He is currently a professor of Computer Science at the University of Oxford . He made a proposal for an information management system in March 1989 , and he implemented the first successful communication between a Hypertext Transfer Protocol ( HTTP ) client and server via the internet in mid-November the same year . Berners - Lee is the director of the World Wide Web Consortium ( W3C ) , which oversees the continued development of the Web . He is also the founder of the World Wide Web Foundation and is a senior researcher and holder of the founders chair at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory ( CSAIL ) . He is a director of the Web Science Research Initiative ( WSRI ) , and a member of the advisory board of the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence . In 2011 , he was named as a member of the board of trustees of the Ford Foundation . He is a founder and president of the Open Data Institute . In 2004 , Berners - Lee was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for his pioneering work . In April 2009 , he was elected a foreign associate of the United States National Academy of Sciences . Named in Time magazine 's list of the 100 Most Important People of the 20th century , Berners - Lee has received a number of other accolades for his invention . He was honoured as the `` Inventor of the World Wide Web '' during the 2012 Summer Olympics opening ceremony , in which he appeared in person , working with a vintage NeXT Computer at the London Olympic Stadium . He tweeted `` This is for everyone '' , which instantly was spelled out in LCD lights attached to the chairs of the 80,000 people in the audience . Berners - Lee received the 2016 Turing Award `` for inventing the World Wide Web , the first web browser , and the fundamental protocols and algorithms allowing the Web to scale '' .

His parents worked on the first commercially built computer , the Ferranti Mark 1 . He attended Sheen Mount Primary School , and then went on to attend south west London 's Emanuel School from 1969 to 1973 , at the time a direct grant grammar school , which became an independent school in 1975 . A keen trainspotter as a child , he learnt about electronics from tinkering with a model railway . He studied at The Queen 's College , Oxford , from 1973 to 1976 , where he received a first - class bachelor of arts degree in physics . Career Berners - Lee , 2005 After graduation , Berners - Lee worked as an engineer at the telecommunications company Plessey in Poole , Dorset . In 1978 , he joined D.G. Nash in Ferndown , Dorset , where he helped create type - setting software for printers . Berners - Lee worked as an independent contractor at CERN from June to December 1980 . While in Geneva , he proposed a project based on the concept of hypertext , to facilitate sharing and updating information among researchers . To demonstrate it , he built a prototype system named ENQUIRE . After leaving CERN in late 1980 , he went to work at John Poole 's Image Computer Systems , Ltd , in Bournemouth , Dorset . He ran the company 's technical side for three years . The project he worked on was a `` real - time remote procedure call '' which gave him experience in computer networking . In 1984 , he returned to CERN as a fellow . In 1989 , CERN was the largest internet node in Europe , and Berners - Lee saw an opportunity to join hypertext with the internet : I just had to take the hypertext idea and connect it to the Transmission Control Protocol and domain name system ideas and -- ta - da ! -- the World Wide Web ... Creating the web was really an act of desperation , because the situation without it was very difficult when I was working at CERN later . Most of the technology involved in the web , like the hypertext , like the internet , multifont text objects , had all been designed already . I just had to put them together . It was a step of generalising , going to a higher level of abstraction , thinking about all the documentation systems out there as being possibly part of a larger imaginary documentation system . This NeXT Computer was used by Berners - Lee at CERN and became the world 's first web server Berners - Lee wrote his proposal in March 1989 and , in 1990 , redistributed it . It then was accepted by his manager , Mike Sendall . He used similar ideas to those underlying the ENQUIRE system to create the World Wide Web , for which he designed and built the first Web browser . His software also functioned as an editor ( called WorldWideWeb , running on the NeXTSTEP operating system ) , and the first Web server , CERN HTTPd ( short for Hypertext Transfer Protocol daemon ) . Mike Sendall buys a NeXT cube for evaluation , and gives it to Tim ( Berners - Lee ) . Tim 's prototype implementation on NeXTStep is made in the space of a few months , thanks to the qualities of the NeXTStep software development system . This prototype offers WYSIWYG browsing / authoring ! Current Web browsers used in ' surfing the internet ' are mere passive windows , depriving the user of the possibility to contribute . During some sessions in the CERN cafeteria , Tim and I try to find a catching name for the system . I was determined that the name should not yet again be taken from Greek mythology ... Tim proposes ' World - Wide Web ' . I like this very much , except that it is difficult to pronounce in French ... by Robert Cailliau , 2 November 1995 . The first web site was built at CERN . Despite this being an international organisation hosted by Switzerland , the office that Berners - Lee used was just across the border in France . It was put online on 6 August 1991 for the first time : info.cern.ch was the address of the world 's first - ever web site and web server , running on a NeXT computer at CERN . The first web page address was http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html , which centred on information regarding the WWW project . Visitors could learn more about hypertext , technical details for creating their own webpage , and even an explanation on how to search the Web for information . There are no screenshots of this original page and , in any case , changes were made daily to the information available on the page as the WWW project developed . You may find a later copy ( 1992 ) on the World Wide Web Consortium website . It provided an explanation of what the World Wide Web was , and how one could use a browser and set up a web server . In a list of 80 cultural moments that shaped the world , chosen by a panel of 25 eminent scientists , academics , writers , and world leaders , the invention of the World Wide Web was ranked number one , with the entry stating , `` The fastest growing communications medium of all time , the internet has changed the shape of modern life forever . We can connect with each other instantly , all over the world '' . In 1994 , Berners - Lee founded the W3C at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology . It comprised various companies that were willing to create standards and recommendations to improve the quality of the Web . Berners - Lee made his idea available freely , with no patent and no royalties due . The World Wide Web Consortium decided that its standards should be based on royalty - free technology , so that they easily could be adopted by anyone . In 2001 , Berners - Lee became a patron of the East Dorset Heritage Trust , having previously lived in Colehill in Wimborne , East Dorset . In December 2004 , he accepted a chair in computer science at the School of Electronics and Computer Science , University of Southampton , Hampshire , to work on the Semantic Web . In a Times article in October 2009 , Berners - Lee admitted that the initial pair of slashes ( `` / / '' ) in a web address were `` unnecessary '' . He told the newspaper that he easily could have designed web addresses without the slashes . `` There you go , it seemed like a good idea at the time '' , he said in his lighthearted apology . Recent work Tim Berners - Lee at the Home Office , London , on 11 March 2010 In June 2009 , then - British Prime Minister Gordon Brown announced Berners - Lee would work with the UK government to help make data more open and accessible on the Web , building on the work of the Power of Information Task Force . Berners - Lee and Professor Nigel Shadbolt are the two key figures behind data.gov.uk , a UK government project to open up almost all data acquired for official purposes for free re-use . Commenting on the opening up of Ordnance Survey data in April 2010 , Berners - Lee said that : `` The changes signal a wider cultural change in government based on an assumption that information should be in the public domain unless there is a good reason not to -- not the other way around . '' He went on to say : `` Greater openness , accountability and transparency in Government will give people greater choice and make it easier for individuals to get more directly involved in issues that matter to them . '' Berners - Lee speaking at the launch of the World Wide Web Foundation In November 2009 , Berners - Lee launched the World Wide Web Foundation in order to `` advance the Web to empower humanity by launching transformative programs that build local capacity to leverage the Web as a medium for positive change . '' Berners - Lee is one of the pioneer voices in favour of net neutrality , and has expressed the view that ISPs should supply `` connectivity with no strings attached '' , and should neither control nor monitor the browsing activities of customers without their expressed consent . He advocates the idea that net neutrality is a kind of human network right : `` Threats to the internet , such as companies or governments that interfere with or snoop on internet traffic , compromise basic human network rights . '' Berners - Lee participated in an open letter to the US Federal Communications Commission ( FCC ) . He and 20 other Internet pioneers urged the FCC to cancel a vote on 14 December 2017 to uphold net neutrality . The letter was addressed to Senator Roger Wicker , Senator Brian Schatz , Representative Marsha Blackburn and Representative Michael F. Doyle . Berners - Lee 's tweet , `` This is for everyone '' , at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London Berners - Lee joined the board of advisors of start - up State.com , based in London . As of May 2012 , Berners - Lee is president of the Open Data Institute , which he co-founded with Nigel Shadbolt in 2012 . The Alliance for Affordable Internet ( A4AI ) was launched in October 2013 and Berners - Lee is leading the coalition of public and private organisations that includes Google , Facebook , Intel , and Microsoft . The A4AI seeks to make internet access more affordable so that access is broadened in the developing world , where only 31 % of people are online . Berners - Lee will work with those aiming to decrease internet access prices so that they fall below the UN Broadband Commission 's worldwide target of 5 % of monthly income . Berners - Lee holds the founders chair in Computer Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology , where he heads the Decentralized Information Group and is leading Solid , a joint project with the Qatar Computing Research Institute that aims to radically change the way Web applications work today , resulting in true data ownership as well as improved privacy . In October 2016 , he joined the Department of Computer Science at Oxford University as a professorial research fellow and as a fellow of Christ Church , one of the Oxford colleges . Personal life Berners - Lee was married to Nancy Carlson in 1990 ; they had two children and divorced in 2011 . In 2014 , Berners - Lee married Rosemary Leith at St. James 's Palace in London . Leith is director of the World Wide Web Foundation and a fellow at Harvard University 's Berkman Center . Previously , she was World Economic Forum Global Agenda Council Chair of the Future of Internet Security and now is on the board of YouGov . Berners - Lee was raised as an Anglican , but in his youth , he turned away from religion . After he became a parent , he became a Unitarian Universalist ( UU ) . He has stated : `` Like many people , I had a religious upbringing which I rejected as a teenager ... Like many people , I came back to religion when we had children '' . He and his wife wanted to teach spirituality to his children , and after hearing a Unitarian minister and visiting the UU Church , they opted for it . He is an active member of that church , to which he adheres because he perceives it as a tolerant and liberal belief . He has said : `` I believe that much of the philosophy of life associated with many religions is much more sound than the dogma which comes along with it . So I do respect them . '' Distinctions Main article : List of awards and honours received by Tim Berners - Lee `` He wove the World Wide Web and created a mass medium for the 21st century . The World Wide Web is Berners - Lee 's alone . He designed it . He loosed it on the world . And he more than anyone else has fought to keep it open , nonproprietary and free . '' -- Tim Berners - Lee 's entry in Time magazine 's list of the 100 Most Important People of the 20th century , March 1999 . Berners - Lee has received many awards and honours . He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in the 2004 New Year Honours `` for services to the global development of the internet '' , and was invested formally on 16 July 2004 . On 13 June 2007 , he was appointed to the Order of Merit ( OM ) , an order restricted to 24 ( living ) members . Bestowing membership of the Order of Merit is within the personal purview of the Queen , and does not require recommendation by ministers or the Prime Minister . He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society ( FRS ) in 2001 . He has been conferred honorary degrees from a number of Universities around the world , including Manchester ( his parents worked on the Manchester Mark 1 in the 1940s ) , Harvard and Yale . In 2012 , Berners - Lee was among the British cultural icons selected by artist Sir Peter Blake to appear in a new version of his most famous artwork -- the Beatles ' Sgt . Pepper 's Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover -- to celebrate the British cultural figures of his life that he most admires to mark his 80th birthday . In 2013 , he was awarded the inaugural Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering . On 4 April 2017 , he received the 2016 ACM Turing Award `` for inventing the World Wide Web , the first web browser , and the fundamental protocols and algorithms allowing the Web to scale '' .

Chelsea F.C. in European football
Chelsea FC in European football - wikipedia Chelsea FC in European football Chelsea F.C. in European football Club Chelsea First entry 1958 -- 60 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup Latest entry 2018 -- 19 UEFA Europa League Titles Champions League 1 ( 2012 ) Europa League 1 ( 2013 ) Cup Winners ' Cup 2 ( 1971 , 1998 ) Super Cup 1 ( 1998 ) Chelsea Football Club is an English professional football club based in Fulham , London . The club 's involvement in European competition dates back to the 1950s . As champions of England , the club was invited to participate in the inaugural European Champions ' Cup in 1955 , but withdrew after pressure from the Football League . Three years later , Chelsea made their European debut against Stævnet in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup , on 30 September 1958 . Chelsea won their first European title in 1971 , defeating Real Madrid to win the European Cup Winners ' Cup . In 1998 , they won the trophy again , followed by the UEFA Super Cup later that year . In 2012 Chelsea won the UEFA Champions League , the fifth English team , and the first from London , to win the competition . In 2013 Chelsea won the UEFA Europa League to become the fourth club to win all three main UEFA club competitions . Chelsea are presently England 's third-most successful club in Europe , with five trophies in total . John Terry holds the club record for appearances in European competitions with 124 , while striker Didier Drogba is the club 's leading European goalscorer with 36 goals . Chelsea 's biggest European win is 13 -- 0 , which came against Jeunesse Hautcharage in the Cup Winners ' Cup in 1971 . Their 21 -- 0 aggregate win over the same opposition is a joint - record in European football . Contents 1 European Cup / UEFA Champions League 2 Records 3 Matches 4 Finals 5 Overall record 5.1 By competition 5.2 By country 6 All - time top goal scorers in UEFA competitions 6.1 Key 7 References European Cup / UEFA Champions League ( edit ) Chelsea were invited to take part in the inaugural European Cup , now UEFA Champions League , in 1955 after they claimed their first league title the previous season . However , Chelsea were bullied into withdrawing from the tournament by the Football League FA . They had thus missed the chance to become the first English club to participate in and potentially win what is now the most prestigious club competition in European football . It was not until 44 years later that they would make their debut in the Champions League . The 1999 -- 2000 season saw the club progress through the group stage and the second group stage to reach the quarter - finals where they faced Barcelona of Spain . Chelsea won the first leg 3 -- 1 at Stamford Bridge with Gianfranco Zola scoring the opener and Tore André Flo a brace . However , they were beaten 1 -- 5 in Spain two weeks later and knocked out of the competition 4 -- 6 on aggregate , thus ended their first Champions League journey . Chelsea qualified for the 2003 -- 04 Champions League by finishing fourth in the 2002 -- 03 FA Premier League . Their place in the Champions League was secured on the final day of the season , beating fifth - place Liverpool 2 -- 1 at home . The game was dubbed ' the £ 20m match ' as Chelsea were only ahead of Liverpool on goal difference before kickoff ; a win for either side would see them qualify for the following season 's Champions League at the expense of the other . Jesper Grønkjær scored the winner in the 26th minute . The goal would later seemed by many as the most important in the club 's history and said to be worth £ 1 billion , as many believe had Liverpool won on that day the subsequent takeover by Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich would never have happened . Chelsea reached the semi-finals after defeating derby rivals Arsenal 2 -- 1 at Highbury . Having not beaten Arsenal since November 1998 , they went into the second leg with a 1 -- 1 home draw . José Antonio Reyes ' goal before the half time gave the Gunners the lead , however Chelsea managed to come back and won in the second half through Frank Lampard 's goal within six minutes of the restart and Wayne Bridge 's winning goal in the 88th minute . The first leg of the semi-final however turned out to be a disaster for Chelsea as they were defeated 1 -- 3 by ten - man Monaco at Stade Louis II stadium . Two weeks later at Stamford Bridge , they were leading 2 -- 0 shortly before the halftime . Had they kept this score to the final whistle , they would go through on away goals . However , Monaco eventually came back in the second half and the game ended a 2 -- 2 draw . As a consequence , Claudio Ranieri was sacked at the end of the season . Chelsea came very close to winning the Champions League several times during the 2000s . The closest they came was in the 2008 UEFA Champions League Final , being held in the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow . This was the first ever all - English Champions League / European Cup Final , with Chelsea facing Manchester United . The game was tightly contested , with the final score after extra time 1 -- 1 . In the penalty shootout , Chelsea were one kick away from winning the Champions League ( Petr Čech having saved Cristiano Ronaldo 's penalty ) . But Chelsea 's captain John Terry slipped on his run up for the final penalty and his shot hit the post . Edwin van der Sar then saved Nicolas Anelka 's spot kick and Manchester United were crowned European Champions for the third time in their history . The following season , Chelsea were on course to make their second final in two years . Following a 0 -- 0 draw at the Camp Nou , Chelsea were beating Barcelona 1 -- 0 at the Stamford Bridge . In a hugely controversial game , Barcelona managed to score an equaliser in the 94th minute of the game . With the score at 1 -- 1 , Barcelona progressed to the 2009 UEFA Champions League Final on away goals . Numerous Chelsea players protested in fury after the final whistle , most notable José Bosingwa and Didier Drogba . Drogba shouted into television cameras that the game was `` a fucking disgrace . '' Both players were handed bans by UEFA for their actions . Chelsea players celebrate their first UEFA Champions League title against Bayern Munich . Chelsea would not feature in a Champions League Final again until the 2012 Final that was being held in Munich 's Allianz Arena . Following several nerve - wracking encounters en route against Napoli , Benfica and Barcelona , Chelsea faced a game against Bayern Munich , who would be playing the Final in their home ground . Bayern controlled the game for the most part , and took the lead in the Final in the 83rd minute through Thomas Müller . Didier Drogba equalised five minutes later with a header from a corner from Juan Mata . In extra time , Bayern missed several opportunities ( including a penalty from former Chelsea player Arjen Robben ) and the game was to be decided with a penalty shootout . Chelsea eventually triumphed 4 -- 3 , despite Juan Mata missing their first penalty . Two Bayern Munich players , Ivica Olić and Bastian Schweinsteiger , failed to convert their penalties . Drogba scored the final penalty of the shootout for the first ever Champions League title for Chelsea . The importance of victory went beyond being the crown jewel of Europe , and meant that Chelsea would secure a place in next season 's Champions League after missing out of qualification , as a result of finishing sixth in the Premier League . In each of their Champions League Final appearances ( in 2008 and 2012 ) , Chelsea were being managed by an interim / caretaker manager at the time ( Avram Grant in 2008 and Roberto Di Matteo in 2012 ) . Di Matteo did receive a permanent contract after winning the 2012 trophy , but was sacked on 21 November that year after just eight months in charge ; he had also guided Chelsea to success in the FA Cup as well as the European Cup during his short tenure .

Observational error
Observational error - wikipedia Observational error `` Systematic bias '' redirects here . This article is about the metrology and statistical topic . For the sociological and organizational phenomenon , see systemic bias . `` Measurement error '' redirects here . It is not to be confused with Measurement uncertainty . 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 . ( September 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Observational error ( or measurement error ) is the difference between a measured value of a quantity and its true value . In statistics , an error is not a `` mistake '' . Variability is an inherent part of the results of measurements and of the measurement process . Measurement errors can be divided into two components : random error and systematic error . Random errors are errors in measurement that lead to measurable values being inconsistent when repeated measurements of a constant attribute or quantity are taken . Systematic errors are errors that are not determined by chance but are introduced by an inaccuracy ( involving either the observation or measurement process ) inherent to the system . Systematic error may also refer to an error with a nonzero mean , the effect of which is not reduced when observations are averaged . Contents ( hide ) 1 Science and experiments 2 Random errors versus systematic errors 3 Sources of systematic error 3.1 Imperfect calibration 3.2 Quantity 3.3 Drift 4 Sources of random error 5 Surveys 6 Effect on regression analysis 7 See also 8 Further reading 9 References Science and experiments ( edit ) When either randomness or uncertainty modeled by probability theory is attributed to such errors , they are `` errors '' in the sense in which that term is used in statistics ; see errors and residuals in statistics . Every time we repeat a measurement with a sensitive instrument , we obtain slightly different results . The common statistical model used is that the error has two additive parts : systematic error which always occurs , with the same value , when we use the instrument in the same way and in the same case , and random error which may vary from observation to another . Systematic error is sometimes called statistical bias . It may often be reduced with standardized procedures . Part of the learning process in the various sciences is learning how to use standard instruments and protocols so as to minimize systematic error . Random error ( or random variation ) is due to factors which can not or will not be controlled . Some possible reason to forgo controlling for these random errors is because it may be too expensive to control them each time the experiment is conducted or the measurements are made . Other reasons may be that whatever we are trying to measure is changing in time ( see dynamic models ) , or is fundamentally probabilistic ( as is the case in quantum mechanics -- see Measurement in quantum mechanics ) . Random error often occurs when instruments are pushed to the extremes of their operating limits . For example , it is common for digital balances to exhibit random error in their least significant digit . Three measurements of a single object might read something like 0.9111 g , 0.9110 g , and 0.9112 g . Random errors versus systematic errors ( edit ) Measurement errors can be divided into two components : random error and systematic error . Random error is always present in a measurement . It is caused by inherently unpredictable fluctuations in the readings of a measurement apparatus or in the experimenter 's interpretation of the instrumental reading . Random errors show up as different results for ostensibly the same repeated measurement . They can be estimated by comparing multiple measurements , and reduced by averaging multiple measurements . Systematic error , however , is predictable and typically constant or proportional to the true value . If the cause of the systematic error can be identified , then it usually can be eliminated . Systematic errors are caused by imperfect calibration of measurement instruments or imperfect methods of observation , or interference of the environment with the measurement process , and always affect the results of an experiment in a predictable direction . Incorrect zeroing of an instrument leading to a zero error is an example of systematic error in instrumentation . The Performance Test Standard PTC 19.1 - 2005 `` Test Uncertainty '' , published by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers ( ASME ) , discusses systematic and random errors in considerable detail . In fact , it conceptualizes its basic uncertainty categories in these terms . Random error can be caused by unpredictable fluctuations in the readings of a measurement apparatus , or in the experimenter 's interpretation of the instrumental reading ; these fluctuations may be in part due to interference of the environment with the measurement process . The concept of random error is closely related to the concept of precision . The higher the precision of a measurement instrument , the smaller the variability ( standard deviation ) of the fluctuations in its readings . Sources of systematic error ( edit ) Imperfect calibration ( edit ) Sources of systematic error may be imperfect calibration of measurement instruments ( zero error ) , changes in the environment which interfere with the measurement process and sometimes imperfect methods of observation can be either zero error or percentage error . If you consider an experimenter taking a reading of the time period of a pendulum swinging past a fiducial marker : If their stop - watch or timer starts with 1 second on the clock then all of their results will be off by 1 second ( zero error ) . If the experimenter repeats this experiment twenty times ( starting at 1 second each time ) , then there will be a percentage error in the calculated average of their results ; the final result will be slightly larger than the true period . Distance measured by radar will be systematically overestimated if the slight slowing down of the waves in air is not accounted for . Incorrect zeroing of an instrument leading to a zero error is an example of systematic error in instrumentation . Systematic errors may also be present in the result of an estimate based upon a mathematical model or physical law . For instance , the estimated oscillation frequency of a pendulum will be systematically in error if slight movement of the support is not accounted for . Quantity ( edit ) Systematic errors can be either constant , or related ( e.g. proportional or a percentage ) to the actual value of the measured quantity , or even to the value of a different quantity ( the reading of a ruler can be affected by environmental temperature ) . When it is constant , it is simply due to incorrect zeroing of the instrument . When it is not constant , it can change its sign . For instance , if a thermometer is affected by a proportional systematic error equal to 2 % of the actual temperature , and the actual temperature is 200 ° , 0 ° , or − 100 ° , the measured temperature will be 204 ° ( systematic error = + 4 ° ) , 0 ° ( null systematic error ) or − 102 ° ( systematic error = − 2 ° ) , respectively . Thus , the temperature will be overestimated when it will be above zero , and underestimated when it will be below zero . Drift ( edit ) Systematic errors which change during an experiment ( drift ) are easier to detect . Measurements indicate trends with time rather than varying randomly about a mean . Drift is evident if a measurement of a constant quantity is repeated several times and the measurements drift one way during the experiment . If the next measurement is higher than the previous measurement as may occur if an instrument becomes warmer during the experiment then the measured quantity is variable and it is possible to detect a drift by checking the zero reading during the experiment as well as at the start of the experiment ( indeed , the zero reading is a measurement of a constant quantity ) . If the zero reading is consistently above or below zero , a systematic error is present . If this can not be eliminated , potentially by resetting the instrument immediately before the experiment then it needs to be allowed by subtracting its ( possibly time - varying ) value from the readings , and by taking it into account while assessing the accuracy of the measurement . If no pattern in a series of repeated measurements is evident , the presence of fixed systematic errors can only be found if the measurements are checked , either by measuring a known quantity or by comparing the readings with readings made using a different apparatus , known to be more accurate . For example , if you think of the timing of a pendulum using an accurate stopwatch several times you are given readings randomly distributed about the mean . A systematic error is present if the stopwatch is checked against the ' speaking clock ' of the telephone system and found to be running slow or fast . Clearly , the pendulum timings need to be corrected according to how fast or slow the stopwatch was found to be running . Measuring instruments such as ammeters and voltmeters need to be checked periodically against known standards . Systematic errors can also be detected by measuring already known quantities . For example , a spectrometer fitted with a diffraction grating may be checked by using it to measure the wavelength of the D - lines of the sodium electromagnetic spectrum which are at 600 nm and 589.6 nm . The measurements may be used to determine the number of lines per millimetre of the diffraction grating , which can then be used to measure the wavelength of any other spectral line . Constant systematic errors are very difficult to deal with as their effects are only observable if they can be removed . Such errors can not be removed by repeating measurements or averaging large numbers of results . A common method to remove systematic error is through calibration of the measurement instrument . Sources of random error ( edit ) The random or stochastic error in a measurement is the error that is random from one measurement to the next . Stochastic errors tend to be normally distributed when the stochastic error is the sum of many independent random errors because of the central limit theorem . Stochastic errors added to a regression equation account for the variation in Y that can not be explained by the included Xs . Surveys ( edit ) The term `` observational error '' is also sometimes used to refer to response errors and some other types of non-sampling error . In survey - type situations , these errors can be mistakes in the collection of data , including both the incorrect recording of a response and the correct recording of a respondent 's inaccurate response . These sources of non-sampling error are discussed in Salant and Dillman ( 1995 ) and Bland and Altman ( 1996 ) . These errors can be random or systematic . Random errors are caused by unintended mistakes by respondents , interviewers and / or coders . Systematic error can occur if there is a systematic reaction of the respondents to the method used to formulate the survey question . Thus , the exact formulation of a survey question is crucial , since it affects the level of measurement error ( ) . Different tools are available for the researchers to help them decide about this exact formulation of their questions , for instance estimating the quality of a question using MTMM experiments or predicting this quality using the Survey Quality Predictor software ( SQP ) . This information about the quality can also be used in order to correct for measurement error ( ) Effect on regression analysis ( edit ) If the dependent variable in a regression is measured with error , regression analysis and associated hypothesis testing are unaffected , except that the R will be lower than it would be with perfect measurement . However , if one or more independent variables is measured with error , then the regression coefficients and standard hypothesis tests are invalid .

The nation first sent a team to the Summer Olympic Games in 1920 , and has participated in every Summer Games since then . India has also competed at several Winter Olympic Games beginning in 1964 . Indian athletes have won a total of 28 medals so far , all at the Summer Games .

Ahead of the 1920 Olympics , Sir Dorab Tata and Governor of Bombay George Lloyd helped India secure representation at the International Olympic Council , enabling it to participate in the Olympic Games ( see India at the 1920 Olympic Games ) . India then sent a team to the 1920 Olympics , comprising four athletes , two wrestlers , and managers Sohrab Bhoot and AHA Fyzee . The Indian Olympic movement was then established during the 1920s : some founders of this movement were Dorab Tata , A.G. Noehren ( Madras College of Physical Education ) , H.C. Buck ( Madras College of Physical Education ) , Moinul Haq ( Bihar sports associations ) , S. Bhoot ( Bombay Olympic Association ) , A.S. Bhagwat ( Deccan Gymkhana ) , and G.D. Sondhi ( Punjab Olympic Association ) ; Lt. Col H.L.O. Garrett ( from the Government College Lahore and Punjab Olympic Association ) and Sagnik Poddar ( of St. Stephen 's School ) helped organise some early national games ; and prominent patrons included Maharajas and royal princes Bhupinder Singh of Patiala , Ranji of Nawanagar , the Maharaja of Kapurthala , and the Maharaja of Burdwan . In 1923 , a provisional All India Olympic Committee was formed , and in Feb 1924 the All India Olympic Games ( that later became the National Games of India ) were held to select a team for the Paris Olympics . The Indian delegation at the Paris Olympics comprised seven athletes , seven tennis players and team manager Harry Buck . In 1927 , the provisional Indian Olympic Committee formally became the Indian Olympic Association ( IOA ) - its main tasks were to promote the development of sports in India , choose host cities for the national games , and send teams - selected from the national games - to the Olympics . Thus , at the 1928 national games , it selected seven athletes to represent India at the next Olympics , with G.D. Sondhi as manager for the Olympic team . By this time , the Indian Hockey Federation ( IHF ) had also been established and it sent a hockey team to the Olympics . The national hockey team and additional sportspersons were similarly sent to the Olympic Games in 1932 ( four athletes and one swimmer ) and 1936 ( four athletes , three wrestlers , one Burmese weight - lifter ) , along with three officials headed by team manager Sondhi . From 1948 onward , because of the Indian Olympic Association 's wider outreach , India began sending delegations of over 50 sportspersons representing several sports -- each selected by its sports federation -- to the Olympics . The delegation was headed by a chef - de-mission . Thus , India 's Olympic delegation in the early Olympic Games was as follows : 1900 : One athlete 1920 : 6 competitors ( four athletes , two wrestlers ) and managers Bhoot and Fyzee 1924 : 14 competitors ( seven athletes , seven tennis players ) and manager Harry Crowe Buck 1928 : 21 competitors ( seven athletes and a hockey team of 14 ) and manager GD Sondhi 1932 : 20 competitors ( four athletes , one swimmer , and a hockey team of 15 ) and three officials headed by manager GD Sondhi 1936 : 27 competitors ( four athletes , three wrestlers , one Burmese weight - lifter , and a hockey team of 19 ) and three officials including manager GD Sondhi 1948 : 79 competitors and a few officials headed by chef - de-mission Moin ul Haq 1952 : 64 competitors and some officials headed by chef - de-mission Moin ul Haq Recent history ( edit ) At the 2008 Beijing Olympics , Abhinav Bindra won gold in the Men 's 10 metre air rifle event becoming the first Indian to win an individual gold medal at the Olympic Games . Vijender Singh got the country 's first medal in boxing with his bronze medal in Middleweight category . The 2012 Summer Olympics saw an 83 - member Indian contingent participating in the games and setting a new best for the country with a total of six medals . Wrestler Sushil Kumar became the first Indian with multiple individual Olympic medals ( bronze at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and silver at the 2012 Summer Olympics ) since Norman Pritchard in 1900 . Saina Nehwal won bronze medal in badminton in Women 's singles getting the country 's first Olympic medal in badminton . Pugilist Mary Kom became the first Indian woman to win a medal in boxing with her bronze medal finish in Women 's flyweight category . At the 2016 Summer Olympics , a record number of 118 athletes competed . Sakshi Malik became the first Indian woman wrestler to win an Olympic medal with her bronze medal finish in Women 's freestyle 58 kg category . Shuttler P.V. Sindhu became the first Indian woman to win a silver medal in Olympics and also the youngest Indian Olympic medallist .

Daylight saving time
Daylight saving time - wikipedia Daylight saving time Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the concept of daylight saving time . For local implementations , see Daylight saving time by country . `` Daylight Saving '' , `` DST '' , and `` Summer time '' redirect here . For the play by Nick Enright , see Daylight Saving ( play ) . For other uses , see DST ( disambiguation ) and Summer time ( disambiguation ) . Daylight saving time regions : Northern hemisphere summer Southern hemisphere summer Formerly used daylight saving or permanently daylight saving Never used daylight saving Daylight saving time ( abbreviated DST ) , sometimes referred to as daylight savings time in U.S. , Canadian , and Australian speech , and known as British Summer Time ( BST ) in the UK and just summer time in some countries , is the practice of advancing clocks during summer months so that evening daylight lasts longer , while sacrificing normal sunrise times . Typically , regions that use daylight saving time adjust clocks forward one hour close to the start of spring and adjust them backward in the autumn to standard time . George Hudson proposed the idea of daylight saving in 1895 . The German Empire and Austria - Hungary organized the first nationwide implementation , starting on April 30 , 1916 . Many countries have used it at various times since then , particularly since the energy crisis of the 1970s . DST is generally not observed near the equator , where sunrise times do not vary enough to justify it . Some countries observe it only in some regions ; for example , southern Brazil observes it while equatorial Brazil does not . Only a minority of the world 's population uses DST , because Asia and Africa generally do not observe it . DST clock shifts sometimes complicate timekeeping and can disrupt travel , billing , record keeping , medical devices , heavy equipment , and sleep patterns . Computer software often adjusts clocks automatically , but policy changes by various jurisdictions of DST dates and timings may be confusing .

The time of day that individuals begin and end work or school , and the coordination of mass transit , for example , usually remain constant year - round . In contrast , an agrarian society 's daily routines for work and personal conduct are more likely governed by the length of daylight hours and by solar time , which change seasonally because of the Earth 's axial tilt . North and south of the tropics daylight lasts longer in summer and shorter in winter , with the effect becoming greater the further one moves away from the tropics . By synchronously resetting all clocks in a region to one hour ahead of standard time , individuals who follow such a year - round schedule will wake an hour earlier than they would have otherwise ; they will begin and complete daily work routines an hour earlier , and they will have available to them an extra hour of daylight after their workday activities . However , they will have one less hour of daylight at the start of each day , making the policy less practical during winter . While the times of sunrise and sunset change at roughly equal rates as the seasons change , proponents of Daylight Saving Time argue that most people prefer a greater increase in daylight hours after the typical `` nine to five '' workday . Supporters have also argued that DST decreases energy consumption by reducing the need for lighting and heating , but the actual effect on overall energy use is heavily disputed . The manipulation of time at higher latitudes ( for example Iceland , Nunavut or Alaska ) has little impact on daily life , because the length of day and night changes more extremely throughout the seasons ( in comparison to other latitudes ) , and thus sunrise and sunset times are significantly out of phase with standard working hours regardless of manipulations of the clock . DST is also of little use for locations near the equator , because these regions see only a small variation in daylight in the course of the year . The effect also varies according to how far east or west the location is within its time zone , with locations farther east inside the time zone benefiting more from DST than locations farther west in the same time zone . History ( edit ) Ancient water clock that lets hour lengths vary with season Although they did not fix their schedules to the clock in the modern sense , ancient civilizations adjusted daily schedules to the sun more flexibly than DST does , often dividing daylight into twelve hours regardless of daytime , so that ( for example ) each daylight hour became progressively longer during spring and shorter during autumn . For example , the Romans kept time with water clocks that had different scales for different months of the year : at Rome 's latitude the third hour from sunrise , hora tertia , started by modern standards at 09 : 02 solar time and lasted 44 minutes at the winter solstice , but at the summer solstice it started at 06 : 58 and lasted 75 minutes . After ancient times , equal - length civil hours eventually supplanted unequal ones , so civil time no longer varies by season . Unequal hours are still used in a few traditional settings , such as some monasteries of Mount Athos and all Jewish ceremonies . During his time as an American envoy to France ( 1776 - 1785 ) , Benjamin Franklin , publisher of the old English proverb `` Early to bed , and early to rise , makes a man healthy , wealthy and wise '' , anonymously published a letter suggesting that Parisians economize on candles by rising earlier to use morning sunlight . This 1784 satire proposed taxing window shutters , rationing candles , and waking the public by ringing church bells and firing cannons at sunrise . Despite common misconception , Franklin did not actually propose DST ; 18th - century Europe did not even keep precise schedules . However , this soon changed as rail transport and communication networks came to require a standardization of time unknown in Franklin 's day . George Hudson invented modern DST , proposing it first in 1895 The New Zealand entomologist George Hudson first proposed modern DST . Hudson 's shift - work job gave him leisure time to collect insects and led him to value after - hours daylight . In 1895 he presented a paper to the Wellington Philosophical Society proposing a two - hour daylight - saving shift , and after considerable interest was expressed in Christchurch , he followed up with an 1898 paper . Many publications credit DST proposal to the prominent English builder and outdoorsman William Willett , who independently conceived DST in 1905 during a pre-breakfast ride , when he observed with dismay how many Londoners slept through a large part of a summer day . An avid golfer , Willett also disliked cutting short his round at dusk . His solution was to advance the clock during the summer months , a proposal he published two years later . The Liberal Party member of parliament ( MP ) Robert Pearce took up Willett 's proposal , introducing the first Daylight Saving Bill to the House of Commons on February 12 , 1908 . A select committee was set up to examine the issue , but Pearce 's bill did not become law , and several other bills failed in the following years . Willett lobbied for the proposal in the UK until his death in 1915 . William Sword Frost , mayor of Orillia , Ontario , introduced daylight saving time in the municipality during his tenure from 1911 to 1912 . Starting on April 30 , 1916 , the German Empire and its World War I ally Austria - Hungary introduced DST ( German : Sommerzeit ) as a way to conserve coal during wartime . Britain , most of its allies , and many European neutrals soon followed suit . Russia and a few other countries waited until the next year , and the United States adopted daylight saving in 1918 . Broadly speaking , most jurisdictions abandoned daylight saving time in the years after the war ended in 1918 ( with some notable exceptions including Canada , the UK , France , and Ireland ) . However , many different places adopted it for periods of time during the following decades and it became common during World War II . It became widely adopted , particularly in North America and Europe , starting in the 1970s as a result of the 1970s energy crisis . Since then , the world has seen many enactments , adjustments , and repeals . For specific details , see Daylight saving time by country . Procedure ( edit ) See also : Daylight saving time by country When DST begins , clocks are advanced by one hour ( as if to skip one hour ) during the very early morning at the beginning of DST . When DST ends , clocks are set back ( as if to repeat one hour ) during the very early morning . Specific times vary by jurisdiction . In the United States , a one - hour time shift occurs at 02 : 00 local time . In spring the clock jumps forward from the last instant of 01 : 59 standard time to 03 : 00 DST and that day has 23 hours . In autumn the clock jumps backward from the last instant of 01 : 59 DST to 01 : 00 standard time , repeating that hour , and that day has 25 hours . A digital display of local time does not read 02 : 00 exactly at the shift to summer time , but instead jumps from 01 : 59 : 59.9 forward to 03 : 00 : 00.0 . Clock shifts are usually scheduled near a weekend midnight to lessen disruption to weekday schedules . A one - hour shift is customary . Twenty - minute and two - hour shifts have been used in the past . Coordination strategies differ when adjacent time zones shift clocks . The European Union shifts all zones at the same instant , at 01 : 00 Greenwich Mean Time or 02 : 00 CET or 03 : 00 EET . The result of this procedure is that Eastern European Time is always one hour ahead of Central European Time , at the cost of the shift happening at different local times . In contrast most of North America shifts at 02 : 00 local time , so its zones do not shift at the same instant ; for example , Mountain Time is temporarily ( for one hour ) zero hours ahead of Pacific Time , instead of one hour ahead , in the autumn and two hours , instead of one , ahead of Pacific Time in the spring . In the past , Australian districts went even further and did not always agree on start and end dates ; for example , in 2008 most DST - observing areas shifted clocks forward on October 5 but Western Australia shifted on October 26 . In some cases only part of a country shifts ; for example , in the U.S. , Hawaii and most of Arizona do not observe DST . Start and end dates vary with location and year . Since 1996 , European Summer Time has been observed from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October ; previously the rules were not uniform across the European Union . Starting in 2007 , most of the United States and Canada observe DST from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November , almost two - thirds of the year . The 2007 U.S. change was part of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 ; previously , from 1987 through 2006 , the start and end dates were the first Sunday in April and the last Sunday in October , and Congress retains the right to go back to the previous dates now that an energy - consumption study has been done . Proponents for permanently retaining November as the month for ending DST point to Halloween as a reason to delay the change -- to provide extra daylight on October 31 . In early 2008 central Brazil was one , two or three hours ahead of eastern U.S. , depending on the date . Beginning and ending dates are roughly the reverse in the southern hemisphere . For example , mainland Chile observed DST from the second Saturday in October to the second Saturday in March , with transitions at 24 : 00 local time . As a result , time difference between two regions varies along the year because of DST . Central European Time is usually six hours later than North American Eastern Time , except a few weeks in March and October / November . Likewise , the United Kingdom and mainland Chile could be five hours apart during the northern summer , three hours during the southern summer , and four hours a few weeks per year because of mismatch of changing dates . Politics ( edit ) Daylight saving has caused controversy since it began . Winston Churchill argued that it enlarges `` the opportunities for the pursuit of health and happiness among the millions of people who live in this country '' and pundits have dubbed it `` Daylight Slaving Time '' . Historically , retailing , sports , and tourism interests have favored daylight saving , while agricultural and evening entertainment interests have opposed it , and its initial adoption had been prompted by energy crises and war . The fate of Willett 's 1907 proposal illustrates several political issues involved . The proposal attracted many supporters , including Arthur Balfour , Churchill , David Lloyd George , Ramsay MacDonald , Edward VII ( who used half - hour DST at Sandringham or `` Sandringham time '' ) , the managing director of Harrods , and the manager of the National Bank . However , the opposition was stronger : it included Prime Minister H.H. Asquith , Christie ( the Astronomer Royal ) , George Darwin , Napier Shaw ( director of the Meteorological Office ) , many agricultural organizations , and theatre owners . After many hearings the proposal was narrowly defeated in a parliamentary committee vote in 1909 . Willett 's allies introduced similar bills every year from 1911 through 1914 , to no avail . The U.S. was even more skeptical : Andrew Peters introduced a DST bill to the United States House of Representatives in May 1909 , but it soon died in committee . Retailers generally favor DST . United Cigar Stores hailed a 1918 DST bill . After Germany led the way with starting DST ( German : Sommerzeit ) during World War I on April 30 , 1916 together with its allies to alleviate hardships from wartime coal shortages and air raid blackouts , the political equation changed in other countries ; the United Kingdom used DST first on May 21 , 1916 . U.S. retailing and manufacturing interests led by Pittsburgh industrialist Robert Garland soon began lobbying for DST , but were opposed by railroads . The U.S. 's 1917 entry to the war overcame objections , and DST was established in 1918 . The war 's end swung the pendulum back . Farmers continued to dislike DST , and many countries repealed it after the war . Britain was an exception : it retained DST nationwide but over the years adjusted transition dates for several reasons , including special rules during the 1920s and 1930s to avoid clock shifts on Easter mornings . Now under a European Community directive summer time begins annually on the last Sunday in March , which may be Easter Sunday ( as in 2016 ) . The U.S. was more typical : Congress repealed DST after 1919 . President Woodrow Wilson , like Willett an avid golfer , vetoed the repeal twice but his second veto was overridden . Only a few U.S. cities retained DST locally thereafter , including New York so that its financial exchanges could maintain an hour of arbitrage trading with London , and Chicago and Cleveland to keep pace with New York . Wilson 's successor Warren G. Harding opposed DST as a `` deception '' . Reasoning that people should instead get up and go to work earlier in the summer , he ordered District of Columbia federal employees to start work at 08 : 00 rather than 09 : 00 during summer 1922 . Some businesses followed suit though many others did not ; the experiment was not repeated . Since Germany 's adoption in 1916 , the world has seen many enactments , adjustments , and repeals of DST , with similar politics involved . The history of time in the United States includes DST during both world wars , but no standardization of peacetime DST until 1966 . In May 1965 , for two weeks , St. Paul , Minnesota and Minneapolis , Minnesota were on different times , when the capital city decided to join most of the nation by starting Daylight Saving Time while Minneapolis opted to follow the later date set by state law . In the mid-1980s , Clorox ( parent of Kingsford Charcoal ) and 7 - Eleven provided the primary funding for the Daylight Saving Time Coalition behind the 1987 extension to U.S. DST , and both Idaho senators voted for it based on the premise that during DST fast - food restaurants sell more French fries , which are made from Idaho potatoes . In 1992 , after a three - year trial of daylight saving in Queensland , Australia , a referendum on daylight saving was held and defeated with a 54.5 % ' no ' vote -- with regional and rural areas strongly opposed , while those in the metropolitan south - east were in favor . In 2005 , the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association and the National Association of Convenience Stores successfully lobbied for the 2007 extension to U.S. DST . In December 2008 , the Daylight Saving for South East Queensland ( DS4SEQ ) political party was officially registered in Queensland , advocating the implementation of a dual - time zone arrangement for daylight saving in South East Queensland while the rest of the state maintains standard time . DS4SEQ contested the March 2009 Queensland state election with 32 candidates and received one percent of the statewide primary vote , equating to around 2.5 % across the 32 electorates contested . After a three - year trial , more than 55 % of Western Australians voted against DST in 2009 , with rural areas strongly opposed . On April 14 , 2010 , after being approached by the DS4SEQ political party , Queensland Independent member Peter Wellington , introduced the Daylight Saving for South East Queensland Referendum Bill 2010 into the Queensland parliament , calling for a referendum at the next state election on the introduction of daylight saving into South East Queensland under a dual - time zone arrangement . The Bill was defeated in the Queensland parliament on June 15 , 2011 . In the UK the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents supports a proposal to observe SDST 's additional hour year - round , but is opposed in some industries , such as postal workers and farmers , and particularly by those living in the northern regions of the UK . In some Muslim countries , DST is temporarily abandoned during Ramadan ( the month when no food should be eaten between sunrise and sunset ) , since the DST would delay the evening dinner . Ramadan took place in July and August in 2012 . This concerns at least Morocco , although Iran keeps DST during Ramadan . Most Muslim countries do not use DST , partially for this reason . The 2011 declaration by Russia that it would stay in DST all year long was subsequently followed by a similar declaration from Belarus . Russia 's plan generated widespread complaints due to the dark of wintertime morning , and thus was abandoned in 2014 . The country changed its clocks to Standard Time on October 26 , 2014 and intends to stay there permanently . Dispute over benefits and drawbacks ( edit ) William Willett independently proposed DST in 1907 and advocated it tirelessly . Proponents of DST generally argue that it saves energy , promotes outdoor leisure activity in the evening ( in summer ) , and is therefore good for physical and psychological health , reduces traffic accidents , reduces crime or is good for business . Groups that tend to support DST are urban workers , retail businesses , outdoor sports enthusiasts and businesses , tourism operators , and others who benefit from having more hours of light after the end of a typical workday in the warmer months . Opponents argue that actual energy savings are inconclusive , that DST increases health risks such as heart attack , that DST can disrupt morning activities , and that the act of changing clocks twice a year is economically and socially disruptive and cancels out any benefit . Farmers have tended to oppose DST . Having a common agreement about the day 's layout or schedule confers so many advantages that a standard schedule over whole countries or large areas has generally been chosen over ad hoc efforts in which some people get up earlier and others do not . The advantages of coordination are so great that many people ignore whether DST is in effect by altering their nominal work schedules to coordinate with television broadcasts or daylight . DST is commonly not observed during most of winter , because the days are shorter then ; workers may have no sunlit leisure time , and students may need to leave for school in the dark . Since DST is applied to many varying communities , its effects may be very different depending on their culture , light levels , geography , and climate . Because of this variation , it is hard to make generalized conclusions about the absolute effects of the practice . The costs and benefits may differ from place to place . Some areas may adopt DST simply as a matter of coordination with others rather than for any direct benefits . Energy use ( edit ) Subtropical climates are highlighted in yellow on this map . People living in these areas may consume more energy as a result of DST . A 2017 meta - analysis of 44 studies found that DST leads to electricity savings of only 0.34 % during the days when DST applies . The meta - analysis furthermore found that `` electricity savings are larger for countries farther away from the equator , while subtropical regions consume more electricity because of DST . '' This means that DST may conserve electricity in some countries , such as Canada and the United Kingdom , but be wasteful in other places , such as Mexico , the southern United States , and northern Africa . The savings in electricity may also be offset by extra use of other types of energy , such as heating fuel . The period of Daylight Saving Time before the longest day is shorter than the period after , in several countries including the United States and Europe . This unequal split is an energy - saving measure . For example , in the U.S. the period of Daylight Saving Time is defined by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 . The period for Daylight Saving Time was extended by changing the start date from the first Sunday of April to the second Sunday of March , and the end date from the last Sunday in October to the first Sunday in November . DST 's potential to save energy comes primarily from its effects on residential lighting , which consumes about 3.5 % of electricity in the United States and Canada . Delaying the nominal time of sunset and sunrise reduces the use of artificial light in the evening and increases it in the morning . As Franklin 's 1784 satire pointed out , lighting costs are reduced if the evening reduction outweighs the morning increase , as in high - latitude summer when most people wake up well after sunrise . An early goal of DST was to reduce evening usage of incandescent lighting , once a primary use of electricity . Although energy conservation remains an important goal , energy usage patterns have greatly changed since then . Electricity use is greatly affected by geography , climate , and economics , so the results of a study conducted in one place may not be relevant to another country or climate . In the United States , high - quality research indicates that DST reduces residential lighting costs but usually increases total energy consumption , especially when non-electricity sources of energy consumption are considered . These non-electricity sources of energy consumption include extra heating fuel on the colder , darker mornings and extra gasoline used to drive to shopping and sporting activities . In some cases , DST increases residential electricity consumption , such as when people use more air conditioning in the longer , hotter evenings . A 2007 study estimated that winter daylight saving would prevent a 2 % increase in average daily electricity consumption in Great Britain . This paper was revised in October 2009 . In 2000 , when parts of Australia began DST in late winter , overall electricity consumption did not change , but the morning peak load and prices increased . The overall consumption was the same because people used more electricity in the dark mornings , and correspondingly less electricity in the brighter evenings . In Western Australia during summer 2006 -- 2007 , DST increased electricity consumption during hotter days and decreased it during cooler days , with consumption rising 0.6 % overall . Although a 2007 study estimated that introducing DST to Japan would reduce household lighting energy consumption , a 2007 simulation estimated that DST would increase overall energy use in Osaka residences by 0.13 % , with a 0.02 % decrease due to less lighting more than outweighed by a 0.15 % increase due to extra cooling ; neither study examined non-residential energy use . This is probably because DST 's effect on lighting energy use is mainly noticeable in residences . Several studies have suggested that DST increases motor fuel consumption . The 2008 DOE report found no significant increase in motor gasoline consumption due to the 2007 United States extension of DST . Economic effects ( edit ) The undisputed winners of DST are the retailers , sporting goods makers , and other businesses that benefit from extra afternoon sunlight . Having more hours of sunlight in between the end of the typical workday and bedtime induces customers to shop and to participate in outdoor afternoon sports . People are more likely to stop by a store on their way home from work if the sun is still up . In 1984 , Fortune magazine estimated that a seven - week extension of DST would yield an additional $30 million for 7 - Eleven stores , and the National Golf Foundation estimated the extension would increase golf industry revenues $200 million to $300 million . A 1999 study estimated that DST increases the revenue of the European Union 's leisure sector by about 3 % . Conversely , DST can harm some farmers , young children , who have difficulty getting enough sleep at night when the evenings are bright , and others whose hours are set by the sun . One reason why farmers oppose DST is that grain is best harvested after dew evaporates , so when field hands arrive and leave earlier in summer , their labor is less valuable . Dairy farmers are another group who complain of the change . Their cows are sensitive to the timing of milking , so delivering milk earlier disrupts their systems . Today some farmers ' groups are in favor of DST . DST also hurts prime - time television broadcast ratings , drive - ins and other theaters . Changing clocks and DST rules has a direct economic cost , entailing extra work to support remote meetings , computer applications and the like . For example , a 2007 North American rule change cost an estimated $500 million to $1 billion , and Utah State University economist William F. Shughart II has estimated the lost opportunity cost at around US $1.7 billion . Although it has been argued that clock shifts correlate with decreased economic efficiency , and that in 2000 the daylight - saving effect implied an estimated one - day loss of $31 billion on U.S. stock exchanges , the estimated numbers depend on the methodology . The results have been disputed , and the original authors have refuted the points raised by disputers . Public safety ( edit ) In 1975 the U.S. DOT conservatively identified a 0.7 % reduction in traffic fatalities during DST , and estimated the real reduction at 1.5 % to 2 % , but the 1976 NBS review of the DOT study found no differences in traffic fatalities . In 1995 the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety estimated a reduction of 1.2 % , including a 5 % reduction in crashes fatal to pedestrians . Others have found similar reductions . Single / Double Summer Time ( SDST ) , a variant where clocks are one hour ahead of the sun in winter and two in summer , has been projected to reduce traffic fatalities by 3 % to 4 % in the UK , compared to ordinary DST . However , accidents do increase by as much as 11 % during the two weeks that follow the end of British Summer Time . It is not clear whether sleep disruption contributes to fatal accidents immediately after the spring clock shifts . A correlation between clock shifts and traffic accidents has been observed in North America and the UK but not in Finland or Sweden . If this effect exists , it is far smaller than the overall reduction in traffic fatalities . A 2009 U.S. study found that on Mondays after the switch to DST , workers sleep an average of 40 minutes less , and are injured at work more often and more severely . DST likely reduces some kinds of crime , such as robbery and sexual assault , as fewer potential victims are outdoors after dusk . Artificial outdoor lighting has a marginal and sometimes even contradictory influence on crime and fear of crime . In several countries , fire safety officials encourage citizens to use the two annual clock shifts as reminders to replace batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors , particularly in autumn , just before the heating and candle season causes an increase in home fires . Similar twice - yearly tasks include reviewing and practicing fire escape and family disaster plans , inspecting vehicle lights , checking storage areas for hazardous materials , reprogramming thermostats , and seasonal vaccinations . Locations without DST can instead use the first days of spring and autumn as reminders . A 2017 study in the American Economic Journal : Applied Economics estimated that `` the transition into DST caused over 30 deaths at a social cost of $275 million annually , '' primarily by increasing sleep deprivation . Health ( edit ) Clock shifts affecting apparent sunrise and sunset times at Greenwich in 2007 . Justification for Daylight Saving Time to the effect that it is a more natural adjustment for people rising with the sun . DST has mixed effects on health . In societies with fixed work schedules it provides more afternoon sunlight for outdoor exercise . It alters sunlight exposure ; whether this is beneficial depends on one 's location and daily schedule , as sunlight triggers vitamin D synthesis in the skin , but overexposure can lead to skin cancer . DST may help in depression by causing individuals to rise earlier , but some argue the reverse . The Retinitis Pigmentosa Foundation Fighting Blindness , chaired by blind sports magnate Gordon Gund , successfully lobbied in 1985 and 2005 for U.S. DST extensions . DST shifts are associated with higher rates of ischemic stroke in the first two days after the shift , though not in the week thereafter . Clock shifts were found to increase the risk of heart attack by 10 percent , and to disrupt sleep and reduce its efficiency . Effects on seasonal adaptation of the circadian rhythm can be severe and last for weeks . A 2008 study found that although male suicide rates rise in the weeks after the spring transition , the relationship weakened greatly after adjusting for season . A 2008 Swedish study found that heart attacks were significantly more common the first three weekdays after the spring transition , and significantly less common the first weekday after the autumn transition . A 2013 review found little evidence that people slept more on the night after the fall DST shift , even though it is often described as allowing people to sleep for an hour longer than normal . The same review stated that the lost hour of sleep resulting from the spring shift appears to result in sleep loss for at least a week afterward . In 2015 , two psychologists recommended that DST be abolished , citing its disruptive effects on sleep as one reason for this recommendation . The government of Kazakhstan cited health complications due to clock shifts as a reason for abolishing DST in 2005 . In March 2011 , Dmitri Medvedev , president of Russia , claimed that `` stress of changing clocks '' was the motivation for Russia to stay in DST all year long . Officials at the time talked about an annual increase in suicides . An unexpected adverse effect of daylight saving time may lie in the fact that an extra part of morning rush hour traffic occurs before dawn and traffic emissions then cause higher air pollution than during daylight hours . In 2017 , researchers at the University of Washington and the University of Virginia reported that judges who experienced sleep deprivation as a result of DST tended to issue longer sentences . Complexity and disadvantages ( edit ) DST 's clock shifts have the obvious disadvantage of complexity . People must remember to change their clocks ; this can be time - consuming , particularly for mechanical clocks that can not be moved backward safely . People who work across time zone boundaries need to keep track of multiple DST rules , as not all locations observe DST or observe it the same way . The length of the calendar day becomes variable ; it is no longer always 24 hours . Disruption to meetings , travel , broadcasts , billing systems , and records management is common , and can be expensive . During an autumn transition from 02 : 00 to 01 : 00 , a clock reads times from 01 : 00 : 00 through 01 : 59 : 59 twice , possibly leading to confusion . The William Willett Memorial Sundial is always on DST . Damage to a German steel facility occurred during a DST transition in 1993 , when a computer timing system linked to a radio time synchronization signal allowed molten steel to cool for one hour less than the required duration , resulting in spattering of molten steel when it was poured . Medical devices may generate adverse events that could harm patients , without being obvious to clinicians responsible for care . These problems are compounded when the DST rules themselves change ; software developers must test and perhaps modify many programs , and users must install updates and restart applications . Consumers must update devices such as programmable thermostats with the correct DST rules or manually adjust the devices ' clocks . A common strategy to resolve these problems in computer systems is to express time using the Coordinated Universal Time ( UTC ) rather than the local time zone . For example , Unix - based computer systems use the UTC - based Unix time internally . Some clock - shift problems could be avoided by adjusting clocks continuously or at least more gradually -- for example , Willett at first suggested weekly 20 - minute transitions -- but this would add complexity and has never been implemented . DST inherits and can magnify the disadvantages of standard time . For example , when reading a sundial , one must compensate for it along with time zone and natural discrepancies . Also , sun - exposure guidelines such as avoiding the sun within two hours of noon become less accurate when DST is in effect . Terminology ( edit ) As explained by Richard Meade in the English Journal of the ( American ) National Council of Teachers of English , the form daylight savings time ( with an `` s '' ) was already in 1978 much more common than the older form daylight saving time in American English ( `` the change has been virtually accomplished '' ) . Nevertheless , even dictionaries such as Merriam - Webster 's , American Heritage , and Oxford , which describe actual usage instead of prescribing outdated usage ( and therefore also list the newer form ) , still list the older form first . This is because the older form is still very common in print and preferred by many editors . ( `` Although daylight saving time is considered correct , daylight savings time ( with an `` s '' ) is commonly used. `` ) The first two words are sometimes hyphenated ( daylight - saving ( s ) time ) . Merriam - Webster 's also lists the forms daylight saving ( without `` time '' ) , daylight savings ( without `` time '' ) , and daylight time . In Britain , Willett 's 1907 proposal used the term daylight saving , but by 1911 the term summer time replaced daylight saving time in draft legislation . The same or similar expressions are used in many other languages : Sommerzeit in German , zomertijd in Dutch , kesäaika in Finnish , horario de verano or hora de verano in Spanish , and heure d'été in French . The name of local time typically changes when DST is observed . American English replaces standard with daylight : for example , Pacific Standard Time ( PST ) becomes Pacific Daylight Time ( PDT ) . In the United Kingdom , the standard term for UK time when advanced by one hour is British Summer Time ( BST ) , and British English typically inserts summer into other time zone names , e.g. Central European Time ( CET ) becomes Central European Summer Time ( CEST ) . The North American English mnemonic `` spring forward , fall back '' ( also `` spring ahead ... '' , `` spring up ... '' , and `` ... fall behind '' ) helps people remember which direction to shift clocks . Computing ( edit ) A 2001 US public service advertisement reminded people to adjust clocks . Changes to DST rules cause problems in existing computer installations . For example , the 2007 change to DST rules in North America required that many computer systems be upgraded , with the greatest impact on e-mail and calendar programs . The upgrades required a significant effort by corporate information technologists . Some applications standardize on UTC to avoid problems with clock shifts and time zone differences . Likewise , most modern operating systems internally handle and store all times as UTC and only convert to local time for display . However , even if UTC is used internally , the systems still require external leap second updates and time zone information to correctly calculate local time as needed . Many systems in use today base their date / time calculations from data derived from the tz database also known as zoneinfo . IANA time zone database ( edit ) The tz database maps a name to the named location 's historical and predicted clock shifts . This database is used by many computer software systems , including most Unix - like operating systems , Java , and the Oracle RDBMS ; HP 's `` tztab '' database is similar but incompatible . When temporal authorities change DST rules , zoneinfo updates are installed as part of ordinary system maintenance . In Unix - like systems the TZ environment variable specifies the location name , as in TZ = ' : America / New_York ' . In many of those systems there is also a system - wide setting that is applied if the TZ environment variable is not set : this setting is controlled by the contents of the / etc / localtime file , which is usually a symbolic link or hard link to one of the zoneinfo files . Internal time is stored in timezone - independent epoch time ; the TZ is used by each of potentially many simultaneous users and processes to independently localize time display . Older or stripped - down systems may support only the TZ values required by POSIX , which specify at most one start and end rule explicitly in the value . For example , TZ = ' EST5EDT , M3. 2.0 / 02 : 00 , M11. 1.0 / 02 : 00 ' specifies time for the eastern United States starting in 2007 . Such a TZ value must be changed whenever DST rules change , and the new value applies to all years , mishandling some older timestamps . Microsoft Windows ( edit ) As with zoneinfo , a user of Microsoft Windows configures DST by specifying the name of a location , and the operating system then consults a table of rule sets that must be updated when DST rules change . Procedures for specifying the name and updating the table vary with release . Updates are not issued for older versions of Microsoft Windows . Windows Vista supports at most two start and end rules per time zone setting . In a Canadian location observing DST , a single Vista setting supports both 1987 -- 2006 and post-2006 time stamps , but mishandles some older time stamps . Older Microsoft Windows systems usually store only a single start and end rule for each zone , so that the same Canadian setting reliably supports only post-2006 time stamps . These limitations have caused problems . For example , before 2005 , DST in Israel varied each year and was skipped some years . Windows 95 used rules correct for 1995 only , causing problems in later years . In Windows 98 , Microsoft marked Israel as not having DST , forcing Israeli users to shift their computer clocks manually twice a year . The 2005 Israeli Daylight Saving Law established predictable rules using the Jewish calendar but Windows zone files could not represent the rules ' dates in a year - independent way . Partial workarounds , which mishandled older time stamps , included manually switching zone files every year and a Microsoft tool that switches zones automatically . In 2013 , Israel standardized its daylight saving time according to the Gregorian calendar . Microsoft Windows keeps the system real - time clock in local time . This causes several problems , including compatibility when multi booting with operating systems that set the clock to UTC , and double - adjusting the clock when multi booting different Windows versions , such as with a rescue boot disk . This approach is a problem even in Windows - only systems : there is no support for per - user timezone settings , only a single system - wide setting . In 2008 Microsoft hinted that future versions of Windows will partially support a Windows registry entry RealTimeIsUniversal that had been introduced many years earlier , when Windows NT supported RISC machines with UTC clocks , but had not been maintained . Since then at least two fixes related to this feature have been published by Microsoft . The NTFS file system used by recent versions of Windows stores the file with a UTC time stamp , but displays it corrected to local -- or seasonal -- time . However , the FAT filesystem commonly used on removable devices stores only the local time . Consequently , when a file is copied from the hard disk onto separate media , its time will be set to the current local time . If the time adjustment is changed , the timestamps of the original file and the copy will be different . The same effect can be observed when compressing and uncompressing files with some file archivers . It is the NTFS file that changes seen time . This effect should be kept in mind when trying to determine if a file is a duplicate of another , although there are other methods of comparing files for equality ( such as using a checksum algorithm ) . A ready clue is if the time stamps differ by precisely 1 hour . Permanent daylight saving time ( edit ) See also : Decree time A move to `` permanent daylight saving time '' ( staying on summer hours all year with no time shifts ) is sometimes advocated , and in fact is currently implemented in some jurisdictions such as Belarus , some parts of Russia ( e.g. Novosibirsk ) , Turkey , Namibia , and São Tomé and Príncipe . It could be a result of following the timezone of a neighbouring region , political will or other causes . Advocates cite the same advantages as normal DST without the problems associated with the twice yearly time shifts . However , many remain unconvinced of the benefits , citing the same problems and the relatively late sunrises , particularly in winter , that year - round DST entails . Russia switched to permanent DST from 2011 to 2014 , but the move proved unpopular because of the late sunrises in winter , so the country switched permanently back to `` standard '' or `` winter '' time in 2014 for the whole Russian Federation . The United Kingdom and Ireland also experimented with year - round summer time between 1968 and 1971 , and put clocks forward by an extra hour during World War II . In the IANA time zone database , permanent daylight saving time is considered standard time that has been added by an hour . On March 23 , 2018 Florida Governor Rick Scott signed legislation asking Congress to approve year - round daylight saving time in Florida .

when did daylight savings time first come into effect
[ "George Hudson proposed the idea of daylight saving in 1895.[4] The German Empire and Austria-Hungary organized the first nationwide implementation, starting on April 30, 1916. Many countries have used it at various times since then, particularly since the energy crisis of the 1970s." ]

After successfully collecting a bone fragment , the team 's survivors barely escape the island following attacks by the Mosasaurus and Tyrannosaurus rex . Three years later in 2018 , a U.S. Senate hearing in Washington , D.C. debates whether Isla Nublar 's dinosaurs should be saved from an impending volcanic eruption . Mathematician Dr. Ian Malcolm testifies that the dinosaurs should be allowed to perish to correct John Hammond 's mistake of cloning them . Meanwhile , Jurassic World 's former operations manager Claire Dearing has established the Dinosaur Protection Group to save the animals . After the Senate rules against rescuing the dinosaurs , Hammond 's former partner , Benjamin Lockwood , summons Claire to his Northern California estate . Lockwood and his aide , Eli Mills , reveal a plan to relocate the dinosaurs to a new island sanctuary . Claire is needed to help reactivate the park 's dinosaur tracking system to locate the animals , particularly Blue , the last living Velociraptor . Although they are estranged , Claire recruits Jurassic World 's former Velociraptor trainer and Blue 's alpha , Owen Grady , to help capture her . On Isla Nublar , Claire and former park technician Franklin Webb get the tracking system online . Owen , paleo - veterinarian Zia Rodriguez , and a mercenary team led by Ken Wheatley search for Blue . Upon finding her , the encounter escalates , resulting in a mercenary shooting Blue and Wheatley tranquilizing Owen . The mercenaries take Zia so she can treat Blue 's injury . Their ship departs for the U.S. mainland as the animals left behind die in the eruption . Claire , Franklin , and Owen sneak aboard in time and assist Zia in transfusing Blue with Tyrannosaurus blood . The group now realize the captured dinosaurs were never being transported to a new island and are for another purpose . Back at the estate , Lockwood 's orphaned pre-teen granddaughter Maisie overhears Mills and auctioneer Gunnar Eversol secretly planning to auction the captured dinosaurs on the black market . They will also unveil the Indoraptor , a new genetically - engineered dinosaur created by geneticist Dr. Henry Wu using Indominus rex and Velociraptor DNA . Wu wants Blue 's DNA to create an enhanced Indoraptor , unaware that Blue 's blood is contaminated . After Maisie informs Lockwood about the auction , he confronts Mills , who murders him . Maisie is later revealed to have been cloned from Lockwood 's deceased daughter and is the reason John Hammond , who opposed human cloning , ended their partnership . The dinosaurs are transported to Lockwood 's estate and caged . Zia and Franklin evade capture , but Owen and Claire are apprehended and confined . Owen incites a Stygimoloch into breaking open their cell . They find Maisie who leads them to the auction where the Indoraptor is being sold despite Wu 's protests that it is a prototype . Owen disrupts the proceedings by luring the Stygimoloch into the room . In the ensuing chaos , Wheatley tranquilizes the Indoraptor to extract a tooth as a trophy , but it feigns sedation and escapes , killing him , Eversol , and others . The Indoraptor hunts Owen , Claire , and Maisie throughout the mansion . Zia releases Blue , who attacks the Indoraptor , causing it to fall through a glass roof to its death . When a hydrogen cyanide gas leak threatens the caged animals , Maisie is unable to let them die and frees them despite Owen 's warning . Mills is killed and the Indominus bone destroyed by the Tyrannosaurus . Owen , Claire , Maisie , Zia , and Franklin safely get away , while Blue and the other dinosaurs escape . In a new U.S. Senate hearing , Dr. Malcolm declares the beginning of a Neo-Jurassic Age where humans and dinosaurs must learn to coexist . The closing scenes show the freed dinosaurs roaming wilderness and outer urban areas . Cast Main article : List of Jurassic Park characters Chris Pratt as Owen Grady : A Navy veteran and former Velociraptor handler for Jurassic World . Bryce Dallas Howard as Claire Dearing : Jurassic World 's former operations manager , now a dinosaur - rights activist , who has founded the Dinosaur Protection Group at San Francisco to save the surviving dinosaurs from Isla Nublar . Rafe Spall as Eli Mills : Lockwood 's ambitious assistant who recruits Owen and Claire to rescue the dinosaurs . Speaking of his character 's actions over the course of the film , Spall noted that , `` Ambition is such a powerful emotion , you can get wrapped up in it and end up doing things in order to succeed . This character believes he is doing right . He has been entrusted with pushing Lockwood 's fortune into the future and making it survive after he dies . Mills feels he is simply doing what he was asked to do . '' Justice Smith as Franklin Webb : A former IT technician for Jurassic World who is now the Dinosaur Protection Group 's systems analyst and hacker . Daniella Pineda as Zia Rodriguez : A former Marine who is now the Dinosaur Protection Group 's paleoveterinarian . James Cromwell as Sir Benjamin Lockwood : John Hammond 's former partner in developing the technology to clone dinosaurs . Toby Jones as Gunnar Eversol : An auctioneer host at Lockwood Estate who sells the Isla Nublar dinosaurs for profit . In an interview , Jones likened his character to that of `` a rogue arms dealer ; he sees profits in selling these creatures as weapons . He is totally morally neutral about whatever he is selling . He is only interested in whether or not it will make him a profit . '' Ted Levine as Ken Wheatley : A seasoned mercenary who commands the rescue operation on Isla Nublar . B.D. Wong as Henry Wu : The former head geneticist of both Jurassic World and the original Jurassic Park . Speaking of his character 's actions , Wong stated : `` I do think he 's motivated by his love for science and his own ego , which is well supported by his massive achievements ... I think he turns a blind eye to the human suffering that comes as a result because he thinks he 's looking at some bigger picture . '' Isabella Sermon as Maisie Lockwood : Lockwood 's juvenile granddaughter and legal ward following her parents ' deaths . Geraldine Chaplin as Iris : The Lockwood Estate housekeeper , Maisie 's nanny , and protector of the Lockwood family 's secrets . Jeff Goldblum as Ian Malcolm : An expert in chaos theory who once consulted for InGen 's Jurassic Park . In a podcast interview , Goldblum revealed of his role `` It 's small ... who knows , they may cut me out entirely ! But if I stay in , I 'll be a sprig of parsley or a little garnish , hopefully with some impact ! '' Director Bayona confirmed that Goldblum 's role is simply a cameo , stating , `` He does n't have a major role in the action but it 's definitely a very meaningful one in terms of the story . '' Peter Jason as Senator Sherwood : A Senator who is among those who debate about saving the dinosaurs on Isla Nublar . Production Development During early conversations on the 2015 film Jurassic World , executive producer Steven Spielberg told director Colin Trevorrow that he was interested in having several more films made . In April 2014 , Trevorrow announced that sequels had been discussed : `` We wanted to create something that would be a little bit less arbitrary and episodic , and something that could potentially arc into a series that would feel like a complete story . '' Trevorrow said Chris Pratt and Omar Sy might reprise their roles for the next few films and said he would direct the film if asked . Trevorrow later told Spielberg that he would only focus on directing one film in the series . In May 2015 , Trevorrow announced that he would not direct another film in the series : `` I would be involved in some way , but not as director . '' Trevorrow felt that different directors could bring different qualities to future films . Pratt had been signed for future films in the series , as was Ty Simpkins , who portrayed Gray in Jurassic World . On June 3 , 2015 , Trevorrow stated that Jurassic World left many story possibilities open : `` I really like the idea that this group of geneticists are n't the only people who can make a dinosaur ( ... ) when you think of the differences between Apple and PC -- the minute something goes open - source , there are all kinds of entities and interests that may be able to utilize that technology . '' On June 8 , 2015 , Jurassic World producer Frank Marshall met with Trevorrow and Universal Pictures to discuss a sequel . Later that month , Trevorrow did not deny that the film could involve `` dinosaur soldiers '' and said the series is `` not always gon na be about a Jurassic Park '' , saying he felt that future films could explore the idea of dinosaurs and humans co-existing . Trevorrow also hinted that the next film may not involve the Jurassic World theme park and said he would be interested in seeing a Jurassic Park film made by one of several Spanish horror film directors , whose names he did not mention . Pre-production On July 23 , 2015 , Universal announced that a fifth film had been scheduled for a June 22 , 2018 , release date in the U.S. It was also announced that Trevorrow would write the script with his writing partner Derek Connolly , as they did for Jurassic World ; that the film would be produced by Frank Marshall ; and that Spielberg and Trevorrow would act as executive producers . Universal also said that Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard would reprise their roles from the previous film . At the time of the film 's announcement , Trevorrow said the series `` is n't always going to be limited to theme parks '' and confirmed that the film would not involve `` a bunch of dinosaurs chasing people on an island '' stating , `` That 'll get old real fast . '' Trevorrow also spoke of the film 's possible open - source storyline : `` It 's almost like InGen is Mac , but what if PC gets their hands on it ? What if there are 15 different entities around the world who can make a dinosaur ? '' In August 2015 , Howard said that the script was being written , and it was announced that the film would be released in the UK two weeks early , on June 7 , 2018 . Later that year , B.D. Wong said he `` would be happy to return '' as Dr. Henry Wu , while Howard announced that filming would begin in 2017 . Howard also said she would be interested in seeing characters from earlier Jurassic Park films return for the fifth film , saying , `` I could see versions of the film where a lot of the characters come back . '' By October 2015 , director J.A. Bayona was being considered to direct the film , although he chose instead to direct the World War Z sequel , a project to which he had already signed on . In January 2016 , it was reported that Bayona could still be a candidate to direct the film after he dropped out of the World War Z sequel due to other commitments . In March 2016 , London was being scouted as a possible filming location and setting for the film , and it was subsequently announced that filming would take place at a UK studio . On April 14 , 2016 , actor Jeff Goldblum said he had no plans to appear in the film as his character Ian Malcolm , although he said he was open to the possibility . On April 18 , 2016 , Bayona was announced as the film 's director , with Belén Atienza and Patrick Crowley joining Marshall as producers . Spielberg , Marshall , and Kathleen Kennedy had been impressed by Bayona 's 2012 film , The Impossible , and initially considered having him direct Jurassic World , but he declined as he felt there was not enough time for production . Trevorrow wanted Bayona to direct the film after seeing his 2007 horror film , The Orphanage . Before Bayona was hired , he met with Trevorrow and became enthused with the project after being shown the script 's second half , which would play out like a haunted house film . After Bayona was hired , Trevorrow said about the film , `` We 're moving it into new territory . J.A. Bayona is an incredible director and I know he 'll push the boundaries of what a ' Jurassic ' movie is . I think it 's important that we take risks . A franchise must evolve or perish . '' Trevorrow and Bayona worked closely throughout the film 's production . In June 2016 , actor Sam Neill was asked if he would return to the series as Dr. Alan Grant and responded , `` You never say never , but I think it 's moved on . It 's different times . '' The film , under the working title of Ancient Futures , was in full pre-production as of July 2016 , with storyboards being designed . Andy Nicholson was hired as the film 's production designer and spent four weeks with Bayona in Barcelona , discussing reference pictures and background details , as well as Bayona 's ideas for the Lockwood mansion . Production was scheduled to begin in Hawaii in February 2017 . Wales was also confirmed as a filming location , including Brecon Beacons and Penbryn . Trevorrow stated that Hawaii would be used as a primary filming location , while U.K. shooting would be limited to studios , without the story taking place there . Trevorrow also said that the film would feature many dinosaurs that were not seen in previous films and denied that the film 's story would involve militarized dinosaurs , which would only be mentioned in the film . For the film 's second half in which dinosaurs are transported by boat to the mainland , Ecuador and Peru had both been scouted as possible filming locations and settings , while Marshall thought that Cabo San Lucas would be ideal , but such locations ultimately did not work for the film 's story . Although the film was partially shot in England , Spielberg felt that the country was too far from the fictional Isla Nublar to be used as the in - film setting during the second half , as he and the producers did not want the film to focus too much time on a boat . Crowley stated , `` Rather than making it a movie about traveling on a boat , which is not very exciting , you needed to get to the place . '' In September 2016 , Bayona confirmed that the film would be the second chapter in a planned Jurassic World trilogy . Later that year , Marshall said that Wong was `` probably going to come back , '' while Jurassic World composer Michael Giacchino confirmed that he would return to compose the fifth film . Óscar Faura was announced as the film 's cinematographer at the end of the year . Writing Although Spielberg was heavily involved in the development of ideas for Jurassic World , he had Trevorrow and Connolly devise their own ideas for the sequel , while retaining final approval on the project . In June 2015 , approximately two weeks after the theatrical release of Jurassic World , Trevorrow embarked on a road trip from Los Angeles back to his home state of Vermont . Connolly agreed to accompany Trevorrow on the trip so they could discuss a basic set of ideas that Trevorrow had for the film . During their eight - day trip , the writers began work on the script and devised the basic story . Trevorrow said the film 's story was inspired by a quote from Dr. Alan Grant in the first film : `` Dinosaurs and man , two species separated by 65 million years of evolution , have suddenly been thrown back into the mix together . How can we possibly have the slightest idea of what to expect ? '' Trevorrow also said that the story was heavily inspired by the idea that , `` A mistake made a long time ago just ca n't be undone . '' The film is also based on concepts from Michael Crichton 's novel Jurassic Park ( 1990 ) and its sequel The Lost World ( 1995 ) , and includes dialogue from the first novel . Isla Nublar 's volcano was an idea that existed in the first novel , and the writers chose to incorporate the idea into the film 's plot . Trevorrow compared the destruction of Isla Nublar to `` the burning down of a church or a temple , '' stating , `` I honestly think it 's like killing off a character in a way , and if you 're going to do that , as long as you approach it with the proper respect and acknowledgement that you understand how indelible and permanent what you 're doing is , then hopefully people will have an emotional response but they wo n't hate you for it . '' The idea to include a `` silent partner '' of John Hammond was also inspired by the Jurassic Park novel . Although the character of Benjamin Lockwood was not featured in the novel , the book depicts the early years leading up to the cloning of dinosaurs , which made Trevorrow realize that there would have been many people involved in such a project , convincing him that someone like Lockwood would be among those people . In his initial film treatment , Trevorrow had included story elements that Marshall and Crowley considered excessive for a single film , as the producers felt it was also important to include details about Owen and Claire 's lives after the events of Jurassic World . Although the original ending was the same as the final film , Trevorrow had wanted to include more details about the integration of dinosaurs into the world , before choosing to remove such details to keep the story focused . For the script 's structure , Trevorrow said he had been inspired by Spielberg 's 2015 film Bridge of Spies , in which two seemingly unrelated stories `` collide in the middle , and move on together . '' Trevorrow was also inspired by the 1975 film Three Days of the Condor , stating , `` It 's one of those places where you think you know what the score is , and then everything changes , and then suddenly you do n't know who to trust . '' Having directed Jurassic World , Trevorrow became familiar with how animatronics worked and wrote scenes into the sequel in a way that would allow for their use , as animatronics are incapable of certain actions such as running . Regarding the idea of human cloning , Trevorrow stated that `` we 're so much closer to cloning humans than we are to cloning dinosaurs . It felt like far less of a leap to me than dinosaurs do . ( ... ) To have a character who has such deep love and has felt such loss and the inability to go on , I think is something we all feel . So the idea that you might be able to bring someone back in that way is emotionally grounded in a very universal idea . '' Trevorrow also stated that he was interested in `` the larger impact '' of genetic power , including its emotional impact and its potential human impact , while further stating `` we knew that we did n't want to continue to make movies about the dangers of messing with science . We want to tell a story about where we are now , which is that we have messed with science , we have fundamentally altered our world and now we 're dealing with the consequences . '' Trevorrow was nervous about how audiences would react to the story 's human cloning aspect , an idea that was supported by Spielberg , who was excited about the questions that such an idea could raise in the film 's sequel . Because of criticism regarding the death of Zara in the previous film , Trevorrow stated that for Jurassic World : Fallen Kingdom , `` We made sure that every death was earned . Everybody deserves their death in this movie , a lesson learned . In 2018 everyone earns it . Horrible people . '' After Bayona was hired , he began reading all of Crichton 's novels -- including Jurassic Park and The Lost World -- for inspiration and `` to try to immerse myself in Crichton 's mind . '' Trevorrow and Connolly began working with Bayona in July 2016 , to perfect the script to the director 's liking . Trevorrow stated that the film would be more `` suspenseful and scary '' than its predecessor : `` It 's just the way it 's designed ; it 's the way the story plays out . I knew I wanted Bayona to direct it long before anyone ever heard that it was a possibility , so the whole thing was just built around his skillset . '' Trevorrow later described the film as `` The Impossible meets The Orphanage with dinosaurs . '' Bayona stated that with the first half of the film set on an island , `` you have what you expect from a Jurassic movie , '' while the second half `` moves to a totally different environment that feels more suspenseful , darker , claustrophobic , and even has this kind of gothic element , which I love . '' Bayona 's concept of gothic suspense for the film was influenced by Alfred Hitchcock films , and he compared the film to The Empire Strikes Back and Star Trek II : The Wrath of Khan , which were both considered darker than their predecessors . Trevorrow said the film 's dinosaurs would be `` a parable of the treatment animals receive today : the abuse , medical experimentation , pets , having wild animals in zoos like prisons , the use the military has made of them , animals as weapons . '' The idea of weaponized dinosaurs came from Spielberg . Trevorrow said that with the film 's dinosaur auction , `` The worst instincts of mankind are revealed . The first film was very clearly about corporate greed . This is just about human greed . '' The film includes ideas previously featured in a rejected 2004 draft for Jurassic Park IV ( later Jurassic World ) , presented in the same structure : a return to Isla Nublar followed by a second half set in a large Gothic building on the mainland . The idea of a dinosaur auction was also present in the rejected draft , which Trevorrow had read while writing the first Jurassic World film . Bayona had his own ideas incorporated into the script while essentially retaining the same original story devised by Trevorrow and Connolly . The film 's underwater opening sequence was already in Trevorrow and Connolly 's script , and Bayona asked Trevorrow to push for it to become a bigger scene with a larger set . Among Trevorrow 's ideas was to include Jeff Goldblum 's character of Ian Malcolm , who appeared in the franchise 's earlier films . Trevorrow and Goldblum discussed dialogue ideas for Malcolm , and Trevorrow stated that he used a lot of dialogue from Crichton 's Jurassic Park novel for the character . Marshall stated that Trevorrow wrote Malcolm as `` the ' Uh oh , danger , I told you so ' kind of character , '' and Trevorrow said about the character , `` I saw him as kind of Al Gore . He 's got a beard now , and he 's like , ' I told all of you this was going to be a disaster , and sure enough it is . ' '' Bayona and Trevorrow ultimately removed certain moments from the script that they felt would be better for the sequel , which was expected to depict dinosaurs having spread around the world . Casting In October 2016 , casting was underway for the role of a nine - year - old girl . Approximately 2,500 girls were interviewed for the role , which ultimately went to Isabella Sermon , marking her film debut . By November 2016 , Tom Holland -- who previously starred in The Impossible -- had discussed having a possible role in the film , but he did not believe he would be available for filming because of scheduling conflicts . Toby Jones , Rafe Spall , and Justice Smith were cast at the end of the year . Daniella Pineda , Ted Levine and James Cromwell were cast in early 2017 , while Wong confirmed his return as Dr. Henry Wu . To maintain secrecy , the Ancient Futures title was used in the casting phase . During auditions , references to dinosaurs were replaced with animals such as lions and grizzly bears . To convince the studio that Pineda was right for the role of Zia , Bayona had her demonstrate that she could perform comedy and drama scenes , as well as improvisation . Pineda auditioned a total of seven times before receiving the role . She auditioned for Bayona , Atienza , and Crowley , and did not meet the cast until she arrived in England for filming . In March 2017 , Bayona announced that Geraldine Chaplin , who had roles in each of his previous films , had joined the cast . The next month , it was announced that Jeff Goldblum would be reprising his role as Dr. Ian Malcolm from the first two films . Bayona considered Malcolm a `` great character ! '' while Marshall said , `` The world has changed a lot since Ian Malcolm went to Jurassic Park and we need his point of view now more than ever . He told us about chaos theory , he was right . '' Filming Filming began at Langley Business Centre in Slough , England , on February 23 , 2017 . Scenes shot at the business center included Claire 's Dinosaur Protection Group office , Owen training his baby raptors , and Owen and Claire attempting to retrieve blood from the sedated T. rex . A majority of filming in England took place at Pinewood Studios . Because of its large sound stages , Pinewood Studios was considered perfect for the film 's many interior scenes . After filming concluded in England , production moved to Hawaii , which was used as a primary filming location . Scenes shot in Hawaii were set on Isla Nublar , the fictional island featured in the first and fourth films . Scenes were also expected to be shot at Brecon Beacons National Park in Wales . The film was shot in CinemaScope , and is the first entry in the Jurassic Park series that is presented in a 2.40 : 1 aspect ratio . The film crew used Arri Alexa 65 cameras throughout the duration of filming . Several scenes were shot to reference various films including From Here to Eternity ( 1953 ) and Dracula ( 1979 ) , as well as Spielberg 's films Raiders of the Lost Ark ( 1981 ) and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial ( 1982 ) . Spielberg was shown scenes from the film during production and he offered his opinions to Bayona . During filming and in between takes , Bayona used an iPod to play different types of music on set to inspire the actors during certain scenes , as he had done for his previous films . Bayona also played sound effects from previous films in the series , including a T. rex roar that he sometimes used to get a natural reaction from the actors . In particular , Bayona played unexpected sounds and loud music to scare Smith for certain scenes , as his character is portrayed as easily frightened . Prior to being filmed , Bayona and Pratt discussed each scene involving the character of Owen , and many of Pratt 's ideas were added into the film . Speaking about Levine 's character , Bayona said , `` He came with this idea of creating this kind of military man . He just wanted to portray the most hateable character possible . ( ... ) And he was so creative on set , trying to give ideas , bringing story notes to make this character more and more hateable . '' The film includes several indirect references to U.S. president Donald Trump , including an idea from Trevorrow in which a news ticker states that the `` U.S. president '' has questioned the `` existence of dinosaurs in the first place . '' Jones was allowed to decide his character 's appearance , which included a wig similar to Trump 's hairstyle . An unscripted moment that was left in the film involves Levine 's character referring to Pineda 's character Zia as a `` nasty woman '' , a line that was previously made famous by Trump . In April 2017 , scenes were filmed at East Berkshire College in Berkshire , England , and at Loch Long in Argyll and Bute , Scotland . Also that month , filming took place at Hartland Park -- formerly the Pyestock jet engine test site -- in Fleet , Hampshire , England , where the film 's opening sequence was shot . The scene was filmed through the night and involved helicopters , rain machines , and lightning simulators to depict a thunderstorm . Bayona described the opening scene as a `` massive action piece '' that resembled the prologues used in James Bond films . Scenes were filmed on sets at Hawley Common , also in Hampshire , where the exterior of Lockwood 's mansion was built , as well as a mainland loading dock where the dinosaurs are brought . The exterior of the ship that transports Isla Nublar 's dinosaurs to the mainland was created entirely through computer - generated effects by Industrial Light & Magic ( ILM ) , which worked on the previous films . The ship 's interior was constructed by Nicholson and his team as a large set at Pinewood Studios , and after filming , the set was rebuilt to depict the large rooftop of the Lockwood Estate . The exterior of the Cragside country house in Northumberland , England , along with its coniferous surrounding , was used to depict the Lockwood Estate exterior . The film crew took plate shots of Cragside and used a computer to combine the shots with footage filmed on set to create the exterior of the Lockwood Estate . No actors were involved in the Cragside shoot . Nicholson previsualized each of the sets that he and his team built to ensure they would be large enough for the intended scenes , stating , `` Someone can tell you a Velociraptor is X-feet long , but until you see it in the space , you ca n't appreciate what that means in terms of your set and the action that needs to take place within it . '' The interior of the multi-floor Lockwood Estate was built entirely on sound stages at Pinewood Studios . The estate set included Eli Mills ' office , Dr. Wu 's large underground laboratory , an underground dinosaur containment facility , separate bedrooms belonging to Benjamin and Maisie Lockwood , and a large library with dinosaur skeletons and artifacts . When filming was completed in the Lockwood library , the set was redecorated and converted into the estate 's underground garage , where the dinosaur auction takes place . Pratt stated that the film involved significantly more stunts than its predecessor . An improvised fist fight scene , between Owen and several men during the dinosaur auction , was added late in filming . It was the first such scene to be featured in the film series , and was filmed in a single continuous shot with the use of a dolly track . On May 10 , 2017 , it was reported that scenes were being filmed at Rock Barracks military base , near Woodbridge , Suffolk . On May 24 , 2017 , scenes were shot at Hampshire 's Blackbushe Airport , which stood in as an American airfield . Filming in the United Kingdom concluded on June 10 , 2017 . Up to that point , Trevorrow was present as an on - set writer for each day of production so he could aid Bayona with any possible script changes . Goldblum shot his scenes in a single day at Pinewood Studios , during the last day of filming in the United Kingdom . Jones also filmed his scenes on large sets at Pinewood Studios . Filming in Hawaii was underway as of June 13 , 2017 , and lasted more than 25 days , with locations that included Dillingham Airfield and Pua'ena Point . On June 21 , 2017 , filming began at Heʻeia Kea Small Boat Harbor in Heʻeia , Hawaii , which served as Isla Nublar 's shipping dock . More than half of the harbor was closed for filming , which required the use of smoke machines . Scenes were scheduled to be shot at the harbor throughout the end of the month . Filming also took place in a nearby Heʻeia jungle for scenes in which Owen searches for and locates Blue . As a reference to the first Jurassic Park film , the scene between Owen and Blue includes an overturned Ford Explorer , previously featured in the original film as a Jurassic Park tour vehicle . Trevorrow had initially considered including the vehicle in a scene in Jurassic World , before settling on the original Jurassic Park visitor center instead . On June 22 , 2017 , the film 's official title was announced as Jurassic World : Fallen Kingdom . At the time , filming was underway at Kualoa Ranch on the Hawaiian island of Oahu . Filming at Kualoa Ranch included the exterior set for a radio tower bunker . In Hawaii , scenes in which characters are running were filmed with the use of the Edge Arm , a stabilized camera that was attached to a crane , which was mounted to a truck that drove alongside the actors . The specialized camera allowed for scenes to be shot steadily despite the truck driving over rough terrain . The film includes a scene on Isla Nublar in which Claire and Franklin are riding in a ball - shaped Jurassic World Gyrosphere ride to evade dinosaurs . The scene was shot at Kualoa Ranch and in England , and Bayona described it as one of the film 's biggest challenges . In Hawaii , the Edge Arm was used to film the actors riding in the Gyrosphere as it was hauled on a trailer to simulate its movement . In England , an outdoor roller coaster track with a 40 - foot drop was constructed for the Gyrosphere , which Howard and Smith rode in to shoot a scene in which the ride plummets off a cliff and into the water surrounding Isla Nublar . Although this portion of the scene could have been shot with the use of a green screen , Bayona wanted the actors to have genuine fear for the scene . The final portion of the scene was shot at Pinewood Studios , where a large indoor tank was constructed and filled with water to depict the submerged ride as Owen tries to break it open and rescue Claire and Franklin . Bayona wanted this portion of the scene to have the appearance of a single continuous shot ; to achieve this , the scene was filmed in five different takes that were merged to make it seem like a single shot . Pratt was aided by a diving instructor for the scene , which also involved Howard and Smith underwater . Filming in the tank lasted five days , and required 85 crew members . The scene in the tank was primarily shot by a second unit crew , as Bayona was busy directing scenes on other soundstages . David Vickery and his team at ILM created the volcanic special effects and consulted volcanologists for research . According to Vickery , the team inquired `` how a volcano of this type might erupt '' and also requested information about `` the various stages of lava and pyroclastic flow . We are speeding it up a bit for the sake of our film , but it is definitely all based on real science . '' All of the lava in the film was created through digital effects , although one scene used cat litter set on fire as a stand - in on set , so the actors would know where to react . The scene was set in an Isla Nublar bunker as lava begins dripping from the roof . The litter had been soaked in flammable liquid , and was dropped from 12 different nozzles above the set . The Main Street section of the Jurassic World theme park was rebuilt on Police Beach in Hawaii for a scene in which Owen and Claire return to the island . The set had previously been built in Louisiana for filming of the previous Jurassic World , but was dismantled after filming concluded . For the sequel , Nicholson had part of the Main Street practically built , although the park 's visitor center could not be constructed in its entirety because of its large size . Unbuilt portions of the park were created by ILM using digital set extensions . Main Street was the largest set built in Hawaii , and required more than three months to complete . Many of the same prop makers returned to recreate the Main Street set , which then had to be aged to give the appearance of abandonment . On July 7 , 2017 , filming took place at Oahu 's Hālona Blowhole , where Pratt , Howard and Smith shot scenes on a beach . Filming concluded on July 8 , 2017 , after shooting was completed at Hālona Blowhole . Bayona said that making the film was the biggest challenge of his life . The original cut of the film was approximately two hours and 45 minutes , which the filmmakers considered too long . The film was trimmed to two hours and eight minutes for the final cut . One scene that was removed from the film would reveal the character of Zia to be a lesbian , an idea that came from Bayona and Trevorrow , who chose to cut it out for runtime reasons . Creatures on screen See also : List of cloned animals in the Jurassic Park series The film 's dinosaurs were created through a combination of animatronics and computer - generated imagery ( CGI ) . Special effects artist Neal Scanlan served as the film 's creature effects creative supervisor , while Vickery and Alex Wuttke served as visual effects supervisors . Scanlan worked on the animatronic dinosaurs , while Vickery and his ILM team created versions of the dinosaurs through CGI . ILM animators in Vancouver worked on dinosaur stampede scenes , while ILM 's London studio created the remaining creature scenes . Approximately 52 ILM animators worked on the film . Scanlan worked closely with Bayona and Vickery to create the creatures , and Vickery and ILM did extensive research to accurately create and depict the dinosaurs , which included consulting with paleontologists . The ILM team also referred to elephants and rhinos to determine how the dinosaurs should move and behave . Dinosaur expert John Hankla , of the Denver Museum of Nature and Science , served as an advisor on the film . After reading fan thoughts on dinosaurs and speaking with children , Bayona realized that dinosaur textures and colors were frequently brought up , and stated , `` I thought that was the area where I could play with . They feel somehow a little bit more exotic and richer in this movie . '' New research had also suggested that real dinosaurs were more colorful and brighter than previously thought . The film features more dinosaurs than any previous film in the series , as Bayona wanted to include several new dinosaurs not previously seen in earlier films , including Allosaurus , Baryonyx , Carnotaurus , Sinoceratops , Stygimoloch , and the fictional Indoraptor . Baryonyx and Carnotaurus were among the creatures created through CGI . Dilophosaurus was in the film 's original cut , but was removed . The film features more animatronic dinosaurs than any previous sequel , and the animatronics used were more technologically advanced than in the previous films . Five animatronic dinosaurs were created for the film , whereas the previous film only featured one . More animatronics were used because the film features closer interaction between humans and dinosaurs than its predecessor , including a scene in which Howard rode atop the sedated T. rex . Bayona stated that animatronics `` are very helpful on set , especially for the actors so they have something to perform against . There 's an extra excitement if they can act in front of something real . '' Scanlan stated that animatronics were not best for every scene : `` In some ways it will have an impact on your shooting schedule ; you have to take time to film with an animatronic . In the balance , we ask ourselves if it is economically and artistically more valuable to do it that way , or as a post-production effect . Once we have looked at each particular case , with the director and the VFX supervisor we decide whether -- because of the environment or the circumstances -- it is the right way to go practically . '' Scanlan spent more than eight months at Pinewood Studios to work on the creatures before and during filming , with a crew of approximately 35 people . Scanlan 's team created functional animatronic models of the T. rex , the Indoraptor and Blue , while ILM worked on CGI versions of the creatures . The T. rex was one of the first animatronic creatures needed for filming , in the form of a full - scale head and shoulders . ILM sent Scanlan a model of the T. rex from its appearance in Jurassic World , and Scanlan used it to create a full - scale 3D print of the T. rex head and shoulders . The life - sized T. rex animatronic was controlled through joysticks , with the ability to breathe and move its head . The T. rex animatronic was used for a scene in which the sedated creature is inside a cage while Owen and Claire attempt to retrieve blood from it . The beginning shots in the scene were created using only the animatronic , while the ending shots solely used CGI , with the middle portion of the scene using a combination of the two methods . Within the film 's story , the T. rex is portrayed as the same individual featured in previous films . Trevorrow said , `` We 've been following this same character since the beginning ; she 's the same T. rex that was in Jurassic Park and in Jurassic World . She is iconic -- not just because she 's a T. rex , but because she 's this T. rex . '' The Blue animatronic was created to lay down on an operating table , depicting the animal in an injured state while the character of Zia operates on the creature . Up to 12 puppeteers , hidden under the operating table , were needed to control the animatronic during filming . The scene was shot twice , with and without the Blue animatronic , and the two versions were later combined for a seamless effect . In creating Blue through CGI , the animators referred to the animal 's appearance in the previous film . According to Vickery , Blue 's movements were designed to resemble a dog : `` You look at the way Blue cocks her head and looks up at you . It 's exactly like a dog . You 're trying to sort of connect the dinosaur with things that you understand as a human . '' The Indoraptor was primarily created through CGI , while a practical head , neck , shoulders , foot and arm were created for close - up shots . For some scenes , an inflatable dinosaur was operated by two puppeteers as a Indoraptor stand - in on set , while a CGI version of the creature would be added in later . The Indoraptor was designed to have long human - like arms , and the creature is depicted as a quadruped and biped , with a height of approximately 10 feet tall while standing on two legs . The Indoraptor 's black color was chosen as Bayona wanted the creature to have the appearance of a black shadow , stating that `` it 's very terrifying when you see the Indoraptor in the dark because you can only see the eyes and the teeth . '' Scanlan 's team also made puppeteering aids , rod puppets , and several prop dinosaurs , all created in coordination with Vickery to ensure a consistent result between the practical effects and CGI . Animal motions that could not be perfected with puppetry , such as blinking , were instead created with computer technology . Among the puppeteer dinosaurs were baby velociraptors , which were used for a scene with Pratt , while the final , wider shots of the scene used two - wheeled , remote - controlled toys to stand - in for the baby raptors on set . The toys included a spring which gave them the ability to jump , and the feature was used to get a genuinely startled reaction from Pratt . Although motion capture was used in the previous film to depict velociraptors , ILM determined after several tests that the technology would not be adequate for depicting dinosaurs in Jurassic World : Fallen Kingdom , and the team chose instead to use key frame animation done for the previous films . However , some motion capture was done as a form of previsualization to aid Bayona . ILM used key framing to create scenes involving a large number of dinosaurs , and referred to high - speed photography of horses racing for aid in creating such scenes . The fight scene between Blue and the Indoraptor , set in Maisie 's bedroom , was designed in London and key framed by ILM . Jance Rubinchik , animation supervisor for ILM , stated that the fight was the `` trickiest sequence '' because of the lack of previsualization . According to Bayona , a Brachiosaurus that is shown dying in the volcanic eruption is meant to be the same individual that is first seen in the original Jurassic Park . The Brachiosaurus in the new film was created using the same animations from the 1993 film . The dinosaur 's death was the last shot on the entire film to be finished ; Bayona and the post-production team stayed up through the night to perfect the scene 's colors and composition , shortly before the film 's release . For advice on veterinary procedures and animatronic movements , the filmmakers sought a veterinary surgeon who had experience with African wildlife . Jonathan Cranston , a Gloucestershire veterinary surgeon , was recommended for the position because of his experience with wildlife in South Africa . Cranston advised Bayona and the producers on how to choreograph several scenes to accurately depict complex veterinarian procedures that involved the dinosaurs . Cranston also worked closely with Pratt , Howard , Pineda and Smith to teach them how to perform such procedures . Additionally , Cranston advised the puppeteers on creating subtle and authentic animal movements , and also worked with Bayona on two scenes . Cranston was on set for 12 days , primarily at Pinewood Studios . Marketing A six - second clip from the film was released on November 22 , 2017 . The first trailer was teased for release on November 30 , 2017 , but this was later confirmed to be incorrect . Several teaser trailers and a behind - the - scenes featurette of the film were released in early December 2017 , prior to the release of a full - length trailer on December 7 . That month , Universal launched a website for the Dinosaur Protection Group that ultimately included miscellaneous information about the group and its effort to save the island 's dinosaurs , as well as a video featuring Howard , Pineda and Smith as their characters . The website was created by Timothy Glover and Jack Anthony Ewins , who previously created the Masrani Global website for Jurassic World . A second trailer aired during Super Bowl LII on February 4 , 2018 . A 30 - second teaser trailer was released on April 13 , 2018 , announcing the release of a third full trailer on April 18 . Several of the trailers and commercials for the film included scenes from the ending that depict the Tyrannosaurus rex and the Mosasaurus now loose in the world , which frustrated Trevorrow , who preferred not to show such scenes prior to the film 's release . Universal spent $185 million on partners for a global marketing campaign , more than double the cost of the previous film 's partner program . The campaign included nine partners which aired television commercials and sold products to promote the film . The partners were Dairy Queen , Doritos , Dr Pepper , Ferrero SpA , Jeep , Juicy Fruit , Kellogg 's , M&M 's , and Skittles . The global marketing campaign consisted of 1.3 billion items to promote the film , including 100 million boxes of Kellogg 's products and 15 million packages of Kinder Joy candy by Ferrero . Dairy Queen , a returning partner from the previous film , sold `` Jurassic Chomp '' ice cream desserts in collectable cups , while Doritos and Dr Pepper marketed versions of their products that featured images of the film 's dinosaurs . For Super Bowl LII , Trevorrow directed a Jeep commercial starring Goldblum and featuring a T. rex . Within 24 hours of its release , the commercial received 39.7 million online views , which was more than any film trailer that was watched online following its Super Bowl LII television debut . Universal also teamed up with Amazon for a marketing stunt in which a large dinosaur - sized box was driven around Los Angeles on a truck to promote the film . Licensing partners included Mattel , Lego , and Funko , all of which created toys based on the film . Mattel produced a variety of toys , including dinosaurs and action figures , as well as Barbie dolls featuring the likeness of Pratt and Howard as their characters . A mobile app titled Jurassic World Facts was released as a tie - in to Mattel 's dinosaur toys , which included symbols that could be scanned to collect facts about each creature . Lego is expected to release 13 Lego sets based on the film . A video game , Jurassic World Evolution , was released simultaneously with the film . A two - part virtual reality miniseries titled Jurassic World : Blue was released for Oculus VR headsets as a film tie - in . It was created by Felix & Paul Studios and Industrial Light and Magic , and features Blue on Isla Nublar at the time of the volcanic eruption . A website and campaign for `` Extinction Now ! '' , the antithesis to the Dinosaur Protection Group , was created by Trevorrow , Glover and Ewins , and was launched shortly before the film 's release . The campaign included a found - footage clip of a Tyrannosaurus loose in San Diego , a reference to The Lost World : Jurassic Park . Release Jurassic World : Fallen Kingdom had its premiere at the WiZink Center in Madrid , Spain , on May 21 , 2018 . The international theatrical release began on June 6 , with the film being released in Singapore and Malaysia on June 7 , in the United Kingdom , India , Italy , South Korea and Angola on June 8 , and in Pakistan on June 16 , 2018 . The film was released in the United States on June 22 , 2018 . Home Media Jurassic World : Fallen Kingdom is scheduled for digital release on September 4 , 2018 and Blu - ray , DVD , Blu - ray 3D and 4K Blu - ray on September 18 , 2018 . Reception Box Office As of August 12 , 2018 , Jurassic World : Fallen Kingdom has grossed $409.6 million in the United States and Canada and $866.8 million in other territories for a total worldwide gross of $1.276 billion , against a production budget in the range of $170 -- 187 million . The film crossed the $1 billion mark on July 5 , 2018 , becoming the 35th film all - time to make the milestone , and seventh for Universal . It also made Universal the second studio ( behind Disney ) to have at least two films in three different franchises make $1 billion worldwide , alongside The Fast and the Furious and Despicable Me . United States and Canada In December 2017 , a survey from Fandango indicated that Fallen Kingdom was one of the most anticipated films of 2018 .

Critical response On review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes , Fallen Kingdom holds an approval rating of 51 % based on 311 reviews , and an average rating of 5.7 / 10 . The website 's critical consensus reads , `` Jurassic World : Fallen Kingdom adds another set piece - packed entry to the blockbuster franchise , although genuinely thrilling moments are in increasingly short supply . '' On Metacritic , which assigns a normalized rating to reviews , the film has a weighted average score of 51 out of 100 , based on 59 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 an 82 % overall positive score . Variety 's Owen Gleiberman called the film better than the first Jurassic World but wrote `` ... ( Fallen Kingdom ) ends up being just a so - so ride . I hope the next one is an all - out ride -- but that for the first time since Spielberg 's 1993 original , it 's actually a great one . The audience for this series has proved that it will turn out in mega-droves . '' Lindsey Bahr of the Associated Press wrote , `` Jurassic World : Fallen Kingdom will not stand up to rigorous scrutiny , and yet , it 's kind of an enjoyable , preposterous and thrilling ride that ticks through nostalgia beats like a shopping list . '' The Boston Globe 's Ty Burr likened the film to a `` Universal Studios theme park ride '' noting , `` It 's enough for a fun fright night at the movies but lacks anything else : character , mystery , wonder , danger . The film 's a rush for an audience that only wants the high . '' In a more critical assessment , Peter Travers of Rolling Stone stated that `` ... this sequel has the perfunctory vibe that comes from filmmakers who cynically believe the public will buy anything T. rex - related , no matter how shoddy the goods or warmed - over the plot . '' Senior Editor Matt Goldberg of Collider also criticized the screenplay stating , `` The film is too lazy to even bother with the modest housekeeping of explaining its characters ' motives . '' The Verge 's Bryan Bishop was equally critical , writing , `` Like its predecessor , Fallen Kingdom is overstuffed with ethical conundrums , and not sophisticated enough to fully engage with them ... the movie 's villains become such cartoony caricatures that it 's impossible to take Fallen Kingdom 's attempted philosophical musings seriously . '' Sam Machkovech of Ars Technica called the film a B movie consisting of `` a sixth - grade sketchbook mash of dino - murder , cartoonish villains , and plot holes '' , while Travis M. Andrews of The Washington Post said the film had `` achieved the impossible : it makes dinosaurs boring '' . In a positive review , Scott Mendelson of Forbes wrote , `` Fallen Kingdom is a gorgeous , mostly enjoyable blockbuster that looked great in IMAX . That it does n't cash all the checks it tries to write is why it 's merely a good movie instead of a great one . '' Writing for The Hollywood Reporter , John DeFore also praised the film saying , `` Finally making good on its name , J.A. Bayona 's Jurassic World : Fallen Kingdom says goodbye to the park for good , not just carrying the de-extincted dinos off the island but freeing itself from the genre trappings of the previous four films . '' Exclaim ! 's Alex Hudson said the film is `` a straight - ahead monster movie : it 's dumb , occasionally gory , and mostly plenty of fun ... It wo n't rekindle your childhood fascination with dinosaurs , but it makes for a suitably silly creature feature . '' Many reviewers singled out the scene where a lone Brachiosaurus , stranded on Isla Nublar , succumbs to the volcanic fumes while the characters helplessly watch from the departing ship , as `` poignant '' or `` haunting '' , especially given the species role in the first movie . Sequel Further information : Jurassic Park § Jurassic World 3 ( 2021 ) An untitled sequel , known as Jurassic World 3 , is scheduled for release on June 11 , 2021 . Trevorrow will direct the film , and will write the screenplay with Emily Carmichael , based on a story by him and Connolly .

Ichabod distracts and knocks out the man , and discovers a reference to the Lincoln Memorial before escaping . Meanwhile , Homeland Security agent Diana Thomas and her partner Eric investigate the headless statue of Lincoln at the memorial , and Eric is attacked and killed by a demon , which nearly kills Diana as well before Ichabod chases it off . The two form a partnership and travel to `` Agency 355 '' , a division of the government that deals with paranormal threats . While there , Ichabod and Diana meet technician Alex Norwood and historian Jake Wells , and learn that the demon is from 1865 , and was summoned by John Wilkes Booth , who used it to kill Lincoln . They learn that the demon is drawn to the American flag , and is weak against copper , which they use to set a trap . At the last second , Jenny shows up and destroys the demon , saving Jake 's life . 51 `` In Plain Sight '' Marc Roskin Bryan Q.

Malcolm reveals that Moll , the coven 's leader , has lied to the others , who kill her in revenge before escaping into the city . Ichabod and Diana investigate Moll 's death , and Ichabod tells Diana that the coven helped Washington expose John André , for which he rewarded them with a plot of land .

At Molly 's school , Jenny steps in and stops two girls from bullying Molly before Ichabod and Diana arrive . Molly breaks her silence by greeting Ichabod .

That evening , a mounted policeman stages an assassination attempt on the President , and turns out to be the Headless Horseman in disguise .

Jenny discovers that a surviving collection of Banneker 's papers is in Dreyfuss ' hands , and Diana and Ichabod learn from him of the existence of `` J Street '' , which Banneker designed as a trap for supernatural beings . After conversing with Jenny , in which she mentions the four white trees she saw as a child , Diana finds similar drawings in Molly 's sketchbook . The group lures the Horseman into an isolated location , which they then seal off using the glyphs .

Ichabod finds himself on trial for the `` murder '' of Abigail Mills , with Henry acting as prosecutor . While searching for the demon 's cave , Jenny is arrested for trespassing ; Diana bails her out and the two find Crane wrapped in a cocoon . Unable to free him , they return to the Vault and conduct further research , learning from an account left by Grace Dixon that the same demon was responsible for the suffering Washington 's forces endured at Valley Forge . Dixon also describes a flammable compound she invented to destroy the demon 's webbing , and Jake and Alex go to retrieve torches , during which they witness Dreyfuss ' bodyguard Jobe steal a map of ley lines . The demon shows Ichabod a vision of Molly and the others dying because of him , and while Jenny manages to kill the demon , he attempts suicide .

Ansel confronts Malcolm , where he explains that his power comes from the sigils he received during his imprisonment in Hell . Ichabod temporarily subdues him , and they lock themselves inside Malcolm 's secret sub-basement . Jake finds an incantation that can disrupt the sigils in the works of John Dee , and Jenny finds a way to sneak into the building through the air vents .

Jenny attempts to track the artifact , but encounters a high level of magical interference , forcing Ichabod to take the team to his old base in the Archives for maps . Diana and Ichabod find letters explaining how Washington tasked Banneker with dividing the Stone into four pieces , but not before asking him to use it for an unspecified purpose . Jenny and the others find the piece , but are attacked by a demon , which Ichabod identifies as a sphinx . Jenny , Jake , and Alex stage a distraction , while Ichabod and Diana access the crypt where the piece is kept and solve the riddle that empowers the sphinx , causing it to weaken and die when Jenny shoots it . Jobe ambushes Crane and transports him to the spot where he had died on the battlefield ( back in 1781 ) , where Dreyfuss reveals that Crane gained his immortality from the Stone , which Washington arranged to ensure that he would be able to defeat the Headless Horseman at the cost of his own life .

Molly 's father , Mitch , returns home from Afghanistan , and he and Diana reconnect . While investigating the woman 's death , Ichabod and Diana learn of two other deaths , with the first occurring outside Sleepy Hollow . Based on the evidence , they conclude that Dreyfuss has been transformed into a monster by the Stone . During a coffee date with Mitch , Diana receives a call that a fourth victim has been found who was killed before the Stone was destroyed , meaning Dreyfuss is not the monster . Ichabod informs Diana that the monster is the Barghest , a European wolf demon that inspired the villain in `` Little Red Riding Hood '' . As the Barghest has the ability to shapeshift , she deduces that `` Mitch '' is an imposter and is targeting Molly because of her status as a Witness . A suspicious Molly ditches the Barghest , and Jenny releases Jobe in return for directions to find her . Using them , Ichabod and Diana kill the Barghest with feldspar bolts . Dreyfuss returns to his company showing signs of demonic corruption , and explains to Jobe that he intends to take the world `` on the same path '' . 57 8 `` Sick Burn '' Darnell Martin Joey Falco February 24 , 2017 ( 2017 - 02 - 24 ) 4AWL08 1.78 Dreyfuss experiences a vision of a world in which he has conquered the United States , with an elderly Ichabod as his prisoner .

To distract the team , Jobe summons a demon that drives its victims to gluttony before they starve to death , including Diana 's superior .

Don Novello
Don Novello - wikipedia Don Novello Jump to : navigation , search Don Novello Donald Andrew Novello ( 1943 - 01 - 01 ) January 1 , 1943 ( age 74 ) Ashtabula , Ohio , U.S. Occupation Writer , film director , producer , actor , singer , comedian Years active 1963 -- present Donald Andrew `` Don '' Novello ( born January 1 , 1943 ) is an American writer , film director , producer , actor , singer and comedian . He is best known for his work on NBC 's Saturday Night Live from 1979 - 1980 , and again from 1985 -- 86 , often as the character Father Guido Sarducci . He appeared as Sarducci in the video of Rodney Dangerfield 's `` Rappin ' Rodney '' , and on many subsequent television shows , including Married ... with Children , Blossom , It 's Garry Shandling 's Show , Unhappily Ever After , Square Pegs and The Colbert Report . Contents ( hide ) 1 Early life 2 Career 3 Personal life 4 Writing credits 5 Selected acting credits 6 Bibliography 7 Albums 8 References 9 External links Early Life ( edit ) Novello was born in Ashtabula , Ohio , the son of Eleanor Eileen ( Finnerty ) , a nurse , and Augustine Joseph Novello , a physician . He is of Italian and Irish descent . In 1961 , he graduated from Lorain High School in Lorain , Ohio . He graduated from the University of Dayton . In 1965 , he graduated from the Thunderbird School of Global Management in Glendale , Arizona . Career ( edit ) In the late 1960s , Novello worked as an advertising copywriter for Leo Burnett in Chicago . Novello created the Father Guido Sarducci character in 1973 after finding a monsignor 's outfit for $7.50 at a St. Vincent de Paul thrift shop . Adding sunglasses , a broom mustache , cigarette and a thick Italian accent , Sarducci became popular in a San Francisco nightclub . Sarducci appeared on San Francisco Channel 20 's Chicken Little Comedy Show , and comic David Steinberg was watching . Steinberg hired Novello as a writer for a TV show that never aired , but he also introduced Novello to Tommy and Dick Smothers , and they hired Novello , too . Novello performed on The Smothers Brothers Show in 1975 , appearing as Sarducci . In the 1970s , Novello started to write letters to famous people under the pen name of Lazlo Toth ( after Laszlo Toth , a deranged man who vandalized Michelangelo 's Pietà in Rome ) . The letters , written to suggest a serious but misinformed and obtuse correspondent , were designed to tweak the noses of politicians and corporations . Many of them received serious responses ; Novello sometimes continued the charade correspondence at length , with humorous results . The letters and responses were published in the books The Lazlo Letters , Citizen Lazlo ! , and From Bush to Bush : The Lazlo Toth Letters . The Lazlo Letters , Novello 's first book of stilted letters to celebrities , caught the attention of Lorne Michaels , producer of Saturday Night Live . Novello was hired as a writer for the show 's third season in 1977 - 1978 where he remained through the fifth season , and returned as a writer in the eleventh season . He also appeared numerous times on the show in the Father Guido Sarducci character . In 1980 , under the name of Father Guido Sarducci , he sang lead vocals on the Warner Bros. Records release , `` I Wo n't Be Twisting This Christmas '' / `` Parco MacArthur '' ( WBS49627 ) . Novello co-wrote the first tune with M. Davich , and the second tune is an Italian language cover of `` MacArthur Park '' , the Jimmy Webb song , in an arrangement similar to that recorded by Richard Harris . Novello made newspapers around the world when he visited the Vatican in 1981 wearing the Father Guido Sarducci costume and , while taking photographs for a magazine article in an area where photography was prohibited , was arrested by the Swiss Guards along with his photographer ( Paul Solomon ) , and eventually charged with `` impersonating a priest '' . The charges were later dropped , and Solomon managed to protect the film from confiscation . In his stage show in Las Vegas and Reno with the Smothers Brothers , Father Guido Sarducci rolled a wheelchair with a dummy in the robes of a cardinal . In the act , Sarducci explained he was the assistant of 108 - year - old `` Cardinal Dario Fungi . '' For a brief period in 1982 , Novello was a producer on SCTV , a Toronto - based comedy show starring Martin Short , Joe Flaherty , John Candy , Eugene Levy , Dave Thomas , Rick Moranis , Andrea Martin and Catherine O'Hara . He was installed by NBC as one of a series of producers for the show 's fourth season , and produced a total of 9 episodes . In 1984 Novello wrote The Blade , a high school yearbook parody in which the students are represented by sheep . Novello co-wrote the unfilmed script for Noble Rot , with John Belushi . He also narrated Faerie Tale Theatre 's third - season episode Pinocchio with Paul Reubens as the titular puppet . Also in 1984 , Novello appeared in the music video for the Jefferson Starship song `` No Way Out '' . In 1989 , Novello co-starred in the anthology film New York Stories in the Francis Ford Coppola - directed segment , Life Without Zoe . In his 2 1 / 2 star review of the movie , Roger Ebert cited Novello for giving `` the most engaging performance in the movie . '' In 1990 , Novello portrayed `` Dominic Abbandando '' in the film The Godfather Part III . Abbandando appears with speaking lines in the first scene as public relations and media coordinator for Don Michael Corleone . Most notable is when he slaps down a news reporter with the challenge : `` You think you know better than the Pope ? '' Novello appears in many other scenes as well , shadowing George Hamilton , and in the climactic scene on the steps of the Palermo opera house , Teatro Massimo . In 2001 , he lent his voice to the character Vincenzo `` Vinny '' Santorini in the Disney animated film Atlantis : The Lost Empire , and subsequently in the direct - to - video sequel Atlantis : Milo 's Return . In 2003 , he filed papers to enter the 2003 California recall election , but failed to collect enough valid signatures to qualify for the ballot . In 2005 , after the death of Pope John Paul II , Novello , as Father Guido Sarducci , reprised his former SNL role as `` Special Vatican Reporter '' for Air America Radio host ( and fellow Saturday Night Live alumnus ) Al Franken . He continued this role until the election of Pope Benedict XVI . In 2006 , he portrayed the role of Galileo on the podcast `` The Radio Adventures of Dr. Floyd '' . He portrayed Pope Pius XII in the 2009 short film All in the Bunker . On June 23 , 2010 , he appeared on The Colbert Report as Father Guido Sarducci . On October 30 , 2010 , he gave the benediction at the Rally to Restore Sanity and / or Fear hosted by Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert . American recording artist Guthrie Thomas credited Don Novello as `` the best performer in the room '' when Novello appeared as Father Guido Sarducci on one of Thomas ' albums in a recording studio full of famous performers . Personal Life ( edit ) Novello resides in San Anselmo , California . He has one brother , Joseph `` Joe '' Novello . His former sister - in - law Dr. Antonia Novello M.D. was Surgeon General of the United States from 1990 to 1993 .

American game show winnings records
American game show winnings records - wikipedia American game show winnings records Jump to : navigation , search In the United States , a game show is a type of radio , television , or internet program in which contestants , television personalities or celebrities , sometimes as part of a team , play a game which involves answering trivia questions and / or solving puzzles , usually for money and / or prizes . Game shows are usually distinguishable from reality television competition shows , in which the competition consumes an entire season of episodes ; in a game show , prizes can typically be won in a single match ( in some cases , particularly in the ones that offer record - setting prizes , contestants can play multiple matches and accumulate a larger total ) . Since the genre began , many shows have offered prizes of large sums of money to contestants ; Teddy Nadler set the original monetary winnings record of $264,000 during his appearance on The $64,000 Challenge in 1957 . Nadler was not surpassed until 1980 , when Thom McKee won $312,700 on Tic - Tac - Dough . In 1999 , John Carpenter won $1,000,000 on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire , becoming the first person to win a seven - figure prize on an American game show . Since then , many players have gone on to win that amount and even surpassed it . As of 2015 , Brad Rutter is the highest - earning American game show contestant of all time , having accumulated a total of $4,555,102 . He succeeded Ken Jennings as the highest - earning contestant by virtue of his victory on May 16 , 2014 , in the Jeopardy ! Battle of the Decades tournament . Contents ( hide ) 1 Daytime game shows 2 Overall winnings record 2.1 1950s -- 1999 2.2 1999 -- 2004 : The million - dollar game show boom 2.3 2004 -- present : Jennings vs. Rutter 3 Top ten winnings list 4 References Daytime game shows ( edit ) Most daytime game show top prizes were limited to $25,000 during the 1960s and 1970s , a restriction made for both budgetary concerns and to assuage criticism from scandals that arose surrounding prime - time game shows in the 1950s . The single day record for shows in daytime television was set by Michael Larson in 1984 , who won $110,237 ( equivalent to $254,000 in 2016 ) on Press Your Luck . Larson achieved his record by memorizing the show 's board patterns . He repeatedly hit the board 's squares that awarded contestants money and an additional spin . That spin would in turn replace the spin he had just used , effectively allowing him to spin the board in the second round as long as wanted . Because of this , his game had to be split into two episodes ( which aired June 8 and June 11 , 1984 ) , as his turn caused the game to go well over the show 's half - hour allotted time . In 2003 , Game Show Network produced a documentary about the event . In 2006 , Larson was succeeded by Vickyann Chrobak - Sadowski , who set the record by winning $147,517 on the 35th season premiere of The Price Is Right in 2006 . Chrobak - Sadowski 's record was later broken by Sheree Heil from her appearance on The Price Is Right in 2013 . She won $170,345 in cash and prizes on the episode that aired December 30 , 2013 , including an Audi R8 won in the pricing game `` Gas Money '' , $10,000 cash , and Prada shoes . On the October 28 , 2016 episode of The Price Is Right , which aired during Big Money Week , Christen Freeman won $210,000 in cash during a playing of Cliff Hangers . During the episode , game rules were modified to offer a top prize of $250,000 , which was reduced by $10,000 for every step the mountain climber took . In addition to her One Bid prize and an additional $1,000 won during the Showcase Showdown , Freeman 's grand total was $212,879 , setting a new daytime record . Overall winnings record ( edit ) 1950s -- 1999 ( edit ) Twenty One host Jack Barry ( center ) with contestant Charles Van Doren ( right ) and fellow contestant Vivienne Nearing ( left ) While the 1950s had multiple big winners ( Herb Stempel and Charles Van Doren of Twenty One being two of the most notable ) , Teddy Nadler set the overall record during the 1956 -- 57 television season , who set a record that would stand for the next two decades by winning $264,000 ( equivalent to $2,326,000 in 2016 ) on The $64,000 Challenge . The quiz show scandals of 1958 and 1959 prompted the cancellation of most of the big - budget game shows and the imposition of strict limits on prize amounts , which meant that through the 1960s and 1970s , game show contestants could not match their 1950s counterparts . It was not until 1980 that Nadler 's record fell . During the summer of that year , a U.S. Naval officer named Thom McKee began a run on Tic - Tac - Dough that carried over into the following season . Since champions on Tic Tac Dough played until they were defeated , and games on the show could end in ties with the pot carrying over , McKee was able to keep building his total as long as he kept playing and winning . McKee won $312,700 ( equivalent to $909,000 in 2016 ) in cash and prizes in 43 games , which included eight cars ( on Tic Tac Dough and its sister show , The Joker 's Wild , a contestant automatically won a car after every fifth game they won ) . While McKee was the biggest solo winner until 1999 , nine couples on The $1,000,000 Chance of a Lifetime won the show 's top prize of $1,000,000 ( equivalent to $2,108,000 in 2016 ) , in a combination of prizes and a long - term annuity , during the show 's run in syndication from January 1986 to September 1987 . However , this program had no solo players . 1999 -- 2004 : the Million - Dollar game show boom ( edit ) In 1999 , McKee was passed by Michael Shutterly , who was the biggest winner in the first airing of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire in the United States . Shutterly was the first contestant on the show to get to the 15th and final question , but elected to walk instead with $500,000 ( equivalent to $719,000 in 2016 ) , which made him the biggest winner in American game show history at the time . Shutterly had previously won $49,200 as a 4 day champion on Jeopardy ! in 1988 , making his career winnings total $549,200 . During the second season of Millionaire in the United States , the show crowned its first million - dollar winner . On November 19 , 1999 , John Carpenter won the show 's top prize without using any lifelines , save for a phone call on the final question to tell his father he was going to win the million dollars . After Carpenter answered the final question , which concerned Richard Nixon 's appearance on Laugh - In in 1968 , host Regis Philbin proclaimed Carpenter the show 's ( and worldwide format 's ) first top prize winner . Carpenter 's record remained intact until the following year . In early 2000 , Rahim Oberholtzer , a contestant on the revival of Twenty One , won four games in his appearances on the show , along with $120,000 in the show 's `` Perfect 21 '' bonus round , for a total of $1,120,000 . For surpassing Carpenter 's mark , host Maury Povich proclaimed Oberholtzer `` the TV Game Show King . '' Late in its run , the Fox show Greed brought back some of its previous winners to try for an extra $1,000,000 . Curtis Warren , who was part of the first team to win $1,000,000 on the show ( of which his share was $400,000 , plus $10,000 for winning a terminator round ) , was one of the contestants brought back to do so on February 11 , 2000 . Warren was given a question about TV shows that had been made into movies , with eight choices ( of which he had to identify the four correct answers ) . He successfully did so , giving himself $1,410,000 and the record for the time being . Warren 's record was even shorter lived than Oberholtzer 's had been , lasting only four days . Three days before Warren 's win , David Legler , who also appeared on NBC 's Twenty One , began a run as champion on the show . Four days after Warren 's win , the run continued , with Legler having earned a grand total of $1,765,000 in six wins to surpass Warren 's record and become the third contestant in two months to top $1,000,000 on a game show . Legler held the record for well over a year . As 2000 ended and 2001 began , the producers of Millionaire decided that it had been too long ( 71 games over a five - month period ) since their top prize had been won , and instituted an accumulating jackpot which added $10,000 to the grand prize amount for each game it was not won . Kevin Olmstead claimed the top prize on April 10 , 2001 , winning a jackpot of $2,180,000 . Olmstead became the first contestant to top $2,000,000 in total winnings on a game show and supplanted Legler as the all - time leader . In 2004 , ABC launched an ultra high - stakes version of Millionaire entitled Who Wants to Be a Super Millionaire , with a $10,000,000 top prize . Two separate Super Millionaire series aired , one in February and one in May of that year . However , despite the higher stakes and the potential for someone to top the all - time record for winnings , the largest prize awarded was $1,000,000 won by Robert Essig . 2004 -- present : Jennings vs. Rutter ( edit ) Ken Jennings has held the all - time game show winnings record twice . One week after Super Millionaire came to an end , Ken Jennings of Salt Lake City , Utah , became the new champion on Jeopardy ! The episode , broadcast on June 2 , 2004 , was the first in a long winning streak for the software engineer , made possible due to a change at the beginning of that season ( the show 's twentieth on air in syndication ) , eliminating the longstanding rule limiting consecutive appearances for a champion to five . With no limit to his appearances , Jennings began to break many game show records . As his streak continued deeper into the 21st season , Jennings was inching closer and closer to Olmstead 's record . Jennings topped Olmstead 's Millionaire winnings with his 65th consecutive win , finishing the day with $45,099 and a new cumulative total of $2,197,000 . Jennings won nine more games before his streak came to an end on November 30 , 2004 . He had extended his record total to $2,520,700 at the time of his defeat , after which he was awarded an additional $2,000 for finishing in second place per Jeopardy ! rules . Shortly after Jennings ' defeat , Jeopardy ! decided to see how he would fare in tournament play . On February 9 , 2005 , the show launched its Ultimate Tournament of Champions , inviting back 144 other past champions to compete over the next three months in a five - round single - elimination tournament with a $2,000,000 grand prize . The field included the highest - winning five - time champions and winners of some previous tournaments , though not all invitees were able to participate . Jennings received a bye into the finals of the tournament , where he faced semi-final winners Jerome Vered and Brad Rutter in a three - game , cumulative total match . Vered had set a single - day scoring record during his appearance on the show in 1992 , while Rutter had won the 2001 Tournament of Champions and the 2002 Million Dollar Masters tournament and was the show 's highest - earning contestant of all - time before Jennings . In the tournament 's three - day final , Rutter defeated Jennings and Vered to win the tournament and $2,000,000 , and in the process he supplanted Jennings as the winningest all time American game show contestant . Including the $1.18 million he had won in his previous Jeopardy ! appearances ( five regular season games , a Tournament of Champions win , the Million Dollar Masters win , and three matches in the earlier rounds of the Ultimate Tournament of Champions ) , Rutter 's total stood at $3,255,102 , while Jennings was now second with $3,022,700 having gained an additional $500,000 for his second - place finish in the tournament . Jennings slowly began to chip away at Rutter 's record , first by winning $714.29 in 2006 as part of the Mob on NBC 's 1 vs. 100 . A year later , Jennings won the Grand Slam tournament on Game Show Network and the $100,000 top prize by defeating Ogi Ogas in the final round . Finally , on October 10 , 2008 , Jennings passed Rutter by winning $500,000 on Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader ? . He extended the record by winning $300,000 in The IBM Challenge , where he and Rutter took on IBM supercomputer Watson in a special 2011 Jeopardy ! event . Rutter won $200,000 in the challenge , in which both he and Jennings pledged half of their winnings to charity . He then added $100,000 more later in 2011 when he appeared on Million Dollar Mind Game , raising his total to $3,555,102 , second only to Jennings ' $3,923,414.29 . In 2014 , Jennings and Rutter were both invited to play in the Jeopardy ! Battle of the Decades , a tournament conducted by the producers of Jeopardy ! to celebrate its thirtieth season in syndication . Both men advanced to the two - day tournament final with Roger Craig filling the third position . Needing a win to reclaim his record , Rutter took the top prize in the tournament after Jennings , who needed to answer the second day 's Final Jeopardy clue correctly to win ( after making a sufficient wager ) , failed to do so . Rutter won the top prize of $1,000,000 while Jennings won the $100,000 second prize . Jennings later appeared on Millionaire in November 2014 . Winning the top prize was the only way he could have reclaimed the record from Rutter ; however , Jennings finished with only $100,000 , leaving him in second place . Jennings later appeared on the ABC prime time show 500 Questions in 2016 ; however , as he only lasted four questions , he was unable to add to his total . Top ten winnings List ( edit ) Rank Name Total winnings Show ( s ) Notes Brad Rutter $4,555,102 Jeopardy ! , $4,455,102 Rutter 's total includes $55,102 during his initial appearance on Jeopardy ! in 2001 , $100,000 in 2002 's Tournament of Champions , two separate $1,000,000 prizes ( one for winning the Million Dollar Masters tournament in 2002 and one for winning the Battle of the Decades in 2014 ) , $2,100,000 during the Ultimate Tournament of Champions in 2005 , and $200,000 ( $100,000 of which was donated to charity ) for finishing third in the 2011 Jeopardy !

who won the most money on a gameshow
[ "Since the genre began, many shows have offered prizes of large sums of money to contestants; Teddy Nadler set the original monetary winnings record of $264,000 during his appearance on The $64,000 Challenge in 1957. Nadler was not surpassed until 1980, when Thom McKee won $312,700 on Tic-Tac-Dough. In 1999, John Carpenter won $1,000,000 on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, becoming the first person to win a seven-figure prize on an American game show. Since then, many players have gone on to win that amount and even surpassed it. As of 2015, Brad Rutter is the highest-earning American game show contestant of all time, having accumulated a total of $4,555,102. He succeeded Ken Jennings as the highest-earning contestant by virtue of his victory on May 16, 2014, in the Jeopardy! Battle of the Decades tournament." ]

Elizabeth is the United States Secretary of State . Contents ( hide ) 1 Biography 2 Career 2.1 Staff 3 References Biography ( edit ) Born in Virginia , Elizabeth attended Houghton Hall Boarding School , where she was co-captain of the debate team alongside Bahrainian Crown Prince Yousif Obaid ( Aasif Mandvi ) . She attended the University of Virginia , and one of her professors was future Chief Justice of the United States Frawley ( Morgan Freeman ) . It was also where she met her future husband . In 1990 , Elizabeth married Henry McCord ( Tim Daly ) . They have two daughters , Stephanie `` Stevie '' ( Wallis Currie - Wood ) and Alison ( Kathrine Herzer ) , and a son , Jason ( Evan Roe ) . She also has a brother , Dr. Will Adams ( Eric Stoltz ) , who is married to Sophie Adams , and with whom he has a 5 - year - old daughter , Annie ; both of her parents died when she was young , in a car accident . She speaks fluent French , German , Arabic , Persian and `` a year of high school Spanish '' . Career ( edit ) Elizabeth worked for the CIA as an analyst for 20 years until she resigned from her position due to an ethical dilemma , just as she was being considered for promotion to Station Chief , Baghdad . She then taught at the University of Virginia as a Political Science Professor . After the death of Vincent Marsh ( Brian Stokes Mitchell ) in a plane crash , President Conrad Dalton ( Keith Carradine ) ( her former mentor at the CIA ) asked her to be the US Secretary of State . Not a natural politician , Elizabeth frequently clashes with the White House Chief of Staff Russell Jackson ( Željko Ivanek ) . As the Secretary of State , her first year in office was spent investigating her predecessor 's death . In `` Tamerlane '' , Elizabeth is in the home of Iranian Foreign Minister Zahed Javani ( Usman Ally ) when a coup d'état orchestrated by Secretary Marsh , CIA Director Andrew Munsey , and CIA analyst Juliet Humphrey , is attempted ; during the attack , both Minister Javani and her personal bodyguard , DS Agent Fred Cole , were killed . In the aftermath , Elizabeth was left with some post-traumatic stress and has been seeing Russell Jackson 's personal therapist . In `` The Show Must Go On '' , during a communications blackout on Air Force One with both the President and the Speaker of the House on board , and with the Vice President in surgery and President pro tempore of the Senate found to be incompetent after a series of mini-strokes earlier in the year , Elizabeth is sworn in as Acting President for a number of hours . In `` You Say You Want a Revolution '' , Elizabeth and her Cuban counterpart are instrumental in the restoration of Cuba -- United States relations , including the opening of the Cuban embassy in Washington and the U.S. embassy in Havana and the repeal of the embargo against Cuba . This has been viewed as a significant milestone in the Dalton presidency . During the first half of the second season , Elizabeth was instrumental in preventing a potential United States - Russia War ( which ultimately was believed to escalate into World War III ) . In `` Vartius '' , due to the failing health and impending resignation of Mark Delgado ( Alex Fernandez ) , President Dalton offered the position of Vice President of the United States to Elizabeth . She initially accepted , but when President Dalton lost his party 's primary , she advised him to run as an independent candidate and ask a popular senator from Pennsylvania to be his Vice President instead , as winning Pennsylvania would increase his chances of ensuring neither major party candidate would achieve a majority in the Electoral College . Staff ( edit ) With the exception of her personal assistant , Blake Moran ( Erich Bergen ) , Elizabeth inherited her entire senior staff from her predecessor , Vincent Marsh . Her personal staff consists of : Nadine Tolliver ( Bebe Neuwirth ) -- Chief of staff ( Ret. 2017 ) Jay Whitman ( Sebastian Arcelus ) -- Policy advisor ( 2014 -- 2017 ) ; Chief of staff ( 2017 -- Present ) Daisy Grant ( Patina Miller ) -- Press secretary Matt Mahoney ( Geoffrey Arend ) -- Speechwriter Blake Moran ( Erich Bergen ) -- Personal assistant In `` Blame Canada '' , she fired Allen Bollings ( John Finn ) , the chief negotiator responsible for peace talks with Iran for threatening military action rather than the trade ban relaxations she authorized , and then lying to herself and the President about it . Starting in `` Whisper of the Ax '' , Elizabeth recruited veteran political operative Michael `` Mike B . '' Barnow ( Kevin Rahm ) as a special advisor to help her politically strategize ; another politician once referred to Mike B. as her `` personal hatchet man '' . In `` The Essentials '' , Nadine retires from the State Department upon learning that she 's about to become a grandmother in order to spend time with her family in San Francisco . After her departure , Elizabeth names Jay her new Chief of Staff . References ( edit ) Jump up ^ `` Chains of Command '' . Madam Secretary . Season 1 . Episode 13 .

Exploration of North America
Exploration of North America - wikipedia Exploration of North America The exploration of North America by non-indigenous people was a continuing effort to map and explore the continent of North America . It spanned centuries , and consisted of efforts by numerous people and expeditions from various foreign countries to map the continent . The European colonization of the Americas followed . Contents ( hide ) 1 Pre-Columbian exploration 2 Age of Discovery and the search for the Northwest Passage 3 Further nautical explorations 4 Overland exploration of the West 4.1 16th to 17th centuries 4.2 18th century 4.3 19th century to present 5 Gallery 6 See also 6.1 Historical overviews 6.2 Specific eras , explorers , regions , and efforts 7 References 8 External links Pre-columbian exploration ( edit ) Main article : Norse colonization of the Americas See also : Pre-Columbian trans - oceanic contact According to the Sagas of Icelanders , Norse sailors ( often called Vikings ) from Iceland first settled Greenland in the 980s . Erik the Red explored and settled southwestern Greenland , which he named to entice potential Icelandic settlers , eventually establishing the Eastern and Western Settlements , which were abandoned around 1350 . L'Anse aux Meadows , an archaeological site on the northernmost tip of Newfoundland , and a second site in southwestern Newfoundland , are the only known sites of a Norse village in North America outside of Greenland . These sites are notable for their possible connections with the attempted colony of Vinland established by Leif Erikson in 1003 . Age of discovery and the search for the Northwest Passage ( edit ) Part of a series on European colonization of the Americas First wave of European colonization British Couronian Danish Dutch French German Hospitaller ( Maltese ) Norse Portuguese Russian Scottish Spanish Swedish Colonization of Canada Colonization of the United States Decolonization Colonialism portal Further information : European colonization of the Americas The Viking voyages did not become common knowledge in the Old World , and Europeans remained ignorant of the existence of the Americas as a whole , until the first decades following the year 1492 . Many expeditions were launched from European nations in search of a Northwest Passage to East Asia ( or `` the Indies '' as the region was called ) in order to establish a shorter trade route to China than the Silk Road , a trade route which had become desperately needed and yet exacerbated by the Fall of Constantinople . Also , the Castilian crown needed an alternative to the Portuguese controlled eastern maritime trade route around Africa to India and East Asia . The arrival of Christopher Colombus to America , 1492 On August 3 , 1492 , Christopher Columbus set sail from the Port of Palos de la Frontera in the Province of Huelva , from the newly los Reyes Católicos coordinated Kingdoms of Castile and Aragon , in present - day Spain , financed by Queen Isabella I of Castille . Columbus 's Letter on the First Voyage of his discovery of the Bahamas , Cuba , and Hispaniola spread the news across Europe quickly . Columbus rediscovered and explored much of the Lesser Antilles in his second voyage then discovered both Trinidad and Tobago on his third voyage whilst skirting the northern South American coast . His fourth voyage was spent scanning the Central American coast . The Voyages of Christopher Columbus opened the New World . Italian navigator and explorer Giovanni Caboto ( known in English as John Cabot ) is credited with the discovery of continental North America on June 24 , 1497 , under the commission of Henry VII of England . Though the exact location of his discovery remains disputed , the Canadian and United Kingdom governments ' official position is that he landed on the island of Newfoundland . The English presence through Giovanni Caboto was signaled in Juan de la Cosa 's map of 1500 . In 1499 João Fernandes Lavrador was licensed by the King of Manuel I of Portugal and together with Pêro de Barcelos they reached Greenland and sighted Labrador for the first time since Leif Erikson , which was granted and named after Lavrador . After returning he possibly went to Bristol to sail in the name of England . Nearly at the same time , between 1499 and 1502 the brothers Gaspar and Miguel Corte Real explored and named the coasts of Greenland , Labrador and also Newfoundland , naming `` Terra Verde '' the explored North American coasts . Both explorations were signaled in 1502 Cantino planisphere . It was soon understood that Columbus had not reached Asia , but rather found what was to Europeans a New World , which in 1507 was named `` America '' , probably after Amerigo Vespucci , on the Waldseemüller map . Further nautical explorations ( edit ) In 1500 , Pedro Álvares Cabral was sent by Portugal to explore South America . He is considered to be the discoverer of Brazil . Aragon King Ferdinand II sent Juan Ponce de León from the fledgling colony on Hispaniola to verify rumors of undiscovered land to the northwest . On April 2 , 1513 , Ponce de León disembarked on the northeast coast of what he named Florida for the crown . The exact location is disputed , but historians have offered the possibilities of St. Augustine , Ponce de León Inlet , and Melbourne Beach . He encountered the powerful Gulf Stream and found a passage through the Florida Keys to land on the southwestern Gulf Coast of Florida on the Gulf of Mexico . Again , the exact location is disputed . While it is true that Columbus visited Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands in 1493 , Ponce de Leon was the first known European to reach the present - day United States ( mainland ) . On September 25 , 1513 , Spanish conquistador Vasco Núñez de Balboa was the first European to see the Pacific Ocean once he crossed the Isthmus of Panama . He claimed all the territory touching it for the Crown , later to affect colonization of Las Californias . Around 1519 - 1521 , Portuguese explorer João Álvares Fagundes explored the coasts of Newfoundland , Labrador and Nova Scotia , with a mission to create colonies . In 1524 , Italian explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano sailed for King Francis I of France and is known as the first European since the Norse to explore the Atlantic coast of North America . Arriving near the Cape Fear River delta , he explored the coastlines of present - day states of South Carolina and North Carolina , entering the Pamlico Sound , and bypassing entrances to the Chesapeake Bay . Believing the New York Harbor to be a lake , he sailed past Long Island , exploring Narragansett Bay and Newfoundland . In 1524 - 1525 , Portuguese explorer Estevão Gomes , on behalf of Charles I of Spain , explored present - day Nova Scotia sailing South along the Maine coast . Gomes entered New York Harbor and saw the Hudson River ( which he named the `` San Antonio River '' ) . Because of his expedition , the 1529 Diogo Ribeiro world map outlines the East coast of North America almost perfectly . In 1534 , Jacques Cartier planted a cross in the Gaspé Peninsula , on the Gulf Gulf of Saint Lawrence and claimed the land in the name of Francis I. In 1535 Cartier explored the St. Lawrence river and also claimed the region for France . Map of Hudson 's voyages to North America . After two failed attempts to reach East Asia by circumnavigating Siberia , Henry Hudson sailed west in 1609 under the Dutch East India Company . He , too , passed Cape Cod , Chesapeake Bay and the Delaware Bay , instead sailing up the Hudson River on September 11 , 1609 in search of a fabled connection to the Pacific via what was actually the Great Lakes . In Hudson 's fourth and final voyage , he discovered , mapped , and explored the Hudson Strait , Hudson Bay and James Bay . Other major sea - based explorers were Captain James Cook , George Vancouver , and Charles Wilkes . Overland exploration of the West ( edit ) 16th to 17th centuries ( edit ) There were numerous Spanish explorers and conquistadors who explored the Southwest of North America ( including present - day west and central United States ) and cross the continent ( east to west ) in its southern regions , mainly from the second quarter to the middle of the 16th century , such as Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca and Francisco Vásquez de Coronado , but also the North American Southeast and south - central regions , s Soto ) ) . Map of the North - West Territory of the Province of Canada , stretching from the Fraser River on the west to Lake Superior on the east . By David Thompson , 1814 . In 1608 Samuel de Champlain founded what is now Quebec City , which would become the first permanent settlement and the capital of New France . He took personal administration over the city and its affairs , and sent out expeditions to explore the interior . Champlain himself discovered Lake Champlain in 1609 . By 1615 , he had travelled by canoe up the Ottawa River through Lake Nipissing and Georgian Bay to the centre of Huron country near Lake Simcoe . During these voyages , Champlain aided the Wendat ( aka ' Hurons ' ) in their battles against the Iroquois Confederacy . As a result , the Iroquois would become enemies of the French and be involved in multiple conflicts . From 1679 to 1682 René - Robert Cavelier , Sieur de La Salle explored the Great Lakes region of the United States and Canada , and the entire course of Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico . From 1697 to 1702 Eusebio Kino explored the Sonoran Desert and on his journey to the Colorado River Delta discovered an overland route to Baja California that was then commonly believed to be an island . In 1683 Kino lead the first European overland crossing of Baja California . European exploration of western Canada was largely motivated by the fur trade and the search for the elusive Northwest Passage . Hudson 's Bay Company explorer Henry Kelsey has the distinction of being the first European to see the northern Great Plains in 1690 . 18th century ( edit ) Anthony Henday was the first to have seen the Rocky Mountains , in 1754 , but curiously did not mention it in his journals . From his westernmost geographic position ( roughly near the town of Olds , Alberta , halfway between Calgary and Red Deer , Alberta ) the Rockies should have been quite conspicuous , but he was likely trying to disguise the disappointing fact that an unknown range of seemingly impassible mountains now stood between the HBC and the Pacific . Samuel Hearne found the Coppermine River in 1769 - 71 in his failed search for copper ore deposits . Burned by these shortfalls , the HBC largely quit exploration . The North West Company , on the other hand , used a business model that required constant expansion into untapped areas . Under the auspices of the NWC , Alexander Mackenzie discovered the Mackenzie River in 1789 and was the first European to reach the North - American Pacific overland , via the Bella Coola River , in 1793 . Simon Fraser reached the Pacific in 1808 via the Fraser River . David Thompson , widely regarded as the greatest land geographer that ever lived , traveled over 90,000 km during his lifetime . In 1797 , Thompson was sent south by his employers to survey part of the Canada - U.S. boundary along the water routes from Lake Superior to Lake of the Woods to satisfy unresolved questions of territory arising from the Jay Treaty between Great Britain and the United States . By 1798 Thompson had completed a survey of 6,750 km ( 4,190 mi ) from Grand Portage , through Lake Winnipeg , to the headwaters of the Assiniboine and Mississippi Rivers , as well as two sides of Lake Superior . In 1798 , the company sent him to Red Deer Lake ( in present - day Alberta ) to establish a trading post . The English translation of Lac La Biche - Red Deer Lake - first appeared on the Mackenzie map of 1793 . Thompson spent the next few seasons trading based in Fort George ( now in Alberta ) , and during this time led several expeditions into the Rocky Mountains . In 1811 / 1812 he followed the Columbia River to the Pacific , and in 1814 used his notes and measurements to draft the first European - style map of western Canada , covering 3.9 million square kilometres . 19th century to present ( edit ) Lewis and Clark were the first Americans to venture into the newly acquired territory of the Louisiana Purchase , at the order of President Thomas Jefferson . They discovered many new geographical features , Indian tribes , and animal and plant species . John Colter was a member of the expedition who subsequently became a guide for others in the ' Old West , ' and did some explorations of his own . John C. Frémont led many important explorations in the Great Plains , Great Basin , Oregon territory , and Mexican Alta California . Joseph Reddeford Walker was one of the most prominent of the explorers , and charted many new paths through the West , which often were then utilized by emigrants crossing to settle in Western towns and communities . In 1833 , his exploring party discovered a route along the Humboldt River across present - day Nevada , ascending the Sierra Nevada following the Carson River and descending via Stanislaus River drainages to Monterey . His return route across the southern Sierra was via Walker Pass , named after Walker by John Charles Fremont . The approach of the Sierra via the Carson River route later became known as the California Trail , the primary route for the emigrants to the gold fields during the California gold rush . As the American population of the West increased , the US government launched ongoing official explorations mainly through the US Army Corps of Topographical Engineers . One of the main officers and explorers in this unit was George Wheeler . In 1872 , the US Congress authorized an ambitious plan to map the portion of the United States west of the 100th meridian at a scale of 8 miles to the inch . This plan necessitated what became known as the Wheeler Survey , along with the Clarence King and John Wesley Powell Surveys , and expeditions by Ferdinand Vandeveer Hayden . In 1879 , all such efforts were reorganized as the United States Geological Survey .

Their identical appearance initially creates rivalry , and they pull pranks on each other , which leads to the camp dance being crashed by their mischief . As punishment , they must live together in the isolated `` Serendipity '' cabin ( and eat together at an `` isolation table '' ) for the remainder of their time at summer camp . After finding out that they both come from single parent homes , they soon realize they are twin sisters and that their parents , Mitch ( Brian Keith ) and Maggie ( Maureen O'Hara ) , divorced shortly after their birth , with each parent having custody of one of them . The twins , each eager to meet the parent she never knew , switch places . They drill each other on the other 's behavior and lives , and Susan cuts Sharon 's hair into the same style as hers . While Susan is in Boston , Massachusetts masquerading as Sharon , Sharon goes to Carmel , California pretending to be Susan . Sharon telephones Susan in Boston with news that their father is planning to remarry , and that their mother needs to be rushed to California to stop the wedding . In Boston , Susan reveals to her mother the truth about the switched identities and the two fly to California . In California , the twins ( with mild approval from their mother ) scheme to sabotage their father 's marriage plans . Mitch 's money - hungry - and much younger - fiancée Vicky Robinson ( Joanna Barnes ) receives rude , mischievous treatment from the girls and some veiled cattiness from Maggie . One evening , the girls recreate their parents ' first date at an Italian restaurant with a gypsy violinist . The former spouses are gradually drawn together , though they quickly begin bickering over minor things and Vicky . To delay Maggie 's return to Boston with Sharon , the twins dress and talk alike so their parents are unable to tell them apart . They will reveal who is who only after returning from the annual family camping trip . Mitch and Maggie reluctantly agree , but when Vicky discovers and consequently objects to the plan of them spending alone time together in the woods , Maggie tricks her into taking her place instead ( knowing full well that she 's not made for ' the great outdoors ' , which might very well prove her undoing ) . The girls effect the coup de grâce ; Vicky spends her time swatting mosquitoes ( being tricked by the girls to use sugared water instead of mosquito repellent ) and being awakened in terror by two bear cubs licking honey off her feet which the twins had previously placed there . Exasperated , Vicky finally has a shouting tantrum destroying everything in her path and culminating in angrily slapping one of the girls , leaving Mitch with a whole new - found view of her . When she runs off to escape back to the city in a great huff , Mitch seems none too worried to be rid of her . When Mitch and the girls return from the trip , Maggie greets them with a sumptuous home - cooked meal , and Mitch is immediately reminded and recaptured by her charms . They are soon reminiscing about their past and Mitch admits that he 's missed her dearly which leads to them embracing with a kiss . They admit to each other that neither want nor need grow old alone , which is slowly creeping up on them ; they have no more time to lose . With this they rekindle their love , and the two remarry in the final scene , with the twins , members of the wedding party , elated their plan worked out exactly as they 'd hoped . Cast ( edit ) Hayley Mills as Sharon McKendrick / Susan Evers Brian Keith as Mitch Evers Maureen O'Hara as Maggie McKendrick Joanna Barnes as Vicky Robinson Charlie Ruggles as Charles McKendrick Cathleen Nesbitt as Louise McKendrick Una Merkel as Verbena Leo G. Carroll as Reverend Dr. Mosby Linda Watkins as Edna Robinson Ruth McDevitt as Miss Abbey Inch Crahan Denton as Hecky Nancy Kulp as Miss Grunecker Susan Henning as Susan / Sharon double Production notes ( edit ) The film originally called for only a few trick photography shots of Hayley Mills in scenes with herself ; the bulk of the film was to be shot using a body double . The film used Disney 's proprietary sodium vapor process for compositing rather than the usual chroma key technique . When Walt Disney saw how seamless the processed shots were , he ordered the script reconfigured to include more of the special effect . Disney also wanted Mills to appear on camera as much as possible , knowing that she was having growth spurts during filming . The film was shot mostly at various locales in California . The summer camp scenes were filmed at Bluff Lake Camp ( then owned by the Pasadena YMCA , now by Habonim Dror 's Camp Gilboa ) and the family camping scenes later in the movie at Cedar Lake Camp , both in the San Bernardino Mountains near the city of Big Bear Lake in Southern California . The Monterey scenes were filmed in various California locations , including millionaire Stuyvesant Fish 's 5,200 acres ( 21 km ) ranch in Carmel and Monterey 's Pebble Beach golf course . The scenes at the Monterey house were shot at the studio 's Golden Oak Ranch in Placerita Canyon , where Mitch 's ranch was built . It was the design of this set that proved the most popular , and to this day the Walt Disney Archives receives requests for plans of the home 's interior design . In fact , there never was such a house ; the set was simply various rooms built on a sound stage . Camp Inch was based on a real girls ' camp called Camp Crestridge for Girls at the Ridgecrest Baptist Conference Center near Asheville , North Carolina . Musical numbers ( edit ) Richard and Robert Sherman provided the songs , which , besides the title song `` The Parent Trap '' , includes `` For Now , For Always '' , and `` Let 's Get Together '' . `` Let 's Get Together '' ( sung by Annette Funicello ) is heard playing from a record player at the summer camp ; the tune is reprised by the twins when they restage their parents ' first date and that version is sung double - tracked by Hayley Mills . ( Hayley 's own single of the song , credited to `` Hayley Mills and Hayley Mills , '' reached # 8 on the US charts . ) The film 's title song was performed by Tommy Sands and Annette Funicello , who were both on the studio lot shooting Babes in Toyland at the time . Awards and nominations ( edit ) The film was nominated for two Academy Awards : one for Sound by Robert O. Cook , and the other for Film Editing by Philip W. Anderson . The film and its editor , Philip W. Anderson , won the inaugural 1962 Eddie Award of the American Cinema Editors . Subsequent developments ( edit ) Further information : The Parent Trap ( film series ) In 1961 a comic book version of the film was published , adapted and illustrated by Dan Spiegle . The film was theatrically re-released in 1968 and earned $1.8 million in rentals . The Disney Studios produced three television sequels The Parent Trap II ( 1986 ) , Parent Trap III ( 1989 ) and Parent Trap : Hawaiian Honeymoon ( 1989 ) . The original was remade in 1998 starring Lindsay Lohan , Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson . In India , there have been several films inspired by The Parent Trap . In 1965 , a Tamil language version of the story called Kuzhandaiyum Deivamum , starring Kutty Padmini was released . The following year , it was remade into Telugu as Leta Manasulu also starring Kutty Padmini . A Hindi version Do Kaliyaan starring Neetu Singh in the double role was made in 1968 . The 1987 film Pyar Ke Kabil also has a similar storyline , as does the 2001 film Kuch Khatti Kuch Meethi which has Kajol playing the double role of 23 - year - old twins .

Burning of Washington
Burning of Washington - wikipedia Burning of Washington Jump to : navigation , search Burning of Washington Part of the War of 1812 Battle of Bladensburg Following their victory at the Battle of Bladensburg , the British invaded Washington D.C. and burned many U.S. government and military buildings Date August 24 , 1814 Location Washington , D.C. , United States Result British victory Belligerents United Kingdom United States Commanders and leaders Robert Ross George Cockburn James Madison Strength 4,250 7,640 Casualties and losses 1 killed , 3 wounded ( Colonial Marines ) 3 unknown wounded City of Washington attacked by British forces Many government buildings set ablaze Destruction of the 36 - gun frigate USS New York . 44 - gun frigate USS Columbia and 22 - gun sloop USS Argus burnt to avoid capture . Chesapeake campaign Havre de Grace Craney Island St. Michaels Chesapeake Bay Flotilla Bladensburg Washington Alexandria Caulk 's Field North Point Baltimore Farnham Church The Burning of Washington was a British invasion of Washington , D.C. , the capital of the United States , during the War of 1812 . On August 24 , 1814 , after defeating the Americans at the Battle of Bladensburg , a British force led by Major General Robert Ross burned down buildings including the White House ( known as the Presidential Mansion ) , and the Capitol , as well as other facilities of the U.S. government . The attack was in part a retaliation for the recent American destruction of Port Dover in Upper Canada . Throughout the history of the United States , the United Kingdom is the only country to have ever captured Washington , D.C. ; the Burning of Washington also marks the only time since the American Revolutionary War that a foreign power has captured and occupied the United States capital . President James Madison , military officials , and his government fled the city in the wake of the British victory at the Battle of Bladensburg . They eventually found refuge for the night in Brookeville , a small town in Montgomery County , Maryland , which is known today as the `` United States Capital for a Day '' . President Madison spent the night in the house of Caleb Bentley , a Quaker who lived and worked in Brookeville . Bentley 's house , known today as the Madison House , still stands in Brookeville . Less than a day after the attack began , a sudden , very heavy thunderstorm -- possibly a hurricane -- put out the fires . It also spun off a tornado that passed through the center of the capital , setting down on Constitution Avenue and lifting two cannons before dropping them several yards away , killing British troops and American civilians alike . Following the storm , the British returned to their ships , many of which were badly damaged . The occupation of Washington lasted only about 26 hours . After the `` Storm that saved Washington '' , as it soon came to be called , the Americans returned to the city .

Reinforcements were held back from Canada and reliance was instead made on local militias and native allies to bolster the British Army in Canada . However , after the defeat and exile of Napoleon Bonaparte in April 1814 , Britain was able to use its now available troops and ships to prosecute its war with the United States . In addition to reinforcements sent to Canada , the Earl of Bathurst , Secretary of State for War and the Colonies , dispatched an army brigade and additional naval vessels to Bermuda , from where a blockade of the US coast and even the occupation of some coastal islands had been overseen throughout the war . It was decided to use these forces in raids along the Atlantic seaboard to draw American forces away from Canada . The commanders were under strict orders , however , not to carry out operations far inland , or to attempt to hold territory . Early in 1814 , Vice Admiral Sir Alexander Cochrane had been appointed Commander - in - Chief of the Royal Navy 's North America and West Indies Station , controlling naval forces based at the new Bermuda dockyard and the Halifax Naval Yard which were used to blockade US Atlantic ports throughout the war . He planned to carry the war into the United States by attacks in Virginia and against New Orleans . Admiralty House , Mount Wyndham , Bermuda , where the attack was planned Rear Admiral George Cockburn had commanded the squadron in Chesapeake Bay since the previous year . On June 25 he wrote to Cochrane stressing that the defenses there were weak , and he felt that several major cities were vulnerable to attack . Cochrane suggested attacking Baltimore , Washington and Philadelphia . On July 17 , Cockburn recommended Washington as the target , because of the comparative ease of attacking the national capital and `` the greater political effect likely to result '' . General Ross commanded a 4,500 - man army , composed of the 4th ( King 's Own ) Light , 21st Royal North British Fusiliers , 44th ( East Essex ) Regiment of Foot , and 85th Regiment of Foot . An added motive was retaliation for what Britain saw as the `` wanton destruction of private property along the north shores of Lake Erie '' by American forces under Col. John Campbell in May 1814 , the most notable being the Raid on Port Dover . On June 2 , 1814 , Sir George Prévost , Governor General of The Canadas , wrote to Cochrane at Admiralty House , in Bailey 's Bay , Bermuda , calling for a retaliation against the American destruction of private property in violation of the laws of war . Prévost argued that , ... in consequence of the late disgraceful conduct of the American troops in the wanton destruction of private property on the north shores of Lake Erie , in order that if the war with the United States continues you may , should you judge it advisable , assist in inflicting that measure of retaliation which shall deter the enemy from a repetition of similar outrages . On July 18 , Cochrane ordered Cockburn to `` deter the enemy from a repetition of similar outrages ... You are hereby required and directed to destroy and lay waste such towns and districts as you may find assailable '' . Cochrane instructed , `` You will spare merely the lives of the unarmed inhabitants of the United States '' . Ross and Cockburn surveyed the torching of the President 's Mansion , during which time a great storm arose unexpectedly out of the southeast . They were confronted a number of times while on horseback by older women from around Washington City and elderly clergymen ( Southern Presbyterian and Southern Baptist ) , with women and children who had been hiding in homes and churches . They requested protection from abuse and robbery by enlisted personnel from the British Expeditionary Forces whom they accused of having tried to ransack private homes and other buildings . Major - General Ross had two British soldiers put in chains for violation of his general order . Throughout the events of that day , a severe storm blew into the city , worsening on the night of August 24 , 1814 . Events ( edit ) Burning of Washington August 1814 President James Madison , members of his government , and the military fled the city in the wake of the British victory at the Battle of Bladensburg . They eventually found refuge for the night in Brookeville , a small town in Montgomery County , Maryland , which is known today as the United States Capital for a Day . President Madison spent the night in the house of Caleb Bentley , a Quaker who lived and worked in Brookeville . Bentley 's house , known today as the Madison House , still stands in Brookeville . The sappers and miners of the Corps of Royal Engineers under Captain Blanshard were employed in burning the principal buildings . Blanshard reported that it seemed that the American President was so sure that the attacking force would be made prisoners that a handsome entertainment had been prepared . Blanshard and his sappers enjoyed the feast . U.S. Capitol ( edit ) The United States Capitol after the burning of Washington , D.C. in the War of 1812 . Watercolor and ink depiction from 1814 , restored . The Capitol was , according to some contemporary travelers , the only building in Washington `` worthy to be noticed . '' Thus , it was a prime target for the British invaders , both for its aesthetic and symbolic value . Upon arrival into the city via Maryland Avenue , the British targeted the Capitol ( first the southern wing , containing the House of Representatives , then the northern wing , containing the Senate ) . Prior to setting it aflame , the British looted the building ( which at that time housed Congress , the Library of Congress , and the Supreme Court ) . Items looted by British General Sir George Cockburn included `` An account of the receipts and expenditures of the United States for the year 1810 . '' The British intended to burn the building to the ground . They set fire to the southern wing first . The flames grew so quickly that the British were prevented from collecting enough wood to burn the stone walls completely . However , the Library of Congress 's contents in the northern wing contributed to the flames on that side . Among the destruction was the 3,000 - volume collection of the Library of Congress and the intricate decorations of the neoclassical columns , pediments , and sculptures originally designed by William Thornton in 1793 and Benjamin Latrobe in 1803 . The wooden ceilings and floors burned , and the glass skylights melted because of the intense heat . But , the building was not a complete loss . The House rotunda , the east lobby , the staircases , and Latrobe 's famous Corn - Cob Columns in the Senate entrance hall all survived . The Superintendent of the Public Buildings of the City of Washington , Thomas Munroe , concluded that the loss to the Capitol amounted to $787,163.28 , with $457,388.36 for the North wing and main building , and $329,774.92 for the South wing . White House ( edit ) The White House ruins after the conflagration of August 24 , 1814 . Watercolor by George Munger , displayed at the White House After burning the Capitol , the British turned northwest up Pennsylvania Avenue toward the White House . After US government officials and President Madison fled the city , the First Lady Dolley Madison received a letter from her husband , urging her to be prepared to leave Washington at a moment 's notice . Dolley organized the slaves and staff to save valuables from the British . James Madison 's personal slave , the fifteen - year - old boy Paul Jennings , was an eyewitness . After later buying his freedom from the widow Dolley Madison , Jennings published his memoir in 1865 , considered the first from the White House : It has often been stated in print , that when Mrs. Madison escaped from the White House , she cut out from the frame the large portrait of Washington ( now in one of the parlors there ) , and carried it off . She had no time for doing it . It would have required a ladder to get it down . All she carried off was the silver in her reticule , as the British were thought to be but a few squares off , and were expected any moment . Jennings said the people who saved the painting and removed the objects actually were : John Susé ( Jean Pierre Sioussat ) ( a Frenchman , then door - keeper , and still living ) and Magraw ( McGraw ) , the President 's gardener , took it down and sent it off on a wagon , with some large silver urns and such other valuables as could be hastily got hold of . When the British did arrive , they ate up the very dinner , and drank the wines , &c. , that I had prepared for the President 's party . The soldiers burned the president 's house , and fuel was added to the fires that night to ensure they would continue burning into the next day . In 2009 , President Barack Obama held a ceremony at the White House to honor Jennings as a representative of his contributions to saving the Gilbert Stuart painting and other valuables . ( The painting that was saved was a copy Stuart made of the painting , not the original , although it is the same one on display in the East Room . ) `` A dozen descendants of Jennings came to Washington , to visit the White House . They looked at the painting their relative helped save . '' In an interview with National Public Radio , Jennings ' great - great - grandson Hugh Alexander said , `` We were able to take a family portrait in front of the painting , which was for me one of the high points . '' He confirmed that Jennings later purchased his freedom from the widowed Dolley Madison . Other Washington properties ( edit ) The burning of Washington forms the background to this portrait of Rear Admiral George Cockburn . At background right is the burning of the US Treasury Building and the Capitol Building The day after the destruction of the White House , Rear Admiral Cockburn entered the building of the D.C. newspaper , the National Intelligencer , intending to burn it down . However , several women persuaded him not to because they were afraid the fire would spread to their neighboring houses . Cockburn wanted to destroy the newspaper because its reporters had written so negatively about him , branding him `` The Ruffian . '' Instead , he ordered his troops to tear the building down brick by brick , and ordered all the `` C '' type destroyed `` so that the rascals can have no further means of abusing my name . '' The US Treasury Building ( built 1804 ) The Blodget Hotel which housed the US Patent Office ; spared during the burning of Washington in 1814 . The Patent Office later burned in 1836 The Washington Navy Yard in 1862 The British sought out the United States Treasury in hopes of finding money or items of worth , but they found only old records . They burned the United States Treasury and other public buildings . The United States Department of War building was also burned . However , the War and State Department files had been removed , so all books and records had been saved ; the only records of the War Department lost were recommendations of appointments for the Army and letters received from seven years earlier . The First U.S. Patent Office Building was saved by the efforts of William Thornton , the former Architect of the Capitol and then the Superintendent of Patents , who gained British cooperation to preserve it . `` When the smoke cleared from the dreadful attack , the Patent Office was the only Government building ... left untouched '' in Washington . The Americans had already burned much of the historic Washington Navy Yard , founded by Thomas Jefferson , to prevent capture of stores and ammunition , as well as the 44 - gun frigate USS Columbia and the 22 gun USS Argus both new vessels nearing completion . The Navy Yard 's Latrobe Gate , Quarters A , and Quarters B were the only buildings to escape destruction . Also spared were the Marine Barracks and Commandant 's House , although several private properties were damaged or destroyed . In the afternoon of August 25 , General Ross sent two hundred men to secure a fort on Greenleaf 's Point . The fort , later known as Fort McNair , had already been destroyed by the Americans , but 150 barrels of gunpowder remained . While the British were trying to destroy it by dropping the barrels into a well , the powder ignited . As many as thirty men were killed in the explosion , and many others were maimed . `` The storm that saved Washington '' ( edit ) Less than a day after the attack began , a sudden very heavy thunderstorm -- possibly a hurricane -- put out the fires . It also spun off a tornado that passed through the center of the capital , setting down on Constitution Avenue and lifting two cannons before dropping them several yards away and killing British troops and American civilians alike . Following the storm , the British troops returned to their ships , many of which were badly damaged . There is some debate regarding the effect of this storm on the occupation . While some assert that the storm forced their retreat , it seems likely from their destructive and arsonous actions before the storm , and their written orders from Cochrane to `` destroy and lay waste '' , that their intention was merely to raze the city , rather than occupy it for an extended period . Whatever the case , the British occupation of Washington lasted only about 26 hours . Despite this , the `` Storm that saved Washington '' as it became known , did the opposite according to some . The rains sizzled and cracked the already charred walls of the White House and ripped away at structures the British had no plans to destroy ( such as the Patent Office ) . The storm may have exacerbated an already dire situation for Washington DC . An encounter was noted between Sir George Cockburn 10th Baronet and a female resident of Washington . `` Dear God ! Is this the weather to which you are accustomed to in this infernal country ? '' enquired the Admiral . `` This is a special interposition of Providence to drive our enemies from our city , '' the woman allegedly called out to Cockburn . `` Not so , Madam , '' Cockburn retorted . `` It is rather to aid your enemies in the destruction of your city '' , before riding off on horseback . Yet , the British left right after the storm completely unopposed by any American military forces . The Royal Navy reported that it lost one man killed and six wounded in the attack , of whom the fatality and three of the wounded were from the Corps of Colonial Marines . The destruction of the Capitol , including the Senate House and the House of Representatives , the Arsenal , Dockyard , Treasury , War Office , President 's mansion , bridge over the Potomac , a frigate and a sloop together with all Materiel was estimated at £ 365,000 . A separate British force captured Alexandria , on the south side of the Potomac River , while Ross ' troops were leaving Washington . The mayor of Alexandria made a deal and the British refrained from burning the town . President Madison returned to Washington by September 1 , on which date he issued a proclamation calling on citizens to defend the District of Columbia . Congress returned and assembled in special session on September 19 . Due to the destruction of the Capitol and other public buildings , they initially met in the Post and Patent Office building . In 2013 , an episode of the Weather Channel documentary series `` Weather That Changed History , '' entitled `` The Thunderstorm That Saved D.C. , '' was devoted to these events . Aftermath ( edit ) Most contemporary American observers , including newspapers representing anti-war Federalists , condemned the destruction of the public buildings as needless vandalism . Many of the British public were shocked by the burning of the Capitol and other buildings at Washington ; such actions were denounced by most leaders of continental Europe , where capital cities had been repeatedly occupied in the course of the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars and always spared destruction ( at least on the part of the occupiers - the famous burning of Moscow that occurred less than two years prior had been an act carried out by the defenders ) . According to The Annual Register , the burning had `` brought a heavy censure on the British character , '' with some members of Parliament , including the anti-establishment MP Samuel Whitbread , joining in the criticism . The majority of British opinion believed that the burnings were justified following the damage that United States forces had done with its incursions into Canada . In addition , they noted that the United States had been the aggressor , declaring war and initiating it . Several commentators regarded the damages as just revenge for the American destruction of the Parliament buildings and other public buildings in York , the provincial capital of Upper Canada , early in 1813 . Sir George Prévost wrote that `` as a just retribution , the proud capital at Washington has experienced a similar fate . '' The Reverend John Strachan , who as Rector of York had witnessed the American acts there , wrote to Thomas Jefferson that the damage to Washington `` was a small retaliation after redress had been refused for burnings and depredations , not only of public but private property , committed by them in Canada . '' When they ultimately returned to Bermuda , the British forces took two pairs of portraits of King George III and his wife , Queen Charlotte , which had been discovered in one of the public buildings . One pair currently hangs in the House of Assembly of the Parliament of Bermuda , and the other in the Cabinet Building , both in the city of Hamilton . Reconstruction ( edit ) The Old Brick Capitol serving as a prison during the Civil War Although the President and military officers returned to Washington only a few days after the British left , Congress did not return for three and half weeks . The Thirteenth Congress officially convened on September 19 , 1814 at the Blodgett 's Hotel , one of the few surviving buildings large enough to hold all members . The Blodgett 's Hotel also housed the U.S. Patent Office . Although the British had destroyed all public buildings , the Blodgett 's Hotel and U.S. Patent Office was spared . It was in this building that Congress met between September 1814 and December 1815 ( when construction of the Old Brick Capitol was complete ) . There was a movement in Congress to relocate the capital after the burning . Congressmen from the North pushed for relocation to Philadelphia or other prominent Union cities , while Southern congressmen claimed that moving the capital would degrade the American sense of dignity and strength ( however many southern congressmen simply did not want to move the capital north of the Mason - Dixon line ) . On September 21 , 1814 , the House of Representatives voted to strike down a proposal to relocate the capital from Washington , D.C. by a margin of 83 to 54 . On February 3 , 1815 , in an effort to guarantee that the federal government would always remain in the area , Washington property owners funded the building of the Old Brick Capitol , a larger meeting space where the Supreme Court now stands . Construction of the Old Brick Capitol cost $25,000 and was funded primarily through the sale of stocks . The largest donor was Daniel Carroll of Duddington , a rich English property owner in the area . Construction began on July 4 , 1814 and concluded in December 1815 . Congress met in the Old Brick Capitol between December 1815 and December 1819 , when the Capitol reopened . The Capitol reconstruction took much longer than anticipated . The Old Brick Capitol took only five months to complete ; the Capitol took twelve years . A committee appointed by Congress to investigate the damage to the District concluded that it was cheaper to rebuild the already existing and damaged buildings than to build an entirely new one . On February 13 , 1815 , President Madison and Congress passed legislation to borrow $500,000 to repair the public buildings , including the Capitol , `` on their present sites in the city of Washington '' . Benjamin Latrobe , architect of the Capitol who took over for William Thornton in 1803 , was rehired to repair the building on April 18 , 1815 . He immediately requested 60,000 feet of boards , 500 tons of stone , 1,000 barrels of lime , and brick . With the $500,000 borrowed from Washington banks , Latrobe was able to rebuild the two wings and the central dome before being fired in 1818 for being difficult . Charles Bulfinch took over and officially completed the renovations by 1826 . Bulfinch modified Latrobe 's design by increasing the height of the Capitol dome to match the diameter of 86ft . With the reconstruction of the public buildings in Washington , the value of land in the area increased dramatically , paving the way for the expansion of the city that developed in the years leading up to the American Civil War .

who was president when the british burned down the white house during the war of 1812
[ "President James Madison, military officials, and his government fled the city in the wake of the British victory at the Battle of Bladensburg. They eventually found refuge for the night in Brookeville, a small town in Montgomery County, Maryland, which is known today as the \"United States Capital for a Day\". President Madison spent the night in the house of Caleb Bentley, a Quaker who lived and worked in Brookeville. Bentley's house, known today as the Madison House, still stands in Brookeville." ]

In some cases , these ecclesiastical honorific titles derive from the pope , but in other cases it is simply a customary or honorary style belonging to a prelate or honorary prelate . These are granted to individuals who have rendered valuable service to the Church , or who provide some special function in Church governance , or who are members of bodies such as certain chapters . The title is never bestowed on those classified as religious in Catholicism . Although in some languages the word is used as a form of address for bishops , which is indeed its primary use in those languages , this is not customary in English . Monsignor is the apocopic form of the Italian monsignore , from the French mon seigneur , meaning `` my lord '' . It is abbreviated Mgr , Msgr , or Mons . `` Monsignor '' is a form of address , not an appointment : properly speaking , one can not be `` made a monsignor '' or be `` the monsignor of a parish '' . The title or form of address is associated with certain papal awards , which Pope Paul VI reduced to three classes : those of Protonotary Apostolic , Honorary Prelate , and Chaplain of His Holiness . Apart from those working in the Roman Curia and the diplomatic service of the Holy See , it is usually on the proposal of the local bishop that the Pope grants this title to Catholic diocesan clergy . The grant is subject to criteria of the Holy See that include a minimum age . Soon after his election in March 2013 , Pope Francis suspended the granting of the honorific title of Monsignor except to members of the Holy See 's diplomatic service . In December of the same year he communicated his definitive decision to accept no further requests from bishops for appointments to any class but that of Chaplain of His Holiness , the lowest of the three classes , and that candidates presented must be at least 65 years old . He himself , during his 15 years as archbishop of Buenos Aires , never asked that any of his priests receive the title , and he was understood to associate it with clerical `` careerism '' . Grants already made were not revoked . Appointments to all three classes of awards continue to be granted to officials of the Roman Curia and the diplomatic service of the Holy See , and there was no revocation of privileges granted to certain bodies such as chapters of canons whereby all their members or some of them have the rank of Protonotary Apostolic , Honorary Prelate or Chaplain of His Holiness . Also unaffected is the association of the style with the office of vicar general , an appointment made by the bishop of the diocese , not by the Pope . Without necessarily being a protonotary apostolic , a diocesan priest has that titular rank as long as he remains in office . Contents ( hide ) 1 Title and forms of address 2 Classes of monsignori 3 Ecclesiastical dress 4 Other monsignori 5 See also 6 Notes 7 References 8 Bibliography Title and forms of address ( edit ) Although in some languages , `` Monsignore '' , `` Monseigneur '' , `` Monsenyor '' , `` Monseñor '' , and the like are normal forms of address for all higher prelates of the Catholic Church below the rank of cardinal or patriarch , including bishops and archbishops , in English bishops are not usually addressed as `` Monsignor '' , a title reserved in English for diocesan priests who have received certain specific honorary awards or who hold certain offices . The written form of address for such a priest is Monsignor ( first name ) ( last name ) or The Reverend Monsignor ( first name ) ( last name ) . The spoken form of address is Monsignor ( last name ) . Before the simplification of ecclesiastical titles in 1969 , those of the lowest class were addressed in English as The Very Reverend Monsignor ( in Latin , Reverendissimus Dominus ; in Italian , Reverendissimo Monsignore ) and those belonging to the higher classes were addressed as The Right Reverend Monsignor ( in Latin , Illustrissimus et Reverendissimus Dominus ; in Italian , Illustrissimo e Reverendissimo Monsignore ) . The 1969 Instruction of the Secretariat of State indicated that the title of `` Monsignor '' may be used for bishops . This is normal practice in Italian , French , Catalan , and Spanish , but not in English . The same instruction indicated that , in the case of bishops , `` Reverendissimus '' ( usually translated in this case as `` Most Reverend '' , rather than `` Very Reverend '' ) , may be added to the word `` Monsignor '' , as also in the case of prelates without episcopal rank who head offices of the Roman Curia , judges of the Rota , the Promotor General of Justice and the Defender of the Bond of the Apostolic Signatura , the Protonotaries Apostolic `` de numero '' , and the four Clerics of the Camera . The ( in meaning identical ) predicate `` His Lordship '' or `` Your Lordship '' is , in English , used as a clerical title only for bishops . Classes of monsignori ( edit ) Until 1968 there were at least 14 different grades , including domestic prelates , four kinds of protonotaries apostolic , four kinds of papal chamberlains , and at least five types of papal chaplains . Pope Paul VI in his motu proprio Pontificalis Domus of 28 March 1968 reduced the grades to three . Since then , protonotaries apostolic have been classified either de numero or supernumerary . Most of the former classes of chamberlains and chaplains were abolished , leaving only a single class of `` Chaplains of His Holiness '' , a specifically priestly - sounding category . The three ranks established by Pope Paul VI are , in descending order of precedence : Protonotary Apostolic , of which two types were retained : de numero ( the higher and less common form , customarily only seven ) supernumerary ( the highest grade of monsignor found outside Rome ) Honorary Prelate of His Holiness ( formerly `` Domestic Prelate '' ) Chaplain of His Holiness ( formerly `` Supernumerary Privy Chamberlain '' ) Before 1968 the appointment of a Privy Chamberlain expired at the death of the Pope who granted it . This no longer holds . Those listed in the index of the Annuario Pontificio as Chaplains of His Holiness continue to be listed in the edition that follow the death of the Pope , as after the deaths of Popes Paul VI and John Paul I in 1978 and after that of Pope John Paul II in 2005 . In 2014 , Pope Francis abolished the practice of granting priests the title of `` monsignor '' , no longer accepting such requests from bishops . However , existing members of all three ranks established by Pope Paul VI retain their membership . Higher ranks are still attained by virtue of membership of certain chapters of canons or because of being a vicar general , and new appointments continue to be made for officials of the Roman Curia and the diplomatic service of the Holy See . Generic coat of arms of a protonotary apostolic : amaranth galero with 12 scarlet tassels Generic coat of arms of an honorary prelate : amaranth galero with 12 violet tassels Generic coat of arms of a Chaplain of His Holiness : black galero with 12 violet tassels Ecclesiastical dress ( edit ) The 1969 Instruction of the Secretariat of State also simplified the dress of monsignori . Chaplains of His Holiness use a purple - trimmed black cassock with purple sash for all occasions . Honorary Prelates use a red - trimmed black cassock with purple sash for all occasions . The red is the same shade as that used by bishops . They may use a purple cassock as their choir dress for liturgical events of special solemnity . Supernumerary Protonotaries Apostolic dress the same as Honorary Prelates . As an additional privilege , they have the option of also using a purple ferraiuolo , a silk cape worn with the red - trimmed black cassock for non-liturgical events of special solemnity ( for instance , graduations and commencements ) . Protonotaries Apostolic de numero ( and other superior prelates of the offices of the Roman curia who are not bishops and who , as indicated above , may be addressed as Most Reverend Monsignor ) have the same dress as other Protonotaries Apostolic , but wear the mantelletta in choir and a black biretta with a red tuft . They are thus called prelati di mantelletta ( prelates of the mantelletta ) because of this distinctive item of dress . Other monsignori ( edit ) Under legislation of Pope Pius X , vicars general and vicars capitular ( the latter are now called diocesan administrators ) are titular ( not actual ) Protonotaries durante munere , i.e. as long as they hold those offices , and so are entitled to be addressed as Monsignor . The only privileges of dress that Pope Pius X granted them were a black silk fringed sash ( fascia ) , black piping on the biretta with a black tuft , and a black mantelletta . As a result of this they were in some countries referred to as `` black protonotaries '' . However , Pontificalis domus of Paul VI removed this position ( titular protonotaries ) from the Papal Household , even though the title of `` monsignor '' , which is to be distinguished from a prelatial rank , has not been withdrawn from vicars general , as can be seen , for instance , from the placing of the abbreviated title `` Mons . '' before the name of every member of the secular ( diocesan ) clergy listed as a vicar general in the Annuario Pontificio . ( Honorary titles such as that of `` Monsignor '' are not considered appropriate for religious . ) Under Paul VI , the Secretariat of State set minimum qualifications of age and priesthood for the appointment of Chaplains of His Holiness ( 35 years of age and 10 of priesthood ) , Honorary Prelates ( 45 of age and 15 of priesthood ) and Protonotaries Apostolic Supernumerary ( 55 of age and 20 of priesthood ) . However , it waived the minimum age limit for vicars general proposed for appointment as Honorary Prelates , in view of the fact that , as long as they hold the office of vicar general , they also held the still higher rank of Protonotary Apostolic Supernumerary . For the same reason , the Secretariat of State did not consider it appropriate that someone who was already a vicar general be appointed only a Chaplain of His Holiness . All these criteria have been superseded by the 2013 decision of Pope Francis to grant only the title of Chaplain of His Holiness and to require even for this a minimum age of 65 years .

what is a monsignor in the roman catholic church
[ "Monsignor (/mɒnˈsiːnjər/) is an honorific form of address for those members of the clergy of the Catholic Church including bishops, honorary prelates and canons. In some cases, these ecclesiastical honorific titles derive from the pope, but in other cases it is simply a customary or honorary style belonging to a prelate or honorary prelate. These are granted to individuals who have rendered valuable service to the Church, or who provide some special function in Church governance, or who are members of bodies such as certain chapters. The title is never bestowed on those classified as religious in Catholicism. Although in some languages the word is used as a form of address for bishops, which is indeed its primary use in those languages, this is not customary in English.[1] Monsignor is the apocopic form of the Italian monsignore, from the French mon seigneur, meaning \"my lord\". It is abbreviated Mgr,[2][3][4][5] Msgr,[a] or Mons.[b]" ]

The original inhabitants of the land were the Mi'kmaq , the Maliseet , and the Passamaquoddy peoples . Being relatively close to Europe , New Brunswick was among the first places in North America to be explored and settled , starting with the French in the early 1600s , who eventually colonized most of the Maritimes and some of Maine as the colony of Acadia . The area was caught up in the global conflict between the British and French empires , and in 1755 became part of Nova Scotia , to be partitioned off in 1784 following an influx of refugees from the American Revolutionary War . In 1785 , Saint John became the first incorporated city in Canada . The same year , the University of New Brunswick became one of the first universities in North America . The province prospered in the early 1800s due to logging , shipbuilding , and related activities . The population grew rapidly in part due to waves of Irish immigration to Saint John and Miramichi regions , reaching about a quarter of a million by mid-century . In 1867 New Brunswick was one of four founding provinces of Canada , along with Nova Scotia , Quebec , and Ontario . After confederation , wooden shipbuilding and lumbering declined , while protectionist policy disrupted traditional economic patterns with New England . The mid-1900s found New Brunswick to be one of the poorest regions of Canada , but that has been mitigated somewhat by federal transfer payments and improved support for rural areas . As of 2002 , provincial gross domestic product was derived as follows : services ( about half being government services & public administration ) 43 % ; construction , manufacturing , and utilities 24 % ; real estate rental 12 % ; wholesale & retail 11 % ; agriculture , forestry , fishing , hunting , mining , oil and gas extraction 5 % ; transportation & warehousing 5 % . According to the Constitution of Canada New Brunswick is the only bilingual province . About two thirds of the population declare themselves anglophones and a third francophones . One third of the overall population describe themselves as bilingual . Atypically for Canada , only about half of the population lives in urban areas , mostly in the capital Fredericton , Greater Moncton , and Greater Saint John . Unlike the other Maritime provinces , New Brunswick 's terrain is mostly forested uplands , with much of the land further from the coast , giving it a harsher climate . New Brunswick is 83 % forested , and less densely - populated than the rest of the Maritimes . Tourism accounts for about 9 % of the labour force directly or indirectly . Popular destinations include Fundy National Park and the Hopewell Rocks , Kouchibouguac National Park , and Roosevelt Campobello International Park . In 2013 , 64 cruise ships called at Port of Saint John carrying on average 2600 passengers each .

At the time of European contact , inhabitants were the Mi'kmaq , the Maliseet , and the Passamaquoddy . Although these tribes did not leave a written record , their language is present in many placenames , such as Aroostook , Bouctouche , Petitcodiac , Quispamsis , and Shediac . New Brunswick may have been part of Vinland , the area explored by Vikings , and the Bay of Fundy may have been visited in the early 1500s by Basque , Breton , and Norman fishermen . French colony ( edit ) Acadia in 1757 The first documented European visits were by Jacques Cartier in 1534 . A party led by Pierre du Gua de Monts and Samuel de Champlain visited the mouth of the Saint John River on the eponymous Saint - Jean - Baptiste Day in 1604 . Now Saint John , this was later the site of the first permanent European settlement in New Brunswick . French settlement extended up the river to the site of present - day Fredericton . Other settlements in the southeast extended from Beaubassin , near the present - day border with Nova Scotia , and extending to Baie Verte , and up the Petitcodiac , Memramcook , and Shepody Rivers . By the early 1700s the area that is now New Brunswick was part of the French colony of Acadia , which was in turn part of New France . Acadia comprised most of what is now the Maritimes , as well as parts of Québec and Maine . The peace and prosperity of the colony was ended by rivalry between Britain and France for control of territory in Europe and North America starting in the early 1700s . With the 1713 Treaty of Utrecht , the part of Acadia today known as peninsular Nova Scotia became another British colony on the eastern seaboard . Île Saint - Jean ( Prince Edward Island ) and Île Royale ( Cape Breton Island ) remained French . The ownership of New Brunswick was disputed , with an informal border on the Isthmus of Chignecto . To defend the area , the French built Fort Nashwaak , Fort Boishebert , Fort Menagoueche in Bay of Fundy , and in the southeast Fort Gaspareaux and Fort Beauséjour . The latter was captured by British and New England troops in 1755 , followed soon after by the Expulsion of the Acadians . British colony ( edit ) The Coming of the Loyalists , painting by Henry Sandham , showing a romanticised view of the Loyalists ' arrival in New Brunswick Present - day New Brunswick became part of the colony of Nova Scotia . Hostilities ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1763 , and Acadians returning from exile discovered several thousand immigrants , mostly from New England , on their former lands . Some settled around Memramcook and along the Saint John River . Settlement was initially slow . Pennsylvanian immigrants founded Moncton in 1766 . An American settlement also developed at Saint John , and English settlers from Yorkshire arrived in the Sackville area . After the American Revolution , about 10,000 loyalist refugees settled along the north shore of the Bay of Fundy , commemorated in the province 's motto , Spem reduxit ( `` hope restored '' ) . In 1784 New Brunswick was partitioned from Nova Scotia , and that year saw its first elected assembly . The colony was named New Brunswick in honour of George III , King of Great Britain , King of Ireland , and prince - elector of the Electorate of Brunswick - Lüneburg in what is now Germany . In 1785 Saint John became Canada 's first incorporated city . Although New Brunswick has limited arable land , the 1800s saw an age of prosperity based on wood export and shipbuilding , bolstered by The Canadian -- American Reciprocity Treaty of 1854 and demand from the American Civil War . St. Martins became the third most productive shipbuilding town in the Maritimes , producing over 500 vessels . The first half of the 1800s saw large - scale immigration from Ireland and Scotland , with the population reaching 252,047 by 1861 . In 1848 , responsible home government was granted and the 1850s saw the emergence of political parties largely organised along religious and ethnic lines . Confederation ( edit ) The first of the British North America Acts , 1867 The notion of unifying the separate colonies of British North America was discussed increasingly in the 1860s . Many felt that the American Civil war was the result of weak central government , and wished to avoid such violence and chaos . The 1864 Charlottetown Conference had been intended to discuss a Maritime Union , but concerns over possible conquest by the Americans coupled with a belief that Britain was unwilling to defend its colonies against American attack led to a request from the Province of Canada ( now Ontario and Quebec ) to expand the scope of the meeting . In 1866 the US cancelled the Canadian -- American Reciprocity Treaty leading to loss of trade with New England and prompting a desire to build trade within British North America , while Fenian raids increased support for union . On 1 July 1867 New Brunswick entered the Canadian Confederation along with Nova Scotia , Quebec and Ontario . Modern New Brunswick ( edit ) Confederation brought into existence the Intercolonial Railway in 1872 , a consolidation of the existing Nova Scotia Railway , European and North American Railway , and Grand Trunk Railway . In 1879 John A. Macdonald 's Conservatives enacted the National Policy which called for high tariffs and opposed free trade , disrupting the trading relationship between the Maritimes and New England . The economic situation was worsened by the decline of the wooden ship building industry . The railways and tariffs did foster the growth of new industries in the province such as textile manufacturing , iron mills , and sugar refineries , many of which eventually failed to compete with better capitalized industry in central Canada . In 1937 New Brunswick had the highest infant mortality and illiteracy rates in Canada . At the end of the Great Depression the New Brunswick standard of living was much below the Canadian average . In 1940 the Rowell -- Sirois Commission reported that federal government attempts to manage the depression illustrated grave flaws in the Canadian constitution . While the federal government had most of the revenue gathering powers , the provinces had many expenditure responsibilities such as healthcare , education , and welfare , which were becoming increasingly expensive . The Commission recommended the creation of equalization payments , implemented in 1957 . The Acadians in northern New Brunswick had long been geographically and linguistically isolated from the more numerous English speakers to the south . The population of French origin grew dramatically after Confederation , from about 16 per cent in 1871 to 34 per cent in 1931 . Government services were often not available in French , and the infrastructure in Francophone areas was less developed than elsewhere . In 1960 Premier Louis Robichaud embarked on the New Brunswick Equal Opportunity program , in which education , rural road maintenance , and healthcare fell under the sole jurisdiction of a provincial government that insisted on equal coverage throughout the province , rather than the former county - based system . The flag of New Brunswick , based on the coat of arms , was adopted in 1965 . The conventional heraldic representations of a lion and a ship represent colonial ties with Europe , and the importance of shipping at the time the coat of arms was assigned . Geography ( edit ) Topography of the province Main article : Geography of New Brunswick Roughly square , New Brunswick is bordered on the north by Quebec , on the east by the Atlantic Ocean , on the south by the Bay of Fundy , and on the west by the US state of Maine . The southeast corner of the province is connected to Nova Scotia at the isthmus of Chignecto . Glaciation has left much of New Brunswick 's uplands with only shallow , acidic soils which have discouraged settlement , but are home to enormous forests . Topography ( edit ) New Brunswick is within the Appalachian Mountains and is divided into : The Chaleur Uplands , extending from Maine to the north of the province and drained by the Saint John and Restigouche rivers . The Notre Dame Mountains in the northwest corner , where elevation varies from 150 to 610m , there are many small lakes and steep slopes . The New Brunswick Highlands , which includes the Caledonia , St. Croix , and Miramichi Highlands . The Lowlands in the central and eastern parts . This low - lying area is mostly under 100m above sea level , and altitudes rarely exceed 180m . All of the rivers of New Brunswick drain either into the Gulf of Saint Lawrence to the east , or into the Bay of Fundy to the south . These watersheds include lands in Quebec and Maine . During the glacial period New Brunswick was covered by thick layers of ice . It cut U-shaped valleys in the Saint John and Nepisiguit River valleys , and pushed granite boulders from the Mirimachi highlands south and east , leaving them as erratics when the ice receded at the end of the Wisconsin glaciation , along with deposits such as the eskers between Woodstock and St George , today sources of sand and gravel . Flora & fauna ( edit ) Canada lynx Most of New Brunswick is forested , nearly all tertiary or secondary forest . Some boreal forest exists in the uplands of the extreme of the province , and in the central highlands . This area is characterized by spruce and fir . Most of the forest is Acadian forest . Hillsides are dominated by hardwoods like yellow birch , beech , and sugar maple , while moister soils are dominated by red spruce and other conifers . Red spruce and tamarack are often subjected to outbreaks of spruce budworm , and over 3,600,000 hectares were sprayed at least once between 1952 and 1967 . Forest ecosystems support large carnivores such as the bobcat , Canada lynx , and black bear , and the large herbivores moose and white - tailed deer . Fiddlehead greens are harvested from the Ostrich fern which grows on riverbanks . Furbish 's lousewort a perennial herb endemic to the shores of the upper Saint John River , is an endangered species threatened by habitat destruction , riverside development , forestry , littering and recreational use of the riverbank . Many wetlands are being disrupted by the highly invasive Introduced species purple loosestrife . Climate ( edit ) New Brunswick 's climate is more severe than that of the other Maritime provinces , which are lower and have more shoreline along the moderating sea . New Brunswick has a humid continental climate , with slightly milder winters on the Gulf of St. Lawrence coastline . Elevated parts of the far north of the province have a subarctic climate . Fredericton 1981 -- 2010 ( edit ) Below is data for Fredericton from 1981 to 2010 . The climate if similar across the province , although places near the coast are slightly cooler in July ( Saint John 's maximum 22 to Fredericton 's 25 ) and milder in January ( Saint John 's minimum − 2 to Fredericton 's − 4 ) . On average Fredericton gets 130 frost free days from 18 May to 24 September .

Today the sea level is about 30 cm higher than it was 100 years ago , and is expected to rise twice that much again by the year 2100 . Geology ( edit ) Bay of Fundy rock formations Bedrock types range from 1 billion to 200 million years old . Much of the bedrock in the west and north derives from ocean deposits in the Ordovician , which were then subject to folding and igneous intrusion , and were eventually covered with lava during the Paleozoic , peaking during the Acadian orogeny . During the Carboniferous era , about 340 million years ago , New Brunswick was in the Maritimes Basin , a sedimentary basin near the equator . Sediments , brought by rivers from surrounding highlands , accumulated there and after being compressed , producing the Albert oil shales of southern New Brunswick . Eventually sea water from the Panthalassic Ocean invaded the basin , forming the Windsor Sea . Once this receded , conglomerates , sandstones , and shales accumulated . The rust colour of these was caused by the oxidation of iron in the beds between wet and dry periods . Such late carboniferous rock formed the Hopewell Rocks , which have been shaped by the extreme tidal range of the Bay of Fundy . In the early Triassic , as Pangea drifted north it was rent apart , forming the rift valley that is the Bay of Fundy . Magma pushed up through the cracks , forming basalt columns on Grand Manan . People ( edit ) Main article : Demographics of New Brunswick New Brunswick is the eighth-most populous province in Canada with 751,171 residents as of the Canada 2011 Census . The urban - rural split has been , since 1951 , roughly even , whereas previously the province had been largely rural . Since 1971 , the year in which the overall Canadian rural population fell below 25 % , the province has been an outlier in this statistical category , along with the other Atlantic provinces . New Brunswick 's 107 municipalities cover 7000860000000000000 ♠ 8.6 % of the province 's land mass but are home to 7001653000000000000 ♠ 65.3 % of its population . The three major urban areas are in the south of the province and are : Greater Saint John , population 122,389 . One of the busiest shipping ports in Canada in terms of gross tonnage . It is the home of Canada 's biggest oil refinery , a liquefied natural gas terminal , Moosehead , Canada 's oldest independent brewery , and the headquarters of Irving Oil . Greater Moncton , population 126,424 . Moncton 's economy is based on the transportation , distribution , retail and commercial sectors , with strengths in banking , insurance , healthcare and education . The Université de Moncton is the provincial francophone university . Greater Fredericton ( the provincial capital ) population 85,688 . The economy of Fredericton is tied to the governmental , military , and university sectors . Ethnicity & language ( edit ) Bilingual highway sign at entrance to New Brunswick Acadians celebrating the Tintamarre and National Acadian Day in Caraquet , New Brunswick In the 2001 census , the most commonly reported ethnicities were French Canadian or Acadian 31 % , British Isles 60 % , other European 7 % , First Nations 3 % , Asian Canadian 2 % . There is also a significant Irish population in coastal areas such as Miramichi and Saint John where 33.6 % of the Saint John residents reported in the census as being . Each person could choose more than one ethnicity . According to the Canadian Constitution , both English and French are the official languages of New Brunswick , making it the only officially bilingual province . Anglophone New Brunswickers make up roughly two - thirds of the population , with about one - third being Francophone . Recently there has been growth in the numbers of people reporting themselves as bilingual , with 34 % reporting that they speak both English and French . This reflects a trend across Canada . Religion ( edit ) In the 2011 census , 15 per cent of New Brunswickers declared themselves unaffiliated with any religion , while 84 per cent reported themselves as Christian , of which 52 % were Roman Catholic , 8 % Baptist , 8 % United Church of Canada , and 7 % Anglican . Economy ( edit ) As of October 2017 seasonally - adjusted employment is 73,400 for the goods - producing sector , and 280,900 for the services - producing sector . Those in the goods producing industries are mostly employed in manufacturing or construction , while those in services work in social assistance , trades , and health care . The US is the province 's largest export market , accounting for 92 % of a foreign trade valued in 2014 at almost $13 billion , with refined petroleum making up 63 % of that , followed by seafood products , pulp , paper and sawmill products and non-metallic minerals ( chiefly potash ) . Agriculture ( edit ) More than 13,000 New Brunswickers work in agriculture , shipping products worth over $1 billion , half of which is from crops , and half of that from potatoes , mostly in the Saint John River valley . McCain Foods is one of the world 's largest manufacturers of frozen potato products . Other products include apples , cranberries , and maple syrup . New Brunswick was in 2015 the biggest producer of wild blueberries in Canada . The value of the livestock sector is about a quarter of a billion dollars , nearly half of which is dairy . Other sectors include poultry , fur , and goats , sheep , and pigs . Fisheries ( edit ) The value of exports , mostly to the United States , was $1.6 billion in 2016 . About half of that came from lobster . Other products include salmon , crab , and herring . Forestry ( edit ) About 83 % of New Brunswick is forested . Historically important , it accounted for more than 80 % of exports in the mid 1800s . By the end of the 1800s the industry , and shipbuilding , were declining due to external economic factors . The 1920s saw the development of a pulp and paper industry . In the mid-1960s , forestry practices changed from the controlled harvests of a commodity to the cultivation of the forests . The industry employs nearly 12,000 , generating revenues around $437 million . Mining ( edit ) Mining was historically unimportant in the province , but since the 1950s has grown and in 2012 was an estimated $1.1 billion . Mines in New Brunswick produce lead , zinc , copper , and potash . Tourism ( edit ) In 2015 , spending on non-resident tourism in New Brunswick was $441 million , which provided $87 million in tax revenue . Infrastructure ( edit ) See also : List of airports in New Brunswick Confederation Bridge connecting NB to PEI The Department of Transportation and Infrastructure maintains government facilities and the province 's highway network and ferries . The Trans - Canada Highway is not under federal jurisdiction , and traverses the province from Edmundston following the Saint John River Valley , through Fredericton , Moncton , and on to Nova Scotia and PEI . Rail ( edit ) Via Rail 's Ocean service , which connects Montreal to Halifax , is currently the oldest continuously operated passenger route North America , with stops from west to east at Campbellton , Charlo , Jacquet River , Petit Rocher , Bathurst , Miramichi , Rogersville , Moncton , and Sackville . Canadian National Railway operates freight services along the same route , as well as a subdivision from Moncton to Sain John . The New Brunswick Southern Railway , a division of J.D. Irving Limited , together with its sister company Eastern Maine Railway form a continuous 305 km ( 190 mi ) main line connecting Saint John and Brownville Junction , Maine . Energy ( edit ) Energy Capacity by source in NB Fossil Fuel ( 54.7 % ) Hydro ( 22.0 % ) Nuclear ( 15.4 % ) Other Renewables ( 7.9 % ) Publicly - owned NB Power operates 13 of New Brunswick 's generating stations , deriving power from fuel oil and diesel ( 1497 MW ) , hydro ( 889 MW ) , nuclear ( 660 MW ) , and coal ( 467 MW ) . There were 30 active natural gas production sites in 2012 . Government ( edit ) NB Legislative Building , seat of New Brunswick Government since 1882 Under Canadian federalism , power is divided between federal and provincial governments . Among areas under federal jurisdiction are citizenship , foreign affairs , national defence , fisheries , criminal law , Indian policies , and many others . Provincial jurisdiction covers public lands , health , education , and local government , among other things . Jurisdiction is shared for immigration , pensions , agriculture , and welfare . The parliamentary system of government is modelled on the British Westminster system . Forty - nine representatives , nearly always members of political parties , are elected to the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick . The head of government is the Premier of New Brunswick , normally the leader of the party or coalition with the most seats in the legislative assembly . Governance is handled by the executive council ( cabinet ) , with about 32 ministries . Ceremonial duties of the Monarchy in New Brunswick are mostly carried out by the Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick . Under amendments to the province 's Legislative Assembly Act in 2007 , a provincial election is held every four years . The two main political parties are the New Brunswick Liberal Association and the Progressive Conservative Party of New Brunswick . Judiciary ( edit ) The Court of Appeal of New Brunswick is the highest provincial court . It hears appeals from : The Court of Queen 's Bench of New Brunswick : has jurisdiction over family law and major criminal and civil cases , and is divided accordingly into two divisions : Family and Trial . It also hears administrative tribunals . The Probate Court of New Brunswick : has jurisdiction over estates of deceased persons . The Provincial Court of New Brunswick : nearly all cases involving the criminal code start here . The system consists of eight Judicial Districts , loosely based on the counties . The Chief Justice of New Brunswick serves at the apex of this court structure . Administrative divisions ( edit ) Administrative areas of New Brunswick : Local service district Rural community Municipality Indian reserve Ninety - two per cent of the land in the province , inhabited by about 35 % of the population , is under provincial administration and has no local , elected representation . The 51 % of the province that is Crown land is administered by the Department of Energy and Resource Development . Most of the province is administrated as a local service district ( LSD ) , an unincorporated unit of local governance . As of 2017 there are 237 LSDs . Services , paid for by property taxes , include a variety of services such as fire protection , solid waste management , street lighting , and dog regulation . LSDs may elect advisory committees and work with the Department of Local Government to recommend how to spend locally collected taxes . In 2006 there were three rural communities . This is a relatively new entity , and to be created requires a population of 3,000 and a tax base of $200 million . In 2006 there were 101 municipalities . Regional Service Commissions , which number 12 , were introduced in 2013 to regulate regional planning and solid waste disposal , and provide a forum for discussion on a regional level of police and emergency services , climate change adaptation planning , and regional sport , recreational and cultural facilities . The commissions ' administrative councils are populated by the mayors of each municipality or rural community within a region . Historically the province was divided into counties with elected governance , but this was abolished in 1966 . These were subdivided into 152 parishes which also lost their political significance in 1966 , but are still used as census subdivisions by Statistics Canada . Provincial finances ( edit ) New Brunswick has the most poorly - performing economy of any Canadian province , with a per capita income of $28,000 . The government has historically run at a large deficit . With about half of the population being rural , it is expensive for the government to provide education and health services , which account for 60 per cent of government expenditure . Thirty - six per cent of the provincial budget is covered by federal cash transfers . The government has frequently attempted to create employment through subsidies , which has often failed to generate long - term economic prosperity and resulted in bad debt , examples of which include Bricklin , Atcon , and the Marriott call centre in Fredericton . According to a 2014 study by the Atlantic Institute for Market Studies the large public debt is a very serious problem . Government revenues are shrinking because of a decline in federal transfer payments . Though expenditures are down ( through government pension reform and a reduction in the number of public employees ) , they have increased relative to GDP , necessitating further measures to reduce debt in the future . In the 2014 -- 15 fiscal year , provincial debt reached $12.2 billion or 37.7 per cent of nominal GDP , an increase over the $10.1 billion recorded in 2011 -- 12 . The debt - to - GDP ratio is projected to reach 41.9 % in 2017 -- 2018 , compared to a ratio of 25 % in 2007 -- 2008 . Culture ( edit ) Education ( edit ) Main article : Education in New Brunswick Sir Howard Douglas Hall on the University of New Brunswick Fredericton campus , currently the oldest university building still in use in Canada Public education in the province is administered by the NB Department of Education . New Brunswick has a parallel system of Anglophone and Francophone public schools . There are also secular and religious private schools in the province , such as the Moncton Flight College . The New Brunswick Community College system has campuses in all regions of the province . The two comprehensive provincial universities are the University of New Brunswick ( Fredericton and Saint John ) and the Université de Moncton ( Moncton , Shippegan and Edmundston ) . These have extensive postgraduate programs and Law schools . Medical education programs have also been established at both the Université de Moncton and at UNBSJ in Saint John ( affiliated with Université de Sherbrooke and Dalhousie University respectively ) . Other public funded universities include Mount Allison University in Sackville and Saint Thomas University in Fredericton . Mount Allison University is a highly regarded undergraduate university with over 50 Rhodes Scholars to its credit . There are several private universities in the province as well , the largest being Crandall University in Moncton . Literature ( edit ) Charles G.D. Roberts Julia Catherine Beckwith born in Fredericton , was Canada 's first published novelist . Charles G.D. Roberts was one of the first Canadians to achieve international fame .

The program came into its own under John A. Hammond , from 1893 to 1916 . Alex Colville and Lawren Harris later studied and taught art there and both Christopher Pratt and Mary Pratt were trained at Mount Allison . The University 's art gallery -- which opened in 1895 and is named for its patron , John Owens of Saint John -- is Canada 's oldest .

where did the name new brunswick come from
[ "After the American Revolution, about 10,000 loyalist refugees settled along the north shore of the Bay of Fundy,[11] commemorated in the province's motto, Spem reduxit (\"hope restored\"). In 1784 New Brunswick was partitioned from Nova Scotia, and that year saw its first elected assembly.[12] The colony was named New Brunswick in honour of George III, King of Great Britain, King of Ireland, and prince-elector of the Electorate of Brunswick-Lüneburg in what is now Germany.[13] In 1785 Saint John became Canada's first incorporated city.[14]" ]

History of organizational changes in the NHL
History of organizational changes in the NHL - wikipedia History of organizational changes in the NHL Since being founded in 1917 , the National Hockey League ( NHL ) , which in its first two seasons started out as a three - team league and eventually grew to thirty - one in its current state , has expanded and contracted numerous times throughout its history . The following is a complete history of organizational changes in the NHL . Contents 1 Early years 1.1 Four / three teams ( 1917 -- 19 ) 1.2 Four teams ( 1919 -- 24 ) 1.3 Six teams ( 1924 -- 25 ) 1.4 Seven teams ( 1925 -- 26 ) 1.5 Ten teams ( 1926 -- 31 ) 1.6 Eight teams ( 1931 -- 32 ) 1.7 Nine teams ( 1932 -- 35 ) 1.8 Eight teams ( 1935 -- 38 ) 1.9 Seven teams ( 1938 -- 42 ) 2 Original Six ( 1942 -- 67 ) 3 Expansion years ( 1967 -- 91 ) 3.1 Twelve teams ( 1967 -- 70 ) 3.2 Fourteen teams ( 1970 -- 72 ) 3.3 Sixteen teams ( 1972 -- 74 ) 3.4 Eighteen teams ( 1974 -- 78 ) 3.5 Seventeen teams ( 1978 -- 79 ) 3.6 Twenty - one teams ( 1979 -- 91 ) 4 Further expansion 4.1 Twenty - two teams ( 1991 -- 92 ) 4.2 Twenty - four teams ( 1992 -- 93 ) 4.3 Twenty - six teams ( 1993 -- 98 ) 4.4 Twenty - seven teams ( 1998 -- 99 ) 4.5 Twenty - eight teams ( 1999 -- 2000 ) 4.6 Thirty teams ( 2000 -- 2017 ) 4.7 Thirty - one teams ( 2017 -- present ) 5 Expansion and dispersal drafts 6 Possible expansion 7 References Early years ( edit ) Further information : History of the National Hockey League ( 1917 -- 1942 ) Four / three teams ( 1917 -- 19 ) ( edit ) The four teams that began the inaugural NHL season were the Montreal Canadiens , the Montreal Wanderers , the original Ottawa Senators , and the Toronto Arenas . However , after completing four games out of the scheduled 22 , the Wanderers withdrew from the league due to their arena burning down , and the NHL continued this season and the next with only three teams . Four teams ( 1919 -- 24 ) ( edit ) In its third season , 1919 -- 20 , the NHL underwent its first expansion , adding the Quebec Bulldogs . Toronto changed its name to Toronto St. Patricks . The next season , however , Quebec relocated to Hamilton , becoming the Hamilton Tigers . These same four teams continued playing for four seasons , up to 1923 -- 24 . Six teams ( 1924 -- 25 ) ( edit ) Two new teams joined the NHL in its eighth season , the Boston Bruins , and the Montreal Maroons . Seven teams ( 1925 -- 26 ) ( edit ) The next season , the NHL added two new teams , the Pittsburgh Pirates and the New York Americans . The Americans were stocked by purchasing the contracts of the Hamilton Tigers players , and the Tigers franchise was subsequently revoked by the league . Ten teams ( 1926 -- 31 ) ( edit ) The NHL continued to expand the following season , adding the Chicago Black Hawks , the Detroit Cougars , and the New York Rangers , growing to ten teams , thus more than doubling its size in its first decade of existence . During the 1926 -- 27 season , Toronto was renamed the Toronto Maple Leafs , taking effect next season . For the 1930 -- 31 season , the Pirates moved from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia , becoming the Philadelphia Quakers , and Detroit was renamed the Detroit Falcons . Eight teams ( 1931 -- 32 ) ( edit ) After fourteen seasons of steady expansion , the NHL contracted to eight teams , dropping the Philadelphia Quakers and the original Ottawa Senators for the 1931 -- 32 season . Nine teams ( 1932 -- 35 ) ( edit ) For the 1932 -- 33 season , after missing one season , the original Ottawa Senators rejoined the NHL , and the Detroit Falcons were renamed the Detroit Red Wings . Two seasons later , for the 1934 -- 35 season , the Ottawa Senators relocated , becoming the St. Louis Eagles . Eight teams ( 1935 -- 38 ) ( edit ) The Eagles folded after one season , and the NHL was once again an eight - team league for three seasons . Seven teams ( 1938 -- 42 ) ( edit ) The Montreal Maroons withdrew from the league for the 1938 -- 39 season , further reducing the number of teams in the NHL to seven , shrinking to the size the league was in 1925 -- 26 . Play continued for four seasons with seven teams , with the New York Americans changing their name to the Brooklyn Americans for the 1941 -- 42 season , their last . Original Six ( 1942 -- 67 ) ( edit ) Further information : History of the National Hockey League ( 1942 -- 1967 ) and Original Six The 1942 -- 43 season saw the folding of the Brooklyn Americans , thus ushering in the Original Six era of the NHL , which lasted without any organizational changes for twenty - five seasons . Expansion years ( 1967 -- 91 ) ( edit ) Further information : History of the National Hockey League ( 1967 -- 1992 ) and 1967 NHL expansion Twelve teams ( 1967 -- 70 ) ( edit ) The 1967 expansion doubled the number of teams in the league , with an upfront expansion fee of $2 million each ( $14.7 million today ) . For the 1967 -- 68 season , six new teams were added to the NHL : the California Seals , the Los Angeles Kings , the Minnesota North Stars , the Philadelphia Flyers , the Pittsburgh Penguins , and the St. Louis Blues . During their first season , the California Seals were renamed the Oakland Seals . Fourteen teams ( 1970 -- 72 ) ( edit ) The Oakland Seals were renamed the Bay Area Seals for two games before changing their name again to the California Golden Seals for their fourth season in 1970 -- 71 . The same season the NHL added two new teams , the Buffalo Sabres and the Vancouver Canucks , paying an expansion fee of $6 million each ( $37.8 million today ) . Sixteen teams ( 1972 -- 74 ) ( edit ) Two more teams joined for the 1972 -- 73 NHL season , the New York Islanders and the Atlanta Flames . With the competing World Hockey Association ( WHA ) starting that same season , the NHL was not able to raise its expansion fee from the price of two years earlier , $6 million ( $35.1 million today ) , with the Islanders paying an additional $5 million ( $29.3 million today ) to the New York Rangers for infringing on their territory . Eighteen teams ( 1974 -- 78 ) ( edit ) Two more teams joined for the 1974 -- 75 NHL season , the Washington Capitals and the Kansas City Scouts , but the ongoing competition from the WHA meant that the overall revenue stream of the NHL had not improved , so the league kept the expansion fee for new owners at the $6 million ( $29.8 million today ) of two years and four years earlier . The earnings situation for the new franchises was so poor that ( at least ) the Capitals were able to negotiate a reduction to a total fee of $2.85 million ( $14.1 million today ) . Going into the 1977 -- 78 NHL season , the California Golden Seals relocated and became the Cleveland Barons , and the Kansas City Scouts moved as well , becoming the Colorado Rockies . Seventeen teams ( 1978 -- 79 ) ( edit ) For the first time since the 1942 -- 43 season the NHL contracted , merging the Cleveland Barons into the Minnesota North Stars . Twenty - one teams ( 1979 -- 91 ) ( edit ) Following seven seasons of revenue draining competition , the NHL -- WHA merger was completed for the start of the 1979 -- 80 NHL season . Four teams came over from the WHA , paying an expansion fee of $7.5 million each ( $25.3 million today ) . These new NHL teams were the Edmonton Oilers , the Hartford Whalers , the Quebec Nordiques , and the ( original ) Winnipeg Jets . This also doubled the number of Canadian teams in the league . The following season , Atlanta relocated and became the Calgary Flames . In turn , for the 1982 -- 83 season , the Colorado Rockies moved , becoming the New Jersey Devils . Chicago changed the spelling of their name from the Black Hawks to the Blackhawks for the 1986 -- 87 season , based on its original franchise documents . Standing at 21 teams for twelve seasons , this was one of the longer stable periods of NHL history , though surpassed by the twenty - five seasons of the Original Six period , when no additions , moves nor name changes occurred . Further expansion ( edit ) Further information : History of the National Hockey League ( 1992 -- present ) Twenty - two teams ( 1991 -- 92 ) ( edit ) The 1991 -- 92 season saw the dawn of rapid expansion and relocation in the NHL , which lasted for the next ten years , starting with the addition of the San Jose Sharks , paying an expansion fee of $45 million ( $80.9 million today ) . Twenty - four teams ( 1992 -- 93 ) ( edit ) Two new teams joined the league the following season , the Ottawa Senators and the Tampa Bay Lightning , paying an expansion fee of $45 million each ( $78.5 million today ) . Twenty - Six teams ( 1993 -- 98 ) ( edit ) The next season , another two teams were added , the Florida Panthers and the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim , paying an expansion fee of $50 million each ( $84.7 million today ) , with Anaheim paying an additional $25 million ( $42.4 million today ) to the Los Angeles Kings for infringing on their region . The Minnesota North Stars relocated , becoming the Dallas Stars . Two seasons later , for the 1995 -- 96 season , the Quebec Nordiques relocated and became the Colorado Avalanche . The following season , the Winnipeg Jets also moved , becoming the Phoenix Coyotes . The season after that , the Hartford Whalers relocated , becoming the Carolina Hurricanes . Twenty - seven teams ( 1998 -- 99 ) ( edit ) The Nashville Predators joined the league for the 1998 -- 99 season , paying an expansion fee of $80 million ( $120.1 million today ) . Twenty - eight teams ( 1999 -- 2000 ) ( edit ) The following season , another team started play , the Atlanta Thrashers , paying the same expansion fee of $80 million ( $117.5 million today ) as the Predators paid a year earlier . Thirty teams ( 2000 -- 2017 ) ( edit ) For its 2000 -- 01 season , the NHL added the Columbus Blue Jackets and the Minnesota Wild , each paying the same expansion fee of $80 million ( $113.7 million today ) as Nashville and Atlanta paid in the previous two years . The NHL had reached a slate of 30 teams , entering the second longest period ( after the Original Six period ) of membership stability in its history . While it stayed at 30 teams for eighteen seasons , there were some moves and name changes . The Mighty Ducks of Anaheim changed their name to the Anaheim Ducks in the 2006 -- 07 season . The Atlanta Thrashers moved to Winnipeg , Manitoba , becoming the second version of the Winnipeg Jets in the 2011 -- 12 NHL season . The Phoenix Coyotes changed their name to Arizona Coyotes for the 2014 -- 15 NHL season . Thirty - one teams ( 2017 -- present ) ( edit ) On June 22 , 2016 , the Board of Governors voted 30 - 0 to add an expansion franchise in Las Vegas for the 2017 -- 18 season , charging an expansion fee of $500 million ( $509.8 million today ) . An announcement was made the same day by Gary Bettman in Las Vegas .

Since Winnipeg ( the previous frontrunner ) received the Jets in 2011 , Quebec City and Seattle have been the most - discussed potential relocation sites ; other potential markets for relocation that have seen action in recent years include Houston , Saskatoon , Kansas City , and Southern Ontario ( which would be Hamilton , Toronto or Markham , although the league has actively blocked all of the Southern Ontario efforts to date , citing territorial concerns with the Buffalo Sabres and Toronto Maple Leafs ) . On February 13 , 2018 , a Seattle group placed a bid to start play in the 2020 season .

The group goes to the library to do their research, where Riley and Lucas connect by talking about their interests and Maya discovers that she is a talented artist when given just a pencil and paper. When Riley tells Cory about her conversation with Lucas, he desperately tries to keep them apart and attempts to do so by returning their phones, once he realizes it was he who prompted these emotions into Riley.

Making matters worse, Cory agonizes over Maya's quitting school after he gives her an F on a quiz. When both girls tell him there is nothing more he can teach them, Cory feels he has lost them, though Topanga assures him that his intentions are good and he will never give up on those he cares about. He sits Maya down and she reveals that she knew most of the correct answers to the questions on the quiz, and Cory tells her that if she just says what she means instead of acting as if she does not care, she will not fail in his class.

Series creator David Crane wanted all six characters to be equally prominent , and the series was lauded as being `` the first true ' ensemble ' show '' . The cast members made efforts to keep the ensemble format and not allow one member to dominate ; they entered themselves in the same acting categories for awards , opted for collective instead of individual salary negotiations , and asked to appear together on magazine cover photos in the first season . The cast members became best friends off screen , and one guest star , Tom Selleck , reported sometimes feeling left out . The cast remained good friends after the series ' run , notably Cox and Aniston , with Aniston being godmother to Cox and David Arquette 's daughter , Coco . In the official farewell commemorative book Friends ' Til the End , each separately acknowledged in his / her interview that the cast had become his / her family . Salaries ( edit ) In their original contracts for season one , each cast member was paid $22,500 per episode . The cast members received different salaries in the second season , beginning from the $20,000 range to $40,000 per episode . Prior to their salary negotiations for the third season , the cast decided to enter collective negotiations , despite Warner Bros . ' preference for individual deals . The actors were given the salary of the least paid cast member , meaning Aniston and Schwimmer earned less than they could have . The stars were paid , per episode , $75,000 in the third season , $85,000 in the fourth , $100,000 in the fifth , and $125,000 in the sixth season .

She eventually becomes a buyer at Polo Ralph Lauren . A great deal of Rachel 's life throughout the series revolves around her relationship with Ross Geller . At the end of season seven , during Monica 's and Chandler 's wedding , it is revealed that Rachel is pregnant from a one - night stand with Ross . Initially , Rachel is determined to raise the baby on her own , but later she realizes she needs Ross 's help . She decides to move in with Ross , even though the two are not involved in a relationship . Their daughter , Emma , is born during the eighth - season finale . During the tenth season , Rachel is offered a job with Louis Vuitton in Paris . She accepts and prepares to move herself and Emma to France .

Monica Geller ( edit ) Main article : Monica Geller Monica E. Geller - Bing ( Courteney Cox ) is the mother hen of the group , who is known for her obsessive - compulsive and competitive nature .

In the second season , Monica falls for her father Jack 's ( Elliott Gould ) friend , Richard Burke ( Tom Selleck ) . Despite the twenty - one year age difference , Monica and Richard are happy , and her parents accept their relationship . However , as a result of Monica yearning for a family but Richard having already had one , they break up at the end of the second season . Monica then pursues a chain of various men until she unexpectedly begins a relationship with her longtime friend , Chandler Bing , at the end of the fourth season , during her brother Ross ' wedding to Emily Waltham .

In the final season of the series , they adopt two children , whom they name Erica and Jack .

She has an identical twin sister , Ursula ( also played by Kudrow ) , who is just as odd as Phoebe and appeared as a recurring character on Mad About You . After a series of dates and relationships with a number of men , Phoebe meets Mike Hannigan ( Paul Rudd ) in season nine , whom she eventually marries in season ten .

Prior to his role on Friends , LeBlanc appeared as a regular on the short - lived TV 101 , a minor character in the sitcom Married ... with Children , and as a main character in its spin - offs , Top of the Heap and Vinnie & Bobby .

Chandler Bing ( edit ) Main article : Chandler Bing Chandler Muriel Bing ( Matthew Perry ) is an executive in statistical analysis and data reconfiguration for a large multi-national corporation . He later quits his job and becomes a junior copywriter at an advertising agency . Chandler is known for his sarcastic sense of humor . He often mocks his best friend Joey for the latter 's stupidity . Chandler is often depicted as being somewhat of a hapless individual , suffering a lot of bad luck while struggling through life and occasionally struggling with an on - and - off smoking addiction . However , he eventually falls in deep mutual love with Monica and proposes to her at the close of season six , with the two of them marrying at the close of season seven . By the end of series , he and Monica adopt twins , whom they name Jack and Erica . Like Aniston , Perry had already appeared in several unsuccessful sitcom pilots before being cast . He had also starred in the TV series Second Chance and Sidney . Ross Geller ( edit ) Main article : Ross Geller Dr. Ross Eustace Geller , Ph. D. ( David Schwimmer ) is a paleontologist at a museum of prehistory , and later a professor of paleontology at New York University . The most intelligent of the six main characters , but at the same time a clumsy , quirky man , Ross is known for being a smart , know - it - all who prides himself on his rationality , despite his clear hopeless romanticism . He is shown to be the most caring of all the six members in the various instances on the show . Ross is Monica 's older brother , Chandler 's college roommate , and Rachel 's on - again , off - again boyfriend . He has three failed marriages during the series , and his relationship with Rachel is a main storyline throughout the series . He is also the father of his ex-wife Carol 's son , Ben , and Rachel 's daughter , Emma . In the series finale , Ross and Rachel finally reconcile , deciding to be together once and for all . The character of Ross was developed with David Schwimmer in the minds of writers and Schwimmer was also the first actor to be cast on the show . Before being cast in Friends , Schwimmer played minor characters in The Wonder Years and NYPD Blue ; his first regular series role was in the sitcom Monty . Schwimmer is the only cast member native to New York City . Ross Geller was also voted as the best character on Friends in a poll conducted by Comedy Central UK . Characters recurring throughout series ( edit ) Each of the following characters of Friends may or may not be particularly significant to the story of the series ; each was introduced in one season and would usually appear in subsequent seasons . Introduced in Season 1 ( edit ) See also : Friends ( season 1 ) Jack and Judy Geller ( edit ) Elliott Gould portrayed Jack Geller , Ross and Monica 's father , in 20 episodes , spanning from 1994 to 2003 Jack ( Elliott Gould ) and Judy Geller ( Christina Pickles ) : Ross and Monica 's parents . In early appearances , Jack frequently makes inappropriate comments , which he punctuates by exclaiming `` I 'm just saying ... ! '' Judy often makes condescending remarks about Monica 's lack of a love life and sometimes forgets her daughter even exists , while simultaneously favoring Ross . Jack is more balanced in his attention and care towards both Ross and Monica . After the Gellers sell their house in season 7 , it is revealed that Jack has used boxes of Monica 's old stuff to block rainwater from getting to his Porsche . Due to his gnawing guilt , Jack develops a secret smoking habit and decides to gift Monica the Porsche . Despite being favored throughout his entire childhood , this makes Ross insanely jealous . Despite each of them having their own quirks , however , they are both occasionally dumbfounded by the crazy antics of their son and daughter , such as Ross ' disastrous wedding to Emily and Monica 's ridiculous speech at their 35th anniversary party . They are also sometimes bemused by the antics of the other four friends , such as idiotic or crazy comments from Phoebe and / or Joey , a revolting trifle cooked by Rachel which Joey is happy to eat and Chandler entering a coed whirlpool alongside Jack without wearing anything underneath the towel wrapped around his waist . Pickles was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for her appearance in `` The One Where Nana Dies Twice '' in 1995 . The Seattle Times ranked Jack and Judy jointly as the second best guest character of the series in 2004 . Barry Farber ( edit ) Barry Farber ( Mitchell Whitfield ) : Rachel 's jilted fiancé . Barry , an orthodontist , decides to go on his and Rachel 's honeymoon with her maid of honor Mindy , and soon begins a relationship with her . Their relationship hits a rough patch when he and Rachel consider getting back together . He decides to stay with Mindy , and the two are later married . Rachel is invited to the wedding , but receives a cold reception for jilting Barry while she is there , and a ridiculous speech from Ross which bemuses everyone in the room does not exactly improve the situation for her , until she , in a desperate attempt to salvage some pride , walks onto the stage where the microphone is and starts singing . Barry and Mindy are said to have divorced five years later , after she found out he was cheating on her . Barry 's last name is given as `` Finkle '' in the pilot and `` Farber '' in every other appearance except in `` The One with the Flashback '' , where he is referred to as `` Barry Barber '' . He has also been called `` Barry White '' , and is possibly named as an homage to long - time NY talk show host Barry Farber . Barry is portrayed as a horrible , selfish little man who cheats , lies , and belittles other people . Getting both Rachel and Mindy to fall for him also suggests that he is manipulative . Carol Willick and Susan Bunch ( edit ) Carol Willick ( Anita Barone for character 's debut episode , Jane Sibbett thereafter ) and Susan Bunch ( Jessica Hecht ) : Carol is Ross ' lesbian ex-wife , who came out before the pilot , and Susan is her partner . Carol dumped and divorced Ross to be with Susan . In the second episode of the series , Carol tells Ross that she is pregnant with his child , and is having the baby with her partner Susan , though she wishes Ross to be part of the baby 's life . Carol and Susan are often bemused by Ross ' quirks throughout his onscreen appearances with them . Susan does not attempt to hide her contempt of Ross and vice versa , but they briefly put aside their differences when Carol gives birth to a boy , whom they all agree , after weeks of argument , to name Ben . Carol and Susan get married in `` The One with the Lesbian Wedding '' and make irregular appearances until `` The One That Could Have Been '' ( Susan ) , and `` The One with the Truth About London '' ( Carol ) . Though Ross and Carol are on good terms after their divorce , Ross continues to resent Susan for losing Carol to her . Carol and Susan were based on creators Marta Kauffman and David Crane 's best friends in New York : `` We did n't create them for any particular political reason or because of lesbian chic . It was just an opportunity to tell a really interesting story . '' The characters were called a positive example of a gay couple on television by GLAAD . Jessica Hecht originally auditioned to play Monica . Gunther ( edit ) Gunther ( James Michael Tyler ) : The manager of the Central Perk coffee house , who first appears as a background character in `` The One with the Sonogram at the End '' . He is a former actor who once played Bryce on All My Children before that character was `` killed in an avalanche . '' Gunther develops an unrequited crush on Rachel in the third season , which he keeps to himself until `` The Last One '' . Apart from Ross , whom he dislikes , he is on reasonably good terms with the rest of the gang despite occasionally being annoyed by wacky antics or comments from them . His motivation for disliking Ross is jealousy ( as he is aware of Ross ' relationship with Rachel ) , which is made clear numerous times , most notably in `` The One the Morning After '' when he reveals to Rachel that Ross ( who mistakenly thought at the time that his relationship with her was over -- `` We were on a break '' ) got drunk and cheated on her . Gunther appears in nearly every episode , but only occasionally calls attention to himself and almost never has a large role in the plot of an episode . In `` The One With The Stain '' , Gunther is shown to be fluent in Dutch ( although with a strong American accent ) , calling Ross an `` ezel '' as he converses with him . James Michael Tyler was cast as Gunther because he was the only extra who could competently work the cappuccino machine on the Central Perk set . Tyler appears as Gunther in a co-host voice - over in the Friends trivia game for PS2 , PC and Xbox , and in the board game Friends : Scene It ? . The Seattle Times ranked Gunther as the eighth best guest character of the series in 2004 . When asked in 2009 by Heatworld.com what Gunther would be doing `` now '' , Tyler joked , `` He 'd probably have a very traditional marriage , with lots of white - haired babies running around with hair brighter than the sun . '' Aside from the main cast , he appears in the most episodes . Marcel ( edit ) Marcel ( live animal actor ) : A Capuchin monkey that Ross initially keeps as a pet , and who provides comic relief for his geeky master . One time Rachel loses him in the city , and calls Animal Control -- only to learn from Ross that Marcel is an illegal exotic animal that can not be kept in the city . After unsuccessfully trying to prevent animal control officer Luisa ( Megan Cavanagh ) from discovering that they are harboring an illegal exotic animal and bemusing her with their wacky behavior throughout these unsuccessful attempts , Rachel , Monica , Ross and Phoebe learn that Luisa is a former classmate of Rachel 's and Monica 's who upon recognizing Rachel attempts to spite her for snubbing her in high school by attempting to confiscate Marcel . To prevent this , Rachel threatens to tell Luisa 's boss about how she shot Phoebe `` in the ass with a dart '' that had been meant for Marcel . Later , as Marcel sexually matures and begins to hump everything , Ross has to give him away to a zoo -- `` where he can have access to regular monkey - lovin ' . '' Ultimately , Ross finds out that Marcel then got stolen from the zoo and taken into a life of show business , and -- after starring in a liquor commercial -- is starring in a movie in New York , where they are reunited one last time . In a later season Ross questions why he had a monkey as a pet . Janice Goralnik ( edit ) Janice Litman Goralnik ( née Hosenstein ) ( Maggie Wheeler ) : Chandler 's on - again , off - again girlfriend for the first four seasons . Janice is one of the few characters besides the six main friends who appears in all of the Friends seasons . She has a nasal voice and a thick New York accent that sounds so irritating that it makes Chandler want to break up with her , but at the same time he does not want to hurt the nonetheless good - natured Janice 's feelings , and while making a hand gesture in the midst of an attempt to break up with her without upsetting her , he accidentally pokes her in the eye in `` The One with the East German Laundry Detergent '' and although Phoebe is eventually able to explain to Janice on his behalf that he wants to end their relationship and get her to agree to break up with him without upsetting her in the process , he gets back together with her for New Year 's and for Valentine 's . When Chandler , in the wake of Mr. Heckles ' death , resolves not to die alone , he is disappointed to discover that she is married and pregnant . In `` The One with Barry and Mindy 's Wedding '' , Chandler arranges a meeting with a mystery woman over the Internet , who turns out to be Janice . Their relationship lasts into the third season , when Janice decides to leave her husband to be with Chandler . Later , Joey sees Janice kissing her husband , who runs a mattress business . Chandler dumps her in `` The One with the Giant Poking Device '' . When Janice returns to his life , Chandler , who eventually comes to find her insufferable due to the irritating sound of her voice , pretends to be moving to Yemen to get away from her . In a later episode , the tables are turned on the annoying natured Janice when she has a brief fling with Ross shortly after he has broken up with Emily , as he is unhappy and spends the entire date complaining about everything , causing her to find him insufferable and leave him ( Ross had expected the reverse to eventually happen , but had been happy to date someone who listened so well to him in the meantime ) . She also makes a cameo on a `` discovered '' mix tape that Chandler plays for Monica , not knowing Janice 's voice is on it . When Chandler and Monica become engaged , she tries to interfere with their wedding plans -- leaving only when Monica states that Chandler still has feelings for Janice , which is not true . When Ross and Rachel await the birth of their daughter Emma , she is placed in the same labor room as Rachel at the hospital ; she later gives birth to a son , Aaron , who she jokes will be Emma 's future husband . As Monica and Chandler make plans to have children , she offers Chandler advice and support at a fertility clinic . In `` The One Where Estelle Dies '' , she comes close to buying a house next door to the one Monica and Chandler want to buy . To get rid of her , Chandler pretends he still loves her , causing her to ( as he had hoped ) become fearful that he will end up ruining his marriage and she will end up ruining her own ( as she still loves Chandler as well ) if she lives next door to him , so she decides not to buy the house after all and walks out of Chandler 's life seemingly for good , but does kiss him one last time before she does , much to his surprise . Presumably due to being amused by their wacky , quirky , goofy personalities , Janice seems to enjoy spending time with the six friends , which is somewhat ironic and very much inconvenient for them since none of them can stand to be around her ( although she seems to be completely blind to the fact that they feel this way , showing almost no awareness whatsoever of the fact that they hate having to put up with her ) , due to the unbearably irritating nasal New York accent she speaks with , and her annoying machine gun laugh . She also emphasizes each word of her catchphrase , `` Ohhh -- myyy -- Gawd ! '' , and Chandler sometimes imitates her doing this . Janice 's distinctive laugh was borne out of a slip - up Wheeler made during the rehearsal of `` The One with the East German Laundry Detergent '' ; after Chandler and Janice 's `` More latte ? '' / `` No , I 'm still working on mine '' lines , Wheeler laughed . The Seattle Times ranked Janice as the best guest character of the series in 2004 . Mr. Heckles ( edit ) Mr. Heckles ( Larry Hankin ) : Monica and Rachel 's downstairs neighbor , a domineering , highly unusual elderly man who constantly complains about the noise , even though the six friends are being perfectly decent in volume whenever he claims that they are disturbing him . His reason for this is never revealed , until `` The One Where Mr Heckles Dies '' , in which the group discover that the noises being made in their apartment are apparently amplified in his , and when Chandler hears banging coming from the above room while in Heckles ' apartment ( although it is never revealed exactly what the people upstairs were doing to cause the banging ) it annoys him so much that he inadvertently imitates Heckles by banging on the roof with his broom . He appears in `` The One with Two Parts , Part 1 '' and `` The One Where the Monkey Gets Away '' before dying in `` The One Where Mr. Heckles Dies '' . As a last spiteful act , he leaves all of his junk to `` the noisy girls in the apartment above mine '' . He makes a final cameo appearance in `` The One with the Flashback '' , set in 1993 , where he complains that Phoebe 's noise is disturbing his oboe practice ( even though he does not actually play the oboe ) , and inadvertently ( and cruelly ) causes Joey to be Chandler 's roommate . He usually states that items are his , and when the other person states that he does not have one , Mr. Heckles says that he could have one . For instance , when Rachel and Phoebe are searching for the owner of a lost cat , Mr. Heckles said `` Yes , that 's my cat . '' They told him he did not have a cat , to which he responded `` I could have a cat . '' According to Mr. Treeger , Mr. Heckles died of a heart attack , while ' sweeping ' . His first appearance in the series was in Season 1 , `` The One With the Blackout '' , where he is credited simply `` as the Weird Man '' . Paolo ( edit ) Paolo ( Cosimo Fusco ) : an Italian neighbor in Rachel 's building , who Rachel meets and hooks up with in `` The One with the Blackout '' . They start dating , making Ross jealous . She dumps him after he gropes Phoebe but has a last one - night stand with him in `` The One with Ross 's New Girlfriend '' . In the Italian version of the show , Paolo 's name is changed to Pablo and his nationality is Spanish . Terry ( edit ) Terry ( Max Wright ) : the original manager at Central Perk before Gunther takes the title , who does not hide the fact that he thinks Rachel is a terrible waitress -- and Phoebe is `` so bad '' as a musician . He denies her an advance on her wages in `` The One Where Underdog Gets Away '' and hires a professional musician , Stephanie Schiffer ( played by Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders ) , to replace Phoebe in `` The One with the Baby on the Bus '' . Fun Bobby ( edit ) `` Fun Bobby '' ( Robert ) ( Vincent Ventresca ) : Monica 's alcoholic boyfriend . In his first appearance in `` The One with the Monkey '' , his `` fun '' is sapped at Monica 's New Year 's party after his grandfather died , but his depression does not stop Monica , annoyed that he 's `` bringing her party down '' from putting a party horn in his mouth and forcing him to blow on it , to his bemusement . In `` The One with Russ '' , the gang discovers that alcohol puts the `` fun '' into Fun Bobby . Monica tries to wean him off drinking but regrets it when he becomes extremely boring . Monica then began drinking on their dates , so that she could sit through his mind - numbingly dull stories . It is revealed in the episode `` The One with Phoebe 's Husband '' that the underwear on the telephone pole was Monica 's when she was having sex with Fun Bobby on the terrace . David ( edit ) Hank Azaria played David , Phoebe 's recurring love interest , in 1994 , 2001 and 2003 David , `` the Scientist Guy '' ( Hank Azaria ) : a physicist with whom Phoebe falls in love in `` The One with the Monkey '' , when he receives an academic grant for a three - year research trip to Minsk . After a quarrel with his research partner Max ( Wayne Pére ) , David decides to take the trip , breaking Phoebe 's heart . Seven years later , he returns to New York for a brief visit and shares an evening with Phoebe . Two years later , he returns permanently in `` The One with the Male Nanny '' . He and Phoebe resume their relationship in `` The One with the Donor '' . In `` The One in Barbados -- Part 1 '' , David proposes to Phoebe but is turned down in favor of Mike Hannigan . In 2003 , Azaria was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for his performance . Azaria originally auditioned for the role of Joey . Nora Tyler Bing ( edit ) Nora Tyler Bing ( Morgan Fairchild ) : Chandler 's mother , a best - selling erotic novelist whose works include Euphoria Unbound , Euphoria At Midnight and Mistress Bitch . She first appears in `` The One with Mrs. Bing '' , where she meets the gang while on a book tour in New York . After dinner , she kisses Ross . She makes a cameo appearance in the flashback scenes of `` The One with All the Thanksgivings '' and later appears in `` The One with Monica and Chandler 's Wedding '' ( with Kathleen Turner as Chandler 's dad ) and `` The One After ' I Do ' '' . The Seattle Times ranked Nora and her ex-husband jointly as the fifth best guest characters in 2004 . Ursula Buffay ( edit ) Ursula Pamela Buffay ( Lisa Kudrow ) : Phoebe 's identical twin . Kudrow originated the role of Ursula in the sitcom Mad About You , playing her as an inept waitress at Riff 's who frequently forgets orders . Ursula is every bit as odd as Phoebe is , but , unlike her sister , Ursula is a selfish , amoral , abrasive , brazen and hedonistic individual who is so self - absorbed and self - centered that she often forgets things , usually treats Phoebe with disdain and is not liked by anyone who truly knows her . Phoebe refers to Ursula as her `` evil twin . '' She first appears in Friends in `` The One with Two Parts '' : Chandler and Joey are eating at Riff 's and mistake Ursula for Phoebe . Joey becomes attracted to Ursula and they start dating . Ursula tells Phoebe that she is bored with Joey and sarcastically claims that he is smart enough to figure this out on his own without her having to actually tell him ( implying his stupidity irritated her , hence her naturally nasty reaction ) , so Phoebe pretends to be her sister to let Joey down gently . In the same episode , Helen Hunt and Leila Kenzle cameo as their Mad About You characters Jamie Buchman and Fran Devanow , in a scene where they mistake Phoebe for Ursula in Central Perk . Ursula next appears briefly in `` The One with the Jam '' , where she is being stalked by a man ( David Arquette ) who mistakes Phoebe for her . Phoebe naively begins a relationship with the man in question , but ends it with him when he can not get over his obsession with Ursula . In `` The One with the Jellyfish '' Phoebe tells Ursula that she has met their birth mother ( Teri Garr ) , but Ursula already knows about her . In `` The One Where Chandler Ca n't Cry '' , Phoebe starts getting unwanted attention from men , and discovers that Ursula is starring in pornographic films using Phoebe 's name , including a film called `` Buffay The Vampire Layer '' . Phoebe gets revenge by claiming Ursula 's cheques and embarrassing her many male fans . Flashbacks in `` The One Where They All Turn Thirty '' reveal that Ursula sold Phoebe 's birth certificate to a Swedish runaway , and that both sisters are 31 , not 30 . In `` The One with the Halloween Party '' , Ursula introduces Phoebe to Eric ( Sean Penn ) , her fiancé . Phoebe is horrified that Ursula has told Eric that she is a teacher , a member of the Peace Corps , a non-smoker , and attends a church group ( all lies ) . The series finale of Mad About You , set 22 years into the future , reveals that after a successful porn career , Ursula becomes Governor of New York . Mindy Hunter - Farber ( edit ) Mindy Hunter - Farber ( Jennifer Grey in `` The One with the Evil Orthodontist '' , Jana Marie Hupp in `` The One with Barry and Mindy 's Wedding '' ) : Rachel 's maid of honor at her abortive wedding to Barry . Mindy and Rachel were best friends while growing up and their friendship is tested after Rachel discovers Mindy and Barry are seeing each other . She asks Rachel to be her maid of honor and dress in a garish pink dress . Mindy marries Barry in `` The One with Barry and Mindy 's Wedding '' ; but he later cheats on her and she has divorced him by `` The One That Could Have Been , Part 1 '' . Ben Geller ( edit ) Ben ( Various actors , 1995 -- 1999 ; Cole Sprouse , 2000 -- 2002 ) : Ross and Carol 's son , born during `` The One with the Birth '' . Ben is played as an infant by Michael Gunderson , by brothers Charles Thomas Allen and John Christopher Allen from Season 3 to 5 , and by Cole Sprouse from Season 6 to 8 . Julie ( edit ) Lauren Tom played Julie , one of very few Asian American characters on Friends Julie ( Lauren Tom ) : an old graduate school colleague of Ross ' , whom he meets again while on a trip to China ; she first appears in the final scene of the season 1 finale . They start dating but break up soon after , when Ross reveals he loves Rachel . During the entire time Julie and Ross were dating , Rachel hated the relationship because about a week before Ross came home from China , Rachel discovered that Ross was in love with her . This made Rachel 's feelings for Ross grow at a fast rate , making her jealous of Julie 's relationship with him . After her break - up , she is then shown to meet Russ , a Ross doppelgänger also played by David Schwimmer , and begin a romance . Steve ( edit ) Steve ( Jon Lovitz ) : a restaurant owner and drug addict whom Phoebe knows . In 1995 , Monica tries to impress him in an attempt to get a job at his restaurant , and Phoebe tells him he is welcome to go to her apartment and try her food there , but he gets stoned on the journey there and consequently acts obnoxious . At the end of the episode , Phoebe punishes him by giving him a very painful massage . His drug problem eventually causes him to lose his restaurant , and , in 2003 , Phoebe later fixes Rachel up with him ( and Ross with nobody ) on a blind date , as part of a secret strategy to get Rachel and Ross back together . Ugly Naked Guy ( edit ) Ugly Naked Guy ( Jon Haugen ) : an obese tenant in the apartment in the building across from Monica 's apartment -- who frequently , perhaps invariably , is naked with the drapes open -- so the gang is frequently commenting on his activities -- playing cello , wearing `` gravity boots '' , etc . He is first mentioned in the second episode of the series , but only appears twice : first , his belly and an arm are shown in `` The One with the Giant Poking Device '' -- in which he is being poked from across the street by the gang ( who think he is dead ) with a long device made from chopsticks ; second , a rear view of him from head to waist is shown in `` The One Where Everybody Finds Out '' ( his final show ) -- in which he is moving out of his apartment and Ross tries gets the apartment by ingratiating himself with Ugly Naked Guy by cavorting with him in the nude . ( In `` The One with the Flashback '' , it is learned that he used to be `` Cute Naked Guy '' , but then , in 1993 , started putting on weight . ) For many years , the identity of the actor that played him in his extremely limited appearances was a mystery . It was speculated that Michael G. Hagerty , the actor who played Mr. Treeger , was Ugly Naked Guy . However , Hagerty denied this theory . On May 31 , 2016 , an article was published by Todd Van Luling in The Huffington Post , detailing his search for the identity of Ugly Naked Guy . His article revealed that an actor named Jon Haugen played the role . Introduced in Season 2 ( edit ) See also : Friends ( season 2 ) Mr. Treeger ( edit ) Mr. Treeger ( Michael G. Hagerty ) : the superintendent of Monica 's building . Treeger first appears in `` The One Where Heckles Dies '' , where he shows Heckles 's lawyer where Monica and Rachel live . He next appears in `` The One with Phoebe 's Dad '' , where Monica thinks he is playing hardball by not mending her broken radiator , and Treeger is left bewildered as Ross , Monica and Rachel repeatedly attempt to convince him to have it fixed despite his attempts to explain that he will not be able to replace the knob Ross accidentally broke off because the shop does not open until the following Tuesday . Later , when Joey rebuffs him for putting down Rachel , he threatens to have Monica and Rachel evicted unless Joey helps him practice ballroom dancing to impress a woman ( as Monica is illegally subletting the apartment which actually belongs to her late grandmother , to Treeger 's irritation ) . In `` The One with the Free Porn '' , he cleans the shower drain of Chandler and Joey 's newly - won apartment , and warns them never to turn off their TV after they start receiving free porn . In his final appearance , he has a fireman break down the door to Monica 's apartment after Joey tells him he smelled gas . He was also mentioned in the series finale when Monica said to everyone he need their keys to her and Rachel 's apartment . Estelle Leonard ( edit ) Estelle Leonard ( June Gable ) : Joey 's talent agent . Gable made her first appearance as Estelle in `` The One with the Butt '' , but the scene was cut for timing reasons although it is included in the DVD version of season 1 ( she is still mentioned after Joey 's play in the original episode that aired ) . She makes her first proper appearance in `` The One with Russ '' , when , after Joey tells Estelle he is fed up of poor roles , she gets him a recurring part in Days of Our Lives . She witnesses Marshall Townend read a critical review of a play he had directed which Joey had starred in and along with everyone else in the room is bemused by the quirks of both Joey and Marshall in `` The One with the Screamer '' . Although she is shown to be supportive of Joey 's career over the course of the show , in one episode , however , she appears to undermine his career after getting the impression that Joey had left her as an agent , which he in reality had not . She dies in the last season ; Joey gives a speech at her memorial service , where it is revealed that her only other client is Al Zebooker , a man who eats paper . When Gable auditioned for the role , she played Estelle quite plainly and was encouraged to `` go away and do something with her '' . She returned to the audition room wearing a `` fat suit '' and eating a sandwich from a delicatessen , which she stubbed out a cigarette on . The performance was used in the deleted scene of `` The One with the Butt '' . Her age is never given but Gable believed that she was in her 80s . In 2004 , The Seattle Times ranked Estelle as the sixth best guest character of the series . Gable also plays the nurse who delivers Ben in `` The One with the Birth '' Richard Burke ( edit ) Tom Selleck played Monica 's boyfriend Dr. Richard Burke in several episodes between 1995 and 2000 Dr. Richard Burke ( Tom Selleck ) : an ophthalmologist and best friend of Jack Geller . Richard is introduced in `` The One Where Ross and Rachel ... You Know '' when Monica caters an event at his apartment . He begins to date her despite being 21 years older , infuriating Monica 's parents when they find out . He and Monica break up in `` The One with Barry and Mindy 's Wedding '' when he tells her he does not want more children , his own having already reached adulthood . Despite the two still being in love , they can not reconcile this difference , and are both devastated for months . He makes a brief voice cameo in `` The One Where No One 's Ready '' , and later they briefly attempt to rekindle their romance as `` friends '' before accepting that the reasons they broke up remain valid . In `` The One with the Proposal '' , he proposes to Monica after she leaves Chandler , who 's planning to propose but pretends to be against marriage because he `` wants it to be a surprise '' . Eventually , Chandler comes to his apartment searching for Monica and tells Richard of his own proposal plan . Richard seems to lack sympathy for Chandler at first , responding to Chandler explaining away his plan to make her initially think he was against marriage by stating it had `` worked very well '' but when Chandler angrily tells him he has no right to ruin another man 's relationship with her because he 's already ruined his own , he realizes Chandler is right and tells him , `` You go get her , Chandler . And can I give you a bit of advice ? If you get her , do n't let her go . Trust me '' -- noting that he hates the fact that he is a nice guy when Chandler thanks him . His apartment is put up for sale in Season 9 , in `` The One with Ross 's Inappropriate Song '' , but Richard is not seen . While there , Chandler finds out that Richard made a sex tape with Monica which he steals and watches , but he and Monica later discover that Richard taped over her , relieving Chandler but leaving Monica feeling insulted . All of Selleck 's entrances in Season 2 had to be refilmed after the audience left because `` it was like The Beatles with the screaming and the applause '' . For his appearance in `` The One with the Proposal '' , in 2000 , Selleck , for his final episode , was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series . In 2004 , The Seattle Times ranked Richard as the third best guest character of the series . Sandra Green ( edit ) Marlo Thomas played Sandra Green , Rachel 's mother , who divorced Rachel 's father in Season 2 , and appears in various episodes from then on Sandra Green ( Marlo Thomas ) : Rachel 's overprotective mother . In `` The One with the Lesbian Wedding '' , she announces to Rachel that she never loved Rachel 's father and is divorcing him . ( `` You did n't marry your Barry , honey -- but I married mine . '' ) She later accompanies everyone to Carol and Susan 's wedding . In `` The One with the Two Parties '' , she arrives at Rachel 's birthday party and is unaware for the whole night that her ex-husband is also there , as the six friends successfully prevent them from finding out each other are there by setting up two different parties , bemusing them both with their strange , wacky behavior in the process ; Joey even ends up kissing Sandra to distract her from her ex-husband's departure . In `` The One with the Baby Shower '' , she is invited at the last minute to attend Rachel 's baby shower , where she offers to move in with Ross and Rachel to help with the baby 's first months ; Ross and Rachel first accept , then change their minds . For her appearance in `` The One with the Lesbian Wedding '' , Thomas was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series in 1996 . Frances ( edit ) Frances ( Audra Lindley ) : Phoebe 's grandmother by her mother Lily . Her only appearance is in `` The One with Phoebe 's Dad '' , where she reveals to Phoebe that the person in the pictures she keeps around the house is not Phoebe 's father , which motivates Phoebe to try to track down her real father . Though the character appears in only one episode , she is mentioned in a few more , including in season 5 's `` The One with Joey 's Bag '' , where it is revealed that she has recently died and Phoebe plans her funeral . Phoebe inherits her grandmother 's yellow taxi and apartment . She keeps the taxi until the very end of the series . Frank Buffay Jr ( edit ) Frank Buffay Jr . ( Giovanni Ribisi ) : Phoebe 's half - brother by their father . In `` The One with the Bullies '' , Phoebe meets him after finding the courage to knock on her father 's suburban door , but learns from Frank Jr. 's mother ( played by Laraine Newman ) that her father walked out several years ago . Despite not finding her father , she connects with Frank Jr. who later visits the city where he hits on Jasmine , one of Phoebe 's coworkers , and mistakes her massage parlor for a whorehouse . He eventually falls in love with and becomes engaged to Alice Knight ( Debra Jo Rupp ) , his old home economics teacher who is 26 years his senior . In `` The One With Phoebe 's Uterus '' , Frank and Alice ask Phoebe to be a surrogate mother for their child , and she later gives birth to their triplets , whom she then says goodbye to in an emotional scene in `` The One Hundredth '' . Frank makes a final appearance in `` The One Where Ross is Fine '' , when he and the triplets meet Phoebe at Central Perk . In the episode , he claims he `` has n't slept in four years '' and is so exhausted with raising the triplets he even proposed that Phoebe take one for her own . However , he soon realizes he loves his children too much to give any of them up , after which Phoebe proposes to start babysitting them , so that Frank and Alice can enjoy some more time off . Previously , Ribisi appeared in `` The One with the Baby on the Bus '' as a stranger who leaves a condom rather than money in Phoebe 's guitar case when she is singing in the street , and then comes back to retrieve it . It was never addressed if this was intended to be the same character as Frank , who had not yet been introduced by name . In 2004 , The Seattle Times ranked Frank as the fourth - best guest character of the series . Alice was only scheduled to appear in the one episode but was brought back for a recurring role after the surrogacy storyline -- which was created when actor Lisa Kudrow became pregnant . Leonard Green ( edit ) Leonard `` Lenny '' Green ( Ron Leibman ) : Rachel 's father , a surly , brazen , abrasive and rather amoral vascular surgeon ; although he is genuinely affectionate and usually good - natured towards his daughter , he is generally a nasty , mean - spirited bully who is quick to insult anyone who , even by accident , irritates him in the slightest way . He takes an instant dislike to his daughter 's boyfriend Ross when the latter refers to Green 's profession as `` a game . '' Later , when Ross and Rachel conceive a child ( Emma ) , he becomes furious that they 're not engaged because he does not want his grandchild to be a bastard and ends up going to Ross ' apartment and shouting at him because Rachel ( who is afraid of Leonard 's anger ) lied to him and claimed that Ross refused to ask her to marry him , leading Rachel to eventually clarify the situation for him . He has a heart attack in `` The One Where Joey Speaks French '' and is recovering in the hospital when Ross turns up with Rachel , though he once again is not willing to treat with any kindness or respect . Although Leonard , like his daughter Amy , was a deliberately unpleasant and unlikeable character , the comic relief he provided caused him , again like his daughter Amy , to become memorable as a character fans `` loved to hate . '' Introduced in Season 3 ( edit ) See also : Friends ( season 3 ) Mark Robinson ( edit ) Mark Robinson ( Steven Eckholdt ) : Rachel 's deskmate at Bloomingdale 's , who first appears in `` The One Where Chandler Ca n't Remember Which Sister '' ( airdate January 9 , 1997 ; Season 3 , No. 11 ) . Ross is jealous of Mark as he mistakenly suspects that he and Rachel are having an affair . It is Mark 's presence at Rachel 's apartment after he offered to provide her with comfort after her fight with Ross which leads Ross , overhearing his voice in the background after phoning Rachel and mistakenly thinking he is there to have sex with her , to become convinced that his relationship with her is now over and , after angrily hanging up , get drunk and sleep with Chloe ultimately ending Ross and Rachel 's relationship . Later , Mark asks Rachel on a date and she accepts , however she rejects his advances when she realizes she only accepted the offer to get back at Ross .

In this episode , it is implied that he , his wife , and the rest of Chandler 's co-workers all dislike Joey , whom Chandler claims damaged his reputation in their eyes ( presumably with all his stupidity ) after he invited him to a work office party , damage repaired by Monica when he invited her to a different one .

Chandler and Joey treat the chick and the duck as their own children -- at one point , Chandler punishes the duck by sending him out to the hall ( `` You stay out here and think about what you did !

Monica hires Joey as a stooge so she can show her authority in front of the staff by firing him in front of them all , and the rebellion soon ends .

Rachel accidentally deletes the message , but tells Ross about it and convinces him not to respond to it . Emily 's surname is that of the city where both creators of the show attended college . Patsy Kensit was originally approached to play the role but turned it down . Emily and Ross 's marriage was intended to last much longer in the series , but Helen Baxendale became pregnant prior to Season 5 and was unable to travel for the show ; hence , her limited appearances after Season 4 . Helen Baxendale was asked to reprise the role in Season 10 , but turned it down to star in the West End play After Miss Julie , and because she did not want the same level of tabloid attention she received in 1998 .

He then enters the coffee shop and desperately yells `` Mike ! '' Mike Hannigan replies and is roped into the date , which does not go well as Mike accidentally makes it clear that he does not actually know Joey personally , and Joey tries to recover the situation , consequently upsetting Phoebe and turning off his own blind date Mary - Ellen in the process . Mike feels sorry for Phoebe as he watches her leave and when he spots her again in the coffee shop the next day , he speaks to her and explains that he allowed himself to be roped into the date `` because I was told that I 'd get a free dinner - which I did n't - and that I 'd meet a pretty girl - which I did .

When he turns up , the girls are surprised to see that he is at least 50 years old , but also delusional about his physical appearance , as he clearly has trouble accepting the fact that he has not aged gracefully and is not physically appealing to women anymore . When he sees that Phoebe is not enjoying his performance he gets annoyed , particularly when she claims while cringing that `` this is how ( she ) looks when ( she 's ) turned on . '' They have an argument over whether or not he should be paid for arriving after a rather difficult and rushed journey to the apartment on his part , and when she refuses to allow a sympathetic Rachel and Monica to pay him and also insults him , the sensitive stripper gets upset and cries as he is forced to accept the fact that he is no longer physically attractive , but stripping is all he knows .

Frightening and intimidating people in this manner apparently amuses Tommy , who appears to be in a good mood after screaming at both Ross and the elderly couple . Ross tries to warn Rachel of what a bully Tommy is , but she does not believe him , assuming he 's just making up the stories regarding Tommy 's outbursts of anger in order to split them up so he can have Rachel all to himself ( and considering that Tommy had learned of Ross ' past with Rachel and witnessed how awkward they were around each other to his own bemusement , it is likely that he guessed after witnessing this that she would jump to this conclusion if Ross ever tried to warn her what a bully Tommy really was ) . However , his aggressive true colours are exposed to Rachel after she , Monica , Phoebe , Chandler and Ross witness him lose his temper after Joey and Chandler 's pet baby chicken urinates in his hand and , unable to keep his anger in check , he screams at both it and their pet duck when its quacking irritates him further .

Then Tomas complains to Tim about how he thinks his wife is cheating on him with her gynaecologist . The friends stop trying to have their own conversation and eavesdrop . Eventually Tim reveals how he 's sleeping with Tomas ' wife causing Joey to rather crassly interrupt their discussion to ask if Tim is the gynaecologist Tomas was earlier referring to , only for an irritated Tim to tell him to mind his own business . Bursting into tears as he absorbs the fact that Tim has been sleeping with his wife , Tomas starts shouting at and insulting Tim , and ends their friendship before leaving the shop in a loud fury , followed by Tim , who gives the six shocked , bewildered friends one last embarrassed , apologetic look before he leaves .

Chandler starts to suspect that she is cheating on him and confronts her about it . Kathy is offended and gets into an argument with Chandler .

( The next `` co-pregger '' to share the room with is Janice , who is also taken to the delivery room before Rachel . ) Only in Season 9 ( edit ) See also : Friends ( season 9 ) Leonard Hayes ( edit ) Leonard Hayes ( Jeff Goldblum ) , a director who thinks Joey does not act `` urgent enough '' ; he gets a bad first impression of Joey when he mistakenly thinks the latter is making fun of him in their conversation shortly after they first meet , but quickly comes round when he realizes that Joey is actually complimenting him in his own way . When Joey does the audition while needing to urinate , Leonard is impressed by the newfound urgency in his performance , so the former drinks a lot of liquids in preparation for the second audition . All goes well in the aforementioned second audition -- that is until Leonard , failing to realize that Joey needs to urinate , makes the mistake of telling him to `` relax '' causing him to wet his pants on the spot -- to Leonard 's chagrin .

who played carol in the first season of friends
[ "Carol Willick (Anita Barone for character's debut episode, Jane Sibbett thereafter) and Susan Bunch (Jessica Hecht): Carol is Ross' lesbian ex-wife, who came out before the pilot, and Susan is her partner. Carol dumped and divorced Ross to be with Susan. In the second episode of the series, Carol tells Ross that she is pregnant with his child,[e 8] and is having the baby with her partner Susan, though she wishes Ross to be part of the baby's life. Carol and Susan are often bemused by Ross' quirks throughout his onscreen appearances with them. Susan does not attempt to hide her contempt of Ross and vice versa, but they briefly put aside their differences when Carol gives birth to a boy, whom they all agree, after weeks of argument, to name Ben.[e 9] Carol and Susan get married in \"The One with the Lesbian Wedding\"[e 10] and make irregular appearances until \"The One That Could Have Been\" (Susan),[e 6] and \"The One with the Truth About London\" (Carol). Though Ross and Carol are on good terms after their divorce, Ross continues to resent Susan for losing Carol to her.[e 11]\n" ]

The series was a spin - off of The Andy Griffith Show , and the pilot episode was aired as the season finale of the fourth season of its parent series on May 18 , 1964 . The show ran for a total of 150 half - hour episodes spanning over five seasons , first in black - and - white for the first season , and then in color for the remaining four seasons .

Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Production 3 Episodes 4 Premise 5 Characters 6 Ratings and timeslots 7 Legacy 8 Media 9 Home media 10 Footnotes 11 References 12 Bibliography 13 Further reading 14 External links History ( edit ) See also : The Andy Griffith Show Everett Greenbaum and Jim Fritzell , writers for The Andy Griffith Show , are credited with creating the character of Gomer Pyle . The character was based on an `` incompetent '' gas station attendant whom Greenbaum met and named after Gomer Cool ( a writer ) and Denver Pyle ( an actor on The Andy Griffith Show ) . Jim Nabors was cast to play Gomer ; he had been performing for a Santa Monica nightclub , The Horn , when Andy Griffith discovered him . Though originally intended to appear in only one episode , Gomer proved popular , and after appearing in seasons 3 and 4 , Nabors was given his own spin - off produced by Aaron Ruben . The pilot episode of Gomer Pyle was filmed in 1963 as part of The Andy Griffith Show , but was not aired until 1964 , as the finale of The Andy Griffith Show 's fourth season . I had recently driven into a gas station with motor trouble . The attendant could think of no cure except to add more gas to the tank . We decided to write such an incompetent into the script . Everett Greenbaum on the creation of the character Gomer Pyle The 1960s had a return to `` the more mundane sensibilities of comedy , '' due to viewers ' wishes for television programming to be a `` cultural antidepressant . '' Thus , fantasy and rural - oriented comedies gained popularity and dominated the Nielsen ratings . Like other comedies at the time , Gomer Pyle was a `` deep escapist '' show ; it avoided political commentary and offered viewers a distraction from the social changes of the 1960s . Despite being a military - themed show and airing during the peak of the Vietnam War , the show never discussed the war . Instead , the show focused on `` Gomer 's innocent simplicity ( and ) Sergeant Carter 's frustration and later concern for Gomer 's well - being . '' This , compounded with the popularity of rural comedies in the 1960s , made the show popular . Frank Sutton , who played Carter , also ascribed the show 's popularity to its concentration on its two main characters , and the plots being built around their respective personalities . The program remained in the top 10 of the ratings throughout its run -- in the top three for all but its third season when CBS moved it from Fridays to Wednesdays . Nabors quit because he desired to move to something else , ' reach for another rung on the ladder , either up or down ' . After Gomer Pyle left the air , Jim Nabors hosted his own variety show , The Jim Nabors Hour , from 1969 to 1971 . As well as showcasing Nabors ' singing and rich baritone voice , the show included comedy sketches that featured Nabors 's Gomer Pyle co-stars Frank Sutton and Ronnie Schell . Though told that he should not leave Gomer Pyle , Nabors felt that the show would still be exciting and noted that every character he portrayed in his sketches `` turn ( ed ) out to be Gomer . '' Production ( edit ) Camp Pendleton : The show was filmed there and at Desilu Studios . Actual filming was done at the U.S. Marine Corps Recruit Depot ( MCRD ) San Diego , California 92140 - pictured in the photograph from left to right : Gomer Pyle ( Jim Nabors ) ; USMC Representative / MCRD Technical On - Site Advisor ( Drill Instructor Edwin J. Kues , USMC ) ; and , Gunnery Sergeant Vince Carter ( Frank Sutton ) . This photo was taken in between actual filming of the comedy production at MCRD San Diego , California in 1964 . The show was produced by creator Aaron Ruben , Andy Griffith Show producer Sheldon Leonard ( in partnership with Griffith ) , and Ronald Jacobs ; it was co-produced by Bruce Bayley Johnson and Duke Vincent . Among the writers were Sam Bobrick , Harvey Miller , Aaron Ruben , Jack Elinson , and Bill Idelson ; Andy Griffith Show writers Everett Greenbaum and Jim Fritzell also wrote episodes . Coby Ruskin was the primary director in the first four seasons , before John Rich took over the role for the fifth season ; other directors included Gary Nelson , Peter Baldwin , and Alan Rafkin . Ruth Burch was in charge of the casting , and John Finger directed the cinematography . The theme song was composed by Earle Hagen , who also composed the themes for shows such as The Andy Griffith Show , The Dick Van Dyke Show , and That Girl . The show was filmed at Camp Pendleton , Desilu Studios 's Desilu - Cahuenga , and RKO Forty Acres backlot , where The Andy Griffith Show was filmed . Though Ruben preferred the use of a multiple - camera setup for comedy programs , Gomer Pyle used a single - camera setup because much of the shooting was conducted outdoors . In his book And The Show Goes On , Sheldon Leonard explained that the armed forces offer levels of `` cooperation '' with filmmakers . Because the Marines felt that the show would be good for the branch 's image , Gomer Pyle was given `` total cooperation , '' meaning that the show was allowed unlimited access to military equipment . The vehicles in the show were provided by the Chrysler Corporation , as opposed to the parent series ' vehicles that came from the Ford Motor Company . Although Jeeps are also prominent in the show , the brand itself would not become a part of Chrysler until the AMC buyout that occurred in 1987 . Nabors and Sutton were the only actors credited in every episode ( however , Sutton did not actually appear in every episode ) . Ronnie Schell ( who played Duke Slater ) left after the third season to star in Good Morning , World , though he returned for the fifth season , promoted to corporal , after graduating from non-commissioned officer training . Roy Stuart , who played Corporal Chuck Boyle , made his debut in the second season and left after the fourth . Andy Griffith , Frances Bavier , Ron Howard , and George Lindsey made guest appearances on the series reprising their respective roles from The Andy Griffith Show . Denver Pyle and Allan Melvin , who both had roles on The Andy Griffith Show , appeared in Gomer Pyle , but did not reprise their original roles . Denver Pyle , who had played Briscoe Darling in six episodes of The Andy Griffith Show , played tomato farmer Titus Purcell in the Gomer Pyle episode `` The Price of Tomatoes . '' Allan Melvin , who had played Clarence `` Doc '' Malloy and other antagonists on The Andy Griffith Show , played Sergeant Carter 's rival , Staff Sergeant Hacker , for four seasons . Nabors also carried the Gomer Pyle character to fellow CBS series The Lucy Show , in which he made a cameo appearance in a 1966 episode .

Like Leonard 's other shows , Gomer Pyle was character - driven ; the main characters were `` accessible '' and `` engaging , '' and the supporting characters were often eccentric . In the show 's pilot episode , Gomer , a gas - station attendant from Mayberry , joins the Marines . Gomer 's naivete immediately exasperates his drill instructor , Gunnery Sergeant Carter ( Frank Sutton ) . Originally situated in Camp Wilson in North Carolina , the setting was moved to the fictional Camp Henderson in California . The show was a fish - out - of - water piece , which , like its contemporary The Beverly Hillbillies , featured rural characters out of their normal settings . Like other comedies of the 1960s , the show avoided political commentary ( especially concerning the Vietnam War ) and focused instead on the predicaments that ensued from Gomer 's unintentional breaking of the rules or sticking his foot in his mouth . Among the themes explored were the honesty and `` strong family values supposedly inherent in small town life '' ; according to author Gerard Jones , Gomer Pyle 's basic message was `` far simpler than any corporate suburban sitcoms with their lessons in compromise and role - following ( ... ) It said merely that the oldest , most basic , least sophisticated sort of sweetness could redeem even the toughest modern types '' . Author Elizabeth Hirschman noted that Gomer represented a `` uniquely American archetype '' -- a `` large , powerful man physically '' with the `` simple , honest nature of a child or animal '' . She also noted that , like stories with characters of such an archetype , Gomer 's trusting nature was often taken advantage of , though in the end he `` reaps happiness '' because of his innocence . In his book Watching M * A * S * H , Watching America , media and communications scholar James Wittebols said that Gomer Pyle illustrated how class differences `` supposedly negated or diminished by military training '' appeared in military hierarchy . Characters ( edit ) Main article : List of Gomer Pyle , U.S.M.C. characters Gomer 's personality might best be summed up by the words `` Aw , shucks . '' The Andy Griffith Show Book Gomer Pyle ( played by Jim Nabors ) , from Mayberry , North Carolina , is a good - natured and innocent private whose naïvete constantly annoys his drill instructor , Sergeant Carter . Eventually , however , his `` unquestioning love and trust of the world '' lead those in his platoon to befriend him . His good nature attracts the friendship of women ; meanwhile , in so far as Carter 's abrasiveness repels women , Gomer is in the position of salvaging numerous social occasions by charming the women whose opinions are important to officers at the Marine base . Gomer was created as a stereotype of a rural American ; according to Time , he `` wears a gee - whiz expression , spouts homilies out of a lopsided mouth and lopes around uncertainly like a plowboy stepping through a field of cow dung . He is a walking disaster area . '' Though never promoted beyond private first class during the show 's run , Jim Nabors ( who played Gomer ) was given an honorary promotion to lance corporal in 2001 and again to corporal in 2007 by the Marines . Gomer Pyle 's birthday was February 26 . Gomer : I 'm gon na be a fighting fool , you 'll see . Sergeant Carter : Well , you 're halfway there . `` The Feudin ' Pyles '' Vince Carter ( played by Frank Sutton ) , a gunnery sergeant from Kansas , is Gomer 's irritable , abrasive , and socially inept drill instructor ( later his platoon sergeant ) who is constantly annoyed by Gomer 's well - intentioned mistakes . Carter disdains Gomer 's country idiosyncrasies ( `` golly ! '' `` Shazam ! '' `` surprise , surprise , surprise ! '' ) . He is also put off by Gomer 's expectation that the platoon should be a family , of which Carter is the father figure : As much as Carter wants their working relationship to be temporary , as is common in the military , Gomer expects a life - long friendship , which exasperates Carter . Due to the audience 's demand for more family - oriented programming , he eventually revealed his softer side : Carter became a father figure to Gomer as well as his best friend . Sutton stated that his character was created `` out of whole cloth for the show '' and , as the actor played him `` by ear , '' Carter greatly changed during the first season . Barbara Stuart played his girlfriend `` Miss Bunny '' for three seasons . Mark Slade appeared in eight episodes in 1964 in the role of `` Eddie '' though in the first of those appearances he was billed as `` Private Swanson . '' Duke Slater ( played by Ronnie Schell ) is Gomer 's friend and platoon - mate . Schell left the show in the fourth season to star in the short - lived show Good Morning , World but returned in the final season as the corporal of Gomer 's platoon . Chuck Boyle ( played by Roy Stuart ) is Gomer 's corporal . He often serves as Carter 's conscience and sticks up for Gomer when Sergeant Carter is annoyed over his mistakes . Stuart debuted in the second season and left the show after the fourth season ; Boyle was replaced by Duke Slater as corporal for the final season . Lou - Ann Poovie ( played by Elizabeth MacRae ) is Gomer 's girlfriend . She debuts in the third season as a singer for a nightclub , but leaves the job at Gomer 's urging to return home to Turtle Creek , North Carolina , and marry her beau Monroe Efford . In a later episode in the same season , she returns to California and reveals that she called the wedding off . At the end of the episode , she reveals that she wants Gomer to be her boyfriend , to the dismay of Carter and Duke . After she loses her job at the nightclub , Gomer finds her a job as a salesclerk at a record shop .

In it , the nickname `` Gomer Pyle '' is derogatorily given to Private Leonard Lawrence ( played by Vincent D'Onofrio ) during boot camp , after incurring the drill instructor 's wrath ( Gunnery Sergeant Hartman played by R. Lee Ermey ) for being unable to turn off his idiot 's grin and his perceived incompetence . A brief clip of the show airing on American Forces Vietnam Network television appears during the military hospital scene in the 1994 film Forrest Gump . Media ( edit ) E.

Outside of the cases provided for by the protocol , for example during natural events that deeply impact the community , solemn funerals can be arranged and the six people who carry the coffins are members of the Civil Protection . Malta ( edit ) State Funerals have been held for presidents , prime ministers and archbishops . The last state funeral held for the President of Malta was that of Censu Tabone on March 2012 . The last state funeral held for the Prime Minister of Malta was that of Dom Mintoff on August 2012 . Netherlands ( edit ) The royal funerals of Prince Claus , Queen Juliana and Prince Bernhard are the only royal funerals that were denoted state funerals ; previous royal funerals were considered private affairs . The only non-royal Dutchman who is considered to have received a state funeral was Joannes van Heutsz in 1927 . Poland ( edit ) Main article : Death and state funeral of Lech Kaczyński and Maria Kaczyńska Poland held a state funeral for President of Poland Lech Kaczyński and his wife , Maria Kaczyńska , on April 18 , 2010 after he and 95 others perished in a plane crash . Russia ( edit ) Main article : Death and state funeral of Leonid Brezhnev In Russia , during the time of the Soviet Union ( 1917 - 1991 ) , the state funerals of the most senior political and military leaders were staged as massive events with millions of mourners all over the USSR . The ceremonies held after the deaths as Vladimir Lenin , Joseph Stalin , Leonid Brezhnev , Yuri Andropov and Konstantin Chernenko all followed the same basic outline . They took place in Moscow , began with a public lying in state of the deceased in the House of the Unions and ended with an interment at the Red Square . The most notable examples of such state funerals during the Soviet period of Russian history are the ceremonies that were held for Lenin and Stalin , and for the death and funeral of Leonid Brezhnev . The House of the Unions in Moscow In the second half of the 20th century , whenever a General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union died , the event would first be officially acknowledged by Soviet radio and television . After several days of national mourning , the deceased would be given a state funeral and then buried . Soviet state funerals were often attended by foreign heads of state , heads of government , foreign ministers and other dignitaries from abroad . Following the death of General Secretary Leonid Brezhnev in 1982 , there were five days of national mourning . Following the death of General Secretary Yuri Andropov in 1984 , a four - day period of nationwide mourning was announced . The state funeral for a deceased General Secretary would be arranged , managed and prepared by a special committee of the Communist Party that would be formed for the occasion . As the funeral committee would normally be chaired by the deceased 's successor , the preparations for Soviet state funerals were usually followed with great interest by foreign political scientists trying to gauge power shuffles within the Communist Party . The allocation of responsibilities during the funeral , appointment of pallbearers and positions within the order of precedence observed during the televised funeral ceremonies in Moscow could often be interpreted as a clue for the future position of Politburo members within the Party . When , after Brezhnev 's death in 1982 , Yuri Andropov was elected chairman of the committee in charge of Brezhnev 's funeral , this was seen as a first sign by First World commentators that Andropov might be the most likely candidate for the position of General Secretary . Prior to interment , the body of the deceased General Secretary would lie in state in the Pillar Hall of the House of the Unions which was decorated by numerous red flags and other communist symbols . The mourners , which usually would be brought in by the thousands , shuffled up a marble staircase beneath chandeliers draped in black gauze . On the stage at the left side of the Pillar Hall , amid a veritable garden of flowers , a full orchestra in black tailcoats would play classical music . The deceased 's embalmed body , dressed in a black suit , white shirt and a tie , would be displayed in an open coffin on a catafalque banked with carnations , red roses and tulips , facing the long queue of mourners . A small guard of honour would be in attendance in the background . At the right side of the hall there would be placed seats for guests of honour , with the front row reserved for the dead leader 's family . On the day of the funeral , final ceremonies would be held at the Pillar Hall during which the lid of the coffin would be temporarily closed . The coffin would then be carried out of the House of the Unions and placed on a gun carriage drawn by a military vehicle . A funeral parade would then convey the coffin from the House of the Unions to the Red Square . Two officers led the funeral parade , carrying a large portrait of the deceased , followed by a group of numerous soldiers carrying red floral wreaths . A group of general officers would come next , carrying the late leader 's decorations and medals on small red cushions . Behind them , the coffin rested atop a gun carriage . Walking immediately behind were the members of the deceased 's family . The Politburo leaders , wearing red armbands , came next and led the last group of official mourners . At Brezhnev 's funeral , the escort of official mourners included forty - four persons . As the coffin reached the middle of the Red Square , it would be removed from the carriage and placed on a red - draped bier facing the Lenin Mausoleum , with its lid removed . After a series of funeral speeches , which were delivered by military and political leaders ( typically including the deceased 's successor as General Secretary , as well as ' ordinary ' workers ) from the balcony of the Lenin Mausoleum , the coffin would be carried in a procession around the mausoleum to the Kremlin Wall Necropolis just behind it . There , with the most senior mourners looking on , the coffin would be placed on a red - draped bier and the mourners would pay last respects . The coffin 's lid would then be closed for the final time and the body lowered into the ground by two men , with handfuls of earth thrown onto the coffin by the senior mourners . The grave would be filled in immediately afterward , while the mourners were still present to watch . Gun salutes would be fired , sirens sounded around the Kremlin and the Soviet national anthem be played . This marked the end of the interment . The senior mourners would then return to the balcony of the Lenin Mausoleum to review a parade on Red Square while the military band would play quick marches . This concluded the state funeral . With small deviations , the described protocol was roughly the same for the state funerals of Lenin , Stalin , Brezhnev , Yuri Andropov and Konstantin Chernenko . Lenin and Stalin were placed inside the Lenin Mausoleum while the others were interred in individual graves in the Kremlin Wall Necropolis located behind the mausoleum along the actual Kremlin wall . Stalin 's body would lie beside Lenin 's in the mausoleum until being moved to the Kremlin Wall Necropolis several years after his death . In April 2007 , Russian Federation 's first President Boris Yeltsin was buried in state funeral after church ceremony at Novodevichy Cemetery . He was the first Russian leader and head of state in 113 years to be buried in a church ceremony , after Emperor Alexander III of Russia . Slovakia ( edit ) A state funeral was held for the former President Michal Kováč in 2016 . United Kingdom ( edit ) Main article : State funerals in the United Kingdom See also : Vigil of the Princes and Funeral of Edward VII A state or ceremonial funeral consists of a military procession where the coffin is borne on a gun carriage from the private resting chapel to Westminster Hall . In a state funeral the gun carriage is pulled by members of the Royal Navy . In a royal ceremonial funeral , the gun carriage is pulled by horses , as opposed to servicemen . The body usually lies in state in Westminster Hall for three days . This is then followed by a funeral service at Westminster Abbey or St. Paul 's Cathedral . Many of the features of a state funeral are shared by other types of funerals -- a royal ceremonial funeral ( for example , that of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother and Diana , Princess of Wales ) often has a lying in state and Westminster Abbey service . The real distinction between a state funeral and a royal ceremonial funeral is that a state funeral requires a motion or vote in Parliament . State funerals are usually reserved for sovereigns , though on rare occasions , they may be granted to distinguished citizens with exceptional contributions to the country . Other members of the royal family , or occasionally politicians , typically receive ceremonial funerals instead . The most recent state funeral was that of Sir Winston Churchill in 1965 . Although technically following her divorce from the Prince of Wales in 1996 , Diana , Princess of Wales was no longer a member of the Royal Family , and as such not entitled to a state or ceremonial funeral , the large outpouring of public grief following her death led the Prime Minister Tony Blair to recommend a ceremonial funeral because she was the mother of Princes William and Harry , who were then respectively second and third in the line of succession to the British throne . Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother and Baroness Margaret Thatcher also received ceremonial funerals . Yugoslavia ( edit ) Main article : Death and funeral of Josip Broz Tito A massive state funeral was held for the late President Josip Broz Tito on 8 May 1980 in Belgrade , the capital city of the SFR Yugoslavia . It was the largest funeral of a statesman in the 20th century , with 129 delegations from all around the world. Tito 's funeral drew many statesmen to Belgrade . Notably absent statesmen from funeral were Jimmy Carter and Fidel Castro . His death came in the moment when Soviet invasion of Afghanistan ended American - Soviet détente . Yugoslavia , although a communist state , was non-aligned during the Cold War and fearful that the nation might be invaded like Czechoslovakia and Afghanistan . After learning that Chinese Premier Hua Guofeng would lead the delegation of China , ailing Leonid Brezhnev decided to lead the Soviet delegation . In order to avoid meeting with Leonid Brezhnev and the middle of electoral campaign for the 1980 United States Presidential election , Carter opted to send his mother Lilian Carter and Vice President Walter Mondale as heads of the US delegation . After realizing that leaders of all Warsaw Pact nations would attend the funeral , Carter 's decision was criticized by Presidential candidate George H.W. Bush as sign that the United States `` inferentially slams Yugoslavs at time that country has pulled away from Soviet Union ''. ( 10 ) Carter visited Yugoslavia later in June 1980 and made a visit to Tito 's grave. ( 11 ) ( 12 ) Helmut Schmidt , Chancellor of West Germany was the most active statesman , meeting with Brezhnev , Erich Honecker and Edward Gierek . British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher sought to rally world leaders in order to harshly condemn the Soviet invasion. ( citation needed ) While she was in Belgrade , she held talks with Kenneth Kaunda , Schmidt , Francesco Cossiga and Nicolae Ceaușescu . Brezhnev met with Kim Il - sung and Honecker . James Callaghan , President of the British Labour Party explained his presence in Belgrade as attempt to warm relations between his party and Yugoslav communists , severed more than a decade ago after dissident Milovan Đilas was welcomed by Jennie Lee , Minister for the Arts under Harold Wilson . Mondale avoided Soviets , ignoring Brezhnev while passing close to him . Soviet and Chinese delegations also avoided each other. ( citation needed ) Tito was interred on May 8 twice . First interment was for cameras and dignitaries . Grave was shallow with only 200 kg replica of sarcophagus . Second interment was held privately during the night. ( citation needed ) His coffin was removed , shallow grave was deepened . Coffin was enclosed with copper mask and interred again into much deeper grave which was sealed with cement and topped with a 9 - ton sarcophagus. ( citation needed ) Communist officials were afraid that someone might steal the corpse , similarly to what happened to Charlie Chaplin . However , the 9 ton sarcophagus had to be put in place with a crane , which would make funeral unattractive . Macedonia ( edit ) Since proclaiming independence in 1991 , by law the presidents and prime ministers are entitled to a funeral with state honors , but by a decision of government its possible for other senior officials and distinguished persons with great merit for the state to be buried with state honors . The largest state funeral was held in 2004 for President Boris Trajkovski and the funeral was attended by 47 foreign delegations . Among others that are buried with state honors , are the first prime minister of independent Macedonia Nikola Kljusev and the famous singer Toše Proeski .

when does the state pay for a funeral
[ "A state funeral is a public funeral ceremony, observing the strict rules of protocol, held to honour people of national significance. State funerals usually include much pomp and ceremony as well as religious overtones and distinctive elements of military tradition. Generally, state funerals are held in order to involve the general public in a national day of mourning after the family of the deceased gives consent. A state funeral will often generate mass publicity from both national and global media outlets." ]

The Bears compete in the National Football League ( NFL ) as a member club of the league 's National Football Conference ( NFC ) North division . The Bears have won nine NFL Championships , including one Super Bowl , and hold the NFL record for the most enshrinees in the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the most retired jersey numbers . The Bears have also recorded more victories than any other NFL franchise . The franchise was founded in Decatur , Illinois , in 1919 , and moved to Chicago in 1921 . It is one of only two remaining franchises from the NFL 's founding in 1920 , along with the Arizona Cardinals , which was originally also in Chicago . The team played home games at Wrigley Field on Chicago 's North Side through the 1970 season ; they now play at Soldier Field on the Near South Side , next to Lake Michigan . The Bears have a long - standing rivalry with the Green Bay Packers . The team headquarters , Halas Hall , is in the Chicago suburb of Lake Forest , Illinois . The Bears practice at adjoining facilities there during the season . Since 2002 , the Bears have held their annual training camp , from late July to mid-August , at Ward Field on the campus of Olivet Nazarene University in Bourbonnais , Illinois .

George Chamberlain and he was general superintendent of the A.E. Staley Company ... In 1919 , ( the company 's Fellowship Club ) had formed a football team . It had done well against other local teams but Mr. Staley wanted to build it into a team that could compete successfully with the best semi-professional and industrial teams in the country ... Mr. Chamberlain asked if I would like to come to Decatur and work for the Staley Company . -- George Halas , in his book Halas by Halas . The team 's founder George Halas ( right ) with NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle Originally named the Decatur Staleys , the club was established by the A.E. Staley food starch company of Decatur , Illinois in 1919 as a company team . This was the typical start for several early professional football franchises . The company hired George Halas and Edward `` Dutch '' Sternaman in 1920 to run the team . The 1920 Decatur Staleys season was their inaugural regular season completed in the newly formed American Professional Football Association ( later renamed the National Football League ( NFL ) in 1922 ) . Full control of the team was turned over to Halas and Sternaman in 1921 . Official team and league records cite Halas as the founder as he took over the team in 1920 when it became a charter member of the NFL . The team relocated to Chicago in 1921 , where the club was renamed the Chicago Staleys . Under an agreement reached by Halas and Sternaman with Staley , Halas purchased the rights to the club from Staley for US $100 . In 1922 , Halas changed the team name from the Staleys to the Bears . The team moved into Wrigley Field , which was home to the Chicago Cubs baseball franchise . As with several early NFL franchises , the Bears derived their nickname from their city 's baseball team ( some directly , some indirectly -- like the Bears , whose young are called `` cubs '' ) . Halas liked the bright orange - and - blue colors of his alma mater , the University of Illinois , and the Bears adopted those colors as their own , albeit in a darker shade of each ( the blue is Pantone 5395 , navy blue , and the orange is Pantone 1665 , similar to burnt orange ) . The Staleys / Bears dominated the league in the early years . Their rivalry with the Chicago Cardinals , the oldest in the NFL ( and a crosstown rival from 1920 to 1959 ) , was key in four out of the first six league titles . During the league 's first six years , the Bears lost twice to the Canton Bulldogs ( who took two league titles over that span ) , and split with their crosstown rival Cardinals ( going 4 -- 4 -- 2 against each other over that span ) , but no other team in the league defeated the Bears more than a single time . During that span , the Bears posted 34 shutouts . The Bears ' rivalry with the Green Bay Packers is one of the oldest and most storied in American professional sports , dating back to 1921 ( the Green Bay Packers were an independent team until they joined the NFL in 1921 ) . In one infamous incident that year , Halas got the Packers expelled from the league in order to prevent their signing a particular player , and then graciously got them re-admitted after the Bears had closed the deal with that player . The 1924 team photo The franchise was an early success under Halas , capturing the NFL Championship in 1921 and remaining competitive throughout the decade . In 1924 the Bears claimed the Championship after defeating the Cleveland Bulldogs on December 7 , even putting the title `` World 's Champions '' on their 1924 team photo . But the NFL had ruled that games after November 30 did not count towards league standings , and the Bears had to settle for second place behind Cleveland . Their only losing season came in 1929 . During the 1920s the club was responsible for triggering the NFL 's long - standing rule that a player could not be signed until his college 's senior class had graduated . The NFL took that action as a consequence of the Bears ' aggressive signing of famous University of Illinois player Red Grange within a day of his final game as a collegian . Despite much of the on - field success , the Bears were a team in trouble . They faced the problem of increased operating costs and flatlined attendance . The Bears would only draw roughly 5,000 -- 6,000 fans a game , while a University of Chicago game would draw 40,000 -- 50,000 fans a game . By adding top college football draw Red Grange to the roster , the Bears knew that they found something to draw more fans to their games . C.C. Pyle was able to secure a $2,000 per game contract for Grange , and in one of the first games , the Bears defeated the Green Bay Packers , 21 -- 0 . However , Grange remained on the sidelines while learning the team 's plays from Bears quarterback Joey Sternaman . Later in 1925 , The Bears would go on a barnstorming tour , showing off the best football player of the day . 75,000 people paid to see Grange lead the Bears to a 17 -- 7 victory over the Los Angeles Tigers , who were a quickly put together team of West Coast college all - stars . After a loss to San Francisco , the Bears cruised to a 60 -- 3 over a semi-pro team called the Portland All Stars . Any hopes that Grange would lead the Bears to glory in 1926 were quickly dashed . A failed contract talk led to Grange bolting to the AFL 's New York Yankees , owned by Pyle . The Bears also lost star quarterback Joey Sternaman , who joined the Chicago Bulls of the AFL . The Bears replaced Grange with Paddy Driscoll , a star football player in his own right . The Bears used the money made from the Grange barn - storming tour to sign the man that replaced him . Grange split his time between making movies and playing football . However , the time was not right to have two competing pro football leagues , and the AFL folded after only one season . Grange would return to the Bears . After the financial losses of the 1932 Championship season , Halas ' partner Dutch Sternaman left the organization . Halas maintained full control of the Bears until his death in 1983 . He also coached the team off - and - on for forty seasons , an NFL record . In the 1932 `` Unofficial '' NFL Championship , the Bears defeated the Portsmouth Spartans in the first indoor American football game at Chicago Stadium . The success of the playoff game led the NFL to institute a championship game . In the very first NFL Championship , the Bears played against the New York Giants , defeating them 23 -- 21 . The teams met again in the 1934 NFL Championship where the Giants , wearing sneakers defeated the Bears 30 -- 13 on a cold , icy day at the Polo Grounds . 1940s : the Monsters of the Midway The 1946 NFL Championship team photo From 1940 -- 1947 , quarterback Sid Luckman led the Bears to victories in four out of the five NFL Championship Games in which they appeared . The team acquired the University of Chicago 's discarded nickname `` Monsters of the Midway '' and their now - famous helmet wishbone `` C '' , as well as a newly penned theme song that declared them `` The Pride and Joy of Illinois '' . One famous victory during that period was their 73 -- 0 victory over the favored Washington Redskins at Griffith Stadium in the 1940 NFL Championship Game ; the score is still an NFL record for lopsided results . The secret behind the one - sided outcome was the introduction of a new offensive formation by Halas . The T - formation , as Halas named it , involved two running backs instead of the traditional one in the backfield . Luckman established himself as one of the franchise 's most elite quarterbacks . Between 1939 and 1950 , He set the Bears ' passing records for most career touchdowns , yards , and completions . Many of Luckman 's records stood for decades before they were eclipsed by Jay Cutler in 2014 . Cutler then went on to break Luckman 's franchise record for most career passing touchdowns a year later in 2015 . 1950s -- 1968 : late - Halas era Bears Hall of Famer Mike Ditka is the only person in the modern era to win an NFL championship as a player and coach for the Chicago Bears . After declining throughout the 1950s , the team rebounded in 1963 to capture its eighth NFL Championship , which would be its last until 1985 . The late 1960s and early - 1970s produced notable players like Dick Butkus , Gale Sayers , and Brian Piccolo , who died of embryonal carcinoma in 1970 . The American television network ABC aired a movie about Piccolo in 1971 entitled Brian 's Song , starring James Caan and Billy Dee Williams in the roles of Piccolo and Sayers respectively ; Jack Warden won an Emmy Award for his performance as Halas . The movie was later released for theater screenings after first being shown on television . Despite Hall of Fame careers , Butkus and Sayers would also have their careers cut short due to injuries , hamstringing the Bears of this era . Halas retired as coach in 1967 and spent the rest of his days in the front office . He became the only person to be involved with the NFL throughout the first 60 years of its existence . He was also a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame 's first induction class in 1963 . As the only living founder of the NFL at the February 1970 merger between the NFL and the American Football League , the owners honored Halas by electing him the first President of the National Football Conference , a position that he held until his death in 1983 . In his honor , the NFL named the NFC Championship trophy as the George Halas Memorial Trophy . 1969 -- 1982 : struggles Payton set several franchise and NFL records in rushing during his 13 - season career with the Bears After the merger , the Bears finished the 1970 season last place in their division , a repeat of their placing in the 1969 season . In 1975 , the Bears drafted Walter Payton from Jackson State University with their first pick . He won the NFL Most Valuable Player Award in the 1977 -- 78 season . Payton would go on to eclipse Jim Brown 's NFL career rushing record in 1984 before retiring in 1987 , and would hold the mark until 2002 , when Emmitt Smith of the Dallas Cowboys surpassed it . Payton 's career and personality would capture the hearts of Bear fans , who called him `` Sweetness '' . He died from a rare form of liver cancer in 1999 at the age of 45 . On November 1 , 1983 , a day after the death of George Halas , his oldest daughter , Virginia McCaskey , took over as the majority owner of the team . Her husband , Ed McCaskey , succeeded her father as the Chairman of the Board . Their son Michael became the third president in team history . Mrs. McCaskey holds the honorary title of `` secretary of the board of directors '' , but the 90 - year -- old matriarch has been called the glue that holds the franchise together . Mrs. McCaskey 's reign as the owner of the Bears was not planned , as her father originally earmarked her brother , George `` Mugs '' Halas Jr. as the heir apparent to the franchise . However , he died of a massive heart attack in 1979 . Her impact on the team is well - noted as her own family has dubbed her `` The First Lady of Sports '' , and the Chicago Sun - Times has listed her as one of Chicago 's most powerful women . 1983 -- 1985 : contenders , then Super Bowl Champions The Bears making a rushing play in the end zone against the Patriots during Super Bowl XX . Mike Ditka , a tight end for the Bears from 1961 to 1966 , was hired to coach the team by George Halas in 1982 . His gritty personality earned him the nickname `` Iron Mike '' . The team reached the NFC Championship game in 1984 . In the 1985 season the fire in the Bears -- Packers rivalry was re-lit when Ditka used 315 pound defensive tackle `` Refrigerator '' Perry as a running back in a touchdown play at Lambeau Field , against the Packers . The Bears won their ninth NFL Championship , first since the AFL - NFL merger , in Super Bowl XX after the 1985 season in which they dominated the NFL with their then - revolutionary 46 defense and a cast of characters that recorded the novelty rap song `` The Super Bowl Shuffle '' . The season was notable in that the Bears had only one loss , the `` unlucky 13th '' game of the season , a Monday night affair in which they were defeated by the Miami Dolphins . At the time , much was made of the fact that the 1972 Dolphins were the only franchise in history to have had an undefeated season and post-season . The Dolphins came close to setting up a rematch in the Super Bowl , but lost to the New England Patriots in the AFC title game . `` The Super Bowl Shuffle '' was videotaped the day after that Monday night loss in Miami . 1986 -- 2003 : post-super Bowl After the 1985 Championship season , the Bears remained competitive throughout the 1980s but failed to return to the Super Bowl under Ditka . Between the firing of Ditka and the hiring of Lovie Smith , the Bears had two head coaches , Dick Jauron and Dave Wannstedt . While both head coaches led the team to the playoffs once ( Wannstedt in 1994 and Jauron in 2001 ) , neither was able to accumulate a winning record or bring the Bears back to the Super Bowl . Therefore , the 1990s was largely considered to be a disappointment . Before the Bears hired Jauron in January 1999 , Dave McGinnis ( Arizona 's defensive coordinator , and a former Bears assistant under Ditka and Wannstedt ) backed out of taking the head coaching position . The Bears scheduled a press conference to announce the hiring before McGinnis agreed to contract terms . Soon after Jauron 's hiring , Mrs. McCaskey fired her son Michael as president , replacing him with Ted Phillips and promoting Michael to chairman of the board . Phillips , the current Bears president , became the first man outside of the Halas - McCaskey family to run the team . 2004 -- 2012 : Lovie Smith era Lovie Smith accomplished his first objective as the team 's head coach by sweeping the Green Bay Packers during the 2005 season . Lovie Smith , hired on January 15 , 2004 , is the third post-Ditka head coach . Joining the Bears as a rookie head coach , Smith brought the highly successful Tampa 2 defensive scheme with him to Chicago . Before his second season with the Bears , the team rehired their former offensive coordinator and then Illinois head coach Ron Turner to improve the Bears ' struggling offense . In 2005 , the Bears won their division and reached the playoffs for the first time in four years . Their previous playoff berth was earned by winning the NFC Central in 2001 . The Bears improved upon their success the following season , by clinching their second consecutive NFC North title during Week 13 of the 2006 season , winning their first playoff game since 1995 , and earning a trip to Super Bowl XLI . However , they fell short of the championship , losing 29 -- 17 to the Indianapolis Colts . Following the 2006 season , the club decided to give Smith a contract extension through 2011 , at roughly $5 million per year . This comes a season after being the lowest paid head coach in the National Football League . The club has played in over a thousand games since becoming a charter member of the NFL in 1920 . Through the 2010 season , they led the NFL in overall franchise wins with 704 and had an overall record of 704 -- 512 -- 42 ( going 687 -- 494 -- 42 during the regular season and 17 -- 18 in the playoffs ) . On November 18 , 2010 the Bears recorded franchise win number 700 in a win against the Miami Dolphins . The Bears made one of the biggest trades in team history by acquiring Pro Bowl quarterback Jay Cutler in 2009 . The Bears made one of the biggest trades in franchise history , acquiring Pro Bowl quarterback Jay Cutler from the Denver Broncos in exchange for Kyle Orton and draft picks on April 2 , 2009 . After a disappointing 2009 campaign with the team going 7 -- 9 , Mike Martz was hired as the team 's offensive coordinator on February 1 , 2010 . On March 5 , 2010 , the Bears signed defensive end Julius Peppers , running back Chester Taylor , and tight end Brandon Manumaleuna , spending over $100 million on the first day of free agency . Also during the 2010 offseason , Michael McCaskey was replaced by brother George McCaskey as chairman of the Bears . With a 38 -- 34 win against the New York Jets , the Bears clinched the No. 2 seed and a first - round bye for the 2010 -- 11 NFL playoffs . In their first Playoff game since Super Bowl XLI , The Bears defeated the No. 4 seed Seattle Seahawks 35 -- 24 in the Divisional Round . The Bears reached the NFC Championship Game , where they played Green Bay Packers at Soldier Field -- only the second playoff meeting between the two storied rivals , the only other game played in 1941 . The Bears lost the game , 21 -- 14 . The team started the 2011 season strong with a 7 -- 3 record , and running back Matt Forté led the NFL in total yards from scrimmage . Eventually , quarterback Jay Cutler fractured his thumb , and Forté also was lost for the season against the Kansas City Chiefs after spraining his MCL , and the Bears , with Caleb Hanie playing , lost five straight before winning against the Minnesota Vikings with Josh McCown starting in favor over Hanie . At season 's end , general manager Jerry Angelo was fired , and former Chiefs director of scouting and former Bears scout Phil Emery was brought in . Offensive coordinator Mike Martz resigned , and eventually retired , and was replaced by offensive line coach Mike Tice . The Bears made another notable move by trading for Miami Dolphins receiver and Pro Bowl MVP Brandon Marshall . The Bears became the first team in NFL history to return six interceptions for touchdowns in the first seven games of the season , with another pick - six by Brian Urlacher in Week 9 bringing Chicago two behind the record set by the 1961 San Diego Chargers . However , the Bears missed the playoffs with a record of 10 -- 6 ( after starting the season 7 -- 1 , the first team to start with the record and miss the playoffs since the 1996 Washington Redskins ) , and Smith was fired on December 31 . 2013 -- 2014 : Marc Trestman years Then - CFL head coach and former NFL journeyman Marc Trestman was hired to succeed Smith after an exhaustive search that included at least 13 known candidates . On March 20 , 2013 , Brian Urlacher 's 13 - year tenure with the Bears ended when both sides failed to agree on a contract . The Trestman era began on September 8 with a 24 -- 21 win over the Cincinnati Bengals , making Trestman the fourth head coach in Bears history to win in his coaching debut , after George Halas ( 1920 ) , Neill Armstrong ( 1978 ) and Dick Jauron ( 1999 ) . The Bears ended the 2013 season 8 -- 8 . The following season was a disaster for the Bears , as they finished 5 -- 11 and last in the NFC North . Trestman and Emery were fired after the season ended . 2015 -- 2017 : John Fox era The Bears hired Ryan Pace of the New Orleans Saints to be their new general manager on January 8 , 2015 . On January 16 , 2015 , John Fox accepted a four - year deal to become head coach . In Fox 's first season as head coach , the Bears saw improvements from 2014 ; after USA Today projected the Bears to win three games , they doubled that total and finished the season with a 6 -- 10 record , including a Thanksgiving win over the Packers at Lambeau Field . However , during the 2016 season , the Bears regressed heavily , compiling a 3 -- 13 record , their worst since the NFL 's change to 16 - game seasons in 1978 . The season included several injuries to starters and secondary players , including Jay Cutler , who only played five games as a result of two separate injuries . The team 's backup quarterback Brian Hoyer would then start the next three games before being out for the season with a broken arm and was replaced by Matt Barkley , who made his first career start with the Bears . None of the three quarterbacks returned for the 2017 season . In the 2017 NFL Draft , the team selected quarterback Mitchell Trubisky , who sat behind newly - signed quarterback Mike Glennon for the first four games before taking over . The Bears ended the season 5 -- 11 and again finished last in the NFC North . On January 1 , 2018 , Fox was fired , ending his tenure in Chicago with a 14 -- 34 record . 2018 -- present : Matt Nagy era On January 8 , 2018 , Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy was hired as the new head coach of the Bears . Ownership Halas Hall in Lake Forest , Illinois is the Bears ' headquarters . Virginia Halas McCaskey , her children , and grandchildren control 80 percent of the team , and Mrs. McCaskey votes her children 's stock as well as her own . Patrick Ryan , executive chairman of Aon Corp. , and Aon director Andrew McKenna own 19.7 % of the club . In a Crain 's Chicago Business article , one businessman described his wishes for the team to maximize its potential . In 2009 , Yahoo ! Sports listed the McCaskeys as the third worst owner in the NFL , stating `` ( T ) hey get less for what they 've got than any team in our league . '' There have been rumors that the McCaskey family might split up over the team . In 2012 , Forbes magazine reported that the franchise is worth $1.19 billion , making it the eighth richest franchise in the NFL . Chicago is the third largest media market in the United States . Sponsorships The team has major sponsorship deals with Dr Pepper Snapple Group , Miller Brewing Company , PNC Financial Services , United Airlines , Verizon , Xfinity and Proven IT . The team was the first in the NFL to have a presenting sponsor , with the 2004 season advertised as `` Bears Football presented by BankOne ( now Chase ) '' . Additionally , the Bears have an agreement with WFLD ( the Fox owned - and - operated station in Chicago ) to broadcast pre-season football games . Logos , uniforms , mascots , and cheerleaders Main article : Chicago Bears logos , uniforms , and mascots Logo One of the original logos ( 1962 -- 1973 ) The club 's first logo was introduced in the early 1950s as a black bear on top of a football . They kept this until 1962 , when the Bears trademark ' C ' logo was first introduced . The change in their logo from the black bear was due to the addition of logos on helmets , which pro football teams started adding in the late 1950s and early 1960s . Unlike some NFL franchises that have had many different looks over time , the Bears have kept the wishbone ' C ' for over 40 years . In 1974 , the team decided to keep the same ' C ' logo but change the color from white to orange with white trim . This is the current logo ; however , the club has since introduced alternate logos , including a black bear inside of the orange wishbone ' C ' , introduced in 1995 , and an orange bear head , introduced in 1999 . Uniforms In 1920 the team introduced uniforms containing brown and blue stripes . In the 1930s , the franchise 's uniform underwent substantial alterations . By 1933 the Bears donned all - orange jerseys with navy numbers and matching navy blue helmets . In 1936 , they modified this design into `` an early version of psychedelia '' by adding three orange stripes to their helmets , changing the color of the jerseys from orange to white , complementing the new white jerseys with 14 navy and orange alternating stripes on the sleeves , and introducing socks with a similar striped pattern extending from ankle to knee . Because of poor response from the fans and the media , this design lasted only one season . By 1949 , the team was wearing the familiar navy blue shirts with white , rounded numbers . In 1956 , the team added `` TV numbers '' to the sleeves . The Bears ' C ' logo first appeared on the helmets in 1962 . The logo changed from white to a white - bordered orange logo 11 years later , and has remained unchanged ever since . The Bears added the initials GSH to the left sleeve of their jerseys in 1984 in memory of George Halas . For decades , the team was known as the only NFL team to wear jersey numbers that were not the traditional block - style numbers ( though during the 1971 season , the Bears ' road jerseys used the block - style numbers ) . Although a handful of other NFL teams and the Houston Oilers during their early AFL days experimented with rounder jersey numbers , by the mid-1960s the Bears were the only team left to continue wearing rounded jersey numbers . Since the mid-1990s , however , several teams have shifted away from the block numbers in favor of numbers that match a specific team font ( e.g. Denver Broncos , Baltimore Ravens , Philadelphia Eagles , etc . ) or in the case of the Pittsburgh Steelers , match the jersey number font with the helmet numbers while otherwise leaving the jersey design alone . Other variations to the Bears uniforms over the years include the addition of navy blue pants as a part of the road kit in 1984 . During the 1994 season , the Bears -- with most of the other NFL franchises -- introduced throwback uniforms to be worn in the honor of the NFL 's 75th anniversary . These uniforms with brown and blue stripes resemble the original Bears uniforms worn in the 1920s . On October 7 , 2002 the Bears wore navy blue pants with their navy blue home jerseys for the first time , and lost at home to Green Bay before a national Monday Night Football audience . The Bears did not wear the all - blue combination again until the 2006 regular season finale against the Packers , also a loss , on December 31 . A variation of the all - blue look , this time featuring blue socks with orange stripes , was used on October 20 , 2016 against the Packers as part of the NFL Color Rush initiative , a game the Bears also lost . Then on September 10 , 2017 , the Bears played the Atlanta Falcons at home in their all - blue uniforms and lost , giving the combination an 0 -- 4 all - time record . On November 13 , 2005 and October 29 , 2006 ( both times in games against the San Francisco 49ers ) , the Bears introduced an orange alternate home jersey . The orange swaps roles with the navy blue on this alternate jersey , as it becomes the dominant color while the navy complements . The orange jerseys were worn again on October 19 , 2008 at home against the Minnesota Vikings in a 48 -- 41 victory . The Bears also wore the orange jerseys against the Detroit Lions in 2007 , a 2009 game vs. the Cleveland Browns , as well as in 2011 against the Packers and Lions . The Bears previously wore orange jerseys as part of a throwback uniform in a Thanksgiving Day game at the Dallas Cowboys in 2004 . Their uniforms , especially for their classic look , have been cited as one of the best in the league . Since 2005 , the Bears have worn their alternate orange jerseys for one home game a season that is near Halloween . For the 2005 -- 07 and 2010 home openers , the team wore the white jerseys with the navy blue pants . The team is 4 -- 0 in these games , beating the Lions in 2005 , 2006 , and 2010 , and beating the Chiefs in 2007 . The Bears honored the original Monsters of the Midway during the 2010 season by wearing throwback uniforms of the era for selected games . The uniforms are a nod to the 1940s when the Bears won four NFL titles with Hall of Famers Danny Fortman , Sid Luckman , George McAfee , George Musso , Bronko Nagurski , Joe Stydahar and Clyde `` Bulldog '' Turner . The Bears wore the throwbacks once again for the 2012 season . In 2012 , after Nike took over the NFL uniform supplier from Reebok , the Bears uniform received changes . One of the changes include moving the numbers on the sleeves onto the shoulder pad , as well as enlarging the GSH on the stripes . Mascots Main article : Staley Da Bear Staley Da Bear in 2008 . Before the 2003 season , the team had two unofficial mascots named `` Rocky '' and `` Bearman '' . `` Rocky '' was a man who donned a # 1 Bears jersey , carried a megaphone , and started chants all over Soldier Field during the 1970s , 1980s and early 1990s , in a fashion similar to Fireman Ed . There is no known source of who `` Rocky '' was , and presumably currently lives in Northwestern Indiana . Don Wachter , also known as `` Bearman '' , is a season ticket holder who decided in 1995 that he could also assist the team by cheerleading , similar to Rocky . The club allowed him to run across the field with a large Bears flag during player introductions and each team score ( a role currently done by the Bears 4th Phase and Bears captains ) . In 1996 , he donned his `` costume '' of face paint , bear head and arms , and a number 46 jersey . `` Bearman '' was forced to stop wearing his costume with the introduction of Staley Da Bear in 2003 ; however , in 2005 , Wachter was allowed in costume again . Staley Da Bear is an anthropomorphic bear with a customized No. 00 jersey , with blue and orange eyes , synonymous with the team 's main colors . His name is eponymous to corn processing company A.E. Staley , who founded the Bears ' franchise in 1919 . Like Rocky and Bearman , he entertains Bears fans , but like other NFL mascots , and mascots in general , Staley also makes various visits to charity events , parties , Chicago Rush AFL games , and other Bears - related events , as well as taking part in various games with his `` furballs '' against youth football teams at halftime . Cheerleaders Main article : Chicago Honey Bears The team also formerly had their own cheerleading squad called the Chicago Honey Bears . However , Bears owner Virginia Halas McCaskey terminated them after the 1985 season . The squad 's uniforms have changed 3 times : from 1977 -- 1979 was a white bodysuit with navy blue sleeves , from 1980 -- 1984 was also a white bodysuit , but with orange sleeves and the navy was moved to the trim , and in the squad 's final season in 1985 , the uniform was redesigned with an orange sequin vest . Rivals Divisional rivals Green Bay Packers Main article : Bears -- Packers rivalry The Green Bay Packers are the Bears ' biggest rivals since their team 's inception in 1920 . The Green Bay Packers currently have the lead at 95 -- 94 -- 6 , and the teams have met twice in the postseason . The Bears won the 1941 meeting , 33 -- 14 , and eventually defeated the New York Giants in the 1941 NFL Championship Game , and the Packers won the 2011 meeting , 21 -- 14 , en route to a Super Bowl XLV win over the Pittsburgh Steelers . The teams ' first meeting was a victory for the Bears ( known as the Staleys at the time ) in 1921 in a shutout , 20 -- 0 . The Packers claimed their first win over the Bears in 1925 , 14 -- 10 . The 1924 matchup ( which ended in a 3 -- 0 win for Chicago ) was notable for featuring the first ever ejection of players in a game in NFL history , as Frank Hanny of the Bears and Walter Voss of the Packers were ejected for punching each other . The rivalry also featured one of the last successful fair catch kicks in 1968 , when Bears kicker Mac Percival kicked the game - winning field goal . Minnesota Vikings Main article : Bears -- Vikings rivalry Chicago and Minnesota took each other on in the Vikings ' inaugural game , with the Vikings defeating the Bears in a 37 -- 13 rout , and Minnesota currently holds the series lead 54 -- 50 -- 2 . Detroit Lions Main article : Bears -- Lions rivalry The Detroit Lions and Bears have faced off since the Lions ' inception in 1930 , when they were known as the Portsmouth Spartans , with the Spartans winning , 7 -- 6 , and Chicago winning the second meeting , 14 -- 6 . Since then , the Bears have led the series , 95 -- 66 -- 5 . The rivalry grew in 1932 , when the Bears and Spartans met in the first ever postseason game in NFL history , with the Bears winning the game 9 -- 0 . The game also was known as the first `` indoor football '' game , as the game took place in indoor Chicago Stadium due to a blizzard at the time . The game also started the forward pass . Historic rivals Arizona Cardinals Former cross-town rivals , the Bears and the Cardinals have faced each other more times than any other teams not currently in the same division . Highlights of the rivalry include Ernie Nevers scoring 40 points against the Bears in 1929 in a 40 -- 7 rout . In 2006 , the Bears defeated the Cardinals in a 24 -- 23 comeback from a 20 - point deficit in the 2nd half , which resulted in Cardinals coach Dennis Green 's famous rant . The Bears currently lead the all - time series , 57 -- 27 -- 6 . Other rivals Cleveland Browns : Since 2005 , the Bears and Browns have met in the final game of the preseason , after the two teams made an agreement to play each other in alternating cities due to their close proximity . The Browns won the 2005 game 16 -- 6 , but the Bears have since gone 7 -- 5 , winning in their 2006 , 2008 , 2009 , 2011 , 2012 , 2015 , and 2016 matchups . In their all - time series , the Browns lead 6 -- 9 ( as the current expansion team ) . Indianapolis Colts : Despite not meeting as often , the Bears and Colts are known as being geographic rivals , with NFL.com analyst Dave Dameshek calling the game the I - 65 Bowl , after Interstate 65 , which connects between Chicago and Indianapolis . The Colts ( while in Baltimore ) won the first meeting in 1953 13 -- 9 . Both teams have shared various moments in the past , with the Bears suffering their worst loss in franchise history 52 -- 0 to the Colts during their time in Baltimore . The Bears later won 57 -- 0 in 1962 against the Colts , which is the highest scoring differential in team history for a regular - season game . The most notable moment between the two teams was Super Bowl XLI , with Indianapolis pulling away with the win despite Chicago dominance in the first half , which was also known for being the first ever Super Bowl to be played in rain . The teams also share various relations with each other , including the relationship between former Colts coach Tony Dungy and Bears coach Lovie Smith , who both were on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers team in the late 1990s and early 2000s , and both coaches met in Super Bowl XLI . The Colts currently lead the series , 23 -- 19 , though the Bears have won the last two meetings both in 2008 , 23 -- 19 and in 2012 , 41 -- 21 . Because of the NFL 's scheduling formula , The Bears and Colts will meet again in 2016 at Lucas Oil Stadium . San Francisco 49ers : In the 1980s , the Bears and San Francisco 49ers have met twice in the postseason , as well as many times in the regular season . In the teams ' first meeting in 1950 , the Bears triumphed , 17 -- 0 . In the 1980s , the Bears went 3 -- 4 , including 2 postseason meetings . The 49ers won the first meeting in a 23 -- 0 shutout , as well as the next meeting , 28 -- 3 . In 1985 , the Bears claimed their revenge for their humiliating loss by sending in rookie William `` The Refrigerator '' Perry in at fullback in a 26 -- 10 rout . Since the game , the Bears have lost all eight games at Candlestick Park , the last being a 32 -- 7 loss in 2012 . In the 49ers ' new stadium Levi 's Stadium 's opening game against the Bears , the Bears triumphed 28 -- 20 . However , the 49ers won the most recent meeting on December 6 , 2015 at Soldier Field , defeating the Bears 26 -- 20 . Because both teams finished in last place in their respective divisions , the Bears and 49ers will meet again in 2016 . New York Giants : In a newer preseason rivalry ( as well as an old rivalry ) , the Bears and Giants have taken each other on frequently in the preseason against each other since 2009 , and since 2011 , has been the 3rd game in the preseason ( both teams did n't meet in 2010 ) . The 2 teams have also shared some bad blood before the AFL - NFL merger , as the Bears defeated the Giants in the inaugural NFL Championship Game . The Giants would claim their revenge in the infamous `` Sneakers Game '' over the undefeated Bears . The Bears would defeat New York in the 1963 NFL Championship Game . In the recent decade , the Bears defeated the Giants in 2006 , 38 -- 20 , and Bears rookie Devin Hester showed his ability to return on special teams when he tied a Bears record for longest play when he ran a missed field goal back 108 yards for a touchdown on Sunday Night Football . The Giants would claim their revenge in 2010 , when they defeated the Bears in a 17 -- 3 victory , in which the Giants sacked Bears quarterback Jay Cutler nine times in the first half . The Bears eventually won in 2013 , 27 -- 21 . Because of the NFL 's scheduling formula , the Bears and Giants will meet again in 2016 at MetLife Stadium . Stadium Main articles : Wrigley Field and Soldier Field Soldier Field in 2011 , as seen from the lakeshore Soldier Field , located on Lake Shore Drive in Chicago , is the current home of the Bears . The Bears moved to Soldier Field in 1971 after outgrowing Wrigley Field , the team 's home for 50 years . Northwestern University 's residential neighbors objected to their playing at Dyche Stadium , now called Ryan Field . After the AFL - NFL Merger , the newly merged league wanted their teams to play in stadiums that could hold at least 50,000 fans . Even with the portable bleachers that the team brought into Wrigley , the stadium could still only hold 46,000 . Soldier Field 's playing turf was changed from natural grass to astroturf before the 1971 season , and then back to natural grass in time for the start of the 1988 season . The stadium was the site of the infamous Fog Bowl playoff game between the Bears and Philadelphia Eagles . In 2002 , the stadium was closed and rebuilt with only the exterior wall of the stadium being preserved . It was closed on Sunday , January 20 , 2002 , a day after the Bears lost in the playoffs . It reopened on September 27 , 2003 after a complete rebuild ( the second in the stadium 's history ) . Many fans refer to the rebuilt stadium as `` New Soldier Field '' . During the 2002 season , the Bears played their home games at the University of Illinois ' Memorial Stadium in Champaign , where they went 3 -- 5 . Many critics have negative views of the new stadium . They believe that its current structure has made it more of an eyesore than a landmark ; some have dubbed it the `` Mistake on the Lake '' . Soldier Field was stripped of its National Historic Landmark designation on February 17 , 2006 . In the 2005 season , the Bears won the NFC North Division and the No. 2 Seed in the NFC Playoffs , entitling them to play at least one home game in the postseason . The team hosted ( and lost ) their divisional round match on January 15 , 2006 against the Carolina Panthers . This was the first playoff game at Soldier Field since the stadium reopened . The stadium 's end zones and midfield were not painted until the 1982 season . The design sported on the field included the bolded word `` Chicago '' rendered in Highway Gothic in both end zones . In 1983 , the end zone design returned , with the addition of a large wishbone `` C '' Bears logo painted at midfield . These field markings remained unchanged until the 1996 season . In 1996 the midfield wishbone `` C '' was changed to a large blue Bears head , and the end zone design were painted with `` Bears '' in cursive . This new design remained until the 1999 season , at which point the artwork was returned to the classic `` Chicago '' and the `` C '' . In the new Soldier Field , the artwork was tweaked to where one end zone had the word `` Chicago '' bolded and the other had `` Bears '' . In popular culture The CNA Center in Chicago flashes a `` GO BEARS '' window display before a Bears Sunday Night Football game While the Super Bowl XX Champion Bears were a fixture of mainstream American pop culture in the 1980s , the Bears made a prior mark with the 1971 American TV movie Brian 's Song starring Billy Dee Williams as Gale Sayers and James Caan as Brian Piccolo . The film told of how Piccolo helped Sayers recover from a devastating knee injury to return to his status as one of the league 's best players , and how Sayers in turn helped the Piccolo family through Brian 's fatal illness . A 2001 remake of the movie for ABC starred Sean Maher as Piccolo and Mekhi Phifer as Sayers . The 1985 team is also remembered for recording the song `` The Super Bowl Shuffle '' , which reached number forty - one on the Billboard Hot 100 and was nominated for a Grammy Award . The music video for the song depicts the team rapping that they are `` not here to start no trouble '' but instead `` just here to do the Super Bowl Shuffle '' . The team took a risk by recording and releasing the song before the playoffs had even begun , but were able to avoid embarrassment by going on to win Super Bowl XX by a then - record margin of 46 -- 10 . That game was one of the most watched television events in history according to the Nielsen ratings system ; the game had a rating of 48.3 , ranking it 7th in all - time television history . In addition to the `` Super Bowl Shuffle '' rap song , the Bears ' success in the 1980s -- and especially the personality of head coach Mike Ditka -- inspired a recurring sketch on the American sketch comedy program Saturday Night Live , called `` Bill Swerski 's Superfans '' . The sketch featured Cheers co-star George Wendt , a Chicago native , as host of a radio talk - show ( similar in tone to WGN radio 's `` The Sportswriters '' ) , with co-panelists Carl Wollarski ( Robert Smigel ) , Pat Arnold ( Mike Myers ) and Todd O'Connor ( Chris Farley ) . To hear them tell it , `` Da Bears '' and Coach Ditka could do no wrong . The sketch stopped after Ditka was fired in 1993 . The sketch usually showed the panelists drinking lots of beer and eating lots of Polish sausage , and often featured Todd getting so agitated about what was happening with the Bears that he suffered a heart attack , but quickly recovered ( through self - administered CPR ) . The sketch also features the cast predicting unrealistic blowout victories for Bears games . Da Super Fan sketch has not been brought back by SNL , with the exception of a single appearance by Horatio Sanz as a Super Fan for the Cubs on `` Weekend Update '' in 2003 . Outside of SNL , George Wendt reprised his role of Swerski in the opening promo of Super Bowl XL on ABC . On TV shows based in Chicago such as The Bob Newhart Show , Married ... with Children , Family Matters , Still Standing , According to Jim , Early Edition and The Bernie Mac Show , the main characters are all Bears fans , and have worn Bears ' jerseys and T - shirts on some occasions . Some episodes even show them watching Bears games . Roseanne is another TV show based in Illinois ( albeit not in Chicago itself ) to feature the Bears as the consensus household favorite , as ' Dan Connor ' John Goodman is seen wearing Bears hats in several episodes . That ' 70s Show featured several Bears references , as it was based in Wisconsin , home of the Packers . On one episode while the gang is at a Bears vs. Packers game , Eric comes to the seat in a Walter Payton jersey and is booed by the surrounding Packers fans . In an episode of the Disney Channel show Shake It Up , based in Chicago , recurring character Dina Garcia ( Ainsley Bailey ) sold scalped Chicago Bears tickets . More recently , Modern Family character Cameron Tucker has been shown as a Bears fan . In an episode of the Disney Channel show `` I Did n't Do It '' , based in Chicago , Lindy Watson ( Olivia Holt ) and Logan Watson ( Austin North ) try to get a football signed by NFL Hall of Famer Dick Butkus after destroying their fathers Butkus signed ball , Alshon Jeffery also makes a cameo appearance as well . Ditka 's success and popularity in Chicago has led him to land analyst roles on various American football pregame shows . Ditka worked for both the NFL on NBC and CBS 's The NFL Today , and he currently works on ESPN 's Sunday NFL Countdown and provided Friday night analysis on the Bears on WBBM - TV 's 2 on Football with former WBBM - TV sports director Mark Malone . He is also the color analyst for all local broadcasts of Bears preseason games . Ditka also co-starred himself alongside actor Will Ferrell in the 2005 comedy film Kicking & Screaming . Also , Ditka , Dick Butkus , Walter Payton , Jim McMahon , William `` Refrigerator '' Perry and Brian Urlacher are among Bears figures known for their appearances in TV commercials . Urlacher , whose jersey was among the league 's best - selling in 2002 , was featured on Nike commercials with former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick . In the 1961 Hanna - Barbera animated short `` Rah Rah Bear '' , Yogi Bear helps the Bears beat the New York Giants . The Bears were later depicted in an episode of the 1985 cartoon version of the NBC sitcom Punky Brewster , where the Bears are playing the Green Bay Packers . Clark Griswold ( Chevy Chase ) from the National Lampoon 's Vacation series appears in some scenes wearing a navy blue with burnt orange scripting Chicago Bears ball cap . He wears the same Chicago Bears cap throughout all four Vacation movies . Broadcast media Radio Map of radio affiliates .

On the other hand , Steve McMichael holds the record for most consecutive games played by a Bear with 191 ; he accomplished the feat from 1981 to 1993 . In second place is Payton , who played 186 games from 1975 to 1987 at running back , a position considered to be conducive to injury , only missing one game in a span of 13 seasons . Kicker Robbie Gould became the Bears ' all - time scoring leader in Week 5 of 2015 season overtaking placekicker Kevin Butler who previously held the club record for scoring the most points in his ten - year Bear career . He scored 1,116 points as the Bears kicker from 1985 to 1995 . He is followed by running back Walter Payton , with 750 points . Payton holds the team record for career rushing yards with 16,726 . That was an NFL record until Emmitt Smith of the Dallas Cowboys broke it in 2002 . Former Bears running back Matt Forte , who started playing for the Bears in 2008 , is the closest to Payton 's record with 6,985 yards . Forte also holds the team 's single season record for rookies in rushing attempts , rushing yards and receptions . Mark Bortz holds the record for most Bear playoff appearances , with 13 between 1983 and 1994 , and is followed by Kevin Butler , Dennis Gentry , Dan Hampton , Jay Hilgenberg , Steve McMichael , Ron Rivera , Mike Singletary , and Keith Van Horne , who have each played in 12 playoff games . The 1940 Chicago Bears team holds the record for the biggest margin of victory in an NFL game ( playoff or regular season ) with a 73 -- 0 victory over the Washington Redskins in the 1940 NFL Championship Game . The largest home victory for the Bears came in a 61 -- 7 result against the Green Bay Packers in 1980 . The largest defeat in club history was a 52 -- 0 loss against the Baltimore Colts in 1964 . The club recorded undefeated regular seasons in 1934 and 1942 , but ( unlike the 1972 Dolphins ) did not win the championship game in either season . In 1934 , the club completed a 13 -- 0 record but were defeated by the New York Giants , and in 1942 the club completed an 11 -- 0 record but were defeated by the Redskins . Had the Bears won either championship , the club would have completed a championship three - peat -- a feat completed only by the Packers ( twice ) , although no team has done it since the AFL - NFL merger . Halas holds the team record for coaching the most seasons with 40 and for having the most career victories of 324 . Halas ' victories record stood until Don Shula surpassed Halas in 1993 . Ditka is the closest Bears coach to Halas , with 112 career victories . No other Bears coach has recorded over 100 victories with the team . During the 2006 season , return specialist Devin Hester set several kick return records . He currently holds the franchise record for most return yards with 2,261 . He had six touchdown returns , setting a record for most returns in a single season . In 2007 , he recorded another six touchdown season from returns . One of the most notable of these returns came on November 12 , 2006 , when he returned a missed field goal for a 108 - yard touchdown . The record tied former teammate Nathan Vasher 's previous record , which was set almost a year earlier . Additionally , Hester set a Super Bowl record by becoming the first player to return an opening kick of a Super Bowl for a touchdown . On December 20 , 2010 , Hester set an NFL record for most touchdowns on a punt or kickoff return with his 14th career return coming against the Minnesota Vikings . In 2011 , Hester broke the record for the most punt returns against the Carolina Panthers . In 2012 , Charles Tillman has the record for most forced fumbles in a single game with 4 against the Tennessee Titans . Also against the Titans , Chicago became the first team in league history to score a touchdown pass , a touchdown run , an interception return for a touchdown , and a blocked kick / punt for a score in the same quarter . Tillman and teammate Lance Briggs became the first pair in NFL history to return an interception for a touchdown in consecutive games against the Jacksonville Jaguars and Dallas Cowboys .

Eight years prior to founding Victoria 's Secret , Raymond was embarrassed when purchasing lingerie for his wife at a department store . Newsweek reported him looking back on the incident from the vantage of 1981 : `` When I tried to buy lingerie for my wife , '' he recalls , `` I was faced with racks of terry - cloth robes and ugly floral - print nylon nightgowns , and I always had the feeling the department store saleswomen thought I was an unwelcome intruder . '' During the 1970s and 1980s , most women in America purchased `` dowdy '' , `` pragmatic '' , `` foundation garments '' by Fruit of the Loom , Hanes , and Jockey in packs of three from department stores and saved `` fancier items '' for `` special occasions '' like honeymoons . `` Lacy thongs and padded push - up bras '' were niche products during this period found `` alongside feathered boas and provocative pirate costumes at Frederick 's of Hollywood '' outside of the mainstream product offerings available at department stores . Raymond studied the lingerie market for eight years before borrowing $40,000 from his parents and $40,000 from a bank to establish Victoria 's Secret : a store in which men could feel comfortable buying lingerie . The company 's first store was located in Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto , California . Raymond picked the name `` Victoria '' after Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom to associate with the refinement of the Victorian era . The `` Secret '' was what was hidden underneath the clothes . 1977 -- 1980 : the early years ( edit ) Victoria 's Secret grossed $500,000 in its first year of business , enough to finance the expansion from a headquarters and warehouse to four new store locations and a mail - order operation . By 1980 , Raymond had added two more San Francisco stores at 2246 Union Street and 115 Wisconsin Street . By 1982 , the fourth store ( still in the San Francisco area ) was added at 395 Sutter Street . Victoria 's Secret stayed at that location until 1990 , when it moved to the larger Powell Street frontage of the Westin St. Francis . In April 1982 , Raymond sent out his 12th catalog ; each catalog cost $3 ( equivalent to $7.45 in 2016 ) . Catalog sales now accounted for 55 % of the company 's $7 million annual sales . The Victoria 's Secret stores at this time were `` a niche player '' in the underwear market . The business was described as `` more burlesque than Main Street . '' 1982 : sale to the Limited ( edit ) Raymond 's philosophy of focusing on selling lingerie to male customers became increasingly unprofitable and Victoria 's Secret headed for bankruptcy . In 1982 , it had grown to five stores , a 40 - page catalog , and was grossing $6 million annually . Raymond sold Victoria 's Secret Inc. to Leslie Wexner , creator of Limited Stores Inc of Columbus , Ohio , for $1 million ( though the figure was not disclosed until later ) . 1983 : strategy change ( edit ) In 1983 , Leslie Wexner revamped Victoria 's Secret . He discarded the money - losing model of selling lingerie to male customers and replaced it with one that focused on female customers . Victoria 's Secret transformed from `` more burlesque than Main Street '' to a mainstay that sold broadly accepted underwear . The `` new colors , patterns and styles that promised sexiness packaged in a tasteful , glamorous way and with the snob appeal of European luxury '' were supposed to appeal to and appease female buyers . To further this image , the Victoria 's Secret catalog continued the practice that Raymond began : listing the company 's headquarters on catalogs at a fake London address , with the real headquarters in Columbus , Ohio . The stores were redesigned to evoke 19th century England . From at least 1985 through to 1993 , Victoria 's Secret sold men 's underwear . In 1986 , four years after the sale , The New York Times commented , `` in an industry where mark - downs have been the norm , the new emphasis is on style and service '' . 1983 -- 1990 : expansion into malls ( edit ) In the five years after the purchase , The Limited had transformed a three store boutique into a 346 store retailer . Howard Gross took over as president from his position as vice-president in 1985 . In October of that year , the Los Angeles Times reported that Victoria 's Secret was stealing market share from department stores ; in 1986 , Victoria 's Secret was the only national chain of lingerie stores . The New York Times reported on Victoria 's Secret 's rapid expansion from four stores in 1982 to 100 in 1986 , and analysts ' expectations that it could expand to 400 by 1988 . In 1987 , Victoria 's Secret was reportedly among the `` best - selling catalogs '' . In 1990 , analysts estimated that sales had quadrupled in four years , making it one of the fastest growing mail - order businesses . The New York Times described it as a `` highly visible leader '' , saying it used `` unabashedly sexy high - fashion photography to sell middle - priced underwear . '' Victoria 's Secret also released their own line of fragrances in 1992 . 1990 -- 1993 : persistent quality problems ( edit ) By the early 1990s , Victoria 's Secret faced a gap in management that led to the `` once hot lingerie chain '' to be `` plagued by persistent quality problems '' . Howard Gross , who had grown the company into a `` lingerie empire '' since Wexner 's 1982 purchase , was moved to poorly performing L Brands subsidiary Limited Stores . Business Week reported that `` both divisions have suffered '' . 1993 -- 1999 : Nichols resolves quality problems ( edit ) Grace Nichols , who was President and CEO at that time , worked to resolve the quality problems ; their margins tightened , resulting in a slower growth of profits . Victoria 's Secret introduced the Miracle Bra selling two million within the first year , but faced competition from Sara Lee 's WonderBra a year later . The company responded to their rival with a TV campaign . By 1998 , Victoria 's Secret 's market share of the intimate apparel market was 14 percent . That year Victoria 's Secret also entered the $3.5 billion cosmetic market . In 1999 , the company aimed to increase its coverage with the Body by Victoria brand . Early 2000s : decelerating growth leads to brand overhaul ( edit ) In May 2000 , Wexner installed Sharen Jester Turney , previously of Neiman Marcus Direct , as the new chief executive of Victoria 's Secret Direct to turn around catalog sales that were lagging behind other divisions . Forbes reported Turney articulating , as she flipped through a Victoria 's Secret catalog , `` We need to quit focusing on all that cleavage . '' In 2000 , Turney began to redefine Victoria 's Secret catalog from `` breasts -- spilling over the tops of black , purple and reptile - print underthings '' to one that would appeal to an `` upscale customer who now feels more comfortable buying La Perla or Wolford lingerie . '' ; `` dimming the hooker looks '' such as `` tight jeans and stilettos '' ; and moving from `` a substitute for Playboy in some dorm rooms , '' to something closer to a Vogue lifestyle layout , where lingerie , sleepwear , clothes and cosmetics appear throughout the catalog . Beginning in 2000 , Grace Nichols , CEO of Victoria 's Secret Direct , led a similar change at Victoria 's Secret 's stores -- moving away from an evocation of 1800s England ( or a Victorian bordello ) . 2006 -- 2008 : growth ( edit ) By 2006 , Victoria 's Secret 's 1,000 stores across the United States accounted for one third of all purchases in the intimate apparel industry . In May 2006 , Wexner promoted Sharen Jester Turney from the Victoria 's Secret catalog and online units to lead the whole company . In 2008 , she acknowledged `` product quality that does n't equal the brand 's hype '' . In September 2006 , Victoria 's Secret reportedly tried to make their catalog feel more like magazines by head - hunting writers from Women 's Wear Daily . 2016 -- present : resignation of Turney ( edit ) In February 2016 , Turney stepped down as CEO of Victoria 's Secret after serving for a decade . Products ( edit ) Current products ( edit ) Pink ( edit ) Victoria 's Secret Pink Store NYC Main article : Pink ( Victoria 's Secret ) Swimwear ( edit ) In 2002 , swimwear was introduced and available via the web site and catalog ; in the last three years , the swimwear has become more readily available in stores . In April of 2016 Chairman and CEO Leslie H. Wexner released this statement reported by E ! News : `` Coming off a record year , now is the best time to make improvements ... going to from best to even better . We are making those changes to accelerate our growth and to strengthen the business for the long term by narrowing our focus and simplifying our operating model . '' `` I am certain that these changes are necessary for our industry - leading brands to reach their significant potential ... nonetheless , decisions about people are the most difficult ones to make , and we are taking care to support associates who are being affected by these changes . '' Recent product history ( edit ) In 2010 , Victoria 's Secret launched the Incredible bra . In 2012 , Victoria 's Secret launched the Victoria 's Secret Designer Collection described by Vogue as the company 's `` first high end lingerie line . '' In 2016 , Victoria 's Secret stopped selling swimwear , shoes , accessories and apparel that were only sold in online Victoria 's Secret stores to stay more focused on the lingerie , fragrances and sleepwear that are still available in stores and online . In 2017 Victoria 's Secret began to put more emphasis on bralettes ( bras without underwire , often intended to be worn visibly ) and sports bras ( under the Victoria Sport label ) to appeal to a younger customer base . Victoria 's Secret sales Victoria 's Secret products that are left over after the season are sold at reduced prices through their online store . Large sales occur on Black Friday and the twice yearly Semi-Annual Sale . In addition , the Victoria 's Secret online store runs a continual series of temporary special offers , most of which require the customer to enter a promotion code during checkout . Industry ( edit ) Competitors ( edit ) In 1998 , Gap launched a direct competitor to Victoria 's Secret : GapBody . In 2008 , Women 's Wear Daily reported that while `` Victoria 's Secret dominates '' in the lingerie market `` the competition is intensifying '' . American Eagle Outfitters also launched a direct competitor to Victoria 's Secret , the underwear line Aerie , which is currently their biggest competitor within the younger customers . In 2015 Lane Bryant took a direct dig with their I 'm No Angel campaign geared towards plus size women and placing emphasizes on sizes not carried by Victoria 's Secret . Reception ( edit ) Victoria 's Secret is known for its catalogs and its annual fashion show , the Victoria 's Secret Fashion Show , and has been credited with single - handedly transforming `` America 's conception of lingerie '' by pioneering `` sexy underwear as fashion '' and `` lingerie mainstream entertainment . '' The societal manifestation is `` the increased cultural acceptance of shopping for undies '' in the United States . Victoria 's Secret is credited with `` transforming lingerie from a slightly embarrassing taboo into an accessible , even routine accessory . '' In 2006 , The New York Times reported that traditional fashion was influenced by intimate apparel `` in part because of the influence of Victoria 's Secret -- and ubiquitous , sexually charged come - hither marketing . '' Operating divisions ( edit ) Victoria 's Secret on Lexington Avenue , New York Victoria Secret 's operations are organized into three divisions : Victoria 's Secret Stores ( stores ) , Victoria 's Secret Direct ( online and catalog operations ) , and Victoria 's Secret Beauty ( their bath and cosmetics line ) . The company does business in the following retail formats : general merchandise stores , apparel stores .

Boudoirish . Tony . Upscale .

The drive to continue growing coupled with facing a maturing of the American retail market led to a change in that decision and to expand Victoria 's Secret outside the United States . Victoria 's Secret announced the company 's plan to expand into Canada in 2010 . The company opened 23 stores stores in Canada with locations in Alberta , British Columbia , Manitoba , Ontario , Quebec , Nova Scotia and Saskatchewan . In November 2005 , the company opened its first boutique in the United Kingdom at Heathrow Airport , Terminal 5 with the help of World Duty Free .

Since 2013 , stores opened across the United Kingdom in Leeds , Manchester , Sheffield , Birmingham , Bristol and London including Westfield London , Bluewater and Brent Cross . As of 2016 , there are 15 stores in the United Kingdom . International franchises ( edit ) In 2010 , Victoria 's Secret expanded with franchises internationally .

Alshaya Co. opened the first Victoria 's Secret store in the Middle East region in Kuwait . M.H.

The catalog under Raymond 's leadership took the form of an upmarket version of Frederick 's of Hollywood lingerie catalog being more sensuous than the catalog published under the future leadership of The Limited . In 1982 the Victoria 's Secret catalog cost $3 . The New York Times reported that the financial success of Victoria 's Secret catalogs influenced other catalogs , which changed to present lingerie as `` romantic and sensual but tasteful '' `` in which models are photographed in ladylike poses against elegant backgrounds . '' This led to Victoria 's Secret dominating the catalog field for `` lingerie and sexy nightwear . '' The catalogs allowed for consumers to review the entire spectrum of product offerings , along the axes of style , color and fabric . Victoria 's Secret accepted catalog orders via telephone 24 hours a day . Victoria 's Secret 's catalog offers a more diverse range of merchandise . The Los Angeles Times described the catalog in 2000 as having achieved `` an almost cult - like following . '' E-commerce ( edit ) In 1995 Victoria 's Secret began building its e-commerce website which the company launched after three years of development at 6 p.m. December 4 , 1998 , using the domain VictoriasSecret.com . Twenty minutes later the first order was placed on the website from a Littleton , Colorado , customer at 6 : 20 p.m. It was reported that the three year development was a result of the company 's concern of rolling out a half - baked website that could `` discourage return visits '' . Viewers who logged onto the Victoria 's Secret 's website to view the company 's first webcast of their fashion show on February 3 , 1999 , were unable to view the webcast due to the Internet infrastructure Victoria Secret 's selected was unable to meet user demand causing some users to be unable to view the webcast . Victoria 's Secret Beauty ( edit ) The Limited , Inc in 1998 created Intimate Beauty Corporation with a mandate to establish a group of beauty businesses with Victoria 's Secret Beauty being the first company in the firm 's portfolio . In November 2012 Susie Coulter became president of Victoria 's Secret Beauty ; the company 's beauty division located in New York City Corporate affairs ( edit ) Ownership ( edit ) Victoria 's Secret was originally owned by `` The Limited '' . In 2002 Wexner reincorporated Victoria 's Secret into the Limited ; previously Victoria 's Secret 's parent company was Intimate Brands , a separately traded entity whose President was Ed Razek . By 2006 , 72 % of Limited Brands ' revenue -- and almost all of their profits -- came from their Victoria 's Secret and Bath & Body Works units . On July 10 , 2007 , the Victoria 's Secret parent company , Limited Brands , sold a 75 % interest in their apparel brands , Limited Stores and Express to Sun Capital Partners , to focus on expanding their Victoria 's Secret and Bath & Body Works units . The immediate impact of the sale resulted in Limited Brands taking a $42 million after - tax loss . Management structure ( edit ) Victoria 's Secret stores ( edit ) In 1985 , Howard Gross was promoted to president from vice president . In 1991 Grace Nichols replaced Gross as president of Victoria 's Secret Stores . Nichols previously had been `` executive vice president and general merchandise manager of Limited 's lingerie division . '' In 1998 , Cynthia A. Fields became the president & chief executive of the company ( when it was a division of Intimate Brands Inc . ) . Victoria 's Secret Direct ( edit ) In May 2000 , Wexner installed Sharen Jester Turney , who had previously worked at Neiman Marcus Direct , as the new chief executive of Victoria 's Secret Direct . Victoria 's Secret Beauty ( edit ) Victoria 's Secret Beauty logo In May 2006 , Christine Beauchamp was named president and CEO of Victoria 's Secret Beauty . Beauchamp was succeeded by Shashi Batra in 2009 , who became president of Victoria 's Secret Beauty . Robin Burns was CEO of Victoria 's Secret Beauty . Environmental record ( edit ) After two years of pressure from environmentalist groups , Victoria 's Secret 's parent firm and a conservation group reached an agreement to make the lingerie retailer 's catalog more environmentally friendly in 2006 . The catalog would no longer be made of pulp supplied from any woodland caribou habitat range in Canada , unless it has been certified by the Forest Stewardship Council . The catalogs will also be made of 10 percent recycled paper . The company has bought organic and fair trade - grown cotton to make some of its panties . Legal proceedings ( edit ) On March 4 , 2003 , the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against Victoria 's Secret in Moseley v. V Secret Catalogue , Inc. that there must be proof of actual harm to the trademark . Manufacturing ( edit ) In 2006 it was reported that Victoria 's Secret paid workers $7 per day to make bras for them in Thai factories . One - tenth of all Victoria 's Secret bras are sourced via Intimate Fashions , a manufacturer with factories in the South Indian city of Guduvanchery . As a by - result of the Jordan -- United States Free Trade Agreement , which retreated from standards established in the 1990s , working conditions in Jordan have been compared to slave labour . Corporate identity ( edit ) Name ( edit ) Prior to the 1982 sale , the company 's business name was Victoria 's Secret , Inc. then afterwards the name was changed to Victoria 's Secret Stores , Inc . In 2005 , the company changed to Victoria 's Secret Stores , LLC . Marketing Partners ( edit ) In the early 1980s , Victoria 's Secret used FCB / Leber Katz Partners for the development of their brand , marketing , and advertising . In 1989 , FCB / Leber Katz Partners and Victoria 's Secret executed a national advertising campaign featuring for the first time in the company 's history a ten - page glossy insert that appeared in the November issue of Elle , Vogue , Vanity Fair , Victoria , House Beautiful , Bon Appetit , New Woman , and People magazines . Victoria 's Secret used the insert to announce their expansion into the toiletries and fragrance business . Up until the ten - page insert , the company 's growth had been driven by their catalog , sporadic ads in fashion publications , and word of mouth . Catalogs were discontinued in early 2016 . Marketing ( edit ) Victoria 's Secret Over the course of the company 's evolution , Victoria 's Secret `` has gone from being value - driven to creating a luxury - shopping experience and an aura of fashion associated with its product '' which has been driven marketing . The Victoria 's Secret Fashion Show is an annual `` elaborate marketing tool for Limited Brands '' . The show is a mix of `` beautiful models scantily clad in lingerie '' and A-list entertainers `` And every year , it becomes less about fashion and more about show '' . The company gained notoriety in the early 1990s after it began to use supermodels in its advertising and fashion shows . Throughout the 2000s , Victoria 's Secret has turned down celebrity models and endorsements . In 1999 , Victoria 's Secret 's 30 second Super Bowl advertisement led to one million visits to the company 's website within an hour of airing . In 2004 , Victoria 's Secret featured Bob Dylan in an advertisement to test new marketing possibilities while Victoria 's Secret dropped their fashion show for 2004 as a result of the fallout from the Janet Jackson / Super Bowl incident that caused complaints from women 's groups . The brand turned to social networking in 2009 , opening an official Facebook page and later on official Twitter and Pinterest accounts . It also expanded its website to feature behind - the - scenes content about its catalog and commercial shoots , as well as its fashion show . The company created a campaign to market its `` Body '' bra line called `` The Perfect Body . '' The campaign has elicited substantial controversy , with many sources saying it will lower women 's self - esteem because it does not embrace all body types . Victoria 's Secret fashion show ( edit ) Main article : Victoria 's Secret Fashion Show Kelly Gale at Victoria 's Secret Fashion Show , 2014 . In 1995 , Victoria 's Secret began holding their annual Victoria 's Secret Fashion Show , which is broadcast on primetime American television . Starting with the 1995 fashion show , they are `` a combination of self - assured strutting for women and voyeuristic pleasures for men -- and lingerie becomes mainstream entertainment . '' Ken Weil , vice president at Victoria 's Secret , and Tim Plzak , responsible for IT at Victoria 's Secret 's parent company Intimate Brands , led Victoria 's Secret 's first - ever online streaming of their fashion show in 1999 . The 18 minutes webcast streamed February 2 , 1999 , was at the time the Internet 's `` biggest event '' since inception . The 1999 webcast was reported as a failure by a number of newspapers on account of some user 's inability to watch the show featuring Tyra Banks , Heidi Klum , and Stephanie Seymour as a result of Victoria 's Secret 's technology falling short being able to meet the online user demand resulting in network congestion and users who could see the webcast receiving jerky frames . In all , the company 's website saw over 1.5 million visits while the Broadcast. com 's computer 's were designed to handle between 250,000 and 500,000 simultaneous viewers . In total , 1.5 million viewers either attempted or viewed the webcast . The 1999 webcast served to create a database for Victoria 's Secret of over 500,000 current and potential customers by requiring users to submit their contact details to view the webcast . The next spring Victoria 's Secret avoided technical issues by partnering with Broadcast.com , America Online , and Microsoft . The 2000 webcast attracted more than two million viewers . By 2011 , the budget for the fashion show was $12 million up from the first show 's budget of $120,000 . Victoria 's Secret Angels ( edit ) Main article : List of Victoria 's Secret models Victoria 's Secret started working with renowned models in the early 1990s , with the hiring of Stephanie Seymour , Karen Mulder , Yasmeen Ghauri , and Jill Goodacre . These models helped the brand gain notice and soon enough were featured in televised commercials . Veronica Webb is one of the original Victoria 's Secret model . Angels is one of Victoria 's Secret 's lingerie lines , which was launched in 1997 , with a commercial featuring Helena Christensen , Karen Mulder , Daniela Peštová , Stephanie Seymour , and Tyra Banks as well as pop star Tom Jones . The commercial was a major success and the Angels began to be featured in various commercials , alongside other contract models for the brand such as Yasmeen Ghauri , Inés Rivero , and Laetitia Casta . From then onwards , the term Angel started to become synonymous with being a contracted spokesmodel for the brand and in February 1998 , the Angels made their runway debut at Victoria 's Secret 's 4th annual fashion show , with Chandra North filling in for Christensen . Seymour , Mulder , Pestova , Banks , Casta , and Heidi Klum were all featured in both of Victoria 's Secret webcast and took part in the promotion as the brand 's contract models . Starting 2001 , the show has been televised and usually features the year 's Angel line - up at the start of the show , starting with Pestova , Banks , Klum , and Gisele Bundchen In 2004 , due to the Super Bowl controversy , instead of a televised show , Victoria 's Secret sent its five contract models ( Banks , Klum , Bundchen , Adriana Lima , and Alessandra Ambrosio ) on a tour called Angels Across America , as by then , the word had become synonymous with Victoria 's Secret spokesmodels . The last original Angel , Tyra Banks , departed the following year , as Karolina Kurkova , Selita Ebanks , and Izabel Goulart were hired . Among other recognitions , the Victoria 's Secret Angels were chosen to be part of People magazine 's annual `` 100 Most Beautiful People in the World '' issue in 2007 and became the first trademark awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on November 13 , 2007 , with Klum , Lima , Ambrosio , Kurkova , Goulart , Ebanks , Marisa Miller , and Miranda Kerr at hand . Alongside new Angel Doutzen Kroes , they also took part in the grand reopening of the Fontainebleau in Miami in 2008 . In 2009 , it was widely reported that Candice Swanepoel , Rosie Huntington - Whiteley , Chanel Iman , Emanuela de Paula and Lindsay Ellingson had been hired by the brand . However , De Paula was absent from the fashion show and Erin Heatherton was credited in her place , alongside the Angels ( Klum , Ambrosio , Kerr , Miller , Kroes , and Behati Prinsloo , with Lima being on maternity leave ) . The brand also held a nationwide competition to hire a new `` runway Angel '' ( as are dubbed all the models who walk in the show ) , Kylie Bisutti was crowned as the winner but soon parted ways with the brand . In the following year - and - a-half Swanepoel , Huntington - Whiteley , Iman , Heatherton , and Ellingson all were revealed as Angels . Various tours have been held featuring the Angels , such as the Bombshell Tour in 2010 ( featuring Laura Croggon , Sophia Timpano , Katie Bryan , and new recruit Lily Aldridge ) , a VSX tour in 2013 ( featuring Swanepoel , Ambrosio , Ellingson , and Aldridge ) and a Swim Tour in 2013 ( featuring Swanepoel , Ellingson , and Heatherton ) . The Angels have been heavily featured on the brand 's social media , including on a short - lived Facebook application in 2013 - 2014 highlighting the Angels ( then including Lima , Swanepoel , Ellingson , Aldridge , and Karlie Kloss ) as well as Lais Ribeiro , Toni Garrn , and Barbara Palvin . Ellingson , Kroes , and Kloss all departed soon after the 2014 fashion show , leaving the brand with only 5 Angels . In 2015 , the Angels as well as models Elsa Hosk , Joan Smalls , Lais Ribeiro , Martha Hunt , Jasmine Tookes , Stella Maxwell , and Monika ' Jac ' Jagaciak were featured on the brand 's first ever Swim Special . Soon after , in the brand 's biggest group hiring ever , all but Smalls were revealed as Angels , along with longtime catalog regulars Lais Ribeiro and Sara Sampaio as well as Kate Grigorieva , Taylor Marie Hill , and Romee Strijd . The following year , Jagaciak and Griegorieva exited , while catalog regular Josephine Skriver was added to the roster . Other notable spokesmodels for the brand have included : Claudia Schiffer , Eva Herzigová , Oluchi Onweagba , Jessica Stam , Ana Beatriz Barros , and Bregje Heinen as well as a handful of celebrities such as Taylor Momsen .

'' These norms tell women that they are valued for their bodies , physical appearance , and scale of attractiveness . Girls as young as 10 years old start dieting because they are struggling with their weight and body perception . This will continue throughout their life span . Victoria 's Secret sends a message to these adolescent girls and women that their models are the standard of beauty . The models are shown on TV commercials , ads , and magazines meaning it is seen on an everyday basis . Girls are comparing themselves with these high unrealistic standards that is captivated by the media . Women in these ads are highly objectified , idealized , and sexualized . If women feel they have to live up to this sociocultural norm standard , it is only telling men that it is okay to objectify and sexualize women . The article concludes by stating : `` Exposure to societal messages that reflect the sociocultural norm for ideal appearance has a negative effect on women . '' Formaldehyde lawsuits -- 2009 In 2009 , Victoria 's Secret was sued several times . The lawsuits alleged that defective underwear contained formaldehyde that caused severe rashes on women who wore them . Six cases were filed in Ohio and two in Florida . At least 17 other suits were filed in six other states after January 2008 . The plaintiff refused to submit to a simple patch test to determine the precise cause of her reaction and her case was later withdrawn . The Formaldehyde Council issued a statement that formaldehyde quickly dissipates in air , water and sunlight . Child labor -- 2012 In 2012 , a Victoria 's Secret supplier was investigated for use of child labor in harvesting cotton used to make its products . Zephyrs lawsuit -- 2012 Also in 2012 , Victoria 's Secret was sued by Zephyrs , `` accused of breaching a 2001 agreement and selling cheap ' knockoffs ' of the company 's stockings . '' Go East lingerie collection -- 2012 The company drew criticism for a newly released lingerie collection titled `` Go East '' whose tagline pledged to women the capacity to `` indulge in touches of eastern delight with lingerie inspired by the exquisite beauty of secret Japanese gardens . '' The collection included a mesh teddy `` Sexy Little Geisha '' featuring `` flirty cutouts and Eastern - inspired florals '' . The Wall Street Journal reported that the collection was `` accessorized with a miniature fan and a kimono-esque obi sash . '' Victoria 's Secret removed the Asian - themed collection `` that traded in sexualized , generic pan-Asian ethnic stereotypes . '' Perfect body campaign -- 2014 In 2014 , a petition against the newly released lingerie collection called `` Body '' was created when the poster ads displayed the words ' THE PERFECT `` BODY '' ' over well - known VS Angels . The petition , while becoming popular across social media , demanded that Victoria 's Secret `` apologise and take responsibility for the unhealthy and damaging message that their ' Perfect Body ' campaign sends out about women 's bodies and how they should be judged . '' The petition also demanded a change in the wording on Victoria 's Secret advertisements for their bra range Body , to something that does not promote unhealthy and unrealistic standards of beauty , '' asking the company to not use such harmful marketing in the future . Petitioners created the hashtag `` # iamperfect '' , which trended on Twitter for body shaming women . The petition had over 30,000 signatures . Although there was never a formal apology released , Victoria 's Secret took note of the petition and changed the words on their ad campaign to ' A BODY FOR EVERY BODY . ' Cultural Appropriation - 2016 At the 2016 Victoria 's Secret Fashion Show , the brand was accused of `` cultural appropriation '' during the segment `` The Road Ahead '' that drew inspiration from Chinese culture . Kendall Jenner 's flame tail , Elsa Hosk 's dragon costume , and Adriana Lima 's embroidered thigh - high boots is what caused an uproar because many fans thought that it was inappropriate for women of other cultures to wear those items that meant so much to the Chinese culture . The reason behind Victoria 's Secret including this segment to the 2016 fashion show is because of their recent expansion into the Chinese market . They thought it would be a good way to appeal to the new Chinese customer . No apology or statement was released from the brand .

Contents ( hide ) 1 Early life 2 Career 3 Personal life 4 Filmography 4.1 Film 4.2 Television 4.3 Video games 5 References 6 External links Early life ( edit ) Wilson was born in Philadelphia , Pennsylvania , and raised in nearby Wayne , Pennsylvania . While attending Radnor High School , he was involved in dramatic arts ; was president of the debate team , where his partner was future New York Times columnist David Brooks ; and played tuba in the high school band and was drum major of his marching band . He studied international politics at Arizona State University . Wilson attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City . While in New York , he got his first `` real '' stage experience as a comedian . Career ( edit ) In the early 1980s , Wilson moved to Los Angeles to further pursue his career . He shared an apartment with fellow aspiring comedians Andrew Dice Clay and Yakov Smirnoff , and later joked that he `` taught them both about America . '' Wilson had a small role in the second season of NBC 's Knight Rider in an episode titled `` A Knight In Shining Armor '' . His breakthrough role was the bully Biff Tannen in the 1985 film Back to the Future . He returned in the sequels Back to the Future Part II and Part III to reprise not only his role as Biff , but also to play Biff 's grandson Griff Tannen and great - grandfather Buford `` Mad Dog '' Tannen . His famous catchphrases include : `` Hello ! Hello ! Anybody home ? Think , McFly , think ! '' , `` What are you looking at , Butthead ? '' , `` Say hi to your mom for me '' , and `` Why do n't you make like a tree ; and get outta here '' .

Fox 's character Marty McFly . He reprised his role as Biff and voiced various Tannen relatives in the animated series . Wilson did not reprise his role as Biff in the initial versions of Telltale 's Back to the Future : The Game released in 2011 , being replaced by Kid Beyond . When the game was ported to the PlayStation 4 , Xbox 360 and Xbox One in 2015 in commemoration of the original film 's 30th anniversary , Wilson returned to provide Biff 's voice in these newer versions . Wilson played the role of a Detroit police officer in the 1988 film Action Jackson .

He later went to co-star in Wing Commander III : Heart of the Tiger , a video game with Mark Hamill . It was the third chapter in the Wing Commander series , but the first to feature live action and was extremely popular at the time . The character played by Wilson was Major Todd `` Maniac '' Marshall , a fellow starfighter pilot of Hamill 's character . Wilson also starred in the sequels Wing Commander IV : The Price of Freedom ( 1995 ) and Wing Commander : Prophecy ( 1997 ) and contributed his voice to the animated series Wing Commander Academy ( 1996 ) in the same role . He also guest starred in an episode of Lois and Clark : The New Adventures of Superman in 1997 . Wilson played McKinley High School 's Coach Ben Fredricks in the 1999 -- 2000 NBC comedy - drama Freaks and Geeks . Coach Fredricks dated Bill Haverchuck 's mother . Wilson was briefly reunited with his Back to the Future co-star Christopher Lloyd in the 1994 film Camp Nowhere . Wilson also played Simon , Hilda 's dream date made out of dough , in Sabrina the Teenage Witch in 1996 . Wilson has done a bit of voice - over work for the acclaimed Nickelodeon TV show SpongeBob SquarePants . He has voiced particular villainous characters that are physically strong and / or menacing , such as Flatz the Flounder in the second season episode The Bully , and The Strangler in SpongeBob Meets the Strangler , and the non-villainous character Reg the Club Bouncer in No Weenies Allowed .

As well as the animated roles , he has continued to voice characters in computer and video games . He had supporting roles in the film Larry the Cable Guy : Health Inspector and the TV drama Ghost Whisperer . In 2004 , Wilson played the role of Noah Curry in the Pasadena Playhouse production of the musical 110 in the Shade , also starring Marin Mazzie and Jason Danieley . In 2005 , Wilson released his comedy album , Tom Wilson Is Funny ! .

In 2008 , Wilson appeared in the episode `` The Baby in the Bough '' of another Fox drama , Bones . He played Chip Barnett , owner of a tire recycling plant . Wilson appeared in an episode of the ABC drama Boston Legal ( Season 4 , Episode 7 ) , `` Attack of the Xenophobes '' , as a former police officer who is charged with murder . Wilson performed `` Sleigh Ride '' with Relient K on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno , playing acoustic guitar . The members of Relient K are fans of Wilson and invited him to perform on the show with them . In March 2009 , he appeared as himself , busking , in Vidiotic , a comedy pilot on the British channel BBC Three . He has hosted a podcast , Big Pop Fun , on the Nerdist Network starting in November 2011 . The podcast features Tom sharing stories of his career , as well as informal chats with show business friends including Samm Levine , Blake Clark , Steve Oedekerk , `` Weird Al '' Yankovic , and more . He also provided additional voices for Star Wars : The Old Republic , Timon & Pumbaa , The Pink Panther , Boris and Natasha : The Movie , Mad , Disney 's Teacher 's Pet , Family Guy , Marmaduke and Disney 's 101 Dalmatians : The Series .

Wilson practices Catholicism , and released a Contemporary Christian album in 2000 called In the Name of the Father . With the rise in popularity of the Back to the Future series , many people began to ask him questions about his experiences making the films . Wilson found the repetitive nature of the questions to be so amusing and annoying that he wrote a song about them titled `` Biff 's Question Song '' which he now features regularly in his stand - up routine .

Olmec
Olmec - wikipedia Olmec Jump to : navigation , search Olmec Head No. 3 from San Lorenzo Tenochtitlan 1200 -- 900 BCE `` The Wrestler '' , an Olmec era statuette , 1400 -- 400 BCE Olmec jadeite mask 1000 -- 600 BCE The Olmecs were the earliest known major civilization in Mexico following a progressive development in Soconusco . They lived in the tropical lowlands of south - central Mexico , in the present - day states of Veracruz and Tabasco . It has been speculated that the Olmecs derive in part from neighboring Mokaya or Mixe -- Zoque . The Olmecs flourished during Mesoamerica 's formative period , dating roughly from as early as 1500 BCE to about 400 BCE . Pre-Olmec cultures had flourished in the area since about 2500 BCE , but by 1600 -- 1500 BCE , early Olmec culture had emerged , centered on the San Lorenzo Tenochtitlán site near the coast in southeast Veracruz . They were the first Mesoamerican civilization , and laid many of the foundations for the civilizations that followed . Among other `` firsts '' , the Olmec appeared to practice ritual bloodletting and played the Mesoamerican ballgame , hallmarks of nearly all subsequent Mesoamerican societies . The aspect of the Olmecs most familiar now is their artwork , particularly the aptly named `` colossal heads '' . The Olmec civilization was first defined through artifacts which collectors purchased on the pre-Columbian art market in the late 19th century and early 20th century . Olmec artworks are considered among ancient America 's most striking .

This word is composed of the two words ōlli ( ˈoːlːi ) , meaning `` rubber '' , and mēcatl ( ˈmeːkat͡ɬ ) , meaning `` people '' , so the word means `` rubber people '' . Overview ( edit ) The Olmec heartland , where the Olmec reigned from 1400 -- 400 BCE The Olmec heartland is the area in the Gulf lowlands where it expanded after early development in Soconusco . This area is characterized by swampy lowlands punctuated by low hills , ridges , and volcanoes . The Tuxtlas Mountains rise sharply in the north , along the Gulf of Mexico 's Bay of Campeche . Here , the Olmec constructed permanent city - temple complexes at San Lorenzo Tenochtitlán , La Venta , Tres Zapotes , and Laguna de los Cerros . In this region , the first Mesoamerican civilization emerged and reigned from c. 1400 -- 400 BCE . Origins ( edit ) Main article : San Lorenzo Tenochtitlán The beginnings of Olmec civilization have traditionally been placed between 1400 and 1200 BCE . Past finds of Olmec remains ritually deposited at El Manati shrine ( near San Lorenzo ) moved this back to `` at least '' 1600 -- 1500 BCE . It seems that the Olmec had their roots in early farming cultures of Tabasco , which began between 5100 BCE and 4600 BCE . These shared the same basic food crops and technologies of the later Olmec civilization . What is today called Olmec first appeared fully within the city of San Lorenzo Tenochtitlán , where distinctive Olmec features occurred around 1400 BCE . The rise of civilization was assisted by the local ecology of well - watered alluvial soil , as well as by the transportation network provided by the Coatzacoalcos River basin . This environment may be compared to that of other ancient centers of civilization : the Nile , Indus , and Yellow River valleys , and Mesopotamia . This highly productive environment encouraged a densely concentrated population , which in turn triggered the rise of an elite class . The elite class created the demand for the production of the symbolic and sophisticated luxury artifacts that define Olmec culture . Many of these luxury artifacts were made from materials such as jade , obsidian , and magnetite , which came from distant locations and suggest that early Olmec elites had access to an extensive trading network in Mesoamerica . The source of the most valued jade was the Motagua River valley in eastern Guatemala , and Olmec obsidian has been traced to sources in the Guatemala highlands , such as El Chayal and San Martín Jilotepeque , or in Puebla , distances ranging from 200 to 400 km ( 120 -- 250 miles ) away , respectively . The state of Guerrero , and in particular its early Mezcala culture , seem to have played an important role in the early history of Olmec culture . Olmec - style artifacts tend to appear earlier in some parts of Guerrero than in the Veracruz - Tabasco area . In particular , the relevant objects from the Amuco - Abelino site in Guerrero reveal dates as early as 1530 BCE . The city of Teopantecuanitlan in Guerrero is also relevant in this regard . La Venta ( edit ) Main article : La Venta Great pyramid in La Venta , Tabasco The first Olmec center , San Lorenzo , was all but abandoned around 900 BCE at about the same time that La Venta rose to prominence . A wholesale destruction of many San Lorenzo monuments also occurred circa 950 BCE , which may indicate an internal uprising or , less likely , an invasion . The latest thinking , however , is that environmental changes may have been responsible for this shift in Olmec centers , with certain important rivers changing course . In any case , following the decline of San Lorenzo , La Venta became the most prominent Olmec center , lasting from 900 BCE until its abandonment around 400 BCE . La Venta sustained the Olmec cultural traditions with spectacular displays of power and wealth . The Great Pyramid was the largest Mesoamerican structure of its time . Even today , after 2500 years of erosion , it rises 34 m ( 112 ft ) above the naturally flat landscape . Buried deep within La Venta lay opulent , labor - intensive `` offerings '' -- 1000 tons of smooth serpentine blocks , large mosaic pavements , and at least 48 separate deposits of polished jade celts , pottery , figurines , and hematite mirrors . Decline ( edit ) Scholars have yet to determine the cause of the eventual extinction of the Olmec culture . Between 400 and 350 BCE , the population in the eastern half of the Olmec heartland dropped precipitously , and the area was sparsely inhabited until the 19th century . According to archaeologists , this depopulation was probably the result of `` very serious environmental changes that rendered the region unsuited for large groups of farmers '' , in particular changes to the riverine environment that the Olmec depended upon for agriculture , hunting and gathering , and transportation . These changes may have been triggered by tectonic upheavals or subsidence , or the silting up of rivers due to agricultural practices . One theory for the considerable population drop during the Terminal Formative period is suggested by Santley and colleagues ( Santley et al. 1997 ) , who propose the relocation of settlements due to volcanism , instead of extinction . Volcanic eruptions during the Early , Late and Terminal Formative periods would have blanketed the lands and forced the Olmec to move their settlements . Whatever the cause , within a few hundred years of the abandonment of the last Olmec cities , successor cultures became firmly established . The Tres Zapotes site , on the western edge of the Olmec heartland , continued to be occupied well past 400 BCE , but without the hallmarks of the Olmec culture . This post-Olmec culture , often labeled Epi - Olmec , has features similar to those found at Izapa , some 550 km ( 330 miles ) to the southeast . Art ( edit ) Fish Vessel , 12th -- 9th century BCE . Height : 6.5 inches ( 16.5 cm ) . Olmec white ware `` hollow baby '' figurine . The Olmec culture was first defined as an art style , and this continues to be the hallmark of the culture . Wrought in a large number of media -- jade , clay , basalt , and greenstone among others -- much Olmec art , such as The Wrestler , is naturalistic . Other art expresses fantastic anthropomorphic creatures , often highly stylized , using an iconography reflective of a religious meaning . Common motifs include downturned mouths and a cleft head , both of which are seen in representations of were - jaguars . In addition to making human and human - like subjects , Olmec artisans were adept at animal portrayals ; for example , the fish vessel to the right or the bird vessel in the gallery below . While Olmec figurines are found abundantly in sites throughout the Formative Period , the stone monuments such as the colossal heads are the most recognizable feature of Olmec culture . These monuments can be divided into four classes : Colossal heads ( which can be up to 3 m ( 10 ft ) tall ) ; Rectangular `` altars '' ( more likely thrones ) such as Altar 5 shown below ; Free - standing in - the - round sculpture , such as the twins from El Azuzul or San Martin Pajapan Monument 1 ; and Stelae , such as La Venta Monument 19 above . The stelae form was generally introduced later than the colossal heads , altars , or free - standing sculptures . Over time , the stelae changed from simple representation of figures , such as Monument 19 or La Venta Stela 1 , toward representations of historical events , particularly acts legitimizing rulers . This trend would culminate in post-Olmec monuments such as La Mojarra Stela 1 , which combines images of rulers with script and calendar dates . Colossal heads ( edit ) Main article : Olmec colossal heads The most recognized aspect of the Olmec civilization are the enormous helmeted heads . As no known pre-Columbian text explains them , these impressive monuments have been the subject of much speculation . Once theorized to be ballplayers , it is now generally accepted that these heads are portraits of rulers , perhaps dressed as ballplayers . Infused with individuality , no two heads are alike and the helmet - like headdresses are adorned with distinctive elements , suggesting personal or group symbols . Some have also speculated that Mesoamerican people believed that the soul , along with all of one 's experiences and emotions , was contained inside the head . Seventeen colossal heads have been unearthed to date . Site Count Designations San Lorenzo 10 Colossal Heads 1 through 10 La Venta Monuments 1 through 4 Tres Zapotes Monuments A & Q Rancho la Cobata Monument 1 The heads range in size from the Rancho La Cobata head , at 3.4 m ( 11 ft ) high , to the pair at Tres Zapotes , at 1.47 m ( 4 ft 10 in ) . Scholars calculate that the largest heads weigh between 25 and 55 tonnes ( 28 and 61 short tons ) . `` Olmec - style '' face mask in jade The heads were carved from single blocks or boulders of volcanic basalt , found in the Tuxtlas Mountains . The Tres Zapotes heads , for example , were sculpted from basalt found at the summit of Cerro el Vigía , at the western end of the Tuxtlas . The San Lorenzo and La Venta heads , on the other hand , were probably carved from the basalt of Cerro Cintepec , on the southeastern side , perhaps at the nearby Llano del Jicaro workshop , and dragged or floated to their final destination dozens of miles away . It has been estimated that moving a colossal head required the efforts of 1,500 people for three to four months . Some of the heads , and many other monuments , have been variously mutilated , buried and disinterred , reset in new locations and / or reburied . Some monuments , and at least two heads , were recycled or recarved , but it is not known whether this was simply due to the scarcity of stone or whether these actions had ritual or other connotations . Scholars believe that some mutilation had significance beyond mere destruction , but some scholars still do not rule out internal conflicts or , less likely , invasion as a factor . The flat - faced , thick - lipped heads have caused some debate due to their resemblance to some African facial characteristics . Based on this comparison , some writers have said that the Olmecs were Africans who had emigrated to the New World . But , the vast majority of archaeologists and other Mesoamerican scholars reject claims of pre-Columbian contacts with Africa . Explanations for the facial features of the colossal heads include the possibility that the heads were carved in this manner due to the shallow space allowed on the basalt boulders . Others note that in addition to the broad noses and thick lips , the eyes of the heads often show the epicanthic fold , and that all these characteristics can still be found in modern Mesoamerican Indians . For instance , in the 1940s , the artist / art historian Miguel Covarrubias published a series of photos of Olmec artworks and of the faces of modern Mexican Indians with very similar facial characteristics . The African origin hypothesis assumes that Olmec carving was intended to be a representation of the inhabitants , an assumption that is hard to justify given the full corpus of representation in Olmec carving . Ivan van Sertima claimed that the seven braids on the Tres Zapotes head was an Ethiopian hair style but he offered no evidence that this was an Ethiopian hair style at the appropriate time . The Egyptologist Frank Yurco has said that the Olmec braids do not resemble contemporary Egyptian or Nubian braids . Richard Diehl wrote `` There can be no doubt that the heads depict the American Indian physical type still seen on the streets of Soteapan , Acayucan , and other towns in the region . '' Jade face masks ( edit ) Another type of artifact is much smaller ; hardstone carvings in jade of a face in a mask form . Jade is a particularly precious material , and it was used as a mark of rank by the ruling classes . By 1500 BC early Olmec sculptors mastered the human form . This can be determined by wooden Olmec sculptures discovered in the swampy bogs of El Manati . Before radiocarbon dating could tell the exact age of Olmec pieces , archaeologists and art historians noticed the unique `` Olmec - style '' in a variety of artifacts . Curators and scholars refer to `` Olmec - style '' face masks but , to date , no example has been recovered in an archaeologically controlled Olmec context . They have been recovered from sites of other cultures , including one deliberately deposited in the ceremonial precinct of Tenochtitlan ( Mexico City ) . The mask would presumably have been about 2,000 years old when the Aztec buried it , suggesting such masks were valued and collected as were Roman antiquities in Europe . The `` Olmec - style '' refers to the combination of deep - set eyes , nostrils , and strong , slightly asymmetrical mouth . The `` Olmec - style '' also very distinctly combines facial features of both humans and jaguars . Olmec arts are strongly tied to the Olmec religion , which prominently featured Jaguars . The Olmecs believed that in the distant past a race of `` Were - Jaguars '' was made between the union of a jaguar and a woman . One ' were - jaguar ' quality that can be found in the sharp cleft in the forehead of many supernatural beings in Olmec art . This sharp cleft is associated with the natural indented head of Jaguars . Beyond the heartland ( edit ) Main article : Olmec influences on Mesoamerican cultures The major Formative Period ( Pre-Classic Era ) sites in present - day Mexico which show Olmec influences in the archaeological record . Olmec - style artifacts , designs , figurines , monuments and iconography have been found in the archaeological records of sites hundreds of kilometres outside the Olmec heartland . These sites include : Central Mexico ( edit ) Tlatilco and Tlapacoya , major centers of the Tlatilco culture in the Valley of Mexico , where artifacts include hollow baby - face motif figurines and Olmec designs on ceramics . Chalcatzingo , in Valley of Morelos , central Mexico , which features Olmec - style monumental art and rock art with Olmec - style figures . Also , in 2007 , archaeologists unearthed Zazacatla , an Olmec - influenced city in Morelos . Located about 25 miles ( 40 kilometers ) south of Mexico City , Zazacatla covered about one square mile ( 2.6 km ) between 800 and 500 BCE . Western Mexico ( edit ) Teopantecuanitlan , in Guerrero , which features Olmec - style monumental art as well as city plans with distinctive Olmec features . Also , the Juxtlahuaca and Oxtotitlan cave paintings feature Olmec designs and motifs . Southern Mexico and Guatemala ( edit ) Olmec influence is also seen at several sites in the Southern Maya area . In Guatemala , sites showing probable Olmec influence include San Bartolo , Takalik Abaj and La Democracia . Nature of Interaction ( edit ) Many theories have been advanced to account for the occurrence of Olmec influence far outside the heartland , including long - range trade by Olmec merchants , Olmec colonization of other regions , Olmec artisans travelling to other cities , conscious imitation of Olmec artistic styles by developing towns -- some even suggest the prospect of Olmec military domination or that the Olmec iconography was actually developed outside the heartland . The generally accepted , but by no means unanimous , interpretation is that the Olmec - style artifacts , in all sizes , became associated with elite status and were adopted by non-Olmec Formative Period chieftains in an effort to bolster their status . Notable innovations ( edit ) In addition to their influence with contemporaneous Mesoamerican cultures , as the first civilization in Mesoamerica , the Olmecs are credited , or speculatively credited , with many `` firsts '' , including the bloodletting and perhaps human sacrifice , writing and epigraphy , and the invention of popcorn , zero and the Mesoamerican calendar , and the Mesoamerican ballgame , as well as perhaps the compass . Some researchers , including artist and art historian Miguel Covarrubias , even postulate that the Olmecs formulated the forerunners of many of the later Mesoamerican deities . Bloodletting and sacrifice speculation ( edit ) Altar 5 from La Venta . The inert were - jaguar baby held by the central figure is seen by some as an indication of child sacrifice . In contrast , its sides show bas - reliefs of humans holding quite lively were - jaguar babies . Although the archaeological record does not include explicit representation of Olmec bloodletting , researchers have found other evidence that the Olmec ritually practiced it . For example , numerous natural and ceramic stingray spikes and maguey thorns have been found at Olmec sites , and certain artifacts have been identified as bloodletters . The argument that the Olmec instituted human sacrifice is significantly more speculative . No Olmec or Olmec - influenced sacrificial artifacts have yet been discovered ; no Olmec or Olmec - influenced artwork unambiguously shows sacrificial victims ( as do the danzante figures of Monte Albán ) or scenes of human sacrifice ( such as can be seen in the famous ballcourt mural from El Tajin ) . At the El Manatí site , disarticulated skulls and femurs , as well as the complete skeletons of newborn or unborn children , have been discovered amidst the other offerings , leading to speculation concerning infant sacrifice . Scholars have not determined how the infants met their deaths . Some authors have associated infant sacrifice with Olmec ritual art showing limp were - jaguar babies , most famously in La Venta 's Altar 5 ( on the right ) or Las Limas figure . Any definitive answer requires further findings . Writing ( edit ) See also : Cascajal block The Olmec may have been the first civilization in the Western Hemisphere to develop a writing system . Symbols found in 2002 and 2006 date from 650 BCE and 900 BCE respectively , preceding the oldest Zapotec writing found so far , which dates from about 500 BCE . The 2002 find at the San Andrés site shows a bird , speech scrolls , and glyphs that are similar to the later Mayan hieroglyphs . Known as the Cascajal Block , and dated between 1100 BCE and 900 BCE , the 2006 find from a site near San Lorenzo shows a set of 62 symbols , 28 of which are unique , carved on a serpentine block . A large number of prominent archaeologists have hailed this find as the `` earliest pre-Columbian writing '' . Others are skeptical because of the stone 's singularity , the fact that it had been removed from any archaeological context , and because it bears no apparent resemblance to any other Mesoamerican writing system . There are also well - documented later hieroglyphs known as `` Epi - Olmec '' , and while there are some who believe that Epi - Olmec may represent a transitional script between an earlier Olmec writing system and Mayan writing , the matter remains unsettled . Mesoamerican Long Count calendar and invention of the zero concept ( edit ) The back of Stela C from Tres Zapotes This is the second oldest Long Count date yet discovered . The numerals 7.16. 6.16. 18 translate to September 3 , 32 BCE ( Julian ) . The glyphs surrounding the date are one of the few surviving examples of Epi - Olmec script . Olmec tomb at La Venta Park , Villahermosa , Tabasco . See also : History of zero The Long Count calendar used by many subsequent Mesoamerican civilizations , as well as the concept of zero , may have been devised by the Olmecs . Because the six artifacts with the earliest Long Count calendar dates were all discovered outside the immediate Maya homeland , it is likely that this calendar predated the Maya and was possibly the invention of the Olmecs . Indeed , three of these six artifacts were found within the Olmec heartland . But an argument against an Olmec origin is the fact that the Olmec civilization had ended by the 4th century BCE , several centuries before the earliest known Long Count date artifact . The Long Count calendar required the use of zero as a place - holder within its vigesimal ( base - 20 ) positional numeral system . A shell glyph -- -- was used as a zero symbol for these Long Count dates , the second oldest of which , on Stela C at Tres Zapotes , has a date of 32 BCE . This is one of the earliest uses of the zero concept in history . Mesoamerican ballgame ( edit ) The Olmec are strong candidates for originating the Mesoamerican ballgame so prevalent among later cultures of the region and used for recreational and religious purposes . A dozen rubber balls dating to 1600 BCE or earlier have been found in El Manatí , a bog 10 km ( 6.2 mi ) east of San Lorenzo Tenochtitlan . These balls predate the earliest ballcourt yet discovered at Paso de la Amada , circa 1400 BCE , although there is no certainty that they were used in the ballgame . Ethnicity and language ( edit ) While the actual ethno - linguistic affiliation of the Olmec remains unknown , various hypotheses have been put forward . For example , in 1968 Michael D. Coe speculated that the Olmec were Mayan predecessors . In 1976 , linguists Lyle Campbell and Terrence Kaufman published a paper in which they argued a core number of loanwords had apparently spread from a Mixe -- Zoquean language into many other Mesoamerican languages . Campbell and Kaufman proposed that the presence of these core loanwords indicated that the Olmec -- generally regarded as the first `` highly civilized '' Mesoamerican society -- spoke a language ancestral to Mixe -- Zoquean . The spread of this vocabulary particular to their culture accompanied the diffusion of other Olmec cultural and artistic traits that appears in the archaeological record of other Mesoamerican societies . Mixe -- Zoque specialist Søren Wichmann first critiqued this theory on the basis that most of the Mixe -- Zoquean loans seemed to originate only from the Zoquean branch of the family . This implied the loanword transmission occurred in the period after the two branches of the language family split , placing the time of the borrowings outside of the Olmec period . However , new evidence has pushed back the proposed date for the split of Mixean and Zoquean languages to a period within the Olmec era . Based on this dating , the architectural and archaeological patterns and the particulars of the vocabulary loaned to other Mesoamerican languages from Mixe -- Zoquean , Wichmann now suggests that the Olmecs of San Lorenzo spoke proto - Mixe and the Olmecs of La Venta spoke proto - Zoque . At least the fact that the Mixe -- Zoquean languages are still spoken in an area corresponding roughly to the Olmec heartland , and are historically known to have been spoken there , leads most scholars to assume that the Olmec spoke one or more Mixe -- Zoquean languages . Religion and mythology ( edit ) Main article : Olmec religion Las Limas Monument 1 , considered an important realisation of Olmec mythology . The youth holds a were - jaguar infant , while four iconic supernaturals are incised on the youth 's shoulders and knees . Olmec Chief or King . Relief from La Venta Archaeological Site in Tabasco . Olmec religious activities were performed by a combination of rulers , full - time priests , and shamans . The rulers seem to have been the most important religious figures , with their links to the Olmec deities or supernaturals providing legitimacy for their rule . There is also considerable evidence for shamans in the Olmec archaeological record , particularly in the so - called `` transformation figures '' . As Olmec mythology has left no documents comparable to the Popul Vuh from Maya mythology , any exposition of Olmec mythology must be based on interpretations of surviving monumental and portable art ( such as the Las Limas figure at right ) , and comparisons with other Mesoamerican mythologies . Olmec art shows that such deities as the Feathered Serpent and a rain supernatural were already in the Mesoamerican pantheon in Olmec times . Social and political organization ( edit ) Little is directly known about the societal or political structure of Olmec society . Although it is assumed by most researchers that the colossal heads and several other sculptures represent rulers , nothing has been found like the Maya stelae ( see drawing ) which name specific rulers and provide the dates of their rule . Instead , archaeologists relied on the data that they had , such as large - and small - scale site surveys . These provided evidence of considerable centralization within the Olmec region , first at San Lorenzo and then at La Venta -- no other Olmec sites come close to these in terms of area or in the quantity and quality of architecture and sculpture . This evidence of geographic and demographic centralization leads archaeologists to propose that Olmec society itself was hierarchical , concentrated first at San Lorenzo and then at La Venta , with an elite that was able to use their control over materials such as water and monumental stone to exert command and legitimize their regime . Nonetheless , Olmec society is thought to lack many of the institutions of later civilizations , such as a standing army or priestly caste . And there is no evidence that San Lorenzo or La Venta controlled , even during their heyday , all of the Olmec heartland . There is some doubt , for example , that La Venta controlled even Arroyo Sonso , only some 35 km ( 22 mi ) away . Studies of the Tuxtla Mountain settlements , some 60 km ( 37 mi ) away , indicate that this area was composed of more or less egalitarian communities outside the control of lowland centers . Trade ( edit ) The wide diffusion of Olmec artifacts and `` Olmecoid '' iconography throughout much of Mesoamerica indicates the existence of extensive long - distance trade networks . Exotic , prestigious and high - value materials such as greenstone and marine shell were moved in significant quantities across large distances . Some of the reasons for trade revolve around the lack of obsidian in the heartland . The Olmec used obsidian in many tools because worked edges were very sharp and durable . Most of the obsidian found has been traced back to Guatemala showing the extensive trade . While the Olmec were not the first in Mesoamerica to organize long - distance exchanges of goods , the Olmec period saw a significant expansion in interregional trade routes , more variety in material goods exchanged and a greater diversity in the sources from which the base materials were obtained . Village Life and diet ( edit ) Despite their size and deliberate urban design , which was copied by other centers , San Lorenzo and La Venta were largely ceremonial centers , and the majority of the Olmec lived in villages similar to present - day villages and hamlets in Tabasco and Veracruz . These villages were located on higher ground and consisted of several scattered houses . A modest temple may have been associated with the larger villages . The individual dwellings would consist of a house , an associated lean - to , and one or more storage pits ( similar in function to a root cellar ) . A nearby garden was used for medicinal and cooking herbs and for smaller crops , such as the domesticated sunflower . Fruit trees , such as avocado or cacao , were probably available nearby . Although the river banks were used to plant crops between flooding periods , the Olmecs probably also practiced swidden ( or slash - and - burn ) agriculture to clear the forests and shrubs , and to provide new fields once the old fields were exhausted . Fields were located outside the village , and were used for maize , beans , squash , manioc , and sweet potato . Based on archaeological studies of two villages in the Tuxtlas Mountains , it is known that maize cultivation became increasingly important to the Olmec over time , although the diet remained fairly diverse . The fruits and vegetables were supplemented with fish , turtle , snake , and mollusks from the nearby rivers , and crabs and shellfish in the coastal areas . Birds were available as food sources , as were game including peccary , opossum , raccoon , rabbit , and in particular , deer . Despite the wide range of hunting and fishing available , midden surveys in San Lorenzo have found that the domesticated dog was the single most plentiful source of animal protein . History of archaeological Research ( edit ) The jade Kunz Axe , first described by George Kunz in 1890 . Although shaped like an axe head , with an edge along the bottom , it is unlikely that this artifact was used except in ritual settings . At a height of 28 cm ( 11 in ) , it is one of the largest jade objects ever found in Mesoamerica . Olmec culture was unknown to historians until the mid-19th century . In 1869 , the Mexican antiquarian traveller José Melgar y Serrano published a description of the first Olmec monument to have been found in situ . This monument -- the colossal head now labelled Tres Zapotes Monument A -- had been discovered in the late 1850s by a farm worker clearing forested land on a hacienda in Veracruz . Hearing about the curious find while travelling through the region , Melgar y Serrano first visited the site in 1862 to see for himself and complete the partially exposed sculpture 's excavation . His description of the object , published several years later after further visits to the site , represents the earliest documented report of an artifact of what is now known as the Olmec culture . In the latter half of the 19th century , Olmec artifacts such as the Kunz Axe ( right ) came to light and were subsequently recognized as belonging to a unique artistic tradition . Frans Blom and Oliver La Farge made the first detailed descriptions of La Venta and San Martin Pajapan Monument 1 during their 1925 expedition . However , at this time , most archaeologists assumed the Olmec were contemporaneous with the Maya -- even Blom and La Farge were , in their own words , `` inclined to ascribe them to the Maya culture '' . Matthew Stirling of the Smithsonian Institution conducted the first detailed scientific excavations of Olmec sites in the 1930s and 1940s . Stirling , along with art historian Miguel Covarrubias , became convinced that the Olmec predated most other known Mesoamerican civilizations . In counterpoint to Stirling , Covarrubias , and Alfonso Caso , however , Mayanists J. Eric Thompson and Sylvanus Morley argued for Classic - era dates for the Olmec artifacts . The question of Olmec chronology came to a head at a 1942 Tuxtla Gutierrez conference , where Alfonso Caso declared that the Olmecs were the `` mother culture '' ( `` cultura madre '' ) of Mesoamerica . Shortly after the conference , radiocarbon dating proved the antiquity of the Olmec civilization , although the `` mother culture '' question generated considerable debate even 60 years later . Etymology ( edit ) The name `` Olmec '' means `` rubber people '' in Nahuatl , the language of the Aztec , and was the Aztec name for the people who lived in the Gulf Lowlands in the 15th and 16th centuries , some 2000 years after the Olmec culture died out . The term `` rubber people '' refers to the ancient practice , spanning from ancient Olmecs to Aztecs , of extracting latex from Castilla elastica , a rubber tree in the area . The juice of a local vine , Ipomoea alba , was then mixed with this latex to create rubber as early as 1600 BCE . Early modern explorers and archaeologists , however , mistakenly applied the name `` Olmec '' to the rediscovered ruins and artifacts in the heartland decades before it was understood that these were not created by the people the Aztecs knew as the `` Olmec '' , but rather a culture that was 2000 years older . Despite the mistaken identity , the name has stuck . It is not known what name the ancient Olmec used for themselves ; some later Mesoamerican accounts seem to refer to the ancient Olmec as `` Tamoanchan '' . A contemporary term sometimes used for the Olmec culture is tenocelome , meaning `` mouth of the jaguar '' . Alternative origin speculations ( edit ) Main article : Olmec alternative origin speculations See also : Pre-Columbian Africa - Americas contact theories Partly because the Olmecs developed the first Mesoamerican civilization , and partly because little is known of them ( compared with , for example , to the Maya or Aztec ) , a number of Olmec alternative origin speculations have been put forth . Although several of these speculations , particularly the theory that the Olmecs were of African origin popularized by Ivan van Sertima 's book They Came Before Columbus , have become well - known within popular culture . They are not considered credible by the vast majority of Mesoamerican researchers and scientists , who discard it as pop - culture pseudo-science .

the cultural core of early olmec civilization was located at
[ "The Olmecs flourished during Mesoamerica's formative period, dating roughly from as early as 1500 BCE to about 400 BCE. Pre-Olmec cultures had flourished in the area since about 2500 BCE, but by 1600–1500 BCE, early Olmec culture had emerged, centered on the San Lorenzo Tenochtitlán site near the coast in southeast Veracruz.[1] They were the first Mesoamerican civilization, and laid many of the foundations for the civilizations that followed.[2] Among other \"firsts\", the Olmec appeared to practice ritual bloodletting and played the Mesoamerican ballgame, hallmarks of nearly all subsequent Mesoamerican societies. The aspect of the Olmecs most familiar now is their artwork, particularly the aptly named \"colossal heads\".[3] The Olmec civilization was first defined through artifacts which collectors purchased on the pre-Columbian art market in the late 19th century and early 20th century. Olmec artworks are considered among ancient America's most striking.[4]" ]

CGI replicas and models were used to collect data ( such as strength , bite force , etc . ) about the animals . Then , in a virtual arena , a brief computer - animated fight scene reveals the results . Some people have declared this show similar to the hit Spike TV show Deadliest Warrior .

The rhinoceros returns and tries to stab the elephant 's throat , but he 's too tall , even with its four - foot horn . The white rhinoceros then tries an agile headbutt , but the elephant proves better with his seven - foot tusks .

All while , the hippo has been roaring in pain , not knowing what hit him , but his bad temper lights a fire in his belly . Soon , the hippopotamus submerges and spots the deadly shark . The enraged hippopotamus comes towards the shark , and the shark comes towards the hippopotamus , who then opens his mouth , revealing his huge sharp foot - long canine teeth , but the bull shark keeps coming and is finally crushed and killed when the larger hippopotamus closes his mouth on it . 5 `` Gray Wolf vs. Cougar '' Rocky Mountains Cougar A gray wolf is feeding ; from a great distance , a cougar catches the smell of meat , and comes to investigate .

Both combatants sense each other -- the squid sees the whale , while the whale 's echolocation reveals the squid 's location . Upon seeing the whale as a potential predator , the squid releases a burst of ink as a warning , but it 's ignored by the whale , which launches a slow attack on the huge squid . Just before it reaches the mouth , the squid latches onto the whale and rakes it with its suckers , wounding it in the process . By rising close to the surface , the squid is shaken off , but not before it scratches the whale further . Although wounded , the whale amplifies its sonar and stuns the squid .

The lion walks off, roaring victoriously.[1][a]\n\n\n4\n\"Hippopotamus vs. Bull Shark\"\nZambezi River\nHippopotamus\n\n\nAn injured male hippopotamus is seen resting in his stretch of the Zambezi river, relaxing by the water′s edge, unaware that a bull shark is roaming around, looking for food. The shark catches the smell of meat, but doesn't know where it's coming from. The shark starts the encounter with an exploratory bump. After confirming the hippopotamus is indeed food, the shark bites the side, but the massive girth combined with the enormous weight of the hippopotamus is too much of a mouthful for the smaller shark. Even the thick skin in the back leg proves too tough. Despite this, the shark does manage to rip off the hippopotamus's tail. All while, the hippo has been roaring in pain, not knowing what hit him, but his bad temper lights a fire in his belly. Soon, the hippopotamus submerges and spots the deadly shark. The enraged hippopotamus comes towards the shark, and the shark comes towards the hippopotamus, who then opens his mouth, revealing his huge sharp foot-long canine teeth, but the bull shark keeps coming and is finally crushed and killed when the larger hippopotamus closes his mouth on it.\n\n\n5\n\"Gray Wolf vs. Cougar\"\nRocky Mountains\nCougar\n\n\nA gray wolf is feeding; from a great distance, a cougar catches the smell of meat, and comes to investigate. The cougar comes across the wolf eating. Lying down, she thinks about how to steal the meal without having the wolf to call for reinforcements. Soon after, the wolf notices the cougar and growls. The cougar does growls in response. The wolf soon responds by charging forward and ferociously biting the cougar's hind leg, but backs off when the cougar pounces on him with her front legs and lethal claws. The wolf howls to his pack for backup. Realizing she's in grave danger, the cougar tries to retreat, but the wolf bites her paw. Furious, the cougar rolls onto her back, rakes the wolf with her claws and throws him off to the ground, killing the wolf at once. The cougar prepares to eat, but she then hears the wolf pack approaching. Left with no choice, the cougar leaves the kill and flees straight to the forest.\n\n\n6\n\"Walrus vs. Polar Bear\"\nArctic Circle\nWalrus\n\n\nA walrus is relaxing by the water's edge. Suddenly, a hungry polar bear comes by to attack the walrus. Startled and nervous, the walrus heads straight for the sea. The bear attempts to bite and scratch the walrus, but the pinniped's thick skin is too much, even for a large bear like itself. Although it briefly manages to latch on with its sharp teeth, the bear cannot do much serious damage. The walrus then tries to stab the bear with its four-foot tusks, but the agile predator anticipates. The bear then tries several paw swipes to the head, but the walrus's skull is too thick to land a killing blow. As the walrus flees, the bear holds on and gets dragged into the ocean, afterwards, the walrus turns around, goring the bear with its tusks. The bear, wounded and running out of air, heads straight back to the surface. But the walrus returns with a vengeance – it soon sinks its tusks onto the carnivore's back, killing it. The dead bear sinks into the ocean.\n\n\n7\n\"Brown Bear vs. Siberian Tiger\"\nSiberia\nBrown Bear\n\n\nIn the Siberian woodlands in wintertime, a Siberian tiger is feasting on its kill, a large Brown bear is roaming around, looking for one more meal before going into hibernation. The tiger then suddenly spots the bear. Not in the mood to share, the tiger roars at the bear to back off, but the bear ignores the warning and continues to advance. The tiger tries a body blow, but the bear absorbs the impact without losing balance. The tiger then tries to land a killing blow on the bear's neck, but the bear pushes it down. The bear then approaches the kill, but the tiger recovers and pounces on the bear from behind, cutting him with its claws, but fails to disable. The much stronger bear turns around and using his superior strength against the tiger's speed and agility, overpowers the tiger by pawing its face. The bear then breaks the tiger's spine and finishes its off with a neck bite, killing it immediately.\n\n\n8\n\"African Lion vs. Nile Crocodile\"\nMaasai Mara\nNile Crocodile\n\n\nA male African lion is eating by the river's edge when a Nile crocodile emerges from the water, intent on stealing the meal. Upon seeing that, the lion roars at the crocodile to back off, but he does little than get a loud hiss from the crocodile. The lion attacks, but cannot land a deadly blow because of the crocodile's thick armor. The lion tries to flip the crocodile to reach its unarmored belly, but a roll and tail swipe stops him from doing so. Determined to get rid of the lion, the crocodile heads back to the water, and gets out of sight. Determined to protect his kill, the lion stays close to the water's edge, looking for an opportunity to kill the crocodile. All of a sudden, it's too late. The crocodile launches a surprise attack on the lion, grabbing his neck and dragging him to the water. The crocodile soon performs a death roll, which kills the lion at once.\n\n\n9\n\"Mountain Gorilla vs. African Leopard\"\nCentral Africa\nMountain Gorilla\n\n\nA male mountain gorilla has left his family in the trees, looking for a place to spend the night. Around the same time, an African leopard leaves her cub to go hunting. The leopard then sees gorilla walking by and interprets her as a threat. The gorilla, upon seeing the leopard sees it too as threat to its troop. He tries to avoid the fight, beating his chest, growling and howling in the process, but the leopard does not flinch. The gorilla approaches, swiping at the leopard, who soon leaps onto a cliffside. Afterwards, the leopard jumps onto the gorilla's back and biting his shoulder. However, the gorilla manages throws the leopard off, but she leaps onto his back again, but can't get a grip. The gorilla throws the leopard off again; the leopard runs for her life, but the gorilla knocks her off balance before she gets free, but not before the gorilla chomps down on the leopard's shoulder, though gets free immediately after. Both opponents stare and snarl at each other. Desperate, the leopard makes a final lunges towards the gorilla, but the gorilla throws his powerful arm onto its spine, breaking it and killing the leopard.[b]\n\n\n10\n\"American Alligator vs. American Black Bear\"\nEverglades\nAmerican Black Bear\n\n\nOn a hot day in the Everglades, an American black bear has gone into a lake to drink, not knowing that an American alligator is resting underneath, The alligator wakes up and sees the black bear, but the bear has also spotted the alligator and tries to retreat. The alligator then ambushes the bear and grabs his leg and does the classic death roll, but all he grabs is a mouthful of fur, fat and muscle. Hurt, but not fatally and still strong, the black bear fights back by slashing the alligator's mouth. The alligator then attempts a tail swipe, but the much smarter bear anticipates this; knowing it's vulnerable on land, The alligator tries to retreat, but the enraged bear lungs at it. The alligator tries to roll free of the bear's grab, but this gives the black bear the advantage to flip it over, which exposes the alligator's soft underbelly which the bear slashes fatally into and kills the alligator, the black leaves as the alligatorgator's dead body rots in the riverbank.\n\n\n11\n\"Sperm Whale vs. Colossal Squid\"\nAntarctic Ocean\nSperm Whale\n\n\nA sperm whale is diving into the deep abyss, while a colossal squid rockets through the depths. Both combatants sense each other – the squid sees the whale, while the whale's echolocation reveals the squid's location. Upon seeing the whale as a potential predator, the squid releases a burst of ink as a warning, but it's ignored by the whale, which launches a slow attack on the huge squid. Just before it reaches the mouth, the squid latches onto the whale and rakes it with its suckers, wounding it in the process. By rising close to the surface, the squid is shaken off, but not before it scratches the whale further. Although wounded, the whale amplifies its sonar and stuns the squid. The paralyzed cephalopod is helpless – and thus eaten alive.\n\n" ]

Sperm
Sperm - wikipedia Sperm Jump to : navigation , search For other uses , see Sperm ( disambiguation ) . Diagram of a human sperm cell Sperm is the male reproductive cell and is derived from the Greek word ( σπέρμα ) sperma ( meaning `` seed '' ) . In the types of sexual reproduction known as anisogamy and its subtype oogamy , there is a marked difference in the size of the gametes with the smaller one being termed the `` male '' or sperm cell . A uniflagellar sperm cell that is motile is referred to as a spermatozoon , whereas a non-motile sperm cell is referred to as a spermatium . Sperm cells can not divide and have a limited life span , but after fusion with egg cells during fertilization , a new organism begins developing , starting as a totipotent zygote . The human sperm cell is haploid , so that its 23 chromosomes can join the 23 chromosomes of the female egg to form a diploid cell . In mammals , sperm develops in the testicles , stored in the epididymis , and is released from the penis . Play media Video of human sperm cells recorded by an affordable home microscope . Contents ( hide ) 1 Sperm in animals 1.1 Function 1.2 Anatomy 1.3 Origin 1.4 Sperm quality 1.5 Sperm size 1.6 Market for human sperm 1.7 History 1.8 Forensic analysis 2 Sperm in plants 3 Motile sperm cells 4 Non-motile sperm cells 5 Sperm nuclei 6 Sperm centrioles 7 Sperm tail formation 8 See also 9 References 10 External links Sperm in animals Further information : Spermatozoon Function The main sperm function is to reach the ovum and fuse with it to deliver two sub-cellular structures : ( i ) the male pronucleus that contains the genetic material and ( ii ) the centrioles that are structures that help organize the microtubule cytoskeleton . Anatomy Sperm and egg fusing The mammalian sperm cell consists of a head , neck , a midpiece and a tail . The head contains the nucleus with densely coiled chromatin fibres , surrounded anteriorly by an acrosome , which contains enzymes used for penetrating the female egg . The neck contains the sperm centriole . The midpiece has a central filamentous core with many mitochondria spiralled around it , used for ATP production for the journey through the female cervix , uterus and uterine tubes . The tail or `` flagellum '' executes the lashing movements that propel the spermatocyte . During fertilization , the sperm provides three essential parts to the oocyte : ( 1 ) a signalling or activating factor , which causes the metabolically dormant oocyte to activate ; ( 2 ) the haploid paternal genome ; ( 3 ) the centriole , which is responsible for forming the centrosome and microtubule system . Origin The spermatozoa of animals are produced through spermatogenesis inside the male gonads ( testicles ) via meiotic division . The initial spermatozoon process takes around 70 days to complete . The spermatid stage is where the sperm develops the familiar tail . The next stage where it becomes fully mature takes around 60 days when it is called a spermatozoan . Sperm cells are carried out of the male body in a fluid known as semen . Human sperm cells can survive within the female reproductive tract for more than 5 days post coitus . Semen is produced in the seminal vesicles , prostate gland and urethral glands . In 2016 scientists at Nanjing Medical University claimed they had produced cells resembling mouse spermatids artificially from stem cells . They injected these spermatids into mouse eggs and produced pups . Sperm quality Human sperm stained for semen quality testing . Main article : Semen quality Sperm quantity and quality are the main parameters in semen quality , which is a measure of the ability of semen to accomplish fertilization . Thus , in humans , it is a measure of fertility in a man . The genetic quality of sperm , as well as its volume and motility , all typically decrease with age . ( See paternal age effect . ) DNA damages present in sperm cells in the period after meiosis but before fertilization may be repaired in the fertilized egg , but if not repaired , can have serious deleterious effects on fertility and the developing embryo . Human sperm cells are particularly vulnerable to free radical attack and the generation of oxidative DNA damage . ( see e.g. 8 - Oxo - 2 ' - deoxyguanosine ) The postmeiotic phase of mouse spermatogenesis is very sensitive to environmental genotoxic agents , because as male germ cells form mature sperm they progressively lose the ability to repair DNA damage . Irradiation of male mice during late spermatogenesis can induce damage that persists for at least 7 days in the fertilizing sperm cells , and disruption of maternal DNA double - strand break repair pathways increases sperm cell - derived chromosomal aberrations . Treatment of male mice with melphalan , a bifunctional alkylating agent frequently employed in chemotherapy , induces DNA lesions during meiosis that may persist in an unrepaired state as germ cells progress though DNA repair - competent phases of spermatogenic development . Such unrepaired DNA damages in sperm cells , after fertilization , can lead to offspring with various abnormalities . Sperm size Related to sperm quality is sperm size , at least in some animals . For instance , the sperm of some species of fruit fly ( Drosophila ) are up to 5.8 cm long -- about 20 times as long as the fly itself . Longer sperm cells are better than their shorter counterparts at displacing competitors from the female 's seminal receptacle . The benefit to females is that only healthy males carry ' good ' genes that can produce long sperm in sufficient quantities to outcompete their competitors . Market for human sperm Further information : Sperm donation Some sperm banks hold up to 170 litres ( 37 imp gal ; 45 US gal ) of sperm . In addition to ejaculation , it is possible to extract sperm through TESE . On the global market , Denmark has a well - developed system of human sperm export . This success mainly comes from the reputation of Danish sperm donors for being of high quality and , in contrast with the law in the other Nordic countries , gives donors the choice of being either anonymous or non-anonymous to the receiving couple . Furthermore , Nordic sperm donors tend to be tall and highly educated and have altruistic motives for their donations , partly due to the relatively low monetary compensation in Nordic countries . More than 50 countries worldwide are importers of Danish sperm , including Paraguay , Canada , Kenya , and Hong Kong . However , the Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) of the US has banned import of any sperm , motivated by a risk of transmission of Creutzfeldt -- Jakob disease , although such a risk is insignificant , since artificial insemination is very different from the route of transmission of Creutzfeldt -- Jakob disease . The prevalence of Creutzfeldt -- Jakob disease for donors is at most one in a million , and if the donor was a carrier , the infectious proteins would still have to cross the blood - testis barrier to make transmission possible . History See also : Homunculus § Homunculus of spermists Sperm were first observed in 1677 by Antonie van Leeuwenhoek using a microscope , he described them as being animalcules ( little animals ) , probably due to his belief in preformationism , which thought that each sperm contained a fully formed but small human . Forensic analysis Ejaculated fluids are detected by ultraviolet light , irrespective of the structure or colour of the surface . Sperm heads , e.g. from vaginal swabs , are still detected by microscopy using the `` Christmas Tree Stain '' method , i.e. , Kernechtrot - Picroindigocarmine ( KPIC ) staining . Sperm in plants Sperm cells in algal and many plant gametophytes are produced in male gametangia ( antheridia ) via mitotic division . In flowering plants , sperm nuclei are produced inside pollen . Motile sperm cells Motile sperm cells of algae and seedless plants . Motile sperm cells typically move via flagella and require a water medium in order to swim toward the egg for fertilization . In animals most of the energy for sperm motility is derived from the metabolism of fructose carried in the seminal fluid . This takes place in the mitochondria located in the sperm 's midpiece ( at the base of the sperm head ) . These cells can not swim backwards due to the nature of their propulsion . The uniflagellated sperm cells ( with one flagellum ) of animals are referred to as spermatozoa , and are known to vary in size . Motile sperm are also produced by many protists and the gametophytes of bryophytes , ferns and some gymnosperms such as cycads and ginkgo . The sperm cells are the only flagellated cells in the life cycle of these plants . In many ferns and lycophytes , they are multi-flagellated ( carrying more than one flagellum ) . In nematodes , the sperm cells are amoeboid and crawl , rather than swim , towards the egg cell . Non-motile sperm cells Non-motile sperm cells called spermatia lack flagella and therefore can not swim . Spermatia are produced in a spermatangium . Because spermatia can not swim , they depend on their environment to carry them to the egg cell . Some red algae , such as Polysiphonia , produce non-motile spermatia that are spread by water currents after their release . The spermatia of rust fungi are covered with a sticky substance . They are produced in flask - shaped structures containing nectar , which attract flies that transfer the spermatia to nearby hyphae for fertilization in a mechanism similar to insect pollination in flowering plants . Fungal spermatia ( also called pycniospores , especially in the Uredinales ) may be confused with conidia . Conidia are spores that germinate independently of fertilization , whereas spermatia are gametes that are required for fertilization . In some fungi , such as Neurospora crassa , spermatia are identical to microconidia as they can perform both functions of fertilization as well as giving rise to new organisms without fertilization . Sperm nuclei In almost all embryophytes , including most gymnosperms and all angiosperms , the male gametophytes ( pollen grains ) are the primary mode of dispersal , for example via wind or insect pollination , eliminating the need for water to bridge the gap between male and female . Each pollen grain contains a spermatogenous ( generative ) cell . Once the pollen lands on the stigma of a receptive flower , it germinates and starts growing a pollen tube through the carpel . Before the tube reaches the ovule , the nucleus of the generative cell in the pollen grain divides and gives rise to two sperm nuclei , which are then discharged through the tube into the ovule for fertilization . In some protists , fertilization also involves sperm nuclei , rather than cells , migrating toward the egg cell through a fertilization tube . Oomycetes form sperm nuclei in a syncytical antheridium surrounding the egg cells . The sperm nuclei reach the eggs through fertilization tubes , similar to the pollen tube mechanism in plants . Sperm centrioles Most sperm cells have centrioles in the sperm neck . Sperm of many animals has 2 centrioles known as the proximal centriole and distal centriole . Some animals like human have a single centriole known as the proximal centriole . Mice and rat have no sperm centrioles . The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has a single centriole and an atypical centriole named the Proximal Centriole - Like ( PCL ) . Sperm tail formation The sperm tail is a specialized type of cilium ( aka flagella ) . In many animals the sperm tail is formed in a unique way , which is named Cytosolic ciliogenesis , since all or part of axoneme of the sperm tail is formed in the cytoplasm or get exposed to the cytoplasm .

The wizard Vitruvius attempts to stop him , but is blinded by Business 's robots . Before Business leaves with the weapon , Vitruvius prophesies a person called `` The Special '' will find the `` Piece of Resistance '' , a brick capable of stopping the Kragle . Eight and a half years later , in the city of Bricksburg , construction worker Emmet Brickowski finds a woman , Wyldstyle , searching for something at his construction site after hours . When he investigates , Emmet falls into a hole and finds the Piece of Resistance . Compelled to touch it , Emmet experiences vivid visions and passes out . He awakens with the Piece of Resistance attached to his back , in the custody of Good Cop / Bad Cop , Lord Business 's lieutenant . Wyldstyle rescues Emmet , believing him to be the Special , and takes him to meet Vitruvius in the Old West . Emmet learns Wyldstyle and Vitruvius are `` Master Builders '' -- people capable of building anything from their imagination without the need of instructions -- who oppose Business . Wyldstyle explains that Business wants to use the Kragle ( a tube of Krazy Glue with a weathered label ) to freeze the world into perfection . Though disappointed to find Emmet is not a Master Builder , Wyldstyle and Vitruvius are convinced of his potential when he recalls visions of a seemingly human deity referred to as `` The Man Upstairs '' . Emmet , Wyldstyle and Vitruvius evade Bad Cop 's forces with the aid of Batman , Wyldstyle 's boyfriend . They go to the hidden realm of Cloud Cuckoo Land to attend a council of Master Builders , all of whom are unimpressed with Emmet and refuse to fight Business . Bad Cop 's forces attack , having placed a tracking device on Emmet , and capture everyone except Emmet , Wyldstyle , Batman , Vitruvius , and a small group of other Master Builders . Escaping , Emmet devises a plan to infiltrate Business 's office tower and disarm the Kragle , but the group is captured and imprisoned in the Think Tank , where all the Master Builders are forced to make instructions . Trying to retaliate , Vitruvius is decapitated by Business , who sets a self - destruct protocol and leaves everyone to die , including Bad Cop . As he dies , Vitruvius reveals he made up the prophecy . He soon reappears to Emmet as a ghost and reveals self - belief is what makes one the Special . Strapped to the self - destruct mechanism 's battery , Emmet jumps into the abyss outside the tower and severs the connection , saving his friends . Inspired by Emmet 's sacrifice , Wyldstyle rallies the Lego people across the universe to use whatever creativity they have to build machines and weapons to fight against Lord Business 's forces . Emmet finds himself in the human world as a Lego mini-figure , unable to move . The events of the story are being played out by a little boy named Finn on his father 's expansive Lego set in their basement . His father , `` The Man Upstairs '' , comes home from work and chastises his son for ruining the set by creating variations of different playsets , and proceeds to rebuild and glue his perceived perfect creations together . Realizing the danger his friends are in , Emmet wills himself to move and gains Finn 's attention . Finn returns Emmet and the Piece of Resistance to the set , where Emmet now possesses the powers of a Master Builder and confronts Business . Meanwhile , Finn 's father looks at his son 's creations and realizes Finn had based the villainous Business on him and his perfectionism . Through a speech Emmet gives Business , Finn reconciles with his father , and the two unglue the constructions with mineral spirits , which plays out as Business having a change of heart , capping the Kragle , and thawing his victims . Emmet is hailed as a hero and begins a romantic relationship with Wyldstyle with Batman 's blessing . As a result of Finn 's father allowing Finn 's younger sister to join them in playing with his Lego sets , aliens from the planet Duplon beam down on the Lego world and announce their plans to destroy everyone .

Will Forte , Dave Franco , Jake Johnson , Keegan - Michael Key , Chris McKay and Jorma Taccone provide voice cameos in the film . Co-director Christopher Miller cameos as a TV presenter in the studio that films the Where Are My Pants ? TV series . Production ( edit ) Creators of the film at the 2013 San Diego Comic - Con International : Phil Lord and Christopher Miller , writers and directors ; Chris McKay , co-director ; and Dan Lin , producer . Dan Lin conceived of the idea for the film and began discussing it with Roy Lee before leaving Warner Bros. to form his own production company , Lin Pictures , in 2008 . Meanwhile , Warner Bros. home entertainment executive Kevin Tsujihara had recognized the value of the Lego franchise by engineering the studio 's purchase of Lego video game licensee Traveller 's Tales in 2007 , thought the success of the Lego - based video games indicated a Lego - based film was a good idea , and reportedly `` championed '' the development of the film . By August 2009 , Dan and Kevin Hageman were writing the script described as `` action adventure set in a Lego world . '' Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller were in talks in June 2010 to write and direct the film . Warner Bros. green - lit the film by November 2011 , with a planned 2014 release date . The Australian studio Animal Logic was contracted to provide the animation , which was expected to comprise 80 % of the film . By this time Chris McKay , the director of Robot Chicken , had also joined Lord and Miller to co-direct . McKay explained that his role was to supervise the production in Australia once Lord and Miller left to work on 22 Jump Street . In March 2012 , Lord and Miller revealed the film 's working title , Lego : The Piece of Resistance , and a storyline . In April 2012 , Warner Bros. scheduled the film for release on February 28 , 2014 , a date that subsequently changed . `` We wanted to make the film feel like the way you play , the way I remember playing . We wanted to make it feel as epic and ambitious and self - serious as a kid feels when they play with LEGO . We took something you could claim is the most cynical cash grab in cinematic history , basically a 90 minute LEGO commercial , and turned it into a celebration of creativity , fun and invention , in the spirit of just having a good time and how ridiculous it can look when you make things up . And we had fun doing it . ' '' -- Animation supervisor Chris McKay By June 2012 , Chris Pratt had been cast as the voice of Emmet , the lead Lego character , and Will Arnett voicing Lego Batman ; the role of Lego Superman was offered to Channing Tatum . By August 2012 , Elizabeth Banks was hired to voice Lucy ( later getting the alias `` Wyldstyle '' ) and Morgan Freeman to voice Vitruvius , an old mystic . In October 2012 , Warner Bros. shifted the release date for the film , simply titled Lego , to February 7 , 2014 . In November 2012 , Alison Brie , Will Ferrell , Liam Neeson , and Nick Offerman signed on for roles . Brie voices Unikitty , a member of Emmet 's team ; Ferrell voices the antagonist President / Lord Business ; Neeson voices Bad Cop / Good Cop and Offerman voices MetalBeard , a pirate seeking revenge on Business . In July 2012 , a Lego - user contest announced on the film 's Facebook page would choose a winning Lego vehicle to appear in the film . Miller 's childhood Space Village playset is utilized in the film . The film is strongly inspired by the visual aesthetic and stylistics of Brickfilms and received a great deal of praise in the respective online communities who saw the film as appraising nod to their work . Many Brickfilm - Fans and AFOL 's ( Adult Fans of Lego ) praised the painstaking amount detail in the production . Animal Logic tried to make the film 's animation replicate a stop motion film even if everything was done through computer graphics , with the animation rigs following the same articulation limits actual Lego figures have . The camera systems also tried to replicate live action cinematography , including different lenses and a Steadicam simulator . The scenery was projected through The Lego Group 's own Lego Digital Designer , which as CG supervisor Aidan Sarsfield detailed , `` uses the official LEGO Brick Library and effectively simulates the connectivity of each of the bricks . '' The saved files were then converted to design and animate in Maya and XSI . At times the minifigures were even placed under microscopes to capture the seam lines , dirt and grime into the digital textures . Benny the spaceman was based on the line of Lego space sets sold in the 1980s , and his design includes the broken helmet chin strap , a common defect of the space sets at that time . The film 's total cost , including production , promotion and advertising ( P&A ) , was $100 million . Half of the film 's cost was financed by Village Roadshow Pictures . The rest was covered by Warner Bros. , with RatPac - Dune Entertainment providing a smaller share as part of its multi-year financing agreement with Warner Bros. Initially Warner Bros. turned down Village Roadshow Pictures when it asked to invest in the film . However , Warner Bros. later changed its mind , reportedly due to lack of confidence in the film , initially offering Village Roadshow Pictures the opportunity to finance 25 % of the film , and later , an additional 25 % .

'' , has been critically praised and has undergone some close analysis . Eric Brown , writing in the International Business Times , describes the song as a parody of fascism , saying that the song `` seems little more than an infectiously catchy parody of watered - down radio pop , right down to the faux - dubstep breakdown . There 's a lot more happening under the surface , however . '' In an interview with Fox News , producer Mark Mothersbaugh says the song `` was supposed to be like mind control early in the film . It 's totally irritating , this kind of mindless mantra to get people up and working . It 's like the whip crack on their back , but then by the end of the movie it morphs into , instead of being just a mindless , go - to - work song it becomes about co-operation and people working together to do bigger things . '' Release ( edit ) The Lego Movie premiered at the Regency Village Theatre in Los Angeles , California on February 1 , 2014 , and was released in theaters on February 7 , 2014 . The film was released in Australia by the film 's co-producer , Roadshow Films .

The company recruited a roster of global partners to a broad , multi-category licensing program to support the film . Official Lego Brand Stores also scheduled events .

Critical response ( edit ) The Lego Movie was met with `` nearly unanimous positive reviews . '' Review - aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 96 % approval rating and an average rating of 8.2 / 10 based on 236 reviews . The website 's consensus reads , `` Boasting beautiful animation , a charming voice cast , laugh - a-minute gags , and a surprisingly thoughtful story , The Lego Movie is colorful fun for all ages . '' On Metacritic , which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 based on reviews from critics , the film has a score of 83 ( indicating `` universal acclaim '' ) based on 43 reviews . According to CinemaScore polls conducted during the opening weekend , the average grade moviegoers gave The Lego Movie was A on an A+ to F scale . Filmmaker Edgar Wright , and TIME Magazine film critic Richard Corliss , each named The Lego Movie as one of their favorite films of 2014 . Michael Rechtshaffen of The Hollywood Reporter wrote , `` Arriving at a time when feature animation was looking and feeling mighty anemic ... The LEGO Movie shows ' em how it 's done , '' with Peter Debruge of Variety adding that Lord and Miller `` irreverently deconstruct the state of the modern blockbuster and deliver a smarter , more satisfying experience in its place , emerging with a fresh franchise for others to build upon . '' Tom Huddleston of Time Out said , `` The script is witty , the satire surprisingly pointed , and the animation tactile and imaginative . '' Drew Hunt of the Chicago Reader said the filmmakers `` fill the script with delightfully absurd one - liners and sharp pop culture references '' , with A.O. Scott of The New York Times noting that , `` Pop - culture jokes ricochet off the heads of younger viewers to tickle the world - weary adults in the audience , with just enough sentimental goo applied at the end to unite the generations . Parents will dab their eyes while the kids roll theirs . '' Elizabeth Weitzman of the New York Daily News said the filmmakers `` do n't sink into cynicism . Their computer animation embraces the retro look and feel of the toys to both ingenious and adorable effect . '' Claudia Puig of USA Today called the film `` a spirited romp through a world that looks distinctively familiar , and yet freshly inventive . '' Liam Lacey of The Globe and Mail asked , `` Can a feature - length toy commercial also work as a decent kids ' movie ? The bombast of the G.I. Joe and Transformers franchises might suggest no , but after an uninspired year for animated movies , The Lego Movie is a 3 - D animated film that connects . '' Joel Arnold of NPR acknowledged that the film `` may be one giant advertisement , but all the way to its plastic - mat foundation , it 's an earnest piece of work -- a cash grab with a heart . '' Peter Travers of Rolling Stone called the film `` sassy enough to shoot well - aimed darts at corporate branding . '' Michael O'Sullivan of The Washington Post said that , `` While clearly filled with affection for -- and marketing tie - ins to -- the titular product that 's front and center , it 's also something of a sharp plastic brick flung in the eye of its corporate sponsor . '' On the negative side , Kyle Smith of the New York Post called the film `` more exhausting than fun , too unsure of itself to stick with any story thread for too long . '' Moira MacDonald of The Seattle Times , while generally positive , found `` it falls apart a bit near the end . '' Alonso Duralde of The Wrap said the film `` will doubtless tickle young fans of the toys . It 's just too bad that a movie that encourages you to think for yourself does n't follow its own advice . '' Television personality , author , filmmaker , radio host and conservative political commentator Glenn Beck praised the film for avoiding `` the double meanings and adult humor I just hate . '' Oscar host Neil Patrick Harris referenced The Lego Movie not being nominated Best Animated Feature , which many critics considered a major snub , saying prior to the award 's presentation `` If you 're at the Oscar party with the guys who directed ' The Lego Movie , ' now would be a great time to distract them . '' U.S. Senator Ron Johnson criticized the film 's anti-corporate message , saying that it taught children that `` government is good and business is bad '' , citing the villain 's name of Lord Business . `` That 's done for a reason '' , Johnson told WisPolitics.com . `` They 're starting that propaganda , and it 's insidious '' . The comments were criticized by many , and Russ Feingold brought up the comments on the campaign trail during his 2016 Senate bid against Johnson . Box Office performance ( edit ) The Lego Movie grossed $257.8 million in the U.S. and Canada , and $210.3 million internationally , for a worldwide total of $469.1 million . Calculating in all expenses , Deadline Hollywood estimated that the film made a profit of $229 million . In the U.S. and Canada , the film opened at number one in its first weekend with over $69 million , which was the second - highest weekend debut in February , at the time , behind The Passion of the Christ ( $83.8 million ) . The movie retained the top spot at box office in its second weekend by declining only 28 % and grossing $49.8 million . The Lego Movie was number one again in its third weekend while declining 37 % and grossing $31.3 million . In its fourth weekend , the film dropped to number three grossing $20.8 million . Elsewhere , The Lego Movie was released in 34 markets in February 7 , 2014 -- the same weekend as its U.S. release . It made $18.7 million on its opening weekend from 5,695 screens from 34 countries . On its opening weekend , which varies depending on the country , it earned $3.8 million in Mexico , $2 million in Spain , and $1.8 million in Brazil . With a total gross of £ 34.3 million , it was the second - highest - grossing film in the UK and Ireland in 2014 . The popularity of the film led to a shortage of Lego products by September 2014 .

Contents 1 Plot 2 Production 3 Additional characters 4 German version 5 Filmography 6 Credits 7 Revivals 8 Home releases 9 References 10 External links Plot ( edit ) The cartoon follows attempts of a blue aardvark named Aardvark ( voiced by John Byner , impersonating comedian Jackie Mason ) , to catch and eat a red ant named Charlie ( also voiced by John Byner , but impersonating Dean Martin ) , usually doing so by inhaling with a loud vacuum cleaner sound . The character is essentially unnamed ; in the episode Rough Brunch , he claims his name is simply `` Aardvark . '' Charlie Ant gives his nemesis a variety of names as sly terms of endearment ( Ol ' Sam , Ol ' Ben , Ol ' Blue , Claude , Pal , Buddy , Daddy - O ) . In several bumper sequences of The Pink Panther Show , he is called `` Blue Aardvark . '' Production ( edit ) The Ant and the Aardvark series was originally released by United Artists . Seventeen theatrical shorts were produced in the original series , and were subsequently featured in various television syndication packages , usually shown with DFE 's other characters such as the Pink Panther and The Inspector . Most of the 17 entries appear in their television syndication form ( complete with an audible laugh track added by NBC - TV ) on the video on demand service Amazon Video . When The Ant and the Aardvark first appeared on The Pink Panther Meets the Ant and the Aardvark in 1970 , the series became wildly popular , so much in fact that the duo became a featured part of the NBC series . Even though the 17 entries remained popular throughout the broadcast run of The Pink Panther Show , no new entries were produced . The series used several unique production techniques for the period . The aardvark 's body was solid blue : his only clothes -- a pair of blue shorts and matching T - shirt -- were a matching blue . Similarly , Charlie Ant was solid red , and did not sport any clothing . As such , the character 's solid colors allowed them to stand out clearly against the multi-colored backgrounds featured prominently in the series . Charlie also sported half - closed eyes , as a sign of a bon viveur . Musical director Doug Goodwin was responsible for the jazzy music score . Goodwin assembled an established group of jazz session musicians to perform the series ' theme music and musical cues . For the first time in animated cartoons , all six musicians -- Ray Brown , Billy Byers , Pete Candoli , Shelly Manne , Jimmy Rowles and Tommy Tedesco -- received on - screen credit . Art Leonardi was responsible for the main title graphic for all DePatie - Freleng entries . For The Ant and the Aardvark series , Leonardi expanded on a technique first introduced for the first Pink Panther cartoon , The Pink Phink . This entailed tearing paper into the forms of objects and characters to form stylized images . Additional characters ( edit ) There were additional minor characters in the series . Among them were the following : Cousin Term the Termite ( Rough Brunch ) Aunt Minerva , one of the Gi - ants ( The Ant From Uncle ) Tiny the Elephant , an ape , and a look - alike of Roland ( from another DePatie - Freleng series , Roland and Rattfink ) as Charlie Ant 's lodge brothers ( Mumbo Jumbo ) An unnamed green aardvark , similar to the blue aardvark except barrel - chested instead of pot - bellied ( I 've Got Ants In My Plans , Odd Ant Out ) Tiger , voiced by Marvin Miller ( Scratch a Tiger ) A Boris Karloff - sounding scientist ( Science Friction ) A nurse at an animal hospital , voiced by Athena Lorde ( From Bed to Worse ) An anteater - eating shark ( Isle of Caprice ) A nearsighted lifeguard who mistakes the Aardvark for a dog ( Dune Bug ) A toastmaster ant based on George Jessel ( I 've Got Ants in My Plans ) German version ( edit ) In German - dubbed versions of the cartoon , the male aardvark is transformed into a female anteater named Elise ( Eliza ) . Charlie ( voiced by Fred Maire ) remains male ; Elise is voiced by Marianne Wischmann . The cartoons are known under the title Die blaue Elise ( Blue Eliza ) .

He was the longest - reigning elected pope in the history of the Catholic Church , serving for over 31 years . During his pontificate , Pius IX convened the First Vatican Council ( 1869 -- 70 ) , which decreed papal infallibility , but the council was cut short owing to the loss of the Papal States . Europe , including the Italian peninsula , was in the midst of considerable political ferment when the bishop of Spoleto , Cardinal Giovanni Maria Mastai - Ferretti , was elected pope . He took the name Pius , after his generous patron and the long - suffering prisoner of Napoleon , Pius VII . He had been elected by the faction of cardinals sympathetic to the political liberalization coursing across Europe , and his initial governance of the Papal States gives evidence of his own moderate sympathies ; under his direction various sorts of political prisoners in the Papal States were released . A series of terrorist acts sponsored by Italian liberals and nationalists , which included the assassination of ( among others ) his Minister of the Interior , Pellegrino Rossi , and which forced him briefly to flee Rome in 1848 , along with widespread revolutions in Europe , led to his growing skepticism towards the liberal , nationalist agenda . Through the 1850s and 1860s , Italian nationalists made military gains against the Papal States , which culminated in the seizure of the city of Rome in 1870 and the dissolution of the Papal States . Thereafter , Pius IX refused to accept the Law of Guarantees from the Italian government , which would have made the Holy See dependent on legislation that the Italian parliament could modify at any time . Pius refused to leave Vatican City , and was thereafter referred to ( chiefly by himself ) as the `` Prisoner of the Vatican '' . His Church policies towards other countries , such as Russia , Germany or France , were not always successful , owing in part to changing secular institutions and internal developments within these countries . However , concordats were concluded with numerous states , such as Austria - Hungary , Portugal , Spain , Canada , Tuscany , Ecuador , Venezuela , Honduras , El Salvador and Haiti . Pius was a Marian pope , who in his encyclical Ubi primum described Mary as a Mediatrix of salvation . In 1854 , he promulgated the dogma of the Immaculate Conception , articulating a long - held Catholic belief that Mary , the Mother of God , was conceived without original sin . He conferred the title Our Mother of Perpetual Help on a famous Byzantine icon from Crete entrusted to the Redemptorists . In 1862 , he convened 300 bishops to the Vatican for the canonization of Twenty - six Martyrs of Japan . His 1864 Syllabus of Errors stands as a strong condemnation against liberalism , modernism , moral relativism , secularization , and separation of church and state , in effect definitively restating Catholic teaching regarding state recognition of the Catholic faith as the state religion as imperative in nations where the majority of the population is Catholic . However , his most important legacy is the First Vatican Council , which convened in 1869 , which defined the dogma of papal infallibility , but was interrupted as Italian nationalist troops threatened Rome . The council is considered to have contributed to a centralization of the Church in the Vatican , while also clearly defining the Pope 's doctrinal authority . Many contemporary Church historians and journalists question his approaches . His appeal for public worldwide support of the Holy See after he became `` the prisoner of the Vatican '' resulted in the revival and spread to the whole Catholic Church of Peter 's Pence , which is used today to enable the Pope `` to respond to those who are suffering as a result of war , oppression , natural disaster , and disease '' . After his death in 1878 , his canonization process was opened on 11 February 1907 by Pope Pius X , and it drew considerable controversy over the years . It was closed on several occasions during the pontificates of Pope Benedict XV and Pope Pius XI . Pope Pius XII re-opened the cause on 7 December 1954 , and Pope John Paul II proclaimed him Venerable on 6 July 1985 . He was beatified on 3 September 2000 after the recognition of a miracle . Pius IX was assigned the liturgical feast day of February 7 , the date of his death .

He was the ninth child born in Senigallia into the noble family of Girolamo dei conti Ferretti , and was baptized on the same day of his birth with the name of Giovanni Maria Giambattista Pietro Pellegrino Isidoro . He was educated at the Piarist College in Volterra and in Rome . As a theology student in his hometown Sinigaglia , in 1814 he met Pope Pius VII , who had returned from French captivity . In 1815 , he entered the Papal Noble Guard but was soon dismissed after an epileptic seizure . He threw himself at the feet of Pius VII , who elevated him and supported his continued theological studies . The pope originally insisted that another priest should assist Mastai during Holy Mass , a stipulation that was later rescinded , after the seizure attacks became less frequent . Mastai was ordained a priest on April 10 , 1819 . He initially worked as the rector of the Tata Giovanni Institute in Rome . Shortly before his death , Pius VII sent him as Auditor to Chile and Peru in 1823 and 1825 to assist the Apostolic Nuncio , Monsignore Giovanni Muzi and Monsignore Bradley Kane , in the first mission to post-revolutionary South America . The mission had the objective to map out the role of the Catholic Church in the newly independent South American republics . He was thus the first pope ever to have been in America . When he returned to Rome , the successor of Pius VII , Pope Leo XII appointed him head of the hospital of San Michele in Rome ( 1825 -- 1827 ) and canon of Santa Maria in Via Lata . Pope Leo XII appointed Father Mastai - Ferretti Archbishop of Spoleto in 1827 at the age of 35 . In 1831 , the abortive revolution that had begun in Parma and Modena spread to Spoleto ; the Archbishop obtained a general pardon after it was suppressed , gaining him a reputation for being liberal . During an earthquake , he made a reputation as an efficient organizer of relief and great charity . The following year he was moved to the more prestigious diocese of Imola , was made a cardinal in pectore in 1839 , and in 1840 was publicly announced as Cardinal - Priest of Santi Marcellino e Pietro . As in Spoleto , his episcopal priorities were the formation of priests through improved education and charities . He became known for visiting prisoners in jail , and for programs for street children . According to historians , Cardinal Mastai - Ferretti was considered a liberal during his episcopate in Spoleto and Imola because he supported administrative changes in the Papal States and sympathized with the nationalist movement in Italy . Papacy ( edit ) Papal styles of Pope Pius IX Reference style His Holiness Spoken style Your Holiness Religious style Holy Father Posthumous style Blessed Election ( edit ) Main article : Papal conclave , 1846 An 1846 sketch of Pope Pius IX soon after his election to the papacy The conclave of 1846 , following the death of Pope Gregory XVI ( 1831 -- 46 ) , took place in an unsettled political climate within Italy . The conclave was steeped in a factional division between conservatives and liberals . The conservatives favored the hardline stances and papal absolutism of the previous pontificate , while liberals supported moderate reforms . The conservatives supported Luigi Lambruschini , Gregory XVI 's Cardinal Secretary of State . Liberals supported two candidates : Pasquale Tommaso Gizzi and the then 54 - year - old Mastai - Ferretti . A fourth papabile was Cardinal Ludovico Micara , the Dean of the College of Cardinals , who was favored by the population of Rome itself , but never gained support among the cardinals . During the first ballot , Mastai - Ferretti received 15 votes , the rest going to Cardinal Lambruschini and Cardinal Gizzi . Lambruschini received a majority of the votes in the early ballots , but failed to achieve the required two - thirds majority . Cardinal Gizzi was favored by the French government but failed to get further support from the cardinals , and the conclave ended up ultimately as a contest between Lambruschini and Mastai - Ferretti . In the meantime , Cardinal Tommaso Bernetti reportedly received information that Karl Kajetan von Gaisruck , the Austrian Archbishop of Milan , was on his way to the conclave to veto the election of Mastai - Ferretti . The government of the Empire of Austria as represented by Prince Metternich in its foreign affairs objected to even the possible election of Mastai - Ferretti . According to historian Valèrie Pirie , Bernetti realized that if Lambruschini was to be stopped and Mastai - Ferretti was to be elected he had to convince the cardinals within a few hours or accept the election of Lambruschini . Bernetti then on his own initiative personally convinced the majority of the electors to switch their support to Mastai - Ferretti . Mastai - Ferretti himself however made no effort to campaign for the papacy , made no promises , and maintained aloofness throughout the process . Faced with deadlock and persuaded by Bernetti to keep Lambruschini from being elected pope , liberals and moderates decided to cast their votes for Mastai - Ferretti in a move that contradicted the general mood throughout Europe . By the second day of the conclave , on 16 June 1846 , during an evening ballot , Mastai - Ferretti was elected pope . `` He was a glamorous candidate , ardent , emotional with a gift for friendship and a track - record of generosity even towards anti-Clericals and Carbonari . He was a patriot , known to be critical of Gregory XVI . '' Because it was night , no formal announcement was given , just the signal of white smoke . Many Catholics had assumed that Gizzi had been elected pope . In fact , celebrations began to take place in his hometown , and his personal staff , following a long - standing tradition , burned his cardinalitial vestments . On the following morning , the senior Cardinal - Deacon , Tommaso Riario Sforza , announced the election of Mastai - Ferretti before a crowd of faithful Catholics . When Mastai - Ferretti appeared on the balcony , the mood became joyous . Mastai - Ferretti chose the name of Pius IX in honor of Pope Pius VII ( 1800 -- 23 ) , who had encouraged his vocation to the priesthood despite his childhood epilepsy . However , Mastai - Ferretti , now Pope Pius IX , had little diplomatic experience and no curial experience at all , a fact which did cause some controversy . Pius IX was crowned on 21 June 1846 . The election of the liberal Pius IX created much enthusiasm in Europe and elsewhere . For the next twenty months after the election , Pius IX was the most popular man on the Italian peninsula , where the exclamation `` Long life to Pius IX ! '' was often heard . English Protestants celebrated him as a `` friend of light '' and a reformer of Europe towards freedom and progress . He was elected without political influences from outside and in the best years of his life . He was pious , progressive , intellectual , decent , friendly , and open to everybody . Governing the Church ( edit ) Cardinal Giacomo Antonelli , Pius IX 's Secretary of State Centralization ( edit ) The end of the Papal States in the middle of the `` Italian boot '' around the central area of Rome was not the only important event in the long pontificate of Pius . His leadership of the Church contributed to an ever - increasing centralization and consolidation of power in Rome and the papacy . While his political views and policies were hotly debated , his personal life style was above any criticism ; he was considered a model of simplicity and poverty in his every day affairs . More than his predecessors , Pius used the papal pulpit to address the bishops of the world . The First Vatican Council ( 1869 -- 1870 ) , which he convened to consolidate papal authority further , was considered a milestone not only in his pontificate but also for Church history through its defining of the dogma of papal infallibility . Church rights ( edit ) The Church policies of Pius IX were dominated with a defence of the rights of the Church and the free exercise of religion for Catholics in countries like Russia and the Ottoman Empire . He also fought against what he perceived to be anti-Catholic philosophies in countries like Italy , Germany and France . Many of the Pope 's subjects wanted to be Italian instead . The soldiers who guarded the Pope from Italians ( between 1849 and 1870 ) were largely French and Austrian . The Pope considered moving to Germany ( see below ) . After the French defeat in the Franco - Prussian War of 1870 -- 1871 , the Papal States lost its protector in Emperor Napoleon III of the Second French Empire and were absorbed by the Kingdom of Italy . Imperial Germany actively persecuted the Church under the Kaisers for a decade after the war . Statue of Pope Pius IX , Basilica Santa Maria Maggiore , Rome , Italy Jubilees ( edit ) Pius IX celebrated several jubilees including the 300th anniversary of the Council of Trent . Pius celebrated the 1,800 th anniversary of the martyrdom of the Apostle Peter and Apostle Paul on 29 June 1867 with 512 bishops , 20,000 priests and 140,000 lay persons in Rome . A large gathering was organized in 1871 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of his papacy . The Italian government in 1870 outlawed many popular pilgrimages . The faithful of Bologna organized a nationwide `` spiritual pilgrimage '' to the pope and the tombs of the apostles in 1873 . In 1875 , Pius declared a Holy Year that was celebrated throughout the Catholic world . On the 50th anniversary of his episcopal consecration , people from all parts of the world came to see the old pontiff from 30 April 1877 to 15 June 1877 . He was a bit shy , but he valued initiative within the Church and created several new titles , rewards and orders to elevate those who in his view deserved merit . Consistories ( edit ) Main article : Cardinals created by Pius IX Pius IX created a total of 122 new Cardinals -- the then number limit of the College of Cardinals was 70 -- of which 64 were alive at his death . Noteworthy elevations to the `` red hat '' included Vincenzo Pecci , his eventual successor Leo XIII ; Nicholas Wiseman of Westminster ; Henry Edward Manning ; and John McCloskey , the first American ever to be elevated into the College of Cardinals . Canonizations and beatifications ( edit ) Pope Pius IX canonized a total of 52 saints during his pontificate . He canonized notable saints such as the Martyrs of Japan ( 8 June 1862 ) , Josaphat Kuntsevych ( 29 June 1867 ) , and Nicholas Pieck ( 29 June 1867 ) . Pius IX further beatified 222 individuals throughout his papacy , including the likes of Benedict Joseph Labre , Peter Claver , and his two predecessors Pope Eugene III and Pope Urban V . Doctors of the Church ( edit ) Pius IX named three new Doctors of the Church : Hilary of Poitiers ( 1851 ) , Alphonsus Liguori ( 1871 ) , and Francis de Sales ( 19 July 1877 ) . Sovereignty of the Papal States ( edit ) Main article : Papal States under Pope Pius IX An 1870 German drawing of Pius IX , described as Pope and King Pius IX was not only pope , but until 1870 , also the Sovereign Ruler of the Papal States . As a secular ruler he was occasionally referred to as `` king '' . However , whether this was ever a title accepted by the Holy See is unclear . One of the most fervent contemporary critics of his infallibility dogma , Ignaz von Döllinger , ( 1799 -- 1890 ) , considered the political regime of the pope in the Papal States `` as wise , well - intentioned , mild - natured , frugal and open for innovations '' . Yet there was controversy . In the period before the 1848 revolutions , Pius was a most ardent reformer advised by such innovative thinkers as Antonio Rosmini - Serbati ( 1797 -- 1855 ) , who were able to reconcile the new `` free '' thinking concerning human rights with the classical natural law tradition of the Church 's teaching in political affairs and economic order ( social justice teachings ) . After the revolution , however , his political reforms and constitutional improvements were considered minimalist , remaining largely within the framework of the 1850 laws mentioned above . Reforms in the Papal States ( edit ) St. Peter 's Square before Pope Pius IX added statues of Saints Peter and Paul In Pius IX 's early years as pope , the government of the Papal States improved agricultural technology and productivity via farmer education in newly created scientific agricultural institutes . It abolished the requirements for Jews to attend Christian services and sermons and opened the papal charities to the needy amongst them . The new pope freed all political prisoners by giving amnesty to revolutionaries , which horrified the conservative monarchies in the Austrian Empire and elsewhere . `` He was celebrated in New York City , London and Berlin as a model ruler . '' Governmental structure ( edit ) In 1848 , Pius IX released a new constitution titled the `` Fundamental Statute for the Secular Government of the States of the Church '' . The governmental structure of the Papal States reflected the dual spiritual - secular character of the papacy . The secular or laypersons were strongly in the majority with 6,850 persons versus 300 members of the clergy . Nevertheless , the clergy made key decisions and every job applicant had to present a character evaluation from his parish priest to be considered . Finance ( edit ) A view of the centre of Rome showing the Coloseum and Roman Forum around 1870 . Almost rural in character , it was known as the `` Campo Vaccino '' or `` cattle field '' Financial administration in the Papal States under Pius IX was increasingly put in the hands of laymen . The budget and financial administration in the Papal States had long been subject to criticism even before Pius IX . In 1850 , he created a government finance body ( `` congregation '' ) consisting of four laymen with finance background for the 20 provinces . Commerce and trade ( edit ) Pius IX is credited with systematic efforts to improve manufacturing and trade by giving advantages and papal prizes to domestic producers of wool , silk and other materials destined for export . He improved the transportation system by building roads , viaducts , bridges and seaports . A series of new railway links connected the Papal States to northern Italy . It became soon visible , that the Northern Italians were more adept to exploit economically the modern means of communication than the inhabitants in central and Southern Italy . Justice ( edit ) The justice system of the Papal States was subject to numerous accusations , not unlike the justice systems in the rest of Italy . There was a general lack of legal books and standards and accusations of partiality of the judges . Throughout Italy but also in the Papal States , mafia - type criminal bands threatened commerce and travellers in several regions , engaging in robbery and murder at will . 133 people were executed during Pius IX 's rule in the Papal States . Military ( edit ) Papal soldiers around 1860 The papal army in 1859 had 15,000 soldiers . A distinct military body was the specially - selected and trained Swiss Guard , who served as the Pope 's personal bodyguard . Universities ( edit ) A hagiographic presentation of Pius IX from 1873 The two papal universities in Rome and Bologna suffered much from revolutionary activities in 1848 but their standards in the areas of science , mathematics , philosophy and theology were considered adequate . Pius recognized that much had to be done and instituted a reform commission in 1851 . During his tenure , Catholics and Protestants collaborated to found a school in Rome to study international law and train international mediators committed to conflict resolution . Social life ( edit ) There was one newspaper , Giornale di Roma , and one periodical , Civilta Cattolica , run by Jesuits . When Marcantonio Pacelli , the grandfather of Eugenio Pacelli , approached Pius about an official newspaper , L'Osservatore Romano , which printed what the pope said and did the previous day , Pius turned him down . Pacelli published anyway , and Leo XIII bought it from him a few years later . Arts ( edit ) An 1870 view of the Lateran Like most of his predecessors , Pius IX was a patron of the arts . He supported art , architecture , painting , sculpture , music , goldsmiths , coppersmiths and more , and handed out numerous rewards to its representatives . Much of his efforts were oriented to Churches in Rome and in the Papal States , many of which were renovated and improved . Restorations and discoveries ( edit ) He ordered the strengthening of the Colosseum , which was threatened with collapse . Huge sums were spent in the discovery of Christian catacombs , for which Pius created a new archaeological commission in 1853 . Protestants and Jews ( edit ) Main article : Pope Pius IX and Judaism The Papal States were a theocracy in which the Catholic Church and Catholics had more rights than members of other religions . Pius IX 's policies became increasingly reactionary over time : At the beginning of his pontificate , together with other liberal measures , Pius opened the Jewish ghetto in Rome . After being returned by French troops from his exile in 1850 , during which the Roman Republic issued sharp anti-Church measures , the Pope issued a series of anti-liberal measures , including re-instituting the Ghetto . In 1858 , in a highly publicized case , the police of the Papal States seized a 6 - year - old Jewish boy , Edgardo Mortara , from his parents . A Christian servant girl of the family , fearing he would die , had reportedly informally baptized him six years prior while he was ill . The Papal state law forbid Christians being raised by Jews , even their own parents , and considered the informal baptism of the infant a valid religious conversion . The incident provoked widespread outrage amongst liberal Catholics and non-Catholics , and contributed to the growing anti-papal sentiment in Europe . The boy was raised in the papal household , and was eventually ordained a priest at age 21 . Policies toward other nations ( edit ) Statue of Saint Peter , surmounted in 1871 by an inscription regarding Pope Pius IX Pius IX was the last pope who was also a secular ruler as monarch of the Papal States , ruling over some 3 million people . In 1870 the Papal States were seized by force of arms by the newly founded Kingdom of Italy . The matter was only resolved in international law by the Lateran Treaty ( also known as the Lateran Pacts or Lateran Accords ) , agreed in 1929 between the Kingdom of Italy and the Holy See , the latter receiving financial compensation for the loss of the Papal States , in substitution of which Italy recognized the Vatican City State as an independent territorial state which is the expression of a sovereign entity in International law known as the Holy See . The latter , as before , maintains diplomatic relations with many other states . Italy ( edit ) Main article : Pope Pius IX and Italy Drawing of Pope Pius IX , 1848 -- 1850 Well aware of the political pressures within the Papal States , Pius IX 's first act of general amnesty for political prisoners did not consider the potential implications and consequences . The freed revolutionaries merely resumed their previous activities and his concessions only provoked greater demands as patriotic Italian groups sought not only a constitutional government -- which he was sympathetic to -- but also the Unification of Italy under his leadership and a war of liberation against Catholic Austria , which claimed the northern Italian provinces as its own . By early 1848 , all of Western Europe began to be convulsed in various revolutionary movements . The Pope , claiming to be above national interests , refused to go to war with Austria , which totally reversed the up to now popular view of him in his native Italy . In a calculated , well - prepared move , Rossi was assassinated on 15 November 1848 , and in the days following , the Swiss Guards were disarmed , making the Pope a prisoner in his palace . A Roman Republic was declared in February 1849 . Pius responded from his exile by excommunicating all participants . He visited the hospitals to comfort the wounded and sick but he seemed to have lost both some of his liberal tastes and his confidence in the Romans , who had turned against him in 1848 . Pius decided to move his residence from the Quirinal Palace inside Rome to the Vatican , where popes have lived ever since . He reformed the governmental structure of the Papal States on 10 September 1850 and its finances on 28 October in the same year . Inside Saint Peter 's around 1870 End of the Papal States ( edit ) After defeating the papal army on 18 September 1860 at the Battle of Castelfidardo , and on 30 September at Ancona , Victor Emmanuel took all the Papal territories except Latium with Rome . In 1866 he granted Pius IX the Law of Guarantees ( 13 May 1871 ) which gave the Pope the use of the Vatican but denied him sovereignty over this territory , nevertheless granting him the right to send and receive ambassadors and a budget of 3.25 million liras annually . Pius IX officially rejected this offer ( encyclical Ubi nos , 15 May 1871 ) . Mexico ( edit ) With French Emperor Napoleon III 's establishment of the Second Mexican Empire and Maximilian I of Mexico as its ruler in 1864 , the Church was looking for some relief from a friendly government after the anti-clerical actions of Benito Juárez . Juárez had recently suspended payment on foreign debt and seized Church property . Pius had blessed Maximilian and his wife Charlotte of Belgium before they set off for Mexico to begin their reign . But the friction between the Vatican and Mexico would continue with the new Emperor when Maximilian insisted on freedom of religion , which Pius opposed . Relations with the Vatican would only be resumed when Maximilian sent a recently converted American Catholic priest Father Fischer to Rome as his envoy . Contrary to Fischer 's reports back to Maximilian , the negotiations did not go well and the Vatican would not budge . Maximilian sent his wife Charlotte to Europe to plead against the withdrawal of French troops . After an unsuccessful attempt at negotiating with Napoleon III , Charlotte then traveled to Rome to plead with Pius in 1866 . As the days passed Charlotte 's mental state became overtly paranoid . She sought refuge with the pope , and she would eat and drink only what was prepared for him , fearful that everything else might be poisoned . The pope , though alarmed , was accommodating to her and even agreed to let her stay in the Vatican one night after she voiced anxiety about her safety . She and her assistant were the first women to stay the night inside the Vatican . United Kingdom ( edit ) England for centuries was considered missionary territory for the Catholic Church . In the wake of Catholic emancipation in the UK ( which then included all of Ireland ) , Pius IX changed that with the Bull Universalis Ecclesiae ( 29 September 1850 ) . He re-established the Catholic hierarchy in England and Wales , under the newly appointed Archbishop and Cardinal Nicholas Wiseman with 12 additional episcopal seats : Southwark , Hexham , Beverley , Liverpool , Salford , Shrewsbury , Newport , Clifton , Plymouth , Nottingham , Birmingham and Northampton . Some violent street protests against the `` papal aggression '' resulted in the Ecclesiastical Titles Act 1851 being passed by Parliament , which on penalty of imprisonment and fines forbade any Catholic bishop to use any episcopal title `` of any city , town or place , or of any territory or district ( under any designation or description whatsoever ) , in the United Kingdom '' . The law was never enforced and was repealed twenty years later . Netherlands ( edit ) The Dutch government instituted religious freedom for Catholics in 1848 . In 1853 , Pius erected the Archdiocese of Utrecht and four dioceses in Haarlem , Den Bosch , Breda and Roermond under it . As in England , this resulted in a popular outburst of anti-Catholic sentiment that soon subsided . Spain ( edit ) Pius IX elevated John McCloskey as the first American to the College of Cardinals on 15 March 1875 . Spain -- traditionally Catholic -- offered a challenge to Pius IX as anti-clerical governments were in power from 1832 , resulting in the expulsion of religious orders , the closing of convents , the closing of Catholic schools and libraries , the seizure and sale of churches and religious properties and the inability of the Church to fill vacant dioceses . In 1851 , Pius IX concluded a concordat with Queen Isabella II , which stipulated that unsold Church properties were to be returned , while the Church renounced properties that had already passed owners . This flexibility of Pius led to Spain guaranteeing the freedom of the Church in religious education . United States ( edit ) Main article : Pope Pius IX and the United States Pope Pius IX approved the unanimous request of American bishops that the Immaculate Conception be invoked as the Patroness of the United States of America on 7 February 1847 . A letter that Pius IX wrote to Jefferson Davis , addressing him as the `` Illustrious and Honorable President of the Confederate States of America '' , was seen by some as the highest international recognition the Confederate States of America ever received . Pius IX elevated Archbishop John McCloskey of New York as the first American to the College of Cardinals on 15 March 1875 . Canada ( edit ) Pius IX increased the number of Canadian dioceses from four to 21 with 1,340 churches and 1,620 priests in 1874 . Concordats ( edit ) Pius IX signed concordats with Spain , Austria , Tuscany , Portugal , Haiti , Honduras , Ecuador , Nicaragua , El Salvador and Russia . Austria ( edit ) The 1848 revolution had mixed results for the Catholic Church in Austria - Hungary . It freed the Church from the heavy hand of the state in its internal affairs , which was applauded by Pius IX . Similar to other countries , Austria - Hungary had significant anti-Catholic political movements , mainly liberals , which forced the emperor Franz - Joseph I in 1870 , to renounce the 1855 concordat with the Vatican . Austria had already in 1866 nullified several of its sections concerning the freedom of Catholic schools and prohibition of civil marriages . After diplomatic approaches failed , Pius responded with an encyclical on 7 March 1874 , demanding religious freedom and freedom of education . Despite these developments , there was no equivalent to the German Kulturkampf in Austria , and Pius created new dioceses throughout Austria - Hungary . Expulsion of the Russian envoy to the Holy See Felix von Meyendorff by Pope Pius IX for insulting the Catholic faith German Empire ( edit ) Main article : Pope Pius IX and Germany Russia ( edit ) Main articles : Pope Pius IX and Russia and Pope Pius IX and Poland The Pontificate of Pius IX began in 1847 with an `` Accomodamento '' , a generous agreement , which allowed Pius to fill vacant episcopal sees of the Latin rites both in Russia ( specifically the Baltic countries ) and the Polish provinces of Russia . The short - lived freedoms were undermined by the Orthodox Church , Polish political aspirations in the occupied lands and the tendency of imperial Russia to act against any dissent . Pius first tried to position himself in the middle , strongly opposing revolutionary and violent opposition against the Russian authorities and appealing to them for more Church freedom . After the failure of the Polish uprising in 1863 , Pius sided with the persecuted Poles , protesting their persecutions , infuriating the Tsarist government to the point that all Catholic dioceses were eliminated by 1870 . Pius criticized the Tsar -- without naming him -- for expatriating whole communities to Siberia , exiling priests , condemning them to labour camps and abolishing Catholic dioceses . He pointed to Siberian villages Tounka and Irkout , where in 1868 , 150 Catholic priests were awaiting death . Plans to leave Rome ( edit ) The Lateran Basilica Several times during his pontificate , Pius IX considered leaving Rome . One occurrence was in 1862 , when Giuseppe Garibaldi was in Sicily gathering volunteers for a campaign to take Rome under the slogan Roma o Morte ( Rome or Death ) . On 26 July 1862 , before Garibaldi and his volunteers were stopped at Aspromonte : Pius IX confided his fears to Lord Odo Russell , the British Minister in Rome , and asked whether he would be granted political asylum in England after the Italian troops had marched in . Odo Russell assured him that he would be granted asylum if the need arose , but said that he was sure that the Pope 's fears were unfounded . Two other instances occurred after the Capture of Rome and the suspension of the First Vatican Council . Otto von Bismarck confided these to Moritz Busch : As a matter of fact , he ( Pius IX ) has already asked whether we could grant him asylum . I have no objection to it -- Cologne or Fulda . It would be passing strange , but after all not so inexplicable , and it would be very useful to us to be recognised by Catholics as what we really are , that is to say , the sole power now existing that is capable of protecting the head of their Church ... But the King ( Wilhelm I ) will not consent . He is terribly afraid . He thinks all Prussia would be perverted and he himself would be obliged to become a Catholic . I told him , however , that if the Pope begged for asylum he could not refuse it . He would have to grant it as ruler of ten million Catholic subjects who would desire to see the head of their Church protected . Rumours have already been circulated on various occasions to the effect that the Pope intends to leave Rome . According to the latest of these the Council , which was adjourned in the summer , will be reopened at another place , some persons mentioning Malta and others Trient ... Doubtless the main object of this gathering will be to elicit from the assembled fathers a strong declaration in favour of the necessity of the Temporal Power . Obviously a secondary object of this Parliament of Bishops , convoked away from Rome , would be to demonstrate to Europe that the Vatican does not enjoy the necessary liberty , although the Act of Guarantee proves that the Italian Government , in its desire for reconciliation and its readiness to meet the wishes of the Curia , has actually done everything that lies in its power . Theology ( edit ) Main article : Theology of Pope Pius IX Pope Pius IX proclaimed two dogmas . Pius was adamant about his role as the highest teaching authority in the Church . He promoted the foundations of Catholic Universities in Belgium and France and supported Catholic associations with the intellectual aim to explain the faith to non-believers and non-Catholics . The Ambrosian Circle in Italy , the Union of Catholic Workers in France and the Pius Verein and the Deutsche Katholische Gesellschaft in Germany all tried to bring the Catholic faith in its fullness to people outside of the Church . Mariology ( edit ) Marian doctrines featured prominently in 19th century theology , especially the issue of the Immaculate Conception of Mary . During his pontificate , petitions increased requesting the dogmatization of the Immaculate Conception . In 1848 Pius appointed a theological commission to analyze the possibility for a Marian dogma . On 8 December 1854 he promulgated the apostolic constitution Ineffabilis Deus is an Apostolic constitution defining the dogma of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary . Thirty - eight encyclicals ( edit ) Main article : List of encyclicals of Pope Pius IX Pius issued a record 38 encyclicals . They include : Qui pluribus ( 1846 ) dealt with faith and religion Praedecessores nostros ( 1847 ) with aid for Ireland Ubi primum 1848 with The Immaculate Conception Nostis et nobiscum 1849 with the Church in the Papal States Neminem vestrum 1854 with the bloody persecution of Armenians Cum nuper 1858 with the care for Clerics Amantissimus 1862 with the care of the Churches Meridionali Americae 1865 with the Seminary for the Native Clergy Omnem sollicitudinem 1874 about the Greek - Ruthenian Rite Quod nunquam 1875 the Church in Prussia On 7 February 1862 he issued the papal constitution Ad universalis Ecclesiae , dealing with the conditions for admission to religious orders of men in which solemn vows are prescribed . Unlike popes in the 20th century , Pius IX did not use encyclicals to explain the faith , but to condemn what he considered errors . Pius IX was the first pope to popularize encyclicals on a large scale to foster his views . First Vatican Council ( edit ) The First Vatican Council presided over by Pius IX Pius decisively acted on the century - old disagreement between Dominicans and Franciscans regarding the Immaculate Conception of Mary , deciding in favor of the Franciscan view . However , this decision , which he formulated as an infallible dogma , raised a question : Can a pope make such decisions without the bishops ? This foreshadowed one topic of the First Vatican Council , which he later convened for 1869 . The Pope did consult the bishops beforehand with his encyclical Ubi primum ( see below ) , but insisted on having this issue clarified nevertheless . The Council was to deal with papal infallibility , enhancing the role of the papacy and decreasing the role of the bishops . The role of the bishops was to be dealt with at the Council , but it was disbanded because of the imminent attack by Italy against the Papal States . Thus , the major achievements of Pius IX are his Mariology and Vatican I . Influence ( edit ) Pius IX approved 74 new religious congregations for women alone . In France , Pius IX created over 200 new dioceses and created new hierarchies in several countries . Last years and death ( edit ) Pius IX in 1877 Pius IX 's death mask Pius IX lived just long enough to witness the death of his old adversary , Victor Emmanuel II of Italy , in January 1878 . As soon as he learned about the seriousness of the situation of the king , he absolved him of all excommunications and other ecclesiastical punishments . Pius IX died one month later on 7 February 1878 at 5 : 40 pm , of epilepsy , which led to a seizure and a sudden heart attack , while saying the rosary with his staff . Obelisk in honor of Pope Pius IX . Jalisco , Mexico Since 1868 , the pope was plagued first by facial erysipelas and then by open sores on his legs . Nevertheless , he insisted on celebrating daily Mass . The extraordinary heat of the summer of 1877 worsened the sores to the effect that he had to be carried . He underwent several painful medical procedures , which he undertook with remarkable patience . He spent most of his last few weeks in his library , where he received cardinals and held papal audiences . On 8 December , the Feast of the Immaculate Conception , his situation improved markedly to the point that he could walk again . By February , he could say Mass again on his own in standing position , enjoying the popular celebration of the 75th anniversary of his first communion . Bronchitis , a fall to the floor , and rising temperature worsened his situation after 4 February 1878 . He continued joking about himself : when the Cardinal Vicar of Rome ordered bell - ringing and non-stop prayers for his recuperation , the pope asked , `` Why do you want to stop me from going to heaven ? '' He told his doctor that his time had come . Pope Pius IX died on 7 February 1878 , aged 85 , concluding the longest pontificate in papal history , after that of St. Peter , whom tradition holds had reigned for 37 years . His last words were , `` Guard the church I loved so well and sacredly '' , as recorded by the cardinals kneeling beside his bedside . His body was originally buried in St. Peter 's grotto , but was moved in a night procession on 13 July 1881 to the Basilica of Saint Lawrence outside the Walls . When the cortege approached the Tiber River , a group of anticlerical Romans screaming `` Long live Italy ! Death to the Pope ! Death to the Priests ! '' threatened to throw the coffin into the river but a contingent of militia arrived to prevent this . The simple grave of Pius IX was changed by his successor , John Paul II , after his beatification . Beatification ( edit ) Portrait by George Peter Alexander Healy Card . Pecci ( future Leo XIII ) certifies the death of Pope Pius IX The process for his beatification , which in the early stages was strongly opposed by the Italian government , was begun on 11 February 1907 , and recommenced three times . The Italian government had since 1878 strongly opposed beatification of Pius IX . Without Italian opposition , Pope John Paul II declared him venerable on 6 July 1985 , and beatified him on 3 September 2000 ( his commemoration is 7 February ) . The beatification of Pius IX was controversial , and was criticized by some Jews and Christians because of what was perceived as his authoritarian , reactionary politics ; the accusation of abuse of episcopal powers ; and anti-Semitism ( most specifically the case of Edgardo Mortara , but also his reinstituting the Roman ghetto ) . Legacy ( edit ) Tomb of Blessed Pius IX Pius IX celebrated his silver jubilee in 1871 , going on to have the longest reign in the history of the post-apostolic papacy , 31 years , 7 months and 23 days . As his temporal sovereignty was lost , the Church rallied around him , and the papacy became more centralized , to which his personal life - style of simplicity and poverty is considered to have contributed . From this point on , the papacy became and continues to become increasingly a spiritual , and less a temporal , authority . Pius IX 's pontificate marks the beginning of the modern papacy . Having started as a liberal , Pius IX turned conservative after being thrown out of Rome . Thereafter , he was considered politically conservative , but a restless and radical reformer and innovator of Church life and structures . Church life , religious vocations , new foundations and religious enthusiasm all flourished at the end of his pontificate . Politically , his pontificate ended with the isolation of the papacy from most major powers of the world : `` The prisoner of the Vatican '' had poor relations with Russia , Germany , the United States , and France , and open hostility with Italy . Yet he was most popular with the faithful in all these countries , in many of which Pope Pius associations were formed in his support . He made lasting Church history with his 1854 infallible decision of the Immaculate Conception , which was the basis for the later dogma on the Assumption . His other lasting contribution is the invocation of the ecumenical council Vatican One , which promulgated the definition of Papal infallibility . With his advice he helped Saint John Bosco found the Salesian Society , for which reason he is also called `` don Bosco 's Pope '' . The Prophecy of the Popes , attributed to Saint Malachy , is a list of 112 short phrases in Latin . They purport to describe each of the popes . It describes Pius IX as Crux de Cruce , Cross of the cross . Picture showing the massacre of Perugia citizens by the papal troops , 20 June 1859 Pope Pius IX 's funeral In two nights after his 1846 pardon freeing all political prisoners , thousands of Romans with torches roamed to the Quirinal Palace , where Pius IX lived , celebrating the pope with Evvivas , speeches and music through both nights . The Pope went several times to the balcony to give his blessing . On the third day , when his horse - drawn carriage left the Palace to move to the Vatican , Romans unhitched the horses and pulled the papal carriage on their own . On 16 November 1848 , a crowd of revolutionaries moved to the Quirinal and the Parliament to present to the Pope their demands , especially war against Austria . The Pope reportedly replied , his dignity as head of state and of the Church does not permit him to fulfil conditions of rebels . Following this , the Quirinal was covered by cannon fire , which caused several deaths . After that , to save lives , the Pope agreed to a list of proposed ministers , although stating that he would abstain from any cooperation with them . After the French troops , who had previously protected the Papal States , left Rome , an Italian army with 60,000 men approached the city , which was defended by only 10,000 papal soldiers . The Pope instructed his hopelessly outnumbered soldiers to give only token resistance and to enter an armistice after the first defeat because the Deputy of Christ does not shed blood . When the old Porta Pia was bombarded , opening a huge hole for the invaders , the Pope asked the white flag to be shown . It was his last act as King of the Papal States . The last papal shot at the Porta Pia was fired by an Austrian alumnus of the Stella Matutina . Pius IX was lampooned by reference to the Italian version of his name ( Pio Nono ) , as Pio No No . His occasional mood changes and emotional outbursts have been interpreted as symptoms of his epilepsy . One enduring popular touch lies in Pius IX 's artistic legacy as author of the Italian - language lyrics of Italy 's best - known indigenous Christmas carol , `` Tu scendi dalle stelle '' ( `` From starry skies descended '' ) , originally a Neapolitan language song written by Saint Alphonsus Liguori . During his stay at the Kingdom of Two Sicilies , on 8 September 1849 , Pope Pius IX had the experience of a train trip from Portici to Pagani , so he became enthusiastic about this modern invention . When he went back to his seat in Rome , he promoted the growth of a railroad network , starting in 1856 with the Rome and Frascati Rail Road . By 1870 , the length of railway lines built in the Papal States was 317 kilometres ( 197 mi ) . He also introduced gas lighting and the telegraph to the Papal States . To commemorate his term as pope , a street in Montreal is called Pie - IX ( Pie - Neuf ) , French for Pius IX . There is also a stop on the Montreal Metro system called Pie - IX serving the street , located at the foot of the Olympic Stadium . In addition , streets in Santiago , Chile , and Macon , Georgia , are called Pío Nono , Italian for Pius IX and a secondary school with the same name ( Pio IX ) in Buenos Aires , Argentina . Various sweets in Spanish - speaking countries are also named piononos . Photos of Pope Pius IX ( edit ) The art of photography developed during Pius IX 's pontificate , and he was the first pope to be photographed , mainly in his later years . Some contemporaries of Pius IX like Cardinal Giuseppe Pecci considered photography inferior to painting and refused to be photographed . Pius , however , was open to the new form of art .

who was the longest reigning pope in church history
[ "Pope Pius IX (Italian: Pio; 13 May 1792 – 7 February 1878), born Giovanni Maria Mastai-Ferretti,[a] was head of the Catholic Church from 16 June 1846 to his death on 7 February 1878. He was the longest-reigning elected pope in the history of the Catholic Church, serving for over 31 years. During his pontificate, Pius IX convened the First Vatican Council (1869–70), which decreed papal infallibility, but the council was cut short owing to the loss of the Papal States." ]

Podres , with nine wins and ten losses during the regular season , beat the Yankees twice in the series ; both victories were complete games . Don Larsen won the 1956 World Series MVP after pitching the only no - hitter in World Series history , in the fifth game of the series ; the no - hitter was also a perfect game . Bobby Richardson won the 1960 World Series MVP while playing for the losing team in the series , the New York Yankees , and had 12 runs batted in , a World Series record ; he is also the only second baseman to win the World Series MVP . Depending upon definitions , the first non-American to win the award was either Roberto Clemente in 1971 or Pedro Guerrero in 1981 . In 1977 , Reggie Jackson hit three home runs in the deciding game , taking the nickname `` Mr. October '' , in which October is the month of the MLB postseason ; Jackson had a total of five home runs in the series , a World Series record . Willie Stargell won the 1979 World Series MVP at the age of 39 , and is the oldest World Series MVP . In 1996 , John Wetteland won the World Series MVP , setting a World Series record with four saves . Sixteen World Series MVPs were inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame ; Alan Trammel ( 1984 ) , Jack Morris ( 1991 ) , Paul Molitor ( 1993 ) , Tom Glavine ( 1995 ) , and Randy Johnson ( 2001 ) are the only Hall of Famers to have won the World Series MVP since 1981 . Molitor is also the first designated hitter to win the World Series MVP . Hideki Matsui , the 2009 winner , batted in six runs in the sixth game of the 2009 World Series , tying Richardson 's record of most runs batted in for a single World Series game . Matsui became the first Japanese - born player to win the award , as well as the first player to win it as a full - time designated hitter . He is also the only player named both a World Series and a Japan Series MVP . Hall of Famer Sandy Koufax won the award twice . Three players have won the award twice : Sandy Koufax ( 1963 , 1965 ) , Gibson ( 1964 , 1967 ) , and Jackson ( 1973 , 1977 ) ; Jackson is the only player to have won the award with two different teams . There have been two occasions on which multiple winners were awarded in the same World Series : Ron Cey , Pedro Guerrero , and Steve Yeager in 1981 , and Johnson and Schilling in 2001 . The duo of Johnson and Schilling combined for all four of Arizona 's wins in the 2001 World Series ; Johnson had three of them . Twelve of the fifty - eight World Series MVPs have also won the MLB MVP , the Cy Young Award , or the LCS MVP in the same season . Koufax ( 1963 ) , Frank Robinson ( 1966 ) , Jackson ( 1973 ) , Stargell , and Mike Schmidt ( 1980 ) are the only players to have won the MLB MVP and the World Series MVP . A total of six players won the Cy Young Award and the World Series MVP in the same season : Bob Turley ( 1958 ) , Whitey Ford ( 1961 ) , Koufax ( 1963 , 1965 ) , Bret Saberhagen ( 1985 ) , Orel Hershiser ( 1988 ) , and Johnson ( 2001 ) . Seven players have won the World Series MVP in the same season in which they won the LCS MVP : Stargell ( 1979 ) , Darrell Porter ( 1982 ) , Hershiser ( 1988 ) , Liván Hernández ( 1997 ) , Cole Hamels ( 2008 ) , David Freese ( 2011 ) , and Madison Bumgarner ( 2014 ) -- all of them were the NLCS MVPs . Koufax ( 1963 ) is the only person to have won the Cy Young Award , the MLB MVP , and the World Series MVP in the same season , while Stargell ( 1979 ) is the only person to have won the MLB MVP , the LCS MVP and the World Series MVP in the same season . Hershiser ( 1988 ) won the Cy Young Award , the LCS MVP and the World Series MVP in the same season . In the 4th inning of the 2015 All Star Game , 2014 World Series MVP Madison Bumgarner pitched to future 2015 World Series MVP Salvador Pérez , who struck out but reached first due to a passed ball . This was the first time the previous year 's MVP faced the current year 's future MVP in the All Star Game . Bumgarner and Pérez also faced each other in the final play of the 2014 World Series : Pérez popped out . References ( edit ) General `` World Series History : Most Valuable Players '' .

It is a useful tool for ranking projects because it allows you to quantify the amount of value created per unit of investment . The ratio is calculated as follows : Profitability index = PV of future cash flows Initial investment ( \ displaystyle ( \ text ( Profitability index ) ) = ( \ frac ( \ text ( PV of future cash flows ) ) ( \ text ( Initial investment ) ) ) ) Assuming that the cash flow calculated does not include the investment made in the project , a profitability index of 1 indicates breakeven . Any value lower than one would indicate that the project 's present value ( PV ) is less than the initial investment . As the value of the profitability index increases , so does the financial attractiveness of the proposed project . Rules for selection or rejection of a project : If PI > 1 then accept the project If PI < 1 then reject the project For example : Investment = $40,000 Life of the Machine = 5 Years CFAT Year CFAT 1 18000 2 12000 3 10000 4 9000 5 6000 Calculate Net present value at 10 % and PI : Year CFAT PV@10 % PV 1 18000 0.909 16362 2 12000 0.827 9924 3 10000 0.752 7520 4 9000 0.683 6147 5 6000 0.621 3726 Total present value 43679 ( - ) Investment 40000 NPV 3679 PI = 43679 / 40000 = 1.091 > 1 ⇒ Accept the project References ( edit ) External links ( edit ) Use explained in the business book : Pursuing the Competitive Edge , Hayes , Pisano , Upton and Wheelwright .

He spent his weekends performing with the Evening Birds , a musical ensemble , and it was at Gallo Records , under the direction of producer Griffiths Motsieloa , that Linda and his fellow musicians recorded several songs including `` Mbube , '' which incorporated a call - response pattern common among many Sub-Saharan African ethnic groups , including the Zulu . According to journalist Rian Malan : `` Mbube '' was n't the most remarkable tune , but there was something compelling about the underlying chant , a dense meshing of low male voices above which Solomon yodelled and howled for two exhilarating minutes , improvising occasionally . The third take was the best , achieving immortality when Solly took a deep breath , opened his mouth , and improvised the melody that the world now associates with these words : In the jungle , the mighty jungle , the lion sleeps tonight . Issued by Gallo as a 78 - rpm record in 1939 , and marketed to black audiences , `` Mbube '' became a hit and Linda a star throughout South Africa . By 1948 , the song had sold over 100,000 copies in Africa and among black South African immigrants in Great Britain . Linda also lent its name to a style of African a cappella music that evolved into isicathamiya ( also called mbube ) , popularized by Ladysmith Black Mambazo . In 1949 , Alan Lomax , then working as folk music director for Decca Records , brought Solomon Linda 's 78 recording to the attention of his friend Pete Seeger of the folk group The Weavers . In November 1951 , after having performed the song for at least a year in their concerts , The Weavers recorded an adapted version with brass and string orchestra and chorus and released it as a 78 single entitled `` Wimoweh '' , a mishearing of the original song 's chorus of `` Uyimbube '' , Zulu : You are a lion . Their version contained the chanting chorus `` Wimoweh '' and Linda 's improvised melodic line . The Weavers credited the song as `` Traditional '' , with arrangement by `` Paul Campbell '' , later found to be a pseudonym used by the Weavers in order to claim royalties . It reached Billboard 's top ten and became a staple of The Weavers ' live repertoire , achieving further exposure on their best - selling The Weavers at Carnegie Hall LP album , recorded in 1955 and issued in 1957 . The song was also covered extensively by other folk revival groups such as The Kingston Trio , and exotica singer Yma Sumac . However , Miriam Makeba , in 1960 , recorded the same song as `` Mbube '' , with the writing credit given to `` J. Linda '' . In 1961 , two RCA records producers , Hugo Peretti and Luigi Creatore , hired Juilliard - trained musician and lyricist George David Weiss to arrange a pop music cover of `` Wimoweh '' , for the B - side of a 45 - rpm single called `` Tina , '' sung by the teenage doo - wop group The Tokens . Weiss wrote the English lyrics : `` In the jungle , the mighty jungle , The lion sleeps tonight ... '' and `` Hush , my darling , do n't fear , my darling ... '' Weiss also brought in soprano Anita Darian to reprise Yma Sumac 's version , before , during and after the saxophone solo . `` The Lion Sleeps Tonight '' was issued by RCA in 1961 , and it rocketed to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 . Weiss ' Abilene Music Inc. , was the publisher of this arrangement , and listed `` Albert Stanton '' ( a pseudonym for Al Brackman , the business partner of Pete Seeger 's music publisher , Howie Richmond ) , as one of the song 's writers or arrangers . Copyright issues ( edit ) Social historian Ronald D. Cohen writes , `` Howie Richmond copyrighted many songs originally in the public domain ( sic ) but now slightly revised to satisfy Decca and also to reap profits . '' Canadian writer Mark Steyn , on the other hand , attributes the invention of the pseudonym `` Paul Campbell '' to Pete Seeger . Howie Richmond 's claim of author 's copyright could secure both the songwriter 's royalties and his company 's publishing share of the song 's earnings . Although Linda was listed as a performer on the record itself , the Weavers thought he had recorded a traditional Zulu song . Their managers , publisher , and their attorneys knew otherwise because they had been contacted by -- and had reached an agreement with -- Eric Gallo of Gallo Records in South Africa . The Americans maintained , however , that South African copyrights were not valid because South Africa was not a signatory to U.S. copyright law . In the 1950s , after Linda 's authorship was made clear , Seeger sent Linda $1000 . Seeger also instructed TRO / Folkways to henceforth pay his share of authors ' earnings to Linda . The folksinger apparently trusted his publisher 's word of honor and either saw no need , or was unable to make sure these instructions were carried out . In 2000 , South African journalist Rian Malan wrote a feature article for Rolling Stone magazine in which he recounted Linda 's story and estimated that the song had earned $15 million for its use in the Disney movie The Lion King alone . The piece prompted filmmaker François Verster to create the Emmy - winning documentary A Lion 's Trail , that told Linda 's story while incidentally exposing the workings of the multi-million dollar corporate music publishing industry . In July 2004 , as a result of the publicity generated by Malan 's article and the subsequent documentary , the song became the subject of a lawsuit between Linda 's estate and Disney , claiming that Disney owed $1.6 million in royalties for the use of `` The Lion Sleeps Tonight '' in the film and musical stage productions of The Lion King . At the same time , the Richmond Organization began to pay $3,000 annually into Linda 's estate . In February 2006 , Linda 's descendants reached a legal settlement with Abilene Music Publishers , who held the worldwide rights and had licensed the song to Disney , to place the earnings of the song in a trust .

Buff denotes those won by Taylor / Fillmore , blue denotes states won by Cass / Butler . Numbers indicate the number of electoral votes allotted to each state . President before election James K. Polk Democratic Elected President Zachary Taylor Whig The United States presidential election of 1848 was the 16th quadrennial presidential election , held on Tuesday , November 7 , 1848 . In the aftermath of the Mexican - American War , General Zachary Taylor of the Whig Party defeated Senator Lewis Cass of the Democratic Party . The contest was the first presidential election that took place on the same day in every state , and it was the first time that Election Day was statutorily a Tuesday . Despite Taylor 's unclear political affiliations and beliefs , and the Whig opposition to the Mexican - American War , the 1848 Whig National Convention nominated the popular general over party stalwarts such as Henry Clay and Daniel Webster . For vice president , the Whigs nominated Millard Fillmore , a New York Whig known for his moderate views on slavery . Incumbent President James K. Polk , a Democrat , honored his promise not to seek re-election , leaving his party 's nomination open . The 1848 Democratic National Convention rejected former President Martin Van Buren 's bid for a second term , instead nominating Senator Lewis Cass of Michigan . Van Buren broke from his party to lead the ticket of the Free Soil Party , which opposed to the extension of slavery into the territories . The Whig choice of Zachary Taylor was made almost out of desperation ; he was not clearly committed to Whig principles , but he was popular for leading the war effort . The Democrats had a record of prosperity and had acquired the Mexican cession and parts of Oregon country . It appeared almost certain that they would win unless the Whigs picked Taylor . Taylor won a plurality of the popular vote and a majority of the electoral vote , while Van Buren won 10.1 % of the popular vote , a strong showing for a third party candidate . Taylor 's victory made him the second of two Whigs to win a presidential election , following William Henry Harrison 's victory in the 1840 presidential election . Like Harrison , Taylor died during his term , and he was succeeded by Fillmore . Discounting Republican Abraham Lincoln 's 1864 re-election on the National Union ticket , Taylor is the most recent individual who was not a member of the Democratic or Republican parties to win a presidential election .

Taylor ultimately declared himself a Whig , and easily took their nomination , receiving 171 delegate votes to defeat Henry Clay , Winfield Scott , Daniel Webster and others . After Webster turned down the vice-presidential candidacy , Millard Fillmore received the party 's nomination for vice-president , defeating -- among others -- Abbott Lawrence , a Massachusetts politician whose mild opposition to slavery led him to be dubbed a `` Cotton Whig '' . Democratic Party nomination ( edit ) Main article : 1848 Democratic National Convention Democratic Party Ticket , 1848 Lewis Cass William O. Butler for President for Vice President U.S. Senator from Michigan ( 1845 -- 1848 ) Former U.S. Representative for Kentucky 's 13th ( 1839 -- 1843 ) Campaign Cass / Butler campaign poster Former President Martin Van Buren once again sought the Democratic nomination , but Lewis Cass was nominated on the fourth ballot . Cass had served as Governor and Senator for Michigan , as well as Secretary of War under Andrew Jackson , and from 1836 to 1842 as ambassador to France . General William O. Butler was nominated to join Cass on the ticket , garnering 169 delegate votes to defeat five other candidates , including future Vice-President William R. King and future Confederate President Jefferson Davis . The Democrats chose a platform that remained silent on slavery , and with Cass suspected of pro-slavery leanings , many anti-slavery Democrats walked out of the Baltimore convention to begin the Free Soil Party . Van Buren had burned for the nomination , but he had wanted it on a Free Soil platform . Neither his name nor his stand received any support at the Democratic convention . Free Soil Party nomination ( edit ) Main article : 1848 Free Soil & Liberty national Conventions Free Soil Party Ticket , 1848 Martin Van Buren Charles Francis Adams for President for Vice President 8th President of the United States ( 1837 -- 1841 ) Former Massachusetts State Senator ( 1844 -- 1845 ) Campaign Van Buren / Adams The Free Soil Party , was organized for the 1848 election to oppose further expansion of slavery into the western territories . Much of its support came from disaffected anti-slavery Barnburner Democrats and Conscience Whigs , including former President Martin Van Buren . The party was led by Salmon P. Chase and John Parker Hale and held its 1848 convention in Utica and Buffalo , New York . On June 22 , Van Buren defeated Hale by a 154 - 129 delegate count to capture the Free Soil nomination , while Charles Francis Adams , whose father ( John Quincy Adams ) and grandfather ( John Adams ) had both served as president , was chosen as the vice-presidential nominee . Van Buren knew that the Free Soilers had not the slightest chance of winning , rather that his candidacy would split the Democratic vote and throw the election to the Whigs . Bitter and aging , Van Buren did not care despite the fact his life had been built upon the rock of party solidarity and party regularity . He loathed Lewis Cass and the principle of popular sovereignty with equal intensity . Liberty Party nomination ( edit ) Main article : 1848 Free Soil & Liberty national Conventions Despite their significant showing in the prior presidential election , certain events would conspire to remove the Liberty Party from political significance . Initially , the nomination was to be decided in the fall of 1847 at a Convention in Buffalo , New York . There , Senator John P. Hale was nominated over Gerrit Smith , brother - in - law to the party 's previous nominee James G. Birney . Leicester King , a former judge and state senator in Ohio , was nominated to be Hale 's running mate . Anti-slavery Democrats and Whigs , disappointed with their respective nominees , would form a new movement in conjunction with members of the Liberty Party such as John Hale and Salmon Chase to form the Free Soil Party that summer . At this point , both Hale and King withdrew in favor of a Free Soil ticket led by former President Martin Van Buren , and the great majority of members of the Liberty Party followed them into the new political party . A small faction refused to support Van Buren for the presidency , however . They held another convention in June 1848 as the `` National Liberty Party . '' Gerrit Smith was nominated almost unanimously with Charles Foote , a religious minister from Michigan , as his running - mate . Other nominations ( edit ) The Native American Party , a precursor to the Know Nothings , which had split from the Whig Party in 1845 , met in September 1847 in Philadelphia , where they nominated Zachary Taylor for president and Henry A.S. Dearborn of Massachusetts for vice-president . However , when the Whig Party nominated Taylor for the presidency with Millard Fillmore as his running mate the following year , this rendered his previous nomination moot and the Native American Party failed to make an alternate nomination . General election ( edit ) Campaign ( edit ) The campaign was fought without much enthusiasm , and practically without an issue . Neither of the two great parties made an effort to rally the people to the defense of any important principle . Whig campaigners , who included Abraham Lincoln and Rutherford B. Hayes , talked up Taylor 's `` antiparty '' opposition to the Jacksonian commitment to the spoils system and yellow - dog partisanship . In the South , they stressed that he was a Louisiana slaveholder , while in the North they highlighted his Whiggish willingness to defer to Congress on major issues ( which he subsequently did not do ) . Democrats repeated , as they had for many years , their opposition to a national bank , high tariffs , and federal subsidies for local improvements . The Free Soilers branded both major parties lackeys of the Slave Arm , arguing that the rich planters controlled the agenda of both parties , leaving the ordinary white man out of the picture . They had to work around Van Buren 's well - known reputation for compromising with slavery . The Whigs had the advantage of highlighting Taylor 's military glories . With Taylor remaining vague on the issues , the campaign was dominated by personalities and personal attacks , with the Democrats calling Taylor vulgar , uneducated , cruel and greedy , and the Whigs attacking Cass for graft and dishonesty . The division of the Democrats over slavery allowed Taylor to dominate the Northeast . The Free Soilers were on the ballots in only 17 of the 29 states with the popular vote , making it mathematically possible for Van Buren to win the presidency , but he had no real chance . Still , the party campaigned vigorously , particularly in the traditional Democrat strongholds in the northeast . While some Free Soilers were hopeful of taking enough states to throw the election into the House of Representatives , Van Buren himself knew this was a long shot and that the best that his party could do was lay the groundwork for a hopefully improved showing in 1852 . 1848 Campaign Artwork Artwork for `` Fort Harrison March , '' a campaign song for Zachary Taylor 's presidential campaign which recalled his triumph at the Siege of Fort Harrison in 1812 . Political cartoon about the election campaign , titled `` Shooting the Christmas Turkey '' `` Grand Presidential sweep - stakes '' - political cartoon of the three main candidates Results ( edit ) Results by county explicitly indicating the percentage of the winning candidate in each county . Shades of yellow are for Taylor ( Whig ) , shades of blue are for Cass ( Democrat ) , and shades of green are for Van Buren ( Free Soil ) . `` Cock of the walk '' - Zachary Taylor as victor With Taylor as their candidate , the Whigs won their second and last victory in a Presidential election . Taylor won the electoral college by capturing 163 of the 290 electoral votes . However , the popular vote was close . Although Taylor out - polled Cass in the popular vote by 138,000 votes , he came 79,000 votes shy of a majority . Thus , with 47 % of the popular vote , Taylor was elected as a minority president . A study of the county returns reveals that Free Soil strength drawn at the expense of the major parties differed by region . In the East North Central States , it appears at least the majority of the Free Soil strength was drawn from the Whig Party . Conversely , in the Middle Atlantic region , Free Soil bases of strength lay in the areas which had hitherto been Democratic , particularly in New York and northern Pennsylvania . The Free Soil Democrats nomination of Van Buren made the victory of Taylor nearly certain in New York . On election day , enough Democratic votes were drawn away by Van Buren to give the Whig ticket all but two Democratic counties , thus enabling it to carry hitherto impregnable parts of upper New York state . The Democrats , confronted with an irreparable schism in New York , lost the election . In New England , the Democratic vote declined by 33,000 from its 1844 level , while the Whig vote likewise declined by 15,000 votes . The third - party vote tripled , and the total vote remained nearly stationary -- a partial indication , perhaps , of the derivation of the Free Soil strength in this section . For the first time since the existence of the Whig Party , the Whigs failed to gain an absolute majority of the vote in Massachusetts and Vermont . In addition , the Democrats failed to retain their usual majority in Maine ; thus only New Hampshire ( Democratic ) and Rhode Island ( Whig ) of the states in this section gave their respective victorious parties clear - cut majorities . Of the 1,464 counties / independent cities making returns , Cass placed first in 753 ( 51.43 % ) , Taylor in 676 ( 46.17 % ) , and Van Buren in 31 ( 2.12 % ) . Four counties ( 0.27 % ) in the West split evenly between Taylor and Cass . This was the first time in the Second Party System in which the victorious party failed to gain at least a plurality of the counties as well as of the popular vote . As one historian remarks , somewhat sarcastically , practically the only thing it decided was that a Whig general should be made President because he had done effective work in carrying on a Democratic war . This was the last election in which Connecticut , Delaware , Florida , Georgia , Louisiana , Maryland , New Jersey , New York , North Carolina , Pennsylvania , and Rhode Island voted for the Whigs . It was also the last time that Georgia voted against the Democrats until 1964 , the last time Delaware and Louisiana did so until 1872 , the last time Florida and North Carolina did so until 1868 , and the last time New Jersey and Pennsylvania did so until 1860 .

whom did the free-soil party nominate as its presidential candidate in 1848
[ "Despite Taylor's unclear political affiliations and beliefs, and the Whig opposition to the Mexican-American War, the 1848 Whig National Convention nominated the popular general over party stalwarts such as Henry Clay and Daniel Webster. For vice president, the Whigs nominated Millard Fillmore, a New York Whig known for his moderate views on slavery. Incumbent President James K. Polk, a Democrat, honored his promise not to seek re-election, leaving his party's nomination open. The 1848 Democratic National Convention rejected former President Martin Van Buren's bid for a second term, instead nominating Senator Lewis Cass of Michigan. Van Buren broke from his party to lead the ticket of the Free Soil Party, which opposed to the extension of slavery into the territories." ]

NBC then sent the script to Fox executives who read it over that following weekend . On January 30 , 2012 , Fox greenlit the pilot , with Mindy Kaling attached to star . On May 9 , 2012 , Fox placed a series order for the comedy . Two days later , the title was changed from It 's Messy to The Mindy Project . On August 27 , 2012 , the pilot episode was made available to view online on various sites including Fox , in an attempt to garner interest in the series . On October 8 , 2012 , Fox ordered a full season of The Mindy Project . On March 4 , 2013 , the series was renewed for a second season , which began on September 17 , 2013 . On November 21 , 2013 , Fox announced that The Mindy Project would take a mid-season hiatus , before returning on April 1 , 2014 . Fox announced the third season renewal of The Mindy Project on March 7 , 2014 . On May 6 , 2015 , Fox cancelled the series after three seasons . On May 15 , 2015 Hulu picked up the show , commissioning a 26 episode fourth season . On May 4 , 2016 , Hulu announced it had picked up the series for a 16 - episode season 5 , which was later reduced to 14 . On March 29 , 2017 , Kaling announced the series would return for a sixth and final season . Casting ( edit ) Casting announcements for the remaining series regular roles began in February 2012 , with Ed Weeks cast in the role of Dr. Jeremy Reed , a sexy , British doctor in the practice . Zoe Jarman and Dana Delorenzo then joined in series regular roles . Jarman signed on to play Betsy Putch , an upbeat receptionist at the practice ; whilst Delorenzo joined as Shauna Dicanio , a young , party loving receptionist in the practice . In mid-March , Chris Messina joined the cast as Dr. Danny Castellano , an arrogant doctor who works at the practice . Shortly after , Anna Camp boarded the series as Gwen Grandy , a stay - at - home mom and Mindy 's best friend . A few months later , Amanda Setton , Stephen Tobolowsky and Ike Barinholtz joined the series . Setton replaced Dana DeLorenzo in the role of Shauna ; Tobolowsky joined in the series regular role of Dr. Marc Shulman , the senior partner of the practice ; and Barinholtz signed onto the recurring role of Morgan Tookers , a quirky rehabilitated ex-con who joins the practice as a nurse . Cast Changes ( edit ) The first change occurred when Stephen Tobolowsky 's role was eliminated after the second episode -- following re-shoots that saw his character be re-written into a mere authoritarian figure in the office -- when it was decided that `` they did n't really want Mindy to have a boss in the office '' . Tobolowsky returned , albeit in a voice - over only role , in the eighth episode to explain that his character had retired . The second change of the season , which was first reported on November 20 , 2012 , saw Amanda Setton 's role also eliminated entirely and Anna Camp downgraded to a recurring cast member . They both departed after the twelfth episode . Despite becoming a recurring cast member , Camp only made a single appearance in the seventeenth episode . Neither Setton or Camp 's characters had their absence referenced , nor were they mentioned again . The first change for the second season , which occurred before production of the season began , saw Xosha Roquemore upgraded to a series regular role after recurring in the final three episodes of the previous season . The second change , which occurred just prior to the production of the season 's fifth episode , resulted in Adam Pally also being upgraded to a series regular role . He had previously signed onto the series in a recurring role but had filmed only two episodes prior to being promoted . The first change of the third season occurred prior to the start of production and saw Zoe Jarman 's role eliminated from the show . Like Setton and Camp 's departures in the first season , the absence of her character was never addressed . The second cast change of the season was announced on November 21 , 2014 , and saw Adam Pally leave the series after the season 's thirteenth episode . His departure after the thirteenth episode of the season was a condition of his upgrade to a series regular that had occurred the previous year . It was reported that Pally is `` expected to make occasional guest appearances '' . Pally made multiple guest appearances after his departure , where he was still credited amongst the regular cast in episodes he appeared , making his final appearance as a part of the main cast in the third - season finale . In December 2015 it was reported that Fortune Feimster had been upgraded to a series regular role beginning with the fourteenth episode of the fourth season , after appearing in seven of the first thirteen episodes . Garret Dillahunt joined the show in a major recurring role as Dr. Jody Kimball - Kinney . In June 2016 , it was announced that Chris Messina would not be returning as a series regular for season five , but will instead appear as a guest star . Reception ( edit ) Critical reception ( edit ) The Mindy Project received positive reviews from critics , with many highlighting Kaling 's performance and her unique character , as well as the writing and directing . On Rotten Tomatoes , the first season has a rating of 81 % , based on 48 reviews , with an average rating of 7 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` The Mindy Project is such a charming comedy , led by Mindy Kaling 's impressive talent , that its faults are easy to forgive . '' Review aggregation website Metacritic , which assigns a weighted mean based on reviews from mainstream critics , season one received a score of 69 out of 100 , based on 32 critics , indicating `` generally favorable reviews '' . It was the number - six best - reviewed show according to the site 's fall 2012 season . On Rotten Tomatoes , Season 2 has a rating of 89 % , based on 18 reviews , with an average rating of 6.8 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` Mindy Kaling earns consistent laughs with wit , charm and physical comedy , as she and her cast grow into well - rounded and familiar , albeit peculiar , characters . '' On Metacritic , the second season has a score of 55 out of 100 , based on four critics , indicating `` mixed or average reviews '' . Season 3 of the show holds a rating of 82 % on Rotten Tomatoes with the critical consensus reading , `` The Mindy Project , while still wildly funny , travels further into rom - com country this season . '' Season 4 of the show has a score of 81 out of 100 on the review aggregate website Metacritic , based on 5 reviews , indicating `` universal acclaim '' . Controversy ( edit ) The Mindy Project has been the object of intense scrutiny not only from traditional media forms but also from feminists and people of color , who often weigh in on the show 's decisions in casting and writing . At the end of the first season , Jezebel posted an article called `` Mindy Kaling Only Makes Out with White Guys '' , a critique of the casting of romantic leads on the show . The same article contains a response from Nisha Chittal , who has defended Kaling 's success in the past , who applauded the show for not making Kaling 's race central to her character , and for showing that an Indian woman could date non-Indian men . During the second season , the episode `` Mindy Lahiri Is a Racist '' provoked discussion as to whether or not Kaling had made `` reparations '' for showing a predominantly white cast . Before the third season began airing , Kaling was criticized for a comment in a Flare article entitled `` She 's the Boss '' , in which she stated that the show would not address abortion , as `` it would be demeaning to the topic to talk about it in a half - hour sitcom . '' In an appearance on The Colbert Report two weeks later , she clarified : A lot of women look to me and look to the show , and they want me to be a spokesperson for a lot of issues , and I actually think that 's a responsibility that 's cool , I want to live up to that ... I want to be able to talk plainly on things but I also want to create an entertaining show . We have n't found a hilarious take on abortion that has not been done yet -- but we might . I have faith in us . Ratings ( edit ) Season # Ep .

Brand New Key
Brand New key - wikipedia Brand New key Jump to : navigation , search `` Brand New Key '' Single by Melanie from the album Gather Me B - side `` Some Say ( I Got Devil ) '' Released October 1971 Genre Folk , pop Length 2 : 26 Label Neighborhood Songwriter ( s ) Melanie Safka Producer ( s ) Peter Schekeryk Melanie singles chronology `` Ruby Tuesday '' ( 1970 ) `` Brand New Key '' ( 1971 ) `` The Nickel Song '' ( 1972 ) `` Ruby Tuesday '' ( 1970 ) `` Brand New Key '' ( 1971 ) `` The Nickel Song '' ( 1972 ) `` Brand New Key '' is a pop song written and sung by folk music singer Melanie . Initially a track of Melanie 's album Gather Me , produced by Melanie 's husband , Peter Schekeryk , it was known also as `` The Rollerskate Song '' due to its chorus . It was her greatest success , scoring No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart during December 1971 and January 1972 . Billboard ranked it as the No. 9 song of 1972 . It also scored No. 1 in Canada and Australia and No. 4 on the UK Singles Chart . The song was featured in the 1997 movie Boogie Nights as well as the 2010 movie Jackass 3D and an episode of Helix . Contents ( hide ) 1 Overview 2 Controversy 3 Chart performance 3.1 Weekly charts 3.2 Year - end charts 4 Selected list of recorded versions 5 Parodies and other versions 6 References in popular culture 7 References Overview ( edit ) The song is sung from the viewpoint of a girl with roller skates trying to attract the attention of a boy . In an interview with Examiner.com , Melanie described what she claimed was the inspiration for the song : `` I was fasting with a 27 - day fast on water . I broke the fast and went back to my life living in New Jersey and we were going to a flea market around six in the morning . On the way back ... and I had just broken the fast , from the flea market , we passed a McDonald 's and the aroma hit me , and I had been a vegetarian before the fast . So we pulled into the McDonald 's and I got the whole works ... the burger , the shake , and the fries ... and no sooner after I finished that last bite of my burger ... that song was in my head . The aroma brought back memories of roller skating and learning to ride a bike and the vision of my dad holding the back fender of the tire . And me saying to my dad ... ' You 're holding , you 're holding , you 're holding , right ? ' Then I 'd look back and he was n't holding and I 'd fall . So that whole thing came back to me and came out in this song . '' Controversy ( edit ) Many listeners detect sexual innuendo in the lyrics , with the key in its lock thought to symbolize sexual intercourse , or in phrases such as `` I go pretty far '' and `` I 've been all around the world '' . Another common viewpoint on the song , is that the song is clearly an innocent reflection upon the typical workings of a child 's mind regarding their possessions ( In this case , quad skates and the associated key essential for tightening / loosening a locking clamp on the skates ) . Melanie has acknowledged the possibility of detecting sexual innuendo in the song , without confirming or denying the intent : ( The song ) , `` Brand New Key '' , I wrote in about fifteen minutes one night . I thought it was cute ; a kind of old thirties tune . I guess a key and a lock have always been Freudian symbols , and pretty obvious ones at that . There was no deep serious expression behind the song , but people read things into it . They made up incredible stories as to what the lyrics said and what the song meant . In some places , it was even banned from the radio . My idea about songs is that once you write them , you have very little say in their life afterward . It 's a lot like having a baby . You conceive a song , deliver it , and then give it as good a start as you can . After that , it 's on its own . People will take it any way they want to take it .

Parodies and other versions ( edit ) A version of the song entitled `` Combine Harvester '' , with new rustic - themed lyrics by Irish songwriter Brendan O'Shaughnessy ( including `` I 've got a brand new combine harvester An ' I 'll give you the key '' ) , was recorded by Irish comedian Brendan Grace , whose version scored No. 1 on the Irish Charts during 1975 . For the UK Singles Chart , West Country comedy folk act The Wurzels scored No. 1 for two weeks during June 1976 with a version of this . After the January 1994 attack on Nancy Kerrigan , a parody of `` Brand New Key '' circulated on radio stations . The parody featured lyrics from Tonya Harding 's point of view , and included the chorus , `` I 've got a brand new pair of figure skates / You 've got a busted knee ; / They 're gon na lock up my ex-husband and throw away the key . '' The song was used prominently in the 2005 movie Evil Aliens . With lyrics describing Best Film nominee Pan 's Labyrinth , Minnie Driver sang a parody of the song at the 2007 Spirit Awards ( `` I blew a giant frog to smithereens , I got his golden key '' ) . References in popular culture ( edit ) Melanie 's version is heard in the 1997 music Boogie Nights as Dirk Diggler ( Mark Wahlberg ) has his `` audition '' with Rollergirl ( Heather Graham ) in front of Jack Horner ( Burt Reynolds ) . The song is also played in Jackass 3 - D during the `` Bungee Boogie '' stunt skit ( in which the cast members use bungee cords , skateboards and a ramp to slingshot into a kiddie pool ) . On April 4 , 2016 , Jimmy Fallon lip synced the song during a `` Lip Sync Battle '' on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon , while he competed with actress Melissa McCarthy . On the October 17 , 2016 , episode of singing competition television show The Voice , Team Miley ( Cyrus ) contestants Darby Walker and Karlee Metzger performed the song in a battle round . Despite coaches Adam Levine , Blake Shelton , and Alicia Keys all preferring Metzger 's vocal performance , Cyrus chose to name Walker the winner of the battle . Shortly after , Metzger was stolen onto Team Blake , saving her from elimination . The original version appears in season 1 of the FX show The Bridge , as the character Daniel Frye flushes his supply of drugs and alcohol .

Brazil is one of the countries besides Argentina, Spain and Germany to win a FIFA World Cup away from its continent (Sweden 1958, Mexico 1970, USA 1994 and South Korea/Japan 2002). Brazil is the only national team to have played in all FIFA World Cup editions without any absence or need for playoffs. Brazil also has the best overall performance in World Cup history in both proportional and absolute terms with a record of 73 victories in 109 matches played, 124 goal difference, 237 points and only 18 losses.[2][3]\n" ]

Chemical reaction
Chemical reaction - wikipedia Chemical reaction Jump to : navigation , search A thermite reaction using iron ( III ) oxide . The sparks flying outwards are globules of molten iron trailing smoke in their wake . A chemical reaction is a process that leads to the transformation of one set of chemical substances to another . Classically , chemical reactions encompass changes that only involve the positions of electrons in the forming and breaking of chemical bonds between atoms , with no change to the nuclei ( no change to the elements present ) , and can often be described by a chemical equation . Nuclear chemistry is a sub-discipline of chemistry that involves the chemical reactions of unstable and radioactive elements where both electronic and nuclear changes can occur . The substance ( or substances ) initially involved in a chemical reaction are called reactants or reagents . Chemical reactions are usually characterized by a chemical change , and they yield one or more products , which usually have properties different from the reactants . Reactions often consist of a sequence of individual sub-steps , the so - called elementary reactions , and the information on the precise course of action is part of the reaction mechanism . Chemical reactions are described with chemical equations , which symbolically present the starting materials , end products , and sometimes intermediate products and reaction conditions . Chemical reactions happen at a characteristic reaction rate at a given temperature and chemical concentration . Typically , reaction rates increase with increasing temperature because there is more thermal energy available to reach the activation energy necessary for breaking bonds between atoms . Reactions may proceed in the forward or reverse direction until they go to completion or reach equilibrium . Reactions that proceed in the forward direction to approach equilibrium are often described as spontaneous , requiring no input of free energy to go forward . Non-spontaneous reactions require input of free energy to go forward ( examples include charging a battery by applying an external electrical power source , or photosynthesis driven by absorption of electromagnetic radiation in the form of sunlight ) . Different chemical reactions are used in combinations during chemical synthesis in order to obtain a desired product . In biochemistry , a consecutive series of chemical reactions ( where the product of one reaction is the reactant of the next reaction ) form metabolic pathways . These reactions are often catalyzed by protein enzymes . Enzymes increase the rates of biochemical reactions , so that metabolic syntheses and decompositions impossible under ordinary conditions can occur at the temperatures and concentrations present within a cell . The general concept of a chemical reaction has been extended to reactions between entities smaller than atoms , including nuclear reactions , radioactive decays , and reactions between elementary particles as described by quantum field theory .

Initial theories of transformation of materials were developed by Greek philosophers , such as the Four - Element Theory of Empedocles stating that any substance is composed of the four basic elements -- fire , water , air and earth . In the Middle Ages , chemical transformations were studied by Alchemists . They attempted , in particular , to convert lead into gold , for which purpose they used reactions of lead and lead - copper alloys with sulfur . The production of chemical substances that do not normally occur in nature has long been tried , such as the synthesis of sulfuric and nitric acids attributed to the controversial alchemist Jābir ibn Hayyān . The process involved heating of sulfate and nitrate minerals such as copper sulfate , alum and saltpeter . In the 17th century , Johann Rudolph Glauber produced hydrochloric acid and sodium sulfate by reacting sulfuric acid and sodium chloride . With the development of the lead chamber process in 1746 and the Leblanc process , allowing large - scale production of sulfuric acid and sodium carbonate , respectively , chemical reactions became implemented into the industry . Further optimization of sulfuric acid technology resulted in the contact process in the 1880s , and the Haber process was developed in 1909 -- 1910 for ammonia synthesis . From the 16th century , researchers including Jan Baptist van Helmont , Robert Boyle and Isaac Newton tried to establish theories of the experimentally observed chemical transformations . The phlogiston theory was proposed in 1667 by Johann Joachim Becher . It postulated the existence of a fire - like element called `` phlogiston '' , which was contained within combustible bodies and released during combustion . This proved to be false in 1785 by Antoine Lavoisier who found the correct explanation of the combustion as reaction with oxygen from the air . Joseph Louis Gay - Lussac recognized in 1808 that gases always react in a certain relationship with each other . Based on this idea and the atomic theory of John Dalton , Joseph Proust had developed the law of definite proportions , which later resulted in the concepts of stoichiometry and chemical equations . Regarding the organic chemistry , it was long believed that compounds obtained from living organisms were too complex to be obtained synthetically . According to the concept of vitalism , organic matter was endowed with a `` vital force '' and distinguished from inorganic materials . This separation was ended however by the synthesis of urea from inorganic precursors by Friedrich Wöhler in 1828 . Other chemists who brought major contributions to organic chemistry include Alexander William Williamson with his synthesis of ethers and Christopher Kelk Ingold , who , among many discoveries , established the mechanisms of substitution reactions . Equations As seen from the equation CH 4 + 2 O 2 → CO 2 + 2 H 2O , a coefficient of 2 must be placed before the oxygen gas on the reactants side and before the water on the products side in order for , as per the law of conservation of mass , the quantity of each element does not change during the reaction Main article : Chemical equation Chemical equations are used to graphically illustrate chemical reactions . They consist of chemical or structural formulas of the reactants on the left and those of the products on the right . They are separated by an arrow ( → ) which indicates the direction and type of the reaction ; the arrow is read as the word `` yields '' . The tip of the arrow points in the direction in which the reaction proceeds . A double arrow ( ⇌ ) pointing in opposite directions is used for equilibrium reactions . Equations should be balanced according to the stoichiometry , the number of atoms of each species should be the same on both sides of the equation . This is achieved by scaling the number of involved molecules ( A , B , C ( \ displaystyle ( \ ce ( A , B , C ) ) ) and D ( \ displaystyle ( \ ce ( D ) ) ) in a schematic example below ) by the appropriate integers a , b , c and d . a A + b B ⟶ c C + d D ( \ displaystyle ( \ ce ( ( ( \ mathit ( a ) ) A ) + ( \ mathit ( b ) ) B - > ( ( \ mathit ( c ) ) C ) + ( \ mathit ( d ) ) D ) ) ) More elaborate reactions are represented by reaction schemes , which in addition to starting materials and products show important intermediates or transition states . Also , some relatively minor additions to the reaction can be indicated above the reaction arrow ; examples of such additions are water , heat , illumination , a catalyst , etc . Similarly , some minor products can be placed below the arrow , often with a minus sign . An example of organic reaction : oxidation of ketones to esters with a peroxycarboxylic acid Retrosynthetic analysis can be applied to design a complex synthesis reaction . Here the analysis starts from the products , for example by splitting selected chemical bonds , to arrive at plausible initial reagents . A special arrow ( ⇒ ) is used in retro reactions . Elementary reactions The elementary reaction is the smallest division into which a chemical reaction can be decomposed , it has no intermediate products . Most experimentally observed reactions are built up from many elementary reactions that occur in parallel or sequentially . The actual sequence of the individual elementary reactions is known as reaction mechanism . An elementary reaction involves a few molecules , usually one or two , because of the low probability for several molecules to meet at a certain time . Isomerization of azobenzene , induced by light ( hν ) or heat ( Δ ) The most important elementary reactions are unimolecular and bimolecular reactions . Only one molecule is involved in a unimolecular reaction ; it is transformed by an isomerization or a dissociation into one or more other molecules . Such reactions require the addition of energy in the form of heat or light . A typical example of a unimolecular reaction is the cis -- trans isomerization , in which the cis - form of a compound converts to the trans - form or vice versa . In a typical dissociation reaction , a bond in a molecule splits ( ruptures ) resulting in two molecular fragments . The splitting can be homolytic or heterolytic . In the first case , the bond is divided so that each product retains an electron and becomes a neutral radical . In the second case , both electrons of the chemical bond remain with one of the products , resulting in charged ions . Dissociation plays an important role in triggering chain reactions , such as hydrogen -- oxygen or polymerization reactions . AB ⟶ A + B ( \ displaystyle ( \ ce ( AB - > A + B ) ) ) Dissociation of a molecule AB into fragments A and B For bimolecular reactions , two molecules collide and react with each other . Their merger is called chemical synthesis or an addition reaction . A + B ⟶ AB ( \ displaystyle ( \ ce ( A + B - > AB ) ) ) Another possibility is that only a portion of one molecule is transferred to the other molecule . This type of reaction occurs , for example , in redox and acid - base reactions . In redox reactions , the transferred particle is an electron , whereas in acid - base reactions it is a proton . This type of reaction is also called metathesis . HA + B ⟶ A + HB ( \ displaystyle ( \ ce ( HA + B - > A + HB ) ) ) for example NaCl + AgNO 3 ⟶ NaNO 3 + AgCl ↓ ( \ displaystyle ( \ ce ( NaCl + AgNO3 - > NaNO3 + AgCl ( v ) ) ) ) Chemical equilibrium Main article : Chemical equilibrium Most chemical reactions are reversible , that is they can and do run in both directions . The forward and reverse reactions are competing with each other and differ in reaction rates . These rates depend on the concentration and therefore change with time of the reaction : the reverse rate gradually increases and becomes equal to the rate of the forward reaction , establishing the so - called chemical equilibrium . The time to reach equilibrium depends on such parameters as temperature , pressure and the materials involved , and is determined by the minimum free energy . In equilibrium , the Gibbs free energy must be zero . The pressure dependence can be explained with the Le Chatelier 's principle . For example , an increase in pressure due to decreasing volume causes the reaction to shift to the side with the fewer moles of gas . The reaction yield stabilizes at equilibrium , but can be increased by removing the product from the reaction mixture or changed by increasing the temperature or pressure . A change in the concentrations of the reactants does not affect the equilibrium constant , but does affect the equilibrium position . Thermodynamics Chemical reactions are determined by the laws of thermodynamics . Reactions can proceed by themselves if they are exergonic , that is if they release energy . The associated free energy of the reaction is composed of two different thermodynamic quantities , enthalpy and entropy : Δ G = Δ H − T ⋅ Δ S ( \ displaystyle \ Delta G = \ Delta H-T \ cdot \ Delta S ) . G : free energy , H : enthalpy , T : temperature , S : entropy , Δ : difference ( change between original and product ) Reactions can be exothermic , where ΔH is negative and energy is released . Typical examples of exothermic reactions are precipitation and crystallization , in which ordered solids are formed from disordered gaseous or liquid phases . In contrast , in endothermic reactions , heat is consumed from the environment . This can occur by increasing the entropy of the system , often through the formation of gaseous reaction products , which have high entropy . Since the entropy increases with temperature , many endothermic reactions preferably take place at high temperatures . On the contrary , many exothermic reactions such as crystallization occur at low temperatures . Changes in temperature can sometimes reverse the sign of the enthalpy of a reaction , as for the carbon monoxide reduction of molybdenum dioxide : 2 CO ( g ) + MoO 2 ( s ) ⟶ 2 CO 2 ( g ) + Mo ( s ) ( \ displaystyle ( \ ce ( 2CO ( g ) + MoO2 ( s ) - > 2CO2 ( g ) + Mo ( s ) ) ) ) ; Δ H o = + 21.86 kJ at 298 K ( \ displaystyle \ Delta H ^ ( o ) = + 21.86 \ ( \ text ( kJ at 298 K ) ) ) This reaction to form carbon dioxide and molybdenum is endothermic at low temperatures , becoming less so with increasing temperature . ΔH ° is zero at 7003185500000000000 ♠ 1855 K , and the reaction becomes exothermic above that temperature . Changes in temperature can also reverse the direction tendency of a reaction . For example , the water gas shift reaction CO ( g ) + H 2 O ( v ) ↽ − − ⇀ CO 2 ( g ) + H 2 ( g ) ( \ displaystyle ( \ ce ( CO ( g ) + H2O ( ( v ) ) < = > CO2 ( g ) + H2 ( g ) ) ) ) is favored by low temperatures , but its reverse is favored by high temperature . The shift in reaction direction tendency occurs at 7003110000000000000 ♠ 1100 K . Reactions can also be characterized by the internal energy which takes into account changes in the entropy , volume and chemical potential . The latter depends , among other things , on the activities of the involved substances . d U = T ⋅ d S − p ⋅ d V + μ ⋅ d n ( \ displaystyle ( d ) U = T \ cdot ( d ) S-p \ cdot ( d ) V+ \ mu \ cdot ( d ) n ) U : internal energy , S : entropy , p : pressure , μ : chemical potential , n : number of molecules , d : small change sign Kinetics The speed at which reactions takes place is studied by reaction kinetics . The rate depends on various parameters , such as : Reactant concentrations , which usually make the reaction happen at a faster rate if raised through increased collisions per unit time . Some reactions , however , have rates that are independent of reactant concentrations . These are called zero order reactions . Surface area available for contact between the reactants , in particular solid ones in heterogeneous systems . Larger surface areas lead to higher reaction rates . Pressure -- increasing the pressure decreases the volume between molecules and therefore increases the frequency of collisions between the molecules . Activation energy , which is defined as the amount of energy required to make the reaction start and carry on spontaneously . Higher activation energy implies that the reactants need more energy to start than a reaction with a lower activation energy . Temperature , which hastens reactions if raised , since higher temperature increases the energy of the molecules , creating more collisions per unit time , The presence or absence of a catalyst . Catalysts are substances which change the pathway ( mechanism ) of a reaction which in turn increases the speed of a reaction by lowering the activation energy needed for the reaction to take place . A catalyst is not destroyed or changed during a reaction , so it can be used again . For some reactions , the presence of electromagnetic radiation , most notably ultraviolet light , is needed to promote the breaking of bonds to start the reaction . This is particularly true for reactions involving radicals . Several theories allow calculating the reaction rates at the molecular level . This field is referred to as reaction dynamics . The rate v of a first - order reaction , which could be disintegration of a substance A , is given by : v = − d ( A ) d t = k ⋅ ( A ) . ( \ displaystyle v = - ( \ frac ( d ( ( \ ce ( A ) ) ) ) ( dt ) ) = k \ cdot ( ( \ ce ( A ) ) ) . ) Its integration yields : ( A ) ( t ) = ( A ) 0 ⋅ e − k ⋅ t . ( \ displaystyle ( ( \ ce ( ( A ) ) ) ) ( t ) = ( ( \ ce ( ( A ) ) ) ) _ ( 0 ) \ cdot e ^ ( - k \ cdot t ) . ) Here k is first - order rate constant having dimension 1 / time , ( A ) ( t ) is concentration at a time t and ( A ) is the initial concentration . The rate of a first - order reaction depends only on the concentration and the properties of the involved substance , and the reaction itself can be described with the characteristic half - life . More than one time constant is needed when describing reactions of higher order . The temperature dependence of the rate constant usually follows the Arrhenius equation : k = k 0 e − E a / k B T ( \ displaystyle k = k_ ( 0 ) e ^ ( ( - E_ ( a ) ) / ( k_ ( B ) T ) ) ) where E is the activation energy and k is the Boltzmann constant . One of the simplest models of reaction rate is the collision theory . More realistic models are tailored to a specific problem and include the transition state theory , the calculation of the potential energy surface , the Marcus theory and the Rice -- Ramsperger -- Kassel -- Marcus ( RRKM ) theory . Reaction types Four basic types Representation of four basic chemical reactions types : synthesis , decomposition , single replacement and double replacement . Synthesis Main article : Synthesis reaction In a synthesis reaction , two or more simple substances combine to form a more complex substance . These reactions are in the general form : A + B ⟶ AB ( \ displaystyle ( \ ce ( A + B - > AB ) ) ) Two or more reactants yielding one product is another way to identify a synthesis reaction . One example of a synthesis reaction is the combination of iron and sulfur to form iron ( II ) sulfide : 8 Fe + S 8 ⟶ 8 FeS ( \ displaystyle ( \ ce ( 8Fe + S8 - > 8FeS ) ) ) Another example is simple hydrogen gas combined with simple oxygen gas to produce a more complex substance , such as water . Decomposition Main article : Decomposition reaction A decomposition reaction is when a more complex substance breaks down into its more simple parts . It is thus the opposite of a synthesis reaction , and can be written as AB ⟶ A + B ( \ displaystyle ( \ ce ( AB - > A + B ) ) ) One example of a decomposition reaction is the electrolysis of water to make oxygen and hydrogen gas : 2 H 2 O ⟶ 2 H 2 + O 2 ( \ displaystyle ( \ ce ( 2H2O - > 2H2 + O2 ) ) ) Single replacement In a single replacement reaction , a single uncombined element replaces another in a compound ; in other words , one element trades places with another element in a compound These reactions come in the general form of : A + BC ⟶ AC + B ( \ displaystyle ( \ ce ( A + BC - > AC + B ) ) ) One example of a single displacement reaction is when magnesium replaces hydrogen in water to make magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen gas : Mg + 2 H 2 O ⟶ Mg ( OH ) 2 + H 2 ( ) ( \ displaystyle ( \ ce ( ( Mg ) + 2H2O - > Mg ( OH ) 2 + H2 ( ^ ( ) ) ) ) ) Double replacement In a double replacement reaction , the anions and cations of two compounds switch places and form two entirely different compounds . These reactions are in the general form : AB + CD ⟶ AD + CB ( \ displaystyle ( \ ce ( AB + CD - > AD + CB ) ) ) For example , when barium chloride ( BaCl ) and magnesium sulfate ( MgSO ) react , the SO anion switches places with the 2Cl anion , giving the compounds BaSO and MgCl . Another example of a double displacement reaction is the reaction of lead ( II ) nitrate with potassium iodide to form lead ( II ) iodide and potassium nitrate : Pb ( NO 3 ) 2 + 2 KI ⟶ PbI 2 ↓ + 2 KNO 3 ( \ displaystyle ( \ ce ( Pb ( NO3 ) 2 + 2KI - > PbI2 ( v ) + 2KNO3 ) ) ) Oxidation and reduction Illustration of a redox reaction Sodium chloride is formed through the redox reaction of sodium metal and chlorine gas Redox reactions can be understood in terms of transfer of electrons from one involved species ( reducing agent ) to another ( oxidizing agent ) . In this process , the former species is oxidized and the latter is reduced . Though sufficient for many purposes , these descriptions are not precisely correct . Oxidation is better defined as an increase in oxidation state , and reduction as a decrease in oxidation state . In practice , the transfer of electrons will always change the oxidation state , but there are many reactions that are classed as `` redox '' even though no electron transfer occurs ( such as those involving covalent bonds ) . In the following redox reaction , hazardous sodium metal reacts with toxic chlorine gas to form the ionic compound sodium chloride , or common table salt : 2 Na ( s ) + Cl 2 ( g ) ⟶ 2 NaCl ( s ) ( \ displaystyle ( \ ce ( 2Na ( s ) + Cl2 ( g ) - > 2NaCl ( s ) ) ) ) In the reaction , sodium metal goes from an oxidation state of 0 ( as it is a pure element ) to + 1 : in other words , the sodium lost one electron and is said to have been oxidized . On the other hand , the chlorine gas goes from an oxidation of 0 ( it is also a pure element ) to − 1 : the chlorine gains one electron and is said to have been reduced . Because the chlorine is the one reduced , it is considered the electron acceptor , or in other words , induces oxidation in the sodium -- thus the chlorine gas is considered the oxidizing agent . Conversely , the sodium is oxidized or is the electron donor , and thus induces reduction in the other species and is considered the reducing agent . Which of the involved reactants would be reducing or oxidizing agent can be predicted from the electronegativity of their elements . Elements with low electronegativity , such as most metals , easily donate electrons and oxidize -- they are reducing agents . On the contrary , many ions with high oxidation numbers , such as H 2O 2 , MnO − 4 , CrO 3 , Cr 2O2 − 7 , OsO 4 can gain one or two extra electrons and are strong oxidizing agents . The number of electrons donated or accepted in a redox reaction can be predicted from the electron configuration of the reactant element . Elements try to reach the low - energy noble gas configuration , and therefore alkali metals and halogens will donate and accept one electron respectively . Noble gases themselves are chemically inactive . An important class of redox reactions are the electrochemical reactions , where electrons from the power supply are used as the reducing agent . These reactions are particularly important for the production of chemical elements , such as chlorine or aluminium . The reverse process in which electrons are released in redox reactions and can be used as electrical energy is possible and used in batteries . Complexation Ferrocene -- an iron atom sandwiched between two C H ligands In complexation reactions , several ligands react with a metal atom to form a coordination complex . This is achieved by providing lone pairs of the ligand into empty orbitals of the metal atom and forming dipolar bonds . The ligands are Lewis bases , they can be both ions and neutral molecules , such as carbon monoxide , ammonia or water . The number of ligands that react with a central metal atom can be found using the 18 - electron rule , saying that the valence shells of a transition metal will collectively accommodate 18 electrons , whereas the symmetry of the resulting complex can be predicted with the crystal field theory and ligand field theory . Complexation reactions also include ligand exchange , in which one or more ligands are replaced by another , and redox processes which change the oxidation state of the central metal atom . Acid - base reactions In the Brønsted -- Lowry acid -- base theory , an acid - base reaction involves a transfer of protons ( H ) from one species ( the acid ) to another ( the base ) . When a proton is removed from an acid , the resulting species is termed that acid 's conjugate base . When the proton is accepted by a base , the resulting species is termed that base 's conjugate acid . In other words , acids act as proton donors and bases act as proton acceptors according to the following equation : HA acid + B base ↽ − − ⇀ A − conjugated base + HB + conjugated acid ( \ displaystyle ( \ ce ( ( \ underset ( acid ) ( HA ) ) + ( \ underset ( base ) ( B ) ) < = > ( \ underset ( conjugated \ base ) ( A ^ ( - ) ) ) + ( \ underset ( conjugated \ acid ) ( HB+ ) ) ) ) ) The reverse reaction is possible , and thus the acid / base and conjugated base / acid are always in equilibrium . The equilibrium is determined by the acid and base dissociation constants ( K and K ) of the involved substances . A special case of the acid - base reaction is the neutralization where an acid and a base , taken at exactly same amounts , form a neutral salt . Acid - base reactions can have different definitions depending on the acid - base concept employed . Some of the most common are : Arrhenius definition : Acids dissociate in water releasing H O ions ; bases dissociate in water releasing OH ions . Brønsted - Lowry definition : Acids are proton ( H ) donors , bases are proton acceptors ; this includes the Arrhenius definition . Lewis definition : Acids are electron - pair acceptors , bases are electron - pair donors ; this includes the Brønsted - Lowry definition . Precipitation Precipitation Precipitation is the formation of a solid in a solution or inside another solid during a chemical reaction . It usually takes place when the concentration of dissolved ions exceeds the solubility limit and forms an insoluble salt . This process can be assisted by adding a precipitating agent or by removal of the solvent . Rapid precipitation results in an amorphous or microcrystalline residue and slow process can yield single crystals . The latter can also be obtained by recrystallization from microcrystalline salts . Solid - state reactions Reactions can take place between two solids . However , because of the relatively small diffusion rates in solids , the corresponding chemical reactions are very slow in comparison to liquid and gas phase reactions . They are accelerated by increasing the reaction temperature and finely dividing the reactant to increase the contacting surface area . Reactions at the solid Gas interface Reaction can take place at the solid gas interface , surfaces at very low pressure such as ultra-high vacuum . Via scanning tunneling microscopy , it is possible to observe reactions at the solid gas interface in real space , if the time scale of the reaction is in the correct range . Reactions at the solid gas interface are in some cases related to catalysis . Photochemical reactions In this Paterno -- Büchi reaction , a photoexcited carbonyl group is added to an unexcited olefin , yielding an oxetane . In photochemical reactions , atoms and molecules absorb energy ( photons ) of the illumination light and convert into an excited state . They can then release this energy by breaking chemical bonds , thereby producing radicals . Photochemical reactions include hydrogen -- oxygen reactions , radical polymerization , chain reactions and rearrangement reactions . Many important processes involve photochemistry . The premier example is photosynthesis , in which most plants use solar energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose , disposing of oxygen as a side - product . Humans rely on photochemistry for the formation of vitamin D , and vision is initiated by a photochemical reaction of rhodopsin . In fireflies , an enzyme in the abdomen catalyzes a reaction that results in bioluminescence . Many significant photochemical reactions , such as ozone formation , occur in the Earth atmosphere and constitute atmospheric chemistry . Catalysis Main article : Catalysis Further information : Reaction Progress Kinetic Analysis Schematic potential energy diagram showing the effect of a catalyst in an endothermic chemical reaction . The presence of a catalyst opens a different reaction pathway ( in red ) with a lower activation energy . The final result and the overall thermodynamics are the same . Solid heterogeneous catalysts are plated on meshes in ceramic catalytic converters in order to maximize their surface area . This exhaust converter is from a Peugeot 106 S2 1100 In catalysis , the reaction does not proceed directly , but through reaction with a third substance known as catalyst . Although the catalyst takes part in the reaction , it is returned to its original state by the end of the reaction and so is not consumed . However , it can be inhibited , deactivated or destroyed by secondary processes . Catalysts can be used in a different phase ( heterogeneous ) or in the same phase ( homogeneous ) as the reactants . In heterogeneous catalysis , typical secondary processes include coking where the catalyst becomes covered by polymeric side products . Additionally , heterogeneous catalysts can dissolve into the solution in a solid -- liquid system or evaporate in a solid -- gas system . Catalysts can only speed up the reaction -- chemicals that slow down the reaction are called inhibitors . Substances that increase the activity of catalysts are called promoters , and substances that deactivate catalysts are called catalytic poisons . With a catalyst , a reaction which is kinetically inhibited by a high activation energy can take place in circumvention of this activation energy . Heterogeneous catalysts are usually solids , powdered in order to maximize their surface area . Of particular importance in heterogeneous catalysis are the platinum group metals and other transition metals , which are used in hydrogenations , catalytic reforming and in the synthesis of commodity chemicals such as nitric acid and ammonia . Acids are an example of a homogeneous catalyst , they increase the nucleophilicity of carbonyls , allowing a reaction that would not otherwise proceed with electrophiles . The advantage of homogeneous catalysts is the ease of mixing them with the reactants , but they may also be difficult to separate from the products . Therefore , heterogeneous catalysts are preferred in many industrial processes . Reactions in organic chemistry Main article : Organic reaction In organic chemistry , in addition to oxidation , reduction or acid - base reactions , a number of other reactions can take place which involve covalent bonds between carbon atoms or carbon and heteroatoms ( such as oxygen , nitrogen , halogens , etc . ) . Many specific reactions in organic chemistry are name reactions designated after their discoverers . Substitution In a substitution reaction , a functional group in a particular chemical compound is replaced by another group . These reactions can be distinguished by the type of substituting species into a nucleophilic , electrophilic or radical substitution . S 1 mechanism S 2 mechanism In the first type , a nucleophile , an atom or molecule with an excess of electrons and thus a negative charge or partial charge , replaces another atom or part of the `` substrate '' molecule . The electron pair from the nucleophile attacks the substrate forming a new bond , while the leaving group departs with an electron pair . The nucleophile may be electrically neutral or negatively charged , whereas the substrate is typically neutral or positively charged . Examples of nucleophiles are hydroxide ion , alkoxides , amines and halides . This type of reaction is found mainly in aliphatic hydrocarbons , and rarely in aromatic hydrocarbon . The latter have high electron density and enter nucleophilic aromatic substitution only with very strong electron withdrawing groups . Nucleophilic substitution can take place by two different mechanisms , S 1 and S 2 . In their names , S stands for substitution , N for nucleophilic , and the number represents the kinetic order of the reaction , unimolecular or bimolecular . The three steps of an S 2 reaction . The nucleophile is green and the leaving group is red S 2 reaction causes stereo inversion ( Walden inversion ) The S 1 reaction proceeds in two steps . First , the leaving group is eliminated creating a carbocation . This is followed by a rapid reaction with the nucleophile . In the S 2 mechanism , the nucleophile forms a transition state with the attacked molecule , and only then the leaving group is cleaved . These two mechanisms differ in the stereochemistry of the products . S 1 leads to the non-stereospecific addition and does not result in a chiral center , but rather in a set of geometric isomers ( cis / trans ) . In contrast , a reversal ( Walden inversion ) of the previously existing stereochemistry is observed in the S 2 mechanism . Electrophilic substitution is the counterpart of the nucleophilic substitution in that the attacking atom or molecule , an electrophile , has low electron density and thus a positive charge . Typical electrophiles are the carbon atom of carbonyl groups , carbocations or sulfur or nitronium cations . This reaction takes place almost exclusively in aromatic hydrocarbons , where it is called electrophilic aromatic substitution . The electrophile attack results in the so - called σ - complex , a transition state in which the aromatic system is abolished . Then , the leaving group , usually a proton , is split off and the aromaticity is restored . An alternative to aromatic substitution is electrophilic aliphatic substitution . It is similar to the nucleophilic aliphatic substitution and also has two major types , S 1 and S 2 Mechanism of electrophilic aromatic substitution In the third type of substitution reaction , radical substitution , the attacking particle is a radical . This process usually takes the form of a chain reaction , for example in the reaction of alkanes with halogens . In the first step , light or heat disintegrates the halogen - containing molecules producing the radicals . Then the reaction proceeds as an avalanche until two radicals meet and recombine . X ⋅ + R − H ⟶ X − H + R ⋅ ( \ displaystyle ( \ ce ( X . + R-H - > X-H + R . ) ) ) R ⋅ + X 2 ⟶ R − X + X ⋅ ( \ displaystyle ( \ ce ( R. + X2 - > R-X + X . ) ) ) Reactions during the chain reaction of radical substitution Addition and elimination The addition and its counterpart , the elimination , are reactions which change the number of substitutents on the carbon atom , and form or cleave multiple bonds . Double and triple bonds can be produced by eliminating a suitable leaving group . Similar to the nucleophilic substitution , there are several possible reaction mechanisms which are named after the respective reaction order . In the E1 mechanism , the leaving group is ejected first , forming a carbocation . The next step , formation of the double bond , takes place with elimination of a proton ( deprotonation ) . The leaving order is reversed in the E1cb mechanism , that is the proton is split off first . This mechanism requires participation of a base . Because of the similar conditions , both reactions in the E1 or E1cb elimination always compete with the S 1 substitution . E1 elimination E1cb elimination E2 elimination The E2 mechanism also requires a base , but there the attack of the base and the elimination of the leaving group proceed simultaneously and produce no ionic intermediate . In contrast to the E1 eliminations , different stereochemical configurations are possible for the reaction product in the E2 mechanism , because the attack of the base preferentially occurs in the anti-position with respect to the leaving group . Because of the similar conditions and reagents , the E2 elimination is always in competition with the S 2 - substitution . Electrophilic addition of hydrogen bromide The counterpart of elimination is the addition where double or triple bonds are converted into single bonds . Similar to the substitution reactions , there are several types of additions distinguished by the type of the attacking particle . For example , in the electrophilic addition of hydrogen bromide , an electrophile ( proton ) attacks the double bond forming a carbocation , which then reacts with the nucleophile ( bromine ) . The carbocation can be formed on either side of the double bond depending on the groups attached to its ends , and the preferred configuration can be predicted with the Markovnikov 's rule . This rule states that `` In the heterolytic addition of a polar molecule to an alkene or alkyne , the more electronegative ( nucleophilic ) atom ( or part ) of the polar molecule becomes attached to the carbon atom bearing the smaller number of hydrogen atoms . '' If the addition of a functional group takes place at the less substituted carbon atom of the double bond , then the electrophilic substitution with acids is not possible . In this case , one has to use the hydroboration -- oxidation reaction , where in the first step , the boron atom acts as electrophile and adds to the less substituted carbon atom . At the second step , the nucleophilic hydroperoxide or halogen anion attacks the boron atom . While the addition to the electron - rich alkenes and alkynes is mainly electrophilic , the nucleophilic addition plays an important role for the carbon - heteroatom multiple bonds , and especially its most important representative , the carbonyl group . This process is often associated with an elimination , so that after the reaction the carbonyl group is present again . It is therefore called addition - elimination reaction and may occur in carboxylic acid derivatives such as chlorides , esters or anhydrides . This reaction is often catalyzed by acids or bases , where the acids increase by the electrophilicity of the carbonyl group by binding to the oxygen atom , whereas the bases enhance the nucleophilicity of the attacking nucleophile . Acid - catalyzed addition - elimination mechanism Nucleophilic addition of a carbanion or another nucleophile to the double bond of an alpha , beta unsaturated carbonyl compound can proceed via the Michael reaction , which belongs to the larger class of conjugate additions . This is one of the most useful methods for the mild formation of C -- C bonds . Some additions which can not be executed with nucleophiles and electrophiles , can be succeeded with free radicals . As with the free - radical substitution , the radical addition proceeds as a chain reaction , and such reactions are the basis of the free - radical polymerization . Other organic reaction mechanisms The Cope rearrangement of 3 - methyl - 1 , 5 - hexadiene Mechanism of a Diels - Alder reaction Orbital overlap in a Diels - Alder reaction In a rearrangement reaction , the carbon skeleton of a molecule is rearranged to give a structural isomer of the original molecule . These include hydride shift reactions such as the Wagner - Meerwein rearrangement , where a hydrogen , alkyl or aryl group migrates from one carbon to a neighboring carbon . Most rearrangements are associated with the breaking and formation of new carbon - carbon bonds . Other examples are sigmatropic reaction such as the Cope rearrangement . Cyclic rearrangements include cycloadditions and , more generally , pericyclic reactions , wherein two or more double bond - containing molecules form a cyclic molecule . An important example of cycloaddition reaction is the Diels -- Alder reaction ( the so - called ( 4 + 2 ) cycloaddition ) between a conjugated diene and a substituted alkene to form a substituted cyclohexene system . Whether a certain cycloaddition would proceed depends on the electronic orbitals of the participating species , as only orbitals with the same sign of wave function will overlap and interact constructively to form new bonds . Cycloaddition is usually assisted by light or heat . These perturbations result in different arrangement of electrons in the excited state of the involved molecules and therefore in different effects . For example , the ( 4 + 2 ) Diels - Alder reactions can be assisted by heat whereas the ( 2 + 2 ) cycloaddition is selectively induced by light . Because of the orbital character , the potential for developing stereoisomeric products upon cycloaddition is limited , as described by the Woodward -- Hoffmann rules . Biochemical reactions Illustration of the induced fit model of enzyme activity Biochemical reactions are mainly controlled by enzymes . These proteins can specifically catalyze a single reaction , so that reactions can be controlled very precisely . The reaction takes place in the active site , a small part of the enzyme which is usually found in a cleft or pocket lined by amino acid residues , and the rest of the enzyme is used mainly for stabilization . The catalytic action of enzymes relies on several mechanisms including the molecular shape ( `` induced fit '' ) , bond strain , proximity and orientation of molecules relative to the enzyme , proton donation or withdrawal ( acid / base catalysis ) , electrostatic interactions and many others . The biochemical reactions that occur in living organisms are collectively known as metabolism . Among the most important of its mechanisms is the anabolism , in which different DNA and enzyme - controlled processes result in the production of large molecules such as proteins and carbohydrates from smaller units . Bioenergetics studies the sources of energy for such reactions . An important energy source is glucose , which can be produced by plants via photosynthesis or assimilated from food . All organisms use this energy to produce adenosine triphosphate ( ATP ) , which can then be used to energize other reactions . Applications Thermite reaction proceeding in railway welding . Shortly after this , the liquid iron flows into the mould around the rail gap Chemical reactions are central to chemical engineering where they are used for the synthesis of new compounds from natural raw materials such as petroleum and mineral ores . It is essential to make the reaction as efficient as possible , maximizing the yield and minimizing the amount of reagents , energy inputs and waste . Catalysts are especially helpful for reducing the energy required for the reaction and increasing its reaction rate . Some specific reactions have their niche applications . For example , the thermite reaction is used to generate light and heat in pyrotechnics and welding . Although it is less controllable than the more conventional oxy - fuel welding , arc welding and flash welding , it requires much less equipment and is still used to mend rails , especially in remote areas . Monitoring Mechanisms of monitoring chemical reactions depend strongly on the reaction rate . Relatively slow processes can be analyzed in situ for the concentrations and identities of the individual ingredients . Important tools of real time analysis are the measurement of pH and analysis of optical absorption ( color ) and emission spectra . A less accessible but rather efficient method is introduction of a radioactive isotope into the reaction and monitoring how it changes over time and where it moves to ; this method is often used to analyze redistribution of substances in the human body . Faster reactions are usually studied with ultrafast laser spectroscopy where utilization of femtosecond lasers allows short - lived transition states to be monitored at time scaled down to a few femtoseconds .

Legal status of tattooing in the United States
Legal status of Tattooing in the United states - wikipedia Legal status of Tattooing in the United states Jump to : navigation , search In the United States , there is no federal law regulating the practice of tattooing . However , all 50 states and the District of Columbia have statutory laws requiring a person receiving a tattoo be 18 years or older . This is partially based on the legal principle that a minor can not enter into a legal contract or otherwise render informed consent for a procedure . Most states permit a person under the age of 18 to receive a tattoo with permission of a parent or guardian , but some states outright prohibit tattooing under a certain age regardless of permission , with the exception of medical necessity ( such as markings placed for radiation therapy ) . In all jurisdictions , individual tattooists may also choose to place additional restrictions based on their own moral feelings , such as refusing any clients under a specific age even with parental consent despite it being legal , or limiting the type and / or location of where they are willing to tattoo ( such as refusing any work around intimate parts of the body ) . They may additionally refuse to perform specific artwork , including if they merely find it inappropriate or offensive , or refuse to work on a client that they suspect may be intoxicated . Artists sometimes claim their personal business restrictions are a matter of law even when it is not true , so as to avoid arguments with clients .

History of Papua New Guinea
History of Papua New Guinea - wikipedia History of Papua New Guinea 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 . ( February 2007 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Part of a series on the History of Papua New Guinea Prehistory Early history British New Guinea German New Guinea Australian mandate World War II Territorial merger Papua New Guinea Papua New Guinea portal The prehistory of Papua New Guinea can be traced to about 60,000 years ago , when people first migrated towards the Australian continent . The written history began when European navigators first sighted New Guinea in the early part of the 16th century . Contents ( hide ) 1 Archaeology 2 European contact 3 Territory of Papua 4 German New Guinea 5 Territory of New Guinea 6 Exploration of Mandated Territory of New Guinea 6.1 Akmana Expedition 1929 -- 1930 7 World War II 8 The Territory of Papua and New Guinea 9 Independence 10 Notes 11 Further reading 11.1 Primary sources 12 External links Archaeology ( edit ) See also : Ambum stone Regions of Oceania : Australasia , Polynesia , Micronesia , and Melanesia . Australasia include the Australian landmass ( including Tasmania ) , New Zealand , and New Guinea . Archaeological evidence indicates that humans arrived on New Guinea perhaps 60,000 years ago , although this is under debate . They came probably by sea from Southeast Asia during an Ice Age period when the sea was lower and distances between islands shorter . Although the first arrivals were hunters and gatherers , early evidence shows that people managed the forest environment to provide food . There also are indications of neolithic gardening having been practiced at Kuk at the same time that agriculture was developing in Mesopotamia and Egypt . Today 's staples -- sweet potatoes and pigs -- were later arrivals , but shellfish and fish have long been mainstays of coastal dwellers ' diets . Recent archaeological research suggests that 50,000 years ago people may have occupied sites in the highlands at altitudes of up to 2,000 m ( 6,600 ft ) , rather than being restricted to warmer coastal areas . European contact ( edit ) A typical map from the Golden Age of Netherlandish cartography . Australasia during the Golden Age of Dutch exploration and discovery ( ca . 1590s -- 1720s ) : including Nova Guinea ( New Guinea ) , Nova Hollandia ( mainland Australia ) , Van Diemen 's Land ( Tasmania ) , and Nova Zeelandia ( New Zealand ) . When Europeans first arrived , inhabitants of New Guinea and nearby islands , whose technologies included bone , wood , and stone tools , had a productive agricultural system . They traded along the coast ( mainly in pottery , shell ornaments and foodstuffs ) and in the interior ( exchanging forest products for shells and other sea products ) . The first known Europeans to sight New Guinea were probably the Portuguese and Spanish navigators sailing in the South Pacific in the early part of the 16th century . In 1526 -- 1527 the Portuguese explorer Jorge de Menezes accidentally came upon the principal island and is credited with naming it `` Papua '' , after a Malay word for the frizzled quality of Melanesian people 's hair . The Spaniard Yñigo Ortiz de Retez applied the term `` New Guinea '' to the island in 1545 because of a perceived resemblance between the islands ' inhabitants and those found on the African Guinea coast . Although European navigators visited the islands and explored their coastlines thereafter , European researchers knew little of the inhabitants until the 1870s , when Russian anthropologist Nicholai Miklukho - Maklai made a number of expeditions to New Guinea , spending several years living among native tribes , and described their way of life in a comprehensive treatise . British flag raised in Queensland 1883 Territory of Papua ( edit ) Main article : Territory of Papua In 1883 , the Colony of Queensland tried to annex the southern half of eastern New Guinea , but the British government did not approve . However , when Germany began settlements in the north a British protectorate was proclaimed in 1884 over the southern coast of New Guinea and its adjacent islands . The protectorate , called British New Guinea , was annexed outright on 4 September 1888 . The possession was placed under the authority of the Commonwealth of Australia in 1902 . Following the passage of the Papua Act in 1905 , British New Guinea became the Territory of Papua , and formal Australian administration began in 1906 , although Papua remained under their control a British possession until the independence of Papua New Guinea in 1975 . There was little economic activity in Papua . Australia administered it separately under the Papua Act until it was invaded by the Empire of Japan in 1941 , and civil administration suspended . During the Pacific War , Papua was governed by an Australian military administration from Port Moresby , where General Douglas MacArthur occasionally made his headquarters . Flag under German control of New Guinea . German New Guinea ( edit ) Main article : German New Guinea Hoisting the German flag at Mioko in 1884 With Europe 's growing desire for coconut oil , Godeffroy 's of Hamburg , the largest trading firm in the Pacific , began trading for copra in the New Guinea Islands . In 1884 , the German Empire formally took possession of the northeast quarter of the island and put its administration in the hands of a chartered trading company formed for the purpose , the German New Guinea Company . In the charter granted to this company by the German Imperial Government in May 1885 , it was given the power to exercise sovereign rights over the territory and other `` unoccupied '' lands in the name of the government , and the ability to `` negotiate '' directly with the native inhabitants . Relationships with foreign powers were retained as the preserve of the German government . The Neu Guinea Kompanie paid for the local governmental institutions directly , in return for the concessions which had been awarded to it . In 1899 , the German imperial government assumed direct control of the territory , thereafter known as German New Guinea . New Guinea was basically a business venture . Thousands of local workers were hired as cheap labor on cocoa and copra plantations . In 1899 , the German government took control of the colony from the New Guinea company of Berlin . Education was in the hands of missionaries . In 1914 when the First World War broke out Australia seized the German colony . The plantations were given to Australian war veterans and in 1921 the League of Nations gave Australia a trusteeship over New Guinea . The plantations and gold mining generated a degree of prosperity . Territory of New Guinea ( edit ) Main article : Territory of New Guinea The Commonwealth of Australia assumed a mandate from the League of Nations for governing the former German territory of New Guinea in 1920 . It was administered under this mandate until the Japanese invasion in December 1941 brought about the suspension of Australian civil administration . Much of the Territory of New Guinea , including the islands of Bougainville and New Britain , was occupied by Japanese forces before being recaptured by Australian and American forces during the final months of the war ( see New Guinea campaign ) . Exploration of Mandated Territory of New Guinea ( edit ) Akmana expedition 1929 -- 1930 ( edit ) ' The exploration of Papua -- New Guinea has been a continuing process . Even today ( October 2017 ) new groups of people occasionally are still contacted . Not until recent years has New Guinea 's exploration been planned ; much of it has been the work of miners , labour recruiters , missionaries , adventurers , with different objectives in mind . Many of these people have been doers , not recorders of facts , with the result that our knowledge of the territory 's exploration has not kept pace with the exploration itself . ' An exception is the record of the Akmana Gold Prospecting Company 's Field Party which carried out two expeditions from September to December 1929 and from mid February to the end of June 1930 . They journeyed on the `` Banyandah '' , a cruiser of 12 metres ( 38 ft ) from Madang up the coast to the mouth of the Sepik River , travelling along that river to Marienberg and Moim , then along the Karosameri River to the Karrawaddi River and on to the Arrabundio River and Yemas , after which it was necessary to transport their stores and equipment by pinnace , canoe and ultimately on foot to their Mountain Base on the upper Arrabundio River . During their first expedition the Akmana Field Party prospected the tributaries of the Arrabundio and then trekked across a spur of the Central Mountain Range to sample the Upper Karrawaddi River . Retracing their steps to the Arrabundio they then headed out across another spur of the Central Mountain Range to the Junction of the Yuat River with the Jimmi and Baiyer Rivers , again without finding gold in sufficient quantity . Returning to Madang at the end of December 1929 , several of the party went back to Sydney to obtain instructions from the Akmana Gold Prospecting Company . In mid February 1930 the second expedition quickly returned to their Mountain Base and on across the mountains to the junction of the Yuat with the Baiyer and Jimmi Rivers . They prospected south along the Baiyer River to its junction with the Maramuni and Tarua Rivers , where they established a palisaded forward camp naming the place ' Akmana Junction . ' From this base they prospected along the Maramuni River and its tributaries , again without success . Finally they prospected the Tarua River south past the tributary which flows to Waipai , once more without success and on the advice of mining engineer Seale , it was decided there was nothing to justify further exploration . They had not progressed to any country on the southern watershed through which the early explorers and prospectors travelled to the Hagan Range and Wabag . The party returned to Madang , sailing for Sydney on 3 July 1930 . After leading the first expedition , Sam Freeman did not return and Reg Beazley became party leader of the second expedition , with Pontey Seale mining engineer , Bill MacGregor and Beazley prospectors and recruiters , and Ernie Shepherd in charge of transport and supplies , prospecting when opportunity arose . They had all served overseas during World War I with the AIF on the western front , in Egypt and the Levant and had previously been to New Guinea . In 1926 Freeman was near Marienberg with Ormildah drilling for oil ; Shepherd was with Dr. Wade and R.J. Winters on their geological survey of an oil lease of 26,000 square kilometres ( 10,000 sq mi ) in the Bogia and Nubio to Ramu region and up the Sepik River to Kubka 100 km ( 60 mi ) above Ambunto . Beazley was drilling test sites for oil with Matahower in the lower Sepik and he and McGregor recruited labour on the Sepik and explored grass country to Wee Wak . Beazley also prospected the Arrabundio for gold and on his promising report to Freeman , Akmana Gold Prospecting Coy was floated in 1928 . The Akmana Gold Prospecting Field Party made contact with many peoples they called : grass country people , head hunters , pygmies , wig -- men , Kanakas , Poomani . These contacts were often with the help of Drybow / Dribu , a leader and spokesman of the wig -- men , a most intelligent man of goodwill , with a quiet authority that brought forth friendly cooperation . ' We made a peaceful entry into this new country , establishing a reputation for fair trade and decent behaviour ... but gold was our interest and we had traced the rivers and tributaries as far as practicable where conditions and results justified the effort and found nothing worthwhile . In the many years since , there have been quite a few reports of prospecting parties in the area . But nothing of note has been reported : So we did not leave much behind , it seems . ' ' Members of the Akmana party donated wigs they had brought back to various museums . Two of them went to The Australian Museum , Sydney ( from Beazley and Shepherd ) . Current records at the Australian Museum show that Beazley 's wig , described as `` a cap composed of human hair from the headwaters of the U -- at River , Central Mountains , Mandated Territory of NG '' , was lodged on 31 January 1930 , presumably on his quick visit to Sydney after the first expedition . Shepherd presented another wig to Father Kirschbaum , who wanted to send it to Germany . The wigs at The Australian Museum were later confused with some brought out of the Highlands 10 years afterwards by Jim Taylor during his Hagen -- Sepik patrol , and wrongly attributed to him when put on display . Seale presented two wigs to the National Museum Canberra in 1930 . ' World War II ( edit ) Australian troops at Milne Bay , Papua. The Australian garrison was the first to inflict defeat on the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II at the Battle of Milne Bay of Aug -- Sep 1942 . New Guinea Volunteer Rifles with captured Japanese flag , 1942 An Australian soldier , Private George `` Dick '' Whittington , is aided by Papuan orderly Raphael Oimbari , near Buna on 25 December 1942 . Main article : New Guinea Campaign Shortly after the start of the Pacific War , the island of New Guinea was invaded by the Japanese . Most of West Papua , at that time known as Dutch New Guinea , was occupied , as were large parts of the Territory of New Guinea ( the former German New Guinea , which was also under Australian rule after World War I ) , but Papua was protected to a large extent by its southern location and the near - impassable Owen Stanley Ranges to the north . The New Guinea campaign opened with the battles for New Britain and New Ireland in the Territory of New Guinea in 1942 . Rabaul , the capital of the Territory was overwhelmed on 22 -- 23 January and was established as a major Japanese base from whence they landed on mainland New Guinea and advanced towards Port Moresby and Australia . Having had their initial effort to capture Port Moresby by a seaborne invasion disrupted by the U.S. Navy in the Battle of the Coral Sea , the Japanese attempted a landward invasion from the north via the Kokoda Trail . From July 1942 , a few Australian reserve battalions , many of them very young and untrained , fought a stubborn rearguard action against a Japanese advance along the Kokoda Track , towards Port Moresby , over the rugged Owen Stanley Ranges . Local Papuans , called Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels by the Australians , assisted and escorted injured Australian troops down the Kokoda trail . The militia , worn out and severely depleted by casualties , were relieved in late August by regular troops from the Second Australian Imperial Force , returning from action in the Mediterranean theatre . The Japanese were driven back . The bitter Battle of Buna - Gona followed in which Australian and United States forces attacked the main Japanese beachheads in New Guinea , at Buna , Sanananda and Gona . Facing tropical disease , difficult terrain and well constructed Japanese defences , the allies only secured victory with heavy casualties . In early September 1942 Japanese marines attacked a strategic Royal Australian Air Force base at Milne Bay , near the eastern tip of Papua . They were beaten back by the Australian Army , and the Battle of Milne Bay is remembered as the first outright defeat on Japanese land forces during World War II . The offensives in Papua and New Guinea of 1943 -- 44 were the single largest series of connected operations ever mounted by the Australian armed forces . The Supreme Commander of operations was the United States General Douglas MacArthur , with Australian General Thomas Blamey taking a direct role in planning and operations being essentially directed by staff at New Guinea Force headquarters in Port Moresby . Bitter fighting continued in New Guinea between the largely Australian force and the Japanese 18th Army based in New Guinea until the Japanese surrender in 1945 . The New Guinea campaign was a major campaign of the Pacific War . In all , some 200,000 Japanese soldiers , sailors and airmen died during the campaign against approximately 7,000 Australian and 7,000 American service personnel . The Territory of Papua and New Guinea ( edit ) Following the surrender of the Japanese in 1945 , civil administration of Papua as well as New Guinea was restored , and under the Papua New Guinea Provisional Administration Act , ( 1945 -- 46 ) , Papua and New Guinea were combined in an administrative union . The Papua and New Guinea Act 1949 formally approved the placing of New Guinea under the international trusteeship system and confirmed the administrative union under the title of The Territory of Papua and New Guinea . The Act provided for a Legislative Council ( established in 1951 ) , a judicial organization , a public service , and a system of local government , with Sir Donald Cleland as administrator . Cleland remained in the position till his retirement in 1967 , then remaining in Port Moresby until his death in 1975 . The House of Assembly of Papua and New Guinea replaced the Legislative Council in 1963 , and after elections on 15 February , opened on 8 June 1964 . In 1972 , the name of the territory was changed to Papua New Guinea . Australia 's change of policy towards Papua New Guinea largely commenced with the invitation from the Australian Government to the World Bank to send a mission to the Territory to advise on measures to be taken towards its economic development and political preparation . The mission 's report , The Economic Development of the Territory of Papua New Guinea , published in 1964 , set out the framework upon which much of later economic policy , up to and beyond independence , proceeded . Independence ( edit ) Elections in 1972 resulted in the formation of a ministry headed by Chief Minister Michael Somare , who pledged to lead the country to self - government and then to independence . Papua New Guinea became self - governing on 1 December 1973 and achieved independence on 16 September 1975 . The country joined the United Nations ( UN ) on 10 October 1975 by way of Security Council Resolution 375 and General Assembly resolution 3368 . The 1977 national elections confirmed Michael Somare as Prime Minister at the head of a coalition led by the Pangu Party . However , his government lost a vote of confidence in 1980 and was replaced by a new cabinet headed by Sir Julius Chan as prime minister . The 1982 elections increased Pangu 's plurality , and parliament again chose Somare as prime minister . In November 1985 , the Somare government lost another vote of no confidence , and the parliamentary majority elected Paias Wingti , at the head of a five - party coalition , as prime minister . A coalition , headed by Wingti , was victorious in very close elections in July 1987 . In July 1988 , a no - confidence vote toppled Wingti and brought to power Rabbie Namaliu , who a few weeks earlier had replaced Somare as leader of the Pangu Party . Such reversals of fortune and a revolving - door succession of prime ministers continue to characterize Papua New Guinea 's national politics . A plethora of political parties , coalition governments , shifting party loyalties and motions of no confidence in the leadership all lend an air of instability to political proceedings . Under legislation intended to enhance stability , new governments remain immune from no - confidence votes for the first 18 months of their incumbency . A nine - year secessionist revolt on the island of Bougainville claimed some 20,000 lives . The rebellion began in early 1989 , active hostilities ended with a truce in October 1997 and a permanent ceasefire was signed in April 1998 . A peace agreement between the Government and ex-combatants was signed in August 2001 . A regional peace - monitoring force and a UN observer mission monitors the government and provincial leaders who have established an interim administration and are working toward complete surrender of weapons , the election of a provincial government and an eventual referendum on independence . Although close relations have been maintained since peaceful independence and Australia remains the largest bilateral aid donor to Papua New Guinea , relations with Australia have recently shown signs of strain . While on an official visit in March 2005 , the PNG Prime Minister , Michael Somare , was asked to submit to a security check and remove his shoes upon arriving at the airport in Brisbane . Despite demands from the PNG government that Australia apologize , the latter refused . Additionally , problems have arisen with regard to Australia 's latest aid package for the country . Valued at A $ 760 million , the program was to tackle crime and corruption in PNG by sending 200 Australian police to Port Moresby and installing 40 Australian officials within the national bureaucracy . However , after the first detachment of police arrived , Papua New Guinea 's high court ruled that the arrangement was unconstitutional , and the police returned home . A new arrangement , by which only 30 officers will serve as a training force for the local force has been described by the Australian foreign minister as `` second - best '' . Political divisions of New Guinea The government and rebels negotiated a peace agreement that established the Bougainville Autonomous District and Province . The autonomous Bougainville elected Joseph Kabui as president in 2005 , who served until his death in 2008 . He was succeeded by his deputy John Tabinaman as acting president while an election to fill the unexpired term was organised . James Tanis won that election in December 2008 and served until the inauguration of John Momis , the winner of the 2010 elections . As part of the current peace settlement , a referendum on independence is planned to be held in Bougainville sometime before mid-2020 . Preparations were underway in 2015 . Numerous Chinese have worked and lived in Papua New Guinea , establishing Chinese - majority communities . Chinese merchants became established in the islands before European exploration . Anti-Chinese rioting involving tens of thousands of people broke out in May 2009 . The initial spark was a fight between ethnic Chinese and Papua New Guinean workers at a nickel factory under construction by a Chinese company . Native resentment against Chinese ownership of numerous small businesses and their commercial monopoly in the islands led to the rioting . The Chinese have long been merchants in Papua New Guinea . On the same year , Papua New Guinea asked various Southeast nations for their support for Papua New Guinea 's full membership bid in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations . Indonesia supported the bid after Papua New Guinea supported Indonesia 's hold on West Papua . However , Christian - majority Philippines and Buddhist - majority Thailand , Vietnam , and Cambodia have expressed displeasure over Papua New Guinea 's anti-LGBT laws , stating that equality - friendly Timor - Leste would most likely be a more feasible ASEAN member state in the future . In 2012 , despite a refugee crisis between the borders of Papua New Guinea and West Papua , the country was steadfast in its support to Indonesia , which promised Papua New Guinea a bigger role in ASEAN in the future . By 2017 , the Indonesian - led genocide against West Papuan natives peaked with almost 25 % of the native population killed within a 50 - year period . The realization caused massive backlash from Oceania nations against Papua New Guinea 's policy on West Papua . In January 2017 , Papua New Guinea gave citizenship to 138 West Papuan refugees in a bid to calm tensions . In September 2017 , Papua New Guinea rejected the West Papuan Independence Petition in the United Nations General Assembly , to the pleasure of Indonesia . From April to March 2018 , a chain of earthquakes hit Papua New Guinea , causing various damages . Various nations from Oceania , Australia , the Philippines , and Timor - Leste immediately sent aid to the country . Notes ( edit ) Jump up ^ J.F. O'Connella , J.

when did papua new guinea become an independent country
[ "Elections in 1972 resulted in the formation of a ministry headed by Chief Minister Michael Somare, who pledged to lead the country to self-government and then to independence. Papua New Guinea became self-governing on 1 December 1973 and achieved independence on 16 September 1975. The country joined the United Nations (UN) on 10 October 1975 by way of Security Council Resolution 375 and General Assembly resolution 3368. The 1977 national elections confirmed Michael Somare as Prime Minister at the head of a coalition led by the Pangu Party. However, his government lost a vote of confidence in 1980 and was replaced by a new cabinet headed by Sir Julius Chan as prime minister. The 1982 elections increased Pangu's plurality, and parliament again chose Somare as prime minister. In November 1985, the Somare government lost another vote of no confidence, and the parliamentary majority elected Paias Wingti, at the head of a five-party coalition, as prime minister. A coalition, headed by Wingti, was victorious in very close elections in July 1987. In July 1988, a no-confidence vote toppled Wingti and brought to power Rabbie Namaliu, who a few weeks earlier had replaced Somare as leader of the Pangu Party." ]

Slender: The Eight Pages
Slender : the eight pages - Wikipedia Slender : the eight pages Jump to : navigation , search Slender : The Eight Pages Developer ( s ) Parsec Productions Publisher ( s ) Parsec Productions Designer ( s ) Mark J. Hadley Composer ( s ) Mark J. Hadley Engine Unity Platform ( s ) Microsoft Windows , OS X Release June 26 , 2012 Genre ( s ) Survival horror Mode ( s ) Single - player The gameplay summary in this article is too long or detailed compared to the rest of the article . Please edit the article to focus on discussing the work rather than merely detailing the gameplay . ( May 2017 ) Slender : The Eight Pages is a freeware indie - developed first - person survival horror video game released in June 2012 as a beta for Microsoft Windows and OS X , utilizing the Unity engine . Developed by Mark J. Hadley , the game is based on the quasi-folklore meme figure known as the Slender Man , who is depicted as a tall man wearing all black with a white face with no facial features . The character is known for the ominous abduction of countless children in dark mysterious settings , such as deep forests and abandoned buildings . Contents ( hide ) 1 Gameplay 2 Reception 3 Sequel 4 References 5 External links Gameplay ( edit ) Slender : The Eight Pages is set in the middle of a dense forest during the middle of the night , and is played from a first person perspective . The player 's objective is to collect all eight pages located in various areas of the forest while avoiding the Slender Man . As the player collects pages , the fog in the forest grows thicker , and Slender Man appears closer to the player 's character , though the character 's sprinting speed slowly increases as well . Slender Man moves by teleporting , creeping around the player , but only from a certain distance . The player is equipped with only a flashlight to see through the dark ( its battery life is limited and will eventually shut down permanently if left on for an extended period of time ) . The player 's character has the ability to `` jog '' , which will eventually tire out the player and make her wheeze if forced to go on for too long . Slender Man will occasionally appear in the player 's field of vision , accompanied with a loud piano slamming noise and / or static on the screen . This then allows the ability to `` sprint '' to become available to the player . `` Sprinting '' allows the player to move faster than `` jogging '' does , but will also decrease the maximum stamina available for `` jogging '' and `` sprinting '' . A game over occurs when either the player has taken too long to find a note , the player stares at Slender Man for too long , or if Slender Man comes into contact with the player , which will turn them around and end the game . The game over screen shows Slender Man 's face up close and blinking static pulses . Even if the player 's character successfully collects all the eight pages , the Slender Man will continue to chase them . Once all the pages are collected , one is allowed to walk around for a couple of seconds in total silence until Slender Man finally appears behind the player and ends the game . However , the end credits can be viewed afterwards if all eight pages were successfully collected , and new game modes are then unlocked . There is also a grace period in the very beginning of the game , during which Slender Man remains inactive for only a few minutes , or until the player collects the first page . However , the difficulty level increases the longer one goes without collecting any pages . The end of this grace period is indicated by a repetitive stomping sound echoing in the background . This sound is heard throughout the rest of the game , and gradually gets quicker as more pages are collected , as well as several other layering sounds . These sounds include a low droning sound ( pages 3 -- 4 ) , a loud wind ( pages 5 -- 6 ) , and then a mysterious and unnerving beeping sound ( page 7 ) . Once all 8 pages are collected , the sounds abruptly fade into silence . In Version 0.9. 4 there is a `` Daytime Mode '' that can be unlocked . To unlock this mode , the player must beat the game on `` Normal '' , but there is a different ending where the player awakes in the daytime after collecting all eight pages and being caught by Slender Man . After waking up , the player can walk around in the daytime for a few seconds before the credits roll . `` Daytime Mode '' is simply during the day and without a flashlight . If the player beats `` Daytime Mode '' the ending will be the same as before , only the player wakes up at night . After the credits roll , the player will have unlocked `` $20 Mode '' . In this mode , gameplay is the same as `` Normal Mode '' , except that if the player sees Slender Man a song called `` 20 Dollars '' by American rap artist Ron Browz starts playing . This is a reference to a fan - originated meme about Slender Man , stating that if a person gives Slender Man $20 , he will leave the person alone . This is the only version in which the Player selects these modes in the `` Options '' portion of the menu screen , and this is also the only version in which two hidden modes can be played at the same time ( `` Daytime Mode '' and `` $20 Mode '' ) . There is also a `` MH ( Marble Hornets ) Mode '' , viewing the gameplay as a ' Marble Hornets ' entry . The creepy sounds and page collector have been removed , there are static bars on the edges , and the ending is slightly different . However , the `` $20 Mode '' has been absent since version 0.9. 7 due to unknown reasons . The accompanying readme advises `` One game mode removed - it was only a matter of time as it contained copyrighted material '' which could be the reason . From version 0.9. 7 on , there is an ambiance during the menu screen , as well as portions of the eight pages being shown . There are also now links to the Slender Man Mythos Forums and some popular web series based on the Mythos such as the ' Marble Hornets ' and the ' TribeTwelve ' . As of this version , the game was officially renamed Slender : The Eight Pages to avoid confusion with future versions such as Slender : The Arrival . `` $20 Mode '' has also been removed from this version because of Copyright issues . `` MH Mode '' has been renamed to `` Marble Hornets Mode '' ( simply the unabbreviated version of the title ) . Two new light sources are available : a glow stick with almost no light , and almost no range at all , and a crank lantern with a wide range , but a short amount of light which must be replenished by cranking the lantern . The player can now also pause the game by pressing `` Escape '' on the keyboard , but only when there is no static on the screen as to not allow the player to quit in response to being frightened . The game is now given a backstory in its sequel ; Slender : The Arrival . It was confirmed that the name of the character controlled in this game is Kate , also known as The Chaser in The Arrival . Reception ( edit ) Some publications noted the effectiveness of the game 's minimalist horror approach , contrasting it with many action - based survival horror games of the time period , such as the latest Resident Evil titles . The official website crashed after too many people tried to download the game , leading to subsequent mirror downloads on Reddit and later MediaFire . Sequel ( edit ) A sequel to the game called Slender : The Arrival was released on March 26 , 2013 to positive reviews . References ( edit ) Jump up ^ `` Slender : The Eight Pages '' . Giant Bomb .

His height is not a product of gigantism -- `` I do n't have the big head '' -- but of a connective tissue disorder called Marfan syndrome . His peak height was 7 feet 3 inches ( 221 cm ) . Career ( edit ) Early work ( edit ) Mayhew got his first acting job in 1976 when the producers of Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger discovered him from a photograph in a newspaper article about men with large feet , and cast him in the role of the minotaur . Chewbacca ( edit ) Mayhew at the Big Apple Con , 14 November 2008 , sitting in front of an image of his most famous role as Chewbacca When casting his first Star Wars film , producer George Lucas needed a tall actor who could fit the role of the hairy alien Chewbacca . He originally had in mind 6 - foot - 6 - inch ( 1.98 m ) bodybuilder David Prowse , but instead Prowse chose to play Darth Vader . This led Lucas on a search which turned up Mayhew , who was working as an orderly and says that all he had to do to be cast in the role of Chewbacca was stand up . Mayhew has played Chewbacca in five Star Wars films : the original trilogy ( Star Wars , The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi ) , Star Wars : Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars : The Force Awakens . He played the role in the 1978 television film Star Wars Holiday Special and in an appearance on The Muppet Show . He also recorded dialogue for the Star Wars : The Clone Wars Season 3 finale episode `` Wookiee Hunt '' . Mayhew plays the role in commercials and in hospital appearances for sick children and has made numerous appearances as Chewbacca outside the Star Wars films . Mayhew as Chewbacca was honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the MTV Film Awards 1997 . He was additionally honoured at the release of the new PlayStation Portable where he dressed as Chewbacca and held up the new PSP slim version . He has made other media appearances without the Chewbacca costume . He appeared on NBC 's Identity , where his identity was based on the fact that he played Chewbacca and was a frequent guest in the early days of Slice of SciFi . While Mayhew portrayed Chewbacca in Star Wars : The Force Awakens , he was not in Star Wars : The Last Jedi . Mayhew retired from playing Chewbacca due to health issues . Joonas Suotamo , who split time with Mayhew on Star Wars : The Force Awakens , took over portraying Chewbacca . Other work ( edit ) Outside Star Wars , Mayhew has appeared in the 1978 horror film Terror , directed by Norman J. Warren . In the English version of Dragon Ball GT : A Hero 's Legacy , he provided the voice for Susha . He also appeared in Yesterday Was a Lie . Books ( edit ) Mayhew has written two books for younger audience : `` Growing Up Giant '' which explains that being different is a strength instead of a weakness and anti-bullying book for children `` My Favorite Giant '' . Personal life ( edit ) Mayhew lives in Boyd , Texas and is a business owner . He became a naturalised citizen of the United States in 2005 at a ceremony in Arlington , Texas . In an interview with the Fort Worth Star - Telegram he joked that he did not get a medal at this ceremony either , a reference to the Star Wars scene in which Luke and Han get medals but Chewbacca does not . Mayhew noted in an MTV interview that although Chewbacca does not get a medal in the film , he does get the last line , when he roars . Mayhew underwent double knee replacement surgery in 2013 . In January 2015 , Mayhew was briefly hospitalised near his home in Texas , due to a bout of pneumonia .

Mass - produced calculator watches appeared in the early 1980s , with the most being produced in the middle of the decade , Future ( edit ) The future of the calculator watch as a practical and useful electronic device has been impacted by the introduction of PDAs , mobile phones , and other powerful multi-functional compact computing devices . As a result , many calculator watches are used for aesthetic purposes . See also ( edit ) Nelsonic game watch - Multipurpose wrist - watches allowing the wearer to play micro video games , these units were the technological descendants of the calculator watch and were patented under calculator watch patents . Smartwatches introduced in the 2010s are similar to calculator watches in both aesthetics and functionality , even though far more advanced in capabilities .

when did the casio calculator watch come out
[ "A calculator watch is a digital watch with a built in calculator, usually including buttons on the watch face. Calculator watches were first introduced in the 1970s and continue to be produced, despite falling from their peak popularity during the 1980s. The most notable brand is the Casio Databank series, though watches made by Timex were also popular.\n" ]

Allison DuBois
Allison DuBois - wikipedia Allison DuBois Jump to : navigation , search Allison DuBois Allison DuBois on a panel at San Diego Comic - Con ( 1972 - 01 - 24 ) January 24 , 1972 ( age 46 ) Phoenix , Arizona Occupation Writer , medium Nationality American Period 2005 -- present Spouse Joe Klupar Children Website www.allisondubois.com Allison DuBois ( born January 24 , 1972 ) is an American author and purported medium . DuBois has stated that use of her psychic abilities has assisted U.S. law enforcement officials in solving crimes , forming the basis of the TV series Medium . Her alleged powers as a medium were tested by Gary Schwartz of the University of Arizona . While Schwartz claims that his research supports DuBois 's psychic abilities , skeptics have pointed out flaws in both DuBois 's claims and Schwartz 's research . Some of her claims regarding work done in high profile investigations , such as her description of the Baseline rapist , have been shown to be either incorrect or of little investigative value . Contents ( hide ) 1 Early life 2 Career 2.1 Medium 3 Criticism 4 Personal life 5 Books 6 References 7 External links Early life ( edit ) DuBois was born in Phoenix , Arizona , where she attended both North High School in Phoenix and Corona del Sol High School in Tempe . Despite dropping out , she obtained her GED at the age of 16 . In college , she worked as an intern at the district attorney 's office in Phoenix . She received her B.A. in political science with a minor in history from Arizona State University . Career ( edit ) DuBois refers to herself as a medium and profiler , rather than a psychic , because of the negative connotation she feels is associated with the term psychic . She claims that she became aware that she had the ability to communicate with departed souls when she was 6 years old . DuBois claims she uses this ability to connect deceased loved ones to the living , and also to help law enforcement agencies solve crimes , such as the Texas Rangers and the Glendale , Arizona police department , and that she used these abilities as a jury consultant . These law enforcement agencies have since either denied any such cooperation happened or stated the tips provided by DuBois were not helpful . According to the TV Guide , Allison DuBois spent four years participating in various tests at the University of Arizona to assist with their studies of mediums and psychic phenomena . Gary Schwartz , Director of The VERITAS Research Project , claims that DuBois has psychic abilities , arguing in the March 6 , 2005 TV Guide , `` Anyone who 's looked closely at the evidence ca n't help but come to the conclusion that there is something very real going on here . '' At their first meeting , Schwartz says DuBois accurately described a friend of Schwartz 's who had just died . Impressed , Schwartz conducted a series of interviews , including one in which DuBois stated she contacted the late husband of a woman in England , knowing only the woman 's name . The woman , after reading a transcript of the session , affirmed that 80 % of what DuBois said was accurate . Schwartz published his research in a book titled The Truth About Medium . According to a statement by DuBois , she does not endorse the book or Schwartz . Medium ( edit ) Main article : Medium ( TV series ) The television drama Medium , which aired from 2005 until 2011 on NBC and CBS is based on Allison DuBois 's book , Do n't Kiss Them Good - Bye . The show was created by Glenn Gordon Caron , creator of Moonlighting and other television shows , who is also one of the writers for the series . It is produced by CBS Television Studios ( having acquired the TV production arm of original producer Paramount Pictures ) and Grammnet , the production company owned by Cheers and Frasier alumnus Kelsey Grammer . Patricia Arquette was cast to play the role of DuBois , at the suggestion of Caron 's girlfriend . DuBois stated in the January 9 , 2005 TV Guide that she initially thought Arquette was too liberal to play her , remarking , `` I mean , I have a gun , I have put people on death row . I wanted to make sure that was something that did n't bother her . But she assured me that she believed some people may have that coming . '' `` Every episode is not a biography of my life , it is simply based on my life experiences . It is an accurate portrayal of my life and the people who share it with a little Hollywood magic thrown in , '' DuBois has said . She does state in both her book and in the edition of January 3 , 2005 of Sci Fi Weekly that the program closely resembles the truth of her own life . Several details of Arquette 's character match DuBois 's life , such as the name of her husband on the show ( Joe ) and the fact that he is an aerospace engineer . Both the character and the real - life Dubois have three daughters , and the first case the character `` consults '' on in the show 's pilot is with the Texas Rangers , the law enforcement agency with whom the real - life DuBois alleges she first worked . Criticism ( edit ) Skeptics such as Paul Kurtz and Ray Hyman say that DuBois does not have psychic powers . Skeptic James Randi says that people such as DuBois give the appearance of psychic powers through cold reading techniques . For example , DuBois , when doing her first reading of Schwartz , told him that his deceased friend was telling her , `` I do n't walk alone , '' which Schwartz understood to be a reference to his friend 's confinement to a wheelchair , which DuBois could not have known about . Randi says that Schwartz leapt to an unsupportable conclusion , since the notion of `` not walking alone '' can mean any number of things , and `` certainly does not describe being in a wheelchair . '' Randi also asserts that experiments that allegedly yield positive results of psychic powers , such as the ones done with DuBois , are not conducted using proper scientific controls . In light of Schwartz 's assertion that `` some '' of his experiments with DuBois were performed under such conditions , Randi questions why the rest of them were not , and points to a report demonstrating that a few of Schwartz 's experiments were not performed according to standard scientific protocol . Schwartz 's point - by - point response to Randi 's criticisms was published in 2005 . In 2005 , Randi offered to have DuBois tested for his One Million Dollar Challenge . According to Randi , DuBois declined his invitation to the challenge . In 2011 , the JREF again issued the million dollar challenge to James Van Praagh , Allison DuBois , Sylvia Browne , Carla Baron , John Edward , and others to prove their abilities in controlled experiments , commenting , `` James Van Praagh and Allison DuBois have turned the huckster art of ' cold reading ' into a multi-million - dollar industry , preying on families ' deepest fears and regrets , '' he says in a statement announcing the challenge . `` They should be embarrassed by the transparent performances . '' Former FBI profiler , behavioral science expert and MSNBC analyst Clint Van Zandt challenges statements about psychics helping law enforcement arguing , `` If psychics were truly successful and if their results were not simply the consequence of trickery ( at worse ( sic ) ) or good interviewing skills ( at best ) , then why do n't law enforcement agencies have psychic detective squads , a real X-Files Unit , or other ways to integrate these paranormal investigative capabilities ? '' Personal life ( edit ) DuBois 's parents , Mike Gomez and Tienna DuBois , divorced when she was a baby . Tienna remarried and divorced again when Allison was 12 . In her first book , DuBois writes about seeing her stepdad in public with his new family . DuBois is married to Joe Klupar and they have three daughters : Aurora , Fallon , and Sophia . DuBois believes that her daughters share her psychic abilities . In 2010 , DuBois made an appearance in The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills at a dinner party hosted by Camille Grammer . She had a major confrontation with Kyle Richards and insisted that Richards would `` never be emotionally fulfilled '' by her husband .

Lewis . From the seven novels , there have been three film adaptations so far -- The Lion , the Witch and the Wardrobe ( 2005 ) , Prince Caspian ( 2008 ) and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader ( 2010 ) -- which have grossed over $1.5 billion worldwide among them . The series revolves around the adventures of children in the world of Narnia , guided by Aslan , a wise and powerful lion that can speak and is the true king of Narnia . The children heavily featured in the films are the Pevensie siblings , and a prominent antagonist is the White Witch ( also known as Jadis ) . The first two films were directed by Andrew Adamson and the third film was directed by Michael Apted . The fourth film will be directed by Joe Johnston . Contents 1 Development 2 Films 2.1 The Lion , the Witch and the Wardrobe ( 2005 ) 2.2 Prince Caspian ( 2008 ) 2.3 The Voyage of the Dawn Treader ( 2010 ) 2.4 The Silver Chair ( TBA ) 3 Main cast 3.1 Children 3.2 Other main characters 4 Crew 5 Reception 5.1 Box office performance 5.2 Critical and public response 6 See also 7 Notes 8 References 9 External links Development ( edit ) C.S. Lewis never sold the film rights to the Narnia series during his lifetime , as he was skeptical that any cinematic adaptation could render the more fantastical elements and characters of the story realistically . Only after seeing a demo reel of CGI animals did Douglas Gresham ( Lewis 's stepson and literary executor , and film co-producer ) give approval for a film adaptation . Although the plan was originally to produce the films in the same order as the book series ' original publication , it was reported that The Magician 's Nephew , which recounts the creation of Narnia , would be the fourth feature film in the series , instead of The Silver Chair . It was rumoured that The Magician 's Nephew was chosen as an attempt to reboot the series , after the release of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader grossed less when compared to the two previous films . In March 2011 , Walden Media confirmed that they intended The Magician 's Nephew to be next in the series , but stressed that it was not yet in development . In October 2011 , Douglas Gresham stated that Walden Media 's contract with the C.S. Lewis estate had expired , hinting that Walden Media 's lapse in renegotiating their contract with the C.S. Lewis estate was due to internal conflicts between both companies about the direction of future films . On 1 October 2013 , The C.S. Lewis Company announced a partnership with The Mark Gordon Company , and that The Chronicles of Narnia : The Silver Chair was officially in pre-production . Films ( edit ) The Lion , the Witch and the Wardrobe ( 2005 ) ( edit ) Main article : The Chronicles of Narnia : The Lion , the Witch and the Wardrobe The Lion , the Witch and the Wardrobe , based on the novel of the same title , is the first film in the series . Directed by Andrew Adamson , it was shot mainly in New Zealand , though locations were used in Poland , the Czech Republic and the United Kingdom . The story follows the four British Pevensie siblings , who are evacuated during the Blitz to the countryside , where they find a wardrobe that leads to the fantasy world of Narnia . There , they must ally with the lion Aslan against the forces of the White Witch , who has placed Narnia in an eternal winter . The film was released theatrically on 9 December 2005 and on DVD on 4 April 2006 and grossed over $745 million worldwide . Prince Caspian ( 2008 ) ( edit ) Main article : The Chronicles of Narnia : Prince Caspian Prince Caspian , based on the novel of the same title , is the second film in the series and the last distributed by Walt Disney Pictures . The story follows the same Pevensie children who were transported to Narnia in the previous film as they return to Narnia , where 1,300 years have passed and the land has been invaded by the Telmarines . The four Pevensie children aid Prince Caspian in his struggle for the throne against his corrupt uncle , King Miraz . The film was released on 16 May 2008 . It grossed $419 million worldwide . The Voyage of the Dawn Treader ( 2010 ) ( edit ) Main article : The Chronicles of Narnia : The Voyage of the Dawn Treader The Voyage of the Dawn Treader , based on the novel of the same title , is the first film in the series not to be co-produced by Disney , who dropped out over a budget dispute with Walden Media . In February 2009 it was announced that 20th Century Fox would replace Disney for future installments . Directed by Michael Apted , the movie was filmed almost entirely in Australia . The story follows the two younger Pevensie children as they return to Narnia with their cousin , Eustace Scrubb . They join the old king of Narnia , Caspian , in his quest to rescue seven lost lords and save Narnia from a corrupting evil that resides on a lit island . The film was released on 10 December 2010 ( in RealD 3D in select theatres ) and grossed over $415 million worldwide . The Silver Chair ( tba ) ( edit ) After Walden Media 's contract of the series ' film rights expired in 2011 it was originally assumed that 2014 would be the earliest that production on another Narnia film could begin according to the moratorium placed on the C.S. Lewis estate 's right to sell the books ' film option . On 1 October 2013 , The C.S. Lewis Company announced that it had entered into an agreement with the Mark Gordon Company to produce The Chronicles of Narnia : The Silver Chair , based on The Silver Chair . Mark Gordon and Douglas Gresham along with Vincent Sieber , the Los Angeles based director of The C.S. Lewis Company , would serve as producers and work with The Mark Gordon Company on developing the script . On 5 December 2013 , it was announced that David Magee would write the screenplay . In July 2014 , the official Narnia website allowed the opportunity for fans to suggest names for the Lady of the Green Kirtle , the main antagonist . The winning name is to be selected by Mark Gordon and David Magee for use in the final script of The Chronicles of Narnia : The Silver Chair . While the film 's producers have been calling the film a `` reboot '' to the series , in actuality this is referring to the fact that the film has a new creative team not associated with those who worked on the previous three films . The film itself is still considered to be a sequel to the film adaptation of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader . On 9 August 2016 , it was announced that Sony 's TriStar Productions and Entertainment One Films will finance and distribute the fourth film with Mark Gordon Company ( which eOne owns ) and C.S. Lewis Company . In April 2017 , it was announced that Joe Johnston had been hired to direct The Silver Chair . In October , Johnston said filming is expected to begin in late 2018 . During an interview with Red Carpet News TV , producer Mark Gordon revealed scarce details about the new technologies and setting that would be used for the upcoming film .

Highest-paid NBA players by season
Highest - paid NBA players by season - wikipedia Highest - paid NBA players by season Michael Jordan , who earned $33,140,000 in the 1997 -- 98 NBA season , attempts a slam dunk at the old Boston Garden . The highest - paid NBA players by season over the past twelve seasons have received contracts with salaries noted in the twenty - million - dollar range . In this twelve - year span , Kevin Garnett received $28,000,000 , which was the highest salary payment of any NBA player , during the 2003 -- 04 season . Garnett has been the highest - paid NBA player per year in seven of the past twelve NBA seasons . Michael Jordan was the first NBA player to sign a contract worth over thirty million dollars in a season . During the 1997 -- 98 season , Jordan earned $33,140,000 , which still stands as the most any NBA player has earned on a 1 year contract , Jordan also holds the record for the second largest 1 year contract at $30,140,000 in the 1996 - 97 season . Kobe Bryant become just the second player to reach this milestone when the 2013 -- 14 season began . LeBron James became the third in the 2016 -- 17 season . Stephen Curry became the first player to eclipse $40 - Million per year when he signed a record 5 - year contract worth $201 - Million in 2017 , starting with $34,682,550 in the 2017 - 18 season and ending with the largest earnings in the 2021 - 22 season with a record payout of $45,780,966 . Beginning in the 1984 -- 85 NBA season , the NBA 's first salary cap was introduced . The NBA salary cap is the maximum dollar amount each NBA team can spend on its players for the season . However , the NBA uses a `` soft '' salary cap , which means that significant `` salary exceptions '' allow NBA teams to exceed their allotted amount in order to sign players . The salary cap is determined during the offseason , but as stated earlier , it is liable to change . An exception is necessary to sign a player for a contract that would exceed the salary cap threshold of the `` soft cap '' . The Larry Bird exception , more commonly known as Bird Rights , allows teams to re-sign a current player only if he has played for that particular team for a minimum of three years . Another exception known as the mid-level exception allows for teams that are over the salary cap to sign one or more players as long as they do not exceed the total amount of the average NBA salary . Next , the bi-annual exception can be used by teams every other year to sign a free agent ( s ) for up to two years at an amount set by the NBA . Finally , the rookie player exception allows any NBA team to sign their first - round draft pick to a contract based upon a scale previously set forth by the NBA . Another option for teams would be to assign players to a league - assigned minimum salary contract for a maximum of two years . According to 2010 -- 11 NBA season game performance , the league 's best players were not its highest - paid players . Each year there are ten players selected to one of the two All - NBA Teams . Out of those ten players chosen that year , Kobe Bryant was the only player that was also among the game 's ten highest - paid during the 2010 -- 11 NBA season .

She is portrayed by actress Cynthia Nixon . Nixon received an Emmy Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award for her performance . Contents ( hide ) 1 Character analysis 2 Sex and the City : The Movie 3 Sex and the City 2 4 Relationships 4.1 Skipper Johnston 4.2 Dr. Robert Leeds 4.3 Steve Brady 5 References 6 External links Character analysis ( edit ) `` Do any of you have a completely unremarkable friend or maybe a houseplant I could go to dinner with on Saturday night ? '' Miranda Hobbes is a career - minded lawyer with extremely cynical views on relationships and men . A 1990 Harvard University law graduate from the Philadelphia area , she is Carrie 's confidante and voice of reason . In the early seasons she is portrayed as masculine and distrustful and resentful of men , but this image softens over the years , particularly after she becomes pregnant by her on - again , off - again boyfriend , Steve Brady , whom she eventually marries . The birth of her son , Brady Hobbes , brings up new issues for her Type A , workaholic personality , but she eventually finds a way to balance career , being single , and motherhood . Of the four women , she is the first to purchase an apartment ( an indicator of her success ) , which she gives up when she moves into a Brooklyn townhouse in the final season to make room for her growing family . Sex and the City : the movie ( edit ) In the movie , Miranda is still married to Steve , and they are living in Brooklyn with their son Brady , who is now five years old . We learn that she is still employing Magda and that Steve 's mother Mary is living in a nursing home , as she now suffers from advancing Alzheimer 's . Miranda and Steve 's relationship has become stale , with Miranda under pressure of her job and caring for Brady . After a shared laugh one night over Miranda having a milk moustache , the two have sex in a moment of newfound passion , but midway through Miranda tells Steve to hurry up because she has to get up early , which upsets him . At one of their coffee dates , Miranda tells the girls that she and Steve have not had sex in six months , and shortly afterwards Steve confesses he had sex with another woman one time out of frustration . Although Steve begs for forgiveness , Miranda insists on splitting up , and she moves to the Lower East Side . In a moment of shortsighted selfishness , she tells Big the night before his and Carrie 's wedding that they are crazy to get married because it ruins everything , causing him to leave Carrie at the altar . Miranda wants to confess everything right after , but Charlotte convinces her it was not really her fault but Big 's . The girls change the honeymoon trip into a vacation trip for themselves . Almost a ( lonely ) year passes by before Miranda confesses it on Valentine 's Day to Carrie about her wrongdoing . Carrie berates Miranda for wanting forgiveness for her own mistake but refusing to forgive Steve . Miranda and Steve go to couples ' therapy , during which they decide to meet on the Brooklyn Bridge in two weeks if they want to forgive and forget what happened and start over . Miranda starts contemplating her relationship with Steve by making a pro and cons list . She looks in the mirror and sees that she has a milk moustache . This makes her realize she wants to be with Steve after all and she hurries to the Brooklyn Bridge to reconcile with him . Sex and the City 2 ( edit ) In Sex and the City 2 , Miranda is an overworked lawyer who barely has enough time to show up to her son 's school activities . She feels that she 's being taken advantage of at work , overlooked because she is a woman . When Steve suggests she quit her job , she is reluctant but does after she is overlooked -- then shushed -- by her boss during a meeting . To get over the shock , she decides to accompany Samantha , Carrie and Charlotte to Abu Dhabi . While there , she is obsessed with learning the language and enjoying the traditions . She also sympathizes with Charlotte at her feeling inadequate , confessing that it 's exhausting being a `` good '' mother . When she arrives home , after they 're kicked out of the hotel , she looks for and finds a more self - fulfilling job . She is last seen at an outdoor staff meeting ( having found a new position at another , more relaxed law firm ) where she is obviously flourishing and appreciated . Relationships ( edit ) Skipper Johnston ( edit ) Skipper Johnston ( Ben Weber ) is a 27 - year - old website developer with whom Miranda enters into a tentative relationship in the first season . Originally introduced by Carrie , Miranda finds Skipper young and immature , and is irritated by his romantic view of life and love , which contrasts sharply with her cynical outlook . Although they occasionally engage in an on - again , off - again sexual relationship , she never plans for him to become a serious interest . In contrast , Skipper is terribly smitten with Miranda from the start , even going so far as to break up with a girl in mid-intercourse when Miranda calls , as he believes it means that `` the woman he loves most '' wants to be with him . Horrified at learning this , Miranda suggests dating other people but Skipper , angered by Miranda 's attitude , breaks it off and leaves . He is next seen when his latest girlfriend ends things with him and as this has happened a lot , Skipper is angry - attracting Miranda 's attention again . Dr. Robert Leeds ( edit ) Dr. Robert Leeds ( Blair Underwood ) is a successful sports medicine doctor for the New York Knicks , whom Miranda meets while interviewing him with fellow members of her building 's tenant board to occupy a vacant apartment . Upon Robert 's arrival , Miranda is instantly charmed by him , and somewhat hijacks the interview in order to learn more about him . Robert is eventually approved to move in , and in time the two begin a short but lively romantic relationship . Despite Miranda and Robert 's sparks of chemistry , Miranda can not control her longing for her current on - again , off - again boyfriend , Steve Brady . Eventually , at her son 's first birthday party , Miranda professes her love to Steve , and her relationship with Robert is ended off - screen . After a few awkward encounters , Robert overcomes his anger towards Miranda and Steve , and is last seen in the series with two scantily dressed women in his apartment . Steve Brady ( edit ) Steve Brady ( David Eigenberg ) and Miranda meet during the second season when Miranda is waiting for Carrie at the bar where Steve works . Although Miranda simply sees Steve as a one - night stand after they meet , Steve senses a strong connection , and he asks to see her again . Miranda refuses at first , but they become a couple after she realizes her strong attraction for Steve . The couple 's difference in economic status creates tension in their relationship , and they eventually break up . However , they remain on friendly terms , often leading to a sexual relationship between the two . After Steve loses one of his testicles to cancer , Miranda sleeps with him to convince him that having one ball will not prevent women from having sex with him . This union results in her pregnancy . She initially decides to have an abortion without planning to inform Steve of her pregnancy . At the clinic , she changes her mind , and decides to keep the baby . Miranda tells Steve she is pregnant and will take on full responsibility , including raising the child and providing all the related finances , but Steve can visit whenever he wants and generally be a part of the baby 's life . Steve later proposes to Miranda , which prompts her to yell at him that she does n't want to marry him , to which Steve responds that he does n't really want to marry her . Miranda gives birth to Brady Hobbes ( an homage to their respective surnames ) , and the two try to raise him together as platonic partners , with difficulty . Miranda initially pretends that she does n't love Steve , but when she attempts to admit her feelings for him , she discovers he is now seeing another woman , Debbie . Eventually , at Brady 's first birthday party , Miranda ends up blurting out her love for Steve and , to her delight and surprise , Steve admits that he , too , loves Miranda , and that she is `` the one . '' They kiss , and within three weeks they are back together ; they remain together for the rest of the series , eventually getting married in a simple ceremony with their closest friends and family in a community garden and purchasing a townhouse in Brooklyn for their growing family . In Sex and the City : The Movie , the pair go through a rough part whereby Steve cheats on Miranda . The couple split and then go through counselling and reunite at the end of the film .

Parthenogenesis
Parthenogenesis - wikipedia Parthenogenesis Jump to : navigation , search For a similar process in plants , rather than animals , see Apomixis . Not to be confused with Pathogenesis . The asexual , all - female whiptail species Cnemidophorus neomexicanus ( center ) , which reproduces via parthenogenesis , is shown flanked by two sexual species having males C. inornatus ( left ) and C. tigris ( right ) , which hybridized naturally to form the C. neomexicanus species . Parthenogenesis ( / ˌpɑːrθɪnoʊˈdʒɛnɪsɪs , - θɪnə - / ; from the Greek παρθένος parthenos , `` virgin '' , + γένεσις genesis , `` creation '' ) is a natural form of asexual reproduction in which growth and development of embryos occur without fertilization . In animals , parthenogenesis means development of an embryo from an unfertilized egg cell . In plants parthenogenesis is a component process of apomixis . Parthenogenesis occurs naturally in some plants , some invertebrate animal species ( including nematodes , water fleas , some scorpions , aphids , some mites , some bees , some Phasmida and parasitic wasps ) and a few vertebrates ( such as some fish , amphibians , reptiles and very rarely birds ) . This type of reproduction has been induced artificially in a few species including fish and amphibians . Normal egg cells form after meiosis and are haploid , with half as many chromosomes as their mother 's body cells . Haploid individuals , however , are usually non-viable , and parthenogenetic offspring usually have the diploid chromosome number . Depending on the mechanism involved in restoring the diploid number of chromosomes , parthenogenetic offspring may have anywhere between all and half of the mother 's alleles . The offspring having all of the mother 's genetic material are called full clones and those having only half are called half clones . Full clones are usually formed without meiosis . If meiosis occurs , the offspring will get only a fraction of the mother 's alleles since crossing over of DNA takes place during meiosis , creating variation . Parthenogenetic offspring in species that use either the XY or the X0 sex - determination system have two X chromosomes and are female . In species that use the ZW sex - determination system , they have either two Z chromosomes ( male ) or two W chromosomes ( mostly non-viable but rarely a female ) , or they could have one Z and one W chromosome ( female ) .

Komodo dragons are an example of a species which can produce offspring both through sexual reproduction and parthenogenesis . Some species reproduce exclusively by parthenogenesis ( such as the Bdelloid rotifers ) , while others can switch between sexual reproduction and parthenogenesis . This is called facultative parthenogenesis ( other terms are cyclical parthenogenesis , heterogamy or heterogony ) . The switch between sexuality and parthenogenesis in such species may be triggered by the season ( aphid , some gall wasps ) , or by a lack of males or by conditions that favour rapid population growth ( rotifers and cladocerans like daphnia ) . In these species asexual reproduction occurs either in summer ( aphids ) or as long as conditions are favourable . This is because in asexual reproduction a successful genotype can spread quickly without being modified by sex or wasting resources on male offspring who wo n't give birth . In times of stress , offspring produced by sexual reproduction may be fitter as they have new , possibly beneficial gene combinations . In addition , sexual reproduction provides the benefit of meiotic recombination between non-sister chromosomes , a process associated with repair of DNA double - strand breaks and other DNA damages that may be induced by stressful conditions . ( See also Meiosis section : Origin and function of meiosis . ) Many taxa with heterogony have within them species that have lost the sexual phase and are now completely asexual . Many other cases of obligate parthenogenesis ( or gynogenesis ) are found among polyploids and hybrids where the chromosomes can not pair for meiosis . The production of female offspring by parthenogenesis is referred to as thelytoky ( e.g. , aphids ) while the production of males by parthenogenesis is referred to as arrhenotoky ( e.g. , bees ) . When unfertilized eggs develop into both males and females , the phenomenon is called deuterotoky . Types and mechanisms ( edit ) Parthenogenesis can occur without meiosis through mitotic oogenesis . This is called apomictic parthenogenesis . Mature egg cells are produced by mitotic divisions , and these cells directly develop into embryos . In flowering plants , cells of the gametophyte can undergo this process . The offspring produced by apomictic parthenogenesis are full clones of their mother . Examples include aphids . Parthenogenesis involving meiosis is more complicated . In some cases , the offspring are haploid ( e.g. , male ants ) . In other cases , collectively called automictic parthenogenesis , the ploidy is restored to diploidy by various means . This is because haploid individuals are not viable in most species . In automictic parthenogenesis the offspring differ from one another and from their mother . They are called half clones of their mother . Automictic ( edit ) The effects of central fusion and terminal fusion on heterozygosity Automixis is a term that covers several reproductive mechanisms , some of which are parthenogenetic . Diploidy might be restored by the doubling of the chromosomes without cell division before meiosis begins or after meiosis is completed . This is referred to as an endomitotic cycle . This may also happen by the fusion of the first two blastomeres . Other species restore their ploidy by the fusion of the meiotic products . The chromosomes may not separate at one of the two anaphases ( called restitutional meiosis ) , or the nuclei produced may fuse or one of the polar bodies may fuse with the egg cell at some stage during its maturation . Some authors consider all forms of automixis sexual as they involve recombination . Many others classify the endomitotic variants as asexual , and consider the resulting embryos parthenogenetic . Among these authors the threshold for classifying automixis as a sexual process depends on when the products of anaphase I or of anaphase II are joined together . The criterion for `` sexuality '' varies from all cases of restitutional meiosis , to those where the nuclei fuse or to only those where gametes are mature at the time of fusion . Those cases of automixis that are classified as sexual reproduction are compared to self - fertilization in their mechanism and consequences . The genetic composition of the offspring depends on what type of apomixis takes place . When endomitosis occurs before meiosis or when central fusion occurs ( restitutional meiosis of anaphase I or the fusion of its products ) , the offspring get all to more than half of the mother 's genetic material and heterozygosity is mostly preserved ( if the mother has two alleles for a locus , it is likely that the offspring will get both ) . This is because in anaphase I the homologous chromosomes are separated . Heterozygosity is not completely preserved when crossing over occurs in central fusion . In the case of pre-meiotic doubling , recombination - if it happens - occurs between identical sister chromatids . If terminal fusion ( restitutional meiosis of anaphase II or the fusion of its products ) occurs , a little over half the mother 's genetic material is present in the offspring and the offspring are mostly homozygous . This is because at anaphase II the sister chromatids are separated and whatever heterozygosity is present is due to crossing over . In the case of endomitosis after meiosis the offspring is completely homozygous and has only half the mother 's genetic material . This can result in parthenogenetic offspring being unique from each other and from their mother . Sex of the offspring ( edit ) In apomictic parthenogenesis , the offspring are clones of the mother and hence ( except for aphids ) are usually female . In the case of aphids , parthenogenetically produced males and females are clones of their mother except that the males lack one of the X chromosomes ( XO ) . When meiosis is involved , the sex of the offspring will depend on the type of sex determination system and the type of apomixis . In species that use the XY sex - determination system , parthenogenetic offspring will have two X chromosomes and are female . In species that use the ZW sex - determination system the offspring genotype may be one of ZW ( female ) , ZZ ( male ) , or WW ( non-viable in most species but a fertile , viable female in a few ( e.g. , boas ) ) . ZW offspring are produced by endoreplication before meiosis or by central fusion . ZZ and WW offspring occur either by terminal fusion or by endomitosis in the egg cell . In polyploid obligate parthenogens like the whiptail lizard , all the offspring are female . In many hymenopteran insects such as honeybees , female eggs are produced sexually , using sperm from a drone father , while the production of further drones ( males ) depends on the queen ( and occasionally workers ) producing unfertilised eggs . This means that females ( workers and queens ) are always diploid , while males ( drones ) are always haploid , and produced parthenogenetically . Facultative ( edit ) Facultative parthenogenesis is the term for when a female can produce offspring either sexually or via asexual reproduction . Facultative parthenogenesis is extremely rare in nature , with only a few examples of animal taxa capable of facultative parthenogenesis . One of the best known examples of taxa exhibiting facultative parthenogenesis are mayflies ; presumably this is the default reproductive mode of all species in this insect order . Facultative parthenogenesis is believed to be a response to a lack of a viable male . A female may undergo facultative parthenogenesis if a male is absent from the habitat or if it is unable to produce viable offspring . Facultative parthenogenesis is often incorrectly used to describe cases of accidental or spontaneous parthenogenesis in normally sexual animals . For example , many cases of accidental parthenogenesis in sharks , some snakes , Komodo dragons and a variety of domesticated birds were widely perpetuated as facultative parthenogenesis . These cases are , however , examples of accidental parthenogenesis , given the frequency of asexually produced eggs and their hatching rates are extremely low , in contrast to true facultative parthenogenesis where the majority of asexually produced eggs hatch . The occurrence of such asexually produced eggs in sexual animals can be explained by a meiotic error , leading to eggs produced via automixis . Obligate ( edit ) Obligate parthenogenesis is the process in which organisms exclusively reproduce through asexual means . Many species have been shown to transition to obligate parthenogenesis over evolutionary time . Among these species , one of the most well documented transitions to obligate parthenogenesis was found in almost all metazoan taxa , albeit through highly diverse mechanisms . These transitions often occur as a result of inbreeding or mutation within large populations . There are a number of documented species , specifically salamanders and geckos , that rely on obligate parthenogenesis as their major method of reproduction . As such , there are over 80 species of unisex reptiles ( mostly lizards but including a single snake species ) , amphibians and fishes in nature for which males are no longer a part of the reproductive process . A female will produce an ovum with a full set ( two sets of genes ) provided solely by the mother . Thus , a male is not needed to provide sperm to fertilize the egg . This form of asexual reproduction is thought in some cases to be a serious threat to biodiversity for the subsequent lack of gene variation and potentially decreased fitness of the offspring . Some invertebrate species that feature ( partial ) sexual reproduction in their native range are found to reproduce solely by parthenogenesis in areas to which they have been introduced . Relying solely on parthenogenetic reproduction has several advantages for an invasive species : it obviates the need for individuals in a very sparse initial population to search for mates , and an exclusively female sex distribution allows a population to multiply and invade more rapidly , potentially up to twice as fast . Examples include several aphid species and the willow sawfly , Nematus oligospilus , which is sexual in its native Holarctic habitat but parthenogenetic where it has been introduced into the Southern Hemisphere . Natural occurrence ( edit ) Parthenogenesis is seen to occur naturally in aphids , Daphnia , rotifers , nematodes and some other invertebrates , as well as in many plants . Among vertebrates , strict parthenogenesis is only known to occur in lizards , snakes , birds and sharks , with fish , amphibians and reptiles exhibiting various forms of gynogenesis and hybridogenesis ( an incomplete form of parthenogenesis ) . The first all - female ( unisexual ) reproduction in vertebrates was described in the fish Poecilia formosa in 1932 . Since then at least 50 species of unisexual vertebrate have been described , including at least 20 fish , 25 lizards , a single snake species , frogs , and salamanders . Other , usually sexual , species may occasionally reproduce parthenogenetically and Komodo dragons ; the hammerhead and blacktip sharks are recent additions to the known list of spontaneous parthenogenetic vertebrates . As with all types of asexual reproduction , there are both costs ( low genetic diversity and therefore susceptibility to adverse mutations that might occur ) and benefits ( reproduction without the need for a male ) associated with parthenogenesis . Parthenogenesis is distinct from artificial animal cloning , a process where the new organism is necessarily genetically identical to the cell donor . In cloning , the nucleus of a diploid cell from a donor organism is inserted into an enucleated egg cell and the cell is then stimulated to undergo continued mitosis , resulting in an organism that is genetically identical to the donor . Parthenogenesis is different , in that it originates from the genetic material contained within an egg cell and the new organism is not necessarily genetically identical to the parent . Parthenogenesis may be achieved through an artificial process as described below under the discussion of mammals . Insects ( edit ) Parthenogenesis in insects can cover a wide range of mechanisms . The offspring produced by parthenogenesis may be of both sexes , only female ( thelytoky , e.g. aphids and some hymenopterans ) or only male ( arrhenotoky , e.g. most hymenopterans ) . Both true parthenogenesis and pseudogamy ( gynogenesis or sperm - dependent parthenogenesis ) are known to occur . The egg cells , depending on the species may be produced without meiosis ( apomictically ) or by one of the several automictic mechanisms . A related phenomenon , polyembryony is a process that produces multiple clonal offspring from a single egg cell . This is known in some hymenopteran parasitoids and in Strepsiptera . In automictic species the offspring can be haploid or diploid . Diploids are produced by doubling or fusion of gametes after meiosis . Fusion is seen in the Phasmatodea , Hemiptera ( Aleurodids and Coccidae ) , Diptera , and some Hymenoptera . In addition to these forms is hermaphroditism , where both the eggs and sperm are produced by the same individual , but is not a type of parthenogenesis . This is seen in three species of Icerya scale insects . Parasitic bacteria like Wolbachia have been noted to induce automictic thelytoky in many insect species with haplodiploid systems . They also cause gamete duplication in unfertilized eggs causing them to develop into female offspring . Honey bee on a plum blossom Among species with the haplo - diploid sex - determination system , such as hymenopterans ( ants , bees and wasps ) and thysanopterans ( thrips ) , haploid males are produced from unfertilized eggs . Usually eggs are laid only by the queen , but the unmated workers may also lay haploid , male eggs either regularly ( e.g. stingless bees ) or under special circumstances . An example of non-viable parthenogenesis is common among domesticated honey bees . The queen bee is the only fertile female in the hive ; if she dies without the possibility for a viable replacement queen , it is not uncommon for the worker bees to lay eggs . This is a result of the lack of the queen 's pheromones and the pheromones secreted by uncapped brood , which normally suppress ovarian development in workers . Worker bees are unable to mate , and the unfertilized eggs produce only drones ( males ) , which can mate only with a queen . Thus , in a relatively short period , all the worker bees die off , and the new drones follow if they have not been able to mate before the collapse of the colony . This behaviour is believed to have evolved to allow a doomed colony to produce drones which may mate with a virgin queen and thus preserve the colony 's genetic progeny . A few ants and bees are capable of producing diploid female offspring parthenogenetically . These include a honey bee subspecies from South Africa , Apis mellifera capensis , where workers are capable of producing diploid eggs parthenogenetically , and replacing the queen if she dies ; other examples include some species of small carpenter bee , ( genus Ceratina ) . Many parasitic wasps are known to be parthenogenetic , sometimes due to infections by Wolbachia . The workers in five ant species and the queens in some ants are known to reproduce by parthenogenesis . In Cataglyphis cursor , a European formicine ant , the queens and workers can produce new queens by parthenogenesis . The workers are produced sexually . In Central and South American electric ants , Wasmannia auropunctata , queens produce more queens through automictic parthenogenesis with central fusion . Sterile workers usually are produced from eggs fertilized by males . In some of the eggs fertilized by males , however , the fertilization can cause the female genetic material to be ablated from the zygote . In this way , males pass on only their genes to become fertile male offspring . This is the first recognized example of an animal species where both females and males can reproduce clonally resulting in a complete separation of male and female gene pools . As a consequence , the males will only have fathers and the queens only mothers , while the sterile workers are the only ones with both parents of both genders . These ants get both the benefits of both asexual and sexual reproduction -- the daughters who can reproduce ( the queens ) have all of the mother 's genes , while the sterile workers whose physical strength and disease resistance are important are produced sexually . Other examples of insect parthenogenesis can be found in gall - forming aphids ( e.g. , Pemphigus betae ) , where females reproduce parthenogenetically during the gall - forming phase of their life cycle and in grass thrips . In the grass thrips genus Aptinothrips there have been , despite the very limited number of species in the genus , several transitions to asexuality . Crustaceans ( edit ) Crustacean reproduction varies both across and within species . The water flea Daphnia pulex alternates between sexual and parthenogenetic reproduction . Among the better - known large decapod crustaceans , some crayfish reproduce by parthenogensis . `` Marmorkrebs '' are parthenogenetic crayfish that were discovered in the pet trade in the 1990s . Offspring are genetically identical to the parent , indicating it reproduces by apomixis , i.e. parthenogenesis in which the eggs did not undergo meiosis . Spinycheek crayfish ( Orconectes limosus ) can reproduce both sexually and by parthenogenesis . The Louisiana red swamp crayfish ( Procambarus clarkii ) , which normally reproduces sexually , has also been suggested to reproduce by parthenogenesis , although no individuals of this species have been reared this way in the lab . Artemia parthenogenetica is a species or series of populations of parthenogenetic brine shrimps . Velvet worms ( edit ) No males of Epiperipatus imthurni have been found , and specimens from Trinidad were shown to reproduce parthenogenetically . This species is the only known velvet worm to reproduce via parthenogenesis . Spiders ( edit ) At least two species of spiders in the family Oonopidae ( goblin spiders ) , Heteroonops spinimanus and Triaeris stenaspis , are thought to be parthenogenetic , as no males have ever been collected . Parthenogenetic reproduction has been demonstrated in the laboratory for T. stenaspis . Rotifers ( edit ) In bdelloid rotifers , females reproduce exclusively by parthenogenesis ( obligate parthenogenesis ) , while in monogonont rotifers , females can alternate between sexual and asexual reproduction ( cyclical parthenogenesis ) . At least in one normally cyclical parthenogenetic species obligate parthenogenesis can be inherited : a recessive allele leads to loss of sexual reproduction in homozygous offspring . Flatworms ( edit ) At least two species in the genus Dugesia , flatworms in the Turbellaria sub-division of the phylum Platyhelminthes , include polyploid individuals that reproduce by parthenogenesis . This type of parthenogenesis requires mating , but the sperm does not contribute to the genetics of the offspring ( the parthenogenesis is pseudogamous , alternatively referred to as gynogenetic ) . A complex cycle of matings between diploid sexual and polyploid parthenogenetic individuals produces new parthenogenetic lines . Snails ( edit ) Several species of parthenogenetic gastropods have been studied , especially with respect to their status as invasive species . Such species include the New Zealand mud snail ( Potamopyrgus antipodarum ) , the red - rimmed melania ( Melanoides tuberculata ) , and the Quilted melania ( Tarebia granifera ) . Squamata ( edit ) Main article : Parthenogenesis in squamata Komodo dragon , Varanus komodoensis , rarely reproduces offspring via parthenogenesis . Most reptiles of the squamatan order ( lizards and snakes ) reproduce sexually , but parthenogenesis has been observed to occur naturally in certain species of whiptails , some geckos , rock lizards , Komodo dragons and snakes . Some of these like the mourning gecko Lepidodactylus lugubris , Indo - Pacific house gecko Hemidactylus garnotii , the hybrid whiptails Cnemidophorus , Caucasian rock lizards Darevskia , and the brahminy blindsnake , Indotyphlops braminus are unisexual and obligately parthenogenetic . Other reptiles , such as the Komodo dragon , other monitor lizards , and some species of boas , pythons , filesnakes , gartersnakes and rattlesnakes were previously considered as cases of facultative parthenogenesis , but are in fact cases of accidental parthenogenesis . In 2012 , facultative parthenogenesis was reported in wild vertebrates for the first time by US researchers amongst captured pregnant copperhead and cottonmouth female pit - vipers . The Komodo dragon , which normally reproduces sexually , has also been found able to reproduce asexually by parthenogenesis . A case has been documented of a Komodo dragon reproducing via sexual reproduction after a known parthenogenetic event , highlighting that these cases of parthenogenesis are reproductive accidents , rather than adaptive , facultative parthenogenesis . Some reptile species use a ZW chromosome system , which produces either males ( ZZ ) or females ( ZW ) . Until 2010 , it was thought that the ZW chromosome system used by reptiles was incapable of producing viable WW offspring , but a ( ZW ) female boa constrictor was discovered to have produced viable female offspring with WW chromosomes . Parthenogenesis has been studied extensively in the New Mexico whiptail in the genus Cnemidophorus ( also known as Aspidoscelis ) of which 15 species reproduce exclusively by parthenogenesis . These lizards live in the dry and sometimes harsh climate of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico . All these asexual species appear to have arisen through the hybridization of two or three of the sexual species in the genus leading to polyploid individuals . The mechanism by which the mixing of chromosomes from two or three species can lead to parthenogenetic reproduction is unknown . Recently , a hybrid parthenogenetic whiptail lizard was bred in the laboratory from a cross between an asexual and a sexual whiptail . Because multiple hybridization events can occur , individual parthenogenetic whiptail species can consist of multiple independent asexual lineages . Within lineages , there is very little genetic diversity , but different lineages may have quite different genotypes . An interesting aspect to reproduction in these asexual lizards is that mating behaviors are still seen , although the populations are all female . One female plays the role played by the male in closely related species , and mounts the female that is about to lay eggs . This behaviour is due to the hormonal cycles of the females , which cause them to behave like males shortly after laying eggs , when levels of progesterone are high , and to take the female role in mating before laying eggs , when estrogen dominates . Lizards who act out the courtship ritual have greater fecundity than those kept in isolation , due to the increase in hormones that accompanies the mounting . So , although the populations lack males , they still require sexual behavioral stimuli for maximum reproductive success . Some lizard parthenogens show a pattern of geographic parthenogenesis , occupying high mountain areas where their ancestral forms have an inferior competition ability . In Caucasian rock lizards of genus Darevskia , which have six parthenogenetic forms of hybrid origin hybrid parthenogenetic form D. `` dahli '' has a broader niche than either of its bisexual ancestors and its expansion throughout the Central Lesser Caucasus caused decline of the ranges of both its maternal and paternal species . Amphibians ( edit ) Main article : Parthenogenesis in amphibians Sharks ( edit ) Parthenogenesis in sharks has been confirmed in at least three species , the bonnethead , the blacktip shark , and the zebra shark , and reported in others . A bonnethead , a type of small hammerhead shark , was found to have produced a pup , born live on 14 December 2001 at Henry Doorly Zoo in Nebraska , in a tank containing three female hammerheads , but no males . The pup was thought to have been conceived through parthenogenic means . The shark pup was apparently killed by a stingray within days of birth . The investigation of the birth was conducted by the research team from Queen 's University Belfast , Southeastern University in Florida , and Henry Doorly Zoo itself , and it was concluded after DNA testing that the reproduction was parthenogenic . The testing showed the female pup 's DNA matched only one female who lived in the tank , and that no male DNA was present in the pup . The pup was not a twin or clone of her mother , but rather , contained only half of her mother 's DNA ( `` automictic parthenogenesis '' ) . This type of reproduction had been seen before in bony fish , but never in cartilaginous fish such as sharks , until this documentation . In the same year , a female Atlantic blacktip shark in Virginia reproduced via parthenogenesis . On 10 October 2008 scientists confirmed the second case of a virgin birth in a shark . The Journal of Fish Biology reported a study in which scientists said DNA testing proved that a pup carried by a female Atlantic blacktip shark in the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center contained no genetic material from a male . In 2002 , two white - spotted bamboo sharks were born at the Belle Isle Aquarium in Detroit . They hatched 15 weeks after being laid . The births baffled experts as the mother shared an aquarium with only one other shark , which was female . The female bamboo sharks had laid eggs in the past . This is not unexpected , as many animals will lay eggs even if there is not a male to fertilize them . Normally , the eggs are assumed to be inviable and are discarded . This batch of eggs was left undisturbed by the curator as he had heard about the previous birth in 2001 in Nebraska and wanted to observe whether they would hatch . Other possibilities had been considered for the birth of the Detroit bamboo sharks including thoughts that the sharks had been fertilized by a male and stored the sperm for a period of time , as well as the possibility that the Belle Isle bamboo shark is a hermaphrodite , harboring both male and female sex organs , and capable of fertilizing its own eggs , but that is not confirmed . In 2008 , a Hungarian aquarium had another case of parthenogenesis after its lone female shark produced a pup without ever having come into contact with a male shark . The repercussions of parthenogenesis in sharks , which fails to increase the genetic diversity of the offspring , is a matter of concern for shark experts , taking into consideration conservation management strategies for this species , particularly in areas where there may be a shortage of males due to fishing or environmental pressures . Although parthenogenesis may help females who can not find mates , it does reduce genetic diversity . In 2011 , recurring shark parthenogenesis over several years was demonstrated in a captive zebra shark , a type of carpet shark . DNA genotyping demonstrated that individual zebra sharks can switch from sexual to parthenogenetic reproduction . Birds ( edit ) Parthenogenesis in birds is known mainly from studies of domesticated turkeys and chickens , although it has also been noted in the domestic pigeon . In most cases the egg fails to develop normally or completely to hatching . The first description of parthenogenetic development in a passerine was demonstrated in captive zebra finches , although the dividing cells exhibited irregular nuclei and the eggs did not hatch . Parthenogenesis in turkeys appears to result from a conversion of haploid cells to diploid ; most embryos produced in this way die early in development . Rarely , viable birds result from this process , and the rate at which this occurs in turkeys can be increased by selective breeding , however male turkeys produced from parthenogenesis exhibit smaller testes and reduced fertility . Mammals ( edit ) There are no known cases of naturally occurring mammalian parthenogenesis in the wild . Parthenogenetic progeny of mammals would have two X chromosomes , and would therefore be female . In 1936 , Gregory Goodwin Pincus reported successfully inducing parthenogenesis in a rabbit . Helen Spurway , a geneticist specializing in the reproductive biology of the guppy , Lebistes reticulatus , claimed , in 1955 , that parthenogenesis , which occurs in the guppy in nature , may also occur ( though very rarely ) in the human species , leading to so - called `` virgin births . '' This created some sensation among her colleagues and the lay public alike . In April 2004 , scientists at Tokyo University of Agriculture used parthenogenesis successfully to create a fatherless mouse . Using gene targeting , they were able to manipulate two imprinted loci H19 / IGF2 and DLK1 / MEG3 to produce bi-maternal mice at high frequency and subsequently show that fatherless mice have enhanced longevity . Induced parthenogenesis in mice and monkeys often results in abnormal development . This is because mammals have imprinted genetic regions , where either the maternal or the paternal chromosome is inactivated in the offspring in order for development to proceed normally . A mammal created by parthenogenesis would have double doses of maternally imprinted genes and lack paternally imprinted genes , leading to developmental abnormalities . It has been suggested that defects in placental folding or interdigitation are one cause of swine parthenote abortive development . As a consequence , research on human parthenogenesis is focused on the production of embryonic stem cells for use in medical treatment , not as a reproductive strategy . Use of an electrical or chemical stimulus can produce the beginning of the process of parthenogenesis in the asexual development of viable offspring . Induction of parthenogenesis in swine . Parthenogenetic development of swine oocytes . High metaphase promoting factor ( MPF ) activity causes mammalian oocytes to arrest at the metaphase II stage until fertilization by a sperm . The fertilization event causes intracellular calcium oscillations , and targeted degradation of cyclin B , a regulatory subunit of MPF , thus permitting the MII - arrested oocyte to proceed through meiosis . To initiate parthenogenesis of swine oocytes , various methods exist to induce an artificial activation that mimics sperm entry , such as calcium ionophore treatment , microinjection of calcium ions , or electrical stimulation . Treatment with cycloheximide , a non-specific protein synthesis inhibitor , enhances parthenote development in swine presumably by continual inhibition of MPF / cyclin B. As meiosis proceeds , extrusion of the second polar is blocked by exposure to cytochalasin B . This treatment results in a diploid ( 2 maternal genomes ) parthenote . Parthenotes can be surgically transferred to a recipient oviduct for further development , but will succumb by developmental failure after ≈ 30 days of gestation . The swine parthenote placentae often appears hypo - vascular and is approximately 50 % smaller than biparental offspring placentae : see free image ( Figure 1 ) in linked reference .

The swine parthenote placentae often appears hypo - vascular : see free image ( Figure 1 ) in linked reference . Humans ( edit ) On June 26 , 2007 , International Stem Cell Corporation ( ISCC ) , a California - based stem cell research company , announced that their lead scientist , Dr. Elena Revazova , and her research team were the first to intentionally create human stem cells from unfertilized human eggs using parthenogenesis . The process may offer a way for creating stem cells that are genetically matched to a particular female for the treatment of degenerative diseases that might affect her . In December 2007 , Dr. Revazova and ISCC published an article illustrating a breakthrough in the use of parthenogenesis to produce human stem cells that are homozygous in the HLA region of DNA . These stem cells are called HLA homozygous parthenogenetic human stem cells ( hpSC - Hhom ) and have unique characteristics that would allow derivatives of these cells to be implanted into millions of people without immune rejection . With proper selection of oocyte donors according to HLA haplotype , it is possible to generate a bank of cell lines whose tissue derivatives , collectively , could be MHC - matched with a significant number of individuals within the human population . On August 2 , 2007 , after much independent investigation , it was revealed that discredited South Korean scientist Hwang Woo - Suk unknowingly produced the first human embryos resulting from parthenogenesis . Initially , Hwang claimed he and his team had extracted stem cells from cloned human embryos , a result later found to be fabricated . Further examination of the chromosomes of these cells show indicators of parthenogenesis in those extracted stem cells , similar to those found in the mice created by Tokyo scientists in 2004 . Although Hwang deceived the world about being the first to create artificially cloned human embryos , he did contribute a major breakthrough to stem cell research by creating human embryos using parthenogenesis . The truth was discovered in 2007 , long after the embryos were created by him and his team in February 2004 . This made Hwang the first , unknowingly , to successfully perform the process of parthenogenesis to create a human embryon and , ultimately , a human parthenogenetic stem cell line . Oomycetes ( edit ) Apomixis can apparently occur in Phytophthora , an oomycete . Oospores from an experimental cross were germinated , and some of the progeny were genetically identical to one or other parent , implying that meiosis did not occur and the oospores developed by parthenogenesis . Similar phenomena ( edit ) Gynogenesis ( edit ) See also : Parthenogenesis in amphibians § Gynogenesis A form of asexual reproduction related to parthenogenesis is gynogenesis . Here , offspring are produced by the same mechanism as in parthenogenesis , but with the requirement that the egg merely be stimulated by the presence of sperm in order to develop . However , the sperm cell does not contribute any genetic material to the offspring . Since gynogenetic species are all female , activation of their eggs requires mating with males of a closely related species for the needed stimulus . Some salamanders of the genus Ambystoma are gynogenetic and appear to have been so for over a million years . It is believed that the success of those salamanders may be due to rare fertilization of eggs by males , introducing new material to the gene pool , which may result from perhaps only one mating out of a million . In addition , the amazon molly is known to reproduce by gynogenesis . Hybridogenesis ( edit ) See also : Hybridogenesis in water frogs Hybridogenesis is a mode of reproduction of hybrids . Hybridogenetic hybrids ( for example AB genome ) , usually females , during gametogenesis exclude one of parental genomes ( A ) and produce gametes with unrecombined genome of second parental species ( B ) , instead of containing mixed recombined parental genomes . First genome ( A ) is restored by fertilization of these gametes with gametes from the first species ( AA , sexual host , usually male ) . So hybridogenesis is not completely asexual , but instead hemiclonal : half of genome is passed to the next generation clonally , unrecombined , intact ( B ) , other half sexually , recombined ( A ) . This process continues , so that each generation is half ( or hemi - ) clonal on the mother 's side and has half new genetic material from the father 's side . This form of reproduction is seen in some live - bearing fish of the genus Poeciliopsis as well as in some of the Pelophylax spp . ( `` green frogs '' or `` waterfrogs '' ) : P. kl . esculentus ( edible frog ) : P. lessonae × P. ridibundus , P. kl . grafi ( Graf 's hybrid frog ) : P. perezi × P. ridibundus P. kl . hispanicus ( Italian edible frog ) -- unknown origin : P. bergeri × P. ridibundus or P. kl . esculentus and perhaps in P. demarchii . Example crosses between pool frog ( Pelophylax lessonae ) , marsh frog ( P. ridibundus ) and their hybrid -- edible frog ( P. kl . esculentus ) . First one is the primary hybridisation generating hybrid , second one is most widespread type of hybridogenesis . Other examples where hybridogenesis is at least one of modes of reproduction include i.e. Iberian minnow Tropidophoxinellus alburnoides ( Squalius pyrenaicus × hypothetical ancestor related with Anaecypris hispanica ) spined loaches Cobitis hankugensis × C. longicorpus Bacillus stick insects B. rossius × Bacillus grandii benazzii See also ( edit ) Apomixis for a similar process in plants Arrhenotoky Miraculous births Parthenocarpy plants with seedless fruit Thelytoky People Charles Bonnet conducted a series of experiments establishing what is now termed parthenogenesis in aphides or tree - lice Jacques Loeb was able to cause the eggs of sea urchins to begin embryonic development without sperm Gregory Goodwin Pincus experimented with parthenogenesis References ( edit ) Jump up ^ `` parthenogenesis '' .

See media help . `` Walk This Way '' is a song by the American hard - rock band Aerosmith . Written by Steven Tyler and Joe Perry , the song was originally released as the second single from the album Toys in the Attic ( 1975 ) . It peaked at number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1977 , part of a string of successful hit singles for the band in the 1970s . In addition to being one of the songs that helped break Aerosmith into the mainstream in the 1970s , it also helped revitalize their career in the 1980s when it was covered by rappers Run -- D.M.C. on their 1986 album Raising Hell . This cover was a touchstone for the new musical subgenre of rap rock , or the melding of rock and hip hop . It became an international hit and won both groups a Soul Train Music Award for Best Rap -- Single in 1987 .

The song proceeds with the main riff made famous by Perry and Brad Whitford on guitar with Tom Hamilton on bass . The song continues with rapid fire lyrics by Steven Tyler . Lyrics ( edit ) In December 1974 , Aerosmith opened for The Guess Who in Honolulu . During the sound check , guitarist Joe Perry was `` fooling around with riffs and thinking about The Meters , '' a group guitarist Jeff Beck had turned him on to . Loving `` their riffy New Orleans funk , especially ' Cissy Strut ' and ' People Say ' '' , he asked the drummer `` to lay down something flat with a groove on the drums . '' The guitar riff to what would become `` Walk This Way '' just `` came off ( his ) hands . '' Needing a bridge , he played another riff and went there . But I did n't want the song to have a typical , boring 1 , 4 , 5 chord progression . After playing the first riff in the key of C , I shifted to E before returning to C for the verse and chorus . By the end of the sound check , I had the basics of a song . When bandmate Steven Tyler heard Perry playing that riff he `` ran out and sat behind the drums and ( they ) jammed . '' Tyler scatted `` nonsensical words initially to feel where the lyrics should go before adding them later . '' When the group was halfway through recording Toys in the Attic in early 1975 at Record Plant in New York City , they found themselves stuck for material . They had written three or four songs for the album , having `` to write the rest in the studio . '' They decided to give the song Perry had come up with in Hawaii a try , but it did not have lyrics or a title yet . Deciding to take a break from recording , band members and producer Jack ( Douglas ) went down to Times Square to see Mel Brooks ' Young Frankenstein . Returning to the studio , they were laughing about Marty Feldman telling Gene Wilder to follow him in the film , saying `` walk this way '' and limping . Douglas suggested this as a title for their song . But they still needed lyrics . At the hotel that night Tyler wrote lyrics for the song , but left them in the cab on the way to the studio next morning . He says : `` I must have been stoned . All the blood drained out of my face , but no one believed me . They thought I never got around to writing them . '' Upset , he took a cassette tape with the instrumental track we had recorded and a portable tape player with headphones and `` disappeared into the stairwell . '' He `` grabbed a few No. 2 pencils '' but forgot to take paper . He wrote the lyrics on the wall at `` the Record Plant 's top floor and then down a few stairs of the back stairway . '' After `` two or three hours '' he `` ran downstairs for a legal pad and ran back up and copied them down . '' Perry thought the `` lyrics were so great , '' noting Tyler , being a drummer , `` likes to use words as a percussion element . '' He says : The words have to tell a story , but for Steven they also have to have a bouncy feel for flow . Then he searches for words that have a double entendre , which comes out of the blues tradition . Perry always liked to wait until Tyler recorded his vocal so he `` could weave around his vocal attack , '' but Tyler wanted Perry to record first for the same reason . After a `` tug - of - war '' , Tyler 's vocal was recorded first with Perry 's guitar track overdubbed . The lyrics , which tell the story of a high school boy losing his virginity , are sung quite fast by Tyler , with heavy emphasis being placed on the rhyming lyrics ( e.g. , `` so I took a big chance at the high school dance '' ) . Between the elaborately detailed verses , the chorus primarily consists of a repetition of `` Walk this way , talk this way '' . Live in concert , Tyler often has the audience , combined with members of the band , sing `` talk this way '' . There is also a lengthy guitar solo at the end of the song , and in concert , Tyler will often harmonize his voice to mimic the sounds of the guitar . Chart performance ( edit ) Chart ( 1977 ) Peak position Canadian RPM Top Singles 7 US Billboard Hot 100 10 Year - end charts ( edit ) Chart ( 1977 ) Position US Billboard Hot 100 90 Legacy ( edit ) `` Walk This Way '' was one of two hit singles by the band to hit the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 in the 1970s , the other one being a re-release of `` Dream On '' . `` Walk This Way '' , though , helped Toys in the Attic to be the bestselling Aerosmith album , and one of the most critically acclaimed . Aerosmith 's version of `` Walk This Way '' often competes with `` Sweet Emotion '' and `` Dream On '' for the title of Aerosmith 's signature song , being one of the band 's most important , influential , and recognizable songs . The band rarely omits it from their concert setlist , still performing their classic version of the song to this day . The song has also long been a staple of rock radio , garnering regular airplay on mainstream rock , classic rock , and album - oriented rock radio stations . In 2009 , it was named the eighth greatest hard rock song of all time by VH1 . Fee Waybill , Steve Lukather , Tim Bogert and Tommy Aldridge covered the song for the Aerosmith tribute album Not the Same Old Song and Dance ( Eagle Records , 1999 ) . Aerosmith reference lyrics from the song in `` Legendary Child '' . The line `` I took a chance at the high school dance never knowing wrong from right '' references lyrics from the songs `` Walk This Way '' and `` Adam 's Apple '' respectively . Both songs first appeared on the album Toys in the Attic . Run -- D.M.C. Version ( edit ) `` Walk This Way '' Single by Run -- D.M.C. from the album Raising Hell Released July 4 , 1986 Format Record Recorded 1985 Genre Rap rock , hard rock Length 5 : 17 ( album version ) 3 : 38 ( single version ) Label Profile Geffen Producer ( s ) Russell Simmons Rick Rubin Run - D.M.C. singles chronology `` My Adidas '' ( 1986 ) My Adidas 1986 `` Walk This Way '' ( 1986 ) Walk This Way1986 `` You Be Illin ' '' ( 1986 ) You Be Illin'1986 Music video `` Walk This Way '' on YouTube `` Walk This Way '' Run -- D.M.C. 's `` Walk This Way '' from Raising Hell Problems playing this file ? See media help . In 1986 , the hip hop group Run -- D.M.C. performed a cover of `` Walk This Way '' with Steven Tyler and Joe Perry guesting on vocals and guitars . While working on Raising Hell , Rick Rubin pulled out Toys in the Attic ( an album they freestyled over ) and explained who Aerosmith were . They had performed with this song before , but only using first few seconds of the song on a loop , not knowing what the full song sounded like , or even hearing the lyrics . While Joseph Simmons and Darryl McDaniels had no idea who Aerosmith were at that time , Rubin suggested remaking the song . Neither Simmons nor McDaniels liked the idea , though Jam Master Jay was open to it . They did n't want the record to be released as a single even after recording with Aerosmith and were shocked when it was played all over the radio , on the hip hop and rock stations . Later , however , Run -- D.M.C. covered the song . D.M.C. called it `` a beautiful thing '' in a trailer for Guitar Hero . The 1986 version of the song is often credited as helping break hip hop music into mainstream pop music as it was the first hip hop song to hit the top 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 , and the remake demonstrated how elements of hip hop music can be part of rock and pop songs , harking back to the DJing of Afrika Bambaataa , who would mix in tracks by the likes of the Beatles , the Rolling Stones and Grand Funk Railroad among the more usual funk breaks . It also briefly samples the opening drum intro of the original in a middle section of the song . This version of `` Walk This Way '' charted higher on the Billboard Hot 100 than the original version , peaking at number 4 . It was also one of the first big hip hop singles in the UK , reaching a peak of number 8 there . The landmark collaboration catapulted Run -- D.M.C. into mainstream stardom and would influence hip hop music for years to come . The song paved the way for other pop acts to introduce elements of hip hop into their music . It pioneered the trend of rhymed / sung collaborations that is so present on American Radio from the late 1990s and 2000s to the present . The collaboration also introduced a fusion of rock and hip hop , later known as rap rock , to a wide audience for the first time . The song also marked a major comeback for Aerosmith , as they had been largely out of mainstream pop culture for several years while members were battling drug and alcohol addiction along with key members having left the band . Their 1985 comeback album , Done with Mirrors , had also flopped . Aerosmith followed up `` Walk This Way '' with a string of multi-platinum albums and Top 40 hits , starting with the album Permanent Vacation and single `` Dude ( Looks Like a Lady ) '' in 1987 . In 2008 , `` Walk This Way '' was ranked number 4 on VH1 's `` 100 Greatest Songs of Hip Hop '' . This version of the song is currently ranked as the 110th greatest song of all time , as well as the second best song of 1986 , by Acclaimed Music . The chorus of Run -- D.M.C. 's cover contains a pitch alternation that Aerosmith themselves adapted in most future live performances . In collaborations , the other singer often says `` talk this way '' every alternate line of the chorus . This rap - style delivery may explain why the song worked so well as a hip hop song when it was covered eleven years later . In the Run -- D.M.C. cover , a turntable and drum machine are added in to reflect the additional hip hop influence on the record . Both the original Aerosmith version and the Run -- D.M.C. cover ( featuring Tyler and Perry ) appear on various Aerosmith compilations as well as Run - D.M.C. albums . The song is featured on the video game series Just Dance 2015 . Music video ( edit ) The 1986 music video for `` Walk This Way '' symbolically placed a rock band and Run -- D.M.C. in a musical duel in neighboring studios before Steven Tyler literally breaks through the wall that separates them . The video then segues to the bands ' joint performance on stage . The highly popular video was the first hip hop hybrid video ever played in heavy rotation on MTV and is regarded as a classic of the medium . The video was directed by Jon Small and filmed at the Park Theater in Union City , New Jersey . The theater has remained largely unchanged since the video was filmed . Visitors may notice two holes in the ceiling toward the front of the stage where a light fixture was meant to be installed for the shoot . Aside from Tyler and Perry , none of the other rock musicians in the video are the Aerosmith members ; instead , they were played by Roger Lane , J.D. Malo , and Matt Stelutto -- respectively rhythm guitarist , bassist , and drummer of the largely unknown hair metal outfit Smashed Gladys . According to VH1 's Pop Up Video , Run -- D.M.C. could not afford to use the entire Aerosmith band , just Tyler and Perry . As only Tyler and Perry had traveled to record the cover with Run -- D.M.C. , they were the only real Aerosmith members to appear in the video . The guitar that Perry is playing is a Guild X-100 Bladerunner . The Guild X100 Bladerunner was originally developed and patented by David Newell and Andrew Desrosiers of David Andrew Guitars . The patent was licensed to Guild Guitars for 17 years and reverted to public domain in 2006 . During initial manufacture , Newell and Desrosiers worked directly with Guild craftsman to develop the final product . The guitar used in this video was one of these early issues .

( as separate acts ) opened for Aerosmith on the first leg of the Girls of Summer Tour . Each night , at the end of Aerosmith 's set , Kid Rock and Run -- D.M.C. would join Aerosmith for an encore collaborative performance of `` Walk This Way '' . At the Super Bowl XXXV halftime show in January 2001 , performers * NSYNC , Britney Spears , Mary J. Blige , and Nelly joined Aerosmith onstage for an encore performance of `` Walk This Way '' with Spears and members of * NSYNC singing different parts of the second verse , Blige adding background harmony , and Nelly performing a rap towards the end of the song . At the Hyde Park Calling festival in London on June 24 , 2007 ( a date on Aerosmith 's 2007 world tour ) , DMC joined Aerosmith on stage for their encore performance of `` Walk This Way '' . Also , Fergie joined Aerosmith once on television to duet with Tyler to sing `` Walk This Way '' . Both the Run -- D.M.C. version and the original version of the song are featured in Guitar Hero : Aerosmith . The Run - DMC version appeared in dance video games Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 3 and Just Dance 2015 . Tyler has also performed the song with Carrie Underwood on two occasions . On their 2015 Wheels Up Tour , country pop trio Lady Antebellum and their special guests Hunter Hayes and Sam Hunt performed the song .

No No No ... 2007 Music video `` Walk This Way '' on YouTube In 2007 , British girl groups Girls Aloud and Sugababes recorded a cover of `` Walk This Way '' as the official Comic Relief charity single . Their version was produced by American producer Dallas Austin , making it Girls Aloud 's first single not to be produced by Xenomania . The track charted at number one on the UK Singles Chart , giving Girls Aloud their third number 1 and Sugababes their fifth . The music video was a comic re-enactment of the Run -- D.M.C. video . `` Walk This Way '' was promoted through numerous live appearances and has been included on tours by both Girls Aloud and Sugababes . Contemporary music critics criticised the cover version , but supported the single due to its fundraising nature . While the Run -- D.M.C. cover is nearly identical to the original version , the Girls Aloud / Sugababes version has a few changes tweaked into the song ; the additional line `` Walk this way , you wan na talk this way '' is added , the vocoder is added , the rap breakdown , the lyrics are moved around , and the beat is slightly sped up and realized on a drum machine to add a further dance - pop feel to the song . Background and release ( edit ) The idea of a Girls Aloud and Sugababes collaboration came from Comic Relief co-founder and trustee Richard Curtis . Several songs were possibilities , including Blur 's `` Girls & Boys '' and Candi Staton 's `` You Got the Love '' , which was Girls Aloud member Nicola Roberts ' idea and favourite choice . `` Walk This Way '' is notably the first Girls Aloud single to date not to feature production from Brian Higgins and Xenomania , who have also worked with Sugababes . Girls Aloud and Sugababes launched the charity appeal on January 31 . Kimberley Walsh of Girls Aloud said , `` It 's a fantastic song and hopefully will raise tons of money for people living in really difficult situations here and in Africa . '' It was also available as a digital download . Chart performance ( edit ) `` Walk This Way '' entered the UK Singles Chart at number 1 on March 18 , 2007 ― for the week ending date March 24 , 2007 . The following week , the single dropped to number 2 ; it was dethroned by another Comic Relief single , `` I 'm Gonna Roll ( 500 Miles ) '' by The Proclaimers with Peter Kay and Matt Lucas . In its third week on the chart , `` Walk This Way '' dropped twelve places out of the top ten , placing itself at number 14 . The song also charted at number 8 on the Billboard European Hot 100 Singles chart . Music video ( edit ) The music video premiered on The Box on February 2 , 2007 , and was shown on Channel 4 's Popworld the following day . The video was filmed over three days in January 2007 -- Sugababes on the first , Cheryl Cole , Nicola Roberts , and Kimberley Walsh on the second , and Nadine Coyle and Sarah Harding on the third and final day . Live performances ( edit ) `` Walk This Way '' was performed by Girls Aloud and Sugababes for the first time on Comic Relief Does Fame Academy on March 10 , 2007 . They performed the song on Comic Relief 's Red Nose Day 2007 telethon on March 16 . Girls Aloud performed `` Walk This Way '' without Sugababes on 2007 's The Sound of Girls Aloud : The Greatest Hits Tour . The following year , they performed the song in a medley with `` Wake Me Up '' on the Tangled Up Tour . Sugababes performed `` Walk This Way '' without Girls Aloud on 2007 's Overloaded : The Singles Tour .

what song did aerosmith have a hit with twice
[ "\"Walk This Way\" is a song by the American hard-rock band Aerosmith. Written by Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, the song was originally released as the second single from the album Toys in the Attic (1975). It peaked at number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1977, part of a string of successful hit singles for the band in the 1970s. In addition to being one of the songs that helped break Aerosmith into the mainstream in the 1970s, it also helped revitalize their career in the 1980s when it was covered by rappers Run–D.M.C. on their 1986 album Raising Hell. This cover was a touchstone for the new musical subgenre of rap rock, or the melding of rock and hip hop. It became an international hit and won both groups a Soul Train Music Award for Best Rap – Single in 1987." ]

They are members of the Metropolitan Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League ( NHL ) . The Capitals are owned by Monumental Sports & Entertainment , headed by Ted Leonsis . From 1974 to 1997 the Capitals played their home games at the Capital Centre , in Landover , Maryland ( a suburb of Washington , D.C. ) . In 1997 the team moved to the arena now called Capital One Arena , their present home arena in Washington , D.C. The Capitals were founded in 1974 as an expansion franchise , alongside the Kansas City Scouts . Since purchasing the team in 1999 , Leonsis revitalized the franchise by drafting star players such as Alexander Ovechkin , Nicklas Backstrom , Mike Green and Braden Holtby . The 2009 -- 10 Capitals won the franchise 's first - ever Presidents ' Trophy for being the team with the most points at the end of the regular season . They won it a second time in 2015 -- 16 , and did so for a third time the following season in 2016 -- 17 . In addition to eleven division titles and three Presidents ' Trophies , the Capitals have reached the Stanley Cup Finals twice ( in 1998 and 2018 ) , winning in 2018 . The Capitals have retired the use of four numbers in honour of four players . In addition , the team holds an association with a number of individuals inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame . The Capitals are presently affiliated with two minor league teams , the Hershey Bears of the American Hockey League , and the South Carolina Stingrays of the ECHL .

The team was owned by Abe Pollin ( also owner of the National Basketball Association 's Washington Bullets / Wizards until his death on November 24 , 2009 ) . Pollin had built the Capital Centre in suburban Landover , Maryland , to house both the Bullets ( who formerly played in Baltimore ) and the Capitals . His first act as owner was to hire Hall of Famer Milt Schmidt as general manager . With a combined 30 teams between the NHL and the World Hockey Association ( WHA ) , the available talent was stretched thin . The Capitals had few players with professional experience and were at a disadvantage against the long - standing teams that were stocked with veteran players . Like the other three teams who joined the league during the WHA era -- the Scouts ( later the Colorado Rockies and now the New Jersey Devils ) , Atlanta Flames ( now playing in Calgary ) , and New York Islanders -- the Capitals did not factor the survival of the rival league into their plans . Capitals left - wing Errol Rausse chasing Boston Bruins defenseman Ray Bourque in 1979 . The Capitals ' inaugural season was dreadful , even by expansion standards . They finished with far and away the worst record in the league at 8 -- 67 -- 5 . Their 21 points were half that of their expansion brethren , the Scouts . The eight wins are the fewest for an NHL team playing at least 70 games , and the . 131 winning percentage is still the worst in NHL history . They also set records for most road losses ( 39 out of 40 ) , most consecutive road losses ( 37 ) , and most consecutive losses ( 17 ) . Head coach Jim Anderson said , `` I 'd rather find out my wife was cheating on me than keep losing like this . At least I could tell my wife to cut it out . '' Schmidt himself had to take over the coaching reins late in the season . In 1975 -- 76 , Washington went 25 - straight games without a win and allowed 394 goals en route to another horrendous record : 11 -- 59 -- 10 ( 32 points ) . During the middle of the season , Max McNab was hired as the team 's general manager , and Tom McVie was hired as head coach to replace Schmidt . For the rest of the 1970s and early 1980s , the Capitals alternated between dreadful seasons and finishing only a few points out of the Stanley Cup playoffs . In 1980 and 1981 , for instance , they were in playoff contention until the last day of the season . The one bright spot during these years of futility was that many of McNab 's draft picks ( e.g. Rick Green , Ryan Walter , Mike Gartner , Bengt Gustafsson , Gaetan Duchesne and Bobby Carpenter ) would impact the team for years to come , whether as important members of the roster or crucial pieces to major trades . Pollin stuck it out through the Capitals ' first decade , even though they were usually barely competitive . This stood in contrast to the Capitals ' expansion brethren , the Scouts ; they were forced to move to Denver after only two years because their original owners did not have the resources or patience to withstand the struggles of an expansion team . By the summer of 1982 , however , there was serious talk of the team moving out of the U.S. capital , and a `` Save the Caps '' campaign was underway . Then two significant events took place to revive the franchise . Playoffs and Eastern Conference champion ( 1982 -- 1998 ) First , the team hired David Poile as general manager . Second , as his first move , Poile pulled off one of the largest trades in franchise history on September 9 , 1982 , when he dealt longtime regulars Ryan Walter and Rick Green to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for Rod Langway ( named captain only a few weeks later ) , Brian Engblom , Doug Jarvis and Craig Laughlin . This move turned the franchise around , as Langway 's solid defense helped the team to dramatically reduce its goals - against , and the explosive goal - scoring of Dennis Maruk , Mike Gartner and Bobby Carpenter fueled the offensive attack . Another significant move was the drafting of defenseman Scott Stevens during the 1982 NHL Entry Draft ( the pick was made by interim general manager Roger Crozier , prior to Poile 's hiring ) . The result was a 29 - point jump , a third - place finish in the powerful Patrick Division , and the team 's first playoff appearance in 1983 . Although they were eliminated by the three - time - defending ( and eventual ) Stanley Cup champion New York Islanders ( three games to one ) , the Caps ' dramatic turnaround ended any talk of the club leaving Washington . Fourteen - consecutive playoff appearances ( 1983 -- 96 ) Drafted in 1978 , Mike Gartner helped the Capitals become a playoff contender in the 1980s . The Capitals would make the playoffs for each of the next 14 years in a row . They became known for starting slow before catching fire in January and February . However , regular - season success did not carry into the playoffs . Despite a continuous march of stars like Gartner , Carpenter , Langway , Gustafsson , Mike Ridley , Dave Christian , Dino Ciccarelli , Larry Murphy and Kevin Hatcher , Washington was knocked out in either the first or second round eight years in a row . In 1985 -- 86 , for instance , the Caps finished with 107 points and won 50 games for the first time in franchise history , good enough for the third - best record in the NHL . They defeated the Islanders in the first round but were eliminated in the second round by the New York Rangers . The next season brought even more heartbreak , with a loss to the Islanders in the Patrick Division Semi-final . This series was capped off by the classic Easter Epic game , which ended at 1 : 56 am on Easter Sunday 1987 . The Capitals had thoroughly dominated most of the game , outshooting the Islanders 75 -- 52 , but lost in overtime when goaltender Bob Mason was beaten on a Pat LaFontaine shot from the blue line . For the 1989 playoff push , Gartner and defenseman Larry Murphy were traded to the Minnesota North Stars in exchange for Ciccarelli and defenseman Bob Rouse , however the goaltending once again faltered and they were eliminated in the first round by the Philadelphia Flyers . The Capitals finally made the Wales Conference Finals in 1990 , but went down in a four - game sweep at the hands of the first - place Boston Bruins . Return to playoffs and first Stanley Cup Finals appearance ( 1996 -- 98 ) From 1991 to 1996 , the Capitals would lose in either the first or the second round of the playoffs . They would eliminate the Rangers in the first round but lost the second round to the Pittsburgh Penguins in 1991 . In 1992 and 1993 , they would lose in the first round to the Penguins and the Islanders , respectively . In 1994 , they won their first round series against the Penguins but lost in the second round to the Rangers . In 1995 and 1996 , they lost in the first round both times to the Penguins . They would miss the playoffs in 1997 , but they came the close to winning their first Stanley Cup one year later . Then in 1998 , as the Caps opened MCI Center , Peter Bondra 's 52 goals led the team , veterans Dale Hunter , Joe Juneau and Adam Oates returned to old form , and Olaf Kolzig had a solid . 920 save percentage as the Caps got past the Boston Bruins , Ottawa Senators and Buffalo Sabres ( the latter on a dramatic overtime win in game six on a goal by Joe Juneau ) en route to the team 's first Stanley Cup finals appearance . The Capitals won six overtime games , three in each of their series against the Bruins and Sabres . However , the team was outmatched by the defending champions , the Detroit Red Wings , who won in a four - game sweep . That same season , Oates , Phil Housley and Hunter all scored their 1,000 th career point , the only time in NHL history that one team had three players reach that same milestone in a single season . Disappointments and rebuilding ( 1998 -- 2004 ) After their 1998 championship run , the Capitals finished the 1998 -- 99 season with a record of 31 - 45 - 6 and failed to qualify for the playoffs . During the season , the team was sold to a group headed by AOL executive Ted Leonsis . The Capitals went on to win back - to - back Southeast Division titles in 2000 and 2001 , yet both years lost in the first round of the playoffs to the Penguins . After the 2000 -- 01 season , Adam Oates demanded a trade but management refused and stripped him of his team captaincy . The Capitals moved into the Verizon Center in 1997 . In the summer of 2001 , the Capitals landed five - time Art Ross Trophy winner Jaromir Jagr , by trading three young prospects to the Pittsburgh Penguins . Jagr was signed to the largest contract ever in NHL history -- $77 million over seven years at an average salary of $11 million per year ( over $134,000 per game ) , with an option for an eighth year . However , after Adam Oates was traded to the Philadelphia Flyers , the Capitals failed to defend their division title and missed the playoffs in 2002 despite a winning record . Still , the 2001 -- 02 season marked the highest attendance in franchise history , drawing in 710,990 fans and 17,341 per game . Before the 2002 -- 03 season , the Caps made more roster changes , including the signing of highly regarded Robert Lang as a free agent , a linemate of Jagr 's from Pittsburgh . Washington returned to the playoffs in 2003 , but disappointed fans again by losing in six games to the Tampa Bay Lightning after starting off with a two - game lead in the best - of - seven first - round series . The series is well - remembered for the three - overtime Game 6 at the then -- MCI Center . At the time it was the longest game in the building 's history and was eventually decided by a power - play goal by Tampa Bay . In the 2003 -- 04 season , the Caps unloaded much of their high - priced talent -- not just a cost - cutting spree , but also an acknowledgment that their attempt to build a contender with high - priced veteran talent had failed . Jagr had never lived up to expectations during his time with the Capitals , failing to finish among the league 's top scorers or make the post-season All - Star Team . The Caps tried to trade Jagr , but as only one year was left on the existing NHL Collective Bargaining Agreement ( CBA ) before it expired , few teams were willing to risk $11 million on an underperforming player . In 2004 , Jagr was finally sent to the New York Rangers in exchange for Anson Carter and an agreement that Washington would pay approximately $4 million per year of Jagr 's salary , with Jagr himself agreeing to defer ( with interest ) $1 million per year for the remainder of his contract to allow the trade to go ahead . This was quickly followed by Peter Bondra departing for the Ottawa Senators . Not long after , Robert Lang was sent to the Detroit Red Wings , as well as Sergei Gonchar to the Boston Bruins . The Lang trade marked the first time in the history of the NHL that the league 's leading scorer was traded in the middle of the season . The Capitals ended the year 23 -- 46 -- 10 -- 3 , tied for the second - worst record , along with the Chicago Blackhawks . Alexander Ovechkin era ( 2004 -- present ) Dainius Zubrus had a career year with the Capitals during the 2005 -- 06 season , recording 57 points . In the 2004 NHL Entry Draft , the Capitals won the Draft Lottery , moving ahead of the Pittsburgh Penguins , who held the NHL 's worst record , and selected Alexander Ovechkin first overall . During the NHL labor dispute of 2004 -- 05 , which cost the NHL its entire season , Ovechkin stayed in Russia , playing for Dynamo Moscow . Several other Capitals played part or all of the lost season in Europe , including Olaf Kolzig , Brendan Witt , Jeff Halpern , and Alexander Semin . The Capitals ' 2005 off - season consisted of making D.C. - area native Halpern the team 's captain , signing Andrew Cassels , Ben Clymer , Mathieu Biron and Jamie Heward , and acquiring Chris Clark and Jeff Friesen via trade . Building a contender ( 2005 -- 08 ) The Capitals finished the 2005 -- 06 season in the cellar of the Southeastern Division again , with a 29 -- 41 -- 12 campaign , earning 12 more points than the 2003 -- 04 season , good for 27th out of the 30 NHL teams . The team , however , played close in every game , playing in 42 one - goal games , although losing two - thirds of those games . Ovechkin 's rookie season exceeded the hype , as he led all 2005 -- 06 NHL rookies in goals , points , power - play goals and shots . He finished third overall in the NHL in scoring and tied for third in goals , and his 425 shots not only led the league , but also set an NHL rookie record and was the fourth - highest total in NHL history . Ovechkin 's rookie point total was the second - best in Capitals history , and his goal total was tied for third in franchise history . Ovechkin won the Calder Memorial Trophy , beating out Pittsburgh center Sidney Crosby and Calgary Flames defenseman Dion Phaneuf . Many longtime Capitals had career years , with Dainius Zubrus netting 57 points , Halpern having a career - best 33 assists , Matt Pettinger putting in a career - best 20 - goal , 38 - point effort and seven others on the relatively young team topping 20 points for the first time . Two notable landmarks were also hit by Capitals , as the team 's longest tenured player , Olaf Kolzig , won his 250th game in goal , and Andrew Cassels became the 204th player to play 1,000 games , although he did not finish his season with Washington . A notable first was that Washington area native Jeff Halpern was named captain of his hometown Capitals . At the 2006 NHL trade deadline , on March 8 , Brendan Witt was traded to the Nashville Predators . Alexander Semin had a breakout year during the 2006 -- 07 season , scoring 38 goals during his second season in the NHL . In the 2006 off - season , Halpern left the Capitals to join the Dallas Stars ; Chris Clark subsequently became the Capitals ' new captain . Richard Zedník returned to the Capitals in 2006 -- 07 after a disappointing 16 - goal , 14 - assist season in 2005 -- 06 with the Montreal Canadiens , but was later dealt at the trade deadline to the New York Islanders after a disappointing and injury plagued season . The Caps also signed former Philadelphia Flyers enforcer Donald Brashear . Despite the transactions , however , the Capitals finished with the same point total ( 70 ) in 2006 -- 2007 as they did the year before , although they won one fewer game . Alexander Ovechkin was the Capitals ' lone representative in the season 's All - Star Game , with Washington 's campaign also seeing the breakout of Alexander Semin , who notched 38 goals in only his second NHL season . The Capitals signed Swedish phenom Nicklas Backstrom , the fourth overall pick in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft , to a three - year entry - level contract . They also signed 19 - year - old Semyon Varlamov to a three - year entry - level contract . They then went on to fill needs at defense , signing puck - moving defenseman Tom Poti ; right wing , by signing Viktor Kozlov ; and center , by signing playmaker Michael Nylander . As a result of these signings , there was much more hope for the 2007 -- 08 season and players were looking towards the playoffs . Alexander Ovechkin during Capitals practice , a day after signing a 13 - year contract extension in January 2008 . After starting the season 6 -- 14 -- 1 , the Capitals fired head coach Glen Hanlon and replaced him with Hershey Bears head coach Bruce Boudreau on Thanksgiving Day , 2007 . On January 10 , 2008 , the Capitals signed Ovechkin to an NHL - record $124 million contract extension at 13 years , the second - longest term of any contract in the NHL after New York Islanders goaltender Rick DiPietro 's 15 - year contract . Despite the Capitals ' young defense and injuries to key players such as Michael Nylander and Brian Pothier , Boudreau engineered a remarkable turnaround . Aided by key acquisitions at the trade deadline ( Matt Cooke , Sergei Fedorov and Cristobal Huet ) , Ovechkin 's NHL - leading 65 goals , and Mike Green 's league defensemen - leading 18 goals , the Capitals won the Southeast Division title for the first time since the 2000 -- 01 season , edging out the Carolina Hurricanes for the Division title on the final game of the season . Washington 's remarkable end - of - season run included winning 11 of the final 12 regular season games . The Capitals became the first team in NHL history to make the playoffs after being ranked 14th or lower in their conference standings at the season 's midpoint . For the post-season , the Capitals drew the Philadelphia Flyers in the first round and managed to force a Game 7 after being down three games to one in the series . However , they ultimately lost to the Flyers 3 -- 2 in overtime . After the season concluded , Boudreau 's efforts were rewarded with a long - term contract extension . Return to playoffs and first president 's Trophy ( 2008 -- 14 ) The accolades for the team continued to grow after the end of the season . Alexander Ovechkin won the Art Ross Trophy , the Maurice `` Rocket '' Richard Trophy , the Hart Memorial Trophy and the Lester B. Pearson Award , becoming the first player in NHL history to win all four awards in the same season . He also was the first player to win an MVP award in any major sport in the Washington , D.C. , area since Joe Theismann won the National Football League ( NFL ) MVP award in 1983 . Moreover , Ovechkin was also named an NHL First Team All - Star and became the first player since 1953 to be named as such in each of his first three years in the NHL . Nicklas Backstrom was a finalist for the Calder Trophy , but ended up second to the Chicago Blackhawks ' Patrick Kane , though Backstrom was nonetheless selected to the All - Star Rookie Team . In addition to player awards , head coach Bruce Boudreau won the Jack Adams Award for the NHL 's coach of the year . Ovechkin and Mike Green were named to the Sporting News All - Star Team , with Ovechkin being the Sporting News Player of the Year . The Capitals celebrate after defeating the New York Rangers in the 2009 Stanley Cup playoffs . The 2008 -- 09 season was highlighted by the play of Mike Green ( who was the third of the Capitals ' three first - round selections in Ovechkin 's draft year ) and Ovechkin . Green led all NHL defensemen in goals and points , also setting the record for the longest consecutive goal scoring streak by a defenseman with eight games . Ovechkin won his second Hart Trophy , his second Lester B. Pearson Award and his second Maurice `` Rocket '' Richard Trophy . The Capitals finished the regular season with a record of 50 -- 24 -- 8 and a team - record 108 points , and they won their second consecutive Southeast Division championship . They then defeated the New York Rangers in the first round of the 2009 playoffs four games to three , overcoming a 3 -- 1 deficit . The Capitals were then defeated by the eventual Stanley Cup champions , the Pittsburgh Penguins , in the Eastern Conference Semi-finals in seven games . The Capitals finished the 2009 -- 10 season regular season first in the NHL with 121 points , thereby winning the Presidents ' Trophy . Ovechkin led the team in points with 109 and finished as the third - highest goal scorer , despite playing nine games fewer than the league leaders . Backstrom finished with 101 points , fourth most in the NHL . Once again , Mike Green led all defensemen in points , finishing with 76 . The Capitals also dominated the plus - minus category , finishing with five players in the top six in the league . Despite having a top - ranked regular season , Washington were defeated by the eighth - seeded Montreal Canadiens in the first round of the playoffs . The 2010 -- 11 season saw the Capitals repeat as the Southeast Division champions and as the top team in the Eastern Conference with 107 points . The season was highlighted by their participation in the 2011 NHL Winter Classic , where they defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins 3 -- 1 at Heinz Field . However , the Capitals ' playoff disappointment continued . After again defeating the New York Rangers in five games in the first round , they were swept by the Tampa Bay Lightning in the Eastern Conference Semi-finals . Joel Ward scored the overtime series - winning - goal in game seven against a heavily - favored Boston Bruins , in the 2012 playoffs . The Capitals started the 2011 -- 12 season with a record of 7 -- 0 , but they only won five of their next 15 games . As a result , general manager George McPhee fired head coach Boudreau , hiring Capitals legend Dale Hunter as his replacement . By the end of the 2011 -- 12 season , the team 's top two goaltenders , Michal Neuvirth and Tomas Vokoun , were injured and the Capitals were required to lean on their goaltending prospect Braden Holtby to help the team into the 2012 playoffs . The Capitals made a strong push and finished with the seventh overall seed in East , draining the defending champion Boston Bruins in the first round . The Capitals shocked the NHL by defeating the heavily favored Bruins in seven games on an overtime goal by Joel Ward . Every game in the series was decided by a one - goal margin ; previously , no single series in the Stanley Cup playoffs had ever gone as far as six or seven games while neither team ever held more than a one - goal lead . The Capitals then advanced to the second round to face the top - seeded New York Rangers . The series again went seven games , ending with a 2 -- 1 Rangers victory at Madison Square Garden . Following the season 's end , head coach Dale Hunter announced he would step down . Adam Oates was later named permanent head coach of the team . The lockout - shortened 2012 -- 13 season saw the Capitals off to a rocky start , as they managed just two wins in their first ten games . The team rebounded to win the Southeast Division , thereby earning the third seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs . Unfortunately for Washington , the Capitals ' playoff woes continued as they again fell to the Rangers in seven games . In the 2013 -- 14 season , the Capitals started the season winning five of their first ten games . The Capitals struggled to stay in a playoff spot and ultimately missed the playoffs for the first time since 2006 -- 07 . On April 26 , 2014 , 15 days after the regular season ended , the Capitals announced they would not renew general manager George McPhee 's contract and that they had fired head coach Adam Oates . Back - to - back Presidents ' Trophies and first Stanley Cup championship ( 2014 -- present ) The Capitals hosted the Chicago Blackhawks for the 2015 NHL Winter Classic at Nationals Park . On May 26 , 2014 , the Capitals announced the promotion of Brian MacLellan from director of player personnel to general manager and the hiring of Barry Trotz as the new head coach . In Alexander Ovechkin 's 691st NHL game on November 4 , 2014 , he became the Capitals ' all - time points leader during a game against the Calgary Flames , surpassing Peter Bondra . On January 1 , 2015 , the Washington Capitals defeated the Chicago Blackhawks 3 -- 2 in the annual NHL Winter Classic at Nationals Park in Washington , D.C. The Capitals finished in a second - place tie with the New York Islanders in the Metropolitan Division during the 2014 -- 15 season and held home ice advantage in the first - round playoff series between the two , as they had defeated the Islanders in the season series with two home wins and two road overtime losses ( in comparison , the Islanders had two home wins , one road loss and one road shootout loss ) . The teams split the first four games of the series , with the Islanders winning the first and third games , and the Capitals winning the second and fourth games . After winning Game 5 , the Capitals had a chance to clinch the series in Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum , but the Islanders won Game 6 to send the series to a deciding Game 7 in Washington , which the Capitals would go on to win and defeat the Islanders , setting up a match - up against the top - seeded Rangers in the Second Round for the third time in four years . In the second round , all seven games were decided by a one - goal margin . The Capitals and the Rangers split the first two games ( with Joel Ward scoring a game - winning buzzer beater goal for Washington in Game 1 , coupled with a loss by Washington in Game 2 ) by a 2 -- 1 margin . Braden Holtby would then post a 1 -- 0 shutout in Game 3 , with Jay Beagle scoring the game 's only goal , which was then followed by another 2 -- 1 victory in Game 4 . After Washington held a 3 -- 1 series lead , the Rangers would then cut the series lead to 3 -- 2 after scoring the game - tying goal and the game - winning overtime goal in Game 5 . The Rangers then tied the series with a 4 -- 3 victory in Game 6 to force a Game 7 at Madison Square Garden . Both teams scored a goal during regulation time in Game 7 , but the Capitals would lose the game and the series in overtime via a Derek Stepan goal . In the 2015 -- 16 season , the Capitals finished in first place in the league with a record of 56 -- 18 -- 8 and 120 points . In the first round of the playoffs , they would face the Philadelphia Flyers . The Capitals won the first three games of the series and were looking for their first sweep in the playoffs of a best - of - seven series in franchise history . However , the Flyers would win the next two games to send the series to a sixth game in Philadelphia ; the Capitals nevertheless won that series in six games to advance to the second round of the playoffs . In the second round , they faced the Pittsburgh Penguins for the first time since 2009 . After winning the first game of the series in Washington , the Capitals lost three straight games , and were in danger of elimination . Washington would stave off elimination with a win in Game 5 , but they would lose the series in six games . Ovechkin during the 2016 -- 17 season . In January 2017 , he became the 84th NHL player to reach the 1,000 - point milestone in the NHL . Ovechkin reached the 1,000 - point milestone on January 11 , 2017 with a goal against the Pittsburgh Penguins 35 seconds into the first period of that game . Ovechkin is the 84th NHL player to reach the 1,000 - point milestone , the fourth Russian - born player and the 37th player to reach the milestone while playing for one team throughout their NHL career . The Capitals won their second Presidents ' Trophy in a row , becoming just the seventh team in NHL history to win back - to - back Presidents ' Trophies . Ovechkin finished the 2016 -- 17 regular season with 33 goals , leading the Capitals in goals for the twelfth straight season . In the 2017 playoffs , the Capitals defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs in six games in the first round to set up a second consecutive showdown with the Pittsburgh Penguins in the second round . After falling behind 3 -- 1 in the series , they battled back to force a game seven at home , where they were eliminated 2 -- 0 , and lost their series 4 -- 3 . After the 2017 playoffs , the Capitals lost massive amounts of talent in the offseason , losing Kevin Shattenkirk , Karl Alzner , Justin Williams , and Daniel Winnik to free agency , and budding young defenseman Nate Schmidt to the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft . In addition , to get under the cap , the Capitals shipped Marcus Johansson to the New Jersey Devils . Despite a slow 5 - 6 - 1 start , which extended out to 10 - 9 - 1 , the Capitals caught fire in December , going 10 - 2 - 2 , and were able to clinch the Metropolitan Division for a third straight year on April 1 . They qualified for the 2018 Stanley Cup playoffs for the 10th time in 11 years . In the playoffs , the Capitals were able to come back from a 2 -- 0 series deficit against the Columbus Blue Jackets in the first round of the 2018 playoffs , winning four straight and beating the Blue Jackets in six games . They faced the Penguins again in the second round , and this time , on May 7 , 2018 , they were able to beat the Penguins in the second round with an overtime goal on the road in Game 6 by Evgeny Kuznetsov . It marked the first time in 20 seasons that the Capitals made a Conference Final and the first time in 24 seasons that they had defeated the Penguins in a playoff series . The Capitals secured a spot in the 2018 Stanley Cup Finals on May 23 after beating the Tampa Bay Lightning in seven games after a 4 - 0 rout at Amalie Arena in Tampa . The Capitals then faced the expansion Vegas Golden Knights and overcame them in five games , including 4 -- 3 in the decisive Game 5 at T - Mobile Arena after Lars Eller scored with about seven minutes to go . Not only was it the Capitals ' first Stanley Cup win , but it was also the first championship for a Washington , D.C. team in one of the four major North American sports leagues ( the NFL , the NHL , the NBA and MLB ) since the Redskins defeated the Buffalo Bills 26 years beforehand in Super Bowl XXVI . Team information Broadcasters NBC Sports Washington ( NBCSW ) has carried Capitals games locally since its founding as Home Team Sports ( HTS ) in 1984 . NBC Sports Washington was known as Comcast SportsNet Mid-Atlantic ( CSN ) from 2001 through 2017 . NBCSW 's commentators are Joe Beninati , Craig Laughlin , and Al Koken . The Capitals ' flagship radio station is WJFK - FM ( 106.7 FM ) ; commentators are John Walton and Ken Sabourin . The team 's radio network consists of stations in Washington , Virginia , Maryland , West Virginia , Pennsylvania , and North Carolina . Historical WTOP - TV ( channel 9 ) picked up television coverage for the Capitals ' first three seasons , covering 15 road games in the 1974 -- 1975 season . Legendary sportscaster Warner Wolf was the commentator for the first season , followed by a simulcast of radio coverage . The Capitals moved to longtime home WDCA ( channel 20 ) in the 1977 -- 1978 season . WDCA later split games with HTS / CSN upon its founding in 1984 . The 1991 -- 1992 season illustrates a typical arrangement : WDCA showed 20 road games and any road playoff games , while HTS picked up 34 home games and any home playoff games , leaving 28 regular - season games not televised . After 19 seasons on WDCA , the Capitals moved their over-the - air broadcasts to WBDC ( channel 50 ) for the 1995 -- 1996 season . All 82 games were televised for the first time in the 2001 -- 2002 season . The Capitals have not aired any games over-the - air locally since the end of the 2005 - 2006 season . WTOP ( 1500 AM ) was the Capitals ' first radio home through the 1986 -- 1987 season . After nine years on WMAL ( 630 AM ) , the games returned to 1500 AM for the 1996 - 1997 season . Ron Weber was the first announcer , and never missed a game through his retirement at the end of the 1996 -- 1997 season . WJFK - FM began airing postseason games during the 2008 playoffs. 1500 AM , since renamed WFED , remained the flagship station until 2012 , when WJFK took over all coverage . WFED continues to broadcast games as a network affiliate . This is primarily to take advantage of its 50,000 - watt clear - channel signal , which brings Capitals games to the entire eastern half of North America at night . Weber rejoined current announcers Walton and Sabourin for the first period of Game 4 of the 2018 Stanley Cup Final . WJFK - FM attracted controversy when it elected to drop the Capitals in the 2016 -- 2017 season , leading the Capitals to air solely on WFED . However , WFED 's signal is marginal in some portions of the Washington suburbs at night . The Washington Wizards also took priority over the Capitals on WFED in case of a conflict , leading to some games in which the only home broadcast was available via Internet streaming . The team responded to fan complaints by reaching a temporary deal in January 2017 to place the rest of its games on WWDC - HD2 , which is available metro - wide to those with HD Radios and has a low - powered analog signal that covers the city itself . The Capitals reached a deal to return to WJFK - FM for the 2017 -- 2018 season . Logos and jerseys Original logo used by the Capitals ( 1974 -- 1995 ) . The Capitals took to the ice in red , white and blue jerseys featuring contrast - colored shoulders and stars on the chest and sleeves . The team originally had red , white , and blue pants options , but retired the white pants only after a few games in their first season , and the red ones at season 's end . The blue pants would eventually become the only option used . Prior to the start of the 1995 -- 96 season , in an attempt to modernize the look and improve merchandise sales , the team abandoned its traditional red , white and blue color scheme in favor of a blue , black , and bronze palette with an American bald eagle with five stars as its logo . The alternate logo depicted the Capitol building with crossed hockey sticks behind . For the 1997 -- 98 season , the team unveiled a black alternate jersey , devoid of blue with bronze stripes on the ends of sleeves and at the waist . Prior to the 2000 -- 01 season , the team retired its blue road jersey in favor of this , but still kept the white jersey for home games . Second and third black , blue , and bronze logos used by the Capitals . The logo on the left was used from 1995 to 2002 , while the logo on the right was used from 2002 to 2007 . The Capitals unveiled new uniforms on June 22 , 2007 , which coincided with the NHL Entry Draft and the new league - wide adaptation of the Reebok - designed uniform system for 2007 -- 08 . The change marked a return to the red , white and blue color scheme originally used from 1974 to 1995 . The new primary logo is reminiscent of the original Capitals ' logo , complete with a hockey stick formed by the letter `` t '' ; it also includes a new feature not present in the original logo in the form of three stars representing DC , Maryland and Virginia . More simply , the stars are a reference to the flag of Washington , D.C. , which is in turn based on the shield of George Washington 's family coat of arms . The new alternate logo uses an eagle in the shape of a `` W '' with the silhouette of the United States Capitol building in the negative space below . For the 2011 NHL Winter Classic , the Capitals wore a white jersey honoring the franchise 's past with the original logo . The jersey resembled the one the franchise wore from 1974 to 1995 . Instead of wearing the combination of blue pants and white helmets the team used when it played at the Capital Centre , the Capitals chose red pants and helmets for the New Year 's Day game . The Capitals wore the same jersey , minus the NHL Winter Classic patch , on February 1 , 2011 , to honor Hockey Hall of Fame winger Dino Ciccarelli . The current alternate logo used by the Capitals , introduced in 2007 . The Capitals announced on September 16 , 2011 , that they would wear a third jersey modeled after the Winter Classic jersey for 16 road games during the 2011 -- 12 season . For the 2015 Winter Classic , which took place on New Year 's Day at Nationals Park in Washington , D.C. , the Capitals wore a newly designed jersey intended to pay homage to hockey 's outdoor roots . The primary color of the jersey was a vintage deep red . The addition of stripes on the shoulders , waist and legs brought in elements of Washington 's professional hockey jerseys from the 1930s , predating the Capitals franchise 's formation in the 1970s . A large `` W '' on the front of the jersey , topped with the common three stars , offset in blue to contrast the white `` Capitals '' word - mark . Starting with the 2015 -- 16 season , the Capitals will wear their throwback red third jerseys , replacing the white Winter Classic thirds . Prior to the 2017 - 18 season , the NHL announced a new partnership with Adidas , and the Capitals unveiled new uniforms with minor changes . For the 2018 Stadium Series , the Capitals used newly - designed navy uniforms , honoring the fact that the game was held at the U.S. Naval Academy . The chest logo was based on the regular stylized `` Capitals '' logo , but shortened to `` Caps '' , the nickname commonly used for the team . There were also features honoring various aspects of D.C. , as well as the presence of a slightly altered W logo from the 2015 Winter Classic on the pants . National anthem During the singing of the American national anthem , fans commonly yell `` Red '' when the line `` And the rockets ' red glare '' is sung and `` O '' when the line `` O say does that star - spangled banner yet wave '' is sung .

when's the last time washington capitals won stanley cup
[ "The Capitals were founded in 1974 as an expansion franchise, alongside the Kansas City Scouts. Since purchasing the team in 1999, Leonsis revitalized the franchise by drafting star players such as Alexander Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom, Mike Green and Braden Holtby. The 2009–10 Capitals won the franchise's first-ever Presidents' Trophy for being the team with the most points at the end of the regular season. They won it a second time in 2015–16, and did so for a third time the following season in 2016–17. In addition to eleven division titles and three Presidents' Trophies, the Capitals have reached the Stanley Cup Finals twice (in 1998 and 2018), winning in 2018.\n" ]

The championship has been awarded every four years since the inaugural tournament in 1930 , except in 1942 and 1946 when it was not held because of the Second World War . The current champion is France , which won its second title at the 2018 tournament in Russia . The current format of the competition involves a qualification phase , which currently takes place over the preceding three years , to determine which teams qualify for the tournament phase , which is often called the World Cup Finals . After this , 32 teams , including the automatically qualifying host nation ( s ) , compete in the tournament phase for the title at venues within the host nation ( s ) over a period of about a month . The 21 World Cup tournaments have been won by eight national teams . Brazil have won five times , and they are the only team to have played in every tournament . The other World Cup winners are Germany and Italy , with four titles each ; Argentina , France and inaugural winner Uruguay , with two titles each ; and England and Spain with one title each . The World Cup is the most prestigious association football tournament in the world , as well as the most widely viewed and followed sporting event in the world , exceeding even the Olympic Games ; the cumulative viewership of all matches of the 2006 World Cup was estimated to be 26.29 billion with an estimated 715.1 million people watching the final match , a ninth of the entire population of the planet . 17 countries have hosted the World Cup . Brazil , France , Italy , Germany and Mexico have each hosted twice , while Uruguay , Switzerland , Sweden , Chile , England , Argentina , Spain , the United States , Japan and South Korea ( jointly ) , South Africa and Russia have each hosted once . Qatar are planned as hosts of the 2022 finals , and 2026 will be a joint hosted finals between Canada , the United States and Mexico , which will give Mexico the distinction of being the first country to have hosted games in three different finals .

The first international tournament , the inaugural British Home Championship , took place in 1884 . As football grew in popularity in other parts of the world at the start of the 20th century , it was held as a demonstration sport with no medals awarded at the 1900 and 1904 Summer Olympics ( however , the IOC has retroactively upgraded their status to official events ) , and at the 1906 Intercalated Games . After FIFA was founded in 1904 , it tried to arrange an international football tournament between nations outside the Olympic framework in Switzerland in 1906 . These were very early days for international football , and the official history of FIFA describes the competition as having been a failure . At the 1908 Summer Olympics in London , football became an official competition . Planned by The Football Association ( FA ) , England 's football governing body , the event was for amateur players only and was regarded suspiciously as a show rather than a competition . Great Britain ( represented by the England national amateur football team ) won the gold medals . They repeated the feat at the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm . With the Olympic event continuing to be contested only between amateur teams , Sir Thomas Lipton organised the Sir Thomas Lipton Trophy tournament in Turin in 1909 . The Lipton tournament was a championship between individual clubs ( not national teams ) from different nations , each one of which represented an entire nation . The competition is sometimes described as The First World Cup , and featured the most prestigious professional club sides from Italy , Germany and Switzerland , but the FA of England refused to be associated with the competition and declined the offer to send a professional team . Lipton invited West Auckland , an amateur side from County Durham , to represent England instead . West Auckland won the tournament and returned in 1911 to successfully defend their title . In 1914 , FIFA agreed to recognise the Olympic tournament as a `` world football championship for amateurs '' , and took responsibility for managing the event . This paved the way for the world 's first intercontinental football competition , at the 1920 Summer Olympics , contested by Egypt and 13 European teams , and won by Belgium . Uruguay won the next two Olympic football tournaments in 1924 and 1928 . Those were also the first two open world championships , as 1924 was the start of FIFA 's professional era . World Cups before World War II FIFA president Jules Rimet convinced the confederations to promote an international football tournament . Due to the success of the Olympic football tournaments , FIFA , with President Jules Rimet as the driving force , again started looking at staging its own international tournament outside of the Olympics . On 28 May 1928 , the FIFA Congress in Amsterdam decided to stage a world championship itself . With Uruguay now two - time official football world champions and to celebrate their centenary of independence in 1930 , FIFA named Uruguay as the host country of the inaugural World Cup tournament . The national associations of selected nations were invited to send a team , but the choice of Uruguay as a venue for the competition meant a long and costly trip across the Atlantic Ocean for European sides . Indeed , no European country pledged to send a team until two months before the start of the competition . Rimet eventually persuaded teams from Belgium , France , Romania , and Yugoslavia to make the trip . In total , 13 nations took part : seven from South America , four from Europe and two from North America . Estadio Centenario , the location of the first World Cup final in 1930 in Montevideo , Uruguay The first two World Cup matches took place simultaneously on 13 July 1930 , and were won by France and the USA , who defeated Mexico 4 -- 1 and Belgium 3 -- 0 respectively . The first goal in World Cup history was scored by Lucien Laurent of France . In the final , Uruguay defeated Argentina 4 -- 2 in front of 93,000 people in Montevideo , and became the first nation to win the World Cup . After the creation of the World Cup , FIFA and the IOC disagreed over the status of amateur players , and so football was dropped from the 1932 Summer Olympics . Olympic football returned at the 1936 Summer Olympics , but was now overshadowed by the more prestigious World Cup . The issues facing the early World Cup tournaments were the difficulties of intercontinental travel , and war . Few South American teams were willing to travel to Europe for the 1934 World Cup and all North and South American nations except Brazil and Cuba boycotted the 1938 tournament . Brazil was the only South American team to compete in both . The 1942 and 1946 competitions , which Germany and Brazil sought to host , were cancelled due to World War II and its aftermath . World Cups after World War II The opening game of the Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro , shortly before the 1950 FIFA World Cup . From the National Archives of Brazil The 1950 World Cup , held in Brazil , was the first to include British participants . British teams withdrew from FIFA in 1920 , partly out of unwillingness to play against the countries they had been at war with , and partly as a protest against foreign influence on football , but rejoined in 1946 following FIFA 's invitation . The tournament also saw the return of 1930 champions Uruguay , who had boycotted the previous two World Cups . Uruguay won the tournament again after defeating the host nation Brazil , in the match called `` Maracanazo '' ( Portuguese : Maracanaço ) . In the tournaments between 1934 and 1978 , 16 teams competed in each tournament , except in 1938 , when Austria was absorbed into Germany after qualifying , leaving the tournament with 15 teams , and in 1950 , when India , Scotland , and Turkey withdrew , leaving the tournament with 13 teams . Most of the participating nations were from Europe and South America , with a small minority from North America , Africa , Asia , and Oceania . These teams were usually defeated easily by the European and South American teams . Until 1982 , the only teams from outside Europe and South America to advance out of the first round were : USA , semi-finalists in 1930 ; Cuba , quarter - finalists in 1938 ; North Korea , quarter - finalists in 1966 ; and Mexico , quarter - finalists in 1970 . Expansion to 32 teams Interior view of the Soccer City in Johannesburg , South Africa , during a match at the 2010 FIFA World Cup The tournament was expanded to 24 teams in 1982 , and then to 32 in 1998 , also allowing more teams from Africa , Asia and North America to take part . Since then , teams from these regions have enjoyed more success , with several having reached the quarter - finals : Mexico , quarter - finalists in 1986 ; Cameroon , quarter - finalists in 1990 ; South Korea , finishing in fourth place in 2002 ; Senegal , along with USA , both quarter - finalists in 2002 ; Ghana , quarter - finalists in 2010 ; and Costa Rica , quarter - finalists in 2014 . Nevertheless , European and South American teams continue to dominate , e.g. , the quarter - finalists in 1994 , 1998 , 2006 and 2018 were all from Europe or South America and so were the finalists of all tournaments so far . Two hundred teams entered the 2002 FIFA World Cup qualification rounds ; 198 nations attempted to qualify for the 2006 FIFA World Cup , while a record 204 countries entered qualification for the 2010 FIFA World Cup . Expansion to 48 teams In October 2013 , Sepp Blatter spoke of guaranteeing the Caribbean Football Union 's region a position in the World Cup . In the edition of 25 October 2013 of the FIFA Weekly Blatter wrote that : `` From a purely sporting perspective , I would like to see globalisation finally taken seriously , and the African and Asian national associations accorded the status they deserve at the FIFA World Cup . It can not be that the European and South American confederations lay claim to the majority of the berths at the World Cup . '' Those two remarks suggested to commentators that Blatter could be putting himself forward for re-election to the FIFA Presidency . Following the magazine 's publication , Blatter 's would - be opponent for the FIFA Presidency , UEFA President Michel Platini , responded that he intended to extend the World Cup to 40 national associations , increasing the number of participants by eight . Platini said that he would allocate an additional berth to UEFA , two to the Asian Football Confederation and the Confederation of African Football , two shared between CONCACAF and CONMEBOL , and a guaranteed place for the Oceania Football Confederation . Platini was clear about why he wanted to expand the World Cup . He said : `` ( The World Cup is ) not based on the quality of the teams because you do n't have the best 32 at the World Cup ... but it 's a good compromise ... It 's a political matter so why not have more Africans ? The competition is to bring all the people of all the world . If you do n't give the possibility to participate , they do n't improve . '' In October 2016 FIFA president Gianni Infantino stated his support for a 48 - team World Cup in 2026 . On 10 January 2017 , FIFA confirmed the 2026 World Cup will have 48 finalist teams . 2015 FIFA corruption case Main article : 2015 FIFA corruption case By May 2015 , the games were under a particularly dark cloud because of the 2015 FIFA corruption case , allegations and criminal charges of bribery , fraud and money laundering to corrupt the issuing of media and marketing rights ( rigged bids ) for FIFA games , with FIFA officials accused of taking bribes totaling more than $150 million over 24 years . In late May , the U.S. Justice Department announced a 47 - count indictment with charges of racketeering , wire fraud and money laundering conspiracy against 14 people . Arrests of over a dozen FIFA officials were made since that time , particularly on 29 May and 3 December . By the end of May 2015 , a total of nine FIFA officials and five executives of sports and broadcasting markets had already been charged on corruption . At the time , FIFA president Sepp Blatter announced he would relinquish his position in February 2016 . On 4 June 2015 Chuck Blazer while co-operating with the FBI and the Swiss authorities admitted that he and the other members of FIFA 's then - executive committee were bribed in order to promote the 1998 and 2010 World Cups . On 10 June 2015 Swiss authorities seized computer data from the offices of Sepp Blatter . The same day , FIFA postponed the bidding process for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in light of the allegations surrounding bribery in the awarding of the 2018 and 2022 tournaments . Then - secretary general Jérôme Valcke stated , `` Due to the situation , I think it 's nonsense to start any bidding process for the time being . '' On 28 October 2015 , Blatter and FIFA VP Michel Platini , a potential candidate for presidency , were suspended for 90 days ; both maintained their innocence in statements made to the news media . On 3 December 2015 two FIFA vice-presidents were arrested on suspicion of bribery in the same Zurich hotel where seven FIFA officials had been arrested in May . An additional 16 indictments by the U.S. Department of Justice were announced on the same day . Other FIFA tournaments The BC Place in Vancouver hosting a 2015 Women 's World Cup match An equivalent tournament for women 's football , the FIFA Women 's World Cup , was first held in 1991 in China . The women 's tournament is smaller in scale and profile than the men 's , but is growing ; the number of entrants for the 2007 tournament was 120 , more than double that of 1991 . Men 's football has been included in every Summer Olympic Games except 1896 and 1932 . Unlike many other sports , the men 's football tournament at the Olympics is not a top - level tournament , and since 1992 , an under - 23 tournament with each team allowed three over-age players . Women 's football made its Olympic debut in 1996 . The FIFA Confederations Cup is a tournament held one year before the World Cup at the World Cup host nation ( s ) as a dress rehearsal for the upcoming World Cup . It is contested by the winners of each of the six FIFA confederation championships , along with the FIFA World Cup champion and the host country . FIFA also organises international tournaments for youth football ( FIFA U-20 World Cup , FIFA U-17 World Cup , FIFA U-20 Women 's World Cup , FIFA U-17 Women 's World Cup ) , club football ( FIFA Club World Cup ) , and football variants such as futsal ( FIFA Futsal World Cup ) and beach soccer ( FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup ) . The latter three do not have a women 's version , although a FIFA Women 's Club World Cup has been proposed . The FIFA U-20 Women 's World Cup is held the year before each Women 's World Cup and both tournaments are awarded in a single bidding process . The U-20 tournament serves as a dress rehearsal for the larger competition . Trophy Main article : FIFA World Cup Trophy Queen Elizabeth II presenting the Jules Rimet trophy to 1966 World Cup winning England captain Bobby Moore From 1930 to 1970 , the Jules Rimet Trophy was awarded to the World Cup winning team . It was originally simply known as the World Cup or Coupe du Monde , but in 1946 it was renamed after the FIFA president Jules Rimet who set up the first tournament . In 1970 , Brazil 's third victory in the tournament entitled them to keep the trophy permanently . However , the trophy was stolen in 1983 and has never been recovered , apparently melted down by the thieves . The current World Cup trophy , presented since 1974 After 1970 , a new trophy , known as the FIFA World Cup Trophy , was designed . The experts of FIFA , coming from seven countries , evaluated the 53 presented models , finally opting for the work of the Italian designer Silvio Gazzaniga . The new trophy is 36 cm ( 14.2 in ) high , made of solid 18 carat ( 75 % ) gold and weighs 6.175 kg ( 13.6 lb ) . The base contains two layers of semi-precious malachite while the bottom side of the trophy bears the engraved year and name of each FIFA World Cup winner since 1974 . The description of the trophy by Gazzaniga was : `` The lines spring out from the base , rising in spirals , stretching out to receive the world . From the remarkable dynamic tensions of the compact body of the sculpture rise the figures of two athletes at the stirring moment of victory . '' This new trophy is not awarded to the winning nation permanently . World Cup winners retain the trophy only until the post-match celebration is finished . They are awarded a gold - plated replica rather than the solid gold original immediately afterwards . Currently , all members ( players , coaches , and managers ) of the top three teams receive medals with an insignia of the World Cup Trophy ; winners ' ( gold ) , runners - up ' ( silver ) , and third - place ( bronze ) . In the 2002 edition , fourth - place medals were awarded to hosts South Korea . Before the 1978 tournament , medals were only awarded to the eleven players on the pitch at the end of the final and the third - place match . In November 2007 , FIFA announced that all members of World Cup - winning squads between 1930 and 1974 were to be retroactively awarded winners ' medals . Format Qualification Main article : FIFA World Cup qualification Since the second World Cup in 1934 , qualifying tournaments have been held to thin the field for the final tournament . They are held within the six FIFA continental zones ( Africa , Asia , North and Central America and Caribbean , South America , Oceania , and Europe ) , overseen by their respective confederations . For each tournament , FIFA decides the number of places awarded to each of the continental zones beforehand , generally based on the relative strength of the confederations ' teams . The qualification process can start as early as almost three years before the final tournament and last over a two - year period . The formats of the qualification tournaments differ between confederations . Usually , one or two places are awarded to winners of intercontinental play - offs . For example , the winner of the Oceanian zone and the fifth - placed team from the Asian zone entered a play - off for a spot in the 2010 World Cup . From the 1938 World Cup onwards , host nations receive automatic qualification to the final tournament . This right was also granted to the defending champions between 1938 and 2002 , but was withdrawn from the 2006 FIFA World Cup onward , requiring the champions to qualify . Brazil , winners in 2002 , were the first defending champions to play qualifying matches . Final tournament For the various formats used in previous tournaments , see History of the FIFA World Cup § Format of each final tournament . The current final tournament has been used since 1998 and features 32 national teams competing over the course of a month in the host nation ( s ) . There are two stages : the group stage followed by the knockout stage . In the group stage , teams compete within eight groups of four teams each . Eight teams are seeded , including the hosts , with the other seeded teams selected using a formula based on the FIFA World Rankings and / or performances in recent World Cups , and drawn to separate groups . The other teams are assigned to different `` pots '' , usually based on geographical criteria , and teams in each pot are drawn at random to the eight groups . Since 1998 , constraints have been applied to the draw to ensure that no group contains more than two European teams or more than one team from any other confederation . Each group plays a round - robin tournament , in which each team is scheduled for three matches against other teams in the same group . This means that a total of six matches are played within a group . The last round of matches of each group is scheduled at the same time to preserve fairness among all four teams . The top two teams from each group advance to the knockout stage . Points are used to rank the teams within a group . Since 1994 , three points have been awarded for a win , one for a draw and none for a loss ( before , winners received two points ) . If one considers all possible outcomes ( win , draw , loss ) for all six matches in a group , there are 729 ( = 3 ) outcome combinations possible . However , 207 of these combinations lead to ties between the second and third places . In such case , the ranking among these teams is determined as follows : Greatest combined goal difference in all group matches Greatest combined number of goals scored in all group matches If more than one team remain level after applying the above criteria , their ranking will be determined as follows : Greatest number of points in head - to - head matches among those teams Greatest goal difference in head - to - head matches among those teams Greatest number of goals scored in head - to - head matches among those teams Fair play points , defined by the number of yellow and red cards received in the group stage : Yellow card : minus 1 point Indirect red card ( as a result of a second yellow card ) : minus 3 points Direct red card : minus 4 points Yellow card and direct red card : minus 5 points If any of the teams above remain level after applying the above criteria , their ranking will be determined by the drawing of lots The knockout stage is a single - elimination tournament in which teams play each other in one - off matches , with extra time and penalty shootouts used to decide the winner if necessary . It begins with the round of 16 ( or the second round ) in which the winner of each group plays against the runner - up of another group . This is followed by the quarter - finals , the semi-finals , the third - place match ( contested by the losing semi-finalists ) , and the final . On 10 January 2017 , FIFA approved a new format , the 48 - team World Cup ( to accommodate more teams ) , which consists of 16 groups of three teams each , with two teams qualifying from each group , to form a round of 32 knockout stage , to be implemented by 2026 . Hosts Main article : FIFA World Cup hosts Map of FIFA World Cup final hosts , 1930 -- 2022 . Green : once ; dark green : twice ; light green : planned Selection process Early World Cups were given to countries at meetings of FIFA 's congress . The locations were controversial because South America and Europe were by far the two centres of strength in football and travel between them required three weeks by boat . The decision to hold the first World Cup in Uruguay , for example , led to only four European nations competing . The next two World Cups were both held in Europe . The decision to hold the second of these in France was disputed , as the South American countries understood that the location would alternate between the two continents . Both Argentina and Uruguay thus boycotted the 1938 FIFA World Cup . Since the 1958 FIFA World Cup , to avoid future boycotts or controversy , FIFA began a pattern of alternating the hosts between the Americas and Europe , which continued until the 1998 FIFA World Cup . The 2002 FIFA World Cup , hosted jointly by South Korea and Japan , was the first one held in Asia , and the first tournament with multiple hosts . South Africa became the first African nation to host the World Cup in 2010 . The 2014 FIFA World Cup was hosted by Brazil , the first held in South America since Argentina 1978 , and was the first occasion where consecutive World Cups were held outside Europe . Russian delegates celebrate being chosen as the host of the 2018 FIFA World Cup The host country is now chosen in a vote by FIFA 's Council . This is done under an exhaustive ballot system . The national football association of a country desiring to host the event receives a `` Hosting Agreement '' from FIFA , which explains the steps and requirements that are expected from a strong bid . The bidding association also receives a form , the submission of which represents the official confirmation of the candidacy . After this , a FIFA designated group of inspectors visit the country to identify that the country meets the requirements needed to host the event and a report on the country is produced . The decision on who will host the World Cup is usually made six or seven years in advance of the tournament . However , there have been occasions where the hosts of multiple future tournaments were announced at the same time , as was the case for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups , which were awarded to Russia and Qatar , with Qatar becoming the first Middle Eastern country to host the tournament . For the 2010 and 2014 World Cups , the final tournament is rotated between confederations , allowing only countries from the chosen confederation ( Africa in 2010 , South America in 2014 ) to bid to host the tournament . The rotation policy was introduced after the controversy surrounding Germany 's victory over South Africa in the vote to host the 2006 tournament . However , the policy of continental rotation will not continue beyond 2014 , so any country , except those belonging to confederations that hosted the two preceding tournaments , can apply as hosts for World Cups starting from 2018 . This is partly to avoid a similar scenario to the bidding process for the 2014 tournament , where Brazil was the only official bidder . The 2026 FIFA World Cup was chosen to be held in the United States , Canada and Mexico , marking the first time a World Cup has been shared by three host nations . The 2026 tournament will be the biggest World Cup ever held , with 48 teams playing 80 matches . Sixty matches will take place in the US , including all matches from the quarter - finals onward , while Canada and Mexico will host 10 games each . Performances See also : Results of host nations in the FIFA World Cup Six of the eight champions have won one of their titles while playing in their own homeland , the exceptions being Brazil , who finished as runners - up after losing the deciding match on home soil in 1950 and lost their semi-final against Germany in 2014 , and Spain , which reached the second round on home soil in 1982 . England ( 1966 ) won its only title while playing as a host nation . Uruguay ( 1930 ) , Italy ( 1934 ) , Argentina ( 1978 ) and France ( 1998 ) won their first titles as host nations but have gone on to win again , while Germany ( 1974 ) won their second title on home soil . Other nations have also been successful when hosting the tournament .

Source : FIFA Broadcasting and promotion See also : List of FIFA World Cup broadcasters A Coca - Cola bottle promoting the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan The World Cup was first televised in 1954 and is now the most widely viewed and followed sporting event in the world . The cumulative viewership of all matches of the 2006 World Cup is estimated to be 26.29 billion . 715.1 million individuals watched the final match of this tournament ( a ninth of the entire population of the planet ) . The 2006 World Cup draw , which decided the distribution of teams into groups , was watched by 300 million viewers . The World Cup attracts many sponsors such as Coca - Cola , McDonald 's and Adidas . For these companies and many more , being a sponsor strongly impacts their global brands . Host countries typically experience a multimillion - dollar revenue increase from the month - long event . The governing body of the sport , FIFA , generated $4.8 billion in revenue from the 2014 tournament . Each FIFA World Cup since 1966 has its own mascot or logo . World Cup Willie , the mascot for the 1966 competition , was the first World Cup mascot . World Cups feature official match balls specially designed for each tournament . Each World Cup also has an official song , which have been performed by artists ranging from Shakira to Will Smith . Other songs , such as `` Nessun dorma '' , performed by The Three Tenors at four World Cup concerts , have also become identified with the tournament . Forming a partnership with FIFA in 1970 , Panini published its first sticker album for the 1970 World Cup . Since then , collecting and trading stickers has become part of the World Cup experience , especially for the younger generation . FIFA has also licensed World Cup video games since 1986 , with Electronic Arts the current license holder . The World Cup even has a statistically significant effect on birth rates , the male / female sex ratio of newborns , and heart attacks in nations whose national teams are competing .

FIFA now recognises the United States as the third - placed team and Yugoslavia as the fourth - placed team , using the overall records of the teams in the tournament . ^ Jump up to : There was no official World Cup final match in 1950 . The tournament winner was decided by a final round - robin group contested by four teams ( Uruguay , Brazil , Sweden , and Spain ) . Coincidentally , one of the last two matches of the tournament pitted the two top ranked teams against each other , with Uruguay 's 2 -- 1 victory over Brazil thus often being considered as the de facto final of the 1950 World Cup . Likewise , the game between the lowest ranked teams , played at the same time as Uruguay vs Brazil , can be considered equal to a 3rd place match , with Sweden 's 3 -- 1 victory over Spain ensuring that they finished third . In all , 79 nations have played in at least one World Cup . Of these , eight national teams have won the World Cup , and they have added stars to their badges , with each star representing a World Cup victory . ( Uruguay , however , choose to display four stars on their badge , representing their two gold medals at the 1924 and 1928 Summer Olympics and their two World Cup titles in 1930 and 1950 ) . With five titles , Brazil are the most successful World Cup team and also the only nation to have played in every World Cup ( 21 ) to date . Brazil were also the first team to win the World Cup for the third ( 1970 ) , fourth ( 1994 ) and fifth ( 2002 ) time . Italy ( 1934 and 1938 ) and Brazil ( 1958 and 1962 ) are the only nations to have won consecutive titles . West Germany ( 1982 -- 1990 ) and Brazil ( 1994 -- 2002 ) are the only nations to appear in three consecutive World Cup finals . Germany has made the most top - four finishes ( 13 ) , medals ( 12 ) , as well as the most finals ( 8 ) .

The fourth placed goalscorer , France 's Just Fontaine , holds the record for the most goals scored in a single World Cup ; all his 13 goals were scored in the 1958 tournament . In November 2007 , FIFA announced that all members of World Cup - winning squads between 1930 and 1974 were to be retroactively awarded winners ' medals . This made Brazil 's Pelé the only player to have won three World Cup winners ' medals ( 1958 , 1962 , and 1970 , although he did not play in the 1962 final due to injury ) , with 20 other players who have won two winners ' medals .

Computer data storage - wikipedia Computer data storage `` Memory device '' redirects here . For tricks used to aid human memory , see mnemonic . Main article : Data storage This article needs additional citations for verification . Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( June 2018 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) 1 GiB of SDRAM mounted in a personal computer . An example of primary storage . 15 GiB PATA hard disk drive ( HDD ) from 1999 ; when connected to a computer it serves as secondary storage . 160 GB SDLT tape cartridge , an example of off - line storage . When used within a robotic tape library , it is classified as tertiary storage instead . Computer data storage , often called storage or memory , is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media that are used to retain digital data . It is a core function and fundamental component of computers . The central processing unit ( CPU ) of a computer is what manipulates data by performing computations . In practice , almost all computers use a storage hierarchy , which puts fast but expensive and small storage options close to the CPU and slower but larger and cheaper options farther away . Generally the fast volatile technologies ( which lose data when off power ) are referred to as `` memory '' , while slower persistent technologies are referred to as `` storage '' . In the Von Neumann architecture , the CPU consists of two main parts : The control unit and the arithmetic logic unit ( ALU ) . The former controls the flow of data between the CPU and memory , while the latter performs arithmetic and logical operations on data .

It would have to be reconfigured to change its behavior . This is acceptable for devices such as desk calculators , digital signal processors , and other specialized devices . Von Neumann machines differ in having a memory in which they store their operating instructions and data . Such computers are more versatile in that they do not need to have their hardware reconfigured for each new program , but can simply be reprogrammed with new in - memory instructions ; they also tend to be simpler to design , in that a relatively simple processor may keep state between successive computations to build up complex procedural results . Most modern computers are von Neumann machines . Data organization and representation ( edit ) A modern digital computer represents data using the binary numeral system . Text , numbers , pictures , audio , and nearly any other form of information can be converted into a string of bits , or binary digits , each of which has a value of 1 or 0 . The most common unit of storage is the byte , equal to 8 bits . A piece of information can be handled by any computer or device whose storage space is large enough to accommodate the binary representation of the piece of information , or simply data . For example , the complete works of Shakespeare , about 1250 pages in print , can be stored in about five megabytes ( 40 million bits ) with one byte per character . Data are encoded by assigning a bit pattern to each character , digit , or multimedia object . Many standards exist for encoding ( e.g. , character encodings like ASCII , image encodings like JPEG , video encodings like MPEG - 4 ) . By adding bits to each encoded unit , redundancy allows the computer to both detect errors in coded data and correct them based on mathematical algorithms . Errors generally occur in low probabilities due to random bit value flipping , or `` physical bit fatigue '' , loss of the physical bit in storage of its ability to maintain a distinguishable value ( 0 or 1 ) , or due to errors in inter or intra-computer communication . A random bit flip ( e.g. , due to random radiation ) is typically corrected upon detection . A bit , or a group of malfunctioning physical bits ( not always the specific defective bit is known ; group definition depends on specific storage device ) is typically automatically fenced - out , taken out of use by the device , and replaced with another functioning equivalent group in the device , where the corrected bit values are restored ( if possible ) . The cyclic redundancy check ( CRC ) method is typically used in communications and storage for error detection . A detected error is then retried . Data compression methods allow in many cases ( such as a database ) to represent a string of bits by a shorter bit string ( `` compress '' ) and reconstruct the original string ( `` decompress '' ) when needed . This utilizes substantially less storage ( tens of percents ) for many types of data at the cost of more computation ( compress and decompress when needed ) . Analysis of trade - off between storage cost saving and costs of related computations and possible delays in data availability is done before deciding whether to keep certain data compressed or not . For security reasons certain types of data ( e.g. , credit - card information ) may be kept encrypted in storage to prevent the possibility of unauthorized information reconstruction from chunks of storage snapshots . Hierarchy of storage ( edit ) Main article : Memory hierarchy This article appears to contradict the article Memory hierarchy . Please see discussion on the linked talk page . ( March 2013 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Various forms of storage , divided according to their distance from the central processing unit . The fundamental components of a general - purpose computer are arithmetic and logic unit , control circuitry , storage space , and input / output devices . Technology and capacity as in common home computers around 2005 . Generally , the lower a storage is in the hierarchy , the lesser its bandwidth and the greater its access latency is from the CPU . This traditional division of storage to primary , secondary , tertiary and off - line storage is also guided by cost per bit . In contemporary usage , `` memory '' is usually semiconductor storage read - write random - access memory , typically DRAM ( dynamic RAM ) or other forms of fast but temporary storage . `` Storage '' consists of storage devices and their media not directly accessible by the CPU ( secondary or tertiary storage ) , typically hard disk drives , optical disc drives , and other devices slower than RAM but non-volatile ( retaining contents when powered down ) . Historically , memory has been called core memory , main memory , real storage or internal memory . Meanwhile , non-volatile storage devices have been referred to as secondary storage , external memory or auxiliary / peripheral storage . Primary storage ( edit ) Main article : Computer memory Primary storage ( also known as main memory or internal memory ) , often referred to simply as memory , is the only one directly accessible to the CPU . The CPU continuously reads instructions stored there and executes them as required . Any data actively operated on is also stored there in uniform manner . Historically , early computers used delay lines , Williams tubes , or rotating magnetic drums as primary storage . By 1954 , those unreliable methods were mostly replaced by magnetic core memory . Core memory remained dominant until the 1970s , when advances in integrated circuit technology allowed semiconductor memory to become economically competitive . This led to modern random - access memory ( RAM ) . It is small - sized , light , but quite expensive at the same time . ( The particular types of RAM used for primary storage are also volatile , i.e. they lose the information when not powered ) . As shown in the diagram , traditionally there are two more sub-layers of the primary storage , besides main large - capacity RAM : Processor registers are located inside the processor . Each register typically holds a word of data ( often 32 or 64 bits ) . CPU instructions instruct the arithmetic logic unit to perform various calculations or other operations on this data ( or with the help of it ) . Registers are the fastest of all forms of computer data storage . Processor cache is an intermediate stage between ultra-fast registers and much slower main memory . It was introduced solely to improve the performance of computers . Most actively used information in the main memory is just duplicated in the cache memory , which is faster , but of much lesser capacity . On the other hand , main memory is much slower , but has a much greater storage capacity than processor registers . Multi-level hierarchical cache setup is also commonly used -- primary cache being smallest , fastest and located inside the processor ; secondary cache being somewhat larger and slower . Main memory is directly or indirectly connected to the central processing unit via a memory bus . It is actually two buses ( not on the diagram ) : an address bus and a data bus . The CPU firstly sends a number through an address bus , a number called memory address , that indicates the desired location of data . Then it reads or writes the data in the memory cells using the data bus . Additionally , a memory management unit ( MMU ) is a small device between CPU and RAM recalculating the actual memory address , for example to provide an abstraction of virtual memory or other tasks . As the RAM types used for primary storage are volatile ( uninitialized at start up ) , a computer containing only such storage would not have a source to read instructions from , in order to start the computer . Hence , non-volatile primary storage containing a small startup program ( BIOS ) is used to bootstrap the computer , that is , to read a larger program from non-volatile secondary storage to RAM and start to execute it . A non-volatile technology used for this purpose is called ROM , for read - only memory ( the terminology may be somewhat confusing as most ROM types are also capable of random access ) . Many types of `` ROM '' are not literally read only , as updates to them are possible ; however it is slow and memory must be erased in large portions before it can be re-written . Some embedded systems run programs directly from ROM ( or similar ) , because such programs are rarely changed . Standard computers do not store non-rudimentary programs in ROM , and rather , use large capacities of secondary storage , which is non-volatile as well , and not as costly . Recently , primary storage and secondary storage in some uses refer to what was historically called , respectively , secondary storage and tertiary storage . Secondary storage ( edit ) A hard disk drive with protective cover removed It has been suggested that Auxiliary memory be merged into this article . ( Discuss ) Proposed since November 2017 . Main article : Auxiliary memory Secondary storage ( also known as external memory or auxiliary storage ) , differs from primary storage in that it is not directly accessible by the CPU . The computer usually uses its input / output channels to access secondary storage and transfers the desired data using intermediate area in primary storage . Secondary storage does not lose the data when the device is powered down -- it is non-volatile . Per unit , it is typically also two orders of magnitude less expensive than primary storage . Modern computer systems typically have two orders of magnitude more secondary storage than primary storage and data are kept for a longer time there . In modern computers , hard disk drives are usually used as secondary storage . The time taken to access a given byte of information stored on a hard disk is typically a few thousandths of a second , or milliseconds . By contrast , the time taken to access a given byte of information stored in random - access memory is measured in billionths of a second , or nanoseconds . This illustrates the significant access - time difference which distinguishes solid - state memory from rotating magnetic storage devices : hard disks are typically about a million times slower than memory . Rotating optical storage devices , such as CD and DVD drives , have even longer access times . With disk drives , once the disk read / write head reaches the proper placement and the data of interest rotates under it , subsequent data on the track are very fast to access . To reduce the seek time and rotational latency , data are transferred to and from disks in large contiguous blocks . When data reside on disk , accessing them in large blocks to hide latency offers an opportunity to design efficient external memory algorithms . Sequential or block access on disks is orders of magnitude faster than random access , and many sophisticated paradigms have been developed to design efficient algorithms based upon sequential and block access . Another way to reduce the I / O bottleneck is to use multiple disks in parallel in order to increase the bandwidth between primary and secondary memory . Some other examples of secondary storage technologies are flash memory ( e.g. USB flash drives or keys ) , floppy disks , magnetic tape , paper tape , punched cards , standalone RAM disks , and Iomega Zip drives . The secondary storage is often formatted according to a file system format , which provides the abstraction necessary to organize data into files and directories , providing also additional information ( called metadata ) describing the owner of a certain file , the access time , the access permissions , and other information . Most computer operating systems use the concept of virtual memory , allowing utilization of more primary storage capacity than is physically available in the system . As the primary memory fills up , the system moves the least - used chunks ( pages ) to secondary storage devices ( to a swap file or page file ) , retrieving them later when they are needed . As more of these retrievals from slower secondary storage are necessary , the more the overall system performance is degraded . Tertiary storage ( edit ) See also : Nearline storage and Cloud storage A large tape library , with tape cartridges placed on shelves in the front , and a robotic arm moving in the back . Visible height of the library is about 180 cm . Tertiary storage or tertiary memory provides a third level of storage . Typically , it involves a robotic mechanism which will mount ( insert ) and dismount removable mass storage media into a storage device according to the system 's demands ; such data are often copied to secondary storage before use . It is primarily used for archiving rarely accessed information since it is much slower than secondary storage ( e.g. 5 -- 60 seconds vs. 1 -- 10 milliseconds ) . This is primarily useful for extraordinarily large data stores , accessed without human operators . Typical examples include tape libraries and optical jukeboxes . When a computer needs to read information from the tertiary storage , it will first consult a catalog database to determine which tape or disc contains the information . Next , the computer will instruct a robotic arm to fetch the medium and place it in a drive . When the computer has finished reading the information , the robotic arm will return the medium to its place in the library . Tertiary storage is also known as nearline storage because it is `` near to online '' . The formal distinction between online , nearline , and offline storage is : Online storage is immediately available for I / O . Nearline storage is not immediately available , but can be made online quickly without human intervention . Offline storage is not immediately available , and requires some human intervention to become online . For example , always - on spinning hard disk drives are online storage , while spinning drives that spin down automatically , such as in massive arrays of idle disks ( MAID ) , are nearline storage . Removable media such as tape cartridges that can be automatically loaded , as in tape libraries , are nearline storage , while tape cartridges that must be manually loaded are offline storage . Off - line storage ( edit ) Off - line storage is a computer data storage on a medium or a device that is not under the control of a processing unit . The medium is recorded , usually in a secondary or tertiary storage device , and then physically removed or disconnected . It must be inserted or connected by a human operator before a computer can access it again . Unlike tertiary storage , it can not be accessed without human interaction . Off - line storage is used to transfer information , since the detached medium can be easily physically transported . Additionally , in case a disaster , for example a fire , destroys the original data , a medium in a remote location will probably be unaffected , enabling disaster recovery . Off - line storage increases general information security , since it is physically inaccessible from a computer , and data confidentiality or integrity can not be affected by computer - based attack techniques . Also , if the information stored for archival purposes is rarely accessed , off - line storage is less expensive than tertiary storage . In modern personal computers , most secondary and tertiary storage media are also used for off - line storage . Optical discs and flash memory devices are most popular , and to much lesser extent removable hard disk drives . In enterprise uses , magnetic tape is predominant . Older examples are floppy disks , Zip disks , or punched cards . Characteristics of storage ( edit ) A 1 GB module of laptop DDR2 RAM . Storage technologies at all levels of the storage hierarchy can be differentiated by evaluating certain core characteristics as well as measuring characteristics specific to a particular implementation . These core characteristics are volatility , mutability , accessibility , and addressability . For any particular implementation of any storage technology , the characteristics worth measuring are capacity and performance . Volatility ( edit ) Non-volatile memory retains the stored information even if not constantly supplied with electric power . It is suitable for long - term storage of information . Volatile memory requires constant power to maintain the stored information . The fastest memory technologies are volatile ones , although that is not a universal rule . Since the primary storage is required to be very fast , it predominantly uses volatile memory . Dynamic random - access memory is a form of volatile memory that also requires the stored information to be periodically reread and rewritten , or refreshed , otherwise it would vanish . Static random - access memory is a form of volatile memory similar to DRAM with the exception that it never needs to be refreshed as long as power is applied ; it loses its content when the power supply is lost . An uninterruptible power supply ( UPS ) can be used to give a computer a brief window of time to move information from primary volatile storage into non-volatile storage before the batteries are exhausted . Some systems , for example EMC Symmetrix , have integrated batteries that maintain volatile storage for several minutes . Mutability ( edit ) Read / write storage or mutable storage Allows information to be overwritten at any time . A computer without some amount of read / write storage for primary storage purposes would be useless for many tasks . Modern computers typically use read / write storage also for secondary storage . Read only storage Retains the information stored at the time of manufacture , and write once storage ( write once read many ) allows the information to be written only once at some point after manufacture . These are called immutable storage . Immutable storage is used for tertiary and off - line storage . Examples include CD - ROM and CD - R . Slow write , fast read storage Read / write storage which allows information to be overwritten multiple times , but with the write operation being much slower than the read operation . Examples include CD - RW and swayne memory Accessibility ( edit ) Random access Any location in storage can be accessed at any moment in approximately the same amount of time . Such characteristic is well suited for primary and secondary storage . Most semiconductor memories and disk drives provide random access . Sequential access The accessing of pieces of information will be in a serial order , one after the other ; therefore the time to access a particular piece of information depends upon which piece of information was last accessed . Such characteristic is typical of off - line storage . Addressability ( edit ) Location - addressable Each individually accessible unit of information in storage is selected with its numerical memory address . In modern computers , location - addressable storage usually limits to primary storage , accessed internally by computer programs , since location - addressability is very efficient , but burdensome for humans . File addressable Information is divided into files of variable length , and a particular file is selected with human - readable directory and file names . The underlying device is still location - addressable , but the operating system of a computer provides the file system abstraction to make the operation more understandable . In modern computers , secondary , tertiary and off - line storage use file systems . Content - addressable Each individually accessible unit of information is selected based on the basis of ( part of ) the contents stored there . Content - addressable storage can be implemented using software ( computer program ) or hardware ( computer device ) , with hardware being faster but more expensive option . Hardware content addressable memory is often used in a computer 's CPU cache . Capacity ( edit ) Raw capacity The total amount of stored information that a storage device or medium can hold . It is expressed as a quantity of bits or bytes ( e.g. 10.4 megabytes ) . Memory storage density The compactness of stored information . It is the storage capacity of a medium divided with a unit of length , area or volume ( e.g. 1.2 megabytes per square inch ) . Performance ( edit ) Latency The time it takes to access a particular location in storage . The relevant unit of measurement is typically nanosecond for primary storage , millisecond for secondary storage , and second for tertiary storage . It may make sense to separate read latency and write latency ( especially for non-volatile memory ) and in case of sequential access storage , minimum , maximum and average latency . Throughput The rate at which information can be read from or written to the storage . In computer data storage , throughput is usually expressed in terms of megabytes per second ( MB / s ) , though bit rate may also be used . As with latency , read rate and write rate may need to be differentiated . Also accessing media sequentially , as opposed to randomly , typically yields maximum throughput . Granularity The size of the largest `` chunk '' of data that can be efficiently accessed as a single unit , e.g. without introducing additional latency . Reliability The probability of spontaneous bit value change under various conditions , or overall failure rate . Utilities such as hdparm and sar can be used to measure IO performance in Linux . Energy use ( edit ) Storage devices that reduce fan usage , automatically shut - down during inactivity , and low power hard drives can reduce energy consumption by 90 percent . 2.5 - inch hard disk drives often consume less power than larger ones . Low capacity solid - state drives have no moving parts and consume less power than hard disks . Also , memory may use more power than hard disks . Large caches , which are used to avoid hitting memory wall , may also consume a large amount of power . Storage media ( edit ) As of 2011 , the most commonly used data storage media are semiconductor , magnetic , and optical , while paper still sees some limited usage . Some other fundamental storage technologies , such as all - flash arrays ( AFAs ) are proposed for development . Semiconductor ( edit ) Semiconductor memory uses semiconductor - based integrated circuits to store information . A semiconductor memory chip may contain millions of tiny transistors or capacitors . Both volatile and non-volatile forms of semiconductor memory exist . In modern computers , primary storage almost exclusively consists of dynamic volatile semiconductor memory or dynamic random - access memory . Since the turn of the century , a type of non-volatile semiconductor memory known as flash memory has steadily gained share as off - line storage for home computers . Non-volatile semiconductor memory is also used for secondary storage in various advanced electronic devices and specialized computers that are designed for them . As early as 2006 , notebook and desktop computer manufacturers started using flash - based solid - state drives ( SSDs ) as default configuration options for the secondary storage either in addition to or instead of the more traditional HDD . Magnetic ( edit ) Magnetic storage media Wire ( 1898 ) Tape ( 1928 ) Drum ( 1932 ) Ferrite core ( 1949 ) Hard disk ( 1956 ) Stripe card ( 1956 ) MICR ( 1956 ) Thin film ( 1962 ) CRAM ( 1962 ) Twistor ( ~ 1968 ) Floppy disk ( 1969 ) Bubble ( ~ 1970 ) MRAM ( 1995 ) Racetrack ( 2008 ) Magnetic storage uses different patterns of magnetization on a magnetically coated surface to store information . Magnetic storage is non-volatile . The information is accessed using one or more read / write heads which may contain one or more recording transducers . A read / write head only covers a part of the surface so that the head or medium or both must be moved relative to another in order to access data . In modern computers , magnetic storage will take these forms : Magnetic disk Floppy disk , used for off - line storage Hard disk drive , used for secondary storage Magnetic tape , used for tertiary and off - line storage Carousel memory ( magnetic rolls ) In early computers , magnetic storage was also used as : Primary storage in a form of magnetic memory , or core memory , core rope memory , thin - film memory and / or twistor memory . Tertiary ( e.g. NCR CRAM ) or off line storage in the form of magnetic cards . Magnetic tape was then often used for secondary storage . Optical ( edit ) Optical storage media Blu - ray ( 2003 ) BD - R ( 2006 ) BD - RE ( 2006 ) BD - R XL ( 2010 ) BD - RE XL ( 2010 ) DVD ( 1995 ) DVD - R ( 1997 ) DVD - RW ( 1999 ) DVD + RW ( 2001 ) DVD + R ( 2002 ) DVD + R DL ( 2004 ) DVD - R DL ( 2005 ) Compact disc ( 1982 ) CD - R ( 1988 ) CD - RW ( 1997 ) Discontinued Microform ( 1870 ) Optical tape ( 20th century ) Optical disc ( 20th century ) LaserDisc ( 1978 ) WORM ( 1979 ) UDO ( 2003 ) ProData ( 2003 ) UMD ( 2004 ) HD DVD ( 2006 ) Magneto - optic Kerr effect ( 1877 ) MO disc ( 1980s ) MiniDisc ( 1992 ) Hi - MD ( 2004 ) Optical Assist Laser turntable ( 1986 ) Floptical ( 1991 ) Super DLT ( 1998 ) Optical storage , the typical optical disc , stores information in deformities on the surface of a circular disc and reads this information by illuminating the surface with a laser diode and observing the reflection . Optical disc storage is non-volatile . The deformities may be permanent ( read only media ) , formed once ( write once media ) or reversible ( recordable or read / write media ) . The following forms are currently in common use : CD , CD - ROM , DVD , BD - ROM : Read only storage , used for mass distribution of digital information ( music , video , computer programs ) CD - R , DVD - R , DVD + R , BD - R : Write once storage , used for tertiary and off - line storage CD - RW , DVD - RW , DVD + RW , DVD - RAM , BD - RE : Slow write , fast read storage , used for tertiary and off - line storage Ultra Density Optical or UDO is similar in capacity to BD - R or BD - RE and is slow write , fast read storage used for tertiary and off - line storage . Magneto - optical disc storage is optical disc storage where the magnetic state on a ferromagnetic surface stores information . The information is read optically and written by combining magnetic and optical methods . Magneto - optical disc storage is non-volatile , sequential access , slow write , fast read storage used for tertiary and off - line storage . 3D optical data storage has also been proposed . Light induced magnetization melting in magnetic photoconductors has also been proposed for high - speed low - energy consumption magneto - optical storage . Paper ( edit ) Paper data storage media Antiquity Writing on papyrus ( c. 3000 BCE ) Paper ( 105 CE ) Modern Index card ( 1640s ) Punched tape ( mid-1800s ) Punched card ( 1880s ) Edge - notched card ( 1904 ) Optical mark recognition ( 1930s ) Barcode ( 1948 ) Optical character recognition ( 1950s ) Paper data storage , typically in the form of paper tape or punched cards , has long been used to store information for automatic processing , particularly before general - purpose computers existed . Information was recorded by punching holes into the paper or cardboard medium and was read mechanically ( or later optically ) to determine whether a particular location on the medium was solid or contained a hole . A few technologies allow people to make marks on paper that are easily read by machine -- these are widely used for tabulating votes and grading standardized tests . Barcodes made it possible for any object that was to be sold or transported to have some computer readable information securely attached to it . Other storage media or substrates ( edit ) Vacuum tube memory A Williams tube used a cathode ray tube , and a Selectron tube used a large vacuum tube to store information . These primary storage devices were short - lived in the market , since Williams tube was unreliable and the Selectron tube was expensive . Electro - acoustic memory Delay line memory used sound waves in a substance such as mercury to store information . Delay line memory was dynamic volatile , cycle sequential read / write storage , and was used for primary storage . Optical tape is a medium for optical storage generally consisting of a long and narrow strip of plastic onto which patterns can be written and from which the patterns can be read back . It shares some technologies with cinema film stock and optical discs , but is compatible with neither . The motivation behind developing this technology was the possibility of far greater storage capacities than either magnetic tape or optical discs . Phase - change memory uses different mechanical phases of phase - change material to store information in an X-Y addressable matrix , and reads the information by observing the varying electrical resistance of the material . Phase - change memory would be non-volatile , random - access read / write storage , and might be used for primary , secondary and off - line storage . Most rewritable and many write once optical disks already use phase change material to store information . Holographic data storage stores information optically inside crystals or photopolymers . Holographic storage can utilize the whole volume of the storage medium , unlike optical disc storage which is limited to a small number of surface layers . Holographic storage would be non-volatile , sequential access , and either write once or read / write storage . It might be used for secondary and off - line storage . See Holographic Versatile Disc ( HVD ) . Molecular memory stores information in polymer that can store electric charge . Molecular memory might be especially suited for primary storage . The theoretical storage capacity of molecular memory is 10 terabits per square inch . Magnetic photoconductors store magnetic information which can be modified by low - light illumination . DNA stores information in DNA nucleotides . It was first done in 2012 when researchers achieved a rate of 1.28 petabytes per gram of DNA . In March 2017 scientists reported that a new algorithm called a DNA fountain achieved 85 % of the theoretical limit , at 215 petabytes per gram of DNA . Related technologies ( edit ) Redundancy ( edit ) Main articles : Disk mirroring and RAID See also : Storage replication While a group of bits malfunction may be resolved by error detection and correction mechanisms ( see above ) , storage device malfunction requires different solutions . The following solutions are commonly used and valid for most storage devices : Device mirroring ( replication ) -- A common solution to the problem is constantly maintaining an identical copy of device content on another device ( typically of a same type ) . The downside is that this doubles the storage , and both devices ( copies ) need to be updated simultaneously with some overhead and possibly some delays . The upside is possible concurrent read of a same data group by two independent processes , which increases performance . When one of the replicated devices is detected to be defective , the other copy is still operational , and is being utilized to generate a new copy on another device ( usually available operational in a pool of stand - by devices for this purpose ) . Redundant array of independent disks ( RAID ) -- This method generalizes the device mirroring above by allowing one device in a group of N devices to fail and be replaced with the content restored ( Device mirroring is RAID with N = 2 ) . RAID groups of N = 5 or N = 6 are common . N > 2 saves storage , when comparing with N = 2 , at the cost of more processing during both regular operation ( with often reduced performance ) and defective device replacement . Device mirroring and typical RAID are designed to handle a single device failure in the RAID group of devices . However , if a second failure occurs before the RAID group is completely repaired from the first failure , then data can be lost . The probability of a single failure is typically small . Thus the probability of two failures in a same RAID group in time proximity is much smaller ( approximately the probability squared , i.e. , multiplied by itself ) . If a database can not tolerate even such smaller probability of data loss , then the RAID group itself is replicated ( mirrored ) . In many cases such mirroring is done geographically remotely , in a different storage array , to handle also recovery from disasters ( see disaster recovery above ) . Network connectivity ( edit ) A secondary or tertiary storage may connect to a computer utilizing computer networks . This concept does not pertain to the primary storage , which is shared between multiple processors to a lesser degree . Direct - attached storage ( DAS ) is a traditional mass storage , that does not use any network . This is still a most popular approach . This retronym was coined recently , together with NAS and SAN . Network - attached storage ( NAS ) is mass storage attached to a computer which another computer can access at file level over a local area network , a private wide area network , or in the case of online file storage , over the Internet . NAS is commonly associated with the NFS and CIFS / SMB protocols . Storage area network ( SAN ) is a specialized network , that provides other computers with storage capacity . The crucial difference between NAS and SAN , is that NAS presents and manages file systems to client computers , while SAN provides access at block - addressing ( raw ) level , leaving it to attaching systems to manage data or file systems within the provided capacity . SAN is commonly associated with Fibre Channel networks . Robotic storage ( edit ) Large quantities of individual magnetic tapes , and optical or magneto - optical discs may be stored in robotic tertiary storage devices . In tape storage field they are known as tape libraries , and in optical storage field optical jukeboxes , or optical disk libraries per analogy . Smallest forms of either technology containing just one drive device are referred to as autoloaders or autochangers . Robotic - access storage devices may have a number of slots , each holding individual media , and usually one or more picking robots that traverse the slots and load media to built - in drives . The arrangement of the slots and picking devices affects performance . Important characteristics of such storage are possible expansion options : adding slots , modules , drives , robots . Tape libraries may have from 10 to more than 100,000 slots , and provide terabytes or petabytes of near - line information . Optical jukeboxes are somewhat smaller solutions , up to 1,000 slots . Robotic storage is used for backups , and for high - capacity archives in imaging , medical , and video industries . Hierarchical storage management is a most known archiving strategy of automatically migrating long - unused files from fast hard disk storage to libraries or jukeboxes . If the files are needed , they are retrieved back to disk . See also ( edit ) Wikimedia Commons has media related to Computer memory .

the two most common tertiary storage media are
[ "Tertiary storage or tertiary memory[5] provides a third level of storage. Typically, it involves a robotic mechanism which will mount (insert) and dismount removable mass storage media into a storage device according to the system's demands; such data are often copied to secondary storage before use. It is primarily used for archiving rarely accessed information since it is much slower than secondary storage (e.g. 5–60 seconds vs. 1–10 milliseconds). This is primarily useful for extraordinarily large data stores, accessed without human operators. Typical examples include tape libraries and optical jukeboxes.\n", "Tertiary storage or tertiary memory[5] provides a third level of storage.

Satsuma Province
Satsuma province - wikipedia Satsuma province Jump to : navigation , search Map of Japanese provinces ( 1868 ) with Satsuma Province highlighted Satsuma Province ( 薩摩 国 , Satsuma - no Kuni ) was an old province of Japan that is now the western half of Kagoshima Prefecture on the island of Kyūshū . Its abbreviation is Sasshū ( 薩州 ) . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Historical districts 3 See also 4 Notes 5 References 6 External links History ( edit ) Satsuma earthenware tea storage jar ( chatsubo ) with paulownia and thunder pattern , late Edo period , circa 1800 - 1850 Satsuma 's provincial capital was Satsumasendai . During the Sengoku period , Satsuma was a fief of the Shimazu daimyō , who ruled much of southern Kyūshū from their castle at Kagoshima city . They were the initial patrons of Satsuma ware , which was later widely exported to the West . In 1871 , with the abolition of feudal domains and the establishment of prefectures after the Meiji Restoration , the provinces of Satsuma and Ōsumi were combined to eventually establish Kagoshima Prefecture . Satsuma was one of the main provinces that rose in opposition to the Tokugawa shogunate in the mid 19th century . Because of this , the oligarchy that came into power after the Meiji Restoration of 1868 had a strong representation from the Satsuma province , with leaders such as Ōkubo Toshimichi and Saigō Takamori taking up key government positions . Satsuma is well known for its production of sweet potatoes , known in Japan as 薩摩芋 ( satsuma - imo or `` Satsuma potato '' ) . On the other hand , Satsuma mandarins ( known as mikan in Japan ) do not specifically originate from Satsuma but were imported into the West through this province in the Meiji era .

Contents ( hide ) 1 Influence 2 Disney icon 3 Jazz 4 Lawsuit 5 References 6 External links Influence ( edit ) The American Film Institute ranked `` When You Wish Upon a Star '' seventh in their 100 Greatest Songs in Film History , the highest ranked Disney animated film song , and also one of only four Disney animated film songs to appear on the list , the others being `` Someday My Prince Will Come '' from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs ranked at No. 19 , `` Beauty and the Beast '' from Beauty and the Beast ranked at No. 62 , and `` Hakuna Matata '' from The Lion King , ranked at No. 99 . The song reached the top one in Billboard 's Record Buying Guide , a predecessor of the retail sales chart . Popular versions in 1940 were by Glenn Miller ( vocal by Ray Eberle ) , Guy Lombardo ( vocal by Carmen Lombardo ) , Horace Heidt and Cliff Edwards . It has been recorded by many other artists since then . In Japan , Sweden , Finland , Norway , and Denmark , the song has become a Christmas song , often referring to the Star of Bethlehem . The Swedish language version is called `` Ser du stjärnan i det blå '' , roughly translated : `` Do you see the star in the blue '' , and the Danish title is `` Når du ser et stjerneskud '' , which translates as `` When you see a shooting star '' . In Denmark , Sweden , Finland and Norway the song is played on television every Christmas Eve in the traditional Disney one - hour Christmas cabaret From All of Us to All of You , and the gathering of the entire family to watch this is considered a Scandinavian tradition . The Library Of Congress deemed the song `` culturally , historically , or aesthetically significant '' and preserved it into the National Recording Registry in 2009 . Brian Wilson admits that the melody of the Beach Boys hit song , `` Surfer Girl '' , which has the same AABA form , is loosely based on the Dion and the Belmonts version of `` When You Wish Upon a Star '' . Disney icon ( edit ) `` When You Wish Upon a Star '' , along with Mickey Mouse , has become an icon of The Walt Disney Company . In the 1950s and 1960s , Walt Disney used the song in the opening sequences of all the editions of the Walt Disney anthology television series . It has also been used to accompany the Walt Disney Pictures opening logos -- including the present - day logo -- since the 1980s . The ships of the Disney Cruise Line use the first seven notes of the song 's melody as their horn signals . Additionally , many productions at Disney theme parks -- particularly fireworks shows and parades -- employ the song . Jazz ( edit ) The piece has become a jazz standard . It has been performed by artists including Louis Armstrong , June Christy , Dave Brubeck Quartet , Glenn Miller , Shakatak , Harry James , Joe Pass , the Keith Jarrett Trio , the Manhattan Transfer , Sun Ra , Jason Becker , Leon Redbone , Gregory Porter , Bill Evans and Shirley Bassey . Lawsuit ( edit ) The owner of the rights to the song , Bourne Co . Music Publishers , sued Twentieth Century Fox Film Corp. , Fox Broadcasting Company , Fuzzy Door Productions , Cartoon Network , Walter Murphy and Seth MacFarlane to try to stop distribution of a 2003 Family Guy episode entitled `` When You Wish Upon a Weinstein '' that parodies the song in a version called `` I Need a Jew '' . A federal judge ruled against Bourne Co , stating that a parody of the song did not infringe on the company 's copyright . References ( edit ) ^ Jump up to : Roberts , David ( 2006 ) .

The krone ( ˈkruːnə ) ( sign : kr ; code : NOK ) , plural kroner , is the currency of Norway and its dependent territories . It is subdivided into 100 øre , which exist only electronically since 2012 . The name translates into English as crown . The krone was the thirteenth most traded currency in the world by value in April 2010 , down three positions from 2007 .

The text ' 124 Stk. 1 Kil . f . G . ' means that 124 pieces gave one kilogram of pure gold The krone was introduced in 1875 , replacing the Norwegian speciedaler / spesidaler at a rate of 4 kroner = 1 speciedaler . In doing so , Norway joined the Scandinavian Monetary Union , which had been established in 1873 . The Union persisted until 1914 . After its dissolution , Denmark , Norway , and Sweden all decided to keep the names of their respective and since then separate currencies . Within the Scandinavian Monetary Union , the krone was on a gold standard of 2,480 kroner = 1 kilogram of pure gold ( 1 krone = 403.226 milligrams gold ) . This gold standard was restored between 1916 and 1920 and again in 1928 . It was suspended permanently in 1931 , when a peg to the British pound of 19.9 kroner = 1 pound was established . ( The previous rate had been 18.16 kroner = 1 pound ) . In 1939 , Norway pegged the krone temporarily to the U.S. dollar at a rate of 4.4 kroner = 1 dollar . Nonetheless , Norway would continue to hold the Kingdom 's gold reserves . During the German occupation ( 1940 -- 1945 ) in the Second World War , the krone was initially pegged to the Reichsmark at a rate of 1 krone = 0.6 Reichsmark , later reduced to 0.57 . After the war , a rate of 20 kroner = 1 pound ( 4.963 kroner = 1 U.S. dollar ) was established . The rate to the pound was maintained in 1949 , when the pound devalued relative to the U.S. dollar , leading to a rate of 7.142 kroner = 1 U.S. dollar . In December 1992 , the Central Bank of Norway abandoned the fixed exchange rate in favor of a floating exchange rate ( managed float ) due to the heavy speculation against the Norwegian currency in the early 1990s , which lost the central bank around two billion kroner in defensive purchases of the NOK through usage of foreign currency reserves for a relatively short period of time . Coins ( edit ) In 1875 , coins were introduced ( some dated 1874 ) in denominations of 10 and 50 øre and 1 and 10 kroner . These coins also bore the denomination in the previous currency , as 3 , 15 , and 30 skillings and 21⁄2 specidaler . Between 1875 and 1878 , the new coinage was introduced in full , in denominations of 1 , 2 , 5 , 10 , 25 , and 50 øre and 1 , 2 , and 10 kroner . The 1 , 2 , and 5 øre were struck in bronze ; the 10 , 25 , and 50 øre and 1 and 2 kroner , in silver ; and the 10 and 20 kroner , in gold . Coins of the NOK as of 2015 The last gold coins were issued in 1910 ; silver was replaced by cupro - nickel from 1920 . Between 1917 and 1921 , iron temporarily replaced bronze . 1917 also saw the last issuance of 2 kroner coins . During the German occupation of Norway in the Second World War , zinc was used in place of cupro - nickel in 10 , 25 , and 50 øre coins , and production of the 1 krone piece was suspended . The obverse of a 1940 Norwegian krone . The reverse of the 1940 krone . In 1963 , 5 kroner coins were introduced . Production of 1 and 2 øre coins ceased in 1972 . The following year , the size of the 5 øre coin was reduced ; production of the denomination ceased in 1982 , along with minting of the 25 øre . Ten - kroner coins were introduced in 1983 . In 1992 , the last 10 øre coins were minted . Between 1994 and 1998 , a new coinage was introduced , consisting of 50 øre , 1 , 5 , 10 , and 20 kroner . These are the only coins which are currently legal tender , with the exception of the 50 - øre coin which was withdrawn on 1 May 2012 . It was withdrawn because it was no longer circulating as an ordinary coin used for payment . However , banks in Norway will still exchange 50 øre coins for higher values until 2022 .

The 10 - and 20 - kroner coins carry the effigy of the current monarch . Previously the 1 - and 5 - kroner coins also carried the royal effigy , but now these denominations are decorated only with stylistic royal or national symbols . The royal motto of the monarch ( King Harald 's motto is Alt for Norge , meaning `` Everything for Norway '' ) is also inscribed on the 10 - kroner coin . Coins and banknotes of the Norwegian krone are distributed by the Central Bank of Norway . Up to 25 coins of any single denomination is considered tvungent betalingsmiddel -- a legally recognized method of payment , in which the intended recipient can not refuse payment , according to Norwegian law . Use of 10 Syrian pound coins in Norway ( edit ) The characteristics of the 10 Syrian pound ( 10 SYP ) coin have been found to so closely resemble the 20 Norwegian kroner ( 20 NOK ) coin that it can fool vending machines , coins - to - cash machines , arcade machines , and any other coin - operated , automated service machine in the country . Whilst they are hardly similar to the naked eye , machines are unable to tell the coins apart , owing to their almost identical weight and size . As of mid February 2017 , 10 Syrian pounds were worth 0.39 Norwegian kroner , making the 20 NOK coin 51.5 times more valuable than the 10 SYP coin . While not easy to find in Norway , the Syrian coins are still used in automated machines there with such frequency that Posten Norge , the Norwegian postal service , decided to close many of their coins - to - cash machines on 18 February 2006 , with plans to develop a system able to differentiate between the two coins . In the summer of 2005 , a Norwegian man was sentenced to 30 days , suspended , for having used Syrian coins in arcade machines in the municipality of Bærum . Banknotes ( edit ) Main article : Banknotes of the Norwegian krone In 1877 , Norges Bank introduced notes for 5 , 10 , 50 , 100 , 500 and 1000 kroner . In 1917 , 1 - krone notes were issued , and 2 - kroner notes were issued between 1918 and 1922 . Because of metal shortages , 1 - and 2 - kroner notes were again issued between 1940 and 1950 . In 1963 , 5 - kroner notes were replaced by coins , with the same happening to the 10 - kroner notes in 1984 . 200 - kroner notes were introduced in 1994 .

In addition to the high level of interest , which increased further on 4 July 2002 , to 7 per cent , the price of oil was high . At the time Norway was the world 's third largest oil exporter . In 2005 , oil prices reached record levels of more than 60 dollars per barrel . Although interest rates had decreased to around 2 per cent , the Norwegian krone grew even stronger . However , in late 2007 and early 2008 , the USD suffered a steady depreciation against all other major currencies . The Norwegian krone was gaining value at the same time ; as a result , the Norwegian krone became stronger than ever compared to the USD , making the USD worth about 5 NOK in April 2008 . By October 2008 , the USD had recovered and was worth approximately 7 NOK . Following 2009 , the NOK has once again seen strong growth , making the USD worth about 5.8 NOK as of the beginning of 2010 . Since then , the USD has gone up further and as of mid 2016 is worth about 8.5 NOK . Current NOK exchange rates From Google Finance : AUD CAD CHF EUR GBP HKD JPY USD INR SEK DKK From Yahoo !

It is also informally accepted in many shops in Sweden and Finland that are close to the Norwegian border , and also in some shops in the Danish ferry ports of Hirtshals and Frederikshavn . Norwegians spent 14.1 billion NOK on border shopping in 2015 compared to 10.5 billion NOK spent in 2010 . Border shopping is a fairly common practice amongst Norwegians , though it is seldom done on impulse . Money is spent mainly on food articles , alcohol and tobacco , in that order , usually in bulk or large quantities . This is due to considerably higher taxes and fees on tobacco and alcohol purchased domestically in Norway .

Endoplasmic reticulum
Endoplasmic reticulum - wikipedia Endoplasmic reticulum Jump to : navigation , search Cell biology The animal cell Components of a typical animal cell : Nucleolus Nucleus Ribosome ( little dots ) Vesicle Rough endoplasmic reticulum Golgi apparatus ( or `` Golgi body '' ) Cytoskeleton Smooth endoplasmic reticulum Mitochondrion Vacuole Cytosol ( fluid that contains organelles , comprising the cytoplasm ) Lysosome Centrosome Cell membrane Micrograph of rough endoplasmic reticulum network around the nucleus ( shown in lower right - hand side of the picture ) . Dark small circles in the network are mitochondria . The endoplasmic reticulum ( ER ) is a type of organelle found in eukaryotic cells that forms an interconnected network of flattened , membrane - enclosed sacs or tube - like structures known as cisternae . The membranes of the ER are continuous with the outer nuclear membrane . The endoplasmic reticulum occurs in most types of eukaryotic cells , but is absent from red blood cells and spermatozoa . There are two types of endoplasmic reticulum : rough and smooth . The outer ( cytosolic ) face of the rough endoplasmic reticulum is studded with ribosomes that are the sites of protein synthesis . The rough endoplasmic reticulum is especially prominent in cells such as hepatocytes . The smooth endoplasmic reticulum lacks ribosomes and functions in lipid manufacture and metabolism , the production of steroid hormones , and detoxification . The smooth ER is especially abundant in mammalian liver and gonad cells . The lacy membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum were first seen in 1945 using electron microscopy .

Porter , Albert Claude , Brody Meskers and Ernest F. Fullam , using electron microscopy . The word reticulum , which means `` network '' , was applied to describe this fabric of membranes . Structure ( edit ) 1 Nucleus 2 Nuclear pore 3 Rough endoplasmic reticulum ( RER ) 4 Smooth endoplasmic reticulum ( SER ) 5 Ribosome on the rough ER 6 Proteins that are transported 7 Transport vesicle 8 Golgi apparatus 9 Cis face of the Golgi apparatus 10 Trans face of the Golgi apparatus 11 Cisternae of the Golgi apparatus 3D rendering of endoplasmic reticulum The general structure of the endoplasmic reticulum is a network of membranes called cisternae . These sac - like structures are held together by the cytoskeleton . The phospholipid membrane encloses the cisternal space ( or lumen ) , which is continuous with the perinuclear space but separate from the cytosol . The functions of the endoplasmic reticulum can be summarized as the synthesis and export of proteins and membrane lipids , but varies between ER and cell type and cell function . The quantity of both rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum in a cell can slowly interchange from one type to the other , depending on the changing metabolic activities of the cell . Transformation can include embedding of new proteins in membrane as well as structural changes . Changes in protein content may occur without noticeable structural changes . Rough endoplasmic reticulum ( edit ) An animation showing how a protein destined for the secretory pathway is synthesized into the rough endoplasmic reticulum ( which appears at upper right in animation when approximately half of animation is done ) . The total animation time is about 2 minutes . The surface of the rough endoplasmic reticulum ( often abbreviated RER or Rough ER ) ( also called granular endoplasmic reticulum ) is studded with protein - manufacturing ribosomes giving it a `` rough '' appearance ( hence its name ) . The binding site of the ribosome on the rough endoplasmic reticulum is the translocon . However , the ribosomes are not a stable part of this organelle 's structure as they are constantly being bound and released from the membrane . A ribosome only binds to the RER once a specific protein - nucleic acid complex forms in the cytosol . This special complex forms when a free ribosome begins translating the mRNA of a protein destined for the secretory pathway . The first 5 -- 30 amino acids polymerized encode a signal peptide , a molecular message that is recognized and bound by a signal recognition particle ( SRP ) . Translation pauses and the ribosome complex binds to the RER translocon where translation continues with the nascent ( new ) protein forming into the RER lumen and / or membrane . The protein is processed in the ER lumen by an enzyme ( a signal peptidase ) , which removes the signal peptide . Ribosomes at this point may be released back into the cytosol ; however , non-translating ribosomes are also known to stay associated with translocons . The membrane of the rough endoplasmic reticulum forms large double membrane sheets that are located near , and continuous with , the outer layer of the nuclear envelope . The double membrane sheets are stacked and connected through several right or left - handed helical ramps , the so - called Terasaki ramps , giving rise to a structure resembling a multi-storey car park . Although there is no continuous membrane between the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus , membrane - bound transport vesicles shuttle proteins between these two compartments . Vesicles are surrounded by coating proteins called COPI and COPII . COPII targets vesicles to the Golgi apparatus and COPI marks them to be brought back to the rough endoplasmic reticulum . The rough endoplasmic reticulum works in concert with the Golgi complex to target new proteins to their proper destinations . A second method of transport out of the endoplasmic reticulum involves areas called membrane contact sites , where the membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum and other organelles are held closely together , allowing the transfer of lipids and other small molecules . The rough endoplasmic reticulum is key in multiple functions : Manufacture of lysosomal enzymes with a mannose - 6 - phosphate marker added in the cis - Golgi network . Manufacture of secreted proteins , either secreted constitutively with no tag or secreted in a regulatory manner involving clathrin and paired basic amino acids in the signal peptide . Integral membrane proteins that stay embedded in the membrane as vesicles exit and bind to new membranes . Rab proteins are key in targeting the membrane ; SNAP and SNARE proteins are key in the fusion event . Initial glycosylation as assembly continues . This is N - linked ( O - linking occurs in the Golgi ) . N - linked glycosylation : If the protein is properly folded , Oligosaccharyltransferase recognizes the AA sequence N X S or N X T ( with the S / T residue phosphorylated ) and adds a 14 - sugar backbone ( 2 - N - acetylglucosamine , 9 - branching mannose , and 3 - glucose at the end ) to the side - chain nitrogen of Asn . Smooth endoplasmic reticulum ( edit ) Electromicrograph showing smooth ER ( arrow ) in mouse tissue , at 110,510 x magnification . In most cells the smooth endoplasmic reticulum ( abbreviated SER ) is scarce . Instead there are areas where the ER is partly smooth and partly rough , this area is called the transitional ER . The transitional ER gets its name because it contains ER exit sites . These are areas where the transport vesicles that contain lipids and proteins made in the ER , detach from the ER and start moving to the Golgi apparatus . Specialized cells can have a lot of smooth endoplasmic reticulum and in these cells the smooth ER has many functions . It synthesizes lipids , phospholipids , and steroids . Cells which secrete these products , such as those in the testes , ovaries , and sebaceous glands have an abundance of smooth endoplasmic reticulum . It also carries out the metabolism of carbohydrates , detoxification of natural metabolism products and of alcohol and drugs , attachment of receptors on cell membrane proteins , and steroid metabolism . In muscle cells , it regulates calcium ion concentration . Smooth endoplasmic reticulum is found in a variety of cell types ( both animal and plant ) , and it serves different functions in each . The smooth endoplasmic reticulum also contains the enzyme glucose - 6 - phosphatase , which converts glucose - 6 - phosphate to glucose , a step in gluconeogenesis . It is connected to the nuclear envelope and consists of tubules that are located near the cell periphery . These tubes sometimes branch forming a network that is reticular in appearance . In some cells , there are dilated areas like the sacs of rough endoplasmic reticulum . The network of smooth endoplasmic reticulum allows for an increased surface area to be devoted to the action or storage of key enzymes and the products of these enzymes . Sarcoplasmic reticulum ( edit ) Main article : Sarcoplasmic reticulum See also : Calcium - induced calcium release Skeletal muscle fiber , with sarcoplasmic reticulum colored in blue . The sarcoplasmic reticulum ( SR ) , from the Greek σάρξ sarx ( `` flesh '' ) , is smooth ER found in myocytes . The only structural difference between this organelle and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum is the medley of proteins they have , both bound to their membranes and drifting within the confines of their lumens . This fundamental difference is indicative of their functions : The endoplasmic reticulum synthesizes molecules , while the sarcoplasmic reticulum stores calcium ions and pumps them out into the sarcoplasm when the muscle fiber is stimulated . After their release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum , calcium ions interact with contractile proteins that utilize ATP to shorten the muscle fiber . The sarcoplasmic reticulum plays a major role in excitation - contraction coupling . Functions ( edit ) The endoplasmic reticulum serves many general functions , including the folding of protein molecules in sacs called cisternae and the transport of synthesized proteins in vesicles to the Golgi apparatus . Correct folding of newly made proteins is made possible by several endoplasmic reticulum chaperone proteins , including protein disulfide isomerase ( PDI ) , ERp29 , the Hsp70 family member BiP / Grp78 , calnexin , calreticulin , and the peptidylpropyl isomerase family . Only properly folded proteins are transported from the rough ER to the Golgi apparatus -- unfolded proteins cause an unfolded protein response as a stress response in the ER . Disturbances in redox regulation , calcium regulation , glucose deprivation , and viral infection or the over-expression of proteins can lead to endoplasmic reticulum stress response ( ER stress ) , a state in which the folding of proteins slows , leading to an increase in unfolded proteins . This stress is emerging as a potential cause of damage in hypoxia / ischemia , insulin resistance , and other disorders . Protein transport ( edit ) Secretory proteins , mostly glycoproteins , are moved across the endoplasmic reticulum membrane . Proteins that are transported by the endoplasmic reticulum throughout the cell are marked with an address tag called a signal sequence . The N - terminus ( one end ) of a polypeptide chain ( i.e. , a protein ) contains a few amino acids that work as an address tag , which are removed when the polypeptide reaches its destination . Nascent peptides reach the ER via the translocon , a membrane - embedded multiprotein complex . Proteins that are destined for places outside the endoplasmic reticulum are packed into transport vesicles and moved along the cytoskeleton toward their destination . In human fibroblasts , the ER is always co-distributed with microtubules and the depolymerisation of the latter cause its co-aggregation with mitochondria , which are also associated with the ER . The endoplasmic reticulum is also part of a protein sorting pathway . It is , in essence , the transportation system of the eukaryotic cell . The majority of its resident proteins are retained within it through a retention motif . This motif is composed of four amino acids at the end of the protein sequence . The most common retention sequences are KDEL for lumen located proteins and KKXX for transmembrane protein . However , variations of KDEL and KKXX do occur , and other sequences can also give rise to endoplasmic reticulum retention . It is not known whether such variation can lead to sub-ER localizations . There are three KDEL ( 1 , 2 and 3 ) receptors in mammalian cells , and they have a very high degree of sequence identity . The functional differences between these receptors remain to be established . Clinical significance ( edit ) Abnormalities in XBP1 lead to a heightened endoplasmic reticulum stress response and subsequently causes a higher susceptibility for inflammatory processes that may even contribute to Alzheimer 's disease . In the colon , XBP1 anomalies have been linked to the inflammatory bowel diseases including Crohn 's disease . The unfolded protein response ( UPR ) is a cellular stress response related to the endoplasmic reticulum . The UPR is activated in response to an accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum . The UPR functions to restore normal function of the cell by halting protein translation , degrading misfolded proteins , and activating the signaling pathways that lead to increasing the production of molecular chaperones involved in protein folding . Sustained overactivation of the UPR has been implicated in prion diseases as well as several other neurodegenerative diseases and the inhibition of the UPR could become a treatment for those diseases .

what describes a function of the endoplasmic reticulum within a cell
[ "The general structure of the endoplasmic reticulum is a network of membranes called cisternae. These sac-like structures are held together by the cytoskeleton. The phospholipid membrane encloses the cisternal space (or lumen), which is continuous with the perinuclear space but separate from the cytosol. The functions of the endoplasmic reticulum can be summarized as the synthesis and export of proteins and membrane lipids, but varies between ER and cell type and cell function. The quantity of both rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum in a cell can slowly interchange from one type to the other, depending on the changing metabolic activities of the cell. Transformation can include embedding of new proteins in membrane as well as structural changes. Changes in protein content may occur without noticeable structural changes.[3][4][citation needed]" ]

( July 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Hair transplantation A graft transplantation to cover the scar of a hidradenitis suppurativa operation on the back of the head ( edit on Wikidata ) Hair transplantation is a surgical technique that removes hair follicles from one part of the body , called the ' donor site ' , to a bald or balding part of the body known as the ' recipient site ' . The technique is primarily used to treat male pattern baldness . In this minimally invasive procedure , grafts containing hair follicles that are genetically resistant to balding ( like the back of the head ) are transplanted to the bald scalp . Hair transplantation can also be used to restore eyelashes , eyebrows , beard hair , chest hair , pubic hair and to fill in scars caused by accidents or surgery such as face - lifts and previous hair transplants . Hair transplantation differs from skin grafting in that grafts contain almost all of the epidermis and dermis surrounding the hair follicle , and many tiny grafts are transplanted rather than a single strip of skin . Since hair naturally grows in groupings of 1 to 4 hairs , current techniques harvest and transplant hair `` follicular units '' in their natural groupings . Thus modern hair transplantation can achieve a natural appearance by mimicking original hair orientation . This hair transplant procedure is called follicular unit transplantation ( FUT ) . Donor hair can be harvested in two different ways : strip harvesting , and follicular unit extraction ( FUE ) .

Pre-operative folliscopy will help to know the actual existing density of hair , so that postoperative results of newly transplanted hair grafts can be accurately assessed . Some patients may benefit with preoperative topical minoxidil application and vitamins . For several days prior to surgery the patient refrains from using any medicines which might result in intraoperative bleeding and resultant poor grafting . Alcohol and smoking can contribute to poor graft survival . Post operative antibiotics are commonly prescribed to prevent wound or graft infections . Harvesting methods Transplant operations are performed on an outpatient basis , with mild sedation ( optional ) and injected local anesthesia . The scalp is shampooed and then treated with an antibacterial agent prior to the donor scalp being harvested . There are several different techniques for harvesting hair follicles , each with their own advantages and disadvantages . Regardless of the harvesting technique , proper extraction of the hair follicle is paramount to ensure the viability of the transplanted hair and avoid transection , the cutting of the hair shaft from the hair follicle . Hair follicles grow at a slight angle to the skin 's surface , so transplanted tissue must be removed at a corresponding angle . There are two main ways in which donor grafts are extracted today : strip excision harvesting , and follicular unit extraction . Strip harvesting Strip harvesting is the most common technique for removing hair and follicles from a donor site . The surgeon harvests a strip of skin from the posterior scalp , in an area of good hair growth . A single - , double - , or triple - bladed scalpel is used to remove strips of hair - bearing tissue from the donor site . Each incision is planned so that intact hair follicles are removed . The excised strip is about 1 -- 1.5 x 15 -- 30 cm in size . While closing the resulting wound , assistants begin to dissect individual follicular unit grafts , which are small , naturally formed groupings of hair follicles , from the strip . Working with binocular Stereo - microscopes , they carefully remove excess fibrous and fatty tissue while trying to avoid damage to the follicular cells that will be used for grafting . The latest method of closure is called ' Trichophytic closure ' which results in much finer scars at the donor area . The surgeon then uses very small micro blades or fine needles to puncture the sites for receiving the grafts , placing them in a predetermined density and pattern , and angling the wounds in a consistent fashion to promote a realistic hair pattern . The technicians generally do the final part of the procedure , inserting the individual grafts in place . Strip harvesting will leave a thin linear scar in the donor area , which is typically covered by a patient 's hair even at relatively short lengths . The recovery period is around 2 weeks and will require the stitches / staples to be removed by medical personnel or sub cuticular suturing can be done . Follicular unit extraction ( FUE ) With Follicular Unit Extraction or FUE harvesting , individual follicular units containing 1 to 4 hairs are removed under local anesthesia ; this micro removal typically uses tiny punches of between 0.6 mm and 1.0 mm in diameter . The surgeon then uses very small micro blades or fine needles to puncture the sites for receiving the grafts , placing them in a predetermined density and pattern , and angling the wounds in a consistent fashion to promote a realistic hair pattern . The technicians generally do the final part of the procedure , inserting the individual grafts in place . FUE takes place in a single long session or multiple small sessions . The FUE procedure is more time consuming than strip surgery . An FUE surgery time varies according to the surgeons experience , speed in harvesting and patient characteristics . The procedue can take anywhere from a couple hours to extract 200 grafts for a scar correction to a surgery over two consecutive days for a megasession of 2,500 to 3,000 grafts . With the FUE Hair Transplant procedure there are restrictions on patient candidacy . Clients are selected for FUE based on a fox test , though there is some debate about the usefulness of this in screening clients for FUE . FUE can give very natural results . The advantage over strip harvesting is that FUE harvesting negates the need for large areas of scalp tissue to be harvested , so there is no linear incision on the back of the head and it does n't leave a linear scar . Because individual follicles are removed , only small , punctate scars remain which are virtually not visible and any post-surgical pain and discomfort is minimized . As no suture removal is required , recovery from Micro Grafting FUE is less than 7 days . Disadvantages include increased surgical times and higher cost to the patient . It is challenging for new surgeons because the procedure is physically demanding and the learning curve to acquire the skills necessary is lengthy and tough . Some surgeons note that FUE can lead to a lower ratio of successfully transplanted follicles as compared to strip harvesting . Follicular unit transplant Follicular unit transplant ( FUT ) is the traditional hair transplant method which involves extracting a linear strip of hair bearing skin from the back or the side of the scalp . The strip is then dissected to separate individual grafts . Robotic hair restoration Robotic hair restoration devices utilize cameras and robotic arms to assist the surgeon with the FUE procedure . In 2009 , NeoGraft became the first robotic surgical device FDA approved for hair restoration . The ARTAS System was FDA approved in 2011 for use in harvesting follicular units from brown - haired and black - haired men . Despite the advantages of robotic hair restoration systems , there are still some disadvantages such as the size of the punches being relatively large in comparison to what is used in other methods of FUE , and the high costs associated with the devices . Types of surgery There are a number of applications for hair transplant surgery , including : Androgenetic alopecia Eyebrow transplant Frontal hair line lowering or reconstruction ( naturally high hairlines without an existing hair loss condition ) If donor hair numbers from the back of the head are insufficient , it is possible to perform body hair transplantation ( BHT ) on appropriate candidates who have available donor hair on the chest , back , shoulders , torso and / or legs . Body hair transplant surgery can only be performed by the FUE harvesting method and , so , requires the skills of an experienced FUE surgeon . However , there are several factors for a potential BHT candidate to consider prior to surgery . These include understanding the natural difference in textural characteristics between body hair and scalp hair , growth rates , and having realistic expectations about the results of BHT surgery . Postoperative care Advances in wound care allow for semi-permeable dressing , which allow seepage of blood and tissue fluid , to be applied and changed at least daily . The vulnerable recipient area must be shielded from the sun , and shampooing is started two days after the surgery . Some surgeons will have the patient shampoo the day after surgery . Shampooing is important to prevent scabs from forming around the hair shaft . Scabs adhere to the hair shaft and increase the risk of losing newly transplanted hair follicles during the first 7 to 10 days post-op . During the first ten days , some of the transplanted hairs , inevitably traumatized by their relocation , may fall out . This is referred to as `` shock loss '' . After two to three months new hair will begin to grow from the moved follicles . The patient 's hair will grow normally , and continue to thicken through the next six to nine months . Any subsequent hair loss is likely to be only from untreated areas . Some patients elect to use medications to retard such loss , while others plan a subsequent transplant procedure to deal with this eventuality . Side effects Hair thinning , known as `` shock loss '' , is a common side effect that is usually temporary . Bald patches are also common , as fifty to a hundred hairs can be lost each day . Post-operative hiccups have also been seen in around 5 % of transplant patients . History The use of both scalp flaps , in which a band of tissue with its original blood supply is shifted to the continue bald area , and free grafts dates back to the 19th century . In 1897 , Menahem Hodara successfully implanted hair taken from the unaffected areas of the scalp on to the scars that were left bald by favus . Modern transplant techniques began in Japan in the 1930s , where surgeons used small grafts , and even `` follicular unit grafts '' to replace damaged areas of eyebrows or lashes , but not to treat baldness . Their efforts did not receive worldwide attention at the time , and the traumas of World War II kept their advances isolated for another two decades . The modern era of hair transplantation in the western world was ushered in the late 1950s , when New York dermatologist Norman Orentreich began to experiment with free donor grafts to balding areas in patients with male pattern baldness . Previously it had been thought that transplanted hair would thrive no more than the original hair at the `` recipient '' site . Orentreich demonstrated that such grafts were `` donor dominant , '' as the new hairs grew and lasted just as they would have at their original home . Advancing the theory of donor dominance , Walter P. Unger , M.D. defined the parameters of the `` Safe Donor Zone '' from which the most permanent hair follicles could be extracted for hair transplantation . As transplanted hair will only grow in its new site for as long as it would have in its original one , these parameters continue to serve as the fundamental foundation for hair follicle harvesting , whether by strip method or FUE . For the next twenty years , surgeons worked on transplanting smaller grafts , but results were only minimally successful , with 2 -- 4 mm `` plugs '' leading to a doll 's head - like appearance . In the 1980s , strip excisions began to replace the plug technique , and Carlos Uebel in Brazil popularized using large numbers of small grafts , while in the United States William Rassman began using thousands of `` micrografts '' in a single session . In the late 1980s , B.L. Limmer introduced the use of the stereo - microscope to dissect a single donor strip into small micrografts . The follicular unit hair transplant procedure has continued to evolve , becoming more refined and minimally invasive as the size of the graft incisions have become smaller . These smaller and less invasive incisions enable surgeons to place a larger number of follicular unit grafts into a given area . With the new `` gold standard '' of ultra refined follicular unit hair transplantation , over 50 grafts can be placed per square centimeter , when appropriate for the patient . Surgeons have also devoted more attention to the angle and orientation of the transplanted grafts . The adoption of the `` lateral slit '' technique in the early 2000s , enabled hair transplant surgeons to orient 2 to 4 hair follicular unit grafts so that they splay out across the scalp 's surface . This enabled the transplanted hair to lie better on the scalp and provide better coverage to the bald areas . One disadvantage however , is that lateral incisions also tend to disrupt the scalp 's vascularity more than sagittals . Thus sagittal incisions transect less hairs and blood vessels assuming the cutting instruments are of the same size . One of the big advantages of sagittals is that they do a much better job of sliding in and around existing hairs to avoid follicle transection . This certainly makes a strong case for physicians who do not require shaving of the recipient area . The lateral incisions bisect existing hairs perpendicular ( horizontal ) like a T while sagittal incisions run parallel ( vertical ) alongside and in between existing hairs . The use of perpendicular ( lateral / coronal ) slits versus parallel ( sagittal ) slits , however , has been heavily debated in patient - based hair transplant communities . Many elite hair transplant surgeons typically adopt a combination of both methods based on what is best for the individual patient . Research and future techniques Stem cells and dermal papilla cells have been discovered in hair follicles . Research on these follicular cells may lead to successes in treating baldness through hair multiplication ( HM ) , also known as hair cloning .

The father , Tom Bradford , was a newspaper columnist for the fictional Sacramento Register . His wife Joan ( Diana Hyland ) took care of the children . Hyland was only in four episodes before falling ill ; she was written out for the remainder of the first season and died five days after the second episode aired . The second season began in the fall of 1977 with the revelation that Tom had become a widower . Tom fell in love with Sandra Sue `` Abby '' Abbott , ( Betty Buckley ) a schoolteacher who came to the house to tutor Tommy who had broken his leg in a football game . They were married in one of the series ' TV movie broadcasts on November 9 , 1977 . The role went to Buckley after being approved by network chief Brandon Tartikoff , who felt the character of the sympathetic teacher she had played in the 1976 film Carrie would also be great for the series . In another TV movie event in September 1979 , David and Susan were both married in a double wedding . As the series progressed , Abby got her Ph. D. in education and started a job counseling students at the local high school , oldest daughter Mary became a doctor , and second - youngest son Tommy became a singer in a rock - and - roll band .

When ABC screened the pilot they were unhappy with a couple of performances . Beck and English were let go and replaced by Dianne Kay and Willie Aames . Hamill sought to get out of his contract on Eight Is Enough to take the opportunity to star in George Lucas ' Star Wars . His request was rejected by Lorimar Productions as he had signed a five - year - contract with them . However , in December 1976 Hamill had been involved in a car crash that resulted in his needing reconstructive facial surgery . By the time ABC had greenlit the series , Hamill was still hospitalized and unavailable . They let him out of his contract and the role was re-cast with Grant Goodeve now playing David for the series .

Bottom row : Rich , O'Grady , and Aames Recurring ( edit ) Brian Patrick Clarke -- Merle `` The Pearl '' Stockwell ( 1979 -- 1981 ) Jennifer Darling -- Donna ( 1977 -- 1981 ) Janis Paige -- Vivian `` Auntie V '' Bradford ( 1977 -- 1980 ) Michael Goodrow -- Ernie Fields ( 1979 -- 1981 ) James Karen -- Eliot Randolph Ralph Macchio -- Jeremy Andretti ( 1980 -- 1981 ) Joan Prather -- Janet McArthur Bradford ( 1977 -- 1981 ) Michael Thoma -- Dr. Greg Maxwell ( 1977 -- 1981 ) Virginia Vincent -- Daisy Maxwell ( 1977 -- 1981 ) Production ( edit ) The show was developed by writer William Blinn and was a Lorimar Production . It was originally distributed by Worldvision Enterprises . For the first three years the show filmed interior scenes at The Burbank Studios now known as the Warner Bros. Ranch . From the fourth season the show filmed interiors at MGM Studios in Culver City . The home featured in the exterior shots was on Chiquita St , near Lankershim Boulevard in Los Angeles . The house has since been demolished and replaced . The interiors were filmed on two separate sound stages at the studio : one for the main floor and one for the upstairs . The show 's team of producers included Robert L. Jacks , Gary Adelson , Greg Strangis , and Phil Fehrle . Executive producers were Lee Rich and Philip Capice . As a production of the Lorimar stable , who were concurrently producing CBS 's The Waltons , writers were often contracted by the producers and were shared between both programs . ( Waltons costar Will Geer also made an Eight is Enough guest appearance during season 2 . ) Regular writers included Peter Lefcourt , the writing teams of Gwen Bagni and Paul Dubov , Rod Peterson and Claire Whittaker , Bill Nuss and Dusty Kay , Nick Thiel and David Braff , J. Miyoko Hensley and Steven Hensley , Bruce Shelly , Sandra Kay Siegel , Gil Grant , Karen I. Hall , and Hindi Brooks , who soon became the show 's long - time story editor . In - house directors included Philip Leacock , Harry Harris , and Irving J. Moore . As an in - joke , the character name of one of Nicholas Bradford 's best friends was Irving Julius Moore , a nod to the director of the same name whose middle name was in fact Joseph . Music ( edit ) Theme ( edit ) For the show 's first two seasons , an upbeat instrumental piece written by Fred Werner was used as the show 's opening theme . Beginning with the show 's third season , this was replaced by a slowed - down vocal theme titled `` Eight Is Enough , '' which was sung by series co-star Grant Goodeve . The song had music by Lee Holdridge and lyrics by Molly - Ann Leikin , and was first heard in a longer arrangement on the last episode of the second season titled `` Who 's on First ? '' , which was also performed by Goodeve . Score ( edit ) Early episodes had instrumental music by Fred Werner and the prolific Alexander Courage , but the show 's real musical stamp came from veteran composer Earle Hagen , who had a knack of composing memorable cues as he had previously been the in - house composer on The Andy Griffith Show . He composed a love theme for Tom and Abby , a theme that permeated the show in various incarnations throughout the remainder of the series . Some later episodes were scored by John Beal and Miles Goodman . In 1980 there was a writer 's strike in Hollywood , and one of the offshoots of this industry problem was making cost cutting measures in the music department on the show . Some of the later episodes were tracked with a combination of uncredited library music and with some original music by those of the aforementioned Messrs. Hagen , Beal , and Goodman . Reception and cancellation ( edit ) The series jump - started acting careers for several of its young stars . It cemented teen idol status for Grant Goodeve ( David ) , Willie Aames ( Tommy ) , and Ralph Macchio , who played Abby 's orphaned nephew Jeremy later in the show 's last season . Aames would go on to star with Scott Baio in Charles in Charge . Goodeve started a minor singing career , following his rendition of the show 's theme song ( see `` Theme music '' ) and initially hosted HGTV 's If Walls Could Talk . Macchio would gain the most fame in feature films such as The Karate Kid and its sequels , as well as My Cousin Vinny . After the end of the show 's fifth season ( 112 hour episodes ) , production costs and declining ratings caused the show to be canceled , along with seven other shows that season ( including The Waltons ) . Variety 's headline on the cancellation stated , `` Eight Shows In , Eight Shows Out '' . In a 2000 episode of E ! True Hollywood Story , Dick Van Patten stated that no one contacted him to inform him of the cancellation . Instead , he read about it in a newspaper . The series had two reunion movies on NBC . In An Eight Is Enough Reunion on October 18 , 1987 , Mary Frann replaced Betty Buckley as Abby ; Buckley had been filming Frantic during its production . This was followed by An Eight Is Enough Wedding on October 22 , 1989 , this time with Sandy Faison as Abby . By coincidence , both movies aired opposite game two of the World Series on ABC .

who sang the eight is enough theme song
[ "For the show's first two seasons, an upbeat instrumental piece written by Fred Werner was used as the show's opening theme. Beginning with the show's third season, this was replaced by a slowed-down vocal theme titled \"Eight Is Enough,\" which was sung by series co-star Grant Goodeve. The song had music by Lee Holdridge and lyrics by Molly-Ann Leikin, and was first heard in a longer arrangement on the last episode of the second season titled \"Who's on First?\", which was also performed by Goodeve." ]

Cricket ball
Cricket ball - wikipedia Cricket ball Jump to : navigation , search A cricket ball A cricket ball is a hard , solid ball used to play cricket . A cricket ball consists of cork covered by leather , and manufacture is regulated by cricket law at first - class level . The manipulation of a cricket ball , through employment of its various physical properties , is a staple component of bowling and dismissing batsmen . Movement in the air , and off the ground , is influenced by the condition of the ball , the efforts of the bowler and the pitch , while working on the cricket ball to obtain optimum condition is a key role of the fielding side . The cricket ball is the principal manner through which the batsman scores runs , by manipulating the ball into a position where it would be safe to take a run , or by directing the ball through or over the boundary . In day Test cricket , professional domestic games that spread over a multitude of days , and almost the entirety of amateur cricket , the traditional red cricket ball is normally used . In many one day cricket matches , a white ball is used instead in order to remain visible under floodlights , and since 2010 , pink has been introduced to contrast with players ' white clothing and for improved night visibility during day / night Test matches . Training balls of white , red and pink are also common , and tennis balls and other similar - sized balls can be used for training or informal cricket matches . During cricket matches , the quality of the ball changes to a point where it is no longer usable , and during this decline its properties alter and thus can influence the match . Altering the state of the cricket ball outside the permitted manners designated in the rules of cricket is prohibited during a match , and so - called `` ball tampering '' has resulted in numerous controversies . Injuries and fatalities have been caused by cricket balls during matches . The hazards posed by cricket balls were a key motivator for the introduction of protective equipment . Contents ( hide ) 1 Manufacture 2 Use 3 Condition of a cricket ball 4 Dangers of cricket balls 5 Alternatives to cricket balls 6 See also 7 Notes 8 Further reading 9 External links Manufacture ( edit ) British Standard BS 5993 specifies the construction details , dimensions , quality and performance of cricket balls . A cricket ball is made with a core of cork , which is layered with tightly wound string , and covered by a leather case with a slightly raised sewn seam . In a top - quality ball suitable for the highest levels of competition , the covering is constructed of four pieces of leather shaped similar to the peel of a quartered orange , but one hemisphere is rotated by 90 degrees with respect to the other . The `` equator '' of the ball is stitched with string to form the ball 's prominent seam , with six rows of stitches . The remaining two joins between the leather pieces are stitched internally . Lower - quality balls with a two - piece covering are also popular for practice and lower - level competition due to their lower cost . Cricket ball specifications Weight Circumference Men , and boys 13 and over 5.5 to 5.75 oz ( 156 to 163 g ) 8.81 to 9 in ( 224 to 229 mm ) Women , and girls 13 and over 4.94 to 5.31 oz ( 140 to 151 g ) 8.25 to 8.88 in ( 210 to 226 mm ) Children under 13 4.69 to 5.06 oz ( 133 to 143 g ) 8.06 to 8.69 in ( 205 to 221 mm ) Younger children A plastic ball such as a `` Kwik cricket ball '' is often used The nature of the cricket ball slightly varies with its manufacturer . White Kookaburra balls are used in one - day and Twenty20 international matches , while red Kookaburras are used in test matches played in most of the ten test - playing nations , except for the West Indies and England , who use Dukes , and India , who use SG balls . Use ( edit ) White balls are used in many limited overs cricket matches , especially those involving floodlights ( day / night games ) . This is because a red ball under yellow floodlights takes on a brownish colour which is very similar to the colour of the pitch . A pink cricket ball . Pink balls deteriorate more slowly than white balls , but have better night visibility than red balls , making them the most suitable ball for day - night Test cricket . Cricket balls are traditionally red , and red balls are used in Test cricket and First - class cricket . White balls were introduced when one - day matches began being played at night under floodlights , as they are more visible at night ; all professional one - day matches are now played with white balls , even when they are not played at night . The white balls have been found to behave differently to the red balls , most notably that they swing a lot more during the first half of an innings than the red ball , and that they deteriorate more quickly . Manufacturers claim that white and red balls are manufactured using the same methods and materials , other than the dying treatment of the leather . Another problem associated with white cricket balls used in One Day Internationals is that they quickly become dirty or dull in colour , which makes it more difficult for batsmen to sight the ball after 30 - 40 overs of use . Since October 2012 , this has been managed by the use of two new white balls in each innings , with a different ball used from each bowling end ; the same strategy was used in the 1992 and 1996 Cricket World Cups . Between October 2007 and October 2012 , the issue had been managed using one new ball from the start of the innings , then swapping it at the end of the 34th over with a `` reconditioned ball '' , which was neither new nor too dirty to see . Before October 2007 , except during 1992 and 1996 World Cups , only one ball was used during an innings of an ODI and it was the umpires discretion to change the ball if it was difficult to see . Pink balls were developed in the 2000s to enable Tests and first - class matches played at night . The red ball is unsuited to night tests due to poor visibility , and the white ball is unsuited to first - class cricket because its rapid deterioration makes it unable to be used for eighty overs as specified in the rules , so the pink ball was designed to provide a satisfactory compromise on both issues . It is still considered more difficult to see than a white ball ; and the leather is more heavily dyed than in a red ball , which better preserves its colour and visibility as it wears but also gives it slightly different wear characteristics . It has performed well enough in testing and first - class cricket to be approved for use in international cricket . A pink ball was used for the first time in an international match in July 2009 when the England Woman 's team defeated Australia in a one - day match at Wormsley , and a pink ball was used in a day - night Test match for the first time in November 2015 . Other colours were also experimented with , such as yellow and orange ( glowing composite ) , for improved night visibility , but pink proved to be the preferred option . As of 2014 , the ball used in Test match cricket in England has a recommended retail price of 100 pounds sterling . In test match cricket this ball is used for a minimum of 80 overs ( theoretically five hours and twenty minutes of play ) , after which the fielding side has the option of using a new ball . In professional one day cricket , at least two new balls are used for each match . Amateur cricketers often have to use old balls , or cheap substitutes , in which case the changes in the condition of the ball may not be experienced in the same manner as that which occurs during an innings of professional cricket . There are three main manufacturers of cricket ball used in international matches : Kookaburra , Dukes and SG . The manufacturer of the red ( or pink ) balls used for Tests varies depending on location : India uses SG , England and the West Indies use Dukes , and all other countries use Kookaburra . The different manufacturers ' balls behave differently -- e.g. Dukes balls have a prouder seam and will tend to swing more than a Kookaburra ball -- providing a home advantage when playing against a team unfamiliar with the ball . All limited overs international matches , regardless of location , are played with white Kookaburra balls . White Dukes balls were used at the 1999 Cricket World Cup , but the ball behaved more erratically than the Kookaburra and has not since been used . Domestic competitions may use a domestic manufacturer : for example , Pakistan uses Grays balls in its first - class competitions . Cricket balls can be bowled at close to 160 km / h ( 100 mph ) by pace bowlers and made to deviate from a straight course , both in the air ( known as ' swinging ' ) and off the ground ( known as ' seaming ' ) . A spin bowler imparts lateral revolutions on the ball at the point of delivery , so that when it bounces it deviates from a straight course . As cricket bats have become thicker , the ball can now be hit well over 100 metres before touching the ground . Cricket commentator and former Test bowler Simon Doull noted that cricket balls produced after Cricket World Cup 2015 produced a lot less swing regardless of manufacturer . This was said to be apparent in 2017 ICC Champions Trophy , even in traditionally swing - friendly British pitches , particularly with white balls , but the former West - Indian bowler Ian Bishop was unwilling to support this . Condition of a cricket ball ( edit ) A new cricket ball In test cricket , a new ball is used at the start of each innings in a match . In Limited Over Internationals , two new balls , one from each end , are used at the start of each innings in a match . A cricket ball may not be replaced except under specific conditions described in the Laws of Cricket : Because a single ball is used for an extended period of play , its surface wears down and becomes rough . The bowlers may polish it whenever they can - usually by rubbing it on their trousers , producing the characteristic red stain that can often be seen there . However , they will usually only polish one side of the ball , in order to create ' swing ' as it travels through the air . They may apply saliva or sweat to the ball as they polish it . The seam of a cricket ball can also be used to produce different trajectories through the air , with the technique known as swing bowling , or to produce sideways movement as it bounces off the pitch , with the technique known as seam bowling . Since the condition of the cricket ball is crucial to the amount of movement through the air a bowler can produce , the laws governing what players may and may not do to the ball are specific and rigorously enforced . The umpires will inspect the ball frequently during a match . If the ball is out of shape due to normal wear and tear due to batting and ball hitting the pitch , a ball of similar usage rate and condition will be replaced ( ie a ball of about 30 - overs old will be replaced by a ball about the same ' age ' ) . It is illegal for a player to : rub any substance apart from saliva or sweat onto the ball rub the ball on the ground scuff the ball with any rough object , including the fingernails pick at or lift the seam of the ball . Despite these rules , it can be tempting for players to gain an advantage by breaking them . There have been a handful of incidents of so - called ball tampering at the highest levels of cricket . A new cricket ball is harder than a worn one , and is preferred by fast bowlers because of the speed and bounce of the ball off the pitch . Older balls tend to spin more as the roughness grips the pitch more when the ball bounces , so spin bowlers prefer to use a worn ball , though a ball of about 8 - 10 overs old is still useful to a spinner as it can get more drift in the air . Uneven wear on older balls may also make reverse swing possible . A captain may delay the request for a new ball if he prefers to have his spin bowlers operating , but usually asks for the new ball soon after it becomes available . Dangers of cricket balls ( edit ) See also : List of fatal accidents in cricket A used cricket ball Cricket balls are hard and potentially lethal , hence most of today 's batsmen and close fielders often wear protective equipment . Numerous injuries are reported to health institutions worldwide in relation to cricket ball injuries , including eye ( with some players having lost eyes ) , head and face , finger and toe , teeth and testicular injuries . Frederick , Prince of Wales ( 1707 -- 1751 ) is often said to have died of complications after being hit by a cricket ball , although the connection between the incident and his official cause of death is unproven . Glamorgan player Roger Davis was almost killed by a ball in 1971 when he was hit on the head while fielding . The Indian batsman Nariman ' Nari ' Contractor had to retire from the game after being hit by a ball on the head in the West Indies in 1962 . In 1998 , Indian cricketer Raman Lamba died when a cricket ball hit his head in a club match in Dhaka . Lamba was fielding at forward short - leg without wearing a helmet when a ball struck by batsman Mehrab Hossain hit him hard on the head and rebounded to wicket - keeper Khaled Mashud . A cricket umpire , Alcwyn Jenkins , died in 2009 in Swansea , Wales after being hit on the head by a ball thrown by a fielder . In November 2014 , Australia and South Australia batsman Phillip Hughes died at the age of 25 at a Sydney hospital after succumbing to an injury sustained from being hit on the side of the neck by a bouncer bowled by Sean Abbott during a Sheffield Shield game . The same week , Hillel Oscar , an umpire and former captain of Israel 's national cricket team died after being hit in the neck by a ball . On 14 August 2017 , Zubair Ahmed died after being hit on the head while batting in a club match played in the Mardan District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province , Pakistan . Alternatives to cricket balls ( edit ) A yellow alternative cricket ball Sometimes alternatives to a real cricket ball may be preferred for reasons of safety , availability and cost . Examples include a tennis ball and a plastic version of the cricket ball . Many casual players use a tennis ball wrapped in layers of some type of adhesive tape ( often electrical tape ) , which makes the relatively soft tennis ball harder and smoother . This is commonly referred to as a tape ball . A common variant is to tape only half the tennis ball , to provide two different sides and make it easy to bowl with prodigious amounts of swing .

Her counterpart in the original UK series of The Office is Dawn Tinsley . Her character is initially the receptionist at the paper distribution company Dunder Mifflin , before becoming a saleswoman and eventually office administrator until her termination in the series finale . Her character is shy , growing assertive but amiable , and artistically inclined , and shares romantic interest with Jim Halpert , whom she begins dating in the fourth season and marries and starts a family with as the series continues . Contents ( hide ) 1 Casting and character development 2 Character history 2.1 Seasons 1 -- 3 2.2 Seasons 4 -- 6 2.3 Season 7 2.4 Season 8 2.5 Season 9 3 Coworker relations 3.1 Jim Halpert 3.2 Roy Anderson 3.3 Michael Scott 3.4 Toby Flenderson 4 Appearances 5 References Casting and character development ( edit ) The character was originally created to be very similar to the British counterpart , Dawn Tinsley . Even minute details , such as how Pam wore her hair each day , were considered by executive producer , Greg Daniels . `` When I went in for The Office , the casting director said to me , ' Please look normal ' , '' recalls Jenna Fischer . `` Do n't make yourself all pretty , and dare to bore me with your audition . Those were her words . Dare to bore me . '' Heeding the advice , Fischer said little during the auditions , during which she was interviewed in character by show producers , in an improvisational format , to imitate the show 's documentary premise . `` My take on the character of Pam was that she did n't have any media training , so she did n't know how to be a good interview . And also , she did n't care about this interview , '' she told NPR . `` So , I gave very short one - word answers and I tried very hard not to be funny or clever , because I thought that the comedy would come out of just , you know , the real human reactions to the situation ... and they liked that take on it . '' `` When I went in to the audition , the first question that they asked me in the character of Pam -- they said , ' Do you like working as a receptionist ? ' I said , ' No . ' And that was it . I did n't speak any more than that . And they started laughing . '' Fischer found herself creating a very elaborate backstory for the character . For the first few seasons , she kept a list of the character history revealed on - screen by the creators , as well as her own imaginative thoughts on Pam 's history . She created a rule with the set 's hair and make - up department that it could n't look as though it took Pam more than 30 minutes to do her hair , and she formulated ideas as to who gave Pam each piece of jewelry she wore or where she went to college . Fischer also carefully crafted Pam 's quiet persona . `` Well , my character of Pam is really stuck , '' she explained to NPR . `` I mean , she 's a subordinate in this office . And so , I think that for her , the only way she can express herself is in the silences , but you can say so much by not saying anything . '' Originally meek and passive , the character grew more assertive as the seasons passed , prompting Fischer to reassess her portrayal . `` I have to approach Pam differently ( now ) , '' she explained in Season 4 , a defining season in which her character finally begins a long - awaited relationship with Jim and is accepted into the Pratt Institute . `` She is in a loving relationship , she has found her voice , she has started taking art classes . All of these things must inform the character and we need to see changes in the way she moves , speaks , dresses , etc . '' Character history ( edit ) Seasons 1 -- 3 ( edit ) At the beginning of the series , Pam and Roy have been dating for eight years and engaged for three years . Their open - ended engagement has become one of Michael 's running gags and a sore spot for Pam . Pam does not want her current job to become permanent , remarking that `` I do n't think it 's many little girls ' dream to be a receptionist . '' Pam is apathetic toward her work , evidenced by her frequent games of FreeCell on her office computer . However , in the pilot episode , she breaks down crying when Michael pulls an ill - advised prank by telling her that she will be fired . Michael has criticized Pam for simply forwarding calls to voice mail without answering and ( in a deleted scene ) for not sounding enthusiastic enough when speaking on the telephone . Pam is usually happy to abandon her work if asked to do something else by Jim . She will do extra , unnecessary work ( such as making a casket for a dead bird or paper doves for the Office Olympics ) to make other people happy . Despite the abuse she takes from Michael , she never goes any further than calling him a jerk in the pilot . In later seasons , however , she becomes more honest and forward with Michael and will often make sarcastic comments toward him . While engaged to Roy , Pam denies , or is in denial about , having any romantic feelings for Jim . When Jim confesses his love for her at the Dunder Mifflin `` Casino Night '' she turns him down . She later talks to her mom on the phone and says Jim is her best friend ( though she does n't say his name ) , and says `` Yeah , I think I am '' to an unheard question . She is interrupted by Jim , who enters and kisses her ; she responds by kissing back . Season three marks a turning point for Pam 's character : she gains self - confidence and appears less passive and more self - assured as the season progresses . In `` Gay Witch Hunt , '' the season 's opener , it is revealed that Pam got cold feet before her wedding and did not marry Roy after all , and that Jim transferred to a different Dunder Mifflin branch , in Stamford , shortly after Pam rejected him a second time , after their kiss . Pam moves into her own apartment , begins taking art classes , a pursuit that Roy had previously dismissed as a waste of time , and buys a new car , a blue Toyota Yaris . Jim returns to Scranton later on as a result of `` The Merger '' , and brings along a female co-worker , Karen Filippelli , whom he begins dating . Jim and Pam appeared to have ended all communication after Jim transfers to the Stamford branch ( aside from an episode in which Jim accidentally calls Pam at the end of the work day ) , and their episodes together following the branch merge are tense , despite both admitting to still harboring feelings for the other during the presence of the documentary cameras . Meanwhile , Roy vows to win Pam back . Roy 's efforts to improve his relationship with Pam are quite successful , but once Pam and Roy are back together , he falls back into old habits almost immediately . When Roy and Pam attend an after work get - together at a local bar with their co-workers , Pam , feeling that she should be more honest with Roy , tells him about Jim kissing her at , `` Casino Night . '' Roy yells , smashes a mirror , and trashes the bar . Pam , frightened and embarrassed by his reaction , breaks up with Roy immediately . Roy vows to kill Jim and in , `` The Negotiation '' , Roy unsuccessfully tries to attack Jim at work ( Jim is saved by Dwight 's intervention ) , and is subsequently fired . Pam later reluctantly agrees to meet Roy for coffee at his request , and after the polite but brief meeting , it appears that their relationship has ended amicably with Roy encouraging Pam to pursue Jim . Pam participates in an art show , but few people attend . Her co-worker , Oscar , brings his partner along who , not knowing that Pam is standing behind him , criticizes her work by proclaiming that `` real art requires courage . '' Oscar then goes on to say that courage is n't one of Pam 's strong points . Affected by this statement , Pam tells the documentary crew that she is going to be more honest , culminating in a dramatic coal walk during the next - to - last episode of the season , `` Beach Games '' , and a seemingly sincere speech to Jim in front of the entire office about their relationship . Michael also comes to the art show and reveals his erratically kind heart and loyalty by buying , framing and hanging Pam 's drawing of the Dunder Mifflin building in the office . In the season finale , `` The Job , '' she leaves a friendly note in Jim 's briefcase and an old memento depicting the ' gold medal ' yogurt lid from the Office Olympics , which he sees during an interview for a job at Corporate in New York City . While he is asked how he `` would function here in New York '' , Jim is shown to have his mind back in Scranton , still distracted by the thought of Pam . Jim withdraws his name from consideration and drives back to the office , where he interrupts a talking head Pam is doing for the documentary crew by asking her out for dinner . She happily accepts , visibly moved , abandoning a train of thought about how she would be fine if Jim got the job and never came back to Scranton . Karen quits soon after , becoming the regional manager at Dunder Mifflin 's Utica branch . Seasons 4 -- 6 ( edit ) In Season 4 , Pam retains the assertiveness she developed in the third season . She wears her hair down and has updated her old dowdy wardrobe . In the season 4 premiere , `` Fun Run '' , Jim and Pam confess that they have started dating after the camera crew catches them kissing . The office ultimately learns of their relationship in `` Dunder Mifflin Infinity '' . In `` Chair Model '' , after teasing Pam about his impending proposal , Jim tells the documentary crew he is not kidding around about an engagement and shows them a ring he bought a week after he and Pam started dating . In the next few episodes , Jim fake - proposes to Pam multiple times . In `` Goodbye , Toby '' , Pam discovers she 's been accepted at Pratt Institute , an art and design school in Brooklyn . In an interview later in the episode , Jim announces that he will propose to Pam that evening . Just as Jim is preparing to propose , however , Andy Bernard stands up and makes his own impromptu proposal to Angela . Having had his thunder stolen by Andy , Jim reluctantly puts the ring back in his jacket pocket , leaving Pam visibly disappointed as she was expecting Jim to propose that night . In the Season 5 premiere , `` Weight Loss '' , Pam begins her three - month course at the Pratt Institute . In this episode , Jim proposes in the pouring rain at a rest stop , saying that he `` ca n't wait '' . In `` Business Trip '' , Pam learns that she is failing one of her classes and will have to remain in New York another three months to retake it . Although Jim is supportive and tells her he will wait for her to come back `` the right way '' , she ultimately makes the decision to return home , saying that she realized she hated graphic design and missed Scranton . A deleted scene for the episode shows Jim looking through Pam 's graphic design projects , which he thinks are `` cool '' , as well as a notebook filled with pencil sketches , which he finds a lot more impressive than her graphic design projects , implying her talents lie in hand - drawn works . In `` Two Weeks '' , Pam agrees to become Michael 's first saleswoman in his not - yet - established company , The Michael Scott Paper Co. , as a supportive Jim looks on . When David Wallace makes an offer to buy the company Michael negotiates in order to get their jobs at Dunder Mifflin back instead , including adding Pam to the sales team . In `` Company Picnic '' , Pam , after dominating the company volleyball tournament , injures her ankle during a game and is taken to the hospital against her wishes . At the hospital , the camera crew is stationed outside an exam room while a doctor updates Jim and Pam on her condition . There is no audio as the camera shows Jim and Pam embrace , looking shocked and ecstatic . It is implied that she is pregnant and is confirmed in the Season 6 premiere , `` Gossip '' . Jim and Pam marry early in the season , at Niagara Falls , during the highly anticipated , hour long episode , `` Niagara '' . The ending of the episode , in which their co-workers dance down the aisle , is an imitation of a viral YouTube video -- JK Wedding Entrance Dance . Following the wedding , a multi-episode story arc begins in which it is revealed that Michael hooked up with Pam 's mother the night of the wedding . The two break up during `` Double Date '' , an episode that ends with Pam slapping Michael in response to his actions . In `` The Delivery '' of Season 6 , Pam and Jim have their first child , a daughter named Cecelia Marie Halpert . Jenna Fischer was granted naming rights by show producers , and chose to name her after her own niece . Season 7 ( edit ) In `` Counseling '' , Pam feels inadequate about her poor performance in sales and tricks Gabe into promoting her to a phony new salaried position called office administrator . In `` China '' , Pam tries to use her authority as office administrator to force building manager Dwight to stop his annoying cost - cutting measures . Pam threatens to move the office to a new building , which Dwight discovers does n't exist . Pam saves face , however , when Dwight secretly has his assistant provide her with a book on building regulations that proves Dwight 's measures were not allowed . The episode is another example of Dwight 's covert protectiveness and fondness for Pam ( as previously demonstrated in `` The Injury '' , `` Back from Vacation '' , `` The Job '' and `` Diwali '' ) ; Mindy Kaling said during an online Q&A session that Dwight has a soft spot for her that he does not extend to anyone else at the office . She also uses her position to buy Erin Hannon an expensive desk top computer to replace the terrible one she had to use for years , as well as discreetly giving Andy a new computer , and giving Darell three sick days . At the end of the episode she proudly says that she is , `` Full on corrupt . '' In `` Goodbye , Michael '' , Pam almost misses saying good - bye to Michael , as she spends most of the day out of the office trying to price shredders . Jim figures out Michael 's plan to leave early and tells her by text . Pam reaches the airport in time and is the last person to see Michael before he leaves . Season 8 ( edit ) At the beginning of Season 8 , Pam is revealed to be pregnant with her and Jim 's second child , Philip Halpert . The child coincided with Jenna Fischer 's actual pregnancy . She begins her maternity leave after `` Pam 's Replacement '' . Pam returns in `` Jury Duty '' , where she and Jim bring Cece and Phillip into the office . In both `` Tallahassee '' and `` Test the Store '' Pam is shown helping , and developing her friendship with Andy . Season 9 ( edit ) Early in season 9 , Jim is restless about his life in Scranton and helps a friend start a Sports Marketing business , Athlead , in Philadelphia but he keeps it a secret from Pam until the third episode `` Andy 's Ancestry '' . Although Pam is happy for his decision , she is concerned about the fact that he had kept it a secret from her and she is later disturbed to hear about just how much of their money he had invested . Jim begins spending part of each work week in Philadelphia , but in `` Customer Loyalty '' , the strain of this on Pam is evident when she breaks down in tears , and is comforted by Brian , the boom mic operator of the film crew . In `` Moving On '' , Pam interviews for a job in Philadelphia to be closer to Jim , but she is turned off by the idea when her prospective new boss bears a striking resemblance in behavior to Michael Scott . Over dinner , Pam reveals to Jim that she does n't really want to move to Philadelphia after all . However , in `` Livin ' the Dream '' , when Athlead is bought out and Jim is offered a large sum of money for 3 months to pitch the company across the country , Pam overhears Jim refuse the opportunity because of her and appears to have mixed feelings about this decision . In `` A.A.R.M. '' , Pam tells Jim that she 's afraid that he will resent her for making him stay and that she might not be enough for him . Jim asks the camera crew to compile documentary footage of the two of them to show her . When she finishes the montage , which shows Jim taking back a letter he intended to give her with his teapot gift during Christmas ; Jim finally gives her that letter , and she reads it , visibly moved . In the series finale , which takes place a year later , she reveals to Jim that she secretly put the house on the market , so that they can move to Austin , Texas , and take his job back at Athlead ( now Athleap ) . Co-worker relations ( edit ) From her years working the front desk , Pam has become well - acquainted with the Dunder - Mifflin staff and is consistently shown to have a thorough understanding of her coworkers ' personalities , including the more eccentric individuals Dwight Schrute and Michael Scott . She uses this familiarity to manipulate them , often for their and the company 's best interests ( such as her giving the staff elaborate instructions on how to handle a heartbroken Michael in `` The Chump '' ) but also occasionally for her own . This familiarity plays a large part in her efficiency as office administrator and was crucial to her being promoted to the previously non-existent position . Jim Halpert ( edit ) Main article : Jim Halpert The `` will they or wo n't they '' tension between Jim and Pam is a strong storyline in the early episodes of The Office , encompassing much of Seasons 1 to 3 . In the opener of Season 4 , the two characters are revealed to be dating , and as such , other character romances , such as the romance between fellow co-workers Dwight Schrute and Angela Martin , begin to move more toward the forefront of episodes . In Season 6 , Jim and Pam are married in the season 's 4th and 5th episodes ( hour long ) , a feat considered noteworthy by many television critics , as bringing together the two lead love interests in a television series is often thought to be a risky venture . Their child is born in the second half of the season , during another hour long , `` The Delivery '' . Pam and Jim 's second child is born during season 8 . In season 9 , their marriage becomes strained when Jim takes up a second job in Philadelphia . They ultimately decide to leave Dunder Mifflin together so Jim can pursue his dream job . Roy Anderson ( edit ) Main article : Roy Anderson ( The Office ) When the series begins , Pam is engaged to her high school sweetheart Roy Anderson ; this engagement is revealed to be three years old and running . They finally set a date , but Pam calls off the wedding at the last minute . They get back together once , briefly , but Pam is much more assertive , and finally breaks up with him after he has a violent outburst . Roy is deeply flawed - he is overbearing , neglectful , dismissive of her desire to be an artist , and offers her sex as a gift on Valentine 's Day . Jim comments in Season 2 that Pam does not like to `` bother '' Roy with her `` thoughts or feelings '' . He tells the camera crew that the only two problems in Pam 's life seemed to be Roy and her job at Dunder Mifflin . In the early seasons , there is a great deal of tension between Jim and Roy , with Roy often acting threateningly towards Jim . In `` Basketball '' , when Jim starts to impress Pam with his basketball skills , Roy elbows Jim in the nose . In season 2 , when Jim encourages Pam to pursue a graphic arts internship offered by Dunder Mifflin , Roy objects to the opportunity and eventually convinces her that the idea is foolish . Pam ultimately calls off her wedding to Roy , but they remain friendly and he is determined to win her back by being less of a jerk . She reconciles with Roy at Phyllis 's wedding as a response to watching Jim date Karen . In an attempt at a fresh start with Roy , Pam comes clean about Jim kissing her during `` Casino Night '' . Roy flies into a violent rage and Pam ends the relationship on the spot . The next day , Roy attempts to attack Jim in the office but is stopped by Dwight 's pepper spray and is summarily fired . After losing his job , Roy meets Pam for coffee and says that even though Jim is dating Karen , she should at least make an effort to date him ( inasmuch as she called off the wedding because of him ) . In season 5 , Jim and Roy run into each other at a bar and Roy learns that Jim and Pam are engaged . The mood is somewhat awkward , but Roy is congratulatory , but then makes a somewhat passive - aggressive comment , seemingly meant to make Jim feel insecure about his current role in Pam 's life , which tempts him to drive to Pratt , where she is attending art classes . Jim gets on the freeway , but changes his mind and remembers that he trusts Pam . Jim did n't want to treat Pam the same way Roy treated her . Michael Scott ( edit ) Main article : Michael Scott ( The Office ) In the series pilot , Michael is overtly rude to Pam and at one point fakes her firing , leaving her in tears . He often makes suggestive if harmless remarks about her beauty and general appearance , and at one point lies to the camera that they used to date ( inspiring a horrified `` WHAT ? ? ? '' from Pam when an interviewer relays the message to her ) . However , his impulsive attempt to kiss her during Diwali is shot down and marked the end of any romantic dreams for Michael with Pam . Over time , the combination of Michael being supportive of her goals , her transition from a bad relationship with Roy to a great one with Jim as well as her finding a job she not only enjoys but is effective at in the office administrator position and Michael finding his own soulmate in Holly Flax made Pam soften her stance towards Michael , and the experience at the Michael Scott Paper Company further bonded them ( as did Michael 's decision to choose Pam instead of Ryan Howard as the only MSPC salesman to keep that job when Michael returned as Branch Manager ) . Pam was furious at Michael for dating her mom Helene , and excoriated him at length during `` The Lover '' before eventually slapping him in `` Double Date '' , but they once again were able to be civil to each other afterward . Pam does set up boundaries around her personal life that Michael ca n't cross , like telling him that he was n't Cece 's godfather . By Season 7 , Pam acts as something of a guardian angel for Michael , steering him away from ( numerous ) bad ideas and towards his ( fewer but real ) good ones , such as his successful efforts to propose to Holly . In Michael 's finale `` Goodbye , Michael '' , Pam spends the whole day looking for a shredder , believing that the next day Michael was leaving . As Michael takes off his microphone and heads down the airport concourse , Pam runs to him with no shoes and hugs him as he kisses her cheek . The two have a nice moment and he walks off , leaving her holding her shoes . She then tells the camera that he was happy , wanting to be an advanced rewards member , and was glad to be going home to see Holly . She then is there to watch Michael 's plane take off . In a deleted scene from `` The Inner Circle '' , we learn Pam is flattered that Michael named his new puppy `` Pamela Beagsley '' , and in `` The List '' she playfully teases Jim by calling their second child `` Little Michael Scott '' , further proving that the two have developed a genuine friendship . Toby flenderson ( edit ) Main article : Toby Flenderson Toby , the Human Resources Representative for Dunder Mifflin in the Scranton branch , has a secret crush on Pam . In `` A Benihana Christmas '' she gives him her Dunder - Mifflin bathrobe , a display of friendly affection , after he spent the day feeling bad that Dwight took his . In `` Night Out '' , Toby awkwardly rubs her knee while they share a laugh ( and while Jim sits just on her other side ) , and the rest of the office watches in horror . In his mortification , Toby immediately announces that he is moving to Costa Rica before jumping over the locked gate and fleeing . In `` Goodbye , Toby '' , he purchases a DSLR camera just to get a picture with Pam . On the eve of his departure , she confesses to the cameras that she always thought he was `` kind of cute '' . The crush receives less attention after Toby 's return . However , in `` Niagara '' , Pam and Jim are late for their wedding and he is visibly excited at the prospect that the wedding might not happen . In `` Finale '' , Pam and Toby dance with each other at Dwight 's wedding , with Toby beginning to cry as Pam comforts him . When she asks , `` is it me ? '' , he replies that `` it 's everything ! '' . Appearances ( edit ) Pam Halpert has appeared in every episode with the exceptions of `` Business Ethics '' ( except for the deleted scenes ) , `` St. Patrick 's Day '' , and `` New Leads '' in which only her voice is heard , and several season 8 episodes from `` Mrs. California '' to `` Pool Party '' , where she did not appear at all as Fischer was on maternity leave .

Premier League
Premier League - Wikipedia Premier League Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the English association football league . For other uses , see Premier League ( disambiguation ) . Premier League Founded 20 February 1992 Country England ( 19 teams ) Other club ( s ) from Wales ( 1 team ) Confederation UEFA Number of teams 20 ( from 1995 -- 96 ) Level on pyramid Relegation to EFL Championship Domestic cup ( s ) FA Cup FA Community Shield League cup ( s ) EFL Cup International cup ( s ) UEFA Champions League UEFA Europa League Current champions Chelsea ( 5th title ) ( 2016 -- 17 ) Most championships Manchester United ( 13 titles ) TV partners Sky Sports & BT Sport ( live matches ) Sky Sports & BBC ( highlights ) Website premierleague.com 2017 -- 18 Premier League The Premier League is an English professional league for men 's association football clubs . At the top of the English football league system , it is the country 's primary football competition . Contested by 20 clubs , it operates on a system of promotion and relegation with the English Football League ( EFL ; known as `` The Football League '' before 2016 -- 17 ) . Welsh clubs that compete in the English football league system can also qualify . The Premier League is a corporation in which the 20 member clubs act as shareholders . Seasons run from August to May . Teams play 38 matches each ( playing each team in the league twice , home and away ) , totalling 380 matches in the season . Most games are played on Saturday and Sunday afternoons ; others during weekday evenings . It is colloquially known as the Premiership and outside the UK it is commonly referred to as the English Premier League ( EPL ) . The competition formed as the FA Premier League on 20 February 1992 following the decision of clubs in the Football League First Division to break away from the Football League , which was founded in 1888 , and take advantage of a lucrative television rights deal . The deal was worth £ 1 billion a year domestically as of 2013 -- 14 , with BSkyB and BT Group securing the domestic rights to broadcast 116 and 38 games respectively . The league generates € 2.2 billion per year in domestic and international television rights . In 2014 -- 15 , teams were apportioned revenues of £ 1,600 million , rising sharply to £ 2,400 million in 2016 -- 17 . The Premier League is the most - watched sports league in the world , broadcast in 212 territories to 643 million homes and a potential TV audience of 4.7 billion people . In the 2014 -- 15 season , the average Premier League match attendance exceeded 36,000 , second highest of any professional football league behind the Bundesliga 's 43,500 . Most stadium occupancies are near capacity . The Premier League ranks third in the UEFA coefficients of leagues based on performances in European competitions over the past five seasons . In total , 49 clubs have competed since the inception of the Premier League in 1992 . Six of them have won the title : Manchester United ( 13 ) , Chelsea ( 5 ) , Arsenal ( 3 ) , Manchester City ( 2 ) , Blackburn Rovers ( 1 ) and Leicester City ( 1 ) .

Stadiums were crumbling , supporters endured poor facilities , hooliganism was rife , and English clubs were banned from European competition for five years following the Heysel Stadium disaster in 1985 . The Football League First Division , the top level of English football since 1888 , was behind leagues such as Italy 's Serie A and Spain 's La Liga in attendances and revenues , and several top English players had moved abroad . By the turn of the 1990s the downward trend was starting to reverse : at the 1990 FIFA World Cup , England reached the semi-finals ; UEFA , European football 's governing body , lifted the five - year ban on English clubs playing in European competitions in 1990 , resulting in Manchester United lifting the UEFA Cup Winners ' Cup in 1991 , and the Taylor Report on stadium safety standards , which proposed expensive upgrades to create all - seater stadiums in the aftermath of the Hillsborough disaster , was published in January of that year . The 1980s also saw the major English clubs , led by the likes of Martin Edwards of Manchester United , Irving Scholar of Tottenham Hotspur and David Dein of Arsenal , beginning to be transformed into business ventures that apply commercial principles to the running of the clubs , which led to the increasing power of the elite clubs . By threatening to break away , the top clubs from Division One managed to increase their voting power , and took 50 % share all television and sponsorship income in 1986 . Revenue from television also became more important : the Football League received £ 6.3 million for a two - year agreement in 1986 , but by 1988 , in a deal agreed with ITV , the price rose to £ 44 million over four years with the leading clubs taking 75 % of the cash . The 1988 negotiations was conducted under the threat of ten clubs leaving to form a `` super league '' , but were eventually persuaded to stay with the top clubs taking the lion share of the deal . As stadiums improved and match attendance and revenues rose , the country 's top teams again considered leaving the Football League in order to capitalise on the influx of money into the sport . Foundation See also : Foundation of the Premier League In 1990 , the managing director of London Weekend Television ( LWT ) , Greg Dyke , met with the representatives of the `` big five '' football clubs in England ( Manchester United , Liverpool , Tottenham , Everton and Arsenal ) over a dinner . The meeting was to pave the way for a break away from The Football League . Dyke believed that it would be more lucrative for LWT if only the larger clubs in the country were featured on national television and wanted to establish whether the clubs would be interested in a larger share of television rights money . The five clubs decided it was a good idea and decided to press ahead with it ; however , the league would have no credibility without the backing of The Football Association and so David Dein of Arsenal held talks to see whether the FA were receptive to the idea . The FA did not enjoy an amicable relationship with the Football League at the time and considered it as a way to weaken the Football League 's position . At the close of the 1991 season , a proposal was tabled for the establishment of a new league that would bring more money into the game overall . The Founder Members Agreement , signed on 17 July 1991 by the game 's top - flight clubs , established the basic principles for setting up the FA Premier League . The newly formed top division would have commercial independence from The Football Association and the Football League , giving the FA Premier League licence to negotiate its own broadcast and sponsorship agreements . The argument given at the time was that the extra income would allow English clubs to compete with teams across Europe . Although Dyke played a significant role in the creation of the Premier League , Dyke and ITV would lose out in the bidding for broadcast rights as BSkyB won with a bid of £ 304 million over five years with the BBC awarded the highlights package broadcast on Match of the Day . In 1992 , the First Division clubs resigned from the Football League en masse and on 27 May 1992 the FA Premier League was formed as a limited company working out of an office at the Football Association 's then headquarters in Lancaster Gate . This meant a break - up of the 104 - year - old Football League that had operated until then with four divisions ; the Premier League would operate with a single division and the Football League with three . There was no change in competition format ; the same number of teams competed in the top flight , and promotion and relegation between the Premier League and the new First Division remained the same as the old First and Second Divisions with three teams relegated from the league and three promoted . The league held its first season in 1992 -- 93 . It was composed of 22 clubs for that session . The first Premier League goal was scored by Brian Deane of Sheffield United in a 2 -- 1 win against Manchester United . The 22 inaugural members of the new Premier League were Arsenal , Aston Villa , Blackburn Rovers , Chelsea , Coventry City , Crystal Palace , Everton , Ipswich Town , Leeds United , Liverpool , Manchester City , Manchester United , Middlesbrough , Norwich City , Nottingham Forest , Oldham Athletic , Queens Park Rangers , Sheffield United , Sheffield Wednesday , Southampton , Tottenham Hotspur , and Wimbledon . Luton Town , Notts County and West Ham United were the three teams relegated from the old first division at the end of the 1991 -- 92 season , and did not take part in the inaugural Premier League season . `` Big four '' dominance ( 2000s ) Results of the ' Big Four ' during the 2000s Season Arsenal Chelsea Liverpool Man . United 1999 -- 2000 5 2000 -- 01 6 2001 -- 02 6 2002 -- 03 5 2003 -- 04 2004 -- 05 5 2005 -- 06 2006 -- 07 2007 -- 08 2008 -- 09 2009 -- 10 7 Top four finishes 11 8 8 11 out of 11 One significant feature of the Premier League in the mid-2000s was the dominance of the so - called `` Big Four '' clubs : Arsenal , Chelsea , Liverpool and Manchester United . During this decade , they dominated the top four spots , which came with UEFA Champions League qualification , taking all top four places in 5 out of 6 seasons from 2003 -- 04 to 2008 -- 09 inclusive . Arsenal went as far as winning the league without losing a single game in 2003 -- 04 , the only time it has ever happened in the Premier League . In May 2008 Kevin Keegan stated that `` Big Four '' dominance threatened the division , `` This league is in danger of becoming one of the most boring but great leagues in the world . '' Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore said in defence : `` There are a lot of different tussles that go on in the Premier League depending on whether you 're at the top , in the middle or at the bottom that make it interesting . '' The years following 2009 marked a shift in the structure of the `` Big Four '' with Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City both breaking into the top four . In the 2009 -- 10 season , Tottenham finished fourth and became the first team to break the top four since Everton in 2005 . Criticism of the gap between an elite group of `` super clubs '' and the majority of the Premier League has continued , nevertheless , due to their increasing ability to spend more than the other Premier League clubs . Manchester City won the title in the 2011 -- 12 season , becoming the first club outside the `` Big Four '' to win since 1994 -- 95 . That season also saw two of the Big Four ( Chelsea and Liverpool ) finish outside the top four places for the first time since 1994 -- 95 . In the following five seasons , Manchester United and Liverpool both found themselves outside of the top four three times while Chelsea finished 10th in the 2015 -- 16 season . Arsenal finished 5th in the 2016 -- 17 season , ending their record of 20 consecutive top four finishes . Development See also : List of Premier League seasons Due to insistence by the International Federation of Association Football ( FIFA ) , the international governing body of football , that domestic leagues reduce the number of games clubs played , the number of clubs was reduced to 20 in 1995 when four teams were relegated from the league and only two teams promoted . On 8 June 2006 , FIFA requested that all major European leagues , including Italy 's Serie A and Spain 's La Liga be reduced to 18 teams by the start of the 2007 -- 08 season . The Premier League responded by announcing their intention to resist such a reduction . Ultimately , the 2007 -- 08 season kicked off again with 20 teams . The league changed its name from the FA Premier League to simply the Premier League in 2007 . Corporate structure The Football Association Premier League Ltd ( FAPL ) is operated as a corporation and is owned by the 20 member clubs . Each club is a shareholder , with one vote each on issues such as rule changes and contracts . The clubs elect a chairman , chief executive , and board of directors to oversee the daily operations of the league . The current chairman is Sir Dave Richards , who was appointed in April 1999 , and the chief executive is Richard Scudamore , appointed in November 1999 . The former chairman and chief executive , John Quinton and Peter Leaver , were forced to resign in March 1999 after awarding consultancy contracts to former Sky executives Sam Chisholm and David Chance . The Football Association is not directly involved in the day - to - day operations of the Premier League , but has veto power as a special shareholder during the election of the chairman and chief executive and when new rules are adopted by the league . The Premier League sends representatives to UEFA 's European Club Association , the number of clubs and the clubs themselves chosen according to UEFA coefficients . For the 2012 -- 13 season the Premier League has 10 representatives in the Association : Arsenal , Aston Villa , Chelsea , Everton , Fulham , Liverpool , Manchester City , Manchester United , Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur . The European Club Association is responsible for electing three members to UEFA 's Club Competitions Committee , which is involved in the operations of UEFA competitions such as the Champions League and UEFA Europa League . Competition format Competition There are 20 clubs in the Premier League . During the course of a season ( from August to May ) each club plays the others twice ( a double round - robin system ) , once at their home stadium and once at that of their opponents ' , for a total of 38 games . Teams receive three points for a win and one point for a draw . No points are awarded for a loss . Teams are ranked by total points , then goal difference , and then goals scored . If still equal , teams are deemed to occupy the same position . If there is a tie for the championship , for relegation , or for qualification to other competitions , a play - off match at a neutral venue decides rank . The three lowest placed teams are relegated into the EFL Championship , and the top two teams from the Championship , together with the winner of play - offs involving the third to sixth placed Championship clubs , are promoted in their place . Qualification for European competitions Arsenal against Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League in 2011 As of the 2009 -- 10 season qualification for the UEFA Champions League changed , the top four teams in the Premier League qualify for the UEFA Champions League , with the top three teams directly entering the group stage . Previously only the top two teams qualified automatically . The fourth - placed team enters the Champions League at the play - off round for non-champions and must win a two - legged knockout tie in order to enter the group stage . The team placed fifth in the Premier League automatically qualifies for the UEFA Europa League , and the sixth and seventh - placed teams can also qualify , depending on the winners of the two domestic cup competitions i.e. the FA Cup and the EFL Cup . Two Europa League places are reserved for the winners of each tournament ; if the winner of either the FA Cup or EFL Cup qualifies for the Champions League , then that place will go to the next - best placed finisher in the Premier League . An exception to the usual European qualification system happened in 2005 , after Liverpool won the Champions League the year before , but did not finish in a Champions League qualification place in the Premier League that season . UEFA gave special dispensation for Liverpool to enter the Champions League , giving England five qualifiers . UEFA subsequently ruled that the defending champions qualify for the competition the following year regardless of their domestic league placing . However , for those leagues with four entrants in the Champions League , this meant that if the Champions League winner finished outside the top four in its domestic league , it would qualify at the expense of the fourth - placed team in the league . At that time , no association could have more than four entrants in the Champions League . This occurred in 2012 , when Chelsea -- who had won the Champions League that summer , but finished sixth in the league -- qualified for the Champions League in place of Tottenham Hotspur , who went into the Europa League . Starting with the 2015 -- 16 season , the Europa League champion automatically qualifies for the following season 's Champions League , and the maximum number of Champions League places for any single association has increased to five . An association with four Champions League places , such as The FA , will only earn a fifth place if a club from that association that does not qualify for the Champions League through its league wins either the Champions League or Europa League . In 2007 , the Premier League became the highest ranking European League based on the performances of English teams in European competitions over a five - year period . This broke the eight - year dominance of the Spanish league , La Liga . Premier League clubs in international competition Main article : Premier League clubs in international performance Between the 1992 -- 93 and the 2016 -- 17 seasons , Premier League clubs won the UEFA Champions League four times ( and had five runners - up ) , behind Spain 's La Liga with ten wins , and Italy 's Serie A with five wins ; ahead of , among others , Germany 's Bundesliga with three wins . The FIFA Club World Cup ( originally called the FIFA Club World Championship ) has been won once by a Premier League club ( Manchester United in 2008 ) , with two runners - up ( Liverpool in 2005 , Chelsea in 2012 ) , behind Spain 's La Liga with five wins , Brazil 's Brasileirão with four wins , and Italy 's Serie A with two wins ( see table here ) . Promotion and relegation A system of promotion and relegation exists between the Premier League and the EFL Championship . The three lowest placed teams in Premier League are relegated to the Championship , and the top two teams from the Championship promoted to Premier League , with an additional team promoted after a series of play - offs involving the third , fourth , fifth and sixth placed clubs . The Premier League had 22 teams when it began in 1992 , but this was reduced to the present 20 - team format in 1995 .

AFC Bournemouth , Stoke City , and Swansea City are the only clubs to have remained in the Premier League since their first promotion , having played 3 , 9 and 6 seasons ( out of 26 ) respectively .

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

Television has played a major role in the history of the Premier League . The League 's decision to assign broadcasting rights to BSkyB in 1992 was at the time a radical decision , but one that has paid off . At the time pay television was an almost untested proposition in the UK market , as was charging fans to watch live televised football . However , a combination of Sky 's strategy , the quality of Premier League football and the public 's appetite for the game has seen the value of the Premier League 's TV rights soar . The Premier League sells its television rights on a collective basis . This is in contrast to some other European Leagues , including La Liga , in which each club sells its rights individually , leading to a much higher share of the total income going to the top few clubs . The money is divided into three parts : half is divided equally between the clubs ; one quarter is awarded on a merit basis based on final league position , the top club getting twenty times as much as the bottom club , and equal steps all the way down the table ; the final quarter is paid out as facilities fees for games that are shown on television , with the top clubs generally receiving the largest shares of this . The income from overseas rights is divided equally between the twenty clubs . The first Sky television rights agreement was worth £ 304 million over five seasons . The next contract , negotiated to start from the 1997 -- 98 season , rose to £ 670 million over four seasons . The third contract was a £ 1.024 billion deal with BSkyB for the three seasons from 2001 -- 02 to 2003 -- 04 . The league brought in £ 320 million from the sale of its international rights for the three - year period from 2004 -- 05 to 2006 -- 07 . It sold the rights itself on a territory - by - territory basis . Sky 's monopoly was broken from August 2006 when Setanta Sports was awarded rights to show two out of the six packages of matches available . This occurred following an insistence by the European Commission that exclusive rights should not be sold to one television company . Sky and Setanta paid a total of £ 1.7 billion , a two - thirds increase which took many commentators by surprise as it had been widely assumed that the value of the rights had levelled off following many years of rapid growth . Setanta also hold rights to a live 3 pm match solely for Irish viewers . The BBC has retained the rights to show highlights for the same three seasons ( on Match of the Day ) for £ 171.6 million , a 63 per cent increase on the £ 105 million it paid for the previous three - year period . Sky and BT have agreed to jointly pay £ 84.3 million for delayed television rights to 242 games ( that is the right to broadcast them in full on television and over the internet ) in most cases for a period of 50 hours after 10 pm on matchday . Overseas television rights fetched £ 625 million , nearly double the previous contract . The total raised from these deals is more than £ 2.7 billion , giving Premier League clubs an average media income from league games of around £ 40 million - a-year from 2007 to 2010 . Cristiano Ronaldo preparing to take a free kick in a 2009 match between Manchester United and Liverpool . The TV rights agreement between the Premier League and Sky has faced accusations of being a cartel , and a number of court cases have arisen as a result . An investigation by the Office of Fair Trading in 2002 found BSkyB to be dominant within the pay TV sports market , but concluded that there were insufficient grounds for the claim that BSkyB had abused its dominant position . In July 1999 the Premier League 's method of selling rights collectively for all member clubs was investigated by the UK Restrictive Practices Court , who concluded that the agreement was not contrary to the public interest . The BBC 's highlights package on Saturday and Sunday nights , as well as other evenings when fixtures justify , will run until 2016 . Television rights alone for the period 2010 to 2013 have been purchased for £ 1.782 billion . On 22 June 2009 , due to troubles encountered by Setanta Sports after it failed to meet a final deadline over a £ 30 million payment to the Premier League , ESPN was awarded two packages of UK rights containing a total of 46 matches that were available for the 2009 -- 10 season as well as a package of 23 matches per season from 2010 -- 11 to 2012 -- 13 . On 13 June 2012 , the Premier League announced that BT had been awarded 38 games a season for the 2013 -- 14 through 2015 -- 16 seasons at £ 246 million - a-year . The remaining 116 games were retained by Sky who paid £ 760 million - a-year . The total domestic rights have raised £ 3.018 billion , an increase of 70.2 % over the 2010 -- 11 to 2012 -- 13 rights . The value of the licensing deal rose by another 70.2 % in 2015 , when Sky and BT paid a total of £ 5.136 billion to renew their contracts with the Premier League for another three years up to the 2018 -- 19 season . UK highlights Highlights programme Duration Channel Match of the Day 1992 -- 2001 BBC The Premiership 2001 -- 2004 ITV Match of the Day 2004 -- present BBC Between the 1998 -- 99 season and the 2012 -- 13 season , RTÉ broadcast highlights on Premier Soccer Saturday and occasionally Premier Soccer Sunday . During then between the 2004 -- 05 season and the 2006 -- 07 season , RTÉ broadcast 15 live matches on a Saturday afternoon with each match being called Premiership Live . In August 2016 , it was announced that the BBC would be creating a new magazine - style show for the Premier League entitled The Premier League Show . Worldwide The Premier League is the most - watched football league in the world , broadcast in 212 territories to 643 million homes and a potential TV audience of 4.7 billion people , . The Premier League 's production arm , Premier League Productions , is operated by IMG Productions and produces all content for its international television partners . The Premier League is particularly popular in Asia , where it is the most widely distributed sports programme . In Australia , Optus telecommunications holds exclusive rights to the Premier League , providing live broadcasts and online access ( Fox Sports formerly held rights ) . In India , the matches are broadcast live on STAR Sports . In China , the broadcast rights were awarded to Super Sports in a six - year agreement that began in the 2013 -- 14 season . As of the 2013 -- 14 season , Canadian broadcast rights to the Premier League are jointly owned by Sportsnet and TSN , with both rival networks holding rights to 190 matches per season . The Premier League is broadcast in the United States through NBC Sports . Premier League viewership has increased rapidly , with NBC and NBCSN averaging a record 479,000 viewers in the 2014 -- 15 season , up 118 % from 2012 -- 13 when coverage still aired on Fox Soccer and ESPN / ESPN2 ( 220,000 viewers ) , and NBC Sports has been widely praised for its coverage . NBC Sports reached a six - year extension with the Premier League in 2015 to broadcast the league through the 2021 -- 22 season in a deal valued at $1 billion ( £ 640 million ) . Widening gap with lower leagues See also : Premier League -- Football League gulf There has been an increasing gulf between the Premier League and the Football League . Since its split with the Football League , many established clubs in the Premier League have managed to distance themselves from their counterparts in lower leagues . Owing in large part to the disparity in revenue from television rights between the leagues , many newly promoted teams have found it difficult to avoid relegation in their first season in the Premier League . In every season except 2001 -- 02 and 2011 -- 12 , at least one Premier League newcomer has been relegated back to the Football League . In 1997 -- 98 all three promoted clubs were relegated at the end of the season . The Premier League distributes a portion of its television revenue to clubs that are relegated from the league in the form of `` parachute payments '' . Starting with the 2013 -- 14 season , these payments are in excess of £ 60 million over four seasons . Though designed to help teams adjust to the loss of television revenues ( the average Premier League team receives £ 55 million while the average Football League Championship club receives £ 2 million ) , critics maintain that the payments actually widen the gap between teams that have reached the Premier League and those that have not , leading to the common occurrence of teams `` bouncing back '' soon after their relegation . For some clubs who have failed to win immediate promotion back to the Premier League , financial problems , including in some cases administration or even liquidation have followed . Further relegations down the footballing ladder have ensued for several clubs unable to cope with the gap . Stadiums Main article : List of Premier League stadiums This section needs to be updated . Please update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information . ( August 2015 ) As of the 2016 -- 17 season , Premier League football has been played in 55 stadiums since the formation of the division in 1992 . The Hillsborough disaster in 1989 and the subsequent Taylor Report saw a recommendation that standing terraces should be abolished ; as a result all stadiums in the Premier League are all - seater . Since the formation of the Premier League , football grounds in England have seen constant improvements to capacity and facilities , with some clubs moving to new - build stadiums . Nine stadiums that have seen Premier League football have now been demolished . The stadiums for the 2010 -- 11 season show a large disparity in capacity : Old Trafford , the home of Manchester United has a capacity of 75,957 with Bloomfield Road , the home of Blackpool , having a capacity of 16,220 . The combined total capacity of the Premier League in the 2010 -- 11 season is 770,477 with an average capacity of 38,523 . Stadium attendances are a significant source of regular income for Premier League clubs . For the 2009 -- 10 season , average attendances across the league clubs were 34,215 for Premier League matches with a total aggregate attendance figure of 13,001,616 . This represents an increase of 13,089 from the average attendance of 21,126 recorded in the league 's first season ( 1992 -- 93 ) . However , during the 1992 -- 93 season the capacities of most stadiums were reduced as clubs replaced terraces with seats in order to meet the Taylor Report 's 1994 -- 95 deadline for all - seater stadiums . The Premier League 's record average attendance of 36,144 was set during the 2007 -- 08 season . This record was then beaten in the 2013 -- 14 season recording an average attendance of 36,695 with a total attendance of just under 14 million , the highest average in England 's top flight since 1950 . Managers See also : List of Premier League managers Managers in the Premier League are involved in the day - to - day running of the team , including the training , team selection , and player acquisition . Their influence varies from club - to - club and is related to the ownership of the club and the relationship of the manager with fans . Managers are required to have a UEFA Pro Licence which is the final coaching qualification available , and follows the completion of the UEFA ' B ' and ' A ' Licences . The UEFA Pro Licence is required by every person who wishes to manage a club in the Premier League on a permanent basis ( i.e. more than 12 weeks -- the amount of time an unqualified caretaker manager is allowed to take control ) . Caretaker appointments are managers that fill the gap between a managerial departure and a new appointment . Several caretaker managers have gone on to secure a permanent managerial post after performing well as a caretaker ; examples include Paul Hart at Portsmouth and David Pleat at Tottenham Hotspur . The league 's longest - serving manager was Alex Ferguson , who was in charge of Manchester United from November 1986 until his retirement at the end of the 2012 -- 13 season , meaning that he was manager for all of the first 21 seasons of the Premier League . Arsène Wenger is the league 's longest - serving current manager , having been in charge of Arsenal in the Premier League since 1996 .

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

The Golden Boot is awarded to the top Premier League scorer at the end of each season . Former Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United striker Alan Shearer holds the record for most Premier League goals with 260 . Twenty - five players have reached the 100 - goal mark . Since the first Premier League season in 1992 -- 93 , 14 different players from 10 different clubs have won or shared the top scorers title . Thierry Henry won his fourth overall scoring title by scoring 27 goals in the 2005 -- 06 season . Andrew Cole and Alan Shearer hold the record for most goals in a season ( 34 ) -- for Newcastle and Blackburn respectively . Ryan Giggs of Manchester United holds the record for scoring goals in consecutive seasons , having scored in the first 21 seasons of the league . Awards Trophy The Premier League trophy The Premier League maintains two trophies -- the genuine trophy ( held by the reigning champions ) and a spare replica . Two trophies are held in the event that two different clubs could win the League on the final day of the season . In the rare event that more than two clubs are vying for the title on the final day of the season -- then a replica won by a previous club is used . The current Premier League trophy was created by Royal Jewellers Asprey of London . It consists of a trophy with a golden crown and a malachite plinth base . The plinth weighs 33 pounds ( 15 kg ) and the trophy weighs 22 pounds ( 10.0 kg ) . The trophy and plinth are 76 cm ( 30 in ) tall , 43 cm ( 17 in ) wide and 25 cm ( 9.8 in ) deep . Its main body is solid sterling silver and silver gilt , while its plinth is made of malachite , a semi-precious stone . The plinth has a silver band around its circumference , upon which the names of the title - winning clubs are listed . Malachite 's green colour is also representative of the green field of play . The design of the trophy is based on the heraldry of Three Lions that is associated with English football . Two of the lions are found above the handles on either side of the trophy -- the third is symbolised by the captain of the title - winning team as he raises the trophy , and its gold crown , above his head at the end of the season . The ribbons that drape the handles are presented in the team colours of the league champions that year . In 2004 , a special gold version of the trophy was commissioned to commemorate Arsenal winning the title without a single defeat . Player and manager awards In addition to the winner 's trophy and the individual winner 's medals awarded to players , the Premier League also awards the monthly Manager of the Month and Player of the Month awards , as well as annual awards for Manager of the Season , Player of the Season , Golden Boot and the Golden Glove awards . 20 seasons awards Further information : Premier League 20 Seasons Awards and Premier League 10 Seasons Awards In 2012 , the Premier League celebrated its second decade by holding the 20 Seasons Awards : Fantasy Team of the 20 Seasons Panel Choice : Peter Schmeichel , Gary Neville , Tony Adams , Rio Ferdinand , Ashley Cole , Cristiano Ronaldo , Roy Keane , Paul Scholes , Ryan Giggs , Thierry Henry , Alan Shearer Public Vote : Peter Schmeichel , Gary Neville , Tony Adams , Nemanja Vidić , Ashley Cole , Cristiano Ronaldo , Steven Gerrard , Paul Scholes , Ryan Giggs , Thierry Henry , Alan Shearer Best Manager : Sir Alex Ferguson Best Player : Ryan Giggs Most Appearances : Ryan Giggs ( 598 ) Top Goalscorer : Alan Shearer ( 260 ) Most Clean Sheets : David James ( 173 ) 500 Club : Ryan Giggs , David James , Gary Speed , Frank Lampard , Emile Heskey , and Sol Campbell .

Constitutional Convention (United States)
Constitutional Convention ( United states ) - wikipedia Constitutional Convention ( United states ) `` Federal Convention '' redirects here . For other uses , see Federal Convention ( disambiguation ) . Scene at the Signing of the Constitution of the United States The Constitutional Convention ( also known as the Philadelphia Convention , the Federal Convention , or the Grand Convention at Philadelphia ) took place from May 25 to September 17 , 1787 , in the old Pennsylvania State House ( later known as Independence Hall because of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence there eleven years before ) in Philadelphia . Although the Convention was intended to revise the league of states and first system of government under the Articles of Confederation , the intention from the outset 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 delegates elected George Washington of Virginia , former commanding general of the Continental Army in the late American Revolutionary War ( 1775 - 1783 ) and proponent of a stronger national government , to preside over the Convention . The result of the Convention was the creation of the Constitution of the United States , placing the Convention among the most significant events in American history . At the time , the convention was not referred to as a `` Constitutional '' convention , nor did most of the delegates arrive intending to draft a new constitution . Many assumed that the purpose of the convention was to discuss and draft improvements to the existing Articles of Confederation , and would have not agreed to participate otherwise . Once the Convention began , however , most of the delegates -- though not all -- came to agree in general terms that the goal would be a new system of government , not simply a revised version of the Articles of Confederation . Several broad outlines were proposed and debated , most notably James Madison 's Virginia Plan and William Paterson 's New Jersey Plan . The Virginia Plan was selected as the basis for the new government , but several issues delayed further progress and put the success of the Convention in doubt . The most contentious disputes revolved around composition and election of the upper legislative house in the future bicameral Congress , to be known as the Senate , how `` proportional representation '' was to be defined ( whether to include slaves or other property ) , whether to divide the executive power between three persons or invest the power into a single chief executive to be called the President , how to elect the President , how long his term was to be and whether he could run for reelection , what offenses should be impeachable , the nature of a fugitive slave clause , whether to allow the abolition of the slave trade , and whether judges should be chosen by the legislature or executive . Most of the time during the Convention was spent on deciding these issues ; the concept of a federal government with three branches ( legislative , executive , and judicial ) and the general role of each branch was not heavily disputed . Progress was slow until mid-July , when the Connecticut Compromise resolved enough lingering arguments for a draft written by the Committee of Detail to gain acceptance . Though more modifications and compromises were made over the following weeks , most of the rough draft remained in place and can be found in the finished version of the Constitution . After several more issues were resolved , the Committee on Style produced the final version in early September . It was voted on by the delegates , inscribed on parchment with engraving for printing , and signed by thirty - nine of fifty - five delegates on September 17 , 1787 . The completed proposed Constitution was then released to the public to begin the debate and ratification process .

It soon became evident to nearly all that the chronically underfunded Confederation government , as originally organized , was inadequate for managing the various conflicts that arose among the states . As the Articles of Confederation could only be amended by unanimous vote of the states , any state had effective veto power over any proposed change . In addition , the Articles gave the weak federal government no taxing power : it was wholly dependent on the states for its money , and had no power to force delinquent states to pay . Once the immediate task of winning the American Revolutionary War of 1775 to 1783 had passed , the states began to look to their own interests , and disputes arose . These included a dispute between Maryland and Virginia over the Potomac River and opposition to Rhode Island 's imposing taxes on all traffic passing through it on the post road . James Madison suggested that state governments should appoint commissioners `` to take into consideration the trade of the United States ; to examine the relative situation and trade of said states ; to consider how far a uniform system in their commercial regulations may be necessary to their common interests and permanent harmony '' . Another impetus for the convention was Shays ' Rebellion of 1786 - 1787 . A political conflict between Boston merchants and rural farmers over issues including tax debts had broken out into an open rebellion . This rebellion was led by a former Revolutionary War captain , Daniel Shays , a small farmer with tax debts , who had never received payment for his service in the Continental Army . The rebellion took months for Massachusetts to put down completely , and some desired a federal army that would be able to put down such insurrections . These and other issues greatly worried many of the Founders that the Union as it existed up to that point was in danger of breaking apart , and being subject to the persuasion of foreign powers . In September 1786 , at the Annapolis Convention , delegates from five states called for a Constitutional Convention in order to discuss possible improvements to the Articles of Confederation . The subsequent Constitutional Convention took place in Philadelphia , convening in the Old Pennsylvania State House ( then becoming known as Independence Hall ) on May 14 , 1787 . Rhode Island , fearing that the Convention would work to its disadvantage , boycotted the Convention and , when the Constitution was put to the states during the next year of controversial debates , initially refused to ratify it , waiting until May 1790 to become the thirteenth , a year after the new federal government commenced . The Convention ( edit ) Independence Hall 's Assembly Room Due to the difficulty of travel in the late 18th century , very few of the selected delegates were present on the designated day of May 14 , 1787 , and it was not until May 25 that a quorum of seven states was secured . ( New Hampshire delegates would not join the Convention until more than halfway through the proceedings , on July 23 . ) James Madison arrived first , and soon most of the Virginia delegation arrived . While waiting for the other delegates , the Virginia delegation produced the Virginia Plan , which was designed and written by James Madison . On May 25 , the delegations convened in the Pennsylvania State House . George Washington was unanimously elected president of the Convention , and it was agreed that the discussions and votes would be kept secret until the conclusion of the meeting . Despite the sweltering summer heat , the windows of the meeting hall were nailed shut to keep the proceedings a secret from the public . Although William Jackson was elected as secretary , his records were brief and included very little detail . Madison 's Notes of Debates in the Federal Convention of 1787 , supplemented by the notes of Robert Yates , remain the most complete record of the Convention . Throughout the debate , delegates constantly referred to precedents from history in support of their position . Most commonly , they referred to the history of England , in particular the Glorious Revolution ( often simply called `` The Revolution '' ) , classical history ( mainly the Roman Republic and the leagues of Greek city - states ) , and recent precedents from Holland and Germany . Outside the Convention in Philadelphia , there was a national convening of the Society of the Cincinnati . Washington was said to be embarrassed . The 1776 `` old republican '' delegates like Elbridge Gerry ( MA ) found anything military or hereditary anathema . The Presbyterian Synod of Philadelphia and New York convention was meeting to redefine its Confession , dropping the faith requirement for civil authority to prohibit false worship . Protestant Episcopalian Washington attended a Roman Catholic Mass and dinner . Revolution veteran Jonas Phillips , of the Mikveh Israel Synagogue , petitioned the Convention to avoid a national oath including belief in both Old and New Testaments . Merchants of Providence , Rhode Island , petitioned for consideration , though their Assembly had not sent a delegation . Manasseh Cutler came directly from the capital in New York and found himself a frequent dinner guest among the delegates . He carried grants of five million acres to parcel out among The Ohio Company and `` speculators '' , including some who were attending the Convention . A Philadelphia guest of Robert Morris , Noah Webster would write a pamphlet immediately after the signing . `` Leading Principles of the Federal Convention '' advocated adoption of the Constitution . It was published much earlier and more widely circulated than today 's better known Federalist Papers . James Madison 's blueprint ( edit ) While waiting for the Convention to formally begin , James Madison sketched out his initial draft , which became known as the Virginia Plan and reflected his views as a strong nationalist . By the time the rest of the Virginia delegation arrived , most of the Pennsylvania delegation had arrived as well . They agreed on Madison 's plan , and formed what came to be the predominant coalition . By the time the Convention started , the only blueprints that had been assembled were Madison 's Virginia Plan , and Charles Pinckney 's plan . As Pinckney did n't have a coalition behind his plan , Madison 's plan was the starting point for deliberations . James Madison , the author of the Virginia Plan The Convention agreed on several principles . Most importantly , they agreed that the Convention should go beyond its mandate merely to amend the Articles of Confederation , and instead should produce a new constitution outright . While some delegates thought this illegal , the Articles of Confederation were closer to a treaty between sovereign states than they were to a national constitution , so the genuine legal problems were limited . Another principle they agreed on was that the new government would have all the powers of the Confederation Congress , plus additional powers over the states . Once agreeing on these principles , the Convention voted on the Virginia plan and signaled their approval for it . Once this was done , they began modifying it . Madison 's plan operated on several assumptions that were not seriously challenged . During the deliberations , few raised serious objections to the planned bicameral congress , nor the separate executive function , nor the separate judicial function . As English law had typically recognized government as having two separate functions , law making embodied in the legislature , and law executing embodied in the king and his courts , the division of the legislature from the executive and judiciary was a natural and uncontested point . The division of the legislature into an upper and lower house was n't questioned either , despite the obscure origins of the English House of Lords and its role as the representative of the hereditary nobility . Americans had seldom known any but bicameral legislatures , both in Britain and in most state governments . The main exceptions to this were the dysfunctional Confederation Congress and the unicameral Pennsylvania legislature , which was seen as quickly vacillating between partisan extremes after each election . Experience had convinced the delegates that an upper house was necessary to tame the passions of the lower classes against the interests of wealthy merchants and landowners . Since America had no native hereditary aristocracy , the character of this upper house was designed to protect the interests of this wealthy elite , the `` minority of the opulent , '' against the interests of the lower classes , who constituted the majority of the population . In England , at this day , if elections were open to all classes of people , the property of landed proprietors would be insecure . An agrarian law would soon take place . If these observations be just , our government ought to secure the permanent interests of the country against innovation . Landholders ought to have a share in the government , to support these invaluable interests , and to balance and check the other . They ought to be so constituted as to protect the minority of the opulent against the majority . The Senate , therefore , ought to be this body ; and to answer these purposes , they ought to have permanency and stability . -- James Madison , quoted in Notes of the Secret Debates of the Federal Convention of 1787 by Robert Yates On Thursday , June 7 , it was proposed that senators should be chosen directly by the state legislatures , instead of by popular vote , as this method was more likely to preserve the power of the upper classes . Convention delegate Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts observed that `` the great mercantile interest and of stockholders , is not provided for in any mode of election - they will however be better represented if the State legislatures choose the second branch . '' The proposal was carried unanimously . The delegates also agreed with Madison that the executive function had to be independent of the legislature . In their aversion to kingly power , American legislatures had created state governments where the executive was beholden to the legislature , and by the late 1780s this was widely seen as being a source of paralysis . The Confederation government was the ultimate example of this . Furthermore , in the English tradition , judges were seen as being agents of the King and his court , who represented him throughout his realm . Madison believed that in the American states , this direct link between state executives and judges was a source of corruption through patronage , and thought the link had to be severed between the two , thus creating the `` third branch '' of the judiciary which had been without any direct precedent before this point . Madison , however , did not believe that the judiciary should be truly independent , but rather beholden to the legislature rather than the executive . At the Convention , some sided with Madison that the legislature should choose judges , while others believed the president should choose judges . A compromise was eventually reached that the president should choose judges and the Senate confirm them . In a few areas , Madison 's plan included provisions that had little support among the delegates . Few agreed with Madison that the legislature should be able to invalidate state laws , so the idea was dropped . While most thought there should be some mechanism to invalidate bad laws by congress , few agreed with Madison that a board of the executive and judges should decide on this . Instead , the power was given solely to the executive in the form of the veto . Many also thought this would be useful to protect the executive , whom many worried might become beholden to an imperial legislature . Also , during the deliberations , the New Jersey Plan was introduced , although it was more of a protest to the excessive national character of the Virginia plan , and was not seriously considered . The office of Vice President was also included later in the deliberations , mainly to provide the president a successor if he was unable to complete his term but also to provide presidential electors with an incentive to vote for at least one out of state candidate in addition to a `` favorite son '' from their own state or region . The early debate ( edit ) Each state was allowed to cast a single vote either for or against a proposal during the debates in accordance with the majority opinion of the state 's delegates . Throughout the Convention , delegates would regularly come and go , with only 30 -- 40 being present on a typical day . Consequently , if a state 's delegates were equally divided in their views on a given proposal , or if too few of the state 's delegates were in attendance to establish a quorum for the delegation when votes were being cast on a particular proposal , that state 's delegation had essentially no effect on the outcome of the vote on the proposal . Thus , for example , after two of New York 's three delegates abandoned the Convention in mid July with no intention of returning , New York was left unable to vote on any further proposals at the Convention , although Hamilton would continue to periodically attend and occasionally to speak during the debates . All communities divide themselves into the few and the many . The first are the rich and well born , the other the mass of the people . The voice of the people has been said to be the voice of God ; and however generally this maxim has been quoted and believed , it is not true in fact . The people are turbulent and changing ; they seldom judge or determine right . Give therefore to the first class a distinct , permanent share in the government . They will check the unsteadiness of the second , and as they can not receive any advantage by a change , they therefore will ever maintain good government . Can a democratic assembly , who annually revolve in the mass of the people , be supposed steadily to pursue the public good ? Nothing but a permanent body can check the imprudence of democracy . Their turbulent and uncontroling disposition requires checks . -- Alexander Hamilton , quoted in Notes of the Secret Debates of the Federal Convention of 1787 by Robert Yates The first area of major dispute was the manner by which the lower house would be apportioned . A minority wanted it to be apportioned so that all states would have equal weight , though this was never seriously considered . Most wanted it apportioned in accordance with some mixture of property and population . Though there was discussion on how to calculate property for this purpose , the issue of property was later dropped because of its difficulty , and an assumption that property would closely correlate to population . Most accepted the desire among the slave states to count slaves as part of the population , although their servile status was raised as a major objection against this . The Three - Fifths Compromise assessing population by adding the number of free persons to three - fifths of `` all other persons '' ( slaves ) was agreed to without serious dispute . In 1783 , when attempting to assess a national taxation system , the Confederation Congress had considered a three fifths ratio , which did not achieve unanimity . This compromise resulted in a large coalition of states , including the small slave states of South Carolina and Georgia , backing the Virginia plan and thus expanding the power of the primary coalition . That the lower house was to be elected directly by the voters was also accepted without major dispute . More contentious than the lower house was the question of the upper house . Few agreed with Madison that its members should be elected by the lower house . James Wilson suggested election by popular vote versus election by state legislature , but his proposal was shot down 10 -- 1 by the delegates . Most delegates did n't question the intelligence of the voters , rather what concerned them was the slowness by which information spread in the late 18th century . At the time of the Convention , they noted that local newspapers said little of current events , and what little they had was sketchy and dated . Local papers even said little about the meeting of the Convention . Alexander Hamilton proposed extending the term in office for senators to life , considering earlier proposals of four and seven years inefficient to enable the `` rich and well born '' to have a `` distinct , permanent share in the government , '' which could `` check the imprudence of democracy . '' Moreover , Hamilton proposed that senators not be elected directly by the general public , but by `` electors '' chosen for that purpose . Front side of the Virginia Plan Besides the problems of direct election , the new Constitution was seen as such a radical break with the old system , by which delegates were elected to the Confederation Congress by state legislatures , that the Convention agreed to retain this method of electing senators to make the constitutional change less radical . The more difficult problem was the issue of apportionment . The Connecticut delegation offered a compromise , whereby the number of representatives for each state in the lower house would be apportioned based on the relative size of the state 's population , while the number of representatives in the upper house would be the same for all of the states , irrespective of size . The large states , fearing a diminution of their influence in the legislature under this plan , opposed this proposal . Unable to reach agreement , the delegates decided to leave this issue for further consideration later during the meeting . The delegates could n't agree on whether the executive should be a single person , or a board of three . Many wished to limit the power of the executive and thus supported the proposal to divide the executive power between three persons . The possible problems of this system , in addition to the knowledge that George Washington would probably be the first president , calmed the fears enough so that the proponents of a singular executive could accumulate a large coalition . This issue came up occasionally after the matter was settled , but was never again seriously doubted . Another issue concerned the election of the president . Few agreed with Madison that the executive should be elected by the legislature . There was widespread concern with direct election , because information diffused so slowly in the late 18th century , and because of concerns that people would only vote for candidates from their state or region . A vocal minority wanted the national executive to be chosen by the governors of the states . The issue was one of the last major issues to be resolved , and was done so in the electoral college . At the time , before the formation of modern political parties , there was widespread concern that candidates would routinely fail to secure a majority of electors in the electoral college . The method of resolving this problem therefore was a contested issue . Most thought that the house should then choose the president , since it most closely reflected the will of the people . This caused dissension among delegates from smaller states , who realized that this would put their states at a disadvantage . To resolve this dispute , the Convention agreed that the house would elect the president if no candidate had an electoral college majority , but that each state delegation would vote as a bloc , rather than individually . As the Convention was entering its second full month of deliberations , it was decided that further consideration of the prickly question of how to apportion representatives in the national legislature should be referred to a committee composed of one delegate from each of the eleven states that were present at that time at the Convention . The members of this `` Grand Committee , '' as it has come to be known , included Elbridge Gerry , Oliver Ellsworth , Robert Yates , William Paterson , Gunning Bedford , Jr. , George Mason , William Davie , John Rutledge , Abraham Baldwin , and Benjamin Franklin . In its report to the Convention on July 5 , the committee offered a compromise . The large states had opposed the Connecticut Compromise , because they felt it gave too much power to the smaller states . The Grand Committee 's proposal added the requirement that revenue bills originate in the lower house and not be subject to modification by the upper house ( although this Origination Clause would later be modified so that revenue bills could be amended in the upper house , or Senate ) . With this modification , the Convention in a close vote adopted the compromise on July 16 . Nationalist delegates remained bitterly opposed , however , until on July 23 they succeeded in further modifying the compromise to give members of the Senate individual voting power , rather than having votes taken by each state 's representatives en bloc , as had occurred in Congress under the Articles of Confederation . This accomplished the nationalist goal of preventing state governments from having a direct say in Congress 's choice to make national laws . The final document was thus a mixture of Madison 's original `` national '' constitution and the desired `` federal '' Constitution that many of the delegates sought . The first draft ( edit ) The Convention adjourned from July 26 to August 6 to await the report of the Committee of Detail , which was to produce a first draft of the Constitution . It was chaired by John Rutledge , with the other members including Edmund Randolph , Oliver Ellsworth , James Wilson , and Nathaniel Gorham . Though the committee did not record minutes of its proceedings , three key surviving documents offer clues to the committee 's handiwork : an outline by Randolph with edits by Rutledge , extensive notes and a second draft by Wilson , also with Rutledge 's edits , and the committee 's final report to the Convention . From this evidence it is thought that the committee used the original Virginia Plan , the decisions of the Convention on modifications to that plan , and other sources , such as the Articles of Confederation , provisions of the state constitutions , and even Charles Pinckney 's plan , to produce the first full draft , which author David O. Stewart has called a `` remarkable copy - and - paste job . '' Randolph adopted two rules in preparing his initial outline : that the Constitution should only include essential principles , avoiding minor provisions that would change over time , and that it should be stated in simple and precise language . Much of what was included in the committee 's report consisted of numerous details that the Convention had never discussed but which the committee correctly viewed as uncontroversial and unlikely to be challenged ; and as such , much of the committee 's proposal would ultimately be incorporated into the final version of the Constitution without debate . Examples of these details included the Speech and Debate Clause , which grants members of Congress immunity for comments made in their jobs , and the rules for organizing the House of Representatives and the Senate . However , Rutledge , himself a former state governor , was determined that while the new national government should be stronger than the Confederation government had been , the national government 's power over the states should not be limitless ; and at Rutledge 's urging , the committee went beyond what the Convention had proposed . As Stewart describes it , the committee `` hijacked '' and remade the Constitution , altering critical agreements the Convention delegates had already made , enhancing the powers of the states at the expense of the national government , and adding several far - reaching provisions that the Convention had never discussed . John Rutledge , a judge and former governor of South Carolina , chaired the committee that wrote the first draft of the Constitution . He argued for a federal government of limited power . The first major change , insisted on by Rutledge , was meant to sharply curtail the essentially unlimited powers to legislate `` in all cases for the general interests of the Union '' that the Convention only two weeks earlier had agreed to grant the Congress . Rutledge and Randolph worried that the broad powers implied in the language agreed on by the Convention would have given the national government too much power at the expense of the states . In Randolph 's outline the committee replaced that language with a list of 18 specific `` enumerated '' powers , many adopted from the Articles of Confederation , that would strictly limit the Congress ' authority to measures such as imposing taxes , making treaties , going to war , and establishing post offices . Rutledge , however , was not able to completely convince all of the members of the committee to accept the change . Over the course of a series of drafts , a catchall provision ( the `` Necessary and Proper Clause '' ) was eventually added , most likely by Wilson , a nationalist little concerned with the sovereignty of individual states , giving the Congress the broad power `` to make all Laws that shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers , and all other powers vested by this Constitution in the government of the United States , or in any department or officer thereof . '' Another revision of Wilson 's draft also placed eight specific limits on the states , such as barring them from independently entering into treaties and from printing their own money , providing a certain degree of balance to the limits on the national government intended by Rutledge 's list of enumerated powers . In addition , Wilson 's draft modified the language of the Supremacy Clause adopted by the Convention , to ensure that national law would take precedence over inconsistent state laws . These changes set the final balance between the national and state governments that would be entered into the final document , as the Convention never challenged this dual - sovereignty between nation and state that had been fashioned by Rutledge and Wilson . Another set of radical changes introduced by the Committee of Detail proved far more contentious when the committee 's report was presented to the Convention . On the day the Convention had agreed to appoint the committee , Southerner Charles Cotesworth Pinckney , of South Carolina , had warned of dire consequences should the committee fail to include protections for slavery in the Southern states , or allow for taxing of Southern agricultural exports . Pinckney and his fellow Southern delegates must have been delighted to see that the committee had included three provisions that explicitly restricted the Congress ' authority in ways favorable to Southern interests . The proposed language would bar the Congress from ever interfering with the slave trade . It would also prohibit taxation of exports , and would require that any legislation concerning regulation of foreign commerce through tariffs or quotas ( that is , any laws akin to England 's `` Navigation Acts '' ) pass only with two - thirds majorities of both houses of Congress . While much of the rest of the committee 's report would be accepted without serious challenge on the Convention floor , these last three proposals would provoke outrage from Northern delegates and slavery opponents . The final report of the committee , which became the first draft of the Constitution , was the first workable constitutional plan , as Madison 's Virginia Plan had simply been an outline of goals and a broad structure . Even after it issued this report , the committee continued to meet off and on until early September . Further modifications and concluding debate ( edit ) Another month of discussion and relatively minor refinement followed , during which several attempts were made to alter the Rutledge draft , though few were successful . Some wanted to add property qualifications for people to hold office , while others wanted to prevent the national government from issuing paper money . Madison in particular wanted to push the Constitution back in the direction of his Virginia plan . One important change that did make it into the final version included the agreement between northern and southern delegates to empower Congress to end the slave trade starting in 1808 . Southern and northern delegates also agreed to strengthen the Fugitive Slave Clause in exchange for removing a requirement that two - thirds of Congress agree on `` navigation acts '' ( regulations of commerce between states and foreign governments ) . The two - thirds requirement was favored by southern delegates , who thought Congress might pass navigation acts that would be economically harmful to slaveholders . Once the Convention had finished amending the first draft from the Committee of Detail , a new set of unresolved questions were sent to several different committees for resolution . The Committee of Detail was considering several questions related to habeas corpus , freedom of the press , and an executive council to advise the president . Two committees addressed questions related to the slave trade and the assumption of war debts . A new committee was created , the Committee on Postponed Parts , to address other questions that had been postponed . Its members , such as Madison , were delegates who had shown a greater desire for compromise and were chosen for this reason as most in the Convention wanted to finish their work and go home . The committee dealt with questions related to the taxes , war making , patents and copyrights , relations with Indian tribes , and Franklin 's compromise to require money bills to originate in the House . The biggest issue they addressed was the presidency , and the final compromise was written by Madison with the committee 's input . They adopted Wilson 's earlier plan for choosing the president by an electoral college , and settled on the method of choosing the president if no candidate had an electoral college majority , which many such as Madison thought would be `` nineteen times out of twenty '' . The committee also shortened the president 's term from seven years to four years , freed the president to seek re-election after an initial term , and moved impeachment trials from the courts to the Senate . They also created the office of the vice president , whose only roles were to succeed a president unable to complete a term of office , to preside over the Senate , and to cast tie - breaking votes in the Senate . The committee transferred important powers from the Senate to the president , for example the power to make treaties and appoint ambassadors . One controversial issue throughout much of the Convention had been the length of the president 's term , and whether the president was to be term limited . The problem had resulted from the understanding that the president would be chosen by Congress ; the decision to have the president be chosen instead by an electoral college reduced the chance of the president becoming beholden to Congress , so a shorter term with eligibility for re-election became a viable option . Near the end of the Convention , Gerry , Randolph , and Mason emerged as the main force of opposition . Their fears were increased as the Convention moved from Madison 's vague Virginia Plan to the concrete plan of Rutledge 's Committee of Detail . Some have argued that Randolph 's attacks on the Constitution were motivated by political ambition , in particular his anticipation of possibly facing rival Patrick Henry in a future election . The main objection of the three was the compromise that would allow Congress to pass `` navigation acts '' with a simple majority in exchange for strengthened slave provisions . Among their other objections was an opposition to the office of vice president . Though most of their complaints did not result in changes , a couple did . Mason succeeded in adding `` high crimes and misdemeanors '' to the impeachment clause . Gerry also convinced the Convention to include a second method for ratification of amendments . The report out of the Committee of Detail had included only one mechanism for constitutional amendment , in which two - thirds of the states had to ask Congress to convene a convention for consideration of amendments . Upon Gerry 's urging , the Convention added back the Virginia Plan 's original method whereby Congress would propose amendments that the states would then ratify . All amendments to the Constitution , save the 21st amendment , have been made through this latter method . Despite their successes , these three dissenters grew increasingly unpopular as most other delegates wanted to bring the Convention 's business to an end and return home . As the Convention was drawing to a conclusion , and delegates prepared to refer the Constitution to the Committee on Style to pen the final version , one delegate raised an objection over civil trials . He wanted to guarantee the right to a jury trial in civil matters , and Mason saw in this a larger opportunity . Mason told the Convention that the constitution should include a bill of rights , which he thought could be prepared in a few hours . Gerry agreed , though the rest of the committee overruled them . They wanted to go home , and thought this was nothing more than another delaying tactic . Few at the time realized how important the issue would become , with the absence of a bill of rights becoming the main argument of the anti-Federalists against ratification . Most of the Convention 's delegates thought that states already protected individual rights , and that the Constitution did not authorize the national government to take away rights , so there was no need to include protections of rights . Once the Convention moved beyond this point , the delegates addressed a couple of last - minute issues . Importantly , they modified the language that required spending bills to originate in the House of Representatives and be flatly accepted or rejected , unmodified , by the Senate . The new language empowered the Senate to modify spending bills proposed by the House . Drafting and signing ( edit ) Further information : Signing of the United States Constitution U.S. Postage , Issue of 1937 , depicting Delegates at the signing of the Constitution , engraving after a painting by Junius Brutus Stearns Once the final modifications had been made , the Committee of Style and Arrangement was appointed `` to revise the style of and arrange the articles which had been agreed to by the house . '' Unlike other committees , whose members were named so the committees included members from different regions , this final committee included no champions of the small states . Its members were mostly in favor of a strong national government and unsympathetic to calls for states ' rights . They were William Samuel Johnson ( Connecticut ) , Alexander Hamilton ( New York ) , Gouverneur Morris ( Pennsylvania ) , James Madison ( Virginia ) , and Rufus King ( Massachusetts ) . On Wednesday , September 12 , the report of the `` committee of style '' was ordered printed for the convenience of the delegates . For three days , the Convention compared this final version with the proceedings of the Convention . The Constitution was then ordered engrossed on Saturday , September 15 by Jacob Shallus , and was submitted for signing on September 17 . It made at least one important change to what the Convention had agreed to ; King wanted to prevent states from interfering in contracts . Although the Convention never took up the matter , his language was now inserted , creating the contract clause . Gouverneur Morris is credited , both now and then , as the chief draftsman of the final document , including the stirring preamble . Not all the delegates were pleased with the results ; thirteen left before the ceremony , and three of those remaining refused to sign : Edmund Randolph of Virginia , George Mason of Virginia , and Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts . George Mason demanded a Bill of Rights if he was to support the Constitution . The Bill of Rights was not included in the Constitution submitted to the states for ratification , but many states ratified the Constitution with the understanding that a bill of rights would soon follow . Shortly before the document was to be signed , Gorham proposed to lower the size of congressional districts from 40,000 to 30,000 citizens . A similar measure had been proposed earlier , and failed by one vote . George Washington spoke up here , making his only substantive contribution to the text of the Constitution in supporting this move . The Convention adopted it without further debate . Gorham would sign the document , although he had openly doubted whether the United States would remain a single , unified nation for more than 150 years . Ultimately , 39 of the original 55 delegates ended up signing , but it is likely that none were completely satisfied . Their views were summed up by Benjamin Franklin , who said , `` I confess that There are several parts of this Constitution which I do not at present approve , but I am not sure I shall never approve them ... I doubt too whether any other Convention we can obtain , may be able to make a better Constitution ... It therefore astonishes me , Sir , to find this system approaching so near to perfection as it does ; and I think it will astonish our enemies ... '' Rhode Island never sent delegates , and two of New York 's three delegates did not stay at the Convention for long . Therefore , as George Washington stated , the document was executed by `` eleven states , and Colonel Hamilton . '' Washington signed the document first , and then moving by state delegation from north to south , as had been the custom throughout the Convention , the delegates filed to the front of the room to sign their names . At the time the document was signed , Franklin gave a persuasive speech involving an anecdote on a sun that was painted on the back of Washington 's Chippendale chair . As recounted in Madison 's notes : Whilst the last members were signing it Doctor . Franklin looking towards the Presidents Chair , at the back of which a rising sun happened to be painted , observed to a few members near him , that Painters had found it difficult to distinguish in their art a rising from a setting sun . I have said he , often and often in the course of the Session , and the vicissitudes of my hopes and fears as to its issue , looked at that behind the President without being able to tell whether it was rising or setting : But now at length I have the happiness to know that it is a rising and not a setting Sun . The Constitution was then submitted to the states for ratification , pursuant to its own Article VII . Proposed plans ( edit ) Several plans were introduced , with the most important plan being that of James Madison ( the Virginia Plan ) . The Convention 's work was mostly a matter of modifying this plan . Charles Pinckney also introduced a plan , although this was n't considered and its exact character has been lost to history . After the Convention was well under way , the New Jersey Plan was introduced though never seriously considered . It was mainly a protest to what some delegates thought was the excessively radical change from the Articles of Confederation . Alexander Hamilton also offered a plan after the Convention was well under way , though it included an executive serving for life and therefore the delegates felt it too closely resembled a monarchy . Historians are unsure how serious he was about this , and some have speculated that he may have done it to make Madison 's plan look moderate by comparison . The Connecticut Compromise was n't a plan but one of several compromises offered by the Connecticut delegation . It was key to the ultimate ratification of the constitution , but was only included after being modified by Benjamin Franklin in order to make it more appealing to larger states . Virginia plan ( edit ) Main article : Virginia Plan The Virginia Plan Prior to the start of the Convention , the Virginian delegates met and , drawing largely from Madison 's suggestions , came up with what came to be known as the Virginia Plan , also known as the Large State Plan . For this reason , James Madison is sometimes called the Father of the Constitution . Presented by Virginia governor Edmund Randolph on May 29 , 1787 , the Virginia Plan proposed a very powerful bicameral legislature . Both houses of the legislature would be determined proportionately . The lower house would be elected by the people , and the upper house would be elected by the lower house . The executive would exist solely to ensure that the will of the legislature was carried out and would therefore be selected by the legislature . The Virginia Plan also created a judiciary , and gave both the executive and some of the judiciary the power to veto , subject to override . New Jersey plan ( edit ) Main article : New Jersey Plan The New Jersey Plan After the Virginia Plan was introduced , New Jersey delegate William Paterson asked for an adjournment to contemplate the Plan . Under the Articles of Confederation , each state had equal representation in Congress , exercising one vote each . The Virginia Plan threatened to limit the smaller states ' power by making both houses of the legislature proportionate to population . On June 14 and 15 , 1787 , a small - state caucus met to create a response to the Virginia Plan . The result was the New Jersey Plan , otherwise known as the Small State Plan . Paterson 's New Jersey Plan was ultimately a rebuttal to the Virginia Plan , and was much closer to the initial call for the Convention : drafting amendments to the Articles of Confederation to fix the problems in it . Under the New Jersey Plan , the existing Continental Congress would remain , but it would be granted new powers , such as the power to levy taxes and force their collection . An executive branch was created , to be elected by Congress ( the plan allowed for a multi-person executive ) . The executives would serve a single term and were subject to recall on the request of state governors . The plan also created a judiciary that would serve for life , to be appointed by the executives . Lastly , any laws set by Congress would take precedence over state laws . When Paterson reported the plan to the Convention on June 15 , 1787 , it was ultimately rejected , but it gave the smaller states a rallying point for their interests . Hamilton 's plan ( edit ) The Hamilton Plan Unsatisfied with the New Jersey Plan and the Virginia Plan , Alexander Hamilton proposed his own plan . It also was known as the British Plan , because of its resemblance to the British system of strong centralized government . In his plan , Hamilton advocated virtually doing away with state sovereignty and consolidating the states into a single nation . The plan featured a bicameral legislature , the lower house elected by the people for three years . The upper house would be elected by electors chosen by the people and would serve for life . The plan also gave the Governor , an executive elected by electors for a life - term of service , an absolute veto over bills . State governors would be appointed by the national legislature , and the national legislature had veto power over any state legislation . Hamilton presented his plan to the Convention on June 18 , 1787 . The plan was perceived as a well - thought - out plan , but it was not considered , because it resembled the British system too closely . It also contemplated the loss of most state authority , which the states were unwilling to allow . Pinckney 's plan ( edit ) The Pinckney Plan Immediately after Randolph finished laying out the Virginia Plan , Charles Pinckney of South Carolina presented his own plan to the Convention . As Pinckney did not write it down , the only evidence of the plan are Madison 's notes , so the details are somewhat vague . It was a confederation , or treaty , among the thirteen states . There was to be a bicameral legislature made up of a Senate and a House of Delegates . The House would have one member for every one thousand inhabitants . The House would elect Senators who would serve by rotation for four years and represent one of four regions . Congress would meet in a joint session to elect a President , and would also appoint members of the cabinet . Congress , in joint session , would serve as the court of appeal of last resort in disputes between states . Pinckney did also provide for a supreme Federal Judicial Court . The Pinckney plan was not debated , but it may have been referred to by the Committee of Detail . Connecticut compromise ( edit ) Main article : Connecticut Compromise The Connecticut Compromise , forged by Roger Sherman from Connecticut , was proposed on June 11 . In a sense it blended the Virginia ( large - state ) and New Jersey ( small - state ) proposals . Ultimately , however , its main contribution was in determining the apportionment of the Senate , and thus retaining a federal character in the constitution . Sherman sided with the two - house national legislature of the Virginia Plan , but proposed `` That the proportion of suffrage in the 1st . branch ( house ) should be according to the respective numbers of free inhabitants ; and that in the second branch or Senate , each State should have one vote and no more . '' This plan failed at first , but on July 23 the question was finally settled . What was ultimately included in the constitution was a modified form of this plan . In the Grand Committee , Benjamin Franklin successfully proposed the requirement that revenue bills originate in the house . But the final July 16 vote on the compromise still left the Senate looking like the Confederation Congress . In the preceding weeks of debate , Madison , King , and Gouverneur Morris each vigorously opposed the compromise for this reason . Then on July 23 , just before most of the convention 's work was referred to the Committee of Detail , Morris and King moved that state representatives in the Senate be given individual votes , rather than voting en bloc , as they had in the Confederation Congress . Oliver Ellsworth of Connecticut , a leading proponent of the compromise , supported their motion , and the Convention adopted it . As the personally powerful senators were to receive terms much longer than the state legislators who appointed them , they became substantially independent . The compromise nonetheless continued to serve the self - interest of small - state political leaders , who were assured of access to more seats in the Senate than they might otherwise have obtained . Slavery ( edit ) Among the most controversial issues confronting the delegates was that of slavery . Slavery was widespread in the states at the time of the Convention . At least a third of the Convention 's 55 delegates owned slaves , including all of the delegates from Virginia and South Carolina . Slaves comprised approximately one - fifth of the population of the states ; and apart from northernmost New England , where slavery had largely been eliminated , slaves lived throughout all regions of the country . The majority of the slaves ( more than 90 % ) , however , lived in the South , where approximately 1 in 3 families owned slaves ( in the largest and wealthiest state , Virginia , that figure was nearly 1 in 2 families ) . The entire agrarian economy of the South was based on slave labor , and the Southern delegates to the Convention were unwilling to accept any proposals that they believed would threaten the institution . Commerce and slave trade compromise ( edit ) Quaker John Dickinson argued forcefully against slavery during the Convention . Once Delaware 's largest slaveholder , he had freed all of his slaves by 1787 . Whether slavery was to be regulated under the new Constitution was a matter of such intense conflict between the North and South that several Southern states refused to join the Union if slavery were not to be allowed . Delegates opposed to slavery were forced to yield in their demands that slavery practiced within the confines of the new nation be completely outlawed . However , they continued to argue that the Constitution should prohibit the states from participating in the international slave trade , including in the importation of new slaves from Africa and the export of slaves to other countries . The Convention postponed making a final decision on the international slave trade until late in the deliberations because of the contentious nature of the issue . During the Convention 's late July recess , the Committee of Detail had inserted language that would prohibit the federal government from attempting to ban international slave trading and from imposing taxes on the purchase or sale of slaves . The Convention could not agree on these provisions when the subject came up again in late August , so they referred the matter to an eleven - member committee for further discussion . This committee helped work out a compromise : Congress would have the power to ban the international slave trade , but not for another twenty years ( that is , not until 1808 ) . In exchange for this concession , the federal government 's power to regulate foreign commerce would be strengthened by provisions that allowed for taxation of slave trades in the international market and that reduced the requirement for passage of navigation acts from two - thirds majorities of both houses of Congress to simple majorities . Three - fifths compromise ( edit ) Main article : Three - Fifths Compromise Another contentious slavery - related question was whether slaves would be counted as part of the population in determining representation of the states in the Congress , or would instead be considered property and as such not be considered for purposes of representation . Delegates from states with a large population of slaves argued that slaves should be considered persons in determining representation , but as property if the new government were to levy taxes on the states on the basis of population . Delegates from states where slavery had become rare argued that slaves should be included in taxation , but not in determining representation . Finally , delegate James Wilson proposed the Three - Fifths Compromise . This was eventually adopted by the Convention . Framers of the Constitution ( edit ) Fifty - five delegates attended sessions of the Constitutional Convention , and are considered the Framers of the Constitution , although only 39 delegates actually signed . The states had originally appointed 70 representatives to the Convention , but a number of the appointees did not accept or could not attend , leaving 55 who would ultimately craft the Constitution . Almost all of the 55 Framers had taken part in the Revolution , with at least 29 having served in the Continental forces , most in positions of command . All but two or three had served in colonial or state government during their careers . The vast majority ( about 75 % ) of the delegates were or had been members of the Confederation Congress , and many had been members of the Continental Congress during the Revolution . Several had been state governors . Just two delegates , Roger Sherman and Robert Morris , would be signatories to all three of the nation 's founding documents : the Declaration of Independence , the Articles of Confederation , and the Constitution . More than half of the delegates had trained as lawyers ( several had even been judges ) , although only about a quarter had practiced law as their principal means of business . There were also merchants , manufacturers , shippers , land speculators , bankers or financiers , two or three physicians , a minister , and several small farmers . Of the 25 who owned slaves , 16 depended on slave labor to run the plantations or other businesses that formed the mainstay of their income . Most of the delegates were landowners with substantial holdings , and most , with the possible exception of Roger Sherman and William Few , were very comfortably wealthy . George Washington and Robert Morris were among the wealthiest men in the entire country . Their depth of knowledge and experience in self - government was remarkable . As Thomas Jefferson in Paris semi-seriously wrote to John Adams in London , `` It really is an assembly of demigods . '' Delegates used two streams of intellectual tradition , and any one delegate could be found using both or a mixture depending on the subject under discussion : foreign affairs , the economy , national government , or federal relationships among the states .

( * ) Did not sign the final draft of the U.S. Constitution . Randolph , Mason , and Gerry were the only three present in Philadelphia at the time who refused to sign . Several prominent Founders are notable for not participating in the Constitutional Convention . Thomas Jefferson was abroad , serving as the minister to France . John Adams was in Britain , serving as minister to that country , but he wrote home to encourage the delegates . Patrick Henry refused to participate because he `` smelt a rat in Philadelphia , tending toward the monarchy . '' Also absent were John Hancock and Samuel Adams . Many of the states ' older and more experienced leaders may have simply been too busy with the local affairs of their states to attend the Convention , which had originally been planned to strengthen the existing Articles of Confederation , not to write a constitution for a completely new national government .

who chaired the constitutional convention during the summer of 1787
[ "George Washington was unanimously elected president of the Convention,[13] and it was agreed that the discussions and votes would be kept secret until the conclusion of the meeting.[5]:11 Despite the sweltering summer heat, the windows of the meeting hall were nailed shut to keep the proceedings a secret from the public.[History Alive! 1] Although William Jackson was elected as secretary, his records were brief and included very little detail. Madison's Notes of Debates in the Federal Convention of 1787, supplemented by the notes of Robert Yates, remain the most complete record of the Convention.[5]:162–64 Throughout the debate, delegates constantly referred to precedents from history in support of their position. Most commonly, they referred to the history of England, in particular the Glorious Revolution (often simply called \"The Revolution\"), classical history (mainly the Roman Republic and the leagues of Greek city-states), and recent precedents from Holland and Germany.\n" ]

Lombard Street (San Francisco)
Lombard Street ( San Francisco ) - wikipedia Lombard Street ( San Francisco ) Jump to : navigation , search Lombard Street Lombard Street seen from Coit Tower Maintained by San Francisco DPW Caltrans ( US 101 portion ) 37 ° 48 ′ 07 '' N 122 ° 25 ′ 08 '' W  /  37.80194 ° N 122.41889 ° W  / 37.80194 ; - 122.41889 West end Presidio Boulevard Major junctions US 101 East end The Embarcadero Lombard Street is an east -- west street in San Francisco , California that is famous for a steep , one - block section with eight hairpin turns . Stretching from The Presidio east to The Embarcadero ( with a gap on Telegraph Hill ) , most of the street 's western segment is a major thoroughfare designated as part of U.S. Route 101 . The famous one - block section , claimed as `` the crookedest street in the world '' , is located along the eastern segment in the Russian Hill neighborhood . The street was named after Lombard Street in Philadelphia by San Francisco surveyor Jasper O'Farrell . Contents ( hide ) 1 Route description 2 Gallery 3 See also 4 References 5 External links Route description ( edit ) Looking east down the curvy block of Lombard Street , with the straight section continuing towards Telegraph Hill and Coit Tower Lombard Street 's west end is at Presidio Boulevard inside The Presidio ; it then heads east through the Cow Hollow neighborhood . For twelve blocks , between Broderick Street and Van Ness Avenue , it is an arterial road that is co-signed as U.S. Route 101 . Lombard Street continues through the Russian Hill neighborhood and to the Telegraph Hill neighborhood . At Telegraph Hill it turns south , becoming Telegraph Hill Boulevard to Pioneer Park and Coit Tower . Lombard Street starts again at Winthrop Street and ends at The Embarcadero as a collector road . Lombard Street is known for the one - way block on Russian Hill between Hyde and Leavenworth Streets , where eight sharp turns are said to make it the most crooked street in the world . The design , first suggested by property owner Carl Henry and built in 1922 , was intended to reduce the hill 's natural 27 % grade , which was too steep for most vehicles . The crooked block is perhaps 600 feet ( 180 m ) long ( 412.5 feet ( 125.7 m ) straightline ) , is one - way ( downhill ) and is paved with red bricks . The sign at the top recommends 5 mph ( 8 km / h ) . The Powell - Hyde cable car stops at the top of the block on Hyde Street . Today , the Academy of Art University owns and operates a building called Star Hall on the street for housing purposes . Past residents of Lombard Street include Rowena Meeks Abdy , an early California painter who worked in the style of Impressionism . Gallery ( edit ) Looking up Lombard Street Traffic caution sign at top of switchbacks recommends a top speed of 5 miles per hour ( 8.0 km / h ) Cars exit from lowest switchback section Time - exposure photo at night clearly shows the 8 switchbacks Sign for Lombard Street at intersection with Leavenworth Street A panoramic view of Lombard Street See also ( edit ) San Francisco Bay Area portal 49 - Mile Scenic Drive Vermont Street , the other San Francisco street claimed to be the `` most crooked '' has seven turns instead of eight , but its hill is steeper than Lombard 's Snake Alley in Burlington , Iowa , once recognized by Ripley 's Believe It or Not ! as `` The Crookedest Street in the World '' .

what is the windiest street in san francisco
[ "Lombard Street is an east–west street in San Francisco, California that is famous for a steep, one-block section with eight hairpin turns. Stretching from The Presidio east to The Embarcadero (with a gap on Telegraph Hill), most of the street's western segment is a major thoroughfare designated as part of U.S. Route 101. The famous one-block section, claimed as \"the crookedest street in the world\", is located along the eastern segment in the Russian Hill neighborhood. The street was named after Lombard Street in Philadelphia by San Francisco surveyor Jasper O'Farrell.[1]" ]

Agni-III
Agni - III - Wikipedia Agni - III Jump to : navigation , search Agni - III Type Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile Place of origin India Service history In service Active Used by Strategic Forces Command Production history Designer Defence Research and Development Organisation ( DRDO ) Manufacturer Bharat Dynamics Limited Unit cost ₹ 250 million ( US $4 million ) -- ₹ 350 million ( US $5 million ) Specifications Weight 22,000 kg ( Operational Version ) Length 17 m Diameter 2.0 m Warhead Strategic nuclear weapon ( 15 to 250 kiloton ) ( 2000 to 2500 kg ) , conventional , thermobaric Engine Two stage solid propellant engine Propellant solid HTPB Operational range 3,500 km -- 5,000 km Flight altitude > 450 km Speed 5 -- 6 km / s Guidance system Ring Laser Gyro - INS ( Inertial Navigation System ) , optionally augmented by GPS , terminal guidance with possible radar scene correlation Steering system flex - nozzle Thrust vectoring ( first and second stage ) Accuracy 40 m CEP with terminal guidance Launch platform 8 × 8 TELAR ( Transporter erector launcher ) Rail Mobile Launcher Agni - III is an intermediate - range ballistic missile developed by India as the successor to Agni - II . It has a range of 3,500 km - 5,000 km , and is capable of engaging targets deep inside neighbouring countries , including Shanghai in China . The missile 's Circular error probable ( CEP ) is within 40 meters range , which makes it the most sophisticated and accurate ballistic missile of its range class in the world . In June 2011 , it was reported that Agni - III has been inducted into the armed forces and is under production . US Air Force National Air and Space Intelligence Center estimates that as of June 2017 less than 10 launchers were operationally deployed . Contents ( hide ) 1 Introduction 2 Description 3 Weight reduction and missile redesign 4 Propulsion 5 Maneuvering re-entry vehicle Agni RV Mk 4 6 K - 4 SLBM 7 Flight tests 8 References 9 External links Introduction ( edit ) India 's Credible minimum deterrence envisages a nuclear triad of counter-strike capability which required a long range missile to provide robust second strike capability . A missile system that can be dispersed far and wide in the Indian mainland , its far flung islands or its blue water naval assets dispersed across the world 's oceans . Following this necessity India developed a larger Agni - III missile , with a heavier payload and a longer range but in a compact configuration , i.e. thicker but shorter length . This development is driven by need for a more assured retaliation that can defeat emerging anti ballistic missile ( ABM ) defence and countermeasures . Such capability requires a compact missile that can also carry ABM counter-measure payloads along with weapons , in a configuration similar to a MIRV , albeit with state - of - the - art decoys . The Deputy Project director who was responsible for the writing of the user handbook manual was Lieutenant Colonel Rajeev Sharma . Description ( edit ) Agni III was developed as the successor to Agni - II . Designed by the Indian government 's Defence Research and Development Organisation , Agni III is a two - stage ballistic missile that is capable of nuclear weapons delivery . It was designed and developed by the Advanced Systems Laboratory ( ASL ) , a unit of DRDO , which was formed in September 2001 with its main objective being the development of large - sized rocket motors . ASL developed the propulsion plant for solid - fuel motors , including the infrastructure for propellant casting . The stubby two - stage solid fuel missile is compact and small enough for easy mobility and flexible deployment on various surface / sub-surface platforms . The missile is equipped with sophisticated navigation , guidance and control systems along with advanced on - board computer systems . The electronic systems are hardened for higher vibration , thermal and acoustic effects . A high performance indigenous ring laser gyro - based navigation system was flight - tested for the first time during the Agni - III trial on 7 Feb 2010 . The Agni - III has two stages with an overall diameter of two meters . Initially , the first stage mass was about 32 tonnes and 7.7 m long , the second stage mass was about 10 tonnes and 3.3 m long . The missile is likely to support a wide range of warhead configurations , with a 4,500 km range and a total payload weight of 2490 kg . Weight reduction and missile redesign ( edit ) DRDO carried out extensive technological enhancement to enhance the performance and to reduce the weight of the Agni - III missile system and to achieve this the entire system was redesigned including the use of maraging steel and a composite motor rocket . The weight of the Agni - III missile has been reduced to 22 tonnes . Propulsion ( edit ) The Agni - III features two solid fuelled stages and with overall diameter of 2.0 meters . This diameter is compatible with a recently tested Indian sub-surface launch system , which has a 2.3 meter diameter launch tube aperture . The first stage booster is made of advanced carbon composite materials to provide high payload fraction ( mass fraction ) . It is 7.7 meters long , with a diameter of 2 metres . The second stage made of maraging steel and has a length of 3.3 metres . The second stage has vectoring nozzles , to provide necessary flight trajectory control . Maneuvering re-entry Vehicle Agni RV mk 4 ( edit ) Agni - III supports a wide range of weapons , with total payload weight ranging from ~ 600 kg to 1,800 kg including decoys and other ABM countermeasures . Instead of conventional bus architecture , the RV ( Re-Entry Vehicle ) is self - contained with velocity correction package , navigation and re-entry control systems . The lighter and tougher RV body has an all - carbon composite re-entry heat shield with multi-directional carbon re-entry nose tip and control surfaces . The new lightweight composites can withstand temperatures of up to 6000 degrees Celsius , and are capable of greater re-entry velocity . K - 4 SLBM ( edit ) Main article : K - 4 ( SLBM ) The K - 4 missile is one of the series of missile developed under the K-X series . DRDO is working on a submarine - launched version of the Agni - III missile , which will provide India with a credible sea - based second - strike capability . The K - 4 missile , with a range of 3500 km , has been test - fired successfully multiple times - both from underwater pontoons and from INS Arihant . The K - 4 SLBM is expected to be the principal intermediate range missile for the Arihant class nuclear submarines . An as - yet unnamed variant of K - 4 with 5000 km range is under development . Flight tests ( edit ) Agni missile range The first test for Agni III was conducted from Abdul Kalam Island ( then known as Wheeler Island ) off the Bhadrak coast on 9 July 2006 . The launch proved to be unsuccessful , with the missile falling into the sea off the coast of Odisha , short of reaching the target . According to DRDO , the failure was due to a first stage anomaly that was caused by recirculating hot gases entering the missile - base shroud and damaging the electronic components . Indian Defence Minister Pranab Mukherjee reported it as `` partial success '' ( a trade euphemism to indicate the test generated useful data for diagnosis and correction ) as the missile was air - borne for only 5 minutes instead of the expected 15 minutes . Agni - III was test fired again on 12 April 2007 , from the Abdul Kalam Island off the coast of Odisha . This time , the launch was declared as a success . India 's Cabinet Committee on Security announced that `` This test confirms the extent of India 's nuclear reach and India 's nuclear deterrence as the missile can accurately hit targets at distance more than 3000 km away '' . Already the most powerful and capable in India 's missile inventory , the Agni - III is capable of carrying a variety of warheads , including nuclear warheads and can be launched from various platforms giving India intermediate range ballistic missile firepower and greatly extending India 's power projection in the region . Agni III was test fired successfully for third time on 7 May 2008 . The missile was launched from Balasore , Odisha . After a flight of roughly 15 minutes defence scientists confirmed that the test fire was successful and that the missile met all parameters . The missile has a velocity of 5,000 meters per second . Agni - III is a nuclear capable fully solid propellant fuelled surface - to - surface missile , and has a range of 3,500 km . A new software for navigation system fitted on the missile will increase accuracy and lethality . The successful test on 7 May opened the doors for the next generation Indian ICBM Agni V with a range of 5,000 -- 6,000 kilometres . The development test of Agni III was put off for unknown reasons in August 2009 . Agni III was tested successfully for the fourth time from Abdul Kalam Island in Odisha on 7 February 2010 . The missile is said to have hit the target with pin point accuracy and met all the mission objectives . Two down range ships located near the target tracked and witnessed the Missile reaching the target accurately . The missile is likely to support a wide range of warhead configurations , with a 3,500 km range and a total payload weight of 2490 kg . The two - stage solid fuel missile is compact and small enough for easy mobility and flexible deployment on various surface / sub-surface platforms . The test validated the nuclear triggering mechanism , meaning Agni - III is meant for strategic nuclear deterrence . The test launch is part of pre-induction of the missile into the Indian Army . In August 2010 , the defence minister of India announced that Agni - III is ready for induction and in June 2011 , it was reported that the Agni - III missile had already been inducted into the armed forces . In September 2012 , it is reported that a missile group is now being raised with Agni - III missiles . On 21 September 2012 , as part of regular user - training the Strategic Forces Command test fired an Agni III missile from a rail mobile launcher . The missile was randomly chosen from a production lot . All mission objectives were achieved and the missile hit the pre-designated target with a two - digit accuracy . On 23 December 2013 , the missile was tested by the Strategic Forces Command of the Indian Army . The test was a success . On 16 April 2015 , Agni - III was tested successfully from Abdul Kalam Island off Odisha coast . `` The trial , carried out by the Strategic Forces Command ( SFC of the Indian Army ) , was fully successful , '' ITR Director MVKV Prasad told PTI . On 27 April 2017 , Agni - III was tested successfully the launch Pad No. 4 of the Integrated Test Range at 9.12 a.m off Odisha coast . The Strategic Forces Command ( SFC ) carried out test with support from DRDO . References ( edit ) Jump up ^ Subramanian , T.S. ( 2006 ) . `` Agni - V next '' . Frontline , The Hindu .

The series chronicles the adventures and endeavors of the title character and his various friends in the fictional underwater city of Bikini Bottom . The series ' popularity has made it a media franchise , as well as the highest rated series to ever air on Nickelodeon , and the most distributed property of MTV Networks . As of late 2017 , the media franchise has generated $13 billion in merchandising revenue for Nickelodeon . Many of the ideas for the series originated in an unpublished educational comic book titled The Intertidal Zone , which Hillenburg created in 1989 . He began developing SpongeBob SquarePants into a television series in 1996 upon the cancellation of Rocko 's Modern Life , and turned to Tom Kenny , who had worked with him on that series , to voice the title character . SpongeBob was originally going to be named SpongeBoy , and the series was to be called SpongeBoy Ahoy ! , but both of these were changed , as the name was already trademarked . Nickelodeon held a preview for the series in the United States on May 1 , 1999 , following the television airing of the 1999 Kids ' Choice Awards . The series officially premiered on July 17 , 1999 . It has received worldwide critical acclaim since its premiere and gained enormous popularity by its second season . A feature film , The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie , was released in theaters on November 19 , 2004 , and a sequel was released on February 6 , 2015 . In 2017 , the series began airing its eleventh season and was renewed for a twelfth season . The series has won a variety of awards , including six Annie Awards , eight Golden Reel Awards , four Emmy Awards , 15 Kids ' Choice Awards , and two BAFTA Children 's Awards . Despite its widespread popularity , the series has been involved in several public controversies , including one centered on speculation over SpongeBob 's intended sexual orientation . In 2011 , a newly described species of fungi , Spongiforma squarepantsii , was named after the cartoon 's title character . A Broadway musical based on the series opened in 2017 to critical acclaim .

The series revolves around its title character and his various friends . SpongeBob SquarePants is an energetic and optimistic sea sponge who physically resembles a rectangular kitchen sponge . He lives in a submerged pineapple with his pet snail Gary ( who meows like a cat ) and has a childlike enthusiasm for life - which carries over to his job as a fry cook at a fast food restaurant called the Krusty Krab . SpongeBob 's favorite pastimes include `` jellyfishing '' ( which involves catching jellyfish with a net in a manner similar to butterfly catching ) and blowing soap bubbles into elaborate shapes . Living two houses down from SpongeBob is his best friend Patrick Star , a dim - witted yet friendly pink starfish who resides under a rock . Despite his mental setbacks , Patrick still sees himself as intelligent . Squidward Tentacles , SpongeBob 's next - door neighbor and co-worker at the Krusty Krab , is an arrogant and ill - tempered octopus , who lives in an Easter Island moai . He enjoys playing the clarinet and painting self - portraits , but hates his job as a cashier and bemoans living in - between SpongeBob and Patrick , due to their childish nature . The owner of the Krusty Krab is a miserly red crab named Mr. Krabs who talks like a sailor and runs his restaurant as if it were a pirate ship . Mr. Krabs is a single parent with one teenage daughter , a sperm whale named Pearl , to whom he wants to pass down his riches . Pearl does not wish to continue her father 's business and would rather spend her time listening to pop music or working at the local shopping mall . Another friend of SpongeBob is Sandy Cheeks , a thrill - seeking and athletic squirrel from Texas , who wears an air - filled diving suit to breathe underwater . She lives in an oak tree entrapped in a clear glass dome locked by an airtight , hand - turned seal and is an expert in karate , as well as a scientist . Located across the street from the Krusty Krab is an unsuccessful rival restaurant called the Chum Bucket . It is run by a small green copepod named Plankton and his talking supercomputer sidekick , Karen . Plankton constantly tries to steal the secret recipe for Mr. Krabs 's popular Krabby Patty burgers , hoping to gain the upper hand and put the Krusty Krab out of business . Karen supplies him with evil schemes to take the formula , but their efforts are never successful and their restaurant rarely gets any customers . When SpongeBob is not working at the Krusty Krab , he is often taking boat - driving lessons from Mrs. Puff , a paranoid but very patient pufferfish . SpongeBob is Mrs. Puff 's most diligent student and knows every answer to the oral exams he takes , but he panics and crashes whenever he tries to drive a real boat . When Mrs. Puff endures one of SpongeBob 's crashes or is otherwise frightened , she puffs up into a ball . Special episodes of the show are hosted by a live action pirate named Patchy and his pet parrot Potty , whose segments are presented in a dual narrative with the animated stories . Patchy is portrayed as the president of a fictional SpongeBob fan club , and his greatest aspiration is to meet SpongeBob himself . Potty likes to make fun of Patchy 's enthusiasm and causes trouble for him while he tries to host the show . An unseen figure called the French Narrator often introduces episodes and narrates the intertitles as if the series was a nature documentary about the ocean . His role and distinctive manner of speaking are references to the oceanographer Jacques Cousteau . Other recurring characters appear throughout the series , such as the muscular lifeguard of Goo Lagoon , Larry the Lobster ; a pirate specter known as the Flying Dutchman ; and retired superheroes Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy , who are idolized by SpongeBob and Patrick . Setting Bikini Atoll , a coral reef in the Pacific Ocean . Nickelodeon has named this as the real - world location of Bikini Bottom . The series primarily takes place in the benthic underwater city of Bikini Bottom , which is located in the Pacific Ocean beneath the real - life coral reef known as Bikini Atoll . In 2015 , Tom Kenny confirmed that the fictitious city was named after Bikini Atoll , but denied an Internet fan theory that connected the series ' characters to actual nuclear testing that occurred in the atoll . The citizens are mainly multicolored fish who live in buildings made from ship funnels and use `` boatmobiles '' , amalgamations of cars and boats , as a mode of transportation . Recurring locations within Bikini Bottom include the neighboring houses of SpongeBob , Patrick , and Squidward ; two competing restaurants , the Krusty Krab and the Chum Bucket ; Mrs. Puff 's Boating School , which includes a driving course and a sunken lighthouse building ; the Treedome , an oxygenated glass enclosure where Sandy lives ; Shady Shoals Rest Home ; a seagrass meadow called Jellyfish Fields ; and Goo Lagoon , a popular beach hangout . When the crew began production on the pilot , they were tasked with designing the stock locations where `` the show would return to again and again , and in which most of the action would take place , such as the Krusty Krab and SpongeBob 's pineapple house '' . The idea for the series was `` to keep everything nautical '' , so the crew used a great amount of rope , wooden planks , ships ' wheels , netting , anchors , boilerplates , and rivets in creating the show 's setting . Transitions between scenes are marked by bubbles filling up the screen , accompanied by the sound of water rushing . The series features `` sky flowers '' as a main setting material . They first appeared in the pilot and have since become a common feature throughout the series . When series background designer Kenny Pittenger was asked what they were , he answered , `` They function as clouds in a way , but since the show takes place underwater , they are n't really clouds . Because of the tiki influence on the show , the background painters use a lot of pattern . '' Pittenger said that the sky flowers were meant to `` evoke the look of a flower - print Hawaiian shirt '' . Production Development Early inspirations Before creating SpongeBob SquarePants , Stephen Hillenburg taught marine biology to visitors of the Ocean Institute ( located in Dana Point , California ) . Series creator Stephen Hillenburg first became fascinated with the ocean as a child . He also began developing his artistic abilities at a young age . Although these two interests would not overlap with each other for a long time -- the idea of drawing fish seemed boring to him -- Hillenburg pursued both during college , receiving a major in marine biology and a minor in art . After graduating in 1984 , he joined the Ocean Institute , an organization in Dana Point , California , dedicated to educating the public about marine science and maritime history . While Hillenburg was there , his love of the ocean began to influence his artistry . He created a precursor to SpongeBob SquarePants : a comic book titled The Intertidal Zone , which was used by the institute to teach visiting students about the animal life of tide pools . The comic starred various anthropomorphic sea lifeforms , many of which would evolve into SpongeBob SquarePants characters . Hillenburg tried to get the comic professionally published , but none of the companies that he sent it to were interested . Conception While working as a staff artist at the Ocean Institute , Hillenburg entertained plans of eventually returning to college for a master 's degree in art . Before this could materialize , he attended an animation festival , which inspired him to make a slight change in course . Instead of continuing his education with a traditional art program , Hillenburg chose to study experimental animation at the California Institute of the Arts . His thesis film , Wormholes , is about the theory of relativity . It was screened at festivals , and at one of these , Hillenburg met Joe Murray , creator of the popular Nickelodeon animated series , Rocko 's Modern Life . Murray was impressed by the style of the film and offered Hillenburg a job . Hillenburg joined the series as a director and later , during the fourth season , he took on the roles of producer and creative director . Martin Olson , one of the writers for Rocko 's Modern Life , read The Intertidal Zone and encouraged Hillenburg to create a television series with a similar concept . At that point , Hillenburg had not even considered creating his own series . However , he realized that if he ever did , this would be the best approach . He began to further develop some of the characters from The Intertidal Zone , including the comic 's `` announcer '' , Bob the Sponge . He wanted his series to stand out from most popular cartoons of the time , which he felt were exemplified by buddy comedies such as The Ren & Stimpy Show . As a result , Hillenburg decided to focus on a single main character : the `` weirdest '' sea creature that he could think of . This led him to the sponge . The Intertidal Zone 's Bob the Sponge resembles an actual sea sponge , and at first , Hillenburg continued to utilize this design . In determining the new character 's behavior , Hillenburg drew inspiration from innocent , childlike figures that he enjoyed , such as Charlie Chaplin , Laurel and Hardy , Jerry Lewis , and Pee - wee Herman . He then considered modeling the character after a kitchen sponge and realized that this idea would perfectly match the character 's square personality . Patrick , Mr. Krabs , Pearl , and Squidward were the first other characters Hillenburg created for the show . To voice the central character of the series , Hillenburg turned to Tom Kenny , whose career in animation had started alongside Hillenburg 's on Rocko 's Modern Life . Elements of Kenny 's own personality were employed in further developing the character . Initially , Hillenburg wanted to use the name SpongeBoy -- the character would have had no last name , and the series would have been called SpongeBoy Ahoy ! However , the Nickelodeon legal department discovered -- after voice acting had been completed for the original seven - minute pilot episode -- that the name `` SpongeBoy '' was already in use for a mop product . A character of the same name was also already trademarked by Flaming Carrot Comics creator Bob Burden . In choosing a replacement name , Hillenburg felt that he still had to use the word `` Sponge '' , so that viewers would not mistake the character for a `` Cheese Man '' . He settled on the name `` SpongeBob '' . `` SquarePants '' was then chosen as a family name after Kenny saw a picture of the character and remarked , `` Boy , look at this sponge in square pants , thinking he can get a job in a fast food place . '' Hillenburg loved the phrase upon hearing Kenny say it and felt that it would reinforce the character 's nerdiness . Assembling the crew Derek Drymon , who served as creative director for the first three seasons , has said that Hillenburg wanted to surround himself with a `` team of young and hungry people '' . Many of the major contributors to SpongeBob SquarePants had previously worked with Hillenburg on Rocko 's Modern Life : this included Drymon , art director Nick Jennings , supervising director Alan Smart , writer / voice actor Doug Lawrence ( often credited as Mr. Lawrence ) , and Tim Hill , who helped develop the series bible . Although Drymon had a significant influence on SpongeBob SquarePants , he was not initially offered a role on the series . As a late recruit to Rocko 's Modern Life , he had not established much of a relationship with Hillenburg before SpongeBob 's conception . Hillenburg first sought out Drymon 's storyboard partner , Mark O'Hare - but O'Hare had just created the soon - to - be syndicated comic strip , Citizen Dog , and while he would later join SpongeBob as a writer , lacked the time to get involved with both projects at the outset . Drymon has said , `` I remember Hillenburg 's bringing it up to Mark in our office and asking him if he 'd be interested in working on it ... I was all ready to say yes to the offer , but Steve did n't ask ; he just left the room . I was pretty desperate ... so I ran into the hall after him and basically begged him for the job . He did n't jump at the chance . '' Once Hillenburg had given it some thought and decided to bring Drymon on as creative director , the two began meeting at Hillenburg 's house multiple times a week to develop the series . Drymon has identified this period as having begun in 1996 , shortly after the end of Rocko 's Modern Life . Jennings was also instrumental in SpongeBob 's genesis . Kenny has called him `` one of SpongeBob 's early graphics mentors '' . On weekends , Kenny joined Hillenburg , Jennings , and Drymon for creative sessions , in which they captured ideas on a tape recorder . Kenny performed audio tests as SpongeBob during these sessions , while Hillenburg enacted voices for the other characters . Hill contributed scripts for several first - season episodes ( including the pilot ) and was offered the role of story editor , but turned it down - he would go on to pursue a career as a family film director . In his stead , Pete Burns was brought in for the job . Burns hailed from Chicago and had never met any of the principal players on SpongeBob before joining the team . Pitching `` The execs from Nickelodeon flew out to Burbank , and we pitched it to them from the storyboards . We had squeezy toys , wore Hawaiian shirts and used a boom box to play the Tiny Tim song ( ' Livin ' in the Sunlight , Lovin ' in the Moonlight ' ) that comes on in the third act . We really went all out in that pitch because we knew the pilot lived or died by if the execs laughed . When it was over , they walked out of the room to discuss it . We figured they would fly back to New York and we 'd hear in a few weeks . We were surprised when they came back in what seemed like minutes and said they wanted to make it '' . -- Derek Drymon In 1997 , while pitching the cartoon to Nickelodeon executives , Hillenburg donned a Hawaiian shirt , brought along an `` underwater terrarium with models of the characters '' , and played Hawaiian music to set the theme . The setup was described by Nickelodeon executive Eric Coleman as `` pretty amazing '' . When they were given money and two weeks to write the pilot episode `` Help Wanted '' , Derek Drymon , Stephen Hillenburg , and Nick Jennings returned with what was described by Nickelodeon official Albie Hecht as , `` a performance ( he ) wished ( he ) had on tape '' . Although executive producer Derek Drymon described the pitch as stressful , he said it went `` very well '' . Kevin Kay and Hecht had to step outside because they were `` exhausted from laughing '' , which worried the cartoonists . In an interview , Cyma Zarghami , the current president of Nickelodeon , said , `` their ( Nickelodeon executives ' ) immediate reaction was to see it again , both because they liked it and it was unlike anything they 'd ever seen before '' . Zarghami was one of four executives in the room when SpongeBob SquarePants was screened for the first time . Executive producers and showrunners `` It reached a point where I felt I 'd contributed a lot and said what I wanted to say . At that point , the show needed new blood , and so I selected Paul ( Tibbitt ) to produce . I totally trusted him . I always enjoyed the way he captured the SpongeBob character 's sense of humor . And as a writer , you have to move on -- I 'm developing new projects '' . -- Stephen Hillenburg , The Washington Post Series creator Stephen Hillenburg has served as the executive producer over the course of the series ' entire history and functioned as the showrunner from the series ' debut in 1999 until 2004 . The series went on hiatus in 2002 , after Hillenburg halted production to work on a feature film of the series , The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie . Once the film was finalized and the third season finished , Hillenburg resigned as the series ' showrunner . Although he no longer has a direct role in the production of the series , he still maintains an advisory role and reviews each episode . When the film was completed , Hillenburg intended it to be the series finale , `` so ( the show ) would n't jump the shark . '' However , Nickelodeon wanted more episodes , so Hillenburg appointed Paul Tibbitt , who previously served on the show as a writer , director , and storyboard artist , to take over his role as showrunner and produce further seasons . Hillenburg considered Tibbitt one of his favorite members of the show 's crew , and `` totally trusted him '' . On December 13 , 2014 , it was announced that Hillenburg would return to the series in an unspecified position . As of the ninth season , former writers and storyboard directors Vincent Waller and Marc Ceccarelli act as showrunners . Writing According to writer Luke Brookshier , `` SpongeBob is written differently than many television shows '' . Initial storylines are created by a team of five outline and premise writers . A two - page outline is then developed by storyboard artists into a full episode -- jokes and dialogue are added during this stage . Unlike most of its contemporaries , SpongeBob SquarePants does not use written scripts . Brookshier has likened this storyboarding process to how cartoons were made `` in the early days of animation . '' The decision to eschew scripts for storyboards is one that Hillenburg made early on in the series ' development . Rocko 's Modern Life had also used storyboarding , and having worked on that series , Hillenburg felt strongly about adopting the process for SpongeBob SquarePants -- even though Nickelodeon was beginning to show a greater preference for script - driven cartoons . Another writer for the series , Merriwether Williams , described in an interview that she and Mr. Lawrence would write a draft for an episode in an afternoon and be done at 4 o'clock . The writing staff often used their individual life experiences for inspirations to come up with the storylines of the series ' episodes . For example , the episode `` Sailor Mouth '' , in which SpongeBob and Patrick learn profanity , was inspired by creative director Derek Drymon 's experience of getting in trouble as a child for using the f - word in front of his mother . Drymon said , `` The scene where Patrick is running to Mr. Krabs to tattle , with SpongeBob chasing him , is pretty much how it happened in real life '' . The end of the episode , in which Mr. Krabs uses even more profanity than SpongeBob and Patrick , was inspired `` by the fact that my ( Drymon 's ) mother has a sailor mouth herself '' . The idea for the episode `` The Secret Box '' also came from one of Drymon 's childhood experiences . Hillenburg explained , `` Drymon had a secret box ( as a kid ) and started telling us about it . We wanted to make fun of him and use it . '' Almost every episode is divided into two 11 - minute segments . Hillenburg explained that `` ( I ) never really wanted to deliberately try to write a half - hour show '' . He added , `` I wrote the shows to where they felt right '' . Each 11 - minute segment takes about five months to produce . Voice actors Further information : List of SpongeBob SquarePants cast members and List of SpongeBob SquarePants guest stars `` Steve described SpongeBob to me as childlike and naïve . He 's not quite an adult , he 's not quite a kid . Think a Stan Laurel , Jerry Lewis kind of child - man . Kind of like a Munchkin but not quite , kind of like a kid , but not in a Charlie Brown child 's voice on the TV shows '' . -- Tom Kenny SpongeBob SquarePants features the voices of Tom Kenny , Bill Fagerbakke , Rodger Bumpass , Clancy Brown , Mr. Lawrence , Jill Talley , Carolyn Lawrence , Mary Jo Catlett , and Lori Alan . Most one - off and background characters are voiced by Dee Bradley Baker , Sirena Irwin , Bob Joles , Mark Fite and Thomas F. Wilson . Kenny voices SpongeBob SquarePants and a variety of other characters , including SpongeBob 's pet snail Gary and the French narrator . He also physically portrays Patchy the Pirate in live - action segments of most special episodes . Kenny previously worked with Stephen Hillenburg on Rocko 's Modern Life and , when Hillenburg created SpongeBob SquarePants , he approached Kenny to voice the main character . Kenny originally used the voice of SpongeBob for a minor character on Rocko . He forgot how to perform the voice initially and did not intend to use it afterward . Hillenburg , however , used a video clip of the episode to remind Kenny of the voice . When Hillenburg heard Kenny perform the voice , he immediately knew he wanted it for his character . He said to Nickelodeon executives , `` That 's it -- I do n't want to hear anybody else do the voice . We 've got SpongeBob . '' The network insisted on auditioning more actors , but Hillenburg turned them down ; in the words of Tom Kenny , `` one of the advantages of having a strong creator is that the creator can say , ' No , I like that -- I do n't care about celebrities . ' '' While Kenny was developing SpongeBob 's voice , the show 's casting crew wanted him to have a unique , high - pitched laugh in the tradition of Popeye and Woody Woodpecker . Fagerbakke voices Patrick Star and other miscellaneous characters . At the same time when Hillenburg , Derek Drymon , and Tim Hill were writing the pilot `` Help Wanted '' , Hillenburg was also conducting auditions to find voices for the characters . Fagerbakke auditioned for the role of Patrick after Kenny had been cast . Fagerbakke recalled that during his audition for the role of Patrick , `` Hillenburg actually played for me a portion of Tom ( Kenny ) 's performance ( as SpongeBob ) , and they were looking for a counterpoint . '' In an interview , Fagerbakke compared himself to the character and said , `` It 's extremely gratifying '' . Fagerbakke modeled his performance whenever Patrick is angry after that of American actress Shelley Winters . Squidward Tentacles is voiced by Rodger Bumpass , who describes Squidward as `` a very nasally , monotone kind of guy . '' He said that the character `` became a very interesting character to do '' because of `` his sarcasm , and then his frustration , and then his apoplexy , and so he became a wide spectrum of emotions '' . Arthur Brown , author of Everything I Need to Know , I Learned from Cartoons ! , has compared Squidward 's voice to that of Jack Benny 's , a similarity Bumpass says is mostly unintentional . Voice acting veteran Clancy Brown voices Mr. Krabs , SpongeBob 's boss at the Krusty Krab . Hillenburg modeled Mr. Krabs after his former manager at a seafood restaurant , whose strong Maine accent reminded Hillenburg of a pirate . For the character , Brown decided to use a `` piratey '' voice with `` a little Scottish brogue '' after hearing Hillenburg 's description of his boss . According to Brown , his Mr. Krabs voice was mostly improvised during his audition and it was not challenging for him to find the correct voice . Mr. Lawrence had met Hillenburg previously on Rocko 's Modern Life . When working on the pilot episode of SpongeBob , Hillenburg invited him to audition for all of the characters . Since other voices had been found for the main cast already , Lawrence started out by voicing a variety of minor characters . This included Plankton , who was initially only set to appear in one episode . Mr. Lawrence recalls that Nickelodeon executives told Hillenburg , `` ' we could stunt - cast this . You know , we could have Bruce Willis do this voice . ' And Steve was just like , ' it 's Doug ( Lawrence ) , do n't you hear it ? This is the character ! This is the guy ! ' '' Jill Talley , Tom Kenny 's wife , voices Karen Plankton . Being a Chicago native , she uses a Midwestern accent for the character . Electronic sound effects are underlaid by the series ' audio engineers to create a robotic sound whenever she speaks . Talley and Mr. Lawrence often improvise Plankton and Karen 's dialogue . Lawrence called improvisation his `` favorite part of the voice over '' in 2009 . He elaborated in a 2012 interview , saying , `` I always enjoy the back - and - forth . ( Talley and I ) start to actually overlap so much talking to each other that ( the voice directors ) have to tell us , ' hey , stop doing that , separate what you 're saying ! ' '' Carolyn Lawrence voices Sandy Cheeks . When Lawrence was on a sidewalk in Los Feliz , Los Angeles with a friend who knew SpongeBob SquarePants casting director Donna Grillo , her friend said to Grillo that Lawrence had `` an interesting voice '' . Grillo invited Lawrence to audition and she got the role . Mrs. Puff 's voice is provided by American actress Mary Jo Catlett , who is known for her live - action roles on television programs from the 1970s such as Diff'rent Strokes and M * A * S * H. As of 2017 , voicing Mrs. Puff has become her only remaining regular television role ; Catlett described herself as `` basically retired '' in 2013 , since she feels that voicing Mrs. Puff requires less preparation than her performances in person . Lori Alan voices Pearl Krabs . During her audition for the role , Alan was shown an early drawing of the characters and took note of how Pearl was much larger than the rest of the cast . She decided to reflect the character 's size in her voice by making it deep and full in tone . She aimed to make Pearl 's voice invoke the sound of whales ' low vocalizations while also sounding `` spoiled and lovable . '' In an interview with AfterBuzz TV , Alan said that she knew Pearl `` had to sound somewhat like a child , '' but needed `` an abnormally large voice . '' In addition to the regular cast , episodes feature guest voices from many ranges of professions , including actors , athletes , authors , musicians , and artists . Recurring guest voices include : Ernest Borgnine , who voiced Mermaid Man from 1999 until his death in 2012 ; Tim Conway as the voice of Barnacle Boy ; Brian Doyle - Murray as the Flying Dutchman ; and Marion Ross as Grandma SquarePants . Notable guests who have provided vocal cameo appearances includes David Bowie as Lord Royal Highness in the television film Atlantis SquarePantis , John Goodman as the voice of Santa in the episode `` It 's a SpongeBob Christmas ! '' , Johnny Depp as the voice of the surf guru , Jack Kahuna Laguna , in the episode `` SpongeBob SquarePants vs. The Big One '' , and Victoria Beckham as the voice of Queen Amphitrite in the episode `` The Clash of Triton '' . Voice recording sessions always include a full cast of actors , which Kenny describes as `` getting more unusual '' . Kenny said , `` That 's another thing that 's given SpongeBob its special feel . Everybody 's in the same room , doing it old radio - show style . It 's how the stuff we like was recorded '' . Series writer Jay Lender said , `` The recording sessions were always fun ... '' For the first three seasons , Hillenburg and Drymon sat in on the record studio , and they directed the actors . Andrea Romano became the voice director in the fourth season , and Tom Kenny took over the role during the ninth . Wednesday is recording day , the same schedule followed by the crew since 1999 . Casting supervisor Jennie Monica Hammond said , `` I loved Wednesdays '' . Animation Approximately 50 people work together in animating and producing an episode of SpongeBob SquarePants . Throughout its run , production of the series has been handled domestically at Nickelodeon Animation Studio in Burbank , California , while the finished animation has been created overseas at Rough Draft Studios in South Korea . Storyboarding for each episode is done by the crew in California . The storyboards are then used as templates by the crew in Korea , who animate by hand , color cels on computers , and paint backgrounds . Episodes are finished in California , where they are edited and have music added . Every season , character designs are updated or modified to solve technical issues in the animation . During the first season , the series used cel animation . A shift was made the following year to digital ink and paint animation . In 2009 , executive producer Paul Tibbitt said `` The first season of SpongeBob was done the old - fashioned way on cells , and every cell had to be part - painted , left to dry , paint some other colors . It 's still a time - consuming aspect of the process now , but the digital way of doing things means it does n't take long to correct '' . In 2008 , the crew shifted to using Wacom Cintiqs for the drawings instead of pencils . The fifth season episode `` Pest of the West '' was the first episode in the series to which the crew applied this method . Series background designer Kenny Pittenger said , `` The only real difference between the way we draw now and the way we drew then is that we abandoned pencil and paper during the fifth season '' . The crew began the shift while they were working on the episode . Pittenger said , `` It was while we were working on ' Pest of the West ' , one of the half - hour specials , that we made the switch ... did you notice ? '' The shift to Wacom Cintiqs let the designers and animators draw on computer screens and make immediate changes or undo mistakes . Pittenger said , `` Many neo-Luddites -- er ... I mean , many of my cohorts -- do n't like working on them , but I find them useful . There 's no substitute for the immediacy of drawing on a piece of paper , of course , but digital nautical nonsense is still pretty fun '' . Screen Novelties created character models based on the works of Rankin / Bass for the show 's stop - motion episodes . Since 2004 , the SpongeBob crew has periodically collaborated with the LA - based animation studio Screen Novelties to create stop - motion sequences for special episodes . The studio produced a brief claymation scene for the climax of the first theatrical film and was re-enlisted in 2009 to create an exclusive opening for the series ' tenth anniversary special . The abominable snow mollusk , an octopus - like creature made of clay who acts as the antagonist of the double - length episode `` Frozen Face - Off , '' was also animated by the company . Animation World Network reported that `` within the SpongeBob creative team , there was always talk of doing a more involved project together '' with Screen Novelties . As a result , the group was asked to create an episode animated entirely in stop motion in 2011 . This project became `` It 's a SpongeBob Christmas ! '' , which reimagined the show 's characters as if they were part of a Rankin / Bass holiday film . Tom Kenny , who is not normally involved in the writing process , contributed to the episode 's plot ; he said in 2012 that he and Nickelodeon `` wanted to do something just like those old school , stop - motion Rankin - Bass holiday specials ... which I watched over and over again when I was a kid growing up in Syracuse . '' Unconventional materials such as baking soda , glitter , wood chips and breakfast cereal were used in mass quantities to create the special 's sets . Members of the Screen Novelties crew received one win and two nominations at the 30th Annie Awards , a nomination at the 2013 Golden Reel Awards , and a nomination at the 2013 Annecy International Animated Film Festival for animating the episode . The team built a dolphin puppet named Bubbles , voiced by Matt Berry , for The SpongeBob Movie : Sponge Out of Water . Sequences involving Bubbles included a blend of stop motion and traditional animation . A second special animated in stop motion , themed around Halloween and using the same Rankin / Bass - inspired character models , was produced for season 11 . Music `` ( The music has gone ) from mostly sea shanties and Hawaiian music à la Roy Smeck meets Pee - wee Herman -- still the main style for the show -- in the early episodes , but it now includes film noir , West Side Story to ( Henry ) Mancini , Jerry Goldsmith and ( Steven ) Spielberg . There 's Broadway - type scores and plain old goofy , loopy , weird stuff . I try to push the envelope on this show without getting in the way of the story , and I try to push it up and way over the top when I can get away with it , all the time keeping it as funny and ridiculous as possible . '' -- Music editor Nicolas Carr The theme song was composed by Mark Harrison and Blaise Smith , while the lyrics to the song were written by series creator Stephen Hillenburg and the series ' original creative director Derek Drymon . The melody was inspired by the sea shanty `` Blow the Man Down '' . An old oil painting of a pirate is used in the opening sequence . It has been dubbed `` Painty the Pirate '' , and according to Tom Kenny , Hillenburg found it in a thrift shop `` years ago '' . Patrick Pinney gives voice to Painty the Pirate , singing the theme song as the character . Hillenburg 's lips were imposed onto the painting and move along with the lyrics . Kenny joked that this is `` about as close of a glimpse as most SpongeBob fans are ever going to get of Steve Hillenburg '' , because of Hillenburg 's private nature . A cover of the song by Avril Lavigne can be found on the SpongeBob SquarePants Movie soundtrack . Another cover by the Violent Femmes aired on Nickelodeon as a promotion for the series moving to prime time . Steve Belfer , one of Hillenburg 's friends from CalArts , wrote and performed the music that is played over the end credits . This theme includes ukulele music , per Hillenburg 's request . Drymon said , `` It 's so long ago , it 's hard to be sure , but I remember Hillenburg having the Belfer music early on , maybe before the pilot '' . The series ' music editor and main composer is Nicolas Carr . After working with Hillenburg on Rocko 's Modern Life , Carr struggled to find a new job in his field . He had been considering a career change when Hillenburg offered him the job . The first season 's score primarily featured selections from the Associated Production Music Library , which Carr has said includes `` lots of great old corny Hawaiian music and big , full , dramatic orchestral scores . '' Rocko 's Modern Life also used music from this library . It was Hillenburg 's decision to adopt the approach . The selections for SpongeBob SquarePants have been described by Carr as being `` more over-the - top '' than those for Rocko 's Modern Life . Hillenburg also felt that it was important for the series to develop its own music library , consisting of scores that could be reused and re-edited throughout the years . He wanted these scores to be composed by unknowns , and a group of twelve was assembled . They formed `` The Sponge Divers Orchestra '' , which includes Carr and Belfer . This group went on to provide the majority of the music for later seasons , although Carr still draws from the Associated Production Music Library , as well as another library that he founded himself -- Animation Music Inc .

I never imagined working on the show to this date and this long ... I really figured we might get a season and a cult following , and that might be it . '' Stephen Hillenburg Nickelodeon began celebrating the 10th anniversary of the series on January 18 , 2009 with a live cast reading of the episode `` SpongeBob vs. The Big One '' . The reading -- a first for the series -- was held at that year 's Sundance Film Festival . The episode , which would not premiere on TV until April 17 , featured Johnny Depp as a guest star . Other celebratory actions taken by the network included the launching of a new website for the series ( spongebob.com ) and the introduction of new merchandising . A `` SpongeBob and water conservation - themed element '' was also added to Nickelodeon 's pro-social campaign The Big Green Help . In an interview , Tom Kenny said , `` What I 'm most proud of is that kids still really like ( SpongeBob SquarePants ) and care about it ... They eagerly await new episodes . People who were young children when it started 10 years ago are still watching it and digging it and think it 's funny . That 's the loving cup for me '' . Three nights before the official anniversary date , an hour - long documentary of the series , Square Roots : The Story of SpongeBob SquarePants , premiered on VH1 . Critically acclaimed duo Patrick Creadon and Christine O'Malley created the film as a followup to I.O.U.S.A. -- a documentary on America 's financial situation . Creadon remarked , `` After spending two years examining the financial health of the United States , Christine and I were ready to tackle something a little more upbeat . Telling the SpongeBob story feels like the perfect fit . '' On Friday , July 17 , Nickelodeon marked the official anniversary of the series , with a 50 - hour television marathon titled `` The Ultimate SpongeBob SpongeBash Weekend '' . The marathon began with a new episode , `` To SquarePants or Not to SquarePants '' . Saturday saw a countdown of the top ten episodes as picked by fans , as well as an airing of The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie . The marathon finished on Sunday , which saw a countdown of episodes as picked by celebrities , as well as the premiere of ten new episodes . Nickelodeon continued celebrating the anniversary through the rest of the year . An eight - episode DVD set featuring `` To SquarePants or Not to SquarePants '' shortly followed the marathon , with a July 21 release . Next a 2,200 minute , 14 - disc DVD set titled The First 100 Episodes was released on September 22 . Finally , on November 6 , an hour - long television film , titled Truth or Square , debuted on Nickelodeon . The film is narrated by Ricky Gervais and features live action cameo appearances by Rosario Dawson , Craig Ferguson , Will Ferrell , Tina Fey , LeBron James , P ! nk , Triumph the Insult Comic Dog , and Robin Williams . It was released as part of a five - episode DVD set on November 10 . Reception Ratings and run - length achievements Within its first month on air , SpongeBob SquarePants overtook Pokémon as the highest rated Saturday - morning children 's series on television . It held an average national Nielsen rating of 4.9 among children aged two through eleven , denoting 1.9 million viewers . Two years later , the series had firmly established itself as Nickelodeon 's second highest rated children 's program , after Rugrats . That year , 2001 , SpongeBob SquarePants was credited with helping Nickelodeon take the `` Saturday - morning ratings crown '' for the fourth straight season . The series had gained a significant adult audience by that point -- nearly 40 percent of its 2.2 million viewers were aged 18 to 34 . In response to this weekend - found success , Nickelodeon gave SpongeBob SquarePants time slots at 6 PM and 8 PM , Monday through Thursday , to increase exposure of the series . By the end of that year SpongeBob SquarePants boasted the highest ratings for any children 's series , on all of television . Weekly viewership of the series had reached around fifteen million , at least five million of whom were adults . In October 2002 , another Nickelodeon series , The Fairly OddParents , ranked as the No. 2 program for children between 2 and 11 years old . Its ratings at that time were almost equal to SpongeBob SquarePants ' then - average of 2.2 million viewers per episode . The Fairly OddParents even briefly surpassed SpongeBob SquarePants , causing the latter series to drop into second place -- at this time , The Fairly OddParents had a 6.2 rating and nearly 2.5 million child viewers , while SpongeBob SquarePants had a 6.0 rating and 2.4 million kids 2 -- 11 . Nickelodeon `` recognized '' The Fairly OddParents for its climbing ratings and installed it into a new 8 P.M. time slot , previously occupied by SpongeBob SquarePants . In an interview , Cyma Zarghami , then - general manager and executive vice president of Nickelodeon , said , `` Are we banking on the fact that Fairly OddParents will be the next SpongeBob ? ... We are hoping . But SpongeBob is so unique , it 's hard to say if it will ever be repeated '' . In 2012 , however , it was reported that the series ' ratings were declining . The average number of viewers aged 2 to 11 watching SpongeBob at any given time dropped 29 % in the first quarter from a year earlier , according to Nielsen . Wall Street Journal business writer John Jannarone suggested that the age of the series and oversaturation of the series might be contributing to the decline of the series ' ratings , and might also be directly responsible for the decline in Nickelodeon 's overall ratings . Media analyst Todd Juenger directly attributes the decline in Nickelodeon 's ratings to the availability of streaming video content on services like Netflix , a provider of on - demand Internet streaming media . Philippe Dauman , the president and CEO of Viacom , contradicted the notion , saying he did not think `` the limited amount of Nick library content on Netflix ... has had a significant impact '' . A Nickelodeon spokesman said SpongeBob is performing consistently well and remains the number one rated animated series in all of children 's television . He added , `` There is nothing that we have seen that points to SpongeBob as a problem '' . Dauman blamed the drop on `` some ratings systemic issues '' at Nielsen , citing extensive set - top - box data that `` does in no way reflect '' the Nielsen data . Juenger noted that SpongeBob could affect the ratings of other Nickelodeon programming because children often change channels to find their favorite programs , then stay tuned into that network . Nickelodeon recently reduced its exposure in television . In the first quarter of 2012 , the network cut back on the number of episodes it aired by 16 % compared with a year earlier . On April 22 , 2013 , Netflix CEO Reed Hastings announced their intentions not to renew their existing deal with Viacom . Since then , Viacom 's deal with Netflix expired , and shows such as SpongeBob and Dora the Explorer were removed . On June 4 , 2013 , Viacom announced a multi-year licensing agreement which would move its programs , such as SpongeBob and Dora the Explorer , to Amazon.com , Netflix 's top competitor . Amazon agreed to pay more than $200 million to Viacom for the license , its largest subscription streaming transaction ever . SpongeBob SquarePants is one of the longest - running series on Nickelodeon . It became the Nickelodeon series with the most episodes , during its eighth season , surpassing the 172 episodes of Rugrats with 178 . In its ninth season , a total of 26 episodes pushed the series over the 200th episode mark , reaching 204 produced episodes . In a statement , Brown Johnson , animation president for Nickelodeon , said , `` SpongeBob 's success in reaching over 200 episodes is a testament to creator Stephen Hillenburg 's vision , comedic sensibility and his dynamic , lovable characters . The series now joins the club of contemporary classic Nicktoons that have hit this benchmark , so we 're incredibly proud '' . Critical reception SpongeBob SquarePants has received overwhelmingly positive reviews from critics , and it has been noted for its appeal towards different age groups . James Poniewozik of Time magazine described the title character as `` the anti-Bart Simpson , temperamentally and physically : his head is as squared - off and neat as Bart 's is unruly , and he has a personality to match -- conscientious , optimistic and blind to the faults in the world and those around him '' . According to Laura Fries of Variety magazine , the series is `` a thoughtful and inventive cartoon about a hopelessly optimistic and resilient sea sponge ... Devoid of the double entendres rife in today 's animated TV shows , this is purely kid 's stuff ... However , that 's not to say that SpongeBob is simplistic or even juvenile . It 's charming and whimsical , but clever enough to appeal to teens and college - aged kids , as well '' . The New York Times critic Joyce Millman said SpongeBob `` is clever without being impenetrable to young viewers and goofy without boring grown - ups to tears . It 's the most charming toon on television , and one of the weirdest . And it 's also good , clean fun , which makes sense because it is , after all , about a sponge '' . Millman wrote , `` His relentless good cheer would be irritating if he were n't so darned lovable and his world so excellently strange ... Like Pee - wee 's Playhouse , SpongeBob joyfully dances on the fine line between childhood and adulthood , guilelessness and camp , the warped and the sweet '' . Robert Thompson , a professor of communications and director of the Center for the Study of Popular Television at Syracuse University , told The New York Times , `` There is something kind of unique about ( SpongeBob ) . It seems to be a refreshing breath from the pre-irony era . There 's no sense of the elbow - in - rib , tongue - in - cheek aesthetic that so permeates the rest of American culture -- including kids ' shows like the Rugrats . I think what 's subversive about it is it 's so incredibly naive -- deliberately . Because there 's nothing in it that 's trying to be hip or cool or anything else , hipness can be grafted onto it '' . In another interview with LA Times , he commentated on the show 's adult audience : `` ( On one hand ) It 's a kind of time machine that transports parents back to when they watched TV in their footie ( pajamas ) . On the other hand , it 's very hip in the way it 's presented . It is very edgy to adults who know how to read and listen between the frames . '' In a 2007 interview , Barack Obama named SpongeBob his favorite TV character and admitted that SpongeBob SquarePants is `` the show I watch with my daughters '' . British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has also said he watches the series with his children . Awards and accolades Main article : List of awards and nominations received by SpongeBob SquarePants SpongeBob SquarePants has received many awards and nominations ; among these are four Emmy Awards ( `` Outstanding Special Class Animated Program '' in 2010 , `` Outstanding Sound Editing -- Animation '' in 2014 , `` Outstanding Children 's Animated Series '' in 2018 , and `` Outstanding Performer in an Animated Program '' in 2018 for Kenny ) ; six Annie Awards ; and two BAFTA Children 's Awards . Television critics Alan Sepinwall and Matt Zoller Seitz included the series in their 2016 book TV as the 22nd greatest American television series of all time , stating that `` SpongeBob SquarePants is an absurdist masterpiece that Salvador Dalí and Groucho Marx would have watched together in their smoking jackets '' . In 2006 , IGN ranked SpongeBob SquarePants 15th on its list , `` Top 25 Animated Series of All Time '' , and in 2013 , it ranked the series 12th on its list , `` The Top 25 Animated Series for Adults '' . Additionally , the website 's UK division ran a `` Top 100 Animated Series '' list , and like its US counterpart , ranked SpongeBob SquarePants 15th . The series is among the `` All - TIME 100 TV Shows '' as chosen by Time television critic James Poniewozik in 2007 . He said , `` It 's the most funny , surreal , inventive example of the explosion in creative kids ' ( and adult ) entertainment that Nick , Cartoon Network and their ilk made possible '' . Viewers of the UK television network Channel 4 voted SpongeBob SquarePants the 28th `` Greatest Cartoon '' in a 2004 poll . TV Guide listed the character of SpongeBob SquarePants at No. 9 for its `` 50 Greatest Cartoon Characters of All Time '' . In 2013 , the publication ranked SpongeBob SquarePants the eighth `` Greatest TV Cartoon of All Time '' . In June 2010 , Entertainment Weekly named SpongeBob one of the `` 100 Greatest Characters of the Last 20 Years '' . Legacy After the Egyptian Revolution of 2011 , SpongeBob became a fashion trend at the Tahrir Square ( pictured ) and led to the creation of a Tumblr project called `` SpongeBob on the Nile '' . In July 2009 , Madame Tussauds wax museum in New York launched a wax sculpture of SpongeBob in celebration of the series ' 10th anniversary . This made SpongeBob the first animated character to ever receive a statue made entirely out of wax . In May 2011 , a new species of mushroom , Spongiforma squarepantsii , was described , named after the series ' title character . The character has also become a trend in Egypt at Cairo 's Tahrir Square . After the Egyptian Revolution of 2011 , SpongeBob became a fashion phenomenon , appearing on various items of merchandise from hijabs to boxer shorts . The phenomenon led to the creation of the Tumblr project called `` SpongeBob on the Nile '' . The project was founded by American students Andrew Leber and Elisabeth Jaquette and attempts to document every appearance of SpongeBob in Egypt . Sherief Elkeshta cited the phenomenon in an essay about the incoherent state of politics in Egypt in an independent monthly paper titled Midan Masr . He wrote , `` Why is n't he ( SpongeBob ) at least holding a Molotov cocktail ? Or raising a fist ? '' The phenomenon has even spread to Libya , where a Libyan rebel in SpongeBob dress was photographed celebrating the revolution . Although The Guardian and Vice have asserted that the trend has little to no political significance , `` joke '' presidential campaigns have been undertaken for SpongeBob in Egypt and Syria . A clip was posted to YouTube in February 2013 that features soldiers in the Russian army and navy singing the SpongeBob SquarePants theme song as they march . According to the website that uploaded the video , this is one of the `` most popular marching songs '' in the Russian military . The video garnered nearly 50,000 views within its first week . Criticism Controversies James Dobson , who accused a promotional video featuring SpongeBob SquarePants of promoting homosexuality due to a pro-tolerance group 's sponsoring the video In 2005 , an online video that showed clips from SpongeBob SquarePants and other children 's shows set to the Sister Sledge song `` We Are Family '' to promote diversity and tolerance was attacked by an evangelical group in the United States , because they saw SpongeBob being used to `` advocate homosexuality '' . James Dobson of Focus on the Family accused the video of promoting homosexuality , due to it being sponsored by a pro-tolerance group . The incident accentuated questions as to whether or not SpongeBob is gay . Although the character has enjoyed popularity with gay viewers , series creator Stephen Hillenburg had already denied the issue three years earlier , clarifying at the time that he considers the character to be `` somewhat asexual '' . After Dobson 's comments , Hillenburg reasserted his position , stating that sexual preference does not play a part in what they are `` trying to do '' with the series . Tom Kenny and other production members were distraught that such an issue had arisen . Dobson later stated that his comments were taken out of context and that his original complaints were not with SpongeBob , the video , or any of the characters in the video , but rather with the organization that sponsored the video , the We Are Family Foundation . Dobson said that the We Are Family Foundation posted pro-gay material on their website , but later removed it . After the controversy , John H. Thomas , the United Church of Christ 's general minister and president , said they would welcome SpongeBob into their ministry . He said `` Jesus did n't turn people away . Neither do we '' . Jeffery P. Dennis , author of the journal article `` Queertoons '' , argued that SpongeBob and Sandy are not romantically in love , while adding that he believed that SpongeBob and Patrick `` are paired with arguably erotic intensity '' . Martin Goodman of Animation World Magazine described Dennis ' comments regarding SpongeBob and Patrick as `` interesting '' . Ukrainian website Family Under the Protection of the Holy Virgin , which has been described as a `` fringe Catholic '' group by The Wall Street Journal , levied criticism against SpongeBob SquarePants for its alleged `` promotion of homosexuality '' . The group sought to have the series banned , along with several other popular children 's properties . The National Expert Commission of Ukraine on the Protection of Public Morality took up the matter for review in August 2012 . In April 2009 , Burger King released a SpongeBob - themed advertisement featuring a parody of Sir Mix - a-Lot 's song `` Baby Got Back '' . The Campaign for a Commercial - Free Childhood protested the ad for being sexist and inappropriately sexual , especially considering that SpongeBob 's fan base includes young children . In official statements released by Burger King and Nickelodeon , both companies claimed that the campaign was aimed at parents . `` The children who watched the cartoon were operating at half the capacity compared to other children . '' -- Angeline S. Lillard , University of Virginia A 2011 study conducted at the University of Virginia and published in the journal Pediatrics suggested that allowing preschool - aged audiences to watch the series caused short - term disruptions in mental function and attention span due to frequent shot changes . A Nickelodeon executive responded in an interview that the series was not intended for an audience of that age and that the study used `` questionable methodology and could not possibly provide the basis for any valid findings that parents could trust '' . Several episodes of the series have been subject to controversy as well . In a report titled Wolves in Sheep 's Clothing , which documents the increase in potentially violent , profane , and sexual content in children 's programming , the Parents Television Council , a watchdog media group , claimed the season 2 SpongeBob SquarePants episode `` Sailor Mouth '' was an implicit attempt to promote and satirize use of profanity among children , while `` SpongeBob 's Last Stand '' and `` Selling Out '' have received criticism for promoting environmentalism and left - wing politics due to their negative portrayal of big business . `` SpongeBob , You 're Fired '' , a 2013 season 9 episode , gained heavy controversy and sparked a political debate over its portrayal of unemployment ; after Fox News and the New York Post commented on the episode , Media Matters for America accused the two organizations of using the episode to `` attack the social safety net '' . This statement was echoed by Al Sharpton , who claimed conservatives ' `` new hero '' to be `` a sponge who lives in a pineapple under the sea '' . Declining quality This section needs to be updated . Please update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information . ( May 2018 ) Various publications , such as MSN , Vulture , The A.V. Club , have reported that SpongeBob 's popularity declined following the release of the 2004 film and Hillenburg 's departure as showrunner . In 2012 , MSN cited a post on spongebob.wikia.com , which said that many fans felt the series had `` jumped the shark '' following the release of The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie and that online fansites were becoming `` deserted '' . In 2018 , Vulture noted that the most popular online memes of the series usually focused on episodes from the first three seasons . That same year , The A.V. Club wrote that as the series went on , `` ( it ) leaned hard into kid - friendly physical humor and gross - out moments that appealed to no one in particular '' . Episodes produced since the first film have been variously categorized by DVD Talk and DVD Verdict as `` tedious '' , `` boring '' and `` dreck '' , a `` depressing plateau of mediocrity '' , and `` laugh - skimpy '' .

The release marked the first time Hillenburg authored his own books . He said , `` I 'm hoping that fans will enjoy finally having a SpongeBob comic book from me '' . The comic book series is published by Hillenburg 's production company , United Plankton Pictures , and distributed by Bongo Comics Group . Although the characters of the series had previously appeared in Nickelodeon Magazine and in Cine - Manga , the first issue of SpongeBob Comics marked the first time the characters have appeared in their own comic books in the United States . Hillenburg described the stories from the comic books as `` original and always true to the humor , characters , and universe of the SpongeBob SquarePants series '' . Chris Duffy , the former senior editor of Nickelodeon Magazine , serves as managing editor of SpongeBob Comics . Hillenburg and Duffy met with various cartoonists -- including James Kochalka , Hilary Barta , Graham Annable , Gregg Schigiel , and Jacob Chabot -- to contribute to each issues . Retired horror comics writer and artist Stephen R. Bissette returned to write a special Halloween issue in 2012 , with Tony Millionaire and Al Jaffee . In an interview with Tom Spurgeon , Bissette said , `` I 've even broken my retirement to do one work - for - hire gig ( for SpongeBob Comics ) so I could share everything about that kind of current job '' . In the United Kingdom , Titan Magazines published comics based on SpongeBob SquarePants every four weeks from February 3 , 2005 through November 28 , 2013 . Titan Magazines also teamed up with Lego to release a limited edition SpongeBob - themed comic . Films Main article : SpongeBob SquarePants ( film series ) Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies produced The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie , an animated film adaptation of the series that was released on November 19 , 2004 .

Eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79

Volcanic eruption in the Roman Empire AD 79 eruption of Mount Vesuvius The Destruction of Pompeii and Herculaneum ( c. 1821 ) by John Martin Volcano Mount Vesuvius Date August 24 -- 25 ( probable ) , AD 79 Type Vesuvian Location Campania , Italy 40 ° 49 ′ N 14 ° 26 ′ E  /  40.817 ° N 14.433 ° E  / 40.817 ; 14.433 Coordinates : 40 ° 49 ′ N 14 ° 26 ′ E  /  40.817 ° N 14.433 ° E  / 40.817 ; 14.433 VEI 5 Impact Buried the Roman settlements of Pompeii , Herculaneum , Oplontis and Stabiae . Mount Vesuvius , a stratovolcano in modern - day Italy , erupted in 79 AD in one of the most catastrophic volcanic eruptions in European history . Historians have learned about the eruption from the eyewitness account of Pliny the Younger , a Roman administrator and poet . The event is the namesake for the Vesuvian type of volcanic eruptions . Mount Vesuvius violently spewed forth a deadly cloud of super-heated tephra and gases to a height of 33 km ( 21 mi ) , ejecting molten rock , pulverized pumice and hot ash at a massive rate of 1.5 million tons per second , ultimately releasing 100,000 times the thermal energy of the Hiroshima - Nagasaki bombings . Several Roman settlements were obliterated and buried underneath massive pyroclastic surges and ashfall deposits , the best known being Pompeii and Herculaneum . The total inhabitants of both cities were 16,000 -- 20,000 ; the remains of over 1,500 people have been found at Pompeii and Herculaneum , but the overall death toll is still unclear .

Painting by Karl Brullov , 1830 -- 1833 The AD 79 eruption was preceded by a powerful earthquake seventeen years before on February 5 , AD 62 , which caused widespread destruction around the Bay of Naples , and particularly to Pompeii . Some of the damage had still not been repaired when the volcano erupted . The deaths of 600 sheep from `` tainted air '' in the vicinity of Pompeii , reported by Seneca the Younger , leads volcanologist Haraldur Sigurdsson to compare them to similar deaths of sheep in Iceland from pools of volcanic carbon dioxide and to speculate that the earthquake of AD 62 was related to new activity by Mount Vesuvius . Another smaller earthquake took place in AD 64 ; it was recorded by Suetonius in his biography of Nero , and by Tacitus in Annales because it took place while Nero was in Naples performing for the first time in a public theatre . Suetonius recorded that the emperor continued singing through the earthquake until he had finished his song , while Tacitus wrote that the theatre collapsed shortly after being evacuated . The Romans grew accustomed to minor earth tremors in the region ; the writer Pliny the Younger wrote that they `` were not particularly alarming because they are frequent in Campania '' . Small earthquakes started taking place on 20 August 79 , becoming more frequent over the next four days , but the warnings were not recognized . Nature of the eruption ( edit ) Reconstructions of the eruption and its effects vary considerably in the details but have the same overall features . The eruption lasted for two days . The morning of the first day , August 22 , was perceived as normal by the only eyewitness to leave a surviving document , Pliny the Younger , who at that point was staying at Misenum , on the other side of the Bay of Naples about 30 kilometres ( 19 mi ) from the volcano , which may have prevented him from noticing the early signs of the eruption . He was not to have any opportunity , during the next two days , to talk to people who had witnessed the eruption from Pompeii or Herculaneum ( indeed he never mentions Pompeii in his letter ) , so he would not have noticed early , smaller fissures and releases of ash and smoke on the mountain , if such had occurred earlier in the morning . Around 1 : 00 P.M. , Mount Vesuvius violently erupted , spewing up a high - altitude column from which ash and pumice began to fall , blanketing the area . Rescues and escapes occurred during this time . At some time in the night or early the next day , August 23 , pyroclastic flows in the close vicinity of the volcano began . Lights seen on the mountain were interpreted as fires . People as far away as Misenum fled for their lives . The flows were rapid - moving , dense , and very hot , knocking down wholly or partly all structures in their path , incinerating or suffocating all population remaining there and altering the landscape , including the coastline . These were accompanied by additional light tremors and a mild tsunami in the Bay of Naples . By evening of the second day , the eruption was over , leaving only haze in the atmosphere through which the sun shone weakly . Pliny the Younger wrote an account of the eruption : Broad sheets of flame were lighting up many parts of Vesuvius ; their light and brightness were the more vivid for the darkness of the night ... it was daylight now elsewhere in the world , but there the darkness was darker and thicker than any night . Stratigraphic studies ( edit ) This section needs additional citations for verification . Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources .

( August 2018 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Pompeii and Herculaneum , as well as other cities affected by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius . The black cloud represents the general distribution of ash , pumice and cinders . Modern coast lines are shown ; Pliny the Younger was at Misenum . According to a stratigraphic study ( a study of the layers of ash ) by Sigurdsson , Cashdollar , and Sparks , published in 1982 , and now a standard reference , the eruption of Vesuvius of AD 79 unfolded in two phases : a Vesuvian eruption that lasted eighteen to twenty hours and produced a fall of pumice and ashes southward of the volcano that accumulated up to depths of 2.8 m ( 9.2 ft ) at Pompeii , followed by pyroclastic surges or nuées ardentes in the second Peléan phase that reached as far as Misenum but was concentrated to the west and northwest . Two pyroclastic surges engulfed Pompeii , burning and asphyxiating any living beings who had remained behind . Herculaneum and Oplontis received the brunt of the surges and were buried in fine pyroclastic deposits , pulverized pumice and lava fragments . In an article published in 2002 , Sigurdsson and Casey elaborate on the stratigraphic evidence based on excavations and surveys up until then . In this interpretation , the quasi-initial explosion ( not quite initial ) produced a column of ash and pumice ranging between 15 km ( 9.3 mi ) and 30 km ( 19 mi ) high , which , due to northwest winds , rained on Pompeii to the southeast but not on Herculaneum upwind . The eruption is viewed as primarily phreatomagmatic ; that is , the chief energy supporting the blast column came from the escape of steam generated by the magma , created from seawater seeping over time into the deep - seated faults of the region , that came into interaction with magma and heat . Subsequently , the cloud collapsed as the gases densified and lost their capability to support their solid contents , releasing it as a pyroclastic surge , which first reached Herculaneum , not Pompeii . Additional explosions reinstituted the column . The eruption alternated between Vesuvian and Peléan six times . Surges 4 and 5 are believed by the authors to have destroyed and buried Pompeii . Surges are identified in the deposits by dune and cross-bedding formations , which are not produced by fallout . The authors suggest that the first ash falls are to be interpreted as early - morning , low - volume explosions not seen from Misenum , causing Rectina to send her messenger on a ride of several hours around the Bay of Naples , then passable , providing an answer to the paradox of how the messenger might miraculously appear at Pliny 's villa so shortly after a distant eruption that would have prevented him . Magnetic studies ( edit ) Inside the crater of Vesuvius A 2006 study by Zanella , Gurioli , Pareschi , and Lanza used the magnetic characteristics of over 200 samples of lithic , roof - tile , and plaster fragments collected from pyroclastic deposits in and around Pompeii to estimate the equilibrium temperatures of the deposits . The deposits were placed by pyroclastic density currents ( PDCs ) resulting from the collapses of the Plinian column . The authors argue that fragments over 2 -- 5 cm ( 0.8 -- 2 in ) were not in the current long enough to acquire its temperature , which would have been much higher , and therefore they distinguish between the depositional temperatures , which they estimated , and the emplacement temperatures , which in some cases based on the cooling characteristics of some types and fragment sizes of rocks they believed they also could estimate . Final figures are considered to be those of the rocks in the current just before deposition . All crustal rock contains some iron or iron compounds , rendering it ferromagnetic , as do Roman roof tiles and plaster . These materials may acquire a residual field from a number of sources . When individual molecules , which are magnetic dipoles , are held in alignment by being bound in a crystalline structure , the small fields reinforce each other to form the rock 's residual field . Heating the material adds internal energy to it . At the Curie temperature , the vibration of the molecules is sufficient to disrupt the alignment ; the material loses its residual magnetism and assumes whatever magnetic field might be applied to it only for the duration of the application . The authors term this phenomenon unblocking . Residual magnetism is considered to `` block out '' non-residual fields . A rock is a mixture of minerals , each with its own Curie temperature ; the authors therefore looked for a spectrum of temperatures rather than a single temperature . In the ideal sample , the PDC did not raise the temperature of the fragment beyond the highest blocking temperature . Some constituent material retained the magnetism imposed by the Earth 's field when the item was formed . The temperature was raised above the lowest blocking temperature and therefore some minerals on recooling acquired the magnetism of the Earth as it was in AD 79 . The overall field of the sample was the vector sum of the fields of the high - blocking material and the low - blocking material . This type of sample made possible estimation of the low unblocking temperature . Using special equipment that measured field direction and strength at various temperatures , the experimenters raised the temperature of the sample in increments of 40 ° C ( 70 ° F ) from 100 ° C ( 210 ° F ) until it reached the low unblocking temperature . Deprived of one of its components , the overall field changed direction . A plot of direction at each increment identified the increment at which the sample 's resultant magnetism had formed . That was considered to be the equilibrium temperature of the deposit . Considering the data for all the deposits of the surge arrived at a surge deposit estimate . The authors discovered that the city , Pompeii , was a relatively cool spot within a much hotter field , which they attributed to interaction of the surge with the `` fabric '' of the city . The investigators reconstruct the sequence of volcanic events as follows . On the first day of the eruption a fall of white pumice containing clastic fragments of up to 3 centimetres ( 1 in ) fell for several hours . It heated the roof tiles to 120 -- 140 ° C ( 250 -- 280 ° F ) . This period would have been the last opportunity to escape . Subsequently , a second column deposited a grey pumice with clastics up to 10 cm ( 4 in ) , temperature unsampled , but presumed to be higher , for 18 hours . These two falls were the Plinian phase . The collapse of the edges of these clouds generated the first dilute PDCs , which must have been devastating to Herculaneum , but did not enter Pompeii . Early in the morning of the second day the grey cloud began to collapse to a greater degree . Two major surges struck and destroyed Pompeii . Herculaneum and all its population no longer existed . The emplacement temperature range of the first surge was 180 -- 220 ° C ( 360 -- 430 ° F ) , minimum temperatures ; of the second , 220 -- 260 ° C ( 430 -- 500 ° F ) . The depositional temperature of the first was 140 -- 300 ° C ( 280 -- 570 ° F ) . Upstream and downstream of the flow it was 300 -- 360 ° C ( 570 -- 680 ° F ) . The variable temperature of the first surge was due to interaction with the buildings . Any population remaining in structural refuges could not have escaped , as the city was surrounded by gases of incinerating temperatures . The lowest temperatures were in rooms under collapsed roofs . These were as low as 100 ° C ( 210 ° F ) , the boiling point of water . The authors suggest that elements of the bottom of the flow were decoupled from the main flow by topographic irregularities and were made cooler by the introduction of ambient turbulent air . In the second surge the irregularities were gone and the city was as hot as the surrounding environment . During the last surge , which was very dilute , one meter more of deposits fell over the region . Two plinys ( edit ) Pompeii , with Vesuvius towering above The only surviving eyewitness account of the event consists of two letters by Pliny the Younger , who was 17 at the time of the eruption , to the historian , Tacitus . Observing the first volcanic activity from Misenum across the Bay of Naples from the volcano , approximately 35 kilometres ( 22 mi ) away , the elder Pliny launched a rescue fleet and went himself to the rescue of a personal friend . His nephew declined to join the party . One of the nephew 's letters relates what he could discover from witnesses of his uncle 's experiences . In a second letter the younger Pliny details his own observations after the departure of his uncle . Pliny the Younger ( edit ) Further information : Pliny the Younger The two men saw an extraordinarily dense cloud rising rapidly above the mountain : I can not give you a more exact description of its appearance than by comparing to a pine tree ; for it shot up to a great height in the form of a tall trunk , which spread out at the top as though into branches . ( ... ) Occasionally it was brighter , occasionally darker and spotted , as it was either more or less filled with earth and cinders . These events and a request by messenger for an evacuation by sea prompted the elder Pliny to order rescue operations in which he sailed away to participate . His nephew attempted to resume a normal life , continuing to study , and bathing , but that night a tremor awoke him and his mother , prompting them to abandon the house for the courtyard . At another tremor near dawn the population abandoned the village . After still a third `` the sea seemed to roll back upon itself , and to be driven from its banks '' , which is evidence for a tsunami . There is , however , no evidence of extensive damage from wave action . The early light was obscured by a black cloud through which shone flashes , which Pliny likens to sheet lightning , but more extensive . The cloud obscured Point Misenum near at hand and the island of Capraia ( Capri ) across the bay . Fearing for their lives the population began to call to each other and move back from the coast along the road . Pliny 's mother requested him to abandon her and save his own life , as she was too corpulent and aged to go further , but seizing her hand he led her away as best he could . A rain of ash fell . Pliny found it necessary to shake off the ash periodically to avoid being buried . Later that same day the ash stopped falling and the sun shone weakly through the cloud , encouraging Pliny and his mother to return to their home and wait for news of Pliny the Elder . The letter compares the ash to a blanket of snow . Evidently the earthquake and tsunami damage at that location were not severe enough to prevent continued use of the home . Pliny the Elder ( edit ) Further information : Pliny the Elder Pliny 's uncle Pliny the Elder was in command of the Roman fleet at Misenum , and had meanwhile decided to investigate the phenomenon at close hand in a light vessel . As the ship was preparing to leave the area , a messenger came from his friend Rectina ( wife of Tascius ) living on the coast near the foot of the volcano , explaining that her party could only get away by sea and asking for rescue . Pliny ordered the immediate launching of the fleet galleys to the evacuation of the coast . He continued in his light ship to the rescue of Rectina 's party . He set off across the bay but in the shallows on the other side encountered thick showers of hot cinders , lumps of pumice , and pieces of rock . Advised by the helmsman to turn back he stated `` Fortune favors the brave '' and ordered him to continue on to Stabiae ( about 4.5 km or 2.8 mi from Pompeii ) , where Pomponianus was . Pomponianus had already loaded a ship with possessions and was preparing to leave , but the same onshore wind that brought Pliny 's ship to the location had prevented anyone from leaving . Pliny and his party saw flames coming from several parts of the mountain , which Pliny and his friends attributed to burning villages . After staying overnight , the party was driven from the building by an accumulation of material which threatened to block all egress . They woke Pliny , who had been napping and emitting loud snoring . They elected to take to the fields with pillows tied to their heads to protect them from rockfall . They approached the beach again but the wind had not changed . Pliny sat down on a sail that had been spread for him and could not rise even with assistance when his friends departed , escaping ultimately by land . Very likely , he had collapsed and died , which is the most popular explanation of why his friends abandoned him , although Suetonius offers an alternative story of his ordering a slave to kill him to avoid the pain of incineration . How the slave would have escaped to tell the tale remains a mystery . There is no mention of such an event in his nephew 's letters . In the first letter to Tacitus his nephew suggested that his death was due to the reaction of his weak lungs to a cloud of poisonous , sulphurous gas that wafted over the group . However , Stabiae was 16 km ( 9.9 mi ) from the vent ( roughly where the modern town of Castellammare di Stabia is situated ) and his companions were apparently unaffected by the fumes , and so it is more likely that the corpulent Pliny died from some other cause , such as a stroke or heart attack . An asthmatic attack is also not out of the question . His body was found with no apparent injuries on the next day , after dispersal of the plume . Casualties from the eruption ( edit ) The skeleton called the `` Ring Lady '' unearthed in Herculaneum Along with Pliny the Elder , the only other notable casualties of the eruption to be known by name were Agrippa ( a son of the Jewish princess Drusilla and the procurator Antonius Felix ) and his wife . By 2003 around 1,044 casts made from impressions of bodies in the ash deposits had been recovered in and around Pompeii , with the scattered bones of another 100 . The remains of about 332 bodies have been found at Herculaneum ( 300 in arched vaults discovered in 1980 ) . What percentage these numbers are of the total dead or the percentage of the dead to the total number at risk remain completely unknown . Thirty - eight percent of the 1,044 were found in the ash fall deposits , the majority inside buildings . These are thought to have been killed mainly by roof collapses , with the smaller number of victims found outside buildings probably killed by falling roof slates or by larger rocks thrown out by the volcano . This differs from modern experience , since over the last four hundred years only around 4 % of victims have been killed by ash falls during explosive eruptions . The remaining 62 % of remains found at Pompeii were in the pyroclastic surge deposits , and thus were probably killed by them . It was initially believed that due to the state of the bodies found at Pompeii and the outline of clothes on the bodies it was unlikely that high temperatures were a significant cause . But in 2010 , studies indicated that during the fourth pyroclastic surge -- the first surge to reach Pompeii -- temperatures reached 300 ° C ( 572 ° F ) . Volcanologist Giuseppe Mastrolorenzo , who led the study , noted that `` ( It was ) enough to kill hundreds of people in a fraction of a second '' . In reference as to why the bodies were frozen in suspended action , `` The contorted postures are not the effects of a long agony , but of the cadaveric spasm , a consequence of heat shock on corpses . '' Herculaneum , which was much closer to the crater , was saved from tephra falls by the wind direction , but was buried under 23 metres ( 75 ft ) of material deposited by pyroclastic surges . It is likely that most , or all , of the known victims in this town were killed by the surges , particularly given evidence of high temperatures found on the skeletons of the victims found in the arched vaults , and the existence of carbonised wood in many of the buildings . These people were all caught on the former seashore by the first surge and died of thermal shock but not of carbonization , although some were partly carbonized by later and hotter surges . The arched vaults were most likely boathouses , as the crossbeams in the overhead were probably for the suspension of boats . No boats have been found , indicating they may have been used for the earlier escape of some of the population . The rest were concentrated in the chambers at a density of as high as 3 persons per square meter . As only 85 metres ( 279 ft ) of the coast have been excavated , the casualties waiting to be excavated may well be as high as the thousands . Date of the eruption ( edit ) The year of the eruption is pinned to AD 79 by references in contemporary Roman writers , a number of them apart from Pliny the Younger , and has never been seriously questioned . It is determined by the well - known events of the reign of Titus . Vespasian died that year . When Titus visited Pompeii to give orders for the relief of the displaced population , he was the sole ruler . In the year after the eruption , AD 80 , he faced another disaster , a great fire at Rome . The time of year is stated once in one historical document , the first letter of Pliny the Younger to Tacitus , where it appears as `` nonum kal . Septembres '' . This seems to be an abbreviation of a standard date , to be interpreted as `` the ninth day before the Kalends of September '' , which in the Julian calendar , in general use by then , would have been eight days before September 1 , that is August 24 ( the Romans counted September 1 as one of the nine ) . August 24 is not necessarily the date given by Pliny . It represents an editorial collusion to use the manuscript text of Pliny 's letters in the Medicean Laurentian Library , which also appears in the edition printed by Aldus Manutius ( 1508 ) and in all recensions since then , even though the numerous other Pliny manuscripts , as well as the works of other authors , offer many alternative dates .

Lift (force)
Lift ( force ) - wikipedia Lift ( force ) Jump to : navigation , search For other uses , see Lift ( disambiguation ) . Boeing 747 - 8F landing A fluid flowing past the surface of a body exerts a force on it . Lift is the component of this force that is perpendicular to the oncoming flow direction . It contrasts with the drag force , which is the component of the surface force parallel to the flow direction . If the fluid is air , the force is called an aerodynamic force . In water , it is called a hydrodynamic force .

Lift is also exploited in the animal world , and even in the plant world by the seeds of certain trees . While the common meaning of the word `` lift '' assumes that lift opposes weight , lift in the technical sense used in this article can be in any direction with respect to gravity , since it is defined with respect to the direction of flow rather than to the direction of gravity . When an aircraft is flying straight and level ( cruise ) most of the lift opposes gravity . However , when an aircraft is climbing , descending , or banking in a turn the lift is tilted with respect to the vertical . Lift may also be entirely downwards in some aerobatic manoeuvres , or on the wing on a racing car . In this last case , the term downforce is often used . Lift may also be largely horizontal , for instance on a sail on a sailboat . Aerodynamic / hydrodynamic lift is distinguished from other kinds of lift in fluids . It requires relative motion of the fluid which distinguishes it from aerostatic lift or buoyancy lift as used by balloons , blimps , dirigibles , boats and submarines . It also usually refers to situations in which the body is completely immersed in the fluid , and is thus distinguished from planing lift as used by motorboats , surfboards , and water - skis , in which only a lower portion of the body is immersed in the lifting fluid flow . The lift will be explained here relative to airfoils , but hydrofoils and marine propellers basically share the same physics and works the same as airfoils , even - though differences between air and water ( e.g. : density , compressibility , viscosity ) do have effects . Simplified physical explanations of lift on an airfoil ( edit ) A cross-section of a wing defines an airfoil shape An airfoil is a streamlined shape that is capable of generating significantly more lift than drag . A flat plate can generate lift , but not as much as a streamlined airfoil , and with somewhat higher drag . There are several ways to explain how an airfoil generates lift . Some are more complicated or more mathematically rigorous than others ; some have been shown to be incorrect . For example , there are explanations based directly on Newton 's laws of motion and explanations based on Bernoulli 's principle . Either can be used to explain lift . Flow deflection and Newton 's laws ( edit ) Newton 's third law says that for every action there is an equal and opposite re-action . When an airfoil deflects air downwards , the air exerts an upward force on the airfoil . An airfoil generates lift by exerting a downward force on the air as it flows past . According to Newton 's third law , the air must exert an equal and opposite ( upward ) force on the airfoil , which is the lift . The air flow changes direction as it passes the airfoil and follows a path that is curved downward . According to Newton 's second law , this change in flow direction requires a downward force applied to the air by the airfoil . Then , according to Newton 's third law , the air must exert an upward force on the airfoil . The overall result is that a reaction force , the lift , is generated opposite to the directional change . In the case of an airplane wing , the wing exerts a downward force on the air and the air exerts an upward force on the wing . The downward turning of the flow is not produced solely by the lower surface of the airfoil , and the air flow above the airfoil accounts for much of the downward - turning action . Increased flow speed and Bernoulli 's principle ( edit ) Bernoulli 's principle states that within a steady airflow of constant energy , when the air flows through a region of lower pressure it speeds up and vice versa . Thus , there is a direct mathematical relationship between the pressure and the speed , so if one knows the speed at all points within the airflow one can calculate the pressure , and vice versa . For any airfoil generating lift , there must be a pressure imbalance , i.e. lower average air pressure on the top than on the bottom . Bernoulli 's principle states that this pressure difference must be accompanied by a speed difference . Conservation of mass ( edit ) Streamlines and streamtubes around a NACA 0012 airfoil at moderate angle of attack . Note the overall downward deflection of the air , as well as narrower streamtubes above and wider streamtubes below the foil . Starting with the flow pattern observed in both theory and experiments , the increased flow speed over the upper surface can be explained in terms of streamtube pinching and conservation of mass . The streamlines divide the flow around the airfoil into streamtubes as depicted by the spaces between the streamlines in the adjacent diagram . By definition , fluid never crosses a streamline in a steady flow . Assuming that the air is incompressible , the rate of volume flow ( e.g. liters or gallons per minute ) must be constant within each streamtube since matter is not created or destroyed . If a streamtube becomes narrower , the flow speed must increase in the narrower region to maintain the constant flow rate . This is an application of the principle of conservation of mass . The picture shows that the upper stream tubes constrict as they flow up and around the airfoil . Conservation of mass says that the flow speed must increase as the stream tube area decreases . Similarly , the lower stream tubes expand and the flow slows down . From Bernoulli 's principle , the pressure on the upper surface where the flow is moving faster is lower than the pressure on the lower surface where it is moving slower . This pressure difference creates a net aerodynamic force , pointing upward . Limitations of explanations based on Bernoulli 's principle ( edit ) The explanation above does not explain why the streamtubes change size . To see why the air flows the way it does requires more sophisticated analysis . Sometimes a geometrical argument is offered to demonstrate why the streamtubes change size : it is asserted that the top `` obstructs '' or `` constricts '' the air more than the bottom , hence narrower streamtubes . For conventional wings that are flat on the bottom and curved on top this makes some intuitive sense . But it does not explain how flat plates , symmetric airfoils , sailboat sails , or conventional airfoils flying upside down can generate lift , and attempts to calculate lift based on the amount of constriction do not predict experimental results . A common explanation using Bernoulli 's principle asserts that the air must traverse both the top and bottom in the same amount of time and that this explains the increased speed on the ( longer ) top side of the wing . But this assertion is false ; it is typically the case that the air parcels traveling over the upper surface will reach the trailing edge before those traveling over the bottom . Basic attributes of lift ( edit ) Lift is a result of pressure differences and depends on angle of attack , airfoil shape , air density , and airspeed . Pressure differences ( edit ) Pressure is the normal force per unit area exerted by the air on itself and on surfaces that it touches . The lift force is transmitted through the pressure , which acts perpendicular to the surface of the airfoil . The air maintains physical contact at all points . Thus , the net force manifests itself as pressure differences . The direction of the net force implies that the average pressure on the upper surface of the airfoil is lower than the average pressure on the underside . These pressure differences arise in conjunction with the curved air flow . Whenever a fluid follows a curved path , there is a pressure gradient perpendicular to the flow direction with higher pressure on the outside of the curve and lower pressure on the inside . This direct relationship between curved streamlines and pressure differences was derived from Newton 's second law by Leonhard Euler in 1754 : d ⁡ p d ⁡ R = ρ v 2 R ( \ displaystyle ( \ frac ( \ operatorname ( d ) p ) ( \ operatorname ( d ) R ) ) = \ rho ( \ frac ( v ^ ( 2 ) ) ( R ) ) ) The left hand side of this equation represents the pressure difference perpendicular to the fluid flow . On the right hand side ρ is the density , v is the velocity , and R is the radius of curvature . This formula shows that higher velocities and tighter curvatures create larger pressure differentials and that for straight flow ( R → ∞ ) the pressure difference is zero . Angle of attack ( edit ) Angle of attack of an airfoil The angle of attack is the angle between the chord line of an airfoil and the oncoming air . A symmetrical airfoil will generate zero lift at zero angle of attack . But as the angle of attack increases , the air is deflected through a larger angle and the vertical component of the airstream velocity increases , resulting in more lift . For small angles a symmetrical airfoil will generate a lift force roughly proportional to the angle of attack . As the angle of attack grows larger , the lift reaches a maximum at some angle ; increasing the angle of attack beyond this critical angle of attack causes the upper - surface flow to separate from the wing ; there is less deflection downward so the airfoil generates less lift . The airfoil is said to be stalled . Airfoil shape ( edit ) An airfoil with camber compared to a symmetrical airfoil The lift force depends on the shape of the airfoil , especially the amount of camber ( curvature such that the upper surface is more convex than the lower surface , as illustrated at right ) . Increasing the camber generally increases lift . Cambered airfoils will generate lift at zero angle of attack . When the chord line is horizontal , the trailing edge has a downward direction and since the air follows the trailing edge it is deflected downward . When a cambered airfoil is upside down , the angle of attack can be adjusted so that the lift force is upwards . This explains how a plane can fly upside down . The wings of birds and most subsonic aircraft have spans much larger than their chords . For wings of this general shape ( often referred to as having a high aspect ratio ) , the most important features of the lifting flow can be explained in terms of the two - dimensional flow around an airfoil , which is just the shape of a cross-section of the wing , as illustrated in the drawing at right . Most of the discussion in this article concentrates on two - dimensional airfoil flow . However , the flow around a three - dimensional wing involves significant additional issues , and these are discussed below under Lift of three dimensional wings . For a wing of low aspect ratio , such as a delta wing , two - dimensional airfoil flow is not relevant , and three - dimensional flow effects dominate . Air speed and density ( edit ) The flow conditions also affect lift . Lift is proportional to the density of the air and approximately proportional to the square of the flow speed . Lift also depends on the size of the wing , being generally proportional to the wing 's area projected in the lift direction . In aerodynamic theory and engineering calculations it is often convenient to quantify lift in terms of a `` Lift coefficient '' defined in a way that makes use of these proportionalities . Lift coefficient ( edit ) Main article : Lift coefficient If the lift coefficient for a wing at a specified angle of attack is known ( or estimated using a method such as thin airfoil theory ) , then the lift produced for specific flow conditions can be determined using the following equation : L = 1 2 ρ v 2 S C L ( \ displaystyle L = ( \ tfrac ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ) \ rho v ^ ( 2 ) SC_ ( L ) ) where L is lift force , ρ is air density , v is true airspeed , S is the wing area , and C L ( \ displaystyle C_ ( L ) ) is the lift coefficient at the desired angle of attack , Mach number , and Reynolds number Pressure integration ( edit ) When the pressure distribution on the airfoil surface is known , determining the total lift requires adding up the contributions to the pressure force from local elements of the surface , each with its own local value of pressure . The total lift is thus the integral of the pressure , in the direction perpendicular to the farfield flow , over the entire surface of the airfoil or wing . L = ∮ p n ⋅ k d S , ( \ displaystyle L = \ oint p \ mathbf ( n ) \ cdot \ mathbf ( k ) \ ; \ mathrm ( d ) S , ) where : L is the lift , S is the wing surface area p is the value of the pressure , n is the normal unit vector pointing into the wing , and k is the vertical unit vector , normal to the freestream direction . The above lift equation neglects the skin friction forces , which typically have a negligible contribution to the lift compared to the pressure forces . By using the streamwise vector i parallel to the freestream in place of k in the integral , we obtain an expression for the pressure drag D ( which includes the pressure portion of the profile drag and , if the wing is three - dimensional , the induced drag ) . If we use the spanwise vector j , we obtain the side force Y . D p = ∮ p n ⋅ i d S , Y = ∮ p n ⋅ j d S . ( \ displaystyle ( \ begin ( aligned ) D_ ( p ) & = \ oint p \ mathbf ( n ) \ cdot \ mathbf ( i ) \ ; \ mathrm ( d ) S , \ \ ( 1.2 ex ) Y& = \ oint p \ mathbf ( n ) \ cdot \ mathbf ( j ) \ ; \ mathrm ( d ) S. \ end ( aligned ) ) ) The validity of this integration generally requires the airfoil shape to be a closed curve that is piecewise smooth . A more comprehensive physical explanation ( edit ) As described above , there are two main popular explanations of lift , one based on downward deflection of the flow combined with Newton 's laws , and one based on changes in flow speed combined with Bernoulli 's principle . Either of these , by itself , correctly identifies some aspects of the lifting flow but leaves other important aspects of the phenomenon unexplained . A more comprehensive explanation involves both downward deflection and changes in flow speed , and requires looking at the flow in more detail . Lift involves action and reaction at the airfoil surface and is felt as a pressure difference ( edit ) The airfoil shape and angle of attack work together so that the airfoil exerts a downward force on the air as it flows past . According to Newton 's third law , the air must then exert an equal and opposite ( upward ) force on the airfoil , which is the lift . The force is exerted by the air as a pressure difference on the airfoil 's surfaces . Pressure in a fluid is always positive in an absolute sense , so that pressure must always be thought of as pushing , and never as pulling . The pressure thus pushes inward on the airfoil everywhere on both the upper and lower surfaces . The flowing air reacts to the presence of the wing by reducing the pressure on the wing 's upper surface and increasing the pressure on the lower surface . The pressure on the lower surface pushes up harder than the reduced pressure on the upper surface pushes down , and the net result is upward lift . The pressure difference that exerts lift acts directly on the airfoil surfaces . But understanding how the pressure difference is produced requires understanding what the flow does over a wider area . The airfoil affects the flow over a wide area around it ( edit ) Flow around an airfoil : the dots move with the flow . Note that the velocities are much higher at the upper surface than at the lower surface . The black dots are on timelines , which split into two -- an upper and lower part -- at the leading edge . Seeing the speed difference in the animation correctly requires keeping track of corresponding columns of markers on the upper - and lower - surface streamlines . Over the length of the airfoil the upper markers nearly catch up with the lower markers one column ahead , showing that the air columns do not rejoin as they were before separation . Colors of the dots indicate streamlines . The airfoil is a Kármán -- Trefftz airfoil , with parameters μ = − 0.08 , μ = + 0.08 and n = 1.94 . The angle of attack is 8 ° , and the flow is a potential flow . Pressure distribution with isobars around a lifting airfoil . The plus sign indicates pressure higher than ambient , and the minus sign indicates pressure lower than ambient ( not negative pressure in the absolute sense ) . The block arrows indicate the directions of net forces on fluid parcels in different parts of the flowfield . An airfoil affects the speed and direction of the flow over a wide area . When an airfoil produces lift , the flow ahead of the airfoil is deflected upward , the flow above and below the airfoil is deflected downward , and the flow behind the airfoil is deflected upward again , leaving the air far behind the airfoil flowing in the same direction as the oncoming flow far ahead . The flow above the upper surface is always sped up , and the flow below the airfoil is usually slowed down . The downward deflection and the changes in flow speed are pronounced and extend over a wide area , as can be seen in the flow animation on the right . These differences in the direction and speed of the flow are greatest close to the airfoil and decrease gradually far above and below . All of these features of the velocity field also appear in theoretical models for lifting flows . The pressure is also affected over a wide area . When an airfoil produces lift , there is always a diffuse region of low pressure above the airfoil , and there is usually a diffuse region of high pressure below , as illustrated by the isobars ( curves of constant pressure ) in the drawing . The pressure difference that acts on the surface is just part of this spread - out pattern of non-uniform pressure . The pressure differences and the changes in flow speed and direction support each other in a mutual interaction ( edit ) The non-uniform pressure exerts forces on the air in the direction from higher pressure to lower pressure . The direction of the force is different at different locations around the airfoil , as indicated by the block arrows in the pressure distribution with isobars figure . Air above the airfoil is pushed toward the center of the low - pressure region , and air below the airfoil is pushed outward from the center of the high - pressure region . According to Newton 's second law , a force causes air to accelerate in the direction of the force . Thus the vertical arrows in the pressure distribution with isobars figure indicate that air above and below the airfoil is accelerated , or turned downward , and that the non-uniform pressure is thus the cause of the downward deflection of the flow visible in the flow animation . To produce this downward turning , the airfoil must have a positive angle of attack or have its rear portion curved downward as on an airfoil with camber . Note that the downward turning of the flow over the upper surface is the result of the air being pushed downward by higher pressure above it than below it . The arrows ahead of the airfoil indicate that the flow ahead of the airfoil is deflected upward , and the arrows behind the airfoil indicate that the flow behind is deflected upward again , after being deflected downward over the airfoil . These deflections are also visible in the flow animation . The arrows ahead of the airfoil and behind also indicate that air passing through the low - pressure region above the airfoil is sped up as it enters , and slowed back down as it leaves . Air passing through the high - pressure region below the airfoil sees the opposite : It is slowed down and then sped back up . Thus the non-uniform pressure is also the cause of the changes in flow speed visible in the flow animation . The changes in flow speed are consistent with Bernoulli 's principle , which states that in a steady flow without viscosity , lower pressure means higher speed , and higher pressure means lower speed . Thus changes in flow direction and speed are directly caused by the non-uniform pressure . But this cause - and - effect relationship is not just one - way ; it works in both directions simultaneously . The air 's motion is affected by the pressure differences , but the existence of the pressure differences depends on the air 's motion . The relationship is thus a mutual , or reciprocal , interaction : Air flow changes speed or direction in response to pressure differences , and the pressure differences are sustained by the air 's resistance to changing speed or direction . A pressure difference can exist only if something is there for it to push against . In the case of an aerodynamic flow , what a pressure difference pushes against is the inertia of the air , as the air is accelerated by the pressure difference . And this is why the mass of the air is important , and why lift depends on air density . In summary , sustaining the pressure difference that exerts the lift force on the airfoil surfaces requires sustaining a pattern of non-uniform pressure spread over a wide area around the airfoil . This requires maintaining pressure differences in both the vertical and horizontal directions , and thus requires both downward turning of the flow and changes in flow speed according to Bernoulli 's principle . The pressure differences and the changes in flow direction and speed sustain each other in a mutual interaction . The pressure differences follow naturally from Newton 's second law and from the fact that the flow along the surface naturally follows the predominantly downward - sloping contours of the airfoil . And the fact that the air has mass is crucial to the interaction . The understanding of lift as a physical phenomenon ( edit ) The scientific understanding of lift is based on mathematical theories of continuum fluid mechanics that are in turn based on established principles of physics , as discussed below under `` Mathematical theories of lift '' . The applications of these theories to aerodynamic flows have been agreed upon by the scientific and engineering communities since the early 20th century . Starting with just the shape of the lifting surface and the general flow conditions ( airspeed , density , and angle of attack ) , the existence of lift , the amount of lift , and all of the important details of the lifting flow have been predicted successfully by the theories . Thus lift can be considered to be thoroughly understood in a scientific sense . Furthermore , the quantitative theories provide useful quantitative information for engineering purposes . Simplified physical explanations of lift , without mathematics , are also useful for purposes of understanding , especially by non-technical audiences . These qualitative explanations are by their nature less rigorous and are thus not as well established as the mathematical theories , and they can not provide quantitative information for engineering . A difficulty in devising such explanations is finding a satisfactory balance between completeness on one hand , and simplicity and brevity on the other . Fluid flows in general are complex phenomena , and simplified explanations are seldom completely satisfactory . Many different explanations of lift have been proposed , reflecting different choices of what aspect of the flow to emphasize . In many cases , oversimplification has led to incompleteness and / or outright errors . There has been a long history of disagreement and controversy , even into recent years , but only regarding the qualitative explanations , not the science itself . Mathematical theories of lift ( edit ) The mathematical theories are based on continuum fluid mechanics , in which it is assumed that air flows as if it were a continuous fluid . Lift is generated in accordance with the fundamental principles of physics , the most relevant being the following three principles : Conservation of momentum , which is a direct consequence of Newton 's laws of motion , especially Newton 's second law which relates the net force on an element of air to its rate of momentum change , Conservation of Mass , including the common assumption that the airfoil 's surface is impermeable for the air flowing around , and Conservation of energy , which says that energy is neither created nor destroyed . Because an airfoil affects the flow in a wide area around it , these physical principles must be enforced at all points throughout an extended region . To do this requires expressing the conservation principles in the form of partial - differential equations combined with a set of boundary conditions ( requirements the flow has to satisfy at the airfoil surface and far away from the airfoil ) . To predict lift requires solving the equations for a particular airfoil shape and flow condition , which generally requires calculations that are so voluminous that they are practical only on a computer , through the methods of Computational Fluid Dynamics ( CFD ) . Determining the net aerodynamic force from a CFD solution requires `` adding up '' ( integrating ) the forces due to pressure and shear determined by the CFD over every surface element of the airfoil as described under `` Pressure integration '' . The Navier - Stokes equations ( NS ) provide the potentially most accurate theory of lift , but in practice , capturing the effects of turbulence in the boundary layer on the airfoil surface requires sacrificing some accuracy and using the Reynolds - Averaged Navier - Stokes equations ( RANS ) , as explained below . Simpler but less accurate theories have also been developed and are described below . Navier - Stokes ( NS ) equations ( edit ) These equations represent conservation of mass , Newton 's second law ( conservation of momentum ) , conservation of energy , the Newtonian law for the action of viscosity , the Fourier heat conduction law , an equation of state relating density , temperature , and pressure , and formulas for the viscosity and thermal conductivity of the fluid . In principle , the NS equations , combined with boundary conditions of no through - flow and no slip at the airfoil surface , could be used to predict lift in any situation in ordinary atmospheric flight with high accuracy . However , lifting flows in practical situations always involve turbulence in the boundary layer next to the airfoil surface , at least over the aft portion of the airfoil . Predicting lift by solving the NS equations in their raw form would require the calculations to resolve the details of the turbulence , down to the smallest eddy . This is not yet possible , even on the most powerful current computer . So in principle the NS equations provide a complete and very accurate theory of lift , but practical prediction of lift requires that the effects of turbulence be modeled in the RANS equations rather than computed directly . Reynolds - averaged Navier - Stokes ( RANS ) equations ( edit ) These are the NS equations with the turbulence motions averaged over time , and the effects of the turbulence on the time - averaged flow represented by turbulence modeling ( an additional set of equations based on a combination of dimensional analysis and empirical information on how turbulence affects a boundary layer in a time - averaged average sense ) . A RANS solution consists of the time - averaged velocity vector , pressure , density , and temperature defined at a dense grid of points surrounding the airfoil . The amount of computation required is a minuscule fraction ( billionths ) of what would be required to resolve all of the turbulence motions in a raw NS calculation , and with large computers available it is now practical to carry out RANS calculations for complete airplanes in three dimensions . Because turbulence models are not perfect , the accuracy of RANS calculations is imperfect , but it is good enough to be very helpful to airplane designers . Lift predicted by RANS is usually within a few percent of the actual lift . Inviscid - flow equations ( Euler or potential ) ( edit ) The Euler equations are the NS equations with the viscosity , heat conduction , and turbulence effects deleted . As with a RANS solution , an Euler solution consists of the velocity vector , pressure , density , and temperature defined at a dense grid of points surrounding the airfoil . While the Euler equations are simpler than the NS equations , they still do not lend themselves to exact analytic solutions . Further simplification is available through potential flow theory , which reduces the number of unknowns that must be solved for and makes analytic solutions possible in some cases , as described below . Either Euler or potential - flow calculations predict the pressure distribution on the airfoil surfaces roughly correctly for angles of attack below stall , where they might miss the total lift by as much as 10 - 20 % . At angles of attack above stall , inviscid calculations do not predict that stall has happened , and as a result they grossly overestimate the lift . In potential - flow theory , the flow is assumed to be irrotational , i.e. that small fluid parcels have no net rate of rotation . Mathematically , this is expressed by the statement that the curl of the velocity vector field is everywhere equal to zero . Irrotational flows have the convenient property that the velocity can be expressed as the gradient of a scalar function called a potential . A flow represented in this way is called potential flow . In potential - flow theory , the flow is usually further assumed to be incompressible . Incompressible potential - flow theory has the advantage that the equation ( Laplace 's equation ) to be solved for the potential is linear , which allows solutions to be constructed by superposition of other known solutions . The incompressible - potential - flow equation can also be solved by conformal mapping , a method based on the theory of functions of a complex variable . In the early 20th century , before computers were available , conformal mapping was used to generate solutions to the incompressible potential - flow equation for a class of idealized airfoil shapes , providing some of the first practical theoretical predictions of the pressure distribution on a lifting airfoil . A solution of the potential equation directly determines only the velocity field . The pressure field is deduced from the velocity field through Bernoulli 's equation . Comparison of a non-lifting flow pattern around an airfoil and a lifting flow pattern consistent with the Kutta condition , in which the flow leaves the trailing edge smoothly . Applying potential - flow theory to a lifting flow requires special treatment and an additional assumption . The problem arises because lift on an airfoil in inviscid flow requires circulation in the flow around the airfoil ( See `` Circulation and the Kutta - Joukowski theorem '' below ) , but a single potential function that is continuous throughout the domain around the airfoil can not represent a flow with nonzero circulation . The solution to this problem is to introduce a branch cut , a curve or line from some point on the airfoil surface out to infinite distance , and to allow a jump in the value of the potential across the cut . The jump in the potential imposes circulation in the flow equal to the potential jump and thus allows nonzero circulation to be represented . However , the potential jump is a free parameter that is not determined by the potential equation or the other boundary conditions , and the solution is thus indeterminate . A potential - flow solution exists for any value of the circulation and any value of the lift . One way to resolve this indeterminacy is to impose the Kutta condition , which is that , of all the possible solutions , the physically reasonable solution is the one in which the flow leaves the trailing edge smoothly . The streamline sketches illustrate one flow pattern with zero lift , in which the flow goes around the trailing edge and leaves the upper surface ahead of the trailing edge , and another flow pattern with positive lift , in which the flow leaves smoothly at the trailing edge in accordance with the Kutta condition . Linearized potential flow ( edit ) This is potential - flow theory with the further assumptions that the airfoil is very thin and the angle of attack is small . The linearized theory predicts the general character of the airfoil pressure distribution and how it is influenced by airfoil shape and angle of attack , but is not accurate enough for design work . For a 2D airfoil , such calculations can be done in a fraction of a second in a spreadsheet on a PC . Circulation and the Kutta - Joukowski theorem ( edit ) Circulation component of the flow around a moving airfoil . The Kutta - Joukowski theorem relates the lift on an airfoil to a circulatory component ( circulation ) of the flow around the airfoil . Kutta - Joukowski is not a complete theory of lift in the same sense as those listed above because it does not predict how much circulation or lift a given airfoil will produce . Calculating the lift from Kutta - Joukowski requires a known value for the circulation . The circulation Γ ( \ displaystyle \ Gamma ) is the contour integral of the tangential velocity of the air on a closed loop ( also called a ' circuit ' ) around the boundary of an airfoil . It can be understood as the total amount of `` spinning '' ( or vorticity ) of air around the airfoil . The section lift / span L ′ ( \ displaystyle L ' ) can be calculated using the Kutta -- Joukowski theorem : L ′ = ρ v Γ ( \ displaystyle L ' = \ rho v \ Gamma \ , ) where ρ ( \ displaystyle \ rho ) is the air density , v ( \ displaystyle v ) is the free - stream airspeed . Several components of the overall velocity field contribute to the circulation : the upward flow ahead of the airfoil , the accelerated flow above the airfoil , the decelerated flow below the airfoil , and the downward flow behind the airfoil . One derivation of the Kutta - Joukowski theorem involves integrating the fluxes of vertical momentum ahead of the airfoil and behind ( on vertical planes extending to large distances above and below ) , taking the difference , and showing that the result is related to both the lift and the circulation . The flux of upward momentum ahead of the airfoil is found to account for half the lift , and the flux of downward momentum behind the airfoil is found to account for the other half , a result that also applies to three - dimensional wings . The Kutta - Joukowski theorem is a key element in an explanation of lift that follows the development of the flow around an airfoil as the airfoil starts its motion from rest and a starting vortex is formed and left behind , leading to the formation of circulation around the airfoil . Lift is then inferred from the Kutta - Joukowski theorem . This explanation is largely mathematical , and its general progression is based on logical inference , not physical cause - and - effect . The circulation around a conventional airfoil , and hence the lift it generates , is dictated by both its design and the flight conditions , such as forward velocity and angle of attack . Lift can be increased by artificially increasing the circulation , for example by boundary - layer blowing or the use of blown flaps . In the Flettner rotor the entire airfoil is circular and spins about a spanwise axis to create the circulation . Momentum balance in lifting flows ( edit ) Control volumes of different shapes that have been used in analyzing the momentum balance in the 2D flow around a lifting airfoil . The airfoil is assumed to exert a downward force - L ' per unit span on the air , and the proportions in which that force is manifested as momentum fluxes and pressure differences at the outer boundary are indicated for each different shape of control volume Illustration of the distribution of higher - than - ambient pressure on the ground under an airplane in flight The flow around a lifting airfoil must satisfy Newton 's second law , or conservation of momentum , both locally at every point in the flow field , and in an integrated sense over any extended region of the flow . For an extended region , Newton 's second law takes the form of the momentum theorem for a control volume , where a control volume can be any region of the flow chosen for analysis . The momentum theorem states that the integrated force exerted at the boundaries of the control volume ( a surface integral ) , is equal to the integrated time rate of change ( material derivative ) of the momentum of fluid parcels passing through the interior of the control volume ( a volume integral ) . For a steady flow , the volume integral can be replaced by the net surface integral of the flux of momentum through the boundary via Stokes ' theorem . The lifting flow around a 2D airfoil is usually analyzed in a control volume that completely surrounds the airfoil , so that the inner boundary of the control volume is the airfoil surface , where the downward force per unit span − L ′ ( \ displaystyle - L ' ) is exerted on the fluid by the airfoil . The outer boundary is usually either a large circle or a large rectangle . At this outer boundary distant from the airfoil , the velocity and pressure are well represented by the velocity and pressure associated with a uniform flow plus a vortex , and viscous stress is negligible , so that the only force that must be integrated over the outer boundary is the pressure . The free - stream velocity is usually assumed to be horizontal , with lift vertically upward , so that the vertical momentum is the component of interest . For the free - air case ( no ground plane ) , it is found that the force − L ′ ( \ displaystyle - L ' ) exerted by the airfoil on the fluid is manifested partly as momentum fluxes and partly as pressure differences at the outer boundary , in proportions that depend on the shape of the outer boundary , as shown in the diagram at right . For a flat horizontal rectangle that is much longer than it is tall , the fluxes of vertical momentum through the front and back are negligible , and the lift is accounted for entirely by the integrated pressure differences on the top and bottom . For a square or circle , the momentum fluxes and pressure differences account for half the lift each . For a vertical rectangle that is much taller than it is wide , the unbalanced pressure forces on the top and bottom are negligible , and lift is accounted for entirely by momentum fluxes , with a flux of upward momentum that enters the control volume through the front accounting for half the lift , and a flux of downward momentum that exits the control volume through the back accounting for the other half . The results of all of the control - volume analyses described above are consistent with the Kutta - Joukowski theorem described in the previous subsection . Both the tall rectangle and circle control volumes have been used in derivations of the theorem . When a ground plane is present , there is a pattern of higher - than - ambient pressure on the ground below an airplane in flight , as shown on the right For steady , level flight , the integrated pressure force associated with this pattern is equal to the total aerodynamic lift of the airplane and to the airplane 's weight . According to Newton 's third law , this pressure force exerted on the ground by the air is matched by an equal - and - opposite upward force exerted on the air by the ground , which offsets all of the downward force exerted on the air by the airplane . The net force due to the lift , acting on the atmosphere as a whole , is therefore zero , and there is thus no integrated accumulation of vertical momentum in the atmosphere . Lift of three - dimensional wings ( edit ) Cross-section of an airplane wing - body combination showing the isobars of the three - dimensional lifting flow . Cross-section of an airplane wing - body combination showing velocity vectors of the three - dimensional lifting flow . For wings of moderate - to - high aspect ratio , the flow at any station along the span except close to the tips behaves much like flow around a two - dimensional airfoil , and most explanations of lift , like those above , concentrate on two - dimensional flow . However , even for wings of high aspect ratio , the three - dimensional effects associated with finite span are significant across the whole span , not just close to the tips . The lift tends to decrease in the spanwise direction from root to tip , and the pressure distributions around the airfoil sections change accordingly in the spanwise direction . Pressure distributions in planes perpendicular to the flight direction tend to look like the illustration at right . This spanwise - varying pressure distribution is sustained by a mutual interaction with the velocity field . Flow below the wing is accelerated outboard , flow outboard of the tips is accelerated upward , and flow above the wing is accelerated inboard , which results in the flow pattern illustrated at right . There is more downward turning of the flow than there would be in a two - dimensional flow with the same airfoil shape and sectional lift , and a higher sectional angle of attack is required to achieve the same lift compared to a two - dimensional flow . The wing is effectively flying in a downdraft of its own making , as if the freestream flow were tilted downward , with the result that the total aerodynamic force vector is tilted backward slightly compared to what it would be in two dimensions . The additional backward component of the force vector is called lift - induced drag . Euler computation of a tip vortex rolling up from the trailed vorticity sheet . The difference in the spanwise component of velocity above and below the wing ( between being in the inboard direction above and in the outboard direction below ) persists at the trailing edge and into the wake downstream . After the flow leaves the trailing edge , this difference in velocity takes place across a relatively thin shear layer called a vortex sheet . As the vortex sheet is convected downstream from the trailing edge , it rolls up at its outer edges , eventually forming distinct wingtip vortices . The combination of the wingtip vortices and the vortex sheets feeding them is called the vortex wake . Planview of a wing showing the horseshoe vortex system . In addition to the vorticity in the trailing vortex wake there is vorticity in the wing 's boundary layer , which is often called the bound vorticity and which connects the trailing sheets from the two sides of the wing into a vortex system in the general form of a horseshoe . The horseshoe form of the vortex system was recognized by the British aeronautical pioneer Lanchester in 1907 . Given the distribution of bound vorticity and the vorticity in the wake , the Biot - Savart law ( a vector - calculus relation ) can be used to calculate the velocity perturbation anywhere in the field , caused by the lift on the wing . Approximate theories for the lift distribution and lift - induced drag of three - dimensional wings are based on such analysis applied to the wing 's horseshoe vortex system . In these theories , the bound vorticity is usually idealized and assumed to reside at the camber surface inside the wing . Because the velocity is deduced from the vorticity in such theories , there is a tendency for some authors to describe the situation in terms that imply that the vorticity is the cause of the velocity perturbations , using terms such as `` the velocity induced by the vortex , '' for example . But attributing causation to the vorticity in this way is not consistent with the physics . The real cause of the velocity perturbations is the pressure field . Viscous effects : profile drag and stalling ( edit ) Airflow separating from a wing at a high angle of attack No matter how smooth the surface of an airfoil seems , any real surface is rough on the scale of air molecules . Air molecules flying into the surface bounce off the rough surface in random directions not related to their incoming directions . The result is that when the air is viewed as if it were a continuous material , it is seen to be unable to slide along the surface , and the air 's tangential velocity at the surface goes to practically zero , something known as the no - slip condition . Because the air at the surface has near - zero velocity , and air away from the surface is moving , there is a thin boundary layer in which the air close to the surface is subjected to a shearing motion . The air 's viscosity resists the shearing , giving rise to a shear stress at the airfoil 's surface called skin - friction drag . Over most of the surface of most airfoils , the boundary layer is naturally turbulent , which increases skin - friction drag . Under usual flight conditions , the boundary layer remains attached to both the upper and lower surfaces all the way to the trailing edge , and its effect on the rest of the flow is modest . Compared to the predictions of inviscid - flow theory , in which there is no boundary layer , the attached boundary layer reduces the lift by a modest amount and modifies the pressure distribution somewhat , which results in a viscosity - related pressure drag over and above the skin - friction drag . The total of the skin - friction drag and the viscosity - related pressure drag is usually called the profile drag . The maximum lift an airfoil can produce at a given airspeed is limited by boundary - layer separation . As the angle of attack is increased , a point is reached where the boundary layer can no longer remain attached to the upper surface . When the boundary layer separates , it leaves a region of recirculating flow above the upper surface , as illustrated in the flow - visualization photo at right . This is known as the stall , or stalling . At angles of attack above the stall , lift is significantly reduced , though it is not zero . The maximum lift that can be achieved before stall , in terms of the lift coefficient , is generally less than 2.0 for single - element airfoils and can be more than 3.0 for airfoils with high - lift slotted flaps deployed . Lift forces on bluff bodies ( edit ) Further information : Vortex shedding and Vortex - induced vibration The flow around bluff bodies -- i.e. without a streamlined shape , or stalling airfoils -- may also generate lift , besides a strong drag force . This lift may be steady , or it may oscillate due to vortex shedding . Interaction of the object 's flexibility with the vortex shedding may enhance the effects of fluctuating lift and cause vortex - induced vibrations . For instance , the flow around a circular cylinder generates a Kármán vortex street : vortices being shed in an alternating fashion from each side of the cylinder . The oscillatory nature of the flow is reflected in the fluctuating lift force on the cylinder , whereas the mean lift force is negligible . The lift force frequency is characterised by the dimensionless Strouhal number , which depends ( among others ) on the Reynolds number of the flow . For a flexible structure , this oscillatory lift force may induce vortex - induced vibrations . Under certain conditions -- for instance resonance or strong spanwise correlation of the lift force -- the resulting motion of the structure due to the lift fluctuations may be strongly enhanced . Such vibrations may pose problems and threaten collapse in tall man - made structures like industrial chimneys . In the Magnus effect , a lift force is generated by a spinning cylinder in a freestream . Here the mechanical rotation acts on the boundary layer , causing it to separate at different locations on the two sides of the cylinder . The asymmetric separation changes the effective shape of the cylinder as far as the flow is concerned such that the cylinder acts like a lifting airfoil with circulation in the outer flow . Alternative explanations , misconceptions , and controversies ( edit ) Many other alternative explanations for the generation of lift by an airfoil have been put forward , a few of which are presented here . Most of them are intended to explain the phenomenon of lift to a general audience . Although the explanations may share features in common with the explanations above , additional assumptions and simplifications may be introduced . This can reduce the validity of an alternative explanation to a limited sub-class of lift generating conditions , or might not allow a quantitative analysis . Several theories introduce assumptions which proved to be wrong , like the equal transit - time theory . False explanation based on equal transit - time ( edit ) An illustration of the incorrect equal transit - time explanation of airfoil lift . Basic or popular sources often describe the `` equal transit - time '' theory of lift , which incorrectly assumes that the parcels of air that divide at the leading edge of an airfoil must rejoin at the trailing edge , forcing the air traveling along the longer upper surface to go faster . Bernoulli 's Principle is then cited to conclude that since the air moves slower along the bottom of the wing , the air pressure must be higher , pushing the wing up . However , there is no physical principle that requires equal transit time and experimental results show that this assumption is false . In fact , the air moving over the top of an airfoil generating lift moves much faster than the equal transit theory predicts . Further , the theory violates Newton 's third law of motion , since it describes a force on the wing with no opposite force . The assertion that the air must arrive simultaneously at the trailing edge is sometimes referred to as the `` Equal Transit - Time Fallacy '' . Controversy regarding the Coandă effect ( edit ) Main article : Coandă effect In its original sense , the Coandă effect refers to the tendency of a fluid jet to stay attached to an adjacent surface that curves away from the flow , and the resultant entrainment of ambient air into the flow . The effect is named for Henri Coandă , the Romanian aerodynamicist who exploited it in many of his patents . More broadly , some consider the effect to include the tendency of any fluid boundary layer to adhere to a curved surface , not just the boundary layer accompanying a fluid jet . It is in this broader sense that the Coandă effect is used by some to explain why the air flow remains attached to the top side of an airfoil . Jef Raskin , for example , describes a simple demonstration , using a straw to blow over the upper surface of a wing . The wing deflects upwards , thus demonstrating that the Coandă effect creates lift . This demonstration correctly demonstrates the Coandă effect as a fluid jet ( the exhaust from a straw ) adhering to a curved surface ( the wing ) . However , the upper surface in this flow is a complicated , vortex - laden mixing layer , while on the lower surface the flow is quiescent . The physics of this demonstration are very different from that of the general flow over the wing . The usage in this sense is encountered in some popular references on aerodynamics . This is a controversial use of the term `` Coanda effect . '' The more established view in the aerodynamics field is that the Coandă effect is defined in the more limited sense above , and the flow following the upper surface simply reflects an absence of boundary - layer separation and is not an example of the Coandă effect . Misconception regarding the role of viscosity ( edit ) Explanations that use the term `` Coandă effect '' sometimes further assert that the viscosity of the flow in the boundary layer is responsible for the ability of the flow to follow the convex upper surface . However , the idea that viscosity plays a significant role in flow turning is not consistent with the physics of curved boundary - layer flows . Analysis of the momentum balance in the flow in the boundary layer shows that the flow curvature is caused almost exclusively by the pressure gradient and that viscosity plays practically no direct role in the ability of the flow to follow a curved surface . Misconception regarding `` pulling down '' of the flow ( edit ) Explanations that refer to the Coandă effect sometimes also refer to the flow over the upper surface as `` sticking '' to the airfoil and being `` pulled down '' to follow the surface . Taken literally , this description is not consistent with the physics of gasses . For air to be pulled in the literal sense , it would have to be put in tension ( negative pressure ) . The kinetic theory of gasses shows that in a gas at a positive absolute temperature the pressure can not be negative . Thus for the flow to curve downward over the upper surface , it must be pushed down by higher pressure above than below . The difference in pressure between the flow at the upper surface itself and the flow far above the airfoil is generally small compared with the background atmospheric pressure , so that the lowest pressure on the airfoil upper surface is still strongly positive in an absolute sense .

how does a plane wing create lift which physics concept applies
[ "The air flow changes direction as it passes the airfoil and follows a path that is curved downward. According to Newton's second law, this change in flow direction requires a downward force applied to the air by the airfoil. Then, according to Newton's third law, the air must exert an upward force on the airfoil. The overall result is that a reaction force, the lift, is generated opposite to the directional change. In the case of an airplane wing, the wing exerts a downward force on the air and the air exerts an upward force on the wing.[17][18][19][20][21][22][23][25]", "The air flow changes direction as it passes the airfoil and follows a path that is curved downward.

Transition state analog
Transition state analog - wikipedia Transition state analog Jump to : navigation , search Transition state analogs ( transition state analogues ) , are chemical compounds with a chemical structure that resembles the transition state of a substrate molecule in an enzyme - catalyzed chemical reaction . Enzymes interact with a substrate by means of strain or distortions , moving the substrate towards the transition state . Transition state analogs can be used as inhibitors in enzyme - catalyzed reactions by blocking the active site of the enzyme . Theory suggests that enzyme inhibitors which resembled the transition state structure would bind more tightly to the enzyme than the actual substrate . Examples of drugs that are transition state analog inhibitors include flu medications such as the neuraminidase inhibitor oseltamivir and the HIV protease inhibitors saquinavir in the treatment of AIDS . Contents ( hide ) 1 Transition state analogue 2 Designing transition state analogue 2.1 Kinetic isotope effect 2.2 Computational simulation 3 Examples of transition state analogue design 3.1 Methylthioadenosine nucleosidase inhibitor 3.2 Thermolysin inhibitor 3.3 Arginase inhibitor 4 See also 5 References Transition state analogue ( edit ) The transition state of a structure can best be described in regards to statistical mechanics where the energies of bonds breaking and forming have an equal probability of moving from the transition state backwards to the reactants or forward to the products . In enzyme - catalyzed reactions , the overall activation energy of the reaction is lowered when an enzyme stabilizes a high energy transition state intermediate . Transition state analogs mimic this high energy intermediate but do not undergo a catalyzed chemical reaction and can therefore bind much stronger to an enzyme than simple substrate or product analogs . Designing transition state analogue ( edit ) To design a transition state analogue , the pivotal step is the determination of transition state structure of substrate on the specific enzyme of interest with experimental method , for example , kinetic isotope effect . In addition , the transition state structure can also be predicted with computational approaches as a complementary to KIE . We will explain these two methods in brief . Kinetic isotope effect ( edit ) Kinetic isotope effect ( KIE ) is a measurement of the reaction rate of isotope - labeled reactants against the more common natural substrate . Kinetic isotope effect values are a ratio of the turnover number and include all steps of the reaction . Intrinsic kinetic isotope values stem from the difference in the bond vibrational environment of an atom in the reactants at ground state to the environment of the atom 's transition state . Through the kinetic isotope effect much insight can be gained as to what the transition state looks like of an enzyme - catalyzed reaction and guide the development of transition state analogs . Computational simulation ( edit ) Computational approaches have been regarded as a useful tool to elucidate the mechanism of action of enzymes . Molecular mechanics itself can not predict the electron transfer which is the fundamental of organic reaction but the molecular dynamics simulation provide sufficient information considering the flexibility of protein during catalytic reaction . The complementary method would be combined molecular mechanics / quantum mechanics simulation ( QM / MM ) methods . With this approach , only the atoms responsible for enzymatic reaction in the catalytic region will be reared with quantum mechanics and the rest of the atoms were treated with molecular mechanics . Examples of transition state analogue design ( edit ) After determining the transition state structures using either KIE or computation simulations , the inhibitor can be designed according to the determined transition state structures or intermediates . The following three examples illustrate how the inhibitors mimic the transition state structure by changing functional groups correspond to the geometry and electrostatic distribution of the transition state structures . Methylthioadenosine nucleosidase inhibitor ( edit ) Methylthioadenosine nucleosidase are enzymes that catalyse the hydrolytic deadenylation reaction of 5 ' - methylthioadenosine and S - adenosylhomocysteine . It is also regarded as an important target for antibacterial drug discovery because it is important in the metabolic system of bacteria and only produced by bacteria . Given the different distance between nitrogen atom of adenine and the ribose anomeric carbon ( see in the diagram in this section ) , the transition state structure can be defined by early or late dissociation stage . Based on the finding of different transition state structures , Schramm and coworkers designed two transition state analogues mimicking the early and late dissociative transition state . The early and late transition state analogue shown binding affinity ( Kd ) of 360 and 140 pM , respectively . Thermolysin inhibitor ( edit ) Thermolysin is an enzyme produced by Bacillus thermoproteolyticus that catalyses the hydrolysis of peptides containing hydrophobic amino acids . Therefore , it is also a target for antibacterial agents . The enzymatic reaction mechanism starts form the small peptide molecule and replaces the zinc binding water molecule towards Glu143 of thermolysin . The water molecule is then activated by both the zinc ion and the Glu143 residue and attacks the carbonyl carbon to form a tetrahedral transition state ( see figure ) . Holden and coworkers then mimicked that tetrahedral transition state to design a series of phosphonamidate peptide analogues . Among the synthesized analogues , R = L - Leu possesses the most potent inhibitory activity ( K = 9.1 nM ) . Arginase inhibitor ( edit ) Arginase is a binuclear manganese metallopritein that catalyse the hydrolysis of L - arginine to L - ornithine and urea . It is also regarded as a drug target for the treatment of asthma . The mechanism of hydrolysis of L - arginine was carryout by nucleophilic attack of water molecule forming a tetrahedral intermediate . Studies shown that boronic acid moiety adopts tetrahedral configuration and serve as an inhibitor . In addition , the sulfonamide functional group can also mimic that transition state structure . The evidence of boronic acid mimic as transitions state analogue inhibitor was elucidated by x-ray crystal structure complex with human arginase I .

Cerebrospinal fluid
Cerebrospinal fluid - wikipedia Cerebrospinal fluid This article uses anatomical terminology ; for an overview , see Anatomical terminology . Cerebrospinal fluid The cerebrospinal fluid ( CSF ) circulates in the subarachnoid space around the brain and spinal cord Image showing the location of CSF highlighting the brain 's ventricular system Details Identifiers Latin liquor cerebrospinalis Acronym ( s ) CSF MeSH D002555 TA A14. 1.01. 203 FMA 20935 Anatomical terminology ( edit on Wikidata ) Cerebrospinal fluid ( CSF ) is a clear , colorless body fluid found in the brain and spinal cord . It is produced by the specialised ependymal cells in the choroid plexuses of the ventricles of the brain , and absorbed in the arachnoid granulations . There is about 125mL of CSF at any one time , and about 500mL is generated every day . CSF acts as a cushion or buffer for the brain , providing basic mechanical and immunological protection to the brain inside the skull . CSF also serves a vital function in cerebral autoregulation of cerebral blood flow . CSF occupies the subarachnoid space ( between the arachnoid mater and the pia mater ) and the ventricular system around and inside the brain and spinal cord . It fills the ventricles of the brain , cisterns , and sulci , as well as the central canal of the spinal cord . There is also a connection from the subarachnoid space to the bony labyrinth of the inner ear via the perilymphatic duct where the perilymph is continuous with the cerebrospinal fluid . A sample of CSF can be taken via lumbar puncture . This can reveal the intracranial pressure , as well as indicate diseases including infections of the brain or its surrounding meninges . Although noted by Hippocrates , it was only in the 18th century that Emanuel Swedenborg is credited with its rediscovery , and as late as 1914 that Harvey W. Cushing demonstrated CSF was secreted by the choroid plexus .

This CSF circulates within the ventricular system of the brain . The ventricles are a series of cavities filled with CSF . The majority of CSF is produced from within the two lateral ventricles . From here , CSF passes through the interventricular foramina to the third ventricle , then the cerebral aqueduct to the fourth ventricle . From the fourth ventricle , the fluid passes into the subarachnoid space through four openings -- the central canal of the spinal cord , the median aperture , and the two lateral apertures . CSF is present within the subarachnoid space , which covers the brain , spinal cord , and stretches below the end of the spinal cord to the sacrum . There is a connection from the subarachnoid space to the bony labyrinth of the inner ear making the cerebrospinal fluid continuous with the perilymph in 93 % of people . CSF moves in a single outward direction from the ventricles , but multidirectionally in the subarachnoid space . Fluid movement is pulsatile , matching the pressure waves generated in blood vessels by the beating of the heart . Some authors dispute this , posing that there is no unidirectional CSF circulation , but cardiac cycle - dependent bi-directional systolic - diastolic to - and - fro cranio - spinal CSF movements . Contents ( edit ) CSF is derived from blood plasma and is largely similar to it , except that CSF is nearly protein - free compared with plasma and has some different electrolyte levels . Due to the way it is produced , CSF has a higher chloride level than plasma , and an equivalent sodium level . CSF contains approximately 0.3 % plasma proteins , or approximately 15 to 40 mg / dL , depending on sampling site . In general , globular proteins and albumin are in lower concentration in ventricular CSF compared to lumbar or cisternal fluid . This continuous flow into the venous system dilutes the concentration of larger , lipid - insoluble molecules penetrating the brain and CSF . CSF is normally free of red blood cells , and at most contains only a few white blood cells . Any white blood cell count higher than this constitutes pleocytosis . Development ( edit ) At around the third week of development , the embryo is a three - layered disc , covered with ectoderm , mesoderm and endoderm . A tube - like formation develops in the midline , called the notochord . The notochord releases extracellular molecules that affect the transformation of the overlying ectoderm into nervous tissue . The neural tube , forming from the ectoderm , contains CSF prior to the development of the choroid plexuses . The open neuropores of the neural tube close after the first month of development , and CSF pressure gradually increases . As the brain develops , by the fourth week of embryological development three swellings have formed within the embryo around the canal , near where the head will develop . These swellings represent different components of the central nervous system : the prosencephalon , mesencephalon and rhombencephalon . Subarachnoid spaces are first evident around the 32nd day of development near the rhombencephalon ; circulation is visible from the 41st day . At this time , the first choroid plexus can be seen , found in the fourth ventricle , although the time at which they first secrete CSF is not yet known . The developing forebrain surrounds the neural cord . As the forebrain develops , the neural cord within it becomes a ventricle , ultimately forming the lateral ventricles . Along the inner surface of both ventricles , the ventricular wall remains thin , and a choroid plexus develops , producing and releasing CSF . CSF quickly fills the neural canal . Arachnoid villi are formed around the 35th week of development , with aracnhoid granulations noted around the 39th , and continuing developing until 18 months of age . The subcommissural organ secretes SCO - spondin , which forms Reissner 's fiber within CSF assisting movement through the cerebral aqueduct . It is present in early intra-uterine life but disappears during early development . Physiology ( edit ) Function ( edit ) CSF serves several purposes : Buoyancy : The actual mass of the human brain is about 1400 -- 1500 grams ; however , the net weight of the brain suspended in CSF is equivalent to a mass of 25 - 50 grams . The brain therefore exists in neutral buoyancy , which allows the brain to maintain its density without being impaired by its own weight , which would cut off blood supply and kill neurons in the lower sections without CSF . Protection : CSF protects the brain tissue from injury when jolted or hit , by providing a fluid buffer that acts as a shock absorber from some forms of mechanical injury . Prevention of brain ischemia : The prevention of brain ischemia is made by decreasing the amount of CSF in the limited space inside the skull . This decreases total intracranial pressure and facilitates blood perfusion . Homeostasis : CSF allows for regulation of the distribution of substances between cells of the brain , and neuroendocrine factors , to which slight changes can cause problems or damage to the nervous system . For example , high glycine concentration disrupts temperature and blood pressure control , and high CSF pH causes dizziness and syncope . Clearing waste : CSF allows for the removal of waste products from the brain , and is critical in the brain 's lymphatic system . Metabolic waste products diffuse rapidly into CSF and are removed into the bloodstream as CSF is absorbed . Production ( edit ) Comparison of Average Serum and Cerebrospinal Fluid Substance CSF Serum Water Content ( % ) 99 93 Protein ( mg / dL ) 35 7000 Glucose ( mg / dL ) 60 90 Osmolarity ( mOsm / L ) 295 295 Sodium ( mEq / L ) 138 138 Potassium ( mEq / L ) 2.8 4.5 Calcium ( mEq / L ) 4.8 Magnesium ( mEq / L ) 2.0 -- 2.5 1.7 Chloride ( mEq / L ) 119 102 pH 7.33 7.41 The brain produces roughly 500 mL of cerebrospinal fluid per day , at a rate of about 25 mL an hour . This transcellular fluid is constantly reabsorbed , so that only 125 -- 150 mL is present at any one time . CSF volume is higher on a mL / kg basis in children compared to adults . Infants have a CSF volume of 4 mL / kg , children have a CSF volume of 3 mL / kg , and adults have a CSF volume of 1.5 - 2 mL / kg . A high CSF volume is why a larger dose of local anesthetic , on a mL / kg basis , is needed in infants . Additionally , the larger CSF volume may be one reason as to why children have lower rates of postdural puncture headache . Most ( about two - thirds to 80 % ) of CSF is produced by the choroid plexus . The choroid plexus is a network of blood vessels present within sections of the four ventricles of the brain . It is present throughout the ventricular system except for the cerebral aqueduct , frontal horn of the lateral ventricle , and occipital horn of the lateral ventricle . CSF is also produced by the single layer of column - shaped ependymal cells which line the ventricles ; by the lining surrounding the subarachnoid space ; and a small amount directly from the tiny spaces surrounding blood vessels around the brain . CSF is produced by the choroid plexus in two steps . Firstly , a filtered form of plasma moves from fenestrated capillaries in the choroid plexus into an interstitial space , with movement guided by a difference in pressure between the blood in the capillaries and the interstitial fluid . This fluid then needs to pass through the epithelium cells lining the choroid plexus into the ventricles , an active process requiring the transport of sodium , potassium and chloride that draws water into CSF by creating osmotic pressure . Unlike blood passing from the capillaries into the choroid plexus , the epithelial cells lining the choroid plexus contain tight junctions between cells , which act to prevent most substances flowing freely into CSF . Water and carbon dioxide from the interstitial fluid diffuse into the epithelial cells . Within these cells , carbonic anhydrase converts the substances into bicarbonate and hydrogen ions . These are exchanged for sodium and chloride on the cell surface facing the interstitium . Sodium , chloride , bicarbonate and potassium are then actively secreted into the ventricular lumen . This creates osmotic pressure and draws water into CSF , facilitated by aquaporins . Chloride , with a negative charge , moves with the positively charged sodium , to maintain electroneutrality . Potassium and bicarbonate are also transported out of CSF . As a result , CSF contains a higher concentration of sodium and chloride than blood plasma , but less potassium , calcium and glucose and protein . Choroid plexuses also secrete growth factors , vitamins B1 , 12 C , folate , beta - 2 microglobulin , arginine vasopressin and nitrous oxide into CSF . A Na - K - Cl cotransporter and Na / K ATPase found on the surface of the choroid endothelium , appears to play a role in regulating CSF secretion and composition . Orešković and Klarica hypothesise that CSF is not primarily produced by the choroid plexus , but is being permanently produced inside the entire CSF system , as a consequence of water filtration through the capillary walls into the interstitial fluid of the surrounding brain tissue , regulated by AQP - 4 . There are circadian variations in CSF secretion , with the mechanisms not fully understood , but potentially relating to differences in the activation of the autonomic nervous system over the course of the day . Choroid plexus of the lateral ventricle produces CSF from the arterial blood provided by the choroidal arteries . In the fourth ventricle , CSF is produced from the artierial blood from the anterior inferior cerebellar artery ( cerebellopontine angle and the adjacent part of the lateral recess ) , the posterior inferior cerebellar artery ( roof and median opening ) , and the superior cerebellar artery . Reabsorption ( edit ) CSF returns to the vascular system by entering the dural venous sinuses via arachnoid granulations . These are outpouchings of the arachnoid mater into the venous sinuses around the brain , with valves to ensure one - way drainage . This occurs because of a pressure difference between the arachnoid mater and venous sinuses . CSF has also been seen to drain into lymphatic vessels , particularly those surrounding the nose via drainage along the olfactory nerve through the cribriform plate . The pathway and extent are currently not known , but may involve CSF flow along some cranial nerves and be more prominent in the neonate . CSF turns over at a rate of three to four times a day . CSF has also been seen to be reabsorbed through the sheathes of cranial and spinal nerve sheathes , and through the ependyma . Regulation ( edit ) The composition and rate of CSF generation are influenced by hormones and the content and pressure of blood and CSF . For example , when CSF pressure is higher , there is less of a pressure difference between the capillary blood in choroid plexuses and CSF , decreasing the rate at which fluids move into the choroid plexus and CSF generation . The autonomic nervous system influences choroid plexus CSF secretion , with activation of the sympathetic nervous system increasing secretion and the parasympathetic nervous system decreasing it . Changes in the pH of the blood can affect the activity of carbonic anhydrase , and some drugs ( such as frusemide , acting on the Na - K - Cl cotransporter ) have the potential to impact membrane channels . Clinical significance ( edit ) Pressure ( edit ) CSF pressure , as measured by lumbar puncture , is 10 -- 18 cmH O ( 8 -- 15 mmHg or 1.1 -- 2 kPa ) with the patient lying on the side and 20 -- 30 cmH O ( 16 -- 24 mmHg or 2.1 -- 3.2 kPa ) with the patient sitting up . In newborns , CSF pressure ranges from 8 to 10 cmH O ( 4.4 -- 7.3 mmHg or 0.78 -- 0.98 kPa ) . Most variations are due to coughing or internal compression of jugular veins in the neck . When lying down , the CSF pressure as estimated by lumbar puncture is similar to the intracranial pressure . Hydrocephalus is an abnormal accumulation of CSF in the ventricles of the brain . Hydrocephalus can occur because of obstruction of the passage of CSF , such as from an infection , injury , mass , or congenital abnormality . Hydrocephalus without obstruction associated with normal CSF pressure may also occur . Symptoms can include problems with gait and coordination , urinary incontinence , nausea and vomiting , and progressively impaired thinking . In infants , hydrocephalus can cause an enlarged head , as the bones of the skull have not yet fused , seizures , irritability and drowsiness . A CT scan or MRI scan may reveal enlargement of one or both lateral ventricles , or causative masses or lesions , and lumbar puncture may be used to demonstrate and in some circumstances relieve high intracranial pressure . Hydrocephalus is usually treated through the insertion of a shunt , which diverts fluid to another part of the body , such as a ventriculo - peritoneal shunt . Idiopathic intracranial hypertension is a condition of unknown cause characterised by a rise in CSF pressure . It is associated with headaches , double vision , difficulties seeing , and a swollen optic disc . It can occur in association with the use of Vitamin A and tetracycline antibiotics , or without any identifiable cause at all , particularly in younger obese women . Management may include ceasing any known causes , a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor such as acetazolamide , repeated drainage via lumbar puncture , or the insertion of a shunt such as a ventriculoperitoneal shunt . CSF leak ( edit ) CSF can leak from the dura as a result of different causes such as physical trauma or a lumbar puncture , or from no known cause when it is termed a spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid leak . It is usually associated with intracranial hypotension : low CSF pressure . It can cause headaches , made worse by standing , moving and coughing , as the low CSF pressure causes the brain to `` sag '' downwards and put pressure on its lower structures . If a leak is identified , a beta - 2 transferrin test of the leaking fluid , when positive , is highly specific and sensitive for the detection for CSF leakage . Medical imaging such as CT scans and MRI scans can be used to investigate for a presumed CSF leak when no obvious leak is found but low CSF pressure is identified . Caffeine , given either orally or intravenously , often offers symptomatic relief . Treatment of an identified leak may include injection of a person 's blood into the epidural space ( an epidural blood patch ) , spinal surgery , or fibrin glue . Lumbar puncture ( edit ) Vials containing human cerebrospinal fluid . Main article : Lumbar puncture CSF can be tested for the diagnosis of a variety of neurological diseases , usually obtained by a procedure called lumbar puncture . Lumbar puncture is carried out under sterile conditions by inserting a needle into the subarachnoid space , usually between the third and fourth lumbar vertebrae . CSF is extracted through the needle , and tested . About one third of people experience a headache after lumbar puncture , and pain or discomfort at the needle entry site is common . Rarer complications may include bruising , meningitis or ongoing post lumbar - puncture leakage of CSF . Testing often including observing the colour of the fluid , measuring CSF pressure , and counting and identifying white and red blood cells within the fluid ; measuring protein and glucose levels ; and culturing the fluid . The presence of red blood cells and xanthochromia may indicate subarachnoid hemorrhage ; whereas central nervous system infections such as meningitis , may be indicated by elevated white blood cell levels . A CSF culture may yield the microorganism that has caused the infection , or PCR may be used to identify a viral cause . Investigations to the total type and nature of proteins reveal point to specific diseases , including multiple sclerosis , paraneoplastic syndromes , systemic lupus erythematosus , neurosarcoidosis , cerebral angiitis ; and specific antibodies such as Aquaporin 4 may be tested for to assist in the diagnosis of autoimmune conditions . A lumbar puncture that drains CSF may also be used as part of treatment for some conditions , including idiopathic intracranial hypertension and normal pressure hydrocephalus . Lumbar puncture can also be performed to measure the intracranial pressure , which might be increased in certain types of hydrocephalus . However , a lumbar puncture should never be performed if increased intracranial pressure is suspected due to certain situations such as a tumour , because it can lead to fatal brain herniation . Anaesthesia. and chemotherapy ( edit ) See also : Blood -- cerebrospinal fluid barrier Some anaesthetics and chemotherapy are injected intrathecally into the subarachnoid space , where they spread around CSF , meaning substances that can not cross the blood - brain barrier can still be active throughout the central nervous system . Baricity refers to the density of a substance compared to the density of human cerebrospinal fluid and is used in general anesthesia to determine the manner in which a particular drug will spread in the intrathecal space . History ( edit ) Various comments by ancient physicians have been read as referring to CSF . Hippocrates discussed `` water '' surrounding the brain when describing congenital hydrocephalus , and Galen referred to `` excremental liquid '' in the ventricles of the brain , which he believed was purged into the nose . But for some 16 intervening centuries of ongoing anatomical study , CSF remained unmentioned in the literature . This is perhaps because of the prevailing autopsy technique , which involved cutting off the head , thereby removing evidence of CSF before the brain was examined . The modern rediscovery of CSF is now credited to Emanuel Swedenborg . In a manuscript written between 1741 and 1744 , unpublished in his lifetime , Swedenborg referred to CSF as `` spirituous lymph '' secreted from the roof of the fourth ventricle down to the medulla oblongata and spinal cord . This manuscript was eventually published in translation in 1887 . Albrecht von Haller , a Swiss physician and physiologist , made note in his 1747 book on physiology that the `` water '' in the brain was secreted into the ventricles and absorbed in the veins , and when secreted in excess , could lead to hydrocephalus . Francois Magendie studied the properties of CSF by vivisection . He discovered the foramen Magendie , the opening in the roof of the fourth ventricle , but mistakenly believed that CSF was secreted by the pia mater . Thomas Willis ( noted as the discoverer of the circle of Willis ) made note of the fact that the consistency of CSF is altered in meningitis . In 1869 Gustav Schwalbe proposed that CSF drainage could occur via lymphatic vessels . In 1891 , W. Essex Wynter began treating tubercular meningitis by tapping the subarachnoid space , and Heinrich Quincke began to popularize lumbar puncture , which he advocated for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes . In 1912 , a neurologist William Mestrezat gave the first accurate description of the chemical composition of CSF . In 1914 , Harvey W. Cushing published conclusive evidence that CSF is secreted by the choroid plexus . Other animals ( edit ) During phylogenesis , CSF is present within the neuraxis before it circulates . The CSF of Teleostei fish is contained within the ventricles of the brains , but not in a nonexistent subarachnoid space . In mammals , where a subarachnoid space is present , CSF is present in it . Absorption of CSF is seen in amniotes and more complex species , and as species become progressively more complex , the system of absorption becomes progressively more enhanced , and the role of spinal epidural veins in absorption plays a progressively smaller and smaller role . The amount of cerebrospinal fluid varies by size and species . In humans and other mammals , cerebrospinal fluid , produced , circulating , and reabsorbed in a similar manner to humans , and with a similar function , turns over at a rate of 3 -- 5 times a day . Problems with CSF circulation leading to hydrocephalus occur in other animals .

[ "Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear, colorless body fluid found in the brain and spinal cord. It is produced by the specialised ependymal cells in the choroid plexuses of the ventricles of the brain, and absorbed in the arachnoid granulations. There is about 125mL of CSF at any one time, and about 500mL is generated every day. CSF acts as a cushion or buffer for the brain, providing basic mechanical and immunological protection to the brain inside the skull. CSF also serves a vital function in cerebral autoregulation of cerebral blood flow.\n" ]

Jonah - wikipedia Jonah Jump to : navigation , search For other uses , see Jonah ( disambiguation ) . Jonah Jonah , as depicted by Michelangelo on the Sistine Chapel ceiling Prophet 9th century BCE 8th century BCE Venerated in Judaism Islam Christianity Major shrine Tomb of Jonah ( destroyed ) , Mosul , Iraq Feast September 21 ( Roman Catholicism ) Jonah or Jonas is the name given in the Hebrew Bible ( Tanakh / Old Testament ) to a prophet of the northern kingdom of Israel in about the 8th century BCE . He is the eponymous central figure of the Book of Jonah , in which he is called upon by God to travel to Nineveh and warn its residents to repent of their sins or face divine wrath . Instead , Jonah boards a ship to Tarshish . Caught in a storm , he orders the ship 's crew to cast him overboard , whereupon he is swallowed by a giant fish . Three days later , after Jonah agrees to go to Nineveh , the fish vomits him out onto the shore . Jonah successfully convinces the entire city of Nineveh to repent , but waits outside the city in expectation of its destruction . God shields Jonah from the sun with a plant , but later sends a worm to cause it to wither . When Jonah complains of the bitter heat , God rebukes him . In Judaism , the story of Jonah represents the teaching of teshuva , which is the ability to repent and be forgiven by God . In the New Testament , Jesus calls himself `` greater than Jonah '' and promises the Pharisees `` the sign of Jonah '' , which is his resurrection . Early Christian interpreters viewed Jonah as a type for Jesus . Later , during the Reformation , Jonah came to be seen instead as an archetype for the `` envious Jew '' . Jonah is regarded as a prophet in Islam and the biblical narrative of Jonah is repeated , with a few notable differences , in the Quran . Mainstream Bible scholars generally regard the Book of Jonah as fictional and often at least partially satirical , but the character of Jonah may have been based on a historical prophet . Although the word `` whale '' is often used in English versions of the Jonah story , the Hebrew text actually uses the phrase dag gadol , which means `` giant fish '' . In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries , the species of the fish that swallowed Jonah was the subject of speculation for naturalists , who interpreted the story as an account of a historical incident . Some modern scholars of folklore have noted similarities between Jonah and other legendary figures , such as Gilgamesh and the Greek hero Jason .

A huge storm arises and the sailors , realizing that it is no ordinary storm , cast lots and discover that Jonah is to blame . Jonah admits this and states that if he is thrown overboard , the storm will cease . The sailors refuse to do this and continue rowing , but all their efforts fail and they are eventually forced to throw Jonah overboard . As a result , the storm calms and the sailors then offer sacrifices to God . Jonah is miraculously saved by being swallowed by a large fish , in whose belly he spends three days and three nights . While in the great fish , Jonah prays to God in his affliction and commits to thanksgiving and to paying what he has vowed . God then commands the fish to vomit Jonah out . Jonah Preaching to the Ninevites ( 1866 ) by Gustave Doré God again commands Jonah to travel to Nineveh and prophesy to its inhabitants . This time he goes and enters the city , crying , `` In forty days Nineveh shall be overthrown . '' After Jonah has walked across Nineveh , the people of Nineveh begin to believe his word and proclaim a fast . The king of Nineveh puts on sackcloth and sits in ashes , making a proclamation which decrees fasting , the wearing of sackcloth , prayer , and repentance . God sees their repentant hearts and spares the city at that time . The entire city is humbled and broken with the people ( and even the animals ) in sackcloth and ashes . Displeased by this , Jonah refers to his earlier flight to Tarshish while asserting that , since God is merciful , it was inevitable that God would turn from the threatened calamities . He then leaves the city and makes himself a shelter , waiting to see whether or not the city will be destroyed . God causes a plant ( in Hebrew a kikayon ) to grow over Jonah 's shelter to give him some shade from the sun . Later , God causes a worm to bite the plant 's root and it withers . Jonah , now being exposed to the full force of the sun , becomes faint and pleads for God to kill him . And God said to Jonah : `` Art thou greatly angry for the Kikayon ? '' And he said : `` I am greatly angry , even unto death . '' And the LORD said : `` Thou hast had pity on the gourd , for which thou hast not laboured , neither madest it grow , which came up in a night , and perished in a night ; and should not I have pity on Nineveh , that great city , wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that can not discern between their right hand and their left hand , and also much cattle ? '' -- Book of Jonah , chapter 4 , verses 9 - 11 Religious views ( edit ) Illustration of Jonah being swallowed by the fish from the Kennicott Bible , folio 305r ( 1476 ) . In Judaism ( edit ) See also : Jonah in rabbinic literature The Book of Jonah ( Yonah יונה ) is one of the twelve minor prophets included in the Tanakh . According to one tradition , Jonah was the boy brought back to life by Elijah the prophet in 1 Kings 17 . Another tradition holds that he was the son of the woman of Shunem brought back to life by Elisha in 2 Kings 4 and that he is called the `` son of Amittai '' ( Truth ) due to his mother 's recognition of Elisha 's identity as a prophet in 2 Kings 17 : 24 . The Book of Jonah is read every year , in its original Hebrew and in its entirety , on Yom Kippur -- the Day of Atonement , as the Haftarah at the afternoon mincha prayer . According to Rabbi Eliezer , the fish that swallowed Jonah was created in the primordial era and the inside of its mouth was like a synagogue ; the fish 's eyes were like windows and a pearl inside its mouth provided further illumination . According to the Midrash , while Jonah was inside the fish , it told him that its life was nearly over because soon the Leviathan would eat them both . Jonah promised the fish that he would save them . Following Jonah 's directions , the fish swam up alongside the Leviathan and Jonah threatened to leash the Leviathan by its tongue and let the other fish eat it . The Leviathan heard Jonah 's threats , saw that he was circumcized , and realized that he was protected by the Lord , so it fled in terror , leaving Jonah and the fish alive . Teshuva -- the ability to repent and be forgiven by God -- is a prominent idea in Jewish thought . This concept is developed in the Book of Jonah : Jonah , the son of truth ( the name of his father `` Amitai '' in Hebrew means truth ) , refuses to ask the people of Nineveh to repent . He seeks the truth only , and not forgiveness . When forced to go , his call is heard loud and clear . The people of Nineveh repent ecstatically , `` fasting , including the sheep , '' and the Jewish scripts are critical of this . The Book of Jonah also highlights the sometimes unstable relationship between two religious needs : comfort and truth . In christianity ( edit ) In his fresco The Last Judgment , Michelangelo depicted Christ below Jonah ( IONAS ) to qualify the prophet as his precursor . In the Book of Tobit ( edit ) Jonah is mentioned twice in the fourteenth chapter of the deuterocanonical Book of Tobit , the conclusion of which finds Tobit 's son , Tobias , at the extreme age of 127 years , rejoicing at the news of Nineveh 's destruction by Nebuchadnezzar and Ahasuerus in apparent fulfillment of Jonah 's prophecy against the Assyrian capital . In the New Testament ( edit ) In the New Testament , Jonah is mentioned in Matthew 12 : 38 -- 41 and 16 : 4 and in Luke 11 : 29 -- 32 . In the Gospel of Matthew , Jesus makes a reference to Jonah when he is asked for a sign by some of the scribes and the Pharisees . Jesus says that the sign will be the sign of Jonah : Jonah 's restoration after three days inside the great fish prefigures His own resurrection . He answered , `` A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign ! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah . For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish , so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth . The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it ; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah , and now something greater than Jonah is here . '' -- Gospel of Matthew , 12 : 39 -- 41 ( New International Version ) Matthew 12 : 41 - 42 and Luke 11 : 31 -- 32 assert in parallel wording that Jesus is greater than Jonah and greater than Solomon .

His feast day in the Roman Catholic Church is on 21 September , according to the Martyrologium Romanum . In Catholicism , the Book of Jonah is also read aloud in its entirety on Maundy Thursday in a Beneventan chant . On the Eastern Orthodox liturgical calendar , Jonah 's feast day is on 22 September ( for those churches which follow the traditional Julian calendar ; 22 September currently falls in October on the modern Gregorian calendar ) . In the Armenian Apostolic Church , moveable feasts are held in commemoration of Jonah as a single prophet and as one of the Twelve Minor Prophets . Jonah 's mission to the Ninevites is commemorated by the Fast of Nineveh in Syriac and Oriental Orthodox Churches . Jonah is commemorated as a prophet in the Calendar of Saints of the Missouri Synod of the Lutheran Church on 22 September . Christian theologians have traditionally interpreted Jonah as a type for Jesus Christ . Jonah being in swallowed by the giant fish was regarded as a foreshadowing of Jesus 's crucifixion and the fish vomiting Jonah out onto the beach was seen as a parallel for Jesus 's resurrection . Saint Jerome equates Jonah with Jesus 's more nationalistic side , and justifies Jonah 's actions by arguing that `` Jonah acts thus as a patriot , not so much that he hates the Ninevites , as that he does not want to destroy his own people . '' Other Christian interpreters , including Saint Augustine and Martin Luther , have taken a directly opposite approach , regarding Jonah as the epitome of envy and jealousness , which they regarded as inherent characteristics of the Jewish people . Luther likewise concludes that the kikayon represents Judaism , and that the worm which devours it represents Christ . Luther 's antisemitic interpretation of Jonah remained the prevailing interpretation among German Protestants throughout early modern history . J.D. Michaelis comments that `` the meaning of the fable hits you right between the eyes '' , and concludes that the Book of Jonah is a polemic against `` the Israelite people 's hate and envy towards all the other nations of the earth . '' Albert Eichhorn was a strong supporter of Michaelis 's interpretation . John Calvin and John Hooper regarded the Book of Jonah as a warning to all those who might attempt to flee from the wrath of God . While Luther had been careful to maintain that the Book of Jonah was not written by Jonah , Calvin declared that the Book of Jonah was Jonah 's personal confession of guilt . Calvin sees Jonah 's time inside the fish 's belly as equivalent to the fires of Hell , intended to correct Jonah and set him on the path of righteousness . Also unlike Luther , Calvin finds fault with all the characters in the story , describing the sailors on the boat as `` hard and iron - hearted , like Cyclops '' , the penitence of the Ninevites as `` untrained '' , and the king of Nineveh as a `` novice '' . Hooper , on the other hand , sees Jonah as the archetypal dissident and the ship he is cast out from as a symbol of the state . Hooper deplores such dissidents , decrying : `` Can you live quietly with so many Jonasses ? Nay then , throw them into the sea !

Jonah is mentioned four times in the Quran and is the only one of the Twelve Minor Prophets to be mentioned by name . In Surah 68 : 48 , Jonah is called Dhul - Nun ( Arabic : ذو النون ; meaning The One of the Fish ) . In 4 : 163 and 6 : 86 , he is referred to as `` an apostle of Allah '' . Surah 37 : 139 - 148 retells the full story of Jonah : So also was Jonah among those sent ( by Us ) . When he ran away ( like a slave from captivity ) to the ship ( fully ) laden , He ( agreed to ) cast lots , and he was condemned : Then the big Fish did swallow him , and he had done acts worthy of blame . Had it not been that he ( repented and ) glorified Allah , He would certainly have remained inside the Fish till the Day of Resurrection . But We cast him forth on the naked shore in a state of sickness , And We caused to grow , over him , a spreading plant of the gourd kind . And We sent him ( on a mission ) to a hundred thousand ( men ) or more . And they believed ; so We permitted them to enjoy ( their life ) for a while . -- Quran , chapter 37 ( As - Saaffat ) , verses 139 -- 148 The Quran never mentions Jonah 's father , but Muslim tradition teaches that Jonah was from the tribe of Benjamin and that his father was Amittai . In hadith ( edit ) Jonah trying to hide his nakedness in the midst of bushes ; Jeremiah in the wilderness ( top left ) ; Uzeyr awakened after the destruction of Jerusalem . Ottoman Turkish miniature , 16th century . Jonah is also mentioned in a few incidents during the lifetime of Muhammad . In some instances , Jonah 's name is spoken of with praise and reverence by Muhammad . According to historical narrations about Muhammad 's life , after ten years of receiving revelations , Muhammad went to the city of Ta'if to see if its leaders would allow him to preach his message from there rather than Mecca , but he was cast from the city by the people . He took shelter in the garden of Utbah and Shaybah , two members of the Quraysh tribe . They sent their servant , Addas , to serve him grapes for sustenance . Muhammad asked Addas where he was from and the servant replied Nineveh . `` The town of Jonah the just , son of Amittai ! '' Muhammad exclaimed . Addas was shocked because he knew that the pagan Arabs had no knowledge of the prophet Jonah . He then asked how Muhammad knew of this man . `` We are brothers '' Muhammad replied . `` Jonah was a Prophet of God and I , too , am a Prophet of God . '' Addas immediately accepted Islam and kissed the hands and feet of Muhammad . One of the sayings of Muhammad , in the collection of Imam Bukhari , says that Muhammad said `` One should not say that I am better than Jonah '' . A similar statement occurs in a hadith written by Yunus bin Yazid , the second caliph of the Umayyad Dynasty . Umayya ibn Abi al - Salt , an older contemporary of Muhammad , taught that , had Jonah not prayed to Allah , he would have remained trapped inside the fish until Judgement Day , but , because of his prayer , Jonah `` stayed only a few days within the belly of the fish '' . The ninth - century Persian historian Al - Tabari records that , while Jonah was inside the fish , `` none of his bones or members were injured '' . Al - Tabari also writes that Allah made the body of the fish transparent , allowing Jonah to see the `` wonders of the deep '' and that Jonah heard all the fish singing praises to Allah . Kisai Marvazi , a tenth - century poet , records that Jonah 's father was seventy years old when Jonah was born and that he died soon afterwards , leaving Jonah 's mother with nothing but a wooden spoon , which turned out to be a cornucopia . Tomb at Nineveh ( edit ) Photograph of the ruins of the mosque of Yunus , following its destruction by ISIL See also : Mosques and shrines of Mosul § The Mosque of the Prophet Yunus ( Jonah ) Nineveh 's current location is marked by excavations of five gates , parts of walls on four sides , and two large mounds : the hill of Kuyunjik and hill of Nabi Yunus ( see map link in footnote ) . A mosque atop Nabi Yunus was dedicated to the prophet Jonah and contained a shrine , which was revered by both Muslims and Christians as the site of Jonah 's tomb . The tomb was a popular pilgrimage site and a symbol of unity to Jews , Christians , and Muslims across the Middle East . On July 24 , 2014 , the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant ( ISIL ) destroyed the mosque containing the tomb as part of a campaign to destroy religious sanctuaries it deemed to be idolatrous . After Mosul was taken back from ISIL in January 2017 , an ancient Assyrian palace dating to around 600 BCE was discovered beneath the ruined mosque . ISIL had plundered the palace of items to sell on the black market , but some of the artifacts that were more difficult to transport still remained in place . Other reputed locations of Jonah 's tomb include the Arab village of Meshed , located on the ancient site of Gath - hepher , the Palestinian West Bank town of Halhul , 5 km ( 3.1 mi ) north of Hebron , and a sanctuary near the city of Sarafand ( Sarepta ) in Lebanon . Scholarly interpretations ( edit ) Historicity ( edit ) The consensus of mainstream Biblical scholars holds that the contents of the Book of Jonah are entirely ahistorical . Although the prophet Jonah allegedly lived in the eighth century BCE , the Book of Jonah was written centuries later during the time of the Achaemenid Empire . The Hebrew used in the Book of Jonah shows strong influences from Aramaic and the cultural practices described in it match those of the Achaemenid Persians . Many scholars regard the Book of Jonah as an intentional work of parody or satire . If this is the case , then it was probably admitted into the canon of the Hebrew Bible by sages who misunderstood its satirical nature and mistakenly interpreted it as a serious prophetic work . While the Book of Jonah itself is considered fiction , Jonah himself may have been a historical prophet ; he is briefly mentioned in the Second Book of Kings : He restored the border of Israel from the entrance of Hamath unto the sea of the Arabah , according to the word of the LORD , the God of Israel , which He spoke by the hand of His servant Jonah the son of Amittai , the prophet , who was of Gath - hepher . -- 2 Kings 14 : 25 , JPS ( 1917 ) Most scholars believe that the anonymous author of the Book of Jonah may have seized upon this obscure prophet from 2 Kings and used him as the basis for the fictional character of Jonah , but some have contended that the figure of Jonah himself is entirely legendary . Nonetheless , some conservative scholars argue that the Book of Jonah is based on historical events . Parodic elements ( edit ) Modern restoration of the Adad gate at Nineveh in a photograph taken prior to the gate 's total destruction by ISIL in April 2016 . The Book of Jonah exaggerates the size of Nineveh far beyond what it actually was historically . The views expressed by Jonah in the Book of Jonah are a parody of views held by members of Jewish society at the time when it was written . The primary target of the satire may have been a faction whom Morton Smith calls `` Separationists '' , who believed that God would destroy those who disobeyed him , that sinful cities would be obliterated , and that God 's mercy did not extend to those outside the Abrahamic covenant . McKenzie and Graham remark that `` Jonah is in some ways the most ' orthodox ' of Israelite theologians -- to make a theological point . '' Jonah 's statements throughout the book are characterized by their militancy , but his name ironically means `` dove '' , a bird which the ancient Israelites associated with peace . Jonah 's rejection of God 's commands is a parody of the obedience of the prophets described in other Old Testament writings . The king of Nineveh 's instant repentance parodies the rulers throughout the other writings of the Old Testament who disregard prophetic warnings , such as Ahab and Zedekiah . The readiness to worship God displayed by the sailors on the ship and the people of Nineveh contrasts ironically with Jonah 's own reluctance , as does Jonah 's greater love for kikayon providing him shade than for all the people in Nineveh . The Book of Jonah also employs elements of literary absurdism ; it exaggerates the size of the city of Nineveh to an implausible degree and incorrectly refers to the administrator of the city as a `` king '' . According to scholars , no human being could realistically survive for three days inside a fish , and the description of the livestock in Nineveh fasting alongside their owners is `` silly '' . The motif of a protagonist being swallowed by a giant fish or whale became a stock trope of later satirical writings . Similar incidents are recounted in Lucian of Samosata 's A True Story , which was written in the second century CE , and in the novel Baron Munchausen 's Narrative of his Marvellous Travels and Campaigns in Russia , published by Rudolf Erich Raspe in 1785 . The story of a man surviving after being swallowed by a whale or giant fish is classified as ATU 1889G . The fish ( edit ) Translation ( edit ) Depiction of Jonah and the `` great fish '' on the south doorway of the Gothic - era Dom St. Peter , in Worms , Germany Though it is often called a whale today , the Hebrew , as throughout scripture , refers to no species in particular , simply saying `` great fish '' or `` big fish '' ( whales are today classified as mammals and not fish , but no such distinction was made in antiquity ) . While some biblical scholars suggest the size and habits of the great white shark correspond better to the representations given of Jonah 's being swallowed , normally an adult human is too large to be swallowed whole . The development of whaling from the 18th century onwards made it clear that most or all species of whale were incapable of swallowing a man , leading to much controversy about the veracity of the biblical story of Jonah . In Jonah 2 : 1 ( 1 : 17 in English translations ) , the Hebrew text reads dag gadol ( דג גדול ) or , in the Hebrew Masoretic Text , dāḡ gā ḏō wl ( דָּ֣ג גָּד֔וֹל ) , which means `` great fish . '' The Septuagint translates this phrase into Greek as kētei megalōi ( κήτει μεγάλῳ ) , meaning `` huge fish '' . In Greek mythology , the same word meaning `` fish '' ( kêtos ) is used to describe the sea monster slain by the hero Perseus that nearly devoured the Princess Andromeda . Jerome later translated this phrase as piscem grandem in his Latin Vulgate . He translated kétos , however , as ventre ceti in Matthew 12 : 40 : this second case occurs only in this verse of the New Testament . At some point cetus became synonymous with `` whale '' ( the study of whales is now called cetology ) . In his 1534 translation , William Tyndale translated the phrase in Jonah 2 : 1 as `` greate fyshe '' and the word kétos ( Greek ) or cetus ( Latin ) in Matthew 12 : 40 as `` whale '' . Tyndale 's translation was later incorporated into the Authorized Version of 1611 . Since then , the `` great fish '' in Jonah 2 has been most often interpreted as a whale . In English some translations use the word `` whale '' for Matthew 12 : 40 , while others use `` sea creature '' or `` big fish '' . Scientific speculation ( edit ) Photograph of a whale shark , the largest known species of fish Depiction of Jonah in a champlevé enamel ( 1181 ) by Nicholas of Verdun in the Verduner altar at Klosterneuburg abbey , Austria . In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries , naturalists , interpreting the Jonah story as a historical account , became obsessed with trying to identify the exact species of the fish that swallowed Jonah . In the late nineteenth century , Edward Bouverie Pusey , a professor at Oxford University , claimed that the Book of Jonah must have been authored by Jonah himself and argued that the fish story must be historically true , or else it would not have been included in the Bible . Pusey attempted to scientifically catalogue the fish , hoping to `` shame those who speak of the miracle of Jonah 's preservation in the fish as a thing less credible than any of God 's other miraculous doings '' . The debate over the fish in the Book of Jonah played a major role during Clarence Darrow 's cross-examination of William Jennings Bryan at the Scopes Trial in 1925 . Darrow asked Bryan `` When you read that ... the whale swallowed Jonah ... how do you literally interpret that ? '' Bryan replied that `` a God who can make a whale and can make a man and make both of them do what He pleases . '' Bryan ultimately admitted that it was necessary to interpret the Bible , and is generally regarded as having come off looking like a `` buffoon '' . The largest whales -- baleen whales , a group which includes the blue whale -- eat plankton and `` it is commonly said that this species would be choked if it attempted to swallow a herring . '' As for the whale shark , Dr. E.W. Gudger , an Honorary Associate in Ichthyology at the American Museum of Natural History , notes that , while the whale shark does have a large mouth , its throat is only four inches wide , with a sharp elbow or bend behind the opening , meaning that not even a human arm would be able to pass through it . He concludes that `` the whale shark is not the fish that swallowed Jonah . '' Cultural influence ( edit ) In Turkish , `` Jonah fish '' ( in Turkish yunus baligi ) is the term used for dolphins . A long - established expression among sailors uses the term , `` a Jonah '' , to mean a sailor or a passenger whose presence on board brings bad luck and endangers the ship . Later , this meaning was extended to mean , `` a person who carries a jinx , one who will bring bad luck to any enterprise . '' Despite its brevity , the Book of Jonah has been adapted numerous times in literature and in popular culture . In Herman Melville 's Moby - Dick ( 1851 ) , Father Mapple delivers a sermon on the Book of Jonah . Mapple asks why Jonah does not show remorse for disobeying God while he is inside of the fish . He comes to the conclusion that Jonah admirably understands that `` his dreadful punishment is just . '' Carlo Collodi 's The Adventures of Pinocchio ( 1883 ) features the title character and his father Geppetto being swallowing by a whale , an allusion to the story of Jonah . Walt Disney 's 1940 film adaptation of the novel retains this allusion . The story of Jonah was adapted into Phil Vischer and Mike Nawrocki 's animated film Jonah : A VeggieTales Movie ( 2002 ) . In the film , Jonah is swallowed by a gargantuan whale . The film was Big Idea Entertainment 's first full - length theatrical release and , on its first weekend , it earned approximately $6.5 million . Suggested connections to legends ( edit ) Jonah being swallowed by a great toothed sea - monster . Sculpted column capital from the nave of the abbey - church in Mozac , 12th century . Joseph Campbell suggests that the story of Jonah parallels a scene from the Epic of Gilgamesh , in which Gilgamesh obtains a plant from the bottom of the sea . In the Book of Jonah , a worm ( in Hebrew tola'ath , `` maggot '' ) bites the shade - giving plant 's root causing it to wither ; whereas in the Epic of Gilgamesh , Gilgamesh ties stones to his feet and plucks his plant from the floor of the sea . Once he returns to the shore , the rejuvenating plant is eaten by a serpent . Campbell also noted several similarities between the story of Jonah and that of Jason in Greek mythology . The Greek rendering of the name Jonah is Jonas , which differs from Jason only in the order of sounds -- both os are omegas suggesting that Jason may have been confused with Jonah . Gildas Hamel , drawing on the Book of Jonah and Greco - Roman sources -- including Greek vases and the accounts of Apollonius of Rhodes , Gaius Valerius Flaccus and Orphic Argonautica -- identifies a number of shared motifs , including the names of the heroes , the presence of a dove , the idea of `` fleeing '' like the wind and causing a storm , the attitude of the sailors , the presence of a sea - monster or dragon threatening the hero or swallowing him , and the form and the word used for the `` gourd '' ( kikayon ) . Hamel takes the view that it was the Hebrew author who reacted to and adapted this mythological material to communicate his own , quite different message .

who got swallowed by a fish in the bible
[ "Jonah or Jonas[a] is the name given in the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh/Old Testament) to a prophet of the northern kingdom of Israel in about the 8th century BCE. He is the eponymous central figure of the Book of Jonah, in which he is called upon by God to travel to Nineveh and warn its residents to repent of their sins or face divine wrath. Instead, Jonah boards a ship to Tarshish. Caught in a storm, he orders the ship's crew to cast him overboard, whereupon he is swallowed by a giant fish. Three days later, after Jonah agrees to go to Nineveh, the fish vomits him out onto the shore. Jonah successfully convinces the entire city of Nineveh to repent, but waits outside the city in expectation of its destruction. God shields Jonah from the sun with a plant, but later sends a worm to cause it to wither. When Jonah complains of the bitter heat, God rebukes him." ]

Today , tithes are normally voluntary and paid in cash , cheques , or stocks , whereas historically tithes were required and paid in kind , such as agricultural products . Several European countries operate a formal process linked to the tax system allowing some churches to assess tithes . Traditional Jewish law and practice has included various forms of tithing since ancient times . Orthodox Jews commonly practice ma'aser kesafim ( tithing 10 % of their income to charity ) . In modern Israel , Jews continue to follow the laws of agricultural tithing , e.g. , ma'aser rishon , terumat ma'aser , and ma'aser sheni . With respect to Christianity , Jesus Christ taught the Jews that `` tithing must be done in conjunction with a deep concern for justice , mercy and faithfulness ( Matthew 23 : 23 ) '' . Tithing was taught at early Christian ecumenical councils , including the Council of Tours in 567 , as well as the Synod of Mâcon in 585 , and remains an important doctrine in many Christian denominations , such as the Congregationalist Churches and Methodist Churches .

William W. Hallo ( 1996 ) recognises comparisons for Israel with its ancient Near Eastern environment , however , as regards tithes , comparisons with other ancient Near Eastern evidence is ambiguous , and Ancient Near Eastern literature provides scant evidence for the practice of tithing and the collection of tithes .

Patriarchs ( edit ) In Genesis 14 : 18 -- 20 , Abraham , after rescuing Lot , met with Melchizedek . After Melchizedek 's blessing , Abraham gave him a tenth of everything he has obtained from battle : `` Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine . He was priest of God Most High , and he blessed Abram , saying , `` Blessed be Abram by God Most High , Creator of heaven and earth . And praise be to God Most High , who delivered your enemies into your hand . '' Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything . '' -- Genesis 14 : 18 -- 20 In Genesis 28 : 12 -- 22 , Jacob , after his visionary dream of Jacob 's Ladder and receiving a blessing from God , promises God a tenth : `` Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said , `` Surely the Lord is in this place , and I did not know it . '' And he was afraid and said , `` How awesome is this place ! This is none other than the house of God , and this is the gate of heaven . '' So early in the morning Jacob took the stone that he had put under his head and set it up for a pillar and poured oil on the top of it . He called the name of that place Bethel , but the name of the city was Luz at the first . Then Jacob made a vow , saying , `` If God will be with me and will keep me in this way that I go , and will give me bread to eat and clothing to wear , so that I come again to my father 's house in peace , then the Lord shall be my God , and this stone , which I have set up for a pillar , shall be God 's house . And of all that you give me I will give a full tenth to you . '' -- Genesis 28 : 12 -- 22 Mosaic law ( edit ) Main article : Tithes in Judaism Tithing in the Temple by Pierre Monier The tithe is specifically mentioned in the Books of Leviticus , Numbers and Deuteronomy . The tithe system was organized in a three - year cycle , corresponding to the Shemittah - cycle . These tithes were in reality more like taxes for the people of Israel and were mandatory , not optional giving . This tithe was distributed locally `` within thy gates '' ( Deuteronomy 14 : 28 ) to support the Levites and assist the poor . Every year , Bikkurim , Terumah , Ma'aser Rishon and Terumat Ma'aser were separated from the grain , wine and oil ( Deuteronomy 14 : 22 ) . ( As regards other fruit and produce , the Biblical requirement to tithe is a source of debate . ) The first tithe is giving of one tenth of agricultural produce ( after the giving of the standard terumah ) to the Levite ( or Aaronic priests ) . Historically , during the First Temple period , the first tithe was given to the Levites . Approximately at the beginning of the Second Temple construction , Ezra and his Beth din implemented its giving to the kohanim . Unlike other offerings which were restricted to consumption within the tabernacle , the second tithe could be consumed anywhere . On years one , two , four and five of the Shemittah - cycle , God commanded the Children of Israel to take a second tithe that was to be brought to the place of the Temple ( Deuteronomy 14 : 23 ) . The owner of the produce was to separate and bring 1 / 10 of his finished produce to the Old City of Jerusalem after separating Terumah and the first tithe , but if the family lived too far from Jerusalem , the tithe could be redeemed upon coins ( Deuteronomy 14 : 24 -- 25 ) . Then , the Bible required the owner of the redeemed coins to spend the tithe `` to buy whatever you like : cattle , sheep , wine or other fermented drink , or anything you wish '' ( Deuteronomy 14 : 26 ) . Implicit in the commandment was an obligation to spend the coins on items meant for human consumption . In years three and six of the Shemittah - cycle the Israelites set aside the ( second ) tithe instead as the poor tithe , and it was given to the strangers , orphans , and widows . The Levites , also known as the Tribe of Levi , were descendants of Levi . They were assistants to the Aaronic priests ( who were the children of Aaron and , therefore , a subset of the Tribe of Levi ) and did not own or inherit a territorial patrimony ( Numbers 18 : 21 - 28 ) . Their function in society was that of temple functionaries , teachers and trusted civil servants who supervised the weights and scales and witnessed agreements . The goods donated from the other Israeli tribes were their source of sustenance . They received from `` all Israel '' a tithe of food or livestock for support , and in turn would set aside a tenth portion of that tithe ( known as the Terumat hamaaser ) for the Aaronic priests . An additional tithe mentioned in the Book of Leviticus ( 27 : 32 -- 33 ) is the cattle tithe , which is to be sacrificed as a korban at the Temple in Jerusalem . United kingdom of Israel ( edit ) Further information : Kingdom of Israel ( united monarchy ) LMLK seals may represent the oldest archaeological evidence of tithing . About 10 percent of the storage jars manufactured during Hezekiah 's reign ( circa 700 BC ) were stamped ( Grena , 2004 , pp. 376 -- 78 ) . See 2 Chronicles 29 -- 31 for a record of this early worship reformation . The Book of Nehemiah also talks about the collection of tithes to Leviim and distribution of Terumah to the priests : Nehemiah 13 : 5 . People were actually appointed to collect mandatory tithes and place them in specially designated chambers which eventually came to be known as storehouses : Nehemiah 12 : 44 . Minor prophets ( edit ) Further information : Minor Prophets The Book of Malachi has one of the most quoted Biblical passages about tithing , directed to the sons of Jacob : For I , Jehovah , change not ; therefore ye , O sons of Jacob , are not consumed . From the days of your fathers ye have turned aside from mine ordinances , and have not kept them . Return unto me , and I will return unto you , saith Jehovah of hosts . But ye say , Wherein shall we return ? `` Will man rob God ? Yet you are robbing me . But you say , ' How have we robbed you ? ' In your tithes and contributions . You are cursed with a curse , for you are robbing me , the whole nation of you . Bring the full tithe into the storehouse , that there may be food in my house . And thereby put me to the test , says the Lord of hosts , if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need . I will rebuke the devourer for you , so that it will not destroy the fruits of your soil , and your vine in the field shall not fail to bear , says the Lord of hosts . Then all nations will call you blessed , for you will be a land of delight , says the Lord of hosts . '' -- Malachi 3 : 6 -- 12 Deuterocanonical ( edit ) Further information : Deuterocanonical books and Biblical apocrypha The deuterocanonical Book of Tobit provides an example of all three classes of tithes practiced during the Babylonian captivity : `` I would often go by myself to Jerusalem on religious holidays , as the Law commanded for every Israelite for all time . I would hurry off to Jerusalem and take with me the early produce of my crops , a tenth of my flocks , and the first portion of the wool cut from my sheep . I would present these things at the altar to the priests , the descendants of Aaron . I would give the first tenth of my grain , wine , olive oil , pomegranates , figs , and other fruit to the Levites who served in Jerusalem . For six out of seven years , I also brought the cash equivalent of the second tenth of these crops to Jerusalem where I would spend it every year . I gave this to orphans and widows , and to Gentiles who had joined Israel . In the third year , when I brought and gave it to them , we would eat together according to the instruction recorded in Moses ' Law , as Deborah my grandmother had taught me ... '' -- Tobit 1 : 6 - 8 Judaism ( edit ) Main article : Tithes in Judaism Orthodox Jews continue to follow the laws of Terumah and Ma'aser as well as the custom of tithing 10 % of one 's earnings to charity ( ma'aser kesafim ) . Due to doubts concerning the status of persons claiming to be Kohanim or Levi'im arising after severe Roman / Christian persecutions and exile , the Hebrew Bible tithe of 10 % for the Levites , and `` tithe of the tithe '' ( Numbers 18 : 26 ) of 10 % of 10 % ( 1 % ) for the priests are dealt with in accordance with Jewish Law . The Mishnah and Talmud contain analysis of the first tithe , second tithe and poor tithe . Animals are not tithed in the present era when the Temple is not standing . Christianity ( edit ) Further information : Stewardship ( theology ) A collection bag used in the Lutheran Church of Sweden to collect a portion of ones ' tithes during the offertory Jesus Christ taught that `` tithing must be done in conjunction with a deep concern for justice , mercy and faithfulness ( Matthew 23 : 23 ) '' . Many of the ancient and historic Christian Churches , such as the Catholic Church and the Methodist Churches , practice tithing , as it was taught by the Council of Tours in A.D. 567 , and in the Council of Macon in A.D. 581 , a penalty of excommunication was prescribed for those who did not adhere to this ecclesiastical law . Tithes can be given to the Church at once ( as is the custom in many Christian countries with a Church tax ) , or distributed throughout the year ; during the part of Western Christian liturgies known as the offertory , people often place a portion of their tithes ( sometimes along with additional offerings ) in the collection plate . 2 Corinthians 9 : 7 talks about giving cheerfully , 2 Corinthians 8 : 12 encourages giving what you can afford , 1 Corinthians 16 : 1 -- 2 discusses giving weekly ( although this is a saved amount for Jerusalem ) , 1 Timothy 5 : 17 -- 18 exhorts supporting the financial needs of Christian workers , Acts 11 : 29 promotes feeding the hungry wherever they may be and James 1 : 27 states that pure religion is to help widows and orphans . Denominational positions ( edit ) Adventist churches ( edit ) The Seventh - day Adventist Church teaches in its Fundamental Beliefs that `` We acknowledge God 's ownership by faithful service to Him and our fellow men , and by returning tithes and giving offerings for the proclamation of His gospel and the support of His Church . '' Anabaptist churches ( edit ) The Mennonite Church teaches that `` tithing as a minimum baseline is one of the principles on which financial giving in this ' first fruits ' system is based '' : We depend on God 's gracious gifts for food and clothing , for our salvation , and for life itself . We do not need to hold on tightly to money and possessions , but can share what God has given us . The practice of mutual aid is a part of sharing God 's gifts so that no one in the family of faith will be without the necessities of life . Whether through community of goods or other forms of financial sharing , mutual aid continues the practice of Israel in giving special care to widows , orphans , aliens , and others in economic need ( Deut. 24 : 17 - 22 ) . Tithes and firstfruit offerings were also a part of this economic sharing ( Deut. 26 ; compare Matt . 23 : 23 ) . Baptist churches ( edit ) The National Baptist Convention of America teaches that `` Baptists believe that a proper sense of stewardship begins with the ' tithe ' ; a presentation of which belongs to Him . ' The tithe is the Lord 's . ' We have not given as a result of presenting the tithe . Our giving begins with the offering ( after we have tithed ) . '' Catholic Church ( edit ) One of the Commandments of the Church is to `` to pay tithes to their pastors . '' The Council of Trent , which was held after the Reformation , taught that `` tithes are due to God or to religion , and that it is sacrilegious to withold them . '' Church of Jesus Christ of Latter - day Saints ( edit ) Main article : Tithing ( Latter Day Saints ) The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter - day Saints ( LDS Church ) bases its tithing on the following additional scriptures : And this shall be the beginning of the tithing of my people . And after that , those who have thus been tithed shall pay one - tenth of all their interest annually ; and this shall be a standing law unto them forever , for my holy priesthood , saith the Lord . -- Doctrine and Covenants 119 : 3 -- 4 ( see also Doctrine and Covenants 64 : 23 -- 24 ) And it was this same Melchizedek to whom Abraham paid tithes ; yea , even our father Abraham paid tithes of one - tenth part of all he possessed . -- Alma 13 : 15 Tithing is currently defined by the church as payment to the church of one - tenth of one 's annual income . Many LDS leaders have made statements in support of tithing . Every Latter - day Saint receives an opportunity once a year to meet with their bishop about their tithing settlement . The payment of tithes is mandatory for members to receive the priesthood or obtain admission to temples . None of the funds collected from tithing is paid to church officials . The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter - day Saints is a Lay Ministry . The money that is given is used to build and maintain church buildings as well as to further the work of the church . Brigham Young University , a practically all - LDS school , also receives `` a significant portion '' of its maintenance and operational costs from LDS tithes . Lutheran churches ( edit ) The Lutheran Church -- Missouri Synod teaches that `` Encourage ( s ) cheerful , first - fruit , proportionate ( including but not limited to tithing ) living and giving in all areas of life by Christian stewards '' . Methodist churches ( edit ) The Book of Discipline states that it is the responsibility of ecclesiastics to `` educate the local church that tithing is the minimum goal of giving in The United Methodist Church . '' The Church of the Nazarene teaches to pay a tithe , although not necessarily the one - tenth under Old Testament law . People pay according to their ability . Moravian Church ( edit ) The Moravian Church encourages its members to `` financially support the ministry of the Church toward the goal of tithing . '' It `` deem ( s ) it a sacred responsibility and genuine opportunity to be faithful stewards of all God has entrusted to us : our time , our talents , ( and ) our financial resources '' . Orthodox churches ( edit ) Tithing in medieval Eastern Christianity did not spread so widely as in the West . A Constitution of the Emperors Leo I ( reigned 457 -- 474 ) and Anthemius ( reigned 467 -- 472 ) apparently expected believers to make voluntary payments and forbade compulsion . The Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America teaches `` proportionate giving and tithing as normal practices of Christian giving . '' Pentecostal churches ( edit ) The Pentecostal Church of God teaches that `` We recognize the scriptural duty of all our people , as well as ministers , to pay tithes as unto the Lord . Tithes should be used for the support of active ministry and for the propagation of the Gospel and the work of the Lord in general . '' The International Pentecostal Holiness Church likewise instructs the faithful that : Our commitment to Jesus Christ includes stewardship . According to the Bible everything belongs to God . We are stewards of His resources . Our stewardship of possessions begins with the tithe . All our members are expected to return a tenth of all their income to the Lord . Reformed churches ( edit ) The Book of Order of the Presbyterian Church ( USA ) states , with respect to the obligation to tithe : `` Giving has always been a mark of Christian commitment and discipleship . The ways in which a believer uses God 's gifts of material goods , personal abilities , and time should reflect a faithful response to God 's self - giving in Jesus Christ and Christ 's call to minister to and share with others in the world . Tithing is a primary expression of the Christian discipline of stewardship . '' The United Church of Christ , a denomination in the Congregationalist tradition , teaches that : When we tithe we place God as our first priority . We trust in God 's abundance instead of worrying about not having enough . Tithing churches live out a vision of abundance rather than a mentality of scarcity . Church collection of religious offerings and taxes ( edit ) England and wales ( edit ) The right to receive tithes was granted to the English churches by King Ethelwulf in 855 . The Saladin tithe was a royal tax , but assessed using ecclesiastical boundaries , in 1188 . The legal validity of the tithe system was affirmed under the Statute of Westminster of 1285 . The Dissolution of the Monasteries led to the transfer of many rights to tithe to secular landowners and the Crown -- and tithes could be extinguished until 1577 under an Act of the 37th year of Henry VIII 's reign . Adam Smith criticized the system in The Wealth of Nations ( 1776 ) , arguing that a fixed rent would encourage peasants to farm more efficiently . See below for a fuller description and history , until the reforms of the 19th century , written by Sir William Blackstone and edited by other learned lawyers of the period . Public notice demanding payment due on Tithes , 1837 The system gradually ended with the Tithe Commutation Act 1836 , whose long - lasting Tithe Commission replaced them with a commutation payment , land award and / or rentcharges to those paying the commutation payment and took the opportunity to map out ( apportion ) residual chancel liability where the rectory had been appropriated during the medieval period by a religious house or college . Its records give a snapshot of land ownership in most parishes , the Tithe Files , are a socio - economic history resource . The rolled - up payment of several years ' tithe would be divided between the tithe - owners as at the date of their extinction . This commutation reduced problems to the ultimate payers by effectively folding tithes in with rents however , it could cause transitional money supply problems by raising the transaction demand for money . Later the decline of large landowners led tenants to become freeholders and again have to pay directly ; this also led to renewed objections of principle by non-Anglicans . It also kept intact a system of chancel repair liability affecting the minority of parishes where the rectory had been lay - appropriated . The precise land affected in such places hinged on the content of documents such as the content of deeds of merger and apportionment maps . Tithe redemption ( edit ) Rentcharges in lieu of abolished tithe paid by landowners were converted by a public outlay of money under the Tithe Act 1936 into annuities paid to the state through the Tithe Redemption Commission . Such payments were transferred in 1960 to the Board of Inland Revenue , and those remaining were terminated by the Finance Act 1977 . The Tithe Act 1951 established the compulsory redemption of English tithes by landowners where the annual amounts payable were less than £ 1 so abolishing the bureaucracy and costs of collecting small sums of money .

( May 2012 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Knights Templar tithe barn ( la grange aux dîmes ) with red roof , Coulommiers , Seine - et - Marne , France . In France , the tithes -- called `` la dîme '' -- were a land tax . Originally a voluntary tax , the `` dîme '' became mandatory in 1585 . In principle , unlike the taille , the `` dîme '' was levied on both noble and non-noble lands . The dîme was divided into a number of types , including the `` grosses dîmes '' ( grains , wine , hay ) , `` menues '' or `` vertes dîmes '' ( vegetables , poultry ) , `` dîmes de charnage '' ( veal , lamb , pork ) . Although the term `` dîme '' comes from the Latin decima ( pars ) ( `` one tenth '' , with the same origin as that of the U.S. coin , the dime ) , the `` dîme '' rarely reached this percentage and ( on the whole ) it was closer to 1 / 13th of the agricultural production . The `` dîme '' was originally meant to support the local parish , but by the 16th century many `` dîmes '' went directly to distant abbeys , monasteries , and bishops , leaving the local parish impoverished , and this contributed to general resentment . In the Middle Ages , some monasteries also offered the `` dîme '' in homage to local lords in exchange for their protection ( see Feudalism ) ( these are called `` dîmes inféodées '' ) , but this practice was forbidden by the Lateran Council of 1179 . All religious taxes were constitutionally abolished in 1790 , in the wake of the French Revolution . Greece ( edit ) There has never been a separate church tax or mandatory tithe on Greek citizens . The state pays the salaries of the clergy of the established Church of Greece , in return for use of real estate , mainly forestry , owned by the church . The remainder of church income comes from voluntary , tax - deductible donations from the faithful . These are handled by each diocese independently . Ireland ( edit ) This section does not cite any sources . Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( May 2012 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) From the English Reformation in the 16th century , most Irish people chose to remain Roman Catholic and had by now to pay tithes valued at about 10 % of an area 's agricultural produce , to maintain and fund the established state church , the Anglican Church of Ireland , to which only a small minority of the population converted . Irish Presbyterians and other minorities like the Quakers and Jews were in the same situation . The collection of tithes was resisted in the period 1831 -- 36 , known as the Tithe War . Thereafter , tithes were reduced and added to rents with the passing of the Tithe Commutation Act in 1836 . With the disestablishment of the Church of Ireland by the Irish Church Act 1869 , tithes were abolished . United states ( edit ) While the federal government has never collected a church tax or mandatory tithe on its citizens , states collected a tithe into the early 19th century . The United States and its governmental subdivisions also exempt most churches from payment of income tax ( under Section 501 ( c ) ( 3 ) of the Internal Revenue Code and similar state statutes , which also allows donors to claim the donations as an income tax itemized deduction ) . Also , churches may be permitted exemption from other state and local taxes such as sales and property taxes , either in whole or in part . Clergy , such as ministers and members of religious orders ( who have taken a vow of poverty ) may be exempt from federal self - employment tax on income from ministerial services . Income from non-ministerial services are taxable and churches are required to withhold Federal and state income tax from this non-exempt income . They are also required to withhold employee 's share of Social Security and Medicare taxes under FICA , and pay the employer 's share for the non-exempt income .

( May 2012 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Casa de los Diezmos , Canillas de Aceituno , Málaga , Spain Main article : Diezmo Both the tithe ( diezmo ) , a levy of 10 % on all agricultural production , and `` first fruits '' ( primicias ) , an additional harvest levy , were collected in Spain throughout the medieval and early modern periods for the support of local Catholic parishes . The tithe crossed the Atlantic with the Spanish Empire ; however , the Indians who made up the vast majority of the population in colonial Spanish America were exempted from paying tithes on native crops such as corn and potatoes that they raised for their own subsistence . After some debate , Indians in colonial Spanish America were forced to pay tithes on their production of European agricultural products , including wheat , silk , cows , pigs , and sheep . The tithe was abolished in several Latin American countries , including Mexico , soon after independence from Spain ( which started in 1810 ) . The tithe was abolished in Spain itself in 1841 , and in Argentina in 1826 . Governmental collection of Christian religious offerings and taxes ( edit ) Main article : Church tax Austria ( edit ) In Austria a colloquially called church tax ( Kirchensteuer , officially called Kirchenbeitrag , i.e. church contribution ) has to be paid by members of the Catholic and Protestant Church . It is levied by the churches themselves and not by the government . The obligation to pay church tax can just be evaded by an official declaration to cease church membership . The tax is calculated on the basis of personal income . It amounts to about 1.1 % ( Catholic church ) and 1.5 % ( Protestant church ) . Denmark ( edit ) All members of the Church of Denmark pay a church tax , which varies between municipalities . The tax is generally around 1 % of the taxable income . Finland ( edit ) Members of state churches pay a church tax of between 1 % and 2 % of income , depending on the municipality . In addition , 2.55 % of corporate taxes are distributed to the state churches . Church taxes are integrated into the common national taxation system . Germany ( edit ) Germany levies a church tax , on all persons declaring themselves to be Christians , of roughly 8 -- 9 % of their income tax , which is effectively ( very much depending on the social and financial situation ) typically between 0.2 % and 1.5 % of the total income . The proceeds are shared amongst Catholic , Lutheran , and other Protestant Churches . The church tax ( Kirchensteuer ) actually traces its roots back as far as the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803 . It was reaffirmed in the Concordat of 1933 between Nazi Germany and the Catholic Church . Today its legal basis is article 140 of the Grundgesetz ( the German `` constitution '' ) in connection with article 137 of the Weimar constitution . These laws originally merely allowed the churches themselves to tax their members , but in Nazi Germany , collection of church taxes was transferred to the German government . As a result , both the German government and the employer are notified of the religious affiliation of every taxpayer . This system is still in effect today . Mandatory disclosure of religious affiliation to government agencies or employers constituted a violation of the original European data protection directives but is now permitted after the German government obtained an exemption . Church tax ( Kirchensteuer ) is compulsory in Germany for those confessing members of a particular religious group . It is deducted at the PAYE level . The duty to pay this tax theoretically starts on the day one is christened . Anyone who wants to stop paying it has to declare in writing , at their local court of law ( Amtsgericht ) or registry office , that they are leaving the Church . They are then crossed off the Church registers and can no longer receive the sacraments , confession and certain services ; Roman Catholic church may deny such as person a burial plot . In addition to the government , the taxpayer also must notify his employer of his religious affiliation ( or lack thereof ) in order to ensure proper tax withholding . This opt - out is also used by members of `` free churches '' ( e.g. Baptists ) ( non-affiliated to the scheme ) to stop paying the church tax , from which the free churches do not benefit , in order to support their own church directly . Italy ( edit ) This section does not cite any sources . Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( May 2012 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Originally the Italian government of Benito Mussolini , under the Lateran treaties of 1929 with the Holy See , paid a monthly salary to Catholic clergymen . This salary was called the congrua . The eight per thousand law was created as a result of an agreement , in 1984 , between the Italian Republic and the Holy See . Under this law Italian taxpayers are able to vote how to partition the 0.8 % ( ' eight per thousand ' ) of the total income tax IRPEF levied by Italy among some specific religious confessions or , alternatively , to a social assistance program run by the Italian State . This declaration is made on the IRPEF form . This vote is not compulsory ; the whole amount levied by the IRPEF tax is distributed in proportion to explicit declarations . The last official statement of Italian Ministry of Finance made in respect of the year 2000 singles out seven beneficiaries : the Italian State , the Catholic Church , the Waldenses , the Jewish Communities , the Lutherans , the Seventh - day Adventist Church and the Assemblies of God in Italy . The tax was divided up as follows : 87.17 % Catholic Church 10.35 % Italian State 1.21 % Waldenses 0.46 % Jewish Communities 0.32 % Lutherans 0.28 % Adventists of the Seventh Day 0.21 % Assemblies of God in Italy In 2000 , the Catholic Church raised almost a billion euros , while the Italian State received about € 100 million euros . Scotland ( edit ) Main article : Teind In Scotland teinds were the tenths of certain produce of the land appropriated to the maintenance of the Church and clergy . At the Reformation most of the Church property was acquired by the Crown , nobles and landowners . In 1567 the Privy Council of Scotland provided that a third of the revenues of lands should be applied to paying the clergy of the reformed Church of Scotland . In 1925 the system was recast by statute and provision was made for the standardisation of stipends at a fixed value in money . The Court of Session acted as the Teind Court . Teinds were finally abolished by section 56 of the Abolition of Feudal Tenure etc . ( Scotland ) Act 2000 . Sweden ( edit ) Until the year 2000 , Sweden had a mandatory church tax , to be paid if one did belong to the Church of Sweden , which had been funneling about $500 million annually to the church . Because of change in legislation , the tax was withdrawn in the year 2000 . However , the Swedish government has agreed to continue collecting from individual taxpayers the annual payment that has always gone to the church . But now the tax will be an optional checkoff box on the tax return . The government will allocate the money collected to Catholic , Muslim , Jewish and other faiths as well as the Lutherans , with each taxpayer directing where his or her taxes should go . Switzerland ( edit ) There is no official state church in Switzerland ; however , all the 26 cantons ( states ) financially support at least one of the three traditional denominations -- Roman Catholic , Old Catholic , or Protestant -- with funds collected through taxation . Each canton has its own regulations regarding the relationship between church and state . In some cantons , the church tax ( up to 2.3 % ) is voluntary but in others an individual who chooses not to contribute to church tax may formally have to leave the church . In some cantons private companies are unable to avoid payment of the church tax . Tithes and tithe law in England before reform ( edit ) Excerpts from Sir William Blackstone , Commentaries on the Laws of England : Definition and classification and those liable to pay tithes ( edit ) ... tithes ; which are defined to be the tenth part of the increase , yearly arising and renewing from the profits of lands , the stock upon lands , and the personal industry of the inhabitants : the first species being usually called predial , as of corn , grass , hops , and wood ; the second mixed , as of wool , milk , pigs , &c , consisting of natural products , but nurtured and preserved in part by the care of man ; and of these the tenth must be paid in gross : the third personal , as of manual occupations , trades , fisheries , and the like ; and of these only the tenth part of the clear gains and profits is due . ... in general , tithes are to be paid for every thing that yields an annual increase , as corn , hay , fruit , cattle , poultry , and the like ; but not for any thing that is of the substance of the earth , or is not of annual increase , as stone , lime , chalk , and the like ; nor for creatures that are of a wild nature , or ferae naturae , as deer , hawks , &c , whose increase , so as to profit the owner , is not annual , but casual . History ( edit ) We can not precisely ascertain the time when tithes were first introduced into this country . Possibly they were contemporary with the planting of Christianity among the Saxons , by Augustin the monk , about the end of the fifth century . But the first mention of them , which I have met with in any written English law , is in a constitutional decree , made in a synod held A.D. 786 , wherein the payment of tithes in general is strongly enjoined . This canon , or decree , which at first bound not the laity , was effectually confirmed by two kingdoms of the heptarchy , in their parliamentary conventions of estates , respectively consisting of the kings of Mercia and Northumberland , the bishops , dukes , senators , and people . Which was a few years later than the time that Charlemagne established the payment of them in France , and made that famous division of them into four parts ; one to maintain the edifice of the church , the second to support the poor , the third the bishop , and the fourth the parochial clergy . Beneficiaries ( edit ) And upon their first introduction ( as hath formerly been observed ) , though every man was obliged to pay tithes in general , yet he might give them to what priests he pleased ; which were called arbitrary consecrations of tithes : or he might pay them into the hands of the bishop , who distributed among his diocesan clergy the revenues of the church , which were then in common . But , when dioceses were divided into parishes , the tithes of each parish were allotted to its own particular minister ; first by common consent , or the appointment of lords of manors , and afterwards by the written law of the land. ... it is now universally held , that tithes are due , of common right , to the parson of the parish , unless there be a special exemption . This parson of the parish , we have formerly seen , may be either the actual incumbent , or else the appropriator of the benefice : appropriations being a method of endowing monasteries , which seems to have been devised by the regular clergy , by way of substitution to arbitrary consecrations of tithes . Exemptions ( edit ) We observed that tithes are due to the parson of common right , unless by special exemption : let us therefore see , thirdly , who may be exempted from the payment of tithes ... either in part or totally , first , by a real composition ; or secondly , by custom or prescription . First , a real composition is when an agreement is made between the owner of the lands , and the parson or vicar , with the consent of the ordinary and the patron , that such lands shall for the future be discharged from payment of tithes , by reason of some land or other real recompence given to the parson , in lieu and satisfaction thereof ... Secondly , a discharge by custom or prescription , is where time out of mind such persons or such lands have been , either partially or totally , discharged from the payment of tithes . And this immemorial usage is binding upon all parties , as it is in its nature an evidence of universal consent and acquiescence ; and with reason supposes a real composition to have been formerly made . This custom or prescription is either de modo decimandi , or de non decimando . A modus decimandi , commonly called by the simple name of a modus only , is where there is by custom a particular manner of tithing allowed , different from the general law of taking tithes in kind , which are the actual tenth part of the annual increase . This is sometimes a pecuniary compensation , as twopence an acre for the tithe of land : sometimes it is a compensation in work and labour , as that the parson shall have only the twelfth cock of hay , and not the tenth , in consideration of the owner 's making it for him : sometimes , in lieu of a large quantity of crude or imperfect tithe , the parson shall have a less quantity , when arrived to greater maturity , as a couple of fowls in lieu of tithe eggs ; and the like . Any means , in short , whereby the general law of tithing is altered , and a new method of taking them is introduced , is called a modus decimandi , or special manner of tithing. ... A prescription de non decimando is a claim to be entirely discharged of tithes , and to pay no compensation in lieu of them . Thus the king by his prerogative is discharged from all tithes . So a vicar shall pay no tithes to the rector , nor the rector to the vicar , for ecclesia decimas non folvit ecclesiae . But these personal to both the king and the clergy ; for their tenant or lessee shall pay tithes of the same land , though in their own occupation it is not tithable . And , generally speaking , it is an established rule , that in lay hands , modus de non decimando non valet . But spiritual persons or corporations , as monasteries , abbots , bishops , and the like , were always capable of having their lands totally discharged of tithes , by various ways : as By real composition : By the pope 's bull of exemption : By unity of possession ; as when the rectory of a parish , and lands in the same parish , both belonged to a religious house , those lands were discharged of tithes by this unity of possession : By prescription ; having never been liable to tithes , by being always in spiritual hands : By virtue of their order ; as the knights templars , cistercians , and others , whose lands were privileged by the pope with a discharge of tithes . Though , upon the dissolution of abbeys by Henry VIII , most of these exemptions from tithes would have fallen with them , and the lands become tithable again ; had they not been supported and upheld by the statute 31 Hen . VIII . c. 13 . which enacts , that all persons who should come to the possession of the lands of any abbey then dissolved , should hold them free and discharged of tithes , in as large and ample a manner as the abbeys themselves formerly held them . And from this original have sprung all the lands , which , being in lay hands , do at present claim to be tithe - free : for , if a man can shew his lands to have been such abbey lands , and also immemorially discharged of tithes by any of the means before - mentioned , this is now a good prescription de non decimando . But he must shew both these requisites ; for abbey lands , without a special ground of discharge , are not discharged of course ; neither will any prescription de non decimando avail in total discharge of tithes , unless it relates to such abbeylands . The Tithe Barn , Abbotsbury , Dorset ( scene of the sheep - shearing in Thomas Hardy 's Far from the Madding Crowd ) Tithe Barn at Bradford on Avon , West Wiltshire Interior of the medieval tithe barn at Pilton , Somerset Coggeshall near Braintree Essex , the timber has been dated to between 1130 and 1270 Islam ( edit ) Main article : Zakāt Zakāt ( Arabic : زكاة ‎ ( zækæːh ) ) or `` alms giving '' , one of the Five Pillars of Islam , is the giving of a small percentage of one 's assets to charity . It serves principally as the welfare contribution to poor and deprived Muslims , although others may have a rightful share . It is the duty of an Islamic state not just to collect zakat but to distribute it fairly as well . Zakat is payable on three kinds of assets : wealth , production , and animals . The more well - known zakat on wealth is 2.5 % of accumulated wealth , beyond one 's personal needs . Production ( agricultural , industrial , renting , etc . ) , is subject to a 10 % or 5 % zakat ( also known as Ushur ( عُشر ) , or `` one - tenth '' ) , using the rule that if both labor and capital are involved , 5 % rate is applied , if only one of the two are used for production , then the rate is 10 % . For any earnings , that require neither labor nor capital , like finding underground treasure , the rate is 20 % . The rules for zakat on animal holdings are specified by the type of animal group and tend to be fairly detailed . Muslims fulfill this religious obligation by giving a fixed percentage of their surplus wealth . Zakat has been paired with such a high sense of righteousness that it is often placed on the same level of importance as performing the five - daily repetitive ritualised prayer ( salat ) . Muslims see this process also as a way of purifying themselves from their greed and selfishness and also safeguarding future business . In addition , Zakat purifies the person who receives it because it saves him from the humiliation of begging and prevents him from envying the rich . Because it holds such a high level of importance the `` punishment '' for not paying when able is very severe . In the 2nd edition of the Encyclopaedia of Islam it states , `` ... the prayers of those who do not pay zakat will not be accepted '' . This is because without Zakat a tremendous hardship is placed on the poor which otherwise would not be there . Besides the fear of their prayers not getting heard , those who are able should be practicing this third pillar of Islam because the Quran states that this is what believers should do . Non-Muslims ( able - bodied adult males of military age ) living in an Islamic state are required to pay Jizya , this exempts them from military service and they do not pay Zakat . Sikhism ( edit ) Main article : Daswandh Daswandh ( Punjabi : ਦਸਵੰਧ ) , sometimes spelled Dasvandh , is the one tenth part ( or 10 % ) of one 's income that should be donated in the name of the God , according to Sikh principles .

where was tithe first recorded in the bible
[ "Unlike other offerings which were restricted to consumption within the tabernacle, the second tithe could be consumed anywhere . On years one, two, four and five of the Shemittah-cycle, God commanded the Children of Israel to take a second tithe that was to be brought to the place of the Temple (Deuteronomy 14:23). The owner of the produce was to separate and bring 1/10 of his finished produce to the Old City of Jerusalem after separating Terumah and the first tithe, but if the family lived too far from Jerusalem, the tithe could be redeemed upon coins (Deuteronomy 14:24–25). Then, the Bible required the owner of the redeemed coins to spend the tithe \"to buy whatever you like: cattle, sheep, wine or other fermented drink, or anything you wish\" (Deuteronomy 14:26). Implicit in the commandment was an obligation to spend the coins on items meant for human consumption." ]

At the Sarajevo 1984 Winter Olympics the pair won gold and became the highest scoring figure skaters of all time ( for a single programme ) receiving twelve perfect 6.0 s and six 5.9 s which included artistic impression scores of 6.0 from every judge , after skating to Maurice Ravel 's Boléro . Their performance was watched by a British television audience of more than 24 million people . The pair turned professional following the 1984 World Championships , regaining amateur status briefly ten years later in 1994 to compete in the Olympics once again . The pair retired from competitive skating for good in 1998 when they toured one last time with their own show , Ice Adventures , before rejoining Stars on Ice for one more season . Their final routine was performed to Paul Simon 's `` Still Crazy After All These Years '' , a routine they had devised a few years earlier for competition . Although remaining close friends , the pair did not skate together again until they were enticed out of retirement to take part in ITV 's Dancing on Ice . Both are from Nottingham , England , where the local National Ice Centre is accessed through a public area known as Bolero Square , in honour of the pair 's Olympic achievements . There is also a housing estate in the Wollaton area of the city with a street named ' Torvill Drive ' and another named ' Dean Close ' which is located just off Torvill Drive , with many of the surrounding roads named after coaches and dances associated with the pair . In a UK poll conducted by Channel 4 in 2002 , the British public voted Torvill and Dean 's historic gold - medal - winning performance at the 1984 Winter Olympics as Number 8 in the list of the 100 Greatest Sporting Moments .

Nottingham coach Janet Sawbridge put them together , and shortly afterwards , they started their ice dancing history . They took their first trophy in 1976 . They changed coaches to Betty Callaway in 1979 . After a 5th - place finish at their first Olympic Games , in Lake Placid in the 1980 Winter Olympics , and 4th place in the Worlds that year , they never took lower than first place in any competition they entered except the 1994 Winter Olympics . Singer - actor Michael Crawford was the fourth member of the team , along with their trainer . He became a mentor to them around 1981 , and went on to help them create their 1983 and 1984 Olympic routines , and `` taught them how to act '' . Crawford said of them , `` I found them to be delightful young people , the kind you want to help if you can . '' ( The Times November 1982 ) . He was present with their trainer at the ringside , when the team won their perfect Olympics score with their Boléro routine . ( Source : Torvill and Dean 's 1996 autobiography partially cited at ) ( For further information and biographies , see the individual articles on Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean ) Going Professional ( edit ) Although Torvill and Dean had been able to leave their jobs as an insurance book clerk and policeman , respectively -- thanks to grants from the City of Nottingham -- they were not allowed to earn any money from skating as long as they wished to remain eligible for the Olympics . Turning professional in 1984 , they took advantage not only of the financial but of the artistic possibilities of their new status . They worked with Australian dance choreographer Graeme Murphy at first , and they were able to create not only routines for themselves but entire ice shows with a thematic coherence , which toured Australia , the U.S. , and Europe . Their projects included a filmed fairy tale `` Fire and Ice . '' In general , Dean would imagine the sequence he wanted to perform , and Torvill would work with him to refine it technically . They choreographed , as a team , for other ice dancers and skaters , particularly the Canadian brother -- sister team Isabelle and Paul Duchesnay , who skated for France at the Albertville 1992 Winter Olympics , taking the silver medal with their West Side Story routine . Return to the Olympics ( edit ) After ten years as professionals , Torvill and Dean decided to return to the amateur arena for the 1994 Olympics in Lillehammer , Norway ( along with other great skaters of the 1980s , such as Brian Boitano and Katarina Witt , following a change in eligibility rules ) . The couple moved to Hamar , Norway , in 1993 in order to practise at the Hamar Olympic Amphitheatre which hosted the figure skating events . Their free dance was designed to re-establish some of the ideas about ice dance which they themselves had been instrumental in dismantling ; `` Let 's Face The Music and Dance '' had no swooning lovers , theatrical accessories , or strong ideological message ; instead , the emphasis was upon pure , light - hearted dance in the Astaire and Rogers tradition . The routine did have one move , an assisted lift , which pushed the envelope of the rules , though they had danced the routine at the European Championships with no indication from the judges of any problems . According to their joint autobiography , Facing the Music , the lift was technically legal because the rule prohibited lifts `` above the shoulders , '' and the lift they used was not above the shoulders . The judges placed Torvill and Dean third , giving the second to perennial silver medalists Usova and Zhulin , and the gold medal to Grishuk and Platov , who continued to win gold through the next four years . Life after the Olympics ( edit ) After the disappointing finish at Lillehammer , Torvill and Dean `` retired from competitive skating '' on 2 March 1994 . Instead , they continued with their planned and very successful `` Face the Music '' tour , to be followed by numerous other projects : Dean choreographed a suite of dances to the songs of Paul Simon for the English National Ballet , professional competitions , touring with Stars on Ice , and collaborating with cellist Yo - Yo Ma and director Patricia Rozema on the video Inspired by Bach : Six Gestures . In late 1998 , they produced an ice show at Wembley Stadium in London , `` Ice Adventures , '' which included a `` flying '' ice ballet and other wonders . In the meantime , they were still choreographing , notably for the dynamic French Ice Dance team , Anissina and Peizerat , who won first place in the World Championships in 2000 . In 1998 , the pair officially retired , each continuing to coach and choreograph separately . Since 2006 , they have acted as coaches , choreographers and performers in ITV 's Dancing on Ice and its Australian version Torvill and Dean 's Dancing on Ice . The ITV show returned for a fifth series in January 2010 . After the 2007 and 2008 UK series of Dancing on Ice , Torvill and Dean took the show on the road for a British tour ; a similar tour , the `` 25th Anniversary '' ( of their Sarajevo Olympic success ) took place in 2009 . In 2014 , Torvill and Dean returned to Sarajevo to dance the Bolero one more time , celebrating the 30 year anniversary of their Olympics performance . Invited by the mayor of Sarajevo ahead of the Youth Olympic Games in 2017 , the event helped raise funds for a permanent ice rink and reminded the world of their efforts to bring back the Olympics to Sarajevo. 2015 saw Torvill and Dean make their pantomime début at the Manchester Opera House , performing in `` Cinderella '' . Style and approach ( edit ) Use of narrative and thematic music ( edit ) Paraguay postage stamp of Torvill and Dean performing at the 1984 Winter Olympics After winning the 1981 World Figure Skating Championships ( which brought the distinction of MBEs ) , and with three more years before the Olympics , they began to plan routines which used a single piece of music and had some narrative or thematic element . At that time , Ice Dance `` long '' routines typically used several pieces of music , often with different rhythms to show off the command of different steps ( thus their Free Dance in 1981 used `` Fame '' , `` Caravan '' , `` Red Sails in the Sunset '' , and `` Sing , Sing , Sing '' ) ; the Original Set Pattern dance used only one piece of music , but the entire routine had to be performed three times in sequence , exactly the same way . In 1982 , they presented a long programme to the overture from the musical Mack and Mabel , which evoked the emotions of a sweet but stormy romance ; at the World Championships in 1983 , they enacted a visit to the circus with music from Barnum , a performance which brought them the honour of receiving the world 's first perfect score , with help from the stage show 's star , Michael Crawford ; in 1984 , at the Olympics , they stunned the world with Boléro , and also with their dramatic Paso Doble ( Capriccio Espagnol ) short routine , in which Torvill was the bullfighter 's cape . They had learned to choose and edit music carefully and design routines that were appealing both technically and imaginatively , and their completeness of presentation included thematically appropriate costumes . In 1989 , during the duo 's visit to Australia , they recorded an album Here We Stand , produced by Kevin Stanton with arrangements by Warwick Bone and Derek Williams , and recorded while Christopher Dean was laid up in Sydney , recuperating from a torn ligament . Sales of the album were poor , and this may have been due to the fact that the album featured the dancers singing the material ghosted by backing vocalists , instead of the music they danced to , however it survives on iTunes . Complying with Olympic rules ( edit ) Torvill and Dean 's 1984 Olympic free dance was skated to Maurice Ravel 's Boléro . Ravel 's original Boléro composition is over 17 minutes long . Olympics rules state that the free dance must be four minutes long ( plus or minus ten seconds ) . Torvill and Dean went to a music arranger to condense Boléro down to a `` skateable '' version . However , they were told that the minimum time that Boléro could be condensed down to was 4 minutes 28 seconds , 18 seconds in excess of the Olympics rules . Torvill and Dean reviewed the Olympic rule book and found that it stated that actual timing of a skating routine began when the skaters started skating . Therefore , they could use Boléro if they did not place their skates ' blades to ice for the first 18 seconds . They timed the performance so that when Torvill first placed a blade on the ice , they would have the maximum skating time remaining .

The piece was choreographed jointly between Jayne and Chris together with Graeme Murphy , Artistic Director with the Sydney Dance Company at the time . The costumes consisted of both Jayne and Chris wearing billowing orange / red trousers with brief top pieces adorned with India jewels . The piece consists of a tremendous amount of drawn - out lifts , twisting , intertwining , and even sitting and rolling on the ice to create a balletic piece which they describe at evoking Indian sculptures . The piece was first performed at the 1984 Royal Variety Show in London , before going on to win with straight 10s at the 1984 World Professional Championships . An extended Company version of the dance was devised for the 1985 / 1986 World Tour . It is also known to have been performed again for the one - off televised production with the Russian All Stars at the Luzhniki rink in Moscow in 1987 . The piece contains a unique move of immense technical balance , design , and strength , whereby Dean lifts Torvill feet - first , allowing her to take hold of his lower calf . He then lifts his one leg back with Torvill held horizontal across his body as he completes the lift gliding forward on one leg . The obvious difficulty and stunning symmetry of the lift made it quite a show stopper , and they can be seen to repeat the lift during the 1993 Skates of Gold Exhibition in Boston USA when they take to the ice with their peers from their amateur period : Marina Klimova & Sergei Ponomarenko , and Natalia Bestemianova and Andrei Bukin . Dean and Torvill showed that the years have done nothing to detract from their skill , strength and balance when they incorporated the same lift into a re-worked version of Bolero for the 2007 series of Dancing on Ice . Encounter 1984 ( edit ) Music : `` January Stars '' written and performed by George Otis Winston Known performance period 1984 -- 1995 Versions available on video / DVD or internet : yes Competition : World Professional Championships Washington 1984 Result : 1st ( 10 , 10 , 10 , 10 , 10 , 10 , 10 . ) Artistic piece World Team Championship 1994 Result : 1st Encounter runs at over six minutes and was for Torvill and Dean their most enduring professional performance , winning them the World Professional Championships in 1984 and known to be used as performance piece until 1987 . They resurrected the piece in 1994 to win at the World Team Championships . It is last known to have been performed at Wembley for the Face the Music World Tour filmed in June 1995 . The theme of the piece involves two people who walk past each other in the street , notice each other , do a double take , and instantly fall in love . What follows is a brief encounter of two people very much in love but destined to be apart . The costumes were minimalist and unobtrusive , in keeping with the understatedness of the piece , consisting in the 1980s of a small sleek light grey - blue dress for Torvill cut like a mini-skirt and a silver - grey outfit for Dean . When Encounter was performed in the 1990s , Torvill wore a dress designed to look identical to the original , while Dean now wore shirt and trousers to match the colour of Torvill 's outfit exactly . Heaven and hell 1985 ( group number ) ( edit ) Music : derived from the Seven Deadly Sins Ballet Known performance period : 1985 -- 1986 Versions available on video / DVD or internet : none known A ten - minute group number , with Torvill and Dean taking part in the Heaven section , dressing in cream - white outfits . Venus 1985 ( edit ) Music : Gustav Holst ( The Planet Suite ) Known performance period 1985 -- 1986 Versions available on video / DVD or internet : yes Competition : World Professional Championships Washington 1985 Result : 1st ( 10 , 10 , 10 , 10 , 10 , 10 , 10 . ) This dance was devised as part of their first World Tour , and formed their number in the Planet Suite , with various members of the Company performing the other planet pieces and the whole company performing Jupiter . The premise of Venus is that Jayne is the Goddess of Love looking after the world ( source Facing the Music : 1995 : 167 ) . The world is actually physically represented in the piece by large globe lit up inside and suspended by a wire ( controlled by a boom operator ) orbiting Torvill and Dean throughout the dance . The opening of the number was most unusual , consisting of an immensely tall Jayne skating on in a large voluminous cloak and sending the globe / sphere into orbit . Chris was in fact concealed within the cloak , lifting Jayne throughout the opening sequence , to then be revealed as the dance begins . The dance is extremely graceful , with many unusual lifts and intricate moves . The costumes were white , with Jayne wearing a white headscarf adorned with a gold coronet . The dance was used as the artistic piece for the 1985 World Championships which they won for the second year in a row . Jupiter 1985 ( group number ) ( edit ) Music : Holst ( The Planet Suite ) Known performance period : 1985 -- 1986 Versions available on video / DVD or internet : none known The spectacular finale piece for Torvill and Dean 's first World Tour involving Torvill and Dean spinning like heavenly bodies with half a dozen fliers around them in orbit on wires . At the end , all the lights would go off except for ultraviolet , leaving them apparently spinning in space ( source Facing the Music : 1995 : 167 ) . Diablo Tango 1985 ( edit ) Music : ' Valentino Tango ' Janko Nilovic Known performance period 1985 -- 1987 Versions available on video / DVD or internet : yes Competition : World Professional Championships Washington 1985 Result : 1st ( 10 , 10 , 10 , 10 , 9.9 , 9 , 9 , 10 . ) Technical piece Another dance devised as part of their first World Tour , and also used to win as the technical piece in the 1985 World Professional Championships . This dance was Torvill and Dean 's first real venture into humour . Later notable comic dances would be Hatrick , Low Commotion , and Trunk Tango , but this remains arguably the most slapstick . Dean 's costume is Spanish in appearance , reflecting the Spanish music , consisting of an open - neck white shirt with a loose black tie , black trousers , and a large purple sash around his waist . Jayne is in a black 1920s ' outfit , complete with arm - length gloves and basin hat . Shepherd 's song 1986 ( edit ) Music : Baylero -- A Shepherd 's Song from Songs of the Auvergne Composer : Joseph Canteloube ; Sung by Kiri Te Kanawa Known performance period : 1986 Versions available on video / DVD or internet : yes This dance was designed specifically for the 1986 Sports Aid Gala , the proceeds of which went to causes in need in Africa . It is not clear whether it was ever performed again thereafter , but the photo caption on page 76 of Fire on Ice ( Wilson : 1994 ) suggests that it was then incorporated into the World Tour , at least for its next visit to Wembley . The lyrics are in fact those of a very simple old folk song depicting a Shepherd and Shepherdess calling to each other across mountain pastures . The booklet with the CD `` A La Francaise '' gives the following translation of the song : `` Shepherd , across the water , you are scarcely having a good time , Sing bailero , lero , lero . Scarcely , and you ? Sing bailero , lero . Shepherd , how do I get over there , there 's a big stream , sing bailero , lero . Wait , I 'll came and get you , Bailero , lero , lero . '' The dance begins and ends most unusually with the dancers lying entwined together asleep on the ice . The opening depicting daybreak and the end nightfall . In the reverse of Bolero , it is Dean who steps onto the ice first and brings Jayne to her feet . The dance is highly balletic , with operatic movements incorporated . At one point in the dance Torvill and Dean encircle each other catching hold of each other 's ice skate in constant succession creating a very beautiful , intricate and highly technical fluid movement . The costumes are very simple , with Torvill in white and Dean in a loose fitting armless shirt piece and brown trousers with white leg ties . Fire and ice 1986 ( edit ) Music : Carl Davis Written by : Tom Gutteridge Directed by : Tom Gutteridge Produced by : Nick Elliot Produced and Filmed for LWT : 1986 Versions available on video / DVD or internet : Available on the Dancing on Ice 2006 DVD Torvill and Dean devised Fire and Ice in Australia with Graeme Murphy , sold it to LWT ( London Weekend Television -- part of ITV ) . It was written by Tom Gutteridge and Carl Davis and rehearsed and filmed in Germany ready for its UK television premier in Christmas 1986 . Fire and Ice is a full length company piece creating narrative ballet on ice . Set between the Planet of Fire and the Planet of Ice , it tells of a love story between a Prince of Fire and a Princess of Ice . It is a full set piece with visual designs and effects depicting different locations on the two planets and telling the story . The piece opens with Dean performing actually ballet within the catacombs of the Plant of Fire , while seeing Torvill in the blue flames of their altar . Upon diving in , he finds himself upon her planet . He meets her and , after taking some time to adapt to her planet , they fall in love . She gets called away to a Royal Ceremony but she rejoins him later . The following morning they are discovered and a violent attack is carried out on the Fire Prince by her own people . She pleads with her father to have mercy on him but he banishes her from his sight and the Fire Prince is left trapped in a prison of ice . Later the Ice Princess sneaks back to him and melts the ice with all her strength , leaving her close to death . The Fire Prince revives her and they are together once more . Meanwhile , the Prince 's own people have witnessed his fate in the flames and have arrived on the Planet of Ice . A war breaks out which ends in the death of both the Prince 's and Princess 's fathers . Devastated and alone , they find each other once more and grieve . As time heals their wounds and their love endures , a distant archway appears towering over the icy mountains . We watch them make their journey towards the arch and finally enter and make their break for freedom and a new life together . Released all over the world on video and DVD , the production is unique in Torvill and Dean 's repertoire -- their feature film . The piece contains many dances between the two of them , some of them comic ( including one where Dean is actually wearing ordinary shoes on the ice as he is learning to adapt ) , some of them romantic and passionate , and some of them highly dramatic , including dancing separately with the company dancers representing the people from their respective planets . For the most part , Dean wears a costume almost identical in design to his Song of India costume , only this time , rather than being red and orange , this one is red and burgundy , representing his fiery origins . Torvill wears an Ice Queen costume complete with crown , silver hair , and silver blue dress cut like icicles at the bottom . Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers medley 1987 ( edit ) Music : Irving Berlin : `` Steppin ' Out '' / `` Change Partners '' and `` Dance with Me '' / `` Cheek to Cheek '' / `` Puttin ' On the Ritz '' / `` Top Hat '' Known performance period : 1987 -- 1990 Versions available on video / DVD or internet : yes This medley of Irving Berlin numbers danced in tribute to Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers was devised for the brief tour Torvill and Dean did with the Ice Capades in 1987 , but continued as the final number throughout their long Russian All Stars Tour into 1990 . For costumes Chris wore full white tie , waistcoat , and tails , while Jayne wore a flowing near full - length blue dress complete with blue feather boa . Although neatly choreographed with spectacular music and lighting effects , it was arguably not as evocative of Fred and Ginger or as technically accomplished as the amazing `` Puttin ' On the Ritz '' routines that they performed at the Skate Canada Amateur exhibition in 1982 . One impressive component however was the incorporation of tap steps on ice during the middle of the routine . During the All Stars Tour ( and possibly the Ice Capades as well ) they kept to a similar theme for the final bow , skating on with the company to I Got Rhythm . Eleanor 's dream 1987 ( edit ) Music : Eleanor Rigby -- Paul McCartney Performance period 1987 Versions available on video / DVD or internet : None known Little is known about this piece and it has never been released commercially and possibly never recorded . It was created as one of their pieces for the 1987 Ice Capades Tour . In their autobiography , Dean states that he passed on the dance for Isabelle and Paul Duchesnay to perform in 1988 , and that the dance was about the relationship between a boy and a girl , with the boy breaking in upon the woman 's dreams Excerpt taken from : Torvill and Dean : Romancing the Ice -- Ice Cycles 1988 Both Dean and Torvill seem eager for responses to their new routines in the show and gratified with the verdict that everything is just great , with special accolades going to `` Eleanor Rigby '' . It was their newest routine and it 's a very interesting version of the song , undertaken with Paul McCartney , having little relation to the earlier Beatles recording . The version used was from the soundtrack of McCartney 's film Give My Regards to Broad Street . Dean and Torvill hated the movie but really liked that version of the song . `` It 's sort of our version of a dream sequence , '' says Dean , referring to their routine . `` And I 'm Eleanor , '' Torvill says simply . Torvill is the fragile title character , clad in muted white with pastel tones across the costume . He is a kind of dream lover to her , dressed in mostly black ; he is both exciting and dangerous . She fears him , but she wants him too , and eventually her desire overcomes her fear . That is ultimately her undoing , as he twirls her round and round his body and she can do nothing but be manoeuvred at this will . It ends with her in a crucifix form across his back as he carries her off into the fog . She was right to fear him after all ... Paganini 1987 ( edit ) Music : Nicolò Paganini Known performance period 1987 Versions available on video / DVD or internet : yes Paganini is a full Company Ballet choreographed by Tatiana Tarasova , with Torvill and Dean , together with lead dancer Yuri Ovchinikov as the leads . The performance consists of many highly balletic dances between Torvill and Dean and a few solo performances with the other company members present on the ice . The piece does evoke traditional Russian ballet and both Torvill and Dean perform extremely well throughout with many beautiful and unique moves . The costumes are simple -- Chris in a flamboyant white shirt piece and Jayne all in white , very similar to , if not the same as , as her costume in Shepherd 's Song . Originally filmed and performed for the one - off televised production with the Russian All Stars at the Luzhniki rink in Moscow in 1987 , it is not clear whether it became a permanent part of the Russian All Stars Tour , but it seems likely that it was performed in at least the first five months of the Tour . It is not clear whether another company performance they were working on under Chris 's choreography at the time , La Ronde , was ever completed or performed . It would appear that it was probably disbanded and replaced with Akhnaton . Excerpt taken from Torvill and Dean 's autobiography : Tatiana wanted to do a story of Paganini , portraying two sides to his character . Niccolo Paganini was many things : the greatest violin virtuoso of the last century , a composer , the megastar of his day , and romantic adventurer devoured by melancholy . He had seemed to Tatiana to be a perfect hero for Russian -- a soul in conflict with himself . Yuri Ovchinikov would be dancing Paganini 's crazy persona , Chris dancing the creative one , with Jayne as the great man 's muse . Neither of us took to the number , but restrained ourselves for the sake of a peaceful life . Missing 1987 ( edit ) Music : Dolencias -- Incantation Known performance period 1987 -- 1994 Versions available on video / DVD or internet : yes Performed to South American music , this routine was always very dimly lit for performance , giving the impression of two people on the run , traveling at night and contending with the elements . Chris wears grey - brown trousers and shirt , with Jayne in a simple one - colour burnt red dress . The symmetry in this dance is stunning , particularly the spinning moves created specifically to demonstrate the despair of the dancers / characters . They performed this throughout the Russian All Stars Tour and at various exhibitions including the 1990 Sports Aid Gala and recreated it in 1994 for the American Artistry on Ice documentary . Excerpt taken from Torvill and Dean 's autobiography ( Facing the Music : 1995 : 201 ) : One thing that required our attention was Chris 's response to some Andean music , which reminded him of the terrible things -- particularly the officially sanctioned kidnappings -- that had been happening in Chile and Argentina in recent years . The subject was very much in the air after the Falklands War , and more recently the Costa Gavras movie , Missing . Chris saw in his mind those who had vanished , the fathers , mothers , husbands , wives , lovers , friends and children , and devised a series of movements linking two people who could be seen as friends or brother and sister , confronting authority , cowering before it , searching for lost loved ones , and ending where they started , in limbo . Akhnaton 1987 ( edit ) Music : Akhnaten -- Philip Glass Known performance period 1987 -- 1989 Versions available on video / DVD or internet : Yes ( YouTube ) Akhnaton is another company performance devised for the Russian All Stars Tour that was never commercially released on film , and no known copies exist . The costumes were of traditional Egyptian royalty design . The piece received good reviews including repeated praise in the New York Times , and they refer to the piece regularly in their autobiography . Excerpt taken from Torvill and Dean 's autobiography : Chris had been interested for a while in ancient Middle Eastern history , and on a trip to London immersed himself in the Egyptian room of the British Museum . He liked the feel of the mythology , Isis and Osiris , Pharaoh as god , the idea of dying as rebirth into the real world , the richness of the funerary ornamentation , all that gold lapis lazuli , the stylised poses in the paintings , the hieroglyphics , and in particular the love story of Akhnaton and his queen Nefertiti . Then by chance we came across the CD of a new opera by Philip Glass , called , of all things Akhnaton . This is not exactly top ten material -- minimalist style , vastly long phrases of repeated notes , but in mood just what Chris was looking for . All we needed was to reduce a three - hour epic to 30 minutes . To do that demanded total immersion in the story and imagery . It was an odd thing to do , which involved some long negotiations on our behalf with Philip Glass himself . The dance opened with a strong image to seize and hold the audience . A huge pyramid of silk , 25 - foot square at its base , was being admired by modern tourists . Suddenly , a line attached to the top whipped the pyramid up and away , revealing the world of ordinary Egyptians in the 14th century BC , all in skirts and sandal - like skates . Chris as the Pharaoh made his entry carried on a throne , which led into a love sequence with Jayne as Nefertiti , then a rebellion by the people and a royal death , leaving Jayne / Nefertiti in mourning . Ragtime poker 1987 ( edit ) Music : Known performance period 1987 -- 1990 Versions available on video / DVD or internet : yes Widely available on the Russian All Stars video realised in 1990 , the group number involved the whole company dressed up as a pack of cards -- representing different suits , numbers , and court characters . It is a very lighthearted piece with little substance and was clearly provided as accessible comic relief from the other more demanding group pieces . Jayne and Chris come on at the end with the spades . Each dancer carries a large representing card , Jayne 's is the Queen of Spades and Chris 's is the King . Jayne skates mainly with the female skaters in a group with Chris joining them , defending them from the comic advances of the Joker in the pack . Chris wears black trousers , white shirt and waistcoat , with a sparkly red bowtie and jacket with gold lapels . Jayne has a very short flashy red dress with a spade in the middle . Snow Maiden 1987 ( edit ) Music : The Procession of the Tsar Berendy -- Rimski - Koraskov Known performance period 1987 -- 1990 Versions available on video / DVD or internet : yes Presumably designed at the beginning of the All Stars Tour , though possibly not until later in the run , this is something of a forgotten masterpiece , even though it has always been available on the Russian All Stars video . Both are dressed in shiny white outfits with blue and mauve embroidery . The ice is lit a wintry blue and the movements take full advantage of the images of Husky - drawn sleighs , winter pageants , and snow - covered landscapes that the music evokes so successfully . The dance is immensely fast and yet graceful at the same time . It actually begins in a static lift already posed as the lights go up , and it contains many large lifts from then on . Jayne leaps effortlessly onto Chris 's shoulders on a number of occasions and , in one move , even leaps all the way round him , going above his head , with seemingly very little assistance ( they later incorporated this move into Mack and Mabel for their Face the Music Tour in the mid ' 90s ) . It contains many symmetrical dance steps and large sweeping arm gestures , with a succession of impressive lifts and a series of symmetrical jumps and leaps carried out in perfect unison with each other , giving the impression of animals running through the forest . Unique to this dance is a series of two symmetrical steps where they literally leap high into the air together but leaning forward with their inside leg bent as they plunge back to the ground , putting their outside leg straight out behind them . The move actually makes them look like two stags leaping and bounding and thrusting their antlers forward . The piece ends with Jayne throwing herself onto Chris , who bends with Jayne balanced on his knees and allows himself to fall flat on to his back , ending with Jayne suspended in the air held up by Chris , forming a dramatic and very beautiful final tableau as Chris continues to glide across the ice on his back . Hi grace Echoes of Ireland 1989 ( edit ) Music : Known performance period 1989 -- 1992 Versions available on video / DVD or internet : yes Competition : Challenge of the Champions Innsbruck Austria 1990 Result : 1st ( 10 , 10 , 10 , 10 , 10 , 10 , 10 -- Artistic ) ( 10 , 10 , 10 , 9.9 , 10 , 10 , 9.9 -- Technical ) Devised initially as one of the new extra pieces for the second leg of the Russian All Stars Tour , this piece went on to be performed for competition to win the World Professional Championships in 1990 , and they were still performing a section of it by their 1992 Ukrainian Tour . In the 1992 `` Simply the Best '' documentary , Chris states `` in Echoes of Ireland we visited the country to get an idea of the people and their music before we choreographed this piece for the ice '' . The finished piece is actually an ensemble of three quite separate routines , which they later performed in different orders or simply on their own . The first is a tradition lighthearted Irish jig with some very clever footwork . The second is a more sombre dance done to older tradition Irish Folk music . The third piece is a more modern piece , a very beautiful new age number done to a song sung by an Irish female artist . This final dance includes an unusual lift where Jayne jumps up and sits high upon one of Chris 's shoulders facing the opposite way from him . The costumes consist of brown trousers , cream shirt , yellow neckerchief , and green - check waistcoat for Chris , and an off - orange dress with embroidered collar and sleeves and white apron for Jayne . Revolution / Imagine 1989 ( edit ) Music : Revolution -- The Beatles / Imagine -- John Lennon Known performance period 1989 -- 1990 Versions available on video / DVD or internet : yes Competition : World Professional Championships Result : 1st ( 10 , 9.9 , 10 , 9.9 , 10 , 10 , 10 ) Performed during the latter half of the All Stars Tour and also used to win the 1990 World Professional Championships , this piece is very different from any other they performed . It was highly technical , physically demanding with a lot of high and drawn - out lifts , and visually very impressive . True to the style of the music , Revolution is extremely fast - paced and performed with an aggression that neither had displayed before . The movements express violence , dissent , anguish , and entrapment . The costumes were very sophisticated in style : Chris wore back trousers , white open - necked shirt , and a smart black and purple waistcoat , while Jayne wore black trousers and a voluminous white silk blouse . What was particularly unusual about Jayne 's costume was that she actually wore black skates to blend right in with her trousers . While Chris always wore skates the dominant colour of his costume , even when in trousers Jayne rarely did , consistently skating in white skates in nearly all routines . Excerpt taken from Torvill and Dean 's autobiography ( Facing the Music : 1995 : 227 -- 228 ) : Revolution was most ambitious . Its inspiration was a Montréal dance group we had seen in Sydney with the odd name of La La La Human Steps , whose rapid , machine - gun , staccato movements were unlike anything we had seen before . Chris thought the technique might be adapted for the ice , if we replaced the dancers ' lifts and throws with quick - fire upper - body movements . It was long , fast and very testing , not only of our abilities as dancers , but also as actors , in particular Jayne , who had to go completely against character , with vicious movements and displays of anger . That was new , not only for her : nobody to our knowledge had done anything like this on ice before . In the 1991 Blade Runners documentary Jayne says : `` I did n't like Revolution at first because I 'm not an aggressive person , so it was good that he pushed it because it brought out another side of me -- another character that I could portray '' . Chris then goes on to explain the theme of the piece , and explains how it leads into imagine and why the perform the two pieces together : `` the idea is of it 's a young couple that have been married for a few years and it 's not that fairytale life of happiness . Which happens to a lot of people -- that something goes wrong and tension builds and anger grows within that . And I wanted to put that onto the ice -- this raw aggression -- and overstate it -- so that , for people sitting right the way back , it becomes literal though body . But it follows on in a sort of resolve -- not necessarily a happy ending -- it then goes into Imagine . Maybe there is something else , maybe there is a compromise or at least an understanding of their situation . They may not get back together or it may not be resolved but they 've analysed that they have a problem and maybe there is something to work towards and achieve a happier solution '' . Arc of the bell 1989 ( edit ) Music : Arvo Part Known performance period 1989 -- 1990 Versions available on video / DVD or internet : none known Little is known of this piece other than it is a modern piece by composer Arvo Part ( source : Facing the Music : 1995 : 227 ) . It has never been commercially available and no footage has come to light on the internet . It was the third routine designed in 1989 for the second leg of the Russian All Stars Tour . Oscar Tango 1990 ( edit ) Music : Simon Jeffes & Piers Harry Known performance period : 1990 -- 1992 Versions available on video / DVD or internet : yes Competition : World Professional Championships Result : 1st When Torvill and Dean decided to compete professionally again in 1990 , they used three pieces already designed for both the Ice Capades and the Russian All Stars , but Oscar Tango was the one new piece specifically designed as the technical routine for the World Professional Championships , which they went on to win . The piece is entirely unique in that the first minute and a half is skated in total silence , with the music only beginning after this time . In that time Jayne and Chris stamp out a series of extremely precise , sharp , and fast tango steps entirely separately from each other , but in complete unison and perfect split - second timing . In the `` Story So Far ... '' video released in 1996 , Chris explains that `` the movements in the silence represent the typical tango , but as the music begins we wanted to express the inner feelings of these two dancers '' . However , it could also be interpreted that they are dancing with other partners during the silence ( both hold a stance as if miming holding an invisible partner ) for whom they feel no connection , only to lose all rigidity when they find each other , instead experiencing total connection , fluidity of movement , and emotion through dancing with each other . The costumes were a patterned blend of sky , royal , and navy blues starting light at the top and getting gradually darker . A lot of new moves were created for this piece , many of which they would call upon again throughout the routines they devised from 1994 -- 1998 . This included a whole series of moves that were lifted direct from Oscar Tango and placed within the Olympic version of ' Lets Face the Music ' , moves that were to be repeated in ' In My Life ' , and a highly strenuous move whereby Chris lifts Jayne upside down and she puts her legs vertically in the air high above his head before swinging them back down to lie vertically across Chris balancing on his bent knees . This move was used again in ' In Trutina ' during their 1995 -- 96 World Tour and again for ' Bridge Over Troubled Water ' also devised in 1995 . They created the move once more in 2006 , this time incorporating it into their shortened and redesigned version of Bolero . Iceworks / Tilt 1991 ( edit ) Music : Andy Sheppard Known performance period : 1991 Versions available on video / DVD or internet : yes In 1990 , the BBC programme Omnibus approached Torvill and Dean to do a programme on their choreography . The documentary focused on how their choreography had advanced during their professional years , away from the rigid rules of amateur competition , focusing on the comic performance of Hat Trick , the political expression of Missing , the technical accomplishment of Oscar Tango , and the stylistic performance of Revolution / Imagine . The documentary also scored a first by persuading Chris and Jayne to produce an entirely new dance especially for it . The piece was named Iceworks for the documentary but later named Tilt when performed at events . As a televisual piece Iceworks was able to have dry ice effects , an artistic backdrop , and highly evocative lighting effects . The up - and - coming Jazz composer Andy Sheppard was asked to compose an entirely new piece of music specifically for the routine , and Chris worked closely with him on the composition process . The music was derived initially by blending saxophone with the sound of Chris and Jayne 's blades gliding across the ice ; thereafter a beat kicks in together with a slightly ethereal simple tune . The costumes consisted of matching ( though not identical ) all - in - one tight - fitting pieces consisting of a mix of pastel colours : yellow , pink , mauve , and blue . Designing this dance was fraught with difficulty for both Chris and Jayne : `` I could n't relate to the stark , modern music that had been commissioned by the Omnibus people . To be frank , I could n't understand Chris 's ideas for the music , could n't understand what he was trying to get me to do '' ( source : Facing the Music : 1995 : 227 -- 228 ) . They were working to a tight deadline for the programme but in the end the pressure became too much and the programme was delayed with the BBC 's agreement . Jayne took a two - week break with her just - married husband Phil Christensen before returning to start work with Chris on Oscar Tango . Iceworks was later completed for transmission as part of Omnibus in 1991 , and achieved the highest viewing figures ever for the programme . Skater 's waltz 1992 ( group number ) ( edit ) Music : Waldteufel Known performance period : 1992 Versions available on video / DVD or internet : none known This was the opening number of the 1992 Best of Torvill and Dean Tour that they performed with a Ukrainian ice dancing company . Only a small clip of it is known to be available on the internet , so not an awful lot is known about the dance except that it is a group number with Torvill and Dean performing with the whole company . Their costumes in this piece are possibly their most unusual of any of their performances . Jayne wears a white fur hat and a blue velvet dress with white fur finish and ornate and decorative gold ties and buttons pattern in the middle . Chris similarly wears a blue velvet top piece with the same gold effect , white trousers with a single blue stripe on each leg , and a velvet blue jacket with fur finish slung over his shoulder throughout the routine . The final section of this show had a weather theme , and the final bow call was done to Over the Rainbow which has the whole company skate on , with Torvill and Dean arriving last to take their bow last with the whole company . Stormy weather 1992 ( edit ) Music : Harold Arien and Ted Koechier Known Performance Period : 1992 Versions available on video / DVD or internet : yes A love - on - the - rocks number , with similarities in theme to Revolution , but this piece is more suggestive of heartbreak and rejection , possibly that of a couple going through divorce or the discovery of an affair or some other deception . Chris wears the same pale grey - blue outfit that he wears for the later performances of Encounter , while Jayne wears a stunning silky grey - silver dress that swirls out at the bottom and genuinely does conjure an image of storm clouds . It is a very fluid piece with a lot of swinging motions . Low Commotion 1992 ( edit ) Music : Ry Cooder Known Performance Period : 1992 Versions available on video / DVD or internet : yes Another unique piece where Chris and Jayne really experiment with a new type of music and a very different type of footwork . The routine is very fast and demanding , including a section where they skate backwards away from each other and back in a series of three , each time bringing their inside blades within inches of each other , relying on absolutely perfect judgement . Many of Torvill and Dean 's routines involve the display of one particular move three times in a row and this routine plays a joke on this concept when Chris flips Jayne over 360 twice in a row , with Jayne flipping Chris the third time and then flexing her muscles at the audience . They perform the routine in Texas - style barn dance costumes , both in straw hat and blue denim dungarees , Jayne with a red and white check lumberjack shirt , pigtails , and freckles , and Chris wearing a neckerchief . In the 1992 Simply the Best documentary Jayne explains that the characters are based loosely on those in The Tales of Tom Sawyer . The dance is extremely fast , but then when the music peters out at the end , the dancers seem to lose interest or even remember what they were doing and they just stroll off the ice . There was a company piece called Hoedown which either preceded or followed this routine , but it is not clear whether or not Torvill and Dean were actually in the group number . Drum duet 1993 ( edit ) Music : Genesis Known Performance Period : 1993 Versions available on video / DVD or internet : yes This was the last new routine that they choreographed before they began work on their Olympic routines . The costumes are extremely colourful and deliberately clashing . Torvill wears pink leggings , red shirt , and orange waistcoat , and Dean wears blue trousers , purple , pink , and blue shirt , and garish blue waistcoat . The music is a series of drumbeats / percussion to which they skate in a long series of intricate steps at speed across the ice . This includes a lot of fast backwards sections , separate jumps , twists , and turns in complete unison . The piece was designed for their stint as guest artists on the Tom Collins Tour of World Figure Skating Champions . 1994 to 1998 ( edit ) In Trutina 1994 Paperback Writer 1994 In My Life 1994 Lucy in the Sky 1994 Cecilia 1995 Bridge Over Troubled Water 1995 Still Crazy 1995 ( performed again in 1998 as their final dance before retiring ) Six Gestures 1996 Take Five 1996 Mumbo Jumbo 1997 Red Hat 1997 Winter Express 1997 Exotic Fish 1997 Jazz Fish 1997 Flying Fish 1997 The Hockey Event 1997 Only He Will Do 1997 New Year 's Eve Final 1997 Still Crazy 1998 Dancing on ice performances ( edit ) Torvill and Dean have performed several times during each TV series .

when did jane and chris win the olympics
[ "Torvill and Dean (Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean) are British ice dancers and former British, European, Olympic and World champions. At the Sarajevo 1984 Winter Olympics the pair won gold and became the highest scoring figure skaters of all time (for a single programme) receiving twelve perfect 6.0s and six 5.9s which included artistic impression scores of 6.0 from every judge, after skating to Maurice Ravel's Boléro.[1][2] Their performance was watched by a British television audience of more than 24 million people.[2] The pair turned professional following the 1984 World Championships, regaining amateur status briefly ten years later in 1994 to compete in the Olympics once again. The pair retired from competitive skating for good in 1998 when they toured one last time with their own show, Ice Adventures, before rejoining Stars on Ice for one more season. Their final routine was performed to Paul Simon's \"Still Crazy After All These Years\", a routine they had devised a few years earlier for competition. Although remaining close friends, the pair did not skate together again until they were enticed out of retirement to take part in ITV's Dancing on Ice." ]

Surf music
Surf music - wikipedia Surf music Surf music Stylistic origins Rock and roll surf culture Cultural origins Late 1950s to early 1960s , United States Typical instruments Electric guitar drums bass saxophones Derivative forms Garage rock punk rock pop punk garage punk skate punk Subgenres Instrumental surf vocal surf hot rod rock Fusion genres Surf punk Local scenes California Sound Other topics List of surf musicians Dick Dale The Beach Boys Surf music is a subgenre of rock music associated with surf culture , particularly as found in Southern California . It was especially popular from 1962 to 1964 in two major forms . The first is instrumental surf , distinguished by reverb - drenched electric guitars played to evoke the sound of crashing waves , largely pioneered by Dick Dale and the Del - Tones . The second is vocal surf , which took elements of the original surf sound and added vocal harmonies , a movement led by the Beach Boys . Dick Dale developed the surf sound from instrumental rock , where he added Middle Eastern and Mexican influences , a spring reverb , and the rapid alternate picking characteristics . His regional hit `` Let 's Go Trippin ' '' ( 1961 ) launched the surf music craze , inspiring many others to take up the approach . The genre reached national exposure when it was represented by vocal groups such as the Beach Boys and Jan and Dean . Dale is quoted on such groups : `` They were surfing sounds ( with ) surfing lyrics . In other words , the music was n't surfing music . The words made them surfing songs ... That was the difference ... the real surfing music is instrumental . '' At the height of its popularity , surf music rivaled girl groups and Motown for top American popular music trends . It is sometimes referred to interchangeably with the California Sound . During the later stages of the surf music craze , many of its groups started to write songs about cars and girls ; this was later known as hot rod rock . Contents 1 Instrumental surf 1.1 Form 1.2 History 2 Vocal surf 2.1 Distinctions 2.1. 1 Hot rod rock 2.2 Popularity 3 Decline 4 Influence and revival 4.1 Surf punk 5 Notes 6 References 7 Bibliography 8 Further reading Instrumental surf ( edit ) Form ( edit ) 1963 performance flyer , promoting surf musicians Surf music emerged in the late 1950s as instrumental rock and roll music , almost always in straight 4 / 4 ( or common ) time , with a medium to fast tempo . The sound was dominated by electric guitars which were particularly characterized by the extensive use of the `` wet '' spring reverb that was incorporated into Fender amplifiers from 1961 , which is thought to emulate the sound of the waves . The outboard separate Fender Reverb Unit that was developed by Fender in 1961 ( as opposed to reverb that was incorporated as a built - in amp feature ) was the actual first `` wet '' surf reverb tone . This unit is the reverb effect heard on Dick Dale records , and others such as `` Pipeline '' by the Chantays and `` Point Panic '' by the Surfaris . It had more of a wet `` plucky '' tone than the `` built in '' amp reverb , due to a different circuitry . Guitarists also made use of the vibrato arm on their guitar to bend the pitch of notes downward , electronic tremolo effects and rapid ( alternating ) tremolo picking . Guitar models favored included those made by Fender ( particularly the Jazzmaster , Jaguar and Stratocaster guitars ) , Mosrite , Teisco , or Danelectro , usually with single coil pickups ( which had high treble in contrast to double coil humbucker pickups ) . Surf music was one of the first genres to universally adopt the electric bass , particularly the Fender Precision Bass . Classic surf drum kits tended to be Rogers , Ludwig , Gretsch or Slingerland . Some popular songs also incorporated a tenor or baritone saxophone , as on The Lively Ones ' `` Surf Rider '' ( 1963 ) and The Revels ' `` Comanche '' ( 1961 ) . Often an electric organ or an electric piano featured as backing harmony . History ( edit ) By the early 1960s , instrumental rock and roll had been pioneered successfully by performers such as Link Wray , The Ventures and Duane Eddy . This trend was developed by Dick Dale , who added Middle Eastern and Mexican influences , the distinctive reverb ( giving the guitar a `` wet '' sound ) , and the rapid alternate picking characteristic of the genre ( influenced by Arabic music , which Dale learnt from his Lebanese uncle ) . His performances at the Rendezvous Ballroom in Balboa , California during the summer of 1961 , and his regional hit `` Let 's Go Trippin ' '' later that year , launched the surf music craze , which he followed up with hits like `` Misirlou '' ( 1962 ) . Dick Dale performing in 2005 Dick Dale - `` Let 's Go Trippin ' '' ( 1961 ) Dick Dale 's `` Let 's Go Trippin ' '' ( 1961 ) , which launched the surf music craze of the early 1960s .

See media help . Like Dale and his Del - Tones , most early surf bands were formed in Southern California , with Orange County in particular having a strong surf culture , and the Rendezvous Ballroom in Balboa hosted many surf - styled acts . Groups such as The Bel - Airs ( whose hit `` Mr. Moto '' , influenced by Dale 's earlier live performances , was released slightly before `` Let 's Go Trippin ' '' ) , The Challengers ( with their album Surfbeat ) and then Eddie & the Showmen followed Dale to regional success . The Chantays scored a top ten national hit with `` Pipeline '' , reaching number 4 in May 1963 . Probably the single-most famous surf tune hit was `` Wipe Out '' with its intro of a wicked laugh by the Surfaris ; the Surfaris were also known for their cutting - edge lead guitar and drum solos , and Wipe Out reached number two on the Hot 100 in August 1963 and number 16 in October 1966 . The group also had two other global hits , `` Surfer Joe '' and `` Point Panic '' . The growing popularity of the genre led groups from other areas to try their hand . These included The Astronauts , from Boulder , Colorado ; The Trashmen , from Minneapolis , Minnesota , who reached number 4 with `` Surfin ' Bird '' in 1964 ; and The Rivieras , from South Bend , Indiana , who reached number 5 in 1964 with `` California Sun '' . The Atlantics , from Sydney , Australia , were not exclusively surf musicians , but made a significant contribution to the genre , the most famous example being their hit `` Bombora '' ( 1963 ) . Also from Sydney were The Denvermen , whose lyrical instrumental `` Surfside '' reached number 1 in the Australian charts . Another Australian surf band who were known outside their own country 's surf scene was The Joy Boys , backing band for singer Col Joye ; their hit `` Murphy the Surfie '' ( 1963 ) was later covered by the Surfaris . European bands around this time generally focused more on the style played by British instrumental rock group The Shadows . A notable example of European surf instrumental is Spanish band Los Relámpagos ' rendition of `` Misirlou . '' The Dakotas , who were the British backing band for Merseybeat singer Billy J. Kramer , gained some attention as surf musicians with `` Cruel Sea '' ( 1963 ) , which was later covered by The Ventures , and eventually other instrumental surf bands , including the Challengers and the Revelairs . Vocal surf ( edit ) Distinctions ( edit ) See also : California Sound The Beach Boys performing `` I Get Around '' in 1964 In Matt Warshaw 's The Encyclopedia of Surfing , he notes : `` Surf music is divided into two categories : the pulsating , reverb - heavy , ' wet ' - sounding instrumental form exemplified by guitarist Dick Dale , and the smooth - voiced , multitracked harmonized vocal style invented by the Beach Boys . Purists argue that surf music is by definition instrumental . '' The Beach Boys -- `` Surfin ' U.S.A. '' ( 1963 ) Released in March 1963 , `` Surfin ' U.S.A. '' incorporated surf lyrics and the melody from Chuck Berry 's `` Sweet Little Sixteen '' , later becoming one of the best known surf rock songs . Problems playing this file ? See media help . This second wave of surf music was led by the Beach Boys , a group whose main distinction between previous surf musicians was that they projected a world view . In 1964 , the group 's leader and principal songwriter , Brian Wilson , explained : `` It was n't a conscious thing to build our music around surfing . We just want to be identified with the interests of young kids . '' A year later , he would express : `` I HATE so - called `` surfin ' '' music . It 's a name that people slap on any sound from California . Our music is rightfully ' the Beach Boy sound ' -- if one has to label it . '' Vocal surf can be interpreted as a regional variant of doo wop music , with tight harmonies on a song 's chorus contrasted with scat singing . According to musicologist Timothy Cooley , `` Like instrumental surf rock with its fondness for the twelve - bar blues form , the vocal version of Surf Music drew many key elements from African - American genres ... what made the Beach Boys unique was its ability to capture the nation 's and indeed the world 's imagination about the emerging New Surfing lifestyle now centered in Southern California , as well as the subtle songwriting style and production techniques that identify the Beach Boys ' sound . '' In 1963 , Murry Wilson , Brian 's father who also acted as the Beach Boys ' manager offered his definition of surf music : `` The basis of surfing music is a rock and roll bass beat figuration , coupled with raunch - type weird - sounding lead guitar , an electric guitar , plus wailing saxes . Surfing music has to sound untrained with a certain rough flavor in order to appeal to teenagers ... when the music gets too good , and too polished , it is n't considered the real thing . '' Hot rod rock ( edit ) Further information : Car song The 1932 Ford that appeared on the cover to the Beach Boys ' album , Little Deuce Coupe ( 1963 ) Hot rod music , or hot rod rock , evolved from surf music . According to The Ultimate Hot Rod Dictionary by Jeff Breitenstein : `` While cars and , to a lesser degree , hot rods have been a relatively common and enduring theme in American popular music , the term hot rod music is most often associated with the unique ' California sound ' music of the early to mid-1960s ... and was defined by its rich vocal harmonies , amplified ( generally Fender brand ) electric guitars , and youth - oriented lyrics ( most often celebrating hot rods and , more broadly , surfing and ' girls ' ) . '' Author David Ferrandino wrote that `` the Beach Boys ' musical treatments of both cars and surfboards are identical '' , whereas author Geoffrey Himes elaborated `` subtle '' differences : `` Translating the surf - music format into hot - rod tunes was n't difficult ... If surf music was a lot of Dick Dale and some Chuck Berry , hot - rod music was a little more Berry and a little less Dale -- i.e. less percussive staccato and more chiming riffs . Instead of slang about waxes and boards ; you used slang about carburetors and pistons ; instead of name - dropping the top surfing beaches , you cited the nicknames for the top drag - racing strips ; instead of warning about the dangers of a ' Wipe Out , ' you warned of ' Dead Man 's Curve . ' '' Popularity ( edit ) Jan and Dean -- `` Surf City '' ( 1963 ) Jan and Dean 's `` Surf City '' is the first song with a surf - related title to become a national number - one hit . The matter of which was the first surf song to top the charts remains a matter of dispute . Problems playing this file ? See media help . In late 1961 , the Beach Boys had their first chart hit , `` Surfin ' '' , which peaked at number 75 on the Billboard Hot 100 , followed by `` Surfin ' U.S.A. '' ( 1963 ) and `` Surfer Girl '' ( 1963 ) which reached the Top 10 . In mid-1962 , the group released their major - label debut , `` Surfin ' Safari '' . The song hit number 14 and helped launch the surf rock craze into a national phenomenon . Breitenstein writes that hot rod rock gained national popularity beginning in 1962 with the Beach Boys ' `` 409 '' , which is often credited with initiating the hot rod music craze , which lasted until 1965 . Several key figures would lead the hot rod movement beside Wilson , including songwriter - producer - musician Gary Usher and songwriter - disc jockey Roger Christian . Wilson then co-wrote `` Surf City '' ( 1963 ) for Jan and Dean , which spent two weeks at the top of the Billboard Top 100 chart in July 1963 . In the wake of the Beach Boys ' success , many singles by new surfing and hot rod groups were produced by Los Angeles groups . Himes notes : `` Most of these were n't real groups ; they were just a singer or two backed by the same floating pool of session musicians : often including Glen Campbell , Hal Blaine and Bruce Johnston . If a single happened to click , a group would be hastily assembled and sent out on tour . It was an odd blend of amateurism and professionalism . '' One - hit wonders included Bruce & Terry with `` Summer Means Fun '' , the Rivieras with `` California Sun '' , Ronny & the Daytonas with `` G.T.O. '' , and the Rip Chords with `` Hey Little Cobra '' . The latter two hits both reached the top ten , but the only other act to achieve sustained success with the formula were Jan & Dean . Hot rod group the Fantastic Baggys wrote many songs for Jan and Dean and also performed a few vocals for the duo . Decline ( edit ) The surf music craze , along with the careers of nearly all surf acts , was effectively ended by the British Invasion beginning in early 1964 . Hot rod music also ceased to be prominent that year . The emerging garage rock , folk rock , blues rock and later psychedelic rock genres also contributed to the decline of surf rock . The Beach Boys survived the invasion by diversifying their approach to music . Brian explained to Teen Beat : `` We needed to grow . Up to this point we had milked every idea dry ... We had done every possible angle about surfing and then we did the car routine . But we needed to grow artistically . '' After the decline of surf music , the Beach Boys continued producing a string of hit singles and albums , including the sharply divergent Pet Sounds ( 1966 ) . Subsequently , they became the only American rock or pop group that could arguably rival the Beatles , The band would only sparingly return to the hot rod and surfing - themed music , beginning with 1968 's `` Do It Again '' Influence and revival ( edit ) Instrumental surf rock style guitar was used in the James Bond Theme of the first Bond film Dr. No in 1962 , recorded by Vic Flick with the John Barry Seven . The theme became a signature for Bond films and influenced the music of spy films of the 1960s . Surf music also influenced a number of later rock musicians , including Keith Moon of The Who , East Bay Ray of the Dead Kennedys , and Pixies guitarist Joey Santiago . During the mid-to late 1990s , surf rock experienced a revival with surf acts , including Dick Dale recording once more , partly due to the popularity of the movie Pulp Fiction ( 1994 ) , which used Dale 's `` Misirlou '' and other surf rock songs in the soundtrack . New surf bands were formed , including Arc Isla , Jon and the Nightriders , Man or Astro - man ? , The Mermen , Los Straitjackets , and The New Electric Sound . In 2012 , Orchestra Nova San Diego premiered `` Surf '' , a symphonic homage to surf music , the ocean , and surfing , by classical composer Joseph Waters . Surf punk ( edit ) Surf punk is a revival of the original surfing sound . It was initiated in the late 1970s and early 1980s by groups such as Forgotten Rebels from Canada - who released `` Surfin ' on Heroin '' in 1981 - and Agent Orange from Orange County , who recorded punk cover versions of surf classics such as `` Misirlou '' , `` Mr Moto '' , and `` Pipeline '' that same year , with AllMusic 's Greg Prato calling the band `` influential '' and `` a step ahead of the rest of the punk / hardcore pack '' . The genre is related to skate punk , which rose to prominence at the same time , in the Orange County beach towns that nurtured the first wave of surf musicians . Skatepunk band JFA combined the Dead Kennedys ' `` Police Truck '' with the Chantays ' `` Pipeline '' to create the revved - up surf / skate homage `` Pipe Truck . '' Notes ( edit ) Jump up ^ `` Little Deuce Coupe '' ( 1963 ) has been cited by John Milward as one of the earliest forms of hard rock with its series of buzzing beats . Jump up ^ From 1961 to 1965 , some fifteen hundred car songs were recorded . As in the 1950s , many groups adopted the names of car brands , but with a greater emphasis on hot rods , such as The Duece Coupes , The Duals , The GTOs , The Dragsters , The Roadsters , The T - Bones , and The Roadrunners .

Rebel Without a Cause
Rebel Without a Cause - Wikipedia Rebel Without a Cause Jump to : navigation , search Rebel Without a Cause Theatrical release poster Directed by Nicholas Ray Produced by David Weisbart Screenplay by Stewart Stern Story by Nicholas Ray Adaptation : Irving Shulman Starring James Dean Natalie Wood Sal Mineo Jim Backus Ann Doran Corey Allen William Hopper Music by Leonard Rosenman Cinematography Ernest Haller Edited by William H. Ziegler Distributed by Warner Bros . Release date October 27 , 1955 ( 1955 - 10 - 27 ) Running time 111 minutes Country United States Language English Budget $1.5 million Box office $4,500,000 ( US rentals ) Rebel Without a Cause is a 1955 American drama film about emotionally confused suburban , middle - class teenagers filmed in CinemaScope . Directed by Nicholas Ray , it offered both social commentary and an alternative to previous films depicting delinquents in urban slum environments . The film stars James Dean , Sal Mineo and Natalie Wood . The film was a groundbreaking attempt to portray the moral decay of American youth , critique parental style , and explore the differences and conflicts between generations . The title was adopted from psychiatrist Robert M. Lindner 's 1944 book , Rebel Without a Cause : The Hypnoanalysis of a Criminal Psychopath . The film , however , does not make any references to Lindner 's book in any way . Warner Bros. released the film on October 27 , 1955 . Over the years , the film has achieved landmark status for the acting of cultural icon James Dean , fresh from his Oscar nominated role in East of Eden and who died before the film 's release , in his most celebrated role . This was the only film during Dean 's lifetime in which he received top billing . In 1990 , Rebel Without a Cause was added to the Library of Congress 's National Film Registry as being deemed `` culturally , historically , and aesthetically significant '' .

Please help improve it by removing unnecessary details and making it more concise . ( August 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Jim Stark is in police custody . Behind the opening credits , the film opens on a suburban Los Angeles street with teenager Jim Stark ( Dean ) drunkenly lying down on a sidewalk . He is arrested and taken to the juvenile division of the police station for `` plain drunkenness '' . At the station he meets John `` Plato '' Crawford ( Mineo ) , who was brought in for shooting a litter of puppies with his mother 's gun , and Judy ( Wood ) , who was brought in for curfew violation ( she was wearing a bright red dress with matching lipstick and was mistaken for being a streetwalker ) . The three each separately reveal their innermost frustrations to officers ; all three of them suffer from problems at home : Jim feels betrayed and anguished by his constantly bickering parents , Frank ( Jim Backus ) and Carol ( Ann Doran ) , but even more so by Frank 's milquetoast attitude and failure to stand up to Carol and her mother , who lives with them . His frustrations are made manifest to officer Ray Fremick ( Edward Platt ) when Jim is released to their custody . Judy is convinced that her father ( William Hopper ) has callously withdrawn his affections from her because she 's no longer a little girl , so she dresses up in racy clothes to get attention , which only causes her father to call her a `` dirty tramp '' . Plato comes from a broken family . His father abandoned them when he was a toddler , and his mother is often away from home , leaving Plato in the care of his housekeeper . Jim starts his first day at Dawson High School and again meets Judy ( who lives nearby ) waiting on the corner and offers her a ride . Seemingly unimpressed by Jim at first , she declines and sarcastically says , `` You know , I bet you 're a real yo - yo , '' and then is picked up by her `` friends '' , a gang of delinquents led by `` Buzz '' Gunderson ( Corey Allen ) . Arriving at school , Jim immediately gets in hot water for unknowingly stepping on the school insignia . While shunned by most of the student body , Jim befriends Plato , who comes to idolize him as a father figure . That afternoon , Jim 's class goes on a field trip to Griffith Observatory , where they see a dramatic presentation of the bleak future of the Earth as the Sun goes through its red giant phase and post red - giant phase . As he walks out , Buzz and his gang slash one of Jim 's tires and then begin taunting him by clucking and calling him `` chicken '' , which is sure to set him off . When Jim asks Judy , revealed to be the `` property '' of Buzz , why she hangs around with them , Buzz pushes Jim away from her , then whips out a switchblade and challenges Jim to a knife fight . Having no knife , Jim refuses , so Buzz orders one of his gang to lend Jim his knife , but even then Jim still refuses . When Buzz again calls Jim chicken he goes off , and the two begin fighting , each one getting minor jabs on the other until Jim knocks Buzz 's knife away and subdues him . Buzz wants another shot at Jim , which he accepts but not with knives . Buzz suggests stealing a couple of cars to have a `` Chickie Run '' at Millertown Bluff , a high seaside cliff . Jim agrees to meet them that evening before the observatory security guard runs the gang off . After they leave , Jim asks Plato what a Chickie Run is . At home , before leaving for the chickie run , Jim ambiguously asks Frank for advice about defending one 's honor in a risky , dangerous situation . But Frank , dressed in a frilly apron and doing housework while Carol is sick in bed , instead gives Jim a long - winded speech about avoiding confrontation of any kind . Jim changes his clothes and drives to Millertown Bluff . Buzz shows him the two stolen cars they 'll be racing , and then go to the edge of the cliff alone and share a cigarette , where Buzz confides in Jim that he likes him . When Jim asks Buzz why they 're doing the run , Buzz replies `` You got ta do something , now do n't you ? '' . Meanwhile , Judy asks Plato about Jim ; though they barely know one another , Plato calls Jim his best friend . When Judy asks what Jim is like Plato merely replies `` You have to get to know him , '' but adds that people Jim likes most get to call him `` Jamie '' . As they prepare to race , Buzz explains the rules : The two are to race toward the edge of the cliff , and whoever jumps out of their car first is declared the `` chicken '' . As the two cars speed toward the cliff , Jim tumbles out of his car , but Buzz 's jacket sleeve gets caught on his door handle , preventing him from jumping out before both cars plummet to the rocky shores below , with Buzz screaming , until he meets his death in the fiery crash below . The rest of the gang flee , leaving Judy stranded , but Jim , with Plato in tow , gives Judy a ride home , giving her back the purse mirror she left at the police station . Still with Plato along , Jim drives home . Plato then asks Jim if he would like to go with him to an old , abandoned mansion near the observatory and stay there for the night , but Jim declines and sends him home , but not before Plato writes down Jim 's address in his pocket notebook . Jim confronts his father while his mother watches . Jim confides his involvement in the crash to his parents who saw a news report about it on TV , but when Jim considers turning himself in , they warn him not to volunteer himself to the police . When Carol declares they 're moving again , Jim asserts that he wo n't let her use him as an excuse to keep running away . Jim then begs Frank to stand up with him against her , but he does n't . Jim angrily jumps and strangles Frank until he is pulled away by Carol . He storms off to the police station and is accosted by Buzz 's fellow gang members Crunch ( Frank Mazzola ) , Goon ( Dennis Hopper ) and Moose ( Jack Grinnage ) who were just released from custody . Jim ignores them and goes in looking for Fremick , but the desk sergeant rudely tells him that Fremick will be out all night . Before leaving , Jim tries to call Judy at her home , but the call is intercepted by her father who abruptly hangs up . Jim drives back home and finds Judy waiting at the same spot where they met that morning ( she greets him with `` Hello , Jamie '' ) . When Jim reveals he was attracted to her from the moment he saw her ( and even gently kisses the side of her forehead ) , Judy apologizes for the way she treated Jim that morning , blaming peer pressure , and the two begin to fall for one another . Agreeing that they will never go back to their respective homes , Jim suggests they go to the mansion Plato told him about , saying `` You can trust me , Judy . '' Meanwhile , Plato is just arriving home on his motor scooter when he is grabbed by Crunch , Goon and Moose . Convinced that Jim ratted them out to the police , and looking to avenge Buzz 's death , they demand to know where they can find Jim , but Plato refuses to talk . They grab Plato 's pocket notebook as he gets to the front door and run off . Plato runs upstairs to his bedroom and , after throwing away a child support check from his father , grabs his mother 's gun and runs off to warn Jim . At Jim 's house , Frank and Carol hear knocking at the front door . Frank answers to find a live chicken hanging over their door , and Buzz 's friends asking about Jim , but Frank hurriedly shuts the door . After they take off , Plato shows up for the same reason , but when Frank asks Plato about Jim , Plato quickly apologizes and hurries to the mansion where he finds Jim and Judy . The three new friends act out a fantasy as a family , and Plato tells them about when the `` head shrink '' got him to open up about hearing his parents fight when he was a baby , and how his mother later decided the money being spent on his therapy was better spent going alone to Hawaii . Wishing they could stay there , but unable to ignore his situation , Plato decides he `` might as well be dead anyway '' and lies down to doze . Judy hums the Brahms ' Lullaby to him before she and Jim explore the rest of the mansion . Jim and Judy find a place , and they exchange their first kiss . Crunch , Goon and Moose , now armed with chains , find their way to the mansion and wake up Plato . Frightened and distraught , Plato fights them off , both in the empty swimming pool , and in the mansion , until he finds his gun and shoots Moose , and then mistakenly fires at Jim when he comes back . Jim tries to restrain Plato , but he runs from the mansion , shooting at police who have just arrived . Plato runs to the observatory and barricades himself inside as more police converge , including Fremick who , with Frank and Carol , was looking for Jim . Jim and Judy follow Plato into the observatory , and Jim persuades Plato to trade the gun for his red jacket ; Jim silently removes the ammunition before giving the gun back . Jim then convinces Plato to come outside after asking Fremick to turn off the police lights . As they start to come out , the police notice Plato still has the gun and turn their lights back on , which incites Plato to break away and charge the police . When he is shot , Jim screams , `` I got the bullets ! ! Look ! ! '' Seeing Jim 's jacket , Frank believes at first that Jim had been shot . He runs to comfort the openly grieving Jim , and promises to try to be a stronger father , one that Jim can depend on . Judy 's father takes Jim 's jacket , and covers Plato 's body . Now reconciled to his parents , Jim introduces them to Judy saying `` She 's my friend '' , first briefly opposed by Carol , until Frank assures her that it 's all right . As dawn encroaches , and as everyone leaves in their respective cars , a lone figure in a business suit with briefcase walks toward the observatory , completely unaware of what just transpired . Cast ( edit ) James Dean as Jim Stark Natalie Wood as Judy Sal Mineo as John `` Plato '' Crawford Jim Backus as Frank Stark Ann Doran as Carol Stark Corey Allen as Buzz Gunderson William Hopper as Judy 's father Rochelle Hudson as Judy 's mother Edward Platt as Inspector Ray Fremick Marietta Canty as the Crawford family maid Virginia Brissac as Grandma Stark Dennis Hopper as Goon Jack Grinnage as Moose Frank Mazzola as Crunch Ian Wolfe as Dr. Minton , astrononmy professor Beverly Long as Helen Robert Foulk as Gene Jack Simmons as Cookie Tom Bernard as Harry Nick Adams as Chick Steffi Sidney as Mil Clifford Morris as Cliff Production ( edit ) Warner Brothers had bought the rights to Lindner 's book , intending to use the title for a film . Attempts to create a film version in the late 1940s eventually ended without a film or even a full script being produced . When Marlon Brando did a five - minute screen test for the studio in 1947 , he was given fragments of one of the partial scripts . However , Brando was not auditioning for Rebel Without a Cause , and there was no offer of any part made by the studio . The film , as it later appeared , was the result of a totally new script written in the 1950s that had nothing to do with the Brando test . The screen test is included on a 2006 special edition DVD of the 1951 film A Streetcar Named Desire . According to a biography of Natalie Wood , she almost did not get the role of Judy because Nicholas Ray thought that she did not fit the role of the wild teen character . While on a night out with friends , she got into a car accident . Upon hearing this , Ray rushed to the hospital . While in delirium , Wood overheard the doctor murmuring and calling her a `` goddamn juvenile delinquent '' ; she soon yelled to Ray , `` Did you hear what he called me , Nick ? ! He called me a goddamn juvenile delinquent ! Now do I get the part ? ! '' Dawson High School , the school in the film , was actually Santa Monica High School , located in Santa Monica , California . Irving Shulman , who adapted Nicholas Ray 's initial film story into the screenplay , had considered changing the name of James Dean 's character to Herman Deville , according to Jurgen Muller 's `` Movies of the ' 50s '' . He had also originally written a number of scenes that were shot and later cut from the final version of the film . According to an AFI interview with Stewart Stern , with whom Shulman worked on the screenplay , one of the scenes was thought to be too emotionally provocative to be included in the final print of the film . It portrayed the character of Jim Stark inebriated to the point of belligerence screaming at a car in the parking lot , `` It 's a little jeep jeep ! Little jeep , jeep ! '' The scene was considered unproductive to the story 's progression by head editor William H. Ziegler and ultimately ended up on the cutting room floor . In 2006 , members of the Lincoln Film Society petitioned to have the scene printed and archived for historical preservation . The film was in production from March 28 to May 25 , 1955 . When production began , Warner Bros. considered it a B - movie project , and Ray used black and white film stock . When Jack L. Warner realized James Dean was a rising star and a hot property , filming was switched to color stock , and many scenes had to be reshot in color . The 1949 Mercury Coupe James Dean drove in the movie is part of the permanent collection at the National Automobile Museum in Reno , Nevada . Reception ( edit ) The film received accolades for its story and for the performance of James Dean and the young stars who appeared , including teenagers Natalie Wood , Sal Mineo and Dennis Hopper , as well as Nick Adams and Corey Allen . The film holds a 96 % fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes . The film was banned in New Zealand in 1955 by Chief Censor Gordon Mirams , out of fears that it would incite ' teenage delinquency ' , only to be released on appeal the following year with scenes cut . In Britain , the film was released with an X-rating with scenes cut . Awards and accolades ( edit ) Wins 1990 National Film Registry Nominations Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor : Sal Mineo Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress : Natalie Wood Academy Award for Best Writing , Motion Picture Story : Nicholas Ray BAFTA Award for Best Film BAFTA Award for Best Foreign Actor : James Dean American Film Institute recognition 1998 AFI 's 100 Years ... 100 Movies # 59 2005 AFI 's 100 Years ... 100 Movie Quotes `` You 're tearing me apart !

Costumes and props ( edit ) The switchblade James Dean 's character used in the fight scene at Griffith Observatory was offered at auction on September 30 , 2015 by Profiles in History with an estimated value of US $12,000 to $15,000 , with a winning bid of US $12,000 . Also offered at the same auction were production photographs and a final shooting script dated August 17 , 1955 for a behind - the - scenes television promotional film titled Behind the Cameras : Rebel Without a Cause hosted by Gig Young and that had scripted interviews and staged footage by the cast and crew ( script winning bid US $225 . ) In popular culture ( edit ) Television and film ( edit ) The Sylvester -- Tweety Pie film Rebel Without Claws ( 1961 ) , which takes place during the American Civil War , is a pun on the title of Rebel without a Cause . In Terrence Malick 's film Badlands ( 1973 ) , various characters note that the lead character reminds them of James Dean . The lead characters in Badlands , Kit and Holly ( Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek ) , mildly echo those of Jim Stark and Judy ( Dean and Wood ) . A Mercury Eight also appears in the film . In the 1983 film Christine , the character of Arnold `` Arnie '' Cunningham is intended to gradually resemble James Dean 's character throughout the film , particularly his hair and trademark red jacket . This may be due in part to the urban legend of Dean 's also owning a haunted car . The 1985 film `` The Heavenly Kid '' features a chicken run with a similar outcome as this film . In the Red Dwarf episode `` Kryten '' ( 1988 ) , Kryten lists Rebel Without a Cause as one of the movies Lister had him watch to break his programming , stop obeying orders , and rebel against Rimmer . Rebel was an influential film for Akira ( 1988 ) director Katsuhiro Otomo . In the 1990 film Darkman , protagonist Peyton Westlake ( who is the future Darkman , played by Liam Neeson ) describes himself as a `` rebel without a clue '' while seeing a projection slide of himself as a young rebel . In the 1990 film Flashback , Dennis Hopper 's character is referred as a Rebel Without Applause . Dennis Hopper also starred in Rebel Without a Cause . The 1991 movie Cool as Ice is supposed to be a remake of Rebel Without a Cause . Director Robert Rodriguez ( Spy Kids , From Dusk till Dawn ) entitled his 1996 memoir about breaking into the film industry Rebel Without A Crew . In title of the Space Goofs episode `` Rebel Without a Brain '' ( 1999 ) came from the movie . In The Simpsons episode `` Take My Wife , Sleaze '' ( 1999 ) , a parody of Rebel Without a Cause became an inspiration for Homer Simpson to form his motorcycle gang , even though he watched it with his vintage 1955 Harley - Davidson motorcycle he won at a 1950s nostalgia cafe earlier in the episode . In the TV series Futurama ( 1999 -- 2003 ) , Philip J. Fry 's outfit is based on Jim 's . In The Sopranos episode , `` Big Girls Do n't Cry '' ( 2000 ) , Christopher Moltisanti 's acting instructor assigns Chris and several classmates , whom she terms `` rebels without causes , '' to enact the scene wherein Plato dies and Jim cries over his friend 's body . The scene ( which evoked in Christopher feelings about his alcoholic mother , Joanne Blundetto Moltisanti , and deceased father , Richard ( Dickie ) Moltisanti ) touched Christopher so deeply that it inspired him to cry ( and to later punch the student who played Jim 's father in the scene ) and his emotionally true acting impressed Christopher 's teacher and classmates . In the SpongeBob SquarePants episode `` Prehibernation Week '' ( 2001 ) , SpongeBob says , `` They 're tearing me apart . '' in reference to the games that he and Sandy had been playing . This is a reference to Jim 's line , `` You 're tearing me apart , '' at the police station . In Seed Of Chucky ( 2004 ) Glen yells `` You 're tearing me apart ! '' at his fighting parents . Tommy Wiseau uttered the phrase you are tearing me apart in his 2003 film The Room , as an homage to James Dean 's role . Originally , the line was `` You are taking me apart '' because of Tommy Wiseau 's seemingly poor understanding of the English language and also because of his unwillingness to admit that he had taken the line from James Dean . An episode of The Story of Tracy Beaker was titled `` Rebel Without a Clue '' ( 2005 ) . In the movie Fantastic Mr. Fox ( 2009 ) , the line `` You say one thing , she says another , and it all changes back again '' is taken from the scene in Rebel Without a Cause where Jim Stark confronts his parents in the police station . The title of The Looney Tunes Show episode `` Rebel Without a Glove '' ( 2012 ) came from the movie title . In this episode , Bugs Bunny loses his gloves , and has to substitute biker gloves for them , only to realize that with the change in his gloves , his personality changes and he becomes a rebel . The film is featured heavily in La La Land ( 2016 ) , with clips from the movie appearing on screen and the characters talking about and going to see the film . In the Riverdale episode `` Chapter Four : The Last Picture Show '' ( 2017 ) , the film is screened at the drive - in movie theatre . Music ( edit ) The 1971 hit single American Pie contains the lyrics `` When the Jester sang for the King and Queen in a coat he borrowed from James Dean '' , widely believed to be a reference to the red jacket worn by Dean 's character in the film , and an allusion to the windbreaker worn by Bob Dylan on the cover of his 1963 album `` The Freewheelin ' Bob Dylan '' . Joni Mitchell included clips from Rebel Without a Cause in her concert film , Shadows and Light , recorded in 1979 and released in 1980 . The 1980 Bruce Springsteen song `` Cadillac Ranch '' mentions James Dean 's 1949 Mercury coupe . Rap Group Public Enemy made a song called `` Rebel Without a Pause '' . Bonnie Tyler in 1986 made a song called `` Rebel Without a Clue '' . The Bellamy Brothers in 1988 made a song called `` Rebels Without a Clue '' . The phrase `` rebel without a clue '' also occurs in the 1989 song `` I 'll Be You '' by The Replacements , which inspired Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers to include it on the 1991 song `` Into the Great Wide Open '' . The 1991 Paula Abdul video `` Rush , Rush '' features a street race and co-stars Keanu Reeves , drawing stylistic inspiration from Rebel Without A Cause , and as such , has a period theme . A 90 - second dramatic prelude to the song rather mirrors the characters from the film . In 1995 Nonesuch Records issued an album of music from both East of Eden and Rebel Without a Cause by the London Sinfonietta , conducted by John Adams . Rap - rock artist Kid Rock named his 1998 album `` Devil Without a Cause '' . Shenandoah mentions Dean and Wood in the 1993 song `` I Want to Be Loved Like That '' . The beginning of the song states : `` Natalie Wood gave her heart to James Dean / High school rebel and a teenage queen / Standing together in an angry world / One boy fighting for one girl . '' In the Marilyn Manson song `` Mutilation Is the Most Sincere Form of Flattery '' from his 2007 album `` Eat Me , Drink Me '' is the line `` Rebels Without Applause '' Track 5 on the 2007 Every Time I Die album , The Big Dirty , is named `` Rebel Without Applause '' . In their 2011 song `` Constipation '' , Black Hippy sings `` rebel without a cause '' . The German musician Prinz Pi 's album Rebell ohne Grund ( 2011 ) is named after Rebel Without a Cause . Locnville recorded a 2012 song named `` James Dean '' . Taylor Swift 's song `` Style '' , from her 2014 album 1989 , features the line `` You 've got that James Dean / day dream look in your eyes '' .

where does rebel without a cause take place
[ "Behind the opening credits, the film opens on a suburban Los Angeles street with teenager Jim Stark (Dean) drunkenly lying down on a sidewalk. He is arrested and taken to the juvenile division of the police station for \"plain drunkenness\". At the station he meets John \"Plato\" Crawford (Mineo), who was brought in for shooting a litter of puppies with his mother's gun, and Judy (Wood), who was brought in for curfew violation (she was wearing a bright red dress with matching lipstick and was mistaken for being a streetwalker). The three each separately reveal their innermost frustrations to officers; all three of them suffer from problems at home:" ]

Earth's magnetic field
Earth 's magnetic field - wikipedia Earth 's magnetic field Jump to : navigation , search Computer simulation of the Earth 's field in a period of normal polarity between reversals . The lines represent magnetic field lines , blue when the field points towards the center and yellow when away . The rotation axis of the Earth is centered and vertical . The dense clusters of lines are within the Earth 's core . Earth 's magnetic field , is also known as the geomagnetic field , is the magnetic field that extends from the Earth 's interior out into space , where it meets the solar wind , a stream of charged particles emanating from the Sun . Its magnitude at the Earth 's surface ranges from 25 to 65 microteslas ( 0.25 to 0.65 gauss ) . Roughly speaking it is the field of a magnetic dipole currently tilted at an angle of about 11 degrees with respect to Earth 's rotational axis , as if there were a bar magnet placed at that angle at the center of the Earth . The North geomagnetic pole , located near Greenland in the northern hemisphere , is actually the south pole of the Earth 's magnetic field , and the South geomagnetic pole is the north pole . The magnetic field is generated by electric currents due to the motion of convection currents of molten iron in the Earth 's outer core driven by heat escaping from the core , a natural process called a geodynamo . While the North and South magnetic poles are usually located near the geographic poles , they can wander widely over geological time scales , but sufficiently slowly for ordinary compasses to remain useful for navigation . However , at irregular intervals averaging several hundred thousand years , the Earth 's field reverses and the North and South Magnetic Poles relatively abruptly switch places . These reversals of the geomagnetic poles leave a record in rocks that are of value to paleomagnetists in calculating geomagnetic fields in the past . Such information in turn is helpful in studying the motions of continents and ocean floors in the process of plate tectonics . The magnetosphere is the region above the ionosphere that is defined by the extent of the Earth 's magnetic field in space . It extends several tens of thousands of kilometers into space , protecting the Earth from the charged particles of the solar wind and cosmic rays that would otherwise strip away the upper atmosphere , including the ozone layer that protects the Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation .

One stripping mechanism is for gas to be caught in bubbles of magnetic field , which are ripped off by solar winds . Calculations of the loss of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere of Mars , resulting from scavenging of ions by the solar wind , indicate that the dissipation of the magnetic field of Mars caused a near total loss of its atmosphere . The study of past magnetic field of the Earth is known as paleomagnetism . The polarity of the Earth 's magnetic field is recorded in igneous rocks , and reversals of the field are thus detectable as `` stripes '' centered on mid-ocean ridges where the sea floor is spreading , while the stability of the geomagnetic poles between reversals has allowed paleomagnetists to track the past motion of continents . Reversals also provide the basis for magnetostratigraphy , a way of dating rocks and sediments . The field also magnetizes the crust , and magnetic anomalies can be used to search for deposits of metal ores . Humans have used compasses for direction finding since the 11th century A.D. and for navigation since the 12th century . Although the magnetic declination does shift with time , this wandering is slow enough that a simple compass remains useful for navigation . Using magnetoception various other organisms , ranging from some types of bacteria to pigeons , use the Earth 's magnetic field for orientation and navigation . Main characteristics ( edit ) Description ( edit ) At any location , the Earth 's magnetic field can be represented by a three - dimensional vector . A typical procedure for measuring its direction is to use a compass to determine the direction of magnetic North . Its angle relative to true North is the declination ( D ) or variation . Facing magnetic North , the angle the field makes with the horizontal is the inclination ( I ) or magnetic dip . The intensity ( F ) of the field is proportional to the force it exerts on a magnet . Another common representation is in X ( North ) , Y ( East ) and Z ( Down ) coordinates . Common coordinate systems used for representing the Earth 's magnetic field . Intensity ( edit ) The intensity of the field is often measured in gauss ( G ) , but is generally reported in nanoteslas ( nT ) , with 1 G = 100,000 nT . A nanotesla is also referred to as a gamma ( γ ) . The tesla is the SI unit of the magnetic field , B . The Earth 's field ranges between approximately 25,000 and 65,000 nT ( 0.25 -- 0.65 G ) . By comparison , a strong refrigerator magnet has a field of about 10,000,000 nanoteslas ( 100 G ) . A map of intensity contours is called an isodynamic chart . As the World Magnetic Model shows , the intensity tends to decrease from the poles to the equator . A minimum intensity occurs in the South Atlantic Anomaly over South America while there are maxima over northern Canada , Siberia , and the coast of Antarctica south of Australia . Inclination ( edit ) Main article : Magnetic dip The inclination is given by an angle that can assume values between - 90 ° ( up ) to 90 ° ( down ) . In the northern hemisphere , the field points downwards . It is straight down at the North Magnetic Pole and rotates upwards as the latitude decreases until it is horizontal ( 0 ° ) at the magnetic equator . It continues to rotate upwards until it is straight up at the South Magnetic Pole . Inclination can be measured with a dip circle . An isoclinic chart ( map of inclination contours ) for the Earth 's magnetic field is shown below . Declination ( edit ) Main article : Magnetic declination Declination is positive for an eastward deviation of the field relative to true north . It can be estimated by comparing the magnetic north / south heading on a compass with the direction of a celestial pole . Maps typically include information on the declination as an angle or a small diagram showing the relationship between magnetic north and true north . Information on declination for a region can be represented by a chart with isogonic lines ( contour lines with each line representing a fixed declination ) . Geographical variation ( edit ) Components of the Earth 's magnetic field at the surface from the World Magnetic Model for 2015 . Intensity Inclination Declination Dipolar approximation ( edit ) The variation between magnetic north ( N ) and `` true '' north ( N ) . See also : Dipole model of the Earth 's magnetic field Near the surface of the Earth , its magnetic field can be closely approximated by the field of a magnetic dipole positioned at the center of the Earth and tilted at an angle of about 11 ° with respect to the rotational axis of the Earth . The dipole is roughly equivalent to a powerful bar magnet , with its south pole pointing towards the geomagnetic North Pole . This may seem surprising , but the north pole of a magnet is so defined because , if allowed to rotate freely , it points roughly northward ( in the geographic sense ) . Since the north pole of a magnet attracts the south poles of other magnets and repels the north poles , it must be attracted to the south pole of Earth 's magnet . The dipolar field accounts for 80 -- 90 % of the field in most locations . Magnetic poles ( edit ) Main article : Geomagnetic pole The movement of Earth 's North Magnetic Pole across the Canadian arctic . Historically , the north and south poles of a magnet were first defined by the Earth 's magnetic field , not vice versa , since one of the first uses for a magnet was as a compass needle . Its North pole was defined as the pole that would be attracted by the Earth 's North Magnetic Pole when the magnet was suspended so it could turn freely . Since opposite poles attract , the North Magnetic Pole of the Earth is really the south pole of its magnetic field ( the place where the field is directed downward into the Earth ) . The positions of the magnetic poles can be defined in at least two ways : locally or globally . The local definition is the point where the magnetic field is vertical . This can be determined by measuring the inclination . The inclination of the Earth 's field is 90 ° ( downwards ) at the North Magnetic Pole and - 90 ° ( upwards ) at the South Magnetic Pole . The two poles wander independently of each other and are not directly opposite each other on the globe . They can migrate rapidly : movements of up to 40 kilometres ( 25 mi ) per year have been observed for the North Magnetic Pole . Over the last 180 years , the North Magnetic Pole has been migrating northwestward , from Cape Adelaide in the Boothia Peninsula in 1831 to 600 kilometres ( 370 mi ) from Resolute Bay in 2001 . The magnetic equator is the line where the inclination is zero ( the magnetic field is horizontal ) . The global definition of the Earth 's field is based on a mathematical model . If a line is drawn through the center of the Earth , parallel to the moment of the best - fitting magnetic dipole , the two positions where it intersects the Earth 's surface are called the North and South geomagnetic poles . If the Earth 's magnetic field were perfectly dipolar , the geomagnetic poles and magnetic dip poles would coincide and compasses would point towards them . However , the Earth 's field has a significant non-dipolar contribution , so the poles do not coincide and compasses do not generally point at either .

This is a stream of charged particles leaving the Sun 's corona and accelerating to a speed of 200 to 1000 kilometres per second . They carry with them a magnetic field , the interplanetary magnetic field ( IMF ) . The solar wind exerts a pressure , and if it could reach Earth 's atmosphere it would erode it . However , it is kept away by the pressure of the Earth 's magnetic field . The magnetopause , the area where the pressures balance , is the boundary of the magnetosphere . Despite its name , the magnetosphere is asymmetric , with the sunward side being about 10 Earth radii out but the other side stretching out in a magnetotail that extends beyond 200 Earth radii . Sunward of the magnetopause is the bow shock , the area where the solar wind slows abruptly . Inside the magnetosphere is the plasmasphere , a donut - shaped region containing low - energy charged particles , or plasma . This region begins at a height of 60 km , extends up to 3 or 4 Earth radii , and includes the ionosphere . This region rotates with the Earth . There are also two concentric tire - shaped regions , called the Van Allen radiation belts , with high - energy ions ( energies from 0.1 to 10 million electron volts ( MeV ) ) . The inner belt is 1 -- 2 Earth radii out while the outer belt is at 4 -- 7 Earth radii . The plasmasphere and Van Allen belts have partial overlap , with the extent of overlap varying greatly with solar activity . As well as deflecting the solar wind , the Earth 's magnetic field deflects cosmic rays , high - energy charged particles that are mostly from outside the Solar system . ( Many cosmic rays are kept out of the Solar system by the Sun 's magnetosphere , or heliosphere . ) By contrast , astronauts on the Moon risk exposure to radiation . Anyone who had been on the Moon 's surface during a particularly violent solar eruption in 2005 would have received a lethal dose . Some of the charged particles do get into the magnetosphere . These spiral around field lines , bouncing back and forth between the poles several times per second . In addition , positive ions slowly drift westward and negative ions drift eastward , giving rise to a ring current . This current reduces the magnetic field at the Earth 's surface . Particles that penetrate the ionosphere and collide with the atoms there give rise to the lights of the aurorae and also emit X-rays . The varying conditions in the magnetosphere , known as space weather , are largely driven by solar activity . If the solar wind is weak , the magnetosphere expands ; while if it is strong , it compresses the magnetosphere and more of it gets in . Periods of particularly intense activity , called geomagnetic storms , can occur when a coronal mass ejection erupts above the Sun and sends a shock wave through the Solar System . Such a wave can take just two days to reach the Earth . Geomagnetic storms can cause a lot of disruption ; the `` Halloween '' storm of 2003 damaged more than a third of NASA 's satellites . The largest documented storm occurred in 1859 . It induced currents strong enough to short out telegraph lines , and aurorae were reported as far south as Hawaii . Time dependence ( edit ) Short - term variations ( edit ) Background : a set of traces from magnetic observatories showing a magnetic storm in 2000 . Globe : map showing locations of observatories and contour lines giving horizontal magnetic intensity in μ T . The geomagnetic field changes on time scales from milliseconds to millions of years . Shorter time scales mostly arise from currents in the ionosphere ( ionospheric dynamo region ) and magnetosphere , and some changes can be traced to geomagnetic storms or daily variations in currents . Changes over time scales of a year or more mostly reflect changes in the Earth 's interior , particularly the iron - rich core . Frequently , the Earth 's magnetosphere is hit by solar flares causing geomagnetic storms , provoking displays of aurorae . The short - term instability of the magnetic field is measured with the K - index . Data from THEMIS show that the magnetic field , which interacts with the solar wind , is reduced when the magnetic orientation is aligned between Sun and Earth -- opposite to the previous hypothesis . During forthcoming solar storms , this could result in blackouts and disruptions in artificial satellites . Secular variation ( edit ) Main article : Geomagnetic secular variation Estimated declination contours by year , 1590 to 1990 ( click to see variation ) . Strength of the axial dipole component of Earth 's magnetic field from 1600 to 2020 . Changes in Earth 's magnetic field on a time scale of a year or more are referred to as secular variation . Over hundreds of years , magnetic declination is observed to vary over tens of degrees . A movie on the right shows how global declinations have changed over the last few centuries . The direction and intensity of the dipole change over time . Over the last two centuries the dipole strength has been decreasing at a rate of about 6.3 % per century . At this rate of decrease , the field would be negligible in about 1600 years . However , this strength is about average for the last 7 thousand years , and the current rate of change is not unusual . A prominent feature in the non-dipolar part of the secular variation is a westward drift at a rate of about 0.2 degrees per year . This drift is not the same everywhere and has varied over time . The globally averaged drift has been westward since about 1400 AD but eastward between about 1000 AD and 1400 AD . Changes that predate magnetic observatories are recorded in archaeological and geological materials . Such changes are referred to as paleomagnetic secular variation or paleosecular variation ( PSV ) . The records typically include long periods of small change with occasional large changes reflecting geomagnetic excursions and reversals . Magnetic field reversals ( edit ) Geomagnetic polarity during the late Cenozoic Era . Dark areas denote periods where the polarity matches today 's polarity , light areas denote periods where that polarity is reversed . Main article : Geomagnetic reversal Although generally Earth 's field is approximately dipolar , with an axis that is nearly aligned with the rotational axis , occasionally the North and South geomagnetic poles trade places . Evidence for these geomagnetic reversals can be found in basalts , sediment cores taken from the ocean floors , and seafloor magnetic anomalies . Reversals occur nearly randomly in time , with intervals between reversals ranging from less than 0.1 million years to as much as 50 million years . The most recent geomagnetic reversal , called the Brunhes -- Matuyama reversal , occurred about 780,000 years ago . A related phenomenon , a geomagnetic excursion , amounts to an incomplete reversal , with no change in polarity . The Laschamp event is an example of an excursion , it having occurred during the last ice age ( 41,000 years ago ) . The past magnetic field is recorded mostly by strongly magnetic minerals , particularly iron oxides such as magnetite , that can carry a permanent magnetic moment . This remanent magnetization , or remanence , can be acquired in more than one way . In lava flows , the direction of the field is `` frozen '' in small minerals as they cool , giving rise to a thermoremanent magnetization . In sediments , the orientation of magnetic particles acquires a slight bias towards the magnetic field as they are deposited on an ocean floor or lake bottom . This is called detrital remanent magnetization . Thermoremanent magnetization is the main source of the magnetic anomalies around mid-ocean ridges . As the seafloor spreads , magma wells up from the mantle , cools to form new basaltic crust on both sides of the ridge , and is carried away from it by seafloor spreading . As it cools , it records the direction of the Earth 's field . When the Earth 's field reverses , new basalt records the reversed direction . The result is a series of stripes that are symmetric about the ridge . A ship towing a magnetometer on the surface of the ocean can detect these stripes and infer the age of the ocean floor below . This provides information on the rate at which seafloor has spread in the past . Radiometric dating of lava flows has been used to establish a geomagnetic polarity time scale , part of which is shown in the image . This forms the basis of magnetostratigraphy , a geophysical correlation technique that can be used to date both sedimentary and volcanic sequences as well as the seafloor magnetic anomalies . Studies of lava flows on Steens Mountain , Oregon , indicate that the magnetic field could have shifted at a rate of up to 6 degrees per day at some time in Earth 's history , which significantly challenges the popular understanding of how the Earth 's magnetic field works . This finding was later attributed to unusual rock magnetic properties of the lava flow under study , not rapid field change , by one of the original authors of the 1995 study . Temporary dipole tilt variations that take the dipole axis across the equator and then back to the original polarity are known as excursions . Earliest appearance ( edit ) Paleomagnetic studies of Paleoarchean lava in Australia and conglomerate in South Africa have concluded that the magnetic field has been present since at least about 3,450 million years ago . Future ( edit ) Variations in virtual axial dipole moment since the last reversal . At present , the overall geomagnetic field is becoming weaker ; the present strong deterioration corresponds to a 10 -- 15 % decline over the last 150 years and has accelerated in the past several years ; geomagnetic intensity has declined almost continuously from a maximum 35 % above the modern value achieved approximately 2,000 years ago . The rate of decrease and the current strength are within the normal range of variation , as shown by the record of past magnetic fields recorded in rocks . The nature of Earth 's magnetic field is one of heteroscedastic fluctuation . An instantaneous measurement of it , or several measurements of it across the span of decades or centuries , are not sufficient to extrapolate an overall trend in the field strength . It has gone up and down in the past for unknown reasons . Also , noting the local intensity of the dipole field ( or its fluctuation ) is insufficient to characterize Earth 's magnetic field as a whole , as it is not strictly a dipole field . The dipole component of Earth 's field can diminish even while the total magnetic field remains the same or increases . The Earth 's magnetic north pole is drifting from northern Canada towards Siberia with a presently accelerating rate -- 10 kilometres ( 6.2 mi ) per year at the beginning of the 20th century , up to 40 kilometres ( 25 mi ) per year in 2003 , and since then has only accelerated . Physical origin ( edit ) Main article : Dynamo theory The Earth 's magnetic field is believed to be generated by electric currents in the conductive material of its core , created by convection currents due to heat escaping from the core . However the process is complex , and computer models that reproduce some of its features have only been developed in the last few decades . Earth 's core and the geodynamo ( edit ) A schematic illustrating the relationship between motion of conducting fluid , organized into rolls by the Coriolis force , and the magnetic field the motion generates . The Earth and most of the planets in the Solar System , as well as the Sun and other stars , all generate magnetic fields through the motion of electrically conducting fluids . The Earth 's field originates in its core . This is a region of iron alloys extending to about 3400 km ( the radius of the Earth is 6370 km ) . It is divided into a solid inner core , with a radius of 1220 km , and a liquid outer core . The motion of the liquid in the outer core is driven by heat flow from the inner core , which is about 6,000 K ( 5,730 ° C ; 10,340 ° F ) , to the core - mantle boundary , which is about 3,800 K ( 3,530 ° C ; 6,380 ° F ) . The pattern of flow is organized by the rotation of the Earth and the presence of the solid inner core . The mechanism by which the Earth generates a magnetic field is known as a dynamo . The magnetic field is generated by a feedback loop : current loops generate magnetic fields ( Ampère 's circuital law ) ; a changing magnetic field generates an electric field ( Faraday 's law ) ; and the electric and magnetic fields exert a force on the charges that are flowing in currents ( the Lorentz force ) . These effects can be combined in a partial differential equation for the magnetic field called the magnetic induction equation : ∂ B ∂ t = η ∇ 2 B + ∇ × ( u × B ) ( \ displaystyle ( \ frac ( \ partial \ mathbf ( B ) ) ( \ partial t ) ) = \ eta \ nabla ^ ( 2 ) \ mathbf ( B ) + \ nabla \ times ( \ mathbf ( u ) \ times \ mathbf ( B ) ) ) ... where u is the velocity of the fluid ; B is the magnetic B - field ; and η = 1 / σμ is the magnetic diffusivity , which is inversely proportional to the product of the electrical conductivity σ and the permeability μ . The term ∂ B / ∂ t is the time derivative of the field ; ∇ is the Laplace operator and ∇ × is the curl operator . The first term on the right hand side of the induction equation is a diffusion term . In a stationary fluid , the magnetic field declines and any concentrations of field spread out . If the Earth 's dynamo shut off , the dipole part would disappear in a few tens of thousands of years . In a perfect conductor ( σ = ∞ ( \ displaystyle \ sigma = \ infty \ ; ) ) , there would be no diffusion . By Lenz 's law , any change in the magnetic field would be immediately opposed by currents , so the flux through a given volume of fluid could not change . As the fluid moved , the magnetic field would go with it . The theorem describing this effect is called the frozen - in - field theorem . Even in a fluid with a finite conductivity , new field is generated by stretching field lines as the fluid moves in ways that deform it . This process could go on generating new field indefinitely , were it not that as the magnetic field increases in strength , it resists fluid motion . The motion of the fluid is sustained by convection , motion driven by buoyancy . The temperature increases towards the center of the Earth , and the higher temperature of the fluid lower down makes it buoyant . This buoyancy is enhanced by chemical separation : As the core cools , some of the molten iron solidifies and is plated to the inner core . In the process , lighter elements are left behind in the fluid , making it lighter . This is called compositional convection . A Coriolis effect , caused by the overall planetary rotation , tends to organize the flow into rolls aligned along the north - south polar axis . A dynamo can amplify a magnetic field , but it needs a `` seed '' field to get it started . For the Earth , this could have been an external magnetic field . Early in its history the Sun went through a T - Tauri phase in which the solar wind would have had a magnetic field orders of magnitude larger than the present solar wind . However , much of the field may have been screened out by the Earth 's mantle . An alternative source is currents in the core - mantle boundary driven by chemical reactions or variations in thermal or electric conductivity . Such effects may still provide a small bias that are part of the boundary conditions for the geodynamo . The average magnetic field in the Earth 's outer core was calculated to be 25 gausses , 50 times stronger than the field at the surface . Numerical models ( edit ) Simulating the geodynamo requires numerically solving a set of nonlinear partial differential equations for the magnetohydrodynamics ( MHD ) of the Earth 's interior . Simulation of the MHD equations is performed on a 3D grid of points and the fineness of the grid , which in part determines the realism of the solutions , is limited mainly by computer power . For decades , theorists were confined to creating kinematic dynamo computer models in which the fluid motion is chosen in advance and the effect on the magnetic field calculated . Kinematic dynamo theory was mainly a matter of trying different flow geometries and testing whether such geometries could sustain a dynamo . The first self - consistent dynamo models , ones that determine both the fluid motions and the magnetic field , were developed by two groups in 1995 , one in Japan and one in the United States . The latter received attention because it successfully reproduced some of the characteristics of the Earth 's field , including geomagnetic reversals . Currents in the ionosphere and magnetosphere ( edit ) Electric currents induced in the ionosphere generate magnetic fields ( ionospheric dynamo region ) . Such a field is always generated near where the atmosphere is closest to the Sun , causing daily alterations that can deflect surface magnetic fields by as much as one degree . Typical daily variations of field strength are about 25 nanoteslas ( nT ) ( one part in 2000 ) , with variations over a few seconds of typically around 1 nT ( one part in 50,000 ) . Measurement and analysis ( edit ) Detection ( edit ) The Earth 's magnetic field strength was measured by Carl Friedrich Gauss in 1832 and has been repeatedly measured since then , showing a relative decay of about 10 % over the last 150 years . The Magsat satellite and later satellites have used 3 - axis vector magnetometers to probe the 3 - D structure of the Earth 's magnetic field . The later Ørsted satellite allowed a comparison indicating a dynamic geodynamo in action that appears to be giving rise to an alternate pole under the Atlantic Ocean west of S. Africa . Governments sometimes operate units that specialize in measurement of the Earth 's magnetic field . These are geomagnetic observatories , typically part of a national Geological survey , for example the British Geological Survey 's Eskdalemuir Observatory . Such observatories can measure and forecast magnetic conditions such as magnetic storms that sometimes affect communications , electric power , and other human activities . The International Real - time Magnetic Observatory Network , with over 100 interlinked geomagnetic observatories around the world has been recording the earths magnetic field since 1991 . The military determines local geomagnetic field characteristics , in order to detect anomalies in the natural background that might be caused by a significant metallic object such as a submerged submarine . Typically , these magnetic anomaly detectors are flown in aircraft like the UK 's Nimrod or towed as an instrument or an array of instruments from surface ships . Commercially , geophysical prospecting companies also use magnetic detectors to identify naturally occurring anomalies from ore bodies , such as the Kursk Magnetic Anomaly . Crustal magnetic anomalies ( edit ) A model of short - wavelength features of Earth 's magnetic field , attributed to lithospheric anomalies . Magnetometers detect minute deviations in the Earth 's magnetic field caused by iron artifacts , kilns , some types of stone structures , and even ditches and middens in archaeological geophysics . Using magnetic instruments adapted from airborne magnetic anomaly detectors developed during World War II to detect submarines , the magnetic variations across the ocean floor have been mapped . Basalt -- the iron - rich , volcanic rock making up the ocean floor -- contains a strongly magnetic mineral ( magnetite ) and can locally distort compass readings . The distortion was recognized by Icelandic mariners as early as the late 18th century . More important , because the presence of magnetite gives the basalt measurable magnetic properties , these magnetic variations have provided another means to study the deep ocean floor . When newly formed rock cools , such magnetic materials record the Earth 's magnetic field . Statistical models ( edit ) Each measurement of the magnetic field is at a particular place and time . If an accurate estimate of the field at some other place and time is needed , the measurements must be converted to a model and the model used to make predictions . Spherical harmonics ( edit ) See also : Multipole expansion Schematic representation of spherical harmonics on a sphere and their nodal lines . P is equal to 0 along m great circles passing through the poles , and along l - m circles of equal latitude . The function changes sign each ltime it crosses one of these lines . Example of a quadrupole field . This can also be constructed by moving two dipoles together . The most common way of analyzing the global variations in the Earth 's magnetic field is to fit the measurements to a set of spherical harmonics . This was first done by Carl Friedrich Gauss . Spherical harmonics are functions that oscillate over the surface of a sphere . They are the product of two functions , one that depends on latitude and one on longitude . The function of longitude is zero along zero or more great circles passing through the North and South Poles ; the number of such nodal lines is the absolute value of the order m . The function of latitude is zero along zero or more latitude circles ; this plus the order is equal to the degree l . Each harmonic is equivalent to a particular arrangement of magnetic charges at the center of the Earth . A monopole is an isolated magnetic charge , which has never been observed . A dipole is equivalent to two opposing charges brought close together and a quadrupole to two dipoles brought together . A quadrupole field is shown in the lower figure on the right . Spherical harmonics can represent any scalar field ( function of position ) that satisfies certain properties . A magnetic field is a vector field , but if it is expressed in Cartesian components X , Y , Z , each component is the derivative of the same scalar function called the magnetic potential . Analyses of the Earth 's magnetic field use a modified version of the usual spherical harmonics that differ by a multiplicative factor . A least - squares fit to the magnetic field measurements gives the Earth 's field as the sum of spherical harmonics , each multiplied by the best - fitting Gauss coefficient g or h . The lowest - degree Gauss coefficient , g , gives the contribution of an isolated magnetic charge , so it is zero . The next three coefficients -- g , g , and h -- determine the direction and magnitude of the dipole contribution . The best fitting dipole is tilted at an angle of about 10 ° with respect to the rotational axis , as described earlier . Radial dependence ( edit ) Spherical harmonic analysis can be used to distinguish internal from external sources if measurements are available at more than one height ( for example , ground observatories and satellites ) . In that case , each term with coefficient g or h can be split into two terms : one that decreases with radius as 1 / r and one that increases with radius as r . The increasing terms fit the external sources ( currents in the ionosphere and magnetosphere ) . However , averaged over a few years the external contributions average to zero . The remaining terms predict that the potential of a dipole source ( l = 1 ) drops off as 1 / r . The magnetic field , being a derivative of the potential , drops off as 1 / r . Quadrupole terms drop off as 1 / r , and higher order terms drop off increasingly rapidly with the radius . The radius of the outer core is about half of the radius of the Earth . If the field at the core - mantle boundary is fit to spherical harmonics , the dipole part is smaller by a factor of about 8 at the surface , the quadrupole part by a factor of 16 , and so on . Thus , only the components with large wavelengths can be noticeable at the surface . From a variety of arguments , it is usually assumed that only terms up to degree 14 or less have their origin in the core . These have wavelengths of about 2,000 kilometres ( 1,200 mi ) or less . Smaller features are attributed to crustal anomalies . Global models ( edit ) The International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy maintains a standard global field model called the International Geomagnetic Reference Field . It is updated every 5 years . The 11th - generation model , IGRF11 , was developed using data from satellites ( Ørsted , CHAMP and SAC - C ) and a world network of geomagnetic observatories . The spherical harmonic expansion was truncated at degree 10 , with 120 coefficients , until 2000 . Subsequent models are truncated at degree 13 ( 195 coefficients ) . Another global field model , called the World Magnetic Model , is produced jointly by the United States National Centers for Environmental Information ( formerly the National Geophysical Data Center ) and the British Geological Survey . This model truncates at degree 12 ( 168 coefficients ) with an approximate spatial resolution of 3,000 kilometers . It is the model used by the United States Department of Defense , the Ministry of Defence ( United Kingdom ) , the United States Federal Aviation Administration ( FAA ) , the North Atlantic Treaty Organization ( NATO ) , and the International Hydrographic Office as well as in many civilian navigation systems . A third model , produced by the Goddard Space Flight Center ( NASA and GSFC ) and the Danish Space Research Institute , uses a `` comprehensive modeling '' approach that attempts to reconcile data with greatly varying temporal and spatial resolution from ground and satellite sources . For users with higher accuracy needs , the United States National Centers for Environmental Information developed the Enhanced Magnetic Model ( EMM ) , which extends to degree and order 720 and resolves magnetic anomalies down to a wavelength of 56 kilometers . It was compiled from satellite , marine , aeromagnetic and ground magnetic surveys . The latest version , EMM2015 , includes data from The European Space Agency 's Swarm satellite mission . Biomagnetism ( edit ) Main article : Magnetoception Animals including birds and turtles can detect the Earth 's magnetic field , and use the field to navigate during migration . Some researchers have found that cows and wild deer tend to align their bodies north - south while relaxing , but not when the animals are under high - voltage power lines , suggesting that magnetism is responsible . Other researchers reported in 2011 that they could not replicate those findings using different Google Earth images . Researchers found out that very weak electromagnetic fields disrupt the magnetic compass used by European robins and other songbirds to navigate using the Earth 's magnetic field . Neither power lines nor cellphone signals are to blame for the electromagnetic field effect on the birds , according to the new study published in the 8 May 2014 edition of the journal Nature . Instead , the culprits consist of frequencies between 2 kHz and 5 MHz , such as AM radio signals and ordinary electronic equipment that might be found in businesses or private homes .

the earth’s magnetic field is the product of
[ "Earth's magnetic field, is also known as the geomagnetic field, is the magnetic field that extends from the Earth's interior out into space, where it meets the solar wind, a stream of charged particles emanating from the Sun. Its magnitude at the Earth's surface ranges from 25 to 65 microteslas (0.25 to 0.65 gauss).[3] Roughly speaking it is the field of a magnetic dipole currently tilted at an angle of about 11 degrees with respect to Earth's rotational axis, as if there were a bar magnet placed at that angle at the center of the Earth. The North geomagnetic pole, located near Greenland in the northern hemisphere, is actually the south pole of the Earth's magnetic field, and the South geomagnetic pole is the north pole. The magnetic field is generated by electric currents due to the motion of convection currents of molten iron in the Earth's outer core driven by heat escaping from the core, a natural process called a geodynamo." ]

Fatty acid metabolism
Fatty acid metabolism - wikipedia Fatty acid metabolism Jump to : navigation , search Fatty acid metabolism consists of catabolic processes that generate energy , and anabolic processes that create biologically important molecules ( triglycerides , phospholipids , second messengers , local hormones and ketone bodies ) . Fatty acids are a family of molecules classified within the lipid macronutrient class . One role of fatty acids in animal metabolism is energy production , captured in the form of adenosine triphosphate ( ATP ) . When compared to other macronutrient classes ( carbohydrates and protein ) , fatty acids yield the most ATP on an energy per gram basis , when they are completely oxidized to CO and water by beta oxidation and the citric acid cycle . Fatty acids ( mainly in the form of triglycerides ) are therefore the foremost storage form of fuel in most animals , and to a lesser extent in plants . In addition , fatty acids are important components of the phospholipids that form the phospholipid bilayers out of which all the membranes of the cell are constructed ( the cell wall , and the membranes that enclose all the organelles within the cells , such as the nucleus , the mitochondria , endoplasmic reticulum , and the Golgi apparatus ) . Fatty acids can also be cleaved , or partially cleaved , from their chemical attachments in the cell membrane to form second messengers within the cell , and local hormones in the immediate vicinity of the cell . The prostaglandins made from arachidonic acid stored in the cell membrane , are probably the most well known group of these local hormones . Contents ( hide ) 1 Fatty acid catabolism 1.1 Fatty acids as an energy source 1.2 Animals and plants synthesize carbohydrates from both glycerol and fatty acids 2 Other functions and uses of fatty acids 2.1 Intracellular signaling 2.2 Eicosanoid paracrine hormones 3 Dietary sources of fatty acids , their digestion , absorption , transport in the blood and storage 4 Fatty acid synthesis 4.1 Glycolytic end products are used in the conversion of carbohydrates into fatty acids 4.2 Regulation of fatty acid synthesis 5 Disorders 6 References Fatty acid catabolism ( edit ) A diagrammatic illustration of the process of lipolysis ( in a fat cell ) induced by high epinephrine and low insulin levels in the blood . Epinephrine binds to a beta - adrenergic receptor in the cell membrane of the adipocyte , which causes cAMP to be generated inside the cell . The cAMP activates a protein kinase , which phosphorylates and thus , in turn , activates a hormone - sensitive lipase in the fat cell . This lipase cleaves free fatty acids from their attachment to glycerol in the fat stored in the fat droplet of the adipocyte . The free fatty acids and glycerol are then released into the blood . However more recent studies have shown that adipose triglyceride lipase has to first convert triacylglycerides to diacylglycerides , and that hormone - sensitive lipase converts the diacylglycerides to monoglycerides and free fatty acids . Monoglycerides are hydrolyzed by monoglyceride lipase . The activity of hormone sensitive lipase is regulated by the circulation hormones insulin , glucagon , norepinephrine , and epinephrine , as shown in the diagram . A diagrammatic illustration of the transport of free fatty acids in the blood attached to plasma albumin , its diffusion across the cell membrane using a protein transporter , and its activation , using ATP , to form acyl - CoA in the cytosol . The illustration is , for diagrammatic purposes , of a 12 carbon fatty acid . Most fatty acids in human plasma are 16 or 18 carbon atoms long . A diagrammatic illustration of the transfer of an acyl - CoA molecule across the inner membrane of the mitochondrion by carnitine - acyl - CoA transferase ( CAT ) . The illustrated acyl chain is , for diagrammatic purposes , only 12 carbon atoms long . Most fatty acids in human plasma are 16 or 18 carbon atoms long . CAT is inhibited by high concentrations of malonyl - CoA ( the first committed step in fatty acid synthesis ) in the cytoplasm . This means that fatty acid synthesis and fatty acid catabolism can not occur simultaneously in any given cell . A diagrammatic illustration of the process of the beta - oxidation of an acyl - CoA molecule in the mitochodrial matrix . During this process an acyl - CoA molecule which is 2 carbons shorter than it was at the beginning of the process is formed . Acetyl - CoA , water and 5 ATP molecules are the other products of each beta - oxidative event , until the entire acyl - CoA molecule has been reduced to a set of acetyl - CoA molecules . Fatty acids are released , between meals , from the fat depots in adipose tissue , where they are stored as triglycerides , as follows : Lipolysis , the removal of the fatty acid chains from the glycerol to which they are bound in their storage form as triglycerides ( or fats ) , is carried out by lipases . These lipases are activated by high epinephrine and glucagon levels in the blood ( or norepinephrine secreted by sympathetic nerves in adipose tissue ) , caused by declining blood glucose levels after meals , which simultaneously lowers the insulin level in the blood . Once freed from glycerol , the free fatty acids enter the blood , which transports them , attached to plasma albumin , throughout the body . Long chain free fatty acids enter the metabolizing cells ( i.e. most living cells in the body except red blood cells and neurons in the central nervous system ) through specific transport proteins , such as the SLC27 family fatty acid transport protein . Red blood cells do not contain mitochondria and are therefore incapable of metabolizing fatty acids ; the tissues of the central nervous system can not use fatty acids , despite containing mitochondria , because long chain fatty acids ( as opposed to medium chain fatty acids ) can not cross the blood brain barrier into the interstitial fluids that bathe these cells . Once inside the cell long - chain - fatty - acid -- CoA ligase catalyzes the reaction between a fatty acid molecule with ATP ( which is broken down to AMP and inorganic pyrophosphate ) to give a fatty acyl - adenylate , which then reacts with free coenzyme A to give a fatty acyl - CoA molecule . In order for the acyl - CoA to enter the mitochondrion the carnitine shuttle is used : Acyl - CoA is transferred to the hydroxyl group of carnitine by carnitine palmitoyltransferase I , located on the cytosolic faces of the outer and inner mitochondrial membranes . Acyl - carnitine is shuttled inside by a carnitine - acylcarnitine translocase , as a carnitine is shuttled outside . Acyl - carnitine is converted back to acyl - CoA by carnitine palmitoyltransferase II , located on the interior face of the inner mitochondrial membrane . The liberated carnitine is shuttled back to the cytosol , as an acyl - CoA is shuttled into the matrix . Beta oxidation , in the mitochondrial matrix , then cuts the long carbon chains of the fatty acids ( in the form of acyl - CoA molecules ) into a series of two - carbon ( acetate ) units , which , combined with co-enzyme A , form molecules of acetyl CoA , which condense with oxaloacetate to form citrate at the `` beginning '' of the citric acid cycle . It is convenient to think of this reaction as marking the `` starting point '' of the cycle , as this is when fuel - acetyl - CoA - is added to the cycle , which will be dissipated as CO and H O with the release of a substantial quantity of energy captured in the form of ATP , during the course of each turn of the cycle . Briefly , the steps in beta oxidation ( the initial breakdown of free fatty acids into acetyl - CoA ) are as follows : Dehydrogenation by acyl - CoA dehydrogenase , yielding 1 FADH Hydration by enoyl - CoA hydratase Dehydrogenation by 3 - hydroxyacyl - CoA dehydrogenase , yielding 1 NADH + H Cleavage by thiolase , yielding 1 acetyl - CoA and a fatty acid that has now been shortened by 2 carbons ( forming a new , shortened acyl - CoA ) This beta oxidation reaction is repeated until the fatty acid has been completely reduced to acetyl - CoA or , in , the case of fatty acids with odd numbers of carbon atoms , acetyl - CoA and 1 molecule of propionyl - CoA per molecule of fatty acid . Each beta oxidative cut of the acyl - CoA molecule yields 5 ATP molecules . The acetyl - CoA produced by beta oxidation enters the citric acid cycle in the mitochondrion by combining with oxaloacetate to form citrate . This results in the complete combustion of the acetyl - CoA to CO and water . The energy released in this process is captured in the form of 1 GTP and 11 ATP molecules per acetyl - CoA molecule oxidized . This is the fate of acetyl - CoA wherever beta oxidation of fatty acids occurs , except under certain circumstances in the liver . In the liver oxaloacetate can be wholly or partially diverted into the gluconeogenic pathway during fasting , starvation , a low carbohydrate diet , prolonged strenuous exercise , and in uncontrolled type 1 diabetes mellitus . Under these circumstances oxaloacetate is hydrogenated to malate which is then removed from the mitochondrion to be converted into glucose in the cytoplasm of the liver cells , from where it is released into the blood . In the liver , therefore , oxaloacetate is unavailable for condensation with acetyl - CoA when significant gluconeogenesis has been stimulated by low ( or absent ) insulin and high glucagon concentrations in the blood . Under these circumstances acetyl - CoA is diverted to the formation of acetoacetate and beta - hydroxybutyrate . Acetoacetate , beta - hydroxybutyrate , and their spontaneous breakdown product , acetone , are frequently , but confusingly , known as ketone bodies ( as they are not `` bodies '' at all , but water - soluble chemical substances ) . The ketone bodies are released by the liver into the blood . All cells with mitochondria can take ketone bodies up from the blood and reconvert them into acetyl - CoA , which can then be used as fuel in their citric acid cycles , as no other tissue can divert its oxaloacetate into the gluconeogenic pathway in the way that this can occur in the liver . Unlike free fatty acids , ketone bodies can cross the blood - brain barrier and are therefore available as fuel for the cells of the central nervous system , acting as a substitute for glucose , on which these cells normally survive . The occurrence of high levels of ketone bodies in the blood during starvation , a low carbohydrate diet , prolonged heavy exercise and uncontrolled type 1 diabetes mellitus is known as ketosis , and , in its extreme form , in out - of - control type 1 diabetes mellitus , as ketoacidosis . The glycerol released by lipase action is phosphorylated by glycerol kinase in the liver ( the only tissue in which this reaction can occur ) , and the resulting glycerol 3 - phosphate is oxidized to dihydroxyacetone phosphate . The glycolytic enzyme triose phosphate isomerase converts this compound to glyceraldehyde 3 - phosphate , which is oxidized via glycolysis , or converted to glucose via gluconeogenesis . Fatty acids as an energy source ( edit ) Example of an unsaturated fat triglyceride . Left part : glycerol , right part from top to bottom : palmitic acid , oleic acid , alpha - linolenic acid . Chemical formula : C H O Fatty acids , stored as triglycerides in an organism , are an important source of energy because they are both reduced and anhydrous . The energy yield from a gram of fatty acids is approximately 9 kcal ( 37 kJ ) , compared to 4 kcal ( 17 kJ ) for carbohydrates . Since the hydrocarbon portion of fatty acids is hydrophobic , these molecules can be stored in a relatively anhydrous ( water - free ) environment . Carbohydrates , on the other hand , are more highly hydrated . For example , 1 g of glycogen can bind approximately 2 g of water , which translates to 1.33 kcal / g ( 4 kcal / 3 g ) . This means that fatty acids can hold more than six times the amount of energy per unit of storage mass . Put another way , if the human body relied on carbohydrates to store energy , then a person would need to carry 31 kg ( 67.5 lb ) of hydrated glycogen to have the energy equivalent to 4.6 kg ( 10 lb ) of fat . Hibernating animals provide a good example for utilizing fat reserves as fuel . For example , bears hibernate for about 7 months , and , during this entire period , the energy is derived from degradation of fat stores . Migrating birds similarly build up large fat reserves before embarking on their intercontinental journeys . Thus the young adult human 's fat stores average between about 10 -- 20 kg , but varies greatly depending on age , gender , and individual disposition . By contrast the human body stores only about 400 g of glycogen , of which 300 g is locked inside the skeletal muscles and is unavailable to the body as a whole . The 100 g or so of glycogen stored in the liver is depleted within one day of starvation . Thereafter the glucose that is released into the blood by the liver for general use by the body tissues , has to be synthesized from the glucogenic amino acids and a few other gluconeogenic substrates , which do not include fatty acids . Please note however that lipolysis releases glycerol which can enter the pathway of gluconeogenesis . Animals and plants synthesize carbohydrates from both glycerol and fatty acids ( edit ) Fatty acids are broken down to acetyl - CoA by means of beta oxidation inside the mitochondria , whereas fatty acids are synthesized from acetyl - CoA outside the mitochondria , in the cytosol . The two pathways are distinct , not only in where they occur , but also in the reactions that occur , and the substrates that are used . The two pathways are mutually inhibitory , preventing the acetyl - CoA produced by beta - oxidation from entering the synthetic pathway via the acetyl - CoA carboxylase reaction . It can also not be converted to pyruvate as the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex reaction is irreversible . Instead the acetyl - CoA produced by the beta - oxidation of fatty acids condenses with oxaloacetate , to enter the citric acid cycle . During each turn of the cycle , two carbon atoms leave the cycle as CO in the decarboxylation reactions catalyzed by isocitrate dehydrogenase and alpha - ketoglutarate dehydrogenase . Thus each turn of the citric acid cycle oxidizes an acetyl - CoA unit while regenerating the oxaloacetate molecule with which the acetyl - CoA had originally combined to form citric acid . The decarboxylation reactions occur before malate is formed in the cycle . Only plants possess the enzymes to convert acetyl - CoA into oxaloacetate from which malate can be formed to ultimately be converted to glucose . However acetyl - CoA can be converted to acetoacetate , which can decarboxylate to acetone ( either spontaneously , or by acetoacetate decarboxylase ) . It can then be further metabolized to isopropanol which is excreted in breath / urine , or by CYP2E1 into hydroxyacetone ( acetol ) . Acetol can be converted to propylene glycol . This converts to formate and acetate ( the latter converting to glucose ) , or pyruvate ( by two alternative enzymes ) , or propionaldehyde , or to L - lactaldehyde then L - lactate ( the common lactate isomer ) . Another pathway turns acetol to methylglyoxal , then to pyruvate , or to D - lactaldehyde ( via S-D - lactoyl - glutathione or otherwise ) then D - lactate . D - lactate metabolism ( to glucose ) is slow or impaired in humans , so most of the D - lactate is excreted in the urine ; thus D - lactate derived from acetone can contribute significantly to the metabolic acidosis associated with ketosis or isopropanol intoxication . L - Lactate can complete the net conversion of fatty acids into glucose . The first experiment to show conversion of acetone to glucose was carried out in 1951 . This , and further experiments used carbon isotopic labelling . Up to 11 % of the glucose can be derived from acetone during starvation in humans . The glycerol released into the blood during the lipolysis of triglycerides in adipose tissue can only be taken up by the liver . Here it is converted into glycerol 3 - phosphate by the action of glycerol kinase which hydrolyzes one molecule of ATP per glycerol molecule which is phosphorylated . Glycerol 3 - phosphate is then oxidized to dihydroxyacetone phosphate , which is , in turn , converted into glyceraldehyde 3 - phosphate by the enzyme triose phosphate isomerase . From here the three carbon atoms of the original glycerol can be oxidized via glycolysis , or converted to glucose via gluconeogenesis . Other functions and uses of fatty acids ( edit ) Intracellular signaling ( edit ) Chemical structure of the diglyceride 1 - palmitoyl - 2 - oleoyl - glycerol Fatty acids are an integral part of the phospholipids that make up the bulk of the plasma membranes , or cell membranes , of cells . These phospholipids can be cleaved into diacylglycerol ( DAG ) and inositol trisphosphate ( IP ) through hydrolysis of the phospholipid , phosphatidylinositol 4 , 5 - bisphosphate ( PIP ) , by the cell membrane bound enzyme phospholipase C ( PLC ) . An example of a diacyl - glycerol shown on the right . This DAG is 1 - palmitoyl - 2 - oleoyl - glycerol , which contains side - chains derived from palmitic acid and oleic acid . Diacylglycerols can also have many other combinations of fatty acids attached at either the C - 1 and C - 2 positions or the C - 1 and C - 3 positions of the glycerol molecule . 1 , 2 disubstituted glycerols are always chiral , 1 , 3 disubstituted glycerols are chiral if the substituents are different from each other . PIP cleavage to IP and DAG . IP initiates intracellular calcium release , while DAG activates PKC ( protein kinase C ) . Note : PLC ( phospholipase C ) is not an intermediate , as possibly suggested by the diagram , but is the enzyme that catalyzes the IP3 / DAG separation . Inositol trisphosphate ( IP ) functions as an intracellular second messenger , which initiates the intracellular release of calcium ions ( which activates intracellular enzymes , causes the release of hormones and neurotransmitters from the cells in which they are stored , and causes smooth muscle contraction when released by IP ) , and the activation of protein kinase C ( PKC ) , which is then translocated from the cell cytoplasm to the cell membrane . Although inositol trisphosphate , ( IP ) , diffuses into the cytosol , diacylglycerol ( DAG ) remains within the plasma membrane , due to its hydrophobic properties . IP stimulates the release of calcium ions from the smooth endoplasmic reticulum , whereas DAG is a physiological activator of protein kinase C ( PKC ) , promoting its translocation from the cytosol to the plasma membrane . PKC is a multifunctional protein kinase which phosphorylates serine and threonine residues in many target proteins . However PKC is only active in the presence of calcium ions , and it is DAG that increases the affinity of PKC for Ca and thereby renders it active at the physiological intracellular levels of this ion . Diacylglycerol and IP act transiently because both are rapidly metabolized . This is important as their message function should not linger after the message has been '' received '' by their target molecules . DAG can be phosphorylated to phosphatidate or it can be it can be hydrolysed to glycerol and its constituent fatty acids . IP is rapidly converted to into derivatives that that do not open calcium ion channels . Eicosanoid paracrine hormones ( edit ) Arachidonic acid Prostaglandin E - Alprostadil The prostaglandins are a group of physiologically active lipid compounds having diverse hormone - like effects in animals . Prostaglandins have been found in almost every tissue in humans and other animals . They are enzymatically derived from arachidonic acid a 20 - carbon polyunsaturated fatty acid . Every prostaglandin therefore contains 20 carbon atoms , including a 5 - carbon ring . They are a subclass of eicosanoids and form the prostanoid class of fatty acid derivatives . The prostaglandins are synthesized in the cell membrane by the cleavage of arachidonate from the phospholipids that make up the membrane . This is catalyzed either by phospholipase A acting directly on a membrane phospholipid , or by a lipase acting on DAG ( diacyl - glycerol ) . The arachidonate is then acted upon by the cyclooxygenase component of prostaglandin synthase . This forms a cyclopentane ring in roughly the middle of the fatty acid chain . The reaction also adds 4 oxygen atoms derived from two molecules of O . The resulting molecule is prostaglandin G which is converted by the hydroperoxidase component of the enzyme complex into prostaglandin H . This highly unstable compound is rapidly transformed into other prostaglandins , prostacyclin and thromboxanes . These are then released into the interstitial fluids surrounding the cells that have manufactured the eicosanoid hormone . If arachidonate is acted upon by a lipoxygenase instead of cyclooxygenase , Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids and leukotrienes are formed . They also act as local hormones . Prostaglandins were originally believed to leave the cells via passive diffusion because of their high lipophilicity . The discovery of the prostaglandin transporter ( PGT , SLCO2A1 ) , which mediates the cellular uptake of prostaglandin , demonstrated that diffusion alone can not explain the penetration of prostaglandin through the cellular membrane . The release of prostaglandin has now also been shown to be mediated by a specific transporter , namely the multidrug resistance protein 4 ( MRP4 , ABCC4 ) , a member of the ATP - binding cassette transporter superfamily . Whether MRP4 is the only transporter releasing prostaglandins from the cells is still unclear . The structural differences between prostaglandins account for their different biological activities . A given prostaglandin may have different and even opposite effects in different tissues . The ability of the same prostaglandin to stimulate a reaction in one tissue and inhibit the same reaction in another tissue is determined by the type of receptor to which the prostaglandin binds . They act as autocrine or paracrine factors with their target cells present in the immediate vicinity of the site of their secretion . Prostaglandins differ from endocrine hormones in that they are not produced at a specific site but in many places throughout the human body . Prostaglandins have two derivatives : prostacyclins and thromboxanes . Prostacyclins are powerful locally acting vasodilators and inhibit the aggregation of blood platelets . Through their role in vasodilation , prostacyclins are also involved in inflammation . They are synthesized in the walls of blood vessels and serve the physiological function of preventing needless clot formation , as well as regulating the contraction of smooth muscle tissue . Conversely , thromboxanes ( produced by platelet cells ) are vasoconstrictors and facilitate platelet aggregation . Their name comes from their role in clot formation ( thrombosis ) . Dietary sources of fatty acids , their digestion , absorption , transport in the blood and storage ( edit ) Dietary fats are emulsified in the duodenum by soaps in the form of bile salts and phospholipids , such as phosphatidylcholine . The fat droplets thus formed can be attacked by pancreatic lipase . Structure of a bile acid ( cholic acid ) , represented in the standard form , a semi-realistic 3D form , and a diagrammatic 3D form Diagrammatic illustration of mixed micelles formed in the duodenum in the presence of bile acids ( e.g. cholic acid ) and the digestion products of fats , the fat soluble vitamins and cholesterol . A significant proportion of the fatty acids in the body are obtained from the diet , in the form of triglycerides of either animal or plant origin . The fatty acids in the fats obtained from land animals tend to be saturated , whereas the fatty acids in the triglycerides of fish and plants are often polyunsaturated and therefore present as oils . These triglycerides , can not be absorbed by the intestine . They are broken down into mono - and di - glycerides plus free fatty acids ( but no free glycerol ) by pancreatic lipase , which forms a 1 : 1 complex with a protein called colipase ( also a constituent of pancreatic juice ) , which is necessary for its activity . The activated complex can work only at a water - fat interface . Therefore , it is essential that fats are first emulsified by bile salts for optimal activity of these enzymes . The digestion products consisting of a mixture of tri - , di - and monoglycerides and free fatty acids , which , together with the other fat soluble contents of the diet ( e.g. the fat soluble vitamins and cholesterol ) and bile salts form mixed micelles , in the watery duodenal contents ( see diagrams on the right ) . The contents of these micelles ( but not the bile salts ) enter the enterocytes ( epithelial cells lining the small intestine ) where they are resynthesized into triglycerides , and packaged into chylomicrons which are released into the lacteals ( the capillaries of the lymph system of the intestines ) . These lacteals drain into the thoracic duct which empties into the venous blood at the junction of the left jugular and left subclavian veins on the lower left hand side of the neck . This means that the fat soluble products of digestion are discharged directly into the general circulation , without first passing through the liver , as all other digestion products do . The reason for this peculiarity is unknown . A schematic diagram of a chylomicron . The chylomicrons circulate throughout the body , giving the blood plasma a milky , or creamy appearance after a fatty meal . Lipoprotein lipase on the endothelial surfaces of the capillaries , especially in adipose tissue , but to a lesser extent also in other tissues , partially digests the chylomicrons into free fatty acids , glycerol and chylomicron remnants . The fatty acids are absorbed by the adipocytes , but the glycerol and chylomicron remnants remain in the blood plasma , ultimately to be removed from the circulation by the liver . The free fatty acids released by the digestion of the chylomicrons are absorbed by the adipocytes , where they are resynthesized into triglycerides using glycerol derived from glucose in the glycolytic pathway . These triglycerides are stored , until needed for the fuel requirements of other tissues , in the fat droplet of the adipocyte . The liver absorbs a proportion of the glucose from the blood in the portal vein coming from the intestines . After the liver has replenished its glycogen stores ( which amount to only about 100 g of glycogen when full ) much of the rest of the glucose is converted into fatty acids as described below . These fatty acids are combined with glycerol to form triglycerides which are packaged into droplets very similar to chylomicrons , but known as very low - density lipoproteins ( VLDL ) . These VLDL droplets are handled in exactly the same manner as chylomicrons , except that the VLDL remnant is known as an intermediate - density lipoprotein ( IDL ) , which is capable of scavenging cholesterol from the blood . This converts IDL into low - density lipoprotein ( LDL ) , which is taken up by cells that require cholesterol for incorporation into their cell membranes or for synthetic purposes ( e.g. the formation of the steroid hormones ) . The remainder of the LDLs is removed by the liver . Adipose tissue and lactating mammary glands also take up glucose from the blood for conversion into triglycerides . This occurs in the same way as it does in the liver , except that these tissues do not release the triglycerides thus produced as VLDL into the blood . Adipose tissue cells store the triglycerides in their fat droplets , ultimately to release them again as free fatty acids and glycerol into the blood ( as described above ) , when the plasma concentration of insulin is low , and that of glucagon and / or epinephrine is high . Mammary glands discharge the fat ( as cream fat droplets ) into the milk that they produce under the influence of the anterior pituitary hormone prolactin . All cells in the body need to manufacture and maintain their membranes and the membranes of their organelles . Whether they rely for this entirely on free fatty acids absorbed from the blood , or are able to synthesize their own fatty acids from the blood glucose , is not known . The cells of the central nervous system will almost certainly have the capability of manufacturing their own fatty acids , as these molecules can not reach them through the blood brain barrier , while , on the other hand , no cell in the body can manufacture the required essential fatty acids which have to be obtained from the diet and delivered to each cell via the blood . Fatty acid synthesis ( edit ) Main article : Fatty acid synthesis Synthesis of saturated fatty acids via Fatty Acid Synthase II in E. coli Much like beta - oxidation , straight - chain fatty acid synthesis occurs via the six recurring reactions shown below , until the 16 - carbon palmitic acid is produced . The diagrams presented show how fatty acids are synthesized in microorganisms and list the enzymes found in Escherichia coli . These reactions are performed by fatty acid synthase II ( FASII ) , which in general contain multiple enzymes that act as one complex . FASII is present in prokaryotes , plants , fungi , and parasites , as well as in mitochondria . In animals , as well as some fungi such as yeast , these same reactions occur on fatty acid synthase I ( FASI ) , a large dimeric protein that has all of the enzymatic activities required to create a fatty acid . FASI is less efficient than FASII ; however , it allows for the formation of more molecules , including `` medium - chain '' fatty acids via early chain termination . Once a 16 : 0 carbon fatty acid has been formed , it can undergo a number of modifications , resulting in desaturation and / or elongation . Elongation , starting with stearate ( 18 : 0 ) , is performed mainly in the ER by several membrane - bound enzymes . The enzymatic steps involved in the elongation process are principally the same as those carried out by FAS , but the four principal successive steps of the elongation are performed by individual proteins , which may be physically associated . Step Enzyme Reaction Description ( a ) Acetyl CoA : ACP transacylase Activates acetyl CoA for reaction with malonyl - ACP ( b ) Malonyl CoA : ACP transacylase Activates malonyl CoA for reaction with acetyl - ACP ( c ) 3 - ketoacyl - ACP synthase Reacts priming acetyl - ACP with chain - extending malonyl - ACP . ( d ) 3 - ketoacyl - ACP reductase Reduces the carbon 3 ketone to a hydroxyl group ( e ) 3 - Hydroxyacyl ACP dehydrase Removes water ( f ) Enoyl - ACP reductase Reduces the C2 - C3 double bond . Abbreviations : ACP -- Acyl carrier protein , CoA -- Coenzyme A , NADP -- Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate . Note that during fatty synthesis the reducing agent is NADPH , whereas NAD is the oxidizing agent in beta - oxidation ( the breakdown of fatty acids to acetyl - CoA ) . This difference exemplifies a general principle that NADPH is consumed during biosynthetic reactions , whereas NADH is generated in energy - yielding reactions . ( Thus NADPH is also required for the synthesis of cholesterol from acetyl - CoA ; while NADH is generated during glycolysis . ) The source of the NADPH is two-fold . When malate is oxidatively decarboxylated by `` NADP - linked malic enzyme '' pyruvate , CO and NADPH are formed . NADPH is also formed by the pentose phosphate pathway which converts glucose into ribose , which can be used in synthesis of nucleotides and nucleic acids , or it can be catabolized to pyruvate . Glycolytic end products are used in the conversion of carbohydrates into fatty acids ( edit ) Main article : Citric acid cycle § Glycolytic end products are used in the conversion of carbohydrates into fatty acids In humans , fatty acids are formed from carbohydrates predominantly in the liver and adipose tissue , as well as in the mammary glands during lactation . The cells of the central nervous system probably also make most of the fatty acids needed for the phospholipids of their extensive membranes from glucose , as blood - born fatty acids can not cross the blood brain barrier to reach these cells . However , how the essential fatty acids , which mammals can not synthesize themselves , but are nevertheless important components of cell membranes ( and other functions described above ) reach them is unknown . The pyruvate produced by glycolysis is an important intermediary in the conversion of carbohydrates into fatty acids and cholesterol . This occurs via the conversion of pyruvate into acetyl - CoA in the mitochondrion . However , this acetyl CoA needs to be transported into cytosol where the synthesis of fatty acids and cholesterol occurs . This can not occur directly . To obtain cytosolic acetyl - CoA , citrate ( produced by the condensation of acetyl CoA with oxaloacetate ) is removed from the citric acid cycle and carried across the inner mitochondrial membrane into the cytosol . There it is cleaved by ATP citrate lyase into acetyl - CoA and oxaloacetate . The oxaloacetate is returned to mitochondrion as malate ( and then converted back into oxaloacetate to transfer more acetyl - CoA out of the mitochondrion ) . The cytosolic acetyl - CoA is carboxylated by acetyl CoA carboxylase into malonyl CoA , the first committed step in the synthesis of fatty acids . Regulation of fatty acid synthesis ( edit ) Acetyl - CoA is formed into malonyl - CoA by acetyl - CoA carboxylase , at which point malonyl - CoA is destined to feed into the fatty acid synthesis pathway . Acetyl - CoA carboxylase is the point of regulation in saturated straight - chain fatty acid synthesis , and is subject to both phosphorylation and allosteric regulation . Regulation by phosphorylation occurs mostly in mammals , while allosteric regulation occurs in most organisms . Allosteric control occurs as feedback inhibition by palmitoyl - CoA and activation by citrate . When there are high levels of palmitoyl - CoA , the final product of saturated fatty acid synthesis , it allosterically inactivates acetyl - CoA carboxylase to prevent a build - up of fatty acids in cells . Citrate acts to activate acetyl - CoA carboxylase under high levels , because high levels indicate that there is enough acetyl - CoA to feed into the Krebs cycle and produce energy . High plasma levels of insulin in the blood plasma ( e.g. after meals ) cause the dephosphorylation of acetyl - CoA carboxylase , thus promoting the formation of malonyl - CoA from acetyl - CoA , and consequently the conversion of carbohydrates into fatty acids , while epinephrine and glucagon ( released into the blood during starvation and exercise ) cause the phosphorylation of this enzyme , inhibiting lipogenesis in favor of fatty acid oxidation via beta - oxidation . Disorders ( edit ) Disorders of fatty acid metabolism can be described in terms of , for example , hypertriglyceridemia ( too high level of triglycerides ) , or other types of hyperlipidemia . These may be familial or acquired . Familial types of disorders of fatty acid metabolism are generally classified as inborn errors of lipid metabolism . These disorders may be described as fatty oxidation disorders or as a lipid storage disorders , and are any one of several inborn errors of metabolism that result from enzyme defects affecting the ability of the body to oxidize fatty acids in order to produce energy within muscles , liver , and other cell types .

during starvation the acetyl coa coming from β–oxidation of fatty acids forms
[ "In the liver oxaloacetate can be wholly or partially diverted into the gluconeogenic pathway during fasting, starvation, a low carbohydrate diet, prolonged strenuous exercise, and in uncontrolled type 1 diabetes mellitus. Under these circumstances oxaloacetate is hydrogenated to malate which is then removed from the mitochondrion to be converted into glucose in the cytoplasm of the liver cells, from where it is released into the blood.[10] In the liver, therefore, oxaloacetate is unavailable for condensation with acetyl-CoA when significant gluconeogenesis has been stimulated by low (or absent) insulin and high glucagon concentrations in the blood. Under these circumstances acetyl-CoA is diverted to the formation of acetoacetate and beta-hydroxybutyrate.[10] Acetoacetate, beta-hydroxybutyrate, and their spontaneous breakdown product, acetone, are frequently, but confusingly, known as ketone bodies (as they are not \"bodies\" at all, but water-soluble chemical substances). The ketone bodies are released by the liver into the blood. All cells with mitochondria can take ketone bodies up from the blood and reconvert them into acetyl-CoA, which can then be used as fuel in their citric acid cycles, as no other tissue can divert its oxaloacetate into the gluconeogenic pathway in the way that this can occur in the liver. Unlike free fatty acids, ketone bodies can cross the blood-brain barrier and are therefore available as fuel for the cells of the central nervous system, acting as a substitute for glucose, on which these cells normally survive.[10] The occurrence of high levels of ketone bodies in the blood during starvation, a low carbohydrate diet, prolonged heavy exercise and uncontrolled type 1 diabetes mellitus is known as ketosis, and, in its extreme form, in out-of-control type 1 diabetes mellitus, as ketoacidosis." ]

Fontanelle
Fontanelle - wikipedia Fontanelle Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the human anatomical feature . For other uses , see Fontanelle ( disambiguation ) . `` Soft spot '' redirects here . For the Clem Snide album , see Soft Spot . Fontanelle The skull at birth , showing the anterior and posterior fontanelles . The skull at birth , showing the lateral fontanelles . Details Identifiers Latin fonticuli cranii TA A02. 1.00. 027 FMA 75437 Anatomical terminology ( edit on Wikidata ) A fontanelle ( or fontanel ) ( colloquially , soft spot ) is an anatomical feature of the infant human skull comprising any of the soft membranous gaps ( sutures ) between the cranial bones that make up the calvaria of a fetus or an infant . Fontanelles allow for rapid stretching and deformation of the neurocranium as the brain expands faster than the surrounding bone can grow . Premature complete ossification of the sutures is called craniosynostosis . After infancy , the anterior fontanelle is known as the bregma . Contents ( hide ) 1 Structure 1.1 Closure 2 Clinical significance 2.1 Disease 2.1. 1 Fontanelles -- bulging 2.1. 2 Fontanelles -- sunken 2.1. 3 Fontanelles -- enlarged 3 In other animals 3.1 In dogs 4 Additional images 5 References Structure ( edit ) The skull of a baby consists of five main bones : two frontal bones , two parietal bones , and one occipital bone . These are joined by fibrous sutures , which allow movement that facilitates childbirth and brain growth . Posterior fontanelle is triangle - shaped . It lies at the junction between the sagittal suture and lambdoid suture . At birth , the skull features a small posterior fontanelle with an open area covered by a tough membrane , where the two parietal bones adjoin the occipital bone ( at the lambda ) . The posterior fontanelles ossify within 2 or 3 months after birth . This is called intramembranous ossification . The mesenchymal connective tissue turns into bone tissue . Anterior fontanelle is a diamond - shaped membrane - filled space located between the two frontal and two parietal bones of the developing fetal skull . It persists until approximately 18 months after birth . It is at the junction of the coronal suture and sagittal suture . The fetal anterior fontanelle may be palpated until 18 months . In cleidocranial dysostosis , however , it is often late in closing or may never close . Examination of an infant includes palpating the anterior fontanelle . Two smaller fontanelles are located on each side of the head , more anteriorly the sphenoidal or anterolateral fontanelle ( between the sphenoid , parietal , temporal , and frontal bones ) and more posteriorly the mastoid or posterolateral fontanelle ( between the temporal , occipital , and parietal bones ) . During birth , fontanelles enable the bony plates of the skull to flex , allowing the child 's head to pass through the birth canal . The ossification of the bones of the skull causes the anterior fontanelle to close over by 9 to 18 months . The sphenoidal and posterior fontanelles close during the first few months of life . The closures eventually form the sutures of the neurocranium . Other than the anterior and posterior fontanelles , the mastoid fontanelle and the sphenoidal fontanelle are also significant . Closure ( edit ) In humans , the sequence of fontanelle closure is as follows : The posterior fontanelle generally closes 2 to 3 months after birth ; The sphenoidal fontanelle is the next to close around 6 months after birth ; The mastoid fontanelle closes next from 6 to 18 months after birth ; and The anterior fontanelle is generally the last to close between 18 -- 24 months . Clinical significance ( edit ) The fontanelle may pulsate , and although the precise cause of this is not known , it is perfectly normal and seems to echo the heartbeat , perhaps via the arterial pulse within the brain vasculature , or in the meninges . This pulsating action is how the soft spot got its name -- fontanelle is borrowed from the old French word fontenele , which is a diminutive of fontaine , meaning `` spring '' . It is assumed that the term spring is used because of the analogy of the dent in a rock or earth where a spring arises . Parents may worry that their infant may be more prone to injury at the fontanelles . In fact , although they may colloquially be called `` soft - spots '' , the membrane covering the fontanelles is extremely tough and difficult to penetrate . Fontanelles allow the infant brain to be imaged using ultrasonography . Once they are closed , most of the brain is inaccessible to ultrasound imaging , because the bony skull presents an acoustic barrier . Disease ( edit ) Fontanelles -- bulging ( edit ) A very tense or bulging anterior fontanelle indicates raised intracranial pressure . Increased cranial pressure in infants may cause the fontanelles to bulge or the head to begin to enlarge abnormally . It can occur due to : Encephalitis -- swelling ( inflammation ) of the brain , most often due to infections Hydrocephalus -- a buildup of fluid inside the skull Meningitis -- infection of the membranes covering the brain Abusive Head Trauma ( AHT ) previously called Shaken Baby Syndrome Fontanelles -- sunken ( edit ) A sunken ( also called `` depressed '' ) fontanelle indicates dehydration or malnutrition . Baby anterior fontanelle 1 month Fontanelles -- enlarged ( edit ) The fontanelles may be enlarged , may be slow to close or may never close most commonly due to causes like : Down syndrome Hydrocephalus Intrauterine growth restriction ( IUGR ) Premature birth Rarer causes include : Achondroplasia Apert syndrome Cleidocranial dysostosis Congenital rubella Neonatal hypothyroidism Osteogenesis imperfecta Rickets In other animals ( edit ) In apes the fontanelles fuse soon after birth . In chimpanzees the anterior fontanelle is fully closed by 3 months of age . In dogs ( edit ) One of the more serious problems that can affect canines is known as an `` open fontanelle , '' which occurs when the skull bones at the top of the head fail to close . The problem is often found in conjunction with hydrocephalus , which is a condition in which too much fluid is found within and around the brain , placing pressure on the brain and surrounding tissues . Often the head will appear dome - shaped , and the open fontanelle is noticeable as a `` soft spot '' on the top of the dog 's head . The fluid - filled spaces within the brain , known as ventricles , also become swollen . The increased pressure damages or prevents the development of brain tissue . Not all open fontanelles are connected with hydrocephalus . In many young dogs the skull bones are not fused at birth , but instead will close slowly over a three - to six - month period . Occasionally these bones fail to close , but the dog is still healthy . In these cases , however , the dog 's owners need to be very careful , since any injury or bumps to the animal 's head could cause significant brain damage , as well as conditions like epilepsy .

It was released by SBK Records and Geffen Records on March 16 , 1990 . The collection is made up mostly of hip - hop and new jack swing styled tracks with several film score cues at the end . Track listing ( edit ) `` This Is What We Do '' - M.C.

Kevin Clash ) `` Turtle Rhapsody '' - Orchestra on the Half Shell Notes ( edit ) Turtle Power was re-released on the third Ninja Turtles soundtrack . Both parts of Splinter 's Tale differ from what was heard in the film . Part I Splinter pauses after he says `` ... she persuaded Yoshi to flee with me to America '' and picks up after an instrumental interlude with `` But Saki vowed vengeance ... '' . Part II features more dialog from the newly mutated infant turtles with a different voice actor . Turtle Rhapsody does not feature any of Raphael 's dialog from the film . When the soundtrack was released on cassette , the cassette was available in red , blue , orange , and purple - the four mask colors of the Turtles . Subsequent releases were in black . The soundtrack came with a sticker with art by Peter Laird of the turtles on a rooftop preparing to fight the Foot Soldiers that have them completely surrounded . This was eventually used as the cover art for both the comic book adaptation and the Game Boy game Fall of the Foot Clan . Both were released in 1990 . A lyric in Turtle Power states Raphael as the leader , as opposed to Leonardo whom the 1987 cartoon theme song attributes the position to . Shredder 's Suite was used by Shredder and the Foot Soldiers and WWE Wrestler Crush used the alternate title called Foot Clan References ( edit ) Jump up ^ Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles : The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack at AllMusic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Created by Kevin Eastman Peter Laird Characters ( appearances ) Turtles Leonardo Donatello Michelangelo Raphael Supporting Splinter Hamato Yoshi April O'Neil Casey Jones Leatherhead Metalhead Miyamoto Usagi Mighty Mutanimals Venus Antagonists Shredder Foot Clan Karai Baxter Stockman Bebop and Rocksteady Krang Purple Dragons Rat King Slash Tokka and Rahzar Comics Mirage comic series Tales of the TMNT TMNT Adventures Mighty Mutanimals Daily comic strip Dreamwave comics series IDW comic series Television 1987 series Episodes Season 1 Season 2 Season 3 Season 4 Season 5 Season 6 Season 7 Season 8 Season 9 Season 10 Mutant Turtles : Superman Legend Next Mutation Episodes Villains 2003 series Episodes Season 1 Season 2 Season 3 Season 4 Season 5 Season 6 Season 7 Turtles Forever Home video 2012 series Characters Episodes Season 1 Season 2 Season 3 Season 4 Season 5 Rise of the TMNT - Films Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ( 1990 ) soundtrack II : The Secret of the Ooze ( 1991 ) soundtrack III ( 1993 ) soundtrack TMNT ( 2007 ) soundtrack Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ( 2014 ) soundtrack Out of the Shadows ( 2016 ) Games Role - playing games Video games Other Action figures Lego Alien races Casey Jones ( fan film ) Food tie - ins Cartoon All - Stars to the Rescue `` Turtle Power !

Jane Campion originally offered the role of Robin to Anna Paquin , who had worked with her on The Piano ( 1993 ) . Paquin declined due to her pregnancy , and the role went to American Elisabeth Moss . The series was originally intended as a co-production with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation . But after Moss was cast as Robin , the network pulled their funding before production began , citing a prior agreement to put an Australian actress in the lead . Australian - based channel UKTV , owned by BBC Worldwide , filled the funding gap left by the ABC . Philippa Campbell was the New Zealand - based producer . Filming took 18 weeks and was shot entirely on location in Queenstown and Glenorchy , in Otago , on the South Island of New Zealand . While Queenstown is referred to during the series , Glenorchy doubles as the fictitious town of Laketop . The scenes in the women 's commune were filmed at Moke Lake . Top of the Lake : China Girl ( edit ) In early 2013 , co-creator Jane Campion said that Top of the Lake comes to a distinct ending , and there would be no additional series . Despite this , it was announced in October 2014 that the series had been renewed for a second season . China Girl began shooting on location in Sydney , Australia in December 2015 . Campion returned as co-writer and co-director . Gerard Lee returned as co-writer . The original co-director , Garth Davis , was replaced by Ariel Kleiman due to scheduling conflicts . Philippa Campbell returned as producer . Actress Nicole Kidman joined the cast for China Girl , which is the second time she has worked with Campion . Kidman `` plays an Australian mother , Julia , whose story dovetails with that of Detective Robin Griffin '' , played by Elisabeth Moss . Christie , a fan of Campion 's The Piano , joined the cast after sending a letter through a mutual friend . Release ( edit ) Top of the Lake screened in its entirety at the January 2013 Sundance Film Festival , in a single seven - hour session with one intermission and a break for lunch .

Four years after the events with Tui , Robin tries to adjust back to life in Sydney while dealing with residual PTSD from shooting Al Parker . Parker turned witness in the case of the paedophile ring in exchange for immunity , but has now filed a civil suit against Robin , claiming the shooting was personally motivated . Robin 's daughter , Mary , is now nearly 18 and exhibiting signs of mental instability that her adoptive parents worry is more than teen angst . Unbeknownst to her parents , Mary is dating a 42 - year - old German , Alexander , nicknamed `` Puss '' , who lives above a brothel , Silk 41 . Mary is enamoured with Puss , who claims to be `` empowering '' the young Asian prostitutes by teaching them English and other life lessons . Mary is aggressively rebelling and openly hostile against her adoptive parents , Pyke and Julia , who are getting a divorce after Julia came out as a lesbian . Pyke and Julia are appalled after meeting Puss , who informs them he plans to marry Mary . Robin 's new boss , Detective Sergeant Adrian Butler , brings a large stuffed panda to a young Asian woman . Brett , a socially awkward university student who frequents brothels , worries because he ca n't find a prostitute named Cinnamon , whom he believes is his girlfriend . Meanwhile , the suitcase washes up on Bondi Beach and it contains the decomposing body of a woman . Robin and a rookie constable , the awkward Miranda , are assigned to the case . 8 `` The Loved One '' Ariel Kleiman Jane Campion & Gerard Lee 3 August 2017 ( 2017 - 08 - 03 ) 2.38 A flashback reveals that four weeks earlier , Johnno was arrested on their wedding day after his pot farm was raided , and Robin left him after discovering he had cheated on her as well . Meanwhile , Tui is now raising her son at the women 's commune . In the present , Robin , who had three miscarriages while with Johnno , has nightmares about babies . Robin is obsessed with the case of the Asian Jane Doe found in the suitcase , dubbed `` China Girl , '' whose cause of death was possibly strangulation . With no matching reports from missing persons , they suspect she was working as a prostitute , possibly entering the country with a false passport . Robin and Miranda observe the autopsy , where the coroner learns that China Girl was about 17 weeks pregnant . An emotional Miranda leaves the autopsy when she sees the tiny foetus , and she later reveals she is 18 weeks pregnant . Robin is irritated by Miranda , but Adrian insists they work together , because nobody else will work with either of them . They visit brothels , which are legal in Sydney . Robin notices a large stuffed panda at one , Silk 41 , and asks Adrian what happened to the one he had in his office . He claims he gave it to his son . Brett goes to Silk 41 to find Cinnamon , and is eventually told she went to Canberra . He refuses to believe she would without telling him . Robin finally works up the courage to contact Mary , leaving a letter at the Edwards ' home . She first meets with Pyke and Julia at his office , and Julia angrily informs her that Mary 's behavioural problems began four years earlier , after she never received a reply to the letter she sent Robin . She chastises her for not having the decency to respond , and that Mary agonised over whether she had said something wrong in the letter . Julia storms off , but Pyke is more patient and listen as Robin explains she was just 16 years old when Mary was born . Robin is able to meet Mary , who behaves oddly and exhibits very low self - esteem . Mary reveals she assumed that she was the product of rape , which Robin confirms . Mary volunteers to murder her mother 's rapist , and Robin confesses that she never knew who the father was , being a victim of a gang rape . A DNA test on the male foetus reveals China Girl was not his biological mother , mystifying the pathologist . Robin , though , realises the dead girl was acting as a surrogate mother , changing the course of the investigation . 9 `` Surrogate '' Ariel Kleiman Jane Campion & Gerard Lee 10 August 2017 ( 2017 - 08 - 10 ) 1.97 Robin believes that China Girl was acting as an illegal surrogate , as the law states surrogates must be over 25 and have already had a child of their own , and thus the biological parents were working outside the normal system . She and Miranda visit a fertility clinic , where a doctor tells Robin that although many parents may be desperate enough to try illegal surrogacy , that would bring great risk as the law would side with the surrogate mother , who could decide to keep the child . Robin comes out to see Miranda arguing with the receptionist . Robin gets a lead after potentially finding the biological parents for whom China Girl was a surrogate , after a mentally unstable woman is wandering in traffic , crying about her missing baby . Robin visits the woman , Felicity , and her husband , Mike , in the psychiatric ward . Mike , who has a criminal record for cocaine possession , eventually agrees to take a DNA test . Robin is irritated by Miranda , who smokes and drinks despite her pregnancy , and who is now sleeping with Robin 's brother on top of having an affair with the married Adrian . Another detective , Stally , continues to make unwanted advances on Robin . After some investigating , Pyke and Julia confront Puss with the fact that he is already married , causing him to have a bizarre outburst in a restaurant and a further rift between them and Mary . Puss locks himself in his apartment and refuses to see Mary or any of the prostitutes in to see him . After being called by Pyke , Robin takes Mary to her apartment , where Mary breaks down because of Puss refusing to see her . Robin 's mediation with Al , now confined to a wheelchair , does not go as planned when he tries to kill her before it begins . 10 `` Birthday '' Ariel Kleiman Jane Campion & Gerard Lee 17 August 2017 ( 2017 - 08 - 17 ) 1.92 Puss manipulates Mary to start working as a prostitute when she turns 18 , mocking her for her privileged upbringing and implying she thinks she is better than her friends at the brothel . Pyke and Mary attend her school 's Daddy / Daughter dance , which he has been looking forward to . Mary at first stops to check on Puss , who talks his way into attending , claiming he is her `` Daddy . '' At the dance , he interrupts Pyke and Mary 's waltz and causes outrage when he begins dancing sexually with Mary , and is thrown out . Brett , who has seen the news about the Asian Jane Doe , contacts the police and gives them a photo of Cinnamon . Upset that the police consider him a suspect , Brett tells them about the creepy guy at the brothel . As he describes him , Robin fears he is talking about Mary 's boyfriend . Mary takes some of the prostitutes ( whom she claims are students ) to the beach with her , Pyke and Robin , to teach them how to swim . Puss comes along and , after noticing Robin 's air of hostility towards him , he brings up her rape , makes sexually suggestive remarks and then violently attacks her , biting her on the nose . Mary , screaming and hitting herself in the head , convinces Robin not to press charges . The DNA test reveals that Felicity and Mike are not the biological parents , but Robin is shocked to find out they have three young Asian women as surrogate mothers . Mary asks Dang to start working there , and Dang refuses . On Mary 's 18th birthday , Puss takes Mary to a hookers ' strip . She says she is afraid and he hits her in the face . He tells her that is worse than what any John will do to her , and now she does n't have to be afraid , and then leaves her there . Unable to complete the act , she is thrown out of a car by a John , and phones Robin for help . In Robin 's car , Mary sees the photo of Cinnamon , whom she recognises . Robin hints that Mary is in great danger . At Robin 's apartment , Mary breaks down crying , saying she does n't know how to leave him . 11 5 `` Who 's Your Daddy '' Jane Campion Jane Campion & Gerard Lee 24 August 2017 ( 2017 - 08 - 24 ) 1.69 Mary leaves the safety of Robin 's home to reconnect with Puss , who learns from her that Robin is looking into the murder of Cinnamon . Robin tells Pyke about picking Mary up from under the overpass . Pyke wants to kill Puss , and Robin says even she arrests him , she knows he wo n't be held long . Brett becomes further unhinged after identifying her Cinnamon 's body and begins suffering from hallucinations . Miranda has another crying spell at work and admits she fears her baby has died . They return to the same fertility clinic where Miranda shows the receptionist the photo of Cinnamon , and demands to know if she recognises her . Miranda informs her that the girl in the photo was not a student , but a sex worker , and then starts screaming that she wants an ultrasound . Robin takes her out to the beach to calm down , where Miranda reveals she is not actually pregnant and that her pregnancy is being done via surrogacy because of her own fertility issues . Miranda says their surrogate is pregnant with a daughter but has gone missing , and she fears it is because of a miscarriage . Miranda still insists that their surrogate was a student , but Robin asks if Adrian gave her a stuffed panda , because she saw one at Silk 41 . A doctor at the fertility clinic , unaware that the girls were sex workers , connects Robin with a couple who identify Cinnamon as their surrogate mother , whose real name was Pathma . With the assistance of Mary 's schoolfriend Michaela , Puss directs make some sort of `` art film '' with the prostitutes and Caucasian babies , set in a Thai village . Mary becomes worried when Caramel , another pregnant girl from Silk 41 , is taken away by Puss and Dang . Connected by concern over Mary and Puss , Robin and Pyke grow closer , much to Julia 's annoyance and jealousy . Brett , armed with a rifle , shows up at the brothel and demands to see Puss . Puss pushes Mary in front of him and escapes in the elevator as Brett fires the gun . 12 6 `` The Battle of the Mothers '' Ariel Kleiman Jane Campion & Gerard Lee 31 August 2017 ( 2017 - 08 - 31 ) 1.84 Robin and Pyke make love when she receives a late - night call from Mary . Nobody speaks , but Robin hears people arguing about a taxi fare and Mary screams before the phone is disconnected . Miranda calls and tells her there was a shooting at Silk 41 , and that the suspect is Brett Iles , who took Mary hostage . The taxi is found at Bondi Beach , with the taxi driver shot dead . Security footage from the brothel shows Puss escaping as Brett shot Bootie , before leaving with Mary . The security footage also shows another room , in which Miranda spots her surrogate . That room is not at the brothel , and none of the sex workers know its location . The next day , Pyke and Julia go to Mary 's school to appeal to her classmates for any information . Michaela tells them about a place on Liverpool Street called Stasi Cafe , where Mary first met Puss . The manhunt for Brett intensifies , but Robin is convinced he 's still on Bondi Beach , now packed with people . She notices an empty case of beer that was there the previous night . She and Miranda move in and try to quietly move beachgoers away from the box . One group refuses to move and distracts Robin while Miranda discovers a shoe sticking out from the sand . She kicks the box away to find Brett 's face peeking out , his eyes closed . Miranda moves in to check his pulse . Robin yells at Miranda to draw her weapon but she freezes . Brett suddenly pulls the rifle out of the sand and shoots Miranda in the abdomen . Robin jumps on him , her gun to his head , demanding to know where Mary is . Meanwhile , Mary shows up at home , unharmed . Crying , Julia begs her to stay , promising that she will change and try to understand her , but Mary leaves . Robin visits the hospital , where Miranda is in a coma , her outlook grim . Adrian vows to tell everyone he loves her , and begs Robin to find their surrogate . Robin finds Pyke at Stasi Cafe , where they kiss and embrace . He leaves after getting a text from Julia informing him that Mary 's passport is missing . Robin then finds Puss in the kitchen , where she cuts him with a kitchen knife . He claims that Cinnamon hanged herself . Robin puts her gun to his head and he discloses the address of the missing surrogates , giving her the key . She shows up to find not only Adrian but the other expectant couples , including Felicia and Mike , all of whom received calls from their surrogates . They find the apartment empty , with a DVD left behind . Meanwhile , Mary escorts the dozen or so surrogates through the airport . Puss shows up as they board the plane , and Mary , upset , tells him that she could have been shot while he fled . He lies and tells her the elevator doors closed and he could n't do anything . She asks what will happen to the babies and who will love them , and he tells them the `` people who made them '' will buy them back . She pulls away and he slaps her . She hits him back , over and over . Caramel calls for Mary , but she refuses to board and watches him leave . At the apartment , Adrian plays the DVD , which shows the video shot at the brothel of the Thai women with the babies . Puss narrates , mocking the parents , and accusing the West of exploiting the bodies of oppressed Asian women through prostitution and now surrogacy . He declares that their babies have flown away but each one will bring enough money to feed an entire poor village , as the video shows Bootie handing a bundle of cash in exchange for a white baby . Robin rushes to the airport , while the couples become hysterical , begging Adrian to call the airport and detain the women who are kidnapping their children . Adrian , stunned , tells them there is nothing that can be done legally , as the women can do whatever they want , even while pregnant with another mother 's child . Robin arrives at the airport and finds an empty gate , with just the stuffed panda . Mary , however , is safe with her parents . Robin arrives at the Edwards ' home , where Julia says she and Pyke are going to give it another try as a couple . Before she leaves , Robin asks if she can borrow the DVD Pyke told her about , showing Mary growing up . Julia protests and says it is their only copy , so Pyke says he will come pick it up as soon as Robin has finished watching it , which Robin says she will do that evening . Julia looks concerned , but says nothing . Later that night , Robin watches the video , crying happy tears , then looks up as she hears a knock on her door -- presumably from Pyke . Reception ( edit ) Reviews of Top of the Lake have been positive , referring to the series as `` masterfully made '' , `` beautiful '' , `` mysterious '' , `` riveting '' , and `` a masterpiece '' . It received a score of 86 out of 100 from Metacritic and a score of 93 per cent from Rotten Tomatoes . There were also some less positive reviews . Mike Hale of The New York Times criticized the `` elaborately introduced plotlines '' and described Tui 's disappearance as `` less a story element than a metaphor for the kind of armed resistance to male hegemony that constitutes the central idea of Ms Campion 's body of work . '' Top of the Lake was lauded by feminist critics for its explicit effort to analyse rape culture as well as its radical construction of narratives entirely foregrounding the experiences of single women .

It is the smallest denomination of banknote issued by the Bank of England . In September 2016 , a new polymer note was introduced , featuring the image of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse and a portrait of Winston Churchill on the reverse . The old paper note , first issued in 2002 and bearing the image of prison reformer Elizabeth Fry on the reverse , was phased out and ceased to be legal tender after 5 May 2017 .

The 5 pound note was introduced again , due to gold shortages caused by the French Revolutionary Wars and the Napoleonic Wars and was the lowest denomination of note issued until 1797 . The earliest notes were handwritten and were issued to individuals as needed . These notes were written on one side only and bore the name of the payee , the date and the signature of the issuing cashier . Restriction period ( edit ) In 1797 , due to the extra money need to fund the war and the uncertainty caused as Britain declared war on France , a series of bank runs drained the Bank of England of its gold supply . The Bank was forced to stop exchanging gold for notes and to issue notes of £ 1 and £ 2 denominations . This was known as the ' restriction period ' , as the exchange of notes for their value in gold was restricted . The Restriction Period ended in 1821 as the Government had to anchor the value of the currency to gold in order to control sharply rising inflation and national debt . After a brief period to offset any sudden deflation , the UK returned to the gold standard on 1 May 1821 . These notes could again 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 marked 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 five 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 . Move away from gold standard ( edit ) A white £ 5 note , issued in 1935 The right to redeem banknotes for gold ceased in 1931 , when Britain stopped using the gold standard . Metal thread was introduced on the £ 5 note in 1945 as a security feature . The printed black and white notes were replaced from 1957 onward by new , two - sided notes . The first two - sided £ 5 notes ( series B) were blue and featured a bust of Britannia on the front and a lion on the back . Series C notes , first introduced in 1963 , were the first notes to feature an image of the monarch on the front , with Britannia being relegated to the back . From 1971 onward , with the introduction of series D , a British historical figure was portrayed on the reverse : the soldier and statesman the Duke of Wellington in this case . Series E notes , first issued in 1990 , are multicoloured , although they are predominantly turquoise - blue . These notes feature a portrait of railway pioneer George Stephenson , as well as for the first time ' windowed ' metal thread ; this thread appears as a dashed line , yet forms a single line when held up to the light . 2002 varnish issue ( edit ) In 2002 , a problem was identified in which the serial numbers could be rubbed off of some notes . The problem was highlighted after six members of the public complained to The Bank of England ; the notes were stopped being distributed by the banks as of request by the Bank of England as well the Post Offices to stop issuing the new £ 5 notes . The Bank said the move was a `` precautionary measure while we carry out further tests and investigative work into what might have caused the fault and how widespread the problem is '' . The bank consequently did rigorous testing and found the problem to be that the serial numbers were printed over the varnish rather than under it allowing the ink to be removed if enough force was applied . The Bank started to varnish the notes in an attempt to make them last longer than previous notes which only had an estimated lifespan of nine months . A spokesman for the Bank of England said : `` The notes are still legal tender and the public should n't have a problem spending them in the shops . As long as shopkeepers check the anti-counterfeit measures , then the lack of serial numbers is not a problem . `` If members of the public are concerned , then they should take the notes back to the bank where they will be exchanged . '' Moving to polymer ( edit ) In April 2013 Sir Mervyn King announced on behalf of the bank that Elizabeth Fry would be replaced by Winston Churchill on the next £ 5 note which would enter circulation in 2016 . It was also announced that the images featured on the reverse would include a 1941 portrait of Churchill by Yusuf Karsh , a view of the Houses of Parliament , a quote by Churchill ( `` I have nothing to offer but blood , toil , tears and sweat '' ) and a background image of Churchill 's Nobel Prize in Literature , while the obverse would feature an image of Queen Elizabeth II . In December 2013 the Bank of England announced that the next £ 5 note would be printed on a polymer , rather than cotton paper . The bank cited that they would be `` cleaner , more secure and more durable '' . It was also said that the new polymer notes would be more environmentally friendly , lasting 2.5 times as long as cotton paper notes , according to the Bank 's own environmental testing . The note was introduced on 13 September 2016 , with an initial print run of 440 million notes ( worth £ 2.2 billion ) , over the period of co-circulation . It was announced that there would be a co-circulatory period with the old series E notes , and then on 5 May 2017 , the series E would cease to be legal tender . However , as with all Bank of England notes , they can be exchanged at face value at any time in the future . Controversy ( edit ) In November 2016 there was controversy when the Bank of England confirmed that the new notes contain traces of tallow in the new notes . According to an online petition on this issue , this is unacceptable to vegans , vegetarians , Hindus , Sikhs , Jains and other groups in the UK , and one Cambridge cafe boycotted the new note . The note 's manufacturer , Innovia Security , is looking into changing the recipe for the polymer used , so as to contain no animal products , which are added to polymer pellets at an early stage of production . However , on 10 August 2017 the Bank of England announced that all future notes , including future £ 5 note prints would continue the use of traces of tallow .

It eventually led to a thorough democratization of the country and to free and democratic elections . The demonstrations were caused by high unemployment , food inflation , corruption , a lack of political freedoms like freedom of speech and poor living conditions . The protests constituted the most dramatic wave of social and political unrest in Tunisia in three decades and resulted in scores of deaths and injuries , most of which were the result of action by police and security forces against demonstrators . The protests were sparked by the self - immolation of Mohamed Bouazizi on 17 December 2010 and led to the ousting of President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali 28 days later on 14 January 2011 , when he officially resigned after fleeing to Saudi Arabia , ending 23 years in power . Labour unions were an integral part of the protests . The Tunisian National Dialogue Quartet was awarded the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize for `` its decisive contribution to the building of a pluralistic democracy in Tunisia in the wake of the Tunisian Revolution of 2011 '' . The protests inspired similar actions throughout the Arab world , known as the Arab Spring .

In the Western media , these events have been dubbed the Jasmine Revolution or Jasmine Spring after Tunisia 's national flower and in keeping with the geopolitical nomenclature of `` color revolutions '' . The name `` Jasmine Revolution '' originated from American journalist Andy Carvin , but it was not widely adopted in Tunisia itself . In fact , the debate surrounding the name and the poetic influences behind the Tunisian revolution was a popular question among Tunisian intellectuals themselves as seen in the following article : Tunisia 's revolution of dignity and freedom can not be color - coded . The name adopted in Tunisia was the Dignity Revolution , which is a translation of the Tunisian Arabic name for the revolution ثورة الكرامة ( Thawrat al - Karāmah ) . Within Tunisia , Ben Ali 's rise to power in 1987 was also known as the Jasmine Revolution . Background ( edit ) President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali had ruled Tunisia since 1987 , mostly as a one - party state with the Democratic Constitutional Rally ( known as the RCD ) in power . His government was characterized by the development of Tunisia 's private sector in favor of foreign investment , and the repression of political opposition . Foreign media and NGOs criticized his government , which was supported by the United States and France . As a result , the initial reactions to Ben Ali 's abuses by the U.S. and France were muted , and most instances of socio - political protest in the country , when they occurred at all , rarely made major news headlines . Riots in Tunisia were rare and noteworthy , especially since the country is generally considered to be wealthy and stable as compared to other countries in the region . Any form of protests in the country were previously successfully repressed and kept silent by the former regime and protesters would be jailed for such actions , as were for example protests by hundreds of unemployed demonstrators in Redeyef in 2008 . Al Jazeera English also said that Tunisian activists are amongst the most outspoken in its part of the world with various messages of support being posted on Twitter for Bouazizi . An op - ed article in the same network said of the action that it was `` suicidal protests of despair by Tunisia 's youth . '' It pointed out that the state - controlled National Solidarity Fund and the National Employment Fund had traditionally subsidized many goods and services in the country but had started to shift the `` burden of providence from state to society '' to be funded by the bidonvilles , or shanty towns , around the richer towns and suburbs . It also cited the `` marginalisation of the agrarian and arid central and southern areas ( that ) continue ( s ) unabated . '' The protests were also called an `` uprising '' because of `` a lethal combination of poverty , unemployment and political repression : three characteristics of most Arab societies . '' Mohamed Bouazizi and Sidi Bouzid ( edit ) Twenty - six - year - old Mohamed Bouazizi had been the sole income earner in his extended family of eight . He operated a vegetable or apple cart ( the contents of the cart are disputed ) for seven years in Sidi Bouzid 190 miles ( 300 km ) south of Tunis . On 17 December 2010 , a female officer confiscated his cart and produce . Bouazizi , who had had such an event happen to him before , tried to pay the 10 - dinar fine ( a day 's wages , equivalent to 7USD ) . In response the policewoman insulted his deceased father and slapped him . The officer , Faida Hamdi , stated that she was not even a policewoman , but a city employee who had been tasked that morning with confiscating produce from vendors without licenses . When she tried to do so with Bouazizi a scuffle ensued . Hamdi says she called the police who then beat Bouazizi . A humiliated Bouazizi then went to the provincial headquarters in an attempt to complain to local municipality officials and to have his produce returned . He was refused an audience . Without alerting his family , at 11 : 30 am and within an hour of the initial confrontation , Bouazizi returned to the headquarters , doused himself with a flammable liquid and set himself on fire . Public outrage quickly grew over the incident , leading to protests . This immolation and the subsequent heavy - handed response by the police to peaceful marchers caused riots the next day in Sidi Bouzid that went largely unnoticed , although social media sites such as Facebook and YouTube featured images of police dispersing youths who attacked shop windows and damaged cars . Bouazizi was subsequently transferred to a hospital near Tunis . In an attempt to quell the unrest President Zine el Abidine Ben Ali visited Bouazizi in hospital on 28 December 2010 . Bouazizi died on 4 January 2011 .

These included descriptions of corruption and repression by the Tunisian regime . It is widely believed that the information in the Wikileaks documents contributed to the protests , which began a few weeks later . There were reports of police obstructing demonstrators and using tear gas on hundreds of young protesters in Sidi Bouzid in mid-December 2010 . The protesters had gathered outside regional government headquarters to demonstrate against the treatment of Mohamed Bouazizi . Coverage of events was limited by Tunisian media . On 19 December , extra police were present on the streets of the city . On 22 December , Lahseen Naji , a protester , responded to `` hunger and joblessness '' by electrocuting himself after climbing an electricity pylon . Ramzi Al - Abboudi also killed himself because of financial difficulties arising from a business debt by the country 's micro-credit solidarity programme . On 24 December , Mohamed Ammari was fatally shot in the chest by police in Bouziane . Other protesters were also injured , including Chawki Belhoussine El Hadri , who died later on 30 December . Police claimed they shot the demonstrators in `` self - defence . '' A `` quasi-curfew '' was then imposed on the city by police . Rapper El Général , whose songs had been adopted by protesters , was arrested on 24 December but released several days later after `` an enormous public reaction '' . Violence later increased as Tunisian authorities and residents of Sidi Bouzid Governorate encountered each other once again . The protests had reached the capital Tunis on 27 December with about 1,000 citizens expressing solidarity with residents of Sidi Bouzid and calling for jobs . The rally , which was called by independent trade union activists , was stopped by security forces . The protests also spread to Sousse , Sfax and Meknassy . The following day the Tunisian Federation of Labour Unions held another rally in Gafsa which was also blocked by security forces . At the same time about 300 lawyers held a rally near the government 's palace in Tunis . Protests continued again on the 29 December . On 30 December , police peacefully broke up a protest in Monastir while using force to disrupt further demonstrations in Sbikha and Chebba . Momentum appeared to continue with the protests on 31 December and further demonstrations and public gatherings by lawyers in Tunis and other cities following a call by the Tunisian National Lawyers Order . Mokhtar Trifi , president of the Tunisian Human Rights League ( LTDH ) , said that lawyers across Tunisia had been `` savagely beaten . '' There were also unconfirmed reports of another man attempting to commit suicide in El Hamma . On 3 January 2011 , protests in Thala over unemployment and a high cost of living turned violent . At a demonstration of 250 people , mostly students , in support of the protesters in Sidi Bouzid , police fired tear gas ; one canister landed in a local mosque . In response , the protesters were reported to have set fire to tyres and attacked the office of Constitutional Democratic Rally . Some of the more general protests sought changes in the government 's online censorship , where a lot of the media images have been broadcast . Tunisian authorities also allegedly carried out phishing operations to take control of user passwords and check online criticism . Both state and non-state websites had been hacked . On 6 January 95 % of Tunisia 's 8,000 lawyers went on strike , according to the chairman of the national bar association . He said `` The strike carries a clear message that we do not accept unjustified attacks on lawyers . We want to strongly protest against the beating of lawyers in the past few days . '' It was reported on the following day that teachers had also joined the strike . In response to 11 January protests police used riot gear to disperse protesters ransacking buildings , burning tires , setting fire to a bus and burning two cars in the working class suburb of Ettadhamen - Mnihla in Tunis . The protesters were said to have chanted `` We are not afraid , we are not afraid , we are afraid only of God . '' Military personnel were also deployed in many cities around the country . On 12 January , a reporter from the Italian state - owned television broadcaster RAI stated that he and his cameraman were beaten with batons by police during a riot in Tunis ' central district and that the officers then confiscated their camera . A night time curfew was also ordered in Tunis after protests and clashes with police . Hizb ut - Tahrir also organised protests after Friday prayer on 14 January to call for re-establishing the Islamic caliphate . A day later , it also organised other protests that went to the 9 April Prison to free political prisoners . Also on 14 January ( the same day that Ben Ali fled ) , Lucas Dolega , a photojournalist working for European Pressphoto Agency , was hit in the forehead by a tear gas canister allegedly fired by the police at short range ; he died two days later . The end of Ben Ali 's rule ( edit ) During a national television broadcast on 28 December , President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali criticized people for their protests calling the perpetrators `` extremists and mercenaries '' and warned of `` firm '' punishment . He also accused `` certain foreign television channels of broadcasting false allegations without verification , based on dramatization , fermentation and deformation by media hostile to Tunisia . '' His remarks were ignored and the protests continued . On 29 December , Zine El Abidine Ben Ali shuffled his cabinet to remove his communications minister Oussama Romdhani , while also announcing changes to the trade and handicrafts , religious affairs , communication and youth portfolios . The next day he also announced the dismissal of the governors of Sidi Bouzid , Jendouba and Zaghouan . In January 2011 , Ben Ali said 300,000 new jobs would be created , though he did not clarify what that meant . However , he also described the protests as `` the work of masked gangs that attacked at night government buildings and even civilians inside their homes in a terrorist act that can not be overlooked . '' Ahmed Najib Chebbi , the leader of the Progressive Democratic Party , then said that despite official claims of police firing in self - defense `` the demonstrations were non-violent and the youths were claiming their rights to jobs '' and that `` the funeral processions ( for those killed on 9 January ) turned into demonstrations , and the police fired ( at ) the youths who were at these ... processions . '' He then criticised Ben Ali 's comments as the protesters were `` claiming their civil rights , and there is no terrorist act ... no religious slogans , '' while accusing Ben Ali of `` looking for scapegoats . '' He further criticised the additional jobs offered as mere `` promises . '' Several webloggers and the rapper Hamada Ben Amor , better known by his stage name El Général , were arrested , but that the rapper and some of the bloggers were later released . Reporters Without Borders said the arrest of at least six bloggers and activists , who had either been arrested or had disappeared across Tunisia , was brought to their attention and that there were `` probably '' others . Tunisian Pirate Party activists Slah Eddine Kchouk , Slim Amamou ( later released , and eventually appointed Secretary of State for Sport and Youth by the incoming government ) and Azyz Amamy were arrested but later released . Hamma Hammami , the leader of the banned Tunisian Workers ' Communist Party and a prominent critic of Ben Ali , was arrested on 12 January , though he was released two days later . On 10 January , the government announced the indefinite closure of all schools and universities in order to quell the unrest . Days before departing office , Ben Ali announced that he would not change the present constitution , which was read as , in effect , promising to step down in 2014 due to his age . On 14 January , Ben Ali dissolved his government and declared a state of emergency . Officials said the reason for the emergency declaration was to protect Tunisians and their property . People were also barred from gathering in groups of more than three , otherwise courting arrest or being shot if they tried to run away . Ben Ali also called for an election within six months to defuse demonstrations aimed at forcing him out . France24 also said the military took control of the airport and closed the country 's airspace . On the same day , Ben Ali fled the country for Malta under Libyan protection and landed in Jeddah , Saudi Arabia , after France rejected a request for the plane to land on its territory . Saudi Arabia cited `` exceptional circumstances '' for their heavily criticised decision to give him asylum saying it was also `` in support of the security and stability of their country . '' The Saudi decision was `` not out of sympathy '' for Ben Ali ( who had long fought against Islamists in Tunisia ) . Saudi Arabia demanded Ben Ali remain `` out of politics '' as a condition for accepting him . Initial impact of Ben Ali 's overthrow ( edit ) Translation from French : Ben Ali out Following Ben Ali 's departure from the country , a state of emergency was declared . Army Commander Rashid Ammar pledged to `` protect the revolution . '' Prime Minister Mohamed Ghannouchi then briefly took over as acting President . On the morning of 15 January , Tunisian state TV announced that Ben Ali had officially resigned his position and Ghannouchi had handed over the Presidency to parliamentary speaker Fouad Mebazaa , with Ghannouchi returning to his previous position as Prime Minister . This was done after the head of Tunisia 's Constitutional Court , Fethi Abdennadher , declared that Ghannouchi did not have right to power , and confirmed Fouad Mebazaa as acting President under Article 57 of the Constitution . Mebazaa was given 60 days to organise new elections . Mebazaa said it was in the country 's best interest to form a National Unity government . INTERPOL confirmed that its National Central Bureau ( NCB ) in Tunis had issued a global alert via INTERPOL 's international network to seek the location of and arrest former Tunisian President Zine al - Abidine Ben Ali and six of his relatives . A commission to reform the constitution and current law in general was set up under Yadh Ben Achour . There were also calls by the opposition to delay the elections and hold them in six or seven months and with international supervision . Tunisian soldiers serving as gendarmes A Tunisian army tank deployed in front of the Cathedral of St. Vincent de Paul in Tunis Following Ben Ali 's departure , violence and looting continued and the national army was reported to be extensively deployed in Tunisia . The identity of the perpetrators has not been determined . A high official of the Tunisian military , however , also stated that elements loyal to former President Ben Ali have deployed across the country . The capital 's main train station was also torched . A prison director in Mahdia freed about 1,000 inmates following a prison rebellion that left 5 people dead . Many other prisons also had jail breaks or raids from external groups to force prisoner releases , some suspected to be aided by prison guards . Residents who were running out of necessary food supplies had armed themselves and barricaded their homes , even to the extent of having formed armed neighbourhood watches . Al Jazeera 's correspondent said there were apparently three different armed groups : the police ( 250,000 people of the country 's population were supposedly part of the police force ) , security forces from the Interior Ministry , and irregular militias supportive of Ben Ali who were vying for control . Gun battles took place near the Presidential Palace between the Tunisian army and elements of security organs loyal to the former regime after Ali Seriati , head of presidential security , was arrested and accused of threatening state security by fomenting violence . The Tunisian army was reportedly struggling to assert control . Gunfire continued in Tunis and Carthage as security services struggled to maintain law and order . The most immediate result of the protests was seen in increased internet freedoms . While commentators were divided about the extent to which the internet contributed to the ousting of Ben Ali from power , Facebook remained accessible to roughly 20 % of the population throughout the crisis whilst its passwords were hacked by a country - wide man - in - the - middle attack , YouTube and DailyMotion became available after Ben Ali 's ouster , and the Tor anonymity network reported a surge of traffic from Tunisia . Ghannouchi government 15 January - 27 February 2011 ( edit ) A protest by the General Labour Union Anti-RCD graffiti and vandalism 17 January - Ghannouchi announces his cabinet , including twelve members of the ruling RCD , the leaders of three opposition parties ( Mustapha Ben Jafar from the Democratic Forum for Labour and Liberties ( FTDL ) , Ahmed Brahim of the Ettajdid Movement , and Ahmed Najib Chebbi of the Progressive Democratic Party ) , three representatives from the Tunisian General Labour Union ( UGTT ) and representatives of civil society ( including prominent blogger Slim Amamou ) . Three notable movements not included in the national unity government were the banned Ennahda Movement , the communist Tunisian Workers ' Communist Party and the secular reformist Congress for the Republic . Daily protests begin against the presence of RCD members in the new government . Thousands of anti-RCD protesters rally in a protest with relatively little violence between security services and protestors . 18 January - Street protests against RCD participation in the new government include hundreds of people demonstrating in Tunis , Sfax , Gabes , Bizerta , Sousse and Monastir . The three members of the UGTT and Ben Jafaar of the FTDL quit it , saying that they had `` no confidence '' in a government that still featured members of the RCD party that ruled under Ben Ali . Mustapha Ben Jafar also refuses to take up his post . The interim President , Mebazaa , and Prime Minister Ghannouchi resign their memberships of the RCD in a bid to calm protests against the inclusion of RCD members in the government . Ghannouchi states that all members of the national unity government had `` clean hands . '' 19 January - Protests continue - with the demand that no `` former allies '' of Ben Ali should remain in the government , including hundreds of protestors marching in central Tunis and about 30 staging a sit - in near the Ministry of the Interior , ignoring a curfew . Protestors also called for the RCD to be disbanded . 20 January - Hundreds of people demonstrate outside the RCD headquarters in Tunis with the same aims , and protests in other towns around Tunisia are reported . Zouhair M'Dhaffer , a close confidant of Ben Ali seen as the main architect of the 2002 constitutional reform to lift term limits , resigns from the government . All other RCD ministers resign from the party on the same day and the central committee of the RCD disbands itself on that day . The new government announces in its first sitting that all banned parties would be legalised and that all political prisoners would be freed . It was unclear whether the ban on these parties and the ban on Hizb ut - Tahrir would be lifted until 12 March 2011 , when they were declared as banned again . The Ennahda Movement on the other hand , got a permit . 21 January - Thousands participate in protests outside the Interior Ministry . Ghannouchi commits to resigning after holding transparent and free elections within six months . 23 January - Thousands of police begin to join protests in Tunis over salaries and to deflect blame over political deaths attributed to them during Ben Ali 's rule . 24 January - As army chief Rachid Ammar announces that the armed forces are on the side of the protesters and would `` defend the revolution '' , rumours emerge that the government would be replaced by a council of `` wise men '' . 25 January - Protesters continue to defy a curfew in Tunis as reverberations continued around the region . 26 January - International arrest warrants issued for Ben Ali , his wife and several other members of his family . 27 January - Prime Minister Mohammed Ghannouchi reshuffles his government and announces a new cabinet . Six former members of the RCD party leave the interim government , including Defence Minister , Foreign Minister , Finance Minister and Interior Minister . Apart from the prime minister , the new government retained just two ministers from Ben Ali 's old government -- the industry and international cooperation ministers -- but neither of these had been a member of his ruling RCD party . This move was seen as meeting one of the demands of the protesters in Tunisia , and was supported by the UGTT , which stated its support for the reorganised cabinet . New ministers included independent state attorney Farhat Rajhi as interior minister , retired career diplomat Ahmed Ounaies as foreign minister and Elyes Jouini ( an economist living in France ) as minister delegate to the prime minister in charge of administrative and economic reform . 28 January - Hundreds of people camp beside Mohamed Ghannouchi 's office protesting against his remaining in the interim government . A student coordinating food distribution at the protests , Saifeddine Missraoui , stated , `` We are not leaving here until Ghannouchi leaves and we get a brand new government . '' Another protestor , Naim Garbousi from Casbah Media Relations , stated , `` The new line - up is a theatre . The symbols of the old regime are left , like Ghannouchi . Why is he insisting on staying ? We are 10 million people , there will surely be someone who can replace him . '' 2 February - Former interior minister , Rafik Belhaj Kacem arrested by his successor , Farhat Rajhi , concurrently with accusations of former allies of Ben Ali trying to destabilize the state . 3 February - All 24 regional governors are replaced . The Interior Ministry replaces 34 top - level security officials in a bid to bring change to the police , security services and spies that were a part of Ben Ali 's security infrastructure . The interim head of state Fouad Mebazaa promises a national dialogue to address protester demands . 4 February - Sidi Bouzid again the scene of protests despite the arrests of two security forces personnel for deaths of two . Several hundred people turned up at the local police station as a result of medical staff at a local hospital saying they found signs of burning on the victims ' bodies . On 5 February , protesters in El Kef called for the local police chief Khaled Ghazouani to be sacked for abusing his authority . Protesters threw stones and small firebombs as well as burned two cars , one of which was a police vehicle . Police first responded with tear gas and then fired on the protesters in which two people were killed immediately and two died in hospital , 15 others were also wounded . The region 's prefect Mohamed Najib Tlijali called for calm as the police chief was arrested. * 13 February - Foreign minister Ahmed Ounaies resigns over controversial praise he gave to French Foreign Minister Michele Alliot - Marie , who was being criticised for her ties to Ben Ali . Mouldi Kefi becomes the new foreign minister on 21 February . 6 February - The former ruling RCD 's activities are suspended to prevent a breakdown in state security , with an order for dissolution of the party pending . 7 February - Tunisia 's Defense Ministry calls up recently retired soldiers as the country is still struggling to contain unrest . Soldiers retired within the last five years , as well as those who had recently completed their mandatory military service , were asked to report for duty . First steps taken on a bill that would give the interim President , Fouad Mebazaa , emergency powers , allowing him to bypass the RCD - dominated parliament . 8 February - An agreement is reached between the interim government and the UGTT on nomination of new governors . 9 February - The bill to grant Fouad Mebazaa emergency powers is passed on 9 February . He states that all banned parties will be legalised within days . The bill also allows Mebazaa to ratify international human rights treaties without parliament ; He has previously stated Tunisia would accede to the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance , the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court , the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture and other Cruel , Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment , and the First and Second Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights ( which would mean abolishing the death penalty ) . 19 February - Protests flare up again , with 40,000 protesters demanding a new interim government completely free of any people associated with the old regime . Protesters also demand a parliamentary system of government instead of the current presidential one . Caid Essebsi government ( edit ) As a date was announced for an election in mid-July 2011 , more than 100,000 protesters continued to demand the removal of Ghannouchi as interim prime minister . 27 February - After an even larger rally Ghannouchi resigns , saying : `` After having taken more than one week of thinking , I became convinced , and my family shared my conviction , and decided to resign . It is not fleeing my responsibilities ; I have been shouldering my responsibilities since 14 January ( when Mr Ben Ali fled ) , '' and `` I am not ready to be the person who takes decisions that would end up causing casualties . This resignation will serve Tunisia , and the revolution and the future of Tunisia . '' Béji Caïd Essebsi becomes Prime Minister 28 February - Two more ministers resign ( industry minister Afif Chelbi and international co-operation minister Mohamed Nouri Jouini ) amid continuing protests for the entire interim government to resign , with the UGTT calling for an elected constituent assembly to write a new constitution . 1 March - The Ennahda Movement is legalised . The resignations of the Minister for Higher Education and Scientific Research Ahmed Brahim and the Minister of Local Development Ahmed Nejib Chebbi are officially announced by the Tunis Afrique Presse ( TAP ) agency . A private radio broadcaster Shems FM also reported that the Minister of Economic Reform Elyes Jouini had resigned as well . 3 March - President Mebazaa announces that elections to a Constituent Assembly would be held on 24 July 2011 ; this likely means that general elections will be postponed to a later date . This fulfilled a central demand of protesters . 7 March - The interim government announces that the secret police will be dissolved , one of the hallmarks of Ben Ali 's rule . 9 March - A court in Tunis announces the dissolution of the former ruling party , the Rally for Constitutional Democracy ( RCD ) , and the liquidation of its assets and funds , but the party said it would appeal the decision . 14 April - It is announced that Ben Ali will face 18 charges , including voluntary manslaughter and drug - trafficking . His family and former ministers are also going to face 26 further charges . 23 October - Tunisians vote for the first time post-revolution . The election appointed members to a Constituent Assembly charged with rewriting Tunisia 's Constitution . The formerly banned Islamic party Ennahda won by capturing 41 % of the total vote . Reactions ( edit ) Domestic ( edit ) Prime Minister Mohamed Ghannouchi 's government asked Saudi Arabia to extradite Ben Ali saying that `` following a new batch of charges against the ousted president regarding his involvement in several serious crimes aimed at perpetrating and inciting voluntary homicide and sowing discord between the citizens of the same country by pushing them to kill one another . '' Reports emerged on 18 February 2011 that Ben Ali had had a stroke and was gravely ill . Plans for a general amnesty were also announced on that day . Refugees ( edit ) In mid-February 2011 , about 4,000 mostly Tunisian refugees landed on the Italian island of Lampedusa , causing the authorities to declare a state of emergency that would allow for federal aid to the island . Interior Minister Roberto Maroni accused the EU of not doing enough to curb immigration and asked them to do more . He said that the `` Tunisian system was ' collapsing ' '' and that he would `` ask the Tunisian Foreign Ministry for permission for our authorities to intervene to stop the flow in Tunisia , '' suggesting Italian troops would be on Tunisian soil . He called the event a `` biblical exodus . '' The comments started a row between the two countries with the Tunisian Foreign Ministry saying it was ready to work with Italy and others but that it `` categorically rejects any interference in its internal affairs or any infringement of its sovereignty . '' In response , Italy 's Foreign Minister Franco Frattini said that both countries share a `` common interest '' to halt the immigration , while he also offered `` logistical help in terms of police and equipment . Until now the system of patrolling the coasts of Northern Africa has worked and we want to re-establish the technique , which had reduced illegal immigration to zero until a month ago . '' Tunisia then said that it had troops patrolling southern fishing ports and that checkpoints had been erected in coastal towns . By 14 February , at least 2,000 refugees had been sent to Sicily with the other 2,000 quarantined at a re-opened holding centre . On 2 March about 350 more people arrived on the island . In response Italy declared a humanitarian emergency . The International Organisation for Migration said that no new boats had been spotted . The EU 's Catherine Ashton was on a visit to Tunisia to discuss the issue . German Chancellor Angela Merkel said that `` not everyone who does not want to be in Tunisia can come to Europe . Rather , we need to talk to each other how we can strengthen the rule of law in Tunisia again and whether Europe can be of help . '' Other The national stock market , the TUNINDEX , fell on 12 January for a three consecutive day loss of 9.3 % . Following the curfew in Tunis , the market index again fell 3.8 % as the cost of protecting against a sovereign default in credit default swaps rose to its highest level in almost two years . Following Ghanoucchi and two other Ben Ali - era ministers resigning , the bourse was again suspended . International and non-state ( edit ) Main article : International reactions to the Tunisian revolution Demonstration in support of the Tunisian protests in Nantes , France , 15 January 2011 . Many governments and supranational organisations expressed concerns over use of force against protesters . France , the former colonial power of Tunisia , was one of just a few states that expressed strong support for the Ben Ali government prior to its ouster , though protests were held in solidarity with Tunisia in several French cities and the French Socialist Party voiced support for the popular revolution . Media and punditry ( edit ) `` The rest will follow '' . Symbolic middle finger gesture representing the Tunisian Revolution and its influences in the Arab world . From left to right , the fingers are painted as flags of Libya , Egypt , Tunisia , Sudan and Algeria . The red - painted hand may be interpreted as a symbol of revolution The protests and resultant political crisis have generally been called the Jasmine revolution ' only in the foreign media . Tunisian philosopher Youssef Seddik deemed the term inappropriate because the violence that accompanied the event was `` perhaps as deep as Bastille Day , '' and although the term was coined by the Tunisian journalist Zied El Hani , who first used it on his blog on 13 January and initially spread via social media such as Facebook ( hence `` Revolution Facebook '' amongst the youth of Tunisia ) , it is not in widespread use in Tunisia itself . The lack of coverage in the domestic state - controlled media was criticised . Writer / activist Jillian York alleged that the mainstream media , particularly in the Western world , was providing less coverage and less sympathetic coverage to the Tunisia protests relative to Iranian protests and the Green movement and China 's censorship . York alleged the `` US government -- which intervened heavily in Iran , approving circumvention technology for export and famously asking Twitter to halt updates during a critical time period -- has not made any public overtures toward Tunisia at this time . '' Despite criticism about the `` sparse '' level of coverage and `` little interest '' given to the demonstrations by the international media , the protests were hailed by some commentators as `` momentous events '' in Tunisian history . Brian Whitaker , writing in The Guardian , suggested on 28 December 2010 , that the protests would be enough to bring an end to Ben Ali 's presidency and noted similarities with the protests that led to the end of Nicolae Ceauşescu 's reign in Romania in 1989 , although Steven Cook , writing for the Council of Foreign Relations , notes that a tipping point is only obvious after the fact , and points to the counter-example of the 2009 - 2010 Iranian election protests . Ben Ali 's governing strategy was nevertheless regarded as in serious trouble , and Elliot Abrams noted both that demonstrators were able for the first time at the end of 2010 to defy the security forces and that the regime had no obvious successors outside of Ben Ali 's own family . The French management of the crisis came under severe criticism with notable silence in the mainstream media in the run - up to the crisis with its former protectorate with which it maintained friendly relations . Repercussion analysis ( edit ) Al Jazeera believed the ousting of the president meant the `` glass ceiling of fear has been for ever shattered in Tunisia and that the police state that Ben Ali created in 1987 when he came to power in a coup seems to be disintegrating '' , though it added that Ben Ali 's resignation , following his statement that he had been `` duped by his entourage '' may not entirely be sincere . Le Monde criticised French President Nicolas Sarkozy and the European Union 's `` Silence over the Tragedy '' when the unrest broke . The Christian Science Monitor suggested that mobile telecommunications played an influential role in the `` revolution . '' The revolt in Tunisia began speculation that the Tunisian Jasmine Revolution would lead to protests against the multiple other autocratic regimes across the Arab world . This was most famously captured in the phrase asking whether `` Tunisia is the Arab Gdańsk ? '' . The allusion refers to the Polish Solidarity movement and Gdańsk 's role as the birthplace of the movement that ousted Communism in Eastern Europe . The phrase appeared in outlets such as the BBC , as well as editorials by well known columnists Rami Khouri and Roger Cohen . Larbi Sadiki suggested that although `` conventional wisdom has it that ' terror ' in the Arab world is monopolised by al - Qaeda in its various incarnations '' , there was also the fact that `` regimes in countries like Tunisia and Algeria have been arming and training security apparatuses to fight Osama bin Laden ( but ) were ( still ) caught unawares by the ' bin Laden within ' : the terror of marginalisation for the millions of educated youth who make up a large portion of the region 's population . The winds of uncertainty blowing in the Arab west -- the Maghreb -- threaten to blow eastwards towards the Levant as the marginalised issue the fatalistic scream of despair to be given freedom and bread or death . '' A similar opinion by Lamis Ardoni carried by Al Jazeera said that the protests had `` brought down the walls of fear , erected by repression and marginalisation , thus restoring the Arab peoples ' faith in their ability to demand social justice and end tyranny . '' He also said that the protests that succeeded in toppling the leadership should serve as a `` warning to all leaders , whether supported by international or regional powers , that they are no longer immune to popular outcries of fury '' even though Tunisia 's ostensible change `` could still be contained or confiscated by the country 's ruling elite , which is desperately clinging to power . '' He called the protests the `` Tunisian intifada '' which had `` placed the Arab world at a crossroads . '' He further added that if the change was ultimately successful in Tunisia it could `` push the door wide open to freedom in Arab word ( sic ) . If it suffers a setback we shall witness unprecedented repression by rulers struggling to maintain their absolute grip on power . Either way , a system that combined a starkly unequal distribution of wealth with the denial of freedoms has collapsed . '' Similarly , Mark LeVine noted that the events in Tunisia could spiral into the rest of the Arab world as the movement was `` inspiring people ... to take to the streets and warn their own sclerotic and autocratic leaders that they could soon face a similar fate . '' He then cited solidarity protests in Egypt where protesters chanted `` Kefaya '' and `` We are next , we are next , Ben Ali tell Mubarak he is next ; '' and that Arab bloggers were supporting the movement in Tunisia as `` the African revolution commencing ... the global anti-capitalist revolution . '' He pointed to an article in al - Nahar that talked of an `` inhuman globalisation '' that had been imposed on the Arab world , however a `` human '' nationalism had not taken place . LeVine then accused the Obama administration in the United States of double standards when Clinton was in the region meeting with political and civil society leaders ; however , she responded to a question about the protests , saying `` We ca n't take sides '' , which was read as a failure to seize the `` reins of history '' and `` usher in a new era '' to `` defeat the forces of extremism '' without the violent conflict in the Afghanistan - Pakistan area . Pointing out Clinton 's remarks about regimes whose `` foundations are sinking into the sand '' and needed `` reform '' , LeVine argued that US foreign policy in the Middle East and the Muslim world was `` equally in danger of sinking into the sands if the President and his senior officials are not willing to get ahead of history 's suddenly accelerating curve . '' He added , `` It is the US and Europe , as much as the leaders of the region , who in Clinton 's words are in need of ' a real vision for that future . ' '' Finally he said there were two scenarios that could play out : `` a greater democratic opening across the Arab world , '' or a similar situation to Algeria in the early 1990s when the democratic election was annulled and the Algeria went into a civil war . Robert Fisk asked if this was `` The end of the age of dictators in the Arab world ? '' and partly answered the question in saying that Arab leaders would be `` shaking in their boots '' . He also pointed out that the `` despot '' Ben Ali sought refuge in the same place as the ousted Idi Amin of Uganda and that `` the French and the Germans and the Brits , dare we mention this , always praised the dictator for being a ' friend ' of civilised Europe , keeping a firm hand on all those Islamists . '' He notably pointed at the `` demographic explosion of youth '' of the Maghreb , though he said that the change brought about in Tunisia may not last . He thinks `` this is going to be the same old story . Yes , we would like a democracy in Tunisia -- but not too much democracy . Remember how we wanted Algeria to have a democracy back in the early Nineties ? Then when it looked like the Islamists might win the second round of voting , we supported its military - backed government in suspending elections and crushing the Islamists and initiating a civil war in which 150,000 died . No , in the Arab world , we want law and order and stability . '' He added that `` If it can happen in the holiday destination Tunisia , it can happen anywhere , ca n't it ? '' Blake Hounshell wrote on Foreign Policy.com that the Tunisian precedent raised the prospect of a `` new trend . There is something horrifying and , in a way , moving about these suicide attempts . It 's a shocking , desperate tactic that instantly attracts attention , revulsion , but also sympathy . '' Impact of the internet ( edit ) Further information : Internet § Politics and political revolutions The use of communication technologies , and the Internet in particular , has been widely credited as contributor to the mobilisation of protests . A blog associated with Wired described the intricate efforts of the Tunisian authorities to control such online media as Twitter and Facebook . Other regional regimes were also on higher alert to contain spillover effects that may ensue . On 11 March 2011 , Reporters Without Borders gave its annual award for online media freedom to the Tunisian blogging group Nawaat.org . Founded in 2004 , it played an important role rallying anti-government protesters by reporting on the protests which the national media ignored . Regional instability ( edit ) Main article : Arab Spring See also : Mohamed Bouazizi § Copycat incidents Bouazizi 's actions resonated across the region , with many others across the Arab world following suit . In January 2011 , the BBC reported : `` Clearly the self - immolation of Mohamed Bouazizi has resonated across the region ... ' There is great interest . The Egyptian people and the Egyptian public have been following the events in Tunisia with so much joy , since they can draw parallels between the Tunisian situation and their own . ' '' After the beginning of the uprising in Tunisia , similar protests took place in almost all Arab countries from Morocco to Iraq , as well as in other states , ranging from Gabon to Albania , Iran , Kazakhstan , United States , India and others . Following weeks of protests , Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak resigned on 11 February . Major protests against longtime Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi broke out on 17 February and quickly deteriorated into civil war , ultimately resulting in the downfall of the Gaddafi regime later in the year . Syria experienced a major uprising of people calling for the removal of President Bashar al - Assad . The Syrian uprising also deteriorated into a civil war , giving rise to the militant group , ISIS , and partly causing the current refugee crisis . In addition , Yemen , Bahrain , and Algeria have seen major protests . However , a financial analyst in Dubai suggested that `` the spillover effect of the political turbulence to the large countries in the Gulf Cooperation Council is non-existent as there are no similar drivers . '' Aftermath ( edit ) In mid-May 2013 , Tunisia banned the Salafist Ansar al - Sharia from carrying out party congresses . The day after the congress was due to be carried out , clashes between security forces and party supporters in Kairouan resulted in one death amid attempts to disperse those who wanted to carry out the events . The Tunisian president , Beji Caid Essebsi , renewed the state of emergency in October 2015 for three months due to previous terror attacks .

why is the tunisian revolution called the jasmine revolution
[ "In Tunisia and the wider Arab world, the protests and change in government are called the Revolution or sometimes the Sidi Bouzid Revolt, derived from Sidi Bouzid, the city where the initial protests began.[21][22] In the Western media, these events have been dubbed the Jasmine Revolution or Jasmine Spring[23] after Tunisia's national flower and in keeping with the geopolitical nomenclature of \"color revolutions\". The name \"Jasmine Revolution\" originated from American journalist Andy Carvin, but it was not widely adopted in Tunisia itself.[24] In fact, the debate surrounding the name and the poetic influences behind the Tunisian revolution was a popular question among Tunisian intellectuals themselves as seen in the following article: Tunisia's revolution of dignity and freedom cannot be color-coded. The name adopted in Tunisia was the Dignity Revolution, which is a translation of the Tunisian Arabic name for the revolution ثورة الكرامة (Thawrat al-Karāmah).[25] Within Tunisia, Ben Ali's rise to power in 1987 was also known as the Jasmine Revolution.[26][27]" ]

White , 74 U.S. 700 ( 1869 ) was a significant case argued before the United States Supreme Court in 1869 . The case involved a claim by the Reconstruction government of Texas that United States bonds owned by Texas since 1850 had been illegally sold by the Confederate state legislature during the American Civil War . The state filed suit directly with the United States Supreme Court , which , under the United States Constitution , retains original jurisdiction on certain cases in which a state is a party . In accepting original jurisdiction , the court ruled that , legally speaking , Texas had remained a United States state ever since it first joined the Union , despite its joining the Confederate States of America and its being under military rule at the time of the decision in the case . In deciding the merits of the bond issue , the court further held that the Constitution did not permit states to unilaterally secede from the United States , and that the ordinances of secession , and all the acts of the legislatures within seceding states intended to give effect to such ordinances , were `` absolutely null '' .

This ordinance was subsequently approved by both the state legislature and a statewide referendum . On January 11 , 1862 the state legislature approved the creation of a Military Board to address issues involved in the transition in the shift in loyalty from the United States to the Confederate States . Texas had received $10 million in United States bonds in settlement of border claims as part of the Compromise of 1850 . While many of the bonds were sold , there were still some on hand in 1861 . Needing money , the legislature authorized the sale of the remaining bonds . Existing state law required the Texas governor to sign his endorsement on any bonds which were sold , but the state feared that the sale price would be depressed if the United States Treasury refused to honor bonds sold by a Confederate state . The legislature therefore repealed the requirement for the governor 's endorsement in order to hide the origin of the bonds . Before the bonds were sold , a Texas Unionist notified the Treasury which ran a legal notice in the New York Tribune that it would not honor any bonds from Texas unless they were endorsed by the prewar governor ( Sam Houston ) . Despite the warning , 136 bonds were purchased by a brokerage owned by George W. White and John Chiles . Although this sale probably occurred earlier , the written confirmation of the transaction was not executed until January 12 , 1865 . The bonds were in the meantime resold to several individuals , one or more of whom were able to successfully redeem the bonds through the United States government . With the end of the war , President Andrew Johnson appointed a temporary governor , Andrew J. Hamilton , and ordered the state to create a new state constitution and form a state government loyal to the Union . James W. Throckmorton was elected governor under this process . Throckmorton was in office for a year before General Philip Sheridan , the military commander of the Military District of the Southwest , dismissed him for being an `` impediment to the reconstruction of the State '' , appointing Elisha M. Pease in his place . Pease was a Republican who had lost to Throckmorton in the election . John Chiles , who was being sued along with White , argued that he could not be sued because Texas lacked evidence . He claimed the bond documents were destroyed by soldiers and that there was no way to get them back . White believed therefore , that he should not have to reimburse Texas . As the United States Treasury Department became aware of the situation regarding the bonds , it refused to redeem those bonds sold by White and Chiles . After the state realized that it was no longer in possession of the bonds , it determined that the bonds had been sold illicitly to finance the rebellion against the United States . All three of the governors , in order to regain ownership of the bonds for the state , approved filing a lawsuit under Article III , Section 2 of the United States Constitution which granted original jurisdiction to the Supreme Court in all cases `` in which a State shall be a party . '' The case , filed on February 15 , 1867 , appeared on the docket as The State of Texas , Compt. , v. George W. White , John Chiles , John A. Hardenburg , Samuel Wolf , George W. Stewart , the Branch of the Commercial Bank of Kentucky , Weston F. Birch , Byron Murray , Jr. , and Shaw . Reconstruction politics ( edit ) By the time the suit was filed , Republicans in Congress , led by its radical faction , were opposing President Johnson 's leadership in reconstruction policy . Radicals opposed the creation of provisional state governments , and moderates were frustrated by a number of lawsuits instigated by provisional southern governors attempting to obstruct congressional reconstruction . Increasingly Republicans were abandoning Lincoln 's position that the states had never left the Union , preferring to treat the South as conquered provinces totally subject to Congressional rule . They hoped that the Supreme Court would reject jurisdiction in the case by claiming that there was no legally recognized government in Texas . Democrats , on the other hand , wanted the Court to acknowledge the existence of an official state government in Texas . Such a ruling would have the effect of accepting Texas as fully restored to its place in the Union and render the Military Reconstruction Act unconstitutional . Wall Street was also concerned with the case , being opposed to any actions that threatened bondholders and investors . Arguments ( edit ) Twelve attorneys represented Texas and the various defendants in the case . Arguments before the Supreme Court were made over three days on February 5 , 8 , and 9 , 1869 . State of Texas , plaintiff ( edit ) The complaint filed by Texas claimed ownership of the bonds and requested that the defendants turn the bonds over to the state . Texas ' attorneys disputed the legitimacy of the Confederate state legislature which had allowed the bonds to be sold . In response to an issue raised by the defendants , Texas differentiated between those acts of the legislature necessary `` to preserve the social community from anarchy and to maintain order '' ( such as marriages and routine criminal and civil matters ) and those ' designed to promote the Confederacy or that were in violation of the U.S. Constitution . '' Texas argued that it was a well established legal principle that if the original transfer to White and Chiles was invalid , then the subsequent transfers were also invalid . Chiles and White might be liable to such purchasers and any purchasers who had successfully redeemed the bonds were liable for a personal judgment in favor of the state for the amount they received . Defendants ( edit ) The attorneys for Chiles first raised the issue of jurisdiction . They claimed that the section of the Constitution granting the Supreme Court original jurisdiction did not apply . Texas ' current situation was not that of a state as contemplated by the Founders , but was that of a territory secured by military conquest . Residents of Texas were subject to military rule and had no representation in Congress and no constitutional rights . Chiles ' attorneys also argued that the sale of the bonds itself , even if conducted by a revolutionary government , were not in violation of the Constitution . Their sale was for the benefit of the people of the state , and the people , simply because they now had a different government , could not decide to invalidate the predecessor government 's actions . They rejected the notion that the people of the state and the state itself were legally separate entities . As long as the people had chosen to act through representatives it was irrelevant who those representatives were . James Mandeville Carlisle , the attorney for Hardenburg , argued that since his client had purchased his bonds on the open market in New York he had no way of knowing about any possible questions concerning the validity of his title . Carlisle further stated that the precedents recognizing that the decisions of the `` revolutionary '' government would be binding on any subsequent governments were `` universally admitted in the public law of nations . '' White 's attorney , P. Phillips , argued that if the bond sales were invalid , then all actions of the state government during the war were null and void . He stated that `` civilized government recognizes the necessity of government at all times . '' Phillips concluded his presentation by stating that if , in fact , Texas had acted illegally during the war then a subsequent government had no right to appeal that illegality to the Supreme Court . Decision ( edit ) Majority opinion ( edit ) The court 's opinion ( with five justices supporting and three dissenting ) was delivered on April 12 , 1869 , by Chief Justice Salmon Chase , a former U.S. Secretary of the Treasury under President Abraham Lincoln . He first addressed a procedural issue raised in the original filings claiming that the state lacked the authority to even prosecute the case . Chase ruled that the approval of any one of the three governors on the original bill submitted to the court was sufficient to authorize the action . Chase wrote that the original Union of the colonies had been made in reaction to some very real problems faced by the colonists . The first result of these circumstances was the creation of the Articles of Confederation which created a perpetual union between these states . The Constitution , when it was implemented , only strengthened and perfected this perpetual relationship . Chase wrote : Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase The Union of the States never was a purely artificial and arbitrary relation . It began among the Colonies , and grew out of common origin , mutual sympathies , kindred principles , similar interests , and geographical relations . It was confirmed and strengthened by the necessities of war , and received definite form and character and sanction from the Articles of Confederation . By these , the Union was solemnly declared to `` be perpetual . '' And when these Articles were found to be inadequate to the exigencies of the country , the Constitution was ordained `` to form a more perfect Union . '' It is difficult to convey the idea of indissoluble unity more clearly than by these words . What can be indissoluble if a perpetual Union , made more perfect , is not ? After establishing the origin of the nation , Chase next addressed Texas ' relationship to that Union . He rejected the notion that Texas had merely created a compact with the other states ; rather , he said it had in fact incorporated itself into an already existing indissoluble political body . From the decision : When , therefore , Texas became one of the United States , she entered into an indissoluble relation . All the obligations of perpetual union , and all the guaranties of republican government in the Union , attached at once to the State . The act which consummated her admission into the Union was something more than a compact ; it was the incorporation of a new member into the political body . And it was final . The union between Texas and the other States was as complete , as perpetual , and as indissoluble as the union between the original States . There was no place for reconsideration or revocation , except through revolution or through consent of the States . For these reasons , Texas had never been outside the Union and any state actions taken to declare secession or implement the Ordinance of Secession were null and void . The rights of the state itself , as well as the rights of Texans as citizens of the United States remained unimpaired . From the decision : Considered therefore as transactions under the Constitution , the ordinance of secession , adopted by the convention and ratified by a majority of the citizens of Texas , and all the acts of her legislature intended to give effect to that ordinance , were absolutely null . They were utterly without operation in law . The obligations of the State , as a member of the Union , and of every citizen of the State , as a citizen of the United States , remained perfect and unimpaired . It certainly follows that the State did not cease to be a State , nor her citizens to be citizens of the Union . If this were otherwise , the State must have become foreign , and her citizens foreigners . The war must have ceased to be a war for the suppression of rebellion , and must have become a war for conquest and subjugation . However , the state 's suspension of the prewar government did require the United States to put down the rebellion and reestablish the proper relationship between Texas and the federal government . These obligations were created by the Constitution in its grant of the power to suppress insurrections and the responsibility to insure for every state a republican form of government . From the decision : The authority for the performance of the first had been found in the power to suppress insurrection and carry on war ; for the performance of the second , authority was derived from the obligation of the United States to guarantee to every State in the Union a republican form of government . The latter , indeed , in the case of a rebellion which involves the government of a State and for the time excludes the National authority from its limits , seems to be a necessary complement to the former . Having settled the jurisdiction issue , Chase moved on to the question of who owned title to the bonds . In previous circuit court cases Chase had recognized the validity of legislative decisions intended solely to maintain peace and order within southern society . He had recognized the validity of `` marriage licenses , market transactions , and other day - to - day acts legally sanctioned by the Confederate state governments '' . However he clearly treated actions in furtherance of the war effort in a different light . From the decision : It is not necessary to attempt any exact definitions within which the acts of such a State government must be treated as valid or invalid . It may be said , perhaps with sufficient accuracy , that acts necessary to peace and good order among citizens , such for example , as acts sanctioning and protecting marriage and the domestic relations , governing the course of descents , regulating the conveyance and transfer of property , real and personal , and providing remedies for injuries to person and estate , and other similar acts , which would be valid if emanating from a lawful government must be regarded in general as valid when proceeding from an actual , though unlawful , government , and that acts in furtherance or support of rebellion against the United States , or intended to defeat the just rights of citizens , and other acts of like nature , must , in general , be regarded as invalid and void . Chase ruled that the state 's relationship with White and Chiles `` was therefore treasonable and void . '' Consequently , he ordered that the current state of Texas still retained ownership of the bonds and were entitled to either the return of the bonds or the payment of a cash equivalent from those parties who had successfully redeemed the bonds . Dissenting opinion ( edit ) Associate Justice Robert Grier Justice Robert Grier wrote a dissent in which he stated that he disagreed `` on all points raised and decided '' by the majority . Grier relied on the case Hepburn v. Ellzey in which Chief Justice John Marshall had defined a state as an entity entitled to representatives in both Congress and the Electoral College . Thus , Texas ' status had become more analogous to an Indian tribe than to a state . He also believed that the issue of Texas statehood was a matter for congressional rather than judicial determination , and he was `` not disposed to join in any essay to prove Texas to be a State of the Union when Congress had decided that she is not . '' Justice Grier said that Texas 's claim that she was not a state during the Civil War was the equivalent of making a `` plea of insanity '' and asking the court to now overrule all her acts `` made during the disease '' . Justices Noah Swayne and Samuel F. Miller also dissented . The dissenting justices rejected the majority opinion for different reasons . Grier , a `` doughface '' from Pennsylvania , was opposed to Radical Reconstruction and was primarily concerned with the bondholders . He felt that the Treasury lost any control over the bonds immediately after they were issued . Miller and Swayne were more sympathetic than Chase to the radical position . In a separate dissent they agreed with the majority that the bonds had been sold illegally by the secessionist government , but agreed with Grier that the current state of Texas was not a state within the meaning of the Constitution . Reaction ( edit ) The Court 's decision , written by Chase , was criticized by both sides . Radical Republicans saw this as evidence that Chase was abandoning a cause he had once enthusiastically supported . Conservatives condemned Chase for a decision that would allow congressional reconstruction to continue . In December , Lyman Trumbull , using the Miller -- Swayne dissent as his model , introduced legislation to overcome the White decision . Trumbull 's bill stated that `` under the Constitution , the judicial power of the United States does not embrace political power , or give to judicial tribunals any authority to question the political departments of the Government on political questions '' . In a direct attack on Chase 's position the bill stipulated that `` it rests with Congress to decide what Government is the established one in a State , and that it is hereby , in accordance with former legislation , declared that no civil State Government exists in Virginia , Mississippi , or Texas . '' The legislation was defeated by the more conservative members of Congress . Aleksandar Pavković and Peter Radan in Creating New States : Theory and Practice of Secession `` hold that the entry ' There was no place for reconsideration or revocation , except through revolution or through consent of the States ' was not surprising . Given that the United States was born from revolution , Chase 's words echo what had been stated by many legal scholars and politicians of the day , including Abraham Lincoln and Daniel Webster .
