When Harry 's Aunt Marge insults his parents , he loses his temper and silently wills her to bloat up and float away . Fed up , Harry then flees the Dursleys with his luggage . The Knight Bus delivers Harry to the Leaky Cauldron , where he is pardoned by Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge for using magic outside of Hogwarts . After reuniting with his best friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger , Harry learns that Sirius Black , a convicted supporter of the dark wizard Lord Voldemort , has escaped Azkaban prison and intends to kill Harry . The trio return to Hogwarts for the school year on the Hogwarts Express , only for dementors to suddenly board the train , searching for Sirius . One enters the trio 's compartment , causing Harry to pass out , but new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher Professor Lupin repels the dementor with a Patronus Charm . At Hogwarts , headmaster Albus Dumbledore announces that dementors will be guarding the school while Sirius is at large . Hogwarts groundskeeper Rubeus Hagrid is announced as the new Care of Magical Creatures teacher ; his first class goes awry when Draco Malfoy deliberately provokes the hippogriff Buckbeak , who attacks him . Draco exaggerates his injury , and his father Lucius Malfoy later has Buckbeak sentenced to death . The Fat Lady 's portrait , which guards the Gryffindor quarters , is found ruined and empty . Terrified and hiding in another painting , she tells Dumbledore that Sirius has entered the castle . During a stormy Quidditch match against Hufflepuff , dementors attack Harry , causing him to fall off his broomstick . At Hogsmeade , Harry is shocked to learn that not only had Sirius been his father 's best friend and apparently betrayed them to Voldemort , but is also Harry 's godfather . Lupin privately teaches Harry to defend himself against dementors , using the Patronus Charm . After Harry , Ron , and Hermione witness Buckbeak 's execution , Ron 's pet rat Scabbers bites him and escapes . When Ron gives chase , a large dog appears and drags both Ron and Scabbers into a hole at the Whomping Willow 's base . This leads the trio to an underground passage of the Shrieking Shack , where they discover that the dog is actually Sirius , who is an Animagus . Lupin arrives and embraces Sirius as an old friend . He admits to being a werewolf , and explains that Sirius is innocent . Sirius was falsely accused of betraying the Potters to Voldemort , as well as murdering twelve Muggles and their mutual friend , Peter Pettigrew . It is revealed that Scabbers is actually Pettigrew , an Animagus who betrayed the Potters and committed the murders . After forcing him back into human form , Lupin and Sirius prepare to kill him , but Harry convinces them to turn Pettigrew over to the dementors . As the group departs , the full moon rises and Lupin transforms into a werewolf . Sirius transforms into his dog form to fight him off . In the midst of the chaos , Pettigrew transforms back into a rat and escapes . Harry and Sirius are attacked by dementors , and Harry sees a figure in the distance save them by casting a powerful Patronus spell . He believes the mysterious figure is his deceased father before passing out . He awakens to discover that Sirius has been captured and sentenced to the Dementor 's Kiss . Acting on Dumbledore 's advice , Harry and Hermione travel back in time with Hermione 's Time Turner , and watch themselves and Ron repeat the night 's events . They save Buckbeak from execution and witness the Dementors overpower Harry and Sirius . The present Harry realises that it was actually him who conjured the Patronus , and does so again . Harry and Hermione rescue Sirius , who escapes with Buckbeak . Exposed as a werewolf , Lupin resigns from teaching to prevent an uproar from parents . Sirius sends Harry a Firebolt broom , who happily takes it for a ride . Cast ( edit ) Further information : List of Harry Potter cast members Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter , a 13 - year - old British wizard famous for surviving his parents ' murder at the hands of the evil dark wizard Lord Voldemort as an infant , who now enters his third year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry . Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley , Harry 's best friend at Hogwarts . Emma Watson as Hermione Granger , Harry 's Muggle - born best friend and the trio 's brains . Julie Christie as Madam Rosmerta , the short - tempered landlady of the Three Broomsticks pub in Hogsmeade . Robbie Coltrane as Rubeus Hagrid , the gamekeeper and new Care of Magical Creatures teacher at Hogwarts . Michael Gambon as Albus Dumbledore , the headmaster of Hogwarts and one of the greatest wizards of the age . Gambon assumed the role after Richard Harris , who played Dumbledore in the previous two films , died on 25 October 2002 , 3 weeks before the 2nd film 's release . Despite his illness , Harris was determined to film his part , telling a visiting David Heyman not to recast the role . Four months after Harris 's death , Cuarón chose Gambon as his replacement . Gambon was unconcerned with bettering or copying Harris , instead giving his own interpretation , putting on a slight Irish accent for the role , as well as completing his scenes in three weeks . Rumours of Ian McKellen being offered the role started to spread , but when asked he rejected the rumours and stated he had played a similar character in Gandalf of The Lord of the Rings trilogy . He also stated it would have been inappropriate to take Harris 's role , as the late actor had called McKellen a `` dreadful '' actor . Harris 's family had expressed an interest in seeing Harris 's close friend Peter O'Toole being chosen as his replacement . Richard Griffiths as Vernon Dursley , Harry 's Muggle uncle . Gary Oldman as Sirius Black , Harry 's infamous godfather , who escapes from the Wizarding prison Azkaban after serving twelve years there for being falsely accused of being the Death Eater who betrayed Harry 's parents to Voldemort . Oldman accepted the part because he needed the money , as he had not taken on any major work in several years after deciding to spend more time with his children . He was `` surprised by how difficult it was to pull off '' , comparing the role to Shakespearean dialogue . Alan Rickman as Severus Snape , the Potions teacher at Hogwarts and head of Slytherin . Fiona Shaw as Petunia Dursley , Harry 's Muggle aunt . Maggie Smith as Minerva McGonagall , Deputy Headmistress of Hogwarts , the Transfiguration teacher at Hogwarts and head of Gryffindor . Tom Felton as Draco Malfoy , Harry 's arch rival and a Slytherin house student . Timothy Spall as Peter Pettigrew , a friend of Harry 's parents said to have been killed by Sirius Black , but was later revealed to have been the real Death Eater who betrayed Harry 's parents to Voldemort . David Thewlis as Remus Lupin , the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts and a werewolf . Thewlis , who had previously auditioned for the role of Quirinus Quirrell in Harry Potter and the Philosopher 's Stone , was Cuarón 's first choice for the role of Professor Lupin . He accepted the role on advice from Ian Hart , who was cast as Quirrell , and had told him that Professor Lupin was `` the best part in the book . '' Thewlis had seen the first two films and had only read part of the first book , although after taking the role he read the third . Emma Thompson as Sybill Trelawney , the Divination teacher at Hogwarts . Production ( edit ) Development ( edit ) With Prisoner of Azkaban , production of the Harry Potter films switched to an eighteen - month cycle , which producer David Heyman explained was `` to give each ( film ) the time it required . '' Chris Columbus , the director of the previous two films , decided not to return to helm the third instalment as he `` had n't seen ( his ) own kids for supper in the week for about two and a half years . '' Even so , he remained on as a producer alongside Heyman . Guillermo del Toro was approached to direct but considered the film `` so bright and happy and full of light , that ( he ) was n't interested . '' Marc Forster turned down the film because he had made Finding Neverland and did not want to direct child actors again . M. Night Shyamalan was considered to direct but turned it down because he was working on his own film , The Village . Warner Bros. then composed a three - name short list for Columbus 's replacement , which comprised Callie Khouri , Kenneth Branagh ( who played Gilderoy Lockhart in Chamber of Secrets ) and eventual selection Alfonso Cuarón . Cuarón was initially nervous about accepting , as he had not read any of the books or seen the films . After reading the series , he changed his mind and signed on to direct , as he had immediately connected to the story . Cuarón 's appointment pleased J.K. Rowling who loved his film Y Tu Mamá También and was impressed with his adaptation of A Little Princess . Heyman found that `` tonally and stylistically , ( Cuarón ) was the perfect fit . '' As his first exercise with the actors who portray the central trio , Cuarón assigned Radcliffe , Grint and Watson to write an autobiographical essay about their character , written in the first person , spanning birth to the discovery of the magical world , and including the character 's emotional experience . Of Rupert Grint 's essay , Cuarón recalls , `` Rupert did n't deliver the essay . When I questioned why he did n't do it , he said , ' I 'm Ron ; Ron would n't do it . ' So I said , ' Okay , you do understand your character . ' That was the most important piece of acting work that we did on Prisoner of Azkaban , because it was very clear that everything they put in those essays was going to be the pillars they were going to hold on to for the rest of the process . '' Filming ( edit ) Loch Shiel , where scenes from Prisoner of Azkaban were filmed . Principal photography began on 24 February 2003 , at Leavesden Film Studios , and wrapped in October 2003 . The third film was the first to extensively utilise real - life locations , as much of the first two films had been shot in the studio . Some sets for the film were built in Glen Coe , Scotland , near the Clachaig Inn . The indoor sets , including ones built for the previous two films , are mainly in Leavesden Film Studios . The Hogwarts Lake was filmed from Loch Shiel , Loch Eilt and Loch Morar in the Scottish Highlands . Incidentally , the train bridge , which was also featured in the Chamber of Secrets , is opposite Loch Shiel and was used to film the sequences when the Dementor boarded the train . A small section of the triple - decker bus scene , where it weaves in between traffic , was filmed in North London 's Palmers Green . Some parts were also filmed in and around Borough Market and Lambeth Bridge in London . Hogwarts grew and expanded significantly with the third film . For the first time , the Hogwarts courtyard and bridge were seen . At the end of the bridge , rock monoliths were placed onto the hillside to evoke a Celtic feeling . The use of live - action also significantly changed the look of Hagrid 's hut . In the first two films , it appeared at the end of a flat stretch , right in front of the Forbidden Forest . The third film utilised the more rugged Scottish locations to place Hagrid 's hut at the bottom of a steep hillside . A large pumpkin patch was added behind the hut . The Honeydukes set in this film is a redress of the set of Flourish & Blotts that was seen in Chamber of Secrets , which , in turn , was a redress of the Ollivanders set from the first film . Rowling allowed Cuarón to make minor changes to the book , on the condition that he stuck to the book 's spirit . She allowed him to place a sundial on Hogwarts ' grounds , but rejected a graveyard , as that would play an important part in the then unreleased sixth book . Rowling said she `` got goosebumps '' when she saw several moments in the film , as they inadvertently referred to events in the final two books , she stated `` people are going to look back on the film and think that those were put in deliberately as clues . '' When filming concluded , Cuarón found that it had `` been the two sweetest years of my life , '' and expressed his interest in directing one of the sequels . Effects ( edit ) Cuarón originally wanted to move away from CGI toward puppetry . He hired master underwater puppeteer Basil Twist to help , using puppets to study the potential movement of the Dementors . Once it became apparent that puppetry would be too expensive and unable to portray the specific elements of the Dementors , Cuarón turned to CGI ; however , he and his team did use footage of Dementor puppets underwater as a basis for the flowing movements of the computer - generated Dementors . The Knight Bus segment when Harry is being taken to The Leaky Cauldron uses the technique known as bullet time , popularised in The Matrix series of films . This segment takes humorous advantage of the magic quality of the Harry Potter world by having the Muggle world go into bullet time while inside the Knight Bus , Harry , Stan Shunpike and Ernie Prang ( and the talking shrunken head ) keep moving in real time . Music ( edit ) John Williams Main article : Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban ( soundtrack ) The Academy Award - nominated score was the third and final score in the series to be composed and conducted by John Williams . It was released on CD on 25 May 2004 . In general , this film 's music is not as bright as that of the previous films , with distinct medieval influences in the instrumentation . One of the new themes , `` Double Trouble , '' was written during production so that a children 's choir could perform it in Hogwarts 's Great Hall in one of the film 's earlier scenes . The lyrics of `` Double Trouble '' are from a ritual performed by the Weïrd Sisters in Act 4 , Scene 1 of Shakespeare 's Macbeth . The film 's trailer prominently features the cues `` Anticipation '' and `` Progeny '' by Brand X Music , a trailer music band . Differences from the book ( edit ) Prisoner of Azkaban was , at the time of publication , the series ' longest book . The increasing plot complexity necessitated a looser adaptation of the book 's finer plot lines and back - story . The film opens with Harry using magic to light his wand in short bursts , whereas in the same scene in the book , he uses a torch / flashlight , as performing magic outside the wizard world is illegal for wizards under the age of seventeen . The connection between Harry 's parents and the Marauder 's Map is only briefly mentioned , as is Remus Lupin 's association to both the map and James Potter . Additionally , it was never mentioned who the Marauders were or who the nicknames Moony , Wormtail , Padfoot , and Prongs referred to . Some exposition was removed for dramatic effect : both the Shrieking Shack and Scabbers the rat are mentioned only very briefly in the film , while they receive a more thorough coverage in the novel . Most of Sirius Black 's back story is also cut , with no mention of the manner of his escape from Azkaban . Only the first Quidditch game was kept in the film , due to its importance to the storyline ; the second ( Gryffindor / Ravenclaw ) and third ( Gryffindor / Slytherin ) were cut . Thus , Harry receives the Firebolt at the film 's end , while in the book he receives it anonymously at Christmas and it is confiscated for a few weeks to be checked for possible jinxes by Professor Flitwick and Madam Hooch . On account of pace and time considerations , the film glosses over detailed descriptions of magical education . Only one Hippogriff , Buckbeak , is seen , and only Malfoy and Harry are seen interacting with the Hippogriff during Care of Magical Creatures lessons , and most other lessons , including all of Snape 's potions classes , were cut from the film . The Fidelius Charm 's complicated description is removed entirely from the film , with no explanation given of exactly how Black `` betrayed '' the Potters to Lord Voldemort . Many of this scene 's lines are redistributed amongst Cornelius Fudge and Minerva McGonagall ; in compensation , McGonagall 's exposition of the Animagus transformation is instead given by Snape . In the film , where Harry and Hermione have travelled back in time and are hiding outside of Hagrid 's hut , it is heavily implied that Dumbledore somehow knows that they are there , as he distracts the other characters at key moments or slows down the proceedings ( such as by suggesting that he sign Buckbeak 's execution order as well , then after Fudge agrees he says it will take some time as he has an extremely long name ) , which allows Harry and Hermione time to free Buckbeak unseen . In the book , Dumbledore merely comments that the executioner must sign the order , right before he is about to leave the cabin to execute Buckbeak . The embryonic romantic connection between Ron and Hermione is more prominent in the film than the book ; in response to criticism of the first two films for sacrificing character development for mystery and adventure , the emotional development of all three lead characters is given more attention in the third film . That said , any mention of the beginnings of Harry 's crush on Cho Chang is removed . Chang herself is not even seen until the next film . Harry 's darker side is first glimpsed in this film , when Harry proclaims , `` I hope he ( Black ) finds me . Cause when he does , I 'm going to be ready . When he does , I 'm going to kill him ! '' Distribution ( edit ) Marketing ( edit ) As with the series ' previous instalments , Prisoner of Azkaban was a large merchandising opportunity . The video game version , designed by EA UK , was released 25 May 2004 in North America and 29 May 2004 in Europe . Mattel released film tie - ins that included the Harry Potter Championship Quidditch board game and character action figures . Lego also expanded on its previous merchandising for the first two films with the release of sets ranging from the Knight Bus to the Shrieking Shack . Theatrical release ( edit ) Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban held its New York premiere at Radio City Music Hall on 23 May 2004 , followed by its London premiere at Leicester Square on 30 May 2004 . The film then opened in the United Kingdom on 31 May 2004 and on 4 June 2004 in the United States . It was the first film in the series to be released in both conventional and IMAX theatres . Reception ( edit ) Box office ( edit ) Upon release , the film broke the record for biggest single day in the United Kingdom 's box office history making £ 5.3 million on a Monday . It went on to break records both with and without previews , making £ 23.9 million including previews and £ 9.3 million excluding them . Prisoner of Azkaban had the highest - opening weekend at the UK 's box office , until Spectre beat the record in 2015 . It went on to make a total of £ 45.6 million in the UK . The film made $93.7 million during its opening weekend in the United States and Canada at 3,855 theatres , achieving , at the time , the third biggest - opening weekend of all time . This opening also broke Hulk 's record ( $62.1 million ) for the highest - opening weekend for a film released in June . Prisoner of Azkaban held this record for five years until Transformers : Revenge of the Fallen topped it in 2009 with $108.9 million . The film was also No. 1 at the North American box office for two consecutive weekends . Prisoner of Azkaban made a total of $796.7 million worldwide , which made it 2004 's second - highest - grossing film worldwide behind Shrek 2 . In the U.S. and Canada , it was only the year 's sixth - highest - grossing film , making $249.5 million . Everywhere else in the world , however , it was the year 's number one film , making $547 million compared to Shrek 2 's $478.6 million . Despite its successful box office run , Azkaban is the lowest - grossing Harry Potter film ( all the others have grossed more than $800 million worldwide ) and the lowest - grossing film of J.K. Rowling 's Wizarding World Series . Critical response ( edit ) Prisoner of Azkaban is often regarded by critics and fans as one of the best films in the franchise . On the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 91 % based on 250 reviews , with an average rating of 7.9 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` Under the assured direction of Alfonso Cuarón , Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban triumphantly strikes a delicate balance between technical wizardry and complex storytelling . '' On Metacritic the film has a score of 82 out of 100 , based on 40 critics , indicating `` universal acclaim '' . On CinemaScore , audiences gave the film an average grade of `` A '' on an A+ to F scale . Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle lauded the film 's more mature tone and said it was `` darker , more complex , rooted in character . '' The Hollywood Reporter called the film `` a deeper , darker , visually arresting and more emotionally satisfying adaptation of the J.K. Rowling literary phenomenon , '' especially compared to the first two installments . Peter Travers of Rolling Stone gave the film three - and - a-half out of four stars : `` Not only is this dazzler by far the best and most thrilling of the three Harry Potter movies to date , it 's a film that can stand on its own even if you never heard of author J.K. Rowling and her young wizard hero . '' Stephanie Zacharek of Salon.com asserts it to be `` one of the greatest fantasy films of all time . '' Nicole Arthur of The Washington Post praised the film as `` complex , frightening , ( and ) nuanced . '' Roger Ebert gave the film three - and - a-half out of four stars , saying that the film was not quite as good as the first two , but still called it `` delightful , amusing and sophisticated '' Claudia Puig from USA Today found the film to be `` a visual delight , '' and added that `` Cuarón is not afraid to make a darker film and tackle painful emotions . '' while Richard Roeper called the film `` a creative triumph . '' Sean Smith from Newsweek said : `` The Prisoner of Azkaban boasts a brand - new director and a bold new vision , '' he also called the film `` moving , '' praising the performances by the three main leads , while Entertainment Weekly praised the film for being more mature than its predecessors . Accolades ( edit ) Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was nominated for Best Original Music Score ( John Williams ) and Best Visual Effects at the 77th Academy Awards held in 2005 . This was the second film in the series to be nominated for an Oscar . The film also ranks at No. 471 in Empire magazine 's 2008 list of the 500 greatest movies of all time . IGN designated Prisoner of Azkaban as the fifth best fantasy film . Additionally , Moviefone designated the film as the tenth best of the decade . In 2011 , the film was voted Film of the Decade at the First Light Awards by children aged 5 -- 15 .

South Korea , officially the Republic of Korea ( abbreviated ROK ) , is a sovereign state in East Asia , constituting the southern part of the Korean Peninsula . Officially , its territory consists of the whole Korean Peninsula and its adjacent islands , which are largely mountainous . South Koreans lead a distinctive urban lifestyle , as half of them live in high - rises concentrated in the Seoul Capital Area with 25 million residents . The capital Seoul is the world 's sixth leading global city with the fifth largest economy and is the seventh most sustainable city in the world . The earliest neolithic Korean pottery dates to 8000 BC , with three kingdoms flourishing in the 1st century BC . The name Korea is derived from one of them , Goguryeo , which was one of the great powers in East Asia during its time , ruling most of the Korean Peninsula , Manchuria , and some parts of the Russian Far East and Inner Mongolia under Gwanggaeto the Great . Since the unification of the Korean kingdoms into Later Silla and Balhae in the 7th century , Korea enjoyed over a millennium of relative tranquility under long lasting dynasties . Koreans developed improved versions of many advanced innovations such as the metal movable type printing press , which used to print and publish the Jikji , the world 's oldest extant movable metal type printed paper book in 1377 . In the 15th century , Koreans had one of the highest living standards in the world , and Sejong the Great invented Hangul to promote literacy among the general Korean population , enabling anyone to easily learn to read and write and transfer written information rather than spending years learning complicated ancient Chinese . Its rich and vibrant culture left 19 UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritages of Humanity , the third largest in the world , along with 12 World Heritage Sites . Annexed into Imperial Japan in 1910 , the country 's current political structure dates back to 1919 when the Korean Provisional Government was organized in Shanghai , China as a government in exile and then moved to Chungking to resist the Japanese occupation of Korea . After the Japan 's surrender in 1945 , Korea was divided into the 38th parallel with the United States controlled the southern part and the First Korean Republic was declared on August 15 , 1948 , but a North Korean invasion led to the Korean War ( 1950 -- 1953 ) two years later . Peace has since mostly continued with the two agreeing to work peacefully for reunification and the South solidifying peace as a regional power with the world 's 10th largest defence budget . South Korea is one of the Four Asian Economic Dragons . The South Korean economy soared at an annual average of 10 % for over 30 years in a period of rapid transformation called the Miracle on the Han River . A long legacy of openness and focus on innovation made it successful . Today , it is the world 's seventh largest advanced economy and fifth largest exporter with the G20 's largest budget surplus and highest credit rating of any country in East Asia . It has free trade agreements with 75 % of the world economy and is the only G20 nation trading freely with China , the US and the EU simultaneously . Since 1988 , its constitution guarantees a liberal democracy with high government transparency and many fundamental rights such as universal healthcare . High personal freedoms led to the rise of a globally influential pop culture such as K - pop and K - drama , a phenomenon called the Korean Wave , known for its distinctive fashionable and trendy style . Home of the UN Green Climate Fund and GGGI , South Korea is a leader in low carbon green growth , committed to helping developing countries as a major DAC and Paris Club contributor . It is the world 's third least ignorant country in the Index of Ignorance , ranking eighth highest for peaceful tolerance and inclusion of minorities on the Fragile States Index . South Korea is a technologically advanced developed country driven by a highly educated and skilled workforce , having the world 's eighth highest median household income , the highest in Asia . Globally , it ranks highly in personal safety , job security , ease of doing business and healthcare quality , with the world 's third highest health adjusted life expectancy and fourth most efficient healthcare system . It is the world 's largest spender on R&D per GDP , leading the OECD in graduates in science and engineering and ranking third in the Youth Wellbeing Index . Home of Samsung , LG and Hyundai - Kia , South Korea was named the world 's most innovative country for 4 consecutive years since 2014 in the Bloomberg Innovation Index , ranking first in business R&D intensity , manufacturing value - added , patents filed per GDP , second in higher education efficiency and fourth in high - tech density and researcher concentration . In 2005 , it became the world 's first country to fully transition to high - speed Internet and today it has the world 's fastest Internet speed and highest smartphone ownership , ranking first in ICT Development , e-Government and 4G LTE coverage . South Korea currently provides the world 's second largest number of Christian missionaries , surpassed by the United States . South Korea is a member of the United Nations , World Bank , World Health Organization , International Monetary Fund , Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development , Asia - Pacific Economic Cooperation , G20 and a global partner of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization .

The name Goryeo itself was first used by the ancient kingdom of Goguryeo in the 5th century as a shortened form of its name . The 10th - century kingdom of Goryeo succeeded Goguryeo , and thus inherited its name , which was pronounced by visiting Persian merchants as `` Korea '' . The modern spelling of Korea first appeared in the late 17th century in the travel writings of the Dutch East India Company 's Hendrick Hamel . Despite the coexistence of the spellings Corea and Korea in 19th century publications , some Koreans believe that Imperial Japan , around the time of the Japanese occupation , intentionally standardised the spelling on Korea , making Japan appear first alphabetically . After Goryeo was replaced by Joseon in 1392 , Joseon became the official name for the entire territory , though it was not universally accepted . The new official name has its origin in the ancient country of Gojoseon ( Old Joseon ) . In 1897 , the Joseon dynasty changed the official name of the country from Joseon to Daehan Jeguk ( Korean Empire ) . The name Daehan , which means `` great Han '' literally , derives from Samhan ( Three Hans ) . However , the name Joseon was still widely used by Koreans to refer to their country , though it was no longer the official name . Under Japanese rule , the two names Han and Joseon coexisted . There were several groups who fought for independence , the most notable being the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea ( 대한민국 임시 정부 / 大韓民國 臨時 政府 ) . Following the surrender of Japan , in 1945 , the Republic of Korea ( 대한민국 / 大韓民國 ; listen ) was adopted as the legal name for the new country . Since the government only controlled the southern part of the Korean Peninsula , the informal term South Korea was coined , becoming increasingly common in the western world . While South Koreans use Han ( or Hanguk ) to refer to the entire country , North Koreans and Koreans in China use the term Joseon as the name of the country . History Main article : History of Korea Ancient Korea Seokguram Grotto from the Silla era , a UNESCO World Heritage Site Balhae and Silla , 830 CE The oldest surviving metal movable type book , the Jikji , was printed in 1377 , and Goryeo created the world 's first metal - based movable type in 1234 . The Tripitaka Koreana -- the Buddhist canon ( Tripiṭaka ) carved onto roughly 80,000 woodblocks and stored ( and still remaining ) at Haeinsa , a World Heritage Site Changdeok Palace , one of the Five Grand Palaces built during the Joseon Dynasty and a World Heritage Site The history of Korea begins with the founding of Joseon ( also known as `` Gojoseon '' , or Old Joseon , to differentiate it with the 14th century dynasty ) in 2333 BC by Dangun , according to Korea 's foundation mythology . Gojoseon expanded until it controlled the northern Korean Peninsula and parts of Manchuria . Gija Joseon was purportedly founded in the 12th century BC , but its existence and role have been controversial in the modern era . In 108 BC , the Han dynasty defeated Wiman Joseon and installed four commanderies in the northern Korean peninsula . Three of the commanderies fell or retreated westward within a few decades , but the Lelang commandery remained as a center of cultural and economic exchange with successive Chinese dynasties for four centuries , until it was conquered by Goguryeo in 313 . Three Kingdoms of Korea During the period known as the Proto -- Three Kingdoms of Korea , the states of Buyeo , Okjeo , Dongye , and Samhan occupied the Korean peninsula and southern Manchuria . From them , Goguryeo , Baekje , and Silla emerged to control the peninsula as the Three Kingdoms of Korea . Goguryeo , the largest and most powerful among them , was a highly militaristic state , and competed with various Chinese dynasties during its 700 years of history . Goguryeo experienced a golden age under Gwanggaeto the Great and his son Jangsu , who both subdued Baekje and Silla during their times , achieving a brief unification of the Three Kingdoms of Korea and becoming the most dominant power on the Korean Peninsula . In addition to contesting for control of the Korean Peninsula , Goguryeo had many military conflicts with various Chinese dynasties , most notably the Goguryeo -- Sui War , in which Goguryeo defeated a huge force said to number over a million men . Baekje was a great maritime power ; its nautical skill , which made it the Phoenicia of East Asia , was instrumental in the dissemination of Buddhism throughout East Asia and continental culture to Japan . Baekje was once a great military power on the Korean Peninsula , especially during the time of Geunchogo , but was critically defeated by Gwanggaeto the Great and declined . Silla was the smallest and weakest of the three , but it used cunning diplomatic means to make opportunistic pacts and alliances with the more powerful Korean kingdoms , and eventually Tang China , to its great advantage . The unification of the Three Kingdoms by Silla in 676 led to the North South States Period , in which much of the Korean Peninsula was controlled by Later Silla , while Balhae controlled the northern parts of Goguryeo . Balhae was founded by a Goguryeo general and formed as a successor state to Goguryeo . During its height , Balhae controlled most of Manchuria and parts of the Russian Far East , and was called the `` Prosperous Country in the East '' . Later Silla was a golden age of art and culture , as evidenced by the Hwangnyongsa , Seokguram , and Emille Bell . Relationships between Korea and China remained relatively peaceful during this time . Later Silla carried on the maritime prowess of Baekje , which acted like the Phoenicia of medieval East Asia , and during the 8th and 9th centuries dominated the seas of East Asia and the trade between China , Korea and Japan , most notably during the time of Jang Bogo ; in addition , Silla people made overseas communities in China on the Shandong Peninsula and the mouth of the Yangtze River . Later Silla was a prosperous and wealthy country , and its metropolitan capital of Gyeongju was the fourth largest city in the world . Buddhism flourished during this time , and many Korean Buddhists gained great fame among Chinese Buddhists and contributed to Chinese Buddhism , including : Woncheuk , Wonhyo , Uisang , Musang , and Kim Gyo - gak , a Silla prince whose influence made Mount Jiuhua one of the Four Sacred Mountains of Chinese Buddhism . However , Later Silla weakened under internal strife and the revival of Baekje and Goguryeo , which led to the Later Three Kingdoms period in the late 9th century . Unified dynasties In 936 , the Later Three Kingdoms were united by Wang Geon , a descendant of Goguryeo nobility , who established Goryeo as the successor state of Goguryeo . Balhae had fallen to the Khitan Empire in 926 , and a decade later the last crown prince of Balhae fled south to Goryeo , where he was warmly welcomed and included into the ruling family by Wang Geon , thus unifying the two successor nations of Goguryeo . Like Silla , Goryeo was a highly cultural state , and invented the metal movable type printing press . After defeating the Khitan Empire , which was the most powerful empire of its time , in the Goryeo -- Khitan War , Goryeo experienced a golden age that lasted a century , during which the Tripitaka Koreana was completed and there were great developments in printing and publishing , promoting learning and dispersing knowledge on philosophy , literature , religion , and science ; by 1100 , there were 12 universities that produced famous scholars and scientists . However , the Mongol invasions in the 13th century greatly weakened the kingdom . Goryeo was never conquered by the Mongols , but exhausted after three decades of fighting , the Korean court sent its crown prince to the Yuan capital to swear allegiance to Kublai Khan , who accepted , and married one of his daughters to the Korean crown prince . Henceforth , Goryeo continued to rule Korea , though as a tributary ally to the Mongols for the next 86 years . During this period , the two nations became intertwined as all subsequent Korean kings married Mongol princesses , and the last empress of the Yuan dynasty was a Korean princess . In the mid-14th century , Goryeo drove out the Mongols to regain its northern territories , briefly conquered Liaoyang , and defeated invasions by the Red Turbans . However , in 1392 , General Yi Seong - gye , who had been ordered to attack China , turned his army around and staged a coup . Yi Seong - gye declared the new name of Korea as `` Joseon '' in reference to Gojoseon , and moved the capital to Hanseong ( one of the old names of Seoul ) . The first 200 years of the Joseon dynasty were marked by peace , and saw great advancements in science and education , as well as the creation of Hangul by Sejong the Great to promote literacy among the common people . The prevailing ideology of the time was Neo-Confucianism , which was epitomized by the seonbi class : nobles who passed up positions of wealth and power to lead lives of study and integrity . Between 1592 and 1598 , Toyotomi Hideyoshi launched invasions of Korea , but his advance was halted by Korean forces ( most notably the Joseon Navy led by Admiral Yi Sun - sin and his renowned `` turtle ship '' ) with assistance from Righteous Army militias formed by Korean civilians , and Ming dynasty Chinese troops . Through a series of successful battles of attrition , the Japanese forces were eventually forced to withdraw , and relations between all parties became normalized . However , the Manchus took advantage of Joseon 's war - weakened state and invaded in 1627 and 1637 , and then went on to conquer the destabilized Ming dynasty . After normalizing relations with the new Qing dynasty , Joseon experienced a nearly 200 - year period of peace . Kings Yeongjo and Jeongjo particularly led a new renaissance of the Joseon dynasty during the 18th century . In the 19th century , the royal in - law families gained control of the government , leading to mass corruption and weakening of the state , and severe poverty and peasant rebellions throughout the country . Furthermore , the Joseon government adopted a strict isolationist policy , earning the nickname `` the hermit kingdom '' , but ultimately failed to protect itself against imperialism and was forced to open its borders . After the First Sino - Japanese War and the Russo - Japanese War , Korea was occupied by Japan ( 1910 -- 45 ) . At the end of World War II , the Japanese surrendered to Soviet and U.S. forces who occupied the northern and southern halves of Korea , respectively . Modern History Main article : History of South Korea War Memorial of Korea , built in remembrance of the Korean War ( 1950 -- 1953 ) Between 1962 and 1994 , the South Korean economy grew at an average of 10 % annually , fueled by annual export growth of 20 % , in a period called the Miracle on the Han River Despite the initial plan of a unified Korea in the 1943 Cairo Declaration , escalating Cold War antagonism between the Soviet Union and the United States eventually led to the establishment of separate governments , each with its own ideology , leading to the division of Korea into two political entities in 1948 : North Korea and South Korea . In the South , Syngman Rhee , an opponent of communism , who had been backed and appointed by the United States as head of the provisional government , won the first presidential elections of the newly declared Republic of Korea in May . In the North , a former anti-Japanese guerrilla and communist activist , Kim Il - sung was appointed premier of the Democratic People 's Republic of Korea in September . In October the Soviet Union declared Kim Il - sung 's government as sovereign over both parts . The UN declared Rhee 's government as `` a lawful government having effective control and jurisdiction over that part of Korea where the UN Temporary Commission on Korea was able to observe and consult '' and the Government `` based on elections which was observed by the Temporary Commission '' in addition to a statement that `` this is the only such government in Korea . '' Both leaders began an authoritarian repression of their political opponents inside their region , seeking for a unification of Korea under their control . While South Korea 's request for military support was denied by the United States , North Korea 's military was heavily reinforced by the Soviet Union . 1950 On June 25 , 1950 , North Korea invaded South Korea , sparking the Korean War , the Cold War 's first major conflict , which continued until 1953 . At the time , the Soviet Union had boycotted the United Nations ( UN ) , thus forfeiting their veto rights . This allowed the UN to intervene in a civil war when it became apparent that the superior North Korean forces would unify the entire country . The Soviet Union and China backed North Korea , with the later participation of millions of Chinese troops . After an ebb and flow that saw both sides almost pushed to the brink of extinction , and massive losses among Korean civilians in both the north and the south , the war eventually reached a stalemate . The 1953 armistice , never signed by South Korea , split the peninsula along the demilitarized zone near the original demarcation line . No peace treaty was ever signed , resulting in the two countries remaining technically at war . Over 1.2 million people died during the Korean War . 1960 President Park Chung - hee played a pivotal in rapidly developing the South Korean economy through export - oriented industrialization In 1960 , a student uprising ( the `` April 19 Revolution '' ) led to the resignation of the autocratic , corrupt President Syngman Rhee . A period of political instability followed , broken by General Park Chung - hee 's May 16 coup against the weak and ineffectual government the next year . Park took over as president until his assassination in 1979 , overseeing rapid export - led economic growth as well as implementing political repression . Park was heavily criticised as a ruthless military dictator , who in 1972 extended his rule by creating a new constitution , which gave the president sweeping ( almost dictatorial ) powers and permitted him to run for an unlimited number of six - year terms . However , the Korean economy developed significantly during Park 's tenure and the government developed the nationwide expressway system , the Seoul subway system , and laid the foundation for economic development during his 17 - year tenure . 1979 The years after Park 's assassination were marked again by political turmoil , as the previously suppressed opposition leaders all campaigned to run for president in the sudden political void . In 1979 there came the Coup d'état of December Twelfth led by General Chun Doo - hwan . Following the Coup d'état , Chun Doo - hwan planned to rise to power through several measures . On May 17 , Chun Doo - hwan forced the Cabinet to expand martial law to the whole nation , which had previously not applied to the island of Jejudo . The expanded martial law closed universities , banned political activities and further curtailed the press . Chun 's assumption of the presidency in the events of May 17 , triggered nationwide protests demanding democracy , in particular in the city of Gwangju , to which Chun sent special forces to violently suppress the Gwangju Democratization Movement . Chun subsequently created the National Defense Emergency Policy Committee and took the presidency according to his political plan . Chun and his government held South Korea under a despotic rule until 1987 , when a Seoul National University student , Park Jong - chul , was tortured to death . On June 10 , the Catholic Priests Association for Justice revealed the incident , igniting the June Democracy Movement around the country . Eventually , Chun 's party , the Democratic Justice Party , and its leader , Roh Tae - woo announced the 6.29 Declaration , which included the direct election of the president . Roh went on to win the election by a narrow margin against the two main opposition leaders , Kim Dae - Jung and Kim Young - Sam . 1988 In 1988 , Seoul hosted the 1988 Summer Olympics . It became a member of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ( OECD ) in 1996 . It was adversely affected by the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis . However , the country recovered and continued its economic growth , albeit at a slower pace . President Kim Dae - jung , the 2000 Nobel Peace Prize recipient for advancing democracy and human rights in South Korea and East Asia and for reconciliation with North Korea , was sometimes called the `` Nelson Mandela of Asia '' Following an election in 1997 , Kim Dae - jung was sworn in as the eight president of South Korea , on February 25 , 1998 . 2000 In June 2000 , as part of president Kim Dae - jung 's `` Sunshine Policy '' of engagement , a North -- South summit took place in Pyongyang , the capital of North Korea . Later that year , Kim received the Nobel Peace Prize `` for his work for democracy and human rights in South Korea and in East Asia in general , and for peace and reconciliation with North Korea in particular '' . However , because of discontent among the population for fruitless approaches to the North under the previous administrations and , amid North Korean provocations , a conservative government was elected in 2007 led by President Lee Myung - bak , former mayor of Seoul . More recently , Park Geun - hye won the South Korean presidential election , 2012 . Meanwhile , South Korea and Japan jointly co-hosted the 2002 FIFA World Cup . However , South Korean and Japanese relations later soured because of conflicting claims of sovereignty over the Liancourt Rocks , in what became known as the Liancourt Rocks dispute . Korea was the first chair of the G - 20 during the 2010 Seoul summit 2016 In 2016 , President Park Geun - hye 's administration was accused of corruption , bribery , and influence - peddling for the involvement of Choi Soon - sil in state affairs . Soon - sil was officially charged in November 2016 . Following the scandal , there has been a series of massive demonstrations that started in the first week of November 2016 . On December 9 , the National Assembly voted to impeach Park , suspending her from office . As a result , Prime Minister Hwang Kyo - ahn became the acting President . On March 10 , 2017 , the Constitutional Court of Korea voted to remove President Park from office immediately , ending her tenure as president . Geography , Climate and environment Geography Main article : Geography of South Korea Topography of South Korea South Korea occupies the southern portion of the Korean Peninsula , which extends some 1,100 km ( 680 mi ) from the Asian mainland . This mountainous peninsula is flanked by the Yellow Sea to the west , and the Sea of Japan to the east . Its southern tip lies on the Korea Strait and the East China Sea . The country , including all its islands , lies between latitudes 33 ° and 39 ° N , and longitudes 124 ° and 130 ° E. Its total area is 100,032 square kilometres ( 38,622.57 sq mi ) . South Korea can be divided into four general regions : an eastern region of high mountain ranges and narrow coastal plains ; a western region of broad coastal plains , river basins , and rolling hills ; a southwestern region of mountains and valleys ; and a southeastern region dominated by the broad basin of the Nakdong River . South Korea 's terrain is mostly mountainous , most of which is not arable . Lowlands , located primarily in the west and southeast , make up only 30 % of the total land area . About three thousand islands , mostly small and uninhabited , lie off the western and southern coasts of South Korea . Jeju - do is about 100 kilometres ( 62 miles ) off the southern coast of South Korea . It is the country 's largest island , with an area of 1,845 square kilometres ( 712 square miles ) . Jeju is also the site of South Korea 's highest point : Hallasan , an extinct volcano , reaches 1,950 metres ( 6,400 feet ) above sea level . The easternmost islands of South Korea include Ulleungdo and Liancourt Rocks ( Dokdo / Takeshima ) , while Marado and Socotra Rock are the southernmost islands of South Korea . South Korea has 20 national parks and popular nature places like the Boseong Tea Fields , Suncheon Bay Ecological Park , and the first national park of Jirisan .

Winters can be extremely cold with the minimum temperature dropping below − 20 ° C ( − 4 ° F ) in the inland region of the country : in Seoul , the average January temperature range is − 7 to 1 ° C ( 19 to 34 ° F ) , and the average August temperature range is 22 to 30 ° C ( 72 to 86 ° F ) . Winter temperatures are higher along the southern coast and considerably lower in the mountainous interior . Summer can be uncomfortably hot and humid , with temperatures exceeding 30 ° C ( 86 ° F ) in most parts of the country . South Korea has four distinct seasons ; spring , summer , autumn and winter . Spring usually lasts from late March to early May , summer from mid-May to early September , autumn from mid-September to early November , and winter from mid-November to mid-March . Rainfall is concentrated in the summer months of June through September . The southern coast is subject to late summer typhoons that bring strong winds , heavy rains and sometime floods . The average annual precipitation varies from 1,370 millimetres ( 54 in ) in Seoul to 1,470 millimetres ( 58 in ) in Busan . Environment Main article : Environment of South Korea Jeju Island is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New7Wonders of Nature Cheonggyecheon river is a modern public recreation space in downtown Seoul , South Korea During the first 20 years of South Korea 's growth surge , little effort was made to preserve the environment . Unchecked industrialization and urban development have resulted in deforestation and the ongoing destruction of wetlands such as the Songdo Tidal Flat . However , there have been recent efforts to balance these problems , including a government run $84 billion five - year green growth project that aims to boost energy efficiency and green technology . The green - based economic strategy is a comprehensive overhaul of South Korea 's economy , utilizing nearly two percent of the national GDP . The greening initiative includes such efforts as a nationwide bike network , solar and wind energy , lowering oil dependent vehicles , backing daylight savings and extensive usage of environmentally friendly technologies such as LEDs in electronics and lighting . The country -- already the world 's most wired -- plans to build a nationwide next - generation network that will be 10 times faster than broadband facilities , in order to reduce energy usage . The renewable portfolio standard program with renewable energy certificates runs from 2012 to 2022 . Quota systems favor large , vertically integrated generators and multinational electric utilities , if only because certificates are generally denominated in units of one megawatt - hour . They are also more difficult to design and implement than a Feed - in tariff . Around 350 residential micro combined heat and power units were installed in 2012 . Seoul 's tap water recently became safe to drink , with city officials branding it `` Arisu '' in a bid to convince the public . Efforts have also been made with afforestation projects . Another multibillion - dollar project was the restoration of Cheonggyecheon , a stream running through downtown Seoul that had earlier been paved over by a motorway . One major challenge is air quality , with acid rain , sulfur oxides , and annual yellow dust storms being particular problems . It is acknowledged that many of these difficulties are a result of South Korea 's proximity to China , which is a major air polluter . South Korea is a member of the Antarctic - Environmental Protocol , Antarctic Treaty , Biodiversity Treaty , Kyoto Protocol ( forming the Environmental Integrity Group ( EIG ) , regarding UNFCCC , with Mexico and Switzerland ) , Desertification , Endangered Species , Environmental Modification , Hazardous Wastes , Law of the Sea , Marine Dumping , Comprehensive Nuclear - Test - Ban Treaty ( not into force ) , Ozone Layer Protection , Ship Pollution , Tropical Timber 83 , Tropical Timber 94 , Wetlands , and Whaling . Government Main article : Government of South Korea Moon Jae - in President Lee Nak - yeon Prime Minister Under its current constitution the state is sometimes referred to as the Sixth Republic of South Korea . Like many democratic states , South Korea has a government divided into three branches : executive , judicial , and legislative . The executive and legislative branches operate primarily at the national level , although various ministries in the executive branch also carry out local functions . Local governments are semi-autonomous , and contain executive and legislative bodies of their own . The judicial branch operates at both the national and local levels . South Korea is a constitutional democracy . The National Assembly of South Korea The South Korean government 's structure is determined by the Constitution of the Republic of Korea . This document has been revised several times since its first promulgation in 1948 at independence . However , it has retained many broad characteristics and with the exception of the short - lived Second Republic of South Korea , the country has always had a presidential system with an independent chief executive . The first direct election was also held in 1948 . Although South Korea experienced a series of military dictatorships from the 1960s up until the 1980s , it has since developed into a successful liberal democracy . Today , the CIA World Factbook describes South Korea 's democracy as a `` fully functioning modern democracy '' . South Korea is ranked 37th on the Corruption Perceptions Index , with moderate control on corruption . Due to its development and capabilities , political scientists have ranked it among Asia - Pacific 's regional powers . Separation of powers and the election system of South Korea Administrative divisions Main article : Administrative divisions of South Korea See also : Provinces of South Korea , Special cities of South Korea , and Provinces of Korea The major administrative divisions in South Korea are eight provinces , one special self - governing province , six metropolitan cities ( self - governing cities that are not part of any province ) , one special city and one metropolitan autonomous city .

Demographics Main article : Demographics of South Korea See also : Koreans In April 2016 , South Korea 's population was estimated to be around 50.8 million by National Statistical Office , with continuing decline of working age population and total fertility rate . The country is noted for its population density , which was an estimated 505 per square kilometer in 2015 , more than 10 times the global average . Most South Koreans live in urban areas , because of rapid migration from the countryside during the country 's quick economic expansion in the 1970s , 1980s and 1990s . The capital city of Seoul is also the country 's largest city and chief industrial center . According to the 2005 census , Seoul had a population of 10 million inhabitants . The Seoul National Capital Area has 24.5 million inhabitants ( about half of South Korea 's entire population ) making it the world 's second largest metropolitan area . Other major cities include Busan ( 3.5 million ) , Incheon ( 2.5 million ) , Daegu ( 2.5 million ) , Daejeon ( 1.4 million ) , Gwangju ( 1.4 million ) and Ulsan ( 1.1 million ) . The population has also been shaped by international migration . After World War II and the division of the Korean Peninsula , about four million people from North Korea crossed the border to South Korea . This trend of net entry reversed over the next 40 years because of emigration , especially to the United States and Canada . South Korea 's total population in 1955 was 21.5 million , and has more than doubled , to 50 million , by 2010 . South Korea is one of the most ethnically homogeneous societies in the world , with more than 99 % of inhabitants having Korean ethnicity . The percentage of foreign nationals has been growing rapidly . As of 2009 , South Korea had 1,106,884 foreign residents , 2.7 % of the population ; however , more than half of them are ethnic Koreans with a foreign citizenship . For example , migrants from China ( PRC ) make up 56.5 % of foreign nationals , but approximately 70 % of the Chinese citizens in Korea are Joseonjok ( 조선족 in Korean ) , PRC citizens of Korean ethnicity . Regardless of the ethnicity , there are 28,500 US military personnel serving in South Korea , most serving a one - year unaccompanied tour ( though approximately 10 % serve longer tours accompanied by family ) , according to the Korea National Statistical Office . In addition , about 43,000 English teachers from English - speaking countries reside temporarily in Korea . Currently , South Korea has one of the highest rates of growth of foreign born population , with about 30,000 foreign born residents obtaining South Korean citizenship every year since 2010 . South Korea 's birthrate was the world 's lowest in 2009 . If this continues , its population is expected to decrease by 13 % to 42.3 million in 2050 . South Korea 's annual birthrate is approximately 9 births per 1000 people . However , the birthrate has increased by 5.7 % in 2010 and Korea no longer has the world 's lowest birthrate . According to a 2011 report from The Chosun Ilbo , South Korea 's total fertility rate ( 1.23 children born per woman ) is higher than those of Taiwan ( 1.15 ) and Japan ( 1.21 ) . The average life expectancy in 2008 was 79.10 years , ( which was 34th in the world ) but by 2015 it had increased to around 81 . South Korea has the steepest decline in working age population of the OECD nations . In 2015 , National Statistical Office estimated that the population of the country will have reached its peak by 2035 .

A centralized administration in South Korea oversees the process for the education of children from kindergarten to the third and final year of high school . The school year is divided into two semesters , the first of which begins in the beginning of March and ends in mid-July , the second of which begins in late August and ends in mid-February . The schedules are not uniformly standardized and vary from school to school . Most South Korean middle schools and high schools have school uniforms , modeled on western - style uniforms . Boys ' uniforms usually consists of trousers and white shirts , and girls wear skirts and white shirts ( this only applies in middle schools and high schools ) . The country adopted a new educational program to increase the number of their foreign students through 2010 . According to the Ministry of Education , Science and Technology , the number of scholarships for foreign students in South Korea would have ( under the program ) doubled by that time , and the number of foreign students would have reached 100,000 . South Korea is one of the top - performing OECD countries in reading literacy , maths and sciences with the average student scoring 542 and has one of the worlds highest - educated labour forces among OECD countries . The country is well known for its high feverish outlook on education , where its national obsession with education has been called `` education fever '' . This obsession with education has catapulted the resource poor nation consistently atop the global education rankings where in 2014 national rankings of students ' math and science scores by the Organization for Economic and Cooperation and Development ( OECD ) , South Korea ranked second place worldwide , after Singapore . Higher education is a serious issue in South Korea society , where it is viewed as one of the fundamental cornerstones of South Korean life . Education is regarded with a high priority for South Korean families as success in education holds a cultural status as well as a necessity to improve one 's socioeconomic position in South Korean society . Academic success is often a source of pride for families and within South Korean society at large . South Koreans view education as the main propeller of social mobility for themselves and their family as a gateway to the South Korean middle class . Graduating from a top university is the ultimate marker of prestige , high socioeconomic status , promising marriage prospects , and a respectable career path . An average South Korean child 's life revolves around education as pressure to succeed academically is deeply ingrained in South Korean children from an early age . Not having a university degree carries a major cultural stigma as those who lack a formal university education face social prejudice and are often looked down upon by others . In 2015 , the country spent 4.7 % of its GDP on all levels of education -- roughly equal to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development ( OECD ) average of 4.7 % also . A strong investment in education , a militant drive for success as well as the passion for excellence has helped the resource poor country rapidly grow its economy over the past 60 years from a war torn wasteland . South Korea 's zeal for education and its students ' desires to get into a prestigious university is one of the highest in the world , as the entrance into a top tier higher educational institution leads to a prestigious , secure and well - paid white collar job with the government , banks , a major South Korean conglomerate such as Samsung , Hyundai or LG Electronics . With incredible pressure on high school students to secure places at the nation 's best universities , its institutional reputation and alumni networks are strong predictors of future career prospects . The top three universities in South Korea , often referred to as `` SKY '' , are Seoul National University , Korea University and Yonsei University . Intense competition for top grades and academic pressure to be the top student is deeply ingrained in the psyche of South Korean students at a young age . Yet with only so many places at universities and even fewer places at top - tier companies , many young people remain disappointed and are often unwilling to lower their sights with the result of many feeling as underachievers . There is a major cultural taboo in South Korean society attached to those who have not achieved formal university education where those who do n't hold university degrees face social prejudice and are often looked down by others as second - class citizens resulting fewer opportunities for employment , improvement of one 's socioeconomic position and prospects for marriage . International reception on the South Korean education system has been divided . It has been praised for various reasons , including its comparatively high test results and its major role in ushering South Korea 's economic development creating one of the world 's most educated workforces . South Korea 's highly enviable academic performance has gotten British education ministers actively remodeling their own curriculum 's and exams to try to emulate Korea 's militant drive and passion for excellence and high educational achievement . U.S. President Barack Obama has also praised the country 's rigorous school system , where over 80 percent of South Korean high school graduates go on to university . The nation 's high university entrance rate has created a highly skilled workforce making South Korea among the most highly educated countries in the world with the one of the highest percentage of its citizens holding a tertiary education degree . Bachelor 's degrees are held by 68 percent of South Koreans aged 25 -- 34 , the most in the OECD . The system 's rigid and hierarchical structure has been criticized for stifling creativity and innovation ; described as intensely and `` brutally '' competitive , The system is often blamed for the high suicide rate in the country , particularly the growing rates among those aged 10 -- 19 . Various media outlets attribute the country 's high suicide rate on the nationwide anxiety around the country 's college entrance exams , which determine the trajectory of students ' entire lives and careers . Former South Korean hagwon teacher Se - Woong Koo wrote that the South Korean education system amounts to child abuse and that it should be `` reformed and restructured without delay '' . The system has also been criticized for producing an excess supply of university graduates creating an overeducated and underemployed labor force ; in the first quarter of 2013 alone , nearly 3.3 million South Korean university graduates were jobless , leading many graduates overqualified for jobs requiring less education . Further criticism has been stemmed for causing labor shortages in various skilled blue collar labor and vocational occupations , where many go unfilled as the negative social stigma associated with vocational careers and not having a university degree continues to remain deep - rooted in South Korean society . Religion Main article : Religion in South Korea Religion in South Korea ( 2015 census ) Unaffiliated , Sindo , Korean Confucianism , unregistered groups ( 56.9 % ) Protestantism ( 19.7 % ) Korean Buddhism ( 15.5 % ) Catholic Church ( 7.9 % ) According to the results of the census of 2015 more than half of the South Korean population ( 56.9 % ) declared themselves not affiliated with any religious organizations . Korean shamanism ( also known as Sindo or Muism ) is the native religion of the Koreans , and it may represent a large part of the unaffiliated . Indeed , according to a 2012 survey , only 15 % of the population declared themselves not religious in the sense of `` atheism '' . Of the people who are affiliated with a religious organization , most are Christians and Buddhists . According to the 2015 census , 27.6 % of the population were Christians ( 19.7 % identified themselves as Protestants , 7.9 % as Roman Catholics ) , and 15.5 % were Buddhists . Other religions include Islam ( 130.000 Muslims , mostly migrant workers from Pakistan and Bangladesh but including some 35,000 Korean Muslims , ) the homegrown sect of Wonbuddhism , and a variety of indigenous religions , including Cheondoism ( a Confucianizing religion ) , Jeungsanism , Daejongism , Daesun Jinrihoe and others . Freedom of religion is guaranteed by the constitution , and there is no state religion . Overall , between the 2005 and 2015 censuses there has been a slight decline of Christianity ( down from 29 % to 27.6 % ) , a sharp decline of Buddhism ( down from 22.8 % to 15.5 % ) , and a rise of the unaffiliated population ( from 47.2 % to 56.9 % ) . Christianity is South Korea 's largest organized religion , accounting for more than half of all South Korean adherents of religious organizations . There are approximately 13.5 million Christians in South Korea today ; about two thirds of them belonging to Protestant churches , and the rest to the Roman Catholic Church . The number of Protestants has been stagnant throughout the 1990s and the 2000s , but increased to a peak level throughout the 2010s . Roman Catholics increased significantly between the 1980s and the 2000s , but declined throughout the 2010s . Christianity , unlike in other East Asian countries , found fertile ground in Korea in the 18th century , and by the end of the 18th century it persuaded a large part of the population as the declining monarchy supported it and opened the country to widespread proselytism as part of a project of Westernization . The weakness of Korean Sindo , which , unlike Japanese Shinto and China 's religious system , never developed into a national religion of high status , combined with the impoverished state of Korean Buddhism ( after 500 years of suppression at the hands of the Joseon state , by the 20th century it was virtually extinct ) left a free hand to Christian churches . Christianity 's similarity to native religious narratives has been studied as another factor that contributed to its success in the peninsula . The Japanese colonization of the first half of the 20th century further strengthened the identification of Christianity with Korean nationalism , as the Japanese coopted native Korean Sindo into the Nipponic Imperial Shinto that they tried to establish in the peninsula . Widespread Christianization of the Koreans took place during State Shinto , after its abolition , and then in the independent South Korea as the newly established military government supported Christianity and tried to utterly oust native Sindo . Among Christian denominations , Presbyterianism is the largest . About nine million people belong to one of the hundred different Presbyterian churches ; the biggest ones are the HapDong Presbyterian Church , TongHap Presbyterian Church , the Koshin Presbyterian Church . South Korea is also the second - largest missionary - sending nation , after the United States . Buddhism was introduced to Korea in the 4th century . It became soon a dominant religion in the southeastern kingdom of Silla , the region that hitherto hosts the strongest concentration of Buddhists in South Korea . In the other states of the Three Kingdoms Period , Goguryeo and Baekje , it was made the state religion respectively in 372 and 528 . It remained the state religion in Later Silla ( North South States Period ) and Goryeo . It was later suppressed throughout much of the subsequent history under the unified kingdom of Joseon ( 1392 -- 1897 ) , which officially adopted a strict Korean Confucianism . Today , South Korea has about 7 million Buddhists , most of them affiliated to the Jogye Order . Most of the National Treasures of South Korea are Buddhist artifacts . Health Main article : Health in South Korea Lee Jong - wook , former director - general of the World Health Organization , who was dedicated to combating tuberculosis and HIV / AIDS , along with eradicating polio South Korea has a universal healthcare system . Suicide in South Korea is a serious and widespread problem . The suicide rate was the highest in the OECD in 2012 ( 29.1 deaths per 100,000 persons ) . South Korean hospitals have advanced medical equipment and facilities readily available , ranking 4th for MRI units per capita and 6th for CT scanners per capita in the OECD . It also had the OECD 's second largest number of hospital beds per 1000 people at 9.56 beds . Life expectancy has been rising rapidly and South Korea ranked 9th in the world for life expectancy at 82 years in 2013 , ranking 4th in the world at 85 years . Foreign relations Main article : Foreign relations of South Korea The former Secretary - General of the United Nations ( 2007 -- 2016 ) , Ban Ki - moon South Korea maintains diplomatic relations with more than 188 countries . The country has also been a member of the United Nations since 1991 , when it became a member state at the same time as North Korea . On January 1 , 2007 , Former South Korean Foreign Minister Ban Ki - moon served as UN Secretary - General from 2007 to 2016 . It has also developed links with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations as both a member of ASEAN Plus three , a body of observers , and the East Asia Summit ( EAS ) . In 2010 , South Korea and the European Union concluded a free trade agreement ( FTA ) to reduce trade barriers . South Korea is also negotiating a Free Trade Agreement with Canada , and another with New Zealand . In November 2009 South Korea joined the OECD Development Assistance Committee , marking the first time a former aid recipient country joined the group as a donor member . South Korea hosted the G - 20 Summit in Seoul in November 2010 . North Korea Main article : North Korea -- South Korea relations Both North and South Korea continue to officially claim sovereignty over the entire peninsula and any outlying islands . Despite mutual animosity , reconciliation efforts have continued since the initial separation between North and South Korea . Political figures such as Kim Koo worked to reconcile the two governments even after the Korean War . With longstanding animosity following the Korean War from 1950 to 1953 , North Korea and South Korea signed an agreement to pursue peace . On October 4 , 2007 , Roh Moo - Hyun and North Korean leader Kim Jong - il signed an eight - point agreement on issues of permanent peace , high - level talks , economic cooperation , renewal of train services , highway and air travel , and a joint Olympic cheering squad . Despite the Sunshine Policy and efforts at reconciliation , the progress was complicated by North Korean missile tests in 1993 , 1998 , 2006 , 2009 , and 2013 . As of early 2009 , relationships between North and South Korea were very tense ; North Korea had been reported to have deployed missiles , ended its former agreements with South Korea , and threatened South Korea and the United States not to interfere with a satellite launch it had planned . North and South Korea are still technically at war ( having never signed a peace treaty after the Korean War ) and share the world 's most heavily fortified border . On May 27 , 2009 , North Korean media declared that the Armistice is no longer valid because of the South Korean government 's pledge to `` definitely join '' the Proliferation Security Initiative . To further complicate and intensify strains between the two nations , the sinking of the South Korean warship Cheonan in March 2010 , is affirmed by the South Korean government to have been caused by a North Korean torpedo , which the North denies . President Lee Myung - bak declared in May 2010 that Seoul would cut all trade with North Korea as part of measures primarily aimed at striking back at North Korea diplomatically and financially , except for the joint Kaesong Industrial Project , and humanitarian aid . North Korea initially threatened to sever all ties , to completely abrogate the previous pact of non-aggression , and to expel all South Koreans from a joint industrial zone in Kaesong , but backtracked on its threats and decided to continue its ties with South Korea . Despite the continuing ties , Kaesong industrial zone has seen a large decrease in investment and manpower as a result of this military conflict . In February 2016 , the Kaesong complex was closed by Seoul in reaction to North Korea 's launch of a rocket earlier in the month unanimously condemned by the United Nations security council . China Main articles : China -- South Korea relations and South Korea -- Taiwan relations Historically , Korea had close relations with the dynasties in China , and some Korean kingdoms were members of the Imperial Chinese tributary system . In modern times , before the formation of South Korea , Korean independence fighters worked with Chinese soldiers during the Japanese occupation . However , after World War II , the People 's Republic of China embraced Maoism while South Korea sought close relations with the United States . The PRC assisted North Korea with manpower and supplies during the Korean War , and in its aftermath the diplomatic relationship between South Korea and the PRC almost completely ceased . Relations thawed gradually and South Korea and the PRC re-established formal diplomatic relations on August 24 , 1992 . The two countries sought to improve bilateral relations and lifted the forty - year - old trade embargo , and South Korean -- Chinese relations have improved steadily since 1992 . The Republic of Korea broke off official relations with the Republic of China ( Taiwan ) upon gaining official relations with the People 's Republic of China , which does n't recognise Taiwan 's sovereignty . Japan Main article : Japan -- South Korea relations See also : History of Japan -- Korea relations and Japan -- Korea disputes Liancourt Rocks has become an issue known as the Liancourt Rocks dispute Although there were no formal diplomatic ties between South Korea and Japan after the end of World War II , South Korea and Japan signed the Treaty on Basic Relations between Japan and the Republic of Korea in 1965 to establish diplomatic ties . There is heavy anti-Japanese sentiment in South Korea because of a number of unsettled Japanese - Korean disputes , many of which stem from the period of Japanese occupation after the Japanese annexation of Korea . During World War II , more than 100,000 Koreans served in the Imperial Japanese Army . Korean women were forced to the war front to serve the Imperial Japanese Army as sexual slaves , called comfort women . Longstanding issues such as Japanese war crimes against Korean civilians , the negationist re-writing of Japanese textbooks relating Japanese atrocities during World War II , the territorial disputes over the Liancourt Rocks , known in South Korea as `` Dokdo '' and in Japan as `` Takeshima '' , and visits by Japanese politicians to the Yasukuni Shrine , honoring Japanese people ( civilians and military ) killed during the war continue to trouble Korean - Japanese relations . The Liancourt Rocks were the first Korean territories to be forcibly colonized by Japan in 1905 . Though it was again returned to Korea along with the rest of its territory in 1951 with the signing of the Treaty of San Francisco , Japan does not recant on its claims that the Liancourt Rocks are Japanese territory . In response to then - Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi 's visits to the Yasukuni Shrine , former President Roh Moo - hyun suspended all summit talks between South Korea and Japan in 2009 . European Union Main article : South Korea -- European Union relations The European Union ( EU ) and South Korea are important trading partners , having negotiated a free trade agreement for many years since South Korea was designated as a priority FTA partner in 2006 . The free trade agreement was approved in September 2010 , and took effect on July 1 , 2011 . South Korea is the EU 's eighth largest trade partner , and the EU has become South Korea 's second largest export destination . EU trade with South Korea exceeded € 65 billion in 2008 and has enjoyed an annual average growth rate of 7.5 % between 2004 and 2008 . The EU has been the single largest foreign investor in South Korea since 1962 , and accounted for almost 45 % of all FDI inflows into Korea in 2006 . Nevertheless , EU companies have significant problems accessing and operating in the South Korean market because of stringent standards and testing requirements for products and services often creating barriers to trade . Both in its regular bilateral contacts with South Korea and through its FTA with Korea , the EU is seeking to improve this situation . United States Main article : South Korea -- United States relations President Park Geun - hye at a bilateral meeting with U.S. President Barack Obama on May 7 , 2013 The United States engaged in the decolonization of Korea ( mainly in the South , with the Soviet Union engaged in North Korea ) from Japan after World War II . After three years of military administration by the United States , the South Korean government was established . Upon the onset of the Korean War , U.S. forces were sent to defend against an invasion from North Korea of the South . Following the Armistice , South Korea and the U.S. agreed to a `` Mutual Defense Treaty '' , under which an attack on either party in the Pacific area would summon a response from both . In 1967 , South Korea obliged the mutual defense treaty , by sending a large combat troop contingent to support the United States in the Vietnam War . The U.S. Eighth Army , Seventh Air Force , and U.S. Naval Forces Korea are stationed in South Korea . The two nations have strong economic , diplomatic , and military ties , although they have at times disagreed with regard to policies towards North Korea , and with regard to some of South Korea 's industrial activities that involve usage of rocket or nuclear technology . There had also been strong anti-American sentiment during certain periods , which has largely moderated in the modern day . In 2007 , a free trade agreement known as the Republic of Korea - United States Free Trade Agreement ( KORUS FTA ) was signed between South Korea and the United States , but its formal implementation was repeatedly delayed , pending approval by the legislative bodies of the two countries . On October 12 , 2011 , the U.S. Congress passed the long - stalled trade agreement with South Korea . It went into effect on March 15 , 2012 . Military Main article : Republic of Korea Armed Forces This section 's factual accuracy may be compromised due to out - of - date information . Please update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information . ( March 2012 ) The unresolved tension with North Korea have prompted South Korea to allocate 2.6 % of its GDP and 15 % of all government spending to its military ( Government share of GDP : 14.967 % ) , while maintaining compulsory conscription for men . Consequently , South Korea has the world 's sixth largest number of active troops ( 650,000 in 2011 ) , the world 's second - largest number of reserve troops ( 3,200,000 in 2011 ) and the eleventh largest defense budget . The Republic of Korea , with both regular and reserve military force numbering 3.7 million regular personnel among a total national population of 50 million people , has the second highest number of soldiers per capita in the world , after the Democratic People 's Republic of Korea . The South Korean military consists of the Army ( ROKA ) , the Navy ( ROKN ) , the Air Force ( ROKAF ) , and the Marine Corps ( ROKMC ) , and reserve forces . Many of these forces are concentrated near the Korean Demilitarized Zone . All South Korean males are constitutionally required to serve in the military , typically 21 months . Previously , Koreans of mixed race were exempt from military duty but no exception from 2011 . ROKN Sejong the Great , a King Sejong the Great - class guided - missile destroyer built by Hyundai Heavy Industries In addition to male conscription in South Korea 's sovereign military , 1,800 Korean males are selected every year to serve 21 months in the KATUSA Program to further augment the United States Forces Korea ( USFK ) . In 2010 , South Korea was spending ₩ 1.68 trillion in a cost - sharing agreement with the US to provide budgetary support to the US forces in Korea , on top of the ₩ 29.6 trillion budget for its own military . The South Korean - developed K2 Black Panther built by Hyundai Rotem The South Korean army has 2,500 tanks in operation , including the K1A1 and K2 Black Panther , which form the backbone of the South Korean army 's mechanized armor and infantry forces . A sizable arsenal of many artillery systems , including 1,700 self - propelled K55 and K9 Thunder howitzers and 680 helicopters and UAVs of numerous types , are assembled to provide additional fire , reconnaissance , and logistics support . South Korea 's smaller but more advanced artillery force and wide range of airborne reconnaissance platforms are pivotal in the counter-battery suppression of North Korea 's large artillery force , which operates more than 13,000 artillery systems deployed in various state of fortification and mobility . The South Korean navy has made its first major transformation into a blue - water navy through the formation of the Strategic Mobile Fleet , which includes a battle group of Chungmugong Yi Sun - sin class destroyers , Dokdo class amphibious assault ship , AIP - driven Type 214 submarines , and King Sejong the Great class destroyers , which is equipped with the latest baseline of Aegis fleet - defense system that allows the ships to track and destroy multiple cruise missiles and ballistic missiles simultaneously , forming an integral part of South Korea 's indigenous missile defense umbrella against the North Korean military 's missile threat . The South Korean air force operates 840 aircraft , making it world 's ninth largest air force , including several types of advanced fighters like F - 15K , heavily modified KF - 16C / D , and the indigenous F / A-50 , supported by well - maintained fleets of older fighters such as F - 4E and KF - 5E / F that still effectively serve the air force alongside the more modern aircraft . In an attempt to gain strength in terms of not just numbers but also modernity , the commissioning of four Boeing 737 AEW&C aircraft , under Project Peace Eye for centralized intelligence gathering and analysis on a modern battlefield , will enhance the fighters ' and other support aircraft 's ability to perform their missions with awareness and precision . In May 2011 , Korea Aerospace Industries Ltd. , South Korea 's largest plane maker , signed a $400 million deal to sell 16 T - 50 Golden Eagle trainer jets to Indonesia , making South Korea the first country in Asia to export supersonic jets . ROKAF FA - 50 , a supersonic combat aircraft developed by Korea Aerospace Industries From time to time , South Korea has sent its troops overseas to assist American forces . It has participated in most major conflicts that the United States has been involved in the past 50 years . South Korea dispatched 325,517 troops to fight alongside American , Australian , Filipino , New Zealand and South Vietnamese soldiers in the Vietnam War , with a peak strength of 50,000 . In 2004 , South Korea sent 3,300 troops of the Zaytun Division to help re-building in northern Iraq , and was the third largest contributor in the coalition forces after only the US and Britain . Beginning in 2001 , South Korea had so far deployed 24,000 troops in the Middle East region to support the War on Terrorism . A further 1,800 were deployed since 2007 to reinforce UN peacekeeping forces in Lebanon . ROKS Dokdo , the lead ship of the Dokdo - class amphibious assault ships built by Hanjin Heavy Industries The United States has stationed a substantial contingent of troops in South Korea since the Korean War to defend South Korea in case of East Asian military crises . There are approximately 28,500 U.S. Military personnel stationed in Korea , most of them serving one year unaccompanied tours . The American troops , which are primarily ground and air units , are assigned to USFK and mainly assigned to the Eighth United States Army of the US Army and Seventh Air Force of the US Air Force . They are stationed in installations at Osan , Kunsan , Yongsan , Dongducheon , Sungbuk , Camp Humphreys , and Daegu , as well as at Camp Bonifas in the DMZ Joint Security Area . A still functioning UN Command is technically the top of the chain of command of all forces in South Korea , including the US forces and the entire South Korean military -- if a sudden escalation of war between North and South Korea were to occur the United States would assume control of the South Korean armed forces in all military and paramilitary moves . However , in September 2006 , the Presidents of the United States and the Republic of Korea agreed that South Korea should assume the lead for its own defense . In early 2007 , the U.S. Secretary of Defense and ROK Minister of National Defense determined that South Korea will assume wartime operational control of its forces on December 1 , 2015 . USFK will transform into a new joint - warfighting command , provisionally described as Korea Command ( KORCOM ) . Economy Main article : Economy of South Korea Graphical depiction of Korea 's product exports in 28 color - coded categories South Korea 's mixed economy ranks 11th nominal and 13th purchasing power parity GDP in the world , identifying it as one of the G - 20 major economies . It is a developed country with a high - income economy and is the most industrialized member country of the OECD . South Korean brands such as LG Electronics and Samsung are internationally famous . With its massive investment in education has taken the country from mass illiteracy to a major international technological powerhouse . The country 's national economy benefits from a highly skilled workforce and is among the most educated countries in the world with the one of the highest percentage of its citizens holding a tertiary education degree . South Korea 's economy was one of the world 's fastest - growing from the early 1960s to the late 1990s , and South Korea is still one of the fastest - growing developed countries in the 2000s , along with Hong Kong , Singapore , and Taiwan , the other three Asian Tigers . South Koreans refer to this growth as the Miracle on the Han River . The South Korean economy is heavily dependent on international trade , and in 2014 , South Korea was the 5th largest exporter and 7th largest importer in the world . South Korea hosted the fifth G20 summit in its capital city , Seoul , in November 2010 . The two - day summit was expected to boost South Korea 's economy by 31 trillion won , or 4 % of South Korea 's 2010 GDP , in economic effects , and create over 160,000 jobs in South Korea . It may also help improve the country 's sovereign credit rating . Despite the South Korean economy 's high growth potential and apparent structural stability , the country suffers damage to its credit rating in the stock market because of the belligerence of North Korea in times of deep military crises , which has an adverse effect on South Korean financial markets . The International Monetary Fund compliments the resilience of the South Korean economy against various economic crises , citing low state debt and high fiscal reserves that can quickly be mobilized to address financial emergencies . Although it was severely harmed by the Asian economic crisis of the late 1990s , the South Korean economy managed a rapid recovery and subsequently tripled its GDP . Furthermore , South Korea was one of the few developed countries that were able to avoid a recession during the global financial crisis . Its economic growth rate reached 6.2 percent in 2010 ( the fastest growth for eight years after significant growth by 7.2 percent in 2002 ) , a sharp recovery from economic growth rates of 2.3 % in 2008 and 0.2 % in 2009 , when the global financial crisis hit . The unemployment rate in South Korea also remained low in 2009 , at 3.6 % .

The Korean Developed Daegu Metro Line 3 monorail South Korea has a technologically advanced transport network consisting of high - speed railways , highways , bus routes , ferry services , and air routes that criss - cross the country . Korea Expressway Corporation operates the toll highways and service amenities en route . Korail provides frequent train services to all major South Korean cities . Two rail lines , Gyeongui and Donghae Bukbu Line , to North Korea are now being reconnected . The Korean high - speed rail system , KTX , provides high - speed service along Gyeongbu and Honam Line . Major cities including Seoul , Busan , Incheon , Daegu , Daejeon and Gwangju have urban rapid transit systems . Express bus terminals are available in most cities . South Korea 's largest airport , Incheon International Airport , was completed in 2001 . By 2007 , it was serving 30 million passengers a year . Other international airports include Gimpo , Busan and Jeju . There are also seven domestic airports , and a large number of heliports . Incheon International Airport Station 's Maglev station The Korean developed Incheon Airport Maglev is the world 's second commercially operating maglev Korean Air , founded in 1962 , served 21,640,000 passengers , including 12,490,000 international passengers in 2008 . A second carrier , Asiana Airlines , established in 1988 , also serves domestic and international traffic . Combined , South Korean airlines serve 297 international routes . Smaller airlines , such as Jeju Air , provide domestic service with lower fares . South Korea is the world 's fifth - largest nuclear power producer and the second - largest in Asia as of 2010 . Nuclear power in South Korea supplies 45 % of electricity production , and research is very active with investigation into a variety of advanced reactors , including a small modular reactor , a liquid - metal fast / transmutation reactor and a high - temperature hydrogen generation design . Fuel production and waste handling technologies have also been developed locally . It is also a member of the ITER project . South Korea is an emerging exporter of nuclear reactors , having concluded agreements with the UAE to build and maintain four advanced nuclear reactors , with Jordan for a research nuclear reactor , and with Argentina for construction and repair of heavy - water nuclear reactors . As of 2010 , South Korea and Turkey are in negotiations regarding construction of two nuclear reactors . South Korea is also preparing to bid on construction of a light - water nuclear reactor for Argentina . South Korea is not allowed to enrich uranium or develop traditional uranium enrichment technology on its own , because of US political pressure , unlike most major nuclear powers such as Japan , Germany , and France , competitors of South Korea in the international nuclear market . This impediment to South Korea 's indigenous nuclear industrial undertaking has sparked occasional diplomatic rows between the two allies . While South Korea is successful in exporting its electricity - generating nuclear technology and nuclear reactors , it can not capitalize on the market for nuclear enrichment facilities and refineries , preventing it from further expanding its export niche . South Korea has sought unique technologies such as pyroprocessing to circumvent these obstacles and seek a more advantageous competition . The US has recently been wary of South Korea 's burgeoning nuclear program , which South Korea insists will be for civilian use only . South Korea is the third highest ranked Asian country in the World Economic Forum 's Network Readiness Index ( NRI ) after Singapore and Hong Kong respectively -- an indicator for determining the development level of a country 's information and communication technologies . South Korea ranked number 10 overall in the 2014 NRI ranking , up from 11 in 2013 . Tourism Main article : Tourism in South Korea In 2012 , 11.1 million foreign tourists visited South Korea , making it the 20th most visited country in the world , up from 8.5 million in 2010 . Due to Hallyu , South Korea welcomed more than 12 million visitors in 2013 with 6 million tourists coming from China alone . With rising tourist prospects , especially from foreign countries outside of Asia , the South Korean government has set a target of attracting 20 million foreign tourists a year by 2017 . Hallyu 's positive effects of the nation 's entertainment industry are not limited to within its culture industry , according to a study by the Hyundai Research Institute . The Hyundai Research Institute reported that the Korean Wave has a direct impact in encouraging direct foreign investment back into the country through demand for products , and the tourism industry . Among Asian countries , China was the most receptive , investing 1.4 billion in South Korea , with much of the investment within its service sector , a sevenfold increase from 2001 . According to economist , Han Sang - Wan , shown an analysis that a 1 percent increase of exports of Korean cultural content pushes consumer goods exports up 0.083 percent while a 1 percent increase in Korean pop content exports to a country produces a 0.019 percent bump in tourism . South Korean national pension system The South Korean pension system was created to provide benefits to persons reaching old age , families and persons stricken with death of their primary breadwinner , and for the purposes of stabilizing its nations welfare state . South Korea 's pensions system structure is primarily based on taxation and is income - related . In 2007 there was a total of 18,367,000 insured individuals with only around 511,000 persons excluded from mandatory contribution . The current pension system is divided into four categories distributing benefits to participants through national , military personnel , governmental , and private school teacher pension schemes . The national pension scheme is the primary welfare system providing allowances to the majority of persons . Eligibility for the national pension scheme is not dependent on income but on age and residence , where those between the ages of 18 to 59 are covered . Any one who is under the age of 18 are dependents of someone who is covered or under a special exclusion where they are allowed to alternate provisions . The national pension scheme is divided into four categories of insured persons -- the workplace - based insured , the individually insured , the voluntarily insured , and the voluntarily and continuously insured . Employees between the ages of 18 to 59 are covered under the workplace - based pension scheme and contribute 4.5 % of their gross monthly earnings . The national pension covers employees who work in firms that employ five or more employees , fishermen , farmers , and the self - employed in both rural and urban areas . Employers are also covered under the workplace - based pension scheme and help cover their employees obligated 9 % contribution by providing the remaining 4.5 % . Anyone who is not employed , of the age of 60 or above , and excluded by article 6 of the National Pension Act but of the ages between 18 and 59 , is covered under the individually insured pension scheme . Persons covered by the individually insured pension scheme are in charge of paying the entire 9 % contribution themselves . Voluntarily insured persons are not subjected to mandatory coverage but can choose to be . This category comprises retirees who voluntarily choose to have additional benefits , individuals under the age of 27 without income , and individuals whose spouses are covered under a public welfare system , whether military , governmental , or private school teacher pensions . Like the Individually insured persons , they too are in charge of covering the full amount of the contribution . Voluntarily and continuously insured persons consists of individuals 60 years of age who want to fulfill the minimum insured period of 20 years to qualify for old age pension benefits . Excluding the workplace - based insured persons , all the other insured persons personally cover their own 9 % contribution . South Korea 's old - age pension scheme covers individuals age 60 or older for the rest of their life as long as they have satisfied the minimum of 20 years of national pension coverage before hand . Individuals with a minimum of 10 years covered under the national pension scheme and who are 60 years of age are able to be covered by under a ' reduced old - age pension ' scheme . There also is an ' active old - age pension ' scheme that covers individuals age 60 to 65 engaged in activities yielding earned income . Individuals age of 55 and younger than 60 who are not engaged in activities yielding earned income are eligible to be covered under the ' early old - age pension ' scheme . Around 60 % of all Korean elders , age 65 and over are entitled to a 5 % benefit of their past average income at an average of 90,000 Korean Won ( KRW ) . Basic old - age pension schemes covered individuals 65 years of age who earned below an amount set by presidential order . In 2010 , that ceiling was 700 , 00 KRW for a single individual and 1,120,000 for a couple , equivalent to around $600.00 and $960.00 . Science and technology Main article : History of science and technology in Korea See also : List of Korean inventions and discoveries A 3D OLED TV made by Korean LG Display , the world 's largest LCD and OLED maker Scientific and technological development in the South Korea at first did not occur largely because of more pressing matters such as the division of Korea and the Korean War that occurred right after its independence . It was n't until the 1960s under the dictatorship of Park Chung - hee where South Korea 's economy rapidly grew from industrialisation and the Chaebol corporations such as Samsung and LG . Ever since the industrialization of South Korea 's economy , South Korea has placed its focus on technology - based corporations , which has been supported by infrastructure developments by the government . South Korean corporations Samsung and LG were ranked first and third largest mobile phone companies in the world in the first quarter of 2012 , respectively . An estimated 90 % of South Koreans own a mobile phone . Aside from placing / receiving calls and text messaging , mobile phones in the country are widely used for watching Digital Multimedia Broadcasting ( DMB ) or viewing websites . Over one million DMB phones have been sold and the three major wireless communications providers SK Telecom , KT , and LG U+ provide coverage in all major cities and other areas . South Korea has the fastest Internet download speeds in the world , with an average download speed of 25.3 Mbit / s . South Korea leads the OECD in graduates in science and engineering . The country ranks first among the most innovative countries in the Bloomberg Innovation Index . Additionally , South Korea today is known as a Launchpad of a mature mobile market , where developers can reap benefits of a market where very few technology constraints exist . There is a growing trend of inventions of new types of media or apps , utilizing the 4G and 5G internet infrastructure in South Korea . South Korea has today the infrastructures to meet a density of population and culture that has the capability to create strong local particularity . Cyber Security Following cyberattacks in the first half of 2013 , whereby government , news - media , television station , and bank websites were compromised , the national government committed to the training of 5,000 new cybersecurity experts by 2017 . The South Korean government blamed its northern counterpart for these attacks , as well as incidents that occurred in 2009 , 2011 and 2012 , but Pyongyang denies the accusations . In late September 2013 , a computer - security competition jointly sponsored by the defense ministry and the National Intelligence Service was announced . The winners were announced on September 29 , 2013 and shared a total prize pool of 80 million won ( US $ 74,000 ) . Aerospace engineering Main article : Korea Aerospace Research Institute A replica of the Naro - 1 South Korea has sent up 10 satellites from 1992 , all using foreign rockets and overseas launch pads , notably Arirang - 1 in 1999 , and Arirang - 2 in 2006 as part of its space partnership with Russia . Arirang - 1 was lost in space in 2008 , after nine years in service . In April 2008 , Yi So - yeon became the first Korean to fly in space , aboard the Russian Soyuz TMA - 12 . In June 2009 , the first spaceport of South Korea , Naro Space Center , was completed at Goheung , Jeollanam - do . The launch of Naro - 1 in August 2009 resulted in a failure . The second attempt in June 2010 was also unsuccessful . However the third launch of the Naro 1 in January 2013 was successful . The government plans to develop Naro - 2 by the year 2018 . South Korea 's efforts to build an indigenous space launch vehicle is marred because of persistent political pressure of the United States , who had for many decades hindered South Korea 's indigenous rocket and missile development programs in fear of their possible connection to clandestine military ballistic missile programs , which Korea many times insisted did not violate the research and development guidelines stipulated by US - Korea agreements on restriction of South Korean rocket technology research and development . South Korea has sought the assistance of foreign countries such as Russia through MTCR commitments to supplement its restricted domestic rocket technology . The two failed KSLV - I launch vehicles were based on the Universal Rocket Module , the first stage of the Russian Angara rocket , combined with a solid - fueled second stage built by South Korea . Robotics Albert HUBO , developed by KAIST , can make expressive gestures with its five separate fingers Robotics has been included in the list of main national R&D projects in Korea since 2003 . In 2009 , the government announced plans to build robot - themed parks in Incheon and Masan with a mix of public and private funding . In 2005 , Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology ( KAIST ) developed the world 's second walking humanoid robot , HUBO . A team in the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology developed the first Korean android , EveR - 1 in May 2006 . EveR - 1 has been succeeded by more complex models with improved movement and vision . Plans of creating English - teaching robot assistants to compensate for the shortage of teachers were announced in February 2010 , with the robots being deployed to most preschools and kindergartens by 2013 . Robotics are also incorporated in the entertainment sector as well ; the Korean Robot Game Festival has been held every year since 2004 to promote science and robot technology . Biotechnology Since the 1980s , the Korean government has invested in the development of a domestic biotechnology industry , and the sector is projected to grow to $6.5 billion by 2010 . The medical sector accounts for a large part of the production , including production of hepatitis vaccines and antibiotics . Recently , research and development in genetics and cloning has received increasing attention , with the first successful cloning of a dog , Snuppy ( in 2005 ) , and the cloning of two females of an endangered species of wolves by the Seoul National University in 2007 . The rapid growth of the industry has resulted in significant voids in regulation of ethics , as was highlighted by the scientific misconduct case involving Hwang Woo - Suk . Culture Main article : Culture of South Korea See also : Culture of Korea A musician playing a gayageum South Korea shares its traditional culture with North Korea , but the two Koreas have developed distinct contemporary forms of culture since the peninsula was divided in 1945 . Historically , while the culture of Korea has been heavily influenced by that of neighboring China , it has nevertheless managed to develop a unique cultural identity that is distinct from its larger neighbor . Its rich and vibrant culture left 19 UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritages of Humanity , the third largest in the world , along with 12 World Heritage Sites . The South Korean Ministry of Culture , Sports and Tourism actively encourages the traditional arts , as well as modern forms , through funding and education programs . The industrialization and urbanization of South Korea have brought many changes to the way Korean people live . Changing economics and lifestyles have led to a concentration of population in major cities , especially the capital Seoul , with multi-generational households separating into nuclear family living arrangements . A 2014 Euromonitor study found that South Koreans drink the most alcohol on a weekly basis compared to the rest of the world . South Koreans drink 13.7 shots of liquor per week on average and , of the 44 other countries analyzed , Russia , the Philippines , and Thailand follow . Art Main article : Korean art Blue and white porcelain peach - shaped water dropper from Joseon Dynasty in 18th century Korean art has been highly influenced by Buddhism and Confucianism , which can be seen in the many traditional paintings , sculptures , ceramics and the performing arts . Korean pottery and porcelain , such as Joseon 's baekja and buncheong , and Goryeo 's celadon are well known throughout the world . The Korean tea ceremony , pansori , talchum and buchaechum are also notable Korean performing arts . Post-war modern Korean art started to flourish in the 1960s and 1970s , when South Korean artists took interest in geometrical shapes and intangible subjects . Establishing a harmony between man and nature was also a favorite of this time . Because of social instability , social issues appeared as main subjects in the 1980s . Art was influenced by various international events and exhibits in Korea , and with it brought more diversity . The Olympic Sculpture Garden in 1988 , the transposition of the 1993 edition of the Whitney Biennial to Seoul , the creation of the Gwangju Biennale and the Korean Pavilion at the Venice Biennale in 1995 were notable events . Architecture Main article : Architecture of South Korea See also : Korean architecture Namdaemun Because of South Korea 's tumultuous history , construction and destruction has been repeated endlessly , resulting in an interesting melange of architectural styles and designs . Korean traditional architecture is characterized by its harmony with nature . Ancient architects adopted the bracket system characterized by thatched roofs and heated floors called ondol . People of the upper classes built bigger houses with elegantly curved tiled roofs with lifting eaves . Traditional architecture can be seen in the palaces and temples , preserved old houses called hanok , and special sites like Hahoe Folk Village , Yangdong Village of Gyeongju and Korean Folk Village . Traditional architecture may also be seen at the nine UNESCO World Heritage Sites in South Korea . Bulguksa , a UNESCO World Heritage Site Western architecture was first introduced to Korea at the end of the 19th century . Churches , offices for foreign legislation , schools and university buildings were built in new styles . With the annexation of Korea by Japan in 1910 the colonial regime intervened in Korea 's architectural heritage , and Japanese - style modern architecture was imposed . The anti-Japanese sentiment , and the Korean War , led to the destruction of most buildings constructed during that time . Korean architecture entered a new phase of development during the post-Korean War reconstruction , incorporating modern architectural trends and styles . Stimulated by the economic growth in the 1970s and 1980s , active redevelopment saw new horizons in architectural design . In the aftermath of the 1988 Seoul Olympics , South Korea has witnessed a wide variation of styles in its architectural landscape due , in large part , to the opening up of the market to foreign architects . Contemporary architectural efforts have been constantly trying to balance the traditional philosophy of `` harmony with nature '' and the fast - paced urbanization that the country has been going through in recent years . Cuisine Main article : Korean cuisine Bibimbap Korean cuisine , hanguk yori ( 한국 요리 ; 韓國 料理 ) , or hansik ( 한식 ; 韓 食 ) , has evolved through centuries of social and political change . Ingredients and dishes vary by province . There are many significant regional dishes that have proliferated in different variations across the country in the present day . The Korean royal court cuisine once brought all of the unique regional specialties together for the royal family . Meals consumed both by the royal family and ordinary Korean citizens have been regulated by a unique culture of etiquette . Korean cuisine is largely based on rice , noodles , tofu , vegetables , fish and meats . Traditional Korean meals are noted for the number of side dishes , banchan ( 반찬 ) , which accompany steam - cooked short - grain rice . Every meal is accompanied by numerous banchan . Kimchi ( 김치 ) , a fermented , usually spicy vegetable dish is commonly served at every meal and is one of the best known Korean dishes . Korean cuisine usually involves heavy seasoning with sesame oil , doenjang ( 된장 ) , a type of fermented soybean paste , soy sauce , salt , garlic , ginger , and gochujang ( 고추장 ) , a hot pepper paste . Other well - known dishes are Bulgogi ( 불고기 ) , grilled marinated beef , Gimbap ( 김밥 ) , and Tteokbokki ( 떡볶이 ) , a spicy snack consisting of rice cake seasoned with gochujang or a spicy chili paste . Soups are also a common part of a Korean meal and are served as part of the main course rather than at the beginning or the end of the meal . Soups known as guk ( 국 ) are often made with meats , shellfish and vegetables . Similar to guk , tang ( 탕 ; 湯 ) has less water , and is more often served in restaurants . Another type is jjigae ( 찌개 ) , a stew that is typically heavily seasoned with chili pepper and served boiling hot . Popular Korean alcoholic beverages include Soju , Makgeolli and Bokbunja ju . Korea is unique among Asian countries in its use of metal chopsticks . Metal chopsticks have been discovered in Goguryeo archaeological sites . Entertainment Main articles : Korean Wave , Music of South Korea , Cinema of South Korea , and Korean drama Rain , one of the most popular music artists in South Korea , found international fame by reaching a global audience through his music and films . In addition to domestic consumption , South Korea has a thriving entertainment industry where various facets of South Korean entertainment including television dramas , films , and popular music has generated significant financial revenues for the nation 's economy . The cultural phenomenon known as Hallyu or the `` Korean Wave '' , has swept many countries across Asia making South Korea a major soft power as an exporter of popular culture and entertainment , rivaling Western nations such as the United States and the United Kingdom . Until the 1990s , trot and traditional Korean folk based ballads dominated South Korean popular music . The emergence of the South Korean pop group Seo Taiji and Boys in 1992 marked a turning point for South Korean popular music , also known as K - pop , as the genre modernized itself from incorporating elements of popular musical genres from the West such as Western popular music , experimental , jazz , gospel , Latin , classical , hip hop , rhythm and blues , electronic dance , reggae , country , folk , and rock on top of its uniquely traditional Korean music roots . Western - style pop , hip hop , rhythm and blues , rock , folk , electronic dance oriented acts have become dominant in the modern South Korean popular music scene , though trot is still enjoyed among older South Koreans . K - pop stars and groups are well known across Asia and have found international fame making millions of dollars in export revenue . Many K - pop acts have also been able secure a strong overseas following following using online social media platforms such as the video sharing website YouTube . South Korean singer PSY became an international sensation when his song `` Gangnam Style '' topped global music charts in 2012 . Since the success of the film Shiri in 1999 , the Korean film industry has begun to gain recognition internationally . Domestic film has a dominant share of the market , partly because of the existence of screen quotas requiring cinemas to show Korean films at least 73 days a year . South Korean television shows have become popular outside of Korea . South Korean television dramas , known as K - dramas have begun to find fame internationally . Many dramas tend to have a romantic focus , such as Princess Hours , You 're Beautiful , Playful Kiss , My Name is Kim Sam Soon , Boys Over Flowers , Winter Sonata , Autumn in My Heart , Full House , City Hunter , All About Eve , Secret Garden , I Can Hear Your Voice , Master 's Sun , My Love from the Star , Healer , Descendants of the Sun and Guardian : The Lonely and Great God .

Koguryŏ was the first to open hostilities , with a bold assault across the Liao River against Liao - hsi , in 598 . The Sui emperor , Wen Ti , launched a retaliatory attack on Koguryŏ but met with reverses and turned back in mid-course . Yang Ti , the next Sui emperor , proceeded in 612 to mount an invasion of unprecedented magnitude , marshalling a huge force said to number over a million men . And when his armies failed to take Liao - tung Fortress ( modern Liao - yang ) , the anchor of Koguryŏ 's first line of defense , he had a nearly a third of his forces , some 300,000 strong , break off the battle there and strike directly at the Koguryŏ capital of P'yŏngyang . But the Sui army was lured into a trap by the famed Koguryŏ commander Ŭlchi Mundŏk , and suffered a calamitous defeat at the Salsu ( Ch'ŏngch'ŏn ) River . It is said that only 2,700 of the 300,000 Sui soldiers who had crossed the Yalu survived to find their way back , and the Sui emperor now lifted the siege of Liao - tung Fortress and withdrew his forces to China proper . Yang Ti continued to send his armies against Koguryŏ but again without success , and before long his war - weakened empire crumbled . Jump up ^ Nahm , Andrew C. ( 2005 ) .

China , which had been split into many states since the early 3rd century , was reunified by the Sui dynasty at the end of the 6th century . Soon after that , Sui China mobilized a large number of troops and launched war against Koguryŏ . However , the people of Koguryŏ were united and they were able to repel the Chinese aggressors . In 612 , Sui troops invaded Korea again , but Koguryŏ forces fought bravely and destroyed Sui troops everywhere . General Ŭlchi Mundŏk of Koguryŏ completely wiped out some 300,000 Sui troops which came across the Yalu River in the battles near the Salsu River ( now Ch'ŏngch'ŏn River ) with his ingenious military tactics . Only 2,700 Sui troops were able to flee from Korea . The Sui dynasty , which wasted so much energy and manpower in aggressive wars against Koguryŏ , fell in 618 .

From what Ennin tells us , it seems that commerce between East China , Korea and Japan was , for the most part , in the hands of men from Silla . Here in the relatively dangerous waters on the eastern fringes of the world , they performed the same functions as did the traders of the placid Mediterranean on the western fringes . This is a historical fact of considerable significance but one which has received virtually no attention in the standard historical compilations of that period or in the modern books based on these sources ... While there were limits to the influence of the Koreans along the eastern coast of China , there can be no doubt of their dominance over the waters off these shores ... The days of Korean maritime dominance in the Far East actually were numbered , but in Ennin 's time the men of Silla were still the masters of the seas in their part of the world .

When Parhae perished at the hands of the Khitan around this same time , much of its ruling class , who were of Koguryŏ descent , fled to Koryŏ . Wang Kŏn warmly welcomed them and generously gave them land . Along with bestowing the name Wang Kye ( `` Successor of the Royal Wang '' ) on the Parhae crown prince , Tae Kwang - hyŏn , Wang Kŏn entered his name in the royal household register , thus clearly conveying the idea that they belonged to the same lineage , and also had rituals performed in honor of his progenitor . Thus Koryŏ achieved a true national unification that embraced not only the Later Three Kingdoms but even survivors of Koguryŏ lineage from the Parhae kingdom .

The Republic of Korea, with both regular and reserve military force numbering 3.7 million regular personnel among a total national population of 50 million people, has the second highest number of soldiers per capita in the world,[267] after the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.[268]",

'' She added that her role in the upcoming movie Bogus would jeopardize her busy schedule . In addition , her Comic Relief co-host and veteran Oscar emcee Billy Crystal also declined to host the show citing his commitment to his film Forget Paris which he directed , written , starred , and produced . Producer Gil Cates hired actor , comedian , and Late Show host David Letterman as host of the 1995 ceremony . Cates explained his decision to hire the late night talk show host saying , `` He 's punctual , he 's well groomed , and he knows how to keep an audience awake . '' ABC entertainment president Ted Harbert also approved of the choice stating , `` If Dave likes the experience , this could be a great answer for the show , just the way Johnny Carson did the show for many years . '' As with previous ceremonies he produced , Cates centered the show around a theme . This year , he christened the show with the theme `` Comedy and the Movies '' commenting `` This year , because of the earthquakes and floods and Bosnia and Rwanda , it was a ( terrible ) year , and therefore seemed a great year to celebrate what movies can really give us , which is an opportunity to go for two hours in the dark and laugh together . Even with television , it 's not a community experience unless you have a very big family . So it 's unique to movies and theater , and it 's this very human thing . '' In tandem with the theme , the ceremony 's opening number featured a montage produced by Chuck Workman featuring scenes of humorous moments from a variety of both comedic and non-comedic films . During that segment , actors Tim Curry , Kathy Najimy , and Mara Wilson performing a modified version of the song `` Make ' Em Laugh '' from the film Singin ' in the Rain . Several collections of film clips were shown throughout the broadcast highlighting various aspects of comedy such as troupes and dialogue . Several other people were also involved with the production of the ceremony . Bill Conti served as musical director and conductor for the event . Production designer Roy Christopher designed a new stage for the ceremony which prominently featured a proscenium which was designed to resemble the iris of a camera . Moreover , Christopher commented that the iris motif was inspired by the iris shot prominently featured in several comedic films and shorts . Dancer Debbie Allen choreographed The Lion King musical number . Actors Alec Baldwin , Jack Lemmon , Steve Martin , and Rosie O'Donnell participated in a pre-taped comedic sketch lampooning auditions for a role in Cabin Boy , the film in which Letterman made his film acting debut . Box office performance of nominees ( edit ) At the time of the nominations announcement on February 14 , the combined gross of the five Best Picture nominees at the US box office was $468 million , with an average of $93.6 million per film . Forrest Gump was the highest earner among the Best Picture nominees with $300 million in domestic box office receipts . The film was followed by Pulp Fiction ( $76 million ) , Four Weddings and a Funeral ( $52 million ) , The Shawshank Redemption ( $16 million ) and Quiz Show ( $21 million ) . Of the top 50 grossing movies of the year , 44 nominations went to 14 films on the list . Only Forrest Gump ( 2nd ) , The Client ( 12th ) , Pulp Fiction ( 14th ) , Four Weddings and a Funeral ( 20th ) , and Nell ( 41st ) were nominated for directing , acting , screenwriting , or Best Picture . The other top 50 box office hits that earned nominations were The Lion King ( 1st ) , True Lies ( 3rd ) , Clear and Present Danger ( 6th ) , Speed ( 7th ) , The Mask ( 8th ) , Interview with the Vampire ( 10th ) , Maverick ( 11th ) , Legends of the Fall ( 27th ) and Little Women ( 31st ) . Critical reception ( edit ) The show received a negative reception from most media publications . John J. O'Connor of The New York Times wrote , `` Instead of keeping things moving smartly , Mr. Letterman stuck with his late - night shtick , too often leaving the show 's pacing in shambles . '' He also added , `` Within the show 's first half - hour , with no strong hand at the helm , the audience simply sagged . Applause died long before most winners even reached the podium . '' Television critic John Carman of the San Francisco Chronicle commented , `` Last night on ABC , no one got it . Hollywood 's big event was wonderfully littered by technical errors , bad taste , low comedy and lower necklines . '' Moreover , he remarked , `` Letterman , the rookie host , was off his game in his opening monologue . Maybe it was the big auditorium . Or a billion people in the television audience . '' Film critic Andrew Sarris of The New York Observer quipped , `` Not only was he not witty or funny , he never knew when to let bad enough alone . '' He concluded , `` As the evening dragged on , it became obvious that Mr. Letterman had no gift for ad - libbing through the few unpredictable opportunities in a ' live ' event like the Oscars . '' People named the ceremony as one of the worst television broadcasts of 1995 , remarking that Letterman was `` a cranky skeptic ( who ) visit ( ed ) the high temple of show business , mock ( ed ) the gold - plated statuary and display ( ed ) insufficient reverence for the gods . ( Tom Hanks assisting with a stupid pet trick ? ! ) We know who the winner was n't . '' Some media outlets received the broadcast more positively . Television critic Joyce Millman of The San Francisco Examiner noted , `` In his first stint as host of the Oscar telecast , David Letterman did the impossible -- he made something entertaining from what is traditionally the most boring three hours of TV this side of a test pattern . '' The Buffalo News columnist Alan Pergament praised Letterman 's performance as host writing `` David Letterman was a box full of chocolates on an Oscar night that was empty of much emotion until the expected Forrest Gump sweep in the final 15 minutes . '' He also added that despite a lack of surprises amongst the awards , the emotional and unexpected humorous moments provided depth and entertainment throughout the evening . Hal Boedeker of the Orlando Sentinel gave an average review of the ceremony but singled out Letterman noting that he `` proved Monday night that he 's among Oscar 's Top 10 Hosts . He 's definitely at the top of the list with Johnny Carson , Billy Crystal and Bob Hope . '' Ratings and reception ( edit ) The American telecast on ABC drew in an average of 48.28 million people over its length , which was a 7 % increase from the previous year 's ceremony . An estimated 81 million total viewers watched all or part of the awards . The show also drew higher Nielsen ratings compared to the previous ceremony with 32.5 % of households watching over a 53 share . In addition , it also drew a higher 18 -- 49 demo rating with a 21.7 rating among viewers in that demographic . It was the most watched Oscars telecast since the 55th ceremony held in 1983 . In July 1995 , the ceremony presentation received six nominations at the 47th Primetime Emmys . Two months later , the ceremony won one of those nominations for Jeff Margolis 's direction of the telecast .

Jack wants revenge against Barbossa , who left him stranded on an island before stealing his ship , the Black Pearl , along with 882 pieces of cursed Aztec Gold . Dead Man 's Chest ( 2006 ) ( edit ) Main article : Pirates of the Caribbean : Dead Man 's Chest Lord Cutler Beckett of the East India Trading Company arrests Will and Elizabeth for aiding Captain Jack Sparrow in the previous film . Beckett offers clemency if Will agrees to search for Jack 's compass in a bid to find the Dead Man 's Chest -- and inside , the heart of villainous Davy Jones -- which would give Beckett control of the seas . However , Jack wants the Chest to escape from an unpaid debt with Jones , who made Jack captain of the Black Pearl for 13 years in exchange for 100 years of service aboard Jones ' ship , the Flying Dutchman . At World 's End ( 2007 ) ( edit ) Main article : Pirates of the Caribbean : At World 's End Lord Beckett gains power over Davy Jones and , with the help of the Flying Dutchman , he is now executing his plans to extinguish piracy forever . To stand against the East India Trading Co. , Will , Elizabeth , Barbossa , and the crew of the Black Pearl set out to rescue Captain Jack Sparrow from Davy Jones ' Locker . As one of the Nine Pirate Lords , Jack is needed in order to release an ancient goddess with the power to defeat Beckett 's forces . On Stranger Tides ( 2011 ) ( edit ) Main article : Pirates of the Caribbean : On Stranger Tides Captain Jack Sparrow is on a quest to find the fabled Fountain of Youth and crosses paths with a former lover , Angelica . She forces Jack aboard the Queen Anne 's Revenge , a ship captained by the infamous pirate Blackbeard , Angelica 's father .

Dead Men Tell No Tales ( 2017 ) ( edit ) Main article : Pirates of the Caribbean : Dead Men Tell No Tales Ghost Spanish Royal Navy soldiers led by Jack Sparrow 's old nemesis , Captain Armando Salazar , escape from the Devil 's Triangle , with the goal of killing every pirate at sea , including him . To survive , Jack seeks out the legendary Trident of Poseidon , a powerful artifact whose owner can control the seas and break curses . Upcoming : Pirates of the Caribbean 6 ( tba ) ( edit ) Shortly before the release of On Stranger Tides , it was reported that Disney was planning to shoot the fifth and the sixth films back - to - back , although it was later revealed that only the fifth film was in development . On March 4 , 2017 , director Joachim Rønning stated that Dead Men Tell No Tales was only the beginning of the final adventure , implying that it would not be the last film of the franchise and that a sixth film could be released . In September 2017 , producer Jerry Bruckheimer indicated that another Pirates of the Caribbean sequel is still possible if Dead Men Tell No Tales does well in its home release . In October 2017 , Kaya Scodelario said that she was contracted to return for a sixth film . Shortly after , it was announced that Joachim Rønning is being eyed to direct the film . Short film ( edit ) Tales of the Code : wedlocked ( 2011 ) ( edit ) Wenches Scarlett ( Lauren Maher ) and Giselle ( Vanessa Branch ) fix each other up for their wedding , in which they would each marry their groom . Upon realizing that both their grooms were the same man -- Jack Sparrow -- the two wenches find themselves in an auction led by the Auctioneer . The short film serves as a prequel to The Curse of the Black Pearl , explaining just why Jack Sparrow 's boat , the Jolly Mon , was seen sinking at the beginning of the whole story , and explaining why wenches Scarlett and Giselle were so upset with him , and it also implies how Cotton lost his tongue . The plot took inspiration from the `` Auction scene '' from the original ride . The short was directed by James Ward Byrkit , and was only included as a special feature in the US 15 - disc 3D Blu - ray / 2D Blu - ray / DVD + Digital Copy box set that includes films 1 -- 4 ; and in the similar UK five - disc set . Byrkit conceived the idea for the project while on sets Rick Heinrichs production designed for Pirates of the Caribbean : Dead Man 's Chest ( 2006 ) and Pirates of the Caribbean : At World 's End ( 2007 ) . As the pirate cove sets from the feature films -- where the short film takes place -- were set to be demolished , the short project was prepped in a matter of days and shot over three days . Byrkit based the short film on the Pirate Code Book as it was a device that could tie into other stories later . Production ( edit ) First film ( edit ) In the early 1990s screenwriters Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio conceived a supernatural spin on the pirate genre after completing work on Aladdin , but there was no interest from any studio . Undeterred , the writing team refused to give up the dream , waiting for a studio to pick up their take on a pirate tale . Disney had Jay Wolpert write a script based on the Pirates of the Caribbean , which producer Jerry Bruckheimer rejected , feeling it was `` a straight pirate movie '' . Bruckheimer brought Stuart Beattie in to rewrite the script in March 2002 , due to his knowledge of piracy , and later that month Elliott and Rossio were brought in . Elliott and Rossio , inspired by the opening narration of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride , decided to give the film a supernatural edge . As the budget rose , Michael Eisner and Robert Iger threatened to cancel the film , though Bruckheimer changed their minds when he showed them concept art and animatics . In June 2002 Gore Verbinski signed on to direct The Curse of the Black Pearl , and Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush signed on the following month to star . Verbinski was attracted to the idea of using modern technology to resurrect a genre , one that had disappeared after the Golden Age of Hollywood , and recalled his childhood memories of the ride , feeling the film was an opportunity to pay tribute to the `` scary and funny '' tone of it . Depp was attracted to the story as he found it quirky : rather than trying to find treasure , the crew of the Black Pearl were trying to return it in order to lift their curse ; also , the traditional mutiny had already taken place . Verbinski approached Rush for the role of Barbossa , as he knew he would not play it with attempts at complexity , but with a simple villainy that would suit the story 's tone . Orlando Bloom read the script after Rush , with whom he was working on Ned Kelly , suggested it to him . Keira Knightley came as a surprise to Verbinski : he had not seen her performance in Bend It Like Beckham and was impressed by her audition . Tom Wilkinson was negotiated with to play Governor Swann , but the role went to Jonathan Pryce , whom Depp idolized . Shooting for The Curse of the Black Pearl began on October 9 , 2002 and wrapped by March 7 , 2003 . Before its release , many executives and journalists had expected the film to flop , as the pirate genre had not been successful for years , the film was based on a theme - park ride , and Depp rarely made a big film . However , The Curse of the Black Pearl became both a critical and commercial success . Second and third films ( edit ) After seeing how well the first film was made , the cast and crew signed for two sequels to be shot back - to - back , a practical decision on Disney 's part to allow more time with the same cast and crew . Writers Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio knew that with an ensemble cast , they were n't free to invent totally different situations and characters , as with the Indiana Jones and James Bond series , and so had to retroactively turn The Curse of the Black Pearl into the first of a trilogy . They wanted to explore the reality of what would happen after Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann 's embrace at the end of the first film , and initially considered the Fountain of Youth as the plot device . They settled on introducing Davy Jones , the Flying Dutchman and the Kraken , a mythology mentioned twice in the first film . They introduced the historical East India Trading Company ( also mentioned in the first film ) , which for them represented a counterpoint to the themes of personal freedom represented by pirates . Filming for the sequels began on February 28 , 2005 , with Dead Man 's Chest finishing on March 1 , 2006 , and At World 's End on January 10 , 2007 . The second film was also the first Disney theatrical feature film with the computer - generated Walt Disney Pictures logo . Fourth film ( edit ) Rossio and Elliot discovered the novel On Stranger Tides during production of Dead Man 's Chest and At World 's End and decided to use it as the basis for a fourth film . As Gore Verbinski was unavailable , Bruckheimer invited Rob Marshall to direct the film . Elliott and Rossio decided to do a stand - alone film , with a story that would support new characters , and incorporate elements from the novel , such as Blackbeard , the Fountain of Youth and mermaids -- the latter two having been already alluded to in the previous films . Depp , Rush , Greg Ellis and Kevin McNally returned to their roles , and the cast saw the additions of Ian McShane as Blackbeard and Penélope Cruz as Angelica , Blackbeard 's daughter and Jack Sparrow 's love interest . A further addition was Richard Griffiths as King George II of Great Britain . After the costly production of two simultaneous films , Disney tried to scale down the fourth installment , giving a lower budget , which led to cheaper locations and fewer scenes with special effects . It was also filmed in 3D , with cameras similar to the ones used in Avatar . Filming for On Stranger Tides began June 14 , 2010 and ended on November 19 , 2010 . It was released in the United States on May 20 , 2011 . With a budget of $378.5 million , On Stranger Tides holds the record for most expensive film ever made . Fifth film ( edit ) On January 14 , 2011 , it was confirmed that Terry Rossio would write the screenplay for the fifth installment , without his co-writer Ted Elliott . On January 11 , 2013 , Jeff Nathanson signed on to write the script for the film . On May 29 , 2013 , it was announced that Norwegian directors Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg were selected to direct . On August 22 , 2013 , the two revealed that the title of the fifth film would be Dead Men Tell No Tales , alluding to the line well - known from the Pirates of the Caribbean theme park attractions . Although , the film was given an alternative title , Salazar 's Revenge , in selected European , South American and Asian countries for marketing purposes . They also confirmed that they were working on the film , speaking highly of Jeff Nathanson 's `` funny and touching '' script and that they are inspired by the first film , The Curse of the Black Pearl . On September 10 , 2013 , Disney pushed back the film 's initial 2015 release , with sources indicating that a Summer 2016 release is likely . Producer Jerry Bruckheimer revealed that script issues were behind the delay , and that Jeff Nathanson was at work on a second attempt based on a well - received outline . While Disney originally announced a release on July 7 , 2017 , Dead Men Tell No Tales was released on May 26 , 2017 . A spokesman for the Australian Arts Minister confirmed that the fifth installment was set to shoot in Australia after the government agreed to repurpose $20 million of tax incentives originally intended for the remake of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea . According to Australian film industry sources , pre-production started in late September 2014 with filming expected to commence in February 2015 . This was officially confirmed by Disney and Ian Walker the Queensland Arts Minister on October 2 , 2014 , stating that filming will take place exclusively in Australia , being the largest production to ever shoot in the country . Village Roadshow Studios and Port Douglas were officially confirmed as filming locations . Production began in Australia on February 17 , 2015 and wrapped on July 9 , 2015 .

It also became the first ever series to have multiple films passing the billion dollar mark in box office revenues with Dead Man 's Chest and On Stranger Tides , since followed by other film franchises . The Curse of the Black Pearl was the third - highest - grossing 2003 film in North America ( behind The Lord of the Rings : The Return of the King and Finding Nemo ) and fourth worldwide ( behind The Return of the King , Finding Nemo and The Matrix Reloaded ) . Dead Man 's Chest was the most successful film of 2006 worldwide , and At World 's End led the worldwide grosses in 2007 , though being only fourth in North America ( behind Spider - Man 3 , Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Shrek the Third ) . On Stranger Tides was the third - highest - grossing film of 2011 worldwide ( behind Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows -- Part 2 and Transformers : Dark of the Moon ) and the fifth in North America . The first three sequels broke box office records upon release , of which the most notable are the opening - weekend record in North America ( Dead Man 's Chest ) , the Memorial - Day weekend record in North America ( At World 's End ) and the opening - weekend record outside North America ( On Stranger Tides ) . Critical and public response ( edit ) Film Rotten Tomatoes Metacritic CinemaScore The Curse of the Black Pearl 79 % ( 210 reviews ) 63 ( 40 reviews ) Dead Man 's Chest 54 % ( 220 reviews ) 53 ( 37 reviews ) A − At World 's End 45 % ( 220 reviews ) 50 ( 36 reviews ) A − On Stranger Tides 32 % ( 262 reviews ) 45 ( 39 reviews ) B+ Dead Men Tell No Tales 30 % ( 230 reviews ) 39 ( 45 reviews ) A − The series is noted for its high quality of acting talent , and is one of the aspects of the films that is always praised . The visual and practical effects are considered some of the best ever done on film , so much so that audiences believed certain CGI elements of the films were real and done practically . However , the plots of the four sequels have received mixed reviews , with the general consensus that they are too bloated and convoluted to follow . Pirates of the Caribbean is noted for reinvigorating the pirate genre of film after decades of either no pirate films or failed pirate films . The success of the series saw Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer try to replicate the franchise 's success by launching films such as Prince of Persia : The Sands of Time and The Lone Ranger , the latter of which directed by Gore Verbinski . Both movies failed critically and commercially .

"The film series started in 2003 with Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, which received positive reviews from critics and grossed US$654 million worldwide.[1] After the first film's success, Walt Disney Pictures revealed that a trilogy was in the works. The franchise's second film, subtitled Dead Man's Chest, was released three years later in 2006; the sequel proved successful, breaking financial records worldwide the day of its premiere. Dead Man's Chest ended up being the number one film of the year upon earning almost $1.1 billion at the worldwide box office. The third film in the series, subtitled At World's End, followed in 2007 earning $960 million, and Disney released a fourth film, subtitled On Stranger Tides, in 2011 in conventional 2D, Digital 3-D and IMAX 3D. On Stranger Tides succeeded in also grossing more than $1 billion,[1] becoming the second film in the franchise and only the eighth film in history to achieve this.\n"

When indefinite leave is granted to persons outside the United Kingdom it is known as indefinite leave to enter ( ILE ) . A person who has indefinite leave to remain , the right of abode or Irish citizenship has settled status if resident in the United Kingdom ( all full British citizens have the right of abode ) . Indefinite leave is not a permanent status . It can lapse where the holder has stayed outside the United Kingdom for a continuous period of more than two years . Settled status is central to British nationality law , as the most usual route to naturalisation or registration as a British citizen requires that the applicant be settled in the UK . Settled status is also important where a child of non-British citizen parents is born in the UK , as unless at least one parent has settled status the child will not automatically be a British citizen . Contents ( hide ) 1 Advantages 1.1 Acquisition of British citizenship 1.2 Children born in the UK 1.3 Public funds 1.4 Home student status 1.5 Right to stand in elections 2 Acquisition of ILR 2.1 No residence 2.2 2 years ' residence 2.3 4 years ' residence 2.4 5 years ' residence 2.5 6 years ' residence 2.6 10 years ' residence 2.7 17 years ' residence 2.8 19 -- 22.5 years ' residence 2.9 30 years ' residence 2.10 Outside the Immigration Rules 3 Costs 4 Citizens of EEA member states 5 Immigration rule changes 5.1 HC 1016 5.2 HC 398 5.3 HC 194 6 See also 7 References 8 External links Advantages ( edit ) Acquisition of British citizenship ( edit ) Main article : British nationality law Holders of ILR may apply for British citizenship if they have held ILR for twelve months or longer , are over 18 and have been living in the United Kingdom for the last five years . There are seven requirements for naturalisation . The applicant : - must be aged 18 or over . must be of sound mind . must intend to continue living in the UK , or to continue in Crown service , the service of an international organisation of which the UK is a member , or the service of a company or association established in the UK . must be able to communicate in English , Welsh or Scottish Gaelic to an acceptable degree . must have sufficient knowledge of life in the UK . must be of good character . must meet the residential requirements . There are several residential requirements . The applicant must : - have been resident in the UK for at least five years ( this is known as the residential qualifying period ) ; and were present in the UK five years before the date of the application ; and not have spent more than 450 days outside the UK during the five - year period ; and not have spent more than 90 days outside the UK in the last 12 months of the five - year period ; and not have been in breach of the Immigration Rules at any stage during the five - year period . See `` Standard Requirements '' , April 2010 . Alternatively , there is a simpler procedure for holders of ILR applying for British citizenship if they are married to a British citizen . The residential requirements for those falling into this category need only hold ILR on the day they apply for British citizenship , but must also : - have been resident in the United Kingdom for at least three years ( this is known as the residential qualifying period ) ; and were present in the United Kingdom three years before the date of the application ; and have not spent more than 270 days outside the United Kingdom during the three - year period ; and have not spent more than 90 days outside the United Kingdom in the last 12 months of the three - year period ; and have not been in breach of the immigration rules at any stage during the three - year period . See `` Spouse or Civil Partner of citizen '' , April 2010 . Other people aged over 18 , who hold another form of British nationality and employees ( and their husband , wife or civil partner ) of the crown , civil service or designated service outside the United Kingdom may instead apply for registration , which is a simpler process than naturalisation . Children born in the UK ( edit ) A child born in the United Kingdom after 1983 to persons who are not British citizens will not automatically be a British citizen . Prior to 1 July 2006 , only a legitimate child ( born to parents who are married to each other ) could automatically derive British citizenship from the father , if the father was a British citizen or `` settled '' in the United Kingdom . However , if the parents are not married when the child is born in the United Kingdom , but then get married , and the marriage legitimates the child , then if the father was a British citizen or `` settled '' in the UK when the child was born , the child would become a British citizen and would be regarded as having been one from the date of marriage . This affects only children where the mother is neither a British citizen nor `` settled '' in the UK . For children born on or after 1 July 2006 , an unmarried father has broadly equivalent rights ( compared with a married father ) to pass on British citizenship to a child . Where a child would be a British citizen but for the fact that the parents are not married , the Home Office will usually register the child as a British citizen under section 3 ( 1 ) of the British Nationality Act provided that the child is still under 18 . If ILR is acquired after the child 's birth , the child will not automatically be a British citizen . However the child can be registered as a British citizen under s1 ( 3 ) of the British Nationality Act 1981 provided application is made before the age of 18 . Alternatively , if the child lives in the UK until age 10 , it will have a lifetime entitlement to registration as a British citizen under s1 ( 4 ) of the Act . Children born in the United Kingdom before 1983 are British citizens regardless of the immigration status of their parents ( unless the father was at the time of the child 's birth a diplomat accredited to the United Kingdom ) . Public funds ( edit ) Unlike people with Limited Leave to Remain ( LTR ) in the UK , ILR holders do have access to public funds . The wording `` No recourse to public funds '' is not written in ILR holders ' visas . As a result , they are able to claim job seekers ' allowances and other benefits which are usually only available to British , EU , and EEA citizens . Home student status ( edit ) Main article : Home student ( United Kingdom ) ILR holders pay home student rates ( i.e. the same rate as British , EU , EEA and Swiss citizens ) for study at higher education institutions in the UK . That is , they are not charged as international students like LTR visa holders -- if they want to study courses in any UK institutions . Right to stand in elections ( edit ) Main article : Elections in the United Kingdom Commonwealth citizens who have ILR and are resident in the UK have the right to vote and stand as candidates in all elections .

Outside the Immigration Rules ( edit ) UK Visas and Immigration has discretion to grant ILR outside the Immigration Rules either where someone qualifies under one of the immigration policy concessions or for reasons that are particularly compelling in circumstance and it is almost certain that there will be no change in circumstances within five years . Costs ( edit ) Prior to 2003 , Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK was free . However , since 2003 , fees have been introduced and have risen each year in April . ILR Fees were introduced at £ 155 in 2003 . Following record immigration in 2004 -- 05 , mainly from Eastern Europe , for the main applicant the fee was raised in 2005 to £ 335 , in 2007 to £ 750 , and in 2009 to £ 820 . In 2009 the Government introduced a £ 70m Migrants Impact Fund . Economic migrants and students coming to the UK from outside the EU are charged a £ 50.00 levy in addition to their normal visa application fee . The fund is used to support the communities in which they live . A fee was also introduced for dependent applicants , at £ 50.00 each . In 2009 Premium Applications with an in - person appointment at a regional office were introduced at a cost to the applicant of £ 1020 . In 2010 / 11 the application fee was raised to £ 840 ( £ 1095 premium ) including the Migrants Impact Levy . The dependents fee was also increased to £ 129.00 each . In August 2010 , the new government scrapped the Migrants Impact Fund . However , the levy is still charged ; the extra income `` will now contribute to the cost of the visa and will mitigate increases that the Government would otherwise have had to make . '' On 6 April 2011 , the application fee was raised to £ 972 ( £ 1,350 premium ) including the Migrants Impact Levy . The dependents fee was also increased to £ 486 ( £ 675 premium ) each . From 6 April 2012 , the application fee was raised to £ 991 ( £ 1,377 premium ) including the Migrants Impact Levy . The dependents fee was also increased to £ 496 ( £ 689 premium ) each . From 6 April 2015 , the application fee was raised to £ 1,500 ( £ 1,900 premium ) . From 6 April 2016 , the application fee was raised to £ 1,875 ( £ 2,375 premium ) per person ( dependants also pay the same fees ) . From 6 April 2017 , the application fee was raised to £ 2,297 ( £ 2,848 premium ) per person ( dependants also pay the same fees ) . Citizens of EEA member states ( edit ) Citizens of countries in the European Economic Area ( other than British and Irish citizens ) and Swiss citizens obtain permanent residence status automatically after five years ' residence in the United Kingdom exercising Treaty rights rather than ILR . The rights of EEA citizens are not governed by UK Immigration Regulations but rather the EEA Regulations . Under the law as it existed between 2 October 2000 and 29 April 2006 , a citizen of an EEA state or Switzerland could be granted permanent residence on application after four years ' residence in the United Kingdom exercising Treaty rights ( five years from 3 April 2006 ) . Prior to 2 October 2000 , citizens of EEA states were deemed to be permanent residents immediately upon taking up residence in the UK to exercise Treaty rights . The change in the law in 2000 was retroactive . Hence , for example , a French citizen who arrived to work in the UK on 1 July 1986 would have been treated as a permanent resident between that date and 1 October 2000 . From 2 October 2000 , the status would revert to that of a temporary resident if an application for ILR was not made . On 30 April 2006 , with five years ' residence exercising Treaty rights accrued , that person regained permanent resident status . Immigration rule changes ( edit ) Hc 1016 ( edit ) With effect from 3 April 2006 , the period of time required to obtain Indefinite Leave to Remain increases to five years . These changes were debated in House of Commons Standing Committee on 20 June 2006 . All Labour MPs voted for preserving the retroactive aspect of the changes , while all other MPs voted that the Government should bring in transitional arrangements to allow those already in the UK before the rule change to qualify under the previous four - year rule . These changes were protested in demonstrations and rallies in London on 16 June and 23 July 2006 . The changes were retroactive in the sense that people on a four - year visas must apply for a one - year extension before they can apply for ILR , but they did not affect people who had already been granted ILR after four years . Hc 398 ( edit ) As from 2 April 2007 , a new condition has been added that `` the applicant has sufficient knowledge of the English language and sufficient knowledge about life in the United Kingdom , unless he is under the age of 18 or aged 65 or over at the time he makes his application . '' There are two ways the applicant can meet this condition : by passing a test called the `` Life in the UK Test '' . The test is taken on a computer at one of the 100 or so Life in the UK Test centres in the UK . It consists of 24 questions based on the information contained in the handbook `` Life in the United Kingdom : A Journey to Citizenship '' ( 2nd Edition ) and requires a language ability the equivalent of ESOL Entry 3 . by attending an English for Speakers of Other Languages ( ESOL ) course which includes citizenship materials , and progressing from one ESOL level to the next . It is stated that on average students require between 200 and 450 hours of tuition for each ESOL level . Hc 194 ( edit ) On 9 July 2012 , the 14 - year rule ( paragraph 276B ( i ) ( b ) ) ( which provided a route to settlement on the grounds of long residence , lawful or unlawful ) was withdrawn . Instead , the new Immigration Rules provided that at least 20 years ' continuous residence , lawful or unlawful , would , subject to criminality and other criteria , normally be necessary to establish a claim to remain in the UK on the basis of the Article 8 right to respect for private life . ( The 10 - year rule ( paragraph 276B ( i ) ( a ) ) , which provides a route to settlement on the grounds of continuous lawful residence in the UK of at least 10 years , was unaffected and remains in place ) . ILR may also be curtailed by the Home Secretary for reasons of national security or if the holder of the ILR commits an offence that could lead to their deportation from the United Kingdom . A person may also lose ILR by leaving the United Kingdom for more than two years . However , in some circumstances , such a person may reapply for indefinite leave to enter the UK . British Overseas citizens , British subjects and British protected persons do not lose ILR no matter how long they stay outside the UK .

Cannons and other armaments from the fort were later transported to Boston and used to fortify Dorchester Heights and break the standoff at the Siege of Boston . After seizing Ticonderoga , a small detachment captured the nearby Fort Crown Point on May 11 . Seven days later , Arnold and 50 men boldly raided Fort Saint - Jean on the Richelieu River in southern Quebec , seizing military supplies , cannons , and the largest military vessel on Lake Champlain . Although the scope of this military action was relatively minor , it had significant strategic importance . It impeded communication between northern and southern units of the British Army , and gave the nascent Continental Army a staging ground for the invasion of Quebec later in 1775 . It also involved two larger - than - life personalities in Allen and Arnold , each of whom sought to gain as much credit and honor as possible for these events . Most significantly , artillery from Ticonderoga would be dragged across Massachusetts to the heights commanding Boston Harbor , forcing the British to withdraw from that city .

After the 1763 Treaty of Paris , in which the French ceded their North American territories to the British , the fort was no longer on the frontier of two great empires , guarding the principal waterway between them . The French had blown up the fort 's powder magazine when they abandoned the fort , and it had fallen further into disrepair since then . In 1775 it was garrisoned by only a small detachment of the 26th Regiment of Foot , consisting of two officers and forty - six men , with many of them `` invalids '' ( soldiers with limited duties because of disability or illness ) . Twenty - five women and children lived there as well . Because of its former significance , Fort Ticonderoga still had a high reputation as the `` gateway to the continent '' or the `` Gibraltar of America '' , but in 1775 it was , according to historian Christopher Ward , `` more like a backwoods village than a fort . '' Even before shooting started in the American Revolutionary War , American Patriots were concerned about Fort Ticonderoga . The fort was a valuable asset for several reasons . Within its walls was a collection of heavy artillery including cannons , howitzers , and mortars , armaments that the Americans had in short supply . The fort was situated on the shores of Lake Champlain , a strategically important route between the Thirteen Colonies and the British - controlled northern provinces . British forces placed there would expose the colonial forces in Boston to attack from the rear . After the war began with the Battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19 , 1775 , the British General Thomas Gage realized the fort would require fortification , and several colonists had the idea of capturing the fort . Gage , writing from the besieged city of Boston following Lexington and Concord , instructed Quebec 's governor , General Guy Carleton , to rehabilitate and refortify the forts at Ticonderoga and Crown Point . Carleton did not receive this letter until May 19 , well after the fort had been captured . Benedict Arnold had frequently traveled through the area around the fort , and was familiar with its condition , manning , and armaments . En route to Boston following news of the events of April 19 , he mentioned the fort and its condition to members of Silas Deane 's militia . The Connecticut Committee of Correspondence acted on this information ; money was `` borrowed '' from the provincial coffers and recruiters were sent into northwestern Connecticut , western Massachusetts , and the New Hampshire Grants ( now Vermont ) to raise volunteers for an attack on the fort . John Brown , an American spy from Pittsfield , Massachusetts who had carried correspondence between revolutionary committees in the Boston area and Patriot supporters in Montreal , was well aware of the fort and its strategic value . Ethan Allen and other Patriots in the disputed New Hampshire Grants territory also recognized the fort 's value , as it played a role in the dispute over that area between New York and New Hampshire . Whether either took or instigated action prior to the Connecticut Colony 's recruitment efforts is unclear . Brown had notified the Massachusetts Committee of Safety in March of his opinion that Ticonderoga `` must be seized as soon as possible should hostilities be committed by the King 's Troops . '' When Arnold arrived outside Boston , he told the Massachusetts Committee of Safety about the cannons and other military equipment at the lightly defended fort . On May 3 , the Committee gave Arnold a colonel 's commission and authorized him to command a `` secret mission '' , which was to capture the fort . He was issued £ 100 , some gunpowder , ammunition , and horses , and instructed to recruit up to 400 men , march on the fort , and ship back to Massachusetts anything he thought useful . Colonial forces assemble ( edit ) Fort Ticonderoga from Mount Defiance Arnold departed immediately after receiving his instructions . He was accompanied by two captains , Eleazer Oswald and Jonathan Brown , who were charged with recruiting the necessary men . Arnold reached the border between Massachusetts and the Grants on May 6 , where he learned of the recruitment efforts of the Connecticut Committee , and that Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys were already on their way north . Riding furiously northward ( his horse was subsequently destroyed ) , he reached Allen 's headquarters in Bennington the next day . Upon arrival , Arnold was told that Allen was in Castleton , 50 miles ( 80 km ) to the north , awaiting supplies and more men . He was also warned that , although Allen 's effort had no official sanction , his men were unlikely to serve under anyone else . Leaving early the next day , Arnold arrived in Castleton in time to join a war council , where he made a case to lead the expedition based on his formal authorization to act from the Massachusetts Committee . The force that Allen had assembled in Castleton included about 100 Green Mountain Boys , about 40 men raised by James Easton and John Brown at Pittsfield , and an additional 20 men from Connecticut . Allen was elected colonel , with Easton and Seth Warner as his lieutenants . When Arnold arrived on the scene , Samuel Herrick had already been sent to Skenesboro and Asa Douglas to Panton with detachments to secure boats . Captain Noah Phelps , a member of the `` Committee of War for the Expedition against Ticonderoga and Crown Point '' , had reconnoitered the fort disguised as a peddler seeking a shave . He saw that the fort walls were dilapidated , learned from the garrison commander that the soldiers ' gunpowder was wet , and that they expected reinforcements at any time . He reported this intelligence to Allen , following which they planned a dawn raid . Many of the Green Mountain Boys objected to Arnold 's wish to command , insisting that they would go home rather than serve under anyone other than Ethan Allen . Arnold and Allen worked out an agreement , but no documented evidence exists concerning the deal . According to Arnold , he was given joint command of the operation . Some historians have supported Arnold 's contention , while others suggest he was merely given the right to march next to Allen . Capture of the fort ( edit ) The flag of the Green Mountain Boys By 11 : 30 pm on May 9 , the men had assembled at Hand 's Cove ( in what is now Shoreham , Vermont ) and were ready to cross the lake to Ticonderoga . However , boats did not arrive until 1 : 30 am , and they were inadequate to carry the whole force . Eighty - three of the Green Mountain Boys made the first crossing with Arnold and Allen , and Douglas went back for the rest . As dawn approached , Allen and Arnold became fearful of losing the element of surprise , so they decided to attack with the men at hand . The only sentry on duty at the south gate fled his post after his musket misfired , and the Americans rushed into the fort . The Patriots then roused the small number of sleeping troops at gunpoint , and began confiscating their weapons . Allen , Arnold , and a few other men charged up the stairs toward the officers ' quarters . Lieutenant Jocelyn Feltham , assistant to Captain William Delaplace , was awakened by the noise , and called to wake the captain . Stalling for time , Feltham demanded to know by what authority the fort was being entered . Allen , who later claimed that he said it to Captain Delaplace , replied , `` In the name of the Great Jehovah and the Continental Congress ! '' Delaplace finally emerged from his chambers ( fully clothed , not with `` his breeches in his hand '' , as Allen would later say ) and surrendered his sword . Nobody was killed in the assault . The only injury was to one American , Gideon Warren , who was slightly injured by a sentry with a bayonet . Eventually , as many as 400 men arrived at the fort , which they plundered for liquor and other provisions . Arnold , whose authority was not recognized by the Green Mountain Boys , was unable to stop the plunder . Frustrated , he retired to the captain 's quarters to await forces that he had recruited , reporting to the Massachusetts Provincial Congress that Allen and his men were `` governing by whim and caprice '' at the fort , and that the plan to strip the fort and send armaments to Boston was in peril . When Delaplace protested the seizure of his private liquor stores , Allen issued him a receipt for the stores , which he later submitted to Connecticut for payment . Arnold 's disputes with Allen and his unruly men were severe enough that there were times when some of Allen 's men drew weapons . On May 12 , Allen sent the prisoners to Connecticut 's Governor Jonathan Trumbull with a note saying `` I make you a present of a Major , a Captain , and two Lieutenants of the regular Establishment of George the Third . '' Arnold busied himself over the next few days with cataloging the military equipment at Ticonderoga and Crown Point , a task made difficult by the fact that walls had collapsed on some of the armaments . Crown Point and the raid on fort Saint - Jean ( edit ) 1777 map showing the Champlain Valley , and all four forts Seth Warner sailed a detachment up the lake and captured nearby Fort Crown Point , garrisoned by only nine men . It is widely recorded that this capture occurred on May 10 ; this is attributed to a letter Arnold wrote to the Massachusetts Committee of Safety on May 11 , claiming that an attempt to sail up to Crown Point was frustrated by headwinds . However Warner claimed , in a letter dated May 12 from `` Head Quarters , Crown Point '' , that he `` took possession of this garrison '' the day before . It appears likely that , having failed on May 10 , the attempt was repeated the next day with success , as reported in Warner 's memoir . A small force was also sent to capture Fort George on Lake George , which was held by only two soldiers . Troops recruited by Arnold 's captains began to arrive , some after seizing Philip Skene 's schooner Katherine and several bateaux at Skenesboro . Arnold rechristened the schooner Liberty . The prisoners had reported that the lone British warship on Lake Champlain was at Fort Saint - Jean , on the Richelieu River north of the lake . Arnold , uncertain whether word of Ticonderoga 's capture had reached Saint - Jean , decided to attempt a raid to capture the ship . He had Liberty outfitted with guns , and sailed north with 50 of his men on May 14 . Allen , not wanting Arnold to get the full glory for that capture , followed with some of his men in bateaux , but Arnold 's small fleet had the advantage of sail , and pulled away from Allen 's boats . By May 17 , Arnold 's small fleet was at the northern end of the lake . Seeking intelligence , Arnold sent a man to reconnoiter the situation at Fort Saint - Jean . The scout returned later that day , reporting that the British were aware of the fall of Ticonderoga and Crown Point , and that troops were apparently on the move toward Saint - Jean . Arnold decided to act immediately . Rowing all night , Arnold and 35 of his men brought their bateaux near the fort . After a brief scouting excursion , they surprised the small garrison at the fort , and seized supplies there , along with the HMS Royal George , a seventy - ton sloop - of - war . Warned by their captives that several companies were on their way from Chambly , they loaded the more valuable supplies and cannons on the George , which Arnold renamed the Enterprise . Boats that they could not take were sunk , and the enlarged fleet returned to Lake Champlain . This activity was observed by Moses Hazen , a retired British officer who lived near the fort . Hazen rode to Montreal to report the action to the local military commander , and then continued on to Quebec City , where he reported the news to General Carleton on May 20 . Major Charles Preston and 140 men were immediately dispatched from Montreal to Saint - Jean in response to Hazen 's warning . Fifteen miles out on the lake , Arnold 's fleet met Allen 's , which was still heading north . After an exchange of celebratory gunfire , Arnold opened his stores to feed Allen 's men , who had rowed 100 miles ( 160 km ) in open boats without provisions . Allen , believing he could seize and hold Fort Saint - Jean , continued north , while Arnold sailed south . Allen arrived at Saint - Jean on May 19 , where he was warned that British troops were approaching by a sympathetic Montreal merchant who had raced ahead of those troops on horseback . Allen , after penning a message for the merchant to deliver to the citizens of Montreal , returned to Ticonderoga on May 21 , leaving Saint - Jean just as the British forces arrived . In their haste to escape the British , three men were left behind ; one was captured , but the other two eventually returned south by land . Aftermath ( edit ) Further information : Invasion of Canada ( 1775 ) , Saratoga campaign , Siege of Fort Ticonderoga ( 1777 ) , and Battle of Saratoga Ethan Allen and his men eventually drifted away from Ticonderoga , especially once the alcohol began to run out , and Arnold largely controlled affairs from a base at Crown Point . He oversaw the fitting of the two large ships , eventually taking command of Enterprise because of a lack of knowledgeable seamen . His men began rebuilding Ticonderoga 's barracks , and worked to extract armaments from the rubble of the two forts and build gun carriages for them . Connecticut sent about 1,000 men under Colonel Benjamin Hinman to hold Ticonderoga , and New York also began to raise militia to defend Crown Point and Ticonderoga against a possible British attack from the north . When Hinman 's troops arrived in June , there was once again a clash over leadership . None of the communications to Arnold from the Massachusetts committee indicated that he was to serve under Hinman ; when Hinman attempted to assert authority over Crown Point , Arnold refused to accept it , as Hinman 's instructions only included Ticonderoga . The Massachusetts committee eventually sent a delegation to Ticonderoga . When they arrived on June 22 they made it clear to Arnold that he was to serve under Hinman . Arnold , after considering for two days , disbanded his command , resigned his commission , and went home , having spent more than £ 1,000 of his own money in the effort to capture the fort . A 1902 photo of the Fort Crown Point ruins When Congress received news of the events , it drafted a second letter to the inhabitants of Quebec , which was sent north in June with James Price , another sympathetic Montreal merchant . This letter , and other communications from the New York Congress , combined with the activities of vocal American supporters , stirred up the Quebec population in the summer of 1775 . When news of the fall of Ticonderoga reached England , Lord Dartmouth wrote that it was `` very unfortunate ; very unfortunate indeed '' . Repercussions in Quebec ( edit ) News of the capture of Ticonderoga and Crown Point , and especially the raids on Fort Saint - Jean , electrified the Quebec population . Colonel Dudley Templer , in charge of the garrison at Montreal , issued a call on May 19 to raise a militia for defense of the city , and requested Indians living nearby to also take up arms . Only 50 men , mostly French - speaking landowning seigneurs and petty nobility , were raised in and around Montreal , and they were sent to Saint - Jean ; no Indians came to their aid . Templer also prevented merchants sympathetic to the American cause from sending supplies south in response to Allen 's letter . General Carleton , notified by Hazen of the events on May 20 , immediately ordered the garrisons of Montreal and Trois - Rivières to fortify Saint - Jean . Some troops garrisoned at Quebec were also sent to Saint - Jean . Most of the remaining Quebec troops were dispatched to a variety of other points along the Saint Lawrence , as far west as Oswegatchie , to guard against potential invasion threats . Carleton then traveled to Montreal to oversee the defense of the province from there , leaving the city of Quebec in the hands of Lieutenant Governor Hector Cramahé . Before leaving , Carleton prevailed on Monsignor Jean - Olivier Briand , the Bishop of Quebec , to issue his own call to arms in support of the provincial defense , which was circulated primarily in the areas around Montreal and Trois - Rivières . Later actions near Ticonderoga ( edit ) `` Knox entering camp with artillery '' In July 1775 , General Philip Schuyler began using the fort as the staging ground for the invasion of Quebec that was launched in late August . In the winter of 1775 -- 1776 , Henry Knox directed the transportation of the guns of Ticonderoga to Boston . The guns were placed upon Dorchester Heights overlooking the besieged city and the British ships in the harbor , prompting the British to evacuate their troops and Loyalist supporters from the city in March 1776 . Benedict Arnold again led a fleet of ships at the Battle of Valcour Island , and played other key roles in thwarting Britain 's attempt to recapture the fort in 1776 . The British did recapture the fort in July 1777 during the Saratoga campaign , but had abandoned it by November after Burgoyne 's surrender at Saratoga . Broken communications ( edit ) Although Fort Ticonderoga was not at the time an important military post , its capture had several important results . Rebel control of the area meant that overland communications and supply lines between British forces in Quebec and those in Boston and later New York were severed , so the British military command made an adjustment to their command structure . This break in communication was highlighted by the fact that Arnold , on his way north to Saint - Jean , intercepted a message from Carleton to Gage , detailing the military troop strengths in Quebec . Command of British forces in North America , previously under a single commander , was divided into two commands . General Carleton was given independent command of forces in Quebec and the northern frontier , while General William Howe was appointed Commander - in - Chief of forces along the Atlantic coast , an arrangement that had worked well between Generals Wolfe and Amherst in the French and Indian War . In this war , however , cooperation between the two forces would prove to be problematic and would play a role in the failure of the Saratoga campaign in 1777 , as General Howe apparently abandoned an agreed - upon northern strategy , leaving General John Burgoyne without southern support in that campaign . War of words between Allen and Arnold ( edit ) An engraving of Benedict Arnold after John Trumbull by H.B. Hall , published 1879 Beginning on the day of the fort 's capture , Allen and Arnold began a war of words , each attempting to garner for himself as much credit for the operation as possible . Arnold , unable to exert any authority over Allen and his men , began to keep a diary of events and actions , which was highly critical and dismissive of Allen . Allen , in the days immediately after the action , also began to work on a memoir . Published several years later ( see Further reading ) , the memoir fails to mention Arnold at all . Allen also wrote several versions of the events , which John Brown and James Easton brought to a variety of Congresses and committees in New York , Connecticut , and Massachusetts . Randall ( 1990 ) claims that Easton took accounts written by both Arnold and Allen to the Massachusetts committee , but conveniently lost Arnold 's account on the way , ensuring that Allen 's version , which greatly glorified his role in the affair , would be preferred . Smith ( 1907 ) indicates that it was highly likely that Easton was interested in claiming Arnold 's command for himself . There was clearly no love lost between Easton and Arnold . Allen and Easton returned to Crown Point on June 10 and called a council of war while Arnold was with the fleet on the lake , a clear breach of military protocol . When Arnold , whose men now dominated the garrison , asserted his authority , Easton insulted Arnold , who responded by challenging Easton to a duel . Arnold later reported , `` On refusing to draw like a gentleman , he having a ( sword ) by his side and cases of loaded pistols in his pockets , I kicked him very heartily and ordered him from the Point .

The series is an American adaptation of the British comedy series of the same name , and is presented in a mockumentary format , portraying the daily lives of office employees in the Scranton , Pennsylvania branch of the fictitious Dunder Mifflin Paper Company . The eighth season of The Office aired on Thursdays at 9 : 00 p.m. ( Eastern ) in the United States as part of the `` Comedy Night Done Right '' television block . This was the first season without Steve Carell as Michael Scott in the lead role and the only one to not feature the character in any capacity . The eighth season largely centers on Andy Bernard 's ( Ed Helms ) ascension to regional manager , as well as the antics of Robert California ( James Spader ) , the new CEO of Sabre , a fictional printer company that owns Dunder Mifflin . Halfway through the season , Dwight Schrute ( Rainn Wilson ) -- along with Jim Halpert ( John Krasinski ) , Stanley Hudson ( Leslie David Baker ) , Ryan Howard ( B.J. Novak ) , Erin Hannon ( Ellie Kemper ) , and Cathy Simms ( Lindsey Broad ) -- travel to Florida to help set up a Sabre Store , where Nellie Bertram ( Catherine Tate ) is introduced . Eventually , former CFO of Dunder Mifflin David Wallace ( Andy Buckley ) buys back the company , firing California . Despite debuting with moderate viewing figures , the departure of Carell affected the show 's ratings , which fell as the season progressed . The season ranked as the eighty - seventh most watched television series during the 2011 -- 12 television year and saw a dramatic decrease in ratings from the previous season . Critical reception was polarized . Many critics argued that the series should have ended after the departure of Carell ; many also felt that the season recycled storylines from past episodes . Other critics were more positive , complimenting various actors and their characters . It marked the first time since season one that the show did not receive any Emmy nominations .

The show is based on the British comedy series of the same name , which was created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant for the British Broadcasting Corporation ( BBC ) . In addition , the two are executive producers on the show . This season of The Office was produced by Greg Daniels and Paul Lieberstein , the latter of whom serves as the showrunner . Returning writers from the previous season included Lieberstein , Charlie Grandy , Justin Spitzer , Carrie Kemper , Daniel Chun , Robert Padnick , Aaron Shure , Steve Hely , Amelie Gillette , Mindy Kaling , and B.J. Novak ; the latter two were both also credited as executive producers . It was previously unknown whether Kaling would write for the series any longer . Kaling herself confirmed via her Twitter page that she would write the Christmas - themed episode , `` Christmas Wishes '' . Three new writers joined the staff beginning in season eight : Owen Ellickson , Allison Silverman and Dan Greaney . The season also saw the directorial debuts of cast members Ed Helms and Brian Baumgartner ; Helms directed the episode `` Christmas Wishes '' , and Baumgartner directed `` After Hours '' . The series was renewed for an eighth season on March 17 , 2011 , began filming on July 25 , 2011 , and the season concluded filming on March 9 , 2012 . Jenna Fischer 's pregnancy was written into the show , and Pam was again pregnant at the start of the season with a boy as she was in real life . Unlike the sixth season , there was no episode focusing on the baby 's birth ; it was instead announced on a blog . In an interview , executive producer Lieberstein stated that , with the departure of Michael Scott , the writers would explore further into the other characters on the show , such as centering on a specific character for an episode . On January 25 , 2012 , news broke that NBC was planning a spin - off series starring Rainn Wilson as Dwight Schrute , that would be set at Schrute Farms , Dwight 's bed - and - breakfast and beet farm . The spin - off would be created by Wilson and executive producer Paul Lieberstein , but Office developer Greg Daniels would not be involved . Due to his initial involvement in the spin - off , Lieberstein stepped down as showrunner of The Office . On October 29 , 2012 , it was revealed that NBC was not going forward with the proposed spin - off , although the original backdoor pilot , `` The Farm '' aired later in the ninth season . Cast ( edit ) See also : List of The Office ( U.S. TV series ) cast members The Office employs an ensemble cast . Most of the main characters , and some supporting ones , are based on characters from the British version of The Office . While these characters normally have the same attitudes and perceptions as their British counterparts , the roles have been redesigned to better fit the American show . The show is known for its large cast size , many of whom are known particularly for their improvisational work . Rainn Wilson portrays Dwight Schrute , who , based upon Gareth Keenan , is the Assistant to the Regional Manager , although the character frequently fails to include `` to the '' in his title . John Krasinski portrays Jim Halpert , a sales representative and prankster , who is based upon Tim Canterbury , and is married to Pam Halpert , the office administrator . Pam ( Fischer ) , who is based on Dawn Tinsley , is shy , but is often a cohort with Jim in his pranks on Dwight . B.J. Novak portrays Ryan Howard , who is a temporary worker . Helms plays Andy Bernard , the preppy manager -- who was previously a salesman -- and boastful Cornell alumnus whose love for a cappella music and awkward social skills generates mixed feelings from his employees . Andy is an original character , meaning he has no English equivalent from Gervais 's series . Reprising his guest - starring role of Robert California , James Spader joined the regular cast to replace Kathy Bates 's character as the CEO of Sabre . Cody Horn , who guest starred in the seventh season as Jordan Garfield , was originally supposed to be featured as a recurring character this season , but she did not return . The eighth season introduced several new characters . Stephen Collins , Dee Wallace and Josh Groban were cast as Andy 's father , mother and brother , respectively , and appeared in the episode `` Garden Party '' . From the episodes `` Pam 's Replacement '' to `` Last Day in Florida '' , Lindsey Broad had a recurring guest star spot as Cathy Simms , Pam 's temporary replacement while she was on maternity leave , and who remained employed at the company for a while after . Maura Tierney appeared in `` Mrs. California '' , playing California 's wife . Catherine Tate returned to reprise her role as Nellie Bertram , in a major arc starting in the episode `` Tallahassee '' . Despite reports that she would also get romantically involved with Robert , this never occurred . Two writers for the animated comedy series The Simpsons , Matt Selman and Matt Warburton , appeared in the Kaling - scripted episode `` Test the Store '' , and Simpsons star Dan Castellaneta appeared in the episode `` Turf War '' . While , it was initially announced that the season would introduce Stanley Hudson 's `` other daughter and a new male addition to the accounting department '' , these new characters never appeared . At the time , this season marked the final year that some cast members -- notably Helms , Fischer , Novak , and Krasinski -- were signed on for the show , as their contracts expired at the end of the season ; this caused speculation that several members of the main cast would leave the series following this season . The eighth season was Novak 's last as a series regular , although he made a few recurring appearances in the ninth season . It was also Kaling 's final full season , due to her pilot , The Mindy Project , being picked up by Fox ; Kaling portrayed customer service representative Kelly Kapoor . On February 28 , 2012 , it was announced that Spader would not return for a ninth season of the show . There was initial speculation that following the eighth season , Daniels was considering rebooting the series due to the possible departures of main cast members . However , a new deal was negotiated with NBC , and all the main cast members , sans Spader , Novak , and Kaling , would return for the ninth season , although several new characters would be brought on board for a `` mini reboot '' . NBC also announced that Catherine Tate would become a series regular . Reception ( edit ) Ratings ( edit ) Ratings for the eighth season of The Office . The series aired on Thursdays at 9 : 00 p.m. as part of `` Comedy Night Done Right '' television block . The season premiere , `` The List '' received a 3.9 / 10 percent share in the Nielsen ratings among viewers aged 18 to 49 , meaning that 3.9 percent of viewers aged 18 to 49 watched the episode , and 10 percent of viewers watching television at the time watched the episode . `` The List '' was the highest rated episode of the season . Despite this , it became the lowest season premiere of the series since the series premiere . The rest of the season was unable to receive more than seven million viewers . The twenty - second episode , `` Fundraiser '' received only 4.17 million viewers , making it , at the time , the lowest - rated episode of The Office to ever air ( although it was later beaten by several ninth - season episodes the following year ) . The season finale , `` Free Family Portrait Studio '' , was viewed by 4.49 million viewers , making it the lowest finale for The Office to air , beating the first - season finale `` Hot Girl '' , which was viewed by 4.8 million viewers . The drop in ratings led to a lower ad - price for the series , with an average cost of $178,840 per - 30 second commercial . Despite this , the show was still one of NBC 's highest rated shows and ranked as the most expensive ad - cost for any NBC scripted series during the year it aired . Despite the lower live ratings , Nielsen Soundscan announced that The Office added up to 44 percent to its next - day `` live plus same day '' 18 -- 49 rating when additional time - shifted viewing was added , such as DVRing . The season ranked as the eighty - seventh most - watched television series during the 2011 -- 12 season , with an average of 6.506 million viewers . The season also ranked as the thirty - second most - watched television series in the 18 - to 49 - year - old demographic . In this category , the show was viewed by an estimated 4.376 million viewers per episode and received a 3.42 rating / 9 percent share among adults between the ages of 18 and 49 . This means that , on average , the season was viewed by 3.42 percent of all 18 - to 49 - year - olds , and 9 percent of all 18 - to 49 - year - olds watching television at the time of the broadcast . Critical response ( edit ) Ed Helms received mixed reviews for his portrayal of Andy Bernard . The eighth season of The Office received mixed reviews . While some critics felt that the show was still humorous in its eighth year , many others argued that the program should have ended after the departure of Steve Carell . The A.V. Club reviewer Myles McNutt criticized Robert California 's role , noting that he is a character that `` the narrative reacts to as opposed to something actually involved in the narrative '' . Alan Sepinwall of HitFix criticized Ed Helms ' comedic performance as manager ( calling him `` a softer version of Michael Scott '' ) , as well as the toning down of Robert California from his appearance in the show 's seventh season 's finale , `` Search Committee '' . Sepinwall also expressed disappointment that many of the supporting characters were seemingly transformed into mere caricatures of their former selves . He stopped reviewing a majority of the Season 8 episodes since `` Pam 's Replacement '' , due to his distaste for the series . Time writer James Poniewozik also criticized the choice of Andy as manager , instead arguing that Jim should have gotten the job so the series could have been more ensemble - oriented . New York named Andy Bernard one of the most annoying TV characters of 2011 . Matt Zoller Seitz from New York wrote , `` Fact is , the show 's first post -- Steve Carell year has been a mess , at times bordering on a disaster '' , although he did write , `` Nevertheless , I still adore these characters , even when the writing does n't do them justice . '' McNutt gave the season a `` C '' grade overall , writing that the season finale , `` Free Family Portrait Studio '' was `` a disheartening conclusion to the show 's worst season , offering little optimism to sustain our already dwindling enthusiasm over the summer months . '' Bret Fetzer of Amazon.com wrote that `` it 's best to approach this season as if it were a completely new series '' . He felt that it is unfair to compare the quality of this season to that of past seasons because `` the series ' previous heights were so very high '' . However , he called the year `` uneven '' , because episodes would range from putting `` Andy into Michael Scott - ish situations '' to `` seek ( ing ) out new angles on the well - established web of interpersonal conflicts '' . This vacillation between extremes meant that the episodes `` sometimes '' work . Matt Zoller Seitz of Salon considered the post-Michael Scott era of The Office `` warmer and more reflective '' . He also praised the decision of Andy as a manager , and he highlighted Ed Helms and Craig Robinson 's performances in `` Lotto '' , arguing that they represented the `` subtlest , deepest acting to date ( on The Office ) '' . He also selected `` Lotto '' as the best episode of the season . Hank Stuever of The Washington Post named the series the tenth best series of 2011 , specifically praising the actors ' ability in `` Mrs. California '' to deliver cringe humor without Carell . TV Guide named it an honorable mention on their list of the best TV shows of 2011 . Price Peterson from TV.com called the series `` still one of the best shows on TV '' and argued that , while `` Season 8 definitely was n't the show 's best '' , the season `` sneaked in some genuinely great jokes , new characters , and affecting plotlines . '' Despite the lackluster reviews many of the episodes received , many critics praised Ellie Kemper 's performance as Erin Hannon . McNutt noted that `` regardless of how down I was on this or any other episode , Ellie Kemper really has been tremendous all season . '' In addition , Kemper 's performance in the episodes `` Spooked , '' `` Christmas Wishes , '' `` Pool Party , '' and `` Special Project , '' in particular , were praised by critics . In retrospect , many members of the cast and crew felt that the season was not the show 's best . Rainn Wilson said that the season made some mistakes `` creatively '' ; for instance , he argued that the chemistry between Spader and Helms was `` a bit dark '' and that the show should have gone for a `` brighter and more energized '' relationship . Brian Baumgartner felt that the show `` stayed status quo ( with the previous year ) , but without a key piece '' and `` did n't make a firm decision '' on the direction it was headed . Ben Silverman , one of the show 's producers , said that `` it did n't have the sense of purpose and focus '' that the next season would have .

Voting Rights History Drafting and ratification timeline Convention Signing Federalism Republicanism Full text of the Constitution and Amendments Preamble and Articles I -- VII Amendments I -- X Amendments XI -- XXVII Unratified Amendments United States portal U.S. Government portal Law portal Wikipedia book The Fifth Amendment ( Amendment V ) to the United States Constitution is part of the Bill of Rights and protects individuals from being compelled to be witnesses against themselves in criminal cases . `` Pleading the Fifth '' is a colloquial term for invoking the right that allows witnesses to decline to answer questions where the answers might incriminate them , and generally without having to suffer a penalty for asserting the right . This evidentiary privilege ensures that defendants can not be compelled to become witnesses at their own trials . If , however , they choose to testify , they are not entitled to the right during cross-examination , where questions are relevant to their testimony on direct examination . The Amendment requires that felonies be tried only upon indictment by a grand jury . Federal grand juries can force people to take the witness stand , but defendants in those proceedings have Fifth Amendment privileges until they choose to answer any question . To claim the privilege for failure to answer when being interviewed by police , the interviewee must have explicitly invoked the constitutional right when declining to answer questions . The Amendment 's Double Jeopardy Clause provides the right to be tried only once in federal court for the same offense . The Amendment also has a Due Process Clause ( similar to the one in the 14th Amendment ) as well as an implied equal protection requirement ( Bolling v. Sharpe ) . Finally , the Amendment requires that the power of eminent domain be coupled with `` just compensation '' for those whose property is taken .

The hand - written copy of the proposed Bill of Rights , 1789 , cropped to just show the text that would later be ratified as the Fifth Amendment Background before adoption ( edit ) Painting of James Madison by Charles Wilson Peale , done in 1792 . On June 8 , 1789 , Congressman James Madison introduced several proposed constitutional amendments during a speech to the House of Representatives . His draft language that later became the Fifth Amendment was as follows : No person shall be subject , except in cases of impeachment , to more than one punishment or trial for the same offense ; nor shall be compelled to be a witness against himself ; nor be deprived of life , liberty , or property , without due process of law ; nor be obliged to relinquish his property , where it may be necessary for public use , without just compensation ... ( E ) xcept in cases of impeachments , and cases arising in the land or naval forces , or the militia when on actual service , in time of war or public danger ... in all crimes punishable with loss of life or member , presentment or indictment by a grand jury shall be an essential preliminary ... This draft was edited by Congress ; all the material before the first ellipsis was placed at the end , and some of the wording was modified . After approval by Congress , the amendment was ratified by the states on December 15 , 1791 as part of the Bill of Rights . Every one of the five clauses in the final amendment appeared in Madison 's draft , and in their final order those clauses are the Grand Jury Clause ( which Madison had placed last ) , the Double Jeopardy Clause , the Self Incrimination Clause , the Due Process Clause , and then the Takings Clause . Grand jury ( edit ) Further information : Grand juries in the United States The grand jury is a pre-constitutional common law institution , and a constitutional fixture in its own right exclusively embracing common law . The process applies to the states to the extent that the states have incorporated grand juries and / or common law . Most states have an alternative civil process . `` Although state systems of criminal procedure differ greatly among themselves , the grand jury is similarly guaranteed by many state constitutions and plays an important role in fair and effective law enforcement in the overwhelming ( p688 ) majority of the States . '' Branzburg v. Hayes ( No. 70 - 85 ) 1972 . Grand juries , which return indictments in many criminal cases , are composed of a jury of peers and operate in closed deliberation proceedings ; they are given specific instructions regarding the law by the judge . Many constitutional restrictions that apply in court or in other situations do not apply during grand jury proceedings . For example , the exclusionary rule does not apply to certain evidence presented to a grand jury ; the exclusionary rule states that evidence obtained in violation of the Fourth , Fifth or Sixth amendments can not be introduced in court . Also , an individual does not have the right to have an attorney present in the grand jury room during hearings . An individual would have such a right during questioning by the police while in custody , but an individual testifying before a grand jury is free to leave the grand jury room to consult with his attorney outside the room before returning to answer a question . The Bill of Rights in the National Archives . Currently , federal law permits the trial of misdemeanors without indictments . Additionally , in trials of non-capital felonies , the prosecution may proceed without indictments if the defendants waive their Fifth Amendment right . Grand jury indictments may be amended by the prosecution only in limited circumstances . In Ex Parte Bain , 121 U.S. 1 ( 1887 ) , the Supreme Court held that the indictment could not be changed at all by the prosecution . United States v. Miller , 471 U.S. 130 ( 1985 ) partly reversed Ex parte Bain ; now , an indictment 's scope may be narrowed by the prosecution . Thus , lesser included charges may be dropped , but new charges may not be added . The Grand Jury Clause of the Fifth Amendment does not protect those serving in the armed forces , whether during wartime or peacetime . Members of the state militia called up to serve with federal forces are not protected under the clause either . In O'Callahan v. Parker , 395 U.S. 258 ( 1969 ) , the Supreme Court held that only charges relating to service may be brought against members of the militia without indictments . That decision was overturned in 1987 , when the Court held that members of the militia in actual service may be tried for any offense without indictments . The grand jury indictment clause of the Fifth Amendment has not been incorporated under the Fourteenth Amendment . This means that the grand jury requirement applies only to felony charges in the federal court system . While many states do employ grand juries , no defendant has a Fifth Amendment right to a grand jury for criminal charges in state court . States are free to abolish grand juries , and many ( though not all ) have replaced them with preliminary hearing . Infamous crime ( edit ) Whether a crime is `` infamous '' , for purposes of the Grand Jury Clause , is determined by the nature of the punishment that may be imposed , not the punishment that is actually imposed ; however , crimes punishable by death must be tried upon indictments . The historical origin of `` infamous crime '' comes from the infamia , a punishment under Roman law by which a citizen was deprived his citizenship . In United States v. Moreland , 258 U.S. 433 ( 1922 ) , the Supreme Court held that incarceration in a prison or penitentiary , as opposed to a correction or reformation house , attaches infamy to a crime . In Mackin v. United States , 117 U.S. 348 ( 1886 ) , the Supreme Court judged that `` ' Infamous crimes ' are thus , in the most explicit words , defined to be those ' punishable by imprisonment in the penitentiary . ' '' , while it later in Green v. United States 356 U.S. 165 ( 1957 ) , stated that `` imprisonment in a penitentiary can be imposed only if a crime is subject to imprisonment exceeding one year '' . Therefore , an infamous crime is one that is punished by imprisonment for over one year . Susan Brown , a former defense attorney and Professor of Law at the University of Dayton School of Law , concluded : `` Since this is essentially the definition of a felony , infamous crimes translate as felonies . '' Double jeopardy ( edit ) Main article : Double Jeopardy Clause ... nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb ... The Double Jeopardy Clause encompasses four distinct prohibitions : subsequent prosecution after acquittal , subsequent prosecution after conviction , subsequent prosecution after certain mistrials , and multiple punishment in the same indictment . Jeopardy applies when the jury is empaneled in a jury trial , when the first witness is sworn in during a bench trial , or when a plea is rendered . Prosecution after acquittal ( edit ) The government is not permitted to appeal or try again after the entry of an acquittal , whether a directed verdict before the case is submitted to the jury , a directed verdict after a deadlocked jury , an appellate reversal for sufficiency ( except by direct appeal to a higher appellate court ) , or an `` implied acquittal '' via conviction of a lesser included offense . In addition , the government is barred by collateral estoppel from re-litigating against the same defense , a fact necessarily found by the jury in a prior acquittal , even if the jury hung on other counts . This principle does not prevent the government from appealing a pre-trial motion to dismiss or other non-merits dismissal , or a directed verdict after a jury conviction , nor does it prevent the trial judge from entertaining a motion for reconsideration of a directed verdict , if the jurisdiction has so provided by rule or statute . Nor does it prevent the government from retrying the defendant after an appellate reversal other than for sufficiency , including habeas , or `` thirteenth juror '' appellate reversals notwithstanding sufficiency on the principle that jeopardy has not `` terminated . '' There is also an exception for judicial bribery in a bench trial . Multiple punishment , including prosecution after conviction ( edit ) In Blockburger v. United States ( 1932 ) , the Supreme Court announced the following test : the government may separately try and punish the defendant for two crimes if each crime contains an element that the other does not . Blockburger is the default rule , unless the legislature intends to depart ; for example , Continuing Criminal Enterprise ( CCE ) may be punished separately from its predicates , as can conspiracy . The Blockburger test , originally developed in the multiple punishments context , is also the test for prosecution after conviction . In Grady v. Corbin ( 1990 ) , the Court held that a double jeopardy violation could lie even where the Blockburger test was not satisfied , but Grady was overruled in United States v. Dixon ( 1993 ) . Prosecution after mistrial ( edit ) The rule for mistrials depends upon who sought the mistrial . If the defendant moves for a mistrial , there is no bar to retrial , unless the prosecutor acted in `` bad faith '' , i.e. , goaded the defendant into moving for a mistrial because the government specifically wanted a mistrial . If the prosecutor moves for a mistrial , there is no bar to retrial if the trial judge finds `` manifest necessity '' for granting the mistrial . The same standard governs mistrials granted sua sponte . Prosecution in different States ( edit ) In Heath v. Alabama ( 1985 ) , the Supreme Court held , that the Fifth Amendment rule against double jeopardy does not prohibit two different states from separately prosecuting and convicting the same individual for the same illegal act . Self - incrimination ( edit ) `` Plead the Fifth '' redirects here . For the album by the band Taproot , see Plead the Fifth ( album ) . The Fifth Amendment protects individuals from being forced to incriminate themselves . Incriminating oneself is defined as exposing oneself ( or another person ) to `` an accusation or charge of crime , '' or as involving oneself ( or another person ) `` in a criminal prosecution or the danger thereof . '' The privilege against compelled self - incrimination is defined as `` the constitutional right of a person to refuse to answer questions or otherwise give testimony against himself ... '' To `` plead the Fifth '' is to refuse to answer any question because `` the implications of the question , in the setting in which it is asked '' lead a claimant to possess a `` reasonable cause to apprehend danger from a direct answer '' , believing that `` a responsive answer to the question or an explanation of why it can not be answered might be dangerous because injurious disclosure could result . '' Historically , the legal protection against compelled self - incrimination was directly related to the question of torture for extracting information and confessions . The legal shift away from widespread use of torture and forced confession dates to turmoil of the late 16th and early 17th century in England . Anyone refusing to take the oath ex officio mero ( confessions or swearing of innocence , usually before hearing any charges ) was considered guilty . Suspected Puritans were pressed to take the oath and then reveal names of other Puritans . Coercion and torture were commonly used to compel `` cooperation . '' Puritans , who were at the time fleeing to the New World , began a practice of refusing to cooperate with interrogations . In the most famous case John Lilburne refused to take the oath in 1637 . His case and his call for `` freeborn rights '' were rallying points for reforms against forced oaths , forced self - incrimination , and other kinds of coercion . Oliver Cromwell 's revolution overturned the practice and incorporated protections , in response to a popular group of English citizens known as the Levellers . The Levellers presented The Humble Petition of Many Thousands to Parliament in 1647 with 13 demands , third of which was the right against self - incrimination in criminal cases . These protections were brought to America by Puritans , and were later incorporated into the United States Constitution through the Bill of Rights . Protection against compelled self - incrimination is implicit in the Miranda rights statement , which protects the `` right to remain silent . '' This amendment is also similar to Section 13 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms . In other Commonwealth of Nations countries like Australia and New Zealand , the right to silence of the accused both during questioning and at trial is regarded as an important right inherited from common law , and is protected in the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act and in Australia through various federal and state acts and codes governing the criminal justice system . In South African law the right to silence originating from English common law has been entrenched in Section 35 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa , 1996 . The Supreme Court has held that `` a witness may have a reasonable fear of prosecution and yet be innocent of any wrongdoing . The privilege serves to protect the innocent who otherwise might be ensnared by ambiguous circumstances . '' However , Professor James Duane of the Regent University School of Law argues that the Supreme Court , in a 5 - 4 decision in Salinas v. Texas , significantly weakened the privilege , saying `` our choice to use the Fifth Amendment privilege can be used against you at trial depending exactly how and where you do it . '' In the Salinas case , justices Alito , Roberts , and Kennedy held that `` the Fifth Amendment 's privilege against self - incrimination does not extend to defendants who simply decide to remain mute during questioning . Long - standing judicial precedent has held that any witness who desires protection against self - incrimination must explicitly claim that protection . '' Justice Thomas , siding with Alito , Roberts and Kennedy , in a separate opinion , held that , `` Salinas ' Fifth Amendment privilege would not have been applicable even if invoked because the prosecutor 's testimony regarding his silence did not compel Salinas to give self - incriminating testimony . '' Justice Antonin Scalia joined Thomas ' opinion . '' Legal proceedings and congressional hearings ( edit ) The Fifth Amendment privilege against compulsory self - incrimination applies when an individual is called to testify in a legal proceeding . The Supreme Court ruled that the privilege applies whether the witness is in a federal court or , under the incorporation doctrine of the Fourteenth Amendment , in a state court , and whether the proceeding itself is criminal or civil . The right to remain silent was asserted at grand jury or congressional hearings in the 1950s , when witnesses testifying before the House Committee on Un-American Activities or the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee claimed the right in response to questions concerning their alleged membership in the Communist Party . Under the Red Scare hysteria at the time of McCarthyism , witnesses who refused to answer the questions were accused as `` fifth amendment communists '' . They lost jobs or positions in unions and other political organizations , and suffered other repercussions after `` taking the Fifth . '' Senator Joseph McCarthy ( R - Wisc . ) asked , `` Are you now , or have you ever been a member of the Communist party , '' while he was chairman of the Senate Government Operations Committee Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations . Admitting to a previous communist party membership was not sufficient . Witnesses were also required to `` name names , '' to implicate others they knew to be communists or who had been communists in the past . Academy Award winning director Elia Kazan testified before the House Committee on Un-American Activities that he had belonged to the Communist Party briefly in his youth . He also `` named names , '' which incurred enmity of many in Hollywood . Other entertainers such as Zero Mostel found themselves on a Hollywood blacklist after taking the Fifth , and were unable to find work for a while in the show business . Pleading the Fifth in response to such questions was held inapplicable , since being a Communist itself was not a crime . The amendment has also been used by defendants and witnesses in criminal cases involving the American Mafia . Statements made to non-governmental entities ( edit ) The privilege against self - incrimination does not protect an individual from being suspended from membership in a non-governmental , self - regulatory organization ( SRO ) , such as the New York Stock Exchange ( NYSE ) , where the individual refuses to answer questions posed by the SRO . An SRO itself is not a court of law , and can not send a person to jail . SROs , such as the NYSE and the National Association of Securities Dealers ( NASD ) , are generally not considered to be state actors . See United States v. Solomon , D.L. Cromwell Invs. , Inc. v. NASD Regulation , Inc. , and Marchiano v. NASD . SROs also lack subpoena powers . They rely heavily on requiring testimony from individuals by wielding the threat of loss of membership or a bar from the industry ( permanent , if decided by the NASD ) when the individual asserts his Fifth Amendment privilege against compelled self - incrimination . If a person chooses to provide statements in testimony to the SRO , the SRO may provide information about those statements to law enforcement agencies , who may then use the statements in a prosecution of the individual . Custodial interrogation ( edit ) The Fifth Amendment limits the use of evidence obtained illegally by law enforcement officers . Originally , at common law , even a confession obtained by torture was admissible . However , by the eighteenth century , common law in England provided that coerced confessions were inadmissible . The common law rule was incorporated into American law by the courts . The Supreme Court has repeatedly overruled convictions based on such confessions , in cases such as Brown v. Mississippi , 297 U.S. 278 ( 1936 ) . Law enforcement responded by switching to more subtle techniques , but the courts held that such techniques , even if they do not involve physical torture , may render a confession involuntary and inadmissible . In Chambers v. Florida ( 1940 ) the Court held a confession obtained after five days of prolonged questioning , during which time the defendant was held incommunicado , to be coerced . In Ashcraft v. Tennessee ( 1944 ) , the suspect had been interrogated continuously for thirty - six hours under electric lights . In Haynes v. Washington , the Court held that an `` unfair and inherently coercive context '' including a prolonged interrogation rendered a confession inadmissible . Miranda v. Arizona ( 1966 ) was a landmark case involving confessions . Ernesto Miranda had signed a statement confessing to the crime , but the Supreme Court held that the confession was inadmissible because the defendant had not been advised of his rights . The Court held `` the prosecution may not use statements ... stemming from custodial interrogation of the defendant unless it demonstrates the use of procedural safeguards effective to secure the privilege against self - incrimination . Custodial interrogation is initiated by law enforcement after a person has been taken into custody or otherwise deprived of his freedom of movement before being questioned as to the specifics of the crime . As for the procedural safeguards to be employed , unless other fully effective means are devised to inform accused persons of their right of silence and to assure a continuous opportunity to exercise it , the following measures are required . Before any questioning , the person must be warned that he has a right to remain silent , that any statement he does make may be used as evidence against him , and that he has a right to the presence of an attorney , either retained or appointed . '' The warning to which Chief Justice Earl Warren referred is now called the Miranda warning , and it is customarily delivered by the police to an individual before questioning . Miranda has been clarified by several further Supreme Court rulings . For the warning to be necessary , the questioning must be conducted under `` custodial '' circumstances . A person detained in jail or under arrest is , of course , deemed to be in police custody . Alternatively , a person who is under the reasonable belief that he may not freely leave from the restraint of law enforcement is also deemed to be in `` custody . '' That determination of `` reasonableness '' is based on a totality of the objective circumstances . A mere presence at a police station may not be sufficient , but neither is such a presence required . Traffic stops are not deemed custodial . The Court has ruled that age can be an objective factor . In Yarborough v. Alvarado ( 2004 ) , the Court held that `` a state - court decision that failed to mention a 17 - year - old 's age as part of the Miranda custody analysis was not objectively unreasonable '' . In her concurring opinion Justice O'Connor wrote that a suspect 's age may indeed `` be relevant to the ' custody ' inquiry '' ; the Court did not find it relevant in the specific case of Alvarado . The Court affirmed that age could be a relevant and objective factor in J.D.B. v. North Carolina where they ruled that `` so long as the child 's age was known to the officer at the time of police questioning , or would have been objectively apparent to a reasonable officer , its inclusion in the custody analysis is consistent with the objective nature of that test '' . The questioning does not have to be explicit to trigger Miranda rights . For example , two police officers engaging in a conversation designed to elicit an incriminating statement from a suspect would constitute questioning . A person may choose to waive his Miranda rights , but the prosecution has the burden of showing that such a waiver was actually made . A confession not preceded by a Miranda warning where one was necessary can not be admitted as evidence against the confessing party in a judicial proceeding . The Supreme Court , however , has held that if a defendant voluntarily testifies at the trial that he did not commit the crime , his confession may be introduced to challenge his credibility , to `` impeach '' the witness , even if it had been obtained without the warning . In Hiibel v. Sixth Judicial District Court of Nevada ( 2004 ) , the Supreme Court ruled 5 -- 4 that being required to identify oneself to police under states ' stop and identify statutes is not an unreasonable search or seizure , and is not necessarily self - incrimination . Explicit invocation ( edit ) In June 2010 , the Supreme Court ruled in Berghuis v. Thompkins that a criminal suspect must now invoke the right to remain silent unambiguously . Unless and until the suspect actually states that he is relying on that right , police may continue to interact with ( or question ) him , and any voluntary statement he makes can be used in court . The mere act of remaining silent is , on its own , insufficient to imply the suspect has invoked those rights . Furthermore , a voluntary reply , even after lengthy silence , can be construed as implying a waiver . The new rule will defer to police in cases where the suspect fails to assert the right to remain silent . This standard was extended in Salinas v. Texas in 2013 to cases where individuals not in custody who volunteer to answer officers ' questions and who are not told their Miranda rights . The Court stated that there was no `` ritualistic formula '' necessary to assert this privilege , but that a person could not do so `` by simply standing mute . '' Production of documents ( edit ) Under the Act of Production Doctrine , the act of an individual in producing documents or materials ( e.g. , in response to a subpoena ) may have a `` testimonial aspect '' for purposes of the individual 's right to assert the Fifth Amendment privilege against self - incrimination to the extent that the individual 's act of production provides information not already in the hands of law enforcement personnel about the ( 1 ) existence ; ( 2 ) custody ; or ( 3 ) authenticity , of the documents or materials produced . See United States v. Hubbell . In Boyd v. United States , the U.S. Supreme Court stated that `` It is equivalent to a compulsory production of papers to make the nonproduction of them a confession of the allegations which it is pretended they will prove '' . By corporations ( edit ) Corporations may also be compelled to maintain and turn over records ; the Supreme Court has held that the Fifth Amendment protections against self - incrimination extend only to `` natural persons . '' The Court has also held that a corporation 's custodian of records can be forced to produce corporate documents even if the act of production would incriminate him personally . The only limitation on this rule is that the jury can not be told that the custodian personally produced those documents in any subsequent prosecution of him , but the jury is still allowed to draw adverse inferences from the content of the documents combined with the position of the custodian in the corporation . Refusal to testify in a criminal case ( edit ) In Griffin v. California ( 1965 ) , the Supreme Court ruled that a prosecutor may not ask the jury to draw an inference of guilt from a defendant 's refusal to testify in his own defense . The Court overturned as unconstitutional under the federal constitution a provision of the California state constitution that explicitly granted such power to prosecutors . Refusal to testify in a civil case ( edit ) While defendants are entitled to assert the privilege against compelled self - incrimination in a civil court case , there are consequences to the assertion of the privilege in such an action . The Supreme Court has held that `` the Fifth Amendment does not forbid adverse inferences against parties to civil actions when they refuse to testify in response to probative evidence offered against them . '' Baxter v. Palmigiano , `` ( A ) s Mr. Justice Brandeis declared , speaking for a unanimous court in the Tod case , ' Silence is often evidence of the most persuasive character . ' '' `` ' Failure to contest an assertion ... is considered evidence of acquiescence ... if it would have been natural under the circumstances to object to the assertion in question . ' '' In Baxter , the state was entitled to an adverse inference against Palmigiano because of the evidence against him and his assertion of the Fifth Amendment privilege . Some civil cases are considered `` criminal cases '' for the purposes of the Fifth Amendment . In Boyd v. United States , the U.S. Supreme Court stated that `` A proceeding to forfeit a person 's goods for an offence against the laws , though civil in form , and whether in rem or in personam , is a `` criminal case '' within the meaning of that part of the Fifth Amendment which declares that no person `` shall be compelled , in any criminal case , to be a witness against himself . '' Federal income tax ( edit ) In some cases , individuals may be legally required to file reports that call for information that may be used against them in criminal cases . In United States v. Sullivan , the United States Supreme Court ruled that a taxpayer could not invoke the Fifth Amendment 's protections as the basis for refusing to file a required federal income tax return . The Court stated : `` If the form of return provided called for answers that the defendant was privileged from making ( , ) he could have raised the objection in the return , but could not on that account refuse to make any return at all . We are not called on to decide what , if anything , he might have withheld . '' In Garner v. United States , the defendant was convicted of crimes involving a conspiracy to `` fix '' sporting contests and to transmit illegal bets . During the trial the prosecutor introduced , as evidence , the taxpayer 's federal income tax returns for various years . In one return the taxpayer had showed his occupation to be `` professional gambler . '' In various returns the taxpayer had reported income from `` gambling '' or `` wagering . '' The prosecution used this to help contradict the taxpayer 's argument that his involvement was innocent . The taxpayer tried unsuccessfully to keep the prosecutor from introducing the tax returns as evidence , arguing that since the taxpayer was legally required to report the illegal income on the returns , he was being compelled to be a witness against himself . The Supreme Court agreed that he was legally required to report the illegal income on the returns , but ruled that the privilege against self - incrimination still did not apply . The Court stated that `` if a witness under compulsion to testify makes disclosures instead of claiming the privilege , the Government has not ' compelled ' him to incriminate himself . '' Sullivan and Garner are viewed as standing , in tandem , for the proposition that on a required federal income tax return a taxpayer would probably have to report the amount of the illegal income , but might validly claim the privilege by labeling the item `` Fifth Amendment '' ( instead of `` illegal gambling income , '' `` illegal drug sales , '' etc . ) The United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit has stated : `` Although the source of income might be privileged , the amount must be reported . '' The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has stated : `` ... the amount of a taxpayer 's income is not privileged even though the source of income may be , and Fifth Amendment rights can be exercised in compliance with the tax laws `` by simply listing his alleged ill - gotten gains in the space provided for ' miscellaneous ' income on his tax form . '' In another case , the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit stated : `` While the source of some of ( the defendant ) Johnson 's income may have been privileged , assuming that the jury believed his uncorroborated testimony that he had illegal dealings in gold in 1970 and 1971 , the amount of his income was not privileged and he was required to pay taxes on it . '' In 1979 , the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit stated : `` A careful reading of Sullivan and Garner , therefore , is that the self - incrimination privilege can be employed to protect the taxpayer from revealing the information as to an illegal source of income , but does not protect him from disclosing the amount of his income . '' Grants of immunity ( edit ) If the government gives an individual immunity , then that individual may be compelled to testify . Immunity may be `` transactional immunity '' or `` use immunity '' ; in the former , the witness is immune from prosecution for offenses related to the testimony ; in the latter , the witness may be prosecuted , but his testimony may not be used against him . In Kastigar v. United States , the Supreme Court held that the government need only grant use immunity to compel testimony . The use immunity , however , must extend not only to the testimony made by the witness , but also to all evidence derived therefrom . This scenario most commonly arises in cases related to organized crime . Record keeping ( edit ) A statutorily required record - keeping system may go too far such that it implicates a record - keeper 's right against self - incrimination . A three part test laid out by Albertson v. Subversive Activities Control Board , is used to determine this : 1 . the law targets a highly selective group inherently suspect of criminal activities ; 2 . the activities sought to be regulated are already permeated with criminal statutes as opposed to essentially being non-criminal and largely regulatory ; and 3 . the disclosure compelled creates a likelihood of prosecution and is used against the record - keeper . In this case , the Supreme Court struck down an order by the Subversive Activities Control Board requiring members of the Communist Party to register with the government and upheld an assertion of the privilege against self - incrimination , on the grounds that statute under which the order had been issued was `` directed at a highly selective group inherently suspect of criminal activities . '' In Leary v. United States , the court struck down the Marijuana Tax Act because its record keeping statute required self - incrimination . In Haynes v. United States , the Supreme Court ruled that , because convicted felons are prohibited from owning firearms , requiring felons to register any firearms they owned constituted a form of self - incrimination and was therefore unconstitutional . Combinations and passwords ( edit ) While no such case has yet arisen , the Supreme Court has indicated that a respondent can not be compelled to turn over `` the contents of his own mind '' , e.g. he can not be compelled to reveal the password to a bank account if doing so would prove the existence of the bank account under his control . Lower courts have given conflicting decisions on whether forced disclosure of computer passwords is a violation of the Fifth Amendment . In In re Boucher ( 2009 ) , the US District Court of Vermont ruled that the Fifth Amendment might protect a defendant from having to reveal an encryption password , or even the existence of one , if the production of that password could be deemed a self - incriminating `` act '' under the Fifth Amendment . In Boucher , production of the unencrypted drive was deemed not to be a self - incriminating act , as the government already had sufficient evidence to tie the encrypted data to the defendant . In January 2012 a federal judge in Denver ruled that a bank - fraud suspect was required to give an unencrypted copy of a laptop hard drive to prosecutors . However , in February 2012 the Eleventh Circuit ruled otherwise - finding that requiring a defendant to produce an encrypted drive 's password would violate the Constitution , becoming the first federal circuit court to rule on the issue . In April 2013 , a District Court magistrate judge in Wisconsin refused to compel a suspect to provide the encryption password to his hard drive after FBI agents had unsuccessfully spent months trying to decrypt the data . Employer coercion ( edit ) As a condition of employment , workers may be required to answer their employer 's narrowly defined questions regarding conduct on the job . If an employee invokes the Garrity rule ( sometimes called the Garrity Warning or Garrity Rights ) before answering the questions , then the answers can not be used in criminal prosecution of the employee . This principle was developed in Garrity v. New Jersey , 385 U.S. 493 ( 1967 ) . The rule is most commonly applied to public employees such as police officers . Due process ( edit ) Main article : Due Process Clause Takings Clause ( edit ) Eminent domain ( edit ) Main article : Eminent domain The Supreme Court has held that the federal government and each state has the power of eminent domain -- the power to take private property for `` public use '' . The Takings Clause , the last clause of the Fifth Amendment , limits the power of eminent domain by requiring that `` just compensation '' be paid if private property is taken for public use . The just compensation provision of the Fifth Amendment did not originally apply directly to the states , but since Chicago , B. & Q. Railroad Co. v. Chicago ( 1897 ) , federal courts have held that the Fourteenth Amendment extended the effects of that provision to the states . The federal courts , however , have shown much deference to the determinations of Congress , and even more so to the determinations of the state legislatures , of what constitutes `` public use '' . The property need not actually be used by the public ; rather , it must be used or disposed of in such a manner as to benefit the public welfare or public interest . One exception that restrains the federal government is that the property must be used in exercise of a government 's enumerated powers . The owner of the property that is taken by the government must be justly compensated . When determining the amount that must be paid , the government does not need to take into account any speculative schemes in which the owner claims the property was intended to be used . Normally , the fair market value of the property determines `` just compensation '' . If the property is taken before the payment is made , interest accrues ( though the courts have refrained from using the term `` interest '' ) . The federal courts have not restrained state and local governments from seizing privately owned land for private commercial development on behalf of private developers . This was upheld on June 23 , 2005 , when the Supreme Court issued its opinion in Kelo v. City of New London . This 5 -- 4 decision remains controversial . The majority opinion , by Justice Stevens , found that it was appropriate to defer to the city 's decision that the development plan had a public purpose , saying that `` the city has carefully formulated a development plan that it believes will provide appreciable benefits to the community , including , but not limited to , new jobs and increased tax revenue . '' Justice Kennedy 's concurring opinion observed that in this particular case the development plan was not `` of primary benefit to ... the developer '' and that if that was the case the plan might have been impermissible . In the dissent , Justice Sandra Day O'Connor argued that this decision would allow the rich to benefit at the expense of the poor , asserting that `` Any property may now be taken for the benefit of another private party , but the fallout from this decision will not be random . The beneficiaries are likely to be those citizens with disproportionate influence and power in the political process , including large corporations and development firms . '' She argued that the decision eliminates `` any distinction between private and public use of property -- and thereby effectively delete ( s ) the words ' for public use ' from the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment '' . A number of states , in response to Kelo , have passed laws and / or state constitutional amendments which make it more difficult for state governments to seize private land . Takings that are not `` for public use '' are not directly covered by the doctrine , however such a taking might violate due process rights under the Fourteenth amendment , or other applicable law . The exercise of the police power of the state resulting in a taking of private property was long held to be an exception to the requirement of government paying just compensation . However the growing trend under the various state constitution 's taking clauses is to compensate innocent third parties whose property was destroyed or `` taken '' as a result of police action . `` Just compensation '' ( edit ) The last two words of the amendment promise `` just compensation '' for takings by the government . In United States v. 50 Acres of Land ( 1984 ) , the Supreme Court wrote that `` The Court has repeatedly held that just compensation normally is to be measured by `` the market value of the property at the time of the taking contemporaneously paid in money . '' Olson v. United States , 292 U.S. 246 ( 1934 ) ... Deviation from this measure of just compensation has been required only `` when market value has been too difficult to find , or when its application would result in manifest injustice to owner or public . '' United States v. Commodities Trading Corp. , 339 U.S. 121 , 123 ( 1950 ) .

"The Fifth Amendment (Amendment V) to the United States Constitution is part of the Bill of Rights and protects individuals from being compelled to be witnesses against themselves in criminal cases. \"Pleading the Fifth\" is a colloquial term for invoking the right that allows witnesses to decline to answer questions where the answers might incriminate them, and generally without having to suffer a penalty for asserting the right. This evidentiary privilege ensures that defendants cannot be compelled to become witnesses at their own trials. If, however, they choose to testify, they are not entitled to the right during cross-examination, where questions are relevant to their testimony on direct examination.[1] The Amendment requires that felonies be tried only upon indictment by a grand jury. Federal grand juries can force people to take the witness stand, but defendants in those proceedings have Fifth Amendment privileges until they choose to answer any question. To claim the privilege for failure to answer when being interviewed by police, the interviewee must have explicitly invoked the constitutional right when declining to answer questions."

2314312310402430125 | X-ray filter | X-ray filter - wikipedia X-ray filter Jump to : navigation , search An X-ray filter is a material placed in front of an X-ray source in order to reduce the intensity of particular wavelengths from its spectrum and selectively alter the distribution of X-ray wavelengths within a given beam . When X-rays hit matter , part of the incoming beam is transmitted through the material and part of it is absorbed by the material . The amount absorbed is dependent on the material 's mass absorption coefficient and tends to decrease for incident photons of greater energy . True absorption occurs when X-rays of sufficient energy cause electron energy level transitions in the atoms of the absorbing material . The energy from these X-rays are used to excite the atoms and do not continue past the material ( thus being `` filtered '' out ) . Because of this , despite the general trend of decreased absorption at higher energy wavelengths , there are periodic spikes in the absorption characteristics of any given material corresponding to each of the atomic energy level transitions . These spikes are called absorption edges . The result is that every material preferentially filters out x-rays corresponding to and slightly above their electron energy levels , while generally allowing X-rays with energies slightly less than these levels to transmit through relatively unscathed . Therefore , it is possible to selectively fine tune which wavelengths of x-rays are present in a beam by matching materials with particular absorption characteristics to different X-ray source spectra . Contents ( hide ) 1 Applications 2 Various elemental effects 3 Further reading 4 See also Applications ( edit ) For example , a copper X-ray source may preferentially produce a beam of x-rays with wavelengths 154 and 139 picometres . Nickel has an absorption edge at 149 pm , between the two copper lines . Thus , using nickel as a filter for copper would result in the absorption of the slightly higher energy 139 pm x-rays , while letting the 154 pm rays through without a significant decrease in intensity . Thus , a copper X-ray source with a nickel filter can produce a nearly monochromatic X-ray beam with photons of mostly 154 pm . For medical purposes , X-ray filters are used to selectively attenuate , or block out , low - energy rays during x-ray imaging ( radiography ) . Low energy x-rays ( less than 30 keV ) contribute little to the resultant image as they are heavily absorbed by the patient 's soft tissues ( particularly the skin ) . Additionally , this absorption adds to the risk of stochastic ( e.g. cancer ) or non stochastic radiation effects ( e.g. tissue reactions ) in the patient . Thus , it is favorable to remove these low energy X-rays from the incident light beam . X-ray filtration may be inherent due to the X-ray tube and housing material itself or added from additional sheets of filter material . The minimum filtration used is usually 2.5 mm aluminium ( Al ) equivalent , although there is an increasing trend to use greater filtration . Manufacturers of modern fluoroscopy equipment utilize a system of adding a variable thickness of copper ( Cu ) filtration according to patient thickness . This typically ranges from 0.1 to 0.9 mm Cu . X-ray filters are also used for X-ray crystallography , in determinations of the interatomic spaces of crystalline solids . These lattice spacings can be determined using Bragg diffraction , but this technique requires scans to be done with approximately monochromatic X-ray beams . Thus , filter set ups like the copper nickel system described above are used to allow only a single X-ray wavelength to penetrate through to a target crystal , allowing the resulting scattering to determine the diffraction distance . Various elemental effects ( edit ) Suitable for X-ray crystallography : Zirconium - Absorbs Bremsstrahlung & K - Beta . Iron - Absorbs the entire spectra . Molybdenum - Absorbs Bremsstrahlung - Leaving K - Beta & K - ... Aluminium - ' Pinches ' Bremsstrahlung * & Removes 3rd Generation peaks . Silver - Same as Aluminium , But to greater extent . Indium - Same as Iron , But to lesser extent . Copper - Same as Aluminium , Leaving only 1st Generation Peaks . Suitable for Radiography : Molybdenum - Used in Mammography Rhodium - Used in Mammography with Rhodium anodes Aluminium - Used in general radiography x-ray tubes Copper - Used in general radiography - especially in paediatric applications . Silver - Used in Mammography with tungsten anode Tantalum - Used in fluoroscopy applications with tungsten anodes Niobium - Used in radiography and dental radiography with tungsten anodes Erbium - Used in radiography with tungsten anodes Notes : - Bremsstrahlung pinching is due to the atomic mass . The denser the atom , the higher the X-Ray Absorption . Only the higher energy X-Rays pass through the filter , appearing as if the Bremsstrahlung continuum had been pinched . - In this case , Mo appears to leave K - Alpha and K - Beta alone while absorbing the Bremsstrahlung . This is due to Mo absorbing all of the spectra 's energy , but in doing so produces the same characteristic peaks as generated by the target . Further reading ( edit ) B.D. Cullity & S.R.

Bulyea Website www.lieutenantgovernor.ab.ca The swearing - in ceremony of Donald Ethell as Lieutenant Governor of Alberta , 11 May 2010 The Lieutenant Governor of Alberta / lɛfˈtɛnənt / is the viceregal representative in Alberta of the Canadian monarch , Queen Elizabeth II . The Lieutenant Governor of Alberta is appointed in the same manner as the other provincial viceroys in Canada and is similarly tasked with carrying out most of the monarch 's constitutional and ceremonial duties . The present , and 18th , Lieutenant Governor of Alberta is Lois Mitchell , who has served in the role since 12 June 2015 . Contents ( hide ) 1 Role and presence 2 History 3 Residence 4 See also 5 Bibliography 6 References 7 External links Role and presence ( edit ) Further information : Lieutenant governor ( Canada ) The Lieutenant Governor of Alberta is vested with a number of governmental duties and is also expected to undertake various ceremonial roles . The lieutenant governor , him or herself a member and Chancellor of the order , will induct deserving individuals into the Alberta Order of Excellence and , upon installation , automatically becomes a Knight or Dame of Justice and the Vice-Prior in Alberta of the Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem . The viceroy further presents other provincial honours and decorations , as well as various awards that are named for and presented by the lieutenant governor ; these are generally created in partnership with another government or charitable organization and linked specifically to their cause . These honours are presented at official ceremonies , which count amongst hundreds of other engagements the lieutenant governor partakes in each year , either as host or guest of honour ; in 2006 , the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta undertook 328 engagements and 280 in 2007 . At these events , the lieutenant governor 's presence is marked by the lieutenant governor 's standard , consisting of a blue field bearing the escutcheon of the Arms of Her Majesty in Right of Alberta surmounted by a crown and surrounded by ten gold maple leaves , symbolizing the ten provinces of Canada . Within Alberta , the lieutenant governor also follows only the sovereign in the province 's order of precedence , preceding even other members of the Canadian Royal Family and the Queen 's federal representative . History ( edit ) Further information : List of lieutenant governors of Alberta Alberta 's first Lieutenant Governor , George H.V. Bulyea ( left ) , at Alberta 's Government House with the Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal ( centre ) and Alexander Cameron Rutherford ( right ) , 7 September 1909 The office of Lieutenant Governor of Alberta came into being in 1905 , upon Alberta 's entry into Canadian Confederation , and evolved from the earlier position of Lieutenant Governor of the Northwest Territories . Since that date , 17 lieutenant governors have served the province , amongst whom were notable firsts , such as Norman Kwong -- the first Asian - Canadian Lieutenant Governor of Alberta -- and Helen Hunley -- the first female lieutenant governor of the province . The shortest mandate by a Lieutenant Governor of Alberta was Philip Primrose , from 1 October 1936 to his death on 17 March 1937 , while the longest was John C. Bowen , from 23 March 1937 to 1 February 1950 . In 1956 , following his appointment , Lieutenant Governor John J. Bowlen became the first provincial viceroy in Canada to be granted an audience with the Canadian monarch , starting a tradition that continues today for all of Canada 's lieutenant governors . One of the few examples in Canada of a viceroy exercising the Royal Prerogative against or without ministerial advice came in 1937 , when John Bowen denied Royal Assent to three bills passed through the Legislative Assembly ; two of the bills would have put the province 's banks under the control of the provincial government , while a third , the Accurate News and Information Act , would have forced newspapers to print Cabinet rebuttals to stories the ministers objected to . All three bills were later declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of Canada and the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council , though , in retaliation for this move by Bowen , his premier , William Aberhart , closed the viceregal residence , removed the Lieutenant Governor 's secretary and support offices , and took away his official car . Nearly seven decades later , Lois Hole , who served as lieutenant governor from 2000 until her death in 2005 , publicly stated that she wished to discuss with her premier , Ralph Klein , the proposed Bill 11 , which was meant to allow private health care to compete with the public health care system . From this it was suspected that Hole might reserve Royal Assent to the bill ; however , Hole eventually did allow the bill to pass . Residence ( edit ) The province 's vice-regal no longer has a home provided as their residence during their term . From 1913 to 1938 , the title holder resided at Government House and from 1966 to 2004 at 58 St. George 's Crescent . The former home is now Alberta Government Conference Centre , and the latter was demolished in 2005 .

The series is set in the fictional underwater city of Bikini Bottom , and centers on the adventures and endeavors of SpongeBob SquarePants , an over-optimistic sea sponge that annoys other characters . Many of the ideas for the show originated in an unpublished , educational comic book titled The Intertidal Zone , which Hillenburg created in the mid-1980s .

Atlantis SquarePantis , a television film guest starring David Bowie , debuted as part of the fifth season . In 2009 , Nickelodeon celebrated the show 's tenth anniversary with Square Roots : The Story of SpongeBob SquarePants and SpongeBob 's Truth or Square . The SpongeBob Movie : Sponge Out of Water , a stand - alone sequel , was released in theaters on February 6 , 2015 and grossed over US $324 million worldwide . Episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants have been nominated for a variety of different awards , including 17 Annie Awards ( with six wins ) , 17 Golden Reel Awards ( with eight wins ) , 15 Emmy Awards ( with one win ) , 13 Kids ' Choice Awards ( with 12 wins ) , and four BAFTA Children 's Awards ( with two wins ) .

A college student , she was a long - term romantic interest for Peter Parker before she was murdered by the Green Goblin ( Norman Osborn ) . Spider - Man writers and fans often debate whether Peter 's `` one true love '' is Gwen Stacy or Mary Jane Watson ( Peter 's later girlfriend and wife ) . Stories published long after her death indicate that Gwen still holds a special place in his heart . The character has been portrayed by Bryce Dallas Howard in the 2007 film Spider - Man 3 and by Emma Stone in the 2012 reboot film The Amazing Spider - Man and its sequel The Amazing Spider - Man 2 . In the upcoming 2018 film Spider - Man : Into the Spider - Verse , the character will be voiced by Hailee Steinfeld .

You can help by adding to it . ( July 2013 ) Created by writer Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko , Gwen Stacy first appeared in The Amazing Spider - Man # 31 ( December 1965 ) . Fictional character biography ( edit ) Early history ( edit ) In her initial appearances , Peter Parker met Gwen while both were studying as undergraduates at Empire State University , but with Aunt May in the hospital , Peter was troubled and ignored her advances . She dated both Flash Thompson and Harry Osborn to make Peter jealous . Gradually , however , a romance developed ; Gwen , a science major , appreciated Peter 's intellect . Their relationship began almost immediately after Peter stopped going out with Mary Jane Watson , whom he began to see as shallow and self - absorbed . Later issues introduced Gwen 's father , NYPD Captain George Stacy . Though her father was both fond of Peter and supportive of his alter - ego Spider - Man , he ultimately strained Peter 's relationship with Gwen after being killed by falling debris during a battle involving Spider - Man and Doctor Octopus . Gwen blamed Spider - Man for his death , and left for Europe to cope with her loss . She wanted Peter to ask her to marry him and convince her to stay , but his guilt stopped him from proposing . Gwen 's feelings for Peter eventually prompted her to return to New York , and their relationship was rekindled . According to Lee , who scripted all of the stories featuring Gwen Stacy up to this point , the original intent was for Gwen Stacy to be Spider - Man 's central love interest , `` but no matter how we ( i.e. Lee and his artist / co-plotter collaborators ) wrote it , Mary Jane always seemed more interesting ! '' Death ( edit ) Main article : The Night Gwen Stacy Died Gerry Conway and Roy Thomas succeeded Stan Lee as writer and editor , respectively , of The Amazing Spider - Man . Together with inker John Romita , Sr. , they came to the decision to have Gwen Stacy killed off . It was Romita who first suggested the idea , during a plotting session with Conway when Romita was still penciller on The Amazing Spider - Man . Conway later said his contribution to the decision was motivated by a desire to bring Mary Jane Watson to the forefront , as he shared Lee 's feeling that she was a more interesting character than Gwen Stacy : `` ( Mary Jane ) had n't lost the edge that made her an interesting character . Gwen did n't have an edge . She was just a nice person . '' The Green Goblin kidnaps Gwen Stacy and throws her off the George Washington Bridge in The Amazing Spider - Man # 121 ( June 1973 ) . Both the decision to kill Gwen and the method in which Marvel implemented it remain controversial among fans because some believe that Peter himself was the one who caused her death . The death became a pivotal point in both Spider - Man 's history and in American comic books in general . Many point to Gwen 's death as the end of the Silver Age of Comics . Before her death , except possibly as part of an origin story , superheroes did not fail so catastrophically , nor did the hero 's loved ones die so suddenly and without warning . In his book The Physics of Superheroes , physicist James Kakalios writes that , consistent with Newton 's laws of motion , the sudden stop would have killed Gwen Stacy . The comic book Civil War : Casualties of War : Captain America / Iron Man ( 2007 ) concurred that the proximate cause of death was the sudden stop during a high - speed fall . An issue of Peter Parker / Spider - Man revisits the issue , and further confirms Gwen died of a broken neck due to the use of the webbing . On the other hand , in the 1987 edition of the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe , Gwen 's death is attributed to the fall , not to Spider - Man 's webbing . Within the Marvel Comics , Gwen Stacy 's death has enormous repercussions . Mary Jane Watson feels the loss of Gwen deeply and becomes a more mature , compassionate person . Gwen 's death also draws Peter and Mary Jane into a closer friendship , and eventually to romance . Miles Warren , one of Gwen 's professors , was secretly in love with her . Following her death , Warren goes insane and adopts the persona of the Jackal . In the fourth and final issue of the miniseries Marvels ( April 1994 ) , photographer Phil Sheldon befriends Gwen Stacy , who has absolved Spider - Man of any blame for her father 's death . Gwen 's simple faith in heroes convinces Sheldon of the purpose of the `` Marvels '' ( i.e. , superheroes ) -- to protect innocents such as Gwen . He resolves to write a book to praise the heroes and what they should mean to humanity . When the Green Goblin kidnaps Gwen and holds her hostage to bait Spider - Man , Sheldon frantically follows the resulting chase in a taxi and witnesses her death . While it is reported that she died from the shock of the fall , Sheldon thinks it looks like something else . Sheldon 's faith in the Marvels is shattered . Clones ( edit ) Following the publication of The Amazing Spider - Man # 121 , Stan Lee ( who had since become Marvel 's publisher ) was frequently criticized by fans during his public appearances for killing off Gwen Stacy . Lee , who had also found the character 's death objectionable , insisted that Conway write a story bringing her back . Conway strongly objected since he felt any sort of resurrection would break the plausibility of the stories , but ultimately gave in under the condition that after reviving Gwen , he could write her out of the book as soon as he wanted . He decided that cloning would be the best means to bring the character back . In the resulting story , set approximately two years after Gwen Stacy 's death , `` Gwen '' reappears , perfectly healthy but with no memory of the time since her death . This story , published in Amazing Spider - Man # 144 ( May 1975 ) , initiated the original Clone Saga . At the end of that story , Gwen 's clone , a creation of Spider - Man villain the Jackal , leaves to find a new life for herself , coming to accept that she is not really the same person who had a relationship with Peter Parker . In the 1988 crossover `` The Evolutionary War '' , the High Evolutionary , who had once been Miles Warren 's teacher , captures Gwen 's clone . He is dismayed to learn that Miles Warren has perfected the art of cloning and thus lies to the New Men that it was nothing more than a genetic construct created by a virus that he injected into his apprentice , Joyce Delaney . During the second `` Clone Saga '' , Gwen Stacy 's clone , now married to a clone of Professor Warren named Warren Miles , sees a copy of Peter Parker 's book of Spider - Man photos , Webs , and remembers ( to an extent ) her real history . She returns to New York City . During this storyline , she again disappears from Spider - Man 's life . It was revealed the Gwen Stacy clone introduced in Amazing Spider - Man # 144 was in fact the second Gwen clone Miles Warren created and has been living in London under the name Joyce Delaney . This clone is murdered by the Gwen Stacy clone known as Abby - L . Another Gwen clone appears in The Amazing Spider - Man # 399 ( March 1995 ) . This clone believes she is the real Gwen . She dies from clone degeneration in Spider - Man # 56 ( March 1995 ) , the next issue of the story arc . A further Gwen clone appears in the `` Sibling Rivalry '' crossover storyline between Superior Spider - Man Team - Up and Scarlet Spider . She joins the Jackal ( alongside Carrion and a regular Miles Warren clone ) in capturing Superior Spider - Man and Kaine . She is sympathetic towards `` Peter '' and Kaine , but at the same time utterly loyal to the Jackal . When the Spiders break free , Superior Spider - Man disarms and attempts to kill her , but is stopped by Kaine . When the Jackal 's lab is engulfed in flames , Kaine offers to save her , but she refuses , and is seemingly consumed by the fire . `` Sins Past '' ( edit ) The story arc `` Sins Past '' by J. Michael Straczynski in The Amazing Spider - Man # 509 -- 514 ( August 2004 -- January 2005 ) reveals Norman Osborn , the Green Goblin 's alter ego , fathered twins , a boy and a girl , with Gwen Stacy , to whom she gave birth while in France shortly before her death . She vowed she would raise them with Peter ( despite the fact that he was not aware of Gwen 's infidelity ) and refused to allow Norman access to them . Seeing her as a threat to his potential heirs , the Green Goblin killed Gwen . Norman Osborn then raised Gwen 's two children , a boy and a girl named Gabriel and Sarah . Straczynski later stated he originally wanted to make Peter Parker the father of Gwen 's kids but the editors vetoed the idea . They felt it would age Peter Parker too much if he had two adult children . The whole creative and editorial team then decided Norman Osborn would be the father . In an e-mail to the comic book website Newsarama , Straczynski claimed he regretted the version of `` Sins Past '' that went to press , and he had hoped to `` retcon '' it out of continuity during the events of the then - recent `` One More Day '' storyline : `` I wanted to retcon the Gwen twins out of continuity , which was something I always assumed I could do at the end of my run . I was n't allowed to do this , and yes , it pissed me off . '' In the original plans for `` One More Day '' , the story would have ended with Gwen Stacy being resurrected by Mephisto 's reality - warping spell along with Harry Osborn , but it was eventually decided to let her remain dead . Her son , Gabriel , has reappeared in subsequent stories . Dead no more : the clone Conspiracy ( edit ) In the Clone Conspiracy storyline , a flashback revealed that Gwen Stacy was conscious during Spider - Man and Green Goblin 's battle on the bridge , and as she was falling to her death . She overheard their conversation and discovered Peter is Spider - Man . She was angry at Peter for keeping this secret and for his involvement in her father 's death . In the present , Gwen is supposedly revived by the Jackal with his clones . The Jackal claims that this one is not a clone but the real Gwen who was harvested from her remains and still has all her memories , including those of her death . The Jackal offers Gwen the opportunity to be his business partner as he tries to change the world with his new technology . Gwen is hesitant about this new life at first but accepts it when the Jackal shows that he has reanimated the clone of her father , who is much better than he was before he died . When Spider - Man arrives at the incorporation and discovers the Jackal 's experiments , he is surprised by Gwen 's presence and notes that unlike the other people the Jackal revived , who were all clones , Gwen does not trigger his spider - sense , making him wonder if she was the real one . He is attacked by the `` reborn '' Doctor Octopus before he can question the issue further . After the Jackal breaks up the fight and shows Spider - Man around the New U , George Stacy clone recognizes something off about Gwen 's face and points his gun at her . It was revealed that the Gwen clone was actually her Earth - 65 counterpart Spider - Woman who assists Spider - Man in escaping . The real Gwen is kidnapped by Kaine and taken to Parker Industries to be studied . Kaine reveals that he and Spider - Woman came to this Earth to assist Spider - Man because they saw that Spider - Man allying with the Jackal 's offer on other worlds results in a global disaster . Rhino and Electro are sent to retrieve Gwen after attacking the staff , but Gwen tells them to take Kaine with him too because the condition could help with Jackal 's experiments . Anna Maria Marconi also volunteers to come with because she has studied both Kaine and the drug . When Spider - Man is taken to Haven , he catches up with Gwen in the household in the facility , where she tries to convince him to support New U Technologies . Peter still has a hard time believing she is the real Gwen given his other experiences with clones . Gwen tries justifying her existence by telling Peter her memories , including how she overheard the Green Goblin talking to Spider - Man before her death . Peter thinks she died hating him , but Gwen said that she did not hate him , but rather died feeling betrayed . Peter again still has doubts towards Gwen not being a clone . She tries kissing him , to no avail which only pushes him to put the mask back on . Gwen witnesses Jackal order the villains clone to kill Spider - Man and wants to help . Doctor Octopus pulls a switch that activates the Carrion Virus in all of the revived , including Gwen and George , and causes them to start rapidly decaying . After Gwen 's father deteriorates in her arms , she assists Spider - Man by helping him get to the lab . When the villains clone get to the lab doors , Gwen locks Spider - Man inside the lab and sacrifices herself towards the villains to give him more time . Following the Carrion Virus being thwarted , Spider - Man and Anna check the building and see that Gwen has been reduced to dust . Other versions ( edit ) `` Age of Apocalypse '' ( edit ) In the two - issue mini-series X-Universe , which details what happened to the rest of the Marvel Universe during the `` Age of Apocalypse '' storyline , the Green Goblin never killed Gwen Stacy .

As the result , Marvel produced two stories featuring Gwenpool as a character , a backup story in the series `` Howard the Duck '' , and a one - shot `` Gwenpool Holiday Special # 1 '' . A retcon in the Howard the Duck # 1 backup it was revealed her name is actually `` Gwen Poole '' , not Gwen Stacy , or even an alternate version of Gwen Stacy .

Mary Jane Watson , a popular actress in this reality , played Gwen Stacy in the film adaptation of Spider - Man 's life story . Gwen and her father read textual accounts of their deaths in the main universe , though they believe this simply to be the morbid imaginings of Peter Parker , who is suffering from mental health issues .

She first appears in `` The Kids Stay in the Picture , '' initially appearing as Serena 's estranged cousin , Charlie Rhodes , whom Serena takes under her wing and introduces to the Upper East Side . The fourth season finale `` The Wrong Goodbye , '' reveals her true identity as Ivy Dickens , a struggling actress and con artist hired by Carol Rhodes to pose as her daughter in order to gain access to the real Charlie Rhodes ' trust fund . DeFer was promoted to series regular for the fifth season in light of cast members Taylor Momsen and Jessica Szohr 's departure . She is the newest addition to the female cast of Gossip Girl villains , joining the likes of Georgina Sparks and Juliet Sharp . Contents ( hide ) 1 Television series 1.1 Casting and characterization 1.2 Season 4 1.3 Season 5 1.4 Season 6 2 Reception 3 References Television series ( edit ) Casting and characterization ( edit ) Introduced in the fourth season , DeFer was set to join the cast as Carol 's daughter and Serena and Eric 's cousin , Charlie Rhodes . DeFer 's contract with the show also included the possibility of her becoming a series regular for the fifth season . She first auditioned for the role of Raina Thorpe . However , that role went to Tika Sumpter . DeFer was called back for the role of Charlie Rhodes , with the show 's writers stating that they were writing something new for her character . DeFer had also previously worked with Gossip Girl executive producers , Stephanie Savage and Joe Lazarov as well as Penn Badgley in The Mountain . Executive producer Joshua Safran later commented on her introduction and the perception that the character brought to the show . `` We always like it when we have new people who are witnessing this world for the first time ... For Charlie , it 's like trial by fire . From reading Gossip Girl for the first time or going to your first event , all that stuff we get to do over again in a new way . '' Charlie 's integration also made her a voice for the audience and critics of Gossip Girl . TV Fanatic warmly welcomed her character , stating that she `` good - naturedly mocked the show and its often convoluted plot lines . '' DeFer would later reveal details behind her character 's involvement in the fourth season finale , `` As far as I know I 'm just in the next five episodes until the season finale , and then I have no idea . But I really hope we get the opportunity to finish what Charlie started as I think it 's going to be a story - line that people will really want to follow . '' DeFer also states that Charlie is more relatable in comparison to other characters that have appeared in the show . `` She is such a real person , not being from that life and what not ... '' Season 4 ( edit ) The character is first introduced in the second half of season four as Charlotte `` Charlie '' Rhodes , the estranged cousin of Serena and Eric van der Woodsen . Under the guise of Charlie Rhodes , she experiences the world of the Upper East Side , becoming particularly close with Dan Humphrey , though Dan puts a stop to the budding relationship because of his history with Serena . However , upon learning that Vanessa Abrams had intentionally sabotaged a meeting Charlie had organized , Dan allows himself to become closer to Charlie while severing his ties with Vanessa . The two then begin an awkward relationship which concludes in the season 's penultimate episode when Charlie , dressed like Serena , demands that Dan call her by Serena 's name . It is later revealed that Charlie suffers from bi-polar disorder and she has stopped taking her medication . She leaves the Upper East Side and meets up with her mother , Carol . In the season 's final moments , `` Charlie Rhodes '' is revealed to be Ivy Dickens , an aspiring actress that Carol hired to gain access to her daughter 's trust fund . In her final scene she puts a napkin with Georgina 's number in her bag which hints that the two will team up in the fifth season . With regard to her involvement in the finale , DeFer discussed her character 's involvement . `` Charlie has a great deal to do with the season finale ... but what I am allowed to say is that Charlie does mix it up with every character . '' Season 5 ( edit ) In between the fourth and fifth seasons , after returning to Miami , Ivy moved to Los Angeles with her boyfriend , Max , in order to become an actress . Ivy later runs into Serena at a restaurant that she and her boyfriend both work at and Serena , under the impression that Ivy is Charlie , offers to have Ivy move in with her . Ivy declines , looking for several ways to get out of the situation , but Serena convinces her to move back to New York with her . After she and Serena return to New York , Charlie overhears that Carol is returning to New York and that Lily refuses to deceive her and she tells Serena that she is leaving . Serena , however , has seen this coming and asks her to return her tickets to a fashion show . When Charlie arrives , she discovers that Serena actually had her take her place as a model . After a conversation with Blair , she decides to stay . Her excitement does not last as she runs into Carol with Lily and Rufus , who had no idea that she had returned . After a confrontation with Carol , Ivy states that the family that Carol hates has been kinder to her than her own and that everything in New York ' sparkles ' and she refuses to give that up and that the van der Woodsens would have a problem should it ever come out that Carol had hired her to impersonate Charlie in order to gain access to her trust fund . After this conversation , Carol tells Ivy that she is on her own and that Carol will not help Ivy any more should her real identity ever be discovered before returning to Miami . Ivy later panics when she learns that she has left her cell phone at the fashion show , as she believes her true identity will be discovered . She is unaware , however , that her phone , along with several others , had been stolen by Nate Archibald and his shrewd boss Diana . After a conversation with Nate about the phone , she offers to help him find the owner in attempt to retrieve it . After she has accomplished this , however , Diana has discovered the connection between Ivy and Charlie and agrees to keep silent as long as Ivy works for her . Under Diana 's control , Ivy is forced to procure gossip for Diana 's use . She later finds the files that Bart Bass kept on Serena , Lily , Eric and himself , while Nate convinces her to leave them , she does not and in turn hands them over to Diana . Ivy later competes to become a bridesmaid for Blair in order to get the scoop on her wedding for Diana , where her final task is to secure a kiss from Nate . They later attend the launch party of Diana 's revamped ' Spectator ' where they use each other to reach their own ends ; Ivy to win Blair 's bridesmaid spot and Nate to make Diana jealous , unknown to the other . Diana later confronts Ivy and threatens to reveal her secret , while Ivy is adamant that she had no idea that she was the one Nate wanted to make jealous . Diana later reveals to Nate and Ivy that they had been deceiving each other , leaving them angry at one another . Although Ivy has developed feelings for Nate , Diana has threatened her to stay away from him . This changes , however , when she finds out that Ivy 's ex-boyfriend , Max , is in town looking for her and sets up an elaborate plot that very nearly causes her secret to be revealed . Max finds Gossip Girl 's website , along with a picture of Ivy under ' Charlie Rhodes ' . He tracks Ivy down at the Van der Woodsen loft and Ivy is backed into a corner where she tells Lily and Max that her mother made her change her name to Ivy in order to avoid being used for her money . While discussing this later , Ivy offers Max money to leave town and start his restaurant in Portland , Oregon . When he finds out that Ivy is actually impersonating Charlie Rhodes , he blackmails Ivy into giving him more money than she had originally offered before deciding to stay in town . When Carol and CeCe return to town however , Carol tries to help Ivy out of her trouble with Max by getting CeCe to unlock the rest of Charlie 's trust fund , which she does . After Ivy convinces Serena to drop her date with Max on Carol 's advice , Max shows up to the party and attempts to out Charlie as Ivy to the rest of the Rhodes / Van der Woodsen family . It is Carol , however , that convinces the family that Max is lying , later telling Ivy that if the family found out what has happened to the real Charlie Rhodes , Ivy would n't be the only one out . Carol tells Ivy that she may now leave New York and start a new life with the wealth she now possesses . Ivy , however , tells her that she does n't care about the wealth and luxury of being a part of the family , and that Carol can have the trust fund , since all she really wants is a family to call her own . Max continues to threaten Ivy , taking her story to Nate , who has already been warned by the Van der Woodsens . When this fails , Max takes his story to Nate 's cousin Trip who is a congressman , on the eve of Charlie 's debut into the Upper East Side society . When Max shows up at her party , Ivy sends a blast to Gossip Girl about Blair and Chuck being there as well , sending the paparazzi into the party as well . When Blair and Chuck get into a life - threatening car accident after being tailed by the paparazzi , Ivy confesses to Rufus that she is a fraud , but before he can respond , Lily arrives with news that Blair is awake and responding , but Chuck is not . Overwhelmed with guilt , Ivy calls Carol and asks her to help her leave the Upper East Side for good . A few weeks later , concerned by Charlie 's long absence , Lily hires a private investigator to find her , but the private investigator instead finds the real Charlie Rhodes , who is attending school at Juilliard . When Lily and the `` real Charlie '' meet , they do not recognize each other and nor do they seem to be aware of each other 's existence . Ivy returns briefly , looking for Lily . She finds Rufus instead , but is told where Lily can be found . Georgina discovers that Ivy is back and blackmails her into attending Nate 's party . While at Nate 's party , Ivy runs into the real Charlie Rhodes , who goes by the alias ' Lola ' and it is revealed that they took the same acting class where they grew up in Florida . Ivy attempts to leave again , but is spotted by Nate , still not knowing the truth about either of them . Nate makes a comment to Charlie about Ivy leading Charlie to get suspicious . When Ivy can finally leave , it is revealed that she has been visiting CeCe the whole time she was away . CeCe 's condition worsens and Ivy is forced to take her to the hospital , where she has a run in with the Van der Woodsens and Carol . When Charlie arrives , Ivy and Carol finally tell the truth about Carol 's scheme and Ivy 's role in it . Ivy is turned away by the Van der Woodsens . Following this , Ivy turns to Georgina and the two later crash CeCe 's wake , during which , through the reading of CeCe 's will , Ivy is left everything under her legal name instead of her alias Charlie Rhodes , revealing that CeCe knew about the fact that Ivy is n't her real granddaughter . After this revelation , Ivy kicks Lily and Rufus out of the apartment as it had been paid for by CeCe and was now hers . Ivy throws a party to commemorate the Celia Rhodes Foundation and to gain acceptance in the Upper East Side . She believes she has found an ally in William van der Woodsen after he agrees to persuade people to attend the party in exchange for money , however , it is later revealed he is working with Lily to gather evidence against Ivy to take her to court and contest CeCe 's will . After a courtroom hearing , Ivy loses all of her inheritance after Lily bribes CeCe 's nurse to testify against Ivy so she can re-claim Ivy 's share of the inheritance . Rufus takes pity on Ivy being without a home and family , and pays for her stay at a hotel . Lily finds this out later on and they fight , and Rufus returns to Brooklyn . Ivy later visits Lily and tries to seek her acceptance , confessing that she really wanted to be part of her family . Lily rejects her but offers her a cheque of 1 million dollars , asking her to leave and never return . Ivy leaves the apartment and tears up the cheque , revealing her confession was genuine . Later , Lily has Carol Rhodes arrested and charged with fraud in order to acquire her share of CeCe 's estate for herself . After William van der Woodsen takes pity on Charlie ' Lola ' Rhodes , he gives her Carol 's share of CeCe 's wealth so she can live on . In the final episode of the season , Lola signs over her entire half of Cece 's estate to Ivy and asks her to do one favor in return : Take Lily down in revenge for Carol 's imprisonment and her manipulation of events . Ivy accepts , more than happy to help after her rejection . Season 6 ( edit ) Ivy looks in on Rufus after Lily annuls their marriage and the two soon become lovers . However , Ivy is actually sleeping with Lily 's ex-husband William and using Bart in a plot to take down Lily . When Rufus sees the two kissing ( although not seeing William 's face ) , he breaks up with Ivy . Ivy helps Blair in her plans to try and take down Chuck 's father and when the man dies , she believes it 's finally time she and William come out in public as a couple . However , when she meets William , he is with Lily and claims to have never met Ivy before . Ivy tries to tell Lily of their relationship but Lily does n't believe her . After Lily leaves , William informs Ivy he was using her all along to break up Lily and Rufus so he could finally have Lily to himself . He coldly informs Ivy nobody wants her around and she should just take her money and leave . In the final scene ( set five years later ) Ivy has written a book about her experiences that 's being made into a movie . Reception ( edit ) The critical reception of the character had been positive until the start of Season 5 . During the series fourth season , Charlie became the subject of praise with her successful integration into the Upper East Side . TV Fanatic praised and welcomed her presence on the show . In the episode The Princesses and the Frog , Steve Marsi praised her choice of confronting Vanessa alone , calling her `` a natural '' at schemes and that `` even an outsider can thoroughly outshine an outcast . '' TV Guide praised the ousting of Vanessa by Charlie , stating that `` it did n't take her long to cross over to `` the other side '' `` . Beginning in the fifth season , however , her character began to receive less than favorable reviews . NY Mag and The Baltimore Sun referred to the Charlie / Ivy plot as `` ridiculous '' . The Wall Street Journal suggested that the storyline was repetitive , baring too much of a resemblance to the Juliet and Vanessa plot in the previous season . Sharon Tharp of Ology wrote that the Charlie / Ivy plot was predictable and earned `` too much screentime '' . References ( edit ) ^ Jump up to : `` Gossip Girl - Season 5 - Kaylee DeFer '' .

The Blair Witch Project Theatrical release poster Directed by Daniel Myrick Eduardo Sánchez Produced by Robin Cowie Gregg Hale Written by Daniel Myrick Eduardo Sánchez Starring Heather Donahue Michael C. Williams Joshua Leonard Music by Antonio Cora Cinematography Neal Fredericks Edited by Daniel Myrick Eduardo Sánchez Production company Haxan Films Distributed by Artisan Entertainment Release date January 25 , 1999 ( 1999 - 01 - 25 ) ( Sundance ) July 14 , 1999 ( 1999 - 07 - 14 ) ( United States ) Running time 81 minutes Country United States Language English Budget $60,000 Box office $248.6 million The Blair Witch Project is a 1999 American psychological horror film written , directed , and edited by Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez . It tells the fictional story of three student filmmakers ( Heather Donahue , Michael C. Williams , and Joshua Leonard ) who hike in the Black Hills near Burkittsville , Maryland , in 1994 to film a documentary about a local legend known as the Blair Witch . The three disappear , but their video and sound equipment ( along with most of the footage they shot ) is discovered a year later ; the `` recovered footage '' is the film the viewer is watching . Myrick and Sánchez conceived of a fictional legend of the Blair Witch in 1993 . They developed a thirty - five page screenplay with the dialogue to be improvised . A casting call advertisement in Backstage magazine was prepared by the directors and Donahue , Williams , and Leonard were cast . The film entered production in October 1997 , with the principal photography taking place in Maryland for eight days . About twenty hours of footage was shot and was edited down to eighty - two minutes . The Blair Witch Project premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 25 , 1999 , during which a promotional marketing campaign listed the actors as either `` missing '' or `` deceased '' . Owing to its successful run at Sundance , Artisan Entertainment bought the distribution rights for $1.1 million , and had a North American release on July 14 , 1999 before expanding to a wider release starting on July 30 . While critical reception was mostly positive , the audience reception was polarized . Nevertheless , the film was widely regarded to have popularized the found footage film technique , which was later employed by similarly successful films such as Paranormal Activity and Cloverfield . A sleeper hit , The Blair Witch Project grossed nearly $250 million worldwide on a modest budget of $60,000 , making it one of the most successful independent films of all time . The Blair Witch Project spawned two sequels -- Book of Shadows and Blair Witch -- released in October 2000 and September 2016 , respectively . The Blair Witch franchise has since expanded to also include various novels , dossiers , comic books and additional merchandise .

They travel to Burkittsville , Maryland , and interview residents about the legend . Locals tell them of Rustin Parr , a hermit who lived in the woods and kidnapped eight children in the 1940s . After spending the night at a motel , the students explore the woods in north Burkittsville to research the legend . Along the way , they meet two fishermen , one of whom warns them that the woods are haunted . He also tells them of a young girl named Robin Weaver who went missing in 1888 . When she returned three days later , she talked about `` an old woman whose feet never touched the ground . '' However , his companion is skeptical of the story . The students then hike to Coffin Rock , where five men were found ritualistically murdered in the 19th century , their bodies later disappearing . The group then camps for the night . They move deeper into the woods the next day and locate what appears to be an old cemetery with seven small cairns and set up camp nearby . Later that night , they hear the sound of twigs snapping from all directions but assume the noises are from animals or locals . The following day , they attempt to hike back to the car , but are unable to find it before dark and make camp . That night , they again hear twigs snapping but fail to find the source of the noises . At morning they find that three cairns have been built around their tent during the night , which unnerves them . As they continue , Heather realizes her map is missing and Mike later reveals he kicked it into a creek the previous day out of frustration , which prompts Heather and Josh to attack him in a rage . They realize they are now lost and decide simply to head south . They eventually reach a section where they discover a multitude of humanoid stick figures suspended from trees . That night , they hear sounds again , including the sound of children laughing among other strange noises . After an unknown force shakes the tent , they flee in panic and hide in the woods until dawn . Upon returning to their tent , they find that their possessions have been rifled through , and Josh 's equipment is covered with slime . As they continue , they come across a log on a river identical to one they crossed earlier . They realize they have walked in a circle , despite having traveled south all day , and once again make camp . Josh suffers a breakdown while holding the camera , taunting Heather for their circumstances and her constant recording of the events . Heather and Mike awaken the next morning to find that Josh has disappeared . After trying in vain to find him , they slowly move on . That night , they hear Josh 's agonized screams in the darkness but are unable to locate him . Mike and Heather theorize that Josh 's screams are a fabrication by the witch in order to draw them out of their tent . Heather discovers a bundle of sticks the next day , tied with a piece of fabric from Josh 's shirt outside her tent . As she searches through it , she finds blood - soaked scraps of Josh 's shirt as well as teeth , hair , and what appears to be a piece of his tongue . Although distraught by the discovery , she chooses not to tell Mike . That night , Heather records herself apologizing to her family , as well as to the families of Mike and Josh , taking full responsibility for their predicament . They again hear Josh 's agonized cries for help and follow them to a derelict , abandoned house containing symbols and children 's bloody hand - prints on the walls . Mike races upstairs in an attempt to find Josh while Heather follows . Mike then says he hears Josh in the basement . He runs downstairs while a hysterical Heather struggles to keep up . Upon reaching the basement , something attacks Mike and causes him to drop the camera and go silent . Heather enters the basement screaming , and her camera captures Mike facing a corner . Something then attacks Heather , causing her to drop her camera and go silent as well . The footage continues for another moment and then ends . Production ( edit ) Development ( edit ) Development of The Blair Witch Project began in 1993 . While film students at the University of Central Florida , Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez came across the idea for the film after realizing that they found documentaries on paranormal phenomena scarier than traditional horror films . The two decided to create a film that combined the styles of both . After graduation , Myrick and Sánchez , along with Gregg Hale , Robin Cowie , and Michael Monello started the production company Haxan Films , derived from Benjamin Christensen 's 1922 Swedish - Danish silent documentary horror film Häxan , whose English - language title is Witchcraft Through the Ages . In developing the mythology behind the film , the creators used many inspirations . For instance , several character names are near - anagrams : Elly Kedward ( The Blair Witch ) is Edward Kelley , a 16th - century mystic , and Rustin Parr , the fictional 1940s child - murderer , began as an anagram for Rasputin . Viewers are told that the Blair Witch is , according to legend , the ghost of Elly Kedward , a woman banished from the Blair Township ( latter - day Burkittsville ) for witchcraft in 1785 . The directors incorporated that part of the legend , along with allusions to the Salem witch trials and Arthur Miller 's 1953 play The Crucible , to play on the themes of injustice done on those who were called witches . The directors cited influences such as the television series In Search of ... , and horror documentary films Chariots of the Gods and The Legend of Boggy Creek . Other influences included commercially successful horror films such as The Shining , Alien , and The Omen . Jaws was an influence as well , presumably because the witch was hidden from the viewer for the entirety of the film , forcing suspense from the unknown . Pre-production ( edit ) Joshua Leonard played a fictionalized version of himself in the film . Pre-production began on October 5 , 1997 . In talks with investors , the directors presented an eight - minute documentary along with newspapers and news footage . The documentary was also aired on the defunct television series Split Screen hosted by John Pierson . The script began with a thirty - five page outline , with the dialogue to be improvised . Accordingly , the directors advertised in Backstage magazine for actors with strong improvisational abilities . There was a very informal improvisational audition process to narrow the pool of 2,000 actors . According to Heather Donahue , auditions for the film were held at Musical Theater Works in New York City , and ads were placed in the weekly Backstage for an open audition . The advertisement noted a `` completely improvised feature film '' shot in a `` wooded location '' . Donahue described the audition as Myrick and Sánchez posing her the question : `` You 've served seven years of a nine year sentence . Why should we let you out on parole ? '' to which Donahue was required to improvise a response . Joshua Leonard , also in response to audition calls through Backstage , claimed he was cast in the film due to his knowledge of how to run a camera , as there was not an omniscient camera filming the scenes . Filming ( edit ) Principal photography began on October 23 , 1997 . Most of the film was shot in Seneca Creek State Park in Montgomery County , Maryland , although a few scenes were filmed in the real town of Burkittsville . Some of the townspeople interviewed in the film were not actors , and some were planted actors , unknown to the main cast . Donahue had never operated a camera before and spent two days in a `` crash course '' . Donahue said she modeled her character after a director she had once worked with , citing the character 's `` self - assuredness '' when everything went as planned , and confusion during crisis . During filming , the actors were equipped with a CP - 16 and Hi8 video cameras provided by cinematographer Neal Fredericks , and given clues as to their next location through messages hidden inside 35 mm film cans left in milk crates found with Global Positioning Satellite systems . They were given individual instructions that they would use to help improvise the action of the day . Teeth were obtained from a Maryland dentist for use as human remains in the film . Influenced by producer Gregg Hale 's memories of his military training , in which `` enemy soldiers '' would hunt a trainee through wild terrain for three days , the directors moved the characters a long way during the day , harassing them by night and depriving them of food . The final scenes were filmed at the historic Griggs House , a 200 - year - old building located in the Patapsco Valley State Park near Granite , Maryland . In late November 1999 , the house was reportedly being flocked by fans of the film and took chunks from it as souvenir , which caused the township to order it to be demolished the following month . Filming concluded on October 31 , Halloween . Post-production ( edit ) After filming , twenty hours of raw footage was recorded which had to be cut down to two - and - a-half hours ; the editing process took more than eight months . The directors screened the first cut in small film festivals in order to get feedback and make changes that would ensure that it appealed to as large an audience as possible . Originally , it was hoped that the film would make it on to cable television , and the directors did not anticipate wide release . The final version was submitted to Sundance Film Festival . After a surprise hit during its midnight premiere on January 25 , 1999 , Artisan Entertainment bought the distribution rights for $1.1 million . Prior to that , Artisan had wanted to change the film 's original ending -- in which Donahue screams in terror and finds Michael C. Williams facing a corner in the basement before being knocked over -- as a number of test audiences were somewhat puzzled even though they admitted being scared with it . The directors and Williams traveled back to Maryland and four alternate endings were shot , one of which employed gory elements . Ultimately , they decided to keep the original , with Myrick explaining , `` What makes us fearful is something that 's out of the ordinary , unexplained . The first ending kept the audience off balance ; it challenged our real world conventions and that 's what really made it scary . '' A list of production budget figures have circulated over the years , appearing as low as $20,000 . In an interview with Entertainment Weekly , Sánchez revealed that when principal photography first wrapped , approximately $20,000 to $25,000 had been spent . Richard Corliss of Time magazine reported a $35,000 estimated budget . Other figures list a final budget ranging between $500,000 and $750,000 . By September 2016 , The Blair Witch Project has been officially budgeted at $60,000 . Marketing ( edit ) A missing person poster showing Heather Donahue ( left ) , Joshua Leonard ( middle ) , and Michael C. Williams ( right ) as part of the film 's marketing campaign tactic to portray its events as real . The Blair Witch Project is thought to be the first widely released film marketed primarily by the Internet . The film 's official website featured faux police reports and `` newsreel - style '' interviews . These augmented the film 's found footage device to spark debates across the Internet over whether the film was a real - life documentary or a work of fiction . During screenings , the filmmakers made advertising efforts to promulgate the events in the film as factual , including the distribution of flyers at festivals such as the Sundance Film Festival , asking viewers to come forward with any information about the `` missing '' students . The campaign tactic was that viewers were being told , through missing persons posters , that the characters were missing while researching in the woods for the mythical Blair Witch . The IMDb page also listed the actors as `` missing , presumed dead '' in the first year of the film 's availability . The film 's website contains materials of actors posing as police and investigators giving testimony about their casework , and shared childhood photos of the actors to add a sense of realism . USA Today has opined that The Blair Witch Project was the first film to go viral despite having been produced before many of the technologies that facilitate such phenomena existed . Fictional legend ( edit ) The backstory for the film is a legend fabricated by Sánchez and Myrick which is detailed in the Curse of the Blair Witch , a mockumentary broadcast on the SciFi Channel in 1999 prior to the release of The Blair Witch Project . Sánchez and Myrick also maintain a website which adds further details to the legend . The legend describes the killings and disappearances of some of the residents of Blair , Maryland ( a fictitious town on the site of Burkittsville , Maryland ) from the 18th to 20th centuries . Residents blamed these occurrences on the ghost of Elly Kedward , a Blair resident accused of practicing witchcraft in 1785 and sentenced to death by exposure . The Curse of the Blair Witch presents the legend as real , complete with manufactured newspaper articles , newsreels , television news reports , and staged interviews . Release ( edit ) Theatrical run ( edit ) The Blair Witch Project premiered on January 25 , 1999 at the Sundance Film Festival , and had a limited release on July 14 before going wide on July 30 after months of publicity , including a campaign by the studio to use the Internet and suggest that the film was `` a record of real events '' . The distribution strategy for the film was created and implemented by Artisan studio executive Steven Rothenberg . The film earned $1,512,054 in its limited release opening weekend . The film went on to gross $29,207 , 38 from 1,101 locations and placed at number two in the United States box office third opening weekend , surpassing the science fiction horror film Deep Blue Sea which cleared $19,107,643 weekend gross . The film secured its second place in its fourth weekend , behind another horror film The Sixth Sense , which cleared $26,681,262 . The film descended at number three in its fifth weekend , at number five in its sixth weekend , and number eight in its seventh and eighth weekend during Labor Day . The film dropped out of the top - ten list in its tenth weekend until its last screening in 107 theaters in its seventeenth weekend , grossing $28,866 and placing in number sixty - three . By the end of its theatrical run , the film grossed $140,539,099 in the US and Canada in its total screening and produced $108,100,000 in other territories , having an overall gross of $248,639,099 ( over 4,000 times its original budget ) . The Blair Witch Project was the tenth highest - grossing film in the US in 1999 , and has since earned the reputation of becoming a sleeper hit . Because the filming was done by the actors using hand - held cameras , much of the footage is shaky , especially the final sequence in which a character is running down a set of stairs with the camera . Some audience members experienced motion sickness and even vomited as a result . Critical reception ( edit ) `` At a time when digital techniques can show us almost anything , The Blair Witch Project is a reminder that what really scares us is the stuff we ca n't see . The noise in the dark is almost always scarier than what makes the noise in the dark . '' -- Roger Ebert , writing for the Chicago Sun - Times The Blair Witch Project was met with generally positive reviews but polarized audiences on release . Rotten Tomatoes , a review aggregator , reports that 86 % of 155 surveyed critics gave the film a positive review ; the average rating is 7.7 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus states , `` Full of creepy campfire scares , mock - doc The Blair Witch Project keeps audiences in the dark about its titular villain -- thus proving that imagination can be as scary as anything onscreen '' . Metacritic rated it 81 / 100 based on 33 reviews , indicating `` universal acclaim '' . The Blair Witch Project 's found footage film technique received near - universal praise by many and , though not the first to employ it , has been declared a milestone in film history due to its critical and box office success . Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun - Times gave the film a total of four stars , and called it `` an extraordinarily effective horror film '' . Peter Travers of Rolling Stone called it `` a groundbreaker in fright that reinvents scary for the new millennium '' . Todd McCarthy of Variety said , `` An intensely imaginative piece of conceptual filmmaking that also delivers the goods as a dread - drenched horror movie , The Blair Witch Project puts a clever modern twist on the universal fear of the dark and things that go bump in the night . '' Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly gave a B grade , saying , `` As a horror picture , the film may not be much more than a cheeky game , a novelty with the cool , blurry look of an avant - garde artifact . But as a manifestation of multimedia synergy , it 's pretty spooky . '' Conversely , Andrew Sarris of The New York Observer said , `` Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez 's The Blair Witch Project represents the ultimate triumph of the Sundance scam : Make a heartless home movie , get enough critics to blurb in near unison ' scary , ' and watch the suckers flock to be fleeced . This fictional documentary within a pseudo-documentary form may be the most overrated , under - financed piece of film to come down the pike in a long time . '' A critic from The Christian Science Monitor said , `` The concept is clever , suggesting a new way to build horror - movie suspense without much on - camera gore . The film would be better as a 30 - minute short , though , since its shaky camera work and fuzzy images get monotonous after a while , and there 's not much room for character development within the very limited plot . '' R.L. Schaffer of IGN gave it two out of ten , and described it as `` boring -- really boring '' , and `` a Z - grade , low - rent horror outing with no real scares into a genuine big - budget spectacle '' . Home Media ( edit ) The DVD for The Blair Witch Project was released on October 26 , 1999 by Artisan , presented in a 1.33 : 1 windowboxed aspect ratio and Dolby Digital 2.0 audio . Special features include the documentary Curse of the Blair Witch , a five - minute Newly Discovered Footage , audio commentary , production notes , and cast and crew biographies . The audio commentary presents directors Daniel Myrick , Eduardo Sánchez , and producers Rob Cowie , Mike Monello and Gregg Hale , in which they discuss the film 's production . The Curse of the Blair Witch feature provides an in - depth look inside the creation of the film . The film 's Blu - ray version was released on October 5 , 2010 by Lionsgate . Best Buy and Lionsgate had an exclusive release of the Blu - ray made available on August 29 , 2010 .

These include Paranormal Activity and REC ( both in 2007 ) , Cloverfield ( 2008 ) , The Last Exorcism and Trollhunter ( both in 2010 ) , Chronicle , Project X , V / H / S , and End of Watch ( all in 2012 ) , and The Den ( 2013 ) . Some critics have also noted the film as being strikingly similar to Cannibal Holocaust ( 1980 ) , and The Last Broadcast ( 1998 ) in terms of basic plot premise and narrative style . Although Cannibal Holocaust director Ruggero Deodato has acknowledged the similarities of The Blair Witch Project to his film , he criticized the publicity that it received for being an original production ; advertisements for The Blair Witch Project also promoted the idea that the footage is genuine . Despite initial reports by media outlets such as the New York Post and E ! Entertainment that The Last Broadcast creators , Stefan Avalos and Lance Weiler , had alleged that The Blair Witch Project was a complete rip - off of their work and would sue Haxan Films for copyright infringement , they repudiated these allegations . One of the creators told IndieWire in 1999 , `` If somebody enjoys The Blair Witch Project there is a chance they will enjoy our film , and we hope they will check it out . '' Film critic Michael Dodd has argued that the film is an embodiment of horror `` modernizing its ability to be all - encompassing in expressing the fears of American society '' , acknowledging its status as the archetypal modern found footage feature , he noted that `` In an age where anyone can film whatever they like , horror need n't be a cinematic expression of what terrifies the cinema - goer , it can simply be the medium through which terrors captured by the average American can be showcased '' . In 2008 , The Blair Witch Project was ranked by Entertainment Weekly as number ninety - nine on their list of 100 Best Films from 1983 to 2008 . In 2006 , the Chicago Film Critics Association ranked it as number twelve on their list of Top 100 Scariest Movies . It was ranked number fifty on Filmcritic.com 's list of 50 Best Movie Endings of All Time . In 2016 , it was ranked by IGN as number twenty - one on their list of Top 25 Horror Movies of All Time , number sixteen on Cosmopolitan 's 25 Scariest Movies of All Time , and number three on The Hollywood Reporter 's 10 Scariest Movies of All Time . In 2013 , the film also made the top - ten list of The Hollywood Reporter 's highest - grossing independent films of all time , ranking number six . American filmmaker Eli Roth has cited the film as a source of inspiration to promote his 2002 horror film Cabin Fever through the use of the Internet . The Blair Witch Project was among the films included in the book 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die . Media tie - ins ( edit ) Main article : Blair Witch Books ( edit ) In September 1999 , D. A. Stern compiled The Blair Witch Project : A Dossier . Perpetuating the film 's `` true story '' angle , the dossier consisted of fabricated police reports , pictures , interviews , and newspaper articles presenting the film 's premise as fact , as well as further elaboration on the Elly Kedward and Rustin Parr legends ( an additional `` dossier '' was created for Blair Witch 2 ) . Stern wrote the 2000 novel Blair Witch : The Secret Confessions of Rustin Parr , and revisited the franchise with the novel Blair Witch : Graveyard Shift , featuring all original characters and plot . A series of eight young adult books entitled The Blair Witch Files were released by Random subsidiary Bantam from 2000 to 2001 . The books center on Cade Merill , a fictional cousin of Heather Donahue , who investigates phenomena related to the Blair Witch in attempt to discover what really happened to Heather , Mike , and Josh . Comic books ( edit ) In July 1999 , Oni Press released a one - shot comic promoting the film , titled The Blair Witch Project # 1 . Written and illustrated by Cece Malvey , the comic was released in conjunction of the film . In October 2000 , coinciding with the release of Book of Shadows : Blair Witch 2 , Image Comics released a one - shot called Blair Witch : Dark Testaments , drawn by Charlie Adlard . Video games ( edit ) In 2000 , Gathering of Developers released a trilogy of computer games based on the film , which greatly expanded on the myths first suggested in the film . The graphics engine and characters were all derived from the producer 's earlier game Nocturne . The first volume , Rustin Parr , received the most praise , ranging from moderate to positive , with critics commending its storyline , graphics and atmosphere ; some reviewers even claimed that the game was scarier than the film . The following volumes , The Legend of Coffin Rock and The Elly Kedward Tale , were less well received , with PC Gamer saying that Volume 2 's `` only saving grace was its cheap price '' , and calling Volume 3 `` amazingly mediocre '' . Documentary ( edit ) The Woods Movie ( 2015 ) is a feature - length documentary exploring the production of The Blair Witch Project . For this documentary , director Russ Gomm interviewed the original film 's producer , Gregg Hale , and directors Eduardo Sánchez and Daniel Myrick . Sequels ( edit ) Main articles : Book of Shadows : Blair Witch 2 and Blair Witch ( film ) A sequel entitled Book of Shadows was released on October 27 , 2000 ; it was poorly received by most critics . A third installment announced that same year did not materialize . On July 22 , 2016 , a surprise trailer for Blair Witch was revealed at the San Diego Comic - Con . The film was originally marketed as The Woods so as to be an exclusive surprise announcement for those in attendance at the convention . The film , distributed by Lionsgate , was slated for a September 16 release and stars James Allen McCune as the brother of the original film 's Heather Donahue . Directed by Adam Wingard , Blair Witch is a direct sequel to The Blair Witch Project , and does not acknowledge the events of Book of Shadows : Blair Witch 2 . However , Wingard has said that although his version does not reference any of the events that transpired in Book of Shadows , the film does not necessarily discredit the existence of Book of Shadows : Blair Witch 2 . In September 2016 , screenwriter Simon Barrett explained that in writing the new film , he only considered material that was produced with the involvement of the original film 's creative team ( directors Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez , producer Gregg Hale , and production designer Ben Rock ) to be `` canon '' , and that he did not take any material produced without their direct involvement -- such as the first sequel Book of Shadows or The Blair Witch Files , a series of young adult novels -- into consideration when writing the new sequel .

-8620021157522061610 | Paralegal | Paralegal - wikipedia Paralegal Jump to : navigation , search Not to be confused with Law clerk . A paralegal is an individual , qualified by education , training or work experience , who is employed or retained by a lawyer , law office , corporation , governmental agency , or other entity and who performs specifically delegated substantive legal work for which a lawyer is responsible . However , this definition can vary depending on the jurisdiction , for example in Ontario , Canadian paralegals are independent legal practitioners , licensed by the Law Society of Upper Canada to provide legal services within their scope of practice to members of the public . Licensed paralegals in Ontario may manage their own legal firm or be appointed as a justice of the peace and have the opportunity to seek employment as a municipal or provincial prosecutor . A paralegal is a person trained in legal matters who performs tasks requiring knowledge of the law and legal procedures . A paralegal , like a lawyer , can be employed by a law office or work freelance at a company or law office . Paralegals are not allowed to offer legal services directly to the public on their own and must perform their legal work under an attorney or law firm ( except in Ontario Canada ) . Many paralegals may have their own company and be called Law Agents , providing services such as settlements , court filings , legal research and other auxiliary legal services . These tasks often have instructions from a solicitor attached . Other tasks may only be the title of a task to be performed with no instructions of how it is to be completed . Often the instructing legal entity relies on the expertise of a paralegal in regard to how compliance is to be met in completing tasks . A paralegal is protected under the conduit theory , which means he or she is working as an enhancement of an attorney and what he or she does is due to instruction by the attorney and the attorney is ultimately responsible . Paralegals often have taken a prescribed series of courses in law and legal processes . Paralegals may analyze and summarize depositions , prepare and answer interrogatories , draft procedural motions and other routine briefs , perform legal research and analysis , draft research memos , and perform case and project management . Paralegals often handle drafting much of the paper work in probate cases , divorce actions , bankruptcies , and investigations . Consumers of legal services are typically billed for the time paralegals spend on their cases . The definition of paralegal varies by country . In the United States , they are not authorized by the government or other agency to offer legal services in the same way as lawyers , nor are they officers of the court , nor are they usually subject to government - sanctioned or court - sanctioned rules of conduct . In contrast , in Ontario , Canada , paralegals are licensed and regulated the same way that lawyers are . In Ontario , licensed paralegals provide permitted legal services to the public and appear before certain lower level courts and administrative tribunals .

These definitions typically have slight differences . From the National Federation of Paralegal Associations ( NFPA ) ( USA ) : `` A paralegal is a person , qualified through education , training or work experience to perform substantive legal work that requires knowledge of legal concepts and is customarily , but not exclusively , performed by a lawyer . This person may be retained or employed by a lawyer , law office , governmental agency or other entity or may be authorized by administrative , statutory or court authority to perform this work . Substantive shall mean work requiring recognition , evaluation , organization , analysis , and communication of relevant facts and legal concepts . '' From the National Association of Legal Assistants ( NALA ) ( USA ) : `` Legal assistants ( also known as paralegals ) are a distinguishable group of persons who assist attorneys in the delivery of legal services . Through formal education , training and experience , legal assistants have knowledge and expertise regarding the legal system and substantive and procedural law which qualify them to do work of a legal nature under the supervision of an attorney . '' This is NALA 's former 1984 definition . In 2001 , the organization adopted the American Bar Association 's ( ABA ) definition of a paralegal / legal assistant . From National Association of Legal Secretaries ( NALS ) ( USA ) : `` A legal assistant / paralegal is a person , qualified by education , training or work experience who is employed or retained by a lawyer , law office , corporation , governmental agency or other entity and who performs specifically delegated substantive legal work for which a lawyer is responsible . '' From the American Association for Paralegal Education ( AAfPE ) ( USA ) : `` Paralegals perform substantive and procedural legal work as authorized by law , which work , in the absence of the paralegal , would be performed by an attorney . Paralegals have knowledge of the law gained through education , or education and work experience , which qualifies them to perform legal work . Paralegals adhere to recognized ethical standards and rules of professional responsibility . '' From the Institute of Paralegals ( United Kingdom ) : `` A paralegal is a non-lawyer who does legal work that previously would have been done by a lawyer , or if done by a lawyer , would be charged for . '' From the Paralegal Society of Ontario ( Canada ) : `` A paralegal is an individual qualified through education or experience licensed to provide legal services to the general public in areas authorized by the Law Society of Upper Canada . '' From the National Association of Licensed Paralegals ( United Kingdom ) : `` A person who is educated and trained to perform legal tasks but who is not a qualified solicitor or barrister . '' Difference between paralegals and legal secretaries ( edit ) A legal secretary is generally a secretary who has a basic understanding of legal terminology and the specific formatting required by a particular court or government agency . Legal secretaries are also typically responsible for keeping case files organized and indexed , often taking on the duties of a file clerk . Although legal secretaries may be trained to prepare some basic legal papers and letters , they generally have little or no knowledge of particular legal doctrines , statutes or regulations , and typically have no training or experience in conducting legal research or drafting legal documents , pleadings , motions , briefs or other court papers . On the other hand , a typical paralegal in the United States can perform all of these tasks under an attorney or law office . Paralegals bill for their time at a higher rate than legal secretaries . Education , training , and certification ( edit ) Most paralegals have completed a formal paralegal education program . However , some paralegals have only on - the - job paralegal training . Formal paralegal education programs may result in an associate degree , bachelor 's degree , master 's degree , or paralegal certificate . Many paralegals have completed all of their training before entering the profession , while others have completed their education while working their way up from the mailroom in a law firm . Many paralegals take Continuing Legal Education ( CLE ) courses to fulfill the requirements of their firm , state , or association . Economics ( edit ) The paralegal phenomenon is a legal - economics argument in all jurisdictions -- they exist precisely because they are not lawyers and thus can do the work much more cheaply . Other than expertise , the main constraint on what work a paralegal can or can not do tends to be local rules that reserve ( i.e. give a monopoly to ) particular activities to lawyers . Each jurisdiction tends to have its own `` reserved activities list '' . According to United States law , there are five specific acts which only a licensed attorney can perform : Establish the attorney -- client relationship Give legal advice Sign legal papers and pleadings on behalf of a party Appear in court on behalf of another ( i.e. the client ) Set and collect fees for legal services Beyond the five acts above , the paralegal can perform practically any other task , including legal research , legal writing , factual investigation , preparation of exhibits , and the day - to - day tasks of case management . The key is that attorneys are entirely responsible for the actions of their paralegals , and , by signing and filing court documents drafted by paralegals ( or law clerks ) , attorneys make those documents their own . Trends in usage of paralegals ( edit ) In the United States , the need for accredited qualifications and bar licensure limits the number of licensed attorneys . At the same time , there are many legal tasks for which a bar license is unnecessary but some amount of legal training is helpful . In order to lower costs , businesses may choose to employ paralegals to undertake such tasks instead of a more expensive lawyer . Paralegal time is typically billed at only a fraction of what a lawyer charges , and thus to the paralegal has fallen those substantive and procedural tasks which are too complex for legal secretaries ( whose time is not billed ) but for which lawyers can no longer bill . This in turn makes lawyers more efficient by allowing them to concentrate solely on the substantive legal issues of the case , while paralegals have become the `` case managers . '' The growing demand of paralegal professionals at a very rapid rate has resulted in schools and colleges catering to such education popping up everywhere . It has been found through a survey that currently 50,000 students are enrolled in paralegal education courses . The American Association for Paralegal Education ( AAPE ) itself has more than 450 members ; 260 of them are ABA - approved . Seminars and events are being held by various institutes to help broaden the knowledge base of the paralegal service providers and the importance associated with it . Although the nation is experiencing a recession , the paralegal profession continues to grow . Law firms and legal departments are cutting costs and increasing access to legal services by hiring paralegals . The United Kingdom has gone one step further . Much legal work by lawyers for the poorer elements of society is legally aided , or paid for by the state . As overall costs have risen due to more people than ever engaging with the law , the government has reduced such legal aid . As a result , the work has become uneconomic for many and they have ceased doing it . Paralegal advisory firms are stepping in to fill the gap . The increased use of paralegals has slowed the rising cost of legal services and serves in some small measure ( in combination with contingency fees and insurance ) to keep the cost of legal services within the reach of the regular population . However , one commentator has warned that `` our profession makes a serious error if it uses legal assistants only as economic tools . '' Paralegal medical Consultants ( edit ) Some attorneys who practice in fields involving medical care have only a limited knowledge of healthcare and medical concepts and terminology . Therefore , Legal Medical Consultants which are professional physicians , paramedics , nurses and respiratory therapists , have become fully trained as paralegals in the manner described above and assist behind the scenes on these cases , in addition to serving as expert witnesses from time to time . Paralegals by country ( edit ) This section does not cite any sources . Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( July 2008 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Australia ( edit ) Australia has a distinct regime for the utiliziation of paralegals . According to one paralegal studies scholar : The legal profession 's monopoly in Australia is , however , confined to the right of appearance in a court of law and to the preparation of certain documents for reward , which leaves a vast field of legal tasks open to performance by other workers , including paralegals . -- Jill Irene Cowley Furthermore , Australian paralegals have `` little formal recognition of , or status accorded '' them , yet they `` require specialist education . '' Canada ( edit ) In Canada , paralegals are legal agents who have the ability to represent on many matters , including all provincial offences , work for provincial tribunals and boards , as well as summary criminal cases . Alberta has no legislation in place currently that regulates paralegals . The majority of legal assistants and paralegals work under the supervision of a lawyer . Ontario ( edit ) In Ontario , paralegals are licensed by the Law Society of Upper Canada . Ontario is the only jurisdiction in the western hemisphere where paralegals are licensed and the profession is regulated as officers of the court . Licensed paralegals operate within a defined scope of practice , representing clients in matters such as provincial offenses ( traffic tickets , etc . ) , immigration , landlord & tenant disputes , labor law , small claims court ( under $25,000 ) , and specific criminal matters . They are currently not permitted to represent clients in family court or wills and estates . By virtue of their office , licensed paralegals are commissioners for taking affidavits ( swearing oaths ) . In the province of Ontario paralegals are a regulated body within the legal system . Paralegals become commissioners upon licensing , and may become non-lawyer notaries , Crown prosecutor , municipal prosecutor or a justice of the peace if appointed . Ontario recently became the first jurisdiction in North America to provide for the licensing of independent paralegals . This task will be the responsibility of the Law Society of Upper Canada ( founded in 1797 ) , which already regulates Ontario 's 40,000 or so lawyers . Aspiring paralegals must complete an accredited educational program and complete a licensing exam . The Society will also be responsible for disciplining paralegals who do not conform to rules of professional conduct , known as the Paralegal Rules of Conduct . In Ontario , a paralegal is not an officer of the court , because they have not been designated as such by the legislation , even though paralegals in Ontario are licensed and regulated by the Law Society of Upper Canada , the same body which also regulates and provides licenses for all lawyers in Ontario . The Law Society began issuing the first paralegal licenses to grandparent applicants who fulfilled all the necessary licensing requirements ( including insurance ) in April 2008 . Paralegals who provide legal services to the public must carry professional liability insurance in accordance with By - Law 6 , Part II , section 12 ( 1 ) . Licensees must provide written proof of their compliance with this requirement to carry mandatory insurance before they begin providing legal services , as well as on an annual basis . Paralegal services may be provided via a sole proprietorship , partnership or professional corporation . Licensees are strongly encouraged to seek professional advice on the best business structure for their particular situations . A paralegal license allows a paralegal to independently represent clients in provincial offences court , summary conviction criminal court , small claims court and administrative tribunals such as the Financial Services Commission of Ontario or the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board . The role that a paralegal has in the United States is similar to the role of a law clerk or legal assistant in Ontario . Many paralegals in Ontario work in the areas of permitted practice for paralegals and also work alongside lawyers in areas of practice that are only permitted to be practiced by lawyers . It is illegal for paralegals in Ontario to independently practice in an area of law that is permitted only for lawyers . An example of this is family law , or an indictable offence in criminal law . All lawyers and paralegals who practice law and provide legal services in Ontario , are required to complete the CPD program . Continuing professional development ( CPD ) is the maintenance and enhancement of a lawyer or paralegal 's professional knowledge , skills , attitudes and professionalism throughout the individual 's career . It is a positive tool that benefits lawyers and paralegals and is an essential component of the commitment they make to the public to practice law or provide legal services competently and ethically . Japan ( edit ) Main article : Judicial scrivener In Japan , the institution of judicial scrivener ( 司法 書士 , shihō shoshi ) exists , and functions similarly to paralegals . Scriveners perform legal work , above the level of secretary but below the level of attorney , and may be attached to an attorney 's office or operate independently . Scriveners may represent clients in some low - level matters , but not in more advanced stages of litigation . As with lawyers in Japan , scriveners are regulated and must pass an exam . South Africa ( edit ) In South Africa , legal assistants or paralegals must have extensive knowledge of the law and the administration of justice . Their duties may include : liaising with clients of their employers to assist in solving legal problems , legal research , preparing cases for court and liaising with the public . This programme is uniquely designed to impart a comprehensive overview of all aspects of paralegal specialisation and an understanding of individual rights and the rights of others . Paralegal offers the use and application of skills and competencies related to Criminal Law and Procedure , Civil Litigation , Wills and Estates , Dispute Resolution , Lagal Advise , Property Law and Conveyancing as well as Legal Office Practice Management and Debt Collecting / Counselling . Paralegals in South Africa are hired mostly by Legal Aid South Africa , big corporations , Patent law firms , legal firms , Estate agents , Government Departments etc. to provide legal support to those corporate world . Legal support may be by legal research , investigation / inspectors , legal advice or legal assistance . Certification may be acquired at : Tshwane University of Technology National Diploma in Legal Assistance / Paralegal , University Of Johanesburg Diploma in Paralegal , UNISA National Diploma in Law , South African School of Paralegals , Intec College Diploma in Paralegal , South African Law School Qualification in Paralegal , Damelin College Paralegal , Boston City Campus Paralegal certificate . Salaries range from R60 , 000 to R450 , 000 per year depending on experience . Newly established law firms in South Africa are likely to hire qualified Paralegals with 3 year qualification in Legal Studies to provide Legal assistance . Though the South African Law Society and The Minister of Justice do want to come with regulation to guide paralegals in South Africa just like Canada and the USA , many practicing attorneys and Advocates did disprove in many instances however the new legislation is pending . South Korea ( edit ) Main article : Judicial scrivener In South Korea a similar system to the Japanese exists , and is known as beopmusa ( Hangul : 법무사 , Hanja : 法務 士 ) . United Kingdom ( edit ) England and Wales The original concept of paralegals in the UK started with the Paralegal Association in the mid-1980s ( now the National Association of Licensed Paralegals ) . However the oldest incorporated professional body for paralegals in the UK who set the competency standards for paralegals and legal secretaries , issue legal qualifications , and support , represent and promote paralegals is the Institute Of Paralegals . Both the Association and Institute have similar roles in recognising and registering Paralegals but do not always agree on all the principles of practice . However , it is only recently that paralegals have begun to be seen as more than merely assistants to qualified lawyers . They are now a newly emergent , and increasingly distinct , group of legal professionals . Due to a lack of metrics it is unclear exactly how many paralegals there are in the United Kingdom . The Office of National Statistics and the register of Standard Occupational Classification estimate that there are currently 76,000 mid-skilled `` legal associate professionals . '' Research published in 2014 by the Institute for Public Policy Research ( IPPR ) predicts that this figure is set to grow by 17 % within the next decade . Moreover , it is estimated that there are now almost 4,000 government registered / regulated paralegal advisory firms offering services that would previously have been offered only by lawyers . This is because most legal work in the United Kingdom is deregulated and therefore there is nothing to stop anyone from opening their own paralegal law firm . As the term ' paralegal ' is not protected like the term ' solicitor ' anyone may call himself / herself a paralegal without any qualification or registrations . Professional bodies are lobbying for this to change and the term ' paralegal ' to become a protected title . Paralegals in England and Wales may only offer limited legal advice , as may any person , with the following exceptions strictly forbidden : Undertaking the activities reserved to solicitors under the Solicitors Act 1974 ; Undertaking immigration work if not registered with the Office of the Immigrations Services Commissioner ; Undertaking certain types of claims / compensation related work if not registered with the Ministry of Justice . In the United Kingdom , the Solicitors Act 1974 reserves certain activities for solicitors . Broadly , these include : Preparing and lodging documents concerning the conveying or charging of land . Since repealed and now also conducted by Licensed Conveyancers Undertaking probate law . Undertaking litigation ( except in the small claims court ) . Paralegals technically have very limited rights to conduct litigation / rights of audience before courts / tribunals . In practice though many appear in courts and particularly tribunals at all levels as assistants . Paralegals also act as Police Station Representatives if they are accredited , giving general advice to clients held in police custody . Professional societies ( edit ) The largest number of paralegals in the UK are represented by the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives ( CILEx ) . Unlike other paralegal bodies CILEx is an Approved Regulator , meaning all its members are independently regulated in the public interest and must comply with a code of conduct , including all its paralegal members . CILEx is also the only body that provides paralegals with a limited progression route to lawyer status . CILEx provides a non-University route to qualification as a non-qualified lawyer , with the majority of its members learning on - the - job and working as paralegals . It is open to those with or without law degrees , and allows paralegals to progress through to ultimately become fully qualified lawyers , partners , advocates , coroners and judges , subject to achieving the correct level of qualifications , skills , and experience . Since 1994 City and Guilds , in association with CILEx , has offered the UK 's leading range of nationally and internationally approved qualifications for paralegals and legal secretaries , which have been taken by over 20,000 people . They offer a Level 2 Award / Certificate / Diploma in Legal Studies qualification . This provides the underpinning knowledge which will help in day - to - day work and will also allows progression onto the CILEx route to becoming a lawyer . The qualification is divided into units and is assessed by way of assignments and a multiple - choice test . A Level 3 Diploma in Vocational Paralegal Studies qualification is also available , and this is equivalent to A-level standard . The qualification is divided into units and again , is assessed by way of assignments . The qualifications are also recognised by the CILEx as a route into their membership grades . The Institute of Paralegals ( IOP ) administer a Route to Qualification : the nationally recognised career path for professional paralegals . They also set and administer Competency Standards for paralegals and legal secretaries . The Institute of Paralegals ( IOP ) are : an incorporated paralegal representative body in the United Kingdom whose application for institute status was supported by the Bar Council , Law Society , Crown Prosecution Service and Citizens Advice the only body for professional paralegals to have relied on state funding to help develop the paralegal profession an organisation which publishes a Paralegal Code of Conduct a member of LawCare an organisation which publishes Competency Standards for the paralegal profession ( drafted with the assistance of law firms and ( in part ) by Her Majesty 's Land Registry and vetted for professional conduct requirements by the Solicitors Regulation Authority ) an organisation which administers a paralegal career path -- the Route to Qualification . The R2Q turns a job into a career , and an occupation into a profession . It is supported by scores of local law societies , university law schools , law firms and others NALP ( National Association of Licensed Paralegals ) is an awarding body for paralegal qualifications , recognised as an awarding organisation by Ofqual , the regulator of qualifications in England and Wales . NALP offers self - regulation and Licensing for paralegals in England & Wales . NALP 's objective is to raise the profile of paralegals in the UK and has dedicated itself to the promoting the status of paralegals and paralegal training in the United Kingdom and abroad . NALP offers affordable accessible training and qualifications at all levels . NALP is a not for profit company limited by guarantee . There are various levels of certification and membership according to the level of training , qualification and experience . To become a Licensed Paralegal a person should have an acceptable qualification in law , e.g. the Association 's Diploma in Paralegal Studies , ILEX , Law Degree or HND ( plus a procedural law qualification ) or any other qualification deemed suitable , and who can satisfy the other criteria laid down by the Association namely : knowledge , competence , dedication , character requirements and continuous professional development . NALPs mission is to re-enforce and increase its position as the leading professional organisation catering for the career paralegal not only within the legal profession but also within commerce , industry and the private and public sectors and will strive to ensure the proper recognition of its members as an integral part of the legal profession by the quality of its qualifications , professional development and the standards of behaviour and its regulatory powers laid down for its members . It will encourage , promote and develop the role and practice of the paralegal and represent the best interests of its members . The Institute of Paralegals ( IOP ) is an incorporated professional body for paralegals in the UK . A not - for - profit organisation , they set the competency standards for paralegals and legal secretaries , issue legal qualifications , and support , represent and promote paralegals . The National Association of Licensed Paralegals ( NALP ) was established in 1987 and is the professional self - regulatory governing body for accredited paralegals . Access into the profession can either be with a law degree or without . Those who are already graduates can take The Post Graduate Diploma in Paralegal Practice ( PPC ) ( similar to the LPC for solicitors ) . Those that have no previous qualification can do the Diploma in Paralegal Studies . The NALP is an awarding body regulated by OFQUAL and is also a member of the National Federation of Paralegal Associations ( based in the US ) . As a not - for - profit professional body incorporated by guarantee , they were formed in 2003 . They were granted institute status by the UK government in 2005 , with the support of , amongst others , The Law Society of England & Wales , the Bar Council , Citizens Advice and the Crown Prosecution Service , all of whom recognised the need for the developing paralegal profession to have a representative body . IOP offer : The Registered Paralegal , Certified Paralegal and Qualified Paralegal designations and believe these are not a ' licence to practice ' as a paralegal . IOP state : `` There is no such as a ' licensing scheme ' operating in England and Wales . Anyone implying otherwise ( i.e. that you need to do a particular course to qualify ) is misrepresenting the position . You become a paralegal simply by getting a job as a paralegal . The majority of paralegals still do not have any formal legal qualifications . The only paralegals needing prior permission before practising are paralegal law firms or paralegal sole practitioners who come under the remit of the Ministry of Justice Or Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner . '' The National Association of Licensed Paralegals is working to improve recognition for paralegals and has done so for nearly 24 years , having introduced qualifications and standards and self - regulation to the profession and is recognised by The Law Society of England as the professional body for paralegals in England & Wales . Scotland ( edit ) Scotland has separate legal jurisdiction from the rest of the United Kingdom . The term `` paralegal '' came into use from the 1980s . There have always been individuals undertaking legal work but not qualified as a solicitor but they would have had other titles such as ' legal assistant ' . From the early 1990s the term `` paralegal '' became more common . In 1993 Scottish Paralegals Association was founded . It is a voluntary body whose remit is to promote the interests of paralegals in Scotland . From 1991 Scotland 's colleges began to offer paralegal qualifications , awarded by the Scottish Qualification Authority , namely the Higher National Diploma and Certificate in Legal Services . They were offered by Central College of Commerce , Stevenson College and Dundee College . As a result of the efforts of the Scottish Paralegal Association and in particular its president Christine Lambie , in 2010 the Law Society of Scotland , the solicitors ' professional body , instituted the Law Society of Scotland Registered Paralegal scheme . This was a voluntary scheme providing a professional status for high quality paralegals . Around 400 paralegals , mainly individuals who had come through the ranks in legal firms , joined the scheme . From 2010 Scottish Qualification Authority and Stirling University offered qualifications for individuals wishing to enter the Registered Paralegal profession . Paralegals qualify in particular legal domains , e.g. , Domestic Conveyancing ; and Wills & Executries . In 2017 the name of the scheme was changed to Law Society of Scotland Accredited Paralegal scheme . Salary ( edit ) In the United Kingdom paralegal salaries in law firms can range from around £ 15,000 in some rural or suburban areas but may reach as high as £ 60 -- £ 80,000 for the most senior in the larger city firms and some PLCs . A paralegal can also work as a freelance offering their services to solicitors performing tasks such assisting Counsel at court and taking notes in court and presenting applications to District Judges in chambers . They can be paid on a daily or hourly rate earning up to £ 60 -- £ 260 per day . United States ( edit ) In the United States , paralegals originated as assistants to lawyers at a time when only lawyers offered legal services . In those jurisdictions where the local legal profession / judiciary is involved in paralegal recognition / accreditation , the profession of paralegal still basically refers to those people working under the direct supervision of a lawyer . The profession of paralegal varies greatly between the states , because some states do require paralegals to be licensed . In other jurisdictions however , such as the United Kingdom , the lack of local legal profession / judiciary oversight means that the definition of paralegal encompasses non-lawyers doing legal work , regardless of whom they do it for . Although most jurisdictions recognize paralegals to a greater or lesser extent , there is no international consistency as to definition , job - role , status , terms and conditions of employment , training , regulation or anything else and so each jurisdiction must be looked at individually . In the United States , there is no such thing as a paralegal licensed by a government body ; rather , paralegals can be `` registered , '' `` certified , '' or certificated by private organizations . There are two major national organizations that offer professional certification to paralegals who meet voluntary regulation standards : the National Association of Legal Assistants ( NALA ) established in 1976 and the National Federation of Paralegal Associations ( NFPA ) established in 1996 . Both NALA and the NFPA offer professional certification exams that should not be confused with a paralegal certificate offered by an officially accredited college or university . NALA offers its Certified Legal Assistant or Certified Paralegal examination , a comprehensive two - day examination that covers the following subjects : Communications , Ethics , Legal Research , Judgment and Analytical Ability , American Legal System and four sub-sections selected by the applicants from a list of nine substantive areas of the law . These sub-section tests cover general knowledge of the following practice areas : Administrative Law , Bankruptcy , Business Organizations , Civil Litigation , Contracts , Criminal Law and Procedure , Estate , Planning and Probate , Family Law and Real Estate . After successful completion of the examination , NALA awards the paralegal the `` CLA '' ( Certified Legal Assistant ) or `` CP '' ( Certified Paralegal ) designation . Both the `` CLA '' and `` CP '' designations are proprietary trademarks owned by NALA . Paralegals who have attained further education and received a paralegal certificate are referred to as `` Certificated '' unless they have passed the examination and have been awarded the `` Certified '' designation . Additionally , those paralegals who receive the `` Certified Paralegal '' designation then have the opportunity to earn the `` Advanced Certified Paralegal '' designation . There is a 45 to 50 percent pass rate for persons taking the NALA exams . The NFPA offers its non-accredited Paralegal Advanced Competency Exam , which is a four - hour exam on a variety of legal topics ; those who pass that exam can call themselves PACE - Registered Paralegals and display the `` RP '' designation . NFPA 's core purpose is to advance the paralegal profession and is committed to the profession 's Code of Ethics . Some states have considered the licensure of paralegals . Whether paralegals should be licensed or certified is one of the most important issues for paralegals today . Difference between paralegals and lawyers ( edit ) The greatest differences between lawyers and paralegals are that lawyers give legal advice , can set fees , appear as counsel of record in court , and sign pleadings ( and other court documents ) in a representative capacity . A paralegal who attempts to do any of these acts will be in violation of the unauthorized practice of law statutes in most U.S. states . Paralegals are responsible for handling tasks such as legal writing , research , and other forms of documentation for the lawyers for whom they work . Penalties for unauthorized practice ( edit ) Paralegals are restrained from exercising independence and prohibited from providing even basic legal advice to consumers of legal advice . In her book , Access to Justice , Stanford law professor Deborah Rhode states : `` Over four - fifths of surveyed attorneys have supported prosecution of lay practitioners , and the profession has repeatedly blocked licensing proposals that would enable independent paralegals to offer routine services . Many local , state and national bar associations have recently launched initiatives to broaden the definition , raise the penalties , and increase the enforcement of unauthorized practice prohibitions . '' In some areas , legal document assistants actually advertise themselves as paralegals . Many states , including Florida , have enacted laws or bar rules which require any person referring to himself or herself as a paralegal to work under the supervision of a licensed attorney . This rule would prohibit those individuals working as `` independent paralegals '' from using the title `` paralegal '' . Salary ( edit ) In the United States , as of May 2012 , the median annual salary for a paralegal was US $ 46,990 . Paralegals working for the U.S. federal government average around $65,000 per year while state and local government paralegals earn around $45,000 to $50,000 . Paralegal day ( edit ) Several state governments have designated a `` Paralegal Day '' , which is not the same day everywhere . in particular New York 's governor David Paterson , Michigan 's governor Jennifer M. Granholm , South Carolina , Idaho 's governor James E. Risch and the Texas Assembly have designated Paralegal Day in their respective states . California , Connecticut , Ohio , and Utah also have a Paralegal Day . Paralegal service or document preparers ( edit ) There are a variety of services available to the general public depending on the State of residence . These companies have been known as Paralegal Services until they were required to change their names . These companies are now typically known to the general public as Court Document Preparers or Court Forms Providers . The State of Florida has numerous companies that prepare court documents for a variety of issues , such as Divorce , Bankruptcy , Paternity , Custody , Modification of Child Support , Name Change , Wills , Power of Attorney , Quit Claim Deeds , etc . If you do not have the ability to remedy your situation because of the high cost fees of any attorney a Court Document Preparer can save thousands of dollars . Such document preparers , however , frequently come under the scrutiny of various state bar organizations by overstepping the basic document preparation and engaging in what could be considered `` unauthorized practice of law . '' Such document preparation is indeed cost - saving for those who truly want to represent themselves in a legal matter , but want to pay someone to create the required documents . If problems arise in the legal case , however , the person who hired the paralegal service needs to understand that there is typically no legal liability on the part of the paralegal service and that such institutions can not be sued for legal malpractice . Again , the philosophy is that the person utilizing such service is representing himself or herself in all legal matters and merely hiring a document preparer . California ( edit ) In California , under Business and Professions Code § 6450 , a paralegal must have at least one of the following : An ABA approved paralegal certificate . A certificate of completion of a paralegal program at , or a degree from , a postsecondary institution that requires the successful completion of a minimum of 24 semester , or equivalent , units in law - related courses and that has been accredited by a national or regional accrediting organization or approved by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education . A bachelor 's degree or advanced degree in any subject and at least one year of experience performing legal tasks under the supervision of an attorney that has at least three years ' legal experience in California himself . The attorney must sign a written declaration stating the paralegal is qualified to perform legal tasks . Before December 31 , 2003 , have completed a high school diploma or general equivalency diploma and a minimum of three years of law - related experience under the supervision of an attorney that has at least three years ' legal experience in California himself . The attorney must sign a written declaration stating the paralegal is qualified to perform legal tasks . Up until Business and Professions Code § 6450 was signed into law by Governor Gray Davis in 2000 , there was little regulation of paralegals in California . One of the purposes of regulation under Business and Professions Code § 6450 was to shut down the paralegals who were providing self - help legal services to consumers . There had been relatively few consumer complaints against paralegals ; instead most of the complaints were from lawyers who urged the California State Bar to police the unauthorized practice of law ( UPL ) . In response , the State Bar appointed a Public Protection Committee to look at the L.A. bar 's claim . Then , `` in 1988 , the Public Protection Committee unanimously recommended that the California legislature completely abolish the state 's UPL laws . It further concluded that independent paralegals should be allowed to provide all types of legal services as long as they are registered with a state agency and disclose their non-lawyer status to all customers . '' After many local bar associations reacted in dismay , `` The California Bar then appointed a third group ( The Commission on Legal Technicians ) to restudy the issue . This commission largely agreed with the conclusions of its predecessors and recommended that non-lawyers be authorized by the California Supreme Court to deliver legal services in several major areas ( bankruptcy , family , immigration , and landlord - tenant ) , under the terms of a licensing scheme that would be supervised by an independent state agency . '' This development culminated in some paralegals being forced to give up the title paralegal for Legal Document Assistant ( LDA ) in order to administer legal services directly to the public in the allowed areas under California Bus & Prof. Code § 6400 . Paralegals who are members of professional associations are also bound by those associations ' codes of ethics many of which include sections prescribing that members not offer legal services directly to the public without the supervision of an attorney or law firm . Paralegals in popular culture ( edit ) Unlike nurses and physician assistants , paralegals have not caught the popular imagination and rarely are seen or mentioned in fictional or non-fiction legal television programs , or in legal fiction in print . There are however exceptions . The most famous is probably Erin Brockovich , a real legal clerk whose participation in a toxic tort case became a major motion picture . In the movie Eagle Eye ( 2008 ) starring Shia LaBeouf and Michelle Monaghan , Monaghan plays a single mom who works as a paralegal . Another notable exception is the character Della Street , from the Perry Mason novel , television and movie series . Although Mason identifies Della as `` my confidential secretary '' , the projects he assigns her are entirely consistent with the law office work performed by experienced paralegals . Allison DuBois , the lead character in Medium played by Patricia Arquette , was in training to become a paralegal in addition to her consultation work with the Phoenix , Arizona District Attorney 's office . John Grisham includes many paralegals in his novels ; for example , Rudy Baylor ( the main character in The Rainmaker ) works briefly as a paralegal -- and his associate Deck Shifflet subsequently becomes Rudy 's paralegal when he starts his own firm . ( although he terms himself a ' paralawyer ' ) Harvey Birdman : Attorney at Law , an esoteric cartoon comedy , features a paralegal in the form of Avenger , Harvey Birdman 's eagle , who is usually seen managing files , preparing and presenting documents to the attorneys , and drafting letters to clients . Avenger will usually accompany the charismatic , yet often underprepared , Birdman into court , and whisper case information and advice into his ear . Despite not knowing English , he is by far the most competent employee of Sebben & Sebben . FX 's The Riches in which Doug Rich , a con - artist played by Eddie Izzard , impersonates a lawyer at a cutthroat real estate development company . Rich 's apparent lack of legal knowledge is often compensated by Aubrey McDonald , a highly skilled paralegal who manages to help guide the undereducated anti-hero through more than a few sticky situations . USA Network 's `` Suits '' features a young paralegal named Rachel , played by Meghan Markle , who greatly assists a young aspiring lawyer with various research and otherwise . She is a highly respected member of the firm and is considered to be of help to many of her co-workers . Rachel 's desire one day to become a lawyer is one of the major stories of the series . As paralegal , she lives between a lot of appreciation for her hard work and a constant reminder ( going both from herself and other people ) that she 's not a `` real '' lawyer at the end . In Eoin Colfer 's book The Supernaturalists , paralegals are lawyers that double as mercenaries to apprehend and then prosecute offenders for the person , or more common , company who hired them . In the musical Dear Evan Hansen , Evan Hansen 's mother , Heidi , is studying to become a paralegal . A few current and former paralegals have also ventured into politics , including Amanda Reeve ( Arizona State Legislature ) and Michael Strautmanis ( friend of 44th president of The United States Barack Obama and former member of White House Staff ) .

The Magic Flute Singspiel by W.A. Mozart The arrival of the Queen of the Night . Stage set by Karl Friedrich Schinkel for an 1815 production Native title Die Zauberflöte Librettist Emanuel Schikaneder Language German Premiere 30 September 1791 ( 1791 - 09 - 30 ) Theater auf der Wieden , Vienna The Magic Flute ( German : Die Zauberflöte ) , K. 620 , is an opera in two acts by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to a German libretto by Emanuel Schikaneder . The work is in the form of a Singspiel , a popular form that included both singing and spoken dialogue . The work premiered on 30 September 1791 at Schikaneder 's theatre , the Freihaus - Theater auf der Wieden in Vienna , just two months before the composer 's premature death . In the opera the Queen of the Night persuades Prince Tamino to rescue her daughter Pamina from captivity under the high priest Sarastro ; instead , he learns the high ideals of Sarastro 's community and seeks to join it . Separately , then together , Tamino and Pamina undergo severe trials of initiation , which end in triumph , with the Queen and her cohorts vanquished . The earthy Papageno , who accompanies Tamino on his quest , fails the trials completely but is rewarded anyway with the hand of his ideal female companion Papagena .

( September 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Emanuel Schikaneder , librettist of Die Zauberflöte , shown performing in the role of Papageno . The object on his back is a birdcage ; see below . The opera was the culmination of a period of increasing involvement by Mozart with Schikaneder 's theatrical troupe , which since 1789 had been the resident company at the Theater auf der Wieden . Mozart was a close friend of one of the singer - composers of the troupe , tenor Benedikt Schack ( the first Tamino ) , and had contributed to the compositions of the troupe , which were often collaboratively written . Mozart 's participation increased with his contributions to the 1790 collaborative opera Der Stein der Weisen ( The Philosopher 's Stone ) , including the duet ( `` Nun liebes Weibchen '' , K. 625 / 592a ) among other passages . Like The Magic Flute , Der Stein der Weisen was a fairy - tale opera and can be considered a kind of precursor ; it employed much the same cast in similar roles . The libretto for The Magic Flute , written by Schikaneder , is thought by scholars to be based on many sources . Some works of literature current in Vienna in Schikaneder 's day that may have served as sources include the medieval romance Yvain by Chrétien de Troyes , the novel Sethos by Jean Terrasson , and the essay `` On the mysteries of the Egyptians '' by Ignaz von Born . The libretto is also a natural continuation of a series of fairy tale operas produced at the time by Schikaneder 's troupe , including an adaptation of Sophie Seyler 's Singspiel Oberon as well as Der Stein der Weisen . Especially for the role of Papageno , the libretto draws on the Hanswurst tradition of the Viennese popular theatre . Many scholars also acknowledge an influence of Freemasonry . For detailed discussion of sources see Branscombe ( 1991 ) , as well as Libretto of The Magic Flute . In composing the opera , Mozart evidently kept in mind the skills of the singers intended for the premiere , which included both virtuosi and ordinary comic actors asked to sing for the occasion . Thus , the vocal lines for Papageno -- sung by Schikaneder himself -- and Monostatos ( Johann Joseph Nouseul ) are often stated first in the strings so the singer can find his pitch , and are frequently doubled by instruments . In contrast , Mozart 's sister - in - law Josepha Hofer , who premiered the role of the Queen of the Night , evidently needed little such help : this role is famous for its difficulty . In ensembles , Mozart skillfully combined voices of different ability levels . The vocal ranges of two of the original singers for whom Mozart tailored his music have posed challenges for many singers who have since recreated their roles . Both arias of the Queen of the Night , `` O zittre nicht , mein lieber Sohn '' and `` Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen '' require high F , rare in opera . At the low end , the part of Sarastro , premiered by Franz Xaver Gerl , includes a conspicuous F in a few locations . Premiere and reception ( edit ) The opera was premiered in Vienna on 30 September 1791 at the suburban Freihaus - Theater auf der Wieden . Mozart conducted the orchestra , Schikaneder himself played Papageno , while the role of the Queen of the Night was sung by Mozart 's sister - in - law Josepha Hofer . On the reception of the opera , Mozart scholar Maynard Solomon writes : Although there were no reviews of the first performances , it was immediately evident that Mozart and Schikaneder had achieved a great success , the opera drawing immense crowds and reaching hundreds of performances during the 1790s . As Mozart 's letters show , he was very pleased to have achieved such a success . Solomon continues : Mozart 's delight is reflected in his last three letters , written to Constanze , who with her sister Sophie was spending the second week of October in Baden . `` I have this moment returned from the opera , which was as full as ever '' , he wrote on 7 October , listing the numbers that had to be encored . `` But what always gives me the most pleasure is the silent approval ! You can see how this opera is becoming more and more esteemed . '' ... He went to hear his opera almost every night , taking along ( friends and ) relatives . The opera celebrated its 100th performance in November 1792 , though Mozart did not have the pleasure of witnessing this milestone , as he had died 5 December 1791 . The opera was first performed outside Vienna ( 21 September 1792 ) in Lemberg , then in Prague . It then made ( Branscombe ) `` triumphal progress through Germany 's opera houses great and small '' , and with the early 19th century spread to essentially all the countries of Europe -- and eventually , everywhere in the world -- where opera is cultivated . As Branscombe documents , the earlier performances were often of highly altered , sometimes even mutilated , versions of the opera ( see Ludwig Wenzel Lachnith ) . Productions of the past century have tended to be more faithful to Mozart 's music , though faithful rendering of Mozart and Schikaneder 's original ( quite explicit ) stage directions and dramatic vision continues to be rare ; with isolated exceptions , modern productions strongly reflect the creative preferences of the stage director . The Magic Flute is presently among the most frequently performed of all operas ; statistics collected for the 2015 - 2016 season indicate over 500 productions worldwide , totaling more than 3000 performances . First publication ( edit ) On 28 December 1791 , three and a half weeks after Mozart 's death , his widow Constanze offered to send a manuscript score of The Magic Flute to the electoral court in Bonn . Nikolaus Simrock published this text in the first full - score edition ( Bonn , 1814 ) , claiming that it was `` in accordance with Mozart 's own wishes '' ( Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung , 13 September 1815 ) . Themes ( edit ) Main article : Libretto of The Magic Flute See also : Mozart and Freemasonry The Magic Flute is noted for its prominent Masonic elements , although some scholars hold that the Masonic influence is exaggerated . Schikaneder and Mozart were Freemasons , as was Ignaz Alberti , engraver and printer of the first libretto . The opera is also influenced by Enlightenment philosophy , and can be regarded as an allegory advocating enlightened absolutism . The Queen of the Night represents a dangerous form of obscurantism or , according to some , the anti-Masonic Roman Catholic Empress Maria Theresa , or , according to others , the contemporary Roman Catholic Church itself , which was also strongly anti-Masonic . Her antagonist Sarastro symbolises the enlightened sovereign who rules according to principles based on reason , wisdom , and nature . The story itself portrays the education of mankind , progressing from chaos ( the serpent ) through religious superstition ( the Queen and Ladies ) to rationalistic enlightenment ( Sarastro and Priests ) , by means of trial ( Tamino ) and error ( Papageno ) , ultimately to make `` the Earth a heavenly kingdom , and mortals like the gods '' ( `` Dann ist die Erd ' ein Himmelreich , und Sterbliche den Göttern gleich '' ) ; this couplet is sung in the finales to both acts . Modern audiences often find the prominent strains of misogyny and the casual racism in The Magic Flute problematic . Sarastro describes the Queen of the Night as usurping the rightful power of men ( `` ( She is ) a proud woman ! A man must guide your hearts , for without him all women tend to step outside their own sphere of activity '' ) , and her supposed ' feminine ' vindictive hysteria serves as a foil for Sarastro 's ' masculine ' dignified reason . The perfidious villain Monostatos , meanwhile , is written as a Moor ( African ) . Roles ( edit ) Playbill for the premiere , 30 September 1791 . Role Voice type Premiere cast , 30 September 1791 ( conductor : Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart ) Tamino tenor Benedikt Schack Papageno baritone Emanuel Schikaneder Pamina soprano Anna Gottlieb The Queen of the Night soprano Josepha Hofer Sarastro bass Franz Xaver Gerl Three ladies 3 sopranos M Klöpfer , M Hofmann , Elisabeth Schack Monostatos tenor Johann Joseph Nouseul Three child - spirits treble , alto , mezzo - soprano Anna Schikaneder ; Anselm Handelgruber ; Franz Anton Maurer Speaker of the temple bass - baritone Herr Winter Three priests bass , tenor , speaking role Johann Michael Kistler , Urban Schikaneder Papagena soprano Barbara Gerl Two armoured men tenor , bass Johann Michael Kistler , Herr Moll Three slaves 2 tenors , bass Karl Ludwig Giesecke , Herr Frasel , Herr Starke Priests , women , people , slaves , chorus The names of the performers at the premiere are taken from a preserved playbill for this performance ( at right ) , which does not give full names ; `` Hr . '' = Herr , Mr. ; `` Mme . '' = Madame , Mrs. ; `` Mlle . '' = Mademoiselle , Miss . While the female roles in the opera are assigned to different voice types , the playbill for the premiere performance referred to all of the female singers as `` sopranos '' . The casting of the roles relies on the actual vocal range of the part . Instrumentation ( edit ) The work is scored for two flutes ( one doubling on piccolo ) , two oboes , two clarinets ( doubling basset horns ) , two bassoons , two horns , two trumpets , three trombones ( alto , tenor , and bass ) , timpani and strings . It also requires a four - part chorus for several numbers ( notably the finales of each act ) . Mozart also called for a stromento d'acciaio ( instrument of steel ) to perform Papageno 's magic bells ; an instrument which has since been lost to history , though modern day scholars believe it to be a keyed glockenspiel , which is usually substituted with a celesta in modern - day performances . Charles Rosen has remarked on the character of Mozart 's orchestration : Die Zauberflöte has the greatest variety of orchestral color that the eighteenth century was to know ; the very lavishness , however , is paradoxically also an economy as each effect is a concentrated one , each one -- Papageno 's whistle , the Queen of the Night 's coloratura , the bells , Sarastro 's trombones , even the farewell in Scene I for clarinets and pizzicato strings -- a single dramatic stroke . '' Synopsis ( edit ) Overture Performed by Musopen Symphony Orchestra ( 6 : 39 ) Problems playing this file ? See media help . The opera begins with the overture , which Mozart composed last . Act 1 ( edit ) Scene 1 : A rough , rocky landscape Tamino , a handsome prince lost in a distant land , is pursued by a serpent and asks the gods to save him ( aria : `` Zu Hilfe ! Zu Hilfe ! '' segued into trio : `` Stirb , Ungeheuer , durch uns 're Macht ! '' ) . He faints , and three ladies , attendants of the Queen of the Night , appear and kill the serpent . They find the unconscious prince extremely attractive , and each of them tries to convince the other two to leave . After arguing , they reluctantly decide to leave together . Baritone Markus Werba appearing as Papageno . He wears his pipes and carries his magic bells ; both instruments are essential to the plot . Tamino wakes up , and is surprised to find himself still alive . Papageno enters dressed as a bird . He describes his life as a bird - catcher , complaining he has no wife or girlfriend ( aria : `` Der Vogelfänger bin ich ja '' ) . Tamino introduces himself to Papageno , thinking Papageno killed the serpent . Papageno happily takes the credit -- claiming he strangled it with his bare hands . The three ladies suddenly reappear and instead of giving him wine , cake and figs , they give him water , a stone and place a padlock over his mouth as a warning not to lie . They give Tamino a portrait of the Queen of the Night 's daughter Pamina , with whom Tamino falls instantly in love ( aria : `` Dies Bildnis ist bezaubernd schön '' / This image is enchantingly beautiful ) . The ladies return and tell Tamino that Pamina has been captured by Sarastro , a supposedly evil sorcerer . Tamino vows to rescue Pamina . The Queen of the Night appears and promises Tamino that Pamina will be his if he rescues her from Sarastro ( Recitative and aria : `` O zittre nicht , mein lieber Sohn '' / Oh , tremble not , my dear son ! ) . The Queen leaves and the ladies remove the padlock from Papageno 's mouth with a warning not to lie any more . They give Tamino a magic flute which has the power to change sorrow into joy . They tell Papageno to go with Tamino , and give him ( Papageno ) magic bells for protection . The ladies introduce three child - spirits , who will guide Tamino and Papageno to Sarastro 's temple . Together Tamino and Papageno set forth ( Quintet : `` Hm ! Hm ! Hm ! Hm ! '' ) . Scene 2 : A room in Sarastro 's palace Pamina is dragged in by Sarastro 's slaves , apparently having tried to escape . Monostatos , a blackamoor and chief of the slaves , orders the slaves to chain her and leave him alone with her . Papageno , sent ahead by Tamino to help find Pamina , enters ( Trio : `` Du feines Täubchen , nur herein ! '' ) . Monostatos and Papageno are each terrified by the other 's strange appearance and both flee . Papageno returns and announces to Pamina that her mother has sent Tamino to save her . Pamina rejoices to hear that Tamino is in love with her . She offers sympathy and hope to Papageno , who longs for a wife . Together they reflect on the joys and sacred duties of marital love ( duet : `` Bei Männern welche Liebe fühlen '' ) . Finale . Scene 3 : A grove in front of a temple The arrival of Sarastro on a chariot pulled by lions , from a 1793 production in Brno . Pamina appears at left , Papageno at right . In the background are the temples of Wisdom , Reason , and Nature . The three child - spirits lead Tamino to Sarastro 's temple , promising that if he remains patient , wise and steadfast , he will succeed in rescuing Pamina ( Quartet : `` Zum Ziele führt dich diese Bahn '' ) . Tamino approaches the left - hand entrance and is denied access by voices from within . The same happens when he goes to the entrance on the right . But from the entrance in the middle , an old priest appears and lets Tamino in . ( The old priest is referred to as `` The Speaker '' in the libretto , but his role is a singing role . ) He tells Tamino that Sarastro is benevolent , not evil , and that he should not trust the Queen of the Night . He promises that Tamino 's confusion will be lifted when Tamino approaches the temple as a friend . Tamino plays his magic flute . Animals appear and dance , enraptured , to his music . Tamino hears Papageno 's pipes sounding offstage , and hurries off to find him ( aria : `` Wie stark ist nicht dein Zauberton '' ) . Papageno and Pamina enter , searching for Tamino ( trio : `` Schnelle Füße , rascher Mut '' ) . They are recaptured by Monostatos and his slaves . Papageno plays his magic bells , and Monostatos and his slaves begin to dance , and exit the stage , still dancing , mesmerised by the beauty of the music ( chorus : `` Das klinget so herrlich '' ) . Papageno and Pamina hear the sound of Sarastro 's retinue approaching . Papageno is frightened and asks Pamina what they should say . She answers that they must tell the truth . Sarastro enters , with a crowd of followers . ( chorus : `` Es lebe Sarastro ! '' ) Pamina falls at Sarastro 's feet and confesses that she tried to escape because Monostatos had forced his attentions on her . Sarastro receives her kindly and assures her that he wishes only for her happiness . But he refuses to return her to her mother , whom he describes as a proud , headstrong woman , and a bad influence on those around her . Pamina , he says , must be guided by a man . Monostatos brings in Tamino . The two lovers see one another for the first time and embrace , causing indignation among Sarastro 's followers . Monostatos tells Sarastro that he caught Papageno and Pamina trying to escape , and demands a reward . Sarastro , however , punishes Monostatos for his lustful behaviour toward Pamina , and sends him away . He announces that Tamino must undergo trials of wisdom in order to become worthy as Pamina 's husband . The priests declare that virtue and righteousness will sanctify life and make mortals like gods ( `` Wenn Tugend und Gerechtigkeit '' ) . Act 2 ( edit ) Scene 1 : A grove of palms The council of priests of Isis and Osiris , headed by Sarastro , enters to the sound of a solemn march . Sarastro tells the priests that Tamino is ready to undergo the ordeals that will lead to enlightenment . He invokes the gods Isis and Osiris , asking them to protect Tamino and Pamina ( Aria and chorus : `` O Isis und Osiris '' ) . Scene 2 : The courtyard of the Temple of Ordeal Tamino and Papageno are led in by two priests for the first trial . The two priests advise Tamino and Papageno of the dangers ahead of them , warn them of women 's wiles and swear them to silence ( Duet : `` Bewahret euch von Weibertücken '' ) . The three ladies appear and try to frighten Tamino and Papageno into speaking . ( Quintet : `` Wie , wie , wie '' ) Papageno can not resist answering the ladies , but Tamino remains aloof , angrily instructing Papageno not to listen to the ladies ' threats and to keep quiet . Seeing that Tamino will not speak to them , the ladies withdraw in confusion . Scene 3 : A garden Pamina is asleep . Monostatos approaches and gazes upon her with rapture . ( Aria : `` Alles fühlt der Liebe Freuden '' ) He is about to kiss the sleeping Pamina , when the Queen of the Night appears . Monostatos hides . In response to the Queen 's questioning , Pamina explains that he is joining Sarastro 's brotherhood and she is thinking of accompanying him too . The Queen is not pleased . She explains that her husband was the previous owner of the temple and on his deathbed , he gives the ownership to Sarastro instead of her , rendering the Queen powerless ( This is in the original libretto , but in modern productions , it is usually omitted , making the scene with Pamina and her mother shorter ) . She gives Pamina a dagger , ordering her to kill Sarastro with it and threatening to disown her if she does not . ( Aria : `` Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen '' ) . She leaves . Monostatos returns and tries to force Pamina 's love by threatening to reveal the Queen 's plot , but Sarastro enters and drives him off . Pamina begs Sarastro to forgive her mother and he reassures her that revenge and cruelty have no place in his domain ( Aria : `` In diesen heil'gen Hallen '' ) . Scene 4 : A hall in the Temple of Ordeal Tamino and Papageno are led in by priests , who remind them that they must remain silent . Papageno complains of thirst . An old woman enters and offers Papageno a cup of water . He drinks and teasingly asks whether she has a boyfriend . She replies that she does and that his name is Papageno . She disappears as Papageno asks for her name , and the three child - spirits bring in food , the magic flute , and the bells , sent from Sarastro ( Trio : `` Seid uns zum zweiten Mal willkommen '' ) . Tamino begins to play the flute , which summons Pamina . She tries to speak with him , but Tamino , bound by his vow of silence , can not answer her , and Pamina begins to believe that he no longer loves her . ( Aria : `` Ach , ich fühl 's , es ist verschwunden '' ) She leaves in despair . Scene 5 : The pyramids The priests celebrate Tamino 's successes so far , and pray that he will succeed and become worthy of their order ( Chorus : `` O Isis und Osiris '' ) . Pamina is brought in and Sarastro instructs Pamina and Tamino to bid each other farewell before the greater trials ahead , alarming them by describing it as their `` final farewell . '' ( Trio : Sarastro , Pamina , Tamino -- `` Soll ich dich , Teurer , nicht mehr sehn ? '' Note : In order to preserve the continuity of Pamina 's suicidal feelings , this trio is sometimes performed earlier in act 2 , preceding or immediately following Sarastro 's aria `` O Isis und Osiris '' . ) They exit and Papageno enters . The priests grant his request for a glass of wine and he expresses his desire for a wife . ( Aria : `` Ein Mädchen oder Weibchen '' ) . The elderly woman reappears and warns him that unless he immediately promises to marry her , he will be imprisoned forever . When Papageno promises to love her faithfully ( muttering that he will only do this until something better comes along ) , she is transformed into the young and pretty Papagena . Papageno rushes to embrace her , but the priests drive him back , telling him that he is not yet worthy of her . Finale . Scene 6 : A garden Tamino and Pamina undergo their final trial ; watercolor by Max Slevogt ( 1868 -- 1932 ) The three child - spirits hail the dawn . They observe Pamina , who is contemplating suicide because she believes Tamino has abandoned her . The child - spirits restrain her and reassure her of Tamino 's love . ( Quartet : `` Bald prangt , den Morgen zu verkünden '' ) . Scene change without interrupting the music , to Scene 7 : Outside the Temple of Ordeal Two men in armor lead in Tamino . They recite one of the formal creeds of Isis and Osiris , promising enlightenment to those who successfully overcome the fear of death ( `` Der , welcher wandert diese Strasse voll Beschwerden '' ) . This recitation takes the musical form of a Baroque chorale prelude , to the tune of Martin Luther 's hymn `` Ach Gott , vom Himmel sieh darein '' ( Oh God , look down from heaven ) . Tamino declares that he is ready to be tested . Pamina calls to him from offstage . The men in armour assure him that the trial by silence is over and he is free to speak with her . Pamina enters and declares her intention to undergo the remaining trials with him . She hands him the magic flute to help them through the trials ( `` Tamino mein , o welch ein Glück ! '' ) . Protected by the music of the magic flute , they pass unscathed through chambers of fire and water . Offstage , the priests hail their triumph and invite the couple to enter the temple . Scene change without interrupting the music , to Scene 8 : A garden with a tree Papageno and Papagena . From a production at Texas A&M University - Commerce . Papageno despairs at having lost Papagena and decides to hang himself ( Aria / Quartet : `` Papagena ! Papagena ! Papagena ! Weibchen , Täubchen , meine Schöne '' ) The three child - spirits appear and stop him . They advise him to play his magic bells to summon Papagena . She appears and , united , the happy couple stutter in astonishment and make bird - like courting sounds at each other . They plan their future and dream of the many children they will have together ( Duet : `` Pa ... pa ... pa ... '' ) . Scene change without interrupting the music , to Scene 9 : A rocky landscape outside the temple ; night The traitorous Monostatos appears with the Queen of the Night and her three ladies . They plot to destroy the temple ( `` Nur stille , stille '' ) and the Queen confirms that she has promised her daughter Pamina to Monostatos . But before the conspirators can enter the temple , they are magically cast out into eternal night . Scene change without interrupting the music , to Scene 10 : The Temple of the Sun Sarastro announces the sun 's triumph over the night , and hails the dawn of a new era of wisdom and brotherhood .

The first recording of The Magic Flute was of a live performance at the 1937 Salzburg Festival , with Arturo Toscanini conducting the Vienna Philharmonic and Vienna State Opera . The first studio recording of the work , with Sir Thomas Beecham conducting the Berlin Philharmonic , was completed in 1938 . Both of these historic recordings have been reissued on modern recording media . Since then there have been many recordings , in both audio and video formats . Works inspired by the Magic Flute ( edit ) The opera has inspired a great number of sequels , adaptations , novels , films , and other works of art . For a listing , see Works inspired by The Magic Flute . See also ( edit ) Opera portal List of operas by Mozart Notes ( edit ) Jump up ^ The genre of the work is hard to specify . The programme at the premiere performance announced it as `` Eine grosse oper '' ( A grand opera ) . Mozart entered the work in his personal catalog as a `` German opera '' , and the first printed libretto called it a Singspiel . Jump up ^ This is known from testimony by Ignaz von Seyfried ( 1776 -- 1841 ) , a composer who later ( 1798 ) became the musical director at the same theatre . According to Seyfried 's memories ( which he published in the Neue Zeitschrift für Musik , vol. 12 , 5 June 1840 , p. 184 ) , `` ( Mozart ) personally directed the premiere there on 30 September 1791 , at which Süßmayr , the faithful Pylades , sat to his right , diligently turning the pages of the score . '' The description implies that Mozart was seated at a keyboard instrument , playing along with the orchestra , rather than standing on a podium with a baton ; this was fairly standard practice for conductors in Mozart 's time .

"The Magic Flute (German: Die Zauberflöte), K. 620, is an opera in two acts by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to a German libretto by Emanuel Schikaneder. The work is in the form of a Singspiel, a popular form that included both singing and spoken dialogue.[a] The work premiered on 30 September 1791 at Schikaneder's theatre, the Freihaus-Theater auf der Wieden in Vienna, just two months before the composer's premature death."

Venerated in Roman Catholic Church Some Oriental Orthodox Churches Anglican Communion Feast December 8 Attributes crescent moon , halo of twelve stars , blue robe , putti , serpent underfoot , Assumption into heaven Patronage Brazil Korea Macau Nicaragua Paraguay Philippines Portugal Spain United States Uruguay The Immaculate Conception is the conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary free from original sin by virtue of the merits of her son Jesus Christ . The Catholic Church teaches that God acted upon Mary in the first moment of her conception keeping her `` immaculate '' . The Immaculate Conception is commonly confused with the Virgin Birth of Jesus . Jesus ' birth is covered by the Doctrine of Incarnation , while the Immaculate Conception deals with the conception of Mary , not that of her son . Although the belief that Mary was sinless , or conceived without original sin , has been widely held since Late Antiquity , the doctrine was not dogmatically defined until 1854 , by Pope Pius IX in his papal bull Ineffabilis Deus . The Catholic Church celebrates the Feast of the Immaculate Conception on December 8 ; in many Catholic countries , it is a holy day of obligation or patronal feast , and in some a national public holiday .

The proclaimed Roman Catholic dogma states , `` that the most Blessed Virgin Mary , in the first instance of her conception , by a singular grace and privilege granted by Almighty God , in view of the merits of Jesus Christ , the Saviour of the human race , was preserved free from all stain of original sin . '' Therefore , being always free from original sin , the doctrine teaches that from her conception Mary received the sanctifying grace that would normally come with baptism after birth . The definition makes no declaration about the Church 's belief that the Blessed Virgin was sinless in the sense of freedom from actual or personal sin . However , the Church holds that Mary was also sinless personally , `` free from all sin , original or personal '' . The Council of Trent decreed : `` If anyone shall say that a man once justified can sin no more , nor lose grace , and that therefore he who falls and sins was never truly justified ; or , on the contrary , that throughout his whole life he can avoid all sins even venial sins , except by a special privilege of God , as the Church holds in regard to the Blessed Virgin : let him be anathema .

This misunderstanding of the term immaculate conception is frequently met in the mass media . Catholics believe that Mary was conceived of both parents traditionally known by the names of Saint Joachim and Saint Anne . In 1677 , the Holy See condemned the error of Imperiali who taught that St. Anne in the conception and birth of Mary remained virgin which had been a belief surfacing occasionally since the 4th century . The Church celebrates the Feast of the Immaculate Conception ( when Mary was conceived free from original sin ) on 8 December , exactly nine months before celebrating the Nativity of Mary . The feast of the Annunciation ( which commemorates the virginal conception and the Incarnation of Jesus ) is celebrated on 25 March , nine months before Christmas Day . Redemption ( edit ) Another misunderstanding is that , by her immaculate conception , Mary did not need a saviour . When defining the dogma in Ineffabilis Deus , Pope Pius IX explicitly affirmed that Mary was redeemed in a manner more sublime . He stated that Mary , rather than being cleansed after sin , was completely prevented from contracting Original Sin in view of the foreseen merits of Jesus Christ , the Savior of the human race . In Luke 1 : 47 , Mary proclaims : `` My spirit has rejoiced in God my Saviour . '' This is referred to as Mary 's pre-redemption by Christ . Since the Second Council of Orange against semi-pelagianism , the Catholic Church has taught that even had man never sinned in the Garden of Eden and was sinless , he would still require God 's grace to remain sinless . History ( edit ) A feast of the Conception of the Most Holy and All Pure Mother of God was celebrated in Syria on 8 December perhaps as early as the 5th century . Note that the title of achrantos ( spotless , immaculate , all - pure ) refers to the holiness of Mary , not specifically to the holiness of her conception . An 11th - century Eastern Orthodox icon of the Theotokos Panachranta , i.e. the `` all immaculate '' Mary Mary 's complete sinlessness and concomitant exemption from any taint from the first moment of her existence was a doctrine familiar to Greek theologians of Byzantium . Beginning with St. Gregory Nazianzen , his explanation of the `` purification '' of Jesus and Mary at the circumcision ( Luke 2 : 22 ) prompted him to consider the primary meaning of `` purification '' in Christology ( and by extension in Mariology ) to refer to a perfectly sinless nature that manifested itself in glory in a moment of grace ( e.g. , Jesus at his Baptism ) . St. Gregory Nazianzen designated Mary as `` prokathartheisa ( prepurified ) . '' Gregory likely attempted to solve the riddle of the Purification of Jesus and Mary in the Temple through considering the human natures of Jesus and Mary as equally holy and therefore both purified in this manner of grace and glory . Gregory 's doctrines surrounding Mary 's purification were likely related to the burgeoning commemoration of the Mother of God in and around Constantinople very close to the date of Christmas . Nazianzen 's title of Mary at the Annunciation as `` prepurified '' was subsequently adopted by all theologians interested in his Mariology to justify the Byzantine equivalent of the Immaculate Conception . This is especially apparent in the Fathers St. Sophronios of Jerusalem and St. John Damascene , who will be treated below in this article at the section on Church Fathers . About the time of Damascene , the public celebration of the `` Conception of St. Ann ( i.e. , of the Theotokos in her womb ) '' was becoming popular . After this period , the `` purification '' of the perfect natures of Jesus and Mary would not only mean moments of grace and glory at the Incarnation and Baptism and other public Byzantine liturgical feasts , but purification was eventually associated with the feast of Mary 's very conception ( along with her Presentation in the Temple as a toddler ) by Orthodox authors of the 2nd millennium ( e.g. , St. Nicholas Cabasilas and Joseph Bryennius ) . Church Fathers ( edit ) It is admitted that the doctrine as defined by Pius IX was not explicitly mooted before the 12th century . It is also agreed that `` no direct or categorical and stringent proof of the dogma can be brought forward from Scripture '' . But it is claimed that the doctrine is implicitly contained in the teaching of the Fathers . Their expressions on the subject of the sinlessness of Mary are , it is pointed out , so ample and so absolute that they must be taken to include original sin as well as actual . Thus in the first five centuries such epithets as `` in every respect holy '' , `` in all things unstained '' , `` super-innocent '' , and `` singularly holy '' are applied to her ; she is compared to Eve before the fall , as ancestress of a redeemed people ; she is `` the earth before it was accursed '' . The well - known words of St. Augustine ( d . 430 ) may be cited : `` As regards the mother of God , '' he says , `` I will not allow any question whatever of sin . '' It is true that he is here speaking directly of actual or personal sin . But his argument is that all men are sinners ; that they are so through original depravity ; that this original depravity may be overcome by the grace of God , and he adds that he does not know but that Mary may have had sufficient grace to overcome sin `` of every sort '' ( omni ex parte ) . Although the doctrine of Mary 's Immaculate Conception appears only later among Latin ( and particularly Frankish ) theologians , it became ever more manifest among Byzantine theologians reliant on Gregory Nazianzen 's Mariology in the Medieval or Byzantine East . Although hymnographers and scholars , like the Emperor Justinian I , were accustomed to call Mary `` prepurified '' in their poetic and credal statements , the first point of departure for more fully commenting on Nazianzen 's meaning occurs in Sophronius of Jerusalem . In other places Sophronius explains that the Theotokos was already immaculate , when she was `` purified '' at the Annunciation and goes so far as to note that John the Baptist is literally `` holier than all ' Men ' born of woman '' since Mary 's surpassing holiness signifies that she was holier than even John after his sanctification in utero . Sophronius ' teaching is augmented and incorporated by St. John Damascene ( d . 749 / 750 ) . John , besides many passages wherein he extolls the Theotokos for her purification at the Annunciation , grants her the unique honor of `` purifying the waters of baptism by touching them . '' This honor was most famously and firstly attributed to Christ , especially in the legacy of Nazianzen . As such , Nazianzen 's assertion of parallel holiness between the prepurified Mary and purified Jesus of the New Testament is made even more explicit in Damascene in his discourse on Mary 's holiness to also imitate Christ 's baptism at the Jordan . The Damascene 's hymnongraphy and De fide Orthodoxa explicitly use Mary 's `` pre purification '' as a key to understanding her absolute holiness and unsullied human nature . In fact , Damascene ( along with Nazianzen ) serves as the source for nearly all subsequent promotion of Mary 's complete holiness from her Conception by the `` all pure seed '' of Joachim and the womb `` wider than heaven '' of St. Ann .

A feast of the Conception of the Blessed Virgin had already begun to be celebrated in some churches of the West . St Bernard blames the canons of the metropolitan church of Lyon for instituting such a festival without the permission of the Holy See . In doing so , he takes occasion to repudiate altogether the view that the conception of Mary was sinless . It is doubtful , however , whether he was using the term `` conception '' in the same sense in which it is used in the definition of Pope Pius IX . Bernard would seem to have been speaking of conception in the active sense of the mother 's cooperation , for in his argument he says : `` How can there be absence of sin where there is concupiscence ( libido ) ? '' and stronger expressions follow , showing that he is speaking of the mother and not of the child . Saint Thomas Aquinas refused to concede the Immaculate Conception , on the ground that , unless the Blessed Virgin had at one time or other been one of the sinful , she could not justly be said to have been redeemed by Christ . Saint Bonaventure ( d . 1274 ) , second only to Saint Thomas in his influence on the Christian schools of his age , hesitated to accept it for a similar reason . He believed that Mary was completely free from sin , but that she was not given this grace at the instant of her conception . The celebrated John Duns Scotus ( d . 1308 ) , a Friar Minor like Saint Bonaventure , argued , on the contrary , that from a rational point of view it was certainly as little derogatory to the merits of Christ to assert that Mary was by him preserved from all taint of sin , as to say that she first contracted it and then was delivered . Proposing a solution to the theological problem of reconciling the doctrine with that of universal redemption in Christ , he argued that Mary 's immaculate conception did not remove her from redemption by Christ ; rather it was the result of a more perfect redemption granted her because of her special role in salvation history . The arguments of Scotus , combined with a better acquaintance with the language of the early Fathers , gradually prevailed in the schools of the Western Church . In 1387 the university of Paris strongly condemned the opposite view . Scotus 's arguments remained controversial , however , particularly among the Dominicans , who were willing enough to celebrate Mary 's sanctificatio ( being made free from sin ) but , following the Dominican Thomas Aquinas ' arguments , continued to insist that her sanctification could not have occurred until after her conception . Popular opinion remained firmly behind the celebration of Mary 's conception . In 1439 , the Council of Basel , which is not reckoned an ecumenical council , stated that belief in the immaculate conception of Mary is in accord with the Catholic faith . By the end of the 15th century the belief was widely professed and taught in many theological faculties , but such was the influence of the Dominicans , and the weight of the arguments of Thomas Aquinas ( who had been canonised in 1323 and declared `` Doctor Angelicus '' of the Church in 1567 ) that the Council of Trent ( 1545 -- 63 ) -- which might have been expected to affirm the doctrine -- instead declined to take a position . The papal bull defining the dogma , Ineffabilis Deus ( 1854 ) , mentioned in particular the patrististic interpretation of Genesis 3 : 15 as referring to a woman , Mary , who would be eternally at enmity with the evil serpent and completely triumphing over him . It said the Fathers saw foreshadowings of Mary 's `` wondrous abundance of divine gifts and original innocence '' `` in that ark of Noah , which was built by divine command and escaped entirely safe and sound from the common shipwreck of the whole world ; in the ladder which Jacob saw reaching from the earth to heaven , by whose rungs the angels of God ascended and descended , and on whose top the Lord himself leaned ; in that bush which Moses saw in the holy place burning on all sides , which was not consumed or injured in any way but grew green and blossomed beautifully ; in that impregnable tower before the enemy , from which hung a thousand bucklers and all the armor of the strong ; in that garden enclosed on all sides , which can not be violated or corrupted by any deceitful plots ; in that resplendent city of God , which has its foundations on the holy mountains ; in that most august temple of God , which , radiant with divine splendours , is full of the glory of God ; and in very many other biblical types of this kind . '' The bull recounts that the Fathers interpreted the angel 's address to Mary , `` highly favoured one '' or `` full of grace '' , as indicating that `` she was never subject to the curse and was , together with her Son , the only partaker of perpetual benediction '' ; they `` frequently compare her to Eve while yet a virgin , while yet innocence , while yet incorrupt , while not yet deceived by the deadly snares of the most treacherous serpent '' . Definition of the dogma ( edit ) Altar of the Immaculata by Joseph Lusenberg , 1876 . Saint Antony 's Church , Urtijëi , Italy . The theological underpinnings of Immaculate Conception had been the subject of debate during the Middle Ages with opposition provided by figures such as Saint Thomas Aquinas , a Dominican . However , supportive arguments by Franciscans William of Ware and Duns Scotus , and general belief among Catholics made the doctrine more acceptable , so that the Council of Basel supported it in the 15th century , but the Council of Trent sidestepped the question . Pope Sixtus IV , a Franciscan , had tried to pacify the situation by forbidding either side from criticizing each other , and placed the feast of the Immaculate Conception on the Roman Calendar in 1477 , but Pope Pius V , a Dominican , changed it to the feast of the Conception of Mary . Clement XI made the feast universal in 1708 , but still did not call it the feast of the Immaculate Conception . Popular and theological support for the concept continued to grow and by the 18th century it was widely depicted in art . During the reign of Pope Gregory XVI the bishops in various countries began to press for a definition as dogma of the teaching of Mary 's immaculate conception . In 1839 Mariano Spada ( 1796 - 1872 ) , professor of theology at the Roman College of Saint Thomas , published Esame Critico sulla dottrina dell ' Angelico Dottore S. Tommaso di Aquino circa il Peccato originale , relativamente alla Beatissima Vergine Maria ( A critical examination of the doctrine of St. Thomas Aquinas , the Angelic Doctor , regarding original sin with respect to the Most Blessed Virgin Mary ) , in which Aquinas is interpreted not as treating the question of the Immaculate Conception later formulated in the papal bull Ineffabilis Deus but rather the sanctification of the fetus within Mary 's womb . Spada furnished an interpretation whereby Pius IX was relieved of the problem of seeming to foster a doctrine not in agreement with the Aquinas ' teaching . Pope Pius IX would later appoint Spada Master of the Sacred Palace in 1867 . Pius IX , at the beginning of his pontificate , and again after 1851 , appointed commissions to investigate the whole subject , and he was advised that the doctrine was one which could be defined and that the time for a definition was opportune . It was not until 1854 that Pope Pius IX , with the support of the overwhelming majority of Roman Catholic bishops , whom he had consulted between 1851 -- 1853 , promulgated the papal bull Ineffabilis Deus ( Latin for `` Ineffable God '' ) , which defined ex cathedra the dogma of the Immaculate Conception : We declare , pronounce and define that the doctrine which holds that the Blessed Virgin Mary , at the first instant of her conception , by a singular privilege and grace of the Omnipotent God , in virtue of the merits of Jesus Christ , the Saviour of mankind , was preserved immaculate from all stain of original sin , has been revealed by God , and therefore should firmly and constantly be believed by all the faithful . -- Pope Pius IX , Ineffabilis Deus , December 8 , 1854 The dogma was defined in accordance with the conditions of papal infallibility , which would be defined in 1870 by the First Vatican Council . The papal definition of the dogma declares with absolute certainty and authority that Mary possessed sanctifying grace from the first instant of her existence and was free from the lack of grace caused by the original sin at the beginning of human history . Mary 's salvation was won by her son Jesus Christ through his passion , death , and resurrection and was not due to her own merits . Later developments ( edit ) For the Roman Catholic Church the dogma of the Immaculate Conception gained additional significance from the reputed apparitions of Our Lady of Lourdes in 1858 . At Lourdes a 14 - year - old girl , Bernadette Soubirous , claimed that a beautiful woman appeared to her and said , `` I am the Immaculate Conception '' . Many believe the woman to have been the Blessed Virgin Mary and pray to her as such . Pope Pius IX defined the dogma of the Immaculate Conception `` not so much because of proofs in Scripture or ancient tradition , but due to a profound sensus fidelium and the Magisterium '' . Speaking of the witness of the Church Fathers in claiming for Mary titles such as `` Free from all contagion of sin '' , Pope Pius XII wrote : If the popular praises of the Blessed Virgin Mary be given the careful consideration they deserve , who will dare to doubt that she , who was purer than the angels and at all times pure , was at any moment , even for the briefest instant , not free from every stain of sin ? The Roman Catholic tradition has a well - established philosophy for the study of the Immaculate Conception and the veneration of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the field of Mariology , with Pontifical schools such as the Marianum specifically devoted to this . According to Bernard Ullathorne , a 19th - century English Roman Catholic prelate , `` the expressions - The Immaculate Conception - The Immaculate Preservation - The Immunity - and Exception from original sin , are all phrases which bear the same signification , and are used equally to express one and the same mystery . '' Patronages ( edit ) Main article : Patronages of the Immaculate Conception A number of countries are considered to be under the patronage of the Immaculate Conception by pontifical decree . These include Argentina , Brazil , Korea , Nicaragua , Paraguay , Philippines , Spain ( old kingdoms and the present state ) , the United States and Uruguay . By royal decree under the House of Braganza , it is the principal Patroness of Portugal . Feast Day ( edit ) By 750 , the feast of her conception ( December 8th ) was widely celebrated in the Byzantine East , under the name of the Conception ( active ) of Saint Anne . In the West it was known as the feast of the Conception ( passive ) of Mary , and was associated particularly with the Normans , whether these introduced it directly from the East or took it from English usage . The spread of the feast , by now with the adjective `` Immaculate '' attached to its title , met opposition on the part of some , on the grounds that sanctification was possible only after conception . Critics included Saints Bernard of Clairvaux , Albertus Magnus and Thomas Aquinas . Other theologians defended the expression `` Immaculate Conception '' , pointing out that sanctification could be conferred at the first moment of conception in view of the foreseen merits of Christ , a view held especially by Franciscans . William of Ware and Blessed John Duns Scotus pointed out that Mary 's Immaculate Conception enhances Jesus ' redemptive work . One of the chief proponents of the doctrine was the Hungarian Franciscan Pelbartus Ladislaus of Temesvár . On 28 February 1476 , Pope Sixtus IV , authorized those dioceses that wished to introduce the feast to do so , and introduced it to his own diocese of Rome in 1477 , with a specially composed Mass and Office of the feast . With his bull Cum praeexcelsa of 28 February 1477 , in which he referred to the feast as that of the Conception of Mary , without using the word `` Immaculate '' , he granted indulgences to those who would participate in the specially composed Mass or Office on the feast itself or during its octave , and he used the word `` immaculate '' of Mary , but applied instead the adjective `` miraculous '' to her conception . On 4 September 1483 , referring to the feast as that of `` the Conception of Immaculate Mary ever Virgin '' , he condemned both those who called it mortally sinful and heretical to hold that the `` glorious and immaculate mother of God was conceived without the stain of original sin '' and those who called it mortally sinful and heretical to hold that `` the glorious Virgin Mary was conceived with original sin '' , since , he said , `` up to this time there has been no decision made by the Roman Church and the Apostolic See . '' This decree was reaffirmed by the Council of Trent . Pope Pius V , while including the feast in the Tridentine Calendar , removed the adjective `` Immaculate '' and suppressed the existing special Mass for the feast , directing that the Mass for the Nativity of Mary ( with the word `` Nativity '' replaced by `` Conception '' ) be used instead . Part of that earlier Mass was revived in the Mass that Pope Pius IX ordered to be used on the feast and that is still in use . On 6 December 1708 , Pope Clement XI made the feast of the Conception of Mary , at that time still with the Nativity of Mary formula for the Mass , a Holy Day of Obligation . Until Pope Pius X reduced in 1911 the number of Holy Days of Obligation to 8 , there were in the course of the year 36 such days , apart from Sundays . Writers such as Sarah Jane Boss interpret the existence of the feast as a strong indication of the Church 's traditional belief in the Immaculate Conception . the procession of the Quadrittu of the Immaculate Conception taken on 7 December in Saponara , Sicily Other churches ( edit ) For differing reasons , belief in Mary 's immaculate conception in the Catholic doctrinal form is not part of the official doctrines of the Eastern Orthodox , Oriental Orthodox , Anglican and Protestant churches . Eastern Orthodox ( edit ) The Immaculate Conception is also portrayed by artists in the Eastern Orthodox Church , for example Holy Mary in Perlez , Vojvodina , Serbia . Contemporary Eastern Orthodox Christians often object to the dogmatic declaration of her immaculate conception as an `` over-elaboration '' of the faith and because they see it as too closely connected with a particular interpretation of the doctrine of ancestral sin . All the same , the historical and authentic tradition of Mariology in Byzantium took its historical point of departure from Sophronios , Damascene , and their imitators . The most famous Eastern Orthodox theologian to imply Mary 's Immaculate Conception was St. Gregory Palamas . Though many passages from his works were long known to extol and attribute to Mary a Christlike holiness in her human nature , traditional objections to Palamas ' disposition toward the Immaculate Conception typically rely on a poor understanding of his doctrine of `` the purification of Mary '' at the Annunciation . Not only did he explicitly cite St. Gregory Nazianzen for his understanding of Jesus ' purification at His baptism and Mary 's at the Annunciation , but Theophanes of Nicaea , Joseph Bryennius , and Gennadios Scholarios all explicitly placed Mary 's Conception as the first moment of her all - immaculate participation in the divine energies to such a degree that she was always completely without spot and graced . In addition to Emperor Manuel II and Gennadius Scholarius , St. Mark of Ephesus also fervently defended Mary 's title as `` prepurified '' against the Dominican , Manuel Calecas , who was perhaps promoting thomistic Mariology that denied Mary 's all - holiness from the first moment of her existence . Oriental Orthodox ( edit ) In the tradition of Ethiopian Orthodoxy , the Kebra Nagast says : He cleansed EVE 'S body and sanctified it and made for it a dwelling in her for ADAM 'S salvation . She ( i.e. , MARY ) was born without blemish , for He made her pure , without pollution , and she redeemed his debt without carnal union and embrace ... Through the transgression of EVE we died and were buried , and by the purity of MARY we receive honour , and are exalted to the heights . -- Kebra Nagast ( emphasis added ) Old Catholic ( edit ) While Old Catholics do not reject the Immaculate Conception of Mary , and some of their parishes venerate Mary as immaculately conceived and celebrate the feast of her Immaculate Conception , they do not accept its definition as a dogma , since they reject papal infallibility and with it the Pope 's authority to define dogma . Protestantism ( edit ) Martin Luther , who initiated the Protestant Reformation , said : `` Mother Mary , like us , was born in sin of sinful parents , but the Holy Spirit covered her , sanctified and purified her so that this child was born of flesh and blood , but not with sinful flesh and blood . The Holy Spirit permitted the Virgin Mary to remain a true , natural human being of flesh and blood , just as we . However , he warded off sin from her flesh and blood so that she became the mother of a pure child , not poisoned by sin as we are . For in that moment when she conceived , she was a holy mother filled with the Holy Spirit and her fruit is a holy pure fruit , at once God and truly man , in one person . '' Some Lutherans , such as the members of the Anglo - Lutheran Catholic Church , support the doctrine . Most Protestants reject the doctrine because they do not consider the development of dogmatic theology to be authoritative apart from biblical exegesis , and because the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception is not taught in the Bible . The formal pronouncement of Mary 's Immaculate Conception by the Catholic Church in 1854 further alienated some Protestant churches largely due to its implication that not all have sinned . Anglicanism ( edit ) Belief in Mary 's immaculate conception is not a doctrine within Anglicanism , although it is shared by many Anglo - Catholics . In the Church of England 's Common Worship prayer book , 8 December is designated a Lesser Festival of the Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary ( without the adjective `` immaculate '' ) . The report `` Mary : Faith and Hope in Christ '' , by the Anglican - Roman Catholic International Commission , concluded that the teaching about Mary in the two definitions of the Assumption and the Immaculate Conception can be said to be consonant with the teaching of the Scriptures and the ancient common traditions . But the report expressed concerns that the Roman Catholic dogmatic definitions of these concepts implies them to be `` revealed by God '' , stating : `` The question arises for Anglicans , however , as to whether these doctrines concerning Mary are revealed by God in a way which must be held by believers as a matter of faith . '' Other than Anglo - Catholics , most Anglicans reject the doctrine that Mary was sinless and conceived without original sin , often citing that it is not within the Holy Scripture and is against the redemptive role and purpose of Jesus Christ merited for all human beings . Islam ( edit ) Main article : Mary in Islam Manuscript of Chapter 19 ( Sūratu Maryam ) from a 9th - century Qur'an , Turkey . Official Islamic teachings highly regard the Virgin Mary ( Maryam ) as a sublime model of both purity and piety . An entire Sura chapter of the Qur'an is dedicated to her nobility , holiness , and obedience to God . Among Islamic circles and discussions , she is often given a prominent status being the supreme feminine model of sanctity and maternal virtue . Some Western writers have claimed that the immaculate conception of Mary is a teaching of Islam . Thus , commenting in 1734 on the passage in the Qur'an , `` I have called her Mary ; and I commend her to thy protection , and also her issue , against Satan driven away with stones '' , George Sale stated : `` It is not improbable that the pretended immaculate conception of the virgin Mary is intimated in this passage . For according to a tradition of Mohammed , every person that comes into the world , is touched at his birth by the devil , and therefore cries out , Mary and her son only excepted ; between whom , and the evil spirit God placed a veil , so that his touch did not reach them . And for this reason they say , neither of them were guilty of any sin , like the rest of the children of Adam . '' Others have rejected that the doctrine of Immaculate Conception exists in Islam . The Quranic account does not confirm the Immaculate Conception exclusively for Mary as in Islam every human child is born pure and immaculate ; her sinless birth is thus independent of the Christian doctrine of original sin as no such doctrine exists in Islam . Moreover , Hannah 's prayer in the Quran for her child to remain protected from Satan ( Shayṭān ) was said after it had already been born , not before and expresses a natural concern any righteous parent would have . The Muslim tradition or hadith , which states that the only children born without the `` touch of Satan '' were Mary and Jesus , should therefore not be taken in isolation from the Quran , and is to be interpreted within the specific context of exonerating Mary and her child from the charges that were made against them and not as a general statement . The specific mention of Mary and Jesus in this hadith may also be taken to represent a class of people , in keeping with the Arabic language and the Quranic verse ( O Satan , ) surely thou shalt have no power over My servants , except such of the erring ones as choose to follow thee ( 15 : 42 ) . Further claims have been made that the Roman Catholic Church derives its doctrine from the Islamic teaching . In volume 5 of his Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire , published in 1788 , Edward Gibbon wrote : `` The Latin Church has not disdained to borrow from the Koran the immaculate conception of his virgin mother . '' That he was speaking of her immaculate conception by her mother , not of her own virginal conception of Jesus , is shown by his footnote : `` In the xiith century the immaculate conception was condemned by St. Bernard as a presumptuous novelty . '' In the aftermath of the definition of the dogma in 1854 , this charge was repeated in an article published in 1865 : `` Strange as it may appear , that the doctrine which the church of Rome has promulgated , with so much pomp and ceremony , ' for the destruction of all heresies , and the confirmation of the faith of her adherents ' , should have its origin in the Mohametan Bible ; yet the testimony of such authorities as Gibbon , and Sale , and Forster , and Gagnier , and Maracci , leave no doubt as to the marvellous fact . '' Without making Islamic belief the origin of the doctrine defined in 1854 , a similarity between the two has been noted also by Roman Catholic writers such as Thomas Patrick Hughes , William Bernard Ullathorne , Giancarlo Finazzo . Prayers and hymns ( edit ) The Roman Missal and the Roman Rite Liturgy of the Hours naturally includes references to Mary 's immaculate conception in the feast of the Immaculate Conception . An example is the antiphon that begins : `` Tota pulchra es , Maria , et macula originalis non est in te '' ( `` You are all beautiful , Mary , and the original stain ( of sin ) is not in you . '' It continues : `` Your clothing is white as snow , and your face is like the sun . You are all beautiful , Mary , and the original stain ( of sin ) is not in you . You are the glory of Jerusalem , you are the joy of Israel , you give honour to our people . You are all beautiful , Mary . '' ) On the basis of the original Gregorian chant music , polyphonic settings have been composed by Anton Bruckner , Pablo Casals , Maurice Duruflé , Grzegorz Gerwazy Gorczycki , no : Ola Gjeilo , José Maurício Nunes Garcia , and Nikolaus Schapfl , Other prayers honouring Mary 's immaculate conception are in use outside the formal liturgy . The hymn Immaculate Mary , addressed to Mary as the Immaculately Conceived One , is closely associated with Lourdes . The Immaculata prayer , composed by Saint Maximillian Kolbe , is a prayer of entrustment to Mary as the Immaculata . A novena of prayers , with a specific prayer for each of the nine days has been composed under the title of the Immaculate Conception Novena . Artistic representations ( edit ) Main article : Roman Catholic Marian art Swiss emblem 16th century The 1476 extension of the feast of the Immaculate Conception to the entire Latin Church reduced the likelihood of controversy for the artist or patron in depicting an image , so that emblems depicting The Immaculate Conception began to appear . Many artists in the 15th century faced the problem of how to depict an abstract idea such as the Immaculate Conception , and the problem was not fully solved for 150 years . The Italian Renaissance artist Piero di Cosimo was among those artists who tried new solutions , but none of these became generally adopted so that the subject matter would be immediately recognisable to the faithful . The definitive iconography for the Immaculate Conception , drawing on the emblem tradition , seems to have been finally established by the master and then father - in - law of Diego Velázquez , the painter and theorist Francisco Pacheco . Pacheco 's iconography influenced other Spanish artists or artists active in Spain such as El Greco , Bartolomé Murillo , Diego Velázquez , and Francisco Zurbarán , who each produced a number of artistic masterpieces based on the use of these same symbols . The popularity of this particular representation of The Immaculate Conception spread across the rest of Europe , and has since remained the best known artistic depiction of the concept : in a heavenly realm , moments after her creation , the spirit of Mary ( in the form of a young woman ) looks up in awe at ( or bows her head to ) God . The moon is under her feet and a halo of twelve stars surround her head , possibly a reference to `` a woman clothed with the sun '' from Revelation 12 : 1 -- 2 . Additional imagery may include clouds , a golden light , and putti . In some paintings the putti are holding lilies and roses , flowers often associated with Mary . di Cosimo , Immaculate Conception , 1505 Rubens , Immaculate Conception , 1628 -- 1629 Zurbarán , Immaculate Conception , 1630 Murillo , Immaculate Conception , 1650 Murillo , Immaculate Conception , 1660 Murillo , Immaculate Conception , 1678 Carlo Maratta , 1689 Juan Antonio Escalante , 17th century Santa Maria degli Angeli , Rome Baroque altar in Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception Church , Portugal Caxias do Sul museum , Brazil Statue , Porto Alegre , Brazil , 19th century Palmi , Immaculate Conception , 1925 Nicaragua , Immaculate Conception , 1950 Our Lady of Aparecida , Brasilia The Immaculate Conception , Church of the Immaculate Conception in Santa Cruz de Tenerife ( Spain ) .

"The defined dogma of the Immaculate Conception regards original sin only, saying that Mary was preserved from any stain (in Latin, macula or labes, the second of these two synonymous words being the one used in the formal definition).[4] The proclaimed Roman Catholic dogma states, \"that the most Blessed Virgin Mary, in the first instance of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege granted by Almighty God, in view of the merits of Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the human race, was preserved free from all stain of original sin.\"[4] Therefore, being always free from original sin, the doctrine teaches that from her conception Mary received the sanctifying grace that would normally come with baptism after birth."

It was designed to supersede the DVD format , in that it is capable of storing hours of video in high - definition ( HDTV 720p and 1080p ) and ultra high - definition resolution ( 2160p ) . The main application of Blu - ray is as a medium for video material such as feature films and for the physical distribution of video games for the PlayStation 3 , PlayStation 4 , Wii U , and Xbox One . The name `` Blu - ray '' refers to the blue laser ( actually a violet laser ) used to read the disc , which allows information to be stored at a greater density than is possible with the longer - wavelength red laser used for DVDs . The plastic disc is 120 millimetres ( 4.7 in ) in diameter and 1.2 millimetres ( 0.047 in ) thick , the same size as DVDs and CDs . Conventional or pre-BD - XL Blu - ray discs contain 25 GB per layer , with dual layer discs ( 50 GB ) being the industry standard for feature - length video discs . Triple - layer discs ( 100 GB ) and quadruple - layer discs ( 128 GB ) are available for BD - XL re-writer drives . High - definition ( HD ) video may be stored on Blu - ray discs with up to 2160p resolution ( 3840 × 2160 pixels ) and at up to 60 frames per second . DVD - Video discs were limited to a maximum resolution of 480p ( NTSC , 720 × 480 pixels ) or 576p ( PAL , 720 × 576 pixels ) . Besides these hardware specifications , Blu - ray is associated with a set of multimedia formats . The BD format was developed by the Blu - ray Disc Association , a group representing makers of consumer electronics , computer hardware , and motion pictures . Sony unveiled the first Blu - ray disc prototypes in October 2000 , and the first prototype player was released in April 2003 in Japan . Afterwards , it continued to be developed until its official release on June 20 , 2006 , beginning the high definition optical disc format war , where Blu - ray Disc competed with the HD DVD format . Toshiba , the main company supporting HD DVD , conceded in February 2008 , and later released its own Blu - ray Disc player in late 2009 . According to Media Research , high - definition software sales in the US were slower in the first two years than DVD software sales . Blu - ray faces competition from video on demand ( VOD ) and the continued sale of DVDs . Notably , as of January 2016 , 44 % of U.S. broadband households had a Blu - ray player .

Following protracted development , blue laser diodes operating at 405 nanometers became available on a production basis . Sony started two projects in collaboration with Philips applying the new diodes : UDO ( Ultra Density Optical ) , and DVR Blue ( together with Pioneer ) , a format of rewritable discs that would eventually become Blu - ray Disc ( more specifically , BD - RE ) . The core technologies of the formats are similar . The first DVR Blue prototypes were unveiled at the CEATEC exhibition in October 2000 by Sony . A trademark for the `` Blue Disc '' logo was filed February 9 , 2001 . On February 19 , 2002 , the project was officially announced as Blu - ray Disc , and Blu - ray Disc Founders was founded by the nine initial members . The first consumer device arrived in stores on April 10 , 2003 : the Sony BDZ - S77 , a $3,800 ( US ) BD - RE recorder that was made available only in Japan . But there was no standard for prerecorded video , and no movies were released for this player . Hollywood studios insisted that players be equipped with digital rights management before they would release movies for the new format , and they wanted a new DRM system that would be more secure than the failed Content Scramble System ( CSS ) used on DVDs . On October 4 , 2004 , the name `` Blu - ray Disc Founders '' was officially changed to the Blu - ray Disc Association ( BDA ) , and 20th Century Fox joined the BDA 's Board of Directors . The Blu - ray Disc physical specifications were completed in 2004 . In January 2005 , TDK announced that they had now developed an ultra-hard yet very thin polymer coating ( `` Durabis '' ) for Blu - ray discs ; this was a significant technical advance because a far tougher protection was desired in the consumer market to protect bare discs against scratching and damage compared to DVD , while technically Blu - ray Disc required a much thinner layer for the denser and higher frequency blue laser . Cartridges , originally used for scratch protection , were no longer necessary and were scrapped . The BD - ROM specifications were finalized in early 2006 . AACS LA , a consortium founded in 2004 , had been developing the DRM platform that could be used to securely distribute movies to consumers . However , the final AACS standard was delayed , and then delayed again when an important member of the Blu - ray Disc group voiced concerns . At the request of the initial hardware manufacturers , including Toshiba , Pioneer , and Samsung , an interim standard was published that did not include some features , such as managed copy . Launch and sales developments ( edit ) The first BD - ROM players ( Samsung BD - P1000 ) were shipped in mid-June 2006 , though HD DVD players beat them to market by a few months . The first Blu - ray Disc titles were released on June 20 , 2006 : 50 First Dates , The Fifth Element , Hitch , House of Flying Daggers , Underworld : Evolution , xXx ( all Sony ) , Twister ( Warner Bros . ) , and MGM 's The Terminator . The earliest releases used MPEG - 2 video compression , the same method used on standard DVDs . The first releases using the newer VC - 1 and AVC formats were introduced in September 2006 . The first movies using 50 GB dual - layer discs were introduced in October 2006 . The first audio - only albums were released in May 2008 . The first mass - market Blu - ray Disc rewritable drive for the PC was the BWU - 100A , released by Sony on July 18 , 2006 . It recorded both single and dual - layer BD - Rs as well as BD - REs and had a suggested retail price of US $699 . As of June 2008 , more than 2,500 Blu - ray Disc titles were available in Australia and the United Kingdom , with 3,500 in the United States and Canada . In Japan , as of July 2010 , more than 3,300 titles have been released . Competition from HD DVD ( edit ) Main article : High definition optical disc format war The DVD Forum , chaired by Toshiba , was split over whether to develop the more expensive blue laser technology . In March 2002 the forum approved a proposal , which was endorsed by Warner Bros. and other motion picture studios . The proposal involved compressing HD video onto dual - layer standard DVD - 9 discs . In spite of this decision , however , the DVD Forum 's Steering Committee announced in April that it was pursuing its own blue - laser high - definition video solution . In August , Toshiba and NEC announced their competing standard , Advanced Optical Disc . It was finally adopted by the DVD Forum and renamed HD DVD the next year , after being voted down twice by DVD Forum members who were also Blu - ray Disc Association members -- a situation that drew preliminary investigations by the U.S. Department of Justice . HD DVD had a head start in the high - definition video market , as Blu - ray Disc sales were slow to gain market share . The first Blu - ray Disc player was perceived as expensive and buggy , and there were few titles available . The appearance of the Sony PlayStation 3 , which contained a Blu - ray Disc player for primary storage , helped support Blu - ray . Sony also ran a more thorough and influential marketing campaign for the format . AVCHD camcorders were also introduced in 2006 . These recordings can be played back on many Blu - ray Disc players without re-encoding but are not compatible with HD DVD players . By January 2007 , Blu - ray Discs had outsold HD DVDs , and during the first three - quarters of 2007 , BD outsold HD DVD by about two to one . At CES 2007 , Warner proposed Total Hi Def -- a hybrid disc containing Blu - ray on one side and HD DVD on the other , but it was never released . In a June 28 , 2007 , press release , Twentieth Century Fox cited Blu - ray Disc 's adoption of the BD+ anticopying system as key to their decision to support the Blu - ray Disc format . On January 4 , 2008 , a day before CES 2008 , Warner Bros. ( the only major studio still releasing movies in both HD DVD and Blu - ray Disc format ) announced that it would release only in Blu - ray Disc after May 2008 . This effectively included other studios that came under the Warner umbrella , such as New Line Cinema and HBO -- though in Europe , HBO distribution partner , the BBC , announced it would , while keeping an eye on market forces , continue to release product on both formats . This led to a chain reaction in the industry , with major U.S. retailers such as Best Buy , Walmart , and Circuit City and Canadian chains such as Future Shop dropping HD DVD in their stores . A then major European retailer , Woolworths , dropped HD DVD from its inventory . Netflix and Blockbuster -- major DVD rental companies -- said they would no longer carry HD DVD . Following these new developments , on February 19 , 2008 , Toshiba announced it would end production of HD DVD devices , allowing Blu - ray Disc to become the industry standard for high - density optical discs . Universal Studios , the sole major movie studio to back HD DVD since its inception , said shortly after Toshiba 's announcement : `` While Universal values the close partnership we have shared with Toshiba , it is time to turn our focus to releasing new and catalog titles on Blu - ray Disc . '' Paramount Pictures , which started releasing movies only in HD DVD format during late 2007 , also said it would start releasing in Blu - ray Disc . Both studios announced initial Blu - ray lineups in May 2008 . With this , all major Hollywood studios supported Blu - ray . Future scope and market trends ( edit ) According to Media Research , high - definition software sales in the US were slower in the first two years than DVD software sales . 16.3 million DVD software units were sold in the first two years ( 1997 -- 98 ) compared to 8.3 million high - definition software units ( 2006 -- 07 ) . One reason given for this difference was the smaller marketplace ( 26.5 million HDTVs in 2007 compared to 100 million SDTVs in 1998 ) . Former HD DVD supporter Microsoft did not make a Blu - ray Disc drive for the Xbox 360 . The 360 's successor Xbox One features a Blu - ray drive , as does the PS4 , with both supporting 3D Blu - ray after later firmware updates . Shortly after the `` format war '' ended , Blu - ray disc sales began to increase . A study by The NPD Group found that awareness of Blu - ray Disc had reached 60 % of U.S. households . Nielsen VideoScan sales numbers showed that for some titles , such as 20th Century Fox 's Hitman , up to 14 % of total disc sales were from Blu - ray , although the average Blu - ray sales for the first half of the year were only around 5 % . In December 2008 , the Blu - ray Disc version of The Dark Knight sold 600,000 copies on the first day of its launch in the United States , Canada , and the United Kingdom . A week after the launch , The Dark Knight BD had sold over 1.7 million copies worldwide , making it the first Blu - ray Disc title to sell over a million copies in the first week of release . Blu - ray Disc sales in United States and Canada Year Cumulative sales ( millions ) 2006 1.2 2007 19.2 2008 82.9 2009 177.2 350 According to Singulus Technologies AG , Blu - ray is being adopted faster than the DVD format was at a similar period in its development . This conclusion was based on the fact that Singulus Technologies has received orders for 21 Blu - ray dual - layer machines during the first quarter of 2008 , while 17 DVD machines of this type were made in the same period in 1997 . According to GfK Retail and Technology , in the first week of November 2008 , sales of Blu - ray recorders surpassed DVD recorders in Japan . According to the Digital Entertainment Group , the number of Blu - ray Disc playback devices ( both set - top box and game console ) sold in the U.S. had reached 28.5 million by the end of 2010 . Blu - ray faces competition from video on demand and from new technologies that allow access to movies on any format or device , such as Digital Entertainment Content Ecosystem or Disney 's Keychest . Some commentators have suggested that renting Blu - ray will play a vital part in keeping the technology affordable while allowing it to move forward . In an effort to increase sales , studios are releasing movies in combo packs with Blu - ray Discs and DVDs as well as digital copies that can be played on computers and mobile devices . Some are released on `` flipper '' discs with Blu - ray on one side and DVD on the other . Other strategies are to release movies with the special features only on Blu - ray Discs and none on DVDs . Beyond Blu - ray Disc ( edit ) Blu - ray case - often blue - colored The Holographic Versatile Disc ( HVD ) , described in the ECMA - 377 standard , has been in development by The Holography System Development ( HSD ) Forum using a green writing / reading laser ( 532 nm ) and a red positioning / addressing laser ( 650 nm ) . It is to offer MPEG - 2 , MPEG - 4 AVC ( H. 264 ) , HEVC ( H. 265 ) , and VC - 1 encoding , supporting a maximum storage capacity of 6TB . No systems corresponding to the Ecma International HVD standard have been released . Because the Blu - ray Disc format is upgradable it poses challenges to the adoption of the HVD format . 4K Blu - ray discs and players became available in the first quarter of 2016 , having a storage capacity of up to 100 GB . Ongoing development ( edit ) Front of an experimental 200 GB rewritable Blu - ray Disc Although the Blu - ray Disc specification has been finalized , engineers continue to work on advancing the technology . By 2005 , quad - layer ( 128 GB ) discs had been demonstrated on a drive with modified optics and standard unaltered optics . Hitachi stated that such a disc could be used to store 7 hours of 32 Mbit / s video ( HDTV ) or 3 hours and 30 minutes of 64 Mbit / s video ( Ultra high definition television ) . In August 2006 , TDK announced that they had created a working experimental Blu - ray Disc capable of holding 200 GB of data on a single side , using six 33 GB data layers . Also , behind closed doors at CES 2007 , Ritek revealed that they had successfully developed a High Definition optical disc process that extends the disc capacity to ten layers , which increases the capacity of the discs to 250 GB . However , they noted that the major obstacle is that current read / write technology does not allow additional layers . JVC has developed a three - layer technology that allows putting both standard - definition DVD data and HD data on a BD / ( standard ) DVD combination . This would have enabled the consumer to purchase a disc that can be played on DVD players and can also reveal its HD version when played on a BD player . Japanese optical disc manufacturer Infinity announced the first `` hybrid '' Blu - ray Disc / ( standard ) DVD combo , to be released February 18 , 2009 . This disc set of the TV series `` Code Blue '' featured four hybrid discs containing a single Blu - ray Disc layer ( 25 GB ) and two DVD layers ( 9 GB ) on the same side of the disc . In January 2007 , Hitachi showcased a 100 GB Blu - ray Disc , consisting of four layers containing 25 GB each . Unlike TDK and Panasonic 's 100 GB discs , they claim this disc is readable on standard Blu - ray Disc drives that are currently in circulation , and it is believed that a firmware update is the only requirement to make it readable to current players and drives . In December 2008 , Pioneer Corporation unveiled a 400 GB Blu - ray Disc ( containing 16 data layers , 25 GB each ) that will be compatible with current players after a firmware update . Its planned launch was in the 2009 -- 10 time frame for ROM and 2010 -- 13 for rewritable discs . Ongoing development was underway to create a 1 TB Blu - ray Disc . At CES 2009 , Panasonic unveiled the DMP - B15 , the first portable Blu - ray Disc player , and Sharp introduced the LC - BD60U and LC - BD80U series , the first LCD HDTVs with integrated Blu - ray Disc players . Sharp has also announced that they will sell HDTVs with integrated Blu - ray Disc recorders in the United States by the end of 2009 . Set - top box recorders were not being sold in the U.S. for fear of unauthorized copying . However , personal computers with Blu - ray recorder drives were available . On January 1 , 2010 , Sony , in association with Panasonic , announced plans to increase the storage capacity on their Blu - ray Discs from 25 GB to 33.4 GB via a technology called i - MLSE ( Maximum likelihood Sequence Estimation ) . The higher - capacity discs , according to Sony , would be readable on existing Blu - ray Disc players with a firmware upgrade . No date was set to include the increased space , although in 2010 Blu-ray.com reported that `` it will likely happen sometime later this year . '' On July 20 , 2010 , the research team of Sony and Japanese Tohoku University announced the joint development of a blue - violet laser , to help create Blu - ray discs with a capacity of 1 TB using only two layers ( and potentially more than 1 TB with additional layering ) . By comparison , the first blue laser was invented in 1996 , with the first prototype discs coming four years later . Early 4K Blu - ray release at Best Buy . A 4K Blu - ray disc player was also released . On January 7 , 2013 , Sony announced that it would release `` Mastered in 4K '' Blu - ray Disc titles which are sourced at 4K and encoded at 1080p . `` Mastered in 4K '' Blu - ray Disc titles can be played on existing Blu - ray Disc players and have a larger color space using xvYCC . On January 14 , 2013 , Blu - ray Disc Association president , Andy Parsons , stated that a task force was created three months prior to conduct a study concerning an extension to the Blu - ray Disc specification that would add the ability to contain 4K Ultra HD video . On August 5 , 2015 , The Blu - ray Disc Association ( BDA ) announced it will commence licensing the Ultra HD Blu - ray format starting August 24 , 2015 . The Ultra HD Blu - ray format delivered high dynamic range content that significantly expanded the range between the brightest and darkest elements , expanded color range , high frame rate ( up to 60fps ) and up to 3840 × 2160 resolution , object - based sound formats , and an optional `` digital bridge '' feature . New players were required to play this format , which were able to play both DVDs , traditional Blu - rays and the new format . New Ultra HD Blu - ray discs hold up to 66 GB and 100 GB of data on dual and triple layer discs respectively .

Note that even though the laser is called `` blue '' , its color is actually in the violet range . The shorter wavelength can be focused to a smaller area , thus enabling it to read information recorded in pits that are less than half the size of those on a DVD , and can consequently be spaced more closely , resulting in a shorter track pitch , enabling a Blu - ray Disc to hold about five times the amount of information that can be stored on a DVD . The lasers are GaN ( gallium nitride ) laser diodes that produce 405 nm light directly , that is , without frequency doubling or other nonlinear optical mechanisms . Conventional DVDs use 650 nm red lasers , and CDs use 780 nm near - infrared lasers . The minimum `` spot size '' on which a laser can be focused is limited by diffraction and depends on the wavelength of the light and the numerical aperture of the lens used to focus it . By decreasing the wavelength , increasing the numerical aperture from 0.60 to 0.85 , and making the cover layer thinner to avoid unwanted optical effects , designers can cause the laser beam to focus on a smaller spot , which effectively allows more information to be stored in the same area . For Blu - ray Disc , the spot size is 580 nm . This allows a reduction of the pit size from 400 nm for DVD to 150 nm for Blu - ray Disc , and of the track pitch from 740 nm to 320 nm . See Compact Disc for information on optical discs ' physical structure . In addition to the optical improvements , Blu - ray Discs feature improvements in data encoding that further increase the amount of content that can be stored . Hard - coating technology ( edit ) Since the Blu - ray Disc data layer is closer to the surface of the disc compared to the DVD standard , it was more vulnerable to scratches in early designs . The first discs were therefore housed in cartridges for protection , resembling Professional Discs introduced by Sony in 2003 . Using a cartridge would increase the price of an already expensive medium , so designers chose hard - coating of the pickup surface instead . TDK was the first company to develop a working scratch - protection coating for Blu - ray Discs , naming it Durabis . In addition , both Sony 's and Panasonic 's replication methods include proprietary hard - coat technologies . Sony 's rewritable media are spin - coated , using a scratch - resistant and antistatic coating . Verbatim 's recordable and rewritable Blu - ray Discs use their own proprietary technology , called Hard Coat . The Blu - ray Disc specification requires the testing of resistance to scratches by mechanical abrasion . In contrast , DVD media are not required to be scratch - resistant , but since development of the technology , some companies , such as Verbatim , implemented hard - coating for more expensive lines of recordable DVDs . Drive speeds ( edit ) BD drive speeds Drive speed Data rate ~ Write time ( minutes ) Mbit / s MB / s Single - Layer Dual - Layer 1 × 36 4.5 90 180 2 × 72 9 45 90 4 × 144 18 22.5 45 6 × 216 27 15 30 8 × 288 36 11.25 22.5 10 × 360 45 9 18 12 × 432 54 7.5 15 14 × 504 63 6.5 13 16 × 576 72 5.7 11.5 The table shows the speeds available . Even the lowest speed ( 1x ) is sufficient to play and record real - time 1080p video ; the higher speeds are relevant for general data storage and more sophisticated handling of video . The usable data rate of a Blu - ray Disc drive can be limited by the capacity of the drive 's data interface . With a USB 2.0 interface , the maximum exploitable drive speed is 288 Mbit / s or 36 MB / s ( also called 8 × speed ) . A USB 3.0 interface ( with proper cabling ) does not have this limitation , nor do even the oldest version of Serial ATA ( SATA ) nor the latest Parallel ATA standards . Blu - ray drives that are integrated into a computer ( as opposed to physically separate and connected via a cable ) typically have a SATA interface . Packaging ( edit ) Pre-recorded Blu - ray Disc titles usually ship in packages similar to but slightly smaller ( 18.5 mm shorter and 2 mm thinner : 135 mm x 171.5 mm x 13 mm . ) , as well as more rounded than a standard DVD keep case , generally with the format prominently displayed in a horizontal stripe across the top of the case ( translucent blue for Blu - ray video discs , red for PlayStation 3 Greatest Hits Games , transparent for regular PlayStation 3 games , transparent dark blue for PlayStation 4 games and transparent green for Xbox One games ) . Warren Osborn and The Seastone Media Group , LLC created the package that was adopted worldwide following the Blu - ray vs. HD DVD market adoption choice . Because of the fact that Blu - ray cases are smaller than DVD cases , more Blu - Rays than DVDs can fit on a shelf , making Blu - ray an arguably better choice for situations with limited storage space . Variants ( edit ) Mini Blu - ray Disc ( edit ) The `` Mini Blu - ray Disc '' ( also , `` Mini-BD '' and `` Mini Blu - ray '' ) is a compact 8 cm ( ~ 3 in ) - diameter variant of the Blu - ray Disc that can store 7.8 GB of data in its single layer configuration , or 15.6 GB on a dual layer disc . It is similar in concept to the MiniDVD and MiniCD . Recordable ( BD - R ) and rewritable ( BD - RE ) versions of Mini Blu - ray Disc have been developed specifically for compact camcorders and other compact recording devices . Blu - ray Disc recordable ( edit ) Main article : Blu - ray Disc recordable `` Blu - ray Disc recordable '' refers to two optical disc formats that can be recorded with an optical disc recorder . BD - Rs can be written to once , whereas BD - REs can be erased and re-recorded multiple times . The current practical maximum speed for Blu - ray Discs is about 12 × . Higher speeds of rotation ( 10,000 + rpm ) cause too much wobble for the discs to be written properly , as with the 20 × and 52 × maximum speeds , respectively , of standard DVDs and CDs . Since September 2007 , BD - RE is also available in the smaller 8 cm Mini Blu - ray Disc size . On September 18 , 2007 , Pioneer and Mitsubishi codeveloped BD - R LTH ( `` Low to High '' in groove recording ) , which features an organic dye recording layer that can be manufactured by modifying existing CD - R and DVD - R production equipment , significantly reducing manufacturing costs . In February 2008 , Taiyo Yuden , Mitsubishi , and Maxell released the first BD - R LTH Discs , and in March 2008 , Sony 's PlayStation 3 officially gained the ability to use BD - R LTH Discs with the 2.20 firmware update . In May 2009 Verbatim / Mitsubishi announced the industry 's first 6X BD - R LTH media , which allows recording a 25 GB disc in about 16 minutes . Unlike with the previous releases of 120 mm optical discs ( i.e. CDs and standard DVDs ) , Blu - ray recorders hit the market almost simultaneously with Blu - ray 's debut . BD9 and BD5 ( edit ) The BD9 format was proposed to the Blu - ray Disc Association by Warner Home Video as a cost - effective alternative to the 25 / 50 GB BD - ROM discs . The format was supposed to use the same codecs and program structure as Blu - ray Disc video but recorded onto less expensive 8.5 GB dual - layer DVD . This red - laser media could be manufactured on existing DVD production lines with lower costs of production than the 25 / 50 GB Blu - ray media . Usage of BD9 for releasing content on `` pressed '' discs never caught on . With the end of the format war , manufacturers ramped production of Blu - ray Discs and lowered prices to compete with DVDs . On the other hand , the idea of using inexpensive DVD media became popular among individual users . A lower - capacity version of this format that uses single - layer 4.7 GB DVDs has been unofficially called BD5 . Both formats are being used by individuals for recording high definition content in Blu - ray format onto recordable DVD media . Despite the fact that the BD9 format has been adopted as part of the BD - ROM basic format , none of the existing Blu - ray player models explicitly claim to be able to read it . Consequently , the discs recorded in BD9 and BD5 formats are not guaranteed to play on standard Blu - ray Disc players . AVCHD and AVCREC also use inexpensive media like DVDs , but unlike BD9 and BD5 these formats have limited interactivity , codec types , and data rates . As of March 2011 , BD9 was removed as an official BD - ROM disc . BDXL ( edit ) 100 GB BDXL triple - layer disc by Sharp The BDXL format allows 100 GB and 128 GB write - once discs , and 100 GB rewritable discs for commercial applications . It was defined in June 2010 . BD - R 3.0 Format Specification ( BDXL ) defined a multi-layered disc recordable in BDAV format with the speed of 2 × and 4 × , capable of 100 / 128 GB and usage of UDF2. 5 / 2.6 . BD - RE 4.0 Format Specification ( BDXL ) defined a multi-layered disc rewritable in BDAV with the speed of 2 × and 4 × , capable of 100 GB and usage of UDF2. 5 as file system . IH - BD ( edit ) The IH - BD ( Intra-Hybrid Blu - ray ) format includes a 25 GB rewritable layer ( BD - RE ) and a 25 GB write once layer ( BD - ROM ) , designed to work with existing Blu - ray Discs . Data format standards ( edit ) Filesystem ( edit ) Blu - ray Disc specifies the use of Universal Disk Format ( UDF ) 2.50 as a convergent friendly format for both PC and consumer electronics environments . It is used in the latest specifications of BD - ROM , BD - RE , and BD - R. In the first BD - RE specification ( defined in 2002 ) , the BDFS ( Blu - ray Disc File System ) was used . The BD - RE 1.0 specification was defined mainly for the digital recording of high - definition television ( HDTV ) broadcast television . The BDFS was replaced by UDF 2.50 in the second BD - RE specification in 2005 , in order to enable interoperability among consumer electronics Blu - ray recorders and personal computer systems . These optical disc recording technologies enabled PC recording and playback of BD - RE . BD - R can use UDF 2.50 / 2.60 . The Blu - ray Disc application for recording of digital broadcasting has been developed as System Description Blu - ray Rewritable Disc Format part 3 Audio Visual Basic Specifications ( BDAV ) . The requirements related with computer file system have been specified in System Description Blu - ray Rewritable Disc Format part 2 File System Specifications version 1.0 ( BDFS ) . Initially , the BD - RE version 1.0 ( BDFS ) was specifically developed for recording of digital broadcasts using the Blu - ray Disc application ( BDAV application ) . But these requirements are superseded by the Blu - ray Rewritable Disc File System Specifications version 2.0 ( UDF ) ( a.k.a. RE 2.0 ) and Blu - ray Recordable Disc File System Specifications version 1.0 ( UDF ) ( a.k.a. R 1.0 ) . Additionally , a new application format , BDMV ( System Description Blu - ray Disc Prerecorded Format part 3 Audio Visual Basic Specifications ) for High Definition Content Distribution was developed for BD - ROM . The only file system developed for BDMV is the System Description Blu - ray Read - Only Disc Format part 2 File System Specifications version 1.0 ( UDF ) which defines the requirements for UDF 2.50 . Application format ( edit ) BDAV or BD - AV ( Blu - ray Disc Audio / Visual ) : a consumer - oriented Blu - ray video format used for audio / video recording ( defined in 2002 ) . BDMV or BD - MV ( Blu - ray Disc Movie ) : a Blu - ray video format with menu capability commonly used for movie releases . BDMV Recording specification ( defined in September 2006 for BD - RE and BD - R ) . RREF ( Realtime Recording and Editing Format ) : a subset of BDMV designed for real - time recording and editing applications . HFPA ( High Fidelity Pure Audio ) : A high definition audio disc using the Blu - ray format Directory and file structure ( edit ) All BDMV application files are stored under a `` BDMV '' directory . BDMV directory : contains the PLAYLIST , CLIPINF , STREAM , AUXDATA and BACKUP directories . PLAYLIST directory : contains the Database files for Movie PlayLists . xxxxx. mpls files : store information corresponding to Movie PlayLists . One file is created for each Movie PlayList . The filenames of these files are in the form `` xxxxx. mpls '' , where `` xxxxx '' is a 5 - digit number corresponding to the Movie PlayList . CLIPINF directory : contains the Database files for Clips . zzzzz. clpi files : store Clip information associated with a Clip AV stream file . The filenames of these files are in the form `` zzzzz. clpi '' , where `` zzzzz '' is a 5 - digit number corresponding to the Clip . STREAM directory : contains AV stream files . zzzzz. m2ts file : contains a BDAV MPEG - 2 transport stream . The names of these files are in the form `` zzzzz. m2ts '' , where `` zzzzz '' is a 5 - digit number corresponding to the Clip . The same 5 - digit number `` zzzzz '' is used for an AV stream file and its associated Clip information file . SSIF directory : If used , Stereoscopic Interleaved files shall be placed under this directory . zzzzz. ssif file : is a Stereoscopic Interleaved file that is composed from two BDAV MPEG - 2 transport streams . Both of the streams include an MPEG - 4 MVC view video stream for left eye or right eye respectively . This file is used only when 3D video is played back . The 5 - digit number `` zzzzz '' is the same as the number used for the AV stream file `` zzzzz. m2ts '' that includes the MPEG - 4 MVC Base view video stream . AUXDATA directory : contains Sound data files and Font files . sound. bdmv file : stores data relating to one or more sounds associated with HDMV Interactive Graphic streams applications . This file may or may not exist under the AUXDATA directory . If it exists , there shall be only one sound. bdmv file . aaaaa. otf file : stores the font information associated with Text subtitle applications . The names of these files are in the form `` aaaaa. otf '' , where `` aaaaa '' is a 5 - digit number corresponding to the Font . BACKUP directory : contains copies of the `` index. bdmv '' file , the `` MovieObject. bdmv '' file , all the files in the PLAYLIST directory and all files in the CLIPINF directory . index. bdmv file : stores information describing the contents of the BDMV directory . There is only one index. bdmv file under the BDMV directory . MovieObject. bdmv file : stores information for one or more Movie Objects . There is only one MovieObject. bdmv under the BDMV directory . Media format ( edit ) Container format ( edit ) Audio , video , and other streams are multiplexed and stored on Blu - ray Discs in a container format based on the MPEG transport stream . It is also known as BDAV MPEG - 2 transport stream and can use filename extension . m2ts . Blu - ray Disc titles authored with menus are in the BDMV ( Blu - ray Disc Movie ) format and contain audio , video , and other streams in BDAV container . There is also the BDAV ( Blu - ray Disc Audio / Visual ) format , the consumer oriented alternative to the BDMV format used for movie releases . The BDAV format is used on BD - REs and BD - Rs for audio / video recording . BDMV format was later defined also for BD - RE and BD - R ( in September 2006 , in the third revision of BD - RE specification and second revision of BD - R specification ) . Blu - ray Disc employs the MPEG transport stream recording method . That enables transport streams of digital broadcasts to be recorded as they are broadcast , without altering the format . It also enables flexible editing of a digital broadcast that is recorded as is and where the data can be edited just by rewriting the playback stream . Although it is quite natural , a function for high - speed and easy - to - use retrieval is built in . Blu - ray Disc Video use MPEG transport streams , compared to DVD 's MPEG program streams . An MPEG transport stream contains one or more MPEG program streams , so this allows multiple video programs to be stored in the same file so they can be played back simultaneously ( e.g. with `` picture - in - picture '' effect ) . Codecs ( edit ) The BD - ROM specification mandates certain codec compatibilities for both hardware decoders ( players ) and movie software ( content ) . Windows Media Player does not come with the codecs required to play Blu - ray discs . Video ( edit ) Originally BD - ROMs stored video up to 1920 × 1080 pixel resolution at up to 60 ( 59.94 ) fields per second . Currently with UHD BD - ROM videos can be stored at a maximum of 3840 × 2160 pixel resolution at up to 60 ( 59.94 ) frames per second , progressively scanned . While most current Blu - ray players and recorders can read and write 1920 × 1080 video at the full 59.94 p and 50p progressive format , new players for the UHD specifications will be able to read at 3840 × 2160 video at either 59.94 p and 50p formats . Supported video formats Format Resolution and frame rate Aspect ratio 4K UHD 3840 × 2160 60p 16 : 9 3840 × 2160 59.94 p 16 : 9 3840 × 2160 50p 16 : 9 3840 × 2160 25p 16 : 9 3840 × 2160 24p 16 : 9 3840 × 2160 23.976 p 16 : 9 HD 1920 × 1080 59.94 i 16 : 9 1920 × 1080 50i 16 : 9 1920 × 1080 24p 16 : 9 1920 × 1080 23.976 p 16 : 9 1440 × 1080 59.94 i 16 : 9 1440 × 1080 50i 16 : 9 1440 × 1080 24p 16 : 9 1440 × 1080 23.976 p 16 : 9 1280 × 720 59.94 p 16 : 9 1280 × 720 50p 16 : 9 1280 × 720 24p 16 : 9 1280 × 720 23.976 p 16 : 9 SD 720 × 480 59.94 i 4 : 3 or 16 : 9 720 × 576 50i 4 : 3 or 16 : 9 ^ a Interlaced formats are listed in fields per second . ^ b MPEG - 2 at 1440 × 1080 was previously not included in a draft version of the specification from March 2005 . For video , all players are required to process H. 262 / MPEG - 2 Part 2 , H. 264 / MPEG - 4 Part 10 : AVC , and SMPTE VC - 1 . BD - ROM titles with video must store video using one of the three mandatory formats ; multiple formats on a single title are allowed . Blu - ray Disc allows video with a bit depth of 8 - bits per color YCbCr with 4 : 2 : 0 chroma subsampling . The choice of formats affects the producer 's licensing / royalty costs as well as the title 's maximum run time , due to differences in compression efficiency . Discs encoded in MPEG - 2 video typically limit content producers to around two hours of high - definition content on a single - layer ( 25 GB ) BD - ROM . The more - advanced video formats ( VC - 1 and MPEG - 4 AVC ) typically achieve a video run time twice that of MPEG - 2 , with comparable quality . MPEG - 2 was used by many studios ( including Paramount Pictures , which initially used the VC - 1 format for HD DVD releases ) for the first series of Blu - ray Discs , which were launched throughout 2006 . Modern releases are now often encoded in either MPEG - 4 AVC or VC - 1 , allowing film studios to place all content on one disc , reducing costs and improving ease of use . Using these formats also frees a lot of space for storage of bonus content in HD ( 1080i / p ) , as opposed to the SD ( 480i / p ) typically used for most titles . Some studios , such as Warner Bros. , have released bonus content on discs encoded in a different format than the main feature title . For example , the Blu - ray Disc release of Superman Returns uses VC - 1 for the feature film and MPEG - 2 for some of its bonus content . Today , Warner and other studios typically provide bonus content in the video format that matches the feature . Audio ( edit ) For audio , BD - ROM players are required to implement Dolby Digital ( AC - 3 ) , DTS , and linear PCM . Players may optionally implement Dolby Digital Plus and DTS - HD High Resolution Audio as well as lossless formats Dolby TrueHD and DTS - HD Master Audio . BD - ROM titles must use one of the mandatory schemes for the primary soundtrack . A secondary audiotrack , if present , may use any of the mandatory or optional codecs . Specification of BD - ROM Primary audio streams LPCM ( uncompressed ) Dolby Digital Dolby Digital Plus Dolby TrueHD ( lossless ) DTS Digital Surround DTS - HD Master Audio ( lossless ) DRA DRA extension Max . bitrate 27.648 Mbit / s 640 kbit / s 4.736 Mbit / s 18.64 Mbit / s 1.524 Mbit / s 24.5 Mbit / s 1.5 Mbit / s 3.0 Mbit / s Max . channel 8 ( 48 kHz , 96 kHz ) , 6 ( 192 kHz ) 5.1 7.1 8 ( 48 kHz , 96 kHz ) , 6 ( 192 kHz ) 5.1 8 ( 48 kHz , 96 kHz ) , 6 ( 192 kHz ) 5.1 7.1 Bits / sample 16 , 20 , 24 16 , 24 16 , 24 16 , 24 16 , 20 , 24 16 , 24 16 16 Sample frequency 48 kHz , 96 kHz , 192 kHz 48 kHz 48 kHz 48 kHz , 96 kHz , 192 kHz 48 kHz 48 kHz , 96 kHz , 192 kHz 48 kHz 48 kHz , 96 kHz Bit rate ( edit ) For users recording digital television programming , the recordable Blu - ray Disc standard 's initial data rate of 36 Mbit / s is more than adequate to record high - definition broadcasts from any source ( IPTV , cable / satellite , or terrestrial ) . BD Video movies have a maximum data transfer rate of 54 Mbit / s , a maximum AV bitrate of 48 Mbit / s ( for both audio and video data ) , and a maximum video bit rate of 40 Mbit / s . This compares to HD DVD movies , which have a maximum data transfer rate of 36 Mbit / s , a maximum AV bitrate of 30.24 Mbit / s , and a maximum video bitrate of 29.4 Mbit / s . Java software interface ( edit ) Main article : BD - J At the 2005 JavaOne trade show , it was announced that Sun Microsystems ' Java cross-platform software environment would be included in all Blu - ray Disc players as a mandatory part of the standard . Java is used to implement interactive menus on Blu - ray Discs , as opposed to the method used on DVD - video discs . DVDs use pre-rendered MPEG segments and selectable subtitle pictures , which are considerably more primitive and rarely seamless . At the conference , Java creator James Gosling suggested that the inclusion of a Java virtual machine , as well as network connectivity in some BD devices , will allow updates to Blu - ray Discs via the Internet , adding content such as additional subtitle languages and promotional features not included on the disc at pressing time . This Java Version is called BD - J and is built on a profile of the Globally Executable MHP ( GEM ) standard ; GEM is the worldwide version of the Multimedia Home Platform standard . Player profiles ( edit ) Blu - ray disc writer from LG Electronics The BD - ROM specification defines four Blu - ray Disc player profiles , including an audio - only player profile ( BD - Audio ) that does not require video decoding or BD - J. All of the video - based player profiles ( BD - Video ) are required to have a full implementation of BD - J . Feature BD - Audio BD - Video Grace Period Bonus View BD - Live Blu - ray 3D Profile 3.0 Profile 1.0 Profile 1.1 Profile 2.0 Profile 5.0 Built - in persistent memory No 64 KB 64 KB 64 KB 64 KB ? Local storage capability No Optional 256 MB 1 GB 1 GB Secondary video decoder ( PiP ) No Optional Mandatory Mandatory Mandatory Secondary audio decoder No Optional Mandatory Mandatory Mandatory Virtual file system No Optional Mandatory Mandatory Mandatory Internet connection capability No No No Mandatory Mandatory ^ a This is used for storing audio / video and title updates . It can either be built - in memory or removable media , such as a memory card or USB flash memory . ^ b A secondary audio decoder is typically used for interactive audio and commentary . ^ c Profile 3.0 is a separate audio - only player profile . The first Blu - ray Disc album to be released was Divertimenti , by record label Lindberg Lyd , and it has been confirmed to work on the PS3 . ^ d Also known as Initial Standard profile . ^ e Also known as Final Standard profile . On November 2 , 2007 , the Grace Period Profile was superseded by Bonus View as the minimum profile for new BD - Video players released to the market . When Blu - ray Disc software not authored with interactive features dependent on Bonus View or BD - Live hardware capabilities is played on Profile 1.0 players , it is able to play the main feature of the disc , but some extra features may not be available or will have limited capability . BD - Live ( edit ) The biggest difference between Bonus View and BD - Live is that BD - Live requires the Blu - ray Disc player to have an Internet connection to access Internet - based content . BD - Live features have included Internet chats , scheduled chats with the director , Internet games , downloadable featurettes , downloadable quizzes , and downloadable movie trailers . Note that while some Bonus View players may have an Ethernet port , these are used for firmware updates and are not used for Internet - based content . In addition , Profile 2.0 also requires more local storage in order to handle this content . Profile 1.0 players are not eligible for Bonus View or BD - Live compliant upgrades and do not have the function or capability to access these upgrades , with the exception of the latest players and the PlayStation 3 . Internet is required to use . Region codes ( edit ) Regions for the Blu - ray Disc standard : Region A / 1 Region B / 2 Region C / 3 As with the implementation of region codes for DVDs , Blu - ray Disc players sold in a specific geographical region are designed to play only discs authorized by the content provider for that region . This is intended to permit content providers ( motion picture studios , television production company etc . ) to do effective price differentiation between regions . According to the Blu - ray Disc Association , all Blu - ray Disc players and Blu - ray Disc - equipped computer systems are required to enforce regional coding . However , content providers need not use region playback codes . Some current estimates suggest 70 % of available ( movie ) Blu - ray Discs from the major studios are region - code - free and can , therefore , be played on any Blu - ray Disc player , in any region . Movie distributors have different region coding policies . Among major U.S. studios , Walt Disney Pictures , Warner Bros. , Paramount Pictures , Universal Studios , and Sony Pictures have released most of their titles region - free . MGM and Lions Gate Entertainment have released a mix of region - free and region - coded titles . 20th Century Fox has released most of their titles region - coded . Vintage film restoration and distribution company The Criterion Collection uses US region coding in all Blu - ray releases . The Blu - ray Disc region coding scheme divides the world into three regions , labeled A , B , and C . Region code Area The Americas and their dependencies , Taiwan , Hong Kong , Macau , Japan , Korea and Southeast Asia ; excludes instances that fall under Region C Africa , Middle East , Southwest Asia , most of Europe , United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland , Australia , New Zealand , and their dependencies ; excludes instances that fall under Region C Central Asia , mainland China , Mongolia , South Asia , Belarus , Russia , Ukraine , Kazakhstan , Moldova , and the aforementioned regions ' dependencies FREE Informal term meaning `` worldwide '' . Region free is not an official setting ; discs that bear the region FREE symbol either have no flags set or have all three flags set . ABC In circumvention of region coding restrictions , stand - alone Blu - ray Disc players are sometimes modified by third parties to allow for playback of Blu - ray Discs ( and DVDs ) with any region code . Instructions ( `` hacks '' ) describing how to reset the Blu - ray region counter of computer player applications to make them multi-region indefinitely are also regularly posted to video enthusiast websites and forums . Unlike DVD region codes , Blu - ray region codes are verified only by the player software , not by the optical drive 's firmware . The latest type of Blu - Ray disc , suitable for UltraHD content , are region - free . Digital rights management ( edit ) The Blu - ray Disc format employs several layers of digital rights management ( DRM ) which restrict the usage of the discs . This has led to extensive criticism of the format by organizations opposed to DRM , such as the Free Software Foundation , and consumers because new releases require player firmware updates to allow disc playback . High - bandwidth digital content protection ( edit ) Blu - ray equipment is required to implement the High - bandwidth Digital Content Protection ( HDCP ) system to encrypt the data sent by players to rendering devices through physical connections . This is aimed at preventing the copying of copyrighted content as it travels across cables . Through a protocol flag in the media stream called the Image Constraint Token ( ICT ) , a Blu - ray Disc can enforce its reproduction in a lower resolution whenever a full HDCP - compliant link is not used . In order to ease the transition to high definition formats , the adoption of this protection method was postponed until 2011 . Advanced access content System ( edit ) The AACS decryption process The Advanced Access Content System ( AACS ) is a standard for content distribution and digital rights management . It was developed by AS Licensing Administrator , LLC ( AACS LA ) , a consortium that includes Disney , Intel , Microsoft , Panasonic , Warner Bros. , IBM , Toshiba , and Sony . Since the appearance of the format on devices in 2006 , several successful attacks have been made on it . The first known attack relied on the trusted client problem . In addition , decryption keys have been extracted from a weakly protected player ( WinDVD ) . Since keys can be revoked in newer releases , this is only a temporary attack , and new keys must continually be discovered in order to decrypt the latest discs . BD+ ( edit ) BD+ was developed by Cryptography Research Inc. and is based on their concept of Self - Protecting Digital Content . BD+ , effectively a small virtual machine embedded in authorized players , allows content providers to include executable programs on Blu - ray Discs . Such programs can : Examine the host environment to see if the player has been tampered with . Every licensed playback device manufacturer must provide the BD+ licensing authority with memory footprints that identify their devices . Verify that the player 's keys have not been changed Execute native code , possibly to patch an otherwise insecure system Transform the audio and video output . Parts of the content will not be viewable without letting the BD+ program unscramble it . If a playback device manufacturer finds that its devices have been hacked , it can potentially release BD+ code that detects and circumvents the vulnerability . These programs can then be included in all new content releases . The specifications of the BD+ virtual machine are available only to licensed device manufacturers . A list of licensed commercial adopters is available from the BD+ website . The first titles using BD+ were released in October 2007 . Since November 2007 , versions of BD+ protection have been circumvented by various versions of the AnyDVD HD program . Other programs known to be capable of circumventing BD+ protection are DumpHD ( versions 0.6 and above , along with some supporting software ) , MakeMKV , and two applications from DVDFab ( Passkey and HD Decrypter ) . BD - ROM Mark ( edit ) BD - ROM Mark is a small amount of cryptographic data that is stored separately from normal Blu - ray Disc data , aiming to prevent replication of the discs . The cryptographic data is needed to decrypt the copyrighted disc content protected by AACS . A specially licensed piece of hardware is required to insert the ROM - Mark into the media during mastering . During replication , this ROM Mark is transferred together with the recorded data to the disc . In consequence , any copies of a disc made with a regular recorder will lack the ROM - Mark data and will be unreadable on standard players . Backward compatibility ( edit ) The Blu - ray Disc Association recommends but does not require that Blu - ray Disc drives be capable of reading standard DVDs and CDs , for backward compatibility . Most Blu - ray Disc players are capable of reading both CDs and DVDs ; however , a few of the early Blu - ray Disc players released in 2006 , such as the Sony BDP - S1 , could play DVDs but not CDs . In addition , Blu - ray players can not play HD DVDs , and HD DVD players can not play Blu - ray discs . Some Blu - ray players can also play Video CDs , and all 4k Blu - ray players can play regular Blu - ray discs , and most can play DVDs and CDs , but there are no known 4k Blu - ray players that can play Video CDs as of October 13 , 2017 . The PlayStation 4 does not support CDs . Variations ( edit ) High Fidelity Pure audio ( BD - a ) ( edit ) Main article : High Fidelity Pure Audio High Fidelity Pure Audio ( HFPA ) is a marketing initiative , spearheaded by the Universal Music Group , for audio - only Blu - ray optical discs . Launched in 2013 as a potential successor to the Compact disc , it has been compared with DVD - A and SACD , which had similar aims . AVCHD ( edit ) Main article : AVCHD AVCHD was originally developed as a high definition format for consumer tapeless camcorders . Derived from the Blu - ray Disc specification , AVCHD shares a similar random access directory structure but is restricted to lower audio and video bitrates , simpler interactivity , and the use of AVC - video and Dolby AC - 3 ( or linear PCM ) audio . Being primarily an acquisition format , AVCHD playback is not recognized by all devices that play Blu - ray Disc . Nevertheless , many such devices are capable of playing AVCHD recordings from removable media , such as DVDs , SD / SDHC memory cards , `` Memory Stick '' cards , and hard disk drives . AVCREC ( edit ) Main article : AVCREC AVCREC uses a BDAV container to record high definition content on conventional DVDs . Presently AVCREC is tightly integrated with the Japanese ISDB broadcast standard and is not marketed outside of Japan . AVCREC is used primarily in set - top digital video recorders and in this regard is comparable to HD REC . Blu - ray 3D ( edit ) The Blu - ray 3D logo The Blu - ray Disc Association ( BDA ) created a task force made up of executives from the film industry and the consumer electronics and IT sectors to help define standards for putting 3D film and 3D television content on a Blu - ray Disc . On December 17 , 2009 , the BDA officially announced 3D specs for Blu - ray Disc , allowing backward compatibility with current 2D Blu - ray players . The BDA has said , `` The Blu - ray 3D specification calls for encoding 3D video using the `` Stereo High '' profile defined by Multiview Video Coding ( MVC ) , an extension to the ITU - T H. 264 Advanced Video Coding ( AVC ) codec currently implemented by all Blu - ray Disc players . MPEG4 - MVC compresses both left and right eye views with a typical 50 % overhead compared to equivalent 2D content , and can provide full 1080p resolution backward compatibility with current 2D Blu - ray Disc players . '' This means the MVC ( 3D ) stream is backward compatible with H. 264 / AVC ( 2D ) stream , allowing older 2D devices and software to decode stereoscopic video streams , ignoring additional information for the second view . Sony added Blu - ray 3D support to its PlayStation 3 console via a firmware upgrade on 21 September 2010 . The console had previously gained 3D gaming capability via an update on 21 April 2010 . Since the version 3.70 software update in August 9 , 2011 , the PlayStation 3 can play DTS - HD Master Audio and DTS - HD High Resolution Audio while playing 3D Blu - ray . Dolby TrueHD is used on a small minority of Blu - ray 3D releases , and bitstreaming implemented in slim PlayStation 3 models only ( original `` fat '' PS3 models decode internally and send audio as LPCM ) . Ultra HD Blu - ray ( edit ) Main article : Ultra HD Blu - ray Ultra HD Blu - ray is a new disc format , incompatible with existing Blu - ray Disc players , that supports 60fps 4K UHD video encoded in HEVC with 10 - bit HDR and a wider color gamut .

"Also, behind closed doors at CES 2007, Ritek revealed that they had successfully developed a High Definition optical disc process that extends the disc capacity to ten layers, which increases the capacity of the discs to 250 GB. However, they noted that the major obstacle is that current read/write technology does not allow additional layers.[75] JVC has developed a three-layer technology that allows putting both standard-definition DVD data and HD data on a BD/(standard) DVD combination.[76] This would have enabled the consumer to purchase a disc that can be played on DVD players and can also reveal its HD version when played on a BD player.[77] Japanese optical disc manufacturer Infinity announced the first \"hybrid\" Blu-ray Disc/(standard) DVD combo, to be released February 18, 2009. This disc set of the TV series \"Code Blue\" featured four hybrid discs containing a single Blu-ray Disc layer (25 GB) and two DVD layers (9 GB) on the same side of the disc.[78]"

It is the traditional homeland of the Tibetan people as well as some other ethnic groups such as Monpa , Qiang , and Lhoba peoples and is now also inhabited by considerable numbers of Han Chinese and Hui people . Tibet is the highest region on Earth , with an average elevation of 4,900 metres ( 16,000 ft ) . The highest elevation in Tibet is Mount Everest , Earth 's highest mountain , rising 8,848 m ( 29,029 ft ) above sea level . The Tibetan Empire emerged in the 7th century , but with the fall of the empire the region soon divided into a variety of territories . The bulk of western and central Tibet ( Ü - Tsang ) was often at least nominally unified under a series of Tibetan governments in Lhasa , Shigatse , or nearby locations ; these governments were at various times under Mongol and Chinese overlordship . Thus Tibet remained a suzerainty of the Mongol and later Chinese rulers in Nanjing and Beijing , with reasonable autonomy given to the Tibetan leaders . The eastern regions of Kham and Amdo often maintained a more decentralized indigenous political structure , being divided among a number of small principalities and tribal groups , while also often falling more directly under Chinese rule after the Battle of Chamdo . Most of this area was eventually incorporated into the Chinese provinces of Sichuan and Qinghai . The current borders of Tibet were generally established in the 18th century . Following the Xinhai Revolution against the Qing dynasty in 1912 , Qing soldiers were disarmed and escorted out of Tibet Area ( Ü - Tsang ) . The region subsequently declared its independence in 1913 without recognition by the subsequent Chinese Republican government . Later , Lhasa took control of the western part of Xikang , China . The region maintained its autonomy until 1951 when , following the Battle of Chamdo , Tibet became incorporated into the People 's Republic of China , and the previous Tibetan government was abolished in 1959 after a failed uprising . Today , China governs western and central Tibet as the Tibet Autonomous Region while the eastern areas are now mostly ethnic autonomous prefectures within Sichuan , Qinghai and other neighbouring provinces . There are tensions regarding Tibet 's political status and dissident groups that are active in exile . Tibetan activists in Tibet have been arrested or tortured . The economy of Tibet is dominated by subsistence agriculture , though tourism has become a growing industry in recent decades . The dominant religion in Tibet is Tibetan Buddhism ; in addition there is Bön , which is similar to Tibetan Buddhism , and there are also Tibetan Muslims and Christian minorities . Tibetan Buddhism is a primary influence on the art , music , and festivals of the region . Tibetan architecture reflects Chinese and Indian influences . Staple foods in Tibet are roasted barley , yak meat , and butter tea .

The Standard Tibetan pronunciation of Bod , ( phøʔ ˨ ˧ ˨ ) , is transcribed Bhö in Tournadre Phonetic Transcription , Bö in the THL Simplified Phonetic Transcription and Poi in Tibetan pinyin . Some scholars believe the first written reference to Bod `` Tibet '' was the ancient Bautai people recorded in the Egyptian Greek works Periplus of the Erythraean Sea ( 1st century CE ) and Geographia ( Ptolemy , 2nd century CE ) , itself from the Sanskrit form Bhauṭṭa of the Indian geographical tradition . The modern Standard Chinese exonym for the ethnic Tibetan region is Zangqu ( Chinese : 藏 区 ; pinyin : Zàngqū ) , which derives by metonymy from the Tsang region around Shigatse plus the addition of a Chinese suffix , 区 qū , which means `` area , district , region , ward '' . Tibetan people , language , and culture , regardless of where they are from , are referred to as Zang ( Chinese : 藏 ; pinyin : Zàng ) although the geographical term Xīzàng is often limited to the Tibet Autonomous Region . The term Xīzàng was coined during the Qing dynasty in the reign of the Jiaqing Emperor ( 1796 -- 1820 ) through the addition of a prefix meaning `` west '' ( 西 xī ) to Zang . The best - known medieval Chinese name for Tibet is Tubo ( Chinese : 吐蕃 also written as 土 蕃 or 土 番 ; pinyin : Tǔbō or Tǔfān ) . This name first appears in Chinese characters as 土 番 in the 7th century ( Li Tai ) and as 吐蕃 in the 10th - century ( Old Book of Tang describing 608 -- 609 emissaries from Tibetan King Namri Songtsen to Emperor Yang of Sui ) . In the Middle Chinese spoken during that period , as reconstructed by William H. Baxter , 土 番 was pronounced thu x-phjon and 吐蕃 was pronounced thu x-pjon ( with the x representing tone ) . Other pre-modern Chinese names for Tibet include Wusiguo ( Chinese : 烏 斯 國 ; pinyin : Wūsīguó ; cf . Tibetan dbus , Ü , ( wyʔ ˨ ˧ ˨ ) ) , Wusizang ( Chinese : 烏 斯 藏 ; pinyin : wūsīzàng , cf . Tibetan dbus - gtsang , Ü - Tsang ) , Tubote ( Chinese : 圖 伯 特 ; pinyin : Túbótè ) , and Tanggute ( Chinese : 唐古 忒 ; pinyin : Tánggǔtè , cf . Tangut ) . American Tibetologist Elliot Sperling has argued in favor of a recent tendency by some authors writing in Chinese to revive the term Tubote ( simplified Chinese : 图 伯 特 ; traditional Chinese : 圖 伯 特 ; pinyin : Túbótè ) for modern use in place of Xizang , on the grounds that Tubote more clearly includes the entire Tibetan plateau rather than simply the Tibet Autonomous Region . The English word Tibet or Thibet dates back to the 18th century . Historical linguists generally agree that `` Tibet '' names in European languages are loanwords from Semitic Ṭībat or Tūbātt ( طيبة ، توبات ) ( טובּה , טובּת ) , itself deriving from Turkic Töbäd , literally : `` The Heights '' ( plural of töbän ) . Language Main article : Standard Tibetan Linguists generally classify the Tibetan language as a Tibeto - Burman language of the Sino - Tibetan language family although the boundaries between ' Tibetan ' and certain other Himalayan languages can be unclear . According to Matthew Kapstein : From the perspective of historical linguistics , Tibetan most closely resembles Burmese among the major languages of Asia . Grouping these two together with other apparently related languages spoken in the Himalayan lands , as well as in the highlands of Southeast Asia and the Sino - Tibetan frontier regions , linguists have generally concluded that there exists a Tibeto - Burman family of languages . More controversial is the theory that the Tibeto - Burman family is itself part of a larger language family , called Sino - Tibetan , and that through it Tibetan and Burmese are distant cousins of Chinese . Tibetan family in Kham attending a horse festival The language has numerous regional dialects which are generally not mutually intelligible . It is employed throughout the Tibetan plateau and Bhutan and is also spoken in parts of Nepal and northern India , such as Sikkim . In general , the dialects of central Tibet ( including Lhasa ) , Kham , Amdo and some smaller nearby areas are considered Tibetan dialects . Other forms , particularly Dzongkha , Sikkimese , Sherpa , and Ladakhi , are considered by their speakers , largely for political reasons , to be separate languages . However , if the latter group of Tibetan - type languages are included in the calculation , then ' greater Tibetan ' is spoken by approximately 6 million people across the Tibetan Plateau . Tibetan is also spoken by approximately 150,000 exile speakers who have fled from modern - day Tibet to India and other countries . Although spoken Tibetan varies according to the region , the written language , based on Classical Tibetan , is consistent throughout . This is probably due to the long - standing influence of the Tibetan empire , whose rule embraced ( and extended at times far beyond ) the present Tibetan linguistic area , which runs from northern Pakistan in the west to Yunnan and Sichuan in the east , and from north of Qinghai Lake south as far as Bhutan . The Tibetan language has its own script which it shares with Ladakhi and Dzongkha , and which is derived from the ancient Indian Brāhmī script . Starting in 2001 , the local deaf sign languages of Tibet were standardized , and Tibetan Sign Language is now being promoted across the country . The first Tibetan - English dictionary and grammar book was written by Alexander Csoma de Kőrös in 1834 . History Main article : History of Tibet Further information : History of European exploration in Tibet and Foreign relations of Tibet King Songtsen Gampo Early History Main articles : Neolithic Tibet , Zhangzhung , and Pre-Imperial Tibet Humans inhabited the Tibetan Plateau at least 21,000 years ago . This population was largely replaced around 3,000 BP by Neolithic immigrants from northern China , but there is a partial genetic continuity between the Paleolithic inhabitants and contemporary Tibetan populations . The earliest Tibetan historical texts identify the Zhang Zhung culture as a people who migrated from the Amdo region into what is now the region of Guge in western Tibet . Zhang Zhung is considered to be the original home of the Bön religion . By the 1st century BCE , a neighboring kingdom arose in the Yarlung valley , and the Yarlung king , Drigum Tsenpo , attempted to remove the influence of the Zhang Zhung by expelling the Zhang 's Bön priests from Yarlung . He was assassinated and Zhang Zhung continued its dominance of the region until it was annexed by Songtsen Gampo in the 7th century . Prior to Songtsen Gampo , the kings of Tibet were more mythological than factual , and there is insufficient evidence of their existence . Tibetan Empire Main article : Tibetan Empire Map of the Tibetan Empire at its greatest extent between the 780s and the 790s CE The history of a unified Tibet begins with the rule of Songtsen Gampo ( 604 -- 650 CE ) , who united parts of the Yarlung River Valley and founded the Tibetan Empire . He also brought in many reforms , and Tibetan power spread rapidly , creating a large and powerful empire . It is traditionally considered that his first wife was the Princess of Nepal , Bhrikuti , and that she played a great role in the establishment of Buddhism in Tibet . In 640 he married Princess Wencheng , the niece of the powerful Chinese emperor Taizong of Tang China . Under the next few Tibetan kings , Buddhism became established as the state religion and Tibetan power increased even further over large areas of Central Asia , while major inroads were made into Chinese territory , even reaching the Tang 's capital Chang'an ( modern Xi'an ) in late 763 . However , the Tibetan occupation of Chang'an only lasted for fifteen days , after which they were defeated by Tang and its ally , the Turkic Uyghur Khaganate . The Kingdom of Nanzhao ( in Yunnan and neighbouring regions ) remained under Tibetan control from 750 to 794 , when they turned on their Tibetan overlords and helped the Chinese inflict a serious defeat on the Tibetans . In 747 , the hold of Tibet was loosened by the campaign of general Gao Xianzhi , who tried to re-open the direct communications between Central Asia and Kashmir . By 750 , the Tibetans had lost almost all of their central Asian possessions to the Chinese . However , after Gao Xianzhi 's defeat by the Arabs and Qarluqs at the Battle of Talas ( 751 ) and the subsequent civil war known as the An Lushan Rebellion ( 755 ) , Chinese influence decreased rapidly and Tibetan influence resumed . At its height in the 780 's to 790 's the Tibetan Empire reached its highest glory when it ruled and controlled a territory stretching from modern day Afghanistan , Bangladesh , Bhutan , Burma , China , India , Nepal , Pakistan , Kazakhstan , Kyrgyzstan , Tajikistan . In 821 / 822 CE Tibet and China signed a peace treaty . A bilingual account of this treaty , including details of the borders between the two countries , is inscribed on a stone pillar which stands outside the Jokhang temple in Lhasa . Tibet continued as a Central Asian empire until the mid-9th century , when a civil war over succession led to the collapse of imperial Tibet . The period that followed is known traditionally as the Era of Fragmentation , when political control over Tibet became divided between regional warlords and tribes with no dominant centralized authority . An Islamic invasion from Bengal took place in 1206 . Yuan dynasty Main articles : Mongol conquest of Tibet and Tibet under Yuan rule The Mongol Yuan dynasty , c. 1294 . The Mongol Yuan dynasty , through the Bureau of Buddhist and Tibetan Affairs , or Xuanzheng Yuan , ruled Tibet through a top - level administrative department . One of the department 's purposes was to select a dpon - chen ( ' great administrator ' ) , usually appointed by the lama and confirmed by the Mongol emperor in Beijing . The Sakya lama retained a degree of autonomy , acting as the political authority of the region , while the dpon - chen held administrative and military power . Mongol rule of Tibet remained separate from the main provinces of China , but the region existed under the administration of the Yuan dynasty . If the Sakya lama ever came into conflict with the dpon - chen , the dpon - chen had the authority to send Chinese troops into the region . Tibet retained nominal power over religious and regional political affairs , while the Mongols managed a structural and administrative rule over the region , reinforced by the rare military intervention . This existed as a `` diarchic structure '' under the Yuan emperor , with power primarily in favor of the Mongols . Mongolian prince Khuden gained temporal power in Tibet in the 1240s and sponsored Sakya Pandita , whose seat became the capital of Tibet . Drogön Chögyal Phagpa , Sakya Pandita 's nephew became Imperial Preceptor of Kublai Khan , founder of the Yuan dynasty . Yuan control over the region ended with the Ming overthrow of the Yuan and Tai Situ Changchub Gyaltsen 's revolt against the Mongols . Following the uprising , Tai Situ Changchub Gyaltsen founded the Phagmodrupa Dynasty , and sought to reduce Yuan influences over Tibetan culture and politics . Phagmodrupa , Rinpungpa and Tsangpa dynasties Main articles : Phagmodrupa Dynasty , Rinpungpa , and Tsangpa Further information : Sino - Tibetan relations during the Ming dynasty Between 1346 and 1354 , Tai Situ Changchub Gyaltsen toppled the Sakya and founded the Phagmodrupa Dynasty . The following 80 years saw the founding of the Gelug school ( also known as Yellow Hats ) by the disciples of Je Tsongkhapa , and the founding of the important Ganden , Drepung and Sera monasteries near Lhasa . However , internal strife within the dynasty and the strong localism of the various fiefs and political - religious factions led to a long series of internal conflicts . The minister family Rinpungpa , based in Tsang ( West Central Tibet ) , dominated politics after 1435 . In 1565 they were overthrown by the Tsangpa Dynasty of Shigatse which expanded its power in different directions of Tibet in the following decades and favoured the Karma Kagyu sect .

Tibet in 1892 during the Qing dynasty . Main article : Ganden Phodrang In 1578 , Altan Khan of the Tümed Mongols gave Sonam Gyatso , a high lama of the Gelugpa school , the name Dalai Lama , Dalai being the Mongolian translation of the Tibetan name Gyatso `` Ocean '' . The 5th Dalai Lama is known for unifying the Tibetan heartland under the control of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism , after defeating the rival Kagyu and Jonang sects and the secular ruler , the Tsangpa prince , in a prolonged civil war . His efforts were successful in part because of aid from Güshi Khan , the Oirat leader of the Khoshut Khanate . With Güshi Khan as a largely uninvolved overlord , the 5th Dalai Lama and his intimates established a civil administration which is referred to by historians as the Lhasa state . This Tibetan regime or government is also referred to as the Ganden Phodrang . Qing dynasty Main articles : Chinese expedition to Tibet ( 1720 ) and Tibet under Qing rule Qing dynasty rule in Tibet began with their 1720 expedition to the country when they expelled the invading Dzungars . Amdo came under Qing control in 1724 , and eastern Kham was incorporated into neighbouring Chinese provinces in 1728 . Meanwhile , the Qing government sent resident commissioners called Ambans to Lhasa . In 1750 the Ambans and the majority of the Han Chinese and Manchus living in Lhasa were killed in a riot , and Qing troops arrived quickly and suppressed the rebels in the next year . Like the preceding Yuan dynasty , the Manchus of the Qing dynasty exerted military and administrative control of the region , while granting it a degree of political autonomy . The Qing commander publicly executed a number of supporters of the rebels and , as in 1723 and 1728 , made changes in the political structure and drew up a formal organization plan . The Qing now restored the Dalai Lama as ruler , leading the governing council called Kashag , but elevated the role of Ambans to include more direct involvement in Tibetan internal affairs . At the same time the Qing took steps to counterbalance the power of the aristocracy by adding officials recruited from the clergy to key posts . For several decades , peace reigned in Tibet , but in 1792 the Qing Qianlong Emperor sent a large Chinese army into Tibet to push the invading Nepalese out . This prompted yet another Qing reorganization of the Tibetan government , this time through a written plan called the `` Twenty - Nine Regulations for Better Government in Tibet '' . Qing military garrisons staffed with Qing troops were now also established near the Nepalese border . Tibet was dominated by the Manchus in various stages in the 18th century , and the years immediately following the 1792 regulations were the peak of the Qing imperial commissioners ' authority ; but there was no attempt to make Tibet a Chinese province . In 1834 the Sikh Empire invaded and annexed Ladakh , a culturally Tibetan region that was an independent kingdom at the time . Seven years later a Sikh army led by General Zorawar Singh invaded western Tibet from Ladakh , starting the Sino - Sikh War . A Qing - Tibetan army repelled the invaders but was in turn defeated when it chased the Sikhs into Ladakh . The war ended with the signing of the Treaty of Chushul between the Chinese and Sikh empires . As the Qing dynasty weakened , its authority over Tibet also gradually declined , and by the mid-19th century its influence was minuscule . Qing authority over Tibet had become more symbolic than real by the late 19th century , although in the 1860s the Tibetans still chose for reasons of their own to emphasize the empire 's symbolic authority and make it seem substantial . This period also saw some contacts with Jesuits and Capuchins from Europe , and in 1774 a Scottish nobleman , George Bogle , came to Shigatse to investigate prospects of trade for the British East India Company . However , in the 19th century the situation of foreigners in Tibet grew more tenuous . The British Empire was encroaching from northern India into the Himalayas , the Emirate of Afghanistan and the Russian Empire were expanding into Central Asia and each power became suspicious of the others ' intentions in Tibet . In 1904 , a British expedition to Tibet , spurred in part by a fear that Russia was extending its power into Tibet as part of The Great Game , invaded the country , hoping that negotiations with the 13th Dalai Lama would be more effective than with Chinese representatives . When the British - led invasion reached Tibet on December 12 , 1903 , an armed confrontation with the ethnic Tibetans resulted in the Massacre of Chumik Shenko , which resulted in 600 fatalities amongst the Tibetan forces , compared to only 12 on the British side . Afterwards , in 1904 Francis Younghusband imposed a treaty known as the Treaty of Lhasa , which was subsequently repudiated and was succeeded by a 1906 treaty signed between Britain and China . In 1910 , the Qing government sent a military expedition of its own under Zhao Erfeng to establish direct Manchu - Chinese rule and , in an imperial edict , deposed the Dalai Lama , who fled to British India . Zhao Erfeng defeated the Tibetan military conclusively and expelled the Dalai Lama 's forces from the province . His actions were unpopular , and there was much animosity against him for his mistreatment of civilians and disregard for local culture . Post-qing period Rogyapas , an outcast group , early 20th century . Their hereditary occupation included disposal of corpses and leather work . Main article : Tibet ( 1912 -- 51 ) After the Xinhai Revolution ( 1911 -- 12 ) toppled the Qing dynasty and the last Qing troops were escorted out of Tibet , the new Republic of China apologized for the actions of the Qing and offered to restore the Dalai Lama 's title . The Dalai Lama refused any Chinese title and declared himself ruler of an independent Tibet . In 1913 , Tibet and Mongolia concluded a treaty of mutual recognition . For the next 36 years , the 13th Dalai Lama and the regents who succeeded him governed Tibet . During this time , Tibet fought Chinese warlords for control of the ethnically Tibetan areas in Xikang and Qinghai ( parts of Kham and Amdo ) along the upper reaches of the Yangtze River . In 1914 the Tibetan government signed the Simla Accord with Britain , ceding the South Tibet region to British India . The Chinese government denounced the agreement as illegal . When in the 1930s and 1940s the regents displayed negligence in affairs , the Kuomintang Government of the Republic of China took advantage of this to expand its reach into the territory . From 1950 to present Main article : History of Tibet ( 1950 -- present ) Emerging with control over most of mainland China after the Chinese Civil War , the People 's Republic of China incorporated Tibet in 1950 and negotiated the Seventeen Point Agreement with the newly enthroned 14th Dalai Lama 's government , affirming the People 's Republic of China 's sovereignty but granting the area autonomy . Subsequently , on his journey into exile , the 14th Dalai Lama completely repudiated the agreement , which he has repeated on many occasions . The Chinese used the Dalai Lama to be able to have control of the military 's training and actions . The Dalai Lama had a strong following as many people from Tibet looked at him as their leader from not just a political point of view , but also from a spiritual perspective . After the Dalai Lama 's government fled to Dharamsala , India , during the 1959 Tibetan Rebellion , it established a rival government - in - exile . Afterwards , the Central People 's Government in Beijing renounced the agreement and began implementation of the halted social and political reforms . During the Great Leap Forward , between 200,000 and 1,000,000 Tibetans died , and approximately 6,000 monasteries were destroyed during the Cultural Revolution , thus the vast majority of historic Tibetan architecture was destroyed . In 1962 China and India fought a brief war over the disputed South Tibet and Aksai Chin regions . Although China won the war , Chinese troops withdrew north of the McMahon Line , effectively ceding South Tibet to India . In 1980 , General Secretary and reformist Hu Yaobang visited Tibet and ushered in a period of social , political , and economic liberalization . At the end of the decade , however , before the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 , monks in the Drepung and Sera monasteries started protesting for independence , and so the government halted reforms and started an anti-separatist campaign . Human rights organisations have been critical of the Beijing and Lhasa governments ' approach to human rights in the region when cracking down on separatist convulsions that have occurred around monasteries and cities , most recently in the 2008 Tibetan unrest . Geography Main article : Geography of Tibet Tibet is located on the Tibetan Plateau , the world 's highest region . Himalayas , on the southern rim of the Tibetan plateau All of modern China , including Tibet , is considered a part of East Asia . Historically , some European sources also considered parts of Tibet to lie in Central Asia . Tibet is west of the Central China plain , and within mainland China Tibet is regarded as part of 西部 ( Xībù ) , a term usually translated by Chinese media as `` the Western section '' , meaning `` Western China '' . Yarlung Tsangpo River Tibet is often called the `` roof of the world , because it is a very high plateau . Tibetan Plateau and surrounding areas above 1600 m -- topography . Tibet has some of the world 's tallest mountains , with several of them making the top ten list . Mount Everest , located on the border with Nepal , is , at 8,848 metres ( 29,029 ft ) , the highest mountain on earth . Several major rivers have their source in the Tibetan Plateau ( mostly in present - day Qinghai Province ) . These include the Yangtze , Yellow River , Indus River , Mekong , Ganges , Salween and the Yarlung Tsangpo River ( Brahmaputra River ) . The Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon , along the Yarlung Tsangpo River , is among the deepest and longest canyons in the world . Tibet has been called the `` Water Tower '' of Asia , and China is investing heavily in water projects in Tibet . The Indus and Brahmaputra rivers originate from a lake ( Tib : Tso Mapham ) in Western Tibet , near Mount Kailash . The mountain is a holy pilgrimage site for both Hindus and Tibetans . The Hindus consider the mountain to be the abode of Lord Shiva . The Tibetan name for Mt . Kailash is Khang Rinpoche . Tibet has numerous high - altitude lakes referred to in Tibetan as tso or co . These include Qinghai Lake , Lake Manasarovar , Namtso , Pangong Tso , Yamdrok Lake , Siling Co , Lhamo La - tso , Lumajangdong Co , Lake Puma Yumco , Lake Paiku , Como Chamling , Lake Rakshastal , Dagze Co and Dong Co . The Qinghai Lake ( Koko Nor ) is the largest lake in the People 's Republic of China . The atmosphere is severely dry nine months of the year , and average annual snowfall is only 18 inches ( 46 cm ) , due to the rain shadow effect . Western passes receive small amounts of fresh snow each year but remain traversible all year round . Low temperatures are prevalent throughout these western regions , where bleak desolation is unrelieved by any vegetation bigger than a low bush , and where wind sweeps unchecked across vast expanses of arid plain . The Indian monsoon exerts some influence on eastern Tibet . Northern Tibet is subject to high temperatures in the summer and intense cold in the winter . Cultural Tibet consists of several regions . These include Amdo ( A mdo ) in the northeast , which is administratively part of the provinces of Qinghai , Gansu and Sichuan . Kham ( Khams ) in the southeast encompasses parts of western Sichuan , northern Yunnan , southern Qinghai and the eastern part of the Tibet Autonomous Region . Ü - Tsang ( dBus gTsang ) ( Ü in the center , Tsang in the center - west , and Ngari ( mNga ' ris ) in the far west ) covered the central and western portion of Tibet Autonomous Region . Tibetan cultural influences extend to the neighboring states of Bhutan , Nepal , regions of India such as Sikkim , Ladakh , Lahaul , and Spiti , Northern Pakistan baltistan or Balti - yul in addition to designated Tibetan autonomous areas in adjacent Chinese provinces . Cities , towns and villages Further information : List of populated places in the Tibet Autonomous Region Looking across the square at Jokhang temple , Lhasa There are over 800 settlements in Tibet . Lhasa is Tibet 's traditional capital and the capital of Tibet Autonomous Region . It contains two world heritage sites -- the Potala Palace and Norbulingka , which were the residences of the Dalai Lama . Lhasa contains a number of significant temples and monasteries , including Jokhang and Ramoche Temple . Shigatse is the second largest city in the Tibet AR , west of Lhasa . Gyantse and Qamdo are also amongst the largest . Other cities and towns in cultural Tibet include Shiquanhe ( Ali ) , Nagchu , Bamda , Rutog , Nyingchi , Nedong , Coqên , Barkam , Sakya , Gartse , Pelbar , Lhatse , and Tingri ; in Sichuan , Kangding ( Dartsedo ) ; in Qinghai , Jyekundo ( Yushu ) , Machen , and Golmud ; in India , Tawang , Leh , and Gangtok , In Pakistan Skardu , khapulu Government Main article : Tibet Autonomous Region § Government The central region of Tibet is an autonomous region within China , the Tibet Autonomous Region . The Tibet Autonomous Region is a province - level entity of the People 's Republic of China . It is governed by a People 's Government , led by a Chairman . In practice , however , the Chairman is subordinate to the branch secretary of the Communist Party of China . As a matter of convention , the Chairman has almost always been an ethnic Tibetan , while the party secretary has always been ethnically non-Tibetan . Economy Main article : Economy of Tibet The Tibetan yak is an integral part of Tibetan life The Tibetan economy is dominated by subsistence agriculture . Due to limited arable land , the primary occupation of the Tibetan Plateau is raising livestock , such as sheep , cattle , goats , camels , yaks , dzo , and horses . The dogs of Tibet are twice the size of those seen in India , with large heads and hairy bodies . They are powerful animals , and are said to be able to kill a tiger . During the day they are kept chained up , and are let loose at night to guard their masters ' house . The main crops grown are barley , wheat , buckwheat , rye , potatoes , and assorted fruits and vegetables . Tibet is ranked the lowest among China 's 31 provinces on the Human Development Index according to UN Development Programme data . In recent years , due to increased interest in Tibetan Buddhism , tourism has become an increasingly important sector , and is actively promoted by the authorities . Tourism brings in the most income from the sale of handicrafts . These include Tibetan hats , jewelry ( silver and gold ) , wooden items , clothing , quilts , fabrics , Tibetan rugs and carpets . The Central People 's Government exempts Tibet from all taxation and provides 90 % of Tibet 's government expenditures . However most of this investment goes to pay migrant workers who do not settle in Tibet and send much of their income home to other provinces . 40 % of the rural cash income in the Tibet Autonomous Region is derived from the harvesting of the fungus Cordyceps sinensis ; contributing at least 1.8 billion yuan , ( 225 million USD ) to the region 's GDP . Farmers ' market in Lhasa The Qingzang railway linking the Tibet Autonomous Region to Qinghai Province was opened in 2006 , but not without controversy . In January 2007 , the Chinese government issued a report outlining the discovery of a large mineral deposit under the Tibetan Plateau . The deposit has an estimated value of $128 billion and may double Chinese reserves of zinc , copper , and lead . The Chinese government sees this as a way to alleviate the nation 's dependence on foreign mineral imports for its growing economy . However , critics worry that mining these vast resources will harm Tibet 's fragile ecosystem and undermine Tibetan culture . On January 15 , 2009 , China announced the construction of Tibet 's first expressway , a 37.9 km ( 23.5 mi ) stretch of controlled - access highway in southwestern Lhasa . The project will cost 1.55 billion yuan ( US $227 million ) . From January 18 -- 20 , 2010 a national conference on Tibet and areas inhabited by Tibetans in Sichuan , Yunnan , Gansu and Qinghai was held in China and a substantial plan to improve development of the areas was announced . The conference was attended by General secretary Hu Jintao , Wu Bangguo , Wen Jiabao , Jia Qinglin , Li Changchun , Xi Jinping , Li Keqiang , He Guoqiang and Zhou Yongkang , all members of CPC Politburo Standing Committee signaling the commitment of senior Chinese leaders to development of Tibet and ethnic Tibetan areas . The plan calls for improvement of rural Tibetan income to national standards by 2020 and free education for all rural Tibetan children . China has invested 310 billion yuan ( about 45.6 billion U.S. dollars ) in Tibet since 2001 . `` Tibet 's GDP was expected to reach 43.7 billion yuan in 2009 , up 170 percent from that in 2000 and posting an annual growth of 12.3 percent over the past nine years . '' Development zone The State Council approved Tibet Lhasa Economic and Technological Development Zone as a state - level development zone in 2001 . It is located in the western suburbs of Lhasa , the capital of the Tibet Autonomous Region . It is 50 kilometres ( 31 miles ) away from the Gonggar Airport , and 2 km ( 1.2 mi ) away from Lhasa Railway Station and 2 km ( 1.2 mi ) away from 318 national highway . The zone has a planned area of 5.46 km ( 2.11 sq mi ) and is divided into two zones . Zone A developed a land area of 2.51 km ( 0.97 sq mi ) for construction purposes . It is a flat zone , and has the natural conditions for good drainage . Demographics See also : History of Tibet ( 1950 -- present ) and Demographics of Tibet Autonomous Region Tibetan Lamanis , c. 1905 An elderly Tibetan woman in Lhasa Historically , the population of Tibet consisted of primarily ethnic Tibetans and some other ethnic groups . According to tradition the original ancestors of the Tibetan people , as represented by the six red bands in the Tibetan flag , are : the Se , Mu , Dong , Tong , Dru and Ra . Other traditional ethnic groups with significant population or with the majority of the ethnic group residing in Tibet ( excluding a disputed area with India ) include Bai people , Blang , Bonan , Dongxiang , Han , Hui people , Lhoba , Lisu people , Miao , Mongols , Monguor ( Tu people ) , Menba ( Monpa ) , Mosuo , Nakhi , Qiang , Nu people , Pumi , Salar , and Yi people . The proportion of the non-Tibetan population in Tibet is disputed . On the one hand , the Central Tibetan Administration of the Dalai Lama accuses China of actively swamping Tibet with migrants in order to alter Tibet 's demographic makeup . On the other hand , according to the 2010 Chinese census ethnic Tibetans comprise 90 % of a total population of 3 million in the Tibet Autonomous Region . Exact population numbers probably depend on how temporary migrants are counted . Culture Main article : Tibetan culture Religion Main article : Religion in Tibet Buddhism Main article : Tibetan Buddhism Buddhist monks practicing debate in Drepung Monastery Religion is extremely important to the Tibetans and has a strong influence over all aspects of their lives . Bön is the indigenous religion of Tibet , but has been almost eclipsed by Tibetan Buddhism , a distinctive form of Mahayana and Vajrayana , which was introduced into Tibet from the Sanskrit Buddhist tradition of northern India . Tibetan Buddhism is practiced not only in Tibet but also in Mongolia , parts of northern India , the Buryat Republic , the Tuva Republic , and in the Republic of Kalmykia and some other parts of China . During China 's Cultural Revolution , nearly all Tibet 's monasteries were ransacked and destroyed by the Red Guards . A few monasteries have begun to rebuild since the 1980s ( with limited support from the Chinese government ) and greater religious freedom has been granted -- although it is still limited . Monks returned to monasteries across Tibet and monastic education resumed even though the number of monks imposed is strictly limited . Before the 1950s , between 10 and 20 % of males in Tibet were monks . Tibetan Buddhism has four main traditions ( the suffix pa is comparable to `` er '' in English ) : Gelug ( pa ) , Way of Virtue , also known casually as Yellow Hat , whose spiritual head is the Ganden Tripa and whose temporal head is the Dalai Lama . Successive Dalai Lamas ruled Tibet from the mid-17th to mid-20th centuries . This order was founded in the 14th to 15th centuries by Je Tsongkhapa , based on the foundations of the Kadampa tradition . Tsongkhapa was renowned for both his scholasticism and his virtue . The Dalai Lama belongs to the Gelugpa school , and is regarded as the embodiment of the Bodhisattva of Compassion . Kagyu ( pa ) , Oral Lineage . This contains one major subsect and one minor subsect . The first , the Dagpo Kagyu , encompasses those Kagyu schools that trace back to Gampopa . In turn , the Dagpo Kagyu consists of four major sub-sects : the Karma Kagyu , headed by a Karmapa , the Tsalpa Kagyu , the Barom Kagyu , and Pagtru Kagyu . The once - obscure Shangpa Kagyu , which was famously represented by the 20th - century teacher Kalu Rinpoche , traces its history back to the Indian master Niguma , sister of Kagyu lineage holder Naropa . This is an oral tradition which is very much concerned with the experiential dimension of meditation . Its most famous exponent was Milarepa , an 11th - century mystic . Nyingma ( pa ) , The Ancient Ones . This is the oldest , the original order founded by Padmasambhava . Sakya ( pa ) , Grey Earth , headed by the Sakya Trizin , founded by Khon Konchog Gyalpo , a disciple of the great translator Drokmi Lotsawa . Sakya Pandita 1182 -- 1251 CE was the great grandson of Khon Konchog Gyalpo . This school emphasizes scholarship . Christianity The first Christians documented to have reached Tibet were the Nestorians , of whom various remains and inscriptions have been found in Tibet . They were also present at the imperial camp of Möngke Khan at Shira Ordo , where they debated in 1256 with Karma Pakshi ( 1204 / 6 - 83 ) , head of the Karma Kagyu order . Desideri , who reached Lhasa in 1716 , encountered Armenian and Russian merchants . Roman Catholic Jesuits and Capuchins arrived from Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries . Portuguese missionaries Jesuit Father António de Andrade and Brother Manuel Marques first reached the kingdom of Gelu in western Tibet in 1624 and was welcomed by the royal family who allowed them to build a church later on . By 1627 , there were about a hundred local converts in the Guge kingdom . Later on , Christianity was introduced to Rudok , Ladakh and Tsang and was welcomed by the ruler of the Tsang kingdom , where Andrade and his fellows established a Jesuit outpost at Shigatse in 1626 . In 1661 another Jesuit , Johann Grueber , crossed Tibet from Sining to Lhasa ( where he spent a month ) , before heading on to Nepal . He was followed by others who actually built a church in Lhasa . These included the Jesuit Father Ippolito Desideri , 1716 -- 1721 , who gained a deep knowledge of Tibetan culture , language and Buddhism , and various Capuchins in 1707 -- 1711 , 1716 -- 1733 and 1741 -- 1745 , Christianity was used by some Tibetan monarchs and their courts and the Karmapa sect lamas to counterbalance the influence of the Gelugpa sect in the 17th century until in 1745 when all the missionaries were expelled at the lama 's insistence . In 1877 , the Protestant James Cameron from the China Inland Mission walked from Chongqing to Batang in Garzê Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture , Sichuan province , and `` brought the Gospel to the Tibetan people . '' Beginning in the 20th century , in Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan , a large number of Lisu people and some Yi and Nu people converted to Christianity . Famous earlier missionaries include James O. Fraser , Alfred James Broomhall and Isobel Kuhn of the China Inland Mission , among others who were active in this area . Proselytising has been illegal in China since 1949 . But as of 2013 , many Christian missionaries were reported to be active in Tibet with the tacit approval of Chinese authorities , who view the missionaries as a counterforce to Tibetan Buddhism or as a boon to the local economy . Islam Main article : Islam in Tibet Tibetan mosque in Lhasa Muslims have been living in Tibet since as early as the 8th or 9th century . In Tibetan cities , there are small communities of Muslims , known as Kachee ( Kache ) , who trace their origin to immigrants from three main regions : Kashmir ( Kachee Yul in ancient Tibetan ) , Ladakh and the Central Asian Turkic countries . Islamic influence in Tibet also came from Persia . A Muslim Sufi Syed Ali Hamdani preached the people of Baltistan then known as little Tibet . Which became main cause of the cultural separation of the people of Baltistan from the mainstream Tibet . After 1959 a group of Tibetan Muslims made a case for Indian nationality based on their historic roots to Kashmir and the Indian government declared all Tibetan Muslims Indian citizens later on that year . Other Muslim ethnic groups who have long inhabited Tibet include Hui , Salar , Dongxiang and Bonan . There is also a well established Chinese Muslim community ( gya kachee ) , which traces its ancestry back to the Hui ethnic group of China . Tibetan art Main article : Tibetan art A thangka painting in Sikkim A ritual box Tibetan representations of art are intrinsically bound with Tibetan Buddhism and commonly depict deities or variations of Buddha in various forms from bronze Buddhist statues and shrines , to highly colorful thangka paintings and mandalas . Architecture Main article : Architecture in Tibet Tibetan architecture contains Chinese and Indian influences , and reflects a deeply Buddhist approach . The Buddhist wheel , along with two dragons , can be seen on nearly every Gompa in Tibet . The design of the Tibetan Chörtens can vary , from roundish walls in Kham to squarish , four - sided walls in Ladakh . The most distinctive feature of Tibetan architecture is that many of the houses and monasteries are built on elevated , sunny sites facing the south , and are often made out of a mixture of rocks , wood , cement and earth . Little fuel is available for heat or lighting , so flat roofs are built to conserve heat , and multiple windows are constructed to let in sunlight . Walls are usually sloped inwards at 10 degrees as a precaution against the frequent earthquakes in this mountainous area . The Potala Palace Standing at 117 metres ( 384 feet ) in height and 360 metres ( 1,180 feet ) in width , the Potala Palace is the most important example of Tibetan architecture . Formerly the residence of the Dalai Lama , it contains over one thousand rooms within thirteen stories , and houses portraits of the past Dalai Lamas and statues of the Buddha . It is divided between the outer White Palace , which serves as the administrative quarters , and the inner Red Quarters , which houses the assembly hall of the Lamas , chapels , 10,000 shrines , and a vast library of Buddhist scriptures . The Potala Palace is a World Heritage Site , as is Norbulingka , the former summer residence of the Dalai Lama . Music Main article : Music of Tibet The music of Tibet reflects the cultural heritage of the trans - Himalayan region , centered in Tibet but also known wherever ethnic Tibetan groups are found in India , Bhutan , Nepal and further abroad . First and foremost Tibetan music is religious music , reflecting the profound influence of Tibetan Buddhism on the culture . Tibetan music often involves chanting in Tibetan or Sanskrit , as an integral part of the religion . These chants are complex , often recitations of sacred texts or in celebration of various festivals . Yang chanting , performed without metrical timing , is accompanied by resonant drums and low , sustained syllables . Other styles include those unique to the various schools of Tibetan Buddhism , such as the classical music of the popular Gelugpa school , and the romantic music of the Nyingmapa , Sakyapa and Kagyupa schools . Nangma dance music is especially popular in the karaoke bars of the urban center of Tibet , Lhasa . Another form of popular music is the classical gar style , which is performed at rituals and ceremonies . Lu are a type of songs that feature glottal vibrations and high pitches . There are also epic bards who sing of Gesar , who is a hero to ethnic Tibetans . Festivals Main article : Tibetan festivals The Monlam Prayer Festival Tibet has various festivals that are commonly performed to worship the Buddha throughout the year . Losar is the Tibetan New Year Festival . Preparations for the festive event are manifested by special offerings to family shrine deities , painted doors with religious symbols , and other painstaking jobs done to prepare for the event . Tibetans eat Guthuk ( barley noodle soup with filling ) on New Year 's Eve with their families . The Monlam Prayer Festival follows it in the first month of the Tibetan calendar , falling between the fourth and the eleventh days of the first Tibetan month . It involves dancing and participating in sports events , as well as sharing picnics . The event was established in 1049 by Tsong Khapa , the founder of the Dalai Lama and the Panchen Lama 's order . Cuisine Main article : Tibetan cuisine See also : List of Tibetan dishes Thupka with Momo -- Tibetan Style The most important crop in Tibet is barley , and dough made from barley flour -- called tsampa -- is the staple food of Tibet . This is either rolled into noodles or made into steamed dumplings called momos . Meat dishes are likely to be yak , goat , or mutton , often dried , or cooked into a spicy stew with potatoes . Mustard seed is cultivated in Tibet , and therefore features heavily in its cuisine . Yak yogurt , butter and cheese are frequently eaten , and well - prepared yogurt is considered something of a prestige item . Butter tea is very popular to drink .

All Finals have been played in a best - of - seven format , and contested between the winners of the Eastern Conference and the Western Conference ( formerly Divisions before 1970 ) , except in 1950 in which the Eastern Division champion faced the winner between the Western and Central Division champions . Prior to 1949 , the playoffs were instituted a three - stage tournament where the two semifinal winners played each other in the finals . The winning team of the series receives the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy . The home - and - away format in the NBA Finals is in a 2 -- 2 -- 1 -- 1 -- 1 format ( the team with the better regular season record plays on their home court in Games 1 , 2 , 5 and 7 ) during 1947 -- 1948 , 1950 -- 1952 , 1957 -- 1970 , 1972 -- 1974 , 1976 -- 1977 , 1979 -- 1984 , 2014 -- present . It was previously in a 2 -- 3 -- 2 format ( the team with the better regular season record plays on their home court in Games 1 , 2 , 6 and 7 ) during 1949 , 1953 -- 1955 , and 1985 -- 2013 , in a 1 -- 1 -- 1 -- 1 -- 1 -- 1 -- 1 format during 1956 and 1971 and in a 1 -- 2 -- 2 -- 1 -- 1 format during 1975 and 1978 . The Eastern Conference / Division leads the Western Conference / Division in series won ( 38 -- 32 ) . The defunct Central Division won one championship . The Boston Celtics and the Minneapolis / Los Angeles Lakers alone own almost half of the titles , having won a combined 33 of 70 championships . Contents ( hide ) 1 Trophies 1.1 Walter A.

Brown Trophy displayed at the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Walter a Brown trophy ( edit ) The trophy was originally referred to as the NBA Finals trophy , but was renamed in 1964 after Walter A. Brown , the original owner of the Boston Celtics who was instrumental in merging the BAA and the National Basketball League into the NBA in 1949 . The original trophy was awarded to the BAA / NBA champions from 1947 to 1976 . The trophy was kept by the winning team for one year and given to the winning team of the following year 's finals , unless the previous team won again , much like the NHL 's Stanley Cup , which continues that tradition to this day . A new trophy design was created for the 1977 NBA Finals , although it retained the Walter A. Brown title . Unlike the original championship trophy , the new trophy was given permanently to the winning team and a new one was made every year . The inaugural winners of the trophy were the Philadelphia Warriors , who defeated the Chicago Stags . From 1957 to 1969 , the Celtics won the NBA Finals 11 out of 13 times , including eight consecutive wins . The final winners of the trophy were the Philadelphia 76ers , who defeated the Los Angeles Lakers in the 1983 NBA Finals . In 1984 , the trophy was renamed the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy . Larry O'Brien Championship trophy ( edit ) Main article : Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy In 1984 , the trophy was renamed to the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy , in honor of Larry O'Brien , who served as NBA commissioner from 1975 to 1984 . The current trophy is made out of 14.5 pounds of sterling silver and vermeil with a 24 karat gold overlay and stands 2 feet ( 0.61 m ) tall . It is designed to look like a basketball about to enter a net . The year and team names are engraved on the trophies , which are often prominently displayed in the winning team 's arena . The Boston Celtics were the inaugural winners of the renamed trophy , defeating the Los Angeles Lakers in seven games ( 4 -- 3 ) in the 1984 NBA Finals .

-7400082802649804357 | Kefir | Kefir - wikipedia Kefir Not to be confused with Kafir . For the beverage also known as water kefir , see Tibicos . Kefir Alternative names milk kefir , búlgaros Main ingredients milk , kefir grains ( bacteria , salt , yeasts , proteins , lipids , sugar ) Cookbook : Kefir Media : Kefir Kefir or kephir ( / kəˈfɪər / kə - FEER ) , alternatively milk kefir or búlgaros , is a fermented milk drink that originated in the Caucasus Mountains made with kefir `` grains '' , a yeast / bacterial fermentation starter . It is prepared by inoculating cow , goat , or sheep milk with kefir grains . Traditional kefir was made in goatskin bags that were hung near a doorway ; the bag would be knocked by anyone passing through to help keep the milk and kefir grains well mixed . Contents 1 Etymology 2 Overview 3 Nutrition 3.1 Nutritional composition 3.2 Probiotics 4 Production 5 Milk types 6 Regional consumption 7 Culinary uses 8 Possible origin 9 See also 9.1 Other fermented dairy products 9.2 Other fermented beverages 10 References 11 Further reading 12 External links Etymology ( edit ) The word kefir , known in Russian since at least 1884 , is probably of Caucasian origin , although some sources see a connection to Turkic köpür ( foam ) or kef ( a word of Persian origin meaning foam or bubbles ) . Kefir has become the most commonly used term , but other names are found in different geographic regions . Overview ( edit ) This section needs additional citations for verification . Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( March 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Kefir grains , a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeasts Traditional kefir is fermented at ambient temperatures , generally overnight . Fermentation of the lactose yields a sour , carbonated , slightly alcoholic beverage , with a consistency and taste similar to thin yogurt . The kefir grains initiating the fermentation are a combination of lactic acid bacteria and yeasts in a matrix of proteins , lipids , and sugars . This symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast ( or SCOBY ) forms `` grains '' that resemble cauliflower . A complex and highly variable community of lactic acid bacteria and yeasts can be found in these grains , although some predominate ; Lactobacillus species are always present . Even successive batches of kefir may differ due to factors such as the kefir grains rising out of the milk while fermenting or curds forming around the grains , as well as room temperature . Kefir grains contain kefiran , a water - soluble polysaccharide , which imparts a creamy texture and feeling in the mouth . The grains range in color from white ( the acceptable color of healthy grains ) to yellow . The latter is the outcome of leaving the grains in the same milk during fermentation for longer than the optimal 24 - hour period and continually doing so over many batches . Grains may grow to the size of walnuts or even larger . The composition of kefir depends greatly on the type of milk that was fermented , including the concentration of vitamin B . During fermentation , changes in composition of nutrients and other ingredients occur . Lactose , the sugar present in milk , is broken down mostly to lactic acid ( 25 % ) by the lactic acid bacteria , which results in acidification of the product . Propionibacteria further break down some of the lactic acid into propionic acid ( these bacteria also carry out the same fermentation in Swiss cheese ) . A portion of lactose is converted to kefiran , which is indigestible by gastric digestion . Other substances that contribute to the flavor of kefir are pyruvic acid , acetic acid , diacetyl and acetoin ( both of which contribute a `` buttery '' flavor ) , citric acid , acetaldehyde , and amino acids resulting from protein breakdown . Kefir preparation The slow - acting yeasts , late in the fermentation process , break lactose down into ethanol and carbon dioxide . Depending on the process , ethanol concentration can be as high as 1 -- 2 % ( achieved by small - scale dairies early in the 20th century ) , with the kefir having a bubbly appearance and carbonated taste . This makes kefir different from yogurt and most other sour milk products where only bacteria ferment the lactose into acids . Most modern processes , which use shorter fermentation times , result in much lower ethanol concentrations of 0.2 -- 0.3 % . As a result of the fermentation , very little lactose remains in kefir . People with lactose intolerance are able to tolerate kefir , provided the number of live bacteria present in this beverage consumed is high enough ( i.e. , fermentation has proceeded for adequate time ) . It has also been shown that fermented milk products have a slower transit time than milk , which may further improve lactose digestion . For the preparation of commercially - prepared kefir , so - called mild kefir , kefir grains are no longer used , but rather a powdered preparation of bacteria and yeast , allowing the flavor to be kept constant . Variations that thrive in various other liquids exist , and vary markedly from kefir in both appearance and microbial composition . Water kefir ( or tibicos ) is grown for a day or more at room temperature in water with sugar , sometimes with lemon juice and added dry fruit such as figs . Nutrition ( edit ) Nutritional composition ( edit ) Kefir products contain nutrients in varying amounts from negligible to significant , including dietary minerals , vitamins , essential amino acids , and conjugated linoleic acid , in amounts similar to unfermented cow , goat , or sheep milk . At a pH of 4.2 - 4.6 , kefir is composed mainly of water and by - products of the fermentation process , including carbon dioxide and ethanol . Typical of milk , several dietary minerals are found in kefir , such as calcium , iron , phosphorus , magnesium , potassium , sodium , copper , molybdenum , manganese , and zinc in amounts that have not been standardized to a reputable nutrient database . Also similar to milk , kefir contains vitamins in variable amounts , including vitamin A , vitamin B ( thiamine ) , vitamin B ( riboflavin ) , vitamin B ( niacin ) , vitamin B ( pyridoxine ) , vitamin B ( folic acid ) , vitamin B ( cyanocobalamin ) , vitamin C , vitamin D , and vitamin E. Essential amino acids found in kefir include methionine , cysteine , tryptophan , phenylalanine , tyrosine , leucine , isoleucine , threonine , lysine , and valine , as for any milk product . Probiotics ( edit ) Probiotic bacteria found in kefir products include Lactobacillus acidophilus , Bifidobacterium bifidum , Streptococcus thermophilus , Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp . bulgaricus , Lactobacillus helveticus , Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens , Lactococcus lactis , and Leuconostoc species . Lactobacilli in kefir may exist in concentrations varying from approximately 1 million to 1 billion colony - forming units per milliliter and are the bacteria responsible for the synthesis of the polysaccharide kefiran . In addition to bacteria , kefir often contains strains of yeast that can metabolize lactose , such as Kluyveromyces marxianus , Kluyveromyces lactis , and Saccharomyces fragilis , as well as strains of yeast that do not metabolize lactose , including Saccharomyces cerevisiae , Torulaspora delbrueckii , and Kazachstania unispora . The nutritional significance of these strains is unknown . Production ( edit ) This section needs additional citations for verification .

( March 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) 90 grams of kefir grains Production of traditional kefir requires a starter community of kefir grains which are added to milk . The traditional or artisanal method of making kefir is to add 2 -- 10 % kefir grains directly to milk in a sealed goatskin leather bag , which is traditionally agitated one or more times a day . Today the leather bag is replaced with a corrosion - resistant container such as a glass jar . It is not filled to capacity , allowing room for some expansion , as the carbon dioxide gas produced causes the liquid level to rise . Non-lightproof containers are stored in the dark to prevent degradation of light - sensitive vitamins . After a period of fermentation lasting around 24 hours , ideally at 20 -- 25 ° C ( 68 -- 77 ° F ) , the grains are strained from the liquid using a corrosion - resistant ( stainless steel or plastic ) utensil and kept as the starter for another batch . The fermented liquid - kefir , which contains live micro-organisms from the grains , may be drunk , used in recipes , or kept aside in a sealed container for many days to undergo a slower secondary fermentation in which bio-synthesis by certain micro-organisms increases the content of folic acid and some other B vitamins , and the kefir becomes sourer . The shelf life , unrefrigerated , is up to thirty days . The grains enlarge in the process of kefir production and eventually split . The Russian method permits production of kefir on a larger scale and uses two fermentations . The first step is to prepare the cultures by incubating milk with 2 -- 3 % grains as described . The grains are then removed by filtration and 1 -- 3 % of the resulting liquid mother culture is added to milk and fermented for 12 to 18 hours . Kefir can be made using freeze - dried cultures commonly available in powder form from health food stores . A portion of the resulting kefir can be saved to be used a number of times to propagate further fermentations but ultimately does not form grains , so a fresh culture must be obtained . Milk types ( edit ) Kefir grains will ferment the milk from most mammals and will continue to grow in such milk . Typical animal milks used include cow , goat , and sheep , each with varying organoleptic ( flavor , aroma , and texture ) and nutritional qualities . Raw milk has been traditionally used . Kefir grains will also ferment milk substitutes such as soy milk , rice milk , nut milk and coconut milk , as well as other sugary liquids including fruit juice , coconut water , beer wort , and ginger beer . However , the kefir grains may cease growing if the medium used does not contain all the growth factors required by the bacteria . Milk sugar is not essential for the synthesis of the polysaccharide that makes up the grains ( kefiran ) , and rice hydrolysate is a suitable alternative medium . Additionally , kefir grains will reproduce when fermenting soy milk , although they will change in appearance and size due to the differing proteins available to them . Regional Consumption ( edit ) Kefir , first consumed in the Caucasus , Russia and Central Asian countries for centuries , spread to the rest of Europe , Japan , the United States by early 21st century . In Chile , where it is known as `` yogur de pajaritos '' ( little birds ' yogurt ) , kefir has been regularly consumed for over a century . Culinary uses ( edit ) Lithuanian kefir - based borscht ( šaltibarščiai ) As it contains Lactobacillus bacteria , kefir can be used to make a sourdough bread . It is also useful as a buttermilk substitute in baking . Kefir is one of the main ingredients in borscht in Lithuania , also known in Poland as Lithuanian cold soup ( chłodnik litewski ) , and other countries . Kefir - based soup okroshka is popular across the former Soviet Union . Kefir may be used in place of milk on cereal , granola , milkshakes , soup , salad dressing , ice cream , smoothies and soup . Possible origin ( edit ) Despite intensive research and many attempts to produce kefir grains from the pure or mixed cultures that are normally present in the grains , no successful results have been reported .

1662494701395010889 | Robin Hood | Robin Hood - wikipedia Robin Hood For other uses , see Robin Hood ( disambiguation ) . Robin Hood Robin Hood statue in Nottingham by James Woodford Nationality English Other names Robin of Sherwood , Robin of Loxley , ' Robyn Hode ' and similar . Occupation Heroic outlaw Robin Hood is a legendary heroic outlaw originally depicted in English folklore and subsequently featured in literature and film . According to legend , he was a highly skilled archer and swordsman . In some versions of the legend he is depicted as being of noble birth , and having fought in the Crusades before returning to England to find his lands taken by the Sheriff . In other versions this is not the case and he is instead born into the yeoman class . Traditionally depicted dressed in Lincoln green , he is said to have robbed from the rich and given to the poor . Through retellings , additions , and variations a body of familiar characters associated with Robin Hood have been created . These include his lover , Maid Marian , his band of outlaws , the Merry Men , and his chief opponent , the Sheriff of Nottingham . The Sheriff is often depicted as assisting Prince John in usurping the rightful but absent King Richard , to whom Robin Hood remains loyal . A common theme of the story is that Robin is a champion of the common people fighting against injustice , whilst remaining loyal to the rightful ruler . He became a popular folk figure in the Late Middle Ages , and the earliest known ballads featuring him are from the 15th century . There have been numerous variations and adaptations of the story over the last six hundred years , and the story continues to be widely represented in literature , film and television . Robin Hood is considered one of the best known tales of English folklore . The historicity of Robin Hood is not conclusively proven and has been debated for centuries . There are numerous references to historical figures with similar names that have been proposed as possible evidence of his existence , some dating back to the late 13th century . At least eight plausible origins to the story have been mooted by historians and folklorists , including suggestions that `` Robin Hood '' was a stock alias used by outlaws in general who did not want to reveal their identity . Contents 1 Ballads and tales 1.1 Early ballads 1.2 Early plays , May Day games and fairs 1.3 Robin Hood on the early modern stage 1.4 Broadside ballads and garlands 1.5 Rediscovery of the Medieval Robin Hood : Percy and Ritson 1.6 The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood 1.7 20th century onwards 1.8 Films , animations , new concepts and other adaptations 1.8. 1 Walt Disney 's Robin Hood 1.8. 2 Robin and Marian 1.8. 3 A Muslim among the Merry Men 1.8. 4 Robin Hood in France 2 Historicity 2.1 Early references 2.2 Robin Hood of York 2.3 Robert and John Deyville 2.4 Roger Godberd as Robin Hood 2.5 Robin Hood of Wakefield 2.6 Robin Hood as an alias 2.7 Native American Chief Robin Hood in Early Colonial New England 3 Mythology 4 Associated locations 4.1 Sherwood Forest 4.2 Nottinghamshire 4.3 Yorkshire 4.4 Barnsdale 4.5 The Saylis 4.6 Church of Saint Mary Magdalene at Campsall 4.7 Abbey of Saint Mary at York 4.8 Grave at Kirklees 4.9 All Saints ' Church at Pontefract 4.10 Place - name locations 4.10. 1 Some other place names and other references 5 List of traditional ballads 5.1 Early ballads ( i.e. , surviving in 15th - or early - 16th - century copies ) 5.2 Ballads appearing in 17th - century Percy Folio 5.3 Other ballads 6 In popular culture 7 Main characters of the folklore 8 See also 9 References 10 Bibliography 11 External links Ballads and tales The first clear reference to ' rhymes of Robin Hood ' is from the alliterative poem Piers Plowman , thought to have been composed in the 1370s , but the earliest surviving copies of the narrative ballads that tell his story date to the second half of the 15th century , or the first decade of the 16th century . In these early accounts , Robin Hood 's partisanship of the lower classes , his Marianism and associated special regard for women , his outstanding skill as an archer , his anti-clericalism , and his particular animosity towards the Sheriff of Nottingham are already clear . Little John , Much the Miller 's Son and Will Scarlet ( as Will ' Scarlok ' or ' Scathelocke ' ) all appear , although not yet Maid Marian or Friar Tuck . The latter has been part of the legend since at least the later 15th century , when he is mentioned in a Robin Hood play script . In modern popular culture , Robin Hood is typically seen as a contemporary and supporter of the late - 12th - century king Richard the Lionheart , Robin being driven to outlawry during the misrule of Richard 's brother John while Richard was away at the Third Crusade . This view first gained currency in the 16th century . It is not supported by the earliest ballads . The early compilation , A Gest of Robyn Hode , names the king as ' Edward ' ; and while it does show Robin Hood accepting the King 's pardon , he later repudiates it and returns to the greenwood . The oldest surviving ballad , Robin Hood and the Monk , gives even less support to the picture of Robin Hood as a partisan of the true king . The setting of the early ballads is usually attributed by scholars to either the 13th century or the 14th , although it is recognised they are not necessarily historically consistent . The early ballads are also quite clear on Robin Hood 's social status : he is a yeoman . While the precise meaning of this term changed over time , including free retainers of an aristocrat and small landholders , it always referred to commoners . The essence of it in the present context was ' neither a knight nor a peasant or `` husbonde '' but something in between ' . Artisans ( such as millers ) were among those regarded as ' yeomen ' in the 14th century . From the 16th century on , there were attempts to elevate Robin Hood to the nobility and in two extremely influential plays , Anthony Munday presented him at the very end of the 16th century as the Earl of Huntingdon , as he is still commonly presented in modern times . As well as ballads , the legend was also transmitted by ' Robin Hood games ' or plays that were an important part of the late medieval and early modern May Day festivities . The first record of a Robin Hood game was in 1426 in Exeter , but the reference does not indicate how old or widespread this custom was at the time . The Robin Hood games are known to have flourished in the later 15th and 16th centuries . It is commonly stated as fact that Maid Marian and a jolly friar ( at least partly identifiable with Friar Tuck ) entered the legend through the May Games . Early ballads The earliest surviving text of a Robin Hood ballad is the 15th - century `` Robin Hood and the Monk '' . This is preserved in Cambridge University manuscript Ff. 5.48 . Written after 1450 , it contains many of the elements still associated with the legend , from the Nottingham setting to the bitter enmity between Robin and the local sheriff . Douglas Fairbanks as Robin Hood ; the sword he is depicted with was common in the oldest ballads The first printed version is A Gest of Robyn Hode ( c. 1500 ) , a collection of separate stories that attempts to unite the episodes into a single continuous narrative . After this comes `` Robin Hood and the Potter '' , contained in a manuscript of c. 1503 . `` The Potter '' is markedly different in tone from `` The Monk '' : whereas the earlier tale is ' a thriller ' the latter is more comic , its plot involving trickery and cunning rather than straightforward force . Other early texts are dramatic pieces , the earliest being the fragmentary Robyn Hod and the Shryff off Notyngham ( c. 1475 ) . These are particularly noteworthy as they show Robin 's integration into May Day rituals towards the end of the Middle Ages ; Robyn Hod and the Shryff off Notyngham , among other points of interest , contains the earliest reference to Friar Tuck . The plots of neither `` the Monk '' nor `` the Potter '' are included in the Gest ; and neither is the plot of `` Robin Hood and Guy of Gisborne '' , which is probably at least as old as those two ballads although preserved in a more recent copy . Each of these three ballads survived in a single copy , so it is unclear how much of the medieval legend has survived , and what has survived may not be typical of the medieval legend . It has been argued that the fact that the surviving ballads were preserved in written form in itself makes it unlikely they were typical ; in particular , stories with an interest for the gentry were by this view more likely to be preserved . The story of Robin 's aid to the ' poor knight ' that takes up much of the Gest may be an example . The character of Robin in these first texts is rougher edged than in his later incarnations . In `` Robin Hood and the Monk '' , for example , he is shown as quick tempered and violent , assaulting Little John for defeating him in an archery contest ; in the same ballad Much the Miller 's Son casually kills a ' little page ' in the course of rescuing Robin Hood from prison . No extant ballad early actually shows Robin Hood ' giving to the poor ' , although in a `` A Gest of Robyn Hode '' Robin does make a large loan to an unfortunate knight , which he does not in the end require to be repaid ; and later in the same ballad Robin Hood states his intention of giving money to the next traveller to come down the road if he happens to be poor . Of my good he shall haue some , Yf he be a por man . As it happens the next traveller is not poor , but it seems in context that Robin Hood is stating a general policy . The first explicit statement to the effect that Robin Hood habitually robbed from the rich to give the poor can be found in John Stow 's Annales of England ( 1592 ) , about a century after the publication of the Gest . But from the beginning Robin Hood is on the side of the poor ; the Gest quotes Robin Hood as instructing his men that when they rob : loke ye do no husbonde harme That tilleth with his ploughe . No more ye shall no gode yeman That walketh by gren - wode shawe ; Ne no knyght ne no squyer That wol be a gode felawe . And in its final lines the Gest sums up : he was a good outlawe , And dyde pore men moch god . Within Robin Hood 's band , medieval forms of courtesy rather than modern ideals of equality are generally in evidence . In the early ballad , Robin 's men usually kneel before him in strict obedience : in A Gest of Robyn Hode the king even observes that ' His men are more at his byddynge / Then my men be at myn . ' Their social status , as yeomen , is shown by their weapons ; they use swords rather than quarterstaffs . The only character to use a quarterstaff in the early ballads is the potter , and Robin Hood does not take to a staff until the 17th - century Robin Hood and Little John . The political and social assumptions underlying the early Robin Hood ballads have long been controversial . It has been influentially argued by J.C. Holt that the Robin Hood legend was cultivated in the households of the gentry , and that it would be mistaken to see in him a figure of peasant revolt . He is not a peasant but a yeoman , and his tales make no mention of the complaints of the peasants , such as oppressive taxes . He appears not so much as a revolt against societal standards as an embodiment of them , being generous , pious , and courteous , opposed to stingy , worldly , and churlish foes . Other scholars have by contrast stressed the subversive aspects of the legend , and see in the medieval Robin Hood ballads a plebeian literature hostile to the feudal order . Early plays , May Day Games and fairs By the early 15th century at the latest , Robin Hood had become associated with May Day celebrations , with revellers dressing as Robin or as members of his band for the festivities . This was not common throughout England , but in some regions the custom lasted until Elizabethan times , and during the reign of Henry VIII , was briefly popular at court . Robin was often allocated the role of a May King , presiding over games and processions , but plays were also performed with the characters in the roles , sometimes performed at church ales , a means by which churches raised funds . A complaint of 1492 , brought to the Star Chamber , accuses men of acting riotously by coming to a fair as Robin Hood and his men ; the accused defended themselves on the grounds that the practice was a long - standing custom to raise money for churches , and they had not acted riotously but peaceably . Robin Hood and Maid Marian It is from the association with the May Games that Robin 's romantic attachment to Maid Marian ( or Marion ) apparently stems . A `` Robin and Marion '' figured in 13th - century French ' pastourelles ' ( of which Jeu de Robin et Marion c. 1280 is a literary version ) and presided over the French May festivities , ' this Robin and Marion tended to preside , in the intervals of the attempted seduction of the latter by a series of knights , over a variety of rustic pastimes . ' In the Jeu de Robin and Marion , Robin and his companions have to rescue Marion from the clutches of a ' lustful knight ' . The naming of Marian may have come from the French pastoral play of c. 1280 , the Jeu de Robin et Marion This play is distinct from the English legends . although Dobson and Taylor regard it as ' highly probable ' that this French Robin 's name and functions travelled to the English May Games where they fused with the Robin Hood legend . Both Robin and Marian were certainly associated with May Day festivities in England ( as was Friar Tuck ) , but these may have been originally two distinct types of performance -- Alexander Barclay in his Ship of Fools , writing in c. 1500 , refers to ' some merry fytte of Maid Marian or else of Robin Hood ' -- but the characters were brought together ' . Marian did not immediately gain the unquestioned role ; in Robin Hood 's Birth , Breeding , Valor , and Marriage , his sweetheart is ' Clorinda the Queen of the Shepherdesses ' . Clorinda survives in some later stories as an alias of Marian . The earliest preserved script of a Robin Hood play is the fragmentary Robyn Hod and the Shryff off Notyngham This apparently dates to the 1470s and circumstantial evidence suggests it was probably performed at the household of Sir John Paston . This fragment appears to tell the story of Robin Hood and Guy of Gisborne . There is also an early playtext appended to a 1560 printed edition of the Gest . This includes a dramatic version of the story of Robin Hood and the Curtal Friar and a version of the first part of the story of Robin Hood and the Potter . ( Neither of these ballads are known to have existed in print at the time , and there is no earlier record known of the `` Curtal Friar '' story ) . The publisher describes the text as a ' playe of Robyn Hood , verye proper to be played in Maye games ' , but does not seem to be aware that the text actually contains two separate plays . An especial point of interest in the `` Friar '' play is the appearance of a ribald woman who is unnamed but apparently to be identified with the bawdy Maid Marian of the May Games . She does not appear in extant versions of the ballad . Robin Hood on the early modern stage In 1598 , Anthony Munday wrote a pair of plays on the Robin Hood legend , The Downfall and The Death of Robert Earl of Huntington ( published 1601 ) . These plays drew on a variety of sources , including apparently A Gest of Robin Hood , and were influential in fixing the story of Robin Hood to the period of Richard I. Stephen Thomas Knight has suggested that Munday drew heavily on Fulk Fitz Warin a historical 12th century outlawed nobleman and enemy of King John , in creating his Robin Hood . The play identifies Robin Hood as Robert , Earl of Huntingdon , probably for the first time , and identifies Maid Marian with ' one of the semi-mythical Matildas persecuted by King John ' . The plays are complex in plot and form , the story of Robin Hood appearing as a play - within - a-play presented at the court of Henry VIII and written by the poet , priest and courtier John Skelton . Skelton himself is presented in the play as acting the part of Friar Tuck . Some scholars have conjectured that Skelton may have indeed written a lost Robin Hood play for Henry VIII 's court , and that this play may have been one of Munday 's sources . Henry VIII himself with eleven of his nobles had impersonated `` Robyn Hodes men '' as part of his `` Maying '' in 1510 . Robin Hood is known to have appeared in a number of other lost and extant Elizabethan plays . In 1599 , the play George a Green , the Pinner of Wakefield places Robin Hood in the reign of Edward IV . Edward I , a play by George Peele first performed in 1590 - 1 , incorporates a Robin Hood game played by the characters . Lleweleyn , the last independent Prince of Wales , is presented playing Robin Hood . King Richard the Lionheart marrying Robin Hood and Maid Marian on a plaque outside Nottingham Castle Fixing the Robin Hood story to the 1190s had been first proposed by John Major in his Historia Majoris Britanniæ ( 1521 ) , ( and he also may have been influenced in so doing by the story of Fulk Fitz Warin ) This was the period in which King Richard was absent from the country , fighting in the Third Crusade . William Shakespeare makes reference to Robin Hood in his late - 16th - century play The Two Gentlemen of Verona . In it , the character Valentine is banished from Milan and driven out through the forest where he is approached by outlaws who , upon meeting him , desire him as their leader . They comment , ' By the bare scalp of Robin Hood 's fat friar , This fellow were a king for our wild faction ! ' Robin Hood is also mentioned in As You Like It . When asked about the exiled Duke Senior , the character of Charles says that he is ' `` already in the forest of Arden , and a many merry men with him ; and there they live like the old Robin Hood of England ' . Justice Silence sings a line from an unnamed Robin Hood ballad , the line is `` Robin Hood , Scarlet , and John '' in Act 5 scene 3 of Henry IV , part 2 . In Henry IV part 1 Act 3 scene 3 , Falstaff refers to Maid Marian implying she is a by - word for unwomanly or unchaste behaviour . Ben Jonson produced the ( incomplete ) masque The Sad Shepherd , or a Tale of Robin Hood in part as a satire on Puritanism . It is about half finished and writing may have been interrupted by his death in 1637 . It is Jonson 's only pastoral drama , it was written in sophisticated verse and included supernatural action and characters . It has had little impact on the Robin Hood tradition but needs mention as the work of a major dramatist . The London theatre closure 1642 by the Puritans interrupted the portrayal of Robin Hood on the stage . The theatres would reopen with the Restoration in 1660 . Robin Hood did not appear on the Restoration stage unless one includes `` Robin Hood and his Crew of Souldiers '' acted in Nottingham on the day of the coronation of Charles II in 1661 . This short play adapts the story of the king 's pardon of Robin Hood to refer to the Restoration . However Robin Hood appeared on the 18th - century stage in various farces and comic operas . Tennyson would write a four act Robin Hood play at the end of the 19th century , `` The Forrestors '' . It is fundamentally based on the Gest but follows the tradition of placing Robin Hood as the Earl of Huntingdon in the time of Richard I , and making the Sheriff of Nottingham and Prince John rivals with Robin Hood for Maid Marian 's hand . The return of King Richard brings about a happy ending . Broadside ballads and garlands With the advent of printing came the Robin Hood broadside ballads . Exactly when they displaced the oral tradition of Robin Hood ballads is unknown but the process seems to have been completed by the end of the 16th century . Near the end of the 16th century an unpublished prose life of Robin Hood was written , and included in the Sloane Manuscript . Largely a paraphrase of the Gest , it also contains material revealing that the author was familiar with early versions of a number of the Robin Hood broadside ballads . Not all of the medieval legend was preserved in the broadside ballads , there is no broadside version of Robin Hood and Guy of Gisborne or of Robin Hood and the Monk , which did not appear in print until the 18th and 19th centuries respectively . However , the Gest was reprinted from time to time throughout the 16th and 17th centuries . No surviving broadside ballad can be dated with certainty before the 17th century , but during that century , the commercial broadside ballad became the main vehicle for the popular Robin Hood legend . These broadside ballads were in some cases newly fabricated but were mostly adaptions of the older verse narratives . The broadside ballads were fitted to a small repertoire of pre-existing tunes resulting in an increase of `` stock formulaic phrases ' making them ' repetitive and verbose ' , they commonly feature Robin Hood 's contests with artisans : tinkers tanners and butchers . Among these ballads is Robin Hood and Little John telling the famous story of the quarter - staff fight between the two outlaws . Dobson and Taylor wrote , ' More generally the Robin of the broadsides is a much less tragic , less heroic and in the last resort less mature figure than his medieval predecessor ' . In most of the broadside ballads Robin Hood remains a plebeian figure , a notable exception being Martin Parker 's attempt at an overall life of Robin Hood , A True Tale of Robin Hood , which also emphasises the theme of Robin Hood 's generosity to the poor more than the broadsheet ballads do in general . The 17th century introduced the minstrel Alan - a-Dale . He first appeared in a 17th - century broadside ballad , and unlike many of the characters thus associated , managed to adhere to the legend . The prose life of Robin Hood in Sloane Manuscript contains the substance of the Alan - a-Dale ballad but tells the story about Will Scarlet . `` Little John and Robin Hood '' by Frank Godwin In the 18th century , the stories began to develop a slightly more farcical vein . From this period there are a number of ballads in which Robin is severely ' drubbed ' by a succession of tradesmen including a tanner , a tinker and a ranger . In fact , the only character who does not get the better of Hood is the luckless Sheriff . Yet even in these ballads Robin is more than a mere simpleton : on the contrary , he often acts with great shrewdness . The tinker , setting out to capture Robin , only manages to fight with him after he has been cheated out of his money and the arrest warrant he is carrying . In Robin Hood 's Golden Prize , Robin disguises himself as a friar and cheats two priests out of their cash . Even when Robin is defeated , he usually tricks his foe into letting him sound his horn , summoning the Merry Men to his aid . When his enemies do not fall for this ruse , he persuades them to drink with him instead ( see Robin Hood 's Delight ) . In the 18th and 19th centuries , the Robin Hood ballads were mostly sold in `` Garlands '' of 16 to 24 Robin Hood ballads ; these were crudely printed chap books aimed at the poor . The garlands added nothing to the substance of the legend but ensured that it continued after the decline of the single broadside ballad . In the 18th century also , Robin Hood frequently appeared in criminal biographies and histories of highwaymen compendia . Rediscovery of the medieval Robin Hood : Percy and Ritson In 1765 Thomas Percy ( bishop of Dromore ) published Reliques of Ancient English Poetry , including ballads from the 17th - century Percy Folio manuscript which had not previously been printed , most notably Robin Hood and Guy of Gisborne which is generally regarded as in substance a genuine late medieval ballad . In 1795 Joseph Ritson published an enormously influential edition of the Robin Hood ballads Robin Hood : A collection of all the Ancient Poems Songs and Ballads now extant , relative to that celebrated Outlaw . ' By providing English poets and novelists with a convenient source book , Ritson gave them the opportunity to recreate Robin Hood in their own imagination , ' Ritson 's collection included the Gest and put the Robin Hood and the Potter ballad in print for the first time . The only significant omission was Robin Hood and the Monk which would eventually be printed in 1806 . Ritson 's interpretation of Robin Hood was also influential . Himself a supporter of the principles of the French Revolution and admirer of Thomas Paine Ritson held that Robin Hood was a genuinely historical , and genuinely heroic , character who had stood up against tyranny in the interests of the common people . In his preface to the collection Ritson assembled an account of Robin Hood 's life from the various sources available to him , and concluded that Robin Hood was born in around 1160 , and thus had been active in the reign of Richard I. He thought that Robin was of aristocratic extraction , with at least ' some pretension ' to the title of Earl of Huntingdon , that he was born in an unlocated Nottinghamshire village of Locksley and that his original name was Robert Fitzooth . Ritson gave the date of Robin Hood 's death as 18 November 1247 , when he would have been around 87 years old . In copious and informative notes Ritson defends every point of his version of Robin Hood 's life . In reaching his conclusion Ritson relied or gave weight to a number of unreliable sources , such as the Robin Hood plays of Anthony Munday , and the Sloane Manuscript . Nevertheless , Dobson and Taylor credit Ritson with having ' an incalculable effect in promoting the still continuing quest for the man behind the myth ' , and note that his work remains an ' indispensable handbook to the outlaw legend even now ' . Ritson 's friend Walter Scott used Ritson 's anthology collection as a source for his picture of Robin Hood in Ivanhoe , written in 1818 , which did much to shape the modern legend . The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood The title page of Howard Pyle 's 1883 novel , The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood Main article : The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood In the 19th century the Robin Hood legend was first specifically adapted for children . Children 's editions of the garlands were produced and in 1820 a children 's edition of Ritson 's Robin Hood collection . Children 's Robin Hood novels began to appear . It is not that children did not read Robin Hood stories before , but this is the first appearance of a Robin Hood literature specifically aimed at them . A very influential example of these children 's novels was Pierce Egan the Younger 's Robin Hood and Little John ( 1840 ) . This was adapted into French by Alexandre Dumas in Le Prince des Voleurs ( 1872 ) and Robin Hood Le Proscrit ( 1873 ) . Egan made Robin Hood of noble birth but raised by the forestor Gilbert Hood . Another very popular version for children was Howard Pyle 's The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood , which influenced accounts of Robin Hood through the 20th century . Pyle 's version firmly stamp Robin as a staunch philanthropist , a man who takes from the rich to give to the poor . Nevertheless , the adventures are still more local than national in scope : while King Richard 's participation in the Crusades is mentioned in passing , Robin takes no stand against Prince John , and plays no part in raising the ransom to free Richard . These developments are part of the 20th - century Robin Hood myth . Pyle 's Robin Hood is a yeoman and not an aristocrat . The idea of Robin Hood as a high - minded Saxon fighting Norman lords also originates in the 19th century . The most notable contributions to this idea of Robin are Jacques Nicolas Augustin Thierry 's Histoire de la Conquête de l'Angleterre par les Normands ( 1825 ) and Sir Walter Scott 's Ivanhoe ( 1819 ) . In this last work in particular , the modern Robin Hood -- ' King of Outlaws and prince of good fellows ! ' as Richard the Lionheart calls him -- makes his debut . 20th century onwards The 20th century grafted still further details on to the original legends . The 1938 film , The Adventures of Robin Hood , starring Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland , portrayed Robin as a hero on a national scale , leading the oppressed Saxons in revolt against their Norman overlords while Richard the Lionheart fought in the Crusades ; this movie established itself so definitively that many studios resorted to movies about his son ( invented for that purpose ) rather than compete with the image of this one . In 1953 , during the McCarthy era , the Republican members of the Indiana Textbook Commission called for a ban of Robin Hood from all Indiana school books for promoting communism because he stole from the rich to give to the poor . Films , animations , New concepts and other adaptations Walt Disney 's Robin Hood Main articles : Robin Hood ( 1973 film ) and Robin Hood ( Disney character ) In the 1973 animated Disney film , Robin Hood , the title character is portrayed as an anthropomorphic fox voiced by Brian Bedford . Years before Robin Hood had even entered production , Disney had considered doing a project on Reynard the Fox . However , due to concerns that Reynard was unsuitable as a hero , animator Ken Anderson adapted some elements from Reynard into Robin Hood , thus making the title character a fox . Robin and Marian The 1976 British - American film Robin and Marian , starring Sean Connery as Robin Hood and Audrey Hepburn as Maid Marian , portrays the figures in later years after Robin has returned from service with Richard the Lionheart in a foreign crusade and Marian has gone into seclusion in a nunnery . This is the first in popular culture to portray King Richard as less than perfect . A Muslim among the Merry men Since the 1980s , it has become commonplace to include a Saracen ( Muslim ) among the Merry Men , a trend that began with the character Nasir in the 1984 ITV Robin of Sherwood television series . Later versions of the story have followed suit : the 1991 movie Robin Hood : Prince of Thieves and 2006 BBC TV series Robin Hood each contain equivalents of Nasir , in the figures of Azeem and Djaq , respectively . The 1990s BBC sitcom Maid Marian and her Merry Men parodied the Moorish character with Barrington , a Rastafarian rapper played by Danny John - Jules . The latest movie version , 2010 's Robin Hood , did not include a Saracen character . The character Azeem in the 1991 movie Robin Hood : Prince of Thieves was originally called Nasir , until a crew member who had worked on Robin of Sherwood pointed out that the Nasir character was not part of the original legend and was created for the show Robin of Sherwood . The name was immediately changed to Azeem to avoid any potential copyright issues . Robin Hood in France Between 1963 and 1966 , French television broadcast a medievalist series entitled Thierry La Fronde ( Thierry the Sling ) . This successful series , which was also shown in Canada , Poland ( Thierry Śmiałek ) , Australia ( The King 's Outlaw ) , and the Netherlands ( Thierry de Slingeraar ) , transposes the English Robin Hood narrative into late medieval France during the Hundred Years ' War . Historicity The historicity of Robin Hood has been debated for centuries . A difficulty with any such historical research is that Robert was a very common given name in medieval England , and ' Robin ' ( or Robyn ) , was its very common diminutive , especially in the 13th century ; it is a French hypocorism , already mentioned in the Roman de Renart in the 12th century . The surname Hood ( or Hude , Hode , etc . ) was also fairly common because it referred either to a hooder , who was a maker of hoods , or alternatively to somebody who wore a hood as a head - covering . Unsurprisingly , therefore , medieval records mention a number of people called ' Robert Hood ' or ' Robin Hood ' , some of whom are known to have fallen foul of the law . Another view on the origin on the name is expressed in the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica which remarks that ' hood ' was a common dialectical form of ' wood ' ; and that the outlaw 's name has been given as ' Robin Wood ' . There are a number of references to Robin Hood as Robin Wood , or Whood , or Whod , from the 16th and 17th centuries . The earliest recorded example , in connection with May games in Somerset , dates from 1518 . Early references The oldest references to Robin Hood are not historical records , or even ballads recounting his exploits , but hints and allusions found in various works . From 1261 onward , the names ' Robinhood ' , ' Robehod ' or ' Robbehod ' occur in the rolls of several English Justices as nicknames or descriptions of malefactors . The majority of these references date from the late 13th century . Between 1261 and 1300 , there are at least eight references to ' Rabunhod ' in various regions across England , from Berkshire in the south to York in the north . Leaving aside the reference to the `` rhymes '' of Robin Hood in Piers Plowman in the 1370s , the first mention of a quasi-historical Robin Hood is given in Andrew of Wyntoun 's Orygynale Chronicle , written in about 1420 . The following lines occur with little contextualisation under the year 1283 : Lytil Jhon and Robyne Hude Wayth - men ware commendyd gude In Yngil - wode and Barnysdale Thai oysyd all this tyme thare trawale . The next notice is a statement in the Scotichronicon , composed by John of Fordun between 1377 and 1384 , and revised by Walter Bower in about 1440 . Among Bower 's many interpolations is a passage that directly refers to Robin . It is inserted after Fordun 's account of the defeat of Simon de Montfort and the punishment of his adherents . Robin is represented as a fighter for de Montfort 's cause . This was in fact true of the historical outlaw of Sherwood Forest Roger Godberd , whose points of similarity to the Robin Hood of the ballads have often been noted . Bower writes : Then ( c. 1266 ) arose the famous murderer , Robert Hood , as well as Little John , together with their accomplices from among the disinherited , whom the foolish populace are so inordinately fond of celebrating both in tragedies and comedies , and about whom they are delighted to hear the jesters and minstrels sing above all other ballads . The word translated here as `` murderer '' is the Latin sicarius ( literally `` dagger - man '' ) , from the Latin sica for `` dagger '' . Bower goes on to tell a story about Robin Hood in which he refuses to flee from his enemies while hearing Mass in the greenwood , and then gains a surprise victory over them , apparently as a reward for his piety . Another reference , discovered by Julian Luxford in 2009 , appears in the margin of the `` Polychronicon '' in the Eton College library . Written around the year 1460 by a monk in Latin , it says : Around this time ( ie reign of Edward I ) , according to popular opinion , a certain outlaw named Robin Hood , with his accomplices , infested Sherwood and other law - abiding areas of England with continuous robberies . In a petition presented to Parliament in 1439 , the name is used to describe an itinerant felon . The petition cites one Piers Venables of Aston , Derbyshire , `` who having no liflode , ne sufficeante of goodes , gadered and assembled unto him many misdoers , beynge of his clothynge , and , in manere of insurrection , wente into the wodes in that countrie , like as it hadde be Robyn Hude and his meyne . '' The name was still used to describe sedition and treachery in 1605 , when Guy Fawkes and his associates were branded `` Robin Hoods '' by Robert Cecil . `` Robin shoots with Sir Guy '' by Louis Rhead Robin Hood of York The earliest known legal records mentioning a person called Robin Hood ( Robert Hod ) are from 1226 , found in the York Assizes , when that person 's goods , worth 32 shillings and 6 pence , were confiscated and he became an outlaw . Robert Hod owed the money to St Peter 's in York . The following year , he was called `` Hobbehod '' . Robert Hod of York is the only early Robin Hood known to have been an outlaw . L.V.D. Owen in 1936 floated the idea that Robin Hood might be identified with an outlawed Robert Hood , or Hod , or Hobbehod , all apparently the same man , referred to in nine successive Yorkshire Pipe Rolls between 1226 and 1234 . There is no evidence however that this Robert Hood , although an outlaw , was also a bandit . Robert and John Deyville Historian Oscar de Ville discusses the career of John Deyville and his brother Robert , along with their kinsmen Jocelin and Adam , during the Second Barons ' War , specifically their activities after the Battle of Evesham . John Deyville was granted authority by the faction led by Simon de Montfort , 6th Earl of Leicester over York Castle and the Northern Forests during the war in which they sought refuge after Evesham . John , along with his relatives , led the remaining rebel faction on the Isle of Ely following the Dictum of Kenilworth . De Ville connects their presence there with Bower 's mention of `` Robert Hood '' during the aftermath of Evesham in his annotations to the Scotichronicon . While John was eventually pardoned and continued his career until 1290 , his kinsmen are no longer mentioned by historical records after the events surrounding their resistance at Ely , and de Ville speculates that Robert remained an outlaw . Other points de Ville raises in support of John and his brothers ' exploits forming the inspiration for Robin Hood include their properties in Barnsdale , John 's settlement of a mortgage worth £ 400 paralleling Robin Hood 's charity of identical value to Sir Richard at the Lee , relationship with Sir Richard Foliot , a possible inspiration for the former figure , and ownership of a fortified home at Hood Hill , near Kilburn , North Yorkshire . The last of these is suggested to be the inspiration for Robin Hood 's second name as opposed to the more common theory of a head covering . Perhaps not coincidentally , a `` Robertus Hod '' is mentioned in records among the holdouts at Ely . Although de Ville does not explicitly connect John and Robert Deyville to Robin Hood , he discusses these parallels in detail and suggests that they formed prototypes for this ideal of heroic outlawry during the tumultuous reign of Henry III 's grandson and Edward I 's son , Edward II of England . Roger Godberd as Robin Hood David Baldwin identifies Robin Hood with the historical outlaw Roger Godberd , who was a die - hard supporter of Simon de Montfort , which would place Robin Hood around the 1260s . There are certainly parallels between Godberd 's career and that of Robin Hood as he appears in the Gest . John Maddicott has called Godberd `` that prototype Robin Hood '' . Some problems with this theory are that there is no evidence that Godberd was ever known as Robin Hood ( Bower mentions both Roger Godberd and `` Robert Hood '' but explicitly as two separate individuals ) and no sign in the early Robin Hood ballads of the specific concerns of de Montfort 's revolt . Robin Hood of Wakefield The antiquarian Joseph Hunter ( 1783 -- 1861 ) believed that Robin Hood had inhabited the forests of Yorkshire during the early decades of the fourteenth century . Hunter pointed to two men whom , believing them to be the same person , he identified with the legendary outlaw : Robert Hood who is documented as having lived in the city of Wakefield at the start of the fourteenth century . `` Robyn Hode '' who is recorded as being employed by Edward II of England during 1323 . Hunter developed a fairly detailed theory implying that Robert Hood had been an adherent of the rebel Earl of Lancaster , who was defeated by Edward II at the Battle of Boroughbridge in 1322 . According to this theory , Robert Hood was thereafter pardoned and employed as a bodyguard by King Edward , and in consequence he appears in the 1323 court roll under the name of `` Robyn Hode '' . Hunter 's theory has long been recognised to have serious problems , one of the most serious being that recent research has shown that Hunter 's Robyn Hood had been employed by the king before he appeared in the 1323 court roll , thus casting doubt on this Robyn Hood 's supposed earlier career as outlaw and rebel . Robin Hood as an alias It has long been suggested , notably by John Maddicott , that `` Robin Hood '' was a stock alias used by thieves . What appears to be the first known example of `` Robin Hood '' as stock name for an outlaw dates to 1262 in Berkshire , where the surname `` Robehod '' was applied to a man apparently because he had been outlawed . This could suggest two main possibilities : either that an early form of the Robin Hood legend was already well established in the mid-13th century ; or alternatively that the name `` Robin Hood '' preceded the outlaw hero that we know ; so that the `` Robin Hood '' of legend was so called because that was seen as an appropriate name for an outlaw . Native American chief Robin Hood in early colonial New England Chief Rawandagon , headman and shaman of an Abenaki Indian tribe on the lower Androscoggin and Kennebec rivers in seacoast Maine was a notorious figure in early colonial New England . What reminds us of him , wrote anthropologist Harald E.L. Prins , `` are some place names in the lower Kennebec River area . For instance , there is a Georgetown Island village called Robinhood , located at the entrance of Robinhood Cove . Merrymeeting Bay , situated nearby , is another symbolic reference . ( This ) bay was once known by its Abenaki name , chisapeak '' -- `` at the big part of the river . '' Here , Rawandagon alias Robin Hood and his Abenaki cohorts ( `` merry men '' ) held their periodic ( festive ) gatherings , which in seventeenth - century English were known as `` merry meetings . '' `` By the 1660s , English colonial authorities officially acknowledged his political position , appointing him `` chief sachem '' of the district from Casco Bay to Pemaquid . As such , he assumed responsibility for the actions of his native compatriots in the region , and mediated in negotiations and conflicts between them and the English . His final public act took place in 1675 , when he mediated in a smoldering conflict between his cohorts and the settlers . `` In English eyes , the Abenaki tribesmen were funny - looking , funny - talking `` wild men '' -- reminiscent of the fools , mummers , or strollers of the May fair . Words used by an English observer to describe New England 's natives in the 1630s are revealing : `` Bare Skinned Morris Dancers , who presented their Antiques before ( a captive ) ... When they had sported enough about this walking Maypole , a rough hewne Satyre cutteth a gobbit of flesh from his brawnie arme , eating it in his view , searing it with a firebrand ... '' Given this mindset , it is easy to imagine how Rawandagon , as an Indian headman , came to be identified with the fair 's Lord of Misrule -- Robin Hood . Not surprisingly , the English also associated the name Robin Hood with deception by trickery , as in the saying : `` When ... a Purchase you reap , that is wondrous cheap , they Robin - Hood bargains are call 'd . '' Indeed , viewing Rawandagon and his cohorts as credulous fools , the English duped them into signing documents which served as proof that the Indians no longer owned parts of their traditional territories . Typically , they were paid a mere pittance for their land . Consider Rawandagon 's first deed , a 1639 contract first identifying him as Robin Hood . In exchange for a considerable piece of land located on the east bank of the lower Kennebec ( at Nequaseg , now Woolwich ) , which had `` one wigwam , or Indian house '' on it , he received the sum total of `` one hogshead of corn and thirty sound pumpkins '' Mythology There is at present little or no scholarly support for the view that tales of Robin Hood have stemmed from mythology or folklore , from fairies or other mythological origins , any such associations being regarded as later development . It was once a popular view , however . The `` mythological theory '' dates back at least to 1584 , when Reginald Scot identified Robin Hood with the Germanic goblin `` Hudgin '' or Hodekin and associated him with Robin Goodfellow . Maurice Keen provides a brief summary and useful critique of the evidence for the view Robin Hood had mythological origins . While the outlaw often shows great skill in archery , swordplay and disguise , his feats are no more exaggerated than those of characters in other ballads , such as Kinmont Willie , which were based on historical events . Robin Hood has also been claimed for the pagan witch - cult supposed by Margaret Murray to have existed in medieval Europe , and his anti-clericalism and Marianism interpreted in this light . The existence of the witch cult as proposed by Murray is now generally discredited . Associated locations Sherwood Forest The Major Oak in Sherwood Forest The early ballads link Robin Hood to identifiable real places . In popular culture , Robin Hood and his band of `` merry men '' are portrayed as living in Sherwood Forest , in Nottinghamshire . Notably , the Lincoln Cathedral Manuscript , which is the first officially recorded Robin Hood song ( dating from approximately 1420 ) , makes an explicit reference to the outlaw that states that `` Robyn hode in scherewode stod . '' In a similar fashion , a monk of Witham Priory ( 1460 ) suggested that the archer had ' infested shirwode ' . His chronicle entry reads : ' Around this time , according to popular opinion , a certain outlaw named Robin Hood , with his accomplices , infested Sherwood and other law - abiding areas of England with continuous robberies ' . Nottinghamshire Specific sites in the county of Nottinghamshire that are directly linked to the Robin Hood legend include Robin Hood 's Well , located near Newstead Abbey ( within the boundaries of Sherwood Forest ) , the Church of St. Mary in the village of Edwinstowe and most famously of all , the Major Oak also located at the village of Edwinstowe . The Major Oak , which resides in the heart of Sherwood Forest , is popularly believed to have been used by the Merry Men as a hide - out . Dendrologists have contradicted this claim by estimating the tree 's true age at around eight hundred years ; it would have been relatively a sapling in Robin 's time , at best . Yorkshire Nottinghamshire 's claim to Robin Hood 's heritage is disputed , with Yorkists staking a claim to the outlaw . In demonstrating Yorkshire 's Robin Hood heritage , the historian J.C. Holt drew attention to the fact that although Sherwood Forest is mentioned in Robin Hood and the Monk , there is little information about the topography of the region , and thus suggested that Robin Hood was drawn to Nottinghamshire through his interactions with the city 's sheriff . Moreover , the linguist Lister Matheson has observed that the language of the Gest of Robyn Hode is written in a definite northern dialect , probably that of Yorkshire . In consequence , it seems probable that the Robin Hood legend actually originates from the county of Yorkshire . Robin Hood 's Yorkshire origins are generally accepted by professional historians . Barnsdale Blue Plaque commemorating Wentbridge 's Robin Hood connections A tradition dating back at least to the end of the 16th century gives Robin Hood 's birthplace as Loxley , Sheffield , in South Yorkshire . The original Robin Hood ballads , which originate from the fifteenth century , set events in the medieval forest of Barnsdale . Barnsdale was a wooded area covering an expanse of no more than thirty square miles , ranging six miles from north to south , with the River Went at Wentbridge near Pontefract forming its northern boundary and the villages of Skelbrooke and Hampole forming the southernmost region . From east to west the forest extended about five miles , from Askern on the east to Badsworth in the west . At the northernmost edge of the forest of Barnsdale , in the heart of the Went Valley , resides the village of Wentbridge . Wentbridge is a village in the City of Wakefield district of West Yorkshire , England . It lies around 3 miles ( 5 km ) southeast of its nearest township of size , Pontefract , close to the A1 road . During the medieval age Wentbridge was sometimes locally referred to by the name of Barnsdale because it was the predominant settlement in the forest . Wentbridge is mentioned in an early Robin Hood ballad , entitled , Robin Hood and the Potter , which reads , `` Y mete hem bot at Went breg , ' syde Lyttyl John '' . And , while Wentbridge is not directly named in A Gest of Robyn Hode , the poem does appear to make a cryptic reference to the locality by depicting a poor knight explaining to Robin Hood that he ' went at a bridge ' where there was wrestling ' . A commemorative Blue Plaque has been placed on the bridge that crosses the River Went by Wakefield City Council . The Saylis The site of the Saylis at Wentbridge The Gest makes a specific reference to the Saylis at Wentbridge . Credit is due to the nineteenth - century antiquarian Joseph Hunter , who correctly identified the site of the Saylis . From this location it was once possible to look out over the Went Valley and observe the traffic that passed along the Great North Road . The Saylis is recorded as having contributed towards the aid that was granted to Edward III in 1346 -- 47 for the knighting of the Black Prince . An acre of landholding is listed within a glebe terrier of 1688 relating to Kirk Smeaton , which later came to be called `` Sailes Close '' . Professor Dobson and Mr. Taylor indicate that such evidence of continuity makes it virtually certain that the Saylis that was so well known to Robin Hood is preserved today as `` Sayles Plantation '' . It is this location that provides a vital clue to Robin Hood 's Yorkshire heritage . One final locality in the forest of Barnsdale that is associated with Robin Hood is the village of Campsall . Church of Saint Mary Magdalene at Campsall St. Mary Magdalene 's church , Campsall The historian John Paul Davis wrote of Robin 's connection to the Church of Saint Mary Magdalene at Campsall . A Gest of Robyn Hode states that the outlaw built a chapel in Barnsdale that he dedicated to Mary Magdalene , I made a chapel in Bernysdale , That seemly is to se , It is of Mary Magdaleyne , And thereto wolde I be . Davis indicates that there is only one church dedicated to Mary Magdalene within what one might reasonably consider to have been the medieval forest of Barnsdale , and that is the church at Campsall . The church was built in the late eleventh century by Robert de Lacy , the 2nd Baron of Pontefract . Local legend suggests that Robin Hood and Maid Marion were married at the church . Abbey of Saint Mary at York The backdrop of Saint Mary 's Abbey at York plays a central role in the Gest as the poor knight who Robin aids owes money to the abbot . Grave at Kirklees Robin Hood 's Grave in the woods near Kirklees Priory At Kirklees Priory in Yorkshire stands an alleged grave with a spurious inscription , which relates to Robin Hood . The fifteenth - century ballads relate that before he died , Robin told Little John where to bury him . He shot an arrow from the Priory window , and where the arrow landed was to be the site of his grave . The Gest states that the Prioress was a relative of Robin 's . Robin was ill and staying at the Priory where the Prioress was supposedly caring for him . However , she betrayed him , his health worsened , and he eventually died there . The inscription on the grave reads , Hear underneath dis laitl stean Laz robert earl of Huntingtun Ne'er arcir ver as hie sa geud An pipl kauld im robin heud Sick ( such ) utlawz as he an iz men Vil england nivr si agen Obiit 24 kal : Dekembris , 1247 Despite the unconventional spelling , the verse is in Modern English , not the Middle English of the thirteenth century . The date is also incorrectly formatted -- using the Roman calendar , `` 24 kal Decembris '' would be the twenty - third day before the beginning of December , that is , 8 November . The tomb probably dates from the late eighteenth century . The grave with the inscription is within sight of the ruins of the Kirklees Priory , behind the Three Nuns pub in Mirfield , West Yorkshire . Though local folklore suggests that Robin is buried in the grounds of Kirklees Priory , this theory has now largely been abandoned by professional historians . All Saints ' church at Pontefract A more recent theory proposes that Robin Hood died at Kirkby , Pontefract . Drayton 's Poly - Olbion Song 28 ( 67 -- 70 ) composed in 1622 speaks of Robin Hood 's death and clearly states that the outlaw died at ' Kirkby ' . Acknowledging that Robin Hood operated in the Went Valley , located three miles to the southeast of the town of Pontefract , historians today indicate that the outlaw is buried at nearby Kirkby . The location is approximately three miles from the site of Robin 's robberies at the now famous Saylis . In the Anglo - Saxon period , Kirkby was home to All Saints ' Church . All Saints ' Church had a priory hospital attached to it . The Tudor historian Richard Grafton stated that the prioress who murdered Robin Hood buried the outlaw beside the road , Where he had used to rob and spoyle those that passed that way ... and the cause why she buryed him there was , for that common strangers and travailers , knowing and seeing him there buryed , might more safely and without feare take their journeys that way , which they durst not do in the life of the sayd outlaes . All Saints ' Church at Kirkby , modern Pontefract , which was located approximately three miles from the site of Robin Hood 's robberies at the Saylis , accurately matches Richard Grafton 's description because a road ran directly from Wentbridge to the hospital at Kirkby . The new church within the old . After All Saints ' church in Pontefract was damaged during the civil war , a new one was built within in 1967 Place - name locations Within close proximity of Wentbridge reside several notable landmarks relating to Robin Hood . One such place - name location occurred in a cartulary deed of 1422 from Monkbretton Priory , which makes direct reference to a landmark named Robin Hood 's Stone , which resided upon the eastern side of the Great North Road , a mile south of Barnsdale Bar . The historians Barry Dobson and John Taylor suggested that on the opposite side of the road once stood Robin Hood 's Well , which has since been relocated six miles north - west of Doncaster , on the south - bound side of the Great North Road . Over the next three centuries , the name popped - up all over the place , such as at Robin Hood 's Bay near Whitby Yorkshire , Robin Hood 's Butts in Cumbria , and Robin Hood 's Walk at Richmond Surrey . Robin Hood type place - names occurred particularly everywhere except Sherwood . The first place - name in Sherwood does not appear until the year 1700 . The fact that the earliest Robin Hood type place - names originated in West Yorkshire is deemed to be historically significant because , generally , place - name evidence originates from the locality where legends begin . The overall picture from the surviving early ballads and other early references indicate that Robin Hood was based in the Barnsdale area of what is now South Yorkshire , which borders Nottinghamshire . Some other place names and other references Robin Hood Tree aka Sycamore Gap , Hadrian 's Wall , UK . This location was used in the 1991 film Robin Hood : Prince of Thieves . The Sheriff of Nottingham also had jurisdiction in Derbyshire that was known as the `` Shire of the Deer '' , and this is where the Royal Forest of the Peak is found , which roughly corresponds to today 's Peak District National Park . The Royal Forest included Bakewell , Tideswell , Castleton , Ladybower and the Derwent Valley near Loxley . The Sheriff of Nottingham possessed property near Loxley , among other places both far and wide including Hazlebadge Hall , Peveril Castle and Haddon Hall . Mercia , to which Nottingham belonged , came to within three miles of Sheffield City Centre . But before the Law of the Normans was the Law of the Danes , The Danelaw had a similar boundary to that of Mercia but had a population of Free Peasantry that were known to have resisted the Norman occupation . Many outlaws could have been created by the refusal to recognise Norman Forest Law . The supposed grave of Little John can be found in Hathersage , also in the Peak District . Further indications of the legend 's connection with West Yorkshire ( and particularly Calderdale ) are noted in the fact that there are pubs called the Robin Hood in both nearby Brighouse and at Cragg Vale ; higher up in the Pennines beyond Halifax , where Robin Hood Rocks can also be found . Robin Hood Hill is near Outwood , West Yorkshire , not far from Lofthouse . There is a village in West Yorkshire called Robin Hood , on the A61 between Leeds and Wakefield and close to Rothwell and Lofthouse . Considering these references to Robin Hood , it is not surprising that the people of both South and West Yorkshire lay some claim to Robin Hood , who , if he existed , could easily have roamed between Nottingham , Lincoln , Doncaster and right into West Yorkshire . A British Army Territorial ( reserves ) battalion formed in Nottingham in 1859 was known as The Robin Hood Battalion through various reorganisations until the `` Robin Hood '' name finally disappeared in 1992 . With the 1881 Childers Reforms that linked regular and reserve units into regimental families , the Robin Hood Battalion became part of The Sherwood Foresters ( Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Regiment ) . A Neolithic causewayed enclosure on Salisbury Plain has acquired the name Robin Hood 's Ball , although had Robin Hood existed it is doubtful that he would have travelled so far south . List of traditional ballads Elizabethan song of Robin Hood Ballads dating back to the 15th century are the oldest existing form of the Robin Hood legends , although none of them were recorded at the time of the first allusions to him , and many are from much later . They share many common features , often opening with praise of the greenwood and relying heavily on disguise as a plot device , but include a wide variation in tone and plot . The ballads are sorted into three groups , very roughly according to date of first known free - standing copy . Ballads whose first recorded version appears ( usually incomplete ) in the Percy Folio may appear in later versions and may be much older than the mid-17th century when the Folio was compiled . Any ballad may be older than the oldest copy that happens to survive , or descended from a lost older ballad . For example , the plot of Robin Hood 's Death , found in the Percy Folio , is summarised in the 15th - century A Gest of Robyn Hode , and it also appears in an 18th - century version . Early ballads ( i.e. , surviving in 15th - or early - 16th - century copies ) A Gest of Robyn Hode Robin Hood and the Monk Robin Hood and the Potter Ballads appearing in 17th - century Percy Folio NB . The first two ballads listed here ( the `` Death '' and `` Gisborne '' ) , although preserved in 17th - century copies , are generally agreed to preserve the substance of late medieval ballads . The third ( the `` Curtal Friar '' ) and the fourth ( the `` Butcher '' ) , also probably have late medieval origins . Robin Hood 's Death Robin Hood and Guy of Gisborne Robin Hood and the Curtal Friar Robin Hood and the Butcher Robin Hood Rescuing Will Stutly Robin Hood Rescuing Three Squires The Jolly Pinder of Wakefield Robin Hood and Queen Katherine Other ballads A True Tale of Robin Hood Robin Hood and the Bishop Robin Hood and the Bishop of Hereford Robin Hood and the Golden Arrow Robin Hood and the Prince of Aragon Robin Hood and the Ranger Robin Hood and the Scotchman Robin Hood and the Tanner Robin Hood and the Tinker Robin Hood and the Valiant Knight Robin Hood Newly Revived Robin Hood 's Birth , Breeding , Valor , and Marriage Robin Hood 's Chase Robin Hood 's Delight Robin Hood 's Golden Prize Robin Hood 's Progress to Nottingham The Bold Pedlar and Robin Hood The King 's Disguise , and Friendship with Robin Hood The Noble Fisherman Some ballads , such as Erlinton , feature Robin Hood in some variants , where the folk hero appears to be added to a ballad pre-existing him and in which he does not fit very well . He was added to one variant of Rose Red and the White Lily , apparently on no more connection than that one hero of the other variants is named `` Brown Robin '' . Francis James Child indeed retitled Child ballad 102 ; though it was titled The Birth of Robin Hood , its clear lack of connection with the Robin Hood cycle ( and connection with other , unrelated ballads ) led him to title it Willie and Earl Richard 's Daughter in his collection .

"Through retellings, additions, and variations a body of familiar characters associated with Robin Hood have been created. These include his lover, Maid Marian, his band of outlaws, the Merry Men, and his chief opponent, the Sheriff of Nottingham. The Sheriff is often depicted as assisting Prince John in usurping the rightful but absent King Richard, to whom Robin Hood remains loyal. A common theme of the story is that Robin is a champion of the common people fighting against injustice, whilst remaining loyal to the rightful ruler. He became a popular folk figure in the Late Middle Ages, and the earliest known ballads featuring him are from the 15th century.\n"

Official website The Historical Characters line of 18 - inch dolls , which were derived from the 18 - inch dolls made by Götz in West Germany ( known as Germany from October 1990 ) during the late 1980s to the 1990s , were initially the main focus of Pleasant Company , founded by Pleasant Rowland in 1986 . This product line aims to teach aspects of American history through a six - book series from the perspective of a girl living in that time period . Although the books are written for girls who are at least eight years old , they endeavor to cover significant topics such as child labor , child abuse , poverty , racism , slavery , animal abuse and war in manners appropriate for the understanding and sensibilities of their young audience . In 1995 Pleasant Company released a line of contemporary dolls called American Girl of Today . In 2006 the product line was renamed Just Like You ; it was changed again in 2010 , to My American Girl , and in 2015 to Truly Me . This line has included seventy - seven different dolls over the years . Each doll has a different combination of face mold , skin tone , eye color , and hair color , length , texture , and / or style . American Girl states that this variety allows customers to choose dolls that `` represent the individuality and diversity of today 's American girls . '' A wide variety of contemporary clothing , accessories , and furniture is also available , and there are regular releases and retirements to update this line . Each year , a Girl of the Year doll is released who has her own special talent ; for example , Mia St. Clair , the Girl of the Year for 2008 , did ice skating , and Marisol Luna , the Girl of the Year for 2005 , was a dancer . Bitty Baby is a line of 15 '' baby dolls targeted to children aged three and older . They are cheaper than the 18 '' dolls , and currently retail at $60 each . The Bitty Twins line debuted in 2003 to represent slightly older toddlers and / or preschoolers . The Bitty Twins were the same size as the Bitty Baby dolls . They were discontinued in June 2016 . Hopscotch Hill School was released by American Girl in 2003 . The dolls were 16 - inch ( 41 cm ) tall , came with jointed limbs and painted eyes , and had a slimmer overall body shape . They , along with the stories which came with the dolls written by Valerie Tripp , were aimed at elementary - age girls from four to six years old , and were sold until 2006 . A reboot of the Historical Characters line dubbed as BeForever was launched in August 2014 , complete with redesigned outfits , a two - volume compilation of previously - released books , and a `` Journey Book '' for each character , with players taking the role of a present - day girl who found her way to the past and met up with one of the Historical girls . The line also coincided with the relaunch of Samantha Parkington , whose collection was previously discontinued in 2008 . In June 2016 American Girl unveiled Wellie Wishers , a separate doll line similar to Hopscotch Hill School aimed for younger children and with a focus on the outdoors , positioning it between Bitty Baby and the BeForever / Girl of the Year / Truly Me dolls . As the name implies , dolls from the line wear Wellington boots , and have a body design distinct from the classic , Götz - derived American Girl dolls . The line was released on June 23 , 2016 . The names of the Wellie Wishers are : Willa , Camille , Kendall , Emerson , and Ashlyn . In February of 2017 , American Girl released a new line of 18 '' dolls called contemporary characters . The first doll in the line was Tenney Grant , an aspiring country singer and songwriter . Other dolls of the contemporary line include Logan , Tenney 's band mate and American Girl 's first ever boy doll , and Z Yang , who is interested in photography and making stop motion videos . Characters ( edit ) Main article : List of American Girl characters Films ( edit ) Main article : American Girl films In 2004 , American Girl teamed with Julia Roberts 's Red Om production company and to create the first American Girl direct - to - video movie , Samantha : An American Girl Holiday . The film spawned a franchise that was followed by Felicity : An American Girl Adventure ( 2005 ) , Molly : An American Girl on the Home Front ( 2006 ) , along with the 2008 theatrically released film Kit Kittredge : An American Girl . In 2009 , HBO premiered An American Girl : Chrissa Stands Strong . In July 2012 American Girl released a direct - to - video movie , McKenna Shoots for the Stars .

Love Has to Win was then followed by An American Girl Story - Maryellen 1955 : Extraordinary Christmas , starring Alyvia Alyn Lind as Maryellen Larkin and released by Amazon on November 25 , 2016 . American Girl store ( edit ) American Girl Place in The Grove at Farmers Market in Los Angeles , California The American Girl store sells American Girl dolls , clothes , and accessories . The first store , American Girl Place , debuted in Chicago in 1998 , followed by stores in New York City and Los Angeles . A number of boutiques followed which are smaller than the main stores ; they feature rotating stock and some have casual restaurants . There are smaller stores in additional cities , including North Point Mall in Atlanta ; Galleria Dallas Mall in Dallas ; Natick Mall in Natick , Massachusetts ; the Mall of America in Bloomington , Minnesota ; Park Meadows mall near Denver , Colorado , and Oak Park Mall near Kansas City , Kansas . In May 2014 , Mattel American Girl opened new stores in Toronto , Ontario and Vancouver , British Columbia , Canada in partnership with Indigo Books and Music . The company has also expressed interest in other overseas ventures , as they are seeing orders from Europe and Latin America . In 2015 , the company announced that they were expanding operations in Mexico with two stores at El Palacio de Hierro 's Perisur and Interlomas in Mexico City , and a third in Polanco . Temporary boutiques ( edit ) The first temporary boutique opened in Honolulu , Hawaii at the Ala Moana Center , running from October 4 , 2014 , to April 2015 . American Girl opened several temporary locations during the holiday season in 2016 in an attempt to reach more customers . In August of 2016 a temporary location was set up in Novi , Michigan a suburb of Detroit in Twelve Oaks Mall which closed on January 28th 2017 . In July of 2017 a temporary location opened in Raleigh , North Carolina , in the Crabtree Valley Mall ; to be opened until January 28 , 2018 . Magazine ( edit ) The American Girl magazine is run by the American Girl company . It was started by the Pleasant Company in Middleton , Wisconsin in 1992 , with the first issue dated January 1993 . Aimed towards girls ages 8 - 14 , the bimonthly magazine includes articles , recipes , advice columns , fiction , arts and crafts , and activity ideas . Girls can choose to either get a year of magazines ( 6 issues ) , or two years of magazines ( 12 issues ) . Online marketing and philanthropy ( edit ) American Girl launched Innerstar University , an online virtual world featuring the My American Girl contemporary doll line , on July 13 , 2010 . Access to the online world is via a Campus Guide , bundled with purchase of a My American Girl doll , which contains an access code for the creation of a doll avatar that then navigates the various games , shops , and challenges of the virtual campus of Innerstar U . In 2015 , when My American Girl dolls were changed to Truly Me dolls , this website was closed down . The launch was simultaneous with Shine on Now , a fund - raising effort Kids In Distressed Situations , National Association of Children 's Hospitals and Related Institutions , National Wildlife Federation , and Save the Children charities . The company has also donated `` almost $500,000 '' over several years to national non-profit homeless housing group HomeAid . These contributions are mainly through its Project Playhouse program . Reception ( edit ) The company has drawn criticism for the expense of the dolls , which cost $115 without accessories as of December 2014 . Buyers can easily spend more than $600 for a doll , outfits , accessories and lunch in the company 's store in New York . Some aspects of the doll 's characters and history have also provoked controversy . Some observers questioned why Addy , American Girl 's first African - American historical character , was portrayed first as a slave ( in later stories Addy and her family gain their freedom after the Civil War ) , while Cecile Rey , American Girl 's second black historical character , was portrayed as a well - to - do black girl in New Orleans . American Girl later went on with releasing their first African - American Girl of the Year , Gabriela McBride , who is portrayed as a dancer , artist , and poet . In 2005 , residents of Pilsen ( a neighborhood in Chicago , Illinois ) criticized a passage in the book associated with the Latina - American doll Marisol , claiming it inaccurately depicted their neighborhood as dangerous . A senior public relations associate for American Girl responded to critics saying : `` We feel that this brief passage has been taken out of context in the book . '' The 2009 limited - edition release of Gwen , a homeless American Girl character , was also controversial . In 2005 , some pro-life and Catholic groups criticized the company for donating funds to the organization Girls , Inc. , which supports underprivileged girls and promotes abortion rights and acceptance of homosexuality . The American Girl Place store in New York City was the center of a labor dispute with Actors ' Equity Association ( AEA ) . On August 3 , 2006 , 14 of the 18 adult actors at the store 's now defunct theater went on strike . AEA reached a two - year contract effective April 1 , 2008 . All American Girl Place theatres were subsequently closed in September of that year . In May 2014 , the company was met with criticism on social media over its decision to discontinue four characters from the historical collection , two of them , namely African - American Cécile Rey and Chinese - American Ivy Ling , representing ethnic minorities . They however defended their move as a business decision , as they decided to `` move away from the character - friend strategy within the line '' . A petition has since been filed through the activist group 18MillionRising.org for the company to provide a replacement for Ivy . The company has also drawn criticism for its recent focus on the contemporary line , specifically the Girl of the Year characters and their backstory , to which was viewed as lacking depth and more important issues in comparison to the Historical / BeForever characters ' backstories . My Little Pony : Friendship is Magic series creator Lauren Faust also expressed her concern and criticism of the line in a Twitter post , stating it `` was once radically positive for girls before it was homogenized for money '' . Permanent underwear controversy ( edit ) American Girl attracted considerable criticism in February 2017 when they announced that they will be changing the dolls ' bodies to incorporate permanently stitched panties on contemporary dolls and certain BeForever character dolls , namely Maryellen , Melody and Julie . Public reaction to the permanent underwear -- the first major change since the transition to flesh - colored bodies in 1991 following the release of the Felicity doll -- was overwhelmingly negative , as fans of the franchise complained that it stifles customization and devalued a well - established and successful brand `` from heirloom quality to be passed down for generations to low - quality retail . '' The company then reversed its decision in a Facebook post on May 2017 , stating that any existing or upcoming dolls from the line will revert to the old body design , and customers who bought a doll with permanent underwear are eligible for a `` one - time '' exchange to have the dolls retrofitted with conventional torsos . In addition , the company has switched back to the old `` iconic boutique box '' packaging following complaints by collectors who deemed the new boxes to be inferior and more susceptible to damage . Fandom ( edit ) YouTube videos made with American Girl Dolls are becoming increasingly popular . In 2015 the American Girl fan community , more specifically the practice of creating and uploading American Girl doll - based stop motion videos , ( AGSM for short ) was featured in a news report for BBC News ' Trending site , along with interviews and videos from several prominent doll community members . Besides stop - motion animations and music videos set to popular music , the report covers recurring subject matters in the said clips such as cyberbullying and other social issues among children and teenagers , along with doll customization , photoshoots and unboxing videos showing new and discontinued clothes , accessories and dolls from the company . Besides YouTube , social media services such as Instagram and Facebook serve as platforms for fans of the toy line , spawning a community called AGIG , or American Girl Instagram , who photograph their dolls and post their photos on the service . Although mostly made up of girls usually around the age of 12 - 18 , a number of boys and adults also participate and congregate on AGIG . American Girl 's teenage fans , particularly ones on AGTube and AGIG , will meet up with other fans at American Girl stores . At the release of Lea Clark and Gabriela McBride , certain prominent community members were included in the `` Clue '' videos released by American Girl . At the release of Z Yang , American Girl hosted meetups at their New York City flagship store and at their Dallas location .

Constructed in 1960 , it held its first NASCAR race on July 30 , 1961 . Despite its short length , Bristol is among the most popular tracks on the NASCAR schedule because of its distinct features , which include extraordinarily steep banking , an all concrete surface , two pit roads , and stadium - like seating . It has also been named one of the loudest NASCAR tracks . Contents 1 Overview 1.1 Angle of banking 1.2 Pit roads 2 Track history 3 Bristol Dragway 4 Non-motorsports usage 4.1 Football 5 Races 5.1 Current 5.2 Former 6 Records 6.1 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series records 7 References 8 External links Overview ( edit ) Outside of turn 2 Bristol Motor Speedway is the third largest sports venue in America and the seventh largest in the world , housing up to 162,000 people . The track is so short that speeds here are far lower than is typical on most NASCAR oval tracks , but they are very fast compared to other short tracks due to the high banking . These features make for a considerable amount of `` paint swapping '' at the NASCAR races where the initial starting grid of 40 vehicles each in the Monster Energy Cup Series & the Xfinity Series , and 32 in the Truck Series , extends almost halfway around the track , meaning that slower qualifiers begin the race almost half a lap down . The congestion inherent in this facility and the power of the cars and trucks has been likened to `` flying fighter jets in a gymnasium '' . The track is one that tends to be either loved or hated by the fans and the drivers . Purists who grew up driving or attending races at older short tracks located at fairgrounds and similar places tend to love Bristol , while those raised on superspeedway racing tend to chafe at the lower speeds . Bristol races are often the scene of the highest number of yellow - flag caution laps in the NASCAR season ; with so many cars in such a small space , contact is almost inevitable . Until the Beneficiary Rule was instituted in 2004 ( the rule was instituted after the races at Bristol in 2003 ) , the short lap length and the unpredictable nature of the racing meant that this was one of the few remaining NASCAR tracks at which it was feasible for a driver to come back to win a race from several laps down ; at most modern tracks , especially superspeedways , that was almost impossible . The short lap length also cuts the other way ; any unscheduled pit stop for reasons such as a cut tire will result in the driver going two or more laps down as it is almost impossible to get anything done to a car during the time taken to complete one circuit , especially under green - flag conditions ( approximately 15 seconds ) . Thus , the disadvantage of losing laps means the chances of earning a free pass under the Beneficiary Rule is harder , since a driver losing two laps under a green - flag pit stop would have to race their way past the leader before the caution waved to regain one of their laps back , unless there are no cars one lap behind . Grandstand in 2007 The drag strip at this facility has long been nicknamed Thunder Valley . Both current Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series races held at Bristol are for 500 laps ; the spring race ( historically a day race ; however , the 2006 race ended under nighttime conditions because of Standard Time and the late afternoon start ) is sponsored by area grocery chain Food City , and considered one of NASCAR 's top ten annual races . The late summer race ( the popular night - time race , considered `` the toughest ticket in NASCAR '' to obtain ) has rotated among several sponsors . From 2001 to 2015 , Newell Rubbermaid sponsored this race , first under its Sharpie brand ( 2001 -- 2009 ) and then its Irwin Tools brand ( 2010 -- 2015 ) . Starting in 2016 , Bass Pro Shops will be primary sponsor of the summer race , with the National Rifle Association as a secondary sponsor . The old scoring pylon in August 2007 Bristol is a very fertile ground for other levels and types of racing ; Xfinity Series races here often draw over 100,000 spectators , making it one of the best - drawing Xfinity venues , and resulted in the Fox network televising the race nationally from 2004 to 2006 and ABC doing the same in 2007 and 2008 . In 2004 , it was the first Xfinity Series race of the season televised on broadcast network television , and the race , which had been 150 laps in 1982 , 200 laps in 1984 , and 250 laps since 1990 , was a 300 - lap race in 2006 . The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series ran a stand - alone race in June from 1995 to 1999 with the NASCAR Autozone Elite Division , Southeast Series . Since 2003 , the race has been a midweek ( Wednesday ) night race as part of the August night race weekend . In 2009 , the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour and the NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour ran a combined race prior to the truck race . In 2017 , the race was for the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour after NASCAR absorbed the NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour into the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour prior to the 2017 season . Many of the fans come from the East Tennessee area , but thousands more come from all parts of the country to experience Bristol 's unique brand of racing . Even in the off - season , the complex attracts fans during the Christmas season by facilitating a miles - long holiday lights display that culminates with a lap on the actual speedway track itself . Angle of banking ( edit ) The track long advertised its banking as 36 degrees , which at one time made it the most steeply banked track used by NASCAR . However , BMS now lists its banking at 24 to 30 degrees , reflecting the results of the track 's most recent resurfacing in 2007 . Even before the resurfacing , there was some dispute as to the accuracy of the measurement . In the 1980s , ESPN often claimed the turns were banked at 35 degrees during television telecast of events at the track . In an interview with Stock Car Racing 's Larry Cothren , driver Ryan Newman openly disputed the measurement of the banking of Bristol Motor Speedway 's turns . Newman 's crew measured the banking during a test session to aid with setups , and found that the turns were banked 26 degrees , rather than the advertised 36 degrees . A Camping World Truck Series open test noted the banking had dropped following resurfacing , to 22 -- 27 degrees , in a variable banking configuration . Sign proclaiming the track the `` World 's Fastest Half - Mile '' in 2007 Pit roads ( edit ) Another anomaly is that the short overall length means that there are two sets of pits , which also prevents a garage from being built due to limited space . Until 2002 , slower starters were relegated to those on the backstretch . That year , the rules were changed to form essentially one long pit road . Thus , Bristol has unique rules about pit road -- during caution , drivers who are wanting to pit must enter pit road in turn 2 , drive all the way down the back stretch through the apron of turns 3 and 4 and down the front stretch , exiting pit road in turn 1 . This rule eliminated the inherent disadvantage of pitting on the back stretch . During green flag pit stops , cars with pit stalls on the back stretch enter the pits in turn 2 and exit in turn 3 ; those with pits on the front stretch enter in turn 4 and exit in turn 1 . Since the new pit rules were instituted , several drivers ( most notably Jeff Gordon ) have made major mistakes during green flag pit stops by driving through both pit roads when only one is necessary for green flag pit stops . Track history ( edit ) Bristol Motor Speedway could very easily have opened in 1961 under a different name . The first proposed site for the speedway was in Piney Flats , Tennessee , but , according to Carl Moore , who built the track along with Larry Carrier and R.G. Pope , the idea met local opposition . So the track that could have been called Piney Flats International Speedway was built 5 miles ( 8.0 km ) up the road on U.S. Highway 11 - E in Bristol . The land upon which Bristol Motor Speedway is built was formerly part of Gray 's Dairy , at one point one of the largest dairies in the eastern half of the United States . Larry Carrier and Carl Moore traveled to Charlotte Motor Speedway in 1960 to watch a race and it was then that they decided to build a speedway in northeast Tennessee . However , they wanted a smaller model of CMS , something with a more intimate setting and opted to erect a . 5 - mile ( 800 m ) facility instead of mirroring the 1.5 - mile ( 2.4 km ) track in Charlotte . Work began on what was then called Bristol International Speedway in 1960 and it took approximately one year to finish . Carrier , Moore and Pope scratched many ideas for the track on envelopes and brown paper bags . Purchase of the land on which BMS now sits , as well as initial construction of the track , cost approximately $ 600,000 . The entire layout for BMS covered 100 acres ( 0.40 km ) and provided parking for more than 12,000 cars . The track itself was a perfect . 5 miles ( 800 m ) , measuring 60 feet ( 18 m ) wide on the straightaways , 75 feet ( 23 m ) wide in the turns , and the turns were banked at 22 degrees . Seating capacity for the very first NASCAR race at BMS -- held on July 30 , 1961 -- was 18,000 . Prior to this race the speedway hosted weekly races . The first driver on the track for practice on July 27 , 1961 was Tiny Lund in his Pontiac . The second driver out was David Pearson . Fred Lorenzen won the pole for the first race at BMS with a speed of 79.225 mph ( 127.500 km / h ) . Atlanta 's Jack Smith won the inaugural event -- the Volunteer 500 -- at BMS . However , Smith was not in the driver 's seat of the Pontiac when the race ended . Smith drove the first 290 laps then had to have Johnny Allen , also of Atlanta , take over as his relief driver . The two shared the $3,225 purse . The total purse for the race was $16,625 . Country music star Brenda Lee , who was 17 at the time , sang the national anthem for the first race at BMS . A total of 42 cars started the first race at BMS but only 19 finished . One of Bristol 's 2 cars that hit the crossover gate at turn 2 , this was driven by Michael Waltrip in 1990 In the fall of 1969 , BMS was reshaped and re-measured . The turns were banked at 36 degrees and it became a 0.533 - mile ( 858 m ) oval . The speedway was sold after the 1976 season to Lanny Hester and Gary Baker . In the spring of 1978 , the track name was changed to Bristol International Raceway . In August that year , the first night race was held on the oval , one that would become one of the most popular and highly anticipated events on the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series calendar . On April 1 , 1982 , Lanny Hester sold his half of the speedway to Warner Hodgdon . On July 6 , 1983 , Hodgdon completed a 100 percent purchase of Bristol Motor Speedway , as well as Nashville Speedway , in a buy - sell agreement with Baker . Hodgdon named Larry Carrier as the track 's general manager . On January 11 , 1985 , Hodgdon filed for bankruptcy . Afterwards , Larry Carrier formally took possession of the speedway and covered all outstanding debts . For many years , teams were unable to park their transporters inside the infield , nor did the track have any significant garage area . Team transporters were parked in a lot outside of the track . During racing periods , crews and participants were landlocked by the track , and thus , unable to return to the transporters for spare parts , repairs , or rest . In the early 1990s , the infield was reconfigured and completely paved . Teams began parking the transporters in an orchestrated , extremely tight arrangement that takes several hours , and highly skilled drivers , to accomplish . Teams are now able to work out of their transporters in the same fashion as other facilities . In 1992 , the speedway abandoned the asphalt surface that it had used since its inception , switching to the concrete surface it is now famous for . On January 22 , 1996 , Larry Carrier sold the speedway to Bruton Smith 's Speedway Motorsports , Inc . ( SMI ) , at a purchase price of $26 million . At the time of the sale , the facility seated 71,000 . On May 28 of the same year , the track 's name was officially changed to Bristol Motor Speedway . By August , 15,000 seats had been added bringing the seating capacity to 86,000 . BMS continued to grow and by April 1997 , it was the largest sports arena in Tennessee and one of the largest in the country , seating 118,000 . The speedway also boasted 22 new skyboxes . For the 1998 Goody 's 500 , the speedway featured more than 131,000 grandstand seats and 100 skyboxes . Improvements to the speedway since Smith took possession are in excess of $50 million . Under Smith 's ownership , all seating sections have been renamed for past race winners and NASCAR champions . The capacity for the 2000 Food City 500 was 147,000 as the Kulwicki Terrace and Kulwicki Tower were completed . Both were named after NASCAR star Alan Kulwicki , who was the reigning Cup Series champion when he died in a plane crash in 1993 while on his way to the spring race at Bristol , which he won the previous year . As a tribute to retiring star Darrell Waltrip , the entire Turn 3 and 4 sections were renamed in his honor in 2000 , including a section of seats in Turn 4 near the start - finish line marked as alcohol free . ( Waltrip refused to drive for a team in 1987 because its sponsor was associated with alcoholic beverages . ) Sections were also named in honor of the Allison family and David Pearson as part of the renaming of grandstands . In both 2000 and 2001 , the track was temporarily converted to a dirt track to host the World of Outlaws ' Channellock Challenge . The conversion involved moving 8,000 cubic feet ( 230 m ) of red clay onto the track 's surface . 700 cubic yards ( 540 m ) of sawdust were laid down first to cover the paved surface . The track was widened by 12 feet ( 3.7 m ) to 14 feet ( 4.3 m ) and the banking was reduced from 36 ° to somewhere between 22 ° to 24 ° . While the races proved to be very popular , the process of installing and removing a temporary surface required 14,000 truckloads of material to be shipped in and out of the track which wore heavily on the roads around the track . As has been the case since the SMI purchase of BMS , improvements continued in and around the Speedway in 2002 . The season saw the addition of a long - awaited infield pedestrian tunnel , allowing access into and out of the infield during on - track activity . Also in 2002 , a new building was constructed in the infield to house driver meetings . That same year also witnessed the christening of a new BMS Victory Lane atop the newly constructed building . Kurt Busch won the 2002 Food City 500 on March 24 and became the first Cup winner in the new BMS winner 's circle . Additional improvements in 2002 included new scoreboards located on the facing of the suites in Turns 2 and 3 . On Monday , August 26 , 2002 , work began on the most ambitious construction project since SMI 's purchase of BMS in 1996 . The entire backstretch , including the Speedway 's last remaining concrete seats , was demolished . The new backstretch increased the venue 's seating capacity to more than 160,000 . The new backstretch includes three levels of seating and is topped with 52 luxury skybox suites . These seats are also named for leading NASCAR figures , with Richard Petty , Cale Yarborough and Junior Johnson each having a section of the new seats named for them ; Dale Earnhardt was given a section on top in his memory . Kulwicki Grandstand before 2006 Sharpie 500 A 5,000 seat section of the turn 1 and 2 grandstand , on top of the Alan Kulwicki Grandstand , is now named the Rusty Wallace Tower . Additional improvements included a scoring pylon with a four - sided video screen akin to those in sports arenas hanging from their ceilings ; after the 2007 Food City 500 , a resurfacing of the entire concrete track along with widening the track 3 feet ( 0.91 m ) and reshaping the turns with variable banking , which was completed for the 2007 Sharpie 500 in August and their support events in the Busch ( now Xfinity Series ) and Craftsman Truck Series ( now Camping World Truck series ) . `` Colossus TV '' which replaced the old scoring pylon in 2016 The 2006 Pixar film Cars used Bristol Motor Speedway as the inspiration for the fictional Motor Speedway of the South , featured in the film 's opening scene . Cars director and NASCAR fan John Lasseter made it a 1 - mile track , compared with Bristol 's half - mile , to make the straightaways little longer for some of the scenes and allow for fans in the infield . A Guinness World Record was set in August 2008 when the sell - out crowd completed the largest crowd - wave in history . Another world record was set in August 2009 for the largest karaoke with a sold out crowd . Later , when the race was red flagged , the crowd performed the wave again , apparently tying the world record . On Saturday , March 20 , 2010 , during the NASCAR `` Saturday Night Showdown '' , where retired NASCAR drivers drove in a 35 - lap race for charity , a terrifying crash involving Larry Pearson and Charlie Glotzbach ended up in a near - tragedy . The race was put under immediate red flag . Pearson spun out in turn 2 , and as his car was sliding down the track , Glotzbach exited turn 2 and rammed into the driver 's door of Pearson 's car . As Glotzbach climbed out of his car and went to the infield care center , Pearson was unconscious in his car while rescue workers sawed off the roof of the car to get him out . After they got Pearson out , he regained consciousness , as reported by his brothers who talked to him . They also reported that Larry was able to move his arms around . Pearson was air lifted to a nearby hospital . Later , Glotzbach was driven to the same hospital . Before the race started back up , NASCAR legend David Pearson ( Larry 's father ) , who was also racing that day , withdrew from the race and went down to the hospital to see his son . On the week ending August 21 , 2010 , Kyle Busch became the first driver ever to win races in all three NASCAR national series during a single race meeting . He began the historic week by winning the Truck race on Wednesday . Two days later , he won the Nationwide race following an incident with Brad Keselowski . Late in the race , the two raced for the lead side - by - side before Keselowski bumped Busch during a pass . Busch responded with a harder bump to Keselowski , spinning the latter out . After the race , the two took verbal potshots at one another . Then , during driver introductions immediately before the Cup series race , Keselowski introduced himself and then shouted `` Kyle Busch is an ass ! '' Ultimately , there were no on - track incidents between the two in the Cup race . Busch also exchanged words with David Reutimann after the Cup race . Busch would repeat this feat at Bristol in 2017 , again winning all 3 races during a single race weekend . In 2016 the scoring pylon was replaced by a large 4 - sided display hung by cables over the center of the infield . Named `` Colossus TV '' , the track claims it is the largest outdoor - hung display of its kind in the world , with each screen measuring 30 feet ( 9.1 m ) by 63 feet ( 19 m ) . BMS has announced a new event called the Short Track U.S. Nationals in May 2017 . The event will feature five classes of cars that are featured at local weekly tracks : Super Late Models , Pro ( Crate ) Late Models , Southern Modifieds , Late Model Stock , Street Stocks , and Compact ( 4 cylinder ) cars . Champion Racing Association will be the lead sanctioning body of the event . The Super Late Model class is co-sanctioned with CRA Super Series , CARS Super Late Model Tour , and Southern Super Series cars . Every year since 2016 , PJ1 TrackBite is applied on the bottom of the track in an attempt to restore racing in the bottom groove that has been lost with changes to the banking in 2007 and 2012 . Bristol Dragway ( 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 . ( August 2012 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) In addition to the speedway , there is a . 25 - mile ( 0.40 km ) dragstrip that hosts an annual NHRA event each year , the NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals . Prior to its status as an NHRA national event track , the Bristol Dragway was the flagship strip of the rival IHRA organization ; the strip 's owner Larry Carrier formed the IHRA at the Bristol Dragway in November 1970 . The relationship ended when Bruton Smith took over its ownership . The dragstrip has long been nicknamed Thunder Valley due to its location and surrounding scenery . Bristol Dragway hosts all 3 nationally touring NHRA series , plus the NHRA Summit Racing Equipment Racing Series , NHRA Jr . Drag Racing League , AHDRA , and the Super Chevy Show . Non-motorsports usage ( edit ) In the fall of 2002 , students from Sullivan East High School in Bluff City , Tennessee attended the skyboxes at the Speedway as temporary school facilities , due to an outbreak of black mold that closed the school for nearly 6 weeks . In October 2010 , Remote Area Medical held a health clinic on the infield of the track , providing free vision , dental and general - medical care to people who do not have medical insurance . The free clinic at Bristol Motor Speedway has become an annual event with Tri-Cities Remote Area Medical continuing the service on the speedway 's infield in the Spring of 2012 and again in Spring 2013 . During the holiday season , Bristol Motor Speedway hosts Pinnacle Speedway in Lights , an event featuring christmas light displays along a 5 - mile route around the Speedway and its grounds , as well as other activities . The event benefits various local charities . Football ( edit ) In 1961 , the track hosted a National Football League preseason game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Redskins . In 2005 , track owner Bruton Smith made a public offer of $20 million apiece to the University of Tennessee ( UT ) and Virginia Tech to schedule a non-conference college football game between the Tennessee Volunteers and Virginia Tech Hokies. Smith suggested that grass could be grown in the infield section of the racetrack . Virginia Tech showed much interest and nearly agreed to the proposal , but UT , on the other hand , showed little or no interest and in fact avoided the offer which made this possibility ultimately fall by the wayside . On October 14 , 2013 , after years of attempts to schedule a game , Virginia Tech , UT , and Bristol Motor Speedway announced plans for the game to be held on Saturday , September 10 , 2016 . Organizers envisioned attendance for the non-conference game , dubbed the Battle at Bristol , to draw 150,000 spectators , which would surpass the current NCAA record for highest single - game attendance of 115,109 then held by Michigan . Bristol Motor Speedway 's location near the Virginia / Tennessee state line placed the game about 125 miles ( 201 km ) from the Virginia Tech campus in Blacksburg , Virginia and about 110 miles ( 180 km ) from the UT campus in Knoxville . The game , won 45 -- 24 by the Volunteers , drew an announced crowd of 156,990 , breaking the previous record by more than 40,000 . The football field remained in place for one week after the Tennessee -- Virginia Tech game . On September 17 , the local East Tennessee State Buccaneers played their scheduled Southern Conference home game against the Western Carolina Catamounts at BMS , an event billed as Bucs at Bristol . This was ETSU 's first Southern Conference home game since dropping football after the 2003 season , not reinstating the sport until 2015 . The Buccaneers came back from a 21 -- 3 second - quarter deficit to win 34 -- 31 .

Jeff Gordon won the first ever pole award in a Car of Tomorrow , and Kyle Busch won the race , becoming the first winner in the COT . On August 25 , 2008 at the Sharpie 500 , Bristol Motor Speedway set the Guinness World Record for the Largest Card Stunt performed at one time . The stunt was performed by the NASCAR fans who attended the event during the National Anthem . The stunt started with an American Flag that covered the entire stands during the National Anthem and was then followed by another stunt which was an advertisement for a Sprint Nextel Fan Sweepstakes . Bristol Motor Speedway is a true amphitheatre , being completely enclosed by seating , and holds 165,000 people , making it the largest in the world . In comparison , the Roman Colosseum 's seating capacity was 50,000 people and the Circus Maximus , a hippodrome , could accommodate an estimated 150,000 spectators .

"Bristol Motor Speedway, formerly known as Bristol International Raceway and Bristol Raceway, is a NASCAR short track venue located in Bristol, Tennessee. Constructed in 1960, it held its first NASCAR race on July 30, 1961. Despite its short length, Bristol is among the most popular tracks on the NASCAR schedule because of its distinct features, which include extraordinarily steep banking, an all concrete surface, two pit roads, and stadium-like seating. It has also been named one of the loudest NASCAR tracks.[2]\n"

The practice possibly originated among upper - class court dancers during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period in Imperial China ( 10th or 11th century ) , then became popular among the elite during the Song dynasty and eventually spread to all social classes by the Qing dynasty . Foot binding became popular as a means of displaying status ( women from wealthy families , who did not need their feet to work , could afford to have them bound ) and was correspondingly adopted as a symbol of beauty in Chinese culture . Foot binding limited the mobility of women , resulting in them walking in a swaying unsteady gait , although some women with bound feet working outdoor had also been reported . The prevalence and practice of foot binding varied in different parts of the country . Feet altered by binding were called lotus feet . It has been estimated that by the 19th century , 40 -- 50 % of all Chinese women may have had bound feet , and up to almost 100 % among upper class Han Chinese women . The Manchu Kangxi Emperor tried to ban foot binding in 1664 but failed . In the later part of the 19th century , Chinese reformers challenged the practice but it was not until the early 20th century that foot binding began to die out as a result of anti-foot - binding campaigns . Foot - binding resulted in lifelong disabilities for most of its subjects , and a few elderly Chinese women still survive today with disabilities related to their bound feet .

One story relates that during the Shang dynasty , the concubine Daji , who was said to have clubfoot , asked the Emperor to make footbinding mandatory for all girls in court so that her own feet would be the standard of beauty and elegance . Another story tells of a favorite courtesan of Emperor Xiao Baojuan , Pan Yu'er , who had delicate feet , dancing barefeet over a floor decorated with golden lotus flower design . The emperor expressed admiration and said that `` lotus springs from her every step ! '' ( 步 步 生 蓮 ) , a reference to the Buddhist legend of Padmavati under whose feet lotus springs forth . This story may have given rise to the terms `` golden lotus '' or `` lotus feet '' used to describe bound feet , there is however no evidence that Pan Yu'er ever bound her feet . The general view is that the practice is likely to have originated from the time of Emperor Li Yu ( Southern Tang of the Ten Kingdoms , just before the Song dynasty ) . Emperor Li Yu created a six - foot tall golden lotus decorated with precious stones and pearls , and asked his concubine Yao Niang ( zh ) to bind her feet in white silk into the shape of the crescent moon , and performed a ballet - like dance on the points of her feet on the lotus . Yao Niang 's dance was said to be so graceful that others sought to imitate her . The binding of feet was then replicated by other upper - class women and the practice spread . Spread of practice ( edit ) Small bound feet were once considered beautiful while large unbound feet were judged crude The practice of foot binding became popular among the elite during the Song dynasty , and the earliest known references to bound feet appeared in the later part of the eleventh century . In the twelfth century , in the earliest extant discourse on the practice of foot binding , Zhang Bangji ( zh ) considered that a bound foot should be arch - shape and small . A thirteenth - century writer , Che Ruoshui ( zh ) , complained that `` little children not yet four or five years old , who have done nothing wrong , nevertheless are made to suffer unlimited pain to bind ( their feet ) small . I do not know what use this is '' . Evidence from archaeology indicates that footbinding was practiced among the wives and daughters of officials in the thirteenth century . However , the style of bound feet found in Song Dynasty tombs , where the big toe was bent upwards , appears to be different from the norm of later eras , and the excessive smallness of the feet , the `` three - inch golden lotus '' , may be a later development in the 16th century . By the end of the Song dynasty , men would drink from a special shoe whose heel contained a small cup . During the Yuan dynasty , some would also drink directly from the shoe itself . This practice was called `` toast to the golden lotus '' and lasted until the late Qing dynasty . The first European to mention footbinding was the Italian missionary Odoric of Pordenone in the fourteen century during the Yuan dynasty. . However , no other foreign visitors to Yuan China mentioned the practice , including Ibn Battuta and Marco Polo ( who nevertheless noted the dainty walk of Chinese women who took very small steps ) , perhaps an indication that it was not a widespread or extreme practice at that time . The practice , however , became increasingly common among the gentry families , later spreading to the general population , as commoners and theatre actors alike adopted footbinding . By the Ming period , the practice was no longer the preserve of the gentry , but it was considered a status symbol . A lotus shoe for bound feet . The ideal length for a bound foot was 3 Chinese inches ( 寸 ) , which is around 4 inches ( 10 cm ) in western measurement . The Manchus issued a number of edicts to ban the practice , first in 1636 when the Manchu leader Hong Taiji declared the founding of the new Qing dynasty , then in 1638 , and another in 1664 by the Kangxi Emperor . However , few Han Chinese complied with the edicts and Kangxi eventually abandoned the effort in 1668 . By the 19th century , it was estimated that 40 - 50 % of Chinese women had bound feet , and among upper class Han Chinese women , the figure was almost 100 % . Bound feet became a mark of beauty and was also a prerequisite for finding a husband . It also became an avenue for poorer women to marry into money in some areas ; for example , in late 19th century Guangdong , it was customary to bind the feet of the eldest daughter of a lower - class family who was intended to be brought up as a lady . Her younger sisters would grow up to be bond - servants or domestic slaves and be able to work in the fields , but the eldest daughter would assume to never have the need to work . Women , their families , and their husbands took great pride in tiny feet , with the ideal length , called the `` Golden Lotus '' , being about three Chinese inches long ( around 4 inches ( 10 cm ) in Western measurement ) . This pride was reflected in the elegantly embroidered silk slippers and wrappings girls and women wore to cover their feet . Walking on bound feet necessitated bending the knees slightly and swaying to maintain proper movement and balance , a dainty walk that was also considered erotic to some men . Some women with bound feet may not walk without the support of their shoes and were severely limited in their mobility . However , many women with bound feet were still able to walk and work in the fields , albeit with greater limitation than their non-bound counterparts . In the 19th and early 20th century , dancers with bound feet were popular , as were circus performers who stood on prancing or running horses . Women with bound feet in one village in Yunnan Province even formed a regional dance troupe to perform for tourists in the late 20th century , though age has since forced the group to retire . In other areas , women in their 70s and 80s could be found providing limited assistance to the workers in the rice fields well into the 21st century . Variations and prevalence ( edit ) A comparison between a woman with normal feet ( left ) and a woman with bound feet in 1902 Foot binding was practiced in various forms and its prevalence varied in different regions . A less severe form in Sichuan , called `` cucumber foot '' ( huanggua jiao ) due to its slender shape , folded the four toes under but did not distort the heel and taper the ankle . Some working women in Jiangsu made a pretense of binding while keeping their feet natural . Not all women were always bound -- some women once bound remained bound all through their lives , but some were only briefly bound , and some were bound only until their marriage . Footbinding was most common among women whose work involved domestic crafts and those in urban areas ; it was also more common in northern China where it was widely practiced by women of all social classes , but less so in parts of southern China such as Guangdong and Guangxi where it was largely a practice of women in the provincial capitals or among the gentry . The Manchu `` flower bowl '' or `` horse - hoof '' shoes designed to imitate bound feet , mid 1880s . Manchu women , as well as Mongol and Chinese women in the Eight Banners , did not bind their feet , and the most a Manchu woman might do was to wrap the feet tightly to give them a slender appearance . The Manchus , wanting to emulate the particular gait that bound feet necessitated , invented their own type of shoe that caused them to walk in a similar swaying manner . These `` flower bowl '' ( 花 盆 鞋 ) or `` horse - hoof '' shoes ( 馬蹄 鞋 ) have a platform generally made of wood two to six inches in height and fitted to the middle of the sole , or they have a small central tapered pedestal . Many Han Chinese in the Inner City of Beijing also did not bind their feet , and it was reported in the mid-1800s that around 50 - 60 % of non-banner women had unbound feet . Bound feet nevertheless became a significant differentiating marker between Han women and Manchu or other banner women . The Hakka people however were unusual among Han Chinese in not practicing foot binding at all . Most non-Han Chinese people , such as the Manchus , Mongols and Tibetans , did not bind their feet , however , some non-Han ethnic groups did . Foot binding was practiced by the Hui Muslims in Gansu Province , the Dungan Muslims , descendants of Hui from northwestern China who fled to central Asia , were also seen practicing foot binding up to 1948 . In southern China , in Guangzhou , 19th century Scottish scholar James Legge noted a mosque that had a placard denouncing foot binding , saying Islam did not allow it since it constituted violating the creation of God . Demise ( edit ) Opposition to foot binding had been raised by some Chinese writers in the 18th century . In the mid-19th century , many of the rebel leaders of the Taiping Rebellion were of Hakka background where their women did not bind their feet , and foot binding was outlawed . The rebellion however failed , and Christian missionaries , who had provided education for girls and actively discouraged what they considered a barbaric practice , then played a part in changing elite opinion on footbinding through education , pamphleteering , and lobbying of the Qing court . The earliest - known Western anti-foot binding society , Jie Chan Zu Hui ( 截 纏足 会 ) , was formed in 1874 . In 1875 , 60 - 70 Christian women in Xiamen attended a meeting presided over by a missionary John MacGowan formed the Natural Foot ( tianzu , literally Heavenly Foot ) Society . It was then championed by the Woman 's Christian Temperance Movement founded in 1883 and advocated by missionaries including Timothy Richard , who thought that Christianity could promote equality between the sexes . Reform - minded Chinese intellectuals began to consider footbinding to be an aspect of their culture that needed to be eliminated . In the 1883 , Kang Youwei founded the Anti-Footbinding Society near Canton to combat the practice , and anti-footbinding societies sprang up across the country , with membership for the movement claimed to reach 300,000 . The anti-footbinding movement however stressed pragmatic and patriotic reasons rather than feminist ones , arguing that abolition of footbinding would lead to better health and more efficient labour . Reformers such as Liang Qichao , influenced by Social Darwinism , also argued that it weakened the nation , since enfeebled women supposedly produced weak sons . At the turn of the 20th century , early feminists , such as Qiu Jin , called for the end of foot - binding . Many members of anti-footbinding groups pledged to not bind their daughters feet nor to allow their sons to marry women with bound feet . In 1902 , the Empress Dowager Cixi issued an anti-foot binding edict , but it was soon rescinded . In 1912 , the new Republic of China government banned foot binding ( though not actively implemented ) , and leading intellectuals of the May Fourth Movement saw footbinding as a major symbol of China 's backwardness . Local warlords such as Yan Xishan in Shanxi engaged in their own sustained campaign against footbinding with feet inspectors and fines for those who continued with the practice , and regional governments of the later Nanjing regime also enforced the ban . The campaign against footbinding was very successful in some regions ; in one province , a 1929 survey showed that while only 2.3 % of girls born before 1910 had unbound feet , 95 % of those born after were not bound . In a region south of Beijing , Dingxian , where over 99 % of women were once bound , no new cases were found among those born after 1919 . In Taiwan , the practice was also discouraged by the ruling Japanese from the beginning of Japanese rule , and from 1911 to 1915 it was gradually made illegal . The practice however lingered on in some regions in China ; in 1928 , a census in rural Shanxi found that 18 % of women had bound feet , while in some remote rural areas such as Yunnan Province it continued to be practiced until the 1950s . In most parts of China , however , the practice had virtually disappeared by 1949 . The practice was also stigmatized in Communist China , and the last vestiges of footbinding was stamped out , with the last new case of footbinding reported in 1957 . By the 21st century , only a few elderly women in China still have bound feet . In 1999 , the last shoe factory making lotus shoes , the Zhiqiang Shoe Factory in Harbin , closed . Process ( edit ) A bound foot A bandaged bound foot The process was started before the arch of the foot had a chance to develop fully , usually between the ages of 4 and 9 . Binding usually started during the winter months since the feet were more likely to be numb , and therefore the pain would not be as extreme . First , each foot would be soaked in a warm mixture of herbs and animal blood ; this was intended to soften the foot and aid the binding . Then , the toenails were cut back as far as possible to prevent in - growth and subsequent infections , since the toes were to be pressed tightly into the sole of the foot . Cotton bandages , 3 m long and 5 cm wide ( 10 ft by 2 in ) , were prepared by soaking them in the blood and herb mixture . To enable the size of the feet to be reduced , the toes on each foot were curled under , then pressed with great force downwards and squeezed into the sole of the foot until the toes broke . The broken toes were held tightly against the sole of the foot while the foot was then drawn down straight with the leg and the arch of the foot was forcibly broken . The bandages were repeatedly wound in a figure - eight movement , starting at the inside of the foot at the instep , then carried over the toes , under the foot , and around the heel , the freshly broken toes being pressed tightly into the sole of the foot . At each pass around the foot , the binding cloth was tightened , pulling the ball of the foot and the heel together , causing the broken foot to fold at the arch , and pressing the toes underneath the sole . The binding was pulled so tightly that the girl could not move her toes at all and the ends of the binding cloth were then sewn so that the girl could not loosen it . An X-ray of two bound feet Schema of an x-ray comparison between an unbound and bound foot The girl 's broken feet required a great deal of care and attention , and they would be unbound regularly . Each time the feet were unbound , they were washed , the toes carefully checked for injury , and the nails carefully and meticulously trimmed . When unbound , the broken feet were also kneaded to soften them and the soles of the girl 's feet were often beaten to make the joints and broken bones more flexible . The feet were also soaked in a concoction that caused any necrotic flesh to fall off . Immediately after this agonizing pedicure , the girl 's broken toes were folded back under and the feet were rebound . The bindings were pulled even tighter each time the girl 's feet were rebound . This unbinding and rebinding ritual was repeated as often as possible ( for the rich at least once daily , for poor peasants two or three times a week ) , with fresh bindings . It was generally an elder female member of the girl 's family or a professional foot binder who carried out the initial breaking and ongoing binding of the feet . It was considered preferable to have someone other than the mother do it , as she might have been sympathetic to her daughter 's pain and less willing to keep the bindings tight . For most the bound feet eventually became numb . However , once a foot had been crushed and bound , attempting to reverse the process by unbinding is painful , and the shape could not be reversed without a woman undergoing the same pain all over again . Health issues ( edit ) The most common problem with bound feet was infection . Despite the amount of care taken in regularly trimming the toenails , they would often in - grow , becoming infected and causing injuries to the toes . Sometimes for this reason the girl 's toenails would be peeled back and removed altogether . The tightness of the binding meant that the circulation in the feet was faulty , and the circulation to the toes was almost cut off , so any injuries to the toes were unlikely to heal and were likely to gradually worsen and lead to infected toes and rotting flesh . The necrosis of the flesh would also initially give off a foul odour , and later the smell may come from various microorganisms that colonized the folds . If the infection in the feet and toes entered the bones , it could cause them to soften , which could result in toes dropping off ; although , this was seen as a benefit because the feet could then be bound even more tightly . Girls whose toes were more fleshy would sometimes have shards of glass or pieces of broken tiles inserted within the binding next to her feet and between her toes to cause injury and introduce infection deliberately . Disease inevitably followed infection , meaning that death from septic shock could result from foot - binding , and a surviving girl was more at risk for medical problems as she grew older . It is thought that as many as 10 % of girls may have died from gangrene and other infections due to footbinding . At the beginning of the binding , many of the foot bones would remain broken , often for years . However , as the girl grew older , the bones would begin to heal . Even after the foot bones had healed , they were prone to re-breaking repeatedly , especially when the girl was in her teenage years and her feet were still soft . Bones in the girls ' feet would often be deliberately broken again in order to improve the size or the shape of the feet . This was especially the case with the toes , as small toes were especially desirable . Older women were more likely to break hips and other bones in falls , since they could not balance securely on their feet , and were less able to rise to their feet from a sitting position . Other issues that might arise from foot binding included paralysis and muscular atrophy . Views and Interpretations ( edit ) Beauty and erotic appeal ( edit ) Bound feet were considered by some to be highly appealing Before footbinding was practiced in China , admiration for small feet already existed as demonstrated by the Tang dynasty tale of Ye Xian written around 850 by Duan Chengshi -- the tale of a girl who lost her shoe and then married a king who sought the owner of the shoe as only her foot was small enough to fit the shoe contains elements of the European story of Cinderella , and is thought to be one of its antecedents . For many , the bound feet were an enhancement to a woman 's beauty and made her movement more dainty , and a woman with perfect lotus feet was likely to make a more prestigious marriage . The desirability varies with the size of the feet -- the perfect bound feet and the most desirable ( called `` golden lotuses '' ) would be around 3 Chinese inches ( around 4 inches ( 10 cm ) in Western measurement ) or smaller , while those larger may be called `` silver lotuses '' ( 4 Chinese inches ) or `` iron lotuses '' ( 5 Chinese inches or larger and the least desirable for marriage ) . The belief that footbinding made women more desirable to men is widely used as an explanation for the spread and persistence of footbinding . Some also considered bound feet to be intensely erotic , and Qing Dynasty sex manuals listed 48 different ways of playing with women 's bound feet . Some men preferred never to see a woman 's bound feet , so they were always concealed within tiny `` lotus shoes '' and wrappings . According to Robert van Gulik , the bound feet were also considered the most intimate part of a woman 's body ; in erotic art of the Qing to Song periods where the genitalia may be shown , the bound feet were never depicted uncovered . Howard Levy however suggests that the barely revealed bound foot may also only function as an initial tease . An erotic effect of the bound feet was the lotus gait , the tiny steps and swaying walk of a woman whose feet had been bound . Women with such deformed feet avoided placing weight on the front of the foot and tended to walk predominantly on their heels . As a result , women who had undergone foot - binding would walk in a cautious and unsteady manner . Some men found the smell of the bound feet attractive , and some also apparently believed that bound feet would cause layers of folds to develop in the vagina , and that the thighs would become sensuously heavier and the vagina tighter . The psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud considered footbinding to be a `` perversion that corresponds to foot fetishism '' . Role of Confucianism ( edit ) A woman with her feet unwrapped A common argument is that the revival of Confucianism as Neo-Confucianism during the Song dynasty resulted in the decline of the status of women , and that in addition to promoting the seclusion of women and the cult of widow chastity , it also contributed to the development of footbinding . According to Robert van Gulik , the prominent Song Confucian scholar Zhu Xi stressed the inferiority of women as well as the need to keep men and women strictly separate . It was claimed by Lin Yutang among others , probably based on an oral tradition , that Zhu Xi also promoted footbinding in Fujian as a way of encouraging chastity among women , that by restricting their movement it would help keep men and women separate . However , historian Patricia Ebrey suggests that this story might be fictitious . Some Confucian moralists in fact disapproved of the erotic associations of footbinding , and unbound women were also praised . The Neo-Confucian Cheng Yi was said to be against footbinding and his family and descendants did not bind their feet . Modern Confucian scholars such as Tu Weiming also dispute any causal link between neo-Confucianism and footbinding . It has been noted that Confucian doctrine in fact prohibits mutilation of the body as people should not `` injure even the hair and skin of the body received from mother and father '' . It is however argued that such injunction applies less to women , rather it is meant to emphasize the sacred link between sons and their parents . Furthermore , it is argued that Confucianism institutionalized the family system in which women are called upon to sacrifice themselves for the good of the family , a system that fostered such practice . Confucian instructions on the moral behaviour of women would include examples of women who were prepared to die or suffer mutilation to show their commitment to the Confucian ethos . Historian Dorothy Ko proposed that footbinding may be an expression of the Confucian ideals of civility and culture in the form of correct attire or bodily adornment , and that footbinding was seen as a necessary part of being feminine as well as being civilized . Footbinding was often classified in Chinese encyclopedia as clothing or a form of bodily embellishment rather than mutilation ; one from 1591 for example placed footbinding in a section on `` Female Adornments '' that included hairdos , powders , and ear - piercings . According to Ko , the perception of footbinding as a civilised practice may be evinced from a Ming dynasty account that mentioned a proposal to `` entice ( the barbarians ) to civilize their customs '' by encouraging footbinding among their womenfolk . The practice was also carried out only by women on girls , and it served to emphasize the distinction between male and female , an emphasis that began from an early age . Anthropologist Fred Blake argued that the practice of footbinding was a form of discipline undertaken by women themselves , and perpetuated by women on their daughters , so as to inform their daughters of their role and position in society , and to support and participate in the neo-Confucian way of being civilized .

Adrienne Rich in her essay `` Compulsory Heterosexuality and Lesbian Existence '' used footbinding as an example of male power to confine women physically and prevent their movement , as well as a means of controlling women or robbing them of their children . Andrea Dworkin in Woman Hating regarded footbinding as an oppressive practice that crippled women , restricting them to the inferior status of `` sex objects and breeders '' . It is often seen as a form of violence against women . It has been argued that a woman with bound feet was limited in her ability to take part in politics , social life and the world , due to her restricted mobility . Bound feet rendered women dependent on their families , particularly their men , as they became largely restricted to their homes . The early Chinese feminist Qiu Jin , who underwent the painful process of unbinding her own bound feet , attacked footbinding and other traditional practices . She argued that women , by retaining their small bound feet , made themselves subservient as it would mean women imprisoning themselves indoors . She believed that women should emancipate themselves from oppression , that girls can ensure their independence through education , and that they should develop new mental and physical qualities fitting for the new era . The ending of the practice is seen as a significant event in the process of female emancipation in China . Other Interpretations ( edit ) Some scholars such as Laurel Bossen and Hill Gates reject the theories that bound feet in China were considered more beautiful , or that it was a means of male control over women , a sign of class status , or a chance for women to marry well . They argued that foot binding was important in work , and can be seen as a way by mothers to tie their daughters down , train them in handwork and keep them close at hand . It has also been argued that while the practice started out as a fashion , it persisted because it became an expression of Han identity after the Mongols invaded China in 1279 , and later the Manchus ' conquest in 1644 , as it was then practiced only by Han women . During the Qing Dynasty , attempts were made by the Manchus to ban the practice but failed , and it has been argued the attempts at banning may have in fact led to a spread of the practice among Han Chinese in the 17th and 18th centuries . In literature , film and television ( edit ) The bound foot has played a prominent part in many media works , both Chinese and non-Chinese , modern and traditional . These depictions are sometimes based on observation or research and sometimes on rumors or supposition . Sometimes , as in the case of Pearl Buck 's The Good Earth ( 1931 ) , the accounts are relatively neutral , implying a respect for Chinese culture and assuming that it is not the role of outsiders to promote reform . Sometimes the accounts seem intended to rouse like - minded Chinese and foreign opinion to abolish the custom , and sometimes the accounts imply condescension or contempt for China . Flowers in the Mirror ( 1837 ) by Ju - Chen Li includes chapters set in the `` Country of Women '' , where men bear children and have bound feet . The Three - Inch Golden Lotus ( 1994 ) by Feng Jicai presents a satirical picture of the movement to abolish the practice , which is seen as part of Chinese culture . In the film The Inn of the Sixth Happiness ( 1958 ) , Ingrid Bergman portrays British missionary to China Gladys Aylward who is assigned as a foreigner the task by a local Mandarin to unbind the feet of young women , an unpopular order that the civil government had failed to fulfill . Later , the children are able to escape troops by walking miles to safety . Ruthanne Lum McCunn wrote a biographical novel A Thousand Pieces of Gold ( 1981 , adapted into a 1991 film ) , about Polly Bemis , a Chinese American pioneer woman . It describes her feet being bound , and later unbound , when she needed to help her family with farm labour . Emily Prager 's short story `` A Visit from the Footbinder '' , from her collection of short stories of the same name ( 1982 ) , describes the last few hours of a young Chinese girl 's childhood before the professional footbinder arrives to initiate her into the adult woman 's life of beauty and pain . Lisa Loomer 's play The Waiting Room ( 1994 ) deals with themes of body modification . One of the three main characters is an 18th - century Chinese woman who arrives in a modern hospital waiting room seeking medical help for complications resulting from her bound feet . Lensey Namioka 's novel Ties that Bind , Ties that Break ( 1999 ) follows a girl named Ailin in China who refuses to have her feet bound , which comes to affect her future . In Kim Stanley Robinson 's alternate history novel The Years of Rice and Salt ( 2002 ) , Kang Tongbi is an apparently typical Chinese upper - class woman whose feet are bound . The hardships of women with bound feet are referenced several times , and after nearly losing her life during a flood due to her inability to walk or climb normally , a heavily pregnant Kang tells her husband that if their baby is a daughter , there will be no footbinding . Lisa See 's novel Snow Flower and the Secret Fan ( 2005 ) is about two Chinese girls who are destined to be friends . The novel is based upon the sacrifices women make to be married and includes the two girls being forced into getting their feet bound . The book was adapted into a 2011 film directed by Wayne Wang . Feng Shui ( 2004 ) is a Filipino horror movie about an old , cursed bagua mirror haunted by the malevolent soul of a foot - bound Chinese woman . The mirror showers luck and prosperity to its owner , but as an exchange , the foot - bound woman brings death to those who are near her . A sequel was released on December 25 , 2014 as the official entry to the 2014 Metro Manila Film Festival . In season 1 , episode 4 ( `` The Fourth Step '' ) of the 2014 Netflix series Marco Polo , the chancellor of the Song dynasty binds his niece 's feet while the girl 's mother is away . Diana Gabaldon 's novel Voyager ( 1993 ) which is set in the 18th century features a Chinese character named Yi Tien Cho who has a fetish for women with bound feet . Grandma Huang from Fresh Off the Boat had her feet bound when she was young growing up in China , and as a result is confined to a wheelchair .

The traditional Chinese practice of foot binding was widespread in Taiwan 's early years . Traditional Chinese society perceived women with smaller feet as being more beautiful . Women would bind their feet with long bandages to stunt growth . Even housemaids were divided into those with bound feet and those without . The former served the daughters of the house , while the latter were assigned heavier work . This practice was later regarded as barbaric . In the early years of the Japanese colonial period , the Foot - binding Liberation Society was established to promote the idea of natural feet , but its influence was limited . The fact that women suffered higher casualties in the 1906 Meishan quake with 551 men and 700 women dead , and 1,099 men and 1,334 women injured -- very different from the situation in Japan -- raised public concern . Foot binding was blamed and this gave impetus to the drive to stamp out the practice . '' Jump up ^ Favazza , Armando R.

"Foot binding was the custom of applying tight binding to the feet of young girls to modify the shape of the foot. The practice possibly originated among upper-class court dancers during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period in Imperial China (10th or 11th century), then became popular among the elite during the Song dynasty and eventually spread to all social classes by the Qing dynasty. Foot binding became popular as a means of displaying status (women from wealthy families, who did not need their feet to work, could afford to have them bound) and was correspondingly adopted as a symbol of beauty in Chinese culture. Foot binding limited the mobility of women, resulting in them walking in a swaying unsteady gait, although some women with bound feet working outdoor had also been reported. The prevalence and practice of foot binding varied in different parts of the country. Feet altered by binding were called lotus feet."

( March 2015 ) Fallopian tubes Schematic frontal view of female anatomy Vessels of the uterus and its appendages , rear view . ( Fallopian tubes visible at top right and top left . ) Details Precursor Müllerian duct Artery tubal branches of ovarian artery , tubal branch of uterine artery via mesosalpinx Lymph lumbar lymph nodes Identifiers Latin Tuba uterina Greek Salpinx MeSH A05. 360.319. 114.373 Dorlands / Elsevier 12827008 TA A09. 1.02. 001 FMA 18245 Anatomical terminology ( edit on Wikidata ) The Fallopian tubes , also known as uterine tubes or salpinges ( singular salpinx ) , are two very fine tubes lined with ciliated epithelia , leading from the ovaries of female mammals into the uterus , via the uterotubal junction . In non-mammalian vertebrates , the equivalent structures are called oviducts . Contents ( hide ) 1 Structure 1.1 Histology 1.2 Development 2 Function 2.1 Fertilization 3 Clinical significance 3.1 Patency testing 3.2 Inflammation 3.3 Cancer 3.4 Surgery 4 History 5 Additional images 6 See also 7 References 8 External links Structure ( edit ) In a woman 's body the tube allows passage of the egg from the ovary to the uterus . Its different segments are ( lateral to medial ) : the infundibulum with its associated fimbriae near the ovary , the ampullary region that represents the major portion of the lateral tube , the isthmus which is the narrower part of the tube that links to the uterus , and the interstitial ( also known as intramural ) part that transverses the uterine musculature . The ostium is the point where the tubal canal meets the peritoneal cavity , while the uterine opening of the Fallopian tube is the entrance into the uterine cavity , the uterotubal junction . Histology ( edit ) Microscopic view , with a stain , of a Fallopian tube A cross section of Fallopian tube shows four distinct layers : serosa , subserosa , lamina propria and innermost mucosal layer . The serosa is derived from visceral peritoneum . Subserosa is composed of loose adventitious tissue , blood vessels , lymphatics , an outer longitudinal and inner circular smooth muscle coats . This layer is responsible for the peristaltic action of the Fallopian tubes . Lamina propria is a vascular connective tissue . There are two types of cells within the simple columnar epithelium of the Fallopian tube ( oviduct ) . Ciliated cells predominate throughout the tube , but are most numerous in the infundibulum and ampulla . Estrogen increases the production of cilia on these cells . Interspersed between the ciliated cells are peg cells , which contain apical granules and produce the tubular fluid . This fluid contains nutrients for spermatozoa , oocytes , and zygotes . The secretions also promote capacitation of the sperm by removing glycoproteins and other molecules from the plasma membrane of the sperm . Progesterone increases the number of peg cells , while estrogen increases their height and secretory activity . Tubal fluid flows against the action of the ciliae , that is toward the fimbrial end . In view of longitudinal variation in histological features of tube , the isthmus has thick muscular coat and simple mucosal folds ; whereas ampulla has complex mucosal folds . Development ( edit ) Embryos have two pairs of ducts to let gametes out of the body ; one pair ( the Müllerian ducts ) develops in females into the Fallopian tubes , uterus and vagina , while the other pair ( the Wolffian ducts ) develops in males into the epididymis and vas deferens . Normally , only one of the pairs of tubes will develop while the other regresses and disappears in utero . The homologous organ in the male is the rudimentary appendix testis . Function ( edit ) Fertilization ( edit ) When an oocyte is developing in an ovary , it is encapsulated in a spherical collection of cells known as an ovarian follicle . Just prior to ovulation the primary oocyte completes meiosis I to form the first polar body and a secondary oocyte which is arrested in metaphase of meiosis II . This secondary oocyte is then ovulated . The follicle and the ovary 's wall rupture , allowing the secondary oocyte to escape . The secondary oocyte is caught by the fimbriated end and travels to the ampulla of the uterine tube where typically the sperm are met and fertilization occurs ; meiosis II is promptly completed . The fertilized ovum , now a zygote , travels towards the uterus aided by activity of tubal cilia and activity of the tubal muscle . The early embryo requires critical development in the Fallopian tube . After about five days the new embryo enters the uterine cavity and on about the sixth day implants on the wall of the uterus . The release of an oocyte does not alternate between the two ovaries and seems to be random . After removal of an ovary , the remaining one produces an egg every month . Occasionally the embryo implants into the Fallopian tube instead of the uterus , creating an ectopic pregnancy , commonly known as a `` tubal pregnancy '' . Clinical significance ( edit ) Patency testing ( edit ) While a full testing of tubal functions in patients with infertility is not possible , testing of tubal patency is important as tubal obstruction is a major cause of infertility . A hysterosalpingogram , laparoscopy and dye , or HyCoSy will demonstrate that tubes are open . Tubal insufflation is a standard procedure for testing patency . During surgery the condition of the tubes may be inspected and a dye such as methylene blue can be injected into the uterus and shown to pass through the tubes when the cervix is occluded . As tubal disease is often related to Chlamydia infection , testing for Chlamydia antibodies has become a cost - effective screening device for tubal pathology . Fallopian tube Inflammation ( edit ) Main article : Salpingitis Salpingitis is inflammation of the Fallopian tubes and may be found alone , or be a component of pelvic inflammatory disease ( PID ) . Saccular dilation of the fallopian tube at its narrow portion , due to inflammation , is known as salpingitis isthmica nodosa . Like PID and endometriosis , it may lead to Fallopian tube obstruction . Fallopian tube obstruction is associated with infertility and ectopic pregnancy . Cancer ( edit ) Main article : Fallopian tube cancer Fallopian tube cancer , which typically arises from the epithelial lining of the Fallopian tube , has historically been considered to be a very rare malignancy . Recent evidence suggests it probably represents a significant portion of what has been classified as ovarian cancer in the past . While tubal cancers may be misdiagnosed as ovarian cancer , it is of little consequence as the treatment of both ovarian and Fallopian tube cancer is similar . Surgery ( edit ) The surgical removal of a Fallopian tube is called a salpingectomy . To remove both sides is a bilateral salpingectomy . An operation that combines the removal of a Fallopian tube with removal of at least one ovary is a salpingo - oophorectomy . An operation to remove a fallopian tube obstruction is called a tuboplasty . History ( edit ) They are named after their discoverer , the 16th century Italian anatomist Gabriele Falloppio , who thought they resembled tubas , the plural of tuba in Italian being tube . Though the name Fallopian tube is eponymous , some texts spell it with a lower case f from the assumption that the adjective fallopian has been absorbed into modern English as the de facto name for the structure .

It was written by John Lennon and credited to Lennon -- McCartney . The Beatles performed the song over a pre-recorded backing track as Britain 's contribution to Our World , the first live global television link . Watched by over 400 million in 25 countries , the programme was broadcast via satellite on 25 June 1967 . The song captured the utopian sentiments of the Summer of Love era and topped singles charts in Britain , the United States and many other countries . `` All You Need Is Love '' was later included on the US Magical Mystery Tour album . It also appears in a sequence in the Beatles ' 1968 animated film Yellow Submarine and on the accompanying soundtrack album .

The band undertook the assignment at a time when they were committed to two film projects : a planned television special , Magical Mystery Tour , and the animated feature Yellow Submarine , for which they were contractually obliged to United Artists to supply four new recordings . `` All You Need Is Love '' was selected for Our World for its contemporary social significance over the Paul McCartney - written `` Your Mother Should Know '' . In a statement to Melody Maker magazine , Brian Epstein , the band 's manager , said of `` All You Need Is Love '' : `` It was an inspired song and they really wanted to give the world a message . The nice thing about it is that it can not be misinterpreted . It is a clear message saying that love is everything . '' Lennon later attributed the song 's simple lyrical statements to his liking of slogans and television advertising . He also likened the song to a propaganda piece , adding : `` I 'm a revolutionary artist . My art is dedicated to change . '' Author Mark Hertsgaard views it as the Beatles ' `` most political song yet '' up to 1967 and the origins of Lennon 's posthumous standing as a `` humanitarian hero '' . In the book The Beatles Anthology , McCartney and George Harrison say they were unsure whether `` All You Need Is Love '' was written for Our World , while Ringo Starr and George Martin , the Beatles ' producer , assert that it was . McCartney said : `` It was certainly tailored to ( the broadcast ) once we had it . But I 've got a feeling it was just one of John 's songs that was coming anyway . '' Composition and musical structure ( edit ) The song starts with the intro to the French national anthem , `` La Marseillaise '' , and contains elements from Glenn Miller 's 1939 hit `` In the Mood '' , as well as elements from Wayne Shanklin 's 1958 hit `` Chanson D'Amour '' . `` All You Need Is Love '' is notable for its asymmetric time signature and complex changes . The main verse pattern contains a total of 29 beats , split into two 7 4 measures , a single bar of 8 4 , followed by a one bar return of 7 4 before repeating the pattern . The chorus , however , maintains a steady 4 4 beat with the exception of the last bar of 6 4 ( on the lyric `` love is all you need '' ) . The prominent cello line draws attention to this departure from pop - single normality , although it was not the first time that the Beatles had experimented with varied metre within a single song : `` Love You To '' and `` She Said She Said '' were earlier examples . The song is in the key of G and the verse opens ( on `` There 's nothing you can do '' ) with a G chord and D melody note , the chords shifting in a I -- V -- vi chord progression while the bass simultaneously moves from the tonic ( G ) note to the root note of the relative minor ( E minor ) , via an F ♯ , supporting a first inversion D chord . After the verse `` learn how to play the game , it 's easy '' , the bass alters the prolonged V ( D ) chord with F ♯ , E , C and B notes . The song is notable for a dramatic use of a dominant or V chord ( here D ) on `` It 's easy . '' The `` Love , love , love '' chant involves chords in a I -- V7 -- vi shift ( G -- D -- Em ) and simultaneous descending B , A , G notes with the concluding G note corresponding not to the tonic G chord , but acting as the third of the E minor chord ; this also introducing the E note of the Em chord as a 6th of the tonic G scale . Supporting the same melody note with different and unexpected chords has been termed a characteristic Beatles technique . The song 's use of quotations from other musical works follows an approach adopted by the Beatles in Harrison 's composition `` It 's All Too Much '' , which similarly reflects the ideology behind the hippie movement during the 1967 Summer of Love . George Martin recalled that in `` All You Need Is Love '' `` the boys ... wanted to freak out at the end , and just go mad '' . During the long fade - out , elements of various other songs can be heard , including `` Greensleeves '' , Invention No. 8 in F major ( BWV 779 ) by J. S. Bach , `` In the Mood '' , and the Beatles ' own songs `` She Loves You '' and `` Yesterday '' . The first of these three pieces had been included in the arrangement by Martin . `` She Loves You '' and `` Yesterday '' were the result of improvisation by Lennon in rehearsals -- he had also experimented with interpolating `` She 'll Be Coming ' Round the Mountain '' -- although it was McCartney who led `` She Loves You '' on the subsequent studio recording . Recording ( edit ) Backing track ( edit ) The Beatles began recording the backing track for the song at Olympic Sound Studios in south - west London on 14 June 1967 . The producers of Our World were initially unhappy about the use of a backing track , but it was insisted upon by Martin , who said that `` we ca n't just go in front of 350 million people without some work '' . The lineup was Lennon on harpsichord , McCartney on double bass , Harrison on violin -- three instruments that were unfamiliar to the musicians -- while Starr played drums . The band recorded 33 takes , before choosing the tenth take as the best . Over the following days , they recorded overdubs including vocals , piano ( played by Martin ) , banjo , guitar and orchestral parts . Live broadcast ( edit ) There was a tremendous feeling that ( the Beatles ) really did believe all this , and they 'd very consciously written an anthemic piece that could be understood worldwide . This was the first time TV had been beamed to so many countries , and obviously most of the listeners would n't be English speakers . They wrote something really , really basic , and yet still got the countercultural message across . -- Barry Miles , 2007 The Our World broadcast on 25 June cut to Abbey Road studios at 8 : 54 pm London time , about 40 seconds earlier than expected . Martin and engineer Geoff Emerick were drinking scotch whisky to calm their nerves for the task of mixing the audio for a live worldwide broadcast , and had to scramble the bottle and glasses beneath the mixing desk when they were told they were about to go on air . McCartney and Lennon performing `` All You Need Is Love '' on Our World . Music journalist Peter Doggett has described the Beatles ' performance as `` one of the strongest visual impressions '' from the Summer of Love . For the broadcast , the Beatles ( except for Starr ) were seated on stools , accompanied by a thirteen - piece orchestra . The band were surrounded by friends and acquaintances seated on the floor , who sang along with the refrain during the fade - out . These guests included Mick Jagger , Eric Clapton , Marianne Faithfull , Keith Richards , Keith Moon , Graham Nash , Mike McGear , Patti Boyd and Jane Asher . The studio setting was designed to reflect the communal aspect of the occasion while also demonstrating the position of influence that the Beatles held among their peers , particularly following the recent release of their album Sgt . Pepper 's Lonely Hearts Club Band . Many of the invitations were extended through Beatles aides Mal Evans and Tony Bramwell , who visited various London nightclubs the night before the broadcast . Also among the studio audience were members of the Small Faces and the design collective the Fool . Balloons , flowers , streamers and `` Love '' graffiti added to the celebratory atmosphere . The Beatles and their entourage were dressed in psychedelic clothes and scarves ; in his report on the performance , Barry Miles likened the setting to a medieval gathering , broken only by the presence of modern studio equipment such as large headphones and microphones . According to Michael Frontani , an associate professor of communications , whereas Sgt . Pepper had showed the Beatles as artists and `` serious musicians '' , the broadcast emphasised their identity as members of the hippie counterculture . The segment opened with the band simulating a rehearsal for about a minute , before Martin suggested that the orchestral musicians should take their places for the recording as the tape was rewound . The Beatles , the orchestra and the guests then overdubbed onto the pre-recorded rhythm track . In addition to the lead and backing vocals and the orchestra , the live recorded elements were McCartney 's bass guitar part , Harrison 's guitar solo and Starr 's drums . Lennon , affecting indifference , was said to be nervous about the broadcast , given the potential size of the international TV audience . Dissatisfied with his singing , he rerecorded the solo verses for use on the single . Starr also overdubbed a drum roll at the start of the track , replacing a tambourine part . The programme was shown in black - and - white since colour television had yet to commence broadcasting in Britain and most of the world . The Beatles ' footage was colourised , based on photographs of the event , for the 1995 documentary The Beatles Anthology . Over the documentary 's end credits , a snippet of studio conversation from the 25 June overdubbing session includes Lennon telling Martin : `` I 'm ready to sing for the world , George , if you can just give me the backing ... '' The colour version of the band 's Our World appearance also appears on the Beatles ' 2015 video compilation 1 . Release and reception ( edit ) The day before the Our World broadcast , the Beatles decided that the song should be their next single . Issued in the UK on 7 July 1967 , with `` Baby , You 're a Rich Man '' on the B - side , it entered the national singles chart at number 2 before topping the listings for three weeks . It was similarly successful in the United States after its release on 17 July , reaching number one for a week . In his feature on the song in Rolling Stone , Gavin Edwards writes that `` All You Need Is Love '' `` hit Number One all over the world , providing the sing - song anthem for the Summer of Love , with a sentiment that was simple but profound '' . The Aegean Sea , off the coast of Greece . In the weeks following the release of the single , the Beatles holidayed on the Aegean in search of an island on which to establish a private commune . According to author Jonathan Gould , the Beatles `` bask ( ed ) in the glow of their artistic achievements '' while enjoying their first summer free of tour commitments , having quit performing concerts the previous year . In late July , the band investigated the possibility of buying a Greek island with a view to setting up a hippie - style commune for themselves , their partners and children , and members of their inner circle such as Neil Aspinall , Evans , Epstein and Derek Taylor . After sailing around the Aegean Sea and approving a location on the island of Leslo , the Beatles decided against the idea and returned to London . In early August , Harrison , accompanied by a small entourage including Taylor and Aspinall , made a highly publicised visit to the international hippie capital of Haight - Ashbury , in San Francisco . Writing in 2001 , Peter Doggett said that the Beatles ' performance on Our World `` remains one of the strongest visual impressions of the summer of love '' . Rolling Stone ranks `` All You Need Is Love '' 370th on its list of the `` 500 Greatest Songs of All Time '' and 21st on its `` 100 Greatest Beatles Songs '' list . Mojo placed it at number 28 on a similar list of the best Beatles songs . In his commentary for the magazine , producer and musician Dave Stewart admired the track 's `` jumbled - up mix of music -- marching band and rock'n'roll '' and recalled the Beatles ' appearance on Our World as `` a signal for those ( of us ) who felt we were trapped in a mental hospital in some suburban town to break out '' . `` All You Need Is Love '' was also included on the American LP version of Magical Mystery Tour in November 1967 , and on the Yellow Submarine album , animated film and 1999 `` songtrack '' . As a statement on the power of universal love , the song served as the moral in the film . It plays over a scene where Lennon 's character defeats the Blue Meanies by throwing the word `` Love '' at their evil Flying Glove . The track is also featured in Cirque du Soleil 's show Love , based on the songs of the Beatles , and its album . In 1978 , the Rutles parodied `` All You Need Is Love '' in their song `` Love Life '' . Cultural responses and legacy ( edit ) A demonstrator offers a flower to military policemen during an anti-Vietnam War demonstration in October 1967 ( photo by Marc Riboud ) . `` All You Need Is Love '' provided an anthem for the flower power movement but has since attracted criticism for its simplistic message . According to author Jon Wiener , `` All You Need Is Love '' served as `` the anthem of flower power '' during the summer of 1967 but also , like the Beatles ' Sgt . Pepper album , highlighted the ideological gulf between the predominately white hippie movement and the increasingly political ghetto culture in the United States . Wiener says that the song 's pacifist agenda infuriated many student radicals from the New Left and that these detractors `` continued to denounce ( Lennon ) for it for the rest of his life '' . In the decades following its release , Beatles biographers and music journalists have criticised the lyrics as naive and simplistic and detected a smugness in the message ; the song 's musical content has also been dismissed as unimaginative . Writing in 1988 , author and critic Tim Riley identified the track 's `` internal contradictions ( positivisms expressed with negatives ) '' and `` bloated self - confidence ( ' it 's easy ' ) '' as qualities that rendered it as `` the naive answer to ' A Day in the Life ' '' . Maybe in the Sixties we were naive and like children and later everyone went back to their rooms and said , `` We did n't get a wonderful world of flowers and peace . '' ... Crying for it was n't enough . The thing the Sixties did was show us the possibility and the responsibility we all had . -- John Lennon , 1980 Mark Hertsgaard considers `` All You Need Is Love '' to be among the Beatles ' finest songs and one of the few highlights of their recordings from the Magical Mystery Tour -- Yellow Submarine era . In his opinion , Lennon 's detractors fail to discern between `` shallow and utopian '' when ridiculing the song as socially irrelevant , and he adds : `` one may as well complain that Martin Luther King was a poor singer as criticize Lennon on fine points of political strategy ; his role was the Poet , not the Political Organizer . '' Ian MacDonald views the song as `` one of The Beatles ' less deserving hits '' and , in its apparently chaotic production , typical of the band 's self - indulgent work immediately after Sgt . Pepper . Regarding the song 's message , McDonald writes : During the materialistic Eighties , this song 's title was the butt of cynics , there being , obviously , any number of additional things needed to sustain life on earth . It should , perhaps , be pointed out that this record was not conceived as a blueprint for a successful career . `` All you need is love '' is a transcendental statement , as true on its level as the principle of investment on the level of the stock exchange . In the idealistic perspective of 1967 -- the polar opposite of 1987 -- its title makes perfect sense . In 2009 , George Vaillant , the chief investigator of the Grant Study , which tracked 268 Harvard undergraduates for a period of 80 years with the goal of finding what factors led to happiness , stated that its findings could be summarized as `` Happiness is love . Full stop . '' When pressed for being sentimental or too general , he revisited his findings and again stated , `` the short answer is L-O-V-E . '' The CBC claimed that the `` ( grant ) study proves Beatles right : All You Need is Love .

Jump up ^ The idea to film the performance in the company of their friends and fellow artists reprised the orchestral overdubbing session for `` A Day in the Life '' in February 1967 , when the Beatles had hosted a happening - style event at EMI 's Studio 1 . Author Ian MacDonald cites a television performance by Pink Floyd of their June 1967 single `` See Emily Play '' , when the band were `` surrounded by a kaftan - clad crowd of beatific followers '' , as a precedent . Jump up ^ Starr recalls that his outfit was designed by the Fool especially for the event . It included a yellow sequin jacket with a fur collar and edging , and rings of beads around his neck ; he says that together `` it weighed a ton . '' Jump up ^ Among a number of placards featuring the word `` love '' translated into a variety of languages , a sign was held up during the clip with the words `` Come Back Milly '' . This was a plea to an aunt of McCartney 's who was in Australia visiting her son and grandchildren . Jump up ^ When considering the island commune scheme , Lennon was similarly oblivious to the political upheaval in Greece , three months after the country had become a fascist state . At the time , he told the Beatles ' official biographer , Hunter Davies : `` I 'm not worried about the political situation in Greece , as long as it does n't affect us . I do n't care if the government is all fascist or communist . '' References ( edit ) Jump up ^ Unterberger , Richie . `` The Beatles ' All You Need Is Love ' '' . AllMusic .

No cleanup reason has been specified . Please help improve this article if you can . ( June 2010 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Deaf President Now ( DPN ) was a student protest in March 1988 at Gallaudet University , Washington , D.C. The university , established by an act of Congress in 1864 to serve the deaf , had never once been led by a Deaf president since its origination . The protest began on March 6 , 1988 , when the Board of Trustees announced its decision to appoint a hearing person over other highly qualified Deaf candidates as its seventh president . Gallaudet students , backed by a number of alumni , staff , and faculty , shut down the campus . Protesters barricaded gates , burned effigies , and gave interviews to the press demanding four specific concessions from the Board . The protest ended on March 13 , 1988 , after all four demands were met including the appointment of I. King Jordan , a deaf person , as university president . Contents 1 Origin 2 Protest 2.1 Monday , March 7 , 1988 2.2 Tuesday , March 8 , 1988 2.3 Wednesday , March 9 , 1988 2.4 Thursday , March 10 , 1988 2.5 Friday , March 11 , 1988 2.6 Sunday , March 13 , 1988 2.7 Aftermath 3 References 4 Sources 5 External links Origin ( edit ) Gallaudet University was established in 1864 in Washington , D.C. by Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet 's youngest child , Edward Miner Gallaudet . The college grew out of what had been originally a Deaf school for children , which had been established in 1857 . Gallaudet was the world 's first university for deaf and hard of hearing students . The historical background , cultural ideologies of the Deaf world , and the richness of the deaf community at this university was what set the stage for the protests that occurred . Deaf students at Gallaudet began campaigning for a deaf president when Jerry C. Lee , who had been president since 1984 , resigned in 1987 . The issue lay between the Board of Trustees , which consisted of a majority of hearing members , and the deaf community . There seemed to be doubts that the deaf community could match the abilities and achieve as much as a hearing community . The motivation behind the protest for DPN was not simply about the current election , but about uniting and strengthening deaf students , faculty , and staff . Students supporting the selection of a deaf president participated in the large rally beginning on March 1 , 1988 . For the rally , Gallaudet alumnus John Yeh ( later owner of Viable , a Rockville , Maryland company that offered Video Relay Service that allowed deaf people to communicate with hearing parties through the use of interpreters and web cameras ) underwrote a good deal of the costs of the rally , including bales of fliers and thousands of buttons that read `` Deaf President Now '' . Many other alumni participated in the events as well . A candlelight vigil was held on March 5 , 1988 . The Board of Trustees considered three finalists : University of North Carolina at Greensboro assistant chancellor Elisabeth Zinser , who is not deaf ; I. King Jordan , Gallaudet 's Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences ; and Harvey Corson , a deaf man serving as the superintendent at the Louisiana School of the Deaf . The drive behind this protest was not based solely on the initial selection of a new hearing president : the need for a deaf president began when deaf advocacy groups and organizations made it clear well in advance that they wanted a deaf president . Letter - writing endorsement for the cause included people like Vice-President George H.W. Bush and Senators Bob Dole , Bob Graham , Tom Harkin , and Lowell Weicker . The Gallaudet Board of Trustees claimed repeatedly that mainstream society was not `` on board '' with the idea of a deaf person as an executive leader of a University , despite this public support . On March 6 , 1988 , the Board announced the selection of Elisabeth A. Zinser to be the university 's seventh president . She had been assistant chancellor at the University of North Carolina , and was the only hearing person out of the three presidential candidates . Due to the strong push for a deaf president to preside over a deaf university , the outcome of this election was met with much opposition . Protest ( edit ) The protesters presented the Board of Trustees with four demands : Zinser 's resignation and the selection of a deaf person as president ; the immediate resignation of Jane Bassett Spilman , chair of the Board of Trustees ( who , it was alleged , announced the board 's choice with the comment that `` the deaf are not yet ready to function in the hearing world '' ) ; the reconstitution of the Board of Trustees with a 51 % majority of deaf members ( at the time , it was composed of 17 hearing members and 4 Deaf members ) ; there would be no reprisals against any students or staff members involved in the protest . Monday , March 7 , 1988 ( edit ) Students barricaded the campus gates using heavy - duty bicycle locks and hot - wired buses , moving them in front of the gates and letting the air out of the tires . The locked gates kept people from coming onto campus grounds while forcing the Board of Trustees to come and receive the protesters ' demands . The Board ignored the demands , and following an unsuccessful student / Board discussion , the supporters of DPN took their first march to the Capitol Building . The protest was led for the most part by four students , Bridgetta Bourne , Jerry Covell , Greg Hlibok , and Tim Rarus . Tuesday , March 8 , 1988 ( edit ) Students continued to rally on campus , burning effigies of Zinser and Spilman and the crowd continued to grow . Wednesday , March 9 , 1988 ( edit ) In light of spring break , the students refused to allow Gallaudet to reopen , claiming that they would n't open the gates until they were given a deaf president . Consequently , the students decided to stay at school during spring break . That day , Zinser said , `` It is the role of the Board to choose a president and to replace a president , '' stirring outrage in the protesters . Later that evening , Hlibok and Zinser , as well as deaf actress Marlee Matlin , were interviewed about the protest on ABC News ' `` Nightline '' program . Thursday , March 10 , 1988 ( edit ) Students met with Zinser . She agreed to the third and fourth demands of the students , but that did not satisfy the protesters . They stated that Gallaudet needed to stand as a role model for deaf people and other deaf schools , a goal easier accomplished with a deaf president . Meanwhile , in the University 's interpreter / communication center , hearing protesters received phone calls from businesses , friends and anonymous donations of money , food and other supplies to aid the protest . Other help outside the deaf community came from worker unions . Moe Biller , then president of the American Postal Workers Union , shared his support for the protest . One of the protest 's most important turn of events was delivered in a speech by Jordan , who proclaimed , `` I only have anger towards the decision of the Board . We need to focus the world 's attention on the larger issue . The four demands are justified . Zinser resigned . '' Friday , March 11 , 1988 ( edit ) More than 2,500 protesters marched on Capitol Hill , holding banners that said , `` We still have a dream ! '' Sunday , March 13 , 1988 ( edit ) Students , faculty , and staff celebrated in Gallaudet 's field house when the four demands were met and I. King Jordan was selected as the new president . During his first press interview after gaining the presidency , Jordan delivered one of his most famous quotes , `` Deaf people can do anything hearing people can do , except hear . '' Phil Bravin , who was deaf , was appointed chairperson of the Board since Spilman had resigned . Bravin , who was the first Deaf chair , was appointed as chair of the Lexington School for the Deaf following similar protests in 1994 . Aftermath ( edit ) Jordan announced his retirement in September 2005 and was criticized in 2006 when he backed Jane Fernandes ' candidacy to become his successor . In October 2006 , the four DPN student leaders from 1988 issued a public statement , which was harshly critical of both Jordan and Fernandes . In 2011 , John Yeh was sentenced to prison for defrauding the Federal Communications Commission ( FCC ) of more than $20 million .

And when they arrive there are shots fired . They chase the shooter only he was killed . They go back to the Captain who is with an ATF agent who tells them the weapon that was used is strictly for military use , which means someone got their hands on some and are trying to sell it . Riggs upon looking over what happened does n't think the one who was killed is the target . They think it 's someone else , a woman . They track her down and learn she 's from Russia and pregnant . She tells them that a few months ago she got involved with a guy and she caught him trying to unload the guns and when he saw her , he tried to kill her that 's why she ran .

Marsters first came to the attention of the general public playing the popular character Spike , a platinum - blond English vampire in the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its spin - off series , Angel , from 1997 to 2004 . Since then , he has gone on to play other science fiction roles , such as the alien supervillain Brainiac on the Superman - inspired series Smallville , the omnisexual time traveller Captain John Hart in British science - fiction show Torchwood , and terrorist Barnabas Greeley in Syfy 's Caprica . Marsters appeared in a supporting role in the 2007 movie P.S. I Love You . He appeared as a recurring character in the first season of the revival of Hawaii Five - 0 .

He grew up with his brother , Paul , and sister , Susan , in Modesto , California . Dreaming about becoming an actor since he played Eeyore in Winnie the Pooh in fourth grade , Marsters joined the theater group at Grace M. Davis High School and acted in many plays , including musicals . After graduation in 1980 , Marsters studied at the Pacific Conservatory of the Performing Arts in Santa Maria , California . In 1982 he moved to New York City to attend the Juilliard School , but left the program after two years .

( January 2014 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Early roles ( edit ) Marsters moved to Chicago , where his first professional acting role was Ferdinand in The Tempest at the Goodman Theatre in 1987 . In this production , he was rolled onto the stage strapped naked to a wheel . He also appeared with well - known Chicago companies such as the Northlight and the Bailiwick and with his own group , the Genesis Theatre Company . Marsters was nominated for a Joseph Jefferson Award for his performance of the lead role of Robespierre in the six - hour drama Incorruptible : The Life , Death and Dreams of Maximilian de Robespierre in 1989 . In 1990 , Marsters moved to Seattle and , with Liane Davidson and Greg Musick , formed the New Mercury Theatre . In this and other companies , Marsters was involved in a wide range of plays , including Teechers ( a British play by John Godber ) , Anouilh 's Antigone , an original work based on the Dr. Seuss books , and Shaw 's Misalliance . In 1992 , Marsters got his first acting job on TV -- on Northern Exposure , in which he appeared for two episodes as a bellboy and a church minister . He has made guest appearances on television series such as Andromeda , as well as the independent films Chance ( 2002 ) , Winding Roads ( 1999 ) , and the 2005 USA Network movie Cool Money . In 1999 , he had a small role in the remake of House on Haunted Hill as a TV cameraman . Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel ( edit ) It was his appearance as villain ( and later anti-hero ) Spike on the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer ( first appearing in Season Two ) that attracted the attention of the general public . For the role , he put on a London accent and he received informal coaching from English co-star Anthony Stewart Head . Spike had been intended as a short role by creator Joss Whedon , who initially resisted Spike 's popularity . `` He made it very clear he did not want the show to be taken over by another romantic vampire , '' Marsters told 411Mania , adding `` to Joss , vampires were supposed to be ugly , evil , and quick to be killed ... when I was cast Joss did not imagine me to be popular ; Spike was supposed to be dirty and evil , punk rock , and then dead . '' The massive fan response prevented his character from being killed off , however , allowing him a presence throughout the second season . There were no plans to bring him back as a regular until the character Cordelia Chase was moved to the spin - off show , Angel , and , as Marsters told 411Mania , `` they needed someone to tell Buffy she was stupid and about to die , and they decided to bring me back '' . He thought he would not last as , being a vampire , he was restricted to night - time scenes and could not feasibly interact with the characters as often as Cordelia . Instead , Spike would last until the very end of the show and become a romantic partner for Buffy . After the conclusion of Buffy the Vampire Slayer , Marsters carried Spike over to the Buffy spin - off show , Angel , also in a regular role ( second title billing after David Boreanaz ) , although only in the fifth and final season of the show . Marsters was asked to keep quiet about this , as his return was intended to be a surprise , but the network promoted Spike 's return as soon as it could in order to attract advertising . In April 2004 , following the end of Angel , Marsters had Spike 's trademark bleached hair shaved off for charity live on television in On Air with Ryan Seacrest . When the show was cancelled , there were plans for several TV movies . Talk of a Spike movie began in 2004 and Whedon still had plans into 2006 , before it was formally abandoned . Marsters had said he would only return to play Spike if the project took place within five years , feeling he would become too old to play the character ( an immortal ) after that : As long as I could do it within , say , the next four or five years ; past that , I 'm too old . Spike 's a vampire , man , and I 've got high standards . -- James Marsters , TV Guide Interview , March 3 , 2005 Aside from playing the character , Marsters co-wrote a comic book one - shot for Dark Horse Comics , Buffy the Vampire Slayer : Spike and Dru . After both Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel ended , Marsters became active with the canonical comic book series of both shows on stories centering around his character . A canonical graphic novel set during the seventh season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer , Spike : Into the Light , written by Marsters himself , was released by Dark Horse Comics on July 16 , 2014 . Other work ( edit ) Marsters has narrated the audiobooks for The Dresden Files , a series of detective novels with a supernatural bent and was also contracted to narrate the fourth in the series , Summer Knight , in 2006 . He reprised his reading of the series , including `` Proven Guilty '' , `` White Night '' , `` Small Favor '' , and `` Turn Coat '' , produced by Penguin Audio and `` Death Masks '' audio book which was released in late 2009 . `` Blood Rites '' , `` Dead Beat '' , `` Turn Coat '' , `` Changes '' and the side short story collection in the same universe , `` Side Jobs '' , were also recorded by Marsters . However , he did not do the Dresden book `` Ghost Story '' due to a scheduling conflict , leaving fellow Smallville alumnus John Glover to record it ; this caused a fairly noteworthy public outcry by audiobook listeners . He returned for the book `` Cold Days '' . On March 24 , 2015 , Jim Butcher announced that a new version of the `` Ghost Story '' audiobook is being released effective April 21 , 2015 with Marsters returning as narrator in response to fan demands . In 2005 , Marsters filmed a thriller , Shadow Puppets , with Jolene Blalock . Late that year , Marsters appeared on the television series Smallville playing Dr. Milton Fine -- the popular Superman villain `` Brainiac '' -- in eight episodes throughout the show 's fifth season . He reprised his role as Brainiac in a four - episode arc in the seventh season , and did a cameo voice - over in season eight . He returned for one episode in the show 's final season . On October 29 , 2005 , Marsters presented two performances of his own abridged adaptation of Shakespeare 's Macbeth with American actress Cheryl Puente as Lady Macbeth , followed by question and answer sessions with the audience and acoustic concerts in London . In September 2006 , Marsters ' interpretation of Godber 's Teechers was performed on the Queen Mary with two other actors in Los Angeles . This is a play he had received critical acclaim for as a stage actor prior to his television work . Marsters co-starred in the 2007 cinematic release of P.S. I Love You alongside Kathy Bates , Hilary Swank , and Gerard Butler . Released in September 2007 , Marsters starred in the direct - to - DVD animated movie , Superman : Doomsday , providing the voice of iconic villain Lex Luthor . The film received mostly positive reviews . In 2008 , he guest - starred in Torchwood , a spin - off of the popular British science fiction television series Doctor Who , first appearing in the episode `` Kiss Kiss , Bang Bang '' , as the nefarious omnisexual time traveller Captain John Hart . He reprised the role in the last two episodes of the second season . He portrayed `` Piccolo Daimao '' in the live - action film adaptation of the popular Dragon Ball manga and anime , directed by James Wong and produced by Stephen Chow , which was released worldwide on April 10 , 2009 . On July 20 , 2009 , the movie , Moonshot , aired on the History Channel in celebration of the 40th Anniversary of the 1969 moon landing . In this film , Marsters portrays Buzz Aldrin . On August 19 , 2009 , it was announced that he signed on for a role in Caprica as the terrorist leader Barnabas Greeley . Also in August 2009 , Marsters ' science fiction western , High Plains Invaders aired on the Syfy Channel . In this alien invasion flick , Marsters portrays Sam Danville . It was announced in August 2010 that Marsters would be joining the cast of Syfy Channel series Three Inches as a series regular portraying Troy Hamilton , a former government agent who now leads a team of superheroes . On June 24 , 2011 , Marsters appeared in an L.A. Theatre Works radio production of The Importance of Being Earnest , in the part of Sir John Worthing , which aired on June 25 , 2011 . He has also appeared on Supernatural in season 7 episode 5 , `` Shut Up , Dr. Phil '' , which aired October 21 , 2011 , alongside fellow Buffyverse costar Charisma Carpenter . He appeared in Warehouse 13 season 4 ( 3 episodes ) as Bennett Sutton , which aired in 2013 . Musical career ( edit ) Marsters had played in bands and solo in bars and clubs for many years and enjoyed several successful sell - out solo gigs at Los Angeles clubs before forming a band . For these solo gigs he mainly performed covers of classic folk and rock musicians such as Tom Waits , Neil Young , James Taylor , and Bruce Springsteen . He sang in `` Once More , with Feeling '' , a musical episode of Buffy : solo parts in `` Walk Through the Fire '' and `` Something To Sing About '' , and `` Rest in Peace '' completely on his own . James Marsters performing at the Union Chapel Concert in Islington , London on May 4 , 2007 In 2003 -- 04 , Marsters was the lead singer for the rock band Ghost of the Robot . Their debut album Mad Brilliant was released on February 2 , 2003 . The band played its first gigs in Los Angeles and Paris . They went on to play successful dates in and around Los Angeles and two sold - out tours of Europe in 2003 and 2004 . In addition to Mad Brilliant , they released three singles ( `` Valerie '' , `` David Letterman '' and `` New Man '' ) and one mid-length EP , It 's Nothing . All these releases carried tracks written and co-written by Marsters . Several of Ghost of the Robot 's earlier songs were loosely based on the Buffy the Vampire Slayer characters Buffy , Dawn and Faith . Marsters ' solo musical career was launched in October 2004 , in London . His solo acoustic tour of the United Kingdom in April 2005 sold out . A new solo album `` Civilized Man '' produced by Chris Rhyne and Andrew Rosenthal was released on April 15 , 2005 . It includes several new songs as well as the popular `` Katie '' and `` Smile '' . He has played songs from the album live in Detroit , Houston , and Sacramento . Ten of the eleven songs are written by Marsters . New solo songs not included on the album but sung at live solo concerts include `` Birth of the Blues '' , `` Finer than Gold '' , `` Louise '' , and `` London City '' . `` Finer than Gold '' , `` London City '' , and `` Louise '' were composed while on tour in the UK in April 2005 . `` Birth of the Blues '' was composed by Marsters in Amsterdam in 2004 while touring with his now - defunct band . During his October 2005 mini-tour of the UK , Marsters introduced other new songs to his sets : `` Button Down Vandals '' , `` Up On Me '' , and `` All That She Wanted '' . These songs were available only as part of his recently released Words and Music DVD , which has his abridged version of Macbeth as well as a full - length solo music performance . During his September 2006 convention , James Marsters & Friends , he debuted several new songs including `` The Truth Is Heavy '' , `` Fall of Night '' , `` Jealous Man '' , and `` Not A Millionaire '' . All these songs reflect his new blues music and folk sound . He also performed a cover version of Keb Mo 's classic `` Baby Blue '' . In 2007 , he performed live several times in the UK and debuted two new songs written in Cardiff . `` Layabout '' and `` Looking at You '' reflect a more upbeat light folk move in Marsters ' music . These songs as well as some of his previously unrecorded work were released on Marsters ' second solo album , formally launched in Los Angeles and Cardiff in October and November 2007 respectively . This album , Like A Waterfall , includes twelve songs , all written by Marsters . Most had been performed and recorded live but not in the studio . An exception is `` When I Was A Baby '' , a song never previously performed in public . Like A Waterfall was produced by Ryan Shore and features several other musicians including Blair Sinta , who has drummed for Alanis Morissette , and Five for Fighting bass player Curt Schneider . In 2008 , Marsters ' Waterfall Tour came to the UK . He played three dates across London and performed for three consecutive days in Milton Keynes . The concert at the packed Union Chapel in Islington was an acoustic set featuring material from his album -- Like A Waterfall . On May 1 , 2009 he returned to the Union Chapel , followed by a `` Marstersclass '' event at The Drill Hall , in London on May 2 . The sell - out event included a concert , Q&A session plus opportunities to get autographs and photos . On May 3 , 2009 , he performed at London 's 100 Club . In 2010 James ' music career continued when the band Ghost of the Robot reformed : they have since released the album B - Sider which is available on iTunes . Afterwards , in 2011 , the album Murphy 's Law was released which is also available for download in iTunes . There are also multiple other EPs available on the iTunes Store . Personal Life ( edit ) Marsters is divorced from Liane Davidson , with whom he has one son , born May 1996 . He is also raising his niece and regards her as his daughter . It was announced on May 21 , 2010 , that Marsters had proposed to girlfriend Patricia Rahman in Trier , Germany . On January 14 , 2011 , they married in a private civil ceremony in Los Angeles .

2870636091064628306 | Diastole | Diastole - wikipedia Diastole For the Greek punctuation mark sometimes known as the diastole , see hypodiastole . Heart performance during ventricular diastole : early diastole is a suction mechanism that draws blood ' down ' from the left atrium ( pink ) and right atrium ( blue ) into each of the two ventricles . Then , in late ventricular diastole , the two atrial chambers begin to contract ( atrial systole ) , forcing additional blood flow into the ventricles . Diastole / daɪˈæstəliː / is the part of the cardiac cycle during which the heart refills with blood after the emptying done during systole ( contraction ) . Ventricular diastole is the period during which the two ventricles are relaxing from the contortions of contraction , then dilating and filling ; atrial diastole is the period during which the two atria likewise are relaxing , dilating , and filling . The term diastole originates from the Greek word διαστολη , meaning dilation . Contents 1 Role in cardiac cycle 1.1 Early ventricular diastole 1.2 Late ventricular diastole 1.3 Atrial diastole 2 Diastolic pressure 3 Clinical notation 4 Diagnostic value 5 Effects of impaired diastolic function 6 See also 7 References 8 External links Role in cardiac cycle ( edit ) A Wiggers diagram , showing various events during diastole . During early ventricular diastole -- see vertical bar marked `` Isovolumetric relaxation '' -- pressure in each ventricle ( light - blue trace ) begins to drop quickly from the wave height reached during systole . When ventricular pressures fall below those in the atrial chambers the atrioventricular ( mitral and tricuspid ) valves open , causing blood volume ( red trace ) in the atria to flow into the ventricles . + In late ventricular diastole , the two atrial chambers begin to contract ( atrial systole ) , causing blood pressure in both atria to increase and forcing additional blood volume into the ventricles . This beginning of the atrial systole is known as the atrial kick -- see `` Ventricular volume '' trace ( red ) directly above the P - wave in the electrocardiogram trace ( dark - blue ) . For a healthy human heart the entire cardiac cycle typically runs less than one second . That is , for a typical heart rate of 75 beats per minute ( bpm ) , the cycle requires 0.3 sec in ventricular systole ( contraction ) -- pumping blood to all body systems from the two ventricles ; and 0.5 sec in diastole ( dilation ) , re-filling the four chambers of the heart , for a total time of 0.8 sec to complete the entire cycle . Early ventricular diastole ( edit ) During early ventricular diastole , pressure in the two ventricles begins to drop from the peak reached during systole . When pressure in the left ventricle falls below that in the left atrium the mitral valve opens due to a negative pressure differential ( suction ) between the two chambers , causing blood in the atrium ( accumulated during atrial diastole ) to flow into the ventricle ( see graphic at top ) . Likewise , the same phenomenon runs simultaneously in the right ventricle and right atrium through the tricuspid valve . The ventricular filling flow ( or flow from the atria into the ventricles ) has an early ( E ) diastolic component caused by ventricular suction , and then a late one created by atrial systole ( A ) . The E / A ratio is used as a diagnostic measure as its diminishment indicates probable diastolic dysfunction . Late ventricular diastole ( edit ) Early diastole is a suction mechanism between the atrial and ventricular chambers . Then , in late ventricular diastole , the two atrial chambers contract ( atrial systole ) , causing blood pressure in both atria to increase and forcing additional blood flow into the ventricles . This beginning of the atrial systole is known as the atrial kick -- see Wiggers diagram . The atrial kick does not supply the larger amount of flow ( during the cardiac cycle ) as about 80 per cent of the collected blood volume flows into the ventricles during the active suction period . Atrial diastole ( edit ) At the beginning of the cardiac cycle , all four chambers of the heart -- two atria and two ventricles -- are in relaxation and dilation , or diastole . The atria are filling with separate blood volumes returning to the right atrium ( from the vena cavae ) and to the left atrium ( from the lungs ) . After chamber and back pressures equalize , the mitral and tricuspid valves open , and the ' return ' blood flows are passed through the atria into the ventricles . When the ventricles have completed most of their filling , the atria begin to contract ( atrial systole ) , forcing blood under pressure into the ventricles . Now the ventricles start to contract , and as pressures within the ventricles rise , the mitral and tricuspid valves are closed . As pressures within the ventricles continue to rise , they exceed the ' back pressures ' in the aorta trunk and the pulmonary arteries trunk , and the aortic and pulmonary valves open -- and now blood is ejected from the heart . Ejection causes pressure within the ventricles to fall , and , simultaneously , the atria begin to refill ( atrial diastole ) . Finally , pressures within the ventricles fall below the back pressures in the trunks of the aorta and the pulmonary arteries , and the aortic and pulmonary valves close . The ventricles start to relax , the mitral and tricuspid valves begin to open , and the cycle begins again . In summary , when the ventricles are in systole and contracting , the atria are relaxed and collecting blood as ' return ' flows . When , in late diastole , the ventricles become fully dilated , the atria begin to contract , pumping blood to the ventricles . The atria feed a steady supply of blood to the ventricles , thereby serving as a reservoir to the ventricles and ensuring that these pumps never run dry . This coordination ensures that blood is pumped and circulated efficiently throughout the body . Diastolic pressure ( edit ) Here the adjective `` diastolic '' refers to the function ( the `` diastolic function '' ) of filling the heart with blood between muscle contractions ; it describes that portion of the cardiac cycle opposite to contraction . The term is more commonly known as one of the two main components for measuring blood pressure -- namely , `` diastolic pressure '' refers to the lowest pressure in the arterial bloodstream occurring during each heartbeat . ( The other component is `` systolic pressure '' , which is the highest arterial pressure during each heartbeat . ) Clinical notation ( edit ) When blood pressure is stated for medical purposes , it is usually written with the systolic and diastolic pressures separated by a slash , for example , 120 / 80 mmHg . This clinical notation is not a mathematical figure for a fraction or ratio , nor a display of a numerator over a denominator . Rather it is a medical notation showing the two clinically significant pressures involved ( i.e. , systolic - slash - diastolic , or 120 / 80 ) . It is often shown followed by a third number , the value of the heart rate ( in beats per minute ) , which typically is measured jointly with blood pressure readings . Diagnostic value ( edit ) Examining diastolic function during a cardiac stress test is a good way to test for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction . Classification of Blood Pressure in Adults Blood Pressure Classification Systolic BP ( mmHg ) Diastolic BP ( mmHg ) Optimal < 120 and < 80 Prehypertension 120 -- 139 or 80 -- 89 Stage 1 Hypertension 140 -- 159 or 90 -- 99 Stage 2 Hypertension ≥ 160 or ≥ 100 Effects of impaired diastolic function ( edit ) Brain natriuretic peptide ( BNP ) is a cardiac neurohormone secreted from ventricular myocytes ( ventricular muscle cells ) at the end of diastole -- this in response to the normal , or sub-normal ( as the case may be ) , stretching of cardiomyocytes ( heart muscle cells ) during systole . Elevated levels of BNP indicate excessive natriuresis ( excretion of sodium to the urine ) and decline of ventricular function , especially during diastole . Increased BNP concentrations have been found in patients who experience diastolic heart failure . Impaired diastolic function can result from the decreased compliance of ventricular myocytes , and thus the ventricles , which means the heart muscle does not stretch as much as needed during filling . This will result in a reduced end diastolic volume ( EDV ) and , according to the Frank - Starling mechanism , a reduced EDV will lead to a reduced stroke volume , thus a reduced cardiac output . Over time , decreased cardiac output will diminish the ability of the heart to circulate blood efficiently throughout the body .

About Wikipedia | about 80 of blood is passed from the atria to ventricles by | [
"Early diastole is a suction mechanism between the atrial and ventricular chambers.[4] Then, in late ventricular diastole, the two atrial chambers contract (atrial systole), causing blood pressure in both atria to increase and forcing additional blood flow into the ventricles. This beginning of the atrial systole is known as the atrial kick—see Wiggers diagram. The atrial kick does not supply the larger amount of flow (during the cardiac cycle) as about 80 per cent of the collected blood volume flows into the ventricles during the active suction period.[5]\n"

Take My Life and Let it Be and Thy Life for Me ( also known as I Gave My Life for Thee ) are two of her best known hymns . She also wrote hymn melodies , religious tracts , and works for children . She did not occupy , and did not claim for herself , a prominent place as a poet , but by her distinct individuality , she carved out a niche which she alone could fill .

Her father , William Henry Havergal ( 1793 -- 1870 ) , was a clergyman , writer , composer , and hymnwriter . Her brother , Henry East Havergal , was a priest in the Church of England and an organist . When she was five , her father removed to the Rectory of St. Nicholas , Worcester . In August , 1850 , she entered Mrs. Teed 's school , whose influence over her was most beneficial . In the following year she says , `` I committed my soul to the Saviour , and earth and heaven seemed brighter from that moment . '' A short sojourn in Germany followed . In 1852 / 3 , she studied in the Louisenschule , Düsseldorf , and at Oberkassel . Havergal 's scholastic acquirements were extensive , embracing several modern languages , together with Greek and Hebrew . On her return to England , she was confirmed in Worcester Cathedral , 17 July 1853 . Career ( edit ) In 1860 , she left Worcester upon her father resigning the Rectory of St. Nicholas , and resided at different periods in Leamington , and at Caswell Bay , Swansea , broken by visits to Switzerland , Scotland , and North Wales . She led a quiet life , not enjoying consistent good health . She supported the Church Missionary Society . Havergal 's hymns were frequently printed by J. & R. Parlane as leaflets , and in Caswall & Co. as ornamental cards . They were gathered together from time to time and published in her works as follows : -- ( 1 ) Ministry of Song , 1869 ; ( 2 ) Twelve Sacred Songs for Little Singers , 1870 ; ( 3 ) Under the Surface , 1874 ; ( 4 ) Loyal Responses , 1878 ; ( 5 ) Life Mosaic , 1879 ; ( 6 ) Life Chords , 1880 ; and ( 7 ) Life Echoes , 1883 . About fifteen of the more important of Havergal 's hymns , including `` Golden harps are sounding , '' `` I gave my life for thee , '' `` Jesus , Master , Whose I am , '' `` Lord , speak to me , '' `` O Master , at Thy feet , '' `` Take my life and let it be , '' `` Tell it out among the heathen , '' &c. , are annotated under their respective first lines . The rest , which are in collections , number nearly fifty . These are noted here , together with dates and places of composition , from the Havergal manuscripts and the works in which they were published . Those which were printed in Parlane 's Series of Leaflets are distinguished as ( P. , 1872 , &c . ) and those in Caswall 's series ( C. , 1873 , &c ) . A happy New Year ! Even such may it be .

Death and legacy ( edit ) Memorial plaque situated near Caswell Bay Astley , Worcestershire , St Peter 's Church : grave of Frances Ridley Havergal and of her father William Henry Havergal Havergal died of peritonitis near Caswell Bay on the Gower Peninsula in Wales at age 42 . She is buried in the far western corner of the churchyard at St Peter 's parish church , Astley , together with her father and near her sister , Maria Vernon Graham Havergal . Her sisters saw much of her work published posthumously . Havergal College , a private girls ' school in Toronto , is named after her . The composer Havergal Brian adopted the name as a tribute to the Havergal family . Style and themes ( edit ) Her hymns praised the love of God , and His way of salvation to this end , and for this object , her whole life and all her powers were consecrated . She lived and spoke in every line of her poetry . Her religious views and theological bias were distinctly set forth in her poems , and may be described as mildly Calvinistic , without the severe dogmatic tenet of reprobation . The burden of her writings was a free and full salvation , through the Redeemer 's merits , for every sinner who will receive it , and her life was devoted to the proclamation of this truth by personal labours , literary efforts , and earnest interest in Foreign Missions . Selected works ( edit ) `` Take my life , and let it be '' ( hymn ) Take my life , and let it be Consecrated , Lord , to Thee . Take my moments and my days ; Let them flow in ceaseless praise . Take my hands , and let them move At the impulse of Thy love . Take my feet , and let them be Swift and beautiful for Thee . Take my voice , and let me sing , Always , only , for my King . Take my lips , and let them be Filled with messages from Thee . Take my silver and my gold ; Not a mite would I withhold . Take my intellect , and use Every power as Thou shalt choose . Take my will , and make it Thine ; It shall be no longer mine . Take my heart , it is Thine own ; It shall be Thy royal throne . Take my love ; my Lord , I pour At Thy feet its treasure - store .

"Frances Ridley Havergal (14 December 1836 – 3 June 1879) was an English religious poet and hymnwriter. Take My Life and Let it Be and Thy Life for Me (also known as I Gave My Life for Thee) are two of her best known hymns. She also wrote hymn melodies, religious tracts, and works for children. She did not occupy, and did not claim for herself, a prominent place as a poet, but by her distinct individuality, she carved out a niche which she alone could fill.[1] \n"

Season 2 ( edit ) The second season will take place around Halloween ( October 31 ) of 1984 , about a year after the events of the first season , and will explore the `` bigger mythology '' of Will 's disappearance , according to the Duffers . Levy described the second season as being about the `` determined desire to return to normalcy in Hawkins '' for Will , his family , his friends , and the other residents in the town affected by the events . Will suffers from `` some sort of post-traumatic stress disorder '' from his time in the Upside Down , and has visions of a `` shadow monster '' that is reaching down from the sky , and which serves as a `` singular threat '' that connects the various narratives in the season . Joyce is attempting to help Will deal with it , while trying to date her old classmate Bob to cover up her own emotions . Nancy and Mike are mourning for the apparent losses of their friends Barb and Eleven , respectively ; however , Eleven is still alive and is a `` major part of the season '' , according to Matt Duffer , and her backstory will be explored during the season . Chief Hopper struggles under the weight of having to cover up for the events of the first season to protect Will and Joyce ; while some residents of Hawkins will be aware of these events , `` certain people ... do n't know what happened '' , according to the Duffers . The laboratory , as well as the rift to the Upside Down , remains open and run by Dr. Owens . The characters will face `` different kinds of horror '' in contrast to the monster from the first season . Parts of the season will also take place outside of Hawkins , Indiana . Despite revealing episode titles for the season in the announcement teaser in order `` to provide some hint of where we were going in season two without giving anything away , '' Matt Duffer stated that some of the titles would change , since there were some things `` we did n't want to put on there because we felt like it would give too much away , '' and because `` people are smart on the fucking internet '' with fan - created `` videos analyzing the chapter titles ... right on a lot '' of how the titles related to the plot of the season .

The two had completed writing and producing their 2015 film Hidden , which they had tried to emulate the style of M. Night Shyamalan , however , due to changes at Warner Bros. , its distributor , the film did not see a wide release and the Duffers were unsure of their future . To their surprise , television producer Donald De Line approached them , impressed with Hidden 's script , and offered them the opportunity to work on episodes of Wayward Pines alongside Shyamalan . The brothers were mentored by Shyamalan during the episode 's production , so that when they finished , they felt they were ready to produce their own television series . The Duffer Brothers prepared a script that would be essentially be similar to the series ' actual pilot episode , along with a 20 - page pitch book to help shop the series around for a network . They pitched the story to a number of cable networks , all of which rejected the script on the basis that they felt a plot centered around children as leading characters would not work , asking them to make it a children 's show or to drop the children and focus on Hopper 's investigation in the paranormal . In early 2015 , Dan Cohen , the VP of 21 Laps Entertainment , brought the script to his colleague Shawn Levy . They subsequently invited the Duffer Brothers to their office and purchased the rights for the series , giving full authorship of it to the brothers . After reading the pilot , the streaming service Netflix purchased the whole season for an undisclosed amount ; the show was subsequently announced for a planned 2016 release by Netflix in early April 2015 . The Duffer Brothers stated that at the time they had pitched to Netflix , the service had already gotten recognized for its original programming , such as House of Cards and Orange is the New Black , with well - recognized producers behind them , and were ready to start giving upcoming producers like them a chance . The brothers started to write out the series and brought Levy and Cohen in as executive producers to start casting and filming . The series was originally known as Montauk , as the setting of the script was in Montauk , New York and nearby Long Beach locations . The brothers had chosen Montauk as it had further Spielberg ties with the film Jaws , where Montauk was used for the fictional setting of Amity Island . After deciding to change the narrative of the series to take place in the fictional town of Hawkins instead , the brothers felt they could now do things to the town , such as placing it under quarantine , that they really could not envision with a real location . With the change in location , they had to come up with a new title for the series under direction from Netflix 's Ted Sarandos so that they could start marketing it to the public . The brothers started by using a copy of Stephen King 's Firestarter novel to consider the title 's font and appearance , and came up with a long list of potential alternatives . Stranger Things came about as it sounded similar to another King novel , Needful Things , though Matt noted they still had a `` lot of heated arguments '' over this final title . With the critical success of the first season after its release in July 2016 , speculation on a possible second season was raised . By the end of July , the Duffer Brothers had outlined a plan for such a season if it was green - lit , and Netflix 's CEO Reed Hastings said in early August that the company `` would be dumb not to '' renew Stranger Things for a second season . On August 31 , 2016 , Netflix announced it had renewed Stranger Things for a second season of nine episodes , to be released in 2017 . The Duffer Brothers revealed that the series had been renewed for a second season before the first premiered . Regarding the decision to wait more than a month after the first season premiered to announce the renewal , Matt Duffer said , `` it actually ended up working because it had built up to this fever pitch . I guess that 's what ( Netflix ) were intending to do all the time . '' The Duffers wrote the second season to make the combined first and second season feel like a complete work , but setting elements in place to go forward with additional seasons if they are green - lit . While most of the story for the second season had been decided before the first season aired , the Duffers took in the audience reactions from the first season to adjust some of the details within the second season . They knew they would not have the same element of audience surprise as when the show aired anew , and were aware fans wanted to see certain elements , but Ross said `` ... the point is not to give everyone what they think they want . Because I do n't think they really know what they want . '' The Duffers felt that the second season should be treated more as a sequel rather than a continuation , and thus have opted to call the second Stranger Things 2 . This approach had some trepidation from Netflix , since the company felt movie sequels typically have a bad reputation , but the Duffers pointed out that there had been many successful sequels that suprassed the original film , and felt confident with this name . Levy noted in November 2016 that he and the Duffer Brothers had already begun planning a potential third season , saying , `` We are not gon na be caught off guard and we do n't wan na be making stuff up like the day before we have to write it and make it , so we are definitely optimistic and we have started thinking ahead . '' The Duffers anticipate having about four to five seasons to work with , but do want to `` have a really finite ending '' while the show is still at a height of success , according to Matt , rather than letting it draw out indefinitely . In August 2017 , the Duffers confirmed there would be a third season , with the likelihood of one more season following that , with Ross saying , `` We 're thinking it will be a four - season thing and then out '' . Writing ( edit ) The idea of Stranger Things started with how the brothers felt they could take the concept of the 2013 film Prisoners , detailing the moral struggles a father goes through when his daughter is kidnapped , and expand it out over eight or so hours in a serialized television approach . As they focused on the missing child aspect of the story , they wanted to introduce the idea of `` childlike sensibilities '' they could offer , and toyed around with the idea of a monster that could consume humans . The brothers thought the combination of these things `` was the best thing ever '' . To introduce this monster into the narrative , they considered `` bizarre experiments we had read about taking place in the Cold War '' such as Project MKUltra , which gave a way to ground the monster 's existence in science rather than something spiritual . This also helped them to decide on using 1983 as the time period , as it was a year before the film Red Dawn came out , which focused on Cold War paranoia . Subsequently , they were able to use all their own personal inspirations from the 1980s , the decade they were born , as elements of the series , crafting it in the realm of science fiction and horror . The Duffer Brothers have cited as influence for the show ( among others ) : Stephen King novels ; films produced by Steven Spielberg , John Carpenter , Wes Craven , Robert Zemeckis , George Lucas and Guillermo del Toro ; films such as Alien and Stand by Me ; Japanese anime such as Akira and Elfen Lied ; and video games such as Silent Hill and The Last of Us . The Duffers also believe that they may have brought influenced from other works unintentionally , including Beyond the Black Rainbow and D.A.R.Y.L. , discovered by reviewing fan feedback on the show . With Netflix as the platform , the Duffer Brothers were not limited to a typical 22 - episode format , opting for the eight - episode approach . They had been concerned that a 22 - episode season on broadcast television would be difficult to `` tell a cinematic story '' with that many episodes . Eight episodes allowed them to give time to characterization in addition to narrative development ; if they had less time available , they would have had to remain committed to telling a horror film as soon as the monster was introduced and abandon the characterization . Within the eight episodes , the brothers aimed to make the first season `` feel like a big movie '' with all the major plot lines completed so that `` the audience feels satisfied '' , but left enough unresolved to indicate `` there 's a bigger mythology , and there 's a lot of dangling threads at the end '' , something that could be explored in further seasons if Netflix opted to create more . Regarding writing for the children characters of the series , the Duffer Brothers considered themselves as outcasts from other students while in high school and thus found it easy to write for Mike and his friends , and particularly for Barb . Joyce was fashioned after Richard Dreyfuss 's character Roy Neary in Close Encounters of the Third Kind , as she appears `` absolutely bonkers '' to everyone else as she tries to find Will . Other characters , such as Billy in the second season , have more villainous attributes that are not necessarily obvious from the onset ; Matt explained that they took further inspiration from Stephen King for these characters , as King `` always has really great human villains '' that may be more malicious than the supernatural evil . Casting ( edit ) The Duffers cast David Harbour as Sheriff Hopper believing this was his opportunity to have a lead character in a work . In June 2015 , it was announced that Winona Ryder and David Harbour had joined the series as Joyce and as the unnamed chief of police , respectively . The brothers ' casting director Carmen Cuba had suggested Ryder for the role of Joyce , which the two were immediately drawn to because of her predominance in the films of the 1980s . Levy believed Ryder could `` wretch up the emotional urgency and yet find layers and nuance and different sides of ( Joyce ) '' . Ryder praised that the show 's multiple storylines required her to act for Joyce as `` she 's out of her mind , but she 's actually kind of onto something '' , and that the producers had faith she could pull off the difficult role . The Duffer Brothers had been interested in Harbour before , who until Stranger Things primarily had smaller roles as villainous characters , and they felt that he had been `` waiting too long for this opportunity '' to play a lead , while Harbour himself was thrilled by the script and the chance to play `` a broken , flawed , anti-hero character '' . Additional casting followed two months later with Finn Wolfhard as Mike , Millie Bobby Brown in an undisclosed role , Gaten Matarazzo as Dustin , Caleb McLaughlin as Lucas , Natalia Dyer as Nancy , and Charlie Heaton as Jonathan . In September 2015 , Cara Buono joined the cast as Karen , followed by Matthew Modine as Martin Brenner a month later . Additional cast who recur for the first season include Noah Schnapp as Will , Shannon Purser as Barbara `` Barb '' Holland , Joe Keery as Steve Harrington , and Ross Partridge as Lonnie , among others . Actors auditioning for the children roles read lines from Stand By Me . The Duffer Brothers estimated they went through about a thousand different child actors for the roles . They noted that Wolfhard was already `` a movie buff '' of the films from the 1980s period and easily filled the role , while they found Matarazzo 's audition to be much more authentic than most of the other audition tapes , and selected him after a single viewing of his audition tape . As casting was started immediately after Netflix greenlit the show , and prior to the scripts being fully completed , this allowed some of the actor 's takes on the roles to reflect into the script . The casting of the young actors for Will and his friends had been done just after the first script was completed , and subsequent scripts incorporated aspects from these actors . The brothers said Modine provided significant input on the character of Dr. Brenner , whom they had not really fleshed out before as they considered him the hardest character to write for given his limited appearances within the narrative . In October 2016 , it was announced that Schnapp and Keery had been promoted to the main cast for the second season , after each recurring in the first season , and that Sadie Sink and Dacre Montgomery would join the main cast as Max and Billy , respectively . Ryder , Harbour , Wolfhard , Brown , Matarazzo , McLaughlin , Dyer and Heaton also return for the season . Joining them in recurring roles include Sean Astin as Bob Newby , Paul Reiser as Owens , Linnea Berthelsen as Roman , and Brett Gelman as Murray Bauman . For Owens , the Duffer Brothers had referred to the character in their pitch to Netflix for the season as `` Paul Reiser '' , and specifically alluded to Reiser 's character Burke in Aliens , with Ross referencing James Cameron 's casting choice for that film , saying , `` ( Cameron ) thought people would inherently trust ( Reiser ) and it would be a twist '' . Reiser 's son was a fan of Stranger Things , and gave his father an early appreciation of the series , so that by when the production called his agent about the role , Reiser was excited for the part . Filming ( edit ) The brothers had desired to film the series around the Long Island area to match the initial Montauk concept . However , with filming scheduled to take place in November 2015 , it was difficult to shoot in Long Island in the cold weather , and the production started scouting locations in and around the Atlanta , Georgia area . The brothers , who grew up in North Carolina , found many places that reminded them of their own childhoods in that area , and felt the area would work well with the narrative shift to the fictional town of Hawkins , Indiana . The filming of the first season began in November 2015 and was extensively done in Atlanta , Georgia , with the Duffer Brothers and Levy handling the direction of individual episodes . Jackson served as the basis of the fictional town of Hawkins , Indiana . Other shooting locations included the Georgia Mental Health Institute as the Hawkins National Laboratory site , Bellwood Quarry , Patrick Henry High School in Stockbridge , Georgia , for the middle and high school scenes , Emory University 's Continuing Education Department , the former city hall in Douglasville , Georgia , Georgia International Horse Park , the probate court in Butts County , Georgia , Old East Point Library and East Point First Baptist Church in East Point , Georgia , Fayetteville , Georgia , Stone Mountain Park , Palmetto , Georgia , and Winston , Georgia . Set work was done at Screen Gem Studios in Atlanta . The series was filmed with a Red Dragon digital camera . Filming for the first season concluded in early 2016 . While filming , the brothers tried to capture shots that could be seen as homages to many of the 1980s references they recalled . Their goal was not necessarily to fill the work with these references , but instead make the series seem to the viewer as a 1980s film . They spent little time reviewing those works and instead went by memory . Matt further recognized that some of their filming homages were not purposely done but were found to be very comparable , as highlighted by a fan - made video comparing the show to several 1980s works side - by - side . Matt commented on the video that `` Some were deliberate and some were subconscious . '' The brothers recognized that many of the iconic scenes from these 1980s films , such as with Poltergeist , was about `` taking a very ordinary object that people deal with every day , their television set , and imbuing it with something otherworldly '' , leading to the idea of using the Christmas light strings for Will to communicate with Joyce . The brothers attributed much of the 1980s feel to set and costume designers and the soundtrack composers that helped to recreate the era for them . Lynda Reiss , the head of props , had about a $220,000 budget , similar to most films , to acquire artifacts of the 1980s , using eBay and searching through flea markets and estate sales around the Atlanta area . The bulk of the props were original items from the 1980s with only a few pieces , such as the Dungeons & Dragons books made as replicas . Filming for the second season began on November 7 , 2016 , once again in and around the Atlanta Metro area . Andrew Stanton , director of Pixar 's Finding Nemo and WALL - E , will direct the fifth and sixth episode of the second season . Levy stated that Stanton was a big fan of the show and called up Levy , offering his directorial abilities for the show . Rebecca Thomas will direct the seventh episode of the season . Unlike the first season , which they were able to film without any real security issues , the heightened awareness of the show required the producers to take significant steps to keep the show 's production in secret while filming the second season . They spoke to the production team of HBO 's Game of Thrones for tips and advice for securing filming sites , and have adopted code names for the series and various parts to allow the actors to speak to others without revealing details of the show 's plot . The second season concluded filming on June 2 , 2017 . Visual effects ( edit ) To create the aged effect for the series , a film grain was added over the footage , which was captured by scanning in film stock from the 1980s . The Duffers wanted to scare the audience , but not to necessarily make the show violent or gory , following in line with how the 1980s Amblin Entertainment films drove the creation of the PG - 13 movie rating . It was `` much more about mood and atmosphere and suspense and dread than they are about gore '' , though they were not afraid to push into more scary elements , particularly towards the end of the first season . The brothers had wanted to avoid any computer - generated effects for the monster and other parts of the series and stay with practical effects . However , the six - month filming time left them little time to plan out and test practical effects rigs for some of the shots . They went with a middle ground of using constructed props including one for the monster whenever they could , but for other shots , such as when the monster bursts through a wall , they opted to use digital effects . Post-production on the first season was completed the week before it was released to Netflix . The title sequence uses closeups of the letters in the Stranger Things title with a red tint against a black background as they slide into place within the title . The sequence was created by the studio Imaginary Forces , formerly part of R / GA , led by creative director Michelle Doughtey . Levy introduced the studio to the Duffer Brothers , who explained their vision of the 1980s - inspired show , which helped the studio to fix the concept the producers wanted . Later , but prior to filming , the producers sent Imaginary Forces the pilot script , the synth - heavy background music for the titles , as well as the various book covers from King and other authors that they had used to establish the title and imagery , and were looking for a similar approach for the show 's titles , primarily using a typographical sequence . They took inspiration from several title sequences of works from the 1980s that were previously designed by Richard Greenberg under R / GA , such as Altered States and The Dead Zone . They also got input from Dan Perri , who worked on the title credits of several 1980s films . Various iterations included having letters vanish , to reflect the `` missing '' theme of the show , and having letters cast shadows on others , alluding to the mysteries , before settling into the sliding letters . The studio began working on the title sequence before filming , and took about a month off during the filming process to let the producers get immersed in the show and come back with more input . Initially they had been working with various fonts for the title and used close - ups of the best features of these fonts , but near the end the producers wanted to work with ITC Benguiat , requiring them to rework those shots . The final sequence is fully computer generated , but they took inspiration from testing some practical effects , such as using Kodalith masks as would have been done in the 1980s , to develop the appropriate filters for the rendering software . The individual episode title cards used a `` fly through '' approach , similar to the film Bullitt , which the producers had suggested to the studio . Music ( edit ) The Stranger Things original soundtrack was composed by Michael Stein and Kyle Dixon of the electronic band Survive . It makes extensive use of synthesizers in homage to 1980s artists and film composers including Jean - Michel Jarre , Tangerine Dream , Vangelis , Goblin , John Carpenter , Giorgio Moroder , and Fabio Frizzi . According to Stein and Dixon , the Duffer Brothers had been fans of Survive 's music , and used their song `` Dirge '' for the mock trailer that was used to sell the show to Netflix . Once the show was green - lit , the Duffers contacted Survive around July 2015 to ask if they were still doing music ; the two provided the production team with dozens of songs from their band 's past to gain their interest , helping to land them the role . Once aboard , the two worked with producers to select some of their older music to rework for the show , while developing new music , principally with character motifs . The two had been hired before the casting process , so their motif demos were used and played over the actors ' audition tapes , aiding in the casting selection . The show 's theme is based on an unused work Stein composed much earlier that ended up in the library of work they shared with the production staff , who thought that with some reworking would be good for the opening credits . In addition to original music , Stranger Things features period music from artists including The Clash , Toto , New Order , The Bangles , Foreigner , Echo and the Bunnymen , Peter Gabriel , and Corey Hart , as well as excerpts from Tangerine Dream , John Carpenter , and Vangelis . In particular , The Clash 's `` Should I Stay or Should I Go '' was specifically picked to play at pivotal moments of the story , such as when Will is trying to communicate with Joyce from the Upside Down . Soundtrack ( edit ) Stranger Things 's original soundtrack , consisting of 75 songs from Stein and Dixon split across two volumes , was released by Lakeshore Records . Digital release and streaming options were released on August 10 and 19 , 2016 for the two volumes , respectively , while retail versions were available on September 16 and 23 , 2016 . Limited editions of the soundtrack on vinyl , in both individual and a boxed set , are set for release in July 2017 . A cassette version of the soundtrack , sold exclusively by Urban Outfitters , will be released on July 14 , 2017 . The cassette packaging features a cardboard cover that emulates an old VHS sleeves , while the cassette case is made to look like a VHS tape . Both volumes were nominated individually for the Best Score Soundtrack Category for the 2017 Grammy Awards , though neither won . Release ( edit ) The first season consisted of eight one - hour - long episodes which were released worldwide on Netflix on July 15 , 2016 , in Ultra HD 4K and HDR . The second season , consisting of nine episodes , is scheduled to be released on October 27 , 2017 . A teaser for the second season , which also announced the release date , aired during Super Bowl LI . Reception ( edit ) Winona Ryder ( left ) was nominated for a Golden Globe , Satellite and Screen Actors Guild Award . Millie Bobby Brown ( right ) was nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award and an Emmy Award . Audience viewership ( edit ) As Netflix does not reveal subscriber viewership numbers for any of their original series , Symphony Technology Group compiled data for the season based on people using software on their phones that measures television viewing by detecting a program 's sound . According to Symphony , within the first 35 days of release , Stranger Things averaged ratings around 14.07 million adults between the ages 18 -- 49 in the United States . This made it the third most - watched season of Netflix original content in the U.S. at the time behind the first season of Fuller House and fourth season of Orange Is the New Black . In a September 2016 analysis , Netflix found that Stranger Things `` hooked '' viewers by the second episode of the first season , indicating that the second episode was `` the first installment that led at least 70 percent of viewers who watched that episode to complete the entire first season of a show . '' In August 2017 , the marketing analytics firm Jumpshot determined the season was the seventh-most viewed Netflix season in the first 30 days after it premiered , garnering slightly more than 20 % of the viewers that the second season of Daredevil received , which was the most viewed season according to Jumpstart . Jumpshot , which `` analyzes click - stream data from an online panel of more than 100 million consumers '' , looked at the viewing behavior and activity of the company 's U.S. members , factoring in the relative number of U.S. Netflix viewers who watched at least one episode of the season . Critical reception ( edit ) Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes gave the series an approval rating of 95 % based on 61 reviews and a weighted average score of 8.1 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus states , `` Exciting , heartbreaking , and sometimes scary , Stranger Things acts as an addictive homage to Spielberg films and vintage 1980s television . '' Review aggregator Metacritic gave the series a normalized score of 76 out of 100 based on 34 reviews , indicating `` generally favorable reviews '' . IGN gave the score of 8 out of 10 and called the series `` Great '' saying , `` Stranger Things is an easy recommendation , offering viewers an atmospheric and endearing series that is a nostalgic throwback without feeling like a simple copy . '' In a review of San Francisco Chronicle Dave Wiegand wrote : `` Stranger Things reminds us of a time marked by a kind of no - strings escapism . And as it does so , we find ourselves yearning for it because the Duffers have made it so irresistibly appealing . There may be other equally great shows to watch this summer , but I guarantee you wo n't have more fun watching any of them than you will watching Stranger Things . '' Joshua Alston of The A.V. Club also reviewed it positively saying , `` Balancing style and substance is always challenging for a series like Stranger Things , but the show is perfectly calibrated . It feels like watching a show produced during the era in which it 's set , but with the craft of today 's prestige television . '' Reviewing for HitFix , Alan Sepinwall said , `` Over the course of the eight hours , the story and characters take on enough life of their own so that the references do n't feel self - indulgent , and so that the series can be appreciated even if you do n't know the plot of E.T. or the title font of Stephen King 's early novels ( a huge influence on the show 's own opening credits ) by heart . '' Emily Nussbaum of The New Yorker also applauded the series and wrote , `` This is astoundingly efficient storytelling , eight hours that pass in a blink , with even minor characters getting sharp dialogue , dark humor , or moments of pathos . '' Television critic Mary McNamara of Los Angeles Times said , `` For the most part , and in absolute defiance of the odds , Stranger Things honors its source material in the best way possible : By telling a sweet ' n ' scary story in which monsters are real but so are the transformative powers of love and fealty . '' The Wall Street Journal 's Brian Kelly said , `` Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer , brothers and the show 's creators , have done their homework when it comes to ' 80s cinema . Whether you 're a fan of John Carpenter 's The Thing or The Goonies is more your speed , there 's plenty to like in Stranger Things . '' Commentary ( edit ) Shannon Purser 's performance as Barb received a great deal of attention from fans , and led to her being nominated for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series . Shortly after its release , Stranger Things gained a dedicated fanbase . One area of focus from these fans was the character of Barb , the nerdy friend and classmate of Nancy who is taken and killed by the monster early in the season . According to actress Shannon Purser , Barb `` was n't supposed to be a big deal '' , and the Duffer Brothers had not gone into great detail about the character since the focus was on finding Will . However , many fans sympathized with the character , with Laura Bradley of Vanity Fair suggesting that these people found that Barb would be a similar misfit in society , and `` looks more like someone you might actually meet in real life '' compared to the other characters , particularly Nancy , in the series . A hashtag `` # ImWithBarb '' grew in popularity after the series ' release , and several fan sites and forums were created to support her . While Purser will not return for the second season , the Duffer Brothers used the real - life `` Justice for Barb '' movement as inspiration for narrative at the start of the second season , with Nancy addressing the fact `` that no one ever cares about '' Barb . Purser and several media outlets took her nomination as Barb for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series in the 69th Primetime Emmy Awards as achieving `` justice for Barb '' , highlighting how well her character was received . Another impact of the series has been an increase demand for Eggo waffles , as they are shown to be Eleven 's favorite food in several episodes and are seen as a representation of the show . The Kellogg Company , which manufactures Eggo , had not been part of the production prior to the first season 's release , but recognized the market impact of the series . It provided a vintage 1980s Eggo television advertisement for Netflix to use in its Super Bowl LI commercial , and is looking to become more involved with cross-promotion .

The game uses a retro - pixel style of art , similar to games for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System . The game is loosely based on the Stranger Things story after Season 1 , with the player starting as Chief of Police Jim Hopper looking for the missing boys . Once these characters are found , they become playable and have special abilities that allow the player to access more areas in the game . Completing the game gives players a clip from the Season 2 premiere episode of the show . Others ( edit ) United States Representative David Cicilline compared the state of the nation during the presidency of Donald Trump to that of Stranger Things during a speech given in Congress on February 16 , 2017 , using a sign `` Trump Things '' in the same format as the title card of the show and saying `` Like the main characters in Stranger Things , we are now stuck in the Upside Down '' . As part of its release on Netflix on April 14 , 2017 , the cast of the rebooted version of Mystery Science Theater 3000 riffed on the first part of `` Chapter 1 '' of Stranger Things . Google used augmented reality ( AR ) `` stickers '' of Stranger Things characters to introduce its ARCore technology announced alongside its Pixel 2 phone in October 2017 .

"Stranger Things is set in the fictional rural town of Hawkins, Indiana, during the early 1980s. The nearby Hawkins National Laboratory ostensibly performs scientific research for the United States Department of Energy, but secretly does experiments into the paranormal and supernatural, including those that involve human test subjects. These start to affect the unknowing residents of Hawkins in calamitous ways.[1][2]"

Highest stadium audience attendance , 103,985 XIV Los Angeles Rams vs. Pittsburgh Steelers Non-occurrences ( edit ) In the history of the Super Bowl , the following firsts have yet to occur : An all - wild card matchup ( teams who failed to win their divisions ) -- Ten wild card teams have won conference titles since the AFL -- NFL merger , but never two in the same season . The closest the NFL has come to having an all - wild card Super Bowl occurred during the 2010 -- 11 NFL playoffs when the New York Jets , a wild card team , reached the AFC Championship Game where they played the Pittsburgh Steelers . The Pittsburgh Steelers beat the New York Jets 24 -- 19 . In the subsequent Super Bowl , the Pittsburgh Steelers faced another wild card team , the Green Bay Packers , who beat them 31 -- 25 . Every Super Bowl has had a first or second seeded team . A shutout -- Every Super Bowl participant to date has scored . In five cases , the offenses have failed to score a touchdown . In four of those cases , the special teams scored the only touchdown : Super Bowl VI : The Miami Dolphins finished with 3 points , the fewest by a single team in a Super Bowl to date ( and the only team to date to fail to score a touchdown ) . Super Bowl VII : The Washington Redskins , after blocking a field goal attempt , returned a fumble on an attempted pass by the Dolphins kicker , Garo Yepremian , for a touchdown and converted the extra point with 2 : 07 remaining in the game . Super Bowl IX : The Minnesota Vikings recovered a blocked punt in the end zone but did not convert the extra point with 10 : 33 left in the game . Super Bowl XXIII : The Cincinnati Bengals scored on a 93 - yard kickoff return with extra point in the third quarter and kicked 3 field goals throughout the game . Super Bowl XXXV : The New York Giants scored on a 97 - yard kickoff return and converted the extra point in the third quarter . A punt return for a touchdown . There have been 3 blocked punts returned for touchdowns , however . Home field advantage ( playing in one 's own home stadium ) -- No team has ever played in a Super Bowl hosted in its home stadium . On two occasions a team has played in a Super Bowl hosted in its metropolitan area but in a different stadium : The Los Angeles Rams played in Super Bowl XIV at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena , which is about 30 miles from their then - home stadium , the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum , and the San Francisco 49ers played in Super Bowl XIX at Stanford Stadium in Palo Alto , which is about 25 miles south of the former site of their then - home stadium , Candlestick Park , in San Francisco . The Minnesota Vikings are currently the only team to have come within one win of playing in a Super Bowl in their home stadium , as they lost in the NFC Championship Game in 2017 when their home field , US Bank Stadium , was scheduled to host Super Bowl LII . The Vikings , however , would have remained designated as the `` road team '' had they advanced to the Super Bowl , in keeping with the NFC team being scheduled to be so designated . Two teams from the same metropolitan area : Two cities currently have two franchises : New York hosts both the Giants and the Jets . Beginning with the 2017 NFL season , Los Angeles hosts both the Chargers and the Rams . Also two pairs of teams share a common metropolitan area , although they are based in different cities : the Baltimore Ravens and the Washington Redskins ; as well as the San Francisco 49ers and Oakland Raiders . All of the teams mentioned above except for the Chargers have won a Super Bowl , but never against their neighbor . Super Bowl XLI between the Indianapolis Colts and Chicago Bears represents the geographically closest teams , separated by only 164 miles . One game involved teams from the same state : Super Bowl XXIX involved the San Francisco 49ers and the San Diego Chargers . Super Bowl XXV involved the Buffalo Bills of New York and the New York Giants , who also historically and nominally represented the state but were by this point based in New Jersey . An appearance by every team -- Four teams have yet to reach their first Super Bowl : the Cleveland Browns , Detroit Lions , Houston Texans and Jacksonville Jaguars . The Lions and Browns both won NFL championships in the pre-Super Bowl era , most recently in 1957 and 1964 , respectively . The Jaguars and Texans are post-merger expansion teams that began play in 1995 and 2002 , respectively . Every team winning -- 12 teams have yet to win their first Super Bowl : the Arizona Cardinals , Atlanta Falcons , Buffalo Bills , Carolina Panthers , Cincinnati Bengals , Los Angeles Chargers , Minnesota Vikings , and Tennessee Titans , along with the four that have not appeared in a Super Bowl . The Chargers , the Titans ( known as the Houston Oilers in the 1960s ) , and the Bills all won American Football League ( AFL ) championships in the pre-Super Bowl era . The Cardinals both won NFL championships in the pre-Super Bowl era . The Vikings won the 1969 NFL Championship Game , the last NFL Championship Game before the AFL -- NFL merger , but lost Super Bowl IV to the AFL champs , the Kansas City Chiefs . Since the merger , the Vikings have appeared in the Super Bowl three more times ( Super Bowl VIII , Super Bowl IX , and most recently in Super Bowl XI ) but lost all three of them . Thus the Jaguars , Texans , Bengals , Falcons , and Panthers have yet to win their first league championship . Every team losing -- The Baltimore Ravens , New Orleans Saints , New York Jets , Tampa Bay Buccaneers , and the four teams that have never reached a Super Bowl have yet to lose a Super Bowl . No touchdowns scored -- In every Super Bowl to date , there have been at least two touchdowns scored ( Fewest combined -- 2 , in Super Bowl III ) . A three - peat . Two teams ( the New England Patriots and the Dallas Cowboys ) won three Super Bowl titles in four years and the Pittsburgh Steelers won 4 Super Bowl titles in 6 years , which included back to back championships twice . The Miami Dolphins appeared in three consecutive Super Bowls from 1971 -- 1973 , winning the final two , making them the team having come closest to a three - peat . The Green Bay Packers were the 1965 NFL Champions and won the first two Super Bowls following their victories in the 1966 and 1967 NFL Championship Games . The Buffalo Bills appeared in four consecutive Super Bowls , but lost every time . Fair catch kick -- A fair catch kick has never been attempted in the Super Bowl . The only scenario in which a fair catch kick was seriously considered was at the end of regulation in Super Bowl LI , when Patriots head coach Bill Belichick considered a 75 - yard fair catch kick attempt . Belichick decided against it , however , since the kick would not have had a realistic chance of success and could have been returned by the Atlanta Falcons for a game - winning touchdown . A head coach leading two different teams to Super Bowl victories . Four Super Bowl - winning coaches also coached another team but lost : Don Shula , Bill Parcells , Mike Holmgren and Dick Vermeil .

7693625645996219922 | Baptism in early Christianity | Baptism in early Christianity - wikipedia Baptism in early Christianity Baptism has been part of Christianity from the start , as shown by the many mentions in the Acts of the Apostles and the Pauline epistles . Contents 1 Background in Jewish ritual 2 New Testament 2.1 Baptism of Jesus 2.2 Baptism by Jesus 2.3 Paul 's epistles 2.4 Gospel of Matthew 2.5 Gospel of Mark 2.6 Gospel of Luke 2.7 Gospel of John 2.8 Acts 3 Apostolic Age 4 Early Christianity 4.1 Theology 4.2 Mode of baptism 4.2. 1 Studies before 1950 4.2. 2 Studies in the second half of the 20th century 4.2. 3 21st - century studies 5 See also 5.1 Related articles and subjects 5.2 People and ritual objects 6 Notes 7 References 8 Bibliography 9 Further reading 10 External links Background in Jewish ritual ( edit ) Main articles : Ritual washing in Judaism and Mikvah Although the term `` baptism '' is not today used to describe the Jewish rituals ( in contrast to New Testament times , when the Greek word baptismos did indicate Jewish ablutions or rites of purification ) , the purification rites ( or mikvah -- ritual immersion ) in Jewish law and tradition have some similarity to baptism , and the two have been linked . In the Hebrew Bible and other Jewish texts , immersion in water for ritual purification was established for restoration to a condition of `` ritual purity '' in specific circumstances . For example , Jews who ( according to the Law of Moses ) became ritually defiled by contact with a corpse had to use the mikvah before being allowed to participate in the Temple in Jerusalem . Immersion was not required for converts to Judaism as part of their conversion , although many mistakenly believe otherwise . Immersion in the mikvah represents a change in status in regards to purification , restoration , and qualification for full religious participation in the life of the community , ensuring that the cleansed person will not impose uncleanness on property or its owners . New Testament ( edit ) The New Testament includes several references to baptism as an important practice among early Christians and , while giving no actual account of its institution by Jesus , portrays him as giving instructions , after his resurrection , for his followers to perform the rite ( see Great Commission ) . It also gives interpretations by the Apostle Paul and in the First Epistle of Peter of the significance of baptism . Truly , truly , I say to you , unless one is born of water and the Spirit , he can not enter the kingdom of God -- John 3 : 5 RSV Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her , that he might sanctify her by the washing of water with the word , that he might present the church to himself in splendor , without spot or wrinkle or any such thing , that she might be holy and without blemish . -- Ephesians 5 : 25 -- 27 RSV God 's patience waited in the days of Noah , during the building of the ark , in which a few , that is , eight persons , were saved through water . Baptism , which corresponds to this , now saves you -- 1 Peter 3 : 20 -- 21 RSV Baptism of Jesus ( edit ) Main article : Baptism of Jesus The Baptism of Christ , 1450 ( National Gallery , London ) . The baptism of Jesus is described in the gospels of Matthew , Mark and Luke . John 's gospel does not directly describe Jesus ' baptism . John the Baptist was a 1st - century mission preacher on the banks of the River Jordan . He baptized Jews for repentance in the River Jordan . At the start of his ministry , Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist . Critical scholars broadly agree that the baptism of Jesus is one of the most authentic , or historically likely , events in the life of the historical Jesus . Christian baptism has its origin in the baptism of Jesus , in both a direct and historical sense . Many of the earliest followers of Jesus were people who , like him , were baptized in the Jordan by John the Baptist . Baptism by Jesus ( edit ) The Gospel of John states that Jesus at an early stage led a mission of baptism that drew crowds . John 4 : 2 , considered by many scholars to be a later editorial insertion , denies that Jesus himself baptized and states that he did so only through his disciples . Some prominent scholars conclude that Jesus did not baptize . Gerd Theissen and Annette Merz assert that Jesus did not baptize , detached the notion of repentance from baptism , recognized John 's baptism , and put forward a purity ethic in tension with baptism . The Oxford Dictionary of World Religions also states that Jesus did not baptize as part of his ministry . E.P. Sanders omits John 's account of Jesus ' baptizing mission from his portrait of Jesus as a historical figure . Robert W. Funk considers the account of Jesus ' baptism ministry in John to have internal difficulties : that , for instance , it reports Jesus coming to Judea even though he is already in Jerusalem and thus in Judea . John 3 : 22 actually speaks of Jesus and his disciples coming , not `` εἰς τὴν Ἰουδαίαν '' ( into Judea ) , but `` εἰς τὴν Ἰουδαίαν γῆν '' ( into the Judean countryside ) , which some interpret as contrasted with Jerusalem , the scene of the encounter with Nicodemus described immediately before . According to the Jesus Seminar , the passage about Jesus `` coming to Judea '' ( as they interpret `` εἰς τὴν Ἰουδαίαν γῆν '' ) to lead a mission of baptism probably preserves no historical information ( a `` black '' rating ) . On the other hand , the Cambridge Companion to Jesus takes a different view . According to this source , Jesus accepted and made his own John the Baptist 's message of repentance , forgiveness and baptism ; taking over from John , when the latter was imprisoned , he called for repentance and for baptism as a first step in accepting the imminent Kingdom of God ; and the central place of baptism in his message is confirmed by the passage in John about Jesus baptizing . After John 's execution , Jesus ceased baptizing , through he may have occasionally returned to the practice ; accordingly , while baptism played an important part in Jesus ' ministry before John 's death and again among his followers after his resurrection , it had no such prominence in between . New Testament scholar Raymond E. Brown , a specialist in the Johannine writings , considers that the parenthetic editorial remark of John 4 : 2 that Jesus baptized only through his disciples was intended to clarify or correct the twice repeated statement in the preceding verses that Jesus did baptize , and that the reason for its insertion may have been that the author considered the baptism that the disciples administered to be a continuation of the Baptist 's work , not baptism in the Holy Spirit . Other New Testament scholars also accept the historical value of this passage in John . This is the view expressed by Joel B. Green , Scot McKnight , I. Howard Marshall . Another states that there is `` no a priori reason to reject the report of Jesus and his disciples ' conducting a ministry of baptism for a time '' , and mentions that report as one of the items in John 's account `` that are likely to be historical and ought to be given due weight '' . In his book on the relationship between John the Baptist and Jesus of Nazareth , Daniel S. Dapaah says that John 's account `` may be a snippet of historical tradition '' , and comments that the silence of the Synoptic Gospels does not mean that the information in John was invented , and that Mark 's account also suggests that Jesus worked with John at first , before moving to Galilee . Frederick J. Cwiekowski agrees that the account in John `` gives the impression '' that Jesus baptized . The Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible says that `` though he ( Christ ) himself baptized not so many as his disciples ; ' For he suffered them for an example , preferring one another . ' The Gospel of John remarks , in John 3 : 32 , that , though Jesus drew many people to his baptism , they still did not accept his testimony , and the Jesus Seminar concludes , on the basis of Josephus 's accounts , that John the Baptist likely had a larger presence in the public mind than Jesus . Paul 's epistles ( edit ) Main article : Pauline epistles See also : Ex opere operato In the Pauline epistles baptism effects and represents the believer 's union with Christ , a union by which the believer shares in Christ 's death and resurrection ; cleanses of sin ; incorporates into the Body of Christ and makes one `` drink of the Spirit . '' The conception of a sacramental principle , widespread not only in the Greco - Roman world , but even in pre-Columbian America and in preliterate societies , took on a unique significance , and to Paul 's influence is attributed an interpretation given to the Christian rite in terms of the Greco - Roman mysteries but little weight can be attached to the counterparts of baptism in mystery religions as an explanation of the Christian practice . Gospel of Matthew ( edit ) Matthew 3 : 11 -- 17 ; Matthew 28 : 18 -- 20 Matthew begins with the `` generation '' of Jesus as Son of David , followed by the visit of the gentile Magi , and the flight into Egypt to escape Herod , after whose death the holy family returns into the land of Israel , then moves to Nazareth , and then includes a detailed version of the preaching of John the Baptist , followed by the baptism of Jesus . John protests to Jesus that he needs to be baptized by Jesus , but Jesus tells him to let it be so now , saying that it is fitting for the two of them ( `` for us '' ) to thus `` fulfill all righteousness . '' When Jesus is baptized , he goes up immediately out of the water , the heavens open and John sees the Spirit of God descend upon him like a dove , alighting on him , and he hears a voice from heaven say , `` This is my beloved Son , with whom I am well pleased . '' Later , at the request of the mother of James and John , who prompted her to present their request to him to declare that they are to sit one at his right hand and the other at his left , Jesus speaks of the `` cup '' he is to drink , and he tells them that they too will drink of his cup , but in Matthew 's gospel Jesus does not explicitly state that the baptism with which he must be baptized is also the `` cup '' that he must drink . The Gospel of Matthew also includes the most famous version of the Great Commission . Here , the resurrected Jesus appears to the apostles and commissions them to make disciples of all nations , to baptize , and teach . This commission reflects the program adopted by the infant Christian movement . Gospel of Mark ( edit ) Mark 1 : 1 -- 11 This gospel , today generally believed by scholars to be the first and to have been used as a basis for Matthew and Luke , begins with Jesus ' baptism by John , who preached a baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins . John says of Jesus that he will baptize not with water but with the Holy Spirit . At Jesus ' baptism , he hears God 's voice proclaiming him to be his Son , and he sees the spirit like a dove descend on him . During Jesus ' ministry , when James and John ask Jesus for seats of honor in the coming kingdom , Jesus likens his fate to the cup that he will drink and to the baptism with which he must be baptized , the very cup and baptism in store for John and James ( that is , martyrdom ) . Mark 16 : 19 -- 20 The traditional ending of Mark is thought to have been compiled early in the 2nd century , and initially appended to the gospel by the middle of that century . It says that those who believe and are baptized will be saved , `` but he who does not believe will be condemned . '' Mark 's gospel does not explicitly state that baptized persons who believe will be saved from the `` wrath to come , '' the wrath to which John the Baptist refers in Matthew 's gospel , but readers can infer that being `` condemned '' includes the `` wrath to come '' . Gospel of Luke ( edit ) Luke 3 : 21 -- 22 ; Luke 24 : 45 -- 47 This gospel begins with a statement that it contains reliable information obtained directly from the original eyewitnesses and servants of the word . It introduces the conception of John the Baptist , the annunciation of Gabriel to Mary the virgin , the birth of the Baptist who will be called the prophet of the Most High , and then the birth of Jesus , in the days of Herod , king of Judea , and of Caesar Augustus , emperor of the Roman Empire . There follows the account of Jesus in the Temple among the teachers ; and then the calling and preaching of the prophet John the Baptist in the days of Tiberius Caesar , emperor , of Herod and Philip , tetrarchs , of Annas and Caiaphas , high priests ; and then by far the briefest account in the canonical Gospels of the baptism of Jesus . The baptism of John is different from the baptism of the one who is to come after him . Jesus declares later that he has another baptism to be baptized with , and that he is under constraint ( he is straitened ) until it is accomplished . ( The petition of the mother of James and John , the personal request of James and John , and Jesus ' declaration to them that they will be baptized as he will be baptized , and will drink the cup that he will drink , is not in Luke 's gospel . ) In the Gospel of Luke , the risen Jesus appears to the disciples and the eleven apostles gathered together with them in Jerusalem and gives them the Great Commission without explicitly speaking of baptism , but readers can infer that `` the forgiveness of sins '' here includes `` baptism '' according to the preaching of the apostles at the time of Luke 's gospel . Gospel of John ( edit ) The Gospel of John mentions John the Baptist 's baptizing activity , in particular his baptism of Jesus , , and his statement that Jesus would baptize with the Holy Spirit . It also mentions baptizing activity by Jesus , specifying that the baptizing was not done by Jesus himself but by his disciples . Some references to water in John 's Gospel have been interpreted as referring to baptism , in particular , the phrase `` born of water and the Spirit '' and the account of blood and water coming out of the side of Jesus when pierced after crucifixion Acts ( edit ) Acts of the Apostles , written c. 85 -- 90 , states that about 3,000 people in Jerusalem were baptized in one day on Pentecost . It further relates baptisms of men and women in Samaria , of an Ethiopian eunuch , of Saul of Tarsus , of the household of Cornelius , of Lydia 's household , of the Philippi jailer 's household , of many Corinthians and of certain Corinthians baptized by Paul personally . In Acts , the prerequisites of baptism are faith and repentance , but in certain cases ( like Cornelius ' household ) the reception of the Spirit also precedes baptism . Also in Acts , some twelve men who had undergone John 's baptism , a `` baptism of repentance '' that John administered , `` telling the people to believe in the one who was to come after him , that is , Jesus '' , were baptized `` in the name of the Lord Jesus '' , whereupon they received the Holy Spirit . Acts 2 : 38 , Acts 10 : 48 and Acts 19 : 5 speak of baptism `` in the name of Jesus '' or `` in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ '' , but whether this was a formula that was used has been questioned . Apostolic age ( edit ) Main article : Apostolic Age There is a scholarly consensus that the earliest Christian baptism was by immersion . Thomas Schreiner likewise states that `` Most scholars agree that immersion was practiced in the NT '' , identifying submersion as the form of immersion practiced . Heyler says most New Testament scholars generally agree that Christian baptism in the New Testament era was by immersion . Everett Ferguson similarly speaks of `` general scholarly agreement '' that the baptism commanded by Jesus was immersion in water by dipping , in the form of a `` full bath '' . He describes medieval depictions of Jesus standing in water while John poured water over him as a `` strange fantasy '' deriving from later church practice . Di Berardino describes the baptism of the New Testament era as generally requiring total immersion , Tischler says that total immersion seems to have been most commonly used , and Lang says `` Baptism in the Bible was by immersion , that is , the person went fully under the waters '' . Sookey says it is `` almost certain '' that immersion was used . The Global Dictionary of Theology says that it is probable that immersion was the early church 's normal mode of baptism , but that it was not seen as an important issue . The Didache or Teaching of the Twelve Apostles , an anonymous book of 16 short chapters , is probably the earliest known written instructions , outside of the Bible , for administering baptism . The first version of it was written c. 60 -- 80 AD . The second , with insertions and additions , was written c. 100 -- 50 AD . This work , rediscovered in the 19th century , provides a unique look at Christianity in the Apostolic Age and is the first explicit reference to baptism by pouring , although the New Testament does not exclude the possibility of this practice . '' Its instructions on baptism are as follows : Now about baptism : this is how to baptize . Give public instruction on all these points , and then baptize in running water , in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit ... If you do not have running water , baptize in some other . If you can not in cold , then in warm . If you have neither , then pour water on the head three times in the name of the Father , Son , and Holy Spirit . Before the baptism , moreover , the one who baptizes and the one being baptized must fast , and any others who can . And you must tell the one being baptized to fast for one or two days beforehand . Commentaries typically understand that the Didache indicates a preference for baptizing by immersion. in `` living water '' ( i.e. , running water , seen as symbolic of life ) . Furthermore , in cases of insufficient water it permits pouring ( affusion ) , which it differentiates from immersion , using the Greek word ekcheō , ( `` pour '' , in the English translation ) and not baptizō ( `` baptize '' , in the English translation ) , while at the same time considering the action done by pouring to be a baptism , giving no hint that this form made the baptism any less valid , and showing that immersion was not the only baptismal practice then acceptable . Barclay observes the Didache shows that baptism in the early church was by total immersion , if possible , Barton describes the immersion of the Didache as `` ideally by total immersion '' , and Welch says it was by `` complete immersion '' . James V. Brownson notes that the Didache does not specify either immersion or pouring when using running water , and Sinclair B. Ferguson argues that really the only mode that the Didache mentions is affusion . Martin and Davids say the Didache envisages `` some form of immersion '' , and the Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church refers its readers to its entry on immersion , which it distinguishes from submersion and affusion . Early Christianity ( edit ) Main article : Early Christianity Theology ( edit ) The theology of baptism attained precision in the 3rd and 4th centuries . While instruction was at first given after baptism , believers were given increasingly specific instructions before being baptized , especially in the face of heresies in the 4th century . By the 4th and 5th centuries , a series of rites spread over several weeks led up to the actual baptism at Easter : catechumens attended several meetings of intensive catechetical instruction , often by the bishop himself , and often accompanied by special prayers , exorcisms , and other rites . Catechumens recited the Creed on Holy Saturday to show that they had completed their catechetical instruction . At dawn following the Paschal Vigil starting the night of Holy Saturday , they were taken to the baptistry where the bishop consecrated the water with a long prayer recounting the types of baptisms . The catechumens disrobed , were anointed with oil , renounced the devil and his works , confessed their faith in the Trinity , and were immersed in the font . They were then anointed with chrism , received the laying on of hands , clothed in white , and led to join the congregation in the Easter celebration . By then , postponement of baptism had become general , and a large proportion of believers were merely catechumens ( Constantine was not baptized until he was dying ) ; but as baptisms of the children of Christians , using an adaptation of the rite intended for adults , became more common than baptisms of adult converts , the number of catechumens decreased . As baptism was believed to forgive sins , the issue of sins committed after baptism arose . Some insisted that apostasy , even under threat of death , and other grievous sins cut one off forever from the Church . As indicated in the writings of Saint Cyprian , others favoured readmitting the `` lapsi '' easily . The rule that prevailed was that they were readmitted only after undergoing a period of penance that demonstrated sincere repentance . What is now generally called the Nicene Creed , longer than the text adopted by the First Council of Nicaea of 325 , and known also as the Niceno - Constantinopolitan Creed because of its adoption in that form by the First Council of Constantinople in 381 , was probably the baptismal creed then in use in Constantinople , the venue of the 381 Council . Mode of baptism ( edit ) Scholars `` generally agree that the early church baptized by immersion '' , but sometimes used other forms . Howard Marshall says that immersion was the general rule , but affusion and even sprinkling were also practised , His presentation of this view has been described by Porter and Cross as `` a compelling argument '' . Laurie Guy says immersion was probably the norm , but that at various times and places full immersion , partial immersion and affusion were probably in use . It is disputed where immersion was necessarily total . Tischler and the Encyclopedia of Catholicism say that the immersion was total . The same encyclopedia of Roman Catholicism notes that the preference of the Early Church was total immersion in a stream or the sea or , if these were not available , in a fountain or bath - sized tank , and Eerdman 's Handbook to the History of Christianity says that baptism was normally by immersion , without specifying whether total or partial . The Dictionary of the Bible ( 2004 ) says `` Archaeological evidence from the early centuries shows that baptism was sometimes administered by submersion or immersion ... but also by affusion from a vessel when water was poured on the candidate 's head ... '' . In one form of early Christian baptism , the candidate stood in water and water was poured over the upper body . Baptism of the sick or dying usually used means other than even partial immersion and was still considered valid . Internet - available illustrations of ancient Christian representations of baptism from as early as the 2nd century include those in CF Rogers , Baptism and Christian Archeology , the chapter `` The Didache and the Catacombs '' of Philip Schaff 's The Oldest Church Manual Called the Teaching of the Twelve Apostles , and Wolfrid Cote 's The Archaeology of Baptism . Studies before 1950 ( edit ) In The Archaeology of Baptism ( 1876 ) Wolfrid Cote , quoting Prudentius , who in his Psychomachia spoke of the `` bathed chests '' of the baptized , and the views of two earlier Italian archaeologists , stated that `` the primitive mode appears to have been this : The administrator and candidate both standing in the water the former placed his right hand on the head of the candidate , and , pronouncing the baptismal words , gently bowed him forward , till he was completely immersed in the water '' . He included in his book a woodcut of a fresco in the Catacomb of San Callisto ( a photographic reproduction appears in this article ) , and reported that one archaeologist interpreted it as a youth being baptized by affusion , while for another the youth standing in the water was `` immersed in a cloud of water '' . Cote described this painting as of great antiquity , probably of the 4th or 5th century , while remarking that it is impossible to ascertain the precise age of the pictures in the catacombs of Rome . The other paintings that Cote described are of much later periods , while the mosaic in the Baptistery of San Giovanni in Fonte , in Ravenna ( erected in the 4th century ) , which shows John baptizing Jesus by pouring water on his head from a cup , Cote explained as the product of later restoring . The font in this baptistery Cote described as ten feet in diameter and three and a half feet deep . Cote listed 67 still existing Italian baptisteries dating from the 4th to the 14th centuries , all of which he understood to have been used for total immersion . He made no mention of any pre-Constantine evidence . In 1903 Clement F Rogers published `` Baptism and Christian Archaeology '' . This was a study of the archaeological evidence , both the positive evidence that paintings and carvings on sarcophagi etc. provide about how baptism actually was conferred , and the negative evidence given by the structure of baptismal fonts on how it could not have been conferred . He used literary sources plentifully but merely for illustration . For the first three centuries ( i.e. before the time of Constantine ) direct archaeological evidence is limited to pictures of baptism in the catacombs of Rome . Rogers concluded that `` the direct evidence from archaeology alone may not be conclusive to show that in pre-Constantinian times baptism by affusion only was practiced generally or indeed in any one single case ; but it does show that there was nothing repugnant in it to the general mind , that no stress was laid on total immersion , that the most important moments were held to be those when water was poured over the catchumen , and when the minister laid his hand on his head . This , taken in connexion with the known customs of later ages , make it more than probable that the usual method of administration was by affusion only . '' Taking into account the positive archaeological evidence of post-Constantinian times , Roger concludes : `` All the evidence of archaeology goes to prove that the essential part of baptism was considered in the early Church to be the pouring of water over the candidate 's head by the bishop , or the guiding his head under a descending stream , followed by the laying on of hands '' ; he adds : `` There remains the question , whether this was preceded by a self - immersion '' . To answer this question , he examines the negative evidence of ancient baptismal fonts , especially those found in archaeological sites , providing on pp. 347 -- 49 a Synoptic Table of Fonts , with date , shape , diameter and depth , showing that some of them could not have been intended for full immersion . In his `` Churches Separated from Rome '' ( 1907 ) , Louis Duchesne responded to accusations by Eastern Orthodox that the Roman Catholic was corrupted because of `` the Filioque , baptism by affusion , unleavened bread , &c . '' , by pointing to the absence of any ancient representation of baptism that showed the neophyte actually being immersed totally . Studies in the second half of the 20th century ( edit ) Alois Stenzel 's 1958 study of baptism with a focus on liturgy argued that both immersion and affusion were practised by the early Church , since some baptismal pools which have been uncovered were too shallow for baptism and pictorial evidence favoured affusion . `` Baptism in the Early Church '' by George Rice ( 1981 ) , in `` Bible and Spade '' , cited Cote with favour and claimed that archaeology `` overwhelmingly testifies to immersion as the normal mode of baptism in the Christian church during the first ten to fourteen centuries '' . Rice cites in particular imagery in the Catacomb of San Ponziano and a crypt in the catacomb of Santa Lucina , as well as a 9th - or 10th - century fresco in the basilica of San Clemente he also states that `` pictures of Jesus standing in water while John pours water over His head are of a much later date than those depicting immersion and they demonstrate the change in the mode of baptism that came into the church '' . He mentions a 4th - century baptistery sufficiently large for immersion , Rice says that archaeological evidence demonstrates some early baptismal fonts large enough for adult immersion were later made smaller or replaced , to accommodate affusion baptism of infants , leading to mistakes in the dating of art works by 20th - century studies . In his contribution to the 1986 11th International Archaeology Congress on `` What do the texts teach us on the equipment and furnishings needed for baptism in southern Gaul and northern Italy ? '' Jean - Charles Picard concluded that the texts speak only of immersion and that the area has no archaeological images of baptism by pouring water on the head . In 1987 , on the basis of archaeology and parallels with Jewish practice , Sanford La Sor considered it likely that total immersion was also Christian practice . In the same year , Lothar Heiser , in his study of baptism in the Orthodox Church , concluded on the basis of the literary and pictorial evidence in that field that `` the water customarily reached the hips of the baptizand ; after calling on the triune God , the priest bent the baptizand under so as to dip him in water over the head ; in the cases of pouring in the Didache and in sickbed baptism the baptized did not stand in the font '' ; but acknowledges that in present Greek practice the priest places the infant being baptized as far down in the water as possible and scoops water over the head so as to cover the child fully with water . In 1995 , Renate Pillinger concluded from the evidence provided by images and buildings and by some literary sources that it was usual for the baptizand to stand in water no more than hip - deep and for the baptizer to pour water over him . With regard to the shallow baptismal fonts that archaeologists had discovered , Malka Ben Pechat expressed in 1999 the view that full immersion was possible even in small fonts with a mere 60 centimetres ( 2 feet ) of water , while the fonts that were even shallower were intended for the baptism of infants . 21st - century Studies ( edit ) In the close of his comprehensive 2009 study , Baptism in the Early Church , Everett Ferguson devoted four pages ( 457 -- 60 ) to summarizing his position on the mode of baptism , expressed also in his The Church of Christ of 1996 , that the normal early - Christian mode of baptism was by full immersion . He observed that `` those who approach the study of baptism from the standpoint of archaeology tend to find greater probability that affusion , or perfusion was a normal practice ; those who come from the literary evidence see a greater likelihood of immersion , or submersion , being the normal practice '' ; but he intended his own comprehensive survey to give coherence to the evidence ( p. 857 ) . Ferguson dismissed Rogers ' 1903 study as dated with regard to both the depictions of baptism and his survey of the baptismal fonts . Like Rice , whom he did not mention , Ferguson said that the size of the baptismal fonts was progressively reduced in connection with the prevalence of infant baptism , although there are a few cases where larger fonts are later than the smaller ones . Ferguson also stated : `` The predominant number of baptismal fonts permitted immersion , and many were so large as to defy any reason for their existence other than immersion '' . Robin Jensen writes : `` Historians have sometimes assumed that baptism was usually accomplished by full immersion -- or submersion -- of the body ( dunking ) . However , the archaeological and iconographic evidence is ambiguous on this point . Many -- if not most -- surviving baptismal fonts are too shallow to have allowed submersion . In addition , a significant number of depictions show baptismal water being poured over the candidate 's head ( affusion ) , either from a waterfall , an orb or some kind of liturgical vessel . '' Eerdman 's Dictionary of the Bible also casts doubt on `` the usual assumption that all NT baptisms were by immersion '' , stating that some early baptisteries were deep enough to stand in but not broad enough to lie down in , and mentioning that ancient representation of Christ at his baptism show him standing in waist - deep water . The immersion used by early Christians in baptizing `` need not have meant full submersion in the water '' and , while it may have been normal practice , it was not seen as a necessary mode of baptism , so that other modes also may have been used . Submersion , as opposed to partial immersion , may even have been a minority practice in early Christianity .

"At the start of his ministry, Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist. Critical scholars broadly agree that the baptism of Jesus is one of the most authentic, or historically likely, events in the life of the historical Jesus.[citation needed] Christian baptism has its origin in the baptism of Jesus, in both a direct and historical sense.[11] Many of the earliest followers of Jesus were people who, like him, were baptized in the Jordan by John the Baptist.[12]\n"

In a surprise victory , the Republican ticket of businessman Donald Trump and Indiana Governor Mike Pence defeated the Democratic ticket of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and U.S. Senator from Virginia Tim Kaine despite losing the plurality of the popular vote . Trump took office as the 45th President , and Pence as the 48th Vice President , on January 20 , 2017 . Incumbent Democratic President Barack Obama was ineligible to run for a third term due to the term limits established by the 22nd Amendment . Concurrent with the presidential election , Senate , House , and many gubernatorial and state and local elections were also held on November 8 . Clinton secured the Democratic nomination after fending off a primary challenge from Senator Bernie Sanders . Amidst a wide Republican field , Trump emerged as the front - runner , defeating Ted Cruz , Marco Rubio , John Kasich , Jeb Bush and other candidates . Clinton ran on a platform of continuing and expanding President Obama 's policies , emphasizing issues of racial , LGBT , and women 's rights , and `` inclusive capitalism '' ; whereas Trump promised to `` Make America Great Again '' by implementing a populist and nationalist agenda , opposing political correctness , illegal immigration , and many free - trade agreements . The tone of the general election campaign was widely characterized as divisive and negative , with both candidates beleaguered by controversy . Trump made numerous controversial remarks about race and immigration , was accused of inciting violence against protestors at his rallies , and faced multiple allegations of sexual misconduct ( which he denied ) , but was also able to garner extensive free media coverage . Clinton , whose public approval ratings had declined sharply since the end of her tenure as Secretary of State , was dogged by an FBI investigation of her improper use of a private email server , while her assertion that `` half '' of Trump 's supporters were bigoted `` deplorables '' met with polarized reactions . Clinton held the lead in nearly every pre-election nationwide poll and in most swing states . Voters selected members of the Electoral College in each state , in most cases by `` winner - takes - all '' plurality ; those state electors in turn voted for a new president and vice president on December 19 , 2016 . While Clinton received about 2.9 million more votes nationwide , a margin of 2.1 % , Trump won 30 states with a total of 306 electors , or 57 % of the 538 available . He won the three perennial swing states of Florida , Ohio , and Iowa , as well as the three `` blue wall '' stronghold states of Michigan , Pennsylvania , and Wisconsin . He also won Maine 's 2nd congressional district , which had not been won by a Republican presidential candidate since 1988 . Leading up to the election , a Trump victory was considered unlikely by almost all media forecasts . After his victory was assured , some commentators compared the election to President Harry S. Truman 's victorious campaign in 1948 as one of the greatest political upsets in modern American history . In the Electoral College vote on December 19 , seven electors voted against their pledged candidates : two against Trump and five against Clinton . A further three electors attempted to vote against Clinton but were replaced or forced to vote again . Ultimately , Trump received 304 electoral votes and Clinton garnered 227 , while Colin Powell won three , and John Kasich , Ron Paul , Bernie Sanders , and Faith Spotted Eagle each received one . Trump is the fifth person in U.S. history to become president while losing the nationwide popular vote . He is the first president without any prior experience in public service or the military , as well as the wealthiest and the oldest at inauguration , while Clinton was the first woman to be the presidential nominee of a major American party and the first woman to win the popular vote . On January 6 , 2017 , the United States government 's intelligence agencies concluded that the Russian government interfered in the 2016 United States elections . A joint U.S. intelligence community review stated with high confidence that `` Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the US presidential election . Russia 's goals were to undermine public faith in the US democratic process , denigrate Secretary Clinton , and harm her electability and potential presidency . '' President Donald Trump repeatedly criticized these intelligence claims , citing a lack of evidence and repeatedly calling the claims a `` hoax '' and `` fake news '' . Investigations about potential collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian officials were started by the Federal Bureau of Investigation , the Senate Intelligence Committee , and the House Intelligence Committee . Former FBI Director Robert Mueller was appointed as special counsel in May 2017 by Acting Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to oversee the ongoing investigation into links between Donald Trump 's 2016 presidential campaign and the Russian government as part of the election interference and any related illegal acts .

Candidates for the presidency typically seek the nomination of one of the political parties , in which case each party devises a method ( such as a primary election ) to choose the candidate the party deems best suited to run for the position . Traditionally , the primary elections are indirect elections where voters cast ballots for a slate of party delegates pledged to a particular candidate . The party 's delegates then officially nominate a candidate to run on the party 's behalf . The general election in November is also an indirect election , where voters cast ballots for a slate of members of the Electoral College ; these electors in turn directly elect the President and Vice President . President Barack Obama , a Democrat and former U.S. Senator from Illinois , was ineligible to seek reelection to a third term due to the restrictions of the Twenty - second Amendment ; in accordance with Section 1 of the Twentieth Amendment , his term expired at noon on January 20 , 2017 . Primary process The series of presidential primary elections and caucuses took place between February and June 2016 , staggered among the 50 states , the District of Columbia and U.S. territories . This nominating process was also an indirect election , where voters cast ballots for a slate of delegates to a political party 's nominating convention , who in turn elected their party 's presidential nominee . Speculation about the 2016 campaign began almost immediately following the 2012 campaign , with New York magazine declaring the race had begun in an article published on November 8 , two days after the 2012 election . On the same day , Politico released an article predicting the 2016 general election would be between Clinton and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush , while a New York Times article named New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and Senator Cory Booker from New Jersey as potential candidates .

Prior to the Iowa caucuses on February 1 , 2016 , Perry , Walker , Jindal , Graham , and Pataki withdrew due to low polling numbers . Despite leading many polls in Iowa , Trump came in second to Cruz , after which Huckabee , Paul and Santorum withdrew due to poor performances at the ballot box . Following a sizable victory for Trump in the New Hampshire primary , Christie , Fiorina and Gilmore abandoned the race . Bush followed suit after scoring fourth place to Trump , Rubio and Cruz in South Carolina . On March 1 , 2016 , the first of four `` Super Tuesday '' primaries , Rubio won his first contest in Minnesota , Cruz won Alaska , Oklahoma and his home of Texas and Trump won the other seven states that voted . Failing to gain traction , Carson suspended his campaign a few days later . On March 15 , 2016 , the second `` Super Tuesday '' , Kasich won his only contest in his home state of Ohio and Trump won five primaries including Florida . Rubio suspended his campaign after losing his home state . Between March 16 and May 3 , 2016 , only three candidates remained in the race : Trump , Cruz and Kasich . Cruz won the most delegates in four Western contests and in Wisconsin , keeping a credible path to denying Trump the nomination on first ballot with 1,237 delegates . Trump then augmented his lead by scoring landslide victories in New York and five Northeastern states in April , followed by a decisive victory in Indiana on May 3 , 2016 , securing all 57 of the state 's delegates . Without any further chances of forcing a contested convention , both Cruz and Kasich suspended their campaigns . Trump remained the only active candidate and was declared the presumptive Republican nominee by Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus on the evening of May 3 , 2016 .

In mid-June , Eli Stokols and Burgess Everett of Politico reported that the Trump campaign was considering New Jersey Governor Chris Christie , former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich from Georgia , Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama , and Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin . A June 30 report from The Washington Post also included Senators Bob Corker from Tennessee , Richard Burr from North Carolina , Tom Cotton from Arkansas , Joni Ernst from Iowa , and Indiana Governor Mike Pence as individuals still being considered for the ticket . Trump also stated that he was considering two military generals for the position , including retired Lieutenant General Michael Flynn . In July 2016 , it was reported that Trump had narrowed his list of possible running mates down to three : Christie , Gingrich , and Pence . On July 14 , 2016 , several major media outlets reported that Trump had selected Pence as his running mate . Trump confirmed these reports in a message on Twitter on July 15 , 2016 , and formally made the announcement the following day in New York . On July 19 , the second night of the 2016 Republican National Convention , Pence won the Republican vice presidential nomination by acclamation .

Clinton made the announcement on April 12 , 2015 , via a video message . While nationwide opinion polls in 2015 indicated that Clinton was the front - runner for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination , she faced extreme challenges from Independent Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont , who became the second major candidate when he formally announced on April 30 , 2015 , that he was running for the Democratic nomination . September 2015 polling numbers indicated a narrowing gap between Clinton and Sanders . On May 30 , 2015 , former Governor of Maryland Martin O'Malley was the third major candidate to enter the Democratic primary race , followed by former Independent Governor and Republican Senator of Rhode Island Lincoln Chafee on June 3 , 2015 , former Virginia Senator Jim Webb on July 2 , 2015 , and former Harvard law professor Lawrence Lessig on September 6 , 2015 . On October 20 , 2015 , Webb announced his withdrawal from the Democratic primaries , and explored a potential Independent run . The next day Vice-President Joe Biden decided not to run , ending months of speculation , stating , `` While I will not be a candidate , I will not be silent . '' On October 23 , Chafee withdrew , stating that he hoped for `` an end to the endless wars and the beginning of a new era for the United States and humanity '' . On November 2 , after failing to qualify for the second DNC - sanctioned debate after adoption of a rule change negated polls which before might have necessitated his inclusion in the debate , Lessig withdrew as well , narrowing the field to Clinton , O'Malley , and Sanders . On February 1 , 2016 , in an extremely close contest , Clinton won the Iowa caucuses by a margin of 0.2 points over Sanders . After winning no delegates in Iowa , O'Malley withdrew from the presidential race that day . On February 9 , Sanders bounced back to win the New Hampshire primary with 60 % of the vote . In the remaining two February contests , Clinton won the Nevada caucuses with 53 % of the vote and scored a decisive victory in the South Carolina primary with 73 % of the vote . On March 1 , 11 states participated in the first of four `` Super Tuesday '' primaries . Clinton won Alabama , Arkansas , Georgia , Massachusetts , Tennessee , Texas , and Virginia and 504 pledged delegates , while Sanders won Colorado , Minnesota , Oklahoma and his home state of Vermont and 340 delegates . The following weekend , Sanders won victories in Kansas , Nebraska and Maine with 15 -- 30 - point margins , while Clinton won the Louisiana primary with 71 % of the vote . On March 8 , despite never having a lead in the Michigan primary , Sanders won by a small margin of 1.5 points and outperforming polls by over 19 points , while Clinton won 83 % of the vote in Mississippi . On March 15 , the second `` Super Tuesday '' , Clinton won in Florida , Illinois , Missouri , North Carolina and Ohio . Between March 22 and April 9 , Sanders won six caucuses in Idaho , Utah , Alaska , Hawaii , Washington and Wyoming , as well as the Wisconsin primary , while Clinton won the Arizona primary . On April 19 , Clinton won the New York primary with 58 % of the vote . On April 26 , in the third `` Super Tuesday '' dubbed the `` Acela primary '' , she won contests in Connecticut , Delaware , Maryland and Pennsylvania , while Sanders won in Rhode Island . Over the course of May , Sanders accomplished another surprise win in the Indiana primary and also won in West Virginia and Oregon , while Clinton won the Guam caucus and Kentucky primary . On June 4 and 5 , Clinton won two victories in the Virgin Islands caucus and Puerto Rico primary . On June 6 , 2016 , the Associated Press and NBC News reported that Clinton had become the presumptive nominee after reaching the required number of delegates , including pledged delegates and superdelegates , to secure the nomination , becoming the first woman to ever clinch the presidential nomination of a major United States political party . On June 7 , Clinton secured a majority of pledged delegates after winning primaries in California , New Jersey , New Mexico and South Dakota , while Sanders only won in Montana and North Dakota . Clinton also won the final primary in the District of Columbia on June 14 . At the conclusion of the primary process , Clinton had won 2,204 pledged delegates ( 54 % of the total ) awarded by the primary elections and caucuses , while Sanders had won 1,847 ( 46 % ) . Out of the 714 unpledged delegates or `` superdelegates '' who were set to vote in the convention in July , Clinton received endorsements from 560 ( 78 % ) , while Sanders received 47 ( 7 % ) . Although Sanders had not formally dropped out of the race , he announced on June 16 , 2016 , that his main goal in the coming months would be to work with Clinton to defeat Trump in the general election . On July 8 , appointees from the Clinton campaign , the Sanders campaign , and the Democratic National Committee negotiated a draft of the party 's platform . On July 12 , Sanders formally endorsed Clinton at a rally in New Hampshire in which he appeared with her .

In mid-June , The Wall Street Journal reported that Clinton 's shortlist included Representative Xavier Becerra from California , Senator Cory Booker from New Jersey , Senator Sherrod Brown from Ohio , Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro from Texas , Mayor of Los Angeles Eric Garcetti from California , Senator Tim Kaine from Virginia , Labor Secretary Tom Perez from Maryland , Representative Tim Ryan from Ohio , and Senator Elizabeth Warren from Massachusetts . Subsequent reports stated that Clinton was also considering Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack , retired Admiral James Stavridis , and Governor John Hickenlooper of Colorado . In discussing her potential vice presidential choice , Clinton stated that the most important attribute she looked for was the ability and experience to immediately step into the role of president . On July 22 , Clinton announced that she had chosen Senator Tim Kaine from Virginia as her running mate .

Hillary Clinton focused her candidacy on several themes , including raising middle class incomes , expanding women 's rights , instituting campaign finance reform , and improving the Affordable Care Act . In March 2016 , she laid out a detailed economic plan basing her economic philosophy on inclusive capitalism , which proposed a `` clawback '' which would rescind tax relief and other benefits for companies that move jobs overseas ; with provision of incentives for companies that share profits with employees , communities and the environment , rather than focusing on short - term profits to increase stock value and rewarding shareholders ; as well as increasing collective bargaining rights ; and placing an `` exit tax '' on companies that move their headquarters out of America in order to pay a lower tax rate overseas . Clinton promoted equal pay for equal work to address current alleged shortfalls in how much women are paid to do the same jobs men do , promoted explicitly focus on family issues and support of universal preschool , expressed support for the right to same - sex marriage , and proposed allowing undocumented immigrants to have a path to citizenship stating that it `` ( i ) s at its heart a family issue . '' Donald Trump 's campaign drew heavily on his personal image , enhanced by his previous media exposure . The primary slogan of the Trump campaign , extensively used on campaign merchandise , was Make America Great Again . The red baseball cap with the slogan emblazoned on the front became a symbol of the campaign , and has been frequently donned by Trump and his supporters . Trump 's right - wing populist positions -- reported by The New Yorker to be nativist , protectionist , and semi-isolationist -- differ in many ways from traditional conservatism . He opposed many free trade deals and military interventionist policies that conservatives generally support , and opposed cuts in Medicare and Social Security benefits . Moreover , he has insisted that Washington is `` broken '' and can only be fixed by an outsider . Trump support was high among working and middle - class white male voters with annual incomes of less than $50,000 and no college degree . This group , particularly those with less than a high - school education , suffered a decline in their income in recent years . According to The Washington Post , support for Trump is higher in areas with a higher mortality rate for middle - age white people . A sample of interviews with more than 11,000 Republican - leaning respondents from August to December 2015 found that Trump at that time found his strongest support among Republicans in West Virginia , followed by New York , and then followed by six Southern states . Clinton had an uneasy , and at times adversarial relationship with the press throughout her life in public service . Weeks before her official entry as a presidential candidate , Clinton attended a political press corps event , pledging to start fresh on what she described as a `` complicated '' relationship with political reporters . Clinton was initially criticized by the press for avoiding taking their questions , after which she provided more interviews . In contrast , Trump benefited from free media more than any other candidate . From the beginning of his campaign through February 2016 , Trump received almost $2 billion in free media attention , twice the amount that Clinton received . According to data from the Tyndall Report , which tracks nightly news content , through February 2016 , Trump alone accounted for more than a quarter of all 2016 election coverage on the evening newscasts of NBC , CBS and ABC , more than all the Democratic campaigns combined . Observers noted Trump 's ability to garner constant mainstream media coverage `` almost at will '' . However , Trump frequently criticized the media for writing what he alleged to be false stories about him and he has called upon his supporters to be `` the silent majority '' . Trump also said the media `` put false meaning into the words I say '' , and says he does not mind being criticized by the media as long as they are honest about it . Both Clinton and Trump were seen unfavorably by the general public , and their controversial nature set the tone of the campaign . Trump campaigns in Phoenix , Arizona , October 29 , 2016 Clinton 's practice during her time as Secretary of State of using a private email address and server , in lieu of State Department servers , gained widespread public attention back in March 2015 . Concerns were raised about security and preservation of emails , and the possibility that laws may have been violated . After allegations were raised that some of the emails in question fell into this so - called `` born classified '' category , an FBI probe was initiated regarding how classified information was handled on the Clinton server . The FBI probe was concluded on July 5 , 2016 , with a recommendation of no charges , a recommendation that was followed by the Justice Department . On October 28 , eleven days before the election , FBI Director James Comey informed Congress that the FBI was analyzing additional emails obtained during its investigation of an unrelated case . On November 6 , he notified Congress that the new emails did not change the FBI 's earlier conclusion . Also , on September 9 , 2016 , Clinton stated : `` You know , just to be grossly generalistic , you could put half of Trump 's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables . They 're racist , sexist , homophobic , xenophobic , Islamaphobic -- you name it . '' Donald Trump criticized Clinton 's remark as insulting his supporters . The following day Clinton expressed regret for saying `` half '' , while insisting that Trump had deplorably amplified `` hateful views and voices '' . Previously on August 25 , 2016 , Clinton gave a speech criticizing Trump 's campaign for using `` racist lies '' and allowing the alt - right to gain prominence . Clinton campaigns in Raleigh , North Carolina , October 22 , 2016 On the other side , on October 7 , 2016 , video and accompanying audio were released by The Washington Post in which Trump referred obscenely to women in a 2005 conversation with Billy Bush while they were preparing to film an episode of Access Hollywood . The audio was met with a reaction of disbelief and disgust from the media . Following the revelation , Trump 's campaign issued an apology , stating that the video was of a private conversation from `` many years ago '' . The incident was condemned by numerous prominent Republicans like Reince Priebus , Mitt Romney , John Kasich , Jeb Bush and the Speaker of the House Paul Ryan . By October 8 several dozen Republicans had called for Trump to withdraw from the campaign and let Pence head the ticket . Trump insisted he would never drop out . The ongoing controversy of the election made third parties attract voters ' attention . On March 3 , 2016 , Libertarian Gary Johnson addressed the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington DC , touting himself as the third - party option for anti-Trump Republicans . In early May , some commentators opined that Johnson was moderate enough to pull votes away from both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump who were very disliked and polarizing . Both conservative and liberal media noted that Johnson could get votes from `` Never Trump '' Republicans and disaffected Bernie Sanders supporters . Johnson also began to get time on national television , being invited on ABC News , NBC News , CBS News , CNN , Fox News , MSNBC , Bloomberg , and many other networks . In September and October 2016 , Johnson suffered a `` string of damaging stumbles when he has fielded questions about foreign affairs . '' On September 8 , Johnson , when he appeared on MSNBC 's Morning Joe , was asked by panelist Mike Barnicle , `` What would you do , if you were elected , about Aleppo ? '' ( referring to a war - torn city in Syria ) . Johnson responded , `` And what is Aleppo ? '' Johnson 's `` what is Aleppo ? '' question prompted widespread attention , much of it negative . Later that day , Johnson said that he had `` blanked '' and that he did `` understand the dynamics of the Syrian conflict -- I talk about them every day . '' On the other hand , Green Party candidate Jill Stein stated that the Democratic and Republican parties are `` two corporate parties '' that have converged into one . Concerned by the rise of the far right internationally and the tendency towards neoliberalism within the Democratic Party , she has said , `` The answer to neofascism is stopping neoliberalism . Putting another Clinton in the White House will fan the flames of this right - wing extremism . '' In response to Johnson 's growing poll numbers , the Hillary Clinton campaign and Democratic allies increased their criticism of Johnson in September 2016 , warning that `` a vote for a third party is a vote for Donald Trump '' and deploying Senator Bernie Sanders ( Clinton 's former primary rival , who supported her in the general election ) to win over voters who might be considering voting for Johnson or for Stein .

Trump , who has frequently criticized the mainstream media , was not endorsed by the vast majority of newspapers , with the Las Vegas Review - Journal , The Florida Times - Union , and the tabloid National Enquirer his highest profile supporters . Several papers which endorsed Clinton , such as the Houston Chronicle , The Dallas Morning News , The San Diego Union - Tribune , The Columbus Dispatch and The Arizona Republic , endorsed their first Democratic candidate for many decades . USA Today , which had not endorsed any candidate since it was founded in 1982 , broke tradition by giving an anti-endorsement against Trump , declaring him `` unfit for the presidency '' . The Atlantic , which has been in circulation since 1857 , gave Clinton its third - ever endorsement ( after Abraham Lincoln and Lyndon Johnson ) . Other traditionally Republican papers , including the New Hampshire Union Leader , which had endorsed the Republican nominee in every election for the last 100 years , The Detroit News , which had not endorsed a non-Republican in its 143 years , and the Chicago Tribune , endorsed Gary Johnson . Russian involvement Main article : Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections On December 9 , 2016 , the Central Intelligence Agency issued an assessment to lawmakers in the US Senate , stating that a Russian entity hacked the DNC and John Podesta 's emails to assist Donald Trump . The Federal Bureau of Investigation agreed . President Barack Obama ordered a `` full enquiry '' into such possible intervention . Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper in early January 2017 testified before a Senate committee that Russia 's meddling in the 2016 presidential campaign went beyond hacking , and included disinformation and the dissemination of fake news , often promoted on social media . President - elect Trump originally called the report fabricated , and Wikileaks denied any involvement by Russian authorities . Days later , Trump said he could be convinced of the Russian hacking `` if there is a unified presentation of evidence from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and other agencies . '' Several U.S. senators -- including Republicans John McCain , Richard Burr , and Lindsey Graham -- demanded a congressional investigation . The Senate Intelligence Committee announced the scope of their official inquiry on December 13 , 2016 , on a bipartisan basis ; work began on January 24 , 2017 . Notable expressions , phrases , and statements Basket of deplorables -- a controversial phrase coined by Hillary Clinton to describe Trump 's supporters . Birdie Sanders -- after a campaign stop in Portland , Oregon , a white - winged two - barred crossbill landed on Sanders 's podium while he was addressing a large crowd of supporters . The event became popular with the Sanders community and Sanders even began to publicize the bird as `` Birdie Sanders '' . Build that wall / Mexico will pay for the wall -- Trump 's campaign promise that if elected he will build a wall on the border between the US and Mexico , with Mexico financing the project . Drain the swamp -- a phrase Donald Trump invoked late in the campaign to describe what needs to be done to fix problems in the federal government . Trump acknowledged that the phrase was suggested to him , and he was initially skeptical about using it . Fake news -- stories that are untrue . Trump has used the expression to refer to stories he dislikes . Feel the Bern -- a phrase chanted by supporters of the Bernie Sanders campaign which was officially adopted by his campaign . Grab them by the pussy -- a remark made by Trump in a 2005 private conversation which was recorded by a hot mic and released during the campaign . By saying this remark , Trump intended to boast how as a celebrity he can do things ( namely grab women by their genitalia ) that non-celebrities can not . I 'm with her -- Clinton 's unofficial campaign slogan ( `` Stronger Together '' was the official slogan ) . Lock her up -- a chant first used at the Republican convention to indicate that Hillary Clinton is guilty of a crime . The chant was later used at many Trump campaign rallies . Make America great again -- Trump 's campaign slogan . Trump 's use of derogatory nicknames to deride his opponents -- these include `` Crooked Hillary '' , `` Little Marco '' , `` Low energy Jeb '' , and `` Lying Ted . '' Small hands -- Marco Rubio asserting that Trump has small hands , and implying that the size of his hands is proportional to the size of his penis . What is Aleppo ? -- uttered by Gary Johnson during an interview when questioned about the status of Aleppo during the Syrian Civil War . What the hell do you have to lose ? - said by Trump to inner - city African Americans at rallies starting on August 19 , 2018 .

According to the commission 's website , to be eligible to opt to participate in the anticipated debates , `` ... in addition to being Constitutionally eligible , candidates must appear on a sufficient number of state ballots to have a mathematical chance of winning a majority vote in the Electoral College , and have a level of support of at least 15 percent of the national electorate as determined by five selected national public opinion polling organizations , using the average of those organizations ' most recently publicly - reported results at the time of the determination . '' The three locations chosen to host the presidential debates , and the one location selected to host the vice presidential debate , were announced on September 23 , 2015 . The site of the first debate was originally designated as Wright State University in Dayton , Ohio ; however , due to rising costs and security concerns , the debate was moved to Hofstra University in Hempstead , New York . On August 19 , Kellyanne Conway , Trump 's campaign manager confirmed that Trump would participate in a series of three debates . Trump had complained two of the scheduled debates , one on September 26 and the other October 9 , would have to compete for viewers with National Football League games , referencing the similar complaints made regarding the dates with low expected ratings during the Democratic Party presidential debates . The Free & Equal Elections Foundation announced plans to host an open debate among all presidential candidates who had ballot access sufficient to represent a majority of electoral votes . In October 2016 Free & Equal extended the invitation to all candidates with ballot lines representing at least 15 % of the electoral vote . The nominees of the Democratic , Republican , Libertarian , Green , Constitution , Reform , and Socialism and Liberation parties , as well as independent candidate Evan McMullin , were invited to participate . The debate was held at the University of Colorado Boulder 's Macky Auditorium on October 25 , 2016 . It was moderated by Ed Asner and Christina Tobin , with Darrell Castle , Rocky De La Fuente , and Gloria La Riva participating . PBS hosted a debate moderated by Tavis Smiley between Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson and Green Party candidate Jill Stein . Debates among candidates for the 2016 U.S. presidential election No .

The election was held on November 8 , 2016 . Clinton cast her vote in Chappaqua , Westchester County , New York , while Trump voted in a Manhattan public school . Throughout the day , the election process went more smoothly than many had expected , with only a few reports of long lines and equipment problems . The news media and election experts were surprised twice , at Trump 's winning the GOP nomination and in winning the electoral college . English political scientist Lloyd Gruber says , `` One of the major casualties of the 2016 election season has been the reputation of political science , a discipline whose practitioners had largely dismissed Donald Trump 's chances of gaining the Republican nomination . '' The final polls showed a lead by Clinton -- and indeed she did win more popular votes . Trump himself expected to lose the election based on polling , and rented a small hotel ballroom to make a brief concession speech ; `` I said if we 're going to lose I do n't want a big ballroom '' , he said . The Republican candidate performed surprisingly well in all battleground states , especially Florida , Iowa , Ohio and North Carolina . Even Wisconsin , Pennsylvania , and Michigan , states that had been predicted to vote Democratic , were won by Trump . Cindy Adams , present at Trump Tower , reported that `` Trumptown knew they 'd won by 5 : 30 . Math , calculations , candidate dislike causing voter abstention begat the numbers . '' Trump said that he was surprised by how `` that map was getting red as hell . That map was bleeding red ... I always used to believe in ( polls ) . I do n't believe them anymore . '' On November 9 , 2016 , at 3 : 00 AM Eastern Time , Trump secured over 270 electoral votes , the majority of the 538 electors in the Electoral College , enough to make him the president - elect of the United States . According to the authors of Shattered : Inside Hillary Clinton 's Doomed Campaign , by late Tuesday night the White House had decided that Trump had won the election . Obama aide David Simas called Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook to unsuccessfully persuade Clinton to concede the election . Obama then called Clinton herself , citing the importance of continuity of government , to publicly acknowledge that Trump had won ; believing that she was still unwilling to concede the president called Podesta , telling him that the election was over , but the call to Clinton had likely already persuaded her . Clinton called Trump early on Wednesday morning to concede defeat , and later that day asked her supporters to accept the result and hoped that Trump would be `` a successful president for all Americans . '' In his victory speech Trump appealed for unity saying `` it is time for us to come together as one united people '' and praised Clinton who was owed `` a major debt of gratitude for her service to our country . '' Six states plus a portion of Maine that Obama won in 2012 switched to Trump . These are ( with Electoral College votes in parentheses ) : Florida ( 29 ) , Pennsylvania ( 20 ) , Ohio ( 18 ) , Michigan ( 16 ) , Wisconsin ( 10 ) , Iowa ( 6 ) , and Maine 's second congressional district ( 1 ) . Initially , Trump won exactly 100 more Electoral College votes than Mitt Romney in 2012 , with two lost to faithless electors the following month . Thirty - nine states swung more Republican compared to the previous Presidential election , while eleven states and the District of Columbia swung more Democratic . Based on U.S. Census Bureau estimates of the voting age population ( VAP ) , turnout of voters casting a vote for President was nearly 1 % higher than 2012 . Examining overall turnout in the 2016 election , University of Florida Prof. Michael McDonald estimated that 138.8 million Americans cast a ballot in 2016 . 65.9 million of those ballots have been counted for Clinton and just under 63 million for Trump , representing 20.3 % ( Clinton ) and 19.4 % ( Trump ) of a census estimate of U.S. population that day of 324 million . Considering a VAP of 250.6 million people and voting eligible population ( VEP ) of 230.6 million people , this is a turnout rate of 55.4 % VAP and 60.2 % VEP . Based on this estimate , voter turnout was up compared to 2012 ( 54.1 % VAP ) but down compared to 2008 ( 57.4 % VAP ) . A FEC report of the 2016 Presidential General Election recorded an official total of 136.7 million votes cast for President -- more than any prior election . Data scientist Azhar Hamdan , explained the paradoxes of the 2016 outcome compared Trump 's 30 states against Clinton 's 20 states and the District of Columbia , saying `` chief among them the discrepancy between the popular vote , which Hillary Clinton won by 2.8 million votes , and the electoral college , where Trump won 304 - 227 '' . He said Trump outperformed Mitt Romney 's 2012 results , while Clinton only just matched Barack Obama 's 2012 totals . Hamdan also said Trump was `` the highest vote earner of any Republican candidate ever , '' exceeding George W. Bush 's 62.04 million votes in 2004 , though neither reached Clinton 's 65.9 million , nor Obama 's 69.5 million votes in 2008 , the overall record . He concluded , with help from The Cook Political Report , that the election hinged not on Clinton 's large 2.8 million overall vote margin over Trump , but rather on about 78,000 votes from only three counties in Wisconsin , Pennsylvania , and Michigan .

The source for the results of all states is the official Federal Election Commission report . The column labeled `` Margin '' shows Trump 's margin of victory over Clinton ( the margin is negative for every state the Clinton won ) . A total of 29 third party and independent presidential candidates appeared on the ballot in at least one state . Former Governor of New Mexico Gary Johnson and physician Jill Stein repeated their 2012 roles as the nominees for the Libertarian Party and the Green Party , respectively . With ballot access to the entire national electorate , Johnson received nearly 4.5 million votes ( 3.27 % ) , the highest nationwide vote share for a third - party candidate since Ross Perot in 1996 , while Stein received almost 1.45 million votes ( 1.06 % ) , the most for a Green nominee since Ralph Nader in 2000 . Independent candidate Evan McMullin , who appeared on the ballot in 11 states , received over 732,000 votes ( 0.53 % ) . He won 21.4 % of the vote in his home state of Utah , the highest share of the vote for a third - party candidate in any state since 1992 . Despite dropping out of the election following his defeat in the Democratic primary , Senator Bernie Sanders received 5.7 % of the vote in his home state of Vermont , the highest write - in draft campaign percentage for a presidential candidate in American history . Johnson and McMullin were the first third party candidates since Nader to receive at least 5 % of the vote in one or more states , with Johnson crossing the mark in 11 states and McMullin crossing it in two . Aside from Florida and North Carolina , the states which secured Trump 's victory are situated in the Great Lakes / Rust Belt region . Wisconsin went Republican for the first time since 1984 , while Pennsylvania and Michigan went Republican for the first time since 1988 . Stein petitioned for a recount in these states .

Battleground states Most media outlets announced the beginning of the presidential race about twenty months prior to Election Day . Soon after the first contestants declared their candidacy , Larry Sabato listed Virginia , Colorado , Iowa , New Hampshire , Florida , Nevada , and Ohio as the seven states most likely to be contested in the general election . After Donald Trump clinched the Republican presidential nomination , many pundits felt that the major campaign locations might be different from what had originally been expected . Rust Belt states such as Pennsylvania , Wisconsin , and even Michigan were thought to be in play with Trump as the nominee , while states with large minority populations , such as Colorado and Virginia , were expected to shift towards Clinton . By the conventions period and the debates , however , it did not seem as though the Rust Belt states could deliver a victory to Trump . According to Politico and the 538 online blog , his path to victory went through states such as Florida , North Carolina , Nevada , New Hampshire , and possibly Colorado . Early polling indicated a closer - than - usual race in former Democratic strongholds such as Washington , Delaware , New Jersey , Connecticut , Maine ( for the two statewide electoral votes ) , and New Mexico . Meanwhile , research indicators from inside of a host of Republican - leaning states such as Arizona , Indiana , Georgia , South Carolina , Alaska , Utah , Texas , Kansas , Mississippi , Missouri , Montana , and South Dakota reported weaker support for Trump than expected , although the nominee 's position solidified in a few other areas . Some reviews took this information as evidence of an expanded ' swing - state map ' . A consensus among political pundits developed throughout the primary election season regarding swing states . From the results of presidential elections from 2004 through to 2012 , the Democratic and Republican parties would generally start with a safe electoral vote count of about 150 to 200 . However , the margins required to constitute a swing state are vague , and can vary between groups of analysts . It was thought that left - leaning states in the Rust Belt could become more conservative , as Trump had strong appeal among many blue - collar workers . They represent a large portion of the American populace and were a major factor in Trump 's eventual nomination . Trump 's primary campaign was propelled by victories in Democratic states , and his supporters often did not identify as Republican . In addition , local factors may come into play . For example , Utah was the reddest state in 2012 , although the Republican share was boosted significantly by the candidacy of Mormon candidate Mitt Romney . Despite its partisan orientation , some reports suggested a victory there by independent candidate Evan McMullin , particularly if there was a nationwide blowout . Media reports indicated that both candidates planned to concentrate on Florida , Pennsylvania , Ohio and North Carolina . Among the Republican - leaning states , potential Democratic targets included Nebraska 's second congressional district , Georgia , and Arizona . Trump 's relatively poor polling in some traditionally Republican states , such as Utah , raised the possibility that they could vote for Clinton , despite easy wins there by recent Republican nominees . However , many analysts asserted that these states were not yet viable Democratic destinations . Several sites and individuals publish electoral predictions . These generally rate the race by the likelihood for each party to win a state . The `` tossup '' label is usually used to indicate that neither party has an advantage , `` lean '' to indicate a party has a slight edge , `` likely '' to indicate a party has a clear but not overwhelming advantage , and `` safe '' to indicate a party has an advantage that can not be overcome . As the parameters of the race established themselves , analysts converged on a narrower list of contested states , which were relatively similar to those of recent elections . On November 7 , the Cook Political Report categorized Arizona , Colorado , Florida , Iowa , Michigan , Nevada , New Hampshire , North Carolina , Ohio , Pennsylvania , and Wisconsin as states with close races . Additionally , a district from each of Maine and Nebraska were considered to be coin flips . Meanwhile , FiveThirtyEight listed twenty - two states as potentially competitive about a month before the election -- Maine 's two at - large electoral votes , New Mexico , Minnesota , Michigan , Colorado , Virginia , Wisconsin , Pennsylvania , New Hampshire , Nevada , Florida , North Carolina , Ohio , Iowa , Arizona , Georgia , Alaska , South Carolina , Texas , Indiana , Missouri , and Utah -- as well as Maine 's second and Nebraska 's second congressional districts . Nate Silver , the publication 's editor - in - chief , subsequently removed Texas , South Carolina , Missouri , and Indiana from the list after the race tightened significantly . These conclusions were supported by models such as the Princeton Elections Consortium , the New York Times Upshot , and punditry evaluations from Sabato 's Crystal Ball and the Cook Political Report . Clinton won states like New Mexico by less than 10 percentage points . Among the states where the candidates finished at a margin of within 7 percent , Clinton won Virginia ( 13 electoral votes ) , Colorado ( 9 ) , Maine ( 2 ) , Minnesota ( 10 ) , and New Hampshire ( 4 ) . On the other hand , Trump won Michigan ( 16 ) , Pennsylvania ( 20 ) , Wisconsin ( 10 ) , Florida ( 29 ) , North Carolina ( 15 ) , Arizona ( 11 ) , Nebraska 's second district ( 1 ) , and Georgia ( 16 ) . States won by Obama in the 2012 contest , such as Ohio ( 18 ) , Iowa ( 6 ) , and Maine 's second district ( 1 ) , were also won by Trump . The close result in Maine was not expected by most commentators , nor were Trump 's victory of over 10 points in the second district and their disparities . The dramatic shift of Midwestern states towards Trump were contrasted in the media against the relative movement of Southern states towards the Democrats . For example , former Democratic strongholds such as Minnesota leaned towards the GOP and Iowa voted more Republican than Texas did , while Arizona and Georgia were more Democratic than Ohio . Trump 's smaller victories in Alaska and Utah also took some experts by surprise . After the conventions of the national parties , candidates from the main parties carried out trips to the states : Florida - 72 , Pennsylvania - 59 , North Carolina - 52 , Ohio - 43 , Virginia - 25 , Michigan - 24 , Iowa - 23 , New Hampshire - 22 , Colorado - 19 , Nevada - 16 , Wisconsin - 15 , Arizona - 10 .

The voter survey is based on exit polls completed by 24,537 voters leaving 350 voting places throughout the United States on Election Day , in addition to 4,398 telephone interviews with early and absentee voters . Trump 's crucial victories in the Midwest were aided in large part by his strong margins among non-college whites -- while Obama lost those voters by a margin of 10 points in 2012 , Clinton lost this group by 20 percent . The election also represented the first time that Republicans performed better among lower - income whites than among affluent white voters . To some analysts ' surprise , Trump narrowed Clinton 's margin compared to Obama by 7 points among blacks and African - Americans , 8 points among Latinos , and 11 points among Asian - Americans . Meanwhile , Trump increased his lead with non-Hispanic white voters through 1 percent over Mitt Romney 's performance , and American Indians , Alaska Natives , and Pacific Islanders shifted their support towards the Republican candidate using the same relative amount . Additionally , although 74 percent of Muslim voters supported Clinton , Trump nearly doubled his support among those voters compared to Mitt Romney , according to the Council on American -- Islamic Relations exit poll . However , `` more convincing data '' from the polling firm Latino Decisions indicates that Clinton received a higher share of the Hispanic vote , and Trump a lower share , than the Edison exit polls showed . Using wider , more geographically and linguistically representative sampling , Latino Decisions concluded that Clinton won 79 % of Hispanic voters ( also an improvement over Obama 's share in 2008 and 2012 ) , while Trump won only 18 % ( lower than previous Republicans such as Romney and McCain ) . Additionally , the 2016 Cooperative Congressional Election Study found that Clinton 's share of the Hispanic vote was 1 percentage point higher than Obama 's in 2012 , while Trump 's was 7 percentage points lower than Romney 's . Similarly , a large , multi-lingual study by the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund found that Clinton won 79 % of Asian - American voters , higher than the Edison exit poll showed , while Trump only won 18 % , a decrease from McCain 's and Romney 's numbers . Furthermore , according to the AALDEF 's report , Trump received merely 2 % of the Muslim - American vote , whereas Clinton received 97 % . 2016 Presidential vote by demographic subgroup ( Edison Exit Polling ) Demographic subgroup Clinton Trump Other % of total vote Total vote 48 46 6 100 Ideology Liberals 84 10 6 26 Moderates 52 41 7 39 Conservatives 15 81 35 Party Democrats 89 9 37 Republicans 7 90 33 Independents 42 48 10 31 Party by gender Democratic men 87 10 14 Democratic women 90 8 23 Republican men 6 90 17 Republican women 8 89 16 Independent men 37 51 10 17 Independent women 47 43 7 14 Gender Men 41 52 7 47 Women 54 41 5 53 Marital status Married 44 52 59 Unmarried 55 37 8 41 Gender by marital status Married men 37 58 5 29 Married women 49 47 30 Non-married men 46 45 9 19 Non-married women 62 33 5 23 Race / ethnicity White 37 58 5 70 Black 88 8 12 Asian 65 29 6 Other 56 37 7 Hispanic ( of any race ) 65 29 6 11 Gender by race / ethnicity White men 31 63 5 34 White women 43 53 37 Black men 80 13 6 5 Black women 94 7 Latino men ( of any race ) 62 33 5 Latino women ( of any race ) 68 26 5 6 All other races 61 32 5 6 Religion Protestant 37 60 27 Catholic 45 52 23 Mormon 25 61 14 Other Christian 43 55 24 Jewish 71 24 5 Other religion 58 33 9 7 None 68 26 6 15 Religious service attendance Weekly or more 40 56 33 Monthly 46 49 5 16 A few times a year 48 47 5 29 Never 62 31 7 22 White evangelical or born - again Christian White evangelical or born - again Christian 16 81 26 Everyone else 59 35 6 74 Age 18 -- 24 years old 56 35 9 10 25 -- 29 years old 53 39 8 9 30 -- 39 years old 51 40 9 17 40 -- 49 years old 46 50 19 50 -- 64 years old 44 53 30 65 and older 45 53 15 Age by race Whites 18 -- 29 years old 43 47 10 12 Whites 30 -- 44 years old 37 54 9 16 Whites 45 -- 64 years old 34 62 30 Whites 65 and older 39 58 13 Blacks 18 -- 29 years old 85 9 6 Blacks 30 -- 44 years old 89 7 Blacks 45 -- 64 years old 89 7 5 Blacks 65 and older 91 9 n / a Latinos 18 -- 29 years old 68 26 6 Latinos 30 -- 44 years old 65 28 7 Latinos 45 -- 64 years old 64 32 Latinos 65 and older 73 25 Others 61 31 8 6 Sexual orientation LGBT 78 14 8 5 Heterosexual 47 48 5 95 First time voter First time voter 56 40 10 Everyone else 47 47 6 90 Education High school or less 45 51 18 Some college education 43 52 5 32 College graduate 49 45 6 32 Postgraduate education 58 37 5 18 Education by race / ethnicity White college graduates 45 49 37 White no college degree 28 67 34 Non-white college graduates 71 23 5 13 Non-white no college degree 75 20 16 Education by race / ethnicity / sex White women with college degrees 51 44 5 20 White men with college degrees 39 53 8 17 White women without college degrees 34 61 5 17 White men without college degrees 23 71 6 16 Non-whites 74 21 5 29 Family income Under $30,000 53 41 6 17 $30,000 -- 49,999 51 42 7 19 $50,000 -- 99,999 46 50 31 $100,000 -- 199,999 47 48 5 24 $200,000 -- 249,999 48 49 Over $250,000 46 48 6 6 Union households Union 51 42 7 18 Non-union 46 48 6 82 Military service Veterans 34 60 6 13 Non-veterans 50 44 6 87 Issue regarded as most important Foreign policy 60 34 6 13 Immigration 32 64 13 Economy 52 42 6 52 Terrorism 39 57 18 Region Northeast 55 40 5 19 Midwest 45 49 6 23 South 44 52 37 West 55 39 6 21 Community size Cities ( population 50,000 and above ) 59 35 6 34 Suburbs 45 50 5 49 Rural areas 34 62 17 Forecasting Further information : Nationwide opinion polling for the United States presidential election , 2016 and Statewide opinion polling for the United States presidential election , 2016 Various methods were used to forecast the outcome of the 2016 election . For the 2016 election , there were many competing election forecast approaches including Nate Silver 's FiveThirtyEight , The Upshot at The New York Times , Daily Kos , Princeton Election Consortium , Cook Political Report , Rothenberg and Gonzales , PollyVote , Sabato 's Crystal Ball and Electoral - Vote . These models mostly showed a Democratic advantage since the nominees were confirmed , and were supported by pundits and statisticians , including Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight , Nate Cohn at The New York Times , and Larry Sabato from the Crystal Ball newsletter , who predicted a Democratic victory in competitive presidential races and projected consistent leads in several battleground states around the country . The near - unanimity of forecasters in predicting a Clinton victory may have been the result of groupthink . However , FiveThirtyEight 's model pointed to the possibility of an Electoral College - popular vote split widening in the final weeks based on Trump 's improvement in swing states like Florida or Pennsylvania . This was due to the demographics targeted by Trump 's campaign which lived in big numbers there , in addition to Clinton 's poor performance in several of those swing states in comparison with Obama 's performance in 2012 , as well as having a big number of her potential voters in very populated traditionally ' blue ' states , but also in some very populated states traditionally ' red ' , like Texas , which were projected safe for Trump . Early exit polls generally favored Clinton . After the polls closed and some of the results came in , the forecasts were found to be inaccurate , as Trump performed better in the competitive Midwestern states , such as Iowa , Ohio , and Minnesota , than expected . Three states ( Pennsylvania , Wisconsin and Michigan ) which were considered to be part of Clinton 's firewall , were won by Trump . Of the states in the Great Lakes region , Clinton won the swing state of Minnesota by 1 point , as well as traditional Democratic strongholds such as New York and Illinois with populous urban centers . This result stands in contrast to the 2012 results , when President Obama won all but Indiana , which he carried in 2008 . This table displays the final polling average published by Real Clear Politics on November 7 , the actual electoral margin , and the over-performance by either candidate relative to the polls . State Electoral votes Polling average Final result Difference Arizona 11 Trump + 4 Trump + 3.5 Clinton + 0.5 Colorado 9 Clinton + 2.9 Clinton + 4.9 Clinton + 2 Florida 29 Trump + 0.2 Trump + 1.2 Trump + 1 Georgia 16 Trump + 4.8 Trump + 5.1 Trump + 0.3 Iowa 6 Trump + 3 Trump + 9.5 Trump + 6.5 Maine Clinton + 4.5 Clinton + 2.9 Trump + 1.6 Michigan 16 Clinton + 3.4 Trump + 0.3 Trump + 3.7 Minnesota 10 Clinton + 6.2 Clinton + 1.5 Trump + 4.7 Nevada 6 Trump + 0.8 Clinton + 2.4 Clinton + 3.2 New Hampshire Clinton + 0.6 Clinton + 0.3 Trump + 0.3 New Mexico 5 Clinton + 5 Clinton + 8.3 Clinton + 3.3 North Carolina 15 Trump + 1 Trump + 3.7 Trump + 2.7 Ohio 18 Trump + 3.5 Trump + 8.1 Trump + 4.6 Pennsylvania 20 Clinton + 1.9 Trump + 0.7 Trump + 2.6 Virginia 13 Clinton + 5 Clinton + 5.4 Clinton + 0.4 Wisconsin 10 Clinton + 6.5 Trump + 0.7 Trump + 7.2 Many pollsters were puzzled by the failure of mainstream forecasting models to predict the outcome of the 2016 election . Some journalists compared the 2016 election to the failure of prognosticator Arthur Henning in the `` Dewey Defeats Truman '' incident from the 1948 presidential election . Sean Trende , writing for RealClearPolitics , wrote that many of the polls were accurate , but that the pundits ' interpretation of these polls neglected polling error . Nate Silver found that the high number of undecided and third - party voters in the election was neglected in many of these models , and that many of these voters decided to vote for Trump . According to a February 2018 study by Public Opinion Quarterly , the main sources of polling error were `` a late swing in vote preference toward Trump and a pervasive failure to adjust for over-representation of college graduates ( who favored Clinton ) , '' whereas the share of `` shy '' Trump voters ( who declined to admit their support for Trump to the pollsters ) proved to be negligible . FiveThirtyEight 's final polls - plus forecast predicted 18 states , plus the second congressional districts of Maine and Nebraska , with an interval of confidence lower than 90 % . However , every major forecaster , including FiveThirtyEight , the New York Times Upshot , prediction markets aggregator PredictWise , ElectionBettingOdds from Maxim Lott and John Stossel , the DailyKos , the Princeton Election Consortium , the Huffington Post , the Cook Political Report , Larry Sabato 's Crystal Ball , and the Rothenberg and Gonzales Report , called every state the same way ( although Cook and Rothenberg - Gonzales left two and five states as toss - ups , respectively ) . The sole exception was Maine 's 2nd congressional district . Of the forecasters who published results on the district , the Times gave Trump a 64 % chance of winning and PredictWise a 52 % chance , FiveThirtyEight gave Clinton a 51 % chance of winning in polls - only and 54 % in polls - plus , Princeton gave her a 60 % chance , Cook labelled it a toss - up , and Sabato leaned it towards Trump . The following table displays the final winning probabilities given by each outlet , along with the final electoral result . The states shown have been identified by Politico , WhipBoard , the New York Times , and the Crystal Ball as battlegrounds .

Protests Play media News report about the protests in Los Angeles on November 12 from Voice of America Further information : Protests against Donald Trump § Post-election protests Following the announcement of Trump 's election , large protests broke out across the United States with some continuing for several days . Protesters have held up a number of different signs and chanted various shouts including `` Not my president '' and `` We do n't accept the president - elect '' . The movement organized on Twitter under the hashtags # Antitrump and # NotMyPresident . High school and college students walked out of classes to protest . The protests were peaceful for the most part . At some protests fires were lit , flags and other items were burned and people yelled derogatory remarks about Trump . Rioters also broke glass at certain locations . Celebrities such as Madonna , Cher , and Lady Gaga took part in New York . Some protesters took to blocking freeways in Los Angeles , San Diego , and Portland , Oregon , and were dispersed by police in the early hours of the morning . In a number of cities , protesters were dispersed with rubber bullets , pepper spray and bean - bags fired by police . In New York City , calls were made to continue the protests over the coming days after the election . Former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani called protesters `` a bunch of spoiled cry - babies . '' Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti expressed understanding of the protests and praised those who peacefully wanted to make their voices heard . Vote tampering concerns After the election , computer scientists , including J. Alex Halderman , the director of the University of Michigan Center for Computer Security and Society , urged the Clinton campaign to request an election recount in Wisconsin , Michigan , and Pennsylvania ( three swing states where Trump had won narrowly ) for the purpose of excluding the possibility that the hacking of electronic voting machines had influenced the recorded outcome . However , statistician Nate Silver performed a regression analysis which demonstrated that the alleged discrepancy between paper ballots and electronic voting machines `` completely disappears once you control for race and education level '' . On November 25 , 2016 , the Obama administration said the results from November 8 `` accurately reflect the will of the American people . '' The following day , the White House released another statement , saying : `` the federal government did not observe any increased level of malicious cyberactivity aimed at disrupting our electoral process on Election Day . '' Recount Petitions Main article : 2016 United States presidential election recounts On November 23 , Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein launched a public fundraiser to pay for recounts in Wisconsin , Michigan , and Pennsylvania , asserting that the election 's outcome had been affected by hacking in those states ; Stein did not provide evidence for her claims . Changing the outcome of these three states would make Clinton the winner , and this would require showing that fewer than 60 000 votes had been counted for Trump which should have been counted for Clinton . Stein filed for a recount in Wisconsin on November 25 , after which Clinton campaign general counsel Marc Elias stated that their campaign would join Stein 's recount efforts in that state and possibly others `` in order to ensure the process proceeds in a manner that is fair to all sides . '' Stein subsequently filed for a recount in Pennsylvania on November 28 , and in Michigan on November 30 . Concurrently , American Delta Party / Reform Party presidential candidate Rocky De La Fuente sought and was granted a partial recount in Nevada that was unrelated to Stein 's efforts . President - elect Donald Trump issued a statement denouncing Stein 's Wisconsin recount request saying , `` The people have spoken and the election is over . '' Trump further commented that the recount `` is a scam by the Green Party for an election that has already been conceded . '' The Trump campaign and Republican Party officials moved to block Stein 's three recount efforts through state and federal courts . U.S. District Judge Mark Goldsmith ordered a halt to the recount in Michigan on December 7 , dissolving a previous temporary restraining order against the Michigan Board of Elections that allowed the recount to continue , stating in his order : `` Plaintiffs have not presented evidence of tampering or mistake . Instead , they present speculative claims going to the vulnerability of the voting machinery -- but not actual injury . '' On December 12 , U.S. District Judge Paul Diamond rejected an appeal by the Green Party and Jill Stein to force a recount in Pennsylvania , stating that suspicion of a hacked Pennsylvania election `` borders on the irrational '' and that granting the Green Party 's recount bid could `` ensure that no Pennsylvania vote counts '' given the December 13 , 2016 , federal deadline to certify the vote for the Electoral College . Meanwhile , the Wisconsin recount was allowed to continue as it was nearing completion and had uncovered no significant irregularities . The recounts in Wisconsin and Nevada were completed on schedule , resulting in only minor changes to vote tallies . A partial recount of Michigan ballot found some precinct imbalances in Detroit , which were corrected . A subsequent state audit found no evidence of voter fraud and concluded that the mistakes , which were `` almost entirely '' caused by poll - worker mistakes attributed to poor training , did not impair `` the ability of Detroit residents to cast a ballot and have their vote counted . '' The overall outcome of the election remained unchanged by the recount efforts . Electoral College lobbying Intense lobbying ( in one case involving claims of harassment and death threats ) and grass - roots campaigns have been directed at various GOP electors of the United States Electoral College to convince a sufficient number of them ( 37 ) to not vote for Trump , thus precluding a Trump presidency . Members of the Electoral College themselves started a campaign for other members to `` vote their conscience for the good of America '' in accordance with Alexander Hamilton 's Federalist Paper No. 68 . This group 's members may have become faithless electors in the presidential election . On December 5 , former candidate Lawrence Lessig and attorney Laurence Tribe established The Electors Trust under the aegis of EqualCitizens.US to provide pro bono legal counsel as well as a secure communications platform for members of the Electoral College who are regarding a vote of conscience against Trump . On December 6 , Colorado Secretary of State Wayne W. Williams castigated Democratic electors who had filed a lawsuit in Federal court to have the state law binding them to the popular vote ( in their case for Hillary Clinton ) overturned . On December 10 , ten electors , in an open letter headed by Christine Pelosi to the Director of National Intelligence James Clapper , demanded an intelligence briefing in light of Russian interference in the election to help Trump win the presidency . Fifty - eight additional electors subsequently added their names to the letter , bringing the total to 68 electors from 17 different states . On December 16 , the briefing request was denied . On December 19 , several electors voted against their pledged candidates : two against Trump and five against Clinton . A further three electors attempted to vote against Clinton but were replaced or forced to vote again . The 115th United States Congress officially certified the results on January 6 , 2017 . Faithless electors Main article : Faithless electors in the United States presidential election , 2016 In the Electoral College vote on December 19 , for the first time since 1808 , multiple faithless electors voted against their pledged qualified presidential candidate . Five Democrats rebelled in Washington and Hawaii , while two Republicans rebelled in Texas . Two Democratic electors , one in Minnesota and one in Colorado , were replaced after voting for Bernie Sanders and John Kasich , respectively . Electors in Maine conducted a second vote after one of its members voted for Sanders ; the elector then voted for Clinton . Likewise , for the first time since 1896 , multiple faithless electors voted against the pledged qualified vice presidential candidate . One Clinton elector in Colorado attempted to vote for John Kasich . The single vote was ruled invalid by Colorado state law , the elector was dismissed , and an alternative elector was sworn in who voted for Clinton . One Clinton elector in Minnesota voted for Bernie Sanders as President and Tulsi Gabbard as vice president ; his votes were discarded and he was replaced by an alternate who voted for Clinton . One Clinton elector in Maine voted for Bernie Sanders ; this vote was invalidated as `` improper '' and the elector subsequently voted for Clinton . Four Clinton electors in Washington did not vote for Clinton ( three votes went to Colin Powell , and one to Faith Spotted Eagle ) . One Trump elector in Georgia resigned before the vote rather than vote for Trump and was replaced by an alternate . Two Trump electors in Texas did not vote for Trump ( one vote went to John Kasich , one to Ron Paul ) ; one elector did not vote for Pence and instead voted for Carly Fiorina for Vice-President ; a third resigned before the vote rather than vote for Trump and was replaced by an alternate . One Clinton elector in Hawaii voted for Bernie Sanders . Of the faithless votes , Colin Powell and Elizabeth Warren were the only two to receive more than one ; Powell received three electoral votes for President and Warren received two for Vice President . Receiving one valid electoral vote each were Sanders , John Kasich , Ron Paul and Faith Spotted Eagle for President , and Carly Fiorina , Susan Collins , Winona LaDuke and Maria Cantwell for Vice President . Sanders is the first Jewish American to receive an electoral vote for President . LaDuke is the first Green Party member to receive an electoral vote , and Paul is the third member of the Libertarian Party to do so , following the party 's presidential and vice-presidential nominees each getting one vote in 1972 . It is the first election with faithless electors from more than one political party . The seven people to receive electoral votes for president were the most in a single election since 1796 , and more than any other election since the enactment of the Twelfth Amendment in 1804 .

"Data scientist Azhar Hamdan, explained the paradoxes of the 2016 outcome compared Trump's 30 states against Clinton's 20 states and the District of Columbia, [350][351] saying \"chief among them the discrepancy between the popular vote, which Hillary Clinton won by 2.8 million votes, and the electoral college, where Trump won 304-227\". He said Trump outperformed Mitt Romney's 2012 results, while Clinton only just matched Barack Obama's 2012 totals.[350] Hamdan also said Trump was \"the highest vote earner of any Republican candidate ever,\" exceeding George W. Bush's 62.04 million votes in 2004, though neither reached Clinton's 65.9 million, nor Obama's 69.5 million votes in 2008, the overall record.[350] He concluded, with help from The Cook Political Report, that the election hinged not on Clinton's large 2.8 million overall vote margin over Trump, but rather on about 78,000 votes from only three counties in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan.[350][352]"

-1885151877708070733 | Ministries of Nineteen Eighty-Four | Ministries of Nineteen Eighty - Four - wikipedia Ministries of Nineteen Eighty - Four `` Ministry of Love '' redirects here . For other uses , see Ministry of Love ( disambiguation ) . The Ministries of Love , Peace , Plenty , and Truth are ministries in George Orwell 's futuristic dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty - Four , set in Oceania . Despite the name , no actual `` ministers '' are mentioned in the book , and all public attention is focused on the idealized figurehead Big Brother . The Ministry of Peace concerns itself with war , the Ministry of Truth with lies , the Ministry of Love with torture and the Ministry of Plenty with starvation . These contradictions are not accidental , nor do they result from ordinary hypocrisy : they are deliberate exercises in doublethink . -- Part II , Chapter IX Contents 1 Ministry of Love 1.1 Room 101 2 Ministry of Peace 3 Ministry of Plenty 4 Ministry of Truth 4.1 Description 4.2 Role in information 4.3 Departments 5 Cultural impact 5.1 In fiction 6 References Ministry of Love ( edit ) The Ministry of Love ( Newspeak : Miniluv ) serves as Oceania 's interior ministry . It enforces loyalty to Big Brother through fear , buttressed through a massive apparatus of security and repression , as well as systematic brainwashing . The Ministry of Love building has no windows and is surrounded by barbed wire entanglements , steel doors , hidden machine - gun nests , and guards armed with `` jointed truncheons '' . Referred to as `` the place where there is no darkness '' , its interior lights are never turned off . It is arguably the most powerful ministry , controlling the will of the population . The Thought Police are a part of Miniluv . The Ministry of Love , like the other ministries , is misnamed , since it is largely responsible for the practice and infliction of misery , fear , suffering and torture . In a sense , however , the name is apt , since its ultimate purpose is to instill love of Big Brother -- the only form of love permitted in Oceania -- in the minds of thoughtcriminals as part of the process of reverting them to orthodox thought . This is typical of the language of Newspeak , in which words and names frequently contain both an idea and its opposite ; the orthodox party member is nonetheless able to resolve these contradictions through the disciplined use of doublethink . Room 101 ( edit ) `` Room 101 '' redirects here . For other uses , see Room 101 ( disambiguation ) . Room 101 , introduced in the climax of the novel , is the basement torture chamber in the Ministry of Love , in which the Party attempts to subject a prisoner to his or her own worst nightmare , fear or phobia , with the object of breaking down their resistance . You asked me once , what was in Room 101 . I told you that you knew the answer already . Everyone knows it . The thing that is in Room 101 is the worst thing in the world . -- O'Brien , Part III , Chapter V Such is the purported omniscience of the state in the society of Nineteen Eighty - Four that even a citizen 's nightmares are known to the Party . The nightmare , and therefore the threatened punishment , of the protagonist Winston Smith is to be attacked by rats . This is manifested in Room 101 by confronting Smith with a wire cage that contains two large rats . The front of the cage is shaped so that it can fit over a person 's face . A trap - door is then opened , allowing the rats to devour the victim 's face . This cage is fitted over Smith 's face , but he saves himself by begging the authorities to let his lover , Julia , suffer this torture instead of him . The threatened torture , and what Winston does to escape it , breaks his last promise to himself and to Julia : never to betray her . ( Even though he had confessed to their actions , he still loved her until this point . ) The book suggests that Julia is likewise subjected to her own worst fear ( although it is not revealed what that fear is ) , and when she and Winston later meet in a park , he notices a scar on her forehead . The intent of threatening Winston with the rats was to force him into betraying the only person he loved and therefore to break his spirit . Orwell named Room 101 after a conference room at Broadcasting House where he used to sit through tedious meetings . When the original room 101 at the BBC was due to be demolished , a plaster cast of it was made by artist Rachel Whiteread and displayed in the cast courts of the Victoria and Albert Museum from November 2003 until June 2004 . Ministry of Peace ( edit ) The Ministry of Peace ( Newspeak : Minipax ) serves as the war ministry of Oceania 's government , and is in charge of the armed forces , mostly the navy and army . The Ministry of Peace may be the most vital organ of Oceania , seeing as the nation is supposedly at an ongoing genocidal war with either Eurasia or Eastasia and requires the right amount of force not to win the war , but keep it in a state of equilibrium . As explained in Emmanuel Goldstein 's book , The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism , the Ministry of Peace revolves around the principle of perpetual war . Perpetual war uses up all surplus resources , keeping most citizens in lives of constant hardship -- and thus preventing them from learning enough to comprehend the true nature of their society . Perpetual warfare also `` helps preserve the special mental atmosphere that a hierarchical society needs . '' Since that means the balance of the country rests in the war , the Ministry of Peace is in charge of fighting the war ( mostly centered around Africa and India ) , but making sure to never tip the scales , in case the war should become one - sided . Oceanic telescreens usually broadcast news reports about how Oceania is continually winning every battle it fights , though these reports have little to no credibility . As with all the other Nineteen Eighty - Four ministries , the Ministry of Peace is named the exact opposite of what it does , since the Ministry of Peace is in charge of maintaining a state of war . The meaning of peace has been equated with the meaning of war in the slogan of the party , `` War is Peace '' . Like the names of other ministries , it also has a literal application . Perpetual war is what keeps the `` peace '' ( the status quo ) in Oceania and the balance of power in the world . Ministry of Plenty ( edit ) The Ministry of Plenty ( Newspeak : Miniplenty ) is in control of Oceania 's planned economy . It oversees rationing of food , supplies , and goods . As told in Goldstein 's book , the economy of Oceania is very important , and it 's necessary to have the public continually create useless and synthetic supplies or weapons for use in the war , while they have no access to the means of production . This is the central theme of Oceania 's idea that a poor , ignorant populace is easier to rule over than a wealthy , well - informed one . Telescreens often make reports on how Big Brother has been able to increase economic production , even when production has actually gone down ( see § Ministry of Truth ) . The Ministry hands out statistics which are `` nonsense '' . When Winston is adjusting some Ministry of Plenty 's figures , he explains this : But actually , he thought as he readjusted the Ministry of Plenty 's figures , it was not even forgery . It was merely the substitution of one piece of nonsense for another . Most of the material that you were dealing with had no connection with anything in the real world , not even the kind of connection that is contained in a direct lie . Statistics were just as much a fantasy in their original version as in their rectified version . A great deal of time you were expected to make them up out of your head . Like the other ministries , the Ministry of Plenty seems to be entirely misnamed , since it is , in fact , responsible for maintaining a state of perpetual poverty , scarcity and financial shortages . However , the name is also apt , because , along with the Ministry of Truth , the Ministry of Plenty 's other purpose is to convince the populace that they are living in a state of perpetual prosperity . Orwell made a similar reference to the Ministry of Plenty in his allegorical work Animal Farm when , in the midst of a blight upon the farm , Napoleon the pig orders the silo to be filled with sand , then to place a thin sprinkling of grain on top , which fools human visitors into being dazzled about Napoleon 's boasting of the farm 's superior economy . A department of the Ministry of Plenty is charged with organizing state lotteries . These are very popular among the proles , who buy tickets and hope to win the big prizes -- a completely vain hope as the big prizes are in fact not awarded at all , the Ministry of Truth participating in the scam and publishing every week the names of non-existent big winners . In the Michael Radford film adaptation , the ministry is renamed the Ministry of Production , or MiniProd . Ministry of Truth ( edit ) Senate House , London , where Orwell 's wife worked at the Ministry of Information , was his model for the Ministry of Truth The Ministry of Truth ( Newspeak : Minitrue ) is the ministry of propaganda . As with the other ministries in the novel , the name Ministry of Truth is a misnomer because in reality it serves the opposite : it is responsible for any necessary falsification of historical events . As well as administering truth , the ministry spreads a new language amongst the populace called Newspeak , in which , for example , `` truth '' is understood to mean statements like 2 + 2 = 5 when the situation warrants . In keeping with the concept of doublethink , the ministry is thus aptly named in that it creates / manufactures `` truth '' in the Newspeak sense of the word . The book describes the doctoring of historical records to show a government - approved version of events . Description ( edit ) Winston Smith , the main character of Nineteen Eighty - Four , works at the Ministry of Truth . It is an enormous pyramidal structure of glittering white concrete rising 300 metres ( 980 ft ) into the air , containing over 3000 rooms above ground . On the outside wall are the three slogans of the Party : `` WAR IS PEACE , '' `` FREEDOM IS SLAVERY , '' `` IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH . '' There is also a large part underground , probably containing huge incinerators where documents are destroyed after they are put down memory holes . For his description , Orwell was inspired by the Senate House at the University of London . Role in information ( edit ) The Ministry of Truth is involved with news media , entertainment , the fine arts and educational books . Its purpose is to rewrite history to change the facts to fit Party doctrine for propaganda effect . For example , if Big Brother makes a prediction that turns out to be wrong , the employees of the Ministry of Truth correct the record to make it accurate . This is the `` how '' of the Ministry of Truth 's existence . Within the novel , Orwell elaborates that the deeper reason for its existence , the `` why '' , is to maintain the illusion that the Party is absolute . It can not ever seem to change its mind ( if , for instance , they perform one of their constant changes regarding enemies during war ) or make a mistake ( firing an official or making a grossly misjudged supply prediction ) , for that would imply weakness and to maintain power the Party must seem eternally right and strong . Minitrue plays a role as the news media by changing history , and changing the words in articles about events current and past , so that Big Brother and his government are always seen in a good light and can never do any wrong . The content is more propaganda than actual news . Departments ( edit ) The following are the sections or departments of the ministry mentioned in the text : Records Department ( Recdep in Newspeak ) Fiction Department ( Ficdep ) Tele - programmes Department ( Teledep ) Pornography section -- for Prole consumption only ( Pornosec ) Cultural impact ( edit ) The novel 's popularity has resulted in the term `` Room 101 '' being used to represent a place where unpleasant things are done . According to Anna Funder 's book Stasiland , Erich Mielke , the last Minister of State Security ( Stasi ) of East Germany , had the floors of the Stasi headquarters renumbered so that his second floor office would be number 101 . In the BBC comedy television series Room 101 , the concept is radically changed from that of Orwell , and celebrities are invited to discuss their pet hates and persuade the host to consign them to oblivion , as metaphorically represented by the idea of Room 101 . In the 2005 series of Big Brother ( UK ) , a housemate was required to enter a Room 101 to complete tedious and unpleasant tasks , including sorting different colours of maggots . In fiction ( edit ) In The Ricky Gervais Show , Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant play a game called `` Room 102 '' , based on the concept of `` Room 101 '' , in which Karl Pilkington has to decide what things he dislikes enough to put in Room 102 . This would result , according to their game , in these things being erased from existence . The name `` Ministry of Peace '' , and shorthand `` Minipax '' , appear in the US science fiction TV series Babylon 5 . The Ministry of Peace first appears in the episode `` In the Shadow of Z'ha'dum '' . It is a sinister organisation , created to instill loyalty to the government of Earth and root out dissent ; one of its senior staff is a `` Mr Welles '' . In its role it more closely resembles the novel 's § Ministry of Love ( which is responsible for the Thought Police and the interrogation of dissidents ) than it does the Ministry of Peace depicted in Nineteen Eighty - Four . In The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen : Black Dossier , set in Britain after the fall of the Big Brother government , the Ministry of Love is actually MI5 and its physical location is given as the MI6 headquarters at Vauxhall Cross , noted by a young spy named Jimmy ( a thinly veiled James Bond ) . In the 2011 Doctor Who episode `` The God Complex '' , The Doctor and his companions find themselves in a hotel full of their own personal Room 101s , each with their greatest fear in it . One sketch on That Mitchell and Webb Sound involved the hapless residents of room 102 , the telescreen repair centre , who could not ignore the things happening in the next room . In the 2002 game The Elder Scrolls III : Morrowind there is a floating rock known as `` The Ministry of Truth '' . References ( edit ) Jump up ^ Orwell , George ( 1949 ) . Nineteen Eighty - Four .

The Warsaw Pact was the military complement to the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance ( CoMEcon ) , the regional economic organization for the socialist states of Central and Eastern Europe . The Warsaw Pact was created in reaction to the integration of West Germany into NATO in 1955 per the London and Paris Conferences of 1954 , but it is also considered to have been motivated by Soviet desires to maintain control over military forces in Central and Eastern Europe . The Warsaw Pact was established as a balance of power or counterweight to NATO ; there was no direct confrontation between them . Instead , the conflict was fought on an ideological basis and in proxy wars . Both NATO and the Warsaw Pact led to the expansion of military forces and their integration into the respective blocs . Its largest military engagement was the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia in August 1968 ( with the participation of all Pact nations except Albania , Romania and East Germany ) , which , in part , resulted in Albania withdrawing from the pact less than a month later . The Pact began to unravel in its entirety with the spread of the Revolutions of 1989 through the Eastern Bloc , beginning with the Solidarity movement in Poland and its electoral success in June 1989 . East Germany withdrew from the Pact following reunification with West Germany in 1990 . On 25 February 1991 , the Pact was declared at an end at a meeting of defence and foreign ministers from the six remaining member states in Hungary . The USSR itself was dissolved in December 1991 , although most of the former Soviet republics formed the Collective Security Treaty Organization shortly thereafter . Throughout the following 20 years , the seven Warsaw Pact countries outside the USSR each joined NATO ( East Germany through its reunification with West Germany ; and the Czech Republic and Slovakia as separate countries ) , as did the three Baltic states ( Estonia , Latvia and Lithuania ) that had been part of the Soviet Union .

In the Western Bloc , the Warsaw Treaty Organization of Friendship , Cooperation and Mutual Assistance is often called the Warsaw Pact military alliance -- abbreviated WAPA , Warpac and WP . Elsewhere , in the former member states , the Warsaw Treaty is known as : Albanian : Pakti i miqësisë , bashkëpunimit dhe i ndihmës së përbashkët Belarusian : Дагавор аб дружбе , супрацоўніцтве і ўзаемнай дапамозе Romanized Belarusian : Dagavor ab druzhe , supratsoŭnitstve i ŭzaemnaŭ dapamoze Bulgarian : Договор за дружба , сътрудничество и взаимопомощ Romanized Bulgarian : Dogovor za druzhba , satrudnichestvo i vzaimopomosht Czech : Smlouva o přátelství , spolupráci a vzájemné pomoci Slovak : Zmluva o priateľstve , spolupráci a vzájomnej pomoci German : Vertrag über Freundschaft , Zusammenarbeit und gegenseitigen Beistand Hungarian : Barátsági , együttműködési és kölcsönös segítségnyújtási szerződés Polish : Układ o przyjaźni , współpracy i pomocy wzajemnej Romanian : Tratatul de prietenie , cooperare și asistență mutuală Russian : Договор о дружбе , сотрудничестве и взаимной помощи Romanized Russian : Dogovor o druzhbe , sotrudnichestve i vzaimnoy pomoshchi Ukrainian : Договір про дружбу , співробітництво і взаємну допомогу Romanized Ukrainian : Dogovir pro druzhbu , spivrobitnitstvo i vzaêmnu dopomogu Structure ( edit ) The Warsaw Treaty 's organization was two-fold : the Political Consultative Committee handled political matters , and the Combined Command of Pact Armed Forces controlled the assigned multi-national forces , with headquarters in Warsaw , Poland . Furthermore , the Supreme Commander of the Unified Armed Forces of the Warsaw Treaty Organization which commanded and controlled all the military forces of the member countries was also a First Deputy Minister of Defence of the USSR , and the Chief of Combined Staff of the Unified Armed Forces of the Warsaw Treaty Organization was also a First Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the USSR . Therefore , although ostensibly an international collective security alliance , the USSR dominated the Warsaw Treaty armed forces . Strategy ( edit ) The strategy behind the formation of the Warsaw Pact was driven by the desire of the Soviet Union to dominate Central and Eastern Europe . The Soviets wanted to keep their part of Europe theirs and not let the Americans take it from them . This policy was driven by ideological and geostrategic reasons . Ideologically , the Soviet Union arrogated the right to define socialism and communism and act as the leader of the global socialist movement . A corollary to this idea was the necessity of intervention if a country appeared to be violating core socialist ideas and Communist Party functions , which was explicitly stated in the Brezhnev Doctrine . Geostrategic principles also drove the Soviet Union with the desire to create a buffer zone to prevent invasion of its territory by Western European powers . History ( edit ) Beginnings ( edit ) The Presidential Palace in Warsaw , Poland , where the Warsaw Pact was established and signed on 14 May 1955 Before the creation of the Warsaw Pact , Czechoslovak leadership , fearful of a rearmed Germany , sought to create a security pact with East Germany and Poland . These states protested strongly against the re-militarization of West Germany . The Warsaw Pact was primarily put in place as a consequence of the rearming of West Germany inside NATO . Soviet leaders , like many European countries on both sides of the Iron Curtain , feared Germany being once again a military power and a direct threat . The terrible consequences of German militarism remained a fresh memory among the Soviets and Eastern Europeans . As the Soviet Union already had bilateral treaties with all of its eastern satellites , the Pact has been long considered ' superfluous ' , and because of the rushed way in which it was conceived , NATO officials labeled it as a ' cardboard castle ' . Previously , in March 1954 , the USSR , fearing the restoration of German militarism in West Germany , requested admission to NATO . The Soviet request to join NATO arose in the aftermath of the Berlin Conference of January -- February 1954 . Soviet foreign minister Molotov made proposals to have Germany reunified and elections for a pan-German government , under conditions of withdrawal of the four powers ' armies and German neutrality , but all were refused by the other foreign ministers , Dulles ( USA ) , Eden ( UK ) and Bidault ( France ) . Proposals for the reunification of Germany were nothing new : earlier on 20 March 1952 , talks about a German reunification , initiated by the so - called ' Stalin Note ' , ended after the United Kingdom , France and the United States insisted that a unified Germany should not be neutral and should be free to join the European Defence Community and rearm . James Dunn ( USA ) , who met in Paris with Eden , Adenauer and Robert Schuman ( France ) , affirmed that `` the object should be to avoid discussion with the Russians and to press on the European Defense Community '' . According to John Gaddis `` there was little inclination in Western capitals to explore this offer '' from USSR . While historian Rolf Steininger asserts that Adenauer 's conviction that `` neutralization means sovietization '' was the main factor in the rejection of the Soviet proposals , Adenauer also feared that German unification might have resulted in the end of the CDU 's dominance in the West German Bundestag . NATO ( blue ) against the Warsaw Pact ( red ) combined forces in 1973 during the Cold War Consequently , Molotov , fearing that the EDC would be directed in the future against the USSR and `` seeking to prevent the formation of groups of European States directed against other European States '' , made a proposal for a General European Treaty on Collective Security in Europe `` open to all European States without regard as to their social systems '' which would have included the unified Germany ( thus making the EDC -- perceived by the USSR as a threat -- unusable ) . But Eden , Dulles and Bidault opposed the proposal . One month later , the proposed European Treaty was rejected not only by supporters of the EDC but also by Western opponents of the European Defence Community ( like French Gaullist leader Palewski ) who perceived it as `` unacceptable in its present form because it excludes the USA from participation in the collective security system in Europe '' . The Soviets then decided to make a new proposal to the governments of the USA , UK and France to accept the participation of the USA in the proposed General European Agreement . And considering that another argument deployed against the Soviet proposal was that it was perceived by Western powers as `` directed against the North Atlantic Pact and its liquidation '' , the Soviets decided to declare their `` readiness to examine jointly with other interested parties the question of the participation of the USSR in the North Atlantic bloc '' , specifying that `` the admittance of the USA into the General European Agreement should not be conditional on the three Western powers agreeing to the USSR joining the North Atlantic Pact '' . Warsaw Pact `` Big Seven '' threats displaying the equipment of the communist forces Again all proposals , including the request to join NATO , were rejected by the UK , US and French governments shortly after . Emblematic was the position of British General Hastings Ismay , a fierce supporter of NATO expansion . He opposed the request to join NATO made by the USSR in 1954 saying that `` the Soviet request to join NATO is like an unrepentant burglar requesting to join the police force '' . In April 1954 Adenauer made his first visit to the USA meeting Nixon , Eisenhower and Dulles . Ratification of EDC was delaying but the US representatives made it clear to Adenauer that EDC would have to become a part of NATO . Memories of the Nazi occupation were still strong , and the rearmament of Germany was feared by France too . On 30 August 1954 French Parliament rejected the EDC , thus ensuring its failure and blocking a major objective of US policy towards Europe : to associate Germany militarily with the West . The US Department of State started to elaborate alternatives : Germany would be invited to join NATO or , in the case of French obstructionism , strategies to circumvent a French veto would be implemented in order to obtain a German rearmament outside NATO . A typical Soviet military jeep UAZ - 469 , used by most countries of the Warsaw Pact On 23 October 1954 -- only nine years after Allies ( UK , USA and USSR ) defeated Nazi Germany ending World War II in Europe -- the admission of the Federal Republic of Germany to the North Atlantic Pact was finally decided . The incorporation of West Germany into the organization on 9 May 1955 was described as `` a decisive turning point in the history of our continent '' by Halvard Lange , Foreign Affairs Minister of Norway at the time . In November 1954 , the USSR requested a new European Security Treaty , in order to make a final attempt to not have a remilitarized West Germany potentially opposed to the Soviet Union , with no success . On 14 May 1955 , the USSR and other seven European countries `` reaffirming their desire for the establishment of a system of European collective security based on the participation of all European states irrespective of their social and political systems '' established the Warsaw Pact in response to the integration of the Federal Republic of Germany into NATO , declaring that : `` a remilitarized Western Germany and the integration of the latter in the North - Atlantic bloc ( ... ) increase the danger of another war and constitutes a threat to the national security of the peaceable states ; ( ... ) in these circumstances the peaceable European states must take the necessary measures to safeguard their security '' . One of the founding members , East Germany was allowed to re-arm by the Soviet Union and the National People 's Army was established as the armed forces of the country to counter the rearmament of West Germany and vice versa . Members ( edit ) Meeting of seven representatives of the Warsaw Pact countries in May 1987 . From left to right : Gustáv Husák , Todor Zhivkov , Erich Honecker , Mikhail Gorbachev , Nicolae Ceaușescu , Wojciech Jaruzelski and János Kádár The eight member countries of the Warsaw Pact pledged the mutual defence of any member who would be attacked . Relations among the treaty signatories were based upon mutual non-intervention in the internal affairs of the member countries , respect for national sovereignty , and political independence . However , almost all governments of those member states were indirectly controlled by the Soviet Union . The founding signatories to the Treaty of Friendship , Cooperation and Mutual Assistance consisted of the following communist governments : Albania ( withheld support in 1961 because of the Soviet - Albanian split , formally withdrew in 1968 ) Bulgaria Czechoslovakia East Germany ( withdrew on 2 October 1990 after dissolution of state ) Hungary Poland Romania Soviet Union Mongolia : In July 1963 the Mongolian People 's Republic asked to join the Warsaw Pact under Article 9 of the treaty . Due to the emerging Sino - Soviet split , Mongolia remained on observer status . The Soviet Government agreed to station troops in Mongolia in 1966 . During Cold War ( edit ) Main article : Cold War Soviet tanks on the streets of Prague during the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia , 1968 For 36 years , NATO and the Warsaw Pact never directly waged war against each other in Europe ; the United States and the Soviet Union and their respective allies implemented strategic policies aimed at the containment of each other in Europe , while working and fighting for influence within the wider Cold War on the international stage . These included the Korean War , Vietnam War , Bay of Pigs invasion , Dirty War , Cambodian -- Vietnamese War and the others . In 1956 , following the declaration of the Imre Nagy government of withdrawal of Hungary from the Warsaw Pact , Soviet troops entered the country and removed the government . Soviet forces crushed the nationwide revolt , leading to the death of an estimated 2,500 Hungarian citizens . The multi-national Communist armed forces ' sole joint action was the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia in August 1968 . All member countries , with the exception of the Socialist Republic of Romania and the People 's Republic of Albania , participated in the invasion . The German Democratic Republic provided only minimal support , however . End of the Cold War ( edit ) Beginning at the Cold War 's conclusion , in late 1989 , popular civil and political public discontent forced the Communist governments of the Warsaw Treaty countries from power , while independent national politics made feasible with the perestroika and glasnost induced institutional collapse of Communist government in the USSR . Between 1989 and 1991 , Communist governments were overthrown in Albania , Poland , Hungary , Czechoslovakia , East Germany , Romania , Bulgaria and the Soviet Union . As the last acts of the Cold War were playing out , several Warsaw Pact states ( Poland , Czechoslovakia and Hungary ) participated in the U.S. - led coalition effort to liberate Kuwait in the Gulf War . On 25 February 1991 , the Warsaw Pact was declared disbanded at a meeting of defence and foreign ministers from remaining Pact countries meeting in Hungary . On 1 July 1991 , in Prague , the Czechoslovak President Václav Havel formally ended the 1955 Warsaw Treaty Organization of Friendship , Cooperation and Mutual Assistance and so disestablished the Warsaw Treaty after 36 years of military alliance with the USSR . The USSR disestablished itself in December 1991 . Central and Eastern Europe after the Warsaw Treaty ( edit ) Expansion of NATO before and after the collapse of communism throughout Central and Eastern Europe On 12 March 1999 , the Czech Republic , Hungary and Poland joined NATO ; Bulgaria , Estonia , Latvia , Lithuania , Romania and Slovakia joined in March 2004 ; Albania joined on 1 April 2009 . Russia and some other post-USSR states joined the Collective Security Treaty Organization ( CSTO ) in 1992 , or the Shanghai Five in 1996 , which was renamed the Shanghai Cooperation Organization ( SCO ) after Uzbekistan 's addition in 2001 . In November 2005 , the Polish government opened its Warsaw Treaty archives to the Institute of National Remembrance , which published some 1,300 declassified documents in January 2006 . Yet the Polish government reserved publication of 100 documents , pending their military declassification . Eventually , 30 of the reserved 100 documents were published ; 70 remained secret and unpublished . Among the documents published is the Warsaw Treaty 's nuclear war plan , Seven Days to the River Rhine -- a short , swift counter-attack capturing Austria , Denmark , Germany and Netherlands east of River Rhine , using nuclear weapons , in self - defence , after a NATO first strike . The plan originated as a 1979 field training exercise war game and metamorphosed into official Warsaw Treaty battle doctrine , until the late 1980s -- which is why the Polish People 's Republic was a nuclear weapons base , first , to 178 , then , to 250 tactical - range rockets , though these numbers may differ . Doctrinally , as a Soviet - style ( offensive ) battle plan , Seven Days to the River Rhine gave commanders few defensive - war strategies for fighting NATO in Warsaw Treaty territory .

"On 14 May 1955, the USSR and other seven European countries \"reaffirming their desire for the establishment of a system of European collective security based on the participation of all European states irrespective of their social and political systems\"[48] established the Warsaw Pact in response to the integration of the Federal Republic of Germany into NATO,[3][5] declaring that: \"a remilitarized Western Germany and the integration of the latter in the North-Atlantic bloc [...] increase the danger of another war and constitutes a threat to the national security of the peaceable states; [...] in these circumstances the peaceable European states must take the necessary measures to safeguard their security\".[48]\n"

It is the world 's highest uninterrupted waterfall , with a height of 979 meters ( 3,212 ft ) and a plunge of 807 meters ( 2,648 ft ) . The waterfall drops over the edge of the Auyán - tepui mountain in the Canaima National Park ( Spanish : Parque Nacional Canaima ) , a UNESCO World Heritage site in the Gran Sabana region of Bolívar State . The height figure 979 metres ( 3,212 ft ) mostly consists of the main plunge but also includes about 400 metres ( 0.25 mi ) of sloped cascade and rapids below the drop and a 30 - metre ( 98 ft ) high plunge downstream of the talus rapids . The falls are along a fork of the Rio Kerepacupai Meru which flows into the Churun River , a tributary of the Carrao River , itself a tributary of the Orinoco River . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 1.1 Name 1.2 Exploration 2 Tourism 3 In popular media 4 References 5 External links History ( edit ) Name ( edit ) The waterfall has been known as the Angel Falls since the Mid-20th century ; they are named after Jimmie Angel , a US aviator , who was the first person to fly over the falls . Angel 's ashes were scattered over the falls on 2 July 1960 . The common Spanish name Salto Ángel derives from his surname . In 2009 , President Hugo Chávez announced his intention to change the name to the purported original indigenous Pemon term ( `` Kerepakupai Vená '' , meaning `` waterfall of the deepest place '' ) , on the grounds that the nation 's most famous landmark should bear an indigenous name . Explaining the name change , Chávez was reported to have said , `` This is ours , long before Angel ever arrived there ... this is indigenous property . '' However , he later said that he would not decree the change of name , but only was defending the use of Kerepakupai Vená . Partly clouded view of Auyán - tepui and Angel Falls ( centre ) from Isla Raton camp , taken during the end of the dry season Exploration ( edit ) Sir Walter Raleigh in his expedition to find the fabled city of El Dorado described what was possibly a tepuy ( table top mountain ) , and he is said to have been the first European to view Angel Falls , although these claims are considered far - fetched . Some historians state that the first European to visit the waterfall was Fernando de Berrío , a Spanish explorer and governor from the 16th and 17th centuries . Other sources state that the first westerner to see the waterfall was the also Spanish explorer Fèlix Cardona in 1927 . According to accounts of Venezuelan explorer Ernesto Sánchez La Cruz , he spotted the falls in 1912 , but he did not publicize his discovery . Cruz possibly saw the Montoya Falls in the Sierra Pacaraima region , which are more than 500 metres ( 1,600 ft ) tall . They were not known to the outside world until American aviator Jimmie Angel , following directions given by the explorer Fèlix Cardona who had seen the waterfall six years before , flew over them on 16 November 1933 on a flight while he was searching for a valuable ore bed . Returning on 9 October 1937 , Angel tried to land his Flamingo monoplane El Río Caroní atop Auyán - tepui , but the plane was damaged when the wheels sank into the marshy ground . Angel and his three companions , including his wife Marie , were forced to descend the tepui on foot . It took them 11 days to make their way back to civilization by the gradually sloping back side , but news of their adventure spread and the waterfall was named Angel Falls in his honor . The name of the waterfall -- `` Salto Angel '' -- was first published on a Venezuelan government map in December 1939 . Angel 's plane remained on top of the tepui for 33 years before being lifted out by helicopter . It was restored at the Aviation Museum in Maracay and now sits outdoors on the front of the airport at Ciudad Bolívar . The first recorded person of European descent to reach the base of the falls was Latvian explorer Aleksandrs Laime , also known as Alejandro Laime to the native Pemon tribe . He reached the falls alone in 1946 . He was the first to reach the upper side of falls in the late 1950s , by climbing on the back side where the slope is not vertical . He also reached Angel 's plane 18 years after the crash landing . On 18 November 1955 , Latvian independence day , he announced to Venezuelan newspaper El Nacional that this stream without any known local name should be called after a Latvian river , Gauja . The same year , this name was registered in the National Cartographic Institution of Venezuela . There are no convincing proofs that indigenous Pemon people had named the local streams , as Auyán - tepui was considered to be a dangerous place and was not visited by the indigenous people . However , lately the Pemon name Kerep is used as well . Laime was also the first to clear a trail that leads from the Churun River to the base of the falls . On the way is a viewpoint commonly used to capture the falls in photographs . It is named Mirador Laime ( `` Laime 's Viewpoint '' in Spanish ) in his honor . This trail is used now mostly for tourists , to lead them from the Isla Ratón camp to the small clearing . The official height of the falls was determined by a survey carried out by an expedition organized and financed by American journalist Ruth Robertson on 13 May 1949 . The first known attempt to climb the face of the cliff was made in 1968 during the wet season . It failed because of slippery rock . In 1969 , a second attempt was made during the dry season . This attempt was thwarted by lack of water and an overhang 120 metres ( 400 ft ) from the top . The first climb to the top of the cliff was completed on 13 January 1971 . The climbers required nine and a half days to ascend and one and a half days to rappel down . Tourism ( edit ) Angel Falls is one of Venezuela 's top tourist attractions , though a trip to the falls is a complicated affair . The falls are located in an isolated jungle . A flight from Puerto Ordaz or Ciudad Bolívar is required to reach Canaima camp , the starting point for river trips to the base of the falls . River trips generally take place from June to December , when the rivers are deep enough for use by the Pemon guides . During the dry season ( December to March ) there is less water seen than in the other months . The falls receive roughly 900,000 visitors per year . In popular media ( edit ) Angel Falls also inspired the setting of the Disney animated film Up ( 2009 ) although , in the film , the location was called Paradise Falls instead of Angel Falls . It also makes a small appearance in the Disney film Dinosaur , as well as the 1990 film Arachnophobia . Most recently , it makes an appearance in the 2015 film Point Break . Numerous documentaries have covered the falls , including Planet Earth .

It may also be considered a subcontinent of the Americas , which is the model used in nations that speak Romance languages . The reference to South America instead of other regions ( like Latin America or the Southern Cone ) has increased in the last decades due to changing geopolitical dynamics ( in particular , the rise of Brazil ) . It is bordered on the west by the Pacific Ocean and on the north and east by the Atlantic Ocean ; North America and the Caribbean Sea lie to the northwest . It includes twelve sovereign states ( Argentina , Bolivia , Brazil , Chile , Colombia , Ecuador , Guyana , Paraguay , Peru , Suriname , Uruguay , and Venezuela ) , a part of France ( French Guiana ) , and a non-sovereign area ( the Falkland Islands , a British Overseas Territory though this is disputed by Argentina ) . In addition to this , the ABC islands of the Kingdom of the Netherlands , Trinidad and Tobago , and Panama may also be considered part of South America . South America has an area of 17,840,000 square kilometers ( 6,890,000 sq mi ) . Its population as of 2005 has been estimated at more than 371,090,000 . South America ranks fourth in area ( after Asia , Africa , and North America ) and fifth in population ( after Asia , Africa , Europe , and North America ) . Brazil is by far the most populous South American country , with more than half of the continent 's population , followed by Colombia , Argentina , Venezuela and Peru . In recent decades Brazil has also concentrated half of the region 's GDP and has become a first regional power . Most of the population lives near the continent 's western or eastern coasts while the interior and the far south are sparsely populated . The geography of western South America is dominated by the Andes mountains ; in contrast , the eastern part contains both highland regions and large lowlands where rivers such as the Amazon , Orinoco , and Paraná flow . Most of the continent lies in the tropics . The continent 's cultural and ethnic outlook has its origin with the interaction of indigenous peoples with European conquerors and immigrants and , more locally , with African slaves . Given a long history of colonialism , the overwhelming majority of South Americans speak Portuguese or Spanish , and societies and states commonly reflect Western traditions .

The continent is generally delimited on the northwest by the Darién watershed along the Colombia -- Panama border , although some may consider the border instead to be the Panama Canal . Geopolitically and geographically all of Panama -- including the segment east of the Panama Canal in the isthmus -- is typically included in North America alone and among the countries of Central America . Almost all of mainland South America sits on the South American Plate . South America is home to the world 's highest uninterrupted waterfall , Angel Falls in Venezuela ; the highest single drop waterfall Kaieteur Falls in Guyana ; the largest river ( by volume ) , the Amazon River ; the longest mountain range , the Andes ( whose highest mountain is Aconcagua at 6,962 m ( 22,841 ft ) ) ; the driest non-polar place on earth , the Atacama Desert ; the largest rainforest , the Amazon Rainforest ; the highest capital city , La Paz , Bolivia ; the highest commercially navigable lake in the world , Lake Titicaca ; and , excluding research stations in Antarctica , the world 's southernmost permanently inhabited community , Puerto Toro , Chile . South America 's major mineral resources are gold , silver , copper , iron ore , tin , and petroleum . These resources found in South America have brought high income to its countries especially in times of war or of rapid economic growth by industrialized countries elsewhere . However , the concentration in producing one major export commodity often has hindered the development of diversified economies . The fluctuation in the price of commodities in the international markets has led historically to major highs and lows in the economies of South American states , often causing extreme political instability . This is leading to efforts to diversify production to drive away from staying as economies dedicated to one major export . South America is one of the most biodiverse continents on earth . South America is home to many interesting and unique species of animals including the llama , anaconda , piranha , jaguar , vicuña , and tapir . The Amazon rainforests possess high biodiversity , containing a major proportion of the Earth 's species . Brazil is the largest country in South America , encompassing around half of the continent 's land area and population . The remaining countries and territories are divided among three regions : The Andean States , the Guianas and the Southern Cone . Geography of South America Torres del Paine in Chile . Ausangate mountain in Peru . Porto de Galinhas beach in Brazil . Amazon rainforest , the richest and most megadiverse forest in the world .

Serra da Capivara National Park in Brazil . Monte Roraima between Brazil , Venezuela and Guiana . Outlying Islands ( edit ) Traditionally , South America also includes some of the nearby islands . Aruba , Bonaire , Curaçao , Trinidad , Tobago , and the federal dependencies of Venezuela sit on the northerly South American continental shelf and are often considered part of the continent . Geo - politically , the island states and overseas territories of the Caribbean are generally grouped as a part or subregion of North America , since they are more distant on the Caribbean Plate , even though San Andres and Providencia are politically part of Colombia and Aves Island is controlled by Venezuela . Other islands that are included with South America are the Galápagos Islands that belong to Ecuador and Easter Island ( in Oceania but belonging to Chile ) , Robinson Crusoe Island , Chiloé ( both Chilean ) and Tierra del Fuego ( split between Chile and Argentina ) . In the Atlantic , Brazil owns Fernando de Noronha , Trindade and Martim Vaz , and the Saint Peter and Saint Paul Archipelago , while the Falkland Islands are governed by the United Kingdom , whose sovereignty over the islands is disputed by Argentina . South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands may be associated with either South America or Antarctica . Islands of South America Falkland Islands , overseas of the United Kingdom .

Galápagos Islands off coast of Ecuador Climate ( edit ) Map of South America according to Köppen climate classification The distribution of the average temperatures in the region presents a constant regularity from the 30 ° of latitude south , when the isotherms tend , more and more , to be confused with the degrees of latitude . In temperate latitudes , winters are milder and summers warmer than in North America . Because its most extensive part of the continent is located in the equatorial zone , the region has more areas of equatorial plains than any other region . The average annual temperatures in the Amazon basin oscillate around 27 ° C , with low thermal amplitudes and high rainfall indices . Between the Maracaibo Lake and the mouth of the Orinoco , predominates an equatorial climate of the type Congolese , that also includes parts of the Brazilian territory . The east - central Brazilian plateau has a humid and warm tropical climate . The northern and eastern parts of the Argentine pampas have a humid subtropical climate with dry winters and humid summers of the Chinese type , while the western and eastern ranges have a subtropical climate of the dinaric type . At the highest points of the Andean region , climates are colder than the ones occurring at the highest point of the Norwegian fjords . In the Andean plateaus , the warm climate prevails , although it is tempered by the altitude , while in the coastal strip , there is an equatorial climate of the Guinean type . From this point until the north of the Chilean coast appear , successively , Mediterranean oceanic climate , temperate of the Breton type and , already in Tierra del Fuego , cold climate of the Siberian type . The distribution of rainfall is related to the regime of winds and air masses . In most of the tropical region east of the Andes , winds blowing from the northeast , east and southeast carry moisture from the Atlantic , causing abundant rainfall . In the Orinoco lhanos and in the Guianas plateau , the precipitations go from moderate to high . The Pacific coast of Colombia and northern Ecuador are rainy regions . The Atacama Desert , along this stretch of coast , is one of the driest regions in the world . The central and southern parts of Chile are subject to cyclones , and most of the Argentine Patagonia is desert . In the pampas of Argentina , Uruguay and South of Brazil the rainfall is moderate , with rains well distributed during the year . The moderately dry conditions of the Chaco oppose the intense rainfall of the eastern region of Paraguay . In the semiarid coast of the Brazilian Northeast the rains are linked to a monsoon regime . Important factors in the determination of climates are sea currents , such as the current Humboldt and Falklands . The equatorial current of the South Atlantic strikes the coast of the Northeast and there is divided into two others : the current of Brazil and a coastal current that flows to the northwest towards the Antilles , where there it moves towards northeast course thus forming the most Important and famous ocean current in the world , the Gulf Stream .

History ( edit ) Main article : History of South America Prehistory ( edit ) Further information : History of South America § Pre-Columbian era The prehistoric Cueva de las Manos , or Cave of the Hands , in Argentina South America is believed to have been joined with Africa from the late Paleozoic Era to the early Mesozoic Era , until the supercontinent Pangaea began to rift and break apart about 225 million years ago . Therefore , South America and Africa share similar fossils and rock layers . South America is thought to have been first inhabited by humans when people were crossing the Bering Land Bridge ( now the Bering Strait ) at least 15,000 years ago from the territory that is present - day Russia . They migrated south through North America , and eventually reached South America through the Isthmus of Panama . The first evidence for the existence of the human race in South America dates back to about 9000 BC , when squashes , chili peppers and beans began to be cultivated for food in the highlands of the Amazon Basin . Pottery evidence further suggests that manioc , which remains a staple food today , was being cultivated as early as 2000 BC . By 2000 BC , many agrarian communities had been settled throughout the Andes and the surrounding regions . Fishing became a widespread practice along the coast , helping establish fish as a primary source of food . Irrigation systems were also developed at this time , which aided in the rise of an agrarian society . South American cultures began domesticating llamas , vicuñas , guanacos , and alpacas in the highlands of the Andes circa 3500 BC . Besides their use as sources of meat and wool , these animals were used for transportation of goods . Pre-Columbian civilizations ( edit ) Main article : Pre-Columbian era § South America The Inca estate of Machu Picchu , Peru is one of the New Seven Wonders of the World . The rise of plant growing and the subsequent appearance of permanent human settlements allowed for the multiple and overlapping beginnings of civilizations in South America . One of the earliest known South American civilizations was at Norte Chico , on the central Peruvian coast . Though a pre-ceramic culture , the monumental architecture of Norte Chico is contemporaneous with the pyramids of Ancient Egypt . Norte Chico governing class established a trade network and developed agriculture then followed by Chavín by 900 BC , according to some estimates and archaeological finds . Artifacts were found at a site called Chavín de Huantar in modern Peru at an elevation of 3,177 meters . Chavín civilization spanned 900 BC to 300 BC . In the central coast of Peru , around the beginning of the 1st millennium AD , Moche ( 100 BC -- 700 AD , at the northern coast of Peru ) , Paracas and Nazca ( 400 BC -- 800 AD , Peru ) cultures flourished with centralized states with permanent militia improving agriculture through irrigation and new styles of ceramic art . At the Altiplano , Tiahuanaco or Tiwanaku ( 100 BC -- 1200 AD , Bolivia ) managed a large commercial network based on religion . Around 7th century , both Tiahuanaco and Wari or Huari Empire ( 600 -- 1200 , Central and northern Peru ) expanded its influence to all the Andean region , imposing the Huari urbanism and Tiahuanaco religious iconography . The Muisca were the main indigenous civilization in what is now Colombia . They established the Muisca Confederation of many clans , or cacicazgos , that had a free trade network among themselves . They were goldsmiths and farmers . Other important Pre-Columbian cultures include : the Cañaris ( in south central Ecuador ) , Chimú Empire ( 1300 -- 1470 , Peruvian northern coast ) , Chachapoyas , and the Aymaran kingdoms ( 1000 -- 1450 , Western Bolivia and southern Peru ) . Holding their capital at the great city of Cusco , the Inca civilization dominated the Andes region from 1438 to 1533 . Known as Tawantin suyu , and `` the land of the four regions , '' in Quechua , the Inca Empire was highly distinct and developed . Inca rule extended to nearly a hundred linguistic or ethnic communities , some 9 to 14 million people connected by a 25,000 kilometer road system . Cities were built with precise , unmatched stonework , constructed over many levels of mountain terrain . Terrace farming was a useful form of agriculture . The Mapuche in Central and Southern Chile resisted the European and Chilean settlers , waging the Arauco War for more than 300 years . European colonization ( edit ) Main articles : Spanish colonization of the Americas and Portuguese colonization of the Americas The Portuguese arrival in Brazil on 22 April 1500 was led by Pedro Álvares Cabral . The Inca -- Spanish confrontation in the Battle of Cajamarca left thousands of natives dead . The Dutch colonial houses located in the historic center of Paramaribo , Suriname . Illustration of the Demerara rebellion in British Guiana in 1823 . In 1494 , Portugal and Spain , the two great maritime European powers of that time , on the expectation of new lands being discovered in the west , signed the Treaty of Tordesillas , by which they agreed , with the support of the Pope , that all the land outside Europe should be an exclusive duopoly between the two countries . The treaty established an imaginary line along a north - south meridian 370 leagues west of the Cape Verde Islands , roughly 46 ° 37 ' W. In terms of the treaty , all land to the west of the line ( known to comprise most of the South American soil ) would belong to Spain , and all land to the east , to Portugal . As accurate measurements of longitude were impossible at that time , the line was not strictly enforced , resulting in a Portuguese expansion of Brazil across the meridian . Beginning in the 1530s , the people and natural resources of South America were repeatedly exploited by foreign conquistadors , first from Spain and later from Portugal . These competing colonial nations claimed the land and resources as their own and divided it in colonies . European infectious diseases ( smallpox , influenza , measles , and typhus ) -- to which the native populations had no immune resistance -- caused large - scale depopulation of the native population under Spanish control . Systems of forced labor , such as the haciendas and mining industry 's mit'a also contributed to the depopulation . After this , African slaves , who had developed immunities to these diseases , were quickly brought in to replace them . The Spaniards were committed to convert their native subjects to Christianity and were quick to purge any native cultural practices that hindered this end ; however , many initial attempts at this were only partially successful , as native groups simply blended Catholicism with their established beliefs and practices . Furthermore , the Spaniards brought their language to the degree they did with their religion , although the Roman Catholic Church 's evangelization in Quechua , Aymara , and Guaraní actually contributed to the continuous use of these native languages albeit only in the oral form . Eventually , the natives and the Spaniards interbred , forming a mestizo class . At the beginning , many mestizos of the Andean region were offspring of Amerindian mothers and Spanish fathers . After independence , most mestizos had native fathers and European or mestizo mothers . Many native artworks were considered pagan idols and destroyed by Spanish explorers ; this included many gold and silver sculptures and other artifacts found in South America , which were melted down before their transport to Spain or Portugal . Spaniards and Portuguese brought the western European architectural style to the continent , and helped to improve infrastructures like bridges , roads , and the sewer system of the cities they discovered or conquered . They also significantly increased economic and trade relations , not just between the old and new world but between the different South American regions and peoples . Finally , with the expansion of the Portuguese and Spanish languages , many cultures that were previously separated became united through that of Latin American . Guyana was first a Dutch , and then a British colony , though there was a brief period during the Napoleonic Wars when it was colonized by the French . The country was once partitioned into three parts , each being controlled by one of the colonial powers until the country was finally taken over fully by the British . Plaza of San Francisco in the Historic Center of Quito , Ecuador , is one of the largest , least - altered and best - preserved historic centers in the Americas .

Indigenous peoples of the Americas in various European colonies were forced to work in European plantations and mines ; along with African slaves who were also introduced in the proceeding centuries . The colonists were heavily dependent on indigenous labor during the initial phases of European settlement to maintain the subsistence economy , and natives were often captured by expeditions . The importation of African slaves began midway through the 16th century , but the enslavement of indigenous peoples continued well into the 17th and 18th centuries . The Atlantic slave trade brought African slaves primarily to South American colonies , beginning with the Portuguese since 1502 . The main destinations of this phase were the Caribbean colonies and Brazil , as European nations built up economically slave - dependent colonies in the New World . Nearly 40 % of all African slaves trafficked to the Americas went to Brazil . An estimated 4.9 million slaves from Africa came to Brazil during the period from 1501 to 1866 . While the Portuguese , English and French settlers enslaved mainly African blacks , the Spaniards became very disposed of the natives . In 1750 Portugal abolished native slavery in the colonies because they considered them unfit for labour and began to import even more African slaves . Slaves were brought to the mainland on so - called slave ships , under subhuman conditions and ill - treatment , and those who survived were sold into the slave markets . After independence , all South American countries maintained slavery for some time . The first South American country to abolish slavery was Chile in 1823 , Uruguay in 1830 , Bolivia in 1831 , Colombia and Ecuador in 1851 , Argentina in 1853 , Peru and Venezuela in 1854 , Paraguay in 1869 , and in 1888 Brazil was the last South American nation and the last country in western world to abolish slavery . Independence from Spain and Portugal ( edit ) Main articles : Spanish American wars of independence and Independence of Brazil The Guayaquil conference between José de San Martín and Simón Bolívar The proclamation of the Independence of Brazil by Prince Pedro on 7 September 1822 . Coronation of Pedro I as 1st Emperor of Brazil . Bernardo O'Higgins swears officially the independence of Chile . The European Peninsular War ( 1807 -- 1814 ) , a theater of the Napoleonic Wars , changed the political situation of both the Spanish and Portuguese colonies . First , Napoleon invaded Portugal , but the House of Braganza avoided capture by escaping to Brazil . Napoleon also captured King Ferdinand VII of Spain , and appointed his own brother instead . This appointment provoked severe popular resistance , which created Juntas to rule in the name of the captured king . Many cities in the Spanish colonies , however , considered themselves equally authorized to appoint local Juntas like those of Spain . This began the Spanish American wars of independence between the patriots , who promoted such autonomy , and the royalists , who supported Spanish authority over the Americas . The Juntas , in both Spain and the Americas , promoted the ideas of the Enlightenment . Five years after the beginning of the war , Ferdinand VII returned to the throne and began the Absolutist Restoration as the royalists got the upper hand in the conflict . The independence of South America was secured by Simón Bolívar ( Venezuela ) and José de San Martín ( Argentina ) , the two most important Libertadores . Bolívar led a great uprising in the north , then led his army southward towards Lima , the capital of the Viceroyalty of Peru . Meanwhile , San Martín led an army across the Andes Mountains , along with Chilean expatriates , and liberated Chile . He organized a fleet to reach Peru by sea , and sought the military support of various rebels from the Viceroyalty of Peru . The two armies finally met in Guayaquil , Ecuador , where they cornered the Royal Army of the Spanish Crown and forced its surrender . In the Portuguese Kingdom of Brazil , Dom Pedro I ( also Pedro IV of Portugal ) , son of the Portuguese King Dom João VI , proclaimed the independent Kingdom of Brazil in 1822 , which later became the Empire of Brazil . Despite the Portuguese loyalties of garrisons in Bahia , Cisplatina and Pará , independence was diplomatically accepted by the crown in Portugal in 1825 , on condition of a high compensation paid by Brazil mediatized by the United Kingdom . Nation - building and fragmentation ( edit ) The Thirty - Three Orientals proclaimed the independence of Cisplatine Province . Battle of Fanfa , battle scene in Southern Brazil during the Ragamuffin War The newly independent nations began a process of fragmentation , with several civil and international wars . However , it was not as strong as in Central America . Some countries created from provinces of larger countries stayed as such up to modern day ( such as Paraguay or Uruguay ) , while others were reconquered and reincorporated into their former countries ( such as the Republic of Entre Ríos and the Riograndense Republic ) . The first separatist attempt was in 1820 by the Argentine province of Entre Ríos by a caudillo . In spite of the `` Republic '' in its title , General Ramírez , its caudillo , never really intended to declare an independent Entre Rios . Rather , he was making a political statement in opposition to the monarchist and centralist ideas that back then permeated Buenos Aires politics . The `` country '' was reincorporated at the United Provinces in 1821 . In 1825 the Cisplatine Province declared its independence from the Empire of Brazil , which led the Cisplatine War between the imperials and the Argentine from the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata to control the region . Three years later , the United Kingdom intervened in question by proclaiming a tie and creating in the former Cisplatina a new independent country : The Oriental Republic of Uruguay which was the only separatist province that maintained its independence . Later in 1836 , while Brazil was experiencing the chaos of the regency , Rio Grande do Sul proclaimed its independence motivated by a tax crisis . This was the longest and most bloody separatist conflict in South America . With the anticipation of the coronation of Pedro II to the throne of Brazil , the country could stabilize and fight the separatists , which the province of Santa Catarina had joined in 1839 . The Conflict came to an end with the total defeat of both Riograndense Republic and Juliana Republic and their reincorporation as provinces in 1845 . The Peru -- Bolivian Confederation , a short - lived union of Peru and Bolivia , was blocked by Chile in the War of the Confederation ( 1836 -- 1839 ) and again during the War of the Pacific ( 1879 -- 1883 ) . Paraguay was virtually destroyed by Argentina and Brazil in the Paraguayan War . Wars and conflicts ( edit ) Imperial Brazilian Navy and army troops during the Siege of Paysandú , 1865 The Uruguayan Army at the Battle of Sauce , 1866 The Imperial Brazilian Army during a procession in Paraguay , 1868 The Chilean Army in the battlefield of the Battle of Chorrillos , 1883 A German submarine under attack by Brazilian Air Force PBY Catalina , 31 July 1943 South - American history in early 19th century was built almost exclusively on wars . Despite the Spanish American wars of independence and the Brazilian War of Independence , the new nations quickly began to suffer with internal conflicts and wars among themselves . In 1825 the proclamation of independence of Cisplatina led to the Cisplatine War between historical rivals the Empire of Brazil and the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata , Argentina 's predecessor . The result was a stalemate with the British ending in the independence of Uruguay . Soon after , another Brazilian province proclaimed its independence leading to the Ragamuffin War which Brazil won . Between 1836 and 1839 the War of the Confederation broke out between the short - lived Peru - Bolivian Confederation and Chile , with the support of the Argentine Confederation . The war was fought mostly in the actual territory of Peru and ended with a Confederate defeat and the dissolution of the Confederacy and annexation of many territories by Argentina . Meanwhile , the Argentine Civil Wars plagued Argentina since its independence . The conflict was mainly between those who defended the centralization of power in Buenos Aires and those who defended a confederation . During this period it can be said that `` there were two Argentines '' : the Argentine Confederation and the Argentine Republic . At the same time the political instability in Uruguay led to the Uruguayan Civil War among the main political factions of the country . All this instability in the platine region interfered with the goals of other countries such as Brazil , which was soon forced to take sides . In 1851 the Brazilian Empire , supporting the centralizing unitarians , and the uruguayn government invaded Argentina and deposed the caudillo , Juan Manuel Rosas , who ruled the confederation with an iron hand . Although the Platine War did not put an end to the political chaos and civil war in Argentina , it brought temporary peace to Uruguay where the Colorados faction won , supported by the Brazilian Empire , British Empire , French Empire and the Unitarian Party of Argentina . Peace lasted only a short time : in 1864 the Uruguayan factions faced each other again in the Uruguayan War . The Blancos supported by Paraguay started to attack Brazilian and Argentine farmers near the borders . The Empire made an initial attempt to settle the dispute between Blancos and Colorados without success . In 1864 , after a Brazilian ultimatum was refused , the imperial government declared that Brazil 's military would begin reprisals . Brazil declined to acknowledge a formal state of war , and , for most of its duration , the Uruguayan -- Brazilian armed conflict was an undeclared war which led to the deposition of the Blancos and the rise of the pro-Brazilian Colorados to power again . This angered the Paraguayan government , which even before the end of the war invaded Brazil , beginning the biggest and deadliest war in both South American and Latin American histories : the Paraguayan War . The Paraguayan War began when the Paraguayan dictator Francisco Solano López ordered the invasion of the Brazilian provinces of Mato Grosso and Rio Grande do Sul . His attempt to cross Argentinian territory without Argentinian approval led the pro-Brazilian Argentine government into the war . The pro-Brazilian Uruguayan government showed its support by sending troops . In 1865 the three countries signed the Treaty of the Triple Alliance against Paraguay . At the beginning of the war , the Paraguayans took the lead with several victories , until the Triple Alliance organized to repel the invaders and fight effectively . This was the second total war experience in the world after the American Civil War . It was deemed the greatest war effort in the history of all participating countries , taking almost 6 years and ending with the complete devastation of Paraguay . The country lost 40 % of its territory to Brazil and Argentina and lost 60 % of its population , including 90 % of the men . The dictator Lopez was killed in battle and a new government was instituted in alliance with Brazil , which maintained occupation forces in the country until 1876 . The last South American war in the 19th century was the War of the Pacific with Bolivia and Peru on one side and Chile on the other . In 1879 the war began with Chilean troops occupying Bolivian ports , followed by Bolivia declaring war on Chile which activated an alliance treaty with Peru . The Bolivians were completely defeated in 1880 and Lima was occupied in 1881 . The peace was signed with Peru in 1883 while a truce was signed with Bolivia in 1884 . Chile annexed territories of both countries leaving Bolivia with no path to the sea . In the new century , as wars became less violent and less frequent , Brazil entered into a small conflict with Bolivia for the possession of the Acre , which was acquired by Brazil in 1902 . In 1917 Brazil declared war on the Central Powers and join the allied side in the World War I , sending a small fleet to the Mediterranean Sea and some troops to be integrated with the British and French troops . Brazil was the only South American country that fought in WWI . Later in 1932 Colombia and Peru entered a short armed conflict for territory in the Amazon . In the same year Paraguay declared war on Bolivia for possession of the Chaco , in a conflict that ended three years later with Paraguay 's victory . Between 1941 and 1942 Peru and Ecuador fought decisively for territories claimed by both that were annexed by Peru , usurping Ecuador 's frontier with Brazil . Also in this period the first naval battle of World War II was fought on the continent , in the River Plate , between British forces and German submarines . The Germans still made numerous attacks on Brazilian ships on the coast , causing Brazil to declare war on the Axis powers in 1942 , being the only South American country to fight in this war ( and in both World Wars ) . Brazil sent naval and air forces to combat German and Italian submarines off the continent and throughout the South Atlantic , in addition to sending an expeditionary force to fight in the Italian Campaign . The last war to be fought on South American soil was the Falkland War between Argentina and the United Kingdom for possession of the islands of the same name . Argentina was defeated in 1982 . Rise and fall of military dictatorships ( edit ) Argentine soldiers during the Falklands War The Brazilian Minas Geraes class kindled an Argentine -- Brazilian -- Chilean naval arms race . Wars became less frequent in the 20th century , with Bolivia - Paraguay and Peru - Ecuador fighting the last inter-state wars . Early in the 20th century , the three wealthiest South American countries engaged in a vastly expensive naval arms race which was catalyzed by the introduction of a new warship type , the `` dreadnought '' . At one point , the Argentine government was spending a fifth of its entire yearly budget for just two dreadnoughts , a price that did not include later in - service costs , which for the Brazilian dreadnoughts was sixty percent of the initial purchase . The continent became a battlefield of the Cold War in the late 20th century . Some democratically elected governments of Argentina , Brazil , Chile , Uruguay and Paraguay were overthrown or displaced by military dictatorships in the 1960s and 1970s . To curtail opposition , their governments detained tens of thousands of political prisoners , many of whom were tortured and / or killed on inter-state collaboration . Economically , they began a transition to neoliberal economic policies . They placed their own actions within the US Cold War doctrine of `` National Security '' against internal subversion . Throughout the 1980s and 1990s , Peru suffered from an internal conflict . Argentina and Britain fought the Falklands War in 1982 . Colombia has had an ongoing , though diminished internal conflict , which started in 1964 with the creation of Marxist guerrillas ( FARC - EP ) and then involved several illegal armed groups of leftist - leaning ideology as well as the private armies of powerful drug lords . Many of these are now defunct , and only a small portion of the ELN remains , along with the stronger , though also greatly reduced , FARC . These leftist groups smuggle narcotics out of Colombia to fund their operations , while also using kidnapping , bombings , land mines and assassinations as weapons against both elected and non-elected citizens . Presidents of UNASUR member states at the Second Brasília Summit on 23 May 2008 . Revolutionary movements and right - wing military dictatorships became common after World War II , but since the 1980s , a wave of democratization passed through the continent , and democratic rule is widespread now . Nonetheless , allegations of corruption are still very common , and several countries have developed crises which have forced the resignation of their governments , although , on most occasions , regular civilian succession has continued . International indebtedness turned into a severe problem in the late 1980s , and some countries , despite having strong democracies , have not yet developed political institutions capable of handling such crises without resorting to unorthodox economic policies , as most recently illustrated by Argentina 's default in the early 21st century . The last twenty years have seen an increased push towards regional integration , with the creation of uniquely South American institutions such as the Andean Community , Mercosur and Unasur . Notably , starting with the election of Hugo Chávez in Venezuela in 1998 , the region experienced what has been termed a pink tide -- the election of several leftist and center - left administrations to most countries of the area , except for the Guianas and Colombia .

Brazil was the only exception , being a constitutional monarchy for its first 67 years of independence , until a coup d'ètat proclaimed a republic . In late 19th century , the most democratic countries were Brazil , Chile , Argentina and Uruguay . In the interwar period , nationalism grew stronger on the continent , influenced by countries like Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy . A series of authoritarian rules broke out in South American countries with views bringing them closer to the Axis Powers , like Vargas 's Brazil or Perón 's Argentina . In the late 20th century , during the Cold War , many countries became military dictatorships under American tutelage in attempts to avoid the influence of the Soviet Union . After the fall of the authoritarian regimes , these countries became democratic republics . During the first decade of the 21st century , South American governments have drifted to the political left , with leftist leaders being elected in Chile , Uruguay , Brazil , Argentina , Ecuador , Bolivia , Paraguay , Peru and Venezuela . Most South American countries are making increasing use of protectionist policies , helping local development . All South American countries are presidential republics with the exceptions of Peru , which is a semi-presidential republic , and Suriname , a parliamentary republic . French Guiana is a French overseas department , while the Falkland Islands and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands are British colonies . It is currently the only inhabited continent in the world without monarchies ; the Empire of Brazil existed during the 19th century and there was an unsuccessful attempt to establish a Kingdom of Araucanía and Patagonia in southern Argentina and Chile . Also in the twentieth century , Suriname was established as a constituent kingdom of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and Guyana remained as a Commonwealth Realm for 4 years after its independence . Recently , an intergovernmental entity has been formed which aims to merge the two existing customs unions : Mercosur and the Andean Community , thus forming the third - largest trade bloc in the world . This new political organization , known as Union of South American Nations , seeks to establish free movement of people , economic development , a common defense policy and the elimination of tariffs . Demographics ( edit ) Satellite view of South America at night from NASA . South America has 412 million inhabitants and a rate of population growth of about 0.6 % per year . There are several areas of sparse demographics such as tropical forests , the Atacama Desert and the icy portions of Patagonia . On the other hand , the continent presents regions of high population density , such as the great urban centers . The population is formed by descendants of Europeans ( mainly Spaniards , Portuguese and Italians ) , Africans and indigenous peoples . There is a high percentage of mestizos that vary greatly in composition by place . There is also a minor population of Asians , specially in Brazil . The two main languages are by far Spanish and Portuguese , followed by French , English and Dutch in smaller numbers . Economically , Brazil , Argentina and Chile are the wealthiest and most developed nations in the continent . Language ( edit ) Languages in South America Spanish and Portuguese are the most spoken languages in South America , with approximately 200 million speakers each . Spanish is the official language of most countries , along with other native languages in some countries . Portuguese is the official language of Brazil . Dutch is the official language of Suriname ; English is the official language of Guyana , although there are at least twelve other languages spoken in the country , including Portuguese , Chinese , Hindustani and several native languages . English is also spoken in the Falkland Islands . French is the official language of French Guiana and the second language in Amapá , Brazil . Indigenous languages of South America include Quechua in Peru , Bolivia , Ecuador , Argentina , Chile and Colombia ; Wayuunaiki in northern Colombia ( La Guajira ) and northwestern Venezuela ( Zulia ) ; Guaraní in Paraguay and , to a much lesser extent , in Bolivia ; Aymara in Bolivia , Peru , and less often in Chile ; and Mapudungun is spoken in certain pockets of southern Chile and , more rarely , Argentina . At least three South American indigenous languages ( Quechua , Aymara , and Guarani ) are recognized along with Spanish as national languages . Other languages found in South America include Hindustani and Javanese in Suriname ; Italian in Argentina , Brazil , Uruguay , Venezuela and Chile ; and German in certain pockets of Argentina , Brazil , and Chile . German is also spoken in many regions of the southern states of Brazil , Riograndenser Hunsrückisch being the most widely spoken German dialect in the country ; among other Germanic dialects , a Brazilian form of East Pomeranian is also well represented and is experiencing a revival . Welsh remains spoken and written in the historic towns of Trelew and Rawson in the Argentine Patagonia . There are also small clusters of Japanese - speakers in Brazil , Colombia and Peru . Arabic speakers , often of Lebanese , Syrian , or Palestinian descent , can be found in Arab communities in Argentina , Colombia , Brazil , Venezuela and in Paraguay . Religion ( edit ) Las Lajas Sanctuary , Ipiales , Colombia Main article : Religion in Latin America See also : History of the Jews in Latin America and the Caribbean , Buddhism in Brazil , and Islam in Argentina An estimated 90 % of South Americans are Christians ( 82 % Roman Catholic , 8 % other Christian denominations mainly traditional Protestants and Evangelicals but also Orthodox ) , accounting for ca . 19 % of Christians worldwide . Crypto - Jews or Marranos , conversos , and Anusim were an important part of colonial life in Latin America . Both Buenos Aires , Argentina and São Paulo , Brazil figure among the largest Jewish populations by urban area . Japanese Buddhism and Shinto - derived Japanese New Religions are common in Brazil and Peru . Korean Confucianism is especially found in Brazil while Chinese Buddhism and Chinese Confucianism have spread throughout the continent . Kardecist Spiritism can be found in several countries .

In Argentina , the European influence accounts for 65 % -- 79 % of the genetic background , Amerindian for 17 % -- 31 % and sub-Saharan African for 2 % -- 4 % . In Colombia , the sub-Saharan African genetic background varied from 1 % to 89 % , while the European genetic background varied from 20 % to 79 % , depending on the region . In Peru , European ancestries ranged from 1 % to 31 % , while the African contribution was only 1 % to 3 % . The Genographic Project determined the average Peruvian from Lima had about 28 % European ancestry , 68 % Native American , 2 % Asian ancestry and 2 % sub-Saharan African . Descendants of indigenous peoples , such as the Quechua and Aymara , or the Urarina of Amazonia make up the majority of the population in Bolivia ( 56 % ) and , per some sources , in Peru ( 44 % ) . In Ecuador , Amerindians are a large minority that comprises two - fifths of the population . The native European population is also a significant element in most other former Portuguese colonies . People who identify as of primarily or totally European descent , or identify their phenotype as corresponding to such group , are more of a majority in Argentina , and Uruguay and are about half of the population of Chile ( 52.7 % ) and Brazil ( 48.43 % ) . In Venezuela , according to the national census 42 % of the population is primarily native Spanish , Italian and Portuguese descendants . In Colombia , people who identify as European descendant are about 37 % . In Peru , European descendants are the third group in number ( 15 % ) . Mestizos ( mixed European and Amerindian ) are the largest ethnic group in Paraguay , Venezuela , Colombia and Ecuador and the second group in Peru . South America is also home to one of the largest populations of Africans . This group is significantly present in Brazil , Colombia , Guyana , Suriname , French Guiana , Venezuela and Ecuador . Brazil followed by Peru have the largest Japanese , Korean and Chinese communities in South America . East Indians form the largest ethnic group in Guyana and Suriname .

The second largest country is Colombia with a population of 49,034,411 . Argentina is the third most populous country with 43,417,000 . While Brazil , Argentina , and Colombia maintain the largest populations , large city populations are not restricted to those nations . The largest cities in South America , by far , are São Paulo , Bogotá , and Lima . These cities are the only cities on the continent to exceed eight million , and two of four in the Americas . Next in size are Rio de Janeiro , Santiago , Caracas , Buenos Aires and Salvador . Five of the top ten metropolitan areas are located in the Brazil . These metropolitan areas all have a population of above 4 million and include the São Paulo metropolitan area , Rio de Janeiro metropolitan area , and Belo Horizonte metropolitan area . Whilst the majority of the largest metropolitan areas are within Brazil , Argentina is host to the second largest metropolitan area by population in South America : the Buenos Aires metropolitan region is above 13 million inhabitants . South America has also been witness to the growth of megapolitan areas . In Brazil four megaregions exist including the Expanded Metropolitan Complex of São Paulo with more than 32 million inhabitants . The others are the Greater Rio , Greater Belo Horizonte and Greater Porto Alegre . Colombia also has four megaregions which comprise 72 % of its population , followed by Venezuela , Argentina and Peru which are also homes of megaregions .

Vineyard in Luján de Cuyo , province of Mendoza , Argentina South America relies less on the export of both manufactured goods and natural resources than the world average ; merchandise exports from the continent were 16 % of GDP on an exchange rate basis , compared to 25 % for the world as a whole . Brazil ( the seventh largest economy in the world and the largest in South America ) leads in terms of merchandise exports at $251 billion , followed by Venezuela at $93 billion , Chile at $86 billion , and Argentina at $84 billion . Since 1930 , the continent has experienced remarkable growth and diversification in most economic sectors . Most agricultural and livestock products are destined for the domestic market and local consumption . However , the export of agricultural products is essential for the balance of trade in most countries . The main agrarian crops are export crops , such as soy and wheat . The production of staple foods such as vegetables , corn or beans is large , but focused on domestic consumption . Livestock raising for meat exports is important in Argentina , Paraguay , Uruguay and Colombia . In tropical regions the most important crops are coffee , cocoa and bananas , mainly in Brazil , Colombia and Ecuador . Traditionally , the countries producing sugar for export are Peru , Guyana and Suriname , and in Brazil , sugar cane is also used to make ethanol . On the coast of Peru , northeast and south of Brazil , cotton is grown . Fifty percent of the South American surface is covered by forests , but timber industries are small and directed to domestic markets . In recent years , however , transnational companies have been settling in the Amazon to exploit noble timber destined for export . The Pacific coastal waters of South America are the most important for commercial fishing . The anchovy catch reaches thousands of tons , and tuna is also abundant ( Peru is a major exporter ) . The capture of crustaceans is remarkable , particularly in northeastern Brazil and Chile . Only Brazil and Argentina are part of the G20 ( industrial countries ) , while only Brazil is part of the G8 + 5 ( the most powerful and influential nations in the world ) . In the tourism sector , a series of negotiations began in 2005 to promote tourism and increase air connections within the region . Punta del Este , Florianópolis and Mar del Plata are among the most important resorts in South America . The most industrialized countries in South America are Brazil , Argentina , Chile , Colombia , Venezuela and Uruguay respectively . These countries alone account for more than 75 percent of the region 's economy and add up to a GDP of more than US $3.0 trillion . Industries in South America began to take on the economies of the region from the 1930s when the Great Depression in the United States and other countries of the world boosted industrial production in the continent . From that period the region left the agricultural side behind and began to achieve high rates of economic growth that remained until the early 1990s when they slowed due to political instabilities , economic crises and neoliberal policies . Since the end of the economic crisis in Brazil and Argentina that occurred in the period from 1998 to 2002 , which has led to economic recession , rising unemployment and falling population income , the industrial and service sectors have been recovering rapidly . Chile , Argentina and Brazil have recovered fastest , growing at an average of 5 % per year . All of South America after this period has been recovering and showing good signs of economic stability , with controlled inflation and exchange rates , continuous growth , a decrease in social inequality and unemployment -- factors that favor industry . The main industries are : electronics , textiles , food , automotive , metallurgy , aviation , naval , clothing , beverage , steel , tobacco , timber , chemical , among others . Exports reach almost US $400 billion annually , with Brazil accounting for half of this . The economic gap between the rich and poor in most South American nations is larger than on most other continents . The richest 10 % receive over 40 % of the nation 's income in Bolivia , Brazil , Chile , Colombia , and Paraguay , while the poorest 20 % receive 3 % or less in Bolivia , Brazil , and Colombia . This wide gap can be seen in many large South American cities where makeshift shacks and slums lie in the vicinity of skyscrapers and upper - class luxury apartments ; nearly one in nine South Americans live on less than $2 per day ( on a purchasing power parity basis ) .

Historical relics , architectural and natural wonders , a diverse range of foods and culture , vibrant and colorful cities , and stunning landscapes attract millions of tourists every year to South America . Some of the most visited places in the region are Iguazu Falls , Recife , Olinda , Machu Picchu , the Amazon rainforest , Rio de Janeiro , São Luís , Salvador , Fortaleza , Maceió , Buenos Aires , Florianópolis , San Ignacio Miní , Isla Margarita , Natal , Lima , São Paulo , Angel Falls , Brasília , Nazca Lines , Cuzco , Belo Horizonte , Lake Titicaca , Salar de Uyuni , Jesuit Missions of Chiquitos , Los Roques archipelago , Gran Sabana , Patagonia , Tayrona National Natural Park , Santa Marta , Bogotá , Medellín , Cartagena , Perito Moreno Glacier and the Galápagos Islands . In 2016 Brazil hosted the 2016 Summer Olympics . Iguazu Falls on the border between Argentina and Brazil , is one of the New Seven World Natural Wonders . Culture ( edit ) Tango show in Buenos Aires , typical argentine dance . Carmen Miranda , Portuguese Brazilian actress helped popularize samba internationally . Teatro Solis , Uruguay . National Library , Brazil . South Americans are culturally influenced by their indigenous peoples , the historic connection with the Iberian Peninsula and Africa , and waves of immigrants from around the globe . South American nations have a rich variety of music . Some of the most famous genres include vallenato and cumbia from Colombia , pasillo from Colombia and Ecuador , samba , bossa nova and música sertaneja from Brazil , and tango from Argentina and Uruguay . Also well known is the non-commercial folk genre Nueva Canción movement which was founded in Argentina and Chile and quickly spread to the rest of the Latin America . People on the Peruvian coast created the fine guitar and cajon duos or trios in the most mestizo ( mixed ) of South American rhythms such as the Marinera ( from Lima ) , the Tondero ( from Piura ) , the 19th century popular Creole Valse or Peruvian Valse , the soulful Arequipan Yaravi , and the early 20th century Paraguayan Guarania . In the late 20th century , Spanish rock emerged by young hipsters influenced by British pop and American rock . Brazil has a Portuguese - language pop rock industry as well a great variety of other music genres . The literature of South America has attracted considerable critical and popular acclaim , especially with the Latin American Boom of the 1960s and 1970s , and the rise of authors such as Mario Vargas Llosa , Gabriel García Márquez in novels and Jorge Luis Borges and Pablo Neruda in other genres . The Brazilians Machado de Assis and João Guimarães Rosa are widely regarded as the greatest Brazilian writers . Because of South America 's broad ethnic mix , South American cuisine has African , South American Indian , Asian , and European influences . Bahia , Brazil , is especially well known for its West African -- influenced cuisine . Argentines , Chileans , Uruguayans , Brazilians , Bolivians , and Venezuelans regularly consume wine . People in Argentina , Paraguay , Uruguay , southern Chile , Bolivia and Brazil drink mate , an herb which is brewed . The Paraguayan version , terere , differs from other forms of mate in that it is served cold . Pisco is a liquor distilled from grapes in Peru and Chile . Peruvian cuisine mixes elements from Chinese , Japanese , Spanish , Italian , African , Arab , Andean , and Amazonic food . Plastic arts ( edit ) Bird ( Singapore ) , sculpture of Fernando Botero The artist Oswaldo Guayasamín ( 1919 - 1999 ) from Ecuador , represented with his painting style the feeling of the peoples of Latin America highlighting social injustices in various parts of the world . The Colombian Fernando Botero ( 1932 ) is one of the greatest exponents of painting and sculpture that continues still active and has been able to develop a recognizable style of his own . For his part , the Venezuelan Carlos Cruz - Diez has contributed significantly to contemporary art , with the presence of works around the world . Currently several emerging South American artists are recognized by international art critics : Guillermo Lorca -- Chilean painter , Teddy Cobeña -- Ecuadorian sculptor and recipient of international sculpture award in France ) and Argentine artist Adrián Villar Rojas -- winner of the Zurich Museum Art Award among many others . Sport ( edit ) Main article : Sport in South America Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro , Brazil Panorama of the interior of the Maracanã stadium during the closing ceremony of the 2014 FIFA World Cup Atucha I Nuclear Power Plant , the first South - American nuclear power plant , in Argentina A wide range of sports are played in the continent of South America , with football ( a / k / a soccer ) being the most popular overall , while baseball is the most popular in Venezuela . Other sports include basketball , cycling , polo , volleyball , futsal , motorsports , rugby ( mostly in Argentina and Uruguay ) , handball , tennis , golf , field hockey and boxing . South America hosted its first Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro , Brazil in 2016 and will host the Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires , Argentina in 2018 . South America shares with Europe supremacy over the sport of football as all winners in FIFA World Cup history and all winning teams in the FIFA Club World Cup have come from these two continents . Brazil holds the record at the FIFA World Cup with five titles in total . Argentina and Uruguay have two titles each . So far four South American nations have hosted the tournament including the first edition in Uruguay ( 1930 ) . The other three were Brazil ( 1950 , 2014 ) , Chile ( 1962 ) , and Argentina ( 1978 ) . South America is home to the longest running international football tournament ; the Copa América , which has been regularly contested since 1916 . Uruguay won the Copa América a record 15 times , surpassing hosts Argentina in 2011 to reach 15 titles ( they were previously equal at 14 titles each during the 2011 Copa América ) . Also , in South America , a multi-sport event , the South American Games , are held every four years . The first edition was held in La Paz in 1978 and the most recent took place in Santiago in 2014 . Infrastructure ( edit ) Energy ( edit ) Due to the diversity of topography and pluviometric precipitation conditions , the region 's water resources vary enormously in different areas . In the Andes , navigation possibilities are limited , except for the Magdalena River , Lake Titicaca and the lakes of the southern regions of Chile and Argentina . Irrigation is an important factor for agriculture from northwestern Peru to Patagonia . Less than 10 % of the known electrical potential of the Andes had been used until the mid-1960s . The Brazilian Highlands has a much higher hydroelectric potential than the Andean region and its possibilities of exploitation are greater due to the existence of several large rivers with high margins and the occurrence of great differences forming huge cataracts , such as those of Paulo Afonso , Iguaçu and others . The Amazon River system has about 13,000 km of waterways , but its possibilities for hydroelectric use are still unknown . Most of the continent 's energy is generated through hydroelectric power plants , but there is also an important share of thermoelectric and wind energy . Brazil and Argentina are the only South American countries that generate nuclear power , each with two nuclear power plants . In 1991 these countries signed a peaceful nuclear cooperation agreement . Panoramic view of the Itaipu Dam , the largest of the world in energy production . Transport ( edit ) Stretch of the Pan-American Highway in Argentina The Port of Callao in Peru The La Paz cable car system in Bolivia is home to both the longest and highest urban cable car network in the world . South American transportation systems are still deficient , with low kilometric densities . The region has about 1,700,000 km of highways and 100,000 km of railways , which are concentrated in the coastal strip , and the interior is still devoid of communication . Only two railroads are continental : the Transandina , which connects Buenos Aires , in Argentina to Valparaíso , in Chile , and the Brazil - Bolivia Railroad , which makes it the connection between the port of Santos in Brazil and the city of Santa Cruz de la Sierra , in Bolivia . In addition , there is the Pan-American Highway , which crosses the Andean countries from north to south , although some stretches are unfinished . Two areas of greater density occur in the railway sector : the platinum network , which develops around the Platine region , largely belonging to Argentina , with more than 45,000 km in length ; And the Southeast Brazil network , which mainly serves the state of São Paulo , state of Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais . Brazil and Argentina also stand out in the road sector . In addition to the modern roads that extend through northern Argentina and south - east and south of Brazil , a vast road complex aims to link Brasilia , the federal capital , to the South , Southeast , Northeast and Northern regions of Brazil . The Port of Callao is the main port of Peru . South America has one of the largest bays of navigable inland waterways in the world , represented mainly by the Amazon basin , the Platine basin , the São Francisco and the Orinoco basins , Brazil having about 54,000 km navigable , while Argentina has 6,500 km and Venezuela , 1,200 km . The two main merchant fleets also belong to Brazil and Argentina . The following are those of Chile , Venezuela , Peru and Colombia . The largest ports in commercial movement are those of Buenos Aires , Santos , Rio de Janeiro , Bahía Blanca , Rosario , Valparaiso , Recife , Salvador , Montevideo , Paranaguá , Rio Grande , Fortaleza , Belém and Maracaibo . In South America , commercial aviation has a magnificent expansion field , which has one of the largest traffic density lines in the world , Rio de Janeiro - São Paulo , and large airports , such as Congonhas , São Paulo - Guarulhos International and Viracopos ( São Paulo ) , Rio de Janeiro International and Santos Dumont ( Rio de Janeiro ) , Ezeiza ( Buenos Aires ) , Confins International Airport ( Belo Horizonte ) , Curitiba International Airport ( Curitiba ) , Brasilia , Caracas , Montevideo , Lima , Bogotá , Recife , Salvador , Salgado Filho International Airport ( Porto Alegre ) , Fortaleza , Manaus and Belém . The main public transport in major cities is the bus . Many cities also have a diverse system of metro and subway trains . The Santiago subway is the largest network in South America , with 103 km , while the São Paulo subway is the largest in transportation , with more than 4.6 million passengers per day and was voted the best in the Americas . In Rio de Janeiro was installed the first railroad of the continent , in 1854 . Today the city has a vast and diversified system of metropolitan trains , integrated with buses and subway . Recently it was also inaugurated in the city a Light Rail System called VLT , a small electrical trams at low speed , while São Paulo inaugurated its monorail , the first of South America . In Brazil , an express bus system called Bus Rapid Transit ( BRT ) , which operates in several cities , has also been developed .

3008230988219650182 | Education in the Age of Enlightenment | Education in the Age of Enlightenment - wikipedia Education in the Age of Enlightenment Jump to : navigation , search Universities in northern Europe were more willing to accept the ideas of Enlightenment and were often greatly influenced by them . For instance the historical ensemble of the University of Tartu in Estonia , that was erected around that time , is now included into European Heritage Label list as an example of a university in the Age of Enlightenment . The Age of Enlightenment , dominated advanced thought in Europe from about the 1650s to the 1780s . It developed from a number of sources of `` new '' ideas , such as challenges to the dogma and authority of the Catholic Church and by increasing interest in the ideas of science , in scientific methods . In philosophy , it called into question traditional ways of thinking . The Enlightenment thinkers wanted the educational system to be modernized and play a more central role in the transmission of those ideas and ideals . The development of educational systems in Europe continued throughout the period of the Enlightenment and into the French Revolution . The improvements in the educational systems produced a larger reading public which resulted in increased demand for printed material from readers across a broader span of social classes with a wider range of interests . After 1800 , as the Enlightenment gave way to Romanticism , there was less emphasis on reason and challenge to authority and more support for emerging nationalism and compulsory school attendance .

As the scientific revolution and religious upheaval broke traditional views and ways of thinking of that time , religion and superstition were supplemented by reasoning and scientific facts . Philosophers such as John Locke proposed the idea that knowledge is obtained through sensation and reflection . This proposition led to Locke 's theory that everyone has the same capacity of sensation , and , therefore , education should not be restricted to a certain class or gender . Prior to the 17th and 18th century centuries , education and literacy were generally restricted to males who belonged to the nobility and the mercantile and professional classes . In England and France , `` idealized notions of domesticity , which emphasized the importance of preparing girls for motherhood and home duties , fuelled the expansion of schooling for girls . '' Educational ideas ( edit ) John Locke in English and Jean Jacques Rousseau in French authored influential works on education . Both emphasised the importance of shaping young minds early . By the late Enlightenment there was a rising demand for a more universal approach to education , particularly after the American and French Revolutions . Enlightenment children were taught to memorise facts through oral and graphic methods that originated during the Renaissance . The predominant educational psychology from the 1750s onward , especially in northern European countries was associationism ; the notion that the mind associates or dissociates ideas through repeated routines . It offered a practical theory of the mind that allowed teachers to transform longstanding forms of print and manuscript culture into effective graphic tools of learning for the lower and middle orders of society . Many of the leading universities associated with Enlightenment progressive principles were located in northern Europe , with the most renowned being the universities of Leiden , Göttingen , Halle , Montpellier , Uppsala and Edinburgh . These universities , especially Edinburgh , produced professors whose ideas had a significant impact on Britain 's North American colonies and , later , the American Republic . Within the natural sciences Edinburgh 's medical also led the way in chemistry , anatomy and pharmacology . However , in general the universities and schools of France and most of Europe were bastions of traditionalism and were not hospitable to the Enlightenment . In France the major exception was the medical university at Montpellier . Growth of the education system ( edit ) Literacy ( edit ) Education was once considered a privilege for only the upper class . However , during the 17th and 18th century centuries , `` education , literacy and learning '' were gradually provided to `` rich and poor alike '' . The literacy rate in Europe from the 17th century to the 18th century grew significantly . The definition of the term `` literacy '' in the 17th and 18th centuries is different from our current definition of literacy . Historians measured the literacy rate during the 17th and 18th century centuries by people 's ability to sign their names . However , this method of determining literacy did not reflect people 's ability to read . This affected the women 's apparent literacy rate prior to the Age of Enlightenment mainly because while most women living between the Dark Ages and the Age of Enlightenment could not write or sign their names , many could read , at least to some extent . The rate of literacy increased more rapidly in more populated areas and areas where there was mixture of religious schools . The literacy rate in England in the 1640s was around 30 percent for males , rising to 60 percent in the mid-18th century . In France , the rate of literacy in 1686 - 90 was around 29 percent for men and 14 percent for women , it increased to 48 percent for men and 27 percent for women . The increase in literacy rate was more likely due , at least in part to religious influence , since most of the schools and colleges were organized by clergy , missionaries , or other religious organizations . The reason which motivated religions to help to increase the literacy rate among the general public was because the bible was being printed in more languages and literacy was thought to be the key to understanding the word of God . `` By 1714 the proportion of women able to read had risen , very approximately , to 25 % , and it rose again to 40 % by 1750 . This increase was part of a general trend , fostered by the Reformation emphasis on reading the scripture and by the demand for literacy in an increasingly mercantile society . The group most affected was the growing professional and commercial class , and writing and arithmetic schools emerged to provide the training their sons required '' . Prussian system ( edit ) The Kingdom of Prussia introduced a modern public educational system designed to reach the entire population ; it was widely copied across Europe and the United States in the 19th century . The basic foundations of the Prussian primary education system were laid out by Frederick the Great with his `` Generallandschulreglement , '' a decree of 1763 , drafted by Johann Julius Hecker . It mandated the schooling of all young Prussians , both girls and boys , to be educated by mainly municipality funded schools from age 5 until age 13 or 14 . Prussia was among the first countries in the world to introduce a tax - funded and generally compulsory primary education . In comparison , compulsory schooling in France or Great Britain was not successfully enacted until the 1880s . The Prussian system consisted of an eight - year course of primary education , called Volksschule . It provided not only basic technical skills needed in a modernizing world ( as reading and writing ) , but also music ( singing ) , religious ( Christian ) education in close corporation with the churches and tried to impose a strict ethos of duty , soberness and discipline . Mathematic and calculus were not compulsory in the start and taking such courses was requiring additional payment by parents . Frederick the Great also formalized further educational stages , such as the Realschule and the highest stage , the gymnasium ( state funded secondary school ) , which was used as university - preparatory school . The final examination , Abitur , was introduced in 1788 , implemented in all Prussian secondary schools by 1812 , and extended to all of Germany in 1871 and is in place till the present . Passing the Abitur was a pre-requisite to entering the learned professions and higher echelons of civil service . Generations of Prussian and as well German teachers , which in the 18th century often had no formal education and in the very beginning often were former petty officers without pedagogic training , tried to gain more academic recognition , training and better pay and played an important role in various protest and reform movements . The Prussian system , after its modest beginnings , succeeded in reaching compulsory attendance , specific training for teachers , national testing for all students ( of all genders ) , national curriculum set for each grade and mandatory Kindergarten . In 1810 , Prussia introduced state certification requirements for teachers , which significantly raised the standard of teaching. < In the 18th century , states were paying more attention to their educational systems because they recognized that their subjects are more useful to the state if they are well educated . The conflicts between the crown and the church helped the expansion of the educational systems . In the eyes of the church and the state , universities and colleges were institutions that existed to maintain the dominance of one over the other . The downside of this conflict was that the freedom of thought on the subjects taught in these institutions was restricted . An educational institution was either a supporter of the monarchy or the religion , never both . Also , changes in educational criteria for higher income professions such as lawyers and physicians became stricter , e.g. , requirements to have certain educational experience before being licensed , helped to promote increases in the numbers of students attending universities and colleges . Print culture ( edit ) The explosion of the print culture , which started in the 15th century with Johannes Gutenberg 's printing press , was both a result of and a cause of the increase in literacy . The number of books published in the period of the Enlightenment increased dramatically due to the increase in demand for books , which resulted from the increased literacy rates and the declining cost and easier availability of books made possible by the printing press . There was a shift in the percentages of books printed in various categories during the 17th century . Religious books had comprised around 50 % of all books published in Paris at that time . However , the percentage of religious books dropped to 10 % by 1790 and there was an increase in the popularity of books such as almanacs . The scientific literature in French might have increased slightly but mostly it remained fairly constant throughout the 18th century . However , contemporary literature seems to have increased as the century progressed . Also , there was a change in the languages that books were printed in . Before the 18th century , a large percentage of the books were published in Latin . As time progressed , there was a decline in the percentage of books published in Latin . Concurrently , the percentage of books published in French , and other languages , increased throughout Europe . Of course the importance of print culture to education is not simply about counting publication figures . Students had to use the books that were given to them and they had to use pen and paper to organise and make sense of the information that they were learning . In this sense print culture was closely tied to manuscript culture , particularly the skills and routines associated with note - taking . Perhaps one of the most notable accomplishments of Enlightenment educational systems is that they taught students how to efficiently manage information on paper , both in school and then in university . Public libraries ( edit ) During the Enlightenment period , there were changes in the public cultural institutions , such as libraries and museums . The system of public libraries was a product of the Enlightenment . The public libraries were funded by the state and were accessible to everyone for free . Prior to the Enlightenment , libraries in Europe were restricted mostly to academies and the private collections of aristocrats and other wealthy individuals . With the beginning of state funded institutions , public libraries became places where the general public could study topics of interest and educate themselves . During the 18th century , the prices of books were generally too high for the average person , especially the most popular works such as encyclopedias . Therefore , the public libraries offered commoners a chance of reading literature and other works that previously could only be read by the wealthier classes . Intellectual exchange ( edit ) During the 18th century , the increase in social gathering places such as coffeehouses , clubs , academies and Masonic Lodges provided alternative places where people could read , learn and exchange ideas . In England , coffeehouses became public spaces where political , philosophical and scientific ideas were being discussed . The first coffeehouse in Britain was established in Oxford in 1650 and the number of coffeehouses expanded around Oxford . The coffeehouse was a place for people to congregate , to read , to learn and to debate with each other . Another name for the coffeehouse is the Penny University , because the coffeehouse had a reputation as a place of informal learning . `` The popularization of new ideas encouraged further changes in the habits and beliefs of many ordinary people . Reading clubs and coffeehouses allowed many urban artisans and businessmen to discuss the latest reform ideas . '' Even though the coffeehouses were generally accessible to everyone , most of the coffeehouses did not allow women to participate . Clubs , academies , and Lodges , although not entirely open to the public , established venues of intellectual exchange that functioned as de facto institutions of education . Education for girls ( edit ) During the 17th century , there were a number of schools dedicated to girls , but the cultural norm was for girls to be informally educated at home . During the 18th century , there was an increase in the number of girls being educated in schools . This was especially true for middle - class families whose rising financial status and social aspirations made providing an aristocratic style of education for their daughters both desirable and possible . In France , one of the most famous schools for girls was the Saint - Cyr , which was founded by Madame de Maintenon . Although the school Saint - Cyr was meant to educate women , it did not dare to challenge the traditional views towards women . Therefore , the fact that there were schools for women did not bring about a social change because the schools themselves did not challenge the social status quo . Women were excluded from learning subjects such as science and politics . In October , 1795 , France created `` a National Institute and Normal Schools that excluded women from the professional study of Philosophy '' In d'Épinay's recollection of her childhood education , she pointed out that girls were not taught much of anything and that a proper education was considered to be inappropriate for the female sex . The main issue about female education relates to the traditional view of women 's weakness being due to nature . However , there were people , such as John Locke and d'Épinay , who argue that women 's weakness was due to faulty education . Catherine the Great of Russia would become a patron of women 's education in her country throughout the 18th century . Heeding to the advice of Ivan Betskoy , an educational reformer and adviser on education , the Empress created separate boarding schools for both boys and girls . Her establishment of the Smolny Institute for Noble Girls in 1764 became the first higher learning institute for women in Europe ; the following year Catherine would also establish the Novodevichii Institute , an all - female institute for the daughters of Russian commoners . Just as Frederick the Great would oversee the establishment of compulsory education in Prussia , Catherine would contribute to the evolution of women 's education on the continent and allow for the further modernization of the Russian state during the Enlightenment .

One day , Ray , a boy she has a crush on , approaches her at school and asks her out . As Susie walks home through a cornfield , she runs into her neighbor , George Harvey , who coaxes her into his underground den . Inside , Susie becomes uncomfortable and attempts to leave ; when he grabs her , the scene fades until she is seen rushing past classmate Ruth Connors , apparently fleeing Harvey 's den . The Salmons become worried when Susie fails to return home from school . Her father , Jack , searches for her , while her mother , Abigail , waits for the police . In town , Susie sees Jack , but he does not respond to her when she calls . Susie runs home to find Harvey soaking in a bathtub . After seeing her bracelet hanging on the sink faucet near a bloody shaving razor , Susie realizes she never escaped the den and was murdered by Harvey . Screaming , she is pulled into the `` In - Between '' , that is neither Heaven nor Earth . From there , Susie watches over her loved ones , unable to let go despite the urging of her new afterlife friend , Holly . Investigating Susie 's disappearance with Detective Fenerman , Jack thinks Susie was murdered by someone she knew . He researches neighbors and comes to think Harvey is the killer . Fenerman is unable to find any evidence pinpointing Harvey as a suspect , as Harvey cleaned up . Susie 's sister , Lindsey , agrees with Jack 's suspicions , but their casework takes a toll on Abigail , and Jack invites Abigail 's alcoholic mother , Lynn , to move in with them . Feeling alienated from her husband , Abigail leaves for California . Susie , in her afterlife , learns that Harvey , who has now targeted Lindsey as his next victim , has murdered six other girls , including Holly , and that he stuffed Susie 's body into a safe in his basement . One night , Jack , carrying a bat , trails Harvey into the cornfield . However , Jack accidentally stumbles across Susie 's friend , Clarissa . Her boyfriend , who mistakenly thinks his girlfriend is being assaulted , nearly bludgeons Jack to death as Harvey watches from a hiding spot . As Jack recuperates , Lindsey breaks into Harvey 's house looking for evidence that he killed Susie . Upstairs , she finds a notebook containing a sketch of the den , a lock of Susie 's hair , and news articles about Susie 's disappearance . Harvey returns home and almost catches Lindsey in his house , but she escapes and rushes home to discover that her mother has returned . Not wishing to spoil her parents ' reunion , she gives the book to her grandmother , who contacts the police . Harvey has already fled , having seen Lindsey running from his home -- he takes the safe containing Susie 's remains with him . Susie 's afterlife begins expanding into a larger heaven , and she is greeted by Harvey 's other victims -- now showing nine , including Susie . She resists Holly 's urging to enter Heaven along with the others , claiming she has one final thing to do . Meanwhile , Susie 's classmates Ruth and Ray are present when Harvey drives up to dispose of the safe at a sinkhole dump site . Susie returns to Earth and enters Ruth 's body , causing Ruth to faint . Ray rushes to Ruth 's aid only to realize she has become Susie . They kiss , completing Susie 's last wish , and she returns to Heaven . Meanwhile Harvey dumps the safe in a sinkhole , leaving it to disappear in the muddy water as he drives away . Sometime later , Harvey meets a young woman outside a diner and offers her a ride , but she rejects him and leaves . A large icicle falls from an overhead branch , hitting Harvey on the shoulder . He loses his balance on the ice and falls backward over a cliff to his death . Time passes , and Susie sees that her family is healing , which Susie refers to as `` the lovely bones '' that grew around her absence . As the film concludes , Susie finally enters Heaven , telling the audience : `` My name is Salmon , like the fish ; first name Susie . I was 14 years old when I was murdered on December 6 , 1973 . I was here for a moment and then I was gone . I wish you all a long and happy life . '' Cast ( edit ) Saoirse Ronan as Susie Salmon , the main character and narrator . She is a 14 - year - old girl who is killed by her neighbor . Ronan was 13 years old at the time of her casting and filming . Ronan and her family were originally reluctant for Ronan to accept the role because of the film 's subject matter , but agreed after meeting with Jackson . Evelyn Lennon as Susie ( Age 3 ) Stanley Tucci as George Harvey , a serial killer who murders Susie . Tucci stated that he had researched his role by watching documentaries and reading books by criminal profiler John E. Douglas about catching serial killers . Tucci stated that his wife , Kate , had strongly urged him not to accept his role in the film because she felt , after reading the novel , that the subject matter was `` too harrowing . '' Mark Wahlberg as Jack Salmon , Susie 's father , who becomes obsessed with his daughter 's murder case . Wahlberg stated that his role in the film encouraged him to be a more cautious parent with his three children and to talk to them more about `` not talking to strangers . '' Before Wahlberg 's casting , Ryan Gosling was set to play the role but dropped out of the film in October 2007 , one month before filming . Gosling had gained weight and grown a beard for the role , but said , `` The age of the character versus my real age ( of twenty - six ) was always a concern of mine . Peter ( Jackson ) and I tried to make it work and ultimately it just did n't . I think the film is much better off with Mark Wahlberg in that role . '' Gosling later admitted that the real reason for his firing was that he had arrived for filming 60 lbs. overweight and sporting a beard , without having discussed the physical change with Jackson . Rachel Weisz as Abigail Salmon , Susie 's mother . After Susie 's murder , her mother despairs and abandons the family . Weisz stated that playing the character and the film and novel 's `` uplifting theme '' made her look at life as a `` treasure '' and the film gave her a `` positive feeling '' rather than a `` depressed '' one . Susan Sarandon as Grandma Lynn , Susie 's grandmother . Sarandon stated that her character is like a `` comic relief '' and that her character deals with the pain of Susie 's death by drinking , smoking and shooting guns . Rose McIver as Lindsey Salmon , Susie 's younger sister . She is the first to suspect that Harvey was involved in Susie 's death . Jackson cast McIver particularly because she was an unknown actress . Mclver stated that she had read and been a fan of the novel before having been cast in the film . Michael Imperioli as Detective Len Fenerman , the detective in charge of investigating Susie 's death . Christian Thomas Ashdale as Buckley Salmon , Susie 's younger brother . Reece Ritchie as Ray Singh , Susie 's love interest and friend who is strongly affected by Susie 's death . Charlie Saxton as Ronald Drake , one of the murder suspects . Amanda Michalka as Clarissa , Susie 's best friend . Michalka was better known as a musician prior to her casting . Carolyn Dando as Ruth Connors , a classmate of Susie 's . Jackson stated that , after he had searched all over the world for the role , he ultimately chose to cast Dando , a relatively unknown actress , who was working as a waitress before her casting . Nikki SooHoo as Denise `` Holly '' Le Ang , Susie 's best friend in Heaven and another of Harvey 's victims . Jake Abel as Brian Nelson Thomas McCarthy as Principal Caden Andrew James Allen as Samuel Heckler Production ( edit ) In May 2000 , Film4 Productions acquired feature film rights to Alice Sebold 's novel The Lovely Bones , when it was a half - written manuscript . Producer Aimee Peyronnet had sought to attract studio interest to the manuscript , and an insider informed Film4 's deputy head of production , Jim Wilson , of the project . The company attached Luc Besson and Peyronnet 's production company Seaside to the project , two years before the novel 's release . By February 2001 , Lynne Ramsay was hired to direct and write the film adaptation of the novel . In July 2002 , Channel 4 shut down Film4 , causing Hollywood studios and producers to pursue acquisition of feature film rights to The Lovely Bones , which had spent multiple weeks at the top of the New York Times Best Seller list . The film adaptation , which had been estimated at a budget of $15 million , remained with Channel 4 under its newly developed inhouse film unit , with Ramsay still contracted to write and direct . By October 2002 , Ramsay was writing the script with fellow screenwriter Liana Dognini , with filming planned for summer 2003 . Author Sebold was invited by the producers to provide input on the project . Ramsay , who had read the novel in manuscript prior to publication , said in 2012 that her adaptation departed from it significantly . The scenes with Susie in heaven would have been depicted purely as her father 's imagination . He would have become friends with Mr. Harvey , never suspecting him of having killed his daughter . `` I really did n't like the My Little Pony , she 's - in - heaven , everything 's - O.K. aspect '' , she told The New York Times in 2012 . In July 2003 , the studio DreamWorks negotiated a first look deal with producer Peyronnet , after DreamWorks co-founder Steven Spielberg expressed interest in the project . DreamWorks did not acquire the rights to the novel , and Ramsay was eventually detached from the project as , she says , FilmFour wanted a version more faithful to the novel . In April 2004 , producers Peter Jackson , Fran Walsh , and Philippa Boyens entered negotiations to develop the project . Jackson described the book as `` a wonderfully emotional and powerful story . Like all the best fantasy , it has a solid grounding in the real world . '' By January 2005 , Jackson and Walsh planned to independently purchase film rights and to seek studio financing after a script had been developed . The producers sought to begin adapting a spec script for The Lovely Bones in January 2006 , with the goal of script completion and budget estimation by the following May . Jackson explained he enjoyed the novel because he found it `` curiously optimistic '' and uplifting because of the narrator 's sense of humor , adding there was a difference between its tone and subject matter . He felt very few films dealt with the loss of a loved one . Jackson foresaw the most challenging element in the novel to adapt was the portrayal of Susie , the protagonist , in her heaven , and making it `` ethereal and emotional but not hokey . '' Saoirse Ronan explained Jackson chose to depict the afterlife as depending on Susie 's emotions . `` Whenever Susie feels happy , Heaven is sunny and there 's birds and everything . Whenever it 's not so great , it 's raining or she 's in the middle of an ocean . '' Jackson described the book 's description of `` heaven '' as being an `` In - Between '' rather than a true heaven and said he was not trying to paint a definitive picture of Heaven itself . `` ( W ) hen Jackson created Susie 's heaven , in a 1973 world , he went through the Partridge Family television show archives as a reference . '' `` ( I ) basically ( added ) more violence and suffering , ( the audience ) wanted far more violence ( ... ) They just were n't satisfied ( ... ) We got a lot of people telling us that they were disappointed with this death scene , as they wanted to see ( the character ) in agony and suffer a lot more , we had to create a whole suffering death scene just to give people the satisfaction they needed . '' -- Jackson to Reuters on re-shooting Harvey 's death scene , November 2009 A 120 - page draft of the script was written by September 2006 . In April 2007 , the script was completed by Jackson , Walsh and Boyens ; Jackson intended to direct . The three producers began seeking a studio partner to finance the film adaptation . Besides the major studios , smaller companies including United Artists were also contacted . New Line Cinema was excluded from negotiations because of Jackson 's legal dispute with the studio over royalties from his The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Jackson sought a beginning $65 million budget for The Lovely Bones , also requesting from studios what kind of promotional commitments and suggestions they would make for the film adaptation . By May , four studios remained interested in the project : DreamWorks , Warner Bros. , Sony , and Universal . The Lovely Bones was sold to DreamWorks for $70 million . Paramount Pictures received the rights to distribute the film worldwide . Production began in October 2007 in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania and New Zealand . Shooting in parts of Delaware , Chester and Montgomery counties , including Hatfield , Ridley Township , Phoenixville , Royersford , Malvern and East Fallowfield , lasted a few weeks , and most of the studio shooting was done in New Zealand . In December 2008 , Brian Eno signed on to compose the film 's score . Fran Walsh , a big fan of his work , suggested him to Jackson . Jackson had called Eno to request use of two of his early tracks to evoke atmosphere for the 1970s scenes in the film . When Eno asked if he could compose the whole score , Jackson was surprised , since he had heard Eno did not like working on films . For the film 's ending , Eno uncovered a demo he had done in 1973 and reunited with the vocalist to create a proper version for the film , commenting : `` That song from 1973 was finally finished in 2008 ! '' In November 2009 , Jackson stated that he re-shot new footage of Harvey 's death scene after test audiences said it was not violent enough and wanted to `` see more of Harvey in pain . '' Jackson said it was important to him that the movie receive a PG - 13 rating so that the film could appeal to the widest possible audience , despite the necessarily violent nature of some scenes . Release ( edit ) Strategy ( edit ) Jackson at 2009 Comic - Con film festival . At the festival Jackson discussed The Lovely Bones and screened a clip from it . The Lovely Bones was originally scheduled for release on March 13 , 2009 , but it was delayed to December 11 , 2009 , as the studio became interested in releasing the film for `` awards season , '' which gave Jackson an opportunity to make some effects shots larger in scope . The film then received a limited theater release on December 11 , 2009 , in the United States . The film was originally set to have a wider United States theater release on December 25 , 2009 ( Christmas Day ) , as part of a campaign to build its momentum into January 2010 . In early December it was confirmed that the United States release date had been pushed back by three weeks to January 15 , 2010 . Paramount and DreamWorks did not give a reason for the change of the release date . The film premiered in New Zealand on December 26 , 2009 , and was released in the United Kingdom on January 29 and in other countries in January 2010 . According to the Los Angeles Times , Paramount invested $70 million in production and an additional $85 million in worldwide marketing and distribution . In December 2009 , the Los Angeles Times described the marketing and promotion of The Lovely Bones as having been a `` heavy advertising campaign . '' In late July 2009 , as part of the promotion , Jackson talked about the film and screened a 4 ⁄ minute clip at the San Diego Comic - Con International film festival . As part of marketing for the film , in August 2009 , people were allowed to enter a contest to win a trip to Wellington , for the film 's New Zealand premiere on December 14 , 2009 . The offer included , if the winner lived outside of Wellington , one night 's accommodation and a voucher for flight or petrol to Wellington . A teaser trailer was released in August 2009 , days before the film 's official trailer . The official trailer debuted on the television series Entertainment Tonight and was released online shortly afterwards . In August 2009 , Jackson offered a `` behind - the - scenes look '' at the film and discussed elements ( mainly violence ) in the film 's plot line . The Los Angeles Times reported that Paramount had originally expected the film to appeal to a `` sophisticated , adult audience , '' but after poor revenue and average reviews , the studio decided to redirect the film to an audience in another age group . Surveys showed that the film was favored more by females aged 13 -- 20 than by any other demographic . Paramount began to screen the movie `` aggressively for high school - and college - age girls '' during its three - screen limited release . Box office ( edit ) On December 11 , 2009 , the film was released on three screens in Los Angeles and New York . As of January 4 , 2010 , the film had grossed over $389,000 in the US . Claudia Eller and Ben Fritz of the Los Angeles Times felt that it did poorly at the box office in the first few weeks of its release because of average reviews and negative word - of - mouth . During its opening - weekend release on three screens , it earned over $116,616 , an average of estimated $38,872 per - theater revenue . The film 's revenue placed it at thirtieth place on the box office chart . In the film 's second and third weeks of release , the film saw a decrease ; in the fourth week , it had a 54.3 - percent increase . When put into wide release on January 15 , 2010 , it grossed $17,005,133 that weekend , ranking number three at the domestic box office . By the end of its run , The Lovely Bones had made $44,114,232 domestically , and $49,507,108 overseas , for a worldwide total of $93,621,340 . Home media ( edit ) The film was released in the US on DVD and two - disc Blu - ray April 20 , 2010 and in the United Kingdom on June 11 , 2010 . Reception ( edit ) Critical reception ( edit ) The Lovely Bones received mixed reviews from critics , although Ronan and Tucci were praised for their performances . On review aggregate Rotten Tomatoes , the film has a rating of 32 % , based on 238 reviews , with an average rating of 5 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` It 's stuffed full of Peter Jackson 's typically dazzling imagery , but The Lovely Bones suffers from abrupt shifts between horrific violence and cloying sentimentality . '' Metacritic gave the film a score of 42 out of 100 , based on 36 critics , indicating `` mixed or average reviews '' . It is Peter Jackson 's lowest rated film to date . Ian Freer of Empire gave the film 4 / 5 stars . Freer emphasized the `` bold , daring original filmmaking , with arguably more emotional and intellectual meat to chew on than either the Rings trilogy or Kong . '' Freer noted that , like The Lord of the Rings , the film `` does a fantastic job with revered , complex source material '' and that , since it is `` as terrific on terra firma as it is audacious in its astral plane '' , it is `` doubtful '' that there would be a `` more imaginative '' and `` courageous film '' in 2010 . Richard Corliss of Time wrote that `` through ( Peter ) Jackson 's art '' and Ronan 's `` magic '' the `` obscenity of child murder has been invested with immense gravity and grace '' and `` like the story of Susie 's life after death , that 's a miracle . '' Peter Travers of Rolling Stone felt that the film was `` conveyed '' in a `` remarkable performance '' by Ronan and described Tucci as being `` magnificent as a man of uncontrollable impulses '' to `` help Jackson cut a path to a humanity that supersedes life and death . '' Travers praised Jackson for building `` jolting suspense . '' Despite praising the film , however , Travers noted that while the book `` never flinched , '' the film does , and while the `` business is being transacted '' by Jackson with a `` Lord of the Rings fantasy '' the film `` attunes himself to a family tragedy . '' Claudia Puig of USA Today gave the film 2 / 4 stars , remarking that while `` ( Peter ) Jackson gets the thriller scenes right '' , the `` conceit of Susie trapped in a DayGlo world between the one she left and her final resting place , imparting lessons on coping with death , feels preachy . '' Puig also described the film as having ' strike ' `` clashing tones '' that veer from `` lightheartedness to heavy - handedness . '' Puig also criticized the film 's computer - generated imagery , describing it as being `` cheesy '' and felt that it broke `` no ground . '' Kirt Honeycutt , of the Hollywood Reporter , described the film as telling `` a fundamentally different story '' which is `` one that is not without its tension , humor and compelling details '' , but that `` it 's also a simpler , more button - pushing tale that misses the joy and heartbreak of the original . '' Honeycutt also described Jackson as having transformed Sebold 's `` startling , unique novel about the aftermath of a terrible murder '' into a story that 's more `` focused on crime and punishment . '' `` ( Alice ) Sebold 's book would 've had a tough leap to the multiplex no matter who guided it . But ( Peter ) Jackson is too enamored with the idea of mixing heaven and the heebie - jeebies , so he 's made the skeevy equivalent of a Mitch Albom book with some pulp fiction pressed between its covers . '' Joe Neumaier , New York Daily News Stephanie Zacharek , of Salon.com , viewed the film as being `` an expensive - looking mess that fails to capture the mood , and the poetry , of its source material '' because `` good actors fighting a poorly conceived script , under the guidance of a director who can no longer make the distinction between imaginativeness and computer - generated effects . '' Todd McCarthy , of Variety , felt that Jackson had undermined the `` solid work from a good cast '' with `` show - offy celestial evocations '' that `` severely disrupt the emotional connections with the characters . '' McCarthy stated that he felt that the film , overall , was a `` significant artistic disappointment . '' Joe Neumaier , of New York Daily News , described Jackson as having `` siphoned out all the soulfulness '' that made the author 's `` combination thriller / afterlife fantasy a best - seller '' and that the film was `` a gumball - colored potboiler that 's more squalid than truly mournful . '' Neumaier also wrote that the film and Jackson `` wasted '' a `` good cast . '' Roger Ebert of Chicago Sun - Times gave the film 1.5 stars out of 4 , calling it `` deplorable '' , and criticizing the apparent message that Susie 's murder eventually made her happier . He was also critical of the film 's portrayal of Heaven , which he compared to `` happy gathering of new Facebook friends '' . However , he praised the acting , stating that `` this whole film is Jackson 's fault '' . According to the British Board of Film Classification ( BBFC ) , the rating given to The Lovely Bones received 24 objections , more than any other movie in 2010 . The BBFC report states , `` Many found the film to be a shocking and upsetting experience . The scene in which young Susie is entrapped by the killer , and the subsequent sequence in which the killer soaks in a bath after the murder , were compared by some complainants to scenes in ' 18 ' rated horror films . '' The BBFC rated the movie a 12A , and many complained that the movie was upsetting for a younger audience . Nevertheless , the BBFC defended its rating : `` The Lovely Bones lacked any explicit detail of the murder and any sexual elements were downplayed . The audience 's sympathies remain entirely with the family and the film had many positive messages about life .

-2542894462939824350 | Seat belt laws in the United States | Seat belt laws in the United States - wikipedia Seat belt laws in the United States Seat belt laws for front seat passengers in the U.S. as of 2009 No enforcement for adults ( primary enforcement for minors ) Secondary enforcement Secondary enforcement ; primary under certain ages Primary enforcement Most seat belt laws in the United States are left to the states . However , the first seat belt law was a federal law , Title 49 of the United States Code , Chapter 301 , Motor Vehicle Safety Standard , which took effect on January 1 , 1968 , that required all vehicles ( except buses ) to be fitted with seat belts in all designated seating positions . This law has since been modified to require three - point seat belts in outboard - seating positions , and finally three - point seat belts in all seating positions . Initially , seat belt use was voluntary . New York was the first state to pass a law which required vehicle occupants to wear seat belts , a law that came into effect on December 1 , 1984 . Officer Nicholas Cimmino of the Westchester County Department of Public Safety wrote the nation 's first ticket for such violation . New Hampshire is the only state that has no enforceable laws for the wearing of seat belts in a vehicle . Contents ( hide ) 1 Primary and secondary enforcement 2 Laws by state 3 Damages reduction 4 Effectiveness 5 See also 6 References Primary and secondary enforcement ( edit ) U.S. seatbelt laws may be subject to primary enforcement or secondary enforcement . Primary enforcement allows a police officer to stop and ticket a driver if he or she observes a violation . Secondary enforcement means that a police officer may only stop or cite a driver for a seatbelt violation if the driver committed another primary violation ( such as speeding , running a stop sign , etc . ) at the same time . New Hampshire is the only U.S. state that does not by law require adult drivers to wear safety belts while operating a motor vehicle . In 15 of the 50 states , the seat belt law is considered a secondary offense , which means that a police officer can not stop and ticket a driver for the sole offense of not wearing a seatbelt . ( One exception to this is Colorado , where children not properly restrained is a primary offense and brings a much larger fine . ) If a driver commits a primary violation ( e.g. , for speeding ) he may additionally be charged for not wearing a seatbelt . In most states the seat belt law was originally a secondary offense ; in many it was later changed to a primary offense : California was the first state to do this , in 1993 . Of the 30 with primary seat belt laws , all but 8 , Connecticut , Hawaii , Iowa , New Mexico , New York , North Carolina , Oregon , and Texas , originally had only secondary enforcement laws . Laws by state ( edit ) This table contains a brief summary of all seatbelt laws in the United States . This list includes only seatbelt laws , which often do not themselves apply to children ; however , all 50 states and the District of Columbia have separate child restraint laws . Keep in mind these fines are the base fines only . In many cases considerable extra fees such as the head injury fund and court security fees can mark up the fine to almost five times as much in some cases .

Kansas , Maryland , and New Jersey , law is Secondary Enforcement for rear seat occupants ( 18 + in Kansas ) . These states assess points on one 's driving record for the seat belt violation . In California - An additional penalty of $24 shall be levied upon every $10 or fraction thereof , of every fine , penalty , or forfeiture imposed by and collected by the court for criminal offenses , including all traffic offenses , except parking offenses as defined in subdivision ( i ) of Penal Code § 1463 . The additional penalty is calculated as follows : State penalty required by PC 1464 $10 , County penalty required by GC 76000 ( e ) , $ 7 Court facilities construction penalty required by GC 70372 ( a ) , $ 3 DNA Identification Fund penalty required by GC 76104.6 and 76104.7 , $ 2 Emergency medical services penalty required by GC 76000.5 , $ 2 Penal Code § 1465.8 requires imposition of an additional fee of twenty dollars ( $20 ) for court security on every conviction for a criminal offense , including a traffic offense , except parking offenses as defined in Penal Code § 1463 , $20 Damages reduction ( edit ) A person involved in a car accident who was not using a seatbelt may be liable for damages far greater than if they had been using a seatbelt . However , when in court , most states protect motorists from having their damages reduced in a lawsuit due to the nonuse of a seatbelt , even if they were acting in violation of the law by not wearing the seatbelt . Currently , damages may be reduced for the nonuse of a seatbelt in 16 states : Alaska , Arizona , California , Colorado , Florida ( See F.S.A. 316.614 ( 10 ) ) , Iowa , Michigan , Missouri , Nebraska , New Jersey , New York , North Dakota , Ohio , Oregon , West Virginia , and Wisconsin . Effectiveness ( edit ) Seat belt laws are effective in reducing car crash deaths . One study found that mandatory - seatbelt laws reduced traffic fatalities by 8 % and serious traffic - related injuries by 9 % , respectively . Primary - seatbelt laws seem to be more effective at reducing crash deaths than secondary laws .

The purpose of the suit is to give the embryos a chance to further develop using a surrogate carrier , hence to be born , and to benefit from an inheritance trust that had been created for them and is administered by Charbonnet . While a contract between Vergara and Loeb had been signed prior to the creation of the embryos stipulating that neither party could use the embryos without the consent of the other , the lawsuit tries to void this agreement . The suit also tries to terminate parental rights of Vergara because by keeping them in a tank in a medical clinic she allegedly abandoned and neglected the embryos . Loeb is not part of the lawsuit . The legal case is novel and takes advantage of Louisiana 's embryo laws . In August 2017 , a Louisiana judge dismissed the case on the grounds that the court had no jurisdiction over the embryos , which were conceived in California .

Referred to as Australian sport 's greatest rivalry , the State of Origin series is one of Australia 's premier sporting events , attracting huge television audiences and usually selling out the stadiums in which the games are played . It is regularly described as being the pinnacle of rugby league , even in comparison with international competitions . Players are selected to represent the Australian state in which they played their first senior rugby league game , hence the name ' state of origin ' . Prior to 1980 players were only selected for interstate matches on the basis of where they were playing their club football at the time . In both 1980 and 1981 there were two interstate matches under the old selection rules and one experimental `` State of Origin '' match . From 1982 onwards a best - of - three match series has been played around the middle of the rugby league season for the State of Origin shield . During the early years , the results were extraordinarily even . However , since 2006 , Queensland has won every series except in 2014 and 2018 .

The two states ' teams are frequently referred to as the Blues and Maroons , reflecting the respective colours of their jerseys . These were the colours of the Australia national rugby league team 's jersey until the adoption of the green and gold . The Blues team is administered by the New South Wales Rugby League and the Maroons by the Queensland Rugby League . The New South Wales team are sometimes referred to by the nickname `` Cockroaches '' and the Queensland team as `` Cane Toads '' , due to names given to them by Barry Muir and Johnny Raper respectively . It was reinforced by a marketing campaign used in the 1980s where the respective teams were caricatured as such . Whilst other Australian states also have representative rugby league teams , they have not competed in State of Origin . History ( edit ) Interstate Rugby League prior to 1980 ( edit ) The first calls for a state of origin selection policy in interstate rugby football came before the schism between the union and league codes eventuated in Australia . In 1900 a journalist known as ' The Cynic ' wrote in The Referee that star rugby player and recent immigrant to Queensland , Stephen Spragg , should be able to play for his home state of New South Wales . Since the beginning of Australian rugby league in 1908 , an interstate competition between New South Wales and Queensland has been conducted from time to time . Until 1982 each team drew its players from the clubs based in that state . No consideration was given to the origins of the players themselves . The first of these interstate games was played at Sydney 's Agricultural Ground on 11 July 1908 , before Queensland had even commenced its club competition . New South Wales easily accounted for Queensland in a 43 -- 0 victory . The local media were unimpressed . There can be no doubt the NSW men are improving a good deal ... They can not be blamed for the farce , for it was nothing else . If the Australian team depends on Queenslanders to strengthen it , one is afraid it will be found wanting . They are quite the weakest lot of footballers I have even seen come down from Queensland . The play needs no detailed description as it was simply a practice match for NSW , and certainly did not advantageously advertise the new game . - The Sydney Morning Herald , 13 July 1908 The interstate series was dominated by New South Wales , apart from a golden period for Queensland in the 1920s . From 1922 to 1925 Queensland defeated New South Wales 11 times in 12 matches . At the end of the 1925 season a Kangaroo team was to be picked for touring Great Britain . Instead of announcing an Australian team dominated by Queenslanders , the Australian Rugby League Board of Control informed the media that the Rugby Football League had decided that the Kiwis would provide stronger opposition , and that there would be no Australian tour . The period spanning 1922 to 1929 saw no Australian team play in Great Britain , the only such hiatus outside the two World Wars . The New South Wales dominance of interstate football increased after 1956 when gaming machines were legalised for all registered clubs in New South Wales . This provided New South Wales football clubs with a revenue source unmatched by Queensland clubs . From this time on an increasing number of Queensland players moved to the much stronger Sydney competition , becoming ineligible for Queensland state selection . Paul Hogan famously told a Queensland Rugby League gathering in 1977 that `` every time Queensland produces a good footballer , he finishes up being processed through a New South Wales poker machine . '' Prior to 1956 , NSW had won 75 % and Qld only 25 % of series played . From 1956 -- 1981 , NSW dominance soared even higher and Qld wins dwindled to only 3.8 % with only 1 series win , in 1959 . Conception of State of Origin football ( edit ) By the 1970s the prestige of interstate matches had been seriously downgraded . Matches were played mid-week , so as not to interfere with the Sydney club competition , and the small crowds in New South Wales were hosted at suburban grounds . Interstate football reached its nadir in 1977 when the New South Wales Rugby Football League ( NSWRFL ) declined to host the Queensland team , and both interstate games were played in Queensland . Former Queensland captain and Australian vice-captain Jack Reardon , who had later become a journalist , was the first to suggest that Sydney - based Queenslanders should be available for selection to represent their state . Brisbane Courier - Mail reporter Hugh Lunn , Barry Maranta ( the future co-founder of the Brisbane Broncos ) and Maranta 's business partner Wayne Reid played a part in persuading QRL chairman Ron McAullife that the concept could be used in rugby league . Lunn told McAullife that `` you can take the Queenslander out of Queensland , Ron , but you ca n't take the Queensland out of the Queenslander . '' McAuliffe was initially sceptical . `` What if we recall our boys from Sydney to play , and we are beaten . Where would we go from there ? '' Reid spoke to NSWRFL president Kevin Humphreys and suggested that a one - off state of origin match could be used as a Test Match selection trial . New South Wales clubs were reticent in their support of the concept and set two conditions : If the third game was to decide the series it was not to act as a selection trial , and also , that the expatriate Queenslanders would be under the supervision of a representative of the NSWRFL whose duty it would be to protect the interests of both the NSWRFL and the clubs to which they were contracted . ( From 1980 this role was filled by Bob Abbott , a Cronulla - Sutherland Sharks official . ) Three Sydney clubs remained opposed to the plan : St. George Dragons , South Sydney Rabbitohs and Eastern Suburbs Roosters . As these clubs were refusing to release players , Humphreys threatened to make the game an official Australian Rugby League trial , which would make release mandatory . The clubs backed down . Experimentation ( edit ) See also : 1980 State of Origin game and 1981 State of Origin game After Queensland lost the first two interstate matches in 1980 ( 35 -- 3 and 17 -- 7 , the second game in front of only 1,638 Sydneysiders ) it was announced that a ' state of origin ' match would take place on 8 July at Lang Park in Brisbane . The New South Wales media gave both the event , and Queensland 's chance of winning it , little credence , calling the game a `` three day wonder '' . Australia 's 1978 captain Bob Fulton called the match `` the non-event of the century '' . Ron MacAullife however , was now committed to the concept and vigorously promoted the match . Thousands of tickets were sold before the game had been officially sanctioned . Although interstate matches in Brisbane had still been well attended ( 24,653 had attended the opening match of the 1979 series ) , few expected the sell - out crowd of 33,210 Queensland rugby league fans , delighted to see their heroes in the likes of Arthur Beetson representing their home state for the first time ever . Queensland convincingly beat New South Wales 20 -- 10 . I was strongly against such a match , but last night 's gripping clash showed that such a fixture would be a welcome addition to the League program . -- Alan Clarkson , journalist for The Sydney Morning Herald , 6 October 1980 In 1981 the first two interstate matches were again played under the old selection rules . As New South Wales won the first two matches in the series , state of origin selection rules were used once more in the third match . Although New South Wales ran out to an early 15 -- 0 lead in the game , Queensland rallied to win 22 -- 15 . Adoption ( edit ) The first State of Origin shield , depicting Queensland 's Wally Lewis and New South Wales ' Brett Kenny . The interest generated by the experimental state of origin matches of 1980 and 1981 and the potential for financial rewards were enough to convince the authorities to play all three games under state of origin rules the following year . The State of Origin format is the only possible way to allow the interstate series to survive . -- Frank Hyde ( 2 June 1982 ) Despite the Maroons ' success so far in the State of Origin experiments , the New South Wales media dismissed the seriousness of the Queensland threat to the Blues ' long - held dominance in series wins . Queensland however , under the leadership of immortal captain Wally Lewis , was inspired by this , and for the first three State of Origin series Queensland won 2 matches to 1 . However , in 1985 , under the leadership of captain Steve Mortimer , New South Wales won the deciding match in front of 29,068 spectators at the Sydney Cricket Ground , claiming the series for the first time . The following year the Blues were able to go one better and complete the first state of origin whitewash , taking the series 3 -- 0 . 1987 : American controversy ( edit ) After Queensland had won the 1987 series 2 -- 1 , a fourth game was played at Long Beach , California to showcase rugby league to the American public . In Origin : Rugby League 's Greatest Contest 1980 -- 2002 ( 2003 ) Queensland writer Jack Gallaway tells a story : There was one additional Origin contest played in 1987 . The Queenslanders had climbed the mountain and at no point did they take the project seriously in any competitive sense . The State of Origin trophy was safely stowed in the Queensland Rugby League board room at Lang Park , and for the Maroons the visit to the United States was their end - of - season outing , the game an exhibition ... Such was the Blues ' disappointment at the loss of the State of Origin series that they would go to any length to restore some vestige of their lost pride . The New South Wales Rugby League hierarchy told their men to prepare for the contest as though it was a deciding test match . The match was played at the Veterans Memorial Stadium in Long Beach , California in front of 12,349 fans . The Blues won the game 30 -- 18 . In 1987 the Australian Rugby League ( ARL ) , New South Wales Rugby League and Queensland Rugby League agreed that the match would only count towards the players ' individual statistics . On 15 July 2003 the Australian Rugby League ( whose primary members are originally from the New South Wales Rugby League ) announced that the fourth 1987 game was to be classified as an official match , and that a win in the state of origin match on 16 July 2003 would take New South Wales into the overall lead . ARL and NSWRL chief executive Geoff Carr said : `` There had been some debate over whether the Origin fixture ... in 1987 was counted as an official match but a search of ARL records has confirmed the status conferred on that clash by the game 's governing body at the time . In announcing the match in Big League in April 1987 , Ken Arthurson , the ARL 's chief executive in 1987 , was quoted as saying ' It 's an exciting experiment but the match is n't and wo n't be billed as an exhibition match ' . '' 1990s ( edit ) After the controversy of the match played in the United States , the Queensland halves pairing of Allan Langer and Wally Lewis led the Maroons in their 3 -- 0 series wins in both 1988 and 1989 . The rise of the Canberra Raiders in the then Winfield Cup club competition produced for the Blues the formidable halves combination of Ricky Stuart and Laurie Daley who brought New South Wales back from defeat with two wins in the opening games of the 1990 series . It was evident that as the rivalry between the two states grew , the Origin matches had become much more physical forward orientated game than the open running play seen in earlier series . As the great Queensland players from the 1980s began to retire from the game , the Maroons struggled with a team of fresh faces and considerable inexperience . The 1992 , 1993 and 1994 series all went to NSW as the talent and experience of Blues players such as Brett Mullins , Daley and Stuart in the backs and Benny Elias and Bradley Clyde in the forwards gave the Blues the edge when the games were on the line . It was n't until the upheaval of the Super League war in 1995 that the Maroons were able to again clinch a series . A main cause for concern for Queensland was the fact that the Brisbane Broncos , its players and many other Queenslanders were not aligned with the ARL prohibiting any players signed with the Super League to play for the Maroons . Despite this the Queenslanders won the 1995 series 3 -- 0 in a shocking white - wash . The 1996 series saw the off - field contract dramas put aside as all players were allowed , regardless of contract , state of origin selection . Having the majority of the Queenslanders back did n't help the Maroons though as the Blues 1996 white - wash with a 3 -- 0 series win of their own . The Australian game divided in 1997 into two competitions , one run by the ARL and one by the News Limited - owned Super League , and an interstate series was played in each . Under the Super League banner there was a Tri-Origin series with a New Zealand side added to the competition . The ARL meanwhile stuck to its traditional format . The teams were selected using origin rules , and New South Wales and Queensland met twice . These matches do not count towards the official state of origin record . As with the premiership , players were spread between two representative tournaments as well . The competitions merged again in 1998 as the current National Rugby League , and the series that year proved to be enthralling as both sides won a game each away from home , setting up a decider at the Sydney Football Stadium where 39,000 fans witnessed the visiting Queenslanders take the series 2 -- 1 . The end of the decade saw a dramatic series with each side taking one game each and game three ending in a draw . Queensland were awarded the series as at the time the previous winners retained the interstate honours . 2000s ( edit ) The early to mid-2000s saw New South Wales starting to assert its traditional interstate dominance , causing some critics ( who ? ) to question the future of State of Origin . However , this imbalance tipped in the third and deciding game of the 2006 State of Origin series , which is seen as the starting point of Queensland 's unprecedented dynasty . Queensland followed by winning the 2007 series , as well as the 2008 series , which made Queensland 's streak three series in a row . New South Wales won Game 1 on 21 May 2008 , however Queensland won Game 2 on 11 June 2008 , and Game 3 on 2 July 2008 . Queensland continued to follow this up by winning the first two games of the 2009 series becoming the first state to win four series in a row . 2010s ( edit ) In 2010 , Queensland won its historic , record - breaking , fifth consecutive Origin series with a 23 -- 18 win in the third and final match . This was the first Queensland team to win all three consecutive State of Origin Games in 15 years . Queensland full back Billy Slater won man of the match in the third game and was awarded the Wally Lewis Medal as Man of the Series in 2010 . The 2010 State of Origin series was also the second televised program in Australia to be shot in 3D 1080i DVB - T as well as being simultaneously broadcast in regular 576i and 1080i DVB - T and PAL . In the first game of the 2011 series Queensland defeated New South Wales 16 -- 12 . In the second game New South Wales defeated Queensland 18 -- 8 . Queensland won the series 34 -- 24 in the 2011 decider in what was Queensland captain Darren Lockyer 's 36th and final game . Cameron Smith won man of the match in both the first and third game and was awarded the Wally Lewis Medal as Man of the Series . In 2012 , then NRL CEO David Gallop introduced the Under - 20s State of Origin for Toyota Cup players which saw New South Wales winning . Queensland went on to win a historic 7th series win in 2012 , winning the final game by 1 point . In 2013 , New South Wales defeated Queensland 14 to 6 in game 1 , Queensland defeated New South Wales 26 to 6 in game 2 , while in game 3 Queensland defeated New South Wales 12 to 10 to take out the overall Origin title for the eighth consecutive time . The 2013 series set a new State of Origin television ratings record for a whole series since the 2001 introduction of the ratings system . In 2014 , New South Wales defeated Queensland 12 - 8 in the first game of the series , and 6 - 4 in the second . In the third game Queensland defeated New South Wales 32 - 8 after scoring the first try of the game in the 37th minute , with Queensland leading 6 - 2 in the first half . This gave the Blues the first series win in 8 years . In 2015 , Queensland defeated New South Wales 11 - 10 in game 1 played in Sydney , New South Wales defeated Queensland 26 - 18 in game 2 played in Melbourne , Queensland defeated New South Wales 52 - 6 in game 3 played in Brisbane , winning the series 2 - 1 . In 2016 , Queensland defeated New South Wales 6 - 4 in game 1 and clinched the series with a 26 - 16 win in the second match . New South Wales closed off the series with a 18 - 14 win over Queensland . In 2017 , New South Wales won Game 1 , 28 - 4 sparking the New South Wales media to start proclaiming the beginning of the Blues Dynasty . Queensland won Game 2 , 18 - 16 after making changes to the team with the returning Billy Slater and Johnathan Thurston , who kicked the winning goal for Queensland . Thurston injured his shoulder in the 30th minute of the match , essentially disabling it as he played out the whole match . Thurston was later ruled out for the rest of the year after scans revealed his shoulder needed a reconstruction , ending his representative career as he announced 2017 would be his last representative year . In Game 3 , New South Wales went in with an unchanged lineup for all three games , the first to do so since 1996 . Queensland dominated the Blues , winning 22 - 6 , with Queensland winger Dane Gagai winning the Wally Lewis Medal for Best Player in the series . It also had Johnathan Thurston raise the Origin Shield with Queensland Captain Cameron Smith , before being chaired off the ground by his teammates , ending Thurston 's representative career on a high note . In 2018 , New South Wales won their first State of Origin series in four years , defeating Queensland 22 -- 12 and 18 -- 14 in the first two games . Queensland scored a consolation victory 18 -- 12 in the final game .

In recent years the series has gained popularity outside of New South Wales and Queensland , with games played in Melbourne drawing record crowds for rugby league and local television ratings comparable to those of some Victorian AFL matches . Internationally , the series is televised in 91 countries , and is a national obsession in Papua New Guinea , occasionally sparking riots , violence and deaths . It also draws a strong following in neighbouring New Zealand . Broadcasting ( edit ) Within Australia , Nine Network is the main broadcaster for the series , with replays airing on Fox Sports . The series is also broadcast on radio by ABC Grandstand . Setanta Sports broadcasts live matches in Asia . In the United States , Fox Soccer televised all matches live using the Nine feed since 2011 , with the coverage moving to Fox Sports 2 when Fox Soccer was discontinued in August 2013 . Premier Sports broadcasts live coverage of State of Origin in the UK . Another twist on the coverage was Roy and HG 's State of Origin commentary on Australian youth radio network Triple J . This broadcast was presented by the characters `` Rampaging '' Roy Slaven and HG Nelson ( played by John Doyle and Greig Pickhaver ) , who commentated the game with a unique comedic style . Roy and HG 's broadcasts began in the late 1980s , and continued until 2008 . Roy and HG moved from Triple J to radio network Triple M in 2009 , at which point the duo ceased their State of Origin commentary . Selection rules ( edit ) Sydney Brisbane Under State of Origin rules players were previously selected for the state in which they first played senior ( or registered ) rugby league . In 2012 , the NSWRL , CRL , QRL and ARLC agreed on new criteria in determining Origin eligibility , to encompass other factors , such as place of birth . Players must also be eligible to represent Australia at international level . Controversy ( edit ) From time to time the selection of players under the State of Origin rules creates controversy . Since 1980 , Queensland has completed just the 7 series with a team completely made up of players of a Queensland birth , while for New South Wales the total is only 6 . However , place of birth has only been a relevant factor in eligibility since 2012 . An issue of contention has been the selection of players such as Peter Sterling , Ken Nagas , James McManus , Israel Folau and Greg Inglis . Israel Folau was born and raised in New South Wales but is eligible to play for Queensland as he played his first senior rugby league match in Queensland . Ken Nagas was born and raised in Queensland but decided to play for New South Wales , Peter Sterling was born in Toowoomba , Queensland and raised in Wagga Wagga , Newcastle & Sydney , all in New South Wales , while McManus was born in Scotland and was raised in the Northern Territory , but was ruled eligible to play for New South Wales in the 2009 series . The selection of Greg Inglis by Queensland was disputed . The Queensland Rugby League selected him based on the fact that either Wavell State High School or Brisbane Norths was Inglis ' first senior football , making him eligible for both states per the rules at the time . However Inglis had previously played for Hunter Sports High School in Newcastle , New South Wales , in the Arrive Alive Cup ; considered to be a senior competition . Hunter Sports High coach Steve Dunn said `` there was some talk the other day that he was actually brought to Queensland before his 16th birthday but I was coach of the team . He played for us at 16 , he 's a Blue '' . The controversy led to the creation of the `` That 's In Queensland '' viral video . Due to the clarification of selection rules the Sims brothers are eligible for different States . Tariq and Ashton are eligible for New South Wales while Korbin Sims is eligible for Queensland . Previously father and son combinations , such as Steve and Mat Rogers have represented different states . This duo was especially notable because Mat was born in New South Wales and played for Queensland while Steve was born in Queensland and played for New South Wales . Steve Rogers played his first senior game of rugby league for the Southport Tigers on Queenslands Gold Coast Foreign born players have also represented each state . New Zealand has had several players , such as Brad Thorn , Ben Te'o , Craig Smith , Willie Mason , Tonie Carroll , James Tamou and Karmichael Hunt play Origin . Tamou 's selection by New South Wales in 2012 was controversial as he was born in Palmerston North and played for the Junior Kiwis , lived in New Zealand until he moved to Sydney when he was 13 and was included in the New Zealand Kiwis training squad for the 2011 Four Nations . Both Hunt and Tamou played for Australia before being selected for State of Origin . Other players , such as Sam Kasiano and Jason Taumalolo are also eligible , creating concern in the New Zealand Rugby League . Apart from representing Queensland , Brad Thorn is also a dual rugby international , having played international rugby league for Australia , and international rugby union for the All Blacks . Papua New Guinea - born Adrian Lam and Fijian - born Lote Tuqiri , Akuila Uate and Petero Civoniceva have also played Origin . Benny Elias was born in Lebanon and has played for and captained NSW . Mario Fenech was born in Malta and has played for NSW . The most recent case of a foreign born player being selected was the selection of former Samoan international , Ben Te'o , by Queensland in game three of the 2012 season . A report into eligibility based on a player 's birth state showed ; `` Of the 18 series that QLD has won , it had the greater percentage of non-State ( born ) players in its side on 14 of those occasions -- revealing a 77.8 % dependency . Of the 13 series that NSW has won , on five of those occasions it had the higher percentage of non-State ( born ) players across the series -- revealing a 38.5 % dependency . '' Anomalies ( edit ) In 1995 and 1997 Super League players were made ineligible for the ARL State of Origin series selection . This included most of Queensland 's usual team , who now played for the Super League affiliated Brisbane Broncos . The ARL hence decided to relax the rules in those years , allowing Queensland to select Adrian Lam who had previously played for Papua New Guinea . The 1995 Origin series was the scene of the biggest upset in Origin history when the relatively inexperienced Maroon 's swept aside NSW , who even without their Super League players could still boast a number of senior Origin and international players , 3 - 0 . During the 2000 World Cup a number of Australian players were granted dispensations to appear for other nations under the grandparent rule . The players affected were David Barnhill ( NSW ) , Kevin Campion ( Qld ) , Tonie Carroll ( Qld ) , Graham Mackay ( NSW ) , Willie Mason ( NSW ) , Luke Ricketson ( NSW ) , Lote Tuqiri ( Qld ) and Adrian Vowles ( Qld ) , Results ( edit ) For full results and statistics , see State of Origin results and statistics Year by year ( edit ) Of the 36 full series played , Queensland have won 21 , New South Wales 14 , with 2 series drawn ( Queensland retained the Shield on both occasions as the previous year 's winner ) . With the addition of three one - off games that were played in 1980 , 1981 and 1987 , the total number of games played is 108 . Queensland have won 58 , New South Wales have won 51 , with 2 matches being drawn . The series of 1999 and 2002 are considered drawn series , as both New South Wales and Queensland won a single game of each 3 match series , with the final game concluding in a draw . At that time there was no overtime rule to break the deadlock , and by the same set of rules , Queensland retained the shield as they were the previous holders , but did not win the series . Due to controversy around the second drawn series , and the rule awarding the series champions to Queensland , the rules were subsequently changed to rule out drawn matches and series . Equal points at the close of full - time are now resolved with the golden point method .

The song became a garage rock staple and a part of many rock bands ' repertoires . It is particularly memorable for its `` Gloria ! '' chorus . It is easy to play , as a simple three - chord song , and thus is popular with those learning to play guitar . Contents 1 History 2 Appearances 2.1 Original studio recording by Them 2.2 Studio version with John Lee Hooker 2.3 Live versions by Van Morrison 3 Cover versions 4 Acclaim 5 In the media 6 Charts 7 References 8 Notes 9 External links History ( edit ) Morrison said that he wrote `` Gloria '' while he performed with the Monarchs in Germany in the summer of 1963 , at just about the time he turned 18 years old . He started to perform it at the Maritime Hotel when he returned to Belfast and joined up with the Gamblers to form the band Them . He would ad - lib lyrics as he performed , sometimes stretching the song to 15 or 20 minutes . After signing a contract with Dick Rowe and Decca , Them went to London for a recording session at Decca Three Studios in West Hampstead on 5 April 1964 ; `` Gloria '' was one of the seven songs recorded that day . Besides Morrison , present were Billy Harrison on guitar , Alan Henderson on bass , Ronnie Millings on drums and Patrick John McCauley on keyboards . Rowe brought in session musicians Arthur Greenslade on organ and Bobby Graham on drums , since he considered the Them members too inexperienced . There remains some dispute about whether Millings and McCauley were miked up , but Alan Henderson contends that Them constituted the first rock group to use two drummers on a recording . Although some sources claim that Jimmy Page played second guitar , other sources deny this . `` Gloria '' was the B - side when `` Baby , Please Do n't Go '' was released in the U.K. on 6 November 1964 . It was re-released in 1973 on the Deram label , but did not chart .

AC / DC covered the song regularly in their early formation ; lead singer Bon Scott had previously performed `` Gloria '' with his first group , The Spektors . Patti Smith , from her 1975 album Horses . This version is based on the Morrison tune , but its lyrics are reinvented for the nascent punk rock movement , retaining only the chorus , and adding possibly ironic allusions to the sacred allusions of the title . It memorably begins , `` Jesus died for somebody 's sins / But not mine '' . Eddie and the Hot Rods , on their 7 '' titled `` 96 Tears / Get Out of Denver / Gloria / ( I Ca n't Get No ) Satisfaction '' that was released in the United Kingdom in 1976 .

( They also recorded an unrelated song called `` Gloria '' . ) David Bowie played the song regularly on his 1990 Sound and Vision Tour . A portion of the intro , guitar solo , and outtro of `` Play Guitar '' by John Cougar Mellencamp , was very similar to a portion of `` Gloria '' 's guitar riff . Energy Orchard released a live version on their 1993 album , Shinola . Shane MacGowan performed the song with Van Morrison at the 1994 BRIT Awards ceremony and changed `` R -- I -- A '' to `` I -- R -- A '' when singing the chorus . Rick Springfield covered the song live on the 2001 album Greatest Hits Alive and has performed the song several times in concert , often following Morrison 's lead by ad - libbing lyrics and stretching the song 's length . Popa Chubby released a live album recorded at a 2003 radio show in France , entitled Live at FIP , that including `` Gloria '' ( sung with his wife ) . Tom Petty played the song several times on his Highway Companion Tour in 2006 , and he closed most of the shows with it during his twenty - night run at The Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco in 1997 . The Tragically Hip performed a live version of the song , which included a monologue by Gordon Downie about tying his friend , Roch , to the railroad tracks . Bill Murray opened the 2007 Crossroads Guitar Festival by playing `` Gloria '' , stating that it is the only song he knows how to play , with Eric Clapton appearing on stage to expertly finish it for him .

Billie Joe Armstrong sings the chorus of G-L-O-R-I-A at the ending of the song , `` Horseshoes and Handgrenades '' on the 2009 Green Day album 21st Century Breakdown .

Anthony Kiedis sings G-L-O-R-I-A during the song `` Venice Queen '' . `` Venice Queen '' was lyrically composed as an ode to Kiedis ' drug rehabilitation therapist , Gloria Scott , who died shortly after he purchased her a home on California 's Venice Beach Iggy Pop covered the song on the 2011 album Roadkill Rising The 13th Floor Elevators included a 1966 live cover of the song in the 2005 anniversary edition of its album The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators .

Acclaim ( edit ) One explanation for the timeless popularity of the song was offered in AllMusic 's review by Bill Janovitz : The beauty of the original is that Van Morrison needs only to speak - sing , in his Howlin ' Wolf growl , `` I watch her come up to my house / She knocks upon my door / And then she comes up to my room / I want to say she makes me feel all right / G-L-O-R-I-A ! '' to convey his teenage lust . The original Latin meaning of the name is not lost on Morrison . Them never varies from the three chords , utilizing only dynamic changes to heighten the tension . `` Gloria '' was rated number 69 on Dave Marsh 's list in the 1989 book The Heart of Rock & Soul : The 1001 Greatest Singles Ever Made . He described the song as `` one of the few rock songs that 's actually as raunchy as its reputation . '' In his book Rock and Roll : The 100 Best Singles , Paul Williams said about the two sides of the `` Baby Please Do n't Go / Gloria '' recording : `` Into the heart of the beast ... here is something so good , so pure , that if no other hint of it but this record existed , there would still be such a thing as rock and roll ... Van Morrison 's voice a fierce beacon in the darkness , the lighthouse at the end of the world . Resulting in one of the most perfect rock anthems known to humankind . '' Humourist Dave Barry joked that `` You can throw a guitar off a cliff , and as it bounces off rocks on the way down , it will , all by itself , play Gloria . '' In 1999 , `` Gloria '' by Them received the Grammy Hall of Fame Award . In 2000 , `` Gloria '' by Them was listed as number 81 on VH1 's list of The 100 Greatest Rock Songs of All Time . In 2004 , `` Gloria '' by Them was ranked # 208 on Rolling Stone 's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time , moving down to # 211 in the 2010 updated list . `` Gloria '' was also included in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll twice : by Patti Smith and by Shadows of Knight . In the media ( edit ) Them 's recording of the song appeared in an episode of TV series The Sopranos , `` Pine Barrens '' , accompanying the appearance of Annabella Sciorra 's character Gloria Trillo . `` Gloria '' by Them was played a number of times in the 1983 film The Outsiders and also sung while fending off the monster in the jukebox musical , Return to the Forbidden Planet . It was also professional skateboarder Jim Greco 's song in the video `` Baker 2g '' .

"\"Gloria\" is a song written by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison and originally recorded by Morrison's band Them in 1964 and released as the B-side of \"Baby, Please Don't Go\". The song became a garage rock staple and a part of many rock bands' repertoires. It is particularly memorable for its \"Gloria!\" chorus. It is easy to play, as a simple three-chord song, and thus is popular with those learning to play guitar.\n"

The soundtrack was released by Walt Disney Records on November 19 , 2016 . It features songs written by Lin - Manuel Miranda , Mark Mancina and Opetaia Foa'i , with lyrics in English , Samoan , Tokelauan , and Tuvalu . The two - disc deluxe edition includes the score , which was composed by Mancina , as well as demos , outtakes and instrumental karaoke tracks . The album debuted on the Billboard 200 chart at number 16 and peaked at number 2 , kept off the top spot by The Weeknd 's Starboy . `` How Far I 'll Go '' was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song and the Academy Award for Best Original Song . Contents ( hide ) 1 Recording 2 Commercial performance 3 Accolades 4 Track listing 5 Charts 5.1 Weekly charts 5.2 Year - end charts 5.3 Tracks 6 Certifications 7 Notes 8 References Recording ( edit ) For the soundtrack , Disney wanted to combine traditional South Pacific culture with pop and Broadway sensibilities , which led to the hiring of Broadway playwright , songwriter and composer Lin - Manuel Miranda , composer Mark Mancina and Tokelauan singer - songwriter Opetaia Foa'i . The first song they completed was `` We Know the Way '' , which Foa'i began after his first meeting with Disney in December 2013 . The trio worked together in New Zealand and in Los Angeles . At the same time , Miranda was also developing and starring in the Broadway musical Hamilton , which meant he was able to recruit Hamilton stars Phillipa Soo , Christopher Jackson , and Renée Elise Goldsberry as well as In The Heights star Marcy Harriell to help him record demos of his songs . The songs feature Foa'i's New Zealand - based vocal group Te Vaka , as well as a choir from Fiji . The soundtrack contains seven original songs , two reprises , and two end - credits versions of songs from the film . Mancina composed the score and produced both the score and the songs . In addition to guitars and strings , the score features Polynesian vocals and percussion , woodwinds made from bamboo from the South Pacific , and traditional hide - covered Tyka drums . According to Miranda , `` Shiny '' was inspired by the Flight of the Conchords ' tribute to David Bowie at the Aspen Comedy Festival in 2004 , as well as listening to Bowie 's songs on a loop shortly after the singer 's death in January 2016 . Commercial performance ( edit ) `` How Far I 'll Go '' appears during the film performed by actress Auli'i Cravalho , and during the end credits performed by Canadian singer - songwriter Alessia Cara . A music video for Cara 's version of the song was released on November 3 , 2016 . It reached number 88 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week of December 17 , 2016 . South African singer Lira and Filipino singer Janella Salvador recorded two English - language versions of `` How Far I 'll Go '' that will play over the end credits on the South African and Filipino release of the film , while Indonesian singer Maudy Ayunda and Malaysian singer Ayda Jebat recorded their own versions of the song respectively in Indonesian and Malaysian language . Lin - Manuel Miranda and Jordan Fisher sing a duet on `` You 're Welcome '' , which plays over the end credits . The song as performed by Dwayne Johnson appears in the film . Johnson 's version of `` You 're Welcome '' peaked at number 83 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week of December 17 , 2016 . The soundtrack also features Jemaine Clement , who voices the coconut crab Tamatoa . The album has so far sold a total of 509,000 copies in the United States making it the third soundtrack to surpass a half - million in sales in 2017 , following Suicide Squad and Trolls . Accolades ( edit ) At the 74th Golden Globe Awards , `` How Far I 'll Go '' was nominated for Best Original Song . It also received a nomination for Best Original Song at the 89th Academy Awards .

-8529827175688462467 | Daubert standard | Daubert standard - wikipedia Daubert standard Jump to : navigation , search The Daubert standard provides a rule of evidence regarding the admissibility of expert witnesses ' testimony during United States federal legal proceedings . Pursuant to this standard , a party may raise a Daubert motion , which is a special case of motion in limine raised before or during trial to exclude the presentation of unqualified evidence to the jury . The Daubert trilogy refers to the three United States Supreme Court cases that articulated the Daubert standard : Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals , which held in 1993 that Rule 702 of the Federal Rules of Evidence did not incorporate the Frye `` general acceptance '' test as a basis for assessing the admissibility of scientific expert testimony , but that the rule incorporated a flexible reliability standard instead ; General Electric Co. v. Joiner , which held that a district court judge may exclude expert testimony when there are gaps between the evidence relied on by an expert and his conclusion , and that an abuse - of - discretion standard of review is the proper standard for appellate courts to use in reviewing a trial court 's decision of whether it should admit expert testimony ; Kumho Tire Co. v. Carmichael , which held in 1999 that the judge 's gatekeeping function identified in Daubert applies to all expert testimony , including that which is non-scientific . Important appellate - level opinions that clarify the standard include Judge Kozinski 's opinion in Daubert on remand ( Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals , Inc. , 43 F. 3d 1311 ( 9th Cir. 1995 ) ) , and Judge Becker 's opinion in In re Paoli R.R. Yard PCB Litig. , 35 F. 3d 717 ( 3d Cir. 1994 ) . Contents ( hide ) 1 Definition 2 Use 2.1 Daubert motion : timing 3 History 4 International influence 5 See also 6 References 7 External links Definition ( edit ) In Daubert , seven members of the Court agreed on the following guidelines for admitting scientific expert testimony : Judge is gatekeeper : Under Rule 702 , the task of `` gatekeeping '' , or assuring that scientific expert testimony truly proceeds from `` scientific knowledge '' , rests on the trial judge . Relevance and reliability : This requires the trial judge to ensure that the expert 's testimony is `` relevant to the task at hand '' and that it rests `` on a reliable foundation '' . Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharms. , Inc. , 509 U.S. 579 , 584 - 587 . Concerns about expert testimony can not be simply referred to the jury as a question of weight . Furthermore , the admissibility of expert testimony is governed by Rule 104 ( a ) , not Rule 104 ( b ) ; thus , the Judge must find it more likely than not that the expert 's methods are reliable and reliably applied to the facts at hand . Scientific knowledge = scientific method / methodology : A conclusion will qualify as scientific knowledge if the proponent can demonstrate that it is the product of sound `` scientific methodology '' derived from the scientific method . Illustrative Factors : The Court defined `` scientific methodology '' as the process of formulating hypotheses and then conducting experiments to prove or falsify the hypothesis , and provided a set of illustrative factors ( i.e. , not a `` test '' ) in determining whether these criteria are met : Whether the theory or technique employed by the expert is generally accepted in the scientific community ; Whether it has been subjected to peer review and publication ; Whether it can be and has been tested ; Whether the known or potential rate of error is acceptable ; and Whether the research was conducted independent of the particular litigation or dependent on an intention to provide the proposed testimony . In 2000 , Rule 702 was amended in an attempt to codify and structure elements embodied in the `` Daubert trilogy . '' The rule then read as follows : Rule 702 . Testimony by Experts If scientific , technical , or other specialized knowledge will assist the trier of fact to understand the evidence or to determine a fact in issue , a witness qualified as an expert by knowledge , skill , experience , training , or education , may testify thereto in the form of an opinion or otherwise , if ( 1 ) the testimony is based upon sufficient facts or data , ( 2 ) the testimony is the product of reliable principles and methods , and ( 3 ) the witness has applied the principles and methods reliably to the facts of the case . ( As amended Apr. 17 , 2000 , eff . Dec. 1 , 2000 . ) In 2011 , Rule 702 was again amended to make the language clearer . The rule now reads : RULE 702 . TESTIMONY BY EXPERT WITNESSES A witness who is qualified as an expert by knowledge , skill , experience , training , or education may testify in the form of an opinion or otherwise if : ( a ) The expert 's scientific , technical , or other specialized knowledge will help the trier of fact to understand the evidence or to determine a fact in issue ; ( b ) The testimony is based on sufficient facts or data ; ( c ) The testimony is the product of reliable principles and methods ; and ( d ) The expert has reliably applied the principles and methods to the facts of the case . ( As amended Apr. 17 , 2000 , eff . Dec. 1 , 2000 ; Apr. 26 , 2011 , eff . Dec. 1 , 2011 ) While some federal courts still rely on pre-2000 opinions in determining the scope of Daubert , as a technical legal matter any earlier judicial rulings that conflict with the language of amended Rule 702 are no longer good precedent . Use ( edit ) Although the Daubert standard is now the law in federal court and over half of the states , the Frye standard remains the law in some jurisdictions including California , Illinois , Maryland , New Jersey , Pennsylvania , and Washington . Florida passed a bill to adopt the Daubert standard as the law governing expert witness testimony , which took effect on July 1 , 2013 . However , the Florida Supreme Court rejected the Legislature 's `` Daubert Amendment '' to the extent it is procedural in nature . Although trial judges have always had the authority to exclude inappropriate testimony , prior to Daubert , trial courts often preferred to let juries hear evidence proffered by both sides . Once certain evidence has been excluded by a Daubert motion because it fails to meet the relevancy and reliability standard , it will likely be challenged when introduced again in another trial . Even though a Daubert motion is not binding to other courts of law , if something was found untrustworthy by one court , other judges may choose to follow that precedent . Of course , a decision by an appellate court that a piece of evidence is inadmissible under Daubert would be binding on district courts within that court 's jurisdiction . Daubert motion : timing ( edit ) To attack expert testimony as inadmissible , counsel may bring pretrial motions , including motions in limine . The motion in limine may be brought prior to trial , although counsel may bring the motion during trial as well . A motion attacking expert testimony should be brought within a reasonable time after the close of discovery if the grounds for the objection can be reasonably anticipated . The hearing should be made well in advance of the first time a case appears on a trial calendar . In one case where a Daubert hearing was conducted on the day of the trial , in which the district court excluded all plaintiff 's expert testimony , resulting in the dismissal of all claims , the appellate court remanded the case because of multiple irregularities and a defective record of lower court proceedings . The appellate court noted that in cases that rely heavily on expert testimony , a district court should set a discovery and trial schedule that realistically provides both sides with an adequate opportunity to introduce necessary evidence . The application of Federal Rule of Evidence 702 to proposed expert testimony can often be an uncertain process , and is best conducted in such a manner that litigants have a reasonable opportunity to locate experts who meet the rule 's requirements . In another case in which the defendant was apparently at fault for filing a motion to exclude expert testimony one week before the trial date , the district court denied the motion on that ground , but it advised the defendant that it might conduct its own voir dire of the expert in question before he testified . The district court preliminarily found that defendant 's motion was predicated on a ruling made almost three months earlier by a district court in another state , and that defendant had shown no good cause for waiting to file the motion . The defendant ultimately lost that case , following the admission of the disputed expert testimony , and ultimately failed in its appeal . An evidentiary hearing on the motion may not be necessary if the court finds that it would not assist the court in ruling on any of the matters in the motion . History ( edit ) Prior to Daubert , relevancy in combination with the Frye test were the dominant standards for determining the admissibility of scientific evidence in Federal courts . Frye is based on a 1923 Federal Court of appeals ruling involving the admissibility of polygraph evidence . Under Frye , the Court - based the admissibility of testimony regarding novel scientific evidence on whether it has `` gained general acceptance in the particular field in which it belongs . '' The trial court 's gatekeeper role in this respect is typically described as conservative , thus helping to keep pseudoscience out of the courtroom by deferring to those in the field . In Daubert , the Supreme Court ruled that the 1923 Frye test was superseded by the 1975 Federal Rules of Evidence , specifically Rule 702 governing expert testimony . Rule 702 originally stated ( in its entirety ) , If scientific , technical , or other specialized knowledge will assist the trier of fact to understand the evidence or determine a fact in issue , a witness qualified as an expert by knowledge , skill , experience , training , or education , may testify thereto in the form of an opinion or otherwise . In Daubert , the Court ruled that nothing in the Federal Rules of Evidence governing expert evidence `` gives any indication that ' general acceptance ' is a necessary precondition to the admissibility of scientific evidence . Moreover , such a rigid standard would be at odds with the Rules ' liberal thrust and their general approach of relaxing the traditional barriers to ' opinion ' testimony . '' By requiring experts to provide relevant opinions grounded in reliable methodology , proponents of Daubert were satisfied that these standards would result in a fair and rational resolution of the scientific and technological issues which lie at the heart of product liability adjudication . Ironically , Daubert has not appeared to further the Federal Rules philosophy of admitting generally all relevant testimony , and specifically of relaxing the traditional barriers to ' opinion ' testimony . '' The Daubert decision has instead been heralded by some political commentators as one of the most important Supreme Court decisions in imposing higher barriers for toxic tort and product liability cases , by allegedly reducing the volume of so - called junk science in the court room . According to a 2002 RAND study , post Daubert , the percentage of expert testimony by scientists that was excluded from the courtroom significantly rose . This rise likely contributed to a doubling in successful motions for summary judgment in which 90 % were against plaintiffs . Beyond this study , there is little empirical evidence of the impact of Daubert . However , some critics argue that Daubert has disrupted the balance between plaintiffs and defendants , `` The exclusion of expert testimony affects plaintiffs far more than defendants because plaintiffs may then not be able to meet their required burden of proof . Furthermore , there is little point in plaintiffs going to the expense of Daubert motions to exclude defendant 's experts until they know if their case will proceed . So if more experts are now being excluded , then Daubert has undoubtedly shifted the balance between plaintiffs and defendants and made it more difficult for plaintiffs to litigate successfully . '' Similarly , Daubert hearings can be subject to various abuses by attorneys attempting to bolster a weak case . These tactics can range from simply attempting to delay the case to driving up the costs of the litigation forcing settlement . A different pattern has emerged in criminal cases . In criminal cases , the prosecution has the burden of proof and uses a host of forensic science methods as evidence to prove their case . But , Daubert motions are rarely made by criminal defendants and when they do , they lose a majority of the challenges . Some critics of the use of unreliable science in court argue that Daubert has had beneficial effects in civil litigation , but fails to address the underlying pathologies of the forensic science system that leads to dubious verdicts in criminal cases . Some commentators believe that Daubert caused judges to become -- in the phrase used in former Chief Justice William Rehnquist 's dissent in Daubert -- amateur scientists , many lacking the scientific literacy to effectively fulfill their role as gatekeeper of scientific evidence . Although `` science for judges '' forums have emerged in the wake of Daubert in order to educate judges in a variety of scientific fields , many are still skeptical about the usefulness of the Daubert standard in discerning valid science . The responsibility to assess scientific relevance has shifted from highly trained expert witnesses to judges deficient in science education . The `` Daubert '' ruling furthermore admits the possible introduction of non-peer reviewed data and conclusions . This increasingly shifts the burden of scientific judgement onto judges who have not had an education which would enable them to properly evaluate such data . Pursuant to Rule 104 ( a ) , in Daubert the U.S. Supreme Court suggested that the following factors be considered : Has the technique been tested in actual field conditions ( and not just in a laboratory ) ? Has the technique been subject to peer review and publication ? What is the known or potential rate of error ? Do standards exist for the control of the technique 's operation ? Has the technique been generally accepted within the relevant scientific community ? The Supreme Court explicitly cautioned that the Daubert list should not be regarded by judges as `` a definitive checklist or test ... '' Yet in practice , judges have judged the admissibility of scientific evidence using the `` Daubert factors '' as a checklist ; for example , the trial court judge in Kumho admitted to erroneously treating the factors as mandatory . International influence ( edit ) The Canadian Supreme Court has expressly adopted the Daubert standard in two cases . R. v. Mohan , ; R. v. J.L. - J. , ( 2000 ) . In J.L. - J. , the Court took a look at the development of U.S. law in this regard , noted the U.S. Supreme Court 's rejection of the Frye standard and its replacement with the Daubert Standard . While the Court did note that : `` Daubert must be read in light of the specific text of the Federal Rules of Evidence , which differs from our own procedures , '' the Court also stated in the same sentence that `` the U.S. Supreme Court did list a number of factors that could be helpful in evaluating the soundness of novel science . '' The Court then applied the Daubert standard to a decision of the Quebec Court of Appeal . The Quebec Court had held that greater liberality should be applied by the Court in receiving pro-defense scientific evidence in a criminal case . The Court rejected this decision and reinstated the defendant 's conviction . Additionally , in 2005 , the United Kingdom House of Commons Science and Technology Committee recommended the creation of a Forensic Science Advisory Council to regulate forensic evidence in the UK and observed that : The absence of an agreed protocol for the validation of scientific techniques prior to their being admitted in court is entirely unsatisfactory . Judges are not well - placed to determine scientific validity without input from scientists . We recommend that one of the first tasks of the Forensic Science Advisory Council be to develop a `` gate - keeping '' test for expert evidence . This should be done in partnership with judges , scientists and other key players in the criminal justice system , and should build on the US Daubert test . The Law Commission for England and Wales has proposed a consultation paper ( No. 190 ) to adopt a criterion like the Daubert Standard to help reform the law of evidence in regards to the admissibility of scientific evidence .

The longest and heaviest SUV ever to enter mass production , the Excursion was based upon the Ford F - 250 Super Duty pickup truck . A 3⁄4 - ton chassis vehicle , the Ford Excursion was designed as a competitor for the 2500 - series ( also 3⁄4 - ton ) Chevrolet Suburban and GMC Yukon XL . Due to criticism over its large size , poor fuel economy , and declining sales , the Excursion was discontinued after the 2005 model year in the United States ( Mexico received a short 2006 production run ) . For the 2007 model year , the Excursion was largely replaced as Ford introduced an extended - length version of the Ford Expedition ( Expedition EL in United States ; Expedition Max in Canada / Mexico ) , although it is only a Class 1 SUV . All examples of the Ford Excursion were assembled at the Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville , Kentucky ; the last vehicle was produced September 30 , 2005 .

The Centurion Classic is a four - door SUV based on the full - size Ford Bronco constructed by Centurion Vehicles , a converter specializing in Ford trucks based in White Pigeon , Michigan . Two models of the Classic were produced : the C150 ( based on the F - 150 ) and the C350 ( based on the F - 350 ) . To create a four - door Bronco , Centurion mated the bodywork of two separate vehicles . An F - Series chassis ( shortened to a 140 - inch wheelbase ) with a crew - cab body was mated to the rear body of a Ford Bronco ( aft of the door openings ) . The use of the Bronco bodyshell gave the Classic three rows of seating , as in a Suburban ; depending on the design configuration , a Classic could seat up to nine . In contrast to the Suburban and later Ford Excursion , the Classic C350 was produced on a one - ton chassis instead of a 3⁄4 - ton chassis . Following the F - Series , the C150 offered 5.0 L and 5.8 L V8s while the C350 offered a 7.5 L gasoline V8 and a diesel V8 ( IDI and later 7.3 L PowerStroke ) . Rear - wheel drive and four - wheel drive drivetrain configurations were available . The Centurion Classic ended its production after the 1996 model year as Ford discontinued the Bronco in favor of its own four - door SUV , the Ford Expedition . Closer in size and function to the Centurion C350 , the Ford Excursion was introduced for the 2000 model year . Design overview ( edit ) Chassis ( edit ) Ford Excursion Limited next to 1992 -- 1996 Toyota Camry The Ford Excursion is produced sharing the platform architecture of the F - 250 Super Duty pickup truck . Sharing nearly all of its chassis components , the Excursion shares a common width , front and rear track , and wheelbase . Along with the common drivetrain , the Excursion shared its front and rear suspension and steering gear with the F - 250 . The rear axle for all Excursions was a Sterling 10.5 axle . The four wheel drive models were equipped with a NV273 transfer case and Dana 50 front axle .

Its GVWR was above 8,500 lbs , exempting it from EPA fuel economy ratings ; reviewers cited fuel economy in the range of 12 - 15mpg with the V10 gasoline engine . During the development of the chassis , Ford learned that its initial design caused smaller vehicles ( such as a Ford Taurus ) to become severely overridden in a head - on collision . In the test , the tire of the Excursion drove up to the windshield of the Taurus , reducing the chance of survival for the Taurus driver . As a response , Ford modified the chassis to include an under - bumper `` blocker beam '' ; the device was initially tested by the French transportation ministry in 1971 . For the rear of the chassis , Ford chose to include a trailer hitch as standard equipment in production to reduce underriding in rear - end collisions by smaller vehicles . Body ( edit ) 2000 -- 2004 Ford Excursion Limited 2005 Ford Excursion XLT Aside from the Chevrolet Suburban and its GMC / Cadillac counterparts and the International Harvester Travelall , the Ford Excursion is among one of the only regular - production sport - utility vehicles produced with four full - length passenger doors ( shared with the Super Duty Crew Cab ) . As with the Expedition , the Excursion received an eggcrate in place of the gray grille seen on its F - Series counterpart . In place of a liftgate , the cargo door of the Excursion was designed with a 3 - way door : an upper liftgate paired with two dutch doors ( similar to later models of the Chevrolet Astro ) . In one change from the F - Series , Ford added the larger taillights of the E-Series van to the Excursion . Most of the interior was largely shared with the Super Duty trucks , although the Excursion was designed for three - row seating for up to nine passengers . A minor change occurred for the 2002 model year where it received a digital odometer . As with other Ford trucks , the Excursion was sold in XL ( sold nearly exclusively for fleet sales ) , XLT ( standard trim ) , and Limited . In 2003 , Ford added the Eddie Bauer trim package sold on other Ford SUVs to the Excursion . For 2005 , the exterior changed for the first time , as Ford replaced the eggcrate grille , replacing it with the `` 3 - bar '' grille introduced on Super Duty trucks . Reception ( edit ) The Excursion was introduced in 1999 as a 2000 model - year vehicle . It was described by Popular Science as the `` biggest sport utility on the planet . '' Sales were initially good , peaking in the 2000 model year with over 50,000 sales . As the energy crisis of the 2000s began and fuel prices rose , sales declined . The Excursion 's large size and poor fuel economy led to it being dubbed the Ford Valdez by The Sierra Club , in reference to the Exxon Valdez supertanker , and in 2007 TIME Magazine selected it as one of the Fifty Worst Cars of All Time . Variants ( edit ) Ford Excursion as fire chief vehicle ( of FDNY ) F - 250 Tropivan ( edit ) From 1998 to 2012 , a second - party SUV conversion of the Ford F - 250 was sold in Brazil . Similar in design and layout to the Excursion , the F - 250 Tropivan differed primarily in its being a second - party conversion ( similar to the Centurion Classic ) . In contrast to the Excursion , two different wheelbases of the model were produced . As with all Super Duty trucks in Brazil , the Tropivan had a different engine selection throughout its production run that included the 4.2 L Essex V6 as the only gasoline - powered option , while the Diesel offering consisted of a 3.9 L Cummins B - series and the 4.2 L straight - 6 MWM Sprint 6.07 TCA . Aftermarket ( edit ) Aftermarket Ford Excursion stretch limousines were created during its 2000 -- 2005 production run . After the 2005 model year . the rear body panels of the Ford Excursion have been utilized for a number of vehicle conversions because of its shared bodywork with the Ford F - 650 Super Duty medium - duty truck chassis . The practice is similar to the original Centurion Classic C350s of the 1980s and 1990s . Based on the 2010 -- 2014 Ford SVT Raptor SuperCrew , the Hennessey VelociRaptor SUV used the rear roofline of the Excursion to create an SUV body from the Raptor pickup truck .

It is the opening track from their 1987 album The Joshua Tree and was released as the album 's third single in August 1987 . The song 's hook is a repeating guitar arpeggio using a delay effect , played during the song 's introduction and again at the end . Lead vocalist Bono wrote the lyrics in response to the notion that it is possible to identify a person 's religion and income based on the street on which they lived , particularly in Belfast . During the band 's difficulties recording the song , producer Brian Eno considered erasing the song 's tapes to have them start from scratch . `` Where the Streets Have No Name '' was praised by critics and became a commercial success , peaking at number thirteen in the US , number fourteen in Canada , number ten in the Netherlands , and number four in the United Kingdom . The song has remained a staple of their live act since the song debuted in 1987 on The Joshua Tree Tour . The song was performed on a Los Angeles rooftop for the filming of its music video , which won a Grammy Award for Best Performance Music Video .

In an upstairs room at Melbeach House -- his newly purchased home -- The Edge used a four - track tape machine to record an arrangement of keyboards , bass , guitar , and a drum machine . Realising that the album sessions were approaching the end and that the band were short on exceptional live songs , The Edge wanted to `` conjure up the ultimate U2 live - song '' , so he imagined what he would like to hear at a future U2 show if he were a fan . After finishing the rough mix , he felt he had come up with `` the most amazing guitar part and song of ( his ) life '' . With no one in the house to share the demo with , The Edge recalls dancing around and punching the air in celebration . Although the band liked the demo , it was difficult for them to record the song . Bassist Adam Clayton said , `` At the time it sounded like a foreign language , whereas now we understand how it works '' . The arrangement , with two time signature shifts and frequent chord changes , was rehearsed many times , but the group struggled to get a performance they liked . According to co-producer Daniel Lanois , `` that was the science project song . I remember having this massive schoolhouse blackboard , as we call them . I was holding a pointer , like a college professor , walking the band through the chord changes like a fucking nerd . It was ridiculous . '' Co-producer Brian Eno estimates that half of the album sessions were spent trying to record a suitable version of `` Where the Streets Have No Name '' . The band worked on a single take for weeks , but as Eno explained , that particular version had a lot of problems with it and the group continued trying to fix it up . Through all of their work , they had gradually replaced each instrument take until nothing remained from the original performance . So much time had been spent on `` screwdriver work '' that Eno thought it would be best to start from scratch . His idea was to `` stage an accident '' and have the song 's tapes erased . He said that this was not to force abandonment of the song , but rather that it would be more effective to start again with a fresh performance . At one point , Eno had the tapes cued up and ready to be recorded over , but this erasure never took place ; according to engineer Flood , fellow engineer Pat McCarthy returned to the control room and upon seeing Eno ready to erase the tapes , dropped the tray of tea he was carrying and physically restrained Eno . The studio version of the song was compiled from several different takes . It was one of several songs mixed by Steve Lillywhite in the final months of recording The Joshua Tree . Drummer Larry Mullen , Jr. later said of the song , `` It took so long to get that song right , it was difficult for us to make any sense of it . It only became a truly great song through playing live . On the record , musically , it 's not half the song it is live . '' Composition ( edit ) `` Where the Streets Have No Name '' is played at a tempo of 126 beats per minute . The introduction and outro are played in a 3 / 4 time signature , while the remainder of the song is in a common 4 / 4 signature . The songs opens with an instrumental section , starting with chorale - like sustained synthesiser notes . The guitar fades in after 42 seconds ; this part consists of a repeated `` chiming '' six - note arpeggio . A `` dotted eighth '' delay effect is used to `` play '' each note in the arpeggio twice , thus creating a rich sound . The bass and drums enter at 1 : 10 . The introduction , following a I -- IV -- I -- IV -- vi -- V -- I chord progression , creates a `` wall of sound '' , as described by Mark Butler , against which the vocals emerge after nearly two minutes . The guitar part played for the remainder of the song features The Edge strumming percussive sixteenth notes . The bass and drums continue in regular eighth and sixteenth notes , respectively , while Bono 's vocal performance , in contrast , varies greatly in its timbre , ( `` he sighs ; he moans ; he grunts ; he exhales audibly ; he allows his voice to crack '' ) as well as timing by his usage of rubato to slightly offset the notes he sings from the beat . This development reaches a climax during the first chorus at the line `` burning down love '' ( A -- G -- F ♯ -- D ) ; the melody progresses through a series of scale degrees that lead to the highest note in the song , the A4 at `` burning '' . In later choruses , Bono sings `` blown by the wind '' with the same melody , stretching the same note even longer . After the third chorus , the song 's outro is played , the instrumentation reverting to the same state as it was in the introduction , with a six - note guitar arpeggio played against sustained synthesiser notes . `` ' ( Where ) the Streets Have No Name ' was the perfect introduction . It is one of the most extraordinary ideas , only matched by The Doors ' ' Break on Through ( To the Other Side ) ' as a throw - down to an audience . Do you want to go there ? Because if you do , I 'm ready to go there with you , to that other place . Call it what you like , a place of imagination , where there are no limitations . '' -- Bono Lyrics ( edit ) The lyrics were inspired by a story that Bono heard about the streets of Belfast , Northern Ireland , where a person 's religion and income are evident by the street they live on . He contrasted this with the anonymity he felt when visiting Ethiopia , saying : `` ... the guy in the song recognizes this contrast and thinks about a world where there are n't such divisions , a place where the streets have no name . To me , that 's the way a great rock ' n ' roll concert should be : a place where everyone comes together ... Maybe that 's the dream of all art : to break down the barriers and the divisions between people and touch upon the things that matter the most to us all . '' Bono wrote the lyrics while on a humanitarian visit to Ethiopia with his wife , Ali Hewson ; he first wrote them down on an airsickness bag while staying in a village . According to him , the song is ostensibly about `` Transcendence , elevation , whatever you want to call it . '' Bono , who compared many of his lyrics prior to The Joshua Tree to `` sketches '' , said that `` ' Where the Streets Have No Name ' is more like the U2 of old than any of the other songs on the LP , because it 's a sketch -- I was just trying to sketch a location , maybe a spiritual location , maybe a romantic location . I was trying to sketch a feeling . '' The open - ended nature of the lyrics has led to many interpretations . Journalist Michael Campbell believed the lyrics send `` a message of hope '' and wish for a `` world that is not divided by class , wealth , race , or any other arbitrary criterion '' . With regard to the place Bono was referring to in the song , he said , `` I 'm not sure , really , about that . I used to think it was Belfast ... '' Journalist Niall Stokes believes the title was influenced by Bono 's and his wife Ali 's visit to Ethiopia as volunteer aid - workers . Bono has expressed mixed opinions about the open - ended lyrics : `` I can look at it now and recognize that ( the song ) has one of the most banal couplets in the history of pop music . But it also contains some of the biggest ideas . In a curious way , that seems to work . If you get any way heavy about these things , you do n't communicate . But if you 're flip or throwaway about it , then you do . That 's one of the paradoxes I 've come to terms with . '' Release ( edit ) Originally , the third single from The Joshua Tree was meant to be the song `` Red Hill Mining Town '' , but `` Where the Streets Have No Name '' was released instead , in August 1987 . The single was released on 7 - inch , 12 - inch , cassette and CD single formats . Three B - sides were featured on the single , including `` Race Against Time '' , `` Silver and Gold '' , and `` Sweetest Thing '' , except for the 7 - inch release , which only featured the latter two tracks . The 12 - inch single featured `` Race Against Time '' on side A of the record ( despite being a `` B - side '' ) , and the cassette single featured all four tracks on both sides of the tape . Although not as successful as the album 's first two singles , the song did chart well . In the U.S. , the song peaked at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 11 on the Album Rock Tracks charts . The song reached number four on the UK Singles Chart , and it topped the Irish Singles Chart . Music video ( edit ) The Grammy Award - winning music video , featuring the band 's performance on a Los Angeles rooftop . The video begins with an aerial shot of a block in Los Angeles , and clips of radio broadcasts are heard with disc jockeys stating that U2 is planning on performing a concert downtown and expecting crowds of 30,000 people . Police show up to the set and inform the band 's crew of the security issue that the film shoot is causing , due to the large number of people who are coming to watch the performance . Two minutes into the video , U2 are seen on the roof of a liquor store at the corner of 7th St. and S. Main St. , and perform `` Where the Streets Have No Name '' to a large crowd of people standing in the streets surrounding the building . Towards the end of the song , the police tell the crew that the performance is about to be shut down , and eventually police walk onto the roof while the crowd are booing the police . The video for `` Where the Streets Have No Name '' was directed by Meiert Avis and produced by Michael Hamlyn and Ben Dossett . The band attracted over 1,000 people during the video 's filming , which took place on the rooftop of a liquor store in Downtown Los Angeles on 27 March 1987 . The band 's performance on a rooftop in a public place was a reference to The Beatles ' final concert , as depicted in the film Let It Be . `` The object was to close down the streets . If there 's one thing people in LA hate , it 's streets closing down , and we 've always felt bands should shake things up . We achieved it because the police stopped us filming . Were we worried about being arrested ? Not at the time ... '' -- Adam Clayton During the shoot U2 played an eight - song set , which included four performances of `` Where the Streets Have No Name '' . Prior to filming , a week was spent reinforcing the roof of the liquor store to ensure it would not collapse if it were to be intruded by a group of fans . A backup generator was put on the roof so the shooting could continue in the event that the authorities shut off the power on the primary generator , which happened during filming . The depiction of the police attempting to shut down the filming due to safety concerns actually happened during filming , just as seen in the video . Hamlyn was almost arrested following a confrontation with the police . According to Avis , the events depicted in the video show what actually happened that day `` almost in real time '' , and that `` getting busted was an integral part of the plan . '' Band manager Paul McGuinness revealed in 2007 that much of the confrontation with the police was exaggerated ; the group were hoping to get shut down by the authorities in order to dramatize the music video , but the police continually gave them extensions for shooting the video . In the background of the video is a sign for The Million Dollar Hotel , which was rebuilt to create some interest , in case no one showed up at the film shoot . Although the video is of a live performance , the audio used is from the studio - recorded version of the song . The video won the Grammy Award for Best Performance Music Video at the 1989 Grammy Awards . B - sides ( edit ) `` Race Against Time '' was released on the 12 - inch , cassette , and CD versions of the single . The song developed from the band 's interest in urban funk , and was described by The Edge as `` a kind of Afro - rhythmic piece '' and `` a study in rhythm . '' The bass riff in the song , inspired by the bodhrán , was played by The Edge , but stemmed from some of Clayton 's unused bass parts . Mullen 's drum part was recorded in a single take . The song is primarily an instrumental piece but does contain some lyrics inspired by Bono 's trip to Ethiopia after Live Aid and his witnessing firsthand the famine in occurrence ; these lyrical references include Bono singing in an Ethiopian language and following it with the phrase `` Race against time '' . Bono said of the song , `` It reminds me of the desert . The desert is so empty , but it aches with a strange kind of fullness . '' John Hutchinson of Musician magazine described the song as having an `` African flavour '' and as being reminiscent of Peter Gabriel . The track was used in the Miami Vice episode `` Child 's Play '' , and is the only one of the single 's B - sides that was never played live . `` Silver and Gold '' was written in support of the Artists United Against Apartheid project , which protested the South African apartheid . In 1985 , Bono participated in Steven Van Zandt 's anti-apartheid Sun City project and spent time with Keith Richards and Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones . When Richards and Jagger played blues , Bono was embarrassed by his lack of familiarity with the genre , as most of U2 's musical knowledge began with punk rock in their youth in the mid-1970s . Bono realised that U2 `` had no tradition '' , and he felt as if they `` were from outer space '' . This inspired him to write the blues - influenced song `` Silver and Gold '' , which he recorded with Richards and Ronnie Wood . It was re-recorded by U2 for the `` Where the Streets Have No Name '' single while the band returned to Dublin during in May 1987 during a break between the first and second legs of The Joshua Tree Tour . The song was described by Musician as `` tough and raw , with Bono in husky and confident voice , underpinned by a sinuous bass line , and with The Edge demonstrating his newfound prowess in blues - based guitar . '' `` Silver and Gold '' was played live on The Joshua Tree Tour several times , one performance of which was featured on the band 's 1988 album and rockumentary , Rattle and Hum . Both the studio recording and the Sun City versions were later featured on the bonus disc of the 20th anniversary edition of The Joshua Tree . The studio version was also included on the limited edition B - sides bonus disk of the band 's first compilation album , The Best of 1980 -- 1990 . `` Sweetest Thing '' was written by Bono as an apology to his wife for forgetting her birthday . The song opens with a short piano piece before the rest of the band begins to play . Some of Bono 's lyrics have been described as reminiscent of John Lennon . The Edge described it as `` a beautiful song ... which is pop as it should be -- not produced out of existence , but pop produced with a real intimacy and purity '' , also noting that `` It 's very new for us . '' It was re-recorded with some lyrical alterations and released in 1998 as a single in its own right for The Best of 1980 -- 1990 . Hot Press editor Niall Stokes stated that this track , along with `` Race Against Time '' , is `` an indicator of what U2 might have made instead of The Joshua Tree . '' Reception ( edit ) Upon the release of The Joshua Tree , critics praised `` Where the Streets Have No Name '' . Steve Morse of The Boston Globe noted the `` bell - like tones from the Edge fram ( e ) a search for heaven '' and along with the subsequent track on the album , `` I Still Have n't Found What I 'm Looking For '' , these songs showed how the group were `` pilgrims still on a quest ; not preachers who claim to have found answers '' . The Bergen Record echoed these sentiments , saying the tracks demonstrated how the band was on a personal and spiritual quest . Rolling Stone called it `` assertive rock '' in their review of The Joshua Tree . The San Diego Union - Tribune said of `` Where the Streets Have No Name '' , `` the music charges , like someone fleeing for life '' . The Washington Post said the track is `` a bit oblique lyrically , but the implications are clear in Bono 's resolute delivery , Dave ( the Edge ) Evan 's quavering guitar , Adam Clayton 's cathedral bass and Larry Mullen 's rolling thunder drums '' . NME lauded the song as the opening track by saying the album `` starts by spitting furiously '' . The publication praised Bono 's impassioned singing and The Edge 's guitar playing , which transformed the instrument into `` something more than an endlessly abused piece of wood '' . The review commented that the `` last ten seconds are breathtakingly beautiful '' . The Rocket wrote that the song builds a `` wall of sound '' that Bono 's vocals cut through with a `` wail of desperation , as the lyrics agonize the need for personal spirituality '' . The reviewer compared the opening riff to Simple Minds ' `` Ghostdancing '' . Reviewing The Joshua Tree , Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic called the song an `` epic opener '' . The service 's Steve Huey , in a review of the song , praised its `` insistent , propulsive rhythmic drive and anthemic chorus '' , qualities he singled out for making it a fan favorite . He called the song the `` perfect album - opener '' , crediting the `` slow build of its arrangement toward a climactic peak '' . Huey also called Bono 's delivery `` passionate and grandiose '' and `` his commitment to the material unshakable '' . He believed the combination of his vocals and the band 's `` sonic power '' is what gave U2 its `` tremendous force '' . Live performances ( edit ) Red lighting across all the video screens has become a recurring feature of live performances of the song , shown here from a 1992 Zoo TV Tour show , a 2009 360 ° Tour show , and a Joshua Tree Tour 2017 show `` Where the Streets Have No Name '' made its concert debut on 2 April 1987 in Tempe , Arizona on the opening night of The Joshua Tree Tour . A version featuring an extended introduction was performed on the closing nights of the third leg of The Joshua Tree tour , again in Tempe , Arizona , on December 19 & 20 , 1987 , and footage from the performance was featured in the Rattle and Hum film . The song has since been played at nearly every full - length concert that U2 has headlined , totaling upwards of 900 performances as of 2017 . The song is widely regarded as one of the group 's most popular live songs . Bono said of it , `` We can be in the middle of the worst gig in our lives , but when we go into that song , everything changes . The audience is on its feet , singing along with every word . It 's like God suddenly walks through the room . '' On The Joshua Tree Tour , `` Where the Streets Have No Name '' was most often used to open concerts . Fans and critics responded favourably to the song in a live setting . The San Diego Union - Tribune wrote that , `` From the lofty sonic opening strains of ( the song ) , this audience was up , ecstatic and inflamed . '' NME wrote that the song is one such occasion where `` the power afforded their songs is scary '' , noting that during the song 's opening , `` the arena ERUPTS '' . In other reviews , the song was called : `` uplifting '' , `` exhilarating '' , and `` powerful '' . Out of the 109 shows during The Joshua Tree Tour , `` Streets '' was played at all except 12 of the concerts . During the Lovetown Tour which took place in 1989 and the beginning of 1990 , `` Streets '' was only left out of the set list at one of the 47 concerts . The song was performed at every show on the 1992 -- 1993 Zoo TV Tour . Concerts from this tour were elaborate multimedia spectacles that Bono performed as a variety of characters , but for the end of the main set , the group reverted to playing classics , including `` Where the Streets Have No Name '' , straight . Some of these performances of the song were accompanied by footage of the group in the desert from The Joshua Tree 's photo shoot . The video was speeded up for humorous effect -- NME described the effect as giving it a `` silly , Charlie Chaplin quality '' -- and Bono often acknowledged his younger self on the video screens . This video would make a return during performances on the 2010 and 2011 legs of the U2 360 ° Tour . Some of the Zoo TV performances of the song had a more electronic dance music arrangement that bore a resemblance to the Pet Shop Boys ' synthpop cover of the song ( titled `` Where the Streets Have No Name ( I Ca n't Take My Eyes off You ) '' ) . Bono parodied this by occasionally adopting the deadpan vocal style used in the Pet Shop Boys ' interpretation . Critics welcomed the song in the group 's set list : The Independent said the song `` induces instant euphoria , as U2 do what they 're best at , slipping into epic rock mode , playing music made for the arena '' . In two other local newspaper reviews , critics praised the song 's inclusion in a sequence of greatest hits . For the PopMart Tour of 1997 -- 1998 , U2 returned to the electronic dance arrangement they occasionally played on the Zoo TV Tour . The set 's massive video screen displayed a video that Hot Press described as an `` astonishing , 2001 - style trip into the heart of a swirling , psychedelic tunnel that sucks the audience in towards a horizontal monolith '' . Near the end of the song , peace doves were shown on the screen and bright beams of light flanking the set 's golden arch were projected upwards . Hot Press said the effect transformed the stadium into a `` UFO landing site '' . Shortly before the third leg of the Elevation Tour , the September 11 attacks occurred in New York City and Washington D.C. During the band 's first show in New York City following the attacks , the band performed `` Where the Streets Have No Name '' , and when the stage lights illuminated the audience , the band saw tears streaming down the faces of many fans . The experience was one inspiration for the song `` City of Blinding Lights '' . The band paid tribute to the 9 / 11 victims during their performance of the song at the Super Bowl XXXVI halftime show on 3 February 2002 . The performance featured the names of the September 11 victims projected onto a large white banner behind the band , and concluded with Bono opening up his jacket to reveal the Star Spangled Banner . U2 's appearance was later ranked number 1 on Sports Illustrated 's list of `` Top 10 Super Bowl Halftime Shows '' . For the Vertigo Tour , the group originally considered dropping the song from their set lists , but Mullen and Clayton successfully argued against this . All 131 of the Vertigo Tour concerts featured a performance of the song , which were accompanied by the stage 's LED video curtains displaying African flags . On the tour 's opening night , this reminded Bono that he had originally written the lyrics in an Ethiopian village . He thought this visual accompaniment made the song come full circle , saying , `` And here it was , nearly twenty years later , coming back to Africa , all the stuff about parched lands and deserts making sense for the first time . '' The song was also played at the preview screening of the band 's concert film U2 3D at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival . At the Glastonbury Festival 2010 , The Edge accompanied rock band Muse for a live cover version of the track , later playing it with U2 while headlining Glastonbury in 2011 . During the Joshua Tree Tour 2017 , `` Where the Streets Have No Name '' leads off the middle act of the show , the sequential playing of the Joshua Tree album . It is accompanied by the first of several short films depicting desert landscapes that were created by photographer Anton Corbijn . Live performances of `` Where the Streets Have No Name '' appear in the concert video releases Rattle and Hum , Zoo TV : Live from Sydney , and PopMart : Live from Mexico City , as well as the respective audio releases of the latter two concerts , Zoo TV Live and Hasta la Vista Baby ! U2 Live from Mexico City . A second version from the PopMart Tour was featured on Please : PopHeart Live EP , and later on the U.S. `` Please '' single . A live recording from Boston during the Elevation Tour was featured in the concert film Elevation 2001 : Live from Boston , and on the `` Walk On '' and `` Electrical Storm '' singles . The concert video and album U2 Go Home : Live from Slane Castle , Ireland featured another performance from the Elevation Tour , and later performances were featured in the concert films Vertigo 2005 : Live from Chicago and U2 3D ( Vertigo Tour ) , and U2 360 ° at the Rose Bowl ( U2 360 ° Tour ) . The 2004 digital album , Live from the Point Depot , contains a performance from the Lovetown Tour , only available as part of The Complete U2 digital box set . Legacy ( edit ) In 2002 , Q magazine named `` Where the Streets Have No Name '' the 16th - `` most exciting tune ever '' . The following year , Q ranked the song at number 459 in a special edition titled `` 1001 Best Songs Ever '' . Three years later , the magazine 's readers voted the track the 43rd - greatest song in history . Rolling Stone ranked the song at number 28 on its list of the `` 100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time . '' In a 2010 poll by fan site @ U2 , approximately 29 % of 4,800 respondents named `` Where the Streets Have No Name '' as their favourite song from The Joshua Tree , ranking it as the most popular song from the album .

-3587127932437371995 | Pregnancy test | Pregnancy test - wikipedia Pregnancy test Pregnancy test Medical diagnostics A modern pregnancy test MeSH D011258 MedlinePlus 003432 A pregnancy test attempts to determine whether or not a woman is pregnant . Indicative markers are found in blood and urine , and pregnancy tests require sampling one of these substances . The first of these markers to be discovered , human chorionic gonadotropin ( hCG ) , was discovered in 1930 to be produced by the syncytiotrophoblast cells of the fertilised ova ( eggs ) . While hCG is a reliable marker of pregnancy , it can not be detected until after implantation ; this results in false negatives if the test is performed during the very early stages of pregnancy . HCG can be detected via blood 8 days after fertilization of the egg , and in the urine 10 days after . Obstetric ultrasonography may also be used to detect pregnancy . Obstetric ultrasonography was first practiced in the 1960s ; the first home test kit for hCG was invented in 1968 . The kits went on the market in the United States and Europe in the mid-1970s . Contents 1 Modern tests 2 Accuracy 2.1 Timing of test 2.2 False positives 3 Viability 4 History 5 See also 6 References 7 External links Modern tests ( edit ) The test for pregnancy which can give the quickest result after fertilisation is a rosette inhibition assay for early pregnancy factor ( EPF ) . EPF can be detected in blood within 48 hours of fertilization . However , testing for EPF is expensive and time - consuming . Most chemical tests for pregnancy look for the presence of the beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin ( hCG ) in the blood or urine . hCG can be detected in urine or blood after implantation , which occurs six to twelve days after fertilization . Quantitative blood ( serum beta ) tests can detect hCG levels as low as 1 mIU / mL , while urine test strips have published detection thresholds of 10 mIU / mL to 100 mIU / mL , depending on the brand . Qualitative blood tests generally have a threshold of 25 mIU / mL , and so are less sensitive than some available home pregnancy tests . Most home pregnancy tests are based on lateral - flow technology . With obstetric ultrasonography the gestational sac sometimes can be visualized as early as four and a half weeks of gestation ( approximately two and a half weeks after ovulation ) and the yolk sac at about five weeks ' gestation . The embryo can be observed and measured by about five and a half weeks . The heartbeat may be seen as early as six weeks , and is usually visible by seven weeks ' gestation . Accuracy ( edit ) The control line of this pregnancy test is blank , making the test invalid The control line on the left of this pregnancy test is visible , suggesting that the test result is valid . A pale purple line has also appeared on the right hand side ( the test line ) which clearly signifies that the woman is pregnant A systematic review published in 1998 showed that home pregnancy test kits , when used by experienced technicians , are almost as accurate as professional laboratory testing ( 97.4 % ) . When used by consumers , however , the accuracy fell to 75 % : the review authors noted that many users misunderstood or failed to follow the instructions included in the kits . Improper usage may cause both false negatives and false positives . Timing of test ( edit ) False negative readings can occur when testing is done too early . Quantitative blood tests and the most sensitive urine tests usually begin to detect hCG shortly after implantation , which can occur anywhere from 6 to 12 days after ovulation . hCG levels continue to rise through the first 20 weeks of pregnancy , so the chances of false negative test results diminish with time ( gestation age ) . Less sensitive urine tests and qualitative blood tests may not detect pregnancy until three or four days after implantation . Menstruation occurs on average 14 days after ovulation , so the likelihood of a false negative is low once a menstrual period is late . Ovulation may not occur at a predictable time in the menstrual cycle , however . A number of factors may cause an unexpectedly early or late ovulation , even for women with a history of regular menstrual cycles . Using ovulation predictor kits ( OPKs ) , or charting the fertility signs of cervical mucus or basal body temperature give a more accurate idea of when to test than day - counting alone . The accuracy of a pregnancy test is most closely related to the day of ovulation , not of the act of intercourse or insemination that caused the pregnancy . It is normal for sperm to live up to five days in the fallopian tubes , waiting for ovulation to occur . It could take up to 12 further days for implantation to occur , meaning even the most sensitive pregnancy tests may give false negatives up to 17 days after the act that caused the pregnancy . Because some home pregnancy tests have high hCG detection thresholds ( up to 100 mIU / mL ) , it may take an additional three or four days for hCG to rise to levels detectable by these tests -- meaning false negatives may occur up to three weeks after the act of intercourse or insemination that causes pregnancy . False positives ( edit ) False positive test results may occur for several reasons , including errors of test application , use of drugs containing the hCG molecule , and non-pregnant production of the hCG molecule . Urine tests can be falsely positive in those that are taking the medications : chlorpromazine , phenothiazines and methadone among others . Spurious evaporation lines may appear on many home pregnancy tests if read after the suggested 3 -- 5 minute window or reaction time , independent of an actual pregnancy . False positives may also appear on tests used past their expiration date . A woman who has been given an hCG injection as part of infertility treatment will test positive on pregnancy tests that assay hCG , regardless of her actual pregnancy status . However , some infertility drugs ( e.g. , clomid ) do not contain the hCG hormone . Some diseases of the liver , cancers , and other medical conditions may produce elevated hCG and thus cause a false positive pregnancy test . These include choriocarcinoma and other germ cell tumors , IgA deficiencies , heterophile antibodies , enterocystoplasties , gestational trophoblastic diseases ( GTD ) , and gestational trophoblastic neoplasms . Viability ( edit ) Pregnancy tests may be used to determine the viability of a pregnancy . Serial quantitative blood tests may be done , usually 3 -- 4 days apart . Below an hCG level of 1,200 mIU / ml the hCG usually doubles every 48 -- 72 hours , though a rise of 50 -- 60 % is still considered normal . Between 1,200 and 6,000 mIU / ml serum the hCG usually takes 72 -- 90 hours to double , and above 6,000 mIU / ml , the hCG often takes more than four days to double . Failure to increase normally may indicate an increased risk of miscarriage or a possible ectopic pregnancy . Ultrasound is also a common tool for determining viability . A lower than expected heart rate or missed development milestones may indicate a problem with the pregnancy . Diagnosis should not be made from a single ultrasound , however . Inaccurate estimations of fetal age and inaccuracies inherent in ultrasonic examination may cause a scan to be interpreted negatively . If results from the first ultrasound scan indicate a problem , repeating the scan 7 -- 10 days later is reasonable practice . History ( edit ) Jan Steen 's The Doctor 's Visit . Included in this 17th - century painting is a depiction of a dubious pregnancy test : a ribbon dipped in the patient 's urine and then burned . Records of attempts at pregnancy testing have been found as far back as the ancient Greek and ancient Egyptian cultures . The ancient Egyptians watered bags of wheat and barley with the urine of a possibly pregnant woman . Germination indicated pregnancy . The type of grain that sprouted was taken as an indicator of the fetus 's sex . Hippocrates suggested that a woman who had missed her period should drink a solution of honey in water at bedtime : resulting abdominal distention and cramps would indicate the presence of a pregnancy . Avicenna and many physicians after him in the Middle Ages performed uroscopy , a nonscientific method to evaluate urine . Selmar Aschheim and Bernhard Zondek introduced testing based on the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin ( hCG ) in 1928 . Early studies of hCG had concluded that it was produced by the pituitary gland . In the 1930s , Georgeanna Jones discovered that hCG was produced not by the pituitary gland , but by the placenta . This discovery was important in relying on hCG as an early marker of pregnancy . In the Aschheim and Zondek test , an infantile female mouse was injected subcutaneously with urine of the person to be tested , and the mouse later was killed and dissected . Presence of ovulation indicated that the urine contained hCG and meant that the person was pregnant . A similar test was developed using immature rabbits . Here , too , killing the animal to check her ovaries was necessary . An improvement arrived with the frog test , introduced by Lancelot Hogben , which still was used in the 1950s and allowed the frog to remain alive and be used repeatedly : a female frog was injected with serum or urine of the patient ; if the frog produced eggs within the next 24 hours , the test was positive . This was called the Bufo test , named after the toad genus Bufo , which was originally used for the test . Other species of toads and frogs have been used later on . Hormonal pregnancy tests such as Primodos and Duogynon were used in the 1960s and 1970s in the UK and Germany . These tests involved taking a dosed amount of hormones , and observing the response a few days later . A pregnant woman does not react , as she is producing the hormones in pregnancy ; a woman not pregnant responds to the absence of the hormone by beginning a new menstrual cycle . While the test was ( is ) generally considered accurate , research advancements have replaced it with simpler techniques . Immunologic pregnancy tests were introduced in 1960 when Wide and Gemzell presented a test based on in - vitro hemagglutination inhibition . This was a first step away from in - vivo pregnancy testing and initiated a series of improvements in pregnancy testing leading to the contemporary at - home testing . Direct measurement of antigens , such as hCG , was made possible after the invention of the radioimmunoassay in 1959 . Radioimmunoassays require sophisticated apparatus and special radiation precautions and are expensive . Organon International obtained the first patent on a home pregnancy test in 1969 , two years after product designer Margaret Crane noticed that the laboratory testing procedure was relatively simple and made a prototype . The product became available in Canada in 1971 , and the United States in 1977 , after delays caused by concerns over sexual morality and the ability of women to perform test and cope with the results without a doctor . Another home pregnancy testing kit was based on the work of Judith Vaitukaitis and Glenn Braunstein , who developed a sensitive hCG assay at the National Institutes of Health . That test went onto the market in 1978 . In the 1970s , the discovery of monoclonal antibodies led to the development of the relatively simple and cheap immunoassays , such as agglutination - inhibition - based assays and sandwich ELISA , used in modern home pregnancy tests . Tests are now so cheap that they can be mass - produced in a general publication and used for advertising .

7037521647635663867 | Nuclear power in the United States | Nuclear power in the United States - Wikipedia Nuclear power in the United States Jump to : navigation , search NRC regions and locations of nuclear reactors , 2008 Net electrical generation from US nuclear power plants 1949 -- 2011 Nuclear power compared to other sources of electricity in the US , 1949 -- 2011 Nuclear power in the United States is provided by 99 commercial reactors with a net summer capacity of 100,350 megawatts ( MW ) , 65 pressurized water reactors and 34 boiling water reactors . In 2016 they produced a total of 805.3 terawatt - hours of electricity , which accounted for 19.7 % of the nation 's total electric energy generation . In 2016 , nuclear energy comprised nearly 60 percent of U.S. emission - free generation . As of September 2017 , there are two new reactors under construction with a gross electrical capacity of 2,500 MW , while 34 reactors have been permanently shut down . The United States is the world 's largest producer of commercial nuclear power , and in 2013 generated 33 % of the world 's nuclear electricity . As of October 2014 , the NRC has granted license renewals providing a 20 - year extension to a total of 74 reactors . In early 2014 , the NRC prepared to receive the first applications of license renewal beyond 60 years of reactor life , as early as 2017 , a process which by law requires public involvement . Licenses for 22 reactors are due to expire before the end of the next decade if no renewals are granted . The Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant was the most recent nuclear power plant to be decommissioned on December 29 , 2014 . Another four aging reactors were permanently closed in 2013 before their licenses expired because of high maintenance and repair costs at a time when natural gas prices have fallen : San Onofre 2 and 3 in California , Crystal River 3 in Florida , and Kewaunee in Wisconsin , and New York State is seeking to close Indian Point in Buchanan , 30 miles from New York City . Most reactors began construction by 1974 ; following the Three Mile Island accident in 1979 and changing economics , many planned projects were canceled . More than 100 orders for nuclear power reactors , many already under construction , were canceled in the 1970s and 1980s , bankrupting some companies . Up until 2013 , there had also been no ground - breaking on new nuclear reactors at existing power plants since 1977 . Then in 2012 , the NRC approved construction of four new reactors at existing nuclear plants . Construction of the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Generating Station Units 2 and 3 began on March 9 , 2013 but was abandoned on July 31 , 2017 . On March 12 , 2013 construction began on the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Units 3 and 4 , but has been stalled as the reactor supplier Westinghouse filed for bankruptcy protection on March 29 , 2017 . On October 19 , 2016 TVA 's Unit - 2 reactor at the Watts Bar Nuclear Generating Station became the first US reactor to enter commercial operation since 1996 . There was a revival of interest in nuclear power in the 2000s , with talk of a `` nuclear renaissance '' , supported particularly by the Nuclear Power 2010 Program . A number of applications were made , but facing economic challenges , and later in the wake of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster , most of these projects have been cancelled , and as of 2012 , `` nuclear industry officials said in 2012 they expect five new reactors to enter service by 2020 -- Southern 's two Vogtle reactors , two at Summer in South Carolina and one at Watts Bar in Tennessee '' ; these are all at existing plants . As of August 1 , 2017 , there are construction delays at Vogtle and construction at Summer has been abandoned .

President Jimmy Carter leaving Three Mile Island for Middletown , Pennsylvania , April 1 , 1979 Unexpectedly high costs in the Second World War nuclear weapons program created `` ... pressure on federal officials to develop a civilian nuclear power industry that could help justify the government 's considerable expenditures '' . Research into the peaceful uses of nuclear materials began in the United States under the auspices of the Atomic Energy Commission , created by the United States Atomic Energy Act of 1946 . Medical scientists were interested in the effect of radiation upon the fast - growing cells of cancer , and materials were given to them , while the military services led research into other peaceful uses . The Atomic Energy Act of 1954 encouraged private corporations to build nuclear reactors and a significant learning phase followed with many early partial core meltdowns and accidents at experimental reactors and research facilities . This led to the introduction of the Price - Anderson Act in 1957 , which was `` ... an implicit admission that nuclear power provided risks that producers were unwilling to assume without federal backing . '' The Price - Anderson Act `` ... shields nuclear utilities , vendors and suppliers against liability claims in the event of a catastrophic accident by imposing an upper limit on private sector liability . '' Without such protection , private companies were unwilling to become involved . No other technology in the history of American industry has enjoyed such continuing blanket protection . Power reactor research ( edit ) Argonne National Laboratory was assigned by the United States Atomic Energy Commission the lead role in developing commercial nuclear energy beginning in the 1940s . Between then and the turn of the 21st century , Argonne designed , built , and operated fourteen reactors at its site southwest of Chicago , and another fourteen reactors at the National Reactors Testing Station in Idaho . These reactors included initial experiments and test reactors that were the progenitors of today 's pressurized water reactors ( including naval reactors ) , boiling water reactors , heavy water reactors , graphite - moderated reactors , and liquid - metal cooled fast reactors , one of which was the first reactor in the world to generate electricity . Argonne and a number of other AEC contractors built a total of 52 reactors at the National Reactor Testing Station . Two were never operated ; except for the Neutron Radiography Facility , all the other reactors were shut down by 2000 . In the early afternoon of December 20 , 1951 , Argonne director Walter Zinn and fifteen other Argonne staff members witnessed a row of four light bulbs light up in a nondescript brick building in the eastern Idaho desert . Electricity from a generator connected to Experimental Breeder Reactor I ( EBR - I ) flowed through them . This was the first time that a usable amount of electrical power had ever been generated from nuclear fission . Only days afterward , the reactor produced all the electricity needed for the entire EBR complex . One ton of natural uranium can produce more than 40 gigawatt - hours of electricity -- this is equivalent to burning 16,000 tons of coal or 80,000 barrels of oil . More central to EBR - I 's purpose than just generating electricity , however , was its role in proving that a reactor could create more nuclear fuel as a byproduct than it consumed during operation . In 1953 , tests verified that this was the case . The US Navy took the lead , seeing the opportunity to have ships that could steam around the world at high speeds without refueling as being necessary for several decades , and the possibility of turning submarines into true full - time underwater vehicles . So , the Navy sent their `` man in Engineering '' , then Captain Hyman Rickover , well known for his great technical talents in electrical engineering and propulsion systems in addition to his skill in project management , to the AEC to start the Naval Reactors project . Rickover 's work with the AEC led to the development of the Pressurized Water Reactor ( PWR ) , the first naval model of which was installed in the submarine USS Nautilus . This made the boat capable of operating under water full - time -- demonstrating this ability by reaching the North Pole and surfacing through the Polar ice cap . Start of commercial nuclear power ( edit ) From the successful naval reactor program , plans were quickly developed for the use of reactors to generate steam to drive turbines turning generators . In April 1957 , the SM - 1 Nuclear Reactor in Fort Belvoir Va. was the first atomic power generator to go online and produce electrical energy to the U.S. power grid . On May 26 , 1958 the first commercial nuclear power plant in the United States , Shippingport Atomic Power Station , was opened by President Dwight D. Eisenhower as part of his Atoms for Peace program . As nuclear power continued to grow throughout the 1960s , the Atomic Energy Commission anticipated that more than 1,000 reactors would be operating in the United States by 2000 . As the industry continued to expand , the Atomic Energy Commission 's development and regulatory functions were separated in 1974 ; the Department of Energy absorbed research and development , while the regulatory branch was spun off and turned into an independent commission known as the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ( USNRC or simply NRC ) . Opposition to nuclear power ( edit ) There has been considerable opposition to the use of nuclear power in the U.S. The first U.S. reactor to face public opposition was Enrico Fermi Nuclear Generating Station in 1957 . It was built approximately 30 miles from Detroit and there was opposition from the United Auto Workers Union . Pacific Gas & Electric planned to build the first commercially viable nuclear power plant in the USA at Bodega Bay , north of San Francisco . The proposal was controversial and conflict with local citizens began in 1958 . The conflict ended in 1964 , with the forced abandonment of plans for the power plant . Historian Thomas Wellock traces the birth of the anti-nuclear movement to the controversy over Bodega Bay . Attempts to build a nuclear power plant in Malibu were similar to those at Bodega Bay and were also abandoned . Nuclear accidents continued into the 1960s with a small test reactor exploding at the Stationary Low - Power Reactor Number One in Idaho Falls in January 1961 and a partial meltdown at the Enrico Fermi Nuclear Generating Station in Michigan in 1966 . In his 1963 book Change , Hope and the Bomb , David Lilienthal criticized nuclear developments , particularly the nuclear industry 's failure to address the nuclear waste question . J. Samuel Walker , in his book Three Mile Island : A Nuclear Crisis in Historical Perspective , explains that the growth of the nuclear industry in the U.S. occurred in the 1970s as the environmental movement was being formed . Environmentalists saw the advantages of nuclear power in reducing air pollution , but were critical of nuclear technology on other grounds . They were concerned about nuclear accidents , nuclear proliferation , high cost of nuclear power plants , nuclear terrorism and radioactive waste disposal . There were many anti-nuclear protests in the United States which captured national public attention during the 1970s and 1980s . These included the well - known Clamshell Alliance protests at Seabrook Station Nuclear Power Plant and the Abalone Alliance protests at Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant , where thousands of protesters were arrested . Other large protests followed the 1979 Three Mile Island accident . In New York City on September 23 , 1979 , almost 200,000 people attended a protest against nuclear power . Anti-nuclear power protests preceded the shutdown of the Shoreham , Yankee Rowe , Rancho Seco , Maine Yankee , and about a dozen other nuclear power plants . Over-commitment and cancellations ( edit ) See also : List of canceled nuclear plants in the United States Net summer electrical generation capacity of US nuclear power plants , 1949 -- 2011 Average capacity factor of US nuclear power plants , 1957 -- 2011 By the mid-1970s it became clear that nuclear power would not grow nearly as quickly as once believed . Cost overruns were sometimes a factor of ten above original industry estimates , and became a major problem . For the 75 nuclear power reactors built from 1966 to 1977 , cost overruns averaged 207 percent . Opposition and problems were galvanized by the Three Mile Island accident in 1979 . Over-commitment to nuclear power brought about the financial collapse of the Washington Public Power Supply System , a public agency which undertook to build five large nuclear power plants in the 1970s . By 1983 , cost overruns and delays , along with a slowing of electricity demand growth , led to cancellation of two WPPSS plants and a construction halt on two others . Moreover , WPPSS defaulted on $2.25 billion of municipal bonds , which is one of the largest municipal bond defaults in U.S. history . The court case that followed took nearly a decade to resolve . Eventually , more than 120 reactor orders were cancelled , and the construction of new reactors ground to a halt . Al Gore has commented on the historical record and reliability of nuclear power in the United States : Of the 253 nuclear power reactors originally ordered in the United States from 1953 to 2008 , 48 percent were canceled , 11 percent were prematurely shut down , 14 percent experienced at least a one - year - or - more outage , and 27 percent are operating without having a year - plus outage . Thus , only about one fourth of those ordered , or about half of those completed , are still operating and have proved relatively reliable . Amory Lovins has also commented on the historical record of nuclear power in the United States : Of all 132 U.S. nuclear plants built ( 52 % of the 253 originally ordered ) , 21 % were permanently and prematurely closed due to reliability or cost problems , while another 27 % have completely failed for a year or more at least once . The surviving U.S. nuclear plants produce ~ 90 % of their full - time full - load potential , but even they are not fully dependable . Even reliably operating nuclear plants must shut down , on average , for 39 days every 17 months for refueling and maintenance , and unexpected failures do occur too . A cover story in the February 11 , 1985 , issue of Forbes magazine commented on the overall management of the nuclear power program in the United States : The failure of the U.S. nuclear power program ranks as the largest managerial disaster in business history , a disaster on a monumental scale ... only the blind , or the biased , can now think that the money has been well spent . It is a defeat for the U.S. consumer and for the competitiveness of U.S. industry , for the utilities that undertook the program and for the private enterprise system that made it possible . Three Mile Island and after ( edit ) The NRC reported `` ( ... the Three Mile Island accident ... ) was the most serious in U.S. commercial nuclear power plant operating history , even though it led to no deaths or injuries to plant workers or members of the nearby community . '' The World Nuclear Association reports that `` ... more than a dozen major , independent studies have assessed the radiation releases and possible effects on the people and the environment around TMI since the 1979 accident at TMI - 2 . The most recent was a 13 - year study on 32,000 people . None has found any adverse health effects such as cancers which might be linked to the accident . '' Other nuclear power incidents within the US ( defined as safety - related events in civil nuclear power facilities between INES Levels 1 and 3 include those at the Davis - Besse Nuclear Power Plant , which was the source of two of the top five highest conditional core damage frequency nuclear incidents in the United States since 1979 , according to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission . Despite the concerns which arose among the public after the Three Mile Island incident , the accident highlights the success of the reactor 's safety systems . The radioactivity released as a result of the accident was almost entirely confined within the reinforced concrete containment structure . These containment structures , found at all nuclear power plants , were designed to successfully trap radioactive material in the event of a melt down or accident . At Three Mile Island , the containment structures operated exactly as it was designed to do , emerging successful in containing any radioactive energy . The low levels of radioactivity released post incident is considered harmless , resulting in zero injuries and deaths of residents living in proximity to the plant . Despite many technical studies which asserted that the probability of a severe nuclear accident was low , numerous surveys showed that the public remained `` very deeply distrustful and uneasy about nuclear power '' . Some commentators have suggested that the public 's consistently negative ratings of nuclear power are reflective of the industry 's unique connection with nuclear weapons : ( One ) reason why nuclear power is seen differently to other technologies lies in its parentage and birth . Nuclear energy was conceived in secrecy , born of war , and first revealed to the world in horror . No matter how many proponents try to separate the peaceful atom from the weapon 's atom , the connection is firmly embedded in the mind of the public . Several US nuclear power plants closed well before their design lifetimes , due to successful campaigns by anti-nuclear activist groups . These include Rancho Seco in 1989 in California and Trojan in 1992 in Oregon . Humboldt Bay in California closed in 1976 , 13 years after geologists discovered it was built on a fault ( the Little Salmon Fault ) . Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant was completed but never operated commercially as an authorized Emergency Evacuation Plan could not be agreed on due the political climate after the Three Mile Island accident and Chernobyl disaster . The last permanent closure of a US nuclear power plant was in 1997 . US nuclear reactors were originally licensed to operate for 40 - year periods . In the 1980s , the NRC determined that there were no technical issues that would preclude longer service . Over half of US nuclear reactors are over 30 years old and almost all are over twenty years old . As of 2011 , more than 60 reactors have received 20 - year extensions to their licensed lifetimes . The average capacity factor for all US reactors has improved from below 60 % in the 1970s and 1980s , to 92 % in 2007 , After the Three Mile Island accident , NRC - issued reactor construction permits , which had averaged more than 12 per year from 1967 through 1978 , came to an abrupt halt ; no permits were issued between 1979 and 2012 ( in 2012 , four planned new reactors received construction permits ) . Many permitted reactors were never built , or the projects were abandoned . Those that were completed after Three Mile island experienced a much longer time lag from construction permit to starting of operations . The Nuclear Regulatory Commission itself described its regulatory oversight of the long - delayed Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant as `` a paradigm of fragmented and uncoordinated government decision making , '' and `` a system strangling itself and the economy in red tape . '' The number of operating power reactors in the US peaked at 112 in 1991 , far fewer than the 177 that received construction permits . By 1998 the number of working reactors declined to 104 , where it remains as of 2013 . The loss of electrical generation from the eight fewer reactors since 1991 has been offset by power uprates of generating capacity at existing reactors . Despite the problems following Three Mile Island , output of nuclear - generated electricity in the US grew steadily , more than tripling over the next three decades : from 255 billion kilowatt - hours in 1979 ( the year of the Three Mile Island accident ) , to 806 billion kilowatt - hours in 2007 . Part of the increase was due to the greater number of operating reactors , which increased by 51 % : from 69 reactors in 1979 , to 104 in 2007 . Another cause was a large increase in the capacity factor over that period . In 1978 , nuclear power plants generated electricity at only 64 % of their rated output capacity . Performance suffered even further during and after Three Mile Island , as a series of new safety regulations from 1979 through the mid-1980s forced operators to repeatedly shut down reactors for required retrofits . It was not until 1990 that the average capacity factor of US nuclear plants returned to the level of 1978 . The capacity factor continued to rise , until 2001 . Since 2001 , US nuclear power plants have consistently delivered electric power at about 90 % of their rated capacity . In 2016 , the number of power plants was at 100 with 4 under construction . Effects of Fukushima ( edit ) Following the 2011 Japanese nuclear accidents , the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has announced it will launch a comprehensive safety review of the 104 nuclear power reactors across the United States , at the request of President Obama . A total of 45 groups and individuals had formally asked the NRC to suspend all licensing and other activities at 21 proposed nuclear reactor projects in 15 states until the NRC had completed a thorough post-Fukushima reactor crisis examination . The petitioners also asked the NRC to supplement its own investigation by establishing an independent commission comparable to that set up in the wake of the serious , though less severe , 1979 Three Mile Island accident . An industry observer noted that post-Fukushima costs were likely to go up for both current and new nuclear power plants , due to increased requirements for on - site spent fuel management and elevated design basis threats . License extensions for existing reactors will face additional scrutiny , with outcomes depending on plants meeting new requirements , and some extensions already granted for more than 60 of the 100 operating U.S. reactors could be revisited . On - site storage , consolidated long - term storage , and geological disposal of spent fuel is `` likely to be reevaluated in a new light because of the Fukushima storage pool experience '' . Mark Cooper suggested that the cost of nuclear power , which already had risen sharply in 2010 and 2011 , could `` climb another 50 percent due to tighter safety oversight and regulatory delays in the wake of the reactor calamity in Japan '' . In 2011 , London - based bank HSBC said : `` With Three Mile Island and Fukushima as a backdrop , the US public may find it difficult to support major nuclear new build and we expect that no new plant extensions will be granted either . Thus we expect the clean energy standard under discussion in US legislative chambers will see a far greater emphasis on gas and renewables plus efficiency '' . The Obama administration `` continues to support the expansion of nuclear power in the United States , despite the crisis in Japan '' . Competitiveness problems ( edit ) In May 2015 , a senior vice president of General Atomics stated that the U.S. nuclear industry was struggling due low U.S. fossil fuel prices , partly due to the rapid development of shale gas , and high financing costs for nuclear plants . In July 2016 Toshiba withdrew the U.S. design certification renewal for its Advanced Boiling Water Reactor because `` it has become increasingly clear that energy price declines in the US prevent Toshiba from expecting additional opportunities for ABWR construction projects '' . In 2016 , Governor of New York Andrew Cuomo directed the New York Public Service Commission to consider ratepayer - financed subsidies similar to those for renewable sources to keep nuclear power stations profitable in the competition against natural gas . Westinghouse Chapter 11 bankruptcy ( edit ) On March 29 , 2017 , parent company Toshiba placed Westinghouse Electric Company in Chapter 11 bankruptcy because of $9 billion of losses from its nuclear reactor construction projects . The projects responsible for this loss are mostly the construction of four AP1000 reactors at Vogtle in Georgia and V.C. Summer in South Carolina . The U.S. government had given $8.3 billion of loan guarantees on the financing of the four nuclear reactors being built in the U.S. , and it is expected a way forward to completing the plants can be agreed . Peter A. Bradford , former Nuclear Regulatory Commission member , commented `` They placed a big bet on this hallucination of a nuclear renaissance '' . The other U.S. new nuclear supplier , General Electric , had already scaled back its nuclear operations as it was concerned about the economic viability of new nuclear . Safety and accidents ( edit ) A clean - up crew working to remove radioactive contamination after the Three Mile Island accident . Erosion of the 6 - inch - thick ( 150 mm ) carbon steel reactor head at Davis - Besse Nuclear Power Plant in 2002 , caused by a persistent leak of borated water . Main articles : Nuclear safety in the U.S. and Nuclear power plant accidents in the United States Regulation of nuclear power plants in the United States is done by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission , which divides the nation into 4 administrative divisions . On March 28 , 1979 , equipment failures and operator error contributed to loss of coolant and a partial core meltdown at the Three Mile Island Nuclear Power Plant in Pennsylvania . The mechanical failures were compounded by the initial failure of plant operators to recognize the situation as a loss - of - coolant accident due to inadequate training and human factors , such as human - computer interaction design oversights relating to ambiguous control room indicators in the power plant 's user interface . The scope and complexity of the accident became clear over the course of five days , as employees of Met Ed , Pennsylvania state officials , and members of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ( NRC ) tried to understand the problem , communicate the situation to the press and local community , decide whether the accident required an emergency evacuation , and ultimately end the crisis . The NRC 's authorization of the release of 40,000 gallons of radioactive waste water directly in the Susquehanna River led to a loss of credibility with the press and community . The Three Mile Island accident inspired Perrow 's book Normal Accidents , where a nuclear accident occurs , resulting from an unanticipated interaction of multiple failures in a complex system . TMI was an example of a normal accident because it was `` unexpected , incomprehensible , uncontrollable and unavoidable '' . The World Nuclear Association has stated that cleanup of the damaged nuclear reactor system at TMI - 2 took nearly 12 years and cost approximately US $973 million . Benjamin K. Sovacool , in his 2007 preliminary assessment of major energy accidents , estimated that the TMI accident caused a total of $2.4 billion in property damages . The health effects of the Three Mile Island accident are widely , but not universally , agreed to be very low level . The accident triggered protests around the world . The 1979 Three Mile Island accident was a pivotal event that led to questions about U.S. nuclear safety . Earlier events had a similar effect , including a 1975 fire at Browns Ferry , the 1976 testimonials of three concerned GE nuclear engineers , the GE Three . In 1981 , workers inadvertently reversed pipe restraints at the Diablo Canyon Power Plant reactors , compromising seismic protection systems , which further undermined confidence in nuclear safety . All of these well - publicised events , undermined public support for the U.S. nuclear industry in the 1970s and the 1980s . On March 5 , 2002 , maintenance workers discovered that corrosion had eaten a football - sized hole into the reactor vessel head of the Davis - Besse plant . Although the corrosion did not lead to an accident , this was considered to be a serious nuclear safety incident . The Nuclear Regulatory Commission kept Davis - Besse shut down until March 2004 , so that FirstEnergy was able to perform all the necessary maintenance for safe operations . The NRC imposed its largest fine ever -- more than $5 million -- against FirstEnergy for the actions that led to the corrosion . The company paid an additional $28 million in fines under a settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice . The nuclear industry in the United States has maintained one of the best industrial safety records in the world with respect to all kinds of accidents . For 2008 , the industry hit a new low of 0.13 industrial accidents per 200,000 worker - hours . This is improved over 0.24 in 2005 , which was still a factor of 14.6 less than the 3.5 number for all manufacturing industries . However , more than a quarter of U.S. nuclear plant operators `` have failed to properly tell regulators about equipment defects that could imperil reactor safety '' , according to a Nuclear Regulatory Commission report . As of February 2009 , the NRC requires that the design of new power plants ensures that the reactor containment would remain intact , cooling systems would continue to operate , and spent fuel pools would be protected , in the event of an aircraft crash . This is an issue that has gained attention since the September 11 , 2001 , terrorist attacks . The regulation does not apply to the 100 commercial reactors now operating . However , the containment structures of nuclear power plants are among the strongest structures ever built by mankind ; independent studies have shown that existing plants would easily survive the impact of a large commercial jetliner without loss of structural integrity . Recent concerns have been expressed about safety issues affecting a large part of the nuclear fleet of reactors . In 2012 , the Union of Concerned Scientists , which tracks ongoing safety issues at operating nuclear plants , found that `` leakage of radioactive materials is a pervasive problem at almost 90 percent of all reactors , as are issues that pose a risk of nuclear accidents '' . The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission reports that radioactive tritium has leaked from 48 of the 65 nuclear sites in the United States . Following the Japanese Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster , according to Black & Veatch 's annual utility survey that took place after the disaster , of the 700 executives from the US electric utility industry that were surveyed , nuclear safety was the top concern . There are likely to be increased requirements for on - site spent fuel management and elevated design basis threats at nuclear power plants . License extensions for existing reactors will face additional scrutiny , with outcomes depending on the degree to which plants can meet new requirements , and some extensions already granted for more than 60 of the 104 operating U.S. reactors could be revisited . On - site storage , consolidated long - term storage , and geological disposal of spent fuel is `` likely to be reevaluated in a new light because of the Fukushima storage pool experience '' . In March 2011 , nuclear experts told Congress that spent - fuel pools at US nuclear power plants are too full . They say the entire US spent - fuel policy should be overhauled in light of the Fukushima I nuclear accidents . David Lochbaum , chief nuclear safety officer with the Union of Concerned Scientists , has repeatedly questioned the safety of the Fukushima I Plant 's General Electric Mark 1 reactor design , which is used in almost a quarter of the United States ' nuclear fleet . About one third of reactors in the US are boiling water reactors , the same technology which was involved in the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in Japan . There are also eight nuclear power plants located along the seismically active West coast . Twelve of the American reactors that are of the same vintage as the Fukushima Daiichi plant are in seismically active areas . Earthquake risk is often measured by `` Peak Ground Acceleration '' , or PGA , and the following nuclear power plants have a two percent or greater chance of having PGA over 0.15 g in the next 50 years : Diablo Canyon , Calif. ; San Onofre , Calif. ; Sequoyah , Tenn. ; H.B. Robinson , SC. ; Watts Bar , Tenn. ; Virgil C. Summer , SC. ; Vogtle , GA. ; Indian Point , NY. ; Oconee , SC. ; and Seabrook , NH . In 2013 the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station was permanently retired when premature wear was found in the Steam Generators which had been replaced in 2010 -- 2011 .

If terrorist groups could sufficiently damage safety systems to cause a core meltdown at a nuclear power plant , and / or sufficiently damage spent fuel pools , such an attack could lead to widespread radioactive contamination . The research scientist Harold Feiveson has written that nuclear facilities should be made extremely safe from attacks that could release massive quantities of radioactivity into the community . New reactor designs have features of passive nuclear safety , which may help . In the United States , the NRC carries out `` Force on Force '' ( FOF ) exercises at all Nuclear Power Plant ( NPP ) sites at least once every three years . Uranium supply ( edit ) Sources of uranium fuel for the US commercial nuclear power industry in 2012 ( US Energy Information Administration ) A 2012 report by the International Atomic Energy Agency concluded : `` The currently defined uranium resource base is more than adequate to meet high - case requirements through 2035 and well into the foreseeable future . '' At the start of 2013 , the identified remaining worldwide uranium resources stood at 5.90 million tons , enough to supply the world 's reactors at current consumption rates for more than 120 years , even if no additional uranium deposits are discovered in the meantime . Undiscovered uranium resources as of 2013 were estimated to be 7.7 million tons . Doubling the price of uranium would increase the identified reserves as of 2013 to 7.64 million tons . Over the decade 2003 -- 2013 , the identified reserves of uranium ( at the same price of US $130 / kg ) rose from 4.59 million tons in 2003 to 5.90 million tons in 2013 , a increase of 28 % . Fuel cycle ( edit ) Uranium mining ( edit ) Main article : Uranium mining in the United States The United States has the 4th largest uranium reserves in the world . The U.S. has its most prominent uranium reserves in New Mexico , Texas , and Wyoming . The U.S. Department of Energy has approximated there to be at least 300 million pounds of uranium in these areas . Domestic production increased until 1980 , after which it declined sharply due to low uranium prices . In 2012 the United States mined 17 % of the uranium consumed by its nuclear power plants . The remainder was imported , principally from Canada , Russia and Australia . Uranium is mined using several methods including open - pit mining , underground mining , and in - situ leaching . Uranium enrichment ( edit ) Location of nuclear reactor fuel processing facilities in the United States ( US NRC ) There is one gas centrifuge enrichment plant currently in commercial operation in the US . The National Enrichment Facility , operated by URENCO east of Eunice , New Mexico , was the first uranium enrichment plant in 30 years to be built in the US . The plant started enriching uranium in 2010 . Two additional gas centrifuge plants have been licensed by the NRC , but are not operating . The American Centrifuge Plant in Piketown , Ohio broke ground in 2007 , but stopped construction in 2009 . The Eagle Rock Enrichment Facility in Bonneville County , Idaho was licensed in 2011 , but construction is on hold . Previously ( 2008 ) , demonstration activities were underway in Oak Ridge , Tennessee for a future centrifugal enrichment plant . The new plant would have been called the American Centrifuge Plant , at an estimated cost of 2.3 billion USD . As of September 30 , 2015 , the DOE is ending its contract with the American Centrifuge Project and has stopped funding the project . Reprocessing ( edit ) Nuclear reprocessing has been politically controversial because of the potential to contribute to nuclear proliferation , the potential vulnerability to nuclear terrorism , the political challenges of repository siting , and because of its high cost compared to the once - through fuel cycle . The Obama administration has disallowed reprocessing of nuclear waste , citing nuclear proliferation concerns . Critics of reprocessing worry that the recycled materials will be used for weapons . However , it is unlikely that reprocessed plutonium would be used for nuclear weapons , because it is not weapons - grade . Nonetheless , it is possible that terrorists could steal these materials , because the reprocessed plutonium is less radiotoxic than spent fuel and therefore much easier to steal . Nuclear power plants may not even notice if plutonium was stolen . It is difficult for plants to measure within even tens of kilograms , because making measurements at that accuracy is very time - consuming ; consequently , it is likely that smaller amounts of plutonium could be stolen without detection . Additionally , reprocessing is more expensive when compared with spent fuel storage . One study by the Boston Consulting Group estimated that reprocessing is six percent more expensive than spent fuel storage while another study by the Kennedy School of Government stated that reprocessing is 100 percent more expensive . Waste disposal ( edit ) Recently , as plants continue to age , many on - site spent fuel pools have come near capacity , prompting creation of dry cask storage facilities as well . Several lawsuits between utilities and the government have transpired over the cost of these facilities , because by law the government is required to foot the bill for actions that go beyond the spent fuel pool . There are some 65,000 tons of nuclear waste now in temporary storage throughout the U.S. Since 1987 , Yucca Mountain , in Nevada , had been the proposed site for the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository , but the project was shelved in 2009 following years of controversy and legal wrangling . An alternative plan has not been proffered . At places like Maine Yankee , Connecticut Yankee and Rancho Seco , reactors no longer operate , but the spent fuel remains in small concrete - and - steel silos that require maintenance and monitoring by a guard force . Sometimes the presence of nuclear waste prevents re-use of the sites by industry . Without a long - term solution to store nuclear waste , a nuclear renaissance in the U.S. remains unlikely . Nine states have `` explicit moratoria on new nuclear power until a storage solution emerges '' . Some nuclear power advocates argue that the United States should develop factories and reactors that will recycle some spent fuel . But the Blue Ribbon Commission on America 's Nuclear Future said in 2012 that `` no existing technology was adequate for that purpose , given cost considerations and the risk of nuclear proliferation '' . There is an `` international consensus on the advisability of storing nuclear waste in deep underground repositories '' , but no country in the world has yet opened such a site . The Obama administration has disallowed reprocessing of nuclear waste , citing nuclear proliferation concerns . Water use in nuclear power production ( edit ) U.S. 2014 Electricity Generation By Type . A 2011 NREL study of water use in electricity generation concluded that the median nuclear plant with cooling towers consumed 672 gallons per megawatt - hour ( gal / MWh ) , a usage similar to that of coal plants , but more than other generating technologies , except hydroelectricity ( median reservoir evaporation loss of 4,491 gal / MWh ) and concentrating solar power ( 786 gal / MWh for power tower designs , and 865 for trough ) . Nuclear plants with once - through cooling systems consume only 269 gal / MWh , but require withdrawal of 44,350 gal / MWh . This makes nuclear plants with once - through cooling susceptible to drought . Once - through cooling systems , while once common , have come under attack for the possibility of damage to the environment . Wildlife can become trapped inside the cooling systems and killed , and the increased water temperature of the returning water can impact local ecosystems . US EPA regulations favors recirculating systems , even forcing some older power plants to replace existing once - through cooling systems with new recirculating systems . A 2008 study by the Associated Press found that of the 104 nuclear reactors in the U.S. , `` ... 24 are in areas experiencing the most severe levels of drought . All but two are built on the shores of lakes and rivers and rely on submerged intake pipes to draw billions of gallons of water for use in cooling and condensing steam after it has turned the plants ' turbines , '' much like all Rankine cycle power plants . During the 2008 southeast drought , reactor output was reduced to lower operating power or forced to shut down for safety . The Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station is located in a desert and purchases reclaimed wastewater for cooling . Plant decommissioning ( edit ) The price of energy inputs and the environmental costs of every nuclear power plant continue long after the facility has finished generating its last useful electricity . Both nuclear reactors and uranium enrichment facilities must be decommissioned , returning the facility and its parts to a safe enough level to be entrusted for other uses . After a cooling - off period that may last as long as a century , reactors must be dismantled and cut into small pieces to be packed in containers for final disposal . The process is very expensive , time - consuming , dangerous for workers , hazardous to the natural environment , and presents new opportunities for human error , accidents or sabotage . The total energy required for decommissioning can be as much as 50 % more than the energy needed for the original construction . In most cases , the decommissioning process costs between US $300 million to US $5.6 billion . Decommissioning at nuclear sites which have experienced a serious accident are the most expensive and time - consuming . In the U.S. there are 13 reactors that have permanently shut down and are in some phase of decommissioning , but none of them have completed the process . New methods for decommissioning have been developed in order to minimize the usual high decommissioning costs . One of these methods is in situ decommissioning ( ISD ) , which was implemented at the U.S. Department of Energy Savannah River Site in South Carolina for the closures of the P and R Reactors . With this tactic , the cost of decommissioning both reactors was $73 million . In comparison , the decommissioning of each reactor using traditional methods would have been an estimated $250 million . This results in a 71 % decrease in cost by using ISD . Organizations ( edit ) Fuel vendors ( edit ) The following companies have active Nuclear fuel fabrication facilities in the United States . These are all light water fuel fabrication facilities because only LWRs are operating in the US . The US currently has no MOX fuel fabrication facilities , though Duke Energy has expressed intent of building one of a relatively small capacity . Areva Areva ( formerly Areva NP ) runs fabrication facilities in Lynchburg , Virginia and Richland , Washington . It also has a Generation III+ plant design , EPR ( formerly the Evolutionary Power Reactor ) , which it plans to market in the US . Westinghouse Electric Company Westinghouse operates a fuel fabrication facility in Columbia , South Carolina , which processes 1,600 metric tons Uranium ( MTU ) per year . It previously operated a nuclear fuel plant in Hematite , Missouri but has since closed it down . General Electric GE pioneered the BWR technology that has become widely used throughout the world . It formed the Global Nuclear Fuel joint venture in 1999 with Hitachi and Toshiba and later restructured into GE - Hitachi Nuclear Energy . It operates the fuel fabrication facility in Wilmington , North Carolina , with a capacity of 1,200 MTU per year . KazAtomProm KazAtomProm and the US company Centrus Energy have a partnership on competitive supplies of Kazakhstan 's uranium to the US market . Industry and academic ( edit ) The American Nuclear Society ( ANS ) scientific and educational organization has both academic and industry members . The organization publishes a large amount of literature on nuclear technology in several journals . The ANS also has some offshoot organizations such as North American Young Generation in Nuclear ( NA - YGN ) . The Nuclear Energy Institute ( NEI ) is an industry group whose activities include lobbying , experience sharing between companies and plants , and provides data on the industry to a number of outfits . Anti-nuclear power groups ( edit ) Anti-nuclear protest , Boston , MA , 1977 Some sixty anti-nuclear power groups are operating , or have operated , in the United States . These include : Abalone Alliance , Clamshell Alliance , Greenpeace USA , Institute for Energy and Environmental Research , Musicians United for Safe Energy , Nuclear Control Institute , Nuclear Information and Resource Service , Public Citizen Energy Program , Shad Alliance , and the Sierra Club . In 1992 , the chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission said that `` his agency had been pushed in the right direction on safety issues because of the pleas and protests of nuclear watchdog groups '' . Debate about nuclear power in the US ( edit ) See also : Nuclear power debate There has been considerable public and scientific debate about the use of nuclear power in the United States , mainly from the 1960s to the late 1980s , but also since about 2001 when talk of a nuclear renaissance began . There has been debate about issues such as nuclear accidents , radioactive waste disposal , nuclear proliferation , nuclear economics , and nuclear terrorism . Some scientists and engineers have expressed reservations about nuclear power , including : Barry Commoner , S. David Freeman , John Gofman , Arnold Gundersen , Mark Z . Jacobson , Amory Lovins , Arjun Makhijani , Gregory Minor , and Joseph Romm . Mark Z . Jacobson , professor of civil and environmental engineering at Stanford University , has said : `` If our nation wants to reduce global warming , air pollution and energy instability , we should invest only in the best energy options . Nuclear energy is n't one of them '' . Arnold Gundersen , chief engineer of Fairewinds Associates and a former nuclear power industry executive , has questioned the safety of the Westinghouse AP1000 , a proposed third - generation nuclear reactor . John Gofman , a nuclear chemist and doctor , raised concerns about exposure to low - level radiation in the 1960s and argued against commercial nuclear power in the U.S. In `` Nuclear Power : Climate Fix or Folly , '' Amory Lovins , a physicist with the Rocky Mountain Institute , argued that expanded nuclear power `` does not represent a cost - effective solution to global warming and that investors would shun it were it not for generous government subsidies lubricated by intensive lobbying efforts '' . Environmentalist Patrick Moore spoke out against nuclear power in 1976 , but today he supports it , along with renewable energy sources . In Australian newspaper The Age , he writes `` Greenpeace is wrong -- we must consider nuclear power '' . He argues that any realistic plan to reduce reliance on fossil fuels or greenhouse gas emissions need increased use of nuclear energy . Phil Radford , Executive Director of Greenpeace US responded that nuclear energy is too risky , takes too long to build to address climate change , and by showing that the can U.S. shift to nearly 100 % renewable energy while phasing out nuclear power by 2050 . Environmentalist Stewart Brand wrote the book Whole Earth Discipline , which examines how nuclear power and some other technologies can be used as tools to address global warming . Bernard Cohen , Professor Emeritus of Physics at the University of Pittsburgh , calculates that nuclear power is many times safer than other forms of power generation . President Obama early on included nuclear power as part of his `` all of the above '' energy strategy . In a speech to the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers in 2010 , he demonstrated his commitment to nuclear power by announcing his approval of an $8 billion loan guarantee to pave the way for construction of the first new US nuclear power plant in nearly 30 years . Then in 2012 , his first post-Fukishima state - of - the - union address , Barack Obama said that America needs `` an all - out , all - of - the - above strategy that develops every available source of American energy , '' yet pointedly omitted any mention of nuclear power . But in February 2014 , Energy secretary Ernest Moniz announced $6.5 billion in federal loan guarantees to enable construction of two new nuclear reactors , the first in the US since 1996 . According to the Union of Concerned Scientists in March 2013 over one - third of U.S. nuclear power plants suffered safety - related incidents over the past three years , and nuclear regulators and plant operators need to improve inspections to prevent such events . Pandora 's Promise is a 2013 documentary film , directed by Robert Stone . It presents an argument that nuclear energy , typically feared by environmentalists , is in fact the only feasible way of meeting humanity 's growing need for energy while also addressing the serious problem of climate change . The movie features several notable individuals ( some of whom were once vehemently opposed to nuclear power , but who now speak in support of it ) , including : Stewart Brand , Gwyneth Cravens , Mark Lynas , Richard Rhodes and Michael Shellenberger . Anti-nuclear advocate Helen Caldicott appears briefly . As of 2014 , the U.S. nuclear industry has begun a new lobbying effort , hiring three former senators -- Evan Bayh , a Democrat ; Judd Gregg , a Republican ; and Spencer Abraham , a Republican -- as well as William M. Daley , a former staffer to President Obama . The initiative is called Nuclear Matters , and it has begun a newspaper advertising campaign . Public opinion ( edit ) The Gallup organization , which has periodically polled US opinion on nuclear power since 1994 , found in March 2016 that , for the first time , a majority ( 54 % ) opposed nuclear power , versus 44 % in favor . In polls from 2004 through 2015 , a majority had supported nuclear power . support peaked at 62 % in 2010 , and has been in decline since . According to a CBS News poll , what had been growing acceptance of nuclear power in the United States was eroded sharply following the 2011 Japanese nuclear accidents , with support for building nuclear power plants in the U.S. dropping slightly lower than it was immediately after the Three Mile Island accident in 1979 . Only 43 percent of those polled after the Fukushima nuclear emergency said they would approve building new power plants in the United States . A Washington Post-ABC poll conducted in April 2011 found that 64 percent of Americans opposed the construction of new nuclear reactors . A survey sponsored by the Nuclear Energy Institute , conducted in September 2011 , found that `` 62 percent of respondents said they favor the use of nuclear energy as one of the ways to provide electricity in the United States , with 35 percent opposed '' . According to a 2012 Pew Research Center poll , 44 percent of Americans favored and 49 percent opposed the promotion of increased use of nuclear power . A January 2014 Rasmussen poll found likely US voters split nearly evenly on whether to build more nuclear power plants , 39 percent in favor , versus 37 percent opposed , with an error margin of 3 percent . Prospects of a nuclear renaissance ( edit ) See also : Nuclear renaissance in the United States US reactor construction permits issued and operating nuclear power reactors , 1955 -- 2011 ( data from US EIA ) As of 2017 , the US Energy Information Administration projects that US nuclear generating capacity will decline 23 percent from its 2016 level of 99.1 GW , to 76.5 GW in 2050 , and the nuclear share of electrical generation to go from 20 % in 2016 down to 11 % in 2050 . Driving the decline will be retirements of existing units , to be partially offset by additional units currently under construction and expected capacity expansions of existing reactors . In the 2000s there was a renewed interest in nuclear power in the US , spurred by anticipated government curbs on carbon emissions , and a belief that fossil fuels would become more costly . Signs of a revival ( edit ) The federal government encouraged development of nuclear power through the Nuclear Power 2010 Program , which coordinates efforts for building new nuclear power plants , and the Energy Policy Act which has provisions favorable to nuclear . In February 2010 , President Barack Obama announced loan guarantees for two new reactors at Georgia Power 's Vogtle Electric Generating Plant . The reactors are `` just the first of what we hope will be many new nuclear projects , '' said Carol Browner , director of the White House Office of Energy and Climate Change Policy . In 2008 , it was reported that The Shaw Group and Westinghouse would construct a factory at the Port of Lake Charles at Lake Charles , Louisiana to build components for the Westinghouse AP1000 nuclear reactor . On October 23 , 2008 , it was reported that Northrop Grumman and Areva were planning to construct a factory in Newport News , Virginia to build nuclear reactors . As of March 2009 , the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission had received applications for permission to construct 26 new nuclear power reactors with applications for another 7 expected . Six of these reactors have been ordered . However , not all the proposed new capacity will necessarily be built , with some applications being made to keep future options open and reserving places in a queue for government incentives available for up to the first three plants based on each innovative reactor design . In August 2011 , the TVA board of directors voted to move forward with the construction of the unit one reactor at the Bellefonte Nuclear Generating Station . In addition , the Tennessee Valley Authority petitioned to restart construction on the first two units at Bellefonte . But as of March 2012 , many contractors have been laid off and the ultimate cost and timing for Bellefonte 1 will depend on work at another reactor TVA is completing -- Watts Bar 2 in Tennessee . In February 2012 , TVA said the Watts Bar 2 project was running over budget and behind schedule . In 2012 , The NRC approved construction permits for four new nuclear reactor units at two existing plants , the first permits in 34 years . The first new permits , for two proposed reactors at the Vogtle plant , were approved in February 2012 . NRC Chairman Gregory Jaczko cast the lone dissenting vote , citing safety concerns stemming from Japan 's 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster : `` I can not support issuing this license as if Fukushima never happened '' . The first two of the newly approved units were the Units 3 and 4 at the existing Vogtle Electric Generating Plant . As of December 2011 , construction by Southern Company on the two new nuclear units had begun , and they are expected to be delivering commercial power by 2016 and 2017 , respectively . One week after Southern received the license to begin major construction on the two new reactors , a dozen environmental and anti-nuclear groups sued to stop the Plant Vogtle expansion project , saying `` public safety and environmental problems since Japan 's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactor accident have not been taken into account '' . The lawsuit was dismissed in July 2012 . Also in 2012 , Units 2 and 3 at the SCANA Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Generating Station in South Carolina were approved , and are scheduled to come online in 2017 and 2018 , respectively . A proposed nuclear power plant , the Blue Castle Project , is set to begin construction near Green River , Utah in 2023 . The plant will use 53,500 acre - feet of water annually from the Green River once both reactors are commissioned . The first reactor is scheduled to come online in 2028 , with the second reactor coming online in 2030 . Continued problems and opposition ( edit ) A number of other reactors were under consideration -- a third reactor at the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant in Maryland , a third and fourth reactor at South Texas Nuclear Generating Station , together with two other reactors in Texas , four in Florida , and one in Missouri . However , these have all been postponed or canceled . But , looking ahead , experts see continuing challenges that will make it very difficult for the nuclear power industry to expand beyond a small handful of reactor projects that `` government agencies decide to subsidize by forcing taxpayers to assume the risk for the reactors and mandating that ratepayers pay for construction in advance '' . In May 2009 , John Rowe , chairman of Exelon , which operates 17 nuclear reactors , stated that he would cancel or delay construction of two new reactors in Texas without federal loan guarantees . Following the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan , he remarked that the nuclear renaissance was dead . Amory Lovins added that `` market forces had killed it years earlier '' . In July 2009 , the proposed Victoria County Nuclear Power Plant was delayed , as the project proved difficult to finance . As of April 2009 , AmerenUE has suspended plans to build its proposed plant in Missouri because the state Legislature would not allow it to charge consumers for some of the project 's costs before the plant 's completion . The New York Times has reported that without that `` financial and regulatory certainty '' the company has said it could not proceed . Previously , MidAmerican Energy Company decided to `` end its pursuit of a nuclear power plant in Payette County , Idaho . '' MidAmerican cited cost as the primary factor in their decision . In February 2010 , the Vermont Senate voted 26 to 4 to block operation of the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant after 2012 , citing radioactive tritium leaks , misstatements in testimony by plant officials , a cooling tower collapse in 2007 , and other problems . By state law , the renewal of the operating license must be approved by both houses of the legislature for the nuclear power plant to continue operation . In 2010 , demand for nuclear power softened in America , and some companies withdrew their applications for licenses to build . In September 2010 , Matthew Wald from the New York Times reported that `` the nuclear renaissance is looking small and slow at the moment '' . In the first quarter of 2011 , renewable energy contributed 11.7 percent of total U.S. energy production ( 2.245 quadrillion BTUs of energy ) , surpassing energy production from nuclear power ( 2.125 quadrillion BTUs ) . 2011 was the first year since 1997 that renewables exceeded nuclear in US total energy production . In August 2012 , the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia found that the NRC 's rules for the temporary storage and permanent disposal of nuclear waste stood in violation of the National Environmental Policy Act , rendering the NRC legally unable to grant final licenses for any further new nuclear power plants . This ruling was based on the fact that the Yucca Mountain waste repository had never received a license due to its license application being withdrawn by the DOE nor had any viable alternative waste repository been proposed . So long as this ruling stands and this impasse on waste disposal exists , no additional nuclear plants can ever be licensed for operation in the United States . In March 2013 , the concrete for the basemat of Block 2 of the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Generating Station was poured . First concrete for Unit 3 was completed on November 4 , 2013 . In March 2013 , construction on unit 3 of Vogtle Electric Generating Plant started . Unit 4 was begun in November 2013 . In 2015 the Energy Information Administration estimated that nuclear power 's share of U.S. generation would fall from 19 % to 15 % by 2040 in its central estimate ( High Oil and Gas Resource case ) . However , as total generation increases 24 % by 2040 in the central estimate , the absolute amount of nuclear generation remains fairly flat . Economics ( edit ) George W. Bush signing the Energy Policy Act of 2005 , which was designed to promote US nuclear reactor construction , through incentives and subsidies , including cost - overrun support up to a total of $2 billion for six new nuclear plants . US nuclear power plants , highlighting recently and soon - to - be retired plants , as of 2013 ( US EIA ) . The low price of natural gas in the US since 2008 has spurred construction of gas - fired power plants as an alternative to nuclear plants . In August 2011 , the head of America 's largest nuclear utility said that this was not the time to build new nuclear plants , not because of political opposition or the threat of cost overruns , but because of the low price of natural gas . John Rowe , head of Exelon , said `` Shale ( gas ) is good for the country , bad for new nuclear development '' . In 2013 , four older reactors were permanently closed : San Onofre 2 and 3 in California , Crystal River 3 in Florida , and Kewaunee in Wisconsin . The state of Vermont tried to shut Vermont Yankee , in Vermont , but the plant was closed by the parent corporation for economic reasons in December 2014 . New York State is seeking to close Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant , in Buchanan , 30 miles from New York City , despite this reactor being the primary contributor to Vermont 's green energy fund . The additional cancellation of five large reactor upgrades ( Prairie Island , 1 reactor , LaSalle , 2 reactors , and Limerick , 2 reactors ) , four by the largest nuclear company in the U.S. , suggest that the nuclear industry faces `` a broad range of operational and economic problems '' . In July 2013 , economist Mark Cooper named some nuclear power plants that face particularly intense challenges to their continued operation : Palisades Ft. Calhoun Nine Mile Point Fitzpatrick Ginna Oyster Creek Vermont Yankee , decommissioned 2014 Millstone Clinton Indian Point Cooper said that the lesson for policy makers and economists is clear : `` nuclear reactors are simply not competitive '' . In December 2010 , The Economist reported that the demand for nuclear power was softening in America . In recent years , utilities have shown an interest in about 30 new reactors , but the number with any serious prospect of being built as of the end of 2010 was about a dozen , as some companies had withdrawn their applications for licenses to build . Exelon has withdrawn its application for a license for a twin - unit nuclear plant in Victoria County , Texas , citing lower electricity demand projections . The decision has left the country 's largest nuclear operator without a direct role in what the nuclear industry hopes is a nuclear renaissance . Ground has been broken on two new nuclear plants with a total of four reactors . The Obama administration was seeking the expansion of a loan guarantee program but as of December 2010 had been unable to commit all the loan guarantee money already approved by Congress . Since talk a few years ago of a `` nuclear renaissance '' , gas prices have fallen and old reactors are getting license extensions . The only reactor to finish construction after 1996 was at Watts Bar , Tennessee , is an old unit , begun in 1973 , whose construction was suspended in 1988 , and was resumed in 2007 . It became operational in October 2016 . Of the 100 reactors operating in the U.S. , ground was broken on all of them in 1974 or earlier . Experts see continuing challenges that will make it very difficult for the nuclear power industry to expand beyond a small handful of reactor projects that `` government agencies decide to subsidize by forcing taxpayers to assume the risk for the reactors and mandating that ratepayers pay for construction in advance '' . In August 2012 , Exelon stated that economic and market conditions , especially low natural gas prices , made the `` construction of new merchant nuclear power plants in competitive markets uneconomical now and for the foreseeable future '' . In early 2013 UBS noted that some smaller reactors operating in deregulated markets may become uneconomic to operate and maintain , due to competition from generators using low priced natural gas , and may be retired early . The 556 MWe Kewaunee Power Station is being closed 20 years before license expiry for these economic reasons . In February 2014 the Financial Times identified Pilgrim , Indian Point , Clinton and Quad Cities power stations as potentially at risk of premature closure for economic reasons . As of 2017 , the U.S. shale gas boom has lowered electricity generation costs placing severe pressure on the economics of operating older existing nuclear power plants . Analysis by Bloomberg shows that over half of U.S. nuclear plants are running at a loss . The Nuclear Energy Institute has estimated that 15 to 20 reactors are at risk of early closure for economic reasons . Nuclear operators in Illinois and New York have obtained financial support from regulators , and operators in Connecticut , New Jersey , Ohio and Pennsylvania are seeking similar support . Some non-nuclear power generating companies have filed unfair competition lawsuits against these subsidies , and have raised the issue with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission .

"Most reactors began construction by 1974; following the Three Mile Island accident in 1979 and changing economics, many planned projects were canceled. More than 100 orders for nuclear power reactors, many already under construction, were canceled in the 1970s and 1980s, bankrupting some companies. Up until 2013, there had also been no ground-breaking on new nuclear reactors at existing power plants since 1977. Then in 2012, the NRC approved construction of four new reactors at existing nuclear plants. Construction of the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Generating Station Units 2 and 3 began on March 9, 2013 but was abandoned on July 31, 2017.[10] On March 12, 2013 construction began on the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Units 3 and 4, but has been stalled as the reactor supplier Westinghouse filed for bankruptcy protection on March 29, 2017. On October 19, 2016 TVA's Unit-2 reactor at the Watts Bar Nuclear Generating Station became the first US reactor to enter commercial operation since 1996.[11]"

Get Me Out of Here ! ( occasionally shortened to I 'm a Celebrity ) is an Australian reality television series on Network Ten which is based on the British television show of the same name . The series sees celebrities living in the jungle with few creature comforts and compete in various challenges to earn meals and other luxuries . The celebrities compete for $100,000 to be donated to their chosen charity . The series is set in Kruger National Park , South Africa , and is hosted by Julia Morris and Chris Brown . On 16 July 2015 the series was renewed for a second season , which premiered on 31 January 2016 . The second season was accompanied by the companion series ' ' I 'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here ! Now ! ' ' . It aired on Eleven following each episode of the main series , hosted by comedian and former season one contestant Joel Creasey and The Bachelor Australia 3 contestant Heather Maltman . ' ' I 'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here ! Now ! ' ' did not air after the main show in later seasons due to low viewing rates . On 1 August 2016 the series was renewed for a third season with Morris and Brown returning as hosts , which premiered on 29 January 2017 . A fourth season commenced on 28 January 2018 and concluded 12 March 2018 .

During their time in the jungle they are isolated from the outside world and are not commonly aware of outside events . The contestants compete for $100,000 to be donated to a charity of their choosing , in addition to being personally reimbursed for their participation . While in the jungle , some of the contestants ( generally voted by the viewing public ) compete in challenges for food and luxuries for the camp . These challenges often involve local wildlife and are meant to take the contestants out of their comfort zone . Each week one or more of the contestants are evicted from the jungle , based on viewer votes . In addition , if the contestants become overwhelmed by their situation they can leave the series by speaking the phrase `` I 'm a celebrity get me out of here ! '' . However , it is reported that if contestants do quit they will have their income for participating in the series markedly reduced . Throughout the show , additional contestants ( called `` intruders '' ) enter the competition ; and beginning with season two , some contestants are only included temporarily ( i.e. having a guest appearance ) . In the end , a final viewer vote occurs to determine the winner of the series , who is given the title of `` King and / or Queen of the Jungle '' . Tucker trials ( edit ) The contestants take part in daily trials to earn food . These trials aim to test both physical and mental abilities . The winner is usually determined by the number of stars collected during the trial , with each star representing a meal earned by the winning contestant for their camp mates . Celebrity chest challenges ( edit ) Two or more celebrities are chosen to take part in the celebrity chest challenge to win luxuries for camp . Each challenge involves completing a task to win a chest to take back to camp . However , to win the luxury item in the chest , the campmates must correctly answer a question . If they fail to answer correctly , the luxury item is forfeited and a joke prize is won . The luxury item is `` donated '' by a celebrity from the outside . Secret mission ( edit ) This is a challenge where some celebrities have to take part without alerting the other celebrities - if they are successful in their ' missions ' , they are rewarded . Mystery box ( edit ) A mystery box sees a box delivered to the campsite , each time containing a different gift for the contestants . Production ( edit ) Broadcast ( edit ) The show is broadcast Sunday to Thursday at 7.30 pm , with a weekly eviction show on Sunday ( except for the first week , where the celebrities arrive in the ' jungle ' ) . All shows are presented by Julia Morris & Chris Brown from a nearby studio . The program is live to AEDT States ( New South Wales , Victoria , Tasmania and the Australian Capital Territory ) , in other states the program is delayed to accommodate local time zones . The Fallout Zone ( edit ) In addition to the television broadcast , for the first season a live feed from the camp site aired for an hour after the AEDT airing of the show on Ten 's website and mobile app , titled The Fallout Zone but more commonly referred to as FOZ . The content of feed was available on the website after the fact so viewers in other states could watch the show after their airing of the main show . The feed was hosted by comedian Sam Mac and producer Ciaran `` The Butcher '' Flannery , also known as `` The C - Word '' . On 8 and 12 March 2015 , producer Dominic `` The Domin8or '' Sullivan filled in during Flannery 's absence . The duo interact with viewers through Twitter , using the hashtag # FOZ . Mac and Flannery have no control over the shots used in the stream which has resulted in one episode featuring a 20 - minute shot of a waterfall and , on 16 February 2015 , a 15 - minute conversation featuring a sound technician looking for Bob being picked up . On 5 March 2015 the show famously featured audio problems during which Mac and Flannery 's voices fluctuated between chipmunk and Darth Vader filters for the first thirty minutes . The show 's theme song is Highway to the Fallout Zone sung by Sam Mac . The show did not return for the second season . Public voting ( edit ) Throughout the show the public votes on who competes in the following tucker trial and who to evict from the campsite . Viewers can either vote via SMS ( by texting the name of the celebrity to 1995 1010 ) or vote via Social Media ( namely Facebook or Twitter ) by using the celebrity 's hashtag ( # celeb ( name ) ) . Voting via social media is limited to 20 votes per account . For tucker trial voting , viewers vote for celebrity they wish to compete . For eviction voting , viewers vote for a celebrity to stay . Voting closes at approximately 7 : 30pm AEDT for Sunday 's eviction vote and at approximately 8pm AEDT for voting on other days . Prior to the premiere of the second season , it was announced that the voting process would change slightly compared to the inaugural season . SMS voting wil be used for both trial and eviction voting while Twitter voting will be used exclusively for trial voting . This change was implemented to even the playing field between celebrities with a larger international fan base ( who are more likely to receive Twitter votes from said fan base ) and celebrities with a smaller fan base who are only known in Australia . However , this decision was later reversed , allowing Twitter and Facebook votes for the finals . Series overview ( edit ) Winners crowned King or Queen of their respective year .

5584750745488484151 | Kangaroo | Kangaroo - Wikipedia Kangaroo Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the living animal . For the kangaroo as a food , see Kangaroo meat . For other meanings , see Kangaroo ( disambiguation ) . Kangaroo Temporal range : Early Miocene - Present Female Eastern grey kangaroo with joey ( baby ) in pouch Conservation status Least Concern ( IUCN 3.1 ) Scientific classification Kingdom : Animalia Phylum : Chordata Class : Mammalia Infraclass : Marsupialia Order : Diprotodontia Family : Macropodidae Genus : Macropus Subgenus : Macropus and Osphranter Species 4 species , see text . The kangaroo is a marsupial from the family Macropodidae ( macropods , meaning `` large foot '' ) . In common use the term is used to describe the largest species from this family , especially those of the genus Macropus : the red kangaroo , antilopine kangaroo , eastern grey kangaroo , and western grey kangaroo . Kangaroos are indigenous to Australia . The Australian government estimates that 34.3 million kangaroos lived within the commercial harvest areas of Australia in 2011 , up from 25.1 million one year earlier . As with the terms `` wallaroo '' and `` wallaby '' , `` kangaroo '' refers to a polyphyletic grouping of species . All three refer to members of the same taxonomic family , Macropodidae , and are distinguished according to size . The largest species in the family are called `` kangaroos '' and the smallest are generally called `` wallabies '' . The term `` wallaroos '' refers to species of an intermediate size . There is also the tree - kangaroo , another genus of macropod , which inhabits the tropical rainforests of New Guinea , far northeastern Queensland and some of the islands in the region . A general idea of the relative size of these informal terms could be : wallabies : head and body length of 45 -- 105 cm and tail length of 33 -- 75 cm ; The dwarf wallaby ( the smallest member ) length is 46 cm and weigh of 1.6 kg ; tree - kangaroos : from Lumholtz 's tree - kangaroo body and head length of 48 -- 65 cm , tail of 60 -- 74 cm , weigh of 7.2 kg ( 16 lb ) for males and 5.9 kg ( 13 lb ) for females ; to the grizzled tree - kangaroo length of 75 -- 90 cm ( 30 to 35 in ) and weight of 8 -- 15 kg ( 18 -- 33 lb ) ; wallaroos : the black wallaroo , the smallest by far , with a tail length of 60 -- 70 cm and weight of 19 -- 22 kg for males and 13 kg for females ; kangaroos : a large male can be 2 m ( 6 ft 7 in ) tall and weigh 90 kg ( 200 lb ) . Kangaroos have large , powerful hind legs , large feet adapted for leaping , a long muscular tail for balance , and a small head . Like most marsupials , female kangaroos have a pouch called a marsupium in which joeys complete postnatal development . The large kangaroos have adapted much better than the smaller macropods to land clearing for pastoral agriculture and habitat changes brought to the Australian landscape by humans . Many of the smaller species are rare and endangered , while kangaroos are relatively plentiful . The kangaroo is a symbol of Australia and appears on the Australian coat of arms and on some of its currency and is used by some of Australia 's well known organisations , including Qantas and the Royal Australian Air Force . The kangaroo is important to both Australian culture and the national image , and consequently there are numerous popular culture references . Wild kangaroos are shot for meat , leather hides , and to protect grazing land . Although controversial , kangaroo meat has perceived health benefits for human consumption compared with traditional meats due to the low level of fat on kangaroos .

The name was first recorded as `` kanguru '' on 12 July 1770 in an entry in the diary of Sir Joseph Banks ; this occurred at the site of modern Cooktown , on the banks of the Endeavour River , where HMS Endeavour under the command of Lieutenant James Cook was beached for almost seven weeks to repair damage sustained on the Great Barrier Reef . Cook first referred to kangaroos in his diary entry of 4 August . Guugu Yimithirr is the language of the people of the area . A common myth about the kangaroo 's English name is that `` kangaroo '' was a Guugu Yimithirr phrase for `` I do n't understand you . '' According to this legend , Cook and Banks were exploring the area when they happened upon the animal . They asked a nearby local what the creatures were called . The local responded `` Kangaroo '' , meaning `` I do n't understand you '' , which Cook took to be the name of the creature . This myth was debunked in the 1970s by linguist John B. Haviland in his research with the Guugu Yimithirr people . Kangaroos are often colloquially referred to as `` roos '' . Male kangaroos are called bucks , boomers , jacks , or old men ; females are does , flyers , or jills , and the young ones are joeys . The collective noun for kangaroos is a mob , troop , or court . Taxonomy and description Red kangaroo grazing There are four species that are commonly referred to as kangaroos : The red kangaroo ( Macropus rufus ) is the largest surviving marsupial anywhere in the world . It occupies the arid and semi-arid centre of the country . The highest population densities of the red kangaroo occur in the rangelands of western New South Wales . Red kangaroos are commonly mistaken as the most abundant species of kangaroo , but eastern greys actually have a larger population . A large male can be 2 metres ( 6 ft 7 in ) tall and weigh 90 kg ( 200 lb ) . The eastern grey kangaroo ( Macropus giganteus ) is less well - known than the red ( outside Australia ) , but the most often seen , as its range covers the fertile eastern part of the country . The range of the eastern grey kangaroo extends from the top of the Cape York Peninsula in north Queensland down to Victoria , as well as areas of south - eastern Australia and Tasmania . Population densities of eastern grey kangaroos usually peak near 100 per km in suitable habitats of open woodlands . Populations are more limited in areas of land clearance , such as farmland , where forest and woodland habitats are limited in size or abundance . The western grey kangaroo ( Macropus fuliginosus ) is slightly smaller again at about 54 kg ( 119 lb ) for a large male . It is found in the southern part of Western Australia , South Australia near the coast , and the Darling River basin . The highest population densities occur in the western Riverina district of New South Wales and in western areas of the Nullarbor Plain in Western Australia . Populations may have declined , particularly in agricultural areas . The species has a high tolerance to the plant toxin sodium fluoroacetate , which indicates a possible origin from the south - west region of Australia . The antilopine kangaroo ( Macropus antilopinus ) is , essentially , the far - northern equivalent of the eastern and western grey kangaroos . It is sometimes referred to as the antilopine wallaroo , but in behaviour and habitat it is more similar to red and grey kangaroos . Like them , it is a creature of the grassy plains and woodlands , and gregarious . Its name comes from its fur , which is similar in colour and texture to that of antelopes . Characteristically , the noses of males swell behind the nostrils . This enlarges nasal passages and allows them to release more heat in hot and humid climates . Palatal view of a Sthenurus sp skull In addition , there are about 50 smaller macropods closely related to the kangaroo in the family Macropodidae . Kangaroos and other macropods share a common ancestor with Phalangeridae from the mid-Miocene . This ancestor was likely arboreal and lived in the canopies of the extensive forests that covered most of Australia at that time , when the climate was much wetter , and fed on leaves and stems . From the late Miocene though the Pliocene and into the Pleistocene the climate got drier which led to a decline of forests and expansion of grasslands . At this time there was a radiation of macropodids characterised by enlarged body size and adaptation to the low quality grass diet with the development of foregut fermentation . The most numerous early macropods , the Balbaridae and Bulungmayinae , became extinct in the late Miocene around 5 -- 10 mya . There is dispute over the relationships of the two groups to modern kangaroos and rat kangaroos . Some argue that the balbarines were the ancestors of rat kangaroos and the bulungmayines were the ancestors of kangaroos . while others hold the contrary view . The Kongouro from New Holland , 1772 painting of a kangaroo by George Stubbs The middle to late bulungmayines , Gungaroo and Wanburoo lacked digit 1 of the hind foot and digits 2 and 3 were reduced and partly under the large digit 4 , much like the modern kangaroo foot . This would indicate that they were bipedal . In addition their ankle bones had an articulation that would have prohibited much lateral movements , an adaptation for bipedal hopping . Species related to the modern grey kangaroos and wallaroos begin to appear in the Pliocene . The red kangaroo appears to be the most recently evolved kangaroo with its fossil record not going back beyond the Pleistocene period , 1 -- 2 mya . Europeans have long regarded kangaroos as strange animals . Early explorers described them as creatures that had heads like deer ( without antlers ) , stood upright like men , and hopped like frogs . Combined with the two - headed appearance of a mother kangaroo , this led many back home to dismiss them as travellers ' tales for quite some time . The first kangaroo to be exhibited in the western world was an example shot by John Gore , an officer on Captain Cook 's Endeavour in 1770 . The animal was shot and its skin and skull transported back to England whereupon it was stuffed ( by taxidermists who had never seen the animal before ) and displayed to the general public as a curiosity . The first glimpse of a kangaroo for many 18th - century Britons was a painting by George Stubbs . Comparison with wallabies Kangaroos and wallabies belong to the same taxonomic family ( Macropodidae ) and often the same genera , but kangaroos are specifically categorised into the six largest species of the family . The term wallaby is an informal designation generally used for any macropod that is smaller than a kangaroo or wallaroo that has not been designated otherwise . Biology and behaviour See also : Red kangaroo § Behaviour , and Eastern grey kangaroo § Behaviour Locomotion A Tasmanian forester ( eastern grey ) kangaroo in motion . Kangaroos are the only large animals to use hopping as a means of locomotion . The comfortable hopping speed for a red kangaroo is about 20 -- 25 km / h ( 12 -- 16 mph ) , but speeds of up to 70 km / h ( 43 mph ) can be attained over short distances , while it can sustain a speed of 40 km / h ( 25 mph ) for nearly 2 km ( 1.2 mi ) . This fast and energy - efficient method of travel has evolved because of the need to regularly cover large distances in search of food and water , rather than the need to escape predators . At slow speeds , it employs pentapedal locomotion , using its tail to form a tripod with its two forelimbs while bringing its hind feet forward . Kangaroos are adept swimmers , and often flee into waterways if threatened by a predator . If pursued into the water , a kangaroo may use its forepaws to hold the predator underwater so as to drown it . Diet Kangaroos in native grassland Kangaroos have single - chambered stomachs quite unlike those of cattle and sheep . They sometimes regurgitate the vegetation they have eaten , chew it as cud , and then swallow it again for final digestion , but this is a different , and more strenuous , activity than it is in ruminants , and does not take place as frequently . Different species of kangaroos have different diets , although all are strict herbivores . The eastern grey kangaroo is predominantly a grazer , eating a wide variety of grasses , whereas some other species ( e.g. the red kangaroo ) include significant amounts of shrubs in their diets . The smaller species of kangaroos also consume hypogeal fungi . Many species are nocturnal , and crepuscular , usually spending the days resting in shade , and the cool evenings , nights and mornings moving about and feeding . Because of its grazing , the kangaroo has developed specialised teeth . Its incisors are able to crop grass close to the ground , and its molars chop and grind the grass . Since the two sides of the lower jaw are not joined together , the lower incisors are farther apart , giving the kangaroo a wider bite . The silica in grass is abrasive , so kangaroo molars move forward as they are ground down , and eventually fall out , replaced by new teeth that grow in the back . This process is known as polyphyodonty and amongst other mammals , only occurs in elephants and manatees . Absence of digestive methane release Despite having herbivorous diets similar to ruminants such as cattle , which release large quantities of methane through exhaling and eructation ( burping ) , kangaroos release virtually none . The hydrogen byproduct of fermentation is instead converted into acetate , which is then used to provide further energy . Scientists are interested in the possibility of transferring the bacteria responsible from kangaroos to cattle , since the greenhouse gas effect of methane is 23 times greater than that of carbon dioxide , per molecule . Social and sexual behaviour Western grey kangaroos Groups of kangaroos are called mobs , which usually have 10 or more kangaroos in them . Living in mobs can provide protection for some of the weaker members of the group . The size and stability of the mobs vary between geographic regions , with eastern Australia having larger and more stable aggregations than in arid areas farther west . Larger aggregations display high amounts of interactions and complex social structures , comparable to that of ungulates . One common behaviour is nose touching and sniffing , which mostly occurs when an individual joins a group . The kangaroo performing the sniffing gains much information from smell cues . This behaviour enforces social cohesion without consequent aggression . During mutual sniffing , if one kangaroo is smaller , it will hold its body closer to the ground and its head will quiver , which serves as a possible form of submission . Greetings between males and females are common , with larger males being the most involved in meeting females . Most other non-antagonistic behaviour occurs between mothers and their young . Mother and young reinforce their bond though grooming . A mother will groom her young during or after it is suckling . A joey will nuzzle its mother 's pouch if it wants access to it . Sexual activity of kangaroos consists of consort pairs . Oestrous females roam widely and attract the attention of males with conspicuous signals . A male will monitor a female and follow her every movement . He sniffs her urine to see if she is in oestrus , a process exhibiting the flehmen response . The male will then proceed to approach her slowly to avoid alarming her . If the female does not run away , the male will continue by licking , pawing , and scratching her , and copulation will follow . After copulation is over , the male will move on to another female . Consort pairing may take several days and the copulation is also long . Thus , a consort pair is likely to attract the attention of a rival male . As larger males are tending bonds with females near oestrus , smaller males will tend to females that are farther from oestrus . Dominant males can avoid having to sort through females to determine their reproductive status by searching for tending bonds held by the largest male they can displace without a fight . Red kangaroos boxing Fighting has been described in all species of kangaroos . Fights between kangaroos can be brief or long and ritualised . In highly competitive situations , such as males fighting for access to oestrous females or at limited drinking spots , the fights are brief . Both sexes will fight for drinking spots , but long , ritualised fighting or `` boxing '' is largely done by males . Smaller males fight more often near females in oestrus , while the large males in consorts do not seem to get involved . Ritualised fights can arise suddenly when males are grazing together . However , most fights are preceded by two males scratching and grooming each other . One or both of them will adopt a high standing posture , with one male issuing a challenge by grasping the other male 's neck with its forepaw . Sometimes , the challenge will be declined . Large males often reject challenges by smaller males . During fighting , the combatants adopt a high standing posture and paw at each other 's heads , shoulders and chests . They will also lock forearms and wrestle and push each other as well as balance on their tails to kick each other in the abdomens . Brief fights are similar except there is no forearm locking . The losing combatant seems to use kicking more often , perhaps to parry the thrusts of the eventual winner . A winner is decided when a kangaroo breaks off the fight and retreats . Winners are able to push their opponents backwards or down to the ground . They also seem to grasp their opponents when they break contact and push them away . The initiators of the fights are usually the winners . These fights may serve to establish dominance hierarchies among males , as winners of fights have been seen to displace their opponent from resting sites later in the day . Dominant males may also pull grass to intimidate subordinates . Predators Kangaroos have few natural predators . The thylacine , considered by palaeontologists to have once been a major natural predator of the kangaroo , is now extinct . Other extinct predators included the marsupial lion , Megalania and the Wonambi . However , with the arrival of humans in Australia at least 50,000 years ago and the introduction of the dingo about 5,000 years ago , kangaroos have had to adapt . Wedge - tailed eagles and other raptors usually eat kangaroo carrion . Goannas and other carnivorous reptiles also pose a danger to smaller kangaroo species when other food sources are lacking . Along with dingos , introduced species such as foxes , feral cats , and both domestic and feral dogs , pose a threat to kangaroo populations . Kangaroos and wallabies are adept swimmers , and often flee into waterways if presented with the option . If pursued into the water , a large kangaroo may use its forepaws to hold the predator underwater so as to drown it . Another defensive tactic described by witnesses is catching the attacking dog with the forepaws and disembowelling it with the hind legs . Adaptations Baby kangaroo Kangaroos have developed a number of adaptations to a dry , infertile country and highly variable climate . As with all marsupials , the young are born at a very early stage of development -- after a gestation of 31 -- 36 days . At this stage , only the forelimbs are somewhat developed , to allow the newborn to climb to the pouch and attach to a teat . In comparison , a human embryo at a similar stage of development would be about seven weeks old , and premature babies born at less than 23 weeks are usually not mature enough to survive . When the joey is born , it is about the size of a lima bean . The joey will usually stay in the pouch for about nine months ( 180 -- 320 days for the Western Grey ) before starting to leave the pouch for small periods of time . It is usually fed by its mother until reaching 18 months . The female kangaroo is usually pregnant in permanence , except on the day she gives birth ; however , she has the ability to freeze the development of an embryo until the previous joey is able to leave the pouch . This is known as diapause , and will occur in times of drought and in areas with poor food sources . The composition of the milk produced by the mother varies according to the needs of the joey . In addition , the mother is able to produce two different kinds of milk simultaneously for the newborn and the older joey still in the pouch . Unusually , during a dry period , males will not produce sperm , and females will only conceive if enough rain has fallen to produce a large quantity of green vegetation . Hindleg of a kangaroo Kangaroos and wallabies have large , elastic tendons in their hind legs . They store elastic strain energy in the tendons of their large hind legs , providing most of the energy required for each hop by the spring action of the tendons rather than by any muscular effort . This is true in all animal species which have muscles connected to their skeletons through elastic elements such as tendons , but the effect is more pronounced in kangaroos . There is also a link between the hopping action and breathing : as the feet leave the ground , air is expelled from the lungs ; bringing the feet forward ready for landing refills the lungs , providing further energy efficiency . Studies of kangaroos and wallabies have demonstrated , beyond the minimum energy expenditure required to hop at all , increased speed requires very little extra effort ( much less than the same speed increase in , say , a horse , dog or human ) , and the extra energy is required to carry extra weight . For kangaroos , the key benefit of hopping is not speed to escape predators -- the top speed of a kangaroo is no higher than that of a similarly sized quadruped , and the Australian native predators are in any case less fearsome than those of other countries -- but economy : in an infertile country with highly variable weather patterns , the ability of a kangaroo to travel long distances at moderately high speed in search of food sources is crucial to survival . New research has revealed that a kangaroo 's tail acts as a third leg rather than just a balancing strut . Kangaroos have a unique three - stage walk where they plant their front legs and tail first , then push off their tail , followed lastly by the back legs . The propulsive force of the tail is equal to that of both the front and hind legs combined and performs as much work as what a human leg walking can at the same speed . A DNA sequencing project of the genome of a member of the kangaroo family , the tammar wallaby , was started in 2004 . It was a collaboration between Australia ( mainly funded by the state of Victoria ) and the National Institutes of Health in the US . The tammar 's genome was fully sequenced in 2011 . The genome of a marsupial such as the kangaroo is of great interest to scientists studying comparative genomics , because marsupials are at an ideal degree of evolutionary divergence from humans : mice are too close and have not developed many different functions , while birds are genetically too remote . The dairy industry could also benefit from this project . Blindness Eye disease is rare but not new among kangaroos . The first official report of kangaroo blindness took place in 1994 , in central New South Wales . The following year , reports of blind kangaroos appeared in Victoria and South Australia . By 1996 , the disease had spread `` across the desert to Western Australia '' . Australian authorities were concerned the disease could spread to other livestock and possibly humans . Researchers at the Australian Animal Health Laboratories in Geelong detected a virus called the Wallal virus in two species of midges , believed to have been the carriers . Veterinarians also discovered fewer than 3 % of kangaroos exposed to the virus developed blindness . Reproduction and Life cycle See also : Red kangaroo § Reproduction , and Eastern grey kangaroo § Reproduction Newborn joey sucking on a teat in the pouch Kangaroo reproduction is similar to that of opossums . The egg ( still contained in the shell membrane , a few micrometres thick , and with only a small quantity of yolk within it ) descends from the ovary into the uterus . There it is fertilised and quickly develops into a neonate . Even in the largest kangaroo ( the red kangaroo ) the neonate emerges after only 33 days . Usually , only one young is born at a time . It is blind , hairless , and only a few centimetres long ; its hindlegs are mere stumps ; it instead uses its more developed forelegs to climb its way through the thick fur on its mother 's abdomen into the pouch , which takes about three to five minutes . Once in the pouch , it fastens onto one of the four teats and starts to feed . Almost immediately , the mother 's sexual cycle starts again . Another egg descends into the uterus and she becomes sexually receptive . Then , if she mates and a second egg is fertilised , its development is temporarily halted . Meanwhile , the neonate in the pouch grows rapidly . After about 190 days , the baby ( joey ) is sufficiently large and developed to make its full emergence out of the pouch , after sticking its head out for a few weeks until it eventually feels safe enough to fully emerge . From then on , it spends increasing time in the outside world and eventually , after about 235 days , it leaves the pouch for the last time . The lifespan of kangaroos averages at six years in the wild to in excess of 20 years in captivity , varying by species . Most individuals , however , do not reach maturity in the wild . Interaction with humans Kangaroo in a domestic setting , Queensland , Australia , circa 1900 - 1910 The kangaroo has always been a very important animal for Australian Aborigines , for its meat , hide , bone , and tendon . Kangaroo hides were also sometimes used for recreation ; in particular there are accounts of some tribes ( Kurnai ) using stuffed kangaroo scrotum as a ball for the traditional football game of marngrook . In addition , there were important Dreaming stories and ceremonies involving the kangaroo . Aherrenge is a current kangaroo dreaming site in the Northern Territory . Unlike many of the smaller macropods , kangaroos have fared well since European settlement . European settlers cut down forests to create vast grasslands for sheep and cattle grazing , added stock watering points in arid areas , and have substantially reduced the number of dingoes . Kangaroos are shy and retiring by nature , and in normal circumstances present no threat to humans . In 2003 , Lulu , an eastern grey which had been hand - reared , saved a farmer 's life by alerting family members to his location when he was injured by a falling tree branch . She received the RSPCA Australia National Animal Valour Award on 19 May 2004 . There are very few records of kangaroos attacking humans without provocation ; however , several such unprovoked attacks in 2004 spurred fears of a rabies - like disease possibly affecting the marsupials . The only reliably documented case of a fatality from a kangaroo attack occurred in New South Wales , in 1936 . A hunter was killed when he tried to rescue his two dogs from a heated fray . Other suggested causes for erratic and dangerous kangaroo behaviour include extreme thirst and hunger . In July 2011 , a male red kangaroo attacked a 94 - year - old woman in her own backyard as well as her son and two police officers responding to the situation . The kangaroo was capsicum sprayed ( pepper sprayed ) and later put down after the attack . Conflict with vehicles A `` kangaroo crossing '' sign on an Australian highway A collision with a vehicle is capable of killing a kangaroo . Kangaroos dazzled by headlights or startled by engine noise often leap in front of cars . Since kangaroos in mid-bound can reach speeds of around 50 km / h ( 31 mph ) and are relatively heavy , the force of impact can be severe . Small vehicles may be destroyed , while larger vehicles may suffer engine damage . The risk of harm or death to vehicle occupants is greatly increased if the windscreen is the point of impact . As a result , `` kangaroo crossing '' signs are commonplace in Australia . Vehicles that frequent isolated roads , where roadside assistance may be scarce , are often fitted with `` roo bars '' to minimise damage caused by collision . Bonnet - mounted devices , designed to scare wildlife off the road with ultrasound and other methods , have been devised and marketed . If a female is the victim of a collision , animal welfare groups ask that her pouch be checked for any surviving joey , in which case it may be removed to a wildlife sanctuary or veterinary surgeon for rehabilitation . Likewise , when an adult kangaroo is injured in a collision , a vet , the RSPCA Australia or the National Parks and Wildlife Service can be consulted for instructions on proper care . In New South Wales , rehabilitation of kangaroos is carried out by volunteers from WIRES . Council road signs often list phone numbers for callers to report injured animals . Emblems and popular culture Main article : Kangaroo emblems and popular culture A kangaroo and an emu feature on the Australian coat of arms . The kangaroo is a recognisable symbol of Australia . The kangaroo and emu feature on the Australian Coat of Arms . Kangaroos have also been featured on coins , most notably the five kangaroos on the Australian one dollar coin . The Australian Made logo consists of a golden kangaroo in a green triangle to show that a product is grown or made in Australia . The kangaroo and wallaby feature predominantly in Australian sports teams names and mascots . Examples include the Australian national rugby league team ( the Kangaroos ) and the Australian national rugby union team ( the Wallabies ) . Australia 's national airline , Qantas , uses a bounding kangaroo for its logo . Kangaroos are well represented in films , television , books , toys and souvenirs around the world . Skippy the Bush Kangaroo was the star of the popular 1960s Australian children 's television series of the same name . Kangaroos are featured in the Rolf Harris song Tie Me Kangaroo Down , Sport and several Christmas carols . Meat Main article : Kangaroo meat Kangaroo meat on sale in Melbourne Historically , the kangaroo has been a source of food for indigenous Australians . Kangaroo meat is high in protein and low in fat ( about 2 % ) . Kangaroo meat has a high concentration of conjugated linoleic acid ( CLA ) compared with other foods , and is a rich source of vitamins and minerals . Low fat diets rich in CLA have been studied for their potential in reducing obesity and atherosclerosis . Most kangaroo meat is currently sourced from wild animals as a byproduct of population control programs . Kangaroos are hunted by licensed shooters in accordance with a strict code of practice and are protected by state and federal legislation . Kangaroo meat is exported to many countries around the world .

It was Arsenal 's first full season under French manager Arsène Wenger , who became the third manager to win the Premier League . Wenger followed in the footsteps of Alex Ferguson and Kenny Dalglish and , while both Ferguson and Dalglish were Scottish , Wenger was the first manager from outside the British Isles to win a league title in England .

European qualification ( edit ) At the end of the 1997 -- 98 FA Premier League season , a record total of nine English teams qualified for European competition .

Qualifying for the UEFA Cup Winners ' Cup were Chelsea ( as defending champions ) and FA Cup runners - up Newcastle United . Crystal Palace , while finishing bottom , qualified for the Intertoto Cup Relegated teams ( edit ) The gap between the Premier League and Division One of the Football League was highlighted at the end of 1997 -- 98 when all three newly promoted teams were relegated . Crystal Palace were confined to bottom place in the final table having won just two home games all season . Barnsley 's first season in the top division ended in relegation , although they did reach the FA Cup quarter finals and knock out Manchester United in the Fifth Round . Bolton Wanderers went down on goal difference , with 17th place being occupied by Everton : despite preserving top flight football there for the 45th season running , Howard Kendall quit as manager at Goodison Park after his third spell in charge . Another mark of the gap was that the three relegated teams in the previous season took the top three places in the 1997 -- 98 Football League . Had Sunderland not lost the play - off final to Charlton Athletic on penalty shootout , the 20 teams from 1998 -- 99 Premier League would have been exactly the same as those in the 1996 -- 97 Premier League . Player and managerial Awards ( edit ) PFA Players ' Player of the Year and Football Writers ' Association Footballer of the Year was Dennis Bergkamp of Arsenal .

Chelsea sacked Ruud Gullit after a dispute with the board in February 1998 and appointed 33 - year - old striker Gianluca Vialli as their new manager . Crystal Palace manager Steve Coppell was named as Director of football in March 1998 and temporarily replaced by 31 - year - old midfielder Attilio Lombardo and 28 - year - old striker Thomas Brolin . Lombardo and Brolin themselves resigned two weeks before the season ended , and former club owner Ron Noades and coach Ray Lewington acted as caretakers for the remainder of the season .

In March 2017 , NBC ordered six ( later eight ) hourlong episodes of the series . Ellen DeGeneres serves as host , while Stephen `` tWitch '' Boss appears as announcer / sidekick . The series is based on game segments from DeGeneres ' daytime talk show , The Ellen DeGeneres Show . A special preview episode aired on December 18 , 2017 , with the official series premiere on January 2 , 2018 . On January 9 , 2018 , NBC renewed the series for a 13 - episode second season . Contents ( hide ) 1 Series overview 2 Format 2.1 Preliminary games 2.2 Know or Go 2.3 Hot Hands 3 Reception 3.1 Ratings 4 References Series overview ( edit ) Season Episodes Originally aired Nielsen ratings First aired Last aired Rank Average viewers ( in millions ) 8 December 18 , 2017 ( 2017 - 12 - 18 ) February 6 , 2018 ( 2018 - 02 - 06 ) N / A N / A 13 N / A N / A N / A N / A Format ( edit ) Each episode is a self - contained mini-tournament with contestants being selected to play in one of four preliminary games . The winner of each game advances to the semi-final round to play `` Know or Go . '' The last remaining player will play the `` Hot Hands '' game for a chance to win $100,000 . Preliminary Games ( edit ) Aw Snap - Contestants are joined by a bungee cord . The first contestant to move five apples into a basket , using only their teeth , advances . Blindfolded Musical Chairs - Five contestants are blindfolded . In each of four heats , the contestants dance on a dance floor until the music stops ; Ellen then presses buttons that cause stools to rise up from the floor . The first contestant to sit on each chair advances ; the last contestant in each heat is eliminated . At the end of the fourth round , the winning contestant advances . Danger Word - Two teams of two compete . One member of each team stands by Ellen , and acts as a clue - giver ; the other member of the team sits behind three cannons . For each round , there is a `` winning word '' and a related `` danger word '' ( e.g. , winning word `` lettuce , '' danger word `` salad '' ) . The two teams then alternate giving clues , Password - style . If a guesser gives the winning word , the opposing team gets a strike ( and the opposing guesser gets sprayed with something from one of the cannons ) ; if a guesser gives the danger word , his or her team gets a strike , and he or she gets sprayed . The first team to get 3 strikes is eliminated , and the winning team chooses one contestant to play Know or Go . Dizzy Dash - Ellen reads a trivia question . Before contestants can answer , they are spun around to disorient them ; to answer the question , the contestants must run to a nearby podium and grab the ball on top of it . The first contestant to answer three questions correctly advances . Do n't Leave Me Hanging - Three contestants are suspended from harnesses . The contestants take turns coming up with answers that fit a given category , such as `` States that end in ' A ' . '' A category ends when one contestant gives an incorrect answer , repeats a previous answer , or takes too long to respond ; that contestant gets a strike . A contestant who gets 3 strikes is eliminated , and is launched to the top of the studio . In Your Face , Honey - Two couples compete against each other : one member from each couple attempting to throw a ball as close to the target as possible . Whichever couple accumulates the most points after two attempts decides who will advance to Know or Go . Make It Rain - Two contestants answer trivia questions asked by Ellen for turns at pulling down one of several umbrellas ; one of which contains a cash prize of $10,000 in addition to a chance at playing for Know or Go , the rest filled with water . Master Blaster - Three contestants compete to solve a jigsaw - style puzzle . The contestants are attached to bungee cords ; the losing contestants are `` blasted '' into the air . One - Eyed Monster - One at a time , contestants enter the monster . They must answer a question whose answer is 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , or 5 . For each number the contestant is off , he or she must pull one of the monster 's teeth ( e.g. , if the correct answer is 3 , saying either 2 or 4 results in pulling one tooth ) . However if the contestant gets the answer exactly right , he or she will not have to pull out any teeth and is safe . Pulling the wrong tooth causes the monster 's jaws to snap shut , eliminating the contestant . Say Whaaaat ? - Eight contestants form two teams of four . One member of the team must relay a message to the other member , who is wearing headphones and therefore must use lip reading . The team that collects the most points wins , and chooses one member to compete in Know or Go . if there is a tie the teams must do it again . Scary Go Round - Contestants must try to move three large balls across a series of rotating platforms within 3 minutes . The second contestant can fire balls from a `` ball blaster '' to impede the first contestant 's progress . The contestant who completes the task in the faster time wins . if there is a tie , both players must do it again . Tuba Toothpaste - Contestants are seated before a row of buttons shaped like valves on a tuba . Ellen then poses ridiculously hard trivia questions to each contestant in turn . When a contestant misses a question , Ellen spins a wheel to determine how many valves ( one , two , or three ) the contestant must press . but if a contestant somehow gets it right , he or she is safe . One of the valves causes the tuba to eject toothpaste at the contestant ; when that happens , the other contestant advances . You Bet Your Wife - Two teams of spouses or fiancés compete . Two husbands / fiancés bid auction - style on how many answers their wives / fiancés can give in a given category ( e.g. , `` national brands of toothpaste '' ) within 30 seconds . When one husband challenges , the other team 's wife must give the required number of responses ( there is no penalty for incorrect answers ) . Giving the required number of responses earns 1 point ; the opposing teams earns a point if the challenged team fails , with Ellen sending the wife / fiancé falling . The first team to earn 3 points wins , and then chooses one member of the pair to play Know or Go . Know or Go ( edit ) The 4 winning contestants of each preliminary game stand on a platform 30 feet in the air . One by one they are given a category , and each contestant is asked a question in turn from left to right . When a contestant misses a question or answers it incorrectly , the contestant is eliminated , and falls through a chute beneath his or her feet . The last contestant remaining wins and advances to Hot Hands . Hot Hands ( edit ) The contestant has 30 seconds to identify the faces of ten celebrities that fit a category ( `` 80s Stars '' in the premiere ) . After identifying a celebrity , the contestant must press a button to move on to the next face . Contestants may pass if they are unsure ; after three seconds , the next face automatically appears . Contestants earn an escalating amount of money based on the number of faces they correctly identify , as shown in the table below ; correctly identifying ten celebrities earns the grand prize of $100,000 .

Release date May 23 , 1984 ( 1984 - 05 - 23 ) ( Cannes ) June 1 , 1984 ( 1984 - 06 - 01 ) ( United States ) Running time 229 minutes ( European release ) 139 minutes ( US release ) Country United States Italy Language English Budget $30 million Box office $5.3 million Once Upon a Time in America is a 1984 epic crime drama film co-written and directed by Italian filmmaker Sergio Leone and starring Robert De Niro and James Woods . The film is an Italian - American venture produced by The Ladd Company , Embassy International Pictures , PSO Enterprises , and Rafran Cinematografica , and distributed by Warner Bros. Based on Harry Grey 's novel The Hoods , it chronicles the lives of best friends David `` Noodles '' Aaronson and Maximilian `` Max '' Bercovicz as they lead a group of Jewish ghetto youths who rise to prominence in New York City 's world of organized crime . The film explores themes of childhood friendships ; love , lust , greed , betrayal , loss , broken relationships , together with the rise of mobsters in American society . It was the final film directed by Leone before his death five years later , and the first feature film he had directed in 13 years . The cinematography was by Tonino Delli Colli , and the film score by Ennio Morricone . Leone originally envisaged two three - hour films , then a single 269 - minute ( 4 hours and 29 minutes ) version , but was convinced by distributors to shorten it to 229 minutes ( 3 hours and 49 minutes ) . The American distributors , The Ladd Company , further shortened it to 139 minutes , and rearranged the scenes into chronological order , without Leone 's involvement . The shortened version was a critical and commercial flop in the United States , and critics who had seen both versions harshly condemned the changes that were made . The original `` European cut '' has remained a critical favorite and frequently appears in lists of the greatest gangster films of all time .

Please help improve it by removing unnecessary details and making it more concise . ( March 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Gangsters enter a Chinese puppet theater , looking for a marked man . The proprietors slip into a hidden opium den and warn a man named `` Noodles '' , but he pays no attention . In a flashback , he watches the police remove three disfigured corpses from a street . He successfully kills one of the three thugs that are after him but learns that the thugs have murdered his girlfriend while looking for him and finds that someone else has stolen his money . He leaves the city . David `` Noodles '' Aaronson struggles as a street kid in Manhattan 's Lower East Side in 1920 . He and his friends Patrick `` Patsy '' Goldberg , Philip `` Cockeye '' Stein , and little Dominic commit petty crimes under the supervision of local boss Bugsy . Planning to rob a drunk at the moment a passing truck hides them from a policeman , they 're foiled by the older Max Bercovicz , who jumps off the truck to rob the man himself . Noodles confronts Max , but a crooked policeman steals the watch they were fighting over . Later , Max 's camera enables them to blackmail the policeman , who was having sex with a teenage girl , and thus start their own gang independent of Bugsy , who had previously enjoyed the policeman 's corrupt protection . The boys establish a suitcase money fund , which they hide in a locker at the railway station , giving the key to Fat Moe , a reliable friend who 's not part of the operation . Noodles is in love with Fat Moe 's sister Deborah , who aspires to be a dancer and actress . One day , Bugsy ambushes the boys and shoots little Dominic , who dies in Noodles ' arms , Noodles then stabs Bugsy to death and injures a police officer who tried to intervene . Noodles is arrested and sentenced to 12 years in prison . Adult Noodles is released from jail in 1932 and is reacquainted with his old gang : Max , Patsy , and Cockeye , who are now major players in the bootlegging industry during Prohibition . Noodles reunites with Deborah and tries to rekindle their relationship . Meanwhile , during a robbery , the gang meets Carol , who soon becomes Max 's girlfriend . The gang prospers from bootlegging under Prohibition , providing muscle for union boss Jimmy Conway O'Donnell . Noodles tries to impress Deborah on an extravagant date , then rapes her on their way home in a limousine , after which he becomes remorseful . The gang 's financial success ends with the repeal of Prohibition , when Max considers a suggestion to set up what was to become the Teamsters ' union , which Noodles refuses and leaves . Max runs after him and they go to Florida together . While there , Max suggests robbing the New York Federal Reserve Bank , but Noodles sees it as suicidal . Carol , who also fears for Max 's life , convinces Noodles to call the police on his friend for a minor offence , just to keep him in jail for a short time . Noodles does this at an end - of - Prohibition party . Shortly after , Max , who has followed him to the office , knocks him unconscious for calling him crazy . Regaining consciousness , Noodles finds out that Max , Patsy , and Cockeye have been killed by the police , and is consumed with guilt over making the phone call that led to the beginning scenes of the film . Noodles is then seen boarding the first bus to leave New York , going to Buffalo , where he will live in hiding under a fake identity for the next 35 years . In 1968 , Noodles receives a letter informing him that the cemetery where his friends are buried has been sold and asking him to make arrangements for their reburial . Realising that someone has deduced his identity , Noodles returns to Manhattan and stays with Fat Moe above his still - open restaurant . While visiting the new cemetery , Noodles finds there , visibly hung for him to take it , a key to the railway locker once kept by the gang , and further notes the license plate of a car that is following him there . Opening the locker , he discovers a suitcase full of cash , like the one kept there and taken away , now with a note saying the money is a down payment on his next job . Noodles hears about the lavish estate of Secretary Bailey , an embattled political figure whose name has been mentioned in news reports of the car explosion that killed the District Attorney . Noodles visits Carol , who lives at a retirement home run by the Bailey Foundation . She tells him that Max planted the idea of Carol and Noodles tipping off the police because he wanted to die rather than go insane like his father , who died in an asylum . He opened fire on the police to ensure his own death . While at the home , Noodles sees a photo of Deborah at the institution 's dedication . Noodles tracks down Deborah , now a successful actress . He questions her about Secretary Bailey , telling her that he has received an invitation to a party at Bailey 's house . Deborah claims not to know much about Bailey , but Noodles already knows they have lived together for years . In the end , Deborah tells him Bailey was a starving immigrant who married a very wealthy woman who died in childbirth . She begs him to not go to the party but leave via the back exit and not the main door of her dressing room , where a young man named David is waiting for her . Noodles leaves via the main door and Deborah explains that the young man is Secretary Bailey 's son , named David ( which is also Noodles ' given name ) . David bears an obvious resemblance to Max as a young man ( and is played by the same actor ) , implying that Secretary Bailey is Max . Secretary Bailey is revealed to be Max . Noodles meets with Max in his private room at the party . Max explains that corrupt policemen helped him fake his own death so that he could steal the gang 's money and steal Noodles ' love interest , Deborah , in order to begin a new life as Mr. Bailey , a man with contacts to the Teamsters ' union . Now faced with ruin and the spectre of a Teamster assassination , Max asks Noodles to kill him . Noodles refuses despite Max 's permission and goading , because , in his eyes , Max died with the gang . As Noodles leaves Bailey 's estate , he hears a garbage truck start up and looks back to see a man standing at the driveway 's gated entrance . As he begins to walk towards Noodles , the truck passes between them . As the truck passes , Noodles sees its auger grinding down rubbish , the man nowhere to be seen . In a flashback , a young adult Noodles enters the opium den after his gang 's murder , taking the drug and broadly grinning .

Louise Fletcher appears in the 2012 restoration as the director of the cemetery Noodles visits in 1968 . Production ( edit ) Development ( edit ) During the mid-1960s , Sergio Leone read the novel The Hoods by Harry Grey , a pseudonym for the former gangster - turned - informant whose real name was Harry Goldberg . In 1968 , after shooting Once Upon a Time in the West , Leone made many efforts to talk to Grey . Having enjoyed Leone 's Dollars Trilogy , Grey finally responded and agreed to meet with Leone at a Manhattan bar . Following that initial meeting , Leone met with Grey several times throughout the remainder of the 1960s and 1970s to understand America through Grey 's point of view . Intent on making another trilogy about America consisting of Once Upon a Time in the West , Duck , You Sucker ! and Once Upon a Time in America , Leone turned down an offer from Paramount Pictures to direct The Godfather in order to pursue his pet project . Casting ( edit ) Leone considered many actors for the film during the long development process . Originally , in 1975 , Gérard Depardieu , who was determined to learn English with a Brooklyn accent for the role , was cast as Max , with Jean Gabin playing the older Max . Richard Dreyfuss was cast as Noodles , with James Cagney playing the older Noodles . In 1980 , Leone spoke of casting Tom Berenger as Noodles , with Paul Newman playing the older Noodles . Among actors considered for the role of Max were Dustin Hoffman , Jon Voight , Harvey Keitel , John Malkovich , and John Belushi . Early in 1981 , Brooke Shields was offered the role of Deborah Gelly , after Leone had seen The Blue Lagoon , claiming that `` she had the potential to play a mature character . '' A writers ' strike delayed the project , and Shields withdrew before auditions began . Elizabeth McGovern was cast as Deborah and Jennifer Connelly as her younger self . Joe Pesci was among many to audition for Max . He got the smaller role of Frankie , partly as a favor to his friend De Niro . Danny Aiello auditioned for several roles and was ultimately cast as the police chief who ( coincidentally ) shares his surname . Claudia Cardinale ( who appeared in Once Upon a Time in the West ) wanted to play Carol , but Leone was afraid she would not be convincing as a New Yorker and turned her down . Filming ( edit ) The film was shot between June 14 , 1982 , and April 22 , 1983 . Leone tried , as he had with A Fistful of Dynamite , to produce the film with a young director under him . In the early days of the project he courted John Milius , a fan of his who was enthusiastic about the idea ; but Milius was working on The Wind and the Lion and the script for Apocalypse Now and could not commit to the project . For the film 's visual style , Leone used as references the paintings of such artists as Reginald Marsh , Edward Hopper , and Norman Rockwell , as well as ( for the 1922 sequences ) the photographs of Jacob Riis . F. Scott Fitzgerald 's novel The Great Gatsby influenced Noodles ' relationship with Deborah . Most exteriors were shot in New York City ( such as in Williamsburg along South 6th Street , where Fat Moe 's restaurant was based , and South 8th Street ) , but several key scenes were shot elsewhere . Most interiors were shot in Cinecittà in Rome . The beach scene , where Max unveils his plan to rob the Federal Reserve , was shot at the Don CeSar in St. Petersburg , Florida . The New York 's railway `` Grand Central Station '' scene in the thirties flashbacks was filmed in the Gare du Nord in Paris . The interiors of the lavish restaurant where Noodles takes Deborah on their date were shot in the Hotel Excelsior in Venice , Italy . The gang 's hit on Joe was filmed in Quebec . The view of the Manhattan Bridge shown in the film 's poster can be seen from Washington Street in Brooklyn . The shooting script , completed in October 1981 after many delays and a writers ' strike between April and July of that year , was 317 pages in length . Editing ( edit ) By the end of filming , Leone had eight to ten hours worth of footage . With his editor , Nino Baragli , Leone trimmed this to almost six hours , and he originally wanted to release the film in two parts , each three hours . The producers refused , partly because of the commercial and critical failure of Bertolucci 's two - part 1900 , and Leone was forced to further shorten it . The film was originally 269 minutes ( 4 hours and 29 minutes ) , but when the film premiered out of competition at the 1984 Cannes Film Festival , Leone had cut it to 229 minutes ( 3 hours and 49 minutes ) to appease the distributors , which was the version shown in European cinemas . However , the American wide release was edited further to 139 minutes ( 2 hours and 19 minutes ) by the studio , against the director 's wishes . Music ( edit ) The musical score was composed by Leone 's longtime collaborator Ennio Morricone . The film 's long production resulted in Morricone 's finishing the composition of most of the soundtrack before many scenes had been filmed . Some of Morricone 's pieces were played on set as filming took place , a technique that Leone had used for Once Upon a Time in the West . `` Deborah 's Theme '' was written for another film in the 1970s but was rejected ; Morricone presented the piece to Leone , who was initially reluctant to include it , considering it too similar to Morricone 's main title music for Once Upon a Time in the West . The score is also notable for Morricone 's incorporation of the music of Gheorghe Zamfir , who plays a pan flute . At times this music is used to convey remembrance , at other times terror . Zamfir 's flute music was used to similarly haunting effect in Peter Weir 's Picnic at Hanging Rock ( 1975 ) . Morricone also collaborated with vocalist Edda Dell'Orso on the score .

An instrumental version of the song also plays briefly during the dialogue scene between Noodles and `` Bailey '' towards the end of the film . `` Summertime '' ( written by George Gershwin -- 1935 ) An instrumental version of the aria from the opera Porgy and Bess is playing softly in the background as Noodles , just before leaving , explains to `` Secretary Bailey '' why he could never kill his friend . `` Amapola '' ( written by Joseph LaCalle , American lyrics by Albert Gamse -- 1923 ) -- Originally an opera piece , several instrumental versions of this song were played during the film ; a jazzy version , which was played on the gramophone danced to by young Deborah in 1922 ; a similar version played by Fat Moe 's jazz band in the speakeasy in 1932 ; and a string version , during Noodles ' date with Deborah . It has been suggested that Leone used this piece after hearing a version of it in the film Carnal Knowledge , though this has not been confirmed . Both versions are available on the soundtrack . `` La gazza ladra '' overture ( Gioachino Rossini -- 1817 ) -- Used during the famous baby - switching scene in the hospital . `` Night and Day '' ( written and sung by Cole Porter -- 1932 ) -- Played by a jazz band during the beach scene before the beachgoers receive word of Prohibition 's repeal , and during the party at the house of `` Secretary Bailey '' in 1968 . `` St. James Infirmary Blues '' is used during the Prohibition `` funeral '' at the gang 's speakeasy . Release ( edit ) Once Upon a Time in America premiered at the 1984 Cannes Film Festival on 23 May and received a `` 15 - minute standing ovation '' . In the United States , the film received a wide release in 894 theaters on June 1 , 1984 and grossed $2.4 million during its opening weekend . It ended its box office run with a gross of just over $5.3 million on a $30 million budget , and became labeled as a box office flop . The financial and critical disaster of the American release almost bankrupted The Ladd Company . Eventually , the film premiered in Leone 's native Italy out of competition at the 41st Venice International Film Festival in September 1984 . That same month , the film was released wide in Italy on September 28 , 1984 in its 229 - minute version . Versions ( edit ) Several different versions of Once Upon a Time in America have been shown . The original European release version ( 1984 , 229 minutes ) was shown internationally . US excisions ( edit ) This section may be confusing or unclear to readers . In particular , its use of the term `` excised '' . Please help us clarify the section . There might be a discussion about this on the talk page . ( April 2018 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The film was shown in limited release and for film critics in America , where it was slightly trimmed to secure an `` R '' rating . Cuts were made to two rape scenes and some of the more graphic violence at the beginning . Noodles ' meeting with Bailey in 1968 was also excised . The film gained a mediocre reception at several sneak premieres in North America . Because of this early audience reaction , the fear of its length , its graphic violence , and the inability of theaters to have multiple showings in one day , the decision was made by The Ladd Company to make many edits and cut entire scenes without the supervision of Sergio Leone . This American wide release ( 1984 , 139 minutes ) was drastically different from the European release , as the non-chronological story was rearranged into chronological order . Other major cuts involved many of the childhood sequences , making the adult 1933 sections more prominent . Noodles ' 1968 meeting with Deborah was excised , and the scene with Bailey ends with him shooting himself ( with the sound of a gunshot off screen ) rather than the garbage truck conclusion of the 229 - minute version . Ussr ( edit ) In the Soviet Union , the film was shown theatrically in the late 1980s , with other Hollywood blockbusters such as the two King Kong films . The story was rearranged in chronological order and the film was split in two , with the two parts shown as separate movies , one containing the childhood scenes and the other comprising the adulthood scenes . Despite the rearranging , no major scene deletions were made . It was rated `` 16 + '' by the Goskino . Tv compilation ( edit ) A network television version was shown in the early to mid-1990s with a running time of almost three hours ( excluding commercials ) . While it retained the film 's original non-chronological order , many key scenes involving violence and graphic content were left out . This version was a one - off showing , and no copies are known to exist . Restored original ( edit ) Robert De Niro and Elizabeth McGovern at the screening of the film 's restored version , during the 2012 Cannes Film Festival . In March 2011 , it was announced that Leone 's original 269 - minute version was to be re-created by a film lab in Italy under the supervision of Leone 's children , who had acquired the Italian distribution rights , and the film 's original sound editor , Fausto Ancillai , for a premiere in 2012 at either the Cannes Film Festival or Venice Film Festival . The restored film premiered at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival , but because of unforeseen rights issues for the deleted scenes , the restoration had a runtime of only 251 minutes . However , Martin Scorsese ( whose Film Foundation helped with the restoration ) stated that he is helping Leone 's children gain the rights to the final 24 minutes of deleted scenes to create a complete restoration of Leone 's envisaged 269 - minute version . On August 3 , 2012 , it was reported that after the premiere at Cannes , the restored film was pulled from circulation , pending further restoration work . Home Media ( edit ) In North America , the heavily edited 139 - minute version was made available on DVD in the late 1990s . This was followed by a two - disc special edition release on June 10 , 2003 , featuring the 229 - minute version of the film . This special edition was rereleased on January 11 , 2011 , on both DVD and Blu - ray . On September 30 , 2014 , Warner Bros. released a two - disc Blu - ray and DVD set of the 251 - minute restoration shown at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival , dubbed the Extended Director 's Cut . This version was previously released in Italy , on September 4 , 2012 . Critical reception ( edit ) This paragraph needs additional citations for verification . ( October 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The initial critical response to Once Upon a Time in America was mixed , because of the different versions released worldwide . While internationally the film was well received in its original form , American critics were much more dissatisfied with the 139 - minute version released in North America . This condensed version was a critical and financial disaster , and many American critics who knew of Leone 's original cut attacked the short version . Some critics compared shortening the film to shortening Richard Wagner 's operas , saying that works of art that are meant to be long should be given the respect they deserve . Roger Ebert wrote in his 1984 review that the uncut version was `` an epic poem of violence and greed '' but described the American theatrical version as a `` travesty '' . Ebert 's television film critic partner Gene Siskel considered the uncut version to be the best film of 1984 . It was only after Leone 's death and the subsequent restoration of the original version that critics began to give it the kind of praise displayed at its original Cannes showing . The uncut original film is considered to be far superior to the edited version released in the US in 1984 . Ebert , in his review of Brian De Palma 's The Untouchables , called the original uncut version of Once Upon a Time in America the best film depicting the Prohibition era . James Woods , who considers it to be Leone 's finest film , mentioned in the DVD documentary that one critic dubbed the film the worst of 1984 , only to see the original cut years later and call it the best of the 1980s . The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reports an 86 % approval rating with an average rating of 8.6 / 10 based on 50 reviews . The website 's consensus reads , `` Sergio Leone 's epic crime drama is visually stunning , stylistically bold , and emotionally haunting , and filled with great performances from the likes of Robert De Niro and James Woods . '' The film has since been ranked as one of the best films of the gangster genre . When Sight & Sound asked several UK critics in 2002 what their favorite films of the last 25 years were , Once Upon a Time in America placed at number 10 . In 2015 , the film was ranked at number nine on Time Out 's list of the 50 best gangster films of all time . Interpretations ( edit ) As the film begins and ends in 1933 , with Noodles hiding in an opium den from syndicate hitmen , and the last shot of the film is of Noodles in a smiling , opium - soaked high , the film can be interpreted as having been a drug - induced dream , with Noodles remembering his past and envisioning the future . In an interview by Noël Simsolo published in 1987 , Leone confirms the validity of this interpretation , saying that the scenes set in the 1960s could be seen as an opium dream of Noodles ' . In the DVD commentary for the film , film historian and critic Richard Schickel states that opium users often report vivid dreams , and that these visions have a tendency to explore the user 's past and future . Many people ( including Schickel ) assume that the 1968 Frisbee scene , which has an immediate cut and gives no further resolution , was part of a longer sequence . Ebert stated that the purpose of the flying disc scene was to establish the 1960s time frame and nothing more . Accolades ( edit ) Despite its modern critical success , the initial American release did not fare well with critics and received no Academy Award nominations .

Tordesillas line depicted , Biblioteca Estense , Modena The Age of Discovery or the Age of Exploration from the end of the 15th century to the 18th century , was an informal and loosely defined European historical period marking the time period in which extensive overseas exploration emerged as a powerful factor in European culture and the beginning of globalization . It also marks the rise of the period of widespread adoption in Europe of colonialism and mercantilism . Many lands previously unknown to Europeans were discovered during this period , though most were already inhabited . From the perspective of many non-Europeans , the Age of Discovery marked the arrival of invaders from previously unknown continents . Global exploration started with the Portuguese discoveries of the Atlantic archipelagos of Madeira and the Azores , the coast of Africa , and the discovery of the sea route to India in 1498 ; and , on behalf of the Crown of Castile ( Spain ) , the trans - Atlantic Voyages of Christopher Columbus between 1492 and 1502 , and the first circumnavigation of the globe in 1519 -- 1522 . These discoveries led to numerous naval expeditions across the Atlantic , Indian and Pacific oceans , and land expeditions in the Americas , Asia , Africa , and Australia that continued into the late 19th century , and ended with the exploration of the polar regions in the 20th century . European overseas exploration led to the rise of global trade and the European colonial empires , with the contact between the Old World ( Europe , Asia and Africa ) and the New World ( the Americas and Australia ) producing the Columbian Exchange ; a wide transfer of plants , animals , food , human populations ( including slaves ) , communicable diseases and culture between the Eastern and Western Hemispheres . This represented one of the most - significant global events concerning ecology , agriculture , and culture in history . The Age of Discovery and later European exploration allowed the global mapping of the world , resulting in a new world - view and distant civilizations coming into contact , but also led to the propagation of diseases that decimated populations not previously in contact with Eurasia and Africa , and to the enslavement , exploitation , military conquest , and economic dominance of Europe and its colonies over native populations . It also allowed for the expansion of Christianity throughout the world with the spread of missionary activity , becoming the world 's largest religion .

Under Henry 's direction , a new and much lighter ship was developed , the caravel , which could sail further and faster , and , above all , was highly manoeuvrable and could sail much nearer the wind , or into the wind . In 1488 Bartolomeu Dias reached the Indian Ocean by this route . In 1492 the Catholic Monarchs of Castile and Aragon funded Christopher Columbus 's plan to sail west to reach the Indies by crossing the Atlantic . He landed on a continent uncharted by Europeans and seen as a new world , the Americas . To prevent conflict between Portugal and Castile ( the crown under which Columbus made the voyage ) , the Treaty of Tordesillas was signed dividing the world into two regions of exploration , where each had exclusive rights to claim newly discovered lands . In 1498 , a Portuguese expedition commanded by Vasco da Gama reached India by sailing around Africa , opening up direct trade with Asia . While other exploratory fleets were sent from Portugal to northern North America , in the following years Portuguese India Armadas also extended this Eastern oceanic route , touching sometimes South America and by this way opening a circuit from the New World to Asia ( starting in 1500 , under the command of Pedro Alvares Cabral ) , and explored islands in the South Atlantic and Southern Indian Oceans . Soon , the Portuguese sailed further eastward , to the valuable Spice Islands in 1512 , landing in China one year later . In 1513 , Spanish Vasco Núñez de Balboa crossed the Isthmus of Panama and reached the `` other sea '' from the New World . Thus , Europe first received news of the eastern and western Pacific within a one - year span around 1512 . East and west exploration overlapped in 1522 , when a Castilian ( Spanish ) expedition , led by Portuguese navigator Ferdinand Magellan and later by Spanish Basque navigator Juan Sebastián Elcano , sailing westward , completed the first circumnavigation of the world , while Spanish conquistadors explored the interior of the Americas , and later , some of the South Pacific islands . Since 1495 , the French and English and , much later , the Dutch entered the race of exploration after learning of these exploits , defying the Iberian monopoly on maritime trade by searching for new routes , first to the western coasts of North and South America , through the first English and French expeditions ( starting with the first expedition of John Cabot in 1497 to the north , in the service of England , followed by the French expeditions to South America and later to North America ) , and into the Pacific Ocean around South America , but eventually by following the Portuguese around Africa into the Indian Ocean ; discovering Australia in 1606 , New Zealand in 1642 , and Hawaii in 1778 . Meanwhile , from the 1580s to the 1640s , Russians explored and conquered almost the whole of Siberia , and Alaska in the 1730s . Background ( edit ) See also : Early world maps and Chronology of European exploration of Asia Technology : ship design and the compass ( edit ) A large dhow with two lateen sail rigs and a headsail . Dhows had superior maneuverability and were used in the Indian Ocean before being built in Europe in the 13th century . Technological advancements that were important to the Age of Exploration were the adoption of the magnetic compass and advances in ship design . The compass allowed ships to sail shorter open water routes and avoid the dangers hugging of the shore , such as rocks and pirates . The compass had been used for navigation in China by the 11th century and was adopted by the Arab traders in the Indian Ocean . It spread to Europe by the late 12th or early 13th century . Pintle - and - gudgeon stern - post rudder of the Hanseatic league flagship Adler von Lübeck ( 1567 -- 1581 The Chinese also made several important improvements in ship design , such as the sternpost rudder , multiple masts and lateen sails . These improvements gave greater maneuverability and allowed ships to sail at any time of the year . These new style ships were produced in Italian states between 1280 and 1330 , resulting in boost in trade and connectivity between northern and southern Europe . Geography and maps ( edit ) European medieval knowledge about Asia beyond the reach of the Byzantine Empire was sourced in partial reports , often obscured by legends , dating back from the time of the conquests of Alexander the Great and his successors . Another source was the Radhanite Jewish trade networks of merchants established as go - betweens between Europe and the Muslim world during the time of the Crusader states . Ptolemy 's world map ( 2nd century ) in a 15th - century reconstruction In 1154 , the Arab geographer Muhammad al - Idrisi created a description of the world and a world map , the Tabula Rogeriana , at the court of King Roger II of Sicily , but still Africa was only partially known to either Christians , Genoese and Venetians , or the Arab seamen , and its southern extent unknown . There were reports of great African Sahara , but the factual knowledge was limited for the Europeans to the Mediterranean coasts and little else since the Arab blockade of North Africa precluded exploration inland . Knowledge about the Atlantic African coast was fragmented and derived mainly from old Greek and Roman maps based on Carthaginian knowledge , including the time of Roman exploration of Mauritania . The Red Sea was barely known and only trade links with the Maritime republics , the Republic of Venice especially , fostered collection of accurate maritime knowledge . Indian Ocean trade routes were sailed by Arab traders . Between 1405 and 1421 , the Yongle Emperor of Ming China sponsored a series of long range tributary missions under the command of Zheng He ( Cheng Ho ) . The fleets visited Arabia , East Africa , India , Maritime Southeast Asia and Thailand . But the journeys , reported by Ma Huan , a Muslim voyager and translator , were halted abruptly after the emperor 's death and were not followed up , as the Chinese Ming Dynasty retreated in the haijin , a policy of isolationism , having limited maritime trade . By 1400 a Latin translation of Ptolemy 's Geographia reached Italy coming from Constantinople . The rediscovery of Roman geographical knowledge was a revelation , both for mapmaking and worldview , although reinforcing the idea that the Indian Ocean was landlocked . Medieval travel ( 1241 -- 1438 ) ( edit ) The Silk Road and spice trade routes later blocked by the Ottoman Empire in 1453 spurring exploration to find alternative sea routes Marco Polo travels ( 1271 -- 1295 ) A prelude to the Age of Discovery was a series of European expeditions crossing Eurasia by land in the late Middle Ages . Although the Mongols had threatened Europe with pillage and destruction , Mongol states also unified much of Eurasia and , from 1206 on , the Pax Mongolica allowed safe trade routes and communication lines stretching from the Middle East to China . A series of Europeans took advantage of these to explore eastwards . Most were Italians , as trade between Europe and the Middle East was controlled mainly by the Maritime republics . The close Italian links to the Levant raised great curiosity and commercial interest in countries which lay further east . Christian embassies were sent as far as Karakorum during the Mongol invasions of the Levant , from which they gained a greater understanding of the world . The first of these travellers was Giovanni da Pian del Carpine , dispatched by Pope Innocent IV to the Great Khan , who journeyed to Mongolia and back from 1241 to 1247 . About the same time , Russian prince Yaroslav of Vladimir , and subsequently his sons Alexander Nevsky and Andrey II of Vladimir , travelled to the Mongolian capital . Though having strong political implications , their journeys left no detailed accounts . Other travellers followed , like French André de Longjumeau and Flemish William of Rubruck , who reached China through Central Asia . Marco Polo , a Venetian merchant , dictated an account of journeys throughout Asia from 1271 to 1295 , describing being a guest at the Yuan Dynasty court of Kublai Khan in Travels , and it was read throughout Europe . In 1291 , in a first Atlantic exploration attempt , merchant brothers Vadino and Ugolino Vivaldi sailed from Genoa with two galleys but disappeared off the Moroccan coast , feeding the fears of oceanic travel . From 1325 to 1354 , a Moroccan scholar from Tangier , Ibn Battuta , journeyed through North Africa , the Sahara desert , West Africa , Southern Europe , Eastern Europe , the Horn of Africa , the Middle East and Asia , having reached China . After returning , he dictated an account of his journeys to a scholar he met in Granada , the Rihla ( `` The Journey '' ) , the unheralded source on his adventures . Between 1357 and 1371 a book of supposed travels compiled by John Mandeville acquired extraordinary popularity . Despite the unreliable and often fantastical nature of its accounts it was used as a reference for the East , Egypt , and the Levant in general , asserting the old belief that Jerusalem was the centre of the world . Following the period of Timurid relations with Europe , in 1439 Niccolò de ' Conti published an account of his travels as a Muslim merchant to India and Southeast Asia and , later in 1466 -- 1472 , Russian merchant Afanasy Nikitin of Tver travelled to India , which he described in his book A Journey Beyond the Three Seas . These overland journeys had little immediate effect . The Mongol Empire collapsed almost as quickly as it formed and soon the route to the east became more difficult and dangerous . The Black Death of the 14th century also blocked travel and trade . The rise of the Ottoman Empire further limited the possibilities of European overland trade . Chinese missions ( 1405 -- 1433 ) ( edit ) Further information : Treasure voyages and Chinese exploration `` Mao Kun map '' , believed to be based on Zheng He 's travels , showing sailing directions between ports of SE Asia and as far as Malindi , in Wu Bei Zhi ( 1628 ) The Chinese had wide connections through trade in Asia and had been sailing to Arabia , East Africa , and Egypt since the Tang Dynasty ( AD 618 -- 907 ) . Between 1405 and 1421 the third Ming emperor Yongle sponsored a series of long range tributary missions in the Indian Ocean under the command of admiral Zheng He ( Cheng Ho ) . A large fleet of new junk ships was prepared for these international diplomatic expeditions . The largest of these junks -- that the Chinese termed bao chuan ( treasure ships ) -- may have measured 121 metres ( 400 feet ) stem to stern , and thousands of sailors were involved . The first expedition departed in 1405 . At least seven well - documented expeditions were launched , each bigger and more expensive than the last . The fleets visited Arabia , East Africa , India , Malay Archipelago and Thailand ( at the time called Siam ) , exchanging goods along the way . They presented gifts of gold , silver , porcelain and silk ; in return , received such novelties as ostriches , zebras , camels , ivory and giraffes . After the emperor 's death , Zheng He led a final expedition departing from Nanking in 1431 and returning to Beijing in 1433 . It is very likely that this last expedition reached as far as Madagascar . The travels were reported by Ma Huan , a Muslim voyager and translator who accompanied Zeng He on three of the seven expeditions , his account published as `` Ying - Yai Sheng - Lam '' ( Overall Survey of the Ocean 's Shores ) ( 1433 ) These long distance journeys were not followed up , as the Chinese Ming dynasty retreated in the haijin , a policy of isolationism , having limited maritime trade . Travels were halted abruptly after the emperor 's death , as the Chinese lost interest in what they termed barbarian lands turning inward , and successor emperors felt the expeditions were harmful to the Chinese state ; Hongxi Emperor ended further expeditions and Xuande Emperor suppressed much of the information about Zheng He 's voyages . Atlantic Ocean ( 1419 -- 1507 ) ( edit ) See also : Maritime history of Europe and Portuguese discoveries Genoese ( red ) and Venetian ( green ) maritime trade routes in the Mediterranean and Black Sea From the 8th century until the 15th century , the Republic of Venice and neighbouring maritime republics held the monopoly of European trade with the Middle East . The silk and spice trade , involving spices , incense , herbs , drugs and opium , made these Mediterranean city - states phenomenally rich . Spices were among the most expensive and demanded products of the Middle Ages , as they were used in medieval medicine , religious rituals , cosmetics , perfumery , as well as food additives and preservatives . They were all imported from Asia and Africa . Muslim traders -- mainly descendants of Arab sailors from Yemen and Oman -- dominated maritime routes throughout the Indian Ocean , tapping source regions in the Far East and shipping for trading emporiums in India , mainly Kozhikode , westward to Ormus in the Persian Gulf and Jeddah in the Red Sea . From there , overland routes led to the Mediterranean coasts . Venetian merchants distributed the goods through Europe until the rise of the Ottoman Empire , that eventually led to the fall of Constantinople in 1453 , barring Europeans from important combined - land - sea routes . Forced to reduce their activities in the Black Sea , and at war with Venice , the Genoese had turned to North African trade of wheat , olive oil ( valued also as an energy source ) and a search for silver and gold . Europeans had a constant deficit in silver and gold , as coin only went one way : out , spent on eastern trade that was now cut off . Several European mines were exhausted , the lack of bullion leading to the development of a complex banking system to manage the risks in trade ( the very first state bank , Banco di San Giorgio , was founded in 1407 at Genoa ) . Sailing also into the ports of Bruges ( Flanders ) and England , Genoese communities were then established in Portugal , who profited from their enterprise and financial expertise . European sailing had been primarily close to land cabotage , guided by portolan charts . These charts specified proven ocean routes guided by coastal landmarks : sailors departed from a known point , followed a compass heading , and tried to identify their location by its landmarks . For the first oceanic exploration Western Europeans used the compass , as well as progressive new advances in cartography and astronomy . Arab navigational tools like the astrolabe and quadrant were used for celestial navigation . Portuguese exploration ( edit ) See also : Portuguese discoveries and European exploration of Africa Saharan trade routes c. 1400 , with modern Niger highlighted In 1297 , with the Portuguese part of the reconquista completed , King Dinis of Portugal took personal interest in exports and in 1317 he made an agreement with Genoese merchant sailor Manuel Pessanha ( Pesagno ) , appointing him first admiral of the Portuguese navy , with the goal of defending the country against Muslim pirate raids . Outbreaks of bubonic plague led to severe depopulation in the second half of the 14th century : only the sea offered alternatives , with most population settling in fishing and trading coastal areas . Between 1325 and 1357 Afonso IV of Portugal encouraged maritime commerce and ordered the first explorations . The Canary Islands , already known to the Genoese , were claimed as officially discovered under patronage of the Portuguese but in 1344 Castile disputed them , expanding their rivalry into the sea . In 1415 , Ceuta was conquered by the Portuguese aiming to control navigation of the African coast . Young prince Henry the Navigator was there and became aware of profit possibilities in the Trans - Saharan trade routes . For centuries slave and gold trade routes linking West Africa with the Mediterranean passed over the Western Sahara Desert , controlled by the Moors of North Africa . Henry wished to know how far Muslim territories in Africa extended , hoping to bypass them and trade directly with West Africa by sea , find allies in legendary Christian lands to the south like the long - lost Christian kingdom of Prester John and to probe whether it was possible to reach the Indies by sea , the source of the lucrative spice trade . He invested in sponsoring voyages down the coast of Mauritania , gathering a group of merchants , shipowners and stakeholders interested in new sea lanes . Soon the Atlantic islands of Madeira ( 1419 ) and the Azores ( 1427 ) were reached . In particular , they were discovered by voyages launched by the command of Prince Henry the Navigator . The expedition leader himself , who established settlements on the island of Madeira , was João Gonçalves Zarco . At the time , Europeans did not know what lay beyond Cape Non ( Cape Chaunar ) on the African coast , and whether it was possible to return once it was crossed . Nautical myths warned of oceanic monsters or an edge of the world , but Prince Henry 's navigation challenged such beliefs : starting in 1421 , systematic sailing overcame it , reaching the difficult Cape Bojador that in 1434 one of Prince Henry 's captains , Gil Eanes , finally passed . A major advance was the introduction of the caravel in the mid-15th century , a small ship able to sail windward more than any other in Europe at the time . Evolved from fishing ships designs , they were the first that could leave the coastal cabotage navigation and sail safely on the open Atlantic . For celestial navigation the Portuguese used the Ephemerides , which experienced a remarkable diffusion in the 15th century . These were astronomical charts plotting the location of the stars over a distinct period of time . Published in 1496 by the Jewish astronomer , astrologer , and mathematician Abraham Zacuto , the Almanach Perpetuum included some of these tables for the movements of stars . These tables revolutionized navigation , allowing the calculation of latitude . Exact longitude , however , remained elusive , and mariners struggled to determine it for centuries . Using the caravel , systematic exploration continued ever more southerly , advancing on average one degree a year . Senegal and Cape Verde Peninsula were reached in 1445 and in 1446 , Álvaro Fernandes pushed on almost as far as present - day Sierra Leone . In 1453 the fall of Constantinople to the hands of the Ottomans was a blow to Christendom and the established business relations linking with the east . In 1455 Pope Nicholas V issued the bull Romanus Pontifex reinforcing the previous Dum Diversas ( 1452 ) , granting all lands and seas discovered beyond Cape Bojador to King Afonso V of Portugal and his successors , as well as trade and conquest against Muslims and pagans , initiating a mare clausum policy in the Atlantic . The king , who had been inquiring of Genoese experts about a seaway to India , commissioned the Fra Mauro world map , which arrived in Lisbon in 1459 . In 1456 Diogo Gomes reached the Cape Verde archipelago . In the next decade several captains at the service of Prince Henry -- including the Genoese Antonio da Noli and Venetian Alvise Cadamosto -- discovered the remaining islands which were occupied during the 15th century . The Gulf of Guinea would be reached in the 1460s . Replica of caravel ship introduced in the mid-15th century for oceanic exploration Portuguese exploration after Prince Henry ( edit ) In 1460 Pedro de Sintra reached Sierra Leone . Prince Henry died in November that year after which , given the meagre revenues , exploration was granted to Lisbon merchant Fernão Gomes in 1469 , who in exchange for the monopoly of trade in the Gulf of Guinea had to explore 100 miles ( 161 kilometres ) each year for five years . With his sponsorship , explorers João de Santarém , Pedro Escobar , Lopo Gonçalves , Fernão do Pó , and Pedro de Sintra made it even beyond those goals . They reached the Southern Hemisphere and the islands of the Gulf of Guinea , including São Tomé and Príncipe and Elmina on the Gold Coast in 1471 . ( In the Southern Hemisphere , they used the Southern Cross as the reference for celestial navigation . ) There , in what came to be called the `` Gold Coast '' in what is today Ghana , a thriving alluvial gold trade was found among the natives and Arab and Berber traders . In 1478 ( during the War of the Castilian Succession ) , near the coast at Elmina was fought a large battle between a Castilian armada of 35 caravels and a Portuguese fleet for hegemony of the Guinea trade ( gold , slaves , ivory and melegueta pepper ) . The war ended with a Portuguese naval victory followed by the official recognition by the Catholic Monarchs of Portuguese sovereignty over most of the disputed West African territories embodied in the Treaty of Alcáçovas , 1479 . ( See entry on Elmina . ) This was the first colonial war among European powers . In 1481 the recently crowned João II decided to build São Jorge da Mina factory . In 1482 the Congo River was explored by Diogo Cão , who in 1486 continued to Cape Cross ( modern Namibia ) . The next crucial breakthrough was in 1488 , when Bartolomeu Dias rounded the southern tip of Africa , which he named `` Cape of Storms '' ( Cabo das Tormentas ) , anchoring at Mossel Bay and then sailing east as far as the mouth of the Great Fish River , proving that the Indian Ocean was accessible from the Atlantic . Simultaneously Pêro da Covilhã , sent out travelling secretly overland , had reached Ethiopia having collected important information about the Red Sea and Quenia coast , suggesting that a sea route to the Indies would soon be forthcoming . Soon the cape was renamed by king John II of Portugal the `` Cape of Good Hope '' ( Cabo da Boa Esperança ) , because of the great optimism engendered by the possibility of a sea route to India , proving false the view that had existed since Ptolemy that the Indian Ocean was land - locked . Based on much later stories of the phantom island known as Bacalao and the carvings on Dighton Rock some have speculated that Portuguese explorer João Vaz Corte - Real discovered Newfoundland in 1473 , but the sources cited are considered by mainstream historians to be unreliable and unconvincing . Spanish exploration : Columbus and the west Indies ( edit ) See also : Voyages of Christopher Columbus and European colonization of the Americas The four voyages of Christopher Columbus 1492 -- 1503 Portugal 's neighbouring fellow Iberian rival , Castile , had begun to establish its rule over the Canary Islands , located off the west African coast , in 1402 , but then became distracted by internal Iberian politics and the repelling of Islamic invasion attempts and raids through most of the 15th century . Only late in the century , following the unification of the crowns of Castile and Aragon and the completion of the reconquista , did an emerging modern Spain become fully committed to the search for new trade routes overseas . The Crown of Aragon had been an important maritime potentate in the Mediterranean , controlling territories in eastern Spain , southwestern France , major islands like Sicily , Malta , and the Kingdom of Naples and Sardinia , with mainland possessions as far as Greece . In 1492 the joint rulers conquered the Moorish kingdom of Granada , which had been providing Castile with African goods through tribute , and decided to fund Christopher Columbus 's expedition in the hope of bypassing Portugal 's monopoly on west African sea routes , to reach `` the Indies '' ( east and south Asia ) by travelling west . Twice before , in 1485 and 1488 , Columbus had presented the project to king John II of Portugal , who rejected it . On the evening of 3 August 1492 , Columbus departed from Palos de la Frontera with three ships ; one larger carrack , Santa María , nicknamed Gallega ( the Galician ) , and two smaller caravels , Pinta ( the Painted ) and Santa Clara , nicknamed Niña . Columbus first sailed to the Canary Islands , where he restocked for what turned out to be a five - week voyage across the ocean , crossing a section of the Atlantic that became known as the Sargasso Sea . Land was sighted on 12 October 1492 , and Columbus called the island ( now The Bahamas ) San Salvador , in what he thought to be the `` West Indies '' . Columbus also explored the northeast coast of Cuba ( landed on 28 October ) and the northern coast of Hispaniola , by 5 December . He was received by the native cacique Guacanagari , who gave him permission to leave some of his men behind . Replicas of Niña , Pinta and Santa María at Palos de la Frontera , Spain Columbus left 39 men and founded the settlement of La Navidad in what is now Haiti . Before returning to Spain , he kidnapped some ten to twenty - five natives and took them back with him . Only seven or eight of the native ' Indians ' arrived in Spain alive , but they made quite an impression on Seville . On the return , a storm forced him to dock in Lisbon , on 4 March 1493 . After a week in Portugal , he set sail for Spain and on 15 March 1493 arrived in Barcelona , where he reported to Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand . Word of his discovery of new lands rapidly spread throughout Europe . Columbus and other Spanish explorers were initially disappointed with their discoveries -- unlike Africa or Asia , the Caribbean islanders had little to trade with the Castilian ships . The islands thus became the focus of colonization efforts . It was not until the continent itself was explored that Spain found the wealth it had sought . Treaty of Tordesillas ( 1494 ) ( edit ) Main article : Treaty of Tordesillas The 1494 Tordesilhas Treaty meridian ( purple ) and the later Maluku Islands antimeridian ( green ) , set at the Treaty of Zaragoza ( 1529 ) Shortly after Columbus 's return from what would later be called the `` West Indies '' , a division of influence became necessary to avoid conflict between the Spanish and Portuguese . On 4 May 1493 , two months after Columbus 's arrival , the Catholic Monarchs received a bull ( Inter caetera ) from Pope Alexander VI stating that all lands west and south of a pole - to - pole line 100 leagues west and south of the Azores or the Cape Verde Islands should belong to Castile and , later , all mainlands and islands then belonging to India . It did not mention Portugal , which could not claim newly discovered lands east of the line . King John II of Portugal was not pleased with the arrangement , feeling that it gave him far too little land -- preventing him from reaching India , his main goal . He then negotiated directly with King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain to move the line west , and allowing him to claim newly discovered lands east of it . An agreement was reached in 1494 , with the Treaty of Tordesillas that divided the world between the two powers . In this treaty the Portuguese received everything outside Europe east of a line that ran 370 leagues west of the Cape Verde islands ( already Portuguese ) , and the islands discovered by Christopher Columbus on his first voyage ( claimed for Castile ) , named in the treaty as Cipangu and Antilia ( Cuba and Hispaniola ) . This gave them control over Africa , Asia and eastern South America ( Brazil ) . The Spanish ( Castile ) received everything west of this line . At the time of negotiation , the treaty split the known world of Atlantic islands roughly in half , with the dividing line about halfway between Portuguese Cape Verde and the Spanish discoveries in the Caribbean . Pedro Álvares Cabral encountered in 1500 what is now known as the Brazilian coast , originally thought to be a large island . Since it was east of the dividing line , he claimed it for Portugal and this was respected by the Spanish . Portuguese ships sailed west into the Atlantic to get favourable winds for the journey to India , and this is where Cabral was headed on his journey , in a corridor the treaty was negotiated to protect . Some suspect the Portuguese had secretly discovered Brazil earlier , and this is why they had the line moved eastward and how Cabral found it , but there is no reliable evidence of this . Others suspect Duarte Pacheco Pereira secretly discovered Brazil in 1498 , but this not considered credible by mainstream historians . Later the Spanish territory would prove to include huge areas of the continental mainland of North and South America , though Portuguese - controlled Brazil would expand across the line , and settlements by other European powers ignored the treaty . A New world : Americas ( edit ) Detail of 1507 Waldseemüller map showing the name `` America '' for the first time . Very little of the divided area had actually been seen by Europeans , as it was only divided by a geographical definition rather than control on the ground . Columbus 's first voyage in 1492 spurred maritime exploration and , from 1497 , a number of explorers headed west . North America ( edit ) That year John Cabot , also a commissioned Italian , got letters patent from King Henry VII of England . Sailing from Bristol , probably backed by the local Society of Merchant Venturers , Cabot crossed the Atlantic from a northerly latitude hoping the voyage to the `` West Indies '' would be shorter and made a landfall somewhere in North America , possibly Newfoundland . In 1499 João Fernandes Lavrador was licensed by the King of Portugal and together with Pêro de Barcelos they first sighted Labrador , which was granted and named after him . After returning he possibly went to Bristol to sail in the name of England . Nearly at the same time , between 1499 and 1502 brothers Gaspar and Miguel Corte Real explored and named the coasts of Greenland and also Newfoundland . Both explorations are noted in the 1502 Cantino planisphere . The `` true Indies '' and Brazil ( edit ) In 1497 , newly crowned King Manuel I of Portugal sent an exploratory fleet eastwards , fulfilling his predecessor 's project of finding a route to the Indies . In July 1499 news spread that the Portuguese had reached the `` true indies '' , as a letter was dispatched by the Portuguese king to the Spanish Catholic Monarchs one day after the celebrated return of the fleet . The third expedition by Columbus in 1498 was the beginning of the first successful Castilian ( Spanish ) colonization in the West Indies , on the island of Hispaniola . Despite growing doubts , Columbus refused to accept that he had not reached the Indies . During the voyage he discovered the mouth of the Orinoco River on the north coast of South America ( now Venezuela ) and thought that the huge quantity of fresh water coming from it could only be from a continental land mass , which he was certain was the Asian mainland . As shipping between Seville and the West Indies grew , knowledge of the Caribbean islands , Central America and the northern coast of South America grew . One of these Spanish fleets , that of Alonso de Ojeda and Amerigo Vespucci in 1499 -- 1500 , reached land at the coast of what is now Guyana , when the two explorers seem to have separated in opposite directions . Vespucci sailed southward , discovering the mouth of the Amazon River in July 1499 , and reaching 6 ° S , in present - day north east Brazil , before turning around . In the beginning of 1500 Vicente Yáñez Pinzon was blown off course by a storm and reached what is now the north east coast of Brazil on 26 January 1500 , exploring as far south as the present - day state of Pernambuco . His fleet was the first to fully enter the Amazon River estuary which he named Río Santa María de la Mar Dulce ( Saint Mary 's River of the Freshwater Sea ) . However , the land was too far east for the Castilians to claim under the Treaty of Tordesillas , but the discovery created Castilian ( Spanish ) interest , with a second voyage by Pinzon in 1508 ( an expedition that coasted the northern coast to the Central American coastal mainland , in search of a passage to the East ) and a voyage in 1515 -- 16 by a navigator of the 1508 expedition , Juan Díaz de Solís . The 1515 -- 16 expedition was spurred on by reports of Portuguese exploration of the region ( see below ) . It ended when de Solís and some of his crew disappeared when exploring a River Plate river in a boat , but what it found re-ignited Spanish interest , and colonization began in 1531 . In April 1500 , the second Portuguese India Armada , headed by Pedro Álvares Cabral , with a crew of expert captains , including Bartolomeu Dias and Nicolau Coelho , encountered the Brazilian coast as it swung westward in the Atlantic while performing a large `` volta do mar '' to avoid becalming in the Gulf of Guinea . On 21 April 1500 a mountain was seen and was named Monte Pascoal , and on 22 April Cabral landed on the coast . On 25 April the entire fleet sailed into the harbour they named Porto Seguro ( Port Secure ) . Cabral perceived that the new land lay east of the line of Tordesillas , and sent an envoy to Portugal with the discovery in letters , including the letter of Pero Vaz de Caminha . Believing the land to be an island , he named it Ilha de Vera Cruz ( Island of the True Cross ) . Some historians have suggested that the Portuguese may have encountered the South American bulge earlier while sailing the `` volta do mar '' , hence the insistence of John II in moving the line west of Tordesillas in 1494 -- so his landing in Brazil may not have been an accident ; although John 's motivation may have simply been to increase the chance of claiming new lands in the Atlantic . From the east coast , the fleet then turned eastward to resume the journey to the southern tip of Africa and India . Cabral was the first captain to touch four continents , leading the first expedition that connected and united Europe , Africa , the New World , and Asia . At the invitation of King Manuel I of Portugal , Amerigo Vespucci -- a Florentine who had been working for a branch of the Medici Bank in Seville since 1491 , fitting oceanic expeditions and travelling twice to The Guianas with Juan de la Cosa in the service of Spain -- participated as observer in these exploratory voyages to the east coast of South America . The expeditions became widely known in Europe after two accounts attributed to him , published between 1502 and 1504 , suggested that the newly discovered lands were not the Indies but a `` New World '' , the Mundus novus , Latin title of a contemporary document based on Vespucci letters to Lorenzo di Pierfrancesco de ' Medici , which had become widely popular in Europe . It was soon understood that Columbus had not reached Asia but had found a new continent , the Americas . The Americas were named in 1507 by cartographers Martin Waldseemüller and Matthias Ringmann , probably after Amerigo Vespucci . In 1501 -- 1502 , one of these Portuguese expeditions , led by Gonçalo Coelho ( and / or André Gonçalves or Gaspar de Lemos ) , sailed south along the coast of South America to the bay of present - day Rio de Janeiro . Amerigo Vespucci 's account states that the expedition reached the latitude `` South Pole elevation 52 ° S '' , in the `` cold '' latitudes of what is now southern Patagonia ( possibly near the Strait ) , before turning back . Vespucci wrote that they headed toward the southwest and south , following `` a long , unbending coastline '' ( apparently coincident with the southern South American coast ) . This seems controversial , since he changed part of his description in the subsequent letter , stating a shift , from about 32 ° S ( Southern Brazil ) , to south - southeast , to open sea ; maintaining , however , that they reached 50 ° / 52 ° S ( if it was by his own decision or by D. Manuel 's censors who had to pressure him to alter his account , because he had revealed far too much to Lorenzo de ' Medici and into the public domain , is unknown ) . In 1503 , Binot Paulmier de Gonneville , challenging the Portuguese policy of mare clausum , led one of the earliest French Normand and Breton expeditions to Brazil . He intended to sail to the East Indies , but near the Cape of Good Hope his ship was diverted to west by a storm , and landed in the present day state of Santa Catarina ( southern Brazil ) , on 5 January 1504 . Americae Sive Quartae Orbis Partis Nova Et Exactissima Descriptio , the largest map of the Americas until the 17th century and the first map to use the name `` California '' . In 1511 -- 1512 , Portuguese captains João de Lisboa and Estevão de Fróis reached the River Plate estuary in present - day Uruguay and Argentina , and went as far south as the present - day Gulf of San Matias at 42 ° S ( recorded in the Newen Zeytung auss Pressilandt meaning `` New Tidings from the Land of Brazil '' ) . The expedition reached a cape extending north to south which they called Cape of `` Santa Maria '' ( Punta del Este , keeping the name the Cape nearby ) ; and after 40 ° S they found a `` Cape '' or `` a point or place extending into the sea '' , and a `` Gulf '' ( in June and July ) . After they had navigated for nearly 300 km ( 186 mi ) to round the cape , they again sighted the continent on the other side , and steered towards the northwest , but a storm prevented them from making any headway . Driven away by the Tramontane or north wind , they retraced their course .

Christopher de Haro , a Flemish of Sephardic origin ( one of the financiers of the expedition along with D. Nuno Manuel ) , who would serve the Spanish Crown after 1516 , believed that the navigators had discovered a southern strait to west and Asia . In 1519 , an expedition sent by the Spanish Crown to find a way to Asia was led by the experienced Portuguese navigator Ferdinand Magellan . The fleet explored the rivers and bays as it charted the South American coast until it found a way to the Pacific Ocean through the Strait of Magellan . In 1524 -- 1525 , Aleixo Garcia , a Portuguese conquistador ( possibly a veteran of the Solís expedition of 1516 ) , led a private expedition of a few shipwrecked Castilian and Portuguese adventurers , that recruited about 2000 Guaraní Indians . They explored the territories of present - day southern Brazil , Paraguay and Bolivia , using the native trail network , the Peabiru . They were also the first Europeans to cross the Chaco and reach the outer territories of the Inca Empire on the hills of the Andes , near Sucre . Indian Ocean ( 1497 -- 1513 ) ( edit ) Gama 's route to India ( edit ) See also : Portuguese India Armadas Vasco da Gama 's 1497 -- 1499 travel to India ( black ) . Previous travels of Pêro da Covilhã ( orange ) and Afonso de Paiva ( blue ) , and their common route ( green ) Protected from direct Spanish competition by the treaty of Tordesillas , Portuguese eastward exploration and colonization continued apace . Twice , in 1485 and 1488 , Portugal officially rejected Christopher Columbus 's idea of reaching India by sailing westwards . King John II of Portugal 's experts rejected it , for they held the opinion that Columbus 's estimation of a travel distance of 2,400 miles ( 3,860 km ) was undervalued , and in part because Bartolomeu Dias departed in 1487 trying the rounding of the southern tip of Africa , therefore they believed that sailing east would require a far shorter journey . Dias 's return from the Cape of Good Hope in 1488 , and Pêro da Covilhã 's travel to Ethiopia overland indicated that the richness of the Indian Sea was accessible from the Atlantic . A long - overdue expedition was prepared . Outward and return voyages of the Portuguese India Armadas in the Atlantic and the Indian oceans , with the North Atlantic Gyre ( Volta do mar ) picked up by Henry 's navigators , and the outward route of the South Atlantic westerlies that Bartolomeu Dias discovered in 1488 , followed and explored by the expeditions of Vasco da Gama and Pedro Alvares Cabral Under new king Manuel I of Portugal , on July 1497 a small exploratory fleet of four ships and about 170 men left Lisbon under the command of Vasco da Gama . By December the fleet passed the Great Fish River -- where Dias had turned back -- and sailed into unknown waters . On 20 May 1498 , they arrived at Calicut . The efforts of Vasco da Gama to get favourable trading conditions were hampered by the low value of their goods , compared with the valuable goods traded there . Two years and two days after departure , Gama and a survivor crew of 55 men returned in glory to Portugal as the first ships to sail directly from Europe to India . In 1500 , a second , larger fleet of thirteen ships and about 1500 men were sent to India . Under command of Pedro Álvares Cabral they made a first landfall on the Brazilian coast ; later , in the Indian Ocean , one of Cabral 's ships reached Madagascar ( 1501 ) , which was partly explored by Tristão da Cunha in 1507 ; Mauritius was discovered in 1507 , Socotra occupied in 1506 . In the same year Lourenço de Almeida landed in Sri Lanka , the eastern island named `` Taprobane '' in remote accounts of Alexander the Great 's and 4th - century BC Greek geographer Megasthenes . On the Asiatic mainland the first factories ( trading - posts ) were established at Kochi and Calicut ( 1501 ) and then Goa ( 1510 ) . The `` Spice islands '' and China ( edit ) Replica of Flor de la Mar carrack housing the Maritime Museum of Malacca In 1511 , Afonso de Albuquerque conquered Malacca for Portugal , then the centre of Asian trade . East of Malacca , Albuquerque sent several diplomatic missions : Duarte Fernandes as the first European envoy to the Kingdom of Siam ( modern Thailand ) . Getting to know the secret location of the so - called `` spice islands '' -- the Maluku Islands , mainly the Banda , then the single world source of nutmeg and cloves , was the main purpose for the travels in the Indian sea -- he sent an expedition led by António de Abreu to Banda ( via Java and the Lesser Sunda Islands ) , where they were the first Europeans to arrive in early 1512 , after taking a route through which they also reached first the islands of Buru , Ambon and Seram . From Banda Abreu returned to Malacca , while his vice-captain Francisco Serrão , after a separation forced by a shipwreck and heading north , reached once again Ambon and sank off Ternate , where he obtained a license to build a Portuguese fortress - factory : the Fort of São João Baptista de Ternate , which founded the Portuguese presence in the Malay Archipelago . In May 1513 Jorge Álvares , one of the Portuguese envoys , reached China . Although he was the first to land on Lintin Island in the Pearl River Delta , it was Rafael Perestrello -- a cousin of the famed Christopher Columbus -- who became the first European explorer to land on the southern coast of mainland China and trade in Guangzhou in 1516 , commanding a Portuguese vessel with a crew from a Malaysian junk that had sailed from Malacca . Fernão Pires de Andrade visited Canton in 1517 and opened up trade with China . The Portuguese were defeated by the Chinese in 1521 at the Battle of Tunmen and in 1522 at the Battle of Xicaowan , during which the Chinese captured Portuguese breech - loading swivel guns and reverse engineered the technology , calling them `` Folangji '' 佛 郎 機 ( Frankish ) guns , since the Portuguese were called `` Folangji '' by the Chinese . After a few decades , hostilities between the Portuguese and Chinese ceased and in 1557 the Chinese allowed the Portuguese to occupy Macau . To enforce a trade monopoly , Muscat , and Hormuz in the Persian Gulf , were seized by Afonso de Albuquerque in 1507 and in 1515 , respectively . He also entered into diplomatic relations with Persia . In 1513 while trying to conquer Aden , an expedition led by Albuquerque cruised the Red Sea inside the Bab al - Mandab , and sheltered at Kamaran island . In 1521 , a force under António Correia conquered Bahrain , ushering in a period of almost eighty years of Portuguese rule of the Gulf archipelago . In the Red Sea , Massawa was the most northerly point frequented by the Portuguese until 1541 , when a fleet under Estevão da Gama penetrated as far as Suez . Pacific Ocean ( 1513 -- 1529 ) ( edit ) Vasco Núñez de Balboa 's travel to the `` South Sea '' , 1513 Discovery of the Pacific Ocean ( edit ) In 1513 , about 40 miles ( 64 kilometres ) south of Acandí , in present - day Colombia , Spanish Vasco Núñez de Balboa heard unexpected news of an `` other sea '' rich in gold , which he received with great interest . With few resources and using information given by caciques , he journeyed across the Isthmus of Panama with 190 Spaniards , a few native guides , and a pack of dogs . Using a small brigantine and ten native canoes , they sailed along the coast and made landfalls . On September 6 , the expedition was reinforced with 1,000 men , fought several battles , entered a dense jungle and climbed the mountain range along the Chucunaque River from where this `` other sea '' could be seen . Balboa went ahead and , before noon September 25 , he saw in the horizon an undiscovered sea , becoming the first European to have seen or reached the Pacific from the New World . The expedition descended towards the shore for a short reconnaissance trip , thus becoming the first Europeans to navigate the Pacific Ocean off the coast of the New World . After travelling more than 110 km ( 68 mi ) , Balboa named the bay where they ended up San Miguel . He named the new sea Mar del Sur ( South Sea ) , since they had travelled south to reach it . Balboa 's main purpose in the expedition was the search for gold - rich kingdoms . To this end , he crossed through the lands of caciques to the islands , naming the largest one Isla Rica ( Rich Island , today known as Isla del Rey ) . He named the entire group Archipiélago de las Perlas , which they still keep today . Subsequent developments to the East ( edit ) In 1515 -- 1516 , the Spanish fleet led by Juan Díaz de Solís sailed down the east coast of South America as far as Río de la Plata , which Solís named shortly before he died , while trying to find a passage to the `` South Sea '' . At the same time , the Portuguese in Southeast Asia made the first European report on the western Pacific , having identified Luzon east of Borneo and named its inhabitants the `` Luções '' , in the modern Philippines . First circumnavigation ( edit ) Route of Magellan - Elcano world circumnavigation ( 1519 -- 1522 ) By 1516 several Portuguese navigators , conflicting with King Manuel I of Portugal , had gathered in Seville to serve the newly crowned Charles I of Spain . Among them were explorers Diogo and Duarte Barbosa , Estêvão Gomes , João Serrão and Ferdinand Magellan , cartographers Jorge Reinel and Diogo Ribeiro , cosmographers Francisco and Ruy Faleiro and the Flemish merchant Christopher de Haro . Ferdinand Magellan -- who had sailed in India for Portugal up to 1513 , when the Maluku Islands were reached , kept contact with Francisco Serrão living there -- developed the theory that the islands were in the Tordesillas Spanish area , supported on studies by Faleiro brothers . Aware of the efforts of the Spanish to find a route to India by sailing west , Magellan presented his plan to Charles I of Spain . The king and Christopher de Haro financed Magellan 's expedition . A fleet was put together , and Spanish navigators such as Juan Sebastián Elcano joined the enterprise . On August 10 , 1519 , they departed from Seville with a fleet of five ships -- the flagship Trinidad under Magellan 's command , San Antonio , Concepcion , Santiago and Victoria , the first being a caravel , and all others rated as carracks or `` naus '' -- with a crew of about 237 men from several nations , with the goal of reaching the Maluku Islands by travelling west , trying to reclaim it under Spain 's economic and political sphere . Victoria , the single ship to have completed the first world circumnavigation . ( Detail from Maris Pacifici by Ortelius , 1589 . ) The fleet sailed further and further south , avoiding the Portuguese territories in Brazil , and become the first to reach Tierra del Fuego at the tip of the Americas . On October 21 , starting in Cape Virgenes , they began an arduous trip through a 373 - mile ( 600 km ) long strait that Magellan named Estrecho de Todos los Santos , the modern Strait of Magellan . On November 28 , three ships entered the Pacific Ocean -- then named Mar Pacífico because of its apparent stillness . The expedition managed to cross the Pacific . Magellan died in the battle of Mactan in the Philippines , leaving the Spaniard Juan Sebastián Elcano the task of completing the voyage , reaching the Spice Islands in 1521 . On September 6 , 1522 Victoria returned to Spain , thus completing the first circumnavigation of the globe . Of the men who set out on five ships , only 18 completed the circumnavigation and managed to return to Spain in this single vessel led by Elcano . Seventeen others arrived later in Spain : twelve captured by the Portuguese in Cape Verde some weeks earlier , and between 1525 and 1527 , and five survivors of the Trinidad . Antonio Pigafetta , a Venetian scholar and traveller who had asked to be on board and become a strict assistant of Magellan , kept an accurate journal that become the main source for much of what we know about this voyage . This round - the - world voyage gave Spain valuable knowledge of the world and its oceans which later helped in the exploration and settlement of the Philippines . Although this was not a realistic alternative to the Portuguese route around Africa ( the Strait of Magellan was too far south , and the Pacific Ocean too vast to cover in a single trip from Spain ) successive Spanish expeditions used this information to explore the Pacific Ocean and discovered routes that opened up trade between Acapulco , New Spain ( present - day Mexico ) and Manila in the Philippines . Westward and eastward exploration meet ( edit ) View from Ternate to Tidore islands in the Maluku , where Portuguese Eastward and Spanish Westward explorations ultimately met and clashed between 1522 and 1529 Saavedra 's failed attempts to find a return route from the Maluku to New Spain ( Mexico ) in 1529 Soon after Magellan 's expedition , the Portuguese rushed to seize the surviving crew and built a fort in Ternate . In 1525 , Charles I of Spain sent another expedition westward to colonize the Maluku Islands , claiming that they were in his zone of the Treaty of Tordesillas . The fleet of seven ships and 450 men was led by García Jofre de Loaísa and included the most notable Spanish navigators : Juan Sebastián Elcano and Loaísa , who lost their lives then , and the young Andrés de Urdaneta . Near the Strait of Magellan one of the ships was pushed south by a storm , reaching 56 ° S , where they thought seeing `` earth 's end '' : so Cape Horn was crossed for the first time . The expedition reached the islands with great difficulty , docking at Tidore . The conflict with the Portuguese established in nearby Ternate was inevitable , starting nearly a decade of skirmishes . As there was not a set eastern limit to the Tordesillas line , both kingdoms organized meetings to resolve the issue . From 1524 to 1529 Portuguese and Spanish experts met at Badajoz - Elvas trying to find the exact location of the antimeridian of Tordesillas , which would divide the world into two equal hemispheres . Each crown appointed three astronomers and cartographers , three pilots and three mathematicians . Lopo Homem , Portuguese cartographer and cosmographer was in the board , along with cartographer Diogo Ribeiro on the Spanish delegation . The board met several times , without reaching an agreement : the knowledge at that time was insufficient for an accurate calculation of longitude , and each group gave the islands to its sovereign . The issue was settled only in 1529 , after a long negotiation , with the signing of Treaty of Zaragoza , that attributed the Maluku Islands to Portugal and the Philippines to Spain . Between 1525 and 1528 Portugal sent several expeditions around the Maluku Islands . Gomes de Sequeira and Diogo da Rocha were sent north by the governor of Ternate Jorge de Menezes , being the first Europeans to reach the Caroline Islands , which they named `` Islands de Sequeira '' . In 1526 , Jorge de Meneses docked on Biak and Waigeo islands , Papua New Guinea . Based on these explorations stands the theory of Portuguese discovery of Australia , one among several competing theories about the early discovery of Australia , supported by Australian historian Kenneth McIntyre , stating it was discovered by Cristóvão de Mendonça and Gomes de Sequeira . In 1527 Hernán Cortés fitted out a fleet to find new lands in the `` South Sea '' ( Pacific Ocean ) , asking his cousin Álvaro de Saavedra Cerón to take charge . On October 31 of 1527 Saavedra sailed from New Spain , crossing the Pacific and touring the north of New Guinea , then named Isla de Oro . In October 1528 one of the vessels reached the Maluku Islands . In his attempt to return to New Spain he was diverted by the northeast trade winds , which threw him back , so he tried sailing back down , to the south . He returned to New Guinea and sailed northeast , where he sighted the Marshall Islands and the Admiralty Islands , but again was surprised by the winds , which brought him a third time to the Moluccas . This westbound return route was hard to find , but was eventually discovered by Andrés de Urdaneta in 1565 . Inland Spanish conquistadores ( 1519 -- 1532 ) ( edit ) Rumours of undiscovered islands northwest of Hispaniola had reached Spain by 1511 and king Ferdinand II of Aragon was interested in forestalling further exploration . While Portuguese were making huge gains in the Indian Ocean , the Spanish invested in exploring inland in search of gold and valuable resources . The members of these expeditions , the `` conquistadors '' , came from a variety of backgrounds including artisans , merchants , clergy , lesser nobility and freed slaves . They usually supplied their own equipment in exchange for a share in profits , having no direct connection with the royal army , and often no professional military training or experience . In the Americas the Spanish found a number of empires that were as large and populous as those in Europe . However , small bodies of conquistadors , with large armies of Indigenous Americans groups , managed to conquer these states . During this time , pandemics of European disease such as smallpox devastated the indigenous populations . Once Spanish sovereignty was established , the Spanish focused on the extraction and export of gold and silver . In 1512 , to reward Juan Ponce de León for exploring Puerto Rico in 1508 , king Ferdinand urged him to seek these new lands . He would become governor of discovered lands , but was to finance himself all exploration . With three ships and about 200 men , Léon set out from Puerto Rico in March 1513 . In April they sighted land and named it La Florida -- because it was Easter ( Florida ) season -- believing it was an island , becoming credited as the first European to land in the continent . The arrival location has been disputed between St. Augustine , Ponce de León Inlet and Melbourne Beach . They headed south for further exploration and on April 8 encountered a current so strong that it pushed them backwards : this was the first encounter with the Gulf Stream that would soon become the primary route for eastbound ships leaving the Spanish Indies bound for Europe . They explored down the coast reaching Biscayne Bay , Dry Tortugas and then sailing southwest in an attempt to circle Cuba to return , reaching Grand Bahama on July . Cortés ' Mexico and the Aztec Empire ( edit ) See also : Spanish conquest of Yucatán and Spanish conquest of Guatemala Route of Cortés inland progress 1519 -- 1521 In 1517 Cuba 's governor Diego Velázquez de Cuéllar commissioned a fleet under the command of Hernández de Córdoba to explore the Yucatán peninsula . They reached the coast where Mayans invited them to land , but were attacked at night and only a remnant of the crew returned . Velázquez then commissioned another expedition led by his nephew Juan de Grijalva , who sailed south along the coast to Tabasco , part of the Aztec empire . In 1518 Velázquez gave the mayor of the capital of Cuba , Hernán Cortés , the command of an expedition to secure the interior of Mexico but , due to an old gripe between them , revoked the charter . In February 1519 Cortés went ahead anyway , in an act of open mutiny . With about 11 ships , 500 men , 13 horses and a small number of cannons he landed in Yucatán , in Mayan territory , claiming the land for the Spanish crown . From Trinidad he proceeded to Tabasco and won a battle against the natives . Among the vanquished was La Malinche , his future mistress , who knew both ( Aztec ) Nahuatl language and Maya , becoming a valuable interpreter and counsellor . Through her , Cortés learned about the wealthy Aztec Empire . In July his men took over Veracruz and he placed himself under direct orders of new king Charles I of Spain . There Cortés asked for a meeting with Aztec Emperor Montezuma II , who repeatedly refused . They headed to Tenochtitlan and on the way made alliances with several tribes . In October , accompanied by about 3,000 Tlaxcaltec they marched to Cholula , the second largest city in central Mexico . Either to instill fear upon the Aztecs waiting for him or ( as he later claimed ) wishing to make an example when he feared native treachery , they massacred thousands of unarmed members of the nobility gathered at the central plaza and partially burned the city . Map of the island city Tenochtitlán and Mexico gulf made by one of Cortés ' men , 1524 , Newberry Library , Chicago Arriving in Tenochtitlan with a large army , on November 8 they were peacefully received by Moctezuma II , who deliberately let Cortés enter the heart of the Aztec Empire , hoping to know them better to crush them later . The emperor gave them lavish gifts in gold which enticed them to plunder vast amounts . In his letters to King Charles , Cortés claimed to have learned then that he was considered by the Aztecs to be either an emissary of the feathered serpent god Quetzalcoatl or Quetzalcoatl himself -- a belief contested by a few modern historians . But he soon learned that his men on the coast had been attacked , and decided to hostage Moctezuma in his palace , demanding a ransom as tribute to King Charles . Meanwhile , Velasquez sent another expedition , led by Pánfilo de Narváez , to oppose Cortès , arriving in Mexico in April 1520 with 1,100 men . Cortés left 200 men in Tenochtitlan and took the rest to confront Narvaez , whom he overcame , convincing his men to join him . In Tenochtitlán one of Cortés 's lieutenants committed a massacre in the Great Temple , triggering local rebellion . Cortés speedily returned , attempting the support of Moctezuma but the Aztec emperor was killed , possibly stoned by his subjects . The Spanish fled for the Tlaxcaltec during the Noche Triste , where they managed a narrow escape while their backguard was massacred . Much of the treasure looted was lost during this panicked escape . After a battle in Otumba they reached Tlaxcala , having lost 870 men . Having prevailed with the assistance of allies and reinforcements from Cuba , Cortés besieged Tenochtitlán and captured its ruler Cuauhtémoc in August 1521 . As the Aztec Empire ended he claimed the city for Spain , renaming it Mexico City . Pizarro 's Peru and the Inca Empire ( edit ) Francisco Pizarro 's route of exploration during the conquest of Peru ( 1531 -- 1533 ) A first attempt to explore western South America was undertaken in 1522 by Pascual de Andagoya . Native South Americans told him about a gold - rich territory on a river called Pirú . Having reached San Juan River ( Colombia ) , Andagoya fell ill and returned to Panama , where he spread news about `` Pirú '' as the legendary El Dorado . These , along with the accounts of success of Hernán Cortés , caught the attention of Pizarro . Francisco Pizarro had accompanied Balboa in the crossing of the Isthmus of Panama . In 1524 he formed a partnership with priest Hernando de Luque and soldier Diego de Almagro to explore the south , agreeing to divide the profits . They dubbed the enterprise the `` Empresa del Levante '' : Pizarro would command , Almagro would provide military and food supplies , and Luque would be in charge of finances and additional provisions . On 13 September 1524 , the first of three expeditions left to conquer Peru with about 80 men and 40 horses . The expedition was a failure , reaching no farther than Colombia before succumbing to bad weather , hunger and skirmishes with hostile locals , where Almagro lost an eye . The place names bestowed along their route , Puerto deseado ( desired port ) , Puerto del hambre ( port of hunger ) and Puerto quemado ( burned port ) , attest to the difficulties of their journey . Two years later they began a second expedition with reluctant permission from the Governor of Panama . In August 1526 , they left with two ships , 160 men and several horses . Upon reaching San Juan River they separated , Pizarro staying to explore the swampy coasts and Almagro sent back for reinforcements . Pizarro 's main pilot sailed south and , after crossing the equator , captured a raft from Tumbes . To his surprise , it carried textiles , ceramic and much - desired gold , silver , and emeralds , becoming the central focus of the expedition . Soon Almagro joined with reinforcements and they resumed . After a difficult voyage facing strong winds and currents , they reached Atacames where they found a large native population under Inca rule , but they did not land . Pizarro remained safe near the coast , while Almagro and Luque went back for reinforcements with proof of the rumoured gold . The new governor outright rejected a third expedition and ordered two ships to bring everyone back to Panama . Almagro and Luque grasped the opportunity to join Pizarro . When they arrived at the Isla de Gallo , Pizarro drew a line in the sand , saying : `` There lies Peru with its riches ; Here , Panama and its poverty . Choose , each man , what best becomes a brave Castilian . '' Thirteen men decided to stay and became known as The Famous Thirteen . They headed for La Isla Gorgona , where they remained for seven months before the arrival of provisions . They decided to sail south and , by April 1528 , reached the northwestern Peruvian Tumbes Region and were warmly received by local Tumpis . Two of Pizarro 's men reported incredible riches , including gold and silver decorations around the chief 's house . They saw for the first time a llama which Pizarro called `` little camels '' . The natives named the Spanish `` Children of the Sun '' for their fair complexion and brilliant armours . They decided then to return to Panama to prepare a final expedition . Before leaving they sailed south through territories they named such as Cabo Blanco , port of Payta , Sechura , Punta de Aguja , Santa Cruz , and Trujillo , reaching the ninth degree south . In the spring of 1528 Pizarro sailed for Spain , where he had an interview with king Charles I . The king heard of his expeditions in lands rich in gold and silver and promised to support him . The Capitulación de Toledo authorized Pizarro to proceed with the conquest of Peru . Pizarro was then able to convince many friends and relatives to join : his brothers Hernándo Pizarro , Juan Pizarro , Gonzalo Pizarro and also Francisco de Orellana , who would later explore the Amazon River , as well as his cousin Pedro Pizarro . Pizarro 's third and final expedition left Panama for Peru on 27 December 1530 . With three ships and one hundred and eighty men they landed near Ecuador and sailed to Tumbes , finding the place destroyed . They entered the interior and established the first Spanish settlement in Peru , San Miguel de Piura . One of the men returned with an Incan envoy and an invitation for a meeting . Since the last meeting , the Inca had begun a civil war and Atahualpa had been resting in northern Peru following the defeat of his brother Huáscar . After marching for two months , they approached Atahualpa . He refused the Spanish , however , saying he would `` be no man 's tributary . '' There were fewer than 200 Spanish to his 80,000 soldiers , but Pizarro attacked and won the Incan army in the Battle of Cajamarca , taking Atahualpa captive at the so - called ransom room . Despite fulfilling his promise of filling one room with gold and two with silver , he was convicted for killing his brother and plotting against Pizarro , and was executed . In 1533 , Pizarro invaded Cuzco with indigenous troops and wrote to King Charles I : `` This city is the greatest and the finest ever seen in this country or anywhere in the Indies ... it is so beautiful and has such fine buildings that it would be remarkable even in Spain . '' After the Spanish had sealed the conquest of Peru , Jauja in fertile Mantaro Valley was established as Peru 's provisional capital , but it was too far up in the mountains , and Pizarro founded the city of Lima on 18 January 1535 , which Pizarro considered one of the most important acts in his life . New trade routes ( 1542 -- 1565 ) ( edit ) Portuguese trade routes ( blue ) and the rival Manila - Acapulco galleons trade routes ( white ) established in 1568 In 1543 three Portuguese traders accidentally became the first Westerners to reach and trade with Japan . According to Fernão Mendes Pinto , who claimed to be in this journey , they arrived at Tanegashima , where the locals were impressed by firearms that would be immediately made by the Japanese on a large scale . The Spanish conquest of the Philippines was ordered by Philip II of Spain , and Andrés de Urdaneta was the designated commander . Urdaneta agreed to accompany the expedition but refused to command and Miguel López de Legazpi was appointed instead . The expedition set sail on November 1564 . After spending some time on the islands , Legazpi sent Urdaneta back to find a better return route . Urdaneta set sail from San Miguel on the island of Cebu on June 1 , 1565 , but was obliged to sail as far as 38 degrees North latitude to obtain favourable winds . Portuguese carrack in Nagasaki , Nanban art attributed to Kanō Naizen , 1570 -- 1616 Japan He reasoned that the trade winds of the Pacific might move in a gyre as the Atlantic winds did . If in the Atlantic , ships made the Volta do mar to pick up winds that would bring them back from Madeira , then , he reasoned , by sailing far to the north before heading east , he would pick up trade winds to bring him back to North America . His hunch paid off , and he hit the coast near Cape Mendocino , California , then followed the coast south . The ship reached the port of Acapulco , on October 8 , 1565 , having travelled 12,000 miles ( 19,312 kilometres ) in 130 days . Fourteen of his crew died ; only Urdaneta and Felipe de Salcedo , nephew of López de Legazpi , had strength enough to cast the anchors . Thus , a cross-Pacific Spanish route was established , between Mexico and the Philippines . For a long time these routes were used by the Manila galleons , thereby creating a trade link joining China , the Americas , and Europe via the combined trans - Pacific and trans - Atlantic routes . Northern European involvement ( 1595 -- 17th century ) ( edit ) In 1570 ( May 20 ) Gilles Coppens de Diest at Antwerp published 53 maps created by Abraham Ortelius under the title Theatrum Orbis Terrarum , considered the `` first modern atlas '' . Three Latin editions of this ( besides a Dutch , a French and a German edition ) appeared before the end of 1572 ; the atlas continued to be in demand till about 1612 . This is the world map from this atlas . Nations outside Iberia refused to acknowledge the Treaty of Tordesillas . France , the Netherlands and England each had a long maritime tradition and had been engaging in privateering . Despite Iberian protections , the new technologies and maps soon made their way north . In 1568 the Dutch rebelled against the rule of Philip II of Spain leading to the Eighty Years ' War . War between England and Spain also broke out . In 1580 Philip II became King of Portugal , as heir to the Crown . The combined empires were simply too big to go unchallenged by European rivals . Philip 's troops conquered the important trading cities of Bruges and Ghent . Antwerp , then the most important port in the world , fell in 1585 . The Protestant population was given two years to settle affairs before leaving the city . Many settled in Amsterdam . Those were mainly skilled craftsmen , rich merchants of the port cities and refugees that fled religious persecution , particularly Sephardi Jews from Portugal and Spain and , later , the Huguenots from France . The Pilgrim Fathers also spent time there before going to the New World . This mass immigration was an important driving force : a small port in 1585 , Amsterdam quickly transformed into one of the most important commercial centres in the world . After the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588 there was a huge expansion of maritime trade . The emergence of Dutch maritime power was swift and remarkable : for years Dutch sailors had participated in Portuguese voyages to the east , as able seafarers and keen mapmakers . In 1592 , Cornelis de Houtman was sent by Dutch merchants to Lisbon , to gather as much information as he could about the Spice Islands . In 1595 , merchant and explorer Jan Huyghen van Linschoten , having travelled widely in the Indian Ocean at the service of the Portuguese , published a travel report in Amsterdam , the `` Reys - gheschrift vande navigatien der Portugaloysers in Orienten '' ( `` Report of a journey through the navigations of the Portuguese in the East '' ) . This included vast directions on how to navigate between Portugal and the East Indies and to Japan . That same year Houtman followed this directions in the Dutch first exploratory travel that discovered a new sea route , sailing directly from Madagascar to Sunda Strait in Indonesia and signing a treaty with the Banten Sultan . Dutch and British interest , fed on new information , led to a movement of commercial expansion , and the foundation of English ( 1600 ) , and Dutch ( 1602 ) chartered companies . Dutch , French , and English sent ships which flouted the Portuguese monopoly , concentrated mostly on the coastal areas , which proved unable to defend against such a vast and dispersed venture . Exploring North America ( edit ) Map of Henry Hudson 's 1609 -- 1611 voyages to North America for the Dutch East India Company ( VOC ) The 1497 English expedition led by Italian Venetian John Cabot ( Giovanni Caboto ) was the first of a series of French and English missions exploring North America . Spain put limited efforts into exploring the northern part of the Americas , as its resources were concentrated in Central and South America where more wealth had been found . These expeditions were hoping to find an oceanic Northwest Passage to Asian trade . This was never discovered , but other possibilities were found , and in the early 17th century colonists from a number of Northern European states began to settle on the east coast of North America . In 1520 -- 1521 the Portuguese João Álvares Fagundes , accompanied by couples of mainland Portugal and the Azores , explored Newfoundland and Nova Scotia ( possibly reaching the Bay of Fundy on the Minas Basin ) , and established a fishing colony on the Cape Breton Island , that would last until at least the 1570s or near the end of the century . In 1524 , Italian Giovanni da Verrazzano sailed at the behest of Francis I of France , who was motivated by indignation over the division of the world between Portuguese and Spanish . Verrazzano explored the Atlantic Coast of North America , from South Carolina to Newfoundland , and was the first recorded European to visit what would later become the Virginia Colony and the United States . In the same year Estevão Gomes , a Portuguese cartographer who had sailed in Ferdinand Magellan 's fleet , explored Nova Scotia , sailing South through Maine , where he entered New York Harbor , the Hudson River and eventually reached Florida in August 1525 . As a result of his expedition , the 1529 Diogo Ribeiro world map outlines the East coast of North America almost perfectly . From 1534 to 1536 , French explorer Jacques Cartier , believed to have accompanied Verrazzano to Nova Scotia and Brazil , was the first European to travel inland in North America , describing the Gulf of Saint Lawrence , which he named `` The Country of Canadas '' , after Iroquois names , claiming what is now Canada for Francis I of France . Henry Hudson 's ship Halve Maen in the Hudson River Europeans explored the Pacific Coast beginning in the mid-16th century . Francisco de Ulloa explored the Pacific coast of present - day Mexico including the Gulf of California , proving that Baja California was a peninsula . Despite his discoveries , the myth persisted in Europe that California was an island . His account provided the first recorded use of the name `` California '' . João Rodrigues Cabrilho , a Portuguese navigator sailing for the Spanish Crown , was the first European to set foot in California , landing on September 28 , 1542 on the shores of San Diego Bay and claiming California for Spain . He also landed on San Miguel , one of the Channel Islands , and continued as far as Point Reyes . After his death the crew continued exploring as far north as Oregon . The English naval commander Francis Drake sailed along the coast in 1579 somewhere north of Cabrillo 's landing site -- the actual location of Drake 's landing was secret and is still undetermined -- and claimed the land for England , calling it Nova Albion . The term `` Nova Albion '' was therefore used on many European maps to designate territory north of the Spanish settlements . Between 1609 and 1611 , after several voyages on behalf of English merchants to explore a prospective Northeast Passage to India , Kingdom of England 's Henry Hudson , under the auspices of the Dutch East India Company ( VOC ) , explored the region around present - day New York City , while looking for a western route to Asia . He explored the Hudson River and laid the foundation for Dutch colonization of the region . Hudson 's final expedition ranged farther north in search of the Northwest Passage , leading to his discovery of the Hudson Strait and Hudson Bay . After wintering in the James Bay , Hudson tried to press on with his voyage in the spring of 1611 , but his crew mutinied and they cast him adrift . Search for a northern route ( edit ) 1599 map of Arctic exploration by Willem Barentsz in his third voyage France , the Netherlands , and England were left without a sea route to Asia , either via Africa or South America . When it became apparent that there was no route through the heart of the Americas , attention turned to the possibility of a passage through northern waters , which English called the Northwest Passage . The desire to establish such a route motivated much of the European exploration of both coasts of North America and in Russia . In Russia the idea of a possible seaway connecting the Atlantic and the Pacific was first put forward by the diplomat Gerasimov in 1525 , although Russian settlers on the coast of the White Sea , the Pomors , had been exploring parts of the route as early as the 11th century . In 1553 English explorer Hugh Willoughby with chief pilot Richard Chancellor were sent out with three vessels in search of a passage by London 's Company of Merchant Adventurers to New Lands . During the voyage across the Barents Sea , Willoughby thought he saw islands to the north , and islands called Willoughby 's Land were shown on maps published by Plancius and Mercator into the 1640s . The vessels were separated by `` terrible whirlwinds '' in the Norwegian Sea and Willoughby sailed into a bay near the present border between Finland and Russia . His ships with the frozen crews , including Captain Willoughby and his journal , were found by Russian fishermen a year later . Richard Chancellor was able to drop anchor in the White Sea and trudge his way overland to Moscow and Ivan the Terrible 's Court , opening trade with Russia and the Company of Merchant Adventurers became the Muscovy Company . Barentsz ' Arctic exploration ( edit ) 5 June 1594 , Dutch cartographer Willem Barentsz departed from Texel in a fleet of three ships to enter the Kara Sea , with the hopes of finding the Northeast Passage above Siberia . At Williams Island the crew encountered a polar bear for the first time . They managed to bring it on board , but the bear rampaged and was killed . Barentsz reached the west coast of Novaya Zemlya and followed it northward , before being forced to turn back in the face of large icebergs . The following year , Prince Maurice of Orange named him chief pilot of a new expedition of six ships , loaded with merchant wares that the Dutch hoped to trade with China . The party came across Samoyed `` wild men '' but eventually turned back upon discovering the Kara Sea frozen . In 1596 , the States - General offered a high reward for anybody who successfully navigated the Northeast Passage . The Town Council of Amsterdam purchased and outfitted two small ships , captained by Jan Rijp and Jacob van Heemskerk , to search for the elusive channel , under the command of Barents . They set off on May , and on June discovered Bear Island and Spitsbergen , sighting its northwest coast . They saw a large bay , later called Raudfjorden and entered Magdalenefjorden , which they named Tusk Bay , sailing into the northern entrance of Forlandsundet , which they called Keerwyck , but were forced to turn back because of a shoal . On 28 June they rounded the northern point of Prins Karls Forland , which they named Vogelhoek , on account of the large number of birds , and sailed south , passing Isfjorden and Bellsund , which were labelled on Barentsz 's chart as Grooten Inwyck and Inwyck . Crew of Willem Barentsz fighting a polar bear The ships once again reached Bear Island on 1 July , which led to a disagreement . They parted ways , with Barentsz continuing northeast , while Rijp headed north . Barentsz reached Novaya Zemlya and , to avoid becoming entrapped in ice , headed for the Vaigatch Strait but became stuck within the icebergs and floes . Stranded , the 16 - man crew was forced to spend the winter on the ice . The crew used lumber from their ship to build a lodge they called Het Behouden Huys ( The Kept House ) . Dealing with extreme cold , they used the merchant fabrics to make additional blankets and clothing and caught Arctic foxes in primitive traps , as well as polar bears . When June arrived , and the ice had still not loosened its grip on the ship , scurvy - ridden survivors took two small boats out into the sea . Barentsz died at sea on 20 June 1597 , while studying charts . It took seven more weeks for the boats to reach Kola where they were rescued by a Russian merchant vessel . Only 12 crewmen remained , reaching Amsterdam in November . Two of Barentsz ' crewmembers later published their journals , Jan Huyghen van Linschoten , who had accompanied him on the first two voyages , and Gerrit de Veer who had acted as the ship 's carpenter on the last . In 1608 , Henry Hudson made a second attempt , trying to go across the top of Russia . He made it to Novaya Zemlya but was forced to turn back . Between 1609 and 1611 , Hudson , after several voyages on behalf of English merchants to explore a prospective Northern Sea Route to India , explored the region around modern New York City while looking for a western route to Asia under the auspices of the Dutch East India Company ( VOC ) . Dutch Australia and New Zealand ( edit ) The route of Abel Tasman 's 1642 and 1644 voyages in New Holland ( Australia ) in the service of the VOC ( Dutch East India Company ) Terra Australis Ignota ( Latin , `` the unknown land of the south '' ) was a hypothetical continent appearing on European maps from the 15th to the 18th centuries , with roots in a notion introduced by Aristotle . It was depicted on the mid-16th - century Dieppe maps , where its coastline appeared just south of the islands of the East Indies ; it was often elaborately charted , with a wealth of fictitious detail . The discoveries reduced the area where the continent could be found ; however , many cartographers held to Aristotle 's opinion , like Gerardus Mercator ( 1569 ) and Alexander Dalrymple even so late as 1767 argued for its existence , with such arguments as that there should be a large landmass in the Southern Hemisphere as a counterweight to the known landmasses in the Northern Hemisphere . As new lands were discovered , they were often assumed to be parts of this hypothetical continent . Juan Fernandez , sailing from Chile in 1576 , claimed he had discovered the Southern Continent . Luis Váez de Torres , a Galician navigator working for the Spanish Crown , proved the existence of a passage south of New Guinea , now known as Torres Strait . Pedro Fernandes de Queirós , a Portuguese navigator sailing for the Spanish Crown , saw a large island south of New Guinea in 1606 , which he named La Australia del Espiritu Santo . He represented this to the King of Spain as the Terra Australis incognita . In fact , it was not Australia but an island in present - day Vanuatu . Duyfken replica , Swan River , Australia Dutch navigator and colonial governor , Willem Janszoon sailed from the Netherlands for the East Indies for the third time on December 18 , 1603 , as captain of the Duyfken ( or Duijfken , meaning `` Little Dove '' ) , one of twelve ships of the great fleet of Steven van der Hagen . Once in the Indies , Janszoon was sent to search for other outlets of trade , particularly in `` the great land of Nova Guinea and other East and Southlands . '' On November 18 , 1605 , the Duyfken sailed from Bantam to the coast of western New Guinea . Janszoon then crossed the eastern end of the Arafura Sea , without seeing the Torres Strait , into the Gulf of Carpentaria . On February 26 , 1606 , he made landfall at the Pennefather River on the western shore of Cape York in Queensland , near the modern town of Weipa . This is the first recorded European landfall on the Australian continent . Janszoon proceeded to chart some 320 kilometres ( 199 miles ) of the coastline , which he thought was a southerly extension of New Guinea . In 1615 , Jacob le Maire and Willem Schouten 's rounding of Cape Horn proved that Tierra del Fuego was a relatively small island . In 1642 -- 1644 Abel Tasman , also a Dutch explorer and merchant in the service of the VOC , circumnavigated New Holland proving that Australia was not part of the mythical southern continent . He was the first known European expedition to reach the islands of Van Diemen 's Land ( now Tasmania ) and New Zealand and to sight the Fiji islands , which he did in 1643 . Tasman , his navigator Visscher , and his merchant Gilsemans also mapped substantial portions of Australia , New Zealand and the Pacific Islands . Russian exploration of Siberia ( 1581 -- 1660 ) ( edit ) Main articles : Russian conquest of Siberia , Conquest of the Khanate of Sibir , Siberian River Routes , and List of Russian explorers Siberian river routes were of primary significance in the process of exploration . In the mid-16th century the Tsardom of Russia conquered the Tatar khanates of Kazan and Astrakhan , thus annexing the entire Volga Region and opening the way to the Ural Mountains . The colonization of the new easternmost lands of Russia and further onslaught eastward was led by the rich merchants Stroganovs . Tsar Ivan IV granted vast estates near the Urals as well as tax privileges to Anikey Stroganov , who organized large scale migration to these lands . Stroganovs developed farming , hunting , saltworks , fishing , and ore mining on the Urals and established trade with Siberian tribes . Conquest of the Khanate of sibir ( edit ) Around 1577 , Semyon Stroganov and other sons of Anikey Stroganov hired a Cossack leader called Yermak to protect their lands from the attacks of Siberian Khan Kuchum . By 1580 Stroganovs and Yermak came up with the idea of the military expedition to Siberia , in order to fight Kuchum in his own land . In 1581 Yermak began his voyage into the depths of Siberia . After a few victories over the khan 's army , Yermak 's people defeated the main forces of Kuchum on Irtysh River in a 3 - day Battle of Chuvash Cape in 1582 . The remains of the khan 's army retreated to the steppes , and thus Yermak captured the Siberia Khanate , including its capital Qashliq near modern Tobolsk . Kuchum still was strong and suddenly attacked Yermak in 1585 in the dead of night , killing most of his people . Yermak was wounded and tried to swim across the Wagay River ( Irtysh 's tributary ) , but drowned under the weight of his own chain mail . The Cossacks had to withdraw from Siberia completely , but thanks to Yermak 's having explored all the main river routes in West Siberia , Russians successfully reclaimed all his conquests just several years later . Yermak Timofeyevich and his band of adventurers crossing the Ural Mountains at Tagil , entering Asia from Europe Siberian River routes ( edit ) In the early 17th century the eastward movement of Russians was slowed by the internal problems in the country during the Time of Troubles . However , very soon the exploration and colonization of the huge territories of Siberia was resumed , led mostly by Cossacks hunting for valuable furs and ivory . While Cossacks came from the Southern Urals , another wave of Russians came by the Arctic Ocean . These were Pomors from the Russian North , who already had been making fur trade with Mangazeya in the north of the Western Siberia for quite a long time . In 1607 the settlement of Turukhansk was founded on the northern Yenisei River , near the mouth of Lower Tunguska , and in 1619 Yeniseysky ostrog was founded on the mid-Yenisei at the mouth of the Upper Tunguska . Between 1620 and 1624 a group of fur hunters led by Demid Pyanda left Turukhansk and explored some 1,430 miles ( 2,301 kilometres ) of the Lower Tunguska , wintering in the proximity of the Vilyuy and Lena rivers . According to later legendary accounts ( folktales collected a century after the fact ) , Pyanda discovered the Lena River . He allegedly explored some 1,500 miles ( 2,414 kilometres ) of its length , reaching as far as central Yakutia . He returned up the Lena until it became too rocky and shallow , and portaged to the Angara River . In this way , Pyanda may have become the first Russian to meet Yakuts and Buryats . He built new boats and explored some 870 miles ( 1,400 kilometres ) of the Angara , finally reaching Yeniseysk and discovering that the Angara ( a Buryat name ) and Upper Tunguska ( Verkhnyaya Tunguska , as initially known by Russians ) are one and the same river . In 1627 Pyotr Beketov was appointed Yenisei voevoda in Siberia . He successfully carried out the voyage to collect taxes from Zabaykalye Buryats , becoming the first Russian to step in Buryatia . He founded the first Russian settlement there , Rybinsky ostrog . Beketov was sent to the Lena River in 1631 , where in 1632 he founded Yakutsk and sent his Cossacks to explore the Aldan and farther down the Lena , to found new fortresses , and to collect taxes . Yakutsk soon turned into a major starting point for further Russian expeditions eastward , southward and northward . Maksim Perfilyev , who earlier had been one of the founders of Yeniseysk , founded Bratsky ostrog on the Angara in 1631 , and in 1638 he became the first Russian to step into Transbaikalia , travelling there from Yakutsk . A map of Irkutsk and Lake Baikal in its neighbourhood , as depicted in the late - 17th - century Remezov Chronicle In 1643 Kurbat Ivanov led a group of Cossacks from Yakutsk to the south of the Baikal Mountains and discovered Lake Baikal , visiting its Olkhon Island . Later Ivanov made the first chart and description of Baikal . Russians reach the Pacific ( edit ) In 1639 a group of explorers led by Ivan Moskvitin became the first Russians to reach the Pacific Ocean and to discover the Sea of Okhotsk , having built a winter camp on its shore at the Ulya River mouth . The Cossacks learned from the locals about the large Amur River far to the south . In 1640 they apparently sailed south , explored the south - eastern shores of the Okhotsk Sea , perhaps reaching the mouth of the Amur River and possibly discovering the Shantar Islands on their way back . Based on Moskvitin 's account , Kurbat Ivanov drew the first Russian map of the Far East in 1642 . In 1643 , Vasily Poyarkov crossed the Stanovoy Range and reached the upper Zeya River in the country of the Daurs , who were paying tribute to the Manchu Chinese . After wintering , in 1644 Poyarkov pushed down the Zeya and became the first Russian to reach the Amur River . He sailed down the Amur and finally discovered the mouth of that great river from land . Since his Cossacks provoked the enmity of the locals behind , Poyarkov chose a different way back . They built boats and in 1645 sailed along the Sea of Okhotsk coast to the Ulya River and spent the next winter in the huts that had been built by Ivan Moskvitin six years earlier . In 1646 they returned to Yakutsk . A 17th - century koch in a museum in Krasnoyarsk . Kochi were the earliest icebreakers and were widely used by Russians in the Arctic and on Siberian rivers . In 1644 Mikhail Stadukhin discovered the Kolyma River and founded Srednekolymsk . A merchant named Fedot Alekseyev Popov organized a further expedition eastward , and Semyon Dezhnyov became a captain of one of the kochi . In 1648 they sailed from Srednekolymsk down to the Arctic and after some time they rounded Cape Dezhnyov , thus becoming the first explorers to pass through the Bering Strait and to discover Chukotka and the Bering Sea . All their kochi and most of their men ( including Popov himself ) were lost in storms and clashes with the natives . A small group led by Dezhnyov reached the mouth of the Anadyr River and sailed up it in 1649 , having built new boats from the wreckage . They founded Anadyrsk and were stranded there , until Stadukhin found them , coming from Kolyma by land . Subsequently , Stadukhin set off south in 1651 and discovered Penzhin Bay on the northern coast of the Okhotsk Sea . He also may have explored the western shores of Kamchatka . In 1649 -- 50 Yerofey Khabarov became the second Russian to explore the Amur River . Through Olyokma , Tungur and Shilka Rivers he reached Amur ( Dauria ) , returned to Yakutsk and then back to Amur with a larger force in 1650 -- 53 . This time he was met with armed resistance . He built winter quarters at Albazin , then sailed down Amur and found Achansk , which preceded the present - day Khabarovsk , defeating or evading large armies of Daurian Manchu Chinese and Koreans on his way . He charted the Amur in his Draft of the Amur river . Subsequently , Russians held on to the Amur Region until 1689 , when by the Treaty of Nerchinsk this land was assigned to Chinese Empire ( it was returned , however , by the Treaty of Aigun in 1858 ) . In 1659 -- 65 Kurbat Ivanov was the next head of Anadyrsky ostrog after Semyon Dezhnyov . In 1660 he sailed from Anadyr Bay to Cape Dezhnyov . Atop his earlier pioneering charts , Ivanov is credited with creation of the early map of Chukotka and Bering Strait , which was the first to show on paper ( very schematically ) the yet undiscovered Wrangel Island , both Diomede Islands and Alaska , based on the data collected from the natives of Chukotka . So , by the mid-17th century , Russians established the borders of their country close to modern ones , and explored almost the whole of Siberia , except the eastern Kamchatka and some regions north of the Arctic Circle . The conquest of Kamchatka later would be achieved in the early 1700s by Vladimir Atlasov , while the discovery of the Arctic coastline and Alaska would be completed by the Great Northern Expedition in 1733 -- 1743 .

Cacao ( Theobroma cacao ) 7 . Tobacco ( Nicotiana rustica ) European overseas expansion led to the contact between the Old and New Worlds producing the Columbian Exchange , named after Columbus . It involved the transfer of goods unique to one hemisphere to another . Europeans brought cattle , horses , and sheep to the New World , and from the New World Europeans received tobacco , potatoes and maize . Other items becoming important in global trade were the sugarcane and cotton crops of the Americas , and the gold and silver brought from the Americas not only to Europe but elsewhere in the Old World . The new trans - oceanic links and their domination by the European powers led to the Age of Imperialism , where European colonial powers came to control most of the planet . The European appetite for trade , commodities , empire and slaves greatly affected many other areas of the world . Spain participated in the destruction of aggressive empires in the Americas , only to substitute its own , and forcibly replaced the original religions . The pattern of territorial aggression was repeated by other European empires , most notably the Dutch , Russian , French and British . Christianity replaced older `` pagan '' rituals , as were new languages , political and sexual cultures , and in some areas like North America , Australia , New Zealand and Argentina , the indigenous peoples were abused and driven off most of their lands , being reduced to small , dependent minorities . Portuguese Nanbanjin arriving at Japan much to the surprise of locals , detail from a Nanban panel of the Kanō school , 1593 -- 1600 Similarly , in coastal Africa , local states supplied the appetite of European slave traders , changing the complexion of coastal African states and fundamentally altering the nature of African slavery , causing impacts on societies and economies deep inland . ( See Atlantic slave trade ) . Aboriginal peoples were living in North America at this time and still do today . There were many conflicts between Europeans and Natives . The Europeans had many advantages over the natives . They gave them diseases that they had not been exposed to before and this wiped out 50 -- 90 % of their population . ( See Population history of indigenous peoples of the Americas . ) Maize and manioc were introduced into Africa in the 16th century by the Portuguese . They are now important staple foods , replacing native African crops . Alfred W. Crosby speculated that increased production of maize , manioc , and other New World crops led to heavier concentrations of population in the areas from which slavers captured their victims . In the 16th - century economy of China , the Ming Dynasty was stimulated by trade with the Portuguese , Spanish , and Dutch . China became involved in a new global trade of goods , plants , animals , and food crops known as the Columbian Exchange . Trade with European powers and the Japanese brought in massive amounts of silver , which then replaced copper and paper banknotes as the common medium of exchange in China . During the last decades of the Ming the flow of silver into China was greatly diminished , thereby undermining state revenues and indeed the entire Ming economy . This damage to the economy was compounded by the effects on agriculture of the incipient Little Ice Age , natural calamities , crop failure , and sudden epidemics . The ensuing breakdown of authority and people 's livelihoods allowed rebel leaders such as Li Zicheng to challenge Ming authority . Jesuit scholars collaborated extensively with Chinese astronomers , introducing Copernican principles . Top : Matteo Ricci , Adam Schaal and Ferdinand Verbiest ( 1623 -- 88 ) ; Bottom : Paul Siu ( Xu Guangqi ) , Colao or Prime Minister of State , and his granddaughter Candide Hiu New crops that had come to Asia from the Americas via the Spanish colonizers in the 16th century contributed to the Asia 's population growth . Although the bulk of imports to China were silver , the Chinese also purchased New World crops from the Spanish Empire . This included sweet potatoes , maize , and peanuts , foods that could be cultivated in lands where traditional Chinese staple crops -- wheat , millet , and rice -- could not grow , hence facilitating a rise in the population of China . In the Song Dynasty ( 960 -- 1279 ) , rice had become the major staple crop of the poor ; after sweet potatoes were introduced to China around 1560 , it gradually became the traditional food of the lower classes . The arrival of the Portuguese to Japan in 1543 initiated the Nanban trade period , with the Japanese adopting several technologies and cultural practices , like the arquebus , European - style cuirasses , European ships , Christianity , decorative art , and language . After the Chinese had banned direct trade by Chinese merchants with Japan , the Portuguese filled this commercial vacuum as intermediaries between China and Japan . The Portuguese bought Chinese silk and sold it to the Japanese in return for Japanese - mined silver ; since silver was more highly valued in China , the Portuguese could then use Japanese silver to buy even larger stocks of Chinese silk . However , by 1573 -- after the Spanish established a trading base in Manila -- the Portuguese intermediary trade was trumped by the prime source of incoming silver to China from the Spanish Americas . Italian Jesuit Matteo Ricci ( 1552 -- 1610 ) , was the first European allowed into the Forbidden City , taught the Chinese how to construct and play the spinet , translated Chinese texts into Latin and vice versa , and worked closely with his Chinese associate Xu Guangqi ( 1562 -- 1633 ) on mathematical work . Economic impact in Europe ( edit ) Main articles : Commercial Revolution , Renaissance , Renaissance in the Low Countries , and Great Divergence World map from Johannes Kepler 's Rudolphine Tables ( 1627 ) , incorporating many of the new discoveries . As a wider variety of global luxury commodities entered the European markets by sea , previous European markets for luxury goods stagnated . The Atlantic trade largely supplanted pre-existing Italian and German trading powers which had relied on their Baltic , Russian and Islamic trade links . The new commodities also caused social change , as sugar , spices , silks and chinawares entered the luxury markets of Europe . The European economic centre shifted from the Mediterranean to Western Europe . The city of Antwerp , part of the Duchy of Brabant , became `` the centre of the entire international economy , and the richest city in Europe at this time . Centred in Antwerp first and then in Amsterdam , `` Dutch Golden Age '' was tightly linked to the Age of Discovery . Francesco Guicciardini , a Venetian envoy , stated that hundreds of ships would pass Antwerp in a day , and 2,000 carts entered the city each week . Portuguese ships laden with pepper and cinnamon would unload their cargo . With many foreign merchants resident in the city and governed by an oligarchy of banker - aristocrats forbidden to engage in trade , the economy of Antwerp was foreigner - controlled , which made the city very international , with merchants and traders from Venice , Ragusa , Spain and Portugal and a policy of toleration , which attracted a large Orthodox Jewish community . The city experienced three booms during its golden age , the first based on the pepper market , a second launched by New World silver coming from Seville ( ending with the bankruptcy of Spain in 1557 ) , and a third boom , after the Treaty of Cateau - Cambresis , in 1559 , based on the textiles industry . Despite initial hostilities , by 1549 the Portuguese were sending annual trade missions to Shangchuan Island in China . In 1557 they managed to convince the Ming court to agree on a legal port treaty that would establish Macau as an official Portuguese trade colony . The Portuguese friar Gaspar da Cruz ( c. 1520 February 5 , 1570 ) wrote the first complete book on China and the Ming Dynasty that was published in Europe ; it included information on its geography , provinces , royalty , official class , bureaucracy , shipping , architecture , farming , craftsmanship , merchant affairs , clothing , religious and social customs , music and instruments , writing , education , and justice . Delftware depicting Chinese scenes , 18th century . Ernest Cognacq Museum From China the major exports were silk and porcelain , adapted to meet European tastes . The Chinese export porcelains were held in such great esteem in Europe that , in English , china became a commonly -- used synonym for porcelain . Kraak porcelain ( believed to be named after the Portuguese carracks in which it was transported ) was among the first Chinese ware to arrive in Europe in mass quantities . Only the richest could afford these early imports , and Kraak often featured in Dutch still life paintings . Soon the Dutch East India Company established a lively trade with the East , having imported 6 million porcelain items from China to Europe between the years 1602 to 1682 . The Chinese workmanship impressed many . Between 1575 and 1587 Medici porcelain from Florence was the first successful attempt to imitate Chinese porcelain . Although Dutch potters did not immediately imitate Chinese porcelain , they began to do it when the supply to Europe was interrupted , after the death of Wanli Emperor in 1620 . Kraak , mainly the blue and white porcelain , was imitated all over the world by potters in Arita , Japan and Persia -- where Dutch merchants turned when the fall of the Ming Dynasty rendered Chinese originals unavailable -- and ultimately in Delftware . Dutch and later English Delftware inspired by Chinese designs persisted from about 1630 to the mid-18th century alongside European patterns . Jan Davidsz . de Heem , detail of silverware from `` A Richly Laid Table with Parrots '' , c. 1650 Antonio de Morga ( 1559 -- 1636 ) , a Spanish official in Manila , listed an extensive inventory of goods that were traded by Ming China at the turn of the 16th to 17th century , noting there were `` rarities which , did I refer to them all , I would never finish , nor have sufficient paper for it '' . After noting the variety of silk goods traded to Europeans , Ebrey writes of the considerable size of commercial transactions : In one case a galleon to the Spanish territories in the New World carried over 50,000 pairs of silk stockings . In return China imported mostly silver from Peruvian and Mexican mines , transported via Manila . Chinese merchants were active in these trading ventures , and many emigrated to such places as the Philippines and Borneo to take advantage of the new commercial opportunities . The increase in gold and silver experienced by Spain coincided with a major inflationary cycle both within Spain and Europe , known as the price revolution . Spain had amassed large quantities of gold and silver from the New World . In the 1520s large scale extraction of silver from Mexico 's Guanajuato began . With the opening of the silver mines in Zacatecas and Bolivia 's Potosí in 1546 large shipments of silver became the fabled source of wealth . During the 16th century , Spain held the equivalent of US $1.5 trillion ( 1990 terms ) in gold and silver from New Spain . Being the most powerful European monarch at a time full of war and religious conflicts , the Habsburg rulers spent the wealth in wars and arts across Europe . `` I learnt a proverb here '' , said a French traveller in 1603 : `` Everything is dear in Spain except silver '' . The spent silver , suddenly spread throughout a previously cash - starved Europe , caused widespread inflation . The inflation was worsened by a growing population with a static production level , low salaries and a rising cost of living , which damaged local industry . Increasingly , Spain became dependent on the revenues flowing in from the mercantile empire in the Americas , leading to Spain 's first bankruptcy in 1557 due to rising military costs . Phillip II of Spain defaulted on debt payments in 1557 , 1560 , 1575 and 1596 . The increase in prices as a result of currency circulation fuelled the growth of the commercial middle class in Europe , the bourgeoisie , which came to influence the politics and culture of many countries . One effect of the inflation , particularly in Great Britain , was that tenant farmers who held long term leases from lords saw real decreases in rent . Some lords opted to sell their leased land , giving rise to small land - owing farmers such as Yoemen and gentlemen farmers .

"In 1297, with the Portuguese part of the reconquista completed, King Dinis of Portugal took personal interest in exports and in 1317 he made an agreement with Genoese merchant sailor Manuel Pessanha (Pesagno), appointing him first admiral of the Portuguese navy, with the goal of defending the country against Muslim pirate raids.[41] Outbreaks of bubonic plague led to severe depopulation in the second half of the 14th century: only the sea offered alternatives, with most population settling in fishing and trading coastal areas.[42] Between 1325 and 1357 Afonso IV of Portugal encouraged maritime commerce and ordered the first explorations.[43] The Canary Islands, already known to the Genoese, were claimed as officially discovered under patronage of the Portuguese but in 1344 Castile disputed them, expanding their rivalry into the sea.[44][45]"

3785868905422581183 | Dogfight | Dogfight - Wikipedia Dogfight Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the aerial combat maneuver . For other uses , see Dogfight ( disambiguation ) . A USAF F - 105D shoots down a North Vietnamese MiG - 17 during the Vietnam War , June 1967 . A dogfight , or dog fight , is an aerial battle between fighter aircraft , conducted at close range . Dogfighting first appeared in Mexico in 1913 , shortly after the invention of the airplane . Until at least 1992 , it was a component in every major war , despite beliefs after World War II that increasingly greater speeds and longer range weapons would make dogfighting obsolete . Modern terminology for air - to - air combat is air combat maneuvering ( ACM ) , which refers to tactical situations requiring the use of individual basic fighter maneuvers ( BFM ) to attack or evade one or more opponents . This differs from aerial warfare , which deals with the strategy involved in planning and executing various missions .

The term gained popularity during World War II although its origin in air combat can be traced to the latter years of World War I . The first written reference to the modern day usage of the word comes from Fly Papers , by A. E. Illingworth , in 1919 , `` The battle develops into a ' dog - fight ' , small groups of machines engaging each other in a fight to the death . '' History ( edit ) Mexican Revolution ( edit ) The first instance of plane on plane combat and the first instance of one plane intercepting another during an aerial conflict occurred during the Mexican Revolution in November 30 , 1913 between two American soldiers of fortune fighting for opposing sides , Dean Ivan Lamb and Phil Rader . Both men had orders to kill but neither pilot wanted to harm the other so they exchanged multiple volleys of pistol fire , intentionally missing before exhausting their supply of ammunition . World War I ( edit ) An Incident on the Western Front , view of a dogfight involving five aircraft . In the upper foreground a biplane of the RAF flies towards a stricken German biplane , which is falling towards the ground leaving a trail of smoke in its wake ( Imperial War Museum ) . Main article : Aviation in World War I Dogfighting first emerged in World War I. Aircraft were initially used as mobile observation vehicles , and early pilots gave little thought to aerial combat . The new airplanes proved their worth by spotting the hidden German advance on Paris in the second month of the war . Enemy pilots at first simply exchanged waves , or shook their fists at each other . Due to weight restrictions , only small weapons could be carried on board . Intrepid pilots decided to interfere with enemy reconnaissance by improvised means , including throwing bricks , grenades and sometimes rope , which they hoped would entangle the enemy plane 's propeller . Pilots quickly began firing hand - held guns at enemy planes , such as pistols and carbines . The first aerial dogfight occurred during the Battle of Cer ( August 15 - 24 , 1914 ) , when Serbian aviator Miodrag Tomić encountered an Austro - Hungarian plane while performing a reconnaissance mission over Austro - Hungarian positions . The Austro - Hungarian pilot initially waved , and Tomić reciprocated . The Austro - Hungarian pilot then fired at Tomić with his revolver . Tomić managed to escape , and within several weeks , all Serbian and Austro - Hungarian planes were fitted with machine - guns . In August 1914 , Staff - Captain Pyotr Nesterov , from Russia , became the first pilot to ram his plane into an enemy spotter aircraft . In October 1914 , an airplane was shot down by a hand gun from another plane for the first time over Rheims , France . Once machine guns were mounted to the airplane , either on a flexible mounting or higher on the wings of early biplanes , the era of air combat began . The biggest problem was mounting a machine gun onto an aircraft so that it could be fired forward , through the propeller , and aimed by pointing the nose of the aircraft directly at the enemy . French aviator Roland Garros solved this problem by mounting steel deflector wedges to the propeller of a Morane Saulnier monoplane . He achieved three kills , but was forced down due to engine failure down behind enemy lines , and captured before he could destroy his plane by burning it . The wreckage was brought to Anthony Fokker , a Dutch designer who built aircraft for the Germans . Fokker decided that the wedges were much too risky , and improved the design by connecting the trigger of an MG 08 Maxim machine gun to the timing of the engine . The Germans acquired an early air superiority due to the invention of the synchronization gear in 1915 , transforming air combat with the Fokker E.I , the first synchronized , forward firing fighter plane . On the evening of July 1 , 1915 , the very first aerial engagement by a fighter plane armed with a synchronized , forward - firing machine gun occurred just to the east of Luneville , France . The German Fokker E.I was flown by Lieutenant Kurt Wintgens , earning the victory over a French two - seat observation monoplane . Later that same month , on July 25 , 1915 , British Royal Flying Corps ( RFC ) Major Lanoe Hawker , flying a very early production Bristol Scout C. , attacked three separate aircraft during a single sortie , shooting down two with a non-synchronizable Lewis gun which was mounted next to his cockpit at an outwards angle to avoid hitting the propeller . He forced the third one down , and was awarded the Victoria Cross . Battles in the air increased as the technological advantage swung from the British to the Germans , then back again . The Feldflieger Abteilung observation units of the German air service , in 1914 - 15 , consisted of six two - seat observation aircraft each , with each unit assigned to a particular German Army headquarters location . They had but a single Fokker Eindecker aircraft assigned to each `` FFA '' unit for general defensive duties , so pilots such as Max Immelmann and Oswald Boelcke began as lone hunters with each `` FFA '' unit , shooting unarmed spotter planes and enemy aircraft out of the sky . During the first part of the war , there was no established tactical doctrine for air - to - air combat . Oswald Boelcke was the first to analyze the tactics of aerial warfare , resulting in a set of rules known as the Dicta Boelcke . Many of Boelcke 's concepts , conceived in 1916 , are still applicable today , including use of sun and altitude , surprise attack , and turning to meet a threat . British Brigadier General Hugh Trenchard ordered that all reconnaissance aircraft had to be supported by at least three fighters , creating the first use of tactical formations in the air . The Germans responded by forming Jastas , large squadrons of fighters solely dedicated to destroying enemy aircraft , under the supervision of Boelcke . Pilots who shot down five or more fighters became known as aces . One of the most famous dogfights , resulting in the death of Major Hawker , is described by the Red Baron , Manfred von Richthofen , I WAS extremely proud when , one fine day , I was informed that the airman whom I had brought down on the twenty - third of November , 1916 , was the English ( equivalent of ) Immelmann ... First we circled twenty times to the left , and then thirty times to the right . Each tried to get behind and above the other . Soon I discovered that I was not meeting a beginner . He had not the slightest intention of breaking off the fight . He was traveling in a machine which turned beautifully . However , my own was better at rising than his , and I succeeded at last in getting above and beyond my English waltzing partner ... The impertinent fellow was full of cheek and when we had got down to about 3,000 feet he merrily waved to me as if he would say , `` Well , how do you do ? '' The circles which we made around one another were so narrow that their diameter was probably no more than 250 or 300 feet . I had time to take a good look at my opponent ... When he had come down to about three hundred feet he tried to escape by flying in a zig - zag course during which , as is well known , it is difficult for an observer to shoot . That was my most favorable moment . I followed him at an altitude of from two hundred and fifty feet to one hundred and fifty feet , firing all the time . The Englishman could not help falling . But the jamming of my gun nearly robbed me of my success . My opponent fell , shot through the head , one hundred and fifty feet behind our line . Despite the German 's early lead in combat tactics and their ' Dicta Boelcke ' , the Allies were not slow to adapt and develop their own tactics . The Royal Flying Corps ' Albert Ball was one of a band of pilots who liked to fly solo and he developed ' stalking ' tactics for going after enemy two - seaters . He even used his Lewis gun in its top wing adjustable Foster mounting to fire upwards into the underside of unsuspecting enemy aircraft . Other RFC pilots such as James McCudden and Mick Mannock emphasised mutual support and the advantages of attacking from height . Mannock expressed this in a list of aerial combat rules that were similar to Boelcke 's . Memorial erected by German airmen at Sheria , in memory of British and Australian airmen , killed in their lines during 1917 During 1916 , aerial reconnaissance patrols had most often been unaccompanied as there had been little if any aerial disputes , between the belligerents . However , just as the Sinai and Palestine Campaign ground war on the Gaza to Beersheba line came to resemble trench warfare on the western front , so too did the air war over southern Palestine come to resemble that being fought over France . After the Second Battle of Gaza in April 1917 and during the Stalemate in Southern Palestine which followed , the concentration of Egyptian Expeditionary Force ( EEF ) and Ottoman Army forces holding established front lines grew , as associated supply dumps and lines of communications were developed . The need to know about these fuelled `` intense rivalry in the air . '' Aerial reconnaissance patrols were regularly attacked , so it was necessary for all photography and artillery observation patrols to be accompanied by escort aircraft . These special EEF patrols which grew into squadrons , accompanied and protected the reconnaissance aircraft , attacking hostile aircraft wherever they were found , either in the air , or on the ground . However the technically superior German aircraft shot down numbers of EEF aircraft during dog fights . By the end of the war , the underpowered machines from just ten years prior had been transformed into fairly powerful , swift , and heavily armed fighter planes , and the basic tactics for dogfighting had been laid down . Spanish civil War ( edit ) Airplane technology rapidly increased in sophistication after World War I. By 1936 , dogfighting was thought to be a thing of the past , since aircraft were reaching top speeds of over 250 miles per hour ( 400 km / h ) . The experiences of the Spanish civil war proved this theory was wrong . At the beginning of the war , new tactics were developed , most notably in the Luftwaffe Condor Legion . Lieutenant Werner Mölders advised abandoning the standard `` V '' formation used in combat , and pairing fighters in twos , starting the practice of having a wingman at one 's side . He advised that pairs of aircraft approaching a fight should increase the distance between them instead of holding tight formations , a precursor to the combat spread maneuver . He also started the practice of training pilots to fly at night , and with instruments only . Using the new tactics , and flying the newest Bf 109 fighters , the Germans shot down 22 Spanish Republican fighters within a five - day period , suffering no losses of their own . World War II ( edit ) Main Article : Air warfare of World War II Strategies for fighter development ( edit ) Fighter contrails overhead during the Battle of the Philippine Sea During the 1930s two different streams of thought about air - to - air combat began to emerge , resulting in two different streams of monoplane fighter development . In Japan and Italy especially , there continued to be a strong belief that lightly armed , highly maneuverable single seat fighters would still play a primary role in air - to - air combat . Aircraft such as the Nakajima Ki - 27 and Nakajima Ki - 43 and the Mitsubishi A6M Zero in Japan , and the Fiat G. 50 and Macchi C. 200 in Italy epitomised a generation of monoplanes designed to this concept . The other stream of thought , which emerged primarily in Britain , Germany , the Soviet Union and the United States was the belief the high speeds of modern combat aircraft and the g - forces imposed by aerial combat meant that dogfighting in the classic WW I sense would be impossible . Fighters such as the Messerschmitt Bf 109 , the Supermarine Spitfire , the Yakovlev Yak - 1 and the Curtiss P - 40 were all designed for high level speeds and a good rate of climb . Good maneuverability was not a primary objective . Immediately following the Spanish civil war came World War II , during which dogfighting was most prevalent . It was widely believed that strategic bombing alone was synonymous with air power ; a fallacy that would not be fully understood until Vietnam . After the failings in Spain , a greater emphasis was placed on the accuracy of air - to - ground attacks . The need to stop bombers from reaching their targets , or to protect them on their missions , was the primary purpose for most dogfights of the era . Dogfighting over Europe ( edit ) Dogfighting was very prominent in the skies over Europe . The air force in France , while a major force during World War I , was inadequate and poorly organized , and quickly fell to the German onslaught . As the first battles between the Germans and the British began , the power of the German 's anti-aircraft artillery became readily apparent , with 88 millimeter shells capable of firing 40,000 feet ( 12,000 m ) in the air . General Wolfram von Richthofen noted that these guns were equally destructive when used for ground fire . Adolph Malan compiled a list of aerial combat rules that were widely taught to RAF pilots . The German Bf 109 and the British Spitfire were some of the most common fighters used in the European theater . A typical dogfight is described by an unnamed pilot , Pulling up into his blind spot I watched his plane grow larger and larger in my sight . But this German pilot was not content to fly straight and level . Before I could open fire his plane slewed to the right , and seeing me on his tail , he jerked back on the stick into the only defensive maneuver his plane could make . I banked my 47 over to the right and pulled back on the stick , striving to get him once more into my ring sight . The violent maneuver applied terrific G 's to my body , and I started to black out as the blood rushed from my head . Fighting every second to overcome this blackness about me , I pulled back on the stick , further and further , so that the enemy would just show at the bottom of my ring sight to allow for the correct deflection . We were both flying in a tight circle . Just a little more and I 'll have him . Pressing the ( trigger ) I waited expectantly for the 109 to explode . I 've hit his wing . A section two - feet long broke loose from the right wing as the machine gun cut like a machete through it . Too low , a little more rudder and the bullets will find his cockpit . I could see occasional strikes further up the wing , but it was too late . The 109 , sensing that I was inside him on the turn , slunk into a nearby cloud . Straightening my plane , I climbed over the top of the bank , and poised on the other side , waiting for him to appear . But the 109 did not appear , and not wishing to tempt the gods of fate further , I pushed my stick forward , entered the protective cover of the clouds , and headed home . Soviet fighters ( edit ) During this time , three new Russian fighters , the LaGG - 1 , the Yak - 1 , and the MiG - 3 were just coming off of the production line . The Soviet Air Defense Force had been fraught with problems since World War I . The German Barbarossa offensive on June 22 , 1941 , destroyed more than 2000 Soviet aircraft on the first day , and more than 5000 before October . With great desperation , the Soviets fought in dogfights over Leningrad , Moscow , and the Ukraine for more than a year . Fireteam , a triple of aircraft ( `` troika '' ) , has been the main tactical unit used in battles since the beginning of World War II . The analysis and synthesis of fighting experience resulted in a conclusion that group tactics should have been rejected and replaced by action pairs . However , ramming an opponent was still a common practice among the pilots of the Soviet Union . Another successful maneuver was a `` Sokolinnyi udar '' ( falcon punch ) when a pilot got an advantage of power by swooping down on an opponent and using the sunlight conditions . This maneuver and many other tactical principles were introduced by Alexander Pokryshkin , one of the greatest tactician of the Soviet Air Force who showed his worth during World War II . His famous motto sounded as `` Height , speed , maneuver , fire ! '' . It became popular in the air armies and was adopted by pilots . Struggling with morale problems , the Soviets slowly and methodically began to regain air supremacy after the Battle of Stalingrad in 1943 . This theater is notable for including the only female fighter aces in history , Yekaterina Budanova and Lydia Litvyak . Usa and Japan ( edit ) Mitsubishi A6M3 Zero chases a North American B - 25 Mitchell during simulated combat . After the bombing of Pearl Harbor , in the Hawaiian Islands , the United States entered the war . The Japanese used the Mitsubishi A6M Zero , an extremely lightweight fighter known for its exceptional range and maneuverability . The U.S. military tested out the Akutan Zero , a Mitsubishi A6M2 which was captured intact in 1942 , advising -- along the same lines that General Claire Chennault , commander of the Kunming - based Flying Tigers had already advised his pilots over a year before -- `` Never attempt to dogfight a Zero . '' Even though its engine was rather low in power , the Zero had very low wing loading characteristics , a small turn radius , a top speed over 330 mph ( 530 km / h ) , and could climb better than any fighter used by the U.S. at that time , although it was poorly armored compared to U.S. aircraft . A pilot who realized that new tactics had to be devised was Lieutenant Commander John S. `` Jimmy '' Thach , commander of Fighting Three in San Diego . He read the early reports coming out of China and wrestled with the problem of his Grumman F4F Wildcats being relatively slower and much less maneuverable than the Japanese planes . He devised a defensive maneuver called the `` Thach Weave . '' Lieutenant Commander Thach reasoned that two planes , a leader and his wingman , could fly about 200 feet ( 61 m ) apart and adopt a weaving formation when under attack by Japanese fighters . Thach later faced the A6M Zero during the Battle of Midway , in June 1942 , for the test of his theory . Although outnumbered , he found that a Zero would lock onto the tail of one of the fighters . In response , the two planes would turn toward each other . When the Zero followed its original target through the turn it would come into a position to be fired on by the target 's wingman , and the predator would become the prey . His tactic proved to be effective and was soon adopted by other squadrons . The Thach Weave helped make up for the inferiority of the US planes in maneuverability and numbers , until new aircraft could be brought into service . The usefulness of this strategy survives even today . Another effective maneuver used by the U.S. pilots was a simple break , which consisted of turning sharply across an attacker 's flight path , which worked well in part because the large nose of the Zero tended to obstruct the pilot 's view . Still another good tactic was a high - side guns pass , which consisted of diving upon the Zero , shooting in one high - speed pass , and using the speed to climb back above the fight to dive again . By 1943 the U.S. began to produce planes that were better matched against the Japanese planes , such as the Grumman F6F Hellcat , and the Vought F4U Corsair . Technology ( edit ) Technology advanced extremely fast during World War II in ways that would change dogfighting forever . Jet propulsion had been demonstrated long before the war , by German engineer Hans von Ohain in 1934 , and by British engineer Frank Whittle in 1937 . The Messerschmitt Me 262 was the first jet fighter to be used in battle , with a speed over 500 mph ( 800 km / h ) , and began taking a toll on Allied bombing missions in 1944 . The British were testing a jet that same year , the Gloster Meteor , which would later see action in the Korean War . Although U.S. General Hap Arnold test flew the XP - 59 A in 1942 , the plane was never used in combat . Other prime inventions of the era include radar and air - to - air missiles . Propaganda ( edit ) Enemy pilots were construed as weak and evil . For example , in World War II , describing the Soviet tactics , the Luftwaffe claimed that , `` The characteristic feature of the average Soviet fighter pilot were a tendency toward caution and reluctance instead of toughness and stamina , brute strength instead of genuine combat efficiency , abysmal hatred instead of fairness and chivalry ... '' Korean War ( edit ) Gun camera photo of a MiG - 15 being attacked by U.S. Air Force F - 86 Sabre over Korea in either 1952 or 1953 . The Sabre is piloted by Capt . Manuel `` Pete '' Fernandez of the 334th Fighter - Interceptor Squadron , 4th Fighter - Interceptor Wing . After World War II , the question began to rise about the future usefulness of fighter aircraft . This was especially true for the U.S. , where the focus was placed on small , fast , long - range bombers capable of delivering atomic bombs . The Korean War began in June 1950 , and the North Koreans were outmatched by the U.S. Air Force . The war was nearly over by October , with the occupation of North Korea when , on November 1 , Chinese MiG - 15s attacked . The Chinese began supplying North Korea with troops and provisions , and the war quickly resumed . At 100 mph ( 160 km / h ) faster , the MiG - 15 was more than a match for the U.S. P - 80 Shooting Star , using the same dive and shoot tactic that the Americans found so useful against Japan . The U.S. jets had inferior weaponry , and suffered from problems with production and parts . The U.S. resorted to using mainly the more maneuverable propeller driven fighters during the war , such as the P - 51 Mustang which was carried over from World War II . The P - 47 Thunderbolt was not used in Korea . Used mainly in the close air support role , Mustangs were more vulnerable to being shot down ( and many were lost due to anti-aircraft fire ) . Some former P - 47 pilots suggested the more durable Thunderbolt should have been sent to Korea ; however , the P - 51D was available in greater numbers in the USAF and ANG inventories . ( See footnote ( 27 ) under Wikipedia article on P - 47 Thunderbolt . ) To combat the MiGs , the F - 86 Sabre was put into production . The U.S. pilots had a number of major advantages over the Chinese , including the G - suit and the radar - ranging gunsight . Chinese fighters were often seen spinning off out of control during a hard turn because the pilot had lost consciousness . The Chinese were very competent in a dogfight , and large swirling battles were fought in the skies over Korea . However , it was highly suspected by many U.S. pilots that some of the opponents they faced over Korea were in fact well - trained Soviet pilots , who the Americans referred to as `` hanchos , '' ( a Japanese word , meaning `` bosses '' ) . Major Robinson Risner recalls , Seeing one another about the same time , the MiG flight and my flight dropped ( our extra fuel ) tanks ... He was so low he was throwing up small rocks . I dropped down to get him , but to hit him I had to get down in his jet wash . He 'd chop the throttle and throw out his speed brakes . I would coast up beside him , wingtip to wingtip . When it looked like I was going to overshoot him , I would roll over the top and come down on the other side of him . When I did , he 'd go into a hard turn , pulling all the Gs he could . This guy was one fantastic pilot . The war in the air , however , eventually came to a stalemate as fighting ceased between the two factions . Later after the fall of the Soviet Union , Soviet records showed that Russian pilots were indeed in the air . Some at times in the fury of combat reverted to the Russian language over the radio . Vietnam War ( edit ) Main article : Vietnam War The Vietnam War `` was the first ' modern ' air war '' in which air - to - air missiles were the primary weapons during aerial combat , and was the only confrontation between the latest aerial and ground defense technologies between the Soviet Union and the United States . If U.S. air power could successfully conduct war against Soviet doctrine and equipment in the skies over North Vietnam , then it could expect to successfully operate against the Soviet Union during a massive war in Europe . Over the skies of North Vietnam , U.S. aircraft would be attacking the `` most formidable and most heavily defended targets in the history of aerial warfare . '' By this time , dogfighting techniques had fallen out of favor in U.S. training doctrines , as missiles were considered to be all that was necessary to shoot down the big bombers expected to be deployed by the Soviet Union . As a result , air combat methods known by fighter pilots since World War I became all but lost as veterans from WWII and Korea retired and did n't pass them on to succeeding generations . American fighter pilots would meet in the skies in secret to engage in mock combat to try and maintain some level of proficiency . It was n't until TOPGUN was established for the Navy in 1969 and Red Flag was started for the Air Force in 1975 that pilots were formally trained in dogfighting again . Both U.S. and Soviet - built jet fighters were primarily designed for intercepting bombers , and then shooting them down with air - to - air missiles . With possibly a few exceptions , such as the U.S. Navy 's F - 8 Crusader and the U.S. Air Force 's F - 100 Super Sabre , which each mounted four 20 mm cannons , jets were not designed for dog fighting other jet aircraft . Soviet doctrine called for their interceptors to be strictly vectored towards their targets by Ground Control Intercept ( GCI ) operators . As a consequence , U.S. RF - 101 Voodoo 's conducting reconnaissance missions , or F - 102 Delta Daggers , F - 104 Starfighters performing MiGCAP duties , and the strike aircraft themselves , such as F - 105 Thunderchiefs , A-4 Skyhawks , A-6 Intruders , F - 4 Phantoms , and B - 52 's flying over North Vietnam were met by MiG - 17s ( or Chicom J - 5s ) , MiG - 19s ( Chicom J - 6s ) , and MiG - 21s being vectored directly to them by GCI operators who worked in conjunction with surface - to - air missile ( SAM ) crews . U.S. aircraft which successfully made it through the NVAF MiGs were then confronted with the SAMs and AAA batteries . This triad defense system of GCI - controlled MiGs , Missiles ( SAMs ) , and AAA enabled the North Vietnamese MiGs to utilize their aircraft 's design capabilities as their designers had intended , that of , in the vernacular of the time , making `` one pass , and then hauling ass '' , which was , in practice , quickly firing at their targets and then speeding away . By 1967 the Soviets had supplied the NVAF with enough missile - firing MiG - 21s to allow the North Vietnamese to routinely engage U.S. aircraft , and to rely less and less on their aged MiG - 17s , although many North Vietnamese pilots still preferred the MiG - 17s agility and easy maintenance . With the arrival of the additional MiG - 21s , and by 1969 MiG - 19s ( J - 6s ) imported from Red China , engagements between U.S. and NVAF jets became generally divided into two arenas ; MiG - 21s engaged at higher altitudes , while MiG - 17s and MiG - 19s would try to give battle at lower altitudes where their cannons were more effective . At the conclusion of the air war in 1973 , U.S. airmen had downed 202 communist MiGs , including two downed by B - 52 tailgunners from their quad . 50 caliber machine guns ; this at a cost of 90 U.S. aircraft to NVAF MiGs . The USAF claimed 137 MiGs while the USN / USMC brought down 65 in air - to - air combat . From these figures , the USAF had 40 gun kills , and the USN claimed eight cannon victories . This number approached parity with the NVAF MiG 's 37 gun kill figures . Approximately 612 radar - guided AIM - 7 Sparrow missiles were fired during the war , scoring 56 MiG kills , while 454 heat - seeking AIM - 9 Sidewinders were launched achieving 81 aerial victories . During Operation Rolling Thunder 54 AIM - 4 Falcon missiles were fired , obtaining five kills . By contrast , NVAF MiG - 21s obtained 53 air - to - air kills with their AA - 2 `` Atoll '' missiles , from an unknown number of launchings . At least three MiG - 21s , and all of the MiG - 17s and MiG - 19s ( J - 6s ) made the remaining 37 kills , from their 90 total , with their 23 mm , 30 mm and 37 mm cannons . As part of the North Vietnamese triad system of defense , surface - to - air missiles ( SAMs ) had become an ever - increasing threat . U.S Air Force Brigadier General Robin Olds describes a typical encounter with surface - to - air missiles , which during a period of time in Vietnam was referred to as either a `` MiG day '' or a `` Sam day '' , this was a Sam day . Here come the SAMs . The trick is seeing the launch . You can see the steam . It goes straight up , turns more level , then the booster drops off . If it maintains a relatively stable position , it 's coming right for you and you 're in trouble . You 're eager to make a move but ca n't . If you dodge too fast it will turn and catch you ; if you wait too late it will explode near enough to get you . What you do at the right moment is poke your nose down , go down as hard as you can , pull maybe three negative Gs at 550 knots and once it follows you down , you go up as hard as you can . It ca n't follow that and goes under . This passage from a USAF booklet explained a MiG day : `` If you know a MiG - 21 is in your area or you lose sight of one and want to find it again : Roll out wings level for 15 seconds , then look in your 6 o'clock about 1.5 miles . It will be there . Probably you 'll see mach 2 Atoll ( air - to - air missile ) smoke trail first before you see the MiG . But remember that 's where the MiG - 21 is ! Just ask one of the 20 aircrews shot down during Linebacker that never knew they were under attack . '' Arab -- Israeli conflicts ( edit ) The Arab -- Israeli conflicts were a series of wars between the country of Israel and its surrounding Arab neighbors . Those that involved dogfighting occurred between 1948 and 1985 . The wars escalated on May 14 , 1948 , the day Israel declared its sovereignty from Britain . The War of Independence was followed by the Suez - Sinai War in 1956 , the Six - Day War in 1967 , the War of Attrition , the Yom Kippur War in 1973 , and the First Lebanon War in the early 1980s . The wars began with both sides using propeller planes , such as Spitfires , Avia S - 199s , and P - 51s , then progressed to older jets like MiG - 15s , Dassault Mysteres and Dassault Mirages . In the latter wars dogfighting ensued between modern aircraft , like F - 15s and F - 16s against MiG - 21s and MiG - 25s . Although usually outnumbered , the Israelis managed to defeat the air forces of Egypt , Jordan and Syria in dogfights , often achieving kill ratios ranging from 10 : 1 to over 20 : 1 , which is usually attributed to better training of the Israeli pilots and a technological advantage . Indo - Pakistani War of 1965 ( edit ) Main article : Indo - Pakistani War of 1965 The Indo - Pakistani War of 1965 saw the Indian and Pakistani Air Forces engaged in large - scale aerial combat against each other for the first time since the independence of Pakistan in 1947 . The war took place during the course of September 1965 and saw both air forces conduct defensive and offensive operations over Indian and Pakistani airspace . The aerial war saw both sides conducting thousands of sorties in a single month . Both sides claimed victory in the air war ; Pakistan claimed to have destroyed 104 aircraft against its own losses of 19 , while India claimed to have destroyed 73 enemy aircraft and lost 35 of its own . Despite the intense fighting , the conflict was effectively a stalemate . Indo - Pakistani War of 1971 ( edit ) Main article : Indo - Pakistani War of 1971 By late 1971 , the intensification of the independence movement in erstwhile East Pakistan lead to the Bangladesh Liberation War between India and Pakistan . On November 22 , 1971 , 10 days before the start of a full - scale war , four PAF F - 86 Sabre jets attacked Indian and Mukti Bahini positions at Garibpur , near the international border . Two of the four PAF Sabres were shot down and one damaged by the IAF 's Folland Gnats . On December 3 , India formally declared war against Pakistan following massive preemptive strikes by the PAF against Indian Air Force installations in Srinagar , Ambala , Sirsa , Halwara and Jodhpur . However , the IAF did not suffer significantly because the leadership had anticipated such a move and precautions were taken . The Indian Air Force was quick to respond to Pakistani air strikes , following which the PAF carried out mostly defensive sorties . Within the first two weeks , the IAF had carried out almost 12,000 sorties over East Pakistan and also provided close air support to the advancing Indian Army . IAF also assisted the Indian Navy in its operations against the Pakistani Navy and Maritime Security Agency in the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea . On the western front , the IAF destroyed more than 20 Pakistani tanks , four APCs and a supply train during the Battle of Longewala . The IAF undertook strategic bombing of West Pakistan by carrying out raids on oil installations in Karachi , the Mangla Dam and a gas plant in Sindh . Similar strategy was also deployed in East Pakistan and as the IAF achieved complete air superiority on the eastern front , the ordnance factories , runways , and other vital areas of East Pakistan were severely damaged . By the time Pakistani forces surrendered , the IAF destroyed 94 PAF aircraft The IAF was able to conduct a wide range of missions -- troop support ; air combat ; deep penetration strikes ; para-dropping behind enemy lines ; feints to draw enemy fighters away from the actual target ; bombing ; and reconnaissance . In contrast , the Pakistan Air Force , which was solely focused on air combat , was blown out of the subcontinent 's skies within the first week of the war . Those PAF aircraft that survived took refuge at Iranian air bases or in concrete bunkers , refusing to offer a fight . Hostilities officially ended at 14 : 30 GMT on December 17 , after the fall of Dacca on December 15 . India claimed large gains of territory in West Pakistan ( although pre-war boundaries were recognised after the war ) , and the independence of Pakistan 's East wing as Bangladesh was confirmed . The IAF had flown over 16,000 sorties on both East and West fronts ; including sorties by transport aircraft and helicopters . while the PAF flew about 30 and 2,840 . More than 80 percent of the IAF 's sorties were close - support and interdiction , and according to neutral assessments about 45 IAF aircraft were lost while , Pakistan lost 75 aircraft . Not including any F - 6s , Mirage IIIs , or the six Jordanian F - 104s which failed to return to their donors . But the imbalance in air losses was explained by the IAF 's considerably higher sortie rate , and its emphasis on ground - attack missions . On the ground Pakistan suffered most , with 9,000 killed and 25,000 wounded while India lost 3,000 dead and 12,000 wounded . The loss of armoured vehicles was similarly imbalanced . This represented a major defeat for Pakistan . Towards the end of the war , IAF 's transport planes dropped leaflets over Dhaka urging the Pakistani forces to surrender , demoralising Pakistani troops in East Pakistan . Falklands War ( edit ) The Falklands War ( Spanish : Guerra de las Malvinas ) began on April 2 , 1982 , when Argentina invaded the Falkland islands ( Spanish : Islas Malvinas ) , and then the island of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands , which were small disputed British dependencies . Because Britain had no military bases nearby , and few aircraft carriers , the Argentinians did not expect a response from Britain , but on April 5 , the British sent carriers sailing to the Falklands with Sea Harrier ' Jump - jets ' on board . The Sea Harrier , being initially designed as a ground - attack fighter , was equipped not for dogfighting but for Soviet bomber interception ; thus the aircraft had to undergo many modifications , and the pilots needed extra training . The Argentinians had superior numbers , but their forces mainly consisted of older jets from the 1960s , such as Dassault Mirage IIIs and Israeli Daggers . The Argentinians were also handicapped by the long distance from mainland airfields and a lack of refuelling tankers . Neither side was ready for war , but both prepared all through April as diplomacy failed . The fighting started on May 1 , and was to become the largest naval and air conflict since World War II . By the end of the war , Argentina lost 20 fighters in dogfights , while Britain only lost one Sea Harrier to ground fire . The Americans supplied late model Sidewinder missiles to the British ; this and the analysis of French Mirage combat tactics made the difference . Iran -- Iraq War ( edit ) Main article : Iranian aerial victories during the Iran -- Iraq war In the Iran -- Iraq War of 1980 -- 1988 ( also known as first Gulf War ) many dogfights happened between Iranian Air Force and Saddam Hussein 's Iraq Air Force . At early years of the war IRIAF had the superiority ( see for example Operation Sultan 10 and Operation Morvarid ) ; however , at the end of the war , Iranian Air Force lost its superiority due to the lack of their western made aircraft spare parts and outdated equipment , while Iraq was introducing new French and Soviet weapons in its air force . The Iran -- Iraq War also saw the only confirmed helicopter dogfights in history , with Iranian Army Aviation 's AH - 1J Internationals ( usually the TOW - capable ones ) entering combat against Iraqi Army Air Corps ' Mil Mi - 24 Hind gunships . Hinds are stronger and faster , while AH - 1Js are more agile . The result of the skirmishes are disputed . There were even engagements between Iranian AH - 1J and Iraqi fixed - wing aircraft : the AH - 1Js scored three confirmed kills against MiG - 21s , claimed a Su - 20 , and shared in the destruction of a MiG - 23 -- all using their 20 mm calibre canon . Persian Gulf War ( edit ) Main article : Air engagements of the Gulf War In the Gulf War of 1990 -- 91 , dogfighting once again proved its usefulness when the Coalition Air Force had to face off against the Iraqi Air Force , which at the time was the fifth largest in the world . By the second day of the war , the Coalition achieved air superiority . Many dogfights occurred during the short conflict , often involving many planes . By the end of January , 1991 , the term `` furball '' became a popular word to describe the hectic situation of many dogfights , occurring at the same time within the same relatively small airspace . By the end of the war , the U.S. claimed 39 Iraqi aircraft in air - to - air victories to the loss of only one F / A-18 and one drone . Of the 39 victories , 36 were taken by F - 15 Eagles . Balkans conflict ( edit ) During the Balkans conflict , in 1999 ( the Kosovo War ) , five MiG - 29s of the Yugoslav Air Force were shot down in dogfights with NATO aircraft . The first was on March 24 , by a Dutch F - 16AM Falcon , and two were downed on the same night by U.S. F - 15s . A day later two more MiG - 29 's were shot down by an F - 16 and F - 15 .

"The term dogfight has been used for centuries to describe a melee: a fierce, fast-paced battle between two or more opponents. The term gained popularity during World War II although its origin in air combat can be traced to the latter years of World War I.[3] The first written reference to the modern day usage of the word comes from Fly Papers, by A. E. Illingworth, in 1919, “The battle develops into a ‘dog-fight’, small groups of machines engaging each other in a fight to the death.”[4]"

1892014332289132883 | Halloween (2018 film) | Halloween ( 2018 film ) - Wikipedia Halloween ( 2018 film ) Halloween Teaser poster Directed by David Gordon Green Produced by Malek Akkad Jason Blum Bill Block Screenplay by Jeff Fradley Danny McBride David Gordon Green Based on Characters by John Carpenter Debra Hill Starring Jamie Lee Curtis Judy Greer Andi Matichak Will Patton Virginia Gardner Nick Castle Music by John Carpenter Cinematography Michael Simmonds Production companies Trancas International Films Blumhouse Productions Miramax Distributed by Universal Pictures Release date October 19 , 2018 ( 2018 - 10 - 19 ) ( United States ) Country United States Language English Budget $10 million Halloween is an upcoming American slasher film directed by David Gordon Green and written by Green , Jeff Fradley , and Danny McBride . It is the eleventh installment in the Halloween franchise , and is a direct sequel to Halloween , while disregarding the continuity of the previous sequels . Series co-creator John Carpenter serves as a composer , executive producer and creative consultant for the film while Jason Blum produces through Blumhouse . Jamie Lee Curtis and Nick Castle reprise their roles as Laurie Strode and Michael Myers , respectively , with stuntman James Jude Courtney also portraying Michael . The film also stars Judy Greer , Andi Matichak , Will Patton , and Virginia Gardner . Set forty years after the events of the first film , Halloween centers on Laurie Strode , facing Michael Myers , the masked figure who has haunted her since she narrowly escaped his killing spree on Halloween night four decades ago . After the release of Rob Zombie 's Halloween II , a sequel to the 2007 remake of the original , two consecutive follow - ups went into development from former rights holder Dimension Films , respectively , but neither achieved fruition . As a result , the company lost the rights to the intellectual property , later obtained by Blumhouse Productions with John Carpenter 's involvement . Carpenter , who disagreed with the remake 's portrayal of lead killer Michael Myers , wanted the next Halloween film to be much more terrifying than the preceding sequels . Filmmakers David Gordon Green and Danny McBride , who were already fans , proposed their vision to Blumhouse and Carpenter ; it was accepted and developed into a direct sequel to the original . Principal photography commenced on January 13 , 2018 , in South Carolina and concluded on February 19 , 2018 . The film is set for release on October 19 , 2018 , a week before the 40th anniversary of John Carpenter 's original Halloween ( 1978 ) . It will be distributed by Universal Pictures , its first involvement in the Halloween franchise since the 1982 film Halloween III : Season of the Witch .

Cast ( edit ) Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode Judy Greer as Karen Strode Andi Matichak as Allyson Strode Will Patton as Hawkins Virginia Gardner as Vicky Nick Castle and James Jude Courtney as Michael Myers / The Shape Miles Robbins as Dave Dylan Arnold as Cameron Drew Scheid as Oscar Omar J. Dorsey as Sheriff Barker Rob Niter as Deputy Sheriff Walker Toby Huss as Ray Jefferson Hall as Martin Rhian Rees as Dana Haines Jibrail Nantambu as Julian Production ( edit ) Development ( edit ) In 2011 , it was announced that a sequel to 2009 's Halloween II , titled Halloween 3D , would be released on October 26 , 2012 . At the time of the announcement , there was no director or writer attached to the project . Originally , Patrick Lussier and Todd Farmer were labeled as writers but dropped out due to their occupancy on the Hellraiser reboot . The film would pick up where the final frame of its predecessor left off , and would pay homage to the original version of Michael Myers from the 1978 film . It was dropped from its release schedule of October 26 , 2012 , as no progress had been made . In February 2015 , it was reported that Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan would be writing a new Halloween film , described as a `` recalibration '' rather than a reboot , along with Malek Akkad and Matt Stein producing . On June 15 , 2015 , it was further reported that The Weinstein Company was moving ahead with another Halloween sequel , tentatively titled Halloween Returns with Dunstan directing . It would have been a standalone film set to reintroduce audiences to Michael Myers years after his initial rampage from Halloween and 1981 's Halloween II , as he was confronted by a new generation of victims while on death row . On October 22 , 2015 , producer Malek Akkad revealed that the production of Halloween Returns had been postponed , stating that the extra time would result in a better film . Malek said on the matter , `` Although , I have to say , and this is somewhat new news , but unfortunately things happen in Hollywood where you have issues with studios and different variables . We 've had to take a step back and now we 're trying to re-figure this beast that is the new Halloween . So there is a bit of a delay , but this new Halloween is n't going to be quite what has been announced and what people are expecting , so we 're making some changes there as well . '' In December 2015 , it was announced that Dimension Films no longer had the rights to the Halloween franchise after Halloween Returns failed to go into production on schedule . The film 's cancellation was confirmed at the same time . On May 24 , 2016 , it was announced that Blumhouse Productions and Miramax were co-financing a new film in the franchise . Blumhouse CEO Jason Blum called the original Halloween a milestone that had influenced the company to begin making horror films , `` The great Malek Akkad and John Carpenter have a special place in the hearts of all genre fans and we are so excited that Miramax brought us together . '' The rights specifically went to Miramax and Tarik Akkad , who sought out Blum because of his success as a horror film producer . Writing and pre-production ( edit ) When John Carpenter , who had co-written the first two Halloween films with Debra Hill and directed the original , signed on as an executive producer in 2016 , he described his intention : `` Thirty - eight years after the original Halloween , I 'm going to help to try to make the 10th sequel the scariest of them all . '' He discussed his reasoning for revisiting the franchise since producing 1982 's Halloween III : Season of the Witch in an interview with Rotten Tomatoes , `` I talked about the Halloween 's for a long time , the sequels -- I have n't even seen all of them ... But finally it occurred to me : Well if I 'm just flapping my gums here , why do n't I try to make it as good as I can ? So , you know , stop throwing rocks from the sidelines and get in there and try to do something positive . '' When the rights were acquired by Blumhouse , filmmaker Adam Wingard discussed making a new Halloween film , but ultimately dropped out after being sated by an email of encouragement from Carpenter , `` I kinda walked away from it like , I just got everything I wanted out of this job . ' This is about as good as it gets . ' '' David Gordon Green and Danny McBride were publicised on February 9 , 2017 to handle screenwriting duties , with Green directing and Carpenter advising the project . Carpenter said that he was impressed with the pitch presented by the co-writers , solicited by Jason Blum , proclaiming that `` They get it . '' Rather than reboot the franchise a second time , they chose to focus primarily on continuing the mythology of the first two films when developing the story , with Danny McBride stating , `` We all came to the decision that remaking something that already works is n't a good idea . So we just have a reimagining instead . '' The pitch was created by the writers specifically to present to Carpenter , as they were self - described fans of the original Halloween to begin with . The story was eventually fleshed out so that all of the sequels were ignored from continuity , and the ending of the first film was slightly retconned in what McBride likened to an alternate reality . However , he later said that the film still pays tribute to the other films , despite sharing no direct continuity , `` you know like there 's some many different versions , and the timeline is so mixed up , we just thought it would be easier to go back to the source and continue from there . It was nicer than knowing you 're working on Halloween 11 , it just seemed cooler , ' we 're making Halloween 2 ' . For fans , we pay homage and respect to every Halloween that has been out there . '' Despite Green and McBride 's comedy roots , Halloween was distanced from the comedy genre . McBride further elaborated that `` I think there was , like , maybe one joke on the page , but the rest is straight horror . '' Believing that `` good horror movie directors are good directors '' , Jason Blum hired Green for his perceived `` amazing '' storytelling . No large steps were taken without Carpenter 's approval , including the acceptance of the initial pitch and bringing back actress Jamie Lee Curtis . Displeased with Rob Zombie 's re-imagining and added backstory of murderer Michael Myers , Carpenter wanted to take the character back to his more mysterious roots , describing him as `` a force of nature . He 's supposed to be almost supernatural . '' McBride detailed his approach as humanizing the character , `` I think we 're just trying to take it back to what was so good about the original . It was just very simple and just achieved that level of horror that was n't turning Michael Myers into some being that could n't be killed . I want to be scared by something that I really think could happen . I think it 's much more horrifying to be scared by someone standing in the shadows while you 're taking the trash out . '' Casting ( edit ) Jamie Lee Curtis and Nick Castle reprise their roles as Laurie Strode and Michael Myers / The Shape , respectively . Castle reprises his role for the first time since the original 1978 film . In September 2017 , Jamie Lee Curtis confirmed that she would reprise her role as Laurie Strode . In contrast to the character 's final girl role in the original film , Laurie armed herself and prepared extensively in the time period between films in case Michael Myers ever returned . Although Halloween II and its latter installments have portrayed Myers as a familicidal killer and Laurie as his sister , the writers felt that the added motive made him less frightening as a killer . As such , they intentionally ignored that aspect of the lore . In the trailer for the film , Strode 's granddaughter , played by Andi Matichak , explains how her life has been impacted by Michael 's reign of terror 40 years earlier . When a friend hints that they heard Michael was Laurie 's brother , Matichak 's character replies , `` No , it was not her brother , that was something people made up . '' The writers did not originally know if Curtis would be willing to return , according to McBride , so they `` busted ( their ) ass on this script to really make that Laurie Strode character something she would n't be able to say no to . '' On why she returned , Curtis stated , `` As soon as I read what David Green and Danny McBride had come up with ... and the way that they connected the dots of the story , it made so much sense to me that it felt totally appropriate for me to return to Haddonfield , Ill. , for another 40th - anniversary retelling . It 's the original story in many , many , many ways . Just retold 40 years later with my granddaughter . '' Curtis had previously returned as Laurie in the sequels Halloween II ( 1981 ) , Halloween H20 : 20 Years Later , and Halloween : Resurrection . The following October , Judy Greer entered negotiations to play Laurie 's daughter Karen Strode . Danielle Harris , who played Laurie 's daughter Jamie Lloyd in the original continuity 's Halloween 4 and Halloween 5 , contacted Blumhouse with the offer to reprise her role in some way , but the studio planned to go with a different daughter character , to Harris ' disappointment : `` I was okay with it when she had a son ... but they 're saying it 's the last one and ... she has a daughter . And it 's not Jamie . It 's just kind of a bummer , I guess . '' On December 7 , 2017 , Andi Matichak was cast to play Laurie 's granddaughter Allyson . On December 20 , 2017 , it was announced that Nick Castle , who portrayed Michael Myers in the original film , would be reprising his role , with actor and stuntman James Jude Courtney set to portray Myers as well . Courtney was suggested to Malek Akkad and David Gordon Green by stunt coordinator Rawn Hutchinson for his ability to do both physical stunts and genuine acting , auditioning afterwards and receiving a phone call in December 2017 affirming that he had landed the role . Green explained to him his vision for Myers ' mannerisms , an amalgamation of Castle 's original performance and the addition of an efficient cat - eque style of movement . Courtney tailored his portrayal to those specifications from observing an actual cat , `` I think cats are the most perfect hunting machines on the planet . And the beauty of it is we do n't judge a cat for what a cat does . So I sort of carried that movement and the non-judgmental approach to the way I moved as The Shape , which I learned from my cat Parcival . '' He referred to collaborating with Castle as an `` honor '' , with Castle describing it as a `` passing of the torch '' . He used John Carpenter and Castle 's work on the original film to determine how the forty years that transpired between the events of the films would inform the character over time . On January 13 , 2018 , Ginny Gardner , Miles Robbins , Dylan Arnold and Drew Scheid were confirmed to play Allyson 's friends , respectively . On January 16 , 2018 , Will Patton was publicized to have joined the film 's roster . He was later joined by Rob Niter , both actors being announced to portray police officers . At the same time , Rhian Rees was cast as a character named Dana . Speaking of the cast , Nick Castle stated that `` What I like about this ( new film ) is they 've got some really good young actors . They fleshed out the relationship of Jamie 's character with her daughter and her granddaughter . And they made some choices that I think are really bold choices about who these people are and why they are the way they are now . '' Filming ( edit ) Principal production began on January 13 , 2018 in Charleston , South Carolina . Originally , it was set to begin in late October 2017 , but was delayed until January 2018 . Michael Simmonds served cinematography duties , with Paul Daley and Stewart Cantrell operating the camera . According to Danny McBride , the horror of the film aims to create a sense of tension and dread to the audience rather than relying on graphic violence ; the make - up and visual effects were provided by Christopher Nelson . Jamie Lee Curtis finished her scenes on February 16 , 2018 , with the remaining principal photography concluding on February 19 , 2018 . Response to the film 's first test screening led the filmmakers to schedule reshoots beginning June 11 , 2018 , where they will adjust the end scene . Filming will take place again in Charleston . Courtney did a week of rehearsal before filming began . Nelson used a life cast of his face to construct the Michael Myers ' mask and other prosthetics worn by the actor . The mask was weathered and aged to reflect the character 's `` authentic evolution '' since the original . Courtney was involved in every scene featuring Myers , including those of Nick Castle , who was only involved for a minimal amount of filming , which Castle described to the journalists on set as a cameo appearance : `` Jim is our Michael Myers now . '' Castle expressed that it was the filmmakers intention to maintain the atmosphere of the original and that , like the 1978 film , `` it 's very neighborhood - centric ... There are a lot of things coinciding ( in the new film ) that feel like clever ways to introduce a kind of déjà vu of the first one , without feeling like it 's being copied . It was the first thing out of their mouths really : ' We want to do it like John ( Carpenter ) did it . ' '' Nelson accompanied Courtney throughout filming , providing him with acting advice from his own knowledge of the characters of the Halloween franchise . Nelson had been interviewed and examined for the film by Akkad and Green after a conversation with Blumhouse producer Ryan Turek , who he was already acquainted with . Collaborating with fellow make - up effects artist Vincent Van Dyke , some of his designs and concepts were initially rejected due to legal complications , which were later straightened out as he began his work on the film . Rather than trying to copy the design of the original mask , he simply intended on recapturing what he described as the visual `` feeling '' of it . Because the film is set forty years after the events of the original , he studied the decomposition and wrinkling of forty - year - old masks over time while outlining his take on Myers ' look , `` You 're not creating just a mask . You 're creating a feeling that you get that does have an expression ... But also the mask looks completely different in every single angle it 's ever been photographed at , and I wanted that feeling too . '' Courtney was hired after Nelson advised Green not to cast a hulking stuntman in the role in compliance with the first film . Music ( edit ) After previously providing the score for the original Halloween , Halloween II , and Halloween III : Season of the Witch , John Carpenter confirmed in October 2017 that he had made a deal to score the 2018 release . Regarding his take on the sequel , he said , `` I 'll be consulting with the director to see what he feels . I could create a new score , we could update the old score and amplify it , or we could combine those two things . I 'll have to see the movie to see what it requires . '' Release ( edit ) Halloween is scheduled to be released theatrically on October 19 , 2018 . Marketing ( edit ) The CinemaCon film convention premiered exclusive footage on April 25 , 2018 , garnering positive reactions from those in attendance . The film is scheduled to have a presentation at the San Diego Comic - Con in Hall H on July 20 , 2018 . Merchandising ( edit ) Trick or Treat Studios obtained the official costume licensing rights for the film . Both Nelson and Vincent Van Dyke joined their design team , who used toolings from the screen - used mold of Michael Myers ' mask to adapt it for mass market sale . Future ( edit ) In October 2017 , John Carpenter said that the film would be the final installment of the series . However , in June 2018 , McBride confirmed that he and Green originally had intended to pitch two films that would be shot back - to - back , after deciding against it and waiting to see the reaction to the first film : `` We were going to shoot two of them back - to - back . Then we were like , ' Well , let 's not get ahead of ourselves . This could come out , and everyone could hate us , and we 'd never work again . So , let 's not have to sit around for a year while we wait for another movie to come out that we know people are n't going to like . ' So , we were like , ' Let 's learn from this , and see what works , and what does n't . ' But we definitely have an idea of where we would go ( with ) this branch of the story and hopefully we get a chance to do it .

The song discusses Cyrus ' relationship with current fiancé and The Last Song co-star , Liam Hemsworth . Critics viewed `` Malibu '' as indicative of Cyrus ' transition into becoming a more mellow artist , and more removed from her previously controversial image . The song became her ninth top - ten entry on the US Billboard Hot 100 , peaking at number ten . An accompanying music video was released on the same day as the song . It features Cyrus in various all - white outfits as she is shown frolicking in various outdoor locations .

I had to really heal myself individually , and then this song -- about finding a new love with an old love , maybe you 're finding a new freedom -- is also about individuality and the freedom in that . And realizing that certain doors lead you to one place you never imagined you would be , and if that can be through a person , that 's really awesome . '' -- Cyrus , speaking on Elvis Duran and the Morning Show regarding the song Following the release of her fifth studio album , Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz , Cyrus resumed working on her upcoming sixth studio album . Cyrus announced in October 2016 that she was re-engaged to actor and current fiancé Liam Hemsworth , with whom she starred in the Nicholas Sparks film adaptation of the novel of the same name , The Last Song . Cyrus wrote `` Malibu '' while taking an Uber on her way to her first day on The Voice . `` Malibu '' was first announced in a May 2017 cover story for Billboard magazine , where Cyrus announced that the song , which would be the lead single from her upcoming sixth studio album , which was later announced to be titled Younger Now , and it would be released on May 11 , 2017 . In the same interview , she also addressed being sober for three weeks prior , and noting that this had an impact on the song . While its title references the city of Malibu , California , the song mainly discusses her relationship with Hemsworth . Cyrus described the song as being about `` finding a new love with an old love '' , and about finding a `` new freedom '' in that . The production of the song was handled by Oren Yoel , with whom Cyrus worked on songs such as `` Adore You '' . The cover artwork of `` Malibu '' was revealed on May 10 , showing Cyrus lying on top of the grass back in her backyard , with her engagement ring on ; it was taken by Hemsworth . The song first premiered on Beats 1 on May 11 , 2017 , presented by Zane Lowe . It was then released for streaming on Apple Music and other streaming platforms . Composition and lyrical interpretation Rolling Stone characterized the song as pop rock , whereas Spin described it as `` SoCal soft rock '' . It is performed in the key of A ♭ major with a tempo of 140 beats per minute . Cyrus ' vocals span from E ♭ to F . The song 's lyrics differ from Cyrus 's previous two albums , and provide introspection on her love life with Liam Hemsworth , whom she lived with in Malibu at the time of writing the song . The New York Times said Cyrus sings about `` past insecurities , current contentment and ' Hoping I just stay the same , and nothing will change / And it 'll be us , just for a while . ' '' Critical reception The New York Times 's Jon Pareles described the song as `` nice as can be '' , saying , `` The only shock is that there 's no shock . '' Jon Blistein of Rolling Stone called `` Malibu '' a `` stripped - down song ... ( which ) buoys Cyrus ' simple vocals and lovestruck lyrics . '' Forbes writer Hugh McIntyre says `` ' Malibu ' is unexpected upon first listen '' , and notes Cyrus `` has gone in an Americana direction , opting for a guitar - based composition instead of the electronic sound her fans have become used to over the past few years . '' Joey Nolfi of Entertainment Weekly gave the song a positive review , describing it as `` minimal , refreshing , and simple in tone '' , as well as `` radio - friendly . '' Time 's Raisa Bruner called `` Malibu '' a `` stripped - down '' and `` breezy '' track , and noted that the track deviates from her previous work , which included `` zany stage antics '' and `` conversation - sparking politics '' . The New Yorker 's review by Amanda Petrusich was also critical of the track . The New Yorker recognised the musical strength of the song , stating `` Musically , `` Malibu '' is a mix of Laurel Canyon and Nashville , equal parts bohemian and smarmy ; it is as if Dolly Parton were finally called upon to sing a late - era Stevie Nicks track `` ; however , the review called Cyrus ' performance of it `` lifeless '' , writing that her disposal to the hip - hop culture she once embraced now feels `` disingenuous , if not sinister '' . Petrusich stated that `` this is too bad , because Cyrus has a rich , husky voice , and , when she inhabits it with more gusto , like on her previous singles `` The Climb '' and `` Wrecking Ball . '' it conveys both fragility and tremendous strength . '' Pitchfork writer Jillian Mapes was more critical of the song , calling the song `` sedated '' , `` wholly inoffensive '' , and `` a shrug of a song '' , while saying that `` ( Malibu is ) so breezy , it makes Sheryl Crow seem edgy , or Lady Gaga 's Joanne resemble a legit rock'n'roll reinvention . '' Variety writer Chris Willman had a mixed opinion on the track , calling it `` sweet '' and `` deeply felt '' , praising Cyrus 's `` guilelessness '' and Oren Yoel 's production skills while also comparing her sound on the song to that of Seals and Crofts , but adding that the track itself has `` any number of clunker lines '' and non-sequiturs . SPIN 's Andy Cush expressed a mixed reaction to the track , saying that while it boasts `` earnest lyrics , unfussy production with handclaps and clean electric guitars , ( and ) a mild twang to remind you of her status as the progeny of a country star '' , he found the track to be `` utterly inoffensive '' and that Cyrus 's persona in `` Malibu '' felt like `` her most deliberately constructed persona yet '' , while likening her sound to that of Sheryl Crow and Don Henley . Commercial performance In the United States , with less than a day of tracking , `` Malibu '' debuted at number 64 on the Billboard Hot 100 with 29,000 downloads and 4 million streams . In its first full week , the single soared to number 10 with 77,000 copies sold ( 106,000 total ) , 21.5 million streams , and logged 13.5 million in airplay audience . The feat makes `` Malibu '' Cyrus ' ninth top 10 entry on the chart and her first since `` Wrecking Ball '' in 2013 . On the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart the song debuted at number 27 the week of July 15 , 2017 with 103 spins and 0.167 millions in audience impressions across American adult contemporary radio stations . As of September 2017 , `` Malibu '' has sold more than 1,000,000 copies in the United States . In United Kingdom , the single debuted at number eleven on the UK Singles Chart , becoming her fourth song to peak at this position . In Oceania , `` Malibu '' peaked at number three on the ARIA Charts in Australia and at number four on the Official New Zealand Music Chart . Music video The music video for `` Malibu '' was released on May 11 , 2017 , and was directed by Cyrus and Diane Martel . The music video features several shots of Cyrus on a beach with balloons , sitting in front of a waterfall , in wildflower fields , and running with a dog , all while dressed in various white outfits . In the video , she also shows her engagement ring . It garnered over 50 million views within its first week . Live performances Cyrus performed the single on the Today Show on May 26 , 2017 . Cyrus performed `` Malibu '' live for the first time at Wango Tango on May 13 , 2017 , as a special guest performer . A little over a week later , she gave her first televised performance of the track at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards on May 21 . She was introduced by both her father , Billy Ray Cyrus , and sister , Noah Cyrus , before performing the song . She wore a pair of white jean shorts , a white crop top , and a tan cowboy hat . Cyrus began to choke up towards the end of the performance , becoming teary - eyed and thanking her fans . A day later , she performed the song on The Voice finale , in front of a forest - themed backdrop similar to in the song 's music video . She prefaced the performance by dedicating it to Ariana Grande and victims of the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing , which had occurred 2 days prior to her performance , saying , `` I 'd like to dedicate this song to my good friend Ariana Grande and to everyone who experienced that horrific attack yesterday . Our hearts are with you . '' On May 26 , Cyrus also performed the song on the Today show as part as their Citi Concert series . On June 10 , Cyrus performed `` Malibu '' during the iHeartRadio Summer Pool Party . She also performed the song on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon , along with `` Inspired '' which Fallon called her `` the real deal '' , the following Wednesday . On September 15 , Cyrus performed `` Malibu '' for the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge , accompanied with other songs like `` Younger Now '' , `` See You Again '' , `` Party in the U.S.A. '' and a cover of Roberta Flack 's `` The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face '' . Cover versions On May 27 , vocal group Cimorelli released their acoustic cover of the song `` Malibu '' on YouTube . On the same day , singer Rebecca Black also covered the song and filmed its music video in Malibu beach , which Shem from Kiss FM felt that the singer had `` displayed her singing chops '' . In June , a Swedish band Twenty One Two uploaded a rock version of the song on their YouTube channel . The song was also covered by several YouTubers , like Kurt Hugo Schneider , Madilyn Bailey and Sam Tsui later than month .

Introduced in the animated film The Lion King in 1994 , Nala subsequently appears as a less prominent character in the film 's sequels The Lion King II : Simba 's Pride ( 1998 ) and The Lion King 11⁄2 ( 2004 ) . In the original film , the adult Nala was voiced by American actress Moira Kelly . Young Nala 's speaking voice is provided by actress Niketa Calame , while singers Laura Williams and Sally Dworsky provide the singing voices of young and adult Nala respectively . Nala is introduced as the childhood best friend of Simba , and ultimately becomes his wife by the end of The Lion King . Several years after Simba 's uncle Scar has killed Simba 's father Mufasa and usurped the throne , Nala desperately ventures into the jungle to find help . Upon unexpectedly reuniting with a grown Simba , who she had long been tricked by Scar into presuming dead , Nala encourages him to return to Pride Rock , overthrow his uncle and ultimately become king . As Simba 's queen , Nala has a daughter , Kiara , whose story is explored in The Lion King : Simba 's Pride . Nala is the most significant female character in The Lion King . As the film was inspired by William Shakespeare 's tragedy Hamlet , Nala is considered to be The Lion King 's equivalent of Hamlet 's love interest Ophelia , although differences remain between the two characters . Many early concepts first developed for Nala were eventually abandoned , including a brother and father for the character , as well as her being romantically pursued by Scar . While critical reception towards Nala has been generally mixed -- both film and feminist critics complained about the character 's lack of involvement in the story and supposedly submissive demeanor during the song `` Can You Feel the Love Tonight '' -- Kelly 's vocal performance has been praised . Nala appears in the Broadway musical adaptation of the film , first played by singer Heather Headley . The character also appears in the television series The Lion Guard , with Gabrielle Union replacing Kelly as the voice of Nala and in the upcoming 2019 remake of the original film directed by Jon Favreau . Contents ( hide ) 1 Development 1.1 Conception and writing 1.2 Voice and music 2 Characterization and themes 3 Appearances 3.1 Film and television 3.2 Musical 4 Reception 5 References Development ( edit ) Conception and writing ( edit ) Film critic James Berardinelli identified Nala as The Lion King 's `` sole significant female character . '' Screenwriter Linda Woolverton conceived Nala `` as part of a gradual progression ... which have driven recent public conversation about what young girls should be able to expect from their cinematic role models . '' In early versions of the screenplay , Nala has a younger brother named Mheetu , who enjoys accompanying his sister and her best friend Simba on their adventures . Pronounced `` me too '' , the character 's name alludes to this personality trait . At one point , Simba was supposed to save the cub from a wildebeest stampede , and Nala would eventually become responsible for protecting Mheetu from Simba 's tyrannical uncle Scar . Nala also had a fox friend named Bhati . According to Woolverton , Mheetu and Bhati were eventually written out of the film because their stories were beginning to distract from Simba 's , in addition to the Mheetu - Scar subplot making the film too dark when combined with the death of Simba 's father Mufasa . At one point , Nala also had a father ; the character was similarly abandoned . Because The Lion King was originally conceived as a much more mature and adult - oriented film , Nala was supposed to have been banished from the Pride Lands as punishment for rejecting Scar 's romantic advances . This idea was to have been further explored in Scar 's song `` Be Prepared ( Reprise ) '' , during which Scar demands that Nala become his queen , but the musical number was ultimately cut from the final film because the scene was considered too `` creepy . '' Matthew Roulette of TheFW believes that the scene was abandoned because of the characters ' significant age difference . Nala means `` gift '' in Swahili . The character has a mother , whose name is never mentioned in the film ; however , she is credited as Sarafina during the film 's end credits . Candice Russel of the Sun - Sentinel believes that Nala contributes to the film 's love story -- `` an indispensable factor in Disney cartoon features '' -- in addition to convincing Simba to return to Pride Rock . It has been observed that , unlike Disney 's three previous animated efforts ( The Little Mermaid ( 1989 ) , Beauty and the Beast ( 1991 ) and Aladdin ( 1992 ) , the romantic relationship between Nala and Simba is not main plot of the film . Ella Ceron of Thought Catalog observed that `` At ( Simba 's ) return , she 's not exactly the friendliest little kitten , either ... but is willing to overlook her own hurt ego in the spirit of their friendship . She believes in Simba , and does n't understand why he would n't want to fight for his right to rule . '' Voice and music ( edit ) The speaking voice of adult Nala is provided by American actress Moira Kelly . Kelly was first informed that Disney was scheduling auditions for the role of Nala by her agent . Despite not having been the directors ' first choice for the role initially , Kelly was allowed to audition nonetheless because the filmmakers had been longing to hear different voices . Kelly believes that the directors were searching for a specific `` quality of voice ... a sort of authoritative voice but with a lot of warmth '' to compliment Nala 's sensible yet nurturing personality . After a series of callbacks , during which Kelly returned to Disney several times to read the character 's lines , the final decision eventually came down to be between Kelly and one other actress . It was not until several months after her audition that Kelly would finally be contacted and offered the part ; Disney 's initial first choice for the role remains undisclosed . Actor Matthew Broderick , voice of Simba , had already begun recording alongside another actress who had been cast as Nala before that actress was eventually replaced with Kelly . Broderick was not informed about his original co-star being recast , and only learned that Nala was actually voiced by Kelly at the film 's premiere . The film 's entire recording process took approximately three years to complete , during which Kelly 's sessions were held in both the United States and Canada , while her co-stars Broderick and Jeremy Irons , voice of Scar , were recording in the United States and England , respectively . Each main cast member recorded their dialogue separately , which took Kelly some time to get used to because she had grown accustomed to working with several other actors at a time on the sets of live - action films . For The Lion King , a director would often take the place of another actor for Kelly to act opposite of . Vocally , Kelly decided to approach the role as though she were reading to a child , explaining , `` it 's kind of fun to play with different voices and try to color the lines for the child so they can imagine it more fully '' , which she admitted is different than how the actress would approach a live - action role . Because Nala is a `` very straight character '' , determining what kind of voice she would use for her was not a particularly challenging task . Additionally , the filmmakers would also film Kelly 's performances in order to incorporate her own facial expressions into her character 's design , the process of which impressed the actress . In her film debut , actress Niketa Calame voices young Nala . According to Calame 's official website , Nala remains the actress ' `` biggest role to date '' . A classically trained pianist and chorister , Laura Williams provides the singing voice of young Nala , which can be heard in the song `` I Just Ca n't Wait to Be King '' ; the singer was 15 years old at the time . Meanwhile , singer - songwriter Sally Dworsky provides the singing voice of adult Nala , which is heard during the song `` Can You Feel the Love Tonight '' . The film 's love theme , `` Can You Feel the Love Tonight '' 's lyrics were re-written approximately 15 times , according to lyricist Tim Rice , who wrote the song alongside composer Elton John . At one point , the producers wanted the song to be a comical duet performed by supporting characters Timon and Pumbaa , despite the fact that John had originally composed the song with Nala and Simba in mind . However , John lobbied in favor of `` Can You Feel the Love Tonight '' being a love song performed as a duet by Nala and Simba , with which the filmmakers ultimately agreed . When asked by Disney if she was interested in reprising her role as Nala in The Lion King II : Simba 's Pride , Kelly immediately accepted , joking , `` Sure , you wan na do a third , fourth , fifth ? I 'm right there '' . In the case of The Lion King 11⁄2 , it took the actress only a few days to record her character 's dialogue due to Nala 's comparatively smaller role in the film ; much of Nala 's footage from the first film was simply reused accordingly . Elton John 's official website cites Kelly among the film 's cast of actors who `` would grace any red carpet . '' Kelly 's performance as Nala is responsible for introducing the actress to a younger audience . Previously , she had been better known for appearing in more adult - oriented live - action films at that time . In 2011 , Kelly revealed that fans of the film rarely recognize her speaking voice as the voice of Nala , although Robert DeSalvo of NextMovie.com claims that the actress `` has a ... distinctive voice that The Lion King fans will instantly recognize as the voice of adult Nala . '' Characterization and themes ( edit ) A straight woman character , Kelly described Nala as a sensible and nurturing yet authoritative character , while Amber Leab of Bitch Flicks described her as strong , independent and intelligent . According to Oh My Disney , Nala serves as `` the proverbial glue that keeps The Lion King together '' , from whose perspective the audience watches the film because she `` says EXACTLY what we 're thinking '' . Occupying the role of the film 's female lead , Nala is The Lion King 's most important female character , who contributes to the film 's `` small romance element '' . Often identified as the film 's deuteragonist , Taylor Orci of The Atlantic felt that `` Nala is really the agent of change in The Lion King '' , dismissing Simba as a `` rich , lazy boyfriend . '' Leab observed that The Lion King 's male characters tend to `` take the center stage '' while `` female characters take a backseat to the action . '' Lenka Křivánková of Masaryk University wrote in her thesis `` 1990s Hollywood Break - Away Hits : A Feminist Perspective '' that she was not particularly surprised by the film 's lack of strong roles for women because of its Shakespearean source material , dubbing the film `` an old traditional fairy tale with all its traditional features '' , including patriarchy and monarchism . Writing for the University of Waterloo 's Kinema , Vicky Wong believes that Nala reinforces the film 's `` take your place '' motif , reminding main character Simba of his responsibilities . In his book Retelling Stories , Framing Culture : Traditional Story and Metanarratives in Children 's Literature , author John Stephens credits Nala with teaching Simba about responsibility -- `` the lesson the hero must learn before he can become an adult '' . Including Nala , The Lion King has only three major female characters in comparison to the film 's total of nine male ones . Shepherd University 's Emmylou Allen observed that Nala is introduced `` as a dominating young girl '' who ultimately matures into `` a strong woman '' by the film 's conclusion . Mouse Morality : The Rhetoric of Disney Animated Film author Annalee R. Ward wrote that Nala 's role in The Lion King reflected `` a 1990s feminist reversal '' . In her book Biblical Allusions , author Lindsay Bacher acknowledged that Nala is often depicted as a stronger and more responsible character than Simba , despite observations that The Lion King 's female characters lack agency . Leab identified Nala as Simba 's `` equal '' who is `` a more naturally sound leader throughout the film , while Simba tends to be comparatively a bit more immature and in need of multiple characters propelling him into responsible / rightful action . '' Physically , Nala is also a stronger and more skilled fighter than Simba , proven by the character 's ability to overwhelm him in battle , which is reminiscent `` of the physical power of lionesses in the real nature . '' However , as strong as she is , Nala has little impact elsewhere ; author Brian K. Pennington wrote in his book Teaching Religion and Violence that `` Nala 's assertions of gender equality are clearly groundless , since only a male lion can stop Scar . '' New York 's David Denbey dismissed Nala 's athleticism as nothing more than Disney 's attempt to `` disguise ( the film 's ) essential boss - daddy ethos . '' Bacher believes that had The Lion King featured Nala as the Pride Lands ' hero as opposed to Simba , the film could have avoided having a `` patriarchal structure . '' Leab concluded that `` the main and most problematic aspects of the film '' remain that The Lion King `` boils down to the fact that an entire group of strong female characters are unable to confront a single male oppressor ; to do so , they need to be led by a dominant male . '' Leab continued , `` It almost sucks more that Nala is such a strong ... female character and still ends up constrained by this plot device '' , accusing the film of depicting women as weak . Alongside Faline from Bambi ( 1942 ) and Maid Marian from Robin Hood ( 1973 ) added , Nala belongs to a trio of Disney heroines who , after having been separated from their love interests for several years , eventually reunite with them . Stephens believes that Nala and Simba 's separation allows the characters to fall in love `` properly '' upon reuniting as young adults . Because The Lion King is loosely based on William Shakespeare 's tragedy Hamlet , Nala is considered to be the film 's `` representative '' of the Hamlet character Ophelia , Hamlet 's love interest . Both characters ' relationships with and opinions of their love interests are similar , however , there are several differences between the two women . While identifying Nala as `` the closest character in The Lion King to Ophelia , '' Shepherd University 's Emmylou Allen acknowledged in her article `` Shakespeare in the Pride Lands '' that `` their similarities are not as great as their contrasts . '' Unlike Ophelia , Nala does not succumb to insanity , nor does she eventually die . Instead , Nala establishes herself as `` a physically powerful ally '' by encouraging Simba to return to Pride Rock , and helping the character overthrow Scar . Additionally , Nala is a more stubborn character than Ophelia , the latter of whom is quite passive and obedient . While Ophelia is raised by a single father , Nala is raised solely by her mother , which inspired Allen to believe that Nala is a manifestation of how Ophelia would have turned out had she been raised by a woman instead of a man , concluding , `` Nala is able to show the potential that Ophelia could have had . '' . Appearances ( edit ) Film and television ( edit ) A young Nala debuted in The Lion King ( 1994 ) as the daughter of Sarafina and the best friend of Simba , who she often accompanies on his adventures throughout the Pride Lands . Simba invites Nala to visit the forbidden Elephant Graveyard with him , despite his father Mufasa 's orders . The cubs are soon ambushed by Shenzi , Banzai and Ed , a trio of hyenas chosen by Simba 's treacherous uncle Scar to kill Simba in order to improve his own chances of becoming king , but are ultimately rescued by Mufasa . The following day , however , Nala is devastated to learn from Scar that both Simba and Mufasa have perished during a wildebeest stampede . With both Simba and Mufasa dead , Scar usurps the throne and becomes king . Several years into Scar 's tyrannical rule , which has left the kingdom barren and starving , a desperate Nala ventures into the jungle in search of help , where she attempts to eat a warthog named Pumbaa ; little does she know that the warthog is actually a friend of Simba 's , who is in fact alive and well . While defending Pumbaa from Nala , Simba recognizes Nala , and the two finally reunite only to argue over why Simba is refusing to face his responsibilities and return to Pride Rock . Upon learning that Simba has eventually decided to return to Pride Rock and face Scar , Nala travels back to the Pride Lands to assist him . Surprised to find Simba alive , Scar forces his guilt - ridden nephew to `` admit '' to the pride that he is responsible for Mufasa 's death , which was in fact caused by Scar himself by throwing Mufasa off a cliff into the stampede . Upon learning the truth , Simba forces his uncle to admit his crime to the pride , and a battle ensues between the pride and Scar 's army of hyenas . Simba eventually defeats Scar and becomes king , with Nala ultimately becoming his queen . In the film 's first direct - to - video sequel The Lion King II : Simba 's Pride ( 1998 ) , Nala appears in a less prominent role as Queen of the Pride Lands and mother of Kiara , the spirited daughter of her and Simba . Nala observes that Kiara , of whom Simba is very protective , has inherited her father 's rebellious personality and love of adventure . When Kiara befriends Zira 's son Kovu , a young lion from an exiled pride of Scar 's followers known as the Outsiders , Nala is much more tolerant of their relationship than Simba , and convinces him to offer Kovu a chance to prove himself trustworthy.At the end of the film , Nala gains Kovu as her son - in - law after he marries Kiara . In The Lion King 11⁄2 ( 2004 ) , which focuses instead on Timon and Pumbaa 's friendship , Nala 's role is virtually identical to that of her appearance in The Lion King because filmmakers reused most of the character 's footage from the first film . Voiced by actress Gabrielle Union , Nala reprises her role as Queen of the Pride Lands in the television series The Lion Guard , the 2016 premiere of which was preceded by the made - for - television film The Lion Guard : Return of the Roar ( 2015 ) . Set within the time gap in The Lion King II : Simba 's Pride , the show revolves around Nala and Simba 's son Kion who , being their second - born cub after Kiara , has been tasked with forming the next Lion Guard , a group responsible for protecting the Pride Lands . Although a fan of the Lion King franchise , Union avoided watching previous Lion King films in preparation for the role because she wanted to `` put ( her ) own stamp '' on the character . On November 1 , 2017 , it was confirmed that Beyoncé would voice adult Nala in Jon Favreau 's The Lion King , which is expected to be released in July 19 , 2019 . The same day Shahadi Wright Joseph was cast as young Nala in the film . Musical ( edit ) In the Broadway musical adaptation of The Lion King , the role of Nala was originated by Trinidadian - American singer Heather Headley . Her Broadway debut , at first auditioning for the role proved a challenge for the singer due to her Ragtime contract , which her agent was eventually successful in getting her released from . Director Julie Taymor felt that Nala 's journey in the film was underdeveloped and among the story 's weaker elements , and thus decided to `` strengthen '' the character 's narrative for Broadway . Reception ( edit ) Critical reception towards Nala has been generally mixed ; both film and feminist critics have accused the film of lacking empowering roles for female characters , including Nala . James Berardinelli of ReelViews appreciated the fact that `` after three animated motion pictures centered upon the love of two people from different worlds '' , the love story between Nala and Simba has been relegated to that of `` a subplot . '' Desson Howe of The Washington Post advised parents to remind their daughters that despite the fact that Nala `` pads in the supportive shadows , awaiting her inevitable marriage to Simba , it does n't mean human girls ca n't grow up to be monarchs too . '' Nala 's role and demeanor during the film 's romantic `` Can You Feel the Love Tonight '' sequence has drawn criticism in regards to her `` submissive behaviour '' . The New York Times ' Janet Maslin cited the film 's lack of a strong heroine among its weaknesses , dismissing Nala and Simba 's interaction throughout `` Can You Feel the Love Tonight '' as `` obligatory '' and `` gratuitous '' . Joel W. Martin wrote in the Journal of Religion and Film , `` One song later , ( Nala and Simba ) have fallen in love . Playing one day , they literally tumble down a hillside in the jungle , and he ends up on top of her . This time , she does not bear her teeth , but instead , shows ' bedroom eyes ' '' . Martin ultimately accused the scene 's `` reversal of positions '' of `` establish ( ing ) male dominance . '' Criticizing the film for `` being merely distracting when it could have been both meaningful and instructive '' , Robert Humanick of Slant Magazine wrote , `` Small potatoes , then , when Simba 's former childhood friend and betrothed queen Nala ... unexpectedly reappears in his duty - free , protein - rich life , demanding he return to his kingly responsibilities and coaxing the lion to sleep tonight with arguably the most blatant ' fuck me now ' face to ever appear in a PG - rated film . '' However , the character has garnered positive reviews as well . Sara Franks - Allen of ScreenCrush wrote that `` If being a Disney princess is about being a good role model for little girls , then Nala has a lot in her favor '' , elaborating , `` She 's strong enough to take down Simba , ventures out on her own to find help for her pride and calls Simba out for ignoring his responsibilities . '' Meanwhile , Ella Ceron of Thought Catalog ranked Nala 14th on her list of `` The 16 Most Awesome Female Characters From Disney Movies '' . Responsible for introducing the seasoned actress to a younger audience , Kelly 's vocal performance as Nala has garnered critical acclaim . Writing for The Washington Post , Desson Howe hailed Kelly 's voice acting as `` terrific . '' Jeremy Gerard of Variety commended Kelly for voicing the character `` beautifully '' . PopSugar ranked Kelly among the website 's `` Favorite Animated Voices '' , writing , `` there are a lot of great voices in Disney 's The Lion King ... but Moira Kelly has a unique quality to her voice , and I remember reveling in it as a youngster anytime the adult Nala was on the screen . '' Official Disney Blogs published an article entitled `` We All Thought it ... But Nala Actually Said It '' , which cites the character 's most revered quotes . The blog also ranked Nala eighth on the website 's `` Definitive Ranking of Disney Cats '' list . In a 2014 interview , actor Eddie Redmayne admitted that Nala was his first `` celebrity crush '' , having been specifically attracted to the character 's `` sweet '' face and singing voice , referring to the experience as his `` sexual awakening '' .

The Games saw the introduction of women 's ice hockey , curling and snowboarding . National Hockey League players were allowed to participate in the men 's ice hockey . The host was selected on June 15 , 1991 , over Salt Lake City , Östersund , Jaca and Aosta . They were the third Olympic Games and second winter Olympics to be held in Japan , after the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo and the 1972 Winter Olympics in Sapporo . Nagano is so far the southernmost city to host a Winter Olympics , next to Squaw Valley , host of the 1960 Winter Olympics . The games were succeeded by the 1998 Winter Paralympics from 5 to 14 March . These were the final Winter Olympic Games under the IOC Presidency of Juan Antonio Samaranch .

The host city selection was held in Birmingham , United Kingdom , on 15 June 1991 , at the 97th IOC session . Nagano prevailed over Salt Lake City by just 4 votes . In June 1995 , Salt Lake was chosen as the host of the following 2002 Winter Olympics . The Nagano Olympic bid committee spent approximately $14 million to entertain the 62 International Olympic Committee members and many of their companions . The precise figures are unknown since Nagano , after the IOC asked that the entertainment expenditures not be made public , destroyed the financial records .

Highlights ( edit ) Bjørn Dæhlie won 3 gold medals in cross-country skiing , making him the Winter Olympic competitor with the most wins ever . Alpine skier Hermann Maier survived a fall in the downhill and went on to win gold in the super-G and giant slalom . Netherlands won 5 of the 10 speed skating events , including 2 each by Gianni Romme and Marianne Timmer . Canada beat Denmark in the women 's curling final , securing the latter their first Winter Olympic medal ever . Women 's ice hockey was contested at the Olympic Games for the first time ever , and the United States beat the Canadians 3 -- 1 for the gold medal . United States went undefeated in the women 's tournament . The Czech Republic defeated Russia by a score of 1 -- 0 for the men 's gold medal , while Finland won both the men 's and women 's bronze medals for ice hockey . Cross-country skier Bjørn Dæhlie of Norway won three gold medals in Nordic skiing to become the first winter Olympian to earn eight career gold medals and twelve total medals . Surya Bonaly did a backflip and landed on only one blade , making her the only female Olympic figure skater to land a backflip on only one blade . Curling returned as an official sport , after having been demoted to a demonstration event after the inaugural Winter Games in Chamonix in 1924 . Snowboarding debuted as an official sport . Players from the NHL were able to compete in men 's ice hockey due to a three - week suspension of the NHL season . Tara Lipinski , 15 , narrowly beat Michelle Kwan in women 's figure skating to become the youngest champion in an individual event in the history of the Winter Olympics . Alpine skier Hermann Maier ( Austria ) survived a fall in the downhill and went on to gold in the super-g and giant slalom .

-6802529267148181474 | History of the battery | History of the battery - wikipedia History of the battery This article is about history of the development of electrochemical cells . For the history of artillery batteries , see Artillery battery . A voltaic pile , the first chemical battery Batteries provided the main source of electricity before the development of electric generators and electrical grids around the end of the 19th century . Successive improvements in battery technology facilitated major electrical advances , from early scientific studies to the rise of telegraphs and telephones , eventually leading to portable computers , mobile phones , electric cars , and many other electrical devices . Scientists and engineers developed several commercially important types of battery . `` Wet cells '' were open containers that held liquid electrolyte and metallic electrodes . When the electrodes were completely consumed , the wet cell was renewed by replacing the electrodes and electrolyte . Open containers are unsuitable for mobile or portable use . Wet cells were used commercially in the telegraph and telephone systems . Early electric cars used semi-sealed wet cells . One important classification for batteries is by their life cycle . `` Primary '' batteries can produce current as soon as assembled , but once the active elements are consumed , they can not be electrically recharged . The development of the lead - acid battery and subsequent `` secondary '' or `` rechargeable '' types allowed energy to be restored to the cell , extending the life of permanently assembled cells . The introduction of nickel and lithium based batteries in the latter 20th century made the development of innumerable portable electronic devices feasible , from powerful flashlights to mobile phones . Very large stationary batteries find some applications in grid energy storage , helping to stabilize electric power distribution networks . Contents 1 Experiments 2 Invention 3 First practical batteries 3.1 Daniell cell 3.2 Bird 's cell 3.3 Porous pot cell 3.4 Gravity cell 3.5 Poggendorff cell 3.6 Grove cell 3.7 Dun cell 4 Rechargeable batteries and dry cells 4.1 Lead - acid 4.2 Leclanché cell 4.3 Zinc - carbon cell , the first dry cell 4.4 NiCd , the first alkaline battery 5 20th century : new technologies and ubiquity 5.1 Nickel - iron 5.2 Common alkaline batteries 5.3 Nickel - hydrogen and nickel metal - hydride 5.4 Lithium and lithium - ion batteries 6 See also 7 Notes and references Experiments ( edit ) A battery of linked glass capacitors ( Leyden jars ) In 1749 , Benjamin Franklin , the U.S. polymath and founding father , first used the term `` battery '' to describe a set of linked capacitors he used for his experiments with electricity . These capacitors were panels of glass coated with metal on each surface . These capacitors were charged with a static generator and discharged by touching metal to their electrode . Linking them together in a `` battery '' gave a stronger discharge . Originally having the generic meaning of `` a group of two or more similar objects functioning together '' , as in an artillery battery , the term came to be used for voltaic piles and similar devices in which many electrochemical cells were connected together in the manner of Franklin 's capacitors . Today even a single electrochemical cell , e.g. a dry cell , is commonly called a battery . Invention ( edit ) There is a disputed claim for a very early battery , the Baghdad Battery . If it was real , it was soon forgotten . The trough battery , which was in essence a Voltaic Pile laid down to prevent electrolyte leakage In 1780 , Luigi Galvani was dissecting a frog affixed to a brass hook . When he touched its leg with his iron scalpel , the leg twitched . Galvani believed the energy that drove this contraction came from the leg itself , and called it `` animal electricity '' . However , Alessandro Volta , a friend and fellow scientist , disagreed , believing this phenomenon was caused by two different metals joined together by a moist intermediary . He verified this hypothesis through experiment , and published the results in 1791 . In 1800 , Volta invented the first true battery , which came to be known as the voltaic pile . The voltaic pile consisted of pairs of copper and zinc discs piled on top of each other , separated by a layer of cloth or cardboard soaked in brine ( i.e. , the electrolyte ) . Unlike the Leyden jar , the voltaic pile produced a continuous electricity and stable current , and lost little charge over time when not in use , though his early models could not produce a voltage strong enough to produce sparks . He experimented with various metals and found that zinc and silver gave the best results . Volta believed the current was the result of two different materials simply touching each other -- an obsolete scientific theory known as contact tension -- and not the result of chemical reactions . As a consequence , he regarded the corrosion of the zinc plates as an unrelated flaw that could perhaps be fixed by changing the materials somehow . However , no scientist ever succeeded in preventing this corrosion . In fact , it was observed that the corrosion was faster when a higher current was drawn . This suggested that the corrosion was actually integral to the battery 's ability to produce a current . This , in part , led to the rejection of Volta 's contact tension theory in favor of electrochemical theory . Volta 's illustrations of his Crown of Cups and voltaic pile have extra metal disks , now known to be unnecessary , on both the top and bottom . The figure associated with this section , of the zinc - copper voltaic pile , has the modern design , an indication that `` contact tension '' is not the source of electromotive force for the voltaic pile . Volta 's original pile models had some technical flaws , one of them involving the electrolyte leaking and causing short - circuits due to the weight of the discs compressing the brine - soaked cloth . A Scotsman named William Cruickshank solved this problem by laying the elements in a box instead of piling them in a stack . This was known as the trough battery . Volta himself invented a variant that consisted of a chain of cups filled with a salt solution , linked together by metallic arcs dipped into the liquid . This was known as the Crown of Cups . These arcs were made of two different metals ( e.g. , zinc and copper ) soldered together . This model also proved to be more efficient than his original piles , though it did not prove as popular . A zinc - copper voltaic pile Another problem with Volta 's batteries was short battery life ( an hour 's worth at best ) , which was caused by two phenomena . The first was that the current produced electrolysed the electrolyte solution , resulting in a film of hydrogen bubbles forming on the copper , which steadily increased the internal resistance of the battery ( this effect , called polarization , is counteracted in modern cells by additional measures ) . The other was a phenomenon called local action , wherein minute short - circuits would form around impurities in the zinc , causing the zinc to degrade . The latter problem was solved in 1835 by William Sturgeon , who found that amalgamated zinc , whose surface had been treated with some mercury , did n't suffer from local action . Despite its flaws , Volta 's batteries provided a steadier current than Leyden jars , and made possible many new experiments and discoveries , such as the first electrolysis of water by Anthony Carlisle and William Nicholson . First practical batteries ( edit ) Daniell cell ( edit ) Schematic representation of Daniell 's original cell A British chemist named John Frederic Daniell found a way to solve the hydrogen bubble problem in the Voltaic Pile by using a second electrolyte to consume the hydrogen produced by the first . In 1836 he invented the Daniell cell , which consisted of a copper pot filled with a copper sulfate solution , in which was immersed an unglazed earthenware container filled with sulfuric acid and a zinc electrode . The earthenware barrier was porous , which allowed ions to pass through but kept the solutions from mixing . The Daniell cell was a great improvement over the existing technology used in the early days of battery development and was the first practical source of electricity . It provided a longer and more reliable current than the Voltaic cell . It was also safer and less corrosive . It had an operating voltage of roughly 1.1 volts . It soon became the industry standard for use , especially with the new telegraph networks . The Daniell cell was also used as a working standard for definition of the volt , which is the unit of electromotive force . Bird 's cell ( edit ) A version of the Daniell cell was invented in 1837 by the Guy 's hospital physician Golding Bird who used a plaster of Paris barrier to keep the solutions separate . Bird 's experiments with this cell were of some importance to the new discipline of electrometallurgy . Porous pot cell ( edit ) Porous pot cell The porous pot version of the Daniell cell was invented by John Dancer , a Liverpool instrument maker , in 1838 . It consists of a central zinc anode dipped into a porous earthenware pot containing a zinc sulfate solution . The porous pot is , in turn , immersed in a solution of copper sulfate contained in a copper can , which acts as the cell 's cathode . The use of a porous barrier allows ions to pass through but keeps the solutions from mixing . Gravity cell ( edit ) A 1919 illustration of a gravity cell . This particular variant is also known as a crowfoot cell due to distinctive shape of the electrodes In the 1860s , a Frenchman named Callaud invented a variant of the Daniell cell called the gravity cell . This simpler version dispensed with the porous barrier . This reduced the internal resistance of the system and , thus , the battery yielded a stronger current . It quickly became the battery of choice for the American and British telegraph networks , and was used until the 1950s . The gravity cell consisted of a glass jar , in which a copper cathode sat on the bottom and a zinc anode was suspended beneath the rim . Copper sulfate crystals would be scattered around the cathode and then the jar would be filled with distilled water . As the current was drawn , a layer of zinc sulfate solution would form at the top around the anode . This top layer was kept separate from the bottom copper sulfate layer by its lower density and by the polarity of the cell . The zinc sulfate layer was clear in contrast to the deep blue copper sulfate layer , which allowed a technician to measure the battery life with a glance . On the other hand , this setup meant the battery could be used only in a stationary appliance , else the solutions would mix or spill . Another disadvantage was that a current had to be continually drawn to keep the two solutions from mixing by diffusion , so it was unsuitable for intermittent use . Poggendorff cell ( edit ) The German scientist Johann Christian Poggendorff overcame the problems with separating the electrolyte and the depolariser using a porous earthenware pot in 1842 . In the Poggendorff cell , sometimes called Grenet Cell due to the works of Eugene Grenet around 1859 , the electrolyte was dilute sulphuric acid and the depolariser was chromic acid . The two acids were physically mixed together eliminating the porous pot . The positive electrode ( cathode ) was two carbon plates , with a zinc plate ( negative or anode ) positioned between them . Because of the tendency of the acid mixture to react with the zinc , a mechanism was provided to raise the zinc electrode clear of the acids . The cell provided 1.9 volts . It proved popular with experimenters for many years due to its relatively high voltage ; greater ability to produce a consistent current and lack of any fumes , but the relative fragility of its thin glass enclosure and the necessity of having to raise the zinc plate when the cell was not in use eventually saw it fall out of favour . The cell was also known as the ' chromic acid cell ' , but principally as the ' bichromate cell ' . This latter name came from the practice of producing the chromic acid by adding sulphuric acid to potassium dichromate , even though the cell itself contained no dichromate . The Fuller cell was developed from the Poggendorff cell . Although the chemistry was principally the same , the two acids were once again separated by a porous container and the zinc was treated with mercury to form an amalgam . Grove cell ( edit ) The Grove cell was invented by Welshman William Robert Grove in 1839 . It consisted of a zinc anode dipped in sulfuric acid and a platinum cathode dipped in nitric acid , separated by porous earthenware . The Grove cell provided a high current and nearly twice the voltage of the Daniell cell , which made it the favoured cell of the American telegraph networks for a time . However , it gave off poisonous nitric oxide fumes when operated . The voltage also dropped sharply as the charge diminished , which became a liability as telegraph networks grew more complex . Platinum was also very expensive . Dun cell ( edit ) Alfred Dun 1885 , nitro - muriatic acid ( aqua regis ) - Iron & Carbon In the new element there can be used advantageously as exciting - liquid in the first case such solutions as have in a concentrated condition great depolarizing - power , which effect the whole depolarization chemically without necessitating the mechanical expedient of increased carbon surface . It is preferred to use iron as the positive electrode , and as exciting - liquid nitro muriatic acid , ( aqua regis , ) the mixture consisting of muriatic and nitric acids . The nitro - muriatic acid , as explained above , serves for filling both cells . For the carbon - cells it is used strong or very slightly diluted , but for the other cells very diluted , ( about one - twentieth , or at the most one - tenth . ) The element containing in one cell carbon and concentrated nitro - muriatic acid and in the other cell iron and dilute nitro - muriatic acid remains constant for at least twenty hours when employed for electric incandescent lighting . ( p. 80 at Google Books ) Rechargeable batteries and dry cells ( edit ) Lead - acid ( edit ) 19th - century illustration of Planté 's original lead - acid cell Up to this point , all existing batteries would be permanently drained when all their chemical reactions were spent . In 1859 , Gaston Planté invented the lead -- acid battery , the first - ever battery that could be recharged by passing a reverse current through it . A lead acid cell consists of a lead anode and a lead dioxide cathode immersed in sulfuric acid . Both electrodes react with the acid to produce lead sulfate , but the reaction at the lead anode releases electrons whilst the reaction at the lead dioxide consumes them , thus producing a current . These chemical reactions can be reversed by passing a reverse current through the battery , thereby recharging it . Planté 's first model consisted of two lead sheets separated by rubber strips and rolled into a spiral . His batteries were first used to power the lights in train carriages while stopped at a station . In 1881 , Camille Alphonse Faure invented an improved version that consisted of a lead grid lattice into which a lead oxide paste was pressed , forming a plate . Multiple plates could be stacked for greater performance . This design was easier to mass - produce . Compared to other batteries , Planté 's was rather heavy and bulky for the amount of energy it could hold . However , it could produce remarkably large currents in surges . It also had very low internal resistance , meaning that a single battery could be used to power multiple circuits . The lead - acid battery is still used today in automobiles and other applications where weight is not a big factor . The basic principle has not changed since 1859 . In the early 1930s , a gel electrolyte ( instead of a liquid ) produced by adding silica to a charged cell was used in the LT battery of portable vacuum - tube radios . In the 1970s , `` sealed '' versions became common ( commonly known as a `` gel cell '' or `` SLA '' ) , allowing the battery to be used in different positions without failure or leakage . Today cells are classified as `` primary '' if they produce a current only until their chemical reactants are exhausted , and `` secondary '' if the chemical reactions can be reversed by recharging the cell . The lead - acid cell was the first `` secondary '' cell . Leclanché cell ( edit ) A 1912 illustration of a Leclanché cell In 1866 , Georges Leclanché invented a battery that consisted of a zinc anode and a manganese dioxide cathode wrapped in a porous material , dipped in a jar of ammonium chloride solution . The manganese dioxide cathode had a little carbon mixed into it as well , which improved conductivity and absorption . It provided a voltage of 1.4 volts . This cell achieved very quick success in telegraphy , signalling and electric bell work . The dry cell form was used to power early telephones -- usually from an adjacent wooden box affixed to the wall -- before telephones could draw power from the telephone line itself . The Leclanché cell could not provide a sustained current for very long . In lengthy conversations , the battery would run down , rendering the conversation inaudible . This was because certain chemical reactions in the cell increased the internal resistance and , thus , lowered the voltage . These reactions reversed themselves when the battery was left idle , so it was good only for intermittent use . Zinc - carbon cell , the first dry cell ( edit ) Many experimenters tried to immobilize the electrolyte of an electrochemical cell to make it more convenient to use . The Zamboni pile of 1812 was a high - voltage dry battery but capable of delivering only minute currents . Various experiments were made with cellulose , sawdust , spun glass , asbestos fibers , and gelatine . In 1886 , Carl Gassner obtained a German patent on a variant of the Leclanché cell , which came to be known as the dry cell because it did not have a free liquid electrolyte . Instead , the ammonium chloride was mixed with plaster of Paris to create a paste , with a small amount of zinc chloride added in to extend the shelf life . The manganese dioxide cathode was dipped in this paste , and both were sealed in a zinc shell , which also acted as the anode . In November 1887 , he obtained U.S. Patent 373,064 for the same device . Unlike previous wet cells , Gassner 's dry cell was more solid , did not require maintenance , did not spill , and could be used in any orientation . It provided a potential of 1.5 volts . The first mass - produced model was the Columbia dry cell , first marketed by the National Carbon Company in 1896 . The NCC improved Gassner 's model by replacing the plaster of Paris with coiled cardboard , an innovation that left more space for the cathode and made the battery easier to assemble . It was the first convenient battery for the masses and made portable electrical devices practical , and led directly to the invention of the flashlight . The zinc -- carbon battery ( as it came to be known ) is still manufactured today . In parallel , in 1887 Wilhelm Hellesen developed his own dry cell design . It has been claimed that Hellesen 's design preceded that of Gassner . In 1887 , a dry - battery was developed by Yai Sakizō ( 屋井 先 蔵 ) of Japan , then patented in 1892 . In 1893 , Yai Sakizō 's dry - battery was exhibited in World 's Columbian Exposition and commanded considerable international attention . NiCd , the first alkaline battery ( edit ) In 1899 , a Swedish scientist named Waldemar Jungner invented the nickel -- cadmium battery , a rechargeable battery that had nickel and cadmium electrodes in a potassium hydroxide solution ; the first battery to use an alkaline electrolyte . It was commercialized in Sweden in 1910 and reached the United States in 1946 . The first models were robust and had significantly better energy density than lead - acid batteries , but were much more expensive . 20th century : new technologies and ubiquity ( edit ) Nickel - iron ( edit ) Nickel - iron batteries manufactured between 1972 and 1975 under the `` Exide '' brand , originally developed in 1901 by Thomas Edison . A set of modern batteries Jungner had invented a nickel -- iron battery in 1899 , the same year as his Ni - Cad battery , but found it to be inferior to its cadmium counterpart and , as a consequence , never bothered patenting it . It produced a lot more hydrogen gas when being charged , meaning it could not be sealed , and the charging process was less efficient ( it was , however , cheaper ) . However , Thomas Edison picked up Jungner 's nickel - iron battery design , patented it himself and sold it in 1903 . Edison wanted to commercialise a more lightweight and durable substitute for the lead - acid battery that powered some early automobiles , and hoped that by doing so electric cars would become the standard , with his firm as its main battery vendor . However , customers found his first model to be prone to leakage and short battery life , and it did not outperform the lead - acid cell by much either . Although Edison was able to produce a more reliable and powerful model seven years later , by this time the inexpensive and reliable Model T Ford had made gasoline engine cars the standard . Nevertheless , Edison 's battery achieved great success in other applications such as electric and diesel - electric rail vehicles , providing backup power for railroad crossing signals , or to provide power for the lamps used in mines . Common alkaline batteries ( edit ) Until the late 1950s the zinc -- carbon battery continued to be a popular primary cell battery , but its relatively low battery life hampered sales . In 1955 , an engineer named Lewis Urry , working for Union Carbide at the National Carbon Company Parma Research Laboratory , was tasked with finding a way to extend the life of zinc - carbon batteries , but Urry decided instead that alkaline batteries held more promise . Until then , longer - lasting alkaline batteries were unfeasibly expensive . Urry 's battery consisted of a manganese dioxide cathode and a powdered zinc anode with an alkaline electrolyte . Using powdered zinc gave the anode a greater surface area . These batteries hit the market in 1959 . Nickel - hydrogen and nickel metal - hydride ( edit ) The nickel -- hydrogen battery entered the market as an energy - storage subsystem for commercial communication satellites . The first consumer grade nickel -- metal hydride batteries ( NiMH ) for smaller applications appeared on the market in 1989 as a variation of the 1970s nickel -- hydrogen battery . NIMH batteries tend to have longer lifespans than NiCd batteries ( and their lifespans continue to increase as manufacturers experiment with new alloys ) and , since cadmium is toxic , NiMH batteries are less damaging to the environment . Lithium and lithium - ion batteries ( edit ) Lithium Ion Battery Lithium is the metal with lowest density and with the greatest electrochemical potential and energy - to - weight ratio . The low atomic weight and small size of its ions also speeds its diffusion . So theory suggests it would make an ideal material for batteries . Experimentation with lithium batteries began in 1912 under G.N. Lewis , and in the 1970s the first lithium batteries came onto the market . Three volt lithium primary cells such as the CR123A type and three volt button cells are still widely used , especially in cameras and very small devices . Energizer and other brands market 1.5 volt lithium primary cells , with advantages for some applications over alkaline cells . Three important developments marked the 1980s . In 1980 an American chemist , John B. Goodenough , disclosed the LiCoO2 cathode ( positive lead ) and a Moroccan research scientist , Rachid Yazami , discovered the graphite anode ( negative lead ) with the solid electrolyte . In 1981 , Japanese chemists Tokio Yamabe and late Shizukuni Yata discovered a novel nano - carbonacious - PAS ( polyacene , ) and found that it was very effective for the anode in the conventional liquid electrolyte . This led a research team managed by Akira Yoshino of Asahi Chemical , Japan , to build the first lithium - ion battery prototype in 1985 , a rechargeable and more stable version of the lithium battery ; Sony commercialized the lithium - ion battery in 1991 . In 1997 , the lithium polymer battery was released by Sony and Asahi Kasei . These batteries hold their electrolyte in a solid polymer composite instead of in a liquid solvent , and the electrodes and separators are laminated to each other . The latter difference allows the battery to be encased in a flexible wrapping instead of in a rigid metal casing , which means such batteries can be specifically shaped to fit a particular device . This advantage has favored lithium polymer batteries in the design of portable electronic devices such as mobile phones and personal digital assistants , and of radio - controlled aircraft , as such batteries allow for more flexible and compact design . They generally have a lower energy density than normal lithium - ion batteries .

According to the Bible , one of the disciples , Simon Peter , being armed with a sword , cut off the servant 's ear in an attempt to prevent the arrest of Jesus . Simon cutting off Malchus ' ear is related in all four canonical gospels , in Matthew 26 : 51 , Mark 14 : 47 , Luke 22 : 50 - 51 , and John 18 : 10 -- 11 , but Simon and Malchus are named only in the Gospel of John . Also , Luke is the only gospel that says Jesus healed the servant . This was Jesus ' last recorded miracle prior to His resurrection . The relevant passage in the Gospel of John , KJV , reads : 10 Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it , and smote the high priest 's servant , and cut off his right ear . The servant 's name was Malchus . 11 Then said Jesus unto Peter , Put up thy sword into the sheath : the cup which my Father hath given me , shall I not drink it ? -- John 18 : 10 -- 11 Although rejecting biblical inerrancy , James F. McGrath suggests that this account reflects an event that did happen , in that early Christians would hardly have invented a story portraying themselves as violent .

Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( January 2013 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) A transmission medium is a material substance ( solid , liquid , gas , or plasma ) that can propagate energy waves . For example , the transmission medium for sounds is usually a gas , but solids and liquids may also act as a transmission medium for sound . The absence of a material medium in vacuum may also constitute a transmission medium for electromagnetic waves such as light and radio waves . While material substance is not required for electromagnetic waves to propagate , such waves are usually affected by the transmission media they pass through , for instance by absorption or by reflection or refraction at the interfaces between media . The term transmission medium also refers to a technical device that employs the material substance to transmit or guide waves . Thus , an optical fiber or a copper cable is a transmission medium . Not only this but also is able to guide the transmission of networks . A transmission medium can be classified as a : Linear medium , if different waves at any particular point in the medium can be superposed ; Bounded medium , if it is finite in extent , otherwise unbounded medium ; Uniform medium or homogeneous medium , if its physical properties are unchanged at different points ; Isotropic medium , if its physical properties are the same in different directions . Coaxial cable , one example of a transmission medium Electromagnetic radiation can be transmitted through an optical medium , such as optical fiber , or through twisted pair wires , coaxial cable , or dielectric - slab waveguides . It may also pass through any physical material that is transparent to the specific wavelength , such as water , air , glass , or concrete . Sound is , by definition , the vibration of matter , so it requires a physical medium for transmission , as do other kinds of mechanical waves and heat energy . Historically , science incorporated various aether theories to explain the transmission medium . However , it is now known that electromagnetic waves do not require a physical transmission medium , and so can travel through the `` vacuum '' of free space . Regions of the insulative vacuum can become conductive for electrical conduction through the presence of free electrons , holes , or ions . Contents ( hide ) 1 Telecommunications 1.1 Types of transmissions 2 Digital encoding 3 See also 4 References Telecommunications ( edit ) A physical medium in data communications is the transmission path over which a signal propagates . Many transmission media are used as communications channel . For telecommunications purposes in the United States , Federal Standard 1037C , transmission media are classified as one of the following : Guided ( or bounded ) -- waves are guided along a solid medium such as a transmission line . Wireless ( or unguided ) -- transmission and reception are achieved by means of an antenna . One of the most common physical medias used in networking is copper wire . Copper wire to carry signals to long distances using relatively low amounts of power . The unshielded twisted pair ( UTP ) is eight strands of copper wire , organized into four pairs . Another example of a physical medium is optical fiber , which has emerged as the most commonly used transmission medium for long - distance communications . Optical fiber is a thin strand of glass that guides light along its length . Four major factors favor optical fiber over copper - data rates , distance , installation , and costs . Optical fiber can carry huge amounts of data compared to copper . It can be run for hundreds of miles without the need for signal repeaters , in turn , reducing maintenance costs and improving the reliability of the communication system because repeaters are a common source of network failures . Glass is lighter than copper allowing for less need for specialized heavy - lifting equipment when installing long - distance optical fiber . Optical fiber for indoor applications cost approximately a dollar a foot , the same as copper . Multimode and single mode are two types of commonly used optical fiber . Multimode fiber uses LEDs as the light source and can carry signals over shorter distances , about 2 kilometers . Single mode can carry signals over distances of tens of miles . Wireless media may carry surface waves or skywaves , either longitudinally or transversely , and are so classified . In both communications , communication is in the form of electromagnetic waves . With guided transmission media , the waves are guided along a physical path ; examples of guided media include phone lines , twisted pair cables , coaxial cables , and optical fibers . Unguided transmission media are methods that allow the transmission of data without the use of physical means to define the path it takes . Examples of this include microwave , radio or infrared . Unguided media provide a means for transmitting electromagnetic waves but do not guide them ; examples are propagation through air , vacuum and seawater . The term direct link is used to refer to the transmission path between two devices in which signals propagate directly from transmitters to receivers with no intermediate devices , other than amplifiers or repeaters used to increase signal strength . This term can apply to both guided and unguided media . Types of transmissions ( edit ) A transmission may be simplex , half - duplex , or full - duplex . In simplex transmission , signals are transmitted in only one direction ; one station is a transmitter and the other is the receiver . In the half - duplex operation , both stations may transmit , but only one at a time . In full duplex operation , both stations may transmit simultaneously . In the latter case , the medium is carrying signals in both directions at same time . There are two types of transmission media : guided and unguided . Guided Media : Unshielded Twisted Pair ( UTP ) Shielded Twisted Pair ( STP ) Coaxial Cable Optical Fiber hub Unguided Media : Transmission media then looking at analysis of using them unguided transmission media is data signals that flow through the air . They are not guided or bound to a channel to follow . Following are unguided media used for data communication : Radio Transmission Microwave Digital encoding ( edit ) Transmission and reception of data typically is performed in four steps . The data is coded as binary numbers at the sender end A carrier signal is modulated as specified by the binary representation of the data At the receiving end , the incoming signal is demodulated into the respective binary numbers Decoding of the binary numbers is performed See also ( edit ) Vacuum permittivity Transmission ( telecommunications ) Excitable medium Duplex ( telecommunications ) Luminiferous aether References ( edit ) Jump up ^ Agrawal , Manish ( 2010 ) .

The United States Department of the Army , a component of the United States Department of Defense ( DoD ) , controls the cemetery . The national cemetery was established during the Civil War on the grounds of Arlington House , which had been the estate of Confederate general Robert E. Lee 's wife Mary Anna ( Custis ) Lee ( a great - granddaughter of Martha Washington ) . The Cemetery , along with Arlington House , Memorial Drive , the Hemicycle , and the Arlington Memorial Bridge , form the Arlington National Cemetery Historic District , listed on the National Register of Historic Places in April 2014 . In recent years , the Department of the Army has expanded the cemetery onto public lands and restricted bicycle use within the cemetery . Some of these actions have been controversial .

The estate passed to Custis ' daughter , Mary Anna , who had married United States Army officer Robert E. Lee . Custis ' will gave a `` life inheritance '' to Mary Lee , allowing her to live at and run Arlington Estate for the rest of her life but not enabling her to sell any portion of it . Upon her death , the Arlington estate passed to her eldest son , George Washington Custis Lee . When Virginia seceded from the Union after the start of the American Civil War at Fort Sumter , Robert E. Lee resigned his commission on April 20 , 1861 , and took command of the armed forces of the Commonwealth of Virginia , later becoming commander of the Army of Northern Virginia . On May 7 , troops of the Virginia militia occupied Arlington and Arlington House . With Confederate forces occupying Arlington 's high ground , the capital of the Union was left in an untenable military position . Although unwilling to leave Arlington House , Mary Lee believed her estate would soon be recaptured by federal soldiers . So she buried many of her family treasures on the grounds and left for her sister 's estate at Ravensworth in Fairfax County , Virginia , on May 14 . On May 3 , General Winfield Scott ordered Brigadier General Irvin McDowell to clear Arlington and the city of Alexandria , Virginia , of all troops not loyal to the United States . McDowell occupied Arlington without opposition on May 24 . Arlington House At the outbreak of the Civil War , most military personnel who died in battle near Washington , D.C. , were buried at the United States Soldiers ' Cemetery in Washington , D.C. , or Alexandria Cemetery in Alexandria , Virginia , but by late 1863 both were nearly full . On July 16 , 1862 , Congress passed legislation authorizing the U.S. federal government to purchase land for national cemeteries for military dead , and put the U.S. Army Quartermaster General in charge of this program . In May 1864 , Union forces suffered large numbers of dead in the Battle of the Wilderness . Quartermaster General Montgomery C. Meigs ordered that an examination of eligible sites be made for the establishment for a large new national military cemetery . Within weeks , his staff reported that Arlington Estate was the most suitable property in the area . The property was high and free from floods ( which might unearth graves ) , it had a view of the District of Columbia , and it was aesthetically pleasing . It was also the home of the leader of the armed forces of the Confederate States of America , and denying Robert E. Lee use of his home after the war was a valuable political consideration . The first military burial at Arlington , for William Henry Christman , was made on May 13 , 1864 , close to what is now the northeast gate in Section 27 . However , Meigs did not formally authorize establishment of burials until June 15 , 1864 . Arlington did not desegregate its burial practices until President Harry S. Truman issued Executive Order 9981 on July 26 , 1948 . The Old Guard transports the flag - draped casket of the second Sergeant Major of the Army George W. Dunaway who was buried with full military honors at Arlington National Cemetery . The government acquired Arlington at a tax sale in 1864 for $26,800 , equal to $420,000 today . Mrs. Lee had not appeared in person but rather had sent an agent , attempting to pay the $92.07 in property taxes ( equal to $1,400 today ) assessed on the estate in a timely manner . The government turned away her agent , refusing to accept the tendered payment . In 1874 , Custis Lee , heir under his grandfather 's will passing the estate in trust to his mother , sued the United States claiming ownership of Arlington . On December 9 , 1882 , the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5 -- 4 in Lee 's favor in United States v. Lee , deciding that Arlington had been confiscated without due process . After that decision , Congress returned the estate to him , and on March 3 , 1883 , Custis Lee sold it back to the government for $150,000 ( equal to $3,342,727 in 2018 ) at a signing ceremony with Secretary of War Robert Todd Lincoln . The land then became a military reservation . President Herbert Hoover conducted the first national Memorial Day ceremony in Arlington National Cemetery , on May 30 , 1929 . Freedmen 's Village ( edit ) Beginning in 1863 , the federal government used the southern portion of the land now occupied by the cemetery as a settlement for freed slaves , giving the name of `` Freedmen 's Village '' to the land . The government constructed rental houses that 1,100 to 3,000 freed slaves eventually occupied while farming 1,100 acres ( 450 ha ) of the estate and receiving schooling and occupational training during the Civil War and after War ended . However , after the land became part of a military reservation , the government asked the Villagers to leave . When some remained , John A. Commerford , the Superintendent of Arlington National Cemetery , asked the Army 's Quartermaster General in 1887 to close the Village on the grounds that people living in the Village had been taking trees at night from the cemetery for use as firewood . The Quartermaster General and the Secretary of War then approved Commerford 's request . The last of the Village 's residents departed after the 56th United States Congress appropriated $75,000 in 1900 to settle the government 's debts to them . Expansion ( edit ) With limited space but large numbers of World War II , Korean War , Vietnam War , and other veterans dying and wanting to be buried at Arlington , the need for additional burial space at the cemetery became a pressing issue . In 1991 , Cemetery superintendent John C. Metzler , Jr. , implemented a $1.4 million plan to clear a former 13 - acre ( 5.3 ha ) parking lot to create space for about 9,000 new grave sites . The Cemetery received the authority to transfer 12 acres ( 4.9 ha ) of woodland from the NPS - controlled Arlington House in 1996 and 2001 , 37 acres ( 15 ha ) of land in 1999 from the DoD that was the site of the Navy Annex building , 8 acres ( 3.2 ha ) of land in 1999 from the Department of the Army that was part of Fort Myer , 4 acres ( 1.6 ha ) of land from Arlington County 's Southgate Road right - of - way in 2004 , and just under 10 acres ( 4.0 ha ) of land from Fort Myer in 2005 . Gravestones at Arlington National Cemetery are marked by U.S. flags each Memorial Day . In 2007 , Metzler implemented the Millennium Project , a $35 million expansion plan to begin utilizing the Arlington woodland , Fort Myer , and Navy Annex land . The project also included converting 40 acres ( 16 ha ) of unused space and 4 acres ( 16,000 m ) of maintenance property on the cemetery grounds into burial space in 2006 and 2007 to allow an additional 26,000 graves and 5,000 inurnments . The Millennium Project expanded the cemetery 's physical boundaries for the first time since the 1960s , and was the largest expansion of burial space at the site since the American Civil War . Several environmental and historical preservation groups criticized Metzler 's plans , as did the NPS and the manager of Arlington House . On March 26 , 2013 , the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act , 2013 ( Public Law 113 - 6 ) appropriated to the DoD $84 million to plan , design and construct the Millennium Project . The legislation additionally appropriated to the DoD $19 million to study , plan and design a future expansion of the cemetery 's burial space . Navy Annex property expansion controversy ( edit ) In 1998 , a Congressional proposal to expand the cemetery onto land that the Navy Annex and Fort Myer then occupied led to concerns that Arlington County officials had not been properly consulted , leading to the withdrawal of the proposal . However , the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2000 ( Public Law 106 - 65 ) , which was enacted into law during October 1999 , subsequently required the Secretary of Defense to transfer to the Secretary of the Army administrative jurisdiction of the 36 acres ( 15 ha ) Navy Annex property . The Act required the Secretary of Defense to demolish the Annex 's buildings and prepare the property for use as part of the cemetery , while requiring the Secretary of the Army to incorporate the Annex property into the cemetery . In January 2013 , the County Manager of Arlington County , Virginia , and the Executive Director of the Army National Military Cemeteries ( consisting of Arlington National Cemetery and the United States Soldiers ' and Airmen 's Home National Cemetery ) signed a Memorandum of Understanding ( MOU ) between the Arlington County Board and the Department of the Army to expand the cemetery even further . Under the tentative plan , Arlington County would give up the easement for Southgate Road ( which lies between the Navy Annex property and the cemetery 's 2012 boundary ) , and obtain a narrow easement along the southwest border of the Navy Annex site for a new Southgate Road . In exchange , the Department of Defense would give the Navy Annex parking lot to the county . The Army would also transfer land west of South Joyce Street to Columbia Pike to Arlington County . Additionally , the Commonwealth of Virginia would convey to the cemetery roughly the northern half of the Virginia Department of Transportation land bounded by South Joyce Street , Columbia Pike , and South Washington Boulevard . The cloverleaf interchange between Columbia Pike and S. Washington Blvd . would be eliminated , and the hairpin turn in Columbia Pike straightened , to provide a safer , more natural exit from S. Washington Blvd . onto Columbia Pike . Although exact acreages were not specified and the plan depended upon the Commonwealth of Virginia 's cooperation , the MOU if implemented would have created a more contiguous plot of land for the cemetery . However , in December 2016 , the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 ( Public Law 114 - 328 ) authorized the Secretary of the Army to expand the cemetery by acquiring from Arlington County and the Commonwealth of Virginia by condemnation and other means properties near the cemetery that contain the Southgate Road , South Joyce Street and Washington Boulevard right - of - ways , including the Washington Boulvard - Columbia Pike interchange . The Army then informed the Arlington County government in June 2017 that the Army would no longer pursue a land exchange with the County . The Army told the County that the Army would use the entire Navy Annex site to expand the cemetery and would acquire for the cemetery about 5 acres ( 2.0 ha ) of public land that Arlington County then owned . The Army would also acquire for the cemetery expansion about 7 acres ( 2.8 ha ) of land located between Columbia Pike and Interstate 395 that the Commonwealth of Virginia then owned . Arlington Woods expansion controversy ( edit ) A portion of Arlington Woods on Humphreys Drive ( 2013 ) On February 22 , 1995 , officials of the United States Department of the Interior and the United States Department of the Army signed an agreement to transfer from Arlington House , The Robert E. Lee Memorial , to the Army a part of Arlington Woods , which was located in Section 29 of the NPS at Arlington National Cemetery between Arlington House and Fort Myer . The property transfer , which involved 12 acres ( 4.9 ha ) of NPS land , was intended to permit Metzler to start expanding the cemetery beyond its existing boundaries . Environmentalists expressed concerns that the agreement would result in the partial destruction of the 24 - acre ( 9.7 ha ) remnant of a historically important stand of native trees . A historical marker near the woodland notes that , while visiting Arlington House in 1825 , Gilbert du Motier , Marquis de Lafayette had warned Mary Lee Fitzhugh Custis , the wife of George Washington Parke Custis : `` Cherish these forest trees around your mansion . Recollect how much easier it is to cut a tree than to make one grow . '' The marker further notes that the Virginia Native Plant Society had recognized the woodland as being one of the best examples of old growth terraced gravel forest remaining in Virginia . On September 23 , 1996 , the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1997 ( Public Law 104 - 201 ) authorized the Secretary of the Interior to transfer to the Secretary of the Army all of the land in Section 29 that was within an `` Arlington National Cemetery Interment Zone '' and some of the land in the Section that was within a `` Robert E. Lee Memorial Preservation Zone '' . On March 5 , 1998 , the NPS , which is a component of the Department of the Interior , informed the National Capital Planning Commission that it wanted to transfer only 4 acres ( 1.6 ha ) to the cemetery , rather than the 12 acres ( 4.9 ha ) that the 1995 agreement had described . In response , Metzler stated : `` I was surprised . But we will continue to work with the Department of Interior and see what happens . '' On July 12 , 1999 , the NPS issued a Federal Register notice that announced the availability of an environmental assessment ( EA ) for the transfer . The EA stated that the Interment Zone contained the oldest and largest tract of climax eastern hardwood forest in Arlington County . This forest was the same type that once covered the Arlington estate , and had regenerated from trees that were present historically . A forestry study determined that a representative tree was 258 years old . The Interment Zone was also determined to contain significant archeological and cultural landscape resources , in addition to those in the Preservation Zone . The EA described four alternative courses of action . In contrast to the NPS 's March 1998 statement to the National Capital Planning Commission , the 1999 EA stated that the preferred alternative ( Alternative 1 ) would transfer to the cemetery approximately 9.6 acres ( 3.9 ha ) , comprising most of the Interment Zone and the northern tip of the Preservation Zone . Another alternative ( Alternative 3 ) would transfer to the cemetery the 12 acres ( 4.9 ha ) Interment Zone , while keeping the 12.5 acres ( 5.1 ha ) Preservation Zone under NPS jurisdiction . The EA concluded : `` Public Law 104 - 201 directed the Secretary of the Interior to transfer to the Secretary of the Army jurisdiction over the Interment Zone , which is the plan in Alternative 3 . Adoption of any of the other alternatives would require legislative action to amend the existing law . '' Map showing the Millennium Project 's expansion of Arlington National Cemetery into Arlington Woods and Fort Myer . On December 28 , 2001 , the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2002 ( Public Law 107 - 107 ) repealed the `` obsolete '' part of Public Law 104 - 201 that had authorized the transfer of portions of Section 29 to the Secretary of the Army . The new legislation required the Secretary of the Interior to transfer to the Secretary of the Army within 30 days the approximately 12 acres ( 4.9 ha ) Interment Zone . The transfer therefore involved the entire 12 acres ( 4.9 ha ) of NPS land that the 1995 agreement and Alternative 3 in the 1999 EA had described . The 2001 legislation required the Secretary of the Army to use the Interment Zone for in - ground burial sites and columbarium . In addition , the legislation required the Secretary of the Interior to manage the remainder of Section 29 `` in perpetuity to provide a natural setting and visual buffer for Arlington House , the Robert E. Lee Memorial . '' On December 12 , 2012 , the United States Army Corps of Engineers asked for comments on a draft EA that described a further expansion of Arlington National Cemetery as part of the Millennium Project . The 2012 draft EA was intended to implement conversion into burial space of the 17 acres ( 6.9 ha ) of Ft . Myer grounds as well as 10 acres ( 4.0 ha ) of Section 29 woodland . The draft EA described seven alternatives . The preferred alternative ( Alternative E ) called for the removal of about one - half of the 1,700 trees with a diameter of 6 inches ( 15 cm ) or greater on the site . About 640 of the trees were within a 135 - year - old portion of Arlington Woods . The draft EA concluded : `` Based on the evaluation of environmental impacts ... , no significant impacts would be expected from the Proposed Action ; therefore , an Environmental Impact Statement will not be prepared and a Finding of No Significant Impact will be prepared and signed . '' On March 12 , 2013 , the Corps of Engineers released a revised EA for the Millennium Project . The revised EA contained copies of a number of public comments on the draft EA that had criticized the project and parts of the EA while proposing alternative locations for new military burials near the cemetery and elsewhere . However , the Department of Forestry of the Commonwealth of Virginia found that , based on information in the draft EA , the project would not have a significant adverse impact on the Commonwealth 's forest resources . The revised EA did not change the preferred alternative ( Alternative E ) or the Army 's plans to prepare and sign the Finding of No Significant Impact ( FONSI ) that the draft EA had described . On June 5 , 2013 , after reviewing 100 public comments that it had received on the revised EA , the Corps of Engineers released a final EA and a signed FONSI for the Millennium Project . The Final EA and the FONSI retained Alternative E as the preferred alternative . The final EA stated that , of the 905 trees to be removed , 771 trees were healthy native trees that had diameters between 6 and 41 inches . The project would remove approximately 211 trees from a less than 2.63 acres ( 1.06 ha ) area containing a portion of a 145 - year - old forest that stood within the property boundaries of a historic district that a National Register of Historic Places nomination form for Arlington House had described in 1966 . About 491 trees would be removed from an area of trees that was approximately 105 years old . Approximately 203 trees with ages of 50 to 145 years would be removed from a former picnic area . At a public hearing on July 11 , 2013 , the National Capital Planning Commission approved the site and building plans for the Millennium Project . 2010 mismanagement controversy ( edit ) Main article : Arlington National Cemetery mismanagement controversy On June 9 , 2010 , United States Secretary of the Army John M. McHugh reprimanded the cemetery 's superintendent , John C. Metzler , Jr. , and his deputy , Thurman Higgenbotham , after a DOD inspector general 's report revealed that cemetery officials had placed the wrong headstones on tombs , buried coffins in shallow graves , and buried bodies on top of one another . Metzler , who had already announced his intention to retire on July 2 , 2010 , admitted some mistakes had been made but denied allegations of widespread or serious mismanagement . The investigation also found that cemetery employees were burdened in their day - to - day work by `` dysfunctional management , lack of established policy and procedures , and an overall unhealthy organizational climate . '' Both Metzler and Higgenbotham retired soon after the investigation commenced . In March 2011 , as a result of the problems discovered , Kathryn Condon , the recently appointed Executive Director of the Army National Military Cemeteries , announced that the cemetery 's staff had been increased from 102 to 159 . She added that the cemetery was also acquiring additional equipment because , `` They did n't have the proper equipment to do the job really to the standard they needed to do . '' The mismanagement controversy included a limitation on mass media access to funerals , which also proved controversial . Until 2005 , the cemetery 's administration gave free access , with the family 's permission , to the press to cover funerals at the cemetery . According to the Washington Post in 2008 , the cemetery gradually imposed increasing restrictions on media coverage of funerals beginning about 2005 . Management turnover ( edit ) After the cemetery 's management controversy began to end , the Army appointed Patrick K. Hallinan the acting superintendent of the cemetery in June 2010 . He was promoted permanently to the position in October 2010 . Hallinan had previously worked for the Office of Field Programs in the National Cemetery Administration , an agency of the United States Department of Veterans ' Affairs . In that capacity , Hallinan had oversight of 131 national cemeteries , national cemetery policy , procedures , and operations . Hallinan was promoted to Executive Director of the Army National Military Cemeteries upon the retirement of Kathryn Condon in spring 2014 . In May 2014 , Hallinan stepped down and was replaced by Jack E. Lechner , Jr. as superintendent of the cemetery . Lechner had been a funeral director for 10 years in the private sector before joining the U.S. Army . He rose to the rank of colonel ( retiring in November 2011 ) , having spent 2008 to 2010 as chief of the Supply Division of the Joint Chiefs of Staff , overseeing the equipping of Iraqi and Afghanistan national security forces . Since June 2010 , he had served as executive officer and deputy superintendent of the cemetery under Hallinan . The Army removed Lechner as superintendent of the cemetery in early August 2015 after a performance review `` called into question his ability to serve successfully as a senior leader '' . The Army declined to elaborate further and appointed Hallinan to be the temporary Cemetery superintendent until the Army could find a successor . Wreaths Across America ( edit ) Wreaths Across America 2013 at Arlington National Cemetery In 1992 , the Morrill Worcester wreath company in Harrington , Maine , had a surplus at the end of the holiday season . Recalling a boyhood trip to the cemetery , Worcester donated to the cemetery 5,000 wreaths to honor the cemetery 's dead , with the help of volunteers and a local trucking company . After thirteen years of similar donations , in 2005 a photo of snowy gravestones covered with wreaths at the cemetery received widespread circulation on the Internet . Thousands of people called Worcester , wanting to replicate the wreath - laying service at their own veteran cemeteries . In 2006 , over 150 different locations simultaneously held ceremonies with Arlington 's . Additionally , the project had its first `` Veterans Honor Parade '' with `` Patriot Guard Riders '' who escorted the wreaths from Maine to the cemetery . The parade , which is held each year , now visits schools , monuments , veterans ' homes and communities along its route . At the end of 2006 , Worcester 's company supplied wreaths to over 230 state and national cemeteries and veterans monuments across the country . Assisted by veterans and truckers , Worcester established in 2007 a nonprofit organization named `` Wreaths Across America '' . In December 2008 , the United States Senate agreed to a resolution that designated December 13 , 2008 , as `` Wreaths Across America Day '' . In 2014 , volunteers placed over 700,000 memorial wreaths at 1,000 locations in the United States and overseas , including the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor , Bunker Hill , Valley Forge , and the National September 11 Memorial at the World Trade Center site in New York City . During that year , volunteers were able to place wreaths in all sections of the cemetery for the first time . In 2016 , this number increased to 1.2 million wreaths being placed at more than 1,230 cemeteries across the nation . Conflict of interest charges have been made against Wreaths Across America because this charity has an exclusive for - profit supplier , Worcester Wreath Company , also run by the Morrill family in the same town . The charity 's purchases of wreaths from this company account for most of the company 's revenue and profits . In late 2015 , The Wall Street Journal reported serious conflicts of interest with potential malfeasance in governance and contracting . In 2015 alone the Journal reported profits of over $1 million on sales of over 850,000 wreaths to the charity raising concerns about competitive bidding , reporting that several competitors had asked to bid significantly below the price offered by Worcester Wreath Company but were denied access . 150th anniversary ( edit ) During May and June 2014 , the cemetery celebrated the 150th anniversary of its founding with a month - long series of events , tours , and lectures . During these celebrations , cemetery officials formally re-designated the Old Amphitheater as the James Tanner Amphitheater . James R. Tanner was a Union Army officer who lost both legs during the war . He later became a War Department stenographer , and recorded much of the early evidence in the investigation into the assassination of Abraham Lincoln . He later was active in the Grand Army of the Republic , a Union Army veterans group . Tanner is buried a few yards from the amphitheater . Sections ( edit ) Near the top of the steep hill in Section 4 of Arlington National Cemetery , looking north at Section 47 and Section 25 . The Cemetery is divided into 70 sections , with some sections in the southeast and western part of the cemetery reserved for future expansion . Section 60 , in the southeast part of the cemetery , is the burial ground for military personnel killed in the Global War on Terror since 2001 . Section 21 , also known as the Nurses Section , is the area of Arlington National Cemetery where many nurses are buried and is the site of the Spanish -- American War Nurses Memorial and the Nurses Memorial . Another section -- Chaplains Hill -- includes monuments to Jewish , Protestant , and Roman Catholic military chaplains . In 1901 , Confederate soldiers buried at the Soldiers ' Home and various locations within Arlington were reinterred in a Confederate section that was authorized by Congress in 1900 . On June 4 , 1914 , the United Daughters of the Confederacy dedicated the Confederate Memorial designed by Moses Ezekiel . Upon his death in 1917 , Ezekiel was buried at the base of the monument as he was a veteran of the Confederate army . All Confederate headstones in this section are peaked rather than rounded . More than 3,800 former slaves , called `` Contrabands '' during the Civil War , are buried in Section 27 . Their headstones are designated with the word `` Civilian '' or `` Citizen '' . Grave markers , niches , and headstones ( edit ) The United States Department of Veterans Affairs oversees the National Cemetery Administration 's orders for placement of inscriptions and faith emblems at no charge to the estate of the deceased , submitted with information provided by the next of kin that is placed on upright marble headstones or columbarium niche covers . The Department of Veterans Affairs currently offers 63 authorized faith emblems for placement on markers to represent the deceased 's faith . This number has grown in recent years due to legal challenges to policy . Prior to 2007 , the United States Department of Veterans Affairs ( VA ) did not allow the use of the pentacle as an `` emblem of belief '' on tombstones in military cemeteries . This policy was changed following an out - of - court settlement on April 23 following a series of lawsuits by the family of Patrick Stewart against the VA . Between 1947 and 2001 , privately purchased markers were permitted in the cemetery . The sections in which the cemetery permitted such markers are nearly filled and the cemetery generally does not allow new burials in these sections . Nevertheless , the older sections of the cemetery have a wide variety of private markers placed prior to 2001 , including an artillery piece . There are 32 Commonwealth war dead burials and some headstones are Commonwealth War Graves Commission style . Arlington Memorial Amphitheater ( edit ) Main article : Arlington Memorial Amphitheater The interior of Memorial Amphitheater The Tomb of the Unknowns is part of the Arlington Memorial Amphitheater . The Memorial Amphitheater has hosted state funerals and Memorial Day and Veterans Day ceremonies . Ceremonies are also held for Easter . About 5,000 people attend these holiday ceremonies each year . The structure is mostly built of Imperial Danby marble from Vermont . The Memorial Display room , between the amphitheater and the Tomb of the Unknowns , uses Botticino stone , imported from Italy . The amphitheater was the result of a campaign by Ivory Kimball to construct a place to honor America 's servicemen / women . Congress authorized the structure on March 4 , 1913 . Woodrow Wilson laid the cornerstone for the building on October 15 , 1915 . The cornerstone contained 15 items including a Bible and a copy of the Constitution . Before the Arlington Memorial Amphitheater was completed in 1921 , important ceremonies were held at what is now known as the `` Old Amphitheater . '' This structure sits where Robert E. Lee once had his gardens . The amphitheater was built in 1868 under the direction of Civil War General John A. Logan . Gen. James A. Garfield was the featured speaker at the Decoration Day dedication ceremony , May 30 , 1868 , later being elected as President of the United States 1881 . The amphitheater has an encircling colonnade with a latticed roof that once supported a web of vines . The amphitheater has a marble dais , known as `` the rostrum '' , which is inscribed with the U.S. national motto found on the Great Seal of the United States , E pluribus unum ( `` Out of many , one '' ) . The rostrum was designed by General Montgomery C. Meigs , then Quartermaster General of the U.S. Army . The amphitheater seats 1,500 people and has hosted speakers such as William Jennings Bryan . Memorials ( edit ) Main article : List of memorials and monuments at Arlington National Cemetery Tomb of the Unknowns ( edit ) Main article : Tomb of the Unknowns The Tomb of the Unknowns with guards The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier stands on top of a hill overlooking Washington , D.C. One of the more well - attended sites at the cemetery , the tomb is made from Yule marble quarried in Colorado . It consists of seven pieces , with a total weight of 79 short tons ( 72 metric tons ) . The tomb was completed and opened to the public April 9 , 1932 , at a cost of $48,000 . It was initially named the `` Tomb of the Unknown Soldier . '' Other unknown servicemen were later entombed there , and it became known as the `` Tomb of the Unknowns '' , though it has never been officially named . The soldiers entombed there are : Unknown Soldier of World War I , interred November 11 , 1921 ; President Warren G. Harding presided Unknown Soldier of World War II , interred May 30 , 1958 ; President Dwight D. Eisenhower presided Unknown Soldier of the Korean War , also interred May 30 , 1958 ; President Dwight Eisenhower presided again , Vice President Richard Nixon acted as next of kin Unknown Soldier of the Vietnam War , interred May 28 , 1984 ; President Ronald Reagan presided . The remains of the Vietnam Unknown were disinterred , under the authority of President Bill Clinton , on May 14 , 1998 , and were identified as those of Air Force 1st Lt. Michael J. Blassie , whose family had them reinterred near their home in St. Louis , Missouri . It has been determined that the crypt at the Tomb of the Unknowns that contained the remains of the Vietnam Unknown will remain empty . The Tomb of the Unknowns has been perpetually guarded since July 2 , 1937 , by the U.S. Army . The 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment ( `` The Old Guard '' ) began guarding the Tomb on April 6 , 1948 . There is a meticulous routine that the guard follows when watching over the graves . The Tomb Guard : Marches 21 steps down the black mat behind the Tomb Turns , faces east for 21 seconds Turns and faces north for 21 seconds Takes 21 steps down the mat Repeats the routine until the soldier is relieved of duty at the changing of the guard After each turn , the Guard executes a sharp `` shoulder - arms '' movement to place the weapon on the shoulder closest to the visitors to signify that the Guard stands between the Tomb and any possible threat . Twenty - one was chosen because it symbolizes the highest military honor that can be bestowed -- the 21 - gun salute . Each turn the guard makes precise movements and followed by a loud click of the heels as he snaps them together . The guard is changed every half - hour during daylight in the summer , and every hour during daylight in the winter and every two hours at night ( when the cemetery is closed to the public ) , regardless of weather conditions . Arlington Amphitheater 1922 issue A commemorative stamp was issued on November 11 , 1922 , the first anniversary of the first entombment picturing the Amphitheater . It encompasses the original Tomb of the Unknown Soldier . The remains of an unidentified WW I American soldier was entombed on Armistice Day , November 11 , 1921 , later covered in 1931 by a more elaborate marble sarcophagus . Other memorials ( edit ) The Maine Mast Memorial There are several memorials on the grounds of the cemetery . However , due to the lack of space for burials and the large amount of space that memorials take up , the U.S. Army now requires a joint or concurrent resolution from Congress before it will place new memorials at Arlington . Near the Tomb of the Unknowns stands the USS Maine Mast Memorial , which commemorates the 266 men who lost their lives aboard the USS Maine . The memorial is built around a mast salvaged from the Maine 's wreckage . The USS Maine Memorial served as the temporary resting place for foreign heads of state or government , Manuel L. Quezon of the Philippines and Ignacy Jan Paderewski of Poland , who died in exile in the United States during World War II . The Space Shuttle Challenger Memorial was dedicated on May 20 , 1986 , in memory of the crew of flight STS - 51 - L , who died during launch on January 28 , 1986 . Transcribed on the back of the stone is the text of the John Gillespie Magee , Jr. poem High Flight , which was quoted by then President Ronald Reagan when he addressed the disaster . Although many remains were identified and returned to the families for private burial , some were not , and were laid to rest under the marker . Two crew members , Scobee and Smith , are buried in Arlington . On February 1 , 2004 , NASA Administrator Sean O'Keefe dedicated a similar memorial to those who died when the Shuttle Columbia broke apart during reentry on February 1 , 2003 . Astronauts Laurel Clark , David Brown and Michael Anderson , who were killed in the Columbia disaster , are also buried in Arlington . The Lockerbie Cairn is a memorial to the 270 killed in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie , Scotland . The memorial is constructed of 270 stones , one for each person killed in the disaster . In section 64 , a memorial to the 184 victims of the September 11 attacks on the Pentagon was dedicated September 11 , 2001 . The memorial takes the shape of a pentagon , and lists the names of all the victims that were killed . Unidentified remains from the victims are buried beneath it . On June 25 , 1925 , President Calvin Coolidge approved a request to erect a Commonwealth Cross of Sacrifice with the names of all the citizens of the USA who lost their lives fighting in the Canadian forces during World War I . The monument was dedicated November 11 , 1927 and after the Korean War and World War II the names of US citizens who died in those conflicts were added . The Women in Military Service for America Memorial is adjacent to the Ceremonial Entrance to the cemetery . The Laos Memorial , or Lao Veterans of America memorial , dedicated to Lao and Hmong veterans who served with US Special Forces and CIA advisors during the Vietnam War , to defend the Royal Kingdom of Laos from the North Vietnamese invasion of Laos by selling opium to the CIA in exchange for weapons and promises for their own country , is located on Grant Avenue near the eternal flame memorial to U.S. President John F. Kennedy . In 2012 , legislation began moving through Congress to approve a `` Place of Remembrance '' at the cemetery . The memorial will be an ossuary designed to contain fragments of remains which are unidentifiable through DNA analysis . The remains will be cremated before placement in the memorial . Burial procedures ( edit ) Arlington House flag flying at half - staff . The flag is lowered during interments . The flags in the cemetery are flown at half - staff from a half - hour before the first funeral until a half hour after the last funeral each day . Funerals are normally conducted five days a week , excluding weekends . Funerals , including interments and inurnments , average between 27 -- 30 per day . The Cemetery conducts approximately 6,900 burials each year . With more than 400,000 interments , the cemetery has the second - largest number of burials of any national cemetery in the United States . The largest of the 130 national cemeteries is the Calverton National Cemetery , on Long Island , near Riverhead , New York , which conducts more than 7,000 burials each year . Military funeral procession in Arlington National Cemetery , July 1967 In addition to in - ground burial , the cemetery also has one of the larger columbaria for cremated remains in the country . Four courts are currently in use , each with 5,000 niches . When construction is complete , there will be nine courts with a total of 50,000 niches ; capacity for 100,000 remains . Any honorably discharged veteran is eligible for inurnment in the columbarium , if s / he served on active duty at some point in her / his career ( other than for training ) . Burial criteria ( edit ) Part 553 ( Army National Military Cemeteries ) of Title 32 of the Code of Federal Regulations ( CFR ) establishes regulations for the cemetery , including eligibility for interment ( ground burial ) and inurnment . Due to limited space , the criteria for ground burial eligibility are more restrictive than at other national cemeteries , as well as more restrictive than for inurnment in the columbarium . The persons specified below are eligible for ground burial in the cemetery , unless otherwise prohibited . The last period of active duty of former members of the armed forces must have ended honorably . Interment may be of casketed or cremated remains . Any active - duty member of the armed forces ( except those members serving on active duty for training only ) Any veteran who is retired and eligible for retirement pay from service in the armed forces ( including service members retired from a reserve component who served a period of active duty ( other than for training ) ) Any former member of the armed forces separated honorably prior to October 1 , 1949 , for medical reasons and who was rated at 30 % or greater disabled effective on the day of discharge Any former member of the armed forces who has been awarded one of the following decorations : Medal of Honor Distinguished Service Cross , Navy Cross , or Air Force Cross Silver Star Purple Heart Any former member of the armed forces who served on active duty ( other than for training ) and who held any of the following positions : An elective office of the U.S. Government ( such as a term in Congress ) Office of the Chief Justice of the United States or of an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States An office listed , at the time the person held the position , in 5 USC 5312 or 5313 ( Levels I and II of the Executive Schedule ) The chief of a mission who was at any time during his / her tenure classified in Class I under the provisions of Section 411 , Act of August 13 , 1946 , 60 Stat. 1002 , as amended ( 22 USC 866 ) or as listed in State Department memorandum dated March 21 , 1988 Any former prisoner of war who , while a prisoner of war , served honorably in the active military , naval , or air service , whose last period of military , naval or air service terminated honorably and who died on or after November 30 , 1993 The spouse , widow or widower , minor child , or permanently dependent child , and certain unmarried adult children of any of the above eligible veterans Respectful silence is requested at the Arlington National Cemetery . The widow or widower of : a member of the armed forces who was lost or buried at sea or fell out of a plane or officially determined to be permanently absent with a status of either missing or missing in action a member of the armed forces who is interred in a US military cemetery overseas that is maintained by the American Battle Monuments Commission The spouse , minor child , or permanently dependent child of any person already buried in Arlington National Cemetery The parents of a minor child , or permanently dependent child whose remains , based on the eligibility of a parent , are already buried at Arlington . A spouse divorced from the primary eligible , or widowed and remarried , is not eligible for interment Provided certain conditions are met , a former member of the armed forces may be buried in the same grave with a close relative who is already buried and is the primary eligible Inurnment criteria for columbarium ( edit ) Due at least partly to the lack of space at the cemetery for ground burial , standards for inurnment ( burial of cremated remains ) in the columbarium are currently much less restrictive than for ground burial at the cemetery . In general , any former member of the armed forces who served on active duty ( other than for training ) and whose last service terminated honorably is eligible for inurnment . Eligibility for inurnment is described fully in 32 C.F.R. § 553.15 a . Prohibitions against Interment or memorialization ( edit ) Congress has from time to time created prohibited categories of persons that , even if otherwise eligible for burial , lose that eligibility . One such prohibition is against certain persons who are convicted of committing certain state or federal capital crimes , as defined in 38 U.S. Code § 2411 . Capital crime is a specifically defined term in the statute , and for state offenses can include offenses that are eligible for a life sentence ( with or without parole ) . The reasoning for this provision originally was to prevent Timothy McVeigh from being eligible at Arlington National Cemetery , but it has since been amended to prevent others . Also prohibited under the same statute are those determined , with clear and convincing evidence , to have avoided such conviction by death or flight . Notable burials ( edit ) Main article : List of people buried at Arlington National Cemetery The grave marker of former US President John F. Kennedy The first soldier to be buried in Arlington was Private William Henry Christman of Pennsylvania on May 13 , 1864 . There are 396 Medal of Honor recipients buried in Arlington National Cemetery , nine of whom are Canadian . Five state funerals have been held at Arlington : those of Presidents William Howard Taft and John F. Kennedy , his two brothers , Senator Robert F. Kennedy and Senator Edward `` Ted '' Kennedy , and General of the Armies John J. Pershing . Whether or not they were wartime service members , U.S. presidents are eligible to be buried at Arlington , since they oversaw the armed forces as commanders - in - chief . Among the most frequently visited sites in the cemetery is the grave of President John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis , who is buried nearby along with their son Patrick and their stillborn daughter Arabella . Kennedy 's remains were interred there on March 14 , 1967 , a reinterment from his original Arlington burial site , some 20 feet ( 6.1 m ) away , where he was buried in November 1963 . The grave is marked with an `` eternal flame '' . The remains of his brothers , Senator Robert F. Kennedy and Senator Edward M. `` Ted '' Kennedy , are buried nearby . The latter two graves are marked with simple crosses and footstones . On December 1 , 1971 , Robert Kennedy 's body was re-interred 100 feet ( 30 m ) from its original June 1968 burial site . Two of the astronauts who were killed in January 27 , 1967 flash fire inside the Apollo 1 Command Module , Gus Grissom and Roger Chaffee , are buried at the cemetery . John Glenn , the first American to orbit Earth and a longtime U.S. Senator from Ohio , was buried at the cemetery in April 2017 . British Diplomat and Field Marshal Sir John Dill was buried at the cemetery when he died in Washington D.C. during World War II . He became the first non-american to be buried at this cemetery . The equestrian statue on Dill 's grave is one of only two such statues at the cemetery ; the other is Major General Philip Kearny 's . Visitor requirements ( edit ) President Donald Trump participates in the Memorial Day Ceremony The cemetery has within recent years announced policies and procedures that limit visitor access to the cemetery 's grounds . The Cemetery 's executive director has stated that some of these may create delays for visitors . Some have become controversial . Bicycle use policy ( edit ) On August 6 , 2013 , Patrick Hallinan , Executive Director , Army National Military Cemeteries , issued an official memorandum that contained the cemetery 's then - current bicycle use policy . The memorandum permitted cyclists to travel in only one direction on only one route unless otherwise authorized by the executive director . This `` White Line '' route traveled from the Old Post Chapel gate at Joint Base Myer -- Henderson Hall towards the main entrance of the cemetery at Memorial Avenue , using Meigs Drive , Sherman Drive and Schley Drive . The memorandum stated without explanation : `` Bicycle traffic will not be permitted to travel in the reverse direction . '' Cyclists could only use this route between 8 : 00 a.m. and 6 : 45 p.m. from April 1 to September 30 and between 8 : 00 a.m. and 4 : 45 p.m. from October 1 to March 31 . Cyclists had to wear bicycle helmets that certain designated organizations had approved . Bicycles had to be equipped with headlights , tail lights or red reflectors in lieu of tail lights , regardless of the time of travel . On May 11 , 2016 , the Department of the Army published in the Federal Register a proposed rule that would , among other things , prohibit a visitor to an Army National Military Cemetery ( Arlington National Cemetery and the United States Soldiers ' and Airmen 's Home National Cemetery ) from riding a bicycle without first acquiring a pass to visit a relative 's gravesite or columbarium niche . After receiving 13 comments from 13 individuals concerning the use of bicycles in the cemetery ( including comments from representatives of the Arlington County Board and local bicycle advocacy groups that opposed the new restrictions ) , the Department of the Army published a final rule in the Federal Register on September 26 , 2016 , that implemented the proposed rule , effective October 26 , 2016 . In accordance with the final rule , the cemetery issued a new bicycle use policy , effective October 26 , 2016 . The policy stated that bicycling would no longer be allowed on Cemetery grounds without a family pass . The policy further stated that `` bicyclists traversing the cemetery grounds do impact funeral services and the experience that families expect and deserve as they visit their loved one 's grave ... As there are no bike paths on the cemetery grounds , mixing cyclists with pedestrians and vehicles creates a safety hazard . '' Security procedures ( edit ) In September 2016 , Hallinan announced that the cemetery was increasing security measures for its visitors . In addition to random identification checks and other security measures already in place , the cemetery will require pedestrians to enter at set access points : the main entrance on Memorial Avenue , the Ord and Weitzel gate , and the Old Post Chapel gate at Joint Base Myer - Henderson Hall . Before entering the cemetery through its main entrance , all pedestrians will be screened through the cemetery 's Welcome Center . All vehicle access will require presenting valid , government - issued photo identification , such as a driver 's license or passport , when entering the cemetery . Vehicles will also be subject to random inspections . Hallinan stated that these processes may result in delays when entering the cemetery .

The Millennium expansion has involved , among other things , the sensitive transfer of 12 acres within the cemetery from the National Park Service 's historic Arlington House , the onetime home of Robert E. Lee . The Park Service has lamented the likely loss of woodland and the cemetery 's encroachment on the majestic hilltop home , which dates to 1802 . The project , which focuses on the northwest edge of the cemetery , includes expansion into about 10 acres taken from the Army 's adjacent Fort Myer and four acres of cemetery maintenance property inside the boundaries , officials said . The extra space would provide room for 14,000 ground burials and 22,000 inurnments in a large columbarium complex , officials said . The project comes on the heels of extensive work underway to utilize 40 acres of unused space in the cemetery , creating room for 26,000 more graves and 5,000 inurnments .

A congressional proposal to expand Arlington National Cemetery onto land now occupied by the Navy Annex and Fort Myer has been at least temporarily put on hold , but officials predicted that in the long term , at least some of the property may be turned into grave sites . Members of a House -- Senate conference committee said yesterday they have agreed to remove language from a Defense Department appropriations bill that would have transferred the land to the cemetery , which is approaching full capacity . ( Bob ) Stump 's proposal , attached to a bill that cleared the House earlier this summer , would have transferred 36.5 acres from the Navy Annex and eight acres from Fort Myer to Arlington Cemetery . The move would create sufficient burial sites to last until 2040 , officials said . The proposal has sparked anxiety in Arlington County , where community leaders complained that they had not been consulted about such a major decision .

"At the outbreak of the Civil War, most military personnel who died in battle near Washington, D.C., were buried at the United States Soldiers' Cemetery in Washington, D.C., or Alexandria Cemetery in Alexandria, Virginia, but by late 1863 both were nearly full.[12] On July 16, 1862, Congress passed legislation authorizing the U.S. federal government to purchase land for national cemeteries for military dead, and put the U.S. Army Quartermaster General in charge of this program.[12] In May 1864, Union forces suffered large numbers of dead in the Battle of the Wilderness. Quartermaster General Montgomery C. Meigs ordered that an examination of eligible sites be made for the establishment for a large new national military cemetery. Within weeks, his staff reported that Arlington Estate was the most suitable property in the area.[12] The property was high and free from floods (which might unearth graves), it had a view of the District of Columbia, and it was aesthetically pleasing. It was also the home of the leader of the armed forces of the Confederate States of America, and denying Robert E. Lee use of his home after the war was a valuable political consideration.[13] The first military burial at Arlington, for William Henry Christman, was made on May 13, 1864,[14] close to what is now the northeast gate in Section 27.[15] However, Meigs did not formally authorize establishment of burials until June 15, 1864.[16] Arlington did not desegregate its burial practices until President Harry S. Truman issued Executive Order 9981 on July 26, 1948.[17]\n"

Communist Party of Canada Parti communiste du Canada Active party Central Leader Elizabeth Rowley Founded May 1921 ( 1921 - 05 ) Headquarters Toronto , Ontario Youth wing Young Communist League ( ideologically aligned , but organizationally autonomous ) Ideology Communism Marxism -- Leninism Political position Far - left International affiliation Comintern ( 1921 -- 1943 ) , International Meeting of Communist and Workers ' Parties Colours Red Website www.communist-party.ca Politics of Canada Political parties Elections The Communist Party of Canada ( French : Parti communiste du Canada , CPC / PCC ) is a communist political party in Canada founded in 1921 under conditions of illegality . Although it is now a political party without any elected political representation , the party 's candidates have been elected to the Parliament of Canada , the Ontario legislature , the Manitoba legislature , and various municipal governments across the country . The party has also contributed significantly to trade union organizing and labour history in Canada , peace and anti-war activism , and many other social movements . The Communist Party of Canada is the second oldest active party after the Liberal Party of Canada ( or the third if the Liberal - Conservative Party is considered the ancestor of the modern Conservative Party ) . In 1993 the party was de-registered and had its assets seized , forcing it to begin a successful thirteen - year political and legal battle to maintain registration of small political parties in Canada . The campaign culminated with the final decision of Figueroa v. Canada , changing the legal definition of a political party in Canada . Despite its continued presence as a registered political party , the CPC places the vast majority of its emphasis on extra-parliamentary activity what it terms `` the labour and people 's movements '' , as reflected in its programme `` Canada 's Future is Socialism '' .

Many of its founding members had worked as labour organizers and as anti-war activists and had belonged to groups such as the Socialist Party of Canada , One Big Union , the Socialist Labor Party , the Industrial Workers of the World , and other socialist , Marxist , or Labour parties or clubs and organizations . The first members felt inspired by the Russian Revolution , and radicalised by the negative aftermath of World War I and the fight to improve living standards and labour rights , including the experience of the Winnipeg General Strike . The Comintern accepted the party affiliation as its Canadian section in December 1921 , and thus it adopted a similar organizational structure and policy to Communist parties around the world . The party alternated between legality and illegality during the 1920s and 1930s . Because of the War Measures Act in effect at its time of creation , the party operated as the `` Workers ' Party of Canada '' in February , 1922 as its public face , and in March began publication of a newspaper , The Worker . When Parliament allowed the War Measures Act to lapse in 1924 , the underground organization was dissolved and the party 's name was changed to the Communist Party of Canada . The party 's first actions included establishing a youth organization , the Young Communist League of Canada , and solidarity efforts with the Soviet Union . By 1923 the party had raised over $64,000 for the Russian Red Cross , a very large sum of money at that time . It also initiated a Canadian component of the Trade Union Educational League ( TUEL ) which quickly became an organic part of the labour movement with active groups in 16 of 60 labour councils and in mining and logging camps . By 1925 party membership stood at around 4,500 people , composed mainly of miners and lumber workers , and of railway , farm , and garment workers . Most of these people came from immigrant communities like Finns and Ukrainians . The party , working with the TUEL , played a role in many bitter strikes and difficult organizing drives , and in support of militant industrial unionism . From 1922 to 1929 , the provincial wings of the WPC / CPC also affiliated with the Canadian Labour Party , another expression of the CPC 's `` united front '' strategy . The CLP operated as a federated labour party . The CPC came to lead the CLP organization in several regions of the country , including Quebec , and did not run candidates during elections . In 1925 William Kolisnyk became the first communist elected to public office in North America , under the banner of the CLP in Winnipeg . The CLP itself , however , never became an effective national organization . The Communists withdrew from the CLP in 1928 - 1929 following a shift in Comintern policy , as the organization folded . Debates , arguments and expulsions ( edit ) From 1927 to 1929 , the party went through a series of policy debates and internal ideological struggles in which the advocates of the ideas of Leon Trotsky and of proponents of the theory of what the party called `` North American Exceptionism '' were expelled . Expellees included Maurice Spector , the editor of the party 's paper The Worker and party chairman , and Jack MacDonald ( who had supported Spector 's expulsion ) who resigned as the party 's general secretary for factionalism , and was expelled . The Secretary of the Women 's Bureau and later , general editor of the Woman Worker ( 1926 - 1929 ) Florence Custance was only saved from expulsion from the Party due to her untimely death in 1929 . Her feminism and advocacy of birth control , for example , were well - known to the mainstream press , but her radical contemporaries questioned her political sympathies and gave her few chances to shine . Strikers of the On - to - Ottawa Trek Bethune in China MacDonald , also sympathetic to Trotskyist ideas , joined Spector in founding the International Left Opposition ( Trotskyist ) Canada , which formed part of Trotsky 's so - called Fourth International Left Opposition . The party also expelled supporters of Nikolai Bukharin and of Jay Lovestone 's Right Opposition , such as William Moriarty . The communists disagreed over strategy , tactics , the socialist identity of the Soviet Union , and over Canada 's status as an imperialist power . While some communists like J.B. Salsberg expressed sympathy with these positions , after debates that dominated party conventions for a couple of years by the early 1930s , the vast majority of members had decided to continue with the party . Tim Buck won election as party general secretary in 1929 . He remained in the position until 1962 . Great depression ( edit ) The stock market crash in late 1929 signalled the beginning of a long and protracted economic crisis in Canada and internationally . The crisis quickly led to widespread unemployment , poverty , destitution , and suffering among working families and farmers . The general election of 1930 , brought to power the R.B. Bennett Conservative government who attacked the labour movement and established `` relief camps '' for young unemployed men . The CPC was the only party to make a systemic critique of the depression as an alleged crisis of capitalism . It was also the first political party in Canada to call for the introduction of unemployment insurance , a national health insurance scheme , making education universally accessible , social and employment assistance to youth , labour legislation including health and safety regulations , regulation of the working day and holidays , a minimum wage for women and youth , and state - run crop insurance and price control for farmers . In 1931 , eight of the CPC 's leaders were arrested and imprisoned under Section 98 of Canada 's Criminal Code , which outlawed advocacy of force or violence to bring about political change . The party continued to exist , but was under the constant threat of legal harassment , and was for all intents and purposes an underground organization . In 1934 a massive campaign pushed back the police 's practice which supporters characterized as repression , and the communists were released . On the release of Tim Buck , the party held a mass rally attended by an overflow crowd of over 17,000 supporters and sympathizers in Maple Leaf Gardens . Although the party was banned , it organized large mass organizations such as the Workers ' Unity League ( WUL ) , and the Canadian Labour Defence League that played an important role in historic strikes like that of miners in Estevan . From 1933 to 1936 , the WUL led 90 per cent of the strikes in Canada . Already , conditions had taught social democrats , reformists , and the communists important lessons of cooperation . In 1934 , in accordance with the re-examined position of the Comintern , the CPC adopted a strategy and tactics based on a united front against fascism . In the prairies , the Communists organized the Farmers Unity League which mobilized against evictions and rallied hundreds of farmers into protest Hunger Marches , despite police brutality . Party members were also active in the Congress of Industrial Organizations ' attempt to unionize the auto and other industrial sectors including Steelworkers , the Canadian Seaman 's Union , the Mine , Mill and Smelter Workers Union , the International Woodworkers of America , and the United Electrical , Radio and Machine Workers of America . Among the poor and unemployed , Communists organized groups like the left - wing Workers Sports Association , one of the few ways that working - class youth had access to recreational programmes . The Relief Camp Workers ' Union and the National Unemployed Workers Association played significant roles in organizing the unskilled and the unemployed in protest marches and demonstrations and campaigns such as the `` On - to - Ottawa Trek '' and the 1938 Vancouver Post Office sit - down strike . Internationally , the party initiated the mobilization of the over 1,500 person Mackenzie - Papineau Battalion to fight in the Spanish Civil War as part of the International Brigade . Among the leading Canadian Communists involved in that effort was Dr. Norman Bethune , who is known for his invention of a mobile blood - transfusion unit , early advocacy of Medicare in Canada , and work with the Communist Party of China during the Second Sino - Japanese War . Solidarity efforts for the Spanish Civil War and many labour and social struggles during the Depression resulted in much cooperation between members of the CPC and the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation ( CCF ) . After 1935 the CPC advocated electoral alliances and unity with the CCF on key issues . The proposal was debated in the CCF , with the 1936 BC , Alberta and Saskatchewan conventions generally supporting cooperation while the Ontario convention opposed . While the motion was defeated at that Parties third federal convention , the Communists continued to call for a united front . The call was particularly urgent in Quebec , where in 1937 the Duplessis government passed `` an act to protect Québec against communist propaganda '' giving the police the power to padlock any premises used by `` communists '' ( which was undefined in the legislation ) . World War II ( edit ) Communist Labour and Total War Committee meeting , with Tim Buck Although the Communist Party had worked hard to warn Canadians about what it considered to be a growing fascist danger , after some debate the Party saw the opening of World War II not as an anti-fascist war but a battle between capitalist nations . Most likely this conclusion was supported by the policies of the big powers . Many voices in the British establishment , for example , called loudly for support of Adolf Hitler against the USSR . Meanwhile , having failed in reaching agreement with Britain and other world powers , the USSR signed the Molotov - Ribbentrop Pact with Nazi Germany , to bide time before an inevitable war between the two . The Communist Party 's opposition to World War II led to it being banned under the Defence of Canada Regulations of the War Measures Act in 1940 shortly after Canada entered into the war . In many cases Communist leaders were interned in camps , long before fascists . As growing numbers of Communist Party leaders were interned , some members went underground or exile in the United States . Conditions in the camps were harsh . A civil rights campaign was launched by the wives of many of the interned men for family visits and their release . With Germany 's 1941 invasion of the USSR and the collapse of the Molotov - Ribbentrop Pact the party argued that the nature of the war had changed to a genuine anti-fascist struggle . The CPC reversed its opposition to the war and argued the danger to the working class on the international level superseded its interests nationally . During the Conscription Crisis of 1944 , the banned CPC set up `` Tim Buck Plebiscite Committees '' across the country to campaign for a `` yes '' vote in the national referendum on conscription . Following the vote , the committees were renamed the Dominion Communist - Labor Total War Committee and urged full support for the war effort , a no - strike pledge for the duration of the war and increased industrial production . The National Council for Democratic Rights was also established with A.E. Smith as chair in order to rally for the legalization of the Communist Party and the release of Communists and anti-fascists from internment . The party 's first elected Member of Parliament ( MP ) was Dorise Nielsen . Nielsen was elected in North Battleford , Saskatchewan in 1940 under the popular front Progressive Unity label , with the support of many individual CCFers . Nielsen kept her membership in the party a secret until 1943 . Labor - Progressive party and the Cold War ( edit ) Main article : Labor - Progressive Party Fred Rose re-election poster The Communist Party remained banned , but with the entry of the Soviet Union into the war and the eventual release of the Canadian party 's interned leaders , Canadian Communists founded the Labor - Progressive Party ( LPP ) in 1943 as a legal front and thereafter ran candidates under that name until 1959 . At its height in the mid-1940s , the party had fourteen sitting elected officials at the federal , provincial and municipal level . Several prominent elected party members were : Dorise Nielsen , a Saskatchewan MP elected as a Unity candidate in 1940 , declared her affiliation with the LPP when it was formed in August 1943 and ran unsuccessfully for re-election as an LPP candidate . Fred Rose was elected to represent a Montreal riding in the House of Commons of Canada as an LPP MP , and was removed from office after being convicted of spying for the Soviet Union . Mary Kardash and William Ross were LPP and then Communist school trustees in Winnipeg Jacob Penner and Joseph Zuken were popular aldermen in Winnipeg . Zuken was an LPP school trustee before succeeding Penner on city council by which time the LPP had changed its name back to the Communist Party . Bill Kardash and James Litterick were Manitoba LPP Members of the Legislative Assembly ( MLAs ) . A.A. MacLeod and J.B. Salsberg were LPP members of the Ontario legislature . Stanley Bréhaut Ryerson , Sam Carr , Charles Simms and Norman Freed were LPP Toronto aldermen while Stewart Smith was elected to the city 's Board of Control , Edna Ryerson , Elizabeth Morton and John Boyd were elected to the School Board in 1944 . Harry Rankin sat on Vancouver 's city council on behalf of the Committee of Progressive Electors which he helped found in the late 1960s . Though not officially a Communist Party member he was a fellow traveller . The small rural municipality of Clayton , Saskatchewan elected a Communist mayor to one of its tiny towns Blairmore , Alberta elected a Communist majority town council and school board in 1933 and renamed the main street `` Tim Buck Avenue '' and the main park `` Karl Marx Park '' In 1946 , Igor Gouzenko , a cipher clerk at the Soviet Embassy , defected to Canada alleging several Canadian communists were operating a spy ring which provided the Soviet Union with top secret information . The Kellock - Taschereau Commission was called by Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King to investigate the matter . This led to the convictions of Fred Rose and other communists . Nikita Khrushchev 's 1956 Secret Speech exposing the crimes of Joseph Stalin and the 1956 Soviet invasion of Hungary shook the faith of many Communists around the world . As well , the party was riven by a crisis following the return of prominent party member J.B. Salsberg from a trip to the Soviet Union where he found rampant party - sponsored antisemitism . Salsberg reported his findings but they were rejected by the party , which suspended him from its leading bodies . The crisis resulted in the departure of the United Jewish Peoples ' Order , Salsberg , Robert Laxer and most of the party 's Jewish members in 1956 . Many , perhaps most , members of the Canadian party left , including a number of prominent party members . In the mid-1960s the United States Department of State estimated the party membership to be approximately 3500 . The Soviet Union 's 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia caused more people to leave the Canadian Communist Party . Many women were likewise deterred from engaging with Canadian Communism as the Party was somewhat resistant to their politics . The Party may have countered that the discussions of sex , gender , and women 's politics held the potential to veer away from the overarching goal of class revolution , for example , many radical women recalled the hypocrisy of Party men who refused to discuss sex despite carrying on numerous extramarital affairs . The party was also active in indigenous people 's struggles . For example , James P. Brady and Malcom Norris were founders of the Metis Associations of Saskatchewan and Alberta in the 1940s and 1950s . Collapse of the Soviet bloc and party split ( edit ) William Kashtan In common with most communist parties , it went through a crisis after the dissolution of the Soviet Union , and subsequently split . Under then general secretary George Hewison ( 1988 -- 91 ) , the leadership of the CPC and a segment of its general membership began to abandon Marxism -- Leninism as the basis of the Party 's revolutionary perspective , and ultimately moved to liquidate the Party itself , seeking to replace it with a left , social democratic entity . The protracted ideological and political crisis created much confusion and disorientation within the ranks of the Party , and paralysed both its independent and united front work for over two years . The Hewison - led majority in the Central Committee ( CC ) of the party voted to abandon Marxism -- Leninism . An orthodox minority in the CC , led by Miguel Figueroa , Elizabeth Rowley and former leader William Kashtan , resisted this effort . At the 28th Convention in the fall of 1990 , the Hewison group managed to maintain its control of the Central Committee of the CPC , but by the spring of 1991 , the membership began to turn more and more against the reformist policies and orientation of the Hewison leadership . Key provincial conventions were held in 1991 in the two main provincial bases of the CPC - British Columbia and Ontario . At the BC convention , delegates threw out Fred Wilson , one of the main leaders of the Hewison group . A few months later in June 1991 , Ontario delegates rejected a concerted campaign by Hewison and his supporters , and overwhelmingly reelected provincial leader Elizabeth Rowley and other supporters of the Marxist -- Leninist current to the Ontario Committee and Executive . The Hewison group moved on August 27 , 1991 to expel eleven of the key leaders of the opposition , including Rowley , Emil Bjarnason , and former central organizer John Bizzell . The Hewison - controlled Central Executive also dismissed the Ontario provincial committee . The vast majority of local clubs and committees of the CPC opposed the expulsions , and called instead for an extraordinary convention of the party to resolve the deepening crisis in a democratic manner . There were loud protests at the CC 's October 1991 meeting , but an extraordinary convention was not convened . With few remaining options , Rowley and the other expelled members threatened to take the Hewison group to court . After several months of negotiations between the Hewison group and the opposition `` All - Canada Negotiating Committee '' , an out - of - court settlement resulted in the Hewison leadership agreeing to leave the CPC and relinquish any claim to the party 's name , while taking most of the party 's assets to the Cecil - Ross Society , a publishing and educational foundation previously associated with the party . Following the departure of the Hewison - led group , a convention was held in December 1992 at which delegates agreed to continue the Communist Party ( thus the meeting was titled the 30th CPC Convention ) . Delegates rejected the reformist policies instituted by the Hewison group and instead reaffirmed the CPC as a Marxist -- Leninist organization . Since most of the old party 's assets were now the property of the Hewison - led Cecil Ross Society , the CPC convention decided to launch a new newspaper , the People 's Voice , to replace the old Canadian Tribune . The convention elected a new central committee with Figueroa as Party Leader . The convention also amended the party constitution to grant more membership control and lessen the arbitrary powers of the CC , while maintaining democratic centralism as its organizational principle . Meanwhile , the former Communists retained the Cecil - Ross Society as a political foundation to continue their political efforts . They also sold off the party 's headquarters at 24 Cecil Street , having earlier liquidated various party - related business such as Eveready Printers ( the party printshop ) and Progress Publishers . The name of the Cecil - Ross Society comes from the intersection of Cecil Street and Ross Street in Toronto where the headquarters of the party was located . The Cecil - Ross Society took with it the rights to the Canadian Tribune , which had been the party 's weekly newspaper for decades , as well as roughly half of the party 's assets . The Cecil - Ross Society ended publication of the Canadian Tribune and attempted to launch a new broad - left magazine , New Times which failed after a few issues and then Ginger which was only published twice . The Figueroa case ( edit ) The renovated party , although with a much smaller membership and resources ( such as the former headquarters at 24 Cecil Street in Toronto and party printing press ) now faced further challenges and threats to its existence . New electoral laws mandated that any political party which failed to field 50 candidates in a general federal election would be automatically de-registered and its assets seized . The CPC was not in a position to run 50 candidates in the 1993 federal election ( it fielded only eight candidates during that election ) , and therefore its assets were seized and the party was de-listed . The CPC had sought an interim injunction to prevent its imminent de-registration , but this legal action failed . A prolonged thirteen - year political and legal battle , Figueroa v. Canada ensued , which won the support of widespread popular opinion , reflected in a number of members of parliament openly supporting the challenge and other small political parties joining the case , most notably the Green Party . Never before had a single court challenge resulted in legislative action on three separate occasions to amend a standing law . Bill C - 2 ( 2000 ) amended the Canada Elections Act to ( among other things ) remove the unconstitutional seizure of party assets for failure to field 50 candidates in a general election and provided for the full refund of candidates ' deposits . The party had its deregistration overturned and its seized assets restored . Bill C - 9 ( 2001 ) reduced the threshold from 50 to 12 candidates for the party identifier to appear on the ballot . Bill C - 3 ( 2003 ) scrapped the 50 - candidate rule altogether for party registration . This victory was celebrated by many of the other small parties -- regardless of political differences -- on the principle that it was a victory for the people 's right to democratic choice . During this time the CPC began to publish a fortnightly newspaper called People 's Voice . Its Quebec section , le Parti communiste du Québec , was reorganized . The CPC also began periodically publishing a theoretical / discussion journal Spark ! . In 2001 the party released its full programme . YCL rebuilding convention The CPC re-launched its long - standing contribution to the labour movement and support of trade union organizing and campaigns , in the civic reform movement , and in a number of social justice , anti-war and international solidarity groups and coalitions . In 2007 Young Communist League of Canada was refounded . Local YCL groups have sprung up in several centres across the country , and the League has since held two central conventions . Quebec communists and the national question ( edit ) Main article : Communist Party of Quebec The Communist Party of Canada began organizing in Quebec upon its founding . Many important leaders of the CPC including Annie Buller , William Kashtan , Fred Rose , Madeleine Parent , and Léa Roback hailed from Montreal , and Norman Bethune joined the party in Montreal . The Quebec district fought hard battles against the Duplessis regime , which made the party illegal using the Padlock law , and to organize the unorganized . The election of Fred Rose in Cartier was a major boost to the Quebec communists and reflected the support of the CPC among working - class people in the city . For some time the party had been struggling to develop its policy on the national question in Canada , which had changed considerably since the party 's formation . As early as the 1930s the CPC recognized Quebec was a nation and by the late 1940s the party began to advocate for Quebec 's right to self - determination . In the 1950s and 60s the party clarified this position , becoming the first party to advocate for a democratic solution to the national question and a new `` made - in - Canada '' constitution that would guarantee sovereignty for Quebec , up to and including separation . While supporting the right to separate , the communists opposed the succession of Quebec from Canada , proposing a new equal and voluntary partnership between what was then commonly called French and English Canada . In the late 1950s the party finally overturned the padlock law giving new energy and hope to the party despite difficult times with the Khrushchev revelations and the continued pressure of the Cold War . Moving to better put into practice what it saw as a deeper political understanding of the national question , the CPC in Quebec re-organized as the Communist Party of Quebec in November 1965 , reflecting what it now termed the multi-national reality of Canada as `` a state with more than one nation within its borders '' . The PCQ emerged as a `` distinct entity '' of the CPC , with shared membership and , at the same time , full control over its policies and administration including its own constitution . With the Quiet Revolution , Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism and later the October Crisis the party 's position on the national question became the subject of broad debate across the country , and influenced the agreement of the Canadian Labour Congress to work with the Quebec Federation of Labour on an equal and voluntary basis . The communists called for workers sympathetic with independence movements to unite on a common , immediate class - based programme of common struggle with English - speaking Canadian workers . The PCQ helped re-launch Montreal 's mass May Day demonstrations and advanced many unique policies including the idea of a federated party of labour , which proved its prescience with the formation of Québec solidaire . The federated party of labour proposal was endorsed by the late 1960s by most trade union centrals , but the project was eclipsed by the emergence of the Parti Quebecois . By the 1980s the CPC and PCQ were calling for `` a new , democratic constitutional arrangement based on the equal and voluntary union of Aboriginal peoples , Québec , and English - speaking Canada '' replacing the Senate with a house of nations . In this context the PCQ and CPC critically supported the first referendum question on sovereignty association , while later the CPC advocated voting No on the second referendum in 1995 . During the crisis in CPC during the 1990s , the PCQ became disorganized , closed its offices , and its remaining members drifted apart from the CPC , with many in the leadership adopting positions sympathetic to nationalism . It was not until 1997 that a range of communists and communist groups came together to re-organize the PCQ . A few years later the party helped bring together different tendencies in the left to form the Union of Progressive Forces ( UFP ) which became Québec solidaire . The UFP agreed to place the question of Quebec independence as secondary to social or class issues . This was hotly debated as the party transformed into Québec solidaire . The debate moved over into the PCQ as well . These positions were questioned by the Quebec leader of the party , André Parizeau , who formulated a series of amendments in support of immediate independence in 2004 which were rejected by both the National Executive Committee ( NEC ) of the Quebec party ( by a vote of 4 - 2 ) and by the Central Executive Committee of the Canadian party ( by a vote of 7 - 1 ) . In January 2005 , Parizeau wrote a letter to PCQ members declaring that the party was in crisis and , describing the four NEC members who opposed his amendments as a pro-federalist `` Gang of Four '' , he summarily dismissed them . Although his Quebec nationalist point of view held a slim majority at the PCQ 's convention of April 2005 , the delegate selection process was highly disputed . Parizeau was subsequently expelled by the Central Committee of the CPC for factionalism and actions harmful to the Party . Around the same time , his group announced their withdrawal from the CPC . The CPC then began to re-organize the PCQ - PCC in Quebec , but the Quebec provincial government authorities continued to recognize Parizeau as holding the electoral registration of the Parti communiste du Québec . The Central Committee of the party affirmed the authority of the previous Quebec National Executive Committee in June 18 -- 19 , 2005 . The non-registered CPC - aligned PCQ held a new convention which restarted a communist French - language periodical , Clarté , and later opened an office and small reading room , launched an active website , and re-affiliated with Quebec Solidaire as an organized group . They work closely with the youth and student organization , the `` Ligue de la jeunesse communiste du Quebec '' . The CPC 's account of this situation is available online , as is the letter from Parizeau 's PCQ group . The CPC - aligned PCQ campaigned for a general social ( political ) strike against the previous Charest Liberal government and the subsequent pro-austerity provincial governments . In 2015 the Parizeau group officially left Quebec Solidaire to support the Parti Quebecois and the campaign of Pierre Karl Péladeau . 37th and 38th Central conventions ( edit ) The CPC held its 37th Central Convention in February 2013 in Toronto . According to a Toronto Star article the assembly drew 65 delegates most of whom were from Ontario , British Columbia and Quebec with a few from Alberta , Saskatchewan , Manitoba and Nova Scotia . Party leader Miguel Figueroa called for the Communists to field 25 candidates in the upcoming federal election . The CPC held its 38th Central Convention in May 2016 , again in Toronto . The meeting drew about 70 - 80 delegates from Ontario , British Columbia , Quebec , Manitoba , Alberta , Nova Scotia , Newfoundland and New Brunswick , in order of delegation size . The party held a special tribute to Miguel Figueroa , who had retired before the convention , and elected Elizabeth Rowley as party leader . Allied organizations ( edit ) Historically , the Communist Party and Labor - Progressive Party have had allied organizations which were affiliated with the party until the late - 1920s , and subsequently understood to be largely following the Party 's direction . These groups often originated from left wing labour and socialist movements that existed prior to the creation of the Communist Party and operated political and cultural activities amongst various immigrant groups , published magazines and operated their own cultural centres and meeting halls . From the 1920s through the 1950s the largest immigrant groups represented in the party were Finns , Ukrainians and Jews who were organized in the Finnish Organization of Canada ( founded in 1911 as the Finnish Socialist Organization of Canada ) , the Association of United Ukrainian Canadians ( known as the Ukrainian Labor Farmer Temple Association until 1946 ) and the United Jewish Peoples ' Order ( known as the Labour League until 1945 ) respectively . Also active in the 1930s and 1940s were the Hungarian Workers Clubs , the Polish People 's Association ( formerly the Polish Workers ' and Farmers ' Association ) , the Serbian People 's Movement and Croatian Cultural Association ( formerly the Jugoslav Workers ' Clubs ) and the Carpatho - Russian Society . The Russian Farmer - Worker Clubs were formed in the early 1930s but closed by the government under the Defence of Canada Regulations at the outbreak of World War II . When the Soviet Union became Canada 's ally in 1942 , they re-appeared as the Federation of Russian Canadians . The Canadian Slav Committee was formed in 1948 in an attempt to put party - aligned cultural associations for Ukrainians , Russians , Poles , Slovaks , Bulgarians , Macedonians , Yugoslavs and Carpatho - Rusyns under one umbrella . The UJPO broke with the party in 1956 during the period of the `` Khrushchev revelations '' and allegations of antisemitism in the Soviet Union . Later allied organizations include the Greek Canadian Democratic Organization formed by leftists emigres who had fled the Greek military junta of 1967 -- 1974 and the Portuguese Canadian Democratic Association which was formed by left - wing emigres who had left Portugal in the 1960s and early 1970s when it was still ruled by a right wing dictatorship . The Portuguese association was outspoken in its support of the 1974 Carnation Revolution .

From 1943 until 1959 they ran candidates under the name Labor - Progressive Party . : In 1972 , a new Elections Act came into effect which required a party to run at least 50 candidates in order to be considered an official party . The Communist Party failed to reach that threshold and so its 32 candidates were officially considered to be independents . : The party failed to register at least 50 candidates in time for the 1993 election . As a result , the party was deregistered and its candidates ran as independents . Party status was not regained until prior to the 2000 general election . It is unknown how many party members ran in the 1993 and 1997 elections as independents .

"The Communist Party of Canada (French: Parti communiste du Canada, CPC/PCC) is a communist political party in Canada founded in 1921 under conditions of illegality. Although it is now a political party without any elected political representation, the party's candidates have been elected to the Parliament of Canada, the Ontario legislature, the Manitoba legislature, and various municipal governments across the country. The party has also contributed significantly to trade union organizing and labour history in Canada, peace and anti-war activism, and many other social movements.[2]"

The three states were represented by President Franklin D. Roosevelt , Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Premier Joseph Stalin , respectively . The conference convened near Yalta in Crimea , Soviet Union within the Livadia , Yusupov , and Vorontsov Palaces . The aim of the conference was to shape a post-war peace that represented not just a collective security order but a plan to give self - determination to the liberated peoples of post-Nazi Europe . The meeting was intended mainly to discuss the re-establishment of the nations of war - torn Europe . However within a few short years , with the Cold War dividing the continent , Yalta became a subject of intense controversy . Yalta was the second of three major wartime conferences among the Big Three . It was preceded by the Tehran Conference in November 1943 , and was followed by the Potsdam Conference in July 1945 . It was also preceded by a conference in Moscow in October 1944 ( Moscow Conference ( 1944 ) ) , not attended by President Roosevelt , in which Churchill and Stalin had carved up Europe into Western and Soviet spheres of influence . The Potsdam Conference was attended by Stalin , Churchill ( who was replaced halfway through by the newly elected British Prime Minister Clement Attlee ) and Harry S. Truman , Roosevelt 's successor after his death .

Kuter , Admiral E.J. King , General George C. Marshall , Ambassador Averell Harriman , Admiral William Leahy , and President F.D. Roosevelt . Livadia Palace , Crimea , Russia By the time of the Yalta Conference , the Western forces consisting of the United Kingdom , the United States , Canada , and the governments - in - exile of France and Belgium , led by British general Bernard Montgomery and American generals Dwight D. Eisenhower and Omar Bradley , had liberated all of France and Belgium and were advancing into Germany , leading to the Battle of the Bulge . In the east , Red Army Marshal Georgy Zhukov 's forces were 65 km ( 40 mi ) from Berlin , having already pushed back the Nazis from Poland , Romania , Bulgaria , and most of Yugoslavia . By February , Germany only had loose control over the Netherlands , Norway , Denmark , Austria , Germany , Northern Italy , and Northern Yugoslavia . Stalin , insisting that his doctors opposed any long trips , rejected Roosevelt 's suggestion to meet at the Mediterranean . He offered instead to meet at the Black Sea resort of Yalta , in the Crimea . Stalin 's fear of flying also was a contributing factor in this decision . Each of the three leaders had their own agenda for post-war Germany and liberated Europe . Roosevelt wanted Soviet support in the U.S. Pacific War against Japan , specifically for the planned invasion of Japan ( Operation August Storm ) , as well as Soviet participation in the United Nations ; Churchill pressed for free elections and democratic governments in Eastern and Central Europe ( specifically Poland ) ; and Stalin demanded a Soviet sphere of political influence in Eastern and Central Europe as an essential aspect of the USSR 's national security strategy . Stalin 's position at the conference was one which he felt was so strong that he could dictate terms . According to U.S. delegation member and future Secretary of State James F. Byrnes , `` it was not a question of what we would let the Russians do , but what we could get the Russians to do . '' Poland was the first item on the Soviet agenda . Stalin stated that `` For the Soviet government , the question of Poland was one of honor '' and security because Poland had served as a historical corridor for forces attempting to invade Russia . In addition , Stalin stated regarding history that `` because the Russians had greatly sinned against Poland '' , `` the Soviet government was trying to atone for those sins . '' Stalin concluded that `` Poland must be strong '' and that `` the Soviet Union is interested in the creation of a mighty , free and independent Poland . '' Accordingly , Stalin stipulated that Polish government - in - exile demands were not negotiable : the Soviet Union would keep the territory of eastern Poland they had already annexed in 1939 , and Poland was to be compensated for that by extending its western borders at the expense of Germany . Contrasting with his prior statement , Stalin promised free elections in Poland despite the Soviet sponsored provisional government recently installed by him in Polish territories occupied by the Red Army . Roosevelt wanted the USSR to enter the Pacific War with the Allies . One Soviet precondition for a declaration of war against Japan was an American official recognition of Mongolian independence from China ( the Mongolian People 's Republic had already been the Soviet satellite state from its own beginnings in 1924 , through World War II ) , and a recognition of Soviet interests in the Manchurian railways and Port Arthur ( but not asking the Chinese to lease ) , as well as deprivation of Japanese soil ( such as Sakhalin and Kuril Islands ) to return to Russian custody since the Treaty of Portsmouth ; these were agreed without Chinese representation , consultation or consent , with the American desire to end war early thereby reducing American casualties . Stalin agreed that the Soviet Union would enter the Pacific War three months after the defeat of Germany . Stalin pledged to Truman to keep the nationality of the Korean Peninsula intact as Soviet Union entered the war against Japan . A Big Three meeting room Furthermore , the Soviets had agreed to join the United Nations , given the secret understanding of a voting formula with a veto power for permanent members of the Security Council , thus ensuring that each country could block unwanted decisions . At the time , the Red Army had occupied Poland completely and held much of Eastern Europe with a military power three times greater than Allied forces in the West . The Declaration of Liberated Europe did little to dispel the sphere of influence agreements that had been incorporated into armistice agreements . All three leaders ratified previous agreements about the post-war occupation zones for Germany : three zones of occupation , one for each of the three principal Allies : The Soviet Union , the United Kingdom , and the United States . They also agreed to give France a zone of occupation , carved out of the U.S. and UK zones . Also , the Big Three agreed that all original governments would be restored to the invaded countries ( with the exception of France , whose government was regarded as collaborationist ; Romania and Bulgaria , where the Soviets had already liquidated most of the governments ; and Poland whose government - in - exile was also excluded by Stalin ) and that all civilians would be repatriated . Declaration of liberated Europe ( edit ) The Declaration of Liberated Europe is a declaration that was created by Winston Churchill , Franklin D. Roosevelt , and Joseph Stalin during the Yalta Conference . It was a promise that allowed the people of Europe `` to create democratic institutions of their own choice '' . The declaration pledged , `` the earliest possible establishment through free elections governments responsive to the will of the people . '' This is similar to the statements of the Atlantic Charter , which says , `` the right of all people to choose the form of government under which they will live . '' Stalin broke the pledge by encouraging Poland , Romania , Bulgaria , Hungary , and many more countries to construct a Communist government , instead of letting the people construct their own . The countries later became known as Stalin 's Satellite Nations .

After the war , Germany and Berlin would be split into four occupied zones . Stalin agreed that France would have a fourth occupation zone in Germany , but it would have to be formed out of the American and British zones . Germany would undergo demilitarization and denazification . German reparations were partly to be in the form of forced labour . ( see also Forced labor of Germans after World War II and Forced labor of Germans in the Soviet Union ) . The forced labour was to be used to repair damage that Germany had inflicted on its victims . Creation of a reparation council which would be located in the Soviet Union . The status of Poland was discussed . It was agreed to reorganize the communist Provisional Government of the Republic of Poland that had been installed by the Soviet Union `` on a broader democratic basis . '' The Polish eastern border would follow the Curzon Line , and Poland would receive territorial compensation in the west from Germany . Stalin pledged to permit free elections in Poland . Roosevelt obtained a commitment by Stalin to participate in the UN . Stalin requested that all of the 16 Soviet Socialist Republics would be granted UN membership . This was taken into consideration , but 14 republics were denied ; Truman agreed to membership for Ukraine and Byelorussia while reserving the right , which was never exercised , to seek two more votes for the United States . Stalin agreed to enter the fight against the Empire of Japan `` in two or three months after Germany has surrendered and the war in Europe is terminated , '' and that as a result , the Soviets would take possession of Southern Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands , the port of Dalian would be internationalized , and the Soviet lease of Port Arthur would be restored , among other concessions . Nazi war criminals were to be found and put on trial . A `` Committee on Dismemberment of Germany '' was to be set up . Its purpose was to decide whether Germany was to be divided into six nations . Some examples of partition plans are shown below : The eventual partition of Germany into Allied Occupation Zones : British zone French zone ( two exclaves ) and beginning in 1947 , the Saar protectorate American zone Soviet zone , later the GDR Polish and Soviet annexed territory Partition plan from Winston Churchill : North German state South German state , including modern Austria and Hungary West German state Partition plan from Franklin D. Roosevelt : Hanover Prussia Hesse Saxony Bavaria International zone ( two exclaves ) Allied - administered Austria Morgenthau Plan : North German state South German state International zone Territory lost from Germany ( Saarland to France , Upper Silesia to Poland , East Prussia , partitioned between Poland and the Soviet Union ) Democratic elections ( edit ) The Big Three further agreed that democracies would be established , all liberated European and former Axis satellite countries would hold free elections and that order would be restored . In that regard , they promised to rebuild occupied countries by processes that will allow them `` to create democratic institutions of their own choice . This is a principle of the Atlantic Charter -- the right of all peoples to choose the form of government under which they will live '' . The resulting report stated that the three would assist occupied countries to form interim government that `` pledged to the earliest possible establishment through free elections of the Governments responsive to the will of the people '' and to `` facilitate where necessary the holding of such elections . '' The agreement called on signatories to `` consult together on the measures necessary to discharge the joint responsibilities set forth in this declaration . '' During the Yalta discussions , Molotov inserted language that weakened the implication of enforcement of the declaration . Regarding Poland , the Yalta report further stated that the provisional government should `` be pledged to the holding of free and unfettered elections as soon as possible on the basis of universal suffrage and secret ballot . '' The agreement could not conceal the importance of acceding to pro-Soviet short - term Lublin government control and of eliminating language calling for supervised elections . According to President Roosevelt , `` if we attempt to evade the fact that we placed somewhat more emphasis on the Lublin Poles than on the other two groups from which the new government is to be drawn I feel we will expose ourselves to the charges that we are attempting to go back on the Crimea decision . '' Roosevelt conceded that , in the words of Admiral William D. Leahy , the language of Yalta was so vague that the Soviets would be able to `` stretch it all the way from Yalta to Washington without ever technically breaking it . '' The final agreement stipulated that `` the Provisional Government which is now functioning in Poland should therefore be reorganized on a broader democratic basis with the inclusion of democratic leaders from Poland and from Poles abroad . '' The language of Yalta conceded predominance of the pro-Soviet Lublin Government in a provisional government , albeit a reorganized one . Aftermath ( edit ) Poland and the eastern bloc ( edit ) Further information : History of Poland ( 1939 -- 1945 ) and Eastern Bloc The military situation at the end of the conference Poland 's old and new borders , 1945 - Kresy in light blue Because of Stalin 's strong promises and admission of guilt over Poland , Churchill believed that he would keep his word regarding Poland , remarking `` Poor Neville Chamberlain believed he could trust Hitler . He was wrong . But I do n't think I am wrong about Stalin . '' At that time , over 200,000 soldiers of the Polish Armed Forces in the West were serving under the high command of the British Army . Many of these men and women were originally from the Kresy region of eastern Poland including cities such as Lwów and Vilnius . They had been deported from Kresy to the eastern regions of Russia , or sent to Gulags when the USSR occupied this region of Poland in 1939 . Two years later , when Churchill and Stalin formed an alliance against Hitler , the Kresy Poles were released from the Gulags in Siberia , formed the Anders Army and marched to Persia to create the II Corps ( Poland ) under British high command . These Polish troops were instrumental to the Allied defeat of the Germans in North Africa and Italy , and hoped to return to their homes in Kresy in an independent and democratic Poland at the end of the War . But at Yalta , Roosevelt and Churchill largely acceded to Stalin 's demands to annex the territory which in the Nazi - Soviet Pact he and Hitler had agreed to the Soviet Union controlling , including Kresy , and to carry out Polish population transfers ( 1944 -- 1946 ) . Consequently , they in effect agreed that tens of thousands of veteran Polish troops under British command should lose their Kresy homes to the Soviet Union . In reaction , thirty officers and men from the II Corps ( Poland ) committed suicide . Churchill defended his actions at Yalta in a three - day Parliament army debate starting on February 27 , which ended in a vote of confidence . During the debate many MPs criticised Churchill and expressed deep reservations about Yalta and support for Poland , with 25 drafting an amendment protesting the agreement . These members included : Arthur Greenwood ; Sir Archibald Southby , 1st Baronet ; Sir Alec Douglas - Home ; James Heathcote - Drummond - Willoughby , 3rd Earl of Ancaster and Victor Raikes . After the failure of the amendment , Henry Strauss , 1st Baron Conesford , the Member of Parliament for Norwich , resigned his seat in protest at the British treatment of Poland . When the Second World War ended , a Communist government was installed in Poland . Many Poles felt betrayed by their wartime allies . Many Polish soldiers refused to return to Poland , because of the Soviet repressions of Polish citizens ( 1939 -- 1946 ) , the Trial of the Sixteen and other executions of pro-Western Poles , particularly the former members of the AK ( Armia Krajowa ) . The result was the Polish Resettlement Act 1947 , Britain 's first mass immigration law . On March 1 , Roosevelt assured Congress that `` I come from the Crimea with a firm belief that we have made a start on the road to a world of peace . '' However , the Western Powers soon realized that Stalin would not honour his promise of free elections for Poland . After receiving considerable criticism in London following Yalta regarding the atrocities committed in Poland by Soviet troops , Churchill wrote Roosevelt a desperate letter referencing the wholesale deportations and liquidations of opposition Poles by the Soviets . On March 11 , Roosevelt responded to Churchill , writing , `` I most certainly agree that we must stand firm on a correct interpretation of the Crimean decision . You are quite correct in assuming that neither the Government nor the people of this country will support participation in a fraud or a mere whitewash of the Lublin government and the solution must be as we envisaged it in Yalta . '' By March 21 , Roosevelt 's Ambassador to the USSR Averell Harriman cabled Roosevelt that `` we must come clearly to realize that the Soviet program is the establishment of totalitarianism , ending personal liberty and democracy as we know it . '' Two days later , Roosevelt began to admit that his view of Stalin had been excessively optimistic and that `` Averell is right . '' Four days later , on March 27 , the Soviet Peoples Commissariat for Internal Affairs ( NKVD ) arrested 16 Polish opposition political leaders that had been invited to participate in provisional government negotiations . The arrests were part of a trick employed by the NKVD , which flew the leaders to Moscow for a later show trial followed by sentencing to a gulag . Churchill thereafter argued to Roosevelt that it was `` as plain as a pike staff '' that Moscow 's tactics were to drag out the period for holding free elections `` while the Lublin Committee consolidate their power . '' The Polish elections , held on January 16 , 1947 , resulted in Poland 's official transformation to a communist state by 1949 . Following Yalta , in Russia , when Soviet Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov expressed worry that the Yalta Agreement 's wording might impede Stalin 's plans , Stalin responded `` Never mind . We 'll do it our own way later . '' While the Soviet Union had already annexed several occupied countries as ( or into ) Soviet Socialist Republics , other countries in eastern Europe that it occupied were converted into Soviet - controlled satellite states , such as the People 's Republic of Poland , the People 's Republic of Hungary , the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic , the People 's Republic of Romania , the People 's Republic of Bulgaria , the People 's Republic of Albania , and later East Germany from the Soviet zone of German occupation . Eventually the United States and the United Kingdom made concessions in recognizing the then Communist - dominated regions , sacrificing the substance of the Yalta Declaration , while it remained in form . Aborted enforcement plans ( edit ) Further information : Operation Unthinkable At some point of Spring 1945 , Churchill had commissioned a contingency military enforcement operation plan ( war on the Soviet Union ) to obtain `` square deal for Poland '' ( Operation Unthinkable ) , which resulted in a May 22 report stating unfavorable success odds . The report 's arguments included geostrategic issues ( possible Soviet - Japanese alliance resulting in moving of Japanese troops from continent to Home Islands , threat to Iran / Iraq ) and uncertainties concerning land battles in Europe . Potsdam and the atomic bomb ( edit ) Further information : Potsdam Conference and Potsdam Agreement The Potsdam Conference was held from July to August 1945 , which included the participation of Clement Attlee ( who had replaced Churchill as Prime Minister ) and President Harry S Truman ( representing the United States after Roosevelt 's death ) . At Potsdam , the Soviets denied claims that they were interfering in the affairs of Romania , Bulgaria and Hungary . The conference resulted in ( 1 ) the Potsdam Declaration regarding the surrender of Japan , and ( 2 ) the Potsdam Agreement regarding the Soviet annexation of former Polish territory east of the Curzon Line , and , provisions , to be addressed in an eventual Final Treaty ending World War II , for the annexation of parts of Germany east of the Oder - Neisse line into Poland , and northern East Prussia into the Soviet Union . Four months after the death of Roosevelt , President Truman ordered the dropping of an atomic bomb on Hiroshima on August 6 , 1945 .

Even though it is advertised as a `` 500 - mile '' race , because TMS is a track that is 1.5 miles ( 2.4 km ) in length , the actual race distance is 501 miles ( 806.3 km ) . Contents ( hide ) 1 Race history 1.1 Grandfather clause 2 Past winners 2.1 Notes 2.2 Multiple winners ( drivers ) 2.3 Multiple winners ( teams ) 2.4 Manufacturer wins 3 Television broadcasters 3.1 Notes 4 References 5 External links Race history ( edit ) The first two runnings of the race were controversial , crash - strewn affairs , with universal criticism that the track 's design was one groove ; Kenny Wallace argued , `` They 're so busy building condos they do n't have time to fix the racetrack . '' There were 10 different winners in the first ten races , the longest such streak for any NASCAR track in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series . This list includes Texas Native Terry Labonte , who won in 1999 , and Dale Earnhardt Jr winning his first race in 2000 . Jeff Burton , the winner of the inaugural race , broke that streak by getting his second Texas win in a last lap pass in 2007 . In 2011 , the race became a Saturday night event , whereas before it was always a Sunday afternoon race . This was done since the night race at Phoenix was moved to February and became a day race . The 2011 race was run on April 9 , 2011 and was the first scheduled night race of the season , and in Texas Motor Speedway history for the Cup Series . In 2013 , NASCAR became involved in controversy when the National Rifle Association ( NRA ) began to sponsor the race ; although race sponsorships are negotiated with the track owner , not NASCAR itself , the sanctioning organization has final approval and did not object to the sponsorship . Both NASCAR 's acceptance of this sponsorship , and its timing , has been controversial , and offensive to gun control activists . Because of the sponsorship , Senator Chris Murphy asked Rupert Murdoch , whose News Corporation owns Fox Sports , which was scheduled to air the race , to not broadcast it . Fox broadcast the race as scheduled , not least because failure to do so would have been a breach of the network 's contract with NASCAR . However , Fox only used the official sponsored name once per hour ( the minimum mandated by NASCAR ) and otherwise referred to it generically ( in this case as the `` Texas 500 '' ) , the network 's usual practice when a race 's title sponsor does not buy ads during the race broadcast ; the NRA reportedly did not seek to purchase any such ads . The NRA would return as a race sponsor in 2016 for the Bristol Night Race in August at Speedway 's owned Bristol Motor Speedway . In 2014 , the race returned to being a Sunday afternoon race because of the NCAA Men 's basketball Final Four games being held at AT&T Stadium in nearby Arlington , so that the race occurs on a day in between tournament games . On February 6 , 2014 , Duck Commander , the business that is the subject of the TV show Duck Dynasty , bought the naming rights for the race . The race returned to its Saturday night date in 2015 . In 2017 , the race would once again return to Sunday afternoon and the race was renamed under a new sponsorship deal with O'Reilly Auto Parts . Grandfather clause ( edit ) Samsung sponsored the race from 2002 -- 2012 , while RadioShack was previously a co-sponsor . The joint sponsorship was grandfathered in 2003 by NASCAR 's grandfather clause when Nextel became a NASCAR sponsor , as they banned rival wireless sponsorships ( Nextel used Motorola exclusively ) ; the ban was lifted after the 2005 merger of Sprint and Nextel because Sprint is sold at RadioShack , and Sprint offers Samsung products .

The battles were fought on April 19 , 1775 in Middlesex County , Province of Massachusetts Bay , within the towns of Lexington , Concord , Lincoln , Menotomy ( present - day Arlington ) , and Cambridge . They marked the outbreak of armed conflict between the Kingdom of Great Britain and its thirteen colonies in America . In late 1774 , Colonial leaders adopted the Suffolk Resolves in resistance to the alterations made to the Massachusetts colonial government by the British parliament following the Boston Tea Party . The colonial assembly responded by forming a Patriot provisional government known as the Massachusetts Provincial Congress and calling for local militias to train for possible hostilities . The Colonial government exercised effective control of the colony outside of British - controlled Boston . In response , the British government in February 1775 declared Massachusetts to be in a state of rebellion . About 700 British Army regulars in Boston , under Lieutenant Colonel Francis Smith , were given secret orders to capture and destroy Colonial military supplies reportedly stored by the Massachusetts militia at Concord . Through effective intelligence gathering , Patriot leaders had received word weeks before the expedition that their supplies might be at risk and had moved most of them to other locations . On the night before the battle , warning of the British expedition had been rapidly sent from Boston to militias in the area by several riders , including Paul Revere and Samuel Prescott , with information about British plans . The initial mode of the Army 's arrival by water was signaled from the Old North Church in Boston to Charlestown using lanterns to communicate `` one if by land , two if by sea '' . The first shots were fired just as the sun was rising at Lexington . Eight militiamen were killed , including Ensign Robert Munroe , their ranking officer . The British suffered only one casualty . The militia were outnumbered and fell back , and the regulars proceeded on to Concord , where they broke apart into companies to search for the supplies . At the North Bridge in Concord , approximately 400 militiamen engaged 100 regulars from three companies of the King 's troops at about 11 : 00 am , resulting in casualties on both sides . The outnumbered regulars fell back from the bridge and rejoined the main body of British forces in Concord . The British forces began their return march to Boston after completing their search for military supplies , and more militiamen continued to arrive from neighboring towns . Gunfire erupted again between the two sides and continued throughout the day as the regulars marched back towards Boston . Upon returning to Lexington , Lt. Col. Smith 's expedition was rescued by reinforcements under Brigadier General Hugh Percy , a future duke of Northumberland known as Earl Percy . The combined force of about 1,700 men marched back to Boston under heavy fire in a tactical withdrawal and eventually reached the safety of Charlestown . The accumulated militias then blockaded the narrow land accesses to Charlestown and Boston , starting the Siege of Boston . Ralph Waldo Emerson describes the first shot fired by the Patriots at the North Bridge in his `` Concord Hymn '' as the `` shot heard round the world '' .

They had occupied Boston since 1768 and had been augmented by naval forces and marines to enforce what the colonists called The Intolerable Acts , which had been passed by the British Parliament to punish the Province of Massachusetts Bay for the Boston Tea Party and other acts of defiance . General Thomas Gage was the military governor of Massachusetts and commander - in - chief of the roughly 3,000 British military forces garrisoned in Boston . He had no control over Massachusetts outside of Boston , however , where implementation of the Acts had increased tensions between the Patriot Whig majority and the pro-British Tory minority . Gage 's plan was to avoid conflict by removing military supplies from Whig militias using small , secret , and rapid strikes . This struggle for supplies led to one British success and several Patriot successes in a series of nearly bloodless conflicts known as the Powder Alarms . Gage considered himself to be a friend of liberty and attempted to separate his duties as governor of the colony and as general of an occupying force . Edmund Burke described Gage 's conflicted relationship with Massachusetts by saying in Parliament , `` An Englishman is the unfittest person on Earth to argue another Englishman into slavery . '' The colonists had been forming militias since the very beginnings of Colonial settlement for the purpose of defense against Indian attacks . These forces also saw action in the French and Indian War between 1754 and 1763 when they fought alongside British regulars . Under the laws of each New England colony , all towns were obligated to form militia companies composed of all males 16 years of age and older ( there were exemptions for some categories ) , and to ensure that the members were properly armed . The Massachusetts militias were formally under the jurisdiction of the provincial government , but militia companies throughout New England elected their own officers . Gage effectively dissolved the provincial government under the terms of the Massachusetts Government Act , and these existing connections were employed by the colonists under the Massachusetts Provincial Congress for the purpose of resistance to the military threat from Britain . British government preparations A February 1775 address to King George III , by both houses of Parliament , declared that a state of rebellion existed : We ... find that a part of your Majesty ' s subjects , in the Province of the Massachusetts Bay , have proceeded so far to resist the authority of the supreme Legislature , that a rebellion at this time actually exists within the said Province ; and we see , with the utmost concern , that they have been countenanced and encouraged by unlawful combinations and engagements entered into by your Majesty 's subjects in several of the other Colonies , to the injury and oppression of many of their innocent fellow - subjects , resident within the Kingdom of Great Britain , and the rest of your Majesty ' s Dominions ... We ... shall ... pay attention and regard to any real grievances ... laid before us ; and whenever any of the Colonies shall make a proper application to us , we shall be ready to afford them every just and reasonable indulgence . At the same time we ... beseech your Majesty that you will ... enforce due obedience to the laws and authority of the supreme Legislature ; and ... it is our fixed resolution , at the hazard of our lives and properties , to stand by your Majesty against all rebellious attempts in the maintenance of the just rights of your Majesty , and the two Houses of Parliament . On April 14 , 1775 , Gage received instructions from Secretary of State William Legge , Earl of Dartmouth , to disarm the rebels and to imprison the rebellion 's leaders , but Dartmouth gave Gage considerable discretion in his commands . Gage 's decision to act promptly may have been influenced by information he received on April 15 , from a spy within the Provincial Congress , telling him that although the Congress was still divided on the need for armed resistance , delegates were being sent to the other New England colonies to see if they would cooperate in raising a New England army of 18,000 colonial soldiers . Francis Smith , commander of the military expedition , in a 1763 portrait On the morning of April 18 , Gage ordered a mounted patrol of about 20 men under the command of Major Mitchell of the 5th Regiment of Foot into the surrounding country to intercept messengers who might be out on horseback . This patrol behaved differently from patrols sent out from Boston in the past , staying out after dark and asking travelers about the location of Samuel Adams and John Hancock . This had the unintended effect of alarming many residents and increasing their preparedness . The Lexington militia in particular began to muster early that evening , hours before receiving any word from Boston . A well - known story alleges that after nightfall one farmer , Josiah Nelson , mistook the British patrol for the colonists and asked them , `` Have you heard anything about when the regulars are coming out ? '' upon which he was slashed on his scalp with a sword . However , the story of this incident was not published until over a century later , which suggests that it may be little more than a family myth . Lieutenant Colonel Francis Smith received orders from Gage on the afternoon of April 18 with instructions that he was not to read them until his troops were underway . He was to proceed from Boston `` with utmost expedition and secrecy to Concord , where you will seize and destroy ... all Military stores ... But you will take care that the soldiers do not plunder the inhabitants or hurt private property . '' Gage used his discretion and did not issue written orders for the arrest of rebel leaders , as he feared doing so might spark an uprising . American preparations Margaret Kemble Gage may have given military intelligence to the rebels . On March 30 , 1775 , the Massachusetts Provincial Congress issued the following resolution : Whenever the army under command of General Gage , or any part thereof to the number of five hundred , shall march out of the town of Boston , with artillery and baggage , it ought to be deemed a design to carry into execution by force the late acts of Parliament , the attempting of which , by the resolve of the late honourable Continental Congress , ought to be opposed ; and therefore the military force of the Province ought to be assembled , and an army of observation immediately formed , to act solely on the defensive so long as it can be justified on the principles of reason and self - preservation . The rebellion 's leaders -- with the exception of Paul Revere and Joseph Warren -- had all left Boston by April 8 . They had received word of Dartmouth 's secret instructions to General Gage from sources in London well before they reached Gage himself . Adams and Hancock had fled Boston to the home of one of Hancock 's relatives in Lexington , where they thought they would be safe from the immediate threat of arrest . The Massachusetts militias had indeed been gathering a stock of weapons , powder , and supplies at Concord and much further west in Worcester . An expedition from Boston to Concord was widely anticipated . After a large contingent of regulars alarmed the countryside by an expedition from Boston to Watertown on March 30 , The Pennsylvania Journal , a newspaper in Philadelphia , reported , `` It was supposed they were going to Concord , where the Provincial Congress is now sitting . A quantity of provisions and warlike stores are lodged there ... It is ... said they are intending to go out again soon . '' On April 18 , Paul Revere began the `` midnight ride '' to Concord to warn the inhabitants that the British appeared to be planning an expedition . The ride was finished by Samuel Prescott . Upon hearing Prescott 's news , the townspeople decided to remove the stores and distribute them among other towns nearby . The colonists were also aware that April 19 would be the date of the expedition , despite Gage 's efforts to keep the details hidden from all the British rank and file and even from the officers who would command the mission . There is reasonable speculation , although not proven , that the confidential source of this intelligence was Margaret Gage , General Gage 's New Jersey - born wife , who had sympathies with the Colonial cause and a friendly relationship with Warren . Between 9 and 10 pm on the night of April 18 , 1775 , Joseph Warren told Revere and William Dawes that the British troops were about to embark in boats from Boston bound for Cambridge and the road to Lexington and Concord . Warren 's intelligence suggested that the most likely objectives of the regulars ' movements later that night would be the capture of Adams and Hancock . They did not worry about the possibility of regulars marching to Concord , since the supplies at Concord were safe , but they did think their leaders in Lexington were unaware of the potential danger that night . Revere and Dawes were sent out to warn them and to alert colonial militias in nearby towns . Militia forces assemble Further information : Minutemen Dawes covered the southern land route by horseback across Boston Neck and over the Great Bridge to Lexington . Revere first gave instructions to send a signal to Charlestown using lanterns hung in the steeple of Boston 's Old North Church . He then traveled the northern water route , crossing the mouth of the Charles River by rowboat , slipping past the British warship HMS Somerset at anchor . Crossings were banned at that hour , but Revere safely landed in Charlestown and rode west to Lexington , warning almost every house along the route . Additional riders were sent north from Charlestown . Silversmith Paul Revere and several other messengers on horseback sounded the alarm that the regulars were leaving Boston . After they arrived in Lexington , Revere , Dawes , Hancock , and Adams discussed the situation with the militia assembling there . They believed that the forces leaving the city were too large for the sole task of arresting two men and that Concord was the main target . The Lexington men dispatched riders to the surrounding towns , and Revere and Dawes continued along the road to Concord accompanied by Samuel Prescott . In Lincoln , they ran into the British patrol led by Major Mitchell . Revere was captured , Dawes was thrown from his horse , and only Prescott escaped to reach Concord . Additional riders were sent out from Concord . The ride of Revere , Dawes , and Prescott triggered a flexible system of `` alarm and muster '' that had been carefully developed months before , in reaction to the colonists ' impotent response to the Powder Alarm . This system was an improved version of an old notification network for use in times of emergency . The colonists had periodically used it during the early years of Indian wars in the colony , before it fell into disuse in the French and Indian War . In addition to other express riders delivering messages , bells , drums , alarm guns , bonfires and a trumpet were used for rapid communication from town to town , notifying the rebels in dozens of eastern Massachusetts villages that they should muster their militias because over 500 regulars were leaving Boston . This system was so effective that people in towns 25 miles ( 40 km ) from Boston were aware of the army 's movements while they were still unloading boats in Cambridge . These early warnings played a crucial role in assembling a sufficient number of colonial militia to inflict heavy damage on the British regulars later in the day . Adams and Hancock were eventually moved to safety , first to what is now Burlington and later to Billerica . A National Park Service map showing the routes of the initial Patriot messengers and of the British expedition British forces advance Around dusk , General Gage called a meeting of his senior officers at the Province House . He informed them that instructions from Lord Dartmouth had arrived , ordering him to take action against the colonials . He also told them that the senior colonel of his regiments , Lieutenant Colonel Smith , would command , with Major John Pitcairn as his executive officer . The meeting adjourned around 8 : 30 pm , after which Earl Percy mingled with town folk on Boston Common . According to one account , the discussion among people there turned to the unusual movement of the British soldiers in the town . When Percy questioned one man further , the man replied , `` Well , the regulars will miss their aim . '' `` What aim ? '' asked Percy . `` Why , the cannon at Concord '' was the reply . Upon hearing this , Percy quickly returned to Province House and relayed this information to General Gage . Stunned , Gage issued orders to prevent messengers from getting out of Boston , but these were too late to prevent Dawes and Revere from leaving . 1775 map of the battles and of the Siege of Boston The British regulars , around 700 infantry , were drawn from 11 of Gage 's 13 occupying infantry regiments . Major Pitcairn commanded ten elite light infantry companies , and Lieutenant Colonel Benjamin Bernard commanded 11 grenadier companies , under the overall command of Lieutenant Colonel Smith . Of the troops assigned to the expedition , 350 were from grenadier companies drawn from the 4th ( King 's Own ) , 5th , 10th , 18th ( Royal Irish ) , 23rd , 38th , 43rd , 47th , 52nd and 59th Regiments of Foot , and the 1st Battalion of His Majesty 's Marine Forces . Protecting the grenadier companies were about 320 light infantry from the 4th , 5th , 10th , 23rd , 38th , 43rd , 47th , 52nd , and 59th Regiments , and the 1st Battalion of the Marines . Each company had its own lieutenant , but the majority of the captains commanding them were volunteers attached to them at the last minute , drawn from all the regiments stationed in Boston . This lack of familiarity between commander and company would cause problems during the battle . The British began to awaken their troops at 9 pm on the night of April 18 and assembled them on the water 's edge on the western end of Boston Common by 10 pm . Colonel Smith was late in arriving , and there was no organized boat - loading operation , resulting in confusion at the staging area . The boats used were naval barges that were packed so tightly that there was no room to sit down . When they disembarked near Phipps Farm in Cambridge , it was into waist - deep water at midnight . After a lengthy halt to unload their gear , the regulars began their 17 miles ( 27 km ) march to Concord at about 2 am . During the wait they were provided with extra ammunition , cold salt pork , and hard sea biscuits . They did not carry knapsacks , since they would not be encamped . They carried their haversacks ( food bags ) , canteens , muskets , and accoutrements , and marched off in wet , muddy shoes and soggy uniforms . As they marched through Menotomy , sounds of the colonial alarms throughout the countryside caused the few officers who were aware of their mission to realize they had lost the element of surprise . At about 3 am , Colonel Smith sent Major Pitcairn ahead with six companies of light infantry under orders to quick march to Concord . At about 4 am Smith made the wise but belated decision to send a messenger back to Boston asking for reinforcements . The Battles Lexington BEP engraved vignette Battle of Lexington which appeared on the $20 National Bank Note Battle of Lexington , April 19 , 1775 , New York Public Library Though often styled a battle , in reality the engagement at Lexington was a minor brush or skirmish . As the regulars ' advance guard under Pitcairn entered Lexington at sunrise on April 19 , 1775 , about 80 Lexington militiamen emerged from Buckman Tavern and stood in ranks on the village common watching them , and between 40 and 100 spectators watched from along the side of the road . Their leader was Captain John Parker , a veteran of the French and Indian War , who was suffering from tuberculosis and was at times difficult to hear . Of the militiamen who lined up , nine had the surname Harrington , seven Munroe ( including the company 's orderly sergeant , William Munroe ) , four Parker , three Tidd , three Locke , and three Reed ; fully one quarter of them were related to Captain Parker in some way . This group of militiamen was part of Lexington 's `` training band '' , a way of organizing local militias dating back to the Puritans , and not what was styled a minuteman company . After having waited most of the night with no sign of any British troops ( and wondering if Paul Revere 's warning was true ) , at about 4 : 15 a.m. , Parker got his confirmation . Thaddeus Bowman , the last scout that Parker had sent out , rode up at a gallop and told him that they were not only coming , but coming in force and they were close . Captain Parker was clearly aware that he was outmatched in the confrontation and was not prepared to sacrifice his men for no purpose . He knew that most of the colonists ' powder and military supplies at Concord had already been hidden . No war had been declared . ( The Declaration of Independence was a year in the future . ) He also knew the British had gone on such expeditions before in Massachusetts , found nothing , and marched back to Boston . Parker had every reason to expect that to occur again . The Regulars would march to Concord , find nothing , and return to Boston , tired but empty - handed . He positioned his company carefully . He placed them in parade - ground formation , on Lexington Common . They were in plain sight ( not hiding behind walls ) , but not blocking the road to Concord . They made a show of political and military determination , but no effort to prevent the march of the Regulars . Many years later , one of the participants recalled Parker 's words as being what is now engraved in stone at the site of the battle : `` Stand your ground ; do n't fire unless fired upon , but if they mean to have a war , let it begin here . '' According to Parker 's sworn deposition taken after the battle : I ... ordered our Militia to meet on the Common in said Lexington to consult what to do , and concluded not to be discovered , nor meddle or make with said Regular Troops ( if they should approach ) unless they should insult or molest us ; and , upon their sudden Approach , I immediately ordered our Militia to disperse , and not to fire : -- Immediately said Troops made their appearance and rushed furiously , fired upon , and killed eight of our Party without receiving any Provocation therefor from us . -- John Parker Rather than turn left towards Concord , Marine Lieutenant Jesse Adair , at the head of the advance guard , decided on his own to protect the flank of the British column by first turning right and then leading the companies onto the Common itself , in a confused effort to surround and disarm the militia . Major Pitcairn arrived from the rear of the advance force and led his three companies to the left and halted them . The remaining companies under Colonel Smith lay further down the road toward Boston . First shot A British officer ( probably Pitcairn , but accounts are uncertain , as it may also have been Lieutenant William Sutherland ) then rode forward , waving his sword , and called out for the assembled militia to disperse , and may also have ordered them to `` lay down your arms , you damned rebels ! '' Captain Parker told his men instead to disperse and go home , but , because of the confusion , the yelling all around , and due to the raspiness of Parker 's tubercular voice , some did not hear him , some left very slowly , and none laid down their arms . Both Parker and Pitcairn ordered their men to hold fire , but a shot was fired from an unknown source . The first of four engravings by Amos Doolittle from 1775 . Doolittle visited the battle sites and interviewed soldiers and witnesses . Contains controversial elements , possibly inaccuracies . Fire from the militia may have occurred but is not depicted . ( A ) t 5 o'clock we arrived ( in Lexington ) , and saw a number of people , I believe between 200 and 300 , formed in a common in the middle of town ; we still continued advancing , keeping prepared against an attack though without intending to attack them ; but on our coming near them they fired on us two shots , upon which our men without any orders , rushed upon them , fired and put them to flight ; several of them were killed , we could not tell how many , because they were behind walls and into the woods . We had a man of the 10th light Infantry wounded , nobody else was hurt . We then formed on the Common , but with some difficulty , the men were so wild they could hear no orders ; we waited a considerable time there , and at length proceeded our way to Concord . -- Lieutenant John Barker , 4th Regiment of Foot According to one member of Parker 's militia , none of the Americans had discharged their muskets as they faced the oncoming British troops . The British did suffer one casualty , a slight wound , the particulars of which were corroborated by a deposition made by Corporal John Munroe . Munroe stated that : After the first fire of the regulars , I thought , and so stated to Ebenezer Munroe ... who stood next to me on the left , that they had fired nothing but powder ; but on the second firing , Munroe stated they had fired something more than powder , for he had received a wound in his arm ; and now , said he , to use his own words , ' I 'll give them the guts of my gun . ' We then both took aim at the main body of British troops the smoke preventing our seeing anything but the heads of some of their horses and discharged our pieces . Some witnesses among the regulars reported the first shot was fired by a colonial onlooker from behind a hedge or around the corner of a tavern . Some observers reported a mounted British officer firing first . Both sides generally agreed that the initial shot did not come from the men on the ground immediately facing each other . Speculation arose later in Lexington that a man named Solomon Brown fired the first shot from inside the tavern or from behind a wall , but this has been discredited . Some witnesses ( on each side ) claimed that someone on the other side fired first ; however , many more witnesses claimed to not know . Yet another theory is that the first shot was one fired by the British , that killed Asahel Porter , their prisoner who was running away ( he had been told to walk away and he would be let go , though he panicked and began to run ) . Historian David Hackett Fischer has proposed that there may actually have been multiple near - simultaneous shots . Historian Mark Urban claims the British surged forward with bayonets ready in an undisciplined way , provoking a few scattered shots from the militia . In response the British troops , without orders , fired a devastating volley . This lack of discipline among the British troops had a key role in the escalation of violence . Witnesses at the scene described several intermittent shots fired from both sides before the lines of regulars began to fire volleys without receiving orders to do so . A few of the militiamen believed at first that the regulars were only firing powder with no ball , but when they realized the truth , few if any of the militia managed to load and return fire . The rest ran for their lives . We Nathaniel Mulliken , Philip Russell , ( and 32 other men ... ) do testify and declare , that on the nineteenth in the morning , being informed that ... a body of regulars were marching from Boston towards Concord ... About five o'clock in the morning , hearing our drum beat , we proceeded towards the parade , and soon found that a large body of troops were marching towards us , some of our company were coming to the parade , and others had reached it , at which time , the company began to disperse , whilst our backs were turned on the troops , we were fired on by them , and a number of our men were instantly killed and wounded , not a gun was fired by any person in our company on the regulars to our knowledge before they fired on us , and continued firing until we had all made our escape . The regulars then charged forward with bayonets . Captain Parker 's cousin Jonas was run through . Eight Lexington men were killed , and ten were wounded . The only British casualty was a soldier who was wounded in the thigh . The eight colonists killed were John Brown , Samuel Hadley , Caleb Harrington , Jonathon Harrington , Robert Munroe , Isaac Muzzey , Asahel Porter , and Jonas Parker . Jonathon Harrington , fatally wounded by a British musket ball , managed to crawl back to his home , and died on his own doorstep . One wounded man , Prince Estabrook , was a black slave who was serving in the militia . The companies under Pitcairn 's command got beyond their officers ' control in part because they were unaware of the actual purpose of the day 's mission . They fired in different directions and prepared to enter private homes . Colonel Smith , who was just arriving with the remainder of the regulars , heard the musket fire and rode forward from the grenadier column to see the action . He quickly found a drummer and ordered him to beat assembly . The grenadiers arrived shortly thereafter , and once order was restored among the soldiers , the light infantry were permitted to fire a victory volley , after which the column was reformed and marched on toward Concord . Concord The second of four engravings by Amos Doolittle from 1775 , depicting the British entering Concord In response to the raised alarm , the militiamen of Concord and Lincoln had mustered in Concord . They received reports of firing at Lexington , and were not sure whether to wait until they could be reinforced by troops from towns nearby , or to stay and defend the town , or to move east and greet the British Army from superior terrain . A column of militia marched down the road toward Lexington to meet the British , traveling about 1.5 miles ( 2 km ) until they met the approaching column of regulars . As the regulars numbered about 700 and the militia at this time only numbered about 250 , the militia column turned around and marched back into Concord , preceding the regulars by a distance of about 500 yards ( 457 m ) . The militia retreated to a ridge overlooking the town , and their officers discussed what to do next . Caution prevailed , and Colonel James Barrett withdrew from the town of Concord and led the men across the North Bridge to a hill about a mile north of town , where they could continue to watch the troop movements of the British and the activities in the center of town . This step proved fortuitous , as the ranks of the militia continued to grow as minuteman companies arriving from the western towns joined them there . The search for militia supplies When the British troops arrived in the village of Concord , Lt. Col. Smith divided them to carry out Gage 's orders . The 10th Regiment 's company of grenadiers secured South Bridge under Captain Mundy Pole , while seven companies of light infantry under Captain Parsons , numbering about 100 , secured the North Bridge , where they were visible across the cleared fields to the assembling militia companies . Captain Parsons took four companies from the 5th , 23rd , 38th and 52nd Regiments up the road 2 miles ( 3.2 km ) beyond the North Bridge to search Barrett 's Farm , where intelligence indicated supplies would be found . Two companies from the 4th and 10th Regiments were stationed to guard their return route , and one company from the 43rd remained guarding the bridge itself . These companies , which were under the relatively inexperienced command of Captain Walter Laurie , were aware that they were significantly outnumbered by the 400 - plus militiamen . The concerned Captain Laurie sent a messenger to Lt. Col. Smith requesting reinforcements . Using detailed information provided by Loyalist spies , the grenadier companies searched the small town for military supplies . When they arrived at Ephraim Jones 's tavern , by the jail on the South Bridge road , they found the door barred shut , and Jones refused them entry . According to reports provided by local Loyalists , Pitcairn knew cannon had been buried on the property . Jones was ordered at gunpoint to show where the guns were buried . These turned out to be three massive pieces , firing 24 - pound shot , that were much too heavy to use defensively , but very effective against fortifications , with sufficient range to bombard the city of Boston from other parts of nearby mainland . The grenadiers smashed the trunnions of these three guns so they could not be mounted . They also burned some gun carriages found in the village meetinghouse , and when the fire spread to the meetinghouse itself , local resident Martha Moulton persuaded the soldiers to help in a bucket brigade to save the building . Nearly a hundred barrels of flour and salted food were thrown into the millpond , as were 550 pounds of musket balls . Of the damage done , only that done to the cannon was significant . All of the shot and much of the food was recovered after the British left . During the search , the regulars were generally scrupulous in their treatment of the locals , including paying for food and drink consumed . This excessive politeness was used to advantage by the locals , who were able to misdirect searches from several smaller caches of militia supplies . Barrett 's Farm had been an arsenal weeks before , but few weapons remained now , and according to family legend , these were quickly buried in furrows to look like a crop had been planted . The troops sent there did not find any supplies of consequence . The North bridge The reconstructed North Bridge in Minute Man National Historical Park , Concord Colonel Barrett 's troops , upon seeing smoke rising from the village square as the British burned cannon carriages , and seeing only a few light infantry companies directly below them , decided to march back toward the town from their vantage point on Punkatasset Hill to a lower , closer flat hilltop about 300 yards ( 274 m ) from the North Bridge . As the militia advanced , the two British companies from the 4th and 10th Regiments that held the position near the road retreated to the bridge and yielded the hill to Barrett 's men . Five full companies of Minutemen and five more of militia from Acton , Concord , Bedford and Lincoln occupied this hill as more groups of men streamed in , totaling at least 400 against Captain Laurie 's light infantry companies , a force totaling 90 -- 95 men . Barrett ordered the Massachusetts men to form one long line two abreast on the highway leading down to the bridge , and then he called for another consultation . While overlooking North Bridge from the top of the hill , Barrett , Lt. Col. John Robinson of Westford and the other Captains discussed possible courses of action . Captain Isaac Davis of Acton , whose troops had arrived late , declared his willingness to defend a town not their own by saying , `` I 'm not afraid to go , and I have n't a man that 's afraid to go . '' Barrett told the men to load their weapons but not to fire unless fired upon , and then ordered them to advance . Laurie ordered the British companies guarding the bridge to retreat across it . One officer then tried to pull up the loose planks of the bridge to impede the colonial advance , but Major Buttrick began to yell at the regulars to stop harming the bridge . The Minutemen and militia from Concord , Acton and a handful of Westford Minutemen , advanced in column formation , two by two , led by Major Buttrick , Lt. Col. Robinson , then Capt . Davis , on the light infantry , keeping to the road , since it was surrounded by the spring floodwaters of the Concord River . The third of four engravings by Amos Doolittle from 1775 , depicting the engagement at the North Bridge Captain Laurie then made a poor tactical decision . Since his summons for help had not produced any results , he ordered his men to form positions for `` street firing '' behind the bridge in a column running perpendicular to the river . This formation was appropriate for sending a large volume of fire into a narrow alley between the buildings of a city , but not for an open path behind a bridge . Confusion reigned as regulars retreating over the bridge tried to form up in the street - firing position of the other troops . Lieutenant Sutherland , who was in the rear of the formation , saw Laurie 's mistake and ordered flankers to be sent out . But as he was from a company different from the men under his command , only three soldiers obeyed him . The remainder tried as best they could in the confusion to follow the orders of the superior officer . A shot rang out . It was likely a warning shot fired by a panicked , exhausted British soldier from the 43rd , according to Captain Laurie 's report to his commander after the fight . Two other regulars then fired immediately after that , shots splashing in the river , and then the narrow group up front , possibly thinking the order to fire had been given , fired a ragged volley before Laurie could stop them . Two of the Acton Minutemen , Private Abner Hosmer and Captain Isaac Davis , who were at the head of the line marching to the bridge , were hit and killed instantly . Rev. Dr. Ripley recalled : The Americans commenced their march in double file ... In a minute or two , the Americans being in quick motion and within ten or fifteen rods of the bridge , a single gun was fired by a British soldier , which marked the way , passing under Col. Robinson 's arm and slightly wounding the side of Luther Blanchard , a fifer , in the Acton Company . Four more men were wounded . Major Buttrick then yelled to the militia , `` Fire , for God 's sake , fellow soldiers , fire ! '' At this point the lines were separated by the Concord River and the bridge , and were only 50 yards ( 46 m ) apart . The few front rows of colonists , bound by the road and blocked from forming a line of fire , managed to fire over each other 's heads and shoulders at the regulars massed across the bridge . Four of the eight British officers and sergeants , who were leading from the front of their troops , were wounded by the volley of musket fire . At least three privates ( Thomas Smith , Patrick Gray , and James Hall , all from the 4th ) were killed or mortally wounded , and nine were wounded . In 1824 , Reverend and Minuteman Joseph Thaxter wrote : I was an eyewitness to the following facts . The people of Westford and Acton , some few of Concord , were the first who faced the British at Concord bridge . The British had placed about ninety men as a guard at the North Bridge ; we had then no certain information that any had been killed at Lexington , we saw the British making destruction in the town of Concord ; it was proposed to advance to the bridge ; on this Colonel Robinson , of Westford , together with Major Buttrick , took the lead ; strict orders were given not to fire , unless the British fired first ; when they advanced about halfway on the causeway the British fired one gun , a second , a third , and then the whole body ; they killed Colonel Davis , of Acton , and a Mr. Hosmer . Our people then fired over one another 's heads , being in a long column , two and two ; they killed two and wounded eleven . Lieutenant Hawkstone , said to be the greatest beauty of the British army , had his cheeks so badly wounded that it disfigured him much , of which he bitterly complained . On this , the British fled , and assembled on the hill , the north side of Concord , and dressed their wounded , and then began their retreat . As they descended the hill near the road that comes out from Bedford they were pursued ; Colonel Bridge , with a few men from Bedford and Chelmsford , came up , and killed several men . The regulars found themselves trapped in a situation where they were both outnumbered and outmaneuvered . Lacking effective leadership and terrified at the superior numbers of the enemy , with their spirit broken , and likely not having experienced combat before , they abandoned their wounded , and fled to the safety of the approaching grenadier companies coming from the town center , isolating Captain Parsons and the companies searching for arms at Barrett 's Farm . After the fight Statue memorializing the battle at the North Bridge , inscribed with verse from Emerson 's `` Concord Hymn '' The colonists were stunned by their success . No one had actually believed either side would shoot to kill the other . Some advanced ; many more retreated ; and some went home to see to the safety of their homes and families . Colonel Barrett eventually began to recover control . He moved some of the militia back to the hilltop 300 yards ( 274 m ) away and sent Major Buttrick with others across the bridge to a defensive position on a hill behind a stone wall . Lieutenant Colonel Smith heard the exchange of fire from his position in the town moments after he received the request for reinforcements from Laurie . He quickly assembled two companies of grenadiers to lead toward the North Bridge himself . As these troops marched , they met the shattered remnants of the three light infantry companies running towards them . Smith was concerned about the four companies that had been at Barrett 's , since their route to town was now unprotected . When he saw the Minutemen in the distance behind their wall , he halted his two companies and moved forward with only his officers to take a closer look . One of the Minutemen behind that wall observed , `` If we had fired , I believe we could have killed almost every officer there was in the front , but we had no orders to fire and there was n't a gun fired . '' During a tense standoff lasting about 10 minutes , a mentally ill local man named Elias Brown wandered through both sides selling hard cider . At this point , the detachment of regulars sent to Barrett 's farm marched back from their fruitless search of that area . They passed through the now mostly - deserted battlefield , and saw dead and wounded comrades lying on the bridge . There was one who looked to them as if he had been scalped , which angered and shocked the British soldiers . They crossed the bridge and returned to the town by 11 : 30 a.m. , under the watchful eyes of the colonists , who continued to maintain defensive positions . The regulars continued to search for and destroy colonial military supplies in the town , ate lunch , reassembled for marching , and left Concord after noon . This delay in departure gave colonial militiamen from outlying towns additional time to reach the road back to Boston . Return march Concord to Lexington A National Park Service map showing the retreat from Concord and Percy 's rescue Lieutenant Colonel Smith , concerned about the safety of his men , sent flankers to follow a ridge and protect his forces from the roughly 1,000 colonials now in the field as the British marched east out of Concord . This ridge ended near Meriam 's Corner , a crossroads about a mile ( 2 km ) outside the village of Concord , where the main road came to a bridge across a small stream . To cross the narrow bridge , the British had to pull the flankers back into the main column and close ranks to a mere three soldiers abreast . Colonial militia companies arriving from the north and east had converged at this point , and presented a clear numerical advantage over the regulars . The British were now witnessing once again what General Gage had hoped to avoid by dispatching the expedition in secrecy and in the dark of night : the ability of the colonial militiamen to rise and converge by the thousands when British forces ventured out of Boston . As the last of the British column marched over the narrow bridge , the British rear guard wheeled and fired a volley at the colonial militiamen , who had been firing irregularly and ineffectively from a distance but now had closed to within musket range . The colonists returned fire , this time with deadly effect . Two regulars were killed and perhaps six wounded , with no colonial casualties. Smith sent out his flanking troops again after crossing the small bridge . On Brooks Hill ( also known as Hardy 's Hill ) about 1 mile ( 1.6 km ) past Meriam 's Corner , nearly 500 militiamen had assembled to the south of the road , awaiting opportunity to fire down upon the British column on the road below . Smith 's leading forces charged up the hill to drive them off , but the colonists did not withdraw , inflicting significant casualties on the attackers. Smith withdrew his men from Brooks Hill , and the column continued on to another small bridge into Lincoln , at Brooks Tavern , where more militia companies intensified the attack from the north side of the road . This statue known as The Lexington Minuteman is commonly believed to depict Captain John Parker . It is by Henry Hudson Kitson and stands at the town green of Lexington , Massachusetts . The regulars soon reached a point in the road now referred to as the `` Bloody Angle '' where the road rises and curves sharply to the left through a lightly - wooded area . At this place , the militia company from Woburn had positioned themselves on the southeast side of the bend in the road in a rocky , lightly - wooded field . Additional militia flowing parallel to the road from the engagement at Meriam 's Corner positioned themselves on the northwest side of the road , catching the British in a crossfire , while other militia companies on the road closed from behind to attack . Some 500 yards ( 460 m ) further along , the road took another sharp curve , this time to the right , and again the British column was caught by another large force of militiamen firing from both sides . In passing through these two sharp curves , the British force lost thirty soldiers killed or wounded , and four colonial militia were also killed , including Captain Jonathan Wilson of Bedford , Captain Nathan Wyman of Billerica , Lt. John Bacon of Natick , and Daniel Thompson of Woburn . The British soldiers escaped by breaking into a trot , a pace that the colonials could not maintain through the woods and swampy terrain . Colonial forces on the road itself behind the British were too densely packed and disorganized to mount more than a harassing attack from the rear . As militia forces from other towns continued to arrive , the colonial forces had risen to about 2,000 men . The road now straightened to the east , with cleared fields and orchards along the sides . Lt. Col. Smith sent out flankers again , who succeeded in trapping some militia from behind and inflicting casualties . British casualties were also mounting from these engagements and from persistent long - range fire from the militiamen , and the exhausted British were running out of ammunition . When the British column neared the boundary between Lincoln and Lexington , it encountered another ambush from a hill overlooking the road , set by Captain John Parker 's Lexington militiamen , including some of them bandaged up from the encounter in Lexington earlier in the day . At this point , Lt. Col. Smith was wounded in the thigh and knocked from his horse . Major John Pitcairn assumed effective command of the column and sent light infantry companies up the hill to clear the militia forces . The light infantry cleared two additional hills as the column continued east -- `` The Bluff '' and `` Fiske Hill '' -- and took still more casualties from ambushes set by fresh militia companies joining the battle . In one of the musket volleys from the colonial soldiers , Major Pitcairn 's horse bolted in fright , throwing Pitcairn to the ground and injuring his arm . Now both principal leaders of the expedition were injured or unhorsed , and their men were tired , thirsty , and exhausting their ammunition . A few surrendered or were captured ; some now broke formation and ran forward toward Lexington . In the words of one British officer , `` we began to run rather than retreat in order ... We attempted to stop the men and form them two deep , but to no purpose , the confusion increased rather than lessened ... the officers got to the front and presented their bayonets , and told the men if they advanced they should die . Upon this , they began to form up under heavy fire . '' Only one British officer remained uninjured among the three companies at the head of the British column as it approach Lexington Center . He understood the column 's perilous situation : `` There were very few men had any ammunition left , and so fatigued that we could not keep flanking parties out , so that we must soon have laid down our arms , or been picked off by the Rebels at their pleasure -- nearer to -- and we were not able to keep them off . '' He then heard cheering further ahead . A full brigade , about 1,000 men with artillery under the command of Earl Percy , had arrived to rescue them . It was about 2 : 30 p.m. , and the British column had now been on the march since 2 o'clock in the morning . Westford Minuteman , Rev. Joseph Thaxter , wrote of his account : We pursued them and killed some ; when they got to Lexington , they were so close pursued and fatigued , that they must have soon surrendered , had not Lord Percy met them with a large reinforcement and two field - pieces . They fired them , but the balls went high over our heads . But no cannon ever did more execution , such stories of their effects had been spread by the tories through our troops , that from this time more wont back than pursed . We pursued to Charlestown Common , and then retired to Cambridge . When the army collected at Cambridge , Colonel Prescott with his regiment of minute men , and John Robinson , his Lieutenant Colonel , were prompt at being at their post . In their accounts afterward , British officers and soldiers alike noted their frustration that the colonial militiamen fired at them from behind trees and stone walls , rather than confronting them in large , linear formations in the style of European warfare . This image of the individual colonial farmer , musket in hand and fighting under his own command , has also been fostered in American myth : `` Chasing the red - coats down the lane / Then crossing the fields to emerge again / Under the trees at the turn of the road , / And only pausing to fire and load . '' To the contrary , beginning at the North Bridge and throughout the British retreat , the colonial militias repeatedly operated as coordinated companies , even when dispersed to take advantage of cover . Reflecting on the British experience that day , Earl Percy understood the significance of the American tactics : During the whole affair the Rebels attacked us in a very scattered , irregular manner , but with perseverance & resolution , nor did they ever dare to form into any regular body . Indeed , they knew too well what was proper , to do so . Whoever looks upon them as an irregular mob , will find himself much mistaken . They have men amongst them who know very well what they are about , having been employed as Rangers against the Indians & Canadians , & this country being much covered with wood , and hilly , is very advantageous for their method of fighting . Percy 's rescue The fourth of four engravings by Amos Doolittle from 1775 , showing Percy 's rescue in Lexington General Gage had anticipated that Lt. Col. Smith 's expedition might require reinforcement , so Gage drafted orders for reinforcing units to assemble in Boston at 4 a.m. But in his obsession for secrecy , Gage had sent only one copy of the orders to the adjutant of the 1st Brigade , whose servant then left the envelope on a table . Also at about 4 a.m. , the British column was within three miles of Lexington , and Lt. Col. Smith now had clear indication that all element of surprise had been lost and that alarm was spreading throughout the countryside . So he sent a rider back to Boston with a request for reinforcements . At about 5 a.m. , the rider reached Boston , and the 1st Brigade was ordered to assemble : the line infantry companies of the 4th , 23rd , and 47th Regiments , and a battalion of Royal Marines , under the command of Earl Percy . Unfortunately for the British , once again only one copy of the orders were sent to each commander , and the order for the Royal Marines was delivered to the desk of Major John Pitcairn , who was already on the Lexington Common with Smith 's column at that hour . After these delays , Percy 's brigade , about 1,000 strong , left Boston at about 8 : 45 a.m. , headed toward Lexington . Along the way , the story is told , they marched to the tune of `` Yankee Doodle '' to taunt the inhabitants of the area . By the Battle of Bunker Hill less than two months later , the song would become a popular anthem for the colonial forces . Percy took the land route across Boston Neck and over the Great Bridge , which some quick - thinking colonists had stripped of its planking to delay the British . His men then came upon an absent - minded tutor at Harvard College and asked him which road would take them to Lexington . The Harvard man , apparently oblivious to the reality of what was happening around him , showed him the proper road without thinking . ( He was later compelled to leave the country for inadvertently supporting the enemy . ) Percy 's troops arrived in Lexington at about 2 : 00 p.m. They could hear gunfire in the distance as they set up their cannon and deployed lines of regulars on high ground with commanding views of the town . Colonel Smith 's men approached like a fleeing mob with the full complement of colonial militia in close formation pursuing them . Percy ordered his artillery to open fire at extreme range , dispersing the colonial militiamen. Smith 's men collapsed with exhaustion once they reached the safety of Percy 's lines . Against the advice of his Master of Ordnance , Percy had left Boston without spare ammunition for his men or for the two artillery pieces they brought with them , thinking the extra wagons would slow him down . Each man in Percy 's brigade had only 36 rounds , and each artillery piece was supplied with only a few rounds carried in side - boxes . After Percy had left the city , Gage directed two ammunition wagons guarded by one officer and thirteen men to follow . This convoy was intercepted by a small party of older , veteran militiamen still on the `` alarm list , '' who could not join their militia companies because they were well over 60 years of age . These men rose up in ambush and demanded the surrender of the wagons , but the regulars ignored them and drove their horses on . The old men opened fire , shot the lead horses , killed two sergeants , and wounded the officer . The British survivors ran , and six of them threw their weapons into a pond before they surrendered . Lexington to Menotomy Percy 's return to Charlestown ( detail from 1775 map of the battle ) Percy assumed control of the combined forces of about 1,700 men and let them rest , eat , drink , and have their wounds tended at field headquarters ( Munroe Tavern ) before resuming the march . They set out from Lexington at about 3 : 30 p.m. , in a formation that emphasized defense along the sides and rear of the column . Wounded regulars rode on the cannon and were forced to hop off when they were fired at by gatherings of militia . Percy 's men were often surrounded , but they had the tactical advantage of interior lines . Percy could shift his units more easily to where they were needed , while the colonial militia were required to move around the outside of his formation . Percy placed Smith 's men in the middle of the column , while the 23rd Regiment 's line companies made up the column 's rear guard . Because of information provided by Smith and Pitcairn about how the Americans were attacking , Percy ordered the rear guard to be rotated every mile or so , to allow some of his troops to rest briefly . Flanking companies were sent to both sides of the road , and a powerful force of Marines acted as the vanguard to clear the road ahead . During the respite at Lexington , Brigadier General William Heath arrived and took command of the militia . Earlier in the day , he had traveled first to Watertown to discuss tactics with Joseph Warren , who had left Boston that morning , and other members of the Massachusetts Committee of Safety . Heath and Warren reacted to Percy 's artillery and flankers by ordering the militiamen to avoid close formations that would attract cannon fire . Instead , they surrounded Percy 's marching square with a moving ring of skirmishers at a distance to inflict maximum casualties at minimum risk . A few mounted militiamen on the road would dismount , fire muskets at the approaching regulars , then remount and gallop ahead to repeat the tactic . Unmounted militia would often fire from long range , in the hope of hitting somebody in the main column of soldiers on the road and surviving , since both British and colonials used muskets with an effective combat range of about 50 yards ( 46 m ) . Infantry units would apply pressure to the sides of the British column . When it moved out of range , those units would move around and forward to re-engage the column further down the road . Heath sent messengers out to intercept arriving militia units , directing them to appropriate places along the road to engage the regulars . Some towns sent supply wagons to assist in feeding and rearming the militia . Heath and Warren did lead skirmishers in small actions into battle themselves , but it was the presence of effective leadership that probably had the greatest impact on the success of these tactics . Percy wrote of the colonial tactics , `` The rebels attacked us in a very scattered , irregular manner , but with perseverance and resolution , nor did they ever dare to form into any regular body . Indeed , they knew too well what was proper , to do so . Whoever looks upon them as an irregular mob , will find himself very much mistaken . '' The Jason Russell House in Arlington The fighting grew more intense as Percy 's forces crossed from Lexington into Menotomy . Fresh militia poured gunfire into the British ranks from a distance , and individual homeowners began to fight from their own property . Some homes were also used as sniper positions , turning the situation into a soldier 's nightmare : house - to - house fighting . Jason Russell pleaded for his friends to fight alongside him to defend his house by saying , `` An Englishman 's home is his castle . '' He stayed and was killed in his doorway . His friends , depending on which account is to be believed , either hid in the cellar , or died in the house from bullets and bayonets after shooting at the soldiers who followed them in . The Jason Russell House still stands and contains bullet holes from this fight . A militia unit that attempted an ambush from Russell 's orchard was caught by flankers , and eleven men were killed , some allegedly after they had surrendered . Percy lost control of his men , and British soldiers began to commit atrocities to repay for the supposed scalping at the North Bridge and for their own casualties at the hands of a distant , often unseen enemy . Based on the word of Pitcairn and other wounded officers from Smith 's command , Percy had learned that the Minutemen were using stone walls , trees and buildings in these more thickly settled towns closer to Boston to hide behind and shoot at the column . He ordered the flank companies to clear the colonial militiamen out of such places . Many of the junior officers in the flank parties had difficulty stopping their exhausted , enraged men from killing everyone they found inside these buildings . For example , two innocent drunks who refused to hide in the basement of a tavern in Menotomy were killed only because they were suspected of being involved with the day 's events . Although many of the accounts of ransacking and burnings were exaggerated later by the colonists for propaganda value ( and to get financial compensation from the colonial government ) , it is certainly true that taverns along the road were ransacked and the liquor stolen by the troops , who in some cases became drunk themselves . One church 's communion silver was stolen but was later recovered after it was sold in Boston . Aged Menotomy resident Samuel Whittemore killed three regulars before he was attacked by a British contingent and left for dead . ( He recovered from his wounds and later died in 1793 at age 98 . ) All told , far more blood was shed in Menotomy and Cambridge than elsewhere that day . The colonists lost 25 men killed and nine wounded there , and the British lost 40 killed and 80 wounded , with the 47th Foot and the Marines suffering the highest casualties . Each was about half the day 's fatalities . Menotomy to Charlestown The British troops crossed the Menotomy River ( today known as Alewife Brook ) into Cambridge , and the fight grew more intense . Fresh militia arrived in close array instead of in a scattered formation , and Percy used his two artillery pieces and flankers at a crossroads called Watson 's Corner to inflict heavy damage on them . Earlier in the day , Heath had ordered the Great Bridge to be dismantled . Percy 's brigade was about to approach the broken - down bridge and a riverbank filled with militia when Percy directed his troops down a narrow track ( now Beech Street , near present - day Porter Square ) and onto the road to Charlestown . The militia ( now numbering about 4,000 ) were unprepared for this movement , and the circle of fire was broken . An American force moved to occupy Prospect Hill ( in modern - day Somerville ) , which dominated the road , but Percy moved his cannon to the front and dispersed them with his last rounds of ammunition . A large militia force arrived from Salem and Marblehead . They might have cut off Percy 's route to Charlestown , but these men halted on nearby Winter Hill and allowed the British to escape . Some accused the commander of this force , Colonel Timothy Pickering , of permitting the troops to pass because he still hoped to avoid war by preventing a total defeat of the regulars . Pickering later claimed that he had stopped on Heath 's orders , but Heath denied this . It was nearly dark when Pitcairn 's Marines defended a final attack on Percy 's rear as they entered Charlestown . The regulars took up strong positions on the hills of Charlestown . Some of them had been without sleep for two days and had marched 40 miles ( 64 km ) in 21 hours , eight hours of which had been spent under fire . But now they held high ground protected by heavy guns from HMS Somerset . Gage quickly sent over line companies of two fresh regiments -- the 10th and 64th -- to occupy the high ground in Charlestown and build fortifications . Although they were begun , the fortifications were never completed and would later be a starting point for the militia works built two months later in June before the Battle of Bunker Hill . General Heath studied the position of the British Army and decided to withdraw the militia to Cambridge . Aftermath The Siege of Boston 1775 -- 1776 In the morning , Boston was surrounded by a huge militia army , numbering over 15,000 , which had marched from throughout New England . Unlike the Powder Alarm , the rumors of spilled blood were true , and the Revolutionary War had begun . Now under the leadership of General Artemas Ward , who arrived on the 20th and replaced Brigadier General William Heath , they formed a siege line extending from Chelsea , around the peninsulas of Boston and Charlestown , to Roxbury , effectively surrounding Boston on three sides . In the days immediately following , the size of the colonial forces grew , as militias from New Hampshire , Rhode Island , and Connecticut arrived on the scene . The Second Continental Congress adopted these men into the beginnings of the Continental Army . Even now , after open warfare had started , Gage still refused to impose martial law in Boston . He persuaded the town 's selectmen to surrender all private weapons in return for promising that any inhabitant could leave town . The battle was not a major one in terms of tactics or casualties . However , in terms of supporting the British political strategy behind the Intolerable Acts and the military strategy behind the Powder Alarms , the battle was a significant failure because the expedition contributed to the fighting it was intended to prevent , and because few weapons were actually seized . The battle was followed by a war for British political opinion . Within four days of the battle , the Massachusetts Provincial Congress had collected scores of sworn testimonies from militiamen and from British prisoners . When word leaked out a week after the battle that Gage was sending his official description of events to London , the Provincial Congress sent a packet of these detailed depositions , signed by over 100 participants in the events , on a faster ship . The documents were presented to a sympathetic official and printed by the London newspapers two weeks before Gage 's report arrived . Gage 's official report was too vague on particulars to influence anyone 's opinion . George Germain , no friend of the colonists , wrote , `` the Bostonians are in the right to make the King 's troops the aggressors and claim a victory . '' Politicians in London tended to blame Gage for the conflict instead of their own policies and instructions . The British troops in Boston variously blamed General Gage and Colonel Smith for the failures at Lexington and Concord . The day after the battle , John Adams left his home in Braintree to ride along the battlefields . He became convinced that `` the Die was cast , the Rubicon crossed . '' Thomas Paine in Philadelphia had previously thought of the argument between the colonies and the Home Country as `` a kind of law - suit '' , but after news of the battle reached him , he `` rejected the hardened , sullen - tempered Pharaoh of England forever . '' George Washington received the news at Mount Vernon and wrote to a friend , `` the once - happy and peaceful plains of America are either to be drenched in blood or inhabited by slaves . Sad alternative ! But can a virtuous man hesitate in his choice ? '' A group of hunters on the frontier named their campsite Lexington when they heard news of the battle in June . It eventually became the city of Lexington , Kentucky . Legacy Gravemarkers along Battle Road in Lexington are maintained with Britain 's 1775 version of the Union Flag . It was important to the early American government that an image of British fault and American innocence be maintained for this first battle of the war . The history of Patriot preparations , intelligence , warning signals , and uncertainty about the first shot was rarely discussed in the public sphere for decades . The story of the wounded British soldier at the North Bridge , hors de combat , struck down on the head by a Minuteman using a hatchet , the purported `` scalping '' , was strongly suppressed . Depositions mentioning some of these activities were not published and were returned to the participants ( this notably happened to Paul Revere ) . Paintings portrayed the Lexington fight as an unjustified slaughter . The issue of which side was to blame grew during the early nineteenth century . For example , older participants ' testimony in later life about Lexington and Concord differed greatly from their depositions taken under oath in 1775 . All now said the British fired first at Lexington , whereas fifty or so years before , they were n't sure . All now said they fired back , but in 1775 , they said few were able to . The `` Battle '' took on an almost mythical quality in the American consciousness . Legend became more important than truth . A complete shift occurred , and the Patriots were portrayed as actively fighting for their cause , rather than as suffering innocents . Paintings of the Lexington skirmish began to portray the militia standing and fighting back in defiance . Ralph Waldo Emerson immortalized the events at the North Bridge in his 1837 `` Concord Hymn '' . The `` Concord Hymn '' became important because it commemorated the beginning of the American Revolution , and that for much of the 19th century it was a means by which Americans learned about the Revolution , helping to forge the identity of the nation . After 1860 , several generations of schoolchildren memorized Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 's poem `` Paul Revere 's Ride '' . Historically it is inaccurate ( for example , Paul Revere never made it to Concord ) , but it captures the idea that an individual can change the course of history . By the rude bridge that arched the flood Their flag to April 's breeze unfurled Here once the embattled farmers stood And fired the shot heard round the world . -- First verse of Emerson 's `` Concord Hymn '' In the 20th century , popular and historical opinion varied about the events of the historic day , often reflecting the political mood of the time . Isolationist anti-war sentiments before the World Wars bred skepticism about the nature of Paul Revere 's contribution ( if any ) to the efforts to rouse the militia . Anglophilia in the United States after the turn of the twentieth century led to more balanced approaches to the history of the battle . During World War I , a film about Paul Revere 's ride was seized under the Espionage Act of 1917 for promoting discord between the United States and Britain . During the Cold War , Revere was used not only as a patriotic symbol , but also as a capitalist one . In 1961 , novelist Howard Fast published April Morning , an account of the battle from a fictional 15 - year - old 's perspective , and reading of the book has been frequently assigned in American secondary schools . A film version was produced for television in 1987 , starring Chad Lowe and Tommy Lee Jones . In the 1990s , parallels were drawn between American tactics in the Vietnam War and those of the British Army at Lexington and Concord . The site of the battle in Lexington is now known as the Lexington Battle Green , has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places , and is a National Historic Landmark . Several memorials commemorating the battle have been established there . The lands surrounding the North Bridge in Concord , as well as approximately 5 miles ( 8.0 km ) of the road along with surrounding lands and period buildings between Meriam 's Corner and western Lexington are part of Minuteman National Historical Park . There are walking trails with interpretive displays along routes that the colonists might have used that skirted the road , and the Park Service often has personnel ( usually dressed in period dress ) offering descriptions of the area and explanations of the events of the day . A bronze bas relief of Major Buttrick , designed by Daniel Chester French and executed by Edmond Thomas Quinn in 1915 , is in the park , along with French 's Minute Man statue. The Civil War Trust , its members and partners have saved one acre of the battlefield at the site of Parker 's Revenge through the organization 's `` Campaign 1776 '' project to acquire and preserve battleground land of the Revolutionary War and War of 1812 . Four current units of the Massachusetts National Guard units ( 181st Infantry , 182nd Infantry , 101st Engineer Battalion , and 125th Quartermaster Company ) are derived from American units that participated in the Battles of Lexington and Concord . There are only thirty current units of the U.S. Army with colonial roots . Several ships of the United States Navy , including two World War II aircraft carriers , were named in honor of the Battle of Lexington . Commemorations Daniel Chester French 's Minute Man Patriots ' Day is celebrated annually in honor of the battle in Massachusetts , Maine , and by the Wisconsin public schools , on the third Monday in April . Re-enactments of Paul Revere 's ride are staged , as are the battle on the Lexington Green , and ceremonies and firings are held at the North Bridge . Centennial commemoration On April 19 , 1875 , President Ulysses S. Grant and members of his cabinet joined 50,000 people to mark the 100th anniversary of the battles . The sculpture by Daniel Chester French , The Minute Man , located at the North Bridge , was unveiled on that day . A formal ball took place in the evening at the Agricultural Hall in Concord . Sesquicentennial commemoration In April 1925 the United States Post Office issued three stamps commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Battles at Lexington and Concord . The Lexington -- Concord commemorative stamps were the first of many commemoratives issued to honor the 150th anniversaries of events that surrounded America 's War of Independence . The three stamps were first placed on sale in Washington , D.C. and in five Massachusetts cities and towns that played major roles in the Lexington and Concord story : Lexington , Concord , Boston , Cambridge , and Concord Junction ( as West Concord was then known ) . This is not to say that other locations were not involved in the battles . Washington at Cambridge Shot heard round the World Birth of Liberty , by Henry Sandham The Minute Man by Daniel Chester French Issues of 1925 Bicentennial commemoration 1970 Franklin Mint medallion commemorating Lexington and Concord 1775 The Town of Concord invited 700 prominent U.S. citizens and leaders from the worlds of government , the military , the diplomatic corps , the arts , sciences , and humanities to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the battles . On April 19 , 1975 , as a crowd estimated at 110,000 gathered to view a parade and celebrate the Bicentennial in Concord , President Gerald Ford delivered a major speech near the North Bridge , which was televised to the nation . Freedom was nourished in American soil because the principles of the Declaration of Independence flourished in our land . These principles , when enunciated 200 years ago , were a dream , not a reality . Today , they are real . Equality has matured in America . Our inalienable rights have become even more sacred . There is no government in our land without consent of the governed . Many other lands have freely accepted the principles of liberty and freedom in the Declaration of Independence and fashioned their own independent republics . It is these principles , freely taken and freely shared , that have revolutionized the world . The volley fired here at Concord two centuries ago , ' the shot heard round the world ' , still echoes today on this anniversary . -- President Gerald R. Ford President Ford laid a wreath at the base of The Minute Man statue and then respectfully observed as Sir Peter Ramsbotham , the British Ambassador to the United States , laid a wreath at the grave of British soldiers killed in the battle .

Coburn , p. 165 -- 67 , identifies 77 individuals by name who mustered for the encounter , but he also notes that no official roll was ever submitted to the Provincial Congress . Fischer , pp. 400 , 183 , cites contemporaneous accounts and those of other historians that put the number between 50 and 70 militia , but notes that Sylvanus Wood , in an account taken 50 years later , recalled only counting 38 militia . Jump up ^ Chidsey , p. 29 , estimates the colonial force at 500 by the time the confrontation occurred at the North Bridge . Coburn , pp. 80 -- 81 , counts about 300 specifically , plus several uncounted companies . Jump up ^ The peak strength of militias that massed around the British column on April 19 is uncertain . Many of the militiamen who joined the battle at various locations during the day continued to follow the British column all the way to Charlestown , but some also dropped out and returned home . Coburn located muster rolls for 79 militia and minute companies engaged that day , listing 3,960 officers and soldiers in all . But there are no tallies for six of these companies , and some units known to be present during the day ( such as the Lincoln militia company ) are not included at all . Jump up ^ Chidsey , p. 6 .

However , as Coburn notes , these rolls are not a complete tally of the militiamen present , because some muster lists were either not submitted or have not been found in archives . Jump up ^ Both the British and the local militias were armed with smooth - bore muskets that had an effective range of aimed fire of only 80 - 100 yards ( 75 - 90 m ) , although the musket ball could have serious effect at a greater distance , if it happened by chance to hit a person . There is no record that any soldiers on either side were armed with longer - range , more accurate rifles . Dr. Benjamin Church , a member of the Massachusetts Provincial Congress and the Committee of Safety , informed General Gage in March , 1775 , that the colonial militiamen `` from their adroitness in the habitual use of the firelock suppose themselves sure of their mark at a distance of 200 rods . '' Even if Church meant yards rather than rods ( 600 feet versus 3300 feet ) , it is unclear whether he was profoundly ignorant of the capabilities of a musket , was exaggerating in order to mislead Gage ( as Church later claimed when accused of being a spy ) , or was ridiculing the American militiamen .

Fischer notes conflicting accounts of which militia companies were engaged at this point , and the number of militiamen . Jump up ^ Fischer notes on p. 409 , `` This is not correctly called the Bloody Angle , an error term introduced after the Civil War that is both inaccurate and anachronistic . It has been used uncritically by many historians of the battle and is perpetuated by the National Park Service . '' The Interim Report of the Boston National Historic Sites Commission , submitted to Congress in 1958 in support of legislation that established the Minute Man National Historical Park , asserted that : `` Fittingly , this curving section of the road was soon to be named ' The Bloody Angle . ' '' ( p. 47 ; emphasis added ) . However , there is no evidence that the term Bloody Angle was ever used by the battle participants or local residents following April 19 , 1775 , nor did historians use the term prior to the mid-20th century . See Boston National Historic Sites Commission , The Lexington - Concord Battle Road : Interim Report , June 16 , 1958 . Jump up ^ Fischer , pp. 226 -- 227 Jump up ^ Fischer , p. 232 . According to one British officer , ammunition had been wasted earlier in the day out of `` too great eagerness of the soldiers in the first action of a war . Most of them were young soldiers who had never been in action , and had been taught that every thing was to be effected by a quick firing . This ineffectual fire gave the rebels more confidence , as they soon found that notwithstanding there was so much ( firing ) , they suffered but little from it . '' Lt.

Along with the other House officers , the Chief Administrative Officer is elected every two years when the House organizes for a new Congress . The majority and minority party conferences ( the Democratic Caucus of the United States House of Representatives and Republican Conference of the United States House of Representatives ) nominate candidates for the House officer positions after the election of the Speaker of the House . The full House adopts a resolution to elect the officers , who will begin serving the Membership after they have taken the oath of office . The office of the CAO was first created during the 104th Congress , which met from January 3 , 1995 to January 3 , 1997 . It replaced the position of the Doorkeeper of the United States House of Representatives , which was abolished at the same time . Scot Faulkner of West Virginia served as the first CAO . During his tenure he led the reform of the scandal - plagued House financial system , abolished the Folding Room , and privatized Postal operations , printing , and shoe repair . Mr. Faulkner 's office also implemented the first House Intranet ( CyberCongress ) and expanded digital camera coverage of the House Chamber and committee rooms . Faulkner 's reform efforts are chronicled in the books `` Naked Emperors '' ( Rowman & Littlefield Publishers , Inc . February 2008 ; ISBN 0 - 7425 - 5881 - 9 ) and `` Inside Congress '' ( Pocket Books August 1998 ISBN 0 - 671 - 00386 - 0 ) . In 2007 then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ( D - Calif . ) appointed Daniel P. Beard of Maryland as CAO . She tasked him to carrying out her Green the Capitol initiative , a move that would later prove not too popular with some Congressional Members . Beard also restructured divisions within CAO that handled such administrative functions as House payroll and benefits . - In July 2010 he handed the reins of the position over to Dan Strodel of Virginia , who prior to becoming CAO served as a senior adviser on the House Administration Committee . Strodel held the position until early 2014 when Ed Cassidy took over responsibilities . Cassidy retired from the position on December 31 , 2015 , and was replaced by Will Plaster . Plaster served as CAO until July 31 , 2016 . The current CAO , Phil Kiko , took office on August 1 , 2016 .

5616176182450103579 | ARINC 429 | ARINC 429 - wikipedia ARINC 429 Jump to : navigation , search ARINC 429 , `` Mark33 Digital Information Transfer System ( DITS ) , '' also known as Aeronautical Radio INC . ( ARINC ) is the technical standard for the predominant avionics data bus used on most higher - end commercial and transport aircraft . It defines the physical and electrical interfaces of a two - wire data bus and a data protocol to support an aircraft 's avionics local area network . Contents ( hide ) 1 Technical description 1.1 Medium and Signaling 1.2 Bit numbering , Transmission Order , and Bit Significance 1.3 Word format 2 Labels 3 Protection from interference 4 Development tools 5 See also 6 References 7 External links Technical description ( edit ) Medium and signaling ( edit ) ARINC 429 is a data transfer standard for aircraft avionics . It uses a self - clocking , self - synchronizing data bus protocol ( Tx and Rx are on separate ports ) . The physical connection wires are twisted pairs carrying balanced differential signaling . Data words are 32 bits in length and most messages consist of a single data word . Messages are transmitted at either 12.5 or 100 kbit / s to other system elements that are monitoring the bus messages . The transmitter constantly transmits either 32 - bit data words or the NULL state . A single wire pair is limited to one transmitter and no more than 20 receivers . The protocol allows for self - clocking at the receiver end , thus eliminating the need to transmit clocking data . ARINC 429 is an alternative to MIL - STD - 1553 . Bit numbering , transmission order , and bit significance ( edit ) The ARINC 429 unit of transmission is a fixed - length 32 - bit frame , which the standard refers to as a ' word ' . The bits within an ARINC 429 word are serially identified from Bit Number 1 to Bit Number 32 or simply Bit 1 to Bit 32 . The fields and data structures of the ARINC 429 word are defined in terms of this numbering . While it is common to illustrate serial protocol frames progressing in time from right to left , a reversed ordering is commonly practiced within the ARINC standard . Even though ARINC 429 word transmission begins with Bit 1 and ends with Bit 32 , it is common to diagram and describe ARINC 429 words in the order from Bit 32 to Bit 1 . In simplest terms , while the transmission order of bits ( from the first transmitted bit to the last transmitted bit ) for a 32 - bit frame is conventionally diagrammed as First bit > 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , ... 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 < Last bit , this sequence is often diagrammed in ARINC 429 publications in the opposite direction as Last bit > 32 , 31 , 30 , 29 , ... 12 , 11 , 10 , 9 , 8 , 7 , 6 , 5 , 4 , 3 , 2 , 1 < First bit . When the ARINC 429 word format is illustrated with Bit 32 to the left , the numeric representations in the data field generally read with the Most significant bit on the left . However , in this particular bit order presentation , the Label field reads with its most significant bit on the right . Like CAN Protocol Identifier Fields , ARINC 429 label fields are transmitted most significant bit first . However , like UART Protocol , Binary - coded decimal numbers and binary numbers in the ARINC 429 data fields are generally transmitted least significant bit first . Some equipment suppliers publish the bit transmission order as First bit > 8 , 7 , 6 , 5 , 4 , 3 , 2 , 1 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ... 32 < Last bit . The suppliers that use this representation have in effect renumbered the bits in the Label field , converting the standard 's MSB 1 bit numbering for that field to LSB 1 bit numbering . This renumbering highlights the relative reversal of `` bit endianness '' between the Label representation and numeric data representations as defined within the ARINC 429 standard . Observe how the 87654321 bit numbering is similar to the 76543210 bit numbering common in digital equipment ; but reversed from the 12345678 bit numbering defined for the ARINC 429 Label field . This notional reversal also reflects historical implementation details . ARINC 429 transceivers have been implemented with 32 - bit shift registers . Parallel access to that shift register is often octet - oriented . As such , the bit order of the octet access is the bit order of the accessing device , which is usually LSB 0 ; and serial transmission is arranged such that the least significant bit of each octet is transmitted first . So , in common practice , the accessing device wrote or read a `` reversed label '' ( for example , to transmit a Label 213 ( or 8B ) the bit - reversed value D1 is written to the Label octet ) . Newer or `` enhanced '' transceivers may be configured to reverse the Label field bit order `` in hardware . '' Word format ( edit ) ARINC 429 Word Format SSM MSB Data LSB SDI Label 32 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 Each ARINC 429 word is a 32 - bit sequence that contains five fields : Bit 32 is the parity bit , and is used to verify that the word was not damaged or garbled during transmission . Every ARINC 429 channel typically uses `` odd '' parity - there must be an odd number of `` 1 '' bits in the word . This bit is set to 0 or 1 to ensure that the correct number of bits are set to 1 in the word . Bits 30 to 31 are the Sign / Status Matrix ( SSM ) - these bits may have various encodings dependent on the particular data representation applied to a given word : In all cases using the SSM , these bits may be encoded to indicate : Normal Operation ( NO ) - Indicates the data in this word is considered to be correct data . Functional Test ( FT ) - Indicates that the data is being provided by a test source . Failure Warning ( FW ) - Indicates a failure which causes the data to be suspect or missing . No Computed Data ( NCD ) - Indicates that the data is missing or inaccurate for some reason other than a failure . For example , autopilot commands will show as NCD when the autopilot is not turned on . In the case of Binary Coded Decimal ( BCD ) representation , the SSM may also indicate the Sign ( + / - ) of the data or some information analogous to sign , like an orientation ( North / South ; East / West ) . When so indicating sign , the SSM is also considered to be indicating Normal Operation . In the case of two 's - complement representation of signed binary numbers ( BNR ) , Bit 29 represents the number 's sign ; that is , sign indication is delegated to Bit 29 in this case . In the case of discrete data representation ( e.g. , bit - fields ) , the SSM has a different , signless encoding . SSM Data Dependent SSM Encodings : Bit 31 Bit 30 Sign / Status Matrix for BCD Data Status Matrix for BNR Data Status Matrix for Discrete Data 0 0 Plus , North , East , Right , To , Above Failure Warning ( FW ) Verified Data , Normal Operation 0 No Computed Data ( NCD ) No Computed Data ( NCD ) No Computed Data ( NCD ) 0 Functional Test ( FT ) Functional Test ( FT ) Functional Test ( FT ) Minus , South , West , Left , From , Below Normal Operation ( NO ) Failure Warning ( FW ) Bit 29 Sign Matrix for BNR Data 0 Plus , North , East , Right , To , Above Minus , South , West , Left , From , Below Bits 11 to 29 contain the data . Bit - field , Binary Coded Decimal ( BCD ) , and Binary Number Representation ( BNR ) are common ARINC 429 data formats . Data formats may also be mixed . Bits 9 and 10 are Source / Destination Identifiers ( SDI ) and may indicate the intended receiver or , more frequently , indicate the transmitting subsystem . Bits 1 to 8 contain a label ( label words ) , expressed in octal ( MSB 1 bit numbering ) , identifying the data type . The image below exemplifies many of the concepts explained in the adjacent sections . In this image the Label ( 260 ) appears in red , the Data in blue - green and the Parity bit in navy blue . Labels ( edit ) Illustration of the airspeed indication and detection system on fly - by - wire aircraft Label guidelines are provided as part of the ARINC 429 specification , for various equipment types . Each aircraft will contain a number of different systems , such as flight management computers , inertial reference systems , air data computers , radar altimeters , radios , and GPS sensors . For each type of equipment , a set of standard parameters is defined , which is common across all manufacturers and models . For example , any air data computer will provide the barometric altitude of the aircraft as label 203 . This allows some degree of interchangeability of parts , as all air data computers behave , for the most part , in the same way . There are only a limited number of labels , though , and so label 203 may have some completely different meaning if sent by a GPS sensor , for example . Very commonly needed aircraft parameters , however , use the same label regardless of source . Also , as with any specification , each manufacturer has slight differences from the formal specification , such as by providing extra data above and beyond the specification , leaving out some data recommended by the specification , or other various changes . Protection from interference ( edit ) Avionics systems are required to meet environmental requirements , usually stated as RTCA DO - 160 environmental categories . ARINC 429 employs several physical , electrical , and protocol techniques to minimize electromagnetic interference with on - board radios and other equipment , for example via other transmission cables . Its cabling is a shielded 78 Ω twisted - pair . ARINC signalling defines a 20Vp differential between the Data A and Data B levels within the bipolar transmission ( i.e. 10V on Data A and - 10V on Data B would constitute a valid driving signal ) , and the specification defines acceptable voltage rise and fall times . ARINC 429 's data encoding uses a complementary differential bipolar return - to - zero ( BPRZ ) transmission waveform , further reducing EMI emissions from the cable itself . Development tools ( edit ) When developing and / or troubleshooting the ARINC 429 bus , examination of hardware signals can be very important to find problems . A logic analyzer with protocol decoding capabilities or protocol analyzers are useful tools which collect , analyze , decode , store signals so people can view the high - speed waveforms at their leisure . See also ( edit ) ARINC 615 defines a high - speed data loader protocol layered upon the ARINC 429 physical layer . ARINC 629 defines a high - speed , multi-transmitter , TDMA extension to ARINC 429 , superseded by AFDX . ARINC 664.7 ( See AFDX ) defines the use of a deterministic Ethernet network as an avionic databus in later aircraft like the Airbus A380 and the Boeing 787 . This standard defines virtual point - to - point connections implementing the same concept as used in ARINC 429 . In contrast to 429 , these connections do not exist physically , but as TDMA logical links . ARINC 708 defines a protocol for transmission of weather radar data . While the 708 transmission is a simplified version of MIL - STD - 1553 , control of ARINC 708 components was standardized through ARINC 429 labels . ARINC 828 defines Electronic Flight Bag ( EFB ) interfaces used in all types of aircraft and includes , among other interfaces , ARINC 429 interfacing . MIL - STD - 1553 , Military Bus standard for a `` Shared Serial Bus '' , often used in place of ARINC 429 . References ( edit ) ^ Jump up to : Steve Woodward ( July 11 , 2002 ) . Bill Travis , ed.

Cry - Baby Theatrical release poster Directed by John Waters Produced by Rachel Talalay Written by John Waters Starring Johnny Depp Amy Locane Susan Tyrrell Iggy Pop Ricki Lake Traci Lords Polly Bergen Music by Patrick Williams Cinematography David Insley Edited by Janice Hampton Production company Imagine Entertainment Distributed by Universal Pictures Release date April 6 , 1990 ( 1990 - 04 - 06 ) Running time 85 minutes Country United States Language English Budget $12 million Box office $8.3 million Cry - Baby is a 1990 American teen musical romantic comedy film written and directed by John Waters . It was the only film of Waters ' over which studios were in a bidding war , coming off the heels of the successful Hairspray . The film stars Johnny Depp as 1950s teen rebel `` Cry - Baby '' Wade Walker , and also features a large ensemble cast that includes Amy Locane , Polly Bergen , Susan Tyrrell , Iggy Pop , Ricki Lake , and Traci Lords , with appearances by Troy Donahue , Joe Dallesandro , Joey Heatherton , David Nelson , Willem Dafoe , and Patricia Hearst . The story centers on a group of delinquents who refer to themselves as `` drapes '' and their interaction with the rest of the town and its other subculture , the `` squares '' , in 1950s Baltimore , Maryland . `` Cry - Baby '' Walker , a drape , and Allison , a square , create upheaval and turmoil in their little town of Baltimore by breaking the subculture taboos and falling in love . The film shows what the young couple has to overcome to be together and how their actions affect the rest of the town . Part of the film takes place at the now - closed Enchanted Forest amusement park in Ellicott City , Maryland . Others take place in the historic towns of Hampden , Baltimore City , Reisterstown , Jessup , Milford Mill , and Sykesville , Maryland . The film did not achieve high audience numbers in its initial release , but has subsequently become a cult classic and spawned a Broadway musical of the same name which was nominated for four Tony Awards . Contents ( hide ) 1 Plot 2 Cast 3 Musical numbers 4 Release 4.1 Critical reception 4.2 Box office 5 Musical adaptation 6 Legacy 7 References 8 External links Plot ( edit ) In 1954 Baltimore , Wade `` Cry - Baby '' Walker is the leader of a gang of `` drapes '' , which includes his sister Pepper , a teenage mother ; Mona `` Hatchet Face '' Malnorowski , who is facially disfigured ; Wanda Woodward , who is constantly embarrassed by her post World War II normal parents ; and Milton Hackett , Hatchet Face 's devoted boyfriend . Walker 's ability to shed a single tear drives all the girls wild . One day after school , he is approached by Allison Vernon - Williams , a pretty girl tired of being a `` square '' , and the two fall in love . That same day , Cry - Baby approaches the `` square '' part of town to a talent show at the recreation center where Allison 's grandmother hosts events , and introduces himself to her , who is skeptical of his motives . Cry - Baby invites Allison to a party at Turkey Point , a local hangout spot for the drapes . Despite her grandmother 's skepticism , Allison accompanies Cry - Baby to Turkey Point and sings with the drapes . As Cry - Baby and Allison tell each other about their orphan lives ; Cry - Baby 's father was sent to the electric chair after being the `` Alphabet Bomber '' -- a killer who bombed places in alphabetical order and his mother tried to stop him , but also got sent to the electric chair as a result ; Allison 's parents took separate flights to avoid orphaning her if they crashed , but both their planes went down . Allison 's jealous square boyfriend , Baldwin , then starts a riot . Cry - Baby is blamed for the fight and sent to a penitentiary , outraging all his friends and even Allison 's grandmother , who is impressed by Cry - Baby 's posture , manners , and musical talent . As Lenora Frigid , a loose girl with a crush on Cry - Baby , but constantly rejected by him , claims to be pregnant with his child , Allison feels betrayed and returns to Baldwin and the squares , though her grandmother advises her against rushing into a decision . Meanwhile , in the penitentiary , Cry - Baby gets a teardrop tattoo . He tells the tattoo artist , fellow drape Dupree ( Robert Tyree ) : `` I 've been hurt all my life , but real tears wash away . This one 's for Allison , and I want it to last forever ! '' . Eventually after performing with Baldwin and the Whiffles , Allison is persuaded by the newly established alliance between the Drapes and her grandmother to stand by Cry - Baby and join the campaign for his release . Cry - Baby is released , but immediately insulted by Baldwin , who after revealing that his grandfather is the one who electrocuted Cry - Baby 's father , challenges him to a chicken race . Cry - Baby wins , as Baldwin chickens out , and is reunited with Allison . The film ends with all watching the chicken race crying a single tear , except for Allison and Cry - Baby , who has finally let go of the past , enabling him to cry from both eyes .

Critical reception ( edit ) The film received positive reviews from critics . On Rotten Tomatoes , it currently holds a 73 % score , based on 55 reviews , with an average rating of 6.6 / 10 . The site 's consensus states : `` John Waters ' musical ode to the teen rebel genre is infectious and gleefully camp , providing star Johnny Depp with the perfect vehicle in which to lampoon his pin - up image . '' Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun - Times awarded the film 3 out of 4 stars . Box office ( edit ) The film opened on April 6 , 1990 in 1,229 North American cinemas -- an unprecedented number for a John Waters film . In its opening weekend , it grossed a soft $3,004,905 ( $2,445 per screen ) and grossed $8,266,343 by the end of its theatrical run , making it a box office flop from its $12 million budget . Musical adaptation ( edit ) Main article : Cry - Baby ( musical ) Cry - Baby is the second of Waters ' films to be adapted for the stage as a musical comedy ( following Hairspray ) . Legacy ( edit ) Cry - Baby was the main inspiration for It Was Romance frontperson Lane Moore 's music video to her first single , `` Philadelphia '' , with Moore playing both Traci Lords and Johnny Depp 's characters from the film .

MASH Theatrical release poster Directed by Robert Altman Fred Williamson ( football scenes ) Produced by Ingo Preminger Screenplay by Ring Lardner , Jr . Based on MASH : A Novel About Three Army Doctors by Richard Hooker Starring Donald Sutherland Elliott Gould Tom Skerritt Sally Kellerman Robert Duvall Roger Bowen René Auberjonois Music by Johnny Mandel Cinematography Harold E. Stine Edited by Danford B. Greene Production company Aspen Productions Ingo Preminger Productions Distributed by 20th Century Fox Release date January 25 , 1970 ( 1970 - 01 - 25 ) Running time 116 minutes Country United States Language English Budget $3.025 million Box office $81.6 million MASH ( stylized as M * A * S * H on the poster art ) is a 1970 American satirical black comedy war film directed by Robert Altman and written by Ring Lardner , Jr. , based on Richard Hooker 's novel MASH : A Novel About Three Army Doctors . The picture is the only feature film in the M * A * S * H franchise and became one of the biggest films of the early 1970s for 20th Century Fox . The film depicts a unit of medical personnel stationed at a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital ( MASH ) during the Korean War ; the subtext is about the Vietnam War . It stars Donald Sutherland , Tom Skerritt , and Elliott Gould , with Sally Kellerman , Robert Duvall , René Auberjonois , Gary Burghoff , Roger Bowen , Michael Murphy , and in his film debut , professional football player Fred Williamson . The film won Grand Prix du Festival International du Film , later named Palme d'Or , at 1970 Cannes Film Festival . The film went on to receive five Academy Award nominations , including Best Picture , and won for Best Adapted Screenplay . MASH was deemed `` culturally significant '' by the Library of Congress and was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry . The Academy Film Archive preserved MASH in 2000 . The film inspired the popular and critically acclaimed television series M * A * S * H , which ran from 1972 to 1983 . Contents ( hide ) 1 Plot 2 Cast 3 Production 4 First telecast 5 Music 6 Reception 6.1 Critical response 6.2 Accolades 6.3 Home media 7 See also 8 References 9 External links Plot ( edit ) The plot is told as a series of ( presumably chronological ) vignettes surrounding the life of the namesake Mobile Army Surgical Hospital where it is set . While the episodic film lacks the cohesion of an overarching singular plot with a traditional narrative structure , the vignettes do present a clear means for the film to explore the themes of military life . Set in 1951 in South Korea , the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital is assigned two replacements : Captains `` Hawkeye '' Pierce and `` Duke '' Forrest , who arrive in a stolen Jeep . They are insubordinate , womanizing , mischievous rule - breakers , but they soon prove to be excellent combat surgeons . As the film progresses , further scenes introduce additional characters . Some characters are already at the camp when Hawkeye and Duke arrive , such as the bumbling commander Henry Blake , his hyper - competent chief clerk Radar O'Reilly , the morose dentist Walter `` Painless '' Waldowski , the incompetent and pompous surgeon Frank Burns , and the contemplative Chaplain Father Mulcahy . Other characters arrive after Hawkeye and Duke , and become integrated into camp life , such as surgeon Trapper John and Nurse Margaret Houlihan . After the characters are introduced , which forms the opening act , further comedic episodes explore the evolving relationships between the characters . The main characters in the camp divide into two factions ; Hawkeye , Duke , and Trapper John form one faction ; all three were drafted into the army and are not as dedicated to the mission or lifestyle of the military . They are prone to pranks and heavy drinking . The other faction forms around the romantic relationship between Majors Houlihan and Burns , who are both career military personnel . The two factions battle back and forth in a series of pranks and reprisals ( one involving exposing a naked Houlihan to the camp when the walls of the shower tent are collapsed , another embarrassing the couple by exposing their heretofore secret romance ) until Burns is goaded into punching Hawkeye and removed from the unit for psychiatric evaluation . The removal of Burns changes the camp social dynamic and marks the transition to the third act . Trapper and Hawkeye are removed to Japan to operate on a congressman 's son . When they later perform an unauthorized operation on a local infant , they face discipline by the hospital commander for misusing army resources until they drug him and stage pictures with a prostitute , saving themselves through blackmail . Upon returning to Korea , General Hammond and Colonel Blake organize a `` friendly '' football game , with some money thrown into a pot to make bets ( $5,000 or $6,000 ) . Hawkeye and Blake arrange for a plan in order to assure victory . First , they get Henry to apply for a specific neurosurgeon : Dr. Oliver Harmon Jones , a former professional football player for the San Francisco 49ers . Then , they bet half their money up front and keep the ringer ( Jones ) out of the first half of the game . During the game , Houlihan uncharacteristically participates as a cheerleader in an effort to fit in . Once the other team racks up some easy points and becomes confident enough to offer good odds to bet the rest of the money , the 4077th brings in Jones for the second half . The 325th has its own ringers , however , and the 4077th fights back with illegal injuries and by drugging the 325th 's running back . The game comes down to the last play , in which the quarterback ( Trapper ) returns the ball to the center , SSgt . Vollmer , who hides the ball under his jersey and runs into the end zone for the winning touchdown . Not long after the football game , Hawkeye and Duke get their discharge orders and begin their journey home -- in the same stolen Jeep in which they arrived -- as the intercom breaks the fourth wall by announcing the end of the film , giving a roll - call for the film 's cast , and thanking the audience for watching .

Gorman Marvin Miller as PA announcer Sylvester Stallone as Soldier ( uncredited ) Production ( edit ) The screenplay , by Ring Lardner , Jr. , is different from the original novel . In the DVD audio commentary , Altman describes the novel as `` pretty terrible '' and somewhat `` racist '' ( the only major black character has the nickname `` Spearchucker '' ) . He claims that the screenplay was used only as a springboard . While some improvisation occurs in the film and Altman changed the order of major sequences , most sequences are in the screenplay . The main deletion is a subplot of Ho - Jon 's return to the 4077th as a casualty ( when Radar steals blood from Henry , it is for Ho - Jon 's operation under Trapper and Hawkeye 's scalpels ; when the surgeons are playing poker after the football game , they are resolutely ignoring Ho - Jon 's corpse being driven away ) . The main deviation from the script is the trimming of much of the dialogue . According to Altman , Lardner was very upset with the liberties taken with his script , although Lardner denied this in his autobiography . The filming process was difficult because of tensions between the director and his cast . During principal photography , Sutherland and Gould allegedly spent a third of their time trying to get Altman fired , although this has been disputed . Altman , relatively new to the filmmaking establishment at that time , lacked the credentials to justify his unorthodox filmmaking process and had a history of turning down work rather than creating a poor - quality product . Altman : `` I had practice working for people who do n't care about quality , and I learned how to sneak it in . '' Altman later commented that if he had known about Gould and Sutherland 's protests , he would have resigned . Gould later sent a letter of apology , and Altman used him in some of his later works , but he never worked with Sutherland again . Only a few loudspeaker announcements were used in the original cut . When Altman realized he needed more structure to his largely episodic film , editor Danford Greene suggested using more loudspeaker announcements to frame different episodes of the story . Greene took a second - unit crew and filmed additional shots of the speakers . On the same night these scenes were shot , American astronauts landed on the moon . During production , a caption that mentions the Korean setting was added to the beginning of the film , at the request of 20th Century Fox studios . The Korean War is explicitly referenced in announcements on the camp public address system and during a radio announcement that plays while Hawkeye and Trapper are putting in Col. Merrill 's office which also cites the film as taking place in 1951 . In his director 's commentary on the DVD release , Altman says that MASH was the first major studio film to use the word `` fuck '' in its dialogue . The word is spoken during the football game near the end of the film by `` the Painless Pole '' when he says to an opposing football player , `` All right , Bud , your fucking head is coming right off ! '' The actor , John Schuck , said in an interview that Andy Sidaris , who was handling the football sequences , encouraged Shuck to `` say something that 'll annoy him . '' Shuck did so , and that particular statement made it into the film without a second thought . First telecast ( edit ) MASH had its television premiere as a CBS Friday Night Movie on September 13 , 1974 , at 9 : 00 ( EDT ) , three days after the debut of the third season of the M * A * S * H TV series ; it was repeated on CBS March 5 , 1976 . Music ( edit ) Johnny Mandel composed incidental music used throughout the film . Also heard on the soundtrack are Japanese vocal renditions of such songs as `` Tokyo Shoe Shine Boy '' , `` My Blue Heaven '' , `` Happy Days Are Here Again '' , `` Chattanooga Choo Choo '' , and `` Hi - Lili , Hi - Lo '' ; impromptu performances of `` Onward , Christian Soldiers '' , `` When the Lights Go On Again '' , and `` Hail to the Chief '' by cast members ; and the instrumental `` Washington Post March '' during the climactic football game . Columbia Records issued a soundtrack album for the film in 1970 . MASH features the song `` Suicide Is Painless '' , with music by Mandel and lyrics by Mike Altman , the director 's then 14 - year - old son . The version heard under the opening credits was sung by uncredited session vocalists John Bahler , Tom Bahler , Ron Hicklin , and Ian Freebairn - Smith ( on the single release , the song is attributed to `` The Mash '' ) ; the song is reprised later in the film by Pvt . Seidman ( played by Ken Prymus ) in a scene in which a character , a dentist called `` Painless '' , attempts suicide . Altman has noted in interviews that his son made quite a bit more money off publishing royalties for the song than the $70,000 or so he was paid to direct the film . Reception ( edit ) It was the sixth most popular film at the French box office in 1970 . Critical response ( edit ) This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( November 2016 ) MASH received mostly positive reviews from critics . The film currently holds an 87 % approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes , based on 45 reviews , with an average rating of 8.4 / 10 . The website 's consensus states , `` Bold , timely , subversive , and above all , funny , M * A * S * H remains a high point in Robert Altman 's distinguished filmography . '' The film also holds a score of 79 out of 100 on Metacritic , based on 7 critics , indicating `` generally favorable reviews . '' Accolades ( edit ) MASH won the Palme d'Or at the 1970 Cannes Film Festival . It was nominated for five Academy Awards , including Best Picture ( lost to Patton ) , Best Director ( lost to Patton ) , Best Supporting Actress for Sally Kellerman ( lost to Helen Hayes for Airport ) , and Best Film Editing ( lost to Patton ) , and won an Oscar for its screenplay . The film also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture ( Musical or Comedy ) in 1971 . It was the 38th film to be released to the home video market when 20th Century Fox licensed 50 motion pictures from their library to Magnetic Video . In 1996 , MASH was deemed `` culturally significant '' by the Library of Congress and was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry . The film is number 17 on Bravo 's `` 100 Funniest Movies '' and number 54 on `` AFI '' list of the top 100 American movies of all time . The film is recognized by American Film Institute in these lists : 1998 : AFI 's 100 Years ... 100 Movies -- # 56 2000 : AFI 's 100 Years ... 100 Laughs -- # 7 2004 : AFI 's 100 Years ... 100 Songs : `` Suicide Is Painless '' -- # 66 2005 : AFI 's 100 Years ... 100 Movie Quotes : Maj . Margaret O'Houlihan : `` Oh , Frank , my lips are hot . Kiss my hot lips . '' -- Nominated 2007 : AFI 's 100 Years ... 100 Movies ( 10th Anniversary Edition ) -- # 54 Home media ( edit ) The film was re-released in North America in 1973 , and earned an estimated $3.5 million in rentals . To attract audiences to the M * A * S * H television series , which was struggling with audiences at the time , the film was re-released at 112 minutes and received a PG rating . Several scenes were edited , including segments of graphic operations , the word `` fuck '' in the football game , and the scene where the curtain in the shower is pulled up on Hot Lips . `` Suicide is Painless '' , the film 's main theme song was replaced with music by Ahmad Jamal , according to film critic and historian Leonard Maltin in his movie and video guide . In the 1990s , Fox Video released a VHS version of MASH under their `` Selections '' banner which ran 116 minutes and rated PG . However , this is not the alternate PG version which was released in 1973 . It has the same run time as the theatrical release ; none of the aforementioned scenes or theme music was removed . The actual 1973 PG - edited version has never been released on video in the United States . This film was also released on betaMAX , Philips Video Cassette system , CED Video Disc , and Laser Disc . A `` restored '' version of the film was released in a two - disc set on DVD ( through Fox 's `` Five - Star Collection '' series ) in 2002 , which included the feature film , as well as about 2 hours of bonus features . A single disc release was released on DVD in 2004 . In 2006 , the same single disc release was included in the boxed set `` The Robert Altman Collection '' , which included `` MASH '' , `` A Perfect Couple '' , `` Quintet '' , and `` A Wedding '' . Also in 2006 , the single - disc edition was included with the complete M * A * S * H collection , called `` Martinis and Medicine Collection '' . The single - disc edition was included in other Fox sets as well . In 2009 , MASH was released on the Blu - Ray format , incorporating most of the features that were included on the two - disc DVD release .

Knossos ( also Cnossos , both pronounced / ( kə ) ˈnɒsɒs , - səs / ; Greek : Κνωσός , Knōsós ( knoˈsos ) ) is the largest Bronze Age archaeological site on Crete and has been called Europe 's oldest city . Settled as early as the Neolithic period , the name Knossos survives from ancient Greek references to the major city of Crete . The palace of Knossos eventually became the ceremonial and political centre of the Minoan civilization and culture . The palace was abandoned at some unknown time at the end of the Late Bronze Age , c. 1380 -- 1100 BC . The reason why is unknown , but one of the many disasters that befell the palace is generally put forward . In the first palace period around 2000 BC the urban area reached a size of up to 18,000 people . In its peak the palace and surrounding city boasted a population of 100,000 people shortly after 1700 BC .

Neolithic period ( edit ) The site of Knossos has had a very long history of human habitation , beginning with the founding of the first Neolithic settlement c. 7000 BC . Neolithic remains are prolific in Crete . They are found in caves , rock shelters , houses and settlements . Knossos has a thick Neolithic layer indicating the site was a sequence of settlements before the Palace Period . The earliest was placed on bedrock . Arthur Evans , who unearthed the palace of Knossos in modern times , estimated that about 8000 BC a Neolithic people arrived at the hill , probably from overseas by boat , and placed the first of a succession of wattle and daub villages ( modern radiocarbon dates have raised the estimate to 7000 -- 6500 BC ) . Large numbers of clay and stone incised spools and whorls attest to local cloth - making . There are fine ground axe and mace heads of colored stone : greenstone , serpentine , diorite and jadeite , as well as obsidian knives and arrowheads along with the cores from which they were flaked . Most significant among the other small items were a large number of animal and human figurines , including nude sitting or standing females with exaggerated breasts and buttocks . Evans attributed them to the worship of the Neolithic mother goddess and figurines in general to religion . John Davies Evans ( no relation to Arthur Evans ) undertook further excavations in pits and trenches over the palace , focusing on the Neolithic . In the Aceramic Neolithic , 7000 -- 6000 BC , a hamlet of 25 -- 50 persons existed at the location of the Central Court . They lived in wattle and daub huts , kept animals , grew crops , and , in the event of tragedy , buried their children under the floor . In such circumstances as they are still seen today , a hamlet consisted of several families , necessarily interrelated , practicing some form of exogamy , living in close quarters , with little or no privacy and a high degree of intimacy , spending most of their time in the outdoors , sheltering only for the night or in inclement weather , and to a large degree nomadic or semi-nomadic . Bowl with fork handles , pottery . Knossos , Early Neolithic , 6500 - 5800 BC . Also a ladle , and a three - legged vessel from later periods In the Early Neolithic , 6000 -- 5000 BC , a village of 200 -- 600 persons occupied most of the area of the palace and the slopes to the north and west . They lived in one - or two - room square houses of mud - brick walls set on socles of stone , either field stone or recycled stone artifacts . The inner walls were lined with mud - plaster . The roofs were flat , composed of mud over branches . The residents dug hearths at various locations in the center of the main room . This village had an unusual feature : one house under the West Court contained eight rooms and covered 50 m ( 540 sq ft ) . The walls were at right angles . The door was centered . Large stones were used for support under points of greater stress . The fact that distinct sleeping cubicles for individuals was not the custom suggests storage units of some sort . The settlement of the Middle Neolithic , 5000 -- 4000 BC , housed 500 -- 1000 people in more substantial and presumably more family - private homes . Construction was the same , except the windows and doors were timbered , a fixed , raised hearth occupied the center of the main room , and pilasters and other raised features ( cabinets , beds ) occupied the perimeter . Under the palace was the Great House , a 100 m ( 1,100 sq ft ) area stone house divided into five rooms with meter - thick walls suggesting a second story was present . The presence of the house , which is unlikely to have been a private residence like the others , suggests a communal or public use ; i.e. , it may have been the predecessor of a palace . In the Late or Final Neolithic ( two different but overlapping classification systems ) , 4000 -- 3000 BC , the population increased dramatically . Minoan period ( edit ) See also : Minoan civilization , Minoan pottery , and Minoan chronology It is believed that the first Cretan palaces were built soon after c. 2000 , in the early part of the Middle Minoan period , at Knossos and other sites including Mallia , Phaestos and Zakro . These palaces , which were to set the pattern of organisation in Crete and Greece through the second millennium , were a sharp break from the Neolithic village system that had prevailed thus far . The building of the palaces implies greater wealth and a concentration of authority , both political and religious . It is suggested that they followed eastern models such as those at Ugarit on the Syrian coast and Mari on the upper Euphrates . The early palaces were destroyed during Middle Minoan II , sometime before c. 1700 , almost certainly by earthquakes to which Crete is prone . By c. 1650 , they had been rebuilt on a grander scale and the period of the second palaces ( c. 1650 -- c. 1450 ) marks the height of Minoan prosperity . All the palaces had large central courtyards which may have been used for public ceremonies and spectacles . Living quarters , storage rooms and administrative centres were positioned around the court and there were also working quarters for skilled craftsmen . The palace of Knossos was considerably the largest , covering three acres with its main building alone and five acres when separate out - buildings are considered . It had a monumental staircase leading to state rooms on an upper floor . A ritual cult centre was on the ground floor . The palace stores occupied sixteen rooms , the main feature in these being the pithoi which were large storage jars up to five feet tall . They were mainly used for storage of oil , wool , wine and grain . Smaller and more valuable objects were stored in lead - lined cists . The palace had bathrooms , toilets and a drainage system . A theatre was found at Knossos that would have held 400 spectators ( an earlier one has been found at Phaestos ) . The orchestral area was rectangular , unlike later Athenian models , and they were probably used for religious dances . Building techniques at Knossos were typical . The foundations and lower course were stonework with the whole built on a timber framework of beams and pillars . The main structure was built of large , unbaked bricks . The roof was flat with a thick layer of clay over brushwood . Internal rooms were brightened by light - wells and columns of wood , many fluted , were used to lend both support and dignity . The chambers and corridors were decorated with frescoes showing scenes from everyday life and scenes of processions . Warfare is conspicuous by its absence . The fashions of the time can be seen in depictions of women in various poses . They had elaborately dressed hair and wore long dresses with flounced skirts and puffed sleeves . Their bodices were tightly drawn in round their waists and their breasts were exposed . The prosperity of Knossos was primarily based upon the development of native Cretan resources such as oil , wine and wool . Another factor was the expansion of trade . Herodotus wrote that Minos , the legendary king of Knossos , established a thalassocracy ( sea empire ) . Thucydides accepted the tradition and added that Minos cleared the sea of pirates , increased the flow of trade and colonised many Aegean islands . Archaeological evidence supports the tradition because Minoan pottery is widespread , having been found in Egypt , Syria , Anatolia , Rhodes , the Cyclades , Sicily and mainland Greece . There seem to have been strong Minoan connections with Rhodes , Miletus and Samos . Cretan influence can be seen in the earliest scripts found in Cyprus . The main market for Cretan wares was the Cyclades where there was a demand for pottery , especially the stone vases . It is not known if the islands were subject to Crete or just trading partners but there certainly was strong Cretan influence . This also applies to the mainland because both tradition and archaeology have formed strong links between Crete and Athens . The main legend here is the Minotaur story wherein Athens was subject to Knossos and paying tribute . The legend concerns a creature living in a labyrinth that was half - man and half - bull . Bulls are frequently featured on pottery and frescoes found at Knossos , where the intricate layout of the palace might suggest a labyrinth . One of the most common cult - symbols , often seen on palace walls , is the double - headed axe called the labrys , which is a Carian word for that type of tool or weapon . At the height of Cretan power around 1450 BC , the palaces at Mallia , Phaestus and Zakro were destroyed along with smaller settlements elsewhere . Only Knossos remained and it survived till c. 1370 . At the time of its destruction , it was occupied by Greeks whose presence is suggested by a new emphasis on weapons and warfare in both art and burial . The Mycenaean - style chamber tombs had been adopted and there was a mainland influence on pottery style . Confirmation came from writing after Michael Ventris deciphered the Linear B tablets and showed them to be written in an early form of Greek which was quite unlike the earlier Linear A. Sir Arthur Evans found the Linear B tablets at Knossos and , although the writing was different from the Linear A ones at Phaestus and elsewhere , he thought they were a development of the first and so called them Linear B . Despite speculation that Knossos was destroyed by the volcanic eruption on Santorini , it is generally accepted that the cause was human violence following an invasion of Crete by Greeks from the Argolid , most probably Mycenaean . Knossos was still prosperous at the time of its destruction c. 1370 with trade and art continuing to thrive . Reasons for its destruction are speculative but a likely one is that the Mycenaeans , now prospering on the mainland , decided to remove a rival power . Legends ( edit ) Main article : Labyrinth A labrys from Messara Plain . In Greek mythology , King Minos dwelt in a palace at Knossos . He had Daedalus construct a labyrinth , a very large maze ( by some connected with the double - bladed axe , or labrys ) in which to retain his son , the Minotaur . Daedalus also built a dancing floor for Queen Ariadne . The name `` Knossos '' was subsequently adopted by Arthur Evans . As far as is currently known , it was William Stillman , the American consul who published Kalokairinos ' discoveries , who , seeing the sign of the double axe on the massive walls partly uncovered by Kalokairinos , first associated the complex with the labyrinth of legend , calling the ruins `` labyrinthine '' . Evans agreed with Stillman . The myth of the Minotaur tells that Theseus , a prince from Athens , whose father is an ancient Greek king named Aegeus , reason for the name of the Greek sea ( the Aegean Sea ) , sailed to Crete , where he was forced to fight a terrible creature called the Minotaur . The Minotaur was a half man , half bull , and was kept in the Labyrinth -- a building like a maze -- by the king Minos , the ruler of Crete . The king 's daughter Ariadne fell in love with Theseus . Before he entered the Labyrinth to fight the Minotaur , Ariadne gave him a ball of thread which he unwound as he went into the Labyrinth so that he could find his way back by following it . Theseus killed the Minotaur , and then he and Ariadne fled from Crete , escaping her angry father . As it turns out , there probably was an association of the word labyrinth , whatever its etymology , with ancient Crete . The sign of the double axe was used throughout the Mycenaean world as an apotropaic mark : its presence on an object would prevent it from being `` killed '' . Axes were scratched on many of the stones of the palace . It appears in pottery decoration and is a motif of the Shrine of the Double Axes at the palace , as well as of many shrines throughout Crete and the Aegean . And finally , it appears in Linear B on Knossos Tablet Gg702 as da - pu - ri - to - jo po - ti - ni - ja , which probably represents the Mycenaean Greek Daburinthoio potniai , `` to the mistress of the Labyrinth , '' recording the distribution of one jar of honey . A credible theory uniting all the evidence has yet to be formulated . Hellenistic and Roman period ( edit ) This section needs additional citations for verification .

( October 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Fieldwork in 2015 revealed that during the early Iron Age , Knossos was rich in imports and was nearly three times larger than indicated by earlier excavations . Whilst archaeologists had previously believed that the city had declined in the wake of a socio - political collapse around 1200 BC , the work found that the city had prospered instead , with its final abandonment coming later . After the fall of the Minoans , Knossus was repopulated around 1000 BC and it remained one of the most important centers of Crete . The city had two ports : Amnisos and Heraklion . According to the geographer Strabo the Knossians colonized the city of Brundisium in Italy . In 343 BC Knossos was allied with Philip II of Macedon . The city employed a Phocian mercenary named Phalaikos against their enemy , the city of Lyttus . The Lyttians appealed to the Spartans who sent their king Archidamus III against the Knossians . In Hellenistic times Knossos came under Egyptian influence , but despite considerable military efforts during the Chremonidean War ( 267 - 261 BC ) the Ptolemies were not able to unify the warring city states . In the 3rd century BC Knossos expanded its power to dominate almost the entire island , but during the Lyttian War in 220 BC it was checked by a coalition led by the Polyrrhenians and the Macedonian king Philip V . Twenty years later , during the Cretan War ( 205 -- 200 BC ) , the Knossians were once more among Philip 's opponents and through Roman , and Rhodian aid this time they managed to liberate Crete from the Macedonian influence . With Roman aid , Knossus became once more the first city of Crete , but , in 67 BC , the Roman Senate chose Gortys as the capital of the newly created province Creta et Cyrene . In 36 BC , Knossus became a Roman colony named Colonia Iulia Nobilis . The colony , which was built using Roman - style architecture , was situated within the vicinity of the Palace , but only a small part of it has been excavated . The identification of Knossos with the Bronze Age site is supported the Roman coins that were scattered over the fields surrounding the pre-excavation site , then a large mound named Kephala Hill , elevation 85 m ( 279 ft ) from current sea level . Many of them were inscribed with Knosion or Knos on the obverse and an image of a Minotaur or Labyrinth on the reverse . The coins came from the Roman settlement of Colonia Julia Nobilis Cnossus , a Roman colony placed just to the north of , and politically including , Kephala . The Romans believed they were the first to colonize Knossos . In Christian times Knossos became a titular see , but during the 9th century AD the local population shifted to the new town of Chandax ( modern Heraklion ) . By the 13th century , it was called Makruteikhos ' Long Wall ' ; the bishops of Gortyn continued to call themselves Bishops of Knossos until the 19th century . Today , the name is used only for the archaeological site now situated in the expanding suburbs of Heraklion . Discovery and modern history of the antiquities ( edit ) Main article : Knossos ( modern history ) The site of Knossos was discovered in 1878 by Minos Kalokairinos . The excavations in Knossos began in 1900 by the English archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans ( 1851 -- 1941 ) and his team , and continued for 35 years . Its size far exceeded his original expectations , as did the discovery of two ancient scripts , which he termed Linear A and Linear B , to distinguish their writing from the pictographs also present . From the layering of the palace Evans developed an archaeological concept of the civilization that used it , which he called Minoan , following the pre-existing custom of labelling all objects from the location Minoan . Since their discovery , the ruins have undergone a history of their own , from excavation by renowned archaeologists , education and tourism , to occupation as a headquarters by governments warring over the control of the eastern Mediterranean in two world wars . This site history is to be distinguished from the ancient . Palace complex ( edit ) The features of the palace depend on the time period . Currently visible is an accumulation of features over several centuries , the latest most dominant . The palace was thus never exactly as depicted today . In addition , it has been reconstituted in modern materials . The custom began in an effort to preserve the site from decay and torrential winter rain . After 1922 , the chief proprietor , Arthur Evans , intended to recreate a facsimile based on archaeological evidence . The palace is not exactly as it ever was , perhaps in places not even close , and yet in general , judging from the work put in and the care taken , as well as parallels with other palaces , it probably is a good general facsimile . Opinions range , however , from most skeptical , viewing the palace as pure fantasy based on 1920s architecture and art deco , to most unquestioning , accepting the final judgements of Arthur Evans as most accurate . The mainstream of opinion falls between . Location ( edit ) View to the east from the northwest corner . In the foreground is the west wall of the Lustral Basin . View to the south . The hill in the background is Gypsades . Between it and Knossos is the Vlychia . The South Entrance is on the left . Reception courtyard in the palace of Knossos . The Royal family would entertain guests here . Members of the court would stand on the tiered platforms in the background . From an archaeological point of view , the terms `` Knossos '' and `` palace '' are somewhat ambiguous . The palace was never just the residence of a monarch , although it contained rooms that might have been suitable for a royal family . Most of the structures , however , were designed to serve a civic , religious and economic center . The term palace complex is more accurate . In ancient times , Knossos was a town surrounding and including Kephala Hill . This hill was never an acropolis in the Greek sense . It had no steep heights , remained unfortified , and was not very high off the surrounding ground . These circumstances can not necessarily be imputed to other Minoan palaces . Phaestos , contemporaneous with Knossos , was placed on a steep ridge , controlling access to the Mesara Plain from the sea , and was walled . To what degree Minoan civilization might be considered warlike remains debatable . It can , however , be said that Knossos bore no resemblance to a Mycenaean citadel , whether before or during Mycenaean Greek occupation . The complex was constructed ultimately around a raised Central Court on the top of Kephala Hill . The previous structures were razed and the top was made level to make way for the court . The court is oblong , with the long axis , which points north - northeast , generally described as pointing `` north '' . Plot plans typically show the court with the long axis horizontal , apparently east - west with the north on the right , or vertical with the north on the top . Either arrangement is confusing unless the compass points are carefully marked . About 5 km ( 3.1 mi ) to the north of the palace complex is the sea at the Port of Heraklion . Directly to the south is Vlychia Stream , an east - west tributary of the north - south Kairatos River . Kephala Hill is an isolated hill at the confluence . The Kairatos River reaches the sea between the port of Heraklion and Heraklion Airport to the east . In ancient times the flow continued without interruption . Today the stream loses itself in the sewers of Heraklion before emerging from under a highway on the shore east of the port . It flows down from higher ground at Arkhanes to the south , where part of it was diverted into the Knossos Aqueduct . The water at that point was clean enough for drinking . When it reached Knossos it became the main drain of the sewer system of a town of up to 100,000 people , according to Pendlebury 's estimate . Today the population is mainly to the north , but the sewer function continues , in addition to which much of the river is siphoned off , and the water table is tapped , for irrigation . Looming over the right bank of the Vlychia , on the opposite shore from Knossos , is Gypsades Hill , where the Minoans quarried their gypsum . The limestone was quarried from the ridge on the east . The archaeological site , Knossos , refers either to the palace complex itself or to that complex and several houses of similar antiquity nearby , which were inadvertently excavated along with the palace . To the south across the Vlychia is the Caravanserai . Further to the south are Minoan houses . The Minoan Road crossed the Vlychia on a Minoan Bridge , immediately entering the Stepped Portico , or covered stairway , to the palace complex . Near the northwest corner of the complex are the ruins of the House of the Frescoes . Across the Minoan Road entering from the northwest is the Arsenal . On the north side of the palace is the Customs House and the Northeast House . From there to the northeast is the modern village of Makrotoichos . Between it and the palace complex is the Royal Villa . On the west side is the Little Palace . The Royal Road is the last vestige of a Minoan road that connected the port to the palace complex . Today a modern road , Leoforos Knosou , built over or replacing the ancient roadway , serves that function and continues south . The excavated ancient Royal Road is part of the complex . The junction of the ancient and the modern roads is partly over the Little Palace . Just to the northwest of there , off the modern road , is where Evans chose to have Villa Ariadne built as his home away from home and an administrative center . The villa is on a slope overlooking the ruins . At the edge of the property , on the road , is a pre-excavation house renovated many times as a residence for the official Keeper , called the Taverna . Immediately to the south of the villa , over parts of the Little Palace , is the modern Stratigraphical Museum , a square building . Excavation continues sporadically on its grounds . To the south of the museum is a modern settlement across from the entrance to the west court . Parking facilities are to the north , off Leoforos Knosou . A band of fields has been left on the northwest between the palace complex and the city streets of Heraklion . The east and west are protected by north - south mountain ridges , between which is the valley of the Kairatos . General features ( edit ) Magazine 4 with giant pithoi placed by the archaeologists for display . The compartments in the floor were the permanent locations of pithoi , or storage jars , like these , which stored wet and dry consumables , such as wine , oil and grain . When full , they were multi-ton and immoveable . They were sunken for easier access to the wide mouths and for support . The great palace was gradually built between 1700 and 1400 BC , with periodic rebuildings after destruction . Structures preceded it on Kephala hill . The features currently most visible date mainly to the last period of habitation , which Evans termed Late Minoan . The palace has an interesting layout -- the original plan can no longer be seen due to the subsequent modifications . The 1,300 rooms are connected with corridors of varying sizes and direction , which differ from other contemporaneous palaces that connected the rooms via several main hallways . The 6 acres ( 24,000 m ) of the palace included a theater , a main entrance on each of its four cardinal faces , and extensive storerooms ( also called magazines ) . Within the storerooms were large clay containers ( pithoi ) that held oil , grains , dried fish , beans , and olives . Many of the items were processed at the palace , which had grain mills , oil presses , and wine presses . Beneath the pithoi were stone holes that were used to store more valuable objects , such as gold . The palace used advanced architectural techniques : for example , part of it was built up to five stories high . Water management ( edit ) The palace had at least three separate water - management systems : one for supply , one for drainage of runoff , and one for drainage of waste water . Aqueducts brought fresh water to Kephala hill from springs at Archanes , about 10 km away . Springs there are the source of the Kairatos river , in the valley in which Kephala is located . The aqueduct branched to the palace and to the town . Water was distributed at the palace by gravity feed through terracotta pipes to fountains and spigots . The pipes were tapered at one end to make a pressure fit , with rope for sealing . No hidden springs have been discovered as at Mycenae . Sanitation drainage was through a closed system leading to a sewer apart from the hill . The queen 's megaron contained an example of the first water - flushing system latrine adjoining the bathroom . This toilet was a seat over a drain that was flushed by pouring water from a jug . The bathtub located in the adjoining bathroom similarly had to be filled by someone heating , carrying , and pouring water , and must have been drained by overturning into a floor drain or by bailing . This toilet and bathtub were exceptional structures within the 1,300 - room complex . As the hill was periodically drenched by torrential rains , a runoff system was a necessity . It began with channels in the flat surfaces , which were zigzag and contained catchment basins to control the water velocity . Probably the upper system was open . Manholes provided access to parts that were covered . Some links to photographs of parts of the water - collection - management system follow . Runoff system . Sloped channels lead from a catchment basin . Runoff system . Note the zig - zags and the catchment basin . Ventilation ( edit ) Due to its placement on the hill , the palace received sea breezes during the summer . It had porticoes and air shafts . Minoan columns ( edit ) The palace also includes the Minoan column , a structure notably different from Greek columns . Unlike the stone columns that are characteristic of Greek architecture , the Minoan column was constructed from the trunk of a cypress tree , common to the Mediterranean . While Greek columns are smaller at the top and wider at the bottom to create the illusion of greater height ( entasis ) , the Minoan columns are smaller at the bottom and wider at the top , a result of inverting the cypress trunk to prevent sprouting once in place . The columns at the Palace of Minos were painted red and mounted on stone bases with round , pillow - like capitals . Pottery ( edit ) Pithoi , or storage jars , at Knossos Main article : Minoan pottery Pottery at Knossos is prolific , heavily decorated and uniquely styled by period . It is used as a layer diagnostic . Comparing it to similar pottery elsewhere in the eastern Mediterranean , Evans established a wider chronology , which , on that account , is difficult to question successfully . On the negative side , careful records of the locations of some objects were not always kept , due to the very size of the project and the difficulties under which the archaeologists and workmen had to labor . Frescoes ( edit ) Main article : List of Aegean frescos Bull - leaping fresco now in the Heraklion Archaeological Museum . The duplicate shown here is fixed to the wall of the upper throne room . The palace at Knossos was a place of high color , as were Greek buildings in the classical period , and as are Greek buildings today . In the EM Period , the walls and pavements were coated with a pale red derived from red ochre . In addition to the background coloring , the walls displayed fresco panel murals , entirely of red . In the subsequent MM Period , with the development of the art , white and black were added , and then blue , green and yellow . The pigments were derived from natural materials , such as ground hematite . Outdoor panels were painted on fresh stucco with the motif in relief ; indoor , on fresh , pure plaster , softer than the plaster with additives ordinarily used on walls . The decorative motifs were generally bordered scenes : people , mythological creatures , real animals , rocks , vegetation , and marine life . The earliest imitated pottery motifs . Most have been reconstructed from various numbers of flakes fallen to the floor . Evans had various technicians and artists work on the project , some artists , some chemists and restorers . The symmetry and use of templates made possible a degree of reconstruction beyond what was warranted by only the flakes . For example , if evidence of the use of a certain template existed scantily in one place , the motif could be supplied from the template found somewhere else . Like the contemporary murals in the funerary art of the Egyptians , certain conventions were utilized that also assisted prediction . For example , male figures are shown with darker or redder skin than female figures . Some archaeological authors have objected that Evans and his restorers were not discovering the palace and civilization as it was , but were creating a modern artefact based on contemporary art and architecture . Throne room ( edit ) Main article : Throne Room , Knossos Throne from which the Throne Room was named , not the only throne at Knossos The centerpiece of the `` Minoan '' palace was the so - called Throne Room or Little Throne Room , dated to LM II . This chamber has an alabaster seat identified by Evans as a `` throne '' built into the north wall . On three sides of the room are gypsum benches . A sort of tub area is opposite the throne , behind the benches , termed a lustral basin , which means that Evans and his team saw it as a place for ceremonial purification . The room was accessed from an anteroom through two double doors . The anteroom was connected to the central court , which was four steps up through four doors . The anteroom had gypsum benches also , with carbonized remains between two of them thought to possibly be a wooden throne . Both rooms are located in the ceremonial complex on the west of the central court . Griffin couchant ( lying down ) facing throne The throne is flanked by the Griffin Fresco , with two griffins couchant ( lying down ) facing the throne , one on either side . Griffins were important mythological creatures , also appearing on seal rings , which were used to stamp the identities of the bearers into pliable material , such as clay or wax . The actual use of the room and the throne is unclear . The two main theories are as follows : The seat of a priest - king or his consort , the queen . This is the older theory , originating with Evans . In that regard Matz speaks of the `` heraldic arrangement '' of the griffins , meaning that they are more formal and monumental than previous Minoan decorative styles . In this theory , the Mycenaean Greeks would have held court in this room , as they came to power in Knossos at about 1450 . The `` lustral basin '' and the location of the room in a sanctuary complex can not be ignored ; hence , `` priest - king . '' A room reserved for the epiphany of a goddess , who would have sat in the throne , either in effigy , or in the person of a priestess , or in imagination only . In that case the griffins would have been purely a symbol of divinity rather than a heraldic motif . It is also speculated that the throne was made specifically for a female individual , since the indentation seems to be shaped for a woman 's buttocks . Also , the extensive use of curved edges and the crescent moon carved at its base both symbolize femininity . The lustral basin was originally thought to have had a ritual washing use , but the lack of drainage has more recently brought some scholars to doubt this theory . It is now speculated that the tank was used as an aquarium , or possibly a water reservoir . Society ( edit ) `` Prince of lilies '' or `` Priest - king Relief '' , plaster relief at the end of the Corridor of Processions , restored by Gilliéron , believed by Arthur Evans to be a priest - king , wearing a crown with peacock feathers and a necklace with lilies on it , leading an unseen animal to sacrifice . A long - standing debate between archaeologists concerns the main function of the palace , whether it acted as an administrative center , a religious center , or both , in a theocratic manner . Other important debates consider the role of Knossos in the administration of Bronze Age Crete , and whether Knossos acted as the primary center , or was on equal footing with the several other contemporaneous palaces that have been discovered on Crete . Many of these palaces were destroyed and abandoned in the early part of the 15th century BC , possibly by the Mycenaeans , although Knossos remained in use until it was destroyed by fire about one hundred years later . Knossos showed no signs of being a military site ; for example , it had neither fortifications nor stores of weapons .

( December 2009 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The cardiovascular centre is a part of the human brain responsible for the regulation of the rate at which the heart beats through the nervous and endocrine systems . It is found in the medulla oblongata . Normally , the heart beats without nervous control , but in some situations ( e.g. , exercise , body trauma ) , the cardiovascular centre is responsible for altering the rate at which the heart beats . It also mediates respiratory sinus arrhythmia . When a change of blood pH is detected by central chemoreceptors or by peripheral chemoreceptors in aortic bodies and in carotid bodies , or a change of blood pressure is detected by baroreceptors in the aortic sinuses or carotid sinuses , the cardiovascular centre affects changes to the heart rate by sending a nerve impulse to the cardiac pacemaker ( or SA node ) via sympathetic fibres ( to cause faster and stronger cardiac muscle contraction ) and the vagus nerve ( to cause slower and less strong cardiac muscle contraction ) . The cardiovascular centre also increases the stroke volume of the heart ( that is , the amount of blood it pumps ) . These two changes help to regulate the cardiac output , so that a sufficient amount of blood reaches tissue . Hormones like epinephrine and norepinephrine can affect the cardiovascular centre and cause it to increase the rate of impulses sent to the sinoatrial node , or pacemaker , resulting in faster and stronger cardiac muscle contraction and thus increasing the heart rate .

More than 450 translations into English have been written . The New Revised Standard Version is the version most commonly preferred by biblical scholars . In the United States , 55 % of survey respondents who read the Bible reported using the King James Version in 2014 , followed by 19 % for the New International Version , with other versions used by fewer than 10 % .

The English Bible was first translated from the Latin Vulgate into Old English by a few select monks and scholars . Such translations were generally in the form of prose or as interlinear glosses ( literal translations above the Latin words ) . Very few complete translations existed during that time . Most of the books of the Bible existed separately and were read as individual texts . Thus the sense of the Bible as history that often exists today did not exist at that time . Instead , an allegorical rendering of the Bible was more common and translations of the Bible often included the writer 's own commentary on passages in addition to the literal translation . Toward the end of the 7th century , the Venerable Bede began a translation of scripture into Old English ( often incorrectly called Anglo - Saxon ) . Aldhelm ( c. 639 -- 709 ) translated the complete Book of Psalms and large portions of other scriptures into Old English . In the 10th century an Old English translation of the Gospels was made in the Lindisfarne Gospels : a word - for - word gloss inserted between the lines of the Latin text by Aldred , Provost of Chester - le - Street . This is the oldest extant translation of the Gospels into the English language . The Wessex Gospels ( also known as the West - Saxon Gospels ) are a full translation of the four gospels into a West Saxon dialect of Old English . Produced in approximately 990 , they are the first translation of all four gospels into English without the Latin text . In the 11th century , Abbot Ælfric translated much of the Old Testament into Old English . The Old English Hexateuch is an illuminated manuscript of the first six books of the Old Testament without lavish illustrations and including a translation of the Book of Judges in addition to the 5 books of the Pentateuch . Middle English ( edit ) The Ormulum is in Middle English of the 12th century . Like its Old English precursor from Ælfric , an Abbot of Eynsham , it includes very little Biblical text , and focuses more on personal commentary . This style was adopted by many of the original English translators . For example , the story of the Wedding at Cana is almost 800 lines long , but fewer than 40 lines are the actual translation of the text . An unusual characteristic is that the translation mimics Latin verse , and so is similar to the better known and appreciated 14th - century English poem , Cursor Mundi . Richard Rolle ( 1290 -- 1349 ) wrote an English Psalter . Many religious works are attributed to Rolle , but it has been questioned how many are genuinely from his hand . Many of his works were concerned with personal devotion , and some were used by the Lollards . The 14th century theologian John Wycliffe is credited with translating what is now known as Wycliffe 's Bible , though it is not clear how much of the translation he himself did . This translation came out in two different versions . The earlier text is characterised by a strong adherence to the word order of Latin , and might have been difficult for the layperson to comprehend . The later text made more concessions to the native grammar of English . Modern English ( edit ) Main articles : Early Modern English Bible translations and Modern English Bible translations The site of St Thomas ' Hospital in London was where the first modern English Bible was printed in England . ( Note the error in the inscription : Miles Coverdale 's Bible , 1535 pre-dated this ) . Early Modern English Bible translations are of between about 1500 and 1800 , the period of Early Modern English . This , the first major period of Bible translation into the English language , began with the introduction of the Tyndale Bible . The first complete edition of his New Testament was in 1526 . Tyndale used the Greek and Hebrew texts of the New Testament ( NT ) and Old Testament ( OT ) in addition to Jerome 's Latin translation . He was the first translator to use the printing press -- this enabled the distribution of several thousand copies of his New Testament translation throughout England . Tyndale did not complete his Old Testament translation . The first printed English translation of the whole bible was produced by Miles Coverdale in 1535 , using Tyndale 's work together with his own translations from the Latin Vulgate or German text . After much scholarly debate it is concluded that this was printed in Antwerp and the colophon gives the date as 4th October 1535 . This first edition was adapted by Coverdale for his first `` authorised version '' , known as the Great Bible , of 1539 . Other early printed versions were the Geneva Bible ( 1560 ) , notable for being the first Bible divided into verses ; the Bishop 's Bible ( 1568 ) , which was an attempt by Elizabeth I to create a new authorised version ; and the Authorized King James Version of 1611 . The first complete Roman Catholic Bible in English was the Douay -- Rheims Bible , of which the New Testament portion was published in Rheims in 1582 and the Old Testament somewhat later in Douay in Gallicant Flanders . The Old Testament was completed by the time the New Testament was published , but due to extenuating circumstances and financial issues was not published until nearly three decades later , in two editions , the first released in 1609 , and the rest of the OT in 1610 . In this version , the seven deuterocanonical books are mingled with the other books , rather than kept separate in an appendix . While early English Bibles were generally based on a small number of Greek texts , or on Latin translations , modern English translations of the Bible are based on a wider variety of manuscripts in the original languages ( Greek and Hebrew ) . The translators put much scholarly effort into cross-checking the various sources such as the Septuagint , Textus Receptus , and Masoretic Text . Relatively recent discoveries such as the Dead Sea scrolls provide additional reference information . There is some controversy over which texts should be used as a basis for translation , as some of the alternate sources do not include phrases ( or sometimes entire verses ) which are found only in the Textus Receptus . Some say the alternate sources were poorly representative of the texts used in their time , whereas others claim the Textus Receptus includes passages that were added to the alternate texts improperly . These controversial passages are not the basis for disputed issues of doctrine , but tend to be additional stories or snippets of phrases . Many modern English translations , such as the New International Version , contain limited text notes indicating where differences occur in original sources . A somewhat greater number of textual differences are noted in the New King James Bible , indicating hundreds of New Testament differences between the Nestle - Aland , the Textus Receptus , and the Hodges edition of the Majority Text . The differences in the Old Testament are less well documented , but do contain some references to differences between consonantal interpretations in the Masoretic Text , the Dead Sea Scrolls , and the Septuagint . Even with these hundreds of differences , however , a more complete listing is beyond the scope of most single volume Bibles ( see Critical Translations below ) . Modern translations take different approaches to the rendering of the original languages of approaches . The approaches can usually be considered to be somewhere on a scale between the two extremes : Formal equivalence translation ( sometimes literal translation or formal correspondence ) in which the greatest effort is made to preserve the meaning of individual words and phrases in the original , with relatively less regard for its understandability by modern readers . Dynamic equivalence , sometimes called Paraphrastic translation , in which the translator attempts to render the sense and intent of the original . Examples of these versions include Tree of Life Bible , The Living Bible and The Message . Some translations have been motivated by a strong theological distinctive , such as the conviction that God 's name be preserved in a Semitic form , seen in Sacred Name Bibles . The Purified Translation of the Bible promotes the idea that Jesus and early Christians did not drink wine , but grape juice . The Jehovah 's Witnesses ' New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures renders the tetragrammaton as Jehovah throughout the Old Testament ; it also uses the form Jehovah in the New Testament , including but not limited to passages quoting the Old Testament , even though it does not appear in the Greek text .

Peterson 's The Message ( 2002 ) are largely the work of individual translators . Others , such as Robert Alter , N.T. Wright and Dele Ikeorha have translated portions of the Bible . Alternative approaches ( edit ) Most translations make the translators ' best attempt at a single rendering of the original , relying on footnotes where there might be alternative translations or textual variants . An alternative is taken by the Amplified Bible . In cases where a word or phrase admits of more than one meaning the Amplified Bible presents all the possible interpretations , allowing the reader to choose one . For example , the first two verses of the Amplified Bible read : In the beginning God ( Elohim ) created ( by forming from nothing ) the heavens and the earth . The earth was formless and void or a waste and emptiness , and darkness was upon the face of the deep ( primeval ocean that covered the unformed earth ) . The Spirit of God was moving ( hovering , brooding ) over the face of the waters . Single source translations ( edit ) While most translations attempt to synthesize the various texts in the original languages , some translations also translate one specific textual source , generally for scholarly reasons . A single volume example for the Old Testament is The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible ( ISBN 0 - 06 - 060064 - 0 ) by Martin Abegg , Peter Flint and Eugene Ulrich . The Comprehensive New Testament ( ISBN 978 - 0 - 9778737 - 1 - 5 ) by T.E. Clontz and J. Clontz presents a scholarly view of the New Testament text by conforming to the Nestle - Aland 27th edition and extensively annotating the translation to fully explain different textual sources and possible alternative translations . A Comparative Psalter ( ISBN 0 - 19 - 529760 - 1 ) edited by John Kohlenberger presents a comparative diglot translation of the Psalms of the Masoretic Text and the Septuagint , using the Revised Standard Version and the New English Translation of the Septuagint . R.A. Knox 's Translation of the Vulgate into English is another example of a single source translation . Jewish translations ( edit ) Main article : Jewish English Bible translations Jewish English Bible translations are modern English Bible translations that include the books of the Hebrew Bible ( Tanakh ) according to the masoretic text , and according to the traditional division and order of Torah , Nevi'im , and Ketuvim . Jewish translations often also reflect traditional Jewish interpretations of the Bible , as opposed to the Christian understanding that is often reflected in non-Jewish translations . For example , Jewish translations translate עלמה ' almâh in Isaiah 7 : 14 as young woman , while many Christian translations render the word as virgin . While modern biblical scholarship is similar for both Christians and Jews , there are distinctive features of Jewish translations , even those created by academic scholars . These include the avoidance of Christological interpretations , adherence to the Masoretic Text ( at least in the main body of the text , as in the new Jewish Publication Society ( JPS ) translation ) and greater use of classical Jewish exegesis . Some translations prefer names transliterated from the Hebrew , though the majority of Jewish translations use the Anglicized forms of biblical names . The first English Jewish translation of the Bible into English was by Isaac Leeser in the 19th century . The JPS produced two of the most popular Jewish translations , namely the JPS The Holy Scriptures of 1917 and the NJPS Tanakh ( first printed in a single volume in 1985 , second edition in 1999 ) . Since the 1980s there have been multiple efforts among Orthodox publishers to produce translations that are not only Jewish , but also adhere to Orthodox norms . Among these are The Living Torah and Nach by Aryeh Kaplan and others , the Torah and other portions in an ongoing project by Everett Fox , and the ArtScroll Tanakh . Popularity ( edit ) The evangelical Christian Booksellers Association lists the most popular versions of the Bible sold by their members in the United States . Through 29 December 2012 , the top 5 best selling translations ( based on both dollar and unit sales ) are as follows : New International Version King James Version New Living Translation New King James Version English Standard Version Sales are affected by denomination and religious affiliation . For example , the most popular Jewish version would not compete with rankings of a larger audience . Sales data can be affected by the method of marketing . Some translations are directly marketed to particular denominations or local churches , and many Christian booksellers only offer Protestant Bibles , so books in other biblical canons ( such as Catholic and Orthodox Bibles ) may not appear as high on the CBA rank . A study published in 2014 by The Center for the Study of Religion and American Culture at Indiana University and Purdue University found that Americans read versions of the Bible as follows : King James Version ( 55 % ) New International Version ( 19 % ) New Revised Standard Version ( 7 % ) New American Bible ( 6 % ) The Living Bible ( 5 % ) All other translations ( 8 % ) See also ( edit ) Bible translations into the languages of Europe List of English Bible translations References ( edit ) Jump up ^ A Discussion of Bible Translations and Biblical Scholarship Archived 2016 - 09 - 04 at the Wayback Machine .

Contents ( hide ) 1 Plot 2 Cast 3 Production 4 Reception 4.1 Critical response 4.2 Box office 5 Home media 6 References 7 External links Plot ( edit ) Odd Thomas ( Yelchin ) is a psychic who lives in a small town in California . He describes his ability as , `` I see dead people , but then , by God , I do something about it . '' One morning the ghost of a teenage girl , Penny Kallisto , silently leads him to Harlo Landerson . Odd accuses Harlo of raping and murdering Penny . Harlo flees . Odd chases him to a pool party and into a child 's bedroom in a stranger 's house . Harlo and Odd fight and Harlo is knocked unconscious . Odd 's friend , police chief Wyatt Porter ( Dafoe ) , is aware of Odd 's psychic gifts and promises to spin the story to keep public attention away from him . Odd has a vision of faceless people wearing bowling shirts who cry out to him to save them . A faceless gunman shoots them all , including Odd . Recovering from the disturbing dream , he goes to his job as a short - order cook . He serves lunch to a strange man named Hensley , whose hair resembles some kind of mold . Hensley is surrounded by dozens of bodachs , who were initially interested in his girlfriend , coworker / friend and Porter , invisible creatures that feed on evil and carnage that only Odd can see . Odd 's co-worker , Viola Peabody ( Mbatha - Raw ) , recounts a strange dream in which she saw herself shot dead with another man . The man 's clothing is identical to that worn by the faceless people in Odd 's vision . Odd uses his psychic magnetism to find Hensley ; the trail leads to the mall where Odd 's girlfriend Stormy ( Timlin ) is manager at an ice cream shop . Odd borrows Stormy 's scooter to follow Hensley home . When Hensley leaves again , Odd breaks into his house . He finds an ashtray with several brands of cigarette butts in it , indicating that Hensley had visitors . Odd learns that the man 's real name is Bob Robertson ; he and Stormy refer to him as `` Fungus Bob '' . Odd finds a file containing newspaper clippings of mass murderers , arranged by name . There is also a blank calendar page for the next day ; Odd realizes that Robertson is planning something bad on that date . Odd reports this to Chief Porter , at his house where he also encounters Officer Eckles and Lysette , who once dated Harlo , being set up by Chief Porter and his wife . Porter assigns two deputies to follow Fungus Bob . Odd meets Stormy for dinner in the belfry of a church . He sees Fungus Bob approaching and they flee to the sacristy . As they escape the church , Robertson destroys the sacristy . Stormy calls Chief Porter , who finds the church vandalized but no evidence to link it to Robertson . Odd 's psychic magnetism leads him and Stormy to a bowling alley , where the bowling shirts from his vision have just become the new uniform . Chief Porter sends Officer Simon Varner ( Tortorella ) to watch the place on Odd 's advice . Varner asks Odd about Robertson and is surprised to learn that Odd had encountered him only a few hours ago . He presses Odd for more information . Stormy interrupts by asking about Varner 's visible tattoo , the letters `` POD '' . Varner dismisses it as an embarrassment from his youth , an abbreviated obscenity that he wo n't discuss . Viola remembers more details of her dream ; she tells Odd that she and the man in the bowling shirt were not the only victims of the shooting , and a large group of people were killed . Odd sees bodachs hovering over Vi 's daughters , and he advises her to leave town with her daughters immediately . While driving home , Stormy is overcome with fear for Odd 's safety and he tries to comfort her . They hear a woman screaming . Odd finds Lysette , a friend of Chief Porter and his wife , who has been mauled to death by dogs resembling those at Robertson 's home . Another man was said to have tried to rescue the woman by shooting the dogs , but was too late . Returning to Stormy 's apartment , Odd sees what he assumes to be a police van watching the building , he returns to his apartment . He finds Fungus Bob shot to death in his bathtub , with evidence framing Odd for the murder . Odd surmises that if he goes to the police , Porter will be required to arrest him based on the evidence , preventing him from preventing the next day 's disaster . He discovers that Bob has been dead for quite some time and deduces that the encounter at the church was with the dead man 's restless spirit . Wrapping the body in sheets , Odd dumps the corpse in the execution chamber of an abandoned prison . As he drives back through town , the magnitude of the coming disaster is indicated by the swarming of hundreds of bodachs . Chief Porter is shot in a home invasion . Odd rushes to the hospital and learns that Porter is alive thanks to a metal trinket Odd had given him , but in serious condition . Returning to Bob 's home , Odd finds a receipt for a moving van and improvised explosives , and browser bookmarks for Satanic websites . He searches the fridge and freezer and discovers various human body parts as well . Robertson 's poltergeist destroys the house as Odd escapes , though he lost his cell phone in the process . Odd investigates Bob 's fatal bullet wound , and finds a tattoo matching Varner 's . He realizes that `` POD '' is an abbreviation for `` Prince of Darkness '' . Odd realizes that Robertson was eliminated by his co-conspirators because Odd had begun to look into him . Odd 's psychic magnetism leads him back to the mall . He finds Officer Eckles has murdered the mall security staff . Odd disables him with a baseball bat . He takes Eckles 's pistol and seeks out Varner . Hearing screams from the end of the mall where Stormy works , he hurries to the site . He spots another gunman firing off an automatic weapon . Odd fires at him with Eckles 's weapon as the gunman has emptied his magazine . Odd continues to shoot at him while being surrounded with bodachs . When the gunman inserts another magazine and is about to kill Odd , Odd shoots and kills him instead . The lingering spirit of Lysette appears to direct him to the loading dock . Odd removes the gunman 's mask and recognizes him as the man who they thought tried to rescue Lysette . Odd rushes to the loading dock where he discovers Bob 's moving van packed with explosives on a timer , apparently part of a plan to kill the shoppers in the mall and possibly any arriving first responders . Varner , possessed by a larger and more savvy bodach , returns and shoots Odd as Odd manages to start the van and drive it away from the mall . Varner clings to the outside of the van , attempting to kill Odd . Odd jumps from the van as Varner enters the cab , and the van crashes into a man - made canal and explodes , incinerating Varner but killing no one else . A black , shrieking spirit escapes from the flames . Odd wakes in the hospital . Stormy is attending him . Viola greets him and tells him that Porter has been released from intensive care . Odd is a local hero . He retreats to Stormy 's apartment to enjoy uninterrupted time with her . Porter , his wife , and Viola arrive and reveal what he already knows : Stormy was killed in the mall shooting and he has been spending time with her lingering spirit . Porter , realizing that Stormy is staying in this world only for Odd , advises him to let her go . Odd bids her a tearful farewell , promising her that they 'll be reunited one day . Odd travels to Las Vegas to continue his crusade to help the living and the lingering dead , believing that he is not yet worthy of an afterlife with Stormy .

Production ( edit ) Anton Yelchin was attached to star in the film early on . Summers said that Yelchin was his only choice to play Odd Thomas . Early casting announcements included 50 Cent as Shamus Cocobolo as well as Lily Collins and Tim Robbins none of whom ultimately ended up appearing in the film . Production began in May 2011 in Santa Fe , New Mexico and Albuquerque . Dean Koontz himself enjoyed the film saying `` It is so wonderful that I am whacked flat by happiness . '' The film wrapped in 2011 but was delayed . In July 2013 , it was reported that the release of the film had been delayed because of legal action by Two Out of Ten Productions against Outsource Media Group and others for breach of contract . The suit alleges that $25 million should have been spent on prints and advertising to support a release of Odd Thomas in the U.S. , and another $10 million to partially refinance certain loans . Reception ( edit ) Critical response ( edit ) Odd Thomas received mixed reviews from film critics . Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gives it a rating of 34 % rating based on reviews from 41 critics , with an average score of 5.2 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus states : `` Anton Yelchin is the right man for the title role , but Odd Thomas suffers from a jumbled tone . '' Metacritic gives it a score of 45 / 100 , based on reviews from 11 critics , indicating `` mixed or average reviews '' . Brian Tallerico for RogerEbert.com gave it one and a half stars calling it `` a film that 's going through the motions with too little character , style , or atmosphere to keep it engaging . '' Dennis Harvey for Variety said the film `` is neither witty nor macabre enough to pull off Koontz 's balance of elements in cinematic terms . So it winds up coming off as just another CGI - laden ride that 's at once overstuffed and undernourished . '' John DeFore of The Hollywood Reporter found the script felt rushed and while the cast was enjoyable `` Odd Thomas just does n't leave us with much desire to return there . '' Drew Taylor for IndieWire gave the film a B and called it `` the best Koontz adaptation , by a fairly considerable margin . '' Box office ( edit ) The movie was a box office bomb . It began its theatrical roll - out in the Philippines on July 17 , 2013 . It debuted at # 6 taking in $52,623 from 35 screens . The film ended its two - week run with $118,835 . The film opened in Finland where it took in $6,309 from 31 screens for a 14th - place finish . Home Media ( edit ) The film was released on DVD in the UK in February 2014 . A German dubbed version was released in December 2013 . As of October 2015 , Odd Thomas is available to watch on Netflix 's streaming service in some areas .

The event was originally called the Hall of Fame Bowl from 1986 to 1994 until being renamed in 1995 for its new title sponsor , Outback Steakhouse . It is organized by the Tampa Bay Bowl Association under Jim McVay , who has been the president / CEO since 1988 .

However , the earlier event matched small college teams , so the Outback / Hall of Fame Bowl is the first major bowl game to be played in the area . Hall of Fame Bowl ( edit ) The Hall of Fame Classic was held at Legion Field in Birmingham , Alabama from 1977 to 1985 . In the spring of 1986 , the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame decided to discontinue their association with the bowl and realign with a new bowl game to be played in Tampa Stadium which would inherit the Hall of Fame Bowl name . Initially , the Hall of Fame Bowl did not have agreements with any conferences , so it usually matched a school from either the Southeastern Conference or the Atlantic Coast Conference against a team from another region of the country . Outback Bowl ( edit ) Outback Steakhouse became the game 's title sponsor in 1995 . At the same time , the newly renamed Outback Bowl signed agreements with the Southeastern Conference and the Big Ten Conference , creating an annual inter-sectional matchup that has continued ever since . In 1999 , the Outback Bowl moved from Tampa Stadium into Raymond James Stadium , which had recently been built adjacent to the old stadium . The game ( edit ) The Outback Bowl is played on New Year 's Day unless January 1 falls on a Sunday , in which case it is moved to the following Monday . It is usually the first game to start on a day which is traditionally full of college bowl games , and has kicked off as early as 11AM . ESPN has had television rights to the game since 1993 . Under an extension of those rights signed in 2010 , ESPN broadcasts the game on either ABC , ESPN , or ESPN2 , in conjunction with the Citrus Bowl and the New Year 's Six bowl games . Before 1993 , the Hall of Fame Bowl aired on NBC . Upon signing agreements with the SEC and Big 10 in 1995 , the Outback Bowl had the third pick of teams from each conference after the Bowl Championship Series teams were placed . Since 2014 , both the SEC and Big 10 have worked with a group of several bowl games , including the Outback Bowl , to place their bowl - eligible teams after the College Football Playoff and associated bowls have made their selections . As of 2017 , the Outback Bowl payout was $3.5 million for each team . Game results ( edit ) For `` Hall of Fame Bowl '' results from 1977 to 1985 , see All - American Bowl .

5847957434662595977 | Email | Email - wikipedia Email This article is about the communications medium . For the former manufacturing conglomerate , see Email Limited . `` Inbox '' redirects here . For the Google product , see Inbox by Gmail . This screenshot shows the `` Inbox '' page of an email client , where users can see new emails and take actions , such as reading , deleting , saving , or responding to these messages The at sign , a part of every SMTP email address Electronic mail ( email or e-mail ) is a method of exchanging messages ( `` mail '' ) between people using electronic devices . Invented by Ray Tomlinson , email first entered limited use in the 1960s and by the mid-1970s had taken the form now recognized as email . Email operates across computer networks , which today is primarily the Internet . Some early email systems required the author and the recipient to both be online at the same time , in common with instant messaging . Today 's email systems are based on a store - and - forward model . Email servers accept , forward , deliver , and store messages . Neither the users nor their computers are required to be online simultaneously ; they need to connect only briefly , typically to a mail server or a webmail interface , for as long as it takes to send or receive messages . Originally an ASCII text - only communications medium , Internet email was extended by Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions ( MIME ) to carry text in other character sets and multimedia content attachments . International email , with internationalized email addresses using UTF - 8 , has been standardized , but as of 2017 it has not been widely adopted . The history of modern Internet email services reaches back to the early ARPANET , with standards for encoding email messages published as early as 1973 ( RFC 561 ) . An email message sent in the early 1970s looks very similar to a basic email sent today . Email had an important role in creating the Internet , and the conversion from ARPANET to the Internet in the early 1980s produced the core of the current services . Contents ( hide ) 1 Terminology 2 Origin 3 Operation 4 Message format 4.1 Message header 4.1. 1 Header fields 4.2 Message body 4.2. 1 Content encoding 4.2. 2 Plain text and HTML 5 Servers and client applications 5.1 Filename extensions 5.2 URI scheme mailto 6 Types 6.1 Web - based email 6.2 POP3 email services 6.3 IMAP email servers 6.4 MAPI email servers 7 Uses 7.1 Business and organizational use 7.1. 1 Email marketing 7.2 Personal use 7.2. 1 Personal computer 7.2. 2 Mobile 7.2. 3 Declining use among young people 8 Issues 8.1 Attachment size limitation 8.2 Information overload 8.3 Spam 8.4 Malware 8.5 Email spoofing 8.6 Email bombing 8.7 Privacy concerns 8.8 Flaming 8.9 Email bankruptcy 8.10 Internationalization 8.11 Tracking of sent mail 9 See also 10 References 11 Further reading 12 External links Terminology ( edit ) Historically , the term electronic mail was used generically for any electronic document transmission . For example , several writers in the early 1970s used the term to describe fax document transmission . As a result , it is difficult to find the first citation for the use of the term with the more specific meaning it has today . Electronic mail has been most commonly called email or e-mail since around 1993 , but variations of the spelling have been used : email is the most common form used online , and is required by IETF Requests for Comments ( RFC ) and working groups and increasingly by style guides . This spelling also appears in most dictionaries . e-mail is the format that sometimes appears in edited , published American English and British English writing as reflected in the Corpus of Contemporary American English data , but is falling out of favor in some style guides . mail was the form used in the original protocol standard , RFC 524 . The service is referred to as mail , and a single piece of electronic mail is called a message . EMail is a traditional form that has been used in RFCs for the `` Author 's Address '' and is expressly required `` for historical reasons '' . E-mail is sometimes used , capitalizing the initial E as in similar abbreviations like E-piano , E-guitar , A-bomb , and H - bomb . An Internet e-mail consists of an envelope and content ; the content in turn consists of a header and a body . Origin ( edit ) Main article : History of email Computer - based mail and messaging became possible with the advent of time - sharing computers in the early 1960s , and informal methods of using shared files to pass messages were soon expanded into the first mail systems . Most developers of early mainframes and minicomputers developed similar , but generally incompatible , mail applications . Over time , a complex web of gateways and routing systems linked many of them . Many US universities were part of the ARPANET ( created in the late 1960s ) , which aimed at software portability between its systems . That portability helped make the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol ( SMTP ) increasingly influential . For a time in the late 1980s and early 1990s , it seemed likely that either a proprietary commercial system or the X. 400 email system , part of the Government Open Systems Interconnection Profile ( GOSIP ) , would predominate . However , once the final restrictions on carrying commercial traffic over the Internet ended in 1995 , a combination of factors made the current Internet suite of SMTP , POP3 and IMAP email protocols the standard . Operation ( edit ) The diagram to the right shows a typical sequence of events that takes place when sender Alice transmits a message using a mail user agent ( MUA ) addressed to the email address of the recipient . Email operation The MUA formats the message in email format and uses the submission protocol , a profile of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol ( SMTP ) , to send the message content to the local mail submission agent ( MSA ) , in this case smtp.a.org . The MSA determines the destination address provided in the SMTP protocol ( not from the message header ) , in this case [email protected] . The part before the @ sign is the local part of the address , often the username of the recipient , and the part after the @ sign is a domain name . The MSA resolves a domain name to determine the fully qualified domain name of the mail server in the Domain Name System ( DNS ) . The DNS server for the domain b.org ( ns.b.org ) responds with any MX records listing the mail exchange servers for that domain , in this case mx.b.org , a message transfer agent ( MTA ) server run by the recipient 's ISP . smtp.a.org sends the message to mx.b.org using SMTP . This server may need to forward the message to other MTAs before the message reaches the final message delivery agent ( MDA ) . The MDA delivers it to the mailbox of user bob . Bob 's MUA picks up the message using either the Post Office Protocol ( POP3 ) or the Internet Message Access Protocol ( IMAP ) . In addition to this example , alternatives and complications exist in the email system : Alice or Bob may use a client connected to a corporate email system , such as IBM Lotus Notes or Microsoft Exchange . These systems often have their own internal email format and their clients typically communicate with the email server using a vendor - specific , proprietary protocol . The server sends or receives email via the Internet through the product 's Internet mail gateway which also does any necessary reformatting . If Alice and Bob work for the same company , the entire transaction may happen completely within a single corporate email system . Alice may not have a MUA on her computer but instead may connect to a webmail service . Alice 's computer may run its own MTA , so avoiding the transfer at step 1 . Bob may pick up his email in many ways , for example logging into mx.b.org and reading it directly , or by using a webmail service . Domains usually have several mail exchange servers so that they can continue to accept mail even if the primary is not available . Many MTAs used to accept messages for any recipient on the Internet and do their best to deliver them . Such MTAs are called open mail relays . This was very important in the early days of the Internet when network connections were unreliable . However , this mechanism proved to be exploitable by originators of unsolicited bulk email and as a consequence open mail relays have become rare , and many MTAs do not accept messages from open mail relays . Message format ( edit ) The Internet email message format is now defined by RFC 5322 , with encoding of non-ASCII data and multimedia content attachments being defined in RFC 2045 through RFC 2049 , collectively called Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions or MIME . RFC 5322 replaced the earlier RFC 2822 in 2008 , and in turn RFC 2822 in 2001 replaced RFC 822 -- which had been the standard for Internet email for nearly 20 years . Published in 1982 , RFC 822 was based on the earlier RFC 733 for the ARPANET . Internet email messages consist of two major sections , the message header and the message body , collectively known as content . The header is structured into fields such as From , To , CC , Subject , Date , and other information about the email . In the process of transporting email messages between systems , SMTP communicates delivery parameters and information using message header fields . The body contains the message , as unstructured text , sometimes containing a signature block at the end . The header is separated from the body by a blank line . Message header ( edit ) Each message has exactly one header , which is structured into fields . Each field has a name and a value . RFC 5322 specifies the precise syntax . Informally , each line of text in the header that begins with a printable character begins a separate field . The field name starts in the first character of the line and ends before the separator character `` : '' . The separator is then followed by the field value ( the `` body '' of the field ) . The value is continued onto subsequent lines if those lines have a space or tab as their first character . Field names and values are restricted to 7 - bit ASCII characters . Some non-ASCII values may be represented using MIME encoded words . Header fields ( edit ) Email header fields can be multi-line , and each line should be at most 78 characters long and in no event more than 998 characters long . Header fields defined by RFC 5322 can only contain US - ASCII characters ; for encoding characters in other sets , a syntax specified in RFC 2047 can be used . Recently the IETF EAI working group has defined some standards track extensions , replacing previous experimental extensions , to allow UTF - 8 encoded Unicode characters to be used within the header . In particular , this allows email addresses to use non-ASCII characters . Such addresses are supported by Google and Microsoft products , and promoted by some governments . The message header must include at least the following fields : From : The email address , and optionally the name of the author ( s ) . In many email clients not changeable except through changing account settings . Date : The local time and date when the message was written . Like the From : field , many email clients fill this in automatically when sending . The recipient 's client may then display the time in the format and time zone local to them . RFC 3864 describes registration procedures for message header fields at the IANA ; it provides for permanent and provisional field names , including also fields defined for MIME , netnews , and HTTP , and referencing relevant RFCs . Common header fields for email include : To : The email address ( es ) , and optionally name ( s ) of the message 's recipient ( s ) . Indicates primary recipients ( multiple allowed ) , for secondary recipients see Cc : and Bcc : below . Subject : A brief summary of the topic of the message . Certain abbreviations are commonly used in the subject , including `` RE : '' and `` FW : '' . Cc : Carbon copy ; Many email clients will mark email in one 's inbox differently depending on whether they are in the To : or Cc : list . ( Bcc : Blind carbon copy ; addresses are usually only specified during SMTP delivery , and not usually listed in the message header . ) Content - Type : Information about how the message is to be displayed , usually a MIME type . Precedence : commonly with values `` bulk '' , `` junk '' , or `` list '' ; used to indicate that automated `` vacation '' or `` out of office '' responses should not be returned for this mail , e.g. to prevent vacation notices from being sent to all other subscribers of a mailing list . Sendmail uses this field to affect prioritization of queued email , with `` Precedence : special - delivery '' messages delivered sooner . With modern high - bandwidth networks , delivery priority is less of an issue than it once was . Microsoft Exchange respects a fine - grained automatic response suppression mechanism , the X-Auto - Response - Suppress field . Message - ID : Also an automatically generated field ; used to prevent multiple delivery and for reference in In - Reply - To : ( see below ) . In - Reply - To : Message - ID of the message that this is a reply to . Used to link related messages together . This field only applies for reply messages . References : Message - ID of the message that this is a reply to , and the message - id of the message the previous reply was a reply to , etc . Reply - To : Address that should be used to reply to the message . Sender : Address of the actual sender acting on behalf of the author listed in the From : field ( secretary , list manager , etc . ) . Archived - At : A direct link to the archived form of an individual email message . Note that the To : field is not necessarily related to the addresses to which the message is delivered . The actual delivery list is supplied separately to the transport protocol , SMTP , which may or may not originally have been extracted from the header content . The `` To : '' field is similar to the addressing at the top of a conventional letter which is delivered according to the address on the outer envelope . In the same way , the `` From : '' field does not have to be the real sender of the email message . Some mail servers apply email authentication systems to messages being relayed . Data pertaining to server 's activity is also part of the header , as defined below . SMTP defines the trace information of a message , which is also saved in the header using the following two fields : Received : when an SMTP server accepts a message it inserts this trace record at the top of the header ( last to first ) . Return - Path : when the delivery SMTP server makes the final delivery of a message , it inserts this field at the top of the header . Other fields that are added on top of the header by the receiving server may be called trace fields , in a broader sense . Authentication - Results : when a server carries out authentication checks , it can save the results in this field for consumption by downstream agents . Received - SPF : stores results of SPF checks in more detail than Authentication - Results . Auto - Submitted : is used to mark automatically generated messages . VBR - Info : claims VBR whitelisting Message body ( edit ) Content encoding ( edit ) Internet email was originally designed for 7 - bit ASCII . Most email software is 8 - bit clean but must assume it will communicate with 7 - bit servers and mail readers . The MIME standard introduced character set specifiers and two content transfer encodings to enable transmission of non-ASCII data : quoted printable for mostly 7 - bit content with a few characters outside that range and base64 for arbitrary binary data . The 8BITMIME and BINARY extensions were introduced to allow transmission of mail without the need for these encodings , but many mail transport agents still do not support them fully . In some countries , several encoding schemes coexist ; as the result , by default , the message in a non-Latin alphabet language appears in non-readable form ( the only exception is coincidence , when the sender and receiver use the same encoding scheme ) . Therefore , for international character sets , Unicode is growing in popularity . Plain text and HTML ( edit ) Most modern graphic email clients allow the use of either plain text or HTML for the message body at the option of the user . HTML email messages often include an automatically generated plain text copy as well , for compatibility reasons . Advantages of HTML include the ability to include in - line links and images , set apart previous messages in block quotes , wrap naturally on any display , use emphasis such as underlines and italics , and change font styles . Disadvantages include the increased size of the email , privacy concerns about web bugs , abuse of HTML email as a vector for phishing attacks and the spread of malicious software . Some web - based mailing lists recommend that all posts be made in plain - text , with 72 or 80 characters per line for all the above reasons , but also because they have a significant number of readers using text - based email clients such as Mutt . Some Microsoft email clients allow rich formatting using their proprietary Rich Text Format ( RTF ) , but this should be avoided unless the recipient is guaranteed to have a compatible email client . Servers and client applications ( edit ) The interface of an email client , Thunderbird . Messages are exchanged between hosts using the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol with software programs called mail transfer agents ( MTAs ) ; and delivered to a mail store by programs called mail delivery agents ( MDAs , also sometimes called local delivery agents , LDAs ) . Accepting a message obliges an MTA to deliver it , and when a message can not be delivered , that MTA must send a bounce message back to the sender , indicating the problem . Users can retrieve their messages from servers using standard protocols such as POP or IMAP , or , as is more likely in a large corporate environment , with a proprietary protocol specific to Novell Groupwise , Lotus Notes or Microsoft Exchange Servers . Programs used by users for retrieving , reading , and managing email are called mail user agents ( MUAs ) . Mail can be stored on the client , on the server side , or in both places . Standard formats for mailboxes include Maildir and mbox . Several prominent email clients use their own proprietary format and require conversion software to transfer email between them . Server - side storage is often in a proprietary format but since access is through a standard protocol such as IMAP , moving email from one server to another can be done with any MUA supporting the protocol . Many current email users do not run MTA , MDA or MUA programs themselves , but use a web - based email platform , such as Gmail , Hotmail , or Yahoo ! Mail , that performs the same tasks . Such webmail interfaces allow users to access their mail with any standard web browser , from any computer , rather than relying on an email client . Filename extensions ( edit ) Upon reception of email messages , email client applications save messages in operating system files in the file system . Some clients save individual messages as separate files , while others use various database formats , often proprietary , for collective storage . A historical standard of storage is the mbox format . The specific format used is often indicated by special filename extensions : eml Used by many email clients including Novell GroupWise , Microsoft Outlook Express , Lotus notes , Windows Mail , Mozilla Thunderbird , and Postbox . The files contain the email contents as plain text in MIME format , containing the email header and body , including attachments in one or more of several formats . emlx Used by Apple Mail . msg Used by Microsoft Office Outlook and OfficeLogic Groupware . mbx Used by Opera Mail , KMail , and Apple Mail based on the mbox format . Some applications ( like Apple Mail ) leave attachments encoded in messages for searching while also saving separate copies of the attachments . Others separate attachments from messages and save them in a specific directory . URI scheme mailto ( edit ) Main article : mailto The URI scheme , as registered with the IANA , defines the mailto : scheme for SMTP email addresses . Though its use is not strictly defined , URLs of this form are intended to be used to open the new message window of the user 's mail client when the URL is activated , with the address as defined by the URL in the To : field . Types ( edit ) Web - based email ( edit ) Main article : Webmail Many email providers have a web - based email client ( e.g. AOL Mail , Gmail , Outlook.com , Hotmail and Yahoo ! Mail ) . This allows users to log into the email account by using any compatible web browser to send and receive their email . Mail is typically not downloaded to the client , so ca n't be read without a current Internet connection . POP3 email services ( edit ) The Post Office Protocol 3 ( POP3 ) is a mail access protocol used by a client application to read messages from the mail server . Received messages are often deleted from the server . POP supports simple download - and - delete requirements for access to remote mailboxes ( termed maildrop in the POP RFC 's ) . IMAP email servers ( edit ) The Internet Message Access Protocol ( IMAP ) provides features to manage a mailbox from multiple devices . Small portable devices like smartphones are increasingly used to check email while travelling , and to make brief replies , larger devices with better keyboard access being used to reply at greater length . IMAP shows the headers of messages , the sender and the subject and the device needs to request to download specific messages . Usually mail is left in folders in the mail server . MAPI email servers ( edit ) Messaging Application Programming Interface ( MAPI ) is used by Microsoft Outlook to communicate to Microsoft Exchange Server - and to a range of other email server products such as Axigen Mail Server , Kerio Connect , Scalix , Zimbra , HP OpenMail , IBM Lotus Notes , Zarafa , and Bynari where vendors have added MAPI support to allow their products to be accessed directly via Outlook .

( November 2007 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Business and organizational use ( edit ) Email has been widely accepted by business , governments and non-governmental organizations in the developed world , and it is one of the key parts of an ' e-revolution ' in workplace communication ( with the other key plank being widespread adoption of highspeed Internet ) . A sponsored 2010 study on workplace communication found 83 % of U.S. knowledge workers felt email was critical to their success and productivity at work . It has some key benefits to business and other organizations , including : Facilitating logistics Much of the business world relies on communications between people who are not physically in the same building , area , or even country ; setting up and attending an in - person meeting , telephone call , or conference call can be inconvenient , time - consuming , and costly . Email provides a method of exchanging information between two or more people with no set - up costs and that is generally far less expensive than a physical meeting or phone call . Helping with synchronisation With real time communication by meetings or phone calls , participants must work on the same schedule , and each participant must spend the same amount of time in the meeting or call . Email allows asynchrony : each participant may control their schedule independently . Reducing cost Sending an email is much less expensive than sending postal mail , or long distance telephone calls , telex or telegrams . Increasing speed Much faster than most of the alternatives . Creating a `` written '' record Unlike a telephone or in - person conversation , email by its nature creates a detailed written record of the communication , the identity of the sender ( s ) and recipient ( s ) and the date and time the message was sent . In the event of a contract or legal dispute , saved emails can be used to prove that an individual was advised of certain issues , as each email has the date and time recorded on it . Email marketing ( edit ) Email marketing via `` opt - in '' is often successfully used to send special sales offerings and new product information . Depending on the recipient 's culture , email sent without permission -- such as an `` opt - in '' -- is likely to be viewed as unwelcome `` email spam '' . Personal use ( edit ) Personal computer ( edit ) Many users access their personal email from friends and family members using a personal computer in their house or apartment . Mobile ( edit ) Email has become used on smartphones and on all types of computers . Mobile `` apps '' for email increase accessibility to the medium for users who are out of their home . While in the earliest years of email , users could only access email on desktop computers , in the 2010s , it is possible for users to check their email when they are away from home , whether they are across town or across the world . Alerts can also be sent to the smartphone or other device to notify them immediately of new messages . This has given email the ability to be used for more frequent communication between users and allowed them to check their email and write messages throughout the day . As of 2011 , there were approximately 1.4 billion email users worldwide and 50 billion non-spam emails that were sent daily . Individuals often check email on smartphones for both personal and work - related messages . It was found that US adults check their email more than they browse the web or check their Facebook accounts , making email the most popular activity for users to do on their smartphones . 78 % of the respondents in the study revealed that they check their email on their phone . It was also found that 30 % of consumers use only their smartphone to check their email , and 91 % were likely to check their email at least once per day on their smartphone . However , the percentage of consumers using email on smartphone ranges and differs dramatically across different countries . For example , in comparison to 75 % of those consumers in the US who used it , only 17 % in India did . Declining use among Young people ( edit ) As of 2010 , the number of Americans visiting email web sites had fallen 6 percent after peaking in November 2009 . For persons 12 to 17 , the number was down 18 percent . Young people preferred instant messaging , texting and social media . Technology writer Matt Richtel said in The New York Times that email was like the VCR , vinyl records and film cameras -- no longer cool and something older people do . A 2015 survey of Android users showed that persons 13 to 24 used messaging apps 3.5 times as much as those over 45 , and were far less likely to use email .

Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( October 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Attachment size limitation ( edit ) Main article : Email attachment Email messages may have one or more attachments , which are additional files that are appended to the email . Typical attachments include Microsoft Word documents , pdf documents and scanned images of paper documents . In principle there is no technical restriction on the size or number of attachments , but in practice email clients , servers and Internet service providers implement various limitations on the size of files , or complete email - typically to 25MB or less . Furthermore , due to technical reasons , attachment sizes as seen by these transport systems can differ to what the user sees , which can be confusing to senders when trying to assess whether they can safely send a file by email . Where larger files need to be shared , file hosting services of various sorts are available ; and generally suggested . Some large files , such as digital photos , color presentations and video or music files are too large for some email systems . Information overload ( edit ) The ubiquity of email for knowledge workers and `` white collar '' employees has led to concerns that recipients face an `` information overload '' in dealing with increasing volumes of email . With the growth in mobile devices , by default employees may also receive work - related emails outside of their working day . This can lead to increased stress , decreased satisfaction with work , and some observers even argue it could have a significant negative economic effect , as efforts to read the many emails could reduce productivity . Spam ( edit ) Main article : Email spam Email `` spam '' is the term used to describe unsolicited bulk email . The low cost of sending such email meant that by 2003 up to 30 % of total email traffic was already spam. and was threatening the usefulness of email as a practical tool . The US CAN - SPAM Act of 2003 and similar laws elsewhere had some impact , and a number of effective anti-spam techniques now largely mitigate the impact of spam by filtering or rejecting it for most users , but the volume sent is still very high -- and increasingly consists not of advertisements for products , but malicious content or links . Malware ( edit ) A range of malicious email types exist . These range from various types of email scams , including `` social engineering '' scams such as advance - fee scam `` Nigerian letters '' , to phishing , email bombardment and email worms . Email spoofing ( edit ) Main article : Email spoofing Email spoofing occurs when the email message header is designed to make the message appear to come from a known or trusted source . Email spam and phishing methods typically use spoofing to mislead the recipient about the true message origin . Email spoofing may be done as a prank , or as part of a criminal effort to defraud an individual or organization . An example of a potentially fraudulent email spoofing is if an individual creates an email which appears to be an invoice from a major company , and then sends it to one or more recipients . In some cases , these fraudulent emails incorporate the logo of the purported organization and even the email address may appear legitimate . Email bombing ( edit ) Main article : Email bomb Email bombing is the intentional sending of large volumes of messages to a target address . The overloading of the target email address can render it unusable and can even cause the mail server to crash . Privacy concerns ( edit ) Main article : Email privacy Today it can be important to distinguish between Internet and internal email systems . Internet email may travel and be stored on networks and computers without the sender 's or the recipient 's control . During the transit time it is possible that third parties read or even modify the content . Internal mail systems , in which the information never leaves the organizational network , may be more secure , although information technology personnel and others whose function may involve monitoring or managing may be accessing the email of other employees . Email privacy , without some security precautions , can be compromised because : email messages are generally not encrypted . email messages have to go through intermediate computers before reaching their destination , meaning it is relatively easy for others to intercept and read messages . many Internet Service Providers ( ISP ) store copies of email messages on their mail servers before they are delivered . The backups of these can remain for up to several months on their server , despite deletion from the mailbox . the `` Received : '' - fields and other information in the email can often identify the sender , preventing anonymous communication . web bugs invisibly embedded in email content can alert the sender of any email whenever an email is read , or re-read , and from which IP address . It can also reveal whether an email was read on a smartphone or a PC , or Apple Mac device via the user agent string . There are cryptography applications that can serve as a remedy to one or more of the above . For example , Virtual Private Networks or the Tor anonymity network can be used to encrypt traffic from the user machine to a safer network while GPG , PGP , SMEmail , or S / MIME can be used for end - to - end message encryption , and SMTP STARTTLS or SMTP over Transport Layer Security / Secure Sockets Layer can be used to encrypt communications for a single mail hop between the SMTP client and the SMTP server . Additionally , many mail user agents do not protect logins and passwords , making them easy to intercept by an attacker . Encrypted authentication schemes such as SASL prevent this . Finally , attached files share many of the same hazards as those found in peer - to - peer filesharing . Attached files may contain trojans or viruses . Flaming ( edit ) Flaming occurs when a person sends a message ( or many messages ) with angry or antagonistic content . The term is derived from the use of the word `` incendiary '' to describe particularly heated email discussions . The ease and impersonality of email communications mean that the social norms that encourage civility in person or via telephone do not exist and civility may be forgotten . Email bankruptcy ( edit ) Main article : Email bankruptcy Also known as `` email fatigue '' , email bankruptcy is when a user ignores a large number of email messages after falling behind in reading and answering them . The reason for falling behind is often due to information overload and a general sense there is so much information that it is not possible to read it all . As a solution , people occasionally send a `` boilerplate '' message explaining that their email inbox is full , and that they are in the process of clearing out all the messages . Harvard University law professor Lawrence Lessig is credited with coining this term , but he may only have popularized it . Internationalization ( edit ) Originally Internet email was completely ASCII text - based . MIME now allows body content text and some header content text in international character sets , but other headers and email addresses using UTF - 8 , while standardized have yet to be widely adopted . Further information : International email and Email address § Internationalization Tracking of sent mail ( edit ) The original SMTP mail service provides limited mechanisms for tracking a transmitted message , and none for verifying that it has been delivered or read . It requires that each mail server must either deliver it onward or return a failure notice ( bounce message ) , but both software bugs and system failures can cause messages to be lost . To remedy this , the IETF introduced Delivery Status Notifications ( delivery receipts ) and Message Disposition Notifications ( return receipts ) ; however , these are not universally deployed in production . ( A complete Message Tracking mechanism was also defined , but it never gained traction ; see RFCs 3885 through 3888 . ) Many ISPs now deliberately disable non-delivery reports ( NDRs ) and delivery receipts due to the activities of spammers : Delivery Reports can be used to verify whether an address exists and if so , this indicates to a spammer that it is available to be spammed . If the spammer uses a forged sender email address ( email spoofing ) , then the innocent email address that was used can be flooded with NDRs from the many invalid email addresses the spammer may have attempted to mail . These NDRs then constitute spam from the ISP to the innocent user . In the absence of standard methods , a range of system based around the use of web bugs have been developed . However , these are often seen as underhand or raising privacy concerns , and only work with email clients that support rendering of HTML . Many mail clients now default to not showing `` web content '' . Webmail providers can also disrupt web bugs by pre-caching images .

It was introduced in 2004 for the 2005 model year to replace the Grand Am . The car was built on the GM Epsilon platform which it shared with the Chevrolet Malibu and Saab 9 - 3 along with other General Motors vehicles . Features included a remote starting system ( standard on GT , optional on base model ) , traction control / ABS , electronic stability control , automatic headlights as well as a panoramic sunroof option . Production ended in 2010 with the discontinuation of the Pontiac line . Its name derives from being the successor to the Pontiac Grand Am , and serves as the `` sixth generation '' of the Grand Am , hence G6 . The name change from Grand Am to G6 was implemented to help reposition Pontiac as a rival to BMW , and served as a standard for most future models . For example , the Pontiac G8 was a class above the G6 , while the Pontiac G5 was a class below . Contents ( hide ) 1 Overview 2 Safety 3 2005 GXP concept 4 Marketing 5 Motorsports 6 Yearly United States sales 7 Recalls 8 References 9 External links Overview ( edit ) Pontiac G6 GTP sedan Pontiac G6 coupe Interior The Pontiac G6 was first introduced at the 2003 North American International Auto Show as a concept car . The concept used a 3.5 L supercharged V6 that made 285 horsepower and 272 lb ft of torque mated to a 4T65 - E electronically controlled automatic transmission . When the G6 was introduced in 2005 , it had two trim levels , base `` V6 '' and sportier `` GT '' . Both trims , however , used a 3.5 L pushrod V6 producing 200 horsepower ( 150 kW ) and 220 lb ft ( 300 N m ) of torque . Matched to a four - speed automatic transmission , the GT featured TAPshift , where the driver could select the gears manually . General Motors had only produced 2200 Street Edition models . The package came with heated seats , remote start , Monsoon sound system with eight speakers followed with a six - disc CD changer , moon roof , six speed tap shift and GXP badging with chrome grills . Base models were well equipped , featuring power locks , windows and mirrors with keyless entry , six - speaker CD stereo , power drivers seat , air conditioning and split folding rear seat . GTs added an eight - speaker Monsoon stereo , premium cloth seats with six - way adjustment , remote start , ABS and traction control . In 2006 , the G6 added two new trim levels and two new bodystyles , a coupe and a retractable hard top convertible . The new trim levels were a new base four - cylinder trim ( sometimes referred to as `` SE '' ) , and the high performance `` GTP '' . Coupes and convertibles were available in GT and GTP trims only . The new base model used a 169 - horsepower , 2.4 L DOHC inline - 4 , mated to a four - speed automatic transmission . The 3.5 L V6 was now part of a sport - package on the base / SE , and remained standard on the GT . The new GTP used a 3.9 L version of the GT 's 3.5 L V6 , but also utilizes variable valve timing ( VVT ) , increasing output to 240 horsepower . A four - speed automatic transmission was standard , but for no cost , a six - speed manual transmission was available . The GTP convertible was not available with the manual transmission and reduced its power to 227 hp , due to a more restrictive exhaust system . The GTP also featured standard electronic stability control . The 2007 G6 saw more engine changes , and standard side torso and side curtain airbags ( actually introduced late in the 2006 model year ) were new . The GT now featured VVT on its 3.5 L V6 , raising power from 200 hp to 224 hp . The 3.9 L V6 became an option on the GT , producing 227 horsepower in automatic transmission form and 240 horsepower in manual transmission form . The GTP was given a new 3.6 L DOHC V6 with 24 valves and VVT , producing 252 horsepower at 6300 RPM . It is mated to a six - speed automatic transmission . Midway through the model year the six - speed manual was dropped with the 3.9 L , along with its 240 - horsepower output . The GTP convertible was also discontinued . For 2008 , the GTP became the GXP with more dramatic styling cues , and the 3.9 L engine became an exclusive convertible option , with horsepower down to 222 . SAE ratings also dropped the horsepower ratings on the 2.4 L and 3.5 L models to 164 hp and 219 hp ( 217 hp on convertibles ) , respectively . For 2009 , 2.4 L four - cylinder engines were added to the coupe lineup . GM revised the G6 in the middle of 2009 , creating a `` 2009.5 '' model year . Changes consisted of a revised front and rear fascia as well as a revision of the dashboard , most notably adding an updated radio with Bluetooth capability . Coupes and convertibles ceased production at the end of the 2009 model year , making examples with the 2009.5 changes fairly rare . Subsequent to this model 's introduction , General Motors entered bankruptcy , and announced that the G6 sedan would be discontinued in 2010 . Most other Pontiac models had been discontinued , but the G6 was in high - demand for fleet vehicle orders , facilitating production to continue while the brand was wound down . GM began marketing the Buick brand in Mexico to replace Pontiac after the 2009 model year , GM replaced the Pontiac G6 competitively with the larger Buick LaCrosse , and later in the United States & Canada , the G6 & the Saturn Aura were ultimately replaced by GM 's revived Buick Regal nameplate . The convertible Pontiac G6 was later replaced by the Opel Cascada , marketed as a Buick in the U.S. in early 2016 . The last Pontiac ever manufactured , a 2010 G6 , was built in early 2010 when GM restarted the Orion Assembly Line to manufacture one final 2010 Pontiac G6 . Safety ( edit ) The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the Pontiac G6 an overall Good score in the frontal offset crash test but an Acceptable score in the side impact crash test even though side airbags were introduced late in the 2006 model year . The lower side impact score was due in part to a marginal rating for the structure / safety cage category . 2005 GXP concept ( edit ) The 2005 GXP concept was built by General Motors Performance Division . It includes a 3.6 L HO VVTI V6 engine rated at 275 hp , F40 six - speed manual transmission , performance intake , GM Performance cat - back exhaust with bright tips , and 19 - inch wheels with Bridgestone Potenza RE040 255 series tires . It was unveiled at the 2004 SEMA show , and was later sold on the eBay Motors website . The auction ended on May 3 , 2009 with winning bid price of US $ 16 500.00 . Marketing ( edit ) The launch of the G6 was a major publicity stunt : 276 of the cars were given away to audience members of The Oprah Winfrey Show on the talk show 's fall 2004 season premiere . This promotion , alongside a reported US $110 million publicity campaign , attempted to garner national attention for the brand - new G6 . On September 12 , 2014 , Autoblog did a follow up on the individuals who won the vehicle on the tenth anniversary of the telecast . The winners interviewed learned that although they did `` get a car '' from Winfrey during the broadcast , in actuality they had to go to the Pontiac dealership in their area to pick up the G6 because the vehicles that were shown outside the studio 's parking lot were used as a promotion . One couple had to sell their G6s because they learned of tax implications that came with owning the car , while another kept hers even though her two friends who came with her to the taping no longer have theirs ( one was sold , another was totaled in an accident ) and hopes to give the G6 to her daughter in time for college , saying `` I 'm hoping to drive it until we ca n't drive it any more . '' Motorsports ( edit ) Autohaus Motorsport 's GXP. R used in the Rolex Sports Car Series The G6 was used in the GT class of Rolex Sports Car Series as a replacement for the Pontiac GTO. R after the GTO went out of production . The cars are referred to as GXP.Rs and built by GM 's endorsed chassis constructor , Pratt & Miller . It is powered by LS2 V8 engine that produces approximately 450 horsepower ( 340 kW ) . Weight saving features include carbon fiber body panels , shatter - resistant polycarbonate windows . The custom tube - frame chassis is not at all based on the road car 's chassis and the 6 - speed gearbox delivers power to the rear wheels . The front and rear fenders flared to cover the wide , 18 - inch wheels and class - spec Hoosier racing tires . A rear wing reminiscent of sports option package on the race car is fitted at the back , underneath the proper racing rear wing . The G6 GXP also races in the NHRA Powerade Drag Racing Series Pro Stock class for Warren Johnson Racing . Yearly United States sales ( edit ) Calendar Year Total American sales 16,185 2005 124,844 2006 157,644 2007 150,001 2008 140,240 2009 87,171 479 Total 676,564 Recalls ( edit ) There have been four NHTSA formal recalls for the Pontiac G6 . The first recall ( NHTSA Campaign 06V417000 ) was for Pontiac G6 cars with aftermarket seat upgrades . To expedite sales at some dealerships , GM authorized seats to be replaced with leather seats as a dealer - installed option . This change could cause the passenger air bag sensor to not detect an occupant . GM took the rare step of buying back any cars that had this dealer installed option . The second recall ( NHTSA Campaign 09V036000 ) affected 8,012 MY 2005 - 2006 G6 vehicles , and corrected a potential corrosion that affected brake light wiring , and could cause brake lights to not illuminate . On September 21 , 2012 , General Motors recalled 473,841 vehicles involving the Chevy Malibu , Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura from model years 2007 through 2010 equipped with four - speed automatic transmissions . The problem is a condition that could make cars roll when in park . The recall affects 426,240 in the United States , 40,029 in Canada and 7,572 in other markets . This recall is an expansion of a much smaller 2011 recall on certain 2009 / 2009.5 MY vehicles which experienced the same condition . GM expanded the recall in 2012 after finding the problem was not isolated to that model year . In 2014 GM has recalled the vehicle regarding a condition in which the transmission shift cable may fracture . The fracture prevents the driver from selecting gears and may cause the vehicle to move in an unintended direction . `` previous -- Pontiac , a division of General Motors , automobile timeline , 1980s -- 2010 Type 1980s 1990s 2000s 0 5 6 7 8 9 0 5 6 7 8 9 0 5 6 7 8 9 0 Subcompact Matiz / G2 Matiz / Matiz G2 Sunbird T1000 1000 LeMans Acadian Sunburst Firefly Firefly Firefly Firefly Wave G3 Compact J2000 2000 Sunbird Sunbird Sunfire Pursuit / G4 / G5 Tempest Phoenix Grand Am Grand Am Grand Am G6 Mid-size LeMans Bonneville Grand Prix Grand Prix Grand Prix Grand Am 6000 Full - size Laurentian Catalina Parisienne Bonneville Bonneville Bonneville G8 Bonneville Station wagon Safari Mid-size crossover Aztek Torrent Compact SUV Sunrunner Compact MPV Vibe Vibe Minivan Trans Sport Trans Sport / Montana Montana SV6 Personal luxury Grand Prix Muscle car Firebird Firebird Firebird GTO Sports Fiero Solstice Red denotes models which are exclusive to Canada Green denotes models which are exclusive to Mexico References ( edit ) Jump up ^ Pontiac Grand Am # cite note - 1 Jump up ^ ( 1 ) Jump up ^ `` IIHS - HLDI : Pontiac G6 '' .
