( May 2011 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Tickle Me Elmo Type Toddler / kid toy Inventor Tyco Preschool Company Tyco Toys Country UK / US / Canada Availability 1996 - -- present Tickle Me Elmo is a children 's plush toy from Tyco Preschool , a division of Tyco Toys , of the Muppet character Elmo from the children 's television show , Sesame Street . When squeezed , Elmo shakes and vibrates . The toy was first produced in the United States in 1996 and slowly became a fad . The doll 's limited supply , due to the unexpected demand , led to a second generation market where scalpers would sell the plush toy for thousands of US dollars . Some instances of violence were reported over the limited supply amidst heavy consumer demand . People reported that the toy , which retailed for US $29.99 according to its MSRP , had been advertised in newspapers and on the Internet , with sellers asking up to $10,000 by the end of 1996 . Contents ( hide ) 1 Development 2 1996 Elmo craze 3 Further Tickle Me toys 3.1 TMX 3.2 eXtra Special Edition 3.3 LOL Elmo 4 See also 5 References 6 External links Development ( edit ) `` Tickles The Chimp '' , the precursor to Tickle Me Elmo , was invented by Ron Dubren and Greg Hyman in 1992 . In 1992 , it was presented to Tyco Preschool as `` Tickles The Chimp , '' which was a toy monkey with a computer chip which laughed when tickled . At the time Tyco did n't have rights to make Sesame Street plush , but did have Looney Tunes plush rights so it was worked on for several months as Tickle Me Tasmanian Devil . A short time later , Tyco lost rights to do Looney Tunes but gained the rights to Sesame Street , thus starting Tickle Me Elmo . The invention was originally introduced under Cabbage Patch at Hasbro Industries . Neil Friedman , who was then president of Tyco Preschool , recalled years later that , `` When you played with ( Tickle Me Elmo ) for the first time , it brought a smile to everyone 's face . It was a magical surprise . '' 1996 Elmo craze ( edit ) Tickle Me Elmo was released in July 1996 , with a supply of 400,000 units . The dolls sold well and remained widely available in stores until the day after Thanksgiving , when they suddenly sold out . With the Christmas shopping season approaching , Tyco Preschool ordered 600,000 more dolls from their suppliers . Promotion was helped by Rosie O'Donnell , who had shown the toy on her popular TV show in early October . O'Donnell's `` surprise plug '' created unexpected demand for Elmo , resulting in shortages in the stores that sold it . The scarcity of the new toy provoked a `` shopping frenzy '' . Two women were arrested in Chicago for fighting over the doll , while in New York some people ran after delivery trucks hoping to get their hands on Elmo before it reached stores . Someone allegedly purchased a Tickle Me Elmo for $7,100 in Denver . A clerk working at a Wal - Mart store in Fredericton , New Brunswick , Canada was among those injured by `` Elmo - mania '' . During a Midnight Madness sale on December 14 , a crowd of 300 stampeded down the aisle after spotting him being handed a box of the toys by another employee . Trampled , he suffered `` a pulled hamstring , injuries to his back , jaw and knee , a broken rib and a concussion '' . By the end of December , the entire stock of one million `` Tickle Me Elmo '' toys had been sold . Further Tickle Me toys ( edit ) In early 1997 , Tyco released new `` Tickle Me '' toys based on other characters from Sesame Street -- first Tickle Me Ernie and Tickle Me Big Bird , then Tickle Me Cookie Monster -- but despite good sales , none of these toys achieved as much fame as Tickle Me Elmo . With the re-release of Tickle Me Elmo , Mini Tickle Me Cookie Monster and Mini Tickle Me Ernie were also put on the market . The `` Surprise Edition '' of Tickle Me Elmo , issued fall 2001 , was an elaborate contest . Five of the `` Surprise Edition '' Elmos stopped laughing on January 9 , 2002 , and instead announced to the people squeezing them that they had won a prize . The grand prize was $200,000 . TMX ( edit ) In 2006 for the tenth anniversary of Tickle Me Elmo , Fisher - Price released a new Elmo doll called TMX , meaning `` Tickle Me ( Elmo ) Ten '' or `` Tickle Me eXtreme '' . The toy , which was designed by Bruce Lund of Lund and Co . Invention ( River Forest , Illinois ) , was first announced at the American International Toy Fair . Rather than simply vibrating like the original , the TMX rolls around on the floor , laughing and smashing his fist on the ground , begging for the tickler to stop . The full look of the doll was not revealed until it debuted live on ABC 's Good Morning America and arrived on store shelves on September 19 , 2006 . Toy experts said that the delay was unprecedented , with only a few people in the media allowed to preview the product , and only after signing confidentiality agreements . The packaging was designed so that the doll could not be seen without purchasing it . The box includes a preview flap , but upon opening , only the doll 's eyes are visible . It requires six AA batteries , and costs approximately $40 . In a promotional clip , Jim Silver , co-publisher of Toy Wishes magazine said , `` The first reaction I had was , ' Where are the wires ? ' Because I did n't think anything like that could move on its own . '' . Toy analyst Chris Byrne told USA Today , `` This is a quantum leap forward , another breakthrough in the preschool plush category . '' Byrne believed sales would be high , but the reaction would not be as unprecedented . `` The culture has moved beyond that , the whole hot - toy phenomenon . '' He cited the fact there has not been such a craze since Furby in 1998 . However , some members of the media expected a large response . Toys `` R '' Us stores and Amazon had a pre-sale program for the doll , the first included elaborate in - store displays with a digital countdown to the doll 's launch . Amazon took more presale orders than it could fulfill . As with the original Tickle Me Elmo doll , demand for the new toy gave rise to some extreme acts . One person in Tampa , Florida was allegedly threatened with a gun to hand over a TMX toy . This was parodied on Saturday Night Live , which said the man `` was subdued by the new ' Gimmie a Reason Bert ' '' . TMX and other toys helped Mattel 's earnings for the third quarter of the 2006 financial year to grow by six percent and beat the expectations of financial analysts . TMX also helped increase sales of other Elmo toys . In January 2007 , Mattel announced it would release TMX Friends , featuring Elmo , Ernie and Cookie Monster . Extra special Edition ( edit ) For the Christmas 2007 season , Fisher - Price released a version with hidden surprises . Mattel has provided a website with rhyming clues that can help find the special messages . LOL Elmo ( edit ) Playskool released the toy again as LOL Elmo . Not a single image of the toy was revealed until the American International Toy Fair 2012 ; in the Hasbro showroom 's Sesame Street section , there is a sign printed `` Laughter Unleashed ! Fall 2012 '' . Above it was a video of kids giggling . The toy was released in September . It is also known as Tickle Time Elmo .

Keep Calm and Carry On
Keep Calm and Carry On - Wikipedia Keep Calm and Carry On Jump to : navigation , search `` Keep Calm '' redirects here . For the novel , see Keep Calm ( novel ) . This article is about the poster . For the Stereophonics album , see Keep Calm and Carry On ( album ) . For the TV series episode , see Keep Calm and Carry On ( Supernatural ) . The original 1939 Keep Calm and Carry On poster Keep Calm and Carry On was a motivational poster produced by the British government in 1939 in preparation for World War II . The poster was intended to raise the morale of the British public , threatened with widely predicted mass air attacks on major cities . Although 2.45 million copies were printed , and although the Blitz did in fact take place , the poster was hardly ever publicly displayed and was little known until a copy was rediscovered in 2000 at Barter Books , a bookshop in Alnwick . It has since been re-issued by a number of private companies , and has been used as the decorative theme for a range of products . Evocative of Victorian stoicism -- the `` stiff upper lip '' , self - discipline , fortitude , and remaining calm in adversity , which popular culture rendered into a British character trait -- the poster has become recognised around the world . It was thought that only two original copies survived until a collection of approximately 15 was brought in to the Antiques Roadshow in 2012 by the daughter of an ex-Royal Observer Corps member . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 1.1 Design and production 1.2 Later developments 1.3 Rediscovery and commercialisation 1.4 Trademark claims 2 Imitations 3 See also 4 References 5 Further reading 6 External links History ( edit ) Design and production ( edit ) `` Freedom Is in Peril '' `` Your Courage '' The Keep Calm and Carry On poster was designed by the Ministry of Information during the period of 27 June to 6 July 1939 . It was produced as part of a series of three `` Home Publicity '' posters ( the others read `` Your Courage , Your Cheerfulness , Your Resolution Will Bring Us Victory '' and `` Freedom Is in Peril / Defend It With All Your Might '' ) . Each poster showed the slogan under a representation of a `` Tudor Crown '' ( a symbol of the state ) . They were intended to be distributed to strengthen morale in the event of a wartime disaster , such as mass bombing of major cities using high explosives and poison gas , which was widely expected within hours of an outbreak of war . A career civil servant named A.P. Waterfield came up with `` Your Courage '' as `` a rallying war - cry that will bring out the best in everyone of us and put us in an offensive mood at once '' . Others involved in the planning of the early posters included : John Hilton , Professor of Industrial Relations at Cambridge University , responsible overall as Director of Home Publicity ; William Surrey Dane , managing director at Odhams Press ; Gervas Huxley , former head of publicity for the Empire Marketing Board ; William Codling , controller of HMSO ; Harold Nicolson , MP ( often misspelled as `` Nicholson '' in paperwork ) ; W.G.V. Vaughan , who became Director of the General Production Division ( GPD ) ; H.V. Rhodes , who later wrote an occasional paper on setting up a new government department ; Ivison Macadam ; `` Mr Cruthley '' ; and `` Mr Francis '' . Ernest Wallcousins was the artist tasked with creating the poster designs . Detailed planning for the posters had started in April 1939 and the eventual designs were prepared after meetings between officials from the Ministry of Information and HM Treasury on 26 June 1939 and between officials from the Ministry of Information and HMSO on 27 June 1939 . Roughs of the poster were completed on 6 July 1939 , and the final designs were agreed by the Home Secretary Samuel Hoare , 1st Viscount Templewood on 4 August 1939 . Printing began on 23 August 1939 , the day that Nazi Germany and the USSR signed the Molotov -- Ribbentrop Pact , and the posters were ready to be placed up within 24 hours of the outbreak of war . Almost 2,500,000 copies of Keep Calm and Carry On were printed between 23 August 1939 and 3 September 1939 but the poster was not sanctioned for immediate public display . It was instead decided that copies of the poster should remain in `` cold storage '' for use after serious air raids ( with resources transferred to Your Courage and Freedom is in Peril ) . Copies of Keep Calm and Carry On were retained until April 1940 , but stocks were then pulped as part of the wider Paper Salvage campaign . An October 1940 edition of the Yorkshire Post records the poster being hung in a shop in Leeds . The remainder of the Ministry of Information publicity campaign was cancelled in October 1939 following criticism of its cost and impact . Many people claimed not to have seen the posters ; while those who did see them regarded them as patronising and divisive . Design historian Susannah Walker regards the campaign as `` a resounding failure '' and reflective of a misjudgement by upper - class civil servants of the mood of the people . The typeface is often assumed to be Gill Sans , which is very close though not exact ( see the terminals of the ' C ' , for example ) . The lettering was likely hand drawn by a now - unknown designer . Later developments ( edit ) In late May and early June 1941 , 14,000,000 copies of a leaflet entitled `` Beating the Invader '' were distributed with a message from Prime Minister Winston Churchill . The leaflet begins `` If invasion comes ... '' and exhorts the populace to `` Stand Firm '' and `` Carry On '' . The two phrases do not appear in one sentence , as they applied to different segments of the population depending on their circumstances , with those civilians finding themselves in areas of fighting ordered to stand firm ( i.e. , stay put ) and those not in areas of fighting ordered to carry on ( i.e. , continue vital war work ) . Each mandate is identified as a `` great order and duty '' should invasion come . The leaflet then lists 14 questions and answers on practical measures to be taken . Rediscovery and commercialisation ( edit ) Shop display of `` Keep Calm '' merchandise , including the original slogan and variants such as `` Keep Calm and Drink Tea '' . In 2000 , Stuart Manley , co-owner with his wife Mary of Barter Books Ltd. in Alnwick , Northumberland , was sorting through a box of used books bought at auction when he uncovered one of the original `` Keep Calm and Carry On '' posters . The couple framed it and hung it up by the cash register ; it attracted so much interest that Manley began to produce and sell copies . Other companies followed suit , and the design rapidly began to be used as the theme for a wide range of products . Mary Manley later commented , `` I did n't want it trivialised ; but of course now it 's been trivialised beyond belief . '' In early 2012 , Barter Books debuted an informational short film , The Story of Keep Calm and Carry On , providing visual insight into the modernisation and commercialisation of the design and the phrase . The poster has become an evocation of British stoicism : the `` stiff upper lip '' , self - discipline , fortitude and remaining calm in adversity . Susannah Walker comments that it is now seen `` not only as a distillation of a crucial moment in Britishness , but also as an inspiring message from the past to the present in a time of crisis '' . She goes on to point out , however , that such an interpretation overlooks the circumstances of its production , and the relative failure of the campaign of which it formed a part . Trademark claims ( edit ) This section needs to be updated . Please update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information . ( March 2015 ) In August 2011 , it was reported that a UK - based company called Keep Calm and Carry On Ltd had registered the slogan as a community trade mark in the EU , CTM No : 009455619 and also in the United States No : 4066622 . after failing to obtain registration of the slogan as a trademark in the United Kingdom . They issued a take - down request against a seller of Keep Calm and Carry On products . Questions have been raised as to whether the registration could be challenged , as the slogan had been widely used before registration and is not recognisable as indicating trade origin . An application has been submitted by British intellectual property advisor and UK trademarking service Trade Mark Direct , to cancel the registration on the grounds that the words are too widely used for one person to own the exclusive rights , but the request for cancellation was rejected and the trade mark is still protected in all EU countries . The company subsequently tried to register the slogan as its trademark in both the United States and Canada . Imitations ( edit ) A 2009 parody of the poster As the popularity of the poster in various media has grown , innumerable parodies , imitations and co-optations have also appeared , making it a notable meme . Messages range from the cute to the overtly political , typically with references to other aspects of popular culture ranging from the royal wedding of Kate Middleton and Prince William to the Super Mario video games . Examples have included `` Now Panic and Freak Out '' ( with an upside - down crown ) , `` Get Excited and Make Things '' ( with a crown incorporating spanners ) , `` Keep Calm and Have a Cupcake '' ( with a cupcake icon ) , `` Do n't Panic and Fake a British Accent '' , `` Keep Calm and Hate Apple '' ( with the Windows logo ) , `` Keep Calm and Hate Microsoft '' ( with the Apple logo ) , `` Keep Clam and Gary On '' ( a SpongeBob SquarePants - themed parody ) , `` Keep Calm and Call Batman '' ( with the Batman logo ) , `` Keep Calm and Switch to Linux '' ( with Tux ) and `` Keep Spending and Carry On Shopping '' . In March -- April 2012 , the British pop - rock band McFly undertook a theatre tour entitled `` The Keep Calm and Play Louder Tour '' , promoted with a poster closely based on that of 1939 . In late 2012 and early 2013 , the `` Save Lewisham Hospital '' campaign ( a protest against proposed cuts in services at University Hospital Lewisham ) made widespread use of a poster with the slogan `` Do n't Keep Calm Get Angry and Save Lewisham A&E '' . Shepherd Neame Brewery put the slogan `` Keep Calm and Celebrate '' on the bottles of their Spitfire ale , which was designed to commemorate the Battle of Britain . The historic railroad town of Helper , Utah , uses the theme , `` Keep Calm and Visit Helper , '' as part of its arts renaissance promotion . Calgary ( Alberta , Canada ) Mayor Naheed Nenshi 's efforts to encourage and motivate his citizens in the wake of the 2013 Alberta floods have made his name the subject of parody `` Keep Calm and Nenshi On '' fundraising T - shirts .

who created the quote keep calm and carry on
[ "Keep Calm and Carry On was a motivational poster produced by the British government in 1939 in preparation for World War II. The poster was intended to raise the morale of the British public, threatened with widely predicted mass air attacks on major cities.[1][2] Although 2.45 million copies were printed, and although the Blitz did in fact take place, the poster was hardly ever publicly displayed and was little known until a copy was rediscovered in 2000 at Barter Books, a bookshop in Alnwick. It has since been re-issued by a number of private companies, and has been used as the decorative theme for a range of products.[3]" ]

Wet Hot American Summer
Wet Hot American Summer - wikipedia Wet Hot American Summer Jump to : navigation , search Wet Hot American Summer Theatrical release poster Directed by David Wain Produced by Howard Bernstein Written by David Wain Michael Showalter Starring Janeane Garofalo David Hyde Pierce Molly Shannon Paul Rudd Christopher Meloni Michael Showalter Music by Theodore Shapiro Craig Wedren Cinematography Ben Weinstein Edited by Meg Reticker Production company Eureka Pictures North Coast Group Distributed by USA Films Release date July 27 , 2001 ( 2001 - 07 - 27 ) ( New York City ) Running time 97 minutes Country United States Language English Budget $1.8 million Box office $295,206 ( United States ) Wet Hot American Summer is a 2001 American satirical comedy film directed by David Wain from a screenplay written by Wain and Michael Showalter . The film features an ensemble cast , including Janeane Garofalo , David Hyde Pierce , Molly Shannon , Paul Rudd , Christopher Meloni , Michael Showalter ( and various other members of MTV 's sketch comedy group The State ) , Elizabeth Banks , Ken Marino , Michael Ian Black , Bradley Cooper , Amy Poehler , Zak Orth , and A.D. Miles . The film takes place during the last full day at a fictional summer camp in 1981 , and spoofs the sex comedies aimed at teen audiences of that era . The film was a critical and commercial failure , but has since developed a cult following , as many of its cast members have gone on to high - profile work . Netflix released an eight - episode prequel series starring most of the film 's original cast on July 31 , 2015 . An eight - episode sequel series , set ten years after the original film , was released on August 4 , 2017 .

Counselors have one last chance to have a romantic encounter with another person at Camp Firewood . The summer culminates in a talent show . Beth ( Janeane Garofalo ) , the camp director , struggles to keep her counselors in order -- and her campers alive -- while falling in love with Henry ( David Hyde Pierce ) , an astrophysics associate professor at Colby College . Henry has to devise a plan to save the camp from a piece of NASA 's Skylab , which is falling to Earth . Coop ( Michael Showalter ) has a crush on Katie ( Marguerite Moreau ) , his fellow counselor , but has to pry her away from her rebellious , obnoxious , and obviously unfaithful boyfriend , Andy ( Paul Rudd ) . Only Gene ( Christopher Meloni ) , the shell - shocked Vietnam war veteran and camp chef , can help Coop win Katie -- with some help from a talking can of mixed vegetables ( voiced by H. Jon Benjamin ) . All the while , Gary ( A.D. Miles ) , Gene 's unfortunately chosen apprentice , and J.J. ( Zak Orth ) attempt to figure out why McKinley ( Michael Ian Black ) has n't been with a woman , the reason being that McKinley is in love with Ben ( Bradley Cooper ) , whom he marries in a ceremony in the lake ; Victor ( Ken Marino ) attempts to lose his virginity with the resident loose - girl Abby ( Marisa Ryan ) ; and Susie ( Amy Poehler ) and Ben attempt to produce and choreograph the greatest talent show Camp Firewood has ever seen . Cast ( edit ) Janeane Garofalo as Beth David Hyde Pierce as Professor Henry Newman Molly Shannon as Gail von Kleinenstein Paul Rudd as Andy Christopher Meloni as Gene Michael Showalter as Gerald `` Coop '' Cooperberg / Alan Shemper Marguerite Moreau as Katie Finnerty Ken Marino as Victor Pulak Michael Ian Black as McKinley Zak Orth as J.J. A.D. Miles as Gary Amy Poehler as Susie Bradley Cooper as Ben Marisa Ryan as Abby Bernstein Kevin Sussman as Steve Elizabeth Banks as Lindsay Joe Lo Truglio as Neil Gideon Jacobs as Aaron Judah Friedlander as Ron Von Kleinenstein H. Jon Benjamin as a Can of Mixed Vegetables Production ( edit ) Background ( edit ) The film is based on the experiences Wain had while attending Camp Modin , a Jewish camp , located in Belgrade , Maine , and Showalter had at Camp Mohawk in the Berkshires in Cheshire , Massachusetts . During one scene , the counselors take a trip into Waterville , Maine , which is not far from the camp . It is also a parody of , and homage to , other films about summer camp such as Meatballs ( 1979 ) , Sleepaway Camp ( 1983 ) , and Indian Summer ( 1993 ) . According to Wain , they wanted to make a film structured like films such as Nashville , Dazed and Confused and Do the Right Thing -- `` films that take place in one contained time period that have lots of different characters . '' Development ( edit ) The film 's financing took three years to assemble ; in a June 2011 interview , Wain revealed the film 's budget was $1.8 million ; he noted that during the 2001 Sundance Film Festival , the film had been promoted as costing $5 million , in an attempt to attract a better offer from a distributor . Because of the film 's relatively small budget , the cast was paid very little ; Paul Rudd has stated that he is uncertain that he received any compensation at all for the film . Filming ( edit ) Principal photography lasted 28 days , and , according to director David Wain , it rained on every day of shooting . Exterior shots were filmed when possible , sometimes under covers or umbrellas , but some scenes were moved indoors instead . In many interior scenes , rain seen outside turns into sun as soon as characters step outside . Due to the cold , the actors ' breath can be seen in some outdoor scenes . The film was shot at Camp Towanda in Honesdale , Pennsylvania . Music ( edit ) As the film is set in the early 1980s , the film 's soundtrack features songs from many popular bands of the era , most notably Jefferson Starship , Rick Springfield , Loverboy , and KISS . Songs in the film ( edit ) `` Jane '' by Jefferson Starship `` Juke Box Hero '' by Foreigner `` Backwards from Three '' by Craig Wedren and Theodore Shapiro `` Wet Hot American Summer '' by Craig Wedren `` Love is Alright Tonight '' by Rick Springfield `` Danny 's Song '' by Loggins & Messina `` Turn Me Loose '' by Loverboy `` Beth '' by Kiss `` Day By Day '' from Godspell `` Harden My Heart '' by Quarterflash `` Higher and Higher '' by Craig Wedren and Theodore Shapiro `` When It 's Over '' by Loverboy `` Wet Hot American Dream '' by Peter Salett `` Summer in America '' by Mr. Blue & Chubb Rock Release ( edit ) Wet Hot American Summer premiered at the 2001 Sundance Film Festival , where it was screened four times to sold - out crowds , though it failed to attract a distributor . Months later , USA Films offered the filmmakers $100,000 for the film , with virtually no participation for the filmmakers , an offer the film 's investors accepted . It premiered in New York City on July 27 , 2001 , then received a theatrical release limited to fewer than 30 cities . Reception ( edit ) Wet Hot American Summer received mostly negative reviews from critics . Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a rating of 32 % , based on 66 reviews , with the site 's critical consensus reading , `` As comedy , Wet Hot American Summer is a slapdash , fragmented affair that misses more often than hits . As parody , it fails because it attempts to satirize something ridiculous and self - parodying in itself . '' Metacritic gives the film a score of 42 out of 100 , based on 24 critics , indicating `` mixed or average reviews '' . Roger Ebert rated the film with one star out of four . His review took the form of a tongue - in - cheek parody of Allan Sherman 's `` Hello Muddah , Hello Fadduh '' . In contrast , Entertainment Weekly 's Owen Gleiberman awarded the film an `` A '' and named it as one of the ten best films of the year . Newsweek 's David Ansen also lauded it , calling it a `` gloriously silly romp '' that `` made me laugh harder than any other movie this summer . Make that this year . '' Numerous other critics have praised the film as a witty pop satire and it has gone on to achieve a cult following . Actress Kristen Bell stated on NPR on September 2 , 2012 , that this was her favorite film of all time , having watched it `` hundreds of times '' . NPR host Jesse Thorn said on the April 29 , 2014 , episode of Bullseye , `` When someone has an open enough heart to accept this silliness - and that 's what it 's about for me , an open heart - if someone 's heart is open to Wet Hot American Summer , they love it . And that 's when I know that me and them , we 've got an unbreakable bond . Together forever . Like camp counselors . '' Home media ( edit ) The film was released in both VHS and DVD formats on January 15 , 2002 . In 2011 , Wain tried to convince Universal Studios to do either a 10th anniversary home video re-release with extra features , or perhaps a Blu - ray release , but Universal rejected the idea . The film was released on Blu - ray on May 12 , 2015 . Follow - ups ( edit ) See also : Wet Hot American Summer : First Day of Camp and Wet Hot American Summer : Ten Years Later The film is followed by two Netflix series with one serving as a prequel and one as a sequel . The prequel , First Day of Camp , was released on July 31 , 2015 , while the sequel , Ten Years Later , was released on August 4 , 2017 . Legacy ( edit ) Anniversary celebrations ( edit ) Events were held around the country to celebrate the film 's 10 - year anniversary in 2011 and 2012 , including a screening of the film in Boston , an art show in Santa Monica of works inspired by the film with a reception hosted by Wain , a screening at the Los Angeles Film School with a Q&A with Wain , a midnight screening in Cleveland , Ohio , a 10th anniversary celebration event with the members of Stella in Brooklyn , and a reading of the script at the San Francisco Comedy Festival with much of the original cast . Undeveloped TV series ( edit ) During an interview with Variety , Wain and Showalter confirmed that they wrote a pilot to Fox for a possible TV series based on the film . Wain described the series as a `` 22 - minute Fox sitcom with commercials and nothing Rated R , so it was a little bit odd . '' The pilot was not picked up for a series . Documentary ( edit ) Alongside the prequel series , a making - of documentary , Hurricane of Fun : The Making of Wet Hot , was released on Netflix on July 24 , 2015 , consisting of behind - the - scenes interviews and footage shot during the filming of the movie .

For the flag that flew over Fort McHenry , see Star - Spangled Banner ( flag ) . For the present flag , see Flag of the United States . For the national anthem of the Union of South Africa , see Die Stem van Suid - Afrika . `` The Star - Spangled Banner '' The earliest surviving sheet music of `` The Star - Spangled Banner '' , from 1814 . National anthem of the United States Lyrics Francis Scott Key , 1814 Music John Stafford Smith , c. 1773 Adopted March 3 , 1931 ; 87 years ago ( 1931 - 03 - 03 ) Audio sample `` The Star - Spangled Banner '' ( instrumental ) file help `` The Star - Spangled Banner '' is the national anthem of the United States . The lyrics come from Defence of Fort M'Henry , a poem written on September 14 , 1814 , by the then 35 - year - old lawyer and amateur poet Francis Scott Key after witnessing the bombardment of Fort McHenry by British ships of the Royal Navy in Baltimore Harbor during the Battle of Baltimore in the War of 1812 . Key was inspired by the large U.S. flag , with 15 stars and 15 stripes , known as the Star - Spangled Banner , flying triumphantly above the fort during the U.S. victory . The poem was set to the tune of a popular British song written by John Stafford Smith for the Anacreontic Society , a men 's social club in London . `` To Anacreon in Heaven '' ( or `` The Anacreontic Song '' ) , with various lyrics , was already popular in the United States . Set to Key 's poem and renamed `` The Star - Spangled Banner '' , it soon became a well - known U.S. patriotic song . With a range of 19 semitones , it is known for being very difficult to sing . Although the poem has four stanzas , only the first is commonly sung today . `` The Star - Spangled Banner '' was recognized for official use by the United States Navy in 1889 , and by U.S. President Woodrow Wilson in 1916 , and was made the national anthem by a congressional resolution on March 3 , 1931 ( 46 Stat. 1508 , codified at 36 U.S.C. § 301 ) , which was signed by President Herbert Hoover . Before 1931 , other songs served as the hymns of U.S. officialdom . `` Hail , Columbia '' served this purpose at official functions for most of the 19th century . `` My Country , ' Tis of Thee '' , whose melody is identical to `` God Save the Queen '' , the United Kingdom 's national anthem , also served as a de facto national anthem . Following the War of 1812 and subsequent U.S. wars , other songs emerged to compete for popularity at public events , among them `` America the Beautiful '' .

It is now on display at the Maryland Historical Society . On September 3 , 1814 , following the Burning of Washington and the Raid on Alexandria , Francis Scott Key and John Stuart Skinner set sail from Baltimore aboard the ship HMS Minden , flying a flag of truce on a mission approved by President James Madison . Their objective was to secure an exchange of prisoners , one of whom was Dr. William Beanes , the elderly and popular town physician of Upper Marlboro and a friend of Key 's who had been captured in his home . Beanes was accused of aiding the arrest of British soldiers . Key and Skinner boarded the British flagship HMS Tonnant on September 7 and spoke with Major General Robert Ross and Vice Admiral Alexander Cochrane over dinner while the two officers discussed war plans . At first , Ross and Cochrane refused to release Beanes but relented after Key and Skinner showed them letters written by wounded British prisoners praising Beanes and other Americans for their kind treatment . Because Key and Skinner had heard details of the plans for the attack on Baltimore , they were held captive until after the battle , first aboard HMS Surprise and later back on HMS Minden . After the bombardment , certain British gunboats attempted to slip past the fort and effect a landing in a cove to the west of it , but they were turned away by fire from nearby Fort Covington , the city 's last line of defense . An artist 's rendering of the battle at Fort McHenry During the rainy night , Key had witnessed the bombardment and observed that the fort 's smaller `` storm flag '' continued to fly , but once the shell and Congreve rocket barrage had stopped , he would not know how the battle had turned out until dawn . On the morning of September 14 , the storm flag had been lowered and the larger flag had been raised . During the bombardment , HMS Terror and HMS Meteor provided some of the `` bombs bursting in air '' . The 15 - star , 15 - stripe `` Star - Spangled Banner '' that inspired the poem Key was inspired by the U.S. victory and the sight of the large U.S. flag flying triumphantly above the fort . This flag , with fifteen stars and fifteen stripes , had been made by Mary Young Pickersgill together with other workers in her home on Baltimore 's Pratt Street . The flag later came to be known as the Star - Spangled Banner and is today on display in the National Museum of American History , a treasure of the Smithsonian Institution . It was restored in 1914 by Amelia Fowler , and again in 1998 as part of an ongoing conservation program . Aboard the ship the next day , Key wrote a poem on the back of a letter he had kept in his pocket . At twilight on September 16 , he and Skinner were released in Baltimore . He completed the poem at the Indian Queen Hotel , where he was staying , and titled it `` Defence of Fort M'Henry '' . It was first published nationally in The Analectic Magazine . Much of the idea of the poem , including the flag imagery and some of the wording , is derived from an earlier song by Key , also set to the tune of `` The Anacreontic Song '' . The song , known as `` When the Warrior Returns '' , was written in honor of Stephen Decatur and Charles Stewart on their return from the First Barbary War . Absent elaboration by Francis Scott Key prior to his death in 1843 , some have speculated in modern times about the meaning of phrases or verses . According to British historian Robin Blackburn , the words `` the hireling and slave '' allude to the thousands of ex-slaves in the British ranks organised as the Corps of Colonial Marines , who had been liberated by the British and demanded to be placed in the battle line `` where they might expect to meet their former masters . '' Nevertheless , Professor Mark Clague , a professor of musicology at the University of Michigan , argues that the `` middle two verses of Key 's lyric vilify the British enemy in the War of 1812 '' and `` in no way glorifies or celebrates slavery . '' Clague writes that `` For Key ... the British mercenaries were scoundrels and the Colonial Marines were traitors who threatened to spark a national insurrection . '' This harshly anti-British nature of Verse 3 led to its omission in sheet music in World War I , when the British and the U.S. were allies . Responding to the assertion of writer Jon Schwarz of The Intercept that the song is a `` celebration of slavery , '' Clague said that : `` The reference to slaves is about the use and in some sense the manipulation , of black Americans to fight for the British , with the promise of freedom . The American forces included African - Americans as well as whites . The term ' freemen , ' whose heroism is celebrated in the fourth stanza , would have encompassed both . '' Others suggest that `` Key may have intended the phrase as a reference to the British Navy 's practice of impressment ( kidnapping sailors and forcing them to fight in defense of the crown ) , or as a semi-metaphorical slap at the British invading force as a whole ( which included a large number of mercenaries ) . '' John Stafford Smith 's music Sheet music version Play ( help info ) The memorial to John Stafford Smith in Gloucester Cathedral , Gloucester , England Key gave the poem to his brother - in - law Judge Joseph H. Nicholson who saw that the words fit the popular melody `` The Anacreontic Song '' , by English composer John Stafford Smith . This was the official song of the Anacreontic Society , an 18th - century gentlemen 's club of amateur musicians in London . Nicholson took the poem to a printer in Baltimore , who anonymously made the first known broadside printing on September 17 ; of these , two known copies survive . On September 20 , both the Baltimore Patriot and The American printed the song , with the note `` Tune : Anacreon in Heaven '' . The song quickly became popular , with seventeen newspapers from Georgia to New Hampshire printing it . Soon after , Thomas Carr of the Carr Music Store in Baltimore published the words and music together under the title `` The Star Spangled Banner '' , although it was originally called `` Defence of Fort M'Henry '' . Thomas Carr 's arrangement introduced the raised fourth which became the standard deviation from `` The Anacreontic Song '' . The song 's popularity increased and its first public performance took place in October when Baltimore actor Ferdinand Durang sang it at Captain McCauley 's tavern . Washington Irving , then editor of the Analectic Magazine in Philadelphia , reprinted the song in November 1814 . By the early 20th century , there were various versions of the song in popular use . Seeking a singular , standard version , President Woodrow Wilson tasked the U.S. Bureau of Education with providing that official version . In response , the Bureau enlisted the help of five musicians to agree upon an arrangement . Those musicians were Walter Damrosch , Will Earhart , Arnold J. Gantvoort , Oscar Sonneck and John Philip Sousa . The standardized version that was voted upon by these five musicians premiered at Carnegie Hall on December 5 , 1917 , in a program that included Edward Elgar 's Carillon and Gabriel Pierné 's The Children 's Crusade . The concert was put on by the Oratorio Society of New York and conducted by Walter Damrosch . An official handwritten version of the final votes of these five men has been found and shows all five men 's votes tallied , measure by measure . National anthem Commemorative plaque in Washington , D.C. marking the site at 601 Pennsylvania Avenue where `` The Star - Spangled Banner '' was first publicly sung One of two surviving copies of the 1814 broadside printing of the `` Defence of Fort M'Henry '' , a poem that later became the lyrics of `` The Star - Spangled Banner '' , the national anthem of the United States . The song gained popularity throughout the 19th century and bands played it during public events , such as Independence Day celebrations . A plaque displayed at Fort Meade , South Dakota , claims that the idea of making `` The Star Spangled Banner '' the national anthem began on their parade ground in 1892 . Colonel Caleb Carlton , Post Commander , established the tradition that the song be played `` at retreat and at the close of parades and concerts . '' Carlton explained the custom to Governor Sheldon of South Dakota who `` promised me that he would try to have the custom established among the state militia . '' Carlton wrote that after a similar discussion , Secretary of War , Daniel E. Lamont issued an order that it `` be played at every Army post every evening at retreat . '' In 1899 , the U.S. Navy officially adopted `` The Star - Spangled Banner '' . In 1916 , President Woodrow Wilson ordered that `` The Star - Spangled Banner '' be played at military and other appropriate occasions . The playing of the song two years later during the seventh - inning stretch of Game One of the 1918 World Series , and thereafter during each game of the series is often cited as the first instance that the anthem was played at a baseball game , though evidence shows that the `` Star - Spangled Banner '' was performed as early as 1897 at opening day ceremonies in Philadelphia and then more regularly at the Polo Grounds in New York City beginning in 1898 . In any case , the tradition of performing the national anthem before every baseball game began in World War II . On April 10 , 1918 , John Charles Linthicum , U.S. Congressman from Maryland , introduced a bill to officially recognize `` The Star - Spangled Banner '' as the national anthem . The bill did not pass . On April 15 , 1929 , Linthicum introduced the bill again , his sixth time doing so . On November 3 , 1929 , Robert Ripley drew a panel in his syndicated cartoon , Ripley 's Believe it or Not ! , saying `` Believe It or Not , America has no national anthem '' . In 1930 , Veterans of Foreign Wars started a petition for the United States to officially recognize `` The Star - Spangled Banner '' as the national anthem . Five million people signed the petition . The petition was presented to the United States House Committee on the Judiciary on January 31 , 1930 . On the same day , Elsie Jorss - Reilley and Grace Evelyn Boudlin sang the song to the Committee to refute the perception that it was too high pitched for a typical person to sing . The Committee voted in favor of sending the bill to the House floor for a vote . The House of Representatives passed the bill later that year . The Senate passed the bill on March 3 , 1931 . President Herbert Hoover signed the bill on March 4 , 1931 , officially adopting `` The Star - Spangled Banner '' as the national anthem of the United States of America . As currently codified , the United States Code states that `` ( t ) he composition consisting of the words and music known as the Star - Spangled Banner is the national anthem .

Please improve the article by adding more descriptive text and removing less pertinent examples . See Wikipedia 's guide to writing better articles for further suggestions . ( November 2012 ) Crowd performing the U.S. national anthem before a baseball game at Coors Field The song is notoriously difficult for nonprofessionals to sing because of its wide range -- a 12th . Humorist Richard Armour referred to the song 's difficulty in his book It All Started With Columbus . In an attempt to take Baltimore , the British attacked Fort McHenry , which protected the harbor . Bombs were soon bursting in air , rockets were glaring , and all in all it was a moment of great historical interest . During the bombardment , a young lawyer named Francis Off Key ( sic ) wrote `` The Star - Spangled Banner '' , and when , by the dawn 's early light , the British heard it sung , they fled in terror . -- Richard Armour Professional and amateur singers have been known to forget the words , which is one reason the song is sometimes pre-recorded and lip - synced . Other times the issue is avoided by having the performer ( s ) play the anthem instrumentally instead of singing it . The pre-recording of the anthem has become standard practice at some ballparks , such as Boston 's Fenway Park , according to the SABR publication The Fenway Project . `` The Star - Spangled Banner '' has been performed regularly at the beginning of NFL games since the end of WWII by order of NFL commissioner Elmer Layden , according to History.com . According to same article , the song has been intermittently performed at baseball games since after WWI It has also been popular as performed by orchestra or soloists at other public gatherings . The National Hockey League and Major League Soccer both require venues in both the U.S. and Canada to perform both the Canadian and U.S. national anthems at games that involve teams from both countries ( with the `` away '' anthem being performed first ) . It is also usual for both U.S. and Canadian anthems ( done in the same way as the NHL and MLS ) to be played at Major League Baseball and National Basketball Association games involving the Toronto Blue Jays and the Toronto Raptors ( respectively ) , the only Canadian teams in those two major U.S. sports leagues , and in All Star Games on the MLB , NBA , and NHL . The Buffalo Sabres of the NHL , which play in a city on the Canada -- US border and have a substantial Canadian fan base , play both anthems before all home games regardless of where the visiting team is based . Two especially unusual performances of the song took place in the immediate aftermath of the United States September 11 attacks . On September 12 , 2001 , the Queen broke with tradition and allowed the Band of the Coldstream Guards to perform the anthem at Buckingham Palace , London , at the ceremonial Changing of the Guard , as a gesture of support for Britain 's ally . The following day at a St. Paul 's Cathedral memorial service , the Queen joined in the singing of the anthem , an unprecedented occurrence . 200th anniversary celebrations The 200th anniversary of the `` Star - Spangled Banner '' occurred in 2014 with various special events occurring throughout the United States . A particularly significant celebration occurred during the week of September 10 -- 16 in and around Baltimore , Maryland . Highlights included playing of a new arrangement of the anthem arranged by John Williams and participation of President Obama on Defender 's Day , September 12 , 2014 , at Fort McHenry . In addition , the anthem bicentennial included a youth music celebration including the presentation of the National Anthem Bicentennial Youth Challenge winning composition written by Noah Altshuler . Adaptations See also : The Star Spangled Banner ( Whitney Houston recording ) O'er the ramparts we watch in a 1945 United States Army Air Forces poster The first popular music performance of the anthem heard by the mainstream U.S. was by Puerto Rican singer and guitarist José Feliciano . He created a nationwide uproar when he strummed a slow , blues - style rendition of the song at Tiger Stadium in Detroit before game five of the 1968 World Series , between Detroit and St. Louis . This rendition started contemporary `` Star - Spangled Banner '' controversies . The response from many in the Vietnam War - era U.S. was generally negative . Despite the controversy , Feliciano 's performance opened the door for the countless interpretations of the `` Star - Spangled Banner '' heard in the years since . One week after Feliciano 's performance , the anthem was in the news again when U.S. athletes Tommie Smith and John Carlos lifted controversial raised fists at the 1968 Olympics while the `` Star - Spangled Banner '' played at a medal ceremony . Marvin Gaye gave a soul - influenced performance at the 1983 NBA All - Star Game and Whitney Houston gave a soulful rendition before Super Bowl XXV in 1991 , which was released as a single that charted at number 20 in 1991 and number 6 in 2001 ( along with José Feliciano , the only times the national anthem has been on the Billboard Hot 100 ) . In 1993 , Kiss did an instrumental rock version as the closing track on their album , Alive III . Another famous instrumental interpretation is Jimi Hendrix 's version , which was a set - list staple from autumn 1968 until his death in September 1970 , including a famous rendition at the Woodstock music festival in 1969 . Incorporating sonic effects to emphasize the `` rockets ' red glare '' , and `` bombs bursting in air '' , it became a late - 1960s emblem . Roseanne Barr gave a controversial performance of the anthem at a San Diego Padres baseball game at Jack Murphy Stadium on July 25 , 1990 . The comedian belted out a screechy rendition of the song , and afterward , she attempted a gesture of ballplayers by spitting and grabbing her crotch as if adjusting a protective cup . The performance offended some , including the sitting U.S. President , George H.W. Bush . Sufjan Stevens has frequently performed the `` Star - Spangled Banner '' in live sets , replacing the optimism in the end of the first verse with a new coda that alludes to the divisive state of the nation today . David Lee Roth both referenced parts of the anthem and played part of a hard rock rendition of the anthem on his song , `` Yankee Rose '' on his 1986 solo album , Eat ' Em and Smile . Steven Tyler also caused some controversy in 2001 ( at the Indianapolis 500 , to which he later issued a public apology ) and again in 2012 ( at the AFC Championship Game ) with a cappella renditions of the song with changed lyrics . In 2016 , Aretha Franklin performed a rendition before the nationally - televised Minnesota Vikings - Detroit Lions Thanksgiving Day game lasting more than four minutes and featuring a host of improvizations . It would be one of Franklin 's last public appearances before her 2018 death . Black Eyed Peas - singer Fergie gave a controversial performance of the anthem in 2018 . Critics likened her rendition to a jazzy `` sexed - up '' version of the anthem , which was considered highly inappropriate , with her performance compared to that of Marilyn Monroe 's iconic performance of Happy Birthday , Mr. President . Fergie later apologized for her performance of the song , citing that ' ' I 'm a risk taker artistically , but clearly this rendition did n't strike the intended tone `` . A version of Aerosmith 's Joe Perry and Brad Whitford playing part of the song can be heard at the end of their version of `` Train Kept A-Rollin ' '' on the Rockin ' the Joint album . The band Boston gave an instrumental rock rendition of the anthem on their Greatest Hits album . The band Crush 40 made a version of the song as opening track from the album Thrill of the Feel ( 2000 ) . In March 2005 , a government - sponsored program , the National Anthem Project , was launched after a Harris Interactive poll showed many adults knew neither the lyrics nor the history of the anthem . Lyrics O say can you see , by the dawn 's early light , What so proudly we hailed at the twilight 's last gleaming , Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight , O'er the ramparts we watched , were so gallantly streaming ? And the rockets ' red glare , the bombs bursting in air , Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there ; O say does that star - spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave ? On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep , Where the foe 's haughty host in dread silence reposes , What is that which the breeze , o'er the towering steep , As it fitfully blows , half conceals , half discloses ? Now it catches the gleam of the morning 's first beam , In full glory reflected now shines in the stream : ' Tis the star - spangled banner , O long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave . And where is that band who so vauntingly swore That the havoc of war and the battle 's confusion , A home and a country , should leave us no more ? Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps ' pollution . No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight , or the gloom of the grave : And the star - spangled banner in triumph doth wave , O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave . O thus be it ever , when freemen shall stand Between their loved homes and the war 's desolation . Blest with vict'ry and peace , may the Heav'n rescued land Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation ! Then conquer we must , when our cause it is just , And this be our motto : ' In God is our trust . ' And the star - spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave ! Cover of sheet music for `` The Star - Spangled Banner '' , transcribed for piano by Ch . Voss , Philadelphia : G. Andre & Co. , 1862 Additional Civil War period lyrics Eighteen years after Key 's death , and in indignation over the start of the American Civil War , Oliver Wendell Holmes , Sr. added a fifth stanza to the song in 1861 , which appeared in songbooks of the era . When our land is illumined with Liberty 's smile , If a foe from within strike a blow at her glory , Down , down with the traitor that dares to defile The flag of her stars and the page of her story ! By the millions unchained , who our birthright have gained , We will keep her bright blazon forever unstained ! And the Star - Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave While the land of the free is the home of the brave . Alternative lyrics In a version hand - written by Francis Scott Key in 1840 , the third line reads `` Whose bright stars and broad stripes , through the clouds of the fight '' . In honour of the 1986 rededication of the Statue of Liberty , Sandi Patty wrote her version of an additional verse to the anthem . References in film , television , Literature Several films have their titles taken from the song 's lyrics . These include two films titled Dawn 's Early Light ( 2000 and 2005 ) ; two made - for - TV features titled By Dawn 's Early Light ( 1990 and 2000 ) ; two films titled So Proudly We Hail ( 1943 and 1990 ) ; a feature film ( 1977 ) and a short ( 2005 ) titled Twilight 's Last Gleaming ; and four films titled Home of the Brave ( 1949 , 1986 , 2004 , and 2006 ) . A 1936 short titled The Song of a Nation from Warner Brothers shows a version of the origin of the song . Customs and federal law Plaque detailing how the custom of standing during the U.S. national anthem came about in Tacoma , Washington , on October 18 , 1893 , in the Bostwick building When the U.S. national anthem was first recognized by law in 1931 , there was no prescription as to behavior during its playing . On June 22 , 1942 , the law was revised indicating that those in uniform should salute during its playing , while others should simply stand at attention , men removing their hats . The same code also required that women should place their hands over their hearts when the flag is displayed during the playing of the national anthem , but not if the flag was not present . On December 23 , 1942 , the law was again revised instructing men and women to stand at attention and face in the direction of the music when it was played . That revision also directed men and women to place their hands over their hearts only if the flag was displayed . Those in uniform were required to salute . On July 7 , 1976 , the law was simplified . Men and women were instructed to stand with their hands over their hearts , men removing their hats , irrespective of whether or not the flag was displayed and those in uniform saluting . On August 12 , 1998 , the law was rewritten keeping the same instructions , but differentiating between `` those in uniform '' and `` members of the Armed Forces and veterans '' who were both instructed to salute during the playing whether or not the flag was displayed . Because of the changes in law over the years and confusion between instructions for the Pledge of Allegiance versus the National Anthem , throughout most of the 20th century many people simply stood at attention or with their hands folded in front of them during the playing of the Anthem , and when reciting the Pledge they would hold their hand ( or hat ) over their heart . After 9 / 11 , the custom of placing the hand over the heart during the playing of the national anthem became nearly universal . Since 1998 , federal law ( viz. , the United States Code 36 U.S.C. § 301 ) states that during a rendition of the national anthem , when the flag is displayed , all present including those in uniform should stand at attention ; Non-military service individuals should face the flag with the right hand over the heart ; Members of the Armed Forces and veterans who are present and not in uniform may render the military salute ; military service persons not in uniform should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold the headdress at the left shoulder , the hand being over the heart ; and Members of the Armed Forces and veterans who are in uniform should give the military salute at the first note of the anthem and maintain that position until the last note . The law further provides that when the flag is not displayed , all present should face toward the music and act in the same manner they would if the flag were displayed . Military law requires all vehicles on the installation to stop when the song is played and all individuals outside to stand at attention and face the direction of the music and either salute , in uniform , or place the right hand over the heart , if out of uniform . The law was amended in 2008 , and since allows military veterans to salute out of uniform , as well . The text of 36 U.S.C. § 301 is suggestive and not regulatory in nature . Failure to follow the suggestions is not a violation of the law . This behavioral requirement for the national anthem is subject to the same First Amendment controversies that surround the Pledge of Allegiance . For example , Jehovah 's Witnesses do not sing the national anthem , though they are taught that standing is an `` ethical decision '' that individual believers must make based on their `` conscience . '' Protests Main article : U.S. national anthem protests 1968 Olympics Black Power salute Main article : 1968 Olympics Black Power salute The 1968 Olympics Black Power salute was a political demonstration conducted by African - American athletes Tommie Smith and John Carlos during their medal ceremony at the 1968 Summer Olympics in the Olympic Stadium in Mexico City . After having won gold and bronze medals respectively in the 200 - meter running event , they turned on the podium to face their flags , and to hear the American national anthem , `` The Star - Spangled Banner '' . Each athlete raised a black - gloved fist , and kept them raised until the anthem had finished . In addition , Smith , Carlos , and Australian silver medalist Peter Norman all wore human rights badges on their jackets . In his autobiography , Silent Gesture , Smith stated that the gesture was not a `` Black Power '' salute , but a `` human rights salute '' . The event is regarded as one of the most overtly political statements in the history of the modern Olympic Games . 2016 protests Main article : U.S. national anthem protests ( 2016 -- present ) Politically motivated protests of the national anthem began in the National Football League ( NFL ) after San Francisco 49ers quarterback ( QB ) Colin Kaepernick sat during the anthem , as opposed to the tradition of standing , in response to police brutality in America , before his team 's third preseason game of 2016 . Kaepernick also sat during the first two preseason games , but he went unnoticed . NAACP call to remove the national anthem In November 2017 , the California Chapter of the NAACP called on Congress to remove `` The Star - Spangled Banner '' as the national anthem . Alice Huffman , California NAACP president said : `` it 's racist ; it does n't represent our community , it 's anti-black . '' The third stanza of the anthem , which is rarely sung and few know , contains the words , `` No refuge could save the hireling and slave , From the terror of flight , or the gloom of the grave : '' , which some interpret as racist . The organization was still seeking a representative to sponsor the legislation in Congress at the time of their announcement . Translations As a result of immigration to the United States and the incorporation of non-English speaking people into the country , the lyrics of the song have been translated into other languages . In 1861 , it was translated into German . The Library of Congress also has record of a Spanish - language version from 1919 . It has since been translated into Hebrew and Yiddish by Jewish immigrants , Latin American Spanish ( with one version popularized during immigration reform protests in 2006 ) , French by Acadians of Louisiana , Samoan , and Irish . The third verse of the anthem has also been translated into Latin . With regard to the indigenous languages of North America , there are versions in Navajo and Cherokee .

what is the name of our national anthem
[ "\"The Star-Spangled Banner\" is the national anthem of the United States. The lyrics come from Defence of Fort M'Henry,[2] a poem written on September 14, 1814, by the then 35-year-old lawyer and amateur poet Francis Scott Key after witnessing the bombardment of Fort McHenry by British ships of the Royal Navy in Baltimore Harbor during the Battle of Baltimore in the War of 1812. Key was inspired by the large U.S. flag, with 15 stars and 15 stripes, known as the Star-Spangled Banner, flying triumphantly above the fort during the U.S. victory.\n" ]

Kensington and Chelsea London Borough Council
Kensington and Chelsea London Borough council - wikipedia Kensington and Chelsea London Borough council Jump to : navigation , search Kensington and Chelsea London Borough Council Whole council elected every four years Coat of arms Type Type London borough council of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea Houses Unicameral Term limits None History Founded 1 April 1965 Preceded by Chelsea Borough Council Kensington Borough Council New session started 22 May 2013 ( Municipal year 2013 / 2014 ) Leadership Leader Elizabeth Campbell , Conservative Since 19 Jul 2017 Mayor Cllr Marie - Therese Rossi Since May 2017 Structure Seats 50 councillors Political groups Executive ( 40 ) Conservative ( 40 ) Opposition ( 10 ) Labour ( 7 ) Liberal Democrat ( 3 ) Elections Voting system Plurality - at - large Last election 22 May 2014 Next election 2018 Meeting place Town Hall , Hornton Street Website www.rbkc.gov.uk Kensington and Chelsea London Borough Council is the local authority for the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in Greater London , England . It is a London borough council , one of 32 in the United Kingdom capital of London . Kensington and Chelsea is divided into 18 wards , each electing three councillors . The council was created by the London Government Act 1963 and replaced two local authorities : Kensington Metropolitan Borough Council and Chelsea Metropolitan Borough Council . The borough council provides some shared services with Hammersmith and Fulham , and Westminster . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Summary results of elections 3 Grenfell Tower fire 4 References History ( edit ) There have previously been a number of local authorities responsible for the Kensington and Chelsea area . The current local authority was first elected in 1964 , a year before formally coming into its powers and prior to the creation of the London Borough of Kensington and Chelsea on 1 April 1965 . Kensington and Chelsea London Borough Council replaced Kensington Metropolitan Borough Council and Chelsea Metropolitan Borough Council . Both were created in 1900 and replaced the Vestry of the Parish of Kensington and the Vestry of the Parish of Chelsea . It was envisaged through the London Government Act 1963 that Kensington and Chelsea as a London local authority would share power with the Greater London Council . The split of powers and functions meant that the Greater London Council was responsible for `` wide area '' services such as fire , ambulance , flood prevention , and refuse disposal ; with the local authorities responsible for `` personal '' services such as social care , libraries , cemeteries and refuse collection . This arrangement lasted until 1986 when Kensington and Chelsea London Borough Council gained responsibility for some services that had been provided by the Greater London Council , such as waste disposal . Kensington and Chelsea became an education authority in 1990 . Since 2000 the Greater London Authority has taken some responsibility for highways and planning control from the council , but within the English local government system the council remains a `` most purpose '' authority in terms of the available range of powers and functions . Summary results of elections ( edit ) Main article : Kensington and Chelsea local elections The council has been controlled by the Conservative Party since it was first elected in 1964 . After new boundaries were set by the Boundary Commission , the Conservatives lost the Earl 's Court Ward By - election in September 2010 to the Liberal Democrats and narrowly won the Cremorne Ward By - election by only 19 votes . Many commentors blamed the Tory Councillors led by Merrick Cockell for these poor results , stating that the Council did not take adequately into account residents ' views on projects such as the proposed Thames Tideway Tunnel and the Earl 's Court building works . The Conservatives in the Cremorne Ward ran on the promise to Save Cremorne Gardens yet these gardens are still under threat . Grenfell Tower fire ( edit ) Main article : Grenfell Tower fire On 14 June 2017 a major fire destroyed the council - owned , 24 - storey Grenfell Tower providing public housing in a mainly working - class area north of White City , London ( sometimes called North Kensington ) , causing at least 79 deaths . The tower block was home to a diverse population of many nationalities , ethnicities and faiths , and was managed on behalf ( but independently ) of the council by Kensington and Chelsea Tenant Management Organisation ( KCTMO ) , the largest tenant management organisation ( TMO ) in England , which is responsible for the management of nearly 10,000 properties in the borough . On 18 June , the government relieved Kensington and Chelsea London Borough Council of responsibility for supporting the survivors , after a perceived inadequate response . Responsibility was handed over to a Grenfell fire - response team led by a group of chief executives from councils across London . Resources available to them included central government , the British Red Cross , the Metropolitan Police , the London Fire Brigade and local government across London . Neighbouring councils sent in staff to improve the rehousing response . On 21 June , the Council chief executive Nicholas Holgate resigned amid criticism over the borough 's response to the fire . The Prime Minister Theresa May commented that the council `` could n't cope '' in the response to the fire , and that it `` was right '' that the chief executive had resigned . The Conservative leader of the council , Nicholas Paget - Brown resisted calls to resign , but he announced on 30 June that he would step down and was replaced as leader by Conservative Elizabeth Campbell on 19 July 2017 .

Set in 1937 rural Mississippi during the Great Depression , the film 's story is a modern satire loosely based on Homer 's epic poem , Odyssey . The title of the film is a reference to the 1941 film Sullivan 's Travels , in which the protagonist ( a director ) wants to film O Brother , Where Art Thou ? , a fictional book about the Great Depression . Much of the music used in the film is period folk music , including that of Virginia bluegrass singer Ralph Stanley . The movie was one of the first to extensively use digital color correction , to give the film an autumnal , sepia - tinted look . The film received positive reviews , and the soundtrack , O Brother , Where Art Thou ? , using American folk music , won a Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 2001 . The original band soon became popular after the film release and the country and folk musicians who were dubbed into the film , such as John Hartford , Alison Krauss , Emmylou Harris , Gillian Welch , Chris Sharp , and others , joined together to perform the music from the film in a Down from the Mountain concert tour which was filmed for TV and DVD .

The three get a lift from a blind man driving a handcar on a railway . He tells them , among other prophecies , that they will find a fortune but not the one they seek . The trio make their way to the house of Wash , Pete 's cousin . They sleep in the barn , but Wash reports them to Sheriff Cooley , who , along with his men , torches the barn . Wash 's son helps them escape . They pick up Tommy Johnson , a young black man , who claims he sold his soul to the devil in exchange for the ability to play guitar . In need of money , the four stop at a radio broadcast tower where they record a song as The Soggy Bottom Boys . That night , the trio part ways with Tommy after their car is discovered by the police . Unbeknownst to them , the recording becomes a major hit . Near a river , the group hears singing . They see three women washing clothes and singing . The women drug them with corn whiskey and they lose consciousness . Upon waking , Delmar finds Pete 's clothes lying next to him , empty except for a toad . Delmar is convinced the women were Sirens and transformed Pete into the toad . Later , one - eyed Bible salesman Big Dan Teague invites them for a picnic lunch , then mugs them and kills the toad . Everett and Delmar arrive in Everett 's home town . Everett confronts his wife Penny , who changed her last name and told his daughters he was dead . He gets into a fight with Vernon T. Waldrip , her new `` suitor . '' They later see Pete working on a chain gang . Later that night , they sneak into Pete 's holding cell and free him . As it turns out , the women had dragged Pete away and turned him in to the authorities . Under torture , Pete gave away the treasure 's location to the police . Everett then confesses that there is no treasure . He made it up to convince the guys he was chained with to escape with him in order to stop his wife from getting married . Pete is enraged at Everett , because he had two weeks left on his original sentence , and must serve fifty more years for the escape . The trio stumble upon a Ku Klux Klan rally , who are planning to hang Tommy . The trio disguise themselves as Klansmen and attempt to rescue Tommy . However , Big Dan , a Klan member , reveals their identities . Chaos ensues , and the Grand Wizard reveals himself as Homer Stokes , a candidate in the upcoming gubernatorial election . The trio rush Tommy away and cut the supports of a large burning cross , leaving it to fall on Big Dan . Everett convinces Pete , Delmar and Tommy to help him win his wife back . They sneak into a Stokes campaign gala dinner she is attending , disguised as musicians . The group begins a performance of their radio hit . The crowd recognizes the song and goes wild . Homer recognizes them as the group who humiliated his mob . When he demands the group be arrested and reveals his white supremacist views , the crowd runs him out of town on a rail . Pappy O'Daniel , the incumbent candidate , seizes the opportunity , endorses the Soggy Bottom Boys and grants them full pardons . Penny agrees to marry Everett with the condition that he find her original ring . The next morning , the group sets out to retrieve the ring , which is at a cabin in the valley , which Everett earlier claimed was the location of his treasure . The police , having learned of the place from Pete , arrest the group . Dismissing their claims of receiving pardons , Sheriff Cooley orders them hanged . Just as Everett prays to God , the valley is flooded and they are saved . Tommy finds the ring in a desk that floats by , and they return to town . However , when Everett presents the ring to Penny , it turns out it was n't her ring , and she does n't even remember where she put it . Cast ( edit ) George Clooney as Ulysses Everett McGill , a man who is imprisoned for practicing law without a license . He claims to have escaped from prison so he can find a stash of money he had hidden , though in reality it is so he can get back to his family before his wife remarries . He corresponds to Odysseus ( Ulysses ) in the Odyssey . John Turturro , as Pete Hogwallop , a fellow criminal who reveals little about his past . He believes in being true to one 's kin , even when his cousin Washington B. Hogwallop betrays him . He dreams of moving out west and opening a fine restaurant , where he will be the maître d ' . He agreed to go along with the breakout , though he only had two weeks left on his sentence . Tim Blake Nelson as Delmar O'Donnell , a small - time crook imprisoned for robbing a Piggly Wiggly in Yazoo City ; he initially claims innocence but later admits he is guilty . Delmar says he will spend his share of Everett 's nonexistent money buying back his family farm , believing , `` You ai n't no kind of man if you ai n't got land . '' Chris Thomas King as Tommy Johnson , a skilled blues musician . He is the accompanying guitarist in the Soggy Bottom Boys . He claims he sold his soul to the devil in exchange for his skill on the guitar . He shares his name and story with Tommy Johnson , a blues musician with a mysterious past , who is said to have sold his soul to the devil at the Crossroads ( a story more often attributed to Robert Johnson ) . Frank Collison as Washington B. `` Wash '' Hogwallop , Pete 's paternal cousin . He removes the escapees ' chains but later betrays the men to the police . John Goodman as Daniel `` Big Dan '' Teague , a one - eyed man who masquerades as a Bible salesman and mugs Everett and Delmar . He later reveals the identity of the trio when they are disguised at a Ku Klux Klan rally , but they kill him by cutting loose a burning cross , which falls on him and the Klansmen . He corresponds to the cyclops Polyphemus in the Odyssey . Holly Hunter as Penny , Everett 's ex-wife , who is fed up with Everett 's wheeling and dealing . She divorces him while he is in prison , telling their children he was hit by a Louisville & Nashville train . She is engaged to Vernon T. Waldrip until Everett wins her back . She corresponds to Penelope in the Odyssey . ( Penelope is an icon of the faithful wife , as she rejected her many suitors , stalling for time while awaiting Odysseus ' return . ) Charles Durning as Menelaus `` Pappy '' O'Daniel , the incumbent Governor of Mississippi . He is frequently seen berating his son and his campaign managers , who are depicted as simpletons . The character is based on Texas governor W. Lee `` Pappy '' O'Daniel . ( Flensted - Jensen elaborates on the connection between the fictional and the real Pappy O'Daniel . ) He corresponds to Menelaus in the Odyssey . Daniel von Bargen as Sheriff Cooley , a ruthless rural sheriff who , with his bloodhound , pursues the trio for the duration of the film . It is implied several times that he is the devil incarnate , and Cooley fits Tommy Johnson 's description of Satan : Cooley 's sunglasses evoke Satan 's `` big empty eyes . '' He eventually ambushes the escapees after they have been pardoned by the governor . He intends to hang them nonetheless , but when the valley is flooded , he , his men , and his dog all drown . He corresponds to Poseidon in the Odyssey . He has been compared to Boss Godfrey in Cool Hand Luke . Wayne Duvall as Homer Stokes , the reform candidate in the upcoming election for Governor . He travels the countryside with a dwarf , who depicts the `` little man '' , and a broom , with which he promises to `` sweep this state clean '' . He is secretly an Imperial Wizard in the Ku Klux Klan . He falsely identifies Everett , Pete , and Delmar as people of color because they are dirty . Ray McKinnon as Vernon T. Waldrip , Penny 's bona fide suitor and the manager of Homer Stokes 's election campaign . It has been suggested that his name is a nod to novelist Howard Waldrop , whose novella A Dozen Tough Jobs is one of the inspirations for the film . He corresponds to the Suitors of Penelope in the Odyssey . Michael Badalucco as George Nelson , a bipolar bank robber who dislikes being called `` Baby Face '' . The real George Nelson died in 1934 , three years before the story is set . Nelson died in a shootout known as the Battle of Barrington rather than by electric chair , as suggested in the film . Stephen Root as Mr. Lund , the blind radio station manager who records Everett 's story in the song `` Man of Constant Sorrow '' and makes him known throughout the state . He corresponds to Homer . Lee Weaver as the Blind Seer , a mysterious railroad man who accurately predicts the outcome of the trio 's adventure as well as several other incidents . He corresponds to Tiresias in the Odyssey . Production ( edit ) The idea of O Brother , Where Art Thou ? arose spontaneously . Work on the script began long before the start of production in December 1997 and was at least half - written by May 1998 . Despite the fact that Ethan described the Odyssey as `` one of my favorite storyline schemes '' , neither of the brothers had read the epic and were only familiar with its content through adaptations and numerous references to the Odyssey in popular culture . According to the brothers , Nelson ( who has a degree in classics from Brown University ) was the only person on the set who had read the Odyssey . The title of the film is a reference to the 1941 Preston Sturges film Sullivan 's Travels , in which the protagonist ( a director ) wants to direct a film about the Great Depression called O Brother , Where Art Thou ? that will be a `` commentary on modern conditions , stark realism , and the problems that confront the average man '' . Lacking any experience in this area , the director sets out on a journey to experience the human suffering of the average man but is sabotaged by his anxious studio . The film has some similarity in tone to Sturges 's film , including scenes with prison gangs and a black church choir . The prisoners at the picture show scene is also a direct homage to a nearly identical scene in Sturges 's film . Joel Coen revealed in a 2000 interview that he came to Phoenix , Arizona , to offer the lead role to Clooney . Clooney agreed to do the role immediately , without reading the script . He stated that he liked even the Coens ' least successful films . Clooney did not immediately understand his character and sent the script to his uncle Jack who lived in Kentucky and asked him to read the entire script into a tape recorder . Unknown to Clooney , in his recording , Jack , a devout Baptist , omitted all instances of the words `` damn '' and `` hell '' from the Coens ' script , which only became known to Clooney after the directors pointed this out to him in the middle of shooting . This was the fourth film of the brothers in which John Turturro has starred . Other actors in O Brother , Where Art Thou ? who had worked previously with the Coens include John Goodman ( three films ) , Holly Hunter ( two ) , Michael Badalucco and Charles Durning ( one film each ) . The Coens used digital color correction to give the film a sepia - tinted look . Joel stated this was because the actual set was `` greener than Ireland . '' Cinematographer Roger Deakins stated , `` Ethan and Joel favored a dry , dusty Delta look with golden sunsets . They wanted it to look like an old hand - tinted picture , with the intensity of colors dictated by the scene and natural skin tones that were all shades of the rainbow . '' Initially the crew tried to perform the color correction using a physical process , however after several tries with various chemical processes proved unsatisfactory , it became necessary to perform the process digitally . This was the fifth film collaboration between the Coen Brothers and Deakins , and it was slated to be shot in Mississippi at a time of year when the foliage , grass , trees , and bushes would be a lush green . It was filmed near locations in Canton , Mississippi and Florence , South Carolina in the summer of 1999 . After shooting tests , including film bipack and bleach bypass techniques , Deakins suggested digital mastering be used . Deakins subsequently spent 11 weeks fine - tuning the look , mainly targeting the greens , making them a burnt yellow and desaturating the overall image in the digital files . This made it the first feature film to be entirely color corrected by digital means , narrowly beating Nick Park 's Chicken Run . O Brother , Where Art Thou ? was the first time a digital intermediate was used on the entirety of a first - run Hollywood film that otherwise had very few visual effects . The work was done in Los Angeles by Cinesite using a Spirit DataCine for scanning at 2K resolution , a Pandora MegaDef to adjust the color , and a Kodak Lightning II recorder to put out to film . A major theme of the film is the connection between old - time music and political campaigning in the Southern U.S. It makes reference to the traditions , institutions , and campaign practices of bossism and political reform that defined Southern politics in the first half of the 20th century . The Ku Klux Klan , at the time a political force of white populism , is depicted burning crosses and engaging in ceremonial dance . The character Menelaus `` Pappy '' O'Daniel , the governor of Mississippi and host of the radio show The Flour Hour , is similar in name and demeanor to W. Lee `` Pappy '' O'Daniel , one - time Governor of Texas and later U.S. Senator from that state . W. Lee O'Daniel was in the flour business , and used a backing band called the Light Crust Doughboys on his radio show . In one campaign , W. Lee O'Daniel carried a broom , an oft - used campaign device in the reform era , promising to sweep away patronage and corruption . His theme song had the hook , `` Please pass the biscuits , Pappy '' , emphasizing his connection with flour . While the film borrows from real - life politics , differences are obvious between the characters in the film and historical political figures . The O'Daniel of the movie used `` You Are My Sunshine '' as his theme song ( which was originally recorded by real - life Governor of Louisiana James Houston `` Jimmie '' Davis ) and Homer Stokes , as the challenger to the incumbent O'Daniel , portrays himself as the `` reform candidate '' , using a broom as a prop . Music ( edit ) See also : O Brother , Where Art Thou ? ( soundtrack ) and Down from the Mountain Music in the film was originally conceived as a major component of the film , not merely as a background or a support . Producer and musician T - Bone Burnett worked with the Coens while the script was still in its working phases , and the soundtrack was recorded before filming commenced . Much of the music used in the film is period - specific folk music , including that of Virginia bluegrass singer Ralph Stanley . The musical selection also includes religious music , including Primitive Baptist and traditional African American gospel , most notably the Fairfield Four , an a cappella quartet with a career extending back to 1921 who appear in the soundtrack and as gravediggers towards the film 's end . Selected songs in the film reflect the possible spectrum of musical styles typical of the old culture of the American South : gospel , delta blues , country , swing and bluegrass . The use of dirges and other macabre songs is a theme that often recurs in Appalachian music ( `` O Death '' , `` Lonesome Valley '' , `` Angel Band '' , `` I Am Weary '' ) in contrast to bright , cheerful songs ( `` Keep On the Sunny Side '' , `` In the Highways '' ) in other parts of the film . The voices of the Soggy Bottom Boys were provided by Dan Tyminski ( lead vocal on `` Man of Constant Sorrow '' ) , Nashville songwriter Harley Allen , and the Nashville Bluegrass Band 's Pat Enright . The three won a CMA Award for Single of the Year and a Grammy Award for Best Country Collaboration with Vocals , both for the song `` Man of Constant Sorrow '' . Tim Blake Nelson sang the lead vocal on `` In the Jailhouse Now '' . `` Man of Constant Sorrow '' has five variations : two are used in the film , one in the music video , and two in the soundtrack album . Two of the variations feature the verses being sung back - to - back , and the other three variations feature additional music between each verse . Though the song received little significant radio airplay , it reached # 35 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart in 2002 . The version of `` I 'll Fly Away '' heard in the film is performed not by Krauss and Welch ( as it is on the CD and concert tour ) , but by the Kossoy Sisters with Erik Darling accompanying on long - neck five - string banjo , recorded in 1956 for the album Bowling Green on Tradition Records . Release ( edit ) The film premiered at the AFI Film Festival on October 19 , 2000 . It grossed $71,868,327 worldwide off its $26 million budget . Critical reception ( edit ) Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gives it a score of 77 % based on 147 reviews and an average score of 7.1 / 10 . The consensus reads : `` Though not as good as Coen brothers ' classics such as Blood Simple , the delightfully loopy O Brother , Where Art Thou ? is still a lot of fun . '' The film holds an average score of 69 / 100 on Metacritic based on 30 reviews . Roger Ebert gave two and a half out of four stars to the film , saying all the scenes in the film were `` wonderful in their different ways , and yet I left the movie uncertain and unsatisfied '' . Accolades ( edit ) The film was selected into the main competition of the 2000 Cannes Film Festival . The film also received two Academy Award nominations at the 73rd Academy Awards : Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Cinematography . Cinematographer Roger Deakins was recognized with both Academy Award and ASC Outstanding Achievement Award nominations for his work on the film . For his portrayal of Ulysses Everett McGill , George Clooney received the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor -- Motion Picture Musical or Comedy . The film was also nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture -- Musical or Comedy . Soggy Bottom Boys ( edit ) The Soggy Bottom Boys , the musical group that the main characters form , serve as accompaniment for the film . The name is an homage to the Foggy Mountain Boys , a bluegrass band led by Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs . In the film , the songs credited to the band are lip - synched by the actors , except that Tim Blake Nelson does sing his own vocals on `` In the Jailhouse Now . '' The actual musicians are Dan Tyminski ( guitar and lead vocals ) , Harley Allen , and Pat Enright . The band 's hit single is Dick Burnett 's `` Man of Constant Sorrow , '' a song that had already enjoyed much success in real life . After the film 's release , the fictitious band became so popular that the country and folk musicians who were dubbed into the film , such as Ralph Stanley , John Hartford , Alison Krauss , Emmylou Harris , Gillian Welch , Chris Sharp , and others , all got together and performed the music from the film in a Down from the Mountain concert tour which was filmed for TV and DVD .

Easter Island is famous for its 887 extant monumental statues , called moai , created by the early Rapa Nui people . In 1995 , UNESCO named Easter Island a World Heritage Site , with much of the island protected within Rapa Nui National Park . Polynesian people most likely settled on Easter Island sometime between 700 and 1100 CE , and created a thriving and industrious culture as evidenced by the island 's numerous enormous stone moai and other artefacts . However , human activity , the introduction of the Polynesian rat and overpopulation led to gradual deforestation and extinction of natural resources which severely weakened the Rapa Nui civilization . By the time of European arrival in 1722 , the island 's population had dropped to 2,000 -- 3,000 from an estimated high of approximately 15,000 just a century earlier . European diseases and Peruvian slave raiding in the 1860s further reduced the Rapa Nui population , to a low of only 111 inhabitants in 1877 . Easter Island is one of the most remote inhabited islands in the world . The nearest inhabited land ( around 50 residents in 2013 ) is Pitcairn Island , 2,075 kilometres ( 1,289 mi ) away ; the nearest town with a population over 500 is Rikitea , on the island of Mangareva , 2,606 km ( 1,619 mi ) away ; the nearest continental point lies in central Chile , 3,512 kilometres ( 2,182 mi ) away . Easter Island is a special territory of Chile that was annexed in 1888 . Administratively , it belongs to the Valparaíso Region , and , more specifically , it is the only commune of the Province Isla de Pascua . According to the 2012 Chilean census , the island has about 5,800 residents , of whom some 60 percent are descendants of the aboriginal Rapa Nui . Easter Island is considered part of Insular Chile .

Roggeveen named it Paasch - Eyland ( 18th - century Dutch for `` Easter Island '' ) . The island 's official Spanish name , Isla de Pascua , also means `` Easter Island '' . The current Polynesian name of the island , Rapa Nui ( `` Big Rapa '' ) , was coined after the slave raids of the early 1860s , and refers to the island 's topographic resemblance to the island of Rapa in the Bass Islands of the Austral Islands group . However , Norwegian ethnographer Thor Heyerdahl argued that Rapa was the original name of Easter Island and that Rapa Iti was named by refugees from there . The phrase Te pito o te henua has been said to be the original name of the island since French ethnologist Alphonse Pinart gave it the romantic translation `` the Navel of the World '' in his Voyage à l'Île de Pâques , published in 1877 . William Churchill ( 1912 ) inquired about the phrase and was told that there were three te pito o te henua , these being the three capes ( land 's ends ) of the island . The phrase appears to have been used in the same sense as the designation of `` Land 's End '' at the tip of Cornwall . He was unable to elicit a Polynesian name for the island itself , and concluded that there may not have been one . According to Barthel ( 1974 ) , oral tradition has it that the island was first named Te pito o te kainga a Hau Maka , `` The little piece of land of Hau Maka '' . However , there are two words pronounced pito in Rapa Nui , one meaning ' end ' and one ' navel ' , and the phrase can thus also mean `` the Navel of the World '' . Another name , Mata ki te rangi , means `` Eyes looking to the sky '' . Islanders are referred to in Spanish as pascuense ; however it is common to refer to members of the indigenous community as Rapa Nui .

Rectifications in radiocarbon dating have changed almost all of the previously posited early settlement dates in Polynesia . Rapa Nui is now considered to have been settled in the narrower range of 700 to 1100 AD . Ongoing archaeological studies suggest a still - later date : `` Radiocarbon dates for the earliest stratigraphic layers at Anakena , Easter Island , and analysis of previous radiocarbon dates imply that the island was colonized late , about 1200 AD . Significant ecological impacts and major cultural investments in monumental architecture and statuary thus began soon after initial settlement . '' According to oral tradition , the first settlement was at Anakena . Researchers have noted that the Caleta Anakena landing point provides the island 's best shelter from prevailing swells as well as a sandy beach for canoe landings and launchings so it appeals as a likely early place of settlement . However , this conclusion contradicts radiocarbon dating , according to which other sites preceded Anakena by many years , especially the Tahai , whose radiocarbon dates precede Anakena 's by several centuries . The island was most likely populated by Polynesians who navigated in canoes or catamarans from the Gambier Islands ( Mangareva , 2,600 km ( 1,600 mi ) away ) or the Marquesas Islands , 3,200 km ( 2,000 mi ) away . According to some theories , such as the Polynesian Diaspora Theory , there is a possibility that early Polynesian settlers arrived from South America due to their remarkable sea - navigation abilities . Theorists have supported this through the agricultural evidence of the sweet potato . The sweet potato was a favoured crop found among Polynesian society for generations . However , the origins of the sweet potato trace back to South America , proving evidence of interaction at some point in time between these two geographic areas . When James Cook visited the island , one of his crew members , a Polynesian from Bora Bora , Hitihiti , was able to communicate with the Rapa Nui . The language most similar to Rapa Nui is Mangarevan , with an estimated 80 percent similarity in vocabulary . In 1999 , a voyage with reconstructed Polynesian boats was able to reach Easter Island from Mangareva in 19 days . A View of the Monuments of Easter Island , Rapanui , c. 1775 -- 1776 by William Hodges . The earliest known painting of Easter Island . According to oral traditions recorded by missionaries in the 1860s , the island originally had a strong class system , with an ariki , or high chief , wielding great power over nine other clans and their respective chiefs . The high chief was the eldest descendent through first - born lines of the island 's legendary founder , Hotu Matu'a . The most visible element in the culture was the production of massive statues called moai that some believe represented deified ancestors . According to National Geographic , `` Most scholars suspect that the moai were created to honor ancestors , chiefs , or other important personages , However , no written and little oral history exists on the island , so it 's impossible to be certain . '' It was believed that the living had a symbiotic relationship with the dead in which the dead provided everything that the living needed ( health , fertility of land and animals , fortune etc . ) and the living , through offerings , provided the dead with a better place in the spirit world . Most settlements were located on the coast and most moai were erected along the coastline , watching over their descendants in the settlements before them , with their backs toward the spirit world in the sea . Jared Diamond suggested that cannibalism took place on Easter Island after the construction of the moai contributed to environmental degradation when extreme deforestation destabilized an already precarious ecosystem . Archeological record shows that at the time of the initial settlement the island was home to many species of trees , including at least three species which grew up to 15 metres ( 49 ft ) or more : Paschalococos -- possibly the largest palm trees in the world at the time , Alphitonia zizyphoides , and Elaeocarpus rarotongensis , as well as at least six species of native land birds . A major factor that contributed to the extinction of multiple plant species was the introduction of the Polynesian rat . Studies by paleobotanists have shown rats can dramatically affect the reproduction of vegetation in an ecosystem . In the case of Rapa Nui , recovered plant shell seeds showed markings of being gnawed on by rats . Barbara A. West wrote , `` Sometime before the arrival of Europeans on Easter Island , the Rapanui experienced a tremendous upheaval in their social system brought about by a change in their island 's ecology ... By the time of European arrival in 1722 , the island 's population had dropped to 2,000 -- 3,000 from a high of approximately 15,000 just a century earlier . '' By that time , 21 species of trees and all species of land birds became extinct through some combination of overharvesting / overhunting , rat predation , and climate change . The island was largely deforested , and it did not have any trees more than 3 metres ( 10 feet ) tall . Loss of large trees meant that residents were no longer able to build seaworthy vessels , significantly diminishing their fishing abilities . One theory regarding the deforestation that caused such ecological and social damage was that the trees were used as rollers to move the statues to their place of erection from the quarry at Rano Raraku . Deforestation also affected agricultural production on Rapa Nui . At first , the native tropical forests provided ideal shade cover for soil . But with many of the native forest being destroyed , the topsoil became eroded causing a sharp decline in agricultural production . This was further exacerbated by the loss of land birds and the collapse in seabird populations as a potential source of food . By the 18th century , residents of the island were largely sustained by farming , with domestic chickens as the primary source of protein . As the island became overpopulated and resources diminished , warriors known as matatoa gained more power and the Ancestor Cult ended , making way for the Bird Man Cult . Beverly Haun wrote , `` The concept of mana ( power ) invested in hereditary leaders was recast into the person of the birdman , apparently beginning circa 1540 , and coinciding with the final vestiges of the moai period . '' This cult maintained that , although the ancestors still provided for their descendants , the medium through which the living could contact the dead was no longer statues , but human beings chosen through a competition . The god responsible for creating humans , Makemake , played an important role in this process . Katherine Routledge , who systematically collected the island 's traditions in her 1919 expedition , showed that the competitions for Bird Man ( Rapanui : tangata manu ) started around 1760 , after the arrival of the first Europeans , and ended in 1878 , with the construction of the first church by Roman Catholic missionaries who formally arrived in 1864 . Petroglyphs representing Bird Men on Easter Island are exactly the same as some in Hawaii , indicating that this concept was probably brought by the original settlers ; only the competition itself was unique to Easter Island . Motu Nui islet , part of the Birdman Cult ceremony According to Diamond and Heyerdahl 's version of the island 's history , the huri mo'ai -- `` statue - toppling '' -- continued into the 1830s as a part of fierce internal wars . By 1838 the only standing moai were on the slopes of Rano Raraku , in Hoa Hakananai'a in Orongo , and Ariki Paro in Ahu Te Pito Kura . A study headed by Douglas Owsley published in 1994 asserted that there is little archaeological evidence of pre-European societal collapse . Bone pathology and osteometric data from islanders of that period clearly suggest few fatalities can be attributed directly to violence . The first - recorded European contact with the island was on 5 April ( Easter Sunday ) , 1722 , when Dutch navigator Jacob Roggeveen visited the island for a week and estimated a population of 2,000 to 3,000 inhabitants . The number may have been greater , since some may have been frightened into hiding by a misunderstanding that led Roggeveen 's men to fire on the natives , killing more than a dozen and wounding several more . The next foreign visitors ( on 15 November 1770 ) were two Spanish ships , San Lorenzo and Santa Rosalia , under the command of Captain Don Felipe Gonzalez . The Spanish reported the island as largely uncultivated , whose seashore was lined with stone statues . Four years later , in 1774 , British explorer James Cook visited Easter Island ; he reported that some statues had been toppled . Through the interpretation of Hitihiti , Cook learned the statues commemorated their former high chiefs , including their names and ranks . The British ship HMS Blossom arrived in 1825 and reported seeing no standing statues . Easter Island was approached many times during the 19th century , but by then the islanders had become openly hostile to any attempt to land , and very little new information was reported before the 1860s . 19th century ( edit ) A series of devastating events killed or removed most of the population in the 1860s . In December 1862 , Peruvian slave raiders struck . Violent abductions continued for several months , eventually capturing around 1,500 men and women , half of the island 's population . Among those captured were the island 's paramount chief , his heir , and those who knew how to read and write the rongorongo script , the only Polynesian script to have been found to date . ( Although serious debate exists about whether this is proto - writing or true writing . ) When the slave raiders were forced to repatriate the people they had kidnapped , carriers of smallpox disembarked together with a few survivors on each of the islands . This created devastating epidemics from Easter Island to the Marquesas islands . Easter Island 's population was reduced to the point where some of the dead were not even buried . Tuberculosis , introduced by whalers in the mid-19th century , had already killed several islanders when the first Christian missionary , Eugène Eyraud , died from this disease in 1867 . About a quarter of the island 's population succumbed along with him . In the following years , the managers of the sheep ranch and the missionaries started buying the newly available lands of the deceased , and this led to great confrontations between natives and settlers . `` Queen Mother '' Koreto with her daughters `` Queen '' Caroline and Harriette in 1877 Jean - Baptiste Dutrou - Bornier bought up all of the island apart from the missionaries ' area around Hanga Roa and moved a few hundred Rapanui to Tahiti to work for his backers . In 1871 the missionaries , having fallen out with Dutrou - Bornier , evacuated all but 171 Rapanui to the Gambier islands . Those who remained were mostly older men . Six years later , only 111 people lived on Easter Island , and only 36 of them had any offspring . From that point on the island 's population slowly recovered . But with over 97 % of the population dead or gone in less than a decade , much of the island 's cultural knowledge had been lost . Alexander Salmon , Jr. , a son of an English Jewish merchant and a Pōmare Dynasty princess , eventually worked to repatriate workers from his inherited copra plantation . He eventually bought up all lands on the island with the exception of the mission , and was its sole employer . He worked to develop tourism on the island , and was the principal informant for the British and German archaeological expeditions for the island . He sent several pieces of genuine Rongorongo to his niece 's husband , the German consul in Valparaíso , Chile . Salmon sold the Brander Easter Island holdings to the Chilean government in 1888 January 2 and signed as a witness to the cession of the island . He returned to Tahiti in December of that year . He effectively ruled the island from 1878 until his cession to Chile in 1888 . Easter Island was annexed by Chile on 9 September 1888 by Policarpo Toro by means of the `` Treaty of Annexation of the Island '' ( Tratado de Anexión de la isla ) . Toro , then representing the government of Chile , signed with Atamu Tekena , designated `` King '' by the Roman Catholic missionaries after the paramount chief and his heir had died . The validity of this treaty is still contested by some Rapanui . Officially , Chile purchased the nearly all encompassing Mason - Brander sheep ranch , comprised from lands purchased from the descendants of Rapanui who died during the epidemics , and then claimed sovereignty over the island . 20th century ( edit ) Until the 1960s the surviving Rapanui were confined to Hanga Roa . The rest of the island was rented to the Williamson - Balfour Company as a sheep farm until 1953 . The island was then managed by the Chilean Navy until 1966 , at which point the island was reopened in its entirety . In 1966 the Rapanui were given Chilean citizenship . General Pinochet posing with a native Rapa Nui woman Following the 1973 Chilean coup d'état that brought Augusto Pinochet to power , Easter Island was placed under martial law . Tourism slowed down and private property was restored . During his time in power , Pinochet visited Easter Island on three occasions . The military built a number of new military facilities and a new city hall . After an agreement in 1985 between Chile and United States , the runway at Mataveri International Airport was enlarged and was inaugurated in 1987 . The runway was expanded 423 metres ( 1,388 ft ) reaching 3,353 metres ( 11,001 ft ) . Pinochet is reported to have refused to attend the inauguration in protest of pressures from the United States to attend human rights cases . 21st century ( edit ) Fishers of Rapa Nui have shown their concern of illegal fishing on the island . `` Since the year 2000 we started to lose tuna , which is the basis of the fishing on the island , so then we began to take the fish from the shore to feed our families , but in less than two years we depleted all of it , '' Pakarati said . On 30 July 2007 , a constitutional reform gave Easter Island and the Juan Fernández Islands ( also known as Robinson Crusoe Island ) the status of `` special territories '' of Chile . Pending the enactment of a special charter , the island continued to be governed as a province of the V Region of Valparaíso . A total solar eclipse visible from Easter Island occurred for the first time in over 1,300 years on 11 July 2010 , at 18 : 15 : 15 . Species of fish were collected in Easter Island for one month in different habitats including shallow lava pools , depths of 43 meters , and deep waters . Within these habitats , two holotypes and paratypes , Antennarius randalli and Antennarius moai , were discovered . These are considered frog - fish because of their characteristics : `` 12 dorsal rays , last two or three branched ; bony part of first dorsal spine slightly shorter than second dorsal spine ; body without bold zebra - like markings ; caudal peduncle short , but distinct ; last pelvic ray divided ; pectoral rays 11 or 12 '' . Indigenous rights movement ( edit ) Starting in August 2010 , members of the indigenous Hitorangi clan occupied the Hangaroa Eco Village and Spa . The occupiers allege that the hotel was bought from the Pinochet government , in violation of a Chilean agreement with the indigenous Rapa Nui , in the 1990s . The occupiers say their ancestors had been cheated into giving up the land . According to a BBC report , on 3 December 2010 , at least 25 people were injured when Chilean police using pellet guns attempted to evict from these buildings a group of Rapa Nui who had claimed that the land the buildings stood on had been illegally taken from their ancestors . In January 2011 , the UN 's Special Rapporteur on Indigenous People , James Anaya , expressed concern about the treatment of the indigenous Rapa Nui by the Chilean government , urging Chile to `` make every effort to conduct a dialogue in good faith with representatives of the Rapa Nui people to solve , as soon as possible the real underlying problems that explain the current situation '' . The incident ended in February 2011 , when up to 50 armed police broke into the hotel to remove the final five occupiers . They were arrested by the government and no injuries were reported . Geography ( edit ) Easter Island , Salas y Gómez Islands , South America and the islands in between Easter Island is one of the world 's most isolated inhabited islands . Its closest inhabited neighbour is Pitcairn Island , 2,075 km ( 1,289 mi ) to the west , with fewer than 100 inhabitants . The nearest continental point lies in central Chile near Concepción , at 3,512 kilometres ( 2,182 mi ) . Easter Island 's latitude is similar to that of Caldera , Chile , and it lies 3,510 km ( 2,180 mi ) west of continental Chile at its nearest point ( between Lota and Lebu in the Biobío Region ) . Isla Salas y Gómez , 415 km ( 258 mi ) to the east , is closer but is uninhabited . Archipelago Tristan da Cunha in the southern Atlantic competes for the title of the most remote island , lying 2,430 kilometres ( 1,510 mi ) from Saint Helena island and 2,816 kilometres ( 1,750 mi ) from the South African coast . The island is about 24.6 km ( 15.3 mi ) long by 12.3 km ( 7.6 mi ) at its widest point ; its overall shape is triangular . It has an area of 163.6 square kilometres ( 63.2 sq mi ) , and a maximum altitude of 507 metres ( 1,663 ft ) . There are three Rano ( freshwater crater lakes ) , at Rano Kau , Rano Raraku and Rano Aroi , near the summit of Terevaka , but no permanent streams or rivers . Geology ( edit ) Typical landscape on Easter Island ; rounded extinct volcanoes covered in low vegetation . Easter Island is a volcanic high island , consisting mainly of three extinct coalesced volcanoes : Terevaka ( altitude 507 metres ) forms the bulk of the island , while two other volcanoes , Poike and Rano Kau , form the eastern and southern headlands and give the island its roughly triangular shape . Lesser cones and other volcanic features include the crater Rano Raraku , the cinder cone Puna Pau and many volcanic caves including lava tubes . Poike used to be a separate island until volcanic material from Terevaka united it to the larger whole . The island is dominated by hawaiite and basalt flows which are rich in iron and show affinity with igneous rocks found in the Galápagos Islands . Easter Island and surrounding islets , such as Motu Nui and Motu Iti , form the summit of a large volcanic mountain rising over 2,000 metres ( 6,600 ft ) from the sea bed . The mountain is part of the Sala y Gómez Ridge , a ( mostly submarine ) mountain range with dozens of seamounts , formed by the Easter hotspot . The range begins with Pukao and next Moai , two seamounts to the west of Easter Island , and extends 2,700 km ( 1,700 mi ) east to the Nazca Ridge . The ridge was formed by the Nazca Plate moving over the Easter hotspot . Located about 350 km east of the East Pacific Rise , Easter Island lies within the Nazca Plate , bordering the Easter Microplate . The Nazca - Pacific relative plate movement due to the seafloor spreading , amounts to about 150 mm per year . This movement over the Easter hotspot has resulted in the Easter Seamount Chain , which merges into the Nazca Ridge further to the east . Easter Island and Sala y Gómez are surface representations of that chain . The chain has progressively younger ages to the west . The current hotspot location is speculated to be west of Easter Island , amidst the Ahu , Umu and Tupa submarine volcanic fields and the Pukao and Moai seamounts . Easter Island lies atop the Rano Kau Ridge , and consists of three shield volcanoes with parallel geologic histories . Poike and Rano Kau exist on the east and south slopes of Terevaka , respectively . Rano Kau developed between 0.78 and 0.46 Ma from tholeiitic to alkalic basalts . This volcano possesses a clearly defined summit caldera . Benmoreitic lavas extruded about the rim from 0.35 to 0.34 Ma . Finally , between 0.24 and 0.11 Ma , a 6.5 km fissure developed along a NE - SW trend , forming monogenetic vents and rhyolitic intrusions . These include the cryptodome islets of Motu Nui and Motu Iti , the islet of Motu Kao Kao , the sheet intrusion of Te Kari Kari , the perlitic obsidian Te Manavai dome and the Maunga Orito dome . Poike formed from tholeiitic to alkali basalts from 0.78 to 0.41 Ma . Its summit collapsed into a caldera which was subsequently filled by the Puakatiki lava cone pahoehoe flows at 0.36 Ma . Finally , the trachytic lava domes of Maunga Vai a Heva , Maunga Tea Tea , and Maunga Parehe formed along a NE - SW trending fissure . Terevaka formed around 0.77 Ma of tholeiitic to alkali basalts , followed by the collapse of its summit into a caldera . Then at about 0.3 Ma , cinder cones formed along a NNE - SSW trend on the western rim , while porphyritic benmoreitic lava filled the caldera , and pahoehoe flowed towards the northern coast , forming lava tubes , and to the southeast . Lava domes and a vent complex formed in the Maunga Puka area , while breccias formed along the vents on the western portion of Rano Aroi crater . This volcano 's southern and southeastern flanks are composed of younger flows consisting of basalt , alkali basalt , hawaiite , mugearite , and benmoreite from eruptive fissures starting at 0.24 Ma . The youngest lava flow , Roiho , is dated at 0.11 Ma . The Hanga O Teo embayment is interpreted to be a 200 m high landslide scarp . Rano Raraku and Maunga Toa Toa are isolated tuff cones of about 0.21 Ma . The crater of Rano Raraku contains a freshwater lake . The stratified tuff is composed of sideromelane , slightly altered to palagonite , and somewhat lithified . The tuff contains lithic fragments of older lava flows . The northwest sector of Rano Raraku contains reddish ash . According to Bandy , `` ... all of the great images of Easter Island are carved from '' the light and porous tuff from Rano Raraku . A carving was abandoned when a large , dense and hard lithic fragment was encountered . However , these lithics became the basis for stone hammers and chisels . The Puna Pau crater contains an extremely porous pumice , from which was carved the Pukao `` hats '' . The Maunga Orito obsidian was used to make the `` mataa '' spearheads . In the first half of the 20th century , steam reportedly came out of the Rano Kau crater wall . This was photographed by the island 's manager , Mr. Edmunds . Climate ( edit ) See also : Climate of Chile Under the Köppen climate classification , the climate of Easter Island is classified as a tropical rainforest climate ( Af ) that borders on a humid subtropical climate . The lowest temperatures are recorded in July and August ( minimum 15 ° C or 59 ° F ) and the highest in February ( maximum temperature 28 ° C or 82 ° F ) , the summer season in the southern hemisphere . Winters are relatively mild . The rainiest month is May , though the island experiences year - round rainfall . Easter Island 's isolated location exposes it to winds which help to keep the temperature fairly cool . Precipitation averages 1,118 millimetres or 44 inches per year . Occasionally , heavy rainfall and rainstorms strike the island . These occur mostly in the winter months ( June -- August ) . Since it is close to the South Pacific High and outside the range of the intertropical convergence zone , cyclones and hurricanes do not occur around Easter island . There is significant temperature moderation due to its isolated position in the middle of the ocean .

The original subtropical moist broadleaf forests are now gone , but paleobotanical studies of fossil pollen , tree moulds left by lava flows , and root casts found in local soils indicate that the island was formerly forested , with a range of trees , shrubs , ferns , and grasses . A large extinct palm , Paschalococos disperta , related to the Chilean wine palm ( Jubaea chilensis ) , was one of the dominant trees as attested by fossil evidence . Like its Chilean counterpart it probably took close to 100 years to reach adult height . The Polynesian rat , which the original settlers brought with them , played a very important role in the disappearance of the Rapanui palm . Although some may believe that rats played a major role in the degradation of the forest , less than 10 % of palm nuts show teeth marks from rats . The remains of palm stumps in different places indicate that humans caused the trees to fall because in large areas , the stumps were cut efficiently . The clearance of the palms to make the settlements led to their extinction almost 350 years ago . The toromiro tree ( Sophora toromiro ) was prehistorically present on Easter Island , but is now extinct in the wild . However the Royal Botanic Gardens , Kew and the Göteborg Botanical Garden are jointly leading a scientific program to reintroduce the toromiro to Easter Island . With the palm and the toromiro virtually gone , there was considerably less rainfall as a result of less condensation . After the island was used to feed thousands of sheep for almost a century , by the mid-1900s the island was mostly covered in grassland with nga'atu or bulrush ( Schoenoplectus californicus tatora ) in the crater lakes of Rano Raraku and Rano Kau . The presence of these reeds , which are called totora in the Andes , was used to support the argument of a South American origin of the statue builders , but pollen analysis of lake sediments shows these reeds have grown on the island for over 30,000 years . Before the arrival of humans , Easter Island had vast seabird colonies containing probably over 30 resident species , perhaps the world 's richest . Such colonies are no longer found on the main island . Fossil evidence indicates five species of landbirds ( two rails , two parrots and a heron ) , all of which have become extinct . Five introduced species of landbird are known to have breeding populations ( see List of birds of Easter Island ) . Lacks of studies resulting in poor understandings of oceanic fauna of Easter Island and waters in vicinity , however possibilities of undiscovered breeding grounds for humpback , southern blue and pygmy blue whales including Easter Island and Isla Salas y Gómez have been considered . Potential breeding area for fin whales have been detected off northeast of the island as well . Vegetation on the island View of Easter Island from space , 2001 . The Poike peninsula is on the right . Digital recreation of its ancient landscape , with tropical forest and palm trees View toward the interior of the island View of Rano Kau and Pacific Ocean The immunosuppressant drug sirolimus was first discovered in the bacterium Streptomyces hygroscopicus in a soil sample from Easter Island . The drug is also known as rapamycin , after Rapa Nui . It is now being studied for extending longevity in mice . Trees are sparse , rarely forming natural groves , and it has been argued whether native Easter Islanders deforested the island in the process of erecting their statues , and in providing sustenance for an overpopulated island . Experimental archaeology demonstrated that some statues certainly could have been placed on `` Y '' shaped wooden frames called miro manga erua and then pulled to their final destinations on ceremonial sites . Other theories involve the use of `` ladders '' ( parallel wooden rails ) over which the statues could have been dragged . Rapanui traditions metaphorically refer to spiritual power ( mana ) as the means by which the moai were `` walked '' from the quarry . Recent experimental recreations have proven that it is fully possible that the moai were literally walked from their quarries to their final positions by use of ropes , casting doubt on the role that their existence plays in the environmental collapse of the island . Given the island 's southern latitude , the climatic effects of the Little Ice Age ( about 1650 to 1850 ) may have exacerbated deforestation , although this remains speculative . Many researchers point to the climatic downtrend caused by the Little Ice Age as a contributing factor to resource stress and to the palm tree 's disappearance . Experts , however , do not agree on when exactly the island 's palms became extinct . Jared Diamond dismisses past climate change as a dominant cause of the island 's deforestation in his book Collapse which assesses the collapse of the ancient Easter Islanders . Influenced by Heyerdahl 's romantic interpretation of Easter 's history ( as he acknowledges in chapter 2 of Collapse ) , Diamond insists that the disappearance of the island 's trees seems to coincide with a decline of its civilization around the 17th and 18th centuries . He notes that they stopped making statues at that time and started destroying the ahu . But the link is weakened because the Bird Man cult continued to thrive and survived the great impact caused by the arrival of explorers , whalers , sandalwood traders , and slave raiders . Midden contents show that the main source of protein was tuna and dolphin . With the loss of the trees , there was a sudden drop in the quantities of fish bones found in middens as the islanders lost the means to construct fishing vessels , coinciding with a large increase in bird bones . This was followed by a decrease in the number of bird bones as birds lost their nesting sites or became extinct . A new style of art from this period shows people with exposed ribs and distended bellies , indicative of malnutrition , and it is around this time that many islanders moved to living in fortified caves and the first signs of warfare and cannibalism appear . Soil erosion because of lack of trees is apparent in some places . Sediment samples document that up to half of the native plants had become extinct and that the vegetation of the island drastically altered . Polynesians were primarily farmers , not fishermen , and their diet consisted mainly of cultivated staples such as taro root , sweet potato , yams , cassava , and bananas . With no trees to protect them , sea spray led to crop failures exacerbated by a sudden reduction in fresh water flows . There is evidence that the islanders took to planting crops in caves beneath collapsed ceilings and covered the soil with rocks to reduce evaporation . Cannibalism occurred on many Polynesian islands , sometimes in times of plenty as well as famine . Its presence on Easter Island ( based on human remains associated with cooking sites , especially in caves ) is supported by oral histories . Benny Peiser noted evidence of self - sufficiency when Europeans first arrived . The island still had smaller trees , mainly toromiro , which became extinct in the wild in the 20th century probably because of slow growth and changes in the island 's ecosystem . Cornelis Bouman , Jakob Roggeveen 's captain , stated in his logbook , `` ... of yams , bananas and small coconut palms we saw little and no other trees or crops . '' According to Carl Friedrich Behrens , Roggeveen 's officer , `` The natives presented palm branches as peace offerings . '' According to ethnographer Alfred Mètraux , the most common type of house was called `` hare paenga '' ( and is known today as `` boat house '' ) because the roof resembled an overturned boat . The foundations of the houses were made of buried basalt slabs with holes for wooden beams to connect with each other throughout the width of the house . These were then covered with a layer of totora reed , followed by a layer of woven sugarcane leaves , and lastly a layer of woven grass . There were reports by European visitors who said they had seen `` boles of large palm trees '' . Peiser claims that these reports indicate that large trees existed at that time , which is perhaps contradicted by the Bouman quote above . Plantations were often located farther inland , next to foothills , inside open - ceiling lava tubes , and in other places protected from the strong salt winds and salt spray affecting areas closer to the coast . It is possible many of the Europeans did not venture inland . The statue quarry , only one kilometre ( 0.62 miles ) from the coast with an impressive cliff 100 m ( 330 ft ) high , was not explored by Europeans until well into the 19th century . Panorama of Anakena beach , Easter Island . The moai pictured here was the first to be raised back into place on its ahu in 1955 by Thor Heyerdahl using the labor of islanders and wooden levers . Easter Island has suffered from heavy soil erosion in recent centuries , perhaps aggravated by agriculture and massive deforestation . This process seems to have been gradual and may have been aggravated by sheep farming throughout most of the 20th century . Jakob Roggeveen reported that Easter Island was exceptionally fertile . `` Fowls are the only animals they keep . They cultivate bananas , sugar cane , and above all sweet potatoes . '' In 1786 Jean - François de La Pérouse visited Easter Island and his gardener declared that `` three days ' work a year '' would be enough to support the population . Rollin , a major in the Pérouse expedition , wrote , `` Instead of meeting with men exhausted by famine ... I found , on the contrary , a considerable population , with more beauty and grace than I afterwards met in any other island ; and a soil , which , with very little labor , furnished excellent provisions , and in an abundance more than sufficient for the consumption of the inhabitants . '' According to Diamond , the oral traditions ( the veracity of which has been questioned by Routledge , Lavachery , Mètraux , Peiser and others ) of the current islanders seem obsessed with cannibalism , which he offers as evidence supporting a rapid collapse . For example , he states , to severely insult an enemy one would say , `` The flesh of your mother sticks between my teeth . '' This , Diamond asserts , means the food supply of the people ultimately ran out . Cannibalism , however , was widespread across Polynesian cultures . Human bones have not been found in earth ovens other than those behind the religious platforms , indicating that cannibalism in Easter Island was a ritualistic practice . Contemporary ethnographic research has proven there is scarcely any tangible evidence for widespread cannibalism anywhere and at any time on the Island . The first scientific exploration of Easter Island ( 1914 ) recorded that the indigenous population strongly rejected allegations that they or their ancestors had been cannibals . Culture ( edit ) Bird paintings in the cave called `` Cave of the Men Eaters '' Mythology ( edit ) Main article : Rapa Nui mythology The most important myths are : Tangata manu , the Birdman cult which was practised until the 1860s . Makemake , an important god . Aku - aku , the guardians of the sacred family caves . Moai - kava - kava a ghost man of the Hanau epe ( long - ears . ) Hekai ite umu pare haonga takapu Hanau epe kai noruego , the sacred chant to appease the aku - aku before entering a family cave . Stone work ( edit ) The Rapa Nui people had a Stone Age culture and made extensive use of local stone : Basalt , a hard , dense stone used for toki and at least one of the moai . Obsidian , a volcanic glass with sharp edges used for sharp - edged implements such as Mataa and for the black pupils of the eyes of the moai . Red scoria from Puna Pau , a very light red stone used for the pukao and a few moai . Tuff from Rano Raraku , a much more easily worked rock than basalt that was used for most of the moai . Statues ( edit ) Main article : Moai The large stone statues , or moai , for which Easter Island is famous , were carved in the period 1100 -- 1680 CE ( rectified radio - carbon dates ) . A total of 887 monolithic stone statues have been inventoried on the island and in museum collections . Although often identified as `` Easter Island heads '' , the statues have torsos , most of them ending at the top of the thighs , although a small number are complete figures that kneel on bent knees with their hands over their stomachs . Some upright moai have become buried up to their necks by shifting soils . Almost all ( 95 % ) moai were carved from compressed , easily worked solidified volcanic ash or tuff found at a single site on the side of the extinct volcano Rano Raraku . The native islanders who carved them used only stone hand chisels , mainly basalt toki , which lie in place all over the quarry . The stone chisels were sharpened by chipping off a new edge when dulled . While sculpting was going on , the volcanic stone was splashed with water to soften it . While many teams worked on different statues at the same time , a single moai took a team of five or six men approximately a year to complete . Each statue represented the deceased head of a lineage . Only a quarter of the statues were installed . Nearly half remained in the quarry at Rano Raraku , and the rest sat elsewhere , presumably on their way to intended locations . The largest moai raised on a platform is known as `` Paro '' . It weighs 82 tonnes ( 90.4 short tons ) , and is 9.89 m ( 32.4 ft ) long . Several other statues of similar weight were transported to ahu on the north and south coasts . Possible means by which the statues were moved include employment of a miro manga erua , a Y - shaped sledge with cross pieces , pulled with ropes made from the tough bark of the hau tree and tied around the statue 's neck . Anywhere from 180 to 250 men were required for pulling , depending on the size of the moai . Some 50 of the statues were re-erected in modern times . One of the first was on Ahu Ature Huke in Anakena beach in 1956 . It was raised using traditional methods during a Heyerdahl expedition . Another method that might have been used would be to attach ropes to the statue and rock it , tugging it forward as it rocked . This would fit the legend of the Mo'ai ' walking ' to their final locations . This might have been managed by as few as 15 people , supported by the following evidence : The heads of the moai in the quarry are sloped forward whereas the ones moved to final locations are not . This would serve to provide a better centre of gravity for transport . The statues found along the transport roads have wider bases than statues installed on ahu ; this would facilitate more stable transport . Studies have shown fractures along the bases of the statues in transport ; these could have arisen from rocking the statue back and forth and placing great pressures on the edges . The statues found mounted on ahu do not have wide bases and stone chips found at the sites suggest they were further modified on placement . The abandoned and fallen statues near the old roads are found ( more often than would be expected from chance ) face down on ascending grades and on their backs when headed uphill . Some were documented standing upright along the old roads , e.g. , by a party from Captain Cook 's voyage that rested in the shade of a standing statue . This would be consistent with upright transport . There is debate around the moai regarding the effects of the monument creation process on the environment . Some believe that the process of creating the moai caused widespread deforestation and ultimately a civil war over scarce resources . In 2011 , a large moai statue was excavated from the ground . During the same excavation program , some larger moai were found to have complex dorsal petroglyphs , revealed by deep excavation of the torso . Moais Tukuturi , an unusual bearded kneeling moai All fifteen standing moai at Ahu Tongariki , excavated and restored in the 1990s Ahu Akivi , one of the few inland ahu , with the only moai facing the ocean Stone platforms ( edit ) Two ahu at Hanga Roa . In foreground Ahu Ko Te Riku ( with a pukao on its head ) . In the mid-ground is a side view of an ahu with five moai showing retaining wall , platform , ramp and pavement . The Mataveri end of Hanga Roa is visible in the background with Rano Kau rising above it . Ahu are stone platforms . Varying greatly in layout , many were reworked during or after the huri mo'ai or statue - toppling era ; many became ossuaries ; one was dynamited open ; and Ahu Tongariki was swept inland by a tsunami . Of the 313 known ahu , 125 carried moai -- usually just one , probably because of the shortness of the moai period and transportation difficulties . Ahu Tongariki , one kilometre ( 0.62 miles ) from Rano Raraku , had the most and tallest moai , 15 in total . Other notable ahu with moai are Ahu Akivi , restored in 1960 by William Mulloy , Nau Nau at Anakena and Tahai . Some moai may have been made from wood and were lost . The classic elements of ahu design are : A retaining rear wall several feet high , usually facing the sea A front wall made of rectangular basalt slabs called paenga A fascia made of red scoria that went over the front wall ( platforms built after 1300 ) A sloping ramp in the inland part of the platform , extending outward like wings A pavement of even - sized , round water - worn stones called poro An alignment of stones before the ramp A paved plaza before the ahu . This was called marae Inside the ahu was a fill of rubble . On top of many ahu would have been : Moai on squareish `` pedestals '' looking inland , the ramp with the poro before them . Pukao or Hau Hiti Rau on the moai heads ( platforms built after 1300 ) . When a ceremony took place , `` eyes '' were placed on the statues . The whites of the eyes were made of coral , the iris was made of obsidian or red scoria . Ahu evolved from the traditional Polynesian marae . In this context ahu referred to a small structure sometimes covered with a thatched roof where sacred objects , including statues , were stored . The ahu were usually adjacent to the marae or main central court where ceremonies took place , though on Easter Island ahu and moai evolved to much greater size . There the marae is the unpaved plaza before the ahu . The biggest ahu is 220 metres ( 720 ft ) and holds 15 statues , some of which are 9 metres ( 30 ft ) high . The filling of an ahu was sourced locally ( apart from broken , old moai , fragments of which have been used in the fill ) . Individual stones are mostly far smaller than the moai , so less work was needed to transport the raw material , but artificially levelling the terrain for the plaza and filling the ahu was laborious . Ahu are found mostly on the coast , where they are distributed fairly evenly except on the western slopes of Mount Terevaka and the Rano Kau and Poike headlands . These are the three areas with the least low - lying coastal land , and apart from Poike the furthest areas from Rano Raraku . One ahu with several moai was recorded on the cliffs at Rano Kau in the 1880s but had fallen to the beach before the Routledge expedition . A Hare Moa , a Chicken House , image cut from a laser scan collected by nonprofit CyArk . Stone walls ( edit ) One of the highest - quality examples of Easter Island stone masonry is the rear wall of the ahu at Vinapu . Made without mortar by shaping hard basalt rocks of up to 7 tonnes to match each other exactly , it has a superficial similarity to some Inca stone walls in South America . Stone houses ( edit ) Two types of houses are known from the past : hare paenga , a house with an elliptical foundation , made with basalt slabs and covered with a thatched roof that resembled an overturned boat , and hare oka , a round stone structure . Related stone structures called Tupa look very similar to the hare oka , except that the Tupa were inhabited by astronomer - priests and located near the coast , where the movements of the stars could be easily observed . Settlements also contain hare moa ( `` chicken house '' ) , oblong stone structures that housed chickens . The houses at the ceremonial village of Orongo are unique in that they are shaped like hare paenga but are made entirely of flat basalt slabs found inside Rano Kao crater . The entrances to all the houses are very low , and entry requires crawling . In early times the people of Rapa Nui reportedly sent the dead out to sea in small funerary canoes , as did their Polynesian counterparts on other islands . They later started burying people in secret caves to save the bones from desecration by enemies . During the turmoil of the late 18th century , the islanders seem to have started to bury their dead in the space between the belly of a fallen moai and the front wall of the structure . During the time of the epidemics they made mass graves that were semi-pyramidal stone structures . Petroglyphs ( edit ) Petroglyphs are pictures carved into rock , and Easter Island has one of the richest collections in all Polynesia . Around 1,000 sites with more than 4,000 petroglyphs are catalogued . Designs and images were carved out of rock for a variety of reasons : to create totems , to mark territory , or to memorialize a person or event . There are distinct variations around the island in the frequency of themes among petroglyphs , with a concentration of Birdmen at Orongo . Other subjects include sea turtles , Komari ( vulvas ) and Makemake , the chief god of the Tangata manu or Birdman cult . Petroglyphs Makemake with two birdmen , carved from red scoria Fish petroglyph found near Ahu Tongariki Caves ( edit ) The island and neighbouring Motu Nui are riddled with caves , many of which show signs of past human use for planting and as fortifications , including narrowed entrances and crawl spaces with ambush points . Many caves feature in the myths and legends of the Rapa Nui . Sample of rongorongo Rongorongo ( edit ) Main article : Rongorongo Easter Island once had an apparent script called rongorongo . Glyphs include pictographic and geometric shapes ; the texts were incised in wood in reverse boustrophedon direction . It was first reported by a French missionary , Eugène Eyraud , in 1864 . At that time , several islanders said they could understand the writing , but according to tradition , only ruling families and priests were ever literate , and none survived the slave raids and subsequent epidemics . Despite numerous attempts , the surviving texts have not been deciphered , and without decipherment it is not certain that they are actually writing . Part of the problem is the small amount that has survived : only two dozen texts , none of which remain on the island . There are also only a couple of similarities with the petroglyphs on the island . Wood carving ( edit ) Skeletal statuette Atypical tubby statuette Wood was scarce on Easter Island during the 18th and 19th centuries , but a number of highly detailed and distinctive carvings have found their way to the world 's museums . Particular forms include : Ancestor figure , circa 1830 , from LACMA collections Reimiro , a gorget or breast ornament of crescent shape with a head at one or both tips . The same design appears on the flag of Rapa Nui . Two Rei Miru at the British Museum are inscribed with Rongorongo . Moko Miro , a man with a lizard head . The Moko Miro was used as a club because of the legs , which formed a handle shape . If it was n't held by hand , dancers wore it around their necks during feasts . The Moko Miro would also be placed at the doorway to protect the household from harm . It would be hanging from the roof or set in the ground . The original form had eyes made from white shells , and the pupils were made of obsidian . Moai kavakava are male carvings and the Moai Paepae are female carvings . These grotesque and highly detailed human figures carved from Toromiro pine , represent ancestors . Sometimes these statues were used for fertility rites . Usually , they are used for harvest celebrations ; `` the first picking of fruits was heaped around them as offerings '' . When the statues were not used , they would be wrapped in bark cloth and kept at home . There were a few times that are reported when the islanders would pick up the figures like dolls and dance with them . The earlier figures are rare and generally depict a male figure with an emaciated body and a goatee . The figures ' ribs and vertebrae are exposed and many examples show carved glyphs on various parts of the body but more specifically , on the top of the head . The female figures , rarer than the males , depict the body as flat and often with the female 's hand lying across the body . The figures , although some were quite large , were worn as ornamental pieces around a tribesman 's neck . The more figures worn , the more important the man . The figures have a shiny patina developed from constant handling and contact with human skin . Ao , a large dancing paddle 21st - century culture ( edit ) The Rapanui sponsor an annual festival , the Tapati , held since 1975 around the beginning of February to celebrate Rapanui culture . The islanders also maintain a national football team and three discos in the town of Hanga Roa . Other cultural activities include a musical tradition that combines South American and Polynesian influences and woodcarving . Sports ( edit ) The Chilean leg of the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series takes place on the Island of Rapa Nui . Demographics ( edit ) Further information : Europeans in Oceania 2012 census ( edit ) Population at the 2012 census was 5,761 ( increased from 3,791 in 2002 ) . In 2002 , 60 % were persons of indigenous Rapa Nui origin , 39 % were mainland Chileans ( or their Easter Island - born descendants ) of European or mestizo ( mixed European and indigenous Chilean Amerindian ) origin , and the remaining 1 % were indigenous mainland Chilean Amerindians ( or their Easter Island - born descendants ) . Population density on Easter Island in 2012 is only 35 inhabitants per square kilometre ( 91 / sq mi ) . Real life in Rapa Nui Polynesian dancing with feather costumes is on the tourist itinerary . Hanga Roa town hall Fishing boats Front view of the Catholic Church , Hanga Roa Catholic Church , Hanga Roa Interior view of the Catholic Church in Hanga Roa Demographic history ( edit ) The 1982 population was 1,936 . The increase in population in the last census was partly caused by the arrival of people of European or mixed European and Native American descent from the Chilean mainland . However , most married a Rapanui spouse . Around 70 % of the population were natives . Estimates of the pre-European population range from 7 -- 17,000 . Easter Island 's all - time low of 111 inhabitants was reported in 1877 . Out of these 111 Rapanui , only 36 had descendants , but all of today 's Rapanui claim descent from those 36 . Administration and legal status ( edit ) Easter Island shares with Juan Fernández Islands the constitutional status of `` special territory '' of Chile , granted in 2007 . As of 2011 a special charter for the island was under discussion in the Chilean Congress . Administratively , the island is a province of the Valparaíso Region and contains a single commune ( comuna ) . Both the province and the commune are called Isla de Pascua and encompass the whole island and its surrounding islets and rocks , plus Isla Salas y Gómez , some 380 km ( 236 mi ) to the east . The provincial governor is appointed by the President of the Republic . The municipal administration is located in Hanga Roa , led by a mayor and a six - member municipal council , all directly elected for a four - year mandate .

where did the stones on easter island come from
[ "Almost all (95%)[citation needed] moai were carved from compressed, easily worked solidified volcanic ash or tuff found at a single site on the side of the extinct volcano Rano Raraku. The native islanders who carved them used only stone hand chisels, mainly basalt toki, which lie in place all over the quarry. The stone chisels were sharpened by chipping off a new edge when dulled. While sculpting was going on, the volcanic stone was splashed with water to soften it. While many teams worked on different statues at the same time, a single moai took a team of five or six men approximately a year to complete. Each statue represented the deceased head of a lineage." ]

Traveling Wilburys
Traveling Wilburys - Wikipedia Traveling Wilburys Jump to : navigation , search The Traveling Wilburys The Traveling Wilburys in 1988 Top : Jeff Lynne , Tom Petty Bottom : Roy Orbison , Bob Dylan , George Harrison Background information Origin Malibu , California Genres Folk rock , country rock , roots rock , heartland rock Years active 1988 ( 1988 ) -- 1990 ( 1990 ) Labels Wilbury / Warner Bros . Associated acts The Move , Electric Light Orchestra , The Beatles , Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers , Mudcrutch Website www.travelingwilburys.com Past members Bob Dylan George Harrison Jeff Lynne Roy Orbison Tom Petty Book : Traveling Wilburys The Traveling Wilburys ( sometimes shortened to the Wilburys ) were a British - American supergroup consisting of Bob Dylan , George Harrison , Jeff Lynne , Roy Orbison , and Tom Petty . The band recorded two albums , the first in 1988 and the second in 1990 , though Orbison died before the second was recorded . The project 's work received much anticipation given the diverse nature of the singer - songwriters . Debut album Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 proved an enduring critical success , in 1989 and 1990 winning accolades such as a Grammy for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 1.1 1988 -- 90 1.2 After the Wilburys 2 Line - ups 3 Discography 3.1 Studio albums 3.2 Box sets 3.3 Singles 3.4 Other charted songs 3.5 Collaborations between members 4 References 5 External links History ( edit ) 1988 -- 90 ( edit ) George Harrison first mentioned the Traveling Wilburys during a radio interview with Bob Coburn on the Rockline radio station in February 1988 . When asked what he planned to do as a follow - up for his Cloud Nine album , Harrison replied : `` What I 'd really like to do next is ... to do an album with me and some of my mates ... a few tunes , you know . Maybe the Traveling Wilburys ... it 's this new group I got : it 's called the Traveling Wilburys , I 'd like to do an album with them and later we can all do our own albums again . '' `` Wilbury '' was a slang term first used by Harrison during the recording of Cloud Nine with Jeff Lynne . Referring to recording errors created by some faulty equipment , Harrison jokingly remarked to Lynne , `` We 'll bury ' em in the mix '' . Thereafter , they used the term for any small error in performance and the term was used again when the group were together . Harrison suggested `` The Trembling Wilburys '' as the group 's name ; instead , Lynne suggested `` Traveling '' , with which the group agreed . Video footage of the creative process was partly shot by British photographer NJ Latham and later edited by George Harrison . Starting with a meal shared by Harrison , Lynne and Roy Orbison , the group came together at Bob Dylan 's home studio in Malibu , California , to record an additional track as a B - side for the single release of Harrison 's `` This Is Love '' . Tom Petty 's involvement came by chance , as Harrison had left his guitar at Petty 's house , and the invitation for Petty to join the session was made when Harrison went to retrieve it . The record label , however , decided that the song that resulted , `` Handle with Care '' , was too good to be released as a `` single filler . '' The members enjoyed working together so much that they decided to create a full album together , Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 . Written by all five men , it was recorded over a ten - day period in May 1988 , and released on October 18 . The album was recorded in the house and garden of Eurythmics member Dave Stewart . The `` Wilburys '' joke was extended further , with the band members credited under various pseudonyms and pretending to be half - brothers -- sons of a fictional Charles Truscott Wilbury , Sr . The album was a critical and commercial success , spawning several successful singles and eventually reaching triple - platinum sales status in the U.S. The album was nominated for several awards and won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group in 1989 . Liner notes on the album cover were written by Michael Palin under a pseudonym . On the second album they were written by Eric Idle under a pseudonym . Roy Orbison died of a heart attack on December 6 , 1988 . In tribute to Orbison , the music video for `` End of the Line '' shows Orbison 's guitar rocking in a chair as the rest of the group play , followed by a brief shot focusing on a framed picture of him . Despite Orbison 's death , the remaining group members recorded a second and final studio album , which they intentionally misnumbered Traveling Wilburys Vol. 3 . It was released on October 30 , 1990 , and met with less success than the previous one . ( In the booklet contained in the 2007 box set , the album title is credited to `` George being George '' ; apparently Harrison was making a wry reference to the appearance of a bootleg that served as a sort of Volume 2 . ) After the Wilburys ( edit ) After his 1991 tour of Japan , George Harrison spoke of a Traveling Wilburys tour : That would be something I 'd like to experience . I 've always played around in my own mind what a Wilburys tour could be . Would each person do a solo set and then do Wilburys at the end , or would we all go right on from beginning to end and make everything Wilburys ? It 's an intriguing thought . We could have a great band up there and the four of us could play acoustic if we wanted to . We could all sing `` Blowin ' in the Wind '' and Bob could sing `` Something '' . Or we could just sing our individual songs and make them Wilbury tunes , as if we 'd recorded them that way . Whatever it was , we could do it . The Wilburys tour never came about . Tom Petty said about the Wilburys touring : I think it would work , if we wanted to do it . I do n't think we ever considered it , really . There were a lot of nights when the conversation would roll around to that . But I do n't think anybody ever took it seriously . I think it would ruin it in a way . Then you 're obligated to be responsible and it 's not in the character of that group . It would make it very formal and that would be the wrong spirit . In the late 1990s and early 2000s , the two Traveling Wilburys albums had limited availability and were out of print in most areas . Harrison , as primary holder of the rights , did not reissue them before his death . In June 2007 , the two albums were reissued as The Traveling Wilburys Collection , a box set including both albums on CD ( with bonus tracks ) and a DVD featuring a twenty - four - minute band documentary and a collection of music videos . The box set was released in three editions ; the standard edition , with both CDs and DVD in a double Digipak package and a 16 - page booklet ; a `` deluxe '' boxed edition with the CDs and DVD and an extensive 40 - page booklet , artist postcards , and photographs ; or a `` deluxe '' boxed edition on vinyl . This version omits the DVD , but adds a 12 '' vinyl disc with rare versions of the songs . The release debuted at # 1 in the UK album charts and the Australian album charts . On the US Billboard 200 it reached # 9 . The collection sold 500,000 copies worldwide during the first three weeks and remained in the UK top 5 for seven weeks after its release . Line - ups ( edit ) Volume 1 `` Nelson Wilbury '' -- George Harrison `` Otis Wilbury '' -- Jeff Lynne `` Lefty Wilbury '' -- Roy Orbison `` Charlie T. Wilbury , Jr . '' -- Tom Petty `` Lucky Wilbury '' -- Bob Dylan Volume 3 `` Spike Wilbury '' -- George Harrison `` Clayton Wilbury '' -- Jeff Lynne `` Muddy Wilbury '' -- Tom Petty `` Boo Wilbury '' -- Bob Dylan Jim Keltner , the session drummer and percussionist , was not listed as a Wilbury on either album . However , he is seen in all of the group 's music videos , and on the DVD released in 2007 , he is given the nickname `` Buster Sidebury '' . Overdubs to the bonus tracks `` Maxine '' and `` Like a Ship '' also credit `` Ayrton Wilbury '' , a pseudonym for Dhani Harrison . The name Ayrton was used in honor of F1 racer Ayrton Senna . Jim Horn played saxophone on both albums . The lead guitar on the Volume 3 song `` She 's My Baby '' was played by rock guitarist Gary Moore .

Geography of Nigeria
Geography of Nigeria - wikipedia Geography of Nigeria Jump to : navigation , search Location of Nigeria Nigeria map of Köppen climate classification . Satellite image of Nigeria Nigeria is a country in West Africa . Nigeria shares land borders with the Republic of Benin in the west , Chad and Cameroon in the east , and Niger in the north . Its coast lies on the Gulf of Guinea in the south and it borders Lake Chad to the northeast . Noted geographical features in Nigeria include the Adamawa highlands , Mambilla Plateau , Jos Plateau , Obudu Plateau , the Niger River , River Benue and Niger Delta . Nigeria is found in the Tropics , where the climate is seasonally damp and very humid . Nigeria is affected by four climate types ; these climate types are distinguishable , as one moves from the southern part of Nigeria to the northern part of Nigeria through Nigeria 's middle belt . Contents ( hide ) 1 Climate types found in Nigeria 2 Seasons 3 Trade winds 3.1 Tropical maritime airmass 3.2 Tropical continental airmass 3.2. 1 Effects of the tropical continental airmass 4 Temperature 5 Topography 6 Niger Delta 6.1 Vegetation of the Niger Delta 6.2 Human population in the Niger Delta 6.3 Rainfall in Niger Delta 7 Vegetation 8 Natural resources and land use 9 Extreme points 10 References Climate types found in Nigeria ( edit ) The tropical monsoon climate , designated by the Köppen climate classification as `` Am '' , is found in the southern part of the country . This climate is influenced by the monsoons originating from the South Atlantic ocean , which is brought into the country by the ( maritime tropical ) MT airmass , a warm moist sea to land seasonal wind . Its warmth and high humidity gives it a strong tendency to ascend and produce copious rainfall , which is a result of the condensation of water vapour in the rapidly rising air . The Tropical monsoon climate has a very small temperature range . Then temperature ranges are almost constant throughout the year , for example , Warri town in the southern part of Nigeria , records a maximum of 28 ° C ( 82.4 ° F ) for its hottest month while its lowest temperature is 26 ° C ( 78.8 ° F ) in its coldest month . The temperature difference of Warri town is not more than 2 ° C ( 5 ° F ) . The southern part of Nigeria experiences heavy and abundant rainfall . These storms are usually convectional in nature due to the regions proximity , to the equatorial belt . The annual rainfall received in this region is very high , usually above the 2,000 mm ( 78.7 in ) rainfall totals giving for tropical rainforest climates worldwide . Over 4,000 mm ( 157.5 in ) of rainfall is received in the coastal region of Nigeria around the Niger delta area . Bonny town found in the coastal region of the Niger delta area in southern Nigeria receives well over 4,000 mm ( 157.5 in ) of rainfall annually . The rest of the southeast receives between 2,000 and 3,000 mm ( 118.1 in ) of rain per year . The southern region of Nigeria experiences a double rainfall maxima characterised by two high rainfall peaks , with a short dry season and a longer dry season falling between and after each peaks . The first rainy season begins around March and last to the end of July with a peak in June , this rainy season is followed by a short dry break in August known as the August break which is a short dry season lasting for two to three weeks in August . This break is broken by the short rainy season starting around early September and lasting to Mid October with a peak period at the end of September . The ending of the short rainy season in October is followed by long dry season . This period starts from late October and lasts till early March with peak dry conditions between early December and late February . The tropical savanna climate or tropical wet and dry climate , is extensive in area and covers most of Western Nigeria to central Nigeria beginning from the Tropical rainforest climate boundary in southern Nigeria to the central part of Nigeria , where it exerts enormous influence on the region . This climate , the tropical savanna climate exhibits a well marked rainy season and a dry season with a single peak known as the summer maximum due to its distance from the equator . Temperatures are above 18 ° C ( 64 ° F ) throughout the year . Abuja , Nigeria 's capital city found in central Nigeria , has a temperature range of 18.45 ° C ( 65.21 ° F ) to 36.9 ° C ( 98.4 ° F ) , and an annual rainfall of about 1,500 mm ( 59.1 in ) with a single rainfall maxima in September . The single Dry season experienced in this climate , the tropical savanna climate in central Nigeria beginning from December to march , is hot and dry with the Harmattan wind , a continental tropical ( CT ) airmass laden with dust from the Sahara Desert prevailing throughout this period . With the Intertropical Convergence Zone ( ITCZ ) swinging northward over West Africa from the Southern Hemisphere in April , heavy showers coming from pre-monsoonal convective clouds mainly in the form of squall lines also known as the north easterlies formed mainly as a result of the interactions of the two dominant airmasses in Nigeria known as the Maritime tropical ( south westerlies ) and the Continental tropical ( north easterlies ) , begins in central Nigeria while the Monsoons from the south atlantic ocean arrives in central Nigeria in July bringing with it high humidity , heavy cloud cover and heavy rainfall which can be daily occurrence lasting till September when the monsoons gradually begin retreating southward to the southern part of Nigeria. Rainfall totals in central Nigeria varies from 1,100 mm ( 43.3 in ) in the lowlands of the river Niger Benue trough to over 2,000 mm ( 78.7 in ) along the south western escarpment of the Jos Plateau . The Sahel climate or tropical dry climate , is the predominant climate type in the northern part of Nigeria . Annual rainfall totals are lower compared to the southern and central part of Nigeria . The rainy season in the northern part of Nigeria last for only three to four months ( June -- September ) . The rest of the year is hot and dry with temperatures climbing as high as 40 ° C ( 104.0 ° F ) . Alpine climate or highland climate or mountain climate are found on highlands regions in Nigeria . Highlands with the alpine climate in Nigeria , are well over 1,520 metres ( 4,987 ft ) above sea level . Due to their location in the tropics , this elevation is high enough to reach the temperate climate line in the tropics thereby giving the highlands , mountains and the plateau regions standing above this height , a cool mountain climate . Seasons ( edit ) Nigeria , like the rest of West Africa and other tropical lands , has only two seasons . These are the dry season and the rainy season . The dry season is accompanied by a dust laden airmass from the Sahara Desert , locally known as Harmattan , or by its main name , The Tropical Continental ( CT ) airmass , while the rainy season is heavily influenced by an airmass originating from the south atlantic ocean , locally known as the south west wind , or by its main name , The Tropical Maritime ( MT ) airmass . These two major wind systems in Nigeria are known as the trade winds . Trade winds ( edit ) Tropical Maritime airmass ( edit ) The tropical maritime airmass ( MT ) is responsible for Nigeria 's rainy season . This wind ( the tropical maritime airmass ) invades the country from February in the southern part of Nigeria while it takes longer for the wind to fully cover the whole of the country , reaching the northern part of Nigeria in June . Its invasion is as a result of the northward retreat , of the tropical continental airmass ( CT ) known as the harmattan . The northward retreat of the tropical continental airmass ( CT ) , is caused by the sun 's northward shift from the tropic of capricorn in the southern hemisphere to the tropic of cancer in the northern hemisphere . This shift begins from February and ends in June , when the sun is fully overhead , at the tropic of cancer in the northern hemisphere . During this northward migration of the sun as a result of the earth tilting along its axis , the sun crosses the equator ( around March ) , moving over west Africa at this time on its journey to the northern hemisphere . West Africa comes directly under the sun at this time . The sun is overhead throughout west Africa and over Nigeria during this period of the sun 's northward migration to the tropic of cancer in the northern hemisphere . The whole of West Africa is heated intensely as result of the increased insolation received from the sun being overhead over west Africa . Temperatures can climb as high as 35 ° C ( 95.0 ° F ) over west Africa during this time . Temperatures in the northern part of Nigeria can go as high as 48 ° C ( 118.4 ° F ) in cities like Maiduguri . The high temperatures coupled with an increase in insolation causes a region of low pressure to develop over west Africa and Nigeria ( between March to May ) . The Tropical continental airmass ( CT ) from the Sahara Desert in the northern part of West Africa , is weakened due to the overheating of the land surface in west Africa and Nigeria at this time . The Tropical continental airmass ( CT ) begins to retreat northwards to the Sahara Desert due to massive heating of the land which transfers heat in the form of convection into the Tropical continental airmass ( CT ) which constitutes the main layer of air above the land . This transfer of heat in the Tropical continental airmass ( CT ) in turn , causes the wind to expand and become lighter as this is the normal behaviour for winds moving above intensely heated grounds . The Tropical continental airmass ( CT ) loses its strength as a major airmass in the region of west Africa and over Nigeria at this time ( around February in the southern part of Nigeria to June in northern Nigeria ) and begins to retreat coupled with the rising of air in form of convection within this airmass ( Tropical continental airmass ( CT ) ) , further weakening the dominance of the wind over west Africa and Nigeria . The Tropical continental airmass ( CT ) finally retreats from most part of Nigeria , and the West African atmosphere around April to May , leaving an empty atmosphere over Nigeria . The sun 's rays enters into the atmosphere of Nigeria more intense than it does during the presence of the Tropical continental airmass , which contained dust ( in form of haze ) that reduced the intensity of the sun . The overheating of the west Africa land mass and Nigeria in particular creates a low pressure region over west Africa and Nigeria . This low pressure zone attracts the Tropical Maritime Airmass ( MT ) from the south Atlantic Ocean since areas of low pressures experiences inward blowing winds because winds are moving air blowing outwards from regions of high pressure to regions of low pressure . The Tropical Maritime Airmass is a warm humid and unstable trade wind due to its warmth . Convectional currents are easily set up within the airmass whenever there is little instability in the airmass as a result of a slight to a very high orographic uplift in mountainous regions like the obudu plateau or the heating of the land which can trigger the formation of cumulonimbus cloud leading to thunderstorms within the airmass . During the dominance of the Tropical Maritime Airmass ( MT ) in the rainy season of Nigeria , mornings are bright and sunny , the sun 's heating of the land in the mornings and afternoons sets up convectional currents , these currents rise vertically and cumulonimbus clouds are formed , by afternoons to evenings , torrential downpour follows . The Easterly wave or the African easterly waves is another major contributor of rainfall during the summer monsoons months of May to September in Nigeria . The nature of this waves changes at about the 15 degrees line . The waves that pass south of this line carry moisture and create convection that leads to rain clouds . Nigeria 's northern end is south of the 15 degrees line at about 14 degrees . Nigeria 's location in the wetter part of the easterly waves south of the 15 degree line creates wetter climatic conditions for Nigeria especially during the monsoons . Tropical continental airmass ( edit ) The Tropical Continental Airmass ( CT ) locally known as the harmattan , is a wind originating from North Africa which crosses the Sahara Desert into west Africa to Nigeria . This airmass dominates Nigeria 's climate during the dry season from December to March . The Tropical continental airmass is dusty and creates a haze within the atmosphere of west Africa and Nigeria when it predominates . The haze is as a result of the dust within the airmass limiting visibility and blocking much of the sun 's rays from reaching the earth . Effects of the tropical continental airmass ( edit ) The mass has no ability of forming rain due to low humidity within the airmass , since it crosses the Sahara Desert , it picks up dust instead of water thereby creating little chances for rainfall . The airmass makes life difficult as a result of low visibility which hampers transportation . The dust haze creates an almost desert conditions in the country during the dominance of the Tropical continental airmass ( the harmattan ) . But its coming brings some relief to farmers since the low humidity present in the air quickens the drying of their crops . Temperature ( edit ) Nigeria 's location in the tropics has given her a tropical hot climate . Temperatures in Nigeria vary according to the seasons of the year as with other lands found in the tropics . Nigeria 's seasons are determined by rainfall with rainy season and dry season being the major seasons in Nigeria . The rainy season of Nigeria brings in cooler weather to the country as a result of an increased cloud cover that acts as a blockage to the intense sunshine of the tropics by blocking much of the suns rays in the rainy season ; this in turn cools the land , and the winds above the ground remains cool thereby making for cooler temperatures during the rainy season . But afternoons in the rainy season can be hot and humid , a feature of tropical climates . In the rainy season it is damp , and the rainfalls are usually abundant . The dry season of Nigeria is a period of little cloud cover in the southern part of Nigeria to virtually no cloud cover in the northern part of Nigeria . The sun shines through the atmosphere with little obstructions from the clear skies making the dry season in Nigeria a period of warm weather conditions.In the middle of the dry season around December , a dusty wind from the Sahara Desert called the harmattan enters Nigeria from the northeastern part of the country blocking sun rays partially from shining and also creating haze in the atmosphere , this activities of the wind lowers temperatures considerably saving inhabitants for sometime , from the scorching heat that would have occurred as a result of clearer skies during the dry season . But with the withdrawal of this wind around March to April following the onset of the rainy season , temperatures can go as high as 44 ° C ( 111.2 ° F ) in some parts of Nigeria . Semi temperate weather conditions prevail on the highlands in central Nigeria above 1,200 metres ( 3,937 ft ) above sea level , namely the Jos Plateau . Temperatures on the Jos plateau ranges between 21 ° C to 25 ° C which are cool all year round . Temperate weather conditions occur on the highlands along the Nigeria Cameroon border , in the eastern part of Nigeria . Highlands in these region attain an average height of more than 1,524 m ( 5,000 ft ) to some standing above 2,000 metres ( 6,562 ft ) above sea level . The climate on these highlands is temperate all year round . The major highlands in this region are the Obudu Plateau above 1,584 m ( 5,197 ft ) , Mambilla Plateau above 1,524 m ( 5,000 ft ) and Mt Chappal Waddi above 2,000 m ( 6,562 ft ) . Topography ( edit ) Topography of Nigeria Nigeria 's most expansive topographical region is that of the valleys of the Niger and Benue River valleys ( which merge into each other and form a `` y '' shaped confluence at Lokoja ) . Plains rise to the north of the valleys . To the southwest of the Niger there is `` rugged '' highland , and to the southeast of the Benue hills and mountains are found all the way to the border with Cameroon . Coastal plains are found in both the southwest and the southeast . Niger Delta ( edit ) This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( January 2011 ) The Niger Delta is located in the southern part of Nigeria . It is one of the world 's largest arcuate fan - shaped river deltas . The riverine area of the Niger Delta is a coastal belt of swamps bordering the Atlantic ocean . The swamps are vegetated tidal flats formed by a reticulate pattern of interconnected meandering creeks and distributaries of the River Niger . Vegetation of the Niger Delta ( edit ) The vegetation of the Niger Delta consist mainly of forest swamps . The forest are of two types , nearest the sea is a belt of saline / brackish Mangrove swamp separated from the sea by sand beach ridges within the mangrove swamp . Numerous sandy islands occur with fresh water vegetation . Fresh water swamps gradually supersede the mangrove on the landward side . About 70 % of Nigeria 's crude oil and gas production is from the area . Human population in the Niger Delta ( edit ) This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( January 2011 ) The riverine area is home to a large population of people living mainly in small villages scattered along the banks of rivers and creeks . Rainfall in Niger Delta ( edit ) Rainfall in the coastal belt of the Niger Delta is heavy due to the closeness of the Delta region to the equator . Annual rainfall totals vary from 2400 to over 4000 millimeters . Niger Delta cities and their annually rainfall totals in millimeters : Warri -- 2,730 mm Forcados ( coastal town in the Niger Delta ) -- 4,870 mm Port Harcourt -- 2,400 mm Calabar ( coastal city ) -- 3,070 mm ( rainiest city with over one million people in Nigeria ) Bonny ( south of Port Harcourt ) -- 4,200 mm Vegetation ( edit ) Vegetation map of Nigeria . Nigeria is covered by three types of vegetation : forests ( where there is significant tree cover ) , savannahs ( insignificant tree cover , with grasses and flowers located between trees ) , and montane land . ( The latter is the least common , and is mainly found in the mountains near the Cameroon border . ) Both the forest zone and the savannah zone are divided into three parts . Some of the forest zone 's most southerly portion , especially around the Niger River and Cross River deltas , is mangrove swamp ( see Central African mangroves ) . North of this is fresh water swamp , containing different vegetation from the salt water mangrove swamps , and north of that is rain forest . The savannah zone 's three categories are divided into mm ' Guinean forest - savanna mosaic , made up of plains of tall grass which are interrupted by trees , the most common across the country ; Sudan savannah , similar but with shorter grasses and shorter trees ; and Sahel savannah patches of grass and sand , found in the northeast . Natural resources and land Use ( edit ) Nigeria 's natural resources include but are not limited to petroleum ( see petroleum in Nigeria ) , tin , columbite , iron ore , coal , limestone , lead , zinc , natural gas , hydropower , and arable land . Extreme points ( edit ) This is a list of the extreme points of Nigeria , the points that are farther north , south , east or west than any other location . Northernmost point -- unnamed location on the border with Niger immediately northwest of the town of Chadawa , Sokoto State . Easternmost point -- unnamed location on the border with Cameroon immediately east of the village of Munyego , Borno State . Southernmost point -- unnamed headland south of the town of Egeregere , Bayelsa State . Westernmost point -- unnamed location on the border with Benin Republic immediately east of the Beninoise town of Jabata , Oyo State .

[ "With the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) swinging northward over West Africa from the Southern Hemisphere in April, heavy showers coming from pre-monsoonal convective clouds mainly in the form of squall lines also known as the north easterlies formed mainly as a result of the interactions of the two dominant airmasses in Nigeria known as the Maritime tropical(south westerlies) and the Continental tropical(north easterlies),[4] begins in central Nigeria while the Monsoons from the south atlantic ocean arrives in central Nigeria in July bringing with it high humidity, heavy cloud cover and heavy rainfall which can be daily occurrence lasting till September when the monsoons gradually begin retreating southward to the southern part of Nigeria.Rainfall totals in central Nigeria varies from 1,100 mm (43.3 in) in the lowlands of the river Niger Benue trough to over 2,000 mm (78.7 in) along the south western escarpment of the Jos Plateau.[5]" ]

Second Continental Congress
Second Continental Congress - wikipedia Second Continental Congress Jump to : navigation , search Second Continental Congress Thirteen Colonies United States Type Type Unicameral History Established May 10 , 1775 Disbanded March 1 , 1781 Preceded by First Continental Congress Succeeded by 1st Confederation Congress Leadership President of Congress Peyton Randolph ( first ) Samuel Huntington ( last ) Secretary Charles Thomson Structure Seats Variable ; ~ 60 Authority President of the Continental Congress Meeting place mainly at Pennsylvania State House , Philadelphia , Pennsylvania from December 1776 to July 1778 various locations , see below Footnotes Though there were about 50 members of the Congress at a given time , it was the states that had votes , so there were effectively only 13 seats . The Second Continental Congress was a convention of delegates from the Thirteen Colonies that started meeting in the spring of 1775 in Philadelphia , Pennsylvania . It succeeded the First Continental Congress , which met in Philadelphia between September 5 , 1774 and October 26 , 1774 . The Second Congress managed the Colonial war effort and moved incrementally towards independence , adopting the United States Declaration of Independence on July 4 , 1776 . The Congress acted as the de facto national government of what became the United States by raising armies , directing strategy , appointing diplomats , and making formal treaties such as the Olive Branch Petition . The Second Continental Congress came together on May 10 , 1775 , effectively reconvening the First Continental Congress . Many of the 56 delegates who attended the first meeting were in attendance at the second , and the delegates appointed the same president ( Peyton Randolph ) and secretary ( Charles Thomson ) . Notable new arrivals included Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania and John Hancock of Massachusetts . Within two weeks , Randolph was summoned back to Virginia to preside over the House of Burgesses ; he was replaced in the Virginia delegation by Thomas Jefferson , who arrived several weeks later . Henry Middleton was elected as president to replace Randolph , but he declined . Hancock was elected president on May 24 . Delegates from twelve of the Thirteen Colonies were present when the Second Continental Congress convened . Georgia had not participated in the First Continental Congress and did not initially send delegates to the Second . On May 13 , 1775 , Lyman Hall was admitted as a delegate from the Parish of St. John 's in the Colony of Georgia , not as a delegate from the colony itself . On July 4 , 1775 , revolutionary Georgians held a Provincial Congress to decide how to respond to the American Revolution , and that congress decided on July 8 to send delegates to the Continental Congress . They arrived on July 20 .

The Second Continental Congress met on May 10 , 1775 to plan further responses if the British government had not repealed or modified the acts ; however , the American Revolutionary War had already started by that time with the Battles of Lexington and Concord , and the Congress was called upon to take charge of the war effort . For the first few months of the war , the Patriots carried on their struggle in an ad - hoc and uncoordinated manner . They had seized arsenals , driven out royal officials , and besieged the British army in the city of Boston . On June 14 , 1775 , the Congress voted to create the Continental Army out of the militia units around Boston and appointed George Washington of Virginia as commanding general . On July 6 , 1775 Congress approved a Declaration of Causes outlining the rationale and necessity for taking up arms in the Thirteen Colonies . '' On July 8 , they extended the Olive Branch Petition to the British Crown as a final attempt at reconciliation ; however , it was received too late to do any good . Silas Deane was sent to France as a minister ( ambassador ) of the Congress , and American ports were reopened in defiance of the British Navigation Acts . The Continental Congress had no explicit legal authority to govern , but it assumed all the functions of a national government , such as appointing ambassadors , signing treaties , raising armies , appointing generals , obtaining loans from Europe , issuing paper money ( called `` Continentals '' ) , and disbursing funds . The Congress had no authority to levy taxes and was required to request money , supplies , and troops from the states to support the war effort . Individual states frequently ignored these requests . Congress was moving towards declaring independence from the British Empire in 1776 , but many delegates lacked the authority from their home governments to take such a drastic action . Advocates of independence moved to have reluctant colonial governments revise instructions to their delegations , or even replace those governments which would not authorize independence . On May 10 , 1776 , Congress passed a resolution recommending that any colony with a government that was not inclined toward independence should form one that was . On May 15 , they adopted a more radical preamble to this resolution , drafted by John Adams , which advised throwing off oaths of allegiance and suppressing the authority of the Crown in any colonial government that still derived its authority from the Crown . That same day , the Virginia Convention instructed its delegation in Philadelphia to propose a resolution that called for a declaration of independence , the formation of foreign alliances , and a confederation of the states . The resolution of independence was delayed for several weeks , as advocates of independence consolidated support in their home governments . The Assembly Room in Philadelphia 's Independence Hall where the Second Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence . On June 7 , 1776 , Richard Henry Lee offered a resolution before the Congress declaring the colonies independent . He also urged Congress to resolve `` to take the most effectual measures for forming foreign Alliances '' and to prepare a plan of confederation for the newly independent states . Lee argued that independence was the only way to ensure a foreign alliance , since no European monarchs would deal with America if they remained Britain 's colonies . American leaders had rejected the divine right of kings in the New World , but recognized the necessity of proving their credibility in the Old World . Congress formally adopted the resolution of independence , but only after creating three overlapping committees to draft the Declaration , a Model Treaty , and the Articles of Confederation . The Declaration announced the states ' entry into the international system ; the model treaty was designed to establish amity and commerce with other states ; and the Articles of Confederation established `` a firm league '' among the thirteen free and independent states . These three things together constituted an international agreement to set up central institutions for conducting vital domestic and foreign affairs . City Tavern in Philadelphia , the delegates ' favorite place to eat and meet informally Congress finally approved the resolution of independence on July 2 , 1776 . They next turned their attention to a formal explanation of this decision , the United States Declaration of Independence which was approved on July 4 and published soon thereafter . The Congress moved from Philadelphia to Baltimore in the winter of 1776 to avoid capture by British forces who were advancing on Philadelphia . Henry Fite 's tavern was the largest building in Baltimore Town at the time and provided a comfortable location of sufficient size for Congress to meet . Its site at the western edge of town was beyond easy reach of the British Royal Navy 's ships should they try to sail up the harbor and the Patapsco River to shell the town . Congress was again forced to flee Philadelphia at the end of September 1777 , as British troops occupied the city ; they moved to York , Pennsylvania and continued their work . Congress passed the Articles of Confederation on November 15 , 1777 , after more than a year of debate , and sent them to the states for ratification . Jefferson 's proposal was rejected for a Senate to represent the states and a House to represent the people , but a similar proposal was adopted later in the United States Constitution . One issue of debate was large states wanting a larger say , nullified by small states who feared tyranny . The small states won and each state had one vote . Congress urged the individual states to pass the Articles as quickly as possible , but it took three and a half years for all the states to ratify them . The State Legislature of Virginia was the first of the Thirteen States to ratify the Articles on December 16 , 1777 , and the State Legislature of Maryland was the last on February 2 , 1781 .

It was written and sung by the band 's lead guitarist , Donald `` Buck Dharma '' Roeser , and was produced by David Lucas , Murray Krugman and Sandy Pearlman . The song is built around Dharma 's opening , repetitive guitar riff , while the lyrics deal with eternal love and the inevitability of death . Dharma wrote the song while picturing an early death for himself . Released as an edited single , the song was Blue Öyster Cult 's biggest chart success , reaching # 7 in Cash Box and # 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 in late 1976 . Additionally , critical reception was mainly positive and , in 2004 , `` ( Do n't Fear ) The Reaper '' was listed at number 405 on the Rolling Stone list of the top 500 songs of all time .

It is , like , not to be afraid of it ( as opposed to actively bring it about ) . It 's basically a love song where the love transcends the actual physical existence of the partners . '' -- Buck Dharma , lead singer The song is about the inevitability of death and the foolishness of fearing it , and was written when Dharma was thinking about what would happen if he died at a young age . Lyrics such as `` Romeo and Juliet are together in eternity '' have led many listeners to interpret the song to be about a murder - suicide pact , but Dharma says the song is about eternal love , rather than suicide . He used Romeo and Juliet as motifs to describe a couple believing they would meet again in the afterlife . He guessed that `` 40,000 men and women '' died each day , and the figure was used several times in the lyrics . Composition and recording ( edit ) `` ( Do n't Fear ) The Reaper '' was written and sung by the band 's lead guitarist , Dharma , and produced by David Lucas , Murray Krugman , and Sandy Pearlman . The song 's distinctive guitar riff is built on the `` i - VII - VI '' chord progression , in an A minor scale . The riff was recorded with Krugmann 's Gibson ES - 175 guitar , which was run through a Music Man 410 combo amplifier , and Dharma 's vocals were captured with a Telefunken U47 tube microphone . The guitar solo and guitar rhythm sections were recorded in one take , while a four - track tape machine amplified them on the recording . Sound engineer Shelly Yakus remembers piecing together the separate vocals , guitar and rhythm section into a master track , with the overdubbing occurring in that order . Mojo described its creation : `` ' Guys , this is it ! ' engineer Shelly Yakus announced at the end of the first take . ' The legendary once - in - a-lifetime groove ! ' ... What evolved in the studio was the extended solo section ; it took them nearly as long to edit the five - minute track down to manageable length as it did to record it . '' The song features prominent use of the cowbell percussion instrument , overdubbed on the original recording . Bassist Joe Bouchard remembered the producer requesting his brother , drummer Albert Bouchard , play the cowbell : `` Albert thought he was crazy . But he put all this tape around a cowbell and played it . It really pulled the track together . '' However , producer David Lucas says that he played it , a claim supported by guitarist Eric Bloom . Reception ( edit ) `` ( Do n't Fear ) The Reaper '' A sample of `` ( Do n't Fear ) The Reaper '' from Blue Öyster Cult 's 1976 album , Agents of Fortune . Problems playing this file ?

It was BÖC 's highest - charting U.S. song and helped Agents of Fortune reach number 29 on the Billboard 200 . `` ( Do n't Fear ) The Reaper '' charted even higher in Canada , peaking at number 7 . The single edit was released in the UK in July 1976 ( CBS 4483 ) but failed to chart . However the unedited album version was released as a single ( CBS 6333 ) in May 1978 , where it reached number 16 on the UK Singles Chart . Critical reaction was mostly positive . Denise Sullivan of Allmusic praised the song 's `` gentle vocals and virtuoso guitar '' and `` haunting middle break which delivers the listener straight back to the heart of the song once the thunder is finished '' .

Legacy ( edit ) `` More cowbell '' ( edit ) Main article : More Cowbell The song was memorialized in the April 2000 Saturday Night Live ( SNL ) comedy sketch `` More Cowbell '' . The six - minute sketch presents a fictionalized version of the recording of `` ( Do n't Fear ) The Reaper '' on an episode of VH1 's Behind the Music . Will Ferrell wrote the sketch and played Gene Frenkle , an overweight cowbell player . `` Legendary '' producer Bruce Dickinson , played by Christopher Walken , asked Frenkle to `` really explore the studio space '' and up the ante on his cowbell playing . The rest of the band are visibly annoyed by Frenkle , but Dickinson tells everyone , `` I got a fever , and the only prescription -- is more cowbell ! '' Buck Dharma thought the sketch was fantastic and said he never gets tired of it . A sample of the sketch is used in Tesla , Inc. 's current Model S , X and 3 cars as an easter egg . In Other Media ( edit ) Stephen King cited the song as the inspiration for his novel The Stand , and it appears as the theme song for the TV miniseries based on the novel . Its lyrics are also quoted at the beginning of the novel . A segment of the song was performed by Red Hot Chili Peppers on May 22 , 2014 , as the conclusion of a drumming contest between the band 's drummer Chad Smith and actor Ferrell . In a repeat of the 2000 SNL sketch , Ferrell again played cowbell for the rendition , which appeared on an episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon .

Sandford The Impending Crisis of the South Brown 's raid on Harpers Ferry 1860 presidential election Crittenden Compromise Secession of Southern States Star of the West Corwin Amendment Battle of Fort Sumter The Battle of Fort Sumter ( April 12 -- 13 , 1861 ) was the bombardment of Fort Sumter near Charleston , South Carolina by the Confederate States Army , and the return gunfire and subsequent surrender by the United States Army that started the American Civil War . Following declarations of secession by seven Southern states , South Carolina demanded that the U.S. Army abandon its facilities in Charleston Harbor . On December 26 , 1860 , Major Robert Anderson of the U.S. Army surreptitiously moved his small command from the vulnerable Fort Moultrie on Sullivan 's Island to Fort Sumter , a substantial fortress built on an island controlling the entrance of Charleston Harbor . An attempt by U.S. President James Buchanan to reinforce and resupply Anderson using the unarmed merchant ship Star of the West failed when it was fired upon by shore batteries on January 9 , 1861 . South Carolina authorities then seized all Federal property in the Charleston area except for Fort Sumter . During the early months of 1861 , the situation around Fort Sumter increasingly began to resemble a siege . In March , Brigadier General P.G.T. Beauregard , the first general officer of the newly formed Confederate States Army , was placed in command of Confederate forces in Charleston . Beauregard energetically directed the strengthening of batteries around Charleston harbor aimed at Fort Sumter . Conditions in the fort , growing ever dire due to shortages of men , food , and supplies , deteriorated as the Union soldiers rushed to complete the installation of additional guns . The resupply of Fort Sumter became the first crisis of the administration of the newly inaugurated U.S. President Abraham Lincoln following his victory in the election of November 6 , 1860 . He notified the Governor of South Carolina , Francis W. Pickens that he was sending supply ships , which resulted in an ultimatum from the Confederate government for the immediate evacuation of Fort Sumter , which Major Anderson refused . Beginning at 4 : 30 a.m. on April 12 , the Confederates bombarded the fort from artillery batteries surrounding the harbor . Although the Union garrison returned fire , they were significantly outgunned and , after 34 hours , Major Anderson agreed to evacuate . There were no deaths on either side as a direct result of this engagement , although a gun explosion during the surrender ceremonies on April 14 caused two Union deaths . Following the battle , there was widespread support from both North and South for further military action . Lincoln 's immediate call for 75,000 volunteers to suppress the rebellion resulted in an additional four southern states also declaring their secession and joining the Confederacy . The battle is usually recognized as the first battle that opened the American Civil War .

On February 7 , the seven states adopted a provisional constitution for the Confederate States of America and established their temporary capital at Montgomery , Alabama . A February peace conference met in Washington , D.C. , but failed to resolve the crisis . The remaining eight states declined pleas to join the Confederacy . The seceding states seized numerous Federal properties within their boundaries , including buildings , arsenals , and fortifications . President James Buchanan protested but took no military action in response . Buchanan was concerned that an overt action could cause the remaining slave states to leave the Union , and while he acknowledged there was no constitutional authority for a state to secede , he could find no constitutional authority for him to act to prevent it . The forts of Charleston Several forts had been constructed in Charleston 's harbor , including Fort Sumter and Fort Moultrie , which were not among the sites seized initially . Fort Moultrie on Sullivan Island was the oldest -- it was the site of fortifications since 1776 -- and was the headquarters of the U.S. Army garrison . However , it had been designed as a gun platform for defending the harbor , and its defenses against land - based attacks were feeble ; during the crisis , the Charleston newspapers commented that sand dunes had piled up against the walls in such a way that the wall could easily be scaled . When the garrison began clearing away the dunes , the papers objected . Major Robert Anderson of the 1st U.S. Artillery regiment had been appointed to command the Charleston garrison that fall because of rising tensions . A native of Kentucky , he was a protégé of Winfield Scott , the general in chief of the Army , and was thought more capable of handling a crisis than the garrison 's previous commander , Col. John L. Gardner , who was nearing retirement . Anderson had served an earlier tour of duty at Fort Moultrie and his father had been a defender of the fort ( then called Fort Sullivan ) during the American Revolutionary War . Throughout the fall , South Carolina authorities considered both secession and the expropriation of federal property in the harbor to be inevitable . As tensions mounted , the environment around the fort increasingly resembled a siege , to the point that the South Carolina authorities placed picket ships to observe the movements of the troops and threatened to attack when forty rifles were transferred to one of the harbor forts from the U.S. arsenal in the city . In contrast to Moultrie , Fort Sumter dominated the entrance to Charleston Harbor and , though unfinished , was designed to be one of the strongest fortresses in the world . In the fall of 1860 work on the fort was nearly completed , but the fortress was thus far garrisoned by a single soldier , who functioned as a lighthouse keeper , and a small party of civilian construction workers . Under the cover of darkness on December 26 , six days after South Carolina declared its secession , Anderson abandoned the indefensible Fort Moultrie , ordering its guns spiked and its gun carriages burned , and surreptitiously relocated his command by small boats to Sumter . President Buchanan and the Star of the West Maj . Robert Anderson South Carolina authorities considered Anderson 's move to be a breach of faith . Governor Francis W. Pickens believed that President Buchanan had made implicit promises to him to keep Sumter unoccupied and suffered political embarrassment as a result of his trust in those promises . Buchanan , a former U.S. Secretary of State and diplomat , had used carefully crafted ambiguous language to Pickens , promising that he would not `` immediately '' occupy it . From Major Anderson 's standpoint , he was merely moving his existing garrison troops from one of the locations under his command to another . He had received instructions from the War Department on December 11 , written by Major General Don Carlos Buell , Assistant Adjutant General of the Army , approved by Secretary of War John B. Floyd : ... you are to hold possession of the forts in this harbor , and if attacked you are to defend yourself to the last extremity . The smallness of your force will not permit you , perhaps , to occupy more than one of the three forts , but an attack on or attempt to take possession of any one of them will be regarded as an act of hostility , and you may then put your command into either of them which you may deem most proper to increase its power of resistance . You are also authorized to take similar steps whenever you have tangible evidence of a design to proceed to a hostile act . Governor Pickens therefore ordered that all remaining Federal positions except Fort Sumter were to be seized . State troops quickly occupied Fort Moultrie ( capturing 56 guns ) , Fort Johnson on James Island , and the battery on Morris Island . On December 27 , an assault force of 150 men seized the Union - occupied Castle Pinckney fortification , in the harbor close to downtown Charleston , capturing 24 guns and mortars without bloodshed . On December 30 , the Federal arsenal in Charleston was captured , resulting in the acquisition of more than 22,000 weapons by the militia . The Confederates promptly made repairs at Fort Moultrie and dozens of new batteries and defense positions were constructed throughout the Charleston harbor area , including an unusual floating battery , and armed with weapons captured from the arsenal . President Buchanan was surprised and dismayed at Anderson 's move to Sumter , unaware of the authorization Anderson had received . Nevertheless , he refused Pickens 's demand to evacuate Charleston harbor . Since the garrison 's supplies were limited , Buchanan authorized a relief expedition of supplies , small arms , and 200 soldiers . The original intent was to send the Navy sloop - of - war USS Brooklyn , but it was discovered that Confederates had sunk some derelict ships to block the shipping channel into Charleston and there was concern that Brooklyn had too deep a draft to negotiate the obstacles . Instead , it seemed prudent to send an unarmed civilian merchant ship , Star of the West , which might be perceived as less provocative to the Confederates . As Star of the West approached the harbor entrance on January 9 , 1861 , it was fired upon by a battery on Morris Island , which was staffed by cadets from The Citadel , among them William Stewart Simkins , who were the only trained artillerymen in the service of South Carolina at the time . Batteries from Fort Moultrie joined in and Star of the West was forced to withdraw . Major Anderson prepared his guns at Sumter when he heard the Confederate fire , but the secrecy of the operation had kept him unaware that a relief expedition was in progress and he chose not to start a general engagement . In a letter delivered January 31 , 1861 , Governor Pickens demanded of President Buchanan that he surrender Fort Sumter because , `` I regard that possession is not consistent with the dignity or safety of the State of South Carolina . '' Preparations for War Fort Sumter before the battle Conditions at the fort were difficult during the winter of 1860 -- 61 . Rations were short and fuel for heat was limited . The garrison scrambled to complete the defenses as best they could . Fort Sumter was designed to mount 135 guns , operated by 650 officers and men , but construction had met with numerous delays for decades and budget cuts had left it only about 90 percent finished in early 1861 . Anderson 's garrison consisted of just 85 men , primarily made up of two small artillery companies : Company E , 1st U.S. Artillery , commanded by Capt . Abner Doubleday , and Company H , commanded by Capt . Truman Seymour . There were six other officers present : Surgeon Samuel W. Crawford , First Lt. Theodore Talbot of Company H , First Lt. Jefferson C. Davis of the 1st U.S. Artillery , and Second Lt. Norman J. Hall of Company H. Capt . John G. Foster and First Lt. George W. Snyder of the Corps of Engineers were responsible for construction of the Charleston forts , but they reported to their headquarters in Washington , not directly to Anderson . The remaining personnel were 68 noncommissioned officers and privates , eight musicians , and 43 noncombatant workmen . By April the Union troops had positioned 60 guns , but they had insufficient men to operate them all . The fort consisted of three levels of enclosed gun positions , or casemates . The second level of casemates was unoccupied . The majority of the guns were on the first level of casemates , on the upper level ( the parapet or barbette positions ) , and on the center parade field . Unfortunately for the defenders , the original mission of the fort -- harbor defense -- meant that it was designed so that the guns were primarily aimed at the Atlantic , with little capability of protecting from artillery fire from the surrounding land or from infantry conducting an amphibious assault . Brig. Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard In March , Brig. Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard took command of South Carolina forces in Charleston ; on March 1 , President Jefferson Davis had appointed him the first general officer in the armed forces of the new Confederacy , specifically to take command of the siege . Beauregard made repeated demands that the Union force either surrender or withdraw and took steps to ensure that no supplies from the city were available to the defenders , whose food was running low . He also increased drills amongst the South Carolina militia , training them to operate the guns they manned . Ironically , Major Anderson had been Beauregard 's artillery instructor at West Point ; the two had been especially close , and Beauregard had become Anderson 's assistant after graduation . Both sides spent March drilling and improving their fortifications to the best of their abilities . Beauregard , a trained military engineer , built - up overwhelming strength to challenge Fort Sumter . Fort Moultrie had three 8 - inch Columbiads , two 8 - inch howitzers , five 32 - pound smoothbores , and four 24 - pounders . Outside of Moultrie were five 10 - inch mortars , two 32 - pounders , two 24 - pounders , and a 9 - inch Dahlgren smoothbore . The floating battery next to Fort Moultrie had two 42 - pounders and two 32 - pounders on a raft protected by iron shielding . Fort Johnson on James Island had one 24 - pounder and four 10 - inch mortars . At Cummings Point on Morris Island , the Confederates had emplaced seven 10 - inch mortars , two 42 - pounders , an English Blakely rifled cannon , and three 8 - inch Columbiads , the latter in the so - called Iron Battery , protected by a wooden shield faced with iron bars . About 6,000 men were available to man the artillery and to assault the fort , if necessary , including the local militia , young boys and older men . Decisions for War On March 4 , 1861 , Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated as president . He was almost immediately confronted with the surprise information that Major Anderson was reporting that only six weeks of rations remained at Fort Sumter . A crisis similar to the one at Fort Sumter had emerged at Pensacola , Florida , where Confederates threatened another U.S. fortification -- Fort Pickens . Lincoln and his new cabinet struggled with the decisions of whether to reinforce the forts , and how . They were also concerned about whether to take actions that might start open hostilities and which side would be perceived as the aggressor as a result . Similar discussions and concerns were occurring in the Confederacy . After the formation of the Confederate States of America in early February , there was some debate among the secessionists whether the capture of the fort was rightly a matter for South Carolina or for the newly declared national government in Montgomery , Alabama . South Carolina governor Pickens was among the states ' rights advocates who thought that all property in Charleston harbor had reverted to South Carolina upon that state 's secession as an independent commonwealth . This debate ran alongside another discussion about how aggressively the installations -- including Forts Sumter and Pickens -- should be obtained . President Davis , like his counterpart in Washington , preferred that his side not be seen as the aggressor . Both sides believed that the first side to use force would lose precious political support in the border states , whose allegiance was undetermined ; before Lincoln 's inauguration on March 4 , five states had voted against secession , including Virginia , and Lincoln openly offered to evacuate Fort Sumter if it would guarantee Virginia 's loyalty . The South sent delegations to Washington , D.C. , and offered to pay for the Federal properties and enter into a peace treaty with the United States . Lincoln rejected any negotiations with the Confederate agents because he did not consider the Confederacy a legitimate nation and making any treaty with it would be tantamount to recognition of it as a sovereign government . However , Secretary of State William H. Seward , who wished to give up Sumter for political reasons -- as a gesture of good will -- engaged in unauthorized and indirect negotiations that failed . On April 4 , as the supply situation on Sumter became critical , President Lincoln ordered a relief expedition , to be commanded by former naval captain ( and future Assistant Secretary of the Navy ) Gustavus V. Fox , who had proposed a plan for nighttime landings of smaller vessels than the Star of the West . Fox 's orders were to land at Sumter with supplies only , and if he was opposed by the Confederates , to respond with the U.S. Navy vessels following and to then land both supplies and men . This time , Maj . Anderson was informed of the impending expedition , although the arrival date was not revealed to him . On April 6 , Lincoln notified Governor Pickens that `` an attempt will be made to supply Fort Sumter with provisions only , and that if such attempt be not resisted , no effort to throw in men , arms , or ammunition will be made without further notice , ( except ) in case of an attack on the fort . '' Lincoln 's notification had been made to the governor of South Carolina , not the new Confederate government , which Lincoln did not recognize . Pickens consulted with Beauregard , the local Confederate commander . Soon President Davis ordered Beauregard to repeat the demand for Sumter 's surrender , and if it did not , to reduce the fort before the relief expedition arrived . The Confederate cabinet , meeting in Montgomery , endorsed Davis 's order on April 9 . Only Secretary of State Robert Toombs opposed this decision : he reportedly told Jefferson Davis the attack `` will lose us every friend at the North . You will only strike a hornet 's nest ... Legions now quiet will swarm out and sting us to death . It is unnecessary . It puts us in the wrong . It is fatal . '' Beauregard dispatched aides -- Col. James Chesnut , Col. James A. Chisholm , and Capt . Stephen D. Lee -- to Fort Sumter on April 11 to issue the ultimatum . Anderson refused , although he reportedly commented , `` I shall await the first shot , and if you do not batter us to pieces , we shall be starved out in a few days . '' The aides returned to Charleston and reported this comment to Beauregard . At 1 a.m. on April 12 , the aides brought Anderson a message from Beauregard : `` If you will state the time which you will evacuate Fort Sumter , and agree in the meantime that you will not use your guns against us unless ours shall be employed against Fort Sumter , we will abstain from opening fire upon you . '' After consulting with his senior officers , Maj . Anderson replied that he would evacuate Sumter by noon , April 15 , unless he received new orders from his government or additional supplies . Col. Chesnut considered this reply to be too conditional and wrote a reply , which he handed to Anderson at 3 : 20 a.m. : `` Sir : by authority of Brigadier General Beauregard , commanding the Provisional Forces of the Confederate States , we have the honor to notify you that he will open fire of his batteries on Fort Sumter in one hour from this time . '' Anderson escorted the officers back to their boat , shook hands with each one , and said `` If we never meet in this world again , God grant that we may meet in the next . '' Bombardment Bombardment of the Fort by the Confederates At 4 : 30 a.m. on April 12 , 1861 , Lt. Henry S. Farley , acting upon the command of Capt . George S. James , fired a single 10 - inch mortar round from Fort Johnson . ( James had offered the first shot to Roger Pryor , a noted Virginia secessionist , who declined , saying , `` I could not fire the first gun of the war . '' ) The shell exploded over Fort Sumter as a signal to open the general bombardment from 43 guns and mortars at Fort Moultrie , Fort Johnson , the floating battery , and Cummings Point . Under orders from Beauregard , the guns fired in a counterclockwise sequence around the harbor , with 2 minutes between each shot ; Beauregard wanted to conserve ammunition , which he calculated would last for only 48 hours . Edmund Ruffin , another noted Virginia secessionist , had traveled to Charleston to be present for the beginning of the war , and fired one of the first shots at Sumter after the signal round , a 64 - pound shell from the Iron Battery at Cummings Point . The shelling of Fort Sumter from the batteries ringing the harbor awakened Charleston 's residents ( including diarist Mary Chesnut ) , who rushed out into the predawn darkness to watch the shells arc over the water and burst inside the fort . Major Anderson held his fire , awaiting daylight . His troops reported for a call at 6 a.m. and then had breakfast . At 7 a.m. , Capt . Abner Doubleday fired a shot at the Ironclad Battery at Cummings Point . He missed . Given the available manpower , Anderson could not take advantage of all of his 60 guns . He deliberately avoided using guns that were situated in the fort where casualties were most likely . The fort 's best cannons were mounted on the uppermost of its three tiers -- the barbette tier -- where his troops were most exposed to incoming fire from overhead . The fort had been designed to withstand a naval assault , and naval warships of the time did not mount guns capable of elevating to shoot over the walls of the fort . However , the land - based cannons manned by the Confederates were capable of high - arcing ballistic trajectories and could therefore fire at parts of the fort that would have been out of naval guns ' reach . Fort Sumter 's garrison could only safely fire the 21 working guns on the lowest level , which themselves , because of the limited elevation allowed by their embrasures , were largely incapable of delivering fire with trajectories high enough to seriously threaten Fort Moultrie . Moreover , although the Federals had moved as many of their supplies to Fort Sumter as they could manage , the fort was quite low on ammunition , and was nearly out at the end of the 34 - hour bombardment . A more immediate problem was the scarcity of cloth gunpowder cartridges or bags ; only 700 were available at the beginning of the battle and workmen sewed frantically to create more , in some cases using socks from Anderson 's personal wardrobe . Because of the shortages , Anderson reduced his firing to only six guns : two aimed at Cummings Point , two at Fort Moultrie , and two at the Sullivan 's Island batteries . Ships from Fox 's relief expedition began to arrive on April 12 . Although Fox himself arrived at 3 a.m. on his steamer Baltic , most of the rest of his fleet was delayed until 6 p.m. , and one of the two warships , USS Powhatan , never did arrive . Unbeknownst to Fox , it had been ordered to the relief of Fort Pickens in Florida . As landing craft were sent toward the fort with supplies , the artillery fire deterred them and they pulled back . Fox decided to wait until after dark and for the arrival of his warships . The next day , heavy seas made it difficult to load the small boats with men and supplies and Fox was left with the hope that Anderson and his men could hold out until dark on April 13 . Although Sumter was a masonry fort , there were wooden buildings inside for barracks and officer quarters . The Confederates targeted these with Heated shot ( cannonballs heated red hot in a furnace ) , starting fires that could prove more dangerous to the men than explosive artillery shells . At 7 p.m. on April 12 , a rain shower extinguished the flames and at the same time the Union gunners stopped firing for the night . They slept fitfully , concerned about a potential infantry assault against the fort . During the darkness , the Confederates reduced their fire to four shots each hour . The following morning , the full bombardment resumed and the Confederates continued firing hot shot against the wooden buildings . By noon most of the wooden buildings in the fort and the main gate were on fire . The flames moved toward the main ammunition magazine , where 300 barrels of gunpowder were stored . The Union soldiers frantically tried to move the barrels to safety , but two - thirds were left when Anderson judged it was too dangerous and ordered the magazine doors closed . He ordered the remaining barrels thrown into the sea , but the tide kept floating them back together into groups , some of which were ignited by incoming artillery rounds . He also ordered his crews to redouble their efforts at firing , but the Confederates did the same , firing the hot shots almost exclusively . Many of the Confederate soldiers admired the courage and determination of the Yankees . When the fort had to pause its firing , the Confederates often cheered and applauded after the firing resumed and they shouted epithets at some of the nearby Union ships for failing to come to the fort 's aid . Surrender Fort Sumter Flag Wikisource has original text related to this article : Major Anderson 's telegram announcing the surrender The fort 's central flagpole was knocked down at 1 p.m. on April 13 , raising doubts among the Confederates about whether the fort was ready to surrender . Col. Louis Wigfall , a former U.S. senator , had been observing the battle and decided that this indicated the fort had had enough punishment . He commandeered a small boat and proceeded from Morris Island , waving a white handkerchief from his sword , dodging incoming rounds from Sullivan 's Island . Meeting with Major Anderson , he said , `` You have defended your flag nobly , Sir . You have done all that it is possible to do , and General Beauregard wants to stop this fight . On what terms , Major Anderson , will you evacuate this fort ? '' Anderson was encouraged that Wigfall had said `` evacuate , '' not `` surrender . '' He was low on ammunition , fires were burning out of control , and his men were hungry and exhausted . Satisfied that they had defended their post with honor , enduring over 3,000 Confederate rounds without losing a man , Anderson agreed to a truce at 2 : 00 p.m. Fort Sumter raised Wigfall 's white handkerchief on its flagpole as Wigfall departed in his small boat back to Morris Island , where he was hailed as a hero . The handkerchief was spotted in Charleston and a delegation of officers representing Beauregard -- Stephen D. Lee , Porcher Miles , a former mayor of Charleston , and Roger Pryor -- sailed to Sumter , unaware of Wigfall 's visit . Anderson was outraged when these officers disavowed Wigfall 's authority , telling him that the former senator had not spoken with Beauregard for two days , and he threatened to resume firing . Meanwhile , General Beauregard himself had finally seen the handkerchief and sent a second set of officers , offering essentially the same terms that Wigfall had presented , so the agreement was reinstated . The Union garrison formally surrendered the fort to Confederate personnel at 2 : 30 p.m. , April 13 . No one from either side was killed during the bombardment . During the 100 - gun salute to the U.S. flag -- Anderson 's one condition for withdrawal -- a pile of cartridges blew up from a spark , mortally wounding privates Daniel Hough and Edward Galloway , and seriously wounding the other four members of the gun crew ; these were the first military fatalities of the war . The salute was stopped at fifty shots . Hough was buried in the Fort Sumter parade ground within two hours after the explosion . Galloway and Private George Fielding were sent to the hospital in Charleston , where Galloway died a few days later ; Fielding was released after six weeks . The other wounded men and the remaining Union troops were placed aboard a Confederate steamer , the Isabel , where they spent the night and were transported the next morning to Fox 's relief ship Baltic , resting outside the harbor bar . Our Banner in the Sky ( 1861 ) by Frederic Edwin Church Anderson carried the Fort Sumter Flag with him North , where it became a widely known symbol of the battle , and rallying point for supporters of the Union . This inspired Frederic Edwin Church to paint Our Banner in the Sky , described as a `` symbolic landscape embodying the stars and stripes . '' A chromolithograph was then created and sold to benefit the families of Union soldiers . Confederate Flag flying in Fort Sumter after the 1861 surrender Aftermath The bombardment of Fort Sumter was the first military action of the American Civil War . Following the surrender , Northerners rallied behind Lincoln 's call for all states to send troops to recapture the forts and preserve the Union . With the scale of the rebellion apparently small so far , Lincoln called for 75,000 volunteers for 90 days . Some Northern states filled their quotas quickly . There were so many volunteers in Ohio that within 16 days they could have met the full call for 75,000 men by themselves . Other governors from border states were undiplomatic in their responses . For example , Gov. Claiborne Jackson wrote , `` Not one man will the state of Missouri furnish to carry on any such unholy crusade '' , and Gov. Beriah Magoffin wrote , `` Kentucky will furnish no troops for the wicked purpose of subduing her sister Southern states . '' The governors of other states still in the Union were equally unsupportive . The call for 75,000 troops triggered four additional slave states to declare their secession from the Union and join the Confederacy . The ensuing war lasted four years , effectively ending in April 1865 with the surrender of General Robert E. Lee 's Army of Northern Virginia at Appomatox Courthouse . Charleston Harbor was completely in Confederate hands for almost the entire four - year duration of the war , leaving a hole in the Union naval blockade . Union forces conducted major operations in 1862 and 1863 to capture Charleston , first overland on James Island ( the Battle of Secessionville , June 1862 ) , then by naval assault against Fort Sumter ( the First Battle of Charleston Harbor , April 1863 ) , then by seizing the Confederate artillery positions on Morris Island ( beginning with the Second Battle of Fort Wagner , July 1863 , and followed by a siege until September ) . After pounding Sumter to rubble with artillery fire , a final amphibious operation attempted to occupy it ( the Second Battle of Fort Sumter , September 1863 ) , but was repulsed and no further attempts were made . The Confederates evacuated Fort Sumter and Charleston in February 1865 as Union Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman outflanked the city in the Carolinas Campaign . On April 14 , 1865 , four years to the day after lowering the Fort Sumter Flag in surrender , Robert Anderson ( by then a major general , although ill and in retired status ) returned to the ruined fort to raise the flag he had lowered in 1861 . Two of the cannons used at Fort Sumter were later presented to Louisiana State University by General William Tecumseh Sherman , who was president of the university before the war began . Tributes Civil War Centennial Issue of 1961 The U.S. Post Office Department released the Fort Sumter Centennial issue as the first in the series of five stamps marking the Civil War Centennial on April 12 , 1961 , at the Charleston post office . The stamp was designed by Charles R. Chickering . It illustrates a seacoast gun from Fort Sumter aimed by an officer in a typical uniform of the time . The background features palmetto leaves akin to bursting shells . The state tree of South Carolina , the palmettos suggest the geopolitical area opening Civil War hostilities . This stamp was produced by an engraving and printed by the rotary process in panes of fifty stamps each . The Postal Department authorized an initial printing of 120 million stamps .

[ "The Battle of Fort Sumter (April 12–13, 1861) was the bombardment of Fort Sumter near Charleston, South Carolina by the Confederate States Army, and the return gunfire and subsequent surrender by the United States Army that started the American Civil War. Following declarations of secession by seven Southern states, South Carolina demanded that the U.S. Army abandon its facilities in Charleston Harbor. On December 26, 1860, Major Robert Anderson of the U.S. Army surreptitiously moved his small command from the vulnerable Fort Moultrie on Sullivan's Island to Fort Sumter, a substantial fortress built on an island controlling the entrance of Charleston Harbor. An attempt by U.S. President James Buchanan to reinforce and resupply Anderson using the unarmed merchant ship Star of the West failed when it was fired upon by shore batteries on January 9, 1861. South Carolina authorities then seized all Federal property in the Charleston area except for Fort Sumter." ]

Guitarist Matt Bellamy successfully auditioned for drummer Dominic Howard 's band , Carnage Mayhem , becoming its singer and songwriter . They renamed the band Gothic Plague . They asked Chris Wolstenholme -- at that time the drummer for Fixed Penalty -- to join as bassist ; he agreed and took up bass lessons . The band was renamed Rocket Baby Dolls and adopted a goth - glam image . In 1994 , Rocket Baby Dolls won a local battle of the bands , smashing their equipment in the process . Bellamy said : `` It was supposed to be a protest , a statement , so , when we actually won , it was a real shock , a massive shock . After that , we started taking ourselves seriously . '' The band quit their jobs , changed their name to Muse , and moved away from Teignmouth . The name `` Muse '' was supposedly inspired by Matthew Bellamy 's art teacher Samuel Theoun . The band liked that it was short and thought that it looked good on a poster . According to journalist Mark Beaumont , the band wanted the name to reflect `` the sense Matt had that he had somehow ' summoned up ' this band , the way mediums could summon up inspirational spirits at times of emotional need . '' 1998 -- 2000 : first eps and Showbiz ( edit ) Main article : Showbiz ( album ) After a few years building a fanbase , Muse played their first gigs in London and Manchester supporting Skunk Anansie on tour . They had a significant meeting with Dennis Smith , the owner of Sawmills Studio , situated in a converted water mill in Cornwall . He had seen the three boys grow up as he knew their parents , and had a production company with their future manager Safta Jaffery , with whom he had recently started the record label Taste Media . The meeting led to their first serious recordings and the release of the Muse EP on 11 May 1998 on Sawmills ' in - house Dangerous label , produced by Paul Reeve . Their second EP , the Muscle Museum EP , also produced by Reeve , was released on 11 January 1999 . It reached number 3 in the indie singles chart and attracted the attention of British radio broadcaster Steve Lamacq and the weekly British music publication NME . Later in 1999 , Muse performed on the Emerging Artist 's stage at Woodstock 1999 and signed with Smith and Jaffery . The Muse logo , incorporated chiefly since the release of Muse EP in 1998 Despite the success of their second EP , British record companies were reluctant to sign Muse . After a trip to New York 's CMJ Festival , Nanci Walker , then Sr. Director of A&R at Columbia Records , flew Muse to the US to showcase for Columbia Records ' then - Senior Vice-President of A&R , Tim Devine , as well as for American Recording 's Rick Rubin . During this trip , on 24 December 1998 , Muse signed a deal with American record label Maverick Records . Upon their return from America , Taste Media arranged deals for Muse with various record labels in Europe and Australia , allowing them control over their career in individual countries . John Leckie was brought in alongside Reeve to produce the band 's first album , Showbiz ( 1999 ) . The album showcased Muse 's aggressive yet melancholic musical style , with lyrics about relationships and their difficulties trying to establish themselves in their hometown . 2001 -- 02 : Origin of Symmetry and Hullabaloo ( edit ) Main articles : Origin of Symmetry and Hullabaloo Soundtrack Muse performing at Roskilde Festival in Denmark , July 2000 During the production of their second album , Origin of Symmetry ( 2001 ) , Muse experimented with instrumentation such as a church organ , Mellotron , animal bones , and an expanded drum kit . There was more of Bellamy 's falsetto , arpeggiated guitar , and piano playing . Bellamy cites guitar influences such as Jimi Hendrix and Tom Morello ( of Rage Against the Machine ) , the latter evident in the more riff - based songs in Origin of Symmetry and in Bellamy 's use of guitar pitch - shifting effects . The album features a cover of Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse 's `` Feeling Good '' , voted in various polls one of the greatest cover versions of all time . It was released as a double A-side single , `` Hyper Music / Feeling Good '' . Origin of Symmetry received positive reviews by critics ; NME gave the album 9 / 10 and wrote : `` It 's amazing for such a young band to load up with a heritage that includes the darker visions of Cobain and Kafka , Mahler and The Tiger Lillies , Cronenberg and Schoenberg , and make a sexy , populist album . '' Maverick , Muse 's American label , did not consider Bellamy 's vocals `` radio - friendly '' and asked Muse to rerecord the song for the US release . The band refused and left Maverick ; the album was not released in the US until September 2005 , after Muse signed to Warner Bros . In 2002 , Muse released the first live DVD , Hullabaloo , featuring footage recorded during Muse 's two gigs at Le Zenith in Paris in 2001 , and a documentary film of the band on tour . A double album , Hullabaloo Soundtrack , was released at the same time , containing a compilation of B - sides and a disc of recordings of songs from the Le Zenith performances . A double - A side single was also released featuring the new songs `` In Your World '' and `` Dead Star '' . In 2002 , Muse threatened Celine Dion with legal action when she planned to name her Las Vegas show `` Muse '' , despite the band owning the worldwide performing rights to the name . Dion offered Muse $50,000 for the rights , but they turned it down and Dion backed down . Bellamy said `` We do n't want to turn up there with people thinking we 're Celine Dion 's backing band . '' 2003 -- 05 : Absolution ( edit ) Main article : Absolution ( Muse album ) Chris Wolstenholme of Muse performing at the Mod Club Theatre , Toronto in 2004 . The international Absolution tour included the band 's first shows in North America since 1999 .

It debuted at number one in the UK and produced Muse 's first top - ten hit , `` Time Is Running Out '' , and three top - twenty hits : `` Hysteria '' , `` Sing for Absolution '' and `` Butterflies and Hurricanes '' . Absolution was eventually certified gold in the US . Muse undertook a year - long international tour in support of the album , visiting Australia , New Zealand , the United States , Canada , and France . On the 2004 US leg of the tour , Bellamy injured himself onstage during the opening show in Atlanta ; the tour resumed after Bellamy received stitches . In June 2004 , Muse headlined the Glastonbury Festival , which they later described as `` the best gig of our lives '' . Howard 's father , William Howard , who attended the festival to watch the band , died from a heart attack shortly after the performance . Bellamy said : `` It was the biggest feeling of achievement we 've ever had after coming offstage . It was almost surreal that an hour later his dad died . It was almost not believable . We spent about a week sort of just with Dom trying to support him . I think he was happy that at least his dad got to see him at probably what was the finest moment so far of the band 's life . '' Muse won two MTV Europe awards , including `` Best Alternative Act '' , and a Q Award for `` Best Live Act '' , and received an award for `` Best British Live Act '' at the Brit Awards . In July 2005 , they participated in the Live 8 concert in Paris . In 2003 , the band successfully sued Nestlé for using their cover `` Feeling Good '' for a Nescafé advertisement without permission and donated the money won from the lawsuit to Oxfam .

The band felt that the electronic side of their music was becoming too dominant , and wanted to return to a simpler rock sound . After self - producing their previous two albums , the band decided to work with producer Robert John `` Mutt '' Lange so they could focus on performance and spend less time mixing and reviewing takes . Recording took place in the Vancouver Warehouse Studio from October 2014 to April 2015 . Muse announced their seventh album , Drones , on 11 March 2015 . The following day , they released a lyric video for `` Psycho '' on their YouTube channel , and made the song available for instant download with the album pre-order . Another single , `` Dead Inside '' , was released on 23 March . From 15 March to 16 May , Muse embarked on a short tour in small venues throughout the UK and the US , the Psycho Tour . Live performances of new songs from these concerts are included on the DVD accompanying the album along with bonus studio footage . On 18 May 2015 , Muse released a lyric video for `` Mercy '' on their YouTube channel , and made the song available for instant download with the album pre-order . Drones was released on 8 June 2015 . A concept album about the dehumanisation of modern warfare , it returned to a simpler rock sound with less elaborate production and genre experimentation . It topped the album charts in the UK , the US , Australia and most major markets . Muse headlined Lollapalooza Berlin on 13 September 2015 . On 15 February 2016 , Drones won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album at the 58th Grammy Awards . On 24 June , Muse headlined the Glastonbury Festival for a third time , becoming the first act to have headlined each day of the festival ( Friday , Saturday and Sunday ) .

Musical style ( edit ) This section possibly contains original research . Please improve it by verifying the claims made and adding inline citations . Statements consisting only of original research should be removed . ( August 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Described as an alternative rock , space rock and progressive rock band , Muse mix sounds from genres such as electronic music , progressive metal and art rock , and forms such as classical music , rock opera and many others . In 2002 , Bellamy described Muse as a `` trashy three - piece '' . In 2005 , Pitchfork described Muse 's music as `` firmly ol ' skool at heart : proggy hard rock that forgoes any pretensions to restraint ... their songs use full - stacked guitars and thunderous drums to evoke God 's footsteps . '' AllMusic described their sound as a `` fusion of progressive rock , glam , electronica , and Radiohead - influenced experimentation . '' On the band 's association with progressive rock , Howard said : `` I associate it ( progressive rock ) with 10 - minute guitar solos , but I guess we kind of come into the category . A lot of bands are quite ambitious with their music , mixing lots of different styles -- and when I see that I think it 's great . I 've noticed that kind of thing becoming a bit more mainstream . '' For their second album , Origin of Symmetry ( 2001 ) , Muse wanted to craft a more aggressive sound . In 2000 , Wolstenholme said : `` Looking back , there is n't much difference sonically between the mellow stuff and the heavier tracks ( on Showbiz ) . The heavy stuff really could have been a lot heavier and that 's what we want to do with ( Origin of Symmetry ) . '' Their third album , Absolution ( 2003 ) , features prominent string arrangements and began to draw influences from artists such as Queen . Their fourth album , Black Holes and Revelations ( 2006 ) was influenced by artists like Depeche Mode and Lightning Bolt , as well as Asian and European music such as Naples music ; additionally , the band listened to radio stations from the Middle East during the album 's recording sessions . Queen guitarist Brian May has praised Muse 's work , calling the band `` extraordinary musicians '' , who `` let their madness show through , always a good thing in an artist . '' Muse 's sixth album , The 2nd Law ( 2012 ) has a broader range of influences , ranging from funk and film scores to electronica and dubstep . The 2nd Law is influenced by rock acts such as Queen and Led Zeppelin ( on `` Supremacy '' ) as well as dubstep producer Skrillex and Nero ( on `` The 2nd Law : Unsustainable '' and `` Follow Me '' , with the latter being co-produced by Nero ) , Michael Jackson , Stevie Wonder ( on `` Panic Station '' which features musicians who performed on Stevie Wonder 's `` Superstition '' ) and Hans Zimmer . The album features two songs with written and sung by bassist Chris Wolstenholme , who wrote about his battle with alcoholism . Musicianship ( edit ) Many Muse songs are recognizable by lead vocalist Matt Bellamy 's use of vibrato , falsetto , and melismatic phrasing , influenced by Jeff Buckley . As a pianist , Bellamy often uses arpeggios . Bellamy 's compositions often suggest or quote late classical and romantic era composers such as Sergei Rachmaninov ( in `` Space Dementia '' and `` Butterflies and Hurricanes '' ) , Camille Saint - Saëns ( in `` I Belong to You ( Mon Coeur S'ouvre À Ta Voix ) '' ) and Frédéric Chopin ( in `` United States of Eurasia '' ) . As a guitarist , Bellamy often uses the arpeggiator and pitch - shift effects to create a more `` electronic '' sound , citing Jimi Hendrix and Tom Morello as influences . His guitar playing is also influenced by a more classical harmonic aesthetic , particularly the style of Latin and Spanish guitar music , as Bellamy cites : `` I learnt some Spanish guitar music that opened up a world of different harmonies and making music and a different sort of passion ; very heavy music but it has n't got a distortion pedal . '' The bassline , performed by Wolstenholme , is the central motif of many Muse songs , usually fuzz bass , an overdriven , distorted tone . Both Bellamy and Wolstenholme use touch - screen controllers , often built into their instruments ; this touch screen can control a variety of synthesizers and digital effects pedals but is most often used to control a Korg Kaoss pad or Digitech Whammy pedal . Lyrical ( edit ) Most earlier Muse songs lyrically dealt with introspective themes , including relationships , social alienation , and difficulties they had encountered while trying to establish themselves in their hometown . However , with the band 's progress , their song concepts have become more ambitious , addressing issues such as the fear of the evolution of technology in their Origin of Symmetry ( 2001 ) album . They deal mainly with the apocalypse in Absolution ( 2003 ) and with catastrophic war in Black Holes and Revelations ( 2006 ) . The Resistance ( 2009 ) focused on themes of government oppression , uprising , love , and panspermia . The album itself was mainly inspired by Nineteen Eighty - Four by George Orwell . Their sixth studio album , The 2nd Law ( 2012 ) relates to economics , thermodynamics , and apocalyptic themes . Their latest album , Drones ( 2015 ) is a concept album that uses autonomous killing drones as a metaphor for brainwashing and loss of empathy . Books that have influenced Muse 's lyrical themes include : Nineteen Eighty - Four by George Orwell , Brainwashing : The Science of Thought Control by Kathleen Taylor Confessions of an Economic Hitman by John Perkins , Rule by Secrecy by Jim Marrs The Grand Chessboard : American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives by Zbigniew Brzezinski Hyperspace by Michio Kaku , The 12th Planet by Zecharia Sitchin .

Prior to her first release with Virgin , Jackson was asked by Jam and Lewis to record a song for the sound track to the feature film Mo ' Money , released in 1992 by their label Perspective Records . Jon Bream of the Star Tribune reported : `` For most movie soundtracks , producers negotiate with record companies , managers and lawyers for the services of big - name singers . Like the Hollywood outsiders that they are , Edina - based Jam and Lewis went directly to such stars as Janet Jackson , Luther Vandross , Bell Biv DeVoe , Color Me Badd and Johnny Gill . '' A remixed version was later released in 1995 . `` The Best Things in Life Are Free '' is an R&B , dance - pop and house song with a `` steady beat . '' It is written in the key of F # m and their vocal ranges span from the low - note of F # 3 to C # 6 . The song is set in the signature of common time and has a moderate tempo of 120 pulsations per minute . It follows the basic chord progression of B7m -- C # 7m -- F # 7 . Information ( edit ) Jackson and Vandross were nominated for a Grammy Award for `` Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals '' for recording the song . It was the first all - new song Jackson recorded at the new location of Flyte Tyme Studios in Edina , MN , which was completed 2 months after wrapping up recording on her fourth studio album Rhythm Nation 1814 in May 1989 at the original Minneapolis studio . She had done re-recordings and remixes there from 1989 to 1991 . Jackson included the song on her 2011 tour , Number Ones , Up Close and Personal and 2015 - 2016 Unbreakable World Tour . Critical reception ( edit ) Billboard wrote about the song : `` First peek into the hotly anticipated soundtrack to the film `` Mo ' Money '' is a glittery , star - studded pop / jack affair . Vandross and Jackson vocally swerve and weave around each other like they 've been singing together for years . Added flavor comes from guest raps by Bell Biv DeVoe and Tresvant . The true kudos , however , go to the masterful Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis , who have crafted a slammin ' track that would work no matter what . '' Chart Performance ( edit ) In the United States , `` The Best Things in Life Are Free '' debuted at number 24 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 the week of May 30 , 1992 . Three weeks later , the song peaked at number 10 for three consecutive weeks and ended at number 41 on the year - end chart . The song also peaked at number one on the Hot R&B / Hip - Hop Songs . In the United Kingdom the song was released in August 1992 and peaked at # 2 in the UK Singles Chart , spending 13 weeks in the chart . It became Jackson 's first top ten hit in the UK since `` Let 's Wait Awhile '' reached # 3 in 1987 . The song was remixed in 1995 and re-released , reaching # 7 . It was the remixed version that was included on international releases of Janet 's compilation album Design of a Decade : 1986 -- 1996 . It spent 5 consecutive weeks at # 2 on the Australian Singles Chart , spending 18 weeks on the chart , And charting at # 6 On the Year ends chart . Music video ( edit ) A music video was made for the song , although neither Vandross nor Jackson appear in it . Instead , the video features Mo ' Money 's stars Damon Wayans and Stacey Dash , at a carnival , lip - synching to the song ; Damon 's brother Marlon Wayans , who also appears in Mo ' Money , has a cameo appearance in the video . Also included on the track is Michael Bivins and Ronnie DeVoe of Bell Biv DeVoe . Ralph Tresvant also has a very brief spoken line . He appears solo on the song `` Money Ca n't Buy You Love '' from the soundtrack .

R v Sussex Justices, ex p McCarthy
R v Sussex justices , Ex p McCarthy - wikipedia R v Sussex justices , Ex p McCarthy Jump to : navigation , search The King v. Sussex Justices . Ex parte McCarthy Court High Court of Justice Cases cited ( 1924 ) KB 256 ( 1923 ) EWHC KB 1 Court membership Judge ( s ) sitting Lord Hewart CJ , Lush and Sankey JJ R v Sussex Justices , Ex parte McCarthy ( ( 1924 ) 1 KB 256 , ( 1923 ) All ER Rep 233 ) is a leading English case on the impartiality and recusal of judges . It is famous for its precedence in establishing the principle that the mere appearance of bias is sufficient to overturn a judicial decision . It also brought into common parlance the oft - quoted aphorism `` Not only must Justice be done ; it must also be seen to be done . '' Contents ( hide ) 1 Facts 2 Judgment 3 See also 4 External links Facts ( edit ) In 1923 McCarthy , a motorcyclist , was involved in a road accident which resulted in his prosecution before a magistrates court for dangerous driving . Unknown to the defendant and his solicitor , the clerk to the justices was a member of the firm of solicitors acting in a civil claim against the defendant arising out of the accident that had given rise to the prosecution . The clerk retired with the justices , who returned to convict the defendant . On learning of the clerk 's provenance , the defendant applied to have the conviction quashed . The justices swore affidavits stating that they had reached their decision to convict the defendant without consulting their clerk . Judgment ( edit ) The appeal was essentially one of judicial review and was heard at the King 's Bench division by Lord Chief Justice Hewart . In a landmark and far - reaching judgement , Lord Hewart CJ said : `` It is said , and , no doubt , truly , that when that gentleman retired in the usual way with the justices , taking with him the notes of the evidence in case the justices might desire to consult him , the justices came to a conclusion without consulting him , and that he scrupulously abstained from referring to the case in any way . But while that is so , a long line of cases shows that it is not merely of some importance but is of fundamental importance that justice should not only be done , but should manifestly and undoubtedly be seen to be done . The question therefore is not whether in this case the deputy clerk made any observation or offered any criticism which he might not properly have made or offered ; the question is whether he was so related to the case in its civil aspect as to be unfit to act as clerk to the justices in the criminal matter . The answer to that question depends not upon what actually was done but upon what might appear to be done . Nothing is to be done which creates even a suspicion that there has been an improper interference with the course of justice . Speaking for myself , I accept the statements contained in the justices ' affidavit , but they show very clearly that the deputy clerk was connected with the case in a capacity which made it right that he should scrupulously abstain from referring to the matter in any way , although he retired with the justices ; in other words , his one position was such that he could not , if he had been required to do so , discharge the duties which his other position involved . His twofold position was a manifest contradiction . In those circumstances I am satisfied that this conviction must be quashed , unless it can be shown that the applicant or his solicitor was aware of the point that might be taken , refrained from taking it , and took his chance of an acquittal on the facts , and then , on a conviction being recorded , decided to take the point . On the facts I am satisfied that there has been no waiver of the irregularity , and , that being so , the rule must be made absolute and the conviction quashed . '' The ruling is derived from the principle of natural justice and has been followed throughout the world in countries that use the English legal system . It has been applied in many diverse situations , including immigration cases , professional disciplinary cases , domestic tribunals such as members ' clubs , and perhaps most famously in the Pinochet case , where the House of Lords overturned its own decision on the grounds of Lord Hoffman 's conflict of interest .

Rowling . The series is distributed by Warner Bros. and consists of eight fantasy films , beginning with Harry Potter and the Philosopher 's Stone ( 2001 ) and culminating with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows -- Part 2 ( 2011 ) . A spin - off prequel series will consist of five films , starting with Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them ( 2016 ) , marking the beginning of the Wizarding World shared media franchise . The series was mainly produced by David Heyman , and stars Daniel Radcliffe , Rupert Grint , and Emma Watson as the three leading characters : Harry Potter , Ron Weasley , and Hermione Granger . Four directors worked on the series : Chris Columbus , Alfonso Cuarón , Mike Newell , and David Yates . Michael Goldenberg wrote the screenplay for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix ( 2007 ) , while the remaining films had their screenplays written by Steve Kloves . Production took place over ten years , with the main story arc following Harry Potter 's quest to overcome his arch - enemy Lord Voldemort . Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows , the seventh and final novel in the series , was adapted into two feature - length parts . Part 1 was released in November 2010 , and Part 2 was released in July 2011 . Six of the series ' eight films are among the 50 highest - grossing films of all time , with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows -- Part 2 , the highest - grossing film in the series and one of 31 films to gross over $1 billion , ranking at number eight .

The book , Harry Potter and the Philosopher 's Stone , was relegated to a low - priority bookshelf , where it was discovered by a secretary who read it and gave it to Heyman with a positive review . Consequently , Heyman , who had originally disliked `` the rubbish title '' , read the book himself . Highly impressed by Rowling 's work , he began the process that led to one of the most successful cinematic franchises of all time . Heyman 's enthusiasm led to Rowling 's 1999 sale of the film rights for the first four Harry Potter books to Warner Bros. for a reported £ 1 million ( US $2,000,000 ) . A demand Rowling made was that the principal cast be kept strictly British , allowing nevertheless for the inclusion of many Irish actors , such as Richard Harris as Dumbledore , and for casting of French and Eastern European actors in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire where characters from the book are specified as such . Rowling was hesitant to sell the rights because she `` did n't want to give them control over the rest of the story '' by selling the rights to the characters , which would have enabled Warner Bros. to make non-author - written sequels . Although Steven Spielberg initially negotiated to direct the first film , he declined the offer . Spielberg wanted the adaptation to be an animated film , with American actor Haley Joel Osment providing Harry Potter 's voice . Spielberg contended that , in his opinion , there was every expectation of profit in making the film . He claims that making money would have been like `` shooting ducks in a barrel . It 's just a slam dunk . It 's just like withdrawing a billion dollars and putting it into your personal bank accounts . There 's no challenge '' . In the `` Rubbish '' Bin section of her website , Rowling maintains that she had no role in choosing directors for the films , writing `` Anyone who thinks I could ( or would ) have ' veto - ed ' him ( Spielberg ) needs their Quick - Quotes Quill serviced . '' After Spielberg left , conversations began with other directors , including Chris Columbus , Jonathan Demme , Terry Gilliam , Mike Newell , Alan Parker , Wolfgang Petersen , Rob Reiner , Tim Robbins , Brad Silberling , and Peter Weir . Petersen and Reiner both pulled out of the running in March 2000 . It was then narrowed down to Columbus , Gilliam , Parker , and Silberling . Rowling 's first choice was Terry Gilliam . However , on 28 March 2000 Columbus was appointed as director of the film , with Warner Bros. citing his work on other family films such as Home Alone and Mrs. Doubtfire as influences for their decision . Harry Potter is the kind of timeless literary achievement that comes around once in a lifetime . Since the books have generated such a passionate following across the world , it was important to us to find a director that has an affinity for both children and magic . I ca n't think of anyone more ideally suited for this job than Chris ( Columbus ) . -- Lorenzo di Bonaventura , Warner Bros . Steve Kloves was selected to write the screenplay for the first film . He described adapting the book as `` tough '' since it did not `` lend itself to adaptation as well as the next two books '' . Kloves was sent a `` raft '' of synopses of books proposed as film adaptations , with Harry Potter being the only one that jumped out at him . He went out and bought the book , becoming an instant fan . When speaking to Warner Bros. he stated that the film had to be British and true to the characters . David Heyman was confirmed to produce the film . Rowling received a large amount of creative control for the film , an arrangement that Columbus did not mind . Warner Bros. had initially planned to release the first film over the 4 July 2001 weekend , making for such a short production window that several of the originally proposed directors had withdrawn themselves from contention . Eventually , due to time constraints , the date was put back to 16 November 2001 . Casting the roles of Harry , Ron , and Hermione Daniel Radcliffe , Emma Watson , and Rupert Grint at the world premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows -- Part 2 in Trafalgar Square , London on 7 July 2011 . In 2000 , after a seven - month search , lead actor Daniel Radcliffe was discovered by producer David Heyman and writer Steve Kloves seated just behind them in a theatre . In Heyman 's own words , `` There sitting behind me was this boy with these big blue eyes . It was Dan Radcliffe . I remember my first impressions : He was curious and funny and so energetic . There was real generosity too , and sweetness . But at the same time he was really voracious and with hunger for knowledge of whatever kind . '' Radcliffe had already established himself as an actor in the 1999 BBC television production of David Copperfield in which he played the title role 's childhood years . Heyman persuaded Radcliffe 's parents to allow him to audition for the part of Harry Potter , which involved Radcliffe being filmed . ( This screen test footage was released via the first set of Ultimate Editions in 2009 . ) Rowling was enthusiastic after viewing Radcliffe 's filmed test , saying she did n't think there was a better choice for the part of Harry Potter . Also in 2000 , the then unknown British actors Emma Watson and Rupert Grint were selected from thousands of auditioning children to play the roles of Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley , respectively . Their only previous acting experience was in school plays . Grint was eleven years old and Watson ten at the time they were cast . Los Angeles Times writer Geoff Boucher , who conducted the above - mentioned interview with Heyman , added that the casting of the three major roles `` is especially impressive in hindsight . The trio 's selection was arguably one of the best show - business decisions over the past decade ... they have shown admirable grace and steadiness in the face of teen superstardom . '' Production Filming of the series began at Leavesden Studios , Hertfordshire , England , in September 2000 and ended in December 2010 , with post-production on the final film lasting until summer 2011 . Leavesden Studios was the main base for filming Harry Potter , and it opened to the public as a studio tour in 2012 ( renamed as Warner Bros. Studios , Leavesden ) .

Rowling Alexandre Desplat Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows -- Part 2 Warner Bros. Studios , Leavesden , where much of the film series was shot . Harry Potter was also filmed in other areas , including Pinewood Studios . David Heyman produced all the films in the series with his production company Heyday Films , while David Barron joined the series as an executive producer on Chamber of Secrets and Goblet of Fire . Barron was later appointed producer on the last four films . Chris Columbus was an executive producer on the first two films alongside Mark Radcliffe and Michael Barnathan , but he became a producer on the third film alongside Heyman and Radcliffe . Other executive producers include Tanya Seghatchian and Lionel Wigram . J.K. Rowling , author of the series , was asked to become a producer on Goblet of Fire but declined . She subsequently accepted the role on the two - part Deathly Hallows . Heyday Films and Columbus ' company 1492 Pictures collaborated with Duncan Henderson Productions in 2001 , Miracle Productions in 2002 , and P of A Productions in 2004 . Even though Prisoner of Azkaban was the final film produced by 1492 Pictures , Heyday Films continued with the franchise and collaborated with Patalex IV Productions in 2005 . The sixth film in the series , Half - Blood Prince , was the most expensive film to produce as of 2009 . Warner Bros. split the seventh and final novel in the series , Deathly Hallows , into two cinematic parts . The two parts were filmed back - to - back from early 2009 to summer 2010 , with the completion of reshoots taking place on 21 December 2010 ; this marked the end of filming Harry Potter . Heyman stated that Deathly Hallows was `` shot as one film '' but released in two feature - length parts . Tim Burke , the visual effects supervisor of the series , said of the production on Harry Potter , `` It was this huge family ; I think there were over 700 people working at Leavesden , an industry in itself . '' David Heyman said , `` When the first film opened , no way did I think we 'd make eight films . That did n't seem feasible until after we 'd done the fourth . '' Nisha Parti , the production consultant on the first film , said that Heyman `` made the first film very much the way he felt the studio Warner Bros. wanted to make it . '' After the film 's success , Heyman was given `` more freedom '' . One of the aims of the filmmakers from the beginning of production was to develop the maturity of the films . Chris Columbus stated , `` We realised that these movies would get progressively darker . Again , we did n't know how dark but we realised that as the kids get older , the movies get a little edgier and darker . '' This transpired with the succeeding three directors who would work on the series in the following years , with the films beginning to deal with issues such as death , betrayal , prejudice , and political corruption as the series developed narratively and thematically . Directors After Chris Columbus had finished working on Harry Potter and the Philosopher 's Stone , he was hired to direct the second film , Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets . The production started within a week after the release of the first film . Columbus was set to direct all entries in the series , but he did not want to return for the third film , Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban , claiming he was `` burned out '' . He moved to the position of producer , while Alfonso Cuarón was approached for the role of director . He was initially nervous about directing the instalment since 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 since he had immediately connected to the story . David Yates directed four of the films in the series , including the two - part finale Deathly Hallows . Because Cuarón decided not to direct the fourth instalment , Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire , a new director had to be selected . Mike Newell was chosen to direct the film , but he declined to direct the next film , Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix , which was given to David Yates , who also directed Harry Potter and the Half - Blood Prince and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows , becoming the only director to helm more than one film since Chris Columbus . Chris Columbus said his vision of the first two films was of a `` golden storybook , an old - fashioned look '' , while Alfonso Cuarón changed the visual tone of the series , desaturated the colour palette , and expanded the landscape around Hogwarts . Mike Newell decided to direct the fourth film as a `` paranoid thriller '' , while David Yates wanted to `` bring a sense of jeopardy and character to the world '' . Cuarón , Newell , and Yates have said that their challenge was striking a balance between making the films according to their individual vision , while working within a cinematic world already established by Columbus . David Heyman commented on the `` generosity of the directors '' by revealing that `` Chris spent time with Alfonso , Alfonso spent time with Mike and Mike spent time with David , showing him an early cut of the film , talking through what it means to be a director and how they went about ( making the films ) . '' David Heyman also said , `` I suppose Chris Columbus was the most conservative choice from the studio 's point of view . But he expressed real passion . '' Producer Tanya Seghatchian said they were `` more adventurous '' in choosing a director for the third film and went straight to Alfonso Cuarón . Mike Newell became the first British director of the series when he was chosen for the fourth film ; Newell was considered to direct the first film before he dropped out . David Yates directed the final films after David Heyman thought him capable of handling the edgy , emotional , and political material of the later novels . All the directors have been supportive of each other . Chris Columbus praised the character development in the films , while Alfonso Cuarón admired the `` quiet poetry '' of David Yates ' films . Mike Newell noted that each director had a different heroism , and David Yates views the first four films `` respectfully and enjoy ( s ) them . '' Daniel Radcliffe said Yates `` took the charm of the films that Chris made and the visual flair of everything that Alfonso did and the thoroughly British , bombastic nature of the film directed by Mike Newell '' and added `` his own sense '' of realism . Scripts Steve Kloves wrote the screenplays for all but the fifth film , which was penned by Michael Goldenberg . Kloves had direct assistance from J.K. Rowling , though she allowed him what he described as `` tremendous elbow room '' . Rowling asked Kloves to remain faithful to the spirit of the books ; thus , the plot and tone of each film and its corresponding book are virtually the same , albeit with some changes and omissions for purposes of cinematic style , time , and budget constraints . Michael Goldenberg also received input from Rowling during his adaptation of the fifth novel ; Goldenberg was originally considered to adapt the first novel before the studio chose Kloves . A studio model of Hogwarts . It is the main setting in the series ; the castle features in every novel and screen adaptation . In a 2010 interview , David Heyman briefly explained the book - to - film transition . He commented on Rowling 's involvement in the series , stating that she understood that `` books and films are different '' and was `` the best support '' a producer could have . Rowling had overall approval on the scripts , which were viewed and discussed by the director and the producers . Heyman also said that Kloves was the `` key voice '' in the process of adapting the novels and that certain aspects from the books needed to have been excluded from the scripts due to the filmmakers ' decision to keep the main focus on Harry 's journey as a character , which would ultimately give the films a defined structure . Heyman mentioned that some fans `` do n't necessarily understand the adaptation process '' and that the filmmakers would have loved to `` have everything '' from the books in the films but noted that it was not possible since they had `` neither time nor cinematic structure '' to do so . He finished by saying that adapting a novel to the screen is `` a really considered process . '' Because the films were being made as the novels were being published , the filmmakers had no idea of the story 's outcome until the release of the final novel in 2007 . Kloves spoke of his relationship with Rowling when adapting the novels by saying , `` The thing is about Jo , which is remarkable for someone who had no experience with the filmmaking process , was her intuition . We had a conversation the very first day I met her where she said , ' I know the movies ca n't be the books ... because I know what 's coming and it 's impossible to fully dramatise on screen what I 'm going to write . But I just ask you to be true to the characters ; that 's all I care about . ' '' Kloves also said , `` I do n't know what compelled me to say this ( to Rowling ) , but I said , ' I 've just got to warn you my favourite character is not Harry . My favourite character is Hermione . ' And I think for some weird reason , from that moment on , she sort of trusted me . '' Cast and crew See also : List of Harry Potter cast members Aside from the three lead actors , other notable cast members include Robbie Coltrane as Rubeus Hagrid , Tom Felton as Draco Malfoy , Alan Rickman as Severus Snape , and Dame Maggie Smith as Minerva McGonagall . Richard Harris , who played the role of Professor Albus Dumbledore , died on 25 October 2002 causing the role to be re-cast for the third instalment , Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban . David Heyman and director Alfonso Cuarón chose Michael Gambon to portray the character of Dumbledore , which he did for all succeeding films . Notable recurring cast members include Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix Lestrange , Warwick Davis as Filius Flitwick , Ralph Fiennes as Lord Voldemort , Brendan Gleeson as Alastor Moody , Richard Griffiths as Vernon Dursley , Jason Isaacs as Lucius Malfoy , Gary Oldman as Sirius Black , Fiona Shaw as Petunia Dursley , Timothy Spall as Peter Pettigrew , David Thewlis as Remus Lupin , Emma Thompson as Sybill Trelawney , Mark Williams as Arthur Weasley , and Julie Walters as Molly Weasley . The series has seen many returning crew members from various departments , including Tim Burke , visual effects supervisor ; Peter Doyle , digital film colourist ; Nick Dudman , make - up and creature effects designer ; David Holmes , stunt double ; Amanda Knight , make - up artist ; Stephenie McMillan , set designer ; Greg Powell , stunt coordinator ; Jany Temime , costume designer ; and Fiona Weir , casting director . Set design The Hall of Christ Church in Oxford , England , the inspiration for the studio film set of The Great Hall of Hogwarts . The production designer for all eight films is Stuart Craig . Assisted by Stephenie McMillan , Craig has created iconic sets pieces including the Ministry of Magic , the Chamber of Secrets , Malfoy Manor , and the layout for the CGI Horcrux Cave . Because the novels were being published as the films were being made , Craig was required to rebuild some sets for future films and alter the design of Hogwarts . The studio film set of The Great Hall of Hogwarts was one of the first sets ever created for the series . He said , `` In the early days , every time you saw the exterior of Hogwarts , it was a physical miniature , '' which was made by craftsmen and occupied a large sound stage . `` We ended up with a profile of how Hogwarts looked , a skyline that actually I did n't design , and it was n't always satisfactory , and as all the novels got written and movies got made there were new requirements ( for buildings ) . The ( Astronomy Tower ) definitely was n't there originally , and so we were able to add that substantial piece . And in the last film , we needed an arena for the battle for Hogwarts -- the big courtyard outside doubled in size , and if you look at the first movie it was n't there at all . There were quite some liberties taken with the continuity of Hogwarts . '' In the last film , Craig used a digital model instead of a miniature to `` embrace the latest technology '' . On the method of creating the sets , Craig said he often started by sketching ideas onto a blank sheet of paper . Stephanie McMillan also said that `` each film always had plenty of new challenges , '' citing the changes in visual style between directors and cinematographers as an example , along with the developing story in the novels . Due to J.K. Rowling 's descriptions of various settings in the novels , Craig noted his `` responsibility was to place it together '' . Craig commented on his experience working in the studio environment : `` I 'm the production designer , but on a big movie like Harry Potter I may be responsible for 30 to 35 people ; from the supervising art director , and a team of art directors and assistants , to draughtsmen and junior draughtsmen , and then on to model makers , sculptors and scenic artists . '' He said , `` Ten years ago , all the Harry Potter drawings were done in pencil . I would take my roughs and plans and sections and give them to a professional architectural illustrator , who would create concept art using pencil and colour wash on watercolour paper . '' He said the process changed slightly throughout the years due to , what he called , the `` digital revolution '' of making films . When filming of the series was completed , some of Craig 's sets had to be rebuilt or transported for them to be displayed at the Warner Bros. studio tour . Cinematography Six directors of photography worked on the series : John Seale on the first film , Roger Pratt on the second and fourth , Michael Seresin on the third , Sławomir Idziak on the fifth , Bruno Delbonnel on the sixth , and Eduardo Serra on the seventh and eighth . Delbonnel was considered to return for both parts of Deathly Hallows , but he declined , stating that he was `` scared of repeating '' himself . Delbonnel 's cinematography in Half - Blood Prince gained the series its only Academy Award nomination for Best Cinematography . As the series progressed , each cinematographer faced the challenge of shooting and lighting older sets ( which had been around since the first few films ) in unique and different ways . Chris Columbus said the series ' vivid colouring decreased as each film was made . Michael Seresin commented on the change of visual style from the first two films to Prisoner of Azkaban : `` The lighting is moodier , with more shadowing and cross-lighting . '' Seresin and Alfonso Cuarón moved away from the strongly coloured and brightly lit cinematography of the first two films , with dimmer lighting and a more muted colour palette being utilised for the succeeding five films . After comparing a range of digital cameras with 35 mm film , Bruno Delbonnel decided to shoot the sixth movie , Half - Blood Prince , on film rather than the increasingly popular digital format . This decision was kept for the two - part Deathly Hallows with Eduardo Serra , who said that he preferred to work with film because it was `` more technically accurate and dependable '' . Because the majority of Deathly Hallows takes place in various settings away from Hogwarts , David Yates wanted to `` shake things up '' by using different photographic techniques such as using hand - held cameras and very wide camera lenses . Eduardo Serra said , `` Sometimes we are combining elements shot by the main unit , a second unit , and the visual effects unit . You have to know what is being captured -- colours , contrast , et cetera -- with mathematical precision . '' He noted that with Stuart Craig 's `` amazing sets and the story '' , the filmmakers could not `` stray too far from the look of the previous Harry Potter films . '' Editing Along with continuous changes in cinematographers , there have been five film editors to work in post-production on the series : Richard Francis - Bruce edited the first instalment , Peter Honess the second , Steven Weisberg the third , Mick Audsley the fourth , and Mark Day films five through eight . Music See also : Music of the Harry Potter films John Williams scored the first three films and received Academy Award nominations for the first and third films . The Harry Potter series has had four composers . John Williams scored the first three films : Philosopher 's Stone , Chamber of Secrets , and Prisoner of Azkaban . However , the second entry was adapted and conducted by William Ross due to Williams 's conflicting commitments . Williams also created Hedwig 's Theme , which is used in every film in the series . After Williams left the series to pursue other projects , Patrick Doyle scored the fourth entry , Goblet of Fire , which was directed by Mike Newell , with whom Doyle had worked previously . In 2006 , Nicholas Hooper started work on the score to Order of the Phoenix by reuniting with director David Yates . Hooper also composed the soundtrack to Half - Blood Prince but decided not to return for the final films . In January 2010 , Alexandre Desplat was confirmed to compose the score for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows -- Part 1 . The film 's orchestration started in the summer with Conrad Pope , the orchestrator on the first three Harry Potter films , collaborating with Desplat . Pope commented that the music `` reminds one of the old days . '' Desplat returned to score Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows -- Part 2 in 2011 . Director David Yates stated that he wanted John Williams to return to the series for the final installment , but their schedules did not align due to the urgent demand for a rough cut of the film . The final recording sessions of Harry Potter took place on 27 May 2011 at Abbey Road Studios with the London Symphony Orchestra , orchestrator Conrad Pope , and composer Alexandre Desplat . Doyle , Hooper , and Desplat introduced their own personal themes to their respective soundtracks , while keeping a few of John Williams 's themes . Visual effects There have been many visual effects companies to work on the Harry Potter series . Some of these include Rising Sun Pictures , Double Negative , Cinesite , Framestore , and Industrial Light & Magic . The latter three have worked on all the films in the series , while Double Negative and Rising Sun Pictures began their commitments with Prisoner of Azkaban and Goblet of Fire , respectively . Framestore contributed by developing many memorable creatures and sequences to the series . Cinesite was involved in producing both miniature and digital effects for the films . Producer David Barron said that `` Harry Potter created the UK effects industry as we know it . On the first film , all the complicated visual effects were done on the ( US ) west coast . But on the second , we took a leap of faith and gave much of what would normally be given to Californian vendors to UK ones . They came up trumps . '' Tim Burke , the visual effects supervisor , said many studios `` are bringing their work to UK effects companies . Every facility is fully booked , and that was n't the case before Harry Potter . That 's really significant . '' Final filming See also : Production of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows On 12 June 2010 , filming of the Deathly Hallows -- Part 1 and Deathly Hallows -- Part 2 was completed with actor Warwick Davis stating on his Twitter account , `` The end of an Era -- today is officially the last day of principal photography on ' Harry Potter ' -- ever .

In its opening weekend , the film grossed $90 million in the United States alone , which set a record opening worldwide . The succeeding three motion picture adaptations followed suit in financial success , while garnering positive reviews from fans and critics . The fifth film , Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix , was released by Warner Bros. on 11 July 2007 in English - speaking countries , except for the UK and Ireland , which released the movie on 12 July . The sixth , Harry Potter and the Half - Blood Prince , was released on 15 July 2009 to critical acclaim and finished its theatrical run ranked as the number two grossing film of 2009 on the worldwide charts . The final novel , Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows , was split into two cinematic parts : Part 1 was released on 19 November 2010 , and Part 2 , the conclusion to both the final film and the series , was released on 15 July 2011 . Part 1 was originally scheduled to be released in 3D and 2D , but due to a delay in the 3D conversion process , Warner Bros. released the film only in 2D and IMAX cinemas . However , Part 2 was released in 2D and 3D cinemas as originally planned . The television broadcast rights for the series in the United States are currently held by Disney -- ABC Domestic Television , which typically airs the films on the Freeform network . Disney 's contract is expected to end in June 2018 , after which , NBCUniversal will take control of the rights , after their deal with Warner Bros. was made in August 2016 . The film series has accrued nearly 1.3 billion viewings since their television debut -- the highest - watched franchise in television broadcast history . Reception Critical response All the films have been a success financially and critically , making the franchise one of the major Hollywood `` tent - poles '' akin to James Bond , Star Wars , Indiana Jones and Pirates of the Caribbean . The series is noted by audiences for growing visually darker and more mature as each film was released . However , opinions of the films generally divide book fans , with some preferring the more faithful approach of the first two films and others preferring the more stylised character - driven approach of the later films . Some also feel the series has a `` disjointed '' feel due to the changes in directors , as well as Michael Gambon 's interpretation of Albus Dumbledore differing from that of Richard Harris . Author J.K. Rowling has been constantly supportive of the films , and evaluated Deathly Hallows as her favourite one in the series . She wrote on her website of the changes in the book - to - film transition , `` It is simply impossible to incorporate every one of my storylines into a film that has to be kept under four hours long . Obviously films have restrictions -- novels do not have constraints of time and budget ; I can create dazzling effects relying on nothing but the interaction of my own and my readers ' imaginations '' .

Most modern blockbuster franchises have two things in common : they are based on known properties such as books and comics , and they are steered by respected but little - known directors . '' -- The Economist The Harry Potter films and their success have been retrospectively considered to have had a significant impact on the film industry . They are cited as having helped redefine the Hollywood blockbuster in the 21st century by initiating a shift toward established media franchises forming the basis of successful films . In the wake of the final film 's release , Claudia Puig of USA Today wrote that the films `` inspired every major studio to try to capture ( its ) alchemic formula , spawning a range of copycats and wannabes '' and `` also have shown Hollywood how to make a glossy blockbuster with an eye toward keeping costs down . '' A 2009 article from The Economist argued that the films were `` in the vanguard '' of adaptations of established properties being the modern film franchise model , citing The Lord of the Rings , Spider - Man and The Dark Knight Trilogy as examples of successful film series that followed Harry Potter 's suit . Furthermore , the practice of splitting the finale of a film series into two back - to - back films began with the success of Deathly Hallows , and it would soon be replicated by The Hobbit : The Desolation of Smaug and The Battle of the Five Armies , The Twilight Saga : Breaking Dawn -- Parts 1 and 2 , The Hunger Games : Mockingjay -- Parts 1 and 2 , and Avengers : Infinity War and its untitled sequel . The films are also widely credited with singlehandedly signalling the popularity of films based on children 's and young adult literature in the 2000s and 2010s , correlating with the book series ' own literary influence . Costance Grady and Aja Romano , commenting on the whole Harry Potter franchise 's legacy for Vox in light of its 20th anniversary , wrote that youth - targeted literature has since become `` a go - to well of ideas for Hollywood , '' pointing to the successes of The Twilight Saga , The Hunger Games and The Divergent Series . The series has spawned a vast volume of fan fiction , with nearly 600 thousand inspired stories catalogued . Youtube hosts many fan films , ranging from amateur productions to full length films .

Chapters and verses of the Bible
Chapters and verses of the Bible - wikipedia Chapters and verses of the Bible Jump to : navigation , search The Gospel according to John - a text showing chapter and verse divisions ( King James Version ) The Bible is a compilation of many shorter books written at different times by a variety of authors , and later assembled into the biblical canon . Since the early 13th century , most copies and editions of the Bible present all but the shortest of these books with divisions into chapters , generally a page or so in length . Since the mid-16th century editors have further subdivided each chapter into verses - each consisting of a few short lines or sentences . Sometimes a sentence spans more than one verse , as in the case of Ephesians 2 : 8 -- 9 , and sometimes there is more than one sentence in a single verse , as in the case of Genesis 1 : 2 . As the chapter and verse divisions did not appear in the original texts , they form part of the paratext of the Bible . The Jewish divisions of the Hebrew text differ at various points from those used by Christians . For instance , in Jewish tradition , the ascriptions to many Psalms are regarded as independent verses or parts of the subsequent verses , making 116 more verses , whereas established Christian practice treats each Psalm ascription as independent and unnumbered . Some chapter divisions also occur in different places , e.g. Hebrew Bibles have 1 Chronicles 5 : 27 -- 41 where Christian translations have 1 Chronicles 6 : 1 -- 15 . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 1.1 Chapters 1.2 Verses 2 Jewish tradition 2.1 Verse endings 2.2 Parashiyot 2.3 Sedarim 3 Christian versions 4 Protestant Bible statistics 4.1 Chapters 4.2 Verses 5 See also 6 References 7 External links History ( edit ) `` ... they shall beat their swords into plowshares , and their spears into pruning hooks : Nation shall not lift up sword against nation , neither shall they learn war any more . '' ~ Isaiah 2 : 4 KJV ( Bible verse across the street from the United Nations Building in New York City ) Chapters ( edit ) Early manuscripts of the biblical texts did not contain the chapter and verse divisions in the numbered form familiar to modern readers . In antiquity Hebrew texts were divided into paragraphs ( parashot ) that were identified by two letters of the Hebrew alphabet . Peh פ indicated an `` open '' paragraph that began on a new line , while Samekh ס indicated a `` closed '' paragraph that began on the same line after a small space . These two letters begin the Hebrew words open ( patuach ) and closed ( sagoor ) , and are , themselves , open פ and closed ס . The earliest known copies of the Book of Isaiah from the Dead Sea Scrolls used parashot divisions , although they differ slightly from the Masoretic divisions . ( This is different from the use of consecutive letters of the Hebrew alphabet to structure certain poetic compositions , known as acrostics , such as several of the Psalms and most of the Book of Lamentations . ) The Hebrew Bible was also divided into some larger sections . In Israel the Torah ( its first five books ) were divided into 154 sections so that they could be read through aloud in weekly worship over the course of three years . In Babylonia it was divided into 53 or 54 sections ( Parashat ha - Shavua ) so it could be read through in one year . The New Testament was divided into topical sections known as kephalaia by the fourth century . Eusebius of Caesarea divided the gospels into parts that he listed in tables or canons . Neither of these systems corresponds with modern chapter divisions . ( See fuller discussions below . ) Chapter divisions , with titles , are also found in the 9th century Tours manuscript , Paris Bibliothèque Nationale MS Lat. 3 , the so - called Bible of Rorigo . Archbishop Stephen Langton and Cardinal Hugo de Sancto Caro developed different schemas for systematic division of the Bible in the early 13th century . It is the system of Archbishop Langton on which the modern chapter divisions are based . While chapter divisions have become nearly universal , editions of the Bible have sometimes been published without them . Such editions , which typically use thematic or literary criteria to divide the biblical books instead , include John Locke 's Paraphrase and Notes on the Epistles of St. Paul ( 1707 ) , Alexander Campbell 's The Sacred Writings ( 1826 ) , Daniel Berkeley Updike 's fourteen - volume The Holy Bible Containing the Old and New Testaments and the Apocrypha , Richard Moulton 's The Modern Reader 's Bible ( 1907 ) , Ernest Sutherland Bates 's The Bible Designed to Be Read as Living Literature ( 1936 ) , The Books of the Bible ( 2007 ) from the International Bible Society ( Biblica ) , Adam Lewis Greene 's five - volume Bibliotheca ( 2014 ) , and the six - volume ESV Reader 's Bible ( 2016 ) from Crossway Books . Verses ( edit ) Since at least 916 the Tanakh has contained an extensive system of multiple levels of section , paragraph , and phrasal divisions that were indicated in Masoretic vocalization and cantillation markings . One of the most frequent of these was a special type of punctuation , the sof passuq , symbol for a full stop or sentence break , resembling the colon ( : ) of English and Latin orthography . With the advent of the printing press and the translation of the Bible into English , Old Testament versifications were made that correspond predominantly with the existing Hebrew full stops , with a few isolated exceptions . Most attribute these to Rabbi Isaac Nathan ben Kalonymus 's work for the first Hebrew Bible concordance around 1440 . The first person to divide New Testament chapters into verses was Italian Dominican biblical scholar Santi Pagnini ( 1470 -- 1541 ) , but his system was never widely adopted . His verse divisions in the New Testament were far longer than those known today . Robert Estienne created an alternate numbering in his 1551 edition of the Greek New Testament which was also used in his 1553 publication of the Bible in French . Estienne 's system of division was widely adopted , and it is this system which is found in almost all modern Bibles . Estienne produced a 1555 Vulgate that is the first Bible to include the verse numbers integrated into the text . Before this work , they were printed in the margins . The first English New Testament to use the verse divisions was a 1557 translation by William Whittingham ( c. 1524 -- 1579 ) . The first Bible in English to use both chapters and verses was the Geneva Bible published shortly afterwards in 1560 . These verse divisions soon gained acceptance as a standard way to notate verses , and have since been used in nearly all English Bibles and the vast majority of those in other languages . ( Nevertheless , some Bibles have removed the verse numbering , including the ones noted above that also removed chapter numbers ; a recent example of an edition that removed only verses , not chapters , is The Message : The Bible in Contemporary Language by Eugene H. Peterson . ) Jewish tradition ( edit ) Main article : Tanakh § Chapters and verse numbers , book divisions The Hebrew Masoretic text of the Bible notes several different kinds of subdivisions within the biblical books : Verse endings ( edit ) Main article : Sof passuk Most important are the verse endings . According to the Talmudic tradition , the division of the text into verses is of ancient origin . In Masoretic versions of the Bible , the end of a verse is indicated by a small mark in its final word called a silluq ( which means `` stop '' ) . Less formally , verse endings are usually also indicated by two horizontal dots following the word with a silluq . Parashiyot ( edit ) Main article : Parashah The Masoretic textual tradition also contains section endings called parashot , which are usually indicated by a space within a line ( a `` closed '' section ) or a new line beginning ( an `` open '' section ) . The division of the text reflected in the parashot is usually thematic . Unlike chapters , the parashot are not numbered , but some of them have special titles . In early manuscripts ( most importantly in Tiberian Masoretic manuscripts , such as the Aleppo codex ) , an `` open '' section may also be represented by a blank line , and a `` closed '' section by a new line that is slightly indented ( the preceding line may also not be full ) . These latter conventions are no longer used in Torah scrolls and printed Hebrew Bibles . In this system , the one rule differentiating `` open '' and `` closed '' sections is that `` open '' sections must always start at the beginning of a new line , while `` closed '' sections never start at the beginning of a new line . Sedarim ( edit ) Another division of the biblical books found in the Masoretic text is the division of the sedarim . This division is not thematic , but is almost entirely based upon the quantity of text . For the Torah , this division reflects the triennial cycle of reading that was practiced by the Jews of the Land of Israel . Christian versions ( edit ) The Byzantines also introduced a concept roughly similar to chapter divisions , called kephalaia ( singular kephalaion , literally meaning heading ) . This system , which was in place no later than the 5th century , is not identical to the present chapters . Unlike the modern chapters , which tend to be of roughly similar length , the distance from one kephalaion mark to the next varied greatly in length both within a book and from one book to the next . For example , the Sermon on the Mount , comprising three chapters in the modern system , has but one kephalaion mark , while the single modern chapter 8 of the Gospel of Matthew has several , one per miracle . Moreover , there were far fewer kephalaia in the Gospel of John than in the Gospel of Mark , even though the latter is the shorter text . In the manuscripts , the kephalaia with their numbers , their standard titles ( titloi ) and their page numbers would be listed at the beginning of each biblical book ; in the book 's main body , they would be marked only with arrow - shaped or asterisk - like symbols in the margin , not in the text itself . The titles usually referred to the first event or the first theological point of the section only , and some kephalaia are manifestly incomplete if one stops reading at the point where the next kephalaion begins ( for example , the combined accounts of the miracles of the Daughter of Jairus and of the healing of the woman with a haemorrhage gets two marked kephalaia , one titled of the daughter of the synagogue ruler at the beginning when the ruler approaches Jesus and one titled of the woman with the flow of blood where the woman enters the picture -- well before the ruler 's daughter is healed and the storyline of the previous kephalaion is thus properly concluded ) . Thus the kephalaia marks are rather more like a system of bookmarks or links into a continuous text , helping a reader to quickly find one of several well - known episodes , than like a true system of chapter divisions . Cardinal Hugo de Sancto Caro is often given credit for first dividing the Latin Vulgate into chapters in the real sense , but it is the arrangement of his contemporary and fellow cardinal Stephen Langton who in 1205 created the chapter divisions which are used today . They were then inserted into Greek manuscripts of the New Testament in the 16th century . Robert Estienne ( Robert Stephanus ) was the first to number the verses within each chapter , his verse numbers entering printed editions in 1551 ( New Testament ) and 1571 ( Hebrew Bible ) . The division of the Bible into chapters and verses has received criticism from some traditionalists and modern scholars . Critics state that the text is often divided in an incoherent way , or at inappropriate rhetorical points , and that it encourages citing passages out of context . Nevertheless , the chapter and verse numbers have become indispensable as technical references for Bible study . Several modern publications of the Bible have eliminated numbering of chapters and verses . Biblica published such a version of the NIV in 2007 and 2011 . In 2014 , Crossway published the ESV Reader 's Bible and Bibliotheca published a modified ASV . Projects such as Icthus also exist which strip chapter and verse numbers from existing translations . Protestant Bible statistics ( edit ) The number of words can vary depending upon aspects such as whether the Hebrew alphabet in Psalm 119 , the superscriptions listed in some of the Psalms , and the subscripts traditionally found at the end of the Pauline epistles , are included . Except where stated , the following apply to the King James Version of the Bible in its modern 66 - book Protestant form including the New Testament and the protocanonical Old Testament , not the deuterocanonical books . Chapters ( edit ) There are 929 chapters in the Old Testament . 187 chapters in the Pentateuch 249 chapters in the Historical books 243 chapters in the Poetic books ( `` Wisdom '' ) 183 chapters in the Major prophets 67 chapters in the Minor prophets There are 260 chapters in the New Testament . 89 chapters in the Gospels 28 chapters in Acts 87 chapters in the Pauline Epistles ( excluding Hebrews ) 34 chapters in the General Epistles ( including Hebrews ) 22 chapters in Revelation This gives a total of 1,189 chapters ( on average , 18 per book ) . Psalm 117 , the shortest chapter , is also the middle chapter of the Bible , being the 595th Chapter . Psalm 117 is the shortest chapter of the Bible . Psalm 119 is the longest chapter of the Bible . Five books are a single chapter : Obadiah , Philemon , 2 & 3 John , Jude . In many printed editions , the chapter number is omitted for these books , and references just use the verse numbers . Old Testament - 929 chapters Book / Division Chapters Pentateuch ( or the Law ) 187 Genesis 50 Exodus 40 Leviticus 27 Numbers 36 Deuteronomy 34 Historical Books 249 Joshua 24 Judges 21 Ruth 1 Samuel 31 2 Samuel 24 1 Kings 22 2 Kings 25 1 Chronicles 29 2 Chronicles 36 Ezra 10 Nehemiah 13 Esther 10 Books of Wisdom ( or `` Poetry '' ) 243 Job 42 Psalms 150 Proverbs 31 Ecclesiastes 12 Song of Solomon 8 Major Prophets 183 Isaiah 66 Jeremiah 52 Lamentations 5 Ezekiel 48 Daniel 12 Minor Prophets 67 Hosea 14 Joel Amos 9 Obadiah Jonah Micah 7 Nahum Habakkuk Zephaniah Haggai Zechariah 14 Malachi New Testament - 260 chapters Book / Division Chapters Gospels 89 Matthew 28 Mark 16 Luke 24 John 21 History 28 Acts 28 Pauline Epistles 87 Romans 16 1 Corinthians 16 2 Corinthians 13 Galatians 6 Ephesians 6 Philippians Colossians 1 Thessalonians 5 2 Thessalonians 1 Timothy 6 2 Timothy Titus Philemon General Epistles 34 Hebrews 13 James 5 1 Peter 5 2 Peter 1 John 5 2 John 3 John Jude Apocalyptic Writings ( Prophecy ) 22 Revelation 22 Verses ( edit ) There are 23,145 verses in the Old Testament and 7,957 verses in the New Testament . This gives a total of 31,102 verses , which is an average of a little more than 26 verses per chapter . Contrary to popular belief , Psalm 118 does not contain the middle verse of the Bible . The King James Version has an even number of verses ( 31,102 ) , with the two middle verses being Psalm 103 : 1 -- 2 . John 11 : 35 ( `` Jesus wept '' ) is the shortest verse in most English translations . Some translations -- including the New International Version , New Living Translation , New Life Version , Holman Christian Standard Bible and New International Reader 's Version -- render Job 3 : 2 as `` He said '' . However , that is a translators ' condensation of the Hebrew which literally translated is : `` And Job answered and said . '' The shortest verse in the Greek New Testament is Luke 20 : 30 ( `` και ο δευτερος '' , `` And the second '' ) with twelve letters , according to the Westcott and Hort text . In the Textus Receptus , the shortest verse is 1 Thessalonians 5 : 16 ( `` παντοτε χαιρετε '' , `` Rejoice always '' ) with fourteen letters , since Stephanus ' rendering of Luke 20 : 30 includes some additional words . Isaiah 10 : 8 ( `` Dicet enim '' ) is the shortest verse in the Latin Vulgate . Esther 8 : 9 is the longest verse in the Masoretic Text . The discovery of several manuscripts at Qumran ( in the Dead Sea Scrolls ) has reopened what is considered the most original text of 1 Samuel 11 ; if one believes that those manuscripts better preserve the text , several verses in 1 Samuel 11 surpass Esther 8 : 9 in length .

The event later became known as `` The Day the Music Died '' , after singer - songwriter Don McLean referred to it as such in his 1971 song `` American Pie '' . At the time , Holly and his band , consisting of Waylon Jennings , Tommy Allsup , and Carl Bunch , were playing on the `` Winter Dance Party '' tour across the Midwest . Rising artists Valens , Richardson and Dion and the Belmonts had joined the tour as well . The long journeys between venues on board the cold , uncomfortable tour buses adversely affected the performers , with cases of flu and even frostbite . After stopping at Clear Lake to perform , and frustrated by such conditions , Holly chose to charter a plane to reach their next venue in Moorhead , Minnesota . Richardson , who had the flu , swapped places with Jennings , taking his seat on the plane , while Allsup lost his seat to Valens on a coin toss . Soon after takeoff , late at night and in poor , wintry weather conditions , the pilot lost control of the light aircraft , a Beechcraft Bonanza , which subsequently crashed into a cornfield . Everyone on board was killed . The event has since been mentioned in various songs and films . A number of monuments have been erected at the crash site and in Clear Lake , where an annual memorial concert is also held at the Surf Ballroom , the venue that hosted the artists ' last performance .

For the start of the `` Winter Dance Party '' tour , he assembled a band consisting of Waylon Jennings ( bass ) , Tommy Allsup ( guitar ) , and Carl Bunch ( drums ) , with the opening vocals of Frankie Sardo . The tour was set to cover twenty - four Midwestern cities in as many days . New hit artist Ritchie Valens , J.P. `` The Big Bopper '' Richardson and Dion DiMucci and his band The Belmonts joined the tour to promote their recordings and make an extra profit . Winter Dance Party Tour schedule , 1959 The tour began in Milwaukee , Wisconsin , on January 23 , 1959 . The amount of travel soon became a logistical problem . The distances between venues had not been properly considered when the performances were scheduled ; instead of `` circling '' around the Midwest to each town , the tour zig - zagged with distances between cities over 400 miles . General Artists Corporation , the organization that booked the tour , later received considerable criticism for their seemingly total disregard for the conditions they forced the touring musicians to endure : `` They did n't care . It was like they threw darts at a map ... The tour from hell -- that 's what they named it -- and it 's not a bad name . '' Buddy Holly historian Bill Griggs '' The entire company of musicians traveled together in one bus , although the buses used for the tour were wholly inadequate , breaking down and being replaced with astounding frequency . Griggs estimates that five separate buses were used in the first eleven days of the tour -- `` reconditioned school buses , not good enough for school kids . '' The artists themselves were responsible for loading and unloading equipment at each stop , as no road crew assisted them . Adding to the disarray , the buses were not equipped for the weather which consisted of waist - deep snow in several areas and varying temperatures from the 20s to as low as − 36 ° F. One bus had a heating system that broke down shortly after the tour began , in Appleton , Wisconsin . Later , Richardson and Valens began experiencing flu - like symptoms and drummer Bunch was hospitalized for severely frostbitten feet , after the tour bus simply broke down in the middle of the highway in subzero temperatures near Ironwood , Michigan . The musicians replaced that bus with another school bus and kept traveling . After Bunch was hospitalized , Carlo Mastrangelo of The Belmonts took over the drumming duties . When Dion and The Belmonts were performing , the drum seat was taken by either Valens or Holly . As Holly 's group had been the backing band for all of the acts , Holly , Valens , and DiMucci took turns playing drums for each other at the performances in Green Bay , Wisconsin , and Clear Lake , Iowa . On Monday , February 2 , the tour arrived in Clear Lake , having driven 350 miles from the previous day 's concert in Green Bay . The town had not been a scheduled stop , but the tour promoters , hoping to fill an open date , called the manager of the local Surf Ballroom , Carroll Anderson ( 1920 -- 2006 ) , and offered him the show . He accepted , and they set the show for that night . By the time Holly arrived at the venue that evening , he was frustrated with the ongoing problems with the bus . The next scheduled destination after Clear Lake was Moorhead , Minnesota , a 365 - mile drive north and northwest ( and , reflecting the poor planning , a journey that would take them directly back through two towns they had already played within the last week . ) No let up after that was in sight , as the following day , they were scheduled to travel back almost directly south to Sioux City , Iowa , a 325 - mile trip . Holly decided to charter a plane to take himself and his band to Fargo , North Dakota , which is adjacent to Moorhead . The rest of the party would have picked him up in Moorhead , saving him the journey in the bus and leaving him time to get some rest . Flight arrangements ( edit ) A V - tailed Bonanza similar to N3794N , the accident aircraft Anderson called Hubert Jerry Dwyer ( 1930 -- 2016 ) , owner of the Dwyer Flying Service , a company in Mason City , to charter the plane to fly to Hector Airport in Fargo , the closest one to Moorhead . Flight arrangements were made with Roger Peterson , a 21 - year - old local pilot described as a `` young married man who built his life around flying '' . The flying service charged a fee of $36 per passenger for the flight on the 1947 single - engined , V - tailed Beechcraft 35 Bonanza ( registration N3794N ) , which could seat three passengers plus the pilot . A popular misconception , originating from Don McLean 's eponymous song about the crash , was that the plane was called American Pie . In fact , no record exists of any name ever having been given to N3794N . The most widely accepted version of events was that Richardson had contracted flu during the tour and asked Jennings for his seat on the plane . When Holly learned that Jennings was not going to fly , he said in jest : `` Well , I hope your ol ' bus freezes up . '' Jennings responded : `` Well , I hope your ol ' plane crashes '' , a humorous but ill - fated response that haunted him for the rest of his life . Valens , who once had a fear of flying , asked Allsup for his seat on the plane . The two agreed to toss a coin to decide . Bob Hale , a disc jockey with Mason City 's KRIB - AM , was working the concert that night and flipped the coin in the ballroom 's side - stage room shortly before the musicians departed for the airport . Valens won the coin toss for the seat on the flight . In contradiction to the testimony of Allsup and Jennings , Dion has since said that Holly approached him along with Valens and Richardson to join the flight , not Holly 's bandmates . In a 2009 interview , Dion claimed that Holly called him , Valens , and Richardson into a vacant dressing room during Sardo 's performance and said `` I 've chartered a plane , we 're the guys making the money ( we should be the ones flying ahead ) ... the only problem is there are only two available seats . '' According to Dion , it was Valens , not Richardson , who had fallen ill , so Valens and Dion flipped a coin for the seat . In his interview , no mention is made of Jennings or Allsup being invited on the plane . Dion claims that he won the toss , but ultimately decided that since the $36 fare ( equivalent to US $300 in today 's money ) equaled the monthly rent his parents paid for his childhood apartment , he could not justify the indulgence . Take - off and crash ( edit ) After the show ended , Anderson drove Holly , Valens , and Richardson to the Mason City Municipal Airport . The weather at the time of departure was reported as light snow , a ceiling of 3,000 feet ( 910 m ) AMSL with sky obscured , visibility 6 miles ( 9,700 m ) , and winds from 20 to 30 mph ( 32 to 48 km / h ) . Although deteriorating weather was reported along the planned route , the weather briefings Peterson received failed to relay the information . Mason City and Clear Lake , Iowa The plane took off normally from runway 17 ( today 's runway 18 ) at 12 : 55 am Central Time on Tuesday , February 3 . Dwyer witnessed the take - off from a platform outside the control tower . He was able to see clearly the aircraft 's tail light for most of the brief flight , which started with an initial left turn onto a northwesterly heading and a climb to 800 ft . The tail light was then observed gradually descending until it disappeared out of view . Around 1 : 00 am , when Peterson failed to make the expected radio contact , repeated attempts to establish communication were made , at Dwyer 's request , by the radio operator , but they were all unsuccessful . Later that morning , Dwyer , having heard no word from Peterson since his departure , took off in another airplane to retrace his planned route . Within minutes , at around 9 : 35 am , he spotted the wreckage less than 6 mi ( 9.7 km ) northwest of the airport . The sheriff 's office , alerted by Dwyer , dispatched Deputy Bill McGill , who drove to the crash site , a cornfield belonging to Albert Juhl . The Bonanza had impacted terrain at high speed , estimated to have been around 170 mph ( 270 km / h ) , banked steeply to the right and in a nose - down attitude . The right wing tip had struck the ground first , sending the aircraft cartwheeling across the frozen field for 540 feet ( 160 m ) , before coming to rest against a wire fence at the edge of Juhl 's property . The bodies of Holly and Valens had been ejected from the torn fuselage and lay near the plane 's wreckage . Richardson 's body had been thrown over the fence and into the cornfield of Juhl 's neighbor Oscar Moffett , while Peterson 's body was entangled in the wreckage . With the rest of the entourage en route to Minnesota , Anderson , who had driven the party to the airport and witnessed the plane 's takeoff , had to identify the bodies of the musicians . County coroner Ralph Smiley certified that all four victims died instantly , citing the cause of death as `` gross trauma to brain '' for the three artists and `` brain damage '' for the pilot . Aftermath ( edit ) Holly 's pregnant wife , María Elena , learned of his death from the reports on television . A widow after only six months of marriage , she suffered a miscarriage shortly after , reportedly due to `` psychological trauma '' . Holly 's mother , on hearing the news on the radio at home in Lubbock , Texas , screamed and collapsed . Holly 's widow did not attend the funeral and has never visited the gravesite . She later said in an interview : `` In a way , I blame myself . I was not feeling well when he left . I was two weeks pregnant , and I wanted Buddy to stay with me , but he had scheduled that tour . It was the only time I was n't with him . And I blame myself because I know that , if only I had gone along , Buddy never would have gotten into that airplane . '' The `` Winter Dance Party '' tour did not stop ; Jennings and Allsup continued performing for two more weeks , with Jennings taking Holly 's place as lead singer . Meanwhile , the funerals of the victims were being held individually ; Holly and Richardson were buried in Texas , Valens in California , and Peterson in Iowa . Official investigation ( edit ) The wreckage of N3794N as found by the authorities on the morning of the accident The official investigation was carried out by the Civil Aeronautics Board ( CAB , precursor to the NTSB ) . It emerged that Peterson had over four years of flying experience , of which one was with Dwyer Flying Service , and had accumulated 711 flying hours , of which 128 were on Bonanzas . He had also logged 52 hours of instrument flight training , although he had passed only his written examination , and was not yet qualified to operate in weather that required flying solely by reference to instruments . He and Dwyer Flying Service itself were certified to operate only under visual flight rules , which essentially require that the pilot must be able to see where he is going . However , on the night of the accident , visual flight would have been virtually impossible due to the low clouds , the lack of a visible horizon , and the absence of ground lights over the sparsely populated area . Furthermore , Peterson , who had failed an instrument checkride nine months before the accident , had received his instrument training on airplanes equipped with a conventional artificial horizon as a source of aircraft attitude information , while N3794N was equipped with an older - type Sperry F3 attitude gyroscope . Crucially , the two types of instruments display the same aircraft pitch attitude information in graphically opposite ways . The CAB concluded that the accident was due to `` the pilot 's unwise decision to embark on a flight '' that required instrument flying skills he had not proved to have . A contributing factor was Peterson 's unfamiliarity with the old - style attitude gyroscope fitted on board the aircraft , which may have caused him to believe that he was climbing when he was in fact descending ( an example of spatial disorientation ) . Another contributing factor was the `` seriously inadequate '' weather briefing provided to Peterson , which `` failed to even mention adverse flying condition which should have been highlighted '' . Subsequent investigations ( edit ) On March 6 , 2007 , in Beaumont , Texas , Richardson 's body was exhumed for reburial in a more fitting part of the local Forest Lawn cemetery . The musician 's son , Jay Perry , took the opportunity to have his father 's body re-examined to verify the original findings , and asked forensic anthropologist William M. Bass to carry out the procedure . Among the rumors surrounding the accident that this second examination sought to verify was that an accidental firearm discharge took place on board the aircraft and caused the crash , since two months after the event , a farmer had found at the crash site a . 22 ( 5.6 mm ) pistol known to have belonged to Holly . Another rumor had Richardson surviving the initial impact and crawling out of the aircraft in search for help , prompted by the fact that his body was found farther from the wreckage than the other three . Bass and his team took several X-rays of Richardson 's body and eventually concluded that the musician had indeed died instantly from extensive , non-survivable fractures to almost all of his bones ; no traces of lead were found from any bullet . Coroner Smiley 's original report was , therefore , confirmed . In March 2015 , the National Transportation Safety Board ( NTSB ) received a request to reopen the investigation into the accident . The request was made by L.J. Coon , a retired pilot from New England who felt that the conclusion of the 1959 investigation was inaccurate . Coon suspected a possible failure of the right ruddervator , or a problem with the fuel system , as well as a possible improper weight distribution . Coon also argued that Peterson may have tried to land the plane and that his efforts should be recognized . In April 2015 , the NTSB declined the request , citing that the evidence presented by Coon was insufficient to merit the reconsideration of the original findings . Legacy ( edit ) Notification of victims ' families ( edit ) Following the miscarriage suffered by Holly 's wife and the circumstances in which she was informed of his death , a policy was later adopted by authorities not to disclose victims ' names until after their families have been informed . Memorials ( edit ) A memorial service for Peterson was held at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Ventura , Iowa , on February 5 . A funeral was held the next day at St. Paul Lutheran Church in his hometown of Alta ; Peterson was buried in Buena Vista Memorial Cemetery in nearby Storm Lake . His grave site is located at coordinates N 42 39.189 W 095 13.996 . Peterson 's parents later received condolence letters from the families of Holly and Valens . Films ( edit ) The accident is mentioned in the biographical film The Buddy Holly Story ( 1978 ) . The accident is also depicted in the Ritchie Valens biopic La Bamba ( 1987 ) . Memorial concerts ( edit ) Fans of Holly , Valens , and Richardson have been gathering for annual memorial concerts at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake since 1979 . The 50th - anniversary concert took place on February 2 , 2009 , with Delbert McClinton , Joe Ely , Wanda Jackson , Los Lobos , Los Lonely Boys , Chris Montez , Bobby Vee , Graham Nash , Peter and Gordon , Tommy Allsup , and a house band featuring Chuck Leavell , James `` Hutch '' Hutchinson , Bobby Keys , and Kenny Aronoff . Jay P. Richardson , the son of the Big Bopper , was among the participating artists , and Bob Hale was the master of ceremonies , as he was at the 1959 concert . Monuments ( edit ) Signpost near the Clear Lake crash site In June 1988 , a four - foot - tall granite memorial bearing the names of Peterson and the three entertainers was dedicated outside the Surf Ballroom with Peterson 's widow , parents , and sister in attendance ; the event marked the first time that the families of Holly , Richardson , Valens , and Peterson had gathered together . In 1989 , Ken Paquette , a Wisconsin fan of the 1950s era , made a stainless - steel monument that depicts a guitar and a set of three records bearing the names of the three performers killed in the accident . The monument is on private farmland , about ⁄ mi ( 0.40 km ) west of the intersection of 315th Street and Gull Avenue , 5 mi ( 8.0 km ) north of Clear Lake . Paquette also created a similar stainless - steel monument to the three musicians located outside the Riverside Ballroom in Green Bay , Wisconsin , where Holly , Richardson , and Valens played their second - to - last show on the night of February 1 , 1959 . This second memorial was unveiled on July 17 , 2003 . In February 2009 , a further memorial made by Paquette for Peterson was unveiled at the crash site . A large plasma - cut steel set of Wayfarer - style glasses , constructed by Michael Connor of Clear Lake , similar to those Holly wore , sits at the access point to the crash site . Roads ( edit ) A road originating near the Surf Ballroom , extending north and passing to the west of the crash site , is now known as Buddy Holly Place . Songs ( edit ) `` American Pie '' The song `` American Pie '' dubbed the accident `` The Day The Music Died '' Problems playing this file ? See media help . `` Three Stars '' ( 1959 ) by Tommy Dee is the first song to commemorate the musicians . Don McLean later addressed the accident in his song `` American Pie '' ( 1971 ) , dubbing it `` the Day the Music Died '' , which for McLean symbolized the `` loss of innocence '' of the early rock - and - roll generation .

who lost the coin toss in la bamba
[ "At the time, Holly and his band, consisting of Waylon Jennings, Tommy Allsup, and Carl Bunch, were playing on the \"Winter Dance Party\" tour across the Midwest. Rising artists Valens, Richardson and Dion and the Belmonts had joined the tour as well. The long journeys between venues on board the cold, uncomfortable tour buses adversely affected the performers, with cases of flu and even frostbite. After stopping at Clear Lake to perform, and frustrated by such conditions, Holly chose to charter a plane to reach their next venue in Moorhead, Minnesota. Richardson, who had the flu, swapped places with Jennings, taking his seat on the plane, while Allsup lost his seat to Valens on a coin toss. \n" ]

Production ( edit ) Filming ( edit ) The series was shot with an Arri Alexa digital camera . Jean - Marc Vallée , who directed the entirety of the first season , preferred using natural lighting and handheld shooting style to allow actors to move freely around the set . Development ( edit ) The series was initially conceived of and billed as a miniseries of seven episodes . In the wake of the Emmy nominations , Reese Witherspoon said : `` As of right now , I think it 's pretty whole . I feel really good about where it is , and if this is all it ever was , it 's a beautiful thing we all accomplished together '' , while Vallée came out strongly against the idea of producing a second season : `` There 's no reason to make a season two . That was meant to be a one - time deal , and it 's finishing in a way where it 's for the audience to imagine what can happen . If we do a season two , we 'll break that beautiful thing and spoil it '' . Later , when the show garnered an array of critical accolades , he changed his mind : `` It 'd be great to reunite the team and to do it . Are we going to be able to do it , altogether ? I wish . '' In July 2017 , two weeks after the series was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Limited Series , HBO revealed that a second season was possible , and that Moriarty had been asked to write a story for it . In December 2017 , after the Critics ' Choice Television Award and Golden Globe Award nomination voting periods were over , HBO officially renewed the series for a seven - episode second season to be written by David E. Kelley and directed by Andrea Arnold . Vallée will remain an executive producer of the series . The announcement of the second season , and -- specifically -- its timing , enraged the producers of rival shows that are competing for award nomination in the limited series category . Immediately following HBO 's decision to produce a second installment of Big Little Lies , the Producers Guild of America moved to reclassify the original installment of the show from a limited series to a drama series for the upcoming 2018 PGA Awards . Broadcast ( edit ) Internationally , the series premiered on February 20 , 2017 , in Australia on Showcase , and on March 13 , 2017 , in the UK and Ireland on Sky Atlantic . Reception ( edit ) Critical response ( edit ) Big Little Lies received critical acclaim . Review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 92 % approval rating from a total of 94 reviews , with an average rating of 7.99 / 10 and an average episode score of 97 % . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` Bitingly funny and highly addictive , Big Little Lies is a twisty , thrilling , enlightening ride led by a first - rate cast . '' Metacritic reported a score of 75 out of 100 , based on 42 critics , indicating `` generally favorable reviews '' .

FIFA World Cup hosts
FIFA World Cup hosts - wikipedia FIFA World Cup hosts Logo of FIFA Map of FIFA World Cup final hosts , 1930 -- 2018 . Dark green : twice ; middle green : once ; light green : planned until 2022 Seventeen countries have been FIFA World Cup hosts in the competition 's twenty tournaments since the inaugural World Cup in 1930 . The organization at first awarded hosting to countries at meetings of FIFA 's congress . The choice of location was controversial in the earliest tournaments , given the three - week boat journey between South America and Europe , the two centers of strength in football at the time . The decision to hold the first cup in Uruguay , for example , led to only four European nations competing . The next two World Cups were both held in Europe . The decision to hold the second of these , the 1938 FIFA World Cup , in France was controversial , as the South American countries had been led to understand that the World Cup would rotate between the two continents . Both Argentina and Uruguay thus boycotted the tournament . The first tournament following World War II , held in Brazil in 1950 , had three teams withdraw for either financial problems or disagreements with the organization . To avoid any future boycotts or controversy , FIFA began a pattern of alternation between the Americas and Europe , which continued until the 2002 FIFA World Cup in Asia . The system evolved so that the host country is now chosen in a vote by FIFA 's Congress . This is done under an exhaustive ballot system . The decision is currently made roughly seven years in advance of the tournament , though the hosts for the 2022 tournament were chosen at the same time as those for the 2018 tournament . Only Mexico , Italy , France , Germany ( West Germany until shortly after the 1990 World Cup ) and Brazil have hosted the event on two occasions . Mexico City 's Estadio Azteca and Rio de Janeiro 's Maracanã are the only venues ever to have hosted two FIFA World Cup finals . Only the 2002 FIFA World Cup had more than one host , being split between Japan and South Korea . Upon the selection of Canada -- Mexico -- United States bid for the 2026 FIFA World Cup , the tournament will be the first to be hosted by more than two countries . Mexico becomes the first country to host three men 's World Cups and its Estadio Azteca , should it be selected , will become the first stadium to stage three World Cup tournaments .

A joint bid was formed between Japan and South Korea , and the bid was `` voted by acclamation '' , an oral vote without ballots . The first joint bid of the World Cup was approved , edging out Mexico . Results : South Korea / Japan ( joint bid , voted by acclamation ) Mexico The 2002 FIFA World Cup was co-hosted in Asia for the first time by South Korea and Japan ( the final was held in Japan ) . Initially , the two Asian countries were competitors in the bidding process . But just before the vote , they agreed with FIFA to co-host the event . However , the rivalry and distance between them led to organizational and logistical problems . FIFA has said that co-hosting is not likely to happen again , and in 2004 officially stated that its statutes did not allow co-hosting bids . 2006 FIFA World Cup ( edit ) Main article : 2006 FIFA World Cup Further information : List of 2006 FIFA World Cup controversies Bids : Brazil England Germany Morocco South Africa On 6 July 2000 , the host selection meeting was held for the sixth straight time in Zürich . Brazil withdrew its bid three days before the vote , and the field was narrowed to four . This was the first selection in which more than one vote round was required . Three votes were eventually needed . Germany was at least tied for first in each of the three votes , and ended up defeating South Africa by only one vote after an abstention ( see below ) . Results Nation Vote Round 1 Round 2 Round 3 Germany 10 11 12 South Africa 6 11 11 England 5 Eliminated Morocco Eliminated Eliminated Total votes 23 24 23 Controversy ( edit ) The controversy over the decision to award the 2006 FIFA World Cup to Germany led to a further change in practice . The final tally was 12 votes to 11 in favour of Germany over the contenders South Africa , who had been favorites to win . New Zealand FIFA member Charlie Dempsey , who was instructed to vote for South Africa by the Oceania Football Confederation , abstained from voting at the last minute . If he had voted for the South African bid , the tally would have been 12 -- 12 , giving the decision to FIFA President Sepp Blatter , who , it was widely believed , would then have voted for South Africa . Dempsey was among eight members of the Executive Committee to receive a fax by editors of the German satirical magazine Titanic on Wednesday , the night before the vote , promising a cuckoo clock and Black Forest ham in exchange for voting for Germany . He argued that the pressure from all sides including `` an attempt to bribe '' him had become too much for him . On 4 August 2000 , consequently , FIFA decided to rotate the hosting of the final tournaments between its constituent confederations . This was until October 2007 , during the selection of the host for the 2014 FIFA World Cup , when they announced that they will no longer continue with their continental rotation policy ( see below ) . 2010 FIFA World Cup ( edit ) Main article : 2010 FIFA World Cup Further information : List of 2010 FIFA World Cup controversies Bids : Egypt Morocco Nigeria South Africa Tunisia / Libya The first World Cup bidding process under continental rotation ( the process of rotating hosting of the World Cup to each confederation in turn ) was the 2010 FIFA World Cup , the first World Cup to be held in Africa . On 7 July 2001 , during the FIFA Congress in Buenos Aires , a decision was ratified , which was that the rotation will begin in Africa . On 23 September 2002 , FIFA 's Executive Committee confirmed that only African member associations , would be invited to submit bids to host the 2010 FIFA World Cup . In January 2003 , Nigeria entered the bidding process , but withdrew their bid in September . In March 2003 , Sepp Blatter initially said Nigeria 's plan to co host the 2010 FIFA World Cup with four African countries would not work . Nigeria had originally hoped to bid jointly with West African neighbours Benin , Ghana , and Togo . After it was confirmed by FIFA that joint bidding would not be allowed in the future , Libya and Tunisia withdrew both of their bids on 8 May 2004 . On 15 May 2004 in Zürich ( the seventh consecutive time that a host selection has been made there ) , South Africa , after a narrow loss in the 2006 bidding , defeated perennial candidate Morocco to host , 14 votes to 10 . Egypt received no votes . Results Nation Vote Round 1 South Africa 14 Morocco 10 Egypt 0 Tunisia / Libya Withdrew Nigeria Withdrew Total votes 24 Controversy ( edit ) On 28 May 2015 , media covering the 2015 FIFA corruption case reported that high - ranking officials from the South African bid committee had secured the right to host the World Cup by paying US $10 million in bribes to then - FIFA Vice President Jack Warner and to other FIFA Executive Committee members . On 4 June 2015 , FIFA executive Chuck Blazer , having co-operated with the FBI and the Swiss authorities , confirmed that he and the other members of FIFA 's executive committee were bribed in order to promote the South African 1998 and 2010 World Cups . Blazer stated , `` I and others on the FIFA executive committee agreed to accept bribes in conjunction with the selection of South Africa as the host nation for the 2010 World Cup . '' On 6 June 2015 , The Daily Telegraph reported that Morocco had received the most votes , but South Africa was awarded the tournament instead . 2014 FIFA World Cup ( edit ) Main articles : 2014 FIFA World Cup bids and 2014 FIFA World Cup Further information : List of 2014 FIFA World Cup controversies Bids : Argentina Brazil Colombia FIFA continued its continental rotation procedure by earmarking the 2014 World Cup for South America . FIFA initially indicated that it might back out of the rotation concept , but later decided to continue it through the 2014 host decision , after which it was dropped . Colombia had expressed interest in hosting the 2014 World Cup , but withdrew undertaking the 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup . Brazil also expressed interest in hosting the World Cup . CONMEBOL , the South American Football Federation , indicated their preference for Brazil as a host . Brazil was the only nation to submit a formal bid when the official bidding procedure for CONMEBOL member associations was opened in December 2006 , as by that time , Colombia , Chile and Argentina had already withdrawn , and Venezuela was not allowed to bid . Brazil made the first unopposed bid since the initial selection of the 1986 FIFA World Cup ( when Colombia was selected as host , but later withdrew for financial problems ) . The FIFA Executive Committee confirmed it as the host country on 30 October 2007 by a unanimous decision .

The newest host selection policy is that any country may bid for a World Cup , provided that their continental confederation has not hosted either of the past two World Cups . For the 2018 World Cup bidding process , this meant that bids from Africa and South America were not allowed . For the 2022 World Cup bidding process , this meant that bids from South America and Europe were not allowed . Also , FIFA formally allowed joint bids once more ( after they were banned in 2002 ) , because there was only one organizing committee per joint bid , unlike Korea -- Japan , which had two different organizing committees . Countries that announced their interest included Australia , England , Indonesia , Japan , Qatar , Russia , South Korea , United States , the joint bid of Spain and Portugal and the joint bid of Belgium and Netherlands . The hosts for both World Cups were announced by the FIFA Executive Committee on 2 December 2010 . Russia was selected to host the 2018 FIFA World Cup , making it the first time that the World Cup will be hosted in Eastern Europe and making it the biggest country geographically to host the World Cup . Qatar was selected to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup , making it the first time a World Cup will be held in the Arab World and the second time in Asia since the 2002 tournament in South Korea and Japan . Also , the decision made it the smallest country geographically to host the World Cup . 2018 Results Nation Vote Round 1 Round 2 Russia 9 13 Spain / Portugal 7 7 Netherlands / Belgium England Eliminated Total votes 22 22 2022 results Nation Vote Round 1 Round 2 Round 3 Round 4 Qatar 11 10 11 14 United States 5 6 8 South Korea 5 5 Eliminated Japan Eliminated Eliminated Australia Eliminated Eliminated Eliminated Total votes 22 22 22 22 2026 FIFA World Cup ( edit ) Main articles : 2026 FIFA World Cup bids and 2026 FIFA World Cup Bids : Canada / Mexico / USA Morocco Under FIFA rules as of 2016 , the 2026 Cup could not be in either Europe ( UEFA ) or Asia ( AFC ) , leaving an African ( CAF ) bid , a North American ( CONCACAF ) bid , a South American ( CONMEBOL ) bid or an Oceanian ( OFC ) bid as other possible options . In March 2017 , FIFA 's president Gianni Infantino confirmed that `` Europe ( UEFA ) and Asia ( AFC ) had been excluded from the bidding following the selection of Russia and Qatar in 2018 and 2022 respectively . '' The bidding process was originally scheduled to start in 2015 , with the appointment of hosts scheduled for the FIFA Congress on 10 May 2017 in Kuala Lumpur , Malaysia . On 10 June 2015 , FIFA announced that the bid process for the 2026 FIFA World Cup was postponed . However , following the FIFA Council meeting on 10 May 2016 , a new bid schedule was announced for May 2020 as the last in a four - phase process . On 14 October 2016 , FIFA said it would accept a tournament - sharing bid by CONCACAF members Canada , Mexico and the United States . On 10 April 2017 , Canada , the United States , and Mexico announced their intention to submit a joint bid to co-host , with three - quarters of the games to be played in the U.S. , including the final . On 11 August 2017 , Morocco officially announced a bid to host . Therefore , the official 2026 FIFA World Cup bids were from two football confederations . The first one was from CONCACAF , which was triple bid by Canada , United States and Mexico , and the second one was from CAF with a bid by Morocco . The host was announced on 13 June 2018 at the 68th FIFA Congress in Moscow , Russia . The United Bid from Canada , Mexico and the United States was selected over the Morocco bid by 134 votes to 65 with 1 selecting neither and 3 abstentions . This will be the first World Cup to be hosted by more than two countries . Mexico becomes the first country to host three men 's World Cups and its Estadio Azteca , should selected , will become the first stadium to stage three World Cup tournaments . On the other hand , Canada becomes the fifth country to host both the men 's and women 's World Cups , after Sweden ( Men 's : 1958 / Women 's : 1995 ) , United States ( Men 's : 1994 / Women 's : 1999 , 2003 ) , Germany ( Men 's : 1974 , 2006 / Women 's : 2011 ) , and France ( Men 's : 1934 , 1998 / Women 's : 2019 ) . The United States becomes the first country to host both men 's and women 's World Cup twice each . 2026 Results Nation Vote Round 1 Canada / Mexico / United States 134 Morocco 65 None of the Bids Total votes 200 2030 FIFA World Cup ( edit ) Main article : 2030 FIFA World Cup Two early bids for the 2030 FIFA World Cup - the Centennial World Cup - have been proposed . The first bid has been proposed as a collective bid by the members of the Argentine Football Association and Uruguayan Football Association into a proposed joint bid from Uruguay and Argentina . The second bid has been a proposed bid by The Football Association of England . Under FIFA rules as of 2017 , the 2030 World Cup can not be held in Asia ( AFC ) because the Asian Football Confederation is excluded from the bidding following the selection of Qatar in 2022 . Also in June 2017 , UEFA 's president Aleksander Čeferin stated that Europe ( UEFA ) will definitely fight for its right to host the 2030 World Cup . The Uruguay -- Argentina bid would coincide with the centennial anniversary of the first FIFA World Cup final , and the bicentennial of the first Constitution of Uruguay . The Uruguay - Argentina bid was officially confirmed on 29 July 2017 . A joint bid was announced by the Argentine Football Association and the Uruguayan Football Association on 29 July 2017 . Before Uruguay and Argentina played out a goalless draw in Montevideo , FC Barcelona players Luis Suárez and Lionel Messi promoted the bid with commemorative shirts . On 31 August 2017 , it was suggested Paraguay would join as a third host . CONMEBOL , the South American confederation , confirmed the joint three - way bid in September 2017 . English FA vice chairman David Gill has proposed that his country could bid for 2030 , provided the bidding process is made more transparent . `` England is one of few countries that could stage even a 48 - nation event in its entirety , while Football Association chief executive Martin Glenn made it clear earlier this year bidding for 2030 was an option . '' In June 2017 , UEFA stated that `` it would support a pan-British bid for 2030 or even a single bid from England . '' Moreover , a possible English bid for 2030 was also backed by the German Football Association . On 17 June 2018 , the Royal Moroccan Football Federation announced its co-bidding for the 2030 World Cup . There are two possible joint bids one with the Tunisia and the Algeria or the other with two UEFA members Spain and Portugal . On 17 June 2018 , the English Football Association announced that they are in talks with home nations over a UK - wide bid to host 2030 World Cup . On 10 July 2018 , Egypt 's Sports Minister expressed interest in bidding to host . The original bid logo for the Uruguay - Argentina World Cup Bid .

The idea of a combined ASEAN bid had been mooted as early as January 2011 , when the Football Association of Singapore 's then - President , Zainudin Nordin , said in a statement that the proposal had been made at an ASEAN Foreign Ministers meeting . In 2013 , Nordin and Special Olympics Malaysia President , Datuk Mohamed Feisol Hassan , recalled the idea for ASEAN to jointly host a World Cup . Under FIFA rules as of 2017 , the 2030 World Cup can not be held in Asia ( AFC ) as Asian Football Confederation members are excluded from the bidding following the selection of Qatar in 2022 . Therefore , the earliest bid by an AFC member could be made for 2034 . Later , Malaysia has withdrawn from involvement but Singapore and other ASEAN countries continued the campaign to submit a joint bid for the World Cup in 2034 . In February 2017 , ASEAN held talks on launching a joint bid during a visit by FIFA chief Gianni Infantino to Yangon , Myanmar . In July 2017 , Joko Driyono , the Vice-President of Indonesia 's Football Association , during the meeting in Vietnam said that Indonesia and Thailand were set to lead a consortium of South - East Asian nations in the bid . Driyono added that , for geographic and infrastructure considerations and the expanded format ( 48 teams ) , at least two or three ASEAN countries combined would be in a position necessary to host matches . In September 2017 , the Football Association of Thailand 's Deputy CEO , Benjamin Tan , at the ASEAN Football Federation ( AFF ) Council meeting , confirmed that his Association has `` put in their interest to bid and co-host '' the 2034 World Cup with Indonesia . On the same occasion , the General Secretary of the AFF , Dato Sri Azzuddin Ahmad , confirmed that Indonesia and Thailand will submit a joint bid . Indonesia is the only Southeast Asian country to have participated in the World Cup ; its national team was the first from Asia to do so and it became one of the fewest World Cup teams to qualify without playing a match because of opponents ' withdrawals . The 1938 World Cup is the Indonesians ' only appearance to date when they were known as the Dutch East Indies . A loss to Hungary made Indonesia the only national team in World Cup history to have played a single match . Far from ever hosting the World Cup , no other Southeast Asian country has ever played at the tournament . As of June 2018 , Indonesia is ranked by FIFA at 164th place . China has announced its interest in bidding several times and reports stated `` that China is likely to host the World Cup for the first time in 2034 . '' Egypt is considering the possibility of bidding to host the 2034 FIFA World Cup the country 's Sports and Youth Minister Ashraf Sobhy said on Tuesday . Expressed interest in bidding : AFC : Indonesia and Thailand China CAF : Zimbabwe Egypt Total bids by country ( edit ) World Cup - winning bids are bolded .

Host country performances ( edit ) Further information : National team appearances in the FIFA World Cup It is widely considered that home advantage is common in the World Cup , with the host team usually performing above average . Of the eight countries that have won the tournament , only Brazil and Spain have not been champions while hosting , and England has their only title as hosts . Further , Sweden got to its only final as hosts of the 1958 tournament , and only the Swedes and Brazilians finished as runner - up in home soil . The host country reached the semi-finals thirteen times in twenty tournaments , and both Chile and South Korea had their only finishes on the top four at home . Only South Africa in 2010 managed to not go past the group stage . # Performance Team Year Pld Win % GF GA GD GD / M GF / M Champion Uruguay 1930 0 0 100 % 15 12 3.8 Champion France 1998 7 6 0 93 % 15 13 1.9 2.1 Champion England 1966 6 5 0 92 % 11 8 1.3 1.8 Champion Italy 1934 5 0 90 % 12 9 1.8 2.4 5 Champion West Germany 7 6 0 86 % 13 9 1.3 1.9 6 Champion Argentina 1978 7 5 79 % 15 9 1.3 2.1 7 Runner - up Brazil 1950 6 75 % 22 6 16 2.7 3.7 8 Runner - up Sweden 1958 6 75 % 12 7 5 0.8 9 Third place Italy 1990 7 6 0 93 % 10 8 1.1 1.4 10 Third place Germany 2006 7 5 79 % 14 6 8 1.1 11 Third place Chile 1962 6 0 67 % 10 8 0.33 1.3 12 Fourth place South Korea 2002 7 57 % 8 6 0.3 1.1 13 Fourth place Brazil 2014 7 57 % 11 14 − 3 − 0.4 1.57 14 Quarter - final Russia 2018 5 60 % 11 7 0.8 15 Quarter - final Mexico 1986 5 0 80 % 6 0.8 16 Quarter - final Mexico 1970 63 % 6 0.5 1.5 17 Quarter - final Switzerland 1954 0 50 % 11 11 0 0 2.8 18 Quarter - final France 1938 0 50 % 0 0 19 Second round Spain 1982 5 40 % 5 − 1 − 0.2 0.8 20 Round of 16 Japan 2002 63 % 5 0.5 1.25 21 Round of 16 United States 1994 38 % − 1 − 0.3 0.8 22 Group stage South Africa 50 % 5 − 2 − 0.7 Win % → Every draw counted as a half win .

It features calculation , graphing tools , pivot tables , and a macro programming language called Visual Basic for Applications . It has been a very widely applied spreadsheet for these platforms , especially since version 5 in 1993 , and it has replaced Lotus 1 - 2 - 3 as the industry standard for spreadsheets .

It has a battery of supplied functions to answer statistical , engineering and financial needs . In addition , it can display data as line graphs , histograms and charts , and with a very limited three - dimensional graphical display . It allows sectioning of data to view its dependencies on various factors for different perspectives ( using pivot tables and the scenario manager ) . It has a programming aspect , Visual Basic for Applications , allowing the user to employ a wide variety of numerical methods , for example , for solving differential equations of mathematical physics , and then reporting the results back to the spreadsheet . It also has a variety of interactive features allowing user interfaces that can completely hide the spreadsheet from the user , so the spreadsheet presents itself as a so - called application , or decision support system ( DSS ) , via a custom - designed user interface , for example , a stock analyzer , or in general , as a design tool that asks the user questions and provides answers and reports . In a more elaborate realization , an Excel application can automatically poll external databases and measuring instruments using an update schedule , analyze the results , make a Word report or PowerPoint slide show , and e-mail these presentations on a regular basis to a list of participants . Excel was not designed to be used as a database . Use of a user - defined function sq ( x ) in Microsoft Excel . The named variables x & y are identified in the Name Manager . The function sq is introduced using the Visual Basic editor supplied with Excel . Subroutine in Excel calculates the square of named column variable x read from the spreadsheet , and writes it into the named column variable y . Graph made using Microsoft Excel Microsoft allows for a number of optional command - line switches to control the manner in which Excel starts . Macro programming VBA programming Main article : Visual Basic for Applications The Windows version of Excel supports programming through Microsoft 's Visual Basic for Applications ( VBA ) , which is a dialect of Visual Basic . Programming with VBA allows spreadsheet manipulation that is awkward or impossible with standard spreadsheet techniques . Programmers may write code directly using the Visual Basic Editor ( VBE ) , which includes a window for writing code , debugging code , and code module organization environment . The user can implement numerical methods as well as automating tasks such as formatting or data organization in VBA and guide the calculation using any desired intermediate results reported back to the spreadsheet . VBA was removed from Mac Excel 2008 , as the developers did not believe that a timely release would allow porting the VBA engine natively to Mac OS X . VBA was restored in the next version , Mac Excel 2011 , although the build lacks support for ActiveX objects , impacting some high level developer tools . A common and easy way to generate VBA code is by using the Macro Recorder . The Macro Recorder records actions of the user and generates VBA code in the form of a macro . These actions can then be repeated automatically by running the macro . The macros can also be linked to different trigger types like keyboard shortcuts , a command button or a graphic . The actions in the macro can be executed from these trigger types or from the generic toolbar options . The VBA code of the macro can also be edited in the VBE . Certain features such as loop functions and screen prompt by their own properties , and some graphical display items , can not be recorded but must be entered into the VBA module directly by the programmer . Advanced users can employ user prompts to create an interactive program , or react to events such as sheets being loaded or changed . Macro Recorded code may not be compatible with Excel versions . Some code that is used in Excel 2010 can not be used in Excel 2003 . Making a Macro that changes the cell colours and making changes to other aspects of cells may not be backward compatible . VBA code interacts with the spreadsheet through the Excel Object Model , a vocabulary identifying spreadsheet objects , and a set of supplied functions or methods that enable reading and writing to the spreadsheet and interaction with its users ( for example , through custom toolbars or command bars and message boxes ) . User - created VBA subroutines execute these actions and operate like macros generated using the macro recorder , but are more flexible and efficient . History From its first version Excel supported end user programming of macros ( automation of repetitive tasks ) and user defined functions ( extension of Excel 's built - in function library ) . In early versions of Excel these programs were written in a macro language whose statements had formula syntax and resided in the cells of special purpose macro sheets ( stored with file extension . XLM in Windows . ) XLM was the default macro language for Excel through Excel 4.0 . Beginning with version 5.0 Excel recorded macros in VBA by default but with version 5.0 XLM recording was still allowed as an option . After version 5.0 that option was discontinued . All versions of Excel , including Excel 2010 are capable of running an XLM macro , though Microsoft discourages their use . Charts Excel supports charts , graphs , or histograms generated from specified groups of cells . The generated graphic component can either be embedded within the current sheet , or added as a separate object . These displays are dynamically updated if the content of cells change . For example , suppose that the important design requirements are displayed visually ; then , in response to a user 's change in trial values for parameters , the curves describing the design change shape , and their points of intersection shift , assisting the selection of the best design . Data storage and communication Number of rows and columns Versions of Excel up to 7.0 had a limitation in the size of their data sets of 16K ( 2 = 7004163840000000000 ♠ 16 384 ) rows . Versions 8.0 through 11.0 could handle 64K ( 2 = 7004655360000000000 ♠ 65 536 ) rows and 256 columns ( 2 as label ' IV ' ) . Version 12.0 can handle 1M ( 2 = 7006104857600000000 ♠ 1048576 ) rows , and 7004163840000000000 ♠ 16 384 ( 2 as label ' XFD ' ) columns . File formats Excel Spreadsheet Filename extension . xls , (. xlsx , . xlsm , . xlsb - Excel 2007 ) Internet media type application / vnd. ms - excel Uniform Type Identifier ( UTI ) com. microsoft. excel. xls Developed by Microsoft Type of format Spreadsheet Microsoft Excel up until 2007 version used a proprietary binary file format called Excel Binary File Format (. XLS ) as its primary format . Excel 2007 uses Office Open XML as its primary file format , an XML - based format that followed after a previous XML - based format called `` XML Spreadsheet '' ( `` XMLSS '' ) , first introduced in Excel 2002 . Although supporting and encouraging the use of new XML - based formats as replacements , Excel 2007 remained backwards - compatible with the traditional , binary formats . In addition , most versions of Microsoft Excel can read CSV , DBF , SYLK , DIF , and other legacy formats . Support for some older file formats was removed in Excel 2007 . The file formats were mainly from DOS - based programs . Binary OpenOffice.org has created documentation of the Excel format . Since then Microsoft made the Excel binary format specification available to freely download . XML Spreadsheet Main article : Microsoft Office XML formats The XML Spreadsheet format introduced in Excel 2002 is a simple , XML based format missing some more advanced features like storage of VBA macros . Though the intended file extension for this format is . xml , the program also correctly handles XML files with . xls extension . This feature is widely used by third - party applications ( e.g. MySQL Query Browser ) to offer `` export to Excel '' capabilities without implementing binary file format . The following example will be correctly opened by Excel if saved either as Book1. xml or Book1. xls : < ? xml version = `` 1.0 '' ? > < Workbook xmlns = `` urn : schemas - microsoft - com : office : spreadsheet '' xmlns : o = `` urn : schemas - microsoft - com : office : office '' xmlns : x = `` urn : schemas - microsoft - com : office : excel '' xmlns : ss = `` urn : schemas - microsoft - com : office : spreadsheet '' xmlns : html = `` http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40 '' > < Worksheet ss : Name = `` Sheet1 '' > < Table ss : ExpandedColumnCount = `` 2 '' ss : ExpandedRowCount = `` 2 '' x : FullColumns = `` 1 '' x : FullRows = `` 1 '' > < Row > < Cell > < Data ss : Type = `` String '' > Name < / Data > < / Cell > < Cell > < Data ss : Type = `` String '' > Example < / Data > < / Cell > < / Row > < Row > < Cell > < Data ss : Type = `` String '' > Value < / Data > < / Cell > < Cell > < Data ss : Type = `` Number '' > 123 < / Data > < / Cell > < / Row > < / Table > < / Worksheet > < / Workbook > Current file extensions Main article : Office Open XML Microsoft Excel 2007 , along with the other products in the Microsoft Office 2007 suite , introduced new file formats . The first of these (. xlsx ) is defined in the Office Open XML ( OOXML ) specification . Excel 2007 formats Format Extension Description Excel Workbook . xlsx The default Excel 2007 and later workbook format . In reality a ZIP compressed archive with a directory structure of XML text documents . Functions as the primary replacement for the former binary . xls format , although it does not support Excel macros for security reasons . Excel Macro-enabled Workbook . xlsm As Excel Workbook , but with macro support . Excel Binary Workbook . xlsb As Excel Macro-enabled Workbook , but storing information in binary form rather than XML documents for opening and saving documents more quickly and efficiently . Intended especially for very large documents with tens of thousands of rows , and / or several hundreds of columns .

DLL Code written in VBA may access functions in a DLL , typically this is used to access the Windows API Workspace . xlw Arrangement of the windows of multiple Workbooks Using other Windows applications Windows applications such as Microsoft Access and Microsoft Word , as well as Excel can communicate with each other and use each other 's capabilities . The most common are Dynamic Data Exchange : although strongly deprecated by Microsoft , this is a common method to send data between applications running on Windows , with official MS publications referring to it as `` the protocol from hell '' . As the name suggests , it allows applications to supply data to others for calculation and display . It is very common in financial markets , being used to connect to important financial data services such as Bloomberg and Reuters . OLE Object Linking and Embedding : allows a Windows application to control another to enable it to format or calculate data . This may take on the form of `` embedding '' where an application uses another to handle a task that it is more suited to , for example a PowerPoint presentation may be embedded in an Excel spreadsheet or vice versa . Using external data Excel users can access external data sources via Microsoft Office features such as ( for example ) . odc connections built with the Office Data Connection file format . Excel files themselves may be updated using a Microsoft supplied ODBC driver . Excel can accept data in real time through several programming interfaces , which allow it to communicate with many data sources such as Bloomberg and Reuters ( through addins such as Power Plus Pro ) . DDE : `` Dynamic Data Exchange '' uses the message passing mechanism in Windows to allow data to flow between Excel and other applications . Although it is easy for users to create such links , programming such links reliably is so difficult that Microsoft , the creators of the system , officially refer to it as `` the protocol from hell '' . In spite of its many issues DDE remains the most common way for data to reach traders in financial markets . Network DDE Extended the protocol to allow spreadsheets on different computers to exchange data . Starting with Windows Vista , Microsoft no longer supports the facility . Real Time Data : RTD although in many ways technically superior to DDE , has been slow to gain acceptance , since it requires non-trivial programming skills , and when first released was neither adequately documented nor supported by the major data vendors . Alternatively , Microsoft Query provides ODBC - based browsing within Microsoft Excel . Export and migration of spreadsheets Programmers have produced APIs to open Excel spreadsheets in a variety of applications and environments other than Microsoft Excel . These include opening Excel documents on the web using either ActiveX controls , or plugins like the Adobe Flash Player . The Apache POI opensource project provides Java libraries for reading and writing Excel spreadsheet files . ExcelPackage is another open - source project that provides server - side generation of Microsoft Excel 2007 spreadsheets . PHPExcel is a PHP library that converts Excel5 , Excel 2003 , and Excel 2007 formats into objects for reading and writing within a web application . Excel Services is a current . NET developer tool that can enhance Excel 's capabilities . Excel spreadsheets can be accessed from Python with xlrd and openpyxl . js - xlsx and js - xls can open Excel spreadsheets from JS . Password protection Main article : Microsoft Office password protection Microsoft Excel protection offers several types of passwords : Password to open a document Password to modify a document Password to unprotect worksheet Password to protect workbook Password to protect the sharing workbook All passwords except password to open a document can be removed instantly regardless of Microsoft Excel version used to create the document . These types of passwords are used primarily for shared work on a document . Such password - protected documents are not encrypted , and a data sources from a set password is saved in a document 's header . Password to protect workbook is an exception -- when it is set , a document is encrypted with the standard password `` VelvetSweatshop '' , but since it is known to public , it actually does not add any extra protection to the document . The only type of password that can prevent a trespasser from gaining access to a document is password to open a document . The cryptographic strength of this kind of protection depends strongly on the Microsoft Excel version that was used to create the document . In Microsoft Excel 95 and earlier versions , password to open is converted to a 16 - bit key that can be instantly cracked . In Excel 97 / 2000 the password is converted to a 40 - bit key , which can also be cracked very quickly using modern equipment . As regards services which use rainbow tables ( e.g. Password - Find ) , it takes up to several seconds to remove protection . In addition , password - cracking programs can brute - force attack passwords at a rate of hundreds of thousands of passwords a second , which not only lets them decrypt a document , but also find the original password . In Excel 2003 / XP the encryption is slightly better -- a user can choose any encryption algorithm that is available in the system ( see Cryptographic Service Provider ) . Due to the CSP , an Excel file ca n't be decrypted , and thus the password to open ca n't be removed , though the brute - force attack speed remains quite high . Nevertheless , the older Excel 97 / 2000 algorithm is set by the default . Therefore , users who did not changed the default settings lack reliable protection of their documents . The situation changed fundamentally in Excel 2007 , where the modern AES algorithm with a key of 128 bits started being used for decryption , and a 50,000-fold use of the hash function SHA1 reduced the speed of brute - force attacks down to hundreds of passwords per second . In Excel 2010 , the strength of the protection by the default was increased two times due to the use of a 100,000-fold SHA1 to convert a password to a key . Microsoft Excel Viewer Microsoft Excel Viewer is a freeware program for viewing and printing spreadsheet documents created by Excel . Excel Viewer is similar to Microsoft Word Viewer in functionality . ( There is not a current version for the Mac . ) Excel Viewer is available for Microsoft Windows and Windows CE handheld PCs , such as the NEC MobilePro . It is also possible to open Excel files using certain online tools and services . Online excel viewers do not require users to have Microsoft Excel installed . Quirks Further information : Spreadsheet § Shortcomings Other errors specific to Excel include misleading statistics functions , mod function errors , date limitations and the Excel 2007 error . Statistical functions The accuracy and convenience of statistical tools in Excel has been criticized , as mishandling missing data , as returning incorrect values due to inept handling of round - off and large numbers , as only selectively updating calculations on a spreadsheet when some cell values are changed , and as having a limited set of statistical tools . Microsoft has announced some of these issues are addressed in Excel 2010 . Excel MOD function error Excel has issues with modulo operations . In the case of excessively large results , Excel will return the error warning # NUM ! instead of an answer . Fictional leap day in the year 1900 Excel includes February 29 , 1900 , incorrectly treating 1900 as a leap year , even though e.g. 2100 is correctly treated as a regular year . The bug originated from Lotus 1 - 2 - 3 ( deliberately implemented to save computer memory ) , and was also purposely implemented in Excel , for the purpose of bug compatibility . This legacy has later been carried over into Office Open XML file format . Thus a ( not necessarily whole ) number greater than or equal to 61 interpreted as a date and time is the ( real ) number of days after December 30 , 1899 , 0 : 00 , a non-negative number less than 60 is the number of days after December 31 , 1899 , 0 : 00 , and numbers with whole part 60 represent the fictional day . Date range Excel supports dates with years in the range 1900 - 9999 , except that December 31 , 1899 can be entered as 0 and is displayed as 0 - jan - 1900 . Converting a fraction of a day into hours , minutes and days by treating it as a moment on the day January 1 , 1900 , does not work for a negative fraction . Conversion problems Entering text that happens to be in a form that is interpreted as a date , the text can be unintentionally changed to a standard date format . A similar problem occurs when a text happens to be in the form of a floating point notation of a number . In these cases the original exact text can not be recovered from the result . In the case of entering gene names this is a well known problem in the analysis of DNA , for example in bioinformatics . The problem was first described in 2004 . Filenames Microsoft Excel will not open two documents with the same name and instead will display the following error : A document with the name ' % s ' is already open . You can not open two documents with the same name , even if the documents are in different folders . To open the second document , either close the document that is currently open , or rename one of the documents . The reason is for calculation ambiguity with linked cells . If there is a cell = ' ( Book1. xlsx ) Sheet1 ' ! $ G $33 , and there are two books named `` Book1 '' open , there is no way to tell which one the user means . Numeric precision Main article : Numeric precision in Microsoft Excel Excel maintains 15 figures in its numbers , but they are not always accurate : the bottom line should be the same as the top line . Despite the use of 15 - figure precision , Excel can display many more figures ( up to thirty ) upon user request . But the displayed figures are not those actually used in its computations , and so , for example , the difference of two numbers may differ from the difference of their displayed values . Although such departures are usually beyond the 15th decimal , exceptions do occur , especially for very large or very small numbers . Serious errors can occur if decisions are made based upon automated comparisons of numbers ( for example , using the Excel If function ) , as equality of two numbers can be unpredictable . In the figure the fraction 1 / 9000 is displayed in Excel . Although this number has a decimal representation that is an infinite string of ones , Excel displays only the leading 15 figures . In the second line , the number one is added to the fraction , and again Excel displays only 15 figures . In the third line , one is subtracted from the sum using Excel . Because the sum in the second line has only eleven 1 's after the decimal , the difference when 1 is subtracted from this displayed value is three 0 's followed by a string of eleven 1 's . However , the difference reported by Excel in the third line is three 0 's followed by a string of thirteen 1 's and two extra erroneous digits . This is because Excel calculates with about half a digit more than it displays . Excel works with a modified 1985 version of the IEEE 754 specification . Excel 's implementation involves conversions between binary and decimal representations , leading to accuracy that is on average better than one would expect from simple fifteen digit precision , but that can be worse . See the main article for details . Besides accuracy in user computations , the question of accuracy in Excel - provided functions may be raised . Particularly in the arena of statistical functions , Excel has been criticized for sacrificing accuracy for speed of calculation . As many calculations in Excel are executed using VBA , an additional issue is the accuracy of VBA , which varies with variable type and user - requested precision . Content type auto - detection In 2004 scientists reported automatic ( and inadvertent ) conversion of gene nomenclature into dates . A follow - up study in 2016 found many peer reviewed scientific journal papers had been affected and that `` Of the selected journals , the proportion of published articles with Excel files containing gene lists that are affected by gene name errors is 19.6 % . Excel parses the copied and pasted data and sometimes changes them depending on what it thinks they are . For example , MARCH1 ( Membrane Associated Ring - CH - type finger 1 ) gets converted to the date March 1 ( 1 - Mar ) and SEPT2 ( Septin 2 ) is converted into September 2 ( 2 - Sep ) etc . While some secondary news sources reported this as a fault with Excel , the original authors of the 2016 paper placed the blame with the researchers mis - using Excel . Versions Early history Microsoft originally marketed a spreadsheet program called Multiplan in 1982 . Multiplan became very popular on CP / M systems , but on MS - DOS systems it lost popularity to Lotus 1 - 2 - 3 . Microsoft released the first version of Excel for the Macintosh on September 30 , 1985 , and the first Windows version was 2.05 ( to synchronize with the Macintosh version 2.2 ) in November 1987 . Lotus was slow to bring 1 - 2 - 3 to Windows and by the early 1990s Excel had started to outsell 1 - 2 - 3 and helped Microsoft achieve its position as a leading PC software developer . This accomplishment solidified Microsoft as a valid competitor and showed its future of developing GUI software . Microsoft maintained its advantage with regular new releases , every two years or so . Microsoft Windows Excel 2.0 is the first version of Excel for the Intel platform . Versions prior to 2.0 were only available on the Apple Macintosh . Excel 2.0 ( 1987 ) The first Windows version was labeled `` 2 '' to correspond to the Mac version . This included a run - time version of Windows . BYTE in 1989 listed Excel for Windows as among the `` Distinction '' winners of the BYTE Awards . The magazine stated that the port of the `` extraordinary '' Macintosh version `` shines '' , with a user interface as good as or better than the original . Excel 30 ( 1990 ) Included toolbars , drawing capabilities , outlining , add - in support , 3D charts , and many more new features . Excel 4.0 ( 1992 ) Introduced auto - fill . Also , an easter egg in Excel 4.0 reveals a hidden animation of a dancing set of numbers 1 through 3 , representing Lotus 1 - 2 - 3 , which was then crushed by an Excel logo . Excel 5.0 ( 1993 ) With version 5.0 , Excel has included Visual Basic for Applications ( VBA ) , a programming language based on Visual Basic which adds the ability to automate tasks in Excel and to provide user - defined functions ( UDF ) for use in worksheets . VBA is a powerful addition to the application and includes a fully featured integrated development environment ( IDE ) . Macro recording can produce VBA code replicating user actions , thus allowing simple automation of regular tasks . VBA allows the creation of forms and in ‐ worksheet controls to communicate with the user . The language supports use ( but not creation ) of ActiveX ( COM ) DLL 's ; later versions add support for class modules allowing the use of basic object - oriented programming techniques . The automation functionality provided by VBA made Excel a target for macro viruses . This caused serious problems until antivirus products began to detect these viruses . Microsoft belatedly took steps to prevent the misuse by adding the ability to disable macros completely , to enable macros when opening a workbook or to trust all macros signed using a trusted certificate . Versions 5.0 to 9.0 of Excel contain various Easter eggs , including a `` Hall of Tortured Souls '' , although since version 10 Microsoft has taken measures to eliminate such undocumented features from their products . 5.0 was released in a 16 - bit x86 version for Windows 3.1 and later in a 32 - bit version for NT 3.51 ( x86 / Alpha / PowerPC ) Excel 95 ( v7. 0 ) Microsoft Excel 95 Released in 1995 with Microsoft Office for Windows 95 , this is the first major version after Excel 5.0 , as there is no Excel 6.0 with all of the Office applications standardizing on the same major version number . Internal rewrite to 32 - bits . Almost no external changes , but faster and more stable . Excel 97 ( v8. 0 ) Included in Office 97 ( for x86 and Alpha ) . This was a major upgrade that introduced the paper clip office assistant and featured standard VBA used instead of internal Excel Basic . It introduced the now - removed Natural Language labels . This version of Excel includes a flight simulator as an Easter Egg . Excel 2000 ( v9. 0 ) Microsoft Excel 2000 Included in Office 2000 . This was a minor upgrade , but introduced an upgrade to the clipboard where it can hold multiple objects at once . The Office Assistant , whose frequent unsolicited appearance in Excel 97 had annoyed many users , became less intrusive . Excel 2002 ( v10. 0 ) Included in Office XP . Very minor enhancements . Excel 2003 ( v11. 0 ) Included in Office 2003 . Minor enhancements , most significant being the new Tables . Excel 2007 ( v12. 0 ) Microsoft Excel 2007 Included in Office 2007 . This release was a major upgrade from the previous version . Similar to other updated Office products , Excel in 2007 used the new Ribbon menu system . This was different from what users were used to , and was met with mixed reactions . One study reported fairly good acceptance by users except highly experienced users and users of word processing applications with a classical WIMP interface , but was less convinced in terms of efficiency and organisation . However , an online survey reported that a majority of respondents had a negative opinion of the change , with advanced users being `` somewhat more negative '' than intermediate users , and users reporting a self - estimated reduction in productivity . Added functionality included the SmartArt set of editable business diagrams . Also added was an improved management of named variables through the Name Manager , and much improved flexibility in formatting graphs , which allow ( x , y ) coordinate labeling and lines of arbitrary weight . Several improvements to pivot tables were introduced . Also like other office products , the Office Open XML file formats were introduced , including . xlsm for a workbook with macros and . xlsx for a workbook without macros . Specifically , many of the size limitations of previous versions were greatly increased . To illustrate , the number of rows was now 1,048,576 ( 2 ) and columns was 16,384 ( 2 ; the far - right column is XFD ) . This changes what is a valid A1 reference versus a named range . This version made more extensive use of multiple cores for the calculation of spreadsheets ; however , VBA macros are not handled in parallel and XLL add ‐ ins were only executed in parallel if they were thread - safe and this was indicated at registration . Excel 2010 ( v14. 0 ) Microsoft Excel 2010 running on Windows 7 Included in Office 2010 , this is the next major version after v12. 0 , as version number 13 was skipped . Minor enhancements and 64 - bit support , including the following : Multi-threading recalculation ( MTR ) for commonly used functions Improved pivot tables More conditional formatting options Additional image editing capabilities In - cell charts called sparklines Ability to preview before pasting Office 2010 backstage feature for document - related tasks Ability to customize the Ribbon Many new formulas , most highly specialized to improve accuracy Excel 2013 ( v15. 0 ) Included in Office 2013 , along with a lot of new tools included in this release : Improved Multi-threading and Memory Contention FlashFill Power View Power Pivot Timeline Slicer Windows App Inquire 50 new functions Excel 2016 ( v16. 0 ) Included in Office 2016 , along with a lot of new tools included in this release : Power Query integration Read - only mode for Excel Keyboard access for Pivot Tables and Slicers in Excel New Chart Types Quick data linking in Visio Excel forecasting functions Support for multi-selection of Slicer items using touch Time grouping and Pivot Chart Drill Down Excel data cards Apple Macintosh Microsoft Excel for Mac 2011 1985 Excel 1.0 1988 Excel 1.5 1989 Excel 2.2 1990 Excel 3.0 1992 Excel 4.0 1993 Excel 5.0 ( part of Office 4. x -- Final Motorola 680x0 version and first PowerPC version ) 1998 Excel 8.0 ( part of Office 98 ) 2000 Excel 9.0 ( part of Office 2001 ) 2001 Excel 10.0 ( part of Office v.

Discontinued subseries of Microsoft Excel , which is otherwise still an actively developed program . Impact Excel offers many user interface tweaks over the earliest electronic spreadsheets ; however , the essence remains the same as in the original spreadsheet software , VisiCalc : the program displays cells organized in rows and columns , and each cell may contain data or a formula , with relative or absolute references to other cells . Excel 2.0 for Windows , which was modeled after its Mac GUI - based counterpart , indirectly expanded the installed base of the then - nascent Windows environment . Excel 2.0 was released a month before Windows 2.0 , and the installed base of Windows was so low at that point in 1987 that Microsoft had to bundle a runtime version of Windows 1.0 with Excel 2.0 . Unlike Microsoft Word , there never was a DOS version of Excel . Excel became the first spreadsheet to allow the user to define the appearance of spreadsheets ( fonts , character attributes and cell appearance ) . It also introduced intelligent cell recomputation , where only cells dependent on the cell being modified are updated ( previous spreadsheet programs recomputed everything all the time or waited for a specific user command ) . Excel introduced auto - fill , the ability to drag and expand the selection box to automatically copy cell or row contents to adjacent cells or rows , adjusting the copies intelligently by automatically incrementing cell references or contents . Excel also introduced extensive graphing capabilities . Security Because Excel is widely used , it has been attacked by hackers . While Excel is not directly exposed to the Internet , if an attacker can get a victim to open a file in Excel , and there is an appropriate security bug in Excel , then the attacker can get control of the victim 's computer . UK 's GCHQ has a tool named TORNADO ALLEY with this purpose .

List of World Series champions
List of World Series champions - wikipedia List of World Series champions This article is about winners of the World Series of Major League Baseball that began in 1903 . For earlier league and inter-league championships , see List of pre-World Series baseball champions . At the first World Series , held in 1903 , the Boston Americans ( front row ) defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates ( back row ) in eight games . Part of a series on the Major League Baseball postseason Tie Breakers Tie Breaker Games Wild Card Wild Card Game Division Series ALDS NLDS League Championship Series ALCS ( Winners list ) NLCS ( Winners list ) World Series List of World Series champions Commissioner 's Trophy Teams Appearances Series Streaks Droughts The World Series is the annual championship series of Major League Baseball ( MLB ) and concludes the MLB postseason . First played in 1903 , the World Series championship is determined through a best - of - seven playoff and is a contest between the champions of baseball 's National League ( NL ) and American League ( AL ) . Often referred to as the `` Fall Classic '' , the modern World Series has been played every year since 1903 with two exceptions : in 1904 , when the NL champion New York Giants declined to play the AL champion Boston Americans ; and in 1994 , when the series was canceled due to the players ' strike . The best - of - seven style has been the format of all World Series except in 1903 , 1919 , 1920 , and 1921 , when the winner was determined through a best - of - nine playoff . Although the large majority of contests have been played entirely during the month of October , a small number of Series have also had games played during September and November . The Series - winning team is awarded the Commissioner 's Trophy . Players , coaches , and others associated with the team are generally given World Series rings to commemorate their victory ; however , they have received other items such as pocket watches and medallions in the past . The winning team is traditionally invited to the White House to meet the President of the United States . A total of 113 Series have been contested , with the NL champion winning 48 and the AL champion winning 65 . The New York Yankees of the AL have played in 40 World Series through 2017 -- winning 27 -- the most Series appearances , victories , and losses ( 13 , shared with the Los Angeles Dodgers ) of any Major League Baseball franchise . The St. Louis Cardinals , who represented the NL for a 19th time in 2013 , have won 11 championships , which is the second-most among all 30 Major League Baseball teams as well as most among NL teams . Both the Giants and the Dodgers have been NL champions more times , with the Giants winning 23 NL pennants and the Dodgers winning 22 . The Seattle Mariners and the Washington Nationals ( formerly Montreal Expos ) are the only current Major League Baseball franchises to have never appeared in a World Series ; the San Diego Padres , Colorado Rockies , Texas Rangers ( formerly the 1961 -- 1971 version of the Washington Senators ) , Tampa Bay Rays , and Milwaukee Brewers ( formerly Seattle Pilots ) have all played in the Series but have never won . The Toronto Blue Jays are the only franchise from outside the United States to appear in a World Series , winning in 1992 and 1993 . The current World Series champions are the Houston Astros .

who has played in the most world series games
[ "A total of 113 Series have been contested, with the NL champion winning 48 and the AL champion winning 65. The New York Yankees of the AL have played in 40 World Series through 2017—winning 27—the most Series appearances, victories, and losses (13, shared with the Los Angeles Dodgers) of any Major League Baseball franchise. The St. Louis Cardinals, who represented the NL for a 19th time in 2013, have won 11 championships, which is the second-most among all 30 Major League Baseball teams as well as most among NL teams.[3] Both the Giants and the Dodgers have been NL champions more times, with the Giants winning 23 NL pennants and the Dodgers winning 22.\n" ]

Red imported fire ants in the United States
Red imported fire ants in the United States - wikipedia Red imported fire ants in the United States Jump to : navigation , search Red imported fire ants The red imported fire ant ( Solenopsis invicta ) , or simply RIFA , is one of over 280 species in the widespread genus Solenopsis . It is native to South America but it has become both a pest and a health hazard in the southern United States as well as a number of other countries . Contents ( hide ) 1 Introduction 2 Spread 3 Economic impact 4 See also 5 References 6 External links Introduction ( edit ) In the 1930s , colonies were accidentally introduced into the United States through the seaport of Mobile , Alabama . Despite earlier views that cargo ships from Brazil docking at Mobile unloaded goods infested with the ants , recent DNA research confirmed that the likely source population for all invasive S. invicta in the United States occurred at or near Formosa , Argentina , and virtually every analysis ruled out all sampled Brazilian populations as a potential source . Biologist E.O. Wilson says that he reported the first colony , in the Mobile area , when he was 13 . The ants then spread from Alabama to almost every state of the American South , from Texas to Maryland and a few other Mid-Atlantic states . Since the 1990s infestations have been reported in New Mexico and parts of Arizona in the Southwest . They have also been reported in California in the West , but probably arrived via ship or truck rather than by spreading . In a similar way , the ants were accidentally introduced into Australia in 2001 . Spread ( edit ) In the United States , RIFAs have gradually spread north and west despite intense efforts to stop or eliminate them . As of 2011 in the United States they were found in most of the southern states : Alabama , Arkansas , Arizona , California , Delaware , Florida , Georgia , Kentucky , Louisiana , Mississippi , North Carolina , New Mexico , Oklahoma , South Carolina , Tennessee , Texas , and Virginia . The U.S. Department of Agriculture also lists the entire island of Puerto Rico as infested . RIFAs were still on the move in the US in the early 21st century , often traveling from one area to another in turf , root balls of nursery plants , and other agricultural products . They could be controlled , but not eradicated . A number of products are available , which can be used on a mound - by - mound basis to destroy ant colonies when they appear . With all such efforts , it is important to reach and kill the queens , which may be as far as six feet ( 2 m ) underground ; otherwise , some queens may simply move a short distance away and quickly re-establish the colony . However , during the past few years , even this technique resulted in failure to control colony growth . Scientists then discovered that an adaptation in RIFAs had resulted in many populations having multiple queens in mounds over a large area . In areas where Solenopsis invicta ( red imported fire ants ) founded colonies , larger colonies of Tetramorium caespitum ( pavement ants ) have destroyed them , leading entomologists to conclude that this conflict between the two species would decelerate the northward spread of Solenopsis invicta . Economic impact ( edit ) The RIFA 's introduction to the United States was in the late 1930s . Traveling in soil used as ballast on cargo ships , they came in through the seaport of Mobile , Alabama . They build mounds , usually no larger than 46 cm ( 18 in ) in diameter and 46 cm ( 18 in ) in height , although in Alabama some mounds have been reported to be over 60 cm ( 2.0 ft ) high and larger , especially in fields where cattle graze . They build on soil close to homes and other buildings , and sometimes forage indoors for food and moisture . They are a nuisance , and can threaten sleeping or bedridden individuals and pets . Occasionally , they feed on vegetable plants in home gardens . The worst damage usually occurs during hot , dry weather , when they invade flower beds while seeking warmth and moisture . If disturbed , fire ants bite and sting the intruder . They are apparently attracted to electrical equipment , and crawl into air conditioning units and the electrical wiring of stop lights , shorting them out . This is the leading cause of traffic light shorts in Texas , where the ants cause more than US $140 million in damage each year . Several ant species , including fire ants , have been shown to contain ferromagnetic nanoparticles that may contribute information about the geomagnetic field for orientation during foraging or migration . However , it has not been found that electric or magnetic fields attract the ants . Rather , when wandering ants cause electrical shorts , they attempt to sting the wire and produce powerful semiochemicals , including defensive and recruitment pheromones . The chemical signals draw additional ants to the short . The only effective protection is to bar ants from the equipment physically or with insecticides . The FDA estimates more than US $5 billion is spent annually on medical treatment , damage , and control in RIFA - infested areas . Further , the ants cause approximately US $750 million in damage to agricultural assets , including veterinary bills and livestock loss , as well as crop loss .

In laboratory experiments , workers from colonies of Tetramorium caespitum destroyed recently founded colonies of the red imported fire ant , Solenopsis invicta ( King and Phillips 1992 ) .

The ranges of these species are contiguous in North Carolina and it is predicted that if S. invicta moves northward , interactions between them may intensify . Jump up ^ Wilcove , David S ; David S.

It is governed by the Football Association of Ireland ( FAI ) and plays its home fixtures at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin . The team made their debut at the 1924 Summer Olympics , reaching the quarter - finals . Between 1924 and 1936 , the team competed as the Irish Free State and from then until 1950 , it was referred to by the FAI as Éire or Ireland . In 1953 , FIFA decreed that for competitive matches in tournaments that both Irish teams may enter , the FAI team would be officially called the Republic of Ireland while the IFA team was to be named Northern Ireland . Northern Ireland was allowed to use the title Ireland by FIFA in the Home International Competition until it was discontinued in 1984 . The Republic of Ireland was the first nation from outside the United Kingdom to defeat England at home at a fixture played at Goodison Park , Liverpool , in 1949 . The team also reached the quarter - final stage of the 1964 European Nations ' Cup , where they lost to the eventual winners Spain . Under the guidance of Jack Charlton , the team enjoyed its most successful era , reaching their highest FIFA world ranking ever at sixth in August 1993 , and qualifying for UEFA Euro 1988 in their first appearance at the UEFA European Championship , reaching the quarter - finals of the 1990 FIFA World Cup in their first ever appearance at the finals , as well as making the last 16 at the 1994 edition . Charlton 's successor Mick McCarthy lost out on the next two major tournaments but ultimately qualified for the 2002 World Cup , making it to the last 16 . Under Giovanni Trapattoni , the team narrowly lost out on qualification for the 2010 World Cup during a controversial play - off , but went on to qualify for Euro 2012 . The team failed to qualify for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil , marking the end of Trapattoni 's tenure as manager . The Republic of Ireland also fell to a record low FIFA ranking of 59th , then a record low of 70th in June 2014 . For the next Euro qualifying campaign under manager Martin O'Neill , the Republic of Ireland finished third behind Germany and Poland , but went on to qualify for Euro 2016 after a 3 -- 1 aggregate win over Bosnia and Herzegovina in the play - offs . The Boys in Green reached the Round of 16 stage at that tournament and were knocked out by the hosts and eventual runners - up France after losing 2 -- 1 .

In 1920 , Ireland was partitioned into Northern Ireland and the Irish Free State ( the latter in turn becoming Éire or Ireland after adopting a new Constitution in 1937 , followed by declaring itself a republic in 1948 . ) Following the initial political upheavals surrounding Partition , a Dublin - based organisation calling itself the Football Association of the Irish Free State ( FAIFS ) split from the IFA in 1921 and began organising its own league and national football team . In 1923 , the FAIFS was recognised by FIFA as the governing body of the Irish Free State and at the 1924 Summer Olympics , the Irish Free State made their international debut . On 28 May , at the Stade Olympique , they beat Bulgaria 1 -- 0 , with Paddy Duncan scoring the team 's first ever goal . As a result , they qualified for the quarter - finals . On 14 June 1924 , the Irish Free State made their home debut against the United States , who had embarked on a brief European tour after competing in the same Summer Olympics . Ed Brookes scored a hat - trick in a 3 -- 1 home win at Dalymount Park . The Irish Free State did not play their next game until 21 March 1926 , an away game against Italy lost 3 -- 0 . In subsequent years , the status of the Olympic Games football competition was downgraded and as a result , this game is widely regarded as the Irish Free State 's first official game . On 25 February 1934 , the Irish Free State made their FIFA World Cup debut , drawing 4 -- 4 with Belgium at Dalymount Park in a 1934 FIFA World Cup qualifier . Paddy Moore scored all four of the Free State 's goals and became the first player ever to score four goals in a World Cup game . Ireland ( 1937 -- 1952 ) ( edit ) After 1936 , they reverted to the designation `` Football Association of Ireland '' and began to refer to their team as Éire or `` Ireland '' . During this entire period , there were two Irish international football teams , chosen by two rival Associations . Both Associations , the Northern Ireland - based IFA and the Irish Free State - based FAI claimed jurisdiction over the whole of Ireland and considered themselves entitled to select players from the entire island . At least 38 dual internationals were selected to represent both teams , however the overwhelming majority of these were Southerners who also agreed to play for the IFA team , with only a bare handful `` crossing the border '' in the other direction . A 2 -- 0 win over England at Goodison Park on 21 September 1949 was the first time England suffered a home defeat by a team outside the Home Countries of Scotland , Wales and the Ireland team run by the Belfast - based Irish FA . FIFA eventually intervened when both teams entered 1950 World Cup qualification , the first time they had entered the same competition . Four players -- Tom Aherne , Reg Ryan , Davy Walsh , Con Martin -- actually played for the two different teams in the same FIFA World Cup tournament . All four players concerned had been born in the Irish Free State and made their full international debut in FAI colours before agreeing to represent the IFA team . This may have alarmed the FAI , since they subsequently lobbied FIFA to prevent the IFA from picking Southern - born players ( as well as attempting to exert pressure on the players themselves , sometimes through their clubs ) . FIFA 's response was to restrict the eligibility of players on the basis of the ( political ) border , further ruling in 1953 that neither team could be referred to as Ireland in competitions which both teams were eligible to enter ; i.e. , initially the FIFA World Cup and subsequently the European Nations Cup ( now the UEFA European Football Championship ) . FIFA decreed that the FAI team officially be called the Republic of Ireland while the IFA team was to be named Northern Ireland . Republic of Ireland ( 1953 -- 1968 ) ( edit ) In 1953 , FIFA renamed the team from `` Ireland '' to `` Republic of Ireland '' . The 1958 World Cup qualifiers saw the Republic of Ireland drawn with England . In their home game against England , Alf Ringstead put the hosts 1 -- 0 up before John Atyeo equalised in the last minute to salvage a 1 -- 1 draw for England . Under the rules of the day , a win for the Republic of Ireland would have meant a play - off with England for a place in the World Cup . After reaching the quarter - finals of the 1964 European Nations ' Cup , the Republic of Ireland were drawn to face Spain and Syria in 1966 World Cup qualifying . Despite Syria 's withdrawal , this was still considered a qualifying group with the Irish winning 1 -- 0 at home and losing 4 -- 1 away . This meant a play - off at the Parc des Princes in Paris , which Spain won 1 -- 0 Eamon Dunphy made his Ireland debut in this game . The play - off was originally scheduled to take place at Wembley Stadium in London , home to a large Irish diaspora , but the FAI agreed with the Royal Spanish Football Federation to have the match moved to Paris , where a large Spanish diaspora lived . The FAI was criticised for this move to boost revenue from gate receipts . In 1965 , the Republic of Ireland team made history when selecting Manchester United full - back Shay Brennan for the senior national team . This was the first instance of a player born outside the Republic being selected to play for the national team due to having an Irish parent . Since then , many of the Republic 's most prominent players have been born in England , including Mark Lawrenson , David O'Leary , John Aldridge , Tony Cascarino and David Kelly . A number of Scottish - born players , including Ray Houghton , have since represented the Republic due to having Irish parentage . The selection rules were later relaxed to allow for the selection of players with an Irish grandparent . Wilderness ( 1969 -- 1985 ) ( edit ) In 1969 , the FAI appointed Mick Meagan as the first permanent manager of the national side . His two years in charge were marked by exceptionally poor results , however with the team losing five out of six matches and gaining just one point in their 1970 World Cup qualification , and doing no better in the UEFA Euro 1972 qualifiers , leading to his dismissal . His replacement , Liam Tuohy , did a somewhat better in the 1974 qualification , and more importantly oversaw major improvements to the national team 's training facilities and persuaded many English club sides to end their policies of not releasing Irish players for international games during the domestic season . Ultimately , however , the team still failed to qualify for the World Cup , and Tuohy resigned following a dispute over his wages . Johnny Giles became the side 's first player - manager in the 1970s . This was followed by the debut of a young Liam Brady and results improved markedly . The side missed out on the 1978 World Cup by two points , having defeated France at home during qualification . After a less than impressive performance at Euro 1980 qualifying , in which the team finished well behind group winners England and Northern Ireland , Giles resigned , saying that he had taken the national side as far as he could . Eoin Hand took over as manager for the 1982 World Cup qualifiers , and once more the Republic of Ireland narrowly missed out on qualification , this time on goal difference behind France , whom they had defeated at home once more . Disappointing qualifying campaigns for both Euro 1984 and the 1986 World Cup followed , ending Hand 's time in charge . The Charlton years ( 1986 -- 1995 ) ( edit ) In 1986 , the Republic of Ireland appointed Jack Charlton , a top rated English manager who had been part of England 's World Cup - winning side of 1966 . During the 1970s , he had developed Middlesbrough into a side which provided many players to the dominant Liverpool team of the time . Republic of Ireland playing Netherlands at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando , Florida , where they lost 2 -- 0 in the Round of 16 of the 1994 World Cup After taking charge of the Republic of Ireland , Charlton influenced changes in the national side which resulted in arguably the most successful period of its history , qualifying for two World Cups and a European Championship . Ireland 's first appearance at a major finals tournament came in Euro 1988 . With Ireland 's fixtures already complete , Qualification was secured through Gary Mackay 's 87th minute goal in Sofia when Scotland beat Bulgaria 1 -- 0 . The Scottish win left Ireland top of the group . In the finals in West Germany , Ireland beat England 1 -- 0 in Stuttgart with a header from Ray Houghton ; drew 1 -- 1 with the Soviet Union in Hannover , with Ronnie Whelan the scorer ; and lost to the Netherlands 1 -- 0 in Gelsenkirchen , coming within seven minutes of a draw that would have meant a semi-final place . The Republic of Ireland 's longest competitive winning streak was achieved in 1989 during the 1990 World Cup qualifying campaign . Five games against Spain , Northern Ireland , Hungary and Malta twice , were all wins for the Irish . Subsequently , the side made it to the 1990 World Cup in Italy . Three draws in the group stage against England , Egypt and the Netherlands was enough to make the knockout stage . Virtually the entire country watched as they beat Romania on penalties , with Packie Bonner making a vital save and David O'Leary scoring the decisive spot - kick . Ireland were then beaten 1 -- 0 by Italy in the quarter - final at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome . During the tournament , the team had an audience with Pope John Paul II , the only team to do so . After missing out on Euro 1992 ( despite being unbeaten in qualifying ) , the Republic of Ireland qualified for the 1994 World Cup , held in the United States . In their first match , they beat the previous World Cup hosts and third - place finishers , Italy , 1 -- 0 in their opening game at Giants Stadium just outside New York City , but lost to Mexico 2 -- 1 at the Citrus Bowl in the heat and humidity of Orlando , Florida . They ended the group stage with a 0 -- 0 draw with Norway at Giants Stadium , in East Rutherford , New Jersey . With these results , they made it to the second round , eventually losing 2 -- 0 to the Netherlands in Orlando . In 1996 , Ireland finished second behind Portugal in Euro 1996 qualifying 's Group 6 , but narrowly missed out on Euro 1996 after losing 2 -- 0 in a play - off , played at Anfield between the two worst group runners - up , to the Netherlands ( the other worst runner - up ) , with Patrick Kluivert scoring both goals to send his team through . It was Jack Charlton 's final game as manager . Mick McCarthy era ( 1996 -- 2002 ) ( edit ) Charlton was replaced by Mick McCarthy but Ireland still missed out on the next two major tournaments . Ireland just managed to finish second to Romania in their 1998 World Cup qualification campaign after Tony Cascarino scored a late goal to win the away match with Lithuania . A play - off with Belgium followed , with the match at Lansdowne Road finishing in a 1 -- 1 draw , the match in Belgium finishing 2 -- 1 to the home team and substitute David Connolly being sent off in the latter , preventing Ireland from progressing to the 1998 World Cup . FIFA awarded the FIFA Fair Play Award for 1997 to the Irish supporters `` for their exemplary behaviour at Ireland team matches , especially the FIFA World Cup qualifying play - offs against Belgium '' . Ireland 's opponents in UEFA Euro 2000 qualifying Group 8 were Yugoslavia , Croatia , Malta and Macedonia . Macedonia scored a last - minute equaliser that denied Ireland top spot in the group ; instead , they faced Turkey in a play - off to decide which team would participate in Euro 2000 . The match in Dublin finished in a 1 -- 1 draw , although Turkey qualified through the away goals rule after a 0 -- 0 draw , at the end of which Tony Cascarino became involved in a fight and retired from international football . Ireland took on both Portugal and the Netherlands in 2002 World Cup qualifiers in UEFA 's Group 2 , ending the group in second place with 24 points from 10 matches ( seven victories and three draws ) . Despite this unbeaten run , Ireland were drawn in a play - off with Iran . The match in Dublin finished in a 2 -- 0 victory to Ireland with goals from Ian Harte ( penalty ) and Robbie Keane , while the match in Tehran , played in front of 100,000 spectators , finished in a 1 -- 0 win for Iran . McCarthy thus managed to lead Ireland to the 2002 World Cup final stages , though only for the team to lose inspirational captain Roy Keane due to the pair 's infamous public spat in Saipan. 1 -- 1 draws with Cameroon and Germany were followed by a 3 -- 0 victory over Saudi Arabia in Group E. The Irish once again progressed to the knockout stage , only losing narrowly 3 -- 2 on penalties to Spain in Suwon after Robbie Keane 's last minute equalising penalty kick forced the game into extra-time . Decline ( 2003 -- 2007 ) ( edit ) After a poor start to qualifying for Euro 2004 , McCarthy was replaced by Brian Kerr , but he too struggled to guide the side to the tournament or the subsequent 2006 World Cup in Germany , and was ultimately sacked in October 2005 . Kerr was replaced by Steve Staunton ( assisted by Bobby Robson in the position of `` international football consultant '' ) in January 2006 . Under Staunton , results varied widely but the team still failed to qualify for Euro 2008 and Staunton lost the position in October 2007 . His reign included a humiliating 5 -- 2 defeat to Cyprus during the qualifiers ' Group D , one of the worst defeats in the team 's history . The Trapattoni years ( 2008 -- 2013 ) ( edit ) Irish celebrating qualification for UEFA Euro 2012 Giovanni Trapattoni was appointed manager in February 2008 following a spell with assistant coach Don Givens in charge . Trapattoni went through all ten first round 2010 World Cup qualifying games unbeaten , winning four of the ten games . Ireland lost out on a place in the finals , however , after a controversial , narrow loss to France in the play - offs . Ireland went down 0 -- 1 in the first leg , and lost 2 -- 1 on aggregate , with William Gallas scoring a controversial goal in extra time in the second leg after Thierry Henry had handled the ball before crossing for Gallas to score . This followed another controversy over FIFA 's last - minute decision to seed the play - off draw . In 2011 , Ireland hosted and won the inaugural Nations Cup with wins against Wales , Northern Ireland and Scotland without conceding a goal . In their Euro 2012 qualifying group , Ireland finished second , losing only the home fixture against Russia . They thus reached the play - offs and were drawn against Estonia , whom they beat 5 -- 1 on aggregate . Euro 2012 was Ireland 's first major tournament since 2002 , but in Group C they lost all three matches , against Croatia , Spain and Italy . UEFA , however , announced a special award for the fans of the Irish team , who notably sang in the last few minutes against Spain , despite trailing 4 -- 0 . Irish team in September 2013 Ireland were drawn in Group C of UEFA 's 2014 World Cup qualification alongside Germany , Sweden , Austria , the Faroe Islands and Kazakhstan . On 12 October , Ireland suffered their largest ever competitive home defeat , 6 -- 1 against Germany , at the Aviva Stadium . Ireland then lost against Sweden and Austria in early September 2013 , effectively ending the qualification campaign , and Giovanni Trapattoni resigned as team manager the following day . Noel King was appointed interim senior manager on 23 September 2013 following his resignation . On 5 November 2013 , the FAI announced that Martin O'Neill would be Trapattoni 's replacement as manager , with former team captain Roy Keane as his assistant . They assumed their roles when the team met on 11 November where they won against Latvia 3 -- 0 and drew against Poland 0 -- 0 . Recent history ( 2014 -- present ) ( edit ) For the Euro 2016 qualification phase , the Republic of Ireland were drawn in Group D against Georgia , Germany , Gibraltar , Poland and Scotland . The team played against Gibraltar for the first time , beating them 7 -- 0 , and scored an away draw against World Cup champions , Germany , a few days later in October 2014 . On 8 October 2015 , the Republic of Ireland beat world champions Germany 1 0 in a Euro 2016 qualifier at the Aviva Stadium . Shane Long scored the game 's only goal with an excellent finish in the 70th minute , rewarding the Republic of Ireland 's impressive defensive display . The result , hailed as one of the Republic of Ireland 's greatest , guaranteed the Republic of Ireland a play - off place at least , with hopes of automatic qualification still a reality going into the final group game against Poland in Warsaw . A win , or a draw of 2 -- 2 or more , would guarantee at least second place in the group and ensure automatic qualification for the finals in France . The Republic of Ireland , however , lost 2 -- 1 , thus entering them into the play - offs . The draw for the Euro 2016 Play - off was held in Nyon , Switzerland , on 18 October 2015 . Ireland were unseeded in the draw , meaning they could face one of Bosnia and Herzegovina , Ukraine , Sweden or Hungary . Ireland were drawn against Bosnia and Herzegovina , the top seeded team in the play - off . The only previous meeting between the teams resulted in a 1 -- 0 win for the Republic of Ireland in a friendly in 2012 , Shane Long scoring the game 's only goal . Owing to injuries and suspensions , Ireland had only the `` B '' squad available for the first leg of the play - off , played in Bilino Polje Stadium . A goal from Robbie Brady almost secured a victory for the Irish until Edin Džeko equalized 1 -- 1 to end off the match . In the second leg played at the Aviva Stadium , Jonathan Walters scored two goals leading to a 2 -- 0 victory for the Irish . In the end , Ireland won the play - off 3 -- 1 on aggregate , qualifying them for Euro 2016 . At the tournament 's final stages in France , Ireland were drawn into Group E against Italy , Belgium and Sweden . In their opener at the Stade de France in Saint - Denis , Paris , Wes Hoolahan scored the opener with a spectacular half - volley off a Séamus Coleman cross , but Sweden equalised after Ciaran Clark headed into his own net attempting to clear a cross from Zlatan Ibrahimović , leading to a 1 -- 1 draw . At the Nouveau Stade de Bordeaux against Belgium , the Belgians cruised to a 3 -- 0 victory after two goals from Romelu Lukaku and one from Axel Witsel , leaving Ireland needing to win their final match against Italy to qualify for the knockout stage . Against Italy at the Stade Pierre - Mauroy in Villeneuve - d'Ascq , Lille , Ireland played strongly but were five minutes plus stoppage time away from elimination when Robbie Brady headed in Hoolahan 's cross . The Republic held on to win 1 -- 0 , sending Ireland through as one of the four best third - place teams . On 26 June , Ireland played France in the round of 16 in Lyon . Ireland took the lead in the match with an early penalty from Robbie Brady , but France went on to win 2 -- 1 to advance to the quarter - finals . The 2018 World Cup qualification draw took place on 25 July 2015 when the team were drawn in Group D against Austria , Georgia , Moldova , Serbia and Wales . On 12 November 2016 , Ireland beat Austria in Vienna to go top of the 2018 World Cup qualifying group . On 9 October 2017 , Ireland defeated Wales 1 -- 0 in Cardiff to qualify for the qualification play - offs . They went on to play Denmark in the play - offs . In the first leg of the play - offs on 11 November , Ireland drew 0 -- 0 against Denmark in Copenhagen . In the second leg on 14 November in Dublin , Ireland lost 5 -- 1 to Denmark after taking to the lead in the game . Team image ( edit ) Kit ( edit ) Ireland players ( L-R ) Robbie Keane , Liam Lawrence , Keith Andrews and Greg Cunningham in a 2010 friendly against Algeria Traditionally , the team has played in a home strip of green shirt , white shorts and green socks . The second strip is usually the reverse of these colours , although there have been exceptions , such as an orange shirt in the late 1990s . Squad numbers are either white with an orange trim , on the home shirts , or green with an orange trim . The FAI logo appears at the bottom of the numbering . A limited edition grey shirt was used just once , in a match against Wales on 17 November 2007 . A black jersey with a green stripe across the chest was worn in the final game of the 2011 Nations Cup against Scotland and in a friendly against Italy in Liège , Belgium . The current kit has been supplied by Umbro since 1994 . In March 2009 , Umbro signed a deal with the FAI to keep them as kit suppliers to the team until 2020 . However New Balance will take over the contract from August 2017 .

The ground was closed for redevelopment in 2007 , with the replacement ground , the Aviva Stadium , opening on 14 May 2010 . The first soccer match in the Aviva was Manchester United against a League of Ireland XI side , managed by Damien Richardson , on 4 August 2010. ( 43 ) Manchester United won the game 7 -- 1 , with Park Ji - Sung scoring the first ever goal in the Aviva Stadium . Aviva Stadium is jointly owned by the IRFU and FAI , although it will return to solely IRFU ownership on expiry of the current 60 - year lease . The first football international played at Lansdowne Road by a FAI team was a friendly against Italy in 1971 ( an IFA team first played in 1878 against England ) ; a 5 -- 0 victory over San Marino in a UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying Group D match on 15 November 2006 was the last game there before the reconstruction . The all - seater capacity of Lansdowne Road prior to the renovation was 36,000 , although higher attendances , using the standing only areas , were permitted for friendly matches . The Aviva Stadium 's status as an all - seater increased capacity for competitive games to 51,700 . The opening game at the Aviva Stadium , a controversial 1 -- 0 friendly defeat to Argentina , was noted for Robbie Keane securing his membership in the FIFA Century Club and manager Giovanni Trapattoni 's absence due to surgery , with assistant manager Marco Tardelli taking charge . Croke Park , the headquarters of the Gaelic Athletic Association , has been used for Irish matches . With the announcement of the rebuilding of Lansdowne Road , a new venue was required to stage the Republic of Ireland 's home internationals . The only stadium in Ireland deemed suitable to stage international football was the 84,500 capacity Croke Park , home of the Gaelic Athletic Association ( GAA ) . To accommodate this , the GAA temporarily relaxed its rule governing the playing of `` foreign '' games on its property . Initially , four UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying Group D matches were played at Croke Park in 2007 , resulting in two wins and two draws . The GAA initially agreed to allow the FAI use until the end of 2008 , and later extended the permission until the completion of Aviva Stadium . The Hill 16 end of Croke Park is a terrace , which means like Lansdowne Road before it , the capacity of the stadium was reduced to around 74,500 for competitive matches as temporary seating must be used . Prior to the 1980s , the Republic of Ireland played most home games at Dalymount Park , home of Bohemians , but progressively more games were played at Lansdowne Road following a safety review which reduced Dalymount 's capacity . The last international match played there was against Morocco in 1990 . The Republic of Ireland have also played home matches in Tolka Park ( twice ) and the RDS Arena in Dublin as well at the Mardyke and Flower Lodge grounds in Cork . These games in Cork were , until 2009 , the only two home Irish internationals played outside of Dublin . During the construction of the Aviva Stadium , two friendly games were played in Thomond Park , Limerick , in 2009 . Two further friendlies were played in the RDS Arena in May 2010 . Ireland played a friendly against Belarus in Cork 's 7,000 capacity Turners Cross stadium in May 2016 . Media coverage ( edit ) Ireland matches are broadcast by Raidió Teilifís Éireann ( RTÉ ) , Sky Sports , and Setanta Ireland . Sky Sports shows most of Irelands friendly matches , while RTÉ shows competitive games such as World Cup and European Championship qualifiers . RTÉ briefly lost its broadcast rights in 2002 when the FAI controversially sold them in a multi-million deal to Sky Sports , a subscription based satellite channel . The decision was criticised by fans and politicians , and the Consumers ' Association of Ireland ( CAI ) described the FAI as `` greedy '' . The FAI was eventually forced to reverse its decision and to allow RTÉ to continue its broadcasts after the government intervened to stop the sale of important Irish sporting events to non-terrestrial television broadcasters . RTÉ will hold the rights until 2018 . Selection and nationality issues ( edit ) The selection of young Northern Irish born players , especially those who have already represented Northern Ireland at youth level , into Republic of Ireland national teams has been controversial , as these players are able to claim Irish nationality even though born and brought up outside the Republic 's territory . This has led to accusations of unfairness and predatory behaviour . In Northern Ireland it is seen by Northern Ireland supporters as having the effect of dividing international football in their country along sectarian lines , whereby Nationalists will declare for the Republic of Ireland while Unionists continue to play for Northern Ireland . It has also been argued that it is actually the sectarian divisions , which already existed in Northern Irish football , that are a factor in a number of players switching to the Republic . Traditionally , those in the North who identify as Irish , predominantly Catholics and nationalists , support the Republic of Ireland team .

Ireland did not qualify for a European Championship until Euro 1988 . On 12 June 1988 in Stuttgart , the Irish team took to the pitch in its first match at a major championship finals against England . Ray Houghton of Liverpool scored the only goal of the match as Ireland recorded a memorable and historic victory . The game is fondly remembered in Irish folklore through the song `` Joxer goes to Stuttgart '' by Irish folk legend Christy Moore . Ireland took on the former Soviet Union next and took the lead late in the first half via a spectacular volley from Liverpool 's Ronnie Whelan . Unfortunately for both Whelan and Ireland the lead was cancelled out midway through the second half by Oleh Protasov as the match ended in a 1 -- 1 draw . In their final match , Ireland lost out to the Netherlands 1 -- 0 . It was not until 2011 that Ireland clinched a place at another European Championship , qualifying for Euro 2012 with a 5 -- 1 aggregate victory over Estonia . At the tournament itself , however , Ireland lost all three of its matches and conceded nine goals , the nation 's worst performance in a major tournament to date . Ireland qualified to Euro 2016 following a play - off victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina . In the group stages they drew 1 -- 1 with Sweden , having initially taken the lead through a Wes Hoolahan strike , before being beaten 3 -- 0 by Belgium in the following game . However , a 1 -- 0 victory over Italy in their final game , courtesy of a late header from Robbie Brady , earned the side a spot in the round of 16 , the first time the team had ever advanced from the group stage at a European Championship . In the round of 16 , Ireland faced the hosts France and , after taking an early lead through a Brady penalty , were beaten 2 -- 1 .

His maternal grandfather , `` High Chief '' Peter Maivia , was also a wrestler , and his maternal grandmother , Lia Maivia , was one of wrestling 's few female promoters , taking over Polynesian Pacific Pro Wrestling after her husband 's death in 1982 until 1988 . Johnson 's father is Canadian , a Black Nova Scotian , while his mother is of Samoan descent . His father was part of the first black tag team to win the World Tag Team Championship in the World Wrestling Federation ( WWF ) . Through his mother , he is considered a non-blood relative of the Anoa'i wrestling family . His cousin , Savelina Fanene , is also a wrestler currently working for WWE . Johnson briefly lived in the suburb of Grey Lynn in Auckland , New Zealand with his mother 's family . He attended Richmond Road Primary School , before returning to the United States with his parents . He spent 10th grade at President William McKinley High School in Honolulu , Hawaii . As he entered 11th grade , his father 's job required his relocation to Bethlehem , Pennsylvania , where Dwayne began playing football at Freedom High School in the East Penn Conference . He was also a member of the school 's track and field and wrestling teams . Johnson was a promising football prospect and received offers from many Division I collegiate programs . He decided on a full scholarship from the University of Miami , playing defensive tackle . In 1991 , he was on the Miami Hurricanes 's national championship team . When an injury sidelined him , he was replaced by future National Football League ( NFL ) star Warren Sapp . While attending Miami , Johnson met his future wife , Dany Garcia , who graduated from the university in 1992 and later became a member of its Board of Trustees . She also founded a Miami - based wealth management firm . In 2006 , the couple donated $2 million to build a living room at the University 's Newman Alumni Center . Johnson graduated from Miami in 1995 with a Bachelor of General Studies degree in criminology and physiology . He joined the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League in 1995 . He was on the practice roster as a backup linebacker but was cut two months into the season . On November 10 , 2007 , Johnson returned to the Miami Orange Bowl to participate in the festivities surrounding the University of Miami 's last home football game at the stadium . Professional Wrestling career Training ( 1995 -- 1996 ) Like his father and grandfather , several of Johnson 's other ( non-blood ) relatives are or were professional wrestlers , including his uncles , Afa and Sika Anoaʻi ( The Wild Samoans ) and his cousins , Rodney ( Yokozuna ) , Solofa ( Rikishi ) , Matt ( Rosey ) and Eddie ( Umaga ) . When Johnson declared his intent to become a wrestler , his father initially resisted , but then agreed to train him himself , warning that he would not go easy on him . Veteran wrestler Pat Patterson got Johnson several tryout matches with the World Wrestling Federation ( WWF ) in 1996 . Under his real name , he defeated The Brooklyn Brawler at a house show and lost the other matches to Chris Candido and Owen Hart . After wrestling at Jerry Lawler 's United States Wrestling Association as Flex Kavana and winning the USWA World Tag Team Championship twice with Bart Sawyer in the summer of 1996 , Johnson signed a WWF contract . He received additional training from Tom Prichard , alongside Achim Albrecht and Mark Henry . World Wrestling Federation / Entertainment Intercontinental Champion ( 1996 -- 1997 ) Johnson made his WWF debut as Rocky Maivia , a combination of his father and grandfather 's ring names , although his real name was acknowledged by the announcers . He was initially reluctant to take this ring name but was persuaded by Vince McMahon and Jim Ross . He was given the nickname `` The Blue Chipper '' and his lineage was played to on TV , where he was hyped as the WWF 's first third - generation wrestler . Maivia , a clean - cut face character , was pushed heavily from the start despite his wrestling inexperience . He debuted on Monday Night Raw as a member of Marc Mero 's entourage on November 4 , 1996 and had his first match at Survivor Series on November 17 , in an eight - man elimination tag match ; he was the sole survivor by single - handedly eliminating Crush and Goldust . WWF fans generally rejected him because of his cheesy character . On February 13 , 1997 , he won the Intercontinental Championship from Hunter Hearst Helmsley on Monday Night Raw . Maivia successfully defended the title at In Your House 13 : Final Four against Hunter Hearst Helmsley and at WrestleMania 13 against The Sultan . He defeated Bret Hart by disqualification in a title defense on March 31 episode of Raw is War . On April 20 at In Your House 14 : Revenge of the ' Taker , he lost to Savio Vega by countout , retaining the title for the final time . Audiences became increasingly hostile toward Maivia , with chants of `` Die , Rocky , die ! '' and `` Rocky sucks ! '' being heard during his matches . The Nation of Domination ( 1997 -- 1998 ) Main article : Nation of Domination As part of the Nation of Domination , The Rock won the Intercontinental Championship for a second time and held it for 265 days After losing the Intercontinental Championship to Owen Hart on the April 28 , 1997 episode of Raw Is War and suffering a legitimate knee injury in a match against Mankind , Maivia returned in August 1997 and turned heel by joining Faarooq , D'Lo Brown and Kama in the stable called the Nation of Domination . During this time , he refused to acknowledge the Rocky Maivia name , instead referring to himself in the third person as The Rock , though he would still be billed as Rocky `` The Rock '' Maivia until 1998 . As The Rock , he insulted the audience in his promos as well as WWF television interviewers , once calling Kevin Kelly an `` ugly hermaphrodite '' . At D - Generation X : In Your House , Stone Cold Steve Austin defeated The Rock in under six minutes to retain the Intercontinental Championship . The next night on Raw Is War , Austin was ordered by Mr. McMahon to defend the title in a rematch , but forfeited it to The Rock instead , handing him the title belt before hitting him with the Stone Cold Stunner . The Rock feuded with Austin and Ken Shamrock through the end of 1997 and beginning of 1998 . On the March 30 episode of Raw is War , The Rock debuted a new Intercontinental Championship belt which was used to represent the title until October 2 , 2011 , when the previous design was reused . Later that night , The Rock would also overthrow Faarooq as leader of the Nation of Domination to spark a feud between the two and successfully defended the Intercontinental title against Faarooq at Over the Edge : In Your House on May 31 , 1998 . The Rock and The Nation then feuded with Triple H and D - Generation X ( DX ) , with the two stable leaders first meeting in the quarter - final of the 1998 King of the Ring tournament , which The Rock won . At King of the Ring , The Rock defeated Dan Severn in the semi-final match and lost to rival Ken Shamrock in the final . The Rock then resumed his feud with Triple H , as the two had a two out of three falls match at Fully Loaded : In Your House for the Intercontinental title , which The Rock retained in controversial fashion . This led to a ladder match at SummerSlam , in which Triple H won the title . At Breakdown : In Your House , The Rock defeated Ken Shamrock and Mankind in a triple threat steel cage match to become the number one contender for the WWF Championship . The Rock then feuded with fellow Nation member Mark Henry , effectively breaking up the stable . The Corporation ( 1998 -- 1999 ) Main article : The Corporation As part of The Corporation , The Rock feuded with Stone Cold Steve Austin and stole Austin 's personalized WWF Championship , the Smoking Skull belt The Rock 's entertaining promos and ensuing popularity led to a face turn , in which he called himself `` The People 's Champion '' . This led to a feud with Mr. McMahon , who said he had `` a problem with the people '' and would thus target `` The People 's Champion '' . A double turn occurred at Survivor Series , when The Rock defeated McMahon 's associate , Mankind , in the finals of the `` Deadly Game '' tournament for the vacant WWF Championship in a fashion reminiscent of the Montreal Screwjob . The Rock allied with Vince and Shane McMahon as the crown jewel of their stable , The Corporation . On December 13 , 1998 at the pay - per - view named for him , Rock Bottom : In Your House , The Rock had a rematch with Mankind for the WWF Championship . Mankind appeared to win the match when The Rock passed out in the Mandible Claw submission move , but Mr. McMahon ruled that since The Rock did not tap out , he retained his title . The Rock continued to feud with Mankind over the WWF Championship , which was traded back and forth between them . First , in the main event of the January 4 , 1999 episode of Raw Is War , Mankind defeated The Rock after interference from Stone Cold Steve Austin . Then , in an `` I Quit '' match at Royal Rumble on January 24 , The Rock regained the title , when a recording of Mankind saying `` I quit '' from an earlier interview was played over the PA system . On Halftime Heat ( an episode of Sunday Night Heat aired in the same timeslot as the Super Bowl XXXIII halftime show ) on January 31 , Mankind pinned The Rock using a forklift truck in an empty arena match . The two faced off again at St. Valentine 's Day Massacre : In Your House in a last man standing match which ended in a draw , meaning Mankind retained the title . Their feud ended on February 15 Raw Is War , when The Rock won his third WWF Championship in a ladder match after Big Show performed a chokeslam on Mankind off the ladder . The Rock lost the WWF Championship to Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania XV . Though he was a villain , his amusing verbal skills led many fans to cheer The Rock , who then lost the title rematch at Backlash : In Your House and was thus betrayed by Shane McMahon , turning him back into a fan favorite and beginning a feud with Triple H , The Undertaker and The Corporate Ministry that saw The Rock defeating Triple H at Over the Edge , but then losing to WWF Champion The Undertaker at King of the Ring . The Rock lost a number one contender 's match to Triple H at Fully Loaded after interference from Mr. Ass . This sparked a feud with Mr. Ass , culminating in a Kiss My Ass match at SummerSlam , which The Rock won . Record - breaking WWE Champion ( 1999 -- 2002 ) See also : The Rock ' n ' Sock Connection and The Invasion ( professional wrestling ) Toward the latter part of 1999 , The Rock had several singles and tag team championship opportunities , teaming former enemy Mankind as The Rock ' n ' Sock Connection after he challenged WWF Tag Team Champions The Undertaker and Big Show and Mankind offered his help . They won the title for the first of three times . The two performed numerous comedic skits together , including one on Raw Is War called `` This Is Your Life '' ( based on the TV show ) , in which Mankind produced people from The Rock 's past , such as his high school girlfriend and his high school football coach . The segment earned an 8.4 Nielsen rating , one of the highest ratings ever for a Raw segment . The Rock 's popularity was fueled by his charisma and speaking abilities , which led to many catchphrases and merchandising opportunities . At Royal Rumble on January 23 , 2000 , The Rock entered the Royal Rumble match and was one of the final two remaining , along with Big Show ; Show seemingly intended to throw The Rock over the top rope in a running powerslam - like position , but Rock countered the move on the ring apron , sending Big Show to the floor before re-entering the ring as the winner . However , The Rock 's feet hit the floor first , although those watching the event on TV did not see that , until Big Show proved this with additional video footage , and claimed to be the rightful winner . Despite this proof , the original decision could not be reversed , so a number one contender 's match for the WWF Championship was held at No Way Out , which Big Show won after Shane McMahon interfered and hit The Rock in the head with a steel chair as he attempted to execute a People 's Elbow . The Rock defeated Big Show on March 13 episode of Raw Is War to regain the right to face the WWF Champion , Triple H , at WrestleMania 2000 in a fatal four - way elimination match , also including Big Show and Mick Foley . Each wrestler had a McMahon in his corner : Triple H had his wife , Stephanie , Foley had Linda , The Rock had Vince and Big Show had Shane . Triple H retained the title after Vince betrayed The Rock by hitting him with a chair . The Rock as the WWF Champion in 2000 In the following weeks , The Rock continued his feud with Triple H and eventually won his fourth WWF Championship , which he won on April 30 at Backlash after Stone Cold Steve Austin intervened on his behalf . On May 21 at Judgment Day , The Rock and Triple H faced in an Iron Man match with Shawn Michaels as the special guest referee . With the score tied at five falls each and with seconds left on the time limit The Rock was disqualified when The Undertaker attacked Triple H , thus giving Triple H the 6 -- 5 win and the title . The next night on Raw Is War , The Rock got his revenge by taking out the entire McMahon - Helmsley Faction with The Undertaker 's help . The Rock won the WWF Championship for a fifth time at King of the Ring on June 25 by scoring the winning pin in a six - man tag team match , teaming with Kane and The Undertaker against Shane McMahon , Triple H and Vince McMahon , whom he pinned . The Rock successfully defended the championship against Chris Benoit at Fully Loaded on July 23 , Kurt Angle and Triple H at SummerSlam on August 27 and Benoit , Kane and The Undertaker at Unforgiven on September 24 . The Rock lost the WWF Championship to Angle at No Mercy in October . Around this time , The Rock feuded with Rikishi and defeated him at Survivor Series .

On December 18 on Raw , The Rock won the WWF Tag Team Championship with The Undertaker , defeating Edge and Christian , then losing it back to them the next night at a SmackDown ! taping . In 2001 , The Rock continued to feud with Angle over the WWF Championship , culminating at No Way Out in February , where he pinned Angle to win the WWF Championship for a sixth time . The Rock then feuded with the Royal Rumble winner , Stone Cold Steve Austin , whom he lost the title at WrestleMania X-Seven after Austin allied with Mr. McMahon , who interfered on his behalf . On the next night 's Raw Is War , during a steel cage title rematch , Triple H came to the ring with a sledgehammer and it seemed he would help The Rock , because of the rivalry between Austin and Triple H ( and an argument with McMahon earlier in the night ) , but he attacked him instead , allying with McMahon and Austin . Austin and Triple H formed a tag team called The Power Trip , while The Rock was indefinitely suspended . Johnson used this time off to act in the movie The Mummy Returns . The Rock taunting Rob Van Dam at ringside The Rock returned to the WWF in late July 2001 and had to decide whether to join the WWF or The Alliance ( a group of former WCW and ECW wrestlers ) during The Invasion , eventually siding with the WWF . At SummerSlam , The Rock defeated Booker T to win the WCW Championship . He lost the title to Chris Jericho at No Mercy . The next night on Raw , he teamed with Jericho to win the WWF Tag Team Championship from The Dudley Boyz . The Rock during WrestleMania X8 before facing `` Hollywood '' Hulk Hogan The Rock defeated Jericho on November 5 episode of Raw for his second WCW Championship , which was renamed to World Championship . As part of the WWF 's battle against The Alliance , The Rock wrestled in a `` winner takes all '' ten - man elimination match at Survivor Series . In the end , it came down to a one - on - one with Steve Austin ( who had recently joined The Alliance ) . The Rock seemed to have the upper hand , until Jericho ( a member of Team WWF , who was eliminated a few minutes earlier ) , entered the ring and attacked The Rock . Austin tried to capitalize on this by pinning The Rock , but Kurt Angle , a Team Alliance member , revealed his true allegiance by hitting Austin in the head with a title belt . The Rock then pinned Austin , forcing The Alliance to disband . The Rock closed out 2001 by losing the World Championship at Vengeance to Chris Jericho , who would unify the WWF and WCW titles later that night . The Rock unsuccessfully challenged Jericho for the now Undisputed WWF Championship at Royal Rumble , but defeated The Undertaker at No Way Out . Three weeks before WrestleMania , The Rock headlined WWE 's Asian tour to Japan , Singapore and Malaysia . The first show was in Yokahama Arena and had sold 18,000 tickets in sixty minutes . Jericho , who was booked to face him for all three shows , said he brought out the best in him and described his reaction as `` one of the loudest I 'd ever heard in my career . It was as if Elvis had joined The Beatles and all of them were wearing Godzilla costumes '' . He then feuded with the New World Order , after challenging Hollywood Hulk Hogan to a match at WrestleMania X8 . The match was billed as icon versus icon , with both men representing the top tier of two generations of wrestling ; ultimately Rock pinned Hogan at WrestleMania X8 . After the nWo turned on Hogan for losing the match , The Rock allied with him and was drafted to the SmackDown ! brand , becoming the first WWF wrestler to be drafted in the WWF draft lottery before taking a short sabbatical from wrestling . When he returned , The Rock won his then record - breaking seventh WWF / WWE Championship ( which had been renamed the WWE Undisputed Championship after the WWF was renamed to WWE in May 2002 ) at Vengeance on July 21 , defeating Kurt Angle and The Undertaker in a triple threat match . The Rock successfully defended the title at Global Warning in Australia against Triple H and Brock Lesnar by pinning Triple H , who saved The Rock when Lesnar attacked him after the match . At SummerSlam on August 25 , after interference from Lesnar 's manager Paul Heyman and the use of a steel chair , The Rock lost the WWE Championship to Lesnar along with the record for the youngest WWE Champion , which he had set in 1998 . Following the loss against Lesnar , The Rock publicly declared that whether or not the crowd booed him he would always be the People 's Champion , criticizing the fans in the arena and again taking a sabbatical from wrestling in order to focus on his film career . Final feuds and departure ( 2003 -- 2004 ) The Rock defeated Stone Cold Austin in the latter 's final match at WrestleMania XIX in March 2003 The Rock returned on January 30 , 2003 , episode of SmackDown ! to publicly criticize Hulk Hogan and make it clear that because of the success of his Hollywood career , WWE was no longer a priority and thus reestablishing him as a villain for the first time since 1999 . Rock defeated Hogan again at No Way Out and drafted himself to the Raw brand where he had various feuds , including one with The Hurricane . He also performed `` Rock concerts '' , segments in which he played the guitar and mocked the show 's host city . After failing to win number one contendership for the World Heavyweight Championship , The Rock turned his attention to Steve Austin who , to The Rock 's chagrin , had been chosen as `` Superstar of the Decade '' . This led to a match at WrestleMania XIX , which called back to their previous two WrestleMania encounters , both of which Austin had won . The Rock won after delivering three consecutive Rock Bottoms , ending their long - running feud in what turned out to be Austin 's final match . The next night , Raw was billed as `` The Rock Appreciation Night '' , in honour of his victory over Austin . That night , he was attacked by a debuting Goldberg . At Backlash , Goldberg defeated The Rock , who then left WWE as an active wrestler to focus on his film career .

In April 2017 , Johnson 's upcoming production schedule was announced that filming for Rampage had begun , and that Jungle Cruise will begin filming in early 2018 .

The new layout will feature at all Walt Disney Parks and Resorts locations worldwide . That same month , the first spin - off to The Fast and the Furious franchise was reported to feature Johnson and Jason Statham 's characters teaming up for a mission with franchise screenwriter Chris Morgan signed on to write the script .

The University of Miami renamed the Hurricanes ' locker room in Johnson 's honor . Personal Life Dany Garcia and Johnson at the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival Because his mother , Ata Fitisemanu Maivia , is a descendant of Samoan chiefs , and in recognition of his service to the Samoan people , Malietoa Tanumafili II bestowed upon Johnson the noble title of Seiuli during his visit there in July 2004 .

when did the rock first appear in fast and furious
[ "Johnson appeared in Fast Five (2011), the fifth film of The Fast and the Furious film series, as DSS agent Luke Hobbs, who is assigned to hunt down the series' protagonists. He landed the role after series star Vin Diesel read comments and feedback from fans, the majority of whom wanted to see Diesel and Johnson in a movie together. Johnson, a fan of the franchise, had wanted to work with Universal Studios again after they had given him his first film roles. Fast Five grossed over $86 million in its opening weekend, the biggest opening for a Fast & Furious film, the biggest opening for an April release,[237] and the biggest opening for a Johnson movie.[238] Johnson starred in the adventure sequel film Journey 2: The Mysterious Island (2012) and headlined the action drama film Snitch (2013), based on a true story, which opened to mixed reviews; however, Johnson's performance was praised." ]

Louisiana Purchase
Louisiana Purchase - wikipedia Louisiana Purchase For other uses , see Louisiana Purchase ( disambiguation ) . Louisiana Purchase Vente de la Louisiane Expansion of the United States ← 1803 -- 1804 → → The modern United States , with Louisiana Purchase overlay History Established July 4 , 1803 Disestablished October 1 , 1804 Today part of United States Canada The Louisiana Purchase ( French : Vente de la Louisiane `` Sale of Louisiana '' ) was the acquisition of the Louisiana territory ( 828,000 square miles or 2.14 million km2 ) by the United States from France in 1803 . The U.S. paid fifty million francs ( $11,250,000 ) and a cancellation of debts worth eighteen million francs ( $3,750,000 ) for a total of sixty - eight million francs ( $15 million , equivalent to $300 million in 2016 ) . The Louisiana territory included land from fifteen present U.S. states and two Canadian provinces . The territory contained land that forms Arkansas , Missouri , Iowa , Oklahoma , Kansas , and Nebraska ; the portion of Minnesota west of the Mississippi River ; a large portion of North Dakota ; a large portion of South Dakota ; the northeastern section of New Mexico ; the northern portion of Texas ; the area of Montana , Wyoming , and Colorado east of the Continental Divide ; Louisiana west of the Mississippi River ( plus New Orleans ) ; and small portions of land within the present Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan . Its non-native population was around 60,000 inhabitants , of whom half were African slaves . The Kingdom of France controlled the Louisiana territory from 1699 until it was ceded to Spain in 1762 . In 1800 , Napoleon , then the First Consul of the French Republic , hoping to re-establish an empire in North America , regained ownership of Louisiana . However , France 's failure to put down the revolt in Saint - Domingue , coupled with the prospect of renewed warfare with the United Kingdom , prompted Napoleon to sell Louisiana to the United States to fund his military . The Americans originally sought to purchase only the port city of New Orleans and its adjacent coastal lands , but quickly accepted the bargain . The Louisiana Purchase occurred during the term of the third President of the United States , Thomas Jefferson . Before the purchase was finalized , the decision faced Federalist Party opposition ; they argued that it was unconstitutional to acquire any territory . Jefferson agreed that the U.S. Constitution did not contain explicit provisions for acquiring territory , but he asserted that his constitutional power to negotiate treaties was sufficient .

It was controlled by the French , who had a few small settlements along the Mississippi and other main rivers . France ceded the territory to Spain in the secret Treaty of Fontainebleau ( 1762 ) . Following French defeat in the Seven Years ' War , Spain gained control of the territory west of the Mississippi and the British the territory to the east of the river . Following the establishment of the United States , the Americans controlled the area east of the Mississippi and north of New Orleans . The main issue for the Americans was free transit of the Mississippi to the sea . As the lands were being gradually settled by a few American migrants , many Americans , including Jefferson , assumed that the territory would be acquired `` piece by piece . '' The risk of another power taking it from a weakened Spain made a `` profound reconsideration '' of this policy necessary . New Orleans was already important for shipping agricultural goods to and from the areas of the United States west of the Appalachian Mountains . Pinckney 's Treaty , signed with Spain on October 27 , 1795 , gave American merchants `` right of deposit '' in New Orleans , granting them use of the port to store goods for export . Americans used this right to transport products such as flour , tobacco , pork , bacon , lard , feathers , cider , butter , and cheese . The treaty also recognized American rights to navigate the entire Mississippi , which had become vital to the growing trade of the western territories . In 1798 , Spain revoked the treaty allowing American use of New Orleans , greatly upsetting Americans . In 1801 , Spanish Governor Don Juan Manuel de Salcedo took over from the Marquess of Casa Calvo , and restored the American right to deposit goods . However , in 1800 Spain had ceded the Louisiana territory back to France as part of Napoleon 's secret Third Treaty of San Ildefonso . The territory nominally remained under Spanish control , until a transfer of power to France on November 30 , 1803 , just three weeks before the formal cession of the territory to the United States on December 20 , 1803 . A further ceremony was held in St. Louis , Upper Louisiana regarding the New Orleans formalities . The March 9 -- 10 , 1804 event is remembered as Three Flags Day . James Monroe and Robert R. Livingston had traveled to Paris to negotiate the purchase of New Orleans in January 1803 . Their instructions were to negotiate or purchase control of New Orleans and its environs ; they did not anticipate the much larger acquisition which would follow . The Louisiana Purchase was by far the largest territorial gain in U.S. history . Stretching from the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains , the purchase doubled the size of the United States . Before 1803 , Louisiana had been under Spanish control for forty years . Although Spain aided the rebels in the American Revolutionary War , the Spanish did n't want the Americans to settle in their territory . Although the purchase was thought of by some as unjust and unconstitutional , Jefferson determined that his constitutional power to negotiate treaties allowed the purchase of what became fifteen states . In hindsight , the Louisiana Purchase could be considered one of his greatest contributions to the United States . On April 18 , 1802 , Jefferson penned a letter to United States Ambassador to France Robert Livingston . It was an intentional exhortation to make this supposedly mild diplomat strongly warn the French of their perilous course . The letter began : The cession of Louisiana and the Floridas by Spain to France works most sorely on the U.S. On this subject the Secretary of State has written to you fully . Yet I can not forbear recurring to it personally , so deep is the impression it makes in my mind . It completely reverses all the political relations of the U.S. and will form a new epoch in our political course . Of all nations of any consideration France is the one which hitherto has offered the fewest points on which we could have any conflict of right , and the most points of a communion of interests . From these causes we have ever looked to her as our natural friend , as one with which we never could have an occasion of difference . Her growth therefore we viewed as our own , her misfortunes ours . There is on the globe one single spot , the possessor of which is our natural and habitual enemy . It is New Orleans , through which the produce of three - eighths of our territory must pass to market , and from its fertility it will ere long yield more than half of our whole produce and contain more than half our inhabitants . France placing herself in that door assumes to us the attitude of defiance . Spain might have retained it quietly for years . Her pacific dispositions , her feeble state , would induce her to increase our facilities there , so that her possession of the place would be hardly felt by us , and it would not perhaps be very long before some circumstance might arise which might make the cession of it to us the price of something of more worth to her . Not so can it ever be in the hands of France . The impetuosity of her temper , the energy and restlessness of her character , placed in a point of eternal friction with us ... Jefferson 's letter went on with the same heat to a much quoted passage about `` the day that France takes possession of New Orleans . '' Not only did he say that day would be a low point in France 's history , for it would seal America 's marriage with the British fleet and nation , but he added , astonishingly , that it would start a massive shipbuilding program . Negotiation While the transfer of the territory by Spain back to France in 1800 went largely unnoticed , fear of an eventual French invasion spread nationwide when , in 1801 , Napoleon sent a military force to secure New Orleans . Southerners feared that Napoleon would free all the slaves in Louisiana , which could trigger slave uprisings elsewhere . Though Jefferson urged moderation , Federalists sought to use this against Jefferson and called for hostilities against France . Undercutting them , Jefferson took up the banner and threatened an alliance with the United Kingdom , although relations were uneasy in that direction . In 1801 Jefferson supported France in its plan to take back Saint - Domingue ( present - day Haiti ) , which was then under control of Toussaint Louverture after a slave rebellion . Jefferson sent Livingston to Paris in 1801 after discovering the transfer of Louisiana from Spain to France under the Third Treaty of San Ildefonso . Livingston was authorized to purchase New Orleans . In January 1802 , France sent General Charles Leclerc to Saint - Domingue ( present - day Haiti ) to re-establish slavery , which had been abolished by the constitution of the French Republic of 1795 , as well as to reduce the rights of free people of color and take back control of the island from Toussaint Louverture . Louverture had fended off invasions of St. Domingue by the Spanish and British empires , but had also begun to consolidate power for himself on the island . Before the Revolution , France had derived enormous wealth from St. Domingue at the cost of the lives and freedom of the slaves . Napoleon wanted its revenues and productivity for France restored . Alarmed over the French actions and its intention to re-establish an empire in North America , Jefferson declared neutrality in relation to the Caribbean , refusing credit and other assistance to the French , but allowing war contraband to get through to the rebels to prevent France from regaining a foothold . In November 1803 , France withdrew its 7,000 surviving troops from Saint - Domingue ( more than two - thirds of its troops died there ) and gave up its ambitions in the Western Hemisphere . In 1804 Haiti declared its independence ; but , fearing a slave revolt at home , Jefferson and Congress refused to recognize the new republic , the second in the Western Hemisphere , and imposed a trade embargo against it . This , together with later claims by France to reconquer Haiti , encouraged by the United Kingdom , made it more difficult for Haiti to recover after ten years of wars . In 1803 , Pierre Samuel du Pont de Nemours , a French nobleman , began to help negotiate with France at the request of Jefferson . Du Pont was living in the United States at the time and had close ties to Jefferson as well as the prominent politicians in France . He engaged in back - channel diplomacy with Napoleon on Jefferson 's behalf during a visit to France and originated the idea of the much larger Louisiana Purchase as a way to defuse potential conflict between the United States and Napoleon over North America . Jefferson disliked the idea of purchasing Louisiana from France , as that could imply that France had a right to be in Louisiana . Jefferson had concerns that a U.S. president did not have the constitutional authority to make such a deal . He also thought that to do so would erode states ' rights by increasing federal executive power . On the other hand , he was aware of the potential threat that France could be in that region and was prepared to go to war to prevent a strong French presence there . Throughout this time , Jefferson had up - to - date intelligence on Napoleon 's military activities and intentions in North America . Part of his evolving strategy involved giving du Pont some information that was withheld from Livingston . He also gave intentionally conflicting instructions to the two . Desperate to avoid possible war with France , Jefferson sent James Monroe to Paris in 1803 to negotiate a settlement , with instructions to go to London to negotiate an alliance if the talks in Paris failed . Spain procrastinated until late 1802 in executing the treaty to transfer Louisiana to France , which allowed American hostility to build . Also , Spain 's refusal to cede Florida to France meant that Louisiana would be indefensible . Monroe had been formally expelled from France on his last diplomatic mission , and the choice to send him again conveyed a sense of seriousness . Napoleon needed peace with the United Kingdom to implement the Treaty of San Ildefonso and take possession of Louisiana . Otherwise , Louisiana would be an easy prey for the UK or even for the United States . But in early 1803 , continuing war between France and the UK seemed unavoidable . On March 11 , 1803 , Napoleon began preparing to invade the UK . As Napoleon had failed to re-enslave the emancipated population of Haiti , he abandoned his plans to rebuild France 's New World empire . Without sufficient revenues from sugar colonies in the Caribbean , Louisiana had little value to him . Spain had not yet completed the transfer of Louisiana to France , and war between France and the UK was imminent . Out of anger towards Spain and the unique opportunity to sell something that was useless and not truly his yet , Napoleon decided to sell the entire territory . Although the foreign minister Talleyrand opposed the plan , on April 10 , 1803 , Napoleon told the Treasury Minister François de Barbé - Marbois that he was considering selling the entire Louisiana Territory to the United States . On April 11 , 1803 , just days before Monroe 's arrival , Barbé - Marbois offered Livingston all of Louisiana for $15 million , ( equivalent to about $300 million in 2016 dollars , ) which averages to less than three cents per acre ( 7 ¢ / ha ) . The American representatives were prepared to pay up to $10 million for New Orleans and its environs , but were dumbfounded when the vastly larger territory was offered for $15 million . Jefferson had authorized Livingston only to purchase New Orleans . However , Livingston was certain that the United States would accept the offer . The Americans thought that Napoleon might withdraw the offer at any time , preventing the United States from acquiring New Orleans , so they agreed and signed the Louisiana Purchase Treaty on April 30 , 1803 . On July 4 , 1803 , the treaty was announced , but the documents did not arrive in Washington , D.C. until July 14 . The Louisiana Territory was vast , stretching from the Gulf of Mexico in the south to Rupert 's Land in the north , and from the Mississippi River in the east to the Rocky Mountains in the west . Acquiring the territory would double the size of the United States , at a sum of less than 3 cents per acre . Domestic opposition and constitutionality The original treaty of the Louisiana Purchase Henry Adams and other historians have argued that Jefferson acted hypocritically with the Louisiana Purchase , due to his position as a strict constructionist regarding the Constitution since he stretched the intent of that document to justify his purchase . This argument goes as follows : The American purchase of the Louisiana territory was not accomplished without domestic opposition . Jefferson 's philosophical consistency was in question because of his strict interpretation of the Constitution . Many people believed that he and others , including James Madison , were doing something they surely would have argued against with Alexander Hamilton . The Federalists strongly opposed the purchase , favoring close relations with Britain over closer ties to Napoleon , and were concerned that the United States had paid a large sum of money just to declare war on Spain . Both Federalists and Jeffersonians were concerned over the purchase 's constitutionality . Many members of the House of Representatives opposed the purchase . Majority Leader John Randolph led the opposition . The House called for a vote to deny the request for the purchase , but it failed by two votes , 59 -- 57 . The Federalists even tried to prove the land belonged to Spain , not France , but available records proved otherwise . The Federalists also feared that the power of the Atlantic seaboard states would be threatened by the new citizens in the West , whose political and economic priorities were bound to conflict with those of the merchants and bankers of New England . There was also concern that an increase in the number of slave - holding states created out of the new territory would exacerbate divisions between North and South as well . A group of Northern Federalists led by Senator Timothy Pickering of Massachusetts went so far as to explore the idea of a separate northern confederacy . Another concern was whether it was proper to grant citizenship to the French , Spanish , and free black people living in New Orleans , as the treaty would dictate . Critics in Congress worried whether these `` foreigners '' , unacquainted with democracy , could or should become citizens . Spain protested the transfer on two grounds : First , France had previously promised in a note not to alienate Louisiana to a third party and second , France had not fulfilled the Third Treaty of San Ildefonso by having the King of Etruria recognized by all European powers . The French government replied that these objections were baseless since the promise not to alienate Louisiana was not in the treaty of San Ildefonso itself and therefore had no legal force , and the Spanish government had ordered Louisiana to be transferred in October 1802 despite knowing for months that Britain had not recognized the King of Etruria in the Treaty of Amiens . Transfer of Louisiana by Ford P. Kaiser for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition ( 1904 ) Henry Adams claimed `` The sale of Louisiana to the United States was trebly invalid ; if it were French property , Bonaparte could not constitutionally alienate it without the consent of the French Chambers ; if it were Spanish property , he could not alienate it at all ; if Spain had a right of reclamation , his sale was worthless . '' The sale of course was not `` worthless '' -- the U.S. actually did take possession . Furthermore , the Spanish prime minister had authorized the U.S. to negotiate with the French government `` the acquisition of territories which may suit their interests . '' Spain turned the territory over to France in a ceremony in New Orleans on November 30 , a month before France turned it over to American officials . Other historians counter the above arguments regarding Jefferson 's alleged hypocrisy by asserting that countries change their borders in two ways : ( 1 ) conquest , or ( 2 ) an agreement between nations , otherwise known as a treaty . The Louisiana Purchase was the latter , a treaty . The Constitution specifically grants the president the power to negotiate treaties ( Art . II , Sec. 2 ) , which is just what Jefferson did . Jefferson 's Secretary of State , James Madison ( the `` Father of the Constitution '' ) , assured Jefferson that the Louisiana Purchase was well within even the strictest interpretation of the Constitution . Treasury Secretary Albert Gallatin added that since the power to negotiate treaties was specifically granted to the president , the only way extending the country 's territory by treaty could not be a presidential power would be if it were specifically excluded by the Constitution ( which it was not ) . Jefferson , as a strict constructionist , was right to be concerned about staying within the bounds of the Constitution , but felt the power of these arguments and was willing to `` acquiesce with satisfaction '' if the Congress approved the treaty . The Senate quickly ratified the treaty , and the House , with equal alacrity , authorized the required funding , as the Constitution specifies . The opposition of New England Federalists to the Louisiana Purchase was primarily economic self - interest , not any legitimate concern over constitutionality or whether France indeed owned Louisiana or was required to sell it back to Spain should it desire to dispose of the territory . The Northerners were not enthusiastic about Western farmers gaining another outlet for their crops that did not require the use of New England ports . Also , many Federalists were speculators in lands in upstate New York and New England and were hoping to sell these lands to farmers , who might go west instead , if the Louisiana Purchase went through . They also feared that this would lead to Western states being formed , which would likely be Republican , and dilute the political power of New England Federalists . When Spain later objected to the United States purchasing Louisiana from France , Madison responded that America had first approached Spain about purchasing the property , but had been told by Spain itself that America would have to treat with France for the territory . Treaty signing Issue of 1953 , commemorating the 150th Anniversary of signing The Louisiana Purchase Treaty was signed on April 30 by Robert Livingston , James Monroe , and Barbé Marbois in Paris . Jefferson announced the treaty to the American people on July 4 . After the signing of the Louisiana Purchase agreement in 1803 , Livingston made this famous statement , `` We have lived long , but this is the noblest work of our whole lives ... From this day the United States take their place among the powers of the first rank . '' The United States Senate advised and consented to ratification of the treaty with a vote of twenty - four to seven on October 20 . The Senators who voted against the treaty were : Simeon Olcott and William Plumer of New Hampshire , William Wells and Samuel White of Delaware , James Hillhouse and Uriah Tracy of Connecticut , and Timothy Pickering of Massachusetts . On the following day , October 21 , 1803 , the Senate authorized Jefferson to take possession of the territory and establish a temporary military government . In legislation enacted on October 31 , Congress made temporary provisions for local civil government to continue as it had under French and Spanish rule and authorized the President to use military forces to maintain order . Plans were also set forth for several missions to explore and chart the territory , the most famous being the Lewis and Clark Expedition . A timeline of legislation can be found at the Library of Congress : American Memory : The Louisiana Purchase Legislative Timeline -- 1803 - 1804 . Formal transfers and initial organization Flag raising in the Place d'Armes of New Orleans , marking the transfer of sovereignty over French Louisiana to the United States , December 20 , 1803 , as depicted by Thure de Thulstrup France turned over New Orleans , the historic colonial capital , on December 20 , 1803 , at the Cabildo , with a flag - raising ceremony in the Plaza de Armas , now Jackson Square . Just three weeks earlier , on November 30 , 1803 , Spanish officials had formally conveyed the colonial lands and their administration to France . On March 9 and 10 , 1804 , another ceremony , commemorated as Three Flags Day , was conducted in St. Louis , to transfer ownership of Upper Louisiana from Spain to the French First Republic , and then from France to the United States . From March 10 to September 30 , 1804 , Upper Louisiana was supervised as a military district , under Commandant Amos Stoddard . Effective October 1 , 1804 , the purchased territory was organized into the Territory of Orleans ( most of which would become the state of Louisiana ) and the District of Louisiana , which was temporarily under control of the governor and judicial system of the Indiana Territory . The following year , the District of Louisiana was renamed the Territory of Louisiana , aka Louisiana Territory ( 1805 -- 1812 ) . New Orleans was the administrative capital of the Orleans Territory , and St. Louis was the capital of the Louisiana Territory . Boundaries A dispute soon arose between Spain and the United States regarding the extent of Louisiana . The territory 's boundaries had not been defined in the 1762 Treaty of Fontainebleau that ceded it from France to Spain , nor in the 1801 Third Treaty of San Ildefonso ceding it back to France , nor the 1803 Louisiana Purchase agreement ceding it to the United States . The United States claimed Louisiana included the entire western portion of the Mississippi River drainage basin to the crest of the Rocky Mountains and land extending southeast to the Rio Grande and West Florida . Spain insisted that Louisiana comprised no more than the western bank of the Mississippi River and the cities of New Orleans and St. Louis . The dispute was ultimately resolved by the Adams -- Onís Treaty of 1819 , with the United States gaining most of what it had claimed in the west . The Purchase was one of several territorial additions to the U.S. The relatively narrow Louisiana of New Spain had been a special province under the jurisdiction of the Captaincy General of Cuba while the vast region to the west was in 1803 still considered part of the Commandancy General of the Provincias Internas . Louisiana had never been considered one of New Spain 's internal provinces . If the territory included all the tributaries of the Mississippi on its western bank , the northern reaches of the Purchase extended into the equally ill - defined British possession -- Rupert 's Land of British North America , now part of Canada . The Purchase originally extended just beyond the 50th parallel . However , the territory north of the 49th parallel ( including the Milk River and Poplar River watersheds ) was ceded to the UK in exchange for parts of the Red River Basin south of 49th parallel in the Anglo - American Convention of 1818 . The eastern boundary of the Louisiana purchase was the Mississippi River , from its source to the 31st parallel , though the source of the Mississippi was , at the time , unknown . The eastern boundary below the 31st parallel was unclear . The U.S. claimed the land as far as the Perdido River , and Spain claimed that the border of its Florida Colony remained the Mississippi River . In early 1804 , Congress passed the Mobile Act , which recognized West Florida as part of the United States . The Adams -- Onís Treaty with Spain ( 1819 ) resolved the issue upon ratification in 1821 . Today , the 31st parallel is the northern boundary of the western half of the Florida Panhandle , and the Perdido is the western boundary of Florida . Because the western boundary was contested at the time of the Purchase , President Jefferson immediately began to organize three missions to explore and map the new territory . All three started from the Mississippi River . The Lewis and Clark Expedition ( 1804 ) traveled up the Missouri River ; the Red River Expedition ( 1806 ) explored the Red River basin ; the Pike Expedition ( 1806 ) also started up the Missouri , but turned south to explore the Arkansas River watershed . The maps and journals of the explorers helped to define the boundaries during the negotiations leading to the Adams -- Onís Treaty , which set the western boundary as follows : north up the Sabine River from the Gulf of Mexico to its intersection with the 32nd parallel , due north to the Red River , up the Red River to the 100th meridian , north to the Arkansas River , up the Arkansas River to its headwaters , due north to the 42nd parallel and due west to its previous boundary . Slavery See also : History of slavery in Louisiana , History of slavery in Missouri , and Slavery in the United States Governing the Louisiana Territory was more difficult than acquiring it . Its European peoples , of ethnic French , Spanish and Mexican descent , were largely Catholic ; in addition , there was a large population of enslaved Africans made up of a high proportion of recent arrivals , as Spain had continued the international slave trade . This was particularly true in the area of the present - day state of Louisiana , which also contained a large number of free people of color . Both present - day Arkansas and Missouri already had some slaveholders in the early 19th century . During this period , south Louisiana received an influx of French - speaking refugee planters , who were permitted to bring their slaves with them , and other refugees fleeing the large slave revolt in Saint - Domingue , today 's Haiti . Many Southern slaveholders feared that acquisition of the new territory might inspire American - held slaves to follow the example of those in Saint - Domingue and revolt . They wanted the US government to establish laws allowing slavery in the newly acquired territory so they could be supported in taking their slaves there to undertake new agricultural enterprises , as well as to reduce the threat of future slave rebellions . The Louisiana Territory was broken into smaller portions for administration , and the territories passed slavery laws similar to those in the southern states but incorporating provisions from the preceding French and Spanish rule ( for instance , Spain had prohibited slavery of Native Americans in 1769 , but some slaves of mixed African - Native American descent were still being held in St. Louis in Upper Louisiana when the U.S. took over ) . In a freedom suit that went from Missouri to the US Supreme Court , slavery of Native Americans was finally ended in 1836 . The institutionalization of slavery under U.S. law in the Louisiana Territory contributed to the American Civil War a half century later . As states organized within the territory , the status of slavery in each state became a matter of contention in Congress , as southern states wanted slavery extended to the west , and northern states just as strongly opposed new states being admitted as `` slave states . '' The Missouri Compromise of 1820 was a temporary solution . Asserting U.S. possession Plan of Fort Madison , built in 1808 to establish U.S. control over the northern part of the Louisiana Purchase , drawn 1810 After the early explorations , the U.S. government sought to establish control of the region , since trade along the Mississippi and Missouri rivers was still dominated by British and French traders from Canada and allied Indians , especially the Sauk and Fox . The U.S. adapted the former Spanish facility at Fort Bellefontaine as a fur trading post near St. Louis in 1804 for business with the Sauk and Fox . In 1808 two military forts with trading factories were built , Fort Osage along the Missouri River in western present - day Missouri and Fort Madison along the Upper Mississippi River in eastern present - day Iowa . With tensions increasing with Great Britain , in 1809 Fort Bellefontaine was converted to a U.S. military fort , and was used for that purpose until 1826 . During the War of 1812 , Great Britain and allied Indians defeated U.S. forces in the Upper Mississippi ; the U.S. abandoned Forts Osage and Madison , as well as several other U.S. forts built during the war , including Fort Johnson and Fort Shelby . After U.S. ownership of the region was confirmed in the Treaty of Ghent ( 1814 ) , the U.S. built or expanded forts along the Mississippi and Missouri rivers , including adding to Fort Bellefontaine , and constructing Fort Armstrong ( 1816 ) and Fort Edwards ( 1816 ) in Illinois , Fort Crawford ( 1816 ) in Prairie du Chien Wisconsin , Fort Snelling ( 1819 ) in Minnesota , and Fort Atkinson ( 1819 ) in Nebraska . Financing The American government used $3 million in gold as a down payment , and issued bonds for the balance to pay France for the purchase . Earlier that year , Francis Baring and Company of London had become the U.S. government 's official banking agent in London . Because of this favored position , the U.S. asked the Baring firm to handle the transaction . Francis Baring 's son Alexander was in Paris at the time and helped in the negotiations . Another Baring advantage was a close relationship with Hope and Company of Amsterdam . The two banking houses worked together to facilitate and underwrite the Purchase . Because Napoleon wanted to receive his money as quickly as possible , the two firms received the American bonds and shipped the gold to France . Napoleon used the money to finance his planned invasion of England , which never took place .

this was a territory in the western u.s. purchased from france for $15 million in 1803
[ "The Louisiana Purchase (French: Vente de la Louisiane \"Sale of Louisiana\") was the acquisition of the Louisiana territory (828,000 square miles or 2.14 million km²) by the United States from France in 1803. The U.S. paid fifty million francs ($11,250,000) and a cancellation of debts worth eighteen million francs ($3,750,000) for a total of sixty-eight million francs ($15 million, equivalent to $300 million in 2016). The Louisiana territory included land from fifteen present U.S. states and two Canadian provinces. The territory contained land that forms Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska; the portion of Minnesota west of the Mississippi River; a large portion of North Dakota; a large portion of South Dakota; the northeastern section of New Mexico; the northern portion of Texas; the area of Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado east of the Continental Divide; Louisiana west of the Mississippi River (plus New Orleans); and small portions of land within the present Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. Its non-native population was around 60,000 inhabitants, of whom half were African slaves.[1]" ]

School prayer
School prayer - wikipedia School prayer Jump to : navigation , search School prayer , in the context of religious liberty , is state - sanctioned or mandatory prayer by students in public schools . Depending on the country and the type of school , state - sponsored prayer may be required , permitted , or prohibited . Countries which prohibit or limit school prayer often differ in their reasons for doing so : In the United States , school prayer can not be required of students in accordance with the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution . In Canada , school - sponsored prayer is disallowed under the concept of Freedom of conscience as outlined in the Canadian Charter on Rights & Fundamental Freedoms . School - sponsored prayer is disallowed in France as a byproduct of its status as a laïcist ( religiously neutral ) nation . Countries that allow or require school and other state - sponsored prayer include Greece , Iran , Australia , Italy and the United Kingdom .

The legal basis for this prohibition is the First Amendment to the United States Constitution , which requires that Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion , or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ... The first part of the amendment ( `` Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion '' ) is known as the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment , while the second part ( `` or prohibiting the free exercise thereof '' ) is known as the Free Exercise Clause . Though each of these clauses originally applied only to the central US government , the Fourteenth Amendment extended the scope of the entire First Amendment to all levels of government , including the state level , thus compelling states and their subject schools to adopt an equally detached approach to religion in schools . School prayer prior to 1962 ( edit ) In the 18th , 19th and early 20th centuries , it was common practice for public schools to open with an oral prayer or Bible reading . Catholics would sometimes object to the distinct Protestant observations performed in the local schools . For instance , in the Edgerton Bible Case ( Weiss v. District Board ( 1890 ) ) , the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled in favor of Catholics who objected to the use of the King James Bible in Wisconsin public schools . This ruling was based on the state constitution and only applied in Wisconsin . A turning point : the `` Regents ' prayer '' and Engel v. Vitale ( edit ) The media and popular culture often erroneously credit atheist Madalyn Murray O'Hair with removing school prayer from US public schools , when the case against recitation of the Lord 's Prayer in Baltimore schools was decided by the Supreme Court in 1963 . A more significant case had reached the Supreme Court one year prior , suddenly changing the legal climate for school prayer in the US . In 1955 , the New York Board of Regents developed a prayer recommended ( but not required ) for the school districts under its purview . The prayer was relatively short : `` Almighty God , we acknowledge our dependence on Thee , and we beg Thy blessings upon us , our parents , our teachers , and our country . '' The board stated that the prayer would `` combat juvenile delinquency and counter the spread of Communism . '' Seven years later , Steven I. Engel , a Jew , was upset to see his son 's hands clasped and his head bent in prayer . He told his son that this was `` not the way we say prayers . '' Engel , a founding member of the New York Civil Liberties Union , would bring action along with Daniel Lichtenstein , Monroe Lerner , Lenore Lyons , and Lawrence Roth , all parents of children in the Long Island , New York public school system , against Union Free School District No. 9 for its adoption and subsequent prescription of the so - called `` Regent 's prayer '' , arguing that it constituted the state - sponsored establishment of religion in violation of citizens ' First Amendment rights via the Fourteenth Amendment . Use of the Regent 's prayer would be initially upheld in both New York State Court and in the New York Court of Appeals , prompting Engels to petition the US Supreme Court in the Engel v. Vitale case in 1962 . With its 8 -- 1 vote to make public recitation of the Regents ' Prayer in public schools unlawful , the U.S. Supreme Court made its first - ever decision on prayer in public schools . It made its second in 1963 -- the Abington School District v. Schempp ruling , which made the corporate reading of the Bible and recitation of the Lord 's Prayer unlawful in public schools . 1963 and after ( edit ) In these two landmark decisions , Engel v. Vitale ( 1962 ) and Abington School District v. Schempp ( 1963 ) , the Supreme Court established what is now the current prohibition on state - sponsored prayer in US schools . While the Engel decision held that the promulgation of an official state - school prayer stood in violation of the First Amendment 's Establishment Clause ( thus overruling the New York Courts ' decisions ) , Abington held that Bible readings and other public school - sponsored religious activities were prohibited . Madalyn Murray 's lawsuit , Murray v. Curlett , contributed to the removal of compulsory Bible reading from the public schools of the United States , and has had lasting and significant effects . Until the lawsuit , it was commonplace for students to participate in many types of religious activities while at school , including religious instruction itself . Nonreligious students were compelled to participate in such activities and were not usually given any opportunity to opt out . The Murray suit was combined with an earlier case , so the Court might have acted without Murray 's intervention . With the success of the lawsuit , the intent of the Constitution with regard to the relationship between church and state again came under critical scrutiny and has remained there to this day . While students do continue to pray in public schools , even in organized groups such as `` See You at the Pole '' , the lawsuit disallowed schools from including prayer as a compulsory activity required of every student . The success of O'Hair's lawsuit led to subsequent lawsuits by Mormon and Catholic families in Texas in 2000 to limit compulsory prayer at school - sponsored football games . Following these two cases came the Court 's decision in Lemon v. Kurtzman ( 1971 ) , a ruling that established the Lemon test for religious activities within schools . The Lemon test states that , in order to be constitutional under the Establishment Clause , any practice sponsored within state - run schools ( or other public state - sponsored activities ) must adhere to the following three criteria : Have a secular purpose ; Must neither advance nor inhibit religion ; and Must not result in an excessive entanglement between government and religion . Controversy ( edit ) Reactions to Engel and Abington were widely negative , and many school districts and states have attempted to reestablish school - sponsored prayer in different forms since 1962 . Since the 1990s , controversy in the courts has tended to revolve around prayer at school - sponsored extracurricular activities . Examples can be seen in the cases of Lee v. Weisman ( 1992 ) and Santa Fe Independent School Dist . v. Doe ( 2000 ) , where public prayers at graduation ceremonies and those conducted via public address system prior to high school games ( at state school facilities before a school - gathered audience ) were , respectively , ruled unconstitutional . Despite their attempts to present a clear stance on school - sponsored religious activity , Engel , Abington , and the cases for which these serve as precedent are cited by some proponents of school prayer as evidence of a contradiction between the Establishment and Free Exercise Clauses . While the Establishment Clause proscribes the state sponsorship of religion , the Free Exercise Clause forbids state interference in individual religious exercise . Where a state entity moves to accommodate the right to individual religious expression under the latter clause , opponents of that `` expression '' may cite such accommodation as state `` promotion '' of one religious activity over another . Regarding the Free Exercise Clause , the courts have consistently stated that students ' setting forth of religious views through prayer can not be forbidden unless such activity can be shown to cause disruption in the school , yet it remains beyond the scope of the state to require such practice . Thus , anyone is allowed to pray in schools in the United States , as long as it is not officially sponsored by the school and it does not disrupt others from doing their work . The United States Supreme Court : A Political and Legal Analysis discussed the results of a 1991 survey , stating that : `` The Court 's school prayer decisions were , and still are , deeply unpopular with the public , many politicians and most religions organizations . 95 percent of the population believe in God and some 60 percent belong to a religious organization . In a 1991 opinion poll , 78 percent of Americans support the reintroduction of school prayer . '' As a result of public support for school prayer in the United States , The Oxford Companion to the Supreme Court of the United States reports , `` the public 's support for school prayer was translated by various state legislatures into statutes aiding religious schools and practices . '' Analysis of multiple polls since the 1970s by sociologist Philip Schwadel showed support for school prayer dipped slightly but remains popular with the majority of Americans , with a recent 2011 poll showing 65 percent support . Canada ( edit ) British Columbia ( edit ) Prior to 1944 , in British Columbia , the Public Schools Act ( 1872 ) permitted the use of the Lord 's Prayer in opening or closing school . In 1944 , the government of British Columbia amended the Public Schools Act to provide for compulsory Bible reading at the opening of the school day , to be followed by a compulsory recitation of the Lord 's Prayer . This amendment appeared as section 167 of the Public Schools Act , and read as follows : 167 . All public schools shall be opened by the reading , without explanation or comment , of a passage of Scripture to be selected from readings prescribed or approved by the Council of Public Instruction . The reading of the passage of Scripture shall be followed by the recitation of the Lord 's Prayer , but otherwise the schools shall be conducted on strictly secular and non-sectarian principles . The highest morality shall be inculcated , but no religious dogma or creed shall be taught . 1948 , c. 42 , s. 167 The compulsory nature of the Bible reading and prayer recitation was slightly modified by regulations drawn up by the Council of Public Instruction . These regulations provided that either a teacher or student who has conscientious ground for objecting to the religious observances may be excused from them . The procedure to be followed in such cases was outlined in the regulations , which follow in full : Division ( 15 ) -- Scripture Readings ( Section 167 ) 15.01 Where a teacher sends a written notice to the Board of School Trustees or official trustee by whom he is employed that he has conscientious objections to conducting the . ceremony of reading prescribed selections from the Bible and reciting the Lord 's Prayer ( as provided by Section 167 of the Public Schools Act ) , he shall be excused from such duty , and in such case it shall be the duty of the Board of School Trustees or official trustee concerned to arrange with the Principal to have the ceremony conducted by some other teacher in the school , or by a school trustee , or , where neither of these alternatives is possible , by one of the senior pupils of the school or by some other suitable person other than an ordained member of a religious sect or denomination . 15.02 Where the parent or guardian of any pupil attending a public school sends a written notice to the teacher of the pupil stating that for conscientious reasons he does not wish the pupil to attend the ceremony of reading prescribed selections from the Bible and reciting the Lord 's Prayer at the opening of school , the teacher shall excuse the pupil from attendance at such ceremony and at his discretion may assign the pupil some other useful employment at school during that period , but the pupil so excused shall not be deprived of any other benefits of the school by reason of his non-attendance at the ceremony . In 1982 , the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms received royal assent . Section 2 of the charter guaranteeing freedom of conscience and freedom of religion trumped Section 167 of the Public Schools Act ( 1872 ) . Sixteen years later in 1996 , based on precedent that would be established in Ontario ( 1989 ) , required recitation of the Lord 's Prayer as outlined in the Public Schools Act would be held to violate the Charter of Rights and Freedoms . Ontario ( edit ) The challenges to Christian opening and closing exercises occurred mainly in Ontario with the crucial case being fought in The Ontario Court of Appeal in 1988 . Zylberberg v. Sudbury Board of Education ( Director ) The Ontario Court of Appeal ruled that the use of the Lord 's Prayer in opening exercises in public schools offended the Charter s . 2 ( a ) . 1988 . ( 1988 ) , 65 O.R. ( 2d ) 641 , 29 O.A.C. 23 ( C.A. ) . Education regulations did not require the use of the Lord 's Prayer and there was an exemption provision . The Ontario Court of Appeal ruled that the regulation infringed religious freedom because schools could use only the Lord 's Prayer rather than a more inclusive approach . It was argued that the exemption provision effectively stigmatized children and coerced them into a religious observance which was offensive to them . The Ontario Court of Appeal was persuaded by the argument that the need to seek exemption from Christian exercises is itself a form of religious discrimination . The judges described as insensitive the position of the respondents that it was beneficial for the minority children to confront the fact of their difference from the majority . Russow v. British Columbia ( edit ) In 1989 , Joan Russow challenged , in the British Columbia Supreme Court , the Public Schools Act 's requirement that in British Columbia all public schools were to be opened with the Lord 's Prayer and a Bible reading . The argument was similar to the Zylberberg case and the result was the same : The offending words in the Public Schools Act were removed as being inconsistent with freedom of conscience and religion guarantees in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms . Further following the Zylberberg case to strike down use of the Lord 's Prayer in schools , the British Columbia Supreme Court incorporated the Ontario Court of Appeal 's decision in Zylberberg in its entirety . From 1871 to 1989 , observance of school prayer had declined . With the unfavorable court decision , the requirement for Christian morning exercises was replaced with the following clauses found in the School Act ( 1996 ) in British Columbia . Conduct : 76 ( 1 ) All schools and Provincial schools must be conducted on strictly secular and nonsectarian principles . ( 2 ) The highest morality must be inculcated , but no religious dogma or creed is to be -- taught in a school or Provincial school . France ( edit ) As a declared ' laïque ' ( roughly ' religiously neutral ' , secular ) state , France has no school prayers . Instead , public servants are advised to keep their religious faith private , and may be censured if they display it too openly . The French law on secularity and conspicuous religious symbols in schools goes beyond restricting prayer in schools and bans the wearing of conspicuous religious symbols by pupils in public primary and secondary schools . Turkey ( edit ) The predominantly Muslim country of Turkey is in the public sphere a strongly secular nation . In this regard , it is much like France , on whose system of laïcism its founder Mustafa Kemal Atatürk modelled the rules on religion when he reformed his country in the early 20th century . School prayer is therefore unknown , and suspected religious motivations can cause serious difficulties for public servants . Despite its primarily secular stance , however , courses of religion and morals ( which are dominantly Islamic ) are compulsory to all students during the last years of elementary and throughout high school . In these instances , various Islamic prayers and verses are both taught and tested for . Countries that permit school - sponsored prayer ( edit ) United Kingdom ( edit ) Main articles : Education in the United Kingdom and Religion in the United Kingdom In England and Wales , the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 states that all pupils in state schools must take part in a daily act of collective worship , unless their parents request that they be excused from attending . The majority of these acts of collective worship are required to be `` wholly or mainly of a broadly Christian character '' , with two exceptions : Religious schools , which should provide worship appropriate to the school 's religion ( although most religious schools in the UK are Christian . ) Schools where the local education authority 's Standing Advisory Council on Religious Education has determined that Christian worship would not be appropriate for part or all of the school . Although there is a statutory requirement for schools to hold a daily act of collective worship , many do not . Ofsted 's 2002 - 03 annual report , for example , states that 80 % of secondary schools are not providing daily worship for all pupils . Ongoing debate ( edit ) Arguments for and against school prayer ( edit ) The issue of school prayer remains contentious even where courts as diverse as those in Canada , the United States , Russia , and Poland attempt to strike a balance between religious and secular activity in state - sponsored arenas . Some arguments have held that religion in schools is both an effective sociomoral tool as well as a valuable means to psychological stability . On the opposing side , others have argued that prayer has no place in a classroom where impressionable students are continually subject to influence by the majority . The latter kind of claim holds that , to the extent that a public school itself promotes the majority religion , the state is guilty of coercive interference in the lives of the individual . In recent years , programs derived from yoga , a Hindu religious practice , have been introduced into public schools in the U.S. Advocates for the programs say they help children to relax and concentrate , but critics counter that the programs violate the separation of church and state . `` Moment of silence '' ( edit ) Despite ongoing debate , there are some instances where religious freedom and secular stability have been temporarily balanced . In the United States , some administrations have introduced a `` moment of silence '' or `` moment of reflection '' in which a student may , if he or she wishes to , offer a silent prayer . The US Supreme Court decision in Wallace v. Jaffree ( 1984 ) held that a moment of silence in schools for the purpose of individual prayer or meditation constituted a valid application of the Free Exercise Clause , while a moment of silence for the clear intended purpose of a state - approved devotional activity constituted a violation of the Establishment Clause . In this same case , the issue of school prayer was further complicated by a distinction made between a public assembly attended by participants of their own free will , and a public event where attendance is legally required . A voluntarily attended Congress may open sessions with a prayer , but schools full of public pupils may not . Here the US Supreme Court has interpreted the issue as revolving around the degree of a government 's ability to indoctrinate its citizens . If it appears that participants at a state - sponsored event are more likely to influence the State itself , courts may treat prayer as `` legislative prayer '' . If , on the other hand , the State is more likely to influence participants at its events , courts may treat prayer as `` state - sponsored '' prayer and thereby rule it unconstitutional .

when did they take prayer out of school
[ "Use of the Regent's prayer would be initially upheld in both New York State Court and in the New York Court of Appeals, prompting Engels to petition the US Supreme Court in the Engel v. Vitale case in 1962. With its 8–1 vote to make public recitation of the Regents' Prayer in public schools unlawful, the U.S. Supreme Court made its first-ever decision on prayer in public schools. It made its second in 1963—the Abington School District v. Schempp ruling, which made the corporate reading of the Bible and recitation of the Lord's Prayer unlawful in public schools.[3]" ]

Initially , he was intended to be only the technical advisor . Kubrick changed his mind after Ermey put together an instructional tape , in which he went on an extended tirade towards several extras , convincing Kubrick he was the right man for the role . Seeking authenticity for the film , Kubrick allowed Ermey to write or edit his own dialogue and improvise on the set , a notable rarity in a Kubrick film .

I 'm not going to tell you who I 'm going to vote for , but I 'm going to let you guess ( ... ) and the first two guesses do n't count ! '' Toys for Tots speech ( edit ) On December 10 , 2010 , Ermey denounced the Obama administration 's economic policies while speaking at a Marine Corps Reserve 's Toys for Tots rally , stating that it was difficult to raise money for the charity , because `` the economy sucks '' .

In January 2011 , Ermey posted an apology on his Web site , saying : I regret that I delivered a monologue that was inappropriately critical of the President . My comments were misguided and emotionally biased , and for that I am truly sorry . In spite of his apology , Ermey later told TMZ that he was fired by GEICO , for whom he made the above - mentioned 2010 `` Drill Sergeant '' commercial , because of his political beliefs . The insurance giant also removed Ermey 's commercial from their official YouTube channel . Ermey subsequently stated that his anti-Obama views had caused him to be blacklisted by Hollywood , resulting in a lack of new film roles for him .

Radiocarbon dating places the exact beginning of the New Kingdom between 1570 BC and 1544 BC . The New Kingdom followed the Second Intermediate Period and was succeeded by the Third Intermediate Period . It was Egypt 's most prosperous time and marked the peak of its power . The later part of this period , under the 19th and 20th Dynasties ( 1292 -- 1069 BC ) , is also known as the Ramesside period . It is named after the 11 Pharaohs that took the name Ramesses , after Ramesses I , the founder of the 19th Dynasty . Possibly as a result of the foreign rule of the Hyksos during the Second Intermediate Period , the New Kingdom saw Egypt attempt to create a buffer between the Levant and Egypt proper , and during this time Egypt attained its greatest territorial extent . Similarly , in response to very successful 17th century attacks during the Second Intermediate Period by the powerful Kingdom of Kush , the rulers of the New Kingdom felt compelled to expand far south into Nubia and to hold wide territories in the Near East . In the north , Egyptian armies fought Hittite armies for control of modern - day Syria .

Queen Hatshepsut concentrated on expanding Egypt 's external trade by sending a commercial expedition to the land of Punt . Thutmose III ( `` the Napoleon of Egypt '' ) expanded Egypt 's army and wielded it with great success to consolidate the empire created by his predecessors . This resulted in a peak in Egypt 's power and wealth during the reign of Amenhotep III . During the reign of Thutmose III ( c. 1479 -- 1425 BC ) , Pharaoh , originally referring to the king 's palace , became a form of address for the person who was king . One of the best - known 18th Dynasty pharaohs is Amenhotep IV , who changed his name to Akhenaten in honor of the Aten , a representation of the Egyptian god , Ra . His exclusive worship of the Aten is often interpreted as history 's first instance of monotheism . Akhenaten 's wife , Nefertiti , contributed a great deal to his new take on the Egyptian religion . Nefertiti was bold enough to perform rituals to Aten . Akhenaten 's religious fervor is cited as the reason why he and his wife were subsequently written out of Egyptian history . Under his reign , in the 14th century BC , Egyptian art flourished under a distinctive style . ( See Amarna Period . ) Towards the end of the 18th Dynasty , the situation had changed radically . Aided by Akhenaten 's apparent lack of interest in international affairs , the Hittites had gradually extended their influence into Phoenicia and Canaan to become a major power in international politics -- a power that both Seti I and his son Ramesses II would need to deal with during the 19th Dynasty . 19th Dynasty ( edit ) Main article : Nineteenth Dynasty of Egypt The Nineteenth Dynasty was founded by the Vizier Ramesses I , whom the last ruler of the 18th dynasty , Pharaoh Horemheb , had chosen as his successor . His brief reign marked a transition period between the reign of Horemheb the powerful pharaohs of this dynasty , in particular , his son Seti I and grandson Ramesses II , who would bring Egypt up to new heights of imperial power . Ramesses II ( `` the Great '' ) sought to recover territories in the Levant that had been held by the 18th Dynasty . His campaigns of reconquest culminated in the Battle of Kadesh , where he led Egyptian armies against those of the Hittite king Muwatalli II . Ramesses was caught in history 's first recorded military ambush , although he was able to rally his troops and turn the tide of battle against the Hittites thanks to the arrival of the Ne'arin ( possibly mercenaries in the employ of Egypt ) . The outcome of the battle was undecided , with both sides claiming victory at their home front , and ultimately resulting in a peace treaty between the two nations . Egypt was able to obtain wealth and stability under Ramesses ' rule of over half a century . His immediate successors continued the military campaigns , although an increasingly troubled court -- which at one point put a usurper ( Amenmesse ) on the throne -- made it increasingly difficult for a pharaoh to effectively retain control of the territories . Ramesses II was also famed for the huge number of children he sired by his various wives and concubines ; the tomb he built for his sons , many of whom he outlived , in the Valley of the Kings has proven to be the largest funerary complex in Egypt . Egyptian and Hittite Empires , around the time of the Battle of Kadesh . 20th Dynasty ( edit ) Main article : Twentieth Dynasty of Egypt The last `` great '' pharaoh from the New Kingdom is widely considered to be Ramesses III , a 20th Dynasty pharaoh who reigned several decades after Ramesses II . In the eighth year of his reign the Sea Peoples invaded Egypt by land and sea . Ramesses III defeated them in two great land and sea battles ( the Battle of Djahy and the Battle of the Delta ) . He incorporated them as subject peoples and settled them in Southern Canaan although there is evidence that they forced their way into Canaan . Their presence in Canaan may have contributed to the formation of new states , such as Philistia , in this region after the collapse of the Egyptian Empire . He was also compelled to fight invading Libyan tribesmen in two major campaigns in Egypt 's Western Delta in his sixth year and eleventh year respectively . The heavy cost of this warfare slowly drained Egypt 's treasury and contributed to the gradual decline of the Egyptian Empire in Asia . The severity of the difficulties is indicated by the fact that the first known labor strike in recorded history occurred during the 29th year of Ramesses III 's reign , when the food rations for Egypt 's favored and elite royal tomb - builders and artisans in the village of Deir el Medina could not be provisioned . Air pollutants prevented much sunlight from reaching the ground and also arrested global tree growth for almost two full decades until 1140 BC . One proposed cause is the Hekla 3 eruption of the Hekla volcano in Iceland but the dating of this remains disputed . Rameses III 's death was followed by years of bickering among his heirs . Three of his sons ascended the throne successively as Ramesses IV , Rameses VI and Rameses VIII . Egypt was increasingly beset by droughts , below - normal flooding of the Nile , famine , civil unrest and official corruption . The power of the last pharaoh of the dynasty , Ramesses XI , grew so weak that in the south the High Priests of Amun at Thebes became the de facto rulers of Upper Egypt , and Smendes controlled Lower Egypt even before Rameses XI 's death . Smendes eventually founded the 21st Dynasty at Tanis . Thutmose III Gallery ( edit ) This section contains what may be an unencyclopedic or excessive gallery of images .

The song was made famous by Kenny Rogers and The First Edition in 1969 . `` Ruby '' was originally recorded in 1967 by Johnny Darrell , who scored a number nine country hit with it that year .

They recorded their version of the song , with Rogers singing the lead , in a single take . The record was a major hit for them . It made number 1 in the UK on the New Musical Express ( number 2 on the BBC chart ) staying in the top 20 for 15 weeks and selling over a million copies by the end of 1970 . In the United States it reached number six on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 39 on the country chart . In 1977 , now performing solo after the First Edition disbanded in early 1976 , Rogers made re-recordings of this , and a number of other First Edition hits , for his 1977 greatest hits package Ten Years of Gold . ( It was later issued in the UK as The Kenny Rogers Singles Album . ) Ten Years of Gold topped the US country charts under that title , and as The Kenny Rogers Singles Album , it was just as successful in the United Kingdom .

The Statler Brothers covered it on their 1967 album , Big Country Hits . Other artists who have recorded versions include Bobby Bare , Dale Hawkins , Waylon Jennings , George Jones , Jerry Reed , Roger Miller , Cake , The Killers and Leonard Nimoy . Several foreign - language versions have been recorded : Greek singer Nana Mouskouri recorded a French version entitled `` Ruby , garde ton cœur ici '' for her 1970 album Dans le soleil et dans le vent ; Gerhard Wendland recorded a German version `` Ruby , schau einmal über'n Zaun '' in 1970 ; Pavel Bobek , Czech country singer , recorded `` Oh Ruby , nechtěj mi lásku brát '' in 1981 ; Gary Holton and Casino Steel 's English - language version was a number one hit in Norway at the beginning of 1982 . French singer Eddy Mitchell recorded a French version entitled `` Ruby tu reviens au pays '' for his 1974 album Rocking in Nashville . The Dutch singer / showmaster Ron Brandsteder recorded a Dutch version called `` Oh Nederland ik ben verliefd op jou '' ( O Netherlands , I have fallen in love with you ) . Answer songs ( edit ) An answer song to `` Ruby , '' entitled `` Billy , I 've Got to Go to Town , '' was released in 1969 by Geraldine Stevens , who had previously recorded successfully under the name Dodie Stevens . Sung to the same melody with an arrangement quite similar to the First Edition version , `` Billy '' peaked at number 117 pop , number 57 country . In Stevens 's song , Ruby affirms her love for her disabled husband , who is named `` Billy '' in her song whereas in `` Ruby , '' he is not named , and she pleads in turn for her man to have faith in her fidelity and her commitment to him , even in his paralyzed condition . In 1972 , Bobby Womack released the album Understanding , which included the song `` Ruby Dean . '' The lyrics and melody are similar to `` Ruby , Do n't Take Your Love to Town '' but the story is told from the perspective of Ruby 's son . The son urges his mother to respect his father and to stop seeing other men . In the original song , no children between the couple are ever mentioned . Music video ( edit ) A music video consisting solely of a camera panning back and forth in a bedroom was shown at the end of a Huntley - Brinkley Report during 1969 . Chet Huntley set up the video by linking it to the controversial Vietnam War and the sacrifices by U.S. servicemen and their families . Chet Huntley and David Brinkley paused after the video and then signed off in their usual fashion . Further reading ( edit ) Rule , Ann ( 1999 ) , `` Ruby , Do n't Take Your Love to Town '' .

Smith from his 1993 novel of the same name . Directed by Sam Raimi , it stars Bill Paxton , Billy Bob Thornton and Bridget Fonda . Set in rural Minnesota , A Simple Plan follows brothers Hank ( Paxton ) and Jacob Mitchell ( Thornton ) , who , along with Jacob 's friend Lou ( Brent Briscoe ) , discover a crashed plane containing $4.4 million in cash . The three men go to great lengths to keep the money a secret but begin to doubt each other 's trust , resulting in lies , deceit and murder . Development of the film began in 1993 before the novel was published . Mike Nichols purchased the film rights , and the project was picked up by Savoy Pictures . After Nichols stepped down , the film adaptation became mired in development hell ; during the troubled pre-production , Ben Stiller and John Dahl turned down opportunities to direct the film . After Savoy closed in November 1995 , the project was sold to Paramount Pictures , and financed by Mutual Film Company , which provided a budget of $17 million . John Boorman was hired to direct , but scheduling conflicts led to his replacement by Raimi . Principal photography began in January 1998 and concluded in March after 55 days ; filming took place in Wisconsin and Minnesota . The score was produced and composed by Danny Elfman . A Simple Plan premiered at the 1998 Toronto International Film Festival , where it was met with critical acclaim . The film 's appearance at the festival preceded a limited release in the United States on December 11 , 1998 , followed by a general release in North America on January 22 , 1999 . It underperformed at the North American box office , grossing $16.3 million . Reviewers praised various aspects of the film 's production , including the storytelling , performances and Raimi 's direction . A Simple Plan earned multiple awards and nominations , among them two Academy Award nominations for Best Supporting Actor ( Thornton ) and Best Adapted Screenplay ( Smith ) .

One of the town 's few college graduates , Hank works in a feed mill , while his wife is a librarian . When Hank , his older , socially challenged brother Jacob and Jacob 's friend Lou chase a fox into the woods , they stumble upon a crashed airplane . Hank decides to look inside the plane where he discovers a dead pilot and a bag containing $4.4 million in $100 bills . He suggests turning the money in but is persuaded not to by Jacob and Lou . Hank then proposes that he keep the money safe at his house until the end of winter . Sheriff Carl Jenkins drives by the area and notices the three men after they hide the money in Jacob 's pick - up truck . Jacob mentions hearing a plane in the area to avoid suspicion . After Carl leaves , the three men decide to keep the money a secret , but Hank breaks the pact when he reveals the discovery to Sarah . Sarah suggests that Hank and Jacob return a paltry sum of the money to the plane to avoid suspicion from local authorities . While travelling on foot to the woods , the brothers come across an old man on a snowmobile . Jacob , thinking that their cover is blown , bludgeons him . When the man regains consciousness , Hank suffocates him , then uses the snowmobile to drive his body off a bridge , making the murder look like an accidental death . The following night , Lou drunkenly demands some of the money from Hank , because he has spent recklessly since the discovery . When Hank refuses , Lou threatens to go to the authorities , having learned from Jacob about the old man 's murder . Sarah advises that Hank and Jacob team up to plot against Lou . Much to Jacob 's dismay , the two brothers visit Lou at his home where Jacob has him drunkenly confess to the old man 's murder . Hank records the false confession with a tape recorder . Lou grows enraged when he realizes that the two have conspired against him and pulls a gun on them . Jacob grabs a rifle from his truck and kills Lou to save his brother . Hank then kills Lou 's wife with Lou 's shotgun when she appears with another gun . The two brothers avoid arrest after Hank concocts a rehearsed speech for himself and Jacob to tell the police . Because Jacob mentioned hearing a plane in the woods , Carl asks the brothers to assist an FBI agent , Neil Baxter , in a search for the missing aircraft . Hank and Jacob meet with Baxter and Carl at the police station . Sarah grows skeptical of Baxter , whom she later discovers to be an impostor ; she contacts and warns Hank , who steals a handgun from Carl 's office . The four men head into the woods and split up . When he finds the plane , Baxter kills Carl , and engages in a gunfight with Hank . Hank manages to kill Baxter with the gun he had stolen . Hank starts to concoct another story to tell the authorities . Jacob however announces that he does not want to live with these bad memories ; he threatens to shoot himself to end it . He then encourages Hank to kill him instead and frame Baxter for the crime . After grappling with the decision , Hank kills Jacob . At the police station , Hank tells his rehearsed story to real FBI agents . As Sarah predicted , the agents do not believe that Hank , an upstanding member of the community , would be capable of such wrongdoing . Although he is ruled out as a suspect , Hank is told that the money was part of a ransom and that many of the bills ' serial numbers were written down to track the cash . Hank realizes he can not use the money without being caught ; he goes home and burns it all . In a closing narration , Hank reflects on his losses ; as he tries to move on with his life , the murderous events constantly haunt him . Cast ( edit ) Bill Paxton as Hank Mitchell Billy Bob Thornton as Jacob Mitchell Bridget Fonda as Sarah Mitchell Brent Briscoe as Lou Chambers Gary Cole as Neil Baxter Jack Walsh as Tom Butler Chelcie Ross as Sheriff Carl Jenkins Becky Ann Baker as Nancy Chambers Production ( edit ) Development ( edit ) From left to right : Scott B. Smith , who wrote the adaptation of his novel , and Sam Raimi , who directed the film . After Scott B. Smith had published a short story for The New Yorker , the magazine 's fiction editor learned of his then - unpublished novel A Simple Plan before reading it and forwarding it to an agent . Shortly thereafter , Smith learned that Mike Nichols was interested in purchasing the film rights to his novel . Nichols spent a weekend reading the book , before contacting Smith 's agent , and finalizing a deal the following Monday morning . Nichols purchased the rights for his production company Icarus Productions for $250,000 , with an additional $750,000 to come later from a studio interested in pursuing the project . Smith 's manuscript of A Simple Plan was optioned for development at an independent film studio , Savoy Pictures . However , due to scheduling conflicts with a planned film adaptation of All the Pretty Horses , Nichols stepped down from the project . After learning of the film adaptation from Nichols , Ben Stiller joined the project and signed a two - picture directing deal with Savoy . He spent nine months working on the script with Smith . During preproduction , however , Stiller had a falling out with Savoy over budget disputes -- among them was how the studio 's reported $4 million offer to Nicolas Cage would affect the film 's budget . Unable to secure financing from another studio , Stiller left the production . In January 1995 , John Dahl was announced to helm the film , with Cage set to appear in a starring role , and filming likely to start during the following summer in the southern hemisphere or in Canada during the following winter . In November 1995 , following a series of box office failures , Savoy announced that it was retreating from the film industry . The studio was later acquired by Silver King Broadcasting / Home Shopping Network , whose chairman , Barry Diller , put A Simple Plan up for sale . This resulted in both Dahl and Cage leaving the project . The project was purchased by Paramount Pictures , where producer Scott Rudin hired John Boorman to direct the film . Boorman took part in location scouting , and filming was set to begin during the first week of January 1998 . When a second investor left the project , Paramount refused to fully finance the $17 million production itself . Although Boorman was able to secure financing , the studio feared that filming would not be finished before the end of winter . Boorman ran into scheduling conflicts , which resulted in him leaving the production . Paramount then hired Sam Raimi to direct the film . Raimi saw A Simple Plan as an opportunity to direct a character - driven story that differed from his earlier works , which were highly stylized or dependent on intricate camera movements . Raimi did not have time to scout locations due to studio constraints ; he relied on the previous locations visited during Boorman 's involvement . A Simple Plan was a co-production between Paramount and Mutual Film Company . The film was co-financed by Mutual and Newmarket Capital Group as part of a joint venture that was formed by the two companies . Mutual 's international partners -- the United Kingdom 's BBC , Germany 's Tele - München , Japan 's Toho - Towa / Marubeni and France 's UGC - PH -- also co-financed the film in exchange for distribution rights in their respective territories and equity stakes on the film on a worldwide basis . Paramount acquired the North American distribution rights . Writing ( edit ) `` Ben ( Stiller ) really taught me how to write a script . I do n't know that he ever explicitly said it , but by imagining the script as a verbal description of a movie , the movie that I wanted the book to be . That 's very simple , but it really was the key to everything for me -- just imagining what was on the page . I was shortchanging the visual in my script , concentrating on dialogue , which I imagine is a very common first - time screenwriter 's mistake , and to suddenly just do it visually opened up everything for me . '' -- Smith on writing the screenplay . The original script that Smith had written for Nichols was 256 pages long -- the equivalent of a four - and - a-half hour film . Smith kept Nichols 's suggestion of having the story take place in Minnesota , rather than in Ohio , where the book is set . After Nichols suggested that the story be set in the state , the Minnesota Film Board joined the project and remained involved throughout principal photography . Following publication of the novel , Nichols eventually turned down the project during the script 's early draft stages . When Stiller became involved , he and Smith spent nine months rewriting the script . For the adaptation , certain visual changes were made from the novel . Smith explained that one change involved the discovery of the crashed plane ; his script had the character Lou Chambers `` throwing ( a ) snowball to uncover the plane ... In the book , they 're just walking and they find it . '' Rudin wanted to change the focus of the story to Hank and Jacob , and ordered Smith to shorten the screenplay to 120 pages . Smith explained , `` I had to work to make Hank a more rational character , less evil . '' The shortening of the script also resulted in the character of Sarah having a smaller role , and Jacob having a larger role than in the book . After the role of Jacob was secured by Billy Bob Thornton , Smith omitted the character 's overweight appearance from the novel . Smith described the film adaptation as being less violent than the book , explaining that it was Raimi 's decision `` to be more restrained ( and ) bring out the characters . '' Casting ( edit ) During the film 's pre-production at Paramount , Boorman cast Bill Paxton and Billy Bob Thornton in the lead roles of Hank and Jacob Mitchell , respectively . A Simple Plan marked the second on - screen collaboration between Paxton and Thornton after One False Move ( 1992 ) . Thornton recalled , `` I got a call from one of my agents who said , ' John Boorman wants you to do a script that I sent you a year ago and you never read , ' I said , ' Send it to me again , and this time I 'll really read it . ' Within the first two pages , I knew I wanted to do it . '' Paxton learned of the novel A Simple Plan from his father five years before securing the role of Hank . He stated , `` ... for five years , there was a whole list of actors and directors who kind of marched through it . Billy Bob and I were set to do these roles in 1997 , and then it fell apart . That was the cruelest twist for an actor , to get a part you dreamed you 'd get and then they decide to scrap the whole thing . '' Rudin considered casting Anne Heche as Hank 's wife Sarah Mitchell . In December 1997 , Bridget Fonda , who had previously collaborated with Raimi on Army of Darkness ( 1992 ) , was cast as Sarah Mitchell . Filming ( edit ) Principal photography ( edit ) Principal photography began on January 5 , 1998 . Filming was scheduled to begin in Delano , Minnesota , but due to climatic changes as the result of El Niño , the production was forced to temporarily relocate to northern Wisconsin to find the snow levels described in the script . The production began shooting in Ashland and Saxon , Wisconsin , where most of the film 's exterior shots , and the road and woods near where the characters find the plane , were filmed . An actual plane , with one side cut open , was one of two planes used to depict the crashed aircraft . Patrizia Von Brandenstein was the film 's production designer , marking her second collaboration with Raimi , after The Quick and the Dead ( 1995 ) . Brandenstein found the weather conditions difficult during production , as she had to await good weather to complete the necessary exterior work . Describing the overall look of the film , she said , `` We created a muted black - and - white color scheme to suggest a morality tale , the choices given between right and wrong . '' The production team returned to Minnesota , where it was plagued by a lack of snow . To solve this problem , the production put together an effects team whose sole responsibility was dealing with snow . This snow effects team created a combination of real snow and fake synthetic snow that was made from shaved ice . The home of Lou Chambers and his wife Nancy was filmed in an abandoned house in Delano , which cinematographer Alar Kivilo described as `` a very difficult ( filming ) location with very low ceilings and no heating '' . Brandenstein and the art department were tasked with designing the set inside the home . The interior of the crashed plane , in which Hank discovers a dead pilot and the $4.4 million in cash , was filmed on a soundstage . A second plane , designed to have frosted windows , was attached to a gimbal , about five feet off the ground . To match the interior with footage shot in Wisconsin , the art department built a set with real trees and a painted backdrop . To depict Hank being attacked by a flock of crows inside the plane , puppets were used to attack Paxton as he appeared on screen , while two live crows were used to attack an animatronic replica of the actor . A separate soundstage was used to create two sets depicting the interiors of the Mitchell home , where Hank and his wife Sarah ( Fonda ) reside . The first set was the main floor an exterior entrance way , and the second was created for the upstairs bedrooms . Principal photography concluded on March 13 , 1998 , after 55 days of filming . Cinematography ( edit ) `` This is a change of pace for me because the film is not about shots , but the performance within the frame . I wanted the camera work to be invisible and just allow the actors to tell this very thrilling story . '' -- Sam Raimi ( director ) Upon reading the script , director of photography Alar Kivilo stated that his first approach to making the film `` was to make the look simple , allowing the characters to tell the story . '' For the film 's visual style , Kivilo was influenced by the visual imagery in the 1967 film In Cold Blood , the work of photographer Robert Frank . and photographs taken during location scouting in Delano , Minnesota . Kivilo originally wanted to shoot the film in widescreen , using the anamorphic format but decided against it due to the lack of lenses available and the film 's restricted budget . He shot A Simple Plan using Panavision Platinum cameras with the company 's Primo series of prime lenses . He used Eastman Kodak 5246 250ASA Vision film stock for all of the daylight scenes and tungsten - balanced 5279 Vision 500T film stock for the night scenes . `` In most of my films , I 've tended to find a progression of visuals to emphasize the story . They will often start one way and end another . The lighting and the camera will build with the story . But here , because the characters were going through such extreme psychological changes , we decided to keep the photography on an even keel . '' -- -- Alar Kivilo ( cinematographer ) Despite the intense weather conditions , Kivilo believed that the overcast skies created a `` gray , somber , stark look . '' Kivilo also chose not to use any lighting for daytime exterior scenes . For exterior scenes shot during sunnier filming days , computer - generated imagery ( CGI ) was used to re-create the overcast skies and counter any inconsistencies caused by the falling snow . In depicting the shootout in Lou 's home , Kivilo 's intent was to `` keep things quite sketchy in the lighting and not be clear about exactly what was happening . '' The camera department lit a China ball from the ceiling to depict a dimly lit kitchen light that would reveal Nancy holding a shotgun . Flash photography guns were used to depict the muzzle flashes during the shootouts . Music ( edit ) A Simple Plan 's film score was produced and composed by Danny Elfman , who was drawn to the project after learning that Raimi would be directing the film ; the film marked his third collaboration with Raimi . The instruments included alto and bass flutes , re-tuned pianos and banjos , zithers , and hand drums . The soundtrack album , titled A Simple Plan : Music from the Motion Picture Soundtrack , was released on January 26 , 1999 . Release ( edit ) A Simple Plan premiered at the 23rd Toronto International Film Festival on September 11 , 1998 . On December 11 , 1998 , the film opened in limited release at 31 theaters , and grossed $390,563 in its first week , with an average of $12,598 per theater . More theaters were added during the limited run , and on January 22 , 1999 , the film officially entered wide release by screening in 660 theaters across North America . The film ended its North American theatrical run on May 14 , 1999 , having grossed $16,316,273 , below its estimated production budget of $17 million . Home video ( edit ) In North America , A Simple Plan was released on VHS and DVD formats on June 22 , 1999 . These home video releases were undertaken by Paramount Home Entertainment . Reception ( edit ) Critical response ( edit ) Billy Bob Thornton was critically lauded for his performance as Jacob Mitchell , which earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor . A Simple Plan received critical acclaim from mainstream film critics . Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes sampled 67 reviews , and gave the film a `` Certified Fresh '' score of 90 % , with an average score of 8.2 out of 10 . The website 's consensus calls the film `` A riveting crime thriller full of emotional tension . '' Another review aggregator , Metacritic , assigned the film a weighted average score of 82 out of 100 , based on 28 reviews from mainstream critics , indicating `` universal acclaim '' . Reviewing the film during the Toronto International Film Festival , Glen Lovell of Variety , compared it to Joel and Ethan Coen 's earlier film Fargo ( 1996 ) : `` Both ( films ) are slices of life about outlandish crimes and Average Joe felons in over their heads , and both blend Grand Guignol and beautiful but foreboding snowscapes ... The key differences are in emphasis and tone : Fargo is deadpan noir ; A Simple Plan ... is a more robust Midwestern Gothic that owes as much to Poe as Chandler . '' In an `` early review '' of the film prior to its limited release , Roger Ebert and his colleague , Gene Siskel , gave the film a `` Two Thumbs Up '' rating on their syndicated television program Siskel and Ebert and the Movies . In a later episode , Ebert ranked A Simple Plan at number four on his list of the `` Best Films of 1998 '' . Online film critic James Berardinelli praised Billy Bob Thornton 's performance as being `` the most striking that A Simple Plan has to offer . '' He also praised the other performers , writing `` Paxton 's part is deceptively complex in the way he shows how paranoia , greed , and deception can erode the conscience of even the best - intentioned of men . Brent Briscoe plays Lou as the most untrustworthy and avaricious of souls . And Bridget Fonda offers solid support as a woman who stands by her man -- when she 's not taking control of his life , that is . '' After Paxton 's death in February 2017 , Matt Zoller Seitz of RogerEbert.com cited his performance as Hank Mitchell to be Paxton 's career best , stating that `` The film might constitute Paxton 's most sorrowful performance as well as his most frightening ... an outwardly ordinary man who has no idea what kind of evil he 's capable of '' . Sam Raimi was repeatedly praised for his direction . Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly wrote that the film was `` lean , elegant , and emotionally complex -- a marvel of backwoods classicism '' and that it was `` proof that Raimi , after the splatterific Evil Dead series and the lushly operatic Darkman , has now grown into a filmmaker of ravishing maturity and skill . '' Siskel , writing for the Chicago Tribune , said that the film was `` an exceedingly well - directed genre picture by ( Raimi ) ... ( who ) does an excellent job of presaging the lethal violence that follows . From his very first images we know that bodies are going to start to pile up . '' Janet Maslin of The New York Times called the film a `` quietly devastating thriller directed by ( Raimi ) ... who makes a flawless segue into mainstream storytelling . '' Edward Guthmann of the San Francisco Chronicle wrote , `` ... for Raimi , whose mastery of visual effects has driven all of his previous films , A Simple Plan marks a tremendously successful break from the past . He 's drawn lovely , complex performances from Paxton and Thornton and proven that he can work effectively -- and movingly -- in a minor emotional key . '' While reviews of the film were mostly positive , A Simple Plan was not without its detractors . Regarding the plot and characters , Richard Schickel of Time wrote , `` There 's neither intricacy nor surprise in the narrative , and these dopes are tedious , witless company . '' Schlomo Schwartzberg of Boxoffice wrote , `` ... A Simple Plan clutters up the story with unnecessary acts of violence and murder , and mainly stays on the surface , offering little more than cheap jolts of melodrama . '' Accolades ( edit ) A Simple Plan garnered awards and nominations in a variety of categories with particular praise for its screenplay by Scott B. Smith and Billy Bob Thornton 's performance . At the 56th Golden Globe Awards , Thornton received a Best Supporting Actor nomination , but lost against Ed Harris , who received the award for his performance in The Truman Show . At the 71st Academy Awards , Thornton received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor , but lost against James Coburn , who won the award for his performance in Affliction. Smith received an Oscar nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay , but lost to Bill Condon , who won for Gods and Monsters . In addition to receiving various awards and nominations , A Simple Plan was named one of the `` Top 10 Films of 1998 '' by the National Board of Review .

The year before , the city of Savannah , Georgia , had been captured by a British expeditionary corps under Lieutenant - Colonel Archibald Campbell . The siege itself consisted of a joint Franco - American attempt to retake Savannah , from September 16 to October 18 , 1779 . On October 9 a major assault against the British siege works failed . During the attack , Polish nobleman Count Casimir Pułaski , leading the combined cavalry forces on the American side , was mortally wounded . With the failure of the joint attack , the siege was abandoned , and the British remained in control of Savannah until July 1782 , near the end of the war . In 1779 , more than 500 recruits from Saint - Domingue ( the French colony which later became Haiti ) , under the overall command of French nobleman Charles Hector , Comte d'Estaing , fought alongside American colonial troops against the British Army during the siege of Savannah . This was one of the most significant , foreign contributions to the American Revolutionary War . This French - colonial force had been established six months earlier and included hundreds of soldiers of color in addition to white soldiers and a couple black slaves . Contents ( hide ) 1 Background 1.1 British defenses 1.1. 1 Vessels 2 Siege 2.1 Attack 3 Aftermath and legacy 3.1 Battlefield archaeology 3.2 Influence on Haitian revolutionaries 4 See also 5 Notes 6 References 7 External links Background ( edit ) Following the failures of military campaigns in the northern United States earlier in the American Revolutionary War , British military planners decided to embark on a southern strategy to conquer the rebellious colonies , with the support of Loyalists in the South . Their first step was to gain control of the southern ports of Savannah , Georgia and Charleston , South Carolina . An expedition in December 1778 took Savannah with modest resistance from ineffective militia and Continental Army defenses . The Continental Army regrouped , and by June 1779 the combined army and militia forces guarding Charleston numbered between 5,000 and 7,000 men . General Benjamin Lincoln , commanding those forces , knew that he could not recapture Savannah without naval assistance ; for this he turned to the French , who had entered the war as an American ally in 1778 . French Admiral the Comte d'Estaing spent the first part of 1779 in the Caribbean , where his fleet and a British fleet monitored each other 's movements . He took advantage of conditions to capture Grenada in July before acceding to American requests for support in operations against Savannah . On September 3 -- an uncharacteristically early arrival as there was still substantial risk of seasonal hurricanes -- a few French ships arrived at Charleston with news that d'Estaing was sailing for Georgia with twenty - five ships of the line and 4,000 French troops . Lincoln and the French emissaries agreed on a plan of attack on Savannah , and Lincoln left Charleston with over 2,000 men on September 11 . British defenses ( edit ) British troop strength in the area consisted of about 6,500 regulars at Brunswick , Georgia , another 900 at Beaufort , South Carolina , under Colonel John Maitland , and about 100 Loyalists at Sunbury , Georgia . General Augustine Prevost , in command of these troops from his base at Savannah , was caught unprepared when the French fleet began to arrive off Tybee Island near Savannah and recalled the troops stationed at Beaufort and Sunbury to aid in the city 's defense . Captain Moncrief of the Royal Engineers was tasked with constructing fortifications to repulse the invaders . Using 500 -- 800 African - American slaves working up to twelve hours per day , Moncrief constructed an entrenched defensive line , which included redoubts , nearly 1,200 feet ( 370 m ) long , on the plains outside the city . Vessels ( edit ) The British Royale Navy contributed two over-age frigates , HMS Foley and HMS Rose . They landed their guns and most of their men to reinforce the land forces . In addition , the British also deployed the armed brig Keppel and the armed ship Germaine , the latter from the East Florida navy . There were two galleys , Comet and Thunder , also from East Florida . Lastly , the British armed two merchant vessels , Savannah and Venus . Also East Georgia Siege ( edit ) A map of the siege D'Estaing began landing troops below the city on September 12 , and began moving in by September 16 . Confident of victory , and believing that Maitland 's reinforcements would be prevented from reaching Savannah by Lincoln , he offered Prevost the opportunity to surrender . Prevost delayed , asking for 24 hours of truce . Owing to miscommunication about who was responsible for preventing Maitland 's movements , the waterways separating South Carolina 's Hilton Head Island from the mainland were left unguarded , and Maitland was able to reach Savannah hours before the truce ended . Prevost 's response to d'Estaing's offer was a polite refusal , despite the arrival of Lincoln 's forces . On 19 September , as Charles - Marie de Trolong du Rumain moved his squadron up the river , he exchanged fire with Comet , Thunder , Savannah , and Venus . The next day the British scuttled Rose , which was leaking badly , just below the town to impede the French vessels from progressing further . They also burnt Savannah and Venus . By scuttling Rose in a narrow part of the channel , the British effectively blocked it . Consequently , the French fleet was unable to assist the American assault . Germaine took up a position to protect the north side of Savannah 's defenses . Comet and Thunder had the mission of opposing any attempt by the South Carolinian galleys to bombard the town . Over the next few days , British shore batteries assisted Comet and Thunder in engagements with the two South Carolinian galleys ; during one of these , they severely damaged Revenge . The French commander , rejecting the idea of assaulting the British defenses , unloaded cannons from his ships and began a bombardment of the city . The city , rather than the entrenched defenses , bore the brunt of this bombardment , which lasted from October 3 to 8 . `` The appearance of the town afforded a melancholy prospect , for there was hardly a house that had not been shot through '' , wrote one British observer . When the bombardment failed to have the desired effect , d'Estaing changed his mind , and decided it was time to try an assault . He was motivated in part by the desire to finish the operation quickly , as scurvy and dysentery were becoming problems on his ships , and some of his supplies were running low . While a traditional siege operation would likely have succeeded eventually , it would have taken longer than d'Estaing was prepared to stay . Attack ( edit ) Against the advice of many of his officers , d'Estaing launched the assault against the British position on the morning of October 9 . The success depended in part on the secrecy of some its aspects , which were betrayed to Prevost well before the operations were supposed to begin around 4 : 00 am . Fog caused troops attacking the Spring Hill redoubt to get lost in the swamps , and it was nearly daylight when the attack finally got underway . The redoubt on the right side of the British works had been chosen by the French admiral in part because he believed it to be defended only by militia . In fact , it was defended by a combination of militia and Scotsmen from John Maitland 's 71st Regiment of Foot , Fraser 's Highlanders , who had distinguished themselves at Stono Ferry . The militia included riflemen , who easily picked - off the white - clad French troops when the assault was underway . Admiral d'Estaing was twice wounded , and Polish cavalry officer Casimir Pułaski , fighting with the Americans , was mortally wounded . By the time the second wave arrived near the redoubt , the first wave was in complete disarray , and the trenches below the redoubt were filled with bodies . Attacks intended as feints against other redoubts of the British position were easily taken . The second assault column was commanded by the Swedish Count Curt von Stedingk , who managed to reach the last trench . He later wrote in his journal , `` I had the pleasure of planting the American flag on the last trench , but the enemy renewed its attack and our people were annihilated by cross-fire '' . He was forced back by overwhelming numbers of British troops , left with some 20 men -- all were wounded , including von Stedingk . He later wrote , `` The moment of retreat with the cries of our dying comrades piercing my heart was the bitterest of my life '' . After an hour of carnage , d'Estaing ordered a retreat . On October 17 , Lincoln and d'Estaing abandoned the siege . Aftermath and legacy ( edit ) The battle was one of the bloodiest of the war . While Prevost claimed Franco - American losses at 1,000 to 1,200 , the actual tally of 244 killed , nearly 600 wounded and 120 taken prisoner , was severe enough . British casualties were comparatively light : 40 killed , 63 wounded , and 52 missing . Sir Henry Clinton wrote , `` I think that this is the greatest event that has happened the whole war , '' and celebratory cannons were fired when the news reached London . It was perhaps because of the Siege 's reputation as a famous British victory that Charles Dickens chose the siege of Savannah as the place for Joe Willet to be wounded ( losing his arm ) in the novel Barnaby Rudge . Three currently - existing Army National Guard units ( 118th FA , 131st MP and 263rd ADA ) are derived from American units that participated in the Siege of Savannah . There are only thirty current U.S. Army units with lineages that go back to the colonial era . Battlefield archaeology ( edit ) In 2005 , archaeologists with the Coastal Heritage Society ( CHS ) and the LAMAR Institute discovered portions of the British fortifications at Spring Hill , the site of the worst part of the Franco - American attack on October 9 . The find represents the first tangible remains of the battlefield . In 2008 , the CHS / LAMAR Institute archaeology team discovered another segment of the British fortifications in Madison Square . A detailed report of that project is available on line in pdf format from the CHS website . CHS archaeologists are currently finalizing a follow - up grant project in Savannah , which examined several outlying portions of the battlefield . These included the position of the Saint - Domingue reserve troops at the Jewish Burying Ground west of Savannah . An archaeology presentation and public meeting took place in February 2011 to gather suggestions for managing Savannah 's Revolutionary War battlefield resources . Archaeologist Rita Elliott from the Coastal Heritage Society revealed Revolutionary War discoveries in Savannah stemming from the two `` Savannah Under Fire '' projects conducted from 2007 to 2011 . The projects uncovered startling discoveries , including trenches , fortifications , and battle debris . The research also showed that residents and tourists are interested in these sites . Archaeologists described the findings and explored ways to generate economic income which could be used for improving the quality - of - life of area residents . General Casimir Pułaski postage stamp , 1931 Issue , 2c The battle is commemorated each year by Presidential proclamation , on General Pulaski Memorial Day . Influence on Haitian revolutionaries ( edit ) The battle is much - remembered in Haitian history ; the Chasseurs - Volontaires de Saint - Domingue , consisting of some 545 gens de couleur -- free men of color from Saint - Domingue -- fought with the Americans . Henri Christophe , who later declared himself to be the king of ( northern ) Haiti , while a republic was established in southern Haiti , was 22 - years old at the time and may have been among these troops . Many other less - famous individuals from Saint - Domingue served in this regiment and formed the officer class of the rebel armies in the Haitian Revolution , especially in the northern province around today 's Cap - Haïtien , where the unit was recruited .

When trying to tell Lisa how much he needs her , she informs Brad that she wants to break up with him in order to date other guys . Brad then quits his job at Captain Hook Fish & Chips because of the humiliation of having to wear a pirate costume when delivering food . Brad 's sister Stacy is a 15 - year - old sophomore and also a virgin . She works at a pizza parlor at the Ridgemont Mall alongside her outspoken friend , the popular and sexually active Linda Barrett . One night at work , Stacy takes an order from Ron Johnson , a 26 - year - old stereo salesman who asks her out after she tells him she 's 19 years old . She later sneaks out of her house to meet him and they have sex in a dugout at a softball field . Stacy never hears from Ron again , revealing the loss of her virginity to Linda . Mike Damone , a somewhat smooth - talking know - it - all , who earns money taking bets and scalping concert tickets , fancies himself a sagacious and worldly ladies ' man . Mike 's shy but amiable friend Mark Ratner works at the movie theater across from the pizza parlor at the mall . When Mark proclaims his love for Stacy to him , Mike lets Mark in on his five secrets for picking up girls . Mike later convinces Mark to ask Stacy out on a date to a German restaurant . Afterwards , at her home , Stacy invites Mark into her bedroom , where they look at Stacy 's photo album together . They begin to kiss , but Mark abruptly leaves after Stacy attempts to seduce him . Stacy mistakenly interprets Mark 's shyness as disinterest . Eventually Stacy becomes interested in Damone and she invites him to have a swim in her pool , which leads to them having sex in the pool house . Stacy later informs Damone that she is pregnant , and tells him she 's scheduled an abortion and wants him to pay half of the bill . On the day of her appointment , embarrassed at being unable to raise the money for his half of the bill , Damone begins to ignore Stacy . Stacy asks Brad to drive her to a bowling alley to meet friends , but Brad sees Stacy enter the abortion clinic across the street . Brad waits for Stacy and he confronts her about the abortion . Stacy has Brad promise not to tell their parents . When Stacy tells Linda , Linda becomes angry at Damone , leading to an almost physical confrontation between Damone and Mark in the boys ' locker room until it is broken up by the gym teacher . Jeff Spicoli is a stoner and surfer who runs afoul of strict history teacher Mr. Hand , who is intolerant of Spicoli 's disregard of the rules of his classroom . One night , Spicoli wrecks Ridgemont star football player Charles Jefferson 's 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 during a joyride with Jefferson 's younger brother . Spicoli decides to park the car in front of the school with slurs painted on it supposedly written by Ridgemont 's rival , Lincoln High .

( September 2013 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Fast Times was filmed in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles ( though the location is never mentioned in the film ) from November 10 through December 28 , 1981 . Many people identify the movie with that area and the teen culture associated with it in the early 1980s . `` Ridgemont '' is the name Crowe gave to Clairemont , the San Diego high school at which he posed as a student . ( Spicoli mentions surfing at Sunset Cliffs , a genuine surf spot in San Diego . ) Most of the exteriors of Ridgemont High School were shot at Van Nuys High School , and other scenes were shot at Canoga Park High School . The `` carrot '' scene and football game were shot at James Monroe High School in Sepulveda ( now called North Hills ) . The `` Ridgemont Mall '' scenes used Sherman Oaks Galleria for interiors , and Santa Monica Place for exterior shots . Both have since been converted to open - air malls . `` The Point '' was filmed at the Encino Little League Field in Encino . In the DVD commentary , director Heckerling tells of how Cates was initially reluctant to carry out her character 's poolside topless scene at the house in West Hills because she thought the neighbors might be spying on the set from the surrounding rooftops .

When each woman wears one of the earrings , their bodies magically trade places while their minds remain where they were . In the present day , Jessica Spencer ( Rachel McAdams ) is a popular high school girl in suburban California with her friends April ( Anna Faris ) , Keecia ( Maritza Murray ) , and Lulu ( Alexandra Holden ) . April is Jessica 's best friend , and all four girls are cheerleaders . At school one day , Jessica makes fun of a bigger girl named Hildenburg ( Megan Kuhlmann ) and a wiccan girl named Eden ( Sam Doumit ) . After that , Jessica and her friends visit the local mall , where Jessica frames her rival Bianca ( Maria - Elena Laas ) for shoplifting , and finds the earrings in an African - themed store . The earrings are not for sale , so Jessica steals them . Shortly afterward , a small - time criminal named Clive Maxtone ( Rob Schneider ) robs a nearby gas station . When Jessica and her friends stop there and mistake him for an employee , he services their car to avoid raising suspicion . Jessica accidentally drops one of the earrings on the ground , and Clive picks it up after the girls drive away . That evening , Jessica and Clive put on their earrings . When they wake up the next morning , each of them is trapped in the other 's body . This is especially difficult for Jessica , who has a cheerleading competition and the school prom coming up soon . While at first difficult , Jessica convinces April , Keecia , and Lulu of her true identity . The girls write a list of suspects of who could be responsible . They first seek Hildenburg , where Jessica apologizes for humiliating her in front of the entire school during the basketball game earlier , and the two make amends . They soon seek Eden , where Jessica also apologizes for her jealousy of Eden getting the only `` A '' on a report of the Salem witch trials . Eden reveals an ancient Latin witchcraft called `` Santeria '' , which originated in Africa , and found its way into Cuba and Brazil . Lulu ties this connection to Bianca , but Eden reveals that only a tattoo of a scorpion on her back could confirm this . While investigating at a dance club called ' Instant Tang ' , Bianca is proven innocent after Jessica rips her shirt to see if she has the tattoo , which she does n't . The girls then find a picture of the earrings on the internet , and the girls post fliers all over town . They also get help from Keecia 's awkward mother ( Jodi Long ) and Venetia and Sissie ( Tia Mowry and Tamera Mowry ) , twin sisters who are on Jessica 's cheerleading squad . The girls tell this to Madame Mambuza ( Angie Stone ) , the owner of the African store at the mall . Madame Mambuza tells the girls the story of Princess Nawa , who , after switching bodies , was unaware that she had to bring the earrings back together . Nawa lived the rest of her life in the slave 's body . Jessica could suffer the same fate if she does not unite the earrings before the end of the full moon . Meanwhile , Jessica is hired for two jobs while secretly living with April . At her home , where she works as a gardener named Taquito , her parents tell her about their marital problems and she helps them rekindle their sex life . At school , while cleaning the boys ' locker room as a janitor , she spies on her boyfriend Billy ( Matthew Lawrence ) , who truly loves her and April 's boyfriend Jake ( Eric Christian Olsen ) , who secretly has another girlfriend named Monique ( Ashlee Simpson ) . Faced with Jake 's infidelity , April breaks up with him , and Jessica agrees to take her to the prom . At the cheerleading competition , Jessica signals romantically to Billy while disguised as the school mascot , but when the head of her suit falls off , he becomes confused and leaves with Bianca . During this time , Clive has been using Jessica 's body to make money from men , including Billy , who gives him his money and car , believing he is Jessica . On the evening of the prom , Hildenburg sees a video of Clive robbing a man on the television news and goes to the scene of the crime . After finding a business card for the club where Clive works as a pole dancer , she informs Jessica at the prom , and the girls go to the club . When they find Clive , Jessica steals his earring and puts it on herself along with the other one . With the two earrings now on the same person , Jessica 's and Clive 's bodies return to their original owners . After Jessica makes up with Billy , the film ends with the school 's graduation ceremony , where Keecia and her mother reconcile . The previous night , Clive , running from the law and still dressed in lingerie , jumps into the car of the same bartender ( Scott Dolezal ) Jessica encountered in the body of Clive . The bartender smiles and locks the car door . The movie ends with the car speeding away , and Clive turning around and screaming .

The Pooh stories have been translated into many languages , including Alexander Lenard 's Latin translation , Winnie ille Pu , which was first published in 1958 , and , in 1960 , became the only Latin book ever to have been featured on The New York Times Best Seller list . Hyphens in the character 's name were dropped by Disney when the company adapted the Pooh stories into a series of features that became one of its most successful franchises . In popular film adaptations , Pooh Bear has been voiced by actors Sterling Holloway , Hal Smith , and Jim Cummings in English , and Yevgeny Leonov in Russian .

Clockwise from bottom left : Tigger , Kanga , Edward Bear ( `` Winnie - the - Pooh '' ) , Eeyore , and Piglet . Roo was lost long ago ; the other characters were made up for the stories . A.A. Milne named the character Winnie - the - Pooh after a teddy bear owned by his son , Christopher Robin Milne , who was the basis for the character Christopher Robin . The rest of Christopher Robin Milne 's toys -- Piglet , Eeyore , Kanga , Roo , and Tigger -- were incorporated into Milne 's stories . Two more characters , Owl and Rabbit , were created by Milne 's imagination , while Gopher was added to the Disney version . Christopher Robin 's toy bear is on display at the Main Branch of the New York Public Library in New York City . Harry Colebourn and Winnie , 1914 Christopher Milne had named his toy bear after Winnie , a Canadian black bear he often saw at London Zoo , and `` Pooh '' , a swan they had met while on holiday . The bear cub was purchased from a hunter for $20 by Canadian Lieutenant Harry Colebourn in White River , Ontario , Canada , while en route to England during the First World War . He named the bear `` Winnie '' after his adopted hometown in Winnipeg , Manitoba . `` Winnie '' was surreptitiously brought to England with her owner , and gained unofficial recognition as The Fort Garry Horse regimental mascot . Colebourn left Winnie at the London Zoo while he and his unit were in France ; after the war she was officially donated to the zoo , as she had become a much loved attraction there . Pooh the swan appears as a character in its own right in When We Were Very Young . Statue in Winnipeg of Harry Colebourn and Winnie In the first chapter of Winnie - the - Pooh , Milne offers this explanation of why Winnie - the - Pooh is often called simply `` Pooh '' : But his arms were so stiff ... they stayed up straight in the air for more than a week , and whenever a fly came and settled on his nose he had to blow it off . And I think -- but I am not sure -- that that is why he is always called Pooh . The American writer William Safire surmised that the Milnes ' invention of the name `` Winnie the Pooh '' may have also been influenced by the haughty character Pooh - Bah in Gilbert and Sullivan 's The Mikado ( 1885 ) . Ashdown forest : the setting for the stories The Winnie - the - Pooh stories are set in Ashdown Forest , East Sussex , England . The forest is a large area of tranquil open heathland on the highest sandy ridges of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty situated 30 miles ( 50 km ) south of London . In 1925 Milne , a Londoner , bought a country home a mile to the north of the forest at Cotchford Farm , near Hartfield . According to Christopher Milne , while his father continued to live in London `` ... the four of us -- he , his wife , his son and his son 's nanny -- would pile into a large blue , chauffeur - driven Fiat and travel down every Saturday morning and back again every Monday afternoon . And we would spend a whole glorious month there in the spring and two months in the summer . '' From the front lawn the family had a view across a meadow to a line of alders that fringed the River Medway , beyond which the ground rose through more trees until finally `` above them , in the faraway distance , crowning the view , was a bare hilltop . In the centre of this hilltop was a clump of pines . '' Most of his father 's visits to the forest at this time were , he noted , family expeditions on foot `` to make yet another attempt to count the pine trees on Gill 's Lap or to search for the marsh gentian '' . Christopher added that , inspired by Ashdown Forest , his father had made it `` the setting for two of his books , finishing the second little over three years after his arrival '' . Many locations in the stories can be linked to real places in and around the forest . As Christopher Milne wrote in his autobiography : `` Pooh 's forest and Ashdown Forest are identical '' . For example , the fictional `` Hundred Acre Wood '' was in reality Five Hundred Acre Wood ; Galleon 's Leap was inspired by the prominent hilltop of Gill 's Lap , while a clump of trees just north of Gill 's Lap became Christopher Robin 's The Enchanted Place because no - one had ever been able to count whether there were sixty - three or sixty - four trees in the circle . The landscapes depicted in E.H. Shepard 's illustrations for the Winnie - the - Pooh books were directly inspired by the distinctive landscape of Ashdown Forest , with its high , open heathlands of heather , gorse , bracken and silver birch punctuated by hilltop clumps of pine trees . Many of Shepard 's illustrations can be matched to actual views , allowing for a degree of artistic licence . Shepard 's sketches of pine trees and other forest scenes are held at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London . The game of Poohsticks was originally played by Christopher Milne on a footbridge across a tributary of the River Medway in Posingford Wood , close to Cotchford Farm . The wooden bridge is now a tourist attraction , and it has become traditional to play the game there using sticks gathered in nearby woodland . When the footbridge recently had to be replaced , the engineer designed a new structure based closely on the drawings of the bridge by Shepard in the books , which were somewhat different than the original structure . First publication Winnie - the - Pooh 's debut in the 24 December 1925 London Evening News Christopher Robin 's teddy bear , Edward , made his character début in A.A. Milne 's poem , `` Teddy Bear '' , in the edition of 13 February 1924 of Punch , and the same poem was published in Milne 's book of children 's verse When We Were Very Young ( 6 November 1924 ) . Winnie - the - Pooh first appeared by name on 24 December 1925 , in a Christmas story commissioned and published by the London newspaper The Evening News . It was illustrated by J.H. Dowd . The first collection of Pooh stories appeared in the book Winnie - the - Pooh . The Evening News Christmas story reappeared as the first chapter of the book . At the beginning , it explained that Pooh was in fact Christopher Robin 's Edward Bear , who had been renamed by the boy . He was renamed after a black bear at London Zoo called Winnie who got her name from the fact that her owner had come from Winnipeg , Canada . The book was published in October 1926 by the publisher of Milne 's earlier children 's work , Methuen , in England , and E.P. Dutton in the United States . Character In the Milne books , Pooh is naive and slow - witted , but he is also friendly , thoughtful , and steadfast . Although he and his friends agree that he `` has no Brain '' , Pooh is occasionally acknowledged to have a clever idea , usually driven by common sense . These include riding in Christopher Robin 's umbrella to rescue Piglet from a flood , discovering `` the North Pole '' by picking it up to help fish Roo out of the river , inventing the game of Poohsticks , and getting Eeyore out of the river by dropping a large rock on one side of him to wash him towards the bank . Pooh is also a talented poet , and the stories are frequently punctuated by his poems and `` hums . '' Although he is humble about his slow - wittedness , he is comfortable with his creative gifts . When Owl 's house blows down in a storm , trapping Pooh and Piglet and Owl inside , Pooh encourages Piglet ( the only one small enough to do so ) to escape and rescue them all by promising that `` a respectful Pooh song '' will be written about Piglet 's feat . Later , Pooh muses about the creative process as he composes the song . Pooh is very fond of food , especially `` hunny '' but also condensed milk and other items . When he visits friends , his desire to be offered a snack is in conflict with the impoliteness of asking too directly . Though intending to give Eeyore a pot of honey for his birthday , Pooh can not resist eating the honey on his way to deliver the present , and so instead gives Eeyore `` a useful pot to put things in '' . When he and Piglet are lost in the forest during Rabbit 's attempt to `` unbounce '' Tigger , Pooh finds his way home by following the `` call '' of the honeypots from his house . Pooh makes it a habit to have `` a little something '' around eleven o'clock in the morning . As the clock in his house `` stopped at five minutes to eleven some weeks ago , '' any time can be Pooh 's snack time . Pooh is very social . After Christopher Robin , his closest friend is Piglet , and he most often chooses to spend his time with one or both of them . But he also habitually visits the other animals , often looking for a snack or an audience for his poetry as much as for companionship . His kind - heartedness means he goes out of his way to be friendly to Eeyore , visiting him and bringing him a birthday present and building him a house , despite receiving mostly disdain from Eeyore in return . Sequel An authorised sequel Return to the Hundred Acre Wood was published on 5 October 2009 . The author , David Benedictus , has developed , but not changed , Milne 's characterisations . The illustrations , by Mark Burgess , are in the style of Shepard . Another authorised sequel , The Best Bear in All the World , was published by Egmont in 2016 . The sequel consists of four short stories by four leading children 's authors , Kate Saunders , Brian Sibley , Paul Bright , and Jeanne Willis . Illustrations are by Mark Burgess . The Best Bear in All The World sees the introduction of a new character , a Penguin , which was inspired by a long - lost photograph of Milne and his son Christopher with a toy penguin . A further special story , Winnie - the - Pooh Meets the Queen , was published in 2016 to mark the 90th anniversary of Milne 's creation and the 90th birthday of Elizabeth II . It sees Winnie the Pooh meet the Queen at Buckingham Palace . Stephen Slesinger On 6 January 1930 , Stephen Slesinger purchased US and Canadian merchandising , television , recording and other trade rights to the `` Winnie - the - Pooh '' works from Milne for a $1000 advance and 66 % of Slesinger 's income , creating the modern licensing industry . By November 1931 , Pooh was a $50 million - a-year business . Slesinger marketed Pooh and his friends for more than 30 years , creating the first Pooh doll , record , board game , puzzle , US radio broadcast ( NBC ) , animation , and motion picture film . Red shirt Pooh The first time Pooh and his friends appeared in colour was 1932 , when he was drawn by Slesinger in his now - familiar red shirt and featured on an RCA Victor picture record . Parker Brothers introduced A.A. Milne 's Winnie - the - Pooh Game in 1933 , again with Pooh in his red shirt . In the 1940s , Agnes Brush created the first plush dolls with Pooh in his red shirt . Shepard had drawn Pooh with a shirt as early as the first Winnie - The - Pooh book , which was subsequently coloured red in later coloured editions . Disney ownership era ( 1966 -- present ) Main article : Winnie the Pooh ( franchise ) After Slesinger 's death in 1953 , his wife , Shirley Slesinger Lasswell , continued developing the character herself . In 1961 , she licensed rights to Walt Disney Productions in exchange for royalties in the first of two agreements between Stephen Slesinger , Inc. and Disney . The same year , A.A. Milne 's widow , Daphne Milne , also licensed certain rights , including motion picture rights , to Disney . Since 1966 , Disney has released numerous animated productions starring Winnie the Pooh and related characters . These have included theatrical featurettes , television series , and direct - to - video films , as well as the theatrical feature - length films The Tigger Movie , Piglet 's Big Movie , Pooh 's Heffalump Movie , and Winnie the Pooh . Merchandising revenue dispute Pooh videos , soft toys , and other merchandise generate substantial annual revenues for Disney . The size of Pooh stuffed toys ranges from Beanie and miniature to human - sized . In addition to the stylised Disney Pooh , Disney markets Classic Pooh merchandise which more closely resembles E.H. Shepard 's illustrations . In 1991 , Stephen Slesinger , Inc. filed a lawsuit against Disney which alleged that Disney had breached their 1983 agreement by again failing to accurately report revenue from Winnie the Pooh sales . Under this agreement , Disney was to retain approximately 98 % of gross worldwide revenues while the remaining 2 % was to be paid to Slesinger . In addition , the suit alleged that Disney had failed to pay required royalties on all commercial exploitation of the product name . Though the Disney corporation was sanctioned by a judge for destroying forty boxes of evidential documents , the suit was later terminated by another judge when it was discovered that Slesinger 's investigator had rummaged through Disney 's garbage to retrieve the discarded evidence . Slesinger appealed the termination and , on 26 September 2007 , a three - judge panel upheld the lawsuit dismissal . After the Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998 , Clare Milne , Christopher Milne 's daughter , attempted to terminate any future US copyrights for Stephen Slesinger , Inc . After a series of legal hearings , Judge Florence - Marie Cooper of the US District Court in California found in favour of Stephen Slesinger , Inc. , as did the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit . On 26 June 2006 , the US Supreme Court refused to hear the case , sustaining the ruling and ensuring the defeat of the suit . On 19 February 2007 Disney lost a court case in Los Angeles which ruled their `` misguided claims '' to dispute the licensing agreements with Slesinger , Inc. were unjustified , but a federal ruling of 28 September 2009 , again from Judge Florence - Marie Cooper , determined that the Slesinger family had granted all trademarks and copyrights to Disney , although Disney must pay royalties for all future use of the characters . Both parties have expressed satisfaction with the outcome .

Unabridged recordings read by Peter Dennis of the four Pooh books : When We Were Very Young Winnie - the - Pooh Now We Are Six The House at Pooh Corner In 1979 a double audio cassette set of `` Winnie the Pooh '' was produced featuring British actor Lionel Jeffries reading all characters in the stories . This was followed in 1981 by an audio cassette set of stories from `` House at Pooh Corner '' also read by Lionel Jeffries . In the 1990s , the stories were dramatised for audio by David Benedictus , with music composed , directed and played by John Gould . They were performed by a cast that included Stephen Fry as Winnie - the - Pooh , Jane Horrocks as Piglet , Geoffrey Palmer as Eeyore , and Judi Dench as Kanga . Radio Winnie - the - Pooh was broadcast by Donald Calthrop over all BBC stations on Christmas Day , 1925 . Pooh made his US radio debut on 10 November 1932 , when he was broadcast to 40,000 schools by The American School of the Air , the educational division of the Columbia Broadcasting System . Film 2017 : Goodbye Christopher Robin , a drama film exploring the creation of Winnie - the - Pooh by A.A. Milne . Soviet adaptation A postage stamp showing Piglet and Winnie - the - Pooh as they appear in the Soviet adaptation In the Soviet Union , three Winnie - the - Pooh , ( transcribed in Russian as `` Vinni Pukh '' ) ( Russian language : Винни - Пух ) stories were made into a celebrated trilogy of short films by Soyuzmultfilm ( directed by Fyodor Khitruk ) from 1969 to 1972 , after being granted permission by Disney to make their own adaptation in a gesture of Cold War détente . Винни - Пух ( Winnie - the - Pooh , 1969 ) -- based on chapter 1 Винни - Пух идёт в гости ( Winnie - the - Pooh Pays a Visit , 1971 ) -- based on chapter 2 Винни - Пух и день забот ( Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day , 1972 ) -- based on chapters 4 and 6 . Films use Boris Zakhoder 's translation of the book . Pooh was voiced by Yevgeny Leonov . Unlike the Disney adaptations , the animators did not base their depictions of the characters on Shepard 's illustrations , creating a different look . The Soviet adaptations make extensive use of Milne 's original text , and often bring out aspects of Milne 's characters ' personalities not used in the Disney adaptations . Television Winnie - the - Pooh and his friends debuted on NBC Television in 1958 - 1960 . 1958 - 1960 : Shirley Temple 's Storybook on NBC : Winnie - the - Pooh ' A marioneets version of Winnie The Pooh , designed , made and operated by Bil And Cora Baird , .

Benjamin Hoff used Milne 's characters in The Tao of Pooh and The Te of Piglet to explain Taoism . Similarly , Frederick Crews wrote essays about the Pooh books in abstruse academic jargon in The Pooh Perplex and Postmodern Pooh to satirise a range of philosophical approaches . Pooh and the Philosophers by John T. Williams uses Winnie the Pooh as a backdrop to illustrate the works of philosophers including Descartes , Kant , Plato , and Nietzsche . Epic Pooh is a 1978 essay by Michael Moorcock that compares much fantasy writing to AA Milne 's as work intended to comfort , not challenge . One of the best known characters in British children 's literature , a 2011 poll saw Winnie the Pooh voted onto the list of icons of England . Forbes magazine ranked Pooh the most valuable fictional character in 2002 , with merchandising products alone generating more than $5.9 billion that year . In 2005 , Pooh generated $6 billion , a figure surpassed by only Mickey Mouse . In 2006 , Pooh received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame , marking the 80th birthday of Milne 's creation . The bear is such a popular character in Poland that a Warsaw street is named for him , Ulica Kubusia Puchatka . There is also a street named after him in Budapest ( Micimackó utca ) . In music , Kenny Loggins wrote the song `` House at Pooh Corner '' , which was originally recorded by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band . Loggins later rewrote the song as `` Return to Pooh Corner '' , featuring on the album of the same name in 1991 . In Italy , a pop band took their name from Winnie , and were titled Pooh . In Estonia there is a punk / metal band called Winny Puhh . In the `` sport '' of Poohsticks , competitors drop sticks into a stream from a bridge and then wait to see whose stick will cross the finish line first . Though it began as a game played by Pooh and his friends in the book The House at Pooh Corner and later in the films , it has crossed over into the real world : a World Championship Poohsticks race takes place in Oxfordshire each year . Ashdown Forest in England where the Pooh stories are set is a popular tourist attraction , and includes the wooden Pooh Bridge where Pooh and Piglet invented Poohsticks . The Oxford University Winnie the Pooh Society was founded by undergraduates in 1982 . In the People 's Republic of China , images of Pooh were censored in mid-2017 from social media websites , when internet memes comparing Chinese president Xi Jinping to Pooh became popular .

where did winnie the pooh get his name
[ "Christopher Milne had named his toy bear after Winnie, a Canadian black bear he often saw at London Zoo, and \"Pooh\", a swan they had met while on holiday. The bear cub was purchased from a hunter for $20 by Canadian Lieutenant Harry Colebourn in White River, Ontario, Canada, while en route to England during the First World War.[5] He named the bear \"Winnie\" after his adopted hometown in Winnipeg, Manitoba. \"Winnie\" was surreptitiously brought to England with her owner, and gained unofficial recognition as The Fort Garry Horse regimental mascot. Colebourn left Winnie at the London Zoo while he and his unit were in France; after the war she was officially donated to the zoo, as she had become a much loved attraction there.[6] Pooh the swan appears as a character in its own right in When We Were Very Young.\n" ]

Cannon responded via his Twitter account , while Mariah released a song and video titled `` Obsessed '' , with lyrics and visuals aimed at Eminem . Eminem responded with a mixtape - style track called `` The Warning '' in which he addressed both Cannon and Mariah , and later commented that he was finished talking about the subject . The feud was thought to have been over until in September 2010 when Cannon responded with the song `` I 'm a Slick Rick '' , in which he takes shots at Eminem in Slick Rick 's flow over the instrumental for Cali Swag District 's `` Teach Me How to Dougie '' . This was followed by a campaign via Facebook , Twitter , and his radio show proposing a boxing ring fight between Eminem and Cannon for charity . In late September 2011 , over a year after `` I 'm a Slick Rick '' was released , Cannon took another lyrical jab at Eminem by releasing a song called `` I Remember '' . On October 3 , 2011 , Cannon released another song called `` Warning ( Remix ) '' featuring Uncle Murda , aimed at Eminem , radio host Charlamagne Tha God , and the feud between R&B singer Ray J and rapper Fabolous . The song features Cannon firing lyrical shots at Eminem and an audio clip of Eminem with Tim Westwood back in 2009 where Eminem saying : `` I had no idea Nick Cannon was going to start ' wiling out ' on me , '' referring to Cannon 's then canceled Wild ' n Out television show . Cannon retorted to the clip by saying : `` You said it Marshall , that 's all you had to do ! '' and that Slim Shady is `` forgiven . '' On June 2 , 2016 , Cannon had an interview with Tim Westwood . Westwood said , `` Last time I saw you , you were getting ready to battle Eminem . '' Cannon responded , `` I 'm still ready ! I 'm trying to find him . Where is he ? ... We gon na be out in the States for the BET Awards . I 'm holding a $100,000 battle -- whoever wants it -- but it has to be someone who can put up 100 grand ... I done reached out to Tyga , he did n't want it . I went to all Slaughterhouse . I did it like Mortal Kombat , I said I 'll take all of them out to get to the boss . '' Throughout the interview , Westwood goads Cannon along , saying , `` Nick , you 're the best fam . I do n't think you 'd win against Eminem , but you are the best in many other ways . '' Cannon plays along with everything and says , `` At least tell him to show up to the match . I ca n't win by default . '' On June 16 , 2016 , Cannon pours out his heart in a track titled `` Divorce Papers . '' He recently refused to sign divorce papers with his ex-wife Mariah Carey . He also mentioned his father passing away . Cannon used some lines in the track as a response for the hate comments he had from Eminem 's fans , who are known as `` Stans '' . He mentions Eminem in a few lines . He said that he can relate to the drug life Eminem had . `` Em , right now I could really relate to him . Drug habits , all the pain that he was in . '' The last thing he mentioned in the track , he talks about himself finally signing the divorce papers . `` It 's been over two years and I 'm the one that 's been waitin ' . It 's fucked up that the time that you spend with your own kids is called ' visitation ' ? Man , fuck it , let 's sign these papers .

Scarab (artifact)
Scarab ( artifact ) - wikipedia Scarab ( artifact ) Jump to : navigation , search Commemorative Marriage Scarab for Queen Tiye from Amenhotep III . Walters Art Museum , Baltimore Scarabs were popular amulets and impression seals in Ancient Egypt . They survive in large numbers and , through their inscriptions and typology , they are an important source of information for archaeologists and historians of the ancient world . They also represent a significant body of ancient art . For reasons that are not clear ( although no doubt connected to the religious significance of the Egyptian god Khepri ) , amulets in the form of scarab beetles had become enormously popular in Ancient Egypt by the early Middle Kingdom ( approx. 2000 BCE ) and remained popular for the rest of the pharaonic period and beyond . During that long period the function of scarabs repeatedly changed . Primarily amulets , they were also inscribed for use as personal or administrative seals or were incorporated into jewelry . Some scarabs were apparently created for political or diplomatic purposes to commemorate or advertise royal achievements . By the early New Kingdom , heart scarabs had become part of the battery of amulets protecting mummies . From the middle Bronze Age , other ancient peoples of the Mediterranean and the Middle East imported scarabs from Egypt and also produced scarabs in Egyptian or local styles , especially in the Levant . Contents ( hide ) 1 Description 2 Religious significance of the scarab beetle 3 Historical development 4 Commemorative scarabs 5 Funerary scarabs 6 Scarabs with royal names 7 Literary and popular culture reference 8 Scarabs showing top and inscriptions 9 See also 10 References 11 Sources 12 External links Description ( edit ) Scarabs are usually identified as the dung beetle Scarabaeus sacer , here rolling a ball of dung . Scarabs ( beetles ) were produced in vast numbers for many centuries and many thousands have survived . They were generally intended to be worn or carried by the living . They were typically carved or moulded in the form of a scarab beetle ( usually identified as Scarabaeus sacer ) with varying degrees of naturalism but usually at least indicating the head , wing case and legs but with a flat base . The base was usually inscribed with designs and / or hieroglyphs to form an impression seal . Scarabs were usually drilled from end to end to allow them to be strung on a thread or incorporated into a swivel ring . The most common of sizes for scarabs is from 6mm to 4 cm ( length ) and most are probably between 1 cm and 2 cm long . Larger scarabs were made from time to time for particular purposes ( such as the commemorative scarabs of Amenhotep III ) . Heart scarabs ( typically 5 cm to 9 cm long , made of dark hardstone and not pierced for suspension ) were made for a specific funerary purpose and should be considered separately . Scarabs were generally either carved from stone or moulded from Egyptian faience . Once carved , they would typically be glazed blue or green and then fired . The most common stone used for scarabs was a form of steatite , a soft stone which becomes hard when fired ( forming enstatite ) . Hardstone scarabs were also made and the stones most commonly used were green jasper , amethyst and carnelian . While the majority of scarabs would originally have been green or blue the coloured glazes used have often either become discoloured or have been lost , leaving most steatite scarabs appearing white or brown. A scarab was often very light colors . Religious significance of the scarab beetle ( edit ) In ancient Egyptian religion , the sun god Ra is seen to roll across the sky each day , transforming bodies and souls . Beetles of the Scarabaeidae family ( dung beetle ) roll dung into a ball as food and as a brood chamber in which to lay eggs ; this way , the larvae hatch and are immediately surrounded by food . For these reasons the scarab was seen as a symbol of this heavenly cycle and of the idea of rebirth or regeneration . The Egyptian god Khepri , Ra as the rising sun , was often depicted as a scarab beetle or as a scarab beetle - headed man . The ancient Egyptians believed that Khepri renewed the sun every day before rolling it above the horizon , then carried it through the other world after sunset , only to renew it , again , the next day . A golden scarab of Nefertiti was discovered in the Uluburun wreck . Historical development ( edit ) Scaraboid seals are small impression seals , some 1.5 cm long . By the end of the First Intermediate Period ( about 2055 BCE ) scarabs had become extremely common . They largely replaced cylinder seals and circular `` button seals '' with simple geometric designs . Throughout the period in which they were made , Scarabs were often engraved with the names of pharaohs and other royal persons . In the Middle Kingdom scarabs were also engraved with the names and titles of officials and used as official seals . From the New Kingdom scarabs bearing the names and titles of officials became rarer , while scarabs bearing the names of gods , often combined with short prayers or mottos , like `` With Ra behind there is nothing to fear '' became more popular . These `` wish '' scarabs are often difficult to translate . Commemorative scarabs ( edit ) Amenhotep III ( immediate predecessor of Akhnaten ) is famous for having commemorative scarabs made . These were large ( mostly between 3.5 cm and 10 cm long ) and made of steatite . They are beautifully crafted scarabs , apparently created under royal supervision or control and carry lengthy inscriptions describing one of five important events in his reign ( and all of which mention his queen , Tiye ) . More than 200 examples have survived and they have been found in locations that suggest they were sent out as royal gifts / propaganda in support of Egyptian diplomatic activities . These large scarabs continued and developed an earlier Eighteenth Dynasty tradition of making scarabs celebrating specific royal achievements , such as the erection of obelisks at major temples during the reign of Thuthmosis III . The tradition was revived centuries later during the Twenty - fifth Dynasty , when the Kushite pharaoh Shabaka ( 721 - 707 BCE ) had large scarabs made commemorating his victories in imitation of those produced for Amenhotep III . Funerary scarabs ( edit ) Two heart scarabs beside Queen Mernua 's coffin . Although scarab amulets were sometimes placed in tombs as part of the deceased 's personal effects or as jewelry , generally they have no particular association with ancient Egyptian funerary rites . There are , however , three types of specifically funerary scarabs , heart scarabs , pectoral scarabs and naturalistic scarabs . Scarab with Separate Wings , ca . 712 - 342 B.C.E. , 49.28 a-c , Brooklyn Museum Heart scarabs became popular in the early New Kingdom and remained in use until the Third Intermediate Period . They are large scarabs ( typically 4 cm - 12 cm long ) often made from dark green or black stone and are not pierced for suspension . The base of a heart scarab was usually carved , either directly or on a gold plate fixed to the base , with hieroglyphs which name the deceased and repeat some or all of spell 30B from the Egyptian Book of the Dead . The spell commands the deceased 's heart ( typically left in the mummy 's chest cavity , unlike the other viscera ) not to give evidence against the deceased , when the deceased is being judged by the gods of the underworld . It is often suggested that the heart is being commanded not to give false evidence but the opposite may be true . The Book of the Dead requires the heart scarab to be made of green nemehef stone but a variety of green or dark coloured stones were used . Heart scarabs were often hung around the mummy 's neck with a gold wire and the scarab itself was held in a gold frame . From the Twenty - fifth Dynasty onwards large ( typically 3 cm - 8 cm long ) relatively flat uninscribed pectoral scarabs were sewn , via holes formed at the edge of the scarab , onto the chests of mummies , together with a pair of separately made outstretched wings . These were mainly made from faience and glazed blue . The association of pectoral scarabs appears to be with the god Khepri , who is often depicted in the same form . A third kind of funerary scarab is the naturalistic scarab . These were relatively small scarabs ( typically 2 cm to 3 cm long ) made from a wide variety of hardstones and faience and are distinguished from other scarabs by having naturalistic carved `` 3D '' bases , which often also include an integral suspension loop running widthways . Groups of these funerary scarabs , often made from different materials , formed part of the battery of amulets which protected mummies in the Late Period . When a person died and went to their final judgment , the gods of the underworld would ask many detailed and intricate questions which had to be answered precisely and ritually , according to `` The Egyptian Book of the Dead . '' Since many people of those days were illiterate , even placing a copy of this scroll in their coffin would not be enough to protect them from being sent to Hell for giving a wrong answer . As a result , the priests would read the questions and their appropriate answers to the beetle , which would then be killed , mummified , and placed in the ear of the deceased . When the gods then asked their questions , the ghostly scarab would whisper the correct answer into the ear of the supplicant , who could then answer the gods wisely and correctly . Scarabs with royal names ( edit ) Two sides of a scarab inscribed with the name of Senwosret II Scarabs are often found inscribed with the names of pharaohs and more rarely with the names of their queens and other members of the royal family . Generally , the better established and longer reigning a king was , the more scarabs are found bearing one or more of his names . Most scarabs bearing a royal name can reasonably be dated to the period in which the person named lived . However , there are a number of important exceptions . Scarabs are found bearing the names of pharaohs of the Old Kingdom ( particularly of well - known kings such as Khufu , Khafra and Unas ) . It is now believed these were produced in later periods , most probably during the Twenty - fifth Dynasty or Twenty - sixth Dynasty , when there was considerable interest in and imitation of the works of great kings of the past . Scarabs are also found in vast numbers which appear to bear the throne name of the New Kingdom king Thuthmosis III ( 1504 - 1450 BCE ) Men Kheper Re ( `` the appearance of Ra is established '' ) . Many of these scarabs do date from the long and successful reign of this great warrior pharaoh , or shortly thereafter but many , perhaps the majority , probably do not . Like all pharaohs , Thuthmosis was regarded as a god after his death . Unlike most pharaohs his cult , centered on his mortuary temple , seems to have continued for years , if not centuries . As a result , many scarabs bearing the inscription Men Kheper Re are likely to commemorate Thuthmosis III but may have been produced hundreds of years later . Later pharaohs adopted the same throne name ( including Piye of the Twenty - fifth Dynasty , 747 - 716 BCE ) and this can lead to confusion . The hieroglyphs making Men Kheper Re seem to have become regarded as a protective charm in themselves and were inscribed on scarabs without any specific reference to Thuthmosis III . It can be doubted that in many cases the carver understood the meaning of the inscription but reproduced it blindly . On a lesser scale the same may be true of the throne name of Rameses II ( 1279 - 1212 BCE ) User Maat Re ( `` the justice of Ra is powerful '' ) , which is commonly found on scarabs which otherwise do not appear to date from his reign . The birth names of pharaohs were also popular names among private individuals and so , for example , a scarab simply bearing the name `` Amenhotep '' need not be associated with any particular king who also bore that name . The significance of a scarab bearing a royal name is unclear and probably changed over time and from scarab to scarab . Many may simply have been made privately in honour of a ruler during or after his lifetime . Some may also have been royal gifts . In some cases scarabs with royal names may have been official seals or badges of office , perhaps connected with the royal estates or household , others , although relatively few , may have been personal seals owned by the royal individual named on them . As the king fulfilled many different roles in ancient Egyptian society , so scarabs naming a pharaoh may have had a direct or indirect connection with a wide range of private and public activities . Literary and popular culture reference ( edit ) P.G. Wodehouse 's first Blandings novel -- Something Fresh ( 1915 ) -- involves the pilfering of a rare Egyptian scarab ( a `` Cheops of the Fourth Dynasty '' ) as a key plot device . In the British crime novelist Dorothy L. Sayers ` novel Murder Must Advertise a scarab , catapulted , is the murder weapon . The rock band Journey uses various types of scarabs as their main logo and in the cover art of the albums Departure , Captured , Escape , Greatest Hits , Arrival , Generations , Revelation , and The Essential Journey The Egyptian death metal band Scarab takes their name from these artifacts . The famous Dutch print - maker , M.C. Escher ( 1898 -- 1972 ) created a wood engraving in 1935 depicting two scarabs or dung beetles . In Stephen Sommers ' The Mummy ( 1999 ) , the scarab is used as a deadly , ancient , beetle that eats the internal and external organs , killing whom ever it comes into contact with .

what is the name of the egyptian beetle
[ "For reasons that are not clear (although no doubt connected to the religious significance of the Egyptian god Khepri), amulets in the form of scarab beetles had become enormously popular in Ancient Egypt by the early Middle Kingdom (approx. 2000 BCE) and remained popular for the rest of the pharaonic period and beyond. During that long period the function of scarabs repeatedly changed. Primarily amulets, they were also inscribed for use as personal or administrative seals or were incorporated into jewelry. Some scarabs were apparently created for political or diplomatic purposes to commemorate or advertise royal achievements. By the early New Kingdom, heart scarabs had become part of the battery of amulets protecting mummies." ]

Plate smashing
Plate smashing - wikipedia Plate smashing Jump to : navigation , search Plate smashing is a Greek custom involving the smashing of plates or glasses during celebratory occasions . In popular culture , the practice is most typical of foreigners ' stereotypical image of Greece , and while it occurs more rarely today , it continues to be seen on certain occasions , such as weddings , although plaster plates are more likely to be used . Contents ( hide ) 1 History in Greece 1.1 Ancient and medieval 1.2 Modern times 2 In popular culture 3 See also 4 External links History in Greece ( edit ) Ancient and medieval ( edit ) The custom probably derives from an ancient practice of ritually `` killing '' plates on mourning occasions , as a means of dealing with loss . Breaking plates may also be related to the ancient practise of conspicuous consumption , a display of one 's wealth , as plates or glasses are thrown into a fireplace following a banquet instead of being washed and reused . Modern times ( edit ) In 1969 , the military dictatorship of Georgios Papadopoulos , that had suspended democracy and ruled Greece autocratically from 1967 to 1974 , banned plate smashing to the great disappointment of Greeks and foreign tourists alike . While it is no longer officially allowed at Greek nightclubs , it still happens occasionally . For private celebrations such as weddings , modern Greeks may purchase specially - produced plaster plates , which are less expensive and dangerous , while being more easily broken . Another modern variation on the custom is for diners at small Greek restaurants or tavernas to buy trays of flowers that they can throw at singers and each other . In popular culture ( edit ) In the Three 's Company episode `` Opening Night , '' ( November 16 , 1982 ) Larry Dallas invites his family , visiting from Greece , to Jacks Bistro .

Jack then looks at Janet who shows him the final cost of all the plates that were broken . Jack , while clenching the remaining two plates he owns , throws them up in the air and says `` Opa ! '' and lets them break as well . In Part I of The Love Boat S6 E18 episode ( February 5 , 1983 ) titled : `` Isaac 's Aegean Affair / The Captain and the Kid / Poor Rich Man / The Dean and the Flunkee , '' Gopher initiates plate smashing in a Greek restaurant .

The French cinema comprises the art of film and creative movies made within the nation of France or by French filmmakers abroad . France is the birthplace of cinema and was responsible for many of its significant contributions to the art form and the film - making process itself . Several important cinematic movements , including the Nouvelle Vague , began in the country . It is noted for having a particularly strong film industry , due in part to protections afforded by the French government . Apart from its strong and innovative film tradition , France has also been a gathering spot for artists from across Europe and the world . For this reason , French cinema is sometimes intertwined with the cinema of foreign nations . Directors from nations such as Poland ( Roman Polanski , Krzysztof Kieślowski , and Andrzej Żuławski ) , Argentina ( Gaspar Noé and Edgardo Cozarinsky ) , Russia ( Alexandre Alexeieff , Anatole Litvak ) , Austria ( Michael Haneke ) , and Georgia ( Géla Babluani , Otar Iosseliani ) are prominent in the ranks of French cinema . Conversely , French directors have had prolific and influential careers in other countries , such as Luc Besson , Jacques Tourneur , or Francis Veber in the United States . Another element supporting this fact is that Paris has the highest density of cinemas in the world , measured by the number of movie theaters per inhabitant , and that in most `` downtown Paris '' movie theaters , foreign movies which would be secluded to `` art houses '' cinemas in other places are shown alongside `` mainstream '' works . Philippe Binant realized , on 2 February 2000 , the first digital cinema projection in Europe , with the DLP CINEMA technology developed by Texas Instruments , in Paris . With 205.34 million tickets sold in 2015 and 212.71 million in 2016 , France is the third biggest film market in the world both in terms of admissions ( after the United States and India ) and revenues ( after the United States and Japan ) . It is the most successful film industry in Europe in terms of number of films produced per annum , with a record - breaking 300 feature - length films produced in 2015 . France is also one of the few countries where non-American productions have the biggest share : American films only represented 44.9 % of total admissions in 2014 . This is largely due to the commercial strength of domestic productions , which accounted for 44 , 5 % of admissions in 2014 ( 35.5 % in 2015 ; 35.3 % in 2016 ) . Also , the French film industry is closer to being entirely self - sufficient than any other country in Europe , recovering around 80 -- 90 % of costs from revenues generated in the domestic market alone . In 2013 , France was the 2nd largest exporter of films in the world after the United States . A study in April 2014 showed the positive image which French cinema maintains around the world , being the most appreciated cinema after American cinema .

The French film industry in the late 19th century and early 20th century was among the world 's most important . Auguste and Louis Lumière invented the cinématographe and their L'Arrivée d'un train en gare de La Ciotat in Paris in 1895 is considered by many historians as the official birth of cinematography . The early days of the industry , from 1896 to 1902 , saw the dominance of four firms : Pathé Frères , the Gaumont Film Company , the Georges Méliès company , and the Lumières . Méliès invented many of the techniques of cinematic grammar , and among his fantastic , surreal short subjects is the first science fiction film A Trip to the Moon ( Le Voyage dans la Lune ) in 1902 ) . In 1902 the Lumières abandoned everything but the production of film stock , leaving Méliès as the weakest player of the remaining three . ( He would retire in 1914 . ) From 1904 to 1911 the Pathé Frères company led the world in film production and distribution . At Gaumont , pioneer Alice Guy - Blaché ( M. Gaumont 's former secretary ) was made head of production and oversaw about 400 films , from her first , La Fée aux Choux , in 1896 , through 1906 . She then continued her career in the United States , as did Maurice Tourneur and Léonce Perret after World War I . In 1907 Gaumont owned and operated the biggest movie studio in the world , and along with the boom in construction of `` luxury cinemas '' like the Gaumont - Palace and the Pathé - Palace ( both 1911 ) , cinema became an economic challenger to legitimate theater by 1914 . After world War I ( edit ) After World War I , the French film industry suffered because of a lack of capital , and film production decreased as it did in most other European countries . This allowed the United States film industry to enter the European cinema market , because American films could be sold more cheaply than European productions , since the studios already had recouped their costs in the home market . When film studios in Europe began to fail , many European countries began to set import barriers . France installed an import quota of 1 : 7 , meaning for every seven foreign films imported to France , one French film was to be produced and shown in French cinemas . During the period between World War I and World War II , Jacques Feyder and Jean Vigo became two of the founders of poetic realism in French cinema . They also dominated French Impressionist Cinema , along with Abel Gance , Germaine Dulac and Jean Epstein . In 1931 , Marcel Pagnol filmed the first of his great trilogy Marius , Fanny , and César . He followed this with other films including The Baker 's Wife . Other notable films of the 1930s included René Clair 's Under the Roofs of Paris ( 1930 ) , Jean Vigo 's L'Atalante ( 1934 ) , Jacques Feyder 's Carnival in Flanders ( 1935 ) , and Julien Duvivier 's La belle equipe ( 1936 ) . In 1935 , renowned playwright and actor Sacha Guitry directed his first film and went on to make more than 30 films that were precursors to the New Wave era . In 1937 , Jean Renoir , the son of painter Pierre - Auguste Renoir , directed La Grande Illusion ( The Grand Illusion ) . In 1939 , Renoir directed La Règle du Jeu ( The Rules of the Game ) . Several critics have cited this film as one of the greatest of all - time , particularly for its innovative camerawork , cinematography and sound editing . Marcel Carné 's Les Enfants du Paradis ( Children of Paradise ) was filmed during World War II and released in 1945 . The three - hour film was extremely difficult to make due to the Nazi occupation . Set in Paris in 1828 , it was voted Best French Film of the Century in a poll of 600 French critics and professionals in the late 1990s . Post -- world War II ( edit ) 1940s -- 1970s ( edit ) Alain Delon was known as much for his beauty as for his acting career and holds an enduring status as a leading man in French cinema . In the magazine Cahiers du cinéma founded by André Bazin , critics and lovers of film would discuss film and why it worked . Modern film theory was born there . Additionally , Cahiers critics such as Jean - Luc Godard , François Truffaut , Claude Chabrol , Jacques Rivette and Éric Rohmer went on to make films themselves , creating what was to become known as the French New Wave . Some of the first films of this new genre were Godard 's Breathless ( À bout de souffle , 1960 ) , starring Jean - Paul Belmondo , Rivette 's Paris Belongs to Us ( Paris nous appartient , 1958 -- distributed in 1961 ) , starring Jean - Claude Brialy and Truffaut 's The 400 Blows ( Les Quatre Cent Coups , 1959 ) starring Jean - Pierre Léaud . From 1959 until 1979 , Truffaut followed Léaud 's character Antoine Doinel , who falls in love with Christine Darbon ( Claude Jade from Hitchcock 's Topaz ) in Stolen Kisses , marries her in Bed & Board and separates from her in the last post-New Wave movie Love on the Run . Many contemporaries of Godard and Truffaut followed suit , or achieved international critical acclaim with styles of their own , such as the minimalist films of Robert Bresson and Jean - Pierre Melville , the Hitchcockian - like thrillers of Henri - Georges Clouzot , and other New Wave films by Agnès Varda and Alain Resnais . The movement , while an inspiration to other national cinemas and unmistakably a direct influence on the future New Hollywood directors , slowly faded by the end of the 1960s . Brigitte Bardot was one of the most famous French actresses in the 1960s . The French actress Leslie Caron with Maurice Chevalier on the set of Gigi ( 1958 ) . During this period , French commercial film also made a name for itself . Immensely popular French comedies with Louis de Funès topped the French box office . The war comedy La Grande Vadrouille ( 1966 ) , from Gérard Oury with Bourvil and Terry - Thomas , was the most successful film in French theaters for more than 30 years . Another example was La Folie des grandeurs with Yves Montand . French cinema also was the birthplace for many subgenres of the crime film , most notably the modern caper film , starting with 1955 's Rififi by American - born director Jules Dassin and followed by a large number of serious , noirish heist dramas as well as playful caper comedies throughout the sixties , and the `` polar , '' a typical French blend of film noir and detective fiction . In addition , French movie stars began to claim fame abroad as well as at home . Popular actors of the period included Brigitte Bardot , Alain Delon , Romy Schneider , Catherine Deneuve , Jeanne Moreau , Simone Signoret , Yves Montand , Jean - Paul Belmondo and Jean Gabin . Since the Sixties and Seventies they are completed and followed by Michel Piccoli , Philippe Noiret , Annie Girardot , Jean - Louis Trintignant , Jean - Pierre Léaud , Claude Jade , Isabelle Huppert , Anny Duperey , Gérard Depardieu , Patrick Dewaere , Jean - Pierre Cassel , Miou - Miou , Brigitte Fossey , Stéphane Audran and Isabelle Adjani . The 1979 film La Cage aux Folles ran for well over a year at the Paris Theatre , an arthouse cinema in New York City , and was a commercial success at theaters throughout the country , in both urban and rural areas . It won the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film , and for years it remained the most successful foreign film to be released in the United States . 1980s ( edit ) Jean - Jacques Beineix 's Diva ( 1981 ) sparked the beginning of the 1980s wave of French cinema . Movies which followed in its wake included Betty Blue ( 37 ° 2 le matin , 1986 ) by Beineix , The Big Blue ( Le Grand bleu , 1988 ) by Luc Besson , and The Lovers on the Bridge ( Les Amants du Pont - Neuf , 1991 ) by Léos Carax . These films , made with a slick commercial style and emphasizing the alienation of its main characters , was known as Cinema du look . Camille Claudel , directed by newcomer Bruno Nuytten and starring Isabelle Adjani and Gérard Depardieu , was a major commercial success in 1988 , earning Adjani , who was also the film 's co-producer , a César Award for best actress . The historical drama film Jean de Florette ( 1986 ) and its sequel Manon des Sources ( 1986 ) were among the highest grossing French films in history and brought Daniel Auteuil international recognition . According to Raphaël Bassan , in his article `` The Angel : Un météore dans le ciel de l'animation , '' La Revue du cinéma , n ° 393 , avril 1984 . ( in French ) , Patrick Bokanowski 's The Angel , shown in 1982 at the Cannes Film Festival , can be considered the beginnings of contemporary animation . The masks erase all human personality in the characters . Patrick Bokanowski would thus have total control over the `` matter '' of the image and its optical composition . This is especially noticeable throughout the film , with images taken through distorted objectives or a plastic work on the sets and costumes , for example in the scene of the designer . Patrick Bokanowski creates his own universe and obeys his own aesthetic logic . It takes us through a series of distorted areas , obscure visions , metamorphoses and synthetic objects . Indeed , in the film , the human may be viewed as a fetish object ( for example , the doll hanging by a thread ) , with reference to Kafkaesque and Freudian theories on automata and the fear of man faced with something as complex as him . The ascent of the stairs would be the liberation of the ideas of death , culture , and sex that makes us reach the emblematic figure of the angel . 1990s ( edit ) The Palme d'Or ( `` Golden Palm '' ) , the most prestigious award given out at Cannes Film Festival . Jean - Paul Rappeneau 's Cyrano de Bergerac was a major box - office success in 1990 , earning several César Awards , including best actor for Gérard Depardieu , as well as an Academy Award nomination for best foreign picture . Luc Besson made Nikita in 1990 , a movie that inspired remakes in both United States and in Hong Kong . In 1994 , he also made Léon and in 1997 The Fifth Element , which both became a cult favorite and launched the careers of Natalie Portman and Milla Jovovich . Jean - Pierre Jeunet made Delicatessen and The City of Lost Children ( La Cité des enfants perdus ) , both of which featured a distinctly fantastical style . In 1992 , Claude Sautet co-wrote ( with Jacques Fieschi ) and directed Un Coeur en Hiver , considered by many to be a masterpiece . Mathieu Kassovitz 's 1995 film Hate ( La Haine ) received critical praise and made Vincent Cassel a star , and in 1997 , Juliette Binoche won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in The English Patient . The success of Michel Ocelot 's Kirikou and the Sorceress in 1998 rejuvenated the production of original feature - length animated films by such filmmakers as Jean - François Laguionie and Sylvain Chomet . 2000s ( edit ) In 2001 , after a brief stint in Hollywood , Jean - Pierre Jeunet returned to France with Amélie ( Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain ) starring Audrey Tautou . It became the highest - grossing French - language film ever released in the United States . The following year , Brotherhood of the Wolf became the second - highest - grossing French - language film in the United States since 1980 and went on to gross more than $70 million worldwide . Marion Cotillard ( left ) and Jean Dujardin ( right ) , both awarded with an Academy Award in United States , for their respective roles in La Vie en Rose ( 2007 ) and The Artist ( 2011 ) . In 2008 , Marion Cotillard won the Academy Award for Best Actress and the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role for her portrayal of legendary French singer Édith Piaf in La Vie en Rose , the first French - language performance to be so honored . The film won two Oscars and four BAFTAs and became the third - highest - grossing French - language film in the United States since 1980 . Cotillard was the first female and second person to win both an Academy Award and César Award for the same performance . At the 2008 Cannes Film Festival , Entre les murs ( The Class ) won the Palme d'Or , the 6th French victory at the festival . The 2000s also saw an increase in the number of individual competitive awards won by French artists at the Cannes Festival , for direction ( Tony Gatlif , Exils , 2004 ) , screenplay ( Agnès Jaoui and Jean - Pierre Bacri , Look at Me , 2004 ) , female acting ( Isabelle Huppert , The Piano Teacher , 2001 ; Charlotte Gainsbourg , Antichrist , 2009 ) and male acting ( Jamel Debbouze , Samy Naceri , Roschdy Zem , Sami Bouajila and Bernard Blancan , Days of Glory , 2006 ) . The 2008 rural comedy Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis drew an audience of more than 20 million , the first French film to do so . Its $193 million gross in France puts it just behind Titanic as the most successful film of all time in French theaters . In the 2000s , several French directors made international productions , often in the action genre . These include Gérard Pirès ( Riders , 2002 ) , Pitof ( Catwoman , 2004 ) , Jean - François Richet ( Assault on Precinct 13 , 2005 ) , Florent Emilio Siri ( Hostage , 2005 ) , Christophe Gans ( Silent Hill , 2006 ) , Mathieu Kassovitz ( Babylon A.D. , 2008 ) , Louis Leterrier ( The Transporter , 2002 ; Transporter 2 , 2005 ; Olivier Megaton directed Transporter 3 , 2008 ) , Alexandre Aja ( Mirrors , 2008 ) , and Pierre Morel ( Taken , 2009 ) . Surveying the entire range of French filmmaking today , Tim Palmer calls contemporary cinema in France a kind of eco-system , in which commercial cinema co-exists with artistic radicalism , first - time directors ( who make up about 40 % of all France 's directors each year ) mingle with veterans , and there even occasionally emerges a fascinating pop - art hybridity , in which the features of intellectual and mass cinemas are interrelated ( as in filmmakers like Valeria Bruni - Tedeschi , Olivier Assayas , Maïwenn , Sophie Fillières , Serge Bozon , and others ) . 2010s ( edit ) Léa Seydoux at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival . One of the most noticed and best reviewed films of 2010 was the drama Of Gods and Men ( Des hommes et des dieux ) , about the assassination of seven monks in Tibhirine , Algeria. 2011 saw the release of The Artist , a silent film shot in black and white by Michel Hazanavicius that reflected on the end of Hollywood 's silent era . French cinema continued its upward trend of earning awards at the Cannes Festival , including the prestigious Grand Prix for Of Gods and Men ( 2010 ) and the Jury Prize for Poliss ( 2011 ) ; the Best Director Award for Mathieu Amalric ( On Tour , 2010 ) ; the Best Actress Award for Juliette Binoche ( Certified Copy , 2010 ) ; and the Best Actor Award for Jean Dujardin ( The Artist , 2011 ) . In 2011 , the film Intouchables became the most watched film in France ( including the foreign films ) . After ten weeks nearly 17.5 million people had seen the film in France , Intouchables was the second most - seen French movie of all - time in France , and the third including foreign movies . In 2012 , with 226 million admissions ( 1,900 million USD ) in the world for French films ( 582 films released in 84 countries ) , including 82 million admissions in France ( 700 million USD ) , 2012 was the fourth best year since 1985 . With 144 million admissions outside France ( 1,200 million USD ) , 2012 was the best year since at least 1994 ( since Unifrance collects data ) , and the French cinema reached a market share of 2.95 % of worldwide admissions and of 4.86 % of worldwide sales . Three films particularly contributed to this record year : Taken 2 , The Intouchables and The Artist . In 2012 , films shot in French ranked 4th in admissions ( 145 million ) behind films shot in English ( more than a billion admissions in the US alone ) , Hindi ( ? : no accurate data but estimated at 3 billion for the whole India / Indian languages ) and Chinese ( 275 million in China plus a few million abroad ) , but above films shot in Korean ( 115 million admissions in South Korea plus a few millions abroad ) and Japanese ( 102 million admissions in Japan plus a few million abroad , a record since 1973 et its 104 million admissions ) . French - language movies ranked 2nd in export ( outside of French - speaking countries ) after films in English . 2012 was also the year French animation studio Mac Guff was acquired by an American studio , Universal Pictures , through its Illumination Entertainment subsidiary . Illumination Mac Guff became the animation studio for some of the top English - language animated movies of the 2010s , including The Lorax and the Despicable Me franchise . In 2015 French cinema sold 106 million tickets and grossed € 600 million outside of the country . The highest - grossing film was Taken 3 ( € 261.7 million ) and the largest territory in admissions was China ( 14.7 million ) . Government support ( edit ) As the advent of television threatened the success of cinema , countries were faced with the problem of reviving movie - going . The French cinema market , and more generally the French - speaking market , is smaller than the English - speaking market ; one reason being that some major markets , including prominently the United States , are reluctant to generally accept foreign films , especially foreign - language and subtitled productions . As a consequence , French movies have to be amortized on a relatively small market and thus generally have budgets far lower than their American counterparts , ruling out expensive settings and special effects . The French government has implemented various measures aimed at supporting local film production and movie theaters . The Canal+ TV channel has a broadcast license requiring it to support the production of movies . Some taxes are levied on movies and TV channels for use as subsidies for movie production . Some tax breaks are given for investment in movie productions , as is common elsewhere including in the United States . The sale of DVDs is prohibited for four months after the showing in theaters , so as to ensure some revenue for movie theaters . Recently , Messerlin and Parc ( 2014 , 2017 ) described the effect of subsidies in the French film industry . Co-production ( edit ) The French national and regional governments involve themselves in film production . For example , the award - winning documentary In the Land of the Deaf ( Le Pays des sourds ) was created by Nicolas Philibert in 1992 . The film was co-produced by multinational partners , which reduced the financial risks inherent in the project ; and co-production also ensured enhanced distribution opportunities . Les Films d'Ici .

The Mother (How I Met Your Mother)
The Mother ( How I Met Your Mother ) - wikipedia The Mother ( How I Met Your Mother ) Jump to : navigation , search Tracy McConnell How I Met Your Mother character The Mother appearing in `` The Locket '' First appearance `` Lucky Penny ( unseen ) '' `` Something New '' ( seen ) Last appearance `` Last Forever '' Created by Carter Bays Craig Thomas Portrayed by Cristin Milioti Information Aliases The Mother Gender Female Spouse ( s ) Ted Mosby Significant other ( s ) Max ( deceased former boyfriend ) Louis ( ex-boyfriend ) Children Penny Mosby ( daughter , born in 2015 , played by Lyndsy Fonseca ) Luke Mosby ( son , born in 2017 , played by David Henrie ) Nationality American Tracy McConnell ( colloquial : `` The Mother '' ) is the title character from the CBS television sitcom How I Met Your Mother . The show , narrated by Future Ted , tells the story of how Ted Mosby met The Mother . Tracy McConnell appears in 8 episodes from `` Lucky Penny '' to `` The Time Travelers '' as an unseen character ; she was first seen fully in `` Something New '' and was promoted to a main character in season 9 . The Mother is played by Cristin Milioti . The story of how Ted met The Mother is the framing device behind the series ; many facts about her are revealed throughout the series , including the fact that Ted once unwittingly owned her umbrella before accidentally leaving it behind in her apartment . Ted and The Mother meet at the Farhampton train station following Barney Stinson and Robin Scherbatsky 's wedding ; this scene is shown in `` Last Forever '' , the series finale . The Mother 's death from an unspecified terminal illness in 2024 , also revealed in the series finale , received a mixed reaction from fans . An alternate ending was released in the ninth season DVD . In the alternate ending , Tracy Mosby is still living when Ted is telling the story in 2030 . In the video , future Ted is heard saying , `` ... When I think how lucky I am to wake up next to your mom every morning , I ca n't help but be amazed how easy it all really was ... '' , indirectly stating that The Mother is alive . The video ends right after the train passes at Farhampton station and credits start rolling , implying that Ted never went back to Robin as he lived a successful married life with Tracy Mosby . Contents ( hide ) 1 Casting 2 Character history 2.1 Name 3 Death 4 Notes 5 References Casting ( edit ) During its first eight seasons , the successful sitcom How I Met Your Mother often hinted at the unseen character of The Mother . Well - known actresses often made guest appearances on the show . Many fans expected that another would play one of the most - wanted roles in Hollywood , but creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas wanted an unknown . Using Anne Hathaway and Amy Adams as examples , Thomas said that `` We did n't want it to be a big famous star because we did n't want the wider audience to have associations with whatever actress this would be ... The whole idea is that Ted 's never seen this woman before , so it better feel that way to the audience '' , similar to how Cobie Smulders being cast as Robin Scherbatsky had `` kept the show alive '' when it began . Bays and Thomas also did not want a large casting call . They chose Cristin Milioti after seeing her on 30 Rock and Once ; her musical ability was also helpful , as The Mother had been described as a band member . After competing for the role against at least two others , Milioti filmed her first scene -- for the last episode of season 8 -- having never watched How I Met Your Mother ; she recalled , `` I had ignorance on my side . So I did n't know what it meant . '' Milioti learned of the character 's importance only after binge watching the show during the summer . Character history ( edit ) The Mother was born on September 19 , 1984 . The Mother , joined by her roommate Kelly awaits the arrival of her boyfriend Max only to receive a call informing her of his death . After the funeral service , she returns to the apartment to open Max 's last gift to her -- a ukulele . The Mother spends the next few years grieving the passing of the man she believes was her one true love . In `` Wait for It '' , it is revealed that the short story of how they met involved her yellow umbrella . In `` No Tomorrow '' , Ted finds the umbrella at a club and takes it home after attending a St. Patrick 's Day party which she also attended , as it had been two and a half years since the death of Max , her late boyfriend . She is still grieving , but her roommate Kelly encourages her to go out and date again , bringing her to the same bar where Ted and Barney are celebrating . The two women run into Mitch , her old orchestra instructor ; The Mother offers to give Mitch her cello for his work at a school and they head to her apartment . After they start talking , Mitch encourages her to pursue her dreams . The Mother expresses her desire to end poverty by taking up economics in college . On his first day of teaching as Professor Mosby , as seen in the season 4 finale `` The Leap '' , he is seen in front of the classroom of students , one of which Future Ted says is the titular mother . But in the first episode of season 5 , `` Definitions '' , it is revealed that he was actually in the wrong classroom -- Economics instead of Architecture . At the same time in `` How Your Mother Met Me '' , the Mother sits her first session in Economics 305 and meets another graduate student named Cindy ( Rachel Bilson ) , whom she offers to move in with her as her roommate . They see Ted enter the room , but when he announces the subject , The Mother thinks she is in the wrong room and runs off . She heads back to the room after seeing Ted scramble to his actual classroom . Later , in `` Girls Versus Suits '' , Ted dates Cindy , not knowing that her roommate is his future wife . Throughout the episode , Ted notes that Cindy had spent most of their first date talking jealously about her roommate . When in Cindy and the mother 's apartment he picks up many of The Mother 's belongings , attempting to show how compatible he and Cindy are ( thinking the items are Cindy 's ) and glimpses the mother 's foot as she disappears into her room after taking a shower . Ted finds out at this time that she plays bass guitar in a band . Ted forgets to take the yellow umbrella with him when he goes out and Future Ted mentions , `` this is how your mother got her yellow umbrella back . '' In `` How Your Mother Met Me '' , it is revealed that , after Ted left the apartment , the Mother had discovered the umbrella and , upon going to question Cindy , finds her in a state . As she tried to console her , Cindy said that she was a much better match for Ted , and began to lovingly list all of the reasons that Ted would find the mother attractive , before spontaneously kissing her , revealing that her jealousy towards her roommate was actually a crush . While this incident made Cindy realise that she is a lesbian , it also made the Mother decide to go back into dating , as the kiss was her first in a long time . Some time after this , a man named Darren approaches The Mother and is welcomed into her band named Superfreakonomics . Darren gradually takes over the band . In the season 6 opener `` Big Days '' it is revealed Ted meets his future wife `` the day of '' the wedding at which he is the best man . In the episode `` False Positive '' Robin asks Ted to be her future best man , should she ever get married . In the episode `` Challenge Accepted '' , it is revealed that Ted meets the mother of his children the day of Barney 's wedding . In the last episode of season 7 , `` The Magician 's Code '' it is shown that Barney will marry Robin , and Ted will meet the mother `` the day of '' their wedding . On the premiere of season 8 , Ted 's wife appears after Barney and Robin 's wedding , outside at the `` Farhampton '' station while holding a yellow umbrella and her bass guitar . In the season 8 episode `` Band or DJ ? , '' Ted runs into Cindy on the subway and tells her that the band Barney and Robin hired to play at their wedding cancelled at the last minute . The end result of the encounter is that Cindy 's ( now ex - ) roommate 's band plays at Barney and Robin 's wedding . The Mother is first shown meeting Louis in `` How Your Mother Met Me '' as she is left to carry the band equipment while the now - lead band member Darren talks to his fans . Later at MacLaren 's Pub , she tells him she 's not yet ready to date . Louis asks her to give him a call if she changes her mind and they begin dating not long after . The Mother meets all of Ted 's best friends ( Barney , Lily , Marshall and Robin ) before she meets him . The Mother is responsible for convincing Barney to pursue Robin , as revealed through a flashback in `` Platonish '' . In `` The Locket '' , Tracy meets Lily on a train journey . In `` Bass Player Wanted '' , the Mother picks up a hitchhiking Marshall , carrying his son Marvin , on her way to Farhampton Inn . On their way , it is revealed that the Mother is a bass player in the band , that is scheduled to play at the wedding reception . But the band 's leader , Darren , forced her to quit . The Mother ultimately decides to confront Darren and retake the band . She ends up alone at the bar , and while practicing a speech to give Darren , Darren walks up to her furious the groom 's best man punched him for `` no reason . '' Amused by this , the Mother laughs , and Darren quits the band in anger . In `` How Your Mother Met Me '' , it is shown that after this incident , the Mother returns to Louis ' summer cottage not far from the Farhampton Inn where she has been staying for the duration of the wedding weekend . As she walks in the door , Louis proposes to her , but she goes outside to think about it for a few minutes . She declines Louis ' proposal and leaves his cottage , going to check in at Farhampton Inn . On her room 's balcony , she plays the ukulele and sings `` La Vie en Rose '' . Ted hears her singing from his room next door . In `` Gary Blauman '' , Ted and the Mother are on their first date . Ted picks her up at her New York City apartment and they proceed to walk to a Scottish - Mexican fusion restaurant for dinner . On the way there , Ted is telling her a story when they nearly have a run - in with Louis . She says that she is in the `` weirdest place on earth '' right now and that it is too soon for her to be dating . Ted walks her back to her apartment . They say goodnight and Ted begins to walk away . The Mother then stops him and asks him to finish the story he was telling her . When the story is over , they say goodnight again . The Mother takes a step towards Ted and they kiss for the first time , before deciding to carry on their date . In a flashforward in `` The Lighthouse '' , Ted proposes to the Mother at the top of the lighthouse near Farhampton Inn . She immediately accepts . In another flashfoward in `` Unpause '' , the Mother is revealed to be pregnant with their second child , Luke , in the year 2017 . She goes into labor while she and Ted are staying at Farhampton . Name ( edit ) The Mother 's real name is not revealed until the series finale , `` Last Forever '' . When Ted meets her at the Farhampton train station , she reveals that her name is Tracy McConnell . In the season 1 episode `` Belly Full of Turkey '' , Ted meets a stripper named Tracy and says `` ... that , kids , is the true story of how I met your mother '' . The children react in surprise and appear to believe Ted before he admits he is joking , which led some fans to correctly guess that The Mother 's name is Tracy . Death ( edit ) See also : Last Forever In the series finale , it is revealed that six years prior to Ted telling the story to his children , Tracy died in 2024 from an undisclosed illness . In the finale the characters do not directly state that the mother is dead . Ted says that she `` became sick '' and his children saying that she has been `` gone '' for six years . Many fans expressed considerable disappointment to The Mother 's death . Milioti cried when she learned her character was supposed to die , but came to accept the ending was what the writers had planned from the beginning . Bill Kuchman from Popculturology said that The Mother was `` an amazing character '' and that `` over the course of this final season HIMYM made us care about Tracy . Kuchman said that `` asking fans to drop all of that with a simple line about The Mother getting sick and passing away was a very difficult request '' , that the finale `` advanced too quickly '' and that `` HIMYM was a victim of its own success on this issue '' . A petition was started , aiming to rewrite and reshoot the finale . The petition has over 20,000 signatures and considerable online news coverage . On April 5 , 2014 , Carter Bays announced on Twitter that an alternate ending would be included on the Season 9 DVD . No new material was shot for this scene . In the alternate ending , the mother is still living when Ted is telling the story in 2030 . Notes ( edit ) Jump up ^ The Mother celebrates her 21st birthday on the day that `` Pilot '' is set .

Pork ribs
Pork ribs - wikipedia Pork ribs Balinese roasted pork ribs Pork ribs are a cut of pork popular in Western and Asian cuisines . The ribcage of a domestic pig , meat and bones together , is cut into usable pieces , prepared by smoking , grilling , or baking -- usually with a sauce , often barbecue -- and then served . Contents 1 Cuts of pork ribs 1.1 Baby back ribs 1.2 Spare ribs 1.3 Rib tips 1.4 Riblets 1.5 Other cuts and preparations 2 See also 3 References 4 External links Cuts of pork ribs ( edit ) Several different types of ribs are available , depending on the section of rib cage from which they are cut . Variation in the thickness of the meat and bone , as well as levels of fat in each cut , can alter the flavor and texture of the prepared dish . The inner surface of the rib cage is covered by a layer of connective tissue ( pleura ) that is difficult to cook tender ; it is usually removed before marinating or cooking . Baby back ribs served with fries and cornbread Baby back ribs ( edit ) Smoked baby back pork ribs Baby back ribs ( also back ribs or loin ribs ) are taken from the top of the rib cage between the spine and the spare ribs , below the loin muscle . They have meat between the bones and on top of the bones , and are shorter , curved , and sometimes meatier than spare ribs . The rack is shorter at one end , due to the natural tapering of a pig 's rib cage . The shortest bones are typically only about 3 in ( 7.6 cm ) and the longest is usually about 6 in ( 15 cm ) , depending on the size of the hog . A pig side has 15 to 16 ribs ( depending on the breed ) , but usually two or three are left on the shoulder when it is separated from the loin . So , a rack of back ribs contains a minimum of eight ribs ( some may be trimmed if damaged ) , but can include up to 13 ribs , depending on how it has been prepared by the butcher . A typical commercial rack has 10 -- 13 bones . If fewer than 10 bones are present , butchers call them `` cheater racks '' . Spare ribs ( edit ) Spare ribs cut into riblets with Chinese barbecue sauce Main article : Spare ribs Spare ribs , also called `` spareribs '' or `` side ribs '' , are taken from the belly side of the rib cage , below the section of back ribs and above the sternum ( breast bone ) . Spare ribs are flatter and contain more bone than meat , but more fat that can make the ribs more tender than back ribs . The term `` spare ribs '' is a Middle English corruption ( via `` sparrib '' ) of `` rippspeer '' , a Low German term that referred to racks of meat being roasted on a turning spit . St. Louis style ribs ( or St. Louis cut spare ribs ) have had the sternum bone , cartilage , and rib tips ( see below ) removed . The shape is almost rectangular . Kansas City style ribs are trimmed less closely than the St. Louis style ribs , and have the hard bone removed . Rib tips ( edit ) Rib tips are short , meaty sections of rib attached to the lower end of the spare ribs , between the ribs and the sternum . Unlike back ribs or spare ribs , the structure of the rib is provided by dense costal cartilage , not bone . Rib tips are cut away from the spare ribs when preparing St. Louis style spare ribs . Riblets ( edit ) Barbecue country style pork ribs Smoked country style pork ribs Riblets are prepared by butchers by cutting a full set of spare ribs approximately in half . This produces a set of short , flat ribs where the curved part of the rib is removed and gives them a more uniform look . Loin back ribs do n't always have this removed . When not removed they have a rounded look to them and are often referred to as baby back ribs . Another product ( imprecisely ) called riblets is actually the transverse processes of the lumbar vertebrae . Riblets used to be thrown out by butchers , but have become popular due to their excellent flavor and lower cost . Button ribs ( or feather bones ) are often confused with riblets mostly because Applebee 's sells these as `` riblets '' . In fact , what Applebee 's sells is found just past the ribs near the back bone , just underneath the tenderloin . This cut of meat actually has no bones , but instead has `` buttons '' of cartilaginous material with meat attached . Rib tips ( or brisket ) are found at the bottom of the spare ribs by the sternum . The rib tips have a high proportion of cartilage . The rib tips give the spare ribs a rounded appearance . In an attempt to give the meat a more uniform appearance and make it easier to eat , this piece is sometimes removed , and the remaining spare ribs are referred to as Saint Louis style ribs . Other cuts and preparations ( edit ) Crown rib roast of pork with apples Button ribs are flat , circular - shaped bones located at the sirloin end of the loin . They are not actually ribs , as they are not taken from the rib cage . The button ribs consist of the last four to six bones on the backbone ; they do not have actual ribs connected to them . The meat on the button ribs consists of meat that covers each button and connects them together . Country - style ribs are cut from the blade end of the loin close to the pork shoulder . They are meatier than other rib cuts . They contain no rib bones , but instead contain parts of the shoulder blade ( scapula ) . Rib roast ( or bone - in pork loin rib roast , bone - in loin rib roast , center cut rib roast , prime rib of pork , standing rib roast ) is a whole pork loin with the back ribs attached . They can be up to 2 ft long and 6 in thick . They are sold whole or in sections . Rib chops are pork steaks or chops that include a back rib bone and the loin meat attached . They are lean and tender . Rib patties -- The meat from the ribs is taken off the bone and ground to make rib patties . McDonald 's McRib patties contain pork meat mostly from non-rib sections of the hog . Christmas ribs -- About half of Norwegian families eat oven - cooked rib at Christmas Eve . Normally , they are referred to as ribbe or juleribbe . Traditional recipes include steaming half an hour before cooking in the oven to achieve a crisp surface .

Common-law marriage in the United States
Common - law marriage in the United states - wikipedia Common - law marriage in the United states Jump to : navigation , search Main article : Common - law marriage Common - law marriage , also known as sui juris marriage , informal marriage , marriage by habit and repute , or marriage in fact is a legal framework in a limited number of jurisdictions where a couple is legally considered married , without that couple having formally registered their relation as a civil or religious marriage . The original concept of a `` common - law marriage '' is a marriage that is considered valid by both partners , but has not been formally recorded with a state or religious registry , or celebrated in a formal religious service . In effect , the act of the couple representing themselves to others as being married , and organizing their relation as if they were married , acts as the evidence that they are married . The term common - law marriage has wide informal use , often to denote relations which are not legally recognized as common - law marriages . The term common - law marriage is often used colloquially or by the media to refer to cohabiting couples , regardless of any legal rights that these couples may or may not have , which can create public confusion both in regard to the term and in regard to the legal rights of unmarried partners . Contents ( hide ) 1 General principles 2 Income tax purposes and other federal provisions 3 State law issues 4 Divorce in common - law marriage 5 Validity of a common - law marriage 6 Legislation in states that recognize common - law marriage 6.1 Colorado 6.2 District of Columbia 6.3 Iowa 6.4 Kansas 6.5 Montana 6.6 New Hampshire 6.7 Oklahoma 6.8 Rhode Island 6.9 South Carolina 6.10 Texas 6.11 Utah 7 Legislation in states that do not recognize common - law marriage 7.1 Alabama 7.2 California 7.3 Nevada 7.4 Pennsylvania 8 Notes and references General principles ( edit ) The requirements for a common - law marriage to be validly contracted differ from state to state . All states , however , recognize common - law marriages that were validly contracted in other states under their laws of comity and choice of law / conflict of laws . ( The Full Faith and Credit Clause of the United States Constitution does not apply to common law marriages because they are not public acts ( i.e. statutes , ordinances , general laws , etc . ) , not public records , and not judicial proceedings . ) Common - law marriage also exists in the Native American tribes . Among Native American tribes , for example , the Navajo Nation permits common - law marriage and allows its members to marry through tribal ceremonial processes and traditional processes . Otherwise , common - law marriages can no longer be contracted in any of the other states . Income tax purposes and other federal provisions ( edit ) A common - law marriage is recognized for federal tax purposes if it is recognized by the state or jurisdiction where the taxpayers currently live , or in the state where the common - law marriage began . If the marriage is recognized under the law and customs of the state or jurisdiction in which the marriage takes place ( even in a foreign country ) , the marriage is valid for tax purposes ( Rev. Rul. 58 - 66 ) . Practitioners should be alert to the specific state or jurisdiction requirements in order for their clients who are contemplating filing joint returns satisfy the requirements of the state or jurisdiction to be considered common - law married . In February 2015 , the United States Department of Labor issued its final rule amending the definition of `` spouse '' under the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 `` FMLA '' in response to the United States v. Windsor decision recognizing same - sex marriage . The new DOL rule became effective March 27 , 2015 . The revised definition of `` spouse '' extends FMLA leave rights and job protections to eligible employees in a same - sex marriage or a common - law marriage entered into in a state or jurisdiction where those statuses are legally recognized , regardless of the state in which the employee currently works or resides . Accordingly , even if an employer has employees working where same - sex or common - law marriage is not recognized , those employees ' spouses would trigger FMLA coverage if an employee was married in one of the many states that recognize same - sex marriage or common - law marriage . State law Issues ( edit ) Common - law marriage in the United States can still be contracted in the District of Columbia as well as in the following nine states : Colorado , Iowa , Kansas , Montana , Oklahoma , Rhode Island , South Carolina , Texas , and Utah . Common - law marriages can no longer be contracted in the following twenty - seven states , as of the dates given : Alabama ( 2016 ). , Alaska ( 1917 ) , Arizona ( 1913 ) , California ( 1895 ) , Florida ( 1968 ) , Georgia ( 1997 ) , Hawaii ( 1920 ) , Idaho ( 1996 ) , Illinois ( 1905 ) , Indiana ( 1958 ) , Kentucky ( 1852 ) , Maine ( 1652 , when it became part of Massachusetts ; then a state , 1820 ) , Massachusetts ( 1646 ) , Michigan ( 1957 ) , Minnesota ( 1941 ) , Mississippi ( 1956 ) , Missouri ( 1921 ) , Nebraska ( 1923 ) , Nevada ( 1943 ) , New Jersey ( 1939 ) , New Mexico ( 1860 ) , New York ( 1933 , also 1902 -- 1908 ) , North Dakota ( 1890 ) , Ohio ( 1991 ) , Pennsylvania ( 2005 ) , South Dakota ( 1959 ) and Wisconsin ( 1917 ) . Common - law marriages have never been permitted to be contracted in the following thirteen states : Arkansas , Connecticut , Delaware , Louisiana , Maryland , North Carolina , Oregon , Tennessee , Vermont , Virginia , Washington , West Virginia , and Wyoming . One state recognizes common - law marriage only through death for probate purposes : New Hampshire . Divorce in common - law marriage ( edit ) All states -- including those that have abolished the contract of common - law marriage within their boundaries -- recognize common - law marriages lawfully contracted in jurisdictions that permit it . Some states that do not recognize common - law marriage also afford legal rights to parties to a putative marriage ( i.e. in circumstances when someone who was not actually married , e.g. due to a failure to obtain or complete a valid marriage license from the proper jurisdiction , believed in good faith that he or she was married ) that arise before a marriage 's invalidity is discovered . This is because all states provide that validity of foreign marriage is determined per lex loci celebrationis -- that is , `` by law of the place of celebration . '' In addition , the full faith and credit clause of the U.S. Constitution , discussed below , requires all U.S. states to recognize the validity of official acts of other U.S. states . Thus , a marriage validly contracted in Ohio , including common - law marriages entered into before that state abolished new common - law marriages in 1991 , is valid in Indiana , even though the common - law marriage could not have been legally contracted in Indiana , because Ohio law is the basis of its validity . However , by the same principle , a marriage that was not lawfully contracted in Ohio would not be valid in Indiana even if it could have been lawfully contracted there . Additionally , some courts have held that all marriages performed within the U.S. must be valid in all states under the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the U.S. Constitution . However , none of the cases to date has actually used the Clause to validate a sister - state marriage , and there is currently no known appellate case on the issue , working its way through U.S. courts , that is likely to reach the U.S. Supreme Court -- whose decision would apply nationally , not just locally or within a particular state or a federal circuit . Note there is no such thing as `` common - law divorce '' in the United States -- that is , a married couple can not terminate a common - law marriage as easily as they got into one . Only the contract of the marriage is irregular ; everything else about the marriage is the same as a regularly licensed and solemnized marriage . Divorce or dissolution of marriage requires filing a petition for divorce or dissolution in the appropriate court in their state . Validity of a common - law marriage ( edit ) Rulings on the validity of a particular common - law marriage frequently refrain from identifying a specific date of marriage when this is not necessary , because often , there is no one event or marriage ceremony that establishes this date . Even when a relationship begins in a state that does not recognize common - law marriage , if the couple relocates to a state that recognizes common - law marriage , a common - law marriage between the parties is often recognized if the couple 's relationship continues in the new state . It is not uncommon for someone to claim to be a spouse based upon time the couple spent together in a common - law marriage state even after the couple leaves that state . The case law does not definitively establish whether a couple who are briefly present in a common - law marriage state , and who otherwise are eligible to be considered common - law married , but who do not establish domicile in that state , will be recognized as common - law married in a state that does not itself have common - law marriage . Legislation in states that recognize common - law marriage ( edit ) The requirements for a common - law marriage to be validly contracted differ in the eleven U.S. jurisdictions which still permit them . Colorado ( edit ) The elements of a common - law marriage are , with respect to both spouses : ( 1 ) holding themselves out as husband and wife ; ( 2 ) consenting to the marriage ; ( 3 ) cohabitation ; and ( 4 ) having the reputation in the community as being married . Different sources disagree regarding the requirement of cohabitation and some indicate that consummation ( i.e. post-marital sexual intercourse ) is also an element of common - law marriage . Colorado , by statute , no longer recognizes common - law marriages entered by minors in Colorado , and also does not recognize foreign common - law marriages entered into by minors , even if that marriage would have been valid where entered into under local law . See Section 14 - 2 - 109.5 , Colorado Revised Statutes . The constitutionality of this limitation as applied to foreign marriages has not been tested in litigation . Colorado , Montana , and Texas are the only U.S. states to recognize both putative marriage and common - law marriage . District of Columbia ( edit ) According to the District of Columbia Department of Human Services , a common - law marriage is `` A marriage that is legally recognized even though there has been no ceremony and there is no certification of marriage . A common - law marriage exists if the two persons are legally free to marry , if it is the intent of the two persons to establish a marriage , and if the two are known to the community as husband and wife . '' Common - law marriages have been recognized in the District of Columbia since 1931 . Holding common - law marriages legal , District Court of Appeals Justice D. Laurence Groner said , `` We think it can not now be controverted that an agreement between a man and woman to be husband and wife , consummated by cohabitation as husband and wife , constitutes a valid marriage unless there be in existence in the State in which the agreement is made , a statute declaring the marriage to be invalid unless solemnized in a prescribed manner . We think it equally true that the rule now generally recognized is that statutes requiring a marriage to be preceded by a license or to be solemnized by a religious ceremony without words of nullity as to marriages contracted otherwise are directory merely and failure to procure the license or to go through a religious ceremony does not invalidate the marriage ... There is nothing in the statute which declares that a marriage shall not be valid unless solemnized in the prescribed manner , nor does it declare any particular thing requisite to the validity of the marriage . The act confines itself wholly with providing the mode of solemnizing the marriage and to the persons authorized to perform the ceremony . Indeed , the statue itself declares the purpose underlying the requirements to be secure registration and evidence of the marriage rather than to deny validity to marriages not performed according to its terms . '' Iowa ( edit ) The three elements of a common - law marriage are : ( 1 ) the present intent and agreement to be married ; ( 2 ) continuous cohabitation ; and ( 3 ) public declaration that the parties are husband and wife . The public declaration or holding out to the public is considered to be the acid test of a common - law marriage . Adm. Rule 701 -- 73.25 ( 425 ) of the Iowa Administrative Code , titled Common Law Marriage , states : A common law marriage is a social relationship that meets all the necessary requisites of a marriage except that it was not solemnized , performed or witnessed by an official authorized by law to perform marriages . The necessary elements of a common law marriage are : ( a ) a present intent of both parties freely given to become married , ( b ) a public declaration by the parties or a holding out to the public that they are husband and wife , ( c ) continuous cohabitation together as husband and wife ( this means consummation of the marriage ) , and ( d ) both parties must be capable of entering into the marriage relationship . No special time limit is necessary to establish a common law marriage . Edit : 701 -- 73.26 Rescinded , effective October 2 , 1985 . This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code section 425.17 . Kansas ( edit ) Under Kansas Statute 23 - 2502 , both parties to a common - law marriage must be 18 years old . The three requirements that must coexist to establish a common - law marriage in Kansas are : ( 1 ) capacity to marry ; ( 2 ) a present marriage agreement ; and ( 3 ) a holding out of each other as husband and wife to the public . Montana ( edit ) A common - law marriage is established when a couple : `` ( 1 ) is competent to enter into a marriage , ( 2 ) mutually consents and agrees to a common - law marriage , and ( 3 ) cohabits and is reputed in the community to be husband and wife . '' New Hampshire ( edit ) New Hampshire recognizes common - law marriage for purposes of probate only . In New Hampshire `` ( P ) ersons cohabiting and acknowledging each other as husband and wife , and generally reputed to be such , for the period of 3 years , and until the decease of one of them , shall thereafter be deemed to have been legally married . '' Thus , the state posthumously recognizes common - law marriages to ensure that a surviving spouse inherits without any difficulty . Oklahoma ( edit ) The situation in Oklahoma has been unclear since the mid-1990s , with legal scholars reporting each of 1994 , 1998 , 2005 , and 2010 as the year common - law marriage was abolished in the state . However , as of September 12 , 2016 , the Oklahoma Tax Commission continues to represent common - law marriage as legal there , and the Department of Corrections continues to reference common - law marriage , though that could refer to older marriages . No reference to the ban appears in the relevant statutes ; the 2010 bill that attempted to abolish common - law marriage passed the state Senate , but died in a House committee . Multiple legal websites continue to represent common - law marriage as legal in Oklahoma . Oklahoma common - law status is much controverted , but as of February 19 , 2014 , several Oklahoma executive agencies continue to represent it as legal , and a reputed ban in 2010 can not be found in its statutes . Rhode Island ( edit ) The criteria for a common - law marriage are : ( 1 ) the parties seriously intended to enter into the husband - wife relationship ; ( 2 ) the parties ' conduct is of such a character as to lead to a belief in the community that they were married . South Carolina ( edit ) The criteria for a common - law marriage are : ( 1 ) when two parties have a present intent ( usually , but not necessarily , evidenced by a public and unequivocal declaration ) to enter into a marriage contract ; and ( 2 ) `` a mutual agreement between the parties to assume toward each other the relation of husband and wife . '' Common law marriages can dissolve in legal divorce and alimony . Texas ( edit ) The Texas Family Code , Sections 2.401 through 2.405 , define how a common - law marriage ( which is known as both `` marriage without formalities '' and `` informal marriage '' in the text ) can be established in one of two ways . Both parties must be at least age 18 to enter into a common - law marriage . First , a couple can file a legal `` Declaration of Informal Marriage '' , which is a legally binding document . The form must be completed by both marriage partners and sworn or affirmed in presence of the County Clerk . The Declaration is formally recorded as part of the Official County Records by Volume and Page number , and is then forwarded by the County Clerk to the Texas Bureau of Vital Statistics , where it is again legally recorded as formal evidence of marriage . This is the same procedure that is used when a marriage license is issued and filed ; the term `` Informal '' refers only to the fact that no formal wedding ceremony ( whether civil or religious ) was conducted . Second , a couple can meet a three - prong test , showing evidence of all of the following : first , an agreement to be married ; after such agreement , cohabitation within the State of Texas ; and after such agreement , representation to others ( within the State of Texas ) that the parties are married . Regarding the second prong , in the actual text of the Texas Family Code , there is no specification on the length of time that a couple must cohabitate to meet this requirement . As such , an informal marriage can occur under Texas law if the couple lives together for as little as one day , if the other requirements ( an agreement to be married and holding out as married to the public ) can be shown . Likewise , a couple can cohabit for 50 years , but if they never have an agreement to be married , or hold themselves out to the public as married , their 50 - year cohabitation will not make them informally married under Texas law . Dissolution of this type marriage requires formal Annulment or Divorce Proceedings , the same as with the other more recognized forms of ' ceremonial ' marriages . However , if a couple does not commence a proceeding to prove their relationship was a marriage within two years of the end of their cohabitation and relationship , there is a legal presumption that they were never informally married , but this presumption is rebuttable . Utah ( edit ) Utah 's status with common - law marriage is mixed . Government websites claim that common - law marriage does not exist in Utah . However , other legal websites state that non-matrimonial relationships may be recognized as marriage within one year after the relationship ends . This is very similar to common - law marriage . Utah recognizes common - law marriages only if they have been validated by a court or administrative order . For a common - law marriage to be legal and valid , `` a court or administrative order must establish that '' the parties : ( 1 ) `` are of legal age and capable of giving consent '' ; ( 2 ) `` are legally capable of entering a solemnized marriage under the provisions of Title 30 , Chap. 1 of the Utah Code ; ( 3 ) `` have cohabited '' ; ( 4 ) `` mutually assume marital rights , duties , and obligations '' ; and ( 5 ) `` hold themselves out as and have acquired a uniform and general reputation as husband and wife '' In Utah , the fact that two parties are legally incapable of entering into a common - law marriage , because they are already married , does not preclude criminal liability for bigamy or polygamy . Also , non-matrimonial relationships may be recognized as marriage within one year after the relationship ends , via validation by the above mentioned court or administrative order . Legislation in states that do not recognize common - law marriage ( edit ) Alabama ( edit ) Since January 1 , 2017 , Alabama has abolished common - law marriage . Common law marriages contracted before this date are still valid . A valid common - law marriage exists when there is capacity to enter into a marriage , the parties must be at least 16 with legal parental consent and present agreement or consent to be married , public recognition of the existence of the marriage , and consummation . California ( edit ) California Family Code Section 308 provides that a marriage validly contracted in another jurisdiction is valid in California . Thus , a common - law marriage validly contracted in another jurisdiction is valid in California notwithstanding it could not be legally contracted within California ; and a common - law marriage that was not validly contracted in another U.S. jurisdiction is not valid in California . All other states have similar statutory provisions . Exceptions to this rule are marriages deemed by the jurisdiction to be `` odious to public policy '' . In general , states which have abolished common - law marriage continue to recognize such marriages contracted in the past ( i.e. before the date when they were abolished ) . Nevada ( edit ) Nevada does n't recognize common - law marriage . However , in Williams v. Williams , 120 Nev . 559 , 97 P. 3d 1124 , 2004 Nev . LEXIS 84 , 120 Nev . Adv . Rep. 64 ( Nev . 2004 ) , adopted the majority opinion of the putative spouse doctrine . This doctrine , accepted by a majority of states , is when a marriage is found to be void because of a prior legal impediment . In the Williams case , the wife and husband filed for a marriage , license , held a ceremony , and both felt they were married . However , Mr. Williams ' divorce to a previous wife was found to have been dismissed by the court without Mr. Williams ' knowledge . With his previous divorce not valid , under Nevada law his marriage to the new Mrs. Williams was void . He could not get married if he was still married . The Nevada courts ruled Mrs. Williams was a putative spouse and for the purposes of the new divorce against Mr. Williams , the courts would allow Mrs. Williams to plead for community property rights as much as any other spouse . Pennsylvania ( edit ) Pennsylvania 's domestic relations marriage statute now reads : `` No common - law marriage contracted after January 1 , 2005 , shall be valid . Nothing in this part shall be deemed or taken to render any common - law marriage otherwise lawful and contracted on or before January 1 , 2005 , invalid . '' The situation in Pennsylvania became unclear in 2003 when an intermediate appellate court purported to abolish common - law marriage even though the state Supreme Court had recognized ( albeit somewhat reluctantly ) the validity of common - law marriages only five years before . The Pennsylvania legislature resolved most of the uncertainty by abolishing common - law marriages entered into after January 1 , 2005 . However , it is still not certain whether Pennsylvania courts will recognize common - law marriages entered into after the date of the Stamos decision and before the effective date of the statute ( i.e. , after September 17 , 2003 , and on or before January 1 , 2005 ) , because the other intermediate appellate court has suggested that it might not follow the Stamos decision .

We think it can not now be controverted that an agreement between a man and woman to be husband and wife , consummated by cohabitation as husband and wife , constitutes a valid marriage unless there be in existence in the State in which the agreement is made , a statute declaring the marriage to be invalid unless solemnized in a prescribed manner . We think it equally true that the rule now generally recognized is that statutes requiring a marriage to be preceded by a license or to be solemnized by a religious ceremony without words of nullity as to marriages contracted otherwise are directory merely and failure to procure the license or to go through a religious ceremony does not invalidate the marriage ... There is nothing in the statute which declares that a marriage shall not be valid unless solemnized in the prescribed manner , nor does it declare any particular thing requisite to the validity of the marriage . The act confines itself wholly with providing the mode of solemnizing the marriage and to the persons authorized to perform the ceremony . Indeed , the statue itself declares the purpose underlying the requirements to be secure registration and evidence of the marriage rather than to deny validity to marriages not performed according to its terms .

Gremlins
Gremlins - wikipedia Gremlins Jump to : navigation , search For other uses , see Gremlin ( disambiguation ) . Gremlins Theatrical release poster by John Alvin Directed by Joe Dante Produced by Michael Finnell Written by Chris Columbus Starring Zach Galligan Phoebe Cates Hoyt Axton Polly Holliday Frances Lee McCain Music by Jerry Goldsmith Cinematography John Hora Edited by Tina Hirsch Production company Amblin Entertainment Distributed by Warner Bros . Release date June 8 , 1984 ( 1984 - 06 - 08 ) Running time 106 minutes Country United States Language English Budget $11 million Box office $153.1 million Gremlins is a 1984 American comedy horror film directed by Joe Dante and released by Warner Bros . The film is about a young man who receives a strange creature called a mogwai as a pet , which then spawns other creatures who transform into small , destructive , evil monsters . This story was continued with a sequel , Gremlins 2 : The New Batch , released in 1990 . Unlike the lighter sequel , Gremlins opts for more black comedy , balanced against a Christmastime setting . Both films were the center of large merchandising campaigns . Steven Spielberg was the film 's executive producer , with the film being produced by Michael Finnell and written by Chris Columbus , drawing on legends of gremlins going back to World War II . The film stars Zach Galligan and Phoebe Cates , with Howie Mandel providing the voice of Gizmo , the main mogwai character . Gremlins was a commercial success and received positive reviews from critics . However , the film was also heavily criticized for some of its more violent sequences . In response to this and to similar complaints about Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom , Spielberg suggested that the Motion Picture Association of America ( MPAA ) alter its rating system , which it did within two months of the film 's release .

In the store , Randall encounters a small , furry creature called a mogwai ( Cantonese : 魔怪 , `` monster '' ) . The owner , Mr. Wing , refuses to sell the creature to Randall . However , his grandson secretly sells the mogwai to Randall , warning him to remember three important rules that must never be broken -- do not expose the mogwai to bright lights or sunlight which will kill it , do not let it get wet , and never feed it after midnight . Randall returns home to Kingston Falls where he gives the mogwai to Billy as a pet . Billy works in the local bank , where he fears his dog Barney will be captured and killed by the elderly Mrs. Deagle . Randall names the mogwai `` Gizmo '' and Billy makes sure to treat him well . When Billy 's friend Pete spills a glass of water over Gizmo , five more mogwai spawn from his back , a more troublemaking sort led by the aggressive Stripe . Billy shows one of the mogwai to his former science teacher Mr. Hanson , spawning another mogwai , on whom Hanson experiments . Back at home , Stripe 's gang tricks Billy into feeding them after midnight by chewing out the power cord to his bedside clock . They make cocoons , as does Hanson 's mogwai . Shortly after , the cocoons hatch and they emerge as mischievous , reptilian monsters that torture Gizmo and try to murder Billy 's mother , while Hanson is killed by his gremlin . All of the Gremlins are killed except Stripe , who escapes to a local YMCA and jumps into a swimming pool , spawning an army of gremlins who wreak chaos around Kingston Falls . Billy tries to warn the police , but they do n't believe him . Many people are injured or outright killed by the gremlins ' rampage , including Mrs. Deagle , who is launched out of her house on a stair lift that has been sabotaged by the creatures . At the local bar , the gremlins have fun until the barmaid Kate Beringer , Billy 's girlfriend , flashes them with a camera and escapes into the bank with Billy and Gizmo . While hiding , she reveals her father died in a chimney while dressed as Santa Claus . Billy and Kate discover the town has fallen silent and the Gremlins are watching Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in the local theater . They set off an explosion , killing all the Gremlins except Stripe . Billy chases Stripe into a Montgomery Ward store , where Stripe climbs into a water fountain and tries to spawn more gremlins . Gizmo arrives in a toy car and opens a skylight , exposing Stripe to sunlight and melting him . In the aftermath of the rampage , Mr. Wing arrives to collect Gizmo , scolding the Peltzers for their carelessness , thinking the Western world is not ready but comments that Billy might some day be ready to care for Gizmo properly . Gizmo likewise believes so , having become attached to Billy . Mr. Wing departs with Gizmo in tow .

According to Professor Noël Carroll , Ghostbusters , released the same weekend as Gremlins , and the comic strip The Far Side also followed this trend . Carroll argued that there was now a new genre emphasizing sudden shifts between humorous and horrific scenes , drawing laughs with plot elements that have been traditionally used to scare . The notion of gremlins was first conceived during World War II when mechanical failures in aircraft were jokingly blamed on the small monsters . The term `` gremlins '' also entered popular culture as children 's author Roald Dahl published a book called The Gremlins in 1943 , based on the mischievous creatures . Walt Disney considered making a film of it . A Bugs Bunny cartoon of the era , Falling Hare , has him battling a gremlin on an airplane . Joe Dante had read The Gremlins and said that the book was of some influence on his film . In 1983 , Dante publicly distanced his work from earlier films , explaining , `` Our gremlins are somewhat different -- they 're sort of green and they have big mouths and they smile a lot and they do incredibly , really nasty things to people and enjoy it all the while '' . Development ( edit ) Chris Columbus conceived of the idea for Gremlins and wrote the initial draft as a spec script . The story of Gremlins was conceived by Chris Columbus . As Columbus explained , his inspiration came from his loft , when at night `` what sounded like a platoon of mice would come out and to hear them skittering around in the blackness was really creepy '' . He then wrote the original screenplay as a spec script to show potential employers that he had writing abilities . The story was not actually intended to be filmed until Steven Spielberg took an interest in turning it into a film . As Spielberg explained , `` It 's one of the most original things I 've come across in many years , which is why I bought it . '' After deciding to executive produce the film , Spielberg chose Dante as his director because of his experience with horror - comedy ; Dante had previously directed The Howling ( 1981 ) ; however , in the time between The Howling and the offer to film Gremlins , he had experienced a lull in his career . The film 's producer was Michael Finnell , who had also worked on The Howling with Dante . Spielberg took the project to Warner Bros. and co-produced it through his own company , Amblin Entertainment . The film 's script went through a few drafts before a shooting script was finalized . The first version was much darker than the final film . Various scenes were cut , including one which portrayed Billy 's mother dying in her struggle with the gremlins , with her head thrown down the stairs when Billy arrives . Dante later explained the scene made the film darker than the filmmakers wanted . There was also a scene where the gremlins ate Billy 's dog and a scene where the gremlins attacked a McDonald 's , eating customers instead of burgers . Also , instead of Stripe being a mogwai who becomes a gremlin , there was originally no mogwai named Stripe ; rather , Gizmo was supposed to transform into Stripe the gremlin . Spielberg overruled this plot element as he felt Gizmo was cute and that audiences would want him to be present throughout the film . A famous urban legend is referenced in the film , in which Kate reveals in a speech that her father died at Christmas when he dressed as Santa Claus and broke his neck while climbing down the family 's chimney . After the film was completed , the speech proved to be controversial , and studio executives insisted upon its removal , because they felt it was too ambiguous as to whether it was supposed to be funny or sad . Dante stubbornly refused to take the scene out , saying it represented the film as a whole , which had a combination of horrific and comedic elements . Spielberg did not like the scene but , despite his creative control , he viewed Gremlins as Dante 's project and allowed him to leave it in . A parody of this scene is featured in Gremlins 2 : The New Batch . Casting ( edit ) Zach Galligan was a relatively unknown actor when cast as the lead character Billy . Phoebe Cates was cast as Kate , Billy 's girlfriend , despite concerns that she was known for playing more risqué parts , such as Linda Barrett in Fast Times at Ridgemont High ( 1982 ) . Spielberg urged the casting of the relatively unknown Zach Galligan as Billy because he saw chemistry between Galligan and Cates during auditions . Galligan later compared himself to Billy , saying he was a `` geeky kid '' , and that being in the film `` was really kind of a dream '' given `` what I get to do , what my character gets to do , blow up movie theatres '' , adding that he `` got to work with great people '' . Spielberg commented when Galligan was testing with Cates that `` he 's in love with her already '' and that was how Galligan won the part . In contrast to Galligan , many of the supporting actors and actresses were better known . Veteran actor Glynn Turman portrayed the high school science teacher whose study of a newborn Mogwai leads to his death after it forms a cocoon and emerges as a vicious gremlin . Dick Miller , who was a regular in Dante 's films , was another experienced actor on the set , playing a World War II veteran who first refers to the creatures as gremlins . Rand was played by Hoyt Axton , who was always the filmmakers ' preferred choice for the role even though it was widely contested by other actors . Axton 's experience included acting as the father in The Black Stallion ( 1979 ) , and he was also a country music singer - songwriter . After an introductory scene to Gremlins was cut , Axton 's voice earned him the added role of the narrator to establish some context . Mr. Wing was played by Keye Luke , a renowned film actor , whose film career spanned half a century . Although in reality he was around 80 at the time of filming , and his character was very elderly , Luke 's youthful appearance had to be covered by make - up . Corey Feldman , who up to that time had primarily been in commercials , played Pete Fountaine , establishing his early credentials as a child actor . Polly Holliday , an actress best known for her role in Alice , played Mrs. Deagle . Dante considered the casting fortunate , as she was well - known and he considered her to be talented . Two other well - known actors , Fast Times ' Judge Reinhold and character actor Edward Andrews , received roles that were significantly reduced after the film was edited ; they played Billy 's superiors at the bank . Special effects ( edit ) Comedian Howie Mandel provided the voice for Gizmo . Some of the performances were shot on the backlot of Universal Studios in California ( Mrs. Deagle 's house was one such set as well as the opening street scenes in Chinatown , which were filmed on the Warner Bros. Studios backlot ) . This required fake snow ; Dante also felt it was an atmosphere that would make the special effects more convincing . As the special effects relied mainly on puppetry ( an earlier attempt to use monkeys was abandoned because the test monkey panicked when made to wear a gremlin head ) , the actors worked alongside some of the puppets . Nevertheless , after the actors finished their work for good , a great deal of effort was spent finishing the effects . Numerous small rubber puppets , some of which were mechanical , were used to portray Gizmo and the gremlins . They were designed by Chris Walas . There was more than one Gizmo puppet , and occasionally Galligan , when carrying one , would set him down off camera , and when Gizmo appeared again sitting on a surface it was actually a different puppet wired to the surface . These puppets had many limitations . The Gizmo puppets were particularly frustrating because they were smaller and thus broke down more . Consequently , to satisfy the crew , a scene was included in which the gremlins hang Gizmo on a wall and throw darts at him . This was included on a list that the crew created known to them as the `` Horrible Things to do to Gizmo '' list . A few marionettes were also used . Other effects required large mogwai faces and ears to be produced for close - ups , as the puppets were less capable of conveying emotion . Consequently , large props simulating food were needed for the close - ups in the scene in which the mogwai feast after midnight . An enlarged Gizmo puppet was also needed for the scene in which he multiplies . The new mogwai , who popped out of Gizmo 's body as small , furry balls which then started to grow , were balloons and expanded as such . Walas had also created the exploding gremlin in the microwave by means of a balloon that was allowed to burst . Howie Mandel provided the voice for Gizmo , and prolific voice actor Frank Welker provided the voice for Stripe . It was Welker who suggested Mandel perform in Gremlins . The puppets ' lines were mostly invented by the voice actors , based on cues from the physical actions of the puppets , which were filmed before the voice work . When developing the voice for Gizmo , Mandel explained , `` ( Gizmo was ) cute and naive , so , you know , I got in touch with that ... I could n't envision going any other way or do something different with it '' . The majority of the other gremlins ' voices were performed by Michael Winslow and Peter Cullen , while the remaining voices were done by Bob Bergen , Kevin Michael Richardson , Fred Newman , Mark Dodson , Bob Holt , and Michael Sheehan . Music ( edit ) The film 's score was composed by Jerry Goldsmith , who won a Saturn Award for Best Music for his efforts . The main score was composed with the objective of conveying `` the mischievous humor and mounting suspense of Gremlins '' . Goldsmith also wrote Gizmo 's song , which was hummed by a child actress and acquaintance of Goldsmith 's , rather than Mandel himself . Goldsmith also appears in the film ( as does Steven Spielberg ) , in the scene where Rand calls home from the salesman 's convention . The soundtrack album was released by Geffen Records as a specially priced mini-album on LP and cassette ( Goldsmith 's music comprised all of side two ) and reissued on compact disc in 1993 only in Germany .

The scene in which a gremlin explodes in the microwave was particularly influential to the idea that some films too light to be rated R are still too mature to be rated PG . The change to the rating system was not insignificant ; the rating PG - 13 turned out to be appealing to many film patrons , as it implied some excitement without being too explicit . Reception ( edit ) Critical reception ( edit ) Film critics ' reviews of Gremlins were mostly positive . Roger Ebert approved of the film , declaring it to not only be `` fun '' , but also a `` sly series of send - ups '' , effectively parodying many elemental film storylines . In his opinion , Gremlins did this partly through depictions of mysterious worlds ( the shop in Chinatown ) and tyrannical elderly women ( Mrs. Deagle ) . Ebert also believed the rule in which a mogwai can not eat after midnight was inspired by fairy tales , and that the final scenes parody classic horror films . He connected Kate 's speech about her father with `` the great tradition of 1950s sick jokes '' . Conversely , Leonard Maltin disapproved of the film , and his view was made clear in remarks he made on the television show Entertainment Tonight . He called the film `` icky '' and `` gross '' . He later wrote that despite being set in a `` picture - postcard town '' and blending the feel of It 's a Wonderful Life ( a clip of which appears in Gremlins ) with that of The Blob , the film is `` negated by too - vivid violence and mayhem '' ; giving the film two out of four stars . Maltin later made a cameo appearance in Gremlins 2 , repeating his criticisms of the original on film , as an in - joke , before being throttled by the creatures ; he later gave the second film a more positive rating , three out of four stars . While some critics criticized the film 's depictions of violence and greed -- such as death scenes , Kate 's speech , and the gremlins ' gluttony -- for lacking comic value , scholar Charlotte Miller instead interpreted these as a satire of `` some characteristics of Western civilization '' , suggesting that Westerners may take too much satisfaction from violence . Gremlins can also be interpreted as a statement against technology , in that some characters , such as Billy 's father , are overly dependent on it . In contrast , Mr. Wing is shown to have a strong distaste for television . Kirkpatrick Sale also interpreted Gremlins as an anti-technology film in his book Rebels Against the Future . Another scholar suggested that the film is meant to express a number of observations of society by having the gremlin characters shift in what they are meant to represent . At different times , they are depicted as teenagers , the wealthy establishment , or fans of Disney films . Another scholar drew a connection between the microwave scene and urban legends about pets dying in microwave ovens . He described the portrayal of this urban legend in the film as successful , but that meant it seemed terrible . This is indeed a scene that is thought of as being one of the film 's most violent depictions ; with even Roger Ebert expressing some fear in his review that the film might encourage children to try similar things with their pets . Gremlins has been criticized for more than its depictions of violence . One BBC critic wrote in 2000 that `` The plot is thin and the pacing is askew '' . However , that critic also complimented the dark humour contrasted against the ideal Christmas setting . In 2002 , another critic wrote that in hindsight , Gremlins has `` corny special effects '' and that the film will tend to appeal to children more so than to adults ; he also said the acting was dull . Despite the initial mixed criticism , Gremlins has continued to receive critical praise over the years . It currently holds an 85 % `` Certified Fresh '' rating on the review aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes , and is considered by many as one of the best films of 1984 . Allegations of racism ( edit ) Since its release , some people have criticized Gremlins as being culturally insensitive . Jonathan Rosenbaum argued that the film presents gremlins as African Americans . In Ceramic Uncles & Celluloid Mammies , Patricia Turner writes that the gremlins `` reflect negative African - American stereotypes '' in their dress and behavior . They are shown `` devouring fried chicken with their hands '' , listening to black music , breakdancing , and wearing sunglasses after dark and newsboy caps , a style common among African American males in the 1980s . Box Office ( edit ) Director Joe Dante acknowledged some parents were upset after taking their children to see Gremlins in theaters . Financially , Gremlins was a success . Produced on an $11 million budget , it was more expensive than Spielberg had originally intended but still relatively cheap for its time . The trailer introduced the film to audiences by briefly explaining that Billy receives a strange creature as a Christmas present , by going over the three rules , and then coming out with the fact that the creatures transform into terrible monsters . This trailer showed little of either the mogwai or the gremlins . In contrast to this , other advertisements concentrated on Gizmo , overlooked the gremlins , and made the film look similar to Spielberg 's earlier family film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial ( 1982 ) . Gremlins was released into North American theaters on June 8 , 1984 , the same day as Ivan Reitman 's Ghostbusters . Gremlins ranked second , with $12.5 million in its first weekend , $1.1 million less than Ghostbusters . By the end of its American screenings on November 29 , it had grossed $148,168,459 domestically . This made it the fourth highest - grossing film of the year , behind Beverly Hills Cop , Ghostbusters , and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom . In August 1984 , it opened in Argentina and Spain , and in October it premiered in West Germany . Screenings began in Mexico , Australia , and much of the rest of Europe in December . Since Gremlins had an international audience , different versions of the film were made to overcome cultural barriers . Mandel learned to speak his few intelligible lines , such as `` Bright light ! '' , in various languages , including German . Regional music and humor were also incorporated into foreign - language versions . Dante credited this work as being one of the factors which helped to make Gremlins a worldwide success . However , many critics questioned the summer release date of the film in America , as the film takes place during the Christmas holiday season , causing them to comment that it should have had a Christmas release date instead . In addition to this , there were also complaints from audiences about the violence depicted in the film . These complaints were particularly present in people who had brought their children to see the film , many of whom walked out of the theater before the film had ended . Dante admitted to reporters later that `` the idea of taking a 4 - year - old to see Gremlins , thinking it 's going to be a cuddly , funny animal movie and then seeing that it turns into a horror picture , I think people were upset ... They felt like they had been sold something family friendly and it was n't entirely family friendly '' . The film became available to audiences again when it was brought back to theaters on August 30 , 1985 . This additional release brought its gross up to $153,083,102 .

The film was released on DVD in 1997 in a bare bones presentation . It included both full screen and widescreen versions and the film 's trailer . It was repackaged in 1999 with the same disc , but a different cover . On August 20 , 2002 , a `` special edition '' DVD was released , which featured cast and filmmakers ' commentary and deleted scenes . A 25th anniversary Blu - ray edition was released on December 1 , 2009 . Merchandising ( edit ) Figurine based on the Stripe character . With its commercial themes , particularly the perceived cuteness of the character Gizmo , Gremlins became the center of considerable merchandising . Due to this , it became part of a rising trend in film , which had received a boost from Spielberg 's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial . Manufacturers including LJN produced versions of Gizmo as dolls or stuffed animals . ( The latter of which became a popular high demand toy during the holiday season of 1984 . ) Both Gizmo and the gremlins were mass - produced as action figures , and Topps printed trading cards based upon the film . A product placement deal with fast food chain Hardee 's also led to a series of five book - and - cassette / 45 records adaptations of the film 's story . Starting in the early 2000s , companies such as Jun Planning and the National Entertainment Collectibles Association produced all - new Gremlins toys and collectibles . In 2017 Trick or Treat Studios began producing official Gremlins life - size puppets of Stripe and Gizmo . The film was also the basis for a novel of the same name by George Gipe , published by Avon Books in June 1984 . The novel offered an origin for mogwai and gremlins as a prologue . Supposedly , mogwai were created as gentle , contemplative creatures by a scientist on an alien world . However , it was discovered that their physiology was unstable . The end result was that only 1 in 10,000 mogwai would retain their sweet , loving demeanor . The rest would change into creatures that the novel referred to as `` mischievous '' . The minority mogwai ( the 1 in 10,000 ) are all but immortal by human standards , though Gizmo explains to Stripe that if he were to undergo the transformation himself , he would become like the others , `` short lived and violent . '' This origin is unique to the novel but is referred to in the novelization of Gremlins 2 by David Bischoff . No definitive origin for mogwai or gremlins is given in either Gremlins film . In addition to this , Gremlins brand breakfast cereal was produced by Ralston concurrent to and for a few years after the first film was released in 1984 . The front of the cereal box featured Gizmo , and inside were decals of the malevolent gremlins , including Stripe . Video games ( edit ) Action - oriented Video games ( edit ) See also : Gremlins ( video game ) Several officially licensed video games based on the film have been produced . One of the first was Gremlins , released by Atari , Inc. for their 2600 console . Atari , Inc. released a completely different ( and more technically advanced ) game - also called Gremlins - for the Atari 5200 console and the Apple II , Commodore 64 , and IBM PC computers . Although the Atari 5200 version went to manufacturing in 1984 , the turmoil surrounding Jack Tramiel 's takeover of Atari 's consumer business resulted in it not being released until 1986 . In the 2000s , more games were released ; Gremlins : Unleashed ! was released on Game Boy Color in 2001 . The game was about Gizmo trying to catch Stripe and thirty other gremlins , while the gremlins also try to turn Gizmo into a gremlin . Both Gizmo and Stripe are playable characters in the game . A Gremlins Team Pack was released for Lego Dimensions on November 18 , 2016 . The pack includes minifigures of Gizmo and Stripe , a constructible polaroid camera and RC car , and grants access to an Adventure World and Battle Arena based on the film . Howie Mandel and Frank Welker reprise their respective roles as Gizmo and Stripe , while Phoebe Cates , Hoyt Axton and Frances Lee McCain reprise as non-playable characters Kate Beringer , Randall Peltzer and Lynn Peltzer respectively . Gremlins : the Adventure ( edit ) At the time of the film 's release , an interactive fiction game based on scenes from the film , entitled Gremlins : The Adventure ( 1985 ) , was released for various home computers , including the Acorn Electron , the BBC Micro , the Commodore 64 and the ZX Spectrum . The game was written by Brian Howarth for Adventure Soft and was text - based , with full - color illustrations on some formats . Legacy ( edit ) The film not only spawned the sequel , Gremlins 2 : The New Batch , and an advertisement for British Telecom , but is believed to have been the inspiration for several unrelated films about small monsters . These include Critters , Ghoulies , Troll , Hobgoblins and Munchies . In music , the Scottish post-rock band Mogwai are named after the film 's creatures : as for the reason for the band chose this as their name , their guitarist , Stuart Braithwaite , has stated that `` it has no significant meaning and we always intended on getting a better one , but like a lot of other things we never got round to it '' . Welsh singer and songwriter Rod Thomas performs under the name Bright Light Bright Light , which is a direct quote from the film . In January 2013 , Vulture reported that Warner Bros. was negotiating with Amblin Entertainment to reboot the Gremlins franchise . Seth Grahame - Smith was tapped to produce , alongside David Katzenberg . In January 2015 , Grahame - Smith stated that the project has been put on hold . In November 2015 , Zach Galligan confirmed that the third film will be a sequel and not a reboot . In a December 2016 interview with Bleeding Cool , Galligan again spoke about a third film saying that `` Warner Bros. definitely wants it , Chris Columbus wants to do it because he 'd like to undo the Gremlins 2 thing as he was n't thrilled with it , and Spielberg wants to . '' He claimed Gremlins 3 is being written by Carl Ellsworth . In an interview with / Film in 2017 , a script was written by Chris Columbus . His script explored the idea that has been on the fan 's mind for a long time : `` if all the gremlins come from getting Gizmo wet and feeding his mogwai offspring after midnight , should Gizmo be eliminated ? '' He described his script as `` twisted and dark '' . In 2017 , gremlins were featured in the animated film The Lego Batman Movie , with director Chris McKay explaining he loved the characters . The gremlins were among numerous villains from outside of the Batman franchise playing a role in the film , with many of the added antagonists owned by Warner Bros .

when did the first gremlins movie come out
[ "Gremlins was released into North American theaters on June 8, 1984, the same day as Ivan Reitman's Ghostbusters. Gremlins ranked second, with $12.5 million in its first weekend, $1.1 million less than Ghostbusters. By the end of its American screenings on November 29, it had grossed $148,168,459 domestically. This made it the fourth highest-grossing film of the year, behind Beverly Hills Cop, Ghostbusters, and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.[27] In August 1984, it opened in Argentina and Spain, and in October it premiered in West Germany. Screenings began in Mexico, Australia, and much of the rest of Europe in December.[28] Since Gremlins had an international audience, different versions of the film were made to overcome cultural barriers. Mandel learned to speak his few intelligible lines, such as \"Bright light!\", in various languages, including German. Regional music and humor were also incorporated into foreign-language versions. Dante credited this work as being one of the factors which helped to make Gremlins a worldwide success.[4] However, many critics questioned the summer release date of the film in America, as the film takes place during the Christmas holiday season, causing them to comment that it should have had a Christmas release date instead." ]

Legal drinking age
Legal drinking age - Wikipedia Legal drinking age Jump to : navigation , search This article needs to be updated . Please update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information . ( April 2018 ) Minimum legal age to purchase alcohol by country : Illegal regardless of age Minimum age is 25 Minimum age is 21 Minimum age is 20 Minimum age is 19 Minimum age is 18 Minimum age is 17 Minimum age is 16 Minimum age is 15 No regulation / no age set The legal drinking age is the age at which a person can legally consume alcoholic beverages . These laws cover a wide range of issues and behaviors , addressing when and where alcohol can be consumed . The minimum age alcohol can be legally consumed can be different from the age when it can be purchased in some countries . These laws vary among different countries and many laws have exemptions or special circumstances . Most laws apply only to drinking alcohol in public places , with alcohol consumption in the home being mostly unregulated ( an exception being the UK , which has a minimum legal age of five for supervised consumption in private places ) . Some countries also have different age limits for different types of alcoholic drinks . Kazakhstan , Oman , Pakistan , Qatar , Sri Lanka , Tajikistan , Thailand , United Arab Emirates , Federated States of Micronesia , Palau , Paraguay , Solomon Islands , India ( certain states ) , the United States ( except U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico ) , Yemen ( Aden and Sana'a ) , Japan , Iceland , Canada ( certain Provinces and Territories ) , and South Korea have the highest set drinking ages ; however , some of these countries do not have off - premises drinking limits . Austria , Antigua and Barbuda , Belgium , Bermuda , British Virgin Islands , Cuba , Ethiopia , Gibraltar , Luxembourg , Nicaragua , and Zimbabwe have the lowest set drinking ages . The most commonly known reason for the law behind the legal drinking age is the effect on the brain in adolescents . Due to the fact that the brain is still maturing , alcohol can have negative effect on the memory and long - term thinking . Alongside that , it can cause liver failure , and create a hormone imbalance in teens due to the constant changes and maturing of hormones during puberty .

Father's Day (United States)
Father 's Day ( United States ) - wikipedia Father 's Day ( United States ) This article is about the holiday in the United States of America . For Father 's Day as observed throughout the world , see Father 's Day . Father 's Day Observed by United States Type Commercial Significance Honors fathers and fatherhood Date Third Sunday in June 2017 date June 18 ( 2017 - 06 - 18 ) 2018 date June 17 ( 2018 - 06 - 17 ) 2019 date June 16 ( 2019 - 06 - 16 ) 2020 date June 21 ( 2020 - 06 - 21 ) Frequency annual Related to Mother 's Day Father 's Day is a celebration honoring fathers and celebrating fatherhood , paternal bonds , and the influence of fathers in society . The tradition was said to be started from a memorial service held for a large group of men who died in a mining accident in Monongah , West Virginia in 1907 . It was first proposed by Sonora Dodd of Spokane , Washington in 1909 . It is currently celebrated in the United States annually on the third Sunday in June . Contents 1 History 2 Spelling 3 Dates 4 See also 5 References 5.1 Sources 6 External links History ( edit ) Father 's Day was inaugurated in the United States in the early 20th century to complement Mother 's Day in celebrating fathers , fathering , and fatherhood . Father 's Day was founded in Spokane , Washington at the YMCA in 1910 by Sonora Smart Dodd , who was born in Arkansas . Its first celebration was in the Spokane YMCA on June 19 , 1910 . Her father , the Civil War veteran William Jackson Smart , was a single parent who raised his six children there . After hearing a sermon about Jarvis ' Mother 's Day at Central Methodist Episcopal Church in 1909 , she told her pastor that fathers should have a similar holiday honoring them . Although she initially suggested June 5 , her father 's birthday , the pastors did not have enough time to prepare their sermons , and the celebration was deferred to the third Sunday of June . It did not have much success initially . In the 1920s , Dodd stopped promoting the celebration because she was studying in the Art Institute of Chicago , and it faded into relative obscurity , even in Spokane . In the 1930s Dodd returned to Spokane and started promoting the celebration again , raising awareness at a national level . She had the help of those trade groups that would benefit most from the holiday , for example the manufacturers of ties , tobacco pipes , and any traditional present to fathers . Since 1938 she had the help of the Father 's Day Council , founded by the New York Associated Men 's Wear Retailers to consolidate and systematize the commercial promotion . Americans resisted the holiday during a few decades , perceiving it as just an attempt by merchants to replicate the commercial success of Mother 's Day , and newspapers frequently featured cynical and sarcastic attacks and jokes . But the trade groups did not give up : they kept promoting it and even incorporated the jokes into their adverts , and they eventually succeeded . By the mid-1980s the Father 's Council wrote that `` ( ... ) ( Father 's Day ) has become a Second Christmas for all the men 's gift - oriented industries . '' A bill to accord national recognition of the holiday was introduced in Congress in 1913 . In 1916 , President Woodrow Wilson went to Spokane to speak in a Father 's Day celebration and wanted to make it official , but Congress resisted , fearing that it would become commercialized . US President Calvin Coolidge recommended in 1924 that the day be observed by the nation , but stopped short of issuing a national proclamation . Two earlier attempts to formally recognize the holiday had been defeated by Congress . In 1957 , Maine Senator Margaret Chase Smith wrote a proposal accusing Congress of ignoring fathers for 40 years while honoring mothers , thus `` ( singling ) out just one of our two parents '' . In 1966 , President Lyndon B. Johnson issued the first presidential proclamation honoring fathers , designating the third Sunday in June as Father 's Day . Six years later , the day was made a permanent national holiday when President Richard Nixon signed it into law in 1972 . In addition to Father 's Day , International Men 's Day is celebrated in many countries on November 19 for men and boys who are not fathers . A `` Father 's Day '' service was held on July 5 , 1908 , in Fairmont , West Virginia , in the Williams Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church South , now known as Central United Methodist Church . Grace Golden Clayton was mourning the loss of her father when , on December 1907 , the Monongah Mining Disaster in nearby Monongah killed 361 men , 250 of them fathers , leaving around a thousand fatherless children . Clayton suggested her pastor Robert Thomas Webb to honor all those fathers . Clayton chose the Sunday nearest to the birthday of her father , Methodist minister Fletcher Golden . Clayton 's event did not have repercussions outside of Fairmont for several reasons , among them : the city was overwhelmed by other events , the celebration was never promoted outside of the town itself and no proclamation was made in the City Council . Also two events overshadowed this event : the celebration of Independence Day July 4 , 1908 , with 12,000 attendants and several shows including a hot air balloon event , which took over the headlines in the following days , and the death of a 16 - year - old girl on July 4 . The local church and Council were overwhelmed and they did not even think of promoting the event , and it was not celebrated again for many years . The original sermon was not reproduced in press and it was lost . Finally , Clayton was a quiet person , who never promoted the event or even talked to other persons about it . Clayton also may have been inspired by Anna Jarvis ' crusade to establish Mother 's Day ; two months prior , Jarvis had held a celebration for her dead mother in Grafton , West Virginia , a town about 15 miles ( 24 km ) away from Fairmont . In 1911 , Jane Addams proposed a citywide Father 's Day in Chicago , but she was turned down . In 1912 , there was a Father 's Day celebration in Vancouver , Washington , suggested by Methodist pastor J.J. Berringer of the Irvingtom Methodist Church . They believed mistakenly that they had been the first to celebrate such a day . They followed a 1911 suggestion by the Portland Oregonian . Harry C. Meek , member of Lions Clubs International , claimed that he had first the idea for Father 's Day in 1915 . Meek claimed that the third Sunday of June was chosen because it was his birthday ( it would have been more natural to choose his father 's birthday ) . The Lions Club has named him `` Originator of Father 's Day '' . Meek made many efforts to promote Father 's Day and make it an official holiday . The U.S. Open golf tournament is scheduled to finish on Father 's Day , as was the 2016 NBA Finals . The FireKeepers Casino 400 NASCAR auto race at Michigan International Speedway is sometimes held on Father 's Day . Spelling ( edit ) In the United States , Dodd used the `` Fathers ' Day '' spelling on her original petition for the holiday , but the spelling `` Father 's Day '' was already used in 1913 when a bill was introduced to the U.S. Congress as the first attempt to establish the holiday , and it was still spelled the same way when its creator was commended in 2008 by the U.S. Congress .

when was father day declared a national holiday
[ "A bill to accord national recognition of the holiday was introduced in Congress in 1913.[16] In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson went to Spokane to speak in a Father's Day celebration[17] and wanted to make it official, but Congress resisted, fearing that it would become commercialized.[18] US President Calvin Coolidge recommended in 1924 that the day be observed by the nation, but stopped short of issuing a national proclamation.[17] Two earlier attempts to formally recognize the holiday had been defeated by Congress.[17][19] In 1957, Maine Senator Margaret Chase Smith wrote a proposal accusing Congress of ignoring fathers for 40 years while honoring mothers, thus \"[singling] out just one of our two parents\".[19] In 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson issued the first presidential proclamation honoring fathers, designating the third Sunday in June as Father's Day.[18] Six years later, the day was made a permanent national holiday when President Richard Nixon signed it into law in 1972.[3][17][18][19]\n" ]

El Camino Real (California)
El Camino Real ( California ) - wikipedia El Camino Real ( California ) For other roads of the same name , see El Camino Real ( disambiguation ) . El Camino Real Royal Road A 1920 map showing the 21 Alta California Franciscan missions Highway system State highways in California Interstate U.S. State Pre-1964 History Unconstructed Deleted Freeway Scenic California Historical Landmark Reference no . 784 El Camino Real ( Spanish for The Royal Road , also known as The King 's Highway ) , sometimes associated with Calle Real ( within the US state of California ) , usually refers to the 600 - mile ( 965 - kilometer ) road connecting the 21 Spanish missions in California ( formerly Alta California ) , along with a number of sub-missions , four presidios , and three pueblos , stretching at its southern end from the San Diego area Mission San Diego de Alcalá , all of the way up to the trail 's northern terminus at Mission San Francisco Solano in Sonoma , just above San Francisco Bay . The meaning of the term `` Camino Real '' has in fact changed over time . In earlier Spanish colonial times , any road under the direct jurisdiction of the Spanish crown and its viceroys was considered to be a camino real . Examples of such roads ran between principal settlements throughout Spain and its colonies such as New Spain . Most caminos reales had names apart from the appended camino real . Once Mexico won its independence from Spain , no road in Mexico , including California , was a camino real . The name was rarely used after that and was only revived in the American period in connection with the boosterism associated with the Mission Revival movement of the early 20th century . The original route begins in Baja California Sur , Mexico , at the site of Misión de Nuestra Señora de Loreto Conchó , present day Loreto , ( the first mission successfully established in Las Californias ) . Today , many streets throughout California that either follow or run parallel to this historic route still bear the `` El Camino Real '' name . Some of the original route has also been continually upgraded until it is now part of the modern California freeway system . The route is roughly traced by a series of commemorative bell markers . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 1.1 Spanish and Mexican periods 1.2 American period 1.3 History of commemorative bell - markers 2 Commemorative trail routing 3 Historic designations 4 See also 5 Notes 6 References 7 External links History ( edit ) Spanish and mexican periods ( edit ) A map produced in 1920 shows the earliest origination of `` El Camino Real in Baja California as it existed in 1769 before its later extension into Alta California . Between 1683 and 1834 , Jesuit and Franciscan missionaries established a series of religious outposts from today 's Baja California and Baja California Sur into present - day California . In Alta California ( now the US state of California ) , El Camino Real followed two alternate routes , established by the first two Spanish exploratory expeditions of the region . The first was the Portolá Expedition of 1769 . The expedition party included Franciscan missionaries , led by Junípero Serra . Starting from Loreto , Serra established the first of the 21 missions at San Diego . Serra stayed at San Diego and Juan Crespí continued the rest of the way with Gaspar de Portolá . Proceeding north , Portolá followed ( as much as possible ) the coastline ( today 's California State Route 1 ) , except where forced inland by coastal cliffs . Eventually , the expedition was prevented from going farther north by the entrance to San Francisco Bay , the Golden Gate . Crespí identified several future mission sites which were not developed until later . On the return trip to San Diego , Gaspar de Portolá found a shorter detour around one stretch of coastal cliffs via Conejo Valley . Portolá journeyed again from San Diego to Monterey in 1770 , where Junipero Serra ( who traveled by ship ) founded the second mission ( later moved a short distance south to Carmel . Carmel became Serra 's Alta California mission headquarters . The second Juan Bautista de Anza expedition ( 1775 -- 76 ) , entering Alta California from the southeast ( crossing the Colorado River near today 's Yuma , Arizona ) picked up Portolá 's trail at Mission San Gabriel . De Anza 's scouts found easier traveling in several inland valleys , rather than staying on the rugged coast . On his journey north , de Anza traveled the San Fernando Valley and Salinas Valley . After detouring to the coast to visit the Presidio of Monterey , de Anza went inland again , following the Santa Clara Valley to the southern end of San Francisco Bay and on up the east side of the San Francisco Peninsula . This became the preferred route ( roughly today 's U.S Route 101 ) , and more closely corresponds to the officially recognized El Camino Real . To facilitate overland travel , mission settlements were approximately 30 miles ( 48 kilometers ) apart , so that they were separated by one long day 's ride on horseback along the 600 - mile ( 966 - kilometer ) long El Camino Real ( Spanish for `` The Royal Highway , '' though often referred to in the later embellished English translation , `` The King 's Highway '' ) , and also known as the California Mission Trail . Heavy freight movement was practical only via water . Tradition has it that the padres sprinkled mustard seeds along the trail to mark the windings of the trail 's northward progress with bright yellow flowers , creating a golden trail stretching from San Diego to Sonoma . The Camino Real provided a vital interconnecting land route between the 21 Spanish missions of Alta - California . American period ( edit ) In 1912 , California began paving a section of the historic route in San Mateo County . Construction of a two - lane concrete highway began in front of the historic Uncle Tom 's Cabin , an inn in San Bruno that was built in 1849 and demolished exactly 100 years later . There was little traffic initially and children used the pavement for roller skating until traffic increased . By the late 1920s , California began the first of numerous widening projects of what later became part of U.S. Route 101 . History of commemorative bell - markers ( edit ) A historical marker situated along El Camino Real . In 1892 , Anna Pitcher of Pasadena , California initiated an effort to preserve the as - yet uncommemorated route of Alta California 's Camino Real , an effort adopted by the California Federation of Women 's Clubs in 1902 . Modern El Camino Real was one of the first state highways in California . Given the lack of standardized road signs at the time , it was decided to place distinctive bells along the route , hung on supports in the form of an 11 - foot ( 3.4 m ) high shepherd 's crook , also described as `` a Franciscan walking stick . '' The first of 450 bells were unveiled on August 15 , 1906 , at the Plaza Church in the Pueblo near Olvera Street in Los Angeles . The original organization which installed the bells fragmented , and the Automobile Club of Southern California and associated groups cared for the bells from the mid-1920s through 1931 . The State took over bell maintenance in 1933 . Most of the bells eventually disappeared due to vandalism , theft or simple loss due to the relocation or rerouting of highways and roads . After a reduction in the number of bells to around 80 , the State began replacing them , at first with concrete , and later with iron . A design first produced in 1960 by Justin Kramer of Los Angeles was the standard until the California Department of Transportation ( Caltrans ) began a restoration effort in 1996 . Keith Robinson , Principal Landscape Architect at Caltrans developed an El Camino Real restoration program which resulted in the installation of 555 El Camino Real Bell Markers in 2005 . The Bell Marker consists of a 460 mm diameter cast metal bell set atop a 75 mm diameter Schedule 40 pipe column that is attached to a concrete foundation using anchor rods . The original 1906 bell molds were used to fabricate the replacement bells . The replacement and original bells were produced by the California Bell Company , and are most typically marked 1769 & 1906 , and include a designer 's copyright notice . The two dates represent the date of the founding of the first Alta - California mission in San Diego , and the date of the setting of the first commemorative bell - marker , respectively . Commemorative trail routing ( edit ) The most visible mission as seen from the road while driving the current `` commemorative route '' of the Camino Real , the Mission San Miguel . Today , several modern highways cover parts of the historic route , though large sections are on city streets ( for instance , most of the stretch between San Jose and San Francisco ) . Its full modern route , as defined by the California State Legislature , is as follows : Interstate 5 , U.S. - Mexico border to Anaheim Anaheim Boulevard , Harbor Boulevard , State Route 72 and Whittier Boulevard , Anaheim to Los Angeles U.S. Route 101 , Los Angeles to San Jose State Route 87 , within Santa Clara County State Route 82 , San Jose to San Francisco Interstate 280 , San Francisco U.S. Route 101 , San Francisco to Novato State Route 37 , Novato to Sears Point State Route 121 , Sears Point to Sonoma State Route 12 , Sonoma East Bay route State Route 87 , within Santa Clara County State Route 92 State Route 238 State Route 185 , Hayward to Oakland State Route 123 , Oakland to San Pablo ( continued to Martinez ) Some older local roads that parallel these routes also have the name . Many streets throughout California now bear the name of this famous road , often with little factual relation to the original ; but Mission Street in San Francisco does correspond to the historical route . A surviving , unpaved stretch of the old road has been preserved next to Mission San Juan Bautista ; this section of road actually runs parallel to the line of the San Andreas Fault , which can be clearly seen because the ground drops several feet . An unpaved portion of the original El Camino Real has been preserved just east of Mission San Juan Bautista in San Juan Bautista , California . Today the route through San Mateo and Santa Clara counties is designated as State Route 82 , and some stretches of it are named El Camino Real . The old road is part of the de Anza route , located a few miles east of Route 101 . Note that the official California El Camino Real route misses most of the original 21 missions . While driving along the official `` commemorative route '' of the Camino Real , the most visible Mission today would probably be the Mission San Miguel , located in the unincorporated village of San Miguel , just off Highway 101 on the Salinas River . Historic designations ( edit ) El Camino Real is designated as California Historical Landmark # 784 . There are two state historical markers honoring the road : one located near Mission San Diego de Alcalá in San Diego and the other one near Mission San Francisco de Asís in San Francisco .

The Price Is Right (1956 U.S. game show)
The Price Is Right ( 1956 U.S. game show ) - wikipedia The Price Is Right ( 1956 U.S. game show ) Jump to : navigation , search The Price Is Right ( 1956 ) Created by Bob Stewart Directed by Paul Alter Max Miller Presented by Bill Cullen Narrated by Don Pardo ( 1956 -- 1963 ) Johnny Gilbert ( 1963 -- 1965 ) Country of origin United States Original language ( s ) English No. of episodes 2,263 Production Running time 30 minutes Production company ( s ) Mark Goodson - Bill Todman Productions Release Original network NBC ( 1956 -- 1963 ) ABC ( 1963 -- 1965 ) Picture format Black & White ( Daytime 1956 -- 1959 , 1963 -- 1965 ; Nighttime 1963 -- 1964 ) Color ( Nighttime 1957 -- 1963 ; Daytime 1959 -- 1963 ) Audio format Mono Original release November 26 , 1956 ( 1956 - 11 - 26 ) -- September 3 , 1965 ( 1965 - 09 - 03 ) Chronology Followed by The Price Is Right ( 1972 version ) ( 1972 -- present ) The Price Is Right is an American game show where contestants made successive bids on merchandise prizes with the goal of bidding closest to the actual retail price of the prize without going over . The show was a precursor to the current and best - known version of the show , which premiered in 1972 on CBS ' daytime schedule . This makes The Price Is Right one of only a few game shows that have aired in some form across all three of what were then the Big Three television networks . The series premiered on NBC 's daytime schedule on November 26 , 1956 , and quickly spawned a primetime series that aired once a week . Bill Cullen hosted both versions of the show ; his easygoing personality was cited as a key element of the show 's success . The Price Is Right became one of the few game shows to survive the rigging scandal of the late 1950s , and gained even more popularity after other game shows exposed for being rigged had been cancelled . In 1963 , The Price Is Right switched networks and both the daytime and primetime series moved to ABC . On September 3 , 1965 , the show aired its final episode after nearly nine years on the air .

On the original version of The Price Is Right , four contestants -- one a returning champion , the other three chosen from the studio audience -- bid on items or ensembles of items in an auction - style format . A prize was presented for the contestants to bid on . A minimum bid was specified . After the opening bid , contestants bid on the item in turn with each successive bid a certain amount higher than the previous bid . A contestant could freeze his / her current bid instead of increasing it if he / she believed his / her bid was close enough to win . A later rule allowed contestants , on their opening bid only , to `` underbid '' the other bids , but this automatically froze their bid and prevented them from later increasing the original bid . Some rounds were designated as one - bid rounds , where only one round of bidding was held ( this is the format used on the current version of The Price is Right ) ; sometimes the minimum - bid and higher - bid threshold rules also were waived . The bidding continued until a buzzer sounded , at which point each contestant who had not yet `` frozen '' was given one final bid . Bidding also ended when three of the contestants had frozen , at which point the fourth contestant was allowed one final bid , unless he / she already had the high bid . Cullen then read the actual retail price of the prize . The contestant whose bid was closest without going over the actual price won the item . If everyone overbid , the prize was not won ; however , Cullen sometimes had the overbids erased and instructed players to give lower bids prior to reading the actual price ( similar to what is done on the current CBS version and its syndicated spinoffs ) . Frequently , a bell rang after the winner was revealed , indicating a bonus prize accompanied the item up for bids . While this was typically an additional prize , a bonus game often accompanied the prize ( e.g. a tune - matching game , where a clip of a well - known song was played and the contestant matched it with a face for a cash bonus ) . After a set number of rounds ( four on the nighttime version , six on the daytime ) , the contestant who accumulated the highest value in cash and prizes became the champion and returned on the next show . Home viewer Showcases ( edit ) The Price Is Right frequently featured a home viewer `` Showcase '' , a multi-prize package for which home viewers were invited to submit their bids via postcard . The viewer who was closest to the actual retail price without going over won everything in the Showcase , but one item was sometimes handmade so the viewer could not check the price of all the items . The term `` showcase '' was later replaced by `` sweepstakes '' . Very often , home viewers were stunningly accurate with their bids , including several viewers who guessed the price correct down to the penny . In such a case , the tied contestants were informed and asked to give the price of a specific item ; this continued until one of the contestants broke the tie ( re-ties and all - overbids were thrown out . ) The Home Viewer Showcase was reformatted as the final round of the current CBS version . The two Showcase Showdown ( since 1975 ; before then , and on the 1970s and 1980s syndicated shows , the top two overall winners automatically advanced to the Showcase round ) winners on the current version 's show compete to bid on separate showcases of prizes , with the contestant who bids closer ( without going over ) to the actual retail price of his / her own showcase winning the prizes contained within . Home Viewer Showcases have also been featured on the CBS version , in 1972 , 1978 , annually from 1980 -- 1987 , 1990 , and in 2011 . Its format was unchanged through 1990 , but the 2011 version , because of the advance in technology , changed to a ten - prizes - in - a-week format , with two prizes appearing per episode during the week . Each day the price of one of the prizes was revealed to the home audience , and the price of the second prize ( which was in either of the two Showcases ) was not provided . Instead of postcards , the bids had to be submitted through the show 's website . Prizes ( edit ) While many of the prizes on the original Price Is Right were normal , standard game show fare ( e.g. , furniture , appliances , home electronics , furs , trips , and cars ) , there were many instances of outlandish prizes being offered . This was particularly true of the nighttime version , which had a larger prize budget . Some examples : A 1926 Rolls - Royce with chauffeur A Ferris wheel Shares of corporate stock An island in the St. Lawrence Seaway An airplane A submarine Sometimes , large amounts of food -- such as a mile of hot dogs along with buns and enough condiments ( perhaps to go with a barbecue pit ) -- were offered as the bonus . Some other examples of outlandish or `` exceptionally unique '' bonus prizes : Accompanying a color TV , a live peacock ( a play on the NBC logo ) to serve as a `` color guide '' . Accompanying a barbecue pit and the usual accessories , a live Angus steer . Accompanying a prize package of items needed to throw a backyard party , big band legend Woody Herman and His Orchestra . Accompanying a raccoon coat worth $29.95 , a sable coat valued at $23,000 . A bonus prize of a 16'x32 ' in - ground swimming pool , installed in the winner 's back yard in one day 's time . A bonus prize of a trip to Israel to appear as an extra in the 1960 film Exodus . In the early 1960s , the dynamic of the national economy was such that the nighttime show could offer homes in new subdivisions ( sometimes fully furnished ) as prizes , often with suspenseful bidding among the contestants . In the last two seasons of the nighttime run , the series gave away small business franchises . In some events , the outlandish prizes were merely for show ; for instance , in one episode contestants would bid on the original retail price for a 1920s car , but would instead win a more contemporary model . History ( edit ) The Price Is Right was created and produced by Bob Stewart for Mark Goodson -- Bill Todman Productions . Stewart already had created one hit series for Goodson - Todman , To Tell the Truth and he would later create the enormously successful Password . In 1964 , Stewart left Goodson - Todman to strike out on his own as a producer . ( Frank Wayne , who later produced the Barker version of The Price Is Right , took over Stewart 's Password spot . ) Bob Stewart attributes the creation of The Price Is Right to watching an auctioneer from his office window in New York City , auctioning off various merchandise items . In 1959 , shortly after the quiz show scandal broke , most game and quiz shows lost their popularity rapidly and were cancelled . The Price Is Right was an exception ; Goodson and Todman had built a squeaky - clean reputation upon relatively low - stakes games . Thus , as the more popular competition was eliminated , The Price Is Right became the most - watched game show in the country , and remained so for two years . ABC ( edit ) When the series moved to ABC in 1963 , three studio contestants -- including the returning champion -- played . The fourth chair was filled by a celebrity who played for either a studio audience member or a home viewer . If the celebrity was the big winner of the show , the civilian contestant who had the most winnings was considered the champion ; it is unknown what would have happened in the event of a shut - out with the celebrity winning . As Don Pardo was still under contract at NBC , he was replaced by Johnny Gilbert , who currently serves as the announcer for Jeopardy !. Coincidently , Pardo would announce on the original Jeopardy ! for 11 years . When the show moved to ABC , several CBS affiliates took up ABC secondary affiliation to show The Price Is Right ( especially if its market lacked full ABC affiliation ) , in part because of the still - high ratings the show enjoyed in daytime . Goodson - Todman wanted The Price Is Right to be ABC 's first non-cartoon color show , but the network could not afford to convert to color . This meant that the nighttime version reverted to black - and - white . Afterward ( edit ) After the success of The Price Is Right , To Tell the Truth , and Password , producer Stewart left Goodson - Todman in 1964 . Stewart 's follow - up to The Price Is Right , his first independent production , was Eye Guess , a sight - and - memory game with Bill Cullen as host . Later , Stewart created other successful shows such as Jackpot ! and The $10,000 Pyramid . In the early 1970s , Mark Goodson was preparing a revised version of The Price Is Right for syndication and CBS daytime dubbed The New Price Is Right , which incorporated elements of the Cullen version with new mini-games influenced by Let 's Make a Deal ( known as pricing games , since these games required pricing various products ) . Dennis James , who was a regular substitute for Monty Hall on Deal , was selected to host both versions of the reincarnated show ; however , he hosted only the syndicated version as CBS insisted that Bob Barker , then still hosting Truth or Consequences , host the daytime show . While the syndicated version lasted only until 1980 ( Barker replaced James on the syndicated version in 1977 ) , the daytime version has been on the air five days per week since 1972 , with Drew Carey replacing Barker in 2007 . Two more syndicated versions would air during the 1985 - 86 and 1994 - 95 seasons ( with the latter show being known as The New Price is Right ) , hosted by Tom Kennedy and Doug Davidson , respectively . Paul Alter , who directed the original version of the show , became the director of the current version in 1986 , replacing Marc Breslow , who had been in that role since its start in 1972 , and would continue to hold the position until 2000 . Origin ( edit ) The show originated from the Hudson Theatre in New York City , converted for television . A year later it used NBC 's Colonial Theater at 66th and Broadway as its main origination . The Ziegfeld Theater was used for a few shows as well . When the show moved to ABC , the Ritz Theater became the show 's broadcast origination . In addition to his hosting duties on The Price Is Right and his weekly appearances as a panelist on I 've Got a Secret , Cullen also hosted a popular weekday morning radio show for WNBC in New York . Substitute hosts ( edit ) This section possibly contains original research . Please improve it by verifying the claims made and adding inline citations . Statements consisting only of original research should be removed . ( July 2010 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Over the nine - year run , various people sat in Cullen 's place while he was on vacation . Sonny Fox ( June 10 , 1957 ; first substitute host ; he was also Bud Collyer 's `` designated '' substitute host on Beat the Clock through 1960 ; it went off the air at the end of January , 1961 ) Sam Levenson ( March 11 , 1958 - for 2 weeks ) Merv Griffin ( August 5 & 12 , 1959 nighttime ) - also filled in daytime during those two weeks Jack Narz ( month of May , 1960 ; Bill 's brother - in - law , later that year he began hosting Video Village ; his brother Tom Kennedy later hosted a syndicated version of the 1972 The Price Is Right revival during the 1985 - 86 season . ) Arlene Francis ( February 1 , 1961 nighttime ; at this point , she was a rare occurrence of a woman hosting a game show ) Don Pardo ( December 31 , 1959 / December 28 , 1962 ) Robert Q. Lewis ( December 27 , 1963 ( Cullen himself was the celebrity guest ) ) Jack Clark ( March 12 , 1965 , Dorothy Lamour was the celebrity guest ) Johnny Gilbert ( June 19 , 1964 ; Ed Jordan filled in as announcer ) Models ( edit ) Throughout the nine - year run of The Price Is Right , the show also employed models , whose duties were similar to those of the models in the current version . June Ferguson and Toni Wallace were the regular models , while Gail Sheldon also made frequent appearances . Ferguson , Wallace and Sheldon were featured during the show 's entire nine - year run . Other models appearing included Beverly Bentley and Carolyn Stroupe ; various other models either assisted Ferguson and Wallace , or appeared during their absences . Announcers ( edit ) During the NBC run , Don Pardo was the main announcer . Whenever he was off , or filling in for Cullen as host , substitute announcers included Dick Dudley , Vic Roby , and Roger Tuttle . Following the move to ABC ( due to Don Pardo was under contract to NBC ) , Johnny Gilbert became the announcer ; one fill - in was ABC staff announcer Ed Jordan . Theme songs ( edit ) The first theme song ( used from 1956 -- 1961 ) was an arrangement of Charles Strouse 's `` Sixth Finger Tune '' , originally written for Milton Scott Michel 's 1956 play Sixth Finger in a Five Finger Glove . The second theme song ( used from 1961 -- 1965 ) was called `` Window Shopping '' and was composed by Bob Cobert . This theme was later used on another Goodson - Todman game , Snap Judgment , and later found its way back to Bob Stewart 's stable with the short - lived game You 're Putting Me On . Episode status ( edit ) Although The Price Is Right became Goodson - Todman 's first regularly aired game show to be broadcast in color on September 23 , 1957 , no color kinescopes or videotapes are known to exist from the nighttime run . Many monochrome NBC nighttime episodes ( plus at least one ABC episode ) aired on Game Show Network from 1996 -- 2000 , at which time the network 's contract to air the show ended ; it has not been renewed since . Most of the daytime run is believed to be wiped ; the UCLA Film and Television Archive lists the first and third episodes from 1956 among its holdings . A few NBC daytime episodes with commercials intact , originally broadcast in the late spring / early summer of 1957 , have been around the `` collector 's circuit . '' They are now available for viewing on YouTube . DVD release ( edit ) Four episodes , including the 1964 nighttime finale , were released on `` The Best of The Price is Right '' DVD set ( March 25 , 2008 ) . Despite pre-release assumptions that each of the four unique runs would be represented , as it was announced that there would be four Cullen episodes , none were of the ABC daytime run despite the existence of episodes from that era ; a second NBC prime time episode instead filled that slot . Many noticed that the four Cullen episodes lacked commercials , as well as the fact that all three NBC episodes had already been spotted prior to the DVD release . Both NBC prime time episodes ( January 13 and 27 , 1960 ) had aired on GSN before , while the daytime episode ( February 21 , 1957 ) had been available in the public domain for several years ; the daytime episode is notable for not only missing its opening , but for Cullen promoting Charles Van Doren 's match against Vivienne Nearing on Twenty One -- which eventually led to Van Doren 's defeat . The Fremantle logo animation was added after each episode , as the production company currently owns all Mark Goodson properties . The episode listing included with the DVD set states the daytime episode aired March 10 , 1957 and the ABC episode aired September 4 , 1964 ( with guest Jose Ferrer ) ; however , the former actually aired on February 21 , 1957 and the latter is not actually present on the DVD set but had been aired by GSN . The 1964 finale featured Pat Carroll as the celebrity player , and the night 's champion was invited back to appear on the following Monday 's daytime episode . Popular culture ( edit ) In The Flintstones season 2 episode `` Divided We Sail '' , Barney is invited to be a contestant on `` The Prize is Priced '' , a parody of The Price is Right .

The Giants defeated the Patriots by the score of 17 -- 14 . The game was played on Sunday , February 3 , 2008 , at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale , Arizona . The game is regarded as one of the biggest upsets in the history of professional sports , as well as one of the finest Super Bowl games . The Patriots entered the game as 12 - point favorites after becoming the first team to complete a perfect regular season since the 1972 Miami Dolphins , and the only one since the league expanded to a 16 - game regular season schedule in 1978 . The Giants , who finished the regular season with a 10 -- 6 record , were seeking to become the first NFC wild card team to win a Super Bowl , and were also looking for their third Super Bowl victory and first since they won Super Bowl XXV seventeen years earlier . This Super Bowl was also a rematch of the final game of the regular season , in which New England won , 38 -- 35 . The game is best remembered for the Giants ' fourth - quarter game - winning drive . Down 14 -- 10 , New York got the ball on their own 17 - yard line with 2 : 39 left and marched 83 yards down the field . In the drive 's most memorable play , David Tyree made a leaping one - handed catch pinning the football with his right hand to the crown of his helmet for a 32 - yard gain . Wide receiver Plaxico Burress then scored the winning touchdown on a 13 - yard reception with 35 seconds remaining . The game was tight throughout . Only 10 total points were scored in the first three quarters . The Giants consumed a Super Bowl record 9 minutes and 59 seconds on their opening drive , but could only manage a field goal . The Patriots then responded with running back Laurence Maroney 's 1 - yard touchdown run on the first play of the second quarter . After a scoreless third quarter , the fourth quarter saw a Super Bowl record three lead changes , including New England wide receiver Randy Moss making a 6 - yard touchdown reception with 2 : 42 left to play before New York 's game - winning drive . Giants quarterback Eli Manning , who completed 19 of 34 passes for 255 yards and two touchdowns , with one interception , was named Super Bowl MVP . Giants defensive end Michael Strahan , who retired following the victory , had two tackles and one sack . This game was the first since Super Bowl IX ( a 16 - 6 Steelers win over the Vikings ) that neither team scored at least 20 points . The telecast of the game on Fox broke the then - record for the most watched Super Bowl in history with an average of 97.5 million viewers in the United States .

In this case , the process drew special interest because the league considered holding Super Bowl XLII in New York City or Washington , D.C. as a symbol of the recovery from the September 11 attacks . New York City 's bid did not go far . Aside from the obvious climatic concerns , it was also difficult to find a suitable stadium . Proposed renovations to the 1970s - vintage Giants Stadium were still being disputed amongst the various parties . Giants Stadium also lacked a roof , as did both of New York City 's baseball stadiums , and the NFL had never played an outdoor Super Bowl in a cold weather climate . The city of New York and the New York Jets failed to secure a deal to build a new West Side Stadium ( which , according to the initial plans , would have been built with a roof ) . During the years since the Super Bowl XLII bid fell through , Giants Stadium has been demolished . Its replacement , MetLife Stadium , was awarded Super Bowl XLVIII . Washington , D.C. 's bid proved to be more viable as the D.C. area had a relatively new ( albeit roofless ) stadium in FedExField . DC 's winter weather , although still potentially problematic , is milder than New York 's climate . In the end , the process boiled down to three finalists : Washington , D.C. , Phoenix and Tampa . NFL owners finally chose University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale , Arizona as the site for Super Bowl XLII during their October 30 , 2003 meeting in Chicago . In subsequent years , Raymond James Stadium in Tampa was chosen as the site for Super Bowl XLIII and the West Side Stadium was briefly designated as the venue for Super Bowl XLIV . However , this game was later moved to Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens , Florida , when it became clear that the new stadium in New York City would not be built in time for the February 2010 game . Venue ( edit ) University of Phoenix Stadium during Super Bowl XLII game day February 3 , 2008 . The kickoff for the game took place at 4 : 32 p.m. MST ( 23 : 32 UTC ) . This was the first Super Bowl played on a retractable natural - grass field surface ; the University of Phoenix Stadium 's removable surface is unique among American sports venues . Super Bowl XLII was also the second Super Bowl played in a retractable - roof stadium ( the first was played at Reliant Stadium in Houston for Super Bowl XXXVIII ) . During the regular season , the home team decides 90 minutes before kickoff whether the roof will be open or closed , and an open roof must remain open unless weather conditions get worse . However , as a neutral site , the NFL controls the option to open or close without any restrictions . The first time this was employed was in Super Bowl XXXVIII at Reliant Stadium ; the roof was open for pregame and halftime shows and closed during the game . Because there was rain in the forecast for Super Bowl XLII , the roof was closed for the entire day 's activities . During a February 6 , 2007 ceremony with Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano , the NFL and the Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee unveiled the slogan `` Who Wants It More ? '' along with its mascot `` Spike the Super Ball '' ( an anthropomorphized football with sunglasses and sneakers ) and a large `` Super Bowl XLII Countdown Clock '' at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport . The Super Bowl XLII logo was also unveiled . It features the shape of the state of Arizona in red and two horizontal white stripes in the middle to represent the vertical lines on University of Phoenix Stadium . The turquoise Roman numerals represent the Native American culture of Arizona . The red star represents the AFC and the blue star represents the NFC . This was also the last Super Bowl with the league 's previous logo painted at midfield ; the following season , the league redesigned its primary logo . Teams ( edit ) New York Giants ( edit ) For more details on this topic , see 2007 New York Giants season . The New York Giants began the season with low expectations after star running back Tiki Barber retired . The Giants had lost in the NFC Wild Card round in each of the previous two seasons and had not won a playoff game in seven years . Quarterback Eli Manning , the younger brother of Super Bowl XLI MVP quarterback Peyton Manning , had struggled to find consistency . In his three seasons as a starter , he had completed less than 54 % of his passes with a career passer rating of 73.4 . While generally regarded as a solid quarterback , Manning had been unable to achieve the same level of success as fellow 2004 draftees Philip Rivers ( for whom he was traded ) and Ben Roethlisberger , the latter of whom had already won a Super Bowl ( Super Bowl XL ) . By the 2007 season , many sports writers were starting to question if Eli would ever live up to the expectations that accompanied being selected with the first overall pick in a draft . The criticism of Manning intensified as the Giants lost the first two games of the regular season . The Giants recovered , though , notching six consecutive wins and finishing the year with a 10 -- 6 record . The Giants were able to secure a wild card bid in the playoffs , despite the loss of running back Derrick Ward , defensive end Mathias Kiwanuka , and four - time Pro Bowl tight end Jeremy Shockey to injury . In the final game of the regular season , the Giants played at home against the undefeated New England Patriots . Although the Giants had already earned a playoff spot and had nothing to gain by winning the game , coach Tom Coughlin decided to play his starters throughout the game . New York , clearly playing to win against the league 's best team , narrowly lost 38 -- 35 . But the effort seemed to rejuvenate the Giants and prepare them for a difficult playoff run . Manning led his team to three road playoff wins in Tampa , Dallas and Green Bay respectively , without throwing a single interception . The Giants ' three playoff wins gave them an NFL record 10 consecutive wins on the road . They finished the season with a franchise - low 77 penalties , after setting a franchise record two years before with 146 . Manning finished the 2007 season with 3,336 yards , 23 touchdowns , and 20 interceptions . His primary target , Plaxico Burress , caught 70 passes for 1,050 yards and 12 touchdowns . Amani Toomer , the Giants all - time leading receiver and one of only two players remaining from their last Super Bowl appearance in Super Bowl XXXV , was also a reliable target with 59 receptions for 760 yards , while Shockey contributed 57 receptions for 619 yards and 3 touchdowns before suffering a season - ending injury in week 15 . The Giants ' ground game was led by running back Brandon Jacobs , who at 6'4 '' ( 193 cm ) and 264 pounds ( 118 kg ) , was one of the largest starting halfbacks in the NFL . He finished the season with 1,009 yards and an average of five yards per carry , while also catching 23 passes despite starting only nine games . The Giants had a defensive line that was led by defensive ends Osi Umenyiora ( the lone Pro Bowl representative on the team , the fewest a Super Bowl team has ever had ) , Michael Strahan , and Justin Tuck . Umenyiora led the defense with 13 sacks and five forced fumbles . Strahan , another veteran from the Giants ' last Super Bowl appearance in 2000 , had nine sacks , giving him a career total of 141.5 and breaking the franchise record held by Lawrence Taylor . Tuck recorded ten sacks and 48 solo tackles . In the secondary , cornerback Sam Madison and safety Gibril Wilson led the team with four interceptions each . Cornerback R.W. McQuarters had no interceptions during the season , but played effectively in the playoffs , with interceptions in each of the Giants first three postseason games . Punter Jeff Feagles played in his first Super Bowl after 20 years in the NFL . This was also the last game for Giants athletic trainer John Johnson who had been with the team for 60 years . Strahan and Toomer were the only Giants remaining from the franchise 's last Super Bowl appearance in Super Bowl XXXV . The Giants became only the fourth team to win the Super Bowl without playing a single home game in the preceding playoffs . They joined the Green Bay Packers ( who won Super Bowl I against the Kansas City Chiefs ) , the Kansas City Chiefs ( who won Super Bowl IV against the Minnesota Vikings ) and the Pittsburgh Steelers ( who won Super Bowl XL against the Seattle Seahawks ) in accomplishing this feat . However , Green Bay had to win two games , Kansas City three , and Pittsburgh and the Giants , four , in order to accomplish this . Since , the Green Bay Packers accomplished it in 2010 by winning three road playoff games en route to their Super Bowl XLV victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers . However , the Packers accomplished this feat as a sixth seed , while the Giants accomplished this as a fifth seed . In addition , Green Bay beat the top three - seeded teams on the road , while New York defeated the fourth , first , and second seeds on the road . The Giants were the only NFC team to make multiple Super Bowl appearances in the 2000s decade . Starting with the Rams ' appearance in 2001 , nine different NFC teams represented the conference in the last nine seasons of the decade ( Rams , Buccaneers , Panthers , Eagles , Seahawks , Bears , Giants , Cardinals , Saints , Packers and Giants ) . New England Patriots ( edit ) For more details on this topic , see 2007 New England Patriots season . When the New England Patriots arrived at Super Bowl XLII , they were already billed as the greatest team in NFL history . The Patriots were not only competing for a fourth Super Bowl title since the 2001 season ; they were aiming to become the first team in NFL history to achieve a 19 -- 0 record . Their perfect 16 -- 0 record in the regular season was the first since the league moved to a 16 game regular season in 1978 . It was also only the fourth undefeated and untied regular season in NFL history . New England set NFL records with 589 points scored ( an average of 36.8 points per game ) ( since broken by the 2013 Broncos ) , 75 total touchdowns , and a net differential of + 315 points ( they gave up 274 points , fourth best in the league ) . Some experts have suggested that the Patriots ' 16 -- 0 record is the culmination of a larger trend towards better records for top NFL teams since the league realignment in 2002 . The team was led by quarterback Tom Brady who won his first NFL MVP & NFL Offensive MVP award , throwing for a career - high 4,806 yards and a then NFL record 50 touchdowns ( 22 more than his previous best season ; since broken by Peyton Manning in 2013 ) , and just eight interceptions . His passer rating of 117.2 was the second - highest season rating in NFL history . One often - cited reason for Brady 's improved numbers was the acquisition of receivers Randy Moss and Wes Welker . The Patriots acquired Moss , a nine - year veteran , from the Oakland Raiders for a fourth - round pick in the 2007 NFL Draft after Moss had , statistically , the worst year of his career ( with 42 receptions for 553 yards and three touchdowns ) . With the Patriots , though , Moss caught 98 receptions for 1,493 yards and an NFL record 23 touchdowns , and was selected a first - team All Pro . The Patriots also gave the Miami Dolphins second - and seventh - round picks for Welker ; Welker tied for the league lead with 112 receptions for 1,175 yards and 8 touchdowns and was named a second - team All Pro . Welker and Moss both earned votes for Offensive Player of the Year . Other major contributors to the Patriots ' passing game included Donté Stallworth , who added 697 yards and three touchdowns , and tight end Benjamin Watson , whose 36 receptions totaled 389 yards and six touchdowns . Running back Laurence Maroney was the Patriots ' top rusher with 835 yards and six touchdowns , while Sammy Morris added 385 yards and three touchdowns ( Morris ended up on injured reserve midway through the season , and thus could not play in the Super Bowl ) . Longtime Patriot Kevin Faulk had 265 yards and was also a reliable receiver out of the backfield , catching 47 passes for 383 yards and a touchdown . The Patriots offensive line featured three players selected to the Pro Bowl , guard Logan Mankins , tackle Matt Light , and center Dan Koppen . The Patriots defensive line was led by nose tackle Vince Wilfork , who was selected to his first Pro Bowl ; he was also fined four times during the season for unnecessary roughness . The Patriots had a set of veteran linebackers who had a combined 16 Pro Bowl selections . Outside linebacker Mike Vrabel had , statistically , the best season of his career . He led the team in sacks with a career - high 12.5 , while also forcing five fumbles and earning his first Pro Bowl selection . Adalius Thomas , an off - season signing from the Ravens , recorded six sacks . Junior Seau , who had been selected to the Pro Bowl 12 times during his career but had never won a Super Bowl , returned for his 18th season and got 74 tackles with 3.5 sacks . Tedy Bruschi recorded 92 tackles and two sacks . The Patriots secondary featured another player selected to the Pro Bowl , cornerback Asante Samuel , who led the team with six interceptions . Playoffs ( edit ) Main article : 2007 -- 08 NFL playoffs The Patriots continued to set NFL records on their road to the Super Bowl . First , Brady set the NFL record for completion percentage in a single game ( 92.9 % ) with 26 of 28 completions for 268 yards and three touchdowns in their 31 -- 20 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in the divisional round , while safety Rodney Harrison tied an NFL record by recording an interception in his fourth consecutive postseason game . One week later , the Patriots defeated the San Diego Chargers 21 -- 12 . Although Brady threw three interceptions in the game , the Patriots defense forced two turnovers and limited San Diego to four field goals , while Maroney rushed for 122 yards and a touchdown for the second game in a row . Meanwhile , the Giants became the first NFC team ( third overall ) to advance to the Super Bowl by winning three playoff games on the road . After beating the fourth - seeded Tampa Bay Buccaneers 24 -- 14 , the Giants upset the top - seeded Dallas Cowboys 21 -- 17 when McQuarters intercepted a pass from Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo in the end zone as time expired . New York advanced to the Super Bowl with a 23 -- 20 overtime win over the second - seeded Green Bay Packers in the third coldest game in NFL history ( − 1 ° F at kickoff , − 24 ° F wind chill ) with an interception by Corey Webster that set up Lawrence Tynes 's game - winning 47 - yard field goal . The field goal was the longest by a visiting kicker in Lambeau Field postseason history . This turned out to be the final game Brett Favre played for the Packers . Pre-game notes ( edit ) See also : 2007 New England Patriots -- New York Giants game New England was heavily favored to win the game and become the first NFL team to go through a 16 - game regular season and postseason undefeated . Had the Patriots won , they would also have joined the 1972 Miami Dolphins as the only teams ever to win the NFL league championship with an undefeated and untied record . However , others predicted that the Giants could accomplish a win . New York 's record of 10 consecutive road wins included five teams favored to beat them . The Giants achieved playoff victories against the Cowboys ( who had defeated New York twice in the regular season ) and Packers ( who had beaten the Giants in week 2 ) . The Patriots and Giants had played against each other in the last week of the regular season . Technically , the game had little significance , since both teams had already clinched their respective spots in the playoffs . But due to the Patriots ' quest for an undefeated season , this game was one of the most heavily watched games in league history . NFL Network was originally scheduled to air the game as part of their Saturday Night Football coverage , with WCVB and WWOR carrying the game locally in Boston and New York . Shortly before the game was scheduled to air CBS and NBC bought broadcast rights to the game and NFL Network 's broadcast was carried by both networks , marking the first time in NFL history that an NFL game was carried on three broadcast networks at the same time . The game was also the first NFL game to be simulcast on a national level since Super Bowl I. As they were favored to do , the Patriots won the game to finish the regular season undefeated . Still , the game was close and competitive , with both teams playing their starters for all 60 minutes . New England won , 38 -- 35 , by overcoming a 12 - point deficit in the third quarter , the largest deficit the Patriots had faced all season . `` There is nothing but positives '' , Giants coach Tom Coughlin said after the game . `` I told the players in playing this game everything would be positives , there would be no negatives and that is how I feel . I do n't know any better way to be prepared for the playoffs than to go against a team that was 15 -- 0 . '' This would be the third time in the Giants ' four Super Bowl appearances in which the team played its eventual AFC opponent during that year 's regular season . Both of the prior occasions saw the Giants beat said opponents in the Super Bowl ( defeating Denver in Super Bowl XXI and Buffalo in Super Bowl XXV ) . For the third consecutive year , the arrival dates for the teams were staggered , with the Patriots arriving on Sunday , January 27 ( corresponding to the traditional day that teams arrive for the game with the two - week break ) and the Giants waiting to arrive until Monday , January 28 . A report filed by ESPN 's Rachel Nichols suggested that the Giants stayed to practice more of their game plan in their home facility before arriving at the Super Bowl . By electing to stay back at home the Giants chose to follow a tactic that the previous two Super Bowl champions , the Indianapolis Colts ( before Super Bowl XLI ) and the Pittsburgh Steelers ( before Super Bowl XL ) , had employed . The Patriots practiced at Sun Devil Stadium on the campus of Arizona State University , while the Giants practiced at the Arizona Cardinals ' practice facility , both of which are located in Tempe . Broadcasting ( edit ) Television ( edit ) United States ( edit ) The game was telecast in the United States on the Fox network in 720p high definition resolution . Joe Buck and Troy Aikman called the game , while Pam Oliver ( Giants ) and Chris Myers ( Patriots ) were the sideline reporters . This Super Bowl featured nine hours of game - related coverage prior to kickoff on game day . Fox News started the coverage on the Fox network at 9 : 00 a.m. ET . Official pre-game coverage began at 2 : 00 p.m. ET , and was handled by the Fox NFL Sunday pregame show team led by Curt Menefee , joined by Terry Bradshaw , Howie Long , and Jimmy Johnson . Jillian Reynolds served as Weather and Entertainment Reporter for the pre-game show . Additionally , Frank Caliendo appeared in various comedic skits and Ryan Seacrest provided coverage of celebrity arrivals to the game site . This was the first Fox Super Bowl not to be hosted by James Brown , who had returned to CBS after the 2005 season . The official game broadcast began at 6 : 00 p.m. ET , with kickoff at 6 : 32 PM EST . NFL Network provided extensive post-game coverage . The Giants became the fifth team to win Super Bowls on three different networks ( CBS - XXI , ABC -- XXV and Fox ) . Super Bowl XLII was the Fox network 's fifth televised Super Bowl . Four of those five games had featured the Patriots . New England participated in Fox - televised Super Bowls XXXI , XXXVI , XXXIX and XLII . The only Fox Super Bowl up to that time that did not include the Patriots was Super Bowl XXXIII . New England 's Super Bowl XXXVIII victory four years earlier was carried on CBS . The telecast was the most watched Super Bowl in history with an average of 97.5 million viewers in the United States . These numbers were later surpassed by Super Bowl XLIII , Super Bowl XLIV and Super Bowl XLV , which now holds the record with an average of 111 million viewers , and 148.3 million total viewers watching some part of the game . The Super Bowl XLII broadcast achieved the highest Nielsen ratings ( 43.3 ) for the game since Super Bowl XXXIV . It was also the second ( now fifth ) most watched TV program of all time in the United States . The game was later featured as one of the NFL 's Greatest Games under the title Not Quite Perfect . In the teams ' local markets , the game was also broadcast by Fox stations in the New York City and Boston markets , WNYW - TV 5 in New York City and WFXT - TV 25 in Boston . Following the game , Fox aired a special episode of House entitled `` Frozen '' ; however , the episode 's premiere was delayed in the New York metropolitan area by an hour due to a local newscast . Commercials ( edit ) The scheduled date for Super Bowl XLII was two days before Super Tuesday ( Tuesday , February 5 ) , the date in which 24 states held their presidential primaries , state conventions or caucuses . As such , some presidential hopefuls had considered purchasing Super Bowl ads . An adviser to Republican presidential candidate John McCain said that the football audience is `` a very ripe and timely target . '' However , Fox Television nixed the prospect of any political ads , citing equal time regulations and the fact that the ad space had already sold out before any candidates had asked for it . Instead , candidates purchased advertising time before or after the game or in two dozen local markets . For this game Fox pulled in $250 million in revenue from the ads . One of sixty - three thirty - second spots among thirty - seven different advertisers cost an estimated $2.7 million ( excluding production costs ) , up from $2.6 million in 2007 . However , advertisers are usually offered discounted rates below the official one . Cars.com , which had yet to buy a Super Bowl Ad , made an early announcement that it would purchase two spots . Five automobile companies advertised during Super Bowl XLII : Audi , General Motors , Hyundai , Nissan , and Toyota . Audi took the opportunity to pay homage to the decapitated horse 's head scene from The Godfather using the front of a Rolls - Royce , while Hyundai , initially hesitant to air their spots , eventually gave the green light to their first Super Bowl commercials since 1989 . Throughout the NFL and United Way 's history , the two organizations have aired commercials highlighting how they work together bettering communities around the US . This year the United Way launched a youth fitness campaign through mobile donations with a 10 - second spot running during the first half of the Super Bowl . The campaign asked viewers to donate $5 by texting `` FIT '' to ' UNITED ' ( 864833 ) . The commercial featured the voice of Tom Brady , and was the first national text message donating campaign to launch from mGive and Mobile Accord . Following up on its Super Bowl XLI ad , which was one of several fan - created ads that year , the Doritos brand used its spot to air a brief performance by Kina Grannis , winner of an online contest that included a recording contract with Interscope Records . Other ads that aired were : Under Armour 's new `` Prototype '' cross-training shoe ; Vitamin Water 's new G2 low - calorie sports drink featuring Derek Jeter , Peyton Manning , and Bill Parcells ; Victoria 's Secret ; and Salesgenie.com . All but the G2 ad were done in - house . They joined Super Bowl regulars such as Pepsi - Cola , which featured Justin Timberlake in his continuing rebound from the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show controversy four years earlier , being dragged through all sorts of situations to promote a rewards program started by Pepsi , a Diet Pepsi Max commercial inspired by the Saturday Night Live `` Roxbury '' skits ( including the iconic sketch theme `` What Is Love ? '' by Haddaway and a cameo by Chris Kattan telling them to `` stop it '' ) and a SoBe Life Water spot featuring Naomi Campbell and 30 CGI lizards performing the Michael Jackson Thriller dance . Other returnees included GoDaddy.com ( with World Wrestling Entertainment diva and spokesperson Candice Michelle along with IndyCar driver Danica Patrick ) ; Coca - Cola spoofing balloons in the Macy 's Thanksgiving Day Parade ( including a fictional Stewie Griffin balloon ; the commercial , titled `` It 's Mine '' won a Cannes Advertising Award and was also nominated for an Emmy Award as Best Animated Commercial plus a snippet of the ad appeared in an actual Macy 's commercial celebrating their 150th Anniversary that premiered during the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards in September ) , as well as its Glacéau Vitaminwater brand featuring Shaquille O'Neal as a jockey ; CareerBuilder.com ; Planters with an Ugly Betty inspired female using their cashews as a sexually arousing perfume ; and seven major Hollywood movie studios promoting blockbuster releases . The winners of the 20th annual USA Today Super Bowl Ad Meter were : Anheuser - Busch 's Budweiser brand , featuring a tribute to the Oscar - winning Best Picture Rocky : a Clydesdale who narrowly missed the team that pulls the beer 's iconic wagon is inspired by a personal trainer -- the wagon 's dalmatian . A CGI FedEx ad featuring gigantic carrier pigeons gone wrong . Another computer animated ad from tire manufacturer Bridgestone , with a collection of computer generated screaming animals in a forest as an oncoming car approached a squirrel . A Doritos ad from the previous year 's amateur contest called `` Mousetrap '' , where a person dressed in a mouse costume attacks a man who places a small piece of the tortilla chip on said device . A Bud Light ad with a fire - breathing date gone awry . Users of YouTube in their survey chose : Tide - To - Go 's `` Interview '' , with a prospective employee getting talked down by a stain . The Budweiser Clydesdale training montage . SoBe 's aforementioned `` Thrillilicious '' ad . The Bridgestone screaming animals . E-Trade 's ad showing a baby trading stocks online . ADBOWL results reflected the following ranking : The Budweiser ad . The Bridgestone ad . An ad for Coca - Cola featuring Stewie Griffin and Underdog parade balloons fighting over a bottle of Coke , which ends up in the hands of a Charlie Brown balloon . The FedEx ad . An ad for Pepsi featuring Justin Timberlake being magnetically attracted to women drinking Pepsi products . The NFL itself ran an ad following the third quarter 's completion , featuring the winner of a fan vote in an online contest . The idea was to emphasize the personalities of NFL players . The winning ad featured Houston Texans teammates and former San Diego State Aztecs Ephraim Salaam and Chester Pitts . The commercials aired during Super Bowl XLII were made available online after the game on MySpace , as advertised by Fox during the game . Eels attempted to run a one - second edit of their seven - second ad to promote the compilation Useless Trinkets , but were denied by the National Football League . Lead singer E reported : In the end we were told that the NFL would have to find 29 other advertisers to buy 1 second spots to fill a standard 30 second advertising slot and that they do not sell advertising time by the second . They also noted that a rapid fire 30 second segment of thirty 1 second commercials could cause people with certain medical conditions to have seizures and that it was against network regulations . PETA had an ad ready claiming that `` Vegetarians have better sex . '' It was rejected and never shown on TV because it was too risque . Reebok made a series of commercials with the only NFL team with a perfect season , the 1972 Miami Dolphins . One features the ' 72 Dolphins players at a cookout and party at their house in `` Perfectville '' waiting to see what will happen in the game . A final commercial featured a NY Giants courier delivering a package with a note `` A gift from the N.Y. Giants . Enjoy it for one more year . Regards , Eli '' . An alternate commercial was made with a Patriots moving van showing up as `` Perfectville '' neighbors , but was not aired .

The New York Giants : Road to Super Bowl XLII was released on June 3 , 2008 . It was a 5 disc set that featured the full broadcasts of the last game of the regular season and all four playoff games . On August 26 , 2009 New York Giants 10 Greatest Games was released , in which Super Bowl XLII was included as well . Entertainment ( edit ) Pre-game ceremonies ( edit ) Willie Nelson performed for a NFL - sponsored pre-game tailgate party , singing a duet with Sara Evans of his song `` Mammas Do n't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys '' as part of Fox 's pre-game show . This year 's Super Bowl entertainment had many connections to Fox 's series American Idol . On August 16 , both the NFL and Fox confirmed that Idol host Seacrest would serve as emcee for the pre-game show , with Alicia Keys as the primary performer ; as she sang a medley of her songs , including ... `` Go Ahead '' , `` Fallin ' '' , `` If I Ai n't Got You '' , `` Teenage Love Affair '' , and `` No One '' as the final performance . Idol Season Six winner Jordin Sparks , herself a native of Glendale and daughter of former New York Giants cornerback Phillippi Sparks , performed the National Anthem , while Phoenix College professor and theatrical interpreter A Dreamer interpreted it into American Sign Language . The anthem was followed by a flyover from the U.S. Navy precision flying team , the Blue Angels . In addition , judge Paula Abdul premiered her first music video in over a decade , Dance Like There 's No Tomorrow , which she made with fellow judge Randy Jackson as part of Fox 's pregame coverage to kickoff her official comeback . The coin toss ceremony posthumously honored Pro Football Hall of Fame head coach Bill Walsh , who died on July 30 , 2007 . His former players Ronnie Lott , Jerry Rice and Steve Young joined Walsh 's children , Craig and Elizabeth , at the ceremony . Halftime ( edit ) Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers ( Tom Petty pictured ) played during the halftime show . As is always the case , several big names were mentioned as possible performers for the halftime show before a final choice ( Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers ) was announced . The halftime entertainer selection process in late 2007 was not unusual : however , since the site selection process four years earlier was of special interest , it is necessary to also mention some of the acts who might have performed , but did not do so . According to the entertainment publication Variety , a wish list of potential halftime performers was developed by the NFL . Among those on the wish list were Bruce Springsteen ( who performed during halftime at Super Bowl XLIII the following year ) , Norah Jones and the Eagles . In addition , interest in the slot was expressed by Bon Jovi , who had planned to open the U.S. leg of their Lost Highway Tour with a performance during the halftime show . According to Rolling Stone , the engagement was actually offered to the Eagles by the NFL , but the offer was turned down . Then , on December 2 , 2007 , it was officially announced that the halftime entertainment would be provided by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers . The songs `` American Girl '' , `` I Wo n't Back Down '' , `` Free Fallin ' '' , and `` Runnin ' Down a Dream '' were performed by the band to kick off their 2008 world tour . Bridgestone served as the halftime show sponsor . The halftime show itself , produced by Don Mischer and White Cherry Entertainment in association with NFL Network , was nominated for an Emmy Award in 2009 .

Eli Manning was awarded the Pete Rozelle Trophy for being named MVP , and also received the keys to a 2009 Cadillac Escalade hybrid SUV . Though not the only brothers to play in a Super Bowl , Eli Manning and Peyton Manning ( Super Bowl XLI ) are the first brothers to be named Super Bowl MVPs ( doing so in successive years ) . After the game , New York City erupted in celebration , with the sounds of cheers and honking horns echoing through city streets . Crowds of elated New Yorkers , surprised by their team 's unexpected victory , packed Second Avenue in Manhattan , stalling traffic around Manhattan . Times Square was swarmed with celebrating Giants fans well past midnight ; similar celebrations arose throughout Brooklyn , Queens , The Bronx , Staten Island , Long Island , Westchester County , Fairfield County , and North Jersey , where the Giants play their home games . New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg , witnessing the first New York sports team championship victory as mayor , praised the hometown team 's upset victory , saying ; `` New York has come back many times in the past , and Big Blue proved tonight that you should never , ever , count us out . '' Many New Yorkers polled the Giants ' win to be among the most satisfying championship victories in New York sports history . There were also a series of firsts with the championship , not just for the Giants , but also for the city of New York and the New York metropolitan area . Those firsts were : Giants : Super Bowl championship since Super Bowl XXV in 1991 . City of New York : Super Bowl championship since the Giants won Super Bowl XXV in 1991 . Major professional sports championship since : The Yankees won the 2000 World Series . This was also the first championship for a team other than the Yankees since the Rangers won the 1994 Stanley Cup . New York Metropolitan area : Super Bowl championship since the Giants win in 1991 . Crowds overrun Bowling Green Station to witness the ticker - tape parade On the following Tuesday , February 5 , New York City hosted for the Giants a ticker tape parade up Broadway in Lower Manhattan . It was the first along the famed `` Canyon of Heroes '' since the New York Yankees won the 2000 World Series , and the Giants ' first parade in New York . ( Because of acrimonious relations at that time between New York City and the state of New Jersey , the team chose not to participate in a Manhattan parade for its Super Bowl XXI championship in 1987 , but instead held a `` Victory Rally '' at Giants Stadium in The Meadowlands . After their Super Bowl XXV championship in 1991 , then - owner Wellington Mara chose not to hold any celebrations due to the Gulf War . ) After six years in office , Bloomberg became the 14th consecutive mayor of New York City to preside over a ticker - tape parade . ( In contrast , his predecessor , Rudy Giuliani presided over his first ticker - tape parade just five months after becoming mayor , after the Rangers won the Stanley Cup ) Also attending were New York Governor Eliot Spitzer and Senator Chuck Schumer . Spitzer also announced the availability of a New York Giants Super Bowl XLII Champions custom license plate and issued a proclamation declaring the day `` New York Giants Super Bowl Champions Day '' throughout the state of New York . Following the parade , the Giants held two victory rallies : one at New York 's City Hall and another one two hours later at Giants Stadium in the New Jersey Meadowlands . Game Summary ( edit ) New York Giants ' wide receiver Sinorice Moss at the Giants ' Super Bowl parade , February 5 , 2008 . After scoring a combined 73 points in their regular season meeting , the teams scored a mere 10 points by the end of the third quarter , with the Patriots leading 7 -- 3 . The Patriots ' record - setting offense gave up five sacks and one lost fumble , while the Giants ' offense managed only five first downs in the second and third quarters . Yet in the fourth quarter , quarterback Eli Manning threw two touchdown passes , including the winning drive that culminated with a 13 - yard touchdown pass to Plaxico Burress with 35 seconds remaining . First quarter ( edit ) After calling tails to win the coin toss , the Giants started the game with the longest drive in Super Bowl history , a 16 - play , 63 - yard march that consumed 9 minutes , 59 seconds and featured four third - down conversions , the most ever on a Super Bowl opening drive . But New England halted the drive at their own 14 - yard line , forcing the Giants to settle for a 32 - yard field goal from Lawrence Tynes that gave New York a 3 -- 0 lead . New England then responded with its own scoring drive , as Laurence Maroney returned the kickoff 43 yards to the Patriots ' 44 - yard line , after which he rushed twice for 15 yards . Quarterback Tom Brady then completed three passes for 23 yards , but after two incomplete passes , New England was faced with 3rd - and - 10 on the Giants ' 17 - yard line . However , on that play , New York linebacker Antonio Pierce committed pass interference by striking the helmet of tight end Benjamin Watson in the end zone , giving New England 1st - and - goal at the 1 . This set up a Maroney 1 - yard touchdown run two plays later , the first play of the second quarter , for a 7 -- 3 lead . The two teams each only had one drive in the entire opening quarter , a Super Bowl record . It was the first Super Bowl since Super Bowl XXXIII in which both teams scored on their initial possession of the game . Second quarter ( edit ) On the Giants first drive of the second quarter , on 3rd - and - 7 , wide receiver Amani Toomer caught in a deep pass from Manning along the left sideline while dragging his feet in - bounds for a 38 - yard gain , moving the ball to the Patriots ' 19 - yard line . But three plays later , Manning threw a pass that bounced out of the arms of rookie receiver Steve Smith and into the hands of cornerback Ellis Hobbs for an interception . The Patriots ' ensuing drive resulted in a three - and - out as on 3rd - and - 1 James Butler and Michael Strahan tackled Maroney for a two - yard loss and New England was forced to punt . Then on the Giants ' next drive , rookie running back Ahmad Bradshaw fumbled a hand - off from Manning and it looked as though Patriots ' linebacker Pierre Woods had recovered the ball at the Giants ' 30 . But after the officials picked through the pile , it was determined that Bradshaw had made the recovery . The Giants maintained possession and wound up punting . New England 's next drive ended with consecutive Giants ' sacks , the first by linebacker Kawika Mitchell , the second by end Justin Tuck . On the Giants ' following drive , New York moved the ball to the New England 25 , but linebacker Adalius Thomas sacked Manning and forced a fumble. Smith recovered the ball ; however , Bradshaw was penalized for illegally batting the ball forward before the recovery . The penalty pushed the Giants out of field goal range , and following an incompletion , they were forced to punt . After the punt , two 18 - yard receptions by Moss and Donté Stallworth moved the ball to the Giants ' 44 . But with 22 seconds left before halftime , Brady fumbled while being sacked by Tuck and defensive end Osi Umenyiora recovered the ball . The game then went to halftime with the Patriots leading 7 -- 3 . Third quarter ( edit ) On the first drive of the second half , New England had a 4th - and - 2 and chose to punt . However , after the play had been run , Patriots ' head coach Bill Belichick challenged that New York had too many players on the field and replay confirmed that was the case as Giants linebacker Chase Blackburn was unable to get to the sidelines as the ball was being snapped . Therefore , referee Mike Carey reversed the play , and the Giants were penalized 5 yards for having too many players on the field , giving the Patriots a first down . The Patriots then drove to the Giants ' 25 , but Strahan sacked Brady for a 6 - yard loss on third down . Then on 4th - and - 13 , with the ball on the Giants ' 31 , Belichick decided against a long field goal attempt by Stephen Gostkowski ( which would have been a 49 - yard attempt , near Gostkowski 's season long of 50 yards ) and tried to pick up a first down instead . Brady 's pass to Jabar Gaffney was incomplete as it went out of the back of the end zone and the Giants took over on downs . Fourth quarter ( edit ) On the Giants ' first drive of the fourth quarter , Manning completed a 45 - yard pass to rookie tight end Kevin Boss . Following three runs by Bradshaw and a 17 - yard reception by Smith on third down , Manning finished the 7 - play , 80 - yard drive with a 5 - yard touchdown pass to usually unheralded Wide Receiver David Tyree , giving New York a 10 -- 7 lead with 11 : 05 left in the game . After consecutive three - and - outs by the Patriots and Giants , New England got the ball at its own 20 with 7 : 54 to play . Brady then completed a 5 - yard pass to Wes Welker and a 10 - yard pass to Moss , followed by a 9 - yard run by Maroney to give the Patriots a first down at their own 44 . Brady followed with a 13 - yard pass to Welker , a four - yard completion to Kevin Faulk , and then a 10 - yard pass to Welker for a first down at the Giants ' 29 . After that , Brady found Moss for an 11 - yard completion and Faulk for a 12 - yard completion and New England now had 1st - and - goal from the Giants ' 6 . Following two incomplete passes , New York cornerback Corey Webster slipped while backing into coverage , leaving Moss wide open in the end zone where Brady found him for a touchdown to give New England a 14 -- 10 lead with 2 : 42 left in the game . On the ensuing kickoff , Raymond Ventrone leveled Domenik Hixon after a 14 - yard return , giving New York the ball on their own 17 with 2 : 39 left and all three timeouts remaining . Following two receptions by Toomer for 20 yards , Brandon Jacobs kept the drive going with a crucial run off guard on 4th - and - 1 . Two plays later on 2nd - and - 5 , Manning 's pass was high and behind intended receiver David Tyree , but fell harmlessly out of bounds as New England CB Asante Samuel could not corral the pass for the potential game - winning interception . Play - by - play announcer Joe Buck was quick to note Manning 's visible frustration at the apparent miscommunication with Tyree on the play , which stopped the clock with 1 : 15 remaining . On the next play , 3rd - and - 5 from the New York 44 - yard line , Manning found himself in trouble as the Patriots ' pass rush got to him quickly after the snap . He eluded Adalius Thomas , who missed Manning despite having the clearest shot at him , and then broke free from the grasp of Jarvis Green and Richard Seymour , both of whom had the QB by the jersey but failed to hold him in the grasp . In what is considered to be among the greatest Super Bowl plays of all time , Manning then re-oriented himself and launched the ball deep down the middle of the field , where both Tyree and Patriots Safety Rodney Harrison were in position to make a play the on the ball . Tyree outjumped multiple - time Pro Bowler Harrison to secure the ball , and maintained possession by pinning the ball against his helmet as he fell to the ground , clearly maintaining control for a gain of 32 yards and keeping the drive alive . Three plays later , on 3rd - and - 11 , Manning found a wide - open Smith for a 12 - yard gain to the New England 13 , who stepped out of bounds to stop the clock . On the next play , Patriots ' cornerback Ellis Hobbs was beaten badly to the outside by 6'4 '' Giants ' WR Plaxico Burress on a `` slant - and - go '' route , allowing Manning more than enough room to find his big - bodied target for the Touchdown . The score capped a 12 - play , 83 - yard drive to take the lead and prompted a roar from the fans in Glendale , then a mere 35 seconds from potentially witnessing the first 19 - 0 perfect season . Tynes 's PAT gave the Giants a 17 -- 14 lead . New England began its final possession on its own 26 with 29 seconds remaining and three timeouts . Following an errant pass attempt by Brady , Giants ' rookie DT Jay Alford brought immediate pressure up the middle and record the sack for a loss of 10 . The following play , a deep pass to Moss , was brilliantly defended by CB Corey Webster , and Brady 's 4th - and - 20 Hail Mary in Moss 's direction was batted down by safety Gibril Wilson , sealing the upset victory for New York . After the incompletion , it appeared that the officials would run out the clock , as it briefly read zero , before one second was re-added . Coaches , players , reporters , and fans crowded the field as if the game had ended . Belichick hugged Giants ' head coach Tom Coughlin at midfield , then left for the locker room . This early departure was later criticized by some sportswriters . The delay lasted 2 minutes 27 seconds before Manning kneeled out the final second and the Giants were officially crowned champions .

The Giants were also officially classified as the `` road '' team for Super Bowl XLII based on the annual Super Bowl rotation where the NFC champions serve as the away team in even - numbered years . Also note that the Week 5 game vs. the New York Jets was considered a `` home '' game for the Giants . Patriots receiver Wes Welker tied the record for most catches in a Super Bowl , with 11 . Welker was the fourth player to record 11 receptions in a Super Bowl , following Dan Ross of the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl XVI , Jerry Rice of the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XXIII , and Deion Branch of the Patriots in Super Bowl XXXIX . With his fourth quarter touchdown pass to Moss , Brady became just the fourth quarterback with a touchdown pass in four different Super Bowls , joining Roger Staubach , Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw . He also became the sixth quarterback to start at least four Super Bowls , joining Montana , Bradshaw , Staubach , Jim Kelly and John Elway . The Giants opening drive consumed 9 minutes and 59 seconds , making it the longest drive in Super Bowl history . The drive was 27 seconds longer than the previous record , which the Giants had set in winning Super Bowl XXV against the Buffalo Bills . Due to the length of the Giants ' opening drive ( which itself contained a record 4 third - down conversions ) , the first quarter featured only two possessions , a record for an opening quarter . The three lead changes in the fourth quarter were also a Super Bowl record . Although not a record , the 17 points scored by the Giants was the least number of points for a Super Bowl victor since Super Bowl IX .

Carey also officiated the last game between the Giants and Patriots . The full officiating crew was : Referee : Mike Carey # 94 Umpire : Tony Michalek # 115 Head Linesman : Gary Slaughter # 30 Line Judge : Carl Johnson # 101 Field Judge : Boris Cheek # 41 Side Judge : Larry Rose # 128 Back Judge : Scott Helverson # 93 Replay Official : Ken Baker Video Operator : Jim Grant Alternate Referee -- Walt Coleman Alternate Umpire -- Dan Ferrell Alternate Flank -- Ed Camp Alternate Deep -- Carl Cheffers Alternate Back Judge -- Greg Steed Effect of Yankees -- Red Sox rivalry ( edit ) See also : Yankees -- Red Sox rivalry Because the teams were from New York City and Boston , which are approximately four and a half hours apart by car , the Super Bowl echoed the fierce rivalry between the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox in Major League Baseball , games of which are often televised by Fox . Both teams ' fans wore Yankees and Red Sox hats and showed off Fenway Park and Mickey Mantle T - shirts . Patriots fans said that they had no natural hatred for the Giants . Many old - time New Englanders , in fact , grew up rooting for the Giants before Boston got its AFL franchise in 1960 , and are more accustomed to rooting against the Jets . Giants fans , however , discussed their great hatred for the Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles . Many Giants fans also wore hats and shirts of the New York Mets and the New York Rangers as part of discussing their hatred for the Eagles . Before the game , Patriots fans said they wanted to continue the trademark `` Yankees Suck ! '' chant , which began after they won Super Bowl XXXVI in 2002 ( which followed the Yankees ' loss in the 2001 World Series ) , while Giants fans wanted revenge for 2004 , when the Red Sox came back from a 3 -- 0 deficit to beat the Yankees in the ALCS en route to winning the World Series . The post-game celebrations even played out the rivalry , but to a lesser extent . Giants fans called it revenge for the Red Sox coming back from 3 -- 0 down to beat the Yankees in the 2004 American League Championship Series , en route to ending the Curse of the Bambino . In response to Patriots fans chanting `` Yankees suck ! '' when celebrating their victory in Super Bowl XXXVI , Dan Shaughnessy of The Boston Globe wrote `` Can you imagine a Giants or Jets celebration in New York City in which a New York player would take the time to chant , ' Red Sox suck ? ' '' He referred to retaliation for the `` Yankees suck ! '' chants . After the game Giants fans chanted `` 18 and 1 ! '' , reminiscent of the infamous `` 1918 ! '' chant the Yankees made at the Red Sox each time they visited Yankee Stadium until the Red Sox won the 2004 World Series , towards Patriots fans as they left the stadium , referring to the Patriots ' final record . The same chant was also heard by Giants players and fans during the parade and rallies .

Weight
Weight - wikipedia Weight Jump to : navigation , search This page is about the physical concept . In law , commerce , and in colloquial usage weight may also refer to mass . For other uses see weight ( disambiguation ) . Weight A spring scale measures the weight of an object . Common symbols W ( \ displaystyle W ) SI unit newton ( N ) Other units pound - force ( lbf ) In SI base units kg ⋅ m ⋅ s SI dimension M L T − 2 ( \ displaystyle ( \ mathsf ( MLT ) ) ^ ( - 2 ) ) Extensive ? Yes Intensive ? No Conserved ? No Derivations from other quantities W = m g ( \ displaystyle W = mg ) W = m a ( \ displaystyle W = ma ) In science and engineering , the weight of an object is usually taken to be the force on the object due to gravity . Weight is a vector whose magnitude ( a scalar quantity ) , often denoted by an italic letter W , is the product of the mass m of the object and the magnitude of the local gravitational acceleration g ; thus : W = mg . The unit of measurement for weight is that of force , which in the International System of Units ( SI ) is the newton . For example , an object with a mass of one kilogram has a weight of about 9.8 newtons on the surface of the Earth , and about one - sixth as much on the Moon . In this sense of weight , a body can be weightless only if it is distant ( in principle infinitely far away ) from any other mass . Although weight and mass are scientifically distinct quantities , the terms are often confused with each other in everyday use ( i.e. comparing and converting force weight in pounds to mass in kilograms and vice versa ) . There is also a rival tradition within Newtonian physics and engineering which sees weight as that which is measured when one uses scales . There the weight is a measure of the magnitude of the reaction force exerted on a body . Typically , in measuring an object 's weight , the object is placed on scales at rest with respect to the earth , but the definition can be extended to other states of motion . Thus , in a state of free fall , the weight would be zero . In this second sense of weight , terrestrial objects can be weightless . Ignoring air resistance , the famous apple falling from the tree , on its way to meet the ground near Isaac Newton , is weightless . Further complications in elucidating the various concepts of weight have to do with the theory of relativity according to which gravity is modelled as a consequence of the curvature of spacetime . In the teaching community , a considerable debate has existed for over half a century on how to define weight for their students . The current situation is that a multiple set of concepts co-exist and find use in their various contexts . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 1.1 Newton 1.2 Relativity 2 Definitions 2.1 Gravitational definition 2.2 Operational definition 2.3 ISO definition 2.4 Apparent weight 3 Mass 3.1 SI units 3.2 Pound and other non-SI units 4 Sensation 5 Measuring 6 Relative weights on the Earth and other celestial bodies 7 See also 8 Notes 9 References History ( edit ) Ancient Greek official bronze weights dating from around the 6th century BC , exhibited in the Ancient Agora Museum in Athens , housed in the Stoa of Attalus . Weighing grain , from the Babur - namah Discussion of the concepts of heaviness ( weight ) and lightness ( levity ) date back to the ancient Greek philosophers . These were typically viewed as inherent properties of objects . Plato described weight as the natural tendency of objects to seek their kin . To Aristotle weight and levity represented the tendency to restore the natural order of the basic elements : air , earth , fire and water . He ascribed absolute weight to earth and absolute levity to fire . Archimedes saw weight as a quality opposed to buoyancy , with the conflict between the two determining if an object sinks or floats . The first operational definition of weight was given by Euclid , who defined weight as : `` weight is the heaviness or lightness of one thing , compared to another , as measured by a balance . '' Operational balances ( rather than definitions ) had , however , been around much longer . According to Aristotle , weight was the direct cause of the falling motion of an object , the speed of the falling object was supposed to be directly proportionate to the weight of the object . As medieval scholars discovered that in practice the speed of a falling object increased with time , this prompted a change to the concept of weight to maintain this cause effect relationship . Weight was split into a `` still weight '' or pondus , which remained constant , and the actual gravity or gravitas , which changed as the object fell . The concept of gravitas was eventually replaced by Jean Buridan 's impetus , a precursor to momentum . The rise of the Copernican view of the world led to the resurgence of the Platonic idea that like objects attract but in the context of heavenly bodies . In the 17th century , Galileo made significant advances in the concept of weight . He proposed a way to measure the difference between the weight of a moving object and an object at rest . Ultimately , he concluded weight was proportionate to the amount of matter of an object , and not the speed of motion as supposed by the Aristotelean view of physics . Newton ( edit ) The introduction of Newton 's laws of motion and the development of Newton 's law of universal gravitation led to considerable further development of the concept of weight . Weight became fundamentally separate from mass . Mass was identified as a fundamental property of objects connected to their inertia , while weight became identified with the force of gravity on an object and therefore dependent on the context of the object . In particular , Newton considered weight to be relative to another object causing the gravitational pull , e.g. the weight of the Earth towards the Sun . Newton considered time and space to be absolute . This allowed him to consider concepts as true position and true velocity . Newton also recognized that weight as measured by the action of weighing was affected by environmental factors such as buoyancy . He considered this a false weight induced by imperfect measurement conditions , for which he introduced the term apparent weight as compared to the true weight defined by gravity . Although Newtonian physics made a clear distinction between weight and mass , the term weight continued to be commonly used when people meant mass . This led the 3rd General Conference on Weights and Measures ( CGPM ) of 1901 to officially declare `` The word weight denotes a quantity of the same nature as a force : the weight of a body is the product of its mass and the acceleration due to gravity '' , thus distinguishing it from mass for official usage . Relativity ( edit ) In the 20th century , the Newtonian concepts of absolute time and space were challenged by relativity . Einstein 's principle of equivalence put all observers , moving or accelerating , on the same footing . This led to an ambiguity as to what exactly is meant by the force of gravity and weight . A scale in an accelerating elevator can not be distinguished from a scale in a gravitational field . Gravitational force and weight thereby became essentially frame - dependent quantities . This prompted the abandonment of the concept as superfluous in the fundamental sciences such as physics and chemistry . Nonetheless , the concept remained important in the teaching of physics . The ambiguities introduced by relativity led , starting in the 1960s , to considerable debate in the teaching community as how to define weight for their students , choosing between a nominal definition of weight as the force due to gravity or an operational definition defined by the act of weighing . Definitions ( edit ) This top - fuel dragster can accelerate from zero to 160 kilometres per hour ( 99 mph ) in 0.86 seconds . This is a horizontal acceleration of 5.3 g . Combined with the vertical g - force in the stationary case the Pythagorean theorem yields a g - force of 5.4 g . It is this g - force that causes the driver 's weight if one uses the operational definition . If one uses the gravitational definition , the driver 's weight is unchanged by the motion of the car . Several definitions exist for weight , not all of which are equivalent . Gravitational definition ( edit ) The most common definition of weight found in introductory physics textbooks defines weight as the force exerted on a body by gravity . This is often expressed in the formula W = mg , where W is the weight , m the mass of the object , and g gravitational acceleration . In 1901 , the 3rd General Conference on Weights and Measures ( CGPM ) established this as their official definition of weight : `` The word weight denotes a quantity of the same nature as a force : the weight of a body is the product of its mass and the acceleration due to gravity . '' -- Resolution 2 of the 3rd General Conference on Weights and Measures This resolution defines weight as a vector , since force is a vector quantity . However , some textbooks also take weight to be a scalar by defining : `` The weight W of a body is equal to the magnitude F of the gravitational force on the body . '' The gravitational acceleration varies from place to place . Sometimes , it is simply taken to have a standard value of 9.80665 m / s , which gives the standard weight . The force whose magnitude is equal to mg newtons is also known as the m kilogram weight ( which term is abbreviated to kg - wt ) Measuring weight versus mass Left : A spring scale measures weight , by seeing how much the object pushes on a spring ( inside the device ) . On the Moon , an object would give a lower reading . Right : A balance scale indirectly measures mass , by comparing an object to references . On the Moon , an object would give the same reading , because the object and references would both become lighter . Operational definition ( edit ) In the operational definition , the weight of an object is the force measured by the operation of weighing it , which is the force it exerts on its support . Since , W = downward force on the body by the centre of earth , and there is no acceleration in the body . So , there exists opposite and equal force by the support on the body . Also it is equal to the force exerted by the body on its support because action and reaction have same numerical value and opposite direction . This can make a considerable difference , depending on the details ; for example , an object in free fall exerts little if any force on its support , a situation that is commonly referred to as weightlessness . However , being in free fall does not affect the weight according to the gravitational definition . Therefore , the operational definition is sometimes refined by requiring that the object be at rest . However , this raises the issue of defining `` at rest '' ( usually being at rest with respect to the Earth is implied by using standard gravity ) . In the operational definition , the weight of an object at rest on the surface of the Earth is lessened by the effect of the centrifugal force from the Earth 's rotation . The operational definition , as usually given , does not explicitly exclude the effects of buoyancy , which reduces the measured weight of an object when it is immersed in a fluid such as air or water . As a result , a floating balloon or an object floating in water might be said to have zero weight . ISO definition ( edit ) In the ISO International standard ISO 80000 - 4 ( 2006 ) , describing the basic physical quantities and units in mechanics as a part of the International standard ISO / IEC 80000 , the definition of weight is given as : Definition F g = m g ( \ displaystyle F_ ( g ) = mg \ , ) , where m is mass and g is local acceleration of free fall . Remarks It should be noted that , when the reference frame is Earth , this quantity comprises not only the local gravitational force , but also the local centrifugal force due to the rotation of the Earth , a force which varies with latitude . The effect of atmospheric buoyancy is excluded in the weight . In common parlance , the name `` weight '' continues to be used where `` mass '' is meant , but this practice is deprecated . -- ISO 80000 - 4 ( 2006 ) The definition is dependent on the chosen frame of reference . When the chosen frame is co-moving with the object in question then this definition precisely agrees with the operational definition . If the specified frame is the surface of the Earth , the weight according to the ISO and gravitational definitions differ only by the centrifugal effects due to the rotation of the Earth . Apparent weight ( edit ) Main article : Apparent weight In many real world situations the act of weighing may produce a result that differs from the ideal value provided by the definition used . This is usually referred to as the apparent weight of the object . A common example of this is the effect of buoyancy , when an object is immersed in a fluid the displacement of the fluid will cause an upward force on the object , making it appear lighter when weighed on a scale . The apparent weight may be similarly affected by levitation and mechanical suspension . When the gravitational definition of weight is used , the operational weight measured by an accelerating scale is often also referred to as the apparent weight . Mass ( edit ) An object with mass m resting on a surface and the corresponding free body diagram of just the object showing the forces acting on it . Notice that the amount of force that the table is pushing upward on the object ( the N vector ) is equal to the downward force of the object 's weight ( shown here as mg , as weight is equal to the object 's mass multiplied with the acceleration due to gravity ) : because these forces are equal , the object is in a state of equilibrium ( all the forces and moments acting on it sum to zero ) . Main article : Mass versus weight In modern scientific usage , weight and mass are fundamentally different quantities : mass is an `` extrinsic '' ( extensive ) property of matter , whereas weight is a force that results from the action of gravity on matter : it measures how strongly the force of gravity pulls on that matter . However , in most practical everyday situations the word `` weight '' is used when , strictly , `` mass '' is meant . For example , most people would say that an object `` weighs one kilogram '' , even though the kilogram is a unit of mass . The distinction between mass and weight is unimportant for many practical purposes because the strength of gravity does not vary too much on the surface of the Earth . In a uniform gravitational field , the gravitational force exerted on an object ( its weight ) is directly proportional to its mass . For example , object A weighs 10 times as much as object B , so therefore the mass of object A is 10 times greater than that of object B . This means that an object 's mass can be measured indirectly by its weight , and so , for everyday purposes , weighing ( using a weighing scale ) is an entirely acceptable way of measuring mass . Similarly , a balance measures mass indirectly by comparing the weight of the measured item to that of an object ( s ) of known mass . Since the measured item and the comparison mass are in virtually the same location , so experiencing the same gravitational field , the effect of varying gravity does not affect the comparison or the resulting measurement . The Earth 's gravitational field is not uniform but can vary by as much as 0.5 % at different locations on Earth ( see Earth 's gravity ) . These variations alter the relationship between weight and mass , and must be taken into account in high precision weight measurements that are intended to indirectly measure mass . Spring scales , which measure local weight , must be calibrated at the location at which the objects will be used to show this standard weight , to be legal for commerce . This table shows the variation of acceleration due to gravity ( and hence the variation of weight ) at various locations on the Earth 's surface . Location Latitude m / s Equator 0 ° 9.7803 Sydney 33 ° 52 ′ S 9.7968 Aberdeen 57 ° 9 ′ N 9.8168 North Pole 90 ° N 9.8322 The historic use of `` weight '' for `` mass '' also persists in some scientific terminology -- for example , the chemical terms `` atomic weight '' , `` molecular weight '' , and `` formula weight '' , can still be found rather than the preferred `` atomic mass '' etc . In a different gravitational field , for example , on the surface of the Moon , an object can have a significantly different weight than on Earth . The gravity on the surface of the Moon is only about one - sixth as strong as on the surface of the Earth . A one - kilogram mass is still a one - kilogram mass ( as mass is an extrinsic property of the object ) but the downward force due to gravity , and therefore its weight , is only one - sixth of what the object would have on Earth . So a man of mass 180 pounds weighs only about 30 pounds - force when visiting the Moon . SI units ( edit ) In most modern scientific work , physical quantities are measured in SI units . The SI unit of weight is the same as that of force : the newton ( N ) -- a derived unit which can also be expressed in SI base units as kg m / s ( kilograms times meters per second squared ) . In commercial and everyday use , the term `` weight '' is usually used to mean mass , and the verb `` to weigh '' means `` to determine the mass of '' or `` to have a mass of '' . Used in this sense , the proper SI unit is the kilogram ( kg ) . Pound and other non-SI units ( edit ) In United States customary units , the pound can be either a unit of force or a unit of mass . Related units used in some distinct , separate subsystems of units include the poundal and the slug . The poundal is defined as the force necessary to accelerate an object of one - pound mass at 1 ft / s , and is equivalent to about 1 / 32.2 of a pound - force . The slug is defined as the amount of mass that accelerates at 1 ft / s when one pound - force is exerted on it , and is equivalent to about 32.2 pounds ( mass ) . The kilogram - force is a non-SI unit of force , defined as the force exerted by a one kilogram mass in standard Earth gravity ( equal to 9.80665 newtons exactly ) . The dyne is the cgs unit of force and is not a part of SI , while weights measured in the cgs unit of mass , the gram , remain a part of SI . Sensation ( edit ) See also : Apparent weight The sensation of weight is caused by the force exerted by fluids in the vestibular system , a three - dimensional set of tubes in the inner ear . It is actually the sensation of g - force , regardless of whether this is due to being stationary in the presence of gravity , or , if the person is in motion , the result of any other forces acting on the body such as in the case of acceleration or deceleration of a lift , or centrifugal forces when turning sharply . Measuring ( edit ) Main article : Weighing scale `` Weigh '' redirects here . For other uses , see Weigh ( disambiguation ) . A weighbridge , used for weighing trucks Weight is commonly measured using one of two methods . A spring scale or hydraulic or pneumatic scale measures local weight , the local force of gravity on the object ( strictly apparent weight force ) . Since the local force of gravity can vary by up to 0.5 % at different locations , spring scales will measure slightly different weights for the same object ( the same mass ) at different locations . To standardize weights , scales are always calibrated to read the weight an object would have at a nominal standard gravity of 9.80665 m / s ( approx . 32.174 ft / s ) . However , this calibration is done at the factory . When the scale is moved to another location on Earth , the force of gravity will be different , causing a slight error . So to be highly accurate , and legal for commerce , spring scales must be re-calibrated at the location at which they will be used . A balance on the other hand , compares the weight of an unknown object in one scale pan to the weight of standard masses in the other , using a lever mechanism -- a lever - balance . The standard masses are often referred to , non-technically , as `` weights '' . Since any variations in gravity will act equally on the unknown and the known weights , a lever - balance will indicate the same value at any location on Earth . Therefore , balance `` weights '' are usually calibrated and marked in mass units , so the lever - balance measures mass by comparing the Earth 's attraction on the unknown object and standard masses in the scale pans . In the absence of a gravitational field , away from planetary bodies ( e.g. space ) , a lever - balance would not work , but on the Moon , for example , it would give the same reading as on Earth . Some balances can be marked in weight units , but since the weights are calibrated at the factory for standard gravity , the balance will measure standard weight , i.e. what the object would weigh at standard gravity , not the actual local force of gravity on the object . If the actual force of gravity on the object is needed , this can be calculated by multiplying the mass measured by the balance by the acceleration due to gravity -- either standard gravity ( for everyday work ) or the precise local gravity ( for precision work ) . Tables of the gravitational acceleration at different locations can be found on the web . Gross weight is a term that is generally found in commerce or trade applications , and refers to the total weight of a product and its packaging . Conversely , net weight refers to the weight of the product alone , discounting the weight of its container or packaging ; and tare weight is the weight of the packaging alone . Relative weights on the Earth and other celestial bodies ( edit ) Main articles : Earth 's gravity and Surface gravity The table below shows comparative gravitational accelerations at the surface of the Sun , the Earth 's moon , each of the planets in the solar system . The `` surface '' is taken to mean the cloud tops of the gas giants ( Jupiter , Saturn , Uranus and Neptune ) . For the Sun , the surface is taken to mean the photosphere . The values in the table have not been de-rated for the centrifugal effect of planet rotation ( and cloud - top wind speeds for the gas giants ) and therefore , generally speaking , are similar to the actual gravity that would be experienced near the poles .

what unit would you use to measure the weight of a apple
[ "In science and engineering, the weight of an object is usually taken to be the force on the object due to gravity.[1][2] Weight is a vector whose magnitude (a scalar quantity), often denoted by an italic letter W, is the product of the mass m of the object and the magnitude of the local gravitational acceleration g;[3] thus: W = mg. The unit of measurement for weight is that of force, which in the International System of Units (SI) is the newton. For example, an object with a mass of one kilogram has a weight of about 9.8 newtons on the surface of the Earth, and about one-sixth as much on the Moon. In this sense of weight, a body can be weightless only if it is distant (in principle infinitely far away) from any other mass. Although weight and mass are scientifically distinct quantities, the terms are often confused with each other in everyday use (i.e. comparing and converting force weight in pounds to mass in kilograms and vice versa).[4]" ]

We Found Love (music video)
We Found Love ( music video ) - wikipedia We Found Love ( music video ) Jump to : navigation , search We Found Love A screenshot of Rihanna vomiting pink and white streamers . Directed by Melina Matsoukas Produced by Juliette Larthe Ben Sullivan Prettybird ( co-producer ) Candice Ouaknine ( executive producer ) Starring Rihanna Dudley O'Shaughnessy Narrated by Agyness Deyn Music by Rihanna Edited by Jeff Selis Production company Def Jam SRP Distributed by Universal Music and Video Distribution Release date October 19 , 2011 ( 2011 - 10 - 19 ) ( premiere ) October 22 , 2011 ( 2011 - 10 - 22 ) ( download ) Running time 4 : 36 Country United States Language English The music video for Barbadian singer Rihanna 's 2011 single `` We Found Love '' was directed by Melina Matsoukas . It was filmed on September 26 -- 28 , 2011 , in the New Lodge area of Belfast and Bangor , County Down , Northern Ireland . People driving around the location of the set informed BBC that traffic in the area was congested as drivers wanted to see the singer . The video premiered on October 19 , 2011 , and was made available to download digitally three days later on October 22 . As of May 2018 , the video has amassed over 790 million views on YouTube . The video begins with a monologue given by fashion model Agyness Deyn . Scenes of Rihanna with her romantic interest ( Dudley O'Shaughnessy ) in both love and hate scenarios intersperse , as they experience mounting difficulties in their relationship . After enduring the overwhelming effects of recreational drugs and physical violence , she finds her boyfriend unconscious on the floor of his apartment , and leaves him , having had enough of the relationship . Images of the song 's producer and featured artist Calvin Harris appear in outdoor DJ scenes , while the video has regular references to popular culture , such as themes of films and content of other singers ' videos . Many critics noted that the video resembled a short film , and compared it to the films Trainspotting and Requiem for a Dream . Some critics also compared the thematic content to those of Rihanna 's videos for `` S&M '' and `` Man Down '' . Despite that , the video caused much controversy among activist groups . Christian youth pastor Brandon Ward , John Colonnello and the Ulster Cancer Foundation criticized the video for Rihanna 's portrayal of her character having sex while under the influence of illegal drugs and smoking heavily . Consequently , the video was banned from being shown before 10 pm on French television . It won the Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video and MTV 's VMA for Video of the Year . The video further managed to peak at number one on the Polish Top Airplay TV Chart .

The music video for `` We Found Love '' was shot on September 26 -- 28 , 2011 , in County Down , Northern Ireland . It was filmed in a field in the town of Bangor , County Down , ahead of Rihanna 's embarkment on the European leg of the Loud Tour ( 2011 ) , and the New Lodge area of North Belfast . It was directed by Melina Matsoukas , who had previously directed the videos for `` Rude Boy '' ( 2010 ) , and the controversial `` S&M '' ( 2011 ) . During the filming , people driving around the location of the set informed the BBC that traffic in the area was congested as drivers tried to see the singer . Pictures showing Rihanna wearing a red bandana top , long flannel shirt , and `` dirty denim '' , similar to the clothing she wore for the song 's artwork , were leaked onto the internet the same day . She filmed scenes while wearing a bikini with the pattern of the US flag , and a denim vest and ripped jeans . The owner of the field , farmer and North Down Borough Council Democratic Unionist Party councillor Alan Graham , expressed distaste after seeing Rihanna topless on his field , saying : `` When the filming did become to my mind unacceptable I requested the filming to stop ... it became apparent to me that the situation was becoming inappropriate and I requested them to stop and they did '' . On September 28 , 2011 , the shoot location was moved to a closed set in Titanic Quarter , Belfast where both photographers and fans were barred from watching the singer . Extras for the shoot were not told what was expected of them until the last minute , in order to keep the content of the video as secret as possible . Regarding the video 's content , Rihanna posted a message on Twitter that read : `` I really ca n't stop thinking about this video we just shot ! EASILY the BEST video I 've done thus far ! '' Rihanna elaborated on the concept of the video : `` We 've never done a video like this before . This is probably one of the deepest videos I 've ever done ... it 's all about love and love being like a drug , you definitely get that from this . '' The male love interest in the video is Dudley O'Shaughnessy , a model and former boxer . Upon the release of the video , Matsoukas explained the content of the video in an interview with MTV : We love , obviously , to do provocative imagery ... we always try to definitely push the limits ... I think because , in the end , it 's not really at all about domestic violence . It 's really just about it being toxic , and they 're on this drug trip and that definitely plays a part , but I think it 's also about being triumphant over those weaknesses , and she leaves him . It 's not trying to glorify that type of relationship . The bad parts of it , that 's what you do n't want . In the end , her leaving , it represents her getting that out of her life . The drugs and the addiction and the toxic -- that 's what brings her downfall and brings a lot of harm . The director went on to explain the content with regard to Rihanna 's domestic violence case against former boyfriend Chris Brown in February 2009 , saying that it is not a reenactment of what happened between Rihanna and Brown , but rather that Rihanna is acting in the video . Matsoukas said : ( The song 's ) totally rave - y ... and that 's the feeling , just music rushing over you , and then I started thinking about drugs and addiction and love and how that 's an addiction ... we 've all lived the ups and downs of being in a toxic relationship . It 's really about the obstacles of trying to let it go , but at the same time how great it makes you feel , so it 's hard to let it go . Again , it goes back to a story that we all can relate to ... It 's not Rihanna 's story ; it 's her story in the video , and she 's acting . But everybody 's ( as well ) . Obviously , there 's a lot of comparisons to her real life , and that 's not at all the intention . It 's just that I guess people naturally go there because art imitates life , and it 's a story we all relate to and we 've all experienced . Like , it 's based on my life ; it 's based on her life ; it 's based on your life , like , everybody . In an interview with Pitchfork Media , Matsoukas said that she was surprised with the professional standard of Rihanna 's acting . The inspiration for Rihanna acting in the video came from when Matsoukas saw the clip for `` Man Down '' in April 2011 ; the director stated that she was taken aback at how Rihanna realistically re-enacted a rape scenario . Matsoukas described the process for choosing O'Shaughnessy as the male love interest , stating that Rihanna had asked her to find a man she could `` fake fuck '' while filming . The director said that she telephoned a boxer her friend had told her about , and asked him to make a tape of himself using the description of how the male love interest should act . When asked if any of the video was improvised , Matsoukas revealed that she would create a scenario and then it was left to Rihanna and O'Shaughnessy to elaborate upon what the director had given them . Matsoukas jokingly said that the scene in which O'Shaughnessy draws a tattoo on Rihanna 's buttock cheek was not part of the video 's treatment , and that O'Shaughnessy improvised it . Upon the video 's release , multiple media outlets and music critics compared the content of the video to a reenactment of Rihanna and Brown 's physical altercation . When asked about this , Matsoukas clarified that the video was not linked to Brown in any circumstance , and said , `` ( O'Shaughnessy ) does n't even really look like Chris Brown to me . '' Synopsis ( edit ) The video begins with a monologue by fashion model Agyness Deyn about love and heartbreak : It 's like you 're screaming but no one can hear . You almost feel ashamed that someone could be that important , that without them , you feel like nothing . No one will ever understand how much it hurts . You feel hopeless , like nothing can save you . And when it 's over and it 's gone , you almost wish that you could have all that bad stuff back so you can have the good . During the narration , Rihanna and her lover are depicted in both love and hate scenarios . Before the song begins to play , lightning bolts are projected onto a wall in which Rihanna stands in front of . She and her lover are depicted as enamored with each other , and enjoying activities such as fairground rides and eating in fast food restaurants . During the chorus , images of drugs , pills , and dilated pupils are shown , while brief scenes of Rihanna and her boyfriend preparing to have sex are shown . The chorus continues and the video cuts to a scene in which Rihanna and other people dance at an outside rave ; Calvin Harris features as the DJ . As the second chorus begins , Rihanna and her boyfriend are happily running amok in a supermarket , pushing each other in a shopping cart and spraying canned drinks at each other . However , they begin arguing in a car . The video then shows the couple experiencing mounting difficulties in their relationship . They eventually begin to physically abuse one another . During the final chorus , Rihanna is seen vomiting streamers ; she is also seen unconscious on the street while her boyfriend tries to revive her . After finding the boyfriend unconscious on the floor of his apartment , Rihanna decides she has had enough of the relationship and leaves him . The video ends with Rihanna curled up in the corner of a room , crying . Release and reception ( edit ) The video received multiple comparisons from various music critics to Trainspotting ( 1996 ) , directed by Danny Boyle ( pictured ) , because of its overly sexualized and violent themes , as well as the opening monologue by Agyness Deyn . The video for `` We Found Love '' premiered on the website Whosay.com on October 19 , 2011 . Critics were divided on their opinions of the video ; some praised its cinematic feel and others criticized the glorification of drug abuse . Chris Coplan of Consequence of Sound praised the production of the video , noting its cinematic feel and that it shows the `` ins and outs ( and ) ups and downs '' of love . Coplan compared the video to the film Blue Valentine due to its sexualized content and a narrative that consists of a couple in a turbulent relationship . Erika Ramirez of Billboard magazine called the video artful and poignant , and noted that it shows `` neon colors , explicit sex , bathtub embraces and painful arguments of the couple 's world '' . Jocelyn Vena of MTV commented that although the song is upbeat and carefree , the video represents the antithesis , depicting `` a dark look at love and substance abuse '' . Vena , like Coplan , noted that the song has a cinematic feel , calling it a `` mini-movie '' . She compared the video to the films Trainspotting and Requiem for a Dream , with regard to its opening monologue , which Vena thought foreshadowed the video . Matthew Perpetua of Rolling Stone wrote , `` the footage looks like a remake of Trainspotting , and , ( '' We Found Love `` ) matches its thumping rave beat to footage that often looks like a remake of Trainspotting '' . Amanda Dobbins of New York magazine was more critical of the video ; she criticized Rihanna 's undressing in a farmer 's field as `` the least of its provocations '' and listed the activities the couple partake in : `` smoking , drinking , dancing on fast - food tables , dancing at raves , heavy petting , stealing groceries , drunk wheelies , and bathing while fully clothed ( and ) candy - colored drugs '' . Dobbins noted that the list of illicit and frowned upon activities may aggravate parents and committees because of the explicit nature of the video , which caused controversy for Rihanna in her videos for `` S&M '' and `` Man Down '' . Charlotte Cowles of the same publication commented that the voice - over provided by Deyn at the start of the video sounded `` incredibly depressing '' . Leah Greenblatt of Entertainment Weekly described the video as `` a Trainspotting - meets - Drugstore Cowboy portrait of wasted youth and finding love in an apparently very pharmaceutical place '' . Greenblatt continued her review in a more negative manner , asking if it `` paint ( s ) a too - glamorous portrait of crazy , stupid love for her young fans ? Or is it ( Rihanna ) 's prerogative to push the boundaries of dilated pupils , couch sex , and how many cigarettes two people can conceivably smoke simultaneously ? '' Jamie Lewis of the International Business Times noted that the video is likely to cause controversy among sections of the public due to the `` multitude of illicit and illegal acts '' , and condemned the activities that the singer appeared to be partaking in , writing , `` Rihanna can be seen swallowing unmarked pills , smoking what looks like marijuana , publicly stripping , stealing goods and vandalising '' . Lewis also wrote that Rihanna had received mixed reactions from her fans via her Twitter and Facebook feeds . Accolades ( edit ) The video was included on many lists of the best music videos of 2011 . Out of 50 videos , `` We Found Love '' ranked at number 21 on NME 's Best Music Videos of 2011 . A reviewer for NME called it , `` an artful mini-movie of a promo , an ode to crazy , youthful love . '' It ranked at number 12 out of 25 on Slant Magazine 's Top 2011 Music Videos . A reviewer for Slant Magazine praised Matsoukas ' directorial skills , writing , `` Melina Matsoukas 's video projects ( literally and figuratively ) the fleeting rush of both young love and drugs -- and the often fatal cocktail that 's produced when the two are combined . '' The video was included on The Guardian 's 2011 list , entitled `` The best pop videos of 2011 '' . As of January 2015 , Billboard named the video as the second best music video of the 2010s ( so far ) . The video received three MTV Video Music Award nominations , including Best Pop Video , and won the award for Video of the Year . The video received the Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video at the 55th Grammy Awards which was held on February 10 , 2013 at the Staples Center , Los Angeles . Controversy ( edit ) In the UK , The Rape Crisis Centre , an organization that helps victims of sexual abuse and sexual violence , criticized the video . Eileen Kelly , a representative of the group , stated that the video sends `` out an inappropriate message '' and told The Daily Star that the clip `` is a disgrace . It sends the message that she is an object to be possessed by men , which is disturbingly what we see in real violence cases '' . The video was also criticized by Brandon Ward , a youth pastor of Oasis Christian Center in Staten Island , New York , for `` damaging the moral and self - worth of young impressionable teens . '' Ward wrote how he thought the video affects females ' sense of self - worth : The real issue is that it moves the moral center more towards the obscene . That it becomes more normal to be more sexually promiscuous , because they are bombarded with imagery that is loaded with innuendo , and that is seen as normal , even preferred ... if girls and women find their identity and self - worth in the approval of people , they will do whatever it takes to become popular and loved . When stars like Rihanna , who blast sexuality , are thrust into the limelight , girls tend to think that is the way for them to be valuable . God tells us that we are fearfully and wonderfully made ... bearing His image . Rihanna is selling a lie . John Colonnello , a youth pastor from Athens , Alabama , criticized Rihanna 's failure as a role model for young girls and women who look up to her . Colonello said that Rihanna is promoting the importance of one 's physical appearance , and unhealthy sex : `` the message should be that it 's about who you are on the inside and your character . That you should be honest , trustworthy , faithful , kind , loving , compassionate and more . '' The video is the third by Rihanna in 2011 to receive a negative reaction from organizations ; `` S&M '' was banned from eleven countries due to its explicit sexual content , while `` Man Down '' attracted media attention when the Parents Television Council ( PTC ) criticized Rihanna for depicting a `` cold , calculated execution of murder '' in the video and for portraying a scenario of rape . On November 23 , 2011 , the music video for `` We Found Love '' was banned from broadcast before 10 pm in France , owing to its violent , dangerous , and sexually suggestive nature . Ulster Cancer Foundation , an anti-smoking organization , condemned Rihanna for smoking in the music video . Doreen Reegan , a spokesperson for the organization , commented on the singer 's decision to include smoking as part of her promotional image , saying : Three - quarters of adult smokers start the habit as teenagers , which is why it is so irresponsible of Rihanna to influence her young fan base in this way ... After so much hype around the filming of the video it was very disappointing to see Rihanna so blatantly smoking throughout it ... Artists such as Rihanna are held in high esteem and regarded as role models by millions of young people . Comparisons ( edit ) Chris Brown ( edit ) Upon the release of the music video , multiple critics noted the striking physical resemblance between Rihanna 's ex-boyfriend Chris Brown ( pictured , left ) and Dudley O'Shaughnessy , as well as how the content of the video appeared to be a reenactment of Brown 's assault on Rihanna . The plot and themes of the video also received comparisons to Britney Spears ' ( pictured , right ) `` Criminal '' video , which premiered two days before `` We Found Love '' . After the release of the video , critics commented on the resemblance between Rihanna 's ex-boyfriend Chris Brown and her fictional love interest in the video , Dudley O'Shaughnessy , and how the video 's content appeared to be somewhat of a reenactment of the assault upon Rihanna by Brown on the evening of the 2009 Grammy Awards . Chris Doplan of Consequence of Sound said that O'Shaughnessy strongly resembled Brown in his appearance . Amanda Dobbins of New York magazine concurred with Doplan , and wrote that O'Shaughnessy has short blond hair like Brown once had . Erika Ramirez of Billboard magazine also thought that O'Shaughnessy's character is a depiction of Brown , especially in relation to the scene which features the couple in a car , with O'Shaughnessy driving recklessly and Rihanna begging him to stop . William Goodman of Spin provided an analysis of the video with regard to the Brown comparisons . Like many reviewers , he noted the resemblance between Brown and O'Shaughnessy , writing `` The clip stars a dead ringer for Brown , complete with dyed hair and bulging biceps '' . Goodman commented upon the video 's opening narration , which was actually voiced by Agyness Deyn , `` The video opens with a Rihanna voice - over that warns , ' You almost feel ashamed that someone could be that important . No one will ever understand how much it hurts ... you almost wish that you could have all that bad stuff back , so that you have the good ' . '' In conclusion , Goodman commented that the scene showing an altercation in a car is reminiscent of Brown 's assault on Rihanna , which occurred inside a car . Goodman wrote : `` during a heated argument between the couple in a muscle car , the Brown look - alike gives the Barbadian beauty a slap on the face . Convinced yet ? '' Britney Spears ' `` Criminal '' ( edit ) The video also received comparisons to Spears ' `` Criminal '' , which was released two days before `` We Found Love '' , on October 17 , 2011 . Critics noted that both videos were filmed in the United Kingdom and caused controversy there , both contain scenes of sex , violence , and crime , and both featured `` bad boy '' stereotypes and evoke the personal lives of the artists . Katherine St Asaph of PopDust noted that although most pop stars release videos that draw from their personal lives , they do not make the viewer uncomfortable . The same can not be said for Spears and Rihanna , regardless of whether they have moved on from past situations , because the discussion about them has not . St Asaph also expressed that neither Spears nor Rihanna said much about the parallels to their lives , but that they do not need to -- their videos are much more effective than anything the singers could reveal in an interview . Rae Alexandra of the SF Weekly wrote that both videos feature an anti-British sentiment and that the villains in the video , Rihanna 's boyfriend and Spears ' policemen , are British , whereas Spears ' savior in her video is an American criminal . Alexandra noted that Spears and Rihanna chose to film their grittiest videos in a country with a lower crime rate than the United States . According to her , the videos continue with a tradition of xenophobic portrayals of British people as villains by American film and video directors . References to popular culture ( edit ) The video for `` We Found Love '' references popular culture in the form of films . According to James Montgomery of MTV News , its main themes are sex , drugs , and violence , which feature heavily in works by independent filmmaker Gregg Araki . Many of Araki 's films , including Totally Fucked Up ( 1993 ) , The Doom Generation ( 1995 ) and Nowhere ( 1997 ) , depict scenes of a sexual nature , drug abuse and violence as part of their narratives . `` We Found Love '' 's use of vibrant colors and imagery is reminiscent of Oliver Stone 's 1994 film Natural Born Killers , which depicts two murderers , Mickey and Mallory , on a killing spree in the southwest of the United States . The film incorporates `` nightmarish - colors '' and rear wall projected imagery , similar to that shown in `` We Found Love '' . Critics noted that the music video features visual effects that resembled those in Darren Aronofsky 's film Requiem for a Dream ( 2000 ) , which incorporates a close - up shot of a dilated pupil ; this effect was used many times in `` We Found Love '' 's video . Elements of the music video for `` We Found Love '' have been compared to the works of Britney Spears , Eminem and Madonna . The scene in which Rihanna and O'Shaughnessy blow marijuana exhalations into each other 's mouths is stylistically reminiscent of the cover artwork on English musician Tricky 's 2001 album Blowback . Rihanna 's video was compared to the video for Spears ' song `` Everytime '' ( 2004 ) . Critics noted that Rihanna lay in a bathtub and submerged her head under the water , which can be interpreted as a failed suicide attempt . In `` Everytime '' , Spears is shown as a successful singer constantly bothered by the media and paparazzi about her turbulent relationship with her boyfriend . In `` Everytime '' 's video , Spears drowns in a bathtub as a result of a concussion . Rihanna 's video also bears resemblances to that for Eminem and Rihanna 's `` Love the Way You Lie '' ( 2010 ) ; both contain lyrical and visual content about a doomed relationship and scenes of graphic violence and substance abuse . Like `` We Found Love '' , `` Love the Way You Lie '' displays scenes of a couple in various stages of undress and intimacy . `` We Found Love '' 's video includes stylistic references to Madonna 's video for `` Ray of Light '' ( 1998 ) . James Montgomery of MTV News noted that `` Ray of Light '' 's video features `` a whole lot of high - speed , time - lapse shots taken in cities around the world '' , the same technique used for the drug scenes in `` We Found Love '' .

[ "The video begins with a monologue given by fashion model Agyness Deyn. Scenes of Rihanna with her romantic interest (Dudley O'Shaughnessy) in both love and hate scenarios intersperse, as they experience mounting difficulties in their relationship. After enduring the overwhelming effects of recreational drugs and physical violence, she finds her boyfriend unconscious on the floor of his apartment, and leaves him, having had enough of the relationship. Images of the song's producer and featured artist Calvin Harris appear in outdoor DJ scenes, while the video has regular references to popular culture, such as themes of films and content of other singers' videos." ]

Illuminated miniature from the Bruges Garter Book made c. 1430 by William Bruges ( 1375 -- 1450 ) , first Garter King of Arms The Most Noble Order of the Garter is an order of chivalry founded by Edward III in 1348 and regarded as the most prestigious British order of chivalry ( though in precedence inferior to the military Victoria Cross and George Cross ) in England and the United Kingdom . It is dedicated to the image and arms of Saint George , England 's patron saint . Appointments are made at the Sovereign 's sole discretion . Membership of the Order is limited to the Sovereign , the Prince of Wales , and no more than 24 members , or Companions . The order also includes supernumerary knights and ladies ( e.g. , members of the British Royal Family and foreign monarchs ) . New appointments to the Order of the Garter are often announced on St George 's Day ( 23 April ) , as Saint George is the order 's patron saint . The order 's emblem is a garter with the motto Honi soit qui mal y pense ( Middle French : `` Shame on him who thinks ill of it '' ) in gold lettering . Members of the order wear it on ceremonial occasions .

The year is usually presumed to be 1348 ; however , the Complete Peerage , under `` The Founders of the Order of the Garter '' , states the order was first instituted on 23 April 1344 , listing each founding member as knighted in 1344 . The list includes Sir Sanchet D'Abrichecourt , who died on 20 October 1345 . Other dates from 1344 to 1351 have also been proposed . The King 's wardrobe account shows Garter habits first issued in the autumn of 1348 . Also , its original statutes required that each member of the Order already be a knight ( what would now be referred to as a knight bachelor ) and some of the initial members listed were only knighted that year . The earliest written mention of the Order is found in Tirant lo Blanch , a chivalric romance written in Catalan mainly by Valencian Joanot Martorell . It was first published in 1490 . This book devotes a chapter to the description of the origin of the Order of the Garter . List of Founder Knights ( edit ) At the time of its foundation , the Order consisted of King Edward III , together with 25 Founder Knights , listed in ascending order of stall number in St George 's Chapel : King Edward III ( 1312 -- 77 ) Edward , the Black Prince , Prince of Wales ( 1330 -- 76 ) Henry of Grosmont , Earl of Lancaster ( c. 1310 -- 61 ) Thomas de Beauchamp , 11th Earl of Warwick ( d . 1369 ) Jean de Grailly , Captal de Buch ( d . 1377 ) Ralph de Stafford , 1st Earl of Stafford ( 1301 -- 72 ) William de Montacute , 2nd Earl of Salisbury ( 1328 -- 97 ) Roger Mortimer , 2nd Earl of March ( 1328 -- 60 ) John de Lisle , 2nd Baron Lisle ( 1318 -- 56 ) Bartholomew de Burghersh , 2nd Baron Burghersh ( d . 1369 ) John de Beauchamp , 1st Baron Beauchamp ( d . 1360 ) John de Mohun , 2nd Baron Mohun ( c. 1320 -- 76 ) Sir Hugh de Courtenay ( d . 1349 ) Thomas Holland , 1st Earl of Kent ( 1314 -- 1360 ) John de Grey , 1st Baron Grey de Rotherfield ( c. 1300 -- 59 ) Sir Richard Fitz - Simon ( b . 1295 ) Sir Miles Stapleton ( d . 1364 ) Sir Thomas Wale ( d . 1352 ) Sir Hugh Wrottesley ( d . 1381 ) Sir Nele Loring ( d . 1386 ) Sir John Chandos ( d . 1369 ) Sir James Audley ( d . 1369 ) Sir Otho Holand ( d . 1359 ) Sir Henry Eam ( d. before 1360 ) Sir Sanchet D'Abrichecourt ( d . 1345 ) Sir Walter Paveley ( d . 1375 ) They are all depicted in individual portraits in the Bruges Garter Book made c. 1431 . Legendary origins ( edit ) Statutes of the Order of the Garter Various legends account for the origin of the Order . The most popular legend involves the `` Countess of Salisbury '' , whose garter is said to have slipped from her leg while she was dancing at a court ball at Calais . When the surrounding courtiers sniggered , the king picked it up and returned it to her , exclaiming , `` Honi soit qui mal y pense ! '' ( `` Shame on him who thinks ill of it ! '' ) , the phrase that has become the motto of the Order . According to another legend , King Richard I was inspired in the 12th century by St George the Martyr while fighting in the Crusades to tie garters around the legs of his knights , who subsequently won the battle . King Edward supposedly recalled the event in the 14th century when he founded the Order . This story is recounted in a letter to the Annual Register in 1774 : In Rastel 's Chronicle , I. vi . under the life of Edward III is the following curious passage : `` About the 19 yere ( sic ) of this kinge , he made a solempne feest at Wyndesore , and a greate justes and turnament , where he devysed , and perfyted substanegally , the order of the knyghtes of the garter ; howe be it some afferme that this order began fyrst by kynge Rycharde , Cure de Lyon , at the sege of the citye of Acres ; where , in his great necessyte , there were but 26 knyghtes that fyrmely and surely abode by the kynge ; where he caused all them to were thonges of blew leyther about theyr legges . And afterwarde they were called the knyghtes of the blew thonge . '' I am obliged for this passage to John Fenn , Esq ; a curious and ingenious gentleman of East - Dereham , in Norfolk , who is in possession of the most rare book whence it is taken . Hence some affirm , that the origin of the garter is to be dated from Richard I * and that it owes its pomp and splendor to Edward III . * Winstanley , in his Life of Edward III says that the original book of the institution deduces the invention from King Richard the First . The motto in fact refers to Edward 's claim to the French throne , and the Order of the Garter was created to help pursue this claim . The use of the garter as an emblem may have derived from straps used to fasten armour . Medieval scholars have pointed to a connection between the Order of the Garter and the Middle English poem , Sir Gawain and the Green Knight . In Gawain , a girdle , very similar in its erotic undertones to the garter , plays a prominent role . A rough version of the Order 's motto also appears in the text . It translates from Old French as `` Accursed be a cowardly and covetous heart . '' While the author of that poem remains disputed , there seems to be a connection between two of the top candidates and the Order of the Garter . Scholar J.P. Oakden has suggested that it is someone related to John of Gaunt , 1st Duke of Lancaster , and , more importantly , a member of the Order . Another competing theory is that the work was written for Enguerrand de Coucy , seventh Sire de Coucy . The Sire de Coucy was married to King Edward III 's daughter , Isabella , and was given admittance to the Order of the Garter on their wedding day . '' Ladies Companion of the Garter ( edit ) Soon after the founding of the Order , women were appointed `` Ladies of the Garter '' , but were not made companions . King Henry VII discontinued the practice in 1488 ; his mother , Margaret Beaufort , was the last Lady of the Garter before Queen Alexandra . Except for female sovereigns , the next Lady of the Garter named was Queen Alexandra , by her husband King Edward VII . King George V also made his consort , Queen Mary , a Lady of the Garter and King George VI subsequently did the same for his wife , Queen Elizabeth . Throughout the 20th century , women continued to be associated with the Order , but except for foreign female monarchs , they were not made companions . In 1987 , however , it became possible to install `` Ladies Companion of the Garter '' under a statute of Queen Elizabeth II . Composition ( edit ) See also : List of current Knights and Ladies of the Garter Knights Companion in the procession to St George 's Chapel for the Garter Service Members ( edit ) Membership in the Order is strictly limited and includes the Monarch , the Prince of Wales , not more than 24 companion members , and various supernumerary members . The monarch alone can grant membership . He or she is known as the Sovereign of the Garter , and the Prince of Wales is known as a Royal Knight Companion of the Garter . Male members of the Order are titled `` Knights Companion '' and female members are called `` Ladies Companion '' . Formerly , the Sovereign filled vacancies upon the nomination of the members . Each member would nominate nine candidates , of whom three had to have the rank of earl or higher , three the rank of baron or higher , and three the rank of knight or higher . The Sovereign would choose as many nominees as were necessary to fill any vacancies in the Order . He or she was not obliged to choose those who received the most nominations . Candidates were last nominated in 1860 , and appointments have since been made by the Sovereign acting alone , with no prior nominations . The statutes prescribing the former procedure were not amended , however , until 1953 . From the 18th century , the Sovereign made his or her choices on the advice of the Government . In 1946 , with the agreement of the Prime Minister Clement Attlee and the Leader of the Opposition Winston Churchill , membership of the United Kingdom 's highest ranking orders of chivalry ( the Order of the Garter , the Order of the Thistle and the dormant Order of St. Patrick ) became a personal gift of the Sovereign once again . Thus , the Sovereign personally selects Knights and Ladies Companion of the Garter , and need not act on or solicit the advice of His or Her Government .

Several supernumerary members , known as `` Royal Knights and Ladies of the Garter '' , belong to the royal family . These titles were introduced in 1786 by King George III so that his many sons would not count towards the limit on the number of companions . He created the statute of supernumerary members in 1805 so that any descendant of King George II could be installed as such a member . In 1831 , this statute was extended again to include all descendants of King George I . With the installation of Emperor Alexander I of Russia in 1813 , supernumerary membership was extended to foreign monarchs , who are known as `` Stranger Knights and Ladies of the Garter '' . Each such installation originally required the enactment of a statute ; however , a 1954 statute authorises the regular admission of Stranger Knights or Ladies without further special enactments . In lesser orders of chivalry , such foreign members would be regarded as having received honorary knighthoods . Traditionally , reigning European monarchs are admitted to the Order as Strangers . Constantine II , King of the Hellenes has not succeeded his father Paul of Greece as a member of the Order , neither during his short reign nor after being deposed . Similarly , Albert II , King of the Belgians and his son and successor Philippe are the only Belgian monarchs to date not to have been admitted to the Order . For a time , both Juliana , Queen of the Netherlands and her successor , Queen Beatrix were concurrently members of the Order as Stranger Ladies of the Garter . Juan Carlos I of Spain and his successor Felipe VI of Spain are concurrently Stranger Knights of the Garter . Akihito , Emperor of Japan is the only non-European monarch and likely the only non-Christian who is currently a member of the Order . He is the fourth ( consecutive ) Emperor of Japan to be a Stranger Knight . The first non-Christian ruler to be admitted to the Order was Abdülmecid I , Sultan of the Ottoman Empire , in 1856 as a Stranger Knight . The first , and to date only , member of the Order from South America was Pedro II , Emperor of Brazil , created a Stranger Knight in 1871 . He was a member of the House of Braganza , the ruling house of Portugal and Brazil . The first member of the Order admitted from Asia was Naser al - Din Shah Qajar , King of Persia , created a Stranger Knight in 1873 . His immediate successor was also admitted to the Order in 1903 , to be followed by the Meiji , Emperor of Japan in 1906 . The first , and to date only , member of the Order from Africa was Haile Selassie , Emperor of Ethiopia , created a Stranger Knight in 1954 . The first knight from Australasia or Oceania was Richard Gardiner Casey , Baron Casey , an Australian politician , diplomat and the 16th Governor - General of Australia , created a Knight Companion in 1969 . Subsequently , two more Australians , Sir Paul Hasluck and Sir Ninian Stephen , were appointed . Three New Zealanders have been appointed : Charles , Lord Elworthy , Sir Keith Holyoake , and Sir Edmund Hillary . There have been no appointments from North America . Degradation of members ( edit ) Henry , Duke of Newcastle - under - Lyme . Portrait by William Hoare . The Sovereign may `` degrade '' members who have committed very serious crimes , such as treason or fleeing the battlefield , or those who have taken up arms against the Sovereign . From the late 15th century , there was a formal ceremony of degradation , in which Garter King of Arms , accompanied by the rest of the heralds , proceeded to St George 's Chapel . While the Garter King of Arms read aloud the Instrument of Degradation , a herald climbed up a ladder and removed the former knight 's banner , crest , helm , and sword , throwing them down into the quire . Then the rest of the heralds kicked them down the length of the chapel , out of the doors , and into the castle ditch . The last such formal degradation was that of James , Duke of Ormonde in 1716 . During the First World War , two Royal Knights and six Stranger Knights , all monarchs or princes of enemy nations and including Wilhelm II , German Emperor and Franz Joseph , Emperor of Austria were struck off the roll of the Order or had their appointments annulled in 1915 . The banner of Victor Emmanuel III of Italy was also removed from the chapel after Italy entered World War II against the United Kingdom and her Allies . The banner of Emperor Hirohito of Japan was removed from St. George 's chapel when Japan entered World War II in 1941 , but that banner and the Japanese monarch 's knighthood were restored by Elizabeth II in 1971 , when Hirohito made a state visit to the United Kingdom . The Emperor was particularly pleased by the restoration of his banner as a Knight of the Garter . Officers ( edit ) Officers of the Order of the Garter ( left to right ) : Secretary ( barely visible ) , Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod , Garter Principal King of Arms , Register , Prelate , Chancellor . The Order has six officers : the Prelate , the Chancellor , the Register , the Garter Principal King of Arms , the Usher , and the Secretary . The offices of Prelate , Register , and Usher were created on the order 's establishment ; those of Garter Principal King of Arms and Chancellor , in the 15th century ; and that of Secretary , in the 20th century . The office of Prelate is held by the Bishop of Winchester , traditionally one of the senior bishops of the Church of England . The office of Chancellor is now held by one of the companions of the order . For most of its existence , the Bishop of Salisbury has held the office , although laymen held it from 1553 to 1671 . In 1837 , after boundary changes made Windsor Castle fall in the diocese of Oxford , the Chancellorship was transferred to the Bishop of Oxford . A century later , the Bishop of Salisbury challenged this transfer , on the grounds that the Chancellorship had been attached to his office regardless of the diocese in which the chapel of the order lay ; and that , in any event , St George 's Chapel , as a Royal Peculiar , was not under diocesan jurisdiction . The office of Chancellor was removed from the Bishop of Oxford ( the outgoing bishop , Thomas Banks Strong , had been outspoken in the abdication crisis of Edward VIII ) , and so it was withheld from his successor , Kenneth Kirk , and has since been held by one of the Knights Companion . Since 1937 , the following members have held the post of Chancellor : William , Duke of Portland ( 1937 -- 1943 ) Edward , Earl of Halifax ( 1943 -- 1959 ) Robert , Marquess of Salisbury ( 1960 -- 1972 ) Charles , Viscount Cobham ( 1972 -- 1977 ) John , Marquess of Abergavenny ( 1977 -- 1994 ) Peter , Lord Carrington ( 1994 -- 2012 ) James , Duke of Abercorn ( since 2012 ) The office of Register has been held by the Dean of Windsor since 1558 . The Garter Principal King of Arms is ex officio the senior officer of the College of Arms ( the heraldic authority of England ) , and is usually appointed from among the other officers of arms at the College . As the title suggests , Garter Principal King of Arms has specific duties as the Order 's officer of arms , attending to the companions ' crests and banners of arms , which are exhibited in the chapel . The Secretary , who acts as deputy to Garter in the ceremonial aspects of the Order , has since 1952 also been selected from the other officers of the College of Arms . The office of Usher is held by the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod , who is also the Serjeant - at - Arms of the United Kingdom House of Lords ( although his functions are more often performed there by his deputy , the Yeoman Usher ) . Military Knights of Windsor ( edit ) Main article : Military Knights of Windsor Military Knights of Windsor in the procession to the Garter Service At the founding of the Order of the Garter , 26 `` poor knights '' were appointed and attached to the Order and its chapel . This number was not always maintained , and by the 17th century , there were only thirteen such knights . King Charles II increased the number to 18 ( in large part because of funds allocated from Sir Francis Crane 's will ) after his coronation in 1660 . After the knights objected to being termed `` poor '' , King William IV redesignated them in the 19th century as the Military Knights of Windsor . The poor knights were impoverished military veterans , required to pray daily for the Knights Companion . In return , they received a salary and lodging in Windsor Castle . The knights are no longer necessarily poor , but are still military pensioners . They participate in the Order 's processions , escorting the members , and in the chapel services . However , they are not considered members of the Order . The poor knights originally wore red mantles , each of which bore St George 's Cross , but did not depict the Garter . Queen Elizabeth I replaced the mantles in the 16th and 17th centuries with blue and purple gowns , but the red mantles returned in the 17th century under King Charles I. When the knights were renamed , the mantles were abandoned . The military knights now wear the old military uniform of an `` army officer on the unattached list '' : black trousers with red stripe , a red double - breasted swallow - tailed coat , gold epaulets and brushes , a cocked hat with a plume , and a sword on a white sash . Habit and insignia ( edit ) Mantle and hat of the Order Members ( edit ) Order 's ceremonial occasions ( edit ) The garter of Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria For the Order 's ceremonial occasions , such as the annual Garter Day , the members wear elaborate vestments and accoutrements , which include : The mantle is a vestment or robe worn by members since the 15th century . Once made of wool , by the 16th century it was made of velvet . The mantle was originally purple , but varied during the 17th and 18th centuries between celestial blue , pale blue , royal blue , dark blue , violet , and ultramarine . Mantles are now dark blue and lined with white taffeta . The mantles of the Sovereign , the Prince of Wales , and Royal Knights and Ladies end in trains . The heraldic shield of St. George 's Cross encircled by the Garter is sewn onto the left shoulder of the mantle , but the Sovereign 's mantle instead has the star of the Order . Attached to the mantle over the right shoulder are a dark red velvet hood and surcoat , which have lost all function over time and appear to the modern observer simply as a splash of colour . The hat is a Tudor bonnet of black velvet with a plume of white ostrich and black heron feathers . The insignia of a knight of the Order of the Garter The collar is worn around the neck , over the mantle and is secured with white ribbons tied in bows on the shoulders . Like the mantle , it was introduced in the 15th and 16th centuries . Made of pure gold , it weighs 30 troy ounces ( 0.933 kg ) . The collar is composed of gold heraldic knots alternating with enamelled medallions , each showing a rose encircled by the Garter . During the reign of King Henry VII ( 1485 - 1509 ) , commencing at the termination of the Wars of the Roses , each garter surrounded two roses -- one red for the House of Lancaster and one white for the House of York -- but he changed the design to encircle the Tudor rose alone , a combination of both forms . Today one of the most visible representations of the collar forms part of the monarch 's heraldic achievement on the gates of Buckingham Palace . The Great George , which is worn suspended from the collar , is a colourfully enamelled ( sometimes jewelled ) three - dimensional figure of St. George the Martyr on horseback slaying a dragon . The Garter is worn on ceremonial occasions around the left calf by knights and around the left arm by ladies , and is depicted on several insignia . The Garter is a buckled dark - blue ( originally light - blue ) velvet strap , and bears the motto in gold letters . The garters of Stranger Knights and Ladies were once set with several jewels . Two styles have been used : one is a working garter where the end slips through the buckle and then is tucked in a specific way and the other style is a ' pre-made ' one that has the buckled and tucked end pre-fashioned and is fastened with a clip attachment . Up until the middle part of the 20th century , it was customary to wear Tudor style under - dress , consisting of white silk embroidered doublet , breeches , full hose , white doeskin pumps with satin bows and a sword belt with sword , under the robes . Nowadays , morning dress or a lounge suit is worn , except for coronations when Tudor under - dress is worn by the canopy - bearers . Other occasions ( edit ) The Garter `` Star '' above , and `` George '' below On other occasions when decorations are worn , the members wear simpler insignia : Prince William , Duke of Cambridge wearing Garter Riband and Star The collar is worn on designated collar days over military uniform or morning dress by members attending formal events . The collar is fastened to the shoulders with silk ribbons ( or gold safety pins when worn with morning dress ) . Since the collar signifies the Order of the Garter , members can then wear the riband of any other order to which they belong . The collar is only worn at specific occasions that warrant it . The star , which is worn pinned to the left breast , was introduced in the 17th century by King Charles I and is a colourfully enamelled depiction of the heraldic shield of St. George 's Cross , encircled by the Garter , which is itself encircled by an eight - point silver badge . Each point is depicted as a cluster of rays , with the four points of the cardinal directions longer than the intermediate ones . The stars of Stranger Knights and Ladies were once set with several jewels . Since the Order of the Garter is the senior order of the United Kingdom , a member will wear its star above the others ( up to three ) that he or she holds . There are examples in the Royal Collection of the stars of foreign orders given George V surrounded with the Garter , e.g. the Prussian Order of the Black Eagle given to George V when Prince of Wales . https://www.royalcollection.org.uk/collection/441498/order-of-the-black-eagle-prussia-george-vs-star-with-garter The riband is a four - inch ( 10.16 cm ) - wide sash worn over the left shoulder , or pinned beneath it , to the right hip , and was introduced in the 17th century by King Charles I . The riband 's colour has varied over the years : it was originally light blue , but was a dark shade under the Hanoverian monarchs . In 1950 , the colour was fixed as `` kingfisher blue '' . A member will wear only one riband , even if he or she belongs to several orders . The riband is not used when the collar is worn . The exact shade of the riband varies from monarch to monarch . The badge is worn suspended from a small gold link from the riband at the right hip , and is sometimes known as `` the Lesser George '' . Like the Great George , the badge shows St. George the Martyr on horseback slaying a dragon , but it is flatter and gold . In earlier times , the badge was worn from a ribbon tied around the neck . On the death of a member , the Lesser George and breast star are returned personally to the Sovereign by the former member 's nearest male relative , and the other insignia to the Central Chancery of the Orders of Knighthood , save the riband , mantle and hat . Officers ( edit ) For ceremonial occasions of the Order , the officers wear the following garments and accessories : The mantles for the prelate and chancellor are dark blue like those of the members ( as a member , the chancellor wears a member 's mantle ) , but the mantles for the other officers are dark red . All mantles are embroidered with a heraldic shield of St George 's Cross . For Garter ceremonies , Garter Principal King of Arms wears this red mantle rather than the tabard of the royal arms worn for other State ceremonial occasions . Officers wear badges of office suspended from a chain worn around the neck . The badge for the prelate shows the Lesser George encircled by the Garter , which is surmounted by a bishop 's mitre . The badge for the chancellor is a rose encircled by the Garter . The badge for the register is two crossed quills over a book encircled by the Garter surmounted by a crown . The badge for Garter Principal King of Arms is the royal arms impaled with St George 's Cross encircled by the Garter and surmounted by a crown . The badge for the usher is a knot ( like those on the collars of the companions of the order ) encircled by the Garter and surmounted by a crown . The badge for the secretary shows two crossed quills in front of a rose and encircled by the Garter surmounted by a crown . The chancellor carries a purse , which is embroidered with the royal arms impaled by the Cross of St. George . The purse contains the seal of the Order . Garter Principal King of Arms carries his baton of office . The usher carries his staff of office , the Black Rod . Chapel ( edit ) Banners of the members of the order in St. George 's Chapel St George 's Chapel in Windsor is the mother church of the Order of the Garter . Special service are held annually in June . The Order of the Garter once held services at the chapel , but they became rare in the 18th century . The annual Garter Services , discontinued in 1805 , were revived by King George VI in 1948 and have become an annual event . During their lifetime , all members of the Order of the Garter are entitled to display their heraldic crests and banners in St. George 's Chapel . While the Garter stall plates ( see below ) stay in the chapel permanently , the crests and banners of deceased knights are , following presentation at the High Altar , removed from the chapel . Sometimes they are then given to institutions that were connected with the late knight , or kept privately depending on family wishes . Originally after a knight 's death , the crests became the property of Garter King of Arms , and these crests have been the subject of occasional exhibitions in the Earl Marshal 's Court at the College of Arms . Garter stall plates are small enamelled and engraved brass plates located in St George 's Chapel as memorials to Knights of the Garter . They are inscribed with the knight 's name , and generally with his titles , offices , and motto . In most cases his heraldic achievement is depicted . Investiture and installation ( edit ) Edward VII invests Haakon VII of Norway with the insignia of the Order of the Garter in the Throne Room of Windsor Castle , November 1906 . Painting by Sydney Prior Hall . Each June , on Garter Day , the members of the Order , wearing their habits and garter insignia , meet at Windsor Castle . When any new Knights of the Garter are due for installation , an investiture ceremony is held in the Throne Room of Windsor Castle on the morning of Garter Day . This ceremony is attended by all Knights Companions of the order , wearing the ceremonial habits and garter insignia , and also by their wives . The wording of the oath sworn by the new knights at this ceremony and of the Admonitions addressed to them in turn by the prelate and chancellor of the order when the several items of insignia are placed upon them are extremely similar to the traditions of the past . At the investiture ceremony the Admonitions are read in turn by the prelate and chancellor of the order and several insignia are offered on a cushion to the Sovereign by Garter King of Arms , Black Rod , and the secretary of the order , in turn , so that the Sovereign may perform the ceremony of investiture . Two senior knights of the order assist the Sovereign in these ceremonies by placing the garter around the left leg of the new knight and by assisting the Sovereign in the fastening of the riband and Lesser George about the body of the new knight , and in the adjustment of the mantle and the collar . After the investiture ceremony at Windsor is concluded , a state luncheon is held in the Banqueting Room . This is attended by the royal family , by all the Companions of the Order and their spouses , and by the Officers of the Order . After the banquet all the knights and ladies of the order , together with the prelate , chancellor and other officers of the order , in their mantles and ceremonial robes , led by the Military Knights of Windsor , move in procession , watched by a great crowd of spectators , through the castle , down the hill , which is lined with troops , to Saint George 's Chapel for a worship service , before which the formal installation of the new knights takes place . While knights continued to be invested with their ensigns , the formal installation of knights at St. George 's Chapel ceased in 1805 . Installation , along with the annual Garter service , returned in 1948 ; on the occasion on the order 's 600th anniversary . Precedence and privileges ( edit ) Members of the order may encircle their heraldic arms with the Garter . Members are assigned positions in the order of precedence , coming before all others of knightly rank , and above baronets . The wives , sons , daughters and daughters - in - law of Knights Companion are also assigned precedence . Relatives of Ladies Companion are not , however , assigned any special positions . ( Generally , individuals can derive precedence from their fathers or husbands , but not from their mothers or wives . ) The Chancellor is also assigned precedence , but except for the period between 1553 and 1671 when the office was held by a layman who was not necessarily a member of the Order , this precedence has been purely theoretical . As a member of the Order , the Chancellor has a higher precedence than that attached to the office , and when the office was filled by a diocesan bishop of the Church of England , the holder again had a higher precedence by virtue of that office than any that the chancellorship could bestow . Knights Companion prefix `` Sir '' and Ladies Companion prefix `` Lady '' to their forenames . Wives of Knights Companion may prefix `` Lady '' to their surnames , but no corresponding privilege exists for husbands of Ladies Companion . Such forms are not used by royalty , peers , peeresses , or Anglican clergymen , who instead use only the post-nominal letters . Knights and Ladies Companion use the post-nominal letters `` KG '' and `` LG '' respectively . When an individual is entitled to use multiple post-nominal letters , those of the Order of the Garter appear before all others , except `` Bt '' or `` Bart '' ( Baronet ) , `` VC '' ( Victoria Cross ) and `` GC '' ( George Cross ) . In their heraldic achievements , members of the Order of the Garter may encircle their escutcheon with the Garter . Knights and Ladies Companion are also entitled to receive heraldic supporters , a privilege granted to few other private individuals . While some families claim supporters by ancient use , and others have been granted them as a special reward , only members of the Royal Family , peers , Knights and Ladies Companion of the Garter , Knights and Ladies of the Thistle , and Knights and Dames Grand Cross of the junior orders of chivalry are automatically entitled to them .

Occupational fatality
Occupational fatality - wikipedia Occupational fatality Jump to : navigation , search The examples and perspective in this article may not represent a worldwide view of the subject . You may improve this article , discuss the issue on the talk page , or create a new article , as appropriate . ( May 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) An occupational fatality is a death that occurs while a person is at work or performing work related tasks . Occupational fatalities are also commonly called `` occupational deaths '' or `` work - related deaths / fatalities '' and can occur in any industry or occupation . Contents ( hide ) 1 Common causes 2 Risk factors 3 Demographics 3.1 Age 3.2 Gender 4 Prevention 5 Research , regulation , reporting and recommendations 6 References 7 External links Common causes ( edit ) Common causes of occupational fatalities include falls , machine - related incidents , motor vehicle accidents , electrocution , falling objects , homicides and suicides . Occupational fatalities can be prevented . In the United States in 2006 , 41 % of occupational fatalities occurred during a transportation incident , 17 % occurred after a worker came into contact with an object or equipment , and 15 % occurred as a result of a fall . The remaining 12 % of deaths were the result of chemical or environmental exposures ( 9 % ) and fires or explosions ( 3 % ) . Lastly , 15 % of all occupational fatalities are the consequences of assault and other violent acts in the workplace . Number and rate of fatal occupational injuries , by industry sector , 2013 in the United States . Selected occupations with high fatality rates , 2011 , in the United States . Risk factors ( edit ) Many factors contribute to a fatal incident at work . Lack of appropriate employee training and failure to provide and enforce the use of safety equipment are frequent contributors to occupational fatalities . In some cases , employees do receive safety training , but language barriers prevent the employee from fully understanding the safety procedures . Incidents can also be the result of insufficient supervision of inexperienced employees or employees who have taken on a responsibility for which they are not properly trained . Poor worksite organization , staffing and scheduling issues , unworkable policies and practices and workplace culture can all play a role in occupational fatalities . An incident leading to an occupational fatality is generally not the fault of a single person , but the result of a combination of many human and environmental factors . Demographics ( edit ) Age ( edit ) Although all workers are at risk for occupational fatalities , elderly workers age 65 and older are roughly three times more likely to die at work . Hispanic workers die on the job at a higher rate than non-Hispanic workers . Men account for 92 % of occupational deaths . Gender ( edit ) The majority of occupational deaths occur among men . In one US study , 93 % of deaths on the job involved men , with a death rate approximately 11 times higher than women . The industries with the highest death rates are mining , agriculture , forestry , fishing , and construction , all of which employ more men than women . Deaths of members in the military is currently above 90 % men . Prevention ( edit ) Occupational fatalities are preventable . Prevention of occupational fatalities depends on the understanding that worker safety is not only the responsibility of the worker , but is the primary responsibility of the employer . Employers must train all employees in the appropriate safety procedures and maintain a safe working environment so that fatalities are less likely to occur . An occupational fatality is not just the fault of the deceased worker ; instead , it is the combination of unsafe work environments , insufficient safety training , and negligible employee supervision that contribute fatal incidents . As a result , it is imperative that an employer address all the potential ( risk ) factors at the workplace and educate all employees in safe work practices and risk awareness . In order to perform adequate risk assessment of injuries that occur in the workplace , health and safety professionals use resources such as the Haddon Matrix . This model assesses the risks leading up to , during , and after a death in order to prevent future incidents of a similar nature . Employers and employees can learn how to identify risk factors in their work environment in order to avoid incidents that may result in death . Research , regulation , reporting and recommendations ( edit ) The regulatory organization for occupational injury control and prevention is the Occupational Safety and Health Administration ( OSHA ) . Formed in 1970 as an agency of the United States Department of Labor under the Occupational Safety and Health Act , OSHA exists to prevent occupational injuries and deaths by creating and enforcing standards in the workplace . OSHA standards address employee training programs , safety equipment , employer record keeping and proper maintenance of the work environment . Failure to comply with the OSHA standards can result in workplace inspections and legal action including citations and fines . In very severe cases of employer misconduct , OSHA can `` red flag '' an operation and send the employer to legal court . To regulate the millions of workplaces in the United States , OSHA requires that all employers maintain a record of occupational injuries , illnesses and fatalities . Occupational fatalities must be reported to OSHA within eight hours of the incident . Failure to do so can result in legal action against the employer . Employers are responsible for staying current on OSHA standards and enforcing them in their own workplace . State OSHA organizations exist in twenty - eight states and are required to have the same or more rigorous standards than the federal OSHA standards . In these states , employers must abide by their state 's regulations . It is not the responsibility of the employee to stay current on the OSHA standards . In addition to OSHA , the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health ( NIOSH ) was formed under the Occupational Safety and Health Act as a federal research agency to formulate industry recommendations for health and safety . NIOSH is part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) in the United States Department of Health and Human Services ( DHHS ) . NIOSH analyzes workplace injury and illness data from all fifty states as well as provides support for state - based projects in occupational health and safety . Under NIOSH , the Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation ( FACE ) Program tracks and investigates occupational fatalities in order to provide recommendations for prevention . A voluntary program for individual states created in 1989 , FACE is active in California , Iowa , Kentucky , Massachusetts , Michigan , New Jersey , New York , Oregon , and Washington . The primary responsibilities of the state FACE programs are to track occupational fatalities in their state , investigate select fatalities , and provide recommendations for prevention . As part of the prevention efforts , FACE programs also produce extensive prevention education materials that are disseminated to employees , employers , unions , and state organizations . Nationally , the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries ( CFOI ) , within the U.S. Department of Labor , compiles national fatality statistics . CFOI is the key , comprehensive system in the surveillance of occupational fatalities in the United States . Many other non-governmental organizations also work to prevent occupational fatalities . Trade associations and unions play an active role in protecting workers and disseminating prevention information . The National Safety Council also works to prevent occupational fatalities as well as provide resources to employers and employees .

Viking influence in the area commenced in the late 8th century , and hostility between the Scandinavian Earls of Orkney and the emerging thalassocracy of the Kingdom of the Isles , the rulers of Ireland , Dál Riata and Alba , and intervention by the crown of Norway were recurring themes . Scandinavian - held territories included the Northern Isles of Orkney and Shetland , the Hebrides , the islands of the Firth of Clyde and associated mainland territories including Caithness and Sutherland . The historical record from Scottish sources is weak , with the Irish annals and the later Norse sagas , of which the Orkneyinga Saga is the principal source of information , sometimes contradictory although modern archaeology is beginning to provide a broader picture of life during this period . There are various competing theories that have addressed the early colonisation process , although it is clear that the Northern Isles were the first to be conquered by Vikings and the last to be relinquished by the Norwegian crown . Thorfinn Sigurdsson 's rule in the 11th century included expansion well into north mainland Scotland and this may have been the zenith of Scandinavian influence . The obliteration of pre-Norse names in the Hebrides and Northern Isles , and their replacement with Norse ones was almost total although the emergence of alliances with the native Gaelic speakers produced a powerful Norse - Gael culture that had wide influence in Argyll , Galloway and beyond . Scottish influence increased from the 13th century on . In 1231 , an unbroken line of Norse earls of Orkney ended and the title was since held by Scottish nobles . An ill - fated expedition by Haakon Haakonarson later in that century led to the relinquishing of the islands of the west to the Scottish Crown and in the mid-15th century Orkney and Shetland were also transferred to Scottish rule . The negative view of Viking activities held in popular imagination notwithstanding , Norse expansion may have been a factor in the emergence of the Gaelic kingdom of Alba , the forerunner of modern Scotland , and the trading , political , cultural and religious achievements of the later periods of Norse rule were significant . An example of a page from the Orkneyinga Saga , as it appears in the 14th century Flateyjarbók Contents ( hide ) 1 Geography 2 History 2.1 Colonisation process 2.2 Early Viking incursions 3 Subdivisions 3.1 Norðreyjar 3.2 Caithness and Sutherland 3.3 Suðreyjar 3.4 Western coast 3.5 South - West Scotland 3.6 Eastern Scotland 4 Politics and Governance 4.1 Internal politics 4.2 Relations with Pictland , Strathclyde and Alba 5 Religion , culture and economy 6 Present day influence 7 References 8 Further reading Geography ( edit ) The Northern Isles , known to the Norse as the Norðreyjar , are the closest parts of the United Kingdom to Norway and these islands experienced the first and most long - lasting Norse influence of any part of Scotland . Shetland is some 300 kilometres ( 190 mi ) due west of Norway and in favourable conditions could be reached in 24 hours from Hordaland in a Viking longship . Orkney is 80 kilometres ( 50 mi ) further to the south west . Some 16 kilometres ( 10 mi ) due south of Orkney is the Scottish mainland . The two most northerly provinces of mainland Scotland , Caithness and Sutherland , fell under Norse control at an early date . South of there the entire western seaboard of mainland Scotland from Wester Ross to Kintyre was also subject to significant Scandinavian influence . The Suðreyjar , or `` Southern Isles '' include : The Hebrides or Western Isles comprising : The Outer Hebrides , aka the `` Long Island '' to the west , separated from the northern Inner Hebrides by the waters of the Minch . These islands are some 180 kilometres ( 110 mi ) west of Orkney . The Inner Hebrides including Skye , Islay , Jura , Mull and Iona . The islands of the Firth of Clyde some 140 kilometres ( 87 mi ) to the south , the largest of which are Bute and Arran . The Isle of Man , located in the Irish Sea equidistantly from modern England , Ireland , Scotland and Wales The total distance from the southern tip of the Isle of Man to the Butt of Lewis , the northern extremity of the Outer Hebrides , is approximately 515 kilometres ( 320 mi ) . This entire region became dominated by Norse culture for much of the period under consideration . For example , it is likely that the Norse language became as dominant throughout the Inner Hebrides as it did on Lewis during the 10th and 11th centuries . There was also significant direct Norse influence exerted in Galloway in south west Scotland and for much of the period , up until the 1266 Treaty of Perth , Norwegian and Danish foreign policy and the activities of independent or semi-independent Norse rulers of the above parts of Scandinavian - dominated Scotland had a powerful influence on the affairs of Scotland as a whole . History ( edit ) Contemporary documentation of the Viking period of Scottish history is very weak . The presence of the monastery on Iona led to this part of Scotland being relatively well recorded from the mid-6th to the mid-9th century . But from 849 on , when Columba 's relics were removed in the face of Viking incursions , written evidence from local sources all but vanishes for three hundred years . The sources for information about the Hebrides and much of northern Scotland from the 8th to the 11th century are thus almost exclusively Irish , English or Norse . The main Norse text is the Orkneyinga Saga , which was written in the early 13th century by an unknown Icelander . The English and Irish sources are more contemporary , but may have `` led to a southern bias in the story '' , especially as much of the Hebridean archipelago became Norse - speaking during this period . Dates should therefore be regarded as approximate throughout . The archaeological record for this period is relatively scant , although improving . Toponymy provides significant information about the Scandinavian presence and examples of Norse runes provide further useful evidence . There is a significant corpus of material from the Gaelic oral tradition that relates to this period , but its value is questionable . Language and personal names provide some difficulties . The former is an important indicator of culture but there is very little direct evidence for its use in specific circumstances during the period under consideration . Pictish , Middle Irish and Old Norse would certainly have been spoken and Woolf ( 2007 ) suggests that a significant degree of linguistic balkanisation took place . As a result , single individuals often appear in sources under a variety of different names . Colonisation process ( edit ) Scholarly interpretations of the period `` have led to widely divergent reconstructions of Viking Age Scotland '' especially in the early period and Barrett ( 2008 ) has identified four competing theories , none of which he regards as proven . The Gulf of Corryvreckan between Jura and Scarba . According to tradition `` Prince Breacan of Lochlann '' was shipwrecked there with a fleet of fifty ships . The traditional explanation is the earldom hypothesis . This assumes a period of Norse expansion into the Northern Isles and the creation of an aristocratic dynasty that lasted well into the Medieval period , which exerted considerable influence in western Scotland and Mann into the 11th century . This version of events is essentially as told by the Norse sagas and is supported by some archaeological evidence although it has been criticised for exaggerating Orcadian influence in the Suðreyar . The second of these theories is the genocide hypothesis , which asserts that the aboriginal populations of the Northern and Western Isles were eradicated and replaced wholesale with settlers of Scandinavian stock . The strength of this argument is the almost total replacement of pre-existing place names by those of Norse origin throughout much of the region . Its weakness is that the place name evidence is from a relatively late date and the nature of this transition remains controversial . Genetic studies show that Shetlanders have almost identical proportions of Scandinavian matrilineal and patrilineal ancestry , suggesting that the islands were settled by both men and women in equal measure . The Scottish islands in relation to nearby territories and states . The pagan reaction hypothesis proposed by Bjorn Mhyre suggests a long tradition of mobility amongst the various populations of the North Atlantic seaboard and that the expansion of Christian missions resulted in ethnic tensions that led to or exacerbated Viking expansion . There is some evidence of such mobility , such as Irish missionary activities in Iceland and Faroe Islands in the 8th century , but little that is conclusive . The fourth suggestion is the Laithlind or Lochlann hypothesis . This word appears in various forms in the early Irish literature and is usually assumed to refer to Norway itself , although some have preferred to locate it in the Norse - dominated parts of Scotland . Donnchadh Ó Corráin is a proponent of this view and claims that a substantial part of Scotland -- the Northern and Western Isles and large areas of the coastal mainland -- were conquered by the Vikings in the first quarter of the 9th century and that a Viking kingdom was set up there earlier than the middle of the century . Essentially a variant of the earldom hypothesis , there is little archaeological evidence in its favour , although it is clear that extensive Viking incursions on the Irish coasts were supported by a presence of some kind in the Hebrides , even if the date the latter became prominent is far from certain . As Ó Corráin himself admits `` when and how the Vikings conquered and occupied the Isles is unknown , perhaps unknowable '' . Early Viking incursions ( edit ) Norse contacts with Scotland certainly predate the first written records in the 8th century , although their nature and frequency are unknown . Excavations at Norwick on the island of Unst in Shetland indicate that Scandinavian settlers had reached there , perhaps as early as the mid 7th century , consistent with dates produced for Viking levels at Old Scatness . From 793 onwards repeated raids by Vikings on the British Isles are recorded . `` All the islands of Britain '' were devastated in 794 with Iona being sacked in 802 and 806 . ( These attacks on Christian settlements in the islands of the west were not new . In the 6th century Tiree was raided by Pictish forces , Tory Island was attacked in the early 7th century by a `` marine fleet '' and Donnán of Eigg and 52 companions were murdered by Picts on Eigg in 617 . ) Various named Viking leaders , who were probably based in Scotland , appear in the Irish annals : Soxulfr in 837 , Turges in 845 and Hákon in 847 . The king of Fortriu Eógan mac Óengusa and the king of Dál Riata Áed mac Boanta were among the dead in a major defeat to the Vikings in 839 . Another early reference to the Norse presence in the Irish records is that there was a king of `` Viking Scotland '' whose heir , Thórir , brought an army to Ireland in 848 . Caittil Find was a reported leader of the Gallgáedil fighting in Ireland in 857 . The Frankish Annales Bertiniani may record the conquest of the Inner Hebrides by Vikings in 847 . Amlaíb Conung , who died in 874 , is described as the `` son of the king of Lochlainn '' in the Fragmentary Annals of Ireland also suggesting an early date for an organised kingdom of Viking Scotland . In the same source Amlaíb is also recorded as having gone to the aid of his father Gofraidh who was under assault from Vikings in Lochlainn , circa 872 . Gofraidh died in 873 and may have been succeeded by his son Ímar who also died that year . A lament for Áed mac Cináeda , a Pictish king who died in 878 , suggests Kintyre may have been lost to his kingdom at that time . The Isle of Man may also have been taken by the Norse in 877 and was certainly held by them by 900 . Subdivisions ( edit ) Norðreyjar ( edit ) Brough of Birsay The Northern Isles were `` Pictish in culture and speech '' prior to the Norse incursions , and although it is recorded that Orkney was `` destroyed '' by King Bridei in 682 it is not likely that the Pictish kings exerted a significant degree of ongoing control over island affairs . According to the Orkneyinga Saga , about 872 Harald Fairhair became King of a united Norway and many of his opponents fled to the islands of Scotland . Harald pursued his enemies and incorporated the Northern Isles into his kingdom in 875 and then , perhaps a little over a decade later , the Hebrides as well . The following year the local Viking chieftains of the Hebrides rebelled . Harald then sent Ketill Flatnose to subdue them . Ketill achieved this quickly but then declared himself an independent `` King of the Isles '' , a title he retained for the rest of his life . Hunter ( 2000 ) states that Ketill was `` in charge of an extensive island realm and , as a result , sufficiently prestigious to contemplate the making of agreements and alliances with other princelings '' . According to the Landnámabók Kettil became ruler of a region already settled by Scandinavians . Some scholars believe that this entire story is apocryphal and based on the later voyages of Magnus Barelegs . For example , Woolf ( 2007 ) suggests that his appearance in the sagas `` looks very much like a story created in later days to legitimise Norwegian claims to sovereignty in the region '' and suggests an early 11th - century creation of the earldom of Orkney , prior to which local warlords competed for influence with one another and local populations of farmers . Nonetheless , the Norse tradition states that Rognvald Eysteinsson received Orkney and Shetland from Harald as an earldom as reparation for the death of his son in battle in Scotland , and then passed the earldom on to his brother Sigurd the Mighty . Sigurd 's line barely survived him and it was Torf - Einarr , Rognvald 's son by a slave , who founded a dynasty that controlled the Northern Isles for centuries after his death . He was succeeded by his son Thorfinn Turf - Einarsson and during this time the deposed Norwegian King Eric Bloodaxe often used Orkney as a raiding base before being killed in 954 . Thorfinn 's death and presumed burial at the broch of Hoxa , on South Ronaldsay , then led to a long period of dynastic strife . Whatever the historical details , it seems likely that Orkney and Shetland were being rapidly absorbed into Norse culture by this time . The evidence of toponymy and language is unequivocal . Placenames in Orkney with a Celtic derivation are few in number and it is clear that Norn , a local version of Old Norse , was widely spoken by the inhabitants into historic times . Norn was also spoken in Shetland and evidence for Pictish elements in placenames is virtually non-existent , the three island names of Fetlar , Unst and Yell excepted . Jarlshof in Shetland contains the most extensive remains of a Viking site visible anywhere in Britain and it is believed that the Norse inhabited the site continuously from the 9th to the 14th centuries . Amongst the many important finds are drawings scratched on slate of dragon - prowed ships and a bronze - gilt harness mounting made in Ireland in the 8th or 9th centuries . Brough of Birsay in Orkney is another important archaeological site , which like Jarlshof has a continuity of settlement spanning the Pictish and Norse periods . There is a remarkable collection of 12th - century runic inscriptions inside Maeshowe . Caithness and Sutherland ( edit ) The Old Man of Hoy , a prominent landmark on the sea journey from Stromness on Mainland Orkney to Caithness In early Irish literature Shetland is referred to as Inse Catt -- `` the Isles of Cats '' , which may have been the pre-Norse inhabitants ' name for these islands . The Cat tribe certainly occupied parts of the northern Scottish mainland and their name can be found in Caithness , and in the Gaelic name for Sutherland ( Cataibh , meaning `` among the Cats '' ) . There is limited evidence that Caithness may have had an intermediate phase of Gaelic - speaking control between the Pictish era and the Norse takeover , but if it existed it is likely to have been short - lived . Sigurd Eysteinsson and Thorstein the Red moved on northern Scotland , conquering large areas variously described in the sagas as constituting all of Caithness and Sutherland and possibly including territory in Ross and even Moray during the last decade of the 9th century . The Orkneyinga Saga relates how the former defeated the Pict Máel Brigte Tusk but died from an unusual post-battle injury . Thorfinn Torf - Einarsson married into the native aristocracy and his son , Skuli Thorfinnsson , is recorded as having sought the support of the King of Scots in the 10th century in pursuing his claim as Mormaer of Caithness . Njáls saga relates that Sigurd the Stout was the ruler of `` Ross and Moray , Sutherland and the Dales '' of Caithness and it is possible that in the late 10th century the Scots kings were in alliance with the Earl of Orkney against the Mormaer of Moray . Thorfinn Sigurdsson expanded his father 's realm south beyond Sutherland and by the 11th century the Norwegian crown had come to accept that Caithness was held by the Earls of Orkney as a fiefdom from the Kings of Scotland although its Norse character was retained throughout the 13th century . Raghnall mac Gofraidh was granted Caithness after assisting the Scots king in a conflict with Harald Maddadson , an earl of Orkney in the early 13th century . This joint earldom ceased after 1375 and the Pentland Firth became the border between Scotland and Norway . No Norse place names have been found on the northern Scottish mainland south of Beauly and so far no archaeological evidence of Norse activity has been found in the north - west mainland . Suðreyjar ( edit ) Norse Scottish island possessions in the 12th century . The `` Viking Canal '' leaving Loch na h - Airde , Rubha an Dùnain . Like the Northern Isles , the Outer Hebrides and the northern Inner Hebrides were predominantly Pictish in the early 9th century . By contrast , the southern Inner Hebrides formed part of the Gaelic kingdom of Dál Riata . The obliteration of pre-Norse names in the Outer Hebrides and in Coll , Tiree and Islay in the Inner Hebrides is almost total and there is little continuity of style between Pictish pottery in the north and that of the Viking period . The similarities that do exist suggests the later pots may have been made by Norse who had settled in Ireland , or Irish slaves . There are frequent references in early Icelandic history to slaves from Ireland and the Hebrides , but none from Orkney . Gaelic certainly continued to exist as a spoken language in the southern Hebrides throughout the settlement period , but place name evidence suggests it had a lowly status and Norse may have survived as a spoken language until the 16th century in the Outer Hebrides . There is no evidence of any direct Norwegian rule in the area other than a few brief occupations although the written record is weak and no contemporary records of the Norse period from the Outer Hebrides exist . It is however known that Hebrides were taxed using the Ounceland system and evidence from Bornais suggests that settlers there may have been more prosperous than families of a similar status in the Northern Isles , possibly due to a more relaxed political regime . Latterly , the Hebrides sent eight representatives from Lewis and Harris and Skye and another eight from the southern Hebrides to the Tynwald parliament on Man . Colonsay and Oronsay have produced important pagan Norse burial grounds . An 11th - century cross slab decorated with Irish and Ringerike Viking art on Islay was found in 1838 . Rubha an Dùnain , today an uninhabited peninsula to the south of the Cuillin hills on Skye , contains the small Loch na h - Airde , which is connected to the sea by a short artificial canal . This loch was an important site for maritime activity for many centuries , spanning the Viking and later periods of Scottish clan rule . There is a stone - built quay and a system to maintain constant water levels . Boat timbers discovered there have been dated to the 12th century . Only three rune stones are known from the west coast of Scotland , on Christian memorials found on Barra , Inchmarnock and Iona . In the Firth of Clyde , Norse burials have been found on Arran , although not Bute and place name evidence suggests a settlement pattern that was much less well - developed than in the Hebrides . On the mainland coast there is cluster of Norse place names around Largs and an ornate silver brooch was found on a hillside near Hunterston that is of likely 7th - century Irish origin but with a 10th - century runic inscription . Five Hogback monuments found in Govan hint at Scandinavian enclaves inland . The Isle of Man ( which was absorbed into Scotland from 1266 until the 14th century ) was dominated by the Norse - Gaels from an early date and from 1079 onwards by the Crovan dynasty as attested by the Chronicles of Mann and evidenced by the numerous Manx Runestones and Norse place names . The modern - day Diocese of Sodor and Man retains the centuries - old name . Western coast ( edit ) The Port an Eilean Mhòir ship burial site in Ardnamurchan , with the Small Isles and Skye in the distance South of Sutherland there is considerable place name evidence of Norse settlement along the entire western coast , although unlike on the islands the settlement in the south seems to have been less prolonged and undertaken in tandem with pre-existing settlement rather than replacing it entirely . The distinction between the Innse Gall ( islands of the foreigners ) and the Airer Goidel ( coastland of the Gael ) is further suggestive of a distinction between island and mainland at an early date . In Wester Ross most of the Gaelic names that exist on the coastline today are of likely Medieval rather than pre-Norse origin and a now - lost charter refers to the mainland village of Glenelg opposite Skye as having been in the possession of the king of Man . As in Orkney and Shetland , Pictish seems to have been entirely replaced wherever the Norse encountered it . In the 9th century the first references to the Gallgáedil ( i.e. `` foreign Gaels '' ) appear . This term was variously used in succeeding centuries to refer to individuals of mixed Scandinavian - Celtic descent and / or culture who became dominant in west and south - west Scotland , parts of northern England and the isles . This alliance between the two cultures , which also took place in Ireland , may have been instrumental in saving the Gaels of Dál Riata from the fate of the Picts in the north and west . Evidence for Norse settlement in mainland Argyll is limited although the Port an Eilean Mhòir ship burial in Ardnamurchan is the first boat burial site to be discovered on the mainland of Britain . South - west Scotland ( edit ) By the mid 10th century Amlaíb Cuarán controlled The Rhinns and the region gets the modern name of Galloway from the mixture of Viking and Gaelic Irish settlement that produced the Gall - Gaidel . Magnus Barelegs is said to have `` subdued the people of Galloway '' in the 11th century and Whithorn seems to have been a centre of Hiberno - Norse artisans who traded around the Irish Sea by the end of the first millennium . However , the place name , written and archaeological evidence of extensive Norse ( as opposed to Norse - Gael ) settlement in the area is not convincing . The ounceland system seems to have become widespread down the west coast including much of Argyll and this is just as true of most of the south west apart from land adjacent to the inner Solway Firth . In Dumfries and Galloway the place name evidence is complex and of mixed Gaelic , Norse and Danish influence , the last most likely stemming from contact with the extensive Danish holdings in northern England . One feature of the area is the number of names with a `` kirk '' prefix followed by a saint 's name such as Kirkoswald . Interpretation of this is not certain but it is also indicative of a mixed Gaelic / Norse population . Eastern Scotland ( edit ) The ruins of Dunnottar Castle There is no evidence of permanent Viking settlement on the east coast south of the Moray Firth , or of Norse burials , although raids and even invasions certainly occurred . Dunnottar was taken during the reign of Domnall mac Causantín and the Orkneyinga saga records an attack on the Isle of May , by Sweyn Asleifsson and Margad Grimsson : They sailed south off Scotland until they came to Máeyar . There was a monastery , the head of which was an abbot , by name , Baldwin . Swein and his men were detained there seven nights by stress of bad weather . They said they had been sent by Earl Rögnvald to the King of Scots . The monks suspected their tale , and thinking they were pirates , sent to the mainland for men . When Swein and his comrades became aware of this , they went hastily aboard their ship , after having plundered much treasure from the monastery . Place name evidence of Scandinavian settlement is very limited on the east coast and in the south - east Anglian was the predominant influence during this period of history . Politics and governance ( edit ) Internal politics ( edit ) The first phase of Norse expansion was that of war bands seeking plunder and the creation of new settlements . The second phase involved the integration of these settlers into organised political structures of which the most prominent in the early part were the Earls of Orkney in the north and the Uí Ímair in the south . Even if the commencement of a formal earldom of Orkney is a matter of discussion ( see above ) there is little doubt that the institution experienced continuity thereafter . Until the mid to late 11th century the Earls of Orkney and Kings of the Western Isles were probably independent rulers . The imposition of direct Norwegian rule at the end of this century brought this to a close in the north and unusually , from c. 1100 onwards the Norse jarls of the Northern Isles owed allegiance both to Norway for Orkney and to the Scottish crown through their holdings as Earls of Caithness . In 1231 the line of Norse earls , unbroken since Rognvald Eysteinsson , ended with Jon Haraldsson 's murder in Thurso . The Earldom of Caithness was granted to Magnus , second son of the Earl of Angus , whom Haakon IV of Norway confirmed as Earl of Orkney in 1236 . In 1379 the earldom passed to the Sinclair family , who were also barons of Roslin near Edinburgh although Orkney and Shetland remained part of Norway for a century more . The situation in the Suðreyar was more complex . Different kings may have ruled over very different areas and few of them can be seen as exerting any kind of close control over this `` far - flung sea kingdom '' . The Uí Ímair were certainly a powerful force from the late 9th to the early 11th century with dynasts such as Amlaíb Cuarán and Gofraid mac Arailt claiming kingship of the Isles . Norse sources also list various rulers such as jarls Gilli , Sigurd the Stout , Håkon Eiriksson and Thorfinn the Mighty as rulers over the Hebrides who were vassals of the Kings of Norway or Denmark . The dates from the Irish and Norse sources do not significantly overlap , but it is not clear if these are records of competing empires , or reflect Uí Ímar influence in the south and direct Norse rule in the north , or both . Furthermore , two records in the Annals of Innisfallen may suggest that the Western Isles were not `` organised into a kingdom or earldom '' at this time but rather that they were `` ruled by assemblies of freeholders who regularly elected lawmen to preside over their public affairs '' . The Annals of the Four Masters entries for 962 and 974 hint at a similar arrangement . Crawford ( 1987 ) suggests that influence from the south rather than the north was `` usually predominant '' whilst admitting that the islands probably formed `` groups of more or less independent communities '' . Godred Crovan became the ruler of Dublin and Mann from 1079 and from the early years of the 12th century the Crovan dynasty asserted themselves and ruled as `` Kings of Mann and the Isles '' for the next half century . The kingdom was than sundered due to the actions of Somerled whose sons inherited the southern Hebrides whilst the Manx rulers held on to the `` north isles '' for another century . The origins of both Godred Crovan and Somerled are obscure -- the former may have been an Uí Ímair dynast from Islay , the latter married a Crovan heiress . Thus it is clear that although there were competing factions in play , the Hebrides and islands of the Clyde were essentially under the control of rulers of Scandinavian origin from `` at least the late tenth century '' until the emergence of the kingdom of Scotland and its 13th century expansion into the west . Relations with Pictland , Strathclyde and Alba ( edit ) Modern Dumbarton Castle , the site of the 9th - century siege by the Uí Ímair . The early Viking threats may have speeded a long term process of gaelicisation of the Pictish kingdoms , which adopted Gaelic language and customs . There was a merger of the Gaelic and Pictish crowns , although historians continue to debate whether it was a Pictish takeover of Dál Riata , or the other way around . This culminated in the rise of Cínaed mac Ailpín in the 840s , who brought to power the House of Alpin who were leaders of a combined Gaelic - Pictish kingdom for almost two centuries . In 870 Dumbarton was besieged by Amlaíb Conung and Ímar , `` the two kings of the Northmen '' , who `` returned to Dublin from Britain '' the following year with numerous captives . Dumbarton was the capital of the Kingdom of Strathclyde and this was clearly a major assault which may have brought the whole of mainland Scotland under temporary Ui Imair control . Three years earlier Vikings had seized Northumbria , forming the Kingdom of York and subsequently conquered much of England except for a reduced Kingdom of Wessex , leaving the new combined Pictish and Gaelic kingdom almost encircled . Amlaíb and his brother Auisle `` ravaged the whole of Pictland and took their hostages '' and later occupied this territory for a protracted period . The 875 Battle of Dollar was another major setback for the Picts / Scots . James III and Margaret , whose betrothal led to Orkney passing from Norway to Scotland . In 902 the Norse suffered a serious reverse in Ireland losing control of Dublin and this seems to have intensified attacks on the emerging kingdom of Alba . A year later Dunkeld was attacked and Ímar , the `` grandson of Ímar '' was killed in battle with the forces of Constantine II in mainland Scotland . In the late tenth century the battle of `` Innisibsolian '' was won by Alban forces over Vikings . Yet these events were setbacks for the Norse rather than a definitive moment . Of more significance were their defeats at the Battle of Brunanburh in 937 and at the Battle of Tara in 980 . In 962 Ildulb mac Causantín , King of Scots , was killed ( according to the Chronicle of the Kings of Alba ) fighting the Norse near Cullen , at the Battle of Bauds but the line of the House of Alpin held firm and the threat posed by the Scandinavian presence to the emergent Kingdom of Scotland lessened . Perhaps to counter growing Irish influence in the Western Isles Magnus Barelegs re-established direct Norwegian overlordship there by 1098 . He first took Orkney , the northern Scottish mainland and the Hebrides , where he `` dyed his sword red in blood '' in the Uists . In that year , Edgar of Scotland signed a treaty with Magnus which settled much of the boundary between the Scots and Norwegian claims in the islands . Edgar formally acknowledged the existing situation by giving up his claims to the Hebrides and Kintyre . Following the intervention of Somerled and his death at the Battle of Renfrew the Kings of the Isles were weakened relative to the Scottish state , but more than 150 years later Norway intervened again , this time unsuccessfully . Following Haakon Haakonarson 's ill - fated invasion and the stalemate of the Battle of Largs the Hebrides and Mann and all rights that the Norwegian crown `` had of old therein '' were yielded to the Kingdom of Scotland as a result of the 1266 Treaty of Perth . In 1468 Orkney was pledged by Christian I , in his capacity as king of Norway , as security against the payment of the dowry of his daughter Margaret , betrothed to James III of Scotland . As the money was never paid , the connection with the crown of Scotland has become perpetual . Religion , culture and economy ( edit ) Magnus Erlendsson , Earl of Orkney was killed by his cousin Haakon Paulsson in April 1116 . The building of St. Magnus Cathedral , Kirkwall in his honour by Rögnvald Kali commenced in 1137 . Although there is evidence of varying burial rites practised by Norse settlers in Scotland , such as grave goods found on Colonsay and Westray , there is little that enables a confirmation that the Norse gods were venerated prior to the reintroduction of Christianity . The Odin Stone has been used as evidence of Odinic beliefs and practices but the derivation may well be from `` oathing stone '' . A few Scandinavian poetic references suggest that Orcadian audiences understood elements of the Norse pantheon , although this is hardly conclusive proof of active beliefs . Nonetheless , it is likely that pagan practices existed in early Scandinavian Scotland . According to the sagas , the Northern Isles were Christianised by Olav Tryggvasson in 995 when he stopped at South Walls on his way from Ireland to Norway . The King summoned the jarl Sigurd the Stout and said `` I order you and all your subjects to be baptised . If you refuse , I 'll have you killed on the spot and I swear I will ravage every island with fire and steel . '' Unsurprisingly , Sigurd agreed and the islands became Christian at a stroke , receiving their own bishop , Henry of Lund ( also known as `` the Fat '' ) , who was appointed sometime prior to 1035 . The greatest source of Scottish influence after the appointment of the Scottish earls in the 13th century was probably through the church , although it is clear that Scots influence on the culture of Orkney and Shetland was fairly limited until the close of the 14th century or later . An influx of Scottish entrepreneurs helped to create a diverse and independent community that included farmers , fishermen and merchants that called themselves Communitas Orchadensis and who proved themselves increasingly able to defend their rights against their feudal overlords , be they Norwegian or Scots . This independence of mind may have been fostered by the influence of Norwegian government which was essentially communal and federal by contrast with Scotland . It was not until the mid 16th century that the Norse institutions were replaced by Scottish systems following large - scale immigration from the south and the islanders were probably bi-lingual until the 17th century . St. Magnus Church , Egilsay Once again , the situation in the Hebrides is much less clear . There was a Bishop of Iona until the late 10th century and there is then a gap of more than a century , possibly filled by the Bishops of Orkney , before the appointment of the first Bishop of Mann in 1079 . The conversion of Scandinavian Scotland and the resultant end to slavery and integration of Viking society into mainstream European culture was a significant event . It took place at an early date , although the popular image of marauding berserkers and of the Norse as `` enemies of social progress '' remains despite considerable evidence that in their latter phase the Norse - speaking populations were rather `` enlightened practitioners of maritime commercial principles '' . Þings were open - air governmental assemblies that met in the presence of the jarl and the meetings were open to virtually all free men . At these sessions decisions were made , laws passed and complaints adjudicated . Examples include Tingwall and Law Ting Holm in Shetland , Dingwall in Easter Ross , and Tynwald on the Isle of Man . Women enjoyed a relatively high status during the Viking Age , possibly due to the high degree of mobility in society . There is little knowledge of their role in the Scandinavian colonies of Scotland although the indirect evidence of graves during the pagan and Christian periods suggests roles similar to those held elsewhere . Amongst the best known figures are Gormflaith ingen Murchada , Gunnhild Gormsdóttir , Aud the Deep - Minded and Ingibjörg , the daughter of Earl Hakon Paulsson and wife of King Olaf Godredsson . The Norse legacy of art and architecture is limited . The Christchurch at Brough of Birsay , now reduced , was the early seat of the Bishop 's of Orkney . St. Magnus Cathedral , Kirkwall is peerless as an example of Norse - era construction in Scotland and St. Magnus Church , on Egilsay retains its round tower . The iconic Lewis chessmen are the best known treasure trove and numerous finds of grave goods including brooches and weaponry such as the Scar boat burial are well - documented . There is growing evidence of the importance of trade and commerce . Data from the Outer Hebrides suggests that pigs were a more important aspect of Viking farming than prior to that time , that red deer numbers may have been controlled rather than the species simply being subject to hunting , that herring fishing became an important commercial consideration and that trade with centres to the south such as Dublin and Bristol may have been important . Coins found at Bornais and Cille Pheadair were produced in Norway , Westphalia , and England , although there were none from Scotland . Ivory from Greenland was also found there . Present day influence ( edit ) Lewis chessmen in the National Museum of Scotland Norse and Viking colonisations and settlements have made an impression on peripheral Scotland , the evidence for which can be found in place names , language , genetics and other aspects of cultural heritage . The Scandinavian influence in Scotland was probably at its height in the mid 11th century during the time of Thorfinn Sigurdsson , who attempted to create a single political and ecclesiastical domain stretching from Shetland to Man . The Suðreyjar have a total land area of approximately 8,374 square kilometres ( 3,233 sq mi ) . Caithness and Sutherland have a combined area of 7,051 square kilometres ( 2,722 sq mi ) and the permanent Scandinavian holdings in Scotland at that time must therefore have been at minimum between a fifth and a quarter of the land area of modern Scotland . The Viking invasions may have inadvertently played a role in the creation of modern Scotland . Their destructive raids initially weakened Pictland , Strathclyde and Dal Riata , but these `` harassed remnants '' eventually became a united front and Norse aggression thus played a significant role in the creation of the kingdom of Alba , the nucleus from which the Scottish kingdom expanded as the Viking influence waned , just as in the south Wessex expanded to become the kingdom of England . Up Helly Aa in Lerwick Some Scots take pride in their Scandinavian ancestry . For example , Clan MacLeod of Lewis claims its descent from Leod , who according to tradition was a younger son of Olaf the Black . Clan MacNeacail of Skye also claim Norse ancestry , and occasional references are made to the idea of Scotland joining `` the Nordic circle of nations '' in modern political debate . Yet , unlike the Danelaw in England , the Scandinavian occupation of Scotland has no single common name . This may be a reflection of the less well documented nature of the various invasions involved , but it also hints at a relative lack of popular understanding of the history . By comparison to the Roman occupations of Scotland the Norse kingdoms were much longer lived , more recent and had a significantly more dramatic influence on spoken language and by extension culture and lifestyles generally . They were however confined to areas that are relatively remote from the main centres of modern population . Furthermore , regardless of the actual impact of Scandinavian culture , the hereditary leaders of the Scots nation are generally descended from Pictish and Gaelic stock . The Vikings are thus often seen in a negative light and as a foreign invasion rather than as a key part of a multi-cultural polity . Nonetheless , in the Northern Isles the Scandinavian connection is still celebrated , one of the best - known such events being the Lerwick fire - festival Up Helly Aa . In particular , Shetland 's connection with Norway has proven to be enduring . When Norway became independent again in 1905 the Shetland authorities sent a letter to King Haakon VII in which they stated : `` Today no ' foreign ' flag is more familiar or more welcome in our voes and havens than that of Norway , and Shetlanders continue to look upon Norway as their mother - land , and recall with pride and affection the time when their forefathers were under the rule of the Kings of Norway . '' At the 2013 Viking Congress held in Shetland the Scottish Government announced plans to strengthen Scotland 's historic links with Scandinavia .

where did the vikings first land in scotland
[ "The Northern Isles, known to the Norse as the Norðreyjar, are the closest parts of the United Kingdom to Norway and these islands experienced the first and most long-lasting Norse influence of any part of Scotland. Shetland is some 300 kilometres (190 mi) due west of Norway[2][3] and in favourable conditions could be reached in 24 hours from Hordaland in a Viking longship.[4] Orkney is 80 kilometres (50 mi) further to the south west.[2]" ]

Dover Beach
Dover Beach - wikipedia Dover Beach Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the poem . For the novel by Richard Bowker , see Dover Beach ( novel ) . `` Dover Beach '' is a lyric poem by the English poet Matthew Arnold . It was first published in 1867 in the collection New Poems , but surviving notes indicate its composition may have begun as early as 1849 . The most likely date is 1851 . The title , locale and subject of the poem 's descriptive opening lines is the shore of the English ferry port of Dover , in Kent , facing Calais , in France , at the Strait of Dover , the narrowest part ( 21 miles ) of the English Channel , where Arnold honeymooned in 1851 . Many of the beaches in this part of England are made up of small stones or pebbles rather than sand , and Arnold describes the sea ebbing over the stones as a `` grating roar . '' Contents ( hide ) 1 Analysis 2 Composition 3 Influence 4 Notes 5 References 6 External links Analysis ( edit ) In Stefan Collini 's opinion , `` Dover Beach '' is a difficult poem to analyze , and some of its passages and metaphors have become so well known that they are hard to see with `` fresh eyes '' . Arnold begins with a naturalistic and detailed nightscape of the beach at Dover in which auditory imagery plays a significant role ( `` Listen ! you hear the grating roar '' ) . The beach , however , is bare , with only a hint of humanity in a light that `` gleams and is gone '' . Reflecting the traditional notion that the poem was written during Arnold 's honeymoon ( see composition section ) , one critic notes that `` the speaker might be talking to his bride '' . The sea is calm to - night . The tide is full , the moon lies fair Upon the straits ; -- on the French coast the light Gleams and is gone ; the cliffs of England stand , Glimmering and vast , out in the tranquil bay . Come to the window , sweet is the night - air ! Only , from the long line of spray Where the sea meets the moon - blanch 'd land , Listen ! you hear the grating roar Of pebbles which the waves draw back , and fling , At their return , up the high strand , Begin , and cease , and then again begin , With tremulous cadence slow , and bring The eternal note of sadness in . Arnold looks at two aspects of this scene , its soundscape ( in the first and second stanzas ) and the retreating action of the tide ( in the third stanza ) . He hears the sound of the sea as `` the eternal note of sadness '' . Sophocles , a 5th - century BC Greek playwright who wrote tragedies on fate and the will of the gods , also heard this sound as he stood upon the shore of the Aegean Sea . Critics differ widely on how to interpret this image of the Greek classical age . One sees a difference between Sophocles interpreting the `` note of sadness '' humanistically , while Arnold , in the industrial nineteenth century , hears in this sound the retreat of religion and faith . A more recent critic connects the two as artists , Sophocles the tragedian , Arnold the lyric poet , each attempting to transform this note of sadness into `` a higher order of experience '' . Sophocles long ago Heard it on the Ægæan , and it brought Into his mind the turbid ebb and flow Of human misery ; we Find also in the sound a thought , Hearing it by this distant northern sea . Having examined the soundscape , Arnold turns to the action of the tide itself and sees in its retreat a metaphor for the loss of faith in the modern age , once again expressed in an auditory image ( `` But now I only hear / Its melancholy , long , withdrawing roar '' ) . This fourth stanza begins with an image not of sadness , but of `` joyous fulness '' similar in beauty to the image with which the poem opens . The Sea of Faith Was once , too , at the full , and round earth 's shore Lay like the folds of a bright girdle furl 'd . But now I only hear Its melancholy , long , withdrawing roar , Retreating , to the breath Of the night - wind , down the vast edges drear And naked shingles of the world . The final stanza begins with an appeal to love , then moves on to the famous ending metaphor . Critics have varied in their interpretation of the first two lines ; one calls them a `` perfunctory gesture ... swallowed up by the poem 's powerfully dark picture '' , while another sees in them `` a stand against a world of broken faith '' . Midway between these is one of Arnold 's biographers , who describes being `` true / To one another '' as `` a precarious notion '' in a world that has become `` a maze of confusion '' . The metaphor with which the poem ends is most likely an allusion to a passage in Thucydides 's account of the Peloponnesian War ( Book 7 , 44 ) . He describes an ancient battle that occurred on a similar beach during the Athenian invasion of Sicily . The battle took place at night ; the attacking army became disoriented while fighting in the darkness and many of their soldiers inadvertently killed each other . This final image has also been variously interpreted by the critics . Culler calls the `` darkling plain '' Arnold 's `` central statement '' of the human condition . Pratt sees the final line as `` only metaphor '' and thus susceptible to the `` uncertainty '' of poetic language . Ah , love , let us be true To one another ! for the world , which seems To lie before us like a land of dreams , So various , so beautiful , so new , Hath really neither joy , nor love , nor light , Nor certitude , nor peace , nor help for pain ; And we are here as on a darkling plain Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight , Where ignorant armies clash by night . `` The poem 's discourse '' , Honan tells us , `` shifts literally and symbolically from the present , to Sophocles on the Aegean , from Medieval Europe back to the present -- and the auditory and visual images are dramatic and mimetic and didactic . Exploring the dark terror that lies beneath his happiness in love , the speaker resolves to love -- and exigencies of history and the nexus between lovers are the poem 's real issues . That lovers may be ' true / To one another ' is a precarious notion : love in the modern city momentarily gives peace , but nothing else in a post-medieval society reflects or confirms the faithfulness of lovers . Devoid of love and light the world is a maze of confusion left by ' retreating ' faith . '' Critics have questioned the unity of the poem , noting that the sea of the opening stanza does not appear in the final stanza , while the `` darkling plain '' of the final line is not apparent in the opening . Various solutions to this problem have been proffered . One critic saw the `` darkling plain '' with which the poem ends as comparable to the `` naked shingles of the world '' . `` Shingles '' here means flat beach cobbles , characteristic of some wave - swept coasts . Another found the poem `` emotionally convincing '' even if its logic may be questionable . The same critic notes that `` the poem upends our expectations of metaphor '' and sees in this the central power of the poem . The poem 's historicism creates another complicating dynamic . Beginning in the present it shifts to the classical age of Greece , then ( with its concerns for the sea of faith ) it turns to Medieval Europe , before finally returning to the present . The form of the poem itself has drawn considerable comment . Critics have noted the careful diction in the opening description , the overall , spell - binding rhythm and cadence of the poem and its dramatic character . One commentator sees the strophe - antistrophe of the ode at work in the poem , with an ending that contains something of the `` cata - strophe '' of tragedy . Finally , one critic sees the complexity of the poem 's structure resulting in `` the first major ' free - verse ' poem in the language '' . Composition ( edit ) According to Tinker and Lowry , `` a draft of the first twenty - eight lines of the poem '' was written in pencil `` on the back of a folded sheet of paper containing notes on the career of Empedocles '' . Allott concludes that the notes are probably from around 1849 -- 50 . `` Empedocles on Etna '' , again according to Allott , was probably written 1849 -- 52 ; the notes on Empedocles are likely to be contemporary with the writing of that poem . The final line of this draft is : And naked shingles of the world . Ah love &c Tinker and Lowry conclude that this `` seem ( s ) to indicate that the last nine lines of the poem as we know it were already in existence when the portion regarding the ebb and flow of the sea at Dover was composed . '' This would make the manuscript `` a prelude to the concluding paragraph '' of the poem in which `` there is no reference to the sea or tides '' . Ah , love , let us be true To one another ! for the world , which seems To lie before us like a land of dreams , So various , so beautiful , so new , Hath really neither joy , nor love , nor light , Nor certitude , nor peace , nor help from pain ; And we are here as on a darkling plain Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight , Where ignorant armies clash by night . Arnold 's visits to Dover may also provide some clue to the date of composition . Allott has Arnold in Dover in June 1851 and again in October of that year `` on his return from his delayed continental honeymoon '' . To critics who conclude that ll. 1 -- 28 were written at Dover and ll. 29 -- 37 `` were rescued from some discarded poem '' Allott suggests the contrary , i.e. , that the final lines `` were written at Dover in late June , '' while `` ll. 29 -- 37 were written in London shortly afterwards '' . Influence ( edit ) William Butler Yeats responds directly to Arnold 's pessimism in his four - line poem , `` The Nineteenth Century and After '' ( 1929 ) : Though the great song return no more There 's keen delight in what we have : The rattle of pebbles on the shore Under the receding wave . Anthony Hecht , US Poet Laureate , replied to `` Dover Beach '' in his poem `` The Dover Bitch '' . So there stood Matthew Arnold and this girl With the cliffs of England crumbling away behind them , And he said to her , `` Try to be true to me , And I 'll do the same for you , for things are bad All over , etc. etc . '' The anonymous figure to whom Arnold addresses his poem becomes the subject of Hecht 's poem . In Hecht 's poem she `` caught the bitter allusion to the sea '' , imagined `` what his whiskers would feel like / On the back of her neck '' , and felt sad as she looked out across the channel . `` And then she got really angry '' at the thought that she had become `` a sort of mournful cosmic last resort '' . After which she says `` one or two unprintable things '' . But you must n't judge her by that . What I mean to say is , She 's really all right . I still see her once in a while And she always treats me right . Kenneth and Miriam Allott , referring to `` Dover Bitch '' as `` an irreverent jeu d'esprit '' , nonetheless see , particularly in the line `` a sort of mournful cosmic last resort '' , an extension of the original poem 's main theme . `` Dover Beach '' has been mentioned in a number of novels , plays , poems , and films : In Dodie Smith 's novel , I Capture the Castle ( 1940 ) , the book 's protagonist remarks that Debussy 's Clair de Lune reminds her of `` Dover Beach '' ( in the film adaptation of the novel , the character quotes ( or , rather , misquotes ) a line from the poem ) . In Fahrenheit 451 ( 1951 ) , author Ray Bradbury has his protagonist Guy Montag read part of `` Dover Beach '' to his wife Mildred and her friends after attempts at intellectual conversation fail and Montag discovers just how shallow and uncaring they are about their families and the world around them . One of Mildred 's friends cries over the poem while the other chastises Montag for exposing them to something she deems obscene and the two break off their friendship with Mildred in disgust as they leave the house . Joseph Heller 's novel Catch - 22 ( 1961 ) alludes to the poem in the chapter `` Havermyer '' : `` the open - air movie theater in which -- for the daily amusement of the dying -- ignorant armies clashed by night on a collapsible screen . '' In Charles M. Fair 's `` The Dying Self '' , he speaks of `` the coming of this unhappy epoch , in which men are a danger to themselves roughly in proportion to their own triviality , announced in the Victorian Age '' and exemplified by `` the only first - rate poem Arnold ever wrote : ' Dover Beach ' . '' Ian McEwan quotes part of the poem in his novel Saturday ( 2005 ) , where the effects of its beauty and language are so strong and impressive that it moves a brutal criminal to tears and remorse . He also seems to have borrowed the main setting of his novella On Chesil Beach ( 2005 ) from Dover Beach , additionally playing with the fact that Arnold 's poem was composed on his honeymoon ( see above ) . Sam Wharton quotes the final stanza in his Jonathan Hare novel ' Ignorant Armies ' set in 1954 , and one of his characters uses it as a commentary on the failure of senior people to maintain appropriate standards of conduct . In the musical Cabaret ( 1966 ) , the American aspiring novelist Cliff Bradshaw recites parts of the poem to the singer Sally Bowles because being English she wants to hear proper English after having been in Berlin for some time . In her novel Devices and Desires ( 1989 ) P.D. James 's character Adam Dalgliesh , thinking about his response to a police officer after having discovered a murder on a beach on the north - east coast of Norfolk about `` walking and thinking '' on the beach notes that `` I was thinking about the clash of ignorant armies by night , since no poet walks by the sea at moonlight without silently reciting Matthew Arnold 's marvellous poem . '' The poem is mentioned in : Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury , Jakarta by Alice Munro , The Last Gentleman by Walker Percy , A Song For Lya by George R.R. Martin , Portnoy 's Complaint by Philip Roth , Rush 's song `` Armour and Sword '' , from the album Snakes and Arrows ( lyrics by Neil Peart ) , The Bangles ' song `` Dover Beach '' , from the album All Over the Place ( lyrics by Susanna Hoffs and Vicki Peterson ) Nora 's Lost , a short drama by Alan Haehnel , Daljit Nagra 's prize - winning poem `` Look We Have Coming to Dover ! '' which quotes the line , `` So various , so beautiful , so new '' as its epigraph , the poem `` Moon '' by Billy Collins , the travel narrative A Summer in Gascony ( 2008 ) by Martin Calder . The Flying Dutchman character quotes the last 12 lines as he looks towards the sea in the movie , Pandora and the Flying Dutchman . Kevin Kline 's character , Cal Gold , in the film The Anniversary Party recites part of `` Dover Beach '' as a toast . Samuel Barber composed a setting of `` Dover Beach '' for string quartet and baritone . Jeffrey Eugenides `` The Marriage Plot '' , p. 201 ( bottom ) , Farrar Straus and Giroux paperback edn 2011 Jo Baker ' A Country Road , A Tree ' ( 2015 ) p 24 , when protagonist Samuel Beckett recalls lines 9 - 10 when walking by the sea at Greystones , Co . Wicklow The Man Without a Shadow , novel by Joyce Carol Oates , ( 2016 ) The poem has also provided a ready source for titles : On a Darkling Plain by Clifford Irving , A Darkling Plain by Philip Reeve , As on a Darkling Plain by Ben Bova ( the title refers to the plain of a Saturnian moon covered with strange unexplained artefacts ) , A Tour of the Darkling Plain ( the Finnegans Wake correspondence of Adaline Glasheen and Thornton Wilder ) , Clash by Night , a play by Clifford Odets ( later made into a film noir by Fritz Lang ) , Clash by Night '' a science fiction novel by Lewis Padgett ( Henry Kuttner & CL Moore ) , Ignorant Armies '' by Sam Wharton , and Norman Mailer 's National Book Award winner The Armies of the Night about the 1967 March on the Pentagon . The Sea of Faith movement is so called as the name is taken from this poem , as the poet expresses regret that belief in a supernatural world is slowly slipping away ; the `` sea of faith '' is withdrawing like the ebbing tide . Even in the U.S. Supreme Court the poem has had its influence : Justice William Rehnquist , in his concurring opinion in Northern Pipeline Co. v. Marathon Pipe Line Co. , 458 US 50 ( 1982 ) , called judicial decisions regarding Congress 's power to create legislative courts `` landmarks on a judicial ' darkling plain ' where ignorant armies have clashed by night .

Located in the southwest portion of the city , Staten Island is the southernmost part of both the city and state of New York , with Conference House Park located at the southern tip of the island . The borough is separated from New Jersey by the Arthur Kill and the Kill Van Kull , and from the rest of New York by New York Bay . With a 2017 Census -- estimated population of 479,458 Staten Island is the least populated of the boroughs but is the third - largest in land area at 58.5 sq mi ( 152 km ) . The borough is coextensive with Richmond County and until 1975 was referred to as the Borough of Richmond . Its flag was later changed to reflect this . Staten Island has sometimes been called `` the forgotten borough '' by inhabitants who feel neglected by the city government . The North Shore -- especially the neighborhoods of St. George , Tompkinsville , Clifton , and Stapleton -- is the most urban part of the island ; it contains the designated St. George Historic District and the St. Paul 's Avenue - Stapleton Heights Historic District , which feature large Victorian houses . The East Shore is home to the 2.5 - mile ( 4 km ) F.D.R. Boardwalk , the fourth - longest boardwalk in the world . The South Shore , site of the 17th - century Dutch and French Huguenot settlement , developed rapidly beginning in the 1960s and 1970s and is now mostly suburban in character . The West Shore is the least populated and most industrial part of the island . Motor traffic can reach the borough from Brooklyn via the Verrazano - Narrows Bridge and from New Jersey via the Outerbridge Crossing , Goethals Bridge , and Bayonne Bridge . Staten Island has Metropolitan Transportation Authority ( MTA ) bus lines and an MTA rapid transit line , the Staten Island Railway , which runs from the ferry terminal at St. George to Tottenville . Staten Island is the only borough that is not connected to the New York City Subway system . The free Staten Island Ferry connects the borough across New York Harbor to Manhattan and is a popular tourist attraction , providing views of the Statue of Liberty , Ellis Island , and Lower Manhattan . Staten Island had the Fresh Kills Landfill , which was the world 's largest landfill before closing in 2001 , although it was temporarily reopened that year to receive debris from the September 11 attacks . The landfill is being redeveloped as Freshkills Park , an area devoted to restoring habitat ; the park will become New York City 's second largest public park when completed .

Archaeologists have recovered tool evidence of Clovis culture activity dating from about 14,000 years ago . This evidence was first discovered in 1917 in the Charleston section of the island . Various Clovis artifacts have been discovered since then , on property owned by Mobil Oil . The island was probably abandoned later , possibly because of the extirpation of large mammals on the island . Evidence of the first permanent Native American settlements and agriculture are thought to date from about 5,000 years ago , although early archaic habitation evidence has been found in multiple locations on the island . Rossville points are distinct arrowheads that define a Native American cultural period that runs from the Archaic period to the Early Woodland period , dating from about 1500 to 100 BC . They are named for the Rossville section of Staten Island , where they were first found near the old Rossville Post Office building . Skeletons unearthed at Lenape burial ground in Staten Island , the largest pre-European burial ground in New York City At the time of European contact , the island was inhabited by the Raritan band of the Unami division of the Lenape . In Lenape , one of the Algonquian languages , Staten Island was called Aquehonga Manacknong , meaning `` as far as the place of the bad woods '' , or Eghquhous , meaning `` the bad woods '' . The area was part of the Lenape homeland known as Lenapehoking . The Lenape were later called the `` Delaware '' by the English colonists because they inhabited both shores of what the English named the Delaware River . The island was laced with Native American foot trails , one of which followed the south side of the ridge near the course of present - day Richmond Road and Amboy Road . The Lenape did not live in fixed encampments but moved seasonally , using slash and burn agriculture . Shellfish was a staple of their diet , including the Eastern oyster ( Crassostrea virginica ) abundant in the waterways throughout the present - day New York City region . Evidence of their habitation can still be seen in shell middens along the shore in the Tottenville section , where oyster shells larger than 12 inches ( 305 mm ) are sometimes found . Burial Ridge , a Lenape burial ground on a bluff overlooking Raritan Bay in Tottenville , is the largest pre-European burial ground in New York City . Bodies have been reported unearthed at Burial Ridge from 1858 onward . After conducting independent research , which included unearthing bodies interred at the site , ethnologist and archaeologist George H. Pepper was contracted in 1895 to conduct paid archaeological research at Burial Ridge by the American Museum of Natural History . The burial ground today is unmarked and lies within Conference House Park . European settlement ( edit ) The first recorded European contact on the island was in 1520 by Italian explorer Giovanni de Verrazzano who sailed through The Narrows on the ship La Dauphine and anchored for one night . In 1609 , English explorer Henry Hudson sailed into Upper New York Bay on his ship the Half Moon . The Dutch named the island Staaten Eylandt ( literally `` States Island '' ) in honor of the Dutch parliament , which is still known as the Staten - Generaal ( `` States General '' ) . The first permanent Dutch settlement of the New Netherland colony was made on Governor 's Island in 1624 , which they had used as a trading camp for more than a decade before . In 1626 , the colony transferred to the island of Manhattan which was designated as the capital of New Netherland . The Dutch did not establish a permanent settlement on Staaten Eylandt for many decades . From 1639 to 1655 , Cornelis Melyn and David de Vries made three separate attempts to establish one there , but each time the settlement was destroyed in conflicts between the Dutch and the local tribe . In 1661 , the first permanent Dutch settlement was established at Oude Dorp ( Dutch for `` Old Village '' ) by a small group of Dutch , Walloon , and French Huguenot families , just south of the Narrows near South Beach . Many French Huguenots had gone to the Netherlands as refugees from the religious wars in France , suffering persecution for their Protestant faith , and some joined the emigration to New Netherland . At one point nearly a third of the residents of the Island spoke French . The last vestige of Oude Dorp is the name of the present - day neighborhood of Old Town adjacent to Old Town Road . Staten Island was not spared the bloodshed which culminated in Kieft 's War . In the summer of 1641 and in 1642 Native American tribes laid waste to Old Town . Voorlezer 's House built c. 1696 Billiou - Stillwell - Perine House Richmond County ( edit ) At the end of the Second Anglo - Dutch War in 1667 , the Dutch ceded New Netherland to England in the Treaty of Breda , and the Dutch Staaten Eylandt , anglicized as `` Staten Island '' , became part of the new English colony of New York . In 1670 , the Native Americans ceded all claims to Staten Island to the English in a deed to Governor Francis Lovelace . In 1671 , in order to encourage an expansion of the Dutch settlements , the English resurveyed Oude Dorp ( which became known as `` Old Town '' ) and expanded the lots along the shore to the south . These lots were settled primarily by Dutch families and became known as Nieuwe Dorp ( meaning `` New Village '' ) , which later became anglicized as New Dorp . Captain Christopher Billopp , after years of distinguished service in the Royal Navy , came to America in 1674 in charge of a company of infantry . The following year , he settled on Staten Island , where he was granted a patent for 932 acres ( 3.8 km ) of land . According to one version of an oft - repeated but inaccurate tale , Captain Billopp 's seamanship secured Staten Island to New York , rather than to New Jersey : the island would belong to New York if the captain could circumnavigate it in one day , which he did . Mayor Michael Bloomberg perpetuated the myth by referring to it at a news conference in Brooklyn on February 20 , 2007 . In 1683 , the colony of New York was divided into ten counties . As part of this process , Staten Island , as well as several minor neighboring islands , was designated as Richmond County . The name derives from the title of Charles Lennox , 1st Duke of Richmond , an illegitimate son of King Charles II . In 1687 and 1688 , the English divided the island into four administrative divisions based on natural features : the 5,100 - acre ( 21 km ) manorial estate of colonial governor Thomas Dongan in the northeastern hills known as the `` Lordship or Manner of Cassiltown '' , along with the North , South , and West divisions . These divisions later evolved into the four towns of Castleton , Northfield , Southfield , and Westfield . In 1698 , the population was 727 . The government granted land patents in rectangular blocks of eighty acres ( 320,000 m ) , with the most desirable lands along the coastline and inland waterways . By 1708 , the entire island had been divided up in this fashion , creating 166 small farms and two large manorial estates , the Dongan estate and a 1,600 acres ( 6.5 km ) parcel on the southwestern tip of the island belonging to Christopher Billopp . The first county seat was established in New Dorp in what was called Stony Brook at the time . In 1729 , the county seat was moved to the village of Richmond Town , located at the headwaters of the Fresh Kills near the center of the island . By 1771 , the island 's population had grown to 2,847 . 18th century and the American revolution ( edit ) Lord Howe , who met Benjamin Franklin at the Conference House for a failed peace conference , frequented the Rose and Crown Tavern at New Dorp Lane and Richmond Road . The island played a significant role in the American Revolutionary War . On March 17 , 1776 , the British forces under Lord Howe evacuated Boston and sailed for Halifax , Nova Scotia . From Halifax , Howe prepared to attack New York City , which then consisted entirely of the southern end of Manhattan Island . General George Washington led the entire Continental Army to New York City in anticipation of the British attack . Howe used the strategic location of Staten Island as a staging ground for the invasion . Over 140 British ships arrived over the summer of 1776 and anchored off the shores of Staten Island at the entrance to New York Harbor . The British soldiers and Hessian mercenaries numbered about 30,000 . Howe established his headquarters in New Dorp at the Rose and Crown Tavern , near the junction of present New Dorp Lane and Amboy Road . There the representatives of the British government reportedly received their first notification of the Declaration of Independence . In August 1776 , the British forces crossed the Narrows to Brooklyn and outflanked the American forces at the Battle of Long Island , resulting in the British control of the harbor and the capture of New York City shortly afterwards . Three weeks later , on September 11 , 1776 , Lord Howe received a delegation of Americans consisting of Benjamin Franklin , Edward Rutledge , and John Adams at the Conference House on the southwestern tip of the island on the former estate of Christopher Billopp . However , the Americans refused a peace offer from Howe in exchange for withdrawing the Declaration of Independence , and the conference ended without an agreement . The Conference House On August 22 , 1777 , the Battle of Staten Island occurred between the British forces and several companies of the 2nd Canadian Regiment fighting alongside other American companies . The battle was inconclusive , though both sides surrendered over a hundred troops as prisoners . The Americans finally withdrew . In early 1780 , while the Kill Van Kull was frozen over , Lord Stirling led an unsuccessful Patriot raid from New Jersey on the western shore of Staten Island . It was repulsed in part by troops led by British Commander Francis Rawdon - Hastings , 1st Marquess of Hastings . British forces remained on Staten Island for the remainder of the war . Most Patriots fled after the British occupation , and the sentiment of those who remained was predominantly Loyalist . Even so , the islanders found the demands of supporting the troops to be heavy . The British army kept headquarters in neighborhoods such as Bulls Head . Many buildings and churches were destroyed for their materials , and the military 's demand for resources resulted in an extensive deforestation by the end of the war . The British army again used the island as a staging ground for its final evacuation of New York City on December 5 , 1783 . After their departure , many Loyalist landowners fled to Canada , and their estates were subdivided and sold . 19th century ( edit ) Historic Richmond Town museum complex is located in the heart of Staten Island . On July 4 , 1827 , the end of slavery in New York state was celebrated at Swan Hotel , West Brighton . Rooms at the hotel were reserved months in advance as local abolitionists and prominent free blacks prepared for the festivities . Speeches , pageants , picnics , and fireworks marked the celebration , which lasted for two days . In 1860 , parts of Castleton and Southfield were made into a new town , Middletown . The Village of New Brighton in the town of Castleton was incorporated in 1866 , and in 1872 the Village of New Brighton annexed all the remainder of the Town of Castleton and became coterminous with the town . Consolidation with New York City ( edit ) New housing on Staten Island , 1973 . Photo by Arthur Tress . US Navy ships tied up at the home port pier during Fleet Week in 2007 The towns of Staten Island were dissolved in 1898 with the consolidation of the City of Greater New York , as Richmond County became one of the five boroughs of the expanded city . Although consolidated into the City of Greater New York in 1898 , the county sheriff of Staten Island maintained control of the jail system , unlike the other boroughs who had gradually transferred control of the jails to the Department of Correction . The jail system was not transferred until January 1 , 1942 . Today , Staten Island is the only borough without a New York City Department of Correction major detention center . The construction of the Verrazano - Narrows Bridge , along with the other three major Staten Island bridges , created a new way for commuters and tourists to travel from New Jersey to Brooklyn , Manhattan , and areas farther east on Long Island . The network of highways running between the bridges has effectively carved up many of Staten Island 's old neighborhoods . The bridge opened many areas of the borough to residential and commercial development , especially in the central and southern parts of the borough , which had been largely undeveloped . Staten Island 's population doubled from about 221,000 in 1960 to about 443,000 in 2000 . Throughout the 1980s , a movement to secede from the city ( notably championed by longtime New York State Senator and former Republican Party mayoral nominee John J. Marchi ) steadily grew in popularity , reaching its peak during the mayoral term of David Dinkins . In a 1993 referendum , 65 % voted to secede , but implementation was blocked in the State Assembly . In the 1980s , the United States Navy had a base on Staten Island called Naval Station New York . It had two sections : a Strategic Homeport in Stapleton and a larger section near Fort Wadsworth , where the Verrazano - Narrows Bridge enters the island . The base was closed in 1994 through the Base Realignment and Closure process because of its small size and the expense of basing personnel there . Fresh Kills and its tributaries are part of the largest tidal wetland ecosystem in the region . Its creeks and wetlands have been designated a Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitat by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation . Opened along Fresh Kills as a `` temporary landfill '' in 1947 , the Fresh Kills Landfill was a repository of trash for the city of New York . The landfill , once the world 's largest man - made structure , was closed in 2001 , but was briefly re-opened for the debris from Ground Zero following the September 11 attacks in 2001 . It is being converted into a park . Plans for the park include a bird - nesting island , public roads , boardwalks , soccer and baseball fields , bridle paths , and a 5,000 - seat stadium . Today , freshwater and tidal wetlands , fields , birch thickets , and a coastal oak maritime forest , as well as areas dominated by non-native plant species , are all within the boundaries of Fresh Kills .

Serpentinite shown in rock cut along I - 278 in Staten Island by Todt Hill marked on USGS geological map . During the Paleozoic Era , the tectonic plate containing the continent of Laurentia and the plate containing the continent of Gondwanaland were converging , the Iapetus Ocean that separated the two continents gradually closed , and the resulting collision between the plates formed the Appalachian Mountains . During the early stages of this mountain building known as the Taconic orogeny , a piece of ocean crust from the Iapetus Ocean broke off and became incorporated into the collision zone and now forms the oldest bedrock strata of Staten Island , the serpentinite . This strata of the Lower Paleozoic ( approximately 430 million years old ) consists predominantly of the serpentine minerals , antigorite , chrysotile , and lizardite ; it also contains asbestos and talc . At the end of the Paleozoic era ( 248 million years ago ) all major continental masses were joined into the supercontinent of Pangaea . The Palisades Sill has been designated a National Natural Landmark , being `` the best example of a thick diabase sill in the United States . '' It underlies a portion of northeast Staten Island , with a visible outcropping in Travis , off Travis Road in the William T. Davis Wildlife Refuge . This is the same formation which appears in New Jersey and upstate New York along the Hudson River in Palisades Interstate Park . The sill extends southward beyond the cliffs in Jersey City beneath the Upper New York Harbor and resurfaces on Staten Island . The Palisades sill date from the Early Jurassic period , 192 to 186 million years ago . Staten Island has been at the southern terminus of various periods of glaciation . The most recent , the Wisconsin Glacier , ended approximately 12,000 years ago . The accumulated rock and sediment deposited at the terminus of the glacier is known as the terminal moraine present along the central portion of the island . The evidence of these glacial periods is visible in the remaining wooded areas of Staten Island in the form of glacial erratics and kettle ponds . At the retreat of the ice sheet , Staten Island was connected by land to Long Island , as the Narrows had not yet formed . Geologists ' reckonings of the course of the Hudson River have placed it alternatively through the present course of the Raritan River , south of the island , or through present - day Flushing Bay and Jamaica Bay . Geography ( edit ) Location of Staten Island ( red ) within New York City ( remainder white ) See also : List of Staten Island neighborhoods According to the U.S. Census Bureau , Richmond County has a total area of 102.5 square miles ( 265 km ) , of which 58.5 square miles ( 152 km ) is land and 44.0 square miles ( 114 km ) ( 43 % ) is water . It is the third - smallest county in New York by land area and fourth - smallest by total area . Although Staten Island is officially an administrative borough of New York City and its coterminous Richmond County is an administrative county of New York State , Staten Island is topographically and geologically a part of New Jersey . Staten Island is separated from Long Island by the Narrows and from mainland New Jersey by the Arthur Kill and the Kill Van Kull . Staten Island is positioned at the center of New York Bight , a sharp bend in the shoreline between New Jersey and Long Island . The region is considered vulnerable to sea - level rise . On October 29 , 2012 , the island experienced severe damage and loss of life along with the destruction of many homes during Hurricane Sandy . In addition to the main island , the borough and county also include several small uninhabited islands : The Isle of Meadows ( at the mouth of Fresh Kills ) Prall 's Island ( in the Arthur Kill ) Shooters Island ( in Newark Bay ; part of it belongs to New Jersey ) Swinburne Island ( in Lower New York Bay ) Hoffman Island ( in Lower New York Bay ) The highest point on the island , the summit of Todt Hill , elevation 410 ft ( 125 m ) , is also the highest point in the five boroughs , as well as the highest point on the Atlantic Coastal Plain south of Great Blue Hill in Massachusetts and the highest point on the coast proper south of Maine 's Camden Hills . Ward 's Point in the neighborhood of Tottenville is the southernmost point in the state of New York . Staten Island is the only borough in New York City that does not share a land border with another borough ( Marble Hill in Manhattan is contiguous with the Bronx ) . The borough has a land border with Elizabeth and Bayonne , New Jersey , on uninhabited Shooters Island . Wildlife ( edit ) Staten Island is home to a large and diverse population of wildlife . Wildlife found on Staten Island include white tailed deer ( which have increased from a population of 24 in 2008 to 2,000 in 2017 due to a hunting ban and a lack of predators ) , as well as hundreds of species of birds including bald eagles , turkey , hawks , egrets and ring - necked pheasants . Staten Island is home to horseshoe crabs , cotton tailed rabbits , opossums , raccoons , garter snakes , red - eared slider turtles , newts , spring peeper frogs , leopard frogs , fox , box turtles , northern snapping turtles and common snapping turtles . Parkland ( edit ) Staten Island includes thousands of acres of federal , state , and local park land , including the `` greenbelt '' and `` blue belt '' park systems and the Gateway National Recreation Area in addition to hundreds of acres of private wooded areas . The National Park Service maintains full - time Wildland Firefighters to patrol the Staten Island sites in wildfire brush trucks . The parks on Staten Island are managed by various state , federal and local agencies . Five sites are part of the 26,000 - acre ( 110 km ) Gateway National Recreation Area , managed by the U.S. National Park Service and patrolled by the United States Park Police : Great Kills Park Miller Field Fort Wadsworth Hoffman Island Swinburne Island Two New York State parks are managed by the New York State Office of Parks , Recreation and Historic Preservation : Mount Loretto Unique Area Clay Pit Ponds State Park Preserve New York State Park Police officers patrol these parks and the surrounding streets . 359 acres ( 145 ha ) of State Forests , state wildlife management areas and Wetlands are managed by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation : Saint Francis Woodland Butler Manor Woods Arden Heights Woods Todt Hill Woods North Mount Loretto State Forest Lemon creek Tidal Wetland Wildlife Management Area Blosers Wetland Wildlife Management Area Goethal Pond Wetland Bridge Creek Tidal Wetland Old Place Creek Tidal Wetland Oakwood Beach Wetland Sharrots Shoreline Natural Resource Area Sawmill Creek Wetland The 359 acres ( 145 ha ) of NYS Department of Environmental Conservation land throughout the island are patrolled by New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Police officers and one NYS DEC Forest Ranger , who has the dual task of law enforcement and fire suppression .

The centralized New York City government is responsible for public education , correctional institutions , libraries , public safety , recreational facilities , sanitation , water supply , and welfare services on Staten Island . The office of Borough President was created in the consolidation of 1898 to balance centralization with local authority . Each borough president had a powerful administrative role derived from having a vote on the New York City Board of Estimate , which was responsible for creating and approving the city 's budget and proposals for land use . The Office of Borough President became one focal point for opinions over the Vietnam War when former intelligence agent and peace activist Ed Murphy ran for office in 1973 , sponsored by the Staten Island Democratic Association . Murphy 's combat veteran status deflected traditional right - wing attacks on liberals , and the campaign facilitated the emergence of more liberal politics on Staten Island . In 1989 the Supreme Court of the United States declared the Board of Estimate unconstitutional on the grounds that Brooklyn , the most populous borough , had no greater effective representation on the board than Staten Island , the least populous borough , a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment 's Equal Protection Clause pursuant to the high court 's 1964 `` one man , one vote '' decision . Borough Hall in St. George , Staten Island . Since 1990 the Borough President has acted as an advocate for the borough at the mayoral agencies , the City Council , the New York state government , and corporations . Staten Island 's Borough President is James Oddo , a Republican elected in November 2013 with 69.1 % of the vote . Oddo is the only Republican borough president in New York City . Staten Island flag ( edit ) The flag is on a white background in the center of which is the design of a seal in the shape of an oval . Within the seal appears the color blue to symbolize the skyline of the borough , in which two seagulls appear colored in black and white . The green outline represents the countryside of the borough with white outline denoting the residential areas of Staten Island . Below is inscribed the words `` Staten Island '' in gold . Below this are five wavy lines of blue to symbolize the water that surrounds the island borough on all sides . Gold fringe outlines the flag . Politics ( edit ) Staten Island 's politics differ considerably from those of New York City 's other boroughs . Although in 2005 44.7 % of the borough 's registered voters were registered Democrats and 30.6 % were registered Republicans , the Republican Party holds a small majority of local public offices . Staten Island is the base of New York City 's Republican Party in citywide elections . In the 2001 mayoral election , borough voters chose Republican Michael Bloomberg , with 75.87 % of the vote , over Democrat Mark Green , with 21.15 % of the vote . Since Green narrowly lost the election citywide , Staten Island provided the margin of Bloomberg 's victory . The main political divide in the borough is demarcated by the Staten Island Expressway ; areas north of the Expressway tend to be more liberal while the south tends to be more conservative . Local party platforms center on affordable housing , education and law and order . Two out of Staten Island 's three New York City Council members are Republicans , including conservative commentator Joe Borelli . In national elections , Staten Island is a Republican - leaning swing county . Staten Island has voted for a Democratic presidential nominee only four times since 1940 : in 1964 , 1996 , 2000 , and 2012 . In the 2004 presidential election , Republican George W. Bush received 56 % of the vote in Staten Island , and Democrat John Kerry received 43 % . By contrast , Kerry outpolled Bush in New York City 's other four boroughs by a cumulative margin of 77 % to 22 % . In the 2008 presidential election , Republican John McCain won 52 % of the vote in the borough to Democrat Barack Obama 's 48 % . In 2012 , the borough flipped and was won by incumbent Democrat Barack Obama , who took 51 % of the vote to Republican Mitt Romney 's 48 % . This made it the fourth time since 1952 that Democrats have carried Staten Island , and made the borough one of the few parts of the country where Barack Obama gained an advantage compared to 2008 . In 2016 , Republican Donald Trump carried Staten Island by 15.1 % , the largest margin of any presidential candidate since 1988 . He became the first ever presidential candidate to receive 100,000 votes out of Staten Island . Each of the city 's five counties ( coterminous with each borough ) has its own criminal court system and District Attorney , the chief public prosecutor who is directly elected by popular vote . Michael McMahon , a Democrat , is the current District Attorney . Staten Island has three City Council members , two Republicans and one Democrat , the smallest number among the five boroughs . It also has three administrative districts , each served by a local Community Board . Community Boards are representative bodies that field complaints and serve as advocates for local residents . In the 2009 election for city offices , Staten Island elected its first black official , Debi Rose , who defeated the incumbent Democrat in the North Shore city council seat in a primary and then went on to win the general election . Staten Island lies entirely within New York 's 11th congressional district , which also includes part of southwestern Brooklyn .

NYS Department of Transportation Peace Officers in conjunction with the New York City Police Department and U.S Coast Guard patrol the ferry terminal . Trains ( edit ) The Staten Island Railway operates along the Richmond / Amboy Roads corridor . The Staten Island Railway traverses the island from its northeastern tip to its southwestern tip . The Staten Island Railway opened in 1860 and was owned and operated by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad ( B&O ) until July 1 , 1971 , when the line was bought by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority . The Staten Island Railway continued to have its own railway police , the Staten Island Rapid Transit Police , until 2005 when the 25 officer police force was consolidated into the Metropolitan Transportation Authority Police . MTA Police officers patrol the island 's only passenger railway . Staten Island is the only borough not served by the New York City Subway , as the Staten Island Tunnel was abandoned in the middle of construction in the 1920s . It lies dormant beneath Owl 's Head Park in Brooklyn . As such , express bus service is provided by NYC Transit throughout Staten Island to Lower and Midtown Manhattan . A five - mile right of way exists along the north shore of Staten Island . The rail line was built , owned , and operated by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad , which used the line for passenger service until 1953 . It then became a Baltimore and Ohio Railroad freight line until the 1980s , when freight service was stopped . There have been proposals to revive the abandoned North Shore Branch of the Staten Island Railway for passenger service as a rail line or for use as bus rapid transit .

The various police agencies on Staten Island maintain in - house holding jails for post arrest detention prior to transfer to a corrections jail in another borough . The Staten Island county sheriff operated a jail system on Staten Island until 1942 , when the Staten Island jail system was transferred from the county sheriff 's department to the New York City Department of Corrections and eventually closed . In 1976 , the New York State Department of Correctional Services opened the Arthur Kill Correctional Facility of Staten Island , but the facility was closed in 2011 . Nicknames ( edit ) Staten Island has acquired a number of nicknames over the decades , some connected to the notion that it is considered an afterthought by other New York City residents . The `` Forgotten Borough '' was first used nearly 100 years ago in a New York Times article which quoted a real estate executive . The phrase was more used during the secession movement of the 1990s , and came into greater use in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy . The hip - hop group Wu - Tang Clan coined the nickname `` Shaolin Land '' ( later simply Shaolin ) as part of their slang . Most recently people have been using `` The Rock '' , more commonly associated with Alcatraz , as a nickname which first appeared in a New York Times article in 2007 .

when did staten island became part of nyc
[ "The towns of Staten Island were dissolved in 1898 with the consolidation of the City of Greater New York, as Richmond County became one of the five boroughs of the expanded city. Although consolidated into the City of Greater New York in 1898, the county sheriff of Staten Island maintained control of the jail system, unlike the other boroughs who had gradually transferred control of the jails to the Department of Correction. The jail system was not transferred until January 1, 1942. Today, Staten Island is the only borough without a New York City Department of Correction major detention center.\n" ]

Baltistan Islamabad Capital Territory Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Punjab Sindh Portal The Partition of India was the division of British India in 1947 which accompanied the creation of two independent dominions , India and Pakistan . The Dominion of India is today the Republic of India , and the Dominion of Pakistan is today the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and the People 's Republic of Bangladesh . The partition involved the division of three provinces , Assam , Bengal and the Punjab , based on district - wide Hindu or Muslim majorities . The boundary demarcating India and Pakistan became known as the Radcliffe Line . It also involved the division of the British Indian Army , the Royal Indian Navy , the Indian Civil Service , the railways , and the central treasury , between the two new dominions . The partition was set forth in the Indian Independence Act 1947 and resulted in the dissolution of the British Raj , as the British government there was called . The two self - governing countries of Pakistan and India legally came into existence at midnight on 14 -- 15 August 1947 . The partition displaced over 14 million people along religious lines , creating overwhelming refugee crises in the newly constituted dominions ; there was large - scale violence , with estimates of loss of life accompanying or preceding the partition disputed and varying between several hundred thousand and two million . The violent nature of the partition created an atmosphere of hostility and suspicion between India and Pakistan that plagues their relationship to the present . The term partition of India does not cover the secession of Bangladesh from Pakistan in 1971 , nor the earlier separations of Burma ( now Myanmar ) and Ceylon ( now Sri Lanka ) from the administration of British India . The term also does not cover the political integration of princely states into the two new dominions , nor the disputes of annexation or division arising in the princely states of Hyderabad , Junagadh , and Jammu and Kashmir , though violence along religious lines did break out in some princely states at the time of the partition . It does not cover the incorporation of the enclaves of French India into India during the period 1947 -- 1954 , nor the annexation of Goa and other districts of Portuguese India by India in 1961 . Other contemporaneous political entities in the region in 1947 , Sikkim , Bhutan , Nepal , and the Maldives were unaffected by the partition .

In 1905 , viceroy , Lord Curzon , in his second term , divided the largest administrative subdivision in British India , the Bengal Presidency , into the Muslim - majority province of East Bengal and Assam and the Hindu - majority province of Bengal ( present - day Indian states of West Bengal , Bihar , Jharkhand and Odisha ) . Curzon 's act , the Partition of Bengal -- which some considered administratively felicitous , and , which had been contemplated by various colonial administrations since the time of Lord William Bentinck , but never acted upon -- was to transform nationalist politics as nothing else before it . The Hindu elite of Bengal , among them many who owned land in East Bengal that was leased out to Muslim peasants , protested fervidly . The large Bengali Hindu middle - class ( the Bhadralok ) , upset at the prospect of Bengalis being outnumbered in the new Bengal province by Biharis and Oriyas , felt that Curzon 's act was punishment for their political assertiveness . The pervasive protests against Curzon 's decision took the form predominantly of the Swadeshi ( `` buy Indian '' ) campaign and involved a boycott of British goods . Sporadically -- but flagrantly -- the protesters also took to political violence that involved attacks on civilians . The violence , however , was not effective , as most planned attacks were either preempted by the British or failed . The rallying cry for both types of protest was the slogan Bande Mataram ( Bengali , lit : `` Hail to the Mother '' ) , the title of a song by Bankim Chandra Chatterjee , which invoked a mother goddess , who stood variously for Bengal , India , and the Hindu goddess Kali . The unrest spread from Calcutta to the surrounding regions of Bengal when Calcutta 's English - educated students returned home to their villages and towns . The religious stirrings of the slogan and the political outrage over the partition were combined as young men , in groups such as Jugantar , took to bombing public buildings , staging armed robberies , and assassinating British officials . Since Calcutta was the imperial capital , both the outrage and the slogan soon became nationally known . The overwhelming , but predominantly Hindu , protest against the partition of Bengal and the fear , in its wake , of reforms favouring the Hindu majority , now led the Muslim elite in India , in 1906 , to meet with the new viceroy , Lord Minto , and to ask for separate electorates for Muslims . In conjunction , they demanded proportional legislative representation reflecting both their status as former rulers and their record of cooperating with the British . This led , in December 1906 , to the founding of the All - India Muslim League in Dacca . Although Curzon , by now , had resigned his position over a dispute with his military chief Lord Kitchener and returned to England , the League was in favour of his partition plan . The Muslim elite 's position , which was reflected in the League 's position , had crystallized gradually over the previous three decades , beginning with the 1871 Census of British India , which had first estimated the populations in regions of Muslim majority . ( For his part , Curzon 's desire to court the Muslims of East Bengal had arisen from British anxieties ever since the 1871 census , the first comprehensive census there -- and in light of the history of Muslims fighting them in the 1857 Mutiny and the Second Anglo - Afghan War -- about Indian Muslims rebelling against the Crown . ) In the three decades since that census , Muslim leaders across northern India , had intermittently experienced public animosity from some of the new Hindu political and social groups . The Arya Samaj , for example , had not only supported Cow Protection Societies in their agitation , but also -- distraught at the 1871 Census 's Muslim numbers -- organized `` reconversion '' events for the purpose of welcoming Muslims back to the Hindu fold . In the United Provinces , Muslims became anxious when , in the late 19th century , political representation increased , giving more power to Hindus , and Hindus were politically mobilized in the Hindi - Urdu controversy and the anti-cow - killing riots of 1893 . In 1905 , when Tilak and Lajpat Rai attempted to rise to leadership positions in the Congress , and the Congress itself rallied around symbolism of Kali , Muslim fears increased . It was not lost on many Muslims , for example , that the rallying cry , `` Bande Mataram '' , had first appeared in the novel Anand Math in which Hindus had battled their Muslim oppressors . Lastly , the Muslim elite , and among it Dacca Nawab , Khwaja Salimullah , who hosted the League 's first meeting in his mansion in Shahbag , was aware that a new province with a Muslim majority would directly benefit Muslims aspiring to political power .

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi ( seated in carriage , on the right , eyes downcast , with black flat - top hat ) receives a big welcome in Karachi in 1916 after his return to India from South Africa . Muhammad Ali Jinnah , seated , third from the left , was a supporter of the Lucknow Pact , which , in 1916 , ended the three - way rift between the Extremists , the Moderates and the League . World War I would prove to be a watershed in the imperial relationship between Britain and India . 1.4 million Indian and British soldiers of the British Indian Army would take part in the war and their participation would have a wider cultural fallout : news of Indian soldiers fighting and dying with British soldiers , as well as soldiers from dominions like Canada and Australia , would travel to distant corners of the world both in newsprint and by the new medium of the radio . India 's international profile would thereby rise and would continue to rise during the 1920s . It was to lead , among other things , to India , under its own name , becoming a founding member of the League of Nations in 1920 and participating , under the name , `` Les Indes Anglaises '' ( British India ) , in the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp . Back in India , especially among the leaders of the Indian National Congress , it would lead to calls for greater self - government for Indians . The 1916 Lucknow Session of the Congress was also the venue of an unanticipated mutual effort by the Congress and the Muslim League , the occasion for which was provided by the wartime partnership between Germany and Turkey . Since the Turkish Sultan , or Khalifah , had also sporadically claimed guardianship of the Islamic holy sites of Mecca , Medina , and Jerusalem , and since the British and their allies were now in conflict with Turkey , doubts began to increase among some Indian Muslims about the `` religious neutrality '' of the British , doubts that had already surfaced as a result of the reunification of Bengal in 1911 , a decision that was seen as ill - disposed to Muslims . In the Lucknow Pact , the League joined the Congress in the proposal for greater self - government that was campaigned for by Tilak and his supporters ; in return , the Congress accepted separate electorates for Muslims in the provincial legislatures as well as the Imperial Legislative Council . In 1916 , the Muslim League had anywhere between 500 and 800 members and did not yet have its wider following among Indian Muslims of later years ; in the League itself , the pact did not have unanimous backing , having largely been negotiated by a group of `` Young Party '' Muslims from the United Provinces ( UP ) , most prominently , two brothers Mohammad and Shaukat Ali , who had embraced the Pan-Islamic cause ; however , it did have the support of a young lawyer from Bombay , Muhammad Ali Jinnah , who was later to rise to leadership roles in both the League and the Indian independence movement . In later years , as the full ramifications of the pact unfolded , it was seen as benefiting the Muslim minority élites of provinces like UP and Bihar more than the Muslim majorities of Punjab and Bengal ; nonetheless , at the time , the `` Lucknow Pact '' , was an important milestone in nationalistic agitation and was seen so by the British . Montagu -- Chelmsford Reforms : 1919 ( edit ) Secretary of State for India , Montagu and Viceroy Lord Chelmsford presented a report in July 1918 after a long fact - finding trip through India the previous winter . After more discussion by the government and parliament in Britain , and another tour by the Franchise and Functions Committee for the purpose of identifying who among the Indian population could vote in future elections , the Government of India Act of 1919 ( also known as the Montagu -- Chelmsford Reforms ) was passed in December 1919 . The new Act enlarged both the provincial and Imperial legislative councils and repealed the Government of India 's recourse to the `` official majority '' in unfavorable votes . Although departments like defence , foreign affairs , criminal law , communications , and income - tax were retained by the Viceroy and the central government in New Delhi , other departments like public health , education , land - revenue , local self - government were transferred to the provinces . The provinces themselves were now to be administered under a new dyarchical system , whereby some areas like education , agriculture , infrastructure development , and local self - government became the preserve of Indian ministers and legislatures , and ultimately the Indian electorates , while others like irrigation , land - revenue , police , prisons , and control of media remained within the purview of the British governor and his executive council . The new Act also made it easier for Indians to be admitted into the civil service and the army officer corps . A greater number of Indians were now enfranchised , although , for voting at the national level , they constituted only 10 % of the total adult male population , many of whom were still illiterate . In the provincial legislatures , the British continued to exercise some control by setting aside seats for special interests they considered cooperative or useful . In particular , rural candidates , generally sympathetic to British rule and less confrontational , were assigned more seats than their urban counterparts . Seats were also reserved for non-Brahmins , landowners , businessmen , and college graduates . The principle of `` communal representation '' , an integral part of the Minto - Morley Reforms , and more recently of the Congress - Muslim League Lucknow Pact , was reaffirmed , with seats being reserved for Muslims , Sikhs , Indian Christians , Anglo - Indians , and domiciled Europeans , in both provincial and Imperial legislative councils . The Montagu - Chelmsford reforms offered Indians the most significant opportunity yet for exercising legislative power , especially at the provincial level ; however , that opportunity was also restricted by the still limited number of eligible voters , by the small budgets available to provincial legislatures , and by the presence of rural and special interest seats that were seen as instruments of British control . Two nation theory ( edit ) Main article : Two - nation theory The two - nation is the ideology that the primary identity and unifying denominator of Muslims in the Indian subcontinent is their religion , rather than their language or ethnicity , and therefore Indian Hindus and Muslims are two distinct nations , regardless of ethnic or other commonalities . The two - nation theory was a founding principle of the Pakistan Movement ( i.e. the ideology of Pakistan as a Muslim nation - state in South Asia ) , and the partition of India in 1947 . The ideology that religion is the determining factor in defining the nationality of Indian Muslims was undertaken by Muhammad Ali Jinnah , who termed it as the awakening of Muslims for the creation of Pakistan . It is also a source of inspiration to several Hindu nationalist organizations , with causes as varied as the redefinition of Indian Muslims as non-Indian foreigners and second - class citizens in India , the expulsion of all Muslims from India , establishment of a legally Hindu state in India , prohibition of conversions to Islam , and the promotion of conversions or reconversions of Indian Muslims to Hinduism . The Hindu Mahasabha leader Lala Lajpat Rai was one of the first persons to demand to bifurcate India by Muslim and Non-Muslim population . He wrote in The Tribune of December 14 , 1924 : Under my scheme the Muslims will have four Muslim States : ( 1 ) The Pathan Province or the North - West Frontier ; ( 2 ) Western Punjab ( 3 ) Sindh and ( 4 ) Eastern Bengal . If there are compact Muslim communities in any other part of India , sufficiently large to form a province , they should be similarly constituted . But it should be distinctly understood that this is not a united India . It means a clear partition of India into a Muslim India and a non-Muslim India . There are varying interpretations of the two - nation theory , based on whether the two postulated nationalities can coexist in one territory or not , with radically different implications . One interpretation argued for sovereign autonomy , including the right to secede , for Muslim - majority areas of the Indian subcontinent , but without any transfer of populations ( i.e. Hindus and Muslims would continue to live together ) . A different interpretation contends that Hindus and Muslims constitute `` two distinct , and frequently antagonistic ways of life , and that therefore they can not coexist in one nation . '' In this version , a transfer of populations ( i.e. the total removal of Hindus from Muslim - majority areas and the total removal of Muslims from Hindu - majority areas ) is a desirable step towards a complete separation of two incompatible nations that `` can not coexist in a harmonious relationship '' . Opposition to the theory has come from two sources . The first is the concept of a single Indian nation , of which Hindus and Muslims are two intertwined communities . This is a founding principle of the modern , officially secular , Republic of India . Even after the formation of Pakistan , debates on whether Muslims and Hindus are distinct nationalities or not continued in that country as well . The second source of opposition is the concept that while Indians are not one nation , neither are the Muslims or Hindus of the subcontinent , and it is instead the relatively homogeneous provincial units of the subcontinent which are true nations and deserving of sovereignty ; this view has been presented by the Baloch , Sindhi , and Pashtun sub-nationalities of Pakistan and the Assamese and Punjabi sub-nationalities of India .

Although Choudhry Rahmat Ali had in 1933 produced a pamphlet , Now or never , in which the term `` Pakistan '' , `` the land of the pure '' , comprising the Punjab , North West Frontier Province ( Afghania ) , Kashmir , Sindh , and Balochistan , was coined for the first time , the pamphlet did not attract political attention . A little later , a Muslim delegation to the Parliamentary Committee on Indian Constitutional Reforms gave short shrift to the Pakistan idea , calling it `` chimerical and impracticable '' . In 1932 , the British Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald accepted Ambedkar 's demand for the `` Depressed Classes '' to have separate representation in the central and provincial legislatures . The Muslim League favoured the award as it had the potential to weaken the caste Hindu leadership . However Mahatma Gandhi , who was seen as a leading advocate for Dalit rights , went on a fast unto death to persuade the British to repeal the award . Ambedkar had to back down when it seemed Gandhi 's life was threatened . Two years later , the Government of India Act 1935 introduced provincial autonomy , increasing the number of voters in India to 35 million . More significantly , law and order issues were for the first time devolved from British authority to provincial governments headed by Indians . This increased Muslim anxieties about eventual Hindu domination . In the Indian provincial elections , 1937 , the Muslim League turned out its best performance in Muslim - minority provinces such as the United Provinces , where it won 29 of the 64 reserved Muslim seats . However , in the Muslim - majority regions of the Punjab and Bengal regional parties outperformed the League . In the Punjab , the Unionist Part of Sikandar Hayat Khan , won the elections and formed a government , with the support of the Indian National Congress and the Shiromani Akali Dal , which lasted five years . In Bengal , the League had to share power in a coalition headed by A.K. Fazlul Huq , the leader of the Krishak Praja Party . The Congress , on the other hand , with 716 wins in the total of 1585 provincial assemblies seats , was able to form governments in 7 out of the 11 provinces of British India . In its manifesto the Congress maintained that religious issues were of lesser importance to the masses than economic and social issues , however , the election revealed that the Congress had contested just 58 out of the total 482 Muslim seats , and of these , it won in only 26 . In UP , where the Congress won , it offered to share power with the League on condition that the League stop functioning as a representative only of Muslims , which the League refused . This proved to be a mistake as it alienated the Congress further from the Muslim masses . In addition , the new UP provincial administration promulgated cow protection and the use of Hindi . The Muslim elite in UP was further alienated , when they saw chaotic scenes of the new Congress Raj , in which rural people who sometimes turned up in large numbers in Government buildings , were indistinguishable from the administrators and the law enforcement personnel . The Muslim League conducted its own investigation into the conditions of Muslims under Congress - governed provinces . The findings of such investigations increased fear among the Muslim masses of future Hindu domination . The view that Muslims would be unfairly treated in an independent India dominated by the Congress was now a part of the public discourse of Muslims . With the outbreak of World War II in 1939 , the viceroy , Lord Linlithgow , declared war on India 's behalf without consulting Indian leaders , leading the Congress provincial ministries to resign in protest . The Muslim League , which functioned under state patronage , in contrast , organized `` Deliverance Day '' , celebrations ( from Congress dominance ) and supported Britain in the war effort . When Linlithgow , met with nationalist leaders , he gave the same status to Jinnah as he did to Gandhi , and a month later described the Congress as a `` Hindu organization . '' In March 1940 , in the League 's annual three - day session in Lahore , Jinnah gave a two - hour speech in English , in which were laid out the arguments of the Two - nation theory , stating , in the words of historians Talbot and Singh , that `` Muslims and Hindus ... were irreconcilably opposed monolithic religious communities and as such no settlement could be imposed that did not satisfy the aspirations of the former . '' On the last day of its session , the League passed , what came to be known as the Lahore Resolution , sometimes also `` Pakistan Resolution '' , demanding that `` the areas in which the Muslims are numerically in majority as in the North - Western and Eastern zones of India should be grouped to constitute independent states in which the constituent units shall be autonomous and sovereign . '' Though it had been founded more than three decades earlier , the League would gather support among South Asian Muslims only during the Second World War . Viceroy Linlithgow proposed in August 1940 that India be granted a Dominion status at the conclusion of the war . Having not taken the Pakistan idea seriously , Linlithgow supposed that what Jinnah actually wanted was a non-federal arrangement without Hindu domination . To allay Muslim fears of Hindu domination the ' August offer ' was accompanied with the promise that a future constitution would take the views of minorities into consideration . Neither the Congress nor Muslim League were satisfied with the offer and both rejected it in September . The Congress once again started a program of civil disobedience . In March 1942 , with the Japanese fast moving up the Malayan Peninsula after the Fall of Singapore , and with the Americans supporting independence for India , Winston Churchill , the wartime Prime Minister of Britain , sent Sir Stafford Cripps , the leader of the House of Commons , with an offer of dominion status to India at the end of the war in return for the Congress 's support for the war effort . Not wishing to lose the support of the allies they had already secured -- the Muslim League , Unionists of the Punjab , and the Princes -- the Cripps offer included a clause stating that no part of the British Indian Empire would be forced to join the post-war Dominion . The League rejected the Cripps offer , seeing this clause as insufficient in meeting the principle of Pakistan . As a result of that proviso , the proposals were also rejected by the Congress , which , since its founding as a polite group of lawyers in 1885 , saw itself as the representative of all Indians of all faiths . After the arrival in 1920 of Gandhi , the preeminent strategist of Indian nationalism , the Congress had been transformed into a mass nationalist movement of millions . In August 1942 , the Congress launched the Quit India Resolution which asked for drastic constitutional changes , which the British saw as the most serious threat to their rule since the Indian rebellion of 1857 . With their resources and attention already spread thin by a global war , the nervous British immediately jailed the Congress leaders and kept them in jail until August 1945 , whereas the Muslim League was now free for the next three years to spread its message . Consequently , the Muslim League 's ranks surged during the war , with Jinnah himself admitting , `` The war which nobody welcomed proved to be a blessing in disguise . '' Although there were other important national Muslim politicians such as Congress leader Abul Kalam Azad , and influential regional Muslim politicians such as A.K. Fazlul Huq of the leftist Krishak Praja Party in Bengal , Sikander Hyat Khan of the landlord - dominated Punjab Unionist Party , and Abd al - Ghaffar Khan of the pro-Congress Khudai Khidmatgar ( popularly , `` red shirts '' ) in the North West Frontier Province , the British were to increasingly see the League as the main representative of Muslim India . The Muslim League 's demand for Pakistan pitted it against the British and Congress . 1946 election , Cabinet Mission , Direct Action day , plan for Partition , independence : 1946 -- 1947 ( edit ) Further information : Indian general election , 1945 and Indian provincial elections , 1946 Members of the 1946 Cabinet Mission to India meeting Muhammad Ali Jinnah .

Labour Prime Minister Clement Attlee had been deeply interested in Indian independence since the 1920s , and for years had supported independence . He now took charge of the government position and gave the issue highest priority . In January 1946 , a number of mutinies broke out in the armed services , starting with that of RAF servicemen frustrated with their slow repatriation to Britain . The mutinies came to a head with mutiny of the Royal Indian Navy in Bombay in February 1946 , followed by others in Calcutta , Madras , and Karachi . Although the mutinies were rapidly suppressed , they had the effect of spurring the Attlee government to action . A Cabinet Mission was sent to India led by the Secretary of State for India , Lord Pethick Lawrence , which also included Sir Stafford Cripps , who had visited India four years before . The objective of the mission was to arrange for an orderly transfer to independence . In early 1946 , new elections were held in India . With the announcement of the elections the line had been drawn for Muslim voters to choose between a united Indian state or Partition . Earlier , at the end of the war in 1945 , the colonial government had announced the public trial of three senior officers of Subhas Chandra Bose 's defeated Indian National Army who stood accused of treason . Now as the trials began , the Congress leadership , although it never supported the INA , chose to defend the accused officers . The subsequent convictions of the officers , the public outcry against the convictions , and the eventual remission of the sentences created positive propaganda for the Congress , which enabled it to win the party 's subsequent electoral victories in eight of the eleven provinces . The negotiations between the Congress and the Muslim League , however , stumbled over the issue of the partition . British rule had lost its legitimacy for most Hindus and conclusive proof of this came in the form of the 1946 elections with the Congress winning 91 percent of the vote among non-Muslim constituencies , thereby gaining a majority in the Central Legislature and forming governments in eight provinces , and becoming the legitimate successor to the British government for most Hindus . If the British intended to stay in India the acquiescence of politically active Indians to British rule would have been in doubt after these election results , although the views of many rural Indians were uncertain even at that point . The Muslim League won the majority of the Muslim vote as well as most reserved Muslim seats in the provincial assemblies and it also secured all the Muslim seats in the Central Assembly . Recovering from its performance in the 1937 elections , the Muslim League was finally able to make good on the claim that it and Jinnah alone represented India 's Muslims and Jinnah quickly interpreted this vote as a popular demand for a separate homeland ; he proclaimed : The Muslims and Hindus belong to two different religious philosophies , social customs , and literatures . They neither intermarry nor interdine ( eat ) together and , indeed , they belong to two different civilizations . However , tensions heightened while the Muslim League was unable to form ministries outside the two provinces of Sind and Bengal , with the Congress forming a ministry in the NFWP and the key Punjab province coming under a coalition ministry of the Congress , Sikhs and Unionists . The British , while not approving of a separate Muslim homeland , appreciated the simplicity of a single voice to speak on behalf of India 's Muslims . Britain had wanted India and its army to remain united for the purpose of keeping India in its system of ' imperial defence ' . With India 's two political parties unable to come to an agreement , Britain devised the Cabinet Mission Plan . Through this mission , Britain hoped to preserve the united India which they and the Congress desired , while concurrently securing the essence of Jinnah 's demand for a Pakistan through ' groupings ' . The Cabinet mission scheme encapsulated a federal arrangement consisting of three groups of provinces . Two of these groupings would consist of predominantly Muslim provinces , while the third grouping would be made up of the predominantly Hindu regions . The provinces would be autonomous but the center would retain control over defence , foreign affairs and communications . Though the proposals did not offer independent Pakistan , the Muslim League accepted the proposals . Even though the unity of India would have been preserved , the Congress leaders , especially Nehru , believed it would leave the Center weak . On 10 July 1946 Nehru gave a `` provocative speech '' , rejected the idea of grouping the provinces and `` effectively torpedoed '' both the Cabinet mission plan and the prospect of a United India . After the Cabinet Mission broke down , Jinnah proclaimed 16 August 1946 Direct Action Day , with the stated goal of peacefully highlighting the demand for a Muslim homeland in British India . However , on the morning of the 16th , armed Muslim gangs gathered at the Ochterlony Monument in Calcutta to hear Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy , the League 's Chief Minister of Bengal , who , in the words of historian Yasmin Khan , `` if he did not explicitly incite violence certainly gave the crowd the impression that they could act with impunity , that neither the police nor the military would be called out and that the ministry would turn a blind eye to any action they unleashed in the city . '' That very evening , in Calcutta , Hindus were attacked by returning Muslim celebrants , who carried pamphlets distributed earlier which showed a clear connection between violence and the demand for Pakistan , and directly implicated the celebration of Direct Action Day with the outbreak of the cycle of violence that would later be called the `` Great Calcutta Killing of August 1946 '' . The next day , Hindus struck back and the violence continued for three days in which approximately 4,000 people died ( according to official accounts ) , Hindus and Muslims in equal numbers . Although India had had outbreaks of religious violence between Hindus and Muslims before , the Calcutta killings were the first to display elements of `` ethnic cleansing '' , in modern parlance . Violence was not confined to the public sphere , but homes were entered and destroyed and women and children were attacked . Although the Government of India and the Congress were both shaken by the course of events , in September , a Congress - led interim government was installed , with Jawaharlal Nehru as united India 's prime minister . The communal violence spread to Bihar ( where Muslims were attacked by Hindus ) , to Noakhali in Bengal ( where Hindus were targeted by Muslims ) , to Garhmukteshwar in the United Provinces ( where Muslims were attacked by Hindus ) , and on to Rawalpindi in March 1947 in which Hindus were attacked or driven out by Muslims . The British Prime Minister Attlee appointed Lord Louis Mountbatten as India 's last viceroy , who was given the task to oversee British India 's independence by June 1948 , with the instruction to avoid partition and preserve a United India , but with adaptational authority to ensure a British withdrawal with minimal setbacks . Mountbatten hoped to revive the Cabinet Mission scheme for a federal arrangement for India . But despite his initial keenness for preserving the center the tense communal situation caused him to conclude that partition had become necessary for a quicker transfer of power . Vallabhbhai Patel was one of the first Congress leaders to accept the partition of India as a solution to the rising Muslim separatist movement led by Muhammad Ali Jinnah . He had been outraged by Jinnah 's Direct Action campaign , which had provoked communal violence across India and by the viceroy 's vetoes of his home department 's plans to stop the violence on the grounds of constitutionality . Patel severely criticised the viceroy 's induction of League ministers into the government , and the revalidation of the grouping scheme by the British without Congress approval . Although further outraged at the League 's boycott of the assembly and non-acceptance of the plan of 16 May despite entering government , he was also aware that Jinnah did enjoy popular support amongst Muslims , and that an open conflict between him and the nationalists could degenerate into a Hindu - Muslim civil war of disastrous consequences . The continuation of a divided and weak central government would in Patel 's mind , result in the wider fragmentation of India by encouraging more than 600 princely states towards independence . Between the months of December 1946 and January 1947 , Patel worked with civil servant V.P. Menon on the latter 's suggestion for a separate dominion of Pakistan created out of Muslim - majority provinces . Communal violence in Bengal and Punjab in January and March 1947 further convinced Patel of the soundness of partition . Patel , a fierce critic of Jinnah 's demand that the Hindu - majority areas of Punjab and Bengal be included in a Muslim state , obtained the partition of those provinces , thus blocking any possibility of their inclusion in Pakistan . Patel 's decisiveness on the partition of Punjab and Bengal had won him many supporters and admirers amongst the Indian public , which had tired of the League 's tactics , but he was criticised by Gandhi , Nehru , secular Muslims and socialists for a perceived eagerness to do so . When Lord Louis Mountbatten formally proposed the plan on 3 June 1947 , Patel gave his approval and lobbied Nehru and other Congress leaders to accept the proposal . Knowing Gandhi 's deep anguish regarding proposals of partition , Patel engaged him in frank discussion in private meetings over the perceived practical unworkability of any Congress - League coalition , the rising violence and the threat of civil war . At the All India Congress Committee meeting called to vote on the proposal , Patel said : I fully appreciate the fears of our brothers from ( the Muslim - majority areas ) . Nobody likes the division of India and my heart is heavy . But the choice is between one division and many divisions . We must face facts . We can not give way to emotionalism and sentimentality . The Working Committee has not acted out of fear . But I am afraid of one thing , that all our toil and hard work of these many years might go waste or prove unfruitful . My nine months in office has completely disillusioned me regarding the supposed merits of the Cabinet Mission Plan . Except for a few honorable exceptions , Muslim officials from the top down to the chaprasis ( peons or servants ) are working for the League . The communal veto given to the League in the Mission Plan would have blocked India 's progress at every stage . Whether we like it or not , de facto Pakistan already exists in the Punjab and Bengal . Under the circumstances I would prefer a de jure Pakistan , which may make the League more responsible . Freedom is coming . We have 75 to 80 percent of India , which we can make strong with our own genius . The League can develop the rest of the country . Following Gandhi 's denial but Congress ' approval of the plan , Patel represented India on the Partition Council , where he oversaw the division of public assets , and selected the Indian council of ministers with Nehru . However , neither he nor any other Indian leader had foreseen the intense violence and population transfer that would take place with partition . Late in 1946 , the Labour government in Britain , its exchequer exhausted by the recently concluded World War II , decided to end British rule of India , and in early 1947 Britain announced its intention of transferring power no later than June 1948 . However , with the British army unprepared for the potential for increased violence , the new viceroy , Louis Mountbatten , advanced the date for the transfer of power , allowing less than six months for a mutually agreed plan for independence . In June 1947 , the nationalist leaders , including Nehru and Abul Kalam Azad on behalf of the Congress , Jinnah representing the Muslim League , B.R. Ambedkar representing the Untouchable community , and Master Tara Singh representing the Sikhs , agreed to a partition of the country along religious lines in stark opposition to Gandhi 's views . The predominantly Hindu and Sikh areas were assigned to the new India and predominantly Muslim areas to the new nation of Pakistan ; the plan included a partition of the Muslim - majority provinces of Punjab and Bengal . The communal violence that accompanied the announcement of the Radcliffe Line , the line of partition , was even more horrific . Describing the violence that accompanied the Partition of India , historians Ian Talbot and Gurharpal Singh write : There are numerous eyewitness accounts of the maiming and mutilation of victims . The catalogue of horrors includes the disembowelling of pregnant women , the slamming of babies ' heads against brick walls , the cutting off of victims limbs and genitalia and the displaying of heads and corpses . While previous communal riots had been deadly , the scale and level of brutality during the Partition massacres was unprecedented . Although some scholars question the use of the term ' genocide ' with respect to the Partition massacres , much of the violence was manifested with genocidal tendencies . It was designed to cleanse an existing generation and prevent its future reproduction . '' On 14 August 1947 , the new Dominion of Pakistan came into being , with Muhammad Ali Jinnah sworn in as its first Governor General in Karachi . The following day , 15 August 1947 , India , now a smaller Union of India , became an independent country with official ceremonies taking place in New Delhi , and with Jawaharlal Nehru assuming the office of prime minister , and the viceroy , Louis Mountbatten , staying on as its first Governor General ; Gandhi , however , remained in Bengal , preferring instead to work with the new refugees from the partitioned subcontinent . Geographic Partition , 1947 ( edit ) Mountbatten plan ( edit ) Mountbatten with a countdown calendar to the Transfer of Power in the background The actual division of British India between the two new dominions was accomplished according to what has come to be known as the 3 June Plan or Mountbatten Plan . It was announced at a press conference by Mountbatten on 3 June 1947 , when the date of independence was also announced -- 15 August 1947 . The plan 's main points were : Sikhs , Hindus and Muslims in Punjab and Bengal legislative assemblies would meet and vote for partition . If a simple majority of either group wanted partition , then these provinces would be divided . Sind and Baluchistan were to make their own decision . The fate of North West Frontier Province and Sylhet district of Assam was to be decided by a referendum . India would be independent by 15 August 1947 . The separate independence of Bengal was ruled out . A boundary commission to be set up in case of partition . The Indian political leaders accepted the Plan on 2 June . It did not deal with the question of the princely states , but on 3 June Mountbatten advised them against remaining independent and urged them to join one of the two new dominions . The Muslim League 's demands for a separate state were thus conceded . The Congress ' position on unity was also taken into account while making Pakistan as small as possible . Mountbatten 's formula was to divide India and at the same time retain maximum possible unity . Abul Kalam Azad expressed concern over the likelihood of violent riots , to which Mountbatten replied : At least on this question I shall give you complete assurance . I shall see to it that there is no bloodshed and riot . I am a soldier and not a civilian . Once partition is accepted in principle , I shall issue orders to see that there are no communal disturbances anywhere in the country . If there should be the slightest agitation , I shall adopt the sternest measures to nip the trouble in the bud . Jagmohan has stated that this and what followed shows the `` glaring '' `` failure of the government machinery '' . On 3 June 1947 , the partition plan was accepted by the Congress Working Committee . Boloji states that in Punjab there were no riots but there was communal tension , while Gandhi was reportedly isolated by Nehru and Patel and observed maun vrat ( day of silence ) . Mountbatten visited Gandhi and said he hoped that he would not oppose the partition , to which Gandhi wrote the reply : `` Have I ever opposed you ? '' Within British India , the border between India and Pakistan ( the Radcliffe Line ) was determined by a British Government - commissioned report prepared under the chairmanship of a London barrister , Sir Cyril Radcliffe . Pakistan came into being with two non-contiguous enclaves , East Pakistan ( today Bangladesh ) and West Pakistan , separated geographically by India . India was formed out of the majority Hindu regions of British India , and Pakistan from the majority Muslim areas . On 18 July 1947 , the British Parliament passed the Indian Independence Act that finalized the arrangements for partition and abandoned British suzerainty over the princely states , of which there were several hundred , leaving them free to choose whether to accede to one of the new dominions . The Government of India Act 1935 was adapted to provide a legal framework for the new dominions . Following its creation as a new country in August 1947 , Pakistan applied for membership of the United Nations and was accepted by the General Assembly on 30 September 1947 . The Dominion of India continued to have the existing seat as India had been a founding member of the United Nations since 1945 . Radcliffe Line ( edit ) Further information : Radcliffe Line A map of the Punjab region c. 1947 . The Punjab -- the region of the five rivers east of Indus : Jhelum , Chenab , Ravi , Beas , and Sutlej -- consists of interfluvial doabs , or tracts of land lying between two confluent rivers . These are the Sind - Sagar doab ( between Indus and Jhelum ) , the Jech doab ( Jhelum / Chenab ) , the Rechna doab ( Chenab / Ravi ) , the Bari doab ( Ravi / Beas ) , and the Bist doab ( Beas / Sutlej ) ( see map on the right ) . In early 1947 , in the months leading up to the deliberations of the Punjab Boundary Commission , the main disputed areas appeared to be in the Bari and Bist doabs , although some areas in the Rechna doab were claimed by the Congress and Sikhs . In the Bari doab , the districts of Gurdaspur , Amritsar , Lahore , and Montgomery were all disputed . All districts ( other than Amritsar , which was 46.5 % Muslim ) had Muslim majorities ; albeit , in Gurdaspur , the Muslim majority , at 51.1 % , was slender . At a smaller area - scale , only three tehsils ( sub-units of a district ) in the Bari doab had non-Muslim majorities . These were : Pathankot ( in the extreme north of Gurdaspur , which was not in dispute ) , and Amritsar and Tarn Taran in Amritsar district . In addition , there were four Muslim - majority tehsils east of Beas - Sutlej ( with two where Muslims outnumbered Hindus and Sikhs together ) . Before the Boundary Commission began formal hearings , governments were set up for the East and the West Punjab regions . Their territories were provisionally divided by `` notional division '' based on simple district majorities . In both the Punjab and Bengal , the Boundary Commission consisted of two Muslim and two non-Muslim judges with Sir Cyril Radcliffe as a common chairman . The mission of the Punjab commission was worded generally as : `` To demarcate the boundaries of the two parts of the Punjab , on the basis of ascertaining the contiguous majority areas of Muslims and non-Muslims . In doing so , it will take into account other factors . '' Each side ( the Muslims and the Congress / Sikhs ) presented its claim through counsel with no liberty to bargain . The judges too had no mandate to compromise and on all major issues they `` divided two and two , leaving Sir Cyril Radcliffe the invidious task of making the actual decisions .

A refugee train on its way to Punjab , Pakistan Massive population exchanges occurred between the two newly formed states in the months immediately following the Partition . `` The population of undivided India in 1947 was approx 390 million . After partition , there were 330 million people in India , 30 million in West Pakistan , and 30 million people in East Pakistan ( now Bangladesh ) . '' Once the lines were established , about 14.5 million people crossed the borders to what they hoped was the relative safety of religious majority . The 1951 Census of Pakistan identified the number of displaced persons in Pakistan at 7,226,600 , presumably all Muslims who had entered Pakistan from India . Similarly , the 1951 Census of India enumerated 7,295,870 displaced persons , apparently all Hindus and Sikhs who had moved to India from Pakistan immediately after the Partition . The two numbers add up to 14.5 million . Since both censuses were held about 3.6 years after the Partition , the enumeration included net population increase after the mass migration . About 11.2 million ( 77.4 % of the displaced persons ) were in the west , with the Punjab accounting for most of it : 6.5 million Muslims moved from India to West Pakistan , and 4.7 million Hindus and Sikhs moved from West Pakistan to India ; thus the net migration in the west from India to West Pakistan ( now Pakistan ) was 1.8 million . The remaining 3.3 million ( 22.6 % of the displaced persons ) were in the east : 2.6 million moved from East Pakistan to India and 0.7 million moved from India to East Pakistan ( now Bangladesh ) ; thus net migration in the east was 1.9 million into India . There was no conception that population transfers would be necessary because of the partitioning . Religious minorities were expected to stay put in the states they found themselves residing in . However , an exception was made for Punjab where transfer of populations were organised because of the communal violence affecting the province . This did not apply to other provinces . Punjab ( edit ) A refugee special train at Ambala Station during partition of India The Partition of British India split the former British province of Punjab between the Dominion of India and the Dominion of Pakistan . The mostly Muslim western part of the province became Pakistan 's Punjab province ; the mostly Sikh and Hindu eastern part became India 's East Punjab state ( later divided into Punjab , Haryana and Himachal Pradesh ) . Many Hindus and Sikhs lived in the west , and many Muslims lived in the east , and the fears of all such minorities were so great that the Partition saw many people displaced and much intercommunal violence . Some have described the violence in Punjab as a retributive genocide . The newly formed governments were completely unequipped to deal with migrations of such staggering magnitude , and massive violence and slaughter occurred on both sides of the border . Estimates of the number of deaths vary , with low estimates at 200,000 and high estimates at 2,000,000 . Virtually no Muslim survived in East Punjab ( except in Malerkotla ) and virtually no Hindu or Sikh survived in West Punjab . Lawrence James observed that ' Sir Francis Mudie , the governor of West Punjab , estimated that 500,000 Muslims died trying to enter his province , while the British high commissioner in Karachi put the full total at 800,000 ... This makes nonsense of the claim by Mountbatten and his partisans that only 200,000 were killed : ( James 1998 : 636 ) `` . According to political scientist Ishtiaq Ahmed , `` in March 1947 the Muslims started large - scale violence , mainly against Sikhs but also against Hindus , in the Muslim - majority districts of northern Punjab . Yet at the end of that year more Muslims had been killed in East Punjab than Hindus and Sikhs together in West Punjab . '' Nehru wrote to Gandhi on 22 August that up to then , twice as many Muslims had been killed in East Punjab than Hindus and Sikhs in West Punjab . Bengal ( edit ) Main article : Partition of Bengal ( 1947 ) The province of Bengal was divided into the two separate entities of West Bengal , awarded to the Dominion of India , and East Bengal , awarded to the Dominion of Pakistan . East Bengal was renamed East Pakistan in 1955 , and later became the independent nation of Bangladesh after the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971 . While the Muslim majority districts of Murshidabad and Malda were given to India , the Hindu majority district of Khulna and the Buddhist majority , but sparsely populated , Chittagong Hill Tracts were given to Pakistan by the Radcliffe award . Thousands of Hindus , located in the districts of East Bengal which were awarded to Pakistan , found themselves being attacked and this religious persecution forced hundreds of thousands of Hindus from East Bengal to seek refuge in India . The huge influx of Hindu refugees into Calcutta affected the demographics of the city . Many Muslims left the city for East Pakistan and some of their homes and properties were occupied by the refugee families . Sindh ( edit ) Most of Sindh 's prosperous middle class at the time of Partition was Hindu . At the time of Partition there were 1,400,000 Hindu Sindhis , though most were concentrated in cities such as Hyderabad , Karachi , Shikarpur , and Sukkur . Hundreds of Hindus residing in Sindh were forced to migrate . Some anti-Hindu violence in Sindh was precipitated by the arrival of Muslim refugees from India with minimal local Muslim support for the rioters . Sindhi Hindus faced low scale rioting unlike the Punjabi Hindus and Sikhs who had to migrate from West Punjab . On 6 December 1947 , communal violence broke out in Ajmer in India , precipitated by an argument between Sindhi Hindu refugees and local Muslims in the Dargah Bazaar . Violence in Ajmer again broke out in the middle of December with stabbings , looting and arson resulting in mostly Muslim casualties . Many Muslims fled across the Thar Desert to Sindh in Pakistan . This sparked further anti-Hindu riots in Hyderabad , Sindh . On 6 January anti-Hindu riots broke out in Karachi , leading to an estimate of 1100 casualties . 776,000 Sindhi Hindus fled to India . The arrival of Sindhi Hindu refugees in North Gujarat 's town of Godhra sparked the March 1948 riots there which led to an emigration of Muslims from Godhra to Pakistan . Despite the migration , a significant Sindhi Hindu population still resides in Pakistan 's Sindh province where they number at around 2.28 million as per Pakistan 's 1998 census ; the Sindhi Hindus in India were at 2.57 million as per India 's 2001 Census . Some bordering districts in Sindh had a Hindu majority like Tharparkar District , Umerkot , Mirpurkhas , Sanghar and Badin , but their population is decreasing and they consider themselves a minority in decline . In fact , only Umerkot still has a majority of Hindus in the district . The Sindhi community did not face large scale violence , but felt deprivation of homeland and culture . Delhi ( edit ) A crowd of Muslims at the Old Fort ( Purana Qila ) in Delhi , which had been converted into a vast camp for Muslim refugees waiting to be transported to Pakistan . Manchester Guardian , 27 September 1947 . For centuries Delhi had been the capital of the Mughal Empire and of previous Turkic Muslim rulers of North India . The series of Islamic rulers keeping Delhi as a stronghold of their empires left a vast array of Islamic architecture in Delhi and a strong Islamic culture permeated the city . The 1941 Census listed Delhi 's population as being 33.22 % Muslim . However thousands of Hindu and Sikh refugees from Punjab poured into the city . This created an atmosphere of upheavals as anti-Muslim pogroms rocked the historical stronghold of Indo - Islamic culture and politics . Pakistani diplomat in Delhi , Hussain , alleged that the Indian government was intent on eliminating Delhi 's Muslim population or was indifferent to their fate . He reported that Army troops openly gunned down innocent Muslims . Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru estimated 1000 casualties in the city . However other sources claimed that the casualty rate had been 20 times higher . Gyanendra Pandey 's more recent account of the Delhi violence puts the figure of Muslim casualties in Delhi as being between 20,000 -- 25,000 . Tens of thousands of Muslims were driven to refugee camps regardless of their political affiliations and numerous historic sites in Delhi such as the Purana Qila , Idgah and Nizamuddin were transformed into refugee camps . At the culmination of the tensions in Delhi 330,000 Muslims were forced to flee the city to Pakistan . The 1951 Census registered a drop of the Muslim population in the city from 33.22 % in 1941 to 5.33 % in 1951 . Alwar and Bharatpur ( edit ) Alwar and Bharatpur were two princely states of Rajputana ( modern day Rajasthan ) which were the scene of a bloody confrontation between the dominant , land - holding community of Hindu Jats and the cultivating community of Muslim Meos from May 1947 onwards . Well - organised bands of Hindu Jats , Ahirs and Gujars started attacking Muslim Meos in April 1947 . By June more than fifty Muslim villages had been destroyed after attacks by all sides . The Muslim League was outraged and demanded that the Viceroy provide Muslim troops . Accusations emerged in June of the involvement of Indian State Forces from Alwar and Bharatpur in the destruction of Muslim villages both inside their states and in British India . In the wake of unprecedented violent attacks unleashed against them in 1947 , 100,000 Muslim Meos from Alwar and Bharatpur was forced to flee their homes and an estimated 30,000 Meos are said to have been massacred . On 17 November , a column of 80,000 Meo refugees went on their way to Pakistan . However , 10,000 stopped travelling due to the risk of trying to reach and settle in Pakistan . Jammu and Kashmir ( edit ) Main article : 1947 Jammu massacres In September -- November 1947 in the Jammu region of the princely state of Jammu and Kashmir , a large number of Muslims were massacred and others driven away to West Punjab . The impetus for this violence was partly provided by the influx of a large number of Hindu and Sikh refugees since March 1947 , who brought with them `` harrowing stories of Muslim atrocities '' , to Jammu from West Punjab . The killings were carried out by extremist Hindus and Sikhs , aided and abetted by the forces of the Dogra State headed by the Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir Hari Singh . Observers state that Hari Singh 's aim was to alter the demographics of the region by eliminating the Muslim population , in order to ensure a Hindu majority in the region . Resettlement of refugees in India : 1947 -- 1957 ( edit ) According to the 1951 Census of India , 2 % of India 's population were refugees ( 1.3 % from West Pakistan and 0.7 % from East Pakistan ) . Delhi received the largest number of refugees for a single city -- the population of Delhi grew rapidly in 1947 from under 1 million ( 917,939 ) to a little less than 2 million ( 1,744,072 ) during the period 1941 -- 1951 . The refugees were housed in various historical and military locations such as the Purana Qila , Red Fort , and military barracks in Kingsway Camp ( around the present Delhi University ) . The latter became the site of one of the largest refugee camps in northern India with more than 35,000 refugees at any given time besides Kurukshetra camp near Panipat . The camp sites were later converted into permanent housing through extensive building projects undertaken by the Government of India from 1948 onwards . A number of housing colonies in Delhi came up around this period like Lajpat Nagar , Rajinder Nagar , Nizamuddin East , Punjabi Bagh , Rehgar Pura , Jangpura and Kingsway Camp . A number of schemes such as the provision of education , employment opportunities , and easy loans to start businesses were provided for the refugees at the all - India level . Many Sikhs and Hindu Punjabis came from West Punjab and settled in East Punjab ( which then also included Haryana and Himachal Pradesh ) and Delhi . Hindus fleeing from East Pakistan ( now Bangladesh ) settled across Eastern India and Northeastern India , many ending up in neighbouring Indian states such as West Bengal , Assam , and Tripura . Some migrants were sent to the Andaman islands where Bengalis today form the largest linguistic group . Sindhi Hindus settled predominantly in Gujarat , Maharashtra and Rajasthan . Some , however , settled further afield in Madhya Pradesh . A new township was established for Sindhi Hindu refugees in Maharashtra . The Governor - General of India , Sir Rajagopalachari , laid the foundation for this township and named it Ulhasnagar ( namely ' city of joy ' ) . Resettlement of refugees in Pakistan : 1947 -- 1957 ( edit ) The 1951 Census of Pakistan recorded that the largest number of Muslim refugees came from the East Punjab and nearby Rajputana states ( Alwar and Bharatpur ) . They were a number of 5,783,100 and constituted 80.1 % of Pakistan 's total refugee population . This was the effect of the retributive ethnic cleansing on both sides of the Punjab where the Muslim population of East Punjab was forcibly expelled like the Hindu / Sikh population in West Punjab . Migration from other regions of India were as follows : Bihar , West Bengal and Orissa , 700,300 or 9.8 % ; UP and Delhi 464,200 or 2.4 % ; Gujarat and Bombay , 160,400 or 2.2 % ; Bhopal and Hyderabad 95,200 or 1.2 % ; and Madras and Mysore 18,000 or 0.2 % . So far as their settlement in Pakistan is concerned , 97.4 % of the refugees from East Punjab and its contiguous areas went to West Punjab ; 95.9 % from Bihar , West Bengal and Orissa to the erstwhile East Pakistan ; 95.5 % from UP and Delhi to West Pakistan , mainly Karachi and Sind ; 97.2 % from Bhopal and Hyderabad to West Pakistan , mainly Karachi ; and 98.9 % from Bombay and Gujarat to West Pakistan , largely to Karachi ; and 98.9 % from Madras and Mysore went to West Pakistan , mainly Karachi . West Punjab received the largest number of refugees ( 73.1 % ) , mainly from East Punjab and its contiguous areas . East Bengal received the second largest number of refugees , 699,100 , who constituted 9.7 % of the total Muslim refugee population in Pakistan . 66.69 % of the refugees in East Bengal originated from West Bengal , 14.50 % from Bihar and 11.84 % from Assam . Karachi received 8.5 % of the total migrant population while Sind received 7.6 % . NWFP and Baluchistan received the lowest number of migrants . NWFP received 51,100 migrants ( 0.7 % of the migrant population ) while Baluchistan received 28,000 ( 0.4 % of the migrant population ) . The Government undertook a census of refugees in West Punjab in 1948 , which displayed their place of origin in India . Data on the Number of Muslim refugees in West Punjab from the Districts of East Punjab and Neighbouring Regions Places show Number Amritsar ( East Punjab ) 741,444 Jalandhar ( East Punjab ) 520,189 Gurdaspur ( East Punjab ) 499,793 Hoshiarpur ( East Punjab ) 384,448 Karnal ( East Punjab ) 306,509 Hissar ( East Punjab ) 287,479 Ludhiana ( East Punjab ) 255,864 Ambala ( East Punjab ) 222,939 Gurgaon ( East Punjab ) 80,537 Rohtak ( East Punjab ) 172,640 Delhi 91,185 Kangra ( East Punjab ) 33,826 United Provinces 28,363 Shimla ( East Punjab ) 11,300 Data on the Number of Muslim refugees in West Punjab from the Princely states in East Punjab and Rajputana Name show Number Patiala ( East Punjab ) 308,948 Alwar ( Rajputana ) 191,567 Kapurthala ( East Punjab ) 172,079 Faridkot ( East Punjab ) 66,596 Bharatpur ( Rajputana ) 43,614 Nabha ( East Punjab ) 43,538 Jind ( East Punjab ) 41,696 Together other small states 39,322 Missing persons ( edit ) A study of the total population inflows and outflows in the districts of the Punjab , using the data provided by the 1931 and 1951 Census has led to an estimate of 1.26 million missing Muslims who left western India but did not reach Pakistan . The corresponding number of missing Hindus / Sikhs along the western border is estimated to be approximately 0.84 million . This puts the total of missing people , due to Partition - related migration along the Punjab border , to around 2.23 million . Another study of the demographic consequences of partition in the Punjab region using the 1931 , 1941 and 1951 censuses concluded that between 2.3 and 3.2 million people went missing in the Punjab . Rehabilitation of women ( edit ) See also : Violence against women during the partition of India Both sides promised each other that they would try to restore women abducted and raped during the riots . The Indian government claimed that 33,000 Hindu and Sikh women were abducted , and the Pakistani government claimed that 50,000 Muslim women were abducted during riots . By 1949 , there were governmental claims that 12,000 women had been recovered in India and 6,000 in Pakistan . By 1954 , there were 20,728 Muslim women recovered from India and 9,032 Hindu and Sikh women recovered from Pakistan . Most of the Hindu and Sikh women refused to go back to India , fearing that they would never be accepted by their family , a fear mirrored by Muslim women . Post-partition migration ( edit ) Pakistan ( edit ) Even after the 1951 Census many Muslim families from India continued migrating to Pakistan throughout the 1950s and the early 1960s . According to historian Omar Khalidi the Indian Muslim migration to West Pakistan between December 1947 and December 1971 was from U.P. , Delhi , Gujarat , Rajasthan , Maharashtra , Madhya Pradesh , Karnataka , Andhra Pradesh , Tamil Nadu and Kerala . The next stage of migration , which lasted between 1973 and the 1990s , was when the migration of Indian Muslims to Pakistan was reduced to its lowest levels since 1947 . The primary destination for these migrants was Karachi and other urban centers in Sindh . In 1959 , the International Labour Organisation ( ILO ) published a report stating that from 1951 to 1956 , a total of 650,000 Muslims from India relocated to West Pakistan . However , Visaria ( 1969 ) raised doubts about the authenticity of the claims about Indian Muslim migration to Pakistan , since the 1961 Census of Pakistan did not corroborate these figures . However , the 1961 Census of Pakistan did incorporate a statement suggesting that there had been a migration of 800,000 people from India to Pakistan throughout the previous decade . Of those who had left for Pakistan , most never came back . Indian Muslim migration to Pakistan declined drastically in the 1970s , a trend noticed by the Pakistani authorities . On June 1995 , Pakistan 's interior minister , Naseerullah Babar , informed the National Assembly that between the period of 1973 -- 1994 , as many as 800,000 visitors came from India on valid travel documents . Of these only 3,393 stayed . In a related trend , intermarriages between Indian and Pakistani Muslims have declined sharply . According to a November 1995 statement of Riaz Khokhar , the Pakistani High Commissioner in New Delhi , the number of cross-border marriages has declined from 40,000 a year in the 1950s and 1960s to barely 300 annually . In the aftermath of the Indo - Pakistani War of 1965 , 3,500 Muslim families migrated from the Indian part of the Thar Desert to the Pakistani section of the Thar Desert . 400 families were settled in Nagar after the 1965 war and an additional 3000 settled in the Chachro taluka in Sind province of West Pakistan . The government of Pakistan provided each family with 12 acres of land . According to government records this land totalled 42,000 acres . The 1951 census in Pakistan recorded 671,000 refugees in East Pakistan , the majority of which came from West Bengal . The rest were from Bihar . According to the ILO in the period 1951 -- 1956 , half a million Indian Muslims migrated to East Pakistan . By 1961 the numbers reached 850,000 . In the aftermath of the riots in Ranchi and Jamshedpur , Biharis continued to migrate to East Pakistan well into the late sixties and added up to around a million . Crude estimates suggest that about 1.5 million Muslims migrated from West Bengal and Bihar to East Bengal in the two decades after partition . India ( edit ) Due to religious persecution in Pakistan , Hindus continue to flee to India . Most of them tend to settle in the state of Rajasthan in India . According to the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan data , just around 1,000 Hindu families fled to India in 2013 . In May 2014 , a member of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz ( PML - N ) , Dr Ramesh Kumar Vankwani , revealed in the National Assembly of Pakistan that around 5,000 Hindus are migrating from Pakistan to India every year . Since India is not a signatory to the 1951 United Nations Refugee Convention it refuses to recognise Pakistani Hindu migrants as refugees . The population in the Tharparkar district in the Sind province of West Pakistan was 80 % Hindu and 20 % Muslim at the time of independence in 1947 . During the Indo - Pakistani wars of 1965 and 1971 , the Hindu upper castes and their retainers fled to India . This led to a massive demographic shift in the district . In 1978 India gave citizenship to 55,000 Pakistanis . By the time of the 1998 census of Pakistan , Muslims made up 64.42 % of the population and Hindus 35.58 % of the population in Tharparkar . The migration of Hindus from East Pakistan to India continued unabated after partition . The 1951 census in India recorded that 2.523 million refugees arrived from East Pakistan , of which 2.061 million migrated to West Bengal while the rest migrated to Assam , Tripura and other states . These refugees arrived in waves and did not come solely at partition . By 1973 their number reached over 6 million . The following data displays the major waves of refugees from East Pakistan and the incidents which precipitated the migrations . Year Reason show Number 1947 Partition 344,000 1948 Hyderabad annexation by India 786,000 1950 1950 Barisal Riots 1,575,000 1956 Pakistan becomes Islamic Republic 320,000 1964 Riots over Hazratbal incident 693,000 1971 Bangladesh liberation war 1,500,000 Perspectives ( edit ) Play media Refugees on train roof during Partition The Partition was a highly controversial arrangement , and remains a cause of much tension on the Indian subcontinent today . According to American scholar Allen McGrath many British leaders including the British Viceroy , Mountbatten , were unhappy over the partition of India . Lord Mountbatten of Burma had not only been accused of rushing the process through , but also is alleged to have influenced the Radcliffe Line in India 's favour . The commission took longer to decide on a final boundary than on the partition itself . Thus the two nations were granted their independence even before there was a defined boundary between them . Some critics allege that British haste led to increased cruelties during the Partition . Because independence was declared prior to the actual Partition , it was up to the new governments of India and Pakistan to keep public order . No large population movements were contemplated ; the plan called for safeguards for minorities on both sides of the new border . It was a task at which both states failed . There was a complete breakdown of law and order ; many died in riots , massacre , or just from the hardships of their flight to safety . What ensued was one of the largest population movements in recorded history . According to Richard Symonds , at the lowest estimate , half a million people perished and twelve million became homeless . However , many argue that the British were forced to expedite the Partition by events on the ground . Once in office , Mountbatten quickly became aware that if Britain were to avoid involvement in a civil war , which seemed increasingly likely , there was no alternative to partition and a hasty exit from India . Law and order had broken down many times before Partition , with much bloodshed on both sides . A massive civil war was looming by the time Mountbatten became Viceroy . After the Second World War , Britain had limited resources , perhaps insufficient to the task of keeping order . Another viewpoint is that while Mountbatten may have been too hasty he had no real options left and achieved the best he could under difficult circumstances . The historian Lawrence James concurs that in 1947 Mountbatten was left with no option but to cut and run . The alternative seemed to be involvement in a potentially bloody civil war from which it would be difficult to get out . Conservative elements in England consider the partition of India to be the moment that the British Empire ceased to be a world power , following Curzon 's dictum : `` the loss of India would mean that Britain drop straight away to a third rate power . '' Venkat Dhulipala rejects the idea that the British divide and rule policy was responsible for partition and elaborates on the perspective that Pakistan was popularly imagined as a sovereign Islamic state or a ' New Medina ' , as a potential successor to the defunct Turkish caliphate and as a leader and protector of the entire Islamic world . Islamic scholars debated over creating Pakistan and its potential to become a true Islamic state The majority of Barelvis supported the creation of Pakistan and believed that any co-operation with Hindus would be counter productive . Most Deobandis , who were led by Maulana Husain Ahmad Madani , were opposed to the creation of Pakistan and the two - nation theory . According to them Muslims and Hindus could be one nation . In their authoritative study of the partition , Ian Talbot and Gurharpal Singh have shown that the partition was not the inevitable end of the so - called British ' divide and rule policy ' nor was it the inevitable end of Hindu - Muslim differences . A cross-border student initiative , The History Project , was launched in 2014 to explore the differences in perception of the events during the British era which led to the partition . The project resulted in a book that explains both interpretations of the shared history in Pakistan and India . Berkeley , California based non-profit organization The 1947 Partition Archive collects oral histories from people who lived through the Partition and consolidates the interviews into an archive . In October 2016 , The Arts and Cultural Heritage Trust ( TAACHT ) of India set up what they describe as `` the world 's first Partition Museum '' at Town Hall in Amritsar ( in Punjab state ) . The Museum , which is open from Tuesday to Sunday , offers multi-media exhibits and documents that describe both the political process that led to partition and carried it forward , and video and written narratives offered by survivors of the events . Artistic depictions of the Partition ( edit ) Main article : Artistic depictions of the partition of India The partition of India and the associated bloody riots inspired many in India and Pakistan to create literary / cinematic depictions of this event . While some creations depicted the massacres during the refugee migration , others concentrated on the aftermath of the partition in terms of difficulties faced by the refugees in both side of the border . Even now , more than 60 years after the partition , works of fiction and films are made that relate to the events of partition . The early members of the Progressive Artist 's Group of Bombay cite `` The Partition '' of India and Pakistan as a key reason for its founding in December 1947 . They included FN Souza , MF Husain , SH Raza , SK Bakre , HA Gade and KH Ara , who went on to become some of the most important and influential Indian artists of the 20th Century . Literature describing the human cost of independence and partition comprises Bal K. Gupta 's memoirs Forgotten Atrocities ( 2012 ) , Khushwant Singh 's Train to Pakistan ( 1956 ) , several short stories such as Toba Tek Singh ( 1955 ) by Saadat Hassan Manto , Urdu poems such as Subh - e-Azadi ( Freedom 's Dawn , 1947 ) by Faiz Ahmad Faiz , Bhisham Sahni 's Tamas ( 1974 ) , Manohar Malgonkar 's A Bend in the Ganges ( 1965 ) , Chaman Nahal 's AZADI ( 1975 ) originally written in English and winner of the Sahitya Akedemi Award in India ( 1977 ) , and Bapsi Sidhwa 's Ice - Candy Man ( 1988 ) , among others . Salman Rushdie 's novel Midnight 's Children ( 1980 ) , which won the Booker Prize and The Best of the Booker , wove its narrative based on the children born with magical abilities on midnight of 14 August 1947 . Freedom at Midnight ( 1975 ) is a non-fiction work by Larry Collins and Dominique Lapierre that chronicled the events surrounding the first Independence Day celebrations in 1947 . There is a paucity of films related to the independence and partition . Early films relating to the circumstances of the independence , partition and the aftermath include Nemai Ghosh 's Chinnamul ( Bengali ) ( 1950 ) , Dharmputra ( 1961 ) Lahore ( 1948 ) , Chhalia ( 1956 ) , Nastik ( 1953 ) . George Cukor 's Bhowani Junction ( 1956 ) , Ritwik Ghatak 's trilogy of Meghe Dhaka Tara ( Bengali ) ( 1960 ) / Komal Gandhar ( Bengali ) ( 1961 ) / Subarnarekha ( Bengali ) ( 1962 ) ; later films include Garm Hava ( 1973 ) and Tamas ( 1987 ) . From the late 1990s onwards , more films on this theme were made , including several mainstream ones , such as Earth ( 1998 ) , Train to Pakistan ( 1998 ) ( based on the aforementined book ) , Hey Ram ( 2000 ) , Gadar : Ek Prem Katha ( 2001 ) , Khamosh Pani ( 2003 ) , Pinjar ( 2003 ) , Partition ( 2007 ) , Madrasapattinam ( 2010 ) and Viceroy 's House ( 2017 ) . The biographical films Gandhi ( 1982 ) , Jinnah ( 1998 ) and Sardar ( 1993 ) also feature independence and partition as significant events in their screenplay . A Pakistani drama Daastan , based on the novel Bano , highlights the plight of Muslim girls who were abducted and raped during partition . The novel Lost Generations ( 2013 ) by Manjit Sachdeva describes the March 1947 massacre in rural areas of Rawalpindi by the Muslim League , followed by massacres on both sides of the new border in August 1947 seen through the eyes of an escaping Sikh family , their settlement and partial rehabilitation in Delhi , and ending in ruin ( including death ) , for the second time in 1984 , at the hands of mobs after a Sikh assassinated the prime minister . The 2013 Google India advertisement Reunion ( about the Partition of India ) has had a strong impact in India and Pakistan , leading to hope for the easing of travel restrictions between the two countries . It went viral and was viewed more than 1.6 million times before officially debuting on television on 15 November 2013 .

Although it was founded in 1909 the League had only caught on among South Asian Muslims during the Second World War .

After the adoption of the March 1940 Lahore resolution , calling for the creation of a separate state or states of Pakistan , he wrote : ' My first reaction is , I confess , that silly as the Muslim scheme for partition is , it would be a pity to throw too much cold water on it at the moment . ' Linlithgow surmised that what Jinnah feared was a federal India dominated by Hindus .

Provincial option , he argued , was clearly an insufficient security . An explicit acceptance of the principle of Pakistan offered the only safeguard for Muslim interests throughout India and had to be the precondition for any advance at the centre . So he exhorted all Indian Muslims to unite under his leadership to force the British and the Congress to concede ' Pakistan ' .

Yet these final years of the raj showed conclusively that British rule had lost legitimacy and that among the vast majority of Hindus Congress had become the raj 's legitimate successor . Tangible proof came in the 1945 - 6 elections to the central and provincial legislatures . In the former Congress won 91 per cent of the votes cast in non-Muslim constituencies ; and in the latter gained an absolute majority and became the provincial raj in eight provinces .

Virtually every Briton wanted to keep India united . Many expressed moral or sentimental obligations to leave India intact , either for the inhabitants ' sake or simply as a lasting testament to the Empire . The Cabinet Defense Committee and the Chiefs of Staff , however , stressed the maintenance of a united India as vital to the defense ( and economy ) of the region . A unified India , an orderly transfer of power , and a bilateral alliance would , they argued , leave Britain 's strategic position undamaged . India 's military assets , including its seemingly limitless manpower , naval and air bases , and expanding production capabilities , would remain accessible to London . India would thus remain of crucial importance as a base , training ground , and staging area for operations from Egypt to the Far East .

Its proposal for an independent India involved a complex , three - tiered federation , whose central feature was the creation of groups of provinces . Two of these groups would comprise the Muslim majority provinces of east and west ; a third would include the Hindu majority regions of the centre and south . These groups , given responsibility for most of the functions of government , would be subordinated to a Union government , would be subordinated to a Union government controlling defence , foreign affairs and communications ... Nevertheless , the Muslim League accepted the Cabinet mission 's proposals . The ball was now in the Congress 's court . Although the grouping scheme preserved a united India , the Congress leadership , above all Jawaharlal Nehru , now slated to be Gandhi 's successor , increasingly came to the conclusion that , under the Cabinet mission proposals the Center would be too weak to achieve the goals of the Congress , which envisioned itself as successor to the Raj . Looking ahead to the future , the Congress , especially its socialist wing headed by Nehru , wanted a central government that could direct and plan for an India , free of colonialism , that might eradicate its people 's poverty and grow into an industrial power . India 's business community also supported the idea of a strong central government ... In a provocative speech on 10 July 1946 , Nehru repudiated the notion of compulsory grouping or provinces , the key to Jinnah 's Pakistan . Provinces , he said , must be free to join any group . With this speech Nehru effectively torpedoed the Cabinet mission scheme , and with it , any hope for a united India . Jump up ^ Khan 2007 , pp. 64 -- 65 .

These instructions were to avoid partition and obtain an unitary government for British India and the Indian States and at the same time observe the pledges to the princes and the Muslims ; to secure agreement to the Cabinet Mission plan without coercing any of the parties ; somehow to keep the Indian army undivided , and to retain India within the Commonwealth .

When Mountbatten arrived , it was not wholly inconceivable that a settlement on the Cabinet Mission 's terms might still be secured ...

British officials were unanimously pessimistic about a Pakistan state 's future economic prospects . The agreement to an Indian Union contained in the Cabinet Mission proposals had been initially accepted by the Muslim League as the grouping proposals gave considerable autonomy in the Muslim majority areas . Moreover , there was the possibility of withdrawal and thus acquiring Pakistan by the backdoor after a ten year interval . The worsening communal situation and extensive soundings with Indian political figures convinced Mountbatten within a month of his arrival that partition was , however , the only way to secure a speedy and smooth transfer of power .

Second , it was feared that if an exchange of populations was agreed to in principle in the Punjab , ' there was likelihood of trouble breaking out in other parts of the subcontinent with a view to forcing Muslims in the Indian Dominion to move to Pakistan . If that happened we would find ourselves with inadequate land and other resources to support the influx . ' The Punjab could set a very dangerous precedent for the rest of the subcontinent . Given that Muslims in the rest of India , some 42 million , formed a population larger than the entire population of West Pakistan at the time , economic rationality eschewed such a forced migration . However , in the divided Punjab millions of people were already on the move , and the two governments had to respond to this mass movement . Thus , despite these important reservations , the establishment of the MEO led to an acceptance of a ' transfer of populations ' in divided Punjab to , ' to give a sense of security ' to ravaged communities on both sides . A statement of the Indian government 's position of such a transfer across divided Punjab was made in the legislature by Neogy on November 18 , 1947 . He stated that although the Indian government 's policy was ' to discourage mass migration from one province to another ' . Punjab was to be an exception . In the rest of the subcontinent migrations were not to be on a planned basis , but a matter of individual choice . This exceptional character of movements across divided Punjab needs to be emphasized , for the agreed and ' planned evacuations ' by the two governments formed the context of those displacements .

Notwithstanding the accumulated evidence of inter-communal tension , the signatories to the agreement that divided the Raj did not expect the transfer if power and the partition of India to be accompanied by a mass movement of population . Partition was conceived as a means of preventing migration on a large scale , because the borders would be adjusted instead . Minorities need not to be troubled by the new configuration . As Pakistan 's first Prime Minister , Liaquat Ali Khan , affirmed , ' the division of India into Pakistan and India Dominions was based on the principle that minorities will stay where they were and that the two states will afford all protection to them as citizens of the respective states ' .

The partition involved the division of three provinces, Assam, Bengal and the Punjab, based on district-wide Hindu or Muslim majorities. The boundary demarcating India and Pakistan became known as the Radcliffe Line. It also involved the division of the British Indian Army, the Royal Indian Navy, the Indian Civil Service, the railways, and the central treasury, between the two new dominions. The partition was set forth in the Indian Independence Act 1947 and resulted in the dissolution of the British Raj, as the British government there was called. The two self-governing countries of Pakistan and India legally came into existence at midnight on 14–15 August 1947.[2]", "The Partition of India was the division of British India[a] in 1947 which accompanied the creation of two independent dominions, India and Pakistan.[1] The Dominion of India is today the Republic of India, and the Dominion of Pakistan is today the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and the People's Republic of Bangladesh.

Irrigation in India
Irrigation in India - wikipedia Irrigation in India Jump to : navigation , search An irrigation canal in Gujarat . Irrigation contributes significantly to the agriculture in India . Polavaram Project Right Canal in Andhra Pradesh Irrigation in India includes a network of major and minor canals from Indian rivers , groundwater well based systems , tanks , and other rainwater harvesting projects for agricultural activities . Of these groundwater system is the largest . In 2013 - 14 , only about 47.7 % of total agricultural land in India was reliably irrigated . The largest canal in India is Indira Gandhi Canal , which is about 650 km long . About 2 / 3rd cultivated land in India is dependent on monsoons . Irrigation in India helps improve food security , reduce dependence on monsoons , improve agricultural productivity and create rural job opportunities . Dams used for irrigation projects help produce electricity and transport facilities , as well as provide drinking water supplies to a growing population , control floods and prevent droughts . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 1.1 Ancient India 1.2 Islamic era 1.3 Colonial era 2 Irrigation trends since 1947 3 Statewise irrigation types , capacity and actual 4 Project classification 5 See also 6 References 7 External links History ( edit ) Ancient India ( edit ) The earliest mentions of irrigation are found in Rigveda chapters 1.55 , 1.85 , 1.105 , 7.9 , 8.69 and 10.101 . The Veda mentions only well - style irrigation , where kupa and avata wells once dug are stated to be always full of water , from which varatra ( rope strap ) and cakra ( wheel ) pull kosa ( pails ) of water . This water was , state the Vedas , led into surmi susira ( broad channels ) and from there into khanitrima ( diverting channels ) into fields . Later , the 4th - century BCE Indian scholar Pāṇini , mentions tapping several rivers for irrigation . The mentioned rivers include Sindhu , Suvastu , Varnu , Sarayu , Vipas and Chandrabhaga . Buddhist texts from the 3rd century BCE also mention irrigation of crops . Texts from the Maurya Empire era ( 3rd century BCE ) mention that the state raised revenue from charging farmers for irrigation services from rivers . Patanjali , in Yogasutra of about the 4th century CE , explains a technique of yoga by comparing it to `` the way a farmer diverts a stream from an irrigation canal for irrigation '' . In Tamil Nadu , the Grand Anicut ( canal ) across the Kaveri river was implemented in the 3rd century CE , and the basic design is still used today . Islamic era ( edit ) Waterworks were undertaken during the Delhi Sultanate and the Mughal Empire era from the 12th to 18th centuries . However , these were primarily to supply water to the palaces and parks of the sultans and other officials . Colonial era ( edit ) Ganges irrigation canal built during the colonial era , and inaugurated in 1854 . In 1800 , some 800,000 hectares was irrigated in India . The British Raj by 1940 built significant number of canals and irrigation systems in Uttar Pradesh , Bihar , Punjab , Assam and Orissa . The Ganges Canal reached 350 miles from Haridwar to Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh . In Assam , a jungle in 1840 , by 1900 had 4,000,000 acres under cultivation , especially in tea plantations . In all , the amount of irrigated land multiplied by a factor of eight . Historian David Gilmour states British colonial government had built irrigation network with Ganges canal and that , `` by the end of the century the new network of canals in the Punjab '' were in place . Much of the increase in irrigation during British colonial era was targeted at dedicated poppy and opium farms in India , for exports to China . Poppy cultivation by the British Raj required reliable , dedicated irrigation system . Large portions of the eastern and northern regions of India , namely United Provinces , Northwestern Provinces , Oudh , Behar , Bengal and Rewa were irrigated to ensure reliable supply of poppy and opium for China . By 1850 , the Asian opium trade created nearly 1,000 square kilometers of poppy farms in India in its fertile Ganges plains , which increased to over 500,000 acres by 1900 . This diversion of food crop land to cash crop use , state scholars , led to massive famines over the 1850 to 1905 period . Major irrigation canals were built after millions of people died each in a series of major famines in the 19th century in British India . In 1900 , British India ( including Bangladesh and Pakistan ) had about 13 million ha under irrigation . In 1901 the Viceroy , Lord Curzon , appointed a Commission chaired by Sir Colin Scott - Moncrieff to draw up a comprehensive irrigation plan for India . In 1903 the Commission 's report recommended irrigation of an additional 2.6 million hectares . By 1947 , the irrigated area had increased to about 22 million ha . In Northwestern British India region alone , with the colonial government 's effort , 2.2 million hectares of previously barren land was irrigated by 1940s , most of which is now part of Pakistan . Arthur Cotton led some irrigation canal projects in the Deccan peninsula , and landmarks are named after him in Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu . However , much of the added irrigation capacity during the colonial era was provided by groundwater wells and tanks , operated manually . Irrigation trends Since 1947 ( edit ) One of the sections of Bhakra Canal system in north India . This canal network irrigates over 4 million hectares of land . India 's irrigation covered crop area was about 22.6 million hectares in 1951 , and it increased to a potential of 90 mha at the end of 1995 , inclusive of canals and groundwater wells . However , the potential irrigation relies of reliable supply of electricity for water pumps and maintenance , and the net irrigated land has been considerably short . According to 2001 / 2002 Agriculture census , only 58.1 million hectares of land was actually irrigated in India . The total arable land in India is 160 million hectares ( 395 million acres ) . According to the World Bank , only about 35 % of total agricultural land in India was reliably irrigated in 2010 . The ultimate sustainable irrigation potential of India has been estimated in a 1991 United Nations ' FAO report to be 139.5 million hectares , comprising 58.5 mha from major and medium river - fed irrigation canal schemes , 15 mha from minor irrigation canal schemes , and 66 mha from groundwater well fed irrigation . India 's irrigation is mostly groundwater well based . At 39 million hectares ( 67 % of its total irrigation ) , India has the world 's largest groundwater well equipped irrigation system ( China with 19 mha is second , USA with 17 mha is third ) . India has spent ₹ 16,590 crore on irrigation development between 1950 and 1985 . Between 2000 - 2005 and 2005 - 2010 , India proposed to invest a sum of ₹ 1 , 03,315 crore and 2 , 10,326 crore on irrigation and flood control in India .

which is the main source of irrigation in india
[ "Irrigation in India includes a network of major and minor canals from Indian rivers, groundwater well based systems, tanks, and other rainwater harvesting projects for agricultural activities. Of these groundwater system is the largest.[1] In 2013-14, only about 47.7% of total agricultural land in India was reliably irrigated.[2] The largest canal in India is Indira Gandhi Canal, which is about 650 km long. About 2/3rd cultivated land in India is dependent on monsoons.[3] Irrigation in India helps improve food security, reduce dependence on monsoons, improve agricultural productivity and create rural job opportunities. Dams used for irrigation projects help produce electricity and transport facilities, as well as provide drinking water supplies to a growing population, control floods and prevent droughts.[4]" ]

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

what episode did izzy leave grey's anatomy
[ "Heigl garnered critical acclaim for her performance as Izzie and received numerous awards and nominations for her role, winning the \"Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Drama Series\" at the 2007 Emmy Awards. She was critical of the character's development during the show's fourth season, particularly her romance with George. She declined to put herself forward for the 2008 Emmy Awards, citing insufficient material in the role. After speculation that Izzie would be killed off in the fifth season, the character was diagnosed with Stage 4 metastatic melanoma. She married Alex in the series' one-hundredth episode, and afterwards, her tumor was successfully removed. Izzie made her final appearance in the sixth season, leaving Seattle after Alex refused to resume their marriage. Heigl requested to be released from her contract 18 months early, in order to spend more time with her family. In January 2012, Heigl reported that she would like to return to Grey's Anatomy to give closure to her character, however, Rhimes confirmed that there were no plans to have the character return at that time and has since stated that she has no plans to ever re-approach Izzie's storyline again." ]

Synonyms for this usage include `` health coverage '' , `` health care coverage '' and `` health benefits '' . In a more technical sense , the term is used to describe any form of insurance that provides protection against the costs of medical services . This usage includes private insurance and social insurance programs such as Medicare , which pools resources and spreads the financial risk associated with major medical expenses across the entire population to protect everyone , as well as social welfare programs such as Medicaid and the Children 's Health Insurance Program , which provide assistance to people who can not afford health coverage . In addition to medical expense insurance , `` health insurance '' may also refer to insurance covering disability or long - term nursing or custodial care needs . Different health insurance provides different levels of financial protection and the scope of coverage can vary widely , with more than 40 percent of insured individuals reporting that their plans do not adequately meet their needs as of 2007 . The share of Americans without health insurance has been cut in half since 2013 . Many of the reforms instituted by the Affordable Care Act of 2010 were designed to extend health care coverage to those without it ; however , high cost growth continues unabated . National health expenditures are projected to grow 4.7 % per person per year from 2016 -- 2025 . Public healthcare spending was 29 % of federal mandated spending in 1990 , 35 % in 2000 , and is projected to be roughly half in 2025 .

Employees who worked part time ( less than 30 hours a week ) were less likely to be offered coverage by their employer than were employees who worked full time ( 21 % vs. 72 % ) . A major trend in employer sponsored cover has been increasing premiums , deductibles , and co-payments for medical services , and increasing the costs of using out - of - network health providers rather than in - network providers . Trends in public coverage ( edit ) Public insurance cover increased from 2000 -- 2010 in part because of an aging population and an economic downturn in the latter part of the decade . Funding for Medicaid and CHIP expanded significantly under the 2010 health reform bill . The proportion of individuals covered by Medicaid increased from 10.5 % in 2000 to 14.5 % in 2010 and 20 % in 2015 . The proportion covered by Medicare increased from 13.5 % in 2000 to 15.9 % in 2010 , then decreased to 14 % in 2015 . Status of the uninsured ( edit ) Main article : Health insurance coverage in the United States The uninsured proportion was stable at 14 -- 15 % from 1990 to 2008 , then rose to a peak of 18 % in Q3 2013 and rapidly fell to 11 % in 2015 . The proportion without insurance has stabilized at 9 % . A 2011 study found that there were 2.1 million hospital stays for uninsured patients , accounting for 4.4 % ( $17.1 billion ) of total aggregate inpatient hospital costs in the United States . The costs of treating the uninsured must often be absorbed by providers as charity care , passed on to the insured via cost - shifting and higher health insurance premiums , or paid by taxpayers through higher taxes . Death ( edit ) Since people who lack health insurance are unable to obtain timely medical care , they have a 40 % higher risk of death in any given year than those with health insurance , according to a study published in the American Journal of Public Health . The study estimated that in 2005 in the United States , there were 45,000 deaths associated with lack of health insurance . A 2008 systematic review found consistent evidence that health insurance increased utilization of services and improved health . Play media Uninsured patients share their experience with the health care system in the United States . A Johns Hopkins Hospital study found that heart transplant complications occurred most often amongst the uninsured , and that patients who had private health plans fared better than those covered by Medicaid or Medicare . Gallup issued a report in July 2014 stating that the uninsured rate for adults 18 and over declined from 18 % in 2013 to 13.4 % by in 2014 , largely because there were new coverage options and market reforms under the Affordable Care Act . Rand Corporation had similar findings . Reform ( edit ) The Affordable Care Act of 2010 was designed primarily to extend health coverage to those without it by expanding Medicaid , creating financial incentives for employers to offer coverage , and requiring those without employer or public coverage to purchase insurance in newly created health insurance exchanges . The CBO has estimated that roughly 33 million who would have otherwise been uninsured will receive coverage because of the act by 2022 . History ( edit ) See also : History of insurance Accident insurance was first offered in the United States by the Franklin Health Assurance Company of Massachusetts . This firm , founded in 1850 , offered insurance against injuries arising from railroad and steamboat accidents . Sixty organizations were offering accident insurance in the US by 1866 , but the industry consolidated rapidly soon thereafter . While there were earlier experiments , sickness coverage in the US effectively dates from 1890 . The first employer - sponsored group disability policy was issued in 1911 , but this plan 's primary purpose was replacing wages lost because the worker was unable to work , not medical expenses . Before the development of medical expense insurance , patients were expected to pay all other health care costs out of their own pockets , under what is known as the fee - for - service business model . During the middle to late 20th century , traditional disability insurance evolved into modern health insurance programs . Today , most comprehensive private health insurance programs cover the cost of routine , preventive , and emergency health care procedures , and also most prescription drugs , but this was not always the case . The rise of private insurance was accompanied by the gradual expansion of public insurance programs for those who could not acquire coverage through the market . Hospital and medical expense policies were introduced during the first half of the 20th century . During the 1920s , individual hospitals began offering services to individuals on a pre-paid basis , eventually leading to the development of Blue Cross organizations in the 1930s . The first employer - sponsored hospitalization plan was created by teachers in Dallas , Texas in 1929 . Because the plan only covered members ' expenses at a single hospital , it is also the forerunner of today 's health maintenance organizations ( HMOs ) . In the 1930s , The Roosevelt Administration explored possibilities for creating a national health insurance program , while it was designing the Social Security system . But it abandoned the project because the American Medical Association ( AMA ) fiercely opposed it , along with all forms of health insurance at that time . The rise of employer - sponsored coverage ( edit ) Employer - sponsored health insurance plans dramatically expanded as a direct result of wage controls imposed by the federal government during World War II . The labor market was tight because of the increased demand for goods and decreased supply of workers during the war . Federally imposed wage and price controls prohibited manufacturers and other employers from raising wages enough to attract workers . When the War Labor Board declared that fringe benefits , such as sick leave and health insurance , did not count as wages for the purpose of wage controls , employers responded with significantly increased offers of fringe benefits , especially health care coverage , to attract workers . President Harry S. Truman proposed a system of public health insurance in his November 19 , 1945 , address . He envisioned a national system that would be open to all Americans , but would remain optional . Participants would pay monthly fees into the plan , which would cover the cost of any and all medical expenses that arose in a time of need . The government would pay for the cost of services rendered by any doctor who chose to join the program . In addition , the insurance plan would give cash to the policy holder to replace wages lost because of illness or injury . The proposal was quite popular with the public , but it was fiercely opposed by the Chamber of Commerce , the American Hospital Association , and the AMA , which denounced it as `` socialism '' . Foreseeing a long and costly political battle , many labor unions chose to campaign for employer - sponsored coverage , which they saw as a less desirable but more achievable goal , and as coverage expanded the national insurance system lost political momentum and ultimately failed to pass . Using health care and other fringe benefits to attract the best employees , private sector , white - collar employers nationwide expanded the U.S. health care system . Public sector employers followed suit in an effort to compete . Between 1940 and 1960 , the total number of people enrolled in health insurance plans grew seven-fold , from 20,662,000 to 142,334,000 , and by 1958 , 75 % of Americans had some form of health coverage . Kerr - Mills Act ( edit ) Still , private insurance remained unaffordable or simply unavailable to many , including the poor , the unemployed , and the elderly . Before 1965 , only half of seniors had health care coverage , and they paid three times as much as younger adults , while having lower incomes . Consequently , interest persisted in creating public health insurance for those left out of the private marketplace . The 1960 Kerr - Mills Act provided matching funds to states assisting patients with their medical bills . In the early 1960s , Congress rejected a plan to subsidize private coverage for people with Social Security as unworkable , and an amendment to the Social Security Act creating a publicly run alternative was proposed . Finally , President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Medicare and Medicaid programs into law in 1965 , creating publicly run insurance for the elderly and the poor . Medicare was later expanded to cover people with disabilities , end - stage renal disease , and ALS . Towards universal coverage ( edit ) Persistent lack of insurance among many working Americans continued to create pressure for a comprehensive national health insurance system . In the early 1970s , there was fierce debate between two alternative models for universal coverage . Senator Ted Kennedy proposed a universal single - payer system , while President Nixon countered with his own proposal based on mandates and incentives for employers to provide coverage while expanding publicly run coverage for low - wage workers and the unemployed . Compromise was never reached , and Nixon 's resignation and a series of economic problems later in the decade diverted Congress 's attention away from health reform . The numbers of uninsured Americans and the uninsured rate from 1987 to 2008 . Shortly after his inauguration , President Clinton offered a new proposal for a universal health insurance system . Like Nixon 's plan , Clinton 's relied on mandates , both for individuals and for insurers , along with subsidies for people who could not afford insurance . The bill would have also created `` health - purchasing alliances '' to pool risk among multiple businesses and large groups of individuals . The plan was staunchly opposed by the insurance industry and employers ' groups and received only mild support from liberal groups , particularly unions , which preferred a single payer system . Ultimately it failed after the Republican takeover of Congress in 1994 . Finally achieving universal health coverage remained a top priority among Democrats , and passing a health reform bill was one of the Obama Administration 's top priorities . The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was similar to the Nixon and Clinton plans , mandating coverage , penalizing employers who failed to provide it , and creating mechanisms for people to pool risk and buy insurance collectively . Earlier versions of the bill included a publicly run insurer that could compete to cover those without employer sponsored coverage ( the so - called public option ) , but this was ultimately stripped to secure the support of moderates . The bill passed the Senate in December 2009 with all Democrats voting in favor and the House in March 2010 with the support of most Democrats . Not a single Republican voted in favor of it either time . Public health care coverage ( edit ) Public programs provide the primary source of coverage for most seniors and also low - income children and families who meet certain eligibility requirements . The primary public programs are Medicare , a federal social insurance program for seniors ( generally persons aged 65 and over ) and certain disabled individuals ; Medicaid , funded jointly by the federal government and states but administered at the state level , which covers certain very low income children and their families ; and CHIP , also a federal - state partnership that serves certain children and families who do not qualify for Medicaid but who can not afford private coverage . Other public programs include military health benefits provided through TRICARE and the Veterans Health Administration and benefits provided through the Indian Health Service . Some states have additional programs for low - income individuals . In 2011 , approximately 60 percent of stays were billed to Medicare and Medicaid -- up from 52 percent in 1997 . Medicare ( edit ) Main article : Medicare ( United States ) In the United States , Medicare is a federal social insurance program that provides health insurance to people over the age of 65 , individuals who become totally and permanently disabled , end stage renal disease ( ESRD ) patients , and people with ALS . Recent research has found that the health trends of previously uninsured adults , especially those with chronic health problems , improves once they enter the Medicare program . Traditional Medicare requires considerable cost - sharing , but ninety percent of Medicare enrollees have some kind of supplemental insurance - either employer - sponsored or retiree coverage , Medicaid , or a private Medigap plan -- that covers some or all of their cost - sharing . With supplemental insurance , Medicare ensures that its enrollees have predictable , affordable health care costs regardless of unforeseen illness or injury . As the population covered by Medicare grows , its costs are projected to rise from slightly over 3 percent of GDP to over 6 percent , contributing substantially to the federal budget deficit . In 2011 , Medicare was the primary payer for an estimated 15.3 million inpatient stays , representing 47.2 percent ( $182.7 billion ) of total aggregate inpatient hospital costs in the United States . The Affordable Care Act took some steps to reduce Medicare spending , and various other proposals are circulating to reduce it further . Medicare Advantage ( edit ) Main article : Medicare Advantage Medicare Advantage plans expand the health insurance options for people with Medicare . Medicare Advantage was created under the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 , with the intent to better control the rapid growth in Medicare spending , as well as to provide Medicare beneficiaries more choices . But on average , Medicare Advantage plans cost 12 % more than traditional Medicare . The ACA took steps to align payments to Medicare Advantage plans with the cost of traditional Medicare . There is some evidence that Medicare Advantage plans select patients with low risk of incurring major medical expenses to maximize profits at the expense of traditional Medicare . Medicare part D. ( edit ) Main article : Medicare Part D Medicare Part D provides a private insurance option to allow Medicare beneficiaries to purchase subsidized coverage for the costs of prescription drugs . It was enacted as part of the Medicare Prescription Drug , Improvement , and Modernization Act of 2003 ( MMA ) and went into effect on January 1 , 2006 . Medicaid ( edit ) Main article : Medicaid Medicaid was instituted for the very poor in 1965 . Since enrollees must pass a means test , Medicaid is a social welfare or social protection program rather than a social insurance program . Despite its establishment , the percentage of US residents who lack any form of health insurance has increased since 1994 . It has been reported that the number of physicians accepting Medicaid has decreased in recent years because of lower reimbursement rates . The Affordable Care Act dramatically expanded Medicaid . The program will now cover everyone with incomes under 133 % of the federal poverty level who does not qualify for Medicare , provided this expansion of coverage has been accepted by the state where the person resides . Meanwhile , Medicaid benefits must be the same as the essential benefit in the newly created state exchanges . The federal government will fully fund the expansion of Medicaid initially , with some of the financial responsibility gradually devolving back to the states by 2020 . In 2011 , there were 7.6 million hospital stays billed to Medicaid , representing 15.6 % ( approximately $60.2 billion ) of total aggregate inpatient hospital costs in the United States . Children 's health insurance program ( schip ) ( edit ) Main article : Children 's Health Insurance Program The Children 's Health Insurance Program ( CHIP ) is a joint state / federal program to provide health insurance to children in families who earn too much money to qualify for Medicaid , yet can not afford to buy private insurance . The statutory authority for CHIP is under title XXI of the Social Security Act . CHIP programs are run by the individual states according to requirements set by the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services , and may be structured as independent programs separate from Medicaid ( separate child health programs ) , as expansions of their Medicaid programs ( CHIP Medicaid expansion programs ) , or combine these approaches ( CHIP combination programs ) . States receive enhanced federal funds for their CHIP programs at a rate above the regular Medicaid match . Military health benefits ( edit ) Main article : Military Health System Health benefits are provided to active duty service members , retired service members and their dependents by the Department of Defense Military Health System ( MHS ) . The MHS consists of a direct care network of Military Treatment Facilities and a purchased care network known as TRICARE . Additionally , veterans may also be eligible for benefits through the Veterans Health Administration . Indian health service ( edit ) The Indian Health Service ( IHS ) provides medical assistance to eligible American Indians at IHS facilities , and helps pay the cost of some services provided by non-IHS health care providers . State risk pools ( edit ) In 1976 , some states began providing guaranteed - issuance risk pools , which enable individuals who are medically uninsurable through private health insurance to purchase a state - sponsored health insurance plan , usually at higher cost . Minnesota was the first to offer such a plan ; 34 states ( Alabama , Alaska , Arkansas , California , Colorado , Connecticut , Florida , Illinois , Indiana , Iowa , Kansas , Kentucky , Louisiana , Maryland , Minnesota , Mississippi , Missouri , Montana , Nebraska , New Hampshire , New Mexico , North Carolina , North Dakota , Oklahoma , Oregon , South Carolina , South Dakota , Tennessee , Texas , Utah , Washington , West Virginia , Wisconsin , Wyoming ) now offer them . Plans vary greatly from state to state , both in their costs and benefits to consumers and in their methods of funding and operations . They serve a very small portion of the uninsurable market -- about 182,000 people in the U.S. as of 2004 , and about 200,000 in 2008 . These risk pools allow people with pre-existing conditions such as cancer , diabetes , heart disease or other chronic illnesses to be able to switch jobs or seek self - employment without fear of being without health care benefits . However , the plans are expensive , with premiums that can be double the average policy , and the pools currently cover only 1 in 25 of the so - called `` uninsurable '' population . Additionally , even plans which are not expensive can leave those enrolled with little real health insurance beyond `` catastrophic '' insurance ; for example , one insurance plan through Minnesota 's high - risk pool , while costing only $215 per quarter , includes a $10,000 deductible with no preventative or other health care covered unless and until the enrollee has spent $10,000 of their own money during the year on health care . Very sick people can accumulate large medical bills during mandatory waiting periods before their medical expenses are covered , and there are often lifetime expenditure caps ( maximums ) , after which the risk pool no longer pays for any medical expenses . Efforts to pass a national pool have been unsuccessful , but some federal tax money has been awarded to states to innovate and improve their plans . With the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act , effective by 2014 , it will be easier for people with pre-existing conditions to afford regular insurance , since all insurers will be fully prohibited from discriminating against or charging higher rates for any individuals based on pre-existing medical conditions . Pre-existing condition insurance plan ( edit ) Main article : Pre-existing Condition Insurance Plan The Pre-existing Condition Insurance Plan , or PCIP , is a transitional program created in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act ( PPACA ) . Those eligible for PCIP are citizens of the United States or those legally residing in the U.S. , who have been uninsured for the last 6 months and `` have a pre-existing condition or have been denied health coverage because of their health condition . '' However , if one has health insurance or is enrolled in a state high risk pool , they are not eligible for PCIP , even if that coverage does not cover their medical condition . PCIP is run by the individual states or through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services , which has a contract with the Government Employees Health Association , or GEHA , to administer benefits . Both will be funded by the federal government and provide three plan options . These options are the standard , extended , and the Health Savings Account option . PCIP only covers the individual enrollee and does not include family members or dependents . In 2014 , the Affordable Care Act provision banning discrimination based on pre-existing conditions will be implemented and PCIP enrollees will be transitioned into new state - based health care exchanges . Private health care coverage ( edit ) Private health insurance may be purchased on a group basis ( e.g. , by a firm to cover its employees ) or purchased by individual consumers . Most Americans with private health insurance receive it through an employer - sponsored program . According to the United States Census Bureau , some 60 % of Americans are covered through an employer , while about 9 % purchase health insurance directly . Private insurance was billed for 12.2 million inpatient hospital stays in 2011 , incurring approximately 29 % ( $112.5 billion ) of the total aggregate inpatient hospital costs in the United States . The US has a joint federal and state system for regulating insurance , with the federal government ceding primary responsibility to the states under the McCarran - Ferguson Act . States regulate the content of health insurance policies and often require coverage of specific types of medical services or health care providers . State mandates generally do not apply to the health plans offered by large employers , because of the preemption clause of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act . Employer sponsored ( edit ) Employer - sponsored health insurance is paid for by businesses on behalf of their employees as part of an employee benefit package . Most private ( non-government ) health coverage in the US is employment - based . Nearly all large employers in America offer group health insurance to their employees . The typical large - employer PPO plan is typically more generous than either Medicare or the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program Standard Option . The employer typically makes a substantial contribution towards the cost of coverage . Typically , employers pay about 85 % of the insurance premium for their employees , and about 75 % of the premium for their employees ' dependents . The employee pays the remaining fraction of the premium , usually with pre-tax / tax - exempt earnings . These percentages have been stable since 1999 . Health benefits provided by employers are also tax - favored : Employee contributions can be made on a pre-tax basis if the employer offers the benefits through a section 125 cafeteria plan . Workers who receive employer - sponsored health insurance tend to be paid less in cash wages than they would be without the benefit , because of the cost of insurance premiums to the employer and the value of the benefit to the worker . The value to workers is generally greater than the wage reduction because of economies of scale , a reduction in adverse selection pressures on the insurance pool ( premiums are lower when all employees participate rather than just the sickest ) , and reduced income taxes . Disadvantages to workers include disruptions related to changing jobs , the regressive tax effect ( high - income workers benefit far more from the tax exemption for premiums than low - income workers ) , and increased spending on healthcare . Costs for employer - paid health insurance are rising rapidly : between 2001 and 2007 , premiums for family coverage have increased 78 % , while wages have risen 19 % and inflation has risen 17 % , according to a 2007 study by the Kaiser Family Foundation . Employer costs have risen noticeably per hour worked , and vary significantly . In particular , average employer costs for health benefits vary by firm size and occupation . The cost per hour of health benefits is generally higher for workers in higher - wage occupations , but represent a smaller percentage of payroll . The percentage of total compensation devoted to health benefits has been rising since the 1960s . Average premiums , including both the employer and employee portions , were $4,704 for single coverage and $12,680 for family coverage in 2008 . However , in a 2007 analysis , the Employee Benefit Research Institute concluded that the availability of employment - based health benefits for active workers in the US is stable . The `` take - up rate , '' or percentage of eligible workers participating in employer - sponsored plans , has fallen somewhat , but not sharply . EBRI interviewed employers for the study , and found that others might follow if a major employer discontinued health benefits . Effective by January 1 , 2014 , the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will impose a $2000 per employee tax penalty on employers with over 50 employees who do not offer health insurance to their full - time workers . ( In 2008 , over 95 % of employers with at least 50 employees offered health insurance . ) On the other hand , public policy changes could also result in a reduction in employer support for employment - based health benefits . Although much more likely to offer retiree health benefits than small firms , the percentage of large firms offering these benefits fell from 66 % in 1988 to 34 % in 2002 . Small employer group coverage ( edit ) According to a 2007 study , about 59 % of employers at small firms ( 3 - 199 workers ) in the US provide employee health insurance . The percentage of small firms offering coverage has been dropping steadily since 1999 . The study notes that cost remains the main reason cited by small firms who do not offer health benefits . Small firms that are new are less likely to offer coverage than ones that have been in existence for a number of years . For example , using 2005 data for firms with fewer than 10 employees , 43 % of those that had been in existence at least 20 years offered coverage , but only 24 % of those that had been in existence less than 5 years did . The volatility of offer rates from year to year also appears to be higher for newer small businesses . The types of coverage available to small employers are similar to those offered by large firms , but small businesses do not have the same options for financing their benefit plans . In particular , self - funded health care ( whereby an employer provides health or disability benefits to employees with its own funds rather than contracting an insurance company ) is not a practical option for most small employers . A RAND Corporation study published in April 2008 found that the cost of health care coverage places a greater burden on small firms , as a percentage of payroll , than on larger firms . A study published by the American Enterprise Institute in August 2008 examined the effect of state benefit mandates on self - employed individuals , and found that `` the larger the number of mandates in a state , the lower the probability that a self - employed person will be a significant employment generator . '' Beneficiary cost sharing is , on average , higher among small firms than large firms . When small group plans are medically underwritten , employees are asked to provide health information about themselves and their covered family members when they apply for coverage . When determining rates , insurance companies use the medical information on these applications . Sometimes they will request additional information from an applicant 's physician or ask the applicants for clarification . States regulate small group premium rates , typically by placing limits on the premium variation allowable between groups ( rate bands ) . Insurers price to recover their costs over their entire book of small group business while abiding by state rating rules . Over time , the effect of initial underwriting `` wears off '' as the cost of a group regresses towards the mean . Recent claim experience - whether better or worse than average - is a strong predictor of future costs in the near term . But the average health status of a particular small employer group tends to regress over time towards that of an average group . The process used to price small group coverage changes when a state enacts small group reform laws . Insurance brokers play a significant role in helping small employers find health insurance , particularly in more competitive markets . Average small group commissions range from 2 percent to 8 percent of premiums . Brokers provide services beyond insurance sales , such as assisting with employee enrollment and helping to resolve benefits issues . College - sponsored health insurance for students ( edit ) Many colleges , universities , graduate schools , professional schools and trade schools offer a school - sponsored health insurance plan . Many schools require that you enroll in the school - sponsored plan unless you are able to show that you have comparable coverage from another source . Effective group health plan years beginning after September 23 , 2010 , if an employer - sponsored health plan allows employees ' children to enroll in coverage , then the health plan must allow employees ' adult children to enroll as well as long as the adult child is not yet age 26 . Some group health insurance plans may also require that the adult child not be eligible for other group health insurance coverage , but only before 2014 . This extension of coverage will help cover one in three young adults , according to White House documents . Federal employees health benefit plan ( FEHBP ) ( edit ) In addition to such public plans as Medicare and Medicaid , the federal government also sponsors a health benefit plan for federal employees -- the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program ( FEHBP ) . FEHBP provides health benefits to full - time civilian employees . Active - duty service members , retired service members and their dependents are covered through the Department of Defense Military Health System ( MHS ) . FEHBP is managed by the federal Office of Personnel Management . `` Portability '' of group coverage ( edit ) Two federal laws address the ability of individuals with employment - based health insurance coverage to maintain coverage . The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 ( COBRA ) enables certain individuals with employer - sponsored coverage to extend their coverage if certain `` qualifying events '' would otherwise cause them to lose it . Employers may require COBRA - qualified individuals to pay the full cost of coverage , and coverage can not be extended indefinitely . COBRA only applies to firms with 20 or more employees , although some states also have `` mini-COBRA '' laws that apply to small employers . The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ( HIPAA ) provides for forms of both `` group - to - group '' and `` group - to - individual '' portability . When an individual moves from one employer 's benefit plan to another 's , the new plan must count coverage under the old plan against any waiting period for pre-existing conditions , as long as there is not a break in coverage of more than 63 days between the two plans . When certain qualified individuals lose group coverage altogether , they must be guaranteed access to some form of individual coverage . To qualify , they must have at least 18 months of prior continuous coverage . The details of access and the price of coverage are determined on a state - by - state basis . Association group health insurance ( edit ) Regular health insurance is sometimes available to members of associations . Associations such as the American Bar Association offer health insurance to their members , using an established insurance company to write the policies for a group plan . Individually purchased ( edit ) Main article : Individually purchased health insurance in the United States According to the US Census Bureau , about 9 % of Americans are covered under health insurance purchased directly . The range of products available is similar to those provided through employers . However , average out - of - pocket spending is higher in the individual market , with higher deductibles , co-payments and other cost - sharing provisions . Major medical is the most commonly purchased form of individual health insurance . Although a major medical health insurance policy is primarily a catastrophic plan , qualified preventive benefits are still covered at 100 % without any waiting period or copay . In the individual market , the consumer pays the entire premium without benefit of an employer contribution . While self - employed individuals receive a tax deduction for their health insurance and can buy health insurance with additional tax benefits , most consumers in the individual market do not receive any tax benefit . Premiums vary significantly by age . In states that allow individual medical plan underwriting , premiums also vary by health status . However , with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act , effective since 2014 , insurers are prohibited from discriminating against or charging higher rates for individuals based on pre-existing medical conditions . In August 2008 , the Hartford Courant reported that competition was increasing in the individual health insurance market , with more insurers entering the market , an increased variety of products , and a broader spread of prices . Individual health insurance is primarily regulated at the state level , consistent with the McCarran - Ferguson Act . Model acts and regulations promulgated by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ( NAIC ) provide some degree of uniformity state to state . These models do not have the force of law and have no effect unless they are adopted by a state . They are , however , used as guides by most states , and some states adopt them with little or no change . Types of medical insurance ( edit ) Traditional indemnity or fee - for - service ( edit ) Early hospital and medical plans offered by insurance companies paid either a fixed amount for specific diseases or medical procedures ( schedule benefits ) or a percentage of the provider 's fee . The relationship between the patient and the medical provider was not changed . The patient received medical care and was responsible for paying the provider . If the service was covered by the policy , the insurance company was responsible for reimbursing or indemnifying the patient based on the provisions of the insurance contract ( `` reimbursement benefits '' ) . Health insurance plans that are not based on a network of contracted providers , or that base payments on a percentage of provider charges , are still described as indemnity or fee - for - service plans . Blue Cross Blue Shield Association ( edit ) Main article : Blue Cross Blue Shield Association The Blue Cross Blue Shield Association ( BCBSA ) is a federation of 38 separate health insurance organizations and companies in the United States . Combined , they directly or indirectly provide health insurance to over 100 million Americans . BCBSA insurance companies are franchisees , independent of the association ( and traditionally each other ) , offering insurance plans within defined regions under one or both of the association 's brands . Blue Cross Blue Shield insurers offer some form of health insurance coverage in every U.S. state , and also act as administrators of Medicare in many states or regions of the United States , and provide coverage to state government employees as well as to federal government employees under a nationwide option of the Federal Employees Health Benefit Plan . Health maintenance organizations ( edit ) Main article : Health Maintenance Organization A health maintenance organization ( HMO ) is a type of managed care organization ( MCO ) that provides a form of health care coverage that is fulfilled through hospitals , doctors , and other providers with which the HMO has a contract . The Health Maintenance Organization Act of 1973 required employers with 25 or more employees to offer federally certified HMO options . Unlike traditional indemnity insurance , an HMO covers only care rendered by those doctors and other professionals who have agreed to treat patients in accordance with the HMO 's guidelines and restrictions in exchange for a steady stream of customers . Benefits are provided through a network of providers . Providers may be employees of the HMO ( `` staff model '' ) , employees of a provider group that has contracted with the HMO ( `` group model '' ) , or members of an independent practice association ( `` IPA model '' ) . HMOs may also use a combination of these approaches ( `` network model '' ) . Managed care ( edit ) Main article : Managed care The term managed care is used to describe a variety of techniques intended to reduce the cost of health benefits and improve the quality of care . It is also used to describe organizations that use these techniques ( `` managed care organization '' ) . Many of these techniques were pioneered by HMOs , but they are now used in a wide variety of private health insurance programs . Through the 1990s , managed care grew from about 25 % US employees with employer - sponsored coverage to the vast majority . Rise of managed care in the US Year Conventional plans HMOs PPOs POS plans HDHP / SOs 1998 14 % 27 % 35 % 24 % -- 1999 10 % 28 % 39 % 24 % -- 2000 8 % 29 % 42 % 21 % -- 7 % 24 % 46 % 23 % -- 2002 4 % 27 % 52 % 18 % -- 2003 5 % 24 % 54 % 17 % -- 5 % 25 % 55 % 15 % -- 2005 3 % 21 % 61 % 15 % -- 2006 3 % 20 % 60 % 13 % 4 % 2007 3 % 21 % 57 % 15 % 5 % 2008 2 % 20 % 58 % 12 % 8 % 2009 1 % 20 % 60 % 10 % 8 % 1 % 19 % 58 % 8 % 13 % 2011 1 % 17 % 55 % 10 % 17 % 2012 < 1 % 16 % 56 % 9 % 19 % 2013 < 1 % 14 % 57 % 9 % 20 % 2014 < 1 % 13 % 55 % 23 % 27 % 2015 1 % 17 % 50 % 26 % 26 % 2016 2 % 23 % 35 % 32 % 28 % Network - based managed care ( edit ) Many managed care programs are based on a panel or network of contracted health care providers . Such programs typically include : A set of selected providers that furnish a comprehensive array of health care services to enrollees ; Explicit standards for selecting providers ; Formal utilization review and quality improvement programs ; An emphasis on preventive care ; and Financial incentives to encourage enrollees to use care efficiently . Provider networks can be used to reduce costs by negotiating favorable fees from providers , selecting cost effective providers , and creating financial incentives for providers to practice more efficiently . A survey issued in 2009 by America 's Health Insurance Plans found that patients going to out - of - network providers are sometimes charged extremely high fees . Network - based plans may be either closed or open . With a closed network , enrollees ' expenses are generally only covered when they go to network providers . Only limited services are covered outside the network -- typically only emergency and out - of - area care . Most traditional HMOs were closed network plans . Open network plans provide some coverage when an enrollee uses non-network provider , generally at a lower benefit level to encourage the use of network providers . Most preferred provider organization plans are open - network ( those that are not are often described as exclusive provider organizations , or EPOs ) , as are point of service ( POS ) plans . The terms `` open panel '' and `` closed panel '' are sometimes used to describe which health care providers in a community have the opportunity to participate in a plan . In a `` closed panel '' HMO , the network providers are either HMO employees ( staff model ) or members of large group practices with which the HMO has a contract . In an `` open panel '' plan the HMO or PPO contracts with independent practitioners , opening participation in the network to any provider in the community that meets the plan 's credential requirements and is willing to accept the terms of the plan 's contract . Other managed care techniques ( edit ) Other managed care techniques include such elements as disease management , case management , wellness incentives , patient education , utilization management and utilization review . These techniques can be applied to both network - based benefit programs and benefit programs that are not based on a provider network . The use of managed care techniques without a provider network is sometimes described as `` managed indemnity . '' Blurring lines ( edit ) Over time , the operations of many Blue Cross and Blue Shield operations have become more similar to those of commercial health insurance companies . However , some Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans continue to serve as insurers of last resort . Similarly , the benefits offered by Blues plans , commercial insurers , and HMOs are converging in many respects because of market pressures . One example is the convergence of preferred provider organization ( PPO ) plans offered by Blues and commercial insurers and the point of service plans offered by HMOs . Historically , commercial insurers , Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans , and HMOs might be subject to different regulatory oversight in a state ( e.g. , the Department of Insurance for insurance companies , versus the Department of Health for HMOs ) . Today , it is common for commercial insurance companies to have HMOs as subsidiaries , and for HMOs to have insurers as subsidiaries ( the state license for an HMO is typically different from that for an insurance company ) . At one time the distinctions between traditional indemnity insurance , HMOs and PPOs were very clear ; today , it can be difficult to distinguish between the products offered by the various types of organization operating in the market . The blurring of distinctions between the different types of health care coverage can be seen in the history of the industry 's trade associations . The two primary HMO trade associations were the Group Health Association of America and the American Managed Care and Review Association . After merging , they were known as American Association of Health Plans ( AAHP ) . The primary trade association for commercial health insurers was the Health Insurance Association of America ( HIAA ) . These two have now merged , and are known as America 's Health Insurance Plans ( AHIP ) . New types of medical plans ( edit ) In recent years , various new types of medical plans have been introduced . High - deductible health plan ( HDHP ) Plans with much higher deductibles than traditional health plans -- primarily providing coverage for catastrophic illness -- have been introduced . Because of the high deductible , these provide little coverage for everyday expenses -- and thus have potentially high out - of - pocket expenses -- but do cover major expenses . Couple with these are various forms of savings plans . Tax - preferenced health care spending account Coupled with high - deductible plans are various tax - advantaged savings plans -- funds ( such as salary ) can be placed in a savings plan , and then go to pay the out - of - pocket expenses . This approach to addressing increasing premiums is dubbed `` consumer driven health care '' , and received a boost in 2003 , when President George W. Bush signed into law the Medicare Prescription Drug , Improvement , and Modernization Act . The law created tax - deductible Health Savings Accounts ( HSAs ) , untaxed private bank accounts for medical expenses , which can be established by those who already have health insurance . Withdrawals from HSAs are only penalized if the money is spent on non-medical items or services . Funds can be used to pay for qualified expenses , including doctor 's fees , Medicare Parts A and B , and drugs , without being taxed . Consumers wishing to deposit pre-tax funds in an HSA must be enrolled in a high - deductible insurance plan ( HDHP ) with a number of restrictions on benefit design ; in 2007 , qualifying plans must have a minimum deductible of US $1,050 . Currently , the minimum deductible has risen to $1.200 for individuals and $2,400 for families . HSAs enable healthier individuals to pay less for insurance and deposit money for their own future health care , dental and vision expenses . HSAs are one form of tax - preferenced health care spending accounts . Others include Flexible Spending Accounts ( FSAs ) , Archer Medical Savings Accounts ( MSAs ) , which have been superseded by the new HSAs ( although existing MSAs are grandfathered ) , and Health Reimbursement Accounts ( HRAs ) . These accounts are most commonly used as part of an employee health benefit package . While there are currently no government - imposed limits to FSAs , legislation currently being reconciled between the House of Representatives and Senate would impose a cap of $2,500 . While both the House and Senate bills would adjust the cap to inflation , approximately 7 million Americans who use their FSAs to cover out - of - pocket health care expenses greater than $2,500 would be forced to pay higher taxes and health care costs . In July 2009 , Save Flexible Spending Plans , a national grassroots advocacy organization , was formed to protect against the restricted use of FSAs in health care reform efforts , Save Flexible Spending Accounts is sponsored by the Employers Council on Flexible Compensation ( ECFC ) , a non-profit organization `` dedicated to the maintenance and expansion of the private employee benefits on a tax - advantaged basis '' . ECFC members include companies such as WageWorks Inc. , a benefits provider based in San Mateo , California . Most FSA participants are middle income Americans , earning approximately $55,000 annually . Individuals and families with chronic illnesses typically receive the most benefit from FSAs ; even when insured , they incur annual out - of - pocket expenses averaging $4,398 . Approximately 44 percent of Americans have one or more chronic conditions . Limited benefit plan Opposite to high - deductible plans are plans which provide limited benefits -- up to a low level -- have also been introduced . These limited medical benefit plans pay for routine care and do not pay for catastrophic care , they do not provide equivalent financial security to a major medical plan . Annual benefit limits can be as low as $2,000 . Lifetime maximums can be very low as well . Discount medical card One option that is becoming more popular is the discount medical card . These cards are not insurance policies , but provide access to discounts from participating health care providers . While some offer a degree of value , there are serious potential drawbacks for the consumer . Short term Short term health insurance plans have a short policy period ( typically months ) and are intended for people who only need insurance for a short time period before longer term insurance is obtained . Short term plans typically cost less than traditional plans and have shorter application processes , but do not cover pre-existing conditions . Health care sharing A Health care sharing ministry is an organization that facilitates sharing of health care costs between individual members who have common ethical or religious beliefs . Though a health care sharing ministry is not an insurance company , members are exempted from the individual responsibility requirements of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act . Health care markets and pricing ( edit ) The US health insurance market is highly concentrated , as leading insurers have carried out over 400 mergers from the mid-1990s to the mid-2000s ( decade ) . In 2000 , the two largest health insurers ( Aetna and UnitedHealth Group ) had total membership of 32 million . By 2006 the top two insurers , WellPoint and UnitedHealth , had total membership of 67 million . The two companies together had more than 36 % of the national market for commercial health insurance . The AMA has said that it `` has long been concerned about the impact of consolidated markets on patient care . '' A 2007 AMA study found that in 299 of the 313 markets surveyed , one health plan accounted for at least 30 % of the combined health maintenance organization ( HMO ) / preferred provider organization ( PPO ) market . In 90 % of markets , the largest insurer controls at least 30 % of the market , and the largest insurer controls more than 50 % of the market in 54 % of metropolitan areas . The US Department of Justice has recognized this percentage of market control as conferring substantial monopsony power in the relations between insurer and physicians . Most provider markets ( especially hospitals ) are also highly concentrated , - roughly 80 % , according to criteria established by the FTC and Department of Justice - so insurers usually have little choice about which providers to include in their networks , and consequently little leverage to control the prices they pay . Large insurers frequently negotiate most - favored nation clauses with providers , agreeing to raise rates significantly while guaranteeing that providers will charge other insurers higher rates . According to some experts , such as Uwe Reinhardt , Sherry Glied , Megan Laugensen , Michael Porter , and Elizabeth Teisberg , this pricing system is highly inefficient and is a major cause of rising health care costs . Health care costs in the United States vary enormously between plans and geographical regions , even when input costs are fairly similar , and rise very quickly . Health care costs have risen faster than economic growth at least since the 1970s . Public health insurance programs typically have more bargaining power as a result of their greater size and typically pay less for medical services than private plans , leading to slower cost growth , but the overall trend in health care prices have led public programs ' costs to grow at a rapid pace as well . Other types of health insurance ( non-medical ) ( edit ) While the term `` health insurance '' is most commonly used by the public to describe coverage for medical expenses , the insurance industry uses the term more broadly to include other related forms of coverage , such as disability income and long - term care insurance . Disability income insurance ( edit ) Main article : Disability insurance Disability income ( DI ) insurance pays benefits to individuals who become unable to work because of injury or illness . DI insurance replaces income lost while the policyholder is unable to work during a period of disability ( in contrast to medical expense insurance , which pays for the cost of medical care ) . For most working age adults , the risk of disability is greater than the risk of premature death , and the resulting reduction in lifetime earnings can be significant . Private disability insurance is sold on both a group and an individual basis . Policies may be designed to cover long - term disabilities ( LTD coverage ) or short - term disabilities ( STD coverage ) . Business owners can also purchase disability overhead insurance to cover the overhead expenses of their business while they are unable to work . A basic level of disability income protection is provided through the Social Security Disability Insurance ( SSDI ) program for qualified workers who are totally and permanently disabled ( the worker is incapable of engaging in any `` substantial gainful work '' and the disability is expected to last at least 12 months or result in death ) . Long - term care insurance ( edit ) Main article : Long term care insurance Long - term care ( LTC ) insurance reimburses the policyholder for the cost of long - term or custodial care services designed to minimize or compensate for the loss of functioning due to age , disability or chronic illness . LTC has many surface similarities to long - term disability insurance . There are at least two fundamental differences , however . LTC policies cover the cost of certain types of chronic care , while long - term - disability policies replace income lost while the policyholder is unable to work . For LTC , the event triggering benefits is the need for chronic care , while the triggering event for disability insurance is the inability to work . Private LTC insurance is growing in popularity in the US . Premiums have remained relatively stable in recent years . However , the coverage is quite expensive , especially when consumers wait until retirement age to purchase it . The average age of new purchasers was 61 in 2005 , and has been dropping . Supplemental coverage ( edit ) Private insurers offer a variety of supplemental coverages in both the group and individual markets . These are not designed to provide the primary source of medical or disability protection for an individual , but can assist with unexpected expenses and provide additional peace of mind for insureds . Supplemental coverages include Medicare supplement insurance , hospital indemnity insurance , dental insurance , vision insurance , accidental death and dismemberment insurance and specified disease insurance . Supplemental coverages are intended to : Supplement a primary medical expense plan by paying for expenses that are excluded or subject to the primary plan 's cost - sharing requirements ( e.g. , co-payments , deductibles , etc . ) ; Cover related expenses such as dental or vision care ; Assist with additional expenses that may be associated with a serious illness or injury . Medicare supplement coverage ( Medigap ) ( edit ) Main article : Medigap Medicare Supplement policies are designed to cover expenses not covered ( or only partially covered ) by the `` original Medicare '' ( Parts A & B) fee - for - service benefits . They are only available to individuals enrolled in Medicare Parts A & B. Medigap plans may be purchased on a guaranteed issue basis ( no health questions asked ) during a six - month open enrollment period when an individual first becomes eligible for Medicare . The benefits offered by Medigap plans are standardized . Hospital indemnity insurance ( edit ) Hospital indemnity insurance provides a fixed daily , weekly or monthly benefit while the insured is confined in a hospital . The payment is not dependent on actual hospital charges , and is most commonly expressed as a flat dollar amount . Hospital indemnity benefits are paid in addition to any other benefits that may be available , and are typically used to pay out - of - pocket and non-covered expenses associated with the primary medical plan , and to help with additional expenses ( e.g. , child care ) incurred while in the hospital . Scheduled health insurance plans ( edit ) Scheduled health insurance plans are an expanded form of Hospital Indemnity plans . In recent years , these plans have taken the name mini-med plans or association plans . These plans may provide benefits for hospitalization , surgical , and physician services . However , they are not meant to replace a traditional comprehensive health insurance plan . Scheduled health insurance plans are more of a basic policy providing access to day - to - day health care such as going to the doctor or getting a prescription drug , but these benefits will be limited and are not meant to be effective for catastrophic events . Payments are based upon the plan 's `` schedule of benefits '' and are usually paid directly to the service provider . These plans cost much less than comprehensive health insurance . Annual benefit maximums for a typical scheduled health insurance plan may range from $1,000 to $25,000 . Dental insurance ( edit ) Main article : Dental insurance Dental insurance helps pay for the cost of necessary dental care . Few medical expense plans include coverage for dental expenses . About 97 % of dental benefits in the United States is provided through separate policies from carriers -- both stand - alone and medical affiliates -- that specialize in this coverage . Typically , these dental plans offer comprehensive preventive benefits . However , major dental expenses , such as crowns and root canals , are just partially covered . Also , most carriers offer a lower rate if you select a plan that utilizes their Network providers . Discount dental programs are also available . These do not constitute insurance , but provide participants with access to discounted fees for dental work . Vision care insurance ( edit ) Main article : Vision insurance Vision care insurance provides coverage for routine eye care and is typically written to complement other medical benefits . Vision benefits are designed to encourage routine eye examinations and ensure that appropriate treatment is provided . Specified disease ( edit ) Main article : Critical illness insurance Specified disease provides benefits for one or more specifically identified conditions . Benefits can be used to fill gaps in a primary medical plan , such as co-payments and deductibles , or to assist with additional expenses such as transportation and child care costs . Accidental death and dismemberment insurance ( edit ) Main article : Accidental death and dismemberment insurance AD&D insurance is offered by group insurers and provides benefits in the event of accidental death . It also provides benefits for certain specified types of bodily injuries ( e.g. , loss of a limb or loss of sight ) when they are the direct result of an accident . Insurance companies have high administrative costs . Private health insurers are a significant portion of the U.S. economy directly employing ( in 2004 ) almost 470,000 people at an average salary of $61,409 . Health insurance companies are not actually providing traditional insurance , which involves the pooling of risk , because the vast majority of purchasers actually do face the harms that they are `` insuring '' against . Instead , as Edward Beiser and Jacob Appel have separately argued , health insurers are better thought of as low - risk money managers who pocket the interest on what are really long - term healthcare savings accounts . According to a study by a pro-health reform group published February 11 , the nation 's largest five health insurance companies posted a 56 percent gain in 2009 profits over 2008 . The insurers ( Wellpoint , UnitedHealth , Cigna , Aetna and Humana ) cover the majority of Americans with health insurance .

when did health insurance start in the united states
[ "Accident insurance was first offered in the United States by the Franklin Health Assurance Company of Massachusetts. This firm, founded in 1850, offered insurance against injuries arising from railroad and steamboat accidents. Sixty organizations were offering accident insurance in the US by 1866, but the industry consolidated rapidly soon thereafter. While there were earlier experiments, sickness coverage in the US effectively dates from 1890. The first employer-sponsored group disability policy was issued in 1911, but this plan's primary purpose was replacing wages lost because the worker was unable to work, not medical expenses.[18]" ]

Laura Ingalls Wilder

During the 1970s and early 1980s , the television series Little House on the Prairie was loosely based on the Little House books , and starred Melissa Gilbert as Laura Ingalls and Michael Landon as her father , Charles Ingalls .

She was the second of five children , following Mary Amelia . Their three younger siblings were Caroline Celestia , Charles Frederick ( who died in infancy ) , and Grace Pearl . Wilder 's birth site is commemorated by a replica log cabin , the Little House Wayside . Life there formed the basis for her first book , Little House in the Big Woods ( 1932 ) . Wilder was a descendant of the Delano family , an ancestral family of U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt . A progenitor of the Delano family emigrated to the Plymouth Colony in the early 1620s ; another family ancestor , Edmund Rice , emigrated in 1638 to the Massachusetts Bay Colony . One paternal ancestor , Edmund Ingalls , was born on June 27 , 1586 , in Skirbeck , Lincolnshire , England , and emigrated to America , where he died in Lynn , Massachusetts , on September 16 , 1648 . Family on the move ( edit ) Wilder moved with her family from Wisconsin in 1869 , when she was two years old . They stopped in Rothville , Missouri , and settled in Kansas , in Indian country near what is now Independence . Her younger sister Carrie ( 1870 -- 1946 ) was born there in August 1870 , not long before they moved again . According to Wilder in later years , her father had been told that the location would soon be open to white settlers but that was incorrect ; their homestead was actually on the Osage Indian reservation and they had no legal right to occupy it . They had just begun to farm when they heard rumors that the settlers would be evicted , and they departed in spring of 1871 . Although Laura portrayed the leave and that of other settlers as prompted by rumors of eviction in both her novel and in her Pioneer Girl memoirs , in the memoirs she also noted that her parents needed to recover their Wisconsin land because the buyer had not paid the entire mortgage . Several Kansas neighbors apparently were allowed to buy the land they had settled on , so the rumors may have been untrue . From Kansas , the Ingalls family returned to Wisconsin , where they lived for the next three years . Those experiences formed the basis for the novels Little House in the Big Woods ( 1932 ) and Little House on the Prairie ( 1935 ) . The fictional chronology of Wilder 's books in this regard does not match fact : Wilder was two to four years old in Kansas and four to seven in Wisconsin ; in the novels she is four to five in Wisconsin ( Big Woods ) and six to seven in Kansas ( Prairie ) . According to a letter from her daughter , Rose Wilder Lane , to biographer William Anderson , the publisher had Wilder change her age in Prairie because it seemed unrealistic for a three - year - old to have memories so specific about her story of life in Kansas . To be consistent with her already established chronology , Wilder portrayed herself six to seven years old in Prairie and seven to nine years old in On the Banks of Plum Creek ( 1937 ) , the third volume of her fictionalized history , which takes place around 1874 . On the Banks of Plum Creek shows the family moving from Kansas to an area near Walnut Grove , Minnesota , and settling in a dugout `` on the banks of Plum Creek '' . They really moved there from Wisconsin when Wilder was about seven years old , after briefly living with the family of Laura 's Uncle Peter Ingalls , first in their house in the Big Woods of Wisconsin and then on rented land near Lake City , Minnesota . In Walnut Grove , Laura 's family first lived in a dugout on a preemption claim ; after wintering in the dugout , they moved into a new house built on the same land . Two summers of ruined crops led the Ingalls to move to Iowa . On the way they stayed again with Laura 's Uncle Peter Ingalls , this time on his own farm near South Troy , Minnesota . Wilder 's younger and only brother , Charles Frederick Ingalls ( `` Freddie '' ) , was born there on November 1 , 1875 , and died nine months later on August 27 , 1876 . In Burr Oak , Iowa , the Ingalls family helped run a hotel . Wilder 's youngest sibling , Grace , was born there on May 23 , 1877 . The family moved from Burr Oak , Iowa back to Walnut Grove , Minnesota where Wilder 's father served as the town butcher and justice of the peace . He accepted a railroad job in the spring of 1879 , one which took him to eastern Dakota Territory , where they joined him that fall . Wilder did not write about the period in 1876 -- 1877 when they lived near Burr Oak , but skipped directly to Dakota Territory , portrayed in By the Shores of Silver Lake ( 1939 ) . Thus the fictional timeline caught up with her real life . De Smet ( edit ) Wilder 's father filed for a formal homestead over the winter of 1879 -- 1880 . De Smet , South Dakota , became her parents ' and sister Mary Ingalls ' home for the remainder of their lives . After spending the mild winter of 1879 -- 1880 in the surveyor 's house , they watched the town of De Smet rise up from the prairie in 1880 . The following winter , 1880 -- 1881 , one of the most severe on record in the Dakotas , was later described by Wilder in her novel , The Long Winter ( 1940 ) . Once the family was settled in De Smet , Wilder attended school , worked several part - time jobs , and made friends . Among them was bachelor homesteader Almanzo Wilder . This time in her life is documented in the books Little Town on the Prairie ( 1941 ) and These Happy Golden Years ( 1943 ) . Young teacher ( edit ) On December 10 , 1882 , two months before her 16th birthday , Wilder accepted her first teaching position . She taught three terms in one - room schools when she was not attending school in De Smet . ( In Little Town on the Prairie she receives her first teaching certificate on December 24 , 1882 , but that was an enhancement for dramatic effect. ) Her original `` Third Grade '' teaching certificate can be seen on page 25 of William Anderson 's book Laura 's Album ( 1998 ) . She later admitted she did not particularly enjoy teaching but felt the responsibility from a young age to help her family financially , and wage - earning opportunities for women were limited . Between 1883 and 1885 , she taught three terms of school , worked for the local dressmaker , and attended high school , although she did not graduate . Laura and Almanzo Wilder , circa 1885 Wilder 's teaching career and studies ended when she married Almanzo Wilder , whom she called `` Manly '' , on August 25 , 1885 . As he had a sister named Laura , his nickname for Wilder became `` Bess '' , from her middle name , Elizabeth . Wilder was 18 and he was 28 . He had achieved a degree of prosperity on his homestead claim , and their prospects seemed bright . She joined him in a new home , north of De Smet . Children ( edit ) On December 5 , 1886 , Wilder gave birth to her daughter Rose Wilder . In 1889 , Wilder gave birth to a son who died at 12 days of age before being named . He was buried at De Smet , Kingsbury County , in South Dakota . On the grave marker , he is remembered as `` Baby Son of A.J. Wilder '' . Early marriage ( edit ) Their first few years of marriage for the Wilders were frequently difficult . Complications from a life - threatening bout of diphtheria left Wilder 's husband partially paralyzed . While he eventually regained nearly full use of his legs , he needed a cane to walk for the remainder of his life . This setback , among many others , began a series of disastrous events that included the death of their newborn son ; the destruction of their barn along with its hay and grain by a mysterious fire ; the total loss of their home from a fire accidentally set by their daughter ; and several years of severe drought that left them in debt , physically ill , and unable to earn a living from their 320 acres ( 129.5 hectares ) of prairie land . These trials were documented in Wilder 's book The First Four Years ( published in 1971 ) . Around 1890 , the couple left De Smet and spent about a year resting at the home of Wilder 's husband 's parents on their Spring Valley , Minnesota , farm before moving briefly to Westville , Florida , in search of a climate to improve Wilder 's husband 's health . They found , however , that the dry plains they were used to were very different from the humidity they encountered in Florida . The weather , along with feeling out of place among the locals , encouraged their return to De Smet in 1892 , where they purchased a small home . Move to Mansfield , Missouri ( edit ) Rocky Ridge Farm , Mansfield , Missouri In 1894 , the Wilder family moved to Mansfield , Missouri , and used their savings to make the down payment on an undeveloped property just outside town . They named the place Rocky Ridge Farm and moved into a ramshackle log cabin . At first , Wilder and her husband earned income only from wagon loads of fire wood they would sell in town for 50 cents . Financial security came slowly . Apple trees they planted did not bear fruit for seven years . Wilder 's parents - in - law visited around that time and gave them the deed to the house they had been renting in Mansfield , which was the economic boost Wilder 's family needed . They then added to the property outside town , and eventually accrued nearly 200 acres ( 80.9 hectares ) . Around 1910 , they sold the house in town , moved back to the farm , and completed the farmhouse with the proceeds . What began as about 40 acres ( 16.2 hectares ) of thickly wooded , stone - covered hillside with a windowless log cabin became in 20 years a relatively prosperous poultry , dairy , and fruit farm , and a 10 - room farmhouse . Wilder and her husband had learned from cultivating wheat as their sole crop in De Smet . They diversified Rocky Ridge Farm with poultry , a dairy farm , and a large apple orchard . Wilder became active in various clubs and was an advocate for several regional farm associations . She was recognized as an authority in poultry farming and rural living , which led to invitations to speak to groups around the region . Writing career ( edit ) An invitation to submit an article to the Missouri Ruralist in 1911 led to Wilder 's permanent position as a columnist and editor with that publication , which she held until the mid-1920s . She also took a paid position with the local Farm Loan Association , dispensing small loans to local farmers . Wilder 's column in the Ruralist , `` As a Farm Woman Thinks '' , introduced her to a loyal audience of rural Ozarkians , who enjoyed her regular columns . Her topics ranged from home and family , including her 1915 trip to San Francisco , California , to visit her daughter and the Pan-Pacific exhibition , to World War I and other world events , and to the fascinating world travels of her daughter as well as Wilder 's own thoughts on the increasing options offered to women during this era . While the couple was never wealthy until the `` Little House '' books began to achieve popularity , the farming operation and Wilder 's income from writing and the Farm Loan Association provided them with a stable living . `` ( By ) 1924 '' , according to the Professor John E. Miller , `` ( a ) fter more than a decade of writing for farm papers , Wilder had become a disciplined writer , able to produce thoughtful , readable prose for a general audience . '' At this time , her now - married daughter , Rose Wilder Lane , helped her publish two articles describing the interior of the farmhouse , in Country Gentleman magazine . It was also around this time that Lane began intensively encouraging Wilder to improve her writing skills with a view toward greater success as a writer than Lane had already achieved . The Wilders , according to Miller , had come to `` ( depend ) on annual income subsidies from their increasingly famous and successful daughter . '' They both had concluded that the solution for improving their retirement income was for Wilder to become a successful writer , herself . However , the `` project never proceeded very far . '' In 1928 , Lane hired out the construction of an English - style stone cottage for her parents on property adjacent to the farmhouse they had personally built and still inhabited . She remodeled and took it over . Little House books ( edit ) Main article : List of Little House on the Prairie books The Stock Market Crash of 1929 wiped the Wilders out ; their daughter 's investments were devastated as well . They still owned the 200 acre ( 81 hectare ) farm , but they had invested most of their savings with their daughter Rose Wilder Lane 's broker . In 1930 , Wilder requested Lane 's opinion about an autobiographical manuscript Wilder had written about her pioneering childhood . The Great Depression , coupled with the deaths of Wilder 's mother in 1924 and her older sister in 1928 , seem to have prompted her to preserve her memories in a life story called Pioneer Girl . Wilder also hoped that her writing would generate some additional income . The original title of the first of the books was When Grandma Was a Little Girl . On the advice of Lane 's publisher , Wilder greatly expanded the story . As a result of Lane 's publishing connections as a successful writer and after editing by Lane , Harper & Brothers published Wilder 's book in 1932 as Little House in the Big Woods . After its success , Wilder continued writing . The close and often rocky collaboration between her and Lane continued , in person until 1935 when Lane permanently left Rocky Ridge Farm , and afterward by correspondence . The collaboration worked both ways : two of Lane 's most successful novels , Let the Hurricane Roar ( 1932 ) and Free Land ( 1938 ) , were written at the same time as the `` Little House '' series and basically retold Ingalls and Wilder family tales in an adult format . Authorship controversy ( edit ) Some , including Wilder Lane 's biographer Professor William Holtz , have alleged that Rose Wilder Lane was Wilder 's ghostwriter . Some others , such as Timothy Abreu of Gush Publishing , argue that Wilder was an `` untutored genius '' , relying on her daughter mainly for some early encouragement and Lane 's connections with publishers and literary agents . Still others contend that Lane took each of Wilder 's unpolished rough drafts in hand and completely , but silently , transformed them into the series of books known today . The existing evidence that includes ongoing correspondence between the women about the books ' development , Lane 's extensive diaries , and Wilder 's handwritten manuscripts with edit notations shows an ongoing collaboration between the two women . Miller , using this record , describes varying levels of involvement by Lane . Little House in the Big Woods ( 1932 ) and These Happy Golden Years ( 1943 ) , he notes , received the least editing . `` The first pages ... and other large sections of ( Big Woods ) '' , he observes , `` stand largely intact , indicating ... from the start ... ( Laura 's ) talent for narrative description . '' Some volumes saw heavier participation by Lane , while The First Four Years ( 1971 ) appears to be exclusively a Wilder work . Concludes Miller , `` In the end , the lasting literary legacy remains that of the mother more than that of the daughter ... Lane possessed style ; Wilder had substance . '' The controversy over authorship is often tied to the movement to read the Little House series through an ideological lens . Lane emerged in the 1930s as an avowed conservative polemicist and critic of the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration and his New Deal programs . According to a 2012 article in the New Yorker , `` When Roosevelt was elected , she noted in her diary , ' America has a dictator . ' She prayed for his assassination , and considered doing the job herself . '' Whatever Lane 's politics , `` attacks on ( Wilder 's ) authorship seem aimed at infusing her books with ideological passions they just do n't have . '' Enduring appeal ( edit ) The original Little House books , written for elementary school - age children , became an enduring , eight - volume record of pioneering life late in the 19th century based on the Ingalls family 's experiences on the American frontier . The First Four Years , about the early days of the Wilder marriage , was discovered by her literary executor Roger MacBride after Lane 's 1968 death and published in 1971 , unedited by Lane or MacBride . It is now marketed as the ninth volume . Since the publication of Little House in the Big Woods ( 1932 ) , the books have been continuously in print and have been translated into 40 other languages . Wilder 's first -- and smallest -- royalty check from Harper , in 1932 , was for $500 , equivalent to $8,970 in 2017 . By the mid-1930s the royalties from the Little House books brought a steady and increasingly substantial income to the Wilders for the first time in their 50 years of marriage . The collaboration also brought the two writers at Rocky Ridge Farm the money they needed to recoup the loss of their investments in the stock market . Various honors , huge amounts of fan mail , and other accolades were bestowed on Wilder . Autobiography : Pioneer Girl ( edit ) In 1929 -- 1930 , already in her early 60s , Wilder began writing her autobiography , titled Pioneer Girl . At the time , it was rejected by publishers and was never released . At her daughter 's urging , Wilder rewrote most of her stories for children . The result was the Little House series of books . In 2014 , the South Dakota State Historical Society published an annotated version of Wilder 's autobiography , titled Pioneer Girl : The Annotated Autobiography . Pioneer Girl includes stories that Wilder felt were inappropriate for children : e.g. , a man accidentally immolating himself while drunk , and an incident of extreme violence of a local shopkeeper against his wife , which ended with the man 's setting their house on fire . She also describes previously unknown facets of her father 's character . According to its publisher , `` Wilder 's fiction , her autobiography , and her real childhood are all distinct things , but they are closely intertwined . '' The book 's aim was to explore the differences , including incidents with conflicting or non-existing accounts in one or another of the sources . Later life and death ( edit ) Upon her daughter 's departure from Rocky Ridge Farm , Wilder and her husband moved back into the farmhouse they had built , which had most recently been occupied by friends . From 1935 on , Wilder and her husband were alone at Rocky Ridge Farm . Most of the surrounding area ( including the property with the stone cottage Lane had built for them ) was sold , but they still kept some farm animals , and tended their flower beds and vegetable gardens . Almost daily , carloads of fans stopped by , eager to meet `` Laura '' of the Little House books . The Wilders lived independently and without financial worries until the death of Wilder 's husband at the farm in 1949 at the age of 92 . Wilder remained on the farm . For the next eight years , she lived alone , looked after by a circle of neighbors and friends . She continued an active correspondence with her editors , fans , and friends during these years . Gravesite of Laura Ingalls Wilder and husband Almanzo Wilder at Mansfield Cemetery , Mansfield , Missouri . Buried next to them is daughter Rose Wilder Lane . In autumn 1956 , the 89 - year - old Wilder was severely ill from undiagnosed diabetes and cardiac issues . She was hospitalized by her daughter , who had arrived for Thanksgiving . Wilder was able to return home on the day after Christmas . However , her health declined after her release from the hospital , and she died in her sleep , at home , on February 10 , 1957 , three days after her 90th birthday . Wilder was buried beside her husband at Mansfield Cemetery in Mansfield , Missouri . Their daughter , Rose Wilder Lane , was buried next to them upon her death in 1968 . Estate ( edit ) Following Wilder 's death , possession of Rocky Ridge Farmhouse passed to the farmer who had earlier bought the property under a life lease arrangement . The local population put together a non-profit corporation to purchase the house and its grounds for use as a museum . After some wariness at the notion of seeing the house rather than the books be a shrine to Wilder , Lane came to believe that making a museum of it would draw long - lasting attention to the books . She donated the money needed to purchase the house and make it a museum , agreed to make significant contributions each year for its upkeep , and gave many of her parents ' belongings . In compliance with Wilder 's will , her daughter inherited ownership of the Little House literary estate with the stipulation that it be for only her lifetime , with all rights reverting to the Mansfield library after Lane 's death . Following Lane 's death in 1968 , her will beneficiary , Roger MacBride , gained control of the books ' copyrights . MacBride was to Lane an informally adopted grandson , as well as her business agent and lawyer . All of his actions carried her apparent approval ; at Lane 's request , the copyrights to each of Wilder 's `` Little House '' books , as well as those of Lane 's own literary works , had been renewed in MacBride 's name when the original copyrights expired , during the decade between Wilder 's death and Lane 's death . Controversy arose following MacBride 's death in 1995 , when the Laura Ingalls Wilder Branch of the Wright County Library in Mansfield -- the library founded in part by Wilder -- decided it was worth trying to recover the rights . The ensuing court case was settled in an undisclosed manner , but MacBride 's heirs retained the rights to Wilder 's books . From the settlement , the library received enough to start work on a new building . The popularity of the Little House book series has grown over the years following Wilder 's death , spawning a multimillion - dollar franchise of mass merchandising . Results of the franchise have included additional spinoff book series -- some written by MacBride and his daughter , Abigail MacBride Allen -- and the long - running television series , starring Melissa Gilbert as Wilder and Michael Landon as her father . Works ( edit ) Main article : List of Little House on the Prairie books Because she died in 1957 , the works of Wilder are now public domain in countries where the term of copyright lasts 50 years after the death of the author , or less ; generally this does not include works first published posthumously . Works first published before 1923 or where copyright was not renewed , primarily her newspaper columns , are also public domain in the United States . Little House books ( edit ) The eight `` original '' Little House books were published by Harper & Brothers with illustrations by Helen Sewell ( the first three ) or by Sewell and Mildred Boyle .

when was laura ingalls wilder first book published
[ "The Stock Market Crash of 1929 wiped the Wilders out; their daughter's investments were devastated as well. They still owned the 200 acre (81 hectare) farm, but they had invested most of their savings with their daughter Rose Wilder Lane's broker. In 1930, Wilder requested Lane's opinion about an autobiographical manuscript Wilder had written about her pioneering childhood. The Great Depression, coupled with the deaths of Wilder's mother in 1924 and her older sister in 1928, seem to have prompted her to preserve her memories in a life story called Pioneer Girl. Wilder also hoped that her writing would generate some additional income. The original title of the first of the books was When Grandma Was a Little Girl. On the advice of Lane's publisher, Wilder greatly expanded the story. As a result of Lane's publishing connections as a successful writer and after editing by Lane, Harper & Brothers published Wilder's book in 1932 as Little House in the Big Woods. After its success, Wilder continued writing. The close and often rocky collaboration between her and Lane continued, in person until 1935 when Lane permanently left Rocky Ridge Farm, and afterward by correspondence." ]

The duo brought the project to Warner Bros. , where a VP recommended a more high - concept direction involving time travel or interdimensional portals , suggesting Louis C.K. to portray an older Archie . Dan Lin and Roy Lee became producers on the project , which eventually stalled as priorities shifted at the studio towards larger tentpole films and was reimagined as a television series . Riverdale was originally in development at Fox , with the network landing the project in 2014 with a script deal plus penalty . However , Fox did not go forward with the project . In 2015 , the show 's development was moved to The CW , which officially ordered a pilot on January 29 , 2016 . On March 7 , 2017 , The CW announced that the series had been renewed for a second season . Casting Casting Archie was a difficult process , with Aguirre - Sacasa stating `` I think we literally saw every redheaded young guy in L.A. It certainly felt that way . '' The production team found KJ Apa just three days before they had to present screen tests to the network , which created tension in the last few days leading up to the studio presentation . In April 2017 , it was announced Mark Consuelos had signed on for the second season to play Veronica Lodge 's father , Hiram Lodge . The role was in second position to his existing role on Pitch but the cancellation of that series was announced on May 1 , 2017 .

It was also announced that Casey Cott , who played Kevin Keller , was promoted to a series regular . In July 2017 , it was announced that True Blood star Brit Morgan had been cast in the recurring role of Penny Peabody , an attorney the Southside Serpents call in case of any run - ins with the law . In August 2017 , it was announced Graham Phillips had been cast to play Nick St. Clair , Veronica 's ex-boyfriend from New York .

Homages to other films and TV series Several reviewers had noted that the series ' episode titles , are often taken directly or slightly altered from the titles of older films . For example , De Elizabeth of TeenVogue points out that Riverdale 's pilot episode was named `` River 's Edge '' after the 1986 film of the same name , and the season finale also takes its name from 1997 's The Sweet Hereafter . Executive producer Roberto Aguirre - Sacasa notes that this is a deliberate choice , in order to hint at what will happen in that episode . Additionally , Katie - Kouise Smith , of Popbuzz , notes that the opening credits for Riverdale mirror those of the Twin Peaks television series , and are intended as an homage to that series ' creator , David Lynch .

'' In an article for Vulture , Angelica Jade Bastien discussed the show 's treatment of Josie and the Pussycats ( who are each played by African Americans ) , noting , `` They 're not characters so much as they are a vehicle for a Message .

'' Monique Jones of Ebony noted , `` Despite the show 's multi-racial casting choices , it seems like Riverdale is still a mostly white town . '' She also expressed fondness for the relationship between Archie Andrews and Valerie Brown , but declared `` Archie should n't be what makes Valerie interesting to us '' .

He soon begins his sophomore year and expresses his love for music to Betty Cooper, the sweet girl-next-door who harbors her own secret—her feelings for Archie. Meanwhile, Veronica Lodge, the daughter of Hermione and Hiram, a millionaire facing embezzlement charges, arrives in town, instantly capturing Archie's attention. Despite the fact that a love triangle is developing, Betty and Veronica become fast friends, united when Veronica stands up against the condescending captain of the cheerleading squad, Cheryl Blossom, who may be hiding a secret concerning her brother's death. Archie's former best friend, Jughead Jones, begins to write a novel retelling the events of the summer, including what happened between him and Archie. Kevin Keller and Moose Mason stumble across Jason's body, which has a gunshot wound to the head, by the lake.\n\n\n2\n2\n\"Chapter Two: A Touch of Evil\"\nLee Toland Krieger\nRoberto Aguirre-Sacasa\nFebruary 2, 2017 (2017-02-02)\nT13.20302\n1.15[30]\n\n\nVeronica's kiss with Archie strains his relationship with both girls, while Miss Grundy insists that he not reveal that the two of them heard the gunshot that may have killed Jason since it would also expose their secret affair. Kevin, disturbed by the discovery of Jason's body, refuses to acknowledge Moose's affections for him. Jughead, after accidentally discovering Archie and Grundy holding hands, deduces their secret and confronts Archie for refusing to go to the sheriff, Kevin's father. Archie asks his father, Fred, for advice and decides to come clean. Cheryl strikes up a friendship with Betty, but it soon ends when it becomes clear that she blames Betty's sister, Polly, for Jason's death. At a pep rally in his honor, Cheryl runs away after hallucinating Jason on the field; in the locker room, where Veronica has followed to comfort her, Cheryl admits to her that Jason was supposed to \"come back.\" Against the wishes of her mother, Alice, Betty renews her friendship with both Archie and Veronica, while Archie also reconciles with Jughead. The next day, during science class, Cheryl is arrested due to evidence from Jason's autopsy, which revealed that he was actually murdered a week after the Fourth of July.\n\n\n3\n3\n\"Chapter Three: Body Double\"\nLee Toland Krieger\nYolonda E. Lawrence\nFebruary 9, 2017 (2017-02-09)\nT13.20303\n1.20[31]\n\n\nCheryl admits to Sheriff Keller and her parents, Clifford and Penelope, that Jason wanted to run away and she helped him fake his drowning. Betty, upset with how Alice is attacking the Blossom family in the press, restarts the school newspaper, The Blue and Gold, and sends Jughead to interview the Adventure Scouts who found Cheryl at Sweet Water River just after Jason died. Veronica is enraged to learn that Chuck Clayton, whom she had one date with, has been slut shaming her to the rest of the school and, when he refuses to stop, she, Betty, and Cheryl find evidence linking him and his friends, including Jason, to the shaming. Jughead learns from one of the Scouts that the shot heard on the Fourth of July was fired by the troop's Scoutmaster, Dilton Doiley, during a training exercise. Betty and Veronica drug and torture Chuck until he apologizes and Jughead pressures Dilton to come clean. Fred builds a grounded Archie a studio in which to practice, Chuck is kicked off the football team, and Betty and Cheryl burn the evidence together. Dilton reveals that he saw Miss Grundy's car by the river and Jughead realizes Archie's secret is at risk.\n\n\n4\n4\n\"Chapter Four: The Last Picture Show\"\nMark Piznarski\nMichael Grassi\nFebruary 16, 2017 (2017-02-16)\nT13.20304\n1.14[32]\n\n\nJughead despairs over the news that the local drive-in where he works is closing and compares Riverdale's atmosphere of suspicion to that of Salem. At the diner, Betty spots Archie and Fred having dinner with Miss Grundy and she confronts him about their relationship. Under the guise of an interview, Betty questions Miss Grundy about her life, while Veronica demands answers from Hermione upon learning she was speaking to a gangbanger; Hermione insists that nothing shady happened. Betty and Veronica meet with Archie and inform him that there is no trace of Geraldine Grundy ever existing aside from a woman who died seven years ago. They break into her car and find a gun and ID with the name \"Jennifer Gibson.\" Grundy reveals that she was in an abusive relationship and only wanted to escape. At the drive-in's final night, Veronica spots Hermione meeting with the same man from before. Alice exposes Archie's affair and threatens to put Grundy on trial, but agrees to stand down as long as she leaves town. Sheriff Keller finds that all of his evidence pertaining to Jason's murder has been stolen. Jughead vandalizes the projectionist's booth before leaving his temporary home in full view of the gang leader, who turns out to be his father.\n\n\n5\n5\n\"Chapter Five: Heart of Darkness\"\nJesse Warn\nRoss Maxwell\nFebruary 23, 2017 (2017-02-23)\nT13.20305\n0.98[33]\n\n\nAngry at Cheryl for helping Jason run away, Clifford and Penelope refuse to allow her to speak at Jason's memorial, but Cheryl does so anyway, ultimately breaking down during her speech while wearing the white dress she had on the day he left. Coach Clayton pits Archie and Reggie Mantle against each other for the coveted spot of team captain. Archie is introduced to a potential songwriting mentor, who ultimately decides not to teach him. Trev informs Betty that Jason had become much more secretive in the weeks before his death and was rumored to be selling drugs. Jughead suggests searching the Blossom family mansion for clues during the memorial dinner. He and Betty encounter Jason's grandmother, Rose, who mistakes Betty for Polly and reveals that she and Jason were engaged. While cleaning the diner, Hermione finds a box with a snake inside it, a warning from the Serpents. Betty learns that her family has hated the Blossoms ever since their ancestor killed great-grandfather Cooper decades before. Archie is named captain, but turns it down to focus on his music. Jughead and Betty deduce that her father, Hal, is responsible for stealing the sheriff's evidence.\n\n\n6\n6\n\"Chapter Six: Faster, Pussycats! Kill! Kill!\"\nSteven A.

Meanwhile, Betty and Jughead's investigation into Jason's murder brings them face-to-face with Betty's sister Polly, who is revealed to be captive at a home for troubled youth, unaware of Jason's death and seven months pregnant. As Veronica decides to rebuild her relationship with her mother, she learns that Hermione is using her for her own purposes. At the same time, Hermione's first day of work at Andrews Construction brings her closer to Fred. Josie deals with her own family pressures after her father visits for her performance at the variety show. Betty confronts Hal and Alice about Jason's death to no avail, but grows closer to Jughead, eventually kissing him. After, they discover a car hidden in the woods containing drugs and Jason's belongings.

As tensions continue to grow between the Blossoms and the Coopers, Betty finds her sister hiding in the attic of their house. Cheryl offers to help Betty take care of Polly. F.P., after being offered a job by Fred, reveals that he and Fred founded Andrews Construction together, but Fred kicked him out of the business after bailing him out of jail. Fred counters that F.P. was stealing money from him while abusing drugs and alcohol and that he had no choice. Jughead is taken into custody as a suspect in Jason's murder, but Fred provides Keller with an alibi. Cheryl suspects that her parents have bad intentions with Polly, so Polly moves in with the Lodges instead. F.P. is revealed to have Jason's jacket in his trailer.\n\n\n8\n8\n\"Chapter Eight: The Outsiders\"\nDavid Katzenberg\nJulia Cohen\nMarch 30, 2017 (2017-03-30)\nT13.20308\n0.99[36]\n\n\nPolly reveals to Sheriff Keller that Jason was supposed to make a drug delivery for \"some biker gang\", implied to be the Southside Serpents, in exchange for money before both of them ran away. Veronica suggests hosting a baby shower for Polly. Fred's workers leave because of promised work from Clifford. Archie tries to help Fred by getting some friends to work on the construction project, but Moose is attacked after witnessing someone vandalize the machinery and warned they should stop. After a confrontation with F.P. Jones in the Serpents' bar, Archie realizes Jughead's father is a Serpent. At the baby shower, Penelope and Alice argue over with whom Polly should live. Alice learns that Hal threatened Polly with an abortion, and when he refuses to let her come back, Alice kicks him out of the Cooper household. F.P. recruits some of his Serpents to replace Fred's crew and informs Hermione that Hiram was behind the attack on Fred's construction site. Polly chooses to live with the Blossoms.\n\n\n9\n9\n\"Chapter Nine: La Grande Illusion\"\nLee Rose\nJames DeWille\nApril 6, 2017 (2017-04-06)\nT13.20309\n0.91[37]\n\n\nAs the Blossom family's annual maple tree-tapping ceremony approaches, Cheryl asks Archie to be her escort. When he refuses, Penelope offers to get him into an exclusive music school as a favor. Veronica grows close to Ethel but, when Hermione reveals that her father was one of Hiram's investors, she becomes distraught upon learning that he attempted suicide due to his financial hardship. Alice prepares to publish a full-blown exposé on the Blossoms, but Hal fires her from the paper as retaliation for being kicked out of the house. Betty gets a call from Archie, learning that Polly moved in with the Blossoms to uncover the truth about Jason's death. She and Jughead decide to write the tell-all exposé in The Blue and Gold and ask Alice to join them. Finally realizing that the Blossoms are using him, Archie attempts to reconcile with Val, but she breaks up with him.\n\n\n10\n10\n\"Chapter Ten: The Lost Weekend\"\nDawn Wilkinson\nBritta Lundin & Brian E.

Hiram threatens retaliation against Hermione if Veronica refuses to testify on his behalf. The Vixens elect Veronica as captain over Cheryl, who retaliates by crashing the party with Chuck and his friends. F.P. also shows up after Betty's insistence. Jughead argues with Betty and tries to leave, but Cheryl forces him to stay for a \"game\" in which participants are forced to reveal their secrets. Jughead and Chuck get into a fight and F.P. declares the party over. He urges his son to reconcile with Betty and confronts Alice, implying she was once a member of the Serpents.

To Archie's surprise, his father returns home with his mother, Mary.\n\n\n11\n11\n\"Chapter Eleven: To Riverdale and Back Again\"\nKevin Sullivan\nRoberto Aguirre-Sacasa\nApril 27, 2017 (2017-04-27)\nT13.20311\n0.89[39]\n\n\nWhile Archie and his mother reconnect, Veronica learns that Hiram may soon be released from prison. F.P. questions the purpose of Jughead's novel, urging him to consider moving on. To learn the truth about Hiram, Veronica decides to investigate F.P. as a possible suspect in Jason's murder. The Blossoms, increasingly suspicious of Polly, forbid her from entering their master bedroom. Fred and Mary agree to attend homecoming together. Polly and Cheryl discover the former's engagement ring in Penelope's jewelry collection, which she claims is because Jason threw it away in disgust after arguing with Clifford. At a contentious dinner, Alice tries to question F.P., but he shuts her down. Afterwards, he informs Jughead that they will be moving to Toledo to reunite with the rest of the Jones family. While Archie and Veronica perform \"Kids in America\" at homecoming, the police execute a search warrant on F.P.'s trailer, find a gun, and arrest him for murder.

F.P. confesses to everything, including Jason's murder. Betty and Alice catch Hal trying to destroy evidence and learn the family secret: the Coopers are, in fact, Blossoms by blood, making Jason and Polly's relationship technically incest. The Coopers take Polly back to their home. Mary, posing as F.P.'s lawyer, advises Jughead to visit his father, who tells him never to come see him again. With Joaquin's help, the group tracks down one of F.P.'s associates, but finds him dead of an apparent overdose. The police are summoned and find a bag full of money with Hermione's initials on it. With both Hal and Hermione cleared as suspects, Jughead and Betty investigate a lead from Kevin and find Jason's varsity jacket. Inside one of the pockets, they find a thumb drive and discover Clifford murdered Jason, which they tell Cheryl. Nevertheless, Jughead learns that his father's other charges will not be dropped.

When the police go to arrest Clifford, they discover he has hanged himself in the syrup distillery.\n\n\n13\n13\n\"Chapter Thirteen: The Sweet Hereafter\"\nLee Toland Krieger\nRoberto Aguirre-Sacasa\nMay 11, 2017 (2017-05-11)\nT13.20313\n0.96[41]\n\n\nIt is revealed that Clifford was in the drug business and Jason found out. Clifford killed Jason to stop him from exposing the family business. F.P. is cleared of all charges relating to the murder, but remains in police custody. Alice reveals to Betty that, in high school, she found out she was pregnant, but Hal sent her to the Sisters of Silent Mercy and made her give up the child, a baby boy, for adoption. Jughead is placed in the care of a foster family and transfers to Southside High. Devastated by her father's secrets and suicide, Cheryl attempts to drown herself in Sweetwater River, but Archie, along with Veronica, Betty, and Jughead, saves her. Cheryl later burns down the Thornhill mansion, much to Penelope's dismay. The next day, Archie meets Fred at Pop's, where a masked gunman arrives and demands Pop turn over his money.

It was released for Microsoft Windows , PlayStation 3 , and the Xbox 360 on November 13 , 2012 , and for the Wii U on November 18 in North America and November 30 elsewhere . Black Ops II is the ninth game in the Call of Duty franchise of video games , a sequel to the 2010 game Call of Duty : Black Ops and the first Call of Duty game for the Wii U . A corresponding game for the PlayStation Vita , Call of Duty : Black Ops : Declassified , was developed by nStigate Games and also released on November 13 . The game 's campaign follows up the story of Black Ops and is set in two different time periods ; the late 1980s and 2025 . In the 80s , the player switches control between Alex Mason and Frank Woods , two of the protagonists from Black Ops , while in 2025 , the player assumes control of Mason 's son , David ( codenamed `` Section '' ) . Both time periods involve the characters pursuing Raul Menendez , a Nicaraguan cartel leader , who is responsible for kidnapping Woods in the 80s and later sparking a second Cold War in 2025 . The campaign features nonlinear gameplay and has multiple endings . Development for the game began sometime after the release of Black Ops , with Activision promising that the follow - up would bring `` meaningful innovation '' to the Call of Duty franchise . Black Ops II is the first game in the series to feature futuristic warfare technology and the first to present branching storylines driven by player choice as well as selecting weapons before starting story mode missions . It also offers a 3D display option . The game was officially revealed on May 1 , 2012 , following a set of leaked information released during the previous months . Black Ops II received generally positive reviews from critics . The game was a commercial success ; within 24 hours of going on sale , the game grossed over $500 million . It had remained the largest entertainment launch of all time until September 2013 , when Take - Two Interactive announced that Grand Theft Auto V had grossed $800 million in its first day of release . It went on to sell 7.5 million copies in the U.S. in November 2012 , making it the highest grossing game of the month . A sequel , Call of Duty : Black Ops III , was released in 2015 . Black Ops II was made backwards compatible for the Xbox One in April 2017 . Contents 1 Gameplay 1.1 Campaign 1.2 Multiplayer 1.3 Zombies 2 Plot 2.1 Single - player campaign 2.1. 1 Setting and characters 2.1. 2 Story 2.1. 3 Endings 2.2 Zombies 2.2. 1 Characters and setting 2.2. 2 Story 3 Development 3.1 Internal leaks 3.2 Reveal 3.3 Gameplay revisions 3.4 Japanese release 3.5 Soundtrack 3.6 The Replacers 4 Downloadable content 5 Reception 5.1 Critical reception 5.2 Sales and revenue 5.3 Lawsuit 6 References 6.1 Notes 6.2 Citations 7 External links Gameplay ( edit ) Tactical view in a Strike Force mission Campaign ( edit ) Black Ops II is the first Call of Duty video game to feature branching storylines , in which the player 's choice affects both the current mission and in turn , the overall course of the story . Known as `` Strike Force missions '' , these branching storylines appear during the 2025 storyline and feature permanent death . The success or failure of these missions can have ramifications for the wider campaign storyline . Choosing one of the missions locks out the others unless the player begins a fresh campaign . Strike Force missions allow the player to control a number of different war assets , such as unmanned aerial vehicles , jet fighters and robots . If the player dies in a Strike Force mission , the campaign continues recording that loss , as opposed to letting the player load a previously saved checkpoint . The player 's progress in the Strike Force missions may go on to change even the plans of the story 's antagonist , Raul Menendez . By the end of the game , the player may have changed the results of the new Cold War . Similarly , in the main story missions , there are certain points where the player is given different choices and paths to progress , which could have an effect on the gameplay , as well as the story . Black Ops II is also the first game in the series to allow the player to customize their loadout before beginning a mission , creating freedom in choosing how to approach a mission . Multiplayer ( edit ) One of the biggest changes added to multiplayer in Black Ops II is the introduction of Pick 10 , a new system within the Create - a-Class menu . Pick 10 gives the player a total of 10 allocation slots in a class , which are used for guns , perks , grenades , etc ... The player can choose to allocate the slots however they like , to either have more attachments for a gun , or more perks . Killstreaks from previous Call of Duty games are renamed as Scorestreaks , which are now earned by gaining points , rather than kills . This allows the player to focus on objective modes , which also earn points towards Scorestreaks . Unlike past games , weapons in Black Ops II have a progression system , which is used to unlock weapon attachments . After maxing out a weapon 's level , the player can choose to `` prestige '' the gun , similar to how they can prestige the player level , and reset their attachment progress . In exchange , the player can customize their weapons with custom clan tags and emblems . Black Ops II is also the first Call of Duty game to include a competitive mode . Known as League Play , the mode allows players of similar skill level to be matched together , and play according to the rules of Major League Gaming . Zombies ( edit ) Treyarch confirmed that the Zombies mode would return for Black Ops II with new game modes . This is the third Call of Duty game to feature a Zombies mode , following Call of Duty : World at War and Call of Duty : Black Ops , and the first to have game modes other than the traditional Survival mode . Treyarch also confirmed that Zombies would run on the game 's multiplayer engine , allowing for a deeper community experience , along with new features . A new , 8 player co-op game called `` Grief '' is also supported , featuring 2 teams of 4 players competing to survive , unlike the previous games which only supported 4 player online co-op . As with the previous installments , each Zombies map contains `` Easter eggs '' side quests , which is used to progress the story . Another new mode , `` Turned '' , is introduced with several downloadable content maps , in which one player attempts to survive three player - controlled zombies who must turn the other player into a zombie . Plot ( edit ) Single - player campaign ( edit ) Setting and characters ( edit ) The single - player campaign features two connected storylines , with the first set from 1986 to 1989 during the final years of the First Cold War , and the other set in 2025 during a Second Cold War . The protagonist of Black Ops , Alex Mason ( Sam Worthington ) returns as the protagonist in the first Cold War section , and chronicles the rise to infamy of the game 's primary antagonist , Raul Menendez ( Kamar de los Reyes ) . The 2025 section of the game features Alex Mason 's son David ( codenamed Section ) ( Rich MacDonald ) as the protagonist , in which Menendez is plotting against the United States and China with one of his ultimate goals being to see the United States locked in a new Cold War with China , in revenge for many of his misfortunes . In this era , wars are defined by robotics , cyberwarfare , unmanned vehicles , and other futuristic technology . Returning characters include Alex 's CIA squadmates Frank Woods ( James C. Burns ) and Jason Hudson ( Michael Keaton ) , former Soviet Army Colonel Lev Kravchenko ( Andrew Divoff ) , and disgraced Red Army Captain Viktor Reznov ( Gary Oldman ) . New characters include : Section 's SEAL teammates Mike Harper ( Michael Rooker ) and Javier Salazar ( Celestino Cornielle ) , their commanding officer Admiral Tommy Briggs ( Tony Todd ) , the CIA double agent Farid ( Omid Abtahi ) , U.S. President Marion Bosworth ( Cira Larkin ) , Strategic Defense Coalition leader General Tian Zhao ( Byron Mann ) , Tacitus Corporation ex-employee Chloe Lynch ( codename Karma ) ( Erin Cahill ) . The game also features several historical and real - life characters , including : UNITA leader Jonas Savimbi ( Robert Wisdom ) , former Panamanian leader Manuel Noriega ( Benito Martinez ) , Colonel Oliver North ( voiced by himself ) , and former CIA director David Petraeus ( Jim Meskimen ) . Jimmy Kimmel cameos as himself in one of the game 's endings , while the rock band Avenged Sevenfold makes a non-canonical appearance at the end of the game . Story ( edit ) In 1986 , Alex Mason , now retired from active duty , pursues an obscure existence in Alaska with his son , seven - year - old David . Their shaky relationship is further strained when Mason is approached by Jason Hudson for an assignment in Cuando Cubango during the height of the Angolan Civil and South African Border Wars . Frank Woods and his team have disappeared aiding Jonas Savimbi 's UNITA rebels against Angola 's Marxist government ; their actions have already been disavowed by the CIA , but Hudson hopes to rescue any survivors . Mason and Hudson recover Woods from the Kavango River , subsequently locating Raul Menendez among a contingent of Cuban military advisers . As a lengthy firefight breaks out , the trio are rescued by Savimbi . It is revealed that Menendez is responsible for holding Woods captive after murdering his team . In light of this , Mason , Woods , and Hudson begin tracking Menendez , an established primary arms dealer for bush conflicts in Southern Africa and Latin America . The CIA later authorize a strike against the unscrupulous Nicaraguan , now making a healthy profit running arms across Soviet - occupied Afghanistan . The trio and Chinese operative Tian Zhao ally with the Afghan Mujahideen against the Soviets . They locate Lev Kravchenko , who survived the grenade explosion with Woods in Vietnam , and interrogate him into disclosing that Menendez has moles inside the CIA . The Mujahideen then betray the Americans and Zhao , leaving them to die in the Afghan wilderness until their rescue by two unidentified civilians . The origins of Menendez 's anti-American sentiment is revealed at this point . His sister Josefina was disfigured in a fire as part of an insurance fraud masterminded by an American businessman . The CIA sanctions the assassination of Menendez 's father after uncovering his ties to South American drug trade . Mason , Woods , Hudson , and Panamanian security forces led by President Manuel Noriega raid Menendez 's compound in Nicaragua ; during the chaos , Woods inadvertently kills Josefina with a grenade . Conspiring with Noriega to fake his demise , Menendez crosses paths with Mason and Woods again during the American invasion of Panama . Utilizing moles within the CIA , Menendez captures Hudson and David , and has Hudson manipulate Woods into shooting Mason before crippling Woods . He then executes Hudson , promising to return and complete his revenge at a later date . In 2025 , Menendez reemerges as the charismatic leader of Cordis Die , a militant populist movement . His organization stages a cyberattack that cripples the Chinese stock exchanges , forcing their government to leverage its economic influence and sparking a second Cold War between NATO and the Chinese - led Strategic Defense Coalition headed by Zhao . David , now a Navy SEAL code - named Section , spearheads an effort by American Joint Special Operations Command ( JSOC ) to track down Menendez . They fail to apprehend him , but learn that Menendez is planning a second cyberattack with global repercussions , dependent on a quantum supercomputer engineered by rogue developer Chloe Lynch . Section and two other SEALs , Harper and Salazar , either rescue Lynch by killing Menendez 's second - in - command , DeFalco , or he escapes . The `` Strike Force '' mission `` Second Chance '' must be completed to rescue Lynch if the latter occurs . JSOC finally capture Menendez in Yemen with the assistance of undercover CIA agent , Farid . However , prior to being apprehended , Menendez orders Farid to kill a captured Harper . Farid will be executed by Menendez if he refuses . American forces take Menendez aboard the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Barack Obama , commanded by Admiral Briggs ; however , Menendez escapes with the aid of a mole inside JSOC : Salazar . How Salazar 's betrayal pans out is determinant on the fates of Lynch , Farid , and DeFalco . Menendez hacks into the U.S. military satellite to seize control of their entire drone fleet . Whether the Americans regain control is determined on whether the Strike Force missions were completed and whether Briggs remains alive to activate the ship 's defenses . Regardless , Menendez uses the drones to attack Los Angeles during a meeting of G20 leaders , hoping to kill them and foment widespread economic and civil chaos . With the drones also targeting several other strategic cities across the U.S. and China , Section escorts the President of the United States to safety in a Cougar HE . Menendez is tracked to Haiti , where Section must either execute or reapprehend him . Endings ( edit ) The events of the player 's ending is determinant on the fates of Menendez , Lynch , and Alex Mason , and whether the Strike Force missions were completed . If Section executes Menendez , Cordis Die supporters launch a massive global insurrection , resulting in widespread anarchy . This is the canonical ending and sets the background for Call of Duty : Black Ops III . If Section reapprehends Menendez and Lynch survives , she will prevent Menendez 's cyberattack and he will remain imprisoned , watching Lynch being interviewed on Jimmy Kimmel Live . If Section reapprehends Menendez and Lynch was killed or not rescued , Menendez 's cyberattack will succeed and he will break out of prison . After confronting and killing Woods , Menendez commits suicide at his sister 's grave . If Mason survives being shot by Woods , he will reunite with him and Section . Otherwise , David retires from the military after visiting his father 's grave . If all the Strike Force missions were completed , China and the United States enter into an alliance , ending the Second Cold War . A non-canon ending is unlocked by completing the game , depicting Menendez and Woods performing at a concert with Synyster Gates and M. Shadows of Avenged Sevenfold . Zombies ( edit ) Characters and setting ( edit ) Zombies takes place throughout various time periods , mostly focused during the modern time , in a post-apocalyptic world , created as a result of the missile launch from the moon striking the Earth . The majority of the story follows four new characters : Samuel Stuhlinger ( David Boat ) , Marlton Johnson ( Scott Menville ) , Abigail `` Misty '' Briarton ( Stephanie Lemelin ) and Russman ( Keith Szarabajka ) . Dr. Edward Richtofen ( Nolan North ) , one of the previous playable characters from the previous game , returns as the demonic announcer , overseeing the four characters . Another returning character is Dr. Ludvig Maxis ( Fred Tatasciore ) , who instructs the new group to help him defeat Richtofen . Players can choose whether to help Maxis or Richtofen , which will have different results once the story ends . The map `` Mob of the Dead '' features a new crew of characters : Albert `` The Weasel '' Arlington ( Joe Pantoliano ) , Billy Handsome ( Ray Liotta ) , Michael `` Finn '' O'Leary ( Michael Madsen ) , and Salvatore `` Sal '' DeLuca ( Chazz Palminteri ) . The map `` Origins '' features an alternate version of the original crew : Tank Dempsey ( Steven Blum ) , Nikolai Belinski ( also voiced by Tatasciore ) , Takeo Masaki ( Tom Kane ) , and Richtofen , as well as Maxis ' daughter , Samantha ( Grace Kaufman ) . Story ( edit ) In the year 2025 at Nevada , a team of CIA and CDC operatives investigate a nuclear testing site known as `` Nuketown '' , where they are attacked by zombies . At the same time , Dr. Edward Richtofen seizes control of the zombies by entering the Aether from Group 935 's moon base . However , Dr. Ludvig Maxis joins with his daughter Samantha and Richtofen 's former allies , Tank Dempsey , Nikolai Belinski , and Takeo Masaki , to thwart him . To end this , Maxis launches three massive nuclear missiles filled with Element 115 , the element responsible for the reanimation of dead cells , at the Earth , destroying its atmosphere . One missile completely destroys Nuketown and all present , except for one individual , Marlton Johnson , who escapes after hiding out in the site 's bunker . Ten years later following the events on the Moon , Earth has been reduced to a crumbling , hellish wasteland overrun by zombies . In this new world , four survivors - Samuel Stuhlinger , Abigail `` Misty '' Briarton , Marlton , and Russman - have banded together to survive in Washington with the help of a bus driven by a robotic driver . The four are contacted by both Richtofen and Maxis , who is now a digital artificial intelligence , for aid against the other . Both former scientists request the four to assist them in powering up a tower within the area to work in their favor . Once done , regardless of the path they choose , they are teleported by Richtofen to a crumbling skyline in Shanghai , China . The four learn of The Flesh , a cannibalistic cult that chooses to eat zombie meat , as well as the beginnings of a new airborne pandemic of Element 115 . Stuhlinger is threatened by Richtofen , who knows of his past as a member of The Flesh , which allows only him to hear Richtofen and not the others . At the site , Maxis and Richtofen once again instruct the four to power up a second tower . Following their battles in Shanghai , Russman leads the group across the continents to a large hole in the ground known as The Rift in Africa , hoping to find answers about the unseen forces commanding them . Richtofen commands Samuel to `` mend the rift '' . The four gain a new ally in the form of a mute giant ( real name later known as Arthur ) in a Western town warped underground by temporal displacement , and are hampered by a ghostly woman in a massive mansion . In the canonical ending , the group aids Maxis , allowing him to use the power from the towers to enter the Aether and assume ultimate control , trapping Richtofen in a zombie 's body . However , the Earth begins shaking , and Maxis explains to the four that he is beginning the process of the destruction of the Earth and humanity to reach Agartha , where he believes Samantha is ; in the non-canon ending , the group aids Richtofen , letting him gain unlimited power over the Aether and the Earth , allowing him to kill Maxis and condemn Samantha 's soul to eternal damnation . Following the canonical ending , Maxis then plucks Samantha 's soul from Richtofen 's body on the Moon and forces her to join him in Agartha . Realizing her father has been corrupted by the Aether , Samantha reaches out to an alternate version of him , who resides in Dimension 63 . She ends up in 1918 in France during World War I , where Group 935 was formed much earlier , with Maxis as one of its leaders , operating to secure German victory in the war . Group 935 created mechanical robots , as well as staffs that control the powers of the elements . Stumbling upon an ancient tomb believed to be of Vril origin , they accidentally unleash the first known zombie outbreak in history . Aiming to stop Germany , Japan , Russia and the United States of America send Takeo , Nikolai and Dempsey to capture Richtofen , the mastermind behind the advanced technology . By this time , Group 935 's operatives have been wiped out , and Maxis himself was lobotomized when he began to turn into a zombie . The group are contacted by Samantha , who begs them to free her from Agartha . Richtofen puts Maxis ' brain in a flying drone , and he joins the fight against the zombies and to free Samantha . The group is eventually successful , and while Maxis meets his daughter , they enter Agartha to be rewarded . A cutscene is played , showing Samantha with a boy named Eddie inside a house playing with toys of the characters who have appeared in the Zombies game mode throughout all three games . Air raid sirens are heard and the two children retreat to the basement with Maxis , with Samantha noting her father has a plan to make the heroes of their games real . A separate story , `` Mob of the Dead '' , taking place also in Dimension 63 , focuses on four mobsters : Salvatore `` Sal '' DeLuca , Billy Handsome , Michael `` Finn '' O'Leary , and Albert `` The Weasel '' Arlington , who are incarcerated at Alcatraz Island . On New Year 's Eve 1933 , the four attempt to escape the prison , using Weasel 's plan to build a makeshift airplane called Icarus . However , the prison becomes infested with zombies , and they are forced to fight their way out . They succeed in building the airplane , but crash - land at the Golden Gate Bridge . They are then teleported back to the prison , with no memories of their previous attempt ( except Weasel , who keeps a journal of the ongoing events ) . They continuously try to escape , but the result remains the same . After many failures , they discover that they were actually stuck in Purgatory , constantly repeating a cycle as punishment for their past sins . In reality , the escape plan never came to fruition , and Weasel was killed by the other three on New Year 's Eve , while the rest were given the death penalty weeks later . Having remembered the truth , Sal , Billy and Finn set out to kill Weasel once again . Two possible endings can occur : if Weasel is killed , the cycle repeats once again ; if Weasel lives and the other three are killed , the cycle is broken , and he is finally freed of his punishment . Development ( edit ) Activision Blizzard CEO Robert Kotick stated on November 8 , 2011 , that a new Call of Duty game was in development for a 2012 release and will be the newest installment in the franchise . The game was officially confirmed by Activision during its fourth - quarter earnings call on February 9 , 2012 , and promised that it will feature `` meaningful innovation '' for the series . Oliver North , who was involved in the Iran -- Contra affair was a consultant on the 1980s portion and helped promote the game . The author and defense expert Peter W. Singer served as a consultant on the 2025 storyline of the game . Internal leaks ( edit ) Reports of Black Ops 2 surfaced following a product page for Call of Duty : Black Ops 2 appeared on Amazon France before quickly being taken down in February 2012 . No information had yet been released by Activision , but Gameblog claimed that Activision demanded it remove its original report too . When it refused to do so , the publisher cut off Gameblog from ad support , review game mailings and future Activision events for refusing to comply . Later Activision denied Gameblog 's claims that it has been cut off . Around the same time , computer game artist Hugo Beyer also listed `` Black Ops 2 '' as his current project in his Linkedin CV , before his LinkedIn page was taken down . Beyer is an artist working for Nerve Software , `` a Dallas - based independent developer '' which has `` helped '' with previous Activision games including , Black Ops in 2010 . A `` Black Ops 2 '' trademark by Activision was spotted January 2012 . Further , Black Ops 2 was listed by the France international entertainment retail chain Fnac in March 2012 , which touted a predictable November release date . On April 9 , 2012 , an image was leaked from a URL on the official Call of Duty website , which leaked the Call of Duty : Black Ops 2 logo , as well as a reveal date of April 28 , 2012 . The URL was later removed . On April 18 , 2012 , Kotaku received an image from `` a retail source '' , which showed a teaser poster that lacked a game title but had clear nods to Black Ops and a May 2 date that seemingly points to a reveal . On April 27 , 2012 , an image containing two Target pre-order cards sent by IGN reader Richard confirmed the game 's title and release date . The cards clearly display the Call of Duty : Black Ops II logo , and the release date November 13 , 2012 . Reveal ( edit ) Call of Duty : Black Ops II advertisements are shown at Gamescom 2012 in Cologne , Germany On April 23 , 2012 , Activision redesigned CallofDuty.com to announce that the game will be revealed on May 1 , 2012 , during the NBA playoffs on TNT . The art featured on the site matched up perfectly with the supposed retailer leak received by Kotaku . However , parts of the official website went live hours prior to the announcement , which revealed the title , confirmed the release date for PC , PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 , and the `` 21st Century Cold War '' setting . Activision had hinted that the game may eventually become available for Nintendo 's own consoles , although had no official announcements for the time being . As promised by Activision , the preview for the game was revealed in the form of a YouTube trailer that detailed the futuristic setting , the characters carried over from the previous games , and the conflict . After the game was revealed , the preorder rates on the game set records three times higher than for the preorders of the first Black Ops . Critics have noted the trailer 's similarities to that of Metal Gear Solid 4 : Guns of the Patriots . On July 19 , 2012 , a second trailer was released by Treyarch , offering insight into the game 's narrative . The storyline has been described by writer David S. Goyer as `` better than a Hollywood movie '' . Gameplay revisions ( edit ) In developing Black Ops II , Treyarch introduced several revisions to the gameplay mechanics for online multiplayer that have been a hallmark of the Call of Duty franchise . These include the introduction of `` multi-team '' games that allow matches to host three or more teams of players , in contrast to the traditional two factions , and revisions to the `` Create - A-Class '' function that allows users to select which guns , attachments , weapon camouflage and perks ( additional bonuses that alter aspects of gameplay ) to use in multiplayer matches . The `` Kill Streak '' function , which gives players in - game rewards for killing other players , was revised and is now known as `` Score Streaks '' . Whereas players still receive in - game rewards , these are unlocked by performing certain actions -- such as killing other players , successfully capturing territory , and so on - rather than simply killing other players . Furthermore , the `` wager matches '' feature included in Call of Duty : Black Ops was removed . These changes were introduced to shift the emphasis towards objective - based gameplay , to reward players who work in teams and to make the game more accessible to new players . Additionally , Treyarch announced plans to integrate Black Ops II into the world of `` eSports '' or competitive gaming . To this end , Treyarch unveiled a matchmaking system designed to pair players up based on their skills within the game to ensure that online games are relatively equal in terms of player skill . They also announced what they termed `` CODcasting '' , a form of live streaming that allows users to stream their games directly onto YouTube from their gaming consoles . There is also 3D support if players are playing with an HDMI cable on a 3D TV . Before one enters multiplayer mode , one needs to simply just turn on the 3D setting in the `` options '' menu . Japanese release ( edit ) Square Enix released the game for the Japanese market on November 22 , 2012 , as a subbed version . A Japanese voice - dubbed version was released separately on December 20 , 2012 . The script for this version was translated by Zenigame Nakamoto . The translated version was criticized for its translation errors . The Japanese release of the Wii U port is only the dubbed version since the console was not available in Japan in November . Soundtrack ( edit ) Call of Duty : Black Ops II ( Original Soundtrack ) Soundtrack album by Jack Wall Released November 13 , 2012 Genre Video game soundtrack Length 2 : 28 : 49 The game 's soundtrack was composed by Jack Wall , with the main theme composed by Trent Reznor the leader of industrial rock project Nine Inch Nails since 1988 . The soundtrack was released as a part of the Hardened Edition and Care Package releases , as well as on iTunes and Amazon , with two supplemental tracks by Brian Tuey , as well as `` Symphony No. 40 in G minor , K550 ( Allegro Molto ) '' by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart . Also , a version of the song `` Try It Out '' by Skrillex and Alvin Risk is used in the game , but it is not present in the soundtrack album . When the Campaign is completed , after the end credits , Woods and Menendez perform a concert with heavy metal band Avenged Sevenfold on their song `` Carry On '' , with Woods on drums and Menendez on rhythm guitar . The band chose to use Woods as the drummer in the game due to the loss of their original drummer The Rev , who died of a drug overdose on December 28 , 2009 . The band 's song `` Shepherd of Fire '' is featured on the Zombie mode Origins . Additional artists include Sean Murray , Jimmy Hinson , Sergio Jimenez Lacima , Kamar de los Reyes , Azam Ali , & Rudy Cardenas . The Replacers ( edit ) Heralding the release of Black Ops II 's DLCs , Activision releases a live - action short starring a well - groomed Peter Stormare , who acts as a `` Replacer '' , part of a group who are sent by mutual friends to take your place during your daily life while you can stay at home and play Black Ops II 's new content . Stormare goes on to explain the aims of his jobs and is then shown in multiple situations where he has taken over random people 's jobs , such as masquerading as a pregnant lady 's husband , working at an office , and enduring a grandmother 's endless talking , as well as other such scenarios . To promote Black Ops II 's second DLC , entitled `` Uprising '' , comedian J.B. Smoove joined Stormare in the second production of The Replacers , in which the two maintain a haphazard relationship . Stormare normally acts as a mentor to the new replacer Smoove by pointing out his various quirks while doing his job , such as his poor performance defending his client while he replaces a lawyer , admitting that he might be guilty . Downloadable content ( edit ) A Black Ops II Season Pass was released by Treyarch with the release of the game . On December 12 , 2012 , all Xbox 360 Season Pass holders received access to the Nuketown Zombies map , with PC holders following on January 17 , and PlayStation 3 holders on January 19 , having been delayed two days due to PSN technical issues . It was later released as an individual download for PC on April 13 , 2013 . The first major DLC pack is called Revolution . It was announced on January 8 , 2013 , and released for Xbox 360 on January 29 and PC and PS3 on February 28 The pack contained four new multiplayer maps - Downhill , Hydro , Mirage and Grind ; and two new Zombies modes - Turned and Die Rise .

The Die Rise map is a larger zombies survival map taking place in a destroyed office building , where one to four players use elevators to travel between floors . Personalisation pack microtransactions for the game were released for Xbox 360 on March 12 , 2013 , and PC and PS3 on April 12 . These allow the player to make small aesthetic changes to the multiplayer functionality of the game , like adding the flag of their country to the kill notification box , adding new weapon skins and allowing the player to use more Create - a-Class slots . The second major DLC pack is known as Uprising . It was released for Xbox 360 on April 16 , 2013 , and came out for PC and PS3 players on 16 May .

Reception ( edit ) Critical reception ( edit ) Reception Aggregate scores Aggregator Score GameRankings ( WIIU ) 86.07 % ( X360 ) 85.53 % ( PS3 ) 82.57 % ( PC ) 79.17 % Metacritic ( X360 ) 83 / 100 ( PS3 ) 83 / 100 ( WIIU ) 81 / 100 ( PC ) 74 / 100 Review scores Publication Score G4 4.5 / 5 Game Informer 8.5 / 10 GameSpot 8.0 / 10 GameTrailers 9.4 / 10 IGN 9.3 / 10 OPM ( UK ) 8 / 10 OXM ( US ) 8.5 / 10 OXM ( UK ) 8 / 10 Call of Duty : Black Ops II received generally positive reviews from critics . IGN editor Anthony Gallegos describes the game as `` a good example of how to evolve an annualized franchise . '' Gallegos praised the game for telling a story was genuinely interesting and creating a villain that he empathised with to the point of questioning his own actions over the course of the story . Gallegos directed criticisms at the artificial intelligence of allies in Strike Force mode and at the ending of the campaign , which he felt was disappointing even though he was aware that the outcome was directly influenced by the choices he made . Dan Ryckert of Game Informer was also critical of the artificial intelligence of Strike Force mode , and was unimpressed by the `` Pick Ten '' system introduced to multiplayer modes , noting that it was `` interesting , but ultimately less exciting '' than the system used in previous Call of Duty titles . Like Gallegos , Ryckert praised the narrative and structure of the single - player campaign , introducing changes that he felt were overdue and noting that the branching storylines `` had me talking to others about their experiences in a way I had never done before with this ( Call of Duty ) series '' . Steven O'Donnell and Stephanie Bendixsen , of video game talk show Good Game , both gave the game an 8.5 out of 10 , praising the gameplay multiplayer and zombies mode , but were critical of the campaign 's confusing narrative and Strike Force missions . In particular to the narrative Good Game , was critical of the opening battle where the player guns down fleeing Africans rebels , feeling that it was added purely for shock value and commenting that The landscape of shooters is changing somewhat . The fact is that everyone loves playing military shooters , but we 're also realising that we do n't want to glorify aimless killings . A lot of games are trying to make you feel that conflict and even make you feel bad about what you 're doing . But I do n't think it 's been handled very well here . Frederick Charles Fripp of IT News Africa gave it a final score of 9.2 / 10 and wrote that `` BO2 is a non-stop action - packed shooter that will keep gamers on their toes and on the edge of their seats . It has everything a player could want in a game : great graphics , a good story , easy controls and superb acting . '' Sales and revenue ( edit ) Activision reported sales figures for Black Ops II in the U.S. were more than 7.5 million copies sold on launch day and grossed over $500 million , in the US alone in its first 24 hours , making it the biggest entertainment launch of all time until the record was surpassed by Grand Theft Auto V in September 2013 . It is the fourth year in a row that the Call Of Duty series has broken the same record . 2011 's Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 3 grossed $400 million on one full day ; 2010 's Call of Duty : Black Ops grossed $360 million on day one ; in 2009 , Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 2 brought in $310 million . Black Ops II went on to gross $1 billion in the first 15 days of availability , beating Modern Warfare 3 's record of the first 16 days . On November 5 , 2013 , IGN confirmed that the game sold 24.2 million copies , making it the third highest selling game in the series , behind 2010 's Black Ops , and 2011 's Modern Warfare 3 . Lawsuit ( edit ) In July 2014 , former Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega sued Activision for lost profits from the use of his likeness in the game . He also claims that his inclusion translated to higher sales of Black Ops II . Noriega makes an appearance in the Cold War portions of the game and aids the primary antagonist . The suit sought compensation for lost profits and damages for his depiction as a `` kidnapper , murderer , and enemy of the state '' in the game . On October 28 , the Los Angeles court dismissed the lawsuit , ruling that Noriega 's inclusion was protected under free speech laws .

when does mob of the dead take place
[ "A separate story, \"Mob of the Dead\", taking place also in Dimension 63, focuses on four mobsters: Salvatore \"Sal\" DeLuca, Billy Handsome, Michael \"Finn\" O'Leary, and Albert \"The Weasel\" Arlington, who are incarcerated at Alcatraz Island. On New Year's Eve 1933, the four attempt to escape the prison, using Weasel's plan to build a makeshift airplane called Icarus. However, the prison becomes infested with zombies, and they are forced to fight their way out. They succeed in building the airplane, but crash-land at the Golden Gate Bridge. They are then teleported back to the prison, with no memories of their previous attempt (except Weasel, who keeps a journal of the ongoing events). They continuously try to escape, but the result remains the same. After many failures, they discover that they were actually stuck in Purgatory, constantly repeating a cycle as punishment for their past sins. In reality, the escape plan never came to fruition, and Weasel was killed by the other three on New Year's Eve, while the rest were given the death penalty weeks later. Having remembered the truth, Sal, Billy and Finn set out to kill Weasel once again. Two possible endings can occur: if Weasel is killed, the cycle repeats once again; if Weasel lives and the other three are killed, the cycle is broken, and he is finally freed of his punishment.\n" ]

He orders the construction of the Great Wall of China to bury and curse his dead enemies , eventually learning power over the traditional Chinese Wu Xing elements of fire , water , earth , wood and metal . Emperor Han soon grows fearful that his death will end all he has accomplished and summons Zi Yuan , a sorceress who is said to know the secret of immortality . She seemingly casts a spell on Han in Sanskrit , before he executes General Ming , his trusted friend and Zi Yuan 's secret lover . He stabs Zi Yuan with a dagger , but having foreseen this event , she immolates and imprisons the Emperor and his soldiers in clay , transforming his army into the Terracotta Army , and flees . In 1946 , Alex O'Connell , Rick and Evelyn O'Connell's son , and his archaeology professor Roger Wilson locate Han 's tomb . Though attacked by a mysterious woman , they succeed in bringing the coffin to Shanghai . Meanwhile , the British government entrusts the O'Connells to take the Eye of Shangri - La back to China . However , they learn that Wilson works for a rogue military faction led by General Yang , who had provided the financial backing of Alex 's expedition . Yang believes that Han is the one who can lead China out of the chaos following World War II and plans to resurrect the Emperor using the Eye , which contains the Elixir of Life . They open it , but it accidentally lands on the statue of the carriage driver , which is revealed to actually be Han 's mummified body . He accepts Yang 's service but kills Wilson and escapes . Along with Evelyn 's brother Jonathan Carnahan , the O'Connells and the mysterious woman , Lin , travel to a stupa in the Himalayas that will reveal the path to Shangri - La when the Eye is placed on top of it . With the help of Yetis summoned by Lin , the group hold off Yang 's soldiers but Han discovers Shangri - La 's location . Alex attempts to trigger an avalanche . Han throws a dagger at him , but Rick shoves Alex and is stabbed instead . Lin takes the group to Shangri - La , where Zi Yuan still lives and heals Rick 's wound . The group discovers that Lin is Zi Yuan 's daughter , both rendered immortal due to the power of Shangri - La 's waters . As Rick heals , Alex and Lin have grown attached to each other , but Lin refuses due to her immortality , unable to bear falling in love with Alex only to watch him grow old and die , just as Zi Yuan mourned for General Ming . Han and General Yang eventually arrive and attack them in Shangri - La , and Han bathes in the mystical waters , which restores his human form and youth , and gives him the ability to shapeshift . Transforming into a dragon , Han kidnaps Lin and flies back to the tomb , raising his Terracota Army , planning to cross the Great Wall , where they will be invincible . The O'Connells and Zi Yuan pursue Han to the Great Wall where she sacrifices her and Lin 's immortality to create an undead army from beneath The Great Wall , led by a revived General Ming . As Alex rescues Lin , Zi Yuan fights Han and is mortally wounded , but secures the dagger . Zi Yuan gives the dagger to the group before dying . Meanwhile , Han goes into the Great Wall to use his elemental powers to negate the undead spell . Rick and Alex fight off Han while Evelyn and Lin fight and kill Yang and Choi . Han gains the upper hand over Rick , but Rick and Alex manage to stab Han in his heart with the dagger , killing him and defeating the Terracotta Army . Ming 's army briefly celebrates before finally moving on to a peaceful afterlife . The O'Connells return to Shanghai while Jonathan decides to move to Peru with the Eye of Shangri - La , as he wants to go somewhere with no mummies . However , in postscript , it is revealed that upon his arrival , mummies were discovered in Peru .

'' In May 2004 , he expressed his doubts about having the energy to make a third film , though the cast of previous films had expressed interest in returning . In December 2005 , he reviewed a script written by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar was about a Chinese mummy ( China 's first emperor , who wants to take over the world with his army of accursed warriors in 1940 ) . The idea of The Emperor and his army is based on the real - life Qin emperor Qin Shi Huang , who was buried amidst thousands of crafted and fired terra cotta soldiers , called the Terracotta Army , dated at latest to 210 BC . ( Incidentally , the Terracotta Army is actually mentioned at the end of the novelization as something that will be discovered in the future , although its relation to The Emperor 's army , or rather how the destroyed army made it into the site , is left unexplained . ) Casting ( edit ) In March 2006 , actor Oded Fehr , who played Ardeth Bay in the first two films said Sommers had told him a third film was in development and being written , with only Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz 's characters returning . The following September , Universal Pictures offered director Joe Johnston the helm , instead of Jurassic World but Johnston declined . Later in the month , Weisz expressed interest in reprising her role . In January 2007 , Universal announced Sommers would not be attached to direct the third film . It was then announced that Universal entered talks with director Rob Cohen to take over directing duties . Later in the month , the story was revealed to center around Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz 's characters , as well as their adult son . Negotiations with the actors were in progress at that time . In February , casting began for the role of Alex O'Connell . Additionally , John Hannah reprised his role as Jonathan . Also in that month , Cohen mentioned that Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh would star in the film although the official confirmation was n't published until May . In April , Brendan Fraser re-joined the cast for the film . Weisz did not , citing `` problems with the script '' in addition to having just given birth to her son . The film was shot in Montreal and China . The film was originally reported to be titled The Mummy 3 : Curse of the Dragon . In April , Luke Ford was cast as Alex O'Connell , replacing Freddie Boath in the role and in May , Maria Bello was cast to replace Weisz in the role of Evelyn . Bello commented during an interview that the new `` Evy '' is different from the original `` Evy '' . `` She has the same name , but she is quite a different character , '' said Bello . At a news conference in Shanghai , Bello told the audience that Rob Cohen has `` created a new Evelyn . In the first two Mummy movies she was all actiony and lovely , but this Evelyn might be a little more ... forceful in terms of her martial art skills and shooting skills '' . Filming ( edit ) Principal photography started at Montreal 's Mel 's Cite du Cinema . There , the Eye of Shangri - la scenes were shot by production designer Nigel Phelps . The team then shot on the courtyard set of gateway to Shangri - la . The courtyard was dressed with fake snow , created by effects supervisor Bruce Steinheimer 's team . At the city 's ADF stage , Phelps 's team created sets of the Terra Cotta mausoleum . Set decorator Anne Kuljian designed 20 different statue heads that were sculpted by 3D Arts team and interchanged between shots . One soldier and horse statue was bought from China , and copies of it as well as `` The Dragon Emperor '' were made ( Jet Li 's statue was sculpted by Lucie Fournier , Tino Petronzio , and Nick Petronzio in a workshop in Montreal ) . Propmaster Kim Wai Chung supervised the making of the horses ' bridles and mausoleum ornaments in China . Meanwhile , at Mel 's , the brutal battle between the Emperor and Rick was filmed , the first scene shot with Jet Li . On October 15 , 2007 , the team moved to China . At Shanghai Studios , a set depicting the city in the 1940s was used for the chase sequence and was shot in three weeks . General Yang 's camp was filmed in a Ming village near Tian Mo . At the studio , Chinese cultural advisers aided Cohen in depicting the Qin Dynasty language and ceremonies . The O'Connell family 's drama scenes were shot in an Egyptian - themed nightclub suitably named `` Imhotep 's '' . The crew frequently had to halt in and near Shanghai when soldiers marched . The desert battlefield 's setting was actually a training facility for the Chinese army that was leased . Effects ( edit ) The visual effects were done by two Los Angeles - based VFX houses . Rhythm and Hues Studios designed the Yetis and dragons , while Digital Domain handled the battle scenes with the Emperor 's terracotta warriors . The pool of water resembling diamonds took Rhythm and Hues eleven months to complete . The A.I. software Massive , used for the Lord of the Rings films , was used to create the undead battle scenes . Design company Imaginary Forces created the opening title sequence and end titles . IF designers also shot real paint splatters and brushstrokes . To portray an `` accurate and historic China , '' they turned to calligrapher T.Z. Yuan for ink brush writing . Music ( edit ) This section needs additional citations for verification .

Box Office performance ( edit ) The film premiered in Moscow on July 24 , 2008 and had a wide release of 3,760 theatres in North America on August 1 , 2008 . The film was the top - grossing film the day it opened , earning $15.2 million ( The Dark Knight was in second place with $12 million ) on Friday . However , the film did not become number one overall in the box office on opening weekend , claiming only $40.4 million , which allowed The Dark Knight to claim the top spot for the third consecutive week with $42.6 million . The film however scored a bigger success at the international box office where it opened at the first position in 26 of the 28 released markets over the weekend and grossed over $59.5 million in the three - day period . It substantially outpaced comparable openings for The Mummy ( $16.7 million ) and The Mummy Returns ( $21.5 million ) in the same markets . The film also set opening records for the distributor in Korea ( drawing $13.3 million ) , Russia ( $12.7 million ) , Spain ( $6.7 million ) , and Thailand .

Critical reception ( edit ) On Rotten Tomatoes , the film has an approval rating of 12 % based on 172 reviews and an average rating of 3.7 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` With middling CG effects and a distinct lack of fun , The Mummy : Tomb of the Dragon Emperor finds the series past its prime . '' On Metacritic , the film has a score of 31 out of 100 based on 33 critics , indicating `` generally unfavorable reviews '' . Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` B -- '' on an A+ to F scale . Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun - Times gave the film a positive review , awarding it three out of four stars . Ebert remarked , `` Now why did I like this movie ? It was just plain dumb fun , is why . '' Ebert also stated that it is the best in the series . Nathan Rabin of The Onion 's A.V. Club stated that the film `` succeeds largely through sheer excess '' , albeit within a context that `` plods along mechanically through its first hour . '' William Arnold of Seattle Post-Intelligencer gave a mildly positive review , saying that `` anyone in the market for an overblown and totally mindless adventure - comedy will certainly get his money 's worth . '' Dallas movie reviewer Casey C. Corpier said that the film was almost as enjoyable as the original and liked the fact that it delivered what it advertised . Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times said the film `` has some good things ( but ) does not have enough of them to make the third time the charm . '' Ken Fox of TV Guide called the film `` passable popcorn fare . '' Jennie Punter of The Globe and Mail said the film is `` kind of fun , but the twists and turns are all too familiar . '' Michael Sragow of the Baltimore Sun said the film is `` like an Indiana Jones movie without rhythm , wit or personality , just a desperate , headlong pace .

'' ) that usually indicates an intentional omission of a word , sentence , or whole section from a text without altering its original meaning .

Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( December 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Depending on their context and placement in a sentence , ellipses can indicate an unfinished thought , a leading statement , a slight pause , an echoing voice , or a nervous or awkward silence . Aposiopesis is the use of an ellipsis to trail off into silence -- for example : `` But I thought he was ... '' When placed at the beginning or end of a sentence , the ellipsis can also inspire a feeling of melancholy or longing . The most common form of an ellipsis is a row of three periods or full stops ( ... ) or a precomposed triple - dot glyph ( ... ) . The usage of the em dash ( -- ) can overlap the usage of the ellipsis , especially in dialogue . Style guides often have their own rules governing the use of ellipses . For example , The Chicago Manual of Style recommends that an ellipsis be formed by typing three periods , each with a space on both sides ( ... ) . Whether or not an ellipsis at the end of a sentence needs a fourth dot to finish the sentence is a matter of debate ; for example , Chicago advises it , but the OxfordWords blog has suggested that a full stop is considered to be paradoxical to an ellipsis used to indicate an incomplete thought , so it is omitted . The triple - dot punctuation mark is also called a suspension point , points of ellipsis , periods of ellipsis , or colloquially , `` dot - dot - dot '' . In writing ( edit ) In her book on the ellipsis , Ellipsis in English Literature : Signs of Omission ( Cambridge University Press , 2015 ) , Anne Toner suggests that the first use of the punctuation in the English language dates to a 1588 translation of Terence 's Andria , by Maurice Kyffin . In this case , however , the ellipsis consists not of dots but of short dashes . `` Subpuncting '' of medieval manuscripts also denotes omitted meaning and may be related . In the 19th and early 20th centuries , an ellipsis was often used when a writer intentionally omitted a specific proper noun , such as a location : `` Jan was born on ... Street in Warsaw . '' As commonly used , this juxtaposition of characters is referred to as `` dots of ellipsis '' in the English language . Occasionally , it would be used in pulp fiction and other works of early 20th - century fiction to denote expletives that would otherwise have been censored . An ellipsis may also imply an unstated alternative indicated by context . For example , when Sue says `` I never drink wine ... `` , the implication is that she does drink something else -- such as vodka . In reported speech , the ellipsis can be used to represent an intentional silence . In poetry , an ellipsis is used as a thought - pause or line break at the caesura or this is used to highlight sarcasm or make the reader think about the last points in the poem . In news reporting , often associated with brackets , it is used to indicate that a quotation has been condensed for space , brevity or relevance . Herb Caen , Pulitzer - prize - winning columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle , became famous for his `` three - dot journalism '' . In different languages ( edit ) In american English ( edit ) The Chicago Manual of Style suggests the use of an ellipsis for any omitted word , phrase , line , or paragraph from within but not at the end of a quoted passage . There are two commonly used methods of using ellipses : one uses three dots for any omission , while the second one makes a distinction between omissions within a sentence ( using three dots : ... ) and omissions between sentences ( using a period and a space followed by three dots : ... ) . The Modern Language Association ( MLA ) used to indicate that an ellipsis must include spaces before and after each dot in all uses . If an ellipsis is meant to represent an omission , square brackets must surround the ellipsis to make it clear that there was no pause in the original quote : ( ... ) . Currently , the MLA has removed the requirement of brackets in its style handbooks . However , some maintain that the use of brackets is still correct because it clears confusion . The MLA now indicates that a three - dot , spaced ellipsis ( ... ) should be used for removing material from within one sentence within a quote . When crossing sentences ( when the omitted text contains a period , so that omitting the end of a sentence counts ) , a four - dot , spaced ( except for before the first dot ) ellipsis ( ... ) should be used . When ellipsis points are used in the original text , ellipsis points that are not in the original text should be distinguished by enclosing them in square brackets ( e.g. `` text ( ... ) text '' ) . According to the Associated Press , the ellipsis should be used to condense quotations . It is less commonly used to indicate a pause in speech or an unfinished thought or to separate items in material such as show business gossip . The stylebook indicates that if the shortened sentence before the mark can stand as a sentence , it should do so , with an ellipsis placed after the period or other ending punctuation . When material is omitted at the end of a paragraph and also immediately following it , an ellipsis goes both at the end of that paragraph and at the beginning of the next , according to this style . According to Robert Bringhurst 's Elements of Typographic Style , the details of typesetting ellipses depend on the character and size of the font being set and the typographer 's preference . Bringhurst writes that a full space between each dot is `` another Victorian eccentricity . In most contexts , the Chicago ellipsis is much too wide '' -- he recommends using flush dots , or thin - spaced dots ( up to one - fifth of an em ) , or the prefabricated ellipsis character ( U + 2026 ... HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS ( HTML & # 8230 ; &hellip ; ) . Bringhurst suggests that normally an ellipsis should be spaced fore - and - aft to separate it from the text , but when it combines with other punctuation , the leading space disappears and the other punctuation follows . This is the usual practice in typesetting . He provides the following examples : i ... j k ... . l ... , l l , ... l m ... ? n ... ! In legal writing in the United States , Rule 5.3 in the Bluebook citation guide governs the use of ellipses and requires a space before the first dot and between the two subsequent dots . If an ellipsis ends the sentence , then there are three dots , each separated by a space , followed by the final punctuation ( e.g. Hah ... ? ) . In some legal writing , an ellipsis is written as three asterisks ( * * * or * * * ) to make it obvious that text has been omitted . ( ... ) is also used for awkward silence . In british English ( edit ) The Oxford Style Guide recommends setting the ellipsis as a single character ( ... ) or as a series of three ( narrow ) spaced dots ( ... ) , and surrounding it by spaces . If there is an ellipsis at the end of an incomplete sentence , the final full stop is omitted . However , it is retained if the following ellipsis represents an omission between two complete sentences . The ... fox jumped ... The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. ... And if they have not died , they are still alive today . Contrary to The Oxford Style Guide , the University of Oxford Style Guide demands an ellipsis not to be surrounded by spaces , except when it stands for a pause ; then , a space has to be set after the ellipsis ( but not before ) . An ellipsis is never preceded or followed by a full stop . The ... fox jumped ... The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog ... And if they have not died , they are still alive today . It is not cold ... it is freezing cold . In Polish ( edit ) When applied in Polish language syntax , the ellipsis is called wielokropek , which means `` multidot '' . The word wielokropek distinguishes the ellipsis of Polish syntax from that of mathematical notation , in which it is known as an elipsa . When an ellipsis replaces a fragment omitted from a quotation , the ellipsis is enclosed in parentheses or square brackets . An unbracketed ellipsis indicates an interruption or pause in speech . The syntactical rules for ellipses are standardized by the 1983 Polska Norma document PN - 83 / P - 55366 , Zasady składania tekstów w języku polskim ( `` Rules for setting texts in the Polish Language '' ) . In Russian ( edit ) The combination `` ellipsis + period '' is replaced by the ellipsis . The combinations `` ellipsis + exclamation mark '' and `` ellipsis + question mark '' are written in this way : ! ... ? ... In Japanese ( edit ) The most common character corresponding to an ellipsis is called 3 - ten rīdā ( `` 3 - dot leaders '' , ... ) . 2 - ten rīdā exists as a character , but it is used less commonly . In writing , the ellipsis consists usually of six dots ( two 3 - ten rīdā characters , ... ... ) . Three dots ( one 3 - ten rīdā character ) may be used where space is limited , such as in a header . However , variations in the number of dots exist . In horizontally written text the dots are commonly vertically centered within the text height ( between the baseline and the ascent line ) , as in the standard Japanese Windows fonts ; in vertically written text the dots are always centered horizontally . As the Japanese word for dot is pronounced `` ten '' , the dots are colloquially called `` ten - ten - ten '' ( てん てんてん , akin to the English `` dot dot dot '' ) . In manga , the ellipsis by itself represents speechlessness , or a `` pregnant pause '' . Depending on the context , this could be anything from an admission of guilt to an expression of being dumbfounded at another person 's words or actions . As a device , the ten - ten - ten is intended to focus the reader on a character while allowing the character to not speak any dialogue . This conveys to the reader a focus of the narrative `` camera '' on the silent subject , implying an expectation of some motion or action . It is not unheard of to see inanimate objects `` speaking '' the ellipsis . In Chinese ( edit ) In Chinese , the ellipsis is six dots ( in two groups of three dots , occupying the same horizontal or vertical space as two characters ) ( i.e. ... ... ) . In Spanish ( edit ) In Spanish , ellipsis is commonly used as a substitute of et cetera at the end of unfinished lists . So it means `` and so forth '' or `` and other things '' . Other use is the suspension of a part of a text , or a paragraph , or a phrase or a part of a word because it is obvious , or unnecessary , or implied . For instance , sometimes the ellipsis is used to avoid the complete use of expletives . When the ellipse is placed alone into a parenthesis ( ... ) or -- less often -- between brackets ( ... ) , which is what happens usually within a text transcription , it means the original text had more contents on the same position but are not useful to our target in the transcription . When the suppressed text is at the beginning or at the end of a text , the ellipse does not need to be placed in a parenthesis . In French ( edit ) In French , the ellipsis is commonly used at the end of lists to represent et cetera . In French typography , the ellipsis is written close up to the preceding word but has a space after it , for example : comme ça ... pas comme ceci . If , exceptionally , it begins a sentence , there is a space before and after , for example : Lui ? ... vaut rien , je crois ... . However , any omitted word , phrase or line at the end of a quoted passage would be indicated like this : ( ... ) ( space before and after the square brackets but not inside ) , for example : ... à Paris , Nice , Nantes , Toulouse ( ... ) . In German ( edit ) In German , the ellipsis in general is surrounded by spaces , if it stands for one or more omitted words . On the other side there is no space between a letter or ( part of ) a word and an ellipsis , if it stands for one or more omitted letters , that should stick to the written letter or letters . Example for both cases , using German style : The first el ... is stands for omitted letters , the second ... for an omitted word . If the ellipsis is at the end of a sentence , the final full stop is omitted . Example : I think that ... A drop - down menu of file operations Usage in menus ( edit ) In computer menu functions or buttons , an appended ellipsis means that on selection another dialog will follow , where the user can or must make a choice . If the ellipse is missing , the function is already executed on selection . `` Save '' - the file will be overwritten without further input . `` Save as ... '' - in the following dialog , you can , for example , select another location or file name or other file format . In mathematical notation ( edit ) An ellipsis is also often used in mathematics to mean `` and so forth '' . In a list , between commas , or following a comma , a normal ellipsis is used , as in : 1 , 2 , 3 , ... , 100 ( \ displaystyle 1 , 2 , 3 , \ ldots , 100 ) or to mean an infinite list , as : 1 , 2 , 3 , ... ( \ displaystyle 1 , 2 , 3 , \ ldots ) To indicate the omission of values in a repeated operation , an ellipsis raised to the center of the line is used between two operation symbols or following the last operation symbol , as in : 1 + 2 + 3 + ⋯ + 100 ( \ displaystyle 1 + 2 + 3 + \ cdots + 100 ) Sometimes , e.g. in Russian mathematical texts , normal , non-raised , ellipses are used even in repeated summations . The latter formula means the sum of all natural numbers from 1 to 100 . However , it is not a formally defined mathematical symbol . Repeated summations or products may similarly be denoted using capital sigma and capital pi notation , respectively : 1 + 2 + 3 + ⋯ + 100 = ∑ n = 1 100 n ( \ displaystyle 1 + 2 + 3 + \ cdots + 100 \ = \ sum _ ( n = 1 ) ^ ( 100 ) n ) 1 × 2 × 3 × ⋯ × 100 = ∏ n = 1 100 n = 100 ! ( \ displaystyle 1 \ times 2 \ times 3 \ times \ cdots \ times 100 \ = \ prod _ ( n = 1 ) ^ ( 100 ) n = 100 ! ) ( see factorial ) Normally dots should be used only where the pattern to be followed is clear , the exception being to show the indefinite continuation of an irrational number such as : π = 3.14159265 ... ( \ displaystyle \ pi = 3.14159265 \ ldots ) Sometimes , it is useful to display a formula compactly , for example : 1 + 4 + 9 + ⋯ + n 2 + ⋯ + 400 ( \ displaystyle 1 + 4 + 9 + \ cdots + n ^ ( 2 ) + \ cdots + 400 ) Another example is the set of zeros of the cosine function : ( ± π 2 , ± 3 π 2 , ± 5 π 2 , ... ) ( \ displaystyle \ left \ ( \ pm ( \ frac ( \ pi ) ( 2 ) ) , \ pm ( \ frac ( 3 \ pi ) ( 2 ) ) , \ pm ( \ frac ( 5 \ pi ) ( 2 ) ) , \ ldots \ right \ ) ) There are many related uses of the ellipsis in set notation . The diagonal and vertical forms of the ellipsis are particularly useful for showing missing terms in matrices , such as the size - n identity matrix : I n = ( 1 0 ⋯ 0 0 1 ⋯ 0 ⋮ ⋮ ⋱ ⋮ 0 0 ⋯ 1 ) ( \ displaystyle I_ ( n ) = ( \ begin ( bmatrix ) 1&0& \ cdots &0 \ \ 0&1& \ cdots &0 \ \ \ vdots & \ vdots & \ ddots & \ vdots \ \ 0&0& \ cdots &1 \ end ( bmatrix ) ) ) The use of ellipses in mathematical proofs is often discouraged because of the potential for ambiguity . For this reason , and because the ellipsis supports no systematic rules for symbolic calculation , in recent years some authors have recommended avoiding its use in mathematics altogether . Programming languages ( edit ) A two - or three - dot ellipsis is used as an operator in some programming languages . The precise meaning varies by language , but it generally involves something dealing with multiple items . One of its most common uses is in defining ranges or sequences . This is used in many languages , including Pascal , Modula , Oberon , Ada , Haskell , Perl , Python , Ruby , Bash shell and F# . It is also used to indicate so called variadic functions in the C , C++ and Java languages . See Ellipsis ( programming operator ) . HTML and CSS ( edit ) The CSS text - overflow property can be set to ellipsis , which cuts off text with an ellipsis when it overflows the content area . On the Internet and in text messaging ( edit ) The ellipsis is a non-verbal cue that is often used in computer - mediated interactions , in particular in synchronous genres , such as chat . The reason behind its popularity is the fact that it allows people to indicate in writing several functions : The sign of ellipsis can function as a floor holding device , and signal that more is to come , for instance when people break up longer turns in chat . Dot - dot - dot can be used systematically to enact linguistic politeness , for instance indicating topic change or hesitation . Suspension dots can be turn construction units to signal silence , for example when indicating disagreement , disapproval or confusion . Although an ellipsis is technically complete with three periods ( ... ) , its rise in popularity as a `` trailing - off '' or `` silence '' indicator , particularly in mid-20th - century comic strip and comic book prose writing , has led to expanded uses online . Today , extended ellipsis anywhere from two to dozens of periods have become common constructions in Internet chat rooms and text messages . The extent of repetition in itself might serve as an additional contextualization or paralinguistic cue , to `` extend the lexical meaning of the words , add character to the sentences , and allow fine - tuning and personalisation of the message '' . Computer representations ( edit ) In computing , several ellipsis characters have been codified , depending on the system used . In the Unicode standard , there are the following characters : Name Character Unicode UTF - 8 HTML entity name or Numeric character reference Use Horizontal ellipsis ... U + 2026 0xE2 0x80 0xA6 &hellip ; General Laotian ellipsis ຯ U + 0EAF 0xE0 0xBA 0xAF & # x0EAF ; General Mongolian ellipsis ᠁ U + 1801 0xE1 0xA0 0x81 & # x1801 ; General Thai ellipsis ฯ U + 0E2F 0xE0 0xB8 0xAF & # x0E2F ; General Vertical ellipsis ⋮ U + 22EE 0xE2 0x8B 0xAE &vellip ; Mathematics Midline horizontal ellipsis ⋯ U + 22EF 0xE2 0x8B 0xAF & # x22EF ; Mathematics Up - right diagonal ellipsis ⋰ U + 22F0 0xE2 0x8B 0xB0 & # x22F0 ; Mathematics Down - right diagonal ellipsis ⋱ U + 22F1 0xE2 0x8B 0xB1 & # x22F1 ; Mathematics Presentation form for vertical horizontal ellipsis ... U + FE19 0xEF 0xB8 0x99 & # xFE19 ; Vertical form In Windows , it can be inserted with Alt + 0 1 3 3 . In OS X , it can be inserted with ⌥ Opt + ; ( on an English language keyboard ) . In some Linux distributions , it can be inserted with AltGr + . , or alternatively Compose ... sequence can be used . In Chinese and sometimes in Japanese , ellipsis characters are made by entering two consecutive horizontal ellipsis ( U + 2026 ) . In vertical texts , the application should rotate the symbol accordingly . Unicode recognizes a series of three period characters ( U + 002E ) as compatibility equivalent ( though not canonical ) to the horizontal ellipsis character . In HTML , the horizontal ellipsis character may be represented by the entity reference &hellip ; ( since HTML 4.0 ) , and the vertical ellipsis character by the entity reference &vellip ; ( since HTML 5.0 ) . Alternatively , in HTML , XML , and SGML , a numeric character reference such as & # x2026 ; or & # 8230 ; can be used . In the TeX typesetting system , the following types of ellipsis are available : Name Glyph TeX markup Lower ellipsis ... ( \ displaystyle \ ldots ) \ ldots Centred ellipsis ⋯ ( \ displaystyle \ cdots ) \ cdots Diagonal ellipsis ⋱ ( \ displaystyle \ ddots ) \ ddots Vertical ellipsis ⋮ ( \ displaystyle \ vdots ) \ vdots In LaTeX , note that the reverse orientation of \ ddots can be achieved with \ reflectbox provided by the graphicx package : \ reflectbox ( \ ddots ) yields . With the amsmath package from AMS - LaTeX , more specific ellipses are provided for math mode .

As with all characters , especially those outside the ASCII range , the author , sender and receiver of an encoded ellipsis must be in agreement upon what bytes are being used to represent the character . Naive text processing software may improperly assume that a particular encoding is being used , resulting in mojibake . The Chicago Style Q&A recommends to avoid the use of ... ( U + 2026 ) character in manuscripts and to place three periods plus two nonbreaking spaces ( ... ) instead , so that an editor , publisher , or designer can replace them later . In Abstract Syntax Notation One ( ASN. 1 ) , the ellipsis is used as an extension marker to indicate the possibility of type extensions in future revisions of a protocol specification . In a type constraint expression like A : : = INTEGER ( 0 ... 127 , ... , 256 ... 511 ) an ellipsis is used to separate the extension root from extension additions . The definition of type A in version 1 system of the form A : : = INTEGER ( 0 ... 127 , ... ) and the definition of type A in version 2 system of the form A : : = INTEGER ( 0 ... 127 , ... , 256 ... 511 ) constitute an extension series of the same type A in different versions of the same specification . The ellipsis can also be used in compound type definitions to separate the set of fields belonging to the extension root from the set of fields constituting extension additions . Here is an example : B : : = SEQUENCE ( a INTEGER , b INTEGER , ... , c INTEGER ) See also ( edit ) Caesura Cohesion ( linguistics ) Elision -- Omission or deletion of a sound or syllable Leader ( typography ) -- A row of characters ( usually dots or dashes ) to connect items across a page ( as in a table of contents ) Leiden Conventions Line break ( poetry ) References ( edit ) Jump up ^ `` ellipsis '' .

what are the dots after a sentence called
[ "The most common form of an ellipsis is a row of three periods or full stops (...) or a precomposed triple-dot glyph (…). The usage of the em dash (—) can overlap the usage of the ellipsis, especially in dialogue. Style guides often have their own rules governing the use of ellipses. For example, The Chicago Manual of Style recommends that an ellipsis be formed by typing three periods, each with a space on both sides ( . . . ). Whether or not an ellipsis at the end of a sentence needs a fourth dot to finish the sentence is a matter of debate; for example, Chicago advises it, but the OxfordWords blog has suggested that a full stop is considered to be paradoxical to an ellipsis used to indicate an incomplete thought, so it is omitted.[2][3]" ]

( 1940 -- 2008 ) Faith Roselle Julian ( 1944 -- ) Parent ( s ) Elizabeth Lena Adams ( 1878 -- 1926 ) James Sumner Julian ( 1871 -- 1951 ) Percy Lavon Julian ( April 11 , 1899 -- April 19 , 1975 ) was an African American research chemist and a pioneer in the chemical synthesis of medicinal drugs from plants . He was the first to synthesize the natural product physostigmine , and a pioneer in the industrial large - scale chemical synthesis of the human hormones progesterone and testosterone from plant sterols such as stigmasterol and sitosterol . His work laid the foundation for the steroid drug industry 's production of cortisone , other corticosteroids , and birth control pills . He later started his own company to synthesize steroid intermediates from the wild Mexican yam . His work helped greatly reduce the cost of steroid intermediates to large multinational pharmaceutical companies , helping to significantly expand the use of several important drugs . Julian received more than 130 chemical patents . He was one of the first African Americans to receive a doctorate in chemistry . He was the first African - American chemist inducted into the National Academy of Sciences , and the second African - American scientist inducted ( behind David Blackwell ) from any field .

Both of his parents were graduates of what was to be Alabama State University . His father , James , whose own father had been a slave , was employed as a clerk in the Railway Service of the United States Post Office , while his mother , Elizabeth , worked as a schoolteacher . Percy Julian grew up in the time of racist Jim Crow culture and legal regime in the southern United States . Among his childhood memories was finding a lynched man hanged from a tree while walking in the woods near his home . At a time when access to an education beyond the eighth grade was extremely rare for African - Americans , Julian 's parents steered all of their children toward higher education . Julian attended DePauw University in Greencastle , Indiana . The college accepted few African - American students . The segregated nature of the town forced social humiliations . Julian was not allowed to live in the college dormitories and first stayed in an off - campus boarding home , which refused to serve him meals . It took him days before Julian found an establishment where he could eat . He later found work firing the furnace , waiting tables , and doing other odd jobs in a fraternity house ; in return , he was allowed to sleep in the attic and eat at the house . Julian graduated from DePauw in 1920 as a Phi Beta Kappa and valedictorian . By 1930 Julian 's father would move the entire family to Greencastle so that all his children could attend college at DePauw . He still worked as a railroad postal clerk . After graduating from DePauw , Julian wanted to obtain his doctorate in chemistry , but learned it would be difficult for an African - American to do so . Instead he obtained a position as a chemistry instructor at Fisk University . In 1923 he received an Austin Fellowship in Chemistry , which allowed him to attend Harvard University to obtain his M.S. However , worried that white students would resent being taught by an African - American , Harvard withdrew Julian 's teaching assistantship , making it impossible for him to complete his Ph. D. at Harvard . In 1929 , while an instructor at Howard University , Julian received a Rockefeller Foundation fellowship to continue his graduate work at the University of Vienna , where he earned his Ph. D. in 1931 . He studied under Ernst Späth and was considered an impressive student . In Europe , he found freedom from the racial prejudices that had stifled him in the States . He freely participated in intellectual social gatherings , went to the opera and found greater acceptance among his peers . Julian was one of the first African Americans to receive a Ph. D. in chemistry , after St. Elmo Brady and Dr. Edward M.A. Chandler . After returning from Vienna , Julian taught for one year at Howard University . At Howard , in part due to his position as a department head , Julian became caught up in university politics , setting off an embarrassing chain of events . At university president Mordecai Wyatt Johnson 's request , he goaded white Professor of chemistry , Jacob Shohan ( Ph. D from Harvard ) , into resigning . In late May 1932 , Shohan retaliated by releasing to the local African - American newspaper the letters Julian had written to him from Vienna . The letters described `` a variety of subjects from wine , pretty Viennese women , music and dances , to chemical experiments and plans for the new chemical building . '' In the letters , he spoke with familiarity , and with some derision , of specific members of the Howard University faculty , terming one well - known Dean , an `` ass '' . Around this same time , Julian also became entangled in an interpersonal conflict with his laboratory assistant , Robert Thompson . Julian had recommended Thompson for dismissal in March 1932 . Thompson sued Julian for `` alienating the affections of his wife '' , Anna Roselle Thompson , stating he had seen them together in a sexual tryst . Julian counter-sued him for libel . When Thompson was fired , he too gave the paper intimate and personal letters which Julian had written to him from Vienna . Dr. Julian 's letters revealed `` how he fooled the ( Howard ) president into accepting his plans for the chemistry building '' and `` how he bluffed his good friend into appointing '' a professor of Julian 's liking . Through the summer of 1932 , the Baltimore Afro - American published all of Julian 's letters . Eventually , the scandal and accompanying pressure forced Julian to resign . He lost his position and everything he had worked for . Some happiness for Dr. Julian , however , was to come from this scandal . On December 24 , 1935 he married Anna Roselle ( Ph. D. in Sociology , 1937 , University of Pennsylvania ) . They had two children : Percy Lavon Julian , Jr . ( August 31 , 1940 -- February 24 , 2008 ) , who became a noted civil rights lawyer in Madison , Wisconsin ; and Faith Roselle Julian ( 1944 -- ) , who still resides in their Oak Park home and often makes inspirational speeches about her father and his contributions to science . At the lowest point in Julian 's career , his former mentor , William Blanchard , threw him a much - needed lifeline . Blanchard offered Julian a position to teach organic chemistry at DePauw University in 1932 . Julian then helped Josef Pikl , a fellow student at the University of Vienna , to come to the United States to work with him at DePauw . In 1935 Julian and Pikl completed the total synthesis of physostigmine and confirmed the structural formula assigned to it . Robert Robinson of Oxford University in the U.K. had been the first to publish a synthesis of physostigmine , but Julian noticed that the melting point of Robinson 's end product was wrong , indicating that he had not created it . When Julian completed his synthesis , the melting point matched the correct one for natural physostigmine from the calabar bean . Julian also extracted stigmasterol , which took its name from Physostigma venenosum , the west African calabar bean that he hoped could serve as raw material for synthesis of human steroidal hormones . At about this time , in 1934 , Butenandt and Fernholz , in Germany , had shown that stigmasterol , isolated from soybean oil , could be converted to progesterone by synthetic organic chemistry . Private sector work : Glidden ( edit ) In 1936 Julian was denied a professorship at DePauw for racial reasons . DuPont had offered a job to fellow chemist Josef Pikl but declined to hire Julian , despite his superlative qualifications as an organic chemist , apologizing that they were `` unaware he was a Negro '' . Julian next applied for a job at the Institute of Paper Chemistry ( IPC ) in Appleton , Wisconsin . However , Appleton was a sundown town , forbidding African Americans from staying overnight , stating directly : `` No Negro should be bed or boarded overnight in Appleton . '' Meanwhile , Julian had written to the Glidden Company , a supplier of soybean oil products , to request a five - gallon sample of the oil to use as his starting point for the synthesis of human steroidal sex hormones ( in part because his wife was suffering from infertility ) . After receiving the request , W.J. O'Brien , a vice-president at Glidden , made a telephone call to Julian , offering him the position of director of research at Glidden 's Soya Products Division in Chicago . He was very likely offered the job by O'Brien because he was fluent in German , and Glidden had just purchased a modern continuous countercurrent solvent extraction plant from Germany for the extraction of vegetable oil from soybeans for paints and other uses . Julian supervised the assembly of the plant at Glidden when he arrived in 1936 . He then designed and supervised construction of the world 's first plant for the production of industrial - grade , isolated soy protein from oil - free soybean meal . Isolated soy protein could replace the more expensive milk casein in industrial applications such as coating and sizing of paper , glue for making Douglas fir plywood , and in the manufacture of water - based paints . At the start of World War II , Glidden sent a sample of Julian 's isolated soy protein to National Foam System Inc. ( today a unit of Kidde Fire Fighting ) , which used it to develop Aer - O - Foam , the U.S. Navy 's beloved fire - fighting `` bean soup . '' While it was not exactly Julian 's brainchild , his meticulous care in the preparation of the soy protein made the fire fighting foam possible . When a hydrolyzate of isolated soy protein was fed into a water stream , the mixture was converted into a foam by means of an aerating nozzle . The soy protein foam was used to smother oil and gasoline fires aboard ships and was particularly useful on aircraft carriers . It saved the lives of thousands of sailors and airmen . Citing this achievement , in 1947 the NAACP awarded Julian the Spingarn Medal , its highest honor . Steroids ( edit ) Julian 's research at Glidden changed direction in 1940 when he began work on synthesizing progesterone , estrogen , and testosterone from the plant sterols stigmasterol and sitosterol , isolated from soybean oil by a foam technique he invented and patented . At that time clinicians were discovering many uses for the newly discovered hormones . However , only minute quantities could be extracted from hundreds of pounds of the spinal cords of animals . In 1940 Julian was able to produce 100 lb of mixed soy sterols daily , which had a value of $10,000 ( $82,000 today ) as sex hormones . Julian was soon ozonizing 100 pounds daily of mixed sterol dibromides . The soy stigmasterol was easily converted into commercial quantities of the female hormone progesterone , and the first pound of progesterone he made , valued at $63,500 ( $520,000 today ) , was shipped to the buyer , Upjohn , in an armored car . Production of other sex hormones soon followed . His work made possible the production of these hormones on a larger industrial scale , with the potential of reducing the cost of treating hormonal deficiencies . Julian and his co-workers obtained patents for Glidden on key processes for the preparation of progesterone and testosterone from soybean plant sterols . Product patents held by a former cartel of European pharmaceutical companies had prevented a significant reduction in wholesale and retail prices for clinical use of these hormones in the 1940s . He saved many lives with this discovery . On April 13 , 1949 , rheumatologist Philip Hench at the Mayo Clinic announced the dramatic effectiveness of cortisone in treating rheumatoid arthritis . The cortisone was produced by Merck at great expense using a complex 36 - step synthesis developed by chemist Lewis Sarett , starting with deoxycholic acid from cattle bile acids . On September 30 , 1949 , Julian announced an improvement in the process of producing cortisone . This eliminated the need to use osmium tetroxide , which was a rare and expensive chemical . By 1950 , Glidden could begin producing closely related compounds which might have partial cortisone activity . Julian also announced the synthesis , starting with the cheap and readily available pregnenolone ( synthesized from the soybean oil sterol stigmasterol ) of the steroid cortexolone ( also known as Reichstein 's Substance S ) , a molecule that differed from cortisone by a single missing oxygen atom ; and possibly 17α - hydroxyprogesterone and pregnenetriolone , which he hoped might also be effective in treating rheumatoid arthritis , but unfortunately they were not . On April 5 , 1952 , biochemist Durey Peterson and microbiologist Herbert Murray at Upjohn published the first report of a fermentation process for the microbial 11α - oxygenation of steroids in a single step ( by common molds of the order Mucorales ) . Their fermentation process could produce 11α - hydroxyprogesterone or 11α - hydroxycortisone from progesterone or Compound S , respectively , which could then by further chemical steps be converted to cortisone or 11β - hydroxycortisone ( cortisol ) . After two years , Glidden abandoned production of cortisone to concentrate on Substance S. Julian developed a multistep process for conversion of pregnenolone , available in abundance from soybean oil sterols , to cortexolone . In 1952 , Glidden , which had been producing progesterone and other steroids from soybean oil , shut down its own production and began importing them from Mexico through an arrangement with Diosynth ( a small Mexican company founded in 1947 by Russell Marker after leaving Syntex ) . Glidden 's cost of production of cortexolone was relatively high , so Upjohn decided to use progesterone , available in large quantity at low cost from Syntex , to produce cortisone and hydrocortisone . In 1953 , Glidden decided to leave the steroid business , which had been relatively unprofitable over the years despite Julian 's innovative work . On December 1 , 1953 , Julian left Glidden after 18 years , giving up a salary of nearly $50,000 a year ( equivalent to $460,000 in 2017 ) to found his own company , Julian Laboratories , Inc. , taking over the small , concrete - block building of Suburban Chemical Company in Franklin Park , Illinois . On December 2 , 1953 , Pfizer acquired exclusive licenses of Glidden patents for the synthesis of Substance S. Pfizer had developed a fermentation process for microbial 11β - oxygenation of steroids in a single step that could convert Substance S directly to 11β - hydrocortisone ( cortisol ) , with Syntex undertaking large - scale production of cortexolone at very low cost . Oak Park and Julian Laboratories ( edit ) Circa 1950 , Julian moved his family to the Chicago suburb of Oak Park , becoming the first African - American family to reside there . Although some residents welcomed them into the community , there was also opposition . Before they even moved in , on Thanksgiving Day , 1950 , their home was fire - bombed . Later , after they moved in , the house was attacked with dynamite on June 12 , 1951 . The attacks galvanized the community , and a community group was formed to support the Julians . Julian 's son later recounted that during these times , he and his father often kept watch over the family 's property by sitting in a tree with a shotgun . In 1953 , Julian founded his own research firm , Julian Laboratories , Inc . He brought many of his best chemists , including African - Americans and women , from Glidden to his own company . Julian won a contract to provide Upjohn with $2 million worth of progesterone ( equivalent to $16 million today ) . To compete against Syntex , he would have to use the same Mexican yam Mexican barbasco trade as his starting material . Julian used his own money and borrowed from friends to build a processing plant in Mexico , but he could not get a permit from the government to harvest the yams . Abraham Zlotnik , a former Jewish University of Vienna classmate whom Julian had helped escape from the Holocaust , led a search to find a new source of the yam in Guatemala for the company . In July 1956 , Julian and executives of two other American companies trying to enter the Mexican steroid intermediates market appeared before a U.S. Senate subcommittee . They testified that Syntex was using undue influence to monopolize access to the Mexican yam . The hearings resulted in Syntex signing a consent decree with the U.S. Justice Department . While it did not admit to restraining trade , it promised not to do so in the future . Within five years , large American multinational pharmaceutical companies had acquired all six producers of steroid intermediates in Mexico , four of which had been Mexican - owned . Syntex reduced the cost of steroid intermediates more than 250-fold over twelve years , from $80 per gram in 1943 to $0.31 per gram in 1955 . Competition from Upjohn and General Mills , which had together made very substantial improvements in the production of progesterone from stigmasterol , forced the price of Mexican progesterone to less than $0.15 per gram in 1957 . The price continued to fall , bottoming out at $0.08 per gram in 1968 . In 1958 , Upjohn purchased 6,900 kg of progesterone from Syntex at $0.135 per gram , 6,201 kg of progesterone from Searle ( who had acquired Pesa ) at $0.143 per gram , 5,150 kg of progesterone from Julian Laboratories at $0.14 per gram , and 1,925 kg of progesterone from General Mills ( who had acquired Protex ) at $0.142 per gram . Despite continually falling bulk prices of steroid intermediates , an oligopoly of large American multinational pharmaceutical companies kept the wholesale prices of corticosteroid drugs fixed and unchanged into the 1960s . Cortisone was fixed at $5.48 per gram from 1954 , hydrocortisone at $7.99 per gram from 1954 , and prednisone at $35.80 per gram from 1956 . Merck and Roussel Uclaf concentrated on improving the production of corticosteroids from cattle bile acids . In 1960 Roussel produced almost one - third of the world 's corticosteroids from bile acids . Julian Laboratories chemists found a way to quadruple the yield on a product on which they were barely breaking even . Julian reduced their price for the product from $4,000 per kg to $400 per kg . He sold the company in 1961 for $2.3 million ( equivalent to $19 million today ) . The U.S. and Mexico facilities were purchased by Smith Kline , and Julian 's chemical plant in Guatemala was purchased by Upjohn . In 1964 , Julian founded Julian Associates and Julian Research Institute , which he managed for the rest of his life . National Academy of Sciences ( edit ) He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1973 in recognition of his scientific achievements . He became the second African - American to be inducted , after David Blackwell . Legacy and Honors ( edit ) In 1950 , the Chicago Sun - Times named Percy Julian the Chicagoan of the Year . Since 1975 , the National Organization for the Professional Advancement of Black Chemists and Chemical Engineers has presented the Percy L. Julian Award for Pure and Applied Research in Science and Engineering . In 1975 , Percy L. Julian High School was opened on the south side of Chicago , Illinois as a Chicago public high school . In 1980 , the science and mathematics building on the DePauw University campus was rededicated as the Percy L. Julian Mathematics and Science Center . In Greencastle , Indiana , where DePauw is located , a street was named after Julian . In 1985 , Hawthorne School in Oak Park , Illinois , was renamed Percy Julian Middle School . Illinois State University , where Julian served on the board of trustees , named a hall after him . A structure at Coppin State University is named the Percy Julian Science Building . In 1990 , he was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame . In 1993 Julian was honored on a stamp issued by the United States Postal Service . In 1999 , the American Chemical Society recognized Julian 's synthesis of physostigmine as a National Historic Chemical Landmark . In 2002 , scholar Molefi Kete Asante listed Percy Lavon Julian on his list of 100 Greatest African - Americans . In 2011 , the qualifying exam preparation committee at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine was named for Percy Julian . In 2014 , Google honored him with a Doodle . Nova documentary ( edit ) Ruben Santiago - Hudson portrayed Percy Julian in the Public Broadcasting Service Nova documentary about his life , called `` Forgotten Genius '' . It was presented on the PBS network on February 6 , 2007 , with initial sponsorship by the Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation and further funding by the National Endowment for the Humanities . Approximately sixty of Julian 's family members , friends , and work associates were interviewed for the docudrama . Production on the biopic began at DePauw University 's Greencastle campus in May 2002 and included video of Julian 's bust on display in the atrium of the university 's Percy Lavon Julian Science and Mathematics Center . Completion and broadcasting of the documentary program was delayed in order for Nova to commission and publish a matching book on Julian 's life . According to University of Illinois historian James Anderson in the film , `` His story is a story of great accomplishment , of heroic efforts and overcoming tremendous odds ... a story about who we are and what we stand for and the challenges that have been there and the challenges that are still with us .

The Glidden research director , Percy Julian , and his staff had worked out an excellent synthesis for Compound `` S '' which started from 16 - dehydropregnenolone . The latter compound was directly available from diosgenin but would have been of prohibitive cost if prepared from soya sterols . Since Compound `` S '' differed from cortisone only by the absence of an oxygen at 11 , there were high hopes that Compound `` S '' would succeed where pregnenolone had failed , as a substitute for cortisone . Compound `` S '' also proved to be an ineffective precursor when fed to patients with arthritic disease ; in fact , it aggravated rather than relieved their symptoms . p. 30 : The Glidden Company also ventured further afield from its soya sterols to exploit some of the researches of Julian , which were designed to improve the conversion of desoxycholic acid to cortisone . After two years , Glidden decided to abandon the production of cortisone from bile acid and to concentrate instead on Compound `` S , '' which now loomed as a competitor for progesterone in processes which could convert it via fermentation to cortisone and hydrocortisone . Since Glidden 's cost of production of Compound `` S '' was still relatively high , the progesterone group won out , and progesterone ( from diosgenin ) still remains the raw material of choice at Upjohn .

who was the african american scientist who created synthetic physostigmine
[ "Percy Lavon Julian (April 11, 1899 – April 19, 1975) was an African American research chemist and a pioneer in the chemical synthesis of medicinal drugs from plants.[1] He was the first to synthesize the natural product physostigmine, and a pioneer in the industrial large-scale chemical synthesis of the human hormones progesterone and testosterone from plant sterols such as stigmasterol and sitosterol. His work laid the foundation for the steroid drug industry's production of cortisone, other corticosteroids, and birth control pills.[2][3][4]" ]

( December 2014 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) My Pet Monster is a plush doll first produced by American Greetings in 1986 . As one of the few plush dolls marketed to boys at the time , My Pet Monster was popular in the late 1980s and early 1990s . The doll has blue fur , horns and a fanged smile , and is recognizable by its orange plastic handcuffs . The handcuffs could also be worn by children and came with a breakaway link so that the child could simulate breaking the chain . Several versions of the doll have been released in various sizes and other attributes . Other characters were also created with brightly colored fur and unorthodox names like Gwonk , Wogster and Rark . Their popularity allowed a wealth of merchandise including coloring books , Golden Look - Look books , frame - tray puzzles and various other items . Capitalizing on the nostalgia in many children of the ' 80s , Toymax released a 22 - inch tall talking My Pet Monster doll in 2001 . It spawned a live - action direct - to - video film in 1986 about a boy who becomes the Pet Monster after being exposed to a statue and changes Incredible Hulk - style when hunger strikes , how a man tries to kidnap him for experimentation , and how his sister helps her brother out of this crisis .

The show follows Monster who lives with a boy named Max . When Monster wears his handcuffs , they turn him into a stuffed animal . Max often does this as a way to maintain the secret of Monster 's existence from others . Max 's sister , Jill ( Voiced by Alyson Court ) , and his friend , Chuckie , are the only ones that know this secret . The two main adversaries in the show are Mr. Hinkle , a neighbor who always thinks Max is up to something , but is not quite sure what , and Beastur , a large monster who hates light and tries to bring Monster back to MonsterLand . Beastur , though immense and fierce , is sadly quite incompetent . He can be stopped by the magic cuffs -- which reduce him to a smaller , though still `` alive '' monster -- or by his own bungling , and sent back through the warp portal to his own world . He wears dark glasses to protect his sensitive eyes , which he can use to see in the dark . Beastur appears in nearly every episode as either a primary or secondary foe . On one notable occasion , he was scared back through the portal to Monsterland not by light or the cuffs , but by the affections of a smitten female gorilla . In the final episode , it is also shown that Beastur hates to be hugged , even more so than being exposed to light . Much of the voice cast of My Pet Monster returned several years later for Beetlejuice , another cartoon show with a surreal theme and a supernatural world populated by fantastic monsters .

Armor of God
Armor of God - wikipedia Armor of God For other uses , see Armor of God ( disambiguation ) . The phrase `` Armor of God '' is derived from Ephesians 6 : 11 : `` Put on the whole armour of God , that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil . '' ( King James Version ) . As a Biblical reference , the metaphor may refer to physical armour worn by God in metaphorical battles , or it may refer to vigilant righteousness in general as bestowed by the grace of God ( Romans 13 : 12 , King James Version ) : `` The night is far spent , the day is at hand : let us therefore cast off the works of darkness , and let us put on the armour of light . '' The full Armour of God quote outlines these aspects of belief : truth , righteousness , preparation of the Gospel of peace , faith , salvation and the Word of God and Prayer . The armour that is available for believers to put on is God 's own armour ( Isaiah 59 : 16 - 19 ) for He is the Divine Warrior . Contents 1 Quotes 2 Context 3 Interpretations 4 Pieces of Armor 5 See also 6 References 7 External links Quotes ( edit ) Royal Military College of Canada memorial window Sir Lancelot wearing the whole Armour of God The full quote as outlined in the King James Bible , is from Apostle Paul 's letter to the Ephesians 6 : 10 - 18 : ( 10 ) Finally , my brethren , be strong in the Lord , and in the power of his might . ( 11 ) Put on the whole armor of God , that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil . ( 12 ) For we wrestle not against flesh and blood , but against principalities , against powers , against the rulers of the darkness of this world , against spiritual wickedness in high places . ( 13 ) Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God , that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day , and having done all , to stand . ( 14 ) Stand therefore , having your loins girt about with truth , and having on the breastplate of righteousness ; ( 15 ) And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace ; ( 16 ) Above all , taking the shield of faith , wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked . ( 17 ) And take the helmet of salvation , and the sword of the Spirit , which is the word of God : ( 18 ) Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit , and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints ; Given the many points of contact between the Book of Wisdom and Paul 's writings ( particularly his Epistle to the Romans ) , it is perhaps unsurprising that the imagery of the Armor of God would be used here . Compare the various elements of the whole armor of God mentioned in the epistle to the Ephesians to Wisdom 5 : 17 - 20 : `` 17 The Lord will take his zeal as his whole armor , and will arm all creation to repel his enemies ; 18 he will put on righteousness as a breast plate , and wear impartial justice as a helmet ; 19 he will take holiness as an invincible shield , 20 and sharpen stern wrath for a sword , and creation will join with him to fight against his frenzied foes . '' Context ( edit ) Other related passages , by Apostle Paul and references by later theologians , indicate a metaphorical context for the Armor of God . For instance , Paul 's letter to the Romans indicates not a literal , but a figurative , application of the concept ( Romans 13 : 12 - 14 , New International Version ) : ( 12 ) The night is nearly over ; the day is almost here . So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light . ( 13 ) Let us behave decently , as in the daytime , not in orgies and drunkenness , not in sexual immorality and debauchery , not in dissension and jealousy . ( 14 ) Rather , clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ , and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature . In terms of the parts of the Armor of God , the various pieces ( the belt of truth , the breastplate of righteousness , the shoes of the gospel of peace , the shield of faith , the helmet of salvation , and the sword of the Spirit ) are correlated to what Paul would have witnessed firsthand as the arms and armor of Roman legionaries during his life in the Roman Empire . Interpretations ( edit ) In Biblical exegesis , the vast majority of Biblical scholars , Catholic , Protestant , and otherwise , agree that Paul the Apostle used the concept as a reference to spiritual battle with the Devil . Christians are to put on this armor and deal well with its upkeeping . This armor seems to be in direct correlation of that of the Roman Empire 's soldiers . Pieces of armor ( edit ) The Biblical text of Ephesians chapter 6 mentions six pieces of armor : belt breastplate footwear shield helmet sword These pieces are described in Ephesians as follows : loins girt with truth ( belt of truth ) , breastplate of righteousness , feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace ( peace ) , shield of faith , helmet of salvation , and the sword of the spirit / word of God . The helmet of Salvation and the breastplate of Righteousness also appear in Isaiah 59 : 17 See also ( edit ) Shield of the Trinity Bibleman New Testament military metaphors Miles Christianus Soldiers of Christ , Arise Territorial Spirit References ( edit ) ^ Jump up to : Bible Gateway Passage Lookup : Armour of God , New International Version . http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=ephesians%206:10-18 Jump up ^ Bible Gateway Passage Lookup : Romans 13 : 12 - 14 , New International Version . http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=romans%2013:12-14;&version=31 ; Jump up ^ `` What is the Armor of God ?

what scripture talks about the whole armor of god
[ "The phrase \"Armor of God\" is derived from Ephesians 6:11: \"Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. \" (King James Version).[1] As a Biblical reference, the metaphor may refer to physical armour worn by God in metaphorical battles, or it may refer to vigilant righteousness in general as bestowed by the grace of God (Romans 13:12, King James Version): \"The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.\"\n" ]

Weiss , producer Bryan Cogman and Dave Hill . Author George R.R. Martin , who had written one episode for each of the first four seasons , did not write an episode for the sixth season , as he was working to finish writing the sixth A Song of Ice and Fire novel , The Winds of Winter . The directing staff for the sixth season was Jeremy Podeswa ( episodes 1 and 2 ) , Daniel Sackheim ( episodes 3 and 4 ) , Jack Bender ( episodes 5 and 6 ) , Mark Mylod ( episodes 7 and 8 ) , and Miguel Sapochnik ( episodes 9 and 10 ) . Sackheim and Bender were first - time Game of Thrones directors , with the rest each having directed two episodes in the previous season . Writing ( edit ) With the end of the fifth season , the content of the show has reached the plot of the latest novel in Martin 's A Song of Ice and Fire series , A Dance with Dragons . Season 6 director Jeremy Podeswa said in August 2015 : `` Right now in season six , what we 're shooting currently is n't based on anything in the book . It 's fully based on discussions the writers have had with George Martin , because the series has now surpassed the books in terms of what 's available . '' Actress Natalie Dormer , who plays Margaery Tyrell , later added that the show 's writers `` know where it 's got to go and what ( George Martin ) 's intentions for the characters are . But they are just filling in the gaps . '' The season premiere starts off right where the fifth season ended . A plot from The Winds of Winter regarding a traveling theater troupe located in Braavos that stages a play called `` The Bloody Hand '' , about the events that have taken place in King 's Landing since the beginning of the series , is included in the sixth season . Filming ( edit ) The Castle of Zafra in Guadalajara , Spain is among the filming locations . Filming for season six began in July 2015 , and ended on December 17 , 2015 . The budget for the sixth season increased compared to the previous seasons as each episode did cost over $10 million per episode , totaling over $100 million for the full season and setting a new high for the series . The season filmed in five different countries , Northern Ireland , Spain , Croatia , Iceland and Canada . Like the previous seasons , a large amount of production took place in Northern Ireland , mainly in Belfast and on the Causeway Coast , including film locations in the Binevenagh , Magilligan area which was used to film scenes for the Dothraki Grasslands , and Larrybane Quarry and Ballintoy Harbour , both used for scenes in the Iron Islands . The small village of Corbet was also used , for the siege of Riverrun . As in previous seasons , some of Castle Black was set at the abandoned Magheramorne quarry . From September 3 to October 23 , 2015 the show also filmed in Spain , specifically in Girona , Navarre , Peniscola , and Almería . Some filming locations in Spain included the Castle of Zafra in Guadalajara , the Bardenas Reales Natural Park in Navarre , the Alcazaba in Almería , and the Castle of Santa Florentina in Canet de Mar . In August 2015 , HBO announced that for the first time since season 1 , the show would not be filming any scenes in Croatia . The Croatian city of Dubrovnik has stood in for King 's Landing since the beginning of season 2 ; nearby cities such as Klis , Split and Šibenik have been used to depict various other locations . Contradicting the statement by HBO , cast of the show were seen in costume in Dubrovnik in October 2015 . Only a very small portion of the season was filmed in Canada ( north of Calgary , Alberta ) : the scenes featuring Jon Snow 's wolf Ghost ( played by animal actor Quigly ) . However , some of the special effects were created at Montreal 's Rodeo FX studios which has won Emmy Awards previously for its work on the series . Casting ( edit ) Pilou Asbæk plays Euron Greyjoy . The sixth season saw the return of Isaac Hempstead Wright as Bran Stark , Kristian Nairn as Hodor , Ellie Kendrick as Meera Reed , Gemma Whelan as Yara Greyjoy , and Rory McCann as Sandor `` The Hound '' Clegane , who did not appear in the fifth season . Clive Russell , Tobias Menzies , Patrick Malahide , Richard Dormer and Paul Kaye also returned to the show as Brynden Tully , Edmure Tully , Balon Greyjoy , Beric Dondarrion and Thoros of Myr after not appearing since the third season . Jonathan Pryce as the High Sparrow was added to the series main cast after appearing in a recurring role in the previous season . Across the Narrow Sea , Melanie Liburd plays a Red priestess from Asshai who is in R'hllor 's service .

The character was created by series ' producer Shonda Rhimes , and is portrayed by actress Ellen Pompeo . Meredith is the series ' protagonist , and was introduced as a surgical intern at the fictional Seattle Grace Hospital ( later Seattle Grace - Mercy West , and afterwards Grey Sloan Memorial ) , eventually obtaining the position of a resident , and later the position of an attending , and in 2015 , attaining the Chief of General Surgery position . As the daughter of world - renowned surgeon Ellis Grey , Meredith struggles with the everyday life of being in a competitive profession , maintaining the relationship with her one - night stand and eventual husband Derek Shepherd ( deceased ) , her motherhood , and her friendships with her colleagues . Meredith is the narrator of the show and serves as the focal point for most episodes . Pompeo 's connection with Patrick Dempsey ( Derek Shepherd ) is acclaimed as a high point of the series . Rhimes has characterized Meredith as not believing in good or bad , but instead doing what she thinks is right . Grey has been positively received by television critics , with Alessandra Stanley of The New York Times referring to her as `` the heroine of Grey 's Anatomy '' . News of Pompeo leaving arose when it was made clear that her contract ended after the eighth season , and whether or not she would return to the series after her contract expires has been the centre of media speculation ever since . In 2016 , Pompeo re-negotiated her contract and signed up for the thirteenth season of the show . Pompeo 's performance has been well received throughout the show and the character has gained widespread popularity worldwide . Pompeo has been nominated for multiple awards for her portrayal of the character in the long running ABC medical drama including Satellite Award for Best Actress and multiple nominations at the People 's Choice Awards for Best Actress winning at 39th People 's Choice Awards in 2013 and again in 2015 at 41st People 's Choice Awards , Pompeo has also received a Best Performance by an Actress in a Drama Series nomination at the 64th Golden Globe Awards . Contents ( hide ) 1 Storylines and Characteristics 2 Development 2.1 Casting and creation 2.2 Characterization 3 Reception 3.1 Reviews 3.2 Awards 4 References 5 External links Storylines and characteristics ( edit ) Dr. Meredith Grey is the daughter of world - renowned surgeon Ellis Grey , and grew up in her shadow . Ellis was a deeply flawed , emotionally and verbally abusive , neglectful mother towards her . Meredith is described as a `` dark and twisty , '' damaged person who sees the world in varying shades of gray morality . Because of this , she is an emotionally complex person capable of empathizing with others when they 're at their lowest points , and a sensitive observer of the people around her . Meredith is a graduate of Dartmouth College and nearly did not attend med school due to conflicts with her mother . Meredith was directionless after obtaining her undergrad and had plans to sleep and party her way through Europe . After a month abroad , Meredith was called back to care for Ellis , who had developed early - onset Alzheimer 's disease , and Meredith obtained her M.D. The night before Meredith 's internship begins , she has a one - night stand with Derek Shepherd ( Patrick Dempsey ) , a stranger she meets at a bar . She discovers the next day that he is the recently - hired attending and new head of neurosurgery at her new workplace , Seattle Grace Hospital . Meredith is assigned to work under resident Miranda Bailey ( Chandra Wilson ) , and befriends her fellow interns , George O'Malley ( T.R. Knight ) , Izzie Stevens ( Katherine Heigl ) , Cristina Yang ( Sandra Oh ) and Alex Karev ( Justin Chambers ) . She is particularly close with Cristina Yang , who becomes her best friend and `` person '' . Though she initially thinks poorly of him , Alex Karev also evolves into Meredith 's `` person '' and the two assume a sibling-esque familial relationship . Meredith has a conflicted relationship with Richard Webber ( James Pickens Jr . ) , the Chief of Surgery at Seattle Grace . Richard was very close to Ellis when Meredith was a child , which inclines him to save or mentor Grey and make exceptions for her . Meredith has a habit of `` collecting strays '' , allowing her friends and coworkers to live in the house her mother left her and become her pseudo-family . Meredith is endlessly loyal to those she deems her family , and bends traditional morality as needed in order to keep them safe . Having grown up in a hospital , Meredith shows immense natural talent . She possesses a steadfast , calm ease during medical procedures and emergencies , and is a natural observer of people . She exhibits a knack for catching subtle hints and accurately determining difficult - to - catch diagnoses . Her placid , non-judgmental bedside manner often causes people to open up and trust her . Her surgical skills are solidly impressive and she shows a talent and patience for medical research trials and dealing with psychologically damaged patients . Meredith resists Derek 's advances throughout her internship , but is eventually charmed into starting a relationship with him despite misgivings about an intern dating an attending . She is therefore shocked by the arrival of Addison Montgomery ( Kate Walsh ) , Derek 's wife , unaware that he was married . Derek struggles to choose between the two , but ultimately returns to Addison , despite Meredith begging to be chosen instead . Meredith is devastated and turns to multiple , self - destructive means of coping . Initially she falls on old habits of self - medicating with tequila and sex , and buys a dog . She also tries to resolve some issues by searching for her long - absent father , Thatcher . She learns that her father , who left when she was five and she has not seen since , remarried and had two more daughters . The two do not become close , but Grey becomes fond of her stepmother . Meredith spirals further when Ellis is admitted to the hospital , revealing Ellis ' diagnosis of early - onset Alzheimer 's and her verbally abusive tendencies . Meredith self - destructive behavior increases when she saves a patient with a bomb in their chest by impulsively inserting her hand to hold it until the bomb squad can remove it . Mereidth has a series of one - night stands , including one with George , who is in love with her . When she cries in the middle of their encounter , their friendship temporarily ends . Meredith swears off her behavior , agrees to be friends only with Shepherd , and embarks on a relationship with veterinarian Finn Dandridge ( Chris O'Donnell ) . Derek regrets his decision to return to his wife and Meredith must decide whether to continue a relationship with Finn , or allow Derek a second chance . When Ellis experiences a rare , completely lucid day , and expresses her immense disappointment at how ordinary Meredith has turned out to be , she becomes depressed and possibly suicidal . During a ferryboat accident , Meredith is knocked into the water and chooses to give up and drown , rather than fight and swim . She flatlines at the hospital , and awakens in an `` afterlife '' , where she interacts with deceased former acquaintances . Ellis dies in the interim , and Meredith meets with her mother , who tells her that she is anything but ordinary . She is subsequently resuscitated at the insistence of Cristina . Derek distances himself from Meredith as the result of her self recklessness , prompting her to seek therapy to address her problems . After Meredith is promoted to a resident , her younger half - sister Lexie Grey ( Chyler Leigh ) begins working at Seattle Grace as an intern . Meredith nearly failed her intern exam after a drunken Thatcher publicly blames Meredith for the death of his wife , Susan , a distraught Grey sits through her entire test without writing a single answer . Dr. Webber gives her a second chance , saving her from destroying her career . Meredith initially rejects Lexie 's attempts to form a relationship , but slowly softens towards her . The sisters are very different people with different childhoods . Lexie had an idealistic family life and often has difficulty understanding her much darker sister , who does not have the same positive associations with family as Lexie . Meredith sees a therapist , Dr. Wyatt ( Amy Madigan ) , to seek happiness and begins to successfully tackle her issues . Meredith found her mother 's diaries , dredging up old memories and secrets for her to work through . She later initiates a neurosurgical clinical trial , enlisting Derek as a consulting neurosurgeon . The trial fails repeatedly , but the final patient they treat survives , which leads them to reuniting and moving in together . Their relationship is healthier than before , but still experiences snags as the two attempt to understand each other and navigate what they now look on as a permanent , long - term relationship . Meredith relies heavily on Cristina for emotional support and guidance . Eventually , Derek and Meredith decide to marry , but on their wedding day , the pair give their `` perfect '' wedding ceremony to Izzie and Alex , to marry each other during the planned ceremony instead . The development of Grey and Shepherd 's relationship , during season three , was disliked among television critics . Meredith and Derek marry by writing their wedding vows on a post-it note . Meredith spends the majority of a season out of commission after donating part of her liver to Thatcher and supporting Cristina 's new relationship with Owen Hunt , an army doctor with worrisome PTSD . Mereduth experiences another immense trauma after the hospital is put under a lockdown from an active mass - shooter seeking revenge against Derek . Meredith offers her own life in exchange for his and miscarries her baby during the crisis . She goes through this traumatic experience with Cristina , who operates on Derek while threatened at gunpoint . Meredith hides her loss and the trauma psychiatrist refuses to clear neither Cristina nor Meredith for their return to surgery . Meredith is able to work through her issues and become cleared , but Cristina remains deeply traumatized . Meredith covers for and supports her friend through her dark time , but is ultimately unable to fully help her return to surgery . Meredith decides to actively try to become pregnant , but learns that she has a `` hostile uterus '' , which leads her to consider her other possible genetic flaws . Derek , who is constantly worried about the possibility that she will develop Alzheimer 's , initiates a clinical trial hoping to cure the disease . Meredith opts to work on the trial and appears to be leaning towards a neuro specialty . When the chief of surgery , Richard Webber ( James Pickens Jr . ) 's wife , Adele , is diagnosed with Alzheimer 's , she receives a spot on the trial . Meredith tampers with the drugs so that Adele does not receive the placebo . She and Derek decide to adopt Zola , an orphaned baby from Malawi , and make their marriage legal . When the truth about the tampering comes out , however , a furious Derek tells her he can not raise a child with her because of her moral ambiguity . Meredith is fired , and tries to conceal both this and her marital separation from the adoption counselor in order to keep Zola . Although Dr. Webber steps down as chief of surgery and takes the blame for the trial tampering to protect Meredith , Zola is taken away . She and Derek reconcile . Meredith chooses a general specialty over neuro , and they successfully fight to get Zola back . As her last year of residency is coming to a close , the residents travel around the country , searching for the best jobs in their specialties . In order to finish their residency , the residents must take the medical boards . Meredith takes the exam while sick with the flu . She decides to take a job offer at The Brigham and Women 's Hospital as the next step in her career . During a medical flight to undertake a prestigious surgery involving conjoined twins , Meredith , Derek , Cristina , and Lexie , among others , are involved in an aviation accident . The plane crash kills Lexie , and the survivors are trapped in the wooded wilderness for days waiting for help . Following their rescue , Merdith becomes an attending general surgeon at Seattle Grace , now Seattle Grace - Mercy West . While Cristina flees Seattle for her fellowship , Meredith , afraid of flying and change , declines her job offer , and clings to what remains in Seattle . Cristina and Meredith begin calling the hospital Seattle Grace Mercy Death in light of the immense amount of trauma , death , and pain they have experienced there . Meredith 's newfound attitude and sarcasm leads to her being dubbed `` Medusa '' by the hospital 's new batch of interns . In the aftermath of the plane accident , the hospital is sued and eventually found guilty of negligence . Each victim including Derek , Cristina , Arizona Robbins ( Jessica Capshaw ) and herself must receive $15 million of compensation , which leads the hospital to a near bankruptcy as the insurance company refuses to pay due to a loophole . The doctors along with Callie Torres ( Sara Ramirez ) buy the hospital with the help of the Harper Avery Foundation to prevent it from closing and become new members of the directing board . Meredith asks Dr. Bailey to perform gene mapping on her to finally know whether she has Alzheimer 's genes like her mother . She tests positive for more than one of the genetic markers for the disease . Meredith moves to the completed dream home and sells her house to Alex , who purchases it as the only true home he 's ever known . He continues Meredith 's tradition of keeping the house open to any `` strays '' needing a home . Meredith discovers she is pregnant and gives birth to a son . The baby is delivered via C - section . While stitching Meredith up , the obstetrician who operated on her is called away to another patient and intern Shane Ross completes the stitching . When blood begins to appear from everywhere , Meredith diagnoses herself in as being in DIC . Dr. Bailey performs a spleen removal , which saves her life . In return , Derek and Meredith name their son Bailey . As a spouse , surgeon , and mother , Meredith has cited a number times that she did not want to be like either of her parents : her father had followed her mother around pathetically before leaving to be happy , while her mother valued her career over her family . Meredith is frequently conflicted trying to balance between the two , and fears her family are hindering her medical aspirations , as much as she fears becoming like her mother whenever she 's tempted to choose surgery over family . Meredith and Cristina have a huge rift when Cristina confirms Meredith 's fears by stating that Meredith 's skills have fallen behind Cristina 's due to her familial obligations taking her away from OR time . Meredith and Derek come to an agreement that he , already established in his career and reputation , would take a step back to take care of the children and allow her to shine . Meredith attempts to regain some ground by starting a promising research trial 3 - D printing portal veins . The conflict between Cristina and Meredith widens when Cristina commandeers Meredith 's resources for her own trial , ultimately garnering a Harper Avery nomination for Cristina . Cristina and Meredith repair their relationship when Meredith confesses that Cristina was correct , her skills have surpassed Meredith 's . Cristina moves to Switzerland take up a job offer from Dr. Preston Burke , her former attending , mentor and fiancé , who was looking for a replacement at a research hospital he was running , thus leaving Alex in charge of being Meredith 's `` person '' in her place , an honor he gladly accepts . Meredith and Derek 's marriage becomes strained when Derek goes against his promise and accepts an offer from the U.S. President to participate in the Brain Mapping Initiative , which consumes his time and eclipses Meredith , who is feeling increasingly left behind and mommy - tracked . He receives an offer to head the project itself in Washington D.C. , meaning that he would have to be based there permanently . Meredith puts her foot down as she does not want to uproot their young family to move across the country for his career at the sacrifice of her own . They begin a series of on - and - off arguments and `` cold wars '' over their careers . Derek accepts the job in the heat of the moment and promptly leaves for Washington . During a phone call with Meredith , they agree to work things out after she tells him that she did not want them to become `` one of those couples '' and he reciprocates , saying that he missed her . She privately admits to Alex that she has realized that she could live independently of Derek , but chooses not to . Meredith finds out she has a maternal half sister named Maggie Pierce who is now working in Grey Sloan Memorial . Meredith is in denial and rejects Maggie , thinking she would have remembered if her mother was pregnant until she finds a hospital document confirming the revelation . Meredith tries to piece together her relationship with her mother and half sister by going through old videos of her mother . She eventually recovers her repressed memories of the pregnancy when she views her mother 's diary and has a change of heart , choosing to accept Maggie and begin building a relationship . Meredith is widowed when Derek is killed in a car accident and was taken to an understaffed hospital . The doctors failed to recognize his head injury in time and allowed personal conflicts to interfere . Derek is declared brain dead , and Meredith must go to the medical center to consent to remove him from life support , shortly before she 's hit with the first waves of morning sickness . She tells Penny , the intern who was assigned to Derek that every doctor has `` that one '' patient who dies on their watch and haunts them forever and `` that one will make you work harder , and they make you better . '' After Derek 's death , Meredith returns to Grey Sloan Memorial to inform the others of his passing . Following the funeral service , Meredith impulsively packs up her belongings and leaves with the children to San Diego . Months pass by while her friends and family are unaware of her whereabouts . Eventually , parallels show similarities in Meredith 's and Ellis ' lives : Both have lost the love of their life , both run away from Seattle following their loss , and both eventually give birth to a daughter . Meredith names her newborn daughter after her mother . Although still grieving over Derek , Meredith returns to Seattle with the children and later becomes chief of general surgery . She sells the `` dream house '' and moves back to her mother 's house , having purchased it back from Alex , and now lives there with Maggie and Amelia Shepherd , her sister - in - law . Meredith hosts a dinner party and at the party Callie brings Penny as a date . Later at the event Meredith finds out Penny will be joining her at Grey Sloan Memorial . Meredith eventually forgives Penny , who becomes her favorite resident over Alex 's girlfriend , Jo . Alex and Meredith continue their close , sibling - like relationship of being each other 's `` person '' , despite Jo 's displeasure and inability to understand their closeness . He supports her when she is violently attacked by a disoriented patient , and she supports him through his legal difficulties . Alex initiates a weekly family waffle day where he makes waffles for everyone in the house . Meredith recovers enough to start seeing Nathan Riggs , Owen Hunt 's former best friend , by season 13 , although their relationship is complicated by the fact that Maggie confesses to Meredith that she has feelings for Riggs and Meredith is not ready to declare their relationship formally or publicly . Eventually she accepts her relationship with Riggs but it 's complicated by the unexpected return of Owen 's sister , Megan Hunt , Riggs ' fiancée . Development ( edit ) Casting and creation ( edit ) Pompeo discovered Grey 's Anatomy after an extended period of doing nothing in the acting profession . Her agent suggested she audition amongst other projects . While casting actresses for the part of Meredith Grey , series ' creator Shonda Rhimes said : `` I kept saying we need a girl like that girl from Moonlight Mile , and after a while , they were like , ' We think we can get that girl from Moonlight Mile . ' I spent time with her and got to know her , and then we started casting for the men . '' She reported that Grey was not an easy role to cast because of the strong verbal possibilities . Rhimes was informed that the actress in question was Pompeo , who had a deal in place with ABC , having previously tested for a pilot show on the network . It has been speculated that Pompeo was the first character to be cast , but when asked , she said she did not know of this . When asked of how she created Pompeo 's character , Rhimes said : `` `` ( I was ) in my pajamas at home , which is where I spent a lot of time writing . I kept asking myself , ' What kind of woman should the heroine be ? ' I thought she should be someone who had made some big mistakes . As it turns out , Meredith also has another problem : She is trying to live up to her mother 's renowned career in surgery . Meredith is the daughter of a mother who basically never spent any time with her -- the daughter of a mother who now has Alzheimer 's and does n't even remember her . '' '' Pompeo was cast as the program 's titular character , described by Mary McNamara of the Los Angeles Times as `` a prickly , independent sort whose ambition , and ambivalence , is fueled by the fact that her mother was a gifted surgeon and now suffers from Alzheimer 's . '' Grey also serves as the show 's narrator , and as such was likened in early reviews to Carrie Bradshaw ( Sarah Jessica Parker ) , the narrator and protagonist of Sex and the City . After her initial contract with Grey 's Anatomy expired , Pompeo negotiated a new one , in which she would be paid US $200,000 per episode , making her and Dempsey the highest - paid cast members on the show . In 2012 , Forbes recognized Pompeo as the eighth highest - paid actress on television , with a salary of US $275,000 per episode for her role on Grey 's Anatomy . Pompeo 's second contract with Grey 's Anatomy expired after the eighth season , and speculation arose that she would be leaving subsequently . In September 2011 , Pompeo reported that she is open to the idea of extending her contract , if invited . She told TV Guide : `` I would never turn up my nose at ( Grey 's Anatomy ) . As long as the stories are honest and truthful , and Patrick ( Dempsey ) and I feel there is material for us to be passionate about , it still beats a 9 - to - 5 job any day . If I hear from the fans that they want us to keep going , then I would continue because we owe them everything . '' E ! Online reported in May 2012 , that Pompeo , as well as all original cast members have signed on for two more years . With the Huffington Post 's announcement of season nine having officially been renewed , the contract is set into place for Pompeo to return . Pompeo 's contract expired again at the end of the twelfth season . She signed a new contract to keep her in the starring role on the series for thirteenth season . According to a report in Deadline.com , Pompeo was earning $300,000 per episode under the new deal . Characterization ( edit ) Whatever I come up with , ( Pompeo ) is always game to play . She 's been so good at what she 's done that I 've just let the character do what I 've wanted the character to do , which has been wonderful . She 's managed to sell every single thing because she 's really believed it . The incredible thing is that you can have no fear to write what you think because she is always able to deliver . Executive producer Betsy Beers on developing Pompeo 's character Grey is the protagonist and focal point of the series . She has been called `` intelligent , compassionate , hard - working , oftentimes outspoken , easily distracted , and indecisive '' by Grey 's Anatomy executives . Pompeo says she is unaware if her character knows how to have fun , adding : `` All of my scenes with ( Dempsey ) are the same -- we 're either breaking up or having sex . '' Her personality has evolved over the past few seasons from depressed , to happy and `` fixed '' . Pompeo said to Good Morning America , `` I am so incredibly lucky to have Patrick ( Dempsey ) , to have the chemistry that we do , we have an amazing relationship , and it 's like any other relationship , you have your ups and downs . But we work it out , and we 've found a way to do this for this long and still get along , and make it work and believe in what we 're doing . '' Pompeo told Entertainment Weekly : `` It 's awkward with Patrick ( Dempsey ) because he 's like my brother . As soon as the camera is off , I 'm like , ' Is your hand on my butt ? ' But there are millions of girls who have been waiting for this , so I feel an obligation to the fans . '' Rhimes used the dog `` Doc '' , which Meredith and Derek shared , as a metaphor of their relationship during the second season . She characterizes Grey as doing what she thinks is right : `` Meredith is the girl who put her hand on a bomb in a body cavity . Meredith is the girl who tried to help a serial killer kill himself , so that he could donate his organs . Meredith -- and this is obvious -- has a compass that has always led her to shades of grey . She does not believe in black - and - white , she does not believe in good or bad , she does what she thinks is right . '' McKee deemed Grey and O'Malley's sexual encounter irreversible . The character had a one - night stand with George O'Malley , in the second season . Series writer Stacy McKee , said of the sexual encounter : `` There 's no turning back . There 's nothing George and Meredith can do . The damage is done -- things will never be the same . They 've just changed something important in their lives FOREVER and ... they are freaking out . '' Grey 's character development has also been known as an influence on the creation of her half - sister , Lexie Grey . Particularly , it has been made clear that they both share the same motives . McKee offered her thoughts : `` Meredith and Lexie both want to succeed . They want to be strong . They want to feel normal . They want , so much , to be whole . But it 's a struggle -- a genuine struggle for them . Being hardcore does n't come naturally . Sometimes , they have to fake it . '' Grey 's personality has been compared with that of Alex Karev 's . Rhimes offered the insight : `` I like to create moments for him and Meredith . Because , in my head , they are very similar people . Even though Karev can be such an ass , even though he 's arrogant , even though he gave O'Malley the Syph . He and Meredith are both lost , both lonely , both former screw - ups who got their acts together . In another lifetime , they would be really good friends . So throughout the season , we watch them pause from time to time to look at each other and see that they are mirrors of one another . -- Shonda Rhimes , Grey Matter Pompeo fights for a truthful storyline for her character -- she wants it to be realistic and says you ca n't always wrap it up in a neat little package . Referring to Grey 's tampering with Shepherd 's trial , Pompeo said : `` Listen , what Meredith did clearly crossed a line . Derek has a right to be pissed . '' Following the tampering , Rhimes said she believes that Grey and Shepherd are meant to be together and that it in the end , they will end up with each other . Grey 's relationship with Cristina Yang , has been looked upon as `` sisterhood '' , and Yang has repeatedly referred to Grey as `` her person '' . This led to the two being dubbed `` the twisted sisters '' . At the conclusion of season three , the duo went on a `` honeymoon '' together , and Rhimes called it her favorite detail of the finale . Grey has been characterized , by some , as `` whiny '' . Rhimes offered her insight : `` I 've heard a lot of talk about Meredith being whiny but the truth is , she 's got a mom ( who died of ) Alzheimer 's , no other family to speak of , and the man she loves is married . She 's pretty freaking lonely , people . She 's got a right to get her whine on . So , when she falters , it 's partly because she 's got nothing to hang on to . As she says in the first episode , she needs a reason to go on , she needs some hope . '' Rhimes felt that the 100th episode showed well Meredith 's evolution throughout the show from a `` dark and twisty girl '' to a `` happy woman '' . She said : `` She is the thing her mother wished for her . She is extraordinary . Because , to get past the crap of your past ? To move on ? To let the past go and change ? That is extraordinary . To love ? Without fear ? Without screwing it up ? That is extraordinary . It makes me happy to see her happy . '' Following the departure of Patrick Dempsey 's character , Rhimes was quoted as saying that `` ... Meredith and the entire Grey 's Anatomy family are about to enter uncharted territory as we head into this new chapter of her life . The possibilities for what may come are endless . '' With at least a year left in Pompeo 's contract with the show , viewers are sure to witness some of the most difficult times of Meredith 's life yet . Reception ( edit ) Reviews ( edit ) The character has received both overwhelmingly positive reviews to weary response from television critics throughout the course of the show . The initial response to the character was positive but as the series progressed Meredith Grey became immensely popular and Pompeo established the character as a critic and fan favorite featuring on a number of Top TV Character lists . The development of the character has been deemed as the highlight of the show . Grey has constantly been defined as `` the heroine of Grey 's Anatomy '' . At the time of inception Newsday 's Diane Werts praised the character stating , `` Like Hugh Laurie 's irascible `` House '' title character , star Ellen Pompeo 's newly minted Dr. Grey conveys such substance that you simply ca n't stop watching . '' Ellen A. Kim of After Pompeo not receiving an Emmy nomination for her work as Grey , McNamara of the Los Angeles Times suggested that Pompeo , `` who has worked very hard and against all narrative odds to make Meredith Grey an interesting character at last '' should have received a nomination at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards . Later , during the twelfth season Western Gazette gave Ellen Pompeo the credit for carrying the show and re-ittirated . '' ( It 's ) time for Pompeo to finally win an Emmy Award . '' Tanner Stransky of Entertainment Weekly referred to Grey as the `` trusty voice over master '' of Grey 's Anatomy . Pompeo 's connection with Patrick Dempsey ( Derek Shepherd ) is acclaimed as a high point of the series . Former television columnist for The Star - Ledger Alan Sepinwall expressed his boredom on the focus given on Grey 's relationships storylines while reviewing the second season 's finale : `` On those occasions when Meredith 's not involved in a plot about her love life , I do kind of like her , but those moments are so infrequent compared to her constant angsting over McDreamy -- not to mention all those seemingly unrelated storylines that always turn into a metaphor for that relationship -- that I really , really ca n't stand her . '' During the show 's third season , the development of the character received negative reviews , with Cristopher Monfette of IGN stating that her storyline has become `` some bizarrely under - developed sub-plot about depression and giving Derek a season 's worth of reconsidering to do . '' Also during the third season , Robert Rorke of the New York Post noted the decline in Meredith 's role in the show , expressing disappointment : `` She used to be the queen of the romantic dilemmas , but lately , she 's been a little dopey , what with the endless McDreamy soliloquies . '' Similarly , Macleans.ca found their storyline in the fourth season overused , `` This whole ' Oh I need more time , ' but ' Oh , I 'm jealous if you look at someone else ' angst was tired in the second season , frustrating in the third and now a total channel changer . The will - they - or - wo n't - they plot does n't work because they 've already been in and out of that relationship too many times . Meredith is a nag and McDreamy is henpecked . '' On a more positive note , her relationship with Shepherd was included in AOL TV 's list of the `` Best TV Couples of All Time '' and in the same list by TV Guide . During the sixth season the development of the character was praised , Glenn Diaz of BuddyTV commented that `` You got ta love Mer when she 's gloomy . '' , in addition to praising Pompeo 's performance . In her review of the episode Tainted Obligation she wrote `` I felt for Meredith , but after Lexie 's heartfelt begging and pleading , I was happy that Mere finally grows up and casts her selfishness aside . Three seasons ago Meredith would never have dreamed of putting Lexie first , and I was proud of her for giving up part of her liver -- her offer to get to know her dad was an even bigger milestone . '' Reviewing the first part of the eighth season , TV Fanatic lauded the character and wrote : `` this season belongs to Meredith Grey . She is the heart and soul of the show and has been outstanding . This is a character that used to be so dark and twisty and has now grown into a more mature woman . Ellen Pompeo has been at the top of her game this season . '' Wit & Fancy praised the transformation of the character and stated , `` Of course Meredith will still make rash decisions like when she took off with Zola , or tampered with the trial but she does things out of love and the kindness of her heart now and not because she is dark and twisty . Considering where Meredith was at the beginning and where she is now , I think she went through a remarkable journey and did more than just growing up , she finally became `` all whole and healed `` . '' Maura O'Malley of Bustle also lauded the development of the character ahead of season 12 saying , `` When the series began , Meredith was just a girl sitting in a bar celebrating the exciting next phase of her life . She had graduated medical school , she was starting her residency at a prestigious hospital , and she was simply looking for a no - strings attached , one night stand . What she got instead was a complicated romantic relationship that rivals Romeo and Juliet -- but the key is , she was n't searching for love . Working and learning were -- and continue to be -- her priorities , while McDreamy was simply an added perk . Hopefully , the new season of Grey 's Anatomy will reflect this change in tone , because Meredith is a strong , independent woman -- and she will be just fine . '' Later in the series , Ellen Pompeo received critical acclaim with numerous critics lauding her portrayal of the character . Reviewing the episode She 's Leaving Home CarterMatt called her the `` anchor '' for Grey 's saying , `` Throughout , this was an episode completely anchored by Ellen Pompeo , who has done some of her best work ever on the show the past couple of weeks . Tonight , she cried , she fought , and she learned that she was carrying his child . '' and added that Pompeo is often `` ovelooked '' saying , `` Her subtlety is probably why she is often overlooked . '' Rick Porter of Zap2it reviewing `` How to Save a Life '' wrote , `` Without Meredith , and without one of Pompeo 's strongest performances in her long time on the show , `` How to Save a Life '' would have run the risk of coming across as a baldly manipulative death episode , the likes of which the show has done several times before . He added . `` How to Save a Life '' may not be the ideal Emmy - submission episode for Pompeo , considering Meredith is off screen for more than half of it . But it 's among the best work she 's ever done on the show . '' USA Today also lauded Pompeo saying , `` In some ways , the episode ( How to Save a Life ) was even more of a showcase for Pompeo . She had some of the more memorable and well - played scenes , from her angry response to the doctor who tries to tell her what her choices are , to her resignation when she realizes she has to comfort and motivate the young doctor whose mistakes cost Derek his life . '' Mark Perigard of the Boston Herald considered Meredith 's friendship with Cristina ( Sandra Oh ) to be `` the secret core of Grey 's '' . The relation between Meredith and Cristina has been acclaimed and been a highlight of the show . Mark Perigard of the Boston Herald considered the friendship to be `` the secret core of Grey 's '' . Aisha Harris of Slate called their relation The Best Female Friendship on TV adding that `` With those two characters , showrunner Shonda Rhimes and her team of writers created one of the most nuanced and realistic portrayals of female friendship on television . '' Samantha Highfill of Entertainment Weekly called Cristina and Meredith the best female friends on TV because `` they do n't try to be '' . There 's nothing fake about them , which is a rarity in how female friends are portrayed on television . She further went on to call them ' soulmates ' , `` And even though they 'd never dare get sappy enough to say it , they 're soul mates . Margaret Lyons of Vulture ( magazine ) called the friendship '' dream BFF relationship . '' and the primary focus of the show , `` One of the series ' calling cards has been its depiction of female friendship and particularly the primacy that friendship enjoyed over romantic relationships . '' `` `` I wanted to create a world in which you felt as if you were watching very real women . Most of the women I saw on TV did n't seem like people I actually knew . They felt like ideas of what women are . They never got to be nasty or competitive or hungry or angry . They were often just the loving wife or the nice friend . But who gets to be the bitch ? Who gets to be the three - dimensional woman ? '' - Rhimes on Cristina - Meredith friendship . '' E ! at the time of Sandra Oh 's exit wrote , `` In Grey 's Anatomy 's 10 - year history , the doctor duo has been through a lot together : weddings , deaths , plane crashes , bomb threats , shooting , you name it , they 've lived ( and danced ) through it . '' and added , `` And with the three words , `` You 're my person . '' Cristina Yang and Meredith Grey solidified their status as the small screen 's best best friends ever . '' Marama Whyte of Hypable wrote , `` Critically , the key relationship in Meredith 's life was not her romance with Derek Shepherd , but her passionate , indestructible , absolutely enviable friendship with Cristina . Talk about relationship goals ; who wants McDreamy when Cristina Yang could be your person . These two were the real powerhouse , and Shonda Rhimes did n't shy away from making the audience remember this . Derek was the love of her life , but Cristina was her soul mate . More than anyone else , Cristina challenged Meredith , was honest with her , and inspired her . For these reasons , it was Cristina who was constantly the source of Meredith 's character development , not Derek . '' Pompeo 's character has also been used to define the image a strong woman , Bustle previewing the 12th season wrote , `` Meredith Grey has always been capable of being on her own . Grey 's Anatomy is about Meredith 's journey . Men and romantic interests are a part of her life , but they are not the priority . She does n't need McDreamy . Grey 's Anatomy does n't need McDreamy . So even if the writers do decide to create a new love interest for Ms. Grey ( Martin Henderson , perhaps ? ) , it would n't matter . I have faith that the show 's writers will do this storyline justice , because TV needs more strong single women -- and Meredith seems like the perfect candidate . '' The site added , `` This past season was almost a trial run for a McDreamy-less Grey 's Anatomy . When Derek left for Washington D.C. to pursue his research , Meredith stayed behind and focused on her own career . She did n't chase him . Her priority were her children and the Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital . Meredith showed that she would never put aside her own dreams and aspirations for a man , and I believe that this wo n't change after Derek 's death .

Killer Within - wikipedia Killer Within Jump to : navigation , search `` Killer Within '' The Walking Dead episode Carl prepares to put down his mother before reanimation after giving birth . Episode no . Season 3 Episode 4 Directed by Guy Ferland Written by Sang Kyu Kim Original air date November 4 , 2012 ( 2012 - 11 - 04 ) Guest appearance ( s ) IronE Singleton as Theodore `` T - Dog '' Douglas Emily Kinney as Beth Greene Lew Temple as Axel Markice Moore as Andrew Vincent M. Ward as Oscar Episode chronology ← Previous `` Walk with Me '' Next → `` Say the Word '' The Walking Dead ( season 3 ) List of The Walking Dead episodes `` Killer Within '' is the fourth episode of the third season and 23rd episode overall of the post-apocalyptic horror television series The Walking Dead . It originally aired on AMC in the United States on November 4 , 2012 , and was written by Sang Kyu Kim and directed by Guy Ferland . The episode marked Sarah Wayne Callies and IronE Singleton 's final appearances as Lori Grimes and Theodore `` T - Dog '' Douglas and as regular actors on the show . Most television critics positively reviewed the episode , applauding its bleak undertones and the performances . However , some commentators criticized the narrative ploys and the direction taken in the program . `` Killer Within '' was viewed by 9.27 million viewers , including 4.9 percent of those in the 18 to 49 demographic upon its initial broadcast in the United States . Contents ( hide ) 1 Plot 2 Production 3 Themes 4 Reception 4.1 Ratings 4.2 Critical response 5 References 6 External links Plot ( edit ) Outside the prison , an unidentified individual lures a group of walkers towards the prison , breaking open the front gate 's lock to allow them inside . In Woodbury , Michonne ( Danai Gurira ) is suspicious of how The Governor ( David Morrissey ) recovered supplies from a nearby National Guard camp , but he refuses to discuss it . She expresses her concerns with Andrea ( Laurie Holden ) , and believes they should leave and head for the coast . Andrea would rather stay , and provides information on the Greene farmstead to allow Merle ( Michael Rooker ) to look for his brother Daryl . The Governor tells Meryl he will allow the search once Meryl obtains more concrete information . Andrea begins to become romantically involved with The Governor . At the prison , Rick Grimes ( Andrew Lincoln ) discusses with the others about making the prison their permanent home . The two remaining prisoners Axel ( Lew Temple ) and Oscar ( Vincent Ward ) request to join the group , but Rick , still distrustful , informs them of his intent to send them away at the end of the week . The group gathers as Hershel Greene ( Scott Wilson ) takes his first steps after the amputation of his foot . Suddenly , walkers swarm the courtyard , scattering the group . T - Dog ( IronE Singleton ) races after Carol ( Melissa McBride ) and sacrifices himself by barreling into a walker horde to let her escape . Rick , Glenn ( Steven Yeun ) , and Daryl ( Norman Reedus ) find the gate 's lock broken and re-secure it to prevent further walkers from entering . Rick accuses Axel and Oscar of the treachery , but an alarm begins sounding due to activation of a backup generator , potentially drawing more walkers . Rick realizes the prisoners can not be at fault and lets them lead him to the generator room . There they find Andrew ( Markice Moore ) , whom Rick had left for dead , as the instigator . Andrew is about to kill Rick when Oscar shoots him , and then turns the gun over to Rick . They stop the generator and disable the alarm . Elsewhere , Carl ( Chandler Riggs ) covers for his mother Lori ( Sarah Wayne Callies ) and Maggie ( Lauren Cohan ) as they take shelter in a boiler room . Lori has gone into labor , but is bleeding profusely during her contractions . Lori demands Maggie perform a lethal Caesarean section to deliver the child . The baby is delivered safely , but Lori dies ; Carl takes a moment to mourn before shooting her in the head to prevent reanimation . With the walkers dealt with , the group rejoins in the courtyard , though Carol is still missing . Rick sees Carl and Maggie emerging from a cell block with the baby , but realizes Lori is not with them , and becomes hysterical . Production ( edit ) Sarah Wayne Callies ( left ) and IronE Singleton ( right ) made their final regular appearances in `` Killer Within '' . `` Killer Within '' was written by Sang Kyu Kim . Guy Ferland directed , his second such credit for The Walking Dead 's third season . Ferland previously directed episode 3 , `` Walk with Me '' . `` Killer Within '' signified the final appearances of Sarah Wayne Callies ( Lori ) and IronE Singleton ( T - Dog ) as regulars . Although Callies suggested Lori 's death to Frank Darabont on numerous occasions , Glen Mazzara made the decision to kill her off . The writing team chose to advance the revelation into the earlier part of the season , to provide `` fresh '' opportunities for the staff . Mazzara and Callies conversed minimally about how Lori would die , but Callies opted to wait until the script 's release to acquire more insight , since her character `` does n't know she 's going to die '' . She rehearsed and revised the dialogue with Mazzara for a couple of weeks . Some of the adjustments , Mazzara said , were n't initially in the script . `` I just thought , it belongs there , '' Callies stated . To prepare for the death scene , Callies viewed the Stanley Kubrick - directed war film Full Metal Jacket ( 1987 ) with Ferland . She liked Arliss Howard 's performance and described his character 's demise as a brisk , `` kind of strange death '' . Callies did not practice her character 's death with Riggs . Instead , the final day enabled them to possess `` so many emotions in ( their ) hearts '' and to deliver an emotionally poignant and raw performance . Producers trained Cohan to perform a Caesarian in preparation for the scene . Callies wore a leotard-esque rig resembling a pregnant abdomen ; a prosthetic abdomen was later glued onto the suit . This process took approximately one hour to complete . Inside the prosthetic abdomen was additional layering that imitated a uterus , which held the fetus . An insert shot was taken while the abdomen was sliced open , emphasizing the uncontrollable blood flow . The liquid was pumped through a small tube attached to the front of the suit . Singleton was informed about his character 's fate before production of the third season began and had to avoid arousing any suspicion from the public , particularly T - Dog 's fans . Singleton said about his character 's `` heroic '' death : `` When I read ( the script ) , I was thankful that he would go out as a hero . It made me feel really appreciated . '' Themes ( edit ) The central theme in `` Killer Within '' is death . T - Dog sacrifices himself to allow Carol to escape , while Lori dies after an improvised operation , and Andrew dies while trying to kill Rick . Kirkman wanted Rick and Carl to develop a different psyche during the season and Lori 's death would serve as a catalyst for both characters ' development . Rick 's anguish manifests in much of the episode 's concluding scene . Kirkman agreed , proclaiming that not only was it inevitable , but it also develops Rick 's character . Sarah Wayne Callies described her takes on the scene and its significance to TVLine : `` I thought it was brilliant . I thought it was brilliantly shot to have Carl strong and cold in the foreground and Rick collapsed . I know they shot it a bunch of different ways . There were a bunch of different ideas about how that scene could play . But it was beautiful because in some ways it 's the apotheosis of Carl . It 's this young boy having just performed a great act of both mercy and violence ( against ) his mother recognizing that dad 's not going to be able to get me through this right now , so I 'll be the strong one . '' Both T - Dog and Lori 's deaths were heroic by design and reflected their personal lives . Mazzara stated that T - Dog 's stint as a football player became evident as `` he just heroically acts as a linebacker and just clotheslines these walkers , even at his own expense . '' Regarding Lori 's demise , he professed that childbirth was heroic : `` That heroism of a woman giving birth and paying a price and just being focused on the survival of her children is a beautiful story , and a story that 's actually taken place millions of times throughout history . '' In his article for Entertainment Weekly , Darren Franich linked facets of Lori 's death to the Book of Job and suggested that it acted as a `` triple '' catharsis for the character . Franich perceived Lori 's extramarital affair with Shane Walsh ( Jon Bernthal ) as an allegorical allusion to Original Sin -- a Christian theological concept of damnation -- which then transitions into an `` optimistic New Testament vision of hope '' as Lori comes to terms with her destiny . `` She was confident , and fearless , and heroic , '' Franich concluded in his review for `` Killer Within '' . Hudson observed tribalism as a trope in `` Killer Within '' , which he ascribed to the reluctance of Maggie , Rick , and others in the group to allow Oscar and Axel into their clan . The Los Angeles Times journalist noted that these characters had been severed from the cultural and social fabric of their past civilization for so long that they have reverted to `` traveling in a small , tightly knit group , hunting and gathering , and regarding anyone who is n't part of their it as a deadly threat . '' Reception ( edit ) Ratings ( edit ) The episode 's initial broadcast attracted 9.27 million viewers , significantly down from the previous episode , which amassed 10.51 million viewers . `` Killer Within '' acquired a 4.9 rating in the 18 - 49 demographic . Despite steep decreases in weekly ratings , the episode was the night 's top cable program in terms of ratings , beating out Real Housewives of Atlanta and Breaking Amish by a considerable margin . In the United Kingdom , `` Killer Within '' garnered 893,000 viewers , the most - viewed television program of the week on FX . Critical response ( edit ) Commentators applauded Andrew Lincoln 's performance in the episode . `` Killer Within '' was lauded by television commentators . The Washington Post entertainment journalist Jen Chaney said that `` Killer Within '' offered the `` most emotionally upsetting development '' in the series to date , a sentiment echoed by Time 's Nate Rawlings , who argued that the episode was The Walking Dead 's most powerful installment since `` Beside the Dying Fire '' . Bex Schwartz wrote in her review for Rolling Stone magazine that `` Killer Within '' was the program 's best episode to date . The Huffington Post 's Maureen Ryan described it as a `` taut , terrifically paced hour '' with an `` incredibly powerful ending '' , while Eric Goldman of IGN called it `` an incredibly tense ( and ) unrelenting '' episode in his 9.5 out of 10 review . The fates of Lori and T - Dog garnered favorable reviews from television commentators . According to HitFix writer Alan Sepinwall , the moment when Lori and Carl share their goodbyes was the most heartbreaking event since the ending of the second season episode `` Pretty Much Dead Already '' . Los Angeles Times columnist Laura Hudson felt it was a grim departure for a character who endured long bouts of grief for reasons beyond her control . Erik Kain from Forbes magazine found Lori 's death especially difficult to watch , and was shocked by T - Dog 's `` sudden '' death despite the fact that he `` was never as prominent a figure '' on the program . `` As hard as these deaths were to watch , '' Kain wrote , `` they also give me faith in the show . '' Even though he stated that T - Dog died `` a hero 's death '' , Michael Rapoport of The Wall Street Journal concluded that Lori 's `` gut - churning '' demise was the more memorable . Lori 's demise was featured in The Huffington Post 's list of `` The Biggest ' OMG ' TV Moments of 2012 '' , and placed nineteenth in Slate 's article covering the year 's most noteworthy television moments . Journalist Chris Kirk said that the segment was `` utterly surprising '' , and pointed out that the writers beguiled viewers by shedding light onto Lori 's crumbled relationship with Rick . Some reviewers presented more negative critiques . Ted Pigeon of Slant Magazine asserted that , although the latter half of the installment contained some of the show 's most touching material , the methodology behind its narratives was `` all too apparent '' . Zack Handlen of The A.V. Club in his review felt the episode `` stumble ( d ) '' in how T - Dog and Lori were eliminated and in how the Woodbury storyline repeated what was already known . Handlen commented in his B+ review that `` killing T - Dog and Lori earned the show an immediate thrill , but it also meant crossing off two potential sources of drama , people who had a history on the series , however thin or poorly developed that history might have been . '' The performances of The Walking Dead ensemble was a frequent topic in the critiques . Lincoln 's performance received kudos from various media outlets including HitFix , Rolling Stone , and Slate . To Goldman , Lincoln 's collapsing onto the ground was a `` suitably powerful and evocative '' gesture that epitomized the essence of the series . In addition , the IGN writer commended Callies , Riggs , and Cohan for their performances in `` Killer Within '' . Sepinwall added that Callies `` absolutely sold '' the portrayal of a mother saying `` goodbye to the son who had to grow up much too quickly '' .

It is perhaps best remembered as America 's first immigration station ( predating Ellis Island ) , where more than 8 million people arrived in the U.S. from 1855 to 1890 . Over its active life , it has also functioned as a beer garden , exhibition hall , theater , and public aquarium , and currently is a national monument .

Construction began in 1808 and was completed in 1811 . The fort , known as West Battery ( sometimes Southwest Battery ) , was designed by architects John McComb , Jr. and Jonathan Williams . It was built on a small artificial island just off shore . West Battery was intended to complement the three - tiered Castle Williams on Governors Island , which was East Battery , to defend New York City from British forces in the tensions that marked the run - up to the War of 1812 , but it never saw action in that or any war . Subsequent landfill expanded Battery Park , and the fort was incorporated into the mainland of Manhattan Island . As with all historic areas administered by the National Park Service , Castle Clinton National Monument was listed on the National Register of Historic Places ( October 15 , 1966 ) . 19th century ( edit ) The Bay and Harbor of New York by Samuel Waugh ( 1814 -- 1885 ) , depicting the castle in 1848 First Appearance of Jenny Lind in America , at Castle Garden , September 11 , 1850 ( Engraving by Currier and Ives ) Aerial view illustration of Manhattan , showing Castle Garden at its tip , ca . 1880 The New York City Aquarium was once housed at Castle Garden ( image before 1923 ) West Battery was renamed Castle Clinton in 1815 , its current official name , in honor of New York City Mayor DeWitt Clinton ( who eventually became Governor of New York ) . The United States Army stopped using the fort in 1821 , and it was leased to New York City as a place of public entertainment . It opened as Castle Garden on July 3 , 1824 , a name by which it was popularly known for most of its existence , even to the present time . It served in turn as a promenade , beer garden / restaurant , exhibition hall , opera house , and theater . Designed as an open - air structure , it was eventually roofed over to accommodate these uses . In 1850 , the castle was the site of two concerts given for charity by the Swedish soprano Jenny Lind to initiate her American tour . A year later , European dancing star Lola Montez performed her notorious `` tarantula dance '' in Castle Garden . In 1853 -- 54 , Louis - Antoine Jullien , the eccentric French conductor and composer of light music , gave dozens of very successful concerts mixing classical and light music . The Max Maretzek Italian Opera Company notably staged the New York premieres of Gaetano Donizetti 's Marino Faliero on June 17 , 1851 , and Giuseppe Verdi 's Luisa Miller on July 20 , 1854 at Castle Garden . Immigration holding center ( edit ) In the first half of the 19th century , most immigrants arriving in New York City landed at docks on the east side of the tip of Manhattan , around South Street . On August 1 , 1855 , Castle Clinton became the Emigrant Landing Depot , functioning as the New York State immigrant processing center ( the nation 's first such entity ) . It was operated by the state until April 18 , 1890 , when the U.S. government assumed control of immigration processing , soon moving the center to the larger , more isolated Ellis Island facility on January 2 , 1892 . The new facility was needed because immigrants were known to carry diseases , which led to epidemics of cholera and smallpox . After many unnecessary deaths , and scandals over immigration workers cheating and stealing from immigrants , the immigration center was moved to Ellis Island . Most of Castle Clinton 's immigrant passenger records were destroyed in a fire that consumed the first structures on Ellis Island on 15 June 1897 , but it is generally accepted that over 8 million immigrants ( and perhaps as many as 12 million ) were processed during its operation . Called Kesselgarten by Yiddish - speaking Eastern European Jews , a Kesselgarten became a generic term for any situation that was noisy , confusing or chaotic , or where a `` babel '' of languages was spoken ( a reference to the multitude of languages heard spoken by the immigrants from many countries at the site ) . Prominent persons associated with the administration of the immigrant station included Gulian Crommelin Verplanck , Friedrich Kapp , and John Alexander Kennedy . 20th century -- present ( edit ) From 1896 to 1941 , Castle Garden was the site of the New York City Aquarium . For many years , it was the city 's most popular attraction , drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors each year . The structure was extensively altered , and roofed over to a height of several stories , though the original masonry fort remained . In 1941 , the politically powerful Park Commissioner Robert Moses wanted to tear the structure down completely , claiming that this was necessary to build a crossing from the Battery to Brooklyn . The public outcry at the loss of a popular recreation site and landmark stymied his effort at demolition , but the aquarium was closed , and not replaced until Moses opened a new facility on Coney Island in 1957 . See Brooklyn - Battery bridge . Due to the efforts of Albert S. Bard and other civic reformers , the Castle was saved , and finally became a national monument . Although Castle Garden was designated a national monument on August 12 , 1946 , the law did not take effect until July 18 , 1950 , when the legislature and the governor of New York ( Thomas Dewey ) formally ceded ownership of the property to the federal government .

where did immigrants enter new york before ellis island
[ "Castle Clinton or Fort Clinton, previously known as Castle Garden, is a circular sandstone fort now located in Battery Park, in Manhattan, New York City. It is perhaps best remembered as America's first immigration station (predating Ellis Island), where more than 8 million people arrived in the U.S. from 1855 to 1890. Over its active life, it has also functioned as a beer garden, exhibition hall, theater, and public aquarium, and currently is a national monument." ]

Flag of New Zealand
Flag of New Zealand - wikipedia Flag of New Zealand Jump to : navigation , search New Zealand Use National flag and state ensign Proportion 1 : 2 Adopted 24 March 1902 In use since 1869 Design A Blue Ensign with the Southern Cross of four white - edged red five - pointed stars centered on the outer half of the flag . The flag of New Zealand outside the Beehive in Wellington The flag of New Zealand is a defaced Blue Ensign with the Union Flag in the canton , and four red stars with white borders to the right . The stars ' pattern represents the asterism within the constellation of Crux , the Southern Cross . New Zealand 's first flag , the flag of the United Tribes of New Zealand , was adopted in 1834 , six years before New Zealand became a British colony following the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840 . Chosen by an assembly of Māori chiefs at Waitangi in 1834 , the flag was of a St George 's Cross with another cross in the canton containing four stars on a blue field . After the formation of the colony in 1840 , British ensigns began to be used . The current flag was designed and adopted for use on Colonial ships in 1869 , was quickly adopted as New Zealand 's national flag , and given statutory recognition in 1902 . For several decades there has been debate about changing the flag . In 2016 , a two - stage binding referendum on a flag change took place with voting on the second final stage closing on 24 March . In this referendum , the country voted to keep the existing flag by 57 % to 43 % . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 1.1 Flag of the United Tribes 1.2 Union Flag 1.3 Flags based on defaced Blue Ensign 1.4 Flown in battle 2 Legislation 2.1 Entrenchment proposal 3 As a vehicle flag 4 Debate 4.1 2015 -- 16 referendums 5 Similar flags 6 Other flags of New Zealand 7 See also 8 Notes 9 References 10 External links History ( edit ) Flag of the United Tribes ( edit ) The flag pole at Waitangi , flying ( left -- right ) the Flag of the United Tribes of New Zealand , the Ensign of the Royal New Zealand Navy and the Union Flag , 5 February 2006 . The need for a flag of New Zealand first became clear when the trading ship Sir George Murray , built in the Hokianga , was seized by Customs officials in the port of Sydney . The ship had been sailing without a flag , a violation of British navigation laws . New Zealand was not a colony at the time and had no flag . Among the passengers on the ship were two high - ranking Māori chiefs , believed to be Patuone and Taonui . The ship 's detention was reported as arousing indignation among the Māori population . Unless a flag was selected , ships could continue to be seized . The first flag of New Zealand was adopted 9 ( or 20 ) March 1834 by a vote made by the United Tribes of New Zealand , a meeting of Māori chiefs convened at Waitangi by British resident James Busby . The United Tribes later made the Declaration of Independence of New Zealand at Waitangi in 1835 . Three flags were proposed , all designed by the missionary Henry Williams , who was to play a major role in the translation of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840 . The chiefs rejected two other proposals which included the Union Flag , in favour of a modified St George 's Cross or the White Ensign , which was the flag used by Henry Williams on the Church Missionary Society ships . This flag became known as the flag of the United Tribes of New Zealand and was officially gazetted in New South Wales in August 1835 , with a general description not mentioning fimbriation or the number of points on the stars . The need for a flag was pressing , not only because New Zealand - built ships were being impounded in Sydney for not flying a national flag , but also as a symbol of the independence declared by the Māori chiefs . The flag is still flown on the flag pole at Waitangi , and can be seen on Waitangi Day . Flag of the United Tribes Proposed flag not adopted by Māori ; it included the Union Flag and lacked sufficient red . Initial design of the United Tribes flag . The Flag of the United Tribes of New Zealand . Union flag ( edit ) After the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi , the British Union Flag was used , although the former United Tribes flag was still used by a number of ships from New Zealand and in many cases on land . The New Zealand Company settlement at Wellington , for example , continued to use the United Tribes flag until ordered to replace it by Governor William Hobson in May 1840 ( following his declaration of British sovereignty ) . Flags based on defaced blue Ensign ( edit ) Lieutenant Albert Hastings Markham , designer of the flag of New Zealand . The first flag of New Zealand to be based on the British blue ensign was introduced in 1867 following the Colonial Navy Defence Act 1865 , which required all ships owned by colonial governments fly the defaced Royal Navy blue ensign with a colonial badge . New Zealand did not have a colonial badge , or indeed a coat of arms of its own at this stage , and so the letters `` NZ '' were simply added to the blue ensign . In 1869 the First Lieutenant of the Royal Navy vessel Blanche , Albert Hastings Markham , submitted a design to Sir George Bowen , the Governor of New Zealand , for a national ensign for New Zealand . His proposal , incorporating the Southern Cross , was approved . It was initially used only on government ships , but was adopted as the de facto national flag . To end confusion between various designs of the flag , the Liberal Government passed the Ensign and Code Signals Bill , which was approved by King Edward VII on 24 March 1902 , declaring the flag as New Zealand 's national flag . The United Tribes flag design also features on the back of the Second Boer War medals presented to soldiers who served in the war , which indicates that the United Tribes flag was used widely in New Zealand until around this time . Flags based on defaced Blue ensign The Blue Ensign . The flag of New Zealand , 1867 -- 1869 . Code Signals Flag , 1899 . The current flag , formally adopted in 1902 . Flown in battle ( edit ) One of the first recorded accounts of the New Zealand national Blue Ensign flag being flown in battle was at Quinn 's Post , Gallipoli , in 1915 . It was not , however , flown officially . The flag was brought back to New Zealand by Private John Taylor , Canterbury Battalion . The first time the Flag of New Zealand was flown in a naval battle and the first time officially in any battle , was from the HMS Achilles during the Battle of the River Plate in 1939 . Legislation ( edit ) The national flag is defined in legislation as `` the symbol of the Realm , Government , and people of New Zealand '' and like most other laws , can be changed by a simple majority in Parliament . The flag proportion is 1 : 2 and the colours are red ( Pantone 186C ) , blue ( Pantone 280C ) and white . Entrenchment proposal ( edit ) In March 1994 the Prime Minister of New Zealand Jim Bolger made statements supporting a move towards a New Zealand republic . In response Christian Democrat MP Graeme Lee introduced a Flags , Anthems , Emblems , and Names Protection Amendment Bill . If passed , the Bill would have entrenched the Act that governs the flag and added New Zealand 's anthems , requiring a majority of 65 percent of votes in Parliament before any future legislation could change the flag . The Bill passed its first reading but was defeated at its second reading , 26 votes to 37 . As a vehicle flag ( edit ) The National Flag can only ( officially ) be used as a vehicle flag by the Prime Minister of New Zealand , NZ Government Ministers , NZ Ambassadors , and NZ High Commissioners . No distinguishing defacement or fringing of the flag is used . Debate ( edit ) The silver fern flag of the 2015 referendum Main article : New Zealand flag debate Debate on keeping or changing the New Zealand flag started before May 1973 , when a remit to change the flag was voted down by the Labour Party at their national conference . In November 1979 Minister of Internal Affairs Allan Highet suggested that the design of the flag should be changed , and sought an artist to design a new flag with a silver fern on the fly , but the proposal attracted little support . In 1998 Prime Minister Jenny Shipley backed Cultural Affairs Minister Marie Hasler 's call for the flag to be changed . Shipley , along with the New Zealand Tourism Board , backed the quasi-national silver fern flag , using a white silver fern on a black background as a possible alternative flag , along the lines of the Canadian Maple Leaf flag . On 5 August 2010 Labour list MP Charles Chauvel introduced a member 's bill for a consultative commission followed by a referendum on the New Zealand flag . 2015 -- 16 Referendums ( edit ) Main article : New Zealand flag referendums , 2015 -- 16 On 11 March 2014 , Prime Minister John Key announced in a speech his intention to hold a referendum , during the next parliamentary term , on adopting a new flag . Following National 's re-election the details of the two referendums were announced . The first referendum was set for November 2015 allowing voters to decide on a preferred design from five choices . The second referendum would see the preferred design voted on against the current flag in March 2016 . Under the New Zealand Flag Referendums Bill , in the event that the flag were to change , the current flag ( described as the `` 1902 flag '' ) of New Zealand may continue to be used , and is `` recognised as a flag of historical significance . '' Official documents depicting the current flag , such as drivers ' licences , would continue to be valid and would be replaced through matter of course ( e.g. , driver licence renewals ) . On 11 December 2015 , preliminary results were announced for the first referendum . The blue and black design , with a silver fern and red stars , was the winning flag . This flag design did not win the second referendum , as preliminary results announced on 24 March 2016 showed the current flag was chosen to remain the New Zealand flag. 56.7 % were in favour of retaining the flag , with a voter turnout of 67.3 % . 43.3 % were in favour of changing the flag to the Lockwood design . Only six of the 71 electorates voted in favour of changing the flag . Similar flags ( edit ) This section does not cite any sources .

( January 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The New Zealand flag was the first national flag to incorporate the stars of the Southern Cross constellation , and remains distinctive as the only national flag that includes only those stars from the constellation that actually form the cross itself . The Australian flag adopted in 1901 also has the Union Flag in the canton and the Southern Cross on the fly . The cross on the New Zealand flag is composed of the four prime stars of the Southern Cross constellation , each being a red five pointed star with a white outline . The Australian flag has six white stars , five of which have seven points ( the Commonwealth Star ) and a five pointed star , Epsilon Crucis , the smaller star of the Southern Cross constellation which does not form part of the actual cross itself is also included . Australia 's flag features a large Commonwealth Star below the Union Flag as it is a symbol of Australia . Many other flags also contain the Southern Cross , some as far back as the 1823 / 24 National Colonial Flag for Australia .

In its seventh season , Star Trek : The Next Generation became the first and only syndicated television series to be nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series .

( See Starship Enterprise for other ships with the name and / or registry ) . The series is set about 70 years after the final mission of the original Enterprise crew under the command of James T. Kirk . The Federation has undergone significant internal changes in its quest to explore and seek out new life , adding new degrees of complexity and controversy to its methods , especially those focused on the Prime Directive . The Klingon Empire and the United Federation of Planets have ceased wartime hostilities and become galactic allies , while more sinister foes such as the Romulans and the Borg take precedence on the series . The Enterprise is commanded by Captain Jean - Luc Picard and is staffed by first officer Commander William Riker , second officer / operations manager Data , security chief Tasha Yar , ship 's counselor Deanna Troi , chief medical officer Dr. Beverly Crusher and her son Wesley Crusher , conn officer Lieutenant Geordi La Forge , and junior officer Lieutenant Worf . The death of Lieutenant Yar in the twenty - third episode of the first season ( 1987 - 1988 ) of the series prompts an internal shuffle of personnel , making Worf official chief of security . In season two , La Forge is promoted to chief engineer and Katherine Pulaski briefly takes over for Beverly Crusher . The series begins with the crew of the Enterprise - D put on trial by an omnipotent being known as Q , who became a recurring character . The god - like entity threatens the extinction of mankind for being a race of savages , forcing them to solve a mystery at nearby Farpoint Station to prove their worthiness to be spared . After successfully solving the mystery and avoiding disaster , the crew officially departs on its mission to explore strange new worlds . Subsequent stories focus on the discovery of new life and sociological and political relationships with alien cultures , as well as exploring the human condition . Several new species are introduced as recurring antagonists , including the Ferengi , the Cardassians , and the Borg . Throughout their adventures , Picard and his crew are often forced to face and live with the consequences of difficult choices . The series ended in its seventh season with a two - part episode `` All Good Things ... '' , which brought the events of the series full circle to the original confrontation with Q. An interstellar anomaly that threatens all life in the universe forces Picard to leap from his present , past , and future to combat the threat . Picard was successfully able to show to Q that humanity could think outside of the confines of perception and theorize on new possibilities while still being prepared to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the greater good . The series ended with the crew of the Enterprise portrayed as feeling more like a family and paved the way for four consecutive motion pictures that continued the theme and mission of the series .

'' ( Two - part episode ) Production ( edit ) Some of the Cast of Next Generation . ( L to R : LeVar Burton , Michael Dorn , Marina Sirtis , Brent Spiner , and Wil Wheaton ) in 2012 Background ( edit ) By 1986 , 20 years after Star Trek 's debut on NBC , the franchise 's longevity amazed Paramount Pictures executives . Chairman Frank Mancuso Sr. and others described it as the studio 's `` crown jewel '' , a `` priceless asset '' that `` must not be squandered '' . The series was the most popular syndicated television program 17 years after cancellation , and the Harve Bennett - produced Star Trek films did well at the box office . William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy 's salary demands for Star Trek IV : The Voyage Home ( 1986 ) caused the studio to plan for a new Star Trek television series , as it had thought to do in 1977 with Star Trek : Phase II before making the films . Paramount executives worried that a new show could hurt the demand for the films , but decided that it would increase their appeal on videocassette and cable , and that a show with unknown actors would be more profitable than paying the films ' actors ' large salaries . Roddenberry initially declined to be involved , but came on board as creator after being unhappy with early conceptual work . Star Trek : The Next Generation was announced on October 10 , 1986 , and its cast in May 1987 . Paramount executive Rick Berman was assigned to the show at Roddenberry 's request . Roddenberry hired a number of Star Trek veterans , including Bob Justman , D.C. Fontana , Eddie Milkis , and David Gerrold . Early proposals for the series included one in which some of the original series cast might appear as `` elder statesmen '' , and Roddenberry speculated as late as October 1986 that the new series might not even use a spaceship , as `` people might travel by some ( other ) means '' 100 years after the USS Enterprise ( NCC - 1701 ) . A more lasting change was his new belief that workplace interpersonal conflict would no longer exist in the future ; thus , the new series did not have parallels to the frequent `` crusty banter '' between Kirk , Spock , and Leonard McCoy . According to series actor Patrick Stewart , Berman was more receptive than Roddenberry to the show addressing political issues . The series ' music theme combined the fanfare from the original series theme by Alexander Courage with Jerry Goldsmith 's theme for Star Trek : The Motion Picture ( 1979 ) . Some early episodes ' plots derived from outlines created for Star Trek : Phase II . Additionally , some sets used in the Original Series - era films were redressed for The Next Generation , and in turn used for subsequent Original Series films . Part of the transporter room set in TNG was used in the original Star Trek 's transporter set . Many production details , such as LCARS computer interfaces and starship design , were carried through in the production of subsequent spin - offs . A major focus of the show is the faster - than - light starship visiting exoplanets , which , although some had speculated to exist , were still in the realm of science fiction when show started in the 1987 . However , by the early 1990s more claims were coming out including for PSR B1257 + 12 , and a year after the show ended there was a more definitive detection of planets around 51 Pegasi . Another example is the ubiquitous use of hand - held tablet computers , at the time a fictional technology props for the actors but became a more practical and common computing device by the 2010s Syndication and profitability ( edit ) Despite Star Trek 's proven success , NBC and ABC only offered to consider pilot scripts for the new series , and CBS offered to air a miniseries that could become a series if it did well . That the Big Three television networks treated Paramount 's most appealing and valuable property as they would any other series offended the studio . Fox wanted the show to help launch the new network , but wanted it by March 1987 , and would only commit to 13 episodes instead of a full season . The unsuccessful negotiations convinced the studio that it could only protect Star Trek with full control . Paramount increased and accelerated the show 's profitability by choosing to instead broadcast it in first - run syndication on independent stations ( whose numbers had more than tripled since 1980 ) and Big Three network affiliates . The studio offered the show to local stations for free as barter syndication . The stations sold five minutes of commercial time to local advertisers and Paramount sold the remaining seven minutes to national advertisers . Stations had to commit to purchasing reruns in the future , and only those that aired the new show could purchase the popular reruns of the original series . The studio 's strategy succeeded . Most of the 150 stations airing reruns of the original Star Trek wanted to prevent a competitor from airing the new show ; ultimately , 210 stations covering 90 % of the United States became part of Paramount 's informal nationwide network for TNG . In early October 1987 , more than 50 network affiliates pre-empted their own shows for the series pilot , `` Encounter at Farpoint '' . One station predicted that `` ' Star Trek ' promises to be one of the most successful programs of the season , network or syndicated . '' TNG helped stations like WZZM in Grand Rapids , Michigan , who made a decision show The Next Generation . The new show indeed performed well ; the pilot 's ratings were higher than those of many network programs , and ratings remained comparable to network shows by the end of the first season , despite the handicap of each station airing the show on a different day and time , often outside prime time . By the end of the first season , Paramount reportedly received $1 million for advertising per episode , more than the roughly $800,000 fee that networks typically paid for a one - hour show ; by 1992 , when the budget for each episode had risen to almost $2 million , the studio earned $90 million from advertising annually from first - run episodes , with each 30 - second commercial selling for $115,000 to $150,000 . The show had a 40 % return on investment for Paramount , with $30 to $60 million in annual upfront net profit for first - run episodes and another $70 million for stripping rights for each of the about 100 episodes then available , so did not need overseas sales to be successful . Season one ( edit ) Main article : Star Trek : The Next Generation ( season 1 ) Gates and Denise were in Season 1 as Doctor Crusher and Tasha Yar , respectively , but were removed for Season 2 . The Next Generation was shot on 35mm film , and the budget for each episode was $1.3 million , among the largest for a one - hour television drama . While the staff enjoyed the creative freedom gained by independence from a broadcast network 's Standards and Practices department , the first season was marked by a `` revolving door '' of writers , with Gerrold , Fontana , and others quitting after disputes with Roddenberry . Roddenberry `` virtually rewrote '' the first 15 episodes because of his `` dogmatic '' intention to depict human interaction `` without drawing on the baser motives of greed , lust , and power '' . Writers found the show 's `` bible '' constricting and ridiculous and could n't deal with Roddenberry 's ego and treatment of them . It stated , for example , that `` regular characters all share a feeling of being part of a band of brothers and sisters . As in the original ' Star Trek , ' we invite the audience to share the same feeling of affection for our characters . '' Mark Bourne of The DVD Journal wrote of season one : `` A typical episode relied on trite plot points , clumsy allegories , dry and stilted dialogue , or characterization that was taking too long to feel relaxed and natural . '' Other targets of criticism included poor special effects and plots being resolved by the deus ex machina of Wesley Crusher saving the ship . However , Patrick Stewart 's acting skills won praise , and critics noted that characters were given greater potential for development than those of the original series . Both actors and producers were unsure whether Trekkies loyal to the original show would accept the new one , but one critic stated as early as October 1987 that The Next Generation , not the movies or the original show , `` is the real ' Star Trek ' now '' . While the events of most episodes of season one were self - contained , many developments important to the show as a whole occurred during the season . The recurring nemesis Q was introduced in the pilot , the alien Ferengi had their sentinel showing in `` The Last Outpost '' , the holodeck was introduced , and the romantic backstory between William Riker and Deanna Troi was investigated . `` The Naked Now '' , one of the few episodes that depicted Roddenberry 's fascination ( as seen in the show 's bible ) with sex in the future , became a cast favorite . Later episodes in the season set the stage for serial plots . The episode `` Datalore '' introduced Data 's evil twin brother Lore , who made several more appearances in episodes in subsequent seasons . `` Coming of Age '' dealt with Wesley Crusher 's efforts to get into Starfleet Academy while also hinting at the threat to Starfleet later faced in `` Conspiracy '' . `` Heart of Glory '' explored Worf 's character , Klingon culture , and the uneasy truce between the Federation and the Klingon Empire , three themes that played major roles in later episodes . Tasha Yar left the show in `` Skin of Evil '' , becoming the first regular Star Trek character to die permanently ( although the character was seen again in two later episodes ) in either series or film . The season finale , `` The Neutral Zone '' , established the presence of two of TNG ' most enduring villains : the Romulans , making their first appearance since the Original Series , and , through foreshadowing , the Borg . The premiere became the first television episode to be nominated for a Hugo Award since 1972 . Six of the season 's episodes were each nominated for an Emmy Award. `` 11001001 '' won for Outstanding Sound Editing for a Series , `` The Big Goodbye '' won for Outstanding Costume Design for a Series , and `` Conspiracy '' won for Outstanding Achievement in Makeup for a Series . `` The Big Goodbye '' also won a Peabody Award , the first syndicated program and only Star Trek episode to do so . The top episodes for Nielsen ratings were `` Encounter at Farpoint '' with 15.7 , and the next highest was `` Justice '' with 12.7 . Debuted 1987 - 1988 Season two ( edit ) Main article : Star Trek : The Next Generation ( season 2 ) The series underwent significant changes during its second season . Beverly Crusher was replaced as Chief Medical Officer by Katherine Pulaski , played by Diana Muldaur , who had been a guest star in `` Return to Tomorrow '' and `` Is There in Truth No Beauty ? '' , two episodes from the original Star Trek series . The ship 's recreational area , Ten - Forward , and its mysterious bartender / advisor , Guinan , played by Whoopi Goldberg , appeared for the first time . Another change was in the opening theme , wherein at the end is a short fanfare . Owing to the 1988 Writers Guild of America strike , the number of episodes produced was cut from 26 to 22 , and the start of the season was delayed . Because of the strike , the opening episode , `` The Child '' , was based on a script originally written for Star Trek : Phase II , while the season finale , `` Shades of Gray '' , was a clip show . Nevertheless , season two as a whole was widely regarded as significantly better than season one . Benefiting from Paramount 's commitment to a multiyear run and free from network interference due to syndication , Roddenberry found writers who could work within his guidelines and create drama from the cast 's interaction with the rest of the universe . The plots became more sophisticated and began to mix drama with comic relief . Its focus on character development received special praise . Co-executive producer Maurice Hurley has stated that his primary goal for the season was to plan and execute season - long story arcs and character arcs . Hurley wrote the acclaimed episode `` Q Who '' , which featured the first on - screen appearance of the Borg , TNG 's most popular villain . Season two focused on developing the character Data , and two highly regarded episodes from the season , `` Elementary , Dear Data '' and `` The Measure of a Man '' , featured him prominently . Miles O'Brien also became a more prominent character during the second season , while Geordi La Forge took the position of Chief Engineer . Klingon issues continued to be explored in well - regarded episodes such as `` A Matter of Honor '' and `` The Emissary '' , which introduced Worf 's former lover K'Ehleyr . Five second - season episodes were nominated for six Emmy Awards , and `` Q Who '' won for Outstanding Sound Editing for a Series and Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Drama Series . Debuted 1988 - 1989 Season three ( edit ) Main article : Star Trek : The Next Generation ( season 3 ) Before the production of the third season in the summer of 1989 , some personnel changes were made . Head writer Maurice Hurley was let go and Michael Piller took over for the rest of the series . Creator and executive producer Gene Roddenberry took less of an active role due to his declining health . Roddenberry gave Piller and Berman the executive producer jobs , and they remained in that position for the rest of the series ' run , with Berman overseeing the production as a whole and Piller being in charge of the creative direction of the show and the writing room . Doctor Crusher returned from her off - screen tenure at Starfleet Medical to replace Doctor Pulaski , who had remained a guest star throughout the second season . An additional change was the inclusion of the fanfare that was added to the opening credits of the second season , to the end of the closing credits . Ronald D. Moore joined the show after submitting a spec script that became `` The Bonding '' . He became the franchise 's `` Klingon guru '' , meaning that he wrote most TNG episodes dealing with the Klingon Empire ( though he wrote some Romulan stories , as well , such as `` The Defector '' ) . Writer / producer Ira Steven Behr also joined the show in its third season . Though his tenure with TNG lasted only one year , he later went on to be a writer and showrunner of spin - off series Star Trek : Deep Space Nine . Six third - season episodes were nominated for eight Emmys . `` Yesterday 's Enterprise '' won for Outstanding Sound Editing for a Series and `` Sins of the Father '' won for Best Art Direction for a Series . After a chiropractor warned that the cast members risked permanent skeletal injury , new two - piece wool uniforms replaced the first two seasons ' extremely tight spandex uniforms . The season finale , the critically acclaimed episode `` The Best of Both Worlds '' , was the first season - ending cliffhanger , a tradition that continued throughout the remainder of the series . Debuted 1989 - 1990 Season four ( edit ) Main article : Star Trek : The Next Generation ( season 4 ) Brannon Braga and Jeri Taylor joined the show in its fourth season . The fourth season surpassed the Original Series in series length with the production of `` The Best of Both Worlds , Part II '' . A new alien race , the Cardassians , made their first appearance in `` The Wounded '' . They later were featured in Star Trek : Deep Space Nine . The season finale , `` Redemption '' , was the 100th episode , and the cast and crew ( including creator Gene Roddenberry ) celebrated the historic milestone on the bridge set . Footage of this was seen in the Star Trek 25th - anniversary special hosted by William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy which aired later in the year . Seven fourth - season episodes were nominated for eight Emmys . `` The Best of Both Worlds , Part II '' won for both Outstanding Sound Editing in a Series and Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Series . Character Wesley Crusher left the series in season four to go to Starfleet Academy . `` Family '' was the only Star Trek episode not to have a bridge scene during the entire episode and is the only TNG episode where Data does not appear on - screen . Debuted 1990 - 1991 Season five ( edit ) Main article : Star Trek : The Next Generation ( season 5 ) The fifth season 's seventh episode , `` Unification '' , opened with a dedication to Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry ( though the prior episode , `` The Game '' , aired four days after his death ) . Roddenberry , though he had recently died , continued to be credited as executive producer for the rest of the season . The cast and crew learned of his death during the production of `` Hero Worship '' , a later season - five episode . Seven fifth - season episodes were nominated for eight Emmys . `` Cost of Living '' won for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Costume Design for a Series and Outstanding Individual Achievement in Makeup for a Series , and `` A Matter of Time '' and `` Conundrum '' tied for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Special Visual Effects . In addition , `` The Inner Light '' became the first television episode since the 1968 original series Star Trek episode `` The City on the Edge of Forever '' to win a Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation . Season five had the introduction of a jacket for Picard , worn periodically throughout the rest of the show 's run . The observation lounge set was altered with the removal of the gold model starships across the interior wall and the addition of lighting beneath the windows . Recurring character Ensign Ro Laren was introduced in the fifth season . The season 5 finale cliffhanger includes a cameo by Stephen Hawking ( Part I of `` Descent '' ) . Debuted 1991 - 1992 Season six ( edit ) Main article : Star Trek : The Next Generation ( season 6 ) NASA Astronaut Mae Jemison , shown here on a Space Shuttle mission is featured in `` Second Chances '' ( S6E24 ) as a Lieutenant on the Enterprise - D The sixth season brought a new set of changes . Rick Berman and Michael Piller 's time was split between the newly created Star Trek : Deep Space Nine and The Next Generation . Three sixth - season episodes were nominated for Emmys . `` Time 's Arrow , Part II '' won for both Outstanding Individual Achievement in Costume Design for a Series and Outstanding Individual Achievement in Hairstyling for a Series , and `` A Fistful of Datas '' won for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Sound Mixing for a Drama Series . The highest rated episode of Season 6 for Nielsen ratings was `` Relics '' , with a rating of 13.9. which featured Scotty played by original series veteran James Doohan . NASA astronaut Mae Jemison plays in Lt. Palmer the Season 6 show `` Second Chances '' . Debuted 1992 - 1993 Season seven ( edit ) Main article : Star Trek : The Next Generation ( season 7 ) The seventh season was The Next Generation 's last . The penultimate episode , `` Preemptive Strike '' , concluded the plot line for the recurring character Ensign Ro Laren and introduced themes that continued in Star Trek : Deep Space Nine and Star Trek : Voyager . The Next Generation series finale , `` All Good Things ... '' , was a double - length episode ( separated into two parts for reruns ) that aired the week of May 19 , 1994 , revisiting the events of the pilot and providing a bookend to the series . Toronto 's SkyDome played host to a massive event for the series finale . Thousands of people packed the stadium to watch the final episode on the stadium 's JumboTron . Five seventh - season episodes were nominated for nine Emmys , and the series as a whole was the first syndicated television series nominated for Outstanding Drama Series . To this day , The Next Generation is the only syndicated drama to be nominated in this category . `` All Good Things ... '' won for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Special Visual Effects , and `` Genesis '' won for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Sound Mixing for a Drama Series . `` All Good Things ... '' also won the second of the series 's two Hugo Awards . `` All Good Things ... '' also achieved the highest Nielson rating for all of Season 7 , with a rating of 17.4 . The TNG cast went on to make 4 films after the conclusion of Season 7 . Between 1994 and 2002 the main Cast of the show went on to star in Generations , First Contact , Insurrection , and Nemesis . Meanwhile , on TV , DS9 continued with some of the prior TNG cast including Worf and O'Brien , and later in Fall of 1994 Frakes ( TNG 's Riker ) guest starred on Deep Space Nine 's `` Defiant '' ( S3E9 ) . In January 1995 the new Star Trek TV series Voyager show launched . and the aforementioned Generations movie had hit theaters in November 1994 . Even with the loss of the franchise 's guide and visionary , Roddenberry , Star Trek : The Next Generation had launched a golden era of new Trek media which would last well into the 21st century . In the finale of Enterprise , over ten years later Frakes and Sirtis reprising their roles as Riker and Deanna appear on television one last time . In the 2010s a project would be undertaken to convert all of TNG to 1080p High - Definition , and by 2015 it was all released on Blue - Ray , TV , and HD internet steaming services . Debuted 1993 - 1994 Legacy ( edit ) Although the cast members were contracted for eight seasons , Paramount ended The Next Generation after seven , which disappointed and puzzled some of the actors , and was an unusual decision for a successful television show . Paramount then made films using the cast , which it believed would be less successful if the show were still on television . Season eight also would likely have reduced the show 's profitability due to higher cast salaries and a lower price per episode when sold for stripping . The show 's strong ratings continued to the end ; the series finale was ranked number two among all shows that week , between hits Home Improvement and Seinfeld . Star Trek : The Next Generation finale in Season Seven was watched by over 30 million viewers when it concluded in early 1994 . TNG would provide the high - water mark in terms of viewership , with a peak of 11.5 million during its 5th Season prior to the launch of DS9 , and between 1988 and 1992 it picked up half a million to a million additional viewers per year . Adjusted Nielson Ratings for Star Trek TV Fall 1987 - Spring 1988 : 8.55 Million TNG S1 Fall 1988 - Spring 1989 : 9.14 Million TNG S2 Fall 1989 - Spring 1990 : 9.77 Million TNG S3 Fall 1990 - Spring 1991 : 10.58 Million TNG S4 Fall 1991 - Spring 1992 : 11.50 Million TNG S5 Fall 1992 - Spring 1993 : 10.83 Million TNG S6 ( DS9 S1 Debuted in Spring 1993 ) Fall 1993 - Spring 1994 : 9.78 Million TNG S7 + DS9 S2 Fall 1994 - Spring 1995 : 7.05 Million DS9 S3 + VOY S1 Fall 1995 - Spring 1996 : 6.42 Million DS9 S4 + VOY S2 Fall 1996 - Spring 1997 : 5.03 Million DS9 S5 + VOY S3 Fall 1997 - Spring 1998 : 4.53 Million DS9 S6+ VOY S4 Fall 1998 - Spring 1999 : 4.00 Million DS9 S7 + VOY S5 ( Voyager also had two more seasons ) High - definition project ( edit ) In the 2010s , Star Trek : The Next Generation was re-produced in high - definition ( 1080p ) with a format of 4 : 3 ( 1.33 : 1 ) . Many thought would not be possible , but CBS managed to do it and major work was done at CBS Digital . TNG was shot on 35 mm film , which meant the film could be re-scanned to a higher resolution , however , many of the special effects had to be re-produced . Also a 7.1 DTS - HD Master Audio sound option was created . Season 1 achieved 95,000 units in its launch week in 2012 . ( further information Blu - Ray releases ) In addition to the Blu - Ray packages , the HD was sold to many online streaming TV providers such as Netflix . The Netflix version included some additional special effect changes . The Blu - ray sets include many special features and videos , such as a 1988 episode of Reading Rainbow where Levar Burton ( on TNG he is cast as Chief Engineer Geordi ) documents the making of a Star Trek : The Next Generation episode . In June 2016 a 41 - disc set was released with over 8000 minutes of TNG - content , including the entire show in 1080p ( 4 : 3 ) .

The Riker character was influenced by concepts for first officer Willard Decker in the Star Trek : Phase II television series . Decker 's romantic history with helmsman Ilia was mirrored in The Next Generation in the relationship between Riker and Deanna Troi . Riker also appears in an episode each of Star Trek : Voyager and Star Trek : Enterprise . In addition to William Riker , Frakes played William 's transporter - created double , Thomas , in one episode each of The Next Generation and Star Trek : Deep Space Nine . LeVar Burton as Geordi La Forge was initially the ship 's helmsman , but the character became chief engineer beginning in the second season . Burton also played the character in an episode of Voyager . Denise Crosby as Tasha Yar is the chief of security and tactical officer . Crosby left the series at the end of the first season , and the Yar character was killed . Yar returns in alternate timelines in the award - winning episode `` Yesterday 's Enterprise '' and the series finale , `` All Good Things ... '' . Crosby also played Commander Sela , Yar 's half - Romulan daughter . Michael Dorn as Worf is a Klingon . Worf initially appears as a junior officer fulfilling several roles on the bridge . When Denise Crosby left at the end of the first season , the Worf character succeeded Lieutenant Yar as the ship 's chief of security and tactical officer . Dorn reprised the role as a regular in seasons four through seven of Star Trek : Deep Space Nine and also played another Klingon , also named Worf , in Star Trek VI : The Undiscovered Country ; with 282 on screen appearances , Dorn has the most appearances of any actor in the Star Trek franchise . Gates McFadden as Doctor Beverly Crusher is the Enterprise 's chief medical officer . As a fully certified bridge officer , Dr. Crusher had the ability to command the Enterprise , if circumstances required her to do so . She also , on occasional , commanded night - watch shifts on the ship 's main bridge to stay on top of starship operations . McFadden was fired after the first season , but was rehired for the third season and remained for the remainder of the series . Diana Muldaur as Doctor Katherine Pulaski was created to replace Dr. Crusher for the show 's second season . Muldaur , who previously appeared in two episodes of the original Star Trek , never received billing in the opening credits ; instead , she was listed as a special guest star during the first act . Marina Sirtis as Lieutenant Commander Deanna Troi is the half - human , half - Betazoid ship 's counselor . Starting in the season - seven7 episode `` Thine Own Self '' , Counselor Troi , having taken and completed the bridge - officer 's test , is later promoted to the rank of commander , which allowed her to take command of the ship , and also perform bridge duties other than those of a ship 's counselor . The character 's relationship with first officer Riker was a carry - over from character ideas developed for Phase II . Troi also appeared in later episodes of Voyager and in the finale of Enterprise . Brent Spiner as Lieutenant Commander Data is an android who serves as second officer and operations officer . Data 's `` outsider 's '' perspective on humanity served a similar narrative purpose as Spock 's in the original Star Trek . Spiner also played his `` brother '' , Lore , and his creator , Noonien Soong . In Enterprise , Spiner played Noonien 's ancestor , Arik , and contributed a brief voiceover ( heard over the Enterprise - D 's intercom ) in the Enterprise finale . Wil Wheaton as Beverly Crusher 's son Wesley becomes an acting ensign , and later receives a field commission to ensign , before attending Starfleet Academy . After being a regular for the first four seasons , Wheaton appeared sporadically as Wesley Crusher for the remainder of the series . In addition to the series regulars , other recurring characters include : Majel Barrett as Lwaxana Troi is Deanna Troi 's mother and Betazoid ambassador for the United Federation of Planets . She reprised her role in three episodes of Deep Space Nine . Barrett , married to Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry , previously appeared in the original Star Trek . She also voiced the computer in The Next Generation and other spinoffs . Brian Bonsall as Alexander Rozhenko is Worf 's son . Jon Paul Steuer played Alexander in the character 's first appearance , and James Sloyan played an older , time - traveling version of Alexander in another episode . Marc Worden played the character for his appearances in Deep Space Nine . Rosalind Chao as Keiko O'Brien is Miles O'Brien's wife and a botanist . She also made recurring appearances in Deep Space Nine . John de Lancie as Q is an omnipotent antagonist from the Q Continuum . de Lancie continued playing the Q character in both Deep Space Nine and Voyager . Whoopi Goldberg as Guinan is the El - Aurian bartender in the ship 's Ten Forward Lounge . Michelle Forbes as Ensign Ro Laren is a Bajoran helmsman , who is later promoted to the rank of lieutenant in season seven . That same season , however , she resigns from Starfleet to become a member of a group of renegade federation colonists known as `` the Maquis '' . Forbes ' character was considered for use in Deep Space Nine , although producers eventually developed a new character , Kira Nerys . Colm Meaney as Miles O'Brien is an unnamed helmsman in the show 's pilot , and appears several times in other positions during the first season . The character was eventually given a rank of Chief Petty Officer , and developed into the transporter chief . Meaney portrayed O'Brien for seven seasons as a series regular on Deep Space Nine . Robert O'Reilly as Gowron is leader of the Klingon High Council . O'Reilly also appeared as Gowron in Deep Space Nine . O'Reilly appeared in an episode of Enterprise as a different character . Dwight Schultz as Lieutenant Reginald Barclay is a technician and engineer who also plays a prominent role in the later seasons of Voyager . Patti Yasutake as Ensign Alyssa Ogawa is a nurse in Dr. Crusher 's sickbay . There were certain big changes for regular characters , the major one was that Tasha Yar is only in season one , and Wesley left for Starfleet Academy in Season 4 . In Season 2 the doctor is Pulaski not Crusher , but Crusher does come back and remains the ship 's doctor thereafter ( In All Good Things it is revealed she eventually marries Picard and has her own starship command , thus becoming the new Captain Picard , as he retired to tend a vineyard ) . In many cases the characters , or at least the actors , come back to act in some role on the show . There are many reoccurring characters , some of them have actually more appearances in episodes than Tasha .

Story arcs & themes ( edit ) Star Trek had a number of story arcs within the larger story , and oftentimes different episodes contributed to two or more different story or character arcs . These could be grouped in different ways , and one way was by the aliens they were interacting with , for example TNG introduced the Borg and the Cardassians . The Klingons and Romulans had been introduced in the original series ( 1966 -- 69 ) ; however , the Klingons were somewhat re-booted with `` turtle - head '' look , although a retcon was given for this in an Enterprise episode . Another way to group them is by a certain character such as Q or Ro Laren or by a technology like the holo - deck , and there were many other alien encounters ( usually funny foreheads , face - paint , or no - body ) . Often the plot for alien encounters involved some eccentric alien nature that caused tensions , revealed at the end Alien sagas The Borg : Q Who ( May 8 , 1989 ) - introduces Borg also a Q - show The Best of Both Worlds , Part I & Part II ( June 18 , 1990 & September 24 , 1990 ) - Major Borg diptych Family ( October 1 , 1990 ) - Aftermath of BoBW I , Borg ( May 10 , 1992 ) - Introduces Hue Descent , Part I & Part II ( June 21 , 1993 & September 20 , 1993 ) - Another Borg diptych Certain episodes go deeper into the Klingon alien saga , which are famous for having an actual Klingon language made for them in the trekiverse . The Klingon stories usually involve Worf , but not all Worf - centric shows are focused on Klingons . The famous Duras sisters , a Klingon duo Lursa and B'Etor , were introduced on TNG in 1991 on Redemption ( S5 - S5 bridge ) and they later appeared in the film Generations Klingon stories ( examples ) : `` Heart of Glory '' ( S1E20 ) `` A Matter of Honor ( S2E8 ) - Riker on a Klingon vessel `` Sins of the Father '' ( S3E17 ) ( introduces Worf 's brother Kurn ) `` Redemption '' ( S4 - S5 cliffhanger and bridge , two parts ) ( Explores Klingon politics and homeworld ) `` Birthright '' ( S6E16 & S6E17 , two - part episode ) `` Rightful Heir '' ( S6E23 ) - Introduces Kahless `` Firstborn '' ( TNG S7E21 ) ( Alexander - Worf focused episode ) The Klingon saga established by TNG was significantly continued on the Deep Space Nine tv show , which continued the Worf character for another 4 seasons Characters Brent Spiner left , stars as the android Data on the show and all four movies , and also plays Data 's `` father '' and `` brother '' Reginald Barclay ( played by A-Team veteran Dwight Schultz ) stories : Hollow Pursuits The Nth Degree Realm of Fear Ship in a Bottle Barclay 's character also has several important episodes Star Trek Voyager TV show such as Projections ( Star Trek : Voyager ) . Lore is an android like Data , and is played by the same actor . Lore was introduced in S1E13 . Datalore ( January 18 , 1988 ) Brothers ( October 8 , 1990 ) Descent , Part II ( September 20 , 1993 ) Actor John de Lancie plays the role of the mysterious but powerful alien known as Q Q `` Encounter at Farpoint '' diptych `` Hide and Q '' `` Q Who ? '' `` Déjà Q '' `` Qpid '' `` True Q '' `` Tapestry '' `` All Good Things ... '' diptych Also the 1996 computer game Star Trek : Borg includes video segments with actor John de Lancie as Q Theme A thematic grouping is also possible , and a number of TNG dabbled in softcore terror / horror Night Terrors ( March 18 , 1991 ) Schisms ( October 19 , 1992 ) Chain of Command , Part I & Part II ( December 14 , 1992 & December 21 , 1992 ) Frame of Mind ( May 3 , 1993 ) Sub Rosa ( January 31 , 1994 ) Genesis ( March 21 , 1994 ) Reception ( edit ) See also : List of awards and nominations received by Star Trek : The Next Generation Exhibit in Los Angeles featuring the crew quarters of Captain Picard ( uniform shown ) The Next Generation 's average of 20 million viewers often exceeded both existing syndication successes such as Wheel of Fortune and network hits including Cheers and L.A. Law . Benefiting in part from many stations ' decision to air each new episode twice in a week , it consistently ranked in the top ten among hour - long dramas , and networks could not prevent affiliates from preempting their shows with The Next Generation or other dramas that imitated its syndication strategy. Star Trek : The Next Generation received 18 Emmy Awards and , in its seventh season , became the first and only syndicated television show to be nominated for the Emmy for Best Dramatic Series . It was nominated for three Hugo Awards and won two . The first - season episode `` The Big Goodbye '' also won the Peabody Award for excellence in television programming . In 1997 , the episode `` The Best of Both Worlds , Part I '' was ranked No. 70 on TV Guide 's 100 Greatest Episodes of All Time . In 2002 , Star Trek : The Next Generation was ranked # 46 on TV Guide 's 50 Greatest TV Shows of All Time list , and in 2008 , was ranked No. 37 on Empire 's list of the 50 greatest television shows . On October 7 , 2006 , one of the three original filming models of the USS Enterprise - D used on the show sold at a Christie 's auction for USD $576,000 , making it the highest - selling item at the event . The buyer of the piece was Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen , owner of the Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle . The piece is on display within the Science Fiction Museum . In 2012 , Entertainment Weekly listed the show at No. 7 in the `` 25 Best Cult TV Shows from the Past 25 Years '' , saying , `` The original Star Trek was cult TV before cult TV was even a thing , but its younger , sleeker offspring brought , yes , a new generation into the Trekker fold , and reignited the promise of sci - fi on television . '' Although TNG did develop a cult following , it was noted for its prime - time general audience viewership also . The flute from `` Inner Light '' was valued at only a few hundred to perhaps 1000 USD when it went to auction , but was sold for over 40,000 ; in this case the auctioneers admitted they had underestimated the appeal of the prop . In the days leading up to the auction , Denise Okuda , former Trek scenic artist and video supervisor , as well as co-writer of the auction catalog , said : `` That 's the item people say they really have to have , because it 's so iconic to a much - beloved episode . '' Episodes with highest Nielsen ratings ( Examples ) `` All Good Things ... '' ( 1994 ) , the finale achieved a rating of 17.4 `` Encounter at Farpoint '' ( 1987 ) , rating of 15.7 `` Unification '' ( 1991 ) , 15.4 , a duology featuring Leonard Nimoy as Spoc in Part II brought in the highest Nielsen ratingsof that Season , and the one of the highest known for TNG except for the pilot and finale . `` Aquiel '' ( 1993 ) , 14.1 ( Featured Guest star Renée Jones as Aquiel ) `` A Matter of Time '' ( 1991 ) , 13.9 ( Featuring guest star Matt Frewer as a time traveler ) `` Relics '' ( 1992 ) , 13.9 ( This one featured James Doohan as Scotty ) `` Time 's Arrow , Part II '' ( 1992 ) , 13.8 ( S6 opener and conclusion of the Time 's Arrow duology ) `` Tapestry '' ( 1993 ) , 13.8 ( Q - show ) DS9 's `` The Emissary '' , which came out half - way through season 6 of TNG achieved a Nielsen rating of 18.8 . Star Trek 's ratings went into a steady decline starting with Season 6 of TNG , and the second to last episode of DS9 achieved a Nielsen rating of 3.9 .

For example , in Star Trek : Armada voice actors from The Next Generation contributed to their characters in the game including Patrick Stewart reprised the roles of Jean - Luc Picard and Locutus , Michael Dorn voiced Worf , Denise Crosby reprised Sela , and J.G. Hertzler voiced Chancellor Martok . Several other voice actors who had been previously unaffiliated with Star Trek also voiced characters in the game , among them was Richard Penn . Star Trek : Armada II was set in the Star Trek : The Next Generation era of the Star Trek universe . Star Trek : Hidden Evil , which came out in 1999 not only included voice acting by Brent Spiner as Data and Patrick Stewart as Picard , but the story was a follow - on from the ninth Star Trek movie , Star Trek : Insurrection . Films ( edit ) Main article : Star Trek ( film series ) Levar Burton stars as Chief Engineer Geordi La Forge in all four TNG movies between 1994 and 2002 Michael Dorn also had a scene as Worf in Star Trek VI : The Undiscovered Country .

Worf played by Dorn also appeared in Star Trek VI : The Undiscovered Country . ` ` I think it was kind of an honor they had my character be sort of the link between the two series . It was wonderful to be working with the other cast ( from the original Star Trek series ) . It was kind of a fantasy because who would have thought when I was watching the original show that I ` d be working in the movie ? Beyond that , it ` s like professionalism takes over and you just kind of do the best you can and not make yourself look bad -- Mr. Dorn on his role in Undiscovered Country Gross with TNG - cast ST films ( not - inflation adjusted ) Star Trek VI : The Undiscovered Country $74,888,996 Released 12 / 6 / 91 Star Trek : Generations ( also has some TOS cast ) $75,671,125 Released 11 / 18 / 94 Star Trek : First Contact $92,027,888 Released 11 / 22 / 96 Star Trek : Insurrection $70,187,658 Released 12 / 11 / 98 Star Trek : Nemesis $43,254,409 12 / 13 / 02 Lenard Nimoy as Spock also had some TNG episodes ( e.g. Unification ( Star Trek : The Next Generation ) and was featured in the re-boot Star Trek film in 2009 Starting with First Contact , they get a new ship the Enterprise - E with a similar but modified designed as the D - model featured in TV and in Generations Release History ( edit ) VHS ( edit ) All episodes of Star Trek : The Next Generation were made available on VHS cassettes , starting in 1991 . The entire series was gradually released on VHS over the next few years during the remainder of the show 's run and after the show had ended . The VHS for TNG were available on mail - order usually two episodes per VHS cassette . LaserDisc ( edit ) Paramount published all episodes on the LaserDisc format from October 1991 using an extended release schedule that concluded in May 1999 . Each disc featured two episodes with Closed Captions , Digital Audio , and CX encoding . Also published were four themed `` collections '' , or boxed sets , of related episodes . These included The Borg Collective , The Q Continuum , Worf : Return to Grace , and The Captains Collection . There was a production error with episode 166 , `` Sub Rosa '' , where a faulty master tape was used that was missing 41⁄2 minutes of footage . Though a new master copy of the episode was obtained , no corrected pressing of this disc was issued . Star Trek : The Next Generation was also released on LaserDisc in the non-US markets Japan and Europe . In Japan , all episodes were released in a series of 14 boxed sets ( two boxed sets per season ) , and as with the US releases were in the NTSC format and ordered by production code . The European laserdiscs were released in the PAL format and included the ten two - part telemovies as well as a disc featuring the episodes Yesterday 's Enterprise and Cause And Effect . The pilot episode , Encounter At Farpoint , was also included in a boxed set called Star Trek : The Pilots featuring the pilot episodes from Star Trek : The Original Series , Star Trek : The Next Generation , Star Trek : Deep Space Nine , and Star Trek : Voyager . DVD ( edit ) The first season of the series was released on DVD in March 2002 . Throughout the year the next six seasons were released at various times on DVD , with the seventh season being released in December 2002 . To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the series , CBS Home Entertainment and Paramount Home Entertainment released Star Trek : The Next Generation -- The Complete Series on October 2 , 2007 . The DVD box set contains 49 discs . Between March 2006 and September 2008 , `` Fan Collective '' editions were released containing select episodes of The Next Generation ( and The Original Series , Deep Space Nine , and Voyager ) based on various themes . The individual episodes were chosen by fans voting on StarTrek.com . In total , six `` Fan Collectives '' were produced , along with a boxed set containing the first five collectives . In April 2013 all seven seasons of Star Trek : The Next Generation were re-released in new packaging featuring a silhouette of a different cast member on each box . However , the discs contained the identical content that was previously released in 2002 . Blu - Ray ( edit ) The original show was shot on high - quality 35 mm film , but had to be downscaled before editing and postprocessing to standard ' 80s and ' 90s TV resolution ( video quality ) for broadcast . The show 's final visual effects ( e.g. all exterior shots of the starship Enterprise , phaser fire or beaming fade - ins and - outs ) were also composed only in standard resolution video . All previous home video and DVD releases used this severely downscaled version . To include such footage on Blu - ray , using only upscaling , would have resulted in a larger but blurred image , so CBS decided to use a more detailed approach to bring the show to high definition . They also opted to adhere to the show 's original 4 : 3 aspect ratio . A news release on the official website announced on September 28 , 2011 , in celebration of the series ' twenty - fifth anniversary , that Star Trek : The Next Generation would be completely re-mastered in 1080p and 4k high definition from the original 35 mm film negatives ( consisting of almost 25,000 reels of original film stock ) . All the visual effects for each episode would be digitally recomposed from original large - format negatives and newly created CGI shots . The release would be accompanied by 7.1 DTS Master Audio . An initial disc featuring the episodes `` Encounter at Farpoint '' , `` Sins of the Father '' , and `` The Inner Light '' was released on January 31 , 2012 under the label `` The Next Level '' . The six - disc first season set was released on July 24 , 2012 . The remaining seasons were released periodically thereafter , culminating in the release of the seventh season on December 2 , 2014 . The entire re-mastered series is available on Blu - ray as individual seasons , and as a 41 - disc box set titled The Full Journey . Eventually , all remastered episodes will also be available for television syndication and digital distribution . Mike Okuda believes this is the largest film restoration project ever attempted .

'' The Measure of a Man HD extended cut ( edit ) Main article : The Measure of a Man ( Star Trek : The Next Generation ) A famous episode , `` The Measure of a Man `` , which broke - out of entertainment into academia was released in HD in 2012 with an extended cut . The extended version includes an extra 13 minutes of footage as well as recreated special effects . It was released as part of the Season 2 collection set . Spin - offs and the franchise ( edit ) Re-creation of the TNG starship bridge for Star Trek : The Exhibition Star Trek : The Next Generation spawned a lot of media set in its science - fiction vision , which was primarily the 2370s but set in the same universe as first Star Trek TV shows of the 1960s . This included the aforementioned films , computer games , board games , theme parks etc . In the 2010s there was still discussion about a Captain Worf spin - off , the Bridge officer that debuted on TNG and was also featured in the TNG spin - off show Deep Space Nine , which itself had quite a following .

Star Trek : Titan Vendetta ( Star Trek ) These are the voyages ... ( 2005 ) ( edit ) Jonathan Frakes and Marina Sirtis returned to their The Next Generation roles for the series finale of Enterprise . In 2005 , the last episode of `` Enteprise '' called `` These Are the Voyages ... '' ( S4E22 ) featured a holodeck simulation on the USS Enterprise ( NCC - 1701 - D ) from Star Trek : The Next Generation during the events of the episode `` The Pegasus '' and the return of Commander William Riker ( Jonathan Frakes ) and Counselor Deanna Troi ( Marina Sirtis ) . It was written by Berman and Braga , who noted `` ... this was a very cool episode because it has a great concept driving it '' . Star Trek : Enterprise was TV show launched following Star Trek : Voyager conclusion , and was set 100 years before TOS and 200 years before TNG , in addition to including some soft re-boot elements with an all new cast . Some episodes connected to TNG directly including guest stars by Brent Spiner and connections to the events in TNG 's fictional universe . The three - episode story arc consisting of `` Borderland '' , `` Cold Station 12 '' , and `` The Augments '' , with a Soong ancestor portrayed by The Next Generation regular Brent Spiner provides some backstory to Data 's back - story . Also Affliction ( Star Trek : Enterprise ) also helps explain the smooth - headed Klingons that sometimes appeared , a theatrically presented retcon and backstory that helped explain this varying presentation between TOS , TNG , and Films Star Trek would not return to television as a show for over 12 years , until the debut of Star Trek : Discovery on CBS , but thereafter exclusively available on the internet service CBS All Access ( Neflix Internationally ) at that time . The film franchise was rebooted under the Kelvin timeline was quite successful , with several blockbusters from 2009 and featuring scenes with Spock Context ( edit ) This infographic shows the first - run production timeline of various Star Trek franchise shows and films , including Star Trek : The Next Generation The re-production of TNG into HD was done in the 2010s .

Hayes Parents Rutherford Hayes Jr . Sophia Birchard Education Kenyon College ( BA ) Harvard University ( LLB ) Signature Military service Allegiance United States Service / branch United States Army Union Army Years of service 1861 -- 1865 Rank Brigadier general ( USV ) Brevet Major General ( USV ) Unit 23rd Ohio Infantry Kanawha Division Battles / wars American Civil War Battle of South Mountain ( WIA ) Valley Campaigns of 1864 Rutherford Birchard Hayes ( October 4 , 1822 -- January 17 , 1893 ) was the 19th President of the United States from 1877 to 1881 , having served also as an American congressman and governor of Ohio . Hayes was a lawyer and staunch abolitionist who defended refugee slaves in court proceedings in the antebellum years . During the American Civil War , he was seriously wounded fighting in the Union Army . He was nominated as the Republican candidate for the presidency in 1876 and elected through the Compromise of 1877 that officially ended the Reconstruction Era by leaving the South to govern itself . In office he withdrew military troops from the South , ending Army support for Republican state governments in the South and the efforts of African - American freedmen to establish their families as free citizens . He promoted civil service reform , and attempted to reconcile the divisions left over from the Civil War and Reconstruction . Hayes , an attorney in Ohio , served as city solicitor of Cincinnati from 1858 to 1861 . When the Civil War began , he left a fledgling political career to join the Union Army as an officer . Hayes was wounded five times , most seriously at the Battle of South Mountain . He earned a reputation for bravery in combat and was promoted to the rank of brevet major general . After the war , he served in the Congress from 1865 to 1867 as a Republican . Hayes left Congress to run for governor of Ohio and was elected to two consecutive terms , from 1868 to 1872 . Later he served a third two - year term , from 1876 to 1877 . In 1876 , Hayes was elected president in one of the most contentious elections in national history . He lost the popular vote to Democrat Samuel J. Tilden but he won an intensely disputed electoral college vote after a Congressional commission awarded him twenty contested electoral votes . The result was the Compromise of 1877 , in which the Democrats acquiesced to Hayes 's election on the condition that he withdraw remaining U.S. troops protecting Republican office holders in the South , thus officially ending the Reconstruction era . Hayes believed in meritocratic government and equal treatment without regard to race . He ordered federal troops to crush the Great Railroad Strike of 1877 . He implemented modest civil service reforms that laid the groundwork for further reform in the 1880s and 1890s . He vetoed the Bland -- Allison Act , which would have put silver money into circulation and raised nominal prices , insisting that maintenance of the gold standard was essential to economic recovery . His policy toward Western Indians anticipated the assimilationist program of the Dawes Act of 1887 . Hayes kept his pledge not to run for re-election , retired to his home in Ohio , and became an advocate of social and educational reform . Biographer Ari Hoogenboom said his greatest achievement was to restore popular faith in the presidency and to reverse the deterioration of executive power that had set in after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln . Although supporters have praised his commitment to civil service reform and defense of civil rights , Hayes is generally ranked as average or slightly below average by historians and scholars .

Hayes 's father , a Vermont storekeeper , took the family to Ohio in 1817 . He died ten weeks before Rutherford 's birth . Sophia took charge of the family , raising Hayes and his sister , Fanny , the only two of the four children to survive to adulthood . She never remarried , and Sophia 's younger brother , Sardis Birchard , lived with the family for a time . He was always close to Hayes and became a father figure to him , contributing to his early education . Through each of his parents , Hayes was descended from New England colonists . His earliest immigrant ancestor came to Connecticut from Scotland in 1625 . Hayes 's great - grandfather , Ezekiel Hayes , was a militia captain in Connecticut in the American Revolutionary War , but Ezekiel 's son ( Hayes 's grandfather , also named Rutherford ) left his Branford home during the war for the relative peace of Vermont . His mother 's ancestors migrated to Vermont at a similar time . Most of his close relatives outside Ohio continued to live there . John Noyes , an uncle by marriage , had been his father 's business partner in Vermont and was later elected to Congress . His first cousin , Mary Jane Mead , was the mother of sculptor Larkin Goldsmith Mead and architect William Rutherford Mead . John Humphrey Noyes , the founder of the Oneida Community , was also a first cousin . Education and Early law career ( edit ) Hayes attended the common schools in Delaware , Ohio , and enrolled in 1836 at the Methodist Norwalk Seminary in Norwalk , Ohio . He did well at Norwalk , and the following year transferred to The Webb School , a preparatory school in Middletown , Connecticut , where he studied Latin and Ancient Greek . Returning to Ohio , he attended Kenyon College in Gambier in 1838 . He enjoyed his time at Kenyon , and was successful scholastically ; while there , he joined several student societies and became interested in Whig politics . He graduated with highest honors in 1842 and addressed the class as its valedictorian . After briefly reading law in Columbus , Ohio , Hayes moved east to attend Harvard Law School in 1843 . Graduating with an LL. B , he was admitted to the Ohio bar in 1845 and opened his own law office in Lower Sandusky ( now Fremont ) . Business was slow at first , but he gradually attracted a few clients and also represented his uncle Sardis in real estate litigation . In 1847 , Hayes became ill with what his doctor thought to be tuberculosis . Thinking a change in climate would help , he considered enlisting in the Mexican -- American War , but on his doctor 's advice he instead visited family in New England . Returning from there , Hayes and his uncle Sardis made a long journey to Texas , where Hayes visited with Guy M. Bryan , a Kenyon classmate and distant relative . Business remained meager on his return to Lower Sandusky , and Hayes decided to move to Cincinnati . Cincinnati law practice and marriage ( edit ) Rutherford and Lucy Hayes on their wedding day Hayes moved to Cincinnati in 1850 , and opened a law office with John W. Herron , a lawyer from Chillicothe . Later , Herron joined a more established firm and Hayes formed a new partnership with William K. Rogers and Richard M. Corwine . He found business better in Cincinnati , and enjoyed the social attractions of the larger city , joining the Cincinnati Literary Society and the Odd Fellows Club . He also attended the Episcopal Church in Cincinnati but did not become a member . Hayes courted his future wife , Lucy Webb , during his time there . His mother had encouraged him to get to know Lucy years earlier , but Hayes had believed she was too young and focused his attention on other women . Four years later , Hayes began to spend more time with Lucy . They became engaged in 1851 and married on December 30 , 1852 , at the house of Lucy 's mother . Over the next five years , Lucy gave birth to three sons : Birchard Austin ( 1853 ) , Webb Cook ( 1856 ) , and Rutherford Platt ( 1858 ) . Lucy , a Methodist , was a teetotaler and abolitionist . She influenced her husband 's views on those issues , although he never formally joined her church . Hayes had begun his law practice dealing primarily with commercial issues but won greater prominence in Cincinnati as a criminal defense attorney , defending several people accused of murder . In one case , he used a form of the insanity defense that saved the accused from the gallows ; the woman was instead confined to a mental institution . Hayes also defended slaves who had escaped and were accused under the recently enacted Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 . As Cincinnati was just across the Ohio River from Kentucky , a slave state , it was a destination for escaping slaves and many such cases were tried in its courts . A staunch abolitionist , Hayes found his work on behalf of fugitive slaves personally gratifying as well as politically useful , as it raised his profile in the newly formed Republican Party . His political reputation rose with his professional plaudits . Hayes declined the Republican nomination for a judgeship in 1856 . Two years later , some Republicans proposed Hayes to fill a vacancy on the bench and he considered accepting the appointment until the office of city solicitor also became vacant . The city council elected Hayes as city solicitor to fill the vacancy , and he won a full two - year term from the voters in April 1859 with a larger majority than other Republicans on the ticket . Civil War ( edit ) Hayes in Civil War uniform in 1861 West Virginia and South Mountain ( edit ) As the Southern states quickly started to secede after Lincoln 's election to the presidency in 1860 , Hayes was lukewarm on the idea of a civil war to restore the Union . Considering that the two sides might be irreconcilable , he suggested that the Union `` ( l ) et them go . '' Although Ohio had voted for Lincoln in 1860 , the Cincinnati voters turned against the Republican party after secession . Its residents included many from the South , and they voted for the Democrats and Know - Nothings , who combined to sweep the city elections in April 1861 , ejecting Hayes from the city solicitor 's office . Returning to private practice , Hayes formed a very brief law partnership with Leopold Markbreit , lasting three days before the war began . After the Confederates had fired on Fort Sumter , Hayes resolved his doubts and joined a volunteer company composed of his Literary Society friends . That June , Governor William Dennison appointed several of the officers of the volunteer company to positions in the 23rd Regiment of Ohio Volunteer Infantry . Hayes was promoted to major , and his friend and college classmate Stanley Matthews was appointed lieutenant colonel . Joining the regiment as a private was William McKinley , another future president . After a month of training , Hayes and the 23rd Ohio set out for western Virginia in July 1861 as a part of the Kanawha Division . They passed the next few months out of contact with the enemy until September , when the regiment encountered Confederates at Carnifex Ferry in present - day West Virginia and drove them back . In November , Hayes was promoted to lieutenant colonel ( Matthews having been promoted to colonel of another regiment ) and led his troops deeper into western Virginia , where they entered winter quarters . The division resumed its advance the following spring , and Hayes led several raids against the rebel forces , on one of which he sustained a minor injury to his knee . That September , Hayes 's regiment was called east to reinforce General John Pope 's Army of Virginia at the Second Battle of Bull Run . Although Hayes and his troops did not arrive in time for the battle , they joined the Army of the Potomac as it hurried north to cut off Robert E. Lee 's Army of Northern Virginia , which was advancing into Maryland . Marching north , the 23rd was the lead regiment encountering the Confederates at the Battle of South Mountain on September 14 . Hayes led a charge against an entrenched position and was shot through his left arm , fracturing the bone . He had one of his men tie a handkerchief above the wound in an effort to stop the bleeding , and continued to lead his men in the battle . While resting , he ordered his men to meet a flanking attack , but instead his entire command moved backward , leaving Hayes lying in between the lines . Eventually , his men brought Hayes back behind their lines , and he was taken to hospital . The regiment continued on to Antietam , but Hayes was out of action for the rest of the campaign . In October , he was promoted to colonel and assigned to command of the first brigade of the Kanawha Division as a brevet brigadier general . Army of the Shenandoah ( edit ) George Crook was Hayes 's commander and the namesake of his fourth son The division spent the following winter and spring near Charleston , Virginia ( present - day West Virginia ) , out of contact with the enemy . Hayes saw little action until July 1863 , when the division skirmished with John Hunt Morgan 's cavalry at the Battle of Buffington Island . Returning to Charleston for the rest of the summer , Hayes spent the fall encouraging the men of the 23rd Ohio to re-enlist , and many did so . In 1864 , the Army command structure in West Virginia was reorganized , and Hayes 's division was assigned to George Crook 's Army of West Virginia . Advancing into southwestern Virginia , they destroyed Confederate salt and lead mines there . On May 9 , they engaged Confederate troops at Cloyd 's Mountain , where Hayes and his men charged the enemy entrenchments and drove the rebels from the field . Following the rout , the Union forces destroyed Confederate supplies and again successfully skirmished with the enemy . Hayes and his brigade moved to the Shenandoah Valley for the Valley Campaigns of 1864 . Crook 's corps was attached to Major General David Hunter 's Army of the Shenandoah and soon back in contact with Confederate forces , capturing Lexington , Virginia on June 11 . They continued south toward Lynchburg , tearing up railroad track as they advanced . Hunter believed the troops at Lynchburg were too powerful , however , and Hayes and his brigade returned to West Virginia . Hayes thought that Hunter lacked aggression , writing in a letter home that `` General Crook would have taken Lynchburg . '' Before the army could make another attempt , Confederate General Jubal Early 's raid into Maryland forced their recall to the north . Early 's army surprised them at Kernstown on July 24 , where Hayes was slightly wounded by a bullet to the shoulder . Hayes also had a horse shot out from under him , and the army was defeated . Retreating into Maryland , the army was reorganized again , with Major General Philip Sheridan replacing Hunter . By August , Early was retreating up the valley , with Sheridan in pursuit . Hayes 's troops fended off a Confederate assault at Berryville and advanced to Opequon Creek , where they broke the enemy lines and pursued them farther south . They followed up the victory with another at Fisher 's Hill on September 22 , and one more at Cedar Creek on October 19 . At Cedar Creek , Hayes sprained his ankle after being thrown from a horse and was struck in the head by a spent round , which did not cause serious damage . Hayes 's leadership and bravery drew the attention of his superiors , with Ulysses S. Grant later writing of Hayes that `` ( h ) is conduct on the field was marked by conspicuous gallantry as well as the display of qualities of a higher order than that of mere personal daring . '' Cedar Creek marked the end of the campaign . Hayes was promoted to brigadier general in October 1864 and brevetted major general . Around this time , Hayes learned of the birth of his son , George Crook Hayes . The army went into winter quarters once more , and in spring 1865 the war quickly came to a close with Lee 's surrender to Grant at Appomattox . Hayes visited Washington , D.C. that May and observed the Grand Review of the Armies , after which he and the 23rd Ohio returned to their home state to be mustered out of the service . Post-war politics ( edit ) Congressman ( edit ) Pres . Andrew Johnson and Republicans fought over Reconstruction While serving in the Army of the Shenandoah in 1864 , Hayes was nominated by Republicans to run for the House of Representatives from Ohio 's 2nd congressional district . Asked by friends in Cincinnati to leave the army to campaign , Hayes refused , saying that an `` officer fit for duty who at this crisis would abandon his post to electioneer for a seat in Congress ought to be scalped . '' Instead , Hayes wrote several letters to the voters explaining his political positions and was elected by a 2,400 - vote majority over the incumbent Democrat Alexander Long . When the 39th Congress assembled in December 1865 , Hayes was sworn in as a part of a large Republican majority . Hayes identified with the moderate wing of the party , but was willing to vote with the radicals for the sake of party unity . The major legislative effort of the Congress was the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution , for which Hayes voted and which passed both houses of Congress in June 1866 . Hayes 's beliefs were in line with his fellow Republicans on Reconstruction issues : that the South should be restored to the Union , but not without adequate protections for freedmen and other black southerners . President Andrew Johnson , who succeeded to office following Lincoln 's assassination , to the contrary wanted to re-admit the seceded states quickly without first ensuring that they adopted laws protecting the newly freed slaves ' civil rights ; he also granted pardons to many of the leading former Confederates . Hayes , along with congressional Republicans , disagreed . They worked to reject Johnson 's vision of Reconstruction and to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1866 . Re-elected in 1866 , Hayes returned to the lame - duck session to vote for the Tenure of Office Act , which ensured that Johnson could not remove administration officials without the Senate 's consent . He also unsuccessfully pressed for a civil service reform bill that attracted the votes of many reform - minded Republicans . Hayes continued to vote with the majority in the 40th Congress on the Reconstruction Acts , but resigned in July 1867 to campaign for governor of Ohio . Governor of Ohio ( edit ) A popular Congressman and former Army officer , Hayes was considered by Ohio Republicans to be an excellent standard - bearer for the 1867 election campaign . Hayes 's political views were more moderate than the Republican party 's platform , although he agreed with the proposed amendment to the Ohio state constitution that would guarantee suffrage to black male Ohioans . Hayes 's opponent , Allen G. Thurman , made the proposed amendment the centerpiece of the campaign and opposed black suffrage . Both men campaigned vigorously , making speeches across the state , mostly focusing on the suffrage question . The election was mostly a disappointment to Republicans , as the amendment failed to pass and Democrats gained a majority in the state legislature . Hayes thought at first that he , too , had lost , but the final tally showed that he had won the election by 2,983 votes of 484,603 votes cast . As a Republican governor with a Democratic legislature , Hayes had a limited role in governing , especially since Ohio 's governor had no veto power . Despite these constraints , Hayes oversaw the establishment of a school for deaf - mutes and a reform school for girls . He endorsed the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson and urged his conviction , which failed by one vote in the United States Senate . Nominated for a second term in 1869 , Hayes campaigned again for equal rights for black Ohioans and sought to associate his Democratic opponent , George H. Pendleton with disunion and Confederate sympathies . Hayes was re-elected with an increased majority , and the Republicans took the legislature , ensuring Ohio 's ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution , which guaranteed black ( male ) suffrage . With a Republican legislature , Hayes 's second term was more enjoyable . Suffrage was expanded and a state Agricultural and Mechanical College ( later to become The Ohio State University ) established . He also proposed a reduction in state taxes and reform of the state prison system . Choosing not to seek re-election , Hayes looked forward to retiring from politics in 1872 . Private life and return to politics ( edit ) Hayes 's home , Spiegel Grove , in Fremont , Ohio As Hayes prepared to leave office , several delegations of reform - minded Republicans urged him to run against the incumbent Republican , John Sherman , for United States Senate . Hayes declined the offers , preferring to preserve party unity and retire to private life . Hayes especially looked forward to spending time with his children , two of whom ( daughter Fanny and son Scott ) had been born in the past five years . Initially , Hayes tried to promote railway extensions to his hometown , Fremont . He also managed some real estate he had acquired in Duluth , Minnesota . Not entirely removed from politics , Hayes held out some hope of a cabinet appointment , but was disappointed to receive only an appointment as assistant U.S. treasurer at Cincinnati , which he turned down . He agreed to be nominated for his old House seat in 1872 but was not disappointed when he lost the election to Henry B. Banning , a fellow Kenyon College alumnus . In 1873 , Lucy gave birth to another son , Manning Force Hayes . That same year , the Panic of 1873 hurt business prospects across the nation , including Hayes 's . His uncle Sardis Birchard died that year , and the Hayes family moved into Spiegel Grove , the grand house Birchard had built with them in mind . That year Hayes announced his uncle 's bequest of $50,000 in assets to endow a public library for Fremont , to be called the Birchard Library . It opened in 1874 on Front Street , and a new building was completed and opened in 1878 in Fort Stephenson State Park . ( This site was per the terms of the bequest . ) Hayes served as chairman of the library 's Board of Trustees until his death . Hayes hoped to stay out of politics in order to pay off the debts he had incurred during the Panic , but when the Republican state convention nominated him for governor in 1875 , he accepted . His campaign against Democratic nominee William Allen focused primarily on Protestant fears about the possibility of state aid to Catholic schools . Hayes was against such funding and , while he was not known to be personally anti-Catholic , he allowed anti-Catholic fervor to contribute to the enthusiasm for his candidacy . The campaign was a success , and Hayes was returned to the governorship by a 5,544 - vote majority . The first person to earn a third term as Governor of Ohio , Hayes reduced the state debt , re-established the Board of Charities , and repealed the Geghan Bill , which had allowed for the appointment of Catholic priests to schools and penitentiaries . Election of 1876 ( edit ) Main article : United States presidential election , 1876 Republican nomination and campaign against Tilden ( edit ) Hayes - Wheeler campaign poster Hayes 's success in Ohio immediately elevated him to the top ranks of Republican politicians under consideration for the presidency in 1876 . The Ohio delegation to the 1876 Republican National Convention was united behind him , and Senator John Sherman did all in his power to bring Hayes the nomination . In June 1876 , the convention assembled with James G. Blaine of Maine as the favorite . Blaine started with a significant lead in the delegate count , but could not muster a majority . As he failed to gain votes , the delegates looked elsewhere for a nominee and settled on Hayes on the seventh ballot . The convention selected Representative William A. Wheeler from New York for vice president , a man about whom Hayes had recently asked , `` I am ashamed to say : who is Wheeler ? '' The Democratic nominee was Samuel J. Tilden , the Governor of New York . Tilden was considered a formidable adversary who , like Hayes , had a reputation for honesty . Also like Hayes , Tilden was a hard - money man and supported civil service reform . In accordance with the custom of the time , the campaign was conducted by surrogates , with Hayes and Tilden remaining in their respective home towns . The poor economic conditions made the party in power unpopular and made Hayes suspect that he might lose the election . Both candidates concentrated on the swing states of New York and Indiana , as well as the three southern states -- Louisiana , South Carolina , and Florida -- where Reconstruction Republican governments still barely ruled , amid recurring political violence , including widespread efforts to suppress freedman voting . The Republicans emphasized the danger of letting Democrats run the nation so soon after southern Democrats had provoked the Civil War and , to a lesser extent , the danger a Democratic administration would pose to the recently won civil rights of southern blacks . Democrats , for their part , trumpeted Tilden 's record of reform and contrasted it with the corruption of the incumbent Grant administration . As the returns were tallied on election day , it was clear that the race was close : Democrats had carried most of the South , as well as New York , Indiana , Connecticut , and New Jersey . In the Northeast , an increasing number of immigrants and their descendants voted Democratic . Although Tilden had won the popular vote and claimed 184 electoral votes , Republicans leaders challenged the results and charged Democrats with fraud and voter suppression of blacks ( who would otherwise have voted Republican ) in Florida , Louisiana , and South Carolina . Republicans realized that if they held the three disputed unredeemed southern states together with some of the western states , they would emerge with an electoral college majority . Disputed twenty electoral votes ( edit ) Main articles : Compromise of 1877 and Electoral Commission ( United States ) On November 11 , three days after election day , Tilden appeared to have won 184 electoral votes : one short of a majority . Hayes appeared to have 166 votes , with the 19 votes of Florida , Louisiana , and South Carolina still in doubt . Republicans and Democrats each claimed victory in the three latter states , but the results in those states were rendered uncertain because of fraud by both parties . To further complicate matters , one of the three electors from Oregon ( a state Hayes had won ) was disqualified , reducing Hayes 's total to 165 , and raising the disputed votes to 20 . Hayes had to be awarded all 20 disputed votes , otherwise Tilden would be elected president . Results of the 1876 election , with states won by Hayes in red , and those won by Tilden in blue There was considerable debate about which person or house of Congress was authorized to decide between the competing slates of electors , with the Republican Senate and the Democratic House each claiming priority . By January 1877 , with the question still unresolved , Congress and President Grant agreed to submit the matter to a bipartisan Electoral Commission , which would be authorized to determine the fate of the disputed electoral votes . The Commission was to be made up of five representatives , five senators , and five Supreme Court justices . To ensure partisan balance , there would be seven Democrats and seven Republicans , with Justice David Davis , an independent respected by both parties , as the fifteenth member . The balance was upset when Democrats in the Illinois legislature elected Davis to the Senate , hoping to sway his vote . Davis disappointed Democrats by refusing to serve on the Commission because of his election to the Senate . As all of the remaining Justices were Republicans , Justice Joseph P. Bradley , believed to be the most independent - minded of them , was selected to take Davis 's place on the Commission . The Commission met in February and the eight Republicans voted to award all 20 electoral votes to Hayes . Democrats were outraged by the result and attempted a filibuster to prevent Congress from accepting the Commission 's findings . As the March 4 inauguration day neared , Republican and Democratic Congressional leaders met at Wormley 's Hotel in Washington to negotiate a compromise . Republicans promised concessions in exchange for Democratic acquiescence in the Committee 's decision . The primary concession Hayes promised would be the withdrawal of federal troops from the South and an acceptance of the election of Democratic governments in the remaining `` unredeemed '' states of the South . The Democrats agreed , and on March 2 , the filibuster was ended . Hayes was elected , but Reconstruction was finished , and freedmen were left at the mercy of white Democrats who did not intend to preserve their rights . On April 3 , Hayes ordered the Secretary of War George W. McCrary to withdraw federal troops stationed at the South Carolina State House to their barracks . Finally on April 20 , Hayes ordered the Secretary of War to send the federal troops stationed at the St. Louis Hotel in New Orleans to Jackson Barracks . Presidency ( 1877 -- 1881 ) ( edit ) Main article : Presidency of Rutherford B. Hayes Inauguration ( edit ) Chief Justice Morrison R. Waite administering the oath of office to Hayes Because March 4 , 1877 fell on a Sunday , Hayes took the oath of office privately on Saturday , March 3 , in the Red Room of the White House , the first president to do so in the Executive Mansion . He took the oath publicly on the following Monday on the East Portico of the United States Capitol . In his inaugural address , Hayes attempted to soothe the passions of the past few months , saying that `` he serves his party best who serves his country best '' . He pledged to support `` wise , honest , and peaceful local self - government '' in the South , as well as reform of the civil service and a full return to the gold standard . Despite his message of conciliation , many Democrats never considered Hayes 's election legitimate and referred to him as `` Rutherfraud '' or `` His Fraudulency '' for the next four years . The South and the end of Reconstruction ( edit ) Hayes had been a firm supporter of Republican Reconstruction policies throughout his political career , but the first major act of his presidency was an end to Reconstruction and the return of the South to `` home rule '' . Even without the conditions of the Wormley 's Hotel agreement , Hayes would have been hard - pressed to continue the policies of his predecessors . The House of Representatives in the 45th Congress was controlled by a majority of Democrats , and they refused to appropriate enough funds for the army to continue to garrison the South . Even among Republicans , devotion to continued military Reconstruction was fading in the face of persistent Southern insurgency and violence . Only two states were still under Reconstruction 's sway when Hayes assumed the presidency and , without troops to enforce the voting rights laws , these soon fell to Democratic control . Hayes 's later attempts to protect the rights of southern blacks were ineffective , as were his attempts to rebuild Republican strength in the South . He did , however , defeat Congress 's efforts to curtail federal power to monitor federal elections . Democrats in Congress passed an army appropriation bill in 1879 with a rider that repealed the Enforcement Acts , which had been used to suppress the Ku Klux Klan . Chapters had flourished across the South and it had been one of the insurgent groups that attacked and suppressed freedmen . Those Acts , passed during Reconstruction , made it a crime to prevent someone from voting because of his race . Other paramilitary groups , such as the Red Shirts in the Carolinas , however , had intimidated freedmen and suppressed the vote . Hayes was determined to preserve the law protecting black voters , and he vetoed the appropriation . The Democrats did not have enough votes to override the veto , but they passed a new bill with the same rider . Hayes vetoed this as well , and the process was repeated three times more . Finally , Hayes signed an appropriation without the offensive rider , but Congress refused to pass another bill to fund federal marshals , who were vital to the enforcement of the Enforcement Acts . The election laws remained in effect , but the funds to enforce them were curtailed for the time being . Hayes tried to reconcile the social mores of the South with the recently passed civil rights laws by distributing patronage among southern Democrats . `` My task was to wipe out the color line , to abolish sectionalism , to end the war and bring peace , '' he wrote in his diary . `` To do this , I was ready to resort to unusual measures and to risk my own standing and reputation within my party and the country . '' All of his efforts were in vain ; Hayes failed to persuade the South to accept legal racial equality and failed to convince Congress to appropriate funds to enforce the civil rights laws . Civil service reform ( edit ) Hayes took office determined to reform the system of civil service appointments , which had been based on the spoils system since Andrew Jackson was president . Instead of giving federal jobs to political supporters , Hayes wished to award them by merit according to an examination that all applicants would take . Immediately , Hayes 's call for reform brought him into conflict with the Stalwart , or pro-spoils , branch of the Republican party . Senators of both parties were accustomed to being consulted about political appointments and turned against Hayes . Foremost among his enemies was New York Senator Roscoe Conkling , who fought Hayes 's reform efforts at every turn . To show his commitment to reform , Hayes appointed one of the best - known advocates of reform , Carl Schurz , to be Secretary of the Interior and asked Schurz and William M. Evarts , his Secretary of State , to lead a special cabinet committee charged with drawing up new rules for federal appointments . John Sherman , the Treasury Secretary , ordered John Jay to investigate the New York Custom House , which was stacked with Conkling 's spoilsmen . Jay 's report suggested that the New York Custom House was so overstaffed with political appointees that 20 % of the employees were expendable . Hayes kicking Chester A. Arthur out of the New York Custom House Although he could not convince Congress to prohibit the spoils system , Hayes issued an executive order that forbade federal office holders from being required to make campaign contributions or otherwise taking part in party politics . Chester A. Arthur , the Collector of the Port of New York , and his subordinates Alonzo B. Cornell and George H. Sharpe , all Conkling supporters , refused to obey the president 's order . In September 1877 , Hayes demanded the three men 's resignations , which they refused to give . He submitted appointments of Theodore Roosevelt , Sr. , L. Bradford Prince , and Edwin Merritt -- all supporters of Evarts , Conkling 's New York rival -- to the Senate for confirmation as their replacements . The Senate 's Commerce Committee , which Conkling chaired , voted unanimously to reject the nominees . The full Senate rejected Roosevelt and Prince by a vote of 31 -- 25 , and confirmed Merritt only because Sharpe 's term had expired . Hayes was forced to wait until July 1878 , when he sacked Arthur and Cornell during a Congressional recess and replaced them by recess appointments of Merritt and Silas W. Burt , respectively . Conkling opposed confirmation of the appointees when the Senate reconvened in February 1879 , but Merritt was approved by a vote of 31 -- 25 , as was Burt by 31 -- 19 , giving Hayes his most significant civil service reform victory . For the remainder of his term , Hayes pressed Congress to enact permanent reform legislation and fund the United States Civil Service Commission , even using his last annual message to Congress in 1880 to appeal for reform . While reform legislation did not pass during Hayes 's presidency , his advocacy provided `` a significant precedent as well as the political impetus for the Pendleton Act of 1883 , '' which was signed into law by President Chester Arthur . Hayes allowed some exceptions to the ban on assessments , permitting George Congdon Gorham , secretary of the Republican Congressional Committee , to solicit campaign contributions from federal office - holders during the Congressional elections of 1878 . In 1880 , Hayes quickly forced Secretary of Navy Richard W. Thompson to resign office after Thompson had accepted a $25,000 salary for a nominal job offered by French engineer Ferdinand de Lesseps to promote a French canal in Panama . Hayes also dealt with corruption in the postal service . In 1880 , Schurz and Senator John A. Logan asked Hayes to shut down the `` star route '' rings , a system of corrupt contract profiteering in the Postal Service , and to fire Thomas J. Brady , the alleged ring leader and serving as Second Assistant Postmaster - General . Hayes stopped granting new star route contracts , but let existing contracts continue to be enforced . Democrats accused Hayes of delaying proper investigation so as not to injure Republican chances in the 1880 elections but did not press the issue in their campaign literature , as members of both parties were implicated in the corruption . As historian Hans L. Trefousse later wrote , Hayes `` hardly knew the chief suspect ( Brady ) and certainly had no connection with the ( star route ) corruption . '' Although Hayes and the Congress both investigated the contracts and found no compelling evidence of wrongdoing , Brady and others were indicted for conspiracy in 1882 . After two trials , the defendants were acquitted in 1883 . Great railroad Strike ( edit ) Main article : Great Railroad Strike of 1877 Burning of Union Depot , Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania , July 21 -- 22 , 1877 In his first year in office , Hayes was faced with the United States ' largest labor uprising to date , the Great Railroad Strike of 1877 . In order to make up for financial losses suffered since the panic of 1873 , the major railroads had cut their employees ' wages several times in 1877 . In July of that year , workers from the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad walked off the job in Martinsburg , West Virginia , to protest their reduction in pay . The strike quickly spread to workers of the New York Central , Erie , and Pennsylvania railroads , with the strikers soon numbering in the thousands . Fearing a riot , Governor Henry M. Mathews asked Hayes to send federal troops to Martinsburg , and Hayes did so , but when the troops arrived there was no riot , only a peaceful protest . In Baltimore , however , a riot did erupt on July 20 , and Hayes ordered the troops at Fort McHenry to assist the governor in its suppression . Pittsburgh next exploded into riots , but Hayes was reluctant to send in troops without the governor first requesting them . Other discontented citizens joined the railroad workers in rioting . After a few days , Hayes resolved to send in troops to protect federal property wherever it appeared to be threatened and gave Major General Winfield Scott Hancock overall command of the situation , marking the first use of federal troops to break a strike against a private company . The riot spread further , to Chicago and St. Louis , where strikers shut down railroad facilities . By July 29 , the riots had ended and federal troops returned to their barracks . Although no federal troops had killed any of the strikers , or been killed themselves , clashes between state militia troops and strikers resulted in deaths on both sides . The railroads were victorious in the short term , as the workers returned to their jobs and some wage cuts remained in effect . But , the public blamed the railroads for the strikes and violence , and they were compelled to improve working conditions and make no further cuts . Business leaders praised Hayes , but his own opinion was more equivocal ; as he recorded in his diary : `` The strikes have been put down by force ; but now for the real remedy . Ca n't something ( be ) done by education of strikers , by judicious control of capitalists , by wise general policy to end or diminish the evil ? The railroad strikers , as a rule , are good men , sober , intelligent , and industrious . '' Currency debate ( edit ) Treasury Secretary John Sherman worked with Hayes to return the country to the gold standard . Hayes confronted two issues regarding the currency , the first of which was the coinage of silver , and its relation to gold . In 1873 , the Coinage Act of 1873 stopped the coinage of silver for all coins worth a dollar or more , effectively tying the dollar to the value of gold . As a result , the money supply contracted and the effects of the Panic of 1873 grew worse , making it more expensive for debtors to pay debts they had contracted when currency was less valuable . Farmers and laborers , especially , clamored for the return of coinage in both metals , believing the increased money supply would restore wages and property values . Democratic Representative Richard P. Bland of Missouri proposed a bill that would require the United States to coin as much silver as miners could sell the government , thus increasing the money supply and aiding debtors . William B. Allison , a Republican from Iowa offered an amendment in the Senate limiting the coinage to two to four million dollars per month , and the resulting Bland -- Allison Act passed both houses of Congress in 1878 . Hayes feared that the Act would cause inflation that would be ruinous to business , effectively impairing contracts that were based on the gold dollar , as the silver dollar proposed in the bill would have an intrinsic value of 90 to 92 percent of the existing gold dollar . Further , Hayes believed that inflating the currency was an act of dishonesty , saying `` ( e ) xpediency and justice both demand an honest currency . '' He vetoed the bill , but Congress overrode his veto , the only time it did so during his presidency . The second issue concerned United States Notes ( commonly called greenbacks ) , a form of fiat currency first issued during the Civil War . The government accepted these notes as valid for payment of taxes and tariffs , but unlike ordinary dollars , they were not redeemable in gold . The Specie Payment Resumption Act of 1875 required the treasury to redeem any outstanding greenbacks in gold , thus retiring them from circulation and restoring a single , gold - backed currency . Sherman agreed with Hayes 's favorable opinion of the Act , and stockpiled gold in preparation for the exchange of greenbacks for gold . Once the public was confident that they could redeem greenbacks for specie ( gold ) , however , few did so ; when the Act took effect in 1879 , only $130,000 out of the $346,000,000 outstanding dollars in greenbacks were actually redeemed . Together with the Bland -- Allison Act , the successful specie resumption effected a workable compromise between inflationists and hard money men and , as the world economy began to improve , agitation for more greenbacks and silver coinage quieted down for the rest of Hayes 's term in office . Foreign policy ( edit ) A political cartoon from 1882 , criticizing Chinese exclusion Most of Hayes 's foreign policy concerns involved Latin America . In 1878 , following the Paraguayan War , he arbitrated a territorial dispute between Argentina and Paraguay . Hayes awarded the disputed land in the Gran Chaco region to Paraguay , and the Paraguayans honored him by renaming a city ( Villa Hayes ) and a department ( Presidente Hayes ) in his honor . Hayes was also perturbed over the plans of Ferdinand de Lesseps , the builder of the Suez Canal , to construct a canal across the Isthmus of Panama , which was then owned by Colombia . Concerned about a repetition of French adventurism in Mexico , Hayes interpreted the Monroe Doctrine firmly . In a message to Congress , Hayes explained his opinion on the canal : `` The policy of this country is a canal under American control ... The United States can not consent to the surrender of this control to any European power or any combination of European powers . '' The Mexican border also drew Hayes 's attention . Throughout the 1870s , `` lawless bands '' often crossed the border on raids into Texas . Three months after taking office , Hayes granted the Army the power to pursue bandits , even if it required crossing into Mexican territory . Porfirio Díaz , the Mexican president , protested the order and sent troops to the border . The situation calmed as Díaz and Hayes agreed to jointly pursue bandits and Hayes agreed not to allow Mexican revolutionaries to raise armies in the United States . The violence along the border decreased , and in 1880 Hayes revoked the order allowing pursuit into Mexico . Outside of the Western hemisphere , Hayes 's biggest foreign policy concern dealt with China . In 1868 , the Senate had ratified the Burlingame Treaty with China , allowing an unrestricted flow of Chinese immigrants into the country . As the economy soured after the Panic of 1873 , Chinese immigrants were blamed for depressing workmen 's wages . During the Great Railroad Strike of 1877 , anti-Chinese riots broke out in San Francisco , and a third party , the Workingman 's Party , was formed with an emphasis on stopping Chinese immigration . In response , Congress passed a Chinese Exclusion Act in 1879 , abrogating the 1868 treaty . Hayes vetoed the bill , believing that the United States should not abrogate treaties without negotiation . The veto drew praise among eastern liberals , but Hayes was bitterly denounced in the West . In the subsequent furor , Democrats in the House of Representatives attempted to impeach him , but narrowly failed when Republicans prevented a quorum by refusing to vote . After the veto , Assistant Secretary of State Frederick W. Seward suggested that both countries work together to reduce immigration , and he and James Burrill Angell negotiated with the Chinese to do so . Congress passed a new law to that effect , the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 , after Hayes left office . Indian policy ( edit ) An 1881 political cartoon about Carl Schurz 's management of the Indian Bureau Interior Secretary Carl Schurz carried out Hayes 's American Indian policy , beginning with preventing the War Department from taking over the Bureau of Indian Affairs . Hayes and Schurz carried out a policy that included assimilation into white culture , educational training , and dividing Indian land into individual household allotments . Hayes believed that his policies would lead to self - sufficiency and peace between Indians and whites . The allotment system under the Dawes Act was favored by liberal reformers at the time , including Schurz , but instead proved detrimental to American Indians . They lost much of their land through sales of what the government classified as `` surplus lands '' , and more to unscrupulous white speculators who tried to get the Indians to sell their allotments . Hayes and Schurz reformed the Bureau of Indian Affairs to reduce fraud and gave Indians responsibility for policing their reservations , although they were generally understaffed . Hayes dealt with several conflicts with Indian tribes . The Nez Perce , led by Chief Joseph , began an uprising in June 1877 when Major General Oliver O. Howard ordered them to move on to a reservation . Howard 's men defeated the Nez Perce in battle , and the tribe began a 1,700 - mile retreat into Canada . In October , after a decisive battle at Bear Paw , Montana , Chief Joseph surrendered and General William T. Sherman ordered the tribe transported to Indian Territory in Kansas , where they were forced to remain until 1885 . The Nez Perce war was not the last conflict in the West , as the Bannock rose up in Spring 1878 in Idaho and raided nearby settlements before being defeated by Howard 's army in July of that year . War with the Ute tribe broke out in Colorado in 1879 when some Ute killed Indian agent Nathan Meeker , who had been attempting to convert them to Christianity . The subsequent White River War ended when Schurz negotiated peace with the Ute and prevented white settlers from taking revenge for Meeker 's death . Hayes also became involved in resolving the removal of the Ponca tribe from Nebraska to Indian Territory ( present - day Oklahoma ) because of a misunderstanding during the Grant Administration . The tribe 's problems came to Hayes 's attention after their chief , Standing Bear , filed a lawsuit to contest Schurz 's demand that they stay in Indian Territory . Overruling Schurz , Hayes set up a commission in 1880 that ruled the Ponca were free to return to their home territory in Nebraska or stay on their reservation in Indian Territory . The Ponca were awarded compensation for their land rights , which had been previously granted to the Sioux . In a message to Congress in February 1881 , Hayes insisted he would `` give to these injured people that measure of redress which is required alike by justice and by humanity . '' Great western tour of 1880 ( edit ) Portrait of Rutherford B. Hayes by Eliphalet Frazer Andrews , 1881 In 1880 , Hayes embarked on a 71 - day tour of the American West , becoming the first sitting president to travel west of the Rocky Mountains . Hayes 's traveling party included his wife and General William Tecumseh Sherman , who helped organize the trip . Hayes began his trip in September 1880 , departing from Chicago on the transcontinental railroad . He journeyed across the continent , ultimately arriving in California , stopping first in Wyoming and then Utah and Nevada , reaching Sacramento and San Francisco . By railroad and stagecoach , the party traveled north to Oregon , arriving in Portland , and from there to Vancouver , Washington . Going by steamship , they visited Seattle , and then returned to San Francisco . Hayes then toured several southwestern states before returning to Ohio in November , in time to cast a vote in the 1880 Presidential Election . Hayes 's White House ( edit ) Hayes and his wife Lucy were known for their policy of keeping an alcohol - free White House , giving rise to her nickname `` Lemonade Lucy . '' The first reception at the Hayes White House included wine . However , Hayes was dismayed at drunken behavior at receptions hosted by ambassadors around Washington , leading him to follow his wife 's temperance leanings . Alcohol was not served again in the Hayes White House . Critics charged Hayes with parsimony , but Hayes spent more money ( which came out of his personal budget ) after the ban , ordering that any savings from eliminating alcohol be used on more lavish entertainment . His temperance policy also paid political dividends , strengthening his support among Protestant ministers . Although Secretary Evarts quipped that at the White House dinners , `` water flowed like wine , '' the policy was a success in convincing prohibitionists to vote Republican . Administration and Cabinet ( edit ) Hayes 's cabinet in 1877 The Hayes Cabinet Office Name Term President Rutherford B. Hayes 1877 -- 1881 Vice President William A. Wheeler 1877 -- 1881 Secretary of State William M. Evarts 1877 -- 1881 Secretary of Treasury John Sherman 1877 -- 1881 Secretary of War George W. McCrary 1877 -- 1879 Alexander Ramsey 1879 -- 1881 Attorney General Charles Devens 1877 -- 1881 Postmaster General David M. Key 1877 -- 1880 Horace Maynard 1880 -- 1881 Secretary of the Navy Richard W. Thompson 1877 -- 1880 Nathan Goff , Jr . 1881 Secretary of the Interior Carl Schurz 1877 -- 1881 Judicial appointments ( edit ) Main article : List of federal judges appointed by Rutherford B. Hayes Stanley Matthews 's confirmation to the Supreme Court was more difficult than Hayes expected . Hayes appointed two Associate Justices to the Supreme Court . The first vacancy occurred when David Davis resigned to enter the Senate during the election controversy of 1876 . On taking office , Hayes appointed John Marshall Harlan to the seat . A former candidate for governor of Kentucky , Harlan had been Benjamin Bristow 's campaign manager at the 1876 Republican convention , and Hayes had earlier considered him for Attorney General . Hayes submitted the nomination in October 1877 , but it aroused some dissent in the Senate because of Harlan 's limited experience in public office . Harlan was nonetheless confirmed and served on the court for thirty - four years , in which he voted ( usually in the minority ) for an aggressive enforcement of the civil rights laws . In 1880 , a second seat became vacant upon the resignation of Justice William Strong . Hayes nominated William Burnham Woods , a carpetbagger Republican circuit court judge from Alabama . Woods served six years on the Court , ultimately proving a disappointment to Hayes as he interpreted the Constitution in a manner more similar to that of Southern Democrats than to Hayes 's own preferences . Hayes attempted , unsuccessfully , to fill a third vacancy in 1881 . Justice Noah Haynes Swayne resigned with the expectation that Hayes would fill his seat by appointing Stanley Matthews , who was a friend of both men . Many Senators objected to the appointment , believing that Matthews was too close to corporate and railroad interests , especially those of Jay Gould , and the Senate adjourned without voting on the nomination . The following year , when James A. Garfield entered the White House , he re-submitted Matthews 's nomination to the Senate , which this time confirmed Matthews by one vote , 24 to 23 . Matthews served for eight years until his death in 1889 . His opinion in Yick Wo v. Hopkins in 1886 advanced his and Hayes 's views on the protection of ethnic minorities ' rights . Later life and death ( edit ) White House portrait of Rutherford B. Hayes Hayes declined to seek re-election in 1880 , keeping his pledge that he would not run for a second term . He was gratified with the election of fellow Ohio Republican James A. Garfield to succeed him , and consulted with him on appointments for the next administration . After Garfield 's inauguration , Hayes and his family returned to Spiegel Grove . In 1881 , he was elected a companion of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States . He served as commander - in - chief ( national president ) of the Loyal Legion from 1888 until his death in 1893 . Although he remained a loyal Republican , Hayes was not too disappointed in Grover Cleveland 's election to the presidency in 1884 , approving of the New York Democrat 's views on civil service reform . He was also pleased at the progress of the political career of William McKinley , his army comrade and political protégé . Hayes became an advocate for educational charities , advocating federal education subsidies for all children . He believed that education was the best way to heal the rifts in American society and allow individuals to improve themselves . Hayes was appointed to the Board of Trustees of The Ohio State University , the school he helped found during his time as governor of Ohio , in 1887 . He emphasized the need for vocational , as well as academic , education : `` I preach the gospel of work , '' he wrote , `` I believe in skilled labor as a part of education . '' He urged Congress , unsuccessfully , to pass a bill written by Senator Henry W. Blair that would have allowed federal aid for education for the first time . Hayes gave a speech in 1889 encouraging black students to apply for scholarships from the Slater Fund , one of the charities with which he was affiliated . One such student , W.E.B. Du Bois , received a scholarship in 1892 . Hayes also advocated better prison conditions . In retirement , Hayes was troubled by the disparity between the rich and the poor , saying in an 1886 speech that `` free government can not long endure if property is largely in a few hands and large masses of people are unable to earn homes , education , and a support in old age . '' The following year , Hayes recorded his thoughts on that subject in his diary : In church it occurred to me that it is time for the public to hear that the giant evil and danger in this country , the danger which transcends all others , is the vast wealth owned or controlled by a few persons . Money is power . In Congress , in state legislatures , in city councils , in the courts , in the political conventions , in the press , in the pulpit , in the circles of the educated and the talented , its influence is growing greater and greater . Excessive wealth in the hands of the few means extreme poverty , ignorance , vice , and wretchedness as the lot of the many . It is not yet time to debate about the remedy . The previous question is as to the danger -- the evil . Let the people be fully informed and convinced as to the evil . Let them earnestly seek the remedy and it will be found . Fully to know the evil is the first step towards reaching its eradication . Henry George is strong when he portrays the rottenness of the present system . We are , to say the least , not yet ready for his remedy . We may reach and remove the difficulty by changes in the laws regulating corporations , descents of property , wills , trusts , taxation , and a host of other important interests , not omitting lands and other property . Hayes was greatly saddened by his wife 's death in 1889 . He wrote that `` the soul had left ( Spiegel Grove ) '' when she died . After Lucy 's death , Hayes 's daughter Fanny became his traveling companion , and he enjoyed visits from his grandchildren . In 1890 , he chaired the Lake Mohonk Conference on the Negro Question , a gathering of reformers that met in upstate New York to discuss racial issues . Hayes died of complications of a heart attack at his home on January 17 , 1893 . His last words were `` I know that I 'm going where Lucy is . '' President - elect Grover Cleveland and Ohio Governor William McKinley led the funeral procession that followed Hayes 's body until he was interred in Oakwood Cemetery . Legacy and honors ( edit ) BEP engraved portrait of Hayes as president . Following the donation of his home to the state of Ohio for the Spiegel Grove State Park , he was re-interred there in 1915 . The following year the Hayes Commemorative Library and Museum , the first presidential library in the United States , was opened on the site , funded by contributions from the state of Ohio and Hayes 's family . An 1878 dispute between Argentina and Paraguay which Hayes had arbitrated and decided in favor of Paraguay , giving Paraguay 60 percent of its current territory later motivated a province in the region to be named after him : Presidente Hayes province ( capital : Villa Hayes ) ; an official holiday : Laudo Hayes Firm Day , the anniversary of the decision , celebrated in Presidente Hayes province ; a local soccer team : Presidente Hayes soccer club ( also known as `` Los Yanquis '' ) , based in the national capital , Asuncion ; a postage stamp , the design of which was chosen in a contest run by the U.S. Embassy ; and even a young girl 's wish : a girl who came out of a coma got her fondest wish -- a trip to the Hayes Presidential Center in Fremont , Ohio . Also named for Hayes is Hayes County , Nebraska . Hayes was elected a member of the American Antiquarian Society in 1890 .

which president entered the white house after the heavily disputed election of 1876
[ "In 1876, Hayes was elected president in one of the most contentious elections in national history. He lost the popular vote to Democrat Samuel J. Tilden but he won an intensely disputed electoral college vote after a Congressional commission awarded him twenty contested electoral votes. The result was the Compromise of 1877, in which the Democrats acquiesced to Hayes's election on the condition that he withdraw remaining U.S. troops protecting Republican office holders in the South, thus officially ending the Reconstruction era.\n" ]

It was long known around the world as the home of the Formula One United States Grand Prix , which it hosted for twenty consecutive years ( 1961 -- 1980 ) , but the site has been home to road racing of nearly every class , including the World Sportscar Championship , Trans - Am , Can - Am , Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series , the International Motor Sports Association and the IndyCar Series . Initially , public roads in the village were used for the race course . In 1956 a permanent circuit for the race was built . In 1968 the race was extended to six hours , becoming the 6 Hours of Watkins Glen . The circuit 's current layout has more or less been the same since 1971 , although a chicane was installed at the uphill Esses in 1975 to slow cars through these corners , where there was a fatality during practice at the 1973 United States Grand Prix . The chicane was removed in 1985 , but another chicane called the `` Inner Loop '' was installed in 1992 after a fatal accident during the previous year 's NASCAR Winston Cup event . The circuit is known as the Mecca of North American road racing and is a very popular venue among fans and drivers . The facility is currently owned by International Speedway Corporation . The circuit also has been the site of music concerts : the 1973 Summer Jam , featuring The Allman Brothers Band , the Grateful Dead and The Band and attended by 600,000 fans , and two Phish festivals : Super Ball IX in 2011 and Magnaball in 2015 .

Currently , two distinct layouts are used -- the `` Boot '' layout ( long course ) and the `` NASCAR '' layout ( short course ) . Public roads ( edit ) The first races in Watkins Glen were initiated by Cameron Argetsinger , whose family had a summer home in the area . With Chamber of commerce approval and SCCA sanction , the first Watkins Glen Grand Prix took place in 1948 on a 6.6 - mile ( 10.6 km ) course over local public roads . For the first few years , the races passed through the heart of the town with spectators lining the sidewalks , but after a car driven by Fred Wacker left the road in the 1952 race , killing seven - year - old Frank Fazzari and injuring several others , the race was moved to a new location on a wooded hilltop southwest of town . The original 6.6 - mile ( 10.6 km ) course is listed in the New York State register and National Register of Historic Places as the Watkins Glen Grand Prix Course , 1948 - 1952 . The second layout 4.6 - mile ( 7.4 km ) began use in 1953 and also used existing roads . The Watkins Glen Grand Prix Corporation was formed to manage spectators , parking , and concessions . This arrangement lasted three years . Grand Prix course ( edit ) Watkins Glen from 1956 -- 1970 The first permanent course was constructed on 550 acres , overlapping part of the previous street course . It was designed by Bill Milliken , and engineering professors from Cornell University . The layout measured 2.35 - mile ( 3.78 km ) . This course was used from 1956 -- 1970 . In 1968 the race was extended to six hours . Short course ( edit ) The short course at Watkins Glen International with the Inner Loop . This is the layout NASCAR utilizes . The full Long Course ( 1971 -- 1991 ) including the `` Boot '' ; the 1971 Six Hours layout is illustrated with the gray connection after the Outer Loop The full Long Course with the `` Boot '' and the Inner Loop ( 1992 - present ) . The circuit underwent a major overhaul for the 1971 season . The `` Big Bend '' and the turns leading up to it were eliminated , and replaced with a new pit straight . The pits and start / finish line were relocated to this new straightaway . `` The 90 '' now became turn one instead of turn 8 . When the 1971 Six Hours of Watkins Glen arrived in July 1971 , the overall circuit renovations were still unfinished . The short course had been finished , but the Boot segments were not complete , nor was the new pit area . The 1971 Six Hours race was run on the short course layout , and that layout colloquially became known as the 1971 Six Hours Course . In addition , for 1971 only , the cars used the original start / finish line and the old pits . When NASCAR returned to the track in 1986 , they chose to use the short course layout . IMSA originally used the `` Boot '' , but eventually , that series also began using the shorter 1971 layout . The short course was slightly lengthened in 1992 ( see `` Inner Loop '' below ) . Long course ( the `` Boot '' ) ( edit ) The most significant change to the track had not been completed for the 1971 Six Hours , but was finished in time for the Formula One race that autumn . The start - finish line was relocated to the new pit straight as planned . The new segment known as `` The Boot '' was completed in time for the race . At the end of the backstretch , after the Loop - Chute , cars swept left into a new four - turn complex that departed from the old layout , curling left - hand downhill through the woods . The track followed the edge of the hillside to two consecutive uphill right - hand turns , over an exciting blind crest into a right - hand turn , down and up into a left - hand turn re-joining the old track . Its unique foot - like shape gave it the nickname the `` Boot . '' The new layout including the `` Boot '' measured 3.377 miles ( 5.435 km ) . With its intrinsic link to the Formula One race , it became known colloquially as the Grand Prix Circuit . For 1972 , the Six Hours sports car race also began utilizing the full `` Boot '' layout . By that time , nearly all facility improvements were completed , and the pits and start / finish line were permanently relocated to the new pit straight . In 1975 , a fast right - left chicane was added in the turn 3 - 4 Esses section ( called the `` Scheckter Chicane '' ) to slow speeds through the series of corners . This chicane was eliminated in the 1980s . In the early 1990s , the IMSA sports cars began bypassing the `` Boot '' in favor of the short course . To date , NASCAR events have never used the Boot layout . The `` Long / Boot '' course was slightly lengthened in 1992 ( see `` Inner Loop '' below ) . In the mid-2000s , the Boot segment , which had seen little use in many years , was repaved and upgraded . When the IndyCar Series returned to Watkins Glen starting in 2005 , they elected to utilize the Boot segment . A full repaving of the course took place in 2015 , and in recent years , there has been a renewed interest and appreciation of the full Grand Prix Course layout . Consideration had even been made for NASCAR to start using the Boot . Inner Loop ( edit ) After a succession of serious crashes took place at the `` Loop '' at the end of the backstretch , a major change was made to the track 's layout . During the 1989 Bud at the Glen , Geoff Bodine blew a tire at the end of the backstretch . He broke into a hard spin , and sailed straight off the track , crashing head - on into the barrier . In 1991 , during the IMSA Camel Continental VIII , Tommy Kendall 's Intrepid RM - 1 prototype crashed in the Loop , severely injuring his legs . Seven weeks later , NASCAR Winston Cup driver J.D. McDuffie died in an accident at the same site during the 1991 Budweiser at The Glen . In reaction to the crashes , for 1992 track officials constructed a bus stop chicane along the back straight just before arriving at the Loop . Dubbed the `` Inner Loop '' , it led into what was now being called , the `` Outer Loop . '' This addition slightly increased the lap distance for both layouts . History ( edit ) Watkins Glen Grand Prix ( edit ) Along with the annual SCCA race , the track hosted its first professional race ( NASCAR Grand National Division ) in 1957 . It hosted its first international event with the Formula Libre races from 1958 -- 1960 . Among the drivers participating were Jack Brabham , Stirling Moss , Phil Hill , and Dan Gurney . United States Grand Prix ( edit ) 1973 United States Grand Prix ticket After two editions of the Formula One United States Grand Prix that were deemed less - than - successful ( Sebring in 1959 , and Riverside in 1960 ) , promoters were looking for a new venue to become the permanent home for the United States Grand Prix . In 1961 , just six weeks before the scheduled date for another Formula Libre race that fall , Argetsinger was tapped to prepare Watkins Glen for the final round of the Formula One World Championship . While many of the necessary preparations had already been made , new pits were constructed to satisfy European standards of pit boxes with overhead cover . Seven American drivers participated , and the race was won by British driver Innes Ireland in a Lotus - Climax with American Dan Gurney driving a Porsche 718 coming in second . Having already won both Driver 's and Constructor 's World Championships and still mourning the death of Wolfgang von Trips at Monza , Ferrari decided not to compete in the United States GP . Ferrari 's decision not to travel to the United States for the season 's final round deprived Hill of the opportunity to participate in his home race as the newly crowned World Champion , and Hill appeared only as the event 's Grand Marshal . The United States Grand Prix at Watkins Glen quickly became an autumnal tradition as huge crowds of knowledgeable racing fans flocked to Upstate New York each year amid the spectacular autumn colors of the region . The race was also among the most popular on the global Grand Prix calendar with the teams and drivers because its starting and prize money often exceeded those of the other races combined . The race received the Grand Prix Drivers ' Association award for the best organized and best staged GP of the season in 1965 , 1970 , and 1972 . Tom Pryce at the 1975 United States Grand Prix in the Boot 's main straight One fixture of the USGP at Watkins Glen was the starter for the races , Richard Norman `` Tex '' Hopkins . Wearing a lavender suit , clenching a big cigar in his mouth , and giving the job everything he had , Hopkins was the most recognizable starter in Grand Prix racing . Once the cars had taken their places , Hopkins strode across the front of the grid with his back to the field , turned , and jumped into the air while waving the national flag to start the race . At the finish , he would meet the winner in similar fashion , this time waving the checkered flag as the car crossed the line . Before the 1971 race , the course underwent its most significant changes of the Grand Prix era , as it was extended from 2.35 miles ( 3.78 km ) to 3.377 miles ( 5.435 km ) by the addition of four corners in a new section called the ' Boot ' or ' Anvil ' . The new layout departed from the old course near the south end into a curling downhill left - hand turn through the woods . The track followed the edge of the hillside to two consecutive right - hand turns , over an exciting blind crest to a left - hand turn , and back onto the old track . In addition , the circuit was widened and resurfaced , and both the pits and start - finish line were moved back before the northwest right - angle corner known as `` The 90 '' and in 1975 , a fast right - left chicane was added in the Esses section to slow speeds through the series of corners . Despite the improvements , the circuit became unsafe for the increasingly faster and stiffer ground effect cars of the late 1970s and a few horrendous , sometimes fatal accidents ( such as those that claimed the lives of Helmut Koinigg and François Cevert ) . Increasingly rowdy segments of the crowd began to tarnish its image as well . Finally , in May , 1981 , several months after Alan Jones had won the 1980 race for Williams , the International Auto Sports Federation removed the race from its schedule because the track had failed to pay its $800,000 debt to the teams . American road - racing Mecca ( edit ) The Glen hosted a variety of other events throughout the Grand Prix years : from Can - Am , Trans - Am , IROC , and Endurance Sports car racing , to Formula 5000 and the CART series , these races strengthened the circuit 's reputation as the premier road racing facility in the United States . From 1968 through 1981 , the `` Six Hours at The Glen '' endurance race featured top drivers such as Mario Andretti , Jacky Ickx , Pedro Rodríguez , and Derek Bell . Different races were sometimes featured together on the same weekend ( e.g. , Six Hours and Can - Am ) and drew sizable crowds , but without a Formula One race , the circuit struggled to survive . It finally declared bankruptcy and closed in 1981 . Renovation ( edit ) For two years , the track was not well maintained and hosted only a few SCCA meets without spectators . In 1983 , Corning Enterprises , a subsidiary of nearby Corning , partnered with International Speedway Corporation to purchase the track and rename it , Watkins Glen International . The renovated track , with the chicane at the bottom of the Esses removed , reopened in 1984 with the return of IMSA with the Camel Continental I , which would be conducted until 1995 , with the last two years under the name `` The Glen Continental '' after Camel 's withdrawal from IMSA . ( The event was numbered with Roman numerals . ) In 1986 , the top NASCAR series returned to Watkins Glen after a long layoff , holding one of only three road races on its schedule ( two beginning in 1988 ) , using the 1971 Six Hours course , raced when the new section off the Loop - Chute was not finished in time . As the cars come off the Loop - Chute , instead of making the downhill left into Turn 6 , the cars shot straight through the straight , and headed toward Turn 10 , as was the case from 1961 until 1970 . NASCAR Busch Series ( now called Xfinity Series ) action would arrive in 1991 with a 150 - mile ( 240 km ) race on the weekend of the Camel Continental , won by Terry Labonte , who would be a master of the circuit during its Busch Series races , winning the inaugural race , and winning three consecutive races from 1995 until 1997 . The 1995 race would be the first conducted as a 200 - mile ( 320 km ) race , and became the first Busch Series race to be televised on broadcast network television , as CBS broadcast the race live until TNN took over in 1997 . Only twice -- 1998 and 1999 -- did a Busch Series regular driver win the race . The first seven races were won by Winston Cup Series ( Now Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series ) regular drivers , sometimes referred as `` Buschwhackers '' , during their off - week . In 1998 , the race went against the Cup race in Sonoma , California , eliminating the idea , and stayed that way until 2000 . In 2001 , the race was run the day after the first Saturday in July . The race was eliminated from the schedule after the 2001 season , however , only to return in 2005 as an undercard to the Nextel Cup ( now Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series ) race . The Start / Finish line at Watkins Glen International A pair of incidents which took place in 1991 resulted in a massive overhaul of the circuit 's safety . During the IMSA Camel Continental VIII , Tommy Kendall 's prototype crashed in Turn 5 , severely injuring his legs . Seven weeks later , NASCAR Cup Series driver J.D. McDuffie died in an accident at the same site in the 1991 Bud at the Glen . Track officials added a bus stop chicane to the back straight in Spring 1992 . In 1996 , the Glen Continental reverted to a six - hour format , and was once again called the Six Hours at the Glen with the IMSA format , and stayed there until a split in American sports car racing . In 1998 , the race became an event sanctioned by the Sports Car Club of America under their United States Road Racing Championship . In 1999 , the FIA GT series staged a 500 km race of three hours with some USRRC entrants after USRRC canceled the last two rounds of their season before their six - hour event at the track . The following year , the six - hour race returned once again with the newly founded Grand American Road Racing Association ( Grand - Am ) sanctioning the event . The event is now sanctioned by IMSA with the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship . The six - hour race is now the third part of the four part North American Endurance Cup series . In 1997 , International Speedway Corporation became the sole owner of the course , as Corning Enterprises believed they had completed their intended goals to rebuild the race track and increase tourism in the southern Finger Lakes region of New York State . The circuit annually hosts one of the nation 's premier vintage events , the Zippo U.S. Vintage Grand Prix . When the fiftieth anniversary of road racing in Watkins Glen was celebrated during the 1998 racing season , this event was the climax , returning many original cars and drivers to the original 6.6 - mile ( 10.6 km ) street circuit through the village during the Grand Prix Festival Race Reenactment . After a 25 - year layoff , major - league open wheel racing returned to the track as one of three road courses on the 2005 Indy Racing League schedule . In preparation , the circuit was overhauled again . Grandstands from Pennsylvania 's Nazareth Speedway , which had closed , were installed , the gravel in The 90 was removed and replaced with a paved runoff area , and curbing was cut down for the Indy Racing League event . Previously , the high curbing in the chicane had become a place where Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series cars would bounce high off the curbing , creating an ideal opportunity for cars to lose control , and to slow cars . Other areas of the track received improvements as well : the exits of turn 2 ( the bottom of the esses ) , the chicane , turn 6 ( the entrance to the boot ) , turn 9 , and turn 11 all had additional runoff areas created and safety barrier upgrades . The carousel run off was paved , as well as turn 1 ( the 90 ) and the esses were paved in the winter of 2006 -- 07 . Augmenting what was already in place along the front stretch , additional high safety fences were installed on the overpasses crossing the service roads at the top of the esses and just out of the boot immediately after the exit of turn 9 . Cars drive through the Esses during the 2014 Sahlen 's Six Hours of The Glen . Another overhaul for 2006 made fundamental changes to the circuit for the first time since 1992 . Officials installed a new control tower , which includes booths for the officials , timing and scoring , television and radio ( the new position allows broadcasters to see more action from Turn 10 through the foot of the Esses ) , and the public address announcer on top of the new front stretch grandstand , moving the start - finish line farther ahead of the bridge , as the start - finish line is moved 380 feet ( 120 m ) farther toward The 90 in order to accommodate the new timing and scoring post . The new start - finish line also meant the starting lights used for club races were moved farther ahead , creating more action off Turn 11 as tactics changed with the later finish line , where slingshot moves could become paramount to the finish . A new media center was constructed to replace the former building , which also had been the control tower with the 1971 improvements . The aging structure had been the bane of many professional media members during those years with many uncomplimentary things published and broadcast about its inadequacies , especially the lack of insulation , air conditioning , few ( if any ) amenities that other facilities had , which resulted in race control moving to the new control tower at the start - finish line in 2006 . Plans were made to move the new media center back in order to allow a full 43 - car NASCAR grid . Other changes to the infrastructure included the purchase of adjoining property . Most of Bronson Hill Road was incorporated as a service road to the facility . A new section of Bronson Hill leading up from NY 414 was built as the main ingress road to the facility , bending south at Gate 6 and continuing to County Road 16 , just south of the credentials and sheriff 's office buildings . Watkins Glen International Garage Area Track safety also is changing always and constant training is needed . Race Services Inc. provides the track with volunteers to work Fire - Rescue , Medical , Grid personnel , and Corner workers to help keep both the drivers and spectators safe . The Argetsinger family is an advisor to the circuit , and the track named the trophy for the inaugural Watkins Glen Indy Grand Prix presented by Argent in honour of the late patriarch , Cameron . On March 6 , 2007 , just before 9 pm , fire destroyed the recently remodeled Glen Club situated on top of the esses . Originally called the Onyx Club ( named for the sponsor , Onyx Cologne ) , the Glen Club was used primarily as an upscale venue for race fans . After being recently remodeled , it was being advertised as a social venue for locals to use for weddings , business meetings , etc . No cause could be determined and the building was a total loss . The loss included irreplaceable , unique original motorsport artwork donated to the facility by several artists along with other racing memorabilia . Glen officials were quoted in local media stories as being adamant that the loss of the Glen Club would not affect the 2007 racing schedule . For 2007 , Watkins Glen International again made improvements to the facility , specifically the track surface . All of turns 1 ( the `` 90 '' ) , 5 ( the `` Loop - Chute '' ) and 6 ( entry turn into the `` Boot '' ) were repaved . A temporary `` Glen Club '' replaced the permanent structure destroyed by fire at the races in 2007 which was replaced with another permanent building . New sponsors for both the INDY and NASCAR weekends were signed to multi-year deals . Camping World became the sponsor of the `` Camping World Grand Prix '' INDY weekend at the Glen through 2010 . The NASCAR weekend at the Glen received a double shot -- Zippo Manufacturing announced a three - year extension of the Busch - Nationwide Series race , the `` Zippo 200 '' . The NASCAR Cup Series race became known as `` The Heluva Good ! Sour Cream dips at the Glen '' . Additionally , Brad Penn lubricants of Pennsylvania ( former Kendall Oil refinery ) was announced as the sponsor of the annual vintage sports car weekend for 2007 and 2008 . IndyCar took a six - year hiatus from the facility when the series pulled out of the Glen after 2010 due to a dispute with track owner ISC . In June 2011 , Tony Stewart and Lewis Hamilton participated in the `` Mobil 1 Seat Swap '' . Stewart drove his No. 14 Mobil 1 Chevy for four laps around the circuit while Hamilton drove the MP4 - 23 , Vodafone McLaren Mercedes 's entry in the 2008 Formula One season . After some time , both drivers swapped cars and drove more laps around the circuit . The event was open to the public and it was hoped that it would renew interest in the track . Before this event the curves on some of the turns were changed , the white rumble strips being replaced by the more common , red - white designs seen on most road courses around the world . In July 2011 , WGI hosted a Phish concert . This is the first concert that WGI has held since the Summer Jam . In October 2012 , the track suffered damage from Hurricane Sandy , with damage reported to be up to $50,000 . Marcos Ambrose celebrating the Finger Lakes 355 at the Glen Prior to the 2014 season , the track was cleaning out a storage barn on track property when the original Dunlop Bridge was found . The bridge was originally used as a VIP area for Dunlop until being moved for use as the starters stand years later . It was taken down and replaced by a new starters stand during renovations in 2006 . The bridge was put back up at the exit to the 90 near the original location where it once stood near the original start / finish line for the track and is now once again used for VIP use by companies on race weekends with the company sponsoring the bridge . After the 2014 racing season , it was announced that the 2015 racing season would conclude with the NASCAR weekend in early August . This was to allow for a complete repaving of the track . The repave involved removing the entire racing surface . In some places , the track was taken down to the dirt road bed . This was funded not only by International Speedway Corporation , but with a grant from New York State . In March 2015 , owing to the success of their previous concert , Phish said they would do another concert at WGI in late August . In August 2015 , with repaving already having taken place in the Boot , NASCAR announced that they are considering running the full Grand Prix Course . 2016 would see the return of IndyCar racing to Watkins Glen , with the track being added to the schedule following the collapse of plans for a street race in Boston . It was held over the Labor Day weekend and used the full layout : ICS officials were also in negotiations with WGI to race there on a permanent basis .

The economy of Venezuela is largely based on the petroleum sector and manufacturing . In 2014 , total trade amounted to 48.1 % of the country 's GDP . Exports accounted for 16.7 % of GDP and petroleum products accounted for about 95 % of those exports . Venezuela is the sixth largest member of OPEC by oil production . Since the 1920s , Venezuela has been a rentier state , offering oil as its main export . From the 1950s to the early 1980s , the Venezuelan economy experienced a steady growth that attracted many immigrants , with the nation enjoying the highest standard of living in Latin America . During the collapse of oil prices in the 1980s , the economy contracted the monetary sign , commenced a progressive devaluation and inflation skyrocketed to reach peaks of 84 % in 1989 and 99 % in 1996 , three years prior to Hugo Chávez taking office . The nation , however , has experienced hyperinflation since 2015 far exceeding the oil price collapse of the 1990s . Venezuela manufactures and exports heavy industry products such as steel , aluminum and cement . Production is concentrated around Ciudad Guayana , near the Guri Dam , one of the largest dams in the world and the provider of about three - quarters of Venezuela 's electricity . Other notable manufacturing includes electronics and automobiles as well as beverages and foodstuffs . Agriculture in Venezuela accounts for approximately 4.4 % of GDP , 7.3 % of the labor force and at least one - fourth of Venezuela 's land area . Venezuela exports rice , corn , fish , tropical fruit , coffee , pork and beef . The country is not self - sufficient in most areas of agriculture . In spite of strained relations between the two countries , the United States has been Venezuela 's most important trading partner . American exports to Venezuela have included machinery , agricultural products , medical instruments and cars . Venezuela is one of the top four suppliers of foreign oil to the United States . About 500 American companies are represented in Venezuela . According to Central Bank of Venezuela , between 1998 and 2008 the government received around 325 billion USD through oil production and exports in general . According to the International Energy Agency ( as of August 2015 ) , the production of 2.4 million barrels per day supplied 500,000 barrels to the United States . Since the Bolivarian Revolution half - dismantled its PDVSA oil giant corporation in 2002 by firing most of its 20,000 - strong dissident professional human capital and imposed stringent currency controls in 2003 in an attempt to prevent capital flight , there has been a steady decline in oil production and exports and a series of stern currency devaluations , disrupting the economy . Further yet , price controls , expropriation of numerous farmlands and various industries , among other disputable government policies including a near - total freeze on any access to foreign currency at reasonable `` official '' exchange rates , have resulted in severe shortages in Venezuela and steep price rises of all common goods , including food , water , household products , spare parts , tools and medical supplies ; forcing many manufacturers to either cut production or close down , with many ultimately abandoning the country as has been the case with several technological firms and most automobile makers . In 2015 , Venezuela had over 100 % inflation -- the highest in the world and the highest in the country 's history at that time . According to independent sources , the rate increased to 4,000 % in 2017 with Venezuela spiraling into hyperinflation while the population poverty rate was between 76 % and 87 % . On 14 November 2017 , credit rating agencies declared that Venezuela was in default with its debt payments , with Standard & Poor 's categorizing Venezuela as being in `` selective default '' .

However , oil history was made in 1943 when Standard Oil of New Jersey accepted a new agreement in Venezuela based on the 50 -- 50 principle , `` a landmark event '' . Terms even more favorable to Venezuela were negotiated in 1945 after a coup brought to power a left - leaning government that included Juan Pablo Pérez Alfonso . From the 1950s to the early 1980s , the Venezuelan economy , which was buoyed by high oil prices , was one of the strongest and most prosperous in South America . The continuous growth during that period attracted many immigrants . In 1958 , a new government , again included Pérez Alfonso , devised a plan for the international oil cartel that would become OPEC . In 1973 , Venezuela voted to nationalize its oil industry outright , effective 1 January 1976 , with Petróleos de Venezuela ( PDVSA ) presiding over a number of holding companies . In subsequent years , Venezuela built a vast refining and marketing system in the United States and Europe . During Pérez Jimenez ' dictatorship from 1952 to 1958 , Venezuela enjoyed remarkably high GDP growth , so that in the late 1950s Venezuela 's real GDP per capita almost reached that of West Germany . In 1950 , Venezuela was the world 's 4th largest wealthiest nation per capita . However , Romulo Betancourt ( President from 1959 to 1964 ) inherited from 1958 -- 1959 onward an enormous internal and external debt caused by rampant public spending during the dictatorship . Nevertheless , he managed to balance Venezuela 's public budget and initiate an unsuccessful agrarian reform . 1960s -- 1990s ( edit ) Buoyed by a strong oil sector in the 1960s and 1970s , Venezuela 's governments were able to maintain social harmony by spending fairly large amounts on public programs including health care , education , transport and food subsidies . Literacy and welfare programs benefited tremendously from these conditions . Because of the oil wealth , Venezuelan workers `` enjoyed the highest wages in Latin America '' . This situation was reversed when oil prices collapsed during the 1980s . When world oil prices collapsed in the 1980s , the economy contracted and inflation levels ( consumer price inflation ) rose , remaining between 6 and 12 % from 1982 to 1986 . The inflation rate peaked in 1989 at 84 % , the year the capital city of Caracas suffered from rioting during the Caracazo following the cut of government spending and the opening of markets by President Carlos Andrés Pérez . After Pérez initiated such liberal economic policies and made Venezuelan markets more free , Venezuela 's GDP went from a - 8.3 % decline in 1989 to growing 4.4 % in 1990 and 9.2 % in 1991 , though wages remained low and unemployment was high among Venezuelans . Some state that neoliberalism was the cause of Venezuelan economic difficulties , though overreliance on oil prices and a fractured political system without parties agreeing on policies caused many of the problems . By the mid-1990s , Venezuela under President Rafael Caldera saw annual inflation rates of 50 -- 60 % from 1993 to 1997 with an exceptional peak in 1996 at 100 % . The number of people living in poverty rose from 36 % in 1984 to 66 % in 1995 , with the country suffering a severe banking crisis ( Venezuelan banking crisis of 1994 ) . In 1998 , the economic crisis had grown even worse . Per capita GDP was at the same level as 1963 ( after adjusting 1963 dollar to 1998 value ) , down a third from its 1978 peak ; and the purchasing power of the average salary was a third of its 1978 level . 1999 -- 2013 ( edit ) Main article : Economic policy of the Hugo Chávez government In 2016 , Venezuela had the highest annual inflation in the world ( Venezuela is the country colored pink in northern South America ) Venezuela 's historic inflation rate beside annual oil revenues Sources : EIA 1 , EIA 2 , International Monetary Fund : Data & Statistics ( 1980 -- 2008 ; 2015 ) , CIA : The World Factbook ( 2009 -- 2014 ) , Business Insider ( 2014 , 2015 ) Hugo Chávez was elected President in December 1998 and took office in February 1999 . In 2000 , oil prices soared , offering Chávez funds not seen since Venezuela 's economic collapse in the 1980s . Chávez then used economic policies that were more social democratic than those of his predecessors , using populist approaches with oil funds that made Venezuela 's economy dependent on high oil prices . Chávez also played a leading role within OPEC to reinvigorate the organization and obtain members ' adherence to lower quotas designed to drive up the oil price . Alí Rodríguez Araque , the Venezuelan oil minister , gave an announcement in 1999 that his country would respect OPEC production quotas , which marked `` a historic turnaround from the nation 's traditional pro-US oil policy '' . In the first four years of the Chávez presidency , the economy grew at first ( 1999 -- 2001 ) , then contracted from 2001 -- 2003 to GDP levels similar to 1997 . At first , the economic decline was due to low oil prices , but it was fueled by the turmoil of the 2002 coup attempt and the 2002 -- 2003 business strike . Other factors of the decline were an exodus of capital from the country and a reluctance of foreign investors . GDP was 50.0 trillion bolivares in 1998 . At the bottom of the recession in 2003 , it was 42.4 trillion bolivares ( in constant 1998 bolivares ) . However , GDP rebounded 50.1 trillion bolivares with a calmer political situation in 2004 and rose to 66.1 trillion bolivares in 2007 ( both in constant 1998 bolivares ) . The government sought international assistance to finance reconstruction after massive flooding and landslides in December 1999 caused an estimated US $15 billion to $20 billion in damage . The hardest hit sectors in the worst recession years ( 2002 -- 2003 ) were construction ( − 55.9 % ) , petroleum ( − 26.5 % ) , commerce ( − 23.6 % ) and manufacturing ( − 22.5 % ) . The drop in the petroleum sector was caused by adherence to the OPEC quota established in 2002 and the virtual cessation of exports during the PdVSA - led general strike of 2002 -- 2003 . The non-petroleum sector of the economy contracted by 6.5 % in 2002 . The bolivar , which had been suffering from serious inflation and devaluation relative to international standards since the late 1980s , continued to weaken . The inflation rate as measured by consumer price index was 35.8 % in 1998 , falling to a low of 12.5 % in 2001 and rising to 31.1 % in 2003 . Historically , the highest yearly inflation was 100 % in 1996 . In an attempt to support the bolivar , bolster the government 's declining level of international reserves and mitigate the adverse impact from the oil industry work stoppage on the financial system , the Ministry of Finance and the central bank suspended foreign exchange trading on 23 January 2003 . On 6 February , the government created CADIVI , a currency control board charged with handling foreign exchange procedures . The board set the US $ exchange rate at 1,596 bolivares to the dollar for purchases and 1,600 to the dollar for sales . The housing market in Venezuela shrunk significantly with developers avoiding Venezuela due to the massive number of companies who have had their property expropriated by the government . According to The Heritage Foundation and The Wall Street Journal , Venezuela had the weakest property rights in the world , scoring only 5.0 on a scale of 100 , with expropriation without compensation being common . The shortage of housing is so significant that in 2007 a group of squatters occupied Centro Financiero Confinanzas , a cancelled economic center that was supposed to symbolize Venezuela 's growing economy . The Venezuelan economy shrank 5.8 % in the first three months of 2010 compared to the same period of 2009 and had the highest inflation rate in Latin America at 30.5 % . President Chávez expressed optimism that Venezuela would emerge from recession despite the International Monetary Fund ( IMF ) forecasts showing that Venezuela would be the only country in the region to remain in recession that year . The IMF qualified the economic recovery of Venezuela as `` delayed and weak '' in comparison with other countries of the region . Following Chavez 's death in early 2013 , Venezuela 's economy continued to fall into an even greater recession . 2013 -- Present ( edit ) Main articles : 2013 -- present economic crisis in Venezuela and Crisis in Venezuela ( 2012 - present ) Shortages in Venezuela leave store shelves empty According to the misery index in 2013 , Venezuela ranked as the top spot globally with the highest misery index score . The International Finance Corporation ranked Venezuela one of the lowest countries for doing business with , ranking it 180 of 185 countries for its Doing Business 2013 report with protecting investors and taxes being its worst rankings . In early 2013 , the bolívar fuerte was devalued due to growing shortages in Venezuela . The shortages included necessities such as toilet paper , milk and flour . Shortages also affected healthcare in Venezuela , with the University of Caracas Medical Hospital ceasing to perform surgeries due to the lack of supplies in 2014 . The Bolivarian government 's policies also made it difficult to import drugs and other medical supplies . Due to such complications , many Venezuelans died avoidable deaths with medical professionals having to use limited resources using methods that were replaced decades ago . An opposition protester during the 2014 Venezuelan protests holding a sign saying : `` I protest for the scarcity . Where can we get these ? '' In 2014 , Venezuela entered an economic recession having its GDP growth decline to - 3.0 % . Venezuela was placed at the top of the misery index for the second year in a row . The Economist said Venezuela was `` ( p ) robably the world 's worst - managed economy '' . Citibank believed that `` the economy has little prospect of improvement '' and that the state of the Venezuelan economy was a `` disaster '' . The Doing Business 2014 report by the International Finance Corporation and the World Bank ranked Venezuela one score lower than the previous year , then 181 out of 185 . The Heritage Foundation ranked Venezuela 175th out of 178 countries in economic freedom for 2014 , classifying it as a `` repressed '' economy according to the principles the foundation advocates . According to Foreign Policy , Venezuela was ranked last in the world on its Base Yield Index due to low returns that investors receive when investing in Venezuela . In a 2014 report titled Scariest Places on the Business Frontiers by Zurich Financial Services and reported by Bloomberg , Venezuela was ranked as the riskiest emerging market in the world . Many companies such as Toyota , Ford Motor Co. , General Motors Company , Air Canada , Air Europa , American Airlines , Copa Airlines , TAME , TAP Airlines and United Airlines slowed or stopped operation due to the lack of hard currency in the country , with Venezuela owing such foreign companies billions of dollars . Venezuela also dismantled CADIVI , a government body in charge of currency exchange . CADIVI was known for holding money from the private sector and was suspected to be corrupt . Venezuela again topped the misery index according to the World Bank in 2015 . The IMF predicted in October 2015 an inflation rate of 159 % for the year 2015 -- the highest rate in Venezuelan history and the highest rate in the world -- and that the economy would contract by 10 % . According to leaked documents from the Central Bank of Venezuela , the country ended 2015 with an inflation rate of 270 % and a shortage rate of goods over 70 % . Play media Venezuelans eating from garbage in late 2015 President Nicolás Maduro reorganized his economic cabinet in 2016 with the group mainly consisting of leftist Venezuelan academics . According to Bank of America 's investment division Merrill Lynch , Maduro 's new cabinet was expected to tighten currency and price controls in the country . Alejandro Werner , the head of IMF 's Latin American Department , stated that 2015 figures released by the Central Bank of Venezuela were not accurate and that Venezuela 's inflation for 2015 was 275 % . Other forecast inflation figures by IMF and Bank of America were 720 % and 1,000 % in 2016 , Analysts believed that the Venezuelan government has been manipulating economic statistics , especially since they did not report adequate data since late 2014 . According to economist Steve Hanke of Johns Hopkins University , the Central Bank of Venezuela delayed the release of statistics and lied about figures much like the Soviet Union did , with Hanke saying that a lie coefficient had to be used to observe Venezuela 's economic data . By 2016 , media outlets said that Venezuela was suffering an economic collapse with the IMF estimating a 500 % inflation rate and 10 % contraction in the GDP . In December 2016 , monthly inflation exceeded 50 percent for the 30th consecutive day , meaning the Venezuelan economy was officially experiencing hyperinflation , making it the 57th country to be added to the Hanke - Krus World Hyperinflation Table . On 25 August 2017 , it was reported that new United States sanctions against Venezuela did not ban trading of the country 's existing non-government bonds , with the sanctions instead including restrictions intended to block the government 's ability to fund itself . On 26 January 2018 , the government ended the protected , subsidized fixed exchange rate mechanism that was highly overvalued as a result of rampant inflation . The National Assembly ( led by the opposition ) said inflation in 2017 was over 4,000 % , a level other independent economists also agreed with . In February , the government launched an oil backed cryptocurrency called the petro . Bloomberg 's Cafe Con Leche Index calculated the price increase for a cup of coffee to have increased by 718 % in the 12 weeks before 18 January 2018 , an annualized inflation rate of 448,000 % . The finance commission of the National Assembly noted in July 2018 that prices were doubling every 28 days with an annualized inflation rate of 25,000 % . The country was heading for a selective default in 2017 . In early 2018 , the country was in default , meaning it could not pay its lenders . Sectors ( edit ) Under the tenures of Hugo Chávez and his successor Nicolás Maduro , many businesses abandoned Venezuela . In 1999 , there were 13,000 companies in the country . By 2016 , less than a third of companies remained in Venezuela , with only 4,000 companies operating in the nation . Petroleum and other resources ( edit ) See also : Energy policy of Venezuela Venezuela is a major producer of petroleum products , which remain the keystone of the Venezuelan economy . The International Energy Agency shows how Venezuela 's oil production has fallen in the last years , producing only 2,300,000 barrels ( 370,000 m ) daily , down from 3.5 million in 1998 . However , the oil incomes will double its value in local currency with the recent currency devaluation . Venezuela has large energy subsidies . In 2015 , the cost of petrol was just US $0.06 per gallon , costing 23 % of government revenues . In February 2016 , the government finally decided to raise the price , but only to 6 bolivar ( about 60 ¢ at the official rate of exchange ) per litre for premium and just 1 bolivar ( 10 ¢ ) for lower - grade petrol . A range of other natural resources , including iron ore , coal , bauxite , gold , nickel and diamonds , are in various stages of development and production . In April 2000 , Venezuela 's president decreed a new mining law and regulations were adopted to encourage greater private sector participation in mineral extraction . During Venezuela 's economic crisis , the rate of gold excavated fell 64.1 % between February 2013 and February 2014 and iron production dropped 49.8 % . Venezuela mostly utilizes hydropower resources to supply power to the nation 's industries , accounting for 57 % of total consumption at the end of 2016 . However , persistent drought has severely reduced energy production from hydropower resources . The national electricity law is designed to provide a legal framework and to encourage competition and new investment in the sector . After a two - year delay , the government is proceeding with plans to privatize the various state - owned electricity systems under a different scheme than previously envisioned . Manufacturing ( edit ) This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( September 2010 ) Manufacturing contributed 15 % of GDP in 2009 . The manufacturing sector is experiencing severe difficulties , amidst lack of investment and accusations of mismanagement . Venezuela manufactures and exports steel , aluminum , transport equipment , textiles , apparel , beverages and foodstuffs . It produces cement , tires , paper , fertilizer and assembles cars both for domestic and export markets . In 2014 , General Motors Venezolana stopped automotive production after 65 years of service due to a lack of supplies while the Central Bank of Venezuela announced that the shortage rate of new automobiles was at 100 % . By the first half of 2016 , only 10 vehicles were manufactured per day in Venezuela with production dropping 86 % . In 2015 , estimates showed that Venezuela 's industrial production fell about 8 % that year alone . Agriculture ( edit ) Main article : Agriculture in Venezuela Agriculture in Venezuela accounts for approximately 3 % of GDP , 10 % of the labor force , and at least a quarter of Venezuela 's land area . Venezuela exports rice , corn , fish , tropical fruit , coffee , beef and pork . The country is not self - sufficient in most areas of agriculture . Venezuela imports about two - thirds of its food needs . In 2002 , American firms exported $347 million worth of agricultural products , including wheat , corn , soybeans , soybean meal , cotton , animal fats , vegetable oils and other items to make Venezuela one of the top two American markets in South America . The United States supplies more than one - third of Venezuela 's food imports . Recent government policies have led to problems with food shortages . Trade ( edit ) Venezuela private sector nonpetroleum exports in millions of US $ from 1997 to 2015 ( orange = goods , yellow = services ) Venezuela is a founding member of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries ( OPEC ) , the Organization of Gas Exporting Countries ( GECF ) , the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America ( ALBA ) and the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States ( CELAC ) . Petroleum constitutes 98 % of Venezuela 's exports with a value of $31.4 billion in 2017 . Thanks to petroleum exports , Venezuela usually posts a trade surplus . From 2005 , nontraditional ( i.e. nonpetroleum ) private sector exports have been declining rapidly . By 2015 , they constitute 8 % of total exports . The United States is Venezuela 's leading trade partner . During 2002 , the United States exported $4.4 billion in goods to Venezuela , making it the 25th - largest market for the United States Including petroleum products , Venezuela exported $15.1 billion in goods to the United States , making it its 14th - largest source of goods . Venezuela opposes the proposed Free Trade Area of the Americas . Since 1998 , China -- Venezuela relations have seen an increasing partnership between the government of the Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez and the People 's Republic of China . Sino - Venezuelan trade was less than $500 m per year before 1999 and reached $7.5 bn in 2009 , making China Venezuela 's second - largest trade partner and Venezuela China 's biggest investment destination in Latin America . Various bilateral deals have seen China invest billions in Venezuela and Venezuela increase exports of oil and other resources to China . China has demanded payment in oil for its exports to Venezuela because of its unwillingness to accept Venezuelan currency and the inability of Venezuela to pay in dollars or gold . show Top Trading Partners for Venezuela for 2016 Imports into Venezuela 2016 Ranking Country Value ( USD ) % World $15.1 B 100.0 % United States $5.06 B 34 % China $2.52 B 17 % Brazil $1.28 B 8.5 % Argentina $706 M 4.7 % 5 Colombia $613 M 4.1 % 6 Russia $251 M 1.7 % 7 Italy $250 M 1.7 % 8 Germany $249 M 1.6 % 9 France $233 M 1.5 % 10 Spain $227 M 1.5 % Exports from Venezuela for 2016 Ranking Country Value ( USD ) % World $26.6 B 100.0 % United States $10.3 B 39 % China $4.9 B 18 % India $4.47 B 17 % Switzerland $2.92 B 11 % 5 Singapore $1.03 B 3.9 % 6 Brazil $379 M 1.4 % 7 Sweden $261 M 0.98 % 8 Spain $251 M 0.94 % 9 Malaysia $190 M 0.71 % 10 Colombia $179 M 0.67 % Labor ( edit ) This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( September 2010 ) Under Chávez , Venezuela has also instituted worker - run `` co-management '' initiatives in which workers ' councils play a key role in the management of a plant or factory . In experimental co-managed enterprises , such as the state - owned Alcasa factory , workers develop budgets and elect both managers and departmental delegates who work together with company executives on technical issues related to production . In November 2010 , workers spent a week protesting outside factories in Valera and Valencia following the expropriation of the American bottle - maker Owens - Illinois . Labor disputes have continued to increase since the financial crisis in 2008 . According to the World Economic Forum , Venezuela is ranked as 134th of the 148 countries for economic competitiveness . Many in the private sector attribute these findings to the inflexible labor market . In recent years , a barrage of pro-worker decrees have been passed . The most significant could be the 2012 labor laws known as the LOTTT . These laws included the virtual ban on dismissal , shorter work week , improved holidays and enhanced maternity benefits . The LOTTT offers job security to most workers after the first month . Employers have reported an absenteeism rate of up to 40 % which they blame on the leniency of these labor laws . As expected , employers have been less willing to recruit . On 17 November 2014 , President Maduro issued a decree to increase the minimum salary for all workers by 15 % . The decree became effective on 1 December 2014 . As part of the May Day celebrations in honor of workers ' day , President Maduro announced on 28 April 2015 that the minimum wage would increase 30 % ; 20 % in May and 10 % in July , with the newly announced minimum wage for Venezuelans being only about $30 per month at the widely used black market rate . In September 2017 , the National Union of Workers ( UNETE ) announced that Venezuela had lost 3,345,000 jobs since the election of President Maduro . By December 2017 , the number of lost jobs increased by 400,000 to over 3,850,000 lost jobs since the start of Maduro 's tenure . Infrastructure ( edit ) In the 20th century when Venezuela benefitted from oil sales , infrastructure flourished in Venezuela . However , in recent years Venezuela 's public services and infrastructure has suffered , especially utilities such as electricity and water . Transportation ( edit ) Venezuela has an extensive road system that was initially created in the 1960s helped aid the oil and aluminum industries . The capital Caracas had a modern subway system designed by the French that was finished in 1995 , with the subway tunneling more than over 31.6 mi ( 51 km ) . In 1870 , Antonio Guzmán Blanco helped create Venezuela 's railway system . The Chavez government launched a National Railway Development Plan designed to create 15 railway lines across the country , with 8,500 miles ( 13,700 km ) of track by 2030 . The network is being built in cooperation with China Railways , which is also cooperating with Venezuela to create factories for tracks , railway cars and eventually locomotives . However , Venezuela 's rail project is being put on hold due to Venezuela not being able to pay the $7.5 billion and owing China Railway nearly $500 million . Lufthansa said it would stop all flights to Venezuela on 18 June 2016 , citing difficulties with currency controls . Other airlines also cut back on flights and required that passengers pay fares in US $ . Energy ( edit ) Main article : Energy in Venezuela The Venezuelan electrical grid is plagued with occasional blackouts in various districts of the country . In 2011 , it had so many problems that rations on electricity were put in place to help ease blackouts . On 3 September 2013 , 70 % of the country plunged into darkness with 14 of 23 states of Venezuela stating they did not have electricity for most of the day . Another power outage on 2 December 2013 left most of Venezuela in the dark again and happened just days before elections . Energy statistics ( edit ) Electricity -- production by source : Fossil fuel : 35.7 % ( 2012 est . ) Hydroelectric 64.3 ( 2012 est . ) Nuclear : 0 % ( 2012 est . ) Other : 0 % ( 2012 est . ) Electricity production : 127.6 billion kWh ( 2012 est . ) Electricity -- consumption : 85.05 billion kWh ( 2011 est . ) Electricity -- exports : 633 million kWh ( 2009 est . ) Electricity -- imports : 260 million kWh ( 2009 est . ) Electricity -- installed generating capacity : 27.5 million kW ( 2012 est . ) Statistics ( edit ) Economy data ( edit ) The blue line represents annual rates whereas the red line represents trends of annual rates given throughout the period shown ( sources : International Monetary Fund , World Bank and Central Intelligence Agency ) The Macroeconomic Stabilization Fund ( FIEM ) decreased from US $2.59 billion in January 2003 to US $700 million in October , but central bank - held international reserves actually increased from US $11.31 billion in January to US $19.67 billion in October 2003 . On the black market , the bolívar fell 28 % in 2007 to Bs . 4,750 per US $ and declined to around VEF 5.5 ( Bs 5500 ) per US $ in early 2009 . The economy recovered and grew by 16.8 % in 2004 . This growth occurred across a wide range of sectors -- the oil industry directly provides only a small percentage of employment in the country . International reserves grew to US $27 billion . Polling firm Datanalysis noted that real income in the poorest sectors of society grew by 33 % in 2004 . On 7 March 2007 , the government announced that the Venezuelan bolívar would be redenominated at a ratio of 1 to 1,000 at the beginning of 2008 and renamed the bolívar fuerte ( `` strong bolivar '' ) to ease accounting and transactions . This was carried out on 1 January 2008 , at which time the exchange rate was 2.15 bolívar fuerte per US $ . The ISO 4217 code for the bolívar fuerte is VEF . Government spending as a percentage of GDP in Venezuela in 2007 was 30 % , smaller than other mixed economies such as France ( 49 % ) and Sweden ( 52 % ) . According to official sources from the United Nations , the percentage of people below the national poverty line has decreased during the presidency of Hugo Chávez , from 48.1 % in 2002 to 28 % in 2008 . With the 2007 rise in oil prices and rising government expenditures , Venezuela 's economy grew by 9 % in 2007 . Oil prices fell starting in July 2008 , resulting in a major loss of income . Hit by a global recession , the economy contracted by 2 % in the second quarter of 2009 , contracting a further 4.5 % in the third quarter of 2009 . Chavez 's response has been that these standards mis - state economic fact and that the economy should be measured by socialistic standards . On 17 November , the Central Bank reported that private sector activity declined by 4.5 % and that inflation was averaging 26.7 % . Compounding such problems is a drought which the government says was caused by El Niño , resulting in rationing of water and electricity and a short supply of food . The year 2010 saw Venezuela still in recession as GDP has fallen by 5.8 % in the first quarter of 2010 . The Central Bank of Venezuela has stated that the recession is due largely `` to restricted access to foreign currency for imports , lower internal demand and electricity rationing '' . The oil sector 's performance was also particularly troubling , with oil GDP shrinking by 5 % . More importantly , the Central Bank hints at the root cause of the oil contraction , saying that `` the bank said it was due to falls in production , `` operative problems '' , maintenance stoppages and the channeling of diesel to run thermal generators during a power crisis `` . While the public sector of the economy has fallen 2.8 % , the private sector has dropped off 6 % . The year 2013 proved to be difficult for Venezuela as shortages of necessities and extreme inflation attacked the nation 's economy . Items became so scarce that nearly one quarter of items were not in stock . The bolívar was devalued to 6.3 per US $ in early 2013 taking one third of its value away . However , inflation still continued to rise drastically in the country to the point President Maduro forced stores to sell their items just days before elections . Maduro said that the stores were charging unreasonable prices even though the owners were only charging so much due to the actual devaluation of the bolivar . As the year 2014 began , it was pretty rough as well . The Central Bank of Venezuela stopped releasing statistics for the first time in its history as a way to possibly manipulate the image of economy . Venezuela has also dismantled CADIVI , a government body in charge of currency exchange . The following table shows the main economic indicators in 1980 -- 2017 . Inflation under 5 % is in green .

In the first few years of Chávez 's office , his newly created social programs required large payments in order to make the desired changes . On 5 February 2003 , the government created CADIVI , a currency control board charged with handling foreign exchange procedures . Its creation was to control capital flight by placing limits on individuals and only offering them so much of a foreign currency . This limit to foreign currency led to a creation of a currency black market economy since Venezuelan merchants rely on foreign goods that require payments with reliable foreign currencies . As Venezuela printed more money for their social programs , the bolívar continued to devalue for Venezuelan citizens and merchants since the government held the majority of the more reliable currencies . As of January 2018 , the strongest official exchange rate was 1 US $ to 10 VEF while the free market exchange rate was over 200,000 VEF to 1 US $ . Since merchants can only receive so much necessary foreign currency from the government , they must resort to the black market which in turn raises the merchant 's prices on consumers . The high rates in the black market make it difficult for businesses to purchase necessary goods since the government often forces these businesses to make price cuts . This leads to businesses selling their goods and making a low profit , such as Venezuelan McDonald 's franchises offering a Big Mac meal for only $1 . Since businesses make low profits , this leads to shortages since they are unable to import the goods that Venezuela is reliant on . Venezuela 's largest food producing company , Empresas Polar , has stated that they may need to suspend some production for nearly the entire year of 2014 since they owe foreign suppliers $463 million . The last report of shortages in Venezuela showed that 22.4 % of necessary goods are not in stock . This was the last report by the government since the central bank no longer posts the scarcity index . This has led to speculation that the government is hiding its inability to control the economy which may create doubt about future economic data released . Socioeconomic Indicators ( edit ) This section needs to be updated . Please update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information . ( September 2014 ) Like most Latin American countries , Venezuela has an unequal distribution of wealth . Although distribution improved when the surplus of rural labor started to diminish and the educational system improved in the middle of the 20th century , equality is far from coinciding with western standards . The rich tend to be very rich and the poor very poor . In 1970 , the poorest fifth of the population had 3 % of national income while the wealthiest fifth had 54 % . For comparison , the United Kingdom 1973 figures were 6.3 % and 38.8 % and the United States in 1972 , 4.5 % and 42.8 % . The more recent income distribution data available is for distribution per capita , not per household . The two are not strictly comparable because poor households tend to have more members than rich households , thus the per household data tends to show less inequality than the per capita data . The table below shows the available per capita data for recent years from the World Bank . Personal income distribution Year Share of personal income ( % ) received by : GINI index Poorest fifth 2nd fifth 3rd fifth 4th fifth Wealthiest fifth Wealthiest 10 % 4.7 9.2 14.0 21.5 50.6 34.2 ~ 43.42 1995 4.3 8.8 13.8 21.3 51.8 35.6 46.8 3.7 8.4 13.6 21.2 53.1 37.0 48.8 2000 4.7 9.4 14.5 22.1 45.4 29.9 42.0 3.5 -- 12.9 -- 54.8 -- 45.59 2007 5.1 -- 14.2 -- 47.7 -- 42.37 5.7 -- 14.9 -- 44.8 -- 38.98 2011 5.7 -- 15.9 -- 44.8 -- 39.02 2013 -- -- -- -- -- -- 44.8 2015 -- -- -- -- -- -- 46.9 Note that personal ( per capita ) income distribution , given in this table , is not exactly comparable with household income distribution , given in the previous table , because poor households tend to have more members .

The decreasing trend continued through the Chávez presidency , with the exception of the troubled years 2002 and 2003 . Under the Bolivarian government , poverty decreased initially when Venezuela acquired oil funds , though poverty began to increase to its highest level in decades in the 2010s .

Domestically , Chávez used such oil funds for populist policies , creating the Bolivarian missions , aimed at providing public services to improve economic , cultural and social conditions . From 1999 -- 2009 , 60 % of government revenues focused on social programs while social investment went from 8.4 % of GDP in 1988 to 18.8 % in 2008 . Despite warnings near the beginning of Chávez 's tenure in the early 2000s , Chávez 's government continuously overspent in social spending and did not save enough money for any future economic turmoil , which Venezuela faced shortly before and after his death . On the year of Chávez 's death , Venezuela was still categorized as having high human development on its Human Development Index in 2013 according to the United Nations Development Programme , although human development began to decline in Venezuela within a year , with the country dropping 10 ranks by 2014 . Poverty and hunger ( edit ) Although poverty initially declined under Chávez , Venezuela 's poverty rate increased to 28 % by 2013 , with extreme poverty rates increasing 44 % to 10 % according to the Venezuelan government 's INE . Estimates of poverty by the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean ( ECLAC ) and Luis Pedro España , a sociologist at the Universidad Católica Andrés Bello , showed an increase of poverty in Venezuela . ECLAC showed a 2013 poverty rate of 32 % while Pedro España calculated a 2015 rate of 48 % . The Venezuelan government estimated that 33 % were in poverty in the first half of 2015 and then stopped producing statistics . According to Venezuelan NGO PROVEA , by the end of 2015 there would be the same number of Venezuelans living in poverty as there was in 2000 , reversing the advancements against poverty by Chávez . The ENCOVI annual survey by three universities estimated poverty at 48 % in 2014 , 82 % in 2016 and 87 % in 2017 . In relation to hunger , under - nutrition , undernourishment and the percentage of children under the age of five who are moderately or severely underweight decreased earlier in Chávez 's tenure . However , shortages in Venezuela as a result of price control policies left the majority of Venezuelans without adequate products after his death . Since the country 's economy collapsed in 2014 , hunger and malnutrition have become a severe problem . In 2015 , close to 45 % of Venezuelans said they were unable to afford food at times . In 2018 , this figure rose to 79 % , one of the highest rates in the world . According to government figures released in April 2017 , 1,446 children under the age of 1 had died in 2016 , representing a 30 percent increase in one year . As of August 2017 , 31 million people suffered from severe food shortages . The ENCOVI universities survey found that 73 % of Venezuelans said they had lost 9 kg ( 19 lbs ) of body weight in 2016 and 64 % had lost 11 kg ( 25 lbs ) in 2017 . Education ( edit ) Main article : Education in Venezuela The total net enrollment ratio in primary education for both sexes increased from 87 % in 1999 to 93.9 % in 2009 . The primary completion rate for both sexes reached 95.1 % in 2009 as compared to 80.8 % in 1991 . The literacy rates of 15 - to 24 - year - olds in 2007 , for men and women , were 98 % and 98.8 % , respectively . During the Bolivarian diaspora , a large percentage of the millions of Venezuelans who left the country were highly educated , resulting in a brain drain in the country . Since starting in 2003 , the free government program Mission Robinson had taught more than 2.3 million people to read and write as of 2012 . The program also focused much of its attention on reaching out to geographically isolated and historically excluded members of the population , including indigenous groups and Afro - descendants . In 2008 , Francisco Rodríguez of Wesleyan University in Connecticut and Daniel Ortega of IESA stated that there was `` little evidence '' of `` statistically distinguishable effect on Venezuelan illiteracy '' during the Chávez administration . The Venezuelan government claimed that it had taught 1.5 million Venezuelans to read , but the study found that `` only 1.1 m were illiterate to begin with '' and that the illiteracy reduction of less than 100,000 can be attributed to adults that were elderly and died . Health care ( edit ) Main article : Health care in Venezuela Healthcare spending by percentage of Venezuela 's GDP Source : World Bank Following the Bolivarian Revolution and the establishment of the Bolivarian government , initial healthcare practices were promising with the installation of free healthcare and the assistance received from Cuban medical professionals providing aid . The Bolivarian government 's failure to concentrate on healthcare for Venezuelans , the reduction of healthcare spending and government corruption eventually affected medical practices in Venezuela , causing avoidable deaths along with an emigration of medical professionals to other countries . Venezuela 's reliance of imported goods and its complicated exchange rates initiated under Chávez led to increasing shortages during the late - 2000s and into the 2010s that affected the availability of medicines and medical equipment in the country . The United Nations reported an increase in the maternal mortality ratio , which increased from 93 per 100,000 in 1990 to 110 per 100,000 in 2013 . Following shortages of many medical and common goods in 2014 , Venezuelan women have had difficulties accessing contraceptives and were forced to change prescriptions or search several stores and the Internet for their medications . Shortage of antiretroviral medicines to treat HIV / AIDS affected about 50,000 Venezuelans in 2014 as well , potentially causing thousands of Venezuelans with HIV to develop AIDS . Venezuela is also the only country in Latin America where the incidence of malaria is increasing , allegedly due to illegal mining . In 2013 , Venezuela registered the highest number of cases of malaria in the past 50 years , with 300 of 100,000 Venezuelans being infected with the disease . Technology ( edit ) In 1990 , the number of Internet users was minimal , but 35.63 % of Venezuelans were Internet users by 2010 . In fact , the number of Internet subscribers has increased sixfold . Programs such as the National Technological Literacy Plan , which provides free software and computers to schools , have assisted Venezuela in meeting this goal . However , several experts state that the poor infrastructure in Venezuela had created a poor quality of Internet in Venezuela , which has one of the slowest Internet speeds in the world . The lack of US $ due to the Venezuelan governments currency controls has also damaged Internet services because technological equipment must be imported into Venezuela . The number of fixed telephone lines per 100 inhabitants was 7.56 in 1990 . The number increased to 24.44 in 2010 . In 2000 , 2,535,966 Venezuelans had landline telephones . By 2009 , this had increased to 6,866,626 . The Bolivarian government has also launched an aerospace program in cooperation with the People 's Republic of China who built and launched two satellites that are currently in orbit -- a communications satellite called Simón Bolívar and a remote sensing satellite called Miranda . In July 2014 , President Maduro announced that a third satellite would be built by Chinese -- Venezuelan bilateral cooperation .

what commodity is much of venezuelas economy based
[ "The economy of Venezuela is largely based on the petroleum sector and manufacturing.[17] In 2014, total trade amounted to 48.1% of the country's GDP. Exports accounted for 16.7% of GDP and petroleum products accounted for about 95% of those exports.[18] Venezuela is the sixth largest member of OPEC by oil production. Since the 1920s, Venezuela has been a rentier state, offering oil as its main export.[19] From the 1950s to the early 1980s, the Venezuelan economy experienced a steady growth that attracted many immigrants, with the nation enjoying the highest standard of living in Latin America. During the collapse of oil prices in the 1980s, the economy contracted the monetary sign, commenced a progressive devaluation and inflation skyrocketed to reach peaks of 84% in 1989 and 99% in 1996, three years prior to Hugo Chávez taking office. The nation, however, has experienced hyperinflation since 2015 far exceeding the oil price collapse of the 1990s.\n" ]

The dramatic view of the bridge , the harbour , and the nearby Sydney Opera House is an iconic image of Sydney , and Australia itself . The bridge is nicknamed `` The Coathanger '' because of its arch - based design . Under the direction of Dr John Bradfield of the NSW Department of Public Works , the bridge was designed and built by British firm Dorman Long and Co Ltd of Middlesbrough and opened in 1932 . The bridge 's design was influenced by the Hell Gate Bridge in New York City . It is the sixth longest spanning - arch bridge in the world and the tallest steel arch bridge , measuring 134 m ( 440 ft ) from top to water level . It was also the world 's widest long - span bridge , at 48.8 m ( 160 ft ) wide , until construction of the new Port Mann Bridge in Vancouver was completed in 2012 .

There are six original lanes of road traffic through the main roadway , plus an additional two lanes of road traffic on its eastern side , using lanes that were formerly tram tracks . Adjacent to the road traffic , a path for pedestrian use runs along the eastern side of the bridge , whilst a dedicated path for bicycle use only runs along the western side ; between the main roadway and the western bicycle path are two lanes used for railway tracks , servicing the T1 North Shore Line for Sydney Trains . The main roadway across the bridge is known as the Bradfield Highway and is about 2.4 km ( 1.5 mi ) long , making it one of the shortest highways in Australia . Arch ( edit ) One of the nuts that hold the bridge on its abutments ; this one is at the north end . The south - eastern pylon containing the tourist lookout , made of granite quarried at Moruya , NSW The arch is composed of two 28 - panel arch trusses ; their heights vary from 18 m ( 59 ft ) at the centre of the arch to 57 m ( 187 ft ) at the ends next to the pylons . The arch has a span of 504 m ( 1,654 ft ) and its summit is 134 m ( 440 ft ) above mean sea level ; expansion of the steel structure on hot days can increase the height of the arch by 18 cm ( 7.1 in ) . The total weight of the steelwork of the bridge , including the arch and approach spans , is 52,800 tonnes ( 52,000 long tons ; 58,200 short tons ) , with the arch itself weighing 39,000 tonnes ( 38,000 long tons ; 43,000 short tons ) . About 79 % of the steel was imported from England , with the rest being sourced from Newcastle . On site , the contractors ( Dorman Long and Co . ) set up two workshops at Milsons Point , at the site of the present day Luna Park , and fabricated the steel into the girders and other required parts . The bridge is held together by six million Australian - made hand - driven rivets supplied by the McPherson company of Melbourne , the last being driven through the deck on 21 January 1932 . The rivets were heated red - hot and inserted into the plates ; the headless end was immediately rounded over with a large pneumatic rivet gun . The largest of the rivets used weighed 3.5 kg ( 8 lb ) and was 39.5 cm ( 15.6 in ) long . The practice of riveting large steel structures , rather than welding , was , at the time , a proven and understood construction technique , whilst structural welding had not at that stage been adequately developed for use on the bridge . Pylons ( edit ) At each end of the arch stands a pair of 89 m ( 292 ft ) high concrete pylons , faced with granite . The pylons were designed by the Scottish architect Thomas S. Tait , a partner in the architectural firm John Burnet & Partners . Some 250 Australian , Scottish , and Italian stonemasons and their families relocated to a temporary settlement at Moruya , NSW , 300 km ( 186 mi ) south of Sydney , where they quarried around 18,000 m ( 635,664 cu ft ) of granite for the bridge pylons . The stonemasons cut , dressed , and numbered the blocks , which were then transported to Sydney on three ships built specifically for this purpose . The Moruya quarry was managed by John Gilmore , a Scottish stonemason who emigrated , with his young family to Australia in 1924 , at the request of the project managers . The concrete used was also Australian - made and supplied from Railton , Tasmania . Abutments at the base of the pylons are essential to support the loads from the arch and hold its span firmly in place , but the pylons themselves have no structural purpose . They were included to provide a frame for the arch panels and to give better visual balance to the bridge . The pylons were not part of the original design , and were only added to allay public concern about the structural integrity of the bridge . Although originally added to the bridge solely for their aesthetic value , all four pylons have now been put to use . The south - eastern pylon contains a museum and tourist centre , with a 360 ° lookout at the top providing views across the harbour and city . The south - western pylon is used by the New South Wales Roads and Traffic Authority ( RTA ) to support its CCTV cameras overlooking the bridge and the roads around that area . The two pylons on the north shore include venting chimneys for fumes from the Sydney Harbour Tunnel , with the base of the southern pylon containing the RMS maintenance shed for the bridge , and the base of the northern pylon containing the traffic management shed for tow trucks and safety vehicles used on the bridge . In 1942 the pylons were modified to include parapets and anti-aircraft guns designed to assist in both Australia 's defence and general war effort. The top level of stonework was never removed . History ( edit ) Early proposals ( edit ) Sketches of designs submitted when tenders were called for a harbour crossing in 1900 There had been plans to build a bridge as early as 1815 , when convict and noted architect Francis Greenway reputedly proposed to Governor Lachlan Macquarie that a bridge be built from the northern to the southern shore of the harbour . In 1825 , Greenway wrote a letter to the then `` The Australian '' newspaper stating that such a bridge would `` give an idea of strength and magnificence that would reflect credit and glory on the colony and the Mother Country '' . Nothing came of Greenway 's suggestions , but the idea remained alive , and many further suggestions were made during the nineteenth century . In 1840 , naval architect Robert Brindley proposed that a floating bridge be built . Engineer Peter Henderson produced one of the earliest known drawings of a bridge across the harbour around 1857 . A suggestion for a truss bridge was made in 1879 , and in 1880 a high - level bridge estimated at $850,000 was proposed . In 1900 , the Lyne government committed to building a new Central railway station and organised a worldwide competition for the design and construction of a harbour bridge . Local engineer Norman Selfe submitted a design for a suspension bridge and won the second prize of £ 500 . In 1902 , when the outcome of the first competition became mired in controversy , Selfe won a second competition outright , with a design for a steel cantilever bridge . The selection board were unanimous , commenting that , `` The structural lines are correct and in true proportion , and ... the outline is graceful '' . However due to an economic downturn and a change of government at the 1904 NSW State election construction never began . Stowe 's 1922 Proposal A unique three - span bridge was proposed in 1922 by Ernest Stowe with connections at Balls Head , Millers Point , and Balmain with a memorial tower and hub on Goat Island . Planning ( edit ) In 1914 John Bradfield was appointed `` Chief Engineer of Sydney Harbour Bridge and Metropolitan Railway Construction '' , and his work on the project over many years earned him the legacy as the `` father '' of the bridge . Bradfield 's preference at the time was for a cantilever bridge without piers , and in 1916 the NSW Legislative Assembly passed a bill for such a construction , however it did not proceed as the Legislative Council rejected the legislation on the basis that the money would be better spent on the war effort . Following World War I , plans to build the bridge again built momentum . Bradfield persevered with the project , fleshing out the details of the specifications and financing for his cantilever bridge proposal , and in 1921 he travelled overseas to investigate tenders . On return from his travels Bradfield decided that an arch design would also be suitable and he and officers of the NSW Department of Public Works prepared a general design for a single - arch bridge based upon New York City 's Hell Gate Bridge . In 1922 the government passed the Sydney Harbour Bridge Act No. 28 , specifying the construction of a high - level cantilever or arch bridge across the harbour between Dawes Point and Milsons Point , along with construction of necessary approaches and electric railway lines , and worldwide tenders were invited for the project . Norman Selfe 's winning design at the second competition c. 1903 The Hell Gate Bridge in New York City inspired the final design of Sydney Harbour Bridge . As a result of the tendering process , the government received twenty proposals from six companies ; on 24 March 1924 the contract was awarded to British firm Dorman Long and Co Ltd , of Middlesbrough well known as the contractors who built the similar Tyne Bridge of Newcastle Upon Tyne , for an arch bridge at a quoted price of AU £ 4,217,721 11s 10d . The arch design was cheaper than alternative cantilever and suspension bridge proposals , and also provided greater rigidity making it better suited for the heavy loads expected . Bradfield and his staff were ultimately to oversee the entire bridge design and building process , while Dorman Long and Co 's Consulting Engineer , Sir Ralph Freeman of Sir Douglas Fox and Partners , and his associate Mr. G.C. Imbault , carried out the detailed design and erection process of the bridge . Architects for the contractors were from the British firm John Burnet & Partners of Glasgow , Scotland . The building of the bridge coincided with the construction of a system of underground railways in Sydney 's CBD , known today as the City Circle , and the bridge was designed with this in mind . The bridge was designed to carry six lanes of road traffic , flanked on each side by two railway tracks and a footpath . Both sets of rail tracks were linked into the underground Wynyard railway station on the south ( city ) side of the bridge by symmetrical ramps and tunnels . The eastern - side railway tracks were intended for use by a planned rail link to the Northern Beaches ; in the interim they were used to carry trams from the North Shore into a terminal within Wynyard station , and when tram services were discontinued in 1958 , they were converted into extra traffic lanes . The Bradfield Highway , which is the main roadway section of the bridge and its approaches , is named in honour of Bradfield 's contribution to the bridge .

Three other people heavily involved in the bridge 's design and construction were Lawrence Ennis , Edward Judge , and Sir Ralph Freeman . Ennis was the engineer - in - charge at Dorman Long and Co and the main on - site supervisor ( Bradfield visited occasionally throughout the project and , in particular , at many key stages of the project , to inspect progress and make managerial decisions ) , Judge was chief technical engineer of Dorman Long , and Freeman was hired by the company to design the accepted model in further detail . Later a bitter disagreement broke out between Bradfield and Freeman as to who actually designed the bridge . The official ceremony to mark the `` turning of the first sod '' occurred on 28 July 1923 , on the spot at Milsons Point on the north shore where two workshops to assist in building the bridge were to be constructed . An estimated 469 buildings on the north shore , both private homes and commercial operations , were demolished to allow construction to proceed , with little or no compensation being paid . Work on the bridge itself commenced with the construction of approaches and approach spans , and by September 1926 concrete piers to support the approach spans were in place on each side of the harbour . As construction of the approaches took place , work was also started on preparing the foundations required to support the enormous weight of the arch and loadings . Concrete and granite faced abutment towers were constructed , with the angled foundations built into their sides . Once work had progressed sufficiently on the support structures , a giant `` creeper crane '' was erected on each side of the harbour . These cranes were fitted with a cradle , and then used to hoist men and materials into position to allow for erection of the steelwork . To stabilise works while building the arches , tunnels were excavated on each shore with steel cables passed through them and then fixed to the upper sections of each half - arch to stop them collapsing as they extended outwards . Arch construction itself began on 26 October 1928 . The southern end of the bridge was worked on ahead of the northern end , to detect any errors and to help with alignment . The cranes would `` creep '' along the arches as they were constructed , eventually meeting up in the middle . In less than two years , on Tuesday , 19 August 1930 , the two halves of the arch touched for the first time . Workers riveted both top and bottom sections of the arch together , and the arch became self - supporting , allowing the support cables to be removed . On 20 August 1930 the joining of the arches was celebrated by flying the flags of Australia and the United Kingdom from the jibs of the creeper cranes .

John Bradfield riding the first test train across the bridge on 19 January 1932 Once the arch was completed , the creeper cranes were then worked back down the arches , allowing the roadway and other parts of the bridge to be constructed from the centre out . The vertical hangers were attached to the arch , and these were then joined with horizontal crossbeams . The deck for the roadway and railway were built on top of the crossbeams , with the deck itself being completed by June 1931 , and the creeper cranes were dismantled . Rails for trains and trams were laid , and road was surfaced using concrete topped with asphalt . Power and telephone lines , and water , gas , and drainage pipes were also all added to the bridge in 1931 . The pylons were built atop the abutment towers , with construction advancing rapidly from July 1931 . Carpenters built wooden scaffolding , with concreters and masons then setting the masonry and pouring the concrete behind it . Gangers built the steelwork in the towers , while day labourers manually cleaned the granite with wire brushes . The last stone of the north - west pylon was set in place on 15 January 1932 , and the timber towers used to support the cranes were removed . On 19 January 1932 , the first test train , a steam locomotive , safely crossed the bridge . Load testing of the bridge took place in February 1932 , with the four rail tracks being loaded with as many as 96 steam locomotives positioned end - to - end . The bridge underwent testing for three weeks , after which it was declared safe and ready to be opened . The construction worksheds were demolished after the bridge was completed , and the land that they were on is now occupied by Luna Park . The standards of industrial safety during construction were poor by today 's standards . Sixteen workers died during construction , but surprisingly only two from falling off the bridge . Several more were injured from unsafe working practices undertaken whilst heating and inserting its rivets , and the deafness experienced by many of the workers in later years was blamed on the project . Henri Mallard between 1930 and 1932 produced hundreds of stills and film footage which reveal at close quarters the bravery of the workers in tough Depression - era conditions . Interviews were conducted between 1982 - 1989 with a variety of tradesmen who worked on the building of the bridge . Among the tradesmen interviewed were drillers , riveters , concrete packers , boilermakers , riggers , ironworkers , plasterers , stonemasons , an official photographer , sleepcutters , engineers and draughtsmen . The total financial cost of the bridge was AU £ 6.25 million , which was not paid off in full until 1988 . Opening ( edit ) The bridge was formally opened on Saturday , 19 March 1932 . Amongst those who attended and gave speeches were the Governor of New South Wales , Sir Philip Game , and the Minister for Public Works , Lawrence Ennis . The Premier of New South Wales , Jack Lang , was to open the bridge by cutting a ribbon at its southern end . Francis de Groot declares the bridge open However , just as Lang was about to cut the ribbon , a man in military uniform rode up on a horse , slashing the ribbon with his sword and opening the Sydney Harbour Bridge in the name of the people of New South Wales before the official ceremony began . He was promptly arrested . The ribbon was hurriedly retied and Lang performed the official opening ceremony and Game thereafter inaugurated the name of the bridge as ' Sydney Harbour Bridge ' and the associated roadway as the ' Bradfield Highway ' . After they did so , there was a 21 - gun salute and an RAAF flypast . The intruder was identified as Francis de Groot . He was convicted of offensive behaviour and fined £ 5 after a psychiatric test proved he was sane , but this verdict was reversed on appeal . De Groot then successfully sued the Commissioner of Police for wrongful arrest , and was awarded an undisclosed out of court settlement . De Groot was a member of a right - wing paramilitary group called the New Guard , opposed to Lang 's leftist policies and resentful of the fact that a member of the Royal Family had not been asked to open the bridge . De Groot was not a member of the regular army but his uniform allowed him to blend in with the real cavalry . This incident was one of several involving Lang and the New Guard during that year . A similar ribbon - cutting ceremony on the bridge 's northern side by North Sydney 's mayor , Alderman Primrose , was carried out without incident . It was later discovered that Primrose was also a New Guard member but his role in and knowledge of the de Groot incident , if any , are unclear . The pair of golden scissors used in the ribbon cutting ceremonies on both sides of the bridge was also used to cut the ribbon at the dedication of the Bayonne Bridge , which had opened in Bayonne , New Jersey , close to New York City , the year before . Despite the bridge opening in the midst of the Great Depression , opening celebrations were organised by the Citizens of Sydney Organising Committee , an influential body of prominent men and politicians that formed in 1931 under the chairmanship of the Lord Mayor to oversee the festivities . The celebrations included an array of decorated floats , a procession of passenger ships sailing below the bridge , and a Venetian Carnival . A message from a primary school in Tottenham , 515 km ( 320 mi ) away in rural New South Wales , arrived at the bridge on the day and was presented at the opening ceremony . It had been carried all the way from Tottenham to the bridge by relays of school children , with the final relay being run by two children from the nearby Fort Street Boys ' and Girls ' schools . After the official ceremonies , the public was allowed to walk across the bridge on the deck , something that would not be repeated until the 50th anniversary celebrations . Estimates suggest that between 300,000 and one million people took part in the opening festivities , a phenomenal number given that the entire population of Sydney at the time was estimated to be 1,256,000 . There had also been numerous preparatory arrangements . On 14 March 1932 , three postage stamps were issued to commemorate the imminent opening of the bridge . Several songs were composed for the occasion . The bridge itself was regarded as a triumph over Depression times , earning the nickname `` the Iron Lung '' , as it kept many Depression - era workers employed . Operations ( edit ) In 2010 , the average daily traffic included 204 trains , 160,435 vehicles and 1650 bicycles . Road ( edit ) Main article : Bradfield Highway , Sydney The roadway of the bridge , from the southern or city approach . From left : walkway , eight traffic lanes ( the two leftmost once carried the Sydney trams ) , two railway tracks , and cycleway . The gantries with lights controlling traffic tidal flow are clearly visible , while the tollbooths can be seen near the bases of the high - rise buildings From the Sydney CBD side , motor vehicle access to the bridge is normally via Grosvenor Street , Clarence Street , Kent Street , the Cahill Expressway , or the Western Distributor . Drivers on the northern side will find themselves on the Warringah Freeway , though it is easy to turn off the freeway to drive westwards into North Sydney or eastwards to Neutral Bay and beyond upon arrival on the northern side . The bridge originally only had four wider traffic lanes occupying the central space which now has six , as photos taken soon after the opening clearly show . In 1958 tram services across the bridge were withdrawn and the tracks replaced by two extra road lanes ; these lanes are now the leftmost southbound lanes on the bridge and are still clearly distinguishable from the other six road lanes . Lanes 7 and 8 now connect the bridge to the elevated Cahill Expressway that carries traffic to the Eastern Distributor . In 1988 , work began to build a tunnel to complement the bridge . It was determined that the bridge could no longer support the increased traffic flow of the 1980s . The Sydney Harbour Tunnel was completed in August 1992 and carries only motor vehicles . The Bradfield Highway is designated as a Travelling Stock Route which means that it is permissible to herd livestock across the bridge , but only between midnight and dawn , and after giving notice of intention to do so . In practice , owing to the high - density urban nature of modern Sydney , and the relocation of abattoirs and markets , this has not taken place for approximately half a century . Tidal flow ( edit ) The bridge is equipped for tidal flow operation , permitting the direction of traffic flow on the bridge to be altered to better suit the morning and evening rush hours ' traffic patterns . The bridge has eight lanes in total , numbered one to eight from west to east . Lanes three , four and five are reversible . One and two always flow north . Six , seven , and eight always flow south . The default is four each way . For the morning rush hour , the lane changes on the bridge also require changes to the Warringah Freeway , with its inner western reversible carriageway directing traffic to the bridge lane numbers three and four southbound . The bridge has a series of overhead gantries which indicate the direction of flow for each traffic lane . A green arrow pointing down to a traffic lane means the lane is open . A flashing red `` X '' indicates the lane is closing , but is not yet in use for traffic travelling in the other direction . A static red `` X '' means the lane is in use for oncoming traffic . This arrangement was introduced in the 1990s , replacing a slow operation where lane markers were manually moved to mark the centre median . It is possible to see odd arrangements of flow during night periods when maintenance occurs , which may involve completely closing some lanes . Normally this is done between midnight and dawn , because of the enormous traffic demands placed on the bridge outside these hours . Tolls ( edit ) Sydney Harbour Bridge toll gates , photograph by Hall and Co. , 1933 , State Library of New South Wales The vehicular traffic lanes on the bridge are operated as a toll road . As of 27 January 2009 there is a variable tolling system for all vehicles headed into the CBD ( southbound ) . The toll paid is dependent on the time of day in which the vehicle passes through the toll plaza . The toll varies from a minimum value of $2.50 to a maximum value of $4 . There is no toll for northbound traffic ( though taxis travelling north may charge passengers the toll in anticipation of the toll the taxi must pay on the return journey ) . There are toll plazas at the northern and southern ends . The two eastern lanes ( which continue over the Cahill Expressway at the southern end of the bridge ) have their tollbooths at the northern end , while the other southbound lanes ( for CBD traffic ) are serviced by tollbooths at the southern end of the bridge . There is a bridge - long median strip between lanes 6 and 7 to separate traffic which has already paid the toll ( at the northern end ) from other southbound traffic ( which must pay the toll at the southern end ) , and these toll booths clearly can be seen on `` Google Earth '' . The toll was originally placed on travel across the bridge , in both directions , to recoup the cost of its construction . This cost was recovered in the 1980s , but the toll has been kept ( indeed increased ) by the state government 's Roads and Traffic Authority to recoup the costs of the Sydney Harbour Tunnel . After the decision to build the Sydney Harbour Tunnel was made in the early 1980s , the toll was increased ( from 20 cents to $1 , then to $1.50 , and finally to $2 by the time the tunnel opened ) to pay for its construction . The tunnel also had an initial toll of $2 southbound . After the increase to $1 , the concrete barrier on the bridge separating the Bradfield Highway from the Cahill Expressway was increased in height , because of the large numbers of drivers crossing it illegally from lane 6 to 7 , to avoid the toll . The toll for all southbound vehicles was increased to $3 in March 2004 . Originally it cost a car or motorcycle six pence to cross , a horse and rider being three pence . Use of the bridge by bicycle riders ( provided that they use the cycleway ) and by pedestrians is free . Later governments capped the fee for motorcycles at one - quarter of the passenger - vehicle cost , but now it is again the same as the cost for a passenger vehicle , although quarterly flat - fee passes are available which are much cheaper for frequent users . In July 2008 a new electronic tolling system called e-TAG was introduced . The Sydney Harbour Tunnel was converted to this new tolling system while the Sydney Harbour Bridge itself had several cash lanes . The electronic system as of 12 January 2009 has now replaced all booths with E-tag lanes . In January 2017 work commenced to remove the southern toll booths . Pedestrians ( edit ) A cyclist using the pedestrian footway . Side fences were added to prevent people from committing suicide by jumping from the bridge . The pedestrian - only footway is located on the east side of the bridge . Access from the northern side involves climbing an easily spotted flight of stairs , located on the east side of the bridge at Broughton St , Kirribilli . Pedestrian access on the southern side is more complicated , but signposts in the Rocks area now direct pedestrians to the long and sheltered flight of stairs that leads to the bridge 's southern end . These stairs are located near Gloucester Street and Cumberland Street . The bridge can also be approached from the south by accessing Cahill Walk , which runs along the Cahill Expressway . Pedestrians can access this walkway from the east end of Circular Quay by a flight of stairs or a lift . Alternatively it can be accessed from the Botanic Gardens . Cyclists ( edit ) Main article : Sydney Harbour Bridge cycleway The bike - only cycleway is located on the western side of the bridge . Access from the northern side involves carrying or pushing a bicycle up a staircase , consisting of 55 steps , located on the western side of the bridge at Burton St , Milsons Point . A wide smooth concrete strip in the centre of the stairs permits cycles to be wheeled up and down from the bridge deck whilst the rider is dismounted . A campaign to eliminate the steps on this popular cycling route to the CBD has been running since at least 2008 . On 7 December 2016 the NSW Roads Minister Duncan Gay confirmed that the northern stairway would be replaced with a A $ 20 million ramp alleviating the needs for cyclists to dismount . At the same time the NSW Government announced plans to upgrade the southern ramp at a projected cost of A $ 20 million . Both projects are expected to completed by late 2020 . Access to the cycleway on the southern side is via the northern end of the Kent Street cycleway and / or Upper Fort Street in The Rocks . Rail ( edit ) First passenger train crossing the bridge , 19 March 1932 A tram and a train arrive at Milsons Point station The bridge lies between Milsons Point and Wynyard railway stations , located on the north and south shores respectively , with two tracks running along the western side of the bridge . These tracks are part of the North Shore railway line . In 1958 tram services across the bridge were withdrawn and the tracks they had used were removed and replaced by two extra road lanes ; these lanes are now the leftmost southbound lanes on the bridge and are still clearly distinguishable from the other six road lanes . The original ramp that took the trams into their terminus at the underground Wynyard railway station is still visible at the southern end of the main walkway under lanes 7 and 8 , although around 1964 , the former tram tunnels and station were converted for use as a carpark for the Menzies Hotel and as public parking . One of the tunnels was converted for use as a storage facility after reportedly being used by the NSW police as a pistol firing range . Maintenance ( edit ) Maintenance crew painting the bridge The Sydney Harbour Bridge requires constant inspections and other maintenance work to keep it safe for the public , and to protect from corrosion . Among the trades employed on the bridge are painters , ironworkers , boilermakers , fitters , electricians , plasterers , carpenters , plumbers , and riggers . The most noticeable maintenance work on the bridge involves painting . The steelwork of the bridge that needs to be painted is a combined 485,000 m ( 120 acres ) , the equivalent of sixty football fields . Each coat on the bridge requires some 30,000 L ( 6,600 imp gal ) of paint . A special fast - drying paint is used , so that any paint drops have dried before reaching the vehicles or bridge surface . One notable identity from previous bridge - painting crews is Australian comedian and actor Paul Hogan , who worked as a bridge painter before rising to media fame in the 1970s . In 2003 the Roads & Traffic Authority began completely repainting the southern approach spans of the bridge . This involved removing the old lead - based paint , and repainting the 90,000 m ( 22 acres ) of steel below the deck . Workers operated from self - contained platforms below the deck , with each platform having an air extraction system to filter airborne particles . An abrasive blasting was used , with the lead waste collected and safely removed from the site for disposal . Bridge arch after strengthening , with some new steel outlined in red Between December 2006 and March 2010 the bridge was subject to works designed to ensure its longevity . The work included some strengthening . Since 2013 , two grit - blasting robots specially developed with the University of Technology , Sydney have been employed to help with the paint stripping operation on the bridge . The robots , nicknamed Rosie and Sandy , are intended to reduce workers ' potential exposure to dangerous lead paint and asbestos and the blasting equipment which has enough force to cut through clothes and skin . Tourism ( edit ) Historic tourist signs for the pylon lookout , from Rentoul 's ' All Australian Exhibition ' , 1948 -- 1971 BridgeClimb participants , wearing the mandatory special jumpsuits BridgeClimbers admire the view mid-climb , while a second group reach the top of the arch . Note also the light fixtures and extensive use of rivets South - east pylon ( edit ) Even during its construction , the bridge was such a prominent feature of Sydney that it would attract tourist interest . One of the ongoing tourist attractions of the bridge has been the south - east pylon , which is accessed via the pedestrian walkway across the bridge , and then a climb to the top of the pylon of about 200 steps . Not long after the bridge 's opening , commencing in 1934 , Archer Whitford first converted this pylon into a tourist destination . He installed a number of attractions , including a café , a camera obscura , an Aboriginal museum , a `` Mother 's Nook '' where visitors could write letters , and a `` pashometer '' . The main attraction was the viewing platform , where `` charming attendants '' assisted visitors to use the telescopes available , and a copper cladding ( still present ) over the granite guard rails identified the suburbs and landmarks of Sydney at the time . The outbreak of World War II in 1939 saw tourist activities on the bridge cease , as the military took over the four pylons and modified them to include parapets and anti-aircraft guns . In 1948 Yvonne Rentoul opened the `` All Australian Exhibition '' in the pylon . This contained dioramas , and displays about Australian perspectives on subjects such as farming , sport , transport , mining , and the armed forces . An orientation table was installed at the viewing platform , along with a wall guide and binoculars . The owner kept several white cats in a rooftop cattery , which also served as an attraction , and there was a souvenir shop and postal outlet . Rentoul 's lease expired in 1971 , and the pylon and its lookout remained closed to the public for over a decade . The pylon was reopened in 1982 , with a new exhibition celebrating the bridge 's 50th anniversary . In 1987 a `` Bicentennial Exhibition '' was opened to mark the 200th anniversary of European settlement in Australia in 1988 . The pylon was closed from April to November 2000 for the Roads & Traffic Authority and BridgeClimb to create a new exhibition called `` Proud Arch '' . The exhibition focussed on Bradfield , and included a glass direction finder on the observation level , and various important heritage items . The pylon again closed for four weeks in 2003 for the installation of an exhibit called `` Dangerous Works '' , highlighting the dangerous conditions experienced by the original construction workers on the bridge , and two stained glass feature windows in memory of the workers . BridgeClimb ( edit ) In 1950s and 1960s there were occasional newspaper reports of climbers who had made illegal arch traversals of the bridge , invariably by night . In 1973 Philippe Petit walked across a wire between the two pylons at the southern end of the Sydney Harbour Bridge . Since 1998 , BridgeClimb has made it possible for tourists to legally climb the southern half of the bridge . Tours run throughout the day , from dawn to night , and are only cancelled for electrical storms or high wind . Groups of climbers are provided with protective clothing appropriate to the prevailing weather conditions , and are given an orientation briefing before climbing . During the climb , attendees are secured to the bridge by a wire lifeline . Each climb begins on the eastern side of the bridge and ascends to the top . At the summit , the group crosses to the western side of the arch for the descent . Each climb takes three - and - a-half - hours , including the preparations . In December 2006 , BridgeClimb launched an alternative to climbing the upper arches of the bridge . The Discovery Climb allows climbers to ascend the lower chord of the bridge and view its internal structure . From the apex of the lower chord , climbers ascend a staircase to a platform at the summit . Celebrations ( edit ) Since the opening , the bridge has been the focal point of much tourism and national pride . 50th anniversary celebrations ( 1982 ) ( edit ) In 1982 the bridge celebrated the 50th anniversary of its opening . For the first time since its opening in 1932 , the bridge was closed to most vehicles with the exception of vintage vehicles , and pedestrians were allowed full access for the day . The celebrations were attended by Edward Judge , who represented Dorman Long . Postage stamp , Australia , 1932 Bicentennial Australia day celebrations ( 1988 ) ( edit ) Australia 's bicentennial celebrations on 26 January 1988 attracted large crowds in the bridge 's vicinity as merrymakers flocked to the foreshores to view the events on the harbour . The highlight was the biggest parade of sail ever held in Sydney , square - riggers from all over the world , surrounded by hundreds of smaller craft of every description , passing majestically under the Sydney Harbour Bridge . The day 's festivities culminated in a fireworks display in which the bridge was the focal point of the finale , with fireworks streaming from the arch and roadway . This was to become the pattern for later firework displays . Sydney New Year 's Eve ( 1993 -- present ) ( edit ) Main article : Sydney New Year 's Eve The Harbour Bridge is an integral part of the Sydney New Year 's Eve celebrations , generally being used in spectacular ways during the fireworks displays at 21 : 00 and midnight . In recent times , the bridge has included a ropelight display on a framework in the centre of the eastern arch , which is used to complement the fireworks . As the scaffolding and framework are clearly visible for some weeks before the event , revealing the outline of the design , there is much speculation as to how the effect is to be realised . During the millennium celebrations in 2000 , the Sydney Harbour Bridge was lit up with the word `` Eternity '' , as a tribute to the legacy of Arthur Stace a Sydney artist who for many years inscribed that word on pavements in chalk in beautiful copperplate writing despite the fact that he was illiterate . The effects have been as follows : The opening sequence to the 2008 -- 09 Midnight Fireworks , using the Sun for its bridge effect . NYE1997 : Smiley face NYE1999 : The word `` Eternity '' in copperplate writing NYE2000 : Rainbow Serpent and Federation Star NYE2001 : Uluru , the Southern Cross and the Dove of Peace NYE2002 : Dove of Peace and the word `` PEACE '' NYE2003 : Light show NYE2004 : `` Fanfare '' NYE2005 : Three concentric hearts NYE2006 : Coathanger and a diamond NYE2007 : Mandala NYE2008 : The Sun NYE2009 : Taijitu Symbol , a Blue moon and a ring of fire NYE2010 : Handprint , `` X '' Mark and a Spot NYE2011 : Thought Bubble , Sun and Endless Rainbow NYE2012 : Butterfly and a Lip NYE2013 : Eye NYE2014 : Light bulb NYE2015 : Sydney Harbour Bridge NYE2016 : Light show The numbers for the New Year 's Eve countdown also appear on the eastern side of the Bridge pylons . Walk for reconciliation ( 2000 ) ( edit ) In May 2000 the bridge was closed to vehicular access for a day to allow a special reconciliation march -- the `` Walk for Reconciliation '' -- to take place . This was part of a response to an Aboriginal Stolen Generations inquiry , which found widespread suffering had taken place amongst Australian Aboriginal children forcibly placed into the care of white parents in a little - publicised state government scheme . Between 200,000 and 300,000 people were estimated to have walked the bridge in a symbolic gesture of crossing a divide . Sydney 2000 Olympics ( edit ) During the Sydney 2000 Olympics in September and October 2000 , the bridge was adorned with the Olympic Rings . It was included in the Olympic torch 's route to the Olympic stadium . The men 's and women 's Olympic marathon events likewise included the bridge as part of their route to the Olympic stadium . A fireworks display at the end of the closing ceremony ended at the bridge . The east - facing side of the bridge has been used several times since as a framework from which to hang static fireworks , especially during the elaborate New Year 's Eve displays . Formula one promotion ( 2005 ) ( edit ) In 2005 Mark Webber drove a Williams - BMW Formula One car across the bridge . 75th anniversary ( 2007 ) ( edit ) Walkers with LED caps on the bridge 's 75th Anniversary The commemorative hats given to walkers In 2007 , the 75th anniversary of its opening was commemorated with an exhibition at the Museum of Sydney , called `` Bridging Sydney '' . An initiative of the Historic Houses Trust , the exhibition featured dramatic photographs and paintings with rare and previously unseen alternative bridge and tunnel proposals , plans and sketches . On 18 March 2007 , the Sydney Harbour Bridge celebrated its 75th anniversary . The occasion was marked with a ribbon - cutting ceremony by the governor , Marie Bashir and the premier of New South Wales , Morris Iemma . The bridge was subsequently open to the public to walk southward from Milsons Point or North Sydney . Several major roads , mainly in the CBD , were closed for the day . An Aboriginal smoking ceremony was held at 19 : 00 . Approximately 250,000 people ( 50,000 more than were registered ) took part in the event . Bright yellow souvenir caps were distributed to walkers . A series of speakers placed at intervals along the bridge formed a sound installation . Each group of speakers broadcast sound and music from a particular era ( e.g. King Edward VIII 's abdication speech ; Gough Whitlam 's speech at Parliament House in 1975 ) , the overall effect being that the soundscape would `` flow '' through history as walkers proceeded along the bridge . A light - show began after sunset and continued late into the night , the bridge being bathed in constantly changing , multi-coloured lighting , designed to highlight structural features of the bridge . In the evening the bright yellow caps were replaced by orange caps with a small , bright LED attached . The bridge was closed to walkers at about 20 : 30 . Breakfast on the bridge ( 2009 -- 10 ) ( edit ) On 25 October 2009 turf was laid across the eight lanes of bitumen , and 6,000 people celebrated a picnic on the bridge accompanied by live music . The event was repeated in 2010 . Although originally scheduled again in 2011 , this event was moved to Bondi Beach due to traffic concerns about the prolonged closing of the bridge . 80th anniversary ( edit ) On 19 March 2012 the 80th anniversary of the Sydney Harbour Bridge was celebrated with a picnic dedicated to the stories of people with personal connections to the bridge . In addition , Google dedicated its Google Doodle on the 19th to the event . The proposal to upgrade the bridge tolling equipment was announced by the NSW Roads Minister Duncan Gay . Quotations ( edit ) The `` International Historic Civil Engineering Landmark '' plaque presented to Sydney Harbour Bridge by the American Society of Civil Engineers in 1988 There the proud arch Colossus like bestride Yon glittering streams and bound the strafing tide . -- Prophetic observation of Sydney Cove by Erasmus Darwin , grandfather of Charles Darwin , from his poem `` Visit of Hope to Sydney Cove , near Botany Bay '' , ( 1789 ) . I open this bridge in the name of His Majesty the King and all the decent citizens of NSW . -- Francis de Groot `` opening '' the Sydney Harbour Bridge , ( 1932 ) . His organisation , the New Guard , had resented the fact that King George V had not been asked to open the bridge . To get on in Australia , you must make two observations . Say , `` You have the most beautiful bridge in the world '' and `` They tell me you trounced England again in the cricket . '' The first statement will be a lie . Sydney Bridge ( sic ) is big , utilitarian and the symbol of Australia , like the Statue of Liberty or the Eiffel Tower . But it is very ugly . No Australian will admit this . -- James Michener assesses the Sydney Harbour Bridge in his book Return to Paradise , ( 1951 ) . ... in a gesture of anomalous exhilaration , at the worst time of the depression Sydney opened its Harbour Bridge , one of the talismanic structures of the earth , and by far the most striking thing ever built in Australia . At that moment , I think , contemporary Sydney began , perhaps definitive Sydney . -- Jan Morris gives her own assessment of the bridge in her book Sydney , ( 1982 ) ... you can see it from every corner of the city , creeping into frame from the oddest angles , like an uncle who wants to get into every snapshot . From a distance it has a kind of gallant restraint , majestic but not assertive , but up close it is all might . It soars above you , so high that you could pass a ten - storey building beneath it , and looks like the heaviest thing on earth . Everything that is in it -- the stone blocks in its four towers , the latticework of girders , the metal plates , the six - million rivets ( with heads like halved apples ) -- is the biggest of its type you have ever seen ... This is a great bridge . -- American travel - writer Bill Bryson 's impressions of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in his book Down Under ( 2000 ) .

The building is the oldest city hall in the United States that still houses its original governmental functions , such as the office of the Mayor of New York City and the chambers of the New York City Council . While the Mayor 's Office is in the building , the staff of thirteen municipal agencies under mayoral control are located in the nearby Manhattan Municipal Building , one of the largest government buildings in the world . Constructed from 1803 to 1812 , New York City Hall is a National Historic Landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places . Both its exterior ( 1966 ) and interior ( 1976 ) are designated New York City landmarks . Contents ( hide ) 1 History and description 2 Architecture 2.1 Functions 3 Surroundings 3.1 Neighborhood 3.2 Subway stations 3.3 Renovations 4 In popular culture 5 See also 6 References 7 External links History and description ( edit ) New Amsterdam 's first City Hall was built by the Dutch in the 17th century near 73 Pearl Street . The city 's second City Hall , built in 1700 , stood on Wall and Nassau Streets . That building was renamed Federal Hall after New York became the first official capital of the United States after the Revolutionary War . Plans for building a new City Hall were discussed by the New York City Council as early as 1776 , but the financial strains of the war delayed progress . The Council chose a site at the old Common at the northern limits of the City , now City Hall Park . City Hall was originally an area for the first almhouse in 1653 . In 1736 , there was a financed almhouse for those who were fit to work , for the unfit , and those that were like criminals but were paupers . City Hall at night In 1802 the City held a competition for a new City Hall . The first prize of $350 was awarded to Joseph - François Mangin and John McComb , Jr . Mangin , who was the principal designer , studied architecture in his native France before becoming a New York City surveyor in 1795 and publishing an official map of the city in 1803 . Mangin was also the architect of the landmark St. Patrick 's Old Cathedral on Mulberry Street . McComb , whose father had worked on the old City Hall , was a New Yorker and designed Castle Clinton in Battery Park . He would supervise the construction of the building , and designed the architectural detailing as well . Also , many architects were in favor of Greek Revival style and created Brooklyn City Hall , which is now called Brooklyn Borough Hall in 1848 . The cornerstone of the new City Hall was laid in 1803 . Construction was delayed after the City Council objected that the design was too extravagant . In response , McComb and Mangin reduced the size of the building and used brownstone at the rear of the building to lower costs ; the brownstone , along with the original deteriorated Massachusetts marble facade , quarried from Alford , Massachusetts , was replaced with Alabama limestone in 1954 to 1956 . Labor disputes and an outbreak of yellow fever further slowed construction . The building was not dedicated until 1811 , and opened officially in 1812 . City Hall Rotunda The building 's Governor 's Room hosted President - elect Abraham Lincoln in 1861 , and his coffin was placed on the staircase landing across the rotunda when he lay in state in 1865 after his assassination . Ulysses S. Grant also lay in state beneath the soaring rotunda dome as did Colonel Elmer Ephraim Ellsworth , first Union officer killed in the Civil War and commander of the 11th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment ( First Fire Zouaves ) . The Governor 's Room , which is used for official receptions , also houses one of the most important collections of 19th century American portraiture and notable artifacts such as George Washington 's desk . The Outer Room is adjacent to the traditional Mayor 's office , which is a small space on the northwest corner of the first floor . The Ceremonial Room is where the mayor would meet officials and hold small group meetings . There are 108 paintings from the late 18th century through the 20th . The New York Times declared it `` almost unrivaled as an ensemble , with several masterpieces . '' Among the collection is John Trumbull 's 1805 portrait of Alexander Hamilton , the source of the face on the United States ten - dollar bill . There were significant efforts to restore the paintings in the 1920s and 1940s . In 2006 a new restoration campaign began for 47 paintings identified by the Art Commission as highest in priority . On July 23 , 2003 at 2 : 08 p.m. , City Hall was the scene of a rare political assassination . Othniel Askew , a political rival of City Councilman James E. Davis , opened fire with a pistol from the balcony of the City Council chamber . Askew shot Davis twice , fatally wounding him . A police officer on the floor of the chamber then fatally shot Askew . Askew and Davis had entered the building together without passing through a metal detector , a courtesy extended to elected officials and their guests . As a result of the security breach , then - Mayor Michael Bloomberg revised security policy to require that everyone entering the building pass through metal detectors without exception . City Hall , Park Row and City Hall Park , 1911 . The structure on the right is the Manhattan station for the cable cars which ran across the Brooklyn Bridge Architecture ( edit ) City Hall , from the Historic American Buildings Survey , with the Manhattan Municipal Building in the background on the right The Chamber of the Board of Councilmen in 1868 Although Mangin and McComb designed the building , which was constructed between 1810 and 1812 , it has been altered numerous times over the years , with the alteration often designed by noted architects : 1860 : Leopold Eidlitz 1898 : John H. Duncan 1903 : William Martin Aiken 1907 , 1912 , 1915 , 1917 : Grosvenor Atterbury 1956 : Shreve , Lamb & Harmon 1998 : Cabrera Barricklo The architectural style of City Hall combines two noted historical movements , French Renaissance , which can be seen in the design of the exterior , and American - Georgian in the interior design . The building consists of a central pavilion with two projecting wings . The design of City Hall influenced at least two later civic structures , the Tweed Courthouse and the Surrogate 's Courthouse . The entrance , reached by a long flight of steps , has figured prominently in civic events for over a century and a half . There is a columned entrance portico capped by a balustrade , and another balustrade at the roof . The domed tower in the center was rebuilt in 1917 after the last of two major fires . The original deteriorated Massachusetts marble facade , quarried from Alford , Massachusetts , with brownstone on the rear , was completely reclad with Alabama limestone above a Missouri granite base in 1954 - 6 . On the inside , the rotunda is a soaring space with a grand marble stairway rising up to the second floor , where ten fluted Corinthian columns support the coffered dome , which was added in a 1912 restoration by Grosvenor Atterbury . The rotunda has been the site of municipal as well as national events . Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant lay in state here , attracting enormous crowds to pay their respects . City Hall is a designated New York City landmark . It is also listed on the New York State and National Registers of Historic Places . Functions ( edit ) Official receptions are held in the Governor 's Room , which has hosted many dignitaries including the Marquis de Lafayette and Albert Einstein . The historic Blue Room is where New York City mayors have been giving official press conferences for decades and is often used for bill - signing ceremonies . Room 9 is the press room at City Hall where reporters file stories in cramped quarters . The steps of City Hall frequently provide a backdrop for political demonstrations and press conferences concerning city politics . Live , unedited coverage of events at City Hall is carried on NYCTV channel 74 , a City Government - access television ( GATV ) official cable TV channel . Fencing surrounds the building 's perimeter , with a strong security presence by the New York City Police Department . Public access to the building is restricted to tours and to those with specific business appointments . Surroundings ( edit ) City Hall Park The control room at the subway station underneath City Hall City Hall at dusk , 2007 Neighborhood ( edit ) The area around City Hall is commonly referred to as the Civic Center . Most of the neighborhood consists of government offices ( city , state and federal ) , as well as an increasing number of upscale residential dwellings being converted from older commercial structures . Architectural landmarks such as St. Paul 's Chapel , St. Peters Church , the Woolworth Building , Tweed Courthouse , the Manhattan Municipal Building , the Park Row Building , One Police Plaza , and the Brooklyn Bridge surround City Hall . City Hall Park is approximately three blocks away from the World Trade Center site . Pace University 's New York City campus is located across Park Row from City Hall . Subway stations ( edit ) Located directly under City Hall Park is City Hall subway station , the original southern terminal of the first service of the New York City Subway built by the Interborough Rapid Transit Company ( IRT ) . Opened on October 27 , 1904 , this station beneath the public area in front of City Hall was designed to be the showpiece of the new subway . Considered to be one of the most beautiful subway stations in the system , the station is unusually elegant in architectural style . The platform and mezzanine feature Guastavino tile , skylights , colored glass tile work and brass chandeliers . Passenger service was discontinued on December 31 , 1945 , although the station is still used as a turning loop for 6 < 6 > trains . Another station named City Hall ( N R W trains ) also exists on the BMT Broadway Line , albeit on the western side of City Hall and not directly under it . This station was built in 1912 for the Brooklyn -- Manhattan Transit Corporation ( BMT ) . Other nearby , open subway stations are Brooklyn Bridge -- City Hall / Chambers Street ( 4 5 6 < 6 > J M Z trains ) and Chambers Street -- World Trade Center / Park Place ( 2 3 A C E trains ) . Renovations ( edit ) In 2008 , work began on a restoration of the building , after a century without a major renovation . The construction included structural enhancements , upgrades to building services , as well as in - depth restoration of much of the interior and exterior . Due to the complexity of the demands of the project , the New York City Department of Design and Construction hired Hill International to provide construction management . Renovations were originally estimated to cost $104 million and take four years , but ended up costing nearly $150 million and taking over five years . In popular culture ( edit ) New York City Hall has played a central role in several films and television series . Spin City ( 1996 -- 2002 ) , set in City Hall , starred Michael J. Fox as a Deputy Mayor making efforts to stop the dim - witted Mayor from embarrassing himself in front of the media and voters . City Hall ( 1996 ) starred Al Pacino as an idealistic Mayor and John Cusack as his Deputy Mayor , who leads an investigation with unexpectedly far - reaching consequences into an accidental shooting . In the 1984 movie Ghostbusters the Mayor summons the protagonists to City Hall to discuss the impending end of the world . City Hall is also referred to in the folk song `` The Irish Rover '' as performed by The Clancy Brothers , The Pogues and The Dubliners : In the year of our Lord , eighteen hundred and six , We set sail from the Coal Quay of Cork We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks For the grand City Hall in New York Although the dates match those of City Hall , there is no recorded usage of Irish bricks in the building 's construction . However the song mentions `` The Irish Rover '' never actually arrived in New York , but `` struck a rock '' and sank instead . In the 2016 movie Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them , part of J.K. Rowling 's Wizarding World , Senator Henry Shaw ( played by Josh Cowdery ) holds a fundraising dinner at City Hall for his re-election ; this dinner is later disrupted by a magical force that attacks him while he is delivering a speech . St George 's Hall , in Liverpool , stands - in for the City Hall in both interior and exterior scenes .

His father steps out and tells him it is bedtime , but lets him make a few more shots . Jordan shoots while making several wishes like going to the University of North Carolina , playing on a championship team , joining the NBA , going on to play baseball , and successfully scores every shot . Impressed , Jordan 's father jokingly asks if next he is going to wish he could fly , and Jordan turns to make one final shot . In 1993 , Jordan announces his retirement from professional basketball to follow his now deceased father 's career as a baseball player . However , it becomes evident that he is not as skilled in baseball as he was in basketball . Jordan is assigned a publicist and assistant , the bumbling Stan Podolak , to make his new career less bumpy . Elsewhere , in outer space , an intergalactic amusement park called Moron Mountain faces dwindling popularity , so its owner , Mr. Swackhammer , sends his diminutive minions , the Nerdlucks , to capture the Looney Tunes as new entertainment . The Looney Tunes live in an animated world called `` Looney Tunes Land '' hidden in the center of the Earth , but ignore the Nerdlucks ' threats and challenge them to a game of basketball . The Nerdlucks steal the talents of professional basketball players Charles Barkley , Shawn Bradley , Patrick Ewing , Larry Johnson and Muggsy Bogues , leaving them incapable of playing . The Nerdlucks absorb the talent , transforming into the gigantic `` Monstars '' who easily intimidate the Looney Tunes . While playing golf with Bill Murray , Larry Bird and Stan , Jordan is sucked down a hole and is recruited by Bugs Bunny to help the Tunes win against the Monstars . Jordan at first refuses , saying he does not play basketball anymore , but changes his decision after he is insulted and humiliated by the Monstars when they squash him into the shape of a basketball and bounce him around like one . He then sends Bugs and Daffy Duck to his house to retrieve his basketball gear . Meanwhile , Stan has been digging out the golf hole to find Jordan , but spots Bugs and Daffy leaping down another one and pursues them , reuniting with Jordan in the Tunes ' world and joins their team , the Tune Squad . Another new recruit is Lola Bunny , a skilled basketball player whom Bugs falls in love with . On the day of the match , the Monstars dominate the first half , leaving the Looney Tunes unconfident . Stan overhears a conversation between the Monstars and Swackhammer , learning of how they gained their talent and informs Jordan and the Tune Squad . Bugs and Jordan convince the rest of the Tune Squad to fight back and the first quarter of the second half allows the Tunes to catch up using old school gags and Acme weaponry . During a timeout , Jordan raises the stakes of the game with Swackhammer : a win by the Tune Squad would require the Monstars to give their stolen talents back to the NBA players , while a Monstars win would get Jordan as a new attraction . To ensure his victory , Swackhammer has the Monstars play rough and injure all of the Tune Squad until only Jordan , Bugs , Daffy , Lola and Stan are left . Stan becomes the fifth player and manages to score , but is literally flattened by the Monstars and is removed from the court to be inflated . The referee , Marvin the Martian , informs Jordan that unless the team gets a fifth player , they will have to forfeit the game , at which point Murray appears and volunteers to be the team 's fifth member . In the final seconds of the game , Jordan gains the ball and manages to use cartoon physics to extend his arm and score the winning points . Murray retires from the sport and the Monstars blast Swackhammer to the Moon in a rocket when Jordan makes them realize that they do not have to take his abuse anymore . Jordan convinces them to give up the stolen talents , and the Looney Tunes agree to recruit the reformed Nerdlucks in their ensemble . Jordan and a recovered Stan return to the surface , the Nerdlucks dropping them off at Jordan 's next baseball game . Later on , the two visit the incapacitated basketball players and return their talent . The players invite Jordan to a three - on - three match , but when he declines , they question his loss of talent . Jordan later returns to the Chicago Bulls to resume his basketball career .

Critical response ( edit ) On the critical response aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes , the film holds a rating of 38 % , based on 53 reviews , with an average rating of 5.1 / 10 . The site 's consensus reads , `` A harmless mishmash of basketball and animation that 'll entertain kids but leave adults less than thrilled . '' On Metacritic , it has a score of 59 out of 100 , based on reviews from 22 critics , indicating `` mixed or average reviews '' . Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun - Times gave Space Jam a thumbs up , as did Gene Siskel of the Chicago Tribune , although his zeal was more subdued . In his print review , Ebert gave the film 3 1 / 2 stars , noting , `` Space Jam is a happy marriage of good ideas -- three films for the price of one , giving us a comic treatment of the career adventures of Michael Jordan , crossed with a Looney Tunes cartoon and some showbiz warfare ... the result is delightful , a family movie in the best sense ( which means the adults will enjoy it , too ) . '' Siskel focused much of his praise on Jordan 's performance , saying , `` He wisely accepted as a first movie a script that builds nicely on his genial personality in an assortment of TV ads . The sound bites are just a little longer . '' Leonard Maltin also gave the film a positive review ( three stars ) , stating , `` Jordan is very engaging , the vintage characters perform admirably ... and the computer - generated special effects are a collective knockout . '' Todd McCarthy of Variety praised the film for its humor . He also praised the Looney Tunes ' antics and Jordan 's acting . Although Janet Maslin of The New York Times criticized the film 's animation , she later went on to say that the film is a `` fond tribute to ( the Looney Tunes characters ' ) past . '' Michael Wilmington of the Chicago Tribune complained about some aspects of the movie , stating , `` ... we do n't get the co-stars ' best stuff . Michael does n't soar enough . The Looney Tunes do n't pulverize us the way they did when Chuck Jones , Friz Freleng or Bob Clampett were in charge . '' Yet overall , he also liked the film , giving it 3 stars and saying : `` Is it cute ? Yes . Is it a crowd - pleaser ? Yup . Is it classic ? Nope . ( Though it could have been . ) '' TV Guide gave the movie only two stars , calling it a `` cynical attempt to cash in on the popularity of Warner Bros. cartoon characters and basketball player Michael Jordan , inspired by a Nike commercial . '' Margaret A. McGurk of The Cincinnati Enquirer gave the film 2 1 / 2 stars , saying , `` Technical spectacle amounts do nothing without a good story . '' Veteran Looney Tunes / Merrie Melodies director Chuck Jones was highly critical of the film . In a 1998 interview , he expressed his views that the film was `` terrible '' and said , as a man who worked with the characters for almost thirty years , the story was deeply flawed . `` I can tell you , with the utmost confidence , '' he said , `` Porky Pig would never say ' I think I wet myself . ' '' Jones added that , had the film been more true to the source material , Bugs Bunny would not have enlisted the help of Jordan or the other Looney Tunes characters to defeat the Monstars `` and moreover , it would n't have taken him an hour and a half . Those aliens , whether they were tiny or colossal , would 've been dealt with in short order come the seven minute mark . '' Finally , Jones also recounted that after the film 's release he was invited to a dinner on the Warner Bros. Studio Lot with the executives that produced Space Jam , and was asked to give a speech his thoughts on the film . At the dinner , Jones tried to give his honest opinion in a polite and respectful manner , but before he could finish Warner Bros. security proceeded to `` escort '' him off the lot . Box Office ( edit ) Space Jam was a box office success . At the end of its run , it grossed approximately $90.4 million domestically and an estimated $230 -- $250 million internationally .

The film made its cable television premiere on TNT on March 14 , 1999 The film made its television premiere on ABC 's The Wonderful World of Disney on November 14 , 1999 .

Bugs had previously appeared with Jordan as `` Hare Jordan '' in Nike ads for the Air Jordan VII and Air Jordan VIII . In 2013 , Yahoo ! Screen released a parody of ESPN 's 30 for 30 about the game shown in the film .

Representatives of James denied the claim that he would be involved . In May 2014 , James was quoted as saying , `` I 've always loved Space Jam . It was one of my favorite movies growing up . If I have the opportunity , it will be great . '' In July 2015 , James and his production company , SpringHill Entertainment , signed a deal with Warner Bros. for television , movies and digital content after receiving positive reviews for his acting role in Trainwreck . On May 2 , 2016 , Justin Lin was said to be in talks to direct the sequel ; co-writing the screenplay with Andrew Dodge and Alfredo Botello . In August 2016 , the Sneaker Bar Detroit company said that the movie is still in the works .

On December 1 , 2016 , Bugs Bunny and the Monstars returned in a Foot Locker commercial starring Blake Griffin and Jimmy Butler . In a November 2016 interview with Mr. Wavvy , Space Jam director Joe Pytka revealed that following the first film 's success , he had been pitched a `` really weird '' idea for a sequel that would have starred pro golfer Tiger Woods , with Jordan in a smaller role . Pytka explained how the idea came from an out of studio script conference , with people who worked on the original film allegedly involved . Ultimately , nothing materialized from the idea . Producer Ivan Reitman participated in similar interview with Mr. Wavvy , also in November 2016 , in which he also revealed an idea he had for a sequel , though his sequel would have starred Jordan .

How Far I'll Go
How Far I 'll Go - wikipedia How Far I 'll Go `` How Far I 'll Go '' Song by Auliʻi Cravalho from the album Moana : Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Released November 18 , 2016 Format Digital download Genre Soul , show tune Length 2 : 43 Label Walt Disney Songwriter ( s ) Lin - Manuel Miranda Producer ( s ) Miranda `` How Far I 'll Go '' is a song from Disney 's 2016 animated feature film Moana . It was written and produced by Lin - Manuel Miranda . The song was performed in the film by American actress and singer Auliʻi Cravalho in her role as Moana . It was released along with the album on November 18 , 2016 . Canadian singer Alessia Cara also recorded the song for the Moana soundtrack . The song was nominated for Best Original Song at the 89th Academy Awards and Best Original Song at the 74th Golden Globe Awards but lost both to `` City of Stars '' from La La Land . Contents 1 Composition 2 Music video 3 Other languages 3.1 Charts 4 Certifications 5 Alessia Cara version 5.1 Critical reception 5.2 Music video 5.3 Other languages 5.4 Charts 5.4. 1 Weekly charts 5.4. 2 Year - end charts 5.5 Certifications 6 Accolades 7 References Composition ( edit ) `` How Far I 'll Go '' was composed as Moana 's `` I Want '' song , following in the long tradition of `` I Want '' songs in 1990s Disney animated musicals . It replaced an earlier attempt called `` More '' , for which the demo version recorded by Marcy Harriell was released as an outtake on the deluxe version of the soundtrack album . Although Miranda has stressed that he is still `` very proud of '' the song as a first draft , `` More '' was not good enough in retrospect because it merely expressed Moana 's vague desire to see more since she had already figured out everything about the island . In contrast , `` How Far I 'll Go '' expresses a deeper , richer message : Moana 's struggle with the irresistible impulse to explore beyond the reef notwithstanding her genuine love for her island , her family , and her people . As Miranda explained to People : `` To me that 's much more complicated than , ' I hate it here and I want to get out , ' ... To say , ' I love it here , I love my parents , but why ca n't I stop walking to the ocean and fantasizing about getting out of here ? ' And questioning that instinct ? It 's even more confusing . And that 's a valid story too . '' To make himself write a song more compelling than `` More '' , Miranda `` went method '' . According to Miranda , he locked himself in his childhood bedroom at his parents ' residence for an entire weekend in order to force his mind back to age 16 ( the same age as Moana in the film ) , a time when he was facing what seemed like an `` impossible distance '' between the reality of his pleasant middle - class childhood which had no connection to show business whatsoever , and his dreams of a career in show business . He was well aware that he was composing the next Disney `` I Want '' song after `` Let It Go '' and that whatever he wrote had to be different from `` Let It Go '' . Music video ( edit ) A music video for the song was released on December 12 , 2016 . Other languages ( edit ) When the movie had its first theater release worldwide , the song numbered 44 versions , including a special Tahitian - language adaptation created specifically for the movie . For promotional purposes , South African singer Lira and Filipino singer and actress Janella Salvador recorded their own English - language versions of the song in order to play them 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 . On December 15 , a 5 - languages mash - up was released online , featuring singers from Southeast Asian countries : Janella Salvador from the Philippines , Maudy Ayunda from Indonesia , Myra Molloy from Thailand , Ayda Jebat from Malaysia and Trần Minh Như from Vietnam . Shortly thereafter , a 24 - languages video was released on Disney 's Vevo channel . In June 2017 , a Māori - language version of the movie , featuring four voice - actors from the original English cast , was announced . Three weeks later , New Zealander Jaedyn Randell was introduced as Moana 's singing voice . The movie was released in September 2017 .

'' Taylor Weatherby of Billboard dubbed it a `` bouncy , uplifting tune . '' Idolator 's Mike Wass said `` the inspiring anthem is the perfect antidote to the general ugliness of 2016 '' and called it `` a soaring ballad . '' Music video ( edit ) The official music video for the song , directed by Aya Tanimura , was released on November 3 , 2016 . Derek Lawrence of Entertainment Weekly described the video : `` The video finds Cara roaming an empty beach as she belts out lyrics that reflect the film 's plot about a young Polynesian girl setting sail for an epic adventure . '' The video was filmed at El Matador Beach in Malibu , California . Other languages ( edit ) In many versions of Moana , Alessia Cara 's version of the song played during the end credits . However , several localized adaptations of Cara 's version of the song were recorded for the end credits of the film as released in certain markets around the world .

It is a largely residential community with several concentrations of commerce . Downtown Palm Harbor , north of Tampa Road between U.S. Highway 19 Alternate and Omaha Street , hosts many small shops and eateries along with a handful of historic buildings . U.S. Highway 19 , a mile or two east of downtown , offers access to higher concentrations of commerce , with an array of national chain restaurants and retailers .

The Taste of Palm Harbor traditionally offers live music and the tasting of samples from over 20 local restaurants , many of which make seafood their specialty . Government ( edit ) Palm Harbor is an unincorporated part of Pinellas County . HB 183 - Town of Palm Harbor / Pinellas County , from 2009 , was the most recent local bill that would have scheduled a referendum allowing Palm Harbor voters the opportunity to decide if they want to incorporate , but the bill died in committee . Pinellas County legislators had voted on January 22 , 2009 , to support a bill allowing voters in Palm Harbor to decide if they wanted their unincorporated community to become the county 's 25th city . It passed over the objections of Pinellas County Commissioner Susan Latvala , who said she was appearing in both her official capacity and as a Palm Harbor resident . The Legislature would have needed to first conduct a feasibility study to make sure cityhood made fiscal sense . In 1985 , the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners enacted County Code 85 - 28 , which set into place the Palm Harbor Community Services Agency ( PHCSA ) , a special taxing district to which tax was levied in the form of millage to provide for recreational and library services to the unincorporated community . The PHCSA board is a volunteer panel elected by the voters within the district to oversee the funding of Palm Harbor Library , East Lake Community Library and Palm Harbor Parks & Recreation . Recreation ( edit ) Palm Harbor has various recreational amenities . The area is home to John Chesnut , Sr. Park , located in the East Lake region , as well as H.S. `` Pop '' Stansell Park , located to the west of Palm Harbor Boulevard and overlooking St. Joseph 's Sound . The Palm Harbor Community Services District also manages several sport complexes in the community : Steve Putnam Park , Palm Field , and Sunderman Recreation Complex . The community activity center is located at 1500 16th Street , managed by the District 's parks and recreation department . This facility was originally constructed by Pinellas County in the late 1990s as a senior recreation facility , however lacked the funding to remain open and available to the community . The District received the property in 2004 , and started youth , teen and adult programs , youth summer camps and community services . Palm Harbor is also the home to the White Chapel . This historic facility , which was under Pinellas County ownership previously , lacked the funding to keep its doors opened and was given to the Palm Harbor Community Services District in November 2012 . Now managed by the District 's parks and recreation department , the Chapel was completely restored and is the site for many banquets , weddings and community special events . Harbor Hall , the banquet facility built next to the Chapel , also serves as a banquet and recreational space . Geography ( edit ) Palm Harbor is located at 28 ° 5 ′ 2 '' N 82 ° 45 ′ 14 '' W  /  28.08389 ° N 82.75389 ° W  / 28.08389 ; - 82.75389 ( 28.083926 , - 82.753947 ) . According to the United States Census Bureau , the CDP has a total area of 26.6 square miles ( 68.9 km ) , of which 17.4 square miles ( 45.0 km ) is land , and 9.2 square miles ( 23.9 km ) ( 34.67 % ) is water . Palm Harbor has a unique `` hilly '' geography which is uncommon in Florida . History ( edit ) Palm Harbor was originally called Sutherland , a shortening of Southern Land and Development Company , the group that originally platted the community as Sutherland , Hillsborough County , in 1888 . The name was changed to Palm Harbor in 1925 . Palm Harbor was originally settled by area pioneers including the Thompsons ca 1865 , the Whitehursts , the Hollands , the Tinneys , the Suttons , the Rivieres , the Bensons , the Roberts , The Billgores , The Severs , The Allens , the Aldermans and the Wilsons . J.C. Craver was the first Northerner to permanently settle in this portion of Hillsborough County . According to Craver 's diary , still in the family , he came here in the winter of 1877 upon the advice of his physician . A post office commission under the name of Bay St. Joseph was granted in 1878 , this being the earliest written record of the community . The name Bay St. Joseph was used only a short time before Yellow Bluff replaced it . But that name proved relatively short - lived , as a few years later its negative connotation with the yellow fever epidemic gave way to its present name . Palm Harbor was originally called Sutherland after a post office was granted in 1888 , the same year the railroad came through . Sutherland boasted two beautiful hotels , the larger one becoming Southern College in 1902 . It sat high on the bluff overlooking Sutherland Bayou and the Gulf of Mexico . Sutherland was thought to be named after the Duke of Sutherland , who visited these parts after landing at Tarpon Springs in 1887 . Local pioneers dismiss this coincidence , pointing out that the name Sutherland is a shortening of Southern Land and Development Company , the group which originally platted the community in 1888 .

American tea culture
American tea culture - wikipedia American tea culture A tea party held in the U.S. Capitol in honor of America 's Centennial , 1875 , in this engraving , Carl Schurz the senator from Missouri is standing at the tea table on the left This American teapot shaped building was built next to a highway in 1922 as a political symbol of the Teapot Dome scandal American tea culture encompasses the methods of preparation and means of consumption of tea within the context of the culture of the United States . American restaurants and workplaces typically offer machine - made drip brew coffee by default , while hot tea brewed by the cup with tea bags , an American invention , is available by request . Tea has played an important role in the United States , as families tend to gather around the kitchen and tea is often served here . Although many may equate tea to grandmothers , tea drinking is popular with all ages . Tea parties can be celebrated for many occasions , from the very small and intimate to the large family gatherings and celebrations . In the U.S. south a regional favorite called sweet tea -- which is brewed , sweetened , and chilled in advance of consumption -- may be served at all meals and throughout the day as an alternate to other beverages . In the United States , about 85 % of the tea consumed is served cold , or iced . Iced tea is more frequently consumed during periods of hot weather or in lower latitudes , and hot tea is likewise more common in colder weather . Any confusion when one is visiting different parts of the country can easily be solved by explicitly asking for either `` hot tea '' or `` iced tea . '' Afternoon tea , as a meal , is rarely served in the U.S. except in ritualized special occasions such as the tea party or an afternoon out at a high - end hotel or restaurant , which may also offer cream tea on their menu .

In the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam , now known as New York , tea was served with the best silver strainers , the finest porcelain cups and pots , and wooden tea caddies . Tea became a very popular drink in the colonies , and tea ceremonies were common among all classes . In Salem , MA , tea leaves were boiled to create a bitter brew , then served as a vegetable side dish with butter . By the time of the American Revolution , tea was drunk everywhere from the backwoods to the cities . However , tea and tea taxes became a bone of contention between the American Colonies and Great Britain . This led to the 1773 Boston Tea Party , a precipitating event of the Revolution , when angry Colonists destroyed the tea cargo of three British ships by dumping them into Boston Harbor . As a consequence , tea drinking became unpatriotic . Boycotts of tea led to an increase in consumption of other beverages , such as coffee or herbal teas infused with peppermint , sage or dandelions . To this day , coffee remains more popular than tea in the United States ; however the U.S. still consumed 7.8 gallons of tea per capita annually . While coffee is by far more popular , hot brewed black tea is enjoyed both with meals and as a refreshment by much of the population . Similarly , iced tea is consumed throughout . In the Southeastern states sweet tea , sweetened with large amounts of sugar or an artificial sweetener and chilled , is the fashion . Outside the Southeast , sweet tea is sometimes found , but primarily because of cultural migration and commercialization . The American specialty tea market has quadrupled in the years from 1993 -- 2008 , now being worth $6.8 billion a year . Specialty tea houses and retailers also started to pop up during this period . American tea Masters ( edit ) The American Tea Masters Association was founded to provide Mastery Level training , education , and professional certification to individuals desiring to become tea masters and tea sommeliers . Iced tea ( edit ) Iced tea , popular throughout the U.S. Main article : Iced tea Iced tea is usually prepared from bagged tea . In addition to tea bags and loose tea , powdered `` instant iced tea mix '' is available in stores . This is made by preparing tea and then dehydrating it , similar to instant coffee . Iced tea can be purchased , like soda , in canned or bottled form at vending machines and convenience stores ; usually , this pre-made tea is sweetened with corn syrup , and sometimes some other flavoring , such as lemon or raspberry , is added . Also , like other soft drinks , it can be purchased as a fountain drink , though in some establishments it is pumped from a Bag - In - Box , and in others , it is simply poured from a separate container that contains freshly brewed tea . In restaurants , iced tea is usually served unsweetened except in the Southeastern United States where iced tea is much more common and is available both sweet and unsweetened and `` iced tea '' is often considered to be `` sweet tea '' unless otherwise specified . The reason for the presweetening is that it may be difficult to dissolve sugar in iced tea , even with constant stirring . The result can be insufficiently sweetened tea or gritty , undissolved sugar crystals in the tea . Some restaurants have begun serving iced tea that has been pre-flavored with fruit essences , particularly passion fruit , often as the only iced tea made available . Iced tea 's popularity in the United States has led to an addition to standard cutlery sets ; the iced tea spoon is a standard flatware teaspoon , but with a long handle , suitable for stirring sugar into the taller glasses commonly used for iced tea . Tea bags ( edit ) Main article : Tea bag Tea bags were invented in the United States Thomas Sullivan is credited with inventing tea bags in 1908 . Sullivan , a New York tea importer , inadvertently invented tea bags when he sent tea samples to clients in small silk bags to cut costs , and they mistakenly steeped the bags whole . The customers were more interested in the brewing convenience of the novel silk bags than his bulk teas . Sullivan did not realize this until they all started to complain that the orders they received were not in the same small bags the samples had been in . Silk was too expensive for everyday disposal ; therefore , he invented tea bags made of gauze . The tea bag made of paper fiber was a later American invention . The nylon pyramidal teabag containing broken teas and semi-leaf teas made an appearance in the marketplace for aficionados . The pyramidal shape - it is said - allows more room for the leaf to steep . Environmentalists prefer silk to nylon because of the health and biodegradable issues . Most tea sold in the United States is sold in bags , although loose leaf teas and iced are also available . Instant tea ( edit ) In 1946 , Nestle USA introduced the first instant tea , Nestea . Instant teas are produced from black tea by extracting the liquor from processed portion of tea typically from offgrade black teas ; green tea in a smaller proportion has traditionally been used by the instant tea makers as a `` clarification agent '' - again , in effort to maximize the clarity of color and minimize off - colors created by certain teas that cloud . The extract is concentrated under low pressure , and drying the concentrate to a powder by freeze - drying , spray - drying , or vacuum - drying . Low temperatures tend to be used to minimize loss of flavor . The American market for instant tea powders , which developed quickly following Nestle 's introduction , has slackened off considerably over the past quarter century , as Americans have more and more turned to naturally icing their favorite loose teas , as well as preparing iced tea from tea bags , and to ready - to - drink iced teas where the smaller sizes are found in the supermarkets ' refrigerated drinks sections and the larger gallon sizes are found in the supermarkets ' non-refrigerated drinks sections . Revival of fine teas ( edit ) Yellow and white teas became difficult to find in the United States and even green tea had become uncommon because of the People 's Republic of China 's ban on exports to the USA which was lifted in 1971 . After the resumption of trade between mainland China and the USA , these teas typical to China re-entered the American market for the first time since the first two decades of the 20th century . In the early 1980s , a mini-revival of demand for better quality teas from all origins occurred in the United States . Prior to this time , much of the tea available in 20th century USA was blended specifically for gallon and half - gallon sized iced tea bags , with the quality of not `` creaming down '' ( a creamy looking color that imparts to some teas after cooling down ) when iced as a needed aspect ; `` clear - liquoring '' teas were required . Most iced tea blends in the USA have traditionally been made from the teas of Indonesia , Sri Lanka , Kenya , Argentina and Malawi . Even though there is no correlation between the quality of cloudy teas versus clear teas , clear iced teas were considered more attractive by the consumer . A recent rise in the demand for orthodox tea in both gallon and half - gallon iced tea bags , as well as 500 and 1,000 gram loose tea packs has caused manufacturers to reinstate orthodox manufacturing methods . This is a departure from the more common Sri Lankan , Indonesian , Argentinian and other nations ' orthodox rotorvane tea - making method which has limitations and can not produce whole leaf black tea . The rotorvane method was adopted primarily to satisfy the demand for the smaller leaf sizes that fit into small ( 1 - 2 gram ) tea bag blends worldwide starting in the early 20th century . Varieties of teas ( edit ) A tea shop in Covington , Kentucky selling and serving whole leaf bulk teas and teaware , 2007 Further information : Tea culture Currently , there is a revival of interest in the many varieties of black teas throughout the United States . Additionally , other exotic teas ( such as the vast variety of African , Asian and South American teas ) and different brewing styles are becoming more commonplace . Teas from all origins and elevations , made in all methods of manufacture , are popular in the USA , a tea market which has traditionally been more flexible and willing to try new types of drinks than tea markets throughout the old world . Decaffeinated tea is widely available in the United States , for those who wish to reduce the physiological effects of caffeine . There are many who are aware that the sales trend for decaf teas in the USA has shown a decreasing curve in demand at retail over the past 20 years , yet the high price of decaf remains unchanged . The reasons are twofold . Not only is decaf tea more expensive than non-decaf tea , the processes of decaffeinating that is commonly used depletes a great deal of the flavor out of the tea . The teas with the highest caffeine content fall far below the coffees with the lowest caffeine content . In this light , and considering that most people would prefer to buy better quality teas rather than the less flavorful decaf teas , the American consumer has been buying decaf tea slightly less in recent years . For those who are caffeine intolerant , however , the invention of decaffeinated tea has been welcomed as a refreshing and tasty alternative to caffeinated beverages . U.S. regional tea traditions ( edit ) Sweet tea ( edit ) Sweet tea , with sugar or corn syrup added ( usually while the tea is still hot from brewing ) , the mixture then being cooled with ice , is ubiquitous in the Southeastern United States . In these states , when a person says `` tea '' , they normally mean sweetened iced tea . The unsweetened variant is often called `` unsweet '' tea instead of unsweetened or plain . The consumption of sweet tea with many meals leads to it sometimes called the `` table wine of the South '' , and this trait is considered an important marker of the culture of the Southern United States . Southern sweet tea is made by brewing tea at double strength , adding a large amount of sugar to the freshly brewed hot tea , and diluting to the proper strength . It is served over a glass full of ice cubes and is often garnished with a slice of lemon . While high fructose corn syrup is commonly used as a sweetener for commercially manufactured tea , more often consumers are unaware of this , and when made at home , refined sugar is used . In the Northern United States and the Western United States , `` tea '' generally means the hot beverage and iced tea is referred to by name . Sun tea ( edit ) Sun tea brewing Sun tea is frequently brewed in temperate areas by placing tea and room - temperature water together in a glass jar left outdoors in direct sunlight . Steeping times are necessarily long , two to four hours . Tea may also be brewed with no heat at all by simply immersing the tea bags or infuser in room - temperature water and allowing a period of several hours ( typically overnight ) for steeping . Since sun brewing occurs in a temperature range that can promote the development of bacteria , particularly Alcaligenes viscolactis , the Centers for Disease Control and the Tea Association of the U.S.A. Inc. suggest storing sun - brewed tea in the refrigerator and discarding it after 24 hours . Alcoholic `` tea '' ( edit ) This section does not cite any sources .

when did america switch from tea to coffee
[ "However, tea and tea taxes became a bone of contention between the American Colonies and Great Britain. This led to the 1773 Boston Tea Party, a precipitating event of the Revolution, when angry Colonists destroyed the tea cargo of three British ships by dumping them into Boston Harbor. As a consequence, tea drinking became unpatriotic. Boycotts of tea led to an increase in consumption of other beverages, such as coffee or herbal teas infused with peppermint, sage or dandelions.[5][6]\n" ]
