Ramirez as Oscar Arocho Terry Chen as Pryce Cheng Leah Gibson as Inez Green Carrie - Anne Moss as Jeri Hogarth Janet McTeer as Alisa Jones Recurring ( edit ) Hal Ozsan as Griffin Sinclair Maury Ginsberg as Steven Benowitz Kevin Chacon as Vido Arocho Rebecca De Mornay as Dorothy Walker John Ventimiglia as Eddy Costa Lisa Tharps as Ruth Sunday Callum Keith Rennie as Karl Malus Eden Marryshow as Shane Ryback Notable guests ( edit ) Wil Traval as Will Simpson Elden Henson as Foggy Nelson Daniel Marcus as Maury Tuttlebaum David Tennant as Kilgrave Rob Morgan as Turk Barrett Tijuana Ricks as Thembi Wallace Production ( edit ) Development ( edit ) In January 2015 , Netflix COO Ted Sarandos stated that Jessica Jones the series was `` eligible to go into multiple seasons for sure '' and Netflix would look at `` how well ( they ) are addressing both the Marvel fanbase but also the broader fanbase '' in terms of determining if additional seasons would be appropriate . In July 2015 , Sarandos said some of the Defender series would `` selectively have multiple seasons as they come out of the gate , '' with series showrunner Melissa Rosenberg saying she was hopeful Jessica Jones would get an additional season before Marvel 's The Defenders . Rosenberg later expanded on this , saying that Marvel Television and Netflix were working out the placement of a potential second season , though `` ( i ) t might not be possible from a logistical standpoint '' to have a second season of Jessica Jones debut before The Defenders ; Sarandos later confirmed this to be the case , stating that the season would air after The Defenders released in 2017 . On January 17 , 2016 , Netflix ordered a second season of 13 episodes . Raelle Tucker joined the season as an executive producer and writer , replacing Liz Friedman from the first season , who departed the series to work on the pilot for the ABC series , Conviction . Writing ( edit ) Rosenberg and the season 's writers were halfway through the writing process by August 2016 , with the scripts completed by the end of October 2016 . Writing during the 2016 United States presidential election , Rosenberg noted she `` was just so angry '' and that she and the writing team tried to tap `` into the rage Hillary ( Clinton ) must have felt every day '' for the characters . With The Defenders releasing before the season , Rosenberg used the miniseries as an opportunity to help `` set up '' elements for the season , working with The Defenders executive producers and writers Doug Petrie and Marco Ramirez to do so . Rosenberg wanted to `` continue with ( the Jessica Jones ) character '' in the season , saying , `` She 's a very damaged character , her damage goes beyond ( David Tennant 's ) Kilgrave . There 's a lot to mine from in her backstory and in her present day situation '' . Actress Krysten Ritter said that the second season would evolve from the first , and that for Jones , `` The first season was in her head and the second season is in her heart , '' adding that Jones `` is in a pretty dark headspace '' at the beginning of the season and that the season would be `` more of an emotional thriller this time . '' On whether Tennant could return for the second season , Rosenberg said , `` Sure , when you have David Tennant , you want him around forever ... But the show is called Jessica Jones and the story is about Jessica 's arc and how does that play out in its best form ? '' It was noted that Kilgrave would be `` hard to top '' , though , with Marvel Television head Jeph Loeb saying , `` One of the things that 's important about any Marvel show is your hero is often defined by how strong your antagonist is , '' with Rosenberg adding that the objective for the new villain , or villains , for the season would be not to match or do what was done with Kilgrave . As Kilgrave does appear in the season , Rosenberg felt it was important to have him return to `` be that mirror again '' for Jones , as he is `` such a part of her construction and her dilemma '' . Rosenberg also hoped to `` further expand on the ensemble and on Jessica 's world '' by giving more screen time to supporting characters , noting that in the first season , `` the trick of a show that 's called Jessica Jones ( is if ) she 's not in the scene , it 's not a guarantee that scene will end up in the final picture . You have to earn secondary character stories . You have to flesh them out enough so that they can eventually carry stories of their own '' in future seasons . She also wanted to continue to explore the relationship between Jones and Trish Walker , stating `` That is the core relationship in the piece . It is about female friendship , it is about how friends evolve -- they 're sisters , really -- and it 's about how they evolve and ping off each other . '' On Jones becoming famous after her heroics in the first season , Ritter said , `` She keeps her circle small because she does n't want people in her life , so there 's no textbook on how to deal with new popularity or new eyes on you . '' Speaking on the social issues she hoped to tackle in the season , after covering `` issues of choice , interracial relationships , domestic violence , ( and ) issues of consent '' while also exploring `` feminism and being a woman in this world '' in the first , Rosenberg said , `` I 'm not quite sure yet what the social issues are that we 're dealing with ( in season 2 ) . We 're just trying to find some resonance for ( Jessica Jones ) and a new place to push her , to give Krysten something new to play and really push the boundaries of the character . '' After much of the first season was taken from the Alias comic book , Rosenberg wanted to continue that trend with the second season , but acknowledged that `` the MCU is very different from the comics in terms of its mythology . In the books there were things building towards Civil War and all that , and here that 's not the case . The nature of that is we 're probably not going to be able to continue to do parallel storylines ( to Alias ) '' . On having Jones continue to struggle with the same issues in the second season , Loeb said , `` The end of the ( first season ) -- and it was one of the things that was very important when we talked about the end of the first ( season ) -- was that it was n't , ' Ooh , I triumphed and now I can get in my hovercar and join the Avengers . ' That was n't the story we were interested in telling . '' Rosenberg elaborated by comparing the Jessica Jones to her previous series Dexter , saying that she learned `` you can advance the character , but you never want to cure the character . With Dexter , the moment he felt guilt or accepted that he was ' bad , ' the show 's over . He 's no longer a sociopath . The equivalent for us would be if Jessica somehow recovered from the damage that had been done to her . People do n't just heal '' . She added that Jones ' killing of Kilgrave at the end of the first season was `` a life changing experience '' and something that would affect the character going forward . Rosenberg also stated that the season would be `` about digging deeper into this chaos and peeling back those layers ( of Jones ' life ) , just going to the core of her being '' after the first season focused on Jones ' trauma and facing her abuser . Casting ( edit ) After the season was ordered , several main cast members revealed that they would return for the second season , including Ritter as Jessica Jones , Rachael Taylor as Patricia `` Trish '' Walker , and Carrie - Anne Moss as Jeri Hogarth . Eka Darville also reprises his role as Malcolm Ducasse . In March 2017 , J.R. Ramirez was cast as Oscar Arocho , which was revealed in July after the airing of his character 's death on Power . In April 2017 , Janet McTeer was cast in an undisclosed role , described as someone who has `` an enormous impact on Jessica 's life . '' She was revealed to be playing Alisa Jones , Jessica 's mother , who was briefly portrayed in flashbacks by Miriam Shor in the first season . By July , Leah Gibson had also joined the cast , in the role of Inez Green . Also joining in the season is Terry Chen as Pryce Cheng . In August 2017 , David Tennant was confirmed to be reprising his role as Kilgrave , appearing as a hallucination , with Wil Traval also returning as Will Simpson . Recurring characters in the season include Rebecca De Mornay reprises her role as Dorothy Walker , Kevin Chacon as Vido Arocho and Callum Keith Rennie as Karl Malus . Elden Henson and Rob Morgan reprise their roles as Foggy Nelson and Turk Barrett from previous Marvel Netflix series , respectively . Filming ( edit ) Filming began the week of April 3 , 2017 in New York City , once again using the working title Violet . This followed the end of production on The Defenders in March , with Ritter having indicated in May 2016 that the season would film back - to - back with The Defenders . Filming occurred at the Long Island Aquarium and Exhibition Center . Filming for the season wrapped on September 14 , 2017 . Approaching the second season , Rosenberg wanted to increase the number of female directors working on the series as a further push for representation . This was a goal that `` Marvel was completely on board with '' , and given the demand of many talented female directors at the time , the series ' producers looked to book only female directors first , and approach male directors later in the pre-production phase if needed . Another member of the production suggested that the series book only female directors for the season , which Rosenberg `` had n't contemplated ( as a ) concept prior to that conversation '' . She quickly made that the goal of the production , and in October 2016 , Rosenberg confirmed that all 13 episodes of the season would be directed by women . Oscar 's paintings in the season were created by comic book artist David Mack , who has drawn covers for Jessica Jones comics . Music ( edit ) A soundtrack album for the season was released by Hollywood Records and Marvel Music digitally on March 16 , 2018 , featuring selections of the original score for the season composed by Sean Callery , as well as the original song `` I Want Your Cray Cray '' .

The artists included , in respective order for each episode : Stephanie Hans , Jen Bartel , Elizabeth Torque , Kate Niemczyk , Colleen Doran , Erica Henderson , Audrey Mox , Joyce Chin , Jenny Frison , Amy Reeder , Emanuela Lupacchino , June Brigman , and Annie Wu . The season held its red carpet premiere on March 7 , 2018 at the AMC Loews Lincoln Square . Critical response ( edit ) On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes , the season has an approval rating of 87 % with an average rating of 7.06 / 10 , based on 68 reviews . The website 's critical consensus reads , `` While Jessica Jones is a slower burn with less focus than its inaugural season , its enticing new character arc more fully details the most charismatic Defender . '' Metacritic , which uses a weighted average , assigned the season a score of 70 out of 100 based on 19 critics , indicating `` generally favorable reviews '' . In her review of the first five episodes of the season , Allison Keene of Collider gave the season 4 out of 5 stars . She felt `` ( t ) he season really starts to kick into gear ... once we 're introduced to the central mystery : the truth behind IGH , '' with the season getting `` better and better as it goes along . '' However , as with previous Marvel Netflix series , the season suffered from pacing issues , featuring `` a minimal or non-existent score , scenes that go on for too long , and a limited number of edits that add up to everything feeling like it 's happening in real time . It 's not as bad as any other Marvel series on Netflix in this regard -- not even close -- but it 's still a problem , and one that has unbelievably still not been addressed in terms of episode count ( or shorter runtimes within episodes ) . '' Keene also felt the season missed a `` driving force '' by not having David Tennant back as Kilgrave , but was glad the season largely ignored the events of The Defenders to focus on Jones and her relationships . Awarding the season a `` B '' , Liz Shannon Miller from IndieWire said the season 's all - female directors kept `` the show 's noir bent in place though does n't push too hard into the realm of art -- but the clean approach works , as does Ritter 's always grounded and believable performance . '' She also enjoyed the Hogarth medical storyline , saying it was `` one of the most compelling new storylines '' , despite it not connecting to the overall larger narrative through the first five episodes . For Miller , Janet McTeer was `` the most dynamic element of these early episodes . While she has potential as a foil , there 's not enough of her to keep us hooked , not to mention the lack of the emotional hook that we had with Kilgrave in season 1 . '' Miller also felt the plot lacked direction , and agreed with Keene about the pacing issues . Digital Spy 's Jo Berry said in her review , `` While the beginning of the new season lacks the focus of the first , and is missing a truly menacing bad guy for Jessica to go up against , the new additions and expanded storylines do n't detract from Ritter 's powerhouse performance ... Pacing quibbles aside , this is a darkly enjoyable return for Jessica Jones , thanks to the strong scripts , slick direction and Ritter 's gripping performance . '' In a more mixed review , The Washington Post 's David Betancourt noted the season `` lacks shock value '' . While Ritter `` still brings her A-game ... It 's the lack of Kilgrave that at first seems to be what 's missing from season 2 . '' He did praise the supporting cast , feeling Darville `` has a standout performance '' as Malcolm , with his connection to the larger storyline `` surprising and enjoyable to watch '' , and also praising Taylor , adding it `` would n't hurt to bring ( Taylor ) in '' as her comics alter ego Hellcat , to help the season that `` lags at the beginning '' . Conversely , Susana Polo from Polygon was left disappointed and bored by the early episodes , also noting the lack of compelling antagonist for the season . She said , `` I do n't see Jessica Jones ' second season winning over anyone who was lukewarm about her first -- or anyone who skipped it entirely .

"The season was released on March 8, 2018. It received mostly positive reviews from critics, who once again praised Ritter's performance and the series' female focus, but felt the season suffered from pacing issues and a lack of a compelling villain after Tennant's Kilgrave from season one. A third season of Jessica Jones was ordered on April 12, 2018.[1]"

4706371991788687455 | Mekong Delta | Mekong Delta - wikipedia Mekong Delta This article is about the geographical region . For the German heavy metal band , see Mekong Delta ( band ) . Region in Vietnam Mekong Delta Đồng bằng Sông Cửu Long Đồng Bằng Sông Mê Kông Region Rice paddy in the Mekong Delta . Nickname ( s ) : `` Nine Dragon river delta '' , `` The West '' Provincial map Coordinates : 10 ° 02 ′ N 105 ° 47 ′ E / 10.033 ° N 105.783 ° E / 10.033 ; 105.783 Country Vietnam Area Total 40,576.6 km ( 15,666.7 sq mi ) Elevation 0 m ( 0 ft ) Population ( 2014 ) Total 17,512,900 Density 430 / km ( 1,100 / sq mi ) Time zone ICT ( UTC + 07 : 00 ) The Mekong Delta ( Vietnamese : Đồng bằng Sông Cửu Long , `` Nine Dragon river delta '' or simply Vietnamese : Đồng Bằng Sông Mê Kông , `` Mekong river delta '' ) , also known as the Western Region ( Vietnamese : Miền Tây ) or the South - western region ( Vietnamese : Tây Nam Bộ ) is the region in southwestern Vietnam where the Mekong River approaches and empties into the sea through a network of distributaries . The Mekong delta region encompasses a large portion of southwestern Vietnam of over 40,500 square kilometres ( 15,600 sq mi ) . The size of the area covered by water depends on the season . The region comprises 12 provinces : Long An , Đồng Tháp , Tiền Giang , An Giang , Bến Tre , Vĩnh Long , Trà Vinh , Hậu Giang , Kiên Giang , Sóc Trăng , Bạc Liêu , and Cà Mau , along with the province - level municipality of Cần Thơ . The Mekong Delta has been dubbed as a `` biological treasure trove '' . Over 1,000 animal species were recorded between 1997 and 2007 and new species of plants , fish , lizards , and mammals have been discovered in previously unexplored areas , including the Laotian rock rat , thought to be extinct .

The Mekong Delta was likely inhabited long since prehistory ; the empires of Funan and Chenla maintained a presence in the Mekong Delta for centuries . Archaeological discoveries at Óc Eo and other Funanese sites show that the area was an important part of the Funan kingdom , bustling with trading ports and canals as early as in the first century AD and extensive human settlement in the region may have gone back as far as the 4th century BC . Angkor Borei is a site in the Mekong Delta that existed between 400 BC - 500 AD . This site had extensive maritime trade networks throughout Southeast Asia and with India , and is believed to have possibly been the ancient capital to the Kingdom of Funan . Khmer Empire ( edit ) See also : Khmer Empire The region was known as Khmer Krom ( lower Khmer , or lower Cambodia ) to the Khmer Empire , which likely maintained settlements there centuries before its rise in the 11th and 12th centuries . The kingdom of Champa , though mainly based along the coast of modern Central Vietnam , is known to have expanded west into the Mekong Delta , seizing control of Prey Nokor ( the precursor to modern - day Ho Chi Minh City ) by the end of the 13th century . Author Nghia M. Vo suggests that a Cham presence may indeed have existed in the area prior to Khmer occupation . Kingdom of Cambodia ( edit ) See also : Dark ages of Cambodia Beginning in the 1620s , Cambodian king Chey Chettha II ( 1618 -- 1628 ) allowed the Vietnamese to settle in the area , and to set up a custom house at Prey Nokor , which they colloquially referred to as Sài Gòn . The increasing waves of Vietnamese settlers which followed overwhelmed the kingdom -- weakened as it was due to war with Thailand -- and slowly Vietnamized the area . During the late 17th century , Mạc Cửu , a Chinese anti-Qing general , began to expand Vietnamese and Chinese settlements deeper into Cambodian lands , and in 1691 , Prey Nokor was occupied by the Vietnamese . Vietnam ( edit ) See also : Nguyễn lords , Nam tiến , French Indochina , First Indochina War , Vietnam War , and Cambodian -- Vietnamese War In 1698 , the Nguyễn lords of Huế sent Nguyễn Hữu Cảnh , a Vietnamese noble , to the area to establish Vietnamese administrative structures in the area . This act formally detached the Mekong Delta from Cambodia , placing the region firmly under Vietnamese administrative control . The Khmers were cut off from access to the South China Sea , and trade through the area was possible only with Vietnamese permission . During the Tây Sơn wars and the subsequent Nguyễn Dynasty , Vietnam 's boundaries were pushed as far as the Cape Cà Mau . In 1802 Nguyễn Ánh crowned himself emperor Gia Long and unified all the territories comprising modern Vietnam , including the Mekong Delta . Upon the conclusion of the Cochinchina Campaign in the 1860s , the area became Cochinchina , France 's first colony in Vietnam , and later , part of French Indochina . Beginning during the French colonial period , the French patrolled and fought on the waterways of the Mekong Delta region with their Divisions navales d'assaut ( Dinassaut ) , a tactic which lasted throughout the First Indochina War , and was later employed by the US Navy Mobile Riverine Force . During the Vietnam War -- also referred to as the Second Indochina War -- the Delta region saw savage fighting between Viet Cong ( NLF ) guerrillas and units of the United States Navy 's swift boats and hovercrafts ( PACVs ) . Following independence from France , the Mekong Delta was part of the Republic of Vietnam and eventually the country of Vietnam . In the 1970s , the Khmer Rouge regime attacked Vietnam in an attempt to reconquer the Delta region . This campaign precipitated the Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia and subsequent downfall of the Khmer Rouge . Geography ( edit ) Mekong River Delta from space , February 1996 , oriented with south on the top . The Mekong Delta , as a region , lies immediately to the west of Ho Chi Minh City ( also called Saigon by locals ) , roughly forming a triangle stretching from Mỹ Tho in the east to Châu Đốc and Hà Tiên in the northwest , down to Cà Mau at the southernmost tip of Vietnam , and including the island of Phú Quốc . The Mekong Delta region of Vietnam displays a variety of physical landscapes , but is dominated by flat flood plains in the south , with a few hills in the north and west . This diversity of terrain was largely the product of tectonic uplift and folding brought about by the collision of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates about 50 million years ago . The soil of the lower Delta consists mainly of sediment from the Mekong and its tributaries , deposited over thousands of years as the river changed its course due to the flatness of the low - lying terrain . The present Mekong Delta system has two major distributary channels , both discharging directly into the East Sea . The Holocene history of the Mekong Delta shows delta progradation of about 200 km during the last 6 kyr . During the Middle Holocene the Mekong River was discharging waters into both the East Sea and the Gulf of Thailand . The water entering the Gulf of Thailand was flowing via a palaeochannel located within the western part of the delta ; north of the Camau Peninsula . Upper Pleistocene prodeltaic and delta front sediments interpreted as the deposits of the palaeo - Mekong River where reported from central basin of the Gulf of Thailand The Mekong Delta is the region with the smallest forest area in Vietnam . 300,000 hectares ( 740,000 acres ) or 7.7 % of the total area are forested as of 2011 . The only provinces with large forests are Cà Mau Province and Kiên Giang Province , together accounting for two thirds of the region 's forest area , while forests cover less than 5 % of the area of all of the other eight provinces and cities . Climate change concerns ( edit ) Being a low - lying coastal region , the Mekong Delta is particularly susceptible to floods resulting from rises in sea level due to climate change . The Climate Change Research Institute at Cần Thơ University , in studying the possible consequences of climate change , has predicted that , besides suffering from drought brought on by seasonal decrease in rainfall , many provinces in the Mekong Delta will be flooded by the year 2030 . The most serious cases are predicted to be the provinces of Bến Tre and Long An , of which 51 % and 49 % , respectively , are expected to be flooded if sea levels rise by one meter . Another problem caused by climate change is the increasing soil salinity near the coasts . Bến Tre Province is planning to reforest coastal regions to counter this trend . The duration of inundation at an important road in the city of Can Tho is expected to continue to rise from the current total of 72 inundated days per year to 270 days by 2030 and 365 days by 2050 . This is attributed to the combined influence of sea - level rise and land subsidence . Several projects and initiatives on local , regional and state levels work to counter this trend and safe the Mekong Delta . One programme for integrated coastal management , for instance , is supported by Germany and Australia . Demographics ( edit ) Mekong Delta The inhabitants of the Mekong Delta region are predominantly ethnic Viet . The region , formerly part of the Khmer Empire , is also home to the largest population of Khmers outside of the modern borders of Cambodia . The Khmer minority population live primarily in the Trà Vinh , Sóc Trăng , and Muslim Chăm in Tan Chau , An Giang provinces . There are also sizeable Hoa ( ethnic Chinese ) populations in the Kiên Giang , and Trà Vinh provinces . The region had a population of 17.33 million people in 2011 . The population of the Mekong Delta has been growing relatively slowly in recent years , mainly due to out - migration . The region 's population only increased by 471,600 people between 2005 and 2011 , while 166,400 people migrated out in 2011 alone . Together with the central coast regions , it has one of the slowest growing populations in country . Population growth rates have been between 0.3 % and 0.5 % between 2008 and 2011 , while they have been over 2 % in the neighbouring southeastern region . Net migration has been negative in all of these years . The region also has a relatively low fertility rate , at 1.8 children per woman in 2010 and 2011 , down from 2.0 in 2005 .

Agriculture ( edit ) 2.6 million ha in the Mekong Delta are used for agriculture , which is one fourth of Vietnam 's total . Due to its mostly flat terrain and few forested areas ( except for Cà Mau Province ) , almost two thirds ( 64.5 % ) of the region 's land can be used for agriculture . The share of agricultural land exceeds 80 % in Cần Thơ and neighbouring Hậu Giang Province and is below 50 % only in Cà Mau Province ( 32 % ) and Bạc Liêu Province ( 42 % ) . The region 's land used for growing cereals makes up 47 % of the national total , more than northern and central Vietnam combined . Most of this is used for rice cultivation . Rice output in 2011 was 23,186,000 t , 54.8 % of Vietnam 's total output . The strongest producers are Kiên Giang Province , An Giang Province , and Đồng Tháp Province , producing over 3 million tonnes each and almost 11 million tonnes together . Any two of these provinces produce more than the entire Red River Delta . Only three provinces produce less than 1 million tonnes of rice ( Bạc Liêu Province , Cà Mau Province , Bến Tre Province ) . Fishery ( edit ) The Mekong Delta is also Vietnam 's most important fishing region . It has almost half of Vietnam 's capacity of offshore fishing vessels ( mostly in Kien Gian with almost 1 / 4 , Bến Tre , Cà Mau , Tiền Giang , Bạc Liêu ) . Fishery output was at 3.168 million tons ( 58.3 % of Vietnam ) and has experienced rapid growth from 1.84 mt in 2005 . All of Vietnam 's largest fishery producers with over 300kt of output are in the Mekong Delta : Kiên Giang , Cà Mau , Đồng Tháp , An Giang , and Bến Tre . Despite the region 's large offshore fishing fleet , 2 / 3 ( 2.13 million tonnes out of Vietnam 's total of 2.93 ) of fishery output actually comes from aquaculture . December 2015 , aquaculture production was estimated at 357 thousand tons , up 11 % compared to the same period last year , bringing the total aquaculture production 3516 thousand tons in 2015 , up 3.0 % compared to the same period . Although aquaculture production has increased overall , aquaculture still faces many difficulties coming from export markets . Industry and FDI ( edit ) The Mekong Delta is not strongly industrialized , but is still the third out of seven regions in terms of industrial gross output . The region 's industry accounts for 10 % of Vietnam 's total as of 2011 . Almost half of the region 's industrial production is concentrated in Cần Thơ , Long An Province and Cà Mau Province . Cần Thơ is the economic center of the region and more industrialized than the other provinces . Long An has been the only province of the region to attract part of the manufacturing booming around Ho Chi Minh City and is seen by other provinces as an example of successful FDI attraction . Cà Mau Province is home to a large industrial zone including power plants and a fertiliser factory . Accumulated foreign direct investment in the Mekong Delta until 2011 was $10.257 bn . It has been highly concentrated in a few provinces , led by Long An and Kiên Giang with over $3 bn each , Tiền Giang and Cần Thơ ( around 850m ) , Cà Mau ( 780m ) and Hậu Giang ( 673m ) , while the other provinces have received less than 200m each . In general , the performance of the region in attracting FDI is evaluated as unsatisfactory by local analysts and policymakers . Companies from Ho Chi Minh City have also invested heavily in the region . Their investment from 2000 to June 2011 accounted for 199 trillion VND ( almost $10 bn ) . Infrastructure ( edit ) The construction of the Cần Thơ Bridge , a cable - stayed bridge over the largest distributary of the Mekong River , was completed on April 12 , 2010 , three years after a collapse that killed 54 and injured nearly 100 workers . The bridge replaces the ferry system that currently runs along National Route 1A , and links Vĩnh Long Province and Cần Thơ city . The cost of construction is estimated to be 4.842 trillion Vietnamese đồng ( approximately 342.6 million United States dollars ) , making it the most expensive bridge in Vietnam . Culture ( edit ) Life in the Mekong Delta revolves much around the river , and many of the villages are often accessible by rivers and canals rather than by road . The region is home to cải lương , a form of Kinh / Vietnamese folk opera . Literature and movies ( edit ) Several movies have been filmed in the Mekong Delta and depict the culture of the region . They include The Buffalo Boy and The Floating Lives . In the movie Apocalypse Now , Lt. Col. Kilgore captures this location for the American soldiers to surf ( due to its 6 - foot peak ) , justifying it with the famous line , `` Charlie do n't surf '' . Nguyễn Ngọc Tư , an author from Cà Mau Province , has written many popular books about life in the Mekong Delta such as : Ngọn đèn không tắt ( The Inextinguishable Light , 2000 ) Ông ngoại ( Grandpa , 2001 ) Biển người mênh mông ( The Ocean of People , 2003 ) Giao thừa ( New Year 's Eve , 2003 ) Nước chảy mây trôi ( Flowing Waters , Flying Clouds , 2004 ) Cánh đồng bất tận ( The Endless Field , 2005 ) See also ( edit ) Greater Mekong Sub-region Academic and Research Network GMS Environment Operations Center Mekong Basin Disease Surveillance Notes and references ( edit ) Notes Jump up ^ `` At the height of the Khmer Empire 's economic and political strength , during the eleventh and twelfth centuries , its rulers established and fostered the growth of Prey Nokor ( ... ) It is possible that there already had been a settlement at this location in the Mekong marshes for some centuries , depending , as Prey Nokor did , on the handling of goods traded between the countries bordering the South China Sea and the interior provinces of the empire .

"The Mekong Delta (Vietnamese: Đồng bằng Sông Cửu Long, \"Nine Dragon river delta\" or simply Vietnamese: Đồng Bằng Sông Mê Kông, \"Mekong river delta\"), also known as the Western Region (Vietnamese: Miền Tây) or the South-western region (Vietnamese: Tây Nam Bộ) is the region in southwestern Vietnam where the Mekong River approaches and empties into the sea through a network of distributaries. The Mekong delta region encompasses a large portion of southwestern Vietnam of over 40,500 square kilometres (15,600 sq mi).[2] The size of the area covered by water depends on the season. The region comprises 12 provinces: Long An, Đồng Tháp, Tiền Giang, An Giang, Bến Tre, Vĩnh Long, Trà Vinh, Hậu Giang, Kiên Giang, Sóc Trăng, Bạc Liêu, and Cà Mau, along with the province-level municipality of Cần Thơ.\n"

Their identical appearance initially creates rivalry , and they pull pranks on each other , culminating in the camp dance being ruined . As punishment , Miss Inch decides that they must live together in the isolated `` Serendipity '' cabin ( and eat together at an `` Isolation Table '' ) for the remainder of the camp season . After discovering that they both come from single - parent homes , they soon realize they are twin sisters and that their parents , Mitchell `` Mitch '' Evers ( Brian Keith ) and Margaret `` Maggie '' McKendrick ( Maureen O'Hara ) , divorced shortly after their birth , with each parent having custody of one of them . The twins , each eager to meet the parent she never knew , decide to switch places . Susan gives Sharon a matching haircut and has her bite her nails . They also take a crash - course getting to know each other while learning about each other 's personalities and ways of life . While Susan is in Boston at their grandparents ' house pretending to be Sharon , Sharon goes to California to their father 's house , pretending to be Susan . Sharon learns their father is engaged to a child - hating gold digger named Vicky Robinson ( Joanna Barnes ) . Sharon calls Susan to tell her that their father is planning to marry Vicky , who is beautiful and dangerous , and that she must bring their mother to California immediately . Susan eventually reveals to their mother and grandparents the truth about their switching places . They are extremely happy to see Susan again , and Maggie and Susan fly to California . After Mitch and Maggie are reunited , they argue and the twins make their surprise appearance together . Mitch is extremely happy to see Sharon again , and after he tells Vicky the truth about the twins , she is shocked and furious -- especially after learning that Maggie plans to spend the night at his house . The girls recreate their parents ' first date at the Italian restaurant Martinelli 's with a gypsy violinist . The former spouses are gradually drawn together , but have another fight with Maggie telling Mitch that she and Sharon are leaving in the morning , and that she wishes him the best of everything with Vicky . Susan and Sharon try to find a way to delay their return to Boston , so the twins dress and talk alike so their parents are unable to tell them apart . They will reveal who is who only after returning from the annual family camping trip . Mitch and Maggie reluctantly agree . Vicky is furious , so Maggie tricks her into taking her place and letting her know it would give her a chance to get to know the twins better . Mitch is an outdoorsman , but Vicky is not , and she is not used to climbing mountains and being in the woods , so the twins decide to play tricks on her . Vicky spends her time swatting mosquitoes after unknowingly using sugared water instead of mosquito repellent , and being awakened by two bear cubs licking honey off her feet , which the twins had previously placed there . Exasperated , Vicky finally has a shouting tantrum destroying everything in her path and culminating in angrily slapping one of the girls , leaving Mitch with a whole new - found view of her . When she runs off to escape back to the city in a great huff , Mitch seems none too worried to be rid of her . Back at the house , the twins apologize for what they did to Vicky , and are forgiven . Maggie makes dinner , and Mitch talks about what their life was like when they were married . They realize they still love each other , and do not want to grow into a couple of old and lonely people . They share a kiss , and decide to remarry . Cast ( edit ) Hayley Mills as Sharon McKendrick / Susan Evers Brian Keith as Mitchell `` Mitch '' Evers Maureen O'Hara as Margaret `` Maggie '' McKendrick Joanna Barnes as Vicky Robinson Charlie Ruggles as Charles McKendrick Cathleen Nesbitt as Louise McKendrick Una Merkel as Verbena the housekeeper Leo G. Carroll as Reverend Dr. Mosby Linda Watkins as Edna Robinson Ruth McDevitt as Miss Abbey Inch Crahan Denton as Hecky the ranch foreman Nancy Kulp as Miss Grunecker Frank De Vol as Mr. Eaglewood Susan Henning ( de ) as Sharon McKendrick / Susan Evers ( body double ) ( uncredited ) Production notes ( edit ) The film originally called for only a few trick photography shots of Hayley Mills in scenes with herself ; the bulk of the film was to be shot using a body double . The film used Disney 's proprietary sodium vapor process for compositing rather than the usual chroma key technique . When Walt Disney saw how seamless the processed shots were , he ordered the script reconfigured to include more of the special effect . Disney also wanted Mills to appear on camera as much as possible , knowing that she was having growth spurts during filming . The film was shot mostly at various locales in California . The summer camp scenes were filmed at Bluff Lake Camp ( then owned by the Pasadena YMCA , now by Habonim Dror 's Camp Gilboa ) and the family camping scenes later in the movie at Cedar Lake Camp , both in the San Bernardino Mountains near the city of Big Bear Lake in Southern California . The Monterey scenes were filmed in various California locations , including millionaire Stuyvesant Fish 's 5,200 acres ( 21 km ) ranch in Carmel and Monterey 's Pebble Beach golf course . The scenes at the Monterey house were shot at the studio 's Golden Oak Ranch in Placerita Canyon , where Mitch 's ranch was built . It was the design of this set that proved the most popular , and to this day the Walt Disney Archives receives requests for plans of the home 's interior design . In fact , there never was such a house ; the set was simply various rooms built on a sound stage . Camp Inch was based on a real girls ' camp called Camp Crestridge for Girls at the Ridgecrest Baptist Conference Center near Asheville , North Carolina . Musical numbers ( edit ) Richard and Robert Sherman provided the songs , which , besides the title song `` The Parent Trap '' , includes `` For Now , For Always '' , and `` Let 's Get Together '' . `` Let 's Get Together '' ( sung by Annette Funicello ) is heard playing from a record player at the summer camp ; the tune is reprised by the twins when they restage their parents ' first date and that version is sung double - tracked by Hayley Mills . ( Hayley 's own single of the song , credited to `` Hayley Mills and Hayley Mills , '' reached # 8 on the US charts . ) The film 's title song was performed by Tommy Sands and Annette Funicello , who were both on the studio lot shooting Babes in Toyland at the time .

"Identical twins Susan Evers and Sharon McKendrick (Hayley Mills) meet at Miss Inch's Summer Camp for Girls, unaware that they are sisters. Their identical appearance initially creates rivalry, and they pull pranks on each other, culminating in the camp dance being ruined. As punishment, Miss Inch decides that they must live together in the isolated \"Serendipity\" cabin (and eat together at an \"Isolation Table\") for the remainder of the camp season. After discovering that they both come from single-parent homes, they soon realize they are twin sisters and that their parents, Mitchell \"Mitch\" Evers (Brian Keith) and Margaret \"Maggie\" McKendrick (Maureen O'Hara), divorced shortly after their birth, with each parent having custody of one of them. The twins, each eager to meet the parent she never knew, decide to switch places. Susan gives Sharon a matching haircut and has her bite her nails. They also take a crash-course getting to know each other while learning about each other's personalities and ways of life.\n"

An economic intervention is an action taken by a government or international institution in a market economy in an effort to impact the economy beyond the basic regulation of fraud and enforcement of contracts and provision of public goods . Economic intervention can be aimed at a variety of political or economic objectives , such as promoting economic growth , increasing employment , raising wages , raising or reducing prices , promoting income equality , managing the money supply and interest rates , increasing profits , or addressing market failures . The term intervention assumes on a philosophical level that the state and economy should be inherently separated from each other ; therefore the terminology applies to capitalist market - based economies where government action interrupts the market forces at play through regulations , economic policies or subsidies ( however state - owned enterprises that operate in the market do not constitute an intervention ) . The term `` intervention '' is typically used by advocates of laissez - faire and free markets . Capitalist market economies that feature high degrees of state intervention are often referred to as mixed economies .

La Follette , Sr . Immanuel Kant John Stuart Mill Theodore Roosevelt Al Smith William Howard Taft Woodrow Wilson Long Yun By region ( show ) In the Muslim world In South Korea In the United States Philosophy portal Politics portal Libertarians and other advocates of free market or laissez - faire economics generally view government interventions as harmful , due to the law of unintended consequences , belief in government 's inability to effectively manage economic concerns , and other considerations . Government officials tend to be naturally disposed to seek more power and authority , and the money that usually goes with those things , and this quest often takes the form of economic interventionism which they then seek to justify . Many modern liberals ( in the United States ) and contemporary social democrats ( in Europe ) are inclined to support interventionism , seeing state economic interventions as an important means of promoting greater income equality and social welfare . On the other hand , Marxists often feel that government welfare programs might interfere with the goal of overthrowing capitalism and replacing it with socialism , because a welfare state makes capitalism more tolerable to the average worker . Socialists often criticize interventionism ( as supported by social democrats and social liberals ) as being untenable and liable to cause more economic distortion in the long - run . From this perspective , any attempt to `` patch up '' capitalism 's contradictions would lead to distortions in the economy elsewhere , so that the only real and lasting solution is to entirely replace capitalism with a socialist economy . Political conservatives of the nationalist variety also frequently support economic interventionism as a means of protecting the power and wealth of a country or its people , particularly via advantages granted to industries seen as nationally vital . Effects ( edit ) Typical intervention strategies under different conditions The effects of government economic interventionism are widely disputed . Regulatory authorities do not consistently close markets , yet as seen in economic liberalization efforts by states and various institutions ( International Monetary Fund and World Bank ) in Latin America , `` ... financial liberalization and privatization coincided with democratization '' . One study suggests that after the lost decade an increasing `` diffusion of regulatory authorities '' emerged , these actors engaged in restructuring the economies within Latin America . Latin America through the 1980s had undergone a debt crisis and hyperinflation ( during 1989 and 1990 ) . These international stakeholders restricted the state 's economic leverage , and bound it in contract to co-operate . Multiple projects and years of failed attempts , for the Argentine state to comply , the renewal and intervention seemed stalled . Two key intervention factors that instigated economic progress in Argentina , were substantially increasing privatization and the establishment of a currency board . As one can see this exemplifies global institutions including the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank instigate and propagate openness to increase foreign investments and economic development within places including Latin America . In Western countries , government officials theoretically weigh the cost benefit for an intervention for the population or they succumb beneath coercion by a third private party and must take action . Also intervention for economic development is at the discretion and self - interest of the stake holders , the multifarious interpretations of progress and development theory could mean . To illustrate this during the 2008 debt crisis ; the government and international institutions did not prop Lehman Brothers up therefore allowing them to file bankruptcy . Days later when AIG waned towards collapsing , the state spent public money to keep it from falling . These corporations have interconnected interests with the state . Therefore , their incentive is to influence the government to designate regulatory policies that will not inhibit their accumulation of assets . In Japan , Abenomics is a form of intervention with respect to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe 's desire to restore the country 's former glory in the midst of a globalized economy . U.S. government interventions ( edit ) U.S. energy sources and sinks President Richard Nixon signed amendments to the Clean Air Act in 1970 , that expanded it to mandate state and federal regulation of both automobiles and industry . It was later further amended in 1977 and 1990 . `` One of the first modern environmental protection laws enacted in the United States was the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 ( NEPA ) , which requires the government to consider the impact of its actions or policies on the environment . NEPA remains one of the most commonly used environmental laws in the nation . In addition to NEPA , there are numerous pollution - control statutes that apply to such specific environmental media as air and water . The best known of these laws are the Clean Air Act ( CAA ) , Clean Water Act ( CWA ) , and the Comprehensive Environmental Response , Compensation , and Liability Act ( CERCLA ) commonly referred to as Superfund . Among the many other important pollution control laws are the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ( RCRA ) , Toxic Substances Control Act ( TSCA ) , Oil Pollution Prevention Act ( OPP ) , Emergency Planning and Community Right - to - Know Act ( EPCRA ) , and the Pollution Prevention Act ( PPA ) . '' United States pollution control statutes tend to be numerous and diverse , and many of the environmental statutes passed by Congress are aimed at pollution prevention , they often need to be expanded and updated before their impact is fully realized . Pollution - control laws are generally too broad to be managed by existing legal bodies , so Congress must find or create an agency for each that will be able to implement the mandated mission effectively . During World War I , U.S government intervention mandated that the manufacturing of cars be replaced with machinery to successfully fight the war . Today government intervention could be used to break the U.S dependence on oil by mandating U.S automakers to produce electric cars such as the Chevrolet Volt . Recently , Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm ( D ) said , `` We need help from Congress , '' namely , renewing the clean energy manufacturing tax credit and the tax incentives that make plug - ins cheaper to buy for consumers . It is possible that government mandated carbon taxes could be used to improve technology and make cars like the Volt more affordable to consumers . Unfortunately , current bills suggest carbon prices would only add a few cents to the price of gasoline , which has negligible effects , compared to what 's needed to change fuel consumption . Washington is beginning to invest in car manufacturing industry by partially provinding $6 billion in battery - related public and private investments since 2008 , and the White House has taken credit for putting a down payment on the U.S. battery industry that may reduce battery prices in the coming years . Currently , opponents believe that the carbon dioxide emissions tax , that the U.S. government introduced , on new cars that is unfair on consumers and looks like a revenue - raising fiscal intervention instead of limiting harm caused to the environment . A national fuel tax means everyone , no matter what vehicle they drive , will pay the tax . The amount of tax each individual or company pays will be proportional to the emissions they generate . The more they drive , the more that they would need to pay . This tax is supported by the motor manufacturers , however stipulations confirmed by the National Treasury , state that minibuses and midibuses will receive a special exclusion from the emissions tax on cars and light commercial vehicles , which comes into effect from September 1 , 2010 . This exclusion is because these taxi vehicles are used for public transport , which opponents of the tax disagree with . During George W. Bush 's 2000 campaign , he promised to commit $2 billion over 10 years to advance clean coal technology through research and development initiatives . According to Bush supporters , he fulfilled that promise in his fiscal year 2008 budget request , allocating $426 million for the Clean Coal Technology Program . During his administration , Congress passed the Energy Policy Act of 2005 , funding research into carbon - capture technology to remove and bury the carbon in coal after it is burned . The coal industry received $9 billion in subsidies under the act , as part of an initiative supposedly to reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil and reduce carbon emissions . This included $6.2 billion for new power plants , $1.1 billion in tax breaks to install pollution - control technology and another $1.1 billion to make coal a cost efficient fuel . The act also allowed redefinitions of coal processing , such as spraying on diesel or starch , to qualify them as `` non-traditional , '' allowing coal producers to avoid paying $1.3 billion in taxes per year . The Waxman - Markey bill , also called the American Clean Energy and Security Act , passed by the House Energy and Commerce Committee in 2010 , targets dramatic CO2 reductions after 2020 , when the price of the permits would rise to further limit consumers ' demand for CO2 - intensive goods and services . The legislation is targeting 83 percent reduction in CO2 emissions from 2005 levels in the year 2050 . A study by the EPA estimates that the price of the permit would rise from about $20 a ton in 2020 to more than $75 a ton in 2050 . The US Office of Management and Budget ( OMB ) shows that federal subsidies for coal in the United States were planned to be reduced significantly between 2011 and 2020 , provided the budget passed through Congress and reduces four coal tax preferences : Expensing of Exploration and Development Costs , Percent Depletion for Hard Mineral Fossil Fuels , Royalty Taxation , and Domestic Manufacturing Deduction for Hard Mineral Fossil Fuels . The fiscal 2011 budget proposed by the Obama administration would cut approximately $2.3 billion in coal subsidies during the next decade .

The situation is the day - to - day life of the Parkinson family in a bittersweet style . There are both traditional comedy sources ( Ria 's cooking , family squabbles ) and more unusual sources such as Ria 's unconsummated relationship with the outwardly - successful Leonard . Ria is still in love with her husband , Ben , and has raised two potentially fine sons , yet finds herself dissatisfied and in need of something more . Throughout the series Ria searches for that `` something more '' and finds some solace in her unconventional friendship with Leonard . In a 2002 interview , Carla Lane explained , `` I wanted to write a comedy about a woman contemplating adultery . '' In the first episode , an expository discussion between Ria and Leonard alludes to the significance of the series ' title : `` We are all kids chasing butterflies . You see it , you want it , you grab it , and there it is , all squashed in your hand . '' She adds , `` I am one of the few lucky ones , I have a pleasant house , a pleasant man and two pleasant sons . My butterfly did n't get squashed . '' Ria 's husband Ben collects and studies butterflies .

Ria 's early dialogue in the first series suggests her age as early 40s , whereas her husband , Ben , quotes himself to be `` the wrong side of 45 '' . Ben is a typically traditional , conservative white - collar professional , ill at ease with his sons ' lack of work - ethic and carefree post-punk attitudes ( the series starts in 1978 ) whilst remaining unaware of his wife 's impending mid-life crisis . They have been married for 19 years and are depicted as having a comfortable lifestyle , supported by one bread - winner in the household at a time in British history when ' stay at home ' housewives were becoming less common . Ria 's disastrous attempts at cooking are a recurring gag . The Parkinsons have two sons , both of driving age ( at least 17 years of age under UK law in 1978 ) and unemployed ( in 1978 the UK was heading towards recession under Prime Minister , James Callaghan , with youth unemployment on the increase ) . Their youngest son , Adam , is played by Nicholas Lyndhurst and their older son , Russell , by Andrew Hall . Throughout all four series , there is a continuing sub-plot running in tandem with the main storyline , tracking the difficulties faced by young adolescent men coming of age in the UK during a period when there were few employment opportunities and the threat of nuclear war . Both of the Parkinson sons ' characters are seen making fun of their father 's traditional post-war reserved British attitude , whilst also undergoing their own issues such as unemployment , girlfriend troubles , cannabis use against the wishes of their horrified father and teenage pregnancy , when Russell fathers a child with his on - off girlfriend . Bruce Montague plays Ria 's friend Leonard , a successful businessman , aged 44 whose wife has recently left him and is , like Ria Parkinson , approaching his own mid-life crisis . The show also featured two recurring minor characters : Leonard 's chauffeur and confidant Thomas ( Michael Ripper ) and the Parkinsons ' cleaner , Ruby ( Joyce Windsor ) , who often lends Ria an ear . Theme song ( edit ) The Butterflies theme song , `` Love Is Like a Butterfly '' , is a 1974 single written and originally recorded by American country music artist Dolly Parton . The cover version used at the opening of each episode was recorded for the series by Clare Torry , with a band conducted by BBC TV composer Ronnie Hazlehurst . The Adagio in G Minor written by Tomaso Albinoni was used as interlude music in most of the episodes where Ria is reflecting on her dilemma , and walking through a park on her own . It is a very bitter - sweet twist on two , once very in love partners where the marriage is actually breaking down , but not recognised by the husband who is totally engrossed in his work and profession . Ria starts a romance with another man , which is initially seen by the viewer as virtual image , ( almost like a thought bubble as seen in a strip cartoon as she walks through the park ) . He later turns out to be real . The Adagio is used as a `` filler '' for the lack of script . Filming locations ( edit ) Unlike most Carla Lane sitcoms , Butterflies is not set in Liverpool , but rather Cheltenham , Gloucestershire ( Ben refers to this in the final episode , `` Loose Ends '' ) . Many of the exterior scenes were filmed there , including the High Street , Montpellier and Hatherley Park . Exterior shots for the Parkinson house were filmed at 30 Bournside Road in Up Hatherley , Cheltenham . Locations included properties along Bournside Road , Lansdown Road and Christchurch Road in Cheltenham , and that town 's Hatherley Park , Pittville Park , Imperial Gardens and Neptune 's Fountain ; High Street ; The Promenade , Montpellier ; Peter 's Bar , 23 Montpellier Walk , which later became J.J. O'Neill's ; and Presto Supermarket , Grosvenor Terrace , which later became Bannatyne 's Health and Fitness . The apparent office block that could often be seen behind the house at 30 Bournside Road was , in fact , the rear of the catering block of the then North Gloucestershire College of Technology which was located in The Park , Cheltenham , and is now a housing estate . Episodes ( edit ) The series comprises twenty - eight episodes . Series Year Episodes 1978 `` When Ria Met Leonard '' : Ria meets a man and is attracted to him `` Breaking the Silence '' : Ben and Russell start talking to each other again `` Thinking About a Job '' : Ria is bored and wants a job - but Ben forbids it `` How About Lunch ?

The family are happy for a seasonal excuse to avoid eating Ria 's food . She reveals to Adam privately that Leonard has gone to New York , but he is instead outside in his car , until Thomas reminds him that his former wife is waiting for him at home . Leonard calls Ria on the home phone and Adam answers . Asking for Ria , Leonard is told that Ria is kissing Ben under the mistletoe . When Ria gets to the phone , Leonard hears her voice and hangs up without speaking . Special for Children in need ( 2000 ) ( edit ) In November 2000 , the cast ( save for Michael Ripper who had recently died ) reunited for a 13 - minute episode in aid of Children in Need . The premise is Ria 's 60th birthday and the lack of change to her situation . American series pilot ( 1979 ) ( edit ) An American remake was piloted but never commissioned . NBC broadcast the pilot in August 1979 , with little change to the original scripting . It starred Jennifer Warren as Ria Parkinson and John McMartin as her husband , Ben Parkinson . Film actor Jim Hutton was featured as Leonard Dean in this version . It was Hutton 's last acting job . He died suddenly from liver cancer at the age of 45 in June 1979 , several weeks before the pilot aired . DVD release ( edit ) This section does not cite any sources .

-495903482244362350 | Kakori conspiracy | Kakori conspiracy - wikipedia Kakori conspiracy Jump to : navigation , search The Kakori Conspiracy ( or Kakori train robbery or Kakori Case ) was a train robbery that took place between Kakori and , near Lucknow , on 9 August 1925 during the Indian Independence Movement against the British Indian Government . The robbery was organised by the Hindustan Republican Association ( HRA ) . Photo of German made Mauser pistol . Four Mausers were used by the Indian freedom fighters . The robbery was conceived by Ram Prasad Bismil and Ashfaqullah Khan who belonged to the HRA , which later became the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association . This organisation was established to carry out revolutionary activities against the British Empire in India with the objective of achieving independence . Since the organisation needed money for purchase of weaponry , Bismil and his party decided to plunder a train on one of the Northern Railway lines . The robbery plan was executed by Ram Prasad Bismil , Ashfaqulla Khan , Rajendra Lahiri , Chandrashekhar Azad , Sachindra Bakshi , Keshab Chakravarty , Manmathnath Gupta , Murari Lal Gupta ( fake name of Murari Lal Khanna ) , Mukundi Lal ( Mukundi Lal Gupta ) and Banwari Lal .

It is believed that they looted that specific train because train was supposed to carry the money - bags belonging to the British Government Treasury in the guard 's cabin . One passenger was killed by an accidental shot , making it a murder case . They looted only these bags containing some 8,000 Rupees and escaped to Lucknow while not a single Indian was looted , because the targets of the mission were : To get money for the organisation which was intended to be taken from the opponent , the British Administration itself . To get some public attention by creating a positive image of the HRA among Indians to overcome the bad image created by British Administration . To shake the British Administration by robbing money from them . Following the incident , the British administration started an intense manhunt and arrested several of the revolutionaries involved in the HRA . Their leader , Ram Prasad Bismil , was arrested at Saharanpur on 26 September 1925 , and his lieutenant , Ashfaqullah Khan , was arrested ten months later at Delhi . Arrests ( edit ) Forty people were arrested from all over India . Their names with the places of arrest are : From Agra Chandra Dhar Johri Chandra bhal Johri From Allahabad Shitala Sahai Jyoti Shankar Dixit Bhupendra Nath Sanyal From Banaras Manmathnath Gupta Phanindera Nath Banerji Damodar Swarup Seth Ram Nath Pandey Dev Datt Bhattacharya Indra Vikram Singh Mukundi Lal From Bengal Sachindra Nath Sanyal Yogesh Chandra Chatterjii Rajendra Lahiri Sharat Chandra Guha Kali Das Bose From Etah Babu Ram Verma From Hardoi Bhairon Singh From Kanpur Ram Dulare Trivedi Gopi Mohan Raj Kumar Sinha Suresh Chandra Bhattacharya From Lahore Mohan Lal Gautam From Lakhimpur Harnam Sundarlal From Lucknow Govind Charan Kar Shachindra Nath Vishvas From Mathura Shiv Charan Lal Sharma ( warrant was issued against him but he was not arrested because he fled to Pondicherry ) From Meerut Vishnu Sharan Dublish From Orai Veer Bhadra Tiwari From Pune Ram Krishna Khatri From Raibareli Banwari Lal From Shahjahanpur Ram Prasad Bismil Banarsi Lal Lala Har Govind Prem Krishna Khanna Indubhushan Mitra Thakur Roshan Singh Ram Dutt Shukla Madan Lal Ram Ratna Shukla Ashfaqulla Khan From Pratapgarh Sachindra Bakshi Of the above , Shachindra Nath Sanyal , Rajendra Lahiri and Yogesh Chandra Chatterji had already been arrested in Bengal . Lahiri was prosecuted in a Dakshineshwar bombing case , while Ashfaqullah Khan and Sachindra Bakshi were arrested later when the main Kakori conspiracy case was over . A supplementary case was filed against these two and they were prosecuted in the same manner . Kakori trial ( edit ) Ram Prasad Bismil and some others were charged with various offences , including robbery and murder . Fifteen people had been released due to lack of evidence and a further five had absconded . Two of the absconders -- Ashfaqullah Khan and Sachindra Bakshi -- were captured after the trial , while one of the others , Chandrasekhar Azad , reorganised the HRA in 1928 and shot himself on 27 February 1931 at Chandrasekhar Azad Park , Allahabad . Charges pressed against a further four men were dropped . Damodar Swarup Seth was discharged due to illness , while Veer Bhadra Tiwari , Jyoti Shankar Dixit and Shiv Charan Lal have been suspected of providing information to the authorities . A further two people -- Banarsi Lal and Indu Bhushan Mitra -- became approvers : they helped the prosecution , as also did Banwari Lal in return for a lenient sentence of two years imprisonment . Court 's proceedings ( edit ) This section does not cite any sources . Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( July 2014 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Charges against 15 of the accused were withdrawn . The trial against the remaining 28 began on 21 May 1926 in the special session court of A. Hamilton . Abbas Salim Khan , Banwari Lal Bhargava , Gyan Chattarjee and Mohd Ayuf were the assessors of the case . Of the 28 , Sachindra Nath Sanyal , Jogesh Chandra Chatterjee and Rajendra Nath Lahiri were transported from where they had been held in Bengal . The court appointed Jagat Narayan Mulla as public prosecutor knowingly ; he had been prejudiced against Ram Prasad Bismil since 1916 , when Bismil led the grand procession of Bal Gangadhar Tilak at Lucknow . He had also been the public procecutor in the Mainpuri conspiracy case of 1918 . Final verdict ( edit ) Following the arrest of Ashfaqullah Khan , the police tried to make him provide evidence against his accomplices but he refused . Another supplementary case was filed against Ashfaqulla Khan and Sachindra Bakshi in the court of Special Sessions Judge J.R.W. Bennett . An appeal was filed in the then Chief Court of Oudh ( now in Uttar Pradesh ) on 18 July 1927 . The punishments given were as follows : Death sentence : Ram Prasad Bismil , Thakur Roshan Singh , Rajendra Nath Lahiri and Ashfaqullah Khan Deportation to Kālā Pānī ( Port Blair cellular jail ) : Shachindra Nath Sanyal and Sachindra Bakshi 14 years imprisonment : Manmath Nath Gupta 10 years imprisonment : Yogesh Chandra Chatterjee , Mukundi Lal , Govid Charan Kar , Raj Kumar Singh and Ram Krishna Khatri 7 years imprisonment : Vishnu Charan Dublish , Suresh Charan Bhattacharya 5 years imprisonment : Bhupen Nath Sanyal , Prem Krishna Sharma 4 years imprisonment : Keshab Chakravarthy Hunger strike in the jail ( edit ) After final judgement of court , the group photograph was taken and all the accused were sent to the different jails of United Province . They were asked to put off their clothes and wear the jail dress like other prisoners . All the accused protested this jail order and started hunger strikes on the first day . Their plea was quite genuine . They argued that since the all have been charged to overturn the British rule and have been punished under section 120 ( B ) and 121 ( A ) hence they should be treated as political prisoners and provided the same facilities in the jails . The details of their hunger strike are given hereunder : Name of the prisoner Name of the jail Days of hunger strike Ram Prasad Bismil Gorakhpur Central jail 4 days ( from 7 April 1927 to 11 April 1927 ) Roshan Singh Allahabad Jail 6 days ( from 7 April 1927 to 13 April 1927 ) Ram Nath Pandey Raibareli District jail 11 days ( from 7 April 1927 to 18 April 1927 ) Prem Krishna Khanna Dehradun District jail 16 days ( from 7 April 1927 to 23 April 1927 ) Suresh Chandra Bhattacharya Agra Central jail 19 days ( from 7 April 1927 to 26 April 1927 ) Ram Krishna Khatri Agra Central jail 32 days ( from 7 April 1927 to 9 May 1927 ) Mukundi Lal Bareilly Central Jail 32 days ( from 7 April 1927 t0 9 May 1927 ) Raj Kumar Sinha Bareilly Central Jail 38 days ( from 7 April 1927 to 15 May 1927 ) Jogesh Chandra Chatterjee Fatehgarh jail 41 days ( from 7 April 1927 to 18 May 1927 ) Ram Dulare Trivedi Fatehgarh jail 41 days ( from 7 April 1927 to 18 May 1927 ) Govind Charan Kar Fatehgarh jail 41 days ( from 7 April 1927 to 18 May 1927 ) Manmath Nath Gupta Naini Allahabad jail 45 days ( from 7 April 1927 to 22 May 1927 ) Vishnu Sharan Dublish Naini Allahabad jail 45 days ( from 7 April 1927 to 22 May 1927 ) Defence committee ( edit ) The legal defence for the arrested revolutionaries was provided by Gobind Ballabh Pant , Mohan Lal Saxena , Chandra Bhanu Gupta , Ajit Prasad Jain , Gopi Nath Srivastava , R.M. Bahadurji and B.K. Chaudhury and Kripa Shankar Hajela . Pandit Jagat Narayan Mulla , a leading advocate from Lucknow and brother in law of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru refused to take up the defence of the arrested revolutionaries . He was appointed as Public Prosecutor by the law of Court . Among the political figures who came out in support of those arrested for the Kakori train robbery were : Motilal Nehru , Madan Mohan Malviya , Muhammad Ali Jinnah , Lala Lajpat Rai , Jawaharlal Nehru , Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi , Shiv Prasad Gupta , Shri Prakash and Acharya Narendra Dev . Reaction in the country ( edit ) This section does not cite any sources . Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( July 2014 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) There were widespread protests against the Court 's decision all over the country , and members of the Central Legislature even petitioned the Viceroy of India to commute the death sentences given to the four men to life sentences . Appeals were also sent to the Privy Council and even to Mohandas K. Gandhi himself . However , these requests were turned down and the men were finally executed . Clemency appeal ( edit ) On 22 August 1927 , the Chief Court endorsed the original judgement with an exception of one or two punishments . A mercy appeal was filed in due course before the Provincial Governor of U.P. by the members of legislative council which was dismissed . Ram Prasad Bismil wrote a letter to Madan Mohan Malviya on 9 September 1927 from Gorakhpur Jail . Malviya sent a memorandum to the then Viceroy and Governor General of India Edward Fredrick Lindley Wood with the signatures of 78 Members of Central Legislature , which was also turned down . On 16 September 1927 , the final mercy appeal was forwarded to Privy Council at London and to the King Emperor through a famous lawyer of England S.L. Polak but the British Government , who had already decided to hang them , sent their final decision to the India office of Viceroy that all the four condemned prisoners were to be hanged till death by 19 December 1927 positively .

Originally intended as a patent medicine , it was invented in the late 19th century by John Pemberton and was bought out by businessman Asa Griggs Candler , whose marketing tactics led Coca - Cola to its dominance of the world soft - drink market throughout the 20th century . The drink 's name refers to two of its original ingredients : coca leaves , and kola nuts ( a source of caffeine ) . The current formula of Coca - Cola remains a trade secret , although a variety of reported recipes and experimental recreations have been published . The Coca - Cola Company produces concentrate , which is then sold to licensed Coca - Cola bottlers throughout the world . The bottlers , who hold exclusive territory contracts with the company , produce the finished product in cans and bottles from the concentrate , in combination with filtered water and sweeteners . A typical 12 - US - fluid - ounce ( 350 ml ) can contains 38 grams ( 1.3 oz ) of sugar ( usually in the form of high fructose corn syrup ) . The bottlers then sell , distribute , and merchandise Coca - Cola to retail stores , restaurants , and vending machines throughout the world . The Coca - Cola Company also sells concentrate for soda fountains of major restaurants and foodservice distributors . The Coca - Cola Company has on occasion introduced other cola drinks under the Coke name . The most common of these is Diet Coke , along with others including Caffeine - Free Coca - Cola , Diet Coke Caffeine - Free , Coca - Cola Zero Sugar , Coca - Cola Cherry , Coca - Cola Vanilla , and special versions with lemon , lime , and coffee . Based on Interbrand 's `` best global brand '' study of 2015 , Coca - Cola was the world 's third most valuable brand , after Apple and Google . In 2013 , Coke products were sold in over 200 countries worldwide , with consumers drinking more than 1.8 billion company beverage servings each day .

By 1913 , the company had redeemed 8.5 million tickets . This Coca - Cola advertisement from 1943 is still displayed in Minden , Louisiana . Early Coca - Cola vending machine at Biedenharn Museum and Gardens in Monroe , Louisiana Confederate Colonel John Pemberton , who was wounded in the American Civil War and became addicted to morphine , began a quest to find a substitute for the problematic drug . The prototype Coca - Cola recipe was formulated at Pemberton 's Eagle Drug and Chemical House , a drugstore in Columbus , Georgia , originally as a coca wine . He may have been inspired by the formidable success of Vin Mariani , a French - Corsican coca wine . It is also worth noting that a Spanish drink called `` Kola Coca '' was presented at a contest in Philadelphia in 1885 , a year before the official birth of Coca - Cola . The rights for this Spanish drink were bought by Coca - Cola in 1953 . In 1885 , Pemberton registered his French Wine Coca nerve tonic . In 1886 , when Atlanta and Fulton County passed prohibition legislation , Pemberton responded by developing Coca - Cola , a nonalcoholic version of French Wine Coca . The first sales were at Jacob 's Pharmacy in Atlanta , Georgia , on May 8 , 1886 . It was initially sold as a patent medicine for five cents a glass at soda fountains , which were popular in the United States at the time due to the belief that carbonated water was good for the health . Pemberton claimed Coca - Cola cured many diseases , including morphine addiction , indigestion , nerve disorders , headaches , and impotence . Pemberton ran the first advertisement for the beverage on May 29 of the same year in the Atlanta Journal . By 1888 , three versions of Coca - Cola -- sold by three separate businesses -- were on the market . A co-partnership had been formed on January 14 , 1888 between Pemberton and four Atlanta businessmen : J.C. Mayfield , A.O. Murphey , C.O. Mullahy , and E.H. Bloodworth . Not codified by any signed document , a verbal statement given by Asa Candler years later asserted under testimony that he had acquired a stake in Pemberton 's company as early as 1887 . John Pemberton declared that the name `` Coca - Cola '' belonged to his son , Charley , but the other two manufacturers could continue to use the formula . Charley Pemberton 's record of control over the `` Coca - Cola '' name was the underlying factor that allowed for him to participate as a major shareholder in the March 1888 Coca - Cola Company incorporation filing made in his father 's place . Charley 's exclusive control over the `` Coca - Cola '' name became a continual thorn in Asa Candler 's side . Candler 's oldest son , Charles Howard Candler , authored a book in 1950 published by Emory University . In this definitive biography about his father , Candler specifically states : `` ... , on April 14 , 1888 , the young druggist Asa Griggs Candler purchased a one - third interest in the formula of an almost completely unknown proprietary elixir known as Coca - Cola . '' Old German Coca - Cola bottle opener . The deal was actually between John Pemberton 's son Charley and Walker , Candler & Co. -- with John Pemberton acting as cosigner for his son . For $50 down and $500 in 30 days , Walker , Candler & Co. obtained all of the one - third interest in the Coca - Cola Company that Charley held , all while Charley still held on to the name . After the April 14 deal , on April 17 , 1888 , one - half of the Walker / Dozier interest shares were acquired by Candler for an additional $750 . The Coca - Cola Company In 1892 , Candler set out to incorporate a second company ; `` The Coca - Cola Company '' ( the current corporation ) . When Candler had the earliest records of the `` Coca - Cola Company '' burned in 1910 , the action was claimed to have been made during a move to new corporation offices around this time . After Candler had gained a better foothold on Coca - Cola in April 1888 , he nevertheless was forced to sell the beverage he produced with the recipe he had under the names `` Yum Yum '' and `` Koke '' . This was while Charley Pemberton was selling the elixir , although a cruder mixture , under the name `` Coca - Cola '' , all with his father 's blessing . After both names failed to catch on for Candler , by the middle of 1888 , the Atlanta pharmacist was quite anxious to establish a firmer legal claim to Coca - Cola , and hoped he could force his two competitors , Walker and Dozier , completely out of the business , as well . On August 16 , 1888 , Dr. John Stith Pemberton suddenly died ; Asa G. Candler then sought to move swiftly forward to attain his vision of taking full control of the whole Coca - Cola operation . Charley Pemberton , an alcoholic , was the one obstacle who unnerved Asa Candler more than anyone else . Candler is said to have quickly maneuvered to purchase the exclusive rights to the name `` Coca - Cola '' from Pemberton 's son Charley right after Dr. Pemberton 's death . One of several stories was that Candler bought the title to the name from Charley 's mother for $300 ; approaching her at Dr. Pemberton 's funeral . Eventually , Charley Pemberton was found on June 23 , 1894 , unconscious , with a stick of opium by his side . Ten days later , Charley died at Atlanta 's Grady Hospital at the age of 40 . In Charles Howard Candler 's 1950 book about his father , he stated : `` On August 30th ( 1888 ) , he ( Asa Candler ) became sole proprietor of Coca - Cola , a fact which was stated on letterheads , invoice blanks and advertising copy . '' With this action on August 30 , 1888 , Candler 's sole control became technically all true . Candler had negotiated with Margaret Dozier and her brother Woolfolk Walker a full payment amounting to $1,000 , which all agreed Candler could pay off with a series of notes over a specified time span . By May 1 , 1889 , Candler was now claiming full ownership of the Coca - Cola beverage , with a total investment outlay by Candler for the drink enterprise over the years amounting to $2,300 . In 1914 , Margaret Dozier , as co-owner of the original Coca - Cola Company in 1888 , came forward to claim that her signature on the 1888 Coca - Cola Company bill of sale had been forged . Subsequent analysis of certain similar transfer documents had also indicated John Pemberton 's signature was most likely a forgery , as well , which some accounts claim was precipitated by his son Charley . On September 12 , 1919 , Coca - Cola Co. was purchased by a group of investors for $25 million and reincorporated . The company publicly offered 500,000 shares of the company for $40 a share . In 1986 , The Coca - Cola Company merged with two of their bottling operators ( owned by JTL Corporation and BCI Holding Corporation ) to form Coca - Cola Enterprises Inc . ( CCE ) . In December 1991 , Coca - Cola Enterprises merged with the Johnston Coca - Cola Bottling Group , Inc . Origins of bottling Bottling plant of Coca - Cola Canada Ltd . January 8 , 1941 . Montreal , Canada . The first bottling of Coca - Cola occurred in Vicksburg , Mississippi , at the Biedenharn Candy Company in 1894 . The proprietor of the bottling works was Joseph A. Biedenharn . The original bottles were Hutchinson bottles , very different from the much later hobble - skirt design of 1915 now so familiar . It was then a few years later that two entrepreneurs from Chattanooga , Tennessee , namely Benjamin F. Thomas and Joseph B. Whitehead , proposed the idea of bottling and were so persuasive that Candler signed a contract giving them control of the procedure for only one dollar . Candler never collected his dollar , but in 1899 , Chattanooga became the site of the first Coca - Cola bottling company . Candler remained very content just selling his company 's syrup . The loosely termed contract proved to be problematic for The Coca - Cola Company for decades to come . Legal matters were not helped by the decision of the bottlers to subcontract to other companies , effectively becoming parent bottlers . This contract specified that bottles would be sold at 5 ¢ each and had no fixed duration , leading to the fixed price of Coca - Cola from 1886 to 1959 . 20th century The first outdoor wall advertisement that promoted the Coca - Cola drink was painted in 1894 in Cartersville , Georgia . Cola syrup was sold as an over-the - counter dietary supplement for upset stomach . By the time of its 50th anniversary , the soft drink had reached the status of a national icon in the USA . In 1935 , it was certified kosher by Atlanta Rabbi Tobias Geffen , after the company made minor changes in the sourcing of some ingredients . Original framed Coca - Cola artist 's drawn graphic presented by The Coca - Cola Company on July 12 , 1944 to Charles Howard Candler on the occasion of Coca - Cola 's `` 1 Billionth Gallon of Coca - Cola Syrup . '' Claimed to be the first installation anywhere of the 1948 model `` Boat Motor '' styled Coca - Cola soda dispenser , Fleeman 's Pharmacy , Atlanta , Georgia . The `` Boat Motor '' soda dispenser was introduced in the late 1930s and manufactured till the late 1950s . Photograph circa 1948 . The longest running commercial Coca - Cola soda fountain anywhere was Atlanta 's Fleeman 's Pharmacy , which first opened its doors in 1914 . Jack Fleeman took over the pharmacy from his father and ran it until 1995 ; closing it after 81 years . On July 12 , 1944 , the one - billionth gallon of Coca - Cola syrup was manufactured by The Coca - Cola Company . Cans of Coke first appeared in 1955 . New Coke Main article : New Coke The Las Vegas Strip World of Coca - Cola museum in 2003 On April 23 , 1985 , Coca - Cola , amid much publicity , attempted to change the formula of the drink with `` New Coke '' . Follow - up taste tests revealed most consumers preferred the taste of New Coke to both Coke and Pepsi but Coca - Cola management was unprepared for the public 's nostalgia for the old drink , leading to a backlash . The company gave in to protests and returned to a variation of the old formula using high fructose corn syrup instead of cane sugar as the main sweetener , under the name Coca - Cola Classic , on July 10 , 1985 . 21st century On July 5 , 2005 , it was revealed that Coca - Cola would resume operations in Iraq for the first time since the Arab League boycotted the company in 1968 . In April 2007 , in Canada , the name `` Coca - Cola Classic '' was changed back to `` Coca - Cola '' . The word `` Classic '' was removed because `` New Coke '' was no longer in production , eliminating the need to differentiate between the two . The formula remained unchanged . In January 2009 , Coca - Cola stopped printing the word `` Classic '' on the labels of 16 - US - fluid - ounce ( 470 ml ) bottles sold in parts of the southeastern United States . The change is part of a larger strategy to rejuvenate the product 's image . The word `` Classic '' was removed from all Coca - Cola products by 2011 . In November 2009 , due to a dispute over wholesale prices of Coca - Cola products , Costco stopped restocking its shelves with Coke and Diet Coke for two months ; a separate pouring rights deal in 2013 saw Coke products removed from Costco food courts in favor of Pepsi . Some Costco locations ( such as the ones in Tucson , Arizona ) additionally sell imported Coca - Cola from Mexico with cane sugar instead of corn syrup from separate distributors . Coca - Cola introduced the 7.5 - ounce mini-can in 2009 , and on September 22 , 2011 , the company announced price reductions , asking retailers to sell eight - packs for $2.99 . That same day , Coca - Cola announced the 12.5 - ounce bottle , to sell for 89 cents . A 16 - ounce bottle has sold well at 99 cents since being re-introduced , but the price was going up to $1.19 . In 2012 , Coca - Cola resumed business in Myanmar after 60 years of absence due to U.S. - imposed investment sanctions against the country . Coca - Cola 's bottling plant will be located in Yangon and is part of the company 's five - year plan and $200 million investment in Myanmar . Coca - Cola with its partners is to invest USD 5 billion in its operations in India by 2020 . In 2013 , it was announced that Coca - Cola Life would be introduced in Argentina that would contain stevia and sugar . Production Ingredients Carbonated water Sugar ( sucrose or high - fructose corn syrup ( HFCS ) depending on country of origin ) Caffeine Phosphoric acid Caramel color ( E150d ) Natural flavorings A typical can of Coca - Cola ( 12 fl ounces / 355 ml ) contains 38 grams of sugar ( usually in the form of HFCS ) , 50 mg of sodium , 0 grams fat , 0 grams potassium , and 140 calories . On May 5 , 2014 , Coca - Cola said it is working to remove a controversial ingredient , brominated vegetable oil , from all of its drinks . Formula of natural flavorings Main article : Coca - Cola formula The exact formula of Coca - Cola 's natural flavorings ( but not its other ingredients , which are listed on the side of the bottle or can ) is a trade secret . The original copy of the formula was held in SunTrust Bank 's main vault in Atlanta for 86 years . Its predecessor , the Trust Company , was the underwriter for the Coca - Cola Company 's initial public offering in 1919 . On December 8 , 2011 , the original secret formula was moved from the vault at SunTrust Banks to a new vault containing the formula which will be on display for visitors to its World of Coca - Cola museum in downtown Atlanta . Coca - Cola Museum in Atlanta , Georgia According to Snopes , a popular myth states that only two executives have access to the formula , with each executive having only half the formula . However , several sources state that while Coca - Cola does have a rule restricting access to only two executives , each knows the entire formula and others , in addition to the prescribed duo , have known the formulation process . On February 11 , 2011 , Ira Glass said on his PRI radio show , This American Life , that TAL staffers had found a recipe in `` Everett Beal 's Recipe Book '' , reproduced in the February 28 , 1979 , issue of The Atlanta Journal - Constitution , that they believed was either Pemberton 's original formula for Coca - Cola , or a version that he made either before or after the product hit the market in 1886 . The formula basically matched the one found in Pemberton 's diary . Coca - Cola archivist Phil Mooney acknowledged that the recipe `` could ... be a precursor '' to the formula used in the original 1886 product , but emphasized that Pemberton 's original formula is not the same as the one used in the current product . Use of stimulants in formula An early Coca - Cola advertisement . When launched , Coca - Cola 's two key ingredients were cocaine and caffeine . The cocaine was derived from the coca leaf and the caffeine from kola nut ( also spelled `` cola nut '' at the time ) , leading to the name Coca - Cola . Coca -- cocaine Pemberton called for five ounces of coca leaf per gallon of syrup ( approximately 37 g / L ) , a significant dose ; in 1891 , Candler claimed his formula ( altered extensively from Pemberton 's original ) contained only a tenth of this amount . Coca - Cola once contained an estimated nine milligrams of cocaine per glass . ( For comparison , a typical dose or `` line '' of cocaine is 50 -- 75 mg . ) In 1903 , it was removed . After 1904 , instead of using fresh leaves , Coca - Cola started using `` spent '' leaves -- the leftovers of the cocaine - extraction process with trace levels of cocaine . Since then , Coca - Cola uses a cocaine - free coca leaf extract prepared at a Stepan Company plant in Maywood , New Jersey . In the United States , the Stepan Company is the only manufacturing plant authorized by the Federal Government to import and process the coca plant , which it obtains mainly from Peru and , to a lesser extent , Bolivia . Besides producing the coca flavoring agent for Coca - Cola , the Stepan Company extracts cocaine from the coca leaves , which it sells to Mallinckrodt , a St. Louis , Missouri , pharmaceutical manufacturer that is the only company in the United States licensed to purify cocaine for medicinal use . Long after the syrup had ceased to contain any significant amount of cocaine , in the southeastern U.S. , `` dope '' remained a common colloquialism for Coca - Cola , and `` dope - wagons '' were trucks that transported it . The traditional shape of the bottle is said to resemble the seed - pod of the coca bush , memorializing the cocaine recipe . Kola nuts -- caffeine Kola nuts act as a flavoring and the source of caffeine in Coca - Cola . In Britain , for example , the ingredient label states `` Flavourings ( Including Caffeine ) . '' Kola nuts contain about 2.0 to 3.5 % caffeine , are of bitter flavor , and are commonly used in cola soft drinks . In 1911 , the U.S. government initiated United States v. Forty Barrels and Twenty Kegs of Coca - Cola , hoping to force Coca - Cola to remove caffeine from its formula . The case was decided in favor of Coca - Cola . Subsequently , in 1912 , the U.S. Pure Food and Drug Act was amended , adding caffeine to the list of `` habit - forming '' and `` deleterious '' substances which must be listed on a product 's label . Coca - Cola contains 34 mg of caffeine per 12 fluid ounces ( 9.8 mg per 100 ml ) . Franchised production model The actual production and distribution of Coca - Cola follows a franchising model . The Coca - Cola Company only produces a syrup concentrate , which it sells to bottlers throughout the world , who hold Coca - Cola franchises for one or more geographical areas . The bottlers produce the final drink by mixing the syrup with filtered water and sweeteners , and then carbonate it before putting it in cans and bottles , which the bottlers then sell and distribute to retail stores , vending machines , restaurants , and food service distributors . The Coca - Cola Company owns minority shares in some of its largest franchises , such as Coca - Cola Enterprises , Coca - Cola Amatil , Coca - Cola Hellenic Bottling Company , and Coca - Cola FEMSA , but fully independent bottlers produce almost half of the volume sold in the world . Independent bottlers are allowed to sweeten the drink according to local tastes . The bottling plant in Skopje , Macedonia , received the 2009 award for `` Best Bottling Company '' . Geographic spread Since it announced its intention to begin distribution in Myanmar in June 2012 , Coca - Cola has been officially available in every country in the world except Cuba and North Korea . However , it is reported to be available in both countries as a grey import . Coca - Cola has been a point of legal discussion in the Middle East . In the early 20th century , a fatwa was created in Egypt to discuss the question of `` whether Muslims were permitted to drink Coca - Cola and Pepsi cola . '' The fatwa states : `` According to the Muslim Hanefite , Shafi'ite , etc. , the rule in Islamic law of forbidding or allowing foods and beverages is based on the presumption that such things are permitted unless it can be shown that they are forbidden on the basis of the Qur'an . '' The Muslim jurists stated that , unless the Qu'ran specifically prohibits the consumption of a particular product , it is permissible to consume . Another clause was discussed , whereby the same rules apply if a person is unaware of the condition or ingredients of the item in question .

Logo design The Coca - Cola logo was created by John Pemberton 's bookkeeper , Frank Mason Robinson , in 1885 . Robinson came up with the name and chose the logo 's distinctive cursive script . The writing style used , known as Spencerian script , was developed in the mid-19th century and was the dominant form of formal handwriting in the United States during that period . Robinson also played a significant role in early Coca - Cola advertising . His promotional suggestions to Pemberton included giving away thousands of free drink coupons and plastering the city of Atlanta with publicity banners and streetcar signs . Contour bottle design `` Coke bottle '' redirects here . For the song , see Coke Bottle ( song ) . The Coca - Cola bottle , called the `` contour bottle '' within the company , was created by bottle designer Earl R. Dean and Coca - Cola 's general counsel , Harold Hirsch . In 1915 , The Coca - Cola Company was represented by their general counsel to launch a competition among its bottle suppliers as well as any competition entrants to create a new bottle for their beverage that would distinguish it from other beverage bottles , `` a bottle which a person could recognize even if they felt it in the dark , and so shaped that , even if broken , a person could tell at a glance what it was . '' Chapman J. Root , president of the Root Glass Company of Terre Haute , Indiana , turned the project over to members of his supervisory staff , including company auditor T. Clyde Edwards , plant superintendent Alexander Samuelsson , and Earl R. Dean , bottle designer and supervisor of the bottle molding room . Root and his subordinates decided to base the bottle 's design on one of the soda 's two ingredients , the coca leaf or the kola nut , but were unaware of what either ingredient looked like . Dean and Edwards went to the Emeline Fairbanks Memorial Library and were unable to find any information about coca or kola . Instead , Dean was inspired by a picture of the gourd - shaped cocoa pod in the Encyclopædia Britannica . Dean made a rough sketch of the pod and returned to the plant to show Root . He explained to Root how he could transform the shape of the pod into a bottle . Root gave Dean his approval . Faced with the upcoming scheduled maintenance of the mold - making machinery , over the next 24 hours Dean sketched out a concept drawing which was approved by Root the next morning . Dean then proceeded to create a bottle mold and produced a small number of bottles before the glass - molding machinery was turned off . Chapman Root approved the prototype bottle and a design patent was issued on the bottle in November 1915 . The prototype never made it to production since its middle diameter was larger than its base , making it unstable on conveyor belts . Dean resolved this issue by decreasing the bottle 's middle diameter . During the 1916 bottler 's convention , Dean 's contour bottle was chosen over other entries and was on the market the same year . By 1920 , the contour bottle became the standard for The Coca - Cola Company . A revised version was also patented in 1923 . Because the Patent Office releases the Patent Gazette on Tuesday , the bottle was patented on December 25 , 1923 , and was nicknamed the `` Christmas bottle . '' Today , the contour Coca - Cola bottle is one of the most recognized packages on the planet ... `` even in the dark ! '' . As a reward for his efforts , Dean was offered a choice between a $500 bonus or a lifetime job at the Root Glass Company . He chose the lifetime job and kept it until the Owens - Illinois Glass Company bought out the Root Glass Company in the mid-1930s . Dean went on to work in other Midwestern glass factories . One alternative depiction has Raymond Loewy as the inventor of the unique design , but , while Loewy did serve as a designer of Coke cans and bottles in later years , he was in the French Army the year the bottle was invented and did not emigrate to the United States until 1919 . Others have attributed inspiration for the design not to the cocoa pod , but to a Victorian hooped dress . In 1944 , Associate Justice Roger J.

Coca - Cola delivery truck of Argentina , with the slogan `` Drink Coca - Cola -- delicious , refreshing '' . Coca - Cola 's advertising has significantly affected American culture , and it is frequently credited with inventing the modern image of Santa Claus as an old man in a red - and - white suit . Although the company did start using the red - and - white Santa image in the 1930s , with its winter advertising campaigns illustrated by Haddon Sundblom , the motif was already common . Coca - Cola was not even the first soft drink company to use the modern image of Santa Claus in its advertising : White Rock Beverages used Santa in advertisements for its ginger ale in 1923 , after first using him to sell mineral water in 1915 . Before Santa Claus , Coca - Cola relied on images of smartly dressed young women to sell its beverages . Coca - Cola 's first such advertisement appeared in 1895 , featuring the young Bostonian actress Hilda Clark as its spokeswoman . 1941 saw the first use of the nickname `` Coke '' as an official trademark for the product , with a series of advertisements informing consumers that `` Coke means Coca - Cola '' . In 1971 , a song from a Coca - Cola commercial called `` I 'd Like to Teach the World to Sing '' , produced by Billy Davis , became a hit single . The typeface You 2 that was created for the `` Share a Coke '' campaign Coca - Cola sales booth on the Cape Verde island of Fogo in 2004 . Coke advertisement in Budapest , 2013 . Coke 's advertising is pervasive , as one of Woodruff 's stated goals was to ensure that everyone on Earth drank Coca - Cola as their preferred beverage . This is especially true in southern areas of the United States , such as Atlanta , where Coke was born . Some Coca - Cola television commercials between 1960 through 1986 were written and produced by former Atlanta radio veteran Don Naylor ( WGST 1936 -- 1950 , WAGA 1951 -- 1959 ) during his career as a producer for the McCann Erickson advertising agency . Many of these early television commercials for Coca - Cola featured movie stars , sports heroes , and popular singers . During the 1980s , Pepsi - Cola ran a series of television advertisements showing people participating in taste tests demonstrating that , according to the commercials , `` fifty percent of the participants who said they preferred Coke actually chose the Pepsi . '' Statisticians pointed out the problematic nature of a 50 / 50 result : most likely , the taste tests showed that in blind tests , most people can not tell the difference between Pepsi and Coke . Coca - Cola ran ads to combat Pepsi 's ads in an incident sometimes referred to as the cola wars ; one of Coke 's ads compared the so - called Pepsi challenge to two chimpanzees deciding which tennis ball was furrier . Thereafter , Coca - Cola regained its leadership in the market . Selena was a spokesperson for Coca - Cola from 1989 until the time of her death . She filmed three commercials for the company . During 1994 , to commemorate her five years with the company , Coca - Cola issued special Selena coke bottles . The Coca - Cola Company purchased Columbia Pictures in 1982 , and began inserting Coke - product images into many of its films . After a few early successes during Coca - Cola 's ownership , Columbia began to under - perform , and the studio was sold to Sony in 1989 . Coca - Cola has gone through a number of different advertising slogans in its long history , including `` The pause that refreshes '' , `` I 'd like to buy the world a Coke '' , and `` Coke is it '' . In 2006 , Coca - Cola introduced My Coke Rewards , a customer loyalty campaign where consumers earn points by entering codes from specially marked packages of Coca - Cola products into a website . These points can be redeemed for various prizes or sweepstakes entries . In Australia in 2011 , Coca - Cola began the `` share a Coke '' campaign , where the Coca - Cola logo was replaced on the bottles and replaced with first names . Coca - Cola used the 150 most popular names in Australia to print on the bottles . The campaign was paired with a website page , Facebook page , and an online `` share a virtual Coke '' . The same campaign was introduced to Coca - Cola , Diet Coke & Coke Zero bottles and cans in the UK in 2013 . Coca - Cola has also advertised its product to be consumed as a breakfast beverage , instead of coffee or tea for the morning caffeine . 5 cents Main article : The fixed price of Coca - Cola from 1886 to 1959 From 1886 to 1959 , the price of Coca - Cola was fixed at five cents , in part due to an advertising campaign . Holiday campaigns Throughout the years , Coca - Cola has released limited time collector bottles for Christmas . A Freightliner Coca - Cola Christmas truck in Dresden , Germany , 2004 . The `` Holidays are coming ! '' advertisement features a train of red delivery trucks , emblazoned with the Coca - Cola name and decorated with Christmas lights , driving through a snowy landscape and causing everything that they pass to light up and people to watch as they pass through . The advertisement fell into disuse in 2001 , as the Coca - Cola company restructured its advertising campaigns so that advertising around the world was produced locally in each country , rather than centrally in the company 's headquarters in Atlanta , Georgia . In 2007 , the company brought back the campaign after , according to the company , many consumers telephoned its information center saying that they considered it to mark the beginning of Christmas . The advertisement was created by U.S. advertising agency Doner , and has been part of the company 's global advertising campaign for many years . Keith Law , a producer and writer of commercials for Belfast CityBeat , was not convinced by Coca - Cola 's reintroduction of the advertisement in 2007 , saying that `` I do n't think there 's anything Christmassy about HGVs and the commercial is too generic . '' In 2001 , singer Melanie Thornton recorded the campaign 's advertising jingle as a single , Wonderful Dream ( Holidays are Coming ) , which entered the pop - music charts in Germany at no . 9 . In 2005 , Coca - Cola expanded the advertising campaign to radio , employing several variations of the jingle . In 2011 , Coca - Cola launched a campaign for the Indian holiday Diwali . The campaign included commercials , a song , and an integration with Shah Rukh Khan 's film Ra. One . Sports sponsorship Coca - Cola was the first commercial sponsor of the Olympic games , at the 1928 games in Amsterdam , and has been an Olympics sponsor ever since . This corporate sponsorship included the 1996 Summer Olympics hosted in Atlanta , which allowed Coca - Cola to spotlight its hometown . Most recently , Coca - Cola has released localized commercials for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver ; one Canadian commercial referred to Canada 's hockey heritage and was modified after Canada won the gold medal game on February 28 , 2010 by changing the ending line of the commercial to say `` Now they know whose game they 're playing '' . Since 1978 , Coca - Cola has sponsored the FIFA World Cup , and other competitions organized by FIFA . One FIFA tournament trophy , the FIFA World Youth Championship from Tunisia in 1977 to Malaysia in 1997 , was called `` FIFA -- Coca - Cola Cup '' . In addition , Coca - Cola sponsors the annual Coca - Cola 600 and Coke Zero 400 for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord , North Carolina and Daytona International Speedway in Daytona , Florida . Coca - Cola has a long history of sports marketing relationships , which over the years have included Major League Baseball , the National Football League , the National Basketball Association , and the National Hockey League , as well as with many teams within those leagues . Coca - Cola has had a longtime relationship with the NFL 's Pittsburgh Steelers , due in part to the now - famous 1979 television commercial featuring `` Mean Joe '' Greene , leading to the two opening the Coca - Cola Great Hall at Heinz Field in 2001 and a more recent Coca - Cola Zero commercial featuring Troy Polamalu . Coca - Cola is the official soft drink of many collegiate football teams throughout the nation , partly due to Coca - Cola providing those schools with upgraded athletic facilities in exchange for Coca - Cola 's sponsorship . This is especially prevalent at the high school level , which is more dependent on such contracts due to tighter budgets . Coca - Cola was one of the official sponsors of the 1996 Cricket World Cup held on the Indian subcontinent . Coca - Cola is also one of the associate sponsors of Delhi Daredevils in the Indian Premier League . In England , Coca - Cola was the main sponsor of The Football League between 2004 and 2010 , a name given to the three professional divisions below the Premier League in soccer ( football ) . In 2005 , Coca - Cola launched a competition for the 72 clubs of The Football League -- it was called `` Win a Player '' . This allowed fans to place one vote per day for their favorite club , with one entry being chosen at random earning £ 250,000 for the club ; this was repeated in 2006 . The `` Win A Player '' competition was very controversial , as at the end of the 2 competitions , Leeds United A.F.C. had the most votes by more than double , yet they did not win any money to spend on a new player for the club . In 2007 , the competition changed to `` Buy a Player '' . This competition allowed fans to buy a bottle of Coca - Cola or Coca - Cola Zero and submit the code on the wrapper on the Coca - Cola website . This code could then earn anything from 50p to £ 100,000 for a club of their choice . This competition was favored over the old `` Win a Player '' competition , as it allowed all clubs to win some money . Between 1992 and 1998 , Coca - Cola was the title sponsor of the Football League Cup ( Coca - Cola Cup ) , the secondary cup tournament of England . Between 1994 and 1997 , Coca - Cola was also the title sponsor of the Scottish League Cup , renaming it the Coca - Cola Cup like its English counterpart . From 1998 to 2001 , the company were the title sponsor of the Irish League Cup in Northern Ireland , where it was named the Coca - Cola League Cup . Coca - Cola is the presenting sponsor of the Tour Championship , the final event of the PGA Tour held each year at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta , GA . Introduced March 1 , 2010 , in Canada , to celebrate the 2010 Winter Olympics , Coca - Cola sold gold colored cans in packs of 12 355 mL ( 12 imp fl oz ; 12 US fl oz ) each , in select stores . In mass Media Coca - Cola vending machine . Coca - Cola advertised on a Volkswagen T2 in Maringá , Paraná , Brazil , 2012 . Coca - Cola has been prominently featured in many films and television programs . It was a major plot element in films such as One , Two , Three , The Coca - Cola Kid , and The Gods Must Be Crazy , among many others . In music , in the Beatles ' song , `` Come Together '' , the lyrics say , `` He shoot Coca - Cola '' , he say ... The Beach Boys also referenced Coca - Cola in their 1964 song `` All Summer Long '' ( i.e. Member when you spilled Coke all over your blouse ? ) The best selling artist of all time Elvis Presley , promoted Coca - Cola during his last tour of 1977 . The Coca - Cola Company used Elvis ' image to promote the product . For example , the company used a song performed by Presley , A Little Less Conversation , in a Japanese Coca - Cola commercial . Other artists that promoted Coca - Cola include David Bowie , George Michael , Elton John , and Whitney Houston , who appeared in the Diet Coca - Cola commercial , among many others . Not all musical references to Coca - Cola went well . A line in `` Lola '' by the Kinks was originally recorded as `` You drink champagne and it tastes just like Coca - Cola . '' When the British Broadcasting Corporation refused to play the song because of the commercial reference , lead singer Ray Davies re-recorded the lyric as `` it tastes just like cherry cola '' to get airplay for the song . Political cartoonist Michel Kichka satirized a famous Coca - Cola billboard in his 1982 poster `` And I Love New York . '' On the billboard , the Coca - Cola wave is accompanied by the words `` Enjoy Coke . '' In Kichka 's poster , the lettering and script above the Coca - Cola wave instead read `` Enjoy Cocaine . '' Medicinal application Coca - Cola is sometimes used for the treatment of gastric phytobezoars . In about 50 % of cases studied , Coca - Cola alone was found to be effective in gastric phytobezoar dissolution . Unfortunately , this treatment can result in the potential of developing small bowel obstruction in a minority of cases , necessitating surgical intervention . Criticism Main article : Criticism of Coca - Cola Criticism of Coca - Cola has arisen from various groups , concerning a variety of issues , including health effects , environmental issues , and business practices . The drink 's coca flavoring , and the nickname `` Coke '' , remain a common theme of criticism due to the relationship with the illegal drug cocaine . In 1911 , the US government seized 40 barrels and 20 kegs of Coca - Cola syrup in Chattanooga , Tennessee , alleging the caffeine in its drink was `` injurious to health '' , leading to amended food safety legislation . The Coca - Cola Company , its subsidiaries and products have been subject to sustained criticism by both consumer groups , leftist activists , and watchdogs , particularly since the early 2000s . Coca - Cola is rich in sugar , especially sucrose , which causes dental caries when consumed regularly . Besides this , the high caloric value contributes to obesity . Both are major health issues in the developed world . Colombian death - squad allegations In July 2001 , the Coca - Cola company was sued over its alleged use of political far - right wing death squads ( the United Self - Defense Forces of Colombia ) to kidnap , torture , and kill Colombian bottler workers that were linked with trade union activity . Coca - Cola was sued in a US federal court in Miami by the Colombian food and drink union Sinaltrainal . The suit alleged that Coca - Cola was indirectly responsible for having `` contracted with or otherwise directed paramilitary security forces that utilized extreme violence and murdered , tortured , unlawfully detained or otherwise silenced trade union leaders '' . This sparked campaigns to boycott Coca - Cola in the UK , US , Germany , Italy , and Australia . Javier Correa , the president of Sinaltrainal , said the campaign aimed to put pressure on Coca - Cola `` to mitigate the pain and suffering '' that union members had suffered . Speaking from the Coca - Cola company 's headquarters in Atlanta , company spokesperson Rafael Fernandez Quiros said `` Coca - Cola denies any connection to any human - rights violation of this type '' and added `` We do not own or operate the plants '' . A documentary on the controversy , titled The Coca - Cola Case , was released in 2010 . Use as political and corporate symbol As sold in China Astronauts served Coca - Cola from this device on the Space Shuttle in 1995 . Coca - Cola has a high degree of identification with the United States , being considered by some an `` American Brand '' or as an item representing America . During World War II , this gave rise to brief production of the White Coke as a neutral brand . The drink is also often a metonym for the Coca - Cola Company . Coca - Cola was introduced to China in 1927 , and was very popular until 1949 . After the Chinese Civil War ended in 1949 , the beverage was no longer imported into China , as it was perceived to be a symbol of decadent Western culture and the capitalist lifestyle . Importation and sales of the beverage resumed in 1979 , after diplomatic relations between the United States and China were restored . There are some consumer boycotts of Coca - Cola in Arab countries due to Coke 's early investment in Israel during the Arab League boycott of Israel ( its competitor Pepsi stayed out of Israel ) . Mecca Cola and Pepsi have been successful alternatives in the Middle East . A Coca - Cola fountain dispenser ( officially a Fluids Generic Bioprocessing Apparatus or FGBA ) was developed for use on the Space Shuttle as a test bed to determine if carbonated beverages can be produced from separately stored carbon dioxide , water , and flavored syrups and determine if the resulting fluids can be made available for consumption without bubble nucleation and resulting foam formation . FGBA - 1 flew on STS - 63 in 1995 and dispensed pre-mixed beverages , followed by FGBA - 2 on STS - 77 the next year . The latter mixed CO2 , water , and syrup to make beverages . It supplied 1.65 liters each of Coca - Cola and Diet Coke .

The film is a British , Swiss , Panamanian and American joint venture , produced by Warner Bros. , Film Export A.G. , Dovemead Limited and International Film Productions . Superman features an ensemble cast of Marlon Brando , Gene Hackman , Christopher Reeve , Jeff East , Margot Kidder , Glenn Ford , Phyllis Thaxter , Jackie Cooper , Trevor Howard , Marc McClure , Terence Stamp , Valerie Perrine , Ned Beatty , Jack O'Halloran , Maria Schell , and Sarah Douglas . The film depicts Superman 's origin , including his infancy as Kal - El of Krypton and his youthful years in the rural town of Smallville . Disguised as reporter Clark Kent , he adopts a mild - mannered disposition in Metropolis and develops a romance with Lois Lane , while battling the villainous Lex Luthor . Several directors , most notably Guy Hamilton , and screenwriters ( Mario Puzo , David and Leslie Newman , and Robert Benton ) , were associated with the project before Richard Donner was hired to direct . Tom Mankiewicz was drafted in to rewrite the script and was given a `` creative consultant '' credit . It was decided to film both Superman and its sequel Superman II ( 1980 ) simultaneously , with principal photography beginning in March 1977 and ending in October 1978 . Tensions arose between Donner and the producers , and a decision was made to stop filming the sequel , of which 75 percent had already been completed , and finish the first film . The most expensive film made up to that point with a budget of $55 million , Superman was released in December 1978 to critical and financial success ; its worldwide box - office earnings of $300 million made it the second - highest - grossing release of the year . Reviewers particularly praised Reeve 's performance . It was nominated for three Academy Awards , including Best Film Editing , Best Music ( Original Score ) , and Best Sound Mixing , and received a Special Achievement Academy Award for Visual Effects . Groundbreaking in its use of special effects and science fiction / fantasy storytelling , the film 's legacy presaged the mainstream popularity of Hollywood 's superhero film franchises .

For this , Zod swears revenge on Jor - El and his family . Jor - El , despite his eminence , is unable to convince the Council that Krypton will soon be destroyed when its red supergiant sun goes supernova . To save his infant son , Kal - El , Jor - El launches him in a spaceship to Earth , a planet with a suitable atmosphere where Kal - El 's dense molecular structure will give him superhuman powers . Shortly after the launch , Krypton 's sun explodes , destroying the planet . The ship crash lands on Earth near Smallville , Kansas . Kal - El , who is now three years old , is found by Jonathan and Martha Kent , who are astonished when he lifts their truck . They take him to their farm and raise him as their own , naming him Clark after Martha 's maiden name . At 18 , soon after Jonathan 's death from a heart attack , Clark hears a psychic `` call '' and discovers a glowing crystal in the remains of his spacecraft . It compels him to travel to the Arctic , where it builds the Fortress of Solitude . Inside , a hologram of Jor - El explains Clark 's origins , and after 12 further years of educating him on his powers and responsibilities , he leaves the Fortress wearing a blue and red suit with the House of El family crest on his chest and becomes a reporter at the Daily Planet in Metropolis . He meets and develops an unrequited romantic attraction to co-worker Lois Lane . Lois becomes involved in a helicopter accident where conventional means of rescue are impossible , requiring Clark to use his powers in public for the first time to save her , and goes on to thwart a jewel thief attempting to scale a building using suction cups , captures robbers fleeing police on the river by depositing their boat at the police station , rescues a girl 's cat from a tree in her neighborhood , and saves Air Force One after a lightning strike destroys the port outboard engine , making the `` caped wonder '' an instant celebrity . He visits Lois at her home the next night and takes her for a flight over the city , allowing her to interview him for an article in which she names him `` Superman '' . Meanwhile , criminal genius Lex Luthor plans to make a fortune in real estate by buying large amounts of barren desert land , then using a nuclear explosion on a weak point in the San Andreas Fault , sinking California and leaving Luthor 's desert as the new West Coast , greatly increasing its value . Upon learning the U.S Army and U.S. Navy will launch a twin nuclear missile test , he diverts one missile to the weak spot , after his incompetent henchman Otis accidentally redirects the first missile to the wrong place . Knowing Superman could stop his plan , Luthor lures him to an underground lair , reveals his plan and exposes him to Kryptonite . As Superman weakens , Luthor further taunts him by revealing the first missile is headed toward Hackensack , New Jersey , as even Superman can not stop both impacts . Eve Teschmacher , Luthor 's accomplice , is horrified because her mother lives in Hackensack , but Luthor does not care and leaves Superman to a slow death . Knowing his reputation for keeping his word , Teschmacher rescues Superman on the condition he will deal with the New Jersey missile first . After Superman diverts the missile into outer space , the other one explodes near the San Andreas Fault . He mitigates the effects of the explosion , getting rid of the fallout and shoring up the crumbling Earth , but the aftershocks damage the Golden Gate Bridge and cause the Hollywood Sign and the Hoover Dam to collapse , endangering lives . While Superman is busy saving others , Lois 's car ends up falling into a crevice that opens from one of the aftershocks . It fills with dirt and debris and she suffocates to death . Angered at being unable to save her , Superman defies Jor - El 's earlier warning not to manipulate human history , preferring to heed Jonathan 's advice that he must be here for `` a reason '' . He accelerates around Earth , rewinding time , to save Lois . After bringing Luthor and Otis to prison , he flies into the sunrise for further adventures . Cast ( edit ) Marlon Brando as Jor - El : Superman 's biological father on Krypton . He has a theory about the planet exploding , yet the Council refuses to listen . He dies as the planet explodes but successfully sends his infant son to Earth as a means to help the innocent . Brando sued the Salkinds and Warner Bros. for $50 million because he felt cheated out of his share of the box office profits . This stopped Brando 's footage from being used in Richard Lester 's version of Superman II . Gene Hackman as Lex Luthor : A scientific genius and businessman who is Superman 's nemesis . It is he who discovers Superman 's weakness and hatches a plan that puts millions of people in danger . Christopher Reeve as Clark Kent / Superman : Born on Krypton as Kal - El and raised on Earth , he is a being of immense power , strength and invulnerability who , after realizing his destiny to serve mankind , uses his powers to protect and save others . As a means to protect his identity , he works in Metropolis at the Daily Planet as mild - mannered newspaper reporter Clark Kent and changes his clothes into a red - blue red caped suit with an S shield on its chest and known for his dubbing as `` Superman '' by Lois . Reeve was picked from over 200 actors who auditioned for the role . Jeff East as the teenage Clark Kent : As a teenager , he is forced to hide his superhuman abilities , making him unpopular among his classmates and frustrating his efforts to gain the attention of classmate Lana Lang ( Diane Sherry ) . Following the death of his adoptive father , he travels to the Arctic to discover his Kryptonian heritage . East 's dialogue in the film is redubbed by Christopher Reeve for the final cut . Ned Beatty as Otis : Lex Luthor 's bumbling henchman . Jackie Cooper as Perry White : Clark Kent 's hot - tempered boss at the Daily Planet . He assigns Lois to uncover the news of an unknown businessman purchasing a large amount of property in California . Keenan Wynn was originally cast , but dropped out shortly before filming because of heart disease . Cooper , who originally auditioned for Otis , was subsequently cast . Glenn Ford as Jonathan Kent : Clark Kent 's adoptive father in Smallville during his youth . He is a farmer who teaches Clark skills that will help him in the future . He later suffers a fatal heart attack that changes Clark 's outlook on his duty to others . Trevor Howard as the First Elder : Head of the Kryptonian Council , who does not believe Jor - El 's claim that Krypton is doomed . He threatens Jor - El , `` Any attempt by you to create a climate of fear and panic amongst the populace must be deemed by us an act of insurrection . '' Margot Kidder as Lois Lane : A reporter at the Daily Planet , who becomes a romantic interest to Clark Kent . The producers and director had a very specific concept for Lois : liberated , hard - nosed , witty and attractive . Kidder was cast because her performance had a certain spark and vitality , and because of her strong interaction with Christopher Reeve . Over 100 actresses were considered for the role . Margot Kidder ( suggested by Stalmaster ) , Anne Archer , Susan Blakely , Lesley Ann Warren , Deborah Raffin and Stockard Channing screen tested from March through May 1977 . The final decision was between Channing and Kidder , with the latter winning the role . Jack O'Halloran as Non : Large and mute , the third of the Kryptonian villains who are sentenced to be isolated in the Phantom Zone . Valerie Perrine as Eve Teschmacher : Lex Luthor 's girlfriend and accomplice . Already cynical of his increasing grandiosity and disturbed by his cruelty , she saves Superman 's life after learning that Luthor has launched a nuclear missile toward her mother 's hometown of Hackensack , New Jersey . She shows a romantic interest in Superman , implied by her fixing her hair before she makes her presence known to him , and then by kissing him before she saves his life . Maria Schell as Vond - Ah : Like Jor - El , a top Kryptonian scientist ; but she too is not swayed by Jor - El 's theories . Terence Stamp as General Zod : Evil leader of the three Kryptonian criminals who swears vengeance against Jor - El when he is sentenced to the Phantom Zone . Phyllis Thaxter as Martha Kent ( née Clark ) : Clark Kent 's faithful adoptive mother . A kindly woman who dotes on her adoptive son and is fiercely devoted to her husband , Jonathan . She is her son 's emotional support after Clark is devastated by Jonathan 's death . Thaxter was producer Ilya Salkind 's mother - in - law . Susannah York as Lara : Superman 's biological mother on Krypton . She , after learning of Krypton 's fate , has apprehensions about sending her infant son to a strange planet alone . Marc McClure as Jimmy Olsen : A teenage photographer at the Daily Planet . Jeff East , who portrayed the teenage Clark Kent , originally auditioned for this role , but outranked following his portrayal of the teen Clark . Sarah Douglas as Ursa : General Zod 's second in command and consort , sentenced to the Phantom Zone for her unethical scientific experiments . Harry Andrews as the Second Elder : Council member , who urges Jor - El to be reasonable about plans to save Krypton . Kirk Alyn and Noel Neill have cameo appearances as Lois Lane 's father and mother in a deleted scene that was restored in later home media releases . Alyn and Neill portrayed Superman and Lois Lane in the film serials Superman ( 1948 ) and Atom Man vs. Superman ( 1950 ) , and were the first actors to portray the characters onscreen in a live - action format . Neill reprised her role in the 1950s Adventures of Superman TV series , and also appeared as Lex Luthor 's elderly wife in the opening scene of the film Superman Returns ( 2006 ) . Larry Hagman and Rex Reed also make cameos ; Hagman plays an army major in charge of a convoy that is transporting one of the missiles , and Reed plays himself as he meets Lois and Clark outside the Daily Planet headquarters . Production ( edit ) Development ( edit ) Ilya Salkind had first conceived the idea for a Superman film in late 1973 . In November 1974 , after a long , difficult process with DC Comics , the Superman film rights were purchased by Ilya , his father Alexander Salkind , and their partner Pierre Spengler . DC wanted a list of actors that were to be considered for Superman , and approved the producer 's choices of Muhammad Ali , Al Pacino , James Caan , Steve McQueen , Clint Eastwood and Dustin Hoffman . The filmmakers felt it was best to film Superman and Superman II back - to - back , simultaneously , and to make a negative pickup deal with Warner Bros. William Goldman was approached to write the screenplay , while Leigh Brackett was considered . Ilya hired Alfred Bester , who began writing a film treatment . Alexander felt , however , that Bester was not famous enough , so he hired Mario Puzo ( The Godfather ) to write the screenplay at a $600,000 salary . Francis Ford Coppola , William Friedkin , Richard Lester , Peter Yates , John Guillermin , Ronald Neame and Sam Peckinpah were in negotiations to direct . Peckinpah dropped out when he produced a gun during a meeting with Ilya . George Lucas turned down the offer because of his commitment to Star Wars . Ilya wanted to hire Steven Spielberg to direct , but Alexander was skeptical , feeling it was best to `` wait until ( Spielberg 's ) big fish opens . '' Jaws was very successful , prompting the producers to offer Spielberg the position , but by then Spielberg had already committed to Close Encounters of the Third Kind . Guy Hamilton was hired as director , while Puzo delivered his 500 - page script for Superman and Superman II in July 1975 . Jax - Ur appeared as one of General Zod 's henchmen , with Clark Kent written as a television reporter . Dustin Hoffman , who was previously considered for Superman , turned down Lex Luthor . In early 1975 , Brando signed on as Jor - El with a salary of $3.7 million and 11.75 % of the box office gross profits , totaling $19 million . He horrified Salkind by proposing in their first meeting that Jor - El appear as a green suitcase or a bagel with Brando 's voice , but Donner used flattery to persuade the actor to portray Jor - El himself . Brando hoped to use some of his salary for a proposed 13 - part Roots - style miniseries on Native Americans in the United States . Brando had it in his contract to complete all of his scenes in 12 days . He also refused to memorize his dialogue , so cue cards were compiled across the set . Fellow Oscar winner Hackman was cast as Lex Luthor days later . The filmmakers made it a priority to shoot all of Brando 's and Hackman 's footage `` because they would be committed to other films immediately . '' Though the Salkinds felt that Puzo had written a solid story for the two - part film , they deemed his scripts too long and so hired Robert Benton and David Newman for rewrite work . Benton became too busy directing The Late Show , so David 's wife Leslie was brought in to help her husband finish writing duties . George MacDonald Fraser was later hired to do some work on the script , but he says he did little . Their script was submitted in July 1976 , and carried a camp tone , including a cameo appearance by Telly Savalas as his Kojak character . The scripts for Superman and Superman II were now at over 400 pages combined . Pre-production started at Cinecittà Studios in Rome , with sets starting construction and flying tests being unsuccessfully experimented . `` In Italy , '' producer Ilya Salkind remembered , `` we lost about $2 million ( on flying tests ) . '' Marlon Brando found out he could not film in Italy because of a warrant out for his arrest : a sexual - obscenity charge from Last Tango in Paris . Production moved to England in late 1976 , but Hamilton could not join because he was a tax exile . Mark Robson was strongly considered and was in talks to direct , but after seeing The Omen , the producers hired Richard Donner . Donner had previously been planning Damien : Omen II when he was hired in January 1977 for $1 million to direct Superman and Superman II . Donner felt it was best to start from scratch . `` They had prepared the picture for a year and not one bit was useful to me . '' Donner was dissatisfied with the campy script and brought in Tom Mankiewicz to perform a rewrite . According to Mankiewicz `` not a word from the Puzo script was used . '' `` It was a well - written , but still a ridiculous script . It was 550 pages . I said , ' You ca n't shoot this screenplay because you 'll be shooting for five years ' , '' Donner continued . `` That was literally a shooting script and they planned to shoot all 550 pages . You know , 110 pages is plenty for a script , so even for two features , that was way too much . '' Mankiewicz conceived having each Kryptonian family wear a crest resembling a different letter , justifying the ' S ' on Superman 's costume . The Writers Guild of America refused to credit Mankiewicz for his rewrites , so Donner gave him a creative consultant credit , much to the annoyance of the Guild . Casting of Superman ( edit ) It was initially decided to first sign an A-list actor for Superman before Richard Donner was hired as director . Robert Redford was offered a large sum , but felt he was too famous . Burt Reynolds also turned down the role , while Sylvester Stallone was interested , but nothing ever came of it . Paul Newman was offered his choice of roles as Superman , Lex Luthor or Jor - El for $4 million , turning down all three roles . When it was next decided to cast an unknown actor , casting director Lynn Stalmaster first suggested Christopher Reeve , but Donner and the producers felt he was too young and skinny . Over 200 unknown actors auditioned for Superman . Olympic champion Bruce Jenner had auditioned for the title role . Patrick Wayne was cast , but dropped out when his father John Wayne was diagnosed with stomach cancer . Both Neil Diamond and Arnold Schwarzenegger lobbied hard for the role , but were ignored . James Caan , James Brolin , Lyle Waggoner , Christopher Walken , Nick Nolte , Jon Voight , and Perry King were approached . Kris Kristofferson and Charles Bronson were also considered for the title role . James Caan said he was offered the part but turned it down . `` I just could n't wear that suit . '' `` We found guys with fabulous physique who could n't act or wonderful actors who did not look remotely like Superman , '' creative consultant Tom Mankiewicz remembered . The search became so desperate that producer Ilya Salkind 's wife 's dentist was screen tested . Stalmaster convinced Donner and Ilya to have Reeve screen test in February 1977 . Reeve stunned the director and producers , but he was told to wear a `` muscle suit '' to produce the desired muscular physique . Reeve refused , undertaking a strict physical exercise regime headed by David Prowse . Prowse had wanted to portray Superman , but was denied an audition by the filmmakers because he was not American . Prowse also auditioned for Non . Reeve went from 188 to 212 pounds during pre-production and filming . Reeve was paid a mere $250,000 for both Superman and Superman II , while his veteran co-stars received huge sums of money : $3.7 million for Brando and $2 million for Hackman for Superman I . However , Reeve felt , `` ' Superman ' brought me many opportunities , rather than closing a door in my face . '' Jeff East portrays teenage Clark Kent . East 's lines were overdubbed by Reeve during post-production . `` I was not happy about it because the producers never told me what they had in mind , '' East commented . `` It was done without my permission but it turned out to be okay . Chris did a good job but it caused tension between us . We resolved our issues with each other years later . '' East also tore several thigh muscles when performing the stunt of racing alongside the train . He applied 3 to 4 hours of prosthetic makeup daily to facially resemble Reeve . Filming ( edit ) Principal photography began on March 28 , 1977 at Pinewood Studios for Krypton scenes , budgeted as the most expensive film ever made at that point . Since Superman was being shot simultaneously with Superman II , filming lasted 19 months , until October 1978 . Filming was originally scheduled to last between seven and eight months , but problems arose during production . John Barry served as production designer , while Stuart Craig and Norman Reynolds worked as art directors . Derek Meddings and Les Bowie were credited as visual effects supervisors . Stuart Freeborn was the make - up artist , while Barry , David Tomblin , John Glen , David Lane , Robert Lynn and an uncredited Peter Duffell and André de Toth directed second unit scenes . Vic Armstrong was hired as the stunt coordinator and Reeve 's stunt double ; his wife Wendy Leech was Kidder 's double . Superman was also the final complete film by cinematographer Geoffrey Unsworth , who died during post-production while working on Tess for director Roman Polanski . The Fortress of Solitude was constructed at Shepperton Studios and at Pinewood 's 007 Stage . Upon viewing the footage of Krypton , Warner Bros. decided to distribute in not only North America , but also in foreign countries . Due to complications and problems during filming , Warner Bros. also supplied $20 million and acquired television rights . New York City doubled for Metropolis , while the New York Daily News Building served as the location for the offices of the Daily Planet . Brooklyn Heights was also used . Filming in New York lasted five weeks , during the time of the New York City blackout of 1977 . Production moved to Alberta for scenes set in Smallville , with the cemetery scene filmed in the canyon of Beynon , Alberta , the high school football scenes at Barons , Alberta , and the Kent farm constructed at Blackie , Alberta . Brief filming also took place in Gallup , New Mexico , Lake Mead and Grand Central Terminal . Director Donner had tensions with the Salkinds and Spengler concerning the escalating production budget and the shooting schedule . Creative consultant Tom Mankiewicz reflected , `` Donner never got a budget or a schedule . He was constantly told he was way over schedule and budget . At one point he said , ' Why do n't you just schedule the film for the next two days , and then I 'll be nine months over ? ' . '' Richard Lester , who worked with the Salkinds on The Three Musketeers and The Four Musketeers , was then brought in as a temporary co-producer to mediate the relationship between Donner and the Salkinds , who by now were refusing to talk to each other . With his relationship with Spengler , Donner remarked , `` At one time if I 'd seen him , I would have killed him . '' Lester was offered producing credit but refused , going uncredited for his work . Salkind felt that bringing a second director onto the set meant there would be someone ready in the event that Donner could not fulfill his directing duties . `` Being there all the time meant he ( Lester ) could take over , '' Salkind admitted . `` ( Donner ) could n't make up his mind on stuff . '' On Lester , Donner reflected , `` He 'd been suing the Salkinds for his money on Three and Four Musketeers , which he 'd never gotten . He won a lot of his lawsuits , but each time he sued the Salkinds in one country , they 'd move to another , from Costa Rica to Panama to Switzerland . When I was hired , Lester told me , ' Do n't do it . Do n't work for them . I was told not to , but I did it . Now I 'm telling you not to , but you 'll probably do it and end up telling the next guy . ' Lester came in as a ' go - between ' . I did n't trust Lester , and I told him . He said , ' Believe me , I 'm only doing it because they 're paying me the money that they owe me from the lawsuit . I 'll never come onto your set unless you ask me ; I 'll never go to your dailies . If I can help you in any way , call me . '' It was decided to stop shooting Superman II and focus on finishing Superman . Donner had already completed 75 % of the sequel . The filmmakers took a risk : if Superman was a box office bomb , they would not finish Superman II . The original climax for Superman II had General Zod , Ursa , and Non destroying the planet , with Superman time traveling to fix the damage . Donner commented , `` I decided if Superman is a success , they 're going to do a sequel . If it ai n't a success , a cliffhanger ai n't gon na bring them to see Superman II . '' Effects ( edit ) Publicity still emulating screen shot in which Superman ( Christopher Reeve ) , with his traditional suit , flies toward the sky , with Metropolis underneath him . Actual screen shot for comparison . Suit has greenish hue , for use with blue - screen effects . Superman is well known for its large - scale visual effects sequences , all of which were created before the digital age . The Golden Gate Bridge scale model stood 70 feet long and 20 feet wide . Other miniatures included the Krypton Council Dome and the Hoover Dam . Slow motion was used to simulate the vast amount of water for the Hoover Dam destruction . The Fortress of Solitude was a combination of a full - scale set and matte paintings . Young Clark Kent 's long - distance football punt was executed with a wooden football loaded into an air blaster placed in the ground . The Superman costume was to be a much darker blue , but the use of blue screen made it transparent . The first test for the flying sequences involved simply catapulting a crash test dummy out of a cannon . Another technique had a remote control cast of Superman flying around . Both were discarded due to lack of movement . High - quality , realistic - looking animation was tried , with speed trails added to make the effect more convincing . As detailed in the Superman : The Movie DVD special effects documentary ' The Magic Behind The Cape ' , presented by optical effects supervisor Roy Field , in the end , three techniques were used to achieve the flying effects . For landings and take - offs , wire flying riggings were devised and used . On location , these were suspended from tower cranes , whereas in the studio elaborate rigs were suspended from the studio ceilings . Some of the wire - flying work was quite audacious considering computer - controlled rigs were not then available -- the penultimate shot where Superman flies out of the prison yard for example . Although stuntmen were used , Reeve did much of the work himself , and was suspended as high as 50 feet in the air . Counterweights and pulleys were typically used to achieve flying movement , rather than electronic or motorized devices . The thin wires used to suspend Reeve were typically removed from the film in post-production using rotoscope techniques , although this was n't necessary in all shots ( in certain lighting conditions or when Superman is very distant in the frame , the wires were more or less imperceptible ) . For stationary shots where Superman is seen flying toward or away from the camera , blue screen matte techniques were used . Reeve would be photographed suspended against a blue screen . While a special device made his cape flap to give the illusion of movement , the actor himself would remain stationary ( save for banking his body ) . Instead , the camera would use a mixture of long zoom - ins and zoom - outs and dolly in / dolly outs to cause him to become larger or smaller in the frame . The blue background would then be photochemically removed and Reeve 's isolated image would be ' inserted ' into a matted area of a background plate shot . The zoom - ins or zoom - outs would give the appearance of flying away or toward the contents of the background plate . The disparity in lighting and color between the matted image and the background plate , the occasional presence of black matte lines ( where the matte area and the matted image -- in this case , Superman -- do not exactly match up ) , and the slightly unconvincing impression of movement achieved through the use of zoom lenses is characteristic of these shots . Where the shot is tracking with Superman as he flies ( such as in the Superman and Lois Metropolis flying sequence ) , front projection was used . This involved photographing the actors suspended in front of a background image dimly projected from the front onto a special screen made by 3M that would reflect light back at many times the original intensity directly into a combined camera / projector . The result was a very clear and intense photographic reproduction of both the actors and the background plate , with far less image deterioration or lighting problems than occur with rear projection . A technique was developed that combined the front projection effect with specially designed zoom lenses . The illusion of movement was created by zooming in on Reeve while making the front projected image appear to recede . For scenes where Superman interacts with other people or objects while in flight , Reeve and actors were put in a variety of rigging equipment with careful lighting and photography . This also led to the creation of the Zoptic system . The highly reflective costumes worn by the Kryptonians are made of the same 3M material used for the front projection screens and were the result of an accident during Superman flying tests . `` We noticed the material lit up on its own , '' Donner explained . `` We tore the material into tiny pieces and glued it on the costumes , designing a front projection effect for each camera . There was a little light on each camera , and it would project into a mirror , bounce out in front of the lens , hit the costume , ( and ) millions of little glass beads would light up and bring the image back into the camera . '' Music ( edit ) Jerry Goldsmith , who scored Donner 's The Omen , was originally set to compose Superman . Portions of Goldsmith 's work from Capricorn One were used in Superman 's teaser trailer . He dropped out over scheduling conflicts and John Williams was hired . Williams conducted the London Symphony Orchestra to record the soundtrack . The music was one of the last pieces to come into place . Williams liked that the film did not take itself too seriously and that it had a theatrical camp feel to it . Kidder was supposed to sing `` Can You Read My Mind ? , '' the lyrics to which were written by Leslie Bricusse , but Donner disliked it and changed it to a composition accompanied by a voiceover . Maureen McGovern eventually recorded the single , `` Can You Read My Mind ? , '' in 1979 , although the song did not appear on the film soundtrack . It became a mid-chart hit on the Billboard Hot 100 that year ( # 52 ) , spending three weeks at number five on the U.S. Adult Contemporary chart , as well as making lesser appearances on the corresponding Canadian charts . It was also a very minor hit on the U.S. Country chart , reaching # 93 . The score earned John Williams an Academy Award nomination , but he lost to Giorgio Moroder 's score for Midnight Express . 2000 Rhino Complete album ( edit ) ( show ) Disc One No .

But we will never leave you , even in the face of our deaths . The richness of our lives shall be yours . All that I have , all that I 've learned , everything I feel -- all this and more I bequeath you , my son . You will carry me inside you all the days of your life . You will make my strength your own , and see my life through your eyes , as your life will be seen through mine . The son becomes the father and the father the son . This is all I , all I can send you , Kal - El . '' -- Jor - El Superman is divided into three basic sections , each having a distinct theme and visual style . The first segment , set on Krypton , is meant to be typical of science fiction films , but also lays the groundwork for an analogy that emerges in the relationship between Jor - El and Kal - El . The second segment , set in Smallville , is reminiscent of 1950s films , and its small - town atmosphere is meant to evoke a Norman Rockwell painting . The third ( and largest ) segment , set mostly in Metropolis , was an attempt to present the superhero story with as much realism as possible ( what Donner called `` verisimilitude '' ) , relying on traditional cinematic drama and using only subtle humor instead of a campy approach . In each of the three acts , the mythic status of Superman is enhanced by events that recall the hero 's journey ( or monomyth ) as described by Joseph Campbell . Each act has a discernible cycle of `` call '' and journey . The journey is from Krypton to Earth in the first act , from Smallville to the Fortress of Solitude in the second act , and then from Metropolis to the whole world in the third act . Many have noted the examples of apparent Christian symbolism . Donner , Tom Mankiewicz and Ilya Salkind have commented on the use of Christian references to discuss the themes of Superman . Mankiewicz deliberately fostered analogies with Jor - El ( God ) and Kal - El ( Jesus ) . Donner is somewhat skeptical of Mankiewicz ' actions , joking `` I got enough death threats because of that . '' Several concepts and items of imagery have been used in Biblical comparisons . Jor - El casts out General Zod from Krypton , a parallel to the casting out of Satan from Heaven . The spacecraft that brings Kal - El to Earth is in the form of a star ( Star of Bethlehem ) . Kal - El comes to Jonathan and Martha Kent , who are unable to have children . Martha Kent states , `` All these years how we 've prayed and prayed that the good Lord would see fit to give us a child , '' which was compared to the Virgin Mary . Just as little is known about Jesus during his middle years , Clark travels into the wilderness to find out who he is and what he has to do . Jor - El says , `` Live as one of them , Kal - El , to discover where your strength and power are needed . But always hold in your heart the pride of your special heritage . They can be a great people , Kal - El , and they wish to be . They only lack the light to show the way . For this reason above all , their capacity for good , I have sent them you , my only son . '' The theme resembles the Biblical account of God sending his only son Jesus to Earth in hope for the good of mankind . More were seen when Donner was able to complete Superman II : The Richard Donner Cut , featuring the fall , resurrection and his battle with evil . Another vision was that of The Creation of Adam . The Christian imagery in the Reeve films has provoked comment on the Jewish origins of Superman . Rabbi Simcha Weinstein 's book Up , Up and Oy Vey : How Jewish History , Culture and Values Shaped the Comic Book Superhero , says that Superman is both a pillar of society and one whose cape conceals a `` nebbish '' , saying `` He 's a bumbling , nebbish Jewish stereotype . He 's Woody Allen . '' Ironically , it is also in the Reeve films that Clark Kent 's persona has the greatest resemblance to Woody Allen , though his conscious model was Cary Grant 's character in Bringing Up Baby . This same theme is pursued about 1940s superheroes generally in Disguised as Clark Kent : Jews , Comics , and the Creation of the Superhero by Danny Fingeroth . In the scene where Lois Lane interviews Superman on the balcony , Superman replies , `` I never lie . '' Salkind felt this was an important point in the film , since Superman , living under his secret identity as Clark Kent , is `` telling the biggest lie of all time . '' His romance with Lois also leads him to contradict Jor - El 's orders to avoid altering human history , time traveling to save her from dying . Superman instead takes the advice of Jonathan Kent , his father on Earth . Release ( edit ) Superman was originally scheduled to be released in June 1978 , the 40th anniversary of Action Comics 1 , which first introduced Superman , but the problems during filming pushed the film back by six months . Editor Stuart Baird reflected , `` Filming was finished in October 1978 and it is a miracle we had the film released two months later . Big - budgeted films today tend to take six to eight months . '' Donner , for his part , wished that he had `` had another six months ; I would have perfected a lot of things . But at some point , you 've got ta turn the picture over . '' Warner Bros. spent $7 million to market and promote the film . Superman premiered at the Uptown Theater in Washington , D.C. on December 10 , 1978 , with director Richard Donner and several cast members in attendance . Three days later , on December 13 , it had a European Royal Charity Premiere at the Empire , Leicester Square in London in the presence of HM Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Andrew . It went on to gross $134.21 million in North America and $166 million internationally , totaling $300.21 million worldwide . Superman was the second - highest - grossing film of 1978 ( behind only Grease ) , and became the sixth - highest - grossing film of all time after its theatrical run . It was also Warner Bros . ' most successful film at the time . Critical reception ( edit ) Based on 53 reviews and an average rating of 8 / 10 collected by Rotten Tomatoes , 93 % of reviewers enjoyed Superman , with the consensus , `` Superman deftly blends humor and gravitas , taking advantage of the perfectly cast Reeve to craft a loving , nostalgic tribute to an American pop culture icon . '' By comparison , Metacritic collected an average score of 88 , resulting in `` universal acclaim '' , based on 12 reviews . The film was widely regarded as one of top 10 films of 1978 . Superman creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster gave a positive reaction . Shuster was `` delighted to see Superman on the screen . I got chills . Chris Reeve has just the right touch of humor . He really is Superman . '' Roger Ebert gave a very positive review . `` Superman is a pure delight , a wondrous combination of all the old - fashioned things we never really get tired of : adventure and romance , heroes and villains , earthshaking special effects and wit . Reeve is perfectly cast in the role . Any poor choice would have ruined the film . '' Ebert placed the film on his 10 best list of 1978 . He would later go on to place it on his `` Great Movies '' list . James Berardinelli believed `` there 's no doubt that it 's a flawed movie , but it 's one of the most wonderfully entertaining flawed movies made during the 1970s . It 's exactly what comic book fans hoped it would be . Perhaps most heartening of all , however , is the message at the end of the credits announcing the impending arrival of Superman II . '' Harry Knowles is a longtime fan of the film , but was critical of elements that did not represent the Superman stories as seen in the comics . Dave Kehr felt `` the tone , style , and point of view change almost from shot to shot . This is the definitive corporate film . It is best when it takes itself seriously , worst when it takes the easy way out in giggly camp . When Lex Luthor enters the action , Hackman plays the arch - villain like a hairdresser left over from a TV skit . '' Neal Gabler similarly felt that the film focused too much on shallow comedy . He also argued that the film should have adhered more to the spirit of Mario Puzo 's original script , and referred to the first three Superman films collectively as `` simply puffed - up TV episodes . '' The television broadcasts ( edit ) While , by contract , Richard Donner had major editorial control over what was theatrically released , the Salkinds had editorial control on what was shown outside of theaters . This was the result of deals that had been made between the producers and the ABC television network prior to the film 's release . Financially , the more footage that was restored for television , the more revenue that could be made for the broadcast ( the producers charged by the minute for every bit of footage added back in ) . During production of the film , Alexander and Ilya Salkind had been relegated to having to sell more and more of their rights back to Warner Bros. in exchange for financial help , which is why Warner Bros. would have theatrical and home video distribution rights . So by 1981 when the television rights reverted to the Salkinds , the producers prepared a 3 - hour and 8 - minute version for worldwide television reincorporating some 45 minutes of footage and music deleted from the theatrical cut , and specially prepared so that networks and stations can re-edit their own version at their discretion . This edit is commonly known as the `` Salkind International Television Cut '' . All subsequent network television cuts were derived from this version . ABC aired the broadcast television debut of Superman over two nights in February , 1982 , with a majority of the unused footage . The 182 - minute network cut ( which was slightly cut down for content ) was repeated in November of that same year , this time in its entirety in one evening . The remaining two ABC broadcasts were presented in its original theatrical version . When the TV rights reverted back to Warner Bros. in 1985 , CBS aired the film one last time on network television in its theatrical version . When the movie entered the syndication market in 1988 ( following a play - out run on pay cable ) TV stations were offered the extended cut or the theatrical cut . The stations that showed the extended cut edited the second half to add more advertising time and `` previously on ... '' cutback scenes just as ABC had done in 1982 . In 1994 ( following a pay - cable reissue and its obligatory run on USA Network ) , Warner Bros. Television syndicated the full 188 - minute international television version , most famously on a Los Angeles television station . The most notable additions unseen on U.S. television were two additional scenes never seen before , in addition to what had been previously reinstated . This version also surfaced outside of Los Angeles . For example , WJLA Channel 7 , an ABC affiliate out of Washington , D.C. , aired the extended cut in July 1994 . Because its first known airing was on Los Angeles television station KCOP , it is also known in fan circles as the `` KCOP Version '' . When Michael Thau and Warner Home Video started working on a film restoration in 2000 , some of the extra footage was not added because of poor visual effects . Thau felt `` the pace of the film 's storyline would be adversely affected ( and there were ) timing problems matching ( footage ) with John Williams ' ( sic ) musical score , etc ... The cut of the movie shown on KCOP was put together to make the movie longer when shown on TV as the Television Station paid per minute to air the movie . The `` Special Edition '' cut is designed for the best viewing experience in the true spirit of movie making . '' There was a special test screening of the Special Edition in 2001 in Austin , Texas , on March 23 with plans for a possible wider theatrical release later that year , which did not occur . In May 2001 , Warner Home Video released the special edition on DVD . Director Donner also assisted , working slightly over a year on the project . The release included making - of documentaries directed by Thau and eight minutes of restored footage . Thau explained , `` I worked on Ladyhawke and that 's how I really met Dick ( Donner ) and Tom Mankiewicz . I used to hear those wonderful stories in the cutting room that Tom and Dick and Stuart would tell about Superman and that 's how I kind of got the ideas for the plots of ' Taking Flight ' and ' Making Superman ' '' . Donner commented , `` There are a few shots where Chris ( Reeve ) 's costume looked green . We went in and cleaned that up , bringing the color back to where it should be . '' Thau wanted to make the film shorter : `` I wanted to take out the damn poem where Lois is reciting a poem ( '' Can You Read My Mind `` ) when they 're flying around . I also wanted to take out a lot of that car chase where it was just generic action ... It was like a two - minute car chase . But Dick did n't want to take ( that ) out ( or ) the poem . '' It was followed by a box set release in the same month , containing `` bare bones '' editions of Superman II , Superman III , and Superman IV : The Quest for Peace . In November 2006 , a four - disc special edition was released , followed by an HD DVD release and Blu - ray . Also available ( with other films ) is the nine - disc `` Christopher Reeve Superman Collection '' and the 14 - disc `` Superman Ultimate Collector 's Edition . '' There were various extended TV versions each broadcast in various countries . Most of these are in pan and scan , as they were made in the 1980s , when films were not letterboxed to preserve the theatrical aspect ratio on old TVs . Until 2017 , it was thought the quality of the extended network TV version was inferior to any theatrical or previous home video release because it was mastered in 16mm ( using the `` film chain system '' ) and a mono sound mix done , as by the time the extended cut was prepared in 1981 , stereo was not available in television broadcasts ( 16mm television prints were in fact made and mastered on NTSC Standard Definition video for the initial ABC network broadcasts ) . However , during an inventory of the Warner Bros. library , an IP master of the full 188 - minute television version was discovered . This eight - reel master was not marked with an aspect ratio , but the print was inspected and , as it turned out , was in the proper 2.35 : 1 Panavision ratio . This was the source of the Warner Archive Collection Blu - Ray release of what would officially be called the `` Superman : The Movie Extended Cut '' , issued on October 3 , 2017 . The new video release was visually restored by WB 's imaging department , and , other than the opening and end credits ( which are in true stereo ) , the film is presented in an enhanced version of the mono TV sound mix . It should be noted , however , that eight of the 45 minutes of extended scenes that were used in the later 2000 director 's cut restoration ( which is also included in the new video release ) were taken from restored elements . Legacy ( edit ) Superman was nominated for three Academy Awards ( Best Film Editing -- ( Stuart Baird ) , Best Original Score -- ( John Williams ) and Best Sound -- ( Gordon K. McCallum , Graham V. Hartstone , Nicolas Le Messurier and Roy Charman ) ) and received a Special Achievement Academy Award for its visual effects . Donner publicly expressed disgust that production designer John Barry and cinematographer Geoffrey Unsworth had not been recognized by the Academy . Superman was successful at the 32nd British Academy Film Awards . Reeve won Best Newcomer , while Hackman , Unsworth , Barry , and the sound designers earned nominations . The film won the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation . At the Saturn Awards , Kidder , Barry , John Williams , and the visual effects department received awards , and the film won Best Science Fiction Film . Reeve , Hackman , Donner , Valerie Perrine , and costume designer Yvonne Blake were nominated for their work as well . In addition , Williams was nominated at the 36th Golden Globe Awards and won the Grammy Award for Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media . In 2007 , the Visual Effects Society listed Superman as the 44th-most influential use of visual effects of all time . In 2008 , Empire magazine named it the 174th - greatest film of all time on its list of 500 . In 2009 , Entertainment Weekly ranked Superman 3rd on their list of The All - Time Coolest Heroes in Pop Culture . With the film 's success , it was immediately decided to finish Superman II . Ilya and Alexander Salkind and Pierre Spengler did not ask Donner to return because Donner had criticized them during the film 's publicity phase . Donner commented in January 1979 , `` I 'd work with Spengler again , but only on my terms . As long as he has nothing to say as the producer , and is just liaison between Alexander Salkind and his money , that 's fine . If they do n't want it on those terms , then they need to go out and find another director , it sure as shit ai n't gon na be me . '' Kidder , who portrayed Lois Lane , was dissatisfied by the producers ' decision , and also criticized the Salkinds during publicity . As a result , Kidder was only given a cameo appearance for Superman III , and not a main supporting role . Jack O'Halloran , who portrayed Non , stated , `` It was great to work with Donner . Richard Lester was as big an asshole as the Salkinds . '' Two more films , Superman III ( 1983 ) and Superman IV : The Quest for Peace ( 1987 ) , were produced . Superman Returns was released in 2006 . Director Bryan Singer credited the 1978 Superman as an influence for Superman Returns , and used restored footage of Brando as Jor - El . Superman II : The Richard Donner Cut also was released in 2006 . The film 's final sequence , which features Superman flying high above the Earth at sunrise , and breaking the fourth wall to smile briefly at the camera , featured at the end of every Superman film starring Reeve and was re-shot with Brandon Routh for Superman Returns . The series was rebooted with Man of Steel in 2013 . Because Superman went into production prior to the releases of Star Wars ( May 1977 ) and Close Encounters of the Third Kind ( November 1977 ) , some observers credit the three films collectively for launching the reemergence of a large market for science fiction films in the 1980s . This is certainly the view of Superman producer Ilya Salkind and some who have interviewed him , as well as of film production assistant Brad Lohan . Other observers of film history tend to credit the resurgence of science fiction films simply to the Lucas and Spielberg productions , and see Superman as the first of the new cycle of films launched by the first two . Ilya Salkind denies any connection between Superman -- which began filming in March 1977 -- and the other films , stating that `` I did not know about ' Star Wars ' ; ' Star Wars ' did not know about ' Superman ' ; ' Close Encounters ' did not know about ' Superman . ' It really was completely independent -- nobody knew anything about anybody . '' Superman also established the superhero film genre as viable outside the production of low - budget Saturday matinee serials . Director Christopher Nolan cited Richard Donner 's vision and scope of Superman when pitching the concept for Batman Begins to Warner Bros. in 2002 . The movie inspired The Kinks ' 1979 song `` ( Wish I Could Fly Like ) Superman '' , when the band 's main songwriter , Ray Davies , watched the film in late 1978 . In 2006 the `` Last Son '' comic book story arc debuted in Action Comics , co-written by Superman director Richard Donner . The film is recognized by American Film Institute in these lists : 2003 : AFI 's 100 Years ... 100 Heroes & Villains : Superman ( Clark Kent ) -- # 26 Hero Lex Luthor -- Nominated Villain 2004 : AFI 's 100 Years ... 100 Songs : `` Can You Read My Mind ? '' -- Nominated 2005 : AFI 's 100 Years ... 100 Movie Quotes : Superman : `` I 'm here to fight for truth , justice , and the American way . '' -- Nominated 2005 : AFI 's 100 Years of Film Scores -- Nominated 2006 : AFI 's 100 Years ... 100 Cheers -- Nominated 2008 : AFI 's 10 Top 10 : Nominated Fantasy Film Comic book continuity ( edit ) Elements of the Superman mythos which originated in the film have since been incorporated into the regular continuity of the DC Comics universe : The crystalline - based technology of the planet Krypton. , along with the barren landscapes and cold , distant society . Superman 's `` S '' logo originates as the El family crest . Ursa and Non -- characters created specifically for the film -- are imprisoned in the Phantom Zone with General Zod . A computer - generated simulacrum of Jor - El survives in the Fortress of Solitude to advise his adult son Kal - El . Clark Kent commences his public superhero career as the adult Superman , rather than the teenage Superboy . ( This is also in keeping with the character 's earliest incarnation , who also began his superhero career as an adult . ) Lois Lane first meets Superman when he rescues her as she falls from a disabled helicopter in Metropolis . Lois is the one who first names the hero `` Superman . '' Jonathan Kent dies of a heart attack , but Martha survives as his widow . Although she is an excellent reporter , Lois frequently misspells words . References ( edit ) Jump up ^ `` Superman '' . British Board of Film Classification .

"Superman (informally titled Superman: The Movie in some listings and reference sources) is a 1978 superhero film directed by Richard Donner and based on the DC Comics character of the same name. The film is a British, Swiss, Panamanian and American joint venture,[2] produced by Warner Bros., Film Export A.G., Dovemead Limited and International Film Productions. Superman features an ensemble cast of Marlon Brando, Gene Hackman, Christopher Reeve, Jeff East, Margot Kidder, Glenn Ford, Phyllis Thaxter, Jackie Cooper, Trevor Howard, Marc McClure, Terence Stamp, Valerie Perrine, Ned Beatty, Jack O'Halloran, Maria Schell, and Sarah Douglas. The film depicts Superman's origin, including his infancy as Kal-El of Krypton and his youthful years in the rural town of Smallville. Disguised as reporter Clark Kent, he adopts a mild-mannered disposition in Metropolis and develops a romance with Lois Lane, while battling the villainous Lex Luthor."

-6855677084251297443 | Mashrabiya | Mashrabiya - wikipedia Mashrabiya Jump to : navigation , search Egyptian style Mashrabiya A mashrabiya ( مشربية ) , also either shanshūl ( شنشول ) or rūshān ( روشان ) , is a type of projecting oriel window enclosed with carved wood latticework located on the second storey of a building or higher , often lined with stained glass . The mashrabiya is an element of traditional Arabic architecture used since the Middle Ages up to the mid-20th century . It is mostly used on the street side of the building ; however , it may also be used internally on the sahn ( courtyard ) side . Mashrabiyas were mostly used in houses and palaces although sometimes in public buildings such as hospitals , inns , schools and government buildings . They are found mostly in the Mashriq -- i.e. the eastern part of the Arab world , but some types of similar windows are also found in the Maghreb ( the western part of the Arab world ) . They are very prevalent in Iraq , the Levant , Hejaz and Egypt . They are mostly found in urban settings and rarely in rural areas . Basra is often called `` the city of Shanasheel '' . Contents ( hide ) 1 Etymology 2 History 3 Construction 4 Utilisation 4.1 Social 4.2 Environment 4.3 Architecture 5 Alternate spellings 6 See also 7 Further reading 8 References Etymology ( edit ) Restored mashrabiya from the Aljafería palace ( 10th century ) , in Spain . Mashrabiya is derived from the triliteral root Š - R - B , which generally denotes drinking or absorbing . There are two theories for its name . The more common theory is that the name was originally for a small wooden shelf where the drinking water pots were stored . The shelf was enclosed by wood and located at the window in order to keep the water cool . Later on , this shelf evolved until it became part of the room with a full enclosure and retained the name despite the radical change in use . The less common theory is that the name was originally mashrafiya , derived from the verb shrafa , meaning to overlook or to observe . During the centuries , the name slowly changed because of sound change and the influence of other languages . History ( edit ) There is no point in history that can be dated as the first time they appeared ; however , the earliest evidence on use of the Mashrabiya , as it currently is , dates back to the 12th century in Baghdad , during the Abbasid period . Whatever is left in Arabic cities is mostly built during the late 19th century and early - to - mid-20th century , but some Mashrabiyas are three or four hundred years old . In Iraq , in the 1920s and 1930s , the designs of the latticework was affected by the Art Deco and Art Nouveau movements of the time . That was evident in Al Rasheed street Mashrabiyas untll the late 1960s , when most of them were demolished . Construction ( edit ) This section needs additional citations for verification . Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( May 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Traditionally , houses are built of adobe , brick or stone or a combination of that . Wooden houses are not popular and hardly ever found . Building heights in urban setting range from two to five floors ( although Yemeni houses can reach up to seven floors ) with the Mashrabiyas on the second level and above . The roofs are usually built using wooden or steel beams with the areas between filled with brick in a semi vault style . These beams were extended over the street , enlarging the footprint of the upper floor . The upper floor is then enclosed with latticework and roofed with wood . The projection is cantilevered and does not bear the weight of traditional building materials . There are different types of Mashrabiyas , and the latticework designs differ from region to region . Most Mashrabiyas are closed where the latticework is lined with stained glass and part of the Mashrabiya is designed to be opened like a window , often sliding windows to save space ; in this case the area contained is part of the upper floor rooms hence enlarging the floor plan . Some Mashrabiyas are open and not lined with glass , in this case the Mashrabiya works like a balcony and the space enclosed is independent of the upper floor rooms and accessed through those rooms with windows opening towards it , sometimes even the woodwork is reduced making look much more similar to a regular roofed balcony ; this type of Mashrabiya is mostly used if the house is facing an open landscape rather than other houses , such as a river , a cliff below or simply a farm . Utilisation ( edit ) This section needs additional citations for verification . Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( May 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Social ( edit ) One of the major purposes of the Mashrabiya is privacy , an essential aspect of Arabic culture . A good view of the street can be obtained by the occupants without being seen . Environment ( edit ) The wooden screen with openable windows gives shade and protection from the hot summer sun , while allowing the cool air from the street to flow through . The designs of the latticework are usually with smaller opening in the bottom part and larger openings in the higher parts , hence causing the draft to be fast above the head and slow in lower parts . This provides a significant amount of air moving in the room without causing it to be uncomfortable . The projection of the Mashrabiya achieves several purposes , on one hand it allows air from three sides to enter , even if the draught outside was parallel to the house façade ; on the other hand it serves the street and in turn the neighborhood . A row of projected Mashrabiyas provides shelter for those in the streets from rain or sun . The shade in normally narrow streets will cool the air in the street and increase the pressure as opposed to the air in the sahn , which is open to the sun making it more likely that it would flow towards the sahn through the rooms of the house . The Mashrabiya also provides protection and shade for the ground floor windows that are flat and usually unprotected . Architecture ( edit ) One of the major architectural benefits is correcting the footprint shape of the land . Due to winding and irregular streets , plots of land are also commonly irregular in shape while the house designs are usually regular ( squares and rectangles ) . This would cause irregular shapes of some rooms and creates dead corners . The projection allows correcting the shapes of the rooms on the upper floors , hence allowing the utilisation of the entire plot . This also increased the usable space without increasing the plot size . On the street side , in addition to their ornamental advantage , they served to provide enclosure to the street and a stronger human scale .

3892388555490116868 | Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing (United States) | Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing ( United States ) - wikipedia Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing ( United States ) For other Thoroughbred Triple Crowns , see Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing . Justify , the 13th winner , at the 2018 Preakness Stakes . In the United States , the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing , commonly known as the Triple Crown , is a title awarded to a three - year - old Thoroughbred horse who wins the Kentucky Derby , Preakness Stakes , and Belmont Stakes . The three races were inaugurated in different years , the last being the Kentucky Derby in 1875 . These races are now run annually in May and early June of each year . The Triple Crown Trophy , commissioned in 1950 but awarded to all previous winners as well as those after 1950 , is awarded to a Triple Crown winner . The first winner of all three Triple Crown races was Sir Barton in 1919 . Some journalists began using the term Triple Crown to refer to the three races as early as 1923 , but it was not until Gallant Fox won the three events in 1930 that Charles Hatton of the Daily Racing Form put the term into common use . In the history of the Triple Crown , 13 horses have won all three races : Sir Barton ( 1919 ) , Gallant Fox ( 1930 ) , Omaha ( 1935 ) , War Admiral ( 1937 ) , Whirlaway ( 1941 ) , Count Fleet ( 1943 ) , Assault ( 1946 ) , Citation ( 1948 ) , Secretariat ( 1973 ) , Seattle Slew ( 1977 ) , Affirmed ( 1978 ) , American Pharoah ( 2015 ) , and Justify ( 2018 ) . As of 2018 , American Pharoah and Justify are the only living Triple Crown winners . James E. `` Sunny Jim '' Fitzsimmons was the first trainer to win the Triple Crown more than once ; he trained both Gallant Fox and his son Omaha for the Belair Stud breeding farm . Gallant Fox and Omaha are the only father - son duo to win the Triple Crown . Bob Baffert became the second trainer to win the Triple Crown twice , training American Pharoah and Justify . Belair Stud and Calumet Farm are tied as the owners with the most Triple Crown victories with two apiece . Calumet Farms won with Whirlaway and Citation . Eddie Arcaro rode both of Calumet Farms ' Triple Crown champions and is the only jockey to win more than one Triple Crown . Secretariat holds the stakes record time for each of the three races . His time of 2 : 24 for 1 ⁄ miles in the 1973 Belmont Stakes also set a world record that still stands . Contents 1 Development 2 Winners 2.1 Records 2.2 Other notable achievements 3 Gaps between wins 4 Unsuccessful bids 5 Sponsorship and broadcasting 6 Individual race winners 7 See also 8 References 9 External links Development ( edit ) The three Triple Crown races had been run for decades before the series received its name ; the Belmont Stakes was first run in 1867 ; the Preakness , in 1873 ; and the Kentucky Derby , in 1875 . The term was in use at least by 1923 , although Daily Racing Form writer Charles Hatton is commonly credited with originating the term in 1930 . Their order has varied . Before 1931 , the Preakness was run before the Kentucky Derby eleven times . On May 12 , 1917 , and May 13 , 1922 , the Kentucky Derby and Preakness were run on the same day . Since 1931 , the Kentucky Derby has been run first , followed by the Preakness , and then the Belmont . Each Triple Crown race is open to both colts and fillies . Although fillies have won each of the individual Triple Crown races , none has won the Triple Crown itself . Despite attempts to develop a `` Filly Triple Crown '' or a `` Triple Tiara '' for fillies only , no set series of three races has consistently remained in the public eye , and at least four different configurations of races have been used . Two fillies won the series of the Kentucky Oaks , the Pimlico Oaks ( now the Black - Eyed Susan Stakes ) , and the Coaching Club American Oaks , in 1949 and 1952 , but the racing press did not designate either accomplishment as a `` triple crown '' . In 1961 , the New York Racing Association created a filly triple crown of in - state races only , but the races changed over the years . Eight fillies won the NYRA Triple Tiara between 1968 and 1993 . Gelded colts may run in any of the three races today , but they were prohibited from entering the Belmont between 1919 and 1957 . Geldings have won each of the individual races , but like fillies , no gelding has ever won the Triple Crown . The closest was Funny Cide , who won the Derby and the Preakness in 2003 . All the races are held on dirt tracks , rather than the turf commonly used for important races in Europe . Triple Crown races Race Date Current Track Location Distance Background Cite Trophy Kentucky Derby `` The Run for the Roses '' First Saturday in May Churchill Downs Louisville , Kentucky 1 ⁄ miles ( 2,000 m ) Inaugurated in 1875 , the race was originally 1 ⁄ miles ( 2,400 m ) until 1896 when it was shortened to its current distance . It is the only one of the three races to have been continuously run from its inception . Colts and geldings carry 126 pounds ( 57 kg ) and fillies 121 pounds ( 55 kg ) . The field has been limited to 20 horses since 1975 . The Kentucky Derby Trophy Preakness Stakes `` The Run for the Black - Eyed Susans '' Third Saturday in May Pimlico Race Course Baltimore , Maryland 1 ⁄ miles ( 1,900 m ) Started in 1873 and continuously run since 1894 , it is the shortest of the three races . Pimlico was the home of the race from 1873 to 1889 and again from 1908 until the present . The Preakness was not run from 1891 to 1893 . Weights are the same as for the Derby . Field is limited to 14 horses . The Woodlawn Vase Belmont Stakes `` The Test of the Champion '' Third Saturday following the Preakness ( first or second Saturday in June ) Belmont Park Elmont , New York 1 ⁄ miles ( 2,400 m ) Begun in 1867 , it is the oldest of the three races and the longest , though not held in 1911 and 1912 due to anti-gambling legislation in New York . Race was held at various New York tracks until 1905 when Belmont Park became the permanent location . Distance varied from 1 ⁄ to 1 ⁄ miles ( 2,600 to 1,800 m ) until set at 1 ⁄ miles ( 2,400 m ) in 1926 . Weight assignments are the same as the other two races . Field is limited to 16 horses .

Gunther and † † During his 2018 bid for the Triple Crown , Justify used the colors of WinStar Farms ( white , green and black star ) for the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes . The colors of China Horse Club ( red , yellow stars and sleeves ) were used in the Belmont Stakes . At completion of the 2016 season , the three Triple Crown races have attracted 4,224 entrants . Of these , 292 horses have won a single leg of the Triple Crown , 52 horses have won two of the races ( 23 the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes , 18 the Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes , and 11 the Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes ) , and 13 horses have won all three races . Pillory won both the Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes in 1922 , a year when it was impossible to win the Triple Crown because the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes were run on the same day . 10 of the 13 winners have been `` homebreds '' , owned at the time of their win by their breeders . Jim Fitzsimmons and Bob Baffert are the only two trainers to have two horses win the Triple Crown , with Fitzsimmons training the sire / son combination of 1930 winner Gallant Fox and 1935 winner Omaha and Baffert training 2015 winner American Pharoah and 2018 winner Justify . The wins by Fitzsimmons were also the first time that an owner and the first time that a breeder , Belair Stud holding both duties , had a repeat win of the Triple Crown . Calumet Farm is the only other owner with two Triple Crown horses , 1941 winner Whirlaway and 1948 winner Citation . Eddie Arcaro is the only jockey to ride two horses to the Triple Crown , both for Calumet , Whirlaway and Citation . Those two horses ' trainers , Ben Jones and Jimmy Jones , were father and son . All 13 horses , and most owners , trainers , and jockeys were born in the United States . The exceptions were jockey Johnny Longden , born in England and raised in Canada ; French - born jockey Jean Cruguet ; trainer Laz Barrera , from Cuba ; and jockey Victor Espinoza , from Mexico . Secretariat 's trainer , Lucien Laurin and jockey , Ron Turcotte were both Canadians . Owner Fannie Hertz was married to John D. Hertz , who was born in Slovakia ; owner Ahmed Zayat was born in Egypt . Jockey Willie Saunders is considered a Canadian jockey because he grew up and established his career there , but was born in Montana . The horse Sir Barton was foaled in the United States but had a Canadian owner , J.K.L. Ross , at the time of his Triple Crown win , while Justify 's owners were from both the United States and China . Records ( edit ) Secretariat holds the stakes record for each of the Triple Crown races , the Kentucky Derby ( 1 : 59 2 / 5 ) , the Preakness Stakes ( 1 : 53 ) , and the Belmont Stakes ( 2 : 24 ) . At 18 , Steve Cauthen became the youngest jockey to win the Triple Crown , riding Affirmed in 1978 . At 52 , Mike Smith became the oldest jockey to win the Triple Crown , riding Justify in 2018 . Other notable achievements ( edit ) Only one horse , Alydar , has placed ( finished second ) in all three races . He was defeated by Affirmed in all three races in 1978 by a combined margin of two lengths . His trainer John Veitch is the only trainer to have done this with one horse . In 1995 , D. Wayne Lukas became the first and only major figure ( owner , jockey , or trainer ) to win all three Triple Crown races with different horses , Thunder Gulch in the Derby and Belmont , Timber Country in the Preakness . Lukas also is the only trainer to have won six straight Triple Crown races , adding his 1995 wins , having won the 1994 Preakness and Belmont with Tabasco Cat and the 1996 Derby with Grindstone . Like Veitch , only with two different horses , Bob Baffert also had second - place finishes in all three legs of the Triple Crown , both owned by Ahmed Zayat : in 2012 , Bodemeister finished second in the Kentucky Derby and Preakness stakes to I 'll Have Another , then Paynter was entered and finished second to Union Rags . Baffert and Zayat teamed up again for the 2015 Triple Crown victory of American Pharoah . Gallant Fox is the only Triple Crown winner to sire another U.S. Triple Crown winner , Omaha . Affirmed sired Peteski , winner of the 1993 Canadian Triple Crown . Whirlaway , in addition to winning the 1941 Triple Crown , also won the Travers Stakes that year , becoming the first and only horse to date to accomplish that feat . American Pharoah , in addition to winning the 2015 Triple Crown , also won the Breeders ' Cup Classic that year . As the Breeders ' Cup was not established until 1984 , American Pharoah was the first ( and , as of 2018 , only ) horse to sweep all four races , a feat that came to be known as the Grand Slam . Gaps between wins ( edit ) California Chrome ( second from right ) was stepped on by the number 3 horse while leaving the starting gate at the 2014 Belmont Stakes After the first Triple Crown winner , Sir Barton , in 1919 , there was not another winner until Gallant Fox in 1930 , a gap of 11 years . Between 1930 and 1948 , seven horses won the Triple Crown , with five years being the longest gap between winners . However , following the 1948 win of Citation , there was a considerable gap of 25 years before Secretariat ended the drought of Triple Crown champions in 1973 . Between 1973 and 1978 , there were three Triple Crown winners . After Affirmed 's Triple Crown in 1978 , the longest drought in Triple Crown history began in 1979 with Spectacular Bid 's failed Triple Crown attempt at the Belmont Stakes , and lasted until American Pharoah won in 2015 . Between 1979 and 2014 thirteen horses won both the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes , but either failed to win the Belmont Stakes or could not start in the race . Of those , Real Quiet came the closest to winning the Triple Crown , losing the Belmont Stakes by a nose in 1998 . Spectacular Bid finished 3rd in 1979 . Pleasant Colony finished 3rd in 1981 . Alysheba finished 4th in 1987 . Sunday Silence finished 2nd in 1989 . Real Quiet finished 2nd in 1998 . Charismatic finished 3rd in 1999 . War Emblem finished 8th in 2002 . Funny Cide finished 3rd in 2003 . Smarty Jones finished 2nd in 2004 . Big Brown did not finish in 2008 . I 'll Have Another did not start ( injury ) 2012 . California Chrome finished 4th in 2014 . In the 1979 - 2015 period , horses who contested all three races , losing the Kentucky Derby but winning the Preakness and the Belmont were Risen Star in 1988 , Hansel in 1991 , Tabasco Cat in 1994 , Point Given in 2001 , and Afleet Alex in 2005 . In 1984 , Swale and in 1995 , Thunder Gulch ran all three races , winning the Derby and the Belmont , but not the Preakness . The 37 - year gap between the Triple Crown wins of Affirmed and American Pharoah drew criticism of the system . As far back as 1986 , reporters noted that horses who were fresh for the Belmont had an advantage . In 2003 , Gary Stevens stated in an interview with Charlie Rose that he did not believe there would be another Triple Crown winner because of the tendency for owners to put fresh horses in the Preakness and Belmont Stakes . California Chrome co-owner Steve Coburn was particularly critical of the Triple Crown system in post-Belmont remarks in 2014 ; he considered the system to be unfair , arguing that there would never be another Triple Crown winner in his lifetime unless only horses that competed in the Kentucky Derby and Preakness competed at the Belmont . By 2014 , six of the previous eight Belmont winners had not competed in either of the first two legs of the Triple Crown . Additionally , from 2006 to 2014 , the Belmont winner was a horse who had not competed in the Preakness . American Pharoah was the first Belmont winner since Afleet Alex in 2005 to have run all three Triple Crown races . Unsuccessful bids ( edit ) Big Brown , the winner of the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes , at the 2008 Belmont Stakes , where he was pulled up and did not finish . Since all three races were inaugurated , as of 2017 , 23 horses have won the Derby and Preakness but not the Belmont : 1932 : Burgoo King did not enter the Belmont due to lameness . 1936 : Bold Venture did not enter the Belmont due to lameness . 1944 : Pensive was the first horse to contest but lose the Belmont after winning the first two legs . He placed second to Bounding Home , who had neither run in the Derby nor the Preakness . 1958 : Tim Tam , defeated by six lengths by Cavan , who had neither contested the Derby nor Preakness . 1961 : Carry Back , `` sore '' after the race , was seventh of nine entries , 14 ⁄ lengths behind the winner , a longshot named Sherluck . 1964 : Northern Dancer , defeated by Quadrangle . 1966 : Kauai King , defeated by Amberoid . 1968 : Forward Pass , defeated by Stage Door Johnny by 1 ⁄ lengths . 1969 : Majestic Prince , second by 5 ⁄ lengths to Arts and Letters . Loss attributed to fatigue and lameness . 1971 : Cañonero II , fourth in the Belmont to 34 -- 1 longshot Pass Catcher , the loss attributed to a hoof problem . 1979 : Spectacular Bid , third in Belmont , was alleged to have stepped on a safety pin the morning of the race , though another theory blamed rider error by an inexperienced young jockey moving him too soon . He finished 3 ⁄ lengths behind Coastal and a neck behind the second - place horse , Golden Act . 1981 : Pleasant Colony , third in Belmont , 1 ⁄ lengths behind Summing and the second - place horse , Highland Blade . 1987 : Alysheba finished fourth in Belmont behind Bet Twice , Cryptoclearance , and Gulch . 1989 : Sunday Silence , second in Belmont , eight lengths behind Easy Goer . 1997 : Silver Charm , second in Belmont , ⁄ length behind Touch Gold . 1998 : Real Quiet , second in Belmont after a photo finish , a nose behind Victory Gallop . 1999 : Charismatic , third in Belmont , 1 ⁄ lengths behind Lemon Drop Kid and second - place Vision and Verse . Charismatic was pulled up soon after the finish , vanned off with a bone fracture . He survived and was retired to stud . 2002 : War Emblem stumbled at gate in Belmont , finished eighth out of 11 . Winner Sarava scored upset at record odds of 70 - 1 . 2003 : Funny Cide , third in Belmont , five lengths behind Empire Maker , and 4 ⁄ lengths behind second - place horse , Ten Most Wanted . 2004 : Smarty Jones , second in Belmont , one length behind Birdstone . 2008 : Big Brown was pulled up in the home stretch of the Belmont , eased to a last - place finish . Winner was Da ' Tara . A hoof problem had limited Big Brown 's training , and may have been a factor in his defeat . 2012 : I 'll Have Another was scratched from the Belmont the day before the race due to a tendon injury . 2014 : California Chrome finished in a dead heat for 4th in the Belmont after being stepped on by another horse leaving the gate and running the race with an injury to his heel and a scrape on his tendon . Sponsorship and broadcasting ( edit ) Main article : United States Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing on television Originally , the three races largely organized their own nominations procedure , marketing and television broadcast rights . In 1985 , Triple Crown Productions was created when the owner of Spend a Buck chose not to run in the other two Triple Crown races because of a financial incentive offered to any Kentucky Derby winner who could win a set of competing races in New Jersey . The organizers of the three races realized that they needed to work together . Efforts to unify the sponsorship and marketing of all three Triple Crown races began in 1987 when ABC Sports negotiated a deal with Chrysler to pay $5 million to any horse that swept all three races , and $1 million each year there was no Triple Crown sweep to the horse with the highest combined Triple Crown finish . This sponsorship lasted until 1993 . The end of the $1 million participation bonus was linked to the breakdown of Prairie Bayou at the Belmont Stakes that year and the uncomfortable situation that arose when the Kentucky Derby winner , Sea Hero , was given the bonus following a seventh - place finish . In 1995 , Visa USA took over the sponsorship with a 10 - year contract , naming the series the Visa Triple Crown and offering only the $5 million bonus to a horse that could sweep the Triple Crown . Along with sponsorship by VISA , NBC Sports paid $51.5 million for broadcast rights to all three races , with the revenue split giving 50 % of the total to Churchill Downs and 25 % each to Pimlico and to the New York Racing Association ( NYRA ) . The Visa deal -- and the cooperative effort -- ended after 2005 . The NYRA felt that they did not get a fair share of the revenue , particularly when the Belmont had the highest ratings of all three races in the years where a Triple Crown was on the line . From 2001 through 2013 , average viewership for the Belmont was 7 million when the Triple Crown was not at stake , whereas viewership averaged 13 million when it was . With the contract term ending , the NYRA went to ESPN on ABC for the 2006 Belmont , while the broadcasts of the Derby and Preakness remained with NBC . Visa chose to remain as a sponsor of only Kentucky Derby for the next five years . As a result of the divided broadcast , Triple Crown Productions was unable to obtain a new sponsor . Years Sponsor Bonuses 1987 -- 1993 Chrysler Corporation $1 million ( best overall record ) $5 million ( three wins ) 1995 -- 2005 Visa USA $5 million ( three wins ) 2006 -- present Triple Crown Productions None In February 2011 , ABC / ESPN dropped out of the negotiations to renew broadcast rights to the Belmont Stakes . NBC obtained the contract through 2015 , once again uniting all three races on the same network . In 2014 , NBC extended their contract for the Kentucky Derby through 2025 . As of August 2015 , NBC obtained a broadcast contract for the Belmont through 2020 and the Preakness through 2022 .

You can help by adding to it . ( August 2018 ) The series begins revolving around Piper Chapman ( Taylor Schilling ) , a woman in her 30s living in New York City who is sentenced to 15 months in Litchfield Penitentiary , a minimum - security women 's federal prison ( initially operated by the `` Federal Department of Corrections '' . This is a fictional version of the Federal Bureau of Prisons . In later seasons , it was acquired by the Management & Correction Corporation ( MCC ) , a private prison company ) in upstate New York . Chapman was convicted of transporting a suitcase full of drug money for her girlfriend Alex Vause ( Laura Prepon ) , an international drug smuggler . The offense had occurred 10 years prior to the start of the series and in that time Piper had moved on to a quiet , law - abiding life among New York 's upper middle class . Her sudden and unexpected indictment disrupts her relationships with her fiancé , family and friends . In prison , Chapman is reunited with Vause ( who named Chapman in her trial , resulting in Chapman 's arrest ) and they re-examine their relationship . Simultaneously , Chapman , along with the other inmates , attempt to grapple with prison 's numerous , inherent struggles . Episodes often feature flashbacks of significant events from various inmates ' and prison guards ' pasts . These flashbacks typically depict how the inmate came to be in prison or develop the character 's backstory . The fifth season shows the prisoners revolting against the guards , wardens and the system after MCC 's failed handling of an inmate 's death at the hands of a guard . This followed a peaceful protest and subsequent instigation of an inmate fight by another guard in the fourth season . Fueled by the conditions the inmates are forced to tolerate , as well as grudges against the prison guards , a three - day riot ensues , during which some inmates attempt to negotiate better living conditions and seek justice for the death of the inmate , while others pursue their own interests and entertainment , and a few seek no involvement in the riot . At the emergence of the riot , the guard that incited the fight in the prior season is critically shot by an inmate who took the gun the guard illegally brought into the prison . At the end of the season , SWAT raids the prison to end the riot and remove all inmates from the facility . During this raid , a correctional officer is fatally shot by a corrupt `` strike team '' , which then conspires to blame the guard 's death on inmates that hid in an underground bunker and had taken hostage of the guard . All inmates are transported to other prisons . The consequences of the riot are shown in the sixth season . A number of the inmates , including Chapman and Vause , are transported to Litchfield Maximum Security . Most of these inmates are interrogated , and several of them charged and sentenced for their involvement in the riot . In max , new inmates are introduced , alliances are made , and a gang - like war emerges between two prison blocks , spearheaded by a longstanding feud between two sisters and a grudge harbored by them toward a former maximum - security inmate that returned . Inmates that arrived from the minimum security prison are either caught up or willingly participate in the war between prison blocks . The season portrays further corruption and guard brutality . Throughout the series , it is shown how various forms of corruption , funding cuts , privatization of prison , overcrowding , guard brutality and racial discrimination , among other issues , affect the prisoners ' safety , health and well - being , the correctional officers , and the prison 's basic ability to fulfill its fundamental responsibilities and ethical obligations as a corrections institution . One of the show 's key conflicts involves the minimum - security prison 's Director of Human Activities , Joe Caputo , whose efforts and aims as a warden constantly conflict with the corporate interests of MCC , which acquired the facility when it was about to be shut down .

Burg as Detective Mark Bellamy ( season 6 ) Jason Altman as Main Officer Herrmann ( seasons 5 - 6 ) Production ( edit ) The series cast at The Paley Center For Media 's PaleyFest 2014 event honoring the show Show creator Jenji Kohan read Piper Kerman 's memoir after a friend sent it to her . She then set up a meeting with Kerman to pitch her on a TV adaptation , which she notes she `` screwed up '' as she spent most of the time asking Kerman about her experiences she described in the book rather than selling her on the show . This appealed to Kerman as it let her know that she was a fan and she signed off on the adaptation . Kohan would later go on to describe the main character , Piper Chapman , as a `` trojan horse '' for the series , allowing it to focus on characters whose demographics would not normally be represented on TV . In July 2011 , it was revealed that Netflix was in negotiations with Lionsgate for a 13 - episode TV adaptation of Kerman 's memoirs with Kohan as creator . In November 2011 , negotiations were finalized and the series had been greenlit . Kohan had initially wanted to cast Katie Holmes in the role of Piper Chapman , and met with the actress to discuss it , but Holmes had other commitments . Casting announcements began in August 2012 with Taylor Schilling , the first to be cast , as Piper Chapman , followed by Jason Biggs as Piper 's fiancé Larry Bloom . Laura Prepon and Yael Stone were next to join the series , as Alex Vause and Lorna Morello , respectively . Abigail Savage , who plays Gina , and Alysia Reiner , who plays Fig , had auditioned for role of Alex Vause . Prepon initially auditioned for Piper Chapman , however Kohan felt she would not worry about her ( in prison ) , noting a `` toughness and a presence to her that was n't right for the character . '' Kohan instead gave her the role of Alex. Stone had originally auditioned for the role of Nicky Nichols , but she was not considered `` tough enough '' for the character ; she was asked to audition for Lorna Morello instead . Likability was important for Morello , whom casting director Jen Euston deemed `` a very helpful , nice , sweet Italian girl . '' Natasha Lyonne was to audition for Alex , but was asked to read for the character Nicky Nichols ; `` ( Kohan knew ) she could do Nicky with her eyes closed . She was perfect , '' said Euston . Laverne Cox , a black transgender woman , was cast as Sophia Burset , a transgender character . The Advocate touted Orange Is the New Black as possibly the first women - in - prison narrative to cast a transgender woman for this type of role . Uzo Aduba read for the part of Janae Watson but was offered the character Suzanne `` Crazy Eyes '' Warren . Taryn Manning was offered the role of Tiffany `` Pennsatucky '' Doggett . This American Life host Ira Glass was offered a role as a public radio host , but he declined . The role instead went to Robert Stanton , who plays the fictional host Maury Kind . The series is set in a fictional prison in Litchfield , New York , which is a real town in upstate New York , but it does not have a federal penitentiary . The series began filming in the old Rockland Children 's Psychiatric Center in Rockland County , New York , on March 7 , 2013 . The title sequence features photos of real former female prisoners including Kerman herself . On June 27 , 2013 , prior to the series premiere , Netflix renewed the show for a second season consisting of 13 episodes . For the second season , Uzo Aduba , Taryn Manning , Danielle Brooks , and Natasha Lyonne were promoted to series regulars . Laura Prepon did not return as a series regular for a second season because of scheduling conflicts , but returned for season 3 as a regular . On May 5 , 2014 , the series was renewed for a third season , as revealed by actress Laura Prepon . For the third season , several actors were promoted to series regulars , including Selenis Leyva , Adrienne C. Moore , Dascha Polanco , Nick Sandow , Yael Stone , and Samira Wiley . Both Jason Biggs and Pablo Schreiber were confirmed as not returning for the third season , but Schreiber appeared in the 10th episode of the third season . The series was renewed for a fourth season on April 15 , 2015 , prior to its third - season premiere . For the fourth season , Jackie Cruz and Lea DeLaria were promoted to series regulars ; with Elizabeth Rodriguez also being promoted by the season 's sixth episode . On February 5 , 2016 , the series was renewed for a fifth , sixth and seventh season . In season six , Dale Soules , Laura Gómez , and Matt Peters were promoted to series regulars .

6067791781123527478 | Boom Boom (John Lee Hooker song) | Boom Boom ( John Lee Hooker song ) - wikipedia Boom Boom ( John Lee Hooker song ) Jump to : navigation , search `` Boom Boom '' Single by John Lee Hooker from the album Burnin ' B - side `` Drug Store Woman '' Released May 1962 ( 1962 - 05 ) Format 7 - inch 45 rpm record Recorded Chicago , late 1961 Genre Blues Length 2 : 29 Label Vee - Jay Songwriter ( s ) John Lee Hooker `` Boom Boom '' is a song written by American blues singer / guitarist John Lee Hooker and recorded in 1961 . Although a blues song , music critic Charles Shaar Murray calls it `` the greatest pop song he ever wrote '' . `` Boom Boom '' was both an American R&B and pop chart success in 1962 as well as placing in the UK Singles Chart in 1992 . The song is one of Hooker 's most identifiable and enduring and `` among the tunes that every band on the ( early 1960s UK ) R&B circuit simply had to play '' . It has been recorded by numerous blues and other artists , including a 1965 North American hit by the Animals . Contents ( hide ) 1 Recording and composition 2 Releases and charts 3 The Animals version 4 Recognition and legacy 5 References Recording and composition ( edit ) Prior to recording for Vee - Jay Records , John Lee Hooker was primarily a solo performer or accompanied by a second guitarist , such as early collaborators Eddie Burns or Eddie Kirkland . However , with Vee - Jay , he usually recorded with a small backing band , as heard on the singles `` Dimples '' , `` I Love You Honey '' , and `` No Shoes '' . Detroit pianist Joe Hunter , who had previously worked with Hooker , was again enlisted for the recording session . Hunter brought with him `` the cream of the Motown label 's session men , later known as the Funk Brothers '' : bassist James Jamerson , drummer Benny Benjamin , plus guitarist Larry Veeder , tenor saxophonist Hank Cosby , and baritone saxophonist Andrew `` Mike '' Terry . They have been described as `` just the right band '' for `` Boom Boom '' . Hooker had a unique sense of timing , which demanded `` big - eared sidemen '' . The original `` Boom Boom '' is an uptempo ( 168 beats per minute ) blues song , which has been notated in time in the key of F. It has been described as `` about the tightest musical structure of any Hooker composition : its verses sedulously adhere to the twelve - bar format over which Hooker generally rides so roughshod '' . The song uses `` a stop - time hook that opens up for one of the genre 's most memorable guitar riffs '' and incorporates a middle instrumental section Hooker - style boogie . According to Hooker , he wrote the song during an extended engagement at the Apex Bar in Detroit . I would never be on time ( for the gig ) ; I always would be late comin ' in . And she ( the bartender Willa ) kept saying , ' Boom boom -- you late again ' . Every night : ' Boom , boom -- you late again ' . I said ' Hmm , that 's a song ! ' ... I got it together , the lyrics , rehearsed it , and I played it at the place , and the people went wild `` . Hooker 's lyrics include Boom , boom , boom , boom I 'm gon na shoot you right down Right off your feet Take you home with me Put you in my house Boom , boom , boom , boom Also included are several wordless phrases , `` how - how - how - how '' and `` hmm - hmm - hmm - hmm '' . `` Boom Boom '' became the Hooker song that is `` the most memorable , the most instantly appealing , and the one which has proved the most adaptable to the needs of other performers '' . Releases and Charts ( edit ) When `` Boom Boom '' was released as a single in May 1962 , the song became a hit . It entered the Billboard R&B chart on June 16 , 1962 , where it spent eight weeks and reached number 16 . The song also entered the Billboard Hot 100 , where it reached number 60 , making it one of only two Hooker singles to enter the pop chart . It was included on the 1962 Vee - Jay album Burnin ' ( SR 1043 ) as well as many Hooker compilations , including John Lee Hooker : The Ultimate Collection . Thirty years later in the UK , after being featured in a Lee Jeans commercial in 1992 , the song reached number 16 in the UK Singles Chart . Hooker recorded several later versions . Following the success of the Animals ' version , Hooker re-recorded the song in 1968 for Stateside Records as the B - side of `` Cry Before I Go '' under the longer title `` Boom Boom Boom '' . He reworked the song as `` Bang Bang Bang Bang '' for his Live at Soledad Prison album , as a South Side Chicago street musician in the film The Blues Brothers ( but the song itself is not included in the film soundtrack ) , and as the title track for his 1992 album Boom Boom with Jimmie Vaughan . The Animals version ( edit ) `` Boom Boom '' Single by The Animals from the album The Animals B - side `` Blue Feeling '' Released November 1964 ( 1964 - 11 ) Format 7 - inch 45 rpm record Recorded January 1964 Genre Blues rock Length 2 : 57 Label MGM Songwriter ( s ) John Lee Hooker Producer ( s ) Mickie Most The Animals singles chronology `` I 'm Crying '' ( 1964 ) `` Boom Boom '' ( 1964 ) `` Do n't Let Me Be Misunderstood '' ( 1965 ) `` I 'm Crying '' ( 1964 ) `` Boom Boom '' ( 1964 ) `` Do n't Let Me Be Misunderstood '' ( 1965 ) English rock band the Animals recorded `` Boom Boom '' for their 1964 UK debut album The Animals . Their blues - rock rendition generally follows John Lee Hooker 's original , although they add `` shake it baby '' as a response to the `` come on and shake '' refrain in the middle section , taken from Hooker 's `` Shake It Baby '' ( recorded during the 1962 American Folk Blues Festival tour in Europe , where it became a hit in 1963 ) . The Animals ' version was released as a single in North America in November 1964 . It reached number 43 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 14 on the RPM Top 40&5 singles chart . The song was also released in Australia and India and is included on the Animals ' second American album The Animals on Tour as well as various compilation albums ( sometimes with the twelve - bar guitar solo edited out ) . Over the years , several versions of `` Boom Boom '' have been recorded by various Animals reunion lineups as well as by former members Eric Burdon and Alan Price . In 2012 , the original 1964 version was used in the film Skyfall . Recognition and legacy ( edit ) In 1995 , John Lee Hooker 's `` Boom Boom '' was included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 's list of `` The Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll '' . It was inducted into the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame in 2009 in the `` Classics of Blues Recording '' category . A Detroit Free Press poll in 2016 ranked the song at number 37 in `` Detroit 's 100 Greatest Songs '' . A variety of artists have recorded the song , including : Rufus Thomas , Mae West , Shadows of Knight , CCS , Dr. Feelgood , Tony Joe White , Disco Tex and the Sex - O - Lettes , Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band , Big Head Todd and the Monsters ( whose version was chosen in 2014 as the theme song for NCIS : New Orleans , and is played at Carolina Panthers home games when a touchdown is scored ) and the Oak Ridge Boys . `` Boom Boom '' was the first studio recording by Eric Clapton , who recorded it as a demo with the Yardbirds in 1963 , and which was released as a single in the Netherlands and Germany in 1966 . ZZ Top later used similar lines ( `` how - how - how - how '' ) to those found in `` Boom Boom '' , on `` La Grange '' . References ( edit ) ^ Jump up to : Murray , Charles Shaar ( 2002 ) .

"\"Boom Boom\" is a song written by American blues singer/guitarist John Lee Hooker and recorded in 1961.

Under this model , a state 's government is divided into branches , each with separate and independent powers and areas of responsibility so that the powers of one branch are not in conflict with the powers associated with the other branches . The typical division is into three branches : a legislature , an executive , and a judiciary , which is the trias politica model . It can be contrasted with the fusion of powers in some parliamentary systems where the executive and legislative branches overlap . Separation of powers , therefore , refers to the division of responsibilities into distinct branches to limit any one branch from exercising the core functions of another . The intent of separation of powers is to prevent the concentration of unchecked power and to provide for checks and balances to avoid autocracy or inefficiencies . The separation of powers model is often imprecisely and metonymically used interchangeably with the trias politica principle . While the trias politica is a common type of this form , it is not its only type .

In the Roman Republic , the Roman Senate , Consuls and the Assemblies showed an example of a mixed government according to Polybius ( Histories , Book 6 , 11 -- 13 ) . Early modern biparty systems ( edit ) John Calvin ( 1509 -- 1564 ) favoured a system of government that divided political power between democracy and aristocracy ( mixed government ) . Calvin appreciated the advantages of democracy , stating : `` It is an invaluable gift if God allows a people to elect its own government and magistrates . '' In order to reduce the danger of misuse of political power , Calvin suggested setting up several political institutions which should complement and control each other in a system of checks and balances . In this way , Calvin and his followers resisted political absolutism and furthered the growth of democracy . Calvin aimed to protect the rights and the well - being of ordinary people . In 1620 , a group of English separatist Congregationalists and Anglicans ( later known as the Pilgrim Fathers ) founded Plymouth Colony in North America . Enjoying self - rule , they established a bipartite democratic system of government . The `` freemen '' elected the General Court , which functioned as legislature and judiciary and which in turn elected a governor , who together with his seven `` assistants '' served in the functional role of providing executive power . Massachusetts Bay Colony ( founded 1628 ) , Rhode Island ( 1636 ) , Connecticut ( 1636 ) , New Jersey , and Pennsylvania had similar constitutions -- they all separated political powers . ( Except for Plymouth Colony and Massachusetts Bay Colony , these English outposts added religious freedom to their democratic systems , an important step towards the development of human rights . ) Books like William Bradford 's History of Plymoth Plantation ( written between 1630 and 1651 ) were widely read in England . So the form of government in the colonies was well known in the mother country , including to the philosopher John Locke ( 1632 -- 1704 ) . He deduced from a study of the English constitutional system the advantages of dividing political power into the legislative ( which should be distributed among several bodies , for example , the House of Lords and the House of Commons ) , on the one hand , and the executive and federative power , responsible for the protection of the country and prerogative of the monarch , on the other hand . ( The Kingdom of England had no written constitution . ) Montesquieu 's separation of powers system ( edit ) Montesquieu The term `` tripartite system '' is commonly ascribed to French Enlightenment political philosopher Baron de Montesquieu , although he did not use such a term . In reality he referred to `` distribution '' of powers . In The Spirit of the Laws ( 1748 ) , Montesquieu described the various forms of distribution of political power among a legislature , an executive , and a judiciary . Montesquieu 's approach was to present and defend a form of government which was not excessively centralized in all its powers to a single monarch or similar ruler , form of government known then as `` aristocracy '' . He based this model on the Constitution of the Roman Republic and the British constitutional system . Montesquieu took the view that the Roman Republic had powers separated so that no one could usurp complete power . In the British constitutional system , Montesquieu discerned a separation of powers among the monarch , Parliament , and the courts of law . In every government there are three sorts of power : the legislative ; the executive in respect to things dependent on the law of nations ; and the executive in regard to matters that depend on the civil law . By virtue of the first , the prince or magistrate enacts temporary or perpetual laws , and amends or abrogates those that have been already enacted . By the second , he makes peace or war , sends or receives embassies , establishes the public security , and provides against invasions . By the third , he punishes criminals , or determines the disputes that arise between individuals . The latter we shall call the judiciary power , and the other , simply , the executive power of the state . -- The Spirit of the Laws , Book XI Montesquieu argues that each Power should only exercise its own functions , it was quite explicit here : When the legislative and executive powers are united in the same person , or in the same body of magistrates , there can be no liberty ; because apprehensions may arise , lest the same monarch or senate should enact tyrannical laws , to execute them in a tyrannical manner . Again , there is no liberty if the judiciary power be not separated from the legislative and executive . Were it joined with the legislative , the life and liberty of the subject would be exposed to arbitrary control ; for the judge would be then the legislator . Were it joined to the executive power , the judge might behave with violence and oppression . There would be an end of every thing , were the same man , or the same body , whether of the nobles or of the people , to exercise those three powers , that of enacting laws , that of executing the public resolutions , and of trying the causes of individuals . -- The Spirit of the Laws , Book XI Separation of powers requires a different source of legitimization , or a different act of legitimization from the same source , for each of the separate powers . If the legislative branch appoints the executive and judicial powers , as Montesquieu indicated , there will be no separation or division of its powers , since the power to appoint carries with it the power to revoke . The executive power ought to be in the hands of a monarch , because this branch of government , having need of dispatch , is better administered by one than by many : on the other hand , whatever depends on the legislative power , is oftentimes better regulated by many than by a single person . But , if there were no monarch , and the executive power should be committed to a certain number of persons , selected from the legislative body , there would be an end of liberty , by reason the two powers would be united ; as the same persons would sometimes possess , and would be always able to possess , a share in both . -- The Spirit of the Laws , Book XI Montesquieu did actually specify that the independence of the judiciary has to be real , and not merely apparent . The judiciary was generally seen as the most important of the three powers , independent and unchecked , while also likely to claim to be the least dangerous one . Checks and balances ( edit ) The examples and perspective in this article deal primarily with the United States and do 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 2018 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Checks and balances is the principle that each of the Branches has the power to limit or check the other two and this creates a balance between the three separate powers of the state , this principle induces that the ambitions of one branch prevent that one of the other branches become supreme , and thus be eternally confronting each other and in that process leaving the people free from government abuses . Checks and Balances are designed to maintain the system of separation of powers keeping each branch in its place . This is based on the idea that it is not enough to separate the powers and guarantee their independence but to give the various branches the constitutional means to defend their own legitimate powers from the encroachments of the other branches . They guarantee that the powers of the State have the same weight ( co-equal ) , that is , to be balanced , so that they can limit each other , avoiding the abuse of state power . the origin of checks and balances , like separation of powers itself , is specifically credited to Montesquieu in the Enlightenment ( in The Spirit of the Laws , 1748 ) , under this influence was implemented in 1787 in the Constitution of the United States . The following example of the separation of powers and their mutual checks and balances for the experience of the United States Constitution is presented as illustrative of the general principles applied in similar forms of government as well . `` But the great security against a gradual concentration of the several powers in the same department , consists in giving to those who administer each department the necessary constitutional means and personal motives to resist encroachments of the others . The provision for defense must in this , as in all other cases , be made commensurate to the danger of attack . Ambition must be made to counteract ambition . The interest of the man must be connected with the constitutional rights of the place . It may be a reflection on human nature , that such devices should be necessary to control the abuses of government . But what is government itself , but the greatest of all reflections on human nature ? If men were angels , no government would be necessary . If angels were to govern men , neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary . In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men , the great difficulty lies in this : you must first enable the government to control the governed ; and in the next place oblige it to control itself . '' `` A dependence on the people is , no doubt , the primary control on the government ; but experience has taught mankind the necessity of auxiliary precautions . This policy of supplying , by opposite and rival interests , the defect of better motives , might be traced through the whole system of human affairs , private as well as public . We see it particularly displayed in all the subordinate distributions of power , where the constant aim is to divide and arrange the several offices in such a manner as that each may be a check on the other that the private interest of every individual may be a sentinel over the public rights . These inventions of prudence can not be less requisite in the distribution of the supreme powers of the State .

The amount of discretion depends upon the standard of review , determined by the type of case in question . Comparison between tripartite and bipartite National systems ( edit ) Constitutions with a high degree of separation of powers are found worldwide . The UK system is distinguished by a particular entwining of powers . A number of Latin American countries have electoral branches of government . Countries with little separation of power include New Zealand and Canada . Canada makes limited use of separation of powers in practice , although in theory it distinguishes between branches of government . New Zealand 's constitution is based on the principle of separation of powers through a series of constitutional safeguards , many of which are tacit . The Executive 's ability to carry out decisions often depends on the Legislature , which is elected under the mixed member proportional system . This means the government is rarely a single party but a coalition of parties . The Judiciary is also free of government interference . If a series of judicial decisions result in an interpretation of the law which the Executive considers does not reflect the intention of the policy , the Executive can initiate changes to the legislation in question through the Legislature . The Executive can not direct or request a judicial officer to revise or reconsider a decision ; decisions are final . Should there be a dispute between the Executive and Judiciary , the Executive has no authority to direct the Judiciary , or its individual members and vice versa . Complete separation of powers systems are almost always presidential , although theoretically this need not be the case . There are a few historical exceptions , such as the Directoire system of revolutionary France . Switzerland offers an example of non-Presidential separation of powers today : It is run by a seven - member executive branch , the Federal Council . However , some might argue that Switzerland does not have a strong separation of powers system , as the Federal Council is appointed by parliament ( but not dependent on parliament ) and although the judiciary has no power of review , the judiciary is still separate from the other branches . Typical branches ( edit ) executive legislative judicial Additional branches ( edit ) auditory electoral -- in which election commissions , tribunals or courts are maintained separately from other branches prosecutory civil service commission Three branches ( edit ) Australia ( edit ) Main article : Separation of powers in Australia Australia does not maintain a strict separation between the legislative and executive branches of government -- indeed , government ministers are required to be members of parliament -- but the federal judiciary strictly guards its independence from the other two branches . However , under influence from the American constitution , the Australian constitution does define the three branches of government separately , and this has been interpreted by the judiciary to induce an implicit separation of powers . State governments have a similar level of separation of power , but this is generally on the basis of convention , rather than constitution . Austria ( edit ) Hans Kelsen was the principal author of the tripartite Constitution of Austria . The Constitution of Austria was originally written by Hans Kelsen , the prominent constitutional scholar in Europe at that time . Kelsen was to serve as a part of the judicial court of review for Austria as part of its tripartite government . Czech Republic ( edit ) Main article : Constitution of the Czech Republic The Constitution of the Czech Republic , adopted in 1992 immediately before the dissolution of Czechoslovakia , establishes the traditional tripartite division of powers and continues the tradition of its predecessor constitutions . The Czechoslovak Constitution of 1920 , which replaced the provisional constitution adopted by the newly independent state in 1918 , was modeled after the constitutions of established democracies such as those of the United Kingdom , United States and France , and maintained this division , as have subsequent changes to the constitution that followed in 1948 with the Ninth - of - May Constitution , the 1960 Constitution of Czechoslovakia as well as the Constitutional Act on the Czechoslovak Federation of 1968 . Denmark ( edit ) Main articles : Constitution of Denmark and Government of Denmark Parliament -- legislature Prime Minister , Cabinet , Government Departments and Civil Service -- executive High Courts and lower courts -- judiciary France ( edit ) Main article : Political system of France According to the Constitution of the Fifth Republic , the government of France is divided up into three branches : Executive . This includes the popularly elected president as well as the prime minister and cabinet . The French Prime minister is nominated by the president , but the government is responsible to the lower house of the legislature , the National Assembly . Legislature . A bicameral legislature that includes the Senate ( upper house ) and the National Assembly ( lower house ) . The relationship between the two houses is asymmetric , meaning that in case of dispute , the National Assembly has the final word according to Article 45 of the Constitution . Judiciary . This includes the judicial and administrative orders . It also includes a constitutional court . Hong Kong ( edit ) Hong Kong is a Special Administrative Region established in 1997 pursuant to the Sino - British Joint Declaration , an international treaty made between Britain and China in 1984 , registered with the United Nations . Currently , Hong Kong has three branches of government as codified in the Basic Law , its constitution , which largely preserved political structures of the British colonial era , under the doctrine of one country , two systems : Legislative Council -- legislature Government -- executive Judiciary ( Court of Final Appeal and other courts and tribunals ) -- judiciary The Chief Executive , elected by a 1200 - member Election Committee which historically was dominated by pro-Beijing establishment members , is both head of the region and head of government , and chairs the Executive Council which is composed of `` unofficial '' members and government secretaries . The legislature consists of 70 members , 35 of whom are elected by `` functional '' constituencies represented by members within various industries rather than the public at large . Separation of power between executive and legislature is , therefore , questionable . The courts frequently exercise a power of judicial review of administrative actions and also decide matters of constitutionality of legislation , though this power is circumscribed under the power of the People 's Republic of China 's National People 's Congress to make final determinations as to interpretation . Hence , the separation of powers is again structurally weak . It is worth noting that the branches ' separation of power may not be intended within the Hong Kong Basic Law as leaders of the PRC have publicly called for the three branches to cooperate and be led by the Chief Executive . Further , Deng Xiaoping was quoted to have categorically dismissed Hong Kong having a `` Trias Politica '' system . India ( edit ) Main articles : Lawmaking procedure in India , Constitution of India , and Supreme Court of India India follows constitutional democracy which offers a clear separation of powers . The judiciary branch is fairly independent of the other two branches with the power to interpret the constitution . Parliament has the legislative powers . Executive powers are vested with the President who is advised by the Union Council of Ministers headed by the Prime Minister . The constitution of India vested the duty of protecting , preserving and defending the constitution with the President as common head of the executive , parliament , armed forces , etc. not only for the union government but also the various state governments in a federal structure . All three branches have `` checks and balances '' over each other to maintain the balance of power and not to exceed the constitutional limits . President can set aside a law passed by the legislative or an advise given by the Union Council of Ministers when it is inconsistent with the constitution of India . Even president accepts a law passed duly by the legislative , it can be repealed by the Supreme Court after a fair trial if it is against the Basic structure of the constitution . Any citizen of India can approach the Supreme Court directly to repeal the unconstitutional laws made by the legislative or executive . President can be impeached after conducting a fair trial by the parliament for his unconstitutional orders / decisions . President can be asked to step down by the judiciary for his unconstitutional orders / decisions on the grounds of losing eligibility criteria of the president . Parliament can impeach judges of Supreme Court and High Courts of states for their incompetence and mala fides . Higher bench of judges can set aside the incorrect judgements of smaller bench of judges to uphold the constitution . Iran ( edit ) Main article : Government of Islamic Republic of Iran § Political Structure Government -- Executive The legislature of Islamic Republic of Iran -- Legislative Judicial system -- Judicial Italy ( edit ) Main article : Constitution of Italy In Italy the powers are separated , even though the Council of Ministers needs a vote of confidence from both chambers of Parliament , that represents a large number of members ( almost 1,000 ) . Like every parliamentary form of government , there is no real separation between Legislature and Executive , rather a continuum between them due to the confidence link . By the way , the balance is protected by Constitution also between these two branches . and , obviously , between them and the judiciary branch , which is really independent . Malaysia ( edit ) Main articles : Constitution of Malaysia and Government of Malaysia Parliament -- legislature Prime Minister , Cabinet , Government Departments and Civil Service -- executive Federal Courts and lower courts -- judiciary Nepal ( edit ) Main articles : Constitution of Nepal and Government of Nepal Legislative Parliament -- Legislature Prime Minister , Cabinet of Minister and Government Departments -- Executive Supreme Court -- Judiciary Norway ( edit ) Main articles : Constitution of Norway , Government of Norway , and Politics of Norway Parliament -- legislature Prime Minister , Cabinet of Norway , Government Departments and Civil Service -- executive High Courts and lower courts -- judiciary A note on the status of separation of power , checks and balances , and balance of power in Norway today . In the original constitution of 1814 the Montesquieu concept was enshrined , and the people at the time had the same skepticism about political parties as the American founding fathers and the revolutionaries in France . Nor did people really want to get rid of the king and the Council of State ( privy council ) . King and council was a known concept that people had lived with for a long time and was for the most part comfortable with . The 1814 constitution came about as a reaction to external events , most notable the Treaty of Kiel see 1814 in Norway . There was no revolution against the current powers that had been be the case in the US and France . As there was no election of the executive , the king reigned supremely independent in selecting the members of the Council of State , no formal political parties formed util the 1880s . A conflict between the executive and legislature started developing in the 1870s and climaxed with the legislature impeaching the entire Council of State in 1884 . ( See Statsrådssaken ( Norwegian Wikipedia page ) ) With this came a switch to a parliamentary system of government and while the full process takes decades , it has led to a system of parliamentary sovereignty where the Montesquieu idea of separation of powers is technically dead even though the three branches remain important institutions . This does not mean that there are no checks and balances . With the introduction of a parliamentary system , political parties started to form quickly and this led to a call for electoral reform that saw the introduction of a Party - list proportional representation in 1918 . The peculiarities of the Norwegian election system generate 6 -- 8 parties and make it extremely difficult for a single party to gain an absolute majority . It has only occurred for a brief period in the aftermath of World War II where the Labour Party had an absolute majority . A multi-party system parliament that must either form a minority executive or a coalition executive function as a perfectly good system of checks and balances even if it was never a stated goal for the introduction of multiparty system . The multiparty system came about in response to a public outcry of having too few parties and a general feeling of a lack of representation . For this reason you 'll find very little on the topic of separation of powers or checks and balances in the works of Norwegian political sciences today . Pakistan ( edit ) Main articles : Constitution of Pakistan and Government of Pakistan Parliament -- Legislative Prime Minister and his Cabinet -- Executive Supreme Court and lower courts -- Judicial United Kingdom ( edit ) Main article : Separation of powers in the United Kingdom Parliament -- legislature Prime Minister , Cabinet , Government Departments and Civil Service -- executive Courts -- judiciary The development of the British constitution , which is not a codified document , is based on this fusion in the person of the Monarch , who has a formal role to play in the legislature ( Parliament , which is where legal and political sovereignty lies , is the Crown - in - Parliament , and is summoned and dissolved by the Sovereign who must give his or her Royal Assent to all Bills so that they become Acts ) , the executive ( the Sovereign appoints all ministers of His / Her Majesty 's Government , who govern in the name of the Crown ) and the judiciary ( the Sovereign , as the fount of justice , appoints all senior judges , and all public prosecutions are brought in his or her name ) . Although the doctrine of separation of power plays a role in the United Kingdom 's constitutional doctrine , the UK constitution is often described as having `` a weak separation of powers '' A.V. Dicey , despite its constitution being the one to which Montesquieu originally referred . For example , in the United Kingdom , the executive forms a subset of the legislature , as did -- to a lesser extent -- the judiciary until the establishment of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom . The Prime Minister , the Chief Executive , sits as a member of the Parliament of the United Kingdom , either as a peer in the House of Lords or as an elected member of the House of Commons ( by convention , and as a result of the supremacy of the Lower House , the Prime Minister now sits in the House of Commons ) and can effectively be removed from office by a simple majority vote . Furthermore , while the courts in the United Kingdom are amongst the most independent in the world , the Law Lords , who were the final arbiters of judicial disputes in the UK sat simultaneously in the House of Lords , the upper house of the legislature , although this arrangement ceased in 2009 when the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom came into existence . Furthermore , because of the existence of Parliamentary sovereignty , while the theory of separation of powers may be studied there , a system such as that of the UK is more accurately described as a `` fusion of powers '' . Until 2005 , the Lord Chancellor fused the Legislature , Executive and Judiciary , as he was the ex officio Speaker of the House of Lords , a Government Minister who sat in Cabinet and was head of the Lord Chancellor 's Department which administered the courts , the justice system and appointed judges , and was the head of the Judiciary in England and Wales and sat as a judge on the Judicial Committee of the House of Lords , the highest domestic court in the entire United Kingdom , and the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council , the senior tribunal court for parts of the Commonwealth . The Lord Chancellor also had certain other judicial positions , including being a judge in the Court of Appeal and President of the Chancery Division . The Lord Chancellor combines other aspects of the constitution , including having certain ecclesiastical functions of the established state church , making certain church appointments , nominations and sitting as one of the thirty - three Church Commissioners . These functions remain intact and unaffected by the Constitutional Reform Act . In 2005 , the Constitutional Reform Act separated the powers with Legislative functions going to an elected Lord Speaker and the Judicial functions going to the Lord Chief Justice . The Lord Chancellor 's Department was replaced with a Ministry of Justice and the Lord Chancellor currently serves in the position of Secretary of State for Justice . The judiciary has no power to strike down primary legislation , and can only rule on secondary legislation that it is invalid with regard to the primary legislation if necessary . Under the concept of parliamentary sovereignty , Parliament can enact any primary legislation it chooses . However , the concept immediately becomes problematic when the question is asked ; `` If parliament can do anything , can it bind its successors ? '' . It is generally held that parliament can do no such thing . Equally , while statute takes precedence over precedent - derived common law and the judiciary has no power to strike down primary legislation , there are certain cases where the supreme judicature has effected an injunction against the application of an act or reliance on its authority by the civil service . The seminal example of this is the Factortame case , where the House of Lords granted such an injunction preventing the operation of the Merchant Shipping Act 1988 until litigation in the European Court of Justice had been resolved . The House of Lords ruling in Factortame ( No. 1 ) , approving the European Court of Justice formulation that `` a national court which , in a case before it concerning Community law , considers that the sole obstacle which precludes it from granting interim relief is a rule of national law , must disapply that rule '' , has created an implicit tiering of legislative reviewability ; the only way for parliament to prevent the supreme judicature from injunctively striking out a law on the basis of incompatibility with Community law is to pass an act specifically removing that power from the court , or by repealing the European Communities Act 1972 . The British legal systems are based on common law traditions , which require : Police or regulators can not initiate complaints under criminal law but can only investigate ( prosecution is mostly reserved for the Crown Prosecution Service ) , which prevents selective enforcement -- e.g. , the `` fishing expedition '' which is often specifically forbidden . Prosecutors can not withhold evidence from counsel for the defendant ; to do so results in mistrial or dismissal . Accordingly , their relation to police is no advantage . Defendants convicted can appeal , but only fresh and compelling evidence not available at trial can be introduced , restricting the power of the court of appeal to the process of law applied . United States ( edit ) Main article : Separation of powers under the United States Constitution George Washington at Constitutional Convention of 1787 , signing of U.S. Constitution Play media U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee about separation of powers and checks and balances of the U.S. Government The expression of the separation of powers was incorporated in the United States Constitution , the founding fathers included features of many new concepts , including hard - learned historical lessons about the checks and balances of power and the then - new concept of separation of powers . Similar concepts were also prominent in the state governments of the United States . As colonies of Great Britain , the founding fathers considered that the American states had suffered an abuse of the broad power of parliamentarism and monarchy . As a remedy , the US Constitution limits the powers of the federal government through various means , in particular , the three branches of the federal government are divided by exercising different functions , and are separated in origin by separate elections , each branch controls the actions of others and balances its powers in some way . In the United States Constitution , Article 1 Section I gives Congress only those `` legislative powers herein granted '' and proceeds to list those permissible actions in Article I Section 8 , while Section 9 lists actions that are prohibited for Congress . The vesting clause in Article II places no limits on the Executive branch , simply stating that , `` The Executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America . '' The Supreme Court holds `` The judicial Power '' according to Article III , and it established the implication of Judicial review in Marbury v. Madison under the Marshall court . The presidential system adopted by the Constitution of the United States obeys the balance of powers sought , and not found , by the constitutional monarchy . The people appoint their representatives to meet periodically in a legislative body , and , since they do not have a king , the people themselves elect a preeminent citizen to perform , also periodically , the executive functions of the State . The direct election of the head of state or of the executive power is an inevitable consequence of the political freedom of the people , understood as the capacity to appoint and depose their leaders . Only this separate election of the person who has to fulfill the functions that the Constitution attributes to the president of the government , so different by its nature , and by its function , from the election of representatives of the electors , allows the executive power to be controlled by the legislative and submitted to the demands of political responsibility . Judicial independence is maintained by appointments for life that makes disappear very soon any sense of dependence on the Executive , with voluntary retirement and a high threshold of dismissal by the Legislature , in addition to a salary that can not be diminished during their service . The federal government refers to the branches as `` branches of government '' , while some systems use `` government '' to describe the executive . The Executive branch has attempted to claim power arguing for separation of powers to include being the Commander in Chief of a standing army since the American Civil War , executive orders , emergency powers and security classifications since World War II , national security , signing statements , and the scope of the unitary executive . `` In order to lay a due foundation for that separate and distinct exercise of the different powers of government , which to a certain extent is admitted on all hands to be essential to the preservation of liberty , it is evident that each department should have a will of its own ; and consequently should be so constituted that the members of each should have as little agency as possible in the appointment of the members of the others . Were this principle rigorously adhered to , it would require that all the appointments for the supreme executive , legislative , and judiciary magistracies should be drawn from the same fountain of authority , the people , through channels having no communication whatever with one another . Perhaps such a plan of constructing the several departments would be less difficult in practice than it may in contemplation appear . Some difficulties , however , and some additional expense would attend the execution of it . Some deviations , therefore , from the principle must be admitted . In the constitution of the judiciary department in particular , it might be inexpedient to insist rigorously on the principle : first , because peculiar qualifications being essential in the members , the primary consideration ought to be to select that mode of choice which best secures these qualifications ; secondly , because the permanent tenure by which the appointments are held in that department , must soon destroy all sense of dependence on the authority conferring them . '' `` It is equally evident , that the members of each department should be as little dependent as possible on those of the others , for the emoluments annexed to their offices . Were the executive magistrate , or the judges , not independent of the legislature in this particular , their independence in every other would be merely nominal . '' -- James Madison , The Federalist Papers No. 51 , Other systems ( edit ) Republic of China ( edit ) Main article : Government of the Republic of China According to Sun Yat - sen 's idea of `` separation of the five powers '' , the government of the Republic of China has five branches : Executive Yuan -- led by the premier but in actuality it is the president who sets policy -- executive Legislative Yuan -- unicameral -- legislature Judicial Yuan -- its Constitutional Court ( highest ) and Supreme Court have different jurisdictions -- judiciary Control Yuan -- audit branch Examination Yuan -- civil service personnel management and human resources The president and vice president as well as the defunct National Assembly are constitutionally not part of the above five branches . Before being abolished in 2005 , the National Assembly was a standing constituent assembly and electoral college for the president and vice president . Its constitutional amending powers were passed to the legislative yuan and its electoral powers were passed to the electorate . The relationship between the executive and legislative branches are poorly defined . An example of the problems this causes is the near complete political paralysis that results when the president , who has neither the power to veto nor the ability to dissolve the legislature and call new elections , can not negotiate with the legislature when his party is in the minority . The examination and control yuans are marginal branches ; their leaders as well as the leaders of the executive and judicial yuans are appointed by the president and confirmed by the legislative yuan . The legislature is the only branch that chooses its own leadership . The vice president has practically no responsibilities . Belgium ( edit ) Belgium is currently a federated state that has imposed the trias politica on different governmental levels . The constitution of 1831 , considered one of the most liberal of its time for limiting the powers of its monarch and imposing a rigorous system of separation of powers , is based on three principles ( represented in the Schematic overview of Belgian institutions ) : Trias Politica ( horizontal separation of powers ) : The legislative power is attributed to an elected parliamentary body elected with a representative general election system ( one person one vote ) . The executive power is attributed to the Council of Ministers . Ministers are formally appointed by the King , though in practice the prime minister decides the composition of his cabinet . The ministers are usually from the elected members of parliament ( non-elected people can also be nominated ) . However , they must first resign from their elected seat . The judicial power is in the hands of the courts . Magistrates are nominated by the minister ( on proposal from a Council of the Magistrates ) . Magistrates can be nominated to become a judge ( sitting magistrates ) or instructing judge ( investigating judge ) of Procureur ( public prosecutor ) ( the standing magistrates ) . The executive branch of the government is responsible to provide the physical means to execute its role ( infrastructure , staff , financial means ) . Judges and some other people can not run for elected office while they are nominated to certain positions ( military , police - officers , clergy , notaries , bailiffs ) . Subsidiarity ( vertical separation of powers ) : Supranational directives ( EU legislation ) and international treaties are subjected to approval of the federal level ( the federal level being Belgium the nation state ) The federal level is composed of the following : A bicameral parliament ( House of Representative and Senate ) ( in 2014 this will be a directly elected house and an indirectly appointed Senate of the regions ) A federal government ( led by the Prime Minister and the ministers and secretaries of state ) Tasked with overseeing justice , defense , foreign affairs , and social security , public health High Court , Constitutional Court , Cassation Court and Council of State The regional level is composed of the following : A monocameral parliament A regional government led by the minister - president ( ministers and secretaries of state ) is tasked with regional matters . Provinces also have similar structures : A monocameral provincial council A nominated provincial governor assisted by deputies is tasked with provincial matters . Appellate Court , Assisses Court An intermediate level of Arrondissements subdivides the provinces it has only an executive level with an arrondissemental commissars City and communal entities : A city or communal council A mayor , assisted by aldermen , is tasked with local matters . Magistrates Court , Correctional Court ( three judges ) . Justice of the peace and Police Court judges ( single judge courts ) Secularism ( separation of state and religion ) : The king , the head of state , holds no political authority and requires executive approval by a minister for every action and statement ; he nominates the ministers but he does not choose them ( his executive powers ) ; he signs and decrees the laws voted in parliament ( his legislative powers ) ; The head of state is commander in chief of the military ( in title only ) , politically the military depends of the Minister of Defense and the chiefs of staff are responsible towards parliament and take their orders from the Minister of Defense and the government ; Certain functions are deemed incompatible and people must resign from their function if they want to assume responsibilities in another function ( military commanders have never been government ministers , even during a war ) Costa Rica ( edit ) In the aftermath of the 43 - day civil war in 1948 ( after former President and incumbent candidate Rafael Álgel Calderón Guardia tried to take power through fraud , by not recognising the results of the presidential election that he had lost ) , the question of which transformational model the Costa Rican State would follow was the main issue that confronted the victors . A Constituent Assembly was elected by popular vote to draw up a new constitution , enacted in 1949 , and remains in force . This document was an edit of the constitution of 1871 , as the constituent assembly rejected more radical corporatist ideas proposed by the ruling Junta Fundadora de la Segunda República ( which , although having come to power by military force , abolished the armed forces ) . Nonetheless , the new constitution increased centralization of power at the expense of municipalities and eliminated provincial government altogether , at the time it increased the powers of congress and the judiciary . It established the three supreme powers as the legislature , executive , and judicial branches , but also created two other autonomous state organs that have equivalent power , but not equivalent rank . The first is the Tribunal Supremo de Elecciones de Costa Rica ( electoral branch ) which controls elections and makes unique , unappealable decisions on their outcomes . The second is the office of the Comptroller General ( audit branch ) , an autonomous and independent organ nominally subordinate to the unicameral legislative assembly . All budgets of ministries and municipalities must pass through this agency , including the execution of budget items such as contracting for routine operations . The Comptroller also provides financial vigilance over government offices and office holders , and routinely brings actions to remove mayors for malfeasance , firmly establishing this organization as the fifth branch of the Republic . European Union ( edit ) The European Union is a supranational polity , and is neither a country nor a federation ; but as the EU wields political power it complies with the principle of separation of powers . There are seven institutions of the European Union . In intergovernmental matters , most power is concentrated in the Council of the European Union -- giving it the characteristics of a normal international organization . Here , all power at the EU level is in one branch . In the latter there are four main actors . The European Commission acts as an independent executive which is appointed by the Council in conjunction with the European Parliament ; but the Commission also has a legislative role as the sole initiator of EU legislation . An early maxim was : `` The Commission proposes and the Council disposes '' ; and although the EU 's lawmaking procedure is now much more complicated , this simple maxim still holds some truth . As well as both executive and legislative functions , the Commission arguably exercises a third , quasi-judicial , function under Articles 101 & 102 TFEU ( competition law ) ; although the ECJ remains the final arbiter . The European Parliament is one half of the legislative branch and is directly elected . The Council itself acts both as the second half of the legislative branch and also holds some executive functions ( some of which are exercised by the related European Council in practice ) . The European Court of Justice acts as the independent judicial branch , interpreting EU law and treaties . The remaining institution , the European Court of Auditors , is an independent audit authority ( due to the sensitive nature of fraud in the EU ) . Council of the European Union -- executive and legislative European Commission -- executive , legislative and quasi-judicial European Council -- executive European Court of Auditors -- audit Court of Justice of the European Union and the General Court -- judicial European Parliament -- legislative Germany ( edit ) The three branches in German government are further divided into six main bodies enshrined in the Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany : Federal President ( Bundespräsident ) -- formally executive , but mainly representative in daily politics Federal Cabinet ( Bundesregierung ) -- executive Federal Diet ( Bundestag ) & Federal Council ( Bundesrat ) -- bicameral legislative Federal Assembly ( Bundesversammlung ) -- presidential electoral college ( consisting of the members of the Bundestag and electors from the constituent states ) Federal Constitutional Court ( Bundesverfassungsgericht ) -- judiciary Besides the constitutional court the judicial branch at the federal level is made up of five supreme courts -- one for civil and criminal cases ( Bundesgerichtshof ) , and one each for administrative , tax , labour , and social security issues . There are also state ( Länder / Bundesländer ) based courts beneath them , and a rarely used senate of the supreme courts . Hungary ( edit ) This article 's factual accuracy may be compromised due to out - of - date information . Please update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information . ( August 2014 ) The four independent branches of power in Hungary ( the parliament , the government , the court system , and the office of the public accuser ) are divided into six bodies : Parliament ( Magyar Országgyűlés ) : elected every 4 years by the people in a highly complex , one - round voting system Government ( Magyar Kormány ) : installed and removed by 50 % + 1 basic majority vote of the parliament , 4 - year terms Supreme Court ( Legfelsőbb Bíróság ) : Chief justice elected by qualified ( 2 / 3 ) majority of the parliament , no government oversight Constitutional court ( Alkotmánybíróság ) : members elected by qualified majority of the parliament for 8 years , this body nullifies laws and has no government oversight . Chief public accuser ( Legfőbb ügyész ) : elected by qualified majority of the parliament , 6 - year terms , office budget fixed , no government oversight . The President of the Republic ( Köztársasági Elnök ) is elected by qualified majority of the Hungarian parliament for 5 - year terms ( can not be reelected more than once ) . The President 's task is to oversee the functioning of the democracy . Most of his / her powers are ceremonial only : like signing laws into power and commanding the military in time of peace . But before signing , once he / she can also return accepted bills with advices to the Parliament for reconsideration , he / she can also request nullification in advance from the Constitutional Court . He can negotiate with civil / professional unions regarding the bills . Without the President 's permission , the country can neither declare war nor deploy the armed forces . The independent pillar status of the Hungarian public accuser 's office is a unique construction , loosely modeled on the system Portugal introduced after the 1974 victory of the Carnation Revolution . The public accuser ( attorney general ) body has become the fourth column of Hungarian democracy only in recent times : after communism fell in 1989 , the office was made independent by a new clausule XI. of the Constitution . The change was meant to prevent abuse of state power , especially with regards to the use of false accusations against opposition politicians , who may be excluded from elections if locked in protracted or excessively severe court cases . To prevent the Hungarian accuser 's office from neglecting its duties , natural human private persons can submit investigation requests , called `` pótmagánvád '' directly to the courts , if the accusers ' office refuses to do its job . Courts will decide if the allegations have merit and order police to act in lieu of the accuser 's office if warranted . In its decision No. 42 / 2005 the Hungarian constitutional court declared that the government does not enjoy such privilege and the state is powerless to further pursue cases if the public accuser refuses to do so . Quadripartite systems ( edit ) The Empire of Brazil had , in addition to the three traditional powers , the moderating power , which was exercised solely by the Emperor , and which function was resolving conflicts between the other powers .

Compound or mixed governments reflect the reality that human frailty justifies and necessitates institutional checks and balances to the magistrate 's presumed propensity to abuse power . It was this commitment to checks and balances that became the basis of Calvin 's resistance theory , according to which inferior magistrates have a duty to resist or restrain a tyrannical sovereign .

"Checks and balances is the principle that each of the Branches has the power to limit or check the other two and this creates a balance between the three separate powers of the state, this principle induces that the ambitions of one branch prevent that one of the other branches become supreme, and thus be eternally confronting each other and in that process leaving the people free from government abuses. Checks and Balances are designed to maintain the system of separation of powers keeping each branch in its place. This is based on the idea that it is not enough to separate the powers and guarantee their independence but to give the various branches the constitutional means to defend their own legitimate powers from the encroachments of the other branches.[15] They guarantee that the powers of the State have the same weight (co-equal), that is, to be balanced, so that they can limit each other, avoiding the abuse of state power. the origin of checks and balances, like separation of powers itself, is specifically credited to Montesquieu in the Enlightenment (in The Spirit of the Laws, 1748), under this influence was implemented in 1787 in the Constitution of the United States."

Rapper Pusha T revealed his involvement with the song in June 2016 and claimed that he had created the `` I 'm Lovin ' It '' jingle .

Please help improve it by removing unnecessary details and making it more concise . ( July 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Dr. R.J. ( Roscoe ) Stevens ( Martin Lawrence ) is a talk - show sensation who has discarded his simple Southern awkward - boy past and the awkward boy he used to be to dispense motivational advice to millions of adoring fans . With reality TV series Survivor winner , Bianca Kittles ( Joy Bryant ) on his arm and enough cash in his pocket to easily afford expensive gifts for his parents , he feels like there 's nothing he has n't achieved . When his parents request that he come home for their 50th wedding anniversary , R.J. packs up his 10 - year - old son , Jamaal ( Damani Roberts ) and his fiancée , Bianca and heads back to his sleepy Southern hometown . Ready to impress his down - home kin with how much he 's changed , R.J. will prove he 's no longer the walking disaster they used to pick on . When they arrive in Georgia , he is first greeted by his pick pocketing cousin , Reggie ( Mike Epps ) , who asks him for $300 to buy ice for the family barbecue . At the family home , Roscoe is greeted by his parents , Roscoe Sr. ( James Earl Jones ) and Mama Jenkins ( Margaret Avery ) ; his brother , Otis ( Michael Clarke Duncan ) , the town sheriff ; Otis ' wife , Ruthie ( Liz Mikel ) and their overgrown kids , Junior ( Brandin Jenkins ) and Callie ( Krystal Marea Braud ) ; and Roscoe 's loud , rowdy sister , Betty ( Mo'Nique ) . Before long , Roscoe 's cousin , Clyde ( Cedric the Entertainer ) drops in , bringing the old spark of competition with Roscoe , he is also escorting Lucinda ( Nicole Ari Parker ) , a past love interest of Roscoe 's . During the visit , Roscoe endures much self - humiliation such as accidentally hitting his mother in the head with a softball during a softball game , getting beaten up by Otis and Betty after he insults them , constantly getting blackmailed by Reggie , and getting sprayed by a skunk while sleeping . It becomes obvious that he still holds a grudge against his father for how he treated him when he was younger such as showing such preference for Clyde that he would n't even fully discipline him . Roscoe Sr. resents his son for changing his name and distancing himself from his family . Meanwhile , Bianca does n't fit in well with the family and Roscoe and Lucinda get reacquainted . On the day of the Jenkins ' anniversary , the whole family gathers for the traditional Jenkins - family obstacle course . Roscoe is determined to defeat Clyde when he challenges him and the two become even more competitive . As the race begins , Roscoe and Clyde aggressively make their way through the obstacles , sometimes hurting themselves and other contestants . While climbing over a wall with ropes , Roscoe begins to help his son over , but Bianca tells him to leave him and he does , much to his parents ' shock . Roscoe and Clyde race to the finish line , and Roscoe wins . As Bianca cheers for him , Roscoe , overjoyed by the victory , begins to berate everyone reminding them that it is all about `` the team of me '' ( him ) . The family is angry about his actions during the obstacle course , Jamaal refuses to go near his father , and Roscoe Sr. chastises his son . Unable to contain his resentment , Roscoe lashes out at his father , saying that although Clyde 's father died , he Roscoe felt he lost his father because he favored Clyde over him and chastises him for always crediting Clyde for things he 's done while never acknowledging any of his successes or accomplishments . Stunned and distraught by this admission , Roscoe Sr. walks away ; feeling hurt . Clyde walks up to Roscoe and says he never tried to take his place . He tries to shake Roscoe 's hand to make amends , but Bianca tells him to back off , and Roscoe decides he , Bianca , and Jamaal should start for home . Before he leaves , his mother reminds him that his family still loves him . As they drive to the airport , Bianca proposes not inviting the family to their wedding . Roscoe seems to agree , which upsets Jamaal and despite Bianca wanting him to get on board the `` Team of Me , '' he proudly declares himself a Jenkins . Bianca continues to say mean things about the Jenkins clan and Roscoe pretends to agree with her , but at the airport , he thanks her for finally letting him see her true colors and then he dumps her . Angrily , feeling humiliated by Roscoe and Jamaal , she gets out of the car . As they pull away from the airport , he pulls the rope holding her bags on top of the car ; dumping them into the airport driveway . Roscoe and Jamaal head back to the family home ; keeping Bianca 's pet Pomeranian Fifi , who had turned against Bianca and joined the Jenkins clan to pursue a relationship with the family 's over-aged dog , Bucky ( 25 in dog years = 175 in human years ) . During the anniversary celebration , Clyde cries during his speech for Mama and Papa Jenkins ; admitting that he cared a lot about Roscoe . Roscoe suddenly appears , apologizes to his family , and congratulates his parents . He and his father make amends , then Roscoe asks Lucinda to dance . After the celebration , the family watches it on a hi - def television while Roscoe and Lucinda make love -- but find a nasty surprise ( Bucky and Fifi in his bedroom having had intercourse like before ) . During the credits , Roscoe is seen interviewing his family on his show , renamed The Roscoe Jenkins Show .

-5504280332309117628 | KFC Original Recipe | KFC Original recipe - wikipedia KFC Original recipe Jump to : navigation , search KFC Original Recipe chicken The KFC Original Recipe is the secret mix of ingredients that fast food restaurant chain KFC uses to produce fried chicken . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Reception 3 Recipe 4 References History ( edit ) By the late 1930s , Harland Sanders ' Corbin , Kentucky gas station was so well known for his fried chicken , that Sanders decided to remove the gas pumps and build a restaurant and motel in its place . While perfecting his secret recipe with 11 herbs and spices , Sanders found that pan frying chicken was too slow , requiring 30 minutes per order . French frying the chicken in a wire basket immersed in deep fat required half the time , but produced dry , unevenly done chicken . In 1939 he found that using a pressure cooker produced tasty , moist chicken in eight or nine minutes . By July 1940 Sanders finalized what came to be known as his Original Recipe . After Sanders began franchising the chicken in the 1950s as Kentucky Fried Chicken , the company shipped the spices already mixed to restaurants to preserve the recipe 's secrecy . He admitted to the use of salt and pepper in the recipe , and claimed that the ingredients `` stand on everybody 's shelf '' . Sanders used vegetable oil for frying chicken . By 1993 , for reasons of economy , many KFC outlets had chosen to use a blend of palm and soybean oil . In Japan , the oil used is mainly the more expensive cottonseed and corn oil , as KFC Japan believes that this offers superior taste quality . Reception ( edit ) Sanders ' Original Recipe of `` 11 herbs and spices '' is one of the most famous trade secrets in the catering industry . Franchisee Dave Thomas , better known as the founder of Wendy 's , argued that the secret recipe concept was successful because `` everybody wants in on a secret '' and former KFC owner John Y. Brown , Jr. called it `` a brilliant marketing ploy . '' The New York Times described the recipe as one of the company 's most valuable assets . The recipe is not patented , because patents are published in detail and come with an expiration date , whereas trade secrets can remain the intellectual property of their holders in perpetuity . KFC uses its Original Recipe as a means to differentiate its product from its competitors . Early franchisee Pete Harman credited the chain 's popularity to the recipe and the product , and John Y. Brown cites the `` incredibly tasty , almost addictive '' product as the basis of KFC 's staying power . On the other hand , Allen Adamson , managing director of brand consultancy Landor , remains unconvinced about the contribution of the secret formula aspect . He argues : `` The story may still be part of these companies ' folklore , but I 'd be surprised if more than 2 percent buy the brand because of it . '' Recipe ( edit ) A copy of the recipe , signed by Sanders , is held inside a safe inside a vault in KFC 's Louisville headquarters , along with eleven vials containing the herbs and spices . To maintain the secrecy of the recipe , half of it is produced by Griffith Laboratories before it is given to McCormick , who add the second half . In 1983 , William Poundstone conducted laboratory research into the coating mix , as described in his book Big Secrets , and claimed that a sample he examined contained only flour , salt , monosodium glutamate and black pepper . KFC maintains that it still adheres to Sanders ' original 1940 recipe . In Todd Wilbur 's television program Top Secret Recipe , the Colonel 's former secretary , Shirley Topmiller , revealed that Sanders learned from his mother that sage and savory are good seasonings for chicken . Also , Winston Shelton , a former friend of the Colonel 's , revealed that the secret recipe contains Tellicherry black pepper . It is well attested that Harland Sanders asked Bill Summers of Marion - Kay Spices in Brownstown , Indiana , US to recreate his secret blend of 11 herbs and spices . While alive , Sanders recommended the Marion - Kay seasoning to franchisees over the corporate version , as he believed the latter had been made inferior by its owners . In 1982 , after Sanders ' death , KFC brought a lawsuit against Marion - Kay and the latter was barred from selling its mixture to KFC franchises . The Marion - Kay seasoning is still sold under the name `` 99 - X , '' and according to Sanders biographer Josh Ozersky , it is indistinguishable from the original KFC recipe . In August 2016 , the Chicago Tribune reported that Joe Ledington of Kentucky , a nephew by marriage of Colonel Sanders , had claimed to have found a copy of the original KFC fried chicken recipe on a handwritten piece of paper in an envelope in a scrapbook . Tribune staffers conducted a cooking test of this recipe , which took several attempts to get right . They had to determine whether the `` Ts '' meant tablespoons or teaspoons , and soon concluded the correct interpretation was tablespoons . After some trial and error , they decided the chicken should be soaked in buttermilk and coated once in the breading mixture , then fried in oil at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until golden brown . They claimed that with the addition of MSG as a flavor enhancer , they could produce fried chicken which tasted `` indistinguishable '' from fried chicken they had purchased at KFC . The recipe found by Joe Ledington reads as follows : 11 Spices -- Mix With 2 Cups White Fl . 2 / 3 Ts Salt 1 / 2 Ts Thyme 1 / 2 Ts Basil 1 / 3 Ts Oregano 1 Ts Celery salt 1 Ts Black pepper 1 Ts Dried mustard 4 Ts Paprika 2 Ts Garlic salt 1 Ts Ground ginger 3 Ts White pepper While Ledington expressed uncertainty that the recipe was in fact the Original Recipe , he had a hand in mixing the Original Recipe for Colonel Sanders when he was a young boy , and recalled that white pepper was a principal ingredient .

3924408238859057988 | United States presidential line of succession | United States Presidential line of succession - wikipedia United States Presidential line of succession Jump to : navigation , search The United States presidential line of succession is the order in which persons may become or act as President of the United States if the incumbent President becomes incapacitated , dies , resigns , or is removed from office ( by impeachment by the House of Representatives and subsequent conviction by the Senate ) . The line of succession is set by the United States Constitution and the Presidential Succession Act of 1947 as subsequently amended to include newly created cabinet offices . The succession follows the order of Vice President , Speaker of the House of Representatives , President pro tempore of the Senate , and then the heads of federal executive departments who form the Cabinet of the United States . The Cabinet currently has fifteen members , beginning with the Secretary of State , and followed by the rest in the order of their positions ' creation . Those heads of department who are ineligible to act as President are also ineligible to succeed the President by succession , for example most commonly if they are not a natural - born U.S. citizen . Several constitutional law experts have raised questions as to the constitutionality of the provisions that the Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate succeed to the presidency , and in 2003 the Continuity of Government Commission raised a number of other issues with the current line of succession .

See Acting officers below . Jump up ^ Not a natural - born citizen ( acquired U.S. citizenship by naturalization ) and thus ineligible for the Presidency . Cabinet officers are in line according to the chronological order of their department 's creation or the department of which their department is the successor ( the Department of Defense being successor to the Department of War , and the Department of Health and Human Services being successor to the Department of Health , Education and Welfare ) . Eligibility ( edit ) Eligibility requirements ( edit ) To be eligible to serve as President , a person must be a natural - born U.S. citizen , at least 35 years of age , and a resident within the United States for at least 14 years . These eligibility requirements are specified both in the U.S. Constitution , Article II , Section 1 , Clause 5 , and in the Presidential Succession Act of 1947 ( 3 U.S.C. § 19 ( e ) ) . Acting officers ( edit ) Acting officers may be eligible . In 2009 , the Continuity of Government Commission , a private non-partisan think tank , reported , The language in the current Presidential Succession Act is less clear than that of the 1886 Act with respect to Senate confirmation . The 1886 Act refers to `` such officers as shall have been appointed by the advice and consent of the Senate to the office therein named ... '' The current act merely refers to `` officers appointed , by and with the advice and consent of the Senate . '' Read literally , this means that the current act allows for acting secretaries to be in the line of succession as long as they are confirmed by the Senate for a post ( even for example , the second or third in command within a department ) . It is common for a second in command to become acting secretary when the secretary leaves office . Though there is some dispute over this provision , the language clearly permits acting secretaries to be placed in the line of succession . ( We have spoken to acting secretaries who told us they had been placed in the line of succession . ) Motivation for changes to the succession in 1945 ( edit ) Two months after succeeding Franklin D. Roosevelt , President Harry S. Truman proposed that the Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate be granted priority in the line of succession over the Cabinet so as to ensure the President would not be able to appoint his successor to the Presidency . The Secretary of State and the other Cabinet officials are appointed by the President , while the Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate are elected officials . The Speaker is chosen by the U.S. House of Representatives , and every Speaker has been a member of that body for the duration of their term as Speaker , though this is not technically a requirement ; the President pro tempore is chosen by the U.S. Senate and customarily the Senator of the majority party with the longest record of continuous service fills this position . The Congress approved this change and inserted the Speaker and President pro tempore in line , ahead of the members of the Cabinet in the order in which their positions were established . In his speech supporting the changes , Truman noted that the House of Representatives is more likely to be in political agreement with the President and Vice President than the Senate . The succession of a Republican to a Democratic Presidency would further complicate an already unstable political situation . However , when the changes to the succession were signed into law , they placed Republican House Speaker Joseph W. Martin first in the line of succession after the Vice President . Some of Truman 's critics said that his ordering of the Speaker before the President pro tempore was motivated by his dislike of the then - current holder of the latter rank , Senator Kenneth McKellar . Further motivation may have been provided by Truman 's preference for House Speaker Sam Rayburn to be next in the line of succession , rather than Secretary of State Edward R. Stettinius , Jr . Constitutional provisions ( edit ) The line of succession is mentioned in three places in the Constitution : Article II , Section 1 , Clause 6 makes the Vice President first in the line of succession and allows the Congress to provide by law for cases in which neither the President nor Vice President can serve . The current such law governing succession is the Presidential Succession Act of 1947 ( 3 U.S.C. § 19 ) . Section 3 of the 20th Amendment provides that if the President - elect dies before his term begins , the Vice President - elect becomes President on Inauguration Day and serves for the full term to which the President - elect was elected . The section also provides that if , on Inauguration Day , a president has not been chosen or the President - elect does not qualify for the presidency , the Vice President - elect acts as president until a president is chosen or the President - elect qualifies . Finally , Section 3 allows the Congress to provide by law for cases in which neither a President - elect nor a Vice President - elect is eligible or available to serve . The 25th Amendment , ratified in 1967 , clarified Article II , Section 1 : that the Vice President is the direct successor of the President . He or she becomes President if the President dies , resigns or is removed from office . The amendment also provides for the situation where the President is temporarily disabled , such as if the President has a surgical procedure or becomes mentally unfit . The amendment also provides for Vice Presidential succession , by requiring Vice Presidential vacancies to be filled by the President and confirmed by both houses of the Congress . Previously , whenever a Vice President had succeeded to the Presidency or had otherwise left the office empty ( through death , resignation , or removal from office ) , the Vice Presidency remained vacant until the next Presidential and Vice Presidential terms began . Acting President and President ( edit ) Main article : Acting President of the United States New President Lyndon Johnson was sworn in aboard Air Force One , following the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963 . Article II , Section 1 of the United States Constitution provides that : In case of the removal of the President from office , or of his death , resignation , or inability to discharge the powers and duties of the said office , the same shall devolve on the Vice President ... until the disability be removed , or a President elected . This originally left open the question whether `` the same '' refers to `` the said office '' or only `` the powers and duties of the said office . '' Some historians , including Edward Corwin and John D. Feerick , have argued that the framers ' intention was that the Vice President would remain Vice President while executing the powers and duties of the Presidency ; however , there is also much evidence to the contrary , the most compelling of which is Article I , section 3 , of the Constitution itself , the relevant text of which reads : The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate , but shall have no vote , unless they be equally divided . The Senate shall chuse ( sic ) their other officers , and also a President pro tempore , in the absence of the Vice President , or when he shall exercise the office of President of the United States . This text appears to answer the hypothetical question of whether the office or merely the powers of the Presidency devolved upon the Vice President on his succession . Thus , the 25th Amendment merely restates and reaffirms the validity of existing precedent , apart from adding new protocols for Presidential disability . Not everyone agreed with this interpretation when it was first actually tested , and it was left to Vice President John Tyler , the first presidential successor in U.S. history , to establish the precedent that was respected in the absence of the 25th Amendment . In 1841 , John Tyler became the first person to succeed to the presidency . Upon the death of President William Henry Harrison in 1841 and after a brief hesitation , Tyler took the position that he was the President and not merely acting President upon taking the presidential oath of office . However , some contempories -- including John Quincy Adams , Henry Clay and other members of Congress Whig party leaders and even Tyler 's own cabinet -- believed that he was only acting as President and did not have the office itself . Nonetheless , Tyler adhered to his position , even returning , unopened , mail addressed to the `` Acting President of the United States '' sent by his detractors. Tyler 's view ultimately prevailed when the Senate voted to accept the title `` President , '' and this precedent was followed thereafter . The question was finally resolved by Section 1 of the 25th Amendment , which specifies that `` In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation , the Vice President shall become President . '' The Amendment does not specify whether officers other than the Vice President can become President rather than Acting President in the same set of circumstances . The Presidential Succession Act refers only to other officers acting as President rather than becoming President . History of succession law set by Congress ( edit ) Presidential succession Act 1792 ( edit ) Main article : Presidential Succession Act Wikisource has original text related to this article : Presidential Succession Act 1792 The Presidential Succession Act of 1792 was the first succession law passed by Congress . The act was contentious because the Federalists did not want the then Secretary of State , Thomas Jefferson , who had become the leader of the Democratic - Republicans , to follow the Vice President in the succession . There were also separation of powers concerns over including the Chief Justice of the United States in the line . The compromise they worked out established the President pro tempore of the Senate as next in line after the Vice President , followed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives . In either case , these officers were to `` act as President of the United States until the disability be removed or a president be elected . '' The Act called for a special election to be held in November of the year in which dual vacancies occurred ( unless the vacancies occurred after the first Wednesday in October , in which case the election would occur the following year ; or unless the vacancies occurred within the last year of the presidential term , in which case the next election would take place as regularly scheduled ) . The people elected President and Vice President in such a special election would have served a full four - year term beginning on March 4 of the next year , but no such election ever took place . Presidential succession Act 1886 ( edit ) Wikisource has original text related to this article : Presidential Succession Act 1886 In 1881 , after the death of President Garfield , and in 1885 , after the death of Vice President Hendricks , there had been no President pro tempore in office , and as the new House of Representatives had yet to convene , no Speaker either , leaving no one at all in the line of succession after the vice president . When Congress convened in December 1885 , President Cleveland asked for a revision of the 1792 act , which was passed in 1886 . Congress replaced the President pro tempore and Speaker with officers of the President 's Cabinet with the Secretary of State first in line . In the first 100 years of the United States , six former Secretaries of State had gone on to be elected President , while only two congressional leaders had advanced to that office . As a result , changing the order of the line of succession seemed reasonable . Presidential succession Act 1947 ( edit ) Wikisource has original text related to this article : Presidential Succession Act 1947 The Presidential Succession Act of 1947 , signed into law by President Harry S. Truman , added the Speaker of the House and President pro tempore back in the line , but switched the two from the 1792 order . It remains the sequence used today . Since the reorganization of the military in 1947 had merged the War Department ( which governed the Army ) with the Department of the Navy into the Department of Defense , the Secretary of Defense took the place in the order of succession previously held by the Secretary of War . The office of Secretary of the Navy , which had existed as a Cabinet - level position since 1798 , had become subordinate to the Secretary of Defense in the military reorganization , and so was dropped from the line of succession in the 1947 Succession Act . Postmaster General removed 1971 ( edit ) Until 1971 , the Postmaster General , the head of the Post Office Department , was a member of the Cabinet , initially the last in the presidential line of succession before new officers were added . Once the Post Office Department was re-organized into the United States Postal Service , a special agency independent of the executive branch , the Postmaster General ceased to be a member of the Cabinet and was thus removed from the line of succession . Secretary of Homeland Security added 2006 ( edit ) The United States Department of Homeland Security was created in 2002 . On March 9 , 2006 , pursuant to the renewal of the Patriot Act as Pub. L. 109 -- 177 , the Secretary of Homeland Security was added to the line of succession . The order of Cabinet members in the line has always been the same as the order in which their respective departments were established . Despite custom , many in Congress had wanted the Secretary to be placed at number eight on the list -- below the Attorney General , above the Secretary of the Interior , and in the position held by the Secretary of the Navy prior to the creation of the Secretary of Defense -- because the Secretary , already in charge of disaster relief and security , would presumably be more prepared to take over the presidency than some of the other Cabinet secretaries . Despite this , the 2006 law explicitly specifies that the `` Secretary of Homeland Security '' follows the `` Secretary of Veterans Affairs '' in the succession , effectively at the end of the list . Successions beyond Vice President ( edit ) David Rice Atchison 's tombstone ( Plattsburg , Missouri ) , including the claim `` President of the United States for One Day '' While nine Vice Presidents have succeeded to the office upon the death or resignation of the President , and two Vice Presidents have temporarily served as acting President , no other officer has ever been called upon to act as President . On March 4 , 1849 , President Zachary Taylor 's term began , but he declined to be sworn in on a Sunday , citing religious beliefs , and the Vice President was not sworn either . As the last President pro tempore of the Senate , David Rice Atchison was thought by some to be next in line after the Vice President , and his tombstone claims that he was US President for the day . However , Atchison took no oath of office to the presidency either , and his term as Senate President pro tempore had by then expired . In 1865 , when Andrew Johnson assumed the Presidency on the death of Abraham Lincoln , the office of Vice President became vacant . At that time , the Senate President pro tempore was next in line to the presidency . In 1868 , Johnson was impeached by the House of Representatives and subjected to trial in the Senate , and if he had been convicted and thereby removed from office , Senate President pro tempore Benjamin Wade would have become acting President . This posed a conflict of interest , as Wade 's `` guilty '' vote could have been decisive in removing Johnson from office and giving himself presidential powers and duties . ( Johnson was acquitted by a one - vote margin . ) In his book The Shadow Presidents , which he published in 1979 , Michael Medved describes a situation that arose prior to the 1916 election , when the First World War was raging in Europe . In view of the contemporary international turmoil , President Woodrow Wilson thought that if he lost the election it would be better for his opponent to begin his administration straight away , instead of waiting through the lame duck period , which at that time had a duration of almost four months . President Wilson and his aides formed a plan to exploit the rule of succession so that his rival Charles Evans Hughes could take over the Presidency as soon as the result of the election was clear . The plan was that Wilson would appoint Hughes to the post of Secretary of State . Wilson and his Vice President Thomas R. Marshall would then resign , and as the Secretary of State was at that time designated next in line of succession , Hughes would become President immediately . As it happened , President Wilson won re-election , so the plan was never put into action . New President Gerald Ford is sworn in following the resignation of Richard Nixon on August 9 , 1974 . Since the 25th Amendment 's ratification , its Second Section , which addresses Vice Presidential succession as noted above , has been invoked twice . During the 1973 Vice Presidential vacancy , House Speaker Carl Albert was first in line . As the Watergate scandal made President Nixon 's removal or resignation possible , Albert would have become Acting President and -- under Title 3 , Section 19 ( c ) of the U.S. Code -- would have been able to `` act as President until the expiration of the then current Presidential term '' on January 20 , 1977 . Albert openly questioned whether it was appropriate for him , a Democrat , to assume the powers and duties of the presidency when there was a public mandate for the Presidency to be held by a Republican . Albert announced that should he need to assume the Presidential powers and duties , he would do so only as a caretaker . However , with the nomination and confirmation of Gerald Ford to the Vice Presidency , which marked the first time the Second Section of the Twenty - fifth Amendment was invoked , these series of events were never tested . Albert again became first - in - line during the first four months of Ford 's Presidency , before the confirmation of Vice President Nelson Rockefeller , which marked the second time Section 2 of the Twenty - fifth Amendment was invoked . In 1981 , when President Ronald Reagan was shot , Vice President George H.W. Bush was traveling in Texas . Secretary of State Alexander Haig responded to a reporter 's question regarding who was running the government by stating : Constitutionally , gentlemen , you have the President , the Vice President and the Secretary of State in that order , and should the President decide he wants to transfer the helm to the Vice President , he will do so . He has not done that . As of now , I am in control here , in the White House , pending return of the Vice President and in close touch with him . If something came up , I would check with him , of course . A bitter dispute ensued over the meaning of Haig 's remarks . Most people believed that Haig was referring to the line of succession and erroneously claimed to have temporary Presidential authority , due to his implied reference to the Constitution . Haig and his supporters , noting his familiarity with the line of succession from his time as White House Chief of Staff during Richard Nixon 's resignation , said he only meant that he was the highest - ranking officer of the Executive branch on - site , managing things temporarily until the Vice President returned to Washington . Constitutional concerns ( edit ) Several constitutional law experts have raised questions as to the constitutionality of the provisions that the Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate succeed to the presidency . James Madison , one of the authors of the Constitution , raised similar constitutional questions about the Presidential Succession Act of 1792 in a 1792 letter to Edmund Pendleton . Two of these issues can be summarized : The term `` Officer '' in the relevant clause of the Constitution is most plausibly interpreted to mean an `` Officer of the United States '' , who must be a member of the Executive or Judicial Branch . The Speaker and the President pro tempore are not officers in this sense . Under the principle of separation of powers , the Constitution specifically disallows legislative officials from also serving in the executive branch . For the Speaker or the Senate President pro tempore to become Acting President , they must resign their position , at which point they are no longer in the line of succession . This is seen by some to form a constitutional paradox . However , the current Act specifies that the Speaker becomes President `` upon his resignation as Speaker '' and as a member of Congress , allowing for a seamless transition . In 2003 the Continuity of Government Commission suggested that the current law has `` at least seven significant issues ... that warrant attention '' , specifically : The reality that all figures in the current line of succession work and reside in the vicinity of Washington , D.C. In the event of a nuclear , chemical , or biological attack , it is possible that everyone on the list would be killed or incapacitated . Doubt ( such as those expressed above by James Madison ) that congressional leaders are eligible to act as President . A concern about the wisdom of including the President pro tempore in the line of succession as the `` largely honorific post traditionally held by the longest - serving Senator of the majority party '' . For example , from January 20 , 2001 , to June 6 , 2001 , the President pro tempore was then - 98 - year - old Strom Thurmond of South Carolina . A concern that the current line of succession can force the presidency to abruptly switch parties mid-term , as the President , Speaker , and the President pro tempore are not necessarily of the same party as each other . A concern that the succession line is ordered by the dates of creation of the various executive departments , without regard to the skills or capacities of the persons serving as their Secretary . The fact that , should a Cabinet member begin to act as President , the law allows the House to elect a new Speaker ( or the Senate , a new President pro tempore ) , who could in effect remove the Cabinet member and assume the office themselves at any time . The absence of a provision where a President is disabled and the vice presidency is vacant ( for example , if an assassination attempt simultaneously wounded the President and killed the Vice President ) .

"The United States presidential line of succession is the order in which persons may become or act as President of the United States if the incumbent President becomes incapacitated, dies, resigns, or is removed from office (by impeachment by the House of Representatives and subsequent conviction by the Senate). The line of succession is set by the United States Constitution and the Presidential Succession Act of 1947[1] as subsequently amended to include newly created cabinet offices. The succession follows the order of Vice President, Speaker of the House of Representatives, President pro tempore of the Senate, and then the heads of federal executive departments who form the Cabinet of the United States. The Cabinet currently has fifteen members, beginning with the Secretary of State, and followed by the rest in the order of their positions' creation. Those heads of department who are ineligible to act as President are also ineligible to succeed the President by succession, for example most commonly if they are not a natural-born U.S. citizen."

Heartbroken , Deanna visits her parents Mike ( Stephen Root ) and Sandy ( Jacki Weaver ) to tell them what happened , but Mike is frustrated because Dan made Deanna drop out of her college because she was pregnant , as well as his overbearing ways during their marriage .

Dan , Marcie , and Maddie find them and Marcie tells Deanna she is cut off financially from Dan . Deanna is filled with shame , if only because of how Maddie saw her . Deanna tries to make amends with Maddie , but she tells her that she is leaving college since she has no means of completing the rest of the year on her own . The girls then come up with a plan to throw a party to raise money to pay for Deanna 's tuition .

Christine shows up with her husband , as do Mike and Sandy . Mike offers to give Deanna a 401K check to pay her tuition , but Deanna refuses to take it . The party is not a success until Aguilera ( who ends up being Leonor 's cousin ) arrives and she puts on a show with Deanna and the girls to an excited crowd . Later on , Deanna is due to repeat her presentation in class .

At the end of the year , Deanna and Maddie graduate together , with all their friends and family there to support them . Maddie encourages Deanna to throw her cap in the air .

Aside from the four Wiggles , four secondary characters , along with a troupe of singers , actors , and dancers , appear in their television series , videos , and live concerts . These characters were developed in the 1990s and were originally played by group members and by Anthony Field 's brother Paul , the band 's manager . Later in the group 's history , the characters were played by hired actors dressed in the characters ' costumes . Contents ( hide ) 1 Dorothy the Dinosaur 1.1 Dorothy the Dinosaur TV series videos 2 Captain Feathersword 3 Henry the Octopus 4 Wags the Dog 5 Minor characters 6 Works Cited 7 Notes 8 References Dorothy the dinosaur ( edit ) Dorothy the Dinosaur Genre Children 's television series Country of origin Australia Original language ( s ) English No. of seasons 3 No. of episodes 100 Production Running time 7 minutes Release Picture format 576i ( SDTV ) 1080i ( HDTV ) Audio format Stereo Original release 2007 -- 2010 External links Website www.thewiggles.com.au Dorothy is a `` rososaurus '' , a `` yellow - spotted herbivorous green dinosaur with surprisingly scary teeth '' . She lives in a pink and purple house with her own Rosy Orchestra and a rose garden in her backyard . She loves to eat roses and dance the ballet . She enjoys serving guests rose - derived treats such as `` rosy - posy tea '' . Murray Cook created Dorothy from his experiences in working at a preschool , sensing a need to make up some good dinosaur songs . Dorothy was part of the band 's early stage shows , and was originally played by Cook , then Wiggles choreographer Leeanne Ashley , and Wiggles dancers such as Caterina Mete and Lyn Stuckey . Ashley was Dorothy 's first full - time portrayer ; according to Field , she `` wrote the blueprint '' for the character . Ashley developed movements that conveyed Dorothy 's unique personality . South Australian Carolyn Ferrie , an opera singer and dancer , has provided Dorothy 's voice from 1997 to some point in 2009 . when she worked with Anthony Field on an Irish music Wiggles CD . Ferrie described Dorothy as `` a dinosaur superstar ... very open , friendly , and warm . She is like a mother figure even though she is only meant to be five , and kids really respond to her ... She is calm and mothering but friendly as well . She 's young and still playful but has got a motherly feeling to her '' . Ferrie insisted that Dorothy `` is number one after the boys including Captain Feathersword , in terms of who kids say they love '' . Dorothy has a distinctive , trill - like , descending laugh created by Ferrie . In 1996 , shortly before moving into American markets , The Wiggles discovered that someone in Maine had registered Dorothy as a trademark , so they reached an agreement and paid a settlement . In 2007 , Dorothy began to star in her own television show in Australia . The show had a distinct look and sound . Whereas The Wiggles ' TV shows were `` hyper - real and cartoonish '' and had a pop sound , Dorothy 's show was `` really rich and beautiful looking '' and based its sound on orchestral music .

The Captain was created because The Wiggles understood that young children like pirates ; they gave him a `` feathersword '' because they wanted him to be nonviolent . Field originated the role , and Paul Paddick , whom Field called `` just as funny offstage as on '' , began playing him in 1996 . At first , Paddick 's role was minor , but it eventually evolved into a role so significant that he has been called `` the Fifth Wiggle '' . For many parents , his vocal impersonations were `` the high point of the Wiggles stage show '' and included singers Mick Jagger , Cher , Plácido Domingo and James Hetfield . Henry the Octopus ( edit ) Introduced in 1992 , Henry the Octopus , who directs an underwater band and loves to dance with his eight legs `` . He was named after Tony Henry , the drummer in The Cockroaches , who also provided The Wiggles with musical support throughout the years . The character was developed by Fatt , who originally served as Henry 's voice . Paul Paddick took over the role of the voice in the mid-2000s . He has appeared as both a puppet and a mascot , the latter of which has been played by various dancers on staff . Wags the dog ( edit ) Wags is a tall , brown , furry dog with floppy ears and a happy face . He `` loves to sing and dance and kids bring ' bones ' that the Wiggly dancers collect from the audience '' . The last of the four characters to be introduced , Wags was originally played by Field . Fatt provided the original barking noises for Wags before Paul Field , general manager of The Wiggles and brother of Blue Wiggle Anthony took over . Mic Conway of The Captain Matchbox Whoopee Band fame , has been the only one to give Wags full spoken dialogue . Minor characters ( edit ) For the stage shows , The Wiggles have used two 16 - metre ( 52 ft ) trucks , three tour buses , a cast of 13 dancers , and 10 permanent crew members . The `` Wiggly Dancers '' have always made up a major part of the Wiggles shows and TV programs and play many of the minor roles .

General contractor Hunt Construction Group / Mascaro Tenants Pittsburgh Steelers ( NFL ) ( 2001 -- present ) Pittsburgh Panthers ( NCAA ) ( 2001 -- present ) Heinz Field is a stadium located in the North Shore neighborhood of Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania , United States . It primarily serves as the home to the Pittsburgh Steelers of the National Football League ( NFL ) and the Pittsburgh Panthers of the National Collegiate Athletic Association ( NCAA ) . The stadium opened in 2001 , after the controlled implosion of the teams ' previous stadium , Three Rivers Stadium . The stadium is named for the locally based H.J. Heinz Company , which purchased the naming rights in 2001 . It hosted the 2011 NHL Winter Classic between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Washington Capitals on January 1 , 2011 . On September 10 , 2016 , it hosted the Keystone Classic , which featured a renewal of the Penn State - Pitt football rivalry , setting a new attendance record at 69,983 people . In 2017 it hosted the Coors Light Stadium Series game featuring the Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers . Funded in conjunction with PNC Park and the David L. Lawrence Convention Center , the $281 million ( equivalent to $388.36 million in 2017 ) stadium stands along the Ohio River , on the Northside of Pittsburgh in the North Shore neighborhood . The stadium was designed with the city of Pittsburgh 's history of steel production in mind , which led to the inclusion of 12,000 tons of steel into the design . Ground for the stadium was broken in June 1999 and the first football game was hosted in September 2001 . The stadium 's natural grass surface has been criticized throughout its history , but Steelers ownership has kept the grass after lobbying from players and coaches . Attendance for the 68,400 seat stadium has sold out for every Steelers home game , a streak which dates back to 1972 ( a year before local telecasts of sold out home games were permitted in the NFL ) . A collection of memorabilia from the Steelers and Panthers of the past can be found in the Great Hall .

After discussions over the Pirates building a full - time baseball park , a proposal was made to renovate Three Rivers Stadium into a full - time football facility . Though met with negative reaction from Steelers ownership , the proposal was used as a `` fallback position '' that would be used if discussions for a new stadium failed . Steelers ownership stated that failing to build a new stadium would hurt the franchise 's chances of signing players who might opt to sign with other teams , such as the other three teams in the Steelers division who had all recently built new football - only stadiums . In June 2001 , the H.J. Heinz Company purchased the naming rights to the stadium . As per the deal , Heinz will pay the Steelers a total of $57 million through 2021 ; the `` 57 '' being an intentional reference to Heinz 57 . Despite Heinz later announcing its acquisition of Kraft Foods Group to form Kraft Heinz Company in 2015 , the stadium 's name will remain Heinz Field . Originally , a sales tax increase was proposed to fund three projects : Heinz Field , PNC Park , and an expansion of the David L. Lawrence Convention Center . After the rejection of this proposal in a 1997 referendum known as the `` Regional Renaissance Initiative '' , the city developed the alternate funding proposal Plan B. Similarly controversial , the proposal was labeled Scam B by opponents . The Steelers ' pledge toward the new stadium was criticized for being too little , even after it was raised from $50 million to $76.5 million . Other local government members criticized the $281 million of public money allocated for Plan B. One member of the Allegheny Regional Asset District board called the use of tax dollars `` corporate welfare '' . The plan , totaling $809 million , was approved by the Allegheny Regional Asset District board on July 9 , 1998 , with $233 million allotted for Heinz Field . Shortly after Plan B was approved , the Steelers made a deal with Pittsburgh city officials to stay in the city until at least 2031 . The total cost of Heinz Field was $281 million . Design and construction ( edit ) HOK Sport designed the stadium . HOK Sport 's project manager for the project , Melinda Lehman , said that the Rooney family asked for the stadium 's design to `` acknowledge the history of Pittsburgh and also bring in an element of looking forward , this is where Pittsburgh is going . '' In order to accomplish this , HOK Sport used steel structurally and externally . The stone used in Heinz Field 's design is artificial , in order to decrease cost . Of the glass used in the stadium 's design , Lehman said , `` The glass is a more modern building element , which ties into a lot of the buildings in ( Downtown ) Pittsburgh and gives great views of the surrounding areas . '' The Steelers and Panthers have their own locker rooms , which differ in size based on the amount of players each team is permitted to dress for each game . The visitor facilities are modeled after the home locker rooms ' design . As with its predecessor , Heinz Field 's culinary service provider is Aramark ; over 400 eateries are located throughout the stadium . A bronze statue of Steelers founder Art Rooney , similar to those located outside PNC Park , was moved 100 feet ( 30 m ) from its previous position outside Three Rivers Stadium . In addition , a statue of a Pitt Panther over a paved depiction of Pitt 's Cathedral of Learning was placed outside Gate A. Upon opening in 2001 , Heinz Field 's 27 by 96 foot Sony JumboTron was the largest scoreboard in the NFL . In 2007 , ESPN named the `` tipping '' of the oversized Heinz ketchup bottles atop the scoreboard one of the top ten touchdown celebrations in the NFL . A view of Heinz Field from across the river . Ground was broken for Heinz Field on June 18 , 1999 , at a ceremony co-hosted by the Steelers and the University of Pittsburgh . The stadium was constructed by Hunt Construction Group and Mascaro Corporation . The two companies directed 1,400 workers over two years , in which there were no construction accidents or lawsuits . The stadium is inspected yearly , along with PNC Park , by Chronicle Consulting , LLC , for structural defects and maintenance . Opening ( edit ) Heinz Field in 2007 with Downtown Pittsburgh in the background The first event held at Heinz Field was a concert hosted by the band ' N Sync , on August 18 , 2001 . Coincidentally , they were also the last band to perform at the Steelers ' previous home , Three Rivers Stadium . Prior to the Steelers regular season schedule , the team played a pre-season game against the Detroit Lions on August 25 , 2001 . Pittsburgh won the stadium 's unofficial opening game 20 -- 7 , with 57,829 spectators in attendance . The first official football game played in the stadium was between the Pittsburgh Panthers and East Tennessee State , on September 1 . The Panthers won the game 31 -- 0 , with quarterback David Priestley scoring the first touchdown on an 85 - yard run . The Steelers were scheduled to open the regular season play at Heinz Field on September 16 against the Cleveland Browns ; however , due to the September 11 attacks , all NFL games of the week were postponed , thus moving the stadium 's premiere to October 7 , against the Cincinnati Bengals . Prior to the game , a speech from US President George W. Bush , ordering attacks on Taliban - controlled Afghanistan , was shown live on the stadium 's JumboTron . The speech was met with much applause and support from the spectators in attendance . Pittsburgh defeated the Bengals , 16 -- 7 . Steelers kicker Kris Brown scored the first NFL points in the stadium on a 26 - yard field goal , and quarterback Kordell Stewart scored the first touchdown on an eight - yard run . That same year , two light - emitting diode ( LED ) video displays from Daktronics were installed at the field . The larger , high definition video display measures approximately 28 feet ( 8.5 m ) high by nearly 96 feet ( 29 m ) wide . In 2007 , writer Bill Evans named Heinz Field the second best stadium in the NFL , behind Lambeau Field , in an article for ESPN.com . Although both stadiums received a score of 54 out of 70 , Sports Illustrated named Heinz Field the second best stadium in the NFL , also behind Lambeau Field . Notable events ( edit ) In addition to football games , Heinz Field has hosted other various activities . Football ( edit ) On August 4 , 2012 , Heinz Field hosted the Women 's Football Alliance 's National Championship Game , becoming the first NFL stadium to host a title game for any women 's football league . The quickest score in NFL history occurred on September 8 , 2013 , in the Steelers season opener against the Tennessee Titans , when the Steelers scored a safety on the opening kickoff three seconds into the game . Darius Reynaud of the Titans fielded the kickoff and took a short step backwards ( into the south end zone ) for what was ruled to be a safety , not a touchback , because the ball was not in the end zone when it was fielded . The Steelers , however , lost the game 16 - 9 , which was also their first home opener loss since Heinz Field opened . The longest NFL field goal ever kicked in Heinz Field is 53 yards . Dallas Cowboys kicker Dan Bailey first set the record in 2016 . That record was tied on November 26 , 2017 by Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell in a game - winning effort over the Green Bay Packers with 4 seconds remaining in the game , resulting in a 31 - 28 win . In collegiate play , former Old Dominion kicker Jarod Brown made a 54 - yard kick against the Pittsburgh Panthers in 2013 . Concerts ( edit ) Since its opening in 2001 , bands and artists including ' N Sync , Beyoncé , Taylor Swift , Kenny Chesney , and LeAnn Rimes have performed at the stadium . In addition , hometown bands The Clarks and the Povertyneck Hillbillies have played multiple shows at the stadium .

The game was played January 1 , 2011 between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Washington Capitals . Pittsburgh native Jackie Evancho sang the Star Spangled Banner before local sports legends Franco Harris , Jerome Bettis and Mario Lemieux dropped the ceremonial puck . The Capitals won , 3 -- 1 . The game was the highest rated NHL contest since 1996 and the highest rated regular season game since 1975 . It was also the first night Classic and the first to use `` CableCam '' technology . In film & tv ( edit ) The 2011 American Idol Auditions chose Pittsburgh of one of six cities and scheduled signups at Heinz Field on July 12 -- 13 and auditions on July 15 , 2011 . Heinz Field served as the home field of the Gotham Rogues in the 2012 film The Dark Knight Rises . An estimated 15,000 unpaid extras filled the stadium during shooting on August 6 , 2011 . During Episode 4 of The Bachelorette ( season 12 ) , eleven contestants competed in a five on five football game .

Other events ( edit ) In 2002 , the Pittsburgh Marathon concluded at Heinz Field , the course was altered from past years to allow competitors to cross the finish line on the field . In 2005 , the Pittsburgh Wine Festival was held at Heinz Field , over 2,000 people attended . Features ( edit ) Playing surface ( edit ) In June 2001 , Kentucky Bluegrass was laid on the field , at half the height of most NFL field 's 2 - inch ( 51 mm ) grass . The field is heated from below , using a mixture of antifreeze and hot water , to keep the field at around 62 ° F ( 17 ° C ) in order to keep the grass growing year - round . The field was re-surfaced multiple times , until the synthetic - enhanced Desso GrassMaster was installed in 2003 . Debate continued over the surface after players began slipping during game play . Despite this players and coaches of Pitt , the Steelers , and their opponents supported keeping the current turf . `` I need the grass . I like the mud . I like the sloppiness , I 'm used to it . Mr. Rooney , can we please keep the grass ? I do n't want no FieldTurf . It 's bad on your knees . '' -- Ike Taylor On Friday , November 23 , 2007 , Heinz Field hosted four WPIAL championship football games which were followed the day after with a game between Pitt and South Florida . After discussion with the NFL , Steelers ownership made the decision to re-surface the field for their nationally televised game against the Miami Dolphins . A layer of sod was laid overtop the 2.5 - acre ( 1.0 ha ) Desso GrassMaster surface . The field 's condition was exacerbated by 11⁄2 inches of rain after the new sod had been laid , which did not allow the tarp to be removed from the field until 70 minutes before the game began . The field conditions during the game ended up being so bad that at one point during the game , a punt by Dolphins punter Brandon Fields ended up sticking into the turf without bouncing . The Steelers won the game 3 -- 0 , with a field goal by Jeff Reed with 17 seconds remaining in regulation ; it was the NFL 's first 3 - 0 game since 1993 and the longest two teams went without scoring since the New York Giants and Detroit Lions played to a scoreless tie on November 11 , 1943 . Scott Brown , of the Pittsburgh Tribune - Review , called the field a `` veritable mud pit '' . While Gene Upshaw , head of the National Football League Players ' Association , also criticized the field citing a 2006 survey of NFL players that ranked Heinz Field as the second worst field in the league . Steelers receiver Hines Ward called the playing conditions `` horrendous '' after the game . However , the following day Ward and other Pittsburgh players lobbied to keep the natural surface stating , `` I think everybody wants to keep the grass . '' Since that season , the Steelers have played their game on the weekend following Thanksgiving on the road at the team 's request . Heinz Field before a Steelers game Debate continued over the field later in the season when Jacksonville running back Fred Taylor called the field `` a lawsuit pending '' . Pittsburgh 's ownership stated that the decision was up to the players , who once again defended the natural surface . In February 2008 , the Steelers announced that they would keep the Desso GrassMaster surface . During the 2008 season quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was given a concussion after being hit at Heinz Field . He later stated , `` I 'm glad we were n't on FieldTurf . That grass -- you know , the soft Heinz Field -- might 've helped a little bit . '' After the 2008 season , a poll of 1,565 NFL players rated the surface at Heinz Field as the worst of the 18 natural surfaces in the League . The DDGrassmaster surface was removed in January 2009 and replaced with the old sod placed on top of the DDGrassmaster surface for the AFC Championship also in January 2009 . Field design ( edit ) This section does not cite any sources . Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( October 2010 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Initially , the south end zone had either `` Steelers '' or `` Panthers '' painted in the end zone , depending on the game itself . The north end zone has always read `` Pittsburgh '' , which is painted in gold lettering and trimmed in either black for the Steelers or dark blue for Pitt . Although there is typically no midfield logo when both Pitt and the Steelers are in season , both teams have applied their logo if the field 's schedule allows for a sufficient break to remove or apply the other team 's logo for that team 's next upcoming game . The Steelers have typically added their logo to midfield after Pitt 's football season has ended . In 2003 , the Steelers played the Philadelphia Eagles in a preseason game to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Steagles team , when the two merged as a result of player shortages caused by World War II . Steelers president Dan Rooney had initially considered wearing a throwback uniform for the game , but decided against it because the merged team wore the Eagles uniforms , and the Steelers did n't want to wear the Eagles ' colors . Instead , the team had the south end zone painted in plain diagonal white lines , which were common in NFL endzones until the 1960s . Although the Steelers lost the game 21 -- 16 , Rooney liked the look of the south end zone being `` plain '' , and decided to keep it permanently . As with the team 's logo at midfield , the Steelers paint `` Steelers '' in the south end zone once the college football season ends . The Green Bay Packers also adopted the plain diagonal white lines in the end zones at Lambeau Field for 2007 due to an Anniversary logo being painted on each end , before switching back to wordmark endzones in 2008 which have remained since . Panorama of Heinz Field from club seating during Steelers vs. Chiefs post-game on December 21 , 2014 . Note the `` Steelers '' painted in the south endzone , added after the college football season . Seating and tickets ( edit ) As of 2008 , the Pittsburgh Steelers have sold out every home game since the 1972 season . Entering the 2008 season , the Steelers average ticket price of $69.47 was the 15th highest out of the NFL 's 32 teams . The majority of the 65,050 seats are colored `` Steeler gold '' , though club seats are dark gray . Heinz Field features 1,500 seats in 129 luxury boxes , with prices ranging from $64,000 to $135,000 depending on location and size . These boxes were predicted to increase the Steelers ' profits from $10 to $11 million per season over those at Three Rivers Stadium . The stadium also features 6,600 club seats that include a restaurant and an indoor bar , at prices up to $2,000 per person . For the 2010 season , season ticket prices for Panthers games range from a maximum of $295 per club seat with required donations per seat between $250 and $500 depending on location , to as low as $87 per seat with no required donation for upper end zone sections . Individual game ticket prices ranged from $30 to $65 depending on the seat location and the opponent . Attendance for Panthers games has varied from an average high of 59,197 people per game throughout the 2003 season to a low of 43,680 in 2007 . Most recently , Pitt averaged 48,150 in home attendance during the 2015 season . Great Hall ( edit ) The Great Hall The Great Hall spans approximately 40,000 square feet ( 3,700 m ) on the east side of the stadium and houses a collection of Steelers and Pittsburgh Panthers memorabilia . The Hall includes a timeline of the Steelers franchise 's major events , an oversized Steelers helmet hangs from the ceiling beside a video screen that shows entertainment for fans throughout game days . The Great Hall also features the actual lockers of several former Steelers , including Hall of Fame members Franco Harris , Joe Greene , and Bill Dudley . Six large Super Bowl trophies - shaped display columns were erected and contain artifacts from each championship the Steelers have won including replica trophies . Two display columns are dedicated to the University of Pittsburgh and contain memorabilia from the Panthers ' teams . The floor is painted to resemble the field at Three Rivers Stadium , with the word `` Steelers '' painted in black over a gold background . University of Pittsburgh players are featured on two large murals within the Hall . Eight additional tile murals created by local high schools represent western Pennsylvania football history . In 2007 , the Great Hall was named the best concourse at an NFL stadium by writer Bill Evans , in an article for ESPN.com . Seating expansion ( edit ) The Steelers notified the Pittsburgh Stadium Authority in December 2010 of their intention to add up to 4,000 seats to the lower southern end of the stadium . The plan would increase seating up to 69,050 as soon as the 2012 NFL season . Seating was added in that section for the 2011 NHL Winter Classic , which had an attendance of 68,111 . The temporary seating was left in place for the 2010 -- 11 NFL playoffs , with the AFC Championship game on January 23 having a record attendance of 66,662 . On April 12 , 2012 , the Steelers confirmed they would seek approval from the NFL to expand seating by 3,000 . On May 19 , 2014 , after more than two years , the Steelers and the SEA came to an agreement to add about 3,000 seats to the venue . After contractors surveyed the complex the final number of 2,390 added seats with five additional suites including more parking , restrooms and concessions was determined in December 2014 to increase capacity to a total of 67,890 . The seating was put in place by the summer of 2015 . Transportation access ( edit ) Heinz Field is located at Exit 1B of Interstate 279 within a mile of direct access to both Interstate 376 and Interstate 579 . The stadium also has dedicated elevated walkway access to the Allegheny Station of the Light Rail / Subway system . On Steelers and Pitt Panthers game days , access is also provided from Station Square parking facilities via the Gateway Clipper Fleet .

Following her grandmother 's death , she relocates to St. Louis , reuniting with her mother and close sister Alline . Anna Mae pursues a chance to be a professional singer after seeing charismatic bandleader Ike Turner perform one night . Later she wins her spot in Turner 's band after singing onstage and he begins mentoring her . In time , an unexpected romance develops between the two after she moves into Ike 's home . Shortly afterwards , they marry and begin having musical success together as Ike and Tina Turner . The marriage quickly turns violent when Ike starts physically dominating her , leaving her no chance to escape . In public , Tina rises from local St. Louis phenomenon into an rhythm and blues superstar with Ike growing increasingly jealous of the attention given to her . Ike turns to drugs and his abusive behavior worsens . As Tina seeks solace in her chaotic life , a friend turns her on to Buddhism , eventually convincing her that reciting the Lotus Sutra and chanting Nam Myoho Renge Kyo will help `` change her life . '' Tina grows increasingly confident afterwards and in a final fight with Ike finally musters the courage to defend herself , eventually leaving Ike after they arrive at a hotel . Winning the right to retain her stage name after their divorce , Tina continues working to pay bills .

Production ( edit ) This article 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 2009 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Angela Bassett , nominated for an Academy Award for her portrayal of Tina Turner Halle Berry , Robin Givens , Pam Grier , Whitney Houston , Janet Jackson , and Vanessa L. Williams and were all considered for the role of Tina Turner . Whitney Houston was actually offered the role , but had to decline due to imminent maternity . Jenifer Lewis , who plays Tina 's mother in this film , originally auditioned to play Tina Turner , as well ; Lewis is only one year older than Angela Bassett . Angela Bassett auditioned for the role in October 1992 and was chosen only a month before production began in December . During that time she had to learn not only how to talk like Turner but to dance and move like her . She would have been willing to try to do the singing as well , but ' ' not in the time we had , ' ' she said . ' ' I did think about it for a second , though . ' ' Instead , she lip syncs to soundtracks recorded by Tina Turner and Fishburne . Bassett worked with Tina Turner , but only ' ' a little bit . ' ' Turner helped most with the re-creations of her famed dance routines . All the Ike and Tina Turner songs used in the film were newly re-recorded versions featuring Tina Turner covering her own songs . On `` Proud Mary , '' Laurence Fishburne sings Ike Turner 's parts . For Tina Turner 's solo recordings , the original masters were used , including the Phil Spector - produced `` River Deep - Mountain High '' . Laurence Fishburne was offered the role of Ike Turner five times and turned it down each time . ' ' It was pretty one - sided , ' ' said Fishburne , who turned down the project based on the script he first read . Ike , Fishburne added , was ' ' obviously the villain of the piece , but there was no explanation as to why he behaved the way he behaved - why she was with him for 16 to 20 years , what made her stay . ' ' The writers made some changes and though Ike is still shown as a pretty despicable sort , the film offers at least some insight into him - most notably a scene in which Ike recalls watching , at age 6 , his father 's death from wounds suffered in a fight over a woman . The changes helped persuade Fishburne to do the role , but he says that Bassett 's casting as Tina played a key part . ' ' She was the deciding factor , really , ' ' he said . Fishburne did not have Ike Turner around as a role model as much as he would have liked . He did meet Ike Turner once , though , during production of the film . `` He was not particularly welcome on this project , '' Fishburne says . The actor 's only meeting was a brief introduction when Ike showed up at the Turners ' former home in Baldwin Hills during a location shoot . Ike signed some autographs and showed Fishburne his walk . `` It was nice to meet him , '' says Fishburne . `` Regardless of his actions , he was so much a part of Tina 's life . The movie is about him just as much as her . It 's unfortunate that he was n't welcomed , that both of them were n't around more . '' In his autobiography Taking Back My Name , Ike Turner claims the movie damaged his reputation immensely and attacks many of the scenes for being either not strictly accurate or completely fabricated . Director Brian Gibson had no contact with Ike . `` I never spoke to him , '' says Gibson . `` I was not allowed to . Disney felt that it would not be a good idea . '' Tina herself admitted she wish the film had more truth to it . Since they sold the right to use their name and image for the film , neither Tina nor Ike had control over the script . Scene such as the infamous cake scene and the rape scene never happened in real life . Bassett was injured while filming the first spousal abuse sequence . She fell off the back of a high - rise sofa , put her hands out to reduce the impact , and suffered a hairline fracture of her right hand . She only tried the stunt fall once , and footage leading up to the mishap appears in the film . Actress Vanessa Bell Calloway , who plays the fictional character Jackie , was leery of chanting the Buddhist words because of her strong Christian faith . Director Brian Gibson allowed her to form the words with her lips silently during filming and added the words with a voice double in post-production . She also appeared alongside Tina in the music video of `` What 's Love Got to Do with It '' . Differences from noted events ( edit ) This section does not cite any sources . Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( August 2014 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Though the film took its story from Tina Turner 's autobiography , I , Tina , it was determined to be only loosely based on the book , meaning certain events in the film were `` fictionalized for dramatic purposes '' . Examples of the fictionalized scenes include : In the film , Tina 's constant friend , `` Jackie '' ( played by Vanessa Bell Calloway ) , was a member of The Ikettes who left the Ike and Tina Turner Revue after a violent blowup with Ike in a roadside restaurant . In actuality , this character was fabricated for dramatic purposes . This fictionalized character also visits Tina in the hospital after her attempted suicide and later introduces Tina to Buddhism , chanting `` Nam Myoho Renge Kyo '' in front of the Gohonzon . Turner never mentioned a friend named Jackie in her autobiography ; this single character apparently represents an amalgamation of friends from Turner 's past , including members of the Ikettes and friends from the band 's entourage . When Anna Mae Bullock sees Ike Turner and his Kings of Rhythm perform , Ike is shown as the front man . The real - life Ike Turner had stage fright , and though he was a band leader and organizer , he often had other performers , particularly male singers , fronting the band . The original vocalist behind `` Rocket 88 '' , sung by Laurence Fishburne as Ike in the movie , was Jackie Brenston . During Anna Mae 's first performance with Ike and the Kings of Rhythm , Ike is shown playing guitar . But both Tina and Ike have stated Tina sang after being given a microphone by the band 's drummer , while Ike played piano during an intermission , rather than during a live performance as illustrated in the film , though she did later front the band the night she began singing with them . A reenactment shows Tina recording her first song , called `` Tina 's Wish , '' on the film 's soundtrack . However , this song is actually a re-recording Tina made of an old Ike and Tina song , `` Make Me Over , '' from the Ike & Tina album , Nutbush City Limits ( 1973 ) . Tina 's first recording ( as `` Little Ann '' ) was actually singing background on one of Ike 's songs , `` Box Top '' . During the scene where Ike and Tina are scheduled to perform at the Apollo Theater in 1960 , the bill lists Martha and the Vandellas and Otis Redding as fellow headliners . In reality , Martha and the Vandellas had n't formed yet , several of them were performing in another different vocal group called the Del - Phis , while Redding had yet to record his first single and was fronting several bands . The film shows Tina giving birth to Ike 's son , named Craig , but in reality , Craig Turner was Tina 's child with another man , Raymond Hill . Hill was a member in Ike 's band . Tina gave birth to Craig when she was 18 in 1958 . Ike and Tina 's only child together , Ronald Renelle Turner also known as Ronnie , was born on October 27 , 1960 . The film depicts Ike and Tina getting hitched after the birth of their son Ronnie in 1960 when in reality they married two years later in 1962 . While Tina mentions that there were accounts of Ike 's abusing her , Ike never pushed cake in Tina 's face leading to a food fight in a diner . That scene in the film dramatizes an incident Tina Turner accounted in her autobiography , which describes that while waiting for food , a waitress gave her cake . Though Tina said she had n't ordered it , Ike told her to eat it . When Tina performs at the Ritz , the film has the timeline at 1983 , and the host announces her arrival as her `` debut solo performance '' . However , Tina had first performed at that theater in 1981 . Also inaccurate was the film 's portrayal of Ike 's visit to the theater , where he failed at silencing Tina with his gun . In truth , Ike was never at the Ritz ; he had not been seen in public for years following his and Tina 's divorce in 1978 . Ike had remained in Los Angeles , estranged from Tina for quite some time by 1981 . The film 's loose depictions do , however , capture the reality that Ike made multiple dangerous attempts to get Tina back following her divorce suit , in which he did threaten bodily harm , and Tina bought a gun to protect herself from Ike and his friends at the time .

Wheeler loves the job , but Danny hates it , viewing it as a pointless , dead - end career . Danny 's depression results in the collapse of his relationship with his girlfriend Beth , after he impulsively proposes to her . After a presentation at an elementary school , the duo find their Minotaur truck being towed , as they were parked in a no - parking zone . After an argument with the tow truck driver , Danny attempts to `` drive '' their truck free of the tow truck , damaging the tow truck , nearly running over a security guard and crashing into a statue . Both men are arrested and charged with assault and disorderly conduct . Beth strikes a deal with the judge in which they have to log 150 hours of community service over the next 30 days , in lieu of 30 days in jail . They are to complete their service with Sturdy Wings , a big brother - big sister program led by Gayle Sweeny , a recovering addict . Gayle is aware of their court mandate and warns them that if they fail to meet her requirements they will be sent to prison . Wheeler is paired up with Ronnie a foul - mouthed streetwise miscreant obsessed with breasts , who has driven away all the other `` Bigs '' he has been paired with . Danny is assigned Augie , a nerdy teenager obsessed with medieval live action role - playing games . Danny is unable to find common ground with Augie while Ronnie takes a disliking to Wheeler . Danny considers choosing the jail sentence , but Wheeler insists that if they go to jail , they will get raped . They gradually bond with their `` littles '' . Ronnie and Wheeler share the experience of having been abandoned by their fathers while Danny learns about Augie 's medieval fantasy realm . Ronnie takes an interest in Wheeler 's favorite group , Kiss , and discovers that Wheeler shares his obsession with breasts , which Wheeler teaches him to control . Danny and Augie bond when they realize that they are both involved in the Sturdy Wings program against their will . Danny joins Augie 's live action role playing game , `` LAIRE '' ( Live Action Interactive Role - playing Explorers ) and attempts to reconcile with Beth , but to no avail ( Beth must commit to the break - up , stating that it is for the best ) . However , their good luck is short - lived . When Augie manages to sneak up on the King of LAIRE , Argotron the King lies and tells everyone that he killed Augie . Danny , defending Augie , confronts and then pushes the King , and gets himself and Augie banned from LAIRE forever . Later , Danny insults Augie 's mother and stepfather for refusing to support Augie 's hobby , earning their hatred . As soon as Augie 's parents kick Danny out of their house , Danny retorts , `` I 'd be psyched if he were my kid . '' Meanwhile , Wheeler takes Ronnie to a party and leaves him unsupervised , resulting in Ronnie walking home alone and a series of angry messages from Ronnie 's mother , Karen , on Wheeler 's cell - phone . Ronnie and Augie 's parents ask Sturdy Wings for new mentors , and Danny and Wheeler are expelled from the program , thus failing to complete their community service . Beth says that she will defend Danny and Wheeler in court , but can not make any promises , as they will eventually be sent to jail . Danny and Wheeler argue and go their separate ways . Danny convinces King Argotron to allow himself and Augie to fight that afternoon in the much - awaited battle royale . Wheeler gets permission from Karen to hang out with Ronnie after he gets out of jail , and earns Ronnie 's forgiveness . However , the King secretly warns the other members of Augie 's LAIRE `` country '' of Xanthia that allowing Augie to fight with them will lead to severe retribution in the game . They call Augie to tell him he 's too much of a liability and he has nowhere to turn . To form a new LAIRE country , Danny and Augie need four members and matching costumes . Danny asks Wheeler and Ronnie to join them . They arrive with Wheeler 's Kiss costumes and a Kiss - themed Minotaur truck , naming their new country `` Kiss - My - Anthia '' . After a betrayal by his former Xanthian allies , Augie finally duels with the king , defeating him . A hidden player , Sarah , who goes by Esplen in LAIRE , then attacks and defeats Augie ; she is crowned the new queen and chooses Augie as her king - consort . Augie 's parents forgive Danny . Impressed with having seen that Wheeler and Danny care for the children , Gayle clears their names with the judge . Danny serenades Beth with a rendition of the Kiss song `` Beth '' and they happily reconcile .

Board of Education trial , see Separate but Equal ( film ) . Part of a series of articles on Racial segregation Apartheid sign from South Africa South Africa Apartheid legislation Bantustan Bantu Education Act Group Areas Acts Pass laws United States Separate but equal Sundown town Black Codes Jim Crow laws Auto - segregation Residential segregation Housing segregation Blockbusting Racial steering Redlining School segregation Segregation academy Black school Separate but equal was a legal doctrine in United States constitutional law according to which racial segregation did not violate the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution , adopted during the Reconstruction Era , which guaranteed `` equal protection '' under the law to all citizens . Under the doctrine , as long as the facilities provided to each race were equal , state and local governments could require that services , facilities , public accommodations , housing , medical care , education , employment , and transportation be segregated by race , which was already the case throughout the former Confederacy . The phrase was derived from a Louisiana law of 1890 , although the law actually used the phrase `` equal but separate '' . The doctrine was confirmed in the Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court decision of 1896 , which allowed state - sponsored segregation . Though segregation laws existed before that case , the decision emboldened segregation states during the Jim Crow era , which had commenced in 1876 and supplanted the Black Codes , which restricted the civil rights and civil liberties of African - Americans during the Reconstruction Era . 18 states had segregation laws . In practice the separate facilities provided to African Americans were rarely equal ; usually they were not even close to equal , or they did not exist at all . For example , according to the 1934 - 36 report of the Florida Superintendent of Public Instruction , the value of `` white school property '' in the state was $70,543,000 , while the value of African - American school property was $4,900,000 . The report says that `` in a few south Florida counties and in most north Florida counties many Negro schools are housed in churches , shacks , and lodges , and have no toilets , water supply , desks , blackboards , etc . Counties use these schools as a means to get State funds and yet these counties invest little or nothing in them . '' High school education for African - Americans was provided in only 28 of Florida 's 67 counties . The doctrine of separate but equal was overturned by a series of Supreme Court decisions , starting with Brown v. Board of Education of 1954 . However , the overturning of segregation laws in the United States was a long process that lasted through much of the 1950s , 1960s , and 1970s , involving federal legislation ( especially the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ) , and many court cases . Contents ( hide ) 1 Origins 2 Rejection 3 See also 4 References 5 Further reading 6 External links Origins ( edit ) The American Civil War ( 1861 -- 1865 ) brought slavery in the United States to an end , with the Emancipation Proclamation during the war , and the Thirteenth Amendment shortly after . Following the war , the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution guaranteed equal protection under the law to all citizens , and Congress established the Freedmen 's Bureau to assist the integration of former slaves into Southern society . After the end of Reconstruction with the Compromise of 1877 , and the withdrawal of federal troops from all Southern states , former slave - holding states enacted various laws to undermine the equal treatment of African Americans , although the Fourteenth Amendment as well as federal Civil Rights laws enacted during reconstruction were meant to guarantee it . However , Southern states contended that the requirement of equality could be met in a manner that kept the races separate . Furthermore , the state and federal courts tended to reject the pleas by African Americans that their Fourteenth Amendment rights were violated , arguing that the Fourteenth Amendment applied only to federal , not state , citizenship . This rejection is evident in the Slaughter - House Cases and Civil Rights Cases . After the end of Reconstruction , the federal government adopted a general policy of leaving racial segregation up to the individual states . One example of this policy was the second Morrill Act ( Morrill Act of 1890 ) . Before the end of the war , the Morrill Land - Grant Colleges Act ( Morrill Act of 1862 ) had provided federal funding for higher education by each state with the details left to the state legislatures . The 1890 Act which implicitly accepted the legal concept of separate but equal for the 17 states which had institutionalized segregation . Provided , That no money shall be paid out under this act to any State or Territory for the support and maintenance of a college where a distinction of race or color is made in the admission of students , but the establishment and maintenance of such colleges separately for white and colored students shall be held to be a compliance with the provisions of this act if the funds received in such State or Territory be equitably divided as hereinafter set forth . Prior to the Second Morrill Act , 17 states excluded blacks from access to the land grant colleges without providing similar educational opportunities . In response to the Second Morrill Act , 17 states established separate land grant colleges for blacks which are now referred to as public historically black colleges and universities ( HBCUs ) . In fact , some states adopted laws prohibiting schools from educating blacks and whites together , even if a school was willing to do so . ( The Constitutionality of such laws was upheld in Berea College v. Kentucky , 211 U.S. 45 ( 1908 ) . ) Under the ' separate but equal doctrine ' , blacks were entitled to receive the same public services and accommodations such as schools , bathrooms , and water fountains , but states were allowed to maintain different facilities for the two groups . The legitimacy of such laws under the 14th Amendment was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in the 1896 case of Plessy v. Ferguson , 163 U.S. 537 . The Plessy doctrine was extended to the public schools in Cumming v. Richmond County Board of Education , 175 U.S. 528 ( 1899 ) . A restaurant in Lancaster , Ohio , in 1938 . Although the Constitutional doctrine required equality , the facilities and social services offered to African - Americans were almost always of lower quality than those offered to white Americans ; for example , many African American schools received less public funding per student than nearby white schools . In Texas , the state established a state - funded law school for white students without any law school for black students . In 1892 , Homer Plessy , who was of mixed ancestry and appeared to be white , boarded an all - white railroad car between New Orleans and Covington , Louisiana . The conductor of the train collected passenger tickets at their seats . When Plessy told the conductor he was 7 / 8ths white and 1 / 8th black , he was advised he needed to move to a coloreds - only car . Plessy said he resented sitting in a coloreds - only car and was arrested immediately . One month after his arrest , Plessy appeared in court before Judge John Howard Ferguson . Plessy 's lawyer , Albion Tourgee , claimed Plessy 's 13th and 14th amendment rights were violated . The 13th amendment abolished slavery , and the 14th amendment granted equal protection to all under the law . The Supreme Court decision in Plessy v. Ferguson established the phrase `` separate but equal '' . The ruling `` ( required ) railway companies carrying passengers in their coaches in that State to provide equal , but separate , accommodations for the white and colored races ... '' . Accommodations provided on each railroad car were required to be the same as those provided on the others . Separate railroad cars could be provided . The railroad could refuse service to passengers who refused to comply , and the Supreme Court ruled this did not infringe upon the 13th and 14th amendments . The `` separate but equal '' doctrine applied to railroad cars and to schools , voting rights , and drinking fountains . Segregated schools were created for students , as long as they followed `` separate but equal '' . The majority of all black schools received old textbooks , used equipment , and poorly prepared or trained teachers . A study conducted by the American Psychological Association found that black students were emotionally impaired when segregated at a young age . State voting right restrictions , such as literacy tests and poll taxes created an environment that made it almost impossible for blacks to vote . This era also saw separate drinking fountains in public areas . The `` Separate but Equal '' doctrine was eventually overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of Brown v. Board of Education in 1954 . Modern legal doctrine interprets the 14th amendment to prohibit explicit segregation on the basis of race . Rejection ( 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 . ( March 2014 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The repeal of such restrictive laws , generally known as Jim Crow laws , was a key focus of the Civil Rights Movement prior to 1954 . In Sweatt v. Painter , the Supreme Court addressed a legal challenge to the doctrine by a student seeking admission to a state - supported law school in Texas . Because Texas did not have a law school for blacks , the lower court delayed the case until Texas could create one . However , the Supreme Court ordered that the student be admitted to the white law school on the grounds that the separate school failed to qualify as being `` equal , '' both because of quantitative differences in facilities and intangible factors , such as its isolation from most of the future lawyers with whom its graduates would interact . The court held that , when considering graduate education , intangibles must be considered as part of `` substantive equality . '' The same day , the Supreme Court in McLaurin v. Oklahoma State Regents ruled that Oklahoma segregation laws which required a graduate student working on a Doctor of Education degree to sit in the hallway outside the classroom door did not qualify as ' separate but equal . ' These cases ended ' separate but equal ' in graduate and professional education . In Brown v. Board of Education , 347 U.S. 483 ( 1954 ) , attorneys for the NAACP referred to the phrase `` equal but separate '' used in Plessy v. Ferguson as a custom de jure racial segregation enacted into law . The NAACP , led by the soon - to - be first black Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall , was successful in challenging the constitutional viability of the separate but equal doctrine , and the court voted to overturn sixty years of law that had developed under Plessy . The Supreme Court outlawed segregated public education facilities for blacks and whites at the state level . The companion case of Bolling v. Sharpe , 347 U.S. 497 outlawed such practices at the Federal level in the District of Columbia . The court held : We conclude that , in the field of public education , the doctrine of `` separate but equal '' has no place . Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal . Therefore , we hold that the plaintiffs and others similarly situated for whom the actions have been brought are , by reason of the segregation complained of , deprived of the equal protection of the laws guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment . Although Brown overturned the doctrine of separate but equal with respect to institutions of public education , it would be almost ten more years before the Civil Rights Act of 1964 would prohibit private discrimination in facilities , such as transportation and hotels , that were considered public accommodations . Additionally , in 1967 under Loving v. Virginia , the United States Supreme Court declared Virginia 's anti-miscegenation statute , the `` Racial Integrity Act of 1924 '' , unconstitutional , and invalidated all anti-miscegenation laws in the United States . Although federal legislation prohibits racial discrimination in college admissions , the historically black colleges and universities continue to teach student bodies that are 75 % to 90 % African American . This however does not necessarily indicate racial discrimination within college admissions in those schools when factors such as student preference are taken into account . In 1975 , Jake Ayers Sr. filed a lawsuit against Mississippi , stating that they gave more financial support to the predominantly white public colleges . The state settled the lawsuit in 2002 , directing $503 million to three historically black colleges over 17 years .

"The doctrine was confirmed in the Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court decision of 1896, which allowed state-sponsored segregation. Though segregation laws existed before that case, the decision emboldened segregation states during the Jim Crow era, which had commenced in 1876 and supplanted the Black Codes, which restricted the civil rights and civil liberties of African-Americans during the Reconstruction Era. 18 states had segregation laws."

It was written in a period of one day at Page 's home in Malibu , California , with Cowell giving the idea to base it on the Christian poem `` Footprints '' .

It was recorded in 2007 at Rokstone Studios in London , England . Cowell originally came up with the idea to base a song around the Christian poem `` Footprints '' , and suggested it to Kreuger and Magnusson . They had a scheduled session in Page 's home in Malibu , California and finished the song the next day . Cowell secured a songwriting credit for coming up with the idea . In an interview with HitQuarters , Magnusson said they had thought the song would be a good idea for Irish boy band Westlife , but it was offered to British singer Leona Lewis instead . When Cowell mentioned the song concept to Lewis , she agreed that it could be `` really quite interesting '' . Regarding the song , Lewis commented : `` Originally it was a poem ; it 's very inspirational so we put it into a song . I think it is very moving , with a very emotional lyric and I really love to sing this song '' ; and added that the poem `` ( is ) about standing by someone and being there for people who need your help . '' `` Footprints in the Sand '' was included on Lewis 's debut studio album Spirit , which was released in 2007 by Syco and J Records . The song has a duration of 4 : 09 and was composed using common time in the key of A ♭ major with a larghetto tempo of sixty beats per minute ; Lewis 's vocals spanned from the low note of E ♭ to the high note of G ♯ . The song follows the sequence of A ♭ -- A ♭ / B ♭ -- Fm -- E ♭ in the verses and A ♭ -- B ♭ -- B ♭ m -- Fm -- G ♭ -- D ♭ in the chorus as its chord progression . It incorporates four instruments : keyboard instruments ( a piano , an organ and synthesizers ) , guitar , bass and drums , and includes a choir performance made by The Tuff Session Singers . It incorporates elements of R&B and pop musical genres , and , according to music critics , contains a gospel production performed by a choir and features `` crashing drums '' . Release and promotion ( edit ) On 29 January 2008 , Lewis announced on her website that `` Footprints in the Sand '' , along with `` Better in Time '' , would be released as a double A-side . The single was launched with the song `` You Bring Me Down '' as the B - side , and was released in the United Kingdom as a digital download on 9 March 2008 , and a physical release on the following day , with proceeds going to the charity . The song was remixed for the single release ( `` Single Mix '' ) , which , unlike the original version , begins with Lewis 's voice only , and music starts after she performs the first verse -- the album version of `` Footprints in the Sand '' starts with a piano tune before she starts to sing the lyrics -- , and lasts at 3 : 58 . `` Footprints in the Sand '' became the official song of the charity Sport Relief , a biennial charity organised by Comic Relief and BBC Sport , for their 2008 broadcast . In her performance , Lewis sang the song to the Sports Relief event . Also , there were musicians that played violas , violins , and a piano , and The Tuff Session Singers performed the chorus . Whilst she sang , images of `` sadness and desperation '' were shown to the public . But , as the Tuff Session Singers began , the third chorus , those images became pictures of `` happiness '' . As part of promotion , Lewis performed the song live on the British television programme Dancing on Ice on 9 March 2008 ; her song accompanied Torvill and Dean 's ice dance routine . In 2013 , Lewis added the song to the setlist of her Glassheart Tour . Music video ( edit ) The music video was filmed in Johannesburg , South Africa . In it , images of poverty of the city ( an urban area pictured ) are shown . The accompanying music video was filmed in Johannesburg , South Africa , and was directed by British director Sophie Muller back - to - back with the video for `` Better in Time '' . It premiered on Lewis official website and BBC Radio 1 's website on 27 February 2008 . The video begins with the message `` Working to change lives across the world , in support of Sport Relief '' . Then , it intercuts a performance of Lewis in front of a wall and greyscale scenes : an image of a child walking on a landfill site , a funeral , a child lying in the street , and a kid sat in a traffic island . As the first chorus begins , the video continues showing scenes of poverty and AIDS issues in the country . Whilst the second verse goes , pictures of malnourished people appears . As the second chorus and the bridge elapse people crying still coming on the scene . But whereas The Tuff Session Singers start to sing the third chorus , the video begins to show images of kids playing association football and cricket . The video ends with children smiling as Lewis sings the outro of the song . It was released on the US iTunes Store on 3 February 2009 . Reception ( edit ) Critical response ( edit ) Upon the release of Spirit , `` Footprints in the Sand '' received generally positive reviews by music critics , with some of them comparing Lewis 's performance to other singers such as Mariah Carey and Christina Aguilera . In his review of the album , Chris Elwell - Sutton of the Evening Standard commented that the song would be perfect as a `` theme to a Disney movie '' . Whilst reviewing Spirit , Chad Grischow of IGN Music described `` Footprints in the Sand '' , along with `` Here I Am '' , as a `` sleeper ballad '' . Lyndsey Winship , a reviewer from BBC Music , noted that the song `` is a piano warbler that brings Leona 's voice to the forefront '' . Sarah - Louise James of Daily Star commented that it contains some Westlife elements , and it would be perfect for a chick flick soundtrack . A reviewer for South African news site iafrica.com described the song as a `` show - stopping ( ... ) lush Mariah - style ballad ( ... ) that utilises Lewis ' ( s ) full vocal range and sounds uncannily like Carey at her best . Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine called it `` drippy '' , and added that with `` Footprints '' Lewis would receive comparisons to Carey . Digital Spy 's reviewers gave similar opinions about `` Footprints in the Sand '' . Nick Levine in his review of the album called the song an `` histrionic finale '' of Spirit , and added that it `` seems hellbent on revisiting Mariah Carey 's schlock - pop masterwork ' Anytime You Need a Friend ' '' . After it was released as a single Alex Fletcher claimed it has `` the sort of ludicrous outro even Mariah Carey might consider over-the - top '' and that its lyrics `` will have your granny in tears '' . Chart performance ( edit ) With the double A-side `` Better in Time '' / `` Footprints in the Sand '' , Lewis gained her third consecutive top - five single in the United Kingdom . `` Footprints in the Sand '' charted in Europe , reaching position seventy - three on the European Hot 100 Singles .

Please improve this by adding secondary or tertiary sources . ( May 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) For the R&B singer , see J'Son ( singer ) . J'son Publication information Publisher Marvel Comics First appearance Marvel Preview # 11 ( June 1977 ) Created by Chris Claremont ( writer ) John Byrne ( artist ) In - story information Alter ego J'son Species Spartoi Notable aliases Jason of Spartax , Mister Knife J'son is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics . He is the father of Star - Lord . Contents ( hide ) 1 Publication history 2 Fictional character biography 3 Powers and abilities 4 Other versions 4.1 Earth - 791 4.2 Inhumans Vol. 3 5 In other media 5.1 Television 5.2 Film 6 References 7 External links Publication history ( edit ) Emperor Jason of Spartax first appeared in Marvel Preview # 11 and was created by Chris Claremont and John Byrne . Emperor Jason was the father of the Star - Lord character who had been introduced in Marvel Preview # 4 . In 2000 , a character named Prince Jason of Spartax is introduced in Inhumans Vol. 3 # 2 . He was originally meant to be the same Marvel Preview # 11 Jason , but from earlier in time . After 2004 when Peter Quill was introduced into the Earth - 616 continuity , the problems that were caused by Quill 's presence in the then present - day Marvel Universe were never officially explained by Marvel Comics . In 2013 , King J'son of Spartax was introduced in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 # 0.1 . As reimagined by writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Steve McNiven , this character is definitively identified as being the father of the Star - Lord who existed in the present - day Marvel Universe of Earth - 616 . Due to the continuity issues that this revised origin story caused , Marvel Comics decided that there were two versions of Star - Lord and that the events of Marvel Preview # 11 and other appearances of the `` classic '' Star - Lord were to be officially designated as occurring in Earth - 791 . It is assumed that Prince Jason of Spartax from Inhumans Vol. 3 still exists in Earth - 616 , but is a different character from Emperor J'son of Spartax from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 . There is no official explanation for these continuity issues . Fictional character biography ( edit ) When J'son's ship crash lands on Earth , he is taken in by Meredith Quill . The two form a relationship while J'son makes repairs to his ship . Eventually , J'son is forced to leave to return home and fight in a war . He leaves , not knowing Meredith is pregnant with Peter Quill . Years later , J'son is revealed to be the King of the Spartax planetary system . J'son joined other members of the Galactic Council to declare the Earth off - limits to extraterrestrial interaction . Once his son defended Earth from a Badoon attack , J'son sent Spartoi soldiers to capture him and his team called the Guardians of the Galaxy . However , the Guardians managed to escape and flee . In an attempt to finally get rid of the Guardians and make his son join him , all of the Guardians were separately dealt with by the Spartoi and its allies . However , they did n't count with the Guardians ' ally Captain Marvel , who saved Peter Quill from J'son and the Spartoi Empire . As he was escaping , Quill discredited J'son to the whole empire revealing him as a heartless murderer . The entire Spartoi Empire rebelled against J'son , who was forced to flee . With no longer an empire or fortune as seen in The Black Vortex storyline , J'son became the villain known as Mister Knife and started building a criminal empire . He put a bounty on his son , and also assembled the Slaughter Squad to recover the Black Vortex . Because of the price put on his head , Star - Lord began raiding Mister Knife 's crime syndicate , unaware that he was dealing with his own father . After the Slaughter Squad managed to finally capture Star - Lord while he was on a date with Kitty Pryde , Mister Knife revealed his identity to his son . After Peter escaped with the help of Kitty Pryde , who traveled all the way from Earth to save him , J'son was tracked down to a planet where Thanos ' son Thane is and convinced him to join his cause . After Star - Lord and Kitty Pryde decided to steal the Black Vortex from J'son with the sole purpose to annoy him , Mister Knife sent the Slaughter Lords to hunt them down and recover the Vortex . After numerous failed attempts to recover the Vortex , Mister Knife managed to get his hands on it . As part of a deal with Thane , he submitted to the Black Vortex and used his cosmically enhanced power to encase the entirety of Spartax in his amber construct . The trapped Spartax was later traded to the Brood by Mister Knife , in exchange for taking advantage of their expansion and acquiring one planet for every ten worlds they conquered ever since . At a moment when Captain Marvel retrieved the Black Vortex , she was cornered by Thane and J'son , who demanded she give them the Vortex back . When Thane tried to use his powers to encase Carol in amber , she used the Black Vortex as a shield and deflected the attack towards J'son . J'son remained encased in the amber construct floating through Spartax 's orbit , until he was found by the Collector , who was too late to recover the Vortex , but settled for adding J'son to his collection . J'son's amber construct imprisonment was later recovered by his daughter Victoria and brought back to Spartax . Powers and abilities ( edit ) J'son of Spartax uses Spartax weapons . Other versions ( edit ) Earth - 791 ( edit ) Jason first appears in Marvel Preview # 11 , but after Peter Quill 's introduction to Earth - 616 in 2004 , this issue and other appearances of `` classic '' Star - Lord have been officially designated as occurring in Earth - 791 due to continuity issues . In this issue , Star - Lord meets his father and learns of his past . Years earlier , Jason was summoned by his father when war broke out between the Spartoi and the Ariguans . On his way back home , he was forced to crash land on Earth , where he fell in love with a human woman named Meredith Quill . The two began a year - long relationship before Jason was forced to leave to wage war for Spartax . Wishing to shield Meredith from the pain of his departure , Jason erased her memories of him . Meredith would later go on to give birth to his son Peter Quill . Jason would eventually go on take his father 's place as emperor . After telling Star - Lord this story , Jason offered him a place as heir to the throne . Peter refused , and in his stead Jason adopted Kip Holm as future heir . Inhumans Vol. 3 ( edit ) Jason is from the Spartoi Empire where the Spartoi are a sister race to the Shi'ar , separating from their cousins millions of years ago . He was the only son of the previous Emperor Eson , and therefore was Prince and sole heir to the throne . Rejecting his idealism , the ruling Council of Ministers prevented J'son from taking the throne . The future emperor would be educated , as per Spartax tradition , by being brought up on dozens of the Empire 's planets working many professions , including servant , miner , poet , soldier and pilot - excelling in the latter two . When Ronan the Accuser of the Kree Empire forced the Inhuman Royal Family to attempt to assassinate the Empress Lilandra , ruler of the neighboring Shi'ar Empire during a wedding ceremony that would symbolically unite the Shi'ar and Spartoi , J'son ( who had been seen with the Inhumans ) was accused of being part of the plot . For this , he was banished and deemed unworthy of the throne . While the events of Inhumans Vol. 3 take place in Earth - 616 , this incarnation of Jason causes continuity issues with the J'son introduced in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 . For this reason , it is assumed that these are two difference characters , although no official explanation has been given for these continuity issues . In other media ( edit ) This section 's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed . Please help improve it by removing unnecessary details and making it more concise . ( July 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Television ( edit ) J'son appears in the Guardians of the Galaxy episode `` Do n't Stop Believing '' , voiced by Jonathan Frakes . He is the Emperor of Spartax and the father of Peter Quill by Meredith Quill as well as being the father of Captain Victoria . He first appears where he encounters the Guardians of the Galaxy and Mantis in his throne room . J'son eventually recognizes his own son due to them having the same elemental gun . When Mantis states that J'son is a tyrant and tries to attack him , she is subdued by the Guardians of the Galaxy and taken away by the guards still claiming that J'son is a tyrant . J'son allows his son to use his servants during his stay on Spartax . What Star - Lord does n't know is that J'son is in cahoots with Thanos where a deal has been arranged for J'son to bring the Cosmic Seed and Star - Lord to him when that day comes . In the episode `` Accidents Will Happen , '' J'son meets with the Galactic Council members Thor , Irani Rael , the Grand Commissioner of Rigel , and the Supreme Intelligence while introducing Star - Lord to Captain Victoria . As a reparation to the Supreme Intelligence , J'son plans to give him one of the asteroid refineries to the Kree Empire . In the episode `` We Are the World Tree , '' J'son has the unveiling of his latest statue while in the presence of Thor and Angela . Following an incident where Drax the Destroyer fought Thor resulting in the destruction of the unveiled statue , J'son has Drax , Gamora , Rocket Raccoon , and Groot banned from his palace . While speaking to his son , J'son tells him how he once went looking for the Cosmic Seed which led to events that led him to meeting Meredith Quill . While in his private room afterwards , J'son tells Thanos that they 'll have the Cosmic Seed soon , knowing his son would go after it . Later on , J'son pretends to be angry the Guardians were caught stealing , but is disappointed with Star - Lord 's inability to get the seed . Realizing J'son intended for it to happen , Quill revokes his right as heir to the throne and leaves with the Guardians . In the episode `` Come and Gut Your Love , '' Thanos starts getting impatient with J'son who then cuts off the transmission from Thanos when Star - Lord enters his office and gives him the CryptoCube to solve himself . After Star - Lord leaves , J'son finds that the CryptoCube is fake and calls his guards . Upon Star - Lord , Gamora , and Rocket Raccoon hijacking Rora , J'son sends a transmission to Rora to bring his son back to Spartax . Following the defeat of Lucy and Supergiant , Rora shows Star - Lord some archive footage where it was revealed that J'son had Yondu train Star - Lord to be a good thief while not wanting him to come to Spartax until the time is right . J'son's meeting with the Galactic Council is crashed by the Guardians of the Galaxy who show the footage of J'son's actions involving the Cosmic Seed . Thor states to J'son that what he has seen is an act of war . The other Galactic Council members hang up before the Guardians of the Galaxy could reveal other footages . J'son gets angered at what the Guardians of the Galaxy did and calls for his guards . In the episode `` Asgard War Part One : Lightning Strikes , '' J'son had the Guardians of the Galaxy imprisoned and has his armies prepare for the invasion from Asgard . After Captain Victoria secretly frees the Guardians of the Galaxy , they end up fighting their way past J'son's robots . Star - Lord ends up fighting his father until he manages to land on the Milano in order for the Guardians of the Galaxy to get to Thor . When Loki later meets with J'son , Thor and the Guardians of the Galaxy show up where Star - Lord uses the footage taken from the Destroyer armor to expose J'son having stolen the Cosmic Seed and Loki stealing it back from him . J'son then retaliates by hitting a button that causes Thanos and his army to show up . In the episode `` Asgard War Part Two : Rescue Me , '' J'son states to Thanos that they need his son alive to activate the CryptoCube causing Thanos to make off with Star - Lord . Before Victoria could arrest her father , J'son states that they need him to help retrieve Star - Lord . This causes the Guardians of the Galaxy to place him in special cuffs . When in range of Thanos ' fleet , J'son disables the Milano 's cloaking device and escapes into one of its pods . During the fight between Thanos ' forces , the Guardians of the Galaxy , and the Asgardians , Star - Lord briefly engaged his father in battle . After Thanos disappeared into a black hole , Captain Victoria and the Spartaxian fleet caught up to the Guardians of the Galaxy where J'son is arrested and removed from his position as Emperor of Spartax . In the episode `` Back in Black , '' it was revealed in a flashback that J'son had a secret laboratory on Spartax where he had Mantis and those like her experimented on where he became the patriarch of the Universal Believers . Mantis lures Sam Alexander to Spartax where she manipulates events that enabled him to free J'son . In the episode `` Knights in Black Helmets , '' J'son and Mantis take Sam Alexander to a Xandarian spaceship inside the stomach of a space whale where the Nova Centurian Helmets are held . After Mantis turns to stone and crumbles upon putting a fake one on , J'son manipulates events that enabled Sam to find the real Nova Centurian Helmets . After putting one on , he briefly fights the Guardians of the Galaxy and Sam before leaving with the Nova Centurian Helmets . In the episode `` Nova Me , Nova You , '' J'son poses as a police officer in order to get to Sam 's permanent records at his school . He attacks Sam in his class resulting in a fight that the Guardians of the Galaxy join . Following the resulting battle that damaged the school and football field , J'son poses as a police officer to speak to Mrs. Alexander . This later results in another with Sam and the Guardians of the Galaxy where Rhomann Dey and the Nova Corps join the battle . When J'son is about to go supernova the second time , Sam flies him into Earth 's atmosphere where he explodes . Star - Lord is unsure if J'son survived . Film ( edit ) In Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 , Ego the Living Planet is the father of the Marvel Cinematic Universe version of Star - Lord rather than J'son . Director and writer James Gunn explained why he made the change : `` I just do n't like the character ( J'son ) very much , '' he said . `` I also thought it was too much like a Star Wars thing because of the royalty and all of that .

7046629824544848651 | FIFA World Cup awards | FIFA World Cup awards - wikipedia FIFA World Cup awards This is the latest accepted revision , reviewed on 27 July 2018 . This article is about the men 's senior tournament . For the women 's tournament , see FIFA Women 's World Cup awards . At the end of each FIFA World Cup final tournament , several awards are presented to the players and teams which have distinguished themselves in various aspects of the game . Contents 1 Awards 2 Golden Ball 3 Golden Boot 4 Golden Glove 5 Best Young Player Award 6 FIFA Fair Play Trophy 7 Man of the Match 8 Most Entertaining Team 9 All - Star Team 10 Goal of the Tournament 11 References 12 External links Awards There are currently five post-tournament awards , and one given during the tournament : the Golden Ball ( currently commercially termed `` adidas Golden Ball '' ) for best player , first awarded in 1982 ; the Golden Boot ( currently commercially termed `` adidas Golden Boot '' , previously known as the `` adidas Golden Shoe '' from 1982 to 2006 ) for top goal scorer , first awarded in 1982 ; the Golden Glove Award ( currently commercially termed `` adidas Golden Glove '' ; previously known as the `` Lev Yashin Award '' from 1994 to 2006 ) for best goalkeeper , first awarded in 1994 ; the Best Young Player ( currently commercially termed as `` Hyundai Best Young Player '' ) award for best player under 21 years of age at the start of the calendar year , first awarded in 2006 ; the FIFA Fair Play Trophy for the team that advanced to the second round with the best record of fair play , first awarded in 1970 ; the Man of the Match Award ( currently commercially termed as `` Budweiser Man of the Match '' ) for outstanding performance during each game of the tournament , first awarded in 2002 . Two other awards were given between 1994 and 2006 : The Most Entertaining Team award for the team that has entertained the public the most , during the World Cup final tournament , as determined by a poll of the general public ; An All - Star Team comprising the best players of the tournament chosen by the technical study group . Golden Ball The Golden Ball award is presented to the best player at each FIFA World Cup finals , with a shortlist drawn up by the FIFA technical committee and the winner voted for by representatives of the media . Those who finish as runners - up in the vote receive the Silver Ball and Bronze Ball awards as the second and third most outstanding players in the tournament respectively . The current award was introduced in the 1982 FIFA World Cup , sponsored by Adidas and France Football , though fifa.com also lists in their player articles as `` golden ball winners '' Kempes , Cruyff , Pelé , Bobby Charlton , Garrincha and Didi for 1978 , 1974 , 1970 , 1966 , 1962 and 1958 respectively . Barcelona is the only club whose players have won the Golden Ball a record 3 times ( Johan Cruyff in 1974 , Romário in 1994 , Lionel Messi in 2014 ) . Golden Ball World Cup Golden Ball Silver Ball Bronze Ball 1930 Uruguay José Nasazzi Guillermo Stábile José Leandro Andrade 1934 Italy Giuseppe Meazza Matthias Sindelar Oldřich Nejedlý 1938 France Leônidas Silvio Piola György Sárosi 1950 Brazil Zizinho Juan Alberto Schiaffino Ademir 1954 Switzerland Ferenc Puskás Sándor Kocsis Fritz Walter 1958 Sweden Didi Pelé Just Fontaine 1962 Chile Garrincha Josef Masopust Leonel Sánchez 1966 England Bobby Charlton Bobby Moore Eusébio 1970 Mexico Pelé Gérson Gerd Müller 1974 West Germany Johan Cruyff Franz Beckenbauer Kazimierz Deyna 1978 Argentina Mario Kempes Paolo Rossi Dirceu 1982 Spain Paolo Rossi Falcão Karl - Heinz Rummenigge 1986 Mexico Diego Maradona Harald Schumacher Preben Elkjær Larsen 1990 Italy Salvatore Schillaci Lothar Matthäus Diego Maradona 1994 United States Romario Roberto Baggio Hristo Stoichkov 1998 France Ronaldo Davor Šuker Lilian Thuram 2002 Korea / Japan Oliver Kahn Ronaldo Hong Myung - bo 2006 Germany Zinedine Zidane Fabio Cannavaro Andrea Pirlo 2010 South Africa Diego Forlán Wesley Sneijder David Villa 2014 Brazil Lionel Messi Thomas Müller Arjen Robben 2018 Russia Luka Modrić Eden Hazard Antoine Griezmann Golden Boot The Golden Boot or Golden Shoe Award goes to the top goalscorer of the FIFA World Cup . While every World Cup had a ranking of the goalscorers , the first time an award was given was in 1982 , under the name Golden Shoe . It was rechristened Golden Boot in 2010 . FIFA sometimes lists the top goalscorers of previous Cups among the Golden Boot winners . If there is more than one player with the same number of goals , since 1994 the tie - breaker goes to the player without a penalty goal , if none has a penalty then the tie breaker goes to the person with more assists - with the FIFA Technical Study Group deciding whether an assist is to be counted as such . If there is still more than one player , the tie - breaker since 2006 goes to the player who has played the least amount of time , which translates to a higher goal average . Top Goalscorer World Cup Top goalscorer Goals Runners - up Goals Third place Goals 1930 Uruguay Guillermo Stábile 8 Pedro Cea 5 Bert Patenaude 1934 Italy Oldřich Nejedlý 5 Edmund Conen Angelo Schiavio None -- 1938 France Leônidas 7 György Sárosi Gyula Zsengellér Silvio Piola 5 1950 Brazil Ademir 8 Óscar Míguez Alcides Ghiggia Chico Estanislau Basora Telmo Zarra 1954 Switzerland Sándor Kocsis 11 Josef Hügi Max Morlock Erich Probst 6 None -- 1958 Sweden Just Fontaine 13 Pelé Helmut Rahn 1962 Chile Flórián Albert Valentin Ivanov Garrincha Vavá Dražan Jerković Leonel Sánchez None -- 1966 England Eusébio 9 Helmut Haller 6 Valeriy Porkujan Geoff Hurst Ferenc Bene Franz Beckenbauer 1970 Mexico Gerd Müller 10 Jairzinho 7 Teófilo Cubillas 5 1974 West Germany Grzegorz Lato 7 Andrzej Szarmach Johan Neeskens 5 None 1978 Argentina Mario Kempes 6 Teófilo Cubillas Rob Rensenbrink 5 Golden Shoe World Cup Golden Shoe Goals Silver Shoe Goals Bronze Shoe Goals 1982 Spain Paolo Rossi 6 Karl - Heinz Rummenigge 5 Zico 1986 Mexico Gary Lineker Emilio Butragueño Careca Diego Maradona None 1990 Italy Salvatore Schillaci Tomáš Skuhravý Roger Milla Gary Lineker 1994 United States Oleg Salenko Hristo Stoichkov None -- Kennet Andersson Romário 5 1998 France Davor Šuker Gabriel Batistuta Christian Vieri 5 None 2002 South Korea / Japan Ronaldo 8 Miroslav Klose Rivaldo 2006 Germany Miroslav Klose 5 Hernán Crespo Ronaldo Golden Boot World Cup Golden Boot Goals Silver Boot Goals Bronze Boot Goals 2010 South Africa Thomas Müller 5 David Villa 5 Wesley Sneijder 5 2014 Brazil James Rodríguez 6 Thomas Müller 5 Neymar 2018 Russia Harry Kane Antoine Griezmann Romelu Lukaku Notes Jump up ^ FIFA initially credited Nejedlý with only four goals , which would make him joint top scorer with Angelo Schiavio of Italy and Edmund Conen of Germany . However , FIFA changed it to five goals in November 2006 , making Nejedlý the outright top scorer . Jump up ^ FIFA initially credited Leônidas with eight goals . However , in November 2006 , FIFA confirmed that in the quarter - final tie against Czechoslovakia , he had scored once , not twice as FIFA had originally recorded , meaning he had scored only seven goals in total . Jump up ^ There was controversy regarding the number of goals Brazilian Ademir had scored in 1950 , as a result of incomplete data concerning the Final Round game Brazil vs. Spain ( 6 -- 1 ) . The 5 -- 0 goal had been credited to Jair , but is now credited to Ademir . Jump up ^ Salenko is the only player to win the award playing for a team that were eliminated in the group stages . His six goals are the only international goals he ever scored . Jump up ^ Despite the assist tiebreaker , Salenko and Stoichkov remained tied with 6 goals and one assist each , and both received the Golden Shoe . Jump up ^ Romário and Andersson surpassed the other two players with five goals ( Jürgen Klinsmann and Roberto Baggio ) by having three assists each . Jump up ^ Both runners - up had the same number of assists , and each received the Silver Shoe . Jump up ^ During the tournament , after the group stage match against Costa Rica , Ronaldo logged a protest against the crediting of a goal as an own goal , and FIFA granted him the change . ^ Jump up to : Eight players had scored three goals . Ronaldo , Crespo and Zinedine Zidane stood out for having one assist , and then the two recipients were determined by less playtime ( 308 minutes for Crespo , 411 for Ronaldo , 559 for Zidane ) . ^ Jump up to : Müller , Villa , Sneijder and Diego Forlán tied with five goals . Müller won by virtue of having more assists ( 3 ) than the rest ( each had one ) . Villa won the Silver Boot due to playing fewer minutes than Sneijder , and Sneijder won the Bronze Boot due to having played fewer minutes than Forlán . Jump up ^ Neymar , Lionel Messi and Robin van Persie all had four goals in the tournament . Neymar received the Bronze Boot for playing fewer minutes than his competitors ( 480 ; Messi played 693 minutes , and Van Persie , 548 ) . ^ Jump up to : Griezmann , Lukaku , Denis Cheryshev , Cristiano Ronaldo and Kylian Mbappé tied with 4 goals . Griezmann won the Silver Boot by virtue of having more assists ( 2 ) than the rest ( Lukaku had one , the rest had zero ) . Lukaku won the Bronze Boot due to having more assists ( one ) than Cheryshev , Ronaldo or Mbappé ( zero ) . Golden Glove The Golden Glove Award is awarded to the best goalkeeper of the tournament . The award was introduced with the name Lev Yashin Award in 1994 , in honor of the late Soviet goalkeeper . The FIFA Technical Study Group recognises the top goalkeeper of the tournament based on the player 's performance throughout the final competition . Although goalkeepers have this specific award for their position , they are still eligible for the Golden Ball as well , as when Oliver Kahn was awarded in 2002 . Although the Golden Glove Award was first awarded in 1994 , every All - Star Team in World Cups prior to 1998 except 1990 included only one goalkeeper . In the event of a tie , the Golden Glove Award goes to the goalkeeper who progressed furthest in the competition . The next tiebreakers are saves made , then minutes played .

However, FIFA changed it to five goals in November 2006, making Nejedlý the outright top scorer.[14]\n\nJump up ^ FIFA initially credited Leônidas with eight goals. However, in November 2006, FIFA confirmed that in the quarter-final tie against Czechoslovakia, he had scored once, not twice as FIFA had originally recorded, meaning he had scored only seven goals in total.[14]\n\nJump up ^ There was controversy regarding the number of goals Brazilian Ademir had scored in 1950, as a result of incomplete data concerning the Final Round game Brazil vs. Spain (6–1). The 5–0 goal had been credited to Jair, but is now credited to Ademir.[15][16]\n\nJump up ^ Salenko is the only player to win the award playing for a team that were eliminated in the group stages. His six goals are the only international goals he ever scored.\n\nJump up ^ Despite the assist tiebreaker, Salenko and Stoichkov remained tied with 6 goals and one assist each, and both received the Golden Shoe.[9]\n\nJump up ^ Romário and Andersson surpassed the other two players with five goals (Jürgen Klinsmann and Roberto Baggio) by having three assists each.[9][19]\n\nJump up ^ Both runners-up had the same number of assists, and each received the Silver Shoe.\n\nJump up ^ During the tournament, after the group stage match against Costa Rica, Ronaldo logged a protest against the crediting of a goal as an own goal, and FIFA granted him the change.[22]\n\n^ Jump up to: a b Eight players had scored three goals. Ronaldo, Crespo and Zinedine Zidane stood out for having one assist, and then the two recipients were determined by less playtime (308 minutes for Crespo, 411 for Ronaldo, 559 for Zidane).[24]\n\n^ Jump up to: a b c Müller, Villa, Sneijder and Diego Forlán tied with five goals. Müller won by virtue of having more assists (3) than the rest (each had one). Villa won the Silver Boot due to playing fewer minutes than Sneijder, and Sneijder won the Bronze Boot due to having played fewer minutes than Forlán.[25]\n\nJump up ^ Neymar, Lionel Messi and Robin van Persie all had four goals in the tournament. Neymar received the Bronze Boot for playing fewer minutes than his competitors (480; Messi played 693 minutes, and Van Persie, 548).[26]\n\n^ Jump up to: a b Griezmann, Lukaku, Denis Cheryshev, Cristiano Ronaldo and Kylian Mbappé tied with 4 goals.

8658913176418748451 | Reserve currency | Reserve currency - wikipedia Reserve currency Jump to : navigation , search A reserve currency ( or anchor currency ) is a currency that is held in significant quantities by governments and institutions as part of their foreign exchange reserves . The reserve currency is commonly used in international transactions , international investments and all aspects of the global economy . It is often considered a hard currency or safe - haven currency . People who live in a country that issues a reserve currency can purchase imports and borrow across borders more cheaply than people in other nations because they do not need to exchange their currency to do so . By the end of the 20th century , the United States dollar was considered the world 's most dominant reserve currency . The world 's need for dollars has allowed the United States government as well as Americans to borrow at lower costs , granting them an advantage in excess of $100 billion per year .

International currencies in the past have included the Greek drachma , coined in the fifth century B.C. , the Roman denari , the Byzantine solidus and Arab dinar of the middle - ages , the Venetian ducato and the Florentine florin of the Renaissance , the seventeenth century Dutch guilder and the French franc . Under the gold standard , the predominant global financial system from 1870 to 1914 , paper notes were convertible into preset , fixed quantities of gold . The Dutch guilder emerged as a de facto world currency in the 18th century due to unprecedented domination of trade by the Dutch East India Company . However , the development of the modern concept of a reserve currency took place in the mid nineteenth century , with the introduction of national central banks and treasuries and an increasingly integrated global economy . By the 1860s , most industrialised countries had followed the lead of the United Kingdom and put their currency on to the gold standard . At that point the UK was the primary exporter of manufactured goods and services and over 60 % of world trade was invoiced in pound sterling . British banks were also expanding overseas , London was the world centre for insurance and commodity markets and British capital was the leading source of foreign investment around the world ; sterling soon became the standard currency used for international commercial transactions . John Maynard Keynes ( right ) and Harry Dexter White helped to draft the provisions of the post-war financial system . Here , they meet at the inaugural meeting of the International Monetary Fund , 1946 . Attempts were made in the interwar period to restore the gold standard . The British Gold Standard Act reintroduced the gold bullion standard in 1925 , followed by many other countries . This led to relative stability , followed by deflation , but because the onset of the Great Depression and other factors , global trade greatly declined and the gold standard fell . Speculative attacks on the pound forced Britain entirely off the gold standard in 1931 . After World War II , the international financial system was governed by a formal agreement , the Bretton Woods System . Under this system the United States dollar was placed deliberately as the anchor of the system , with the US government guaranteeing other central banks that they could sell their US dollar reserves at a fixed rate for gold . In the late 1960s and early 1970s , the system suffered setbacks ostensibly due to problems pointed out by the Triffin dilemma -- the conflict of economic interests that arises between short - term domestic objectives and long - term international objectives when a national currency also serves as a world reserve currency .

US dollar Euro German mark French franc Pound sterling Japanese yen Other Theory ( edit ) Economists debate whether a single reserve currency will always dominate the global economy . Many have recently argued that one currency will almost always dominate due to network externalities ( sometimes called `` the network effect '' ) , especially in the field of invoicing trade and denominating foreign debt securities , meaning that there are strong incentives to conform to the choice that dominates the marketplace . The argument is that , in the absence of sufficiently large shocks , a currency that dominates the marketplace will not lose much ground to challengers . However , some economists , such as Barry Eichengreen , argue that this is not as true when it comes to the denomination of official reserves because the network externalities are not strong . As long as the currency 's market is sufficiently liquid , the benefits of reserve diversification are strong , as it insures against large capital losses . The implication is that the world may well soon begin to move away from a financial system dominated uniquely by the US dollar . In the first half of the 20th century multiple currencies did share the status as primary reserve currencies . Although the British Sterling was the largest currency , both the French franc and the German mark shared large portions of the market until the First World War , after which the mark was replaced by the dollar . Since the Second World War , the dollar has dominated official reserves , but this is likely a reflection of the unusual domination of the American economy during this period , as well as official discouragement of reserve status from the potential rivals , Germany and Japan . The top reserve currency is generally selected by the banking community for the strength and stability of the economy in which it is used . Thus , as a currency becomes less stable , or its economy becomes less dominant , bankers may over time abandon it for a currency issued by a larger or more stable economy . This can take a relatively long time , as recognition is important in determining a reserve currency . For example , it took many years after the United States overtook the United Kingdom as the world 's largest economy before the dollar overtook the pound sterling as the dominant global reserve currency . In 1944 , when the US dollar was chosen as the world reference currency at Bretton Woods , it was only the second currency in global reserves . The G8 also frequently issues public statements as to exchange rates . In the past due to the Plaza Accord , its predecessor bodies could directly manipulate rates to reverse large trade deficits . Major reserve currencies ( edit ) Distribution of global reserve currencies United States dollar ( edit ) Main article : United States dollar The United States dollar is the most widely held currency in the Allocated Reserves today . Throughout the last decade , an average of two thirds of the total Allocated foreign exchange reserves of countries have been in US dollars . For this reason , the US dollar is said to have `` reserve - currency status '' , making it somewhat easier for the United States to run higher trade deficits with greatly postponed economic impact or even postponing a currency crisis . Central bank reserves held in dollar - denominated debt , however , are small compared to private holdings of such debt . In the event that non-United States holders of dollar - denominated assets decided to shift holdings to assets denominated in other currencies , there could be serious consequences for the US economy . Changes of this kind are rare , and typically change takes place gradually over time ; the markets involved adjust accordingly . However , the dollar remains the favorite reserve currency because it has stability along with assets such as United States Treasury security that have both scale and liquidity . The US dollar 's dominant position in global reserves is challenged occasionally , because of the growing share of unallocated reserves , and because of the doubt regarding dollar stability in the long term . However , in the aftermath of the financial crisis , the dollar 's share in the world 's foreign - exchange trades rose slightly from 85 % in 2010 to 87 % in 2013 . The dollar 's role as the undisputed reserve currency of the world allows the United States to impose unilateral sanctions against actions performed between other countries , for example the American fine against BNP Paribas for violations of U.S. sanctions that were not laws of France or the other countries involved in the transactions . In 2014 Beijing and Moscow signed a 150 billion yuan central bank liquidity swap line agreement to get around American sanctions on their behaviors . Euro ( edit ) Further information : International status and usage of the euro The euro is currently the second most commonly held reserve currency , comprising about a quarter of allocated holdings . After World War II and the rebuilding of the German economy , the German Deutsche Mark gained the status of the second most important reserve currency after the US dollar . When the euro was introduced on 1 January 1999 , replacing the Mark , French franc and ten other European currencies , it inherited the status of a major reserve currency from the Mark . Since then , its contribution to official reserves has risen continually as banks seek to diversify their reserves , and trade in the eurozone continues to expand . Former U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said in September 2007 that the euro could replace the U.S. dollar as the world 's primary reserve currency . It was `` absolutely conceivable that the euro will replace the US dollar as reserve currency , or will be traded as an equally important reserve currency . '' Econometric analysis by Jeffrey Frankel and Menzie Chinn in 2006 suggested that the euro could replace the U.S. dollar as the major reserve currency by 2020 if either the remaining EU members , including the UK and Denmark , adopted the euro by 2020 , or the recent depreciation trend of the dollar persisted into the future . In recent years , the euro 's share of the worldwide currency reserve basket has continued to increase -- albeit at a slower rate than before the beginning of the worldwide credit crunch related recession and Eurozone crisis , which harmed the euro and slowed its adoption . Since 2009 , the reserve currency use of the euro has continued to drop , down to 23.9 percent in 2013 . Other reserve currencies ( edit ) Dutch guilder ( edit ) The Dutch guilder was the de facto reserve currency in Europe in 17th and 18th centuries . Pound sterling ( edit ) The United Kingdom 's pound sterling was the primary reserve currency of much of the world in the 19th century and first half of the 20th century . The emergence of the USA as an economic superpower , and the establishment of the U.S. Federal Reserve System in 1913 , and U.S. economic dominance from the second half of the 20th century onward , as well as economic weakness in the UK at various times during the second half of the 20th century , resulted in Sterling losing its status as the world 's most important reserve currency : in the 1950s 55 % of global reserves were still held in sterling ; but the share was 10 % lower within 20 years . Since 2006 , with the exception of 2012 , Sterling is the third most widely held reserve currency , having seen a resurgence in popularity in recent years , growing from about 2.5 % to around 4 % of all currency reserves . Analysts said this resurgence was caused by carry - trade investors considering the pound as a stable high - yield proxy to the euro , and by the position of London in world financial affairs . Japanese yen ( edit ) Japan 's yen is part of the International Monetary Fund 's ( IMF ) special drawing rights ( SDR ) valuation . The SDR currency value is determined daily by the IMF , based on the exchange rates of the currencies making up the basket , as quoted at noon at the London market . The valuation basket is reviewed and adjusted every five years . The SDR Values and yen conversion for government procurement are used by the Japan External Trade Organization for Japan 's official procurement in international trade . Swiss franc ( edit ) The Swiss franc , despite gaining ground among the world 's foreign - currency reserves and being often used in denominating foreign loans , can not be considered as a world reserve currency , since the share of all foreign exchange reserves held in Swiss francs has historically been well below 0.5 % . The daily trading market turnover of the franc , however , ranked fifth , or about 3.4 % , among all currencies in a 2007 survey by the Bank for International Settlements . Canadian dollar ( edit ) A number of central banks ( and commercial banks ) keep Canadian dollars as a reserve currency . In the economy of the Americas , the Canadian dollar plays a similar role to that played by the Australian dollar ( AUD ) in the Asia - Pacific region . The Canadian dollar ( as a regional reserve currency for banking ) has been an important part of the British , French and Dutch Caribbean states ' economies and finance systems since the 1950s . The Canadian dollar is also held by many central banks in Central America and South America . It is held in Latin America because of remittances and international trade in the region . Because Canada 's primary foreign - trade relationship is with the United States , Canadian consumers , economists , and many businesses primarily define and value the Canadian dollar in terms of the United States dollar . Thus , by observing how the Canadian dollar floats in terms of the US dollar , foreign - exchange economists can indirectly observe internal behaviours and patterns in the US economy that could not be seen by direct observation . Also , because it is considered a petrodollar , the Canadian dollar has only fully evolved into a global reserve currency since the 1970s , when it was floated against all other world currencies . The Canadian dollar , since 2013 , is ranked 5th among foreign currency reserves in the world . Chinese yuan ( edit ) Main article : Internationalization of the renminbi Chinese yuan officially became a world reserve currency on November 30 , 2015 . It represents 10.92 % of the IMF 's Special Drawing Rights currency basket . This makes Chinese yuan the third reserve currency after the US dollar and Euro . Calls for an alternative reserve currency ( edit ) A report released by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development in 2010 , called for abandoning the U.S. dollar as the single major reserve currency . The report states that the new reserve system should not be based on a single currency or even multiple national currencies but instead permit the emission of international liquidity to create a more stable global financial system . Countries such as Russia and the People 's Republic of China , central banks , and economic analysts and groups , such as the Gulf Cooperation Council , have expressed a desire to see an independent new currency replace the dollar as the reserve currency . On 10 July 2009 , Russian President Medvedev proposed a new ' world currency ' at the G8 meeting in London as an alternative reserve currency to replace the dollar . China , Russia , India , Turkey , Brazil , Venezuela and other oil - producing countries have recently agreed `` to transact all of their mutual trade and investment in their own currencies '' effectively minimizing the need , at least in the short term , for a global reserve currency . Nevertheless , at the beginning of the 21st century , gold and crude oil were still priced in dollars , which helps export inflation and has brought complaints about OPEC 's policies of managing oil quotas to maintain dollar price stability . Special drawing rights ( edit ) Some have proposed the use of the International Monetary Fund 's ( IMF ) special drawing rights ( SDRs ) as a reserve . China has proposed using SDRs , calculated daily from a basket of U.S. dollar , euro , Japanese yen and British pounds , for international payments . On 3 September 2009 , the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development ( UNCTAD ) issued a report calling for a new reserve currency based on the SDR , managed by a new global reserve bank . The IMF released a report in February 2011 , stating that using SDRs `` could help stabilize the global financial system .

It is also known variously as the Boer War , Anglo - Boer War , or South African War . Initial Boer attacks were successful , and although British reinforcements later reversed these , the war continued for years with Boer guerrilla warfare , until harsh British counter-measures brought them to terms . The war started with the British overconfident and under - prepared . The Boers were very well armed and struck first , besieging Ladysmith , Kimberley , and Mahikeng in early 1900 , and winning important battles at Colenso , Magersfontein and Stormberg . Staggered , the British brought in large numbers of soldiers and fought back . General Redvers Buller was replaced by Lord Roberts and Lord Kitchener . They relieved the three besieged cities , and invaded the two Boer republics in late 1900 . The onward marches of the British Army , well over 400,000 men , were so overwhelming that the Boers did not fight staged battles in defence of their homeland . The British quickly seized control of all of the Orange Free State and Transvaal , as the civilian leadership went into hiding or exile . In conventional terms , the war was over . The British officially annexed the two countries in 1900 , and called a `` khaki election '' to give the government another six years of power in London . British military efforts were aided by Cape Colony , the Colony of Natal and some native African allies , and further supported by volunteers from the British Empire , including Southern Africa , the Australian colonies , Canada , India and New Zealand . All other nations were neutral , but public opinion in them was largely hostile to the British . Inside the UK and its Empire there also was significant opposition to the Second Boer War . The Boers refused to surrender . They reverted to guerrilla warfare under new generals Louis Botha , Jan Smuts , Christiaan de Wet and Koos de la Rey . Two more years of surprise attacks and quick escapes followed . As guerrillas without uniforms , the Boer fighters easily blended into the farmlands , which provided hiding places , supplies , and horses . The UK 's solution was to set up complex nets of block houses , strong points , and barbed wire fences , partitioning off the entire conquered territory . The civilian farmers were relocated into concentration camps , where very large proportions died of disease , especially the children , who mostly lacked immunities . Then British mounted infantry units systematically tracked down the highly mobile Boer guerrilla units . The battles at this stage were small operations with few combat casualties ( most of the dead were victims of disease ) . The war ended in surrender and British terms with the Treaty of Vereeniging in May 1902 . The British successfully won over the Boer leaders , who now gave full support to the new political system . Both former republics were incorporated into the Union of South Africa in 1910 , as part of the British Empire .

It is also known as the ( Second ) Anglo - Boer War among some South Africans . In Afrikaans it may be called the Anglo - Boereoorlog ( `` Anglo - Boer War '' ) , Tweede Boereoorlog ( `` Second Boer War '' ) , Tweede Vryheidsoorlog ( `` Second Freedom War '' ) or Engelse oorlog ( `` English War '' ) . In South Africa it is officially called the South African War . Origins ( edit ) The complex origins of the war resulted from more than a century of conflict between the Boers and Britain , but of particular immediate importance was the question as to who would control and benefit most from the very lucrative Witwatersrand gold mines . The first European settlement in South Africa was founded at the Cape of Good Hope in 1652 , and thereafter administered as part of the Dutch Cape Colony . The Cape was governed by the Dutch East India Company until its bankruptcy in the late 1700s , and thereafter directly by the Netherlands . The British occupied the Cape three times during the Napoleonic Wars as a result of political turmoil in the Netherlands , and the occupation became permanent after British forces defeated the Dutch at the Battle of Blaauwberg in 1806 . At the time , the colony was home to about 26,000 colonists settled under Dutch rule . A relative majority still represented old Dutch families brought to the Cape during the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries ; however , close to one - fourth of this demographic was of German origin and one - sixth , of French Huguenot descent . Cleavages were likelier to occur along socio - economic rather than ethnic lines , however , and broadly speaking the colonists included a number of distinct subgroups , namely the Boers . The Boers were itinerant farmers who lived on the colony 's frontiers , seeking better pastures for their livestock . Many Boers who were dissatisfied with aspects of British administration , in particular with Britain 's abolition of slavery on 1 December 1834 , elected to migrate away from British rule in what became known as the Great Trek . Around 15,000 trekking Boers departed the Cape Colony and followed the eastern coast towards Natal . After Britain annexed Natal in 1843 , they journeyed further northwards into South Africa 's vast eastern interior . There they established two independent Boer republics : the South African Republic ( 1852 ; also known as the Transvaal Republic ) and the Orange Free State ( 1854 ) . Britain recognised the two Boer republics in 1852 and 1854 , but attempted British annexation of the Transvaal in 1877 led to the First Boer War in 1880 -- 81 . After Britain suffered defeats , particularly at the Battle of Majuba Hill ( 1881 ) , the independence of the two republics was restored subject to certain conditions ; relations , however , remained uneasy . In 1866 diamonds were discovered at Kimberley , prompting a diamond rush and a massive influx of foreigners to the borders of the Orange Free State . Then in 1886 , gold was discovered in the Witwatersrand area of the South African Republic . Gold made the Transvaal the richest nation in southern Africa ; however , the country had neither the manpower nor the industrial base to develop the resource on its own . As a result , the Transvaal reluctantly acquiesced to the immigration of uitlanders ( foreigners ) , mainly English - speaking men from Britain , who came to the Boer region in search of fortune and employment . This resulted in the number of uitlanders in the Transvaal potentially exceeding the number of Boers , and precipitated confrontations between the earlier - arrived Boer settlers and the newer , non-Boer arrivals . Britain 's expansionist ideas ( notably propagated by Cecil Rhodes ) as well as disputes over uitlander political and economic rights resulted in the failed Jameson Raid of 1895 . Dr. Leander Starr Jameson , who led the raid , intended to encourage an uprising of the uitlanders in Johannesburg . However , the uitlanders did not take up arms in support , and Transvaal government forces surrounded the column and captured Jameson 's men before they could reach Johannesburg . As tensions escalated , political manoeuvrings and negotiations attempted to reach compromise on the issues of the rights of the uitlanders within the South African Republic , control of the gold mining industry , and Britain 's desire to incorporate the Transvaal and the Orange Free State into a federation under British control . Given the British origins of the majority of uitlanders and the ongoing influx of new uitlanders into Johannesburg , the Boers recognised that granting full voting rights to the uitlanders would eventually result in the loss of ethnic Boer control in the South African Republic . The June 1899 negotiations in Bloemfontein failed , and in September 1899 British Colonial Secretary Joseph Chamberlain demanded full voting rights and representation for the uitlanders residing in the Transvaal . Paul Kruger , the President of the South African Republic , issued an ultimatum on 9 October 1899 , giving the British government 48 hours to withdraw all their troops from the borders of both the Transvaal and the Orange Free State , albeit Kruger had ordered Commandos to the Natal border in early September and Britain only had troops in garrison towns far from the border , failing which the Transvaal , allied to the Orange Free State , would declare war on the British government . The British government rejected the South African Republic 's ultimatum , resulting in the South African Republic and Orange Free State declaring war on Britain . Phases ( edit ) The war had three phases . In the first phase , the Boers mounted preemptive strikes into British - held territory in Natal and the Cape Colony , besieging the British garrisons of Ladysmith , Mafeking , and Kimberley . The Boers then won a series of tactical victories at Colenso , Magersfontein , and Spion Kop . In the second phase , after the introduction of greatly increased British troop numbers under the command of Lord Roberts , the British launched another offensive in 1900 to relieve the sieges , this time achieving success . After Natal and the Cape Colony were secure , Britain was able to invade the Transvaal , and the republic 's capital , Pretoria , was ultimately captured in June 1900 . In the third and final phase , beginning in March 1900 and lasting a further two years , the Boers conducted a hard - fought guerrilla war , attacking British troop columns , telegraph sites , railways , and storage depots . To deny supplies to the Boer guerrillas , the British , now under the leadership of Lord Kitchener , responded with a scorched earth policy . They cleared whole areas , destroying Boer farms and moving the civilians into concentration camps . Some parts of the British press and British government expected the campaign to be over within months , and the protracted war gradually became less popular , especially after revelations about the conditions in the concentration camps ( where as many as 26,000 Afrikaner women and children died of disease and malnutrition ) . The Boer forces finally surrendered on Saturday , 31 May 1902 , with 54 of the 60 delegates from the Transvaal and Orange Free State voting to accept the terms of the peace treaty . This was known as the Treaty of Vereeniging , and under its provisions , the two republics were absorbed into the British Empire , with the promise of self - government in the future . This promise was fulfilled with the creation of the Union of South Africa in 1910 . The war had a lasting effect on the region and on British domestic politics . For Britain , the Second Boer War was the longest , the most expensive ( £ 200 million , almost £ 22 billion at 2015 prices ) , and the bloodiest conflict between 1815 and 1914 , lasting three months longer and resulting in more British combat casualties than the Crimean War ( 1853 -- 56 ) , although more soldiers died from disease in the Crimean War . Background ( edit ) Extent of the British Empire in 1898 , prior to the outbreak of the Second Boer War The geography of the region ; South African Republic / Transvaal Orange Free State British Cape Colony Natal The southern part of the African continent was dominated in the 19th century by a set of struggles to create within it a single unified state . While the Berlin Conference of 1884 -- 5 sought to draw boundaries between the European powers ' African possessions , it also set the stage for further scrambles . Britain attempted to annex first the South African Republic in 1880 , and then , in 1899 , both the South African Republic and the Orange Free State . In 1868 , Britain annexed Basutoland in the Drakensberg Mountains following an appeal from Moshesh , the leader of a mixed group of African refugees from the Zulu wars , who sought British protection against the Boers . In the 1880s , Bechuanaland ( modern Botswana , located north of the Orange River ) became the object of a dispute between the Germans to the west , the Boers to the east , and Britain 's Cape Colony to the south . Although Bechuanaland had no economic value , the `` Missionaries Road '' passed through it towards territory farther north . After the Germans annexed Damaraland and Namaqualand ( modern Namibia ) in 1884 , Britain annexed Bechuanaland in 1885 . In the First Boer War of 1880 -- 81 the Boers of the Transvaal Republic had proved skilful fighters in resisting the Britain 's attempt at annexation , causing a series of British defeats . The British government of William Ewart Gladstone had been unwilling to become mired in a distant war , requiring substantial troop reinforcement and expense , for what was at the time perceived to be a minimal return . An armistice followed , ending the war , and subsequently a peace treaty was signed with the Transvaal President Paul Kruger . In 1886 , a big gold field was discovered at an outcrop on a large ridge some 69 km ( 43 mi ) south of the Boer capital at Pretoria , it reignited British imperial interests . The ridge , known locally as the `` Witwatersrand '' ( white water ridge , a watershed ) contained the world 's largest deposit of gold - bearing ore . With the 1886 discovery of gold in the Transvaal , a gold rush brought thousands of British and other prospectors and settlers from across the globe and over the border from the Cape Colony ( under British control since 1806 ) . The city of Johannesburg sprang up as a shanty town nearly overnight as the uitlanders ( foreigners , white outsiders ) poured in and settled around the mines . The influx was such that the uitlanders quickly outnumbered the Boers in Johannesburg and along the Rand , although they remained a minority in the Transvaal . The Boers , nervous and resentful of the uitlanders ' growing presence , sought to contain their influence through requiring lengthy residential qualifying periods before voting rights could be obtained , by imposing taxes on the gold industry and by introducing controls through licensing , tariffs and administrative requirements . Among the issues giving rise to tension between the Transvaal government on the one hand and the uitlanders and British interests on the other , were Established uitlanders , including the mining magnates , wanted political , social , and economic control over their lives . These rights included a stable constitution , a fair franchise law , an independent judiciary and a better educational system . The Boers , for their part , recognised that the more concessions they made to the uitlanders the greater the likelihood -- with approximately 30,000 white male Boer voters and potentially 60,000 white male uitlanders -- that their independent control of the Transvaal would be lost and the territory absorbed into the British Empire . The uitlanders resented the taxes levied by the Transvaal government , particularly when this money was not spent on Johannesburg or uitlander interests , but diverted to projects elsewhere in the Transvaal . For example , as the gold - bearing ore sloped away from the outcrop underground to the south , more and more blasting was necessary for extraction , and mines consumed vast quantities of explosives . A box of dynamite costing five pounds included five shillings tax . Not only was this tax perceived as exorbitant , but British interests were offended when President Paul Kruger gave monopoly rights for the manufacture of the explosive to a non-British branch of the Nobel company , which infuriated Britain . The so - called `` dynamite monopoly '' became a casus belli .

At the time the Prime Minister of the Cape Colony was Cecil Rhodes , a man driven by a vision of a British controlled Africa extending from Cape to Cairo . Certain self - appointed uitlanders representatives and British mine owners became increasingly angered and frustrated by their dealings with the Transvaal government . A Reform Committee ( Transvaal ) was formed to represent the uitlanders . Jameson raid ( edit ) Main article : Jameson Raid A sketch showing the arrest of Jameson after the failed raid , in 1896 In 1895 , a plan was hatched with the connivance of the Cape Prime Minister Cecil Rhodes and Johannesburg gold magnate Alfred Beit to take Johannesburg , ending the control of the Transvaal government . A column of 600 armed men ( mainly made up of his Rhodesian and Bechuanaland British South Africa Policemen ) was led by Dr. Leander Starr Jameson ( the Administrator in Rhodesia of the British South Africa Company ( or Chartered Company ) of which Cecil Rhodes was the chairman ) over the border from Bechuanaland towards Johannesburg . The column was equipped with Maxim machine guns and some artillery pieces . The plan was to make a three - day dash to Johannesburg before the Boer commandos could mobilise and trigger an uprising by the primarily British expatriate workers ( uitlanders ) organised by the Reform Committee . The Transvaal authorities had advance warning of the Jameson Raid and tracked it from the moment it crossed the border . Four days later , the weary and dispirited column was surrounded near Krugersdorp within sight of Johannesburg . After a brief skirmish in which the column lost 65 killed and wounded -- while the Boers lost but one man -- Jameson 's men surrendered and were arrested by the Boers . The botched raid resulted in repercussions throughout southern Africa and in Europe . In Rhodesia , the departure of so many policemen enabled the Matabele and Mashona peoples to rise up against the Chartered Company , and the rebellion , known as the Second Matabele War , was suppressed only at great cost . A few days after the raid , the German Kaiser sent the Kruger telegram congratulating President Kruger and the government of the South African Republic on their success . When the text of this telegram was disclosed in the British press , it generated a storm of anti-German feeling . In the baggage of the raiding column , to the great embarrassment of Britain , the Boers found telegrams from Cecil Rhodes and the other plotters in Johannesburg . Joseph Chamberlain , the British Colonial Secretary , quickly moved to condemn the raid , despite having approved Rhodes ' plans to send armed assistance in the case of a Johannesburg uprising . Rhodes was severely censured at the Cape inquiry and the London parliamentary inquiry and forced to resign as Prime Minister of the Cape and as Chairman of the Chartered Company , for having sponsored the failed coup d'état . The Boer government handed their prisoners over to the British for trial . Jameson was tried in England for leading the raid where the British press and London society inflamed by anti-Boer and anti-German feeling and in a frenzy of jingoism , lionised Jameson and treated him as a hero . Although sentenced to 15 months imprisonment ( which he served in Holloway ) , Jameson was later rewarded by being named Prime Minister of the Cape Colony ( 1904 -- 08 ) and ultimately anointed as one of the founders of the Union of South Africa . For conspiring with Jameson , the uitlander members of the Reform Committee ( Transvaal ) were tried in the Transvaal courts and found guilty of high treason . The four leaders were sentenced to death by hanging but this sentence was next day commuted to 15 years ' imprisonment . In June 1896 , the other members of the Committee were released on payment of £ 2,000 each in fines , all of which were paid by Cecil Rhodes . One Reform Committee member , Frederick Gray , had committed suicide while in Pretoria gaol , on 16 May , and his death was a factor in softening the Transvaal government 's attitude to the remaining prisoners . Jan C. Smuts wrote in 1906 , The Jameson Raid was the real declaration of war ... And that is so in spite of the four years of truce that followed ... ( the ) aggressors consolidated their alliance ... the defenders on the other hand silently and grimly prepared for the inevitable `` . Escalation and War ( edit ) Paul Kruger , leader of the South African Republic ( Transvaal ) The Jameson Raid alienated many Cape Afrikaners from Britain and united the Transvaal Boers behind President Kruger and his government . It also had the effect of drawing the Transvaal and the Orange Free State ( led by President Martinus Theunis Steyn ) together in opposition to perceived British imperialism . In 1897 , a military pact was concluded between the two republics . Arming the Boers ( edit ) President Paul Kruger re-equipped the Transvaal army , importing 37,000 of the latest Mauser Model 1895 rifles , and some 40 to 50 million rounds of ammunition . The best modern European artillery was also purchased . By October 1899 the Transvaal State Artillery had 73 heavy guns , including four 155 mm Creusot fortress guns and 25 37 mm Maxim Nordenfeldt guns . The Transvaal army had been transformed ; approximately 25,000 men equipped with modern rifles and artillery could mobilise within two weeks . President Kruger 's victory in the Jameson Raid incident did nothing to resolve the fundamental problem of finding a formula to conciliate the uitlanders , without surrendering the independence of the Transvaal . British case for War ( edit ) The failure to gain improved rights for uitlanders became a pretext for war and a justification for a big military buildup in Cape Colony . The case for war was developed and espoused as far away as the Australian colonies . The Cape Colony Governor , Sir Alfred Milner , Cape Prime Minister Cecil Rhodes , the Colonial Secretary Joseph Chamberlain , and mining syndicate owners ( Randlords , nicknamed the gold bugs ) , such as Alfred Beit , Barney Barnato , and Lionel Phillips favoured annexation of the Boer republics . Confident that the Boers would be quickly defeated , they planned and organised a short war , citing the uitlanders ' grievances as the motivation for the conflict . The influence of the war party with the British government was limited . Lord Salisbury , the Prime Minister , despised jingoism and jingoists . He also distrusted the abilities of the British Army . Yet he led Britain into war because he believed the British government had an obligation to British South Africans , because he thought that the Transvaal , the Orange Free State , and the Cape Boers aspired to a Dutch South Africa and that the achievement of such a state would damage British imperial prestige and because of the Boers treatment of black South Africans ( Salisbury had referred to the London Convention of 1884 , after the British defeat , as an agreement ' really in the interest of slavery ' ) . Salisbury was not alone in this concern over the treatment of black South Africans ; Roger Casement , already well on the way to becoming an Irish Nationalist , was nevertheless happy to gather intelligence for the British against the Boers because of their cruelty to Africans . Given this sense of caution among members of the British cabinet and of the army , it is even harder to understand why the British government went against the advice of its generals ( such as Wolseley ) to send substantial reinforcements to South Africa before war broke out . Lansdowne , Secretary of State for War , did not believe the Boers were preparing for war and also believed that if Britain were to send large numbers of troops , it would strike too aggressive a posture and so prevent a negotiated settlement being reached or even encourage a Boer attack . Negotiations fail ( edit ) President Steyn of the Orange Free State invited Milner and Kruger to attend a conference in Bloemfontein . The conference started on 30 May 1899 but negotiations quickly broke down , despite Kruger 's offer of concessions . In September 1899 , Chamberlain sent an ultimatum demanding full equality for British citizens resident in Transvaal . Kruger , seeing that war was inevitable , simultaneously issued his own ultimatum prior to receiving Chamberlain 's . This gave Britain 48 hours to withdraw all their troops from the border of Transvaal or the Transvaal , allied with the Orange Free State , would declare war . News of the ultimatum reached London on the day it expired . Outrage and laughter were the main responses . The editor of the Times laughed out loud when he read it , saying ' an official document is seldom amusing and useful yet this was both ' . The Times denounced the ultimatum as an ' extravagant farce ' and The Globe denounced this ' trumpery little state ' . Most editorials were similar to the Daily Telegraph , which declared : ' of course there can only be one answer to this grotesque challenge . Kruger has asked for war and war he must have ! ' Such views were far from those of the British government and from those in the army . To most sensible observers , army reform had been a matter of pressing concern from the 1870s , constantly put off because the British public did not want the expense of a larger , more professional army and because a large home army was not politically welcome . Lord Salisbury , the Prime Minister , then had to explain to a surprised Queen Victoria that ' We have no army capable of meeting even a second - class Continental Power ' . When war with the Boer Republics was imminent in September 1899 , a Field Force , referred to as the Army Corps ( sometimes 1st Army Corps ) was mobilised and sent to Cape Town . It was `` about the equivalent of the I Army Corps of the existing mobilization scheme '' and was placed under the command of Gen Sir Redvers Buller , GOC in C of Aldershot Command . In South Africa the corps never operated as such and the 1st , 2nd and 3rd divisions were widely dispersed . First phase : the Boer offensive ( October -- December 1899 ) ( edit ) Boer organisation and skills ( edit ) War was declared on 11 October 1899 with a Boer offensive into the British - held Natal and Cape Colony areas . The Boers had about 33,000 soldiers , and decisively outnumbered the British , who could move only 13,000 troops to the front line . The Boers had no problems with mobilisation , since the fiercely independent Boers had no regular army units , apart from the Staatsartillerie ( Afrikaans for ' States Artillery ' ) of both republics . As with the First Boer War , since most of the Boers were members of civilian militias , none had adopted uniforms or insignia . Only the members of the Staatsartillerie wore light green uniforms . Boers in a trench at Mafeking , 1899 When danger loomed , all the burgers ( citizens ) in a district would form a military unit called a commando and would elect officers . A full - time official titled a Veldkornet maintained muster rolls , but had no disciplinary powers . Each man brought his own weapon , usually a hunting rifle , and his own horse . Those who could not afford a gun were given one by the authorities . The Presidents of the Transvaal and Orange Free State simply signed decrees to concentrate within a week and the Commandos could muster between 30,000 -- 40,000 men . The average Boer nevertheless was not thirsty for war . Many did not look forward to fighting against fellow Christians and , by and large , fellow Christian Protestants . Many may have had an overly optimistic sense of what the war would involve , imagining that victory could be won as easily as in the First South African War . Many , including many generals , also had a sense that their cause was holy and just , and blessed by God . It rapidly became clear that the Boer forces presented the British forces with a severe tactical challenge . What the Boers presented was a mobile and innovative approach to warfare , drawing on their experiences from the First Boer War . The average Boers who made up their Commandos were farmers who had spent almost all their working life in the saddle , both as farmers and hunters . They depended on the pot , horse and rifle ; they were also skilled stalkers and marksmen . As hunters they had learned to fire from cover ; from a prone position and to make the first shot count , knowing that if they missed , the game would either be long gone or could charge and potentially kill them . At community gatherings , target shooting was a major sport ; they practised shooting at targets such as hens ' eggs perched on posts 100 metres ( 110 yd ) away . They made expert mounted infantry , using every scrap of cover , from which they could pour in a destructive fire using modern , smokeless , Mauser rifles . In preparation for hostilities , the Boers had acquired around one hundred of the latest Krupp field guns , all horse - drawn and dispersed among the various Kommando groups and several Le Creusot `` Long Tom '' siege guns . The Boers ' skill in adapting themselves to become first - rate artillerymen shows them to have been a versatile adversary . The Transvaal also had an intelligence service that stretched across South Africa and of whose extent and efficiency the British were as yet unaware . Boers besiege Ladysmith , Mafeking and Kimberley ( edit ) The Boers struck first on 12 October at the Battle of Kraaipan , an attack that heralded the invasion of the Cape Colony and Colony of Natal between October 1899 and January 1900 . With speed and surprise , the Boer drove quickly towards the British garrison at Ladysmith and the smaller ones at Mafeking and Kimberley . The quick Boer mobilisation resulted in early military successes against scattered British forces . Sir George Stuart White , commanding the British division at Ladysmith , had unwisely allowed Major - General Penn Symons to throw a brigade forward to the coal - mining town of Dundee ( also reported as Glencoe ) , which was surrounded by hills . This became the site of the first engagement of the war , the Battle of Talana Hill . Boer guns began shelling the British camp from the summit of Talana Hill at dawn on 20 October . Penn Symons immediately counter-attacked : his infantry drove the Boers from the hill , for the loss of 446 British casualties , including Penn Symons . Another Boer force occupied Elandslaagte , which lay between Ladysmith and Dundee . The British under Major General John French and Colonel Ian Hamilton attacked to clear the line of communications to Dundee . The resulting Battle of Elandslaagte was a clear - cut British tactical victory , but Sir George White feared that more Boers were about to attack his main position and so ordered a chaotic retreat from Elandslaagte , throwing away any advantage gained . The detachment from Dundee was compelled to make an exhausting cross-country retreat to rejoin White 's main force . As Boers surrounded Ladysmith and opened fire on the town with siege guns , White ordered a major sortie against their artillery positions . The result was a disaster , with 140 men killed and over 1,000 captured . The Siege of Ladysmith began , and was to last several months . Meanwhile , to the north - west at Mafeking , on the border with Transvaal , Colonel Robert Baden - Powell had raised two regiments of local forces amounting to about 1,200 men in order to attack and create diversions if things further south went amiss . Mafeking , being a railway junction , provided good supply facilities and was the obvious place for Baden - Powell to fortify in readiness for such attacks . However , instead of being the aggressor Baden - Powell and Mafeking were forced to defend when 6,000 Boer , commanded by Piet Cronjé , attempted a determined assault on the town . But this quickly subsided into a desultory affair with the Boers prepared to starve the stronghold into submission , and so , on 13 October , began the 217 - day Siege of Mafeking . Lastly , over 360 kilometres ( 220 mi ) to the south of Mafeking lay the diamond mining city of Kimberley , which was also subjected to a siege . Although not militarily significant , it nonetheless represented an enclave of British imperialism on the borders of the Orange Free State and was hence an important Boer objective . From early November about 7,500 Boer began their siege , again content to starve the town into submission . Despite Boer shelling , the 40,000 inhabitants , of which only 5,000 were armed , were under little threat as the town was well - stocked with provisions . The garrison was commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Robert Kekewich , although Cecil Rhodes was also a prominent figure in the town 's defences . Siege life took its toll on both the defending soldiers and the civilians in the cities of Mafeking , Ladysmith , and Kimberley as food began to grow scarce after a few weeks . In Mafeking , Sol Plaatje wrote , `` I saw horseflesh for the first time being treated as a human foodstuff . '' The cities under siege also dealt with constant artillery bombardment , making the streets a dangerous place . Near the end of the siege of Kimberley , it was expected that the Boers would intensify their bombardment , so Rhodes displayed a notice encouraging people to go down into shafts of the Kimberley Mine for protection . The townspeople panicked , and people surged into the mine - shafts constantly for a 12 - hour period . Although the bombardment never came , this did nothing to diminish the anxious civilians distress . The most well - heeled of the townspeople , such as Cecil Rhodes , sheltered in the Sanatorium , site of the present - day McGregor Museum ; the poorer residents , notably the black population , did not have any shelter from the shelling . In retrospect , the Boer decision to commit themselves to sieges ( Sitzkrieg ) was a mistake and one of the best illustrations of the Boers ' lack of strategic vision . Historically , it had little in its favour . Of the seven sieges in the First Boer War , the Boers had won none . More importantly , it handed the initiative back to the British and allowed them time to recover , which they then did . Generally speaking , throughout the campaign , the Boers were too defensive and passive , wasting the opportunities they had for victory . Yet that passiveness also testified to the fact that they had no desire to conquer British territory , but only to preserve their ability to rule in their own territory . First British Relief attempts ( edit ) General Redvers Henry Buller launched an offensive against the Boers in the early phases of the war but after several defeats , culminating at the Battle of Colenso , he was replaced by Earl Roberts It was at this point that General Sir Redvers Henry Buller , a much respected commander , arrived in South Africa with British reinforcements ( including an army corps of three infantry divisions and one cavalry division ) . Buller originally intended an offensive straight up the railway line leading from Cape Town through Bloemfontein to Pretoria . Finding on arrival that the British troops already in South Africa were under siege , he split his army corps into detachments to relieve the besieged garrisons . One division , led by Lieutenant General Lord Methuen , was to follow the Western Railway to the north and relieve Kimberley and Mafeking . A smaller force of about 3,000 led by Major General William Gatacre , was to push north toward the railway junction at Stormberg , to secure the Cape Midlands district from Boer raids and local rebellions by Boer inhabitants and Buller led the major part of the army corps to relieve Ladysmith to the east . The initial results of this offensive were mixed , with Methuen winning several bloody skirmishes in the Battle of Belmont on 23 November , the Battle of Graspan on 25 November , and at a larger engagement , the Battle of Modder River on 28 November resulting in British losses of 71 dead and over 400 wounded . British commanders had trained on the lessons of the Crimean War and were adept at battalion and regimental set pieces with columns manoeuvring in jungles , deserts and mountainous regions . What British generals failed to comprehend was the impact of destructive fire from trench positions and the mobility of cavalry raids . The British troops went to war with what would prove to be antiquated tactics and in some cases antiquated weapons against the mobile Boer forces with the destructive fire of their modern Mausers , the latest Krupp field guns and their novel tactics . The middle of December was disastrous for the British Army . In a period known as Black Week ( 10 -- 15 December 1899 ) , the British suffered defeats on each of the three fronts . On 10 December , General Gatacre tried to recapture Stormberg railway junction about 80 kilometres ( 50 mi ) south of the Orange River . Gatacre 's attack was marked by administrative and tactical blunders and the Battle of Stormberg ended in a British defeat , with 135 killed and wounded and two guns and over 600 troops captured . At the Battle of Magersfontein on 11 December , Methuen 's 14,000 British troops attempted to capture a Boer position in a dawn attack to relieve Kimberley . This too turned into a disaster when the Highland Brigade became pinned down by accurate Boer fire . After suffering from intense heat and thirst for nine hours , they eventually broke in ill - disciplined retreat . The Boer commanders , Koos de la Rey and Piet Cronjé , had ordered trenches to be dug in an unconventional place to fool the British and to give their riflemen a greater firing range . The plan worked and this tactic helped write the doctrine of the supremacy of the defensive position , using modern small arms and trench fortifications . The British lost 120 killed and 690 wounded and were prevented from relieving Kimberley and Mafeking . A British soldier said of the defeat Such was the day for our regiment Dread the revenge we will take . Dearly we paid for the blunder -- A drawing - room General 's mistake . Why were n't we told of the trenches ? Why were n't we told of the wire ? Why were we marched up in column , May Tommy Atkins enquire ... -- Private Smith The nadir of Black Week was the Battle of Colenso on 15 December , where 21,000 British troops commanded by Buller attempted to cross the Tugela River to relieve Ladysmith , where 8,000 Transvaal Boers under the command of Louis Botha , were awaiting them . Through a combination of artillery and accurate rifle fire and a better use of the ground , the Boers repelled all British attempts to cross the river . After his first attacks failed , Buller broke off the battle and ordered a retreat , abandoning many wounded men , several isolated units and ten field guns to be captured by Botha 's men . Buller 's forces lost 145 men killed and 1,200 missing or wounded and the Boers suffered only 40 casualties , including 8 killed . Second phase : the British offensive of January to September 1900 ( edit ) British casualties lie dead on the battlefield after the Battle of Spion Kop , 24 January 1900 The British government took these defeats badly and with the sieges still continuing was compelled to send two more divisions plus large numbers of colonial volunteers . By January 1900 this would become the largest force Britain had ever sent overseas , amounting to some 180,000 men with further reinforcements being sought . While watching for these reinforcements , Buller made another bid to relieve Ladysmith by crossing the Tugela west of Colenso . Buller 's subordinate , Major General Charles Warren , successfully crossed the river , but was then faced with a fresh defensive position centred on a prominent hill known as Spion Kop . In the resulting Battle of Spion Kop , British troops captured the summit by surprise during the early hours of 24 January 1900 , but as the early morning fog lifted they realised too late that they were overlooked by Boer gun emplacements on the surrounding hills . The rest of the day resulted in a disaster caused by poor communication between Buller and his commanders . Between them they issued contradictory orders , on the one hand ordering men off the hill , while other officers ordered fresh reinforcements to defend it . The result was 350 men killed and nearly 1,000 wounded and a retreat across the Tugela River into British territory . There were nearly 300 Boer casualties . Buller attacked Louis Botha again on 5 February at Vaal Krantz and was again defeated . Buller withdrew early when it appeared that the British would be isolated in an exposed bridgehead across the Tugela , for which he was nicknamed `` Sir Reverse '' by some of his officers . Boer General Piet De Wet , 1900 By taking command in person in Natal , Buller had allowed the overall direction of the war to drift . Because of concerns about his performance and negative reports from the field , he was replaced as Commander in Chief by Field Marshal Lord Roberts . Roberts quickly assembled an entirely new team for headquarters staff and he chose military men from far and wide : Lord Kitchener ( Chief of Staff ) from the Sudan ; Frederick Russell Burnham ( Chief of Scouts ) , the American scout , from the Klondike ; David Henderson from the Staff College ; Neville Bowles Chamberlain from Afghanistan ; and William Nicholson ( Military Secretary ) from Calcutta Like Buller , Roberts first intended to attack directly along the Cape Town -- Pretoria railway but , again like Buller , was forced to relieve the beleaguered garrisons . Leaving Buller in command in Natal , Roberts massed his main force near the Orange River and along the Western Railway behind Methuen 's force at the Modder River , and prepared to make a wide outflanking move to relieve Kimberley . Siege of Ladysmith Except in Natal , the war had stagnated . Other than a single attempt to storm Ladysmith , the Boers made no attempt to capture the besieged towns . In the Cape Midlands , the Boers did not exploit the British defeat at Stormberg , and were prevented from capturing the railway junction at Colesberg . In the dry summer , the grazing on the veld became parched , weakening the Boers ' horses and draught oxen , and many Boer families joined their menfolk in the siege lines and laagers ( encampments ) , fatally encumbering Cronjé 's army . Roberts launched his main attack on 10 February 1900 and although hampered by a long supply route , managed to outflank the Boers defending Magersfontein . On 14 February , a cavalry division under Major General John French launched a major attack to relieve Kimberley . Although encountering severe fire , a massed cavalry charge split the Boer defences on 15 February , opening the way for French to enter Kimberley that evening , ending its 124 days ' siege . Meanwhile , Roberts pursued Piet Cronjé 's 7,000 - strong force , which had abandoned Magersfontein to head for Bloemfontein . General French 's cavalry was ordered to assist in the pursuit by embarking on an epic 50 km ( 31 mi ) drive towards Paardeberg where Cronjé was attempting to cross the Modder River . At the Battle of Paardeberg from 18 to 27 February , Roberts then surrounded General Piet Cronjé 's retreating Boer army . On 17 February , a pincer movement involving both French 's cavalry and the main British force attempted to take the entrenched position , but the frontal attacks were uncoordinated and so were easily repulsed by the Boers . Finally , Roberts resorted to bombarding Cronjé into submission , but it took a further ten precious days , and with the British troops using the polluted Modder River as water supply , there was a typhoid epidemic killing many troops . General Cronjé was forced to surrender at Surrender Hill with 4,000 men . The Relief of Ladysmith . Sir George Stuart White greets Major Hubert Gough on 28 February . Painting by John Henry Frederick Bacon ( 1868 -- 1914 ) In Natal , the Battle of the Tugela Heights , which started on 14 February was Buller 's fourth attempt to relieve Ladysmith . The losses Buller 's troops had sustained convinced Buller to adopt Boer tactics `` in the firing line -- to advance in small rushes , covered by rifle fire from behind ; to use the tactical support of artillery ; and above all , to use the ground , making rock and earth work for them as it did for the enemy . '' Despite reinforcements his progress was painfully slow against stiff opposition . However , on 26 February , after much deliberation , Buller used all his forces in one all - out attack for the first time and at last succeeded in forcing a crossing of the Tugela to defeat Botha 's outnumbered forces north of Colenso . After a siege lasting 118 days , the Relief of Ladysmith was effected , the day after Cronjé surrendered , but at a total cost of 7,000 British casualties . Buller 's troops marched into Ladysmith on 28 February . After a succession of defeats , the Boers realised that against such overwhelming numbers of troops , they had little chance of defeating the British and so became demoralised . Roberts then advanced into the Orange Free State from the west , putting the Boers to flight at the Battle of Poplar Grove and capturing Bloemfontein , the capital , unopposed on 13 March with the Boer defenders escaping and scattering . Meanwhile , he detached a small force to relieve Baden - Powell . The Relief of Mafeking on 18 May 1900 provoked riotous celebrations in Britain , the origin of the Edwardian slang word `` mafficking '' . On 28 May , the Orange Free State was annexed and renamed the Orange River Colony . After being forced to delay for several weeks at Bloemfontein by a shortage of supplies , an outbreak of enteric ( typhoid ) fever caused by poor hygiene , drinking bad drinking water at Paardeburg , and appalling medical care , Roberts finally resumed his advance . He was forced to halt again at Kroonstad for 10 days , due once again to the collapse of his medical and supply systems , but finally captured Johannesburg on 31 May and the capital of the Transvaal , Pretoria , on 5 June . The first into Pretoria was Lt. William Watson of the New South Wales Mounted Rifles , who persuaded the Boers to surrender the capital . Before the war , the Boers had constructed several forts south of Pretoria , but the artillery had been removed from the forts for use in the field , and in the event they abandoned Pretoria without a fight . Having won the principal cities , Roberts declared the war over on 3 September 1900 ; and the South African Republic was formally annexed . British observers believed the war to be all but over after the capture of the two capital cities . However , the Boers had earlier met at the temporary new capital of the Orange Free State , Kroonstad , and planned a guerrilla campaign to hit the British supply and communication lines . The first engagement of this new form of warfare was at Sanna 's Post on 31 March where 1,500 Boers under the command of Christiaan De Wet attacked Bloemfontein 's waterworks about 37 kilometres ( 23 mi ) east of the city , and ambushed a heavily escorted convoy , which caused 155 British casualties and the capture of seven guns , 117 wagons , and 428 British troops . General Piet Cronjé as a prisoner of war in Saint Helena , 1900 -- 02 . He was captured , with 4,000 men , after the loss of the Battle of Paardeberg . After the fall of Pretoria , one of the last formal battles was at Diamond Hill on 11 -- 12 June , where Roberts attempted to drive the remnants of the Boer field army under Botha beyond striking distance of Pretoria . Although Roberts drove the Boers from the hill , Botha did not regard it as a defeat , for he inflicted 162 casualties on the British while suffering only around 50 casualties . The set - piece period of the war now largely gave way to a mobile guerrilla war , but one final operation remained . President Kruger and what remained of the Transvaal government had retreated to eastern Transvaal . Roberts , joined by troops from Natal under Buller , advanced against them , and broke their last defensive position at Bergendal on 26 August . As Roberts and Buller followed up along the railway line to Komatipoort , Kruger sought asylum in Portuguese East Africa ( modern Mozambique ) . Some dispirited Boers did likewise , and the British gathered up much war material . However , the core of the Boer fighters under Botha easily broke back through the Drakensberg Mountains into the Transvaal highveld after riding north through the bushveld . Under the new conditions of the war , heavy equipment was no use to them , and therefore no great loss . As Roberts 's army occupied Pretoria , the Boer fighters in the Orange Free State retreated into the Brandwater Basin , a fertile area in the north - east of the Republic . This offered only temporary sanctuary , as the mountain passes leading to it could be occupied by the British , trapping the Boers . A force under General Archibald Hunter set out from Bloemfontein to achieve this in July 1900 . The hard core of the Free State Boers under De Wet , accompanied by President Steyn , left the basin early . Those remaining fell into confusion and most failed to break out before Hunter trapped them . 4,500 Boers surrendered and much equipment was captured but as with Roberts 's drive against Kruger at the same time , these losses were of relatively little consequence , as the hard core of the Boer armies and their most determined and active leaders remained at large . From the Basin , Christiaan De Wet headed west . Although hounded by British columns , he succeeded in crossing the Vaal into western Transvaal , to allow Steyn to travel to meet their leaders . There was much sympathy for the Boers on mainland Europe . In October , President Kruger and members of the Transvaal government left Portuguese East Africa on the Dutch warship De Gelderland , sent by the Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands . Paul Kruger 's wife , however , was too ill to travel and remained in South Africa where she died on 20 July 1901 without seeing her husband again . President Kruger first went to Marseille and then on to the Netherlands , where he stayed for a while before moving finally to Clarens , Switzerland , where he died in exile on 14 July 1904 . POWs sent overseas ( edit ) The first sizeable batch of Boer prisoners of war taken by the British consisted of those captured at the Battle of Elandslaagte on 21 October 1899 . At first , many were put on ships , but as numbers grew , the British decided they did not want them kept locally . The capture of 400 POWs in February 1900 was a key event , which made the British realise they could not accommodate all POWs in South Africa . The British feared they could be freed by sympathetic locals . Moreover , they already had trouble supplying their own troops in South Africa , and did not want the added burden of sending supplies for the POWs . Britain therefore chose to send many POWs overseas . A Transit camp for Prisoners of War near Cape Town during the war . Prisoners were then transferred for internment in other parts of the British Empire . The first overseas ( off African mainland ) camps were opened in Saint Helena , which ultimately received about 5,000 POWs . About 5,000 POWs were sent to Ceylon . Other POWs were sent to Bermuda and India . There are no records of Boer POWs being sent to the Dominions of the British Empire such as Australia , Canada , or New Zealand . In all , about 26,000 POWs were sent overseas . Oath of neutrality ( edit ) On 15 March 1900 , Lord Roberts proclaimed an amnesty for all burghers , except leaders , who took an oath of neutrality and returned quietly to their homes . It is estimated that between 12,000 and 14,000 burghers took this oath between March and June 1900 . Third phase : guerrilla War ( September 1900 -- May 1902 ) ( edit ) Kitchener succeeded Roberts in November 1900 and launched anti-guerrilla campaigns ; 1898 photograph in 1910 magazine By September 1900 , the British were nominally in control of both Republics , with the exception of the northern part of Transvaal . However , they soon discovered that they only controlled the territory their columns physically occupied . Despite the loss of their two capital cities and half of their army , the Boer commanders adopted guerrilla warfare tactics , primarily conducting raids against railways , resource and supply targets , all aimed at disrupting the operational capacity of the British Army . They avoided pitched battles and casualties were light . Each Boer commando unit was sent to the district from which its members had been recruited , which meant that they could rely on local support and personal knowledge of the terrain and the towns within the district thereby enabling them to live off the land . Their orders were simply to act against the British whenever possible . Their tactics were to strike fast and hard causing as much damage to the enemy as possible , and then to withdraw and vanish before enemy reinforcements could arrive . The vast distances of the Republics allowed the Boer commandos considerable freedom to move about and made it nearly impossible for the 250,000 British troops to control the territory effectively using columns alone . As soon as a British column left a town or district , British control of that area faded away . A surviving blockhouse in South Africa . Blockhouses were constructed by the British to secure supply routes from Boer raids during the war . The Boer commandos were especially effective during the initial guerrilla phase of the war because Roberts had assumed that the war would end with the capture of the Boer capitals and the dispersal of the main Boer armies . Many British troops were therefore redeployed out of the area , and had been replaced by lower - quality contingents of Imperial Yeomanry and locally raised irregular corps . From late May 1900 , the first successes of the Boer guerrilla strategy were at Lindley ( where 500 Yeomanry surrendered ) , and at Heilbron ( where a large convoy and its escort were captured ) and other skirmishes resulting in 1,500 British casualties in less than ten days . In December 1900 , De la Rey and Christiaan Beyers attacked and mauled a British brigade at Nooitgedacht . As a result of these and other Boer successes , the British , led by Lord Kitchener , mounted three extensive searches for De Wet , but without success . However , the very nature of the Boer guerrilla war was sporadic , poorly planned , and had little overall long - term objective , with the exception to simply harass the British . This led to a disorganised pattern of scattered engagements throughout the region . British response ( edit ) The British were forced to quickly revise their tactics . They concentrated on restricting the freedom of movement of the Boer commandos and depriving them of local support . The railway lines had provided vital lines of communication and supply , and as the British had advanced across South Africa , they had used armoured trains and had established fortified blockhouses at key points . They now built additional blockhouses ( each housing 6 -- 8 soldiers ) and fortified these to protect supply routes against Boer raiders . Eventually some 8,000 such blockhouses were built across the two South African republics , radiating from the larger towns along principal routes . Each blockhouse cost between £ 800 to £ 1,000 and took about three months to build . However , they proved very effective . Not one bridge where one of these blockhouses was sited and manned was blown . The blockhouse system required an enormous number of troops to garrison . Well over 50,000 British troops , or 50 battalions , were involved in blockhouse duty , greater than the approximately 30,000 Boers in the field during the guerrilla phase . In addition , up to 16,000 Africans were used both as armed guards and to patrol the line at night . The Army linked the blockhouses with barbed wire fences to parcel up the wide veld into smaller areas . `` New Model '' drives were mounted under which a continuous line of troops could sweep an area of veld bounded by blockhouse lines , unlike the earlier inefficient scouring of the countryside by scattered columns . One British response to the guerrilla war was a ' scorched earth ' policy to deny the guerrillas supplies and refuge . In this image Boer civilians watch their house as it is burned . The British also implemented a `` scorched earth '' policy under which they targeted everything within the controlled areas that could give sustenance to the Boer guerrillas with a view to making it harder for the Boers to survive . As British troops swept the countryside , they systematically destroyed crops , burned homesteads and farms , poisoned wells , and interned Boer and African women , children and workers in concentration camps . Finally , the British also established their own mounted raiding columns in support of the sweeper columns . These were used to rapidly follow and relentlessly harass the Boers with a view to delaying them and cutting off escape , while the sweeper units caught up . Many of the 90 or so mobile columns formed by the British to participate in such drives were a mixture of British and colonial troops , but they also had a large minority of armed Africans . The total number of armed Africans serving with these columns has been estimated at approximately 20,000 . The British Army also made use of Boer auxiliaries who had been persuaded to change sides and enlist as `` National Scouts '' . Serving under the command of General Andries Cronjé , the National Scouts were despised as hensoppers ( collaborators ) but came to number a fifth of the fighting Afrikaners by the end of the War . The British utilised armoured trains throughout the War to deliver rapid reaction forces much more quickly to incidents ( such as Boer attacks on blockhouses and columns ) or to drop them off ahead of retreating Boer columns . Peace committees ( edit ) Among those Burghers who had stopped fighting , it was decided to form peace committees to persuade those who were still fighting to desist . In December 1900 Lord Kitchener gave permission that a central Burgher Peace Committee be inaugurated in Pretoria . By the end of 1900 some thirty envoys were sent out to the various districts to form local peace committees to persuade burghers to give up the fight . Previous leaders of the Boers , like Generals Piet de Wet and Andries Cronjé were involved in the organisation . Meyer de Kock was the only emissary of a peace committee to be convicted of high treason and executed by firing squad . Joiners ( edit ) Some burghers joined the British in their fight against the Boers . By the end of hostilities in May 1902 , there were no fewer than 5,464 burghers working for the British . Orange Free State ( edit ) Christiaan De Wet was the most formidable leader of the Boer guerrillas . He successfully evaded capture on numerous occasions and was later involved in the negotiations for a peace settlement . After having conferred with the Transvaal leaders , De Wet returned to the Orange Free State , where he inspired a series of successful attacks and raids from the hitherto quiet western part of the country , though he suffered a rare defeat at Bothaville in November 1900 . Many Boers who had earlier returned to their farms , sometimes giving formal parole to the British , took up arms again . In late January 1901 , De Wet led a renewed invasion of Cape Colony . This was less successful , because there was no general uprising among the Cape Boers , and De Wet 's men were hampered by bad weather and relentlessly pursued by British forces . They narrowly escaped across the Orange River . From then until the final days of the war , De Wet remained comparatively quiet , partly because the Orange Free State was effectively left desolate by British sweeps . In late 1901 , De Wet overran an isolated British detachment at Groenkop , inflicting heavy casualties . This prompted Kitchener to launch the first of the `` New Model '' drives against him . De Wet escaped the first such drive , but lost 300 of his fighters . This was a severe loss , and a portent of further attrition , although the subsequent attempts to round up De Wet were badly handled , and De Wet 's forces avoided capture . Western Transvaal ( edit ) The Boer commandos in the Western Transvaal were very active after September 1901 . Several battles of importance were fought here between September 1901 and March 1902 . At Moedwil on 30 September 1901 and again at Driefontein on 24 October , General Koos De La Rey 's forces attacked the British , but were forced to withdraw after the British offered strong resistance . A time of relative quiet descended thereafter on the western Transvaal . February 1902 saw the next major battle in that region . On 25 February , Koos De La Rey attacked a British column under Lieutenant - Colonel S.B. von Donop at Ysterspruit near Wolmaransstad . De La Rey succeeded in capturing many men and a large amount of ammunition . The Boer attacks prompted Lord Methuen , the British second - in - command after Lord Kitchener , to move his column from Vryburg to Klerksdorp to deal with De La Rey . On the morning of 7 March 1902 , the Boers attacked the rear guard of Methuen 's moving column at Tweebosch . Confusion reigned in British ranks and Methuen was wounded and captured by the Boers . The Boer victories in the west led to stronger action by the British . In the second half of March 1902 , large British reinforcements were sent to the Western Transvaal under the direction of Ian Hamilton . The opportunity the British were waiting for arose on 11 April 1902 at Rooiwal , where a commando led by General Jan Kemp and Commandant Potgieter attacked a superior force under Kekewich . The British soldiers were well positioned on the hillside and inflicted severe casualties on the Boers charging on horseback over a large distance , beating them back . This was the end of the war in the Western Transvaal and also the last major battle of the war . Eastern Transvaal ( edit ) Boer commando Two Boer forces fought in this area , one under Botha in the south east and a second under Ben Viljoen in the north east around Lydenburg . Botha 's forces were particularly active , raiding railways and British supply convoys , and even mounting a renewed invasion of Natal in September 1901 . After defeating British mounted infantry in the Battle of Blood River Poort near Dundee , Botha was forced to withdraw by heavy rains that made movement difficult and crippled his horses . Back on the Transvaal territory around his home district of Vryheid , Botha attacked a British raiding column at Bakenlaagte , using an effective mounted charge . One of the most active British units was effectively destroyed in this engagement . This made Botha 's forces the target of increasingly large and ruthless drives by British forces , in which the British made particular use of native scouts and informers . Eventually , Botha had to abandon the high veld and retreat to a narrow enclave bordering Swaziland . To the north , Ben Viljoen grew steadily less active . His forces mounted comparatively few attacks and as a result , the Boer enclave around Lydenburg was largely unmolested . Viljoen was eventually captured . Cape Colony ( edit ) In parts of Cape Colony , particularly the Cape Midlands district where Boers formed a majority of the white inhabitants , the British had always feared a general uprising against them . In fact , no such uprising took place , even in the early days of the war when Boer armies had advanced across the Orange . The cautious conduct of some of the elderly Orange Free State generals had been one factor that discouraged the Cape Boers from siding with the Boer republics . Nevertheless , there was widespread pro-Boer sympathy . Some of the Cape Dutch volunteered to help the British , but a much larger number volunteered to help the other side . The political factor was more important than the military : the Cape Dutch controlled the provincial legislature . Milner said 90 percent favoured the rebels . After he escaped across the Orange in March 1901 , De Wet had left forces under Cape rebels Kritzinger and Scheepers to maintain a guerrilla campaign in the Cape Midlands . The campaign here was one of the least chivalrous of the war , with intimidation by both sides of each other 's civilian sympathizers . In one of many skirmishes , Commandant Lotter 's small commando was tracked down by a much - superior British column and wiped out at Groenkloof . Several captured rebels , including Lotter and Scheepers , who was captured when he fell ill with appendicitis , were executed by the British for treason or for capital crimes such as the murder of prisoners or of unarmed civilians . Some of the executions took place in public , to deter further disaffection . Since the Cape Colony was Imperial territory , its authorities forbade the British Army to burn farms or to force Boers into concentration camps . Fresh Boer forces under Jan Christiaan Smuts , joined by the surviving rebels under Kritzinger , made another attack on the Cape in September 1901 . They suffered severe hardships and were hard pressed by British columns , but eventually rescued themselves by routing some of their pursuers at the Battle of Elands River and capturing their equipment . From then until the end of the war , Smuts increased his forces from among Cape rebels until they numbered 3,000 . However , no general uprising took place , and the situation in the Cape remained stalemated . In January 1902 , Boer leader Manie Maritz was implicated in the Leliefontein massacre in the far Northern Cape . Boer foreign volunteers ( edit ) Main article : Boer foreign volunteers While no other government actively supported the Boer cause , individuals from several countries volunteered and formed Foreign Volunteer Units . These primarily came from Europe , particularly the Netherlands , Germany and Sweden - Norway . Other countries such as France , Italy , Ireland ( then wholly part of the United Kingdom ) , and restive areas of the Russian Empire , including Poland and Georgia , also formed smaller volunteer corps . Finns fought in the Scandinavian Corps . Non-white roles ( edit ) The policy on both sides was to minimise the role of nonwhites but the need for manpower continuously stretched those resolves . At the battle of Spion Kop in Ladysmith , MK Gandhi with 300 freeburger Indians and 800 Indentured Indian labourers started the Ambulance Corps serving the British side . As the war raged across African farms and their homes were destroyed , many became refugees and they , like the Boers , moved to the towns where the British hastily created internment camps . Subsequently , the `` Scorched Earth '' policy was ruthlessly applied to both Boers and Africans . Although most black Africans were not considered by the British to be hostile , many tens of thousands were also forcibly removed from Boer areas and also placed in concentration camps . Africans were held separately from Boer internees . Eventually there were a total of 64 tented camps for Africans . Conditions were as bad as in the camps for the Boers , but even though , after the Fawcett Commission report , conditions improved in the Boer camps , `` improvements were much slower in coming to the black camps . '' 20,000 died there . About 10,000 black men were attached to Boer units where they performed camp duties ; a handful unofficially fought in combat . The British Army employed over 14,000 Africans as wagon drivers . Even more had combatant roles as spies , guides , and eventually as soldiers . By 1902 there were about 30,000 armed Africans in the British Army . Concentration camps ( edit ) Main article : British concentration camps Tents in the Bloemfontein concentration camp The term `` concentration camp '' was used to describe camps operated by the British in South Africa during this conflict in the years 1900 -- 1902 , and the term grew in prominence during this period . The camps had originally been set up by the British Army as `` refugee camps '' to provide refuge for civilian families who had been forced to abandon their homes for whatever reason related to the war . However , when Kitchener took over in late 1900 , he introduced new tactics in an attempt to break the guerrilla campaign and the influx of civilians grew dramatically as a result . Disease and starvation killed thousands . Kitchener initiated plans to flush out guerrillas in a series of systematic drives , organised like a sporting shoot , with success defined in a weekly ' bag ' of killed , captured and wounded , and to sweep the country bare of everything that could give sustenance to the guerrillas , including women and children ... It was the clearance of civilians -- uprooting a whole nation -- that would come to dominate the last phase of the war . Lizzie van Zyl a Boer child , visited by Emily Hobhouse in a British concentration camp As Boer farms were destroyed by the British under their `` Scorched Earth '' policy -- including the systematic destruction of crops and slaughtering of livestock , the burning down of homesteads and farms , and the poisoning of wells and salting of fields -- to prevent the Boers from resupplying from a home base many tens of thousands of women and children were forcibly moved into the concentration camps . This was not the first appearance of internment camps , as the Spanish had used internment in Cuba in the Ten Years ' War , but the Boer War concentration camp system was the first time that a whole nation had been systematically targeted , and the first in which some whole regions had been depopulated . Eventually , there were a total of 45 tented camps built for Boer internees and 64 for black Africans . Of the 28,000 Boer men captured as prisoners of war , 25,630 were sent overseas . The vast majority of Boers remaining in the local camps were women and children . Over 26,000 women and children were to perish in these concentration camps . The camps were poorly administered from the outset and became increasingly overcrowded when Kitchener 's troops implemented the internment strategy on a vast scale . Conditions were terrible for the health of the internees , mainly due to neglect , poor hygiene and bad sanitation . The supply of all items was unreliable , partly because of the constant disruption of communication lines by the Boers . The food rations were meager and there was a two - tier allocation policy , whereby families of men who were still fighting were routinely given smaller rations than others The inadequate shelter , poor diet , bad hygiene and overcrowding led to malnutrition and endemic contagious diseases such as measles , typhoid and dysentery to which the children were particularly vulnerable . Coupled with a shortage of modern medical facilities , many of the internees died . The end of the War ( edit ) The end result of the Boer War was the annexation of the Boer Republics to the British Empire in 1902 Peace conference at Vereeniging C Company returns from Boer War , King Street in Toronto , Ontario , Canada Towards the end of the war , British tactics of containment , denial , and harassment began to yield results against the guerrillas . The sourcing and co-ordination of intelligence became increasingly efficient with regular reporting from observers in the blockhouses , from units patrolling the fences and conducting `` sweeper '' operations , and from native Africans in rural areas who increasingly supplied intelligence , as the Scorched Earth policy took effect and they found themselves competing with the Boers for food supplies . Kitchener 's forces at last began to seriously affect the Boers ' fighting strength and freedom of manoeuvre , and made it harder for the Boers and their families to survive . Despite this success , almost half the Boer fighting strength , 15,000 men were still in the field fighting . Kitchener 's tactics were very costly : Britain was running out of time and money and needed to change tack . The Boers and the British both feared the consequences of arming Africans . The memories of the Zulu and other tribal conflicts were still fresh , and they recognised that whoever won would have to deal with the consequences of a mass militarisation of the tribes . There was therefore an unwritten agreement that this war would be a `` white man 's war . '' At the outset , British officials instructed all white magistrates in the Natal Colony to appeal to Zulu amakhosi ( chiefs ) to remain neutral , and President Kruger sent emissaries asking them to stay out of it . However , in some cases there were old scores to be settled , and some Africans , such as the Swazis , were eager to enter the war with the specific aim of reclaiming land confiscated by the Boers . As the war went on there was greater involvement of Africans , and in particular large numbers became embroiled in the conflict on the British side , either voluntarily or involuntarily . By the end of the war , many blacks had been armed and had shown conspicuous gallantry in roles such as scouts , messengers , watchmen in blockhouses , and auxiliaries . And there were more flash - points outside of the war . On 6 May 1902 at Holkrantz in the southeastern Transvaal , a Zulu faction had their cattle stolen and their people mistreated by the Boers as a punishment for helping the British . The local Boer officer then sent an insulting message to the tribe , challenging them to take back their cattle . The Zulus attacked at night , and in a mutual bloodbath , the Boers lost 56 killed and 3 wounded , while the Africans suffered 52 killed and 48 wounded . The British offered terms of peace on various occasions , notably in March 1901 , but were rejected by Botha and the `` Bitter - enders '' among the commandos . They pledged to fight until the bitter end and rejected the demand for compromise made by the `` Hands - uppers . '' Their reasons included hatred of the British , loyalty to their dead comrades , solidarity with fellow commandos , an intense desire for independence , religious arguments , and fear of captivity or punishment . On the other hand , their women and children were dying every day and independence seemed impossible . The last of the Boers surrendered in May 1902 and the war ended with the Treaty of Vereeniging signed on 31 May 1902 . The British had won and offered generous terms to regain the support of the Boers. The Boers were given £ 3,000,000 for reconstruction and were promised eventual limited self - government , which was granted in 1906 and 1907 . The treaty ended the existence of the South African Republic and the Orange Free State as independent Boer republics and placed them within the British Empire . The Union of South Africa was established as a dominion of the British Empire in 1910 . Cost of the War ( edit ) It is estimated that the total cost of the war to the British government was £ 211,156,000 ( equivalent to £ 202,000,000,000 in 2014 ) .

The predominantly agrarian society of the former Boer republics was profoundly and fundamentally affected by the scorched earth policy of Roberts and Kitchener . The devastation of both Boer and black African populations in the concentration camps and through war and exile were to have a lasting effect on the demography and quality of life in the region . Many exiles and prisoners were unable to return to their farms at all ; others attempted to do so but were forced to abandon the farms as unworkable given the damage caused by farm burning and salting of the fields in the course of the scorched earth policy . Destitute Boers and black Africans swelled the ranks of the unskilled urban poor competing with the `` uitlanders '' in the mines . The postwar reconstruction administration was presided over by Lord Milner and his largely Oxford trained Milner 's Kindergarten . This small group of civil servants had a profound effect on the region , eventually leading to the Union of South Africa . In the aftermath of the war , an imperial administration freed from accountability to a domestic electorate set about reconstructing an economy that was by then predicated unambiguously on gold . At the same time , British civil servants , municipal officials , and their cultural adjuncts were hard at work in the heartland of the former Boer Republics helping to forge new identities -- first as ' British South Africans ' and then , later still , as ' white South Africans ' . '' Some scholars , for good reasons , identify these new identities as partly underpinning the act of union that followed in 1910 . Although challenged by a Boer rebellion only four years later , they did much to shape South African politics between the two world wars and right up to the present day `` . Alfred , Lord Milner was the British High Commissioner of Southern Africa . He was involved from the start of the war and had a role in the peace process and the creation of the Union of South Africa . The counterinsurgency techniques and lessons ( the restriction of movement , the containment of space , the ruthless targeting of anything , everything and anyone that could give sustenance to guerrillas , the relentless harassment through sweeper groups coupled with rapid reaction forces , the sourcing and co-ordination of intelligence , and the nurturing of native allies ) learned during the Boer War were used by the British ( and other forces ) in future guerrilla campaigns including to counter Malayan communist rebels during the Malayan Emergency . In World War II the British also adopted some of the concepts of raiding from the Boer commandos when , after the fall of France , they set up their special raiding forces , and in acknowledgement of their erstwhile enemies , chose the name British Commandos . Many of the Boers referred to the war as the second of the Freedom Wars . The most resistant of Boers wanted to continue the fight and were known as `` Bittereinders '' ( or irreconcilables ) and at the end of the war a number of Boer fighters such as Deneys Reitz chose exile rather than sign an oath , such as the following , to pledge allegiance to Britain : The bearer , < prisoner name > has been released from prison of war camp < Camp name > on signing that he acknowledge terms of surrender and becomes a British subject . Over the following decade , many returned to South Africa and never signed the pledge . Some , like Reitz , eventually reconciled themselves to the new status quo , but others could not . Union of South Africa ( edit ) Main article : Union of South Africa One of the most important events in the decade after the end of the war was the creation of the Union of South Africa ( later the Republic of South Africa ) . It proved a key ally to Britain as a Dominion of the British Empire during the World Wars . At the start of the First World War a crisis ensued when the South African government led by Louis Botha and other former Boer fighters , such as Jan Smuts , declared support for Britain and agreed to send troops to take over the German colony of German South - West Africa ( Namibia ) . Many Boers were opposed to fighting for Britain , especially against Germany , which had been sympathetic to their struggle . A number of bittereinders and their allies took part in a revolt known as the Maritz Rebellion . This was quickly suppressed and in 1916 , the leading Boer rebels in the Maritz Rebellion got off lightly ( especially compared with the fate of leading Irish rebels of the Easter Rising ) , with terms of imprisonment of six and seven years and heavy fines . Two years later , they were released from prison , as Louis Botha recognised the value of reconciliation . Thereafter the bittereinders concentrated on political organisation within the constitutional system and built up what later became the National Party , which took power in 1948 and dominated the politics of South Africa from the late 1940s until the early 1990s , under the apartheid system . Effect of the War on domestic British politics ( edit ) Further information : Opposition to the Second Boer War Memorial window from St Patrick 's Cathedral , Dublin by An Túr Gloine . Much of the Irish public sympathised with the Boer side , rather than the British side on which fought the Royal Irish Regiment . Many Irish nationalists sympathised with the Boers , viewing them to be a people oppressed by British imperialism , much like themselves . Irish miners already in the Transvaal at the start of the war formed the nucleus of two Irish commandos . The Second Irish Brigade was headed up by an Australian of Irish parents , Colonel Arthur Lynch . In addition , small groups of Irish volunteers went to South Africa to fight with the Boers -- this despite the fact that there were many Irish troops fighting in the British army , including the Royal Dublin Fusiliers . In Britain , the `` Pro-Boer '' campaign expanded , with writers often idealising the Boer society . The war also highlighted the dangers of Britain 's policy of non-alignment and deepened her isolation . The 1900 UK general election , also known as the `` Khaki election '' , was called by the Prime Minister , Lord Salisbury , on the back of recent British victories . There was much enthusiasm for the war at this point , resulting in a victory for the Conservative government . However public support quickly waned as it became apparent that the war would not be easy and it dragged on , partially contributing to the Conservatives ' spectacular defeat in 1906 . There was public outrage at the use of scorched earth tactics -- the forced clearance of women and children , the destruction of the countryside , burning of Boer homesteads and poisoning of wells , for example -- and the conditions in the concentration camps . It also became apparent that there were serious problems with public health in Britain : up to 40 % of recruits in Britain were unfit for military service , suffering from medical problems such as rickets and other poverty - related illnesses . This came at a time of increasing concern for the state of the poor in Britain . Having taken the country into a prolonged war , the Conservative government was rejected by the electorate at the first general election after the war was over . Balfour , succeeding his uncle Lord Salisbury in 1903 immediately after the war , took over a Conservative party that had won two successive landslide majorities but led it to a landslide defeat in 1906 . Horses ( edit ) A horse destined to serve in the war , being off - loaded in Port Elizabeth The number of horses killed in the war was at the time unprecedented in modern warfare . For example , in the Relief of Kimberley , French 's cavalry rode 500 horses to their deaths in a single day . The wastage was particularly heavy among British forces for several reasons : overloading of horses with unnecessary equipment and saddlery , failure to rest and acclimatise horses after long sea voyages and , later in the war , poor management by inexperienced mounted troops and distant control by unsympathetic staffs . The average life expectancy of a British horse , from the time of its arrival in Port Elizabeth , was around six weeks . Horses were slaughtered for their meat when needed . During the Siege of Kimberley and Siege of Ladysmith , horses were consumed as food once the regular sources of meat were depleted . The besieged British forces in Ladysmith also produced chevril , a Bovril - like paste , by boiling down the horse meat to a jelly paste and serving it like beef tea . The Horse Memorial in Port Elizabeth is a tribute to the 300,000 horses that died during the conflict . Imperial involvement ( edit ) See also : History of the British Army § South Africa Stretcher - bearers of the Indian Ambulance Corps during the war , including the future leader Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi ( Middle row , 5th from left ) . The vast majority of troops fighting for the British army came from Great Britain . Yet a significant number came from other parts of the British Empire . These countries had their own internal disputes over whether they should remain tied to London , or have full independence , which carried over into the debate around the sending of forces to assist the war . Though not fully independent on foreign affairs , these countries did have local say over how much support to provide , and the manner it was provided . Ultimately , Australia , Canada , New Zealand and British South African Company administered Rhodesia all sent volunteers to aid the United Kingdom . Canada provided the largest number of troops followed by Australia . Troops were also raised to fight with the British from the Cape Colony and the Colony of Natal . Some Boer fighters , such as Jan Smuts and Louis Botha , were technically British subjects as they came from the Cape Colony and Colony of Natal , respectively . There were also many volunteers from the Empire who were not selected for the official contingents from their countries and travelled privately to South Africa to form private units , such as the Canadian Scouts and Doyle 's Australian Scouts . There were also some European volunteer units from British India and British Ceylon , though the British Government refused offers of non-white troops from the Empire . Some Cape Coloureds also volunteered early in the war , but later some of them were effectively conscripted and kept in segregated units . As a community , they received comparatively little reward for their services . In many ways , the war set the pattern for the Empire 's later involvement in the two World Wars . Specially raised units , consisting mainly of volunteers , were dispatched overseas to serve with forces from elsewhere in the British Empire . The United States stayed neutral in the conflict , but some American citizens were eager to participate . Early in the war Lord Roberts cabled the American Frederick Russell Burnham , a veteran of both Matabele wars but at that very moment prospecting in the Klondike , to serve on his personal staff as Chief of Scouts . Burnham went on to receive the highest awards of any American who served in the war , but American mercenaries participated on both sides . Australia ( edit ) See also : History of the Australian Army § Boer War 1899 -- 1902 Main article : Military history of Australia during the Second Boer War British and Australian officers in South Africa , c. 1900 From 1899 to 1901 the six separate self - governing colonies in Australia sent their own contingents to serve in the Boer War . That much of the population of the colonies had originated from Great Britain explains a desire to support Britain during the conflict appealing to many . After the colonies formed the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901 , the new Government of Australia sent `` Commonwealth '' contingents to the war . The Boer War was thus the first war in which the Commonwealth of Australia fought . A few Australians fought on the Boer side . The most famous and colourful character was Colonel Arthur Alfred Lynch , formerly of Ballarat , Victoria , who raised the Second Irish Brigade . A memorial in Queanbeyan New South Wales unveiled in 1903 , dedicated to Australians who served in the conflict ( over 20,000 ) . The Australian climate and geography were far closer to that of South Africa than most other parts of the empire , so Australians adapted quickly to the environment , with troops serving mostly among the army 's `` mounted rifles . '' Enlistment in all official Australian contingents totalled 16,463 . Another five to seven thousand Australians served in `` irregular '' regiments raised in South Africa . Perhaps five hundred Australian irregulars were killed . In total 20,000 or more Australians served and about 1,000 were killed . A total of 267 died from disease , 251 were killed in action or died from wounds sustained in battle . A further 43 men were reported missing . When the war began some Australians , like some Britons , opposed it . As the war dragged on some Australians became disenchanted , in part because of the sufferings of Boer civilians reported in the press . In an interesting twist ( for Australians ) , when the British missed capturing President Paul Kruger , as he escaped Pretoria during its fall in June 1900 , a Melbourne Punch , 21 June 1900 , cartoon depicted how the War could be won , using the Kelly Gang . The convictions and executions of two Australian lieutenants , Harry Harbord Morant , colloquially known as ' The Breaker ' for his skill with horses , and Peter Handcock in 1902 , and the imprisonment of a third , George Witton , had little impact on the Australian public at the time despite later legend . The controversial court - martial saw the three convicted of executing Boer prisoners under their authority . After the war , though , Australians joined an empire - wide campaign that saw Witton released from jail . Much later , some Australians came to see the execution of Morant and Handcock as instances of wrongfully executed Australians , as illustrated in the 1980 Australian film Breaker Morant . Canada ( edit ) Wikisource has original text related to this article : Canadian Appeal for the Widows and Orphans of the South African War See also : Military history of Canada § Boer War The unveiling of the South African War Memorial in Toronto , Ontario , Canada , in 1908 Over 7,000 Canadian soldiers and support personnel were involved in the second Boer war from October 1899 to May 1902 . With approximately 7,368 soldiers in a combat situation , the conflict became the largest military engagement involving Canadian soldiers from the time of Confederation until the Great War . Eventually , 270 soldiers died in the course of the Boer War . The Canadian public was initially divided on the decision to go to war as some citizens did not want Canada to become Britain 's ' tool ' for engaging in armed conflicts . Many Anglophone citizens were pro-Empire , and wanted the Prime Minister , Sir Wilfrid Laurier , to support the British in their conflict . On the other hand , many Francophone citizens felt threatened by the continuation of British Imperialism to their national sovereignty . In the end , in order to appease the citizens who wanted war and avoid angering those who did n't , Laurier sent 1,000 volunteers under the command of Lieutenant Colonel William Otter to aid the confederation in its war to ' liberate ' the peoples of the Boer controlled states in South Africa . The volunteers were provided to the British with the stipulation that the British pay costs of the battalion after it arrived in South Africa . The supporters of the war claimed that it `` pitted British Freedom , justice and civilization against Boer backwardness '' . The French Canadians ' opposition to the Canadian involvement in a British ' colonial venture ' eventually led to a three - day riot in various areas of Quebec . Harold Lothrop Borden -- son of the National Minister of Defence and the most famous Canadian casualty of the war Commonwealth involvement in the Boer War can be summarised into three parts . The first part ( October 1899 -- December 1899 ) was characterised by questionable decisions and blunders from the Commonwealth leadership which affected its soldiers greatly . The soldiers of the Commonwealth were shocked at the number of Afrikaner soldiers who were willing to oppose the British . The Afrikaner troops were very willing to fight for their country , and were armed with modern weaponry and were highly mobile soldiers . This was one of the best examples of Guerrilla style warfare , which would be employed throughout the twentieth century after set piece fighting was seen as a hindrance by certain groups . The Boer soldiers would evade capture and secure provisions from their enemies therefore they were able to exist as a fighting entity for an indeterminate period of time . The end of the First part was the period in mid-December which is referred to as the `` Black Week '' . During the week of 10 -- 17 December 1899 , the British suffered three major defeats at the hands of the Boers at the battlefields of Stormberg , Magersfontein and Colenso . Afterwards , the British called upon more volunteers to take part in the war from the Commonwealth . The second part of the war ( February -- April 1900 ) was the opposite of the first . After the British reorganised and reinforced under new leadership , they began to experience success against the Boer soldiers . Commonwealth soldiers resorted to using blockhouses , farm burning and concentration camps to ' persuade ' the resisting Boers into submission . The final phase of the war was the guerrilla phase where many Boer soldiers turned to Guerrilla tactics such as raiding infrastructure or communications lines . Many Canadian soldiers did not actually see combat after getting shipped over to South Africa as many arrived around the time of the signing of the Treaty of Vereeniging on 31 May 1902 . Notable Canadian Engagements Battle Description Paardeberg A British led attack trapped a Boer Army in Central South Africa on the banks of the Modder River from 18 -- 27 February 1900 . Over 800 Canadian Soldiers from Otter 's 2nd Special Service Battalion were attached to the British attack force . This was the first major attack involving the Canadians in the Boer War as well as the first major victory for Commonwealth soldiers . The Canadian soldiers perched on a hill above the Boer camp and were credited with being the main reason that the Boers under General Cronjé surrendered . Zand River On 6 May 1900 , the Commonwealth 's northwards advance to the capital of Pretoria was well on its way . However , the British soldiers encountered a position of Boer soldiers on the Zand River . The British commander felt that the best course of action was to use cavalry to envelop the Boers on their left flank and infantry would therefore march on the Boer right flank to secure a crossing . The Canadian 2nd Battalion was the lead unit advancing on the right flank . However , due to disease and casualties from earlier encounters , the 2nd battalion was reduced to approximately half of its initial strength . The Canadian battalion came under fire from the Boers who were occupying protected positions . The battle continued for several hours until the British cavalry was able to flank the Boers and force a retreat . Canadian casualties were two killed and two wounded . The skirmishes around the Zand River would continue and more soldiers from various Commonwealth countries would become involved . Doornkop On the days of 28 -- 29 May 1900 , both the Canadian 2nd battalion and the 1st Mounted Infantry Brigade fought together on the same battlefield for the first , and only , time . The Mounted Brigade , which encompassed units such as the Canadian Mounted Rifles and the Royal Canadian Dragoons were given the task to establish a beachhead across a river which the Boers had fortified in an attempt to halt the advancing Commonwealth before they could reach the city of Johannesburg . Since the Boers were mounting a heavy resistance to the advancing mounted units , the Commonwealth infantry units were tasked with holding the Boer units while the mounted units found another route across the river with less resistance . Even after the cavalry made it across to the other side of the river further down the line , the infantry had to advance onto the town of Doornkop as they were the ones who were tasked with its capture . The Canadians suffered very minimal casualties and achieved their objective after the Boer soldiers retreated from their positions . Although the Canadians suffered minimal casualties , the lead British unit in the infantry advance , the Gordon Highlanders , did sustain heavy casualties in their march from the riflemen of the Boer force . Leliefontein On 7 November 1900 , a British - Canadian force was searching for a unit of Boer commandos which were known to be operating around the town of Belfast , South Africa . After the British Commander reached the farm of Leliefontein , he began to fear that his line had expanded too far and ordered a withdrawal of the front line troops . The rear guard , consisting of the Royal Canadian Dragoons and two 12 pound guns from D section of the Canadian artillery , were tasked with covering the retreat . The Boers mounted a heavy assault against the Canadians with the intention of capturing the two 12 pound artillery pieces . During this battle , the Afrikaners outnumbered the Canadians almost three to one . A small group of the Dragoons interposed themselves between the Boers and the artillery in order to allow the guns and their crews time to escape . The Dragoons won three Victoria Crosses for their actions during the battle of Leliefontein , the most in any battle with the exception of the Battle of Vimy Ridge in World War I . New Zealand ( edit ) See also : Military history of New Zealand § Second Boer War 1899 -- 1902 New Zealand troops marching down Wellesley Street , Auckland , to embark for South Africa The top of the Dunedin Boer War Memorial . The memorial reaffirms New Zealand 's dedication to the Empire . As McLean and Phillips said , the New Zealand Boer War Memorials are `` tributes to the Empire and outpourings of pride about New Zealand 's place '' in the Empire . When the Second Boer War seemed imminent , New Zealand offered its support . On 28 September 1899 , Prime Minister Richard Seddon asked Parliament to approve the offer to the imperial government of a contingent of mounted rifles , thus becoming the first British Colony to send troops to the Boer War . The British position in the dispute with the Transvaal was `` moderate and righteous , '' he maintained . He stressed the `` crimson tie '' of Empire that bound New Zealand to the mother - country and the importance of a strong British Empire for the colony 's security . By the time peace was concluded two and a half years later , 10 contingents of volunteers , totalling nearly 6,500 men from New Zealand , with 8,000 horses had fought in the conflict , along with doctors , nurses , veterinary surgeons and a small number of school teachers . Some 70 New Zealanders died from enemy action , with another 158 killed accidentally or by disease . The first New Zealander to be killed was Farrier G.R. Bradford at Jasfontein Farm on 18 December 1899 . The Boer War was greeted with extraordinary enthusiasm when the war was over , and peace was greeted with patriotism and national pride . This is best shown by the fact that the Third , Fourth and Fifth contingents from New Zealand were funded by public conscription . Rhodesia ( edit ) Rhodesian military units such as the British South Africa Police , Rhodesia Regiment and Southern Rhodesian Volunteers served in the Second Boer War . South Africa ( edit ) During the war , the British army also included substantial contingents from South Africa itself . There were large communities of English - speaking immigrants and settlers in Natal and Cape Colony ( especially around Cape Town and Grahamstown ) , which formed volunteer units that took the field , or local `` town guards . '' At one stage of the war , a `` Colonial Division , '' consisting of five light horse and infantry units under Brigadier General Edward Brabant , took part in the invasion of the Orange Free State . Part of it withstood a siege by Christiaan De Wet at Wepener on the borders of Basutoland . Another large source of volunteers was the uitlander community , many of whom hastily left Johannesburg in the days immediately preceding the war . Rhodesian volunteers leaving Salisbury for service in the Second Boer War , 1899 Later during the war , Lord Kitchener attempted to form a Boer Police Force , as part of his efforts to pacify the occupied areas and effect a reconciliation with the Boer community . The members of this force were despised as traitors by the Boers still in the field . Those Boers who attempted to remain neutral after giving their parole to British forces were derided as `` hensoppers '' ( hands - uppers ) and were often coerced into giving support to the Boer guerrillas . ( This was one of the reasons for the British ruthlessly scouring the countryside of people , livestock and anything else the Boer commandos might find useful . ) Like the Canadian and particularly the Australian and New Zealand contingents , many of the volunteer units formed by South Africans were `` light horse '' or mounted infantry , well suited to the countryside and manner of warfare . Some regular British officers scorned their comparative lack of formal discipline , but the light horse units were hardier and more suited to the demands of campaigning than the overloaded British cavalry , who were still obsessed with the charge by lance or sabre . At their peak , 24,000 South Africans ( including volunteers from the Empire ) served in the field in various `` colonial '' units . Notable units ( in addition to the Imperial Light Horse ) were the South African Light Horse , Rimington 's Guides , Kitchener 's Horse and the Imperial Light Infantry . Notable people involved in the Boer War ( edit ) Harold Lothrop Borden was the only son of Canada 's Canadian Minister of Defence and Militia , Frederick William Borden . Serving in the Royal Canadian Dragoons , he became the most famous Canadian casualty of the Second Boer War . Queen Victoria asked F.W. Borden for a photograph of his son , Prime Minister Wilfrid Laurier praised his services , tributes arrived from across Canada , and in his home town Canning , Nova Scotia , there is a monument ( by Hamilton MacCarthy ) erected to his memory . Memorial at Plymouth , by Emil Fuchs Sam Hughes -- Senior Militia officer and later a Federally elected cabinet minister . As a very patriotic individual , Hughes became involved in the Boer war as a member of Brigadier - General Herbert Settle 's expedition after Hughes unsuccessfully tried to raise his own brigade of soldiers . Hughes was noted by his colleagues for having a dislike of professional soldiers and he was noted for being an exceptional leader of irregular soldiers , whom he preferred to lead in combat . However , Hughes was dismissed and was sent home in the summer of 1900 for ; sending letters back home which were published outlining British command incompetence , his impatience and boastfulness and his providing surrendering enemies favourable conditions . When he arrived back in Canada , Hughes became very active politically , and he would eventually start his political career with the Conservatives . When he became a member of parliament , Hughes would be in the position to become the Canadian Minister of Defence and Militia in 1911 , just prior the outbreak of World War I . This was a position that Hughes would be dismissed from in 1916 , due once again to his impatience , among other reasons . John McCrae -- Best known as the author of the World War I poem In Flanders Fields , McCrae started his active military service in the Boer War as an artillery officer . After completing several major campaigns , McCrae 's artillery unit was sent home to Canada in 1901 with what would be referred to today as an ' honourable discharge ' . McCrae ended up becoming a special professor in the University of Vermont for pathology and he would later serve in World War I as a Medical officer until his death from pneumonia while on active duty in 1918 . Harry `` Breaker '' Morant -- Australian poet who participated in the summary execution of several Boer prisoners and the killing of a German missionary who had been a witness to the shootings . Morant was court - martialed and executed for murder . Winston Churchill -- Best known as the prime minister of Britain during the main part of the Second World War , Churchill worked as a war correspondent for The Morning Post . At the age of twenty - six , he was captured and held prisoner in a camp in Pretoria from which he escaped and rejoined the British army . He received a commission in the South African Light Horse ( still working as a correspondent ) and witnessed the capture of Ladysmith and Pretoria . Mahatma Gandhi -- Best known as the leader of the independence movement in India , he lived in South Africa 1893 -- 1915 where he worked on behalf of Indians . He volunteered in 1900 to help the British by forming teams of ambulance drivers and raising 1100 Indian volunteer medics . At Spieon Kop Gandhi and his bearers had to carry wounded soldiers for miles to a field hospital because the terrain was too rough for the ambulances . General Redvers Buller mentioned the courage of the Indians in his dispatch . Gandhi and thirty - seven other Indians received the War Medal . Victoria Cross recipients ( edit ) Four Canadian soldiers in the Second Boer War received a Victoria Cross , which is the highest military medal available to soldiers of the Commonwealth and former British Territories . It is awarded based on exemplary bravery and valour in the presence of danger . Sergeant Arthur Herbert Lindsay Richardson -- Soldier of Lord Strathcona 's Horse , Richardson rode a wounded horse , while wounded himself , back into enemy fire to retrieve a wounded comrade whose horse had been killed at Wolve Spruit on 5 July 1900 . Lieutenant Hampden Zane Churchill Cockburn -- Soldier of the Royal Canadian Dragoons , Cockburn received his Victoria Cross on 7 November 1900 when his unit was the rear guard at Leliefontein . Cockburn , along with fellow Victoria Cross recipient Lieutenant R.E.W. Turner , held off an advancing group of Boer soldiers in order to allow two Canadian Field guns to escape along with their crews . Cockburn was wounded and captured by the Boer soldiers . Lieutenant Richard Ernest William Turner -- Soldier of the Royal Canadian Dragoons , Turner received his Victoria Cross during the same portion of the conflict as Cockburn . Turner was wounded in the conflict , however unlike Cockburn , Turner escaped . Turner would later become a high - ranking officer in the Canadian army in World War I . Sergeant Edward James Gibson Holland -- Soldier of the Royal Canadian Dragoons . Holland received his Victoria Cross from the same rear - guard conflict at Leliefontein on 7 November 1900 as Cockburn and Turner . However , Holland received his medal for a different reason than the two aforementioned Lieutenants . During the Boer advance , Holland kept the Boer soldiers at bay with his carriage - mounted Colt machine gun , despite the position becoming increasingly dangerous due to the proximity of the enemy . With his gun jammed and in danger of falling into enemy hands , Holland removed the Colt from its carriage and rode away on his horse with the gun in hand . Final overview ( edit ) The Second Boer War was the harbinger for a new type of combat which would persevere throughout the twentieth century , guerrilla warfare . After the war was over , the entire British army underwent a period of reform which was focused on lessening the emphasis placed on mounted units in combat . It was determined that the traditional role of cavalry was antiquated and improperly used on the battlefield in the modern warfare of the Boer War , and that the First World War was the final proof that mounted attacks had no place in twentieth century combat . Cavalry was put to better use after the reforms in the theatres of the Middle East and World War I , and that the idea of mounted infantry was useful in the times where the war was more mobile . An example of this was in the First World War during the battle of Mons where the British cavalry held the Belgian town against an initial German assault . Or the use of mounted infantry at the Battle of Megiddo ( 1918 ) when Allenby 's force routed the enemy owing to speed and dexterity of arms . The Canadian units of the Royal Canadian Dragoons and the Royal Canadian Mounted Rifles fought in the First World War in the same role as the Boer war . However , during , and after , the Second World War the regiments swapped their horses for mechanised vehicles . The second Boer War was also the beginning of types of conflict involving machine guns , shrapnel and observation balloons which were all used extensively in the First World War . To the Canadians however , attrition was the leading cause of death in the second Boer war , with disease being the cause of approximately half of the Canadian deaths . Canadians ended the war with four Victoria Crosses to its soldiers and two more Victoria Crosses were given to Canadian doctors attached to British Medical Corps units , Lieutenant H.E.M. Douglas ( 1899 , Magersfontein ) and Lieutenant W.H.S. Nickerson ( 1900 , Wakkerstroom ) . Not all soldiers saw action since many landed in South Africa after the hostilities ended while others ( including the 3rd Special Service Battalion , The Royal Canadian Regiment ) performed garrison duty in Halifax , Nova Scotia so that their British counterparts could join at the front lines . Later on , contingents of Canadians served with the paramilitary South Africa Constabulary . Both sides used a scorched Earth policy to deprive the marching enemy of food . And both had to corrall civilians into makeshift huts by ' concentrating them camps . For example , at Buffelspoort British soldiers were held in captivity in Boer encampments after surrendering their arms , and civilians were often mixed in with service personnel because the Boer did not have the resources to do otherwise . A total of 116,000 women , children and Boer soldiers were confined to the Commonwealth concentration camps , of which at least 28,000 , mainly women and children , would die . The lack of food , water , and sanitary provisions was a feature of 20th century warfare for both civilians and armed services personnel , yet one consequence of the Boer War and investigative commissions was the implementation of The Hague Convention ( 1899 ) and Geneva Convention ( 1904 ) ; of which there were many further agreements thereafter . Views on British tactics ( edit ) The British saw their tactics of Scorched Earth and concentration camps as ways of controlling the Boers by `` eliminating the decay and deterioration of the national character '' and as a way of reinforcing the values , through subjugation of citizens and the destruction of the means for the Boer soldiers to continue fighting , of British society that the Boers were rejecting by engaging in a war against the Commonwealth . The Boers saw them as a British ploy designed to coerce the Boer soldiers into a surrender . With approximately 10 % of their population confined , many of whom were women and children , the Boers suggested that the British were forcing the Afrikaners to return to their homes and protect their families who were in danger of internment . Commemorations ( edit ) The Australian National Boer War Memorial Committee organises events to mark the war on 31 May each year . In Canberra , a commemorative service is usually held at the Saint John the Baptist Anglican Church in Reid . Floral tributes are laid for the dead .

"The Second Boer War (11 October 1899 – 31 May 1902) was fought between the British Empire and two Boer states, the South African Republic (Republic of Transvaal) and the Orange Free State, over the Empire's influence in South Africa. It is also known variously as the Boer War, Anglo-Boer War, or South African War. Initial Boer attacks were successful, and although British reinforcements later reversed these, the war continued for years with Boer guerrilla warfare, until harsh British counter-measures brought them to terms.\n",

It provides bonuses for workers who perform their jobs effectively , according to easily measurable criteria . In the United States , policy makers are divided on whether merit pay should be offered to public school teachers , and other public employees , as is commonly the case in the United Kingdom .

These theories are based in the belief that people are rational and react to incentives and that you can increase performance with the correct catalyst . One example of a system that uses merit - pay is the Teacher Advancement Program ( TAP ) created by the Milken Family Foundation in 1999 . TAP is currently in place in more than 180 schools all across the United States . In this program , salary raises are based on some aspects of teacher performance , measured by a combination of observations and student test scores . TAP teachers can advance their career in three ways : ( 1 ) remain in the classroom and become a mentor to others , ( 2 ) leave the classroom and become a master teacher , or ( 3 ) advance to administration through traditional means . This program is focused on helping teachers improve performance by learning from others . Teachers are put into small groups that -- for a few hours each week -- collaborate about what 's working in the classroom . The opportunity allows teachers to build skills that will improve classroom learning . Since adopting TAP in 2001 , Bell Street Middle School has doubled the percent of students with advanced scoring in math and reading . The school has also reduced the number of students scoring `` below basic level of math '' by 46 percent . Another benefit of the TAP program for the middle school has been a reduction in teacher turnover from 32 percent to 10 percent . One criticism of TAP is that it is expensive for schools , costing from $250 to $400 per student per year . Many TAP schools use grants to fund the program cost . An independent study conducted by Vanderbilt University researchers compared TAP schools ' test score gains to non-TAP schools . TAP seems to do better at the elementary school level , but in fact does worse than non-TAP schools in grades 6 through 10 . In 2006 , the United States Congress created a $600 million federal grant program called the Teacher Incentive Plan ( TIF ) . In 2009 , the program was expanded and supported with American Recovery and Reinvestment Act ( ARRA ) funding . According to the U.S. Department of Education , the TIF `` supports efforts to develop and implement performance - based teacher and principal compensation systems in high - need schools . '' The program 's goals include : ( 1 ) improving student achievement by increasing teacher and principal effectiveness ( 2 ) reforming teacher and principal compensation systems so that teachers and principals are rewarded for increases in student achievement ( 3 ) increasing the number of effective teachers teaching poor , minority , and disadvantaged students in hard - to - staff subjects ( 4 ) creating sustainable performance - based compensation systems ( PBCSs ) A national evaluation of the TIF program has yet to be performed , but preliminary research has provided mixed results . According to an article by the Center for American Progress , an evaluation of programs supported by TIF , such as Denver 's ProComp program and the Nashville study ( both discussed below ) , has shown initial evidence that performance - based pay has had a positive effect on student achievement . However , other evaluations , such as a study performed by the Vanderbilt University National Center on Performance Incentives in the metropolitan Nashville School System , have not confirmed the hypothesis that rewarding teachers for improved scores will cause scores to rise . Denver 's Professional Compensation System for Teachers was approved by teachers and financially backed by Denver voters in 2004 and 2005 , and it later received additional funding from a TIF grant in 2006 . In this program , teachers are given nine ways to increase their earnings , such as working in a high - needs schools , exceeding expectations on state exams , meeting professional objectives set at the beginning of the year , receiving a worthy evaluation from a principal , and gaining `` distinguished school '' status by meeting mixed criteria such as parent satisfaction . In 2010 , an evaluation report detailing effects of ProComp was issued . This report highlighted several key findings in both district - wide student achievement trends , as well as in student achievement outcomes relating to teacher hiring effects . On a district - wide level , the 2010 evaluation showed a substantial increase in mathematics and reading achievement from the immediate time period before ProComp 's implementation compared to time period subsequent to the implementation . Additionally , teachers hired after the implementation of ProComp showed higher first - year achievement compared to those hired before the program 's implementation . The National Center on Performance Incentives conducted a three - year study in the metropolitan Nashville School System from 2006 through 2009 , in which middle school mathematics teachers participated in an experiment to evaluate the effect of financial rewards for teachers whose students showed large gains on standardized tests . As stated in the study 's final findings report , `` The experiment was intended to test the notion that rewarding teachers for improved scores would cause scores to rise . '' The results of the study did not confirm this hypothesis . Students of teachers assigned to the treatment group eligible for bonuses did not outperform students whose teachers were assigned to the control group that was not eligible for bonuses . Effort versus selection ( edit ) Most analyses of merit pay , including the Nashville Study , consider whether or not the existing teachers in a school perform better after being offered pay for performance . Scores might go up if teachers work harder or `` work better . '' This situation , often called `` increased effort , '' implies that teachers were not working as hard as they might before the performance pay was offered , and the lack of achievement results implies that the performance pay does not lead to increased effort . On the other hand , an additional feature of performance pay might be improved `` selection '' of who enters and who stays in teaching . For example , a different group of teachers might be induced to enter the teacher profession if pay was aligned more with performance . And , the best teachers , the ones who get the added performance pay , may on average be induced to stay in the classroom longer . These larger impacts through changes in selection would not show up on the evaluations previously conducted but can show up on overall comparisons of countries that do and do not employ performance pay systems . Ludger Woessmann finds evidence that performance pay does improve performance when viewed across countries . Additionally , the analysis of the impact of dismissing ineffective teachers by Eric Hanushek can be interpreted as a special form of performance pay where pay is reduced to zero ( or a very low amount ) for teachers who do not perform well . Loss aversion and merit pay ( edit ) Main article : Loss aversion § Loss aversion within education Loss aversion was first proposed by Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky in 1979 . They proposed the notion that individuals assign value to gains and losses rather than to final assets . In other words , individuals have a tendency to prefer avoiding losses rather than accruing gains . This notion of people hating to lose , more than they like gaining something , even if the potential amount that could be lost is the same as the amount to be gained , has been tested in many arenas . An experiment conducted by Kahneman et al. 1990 Journal of Political Economy describes testing loss aversion through the concepts of the Endowment effect and the Coase Theorem . The endowment effect reveals the notion that people place a higher value on objects they own relative to objects they do not . The Coase theorem focuses on transaction costs and the importance of who owns a particular commodity . They found that randomly assigned owners of a mug required significantly more money to part with their possession ( around $7 ) than randomly assigned buyers were willing to pay to acquire it ( around $3 ) . Kahneman attributed this result to loss aversion : owners were affected more by the loss of the mug compared to the effect of a buyer purchasing the mug as a gain . Another experiment conducted by Terrance Odean at Berkeley College examined the account of 10,000 investors at a large discount brokerage house . The tendency of investors revealed they held on to losing investments too long and sold winning investments too soon . Their behavior did not appear to be motivated by rational re-balancing of portfolios or to avoid higher trading costs . According to Odean , these investors held on to these losing stocks in order to prolong the feeling of loss from selling them , even though there was no evidence that by holding onto them , they would rise in value . `` Winning investments that investors chose to sell continued in subsequent months to outperform the losing stocks investors kept . '' Benefits ( edit ) Leads to better educational outcomes . Proponents argue that paying teachers according to their effectiveness would be consistent with management precepts from the private sector and would lead to better educational outcomes . Lewis Solmon , President of the TAP and a control group that merit pay contributes toward student achievement . The RAND study concluded that fifty percent of the schools with these reforms outperformed the control schools in math and forty - seven percent outperformed the control in reading . Helps low - performing schools attract teachers . Schools that use merit pay are better able to attract teachers than schools with no merit pay system . This is especially helpful in enabling schools with lower socioeconomic status attract qualified teachers . For instance , a review of the Teacher Advancement Program ( 2 ) in Arizona showed that over a three - year period , 61 teachers started working at the two schools of lowest socioeconomic status in the Madison school district , both of which use the TAP and of these teachers 21 % have come from schools in high socioeconomic areas . Higher teacher retention rates . Merit pay programs can also alleviate the problem of teacher retention . Stronge , Gareis and Little ( 2006 ) argue that merit pay or other performance pay programs provide added motivation for teachers in keeping novice teachers from leaving the profession after a few years and especially in retaining experienced teachers . Show the value of a teachers work Teachers who actually strive for their students to be better will show under the performance pay . Teachers will work harder to maintain their incentives Higher scores will demonstrate a teacher 's ability of going the extra mile . Detractors ( edit ) Low teacher morale and increased competition between teachers . Wasted time and money in the administration of the merit pay plans . Little evidence from research that incentive programs lead to student achievement . In 1994 the Urban Institute conducted a study and found some positive short - lived effects of merit pay , but concluded that most merit pay plans `` did not succeed at implementing lasting , effective ... plans that had a demonstrated ability to improve student learning . '' Problems included low teacher morale because of increased competition between teachers , as well as wasted time and money in the administration of the merit pay plans . The same study found `` little evidence from other research ... that incentive programs ( particularly pay - for - performance ) had led to improved teacher performance and student achievements . '' Marie Gryphon , an education policy analyst at the Cato Institute , makes some practical objections : The system ca n't simply reward high scores . If it did , it would favor teachers in wealthy neighborhoods whose students came to school with excellent skills . Nor can the system reward only improvement . If it did , it would unfairly penalize teachers whose students were already scoring too well to post large gains . Moreover , any money for test results scheme will worsen the problem of teachers cheating on standardized tests to avoid the consequences of the No Child Left Behind Act . Teachers willing to erase wrong answers on exams to avoid having their school labeled `` needing improvement '' will also be tempted by the thought of a personal raise . Teachers may not feel the need to help one another and may feel they have to compete with one another . Merit pay may lead educators to become dishonest in order to receive the higher pay of higher test scores . Political opinions and implementation history ( edit ) Teacher merit pay ( edit ) Some political figures support the merit - pay system as an effective policy for enhancing educational quality . Political reactions ( edit ) Jeb Bush , governor of Florida during that time , enacted a 5 percent bonus for the top 25 percent of teachers in the state of Florida . A large factor in selection of the top 25 percent of teachers was student score improvement . A similar program was implemented in Houston at the same time , only lacking a limit on the percentage of teachers who could receive the bonus . Teachers in both states rebelled , stating that a year of instruction ca n't be measured in a single test , on a single day . These systems showed other imperfections as well . For example , a county in Florida ran out of money before all the teachers received bonuses . Accusations of discrimination also existed , a result of difference in pay between predominately black and predominately white schools . President Barack Obama does support merit pay for teachers . He believes teachers ' pay should be increased based on performance tests , not arbitrary tests . He wishes to work with the National Education Association ( NEA ) to find a new system to get rid of performance pay . The National Education Association ( NEA ) adamantly opposes some forms of merit pay . In June 2003 NEA President Reg Weaver said : Teachers understand that politically motivated panaceas such as merit pay and eliminating tenure do nothing to improve teacher quality . Our members are open to alternatives , but we will always oppose quick fixes designed to weaken the voice of teachers and effectiveness of education employees in all jobs . In September 2011 , President Obama took steps to reform certain unpopular and ineffective provisions of No Child Left Behind , stating , `` Congress has n't been able to do it , so I will . The most notable change to the law related to the 2014 deadline for all schools to bring their entire student body to `` proficient '' levels in reading and math . The Obama administration offered a pass on the deadline and the opportunity to design their own accountability systems to some schools . The provisions that required failing schools to offer after - school tutoring and no - cost bus transportation to better schools were also waived . In order to qualify for these waivers , however , states must demonstrate an adoption of `` college and career ready '' academic standards and deliver a sketch of how they plan to transform their lowest performing schools . States that apply for these waivers this fall can be reviewed by the Education Department early next year . According to Eugene Wilhoit , executive director of the Council of Chief State School Officers , likely candidates for early application include Georgia , Kentucky , Wisconsin , and Colorado . Wilhoit believes that other states will also apply for the waiver after watching the process unfold for the states that apply early . Still , other states are not likely to apply at all , unwilling to disrupt current accountability systems when No Child Left Behind could soon be overhauled by Congress . Federal government merit pay ( edit ) Clinton and Gore ( edit ) In early 1993 , incoming President Bill Clinton -- inheriting a federal government mired in recession and record debt -- assigned his Vice President , Al Gore , to form a National Performance Review ( NPR ) panel to undertake a `` Reinventing Government '' initiative `` to create a government that ' works better , costs less , and gets results Americans care about . ' '' In 1993 , with Executive Order 12862 , the President called for a revolution in government 's customer service to deliver services equal to the best in business . Working with David Osborne ( noted co-author of the popular book Reinventing Government ) and leaders in government , business and organizational development , the committee made numerous recommendations , and developed implementation schemes for them . Among those was `` III . Reinvent To Get The Job Done With Less - 9 . Create Performance - Based Organizations ( PBOs ) . '' The NPR 's `` Blair House Papers '' explained that : Performance - Based Organizations ( PBOs ) are discrete management units that commit to clear objectives , specific measurable goals , customer service standards , and targets for improved performance . Once designated , they would have customized managerial flexibilities and a competitively hired chief executive , who would sign an annual performance agreement with the Secretary and have a share of his or her pay depend on the organization 's performance . The British , who have extensive experience with this concept , find that such agencies improve performance and cut administrative costs . Thus began the modern movement towards merit - based pay in U.S. federal civil service . However , the NPR was clear that not all functions of government were suited to such performance - rewarded incentives : In a PBO , the policy - making and regulatory functions are split from their program operations . The PBO focuses on programmatic operations . Not all government agencies are suited to become PBOs . Operations that do not have clear , measurable results should be excluded . For example , the foreign policy and planning offices in the State Department or basic scientific research offices at the National Institutes for Health may be inappropriate candidates . Subsequent efforts of the NPR ( by 1999 renamed the `` National Partnership for Reinventing Government '' ) led to additional efforts to identify and apply effective and suitable ways to reward federal employee performance . Bush ( edit ) In 2004 , Pres . George W. Bush and other Republicans favored shifting federal civilian employee salary pay raises from across - the - board uniform raises towards a merit - based pay system -- particularly through a proposed system called the `` ... Human Capital Performance Fund , which agencies can use to reward their highest performing employees , ... '' according to a March , 2004 letter to Congress from the Bush administration 's Director of the Office of Management & Budget ( OMB ) , Joshua Bolten . The Bush Budget Director 's letter goes on to say : The President 's pay proposal provides sufficient pay not only to recruit and retain needed workers , but also to reward the government 's highest performing employees . The Administration is implementing better agency performance appraisal systems that will be able to distinguish superior performance . Such systems will enable agencies to reward employees with funds from the Human Capital Performance Fund . These incentives will produce improved performance and results for the American people . Federal workers should be rewarded with a pay policy that most effectively recruits , retains , and rewards quality employees . Critics , particularly Democrats , especially from districts with high dependence on federal civilian employment ( e.g. : around Washington , D.C. , in adjoining Maryland and Virginia ) , expressed objections to the Bush administration 's desire to allocate raises differently for civilian federal workers than for military personnel . Obama ( edit ) Inheriting the merit pay programs instituted by the prior administration -- along with two wars and the `` Great Recession , '' and a divided Congress -- Pres . Barack Obama , and both parties in Congress , found difficulty in managing federal employee compensation . Despite an official pay freeze , federal employee compensation continued to rise -- owing in part to the merit pay ( `` pay - for - performance '' or `` employee bonus '' ) system , but also due to promotions and to automatic scheduled increases in `` completing waiting periods used in grade - and step - type pay systems . '' Chairman of the House Oversight & Government Reform Committee , Rep. Darrell Issa ( R - Calif . ) claimed , `` These increases are driven by automatic , tenure - based pay hikes that are in no way tied to merit or performance . '' Congressional Democrats and federal employees ' unions responded that federal workers were not paid competitively with the private market , and the increases were overdue . Critics , however , and the Congressional Budget Office ( CBO ) , concluded that federal workers earned substantially more than their counterparts in the private sector . A CBO report said overall average federal compensation was 16 % higher than in for corresponding work in the private sector . On December 27 , 2012 , Obama issued an executive order giving federal employees an across - the - board raise , estimated by Congressional Republicans as costing taxpayers `` $11 billion over ten years . '' In response , in February , 2013 , House Republicans passed H.R. 273 `` Overturning the President 's Federal Pay Hike , '' to undo Obama 's blanket federal pay hike . However , underscoring their commitment to incentive - based compensation , they took pains to note that merit pay remained . In a `` Fact Sheet '' on the bill , the committee reported : Federal Workers Still Get Raises H.R. 273 does NOT prevent federal employees from receiving bonuses , merit based pay increases , promotions , or even tenure based pay increases -- commonly referred to as `` step '' increases . It simply prevents the President from implementing a planned across the board increase for all federal employees Heritage Foundation ( edit ) Speaking for the leading conservative `` think tank '' , the Heritage Foundation , James Sherk , in testimony before the House Committee on Oversight & Government Reform , March 9 , 2011 , blamed automatic raises for federal pay inflation , which he said surpassed private sector pay . Brookings Institution ( edit ) In late 2013 , the leading liberal `` think - tank , '' the Brookings Institution , published research by analysts Choi and Whitford , who cautioned that -- despite a shift of resources to merit - based pay for federal workers , intended to `` better align pay and performance '' -- such efforts often fail , and such incentives `` may not work '' for `` public organizations . '' However , rather than focus on the results of merit - based pay in `` individual and organizational performance , '' Choi and Whitford focused , instead , on its effects on `` job satisfaction , '' saying that is `` often a good predictor of performance . '' They studied federal government `` findings '' that indicated that subjecting federal employees to merit - based pay produces workers who are `` consistently less happy '' with their pay , their job and their organization , than those federal employees paid in `` traditional compensation systems . '' Their report expresses concern that this could affect long - term outcomes . Veterans Health administration scandal of 2014 ( edit ) Main article : Veterans Health Administration scandal of 2014 The idea of merit pay receive a major discrediting blow from the Veterans Health Administration scandal of 2014 ( still developing as of June 2014 ) , which revealed nationwide altering of records by VA executives -- particularly falsifying patient waiting lists and wait times , and the keeping of `` secret '' wait lists -- to ensure receiving merit pay bonuses . Over 1,000 veterans have been reported affected , as of June 2014 , with dozens having apparently died waiting for care . The scandal has become the leading U.S. domestic news story in April / May / June 2014 , resulting in investigations by the VA Inspector General , Congress , and others . The VA 's merit pay system and bonuses , and lack of scrutiny of their distribution , are the most frequently cited root cause for the problem , as of June 2014 . The issue first became a major national topic when a doctor at the VA hospital in Phoenix reported that perhaps over 40 patients had died due to false and secret waiting - lists that delayed or prevented their care . Subsequent reports found similar allegations at many other VA medical facilities around the nation . Patient wait times were a metric used to determine executive bonuses , and it is alleged that the delays in care were concealed by wait list abuses in order to ensure that staff received bonuses . Citing records obtained by OpentheBooks.com through a Freedom of Information Act ( FOIA ) request , Fox News reported that Employees at the Phoenix VA office were paid `` millions in higher - than - average salaries and bonuses , '' adding that between 2011 and 2013 , `` over $843,000 in bonuses '' were paid out to approximately `` half the system 's 3,170 workers '' . This averages to approximately $530 per rewarded employee , though bonuses varied widely and most employees did not receive any bonus money ; Fox News reported that the Phoenix VA 's Director , Sharon Helman , got the largest bonus in 2013 of $9,345 . Subsequent allegations and audits revealed the waiting list issue in Phoenix was not unique , but part of a wider , systemic problem in the VA nationwide , with secret waiting lists and related issues being uncovered at numerous other VA medical facilities , including in Chicago , Kansas City , Wichita , El Paso , and elsewhere . On May 30 , 2014 , President Obama accepted the resignation of Secretary of Veterans Affairs , Gen. Eric Shenseki , noting that ... A few minutes ago , Secretary Shinseki and Rob Nabors , who I 've temporarily assigned to work with the VA , presented me with the department 's initial review of VA facilities nationwide . And what they 've found is that the misconduct has not been limited to a few VA facilities , but many across the country . That 's totally unacceptable . '' Secretary Shinseki has now begun the process of firing many of the people responsible , including senior leaders at the Phoenix VA . He 's canceled any possible performance bonuses this year for VHA senior executives ...

Sculptor Gheorghe Leonida created the face Material Soapstone Height 30 metres ( 98 ft ) and 38 metres ( 125 ft ) tall with its pedestal Completion date Dedicated October 12 , 1931 Consecrated October 12 , 2006 New Seven Wonders of the World July 7 , 2007 National Historic Heritage of Brazil Designated Reference no . 1478 Christ the Redeemer ( Portuguese : Cristo Redentor , standard Brazilian Portuguese : ( ˈkɾistu ʁedẽˈtoʁ ) , local pronunciation : ( ˈkɾiɕtŭ̻ xe̞dẽ̞ˈtoɦ ) ) is an Art Deco statue of Jesus Christ in Rio de Janeiro , Brazil , created by French sculptor Paul Landowski and built by Brazilian engineer Heitor da Silva Costa , in collaboration with French engineer Albert Caquot . Romanian sculptor Gheorghe Leonida fashioned the face . Constructed between 1922 and 1931 , the statue is 30 metres ( 98 ft ) high , excluding its 8 - metre ( 26 ft ) pedestal . The arms stretch 28 metres ( 92 ft ) wide . The statue weighs 635 metric tons ( 625 long , 700 short tons ) , and is located at the peak of the 700 - metre ( 2,300 ft ) Corcovado mountain in the Tijuca Forest National Park overlooking the city of Rio de Janeiro . A symbol of Christianity across the world , the statue has also become a cultural icon of both Rio de Janeiro and Brazil , and is listed as one of the New7Wonders of the World . It is made of reinforced concrete and soapstone . Contents 1 History 2 Restoration 3 Similar structures 4 Gallery 5 See also 6 References 7 Further reading 8 External links History ( edit ) A view of the Corcovado before the construction , 19th century Aerial view of the statue . Vincentian priest , Pedro Maria Boss , first suggested placing a Christian monument on Mount Corcovado in the mid 1850s to honor Princess Isabel , princess regent of Brazil and the daughter of Emperor Pedro II , but the project was not approved . In 1889 the country became a republic , and due to the separation of church and state , the proposed statue was dismissed . The Catholic Circle of Rio made a second proposal for a landmark statue on the mountain in 1920 . The group organized an event called Semana do Monumento ( `` Monument Week '' ) to attract donations and collect signatures to support the building of the statue . The organization was motivated by what they perceived as ' Godlessness ' in the society . The donations came mostly from Brazilian Catholics . The designs considered for the `` Statue of the Christ '' included a representation of the Christian cross , a statue of Jesus with a globe in his hands , and a pedestal symbolizing the world . The statue of Christ the Redeemer with open arms , a symbol of peace , was chosen . Local engineer Heitor da Silva Costa designed the statue . French sculptor Paul Landowski created the work . In 1922 , Landowski commissioned fellow Parisian Romanian sculptor Gheorghe Leonida , who studied sculpture at the Fine Arts Conservatory in Bucharest and in Italy . A group of engineers and technicians studied Landowski 's submissions and felt building the structure of reinforced concrete ( designed by Albert Caquot ) instead of steel was more suitable for the cross-shaped statue . The concrete making up the base was supplied from Limhamn , Sweden . The outer layers are soapstone , chosen for its enduring qualities and ease of use . Construction took nine years , from 1922 to 1931 and cost the equivalent of US $250,000 ( equivalent to $3,400,000 in 2017 ) and the monument opened on October 12 , 1931 . During the opening ceremony , the statue was to be lit by a battery of floodlights turned on remotely by Italian shortwave radio inventor Guglielmo Marconi , stationed 5,700 miles ( 9,200 km ) away in Rome but because of bad weather , the lights were activated on - site . In October 2006 , on the 75th anniversary of the statue 's completion , Archbishop of Rio , Cardinal Eusebio Oscar Scheid , consecrated a chapel , named after Brazil 's patron saint -- Our Lady of the Apparition , under the statue , allowing Catholics to hold baptisms and weddings there . Lightning struck the statue during a violent thunderstorm on February 10 , 2008 , causing some damage to the fingers , head and eyebrows . The Rio de Janeiro state government initiated a restoration effort to replace some of the outer soapstone layers and repair the lightning rods on the statue . Lightning damaged it again , on January 17 , 2014 , dislodging a finger on the right hand . In 2010 , a massive restoration of the statue began . Work included cleaning , replacing the mortar and soapstone on the exterior , restoring iron in the internal structure , and waterproofing the monument . Vandals attacked the statue during renovation , spraying paint along the arm . Mayor Eduardo Paes called the act `` a crime against the nation '' . The culprits later apologized and presented themselves to the police . In reference to Brazil striker Ronaldo 's usual goal celebration of both arms outstretched , the Pirelli tyre company ran a 1998 commercial in which he replaced the statue while in an Inter Milan strip . The commercial was controversial with the Catholic Church . In 2015 two Russian and Ukrainian urban explorers , Vadim Makhorov and Vitaly Raskalov from Ontheroofs , climbed the statue with captured video footage and photos . Restoration ( edit ) A panoramic view of the statue at the top of Corcovado Mountain with Sugarloaf Mountain ( centre ) and Guanabara Bay in the background . Christ the Redeemer at night as seen from Tijuca Forest Corcovado Rack Railway In 1990 , several organizations , including the Archdiocese of Rio de Janeiro , media company Grupo Globo , oil company Shell do Brasil , environmental regulator IBAMA , National Institute of Historic and Artistic Heritage , and the city government of Rio de Janeiro entered an agreement to conduct restoration work . More work on the statue and its environs was conducted in 2003 and early 2010 . In 2003 , a set of escalators , walkways , and elevators were installed to facilitate access to the platform surrounding the statue . The four - month restoration in 2010 focused on the statue itself . The statue 's internal structure was renovated and its soapstone mosaic covering was restored by removing a crust of fungi and other microorganisms and repairing small cracks . The lightning rods located in the statue 's head and arms were also repaired , and new lighting fixtures were installed at the foot of the statue . The restoration involved one hundred people and used more than 60,000 pieces of stone taken from the same quarry as the original statue . During the unveiling of the restored statue , it was illuminated with green - and - yellow lighting in support of the Brazil national football team playing in the 2010 FIFA World Cup . Maintenance work needs to be conducted periodically due to the strong winds and erosion to which the statue is exposed , as well as lightning strikes . The original pale stone is no longer available in sufficient quantities , and replacement stones are increasingly darker in hue .

Contents ( hide ) 1 Plot 2 Cast 3 Production 4 Reception 5 Awards and nominations 6 See also 7 Footnotes 8 External links Plot ( edit ) The film begins in 1935 in Florence , Italy , where a group of cultured expatriate English women -- called the `` Scorpioni '' by the Italians -- meet for tea every afternoon . Young Luca ( Charlie Lucas ) is the illegitimate son of an Italian businessman ( Massimo Ghini ) who shows little interest in his son 's upbringing ; the boy 's mother , a dressmaker , has recently died . Mary Wallace ( Joan Plowright ) , who works as the man 's secretary , steps in to care for him , turning for support to her Scorpioni friends , including eccentric would - be artist Arabella ( Judi Dench ) . Together , they teach Luca many lessons about life and especially the arts . Elsa Morganthal ( Cher ) , a brash rich young American widow whom Scorpioni matron Lady Hester Random ( Maggie Smith ) barely tolerates , sets up a financial trust for Luca when she learns of the death of his mother , whom she was fond of and to whom Elsa still owes money for her dressmaking services . One day when the ladies are in a restaurant for afternoon tea , it is vandalised by Fascists , reflecting the increasingly uncertain position of the expatriate community . Lady Hester , widow of Britain 's former ambassador to Italy , retains an admiring faith in Benito Mussolini ( Claudio Spadaro ) and takes it upon herself to visit him , receiving his insincere assurances of their safety , and proudly recounts her `` tea with Mussolini '' . But the political situation continues to deteriorate and the Scorpioni find their status and liberties diminishing . Luca 's father decides that Italy 's future is with Germany rather than Britain and sends Luca to an Austrian boarding school . Five years later , Luca ( now played by Baird Wallace ) returns to Florence with the intention of using Elsa 's trust fund to study art . He finds that most British nationals are fleeing the country , anticipating Mussolini 's declaration of war on Great Britain , and that Mary has moved in with Lady Hester and the other English hold - outs . He arrives at the house just as they -- and Hester 's ineffectual grandson Wilfred ( Paul Chequer ) , disguised as a young woman for his safety -- are being rounded up and put onto a transport truck , which he follows to the nearby Tuscan town of San Gimignano . Because the United States is not at war , Elsa and her American compatriot Georgie Rockwell ( Lily Tomlin ) , an openly lesbian archaeologist , remain free . Elsa uses Luca to deliver forged orders and funds to have the ladies moved from their distressingly barracks - like quarters to an upper class hotel . Believing that Mussolini himself issued the orders , Lady Hester is delighted , proudly brandishing the newspaper photo of her tea with Il Duce . The Piazza Cisterna in San Gimignano , where many of the film 's scenes were shot . As the war progresses , oppression of Jews increases and Jewish Elsa -- protected somewhat by her citizenship and wealth -- provides a group of Italian Jews with fake passports , enlisting Luca -- who has become enamored with her -- to deliver them . However Luca becomes jealous when she forms a romantic alliance with Vittorio ( Paolo Seganti ) , a shrewd Italian lawyer . When the United States enters the war in 1941 , Elsa and Georgie are interned with the British women . Elsa falls for Vittorio 's scheme to embezzle her art collection and money , which would deliver her to the German Gestapo in a phony escape to Switzerland . Luca is aware of the deception but does not tell anyone out of jealous spite against Elsa . Mary learns of it from Elsa 's art dealer , ( Mino Bellei ) , and scolds Luca . His attitude changes and he gives his trust fund money to members of the Italian resistance movement , which Wilfred has joined . Elsa still refuses to believe Vittorio 's betrayal and is ultimately convinced only when Lady Hester , informed by Mary and Luca of what Elsa has secretly done for all of them , repents of her contempt for Elsa and offers her gratitude and help . Elsa consents to an escape plan hatched by Mary , Luca and Wilfred . Before she departs , Elsa tells Luca how she once helped his young mother choose to go through with her pregnancy , thus allowing him to be there for her . In July 1944 , as the British Army advances toward San Gimignano , Arabella frantically defends her beloved frescoes from demolition by German troops and is heroically joined in the line of fire by Georgie and the English women , including Lady Hester . They are saved when the Germans receive orders to retreat , leaving the women and the towers untouched . The city rejoices as the Scots arrive , with Luca now serving as their commander 's Italian interpreter . The major has orders to evacuate the Scorpioni but Lady Hester refuses to cooperate , resolved that they will resume their former lives in Italy . Mary is delighted to see that Luca -- now in British uniform -- has become the `` English gentleman '' his father wished him to become . Closing texts explain the mostly happy fates of the characters , concluding with the remark that Luca went on to become an artist and `` helped in making this film '' -- in other words , as writer and director .

She was the dowager of the community . I remember the many outrageous things she did because she could afford to be arrogant and bossy .

It was written and produced by Steve Kipner and David Frank , with additional writing from Pamela Sheyne . The song was released on June 22 , 1999 , by RCA Records as the album 's lead single . `` Genie in a Bottle '' uses sexual references to talk about the theme of self - respect . `` Genie in a Bottle '' received generally favorable reviews from contemporary music critics , most of whom praised the song 's lyrics and Aguilera 's vocals on the track . The single achieved commercial success , peaking atop the record charts of 21 countries . In the United States , the song peaked atop the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America ( RIAA ) , having sold more than 1.4 million copies in the country . Globally the single sold over 10 million copies and is listed as one of the best - selling singles of all time . A music video for `` Genie in a Bottle '' was directed by Diane Martel and shot in Malibu , California . The video was well received by media outlets and gained a lot of play on music channels including VH1 , BET and was featured heavily on the MTV program Total Request Live . `` Genie in a Bottle '' has been widely recognized as one of Aguilera 's signature songs , and was credited with establishing her name in the music industry . Aguilera recorded two remakes of `` Genie in a Bottle '' and included them on her albums : a Spanish version entitled `` Genio Atrapado '' was included on Mi Reflejo ( 2000 ) , and an electropop - oriented version entitled `` Genie 2.0 '' was included on Keeps Gettin ' Better : A Decade of Hits ( 2008 ) .

She began recording sessions with producers Roberts Alleca and Michael Brown , but was displeased with the current pace of her career . Despite being offered free studio time with Alleca and Brown , Aguilera ventured to Japan in an effort to boost her career . While there , the pair offered her the opportunity to collaborate with Japanese pop star Keizo Nakanishi on the track `` All I Wanna Do '' ( 1994 ) , though the experience failed to achieve commercial success . As her international successes broadened , Aguilera caught the attention of future manager Steve Kurtz ; she had previously had a spoken agreement with Ruth Inniss , which subsequently never came to be . Kurtz spent much of his time devoted to finding Aguilera a record deal , sending demos to multiple companies . Just as communications with RCA Records began , she was offered the chance to record `` Reflection '' , the theme song for the 1998 Disney film Mulan . Its success landed her a multi-album recording contract . RCA 's financial state prevented them from contending with major labels at the time . In an attempt to encourage Aguilera to sign with them and maintain the hype surrounding `` Reflection '' , they offered to record and release her debut studio album by January 1999 , though such an arrangement ultimately failed to happen . Originally , Aguilera `` was n't too crazy '' about the demo recording for `` Genie in a Bottle '' , though she eventually became `` proud '' of the end result . RCA executive Ron Fair sympathized with her reaction to the release and inclusion of the track , finding that the marketing decision would be to release a `` sugar candy '' number one single , something that was n't necessarily a `` great song '' so that her career could strengthen . Writing and development ( edit ) EMI executive Carla Ondrasik introduced two of her most prominent songwriters , David Frank and Steve Kipner . They began working together , and later collaborated with writer Pamelia Sheyne . The evening before their songwriting appointment , Frank awoke with an idea for a song which consisted of an eight bar loop with `` a lot of different changes '' . When presenting the track to Sheyne , she performed the lyrics `` If you want to be with me '' , which Frank liked . The three writers continued adding lyrics to a `` really fast '' writing session ; they agreed that intellect was an afterthought , with the main intention to create a `` hit song '' . They agreed a female should serve as the lead singer , at which point Frank recommended that Aguilera record the track . Aguilera contributed a spoken hook for the song , commenting that there `` was n't enough time '' between the Mulan soundtrack and Christina Aguilera recording sessions for her to provide lyrical offerings . She later claimed that she had a substantial role in the track 's production , stating that she adjusted instruments and lyrics after being displeased with its `` rough beginnings '' . Originally presented as `` If You Want to Be With Me '' , Aguilera 's management suggested the final name `` Genie in a Bottle '' . The title was conceived to present an Arabian theme , which the label felt they could market with beaded jewelry and clothing to develop the record 's theme . Prior to being recorded by Aguilera , the track received much interest from the writers of the up - and - coming girl group Innosense , who felt that the band was more likely to make the song a hit . However , after RCA Records executive Ron Fair pushed for the track , the writers allowed Aguilera to record the track , and had `` no doubt '' she was the right performer after she completed the recording . Recording ( edit ) Aguilera performing `` Genie in a Bottle '' on her Stripped World Tour . The demo track that the record company had heard originally was used as a basis for Aguilera 's actual recording as she simply replaced the vocals on the demo with her own before the writers and producers edited it for improvement , however after the first recording was completed they felt her vocals were too `` hard '' sounding and a second proved to be `` softer '' which they had wished for . Kipner , co-writer of the track , was impressed by Aguilera 's performance of complex R&B lines during the recording of the track , something he only saw in older artists comparing her vocals to that of ; Chaka Khan , Etta James and Mariah Carey . The recording of `` Genie in a Bottle '' was detailed in an article by Sound on Sound in which David Frank described the development of the track . Before Frank had met Aguilera most of `` Genie in a Bottle '' had already been completed , he had heard a tape delivered by RCA featuring Aguilera 's performance of `` Reflection '' but Frank feared she could not perform in a `` hip - hop orientated style '' . The instrumental for `` Genie in a Bottle '' was almost complete before the entire composition had been finished , it was only when he was contacted by songwriter Pam Sheyne that they progressed in writing the track and later Frank contacted Steve Kipner `` a good friend '' of his , and after agreeing to collaborate the three continued writing `` Genie in a Bottle '' . Composition ( edit ) `` Genie in a Bottle '' A 22 - second sample of `` Genie in a Bottle '' 's chorus . The song uses sexual reference to talk about self - respect . Problems playing this file ? See media help . Reviewers of `` Genie in a Bottle '' noted the youthful message with The New York Times saying `` One of the summer 's catchiest singles captures the moment 's anxieties about teen - age sex '' . The track has been described as `` blue - eyed - soul '' and has been labelled `` a skittish dance hit , propelled by indecision `` My body 's saying let 's go ( ... ) but my heart is saying no '' . The chorus then plays with `` bubbly dance beats '' as Aguilera metaphorically describes herself as a Genie trapped , and can only be released when rubbed `` the right way '' . She explained `` If you listen to the words `` My body 's saying let 's go but my heart is saying no '' . My heart is saying no . So it 's really a song about self - respect and treating me the way I want to be treated before I just give my love away to anybody `` . Celebrities such as Debbie Gibson spoke out against the song saying she was `` horrified '' with the lyricism being performed by an 18 - year - old ; the comment went on to upset Aguilera who found her being a female was restricting what she could perform . Lyricism in the track had sexual references which saw controversy arise , Larry Flick from Billboard commented , `` Fueled by a chugging groove and richly layered vocals , the tune is punctuated by a breathy command to ' rub me the right way . ' '' Aguilera said that `` the song is not about sex , It 's about self - respect . It 's about not giving in to temptation until you 're respected . '' In Malaysia the controversial lyrics gained it a ban which led Aguilera to re-record some of the lyrics such as ; `` hormones racing '' to `` heart - beats racing '' and `` rub the right way '' to `` treat me the right way '' . `` Genie in a Bottle '' is written in the key of F minor with a tempo of 88 beats per minute . The song follows a chord progression of Fm -- E ♭ -- D ♭ , and Aguilera 's vocals span from F to B ♭ . Critical reception ( edit ) ' Genie ' , ( Aguilera 's ) ubiquitous first single , became an instant hit due to its catchy chorus and Aguilera 's appeal . Besides being her first hit single , the song also separated her from the other pop stars that were coming out at the same time . The single boasted debatably provocative lyrics ( ' my body 's saying let 's go ' and other lyrics were considered too provocative to be sung by a teen idol some thought . Radio Disney played a censored version of the song on their station ) . Aguilera quickly established she was different than your typical pop star . '' -- Yahoo ! , Nicole Hogsett describing the song 's impact on Aguilera 's career Tom Lanham of Entertainment Weekly gave the song a B+ rating referencing the predictability after other performers from the Mickey Mouse Club writing `` Yet another ex-Mouseketeer scampers down the Britney - pop path with a suggestive synth ditty and a husky voice well beyond her 18 years . '' Lanham wrote her vocal performance is `` uncomfortably adult '' and called the track `` a sinfully sweet confection '' . A writer for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette gave the song a positive review calling it a `` smoldering soul - pop '' track and described Aguilera 's vocals as being `` provocative '' whilst calling the song a `` pleasure '' to listen to . In a review for the album Christina Aguilera critic Robert Christgau called the song a `` dazzling clever piece of teen self - exploration cum sexploitation '' . Nana - Adwoa Ofori of the AOL Radio blog listed the song as her top Christina Aguilera song declaring it as her `` signature '' track . A writer from Daily News found Aguilera to be more capable vocally than the tracks limits but found the track to be `` a slice of thumping sensuality '' . Nicole Hogsett of Yahoo ! found the song 's appeal was due to the catchy chorus but found the song separated her from other pop stars at the time of the single 's release . Hogsett found the song quickly `` established she was different than your typical pop star '' . People called the song `` sexy '' and `` pulsating '' . A writer for The New York Times `` got '' the song 's youthful message and said `` One of the summer 's catchiest singles captures the moment 's anxieties about teenage sex . ' Genie in a Bottle ' , sung by the blue - eyed former Mouseketeer Christina Aguilera , is a skittish dance hit propelled by indecision '' . Pier Dominquez , writer of A Star is Made found the song could be deemed suggestive but stated the track does not promote sex or promiscuity . He found the sensuality of the song came from Aguilera 's vocal delivery and found her ad - libbing something that would set her apart from other artists . The Spanish version from album Mi Reflejo received some opinions too . Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic highlighted Spanish version on Mi Reflejo . Eliseo Cardona , CDNOW senior editor was not satisfied with translation : `` ... when Aguilera sings her breakout hit `` Genie in the Bottle '' in a direct Spanish translation , `` Genio atrapado , '' she sounds funny , if not ill at ease . Indeed , the overly literal Spanish lyrics make for both a good laugh and a better yawn . '' Parry Gettelman of Orlando Sentinel praised her vocals : `` Aguilera 's powerhouse style works best on the urban - flavored up - tempo numbers . She uses the more attractive lower end of her range on expanses of `` Genio Atrapado . '' SEAN PICCOLI Music Writer of SunSentinel wrote a positive review : `` Genio Atrapado , the opener , is as cheesy - sexy - cool as the original , Genie in a Bottle , her first hit . The translation fits the tune , not vice versa , so Aguilera can still revel in her teenage awakening even without a Spanish equivalent of , `` Ya got ta rub me the right way . '' The song was voted as the 18th best song of 1999 by Pazz & Jop . Commercial performance ( edit ) `` Throughout the summer of 1999 , Christina Aguilera 's `` Genie in a Bottle '' blared from car stereos . The funky pop hit topped the pop charts for weeks , racking up multi-platinum sales . What makes the song 's initial success even more astounding is the fact that it topped the charts weeks before an accompanying music video was made . That such unusual success came about through what could be called a casual act makes the song 's beginning even more awe - inspiring . '' Ed Hogan describing the success of the track . Based on strong airplay and CD sales , `` Genie in a Bottle '' reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 , stayed there for five consecutive weeks and became the biggest summer song of 1999 . At that point , it had the longest stay at number for the entire year , tying Ricky Martin 's `` Livin ' la Vida Loca '' and Jennifer Lopez 's `` If You Had My Love '' , although Carlos Santana would later in the year take the single , `` Smooth '' , to number one on the chart with a ten - week run . The success of `` Genie in a Bottle '' marked the third time that year that a new female artist reached number one on the Hot 100 with her debut single , the first being Britney Spears with `` ... Baby One More Time '' and the second being Lopez with `` If You Had My Love '' . On January 22 , 2000 , Billboard reported that `` Genie in a Bottle '' was the second best - selling single of 1999 , with 1,360,000 units sold , only behind Cher 's `` Believe '' with 1,700,000 copies sold . It also became Aguilera 's best - selling physical single to date . The success and achievement for Spears ' and Aguilera 's debut singles caused a lot of rivalry and comparisons between the two in the media . The song also crossed over successfully to other Billboard charts , topping the Top 40 Mainstream , Top 40 Tracks and Rhythmic Top 40 charts . The song even managed to reach the Adult Top 40 , and the Spanish version of the song , `` Genio Atrapado '' ( English : `` Trapped Genie '' ) , was a modest hit on the Latin chart . Strong sales assured the single a platinum certification . `` Genie in a Bottle '' stayed on Billboard Hot 100 for 25 weeks , and 24 weeks in the United Kingdom . Internationally , a similar chart dominance was seen , as the track went to number one in both the United Kingdom and Canada for multiple weeks . It charted within the top five in every country it charted . Overall , the song is Aguilera 's second - highest charting single , behind `` Lady Marmalade '' , a collaboration with Lil ' Kim , Mýa and Pink . `` Genie in a Bottle '' was certified platinum in Germany for selling over 500,000 units . The single was also certified platinum in Australia for selling over 70,000 units . `` Genie in a Bottle '' was certified platinum in almost every country it was released in , later ending at No. 7 on the Year - End charts in the United States , and No. 7 on the European Year - End charts . Music video ( edit ) The music video was shot in Malibu . The music video accompanying the track was directed by Diane Martel in April 1999 , who had previously worked on Mariah Carey 's `` Dreamlover '' , and was shot in Malibu with surroundings of a beach and a wooden beach house . `` I was out on the sand , greased up in , like , baby oil in shorts and a little cut - off top '' she recalled , during the video , scenes saw her and others surrounding a campfire and despite this Aguilera recalled the video shoot was `` freezing '' with crew members all wearing large coats to keep them warm from the cold which Aguilera was struggling with . In most scenes of the video , Aguilera sings and performs a `` genie '' inspired choreography with her male dancers in front of the beach . As the video advances , the guys ( with Christina 's love interest in there ) join the beach party . Near the end of the video , all the teens go outside and hang out around a bonfire . Analyzing the video , A Star is Made author Pier Dominquez said : `` The lighting of the video prominently featured Christina 's golden tresses as her best feature , although the singer herself was rather obscured by the dark shadows , suggesting that the record company still did not know what to do with the singer 's image . The choreography featured Christina , wearing orange pants and a beaded blouse , with her dance troop behind her , simulating a genie coming out of the bottle . It was filled with symbolism and her dancing was incredible . '' Live performances ( edit ) Two days after this Aguilera performed the track again on the MTV show TRL among other tracks from the self - titled album . The particular day in which she performed the track host Carson Daly was not present and Aguilera publicly declared she had `` missed '' him which led to a media frenzy surrounding a rumored romance between Daly and herself . The following month Aguilera performed on the British television show Top of the Pops and during the same episode that her performance was aired on , Mariah Carey 's performance of her track `` Heartbreaker '' which led Aguilera to announce to the media her appreciation and her willingness to meet the performer . Once again her performance on Top of the Pops had gathered more controversy than she had wished and soon a feud erupted from Carey 's team which critics noted was due to the lack of success stemming from her album Rainbow and the consistent comparisons between the pair . Aguilera also performed at the National Building Museum for the Children 's National Medical Center in the company of president Bill Clinton , later she performed for WFLZ 's Y - 2 concert in Florida with 15,000 fans viewing , wearing a silver top and gem studded jeans with a blue - sequined bandana performing the track on both occasions . It was announced by MTV in 1999 that Aguilera would perform live on their New Year 's Eve Special , wearing `` tight '' leather trousers Aguilera performed the track live as the first song in her set which was then followed by `` What a Girl Wants '' . `` Genie in a Bottle '' was also performed during her 2002 - 03 Justified & Stripped Tour , a concert tour which was held in order to support Aguilera 's album Stripped ( 2002 ) and Justin Timberlake 's Justified ( 2002 ) . The `` Egyptian - turned - metal version '' performance featured Aguilera in her pink straps attached to her outfit rolling on a giant `` X '' , which portrayed her contemporary alter ego `` Xtina '' . It included Middle Eastern keyboards and 80 's hair - metal guitar , where she slowly released herself as a `` genie '' as male dancers danced around her . On November 23 , 2008 , she performed the song while promoting her compilation album Keeps Gettin ' Better : A Decade of Hits , at the 36th Annual American Music Awards . She opened the show with a seven - minute medley of her greatest hits , which also included `` Beautiful '' , `` Keeps Gettin ' Better '' , `` Dirrty '' , `` Ai n't No Other Man '' and `` Fighter '' . Usage in Media ( edit ) In an effort to maintain the `` buzz '' surrounding both the record and Aguilera , RCA set up a guest spot for her to perform the track on the teen - marketed television shows Beverly Hills 90210 . The performance saw Aguilera in a bar performing at a birthday party for a character named David . During the 2014 US Open , the song was used whenever Eugenie Bouchard played on the court , Genie being her nickname . Other versions ( edit ) In 2000 , Aguilera recorded a Spanish version of `` Genie in a Bottle '' entitled `` Genio Atrapado '' for her second studio album , Mi Reflejo . The song 's lyrics were translated from English to Spanish by Cuban - American producer Rudy Pérez . `` Genio Atrapado '' peaked at number 13 on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart . The song received a Latin Grammy Award nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance at the Latin Grammy Awards of 2000 , which was awarded to Shakira for `` Ojos Así '' . A music video for the song was directed by Diane Martel , who also directed the visual for `` Genie in a Bottle '' . In 2008 , Aguilera recorded a remake of `` Genie in a Bottle '' entitled `` Genie 2.0 '' for her first greatest hits album , Keeps Gettin ' Better : A Decade of Hits . `` Genie 2.0 '' is an electropop - oriented song ; a reviewer from Rolling Stone compared the song to works by Lady Gaga . The song was released via the iTunes Store in the United States to promote the album . Nick Butler of Sputnikmusic likened the song 's style to that of The Eurythmics 's `` Sweet Dreams ( Are Made of This ) '' and called it `` awesome '' . To promote Keeps Gettin ' Better , Aguilera performed `` Genie 2.0 '' at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards . The remake debuted at number 161 on the UK Singles Chart . In the fall of 2001 , an unauthorized mashup remix by The Freelance Hellraiser which combined Aguilera 's a cappella vocals with The Strokes ' 2001 song `` Hard to Explain '' was released under the title `` A Stroke of Genius '' , receiving considerable attention and some airplay ; The Guardian described the remix as having `` defined the decade '' as an early example of remix culture . Seizing on this , the band Speedway covered the Aguilera song in 2003 to sound as close to the mashup as possible , and as a result it became their first single as a double A-side , with another song , `` Save Yourself '' , reaching # 10 in the UK Singles Chart . In 2016 , Dove Cameron covered `` Genie in a Bottle '' with cleaner lyrics for the Disney Channel short series Descendants : Wicked World . It has over 143 million plays on VEVO . In 2017 , after her departure from Fifth Harmony , Camila Cabello released her debut single `` Crying in the Club '' , which samples `` Genie in a Bottle '' . Legacy ( edit ) `` Genie in a Bottle '' has been widely regarded as one of Aguilera 's signature songs . This song gained her mainstream success and credibility among music critics . It is also credited for redefining the sound of late 1990s music . Rolling Stone says about Aguilera , `` Even in her teen - pop `` Genie in a Bottle '' days , she was modeling her dramatic , melismatic technique on old - school soul heroines like Etta James `` . It was ranked fifth on Rolling Stone 's list of the biggest 1990s summer songs . It was also ranked # 38th on VH1 's 100 Greatest Songs of the ' 90s . `` Genie in a Bottle '' is regarded as one of the most iconic songs of the ' 90s decade and has been included on many favorites lists .

It is a small network appliance and entertainment device that can receive digital data from a number of sources and stream it to a capable television . Apple TV is an HDMI - compliant source device . To use it for viewing , it has to be connected to an enhanced - definition or high - definition widescreen television via an HDMI cable . The device has no integrated controls and can only be controlled externally , either by an Apple Remote control device ( with which it is sold ) using its infrared / Bluetooth capability , by the Apple TV Remote app ( downloadable from App Store ) on iOS devices , such as the iPhone , iPod Touch , iPad , and Apple Watch , using its Wi - Fi capability , or by some third - party infrared remotes . Its Wi - Fi capability is also used to receive digital content from various iOS apps using AirPlay or directly from the iTunes Store , which is then streamed to the TV . It also plays digital content from the iTunes Store , Netflix , Hulu , Now TV ( UK only ) , SlingTV , PlayStation Vue , Amazon Prime Video , DirecTV , YouTube , and Vevo along with HBO Now , Showtime Anytime , Starz , and the TV Everywhere portals of several cable and broadcast networks , and the video subscription portals of three of the four major North American sports leagues : MLB.tv , NBA League Pass , and NHL.tv . It plays content from any macOS or Windows computer running iTunes . Apple began to promote the Live Tune - In feature that allows the viewer to ask Siri to tune to live streams of CBS , ESPN , and Disney XD among many others that support Live Tune - In .

Apple started taking pre-orders for Apple TV on January 9 , 2007 . The name `` iTV '' was originally going to be used to keep it in line with the rest of their `` i '' - based products ( iMac , iPod , etc . ) , but was not used because the British terrestrial broadcast network ITV holds the rights to the name in the UK and threatened to take legal action against Apple . Apple TV started shipping on March 21 , 2007 with a 40 GB hard disk . Apple released a 160 GB HDD model on May 31 , 2007 ; and ceased selling the 40 GB HDD version on September 14 , 2009 . On January 15 , 2008 , a major and free software upgrade was announced ; this turned the Apple TV into a stand - alone device that no longer required a computer running iTunes on Mac OS X or Windows to stream or sync content to it , and making most of the Apple TV 's hard disk redundant . The update allowed the device to rent and purchase content directly from iTunes Store , as well as download podcasts and stream photos from MobileMe ( which was called . Mac at the time ) and Flickr . This update did away with Front Row and introduced a new interface for the original Apple TV in which content was organized into six categories , all of which appeared in a large square box on the screen upon startup ( movies , TV shows , music , YouTube , podcasts , and photos ) and presented in the initial menu , along with a `` Settings '' option for configuration , including software updates . On July 10 , 2008 , Apple released the iTunes Remote app on the App Store , and the Apple TV 2.1 software update that added recognition for the iPhone and iPod Touch as remote control devices intended as a software alternative to the Apple Remote . Later updates to the Apple TV , iTunes , and Remote software added support for the iPad , and introduced support for new features as they were added to iTunes . In July 2011 , Apple discontinued the Front Row interface for Mac users , leaving subsequent Apple TVs as the only officially - supported 10 - foot user interface from Apple . On September 9 , 2015 , Apple officially classified the first generation Apple TV as being obsolete / vintage which means that owners of first generation Apple TV will no longer be able to get service after this date . In September 2017 , with the release of iTunes 12.7 , it is no longer possible to sync and stream with the first generation Apple TV , although it is not listed in the iTunes update release notes . Beginning May 25 , 2018 , security changes will prevent Apple TV ( 1st generation ) from using the iTunes Store . This device is an obsolete Apple product and will not be updated to support these security changes . 2nd and 3rd generation History ( edit ) The second generation Apple TV was unveiled on September 1 , 2010 , and was the first to run on a variant of iOS . The device was now housed in a smaller , all - black case , one - quarter the size of the original . The new model did away with an internal hard drive and had 8 GB internal flash storage , enough local storage for buffering purposes ; all media was now streamed , instead of synced . The new device could also stream rented content from iTunes and video from computers or iOS devices via AirPlay . All content is drawn from online or locally connected sources . In the March 7 , 2012 presentation that mainly dealt with the third generation iPad , Apple CEO Tim Cook announced a third version of the Apple TV . The third generation Apple TV is externally identical to the second generation model and includes a single - core A5 processor . It also supports 1080p content from iTunes and Netflix . On January 28 , 2013 , Apple silently released a third generation `` Rev A '' which included component changes . On March 9 , 2015 , Apple reduced the price of the 3rd generation ( Rev A ) Apple TV to $69 . On October 4 , 2016 , 9to5Mac reported that Apple had phased out the Apple TV 3rd generation , with Apple Store employees instructed to pull all units and demo units from store shelves . Shortly afterwards , Apple took down the purchase page for the Apple TV 3rd generation from its website , with the link redirecting to the purchase page for the Apple TV 4th generation . Amazon Video was automatically added to 3rd generation Apple TVs running 7.2. 2 on December 6 , 2017 . 4th and 5th generation History ( edit ) On September 9 , 2015 , Apple announced the 4th generation Apple TV , to ship in October 2015 . It is the first major update to the platform since the release of the 2nd generation Apple TV on September 1 , 2010 . Tim Cook took the stage and said `` The future of TV is apps '' . He also stated that the Apple TV needed a modern OS . While matching the form factor of the 2nd and 3rd generation models , it is significantly taller . The 4th generation Apple TV features a new touch remote allowing swipe - to - select functionality instead of the old remote 's arrow button , and integrated Siri support with a built - in microphone and an accelerometer ( IMU ) . The Siri button on the remote allows several functions , including searching across providers for content , accessing additional metadata and video / audio controls . The 4th generation also uses a new operating system , tvOS , with an associated app store , allowing download of third - party apps for video , audio , games and other content . Upon release , the third - party apps were available from a limited range of providers , with new APIs providing opportunities for more third - party apps to be released in the future . A requirement of new apps and games is that they must include interfacing with the new touchpad - enabled Siri remote . Apple 's senior vice president of Software Engineering Craig Federighi said that tvOS 9 is 95 percent based on iOS 9 with the interface and APIs being tweaked to support the big screen . Upon launch , there were several unexpected issues which included incompatibility with Apple 's Remote app for iOS and watchOS , which were fixed by Apple in December 2015 . As Amazon 's Fire TV competes directly with the Apple TV , Amazon initially declined to develop an Amazon Video application for the Apple TV and declined to sell the 4th generation Apple TV , along with removing all 3rd generation SKUs in late October 2015 . Amazon reversed their stance and released their app in late 2017 , and has stated that the Apple TV will be sold on Amazon as well . On September 13 , 2016 , Apple released the tvOS 10 software update for the Apple TV , bringing an all new remote app , single - sign on , dark mode , HomeKit support , and many more features to the 4th generation Apple TV . On September 12 , 2017 , Apple announced the 5th generation Apple TV , named Apple TV 4K , which supports 2160p output , HDR10 , Dolby Vision , and includes a faster Apple A10X Fusion processor . Externally it is similar to the 4th generation model , with the only differences being the addition of vents on the base , the removal of the USB - C port , and the addition of a white outline around the menu button on the included Siri Remote . Following the announcement of the new models , the 64 GB version of the 4th generation Apple TV was discontinued . Features ( edit ) Apple TV allows consumers to use an HDTV to stream video , music , and podcasts as well as downloading apps and games from the tvOS App Store . The first , second , and third generations offered limited content which Apple had provisioned to work with Apple TV . These have now been discontinued in favor of the fourth generation Apple TV , with an OS based on iOS called tvOS which lets developers create their own apps with their own interface that run on Apple TV . These include multimedia , music apps , and games . Features of Apple TV include : Video Streaming The primary function of Apple TV is streaming video through the internet . Users of Apple TV can rent or buy movies and TV shows from the iTunes Store , or stream video from a variety of services found in the tvOS App Store such as Netflix , Amazon Prime Video , Hulu , YouTube , Vimeo , HBO Now , Showtime , Sling TV , and DirecTV Now . Users can stream live and on - demand content from apps that support login through a cable provider by way of one universal app called TV . TV unifies all content into one central application that allows the user to watch whatever they want from any source while providing recommendations . These include ABC , NBC , CBS , NBA , NFL , NHL , WatchESPN , History Channel , Food Network , CNN , Fox News , HGTV , Disney , National Geographic , and many others . The upcoming single - sign on feature in tvOS 10.1 will allow users to log in to all of these apps at once , bypassing the need to authenticate each individually . Music and Podcasts Streaming Users can access their music and podcasts libraries that they purchased in iTunes through iCloud through the Music and Podcasts apps , respectively . In addition , users can also subscribe to music streaming services such as Apple Music , Pandora , Qello , and Vevo and access content that way . Photos The built in Photos app syncs user photos from iCloud Photo Library and displays them on TV . In addition , users can download third - party apps like Adobe Lightroom to view , edit and share them . Apps and Games With the fourth generation Apple TV and later , users can download apps and games from the tvOS App Store . This app store is similar to the one found on the Apple iPhone and iPad . Apps can now be ported from iOS easily by developers since tvOS and iOS share a common codebase and kernel . Examples include the Papa John 's Pizza app which allows for users to order pizza right from Apple TV and Zillow which allows users to search for homes right on their TV . Games use the Accelerometer and Gyroscope along with the touchpad found on the Siri Remote for control . External Bluetooth Game controllers : ( such as the SteelSeries Nimbus , or the HORIPAD ULTIMATE Wireless Gaming Controller ) can also be paired . Examples include Asphalt 8 , a driving game which can be played using the Siri Remote . Casting and Mirroring With AirPlay , users can stream or mirror content from your iOS device or Mac wirelessly . AirPlay can be accessed by swiping up from the bottom of the screen in Control Center on iOS or in the Menu Bar on a Mac . There are several different functions to AirPlay . These include : Casting which allows users to wirelessly send video or audio from their iPhone , iPad , or Mac to the Apple TV Mirroring which allows users to wirelessly mirror their Mac screen or AirPlay device which to the TV , using it as a second monitor . Peer - to - Peer AirPlay which uses Bluetooth to connect if the Apple TV and the iOS Device / Mac are not on the same Wi - Fi network . Siri Siri is a voice assistant on tvOS that allows a user to check the weather , stocks , sports scores , as well as searching for content across a multitude of different applications . Voice dictation can also be used in text fields , including usernames and passwords . Universal search is available for a wide number of apps in the United States , but the feature is limited to iTunes and Netflix in Canada , France , Germany , and the United Kingdom . In Australia , universal search supports movies and TV shows in iTunes , Netflix , and Stan . Apple has been rapidly expanding the feature to encompass additional channels worldwide . HomeKit The third generation Apple TV and later can also be used as a home hub to control all of the HomeKit devices , such as locks , thermostats , or garage doors , in one 's home , either locally or over the Internet . However , HomeKit Automation , such as automatic implementation of scenes , is only possible with a fourth generation Apple TV or later . A user can use Siri on Apple TV ( 4th generation or later ) to control the devices . General HDMI CEC to control other devices in a user 's home theater setup . App Switcher which enables users to switch apps Aerial Screensaver which allows the TV to display a flyover view of a city when Apple TV is inactive . Screensavers can also be invoked from the home screen by pressing menu on the Siri Remote once . App Store ( edit ) With the fourth generation Apple TV and tvOS , Apple announced an App Store which will allow any developer to make apps using the APIs available specifically tailored towards the TV . Also , since tvOS is based on iOS , any developer can port over apps from iOS and with a few modifications , as Apple stated on stage , and can make them available for all tvOS users with the App Store . The App Store will not be available to previous Apple TVs and will be a feature of the fourth generation Apple TV onward . Accessibility ( edit ) Since tvOS and watchOS are based on iOS , they have inherited many of the accessibility features of iOS and macOS and are compatible with Apple 's entire product line including the Apple Watch as a remote controller for the Apple TV . tvOS includes the Apple technologies of VoiceOver , Zoom , and Siri to help the blind and those with low vision . VoiceOver , Apple 's screen reader is available for more than 30 languages and enables visually impaired users to know what is on the visual display and input responses to on - screen prompts . VoiceOver gestures uses gestures that Apple users are already familiar with in other Apple products ( flicks , taps , and the rotor ) making the Apple TV familiar to the disabled in a way akin to how Apple designs their products to have a fit and finish consistency across product lines be it familiarity with macOS on a Macintosh , watchOS on an Apple Watch , or the iOS operating system on iPhones , iPads , or iPods . Like other Apple products such as the iPhone with a three click sequence on the home button to activate accessibility features , with Apple TV 's tvOS , the disabled user can activate VoiceOver without any installation process . One needs only to triple - click the Menu button on the Siri Remote and the Apple TV will guide the user through the complete initial setup , a task that is non-trivial to the visually impaired in most comparable products on the market . Another accessibility feature is to increase contrast on the screen which acts by reducing the transparency of background elements on Movie and TV Show pages , menu tabs , and other parts of the operating system . The visually impaired can also turn on a high - contrast cursor to better delineate the focused content . The user can also opt to turn on `` reduce motion '' which in some screen actions , such as moving between app icons on the Home screen and launching apps are visually simpler which is of benefit to reduce strain on the eyes . tvOS enables users to watch movies with audio descriptions of what is being shown on the screen . Movies with audio descriptions are displayed with the AD ( Audio Description ) icon in the iTunes Store for tvOS and in iTunes on a Macintosh or Windows PC . Pairing a Bluetooth keyboard with the tvOS on the Apple TV enables another accessibility feature that also is an incorporation of VoiceOver . When typing , VoiceOver mirrors with an audio voice , each character pressed on the keyboard and repeated again when it is entered . The Apple TV is designed to work with the Apple Wireless Keyboard or the Apple Magic Keyboard . It will work with almost any brand of bluetooth keyboard . Apple TV with and without tvOS supports closed captioning , so the deaf or hard of hearing can experience TV episodes and feature - length movies . Compatible episodes and movies are denoted with a CC ( closed captioning ) or SDH ( Descriptive Audio ) icon in the iTunes Store either on the Apple TV or in iTunes itself . The viewer can customize the captions in episodes or movies with styles and fonts that are more conducive to their hearing and / or visual impairment . The Touch surface on the Siri Remote is customizable . Tracking when setting to Fast adjusts the thumb movements made to amplify the distance in relation to how far the thumb has moved on the glass touchpad . Conversely when tracking is set to slow , larger movements of the thumb on the touchpad will tune down the distance that is traversed on the screen . This can be of great help to those struggling with Parkinson 's or other movement disorders to be able to use the Apple TV in a way that fits their disability . Apple 's Remote app on iOS devices allows control of the Apple TV from an iPhone , iPad or iPod Touch . The iOS remote app increases the accessibility of the Apple TV by enabling Switch Control . Switch Control is a unique Apple technology that enables navigation sequentially through onscreen items and perform specific actions such as selecting , tapping , dragging , typing using third party Bluetooth - enabled switch hardware made for those with handicaps . Restrictions ( edit ) Similar to Google 's redesign of YouTube , Apple has restricted access to most viewed charts on movies and podcasts . They are replaced by `` Top Movies '' , `` Top Podcasts '' , and `` Editor 's Picks '' . User may be under the impression that a `` Top '' media is equivalent of most popular or most watched . Parental controls allow consumers to limit access to Internet media service content via `` Restrictions '' settings ; individual services can be turned off ( e.g. , to reduce clutter ) , icons can be rearranged via the tap - and - hold technique à la iOS . Internet media is split into four categories : `` Internet Photos '' , `` YouTube '' , `` Podcasts '' , and `` Purchase and Rental '' . Each of the categories is configured by a parental control of `` Show '' , `` Hide '' or `` Ask '' to prompt for a 4 - digit PIN . In addition , movies , TV shows , music and podcasts can be restricted by rating . Local sources ( edit ) Apple TV can sync or stream photos , music and videos from a computer running iTunes . A user can connect a computer on a local network to maintain a central home media library of digitized CD , DVD or HD content , provide direct connectivity to photo organization software such as iPhoto , limit home video access to a local network only , play Internet radio , or preload content on Apple TV to be used later as a non-networked video player . For users who wish to connect the Apple TV to a computer , synchronization and streaming modes are supported . Apple TV in synchronization mode works in a way similar to the iPod . It is paired with an iTunes library on a single computer and can synchronize with that library , copying all or selected content to its own storage . Apple TV need not remain connected to the network after syncing . Photos can be synced from iPhoto , Aperture , or from a folder on a Mac , or Adobe Photoshop Album , Photoshop Elements , or from a hard disk folder in Windows . Apple TV can also function as a peer - to - peer digital media player , streaming content from iTunes libraries and playing the content over the network . 1st generation Apple TVs can stream content from up to five computers or iTunes libraries . Also , five Apple TVs can be linked to the same iTunes library . The 2nd generation Apple TV onwards allows users to stream content from more than one iTunes library : these additional iTunes libraries can be on the same or on different computers . This is possible when Apple TV and every iTunes library from which you want to stream content meet all of the following conditions : ( 1 ) the Apple TV and the iTunes library you are streaming from are both on the same local network , ( 2 ) each uses the iTunes `` Home Sharing '' feature , and ( 3 ) each are using the same `` Home Sharing '' Apple ID . Supported formats ( edit ) Apple TV natively supports the following audio , video , and picture formats ( although with the 4th generation , apps may use alternative built - in software in order to play other codecs and formats , e.g. VLC media player ) : Video HEVC Dolby Vision ( Profile 5 ) / HDR10 ( Main 10 profile ) up to 2160p at 60 frames per second ( 5th generation ) HEVC SDR up to 1080p at 30 frames per second ( 4th generation ) Main / Main 10 profile , hardware decoding on 5th generation , software decoding on 4th generation running tvOS 11 and later .

A sustained 8 Mbit / s or faster Internet connection is recommended for viewing 1080p HD movies and TV shows , 6 Mbit / s or faster for viewing 720p content , and 2.5 Mbit / s or faster for SD content . Attempts to sync unsupported content to Apple TV will draw an error message from iTunes . The 1st and 2nd generation Apple TV video output can be set to either 1080i or 1080p ; however , this resolution is limited to the user interface and the viewing of photographs -- all other content is simply upscaled to those resolutions . Those models can not play 1080i or 1080p video content ( e.g. , HD camera video ) . The 3rd and 4th generation Apple TV support 1080p video content . Apple offers H. 264 1080p movies and video podcasts on iTunes . In comparison , Blu - ray Disc films are 1080p H. 264 or VC - 1 video encoded at rates of up to 40 Mbit / s . Apple TV 's audio chip supports 7.1 surround sound , and some high definition rentals from iTunes are offered with Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound . There is an Apple TV export option in QuickTime which allows content in some formats that the device does not support to be easily re-encoded . Applications that use QuickTime to export media can use this ; e.g. , iMovie 's Share menu , iTunes ' advanced menu , and some third - party content conversion tools . Connectivity ( edit ) Back of 1st generation Apple TV Back of 2nd & 3rd generation Apple TV Apple TV streams video through an HDMI cable ( Type A ) connected to the TV 's HDMI port . Audio is supported through the optical or HDMI ports . The device also has a Micro-USB port , which is reserved for service and diagnostics . The device connects through Ethernet or Wi - Fi to the computer for digital content from the Internet and local networks . Apple TV does not come with audio , video or other cables , which must be acquired additionally as required . On the previous Apple TV , media files could be transferred directly onto the device by syncing with another computer . Once content was stored on the device 's hard drive , Internet connectivity was no longer needed to view content . This is not the case with the current model , which does not have a hard drive for storing media . The 1st generation Apple TV had component video and RCA connector audio ports , both removed in the 2nd generation . The device does not have RCA / composite video or F / RF connectors . Starting with the 4th generation Apple TV , Apple removed the optical audio port . Apple also enhanced the HDMI port by adding support for HDMI 1.4 . The 4th generation also removed the Micro-USB port in favor of the reversible USB - C port and the 5th generation removed USB entirely . AirPlay ( edit ) Main article : AirPlay AirPlay allows iOS devices or an AirPort - enabled computer with the iTunes music player to send a stream of music to multiple ( three to six , in typical conditions ) stereos connected to an AirPort Express ( the audio - only antecedent of Apple TV ) or Apple TV . The AirPort Express ' streaming media capabilities use Apple 's Remote Audio Output Protocol ( RAOP ) , a proprietary variant of RTSP / RTP . Using WDS - bridging , the AirPort Express can allow AirPlay functionality ( as well as Internet access , file and print sharing , etc . ) across a larger distance in a mixed environment of wired and up to 10 wireless clients . Speakers attached to an AirPort Express or Apple TV can be selected from within the `` Remote '' iPhone / iPod Touch program , allowing full AirPlay compatibility ( see `` Remote control '' section below ) . A compatible Mac running OS X Mountain Lion or later can wirelessly mirror its screen to an Apple TV through AirPlay Mirroring while one running OS X Mavericks or later can also extend its display with AirPlay Display . Remote control ( edit ) Apple TV can be controlled by many infrared remote controls or paired with the included Apple Remote to prevent interference from other remotes . Either kind of remote can control playback volume , but for music only . The Apple Wireless Keyboard is supported on the 2nd generation Apple TV and later using the built - in Bluetooth . The consumer has the ability to control media playback , navigate menus and input text and other information . Third - party keyboards that use the Apple layout may also be compatible . On July 10 , 2008 , Apple released Remote , a free iOS application that allows the iPhone , iPod Touch , and iPad to control the iTunes library on the Apple TV via Wi - Fi . The recently released Apple Watch also has a remote app to control Apple TV . The Remote App was updated on September 13 , 2016 , to take advantage of all the features of the Apple TV 4 . This includes Siri , Touchpad , and Home Buttons , along with a now playing screen . The Apple Siri Remote is included with the fourth generation Apple TV and later , as well as being sold by itself . On September 9 , 2015 , Apple announced the new Siri Remote for the 4th generation Apple TV ( although in some territories , Apple have kept the name Apple TV Remote , due to Siri functionality not being enabled on it in that territory ) . It is a completely redesigned remote that features dual microphones for Siri support and a glass touch surface for navigation around the interface by swiping or tapping and scrubbing to fast forward or rewind . Also , it has a menu and home button , a Siri button to invoke Siri , a Play / Pause button , and a Volume Up / Down button to control the volume on the TV . The Siri Remote will communicate with the Apple TV via Bluetooth rather than infrared , and thus does n't require a line - of - sight with the device . This new remote is only supported by the 4th generation Apple TV and later and will not work with earlier generations . Siri ( edit ) Beginning with the 4th generation Apple TV , the remote includes two microphones and a button to activate Siri . Siri on the Apple TV has all of the functions of Siri on iOS 9 ; it can also respond to requests specifically for the TV . For instance , the viewer can ask Siri to search for a TV show or movie and it will search across multiple different sources to tell the user where the content is available to watch . It can also do things such as Play / Pause , Rewind / Fast Forward , skip back 15 seconds and temporarily turn on captioning when asked `` what did he say ? '' or `` what did she say ? '' , open a specific app , and more . Software ( edit ) 1st generation ( edit ) The original Apple TV ran a modified build of Mac OS X v10. 4 Tiger Apple TV software 10 ( edit ) Apple TV software 1.0 presented the user with an interface similar to that of Front Row . Like Front Row on the Mac , it presents the user with seven options for consuming content . Movies , TV Shows , Music , Podcasts , Photos , Settings , and Sources . Apple TV software 20 ( edit ) In February 2008 , Apple released a major and free upgrade to the Apple TV , labelled `` Take Two '' ( 2.0 ) . This update did away with Front Row and introduced a new interface in which content was organized into six categories , all of which appeared in a large square box on the screen upon startup ( movies , TV shows , music , YouTube , podcasts , and photos ) and presented in the initial menu , along with a `` Settings '' option for configuration , including software updates . Apple TV software 30 ( edit ) In October 2009 , Apple released a minor upgrade for the Apple TV called `` Apple TV Software 3.0 '' . This update replaced the interface in version 2.0 with a new interface which presented seven horizontal columns across the top of the screen for the different categories of content ( Movies , TV Shows , Music , Podcasts , Photos , Internet , and Settings ) . This update also added features such as content filtering , iTunes Extras , new fonts , and a new Internet radio app . The maximum resolution increased in both the 40 GB and 160 GB version to include 1080P . 2nd and 3rd generation ( edit ) See also : tvOS § Version history The user interface used in the third generation Apple TV series featured a rounded rectangle tile interface . The 2nd and 3rd generation Apple TVs run a version of iOS , rather than the modified Mac OS X of the original model . The interface on Apple TV Software 4 is similar to that of previous versions , with only minor changes and feature additions throughout . In March 2012 , Apple released a major new software update , with the Apple TV 3rd generation , labeled as Apple TV Software 5 ( iOS 5.1 ) , which shipped with the new 3rd generation Apple TV . This update completely revised the look of the home screen to make it resemble the icon grid seen on iOS . Instead of 7 columns , content and third - party channels are shown in a tiled grid format , which can be rearranged . Throughout the years , for Apple TV Software 5 - 6 , Apple released minor revisions , content additions , and feature updates . The Apple TV Software 7.0 features a flat look similar to iOS 7 and OS X Yosemite and adds features such as Peer - To - Peer AirPlay . Version 8.0 was skipped . The final OS update for the third - generation Apple TV is Apple TV Software 7.2. 2 ( iOS 8.4. 2 ) since it does not support tvOS 9.0 or later . However , it does support Amazon Video , which was automatically added to those Apple TVs running 7.2. 2 on December 6 , 2017 . 4th and 5th generation ( edit ) See also : tvOS The fourth generation Apple TV and later run an operating system called tvOS which does not support the earlier generations of Apple TV . It features an app store , allowing third - party app developers to release their own apps on the platform . Also , this new software features support for Siri voice control . Craig Federighi mentioned that tvOS is based 95 % on iOS 9 and the rest being adaptions to optimize it for the TV . The tvOS software development kit ( SDK ) for developing tvOS apps is included in Xcode 7.1 and later . A new development feature , App Thinning , is used in the Apple TV , running on tvOS , due to the storage restrictions of the device ( 32GB and 64GB ) and the dual - use of the NAND Flash Memory to precache movies from Apple 's content servers as well as storage for downloaded applications from the tvOS App Store . Apple 's aim is to limit the size of application downloads and steering users towards downloading individual segments of apps in order to better manage storage space . Developers have reacted with criticism towards the download size limits , arguing that it leads to situations where game data is purged and has to be re-downloaded .

Both capabilities can be applied to the connected home computer through various third - party products , such as allowing PVR software to connect to iTunes and enable scheduled HDTV recordings to play automatically via Apple TV for playback . The Front Row interface lacks some iTunes functionality , including rating items , checking the account balance , adding funds to the account , synchronizing from more than one computer , full Internet radio support , and games . The Movies search box only searches the iTunes Store , not local hard drives and networks . Movies rented on Apple TV must be watched on Apple TV , unlike iTunes rentals , which can be transferred to any video - enabled iPod , iPhone , or Apple TV . Movies purchased on Apple TV can be moved to a video - enabled iPod or iPhone via iTunes . Apple TV prior to 4th generation does not support the HDMI Consumer Electronics Control ( HDMI CEC ) protocol . On the Apple TV ( 2nd generation ) , digital output audio is up - sampled to 48 kHz , including lossless CD rips at 44.1 kHz . Although this is a higher frequency and the difference is not audible in most cases , it means the audio is not ' bit perfect ' which is often a goal for digital transmission of data . Sales ( edit ) 1st generation sales ( edit ) Within the first week of presales in January 2007 , Apple TV was the top pre-selling item at the Apple Store . Orders exceeded 100,000 units by the end of January and Apple began ramping - up to sell over a million units before the 2007 holiday season . Analysts began calling it a `` DVD killer '' that could enable multiple services . Analysts also predicted that Apple could sell up to 1.5 million units in the first year . Besides the Apple Store , Best Buy was one of the first retailers to carry the device ; Target and Costco followed shortly thereafter . Two months into sales , Forrester Research predicted that Apple would only sell a million Apple TV units , because consumers prefer advertisement - supported content over paid content . Forrester predicted that cable companies would be the clear winners over content providers such as the iTunes Store . Shortly after , Apple released YouTube functionality and Jobs stated that Apple TV was a `` DVD player for the Internet '' . Some market analysts predicted that YouTube on Apple TV `` provides a glimpse of this product 's potential and its future evolution '' , but overall , analysts had mixed reactions regarding the future of Apple TV . Some negative reactions followed after Jobs referred to the device as a `` hobby '' , implying it was less significant than the Macintosh , iPod , and iPhone . In the fourth quarter of 2008 , sales were triple that of the fourth quarter of 2007 . In Apple 's first - quarter 2009 financial results conference call , acting chief executive Tim Cook stated that Apple TV sales increased three times over the same quarter a year ago . Cook mentioned that the movie rental business was working well for Apple , Apple would continue investment in movie rentals and Apple TV , but Apple TV is still considered a hobby for the company . Due to the growth of digital TV and consumers turning to Internet media services , an analyst predicted sales of 6.6 million Apple TVs by the end of 2009 . 2nd generation sales ( edit ) The second generation sold 250,000 units in the first two weeks it was available . On December 21 , 2010 , Apple announced that they had sold 1 million units . In the second fiscal quarter of 2011 , it had topped 2 million in total sales , with 820,000 sold in that quarter alone . On January 24 , 2012 , Apple announced they had sold 1.4 million units in the first fiscal quarter of 2012 , and 2.8 million units in all of fiscal year 2011 . ( 4.2 million units through January 1 , 2012 ) . 3rd generation sales ( edit ) Tim Cook revealed at the All Things Digital conference in May 2012 that Apple had sold 2.7 million of the 3rd generation model in 2012 . In the Q4 FY2012 earnings call , Engadget reported comments from Tim Cook that Apple had shipped 1.3 million Apple TV units in the 4th Quarter ( presumed to be 3rd generation ) . MacObserver reported statements by Tim Cook in the Q1 FY2013 earnings call that Apple sold over 2 million Apple TV units in the December Quarter ( presumed to be 3rd generation ) . These reports lead to a cumulative volume of the 3rd generation device of 6 million units , as of January 1 , 2013 . On February 28 , 2014 , at Apple 's shareholders meeting , Apple CEO Tim Cook revealed that in 2013 Apple TV brought in 1 billion dollars of revenue for Apple . A market survey published by Parks Associates in December 2014 found that Apple TV has lost consumer traction to Google Chromecast , garnering only a 17 % market share . Tim Cook revealed at the Apple Watch conference on March 9 , 2015 , that Apple had sold a total of 25 million Apple TVs to date . 4th generation sales ( edit ) In the January 27 , 2016 , Apple earnings call , CEO Tim Cook stated that the Apple TV had record sales . However , no specific sales figures were mentioned ; Apple TV is included in an `` Other products '' category , which also includes the Apple Watch , iPods , and Beats products , and is not broken down by individual products .

"On September 9, 2015, Apple announced the 4th generation Apple TV, to ship in October 2015. It is the first major update to the platform since the release of the 2nd generation Apple TV on September 1, 2010. Tim Cook took the stage and said \"The future of TV is apps\". He also stated that the Apple TV needed a modern OS. While matching the form factor of the 2nd and 3rd generation models, it is significantly taller. The 4th generation Apple TV features a new touch remote allowing swipe-to-select functionality instead of the old remote's arrow button, and integrated Siri support with a built-in microphone and an accelerometer (IMU). The Siri button on the remote allows several functions, including searching across providers for content, accessing additional metadata and video/audio controls."

2742798173548333513 | Colosseum | Colosseum - wikipedia Colosseum amphitheatre in Rome For other uses , see Colosseum ( disambiguation ) . Colosseum Location Regio IV Templum Pacis ( `` Temple of Peace '' ) Built in 70 -- 80 AD Built by / for Vespasian , Titus Type of structure Amphitheatre Related List of ancient monuments in Rome The Colosseum The Colosseum or Coliseum ( / kɒləˈsiːəm / kol - ə - SEE - əm ) , also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre ( Latin : Amphitheatrum Flavium ; Italian : Anfiteatro Flavio ( aŋfiteˈaːtro ˈflaːvjo ) or Colosseo ( kolosˈsɛːo ) ) , is an oval amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome , Italy . Built of travertine , tuff , and brick - faced concrete , it is the largest amphitheatre ever built . The Colosseum is situated just east of the Roman Forum . Construction began under the emperor Vespasian in AD 72 , and was completed in AD 80 under his successor and heir Titus . Further modifications were made during the reign of Domitian ( 81 -- 96 ) . These three emperors are known as the Flavian dynasty , and the amphitheatre was named in Latin for its association with their family name ( Flavius ) . The Colosseum could hold , it is estimated , between 50,000 and 80,000 spectators , having an average audience of some 65,000 ; it was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles such as mock sea battles ( for only a short time as the hypogeum was soon filled in with mechanisms to support the other activities ) , animal hunts , executions , re-enactments of famous battles , and dramas based on Classical mythology . The building ceased to be used for entertainment in the early medieval era . It was later reused for such purposes as housing , workshops , quarters for a religious order , a fortress , a quarry , and a Christian shrine . Although partially ruined because of damage caused by earthquakes and stone - robbers , the Colosseum is still an iconic symbol of Imperial Rome and is listed as one of the New7Wonders of the World . It is one of Rome 's most popular tourist attractions and also has links to the Roman Catholic Church , as each Good Friday the Pope leads a torchlit `` Way of the Cross '' procession that starts in the area around the Colosseum . The Colosseum is also depicted on the Italian version of the five - cent euro coin . The Colosseum The Colosseum 's original Latin name was Amphitheatrum Flavium , often anglicized as Flavian Amphitheatre . The building was constructed by emperors of the Flavian dynasty , following the reign of Nero . This name is still used in modern English , but generally the structure is better known as the Colosseum . In antiquity , Romans may have referred to the Colosseum by the unofficial name Amphitheatrum Caesareum ( with Caesareum an adjective pertaining to the title Caesar ) , but this name may have been strictly poetic as it was not exclusive to the Colosseum ; Vespasian and Titus , builders of the Colosseum , also constructed an amphitheater of the same name in Puteoli ( modern Pozzuoli ) . The name Colosseum has long been believed to be derived from a colossal statue of Nero nearby ( the statue of Nero was named after the Colossus of Rhodes ) . This statue was later remodeled by Nero 's successors into the likeness of Helios ( Sol ) or Apollo , the sun god , by adding the appropriate solar crown . Nero 's head was also replaced several times with the heads of succeeding emperors . Despite its pagan links , the statue remained standing well into the medieval era and was credited with magical powers . It came to be seen as an iconic symbol of the permanence of Rome . In the 8th century , a famous epigram attributed to the Venerable Bede celebrated the symbolic significance of the statue in a prophecy that is variously quoted : Quamdiu stat Colisæus , stat et Roma ; quando cadet colisæus , cadet et Roma ; quando cadet Roma , cadet et mundus ( `` as long as the Colossus stands , so shall Rome ; when the Colossus falls , Rome shall fall ; when Rome falls , so falls the world '' ) . This is often mistranslated to refer to the Colosseum rather than the Colossus ( as in , for instance , Byron 's poem Childe Harold 's Pilgrimage ) . However , at the time that the Pseudo-Bede wrote , the masculine noun coliseus was applied to the statue rather than to what was still known as the Flavian amphitheatre . The Colossus did eventually fall , possibly being pulled down to reuse its bronze . By the year 1000 the name `` Colosseum '' had been coined to refer to the amphitheatre . The statue itself was largely forgotten and only its base survives , situated between the Colosseum and the nearby Temple of Venus and Roma . The name further evolved to Coliseum during the Middle Ages . In Italy , the amphitheatre is still known as il Colosseo , and other Romance languages have come to use similar forms such as Coloseumul ( Romanian ) , le Colisée ( French ) , el Coliseo ( Spanish ) and o Coliseu ( Portuguese ) .

A map of central Rome during the Roman Empire , with the Colosseum at the upper right corner The site chosen was a flat area on the floor of a low valley between the Caelian , Esquiline and Palatine Hills , through which a canalised stream ran . By the 2nd century BC the area was densely inhabited . It was devastated by the Great Fire of Rome in AD 64 , following which Nero seized much of the area to add to his personal domain . He built the grandiose Domus Aurea on the site , in front of which he created an artificial lake surrounded by pavilions , gardens and porticoes . The existing Aqua Claudia aqueduct was extended to supply water to the area and the gigantic bronze Colossus of Nero was set up nearby at the entrance to the Domus Aurea . Cross-section from the Lexikon der gesamten Technik ( 1904 ) Although the Colossus was preserved , much of the Domus Aurea was torn down . The lake was filled in and the land reused as the location for the new Flavian Amphitheatre . Gladiatorial schools and other support buildings were constructed nearby within the former grounds of the Domus Aurea . Vespasian 's decision to build the Colosseum on the site of Nero 's lake can be seen as a populist gesture of returning to the people an area of the city which Nero had appropriated for his own use . In contrast to many other amphitheatres , which were located on the outskirts of a city , the Colosseum was constructed in the city centre ; in effect , placing it both symbolically and precisely at the heart of Rome . Construction was funded by the opulent spoils taken from the Jewish Temple after the Great Jewish Revolt in 70 AD led to the Siege of Jerusalem . According to a reconstructed inscription found on the site , `` the emperor Vespasian ordered this new amphitheatre to be erected from his general 's share of the booty . '' Along with the spoils , estimated 100,000 Jewish prisoners were brought back to Rome after the war , and many contributed to the massive workforce needed for construction . The slaves undertook manual labor such as working in the quarries at Tivoli where the travertine was quarried , along with lifting and transporting the quarried stones 20 miles from Tivoli to Rome . Along with this free source of unskilled labor , teams of professional Roman builders , engineers , artists , painters and decorators undertook the more specialized tasks necessary for building the Colosseum . Construction of the Colosseum began under the rule of Vespasian in around 70 -- 72 AD ( 73 - 75 AD according to some sources ) The Colosseum had been completed up to the third story by the time of Vespasian 's death in 79 . The top level was finished by his son , Titus , in 80 , and the inaugural games were held in A.D. 80 or 81 . Dio Cassius recounts that over 9,000 wild animals were killed during the inaugural games of the amphitheatre . Commemorative coinage was issued celebrating the inauguration . The building was remodelled further under Vespasian 's younger son , the newly designated Emperor Domitian , who constructed the hypogeum , a series of underground tunnels used to house animals and slaves . He also added a gallery to the top of the Colosseum to increase its seating capacity . In 217 , the Colosseum was badly damaged by a major fire ( caused by lightning , according to Dio Cassius ) which destroyed the wooden upper levels of the amphitheatre 's interior . It was not fully repaired until about 240 and underwent further repairs in 250 or 252 and again in 320 . Gladiatorial fights are last mentioned around 435 . An inscription records the restoration of various parts of the Colosseum under Theodosius II and Valentinian III ( reigned 425 -- 455 ) , possibly to repair damage caused by a major earthquake in 443 ; more work followed in 484 and 508 . The arena continued to be used for contests well into the 6th century . Animal hunts continued until at least 523 , when Anicius Maximus celebrated his consulship with some venationes , criticised by King Theodoric the Great for their high cost . Medieval Map of medieval Rome depicting the Colosseum The Colosseum underwent several radical changes of use during the medieval period . By the late 6th century a small chapel had been built into the structure of the amphitheater , though this apparently did not confer any particular religious significance on the building as a whole . The arena was converted into a cemetery . The numerous vaulted spaces in the arcades under the seating were converted into housing and workshops , and are recorded as still being rented out as late as the 12th century . Around 1200 the Frangipani family took over the Colosseum and fortified it , apparently using it as a castle . Severe damage was inflicted on the Colosseum by the great earthquake in 1349 , causing the outer south side , lying on a less stable alluvial terrain , to collapse . Much of the tumbled stone was reused to build palaces , churches , hospitals and other buildings elsewhere in Rome . A religious order moved into the northern third of the Colosseum in the mid-14th century and continued to inhabit it until as late as the early 19th century . The interior of the amphitheater was extensively stripped of stone , which was reused elsewhere , or ( in the case of the marble façade ) was burned to make quicklime . The bronze clamps which held the stonework together were pried or hacked out of the walls , leaving numerous pockmarks which still scar the building today . Modern The Colosseum in a 1757 engraving by Giovanni Battista Piranesi 1747 view by Giovanni Paolo Panini , emphasizing the semi-rural environs of the Colosseum at the time During the 16th and 17th century , Church officials sought a productive role for the Colosseum . Pope Sixtus V ( 1585 -- 1590 ) planned to turn the building into a wool factory to provide employment for Rome 's prostitutes , though this proposal fell through with his premature death . In 1671 Cardinal Altieri authorized its use for bullfights ; a public outcry caused the idea to be hastily abandoned . Allied troops consult a guidebook outside the Colosseum after liberation in 1944 In 1749 , Pope Benedict XIV endorsed the view that the Colosseum was a sacred site where early Christians had been martyred . He forbade the use of the Colosseum as a quarry and consecrated the building to the Passion of Christ and installed Stations of the Cross , declaring it sanctified by the blood of the Christian martyrs who perished there ( see Significance in Christianity ) . However , there is no historical evidence to support Benedict 's claim , nor is there even any evidence that anyone before the 16th century suggested this might be the case ; the Catholic Encyclopedia concludes that there are no historical grounds for the supposition , other than the reasonably plausible conjecture that some of the many martyrs may well have been . Interior of the Colosseum , Rome ( 1832 ) by Thomas Cole , showing the Stations of the Cross around the arena and the extensive vegetation Later popes initiated various stabilization and restoration projects , removing the extensive vegetation which had overgrown the structure and threatened to damage it further . The façade was reinforced with triangular brick wedges in 1807 and 1827 , and the interior was repaired in 1831 , 1846 and in the 1930s . The arena substructure was partly excavated in 1810 -- 1814 and 1874 and was fully exposed under Benito Mussolini in the 1930s . The Colosseum is today one of Rome 's most popular tourist attractions , receiving millions of visitors annually . The effects of pollution and general deterioration over time prompted a major restoration programme carried out between 1993 and 2000 , at a cost of 40 billion Italian lire ( $19.3 m / € 20.6 m at 2000 prices ) . In recent years the Colosseum has become a symbol of the international campaign against capital punishment , which was abolished in Italy in 1948 . Several anti -- death penalty demonstrations took place in front of the Colosseum in 2000 . Since that time , as a gesture against the death penalty , the local authorities of Rome change the color of the Colosseum 's night time illumination from white to gold whenever a person condemned to the death penalty anywhere in the world gets their sentence commuted or is released , or if a jurisdiction abolishes the death penalty . Most recently , the Colosseum was illuminated in gold in November 2012 following the abolishment of capital punishment in the American state of Connecticut in April 2012 . Because of the ruined state of the interior , it is impractical to use the Colosseum to host large events ; only a few hundred spectators can be accommodated in temporary seating . However , much larger concerts have been held just outside , using the Colosseum as a backdrop . Performers who have played at the Colosseum in recent years have included Ray Charles ( May 2002 ) , Paul McCartney ( May 2003 ) , Elton John ( September 2005 ) , and Billy Joel ( July 2006 ) . The Colosseum today as a background to the busy metropolis Physical description Exterior Original façade of the Colosseum Unlike earlier Greek theatres that were built into hillsides , the Colosseum is an entirely free - standing structure . It derives its basic exterior and interior architecture from that of two Roman theatres back to back . It is elliptical in plan and is 189 meters ( 615 ft / 640 Roman feet ) long , and 156 meters ( 510 ft / 528 Roman feet ) wide , with a base area of 24,000 square metres ( 6 acres ) . The height of the outer wall is 48 meters ( 157 ft / 165 Roman feet ) . The perimeter originally measured 545 meters ( 1,788 ft / 1,835 Roman feet ) . The central arena is an oval 87 m ( 287 ft ) long and 55 m ( 180 ft ) wide , surrounded by a wall 5 m ( 15 ft ) high , above which rose tiers of seating . The outer wall is estimated to have required over 100,000 cubic metres ( 3,531,467 cubic feet ) of travertine stone which were set without mortar ; they were held together by 300 tons of iron clamps . However , it has suffered extensive damage over the centuries , with large segments having collapsed following earthquakes . The north side of the perimeter wall is still standing ; the distinctive triangular brick wedges at each end are modern additions , having been constructed in the early 19th century to shore up the wall . The remainder of the present - day exterior of the Colosseum is in fact the original interior wall . The exterior of the Colosseum , showing the partially intact outer wall ( left ) and the mostly intact inner wall ( center and right ) The surviving part of the outer wall 's monumental façade comprises three stories of superimposed arcades surmounted by a podium on which stands a tall attic , both of which are pierced by windows interspersed at regular intervals . The arcades are framed by half - columns of the Doric , Ionic , and Corinthian orders , while the attic is decorated with Corinthian pilasters . Each of the arches in the second - and third - floor arcades framed statues , probably honoring divinities and other figures from Classical mythology . Two hundred and forty mast corbels were positioned around the top of the attic . They originally supported a retractable awning , known as the velarium , that kept the sun and rain off spectators . This consisted of a canvas - covered , net - like structure made of ropes , with a hole in the center . It covered two - thirds of the arena , and sloped down towards the center to catch the wind and provide a breeze for the audience . Sailors , specially enlisted from the Roman naval headquarters at Misenum and housed in the nearby Castra Misenatium , were used to work the velarium . Entrance LII of the Colosseum , with Roman numerals still visible The Colosseum 's huge crowd capacity made it essential that the venue could be filled or evacuated quickly . Its architects adopted solutions very similar to those used in modern stadiums to deal with the same problem . The amphitheatre was ringed by eighty entrances at ground level , 76 of which were used by ordinary spectators . Each entrance and exit was numbered , as was each staircase . The northern main entrance was reserved for the Roman Emperor and his aides , whilst the other three axial entrances were most likely used by the elite . All four axial entrances were richly decorated with painted stucco reliefs , of which fragments survive . Many of the original outer entrances have disappeared with the collapse of the perimeter wall , but entrances XXIII ( 23 ) to LIV ( 54 ) survive . Spectators were given tickets in the form of numbered pottery shards , which directed them to the appropriate section and row . They accessed their seats via vomitoria ( singular vomitorium ) , passageways that opened into a tier of seats from below or behind . These quickly dispersed people into their seats and , upon conclusion of the event or in an emergency evacuation , could permit their exit within only a few minutes . The name vomitoria derived from the Latin word for a rapid discharge , from which English derives the word vomit . Interior seating The raked areas that once held seating According to the Codex - Calendar of 354 , the Colosseum could accommodate 87,000 people , although modern estimates put the figure at around 50,000 . They were seated in a tiered arrangement that reflected the rigidly stratified nature of Roman society . Special boxes were provided at the north and south ends respectively for the Emperor and the Vestal Virgins , providing the best views of the arena . Flanking them at the same level was a broad platform or podium for the senatorial class , who were allowed to bring their own chairs . The names of some 5th century senators can still be seen carved into the stonework , presumably reserving areas for their use . Diagram of the levels of seating The tier above the senators , known as the maenianum primum , was occupied by the non-senatorial noble class or knights ( equites ) . The next level up , the maenianum secundum , was originally reserved for ordinary Roman citizens ( plebeians ) and was divided into two sections . The lower part ( the immum ) was for wealthy citizens , while the upper part ( the summum ) was for poor citizens . Specific sectors were provided for other social groups : for instance , boys with their tutors , soldiers on leave , foreign dignitaries , scribes , heralds , priests and so on . Stone ( and later marble ) seating was provided for the citizens and nobles , who presumably would have brought their own cushions with them . Inscriptions identified the areas reserved for specific groups . Another level , the maenianum secundum in legneis , was added at the very top of the building during the reign of Domitian . This comprised a gallery for the common poor , slaves and women . It would have been either standing room only , or would have had very steep wooden benches . Some groups were banned altogether from the Colosseum , notably gravediggers , actors and former gladiators . Each tier was divided into sections ( maeniana ) by curved passages and low walls ( praecinctiones or baltei ) , and were subdivided into cunei , or wedges , by the steps and aisles from the vomitoria . Each row ( gradus ) of seats was numbered , permitting each individual seat to be exactly designated by its gradus , cuneus , and number . Arena and hypogeum The Colosseum arena , showing the hypogeum now filled with walls . The walls were added early in the Colosseum 's existence when it was decided it would no longer be flooded and used for naval battles . Latin inscription in the Colosseum The arena itself was 83 meters by 48 meters ( 272 ft by 157 ft / 280 by 163 Roman feet ) . It comprised a wooden floor covered by sand ( the Latin word for sand is harena or arena ) , covering an elaborate underground structure called the hypogeum ( literally meaning `` underground '' ) . The hypogeum was not part of the original construction but was ordered to be built by Emperor Domitian . Little now remains of the original arena floor , but the hypogeum is still clearly visible . It consisted of a two - level subterranean network of tunnels and cages beneath the arena where gladiators and animals were held before contests began . Eighty vertical shafts provided instant access to the arena for caged animals and scenery pieces concealed underneath ; larger hinged platforms , called hegmata , provided access for elephants and the like . It was restructured on numerous occasions ; at least twelve different phases of construction can be seen . Detail of the hypogeum The hypogeum was connected by underground tunnels to a number of points outside the Colosseum . Animals and performers were brought through the tunnel from nearby stables , with the gladiators ' barracks at the Ludus Magnus to the east also being connected by tunnels . Separate tunnels were provided for the Emperor and the Vestal Virgins to permit them to enter and exit the Colosseum without needing to pass through the crowds . Substantial quantities of machinery also existed in the hypogeum . Elevators and pulleys raised and lowered scenery and props , as well as lifting caged animals to the surface for release . There is evidence for the existence of major hydraulic mechanisms and according to ancient accounts , it was possible to flood the arena rapidly , presumably via a connection to a nearby aqueduct . However , the construction of the hypogeum at Domitian 's behest put an end to the practise of flooding , and thus also to naval battles , early in the Colosseum 's existence . Supporting buildings The Colosseum -- a view from the Oppian Hill The Colosseum and its activities supported a substantial industry in the area . In addition to the amphitheatre itself , many other buildings nearby were linked to the games . Immediately to the east is the remains of the Ludus Magnus , a training school for gladiators . This was connected to the Colosseum by an underground passage , to allow easy access for the gladiators . The Ludus Magnus had its own miniature training arena , which was itself a popular attraction for Roman spectators . Other training schools were in the same area , including the Ludus Matutinus ( Morning School ) , where fighters of animals were trained , plus the Dacian and Gallic Schools . Also nearby were the Armamentarium , comprising an armory to store weapons ; the Summum Choragium , where machinery was stored ; the Sanitarium , which had facilities to treat wounded gladiators ; and the Spoliarium , where bodies of dead gladiators were stripped of their armor and disposed of . Around the perimeter of the Colosseum , at a distance of 18 m ( 59 ft ) from the perimeter , was a series of tall stone posts , with five remaining on the eastern side . Various explanations have been advanced for their presence ; they may have been a religious boundary , or an outer boundary for ticket checks , or an anchor for the velarium or awning . Right next to the Colosseum is also the Arch of Constantine . Use Pollice Verso ( Thumbs Down ) by Jean - Léon Gérôme , 1872 The Colosseum was used to host gladiatorial shows as well as a variety of other events . The shows , called munera , were always given by private individuals rather than the state . They had a strong religious element but were also demonstrations of power and family prestige , and were immensely popular with the population . Another popular type of show was the animal hunt , or venatio . This utilized a great variety of wild beasts , mainly imported from Africa and the Middle East , and included creatures such as rhinoceros , hippopotamuses , elephants , giraffes , aurochs , wisents , Barbary lions , panthers , leopards , bears , Caspian tigers , crocodiles and ostriches . Battles and hunts were often staged amid elaborate sets with movable trees and buildings . Such events were occasionally on a huge scale ; Trajan is said to have celebrated his victories in Dacia in 107 with contests involving 11,000 animals and 10,000 gladiators over the course of 123 days . During lunch intervals , executions ad bestias would be staged . Those condemned to death would be sent into the arena , naked and unarmed , to face the beasts of death which would literally tear them to pieces . Other performances would also take place by acrobats and magicians , typically during the intervals . During the early days of the Colosseum , ancient writers recorded that the building was used for naumachiae ( more properly known as navalia proelia ) or simulated sea battles . Accounts of the inaugural games held by Titus in AD 80 describe it being filled with water for a display of specially trained swimming horses and bulls . There is also an account of a re-enactment of a famous sea battle between the Corcyrean ( Corfiot ) Greeks and the Corinthians . This has been the subject of some debate among historians ; although providing the water would not have been a problem , it is unclear how the arena could have been waterproofed , nor would there have been enough space in the arena for the warships to move around . It has been suggested that the reports either have the location wrong , or that the Colosseum originally featured a wide floodable channel down its central axis ( which would later have been replaced by the hypogeum ) . Sylvae or recreations of natural scenes were also held in the arena . Painters , technicians and architects would construct a simulation of a forest with real trees and bushes planted in the arena 's floor , and animals would then be introduced . Such scenes might be used simply to display a natural environment for the urban population , or could otherwise be used as the backdrop for hunts or dramas depicting episodes from mythology . They were also occasionally used for executions in which the hero of the story -- played by a condemned person -- was killed in one of various gruesome but mythologically authentic ways , such as being mauled by beasts or burned to death . Today A panorama of the interior of the Colosseum in 2016 The Colosseum today is now a major tourist attraction in Rome with thousands of tourists each year entering to view the interior arena . There is now a museum dedicated to Eros located in the upper floor of the outer wall of the building . Part of the arena floor has been re-floored . Beneath the Colosseum , a network of subterranean passageways once used to transport wild animals and gladiators to the arena opened to the public in summer 2010 . The Colosseum is also the site of Roman Catholic ceremonies in the 20th and 21st centuries . For instance , Pope Benedict XVI led the Stations of the Cross called the Scriptural Way of the Cross ( which calls for more meditation ) at the Colosseum on Good Fridays . Restoration In 2011 Diego Della Valle , head of the shoe firm Tod 's , entered into an agreement with local officials to sponsor a € 25 million restoration of the Colosseum . Work was planned to begin at the end of 2011 , taking up to two and a half years . Due to the controversial nature of using a public -- private partnership to fund the restoration , work was delayed and began in 2013 . The restoration is the first full cleaning and repair in the Colosseum 's history . The first stage is to clean and restore the Colosseum 's arcaded façade and replace the metal enclosures that block the ground - level arches . Taking three years , the final product of this work was unveiled July 1 , 2016 , when the Italian minister of culture , Dario Franceschini , also announced that the funds have been committed to replace the floors by the end of 2018 . These will provide a stage that Franceschini says will be used for `` cultural events of the highest level . '' The project also plans to create a services center and to restore the galleries and underground spaces inside the Colosseum. . New to tours of the restored marvel beginning November 1 , 2017 , the top two levels have been opened for guided visits . The fourth level held the marketplace , and the top fifth tier is where the poorest citizens , the plebians , gathered and watched the show , bringing picnics for the day - long event . Colosseum 2013 Colosseum 2013 Colosseum 2012 Colosseum 2013 Colosseum 2013 Colosseum 2013 Colosseum 2013 Colosseum 2014 Significance in Christianity The Christian Martyrs ' Last Prayer , by Jean - Léon Gérôme ( 1883 ) View of the interior of the Colosseum , by C.W. Eckersberg ( 1815 ) The Colosseum is generally regarded by Christians as a site of the martyrdom of large numbers of believers during the persecution of Christians in the Roman Empire , as evidenced by Church history and tradition . On the other hand , other scholars believe that the majority of martyrdoms may have occurred at other venues within the city of Rome , rather than at the Colosseum , citing a lack of still - intact physical evidence or historical records. These scholars assert that `` some Christians were executed as common criminals in the Colosseum -- their crime being refusal to reverence the Roman gods '' , but most Christian martyrs of the early Church were executed for their faith at the Circus Maximus . According to Irenæus ( died about 202 ) , Ignatius of Antioch was fed to the lions in Rome around 107 A.D and although Irenaeus says nothing about this happening at the Colosseum , tradition ascribes it to that place . In the Middle Ages , the Colosseum was not regarded as a monument , and was used as what some modern sources label a `` quarry , '' which is to say that stones from the Colosseum were taken for the building of other sacred sites . This fact is used to support the idea that , at a time when sites associated with martyrs were highly venerated the Colosseum was not being treated as a sacred site . It was not included in the itineraries compiled for the use of pilgrims nor in works such as the 12th century Mirabilia Urbis Romae ( `` Marvels of the City of Rome '' ) , which claims the Circus Flaminius -- but not the Colosseum -- as the site of martyrdoms . Part of the structure was inhabited by a Christian religious order , but it is not known whether this was for any particular religious reason . Pope Pius V ( 1566 -- 1572 ) is said to have recommended that pilgrims gather sand from the arena of the Colosseum to serve as a relic , on the grounds that it was impregnated with the blood of martyrs , although some of his contemporaries did not share his conviction . A century later Fioravante Martinelli listed the Colosseum at the head of a list of places sacred to the martyrs in his 1653 book Roma ex ethnica sacra . Martinelli 's book evidently had an effect on public opinion ; in response to Cardinal Altieri 's proposal some years later to turn the Colosseum into a bullring , Carlo Tomassi published a pamphlet in protest against what he regarded as an act of desecration . The ensuing controversy persuaded Pope Clement X to close the Colosseum 's external arcades and declare it a sanctuary . Cross dedicated to the Christian martyrs , placed in 2000 by Pope John Paul II . At the insistence of St. Leonard of Port Maurice , Pope Benedict XIV ( 1740 -- 1758 ) forbade the quarrying of the Colosseum and erected Stations of the Cross around the arena , which remained until February 1874 . Benedict Joseph Labre spent the later years of his life within the walls of the Colosseum , living on alms , before he died in 1783 . Several 19th century popes funded repair and restoration work on the Colosseum , and it still retains its Christian connection today . A Christian cross stands in the Colosseum , with a plaque , stating : The amphitheater , one consecrated to triumphs , entertainments , and the impious worship of pagan gods , is now dedicated to the sufferings of the martyrs purified from impious superstitions . Other Christian crosses stand in several points around the arena and every Good Friday the Pope leads a Via Crucis procession to the amphitheater . Flora Plants on the inner walls of the Colosseum The Colosseum has a wide and well - documented history of flora ever since Domenico Panaroli made the first catalogue of its plants in 1643 . Since then , 684 species have been identified there . The peak was in 1855 ( 420 species ) . Attempts were made in 1871 to eradicate the vegetation , because of concerns over the damage that was being caused to the masonry , but much of it has returned . 242 species have been counted today and of the species first identified by Panaroli , 200 remain . The variation of plants can be explained by the change of climate in Rome through the centuries . Additionally , bird migration , flower blooming , and the growth of Rome that caused the Colosseum to become embedded within the modern city centre rather than on the outskirts of the ancient city , as well as deliberate transport of species , are also contributing causes . Another reason often given is their seeds being unwittingly transported either on the fur or in the feces of animals brought there from all corners of the empire . Works modeled on , or inspired by , the Colosseum The Kongresshalle , or `` Congress Hall '' , ( 1935 , unfinished ) at the Nazi Party Rally grounds , Nuremberg , Germany The Summer Olympic Games medal from 1928 to 2000 , designed by Giuseppe Cassioli , features a depiction of the Colosseum . At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens the Colosseum was replaced by a depiction of the Panathinaiko Stadium The exterior of the Vancouver Public Library in British Columbia resembles the current state of the Colosseum . It was designed by Moshe Safdie . The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum entrance was inspired by the Colosseum . The Palazzo della Civilta Italiana was very closely modelled on the Colosseum . It was built for Mussolini for the Universal Exhibition of 1942 but the exhibition never happened due to the outbreak of World War II . The architects were Giovanni Guerrini , Ernesto Bruno La Padula , and Mario Romano . McCaig 's Tower , overlooking Oban , Scotland . This list is incomplete ; you can help by expanding it . Popular culture references The Colosseum was featured in the 2010 video game Assassin 's Creed : Brotherhood . The Colosseum is of great importance to the entire Assassin 's Creed series as a whole : first , it was an entrance site to a Lair of Romulus , second , the Lair beneath the Colosseum led directly to the Temple of Juno Moneta which housed the Apple of Eden , third , it was used in a Passion Play depicting Jesus Christ 's crucifixion where an assassination attempt was unfoiled by the protagonist Ezio Auditore da Firenze , fourth , in the 21st century , Desmond Miles freeran through the maze in the Colosseum in order to find the Temple of Juno Moneta below the Basilica of Santa Maria in Ara Coeli and the Apple kept in it by Ezio in 1506 and fifth , it has a glyph at the top . In addition , the Colosseum is elliptical ( oval - shaped ) in reality , but it was made circular for Assassin 's Creed : Brotherhood , since devising shadows for different sides of the buildings would have `` driven game designers nuts '' .

"The Colosseum or Coliseum (/kɒləˈsiːəm/ kol-ə-SEE-əm), also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre (Latin: Amphitheatrum Flavium; Italian: Anfiteatro Flavio [aŋfiteˈaːtro ˈflaːvjo] or Colosseo [kolosˈsɛːo]), is an oval amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy. Built of travertine, tuff, and brick-faced concrete,[1] it is the largest amphitheatre ever built. The Colosseum is situated just east of the Roman Forum. Construction began under the emperor Vespasian in AD 72,[2] and was completed in AD 80 under his successor and heir Titus.[3] Further modifications were made during the reign of Domitian (81–96).[4] These three emperors are known as the Flavian dynasty, and the amphitheatre was named in Latin for its association with their family name (Flavius).\n"

Pirates of the Caribbean 6 ( tba ) ( edit ) Shortly before the release of On Stranger Tides , it was reported that Disney was planning to shoot the fifth and the sixth films back - to - back , although it was later revealed that only the fifth film was in development . On March 4 , 2017 , director Joachim Rønning stated that Dead Men was only the beginning of the final adventure , implying that it would not be the last film of the franchise and that a sixth film could be realized . In September 2017 , producer Jerry Bruckheimer indicated that another Pirates sequel is still possible if Dead Men Tell No Tales does well in its home release . In October 2017 , Kaya Scodelario said that she was contracted to return for a sixth film . Shortly after , it was announced that Joachim Rønning is being eyed to direct the film . Short film ( edit ) Tales of the code : wedlocked ( 2011 ) ( edit ) Wenches Scarlett ( Lauren Maher ) and Giselle ( Vanessa Branch ) fix each other up for their wedding , in which they would each marry their groom . Upon realizing that both their grooms were the same man -- Jack Sparrow -- the two wenches find themselves in an auction led by the Auctioneer . The short film serves as a prequel to The Curse of the Black Pearl , explaining just why Jack Sparrow 's boat , the Jolly Mon , was seen sinking at the beginning of the whole story , and explaining why wenches Scarlett and Giselle were so upset with him , and it also implies how Cotton lost his tongue . The plot took inspiration from the `` Auction scene '' from the original ride . The short was directed by James Ward Byrkit , and was only included as a special feature in the US 15 disc 3D Blu - ray / 2D Blu - ray / DVD + Digital Copy box set that includes films 1 -- 4 ; and in the similar UK 5 - disc set . Production ( edit ) First film ( edit ) In the early 1990s screenwriters Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio conceived a supernatural spin on the pirate genre after completing work on Aladdin , but there was no interest from any studio . Undeterred , the writing team refused to give up the dream , waiting for a studio to pick up their take on a pirate tale . Disney had Jay Wolpert write a script based on the Pirates of the Caribbean , which producer Jerry Bruckheimer rejected , feeling it was `` a straight pirate movie '' . Bruckheimer brought Stuart Beattie in to rewrite the script in March 2002 , due to his knowledge of piracy , and later that month Elliott and Rossio were brought in . Elliott and Rossio , inspired by the opening narration of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride , decided to give the film a supernatural edge . As the budget rose , Michael Eisner and Robert Iger threatened to cancel the film , though Bruckheimer changed their minds when he showed them concept art and animatics . In June 2002 Gore Verbinski signed on to direct The Curse of the Black Pearl , and Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush signed on the following month to star . Verbinski was attracted to the idea of using modern technology to resurrect a genre , one that had disappeared after the Golden Age of Hollywood , and recalled his childhood memories of the ride , feeling the film was an opportunity to pay tribute to the `` scary and funny '' tone of it . Depp was attracted to the story as he found it quirky : rather than trying to find treasure , the crew of the Black Pearl were trying to return it in order to lift their curse ; also , the traditional mutiny had already taken place . Verbinski approached Rush for the role of Barbossa , as he knew he would not play it with attempts at complexity , but with a simple villainy that would suit the story 's tone . Orlando Bloom read the script after Rush , with whom he was working on Ned Kelly , suggested it to him . Keira Knightley came as a surprise to Verbinski : he had not seen her performance in Bend It Like Beckham and was impressed by her audition . Tom Wilkinson was negotiated with to play Governor Swann , but the role went to Jonathan Pryce , whom Depp idolized . Shooting for The Curse of the Black Pearl began on October 9 , 2002 and wrapped by March 7 , 2003 . Before its release , many executives and journalists had expected the film to flop , as the pirate genre had not been successful for years , the film was based on a theme - park ride , and Depp rarely made a big film . However , The Curse of the Black Pearl became both a critical and commercial success . Second and third films ( edit ) After seeing how well the first film was made , the cast and crew signed for two sequels to be shot back - to - back , a practical decision on Disney 's part to allow more time with the same cast and crew . Writers Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio knew that with an ensemble cast , they were n't free to invent totally different situations and characters , as with the Indiana Jones and James Bond series , and so had to retroactively turn The Curse of the Black Pearl into the first of a trilogy . They wanted to explore the reality of what would happen after Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann 's embrace at the end of the first film , and initially considered the Fountain of Youth as the plot device . They settled on introducing Davy Jones , the Flying Dutchman and the Kraken , a mythology mentioned twice in the first film . They introduced the historical East India Trading Company ( also mentioned in the first film ) , which for them represented a counterpoint to the themes of personal freedom represented by pirates . Filming for the sequels began on February 28 , 2005 , with Dead Man 's Chest finishing on March 1 , 2006 , and At World 's End on January 10 , 2007 . The second film was also the first Disney theatrical feature film with the computer - generated Walt Disney Pictures logo . Fourth film ( edit ) Rossio and Elliot discovered the novel On Stranger Tides during production of Dead Man 's Chest and At World 's End and decided to use it as the basis for a fourth film . As Gore Verbinski was unavailable , Bruckheimer invited Rob Marshall to direct the film . Elliott and Rossio decided to do a stand - alone film , with a story that would support new characters , and incorporate elements from the novel , such as Blackbeard , the Fountain of Youth and mermaids -- the latter two having been already alluded to in the previous films . Depp , Rush , Greg Ellis and Kevin McNally returned to their roles , and the cast saw the additions of Ian McShane as Blackbeard and Penélope Cruz as Angelica , Blackbeard 's daughter and Jack Sparrow 's love interest . A further addition was Richard Griffiths as King George II of Great Britain . After the costly production of two simultaneous films , Disney tried to scale down the fourth installment , giving a lower budget , which led to cheaper locations and fewer scenes with special effects . It was also filmed in 3D , with cameras similar to the ones used in Avatar . Filming for On Stranger Tides began June 14 , 2010 and ended on November 19 , 2010 . It was released in the United States on May 20 , 2011 . With a budget of $378.5 million , On Stranger Tides holds the record for most expensive film ever made . Fifth film ( edit ) On January 14 , 2011 , it was confirmed that Terry Rossio would write the screenplay for the fifth installment , without his co-writer Ted Elliott . On January 11 , 2013 , Jeff Nathanson signed on to write the script for the film . On May 29 , 2013 , it was announced that Norwegian directors Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg were selected to direct . On August 22 , 2013 , the two revealed that the title of the fifth film would be Dead Men Tell No Tales , alluding to the line well - known from the Pirates of the Caribbean theme park attractions . Although , the film was given an alternative title , Salazar 's Revenge , in selected European , South American and Asian countries for marketing purposes . They also confirmed that they were working on the film , speaking highly of Jeff Nathanson 's `` funny and touching '' script and that they are inspired by the first film , The Curse of the Black Pearl . On September 10 , 2013 , Disney pushed back the film 's initial 2015 release , with sources indicating that a Summer 2016 release is likely . Producer Jerry Bruckheimer revealed that script issues were behind the delay , and that Jeff Nathanson was at work on a second attempt based on a well - received outline . While Disney originally announced a release on July 7 , 2017 , Dead Men Tell No Tales was released on May 26 , 2017 . A spokesman for the Australian Arts Minister confirmed that the fifth installment was set to shoot in Australia after the government agreed to repurpose $20 million of tax incentives originally intended for the remake of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea . According to Australian film industry sources , pre-production started in late September 2014 with filming expected to commence in February 2015 . This was officially confirmed by Disney and Ian Walker the Queensland Arts Minister on October 2 , 2014 , stating that filming will take place exclusively in Australia , being the largest production to ever shoot in the country . Village Roadshow Studios and Port Douglas were officially confirmed as filming locations . Production began in Australia on February 17 , 2015 and wrapped on July 9 , 2015 .

It also became the first ever series to have multiple films passing the billion dollar mark in box office revenues with Dead Man 's Chest and On Stranger Tides , since followed by other film franchises . The Curse of the Black Pearl was the third highest - grossing 2003 film in North America ( behind The Lord of the Rings : The Return of the King and Finding Nemo ) and fourth worldwide ( behind The Return of the King , Finding Nemo and The Matrix Reloaded ) . Dead Man 's Chest was the most successful film of 2006 worldwide , and At World 's End led the worldwide grosses in 2007 , though being only fourth in North America ( behind Spider - Man 3 , Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Shrek the Third ) .

The first three sequels broke box office records upon release , of which the most notable are the opening - weekend record in North America ( Dead Man 's Chest ) , the Memorial - Day weekend record in North America ( At World 's End ) and the opening - weekend record outside North America ( On Stranger Tides ) . Critical and public response ( edit ) Film Rotten Tomatoes Metacritic CinemaScore The Curse of the Black Pearl 79 % ( 210 reviews ) 63 ( 40 reviews ) Dead Man 's Chest 54 % ( 220 reviews ) 53 ( 37 reviews ) A − At World 's End 45 % ( 220 reviews ) 50 ( 36 reviews ) A − On Stranger Tides 32 % ( 262 reviews ) 45 ( 39 reviews ) B+ Dead Men Tell No Tales 30 % ( 230 reviews ) 39 ( 45 reviews ) A − The series is noted for its high quality of acting talent , and is one of the aspects of the films that is always praised . The visual and practical effects are considered some of the best ever done on film , so much so that audiences believed certain CGI elements of the films were real and done practically . However , the plots of the four sequels have received mixed reviews , with the general consensus that they are too bloated and convoluted to follow . Pirates of the Caribbean is noted for reinvigorating the pirate genre of film after decades of either no pirate films or failed pirate films . The success of the series saw Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer try to replicate the franchise 's success by launching films such as Prince of Persia : The Sands of Time and The Lone Ranger , the latter of which directed by Gore Verbinski . Both movies failed critically and commercially .

For other uses , see Promised Land ( disambiguation ) . The neutrality of this article is disputed . Relevant discussion may be found on the talk page . Please do not remove this message until conditions to do so are met . ( January 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Map showing the borders of the Promised Land , based on Bible . ( Genesis 15 ) . Map showing one interpretation of the borders of the Promised Land , based on God 's promise to Abraham ( Genesis 15 ) . The Promised Land ( Hebrew : הארץ המובטחת , translit. : Ha'Aretz HaMuvtahat ; Arabic : أرض الميعاد , translit. : Ard Al - Mi'ad ; also known as `` The Land of Milk and Honey '' ) is the land which , according to the Tanakh ( the Hebrew Bible ) , was promised and subsequently given by God to Abraham and his descendants , and in modern contexts an image and idea related both to the restored Homeland for the Jewish people and to salvation and liberation is more generally understood . The promise was first made to Abraham ( Genesis 15 : 18 - 21 ) , then confirmed to his son Isaac ( Genesis 26 : 3 ) , and then to Isaac 's son Jacob ( Genesis 28 : 13 ) , Abraham 's grandson . The Promised Land was described in terms of the territory from the River of Egypt to the Euphrates river ( Exodus 23 : 31 ) . A smaller area of former Canaanite land and land east of the Jordan River was conquered and occupied by their descendants , the Israelites , after Moses led the Exodus out of Egypt ( Numbers 34 : 1 - 12 ) , and this occupation was interpreted as God 's fulfilment of the promise ( Deuteronomy 1 : 8 ) . Moses anticipated that God might subsequently give the Israelites land reflecting the boundaries of God 's original promise , if they were obedient to the covenant ( Deuteronomy 19 : 8 - 9 ) . The concept of the Promised Land is the central tenet of Zionism , whose discourse suggests that modern Jews descend from the Israelites and Maccabees through whom they inherit the right to re-establish their `` national homeland '' . Palestinians also claim partial descent from the Israelites and Maccabees , as well as all the other peoples who have lived in the region . The imagery of the `` Promised Land '' was invoked in African - American spirituals as heaven or paradise and as an escape from slavery , often which can only be reached by death . The imagery and term have also been used in popular culture ( see Promised Land ( disambiguation ) ) , sermons and in speeches , such as the `` I 've Been to the Mountaintop '' ( 1968 ) speech by Martin Luther King Jr. : `` I just want to do God 's will . And He 's allowed me to go up to the mountain . And I 've looked over . And I 've seen the Promised Land . I may not get there with you . But I want you to know tonight , that we , as a people , will get to the Promised Land . So I 'm happy , tonight . I 'm not worried about anything . I 'm not fearing any man . Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord . '' Contents 1 Divine promise 2 Descendants of Abraham 3 Christian interpretation 4 Boundaries from the Book of Numbers 5 See also 6 References Divine promise ( edit ) Yahweh ( God ) shows Moses the Promised Land ( Frans Pourbus the Elder , c. 1565 -- 80 ) The promise that is the basis of the term is contained in several verses of Genesis in the Torah . In Genesis 12 : 1 it is said : The LORD had said to Abram , `` Leave your country , your people and your father 's household and go to the land I will show you . '' and in Genesis 12 : 7 : The LORD appeared to Abram and said , `` To your offspring ( or seed ) I will give this land . '' Commentators have noted several problems with this promise and related ones : It is to Abram 's descendants that the land will ( in the future tense ) be given , not to Abram directly nor there and then . However , in Genesis 15 : 7 it is said : He also said to him , `` I am the LORD , who brought you out from Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to take possession of it . '' However , how this verse relates to the promises is a matter of controversy . There is nothing in the promise to indicate God intended it be applied to Abraham 's physical descendants unconditionally , exclusively ( to nobody but these descendants ) , exhaustively ( to all of them ) or in perpetuity . Jewish commentators drawing on Rashi 's comments to the first verse in the Bible , assert that no human collective ever has any a priori claim to any piece of land on the planet , and that only God decides which group inhabits which land in any point in time . This interpretation has no contradictions since the idea that the Jewish people have a claim to ownership rights on the physical land is based on the idea of God deciding to give the land to the Jewish people and commanding them to occupy it as referred to in Biblical texts previously mentioned . In Genesis 15 : 18 - 21 the boundary of the Promised Land is clarified in terms of the territory of various ancient peoples , as follows : On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram and said , `` To your descendants I give this land , from the river of Egypt to the great river , the Euphrates - the land of the Kenites , Kenizzites , Kadmonites , Hittites , Perizzites , Rephaite , Amorites , Canaanites , Girgashites and Jebusites . '' The verse is said to describe what are known as `` borders of the Land '' ( Gevulot Ha - aretz ) . In Jewish tradition , these borders define the maximum extent of the land promised to the descendants of Abraham through his son Isaac and grandson Jacob . The promise was confirmed to Jacob at Genesis 28 : 13 , though the borders are still vague and is in terms of `` the land on which you are lying '' . Other geographical borders are given in Exodus 23 : 31 which describes borders as marked by the Red Sea , the `` Sea of the Philistines '' i.e. the Mediterranean , and the `` River , '' ( the Euphrates ) . The promise is fulfilled at the end of the Exodus from Egypt . Deuteronomy 1 : 8 says : See , I have given you this land . Go in and take possession of the land that the LORD swore he would give to your fathers -- to Abraham , Isaac and Jacob -- and to their descendants after them . It took a long time before the Israelites could subdue the Canaanite inhabitants of the land . The furthest extent of the Land of Israel was achieved during the time of the united Kingdom of Israel under David . The actual land controlled by the Israelites has fluctuated considerably over time , and at times the land has been under the control of various empires . However , under Jewish tradition , even when it is not in Jewish occupation , the land has not lost its status as the Promised Land . Descendants of Abraham ( edit ) The concept is central to Zionism . In 1896 , Herzl exhorted Jews to take up the movement , writing `` for these have never lost the faith in the Promised Land '' . Traditional Jewish interpretation , and that of most Christian commentators , define Abraham 's descendants as Abraham 's seed only through his son Isaac and his grandson Jacob , to the exclusion of Ishmael and Esau . This may however reflect an eisegesis or reconstruction of primary verses based on the later biblical emphasis of Jacob 's descendants . The promises given to Abraham happened prior to the birth of Isaac and were given to all his offspring signified through the rite of circumcision . Johann Friedrich Karl Keil is less clear , as he states that the covenant is through Isaac , but notes that Ishmael 's descendants have held much of that land through time . Mainstream Jewish tradition regards the promise made to Abraham , Isaac and Jacob as having been given to all Jews , including proselytes and in turn their descendants , with the traditional view being that a convert becomes a child of Abraham , as in the term `` ben Avraham '' . Christian interpretation ( edit ) In the New Testament , the descent and promise is reinterpreted along religious lines . In the Epistle to the Galatians , Paul the Apostle draws attention to the formulation of the promise , avoiding the term `` seeds '' in plural ( meaning many people ) , choosing instead `` seed , '' meaning one person , who , he understands to be Jesus ( and those united with him ) . For example , in Galatians 3 : 16 he notes : `` The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed . Scripture does not say `` and to seeds , '' meaning many people , but `` and to your seed , '' meaning one person , who is Christ . '' In Galatians 3 : 28 - 29 Paul goes further , noting that the expansion of the promise from singular to the plural is not based on genetic / physical association , but a spiritual / religious one : `` There is neither Jew nor Gentile , neither slave nor free , neither male nor female , for you are all one in Christ Jesus . If you belong to Christ , then you are Abraham 's seed , and heirs according to the promise . '' In Romans 4 : 13 it is written : `` It was not through the law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world , but through the righteousness that comes by faith . '' Boundaries from the Book of Numbers ( edit ) Boundaries of the ' Promised Land ' given in the Book of Numbers ( chapter 34 ) The South border . -- ( v. 3 ) `` Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the coast of Edom , and your south border shall be the outmost coast of the salt sea eastward : ( v. 4 ) And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim , and pass on to Zin : and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to Kadesh - barnea , and shall go on to Hazar - addar , and pass on to Azmon : ( v. 5 ) And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt , and the goings out of it shall be at the sea . '' The Western border . -- ( v. 6 ) `` And as for the western border , ye shall even have the great sea for a border : this shall be your west border . '' The North border . -- ( v. 7 ) `` And this shall be your north border : from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor : ( v. 8 ) From mount Hor ye shall point out your border unto the entrance of Hamath ; and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad : ( v 9 ) And the border shall go on to Ziphron , and the goings out of it shall be at Hazar - enan : this shall be your north border . '' The East border . -- ( v. 10 ) `` And ye shall point out your east border from Hazar - enan to Shepham : ( v. 11 ) And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah , on the east side of Ain ; and the border shall descend , and shall reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward : ( v. 12 ) And the border shall go down to Jordan , and the goings out of it shall be at the salt sea : this shall be your land with the coasts thereof round about . '' Boundaries of the ' Promised Land ' given by Jerome c. 400 You may delineate the Promised Land of Moses from the Book of Numbers ( ch. 34 ) : as bounded on the south by the desert tract called Sina , between the Dead Sea and the city of Kadesh - barnea , ( which is located with the Arabah to the east ) and continues to the west , as far as the river of Egypt , that discharges into the open sea near the city of Rhinocolara ; as bounded on the west by the sea along the coasts of Palestine , Phoenicia , Coele ‐ Syria , and Cilicia ; as bounded on the north by the circle formed by the Taurus Mountains and Zephyrium and extending to Hamath , called Epiphany ‐ Syria ; as bounded on the east by the city of Antioch Hippos and Lake Kinneret , now called Tiberias , and then the Jordan River which discharges into the salt sea , now called the Dead Sea . 1845 : Salomon Munk , Palestine , Description Géographique , Historique et Archéologique , '' in `` L'Univers Pittoresque ; Under the name Palestine , we comprehend the small country formerly inhabited by the Israelites , and which is today part of Acre and Damascus pachalics . It stretched between 31 and 33 ° N. latitude and between 32 and 35 ° degrees E. longitude , an area of about 1300 French : lieues carrées . Some zealous writers , to give the land of the Hebrews some political importance , have exaggerated the extent of Palestine ; but we have an authority for us that one can not reject . St. Jerome , who had long traveled in this country , said in his letter to Dardanus ( ep. 129 ) that the northern boundary to that of the southern , was a distance of 160 Roman miles , which is about 55 French : lieues . He paid homage to the truth despite his fears , as he said himself , of availing the Promised Land to pagan mockery , `` Pudet dicere latitudinem terrae repromissionis , ne ethnicis occasionem blasphemandi dedisse uideamur '' .

ISBN 9781317801115 . Thus if you were a child of Abraham by race you inevitably were heir to the great land promises in the Holy Land ... Paul challenges the exclusivity of racial descent from Abraham . Children of Abraham consist of people - Jews and Gentiles - who share Abraham 's faith . And the promise of God , he notes , comes to Abraham and his seed ( singular ) and this seed is Christ ( Gal. 3 : 16 ) . Thus Christ is the true heir of Abraham and his promises . And if we belong to Christ , we too are attached to Abraham and the promises given to him . Again , for the non-Jewish Christian , it is hard to imagine the impact of this theological subversion . Paul has upended one of the chief arguments for exclusive Jewish privilege in the Holy Land ... If you want a glimpse of just how striking Paul 's rethinking of this could be , just look at Romans 4 : 13 . Here Paul refers directly to the inheritance of Abraham . This was the gift of Canaan , the Holy Land and Israel ! And yet look at what Paul actually says : the promise to Abraham was that he would inherit the entire world . How can that be ? This is not in Genesis . But it can be true in only one way : the family of Abraham now includes the Gentiles - Gentiles living throughout the world : Romans , Greeks , Cappadocians , Arabs - and they now , inasmuch as they belong to Christ , also belong to Abraham . God 's new claim is not for the restoration of Judaea . It is not for a political rebuilding of the Holy Land . God 's new claim is for the entire world ; His people in Christ will be instruments of that claim . CS1 maint : Uses editors parameter ( link ) Jump up ^ Henry P. Linton ( 1884 ) .

Originally written c. 450 - 180 BCE , it is also among the canonical Wisdom Books in the Old Testament of most denominations of Christianity . The title Ecclesiastes is a Latin transliteration of the Greek translation of the Hebrew Kohelet , the pseudonym used by the author of the book . The book is a musing by a King of Jerusalem as he relates his experiences and draws lessons from them , often self - critical . The author , introducing himself as the son of David , discusses the meaning of life and the best way to live . He proclaims all the actions of man to be inherently hevel , meaning `` vain '' or `` futile '' , ( `` mere breath '' ) , as both wise and foolish end in death . Kohelet clearly endorses wisdom as a means for a well - lived earthly life . In light of this senselessness , one should enjoy the simple pleasures of daily life , such as eating , drinking , and taking enjoyment in one 's work , which are gifts from the hand of God . The book concludes with the injunction : `` Fear God , and keep his commandments ; for that is the whole duty of everyone '' ( 12 : 13 ) . Ecclesiastes has had a deep influence on Western literature . It contains several phrases that have resonated in British and American culture , and was quoted by Abraham Lincoln addressing Congress in 1862 . American novelist Thomas Wolfe wrote : `` ( O ) f all I have ever seen or learned , that book seems to me the noblest , the wisest , and the most powerful expression of man 's life upon this earth -- and also the highest flower of poetry , eloquence , and truth . I am not given to dogmatic judgments in the matter of literary creation , but if I had to make one I could say that Ecclesiastes is the greatest single piece of writing I have ever known , and the wisdom expressed in it the most lasting and profound .

Kohelet 's story is framed by voice of the narrator , who refers to Kohelet in the third person , praises his wisdom , but reminds the reader that wisdom has its limitations and is not man 's main concern . Kohelet reports what he planned , did , experienced and thought . His journey to knowledge is , in the end , incomplete . The reader is not only to hear Kohelet 's wisdom , but to observe his journey towards understanding and acceptance of life 's frustrations and uncertainties : the journey itself is important . Few of the many attempts to uncover an underlying structure to Ecclesiastes have met with widespread acceptance ; among them , the following is one of the more influential : Title ( 1 : 1 ) Initial poem ( 1 : 2 -- 11 ) I : Kohelet 's investigation of life ( 1 : 12 -- 6 : 9 ) II : Kohelet 's conclusions ( 6 : 10 -- 11 : 6 ) Introduction ( 6 : 10 -- 12 ) A : Man can not discover what is good for him to do ( 7 : 1 -- 8 : 17 ) B : Man does not know what will come after him ( 9 : 1 -- 11 : 6 ) Concluding poem ( 11 : 7 -- 12 : 8 ) Epilogue ( 12 : 9 -- 14 ) Verse 1 : 1 is a superscription , the ancient equivalent of a title page : it introduces the book as `` the words of Kohelet , son of David , king in Jerusalem . '' Most , though not all , modern commentators regard the epilogue ( 12 : 9 -- 14 ) as an addition by a later scribe . Some have identified certain other statements as further additions intended to make the book more religiously orthodox ( e.g. , the affirmations of God 's justice and the need for piety ) . Summary ( edit ) The ten - verse introduction in verses 1 : 2 -- 11 are the words of the frame narrator ; they set the mood for what is to follow : Kohelet 's message is that all is meaningless . After the introduction come the words of Kohelet . As king he has experienced everything and done everything , but nothing is ultimately reliable . Death levels all . The only good is to partake of life in the present , for enjoyment is from the hand of God . Everything is ordered in time and people are subject to time in contrast to God 's eternal character . The world is filled with injustice , which only God will adjudicate . God and humans do not belong in the same realm and it is therefore necessary to have a right attitude before God . People should enjoy , but should not be greedy ; no - one knows what is good for humanity ; righteousness and wisdom escape us . Kohelet reflects on the limits of human power : all people face death , and death is better than life , but we should enjoy life when we can . The world is full of risk : he gives advice on living with risk , both political and economic . Mortals should take pleasure when they can , for a time may come when no one can . Kohelet 's words finish with imagery of nature languishing and humanity marching to the grave . The frame narrator returns with an epilogue : the words of the wise are hard , but they are applied as the shepherd applies goads and pricks to his flock . The original ending of the book was probably the words : `` The end of the matter '' ( 12 : 13 ) but the text we have continues : `` Fear God '' ( a phrase used often in Kohelet 's speech ) `` and keep his commandments '' ( which he never uses ) , `` for God will bring every deed to judgement . '' Composition ( edit ) Title , date and author ( edit ) The book takes its name from the Greek ekklesiastes , a translation of the title by which the central figure refers to himself : Kohelet , meaning something like `` one who convenes or addresses an assembly '' . According to rabbinic tradition , Ecclesiastes was written by Solomon in his old age . ( An alternative tradition that `` Hezekiah and his colleagues wrote Isaiah , Proverbs , the Song of Songs and Ecclesiastes '' probably means simply that the book was edited under Hezekiah . ) Nevertheless , critical scholars have long rejected the idea of a pre-exilic origin . The presence of Persian loan - words and Aramaisms points to a date no earlier than about 450 BCE , while the latest possible date for its composition is 180 BCE , when another Jewish writer , Ben Sira , quotes from it . The dispute as to whether Ecclesiastes belongs to the Persian or the Hellenistic periods ( i.e. , the earlier or later part of this period ) revolves around the degree of Hellenization ( influence of Greek culture and thought ) present in the book . Scholars arguing for a Persian date ( c. 450 -- 330 BCE ) hold that there is a complete lack of Greek influence ; those who argue for a Hellenistic date ( c. 330 -- 180 BCE ) argue that it shows internal evidence of Greek thought and social setting . Also unresolved is whether the author and narrator of Kohelet are one and the same person . Some scholars have argued that the third - person narrative structure is an artificial literary device along the lines of Uncle Remus , although the description of the Teacher in 12 : 8 -- 14 seems to favour a historical person whose thoughts are presented by the narrator . The question , however , has no theological importance , and one scholar ( Roland Murphy ) has commented that Kohelet himself would have regarded the time and ingenuity put into interpreting his book as `` one more example of the futility of human effort '' . Genre and setting ( edit ) Ecclesiastes has taken its literary form from the Middle Eastern tradition of the fictional autobiography , in which a character , often a king , relates his experiences and draws lessons from them , often self - critical : Kohelet likewise identifies himself as a king , speaks of his search for wisdom , relates his conclusions , and recognises his limitations . It belongs to the category of wisdom literature , the body of biblical writings which give advice on life , together with reflections on its problems and meanings -- other examples include the Book of Job , Proverbs , and some of the Psalms . Ecclesiastes differs from the other biblical Wisdom books in being deeply skeptical of the usefulness of Wisdom itself . Ecclesiastes in turn influenced the deuterocanonical works , Wisdom of Solomon and Sirach , both of which contain vocal rejections of the Ecclesiastical philosophy of futility . Wisdom was a popular genre in the ancient world , where it was cultivated in scribal circles and directed towards young men who would take up careers in high officialdom and royal courts ; there is strong evidence that some of these books , or at least sayings and teachings , were translated into Hebrew and influenced the Book of Proverbs , and the author of Ecclesiastes was probably familiar with examples from Egypt and Mesopotamia . He may also have been influenced by Greek philosophy , specifically the schools of Stoicism , which held that all things are fated , and Epicureanism , which held that happiness was best pursued through the quiet cultivation of life 's simpler pleasures . Canonicity ( edit ) The presence of Ecclesiastes in the Bible is something of a puzzle , as the common themes of the Hebrew canon -- a God who reveals and redeems , who elects and cares for a chosen people -- are absent from it , which suggests that Kohelet had lost his faith in his old age . Understanding the book was a topic of the earliest recorded discussions ( the hypothetical Council of Jamnia in the 1st century CE ) . One argument advanced then was that the name of Solomon carried enough authority to ensure its inclusion , but other works which appeared with Solomon 's name were excluded despite being more orthodox than Ecclesiastes . Another was that the words of the epilogue , in which the reader is told to fear God and keep his commands , made it orthodox ; but all later attempts to find anything in the rest of the book which would reflect this orthodoxy have failed . A modern suggestion treats the book as a dialogue in which different statements belong to different voices , with Kohelet himself answering and refuting unorthodox opinions , but there are no explicit markers for this in the book , as there are , for example in the Book of Job . Yet another suggestion is that Ecclesiastes is simply the most extreme example of a tradition of skepticism , but none of the proposed examples match Ecclesiastes for a sustained denial of faith and doubt in the goodness of God . `` In short , we do not know why or how this book found its way into such esteemed company , '' summarizes Martin A. Shields in his 2006 book The End of Wisdom : A Reappraisal of the Historical and Canonical Function of Ecclesiastes Themes ( edit ) Scholars disagree about the themes of Ecclesiastes . Is it positive and life - affirming , or deeply pessimistic ? Is Kohelet coherent or incoherent , insightful or confused , orthodox or heterodox ? Is the ultimate message of the book to copy Kohelet , the wise man , or to avoid his errors ? At times Kohelet raises deep questions ; he `` doubted every aspect of religion , from the very ideal of righteousness , to the by now traditional idea of divine justice for individuals . '' Some passages of Ecclesiastes seem to contradict other portions of the Old Testament , and even itself . One suggestion for resolving the contradictions is to read the book as the record of Kohelet 's quest for knowledge : opposing judgments ( e.g. , `` the dead are better off than the living '' ( 4 : 2 ) vs. `` a living dog is better off than a dead lion '' ( 9 : 4 ) ) are therefore provisional , and it is only at the conclusion that the verdict is delivered ( 11 -- 12 : 7 ) . On this reading , Kohelet 's sayings are goads , designed to provoke dialogue and reflection in his readers , rather than to reach premature and self - assured conclusions . The subjects of Ecclesiastes are the pain and frustration engendered by observing and meditating on the distortions and inequities pervading the world , the uselessness of human deeds , and the limitations of wisdom and righteousness . The phrase `` under the sun '' appears thirty times in connection with these observations ; all this coexists with a firm belief in God , whose power , justice and unpredictability are sovereign . History and nature move in cycles , so that all events are predetermined and unchangeable , and life has no meaning or purpose : the wise man and the man who does not study wisdom will both die and be forgotten : man should be reverent ( `` Fear God '' ) , but in this life it is best to simply enjoy God 's gifts . Judaism ( edit ) In Judaism , Ecclesiastes is read either on Shemini Atzeret ( by Yemenites , Italians , some Sepharadim , and the mediaeval French Jewish rite ) or on the Shabbat of the Intermediate Days of Sukkot ( by Ashkenazim ) . If there is no Intermediate Sabbath of Sukkot , even the Ashkenazim read it on Shemini Atzeret ( or , for Ashkenazim in the Land of Israel , on the first Shabbat of Sukkot ) . It is read on Sukkot as a reminder to not get too caught up in the festivities of the holiday , as well as to carry over the happiness of Sukkot to the rest of the year by telling the listeners that , without God , life is meaningless . When the listeners take this to heart , then true happiness can be achieved throughout the year . The final poem of Kohelet ( Ecclesiastes 12 : 1 -- 8 ) has been interpreted in the Targum , Talmud and Midrash , and by the rabbis Rashi , Rashbam and ibn Ezra , as an allegory of old age . Catholicism ( edit ) Ecclesiastes has been cited in the writings of past and current Catholic Church leaders . For example , doctors of the Church have cited Ecclesiastes . St. Augustine of Hippo cited Ecclesiastes in Book XX of City of God . Saint Jerome wrote a commentary on Ecclesiastes . St. Thomas Aquinas cited Ecclesiastes ( `` The number of fools is infinite . '' ) in his Summa Theologica . The book continues to be cited by recent popes , including Pope John Paul II and Pope Francis . Pope John Paul II , in his general audience of October 20 , 2004 , called the author of Ecclesiastes `` an ancient biblical sage '' whose description of death `` makes frantic clinging to earthly things completely pointless . '' Pope Francis cited Ecclesiastes on his address on September 9 , 2014 . Speaking of vain people , he said , `` How many Christians live for appearances ? Their life seems like a soap bubble . '' Influence on Western literature ( edit ) Ecclesiastes has had a deep influence on Western literature . It contains several phrases that have resonated in British and American culture , such as `` eat , drink and be merry , '' `` nothing new under the sun , '' `` a time to be born and a time to die , '' and `` vanity of vanities ; all is vanity . '' Abraham Lincoln quoted Ecclesiastes 1 : 4 in his address to the reconvening Congress on December 1 , 1862 , during the darkest hours of the American Civil War : `` ' One generation passeth away , and another generation cometh : but the earth abideth for ever . ' ... Our strife pertains to ourselves -- to the passing generations of men ; and it can without convulsion be hushed forever with the passing of one generation . '' American novelist Thomas Wolfe wrote : `` ( O ) f all I have ever seen or learned , that book seems to me the noblest , the wisest , and the most powerful expression of man 's life upon this earth -- and also the highest flower of poetry , eloquence , and truth . I am not given to dogmatic judgments in the matter of literary creation , but if I had to make one I could say that Ecclesiastes is the greatest single piece of writing I have ever known , and the wisdom expressed in it the most lasting and profound . '' The opening of William Shakespeare 's Sonnet 59 references Ecclesiastes 1 : 9 -- 10 . Leo Tolstoy 's Confession describes how the reading of Ecclesiastes affected his life . Robert Burns ' `` Address to the Unco Guid '' begins with a verse appeal to Ecclesiastes 7 : 16 . The title of Ernest Hemingway 's first novel The Sun Also Rises was taken from Ecclesiastes 1 : 5 . The title of Edith Wharton 's novel House of Mirth was taken from Ecclesiastes 7 : 4 ( `` The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning ; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth . '' ) . The title of Laura Lippman 's novel , Every Secret Thing , and of its film adaptation , come from Ecclesiastes 12 : 14 , ( `` For God shall bring every work into judgment , with every secret thing , whether it be good , or whether it be evil . '' ) The main character in George Bernard Shaw 's novel The Adventures of the Black Girl in her Search for God meets Koheleth `` known to many as Ecclesiastes '' . The title and theme of George R. Stewart 's post-apocalyptic novel Earth Abides is from Ecclesiastes 1 : 4 . In the dystopian novel `` Fahrenheit 451 , '' Ray Bradbury 's main character , Montag , memorizes much of Ecclesiastes and Revelation in a world where books are forbidden and burned . Pete Seeger 's cautionary song `` Turn ! Turn ! Turn ! '' takes many of its lyrics from the Book of Ecclesiastes .

The song became the biggest hit from the aforementioned album , reaching the top ten of the US Billboard Hot 100 , peaking at number seven , and reached the second position on the Hot Black Singles chart . It 's chart performance and well - received music video garnered the quintet their first nomination for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals at the 31st Grammy Awards in February 1989 .

-3705518434442659354 | Long Walk to Freedom | Long Walk to Freedom - wikipedia Long Walk to Freedom Jump to : navigation , search For other uses , see Long Walk to Freedom ( disambiguation ) . Long Walk to Freedom Author Nelson Mandela Cover artist Allan Tannenbaum Country United States Language English Subject Autobiography Genre Non-fiction Publisher Macdonald Purnell Publication date Media type Print ( hardback and paperback ) Pages 630 pp ISBN 0 - 316 - 87496 - 5 OCLC 39296287 Long Walk to Freedom is an autobiographical work written by South African President Nelson Mandela , and first published in 1994 by Little Brown & Co . The book profiles his early life , coming of age , education and 27 years in prison . Under the apartheid government , Mandela was regarded as a terrorist and jailed on the infamous Robben Island for his role as a leader of the then - outlawed ANC . He later achieved international recognition for his leadership as president in rebuilding the country 's once segregated society . The last chapters of the book describe his political ascension , and his belief that the struggle still continued against apartheid in South Africa . Mandela dedicated his book to `` my six children , Madiba and Makaziwe ( my first daughter ) who are now deceased , and to Makgatho , Makaziwe , Zenani and Zindzi , whose support and love I treasure ; to my twenty - one grandchildren and three great - grandchildren who give me great pleasure ; and to all my comrades , friends and fellow South Africans whom I serve and whose courage , determination and patriotism remain my source of inspiration . '' Contents ( hide ) 1 Overview 2 Reviews 3 Film adaptation 4 Ghost writer 5 See also 6 References 7 Further reading 8 External links Overview ( edit ) In the first part of the autobiography , Mandela describes his upbringing as a child and adolescent in South Africa , and being connected to the royal Thembu dynasty . His childhood name was Rolihlahla , which is loosely translated as `` pulling the branch of a tree '' , or a euphemism for `` troublemaker '' . Mandela describes his education at a Thembu college called Clarkebury , and later at the strict Healdtown school , where students were rigorously put in routines . He mentions his education at the University of Fort Hare , and his practice of law later on . He also then writes ; `` Democracy meant all men to be heard , and decision was taken together as a people . Majority rule was a foreign notion . A minority was not to be clashed by a majority . '' ( p. 29 ) In the second part of the book , Mandela introduces political and social aspects of apartheid in South Africa , and the influences of politicians such as Daniel François Malan who implemented the nadir of African freedoms , as he officially commenced the apartheid policies . Mandela joined the African National Congress in 1950 and describes his organisation of guerrilla tactics and underground organisations to battle against apartheid . In 1961 , Mandela was convicted for inciting people to strike and leaving the country without a passport and sentenced to five years imprisonment . However , Mandela was shortly thereafter sentenced to life imprisonment for sabotage in what was known as the `` Rivonia Trial '' , by Justice Dr. Quartus de Wet , instead of a possible death sentence . ( p. 159 ) Nelson Mandela 's prison cell on Robben Island Mandela describes prison time on Robben Island and Pollsmoor Prison . His 28 - year tenure in prison was marked by the cruelty of Afrikaner guards , backbreaking labour , and sleeping in minuscule cells which were nearly uninhabitable . Unlike his biographer Anthony Sampson , Mandela does not accuse the warder James Gregory of fabricating a friendship with his prisoner . Gregory 's book Goodbye Bafana discussed Mandela 's family life and described Gregory as a close personal friend of Mandela . According to Mandela : The Authorised Biography , Gregory 's position was to censor the letters delivered to the future president , and he thereby discovered the details of Mandela 's personal life , which he then made money from by means of his book Goodbye Bafana . Mandela considered suing Gregory for this breach of trust . In Long Walk to Freedom Mandela remarks of Gregory only that ' I had not known him terribly well , but he knew us , because he had been responsible for reviewing our incoming and outgoing mail . ' Later on in his sentence , Mandela met South African president , Frederik Willem de Klerk , and was released from prison in 1990 . Unlike his friend Anthony Sampson 's account , Mandela 's book does not discuss the alleged complicity of de Klerk in the violence of the eighties and nineties , or the role of his ex-wife Winnie Mandela in that bloodshed . Mandela became the South African president in 1994 . Reviews ( edit ) The book won the Alan Paton Award in 1995 , and has been published in numerous languages , including an Afrikaans translation by Antjie Krog . Film adaptation ( edit ) Long Walk to Freedom has been adapted into a film titled Mandela : Long Walk to Freedom directed by Justin Chadwick , written by William Nicholson , and produced by Anant Singh . Mandela personally awarded the film rights to the book to Singh 's company some years before 2009 . Singh believes that as the film is based on Mandela 's own writing , it will be the `` definitive '' biopic of him . English actor Idris Elba portrays Mandela in the film . The film was limited released on 29 November 2013 in the United States . Full release happened on Christmas Day 2013 in the United States . When the film was shown in London for Prince William and his wife , Nelson Mandela 's death was announced . Ghost writer ( edit ) In an obituary of Mandela , The Times of London reported that the later chapters had been `` ghosted by a skilful US journalist '' , and that Mandela had later started work on a second set of memoirs without a ghost writer .

Despite the fact that the new Congress and presidential administration did not begin operation until April , March 4 was deemed to be the beginning of the newly elected officials ' terms of office , and thus of the terms of their successors . The Constitution did not specify a date for federal elections , but by the time of the second presidential election in 1792 , Congress had passed a law requiring presidential electors to be chosen during November or early December . By 1845 , this was narrowed to a single day , in early November . Congressional elections were generally held on the same day . The result of these scheduling decisions was that there was a long , four - month lame duck period between the election and inauguration of the president . For Congress , the situation was perhaps even more awkward . Because Article I , Section 4 , Clause 2 mandated a Congressional meeting every December , after the election but before Congressional terms of office had expired , a lame duck session was required by the Constitution in even - numbered years ; the next session was n't required until the next December , meaning that new members of Congress might not begin their work until more than a year after they had been elected . Special sessions sometimes met earlier in the year , but this never became a regular practice , despite the Constitution allowing for it . In practice , Congress usually met in a long session beginning in Decembers of odd - numbered years , and in a short lame duck session in December of even - numbered years . The long lame duck period might have been a practical necessity at the end of the 18th century , when any newly elected official might require several months to put his affairs in order and then undertake an arduous journey from his home to the national capital , but it eventually had the effect of impeding the functioning of government in the modern age . From the early 19th century onward , it also meant that a lame duck Congress and presidential administration would fail to adequately respond to a significant national crisis in a timely manner . Each institution could do this on the theory that at best , a lame duck Congress or administration had neither the time nor the mandate to tackle problems , whereas the incoming administration or Congress would have both the time , and a fresh electoral mandate , to examine and address the problems that the nation faced . These problems very likely would have been at the center of the debate of the just completed election cycle . This dilemma was seen most notably in 1861 and 1933 , after the elections of Abraham Lincoln and Franklin D. Roosevelt , respectively , plus the newly elected Senators and Representatives . Under the Constitution at the time , these presidents had to wait four months before they and the incoming Congresses could deal with the secession of Southern states and the Great Depression respectively . Proposal and ratification ( edit ) The Congress proposed the Twentieth Amendment on March 2 , 1932 , and the following states ratified it : Virginia ( March 4 , 1932 ) New York ( March 11 , 1932 ) Mississippi ( March 16 , 1932 ) Arkansas ( March 17 , 1932 ) Kentucky ( March 17 , 1932 ) New Jersey ( March 21 , 1932 ) South Carolina ( March 25 , 1932 ) Michigan ( March 31 , 1932 ) Maine ( April 1 , 1932 ) Rhode Island ( April 14 , 1932 ) Illinois ( April 21 , 1932 ) Louisiana ( June 22 , 1932 ) West Virginia ( July 30 , 1932 ) Pennsylvania ( August 11 , 1932 ) Indiana ( August 15 , 1932 ) Texas ( September 7 , 1932 ) Alabama ( September 13 , 1932 ) California ( January 4 , 1933 ) North Carolina ( January 5 , 1933 ) North Dakota ( January 9 , 1933 ) Minnesota ( January 12 , 1933 ) Arizona ( January 13 , 1933 ) Montana ( January 13 , 1933 ) Nebraska ( January 13 , 1933 ) Oklahoma ( January 13 , 1933 ) Kansas ( January 16 , 1933 ) Oregon ( January 16 , 1933 ) Delaware ( January 19 , 1933 ) Washington ( January 19 , 1933 ) Wyoming ( January 19 , 1933 ) Iowa ( January 20 , 1933 ) South Dakota ( January 20 , 1933 ) Tennessee ( January 20 , 1933 ) Idaho ( January 21 , 1933 ) New Mexico ( January 21 , 1933 ) Missouri ( January 23 , 1933 ) Missouri was the 36th state to ratify , satisfying the requirement that three - fourths of the then 48 states approve the amendment . The amendment was subsequently ratified by the following states : Georgia ( January 23 , 1933 ) Ohio ( January 23 , 1933 ) Utah ( January 23 , 1933 ) Massachusetts ( January 24 , 1933 ) Wisconsin ( January 24 , 1933 ) Colorado ( January 24 , 1933 ) Nevada ( January 26 , 1933 ) Connecticut ( January 27 , 1933 ) New Hampshire ( January 31 , 1933 ) Vermont ( February 2 , 1933 ) Maryland ( March 24 , 1933 ) Florida ( April 26 , 1933 ) Effect of the Amendment ( edit ) Section 1 of the Twentieth Amendment moved the beginning of the presidential and vice presidential terms from March 4 to noon on January 20 , reducing by about six weeks the time when the incumbent president and vice president would be serving as lame ducks . Section 1 also moved the start of congressional terms from March 4 to noon on January 3 . Section 2 moved the start of congressional sessions from the first Monday in December to noon on January 3 of the same year . This removed the requirement for a lame duck session , but Congress still normally meets in December of election years . Because of Section 2 , if the Electoral College fails to resolve who will be the president or vice president , the incoming Congress , as opposed to the outgoing one , would choose who would occupy the unresolved office or offices . The first congressional terms to begin under Section 1 were those of the 74th Congress , on January 3 , 1935 . The first presidential and vice presidential terms to begin under Section 1 were the second terms of President Roosevelt and Vice President Garner , on January 20 , 1937 . Section 3 provides that if the president - elect dies before Inauguration Day , the vice president - elect will be sworn in as president on that day . If there is no president - elect , or the president - elect fails to meet all of the Constitution 's qualifications to be president , Section 3 provides that the vice president - elect would become acting president on Inauguration Day until there is a president who does qualify . Section 3 also allows Congress to determine who should be acting president if a new president and vice president have not been chosen by Inauguration Day . The Constitution was originally silent on this point , an omission that nearly caused a constitutional crisis when Congress seemed deadlocked in resolving the election of 1800 . On February 15 , 1933 , twenty - three days after the amendment was adopted , President -- elect Roosevelt was the target of an assassination attempt by Giuseppe Zangara . Roosevelt was not injured , but pursuant to Section 3 Vice President - elect Garner would have become president on March 4 , 1933 had the attempt been successful . Section 4 permits Congress to pass a law that clarifies what should occur if either the House of Representatives must elect the president and one of the candidates from whom it may choose dies , or the Senate must elect the vice president and one of the candidates from whom it may choose dies . Congress has never enacted such a statute . The amendment was adopted on January 23 , 1933 . Pursuant to Section 5 , the changes made by Sections 1 and 2 took effect on October 15 , 1933 . This delay resulted in the start of congressional terms in 1933 , and the first inauguration of President Roosevelt and Vice President John N. Garner , taking place on March 4 , 1933 . Section 5 also resulted in the 73rd Congress not being required to meet until January 3 , 1934 . Therefore , pursuant to a presidential proclamation , a special 100 - day session of Congress was convened from March 9 to June 16 , 1933 .

The single reached number one on both the Billboard Hot 100 and Cash Box Top 100 charts , remaining in the top position for one week . It reached number two on the former chart for four weeks , stuck behind Gilbert O'Sullivan 's `` Alone Again ( Naturally ) '' , before reaching number one , only for `` Brandy '' to be dethroned by `` Alone Again ( Naturally ) '' the week after . Billboard ranked it as the 12th song of 1972 . Horns and strings were arranged by Larry Fallon . Contents 1 Song info 1.1 Synopsis 1.2 Before and after 1.3 Barry Manilow 's `` Mandy '' 1.4 In other media 1.5 Name popularity effect 1.6 Cover versions 2 Personnel 3 Chart performance 3.1 Weekly charts 3.2 Year - end charts 4 References 5 External links Song info ( edit ) Synopsis ( edit ) The lyrics tell of Brandy , a barmaid in a busy western seaport harbor town which serves `` a hundred ships a day . '' Though lonely sailors flirt with her , she pines for one who 's long since left her because he claimed his life , his love , and his lady , was `` the sea . '' The urban myth that Brandy was based on Mary Ellis ( 1750 -- 1828 ) , a spinster in New Brunswick , New Jersey , has been refuted by Lurie himself . Lurie also refutes the suggestion that the song was written by songwriter Stephen Homner , and eventually sold to Elliot Lurie after Lurie expressed interest in the song . Before and after ( edit ) In February 1972 , Robert Mandel was the Epic Records Promotion Manager in Washington , D.C. He received a test pressing of an album by a new group named `` Looking Glass '' . He took the test pressing around to every radio station in the Washington / Baltimore region . At the time , WPGC AM / FM was one of the leading Top 40 stations in the country and was the number one radio station in DC . Harv Moore was the Program Director . He put the song into a one - hour rotation for two days and as Harv related at the time , `` the switchboard lit up like a Christmas tree '' . He said that he had never received a response like that on a record in his 15 years in radio . Based on the airplay at WPGC and all the other Top 40 stations that followed , Epic rush - released the single of `` Brandy '' . Based on requests alone , two weeks later , when the single finally hit the stores , `` Brandy '' was the number one record in DC without a single copy yet sold . Other stations around the country started playing it and it ended up being a number one million seller . A year later when Harv celebrated his 10th Anniversary at WPGC , Looking Glass returned the favor and played at the bash the station held in his honor . Barry Manilow 's `` Mandy '' ( edit ) Barry Manilow 's 1974 `` Mandy '' was a cover of a song originally titled `` Brandy '' , released in February 1972 by Scott English ; however , Manilow changed the title following the success of the Looking Glass single , so as not to get the two songs confused . This song is not related to the song by Looking Glass . In other media ( edit ) This song was used in the films Lords of Dogtown , Say Anything ... , Charlie 's Angels , A Very Brady Sequel , and Lymelife . It was also used in an episode of the 2009 television show Harper 's Island , and it can be heard in the background in a scene set in the longshoremen 's bar in Season 2 of The Wire . A Beautiful Music instrumental version can be heard in the background when Chris Knight is touring his potential future employer in the film Real Genius . In The Simpsons episode `` Principal Charming '' , Selma sings the song ( using a slower , mournful tempo and tone ) to Lisa as she is putting her to bed . In TV series companion book `` The Simpsons Uncensored Family Album '' Marge wrote that her paternal grandmother once told her that the song `` Brandy '' was based on Marge 's paternal grandfather 's life . Doug Heffernan ( Kevin James ) sings this song at karaoke in an episode of The King of Queens . The song appears in the computer game Tropico 2 : Pirate Cove , which takes place in a user - created seaside pirate town . One of the citizens ' thoughts is `` Brandy , you 're a good girl . You 'll do fine ! '' On the album Silver City by Sarah Borges , the song `` Same Old 45 '' retells the story of Brandy from her point of view . Fantasy author Alex Bledsoe used Brandy 's name and the song 's story for his novel Wake of the Bloody Angel . Paul Stanley of the rock band KISS wrote that Brandy helped inspire the band 's hit Hard Luck Woman in his 2014 memoir Face the Music : A Life Exposed . The song was ranked number 13 out of the top 76 songs of the 1970s by internet radio station WDDF Radio in their 2016 countdown . The song is included on the soundtrack of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 . It appears in the opening scene and again in a scene on Ego the Living Planet , when Ego uses the lyrics as metaphor to explain his experience as a cosmos - wandering Celestial who fell in love with Peter Quill 's mother on Earth . Ego called the song `` one of Earth 's greatest musical compositions , perhaps the greatest . '' Name popularity effect ( edit ) Following the song 's release in 1972 , `` Brandy '' increased in popularity as a girl 's name in the United States . According to data from the Social Security Administration , drawn from `` Social Security card applications for births that occurred in the United States , '' Brandy was the 353rd most popular name in 1971 , 140th in 1972 , and , in 1973 ( the first full year after the song 's popularity ) , 82nd . Cover versions ( edit ) Red Hot Chili Peppers performed a cover version of the song on their Live in Hyde Park album and during their 2004 tour . They again performed it in May 2017 for the first time in twelve years . Washboard Jungle often performs this song as an encore , and recorded it on their 1994 album The Wash Cycle . They play it considerably faster than either the original or the Chili Peppers version . Kenny Chesney performed a cover version for the Target Bonus Tracks on his 2005 album The Road and the Radio . Gonzalez performed a cover of this song released as a single on the EMI label . Ray Conniff and His Singers covered the song on the 1972 album Alone Again ( Naturally ) .

The 2016 event was won by Alexander Norén at Castle Stuart , northeast of Inverness . In 2017 the Scottish Open became one of the European Tour Rolex Series events , joining the BMW PGA Championship , Open de France , Irish Open , Italian Open , Turkish Airlines Open , Nedbank Golf Challenge , and DP World Tour Championship . The Rolex Series tournaments each have a prize fund of at least $ 7 million . Since 1987 it has been played the week before the Open Championship and has , together with John Deere Classic , been the last chance to qualify for the championship . It has been part of the Open Qualifying Series since that series started in 2014 . The leading 3 or 4 players , not already qualified , have received an entry to the Open . Before 2014 there was generally an exemption category so that the leading player or players , not already qualified , could play in the Open .

Total prize money was £ 750 . The R&A objected to the use of the term `` Championship '' being used for a tournament organised by a private enterprise . Percy Alliss won the tournament by 4 strokes from Jack Busson with an aggregate of 273 . The 1936 tournament was sponsored by Penfold and known as the Penfold Scottish Open . Penfold had sponsored tournaments in Wales and England from 1932 to 1934 . The tournament was played at Ayr Belleisle Golf Club . Total prize money was again £ 750 . After 72 holes Jimmy Adams and Tom Collinge tied on 287 . In the 36 - hole playoff , Adams had rounds of 68 and 69 and won by 11 strokes . It was intended to hold the 1937 Penfold Scottish Open in the Carnoustie area , just before the 1937 Open Championship which was to be played there . The R&A objected to the arrangement and the event was cancelled . Penfold resumed their golf sponsorship with the Penfold Professional Golf League in 1938 . 1972 and 1973 ( edit ) The first Sunbeam Electric Scottish Open was held in 1972 at Downfield Golf Club near Dundee . Neil Coles beat Brian Huggett at the second hole of a sudden - death playoff , holing a 12 - foot putt . Total prize money was £ 10,000 with a first prize of £ 2,000 . Sunbeam Electric had sponsored the Sunbeam Electric Tournament in 1971 . In 1973 the event was played on the Old Course at St Andrews . Graham Marsh won by 6 strokes from Peter Oosterhuis . Total prize money was increased to £ 15,000 with a first prize of £ 2,500 . Both 1972 and 1973 tournaments were broadcast extensively on ITV . 1986 revival ( edit ) The event returned to the European Tour calendar in 1986 , replacing the Glasgow Open which had been held at Haggs Castle Golf Club from 1983 to 1985 . The tournament , sponsored by Bell 's , was held in August at Haggs Castle in its first year back . The following year it moved to Gleneagles and was played the week before the Open Championship . It remained at Gleneagles until Bell 's withdrew their sponsorship in 1994 following the switch of TV coverage from BBC to SKY that year . In 1995 and 1996 it was held , without a sponsor , at Carnoustie . The 1986 event had prize money of £ 130,000 with a first prize of £ 21,660 . This rose to £ 200,000 with a first prize of £ 33,330 for the 1987 event at Gleneagles . This had risen to £ 600,000 and a first prize of £ 100,000 for the 1992 tournament . Despite the loss of Bell 's sponsorship the prize money increased to £ 650,000 in 1995 but , with the event losing money , this was reduced to £ 480,000 in 1996 . Loch Lomond ( edit ) From 1997 the Scottish Open 's pre-Open place on the European Tour schedule was taken by the Loch Lomond World Invitational , which had been first held at Loch Lomond Golf Club in September 1996 . The top - 60 in the World Rankings were invited but few non-Europeans entered . The event was broadcast by the BBC . From 1997 to 2000 the Loch Lomond event was played the week before the Open Championship . These events did not use the Scottish Open name , the rights to which were owned by ISM . From 2001 , it was decided that the Loch Lomond event would be known as the Scottish Open , and all prior editions would be granted Scottish Open status . This resulted in the anomaly of there being two events in 1996 . The 1996 event had a first prize of £ 125,000 , rising to £ 133,330 in 1997 and £ 183,330 by 2000 . The 2001 event was run without a main sponsor but from 2002 it was known as the Barclays Scottish Open , and was played at Loch Lomond until 2010 . Some concern was expressed that the course , which is very different from the links courses on which the Open Championship is played , put European Tour players at a disadvantage compared to their leading rivals from the PGA Tour , who traditionally spent a week practising for the Open on links courses in Ireland . Links courses ( edit ) In 2011 it was held at Castle Stuart Golf Links , near Inverness , due to the financial difficulties being suffered by Loch Lomond . Play was reduced to 54 holes ( three rounds ) in the tournament due to heavy rain , which caused flooding and landslides . Aberdeen Asset Management took over sponsorship in 2013 , but the event remained at Castle Stuart in 2012 and 2013 before moving to Royal Aberdeen Golf Club in 2014 . It was played at Gullane Golf Club in 2015 and at Castle Stuart Golf Links in 2016 . In 2016 , the attendance figures at Castle Stuart were disappointing , with a reduction of more than 20,000 to 41,809 over the four tournament days . In 2017 it was held in Ayrshire , for the first time in its current guise , at Dundonald Links .

At the start of the war , the French colonies had a population of roughly 60,000 settlers , compared with 2 million in the British colonies . The outnumbered French particularly depended on the Indians . The European nations declared a wider war upon one another overseas in 1756 , two years into the French and Indian war , and some view the French and Indian War as being merely the American theater of the worldwide Seven Years ' War of 1756 -- 63 ; however , the French and Indian War is viewed in America as a singular conflict which was not associated with any European war . The name French and Indian War is used mainly in the United States , referring to the two enemies of the British colonists , while European historians use the term the Seven Years ' War , as do English - speaking Canadians . French Canadians call it Guerre de la Conquête ( the War of the Conquest ) or ( rarely ) the Fourth Intercolonial War . The British colonists were supported at various times by the Iroquois , Catawba , and Cherokee , and the French colonists were supported by Wabanaki Confederacy members Abenaki and Mi'kmaq , and Algonquin , Lenape , Ojibwa , Ottawa , Shawnee , and Wyandot . Fighting took place primarily along the frontiers between New France and the British colonies , from Virginia in the south to Newfoundland in the north . It began with a dispute over control of the confluence of the Allegheny River and Monongahela River called the Forks of the Ohio , and the site of the French Fort Duquesne in Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania . The dispute erupted into violence in the Battle of Jumonville Glen in May 1754 , during which Virginia militiamen under the command of 22 year - old George Washington ambushed a French patrol . In 1755 , six colonial governors in North America met with General Edward Braddock , the newly arrived British Army commander , and planned a four - way attack on the French . None succeeded , and the main effort by Braddock proved a disaster ; he lost the Battle of the Monongahela on July 9 , 1755 and died a few days later . British operations failed in the frontier areas of the Province of Pennsylvania and the Province of New York during 1755 -- 57 due to a combination of poor management , internal divisions , effective Canadian scouts , French regular forces , and Indian warrior allies . In 1755 , the British captured Fort Beauséjour on the border separating Nova Scotia from Acadia , and they ordered the expulsion of the Acadians ( 1755 -- 64 ) soon afterwards . Orders for the deportation were given by William Shirley , Commander - in - Chief , North America , without direction from Great Britain . The Acadians were expelled , both those captured in arms and those who had sworn the loyalty oath to His Britannic Majesty . Indians likewise were driven off the land to make way for settlers from New England . The British colonial government fell in the region of Nova Scotia after several disastrous campaigns in 1757 , including a failed expedition against Louisbourg and the Siege of Fort William Henry ; this last was followed by Indians torturing and massacring their British victims . William Pitt came to power and significantly increased British military resources in the colonies at a time when France was unwilling to risk large convoys to aid the limited forces that they had in New France , preferring to concentrate their forces against Prussia and its allies who were now engaged in the Seven Years ' War in Europe . Between 1758 and 1760 , the British military launched a campaign to capture the Colony of Canada ( part of New France ) . They succeeded in capturing territory in surrounding colonies and ultimately the city of Quebec ( 1759 ) . The British later lost the Battle of Sainte - Foy west of Quebec ( 1760 ) , but the French ceded Canada in accordance with the Treaty of Paris ( 1763 ) . France ceded its territory east of the Mississippi to Great Britain . It ceded French Louisiana west of the Mississippi River ( including New Orleans ) to its ally Spain in compensation for Spain 's loss to Britain of Spanish Florida . ( Spain had ceded Florida to Britain in exchange for the return of Havana , Cuba . ) France 's colonial presence north of the Caribbean was reduced to the islands of Saint Pierre and Miquelon , confirming Great Britain 's position as the dominant colonial power in America .

There had already been a King George 's War in the 1740s during the reign of King George II , so British colonists named this conflict after their opponents , and it became known as the French and Indian War . This continues as the standard name for the war in the United States , although Indians fought on both sides of the conflict . It also led into the Seven Years ' War overseas , a much larger conflict between France and Great Britain that did not involve the American colonies ; some historians make a connection between the French and Indian War and the Seven Years ' War overseas , but most residents of the United States consider them as two separate conflicts -- only one of which involved the American colonies , and American historians generally use the traditional name . Less frequently used names for the war include the Fourth Intercolonial War and the Great War for the Empire . In Europe , the French and Indian War is conflated into the Seven Years ' War and not given a separate name . `` Seven Years '' refers to events in Europe , from the official declaration of war in 1756 -- two years after the French and Indian War had started -- to the signing of the peace treaty in 1763 . The French and Indian War in America , by contrast , was largely concluded in six years from the Battle of Jumonville Glen in 1754 to the capture of Montreal in 1760 . Canadians conflate both the European and American conflicts into the Seven Years ' War ( Guerre de Sept Ans ) . French Canadians also use the term `` War of Conquest '' ( Guerre de la Conquête ) , since it is the war in which Canada was conquered by the British and became part of the British Empire . In Quebec , this term was promoted by popular historians Jacques Lacoursière and Denis Vaugeois , who borrowed from the ideas of Maurice Séguin in considering this war as a dramatic tipping point of French Canadian identity and nationhood . America in the 1750s Map showing the 1750 possessions of Britain ( pink ) , France ( blue ) , and Spain ( green ) in America At this time , America east of the Mississippi River was largely claimed by either Great Britain or France . Large areas had no colonial settlements . The French population numbered about 75,000 and was heavily concentrated along the St. Lawrence River valley , with some also in Acadia ( present - day New Brunswick and parts of Nova Scotia ) , including Île Royale ( Cape Breton Island ) . Fewer lived in New Orleans , Biloxi , Mississippi , Mobile , Alabama , and small settlements in the Illinois Country , hugging the east side of the Mississippi River and its tributaries . French fur traders and trappers traveled throughout the St. Lawrence and Mississippi watersheds , did business with local Indian tribes , and often married Indian women . Traders married daughters of chiefs , creating high - ranking unions . British settlers outnumbered the French 20 to 1 with a population of about 1.5 million ranged along the eastern coast of the continent from Nova Scotia and the Colony of Newfoundland in the north to the Province of Georgia in the south . Many of the older colonies had land claims that extended arbitrarily far to the west , as the extent of the continent was unknown at the time when their provincial charters were granted . Their population centers were along the coast , yet the settlements were growing into the interior . Nova Scotia had been captured from France in 1713 , and it still had a significant French - speaking population . Britain also claimed Rupert 's Land where the Hudson 's Bay Company traded for furs with local Indian tribes . Iroquois engaging in trade with colonists , 1722 In between the French and British colonists , large areas were dominated by Indian tribes . To the north , the Mi'kmaqs and the Abenakis were engaged in Father Le Loutre 's War and still held sway in parts of Nova Scotia , Acadia , and the eastern portions of the province of Canada , as well as much of Maine . The Iroquois Confederation dominated much of upstate New York and the Ohio Country , although Ohio also included Algonquian - speaking populations of Delaware and Shawnee , as well as Iroquoian - speaking Mingos . These tribes were formally under Iroquois rule and were limited by them in their authority to make agreements . The Southeast interior was dominated by Siouan - speaking Catawbas , Muskogee - speaking Creeks and Choctaw , and the Iroquoian - speaking Cherokee tribes . When war broke out , the French colonists used their trading connections to recruit fighters from tribes in western portions of the Great Lakes region , which was not directly subject to the conflict between the French and British ; these included the Hurons , Mississaugs , Ojibwas , Winnebagos , and Potawatomi . The British colonists were supported in the war by the Iroquois Six Nations and also by the Cherokees , until differences sparked the Anglo - Cherokee War in 1758 . In 1758 , the Province of Pennsylvania successfully negotiated the Treaty of Easton in which a number of tribes in the Ohio Country promised neutrality in exchange for land concessions and other considerations . Most of the other northern tribes sided with the French , their primary trading partner and supplier of arms . The Creeks and Cherokees were subject to diplomatic efforts by both the French and British to gain either their support or neutrality in the conflict . New York and Pennsylvania theaters of the war , image from 1905 By this time , Spain claimed only the province of Florida in eastern America ; it controlled Cuba and other territories in the West Indies that became military objectives in the Seven Years ' War . Florida 's European population was a few hundred , concentrated in St. Augustine and Pensacola . At the start of the war , no French regular army troops were stationed in America , and few British troops . New France was defended by about 3,000 troupes de la marine , companies of colonial regulars ( some of whom had significant woodland combat experience ) . The colonial government recruited militia support when needed . Most of the British colonies mustered local militia companies to deal with Indian threats , generally ill trained and available only for short periods , but they did not have any standing forces . Virginia , by contrast , had a large frontier with several companies of British regulars . The colonial governments were used to operating independently of one another and of the government in London , a situation that complicated negotiations with Indian tribes , whose territories often encompassed land claimed by multiple colonies . After the war began , the leaders of the British Army establishment tried to impose constraints and demands on the colonial administrations . Events leading to War Céloron 's expedition New France 's Governor - General Roland - Michel Barrin de La Galissonière was concerned about the incursion and expanding influence in the Ohio Country of British colonial traders such as George Croghan . In June 1747 , he ordered Pierre - Joseph Céloron to lead a military expedition through the area . Its objectives were : to reaffirm to New France 's Indian allies that their trading arrangements with colonists were exclusive to those authorized by New France to confirm Indian assistance in asserting and maintaining the French claim to the territories which French explorers had claimed to discourage any alliances between Britain and local Indian tribes to impress the Indians with a French show of force against British colonial settler incursion , unauthorized trading expeditions , and general trespass against French claims Céloron 's expedition force consisted of about 200 Troupes de la marine and 30 Indians , and they covered about 3,000 miles ( 4,800 km ) between June and November 1749 . They went up the St. Lawrence , continued along the northern shore of Lake Ontario , crossed the portage at Niagara , and followed the southern shore of Lake Erie . At the Chautauqua Portage near Barcelona , New York , the expedition moved inland to the Allegheny River , which it followed to the site of Pittsburgh . There Céloron buried lead plates engraved with the French claim to the Ohio Country . Whenever he encountered British colonial merchants or fur - traders , he informed them of the French claims on the territory and told them to leave . Céloron 's expedition arrived at Logstown where the Indians in the area informed him that they owned the Ohio Country and that they would trade with the British colonists regardless of the French . He continued south until his expedition reached the confluence of the Ohio and the Miami rivers , which lay just south of the village of Pickawillany , the home of the Miami chief known as `` Old Briton '' . Céloron threatened Old Briton with severe consequences if he continued to trade with British colonists , but Old Briton ignored the warning . Céloron returned disappointedly to Montreal in November 1749 . Céloron wrote an extensively detailed report . `` All I can say is that the Natives of these localities are very badly disposed towards the French , '' he wrote , `` and are entirely devoted to the English . I do n't know in what way they could be brought back . '' Even before his return to Montreal , reports on the situation in the Ohio Country were making their way to London and Paris , each side proposing that action be taken . Massachusetts governor William Shirley was particularly forceful , stating that British colonists would not be safe as long as the French were present . Negotiations In 1749 , the British government gave land to the Ohio Company of Virginia for the purpose of developing trade and settlements in the Ohio Country . The grant required that it settle 100 families in the territory and construct a fort for their protection . But the territory was also claimed by Pennsylvania , and both colonies began pushing for action to improve their respective claims . In 1750 , Christopher Gist explored the Ohio territory , acting on behalf of both Virginia and the company , and he opened negotiations with the Indian tribes at Logstown . He completed the 1752 Treaty of Logstown in which the local Indians agreed to terms through their `` Half - King '' Tanacharison and an Iroquois representative . These terms included permission to build a strong house at the mouth of the Monongahela River on the modern site of Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania . By the late 17th century , the Iroquois had pushed many tribes out of the Ohio Valley , and they laid claim to it as their hunting ground by right of conquest . The War of the Austrian Succession ( better known as King George 's War ) formally ended in 1748 with the signing of the Treaty of Aix - la - Chapelle , which was primarily focused on resolving issues in Europe . The issues of conflicting territorial claims between British and French colonies were turned over to a commission , but it reached no decision . Frontier areas were claimed by both sides , from Nova Scotia and Acadia in the north to the Ohio Country in the south . The disputes also extended into the Atlantic Ocean , where both powers wanted access to the rich fisheries of the Grand Banks off Newfoundland . Attack on Pickawillany Main article : Raid on Pickawillany Governor - General of New France Marquis de la Jonquière died on March 17 , 1752 , and he was temporarily replaced by Charles le Moyne de Longueuil . His permanent replacement was to be the Marquis Duquesne , but he did not arrive in New France until 1752 to take over the post . The continuing British activity in the Ohio territories prompted Longueuil to dispatch another expedition to the area under the command of Charles Michel de Langlade , an officer in the Troupes de la Marine . Langlade was given 300 men , including French - Canadians and warriors of the Ottawa tribe . His objective was to punish the Miami people of Pickawillany for not following Céloron 's orders to cease trading with the British . On June 21 , the French war party attacked the trading centre at Pickawillany , capturing three traders and killing 14 Miami Indians , including Old Briton . He was reportedly ritually cannibalized by some Indians in the expedition party . French Fort construction This section needs additional citations for verification .

( April 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) In the spring of 1753 , Paul Marin de la Malgue was given command of a 2,000 - man force of Troupes de la Marine and Indians . His orders were to protect the King 's land in the Ohio Valley from the British . Marin followed the route that Céloron had mapped out four years earlier . Céloron , however , had limited the record of French claims to the burial of lead plates , whereas Marin constructed and garrisoned forts . He first constructed Fort Presque Isle on Lake Erie 's south shore near Erie , Pennsylvania , and he had a road built to the headwaters of LeBoeuf Creek . He then constructed a second fort at Fort Le Boeuf in Waterford , Pennsylvania , designed to guard the headwaters of LeBoeuf Creek . As he moved south , he drove off or captured British traders , alarming both the British and the Iroquois . Tanaghrisson was a chief of the Mingo Indians , who were remnants of Iroquois and other tribes who had been driven west by colonial expansion . He intensely disliked the French whom he accused of killing and eating his father . He traveled to Fort Le Boeuf and threatened the French with military action , which Marin contemptuously dismissed . The Iroquois sent runners to the manor of William Johnson in upstate New York , who was the British Superintendent for Indian Affairs in the New York region and beyond . Johnson was known to the Iroquois as Warraghiggey , meaning `` he who does great things . '' He spoke their languages and had become a respected honorary member of the Iroquois Confederacy in the area , and he was made a colonel of the Iroquois in 1746 ; he was later commissioned as a colonel of the Western New York Militia . The Indian representatives and Johnson met with Governor Clinton and officials from some of the other American colonies at Albany , New York . Mohawk Chief Hendrick was the speaker of their tribal council , and he insisted that the British abide by their obligations and block French expansion . Clinton did not respond to his satisfaction , and Hendrick said that the `` Covenant Chain '' was broken , a long - standing friendly relationship between the Iroquois Confederacy and the British Crown . Virginia 's response Robert Dinwiddie , British lieutenant governor of Virginia Governor Robert Dinwiddie of Virginia was an investor in the Ohio Company , which stood to lose money if the French held their claim . He ordered 21 year - old Major George Washington ( whose brother was another Ohio Company investor ) of the Virginia Regiment to warn the French to leave Virginia territory in October 1753 . Washington left with a small party , picking up Jacob Van Braam as an interpreter , Christopher Gist ( a company surveyor working in the area ) , and a few Mingos led by Tanaghrisson . On December 12 , Washington and his men reached Fort Le Boeuf . Jacques Legardeur de Saint - Pierre succeeded Marin as commander of the French forces after Marin died on October 29 , and he invited Washington to dine with him . Over dinner , Washington presented Saint - Pierre with the letter from Dinwiddie demanding an immediate French withdrawal from the Ohio Country . Saint - Pierre said , `` As to the Summons you send me to retire , I do not think myself obliged to obey it . '' He told Washington that France 's claim to the region was superior to that of the British , since René - Robert Cavelier , Sieur de La Salle had explored the Ohio Country nearly a century earlier . Washington 's party left Fort Le Boeuf early on December 16 and arrived in Williamsburg on January 16 , 1754 . He stated in his report , `` The French had swept south '' , detailing the steps which they had taken to fortify the area , and their intention to fortify the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers . Course of the War Washington 's map of the Ohio River and surrounding region containing notes on French intentions , 1753 or 1754 Even before Washington returned , Dinwiddie had sent a company of 40 men under William Trent to that point where they began construction of a small stockaded fort in the early months of 1754 . Governor Duquesne sent additional French forces under Claude - Pierre Pecaudy de Contrecœur to relieve Saint - Pierre during the same period , and Contrecœur led 500 men south from Fort Venango on April 5 , 1754 . These forces arrived at the fort on April 16 , but Contrecœur generously allowed Trent 's small company to withdraw . He purchased their construction tools to continue building what became Fort Duquesne . Battle of Jumonville Glen Dinwiddie had ordered Washington to lead a larger force to assist Trent in his work , and Washington learned of Trent 's retreat while he was en route . Mingo sachem Tanaghrisson had promised support to the British , so Washington continued toward Fort Duquesne and met with him . He then learned of a French scouting party in the area , so he combined Tanaghrisson 's force with his own and surprised the Canadians on May 28 in what became known as the Battle of Jumonville Glen . They killed many of the Canadians , including their commanding officer Joseph Coulon de Jumonville , whose head was reportedly split open by Tanaghrisson with a tomahawk . Historian Fred Anderson suggests that Tanaghrisson was acting to gain the support of the British and to regain authority over his own people . They had been inclined to support the French , with whom they had long trading relationships . One of Tanaghrisson 's men told Contrecoeur that Jumonville had been killed by British musket fire . Historians generally consider the Battle of Jumonville Glen as the opening battle of the French and Indian War in North America , and the start of hostilities in the Ohio valley . An engraving depicting the evening council of George Washington at Fort Necessity Following the battle , Washington pulled back several miles and established Fort Necessity , which the Canadians attacked under the command of Jummonville 's brother at the Battle of Fort Necessity on July 3 . Washington surrendered and negotiated a withdrawal under arms . One of his men reported that the Canadian force was accompanied by Shawnee , Delaware , and Mingo warriors -- just those whom Tanaghrisson was seeking to influence . The earliest authenticated portrait of George Washington shows him wearing his colonel 's uniform of the Virginia Regiment . This portrait was painted in 1772 by Charles Willson Peale . News of the two battles reached England in August . After several months of negotiations , the government of the Duke of Newcastle decided to send an army expedition the following year to dislodge the French . They chose Major General Edward Braddock to lead the expedition . Word of the British military plans leaked to France well before Braddock 's departure for North America . In response , King Louis XV dispatched six regiments to New France under the command of Baron Dieskau in 1755 . The British sent out their fleet in February 1755 , intending to blockade French ports , but the French fleet had already sailed . Admiral Edward Hawke detached a fast squadron to North America in an attempt to intercept them . In a second British action , Admiral Edward Boscawen fired on the French ship Alcide on June 8 , 1755 , capturing her and two troop ships . The British harassed French shipping throughout 1755 , seizing ships and capturing seamen . These actions contributed to the eventual formal declarations of war in spring 1756 . Albany congress An early important political response to the opening of hostilities was the convening of the Albany Congress in June and July , 1754 . The goal of the congress was to formalize a unified front in trade and negotiations with various Indians , since allegiance of the various tribes and nations was seen to be pivotal in the war that was unfolding . The plan that the delegates agreed to was neither ratified by the colonial legislatures nor approved of by the crown . Nevertheless , the format of the congress and many specifics of the plan became the prototype for confederation during the War of Independence . British campaigns , 1755 Locations of British campaigns 1755 ( and other sites ) The British formed an aggressive plan of operations for 1755 . General Braddock was to lead the expedition to Fort Duquesne , while Massachusetts governor William Shirley was given the task of fortifying Fort Oswego and attacking Fort Niagara . Sir William Johnson was to capture Fort St. Frédéric at Crown Point , New York , and Lieutenant Colonel Robert Monckton was to capture Fort Beauséjour to the east on the frontier between Nova Scotia and Acadia . Braddock led about 1,500 army troops and provincial militia on the Braddock expedition in June 1755 to take Fort Duquesne , with George Washington as one of his aides . The expedition was a disaster . It was attacked by French soldiers and Indian warriors ambushing them from hiding places up in trees and behind logs , and Braddock called for a retreat . He was killed and approximately 1,000 British soldiers were killed or injured . The remaining 500 British troops retreated to Virginia , led by Washington . Washington and Thomas Gage played key roles in organizing the retreat -- two future opponents in the American Revolutionary War . The government initiated a plan to increase their military capability in preparation for war following news of Braddock 's defeat and the start of parliament 's session in November 1755 . Among the early legislative measures were the Recruiting Act 1756 , the Commissions to Foreign Protestants Act 1756 for the Royal American Regiment , the Navigation Act 1756 , and the Continuance of Acts 1756 . England passed the Naval Prize Act 1756 following the proclamation of war on May 17 to allow the capture of ships and establish privateering . The French acquired a copy of the British war plans , including the activities of Shirley and Johnson . Shirley 's efforts to fortify Oswego were bogged down in logistical difficulties , exacerbated by his inexperience in managing large expeditions . In conjunction , he was made aware that the French were massing for an attack on Fort Oswego in his absence when he planned to attack Fort Niagara . As a response , he left garrisons at Oswego , Fort Bull , and Fort Williams , the last two located on the Oneida Carry between the Mohawk River and Wood Creek at Rome , New York . Supplies were cached at Fort Bull for use in the projected attack on Niagara . William Johnson saving Baron Deskiau Johnson 's expedition was better organized than Shirley 's , which was noticed by New France 's governor the Marquis de Vaudreuil . He had been concerned about the extended supply line to the forts on the Ohio , and he had sent Baron Dieskau to lead the defenses at Frontenac against Shirley 's expected attack . Vaudreuil saw Johnson as the larger threat and sent Dieskau to Fort St. Frédéric to meet that threat . Dieskau planned to attack the British encampment at Fort Edward at the upper end of navigation on the Hudson River , but Johnson had strongly fortified it , and Dieskau 's Indian support was reluctant to attack . The two forces finally met in the bloody Battle of Lake George between Fort Edward and Fort William Henry . The battle ended inconclusively , with both sides withdrawing from the field . Johnson 's advance stopped at Fort William Henry , and the French withdrew to Ticonderoga Point , where they began the construction of Fort Carillon ( later renamed Fort Ticonderoga after the British captured it in 1759 ) . Colonel Monckton captured Fort Beauséjour in June 1755 in the sole British success that year , cutting off the French Fortress Louisbourg from land - based reinforcements . To cut vital supplies to Louisbourg , Nova Scotia 's Governor Charles Lawrence ordered the deportation of the French - speaking Acadian population from the area . Monckton 's forces , including companies of Rogers ' Rangers , forcibly removed thousands of Acadians , chasing down many who resisted and sometimes committing atrocities . Cutting off supplies to Louisbourg led to its demise . The Acadian resistance was sometimes quite stiff , in concert with Indian allies including the Mi'kmaq , with ongoing frontier raids against Dartmouth and Lunenburg , among others . The only clashes of any size were at Petitcodiac in 1755 and at Bloody Creek near Annapolis Royal in 1757 , other than the campaigns to expel the Acadians ranging around the Bay of Fundy , on the Petitcodiac and St. John rivers , and Île Saint - Jean . French victories , 1756 -- 1757 See also : Franco - Indian alliance Conference between the French and Indian leaders around a ceremonial fire , by Émile Louis Vernier Following the death of Braddock , William Shirley assumed command of British forces in North America , and he laid out his plans for 1756 at a meeting in Albany in December 1755 . He proposed renewing the efforts to capture Niagara , Crown Point , and Duquesne , with attacks on Fort Frontenac on the north shore of Lake Ontario and an expedition through the wilderness of the Maine district and down the Chaudière River to attack the city of Quebec . His plan , however , got bogged down by disagreements and disputes with others , including William Johnson and New York 's Governor Sir Charles Hardy , and consequently gained little support . Newcastle replaced him in January 1756 with Lord Loudoun , with Major General James Abercrombie as his second in command . Neither of these men had as much campaign experience as the trio of officers whom France sent to North America . French regular army reinforcements arrived in New France in May 1756 , led by Major General Louis - Joseph de Montcalm and seconded by the Chevalier de Lévis and Colonel François - Charles de Bourlamaque , all experienced veterans from the War of the Austrian Succession . On May 18 , 1756 , England formally declared war on France , which expanded the war into Europe and came to be known as the Seven Years ' War . General Louis - Joseph de Montcalm Governor Vaudreuil had ambitions to become the French commander in chief , in addition to his role as governor , and he acted during the winter of 1756 before those reinforcements arrived . Scouts had reported the weakness of the British supply chain , so he ordered an attack against the forts which Shirley had erected at the Oneida Carry . In the Battle of Fort Bull , French forces destroyed the fort and large quantities of supplies , including 45,000 pounds of gunpowder . They set back any British hopes for campaigns on Lake Ontario and endangered the Oswego garrison , already short on supplies . French forces in the Ohio valley also continued to intrigue with Indians throughout the area , encouraging them to raid frontier settlements . This led to ongoing alarms along the western frontiers , with streams of refugees returning east to get away from the action . The new British command was not in place until July . Abercrombie arrived in Albany but refused to take any significant actions until Loudoun approved them , and Montcalm took bold action against his inertia . He built on Vaudreuil 's work harassing the Oswego garrison and executed a strategic feint by moving his headquarters to Ticonderoga , as if to presage another attack along Lake George . With Abercrombie pinned down at Albany , Montcalm slipped away and led the successful attack on Oswego in August . In the aftermath , Montcalm and the Indians under his command disagreed about the disposition of prisoners ' personal effects . The Europeans did not consider them prizes and prevented the Indians from stripping the prisoners of their valuables , which angered the Indians . Montcalm trying to stop allied Indians from the massacre of colonial soldiers and civilians as they leave after the Battle of Fort William Henry . Loudoun was a capable administrator but a cautious field commander , and he planned one major operation for 1757 : an attack on New France 's capital of Quebec . He left a sizable force at Fort William Henry to distract Montcalm and began organizing for the expedition to Quebec . He was then ordered to attack Louisbourg first by William Pitt , the Secretary of State responsible for the colonies . The expedition was beset by delays of all kinds but was finally ready to sail from Halifax , Nova Scotia in early August . In the meantime , French ships had escaped the British blockade of the French coast , and a fleet awaited Loudoun at Louisbourg which outnumbered the British fleet . Faced with this strength , Loudoun returned to New York amid news that a massacre had occurred at Fort William Henry . French irregular forces ( Canadian scouts and Indians ) harassed Fort William Henry throughout the first half of 1757 . In January , they ambushed British rangers near Ticonderoga . In February , they launched a raid against the position across the frozen Lake George , destroying storehouses and buildings outside the main fortification . In early August , Montcalm and 7,000 troops besieged the fort , which capitulated with an agreement to withdraw under parole . When the withdrawal began , some of Montcalm 's Indian allies attacked the British column because they were angry about the lost opportunity for loot , killing and capturing several hundred men , women , children , and slaves . The aftermath of the siege may have contributed to the transmission of smallpox into remote Indian populations , as some Indians were reported to have traveled from beyond the Mississippi to participate in the campaign and returned afterward . Modern writer William Nester believes that the Indians might have been exposed to European carriers , although no proof exists . British Conquest , 1758 -- 1760 See also : Great Britain in the Seven Years ' War § Conquest of Canada ( 1758 -- 60 ) The Victory of Montcalm 's Troops at Carillon by Henry Alexander Ogden Vaudreuil and Montcalm were minimally resupplied in 1758 , as the British blockade of the French coastline limited French shipping . The situation in New France was further exacerbated by a poor harvest in 1757 , a difficult winter , and the allegedly corrupt machinations of François Bigot , the intendant of the territory . His schemes to supply the colony inflated prices and were believed by Montcalm to line his pockets and those of his associates . A massive outbreak of smallpox among western Indian tribes led many of them to stay away from trading in 1758 . The disease probably spread through the crowded conditions at William Henry after the battle ; yet the Indians blamed the French for bringing `` bad medicine '' as well as denying them prizes at Fort William Henry . Montcalm focused his meager resources on the defense of the St. Lawrence , with primary defenses at Carillon , Quebec , and Louisbourg , while Vaudreuil argued unsuccessfully for a continuation of the raiding tactics that had worked quite effectively in previous years . The British failures in North America combined with other failures in the European theater and led to Newcastle 's fall from power along with the Duke of Cumberland , his principal military advisor . Newcastle and Pitt joined in an uneasy coalition in which Pitt dominated the military planning . He embarked on a plan for the 1758 campaign that was largely developed by Loudoun . He had been replaced by Abercrombie as commander in chief after the failures of 1757 . Pitt 's plan called for three major offensive actions involving large numbers of regular troops supported by the provincial militias , aimed at capturing the heartlands of New France . Two of the expeditions were successful , with Fort Duquesne and Louisbourg falling to sizable British forces . 1758 Indians ambush British soldiers The Forbes Expedition was a British campaign in September -- October 1758 , with 6,000 troops led by General John Forbes sent to drive out the French from the contested Ohio Country . The French withdrew from Fort Duquesne and left the British in control of the Ohio River Valley . The great French fortress at Louisbourg in Nova Scotia was captured after a siege . The third invasion was stopped with the improbable French victory in the Battle of Carillon , in which 3,600 Frenchmen defeated Abercrombie 's force of 18,000 regulars , militia , and Indian allies outside the fort which the French called Carillon and the British called Ticonderoga . Abercrombie saved something from the disaster when he sent John Bradstreet on an expedition that successfully destroyed Fort Frontenac , including caches of supplies destined for New France 's western forts and furs destined for Europe . Abercrombie was recalled and replaced by Jeffery Amherst , victor at Louisbourg . Battle of Quebec , 13 September 1759 , painted by Captain Hervey Smyth The French had generally poor results in 1758 in most theaters of the war . The new foreign minister was the duc de Choiseul , and he decided to focus on an invasion of Britain to draw British resources away from North America and the European mainland . The invasion failed both militarily and politically , as Pitt again planned significant campaigns against New France and sent funds to Britain 's mainland ally of Prussia , while the French Navy failed in the 1759 naval battles at Lagos and Quiberon Bay . In one piece of good fortune , some French supply ships did manage to depart France and elude the British blockade of the French coast . 1759 -- 1760 See also : Conquest of 1760 British General Jeffery Amherst British victories continued in all theaters in the Annus Mirabilis of 1759 : the British captured Ticonderoga , James Wolfe defeated Montcalm at Quebec in a battle that claimed the lives of both commanders , and a British victory at Fort Niagara cut off the French frontier forts to the west and south . The victory was made complete in 1760 ; the British did suffer a defeat outside Quebec City in the Battle of Sainte - Foy , but they prevented the arrival of French relief ships in the naval Battle of the Restigouche while armies marched on Montreal from three sides . Governor Vaudreuil in Montreal negotiated a capitulation with General Amherst in September 1760 . Amherst granted his requests that any French residents who chose to remain in the colony would be given freedom to continue worshiping in their Roman Catholic tradition , to own property , and to remain undisturbed in their homes . The British provided medical treatment for the sick and wounded French soldiers , and French regular troops were returned to France aboard British ships with an agreement that they were not to serve again in the present war . End of the War The descent of the French on St. John 's , Newfoundland , 1762 Most of the fighting ended in continental North America in 1760 , although it continued in Europe between France and Britain . The notable exception was the French seizure of St. John 's , Newfoundland . General Amherst heard of this surprise action and immediately dispatched troops under his nephew William Amherst , who regained control of Newfoundland after the Battle of Signal Hill in September 1762 . Many troops from North America were reassigned to participate in further British actions in the West Indies , including the capture of Spanish Havana when Spain belatedly entered the conflict on the side of France , and a British expedition against French Martinique in 1762 led by Major General Robert Monckton . General Amherst also oversaw the transition of French forts to British control in the western lands . The policies which he introduced in those lands disturbed large numbers of Indians and contributed to Pontiac 's Rebellion in 1763 . This series of attacks on frontier forts and settlements required the continued deployment of British troops , and it was not resolved until 1766 . Distribution of British military forces in 1766 The war in North America officially ended with the signing of the Treaty of Paris on 10 February 1763 , and war in the European theater was settled by the Treaty of Hubertusburg on 15 February 1763 . The British offered France the choice of surrendering either its continental North American possessions east of the Mississippi or the Caribbean islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique , which had been occupied by the British . France chose to cede the former but was able to negotiate the retention of Saint Pierre and Miquelon , two small islands in the Gulf of St. Lawrence , along with fishing rights in the area . They viewed the economic value of the Caribbean islands ' sugar cane to be greater and easier to defend than the furs from the continent . French philosopher Voltaire referred to Canada disparagingly as nothing more than a few acres of snow . The British , however , were happy to take New France , as defence of their North American colonies would no longer be an issue ; they also had ample places from which to obtain sugar . Spain traded Florida to Britain in order to regain Cuba , but they also gained Louisiana from France , including New Orleans , in compensation for their losses . Great Britain and Spain also agreed that navigation on the Mississippi River was to be open to vessels of all nations . Consequences The war changed economic , political , governmental , and social relations among the three European powers , their colonies , and the people who inhabited those territories . France and Britain both suffered financially because of the war , with significant long - term consequences . Map showing British territorial gains following the Treaty of Paris in pink , and Spanish territorial gains after the Treaty of Fontainebleau in yellow Britain gained control of French Canada and Acadia , colonies containing approximately 80,000 primarily French - speaking Roman Catholic residents . The deportation of Acadians beginning in 1755 made land available to immigrants from Europe and migrants from the colonies to the south . The British resettled many Acadians throughout its North American provinces , but many went to France , and some went to New Orleans , which they had expected to remain French . Some were sent to colonize places as diverse as French Guiana and the Falkland Islands , but these efforts were unsuccessful . Others migrated to places such as Saint - Domingue or fled to New Orleans after the Haitian Revolution . The Louisiana population contributed to the founding of the modern Cajun population . ( The French word `` Acadien '' changed to `` Cadien '' then to `` Cajun '' . ) Following the treaty , King George III issued the Royal Proclamation of 1763 on October 7 , 1763 which outlined the division and administration of the newly conquered territory , and it continues to govern relations to some extent between the government of modern Canada and the First Nations . Included in its provisions was the reservation of lands west of the Appalachian Mountains to its Indian population , a demarcation that was only a temporary impediment to a rising tide of westward - bound settlers . The proclamation also contained provisions that prevented civic participation by the Roman Catholic Canadians . The Quebec Act addressed this and other issues in 1774 , raising concerns in the largely Protestant Thirteen Colonies over the advance of `` popery . '' The Act maintained French Civil law , including the seigneurial system , a medieval code removed from France within a generation by the French Revolution . The deportation order is read to a group of Acadians in 1755 The Seven Years ' War nearly doubled Great Britain 's national debt . The Crown sought sources of revenue to pay it off and attempted to impose new taxes on its colonies . These attempts were met with increasingly stiff resistance , until troops were called in to enforce the Crown 's authority . These acts ultimately led to the start of the American Revolutionary War . France attached comparatively little value to its North American possessions , apart from the highly profitable sugar - producing Antilles islands which it retained . Minister Choiseul considered that he had made a good deal at the Treaty of Paris , and Voltaire wrote that Louis XV had lost `` a few acres of snow '' . For France , however , the military defeat and the financial burden of the war weakened the monarchy and contributed to the advent of the French Revolution in 1789 . For some of the Indian tribes , the elimination of French power in North America meant the disappearance of a strong ally , although other tribes were not so affected . The Ohio Country was now more available to colonial settlement , due to the construction of military roads by Braddock and Forbes . The Spanish takeover of the Louisiana territory was not completed until 1769 , and it had modest repercussions . The British takeover of Spanish Florida resulted in the westward migration of Indian tribes who did not want to do business with them . This migration also caused a rise in tensions between the Choctaw and the Creek , historic enemies who were now competing for land . The change of control in Florida also prompted most of its Spanish Catholic population to leave . Most went to Cuba , including the entire governmental records from St. Augustine , although some Christianized Yamasee were resettled to the coast of Mexico . France returned to North America in 1778 with the establishment of a Franco - American alliance against Great Britain in the American War of Independence . This time , France succeeded in prevailing over Great Britain in what historian Alfred A. Cave describes as `` French ... revenge for Montcalm 's death '' .

( July 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Roscón de Reyes Majorcan roscón Alternative names Rosca de reyes Course Dessert Place of origin Spain , France Cookbook : Roscón de Reyes Media : Roscón de Reyes Catalan tortell King and bean from inside a Spanish Rosca de Reyes . Roscón de reyes or rosca de reyes ( kings ' ring ) is a Spanish and Spanish American king 's cake pastry traditionally eaten to celebrate Epiphany . In Catalonia , it is known as tortell . In southern France where it is also eaten , it is known as Gâteau des Rois , Corona dels Reis or Reiaume . Although the name indicates that it should be round , the roscón de reyes generally has an oval shape due to the need to make cakes larger than 30 cm ( 12 inches ) across for larger parties . Recipes vary from country to country . For decoration , figs , quinces , cherries or dried and candied fruits are used . It is traditionally eaten on January 6 , during the celebration of the Día de Reyes ( literally `` Kings ' Day '' ) , which commemorates the arrival of the three Magi or Wise Men . In most of Spain , Spanish America , and sometimes , Hispanic communities in the United States , this is the day when children traditionally get presents , which are attributed to the Three Wise Men ( and not Santa Claus or Father Christmas ) . In Spain before children go to bed , they leave a dish filled with biscuits and a few glasses of water for the three wise men and the camels they ride on . The baby Jesus hidden in the bread represents the flight of the Holy Family , fleeing from King Herod 's Massacre of the Innocents . Whoever finds the baby Jesus figurine is blessed and must take the figurine to the nearest church on February 2 ( Candlemas Day , Día de la Candelaria ) . In the Mexican culture , this person has the responsibility of hosting a dinner and providing tamales and atole to the guests . In U.S. communities with large Mexican and Mexican - American populations , such as Los Angeles , San Diego , San Jose , Dallas and Chicago , the celebration includes the Mexican hominy stew pozole , which is made for all one 's neighbors . Contents ( hide ) 1 Variations 2 See also 3 Notes 4 References 5 External links Variations ( edit ) In Spain , roscones bought in pastry shops have a small figure hidden inside , either of a baby Jesus or little toys for children , as well as the more traditional dry fava bean . Whoever finds the figure is crowned `` king '' or `` queen '' of the celebration , whereas whoever finds the bean has to pay for the next year 's roscón or Epiphany party . In Galicia and Argentina , there is a similar tradition of eating the rosca on January 6 , although no figurine is included . A similar version of the pastry with whole eggs baked on top is served on Easter as rosca de Pascua . In some places , the roscón de reyes is replaced by panettone , also baked with trinkets inside . In northern France , a similar pastry known as a galette des rois ( made with puff pastry and almond cream ) is eaten on Epiphany , and in the US , the formerly French and Spanish city of New Orleans continues this tradition later into the year with their King Cake , a rich yeasted bread decorated with colored sugar and eaten throughout Carnival season which begins on Epiphany and ends on Mardi Gras .

"It is traditionally eaten on January 6,[1] during the celebration of the Día de Reyes (literally \"Kings' Day\"), which commemorates the arrival of the three Magi or Wise Men. In most of Spain, Spanish America, and sometimes, Hispanic communities in the United States, this is the day when children traditionally get presents, which are attributed to the Three Wise Men (and not Santa Claus or Father Christmas). In Spain before children go to bed, they leave a dish filled with biscuits and a few glasses of water for the three wise men and the camels they ride on.[citation needed] The baby Jesus hidden in the bread represents the flight of the Holy Family, fleeing from King Herod's Massacre of the Innocents. Whoever finds the baby Jesus figurine is blessed and must take the figurine to the nearest church on February 2 (Candlemas Day, Día de la Candelaria). In the Mexican culture, this person has the responsibility of hosting a dinner and providing tamales and atole to the guests. In U.S. communities with large Mexican and Mexican-American populations, such as Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, Dallas and Chicago, the celebration includes the Mexican hominy stew pozole, which is made for all one's neighbors."

It was produced by Frank Marshall for Lucasfilm Ltd. , with Lucas and Howard Kazanjian as executive producers . Starring Harrison Ford , it was the first installment in the Indiana Jones film franchise to be released , though it is the second in internal chronological order . It pits Indiana Jones ( Ford ) against a group of Nazis who are searching for the Ark of the Covenant , which Adolf Hitler believes will make his army invincible . The film co-stars Karen Allen as Indiana 's former lover , Marion Ravenwood ; Paul Freeman as Indiana 's rival , French archaeologist René Belloq ; John Rhys - Davies as Indiana 's sidekick , Sallah ; Ronald Lacey as Gestapo agent Arnold Toht ; and Denholm Elliott as Indiana 's colleague , Marcus Brody . The film originated from Lucas ' desire to create a modern version of the serials of the 1930s and 1940s . Production was based at Elstree Studios , England ; but filming also took place in La Rochelle , France , Tunisia , Hawaii , and California from June to September 1980 . Released on June 12 , 1981 , Raiders of the Lost Ark became the year 's top - grossing film and remains one of the highest - grossing films ever made . It was nominated for eight Academy Awards in 1982 , including Best Picture , and won four for Best Art Direction , Film Editing , Sound , and Visual Effects with a fifth Academy Award : a Special Achievement Award for Sound Effects Editing . The film 's critical and popular success led to three additional films , Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom ( 1984 ) , Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade ( 1989 ) , and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull ( 2008 ) , with a fifth slated for 2020 ; the television series The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles ( 1992 -- 1996 ) , and 15 video games as of 2009 . In 1999 , the film was included in the U.S. Library of Congress ' National Film Registry as having been deemed `` culturally , historically , or aesthetically significant '' . The film was ranked as one of the greatest action - adventure films of all time by The Telegraph .

He is confronted by rival archaeologist René Belloq and the indigenous Hovito people . Surrounded and outnumbered , Indy surrenders the idol to Belloq and escapes aboard a waiting floatplane . Jones returns to his teaching position at a New England college , where he is interviewed by two Army Intelligence agents . They inform him that the Nazis are searching for his old mentor , Abner Ravenwood , under whom Jones studied at the University of Chicago . The Nazis know that Ravenwood is the leading expert on the ancient city of Tanis in Egypt , and that he possesses the headpiece of the Staff of Ra. Jones deduces that the Nazis are searching for the Ark of the Covenant -- the Nazis believe that if they acquire the Ark , their armies will become invincible . The Staff of Ra is the key to finding the Well of Souls , a secret chamber in which the Ark is buried . The agents authorize Jones to recover the Ark to prevent the Nazis from obtaining it . He travels to Nepal and discovers that Abner has died , and the headpiece is in the possession of Ravenwood 's daughter Marion . Jones visits Marion at her tavern , where she reveals her bitter feelings toward him from a previous romantic affair . She physically rebuffs his offer to buy the headpiece , and Jones leaves . Shortly after , a group of thugs arrive with their Nazi commander , Arnold Toht . Toht threatens Marion to get the headpiece , but when Jones returns to the bar to fight the Nazis and save Marion , her bar is accidentally set on fire ; during the fight , the headpiece ends up in the fire and Toht severely burns his hand trying to take the hot headpiece , and flees the tavern screaming . Indy and Marion escape with the headpiece , and Marion decides to accompany Indy in his search for the Ark so he can repay his debt to her . The pair travels to Cairo , where they meet up with Indy 's friend Sallah , a skilled excavator . Sallah informs them that Belloq and the Nazis are digging for the Well of Souls with a replica of the headpiece ( created from the scar on Toht 's hand ) . They quickly realize the Nazi headpiece is incomplete and that the Nazis are digging in the wrong place . The Nazis kidnap Marion and it appears to Jones that she is killed in an exploding truck . After a confrontation with Belloq in a local bar , Indy and Sallah infiltrate the Nazi dig site and use their staff to correctly locate the Ark . Indy discovers Marion is alive , bound and gagged in a tent , but does not release her for fear of alerting the Nazis . Indy , Sallah , and a small group of diggers unearth the Well of Souls and acquire the Ark . Belloq and Nazi officer Colonel Dietrich arrive , seize the Ark from Jones , throwing Marion into the Well of Souls with him before sealing it back up . Jones and Marion escape to a local airstrip , where Jones has a fistfight with a Nazi mechanic and destroys the flying wing that was to transport the Ark to Berlin . The panicked Nazis remove the Ark in a truck and set off for Cairo , but Jones catches them and retakes it . He makes arrangements to take the Ark to London aboard a tramp steamer . The next day , a Nazi U-boat appears and intercepts the ship . Belloq and Dietrich seize the Ark and Marion but can not locate Jones , who stows away aboard the U-boat and travels with them to an island in the Aegean Sea . Once there , Belloq plans to test the power of the Ark before presenting it to Hitler . Jones reveals himself and threatens to destroy the Ark with a panzerfaust , but Belloq calls his bluff and Jones surrenders rather than destroy such an important historical artifact . The Nazis take Indy and Marion to an area where the Ark will be opened and tie them to a post to observe . Belloq performs a ceremonial opening of the Ark , which appears to contain nothing but sand , all that remains of the Ten Commandments . Suddenly , angelic ghost - like beings emerge from the Ark . Indy cautions Marion to keep her eyes closed and not to observe what happens next . Belloq and the others look on in astonishment as the apparitions are suddenly revealed to be angels of death . A vortex of flame forms above the Ark and shoots bolts of fiery energy into the gathered Nazi soldiers , killing them all . As Belloq , Toht and Dietrich all scream in terror , the Ark turns its fury on them : Dietrich 's head shrivels up , Toht 's face is melted off his skull and Belloq 's head explodes . Flames then engulf the remains of the doomed assembly , save for Indy and Marion , and the pillar of fire rises into the sky . The Ark 's lid is blasted high into the air before dropping back down onto the Ark and sealing it . Jones and Marion find their ropes burned off and embrace . In Washington , D.C. , the Army Intelligence agents inform Jones and Marcus Brody that the Ark is someplace safe and will be studied by `` top men '' . The Ark is shown being stored in a giant government warehouse among countless similar crates . Cast ( edit ) See also : List of Indiana Jones characters Harrison Ford stars as Indiana Jones , an archaeology professor who often embarks on perilous adventures to obtain rare artifacts . Jones claims that he has no belief in the supernatural , only to have his skepticism challenged when he discovers the Ark . Spielberg suggested casting Ford as Jones , but Lucas objected , stating that he did not want Ford to become his `` Bobby De Niro '' or `` that guy I put in all my movies '' -- a reference to Martin Scorsese , who often worked with Robert De Niro . Desiring a lesser known actor , Lucas persuaded Spielberg to help him search for a new talent . Among the actors who auditioned were Tim Matheson , Peter Coyote , John Shea , and Tom Selleck . Selleck was originally offered the role , but became unavailable for the part because of his commitment to the television series Magnum , P.I. . In June 1980 , three weeks away from filming , Spielberg persuaded Lucas to cast Ford after producers Frank Marshall and Kathleen Kennedy were impressed by his performance as Han Solo in The Empire Strikes Back . Paul Freeman as Dr. René Belloq , Jones ' rival . Belloq is also an archaeologist after the Ark , but he is working for the Nazis . He intends to harness the Ark 's power himself before Hitler can , but he is killed by the Ark 's supernatural powers . Spielberg cast Freeman after seeing him in Death of a Princess . Before Freeman got the part , actor Giancarlo Giannini was originally going to portray Belloq , while singer Jacques Dutronc auditioned for the role , but they lost out to Freeman . Karen Allen as Marion Ravenwood , a spirited , tough former lover of Indiana 's . She is the daughter of Abner Ravenwood , Indiana Jones ' mentor , and owns a bar in Nepal . Allen was cast after auditioning with Matheson and John Shea . Spielberg was interested in her , as he had seen her performance in National Lampoon 's Animal House . Sean Young had previously auditioned for the part , while Debra Winger turned it down . John Rhys - Davies as Sallah , `` the best digger in Egypt '' according to Indiana , who has been hired by the Nazis to help them excavate Tanis . He is an old friend of Indiana 's , and agrees to help him obtain the Ark , though he fears disturbing it . Spielberg initially approached Danny DeVito to play Sallah , but he could not play the part due to scheduling conflicts . Spielberg cast Rhys - Davies after seeing his performance in Shōgun . Ronald Lacey as Major Arnold Toht , an interrogator for the Gestapo and Jones ' nemesis , who tries to torture Marion Ravenwood for the headpiece of the Staff of Ra . He is killed by the Ark 's supernatural powers . Lacey was cast as he reminded Spielberg of Peter Lorre . Spielberg had originally offered the role to Roman Polanski , who was intrigued at the opportunity to work with Spielberg but decided to turn down the role because he would n't be able to make the trip to Tunisia . Klaus Kinski was also offered the role , but he hated the script , calling it `` moronically shitty '' . Michael Sheard , who ended portraying Captain Oskar Schomburg in the film , also auditioned for the role , but he lost out to Lacey . Denholm Elliott as Dr. Marcus Brody , a museum curator , who buys the artifacts Indiana obtains for display in his museum . The U.S. government agents approach him with regard to the Ark 's recovery , and he sets up a meeting between them and Indiana Jones . Spielberg hired Elliott as he was a big fan of the actor , who had performed in some of his favorite British and American films . Wolf Kahler as Colonel Dietrich , a ruthless German officer leading the operation to secure the Ark . He is killed by the Ark 's supernatural powers . Alfred Molina , in his film debut , as Satipo , one of Jones ' guides through the South American jungle . He betrays Jones and steals the golden idol , but is killed by traps before he can leave the temple . George Harris as Simon Katanga , captain of the Bantu Wind . Anthony Higgins as Major Gobler , Colonel Dietrich 's right - hand - man . Vic Tablian as Barranca and the Monkey Man . Don Fellows as Colonel Musgrove , an Army Intelligence agent . William Hootkins as Major Eaton , an Army Intelligence agent . Producer Frank Marshall played a pilot in the airplane fight sequence . The stunt team was ill , so he took the role instead . The result was three days in a hot cockpit , which he joked was over `` 140 degrees '' . Pat Roach plays the Nazi mechanic with whom Jones brawls in this sequence , as well as a massive sherpa who battles Jones in Marion 's bar . He had the rare opportunity to be killed twice in one film . Special - effects supervisor Dennis Muren made a cameo as a Nazi spy on the seaplane Jones takes from San Francisco to Manila . Production ( edit ) Development ( edit ) In 1973 , George Lucas wrote The Adventures of Indiana Smith . Like Star Wars , which he also wrote , it was an opportunity to create a modern version of the film serials of the 1930s and 1940s . Lucas discussed the concept with Philip Kaufman , who worked with him for several weeks and came up with the Ark of the Covenant as the plot device . Kaufman was told about the Ark by his dentist when he was a child . The project stalled when Clint Eastwood hired Kaufman to direct The Outlaw Josey Wales . Lucas shelved the idea , deciding to concentrate on his outer space adventure that would become Star Wars . In late May 1977 , Lucas was in Hawaii , trying to escape the enormous success of Star Wars . Friend and colleague Steven Spielberg was also there , on vacation from work on Close Encounters of the Third Kind . While building a sand castle at the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel , Spielberg expressed an interest in directing a James Bond film . Lucas convinced his friend Spielberg that he had conceived a character `` better than James Bond '' and explained the concept of Raiders of the Lost Ark . Spielberg loved it , calling it `` a James Bond film without the hardware '' , although he told Lucas that the surname ' Smith ' was not right for the character . Lucas replied , `` OK . What about ' Jones ' ? '' Indiana was the name of Lucas ' Alaskan Malamute , whose habit of riding in the passenger seat as Lucas drove was also the inspiration for Star Wars ' Chewbacca . Spielberg was at first reluctant to sign on , as Lucas had told him that he would want Spielberg for an entire trilogy , and Spielberg did not want to work on two more scripts . Lucas told him , however , that he already had the next two movies written , so Spielberg agreed . But when the time came for the first sequel , it was revealed that Lucas had nothing written for either sequel . The following year , Lucas focused on developing Raiders and the Star Wars sequel The Empire Strikes Back , during which Lawrence Kasdan and Frank Marshall joined the project as screenwriter and producer respectively . Between January 23 -- 27 , 1978 , for nine hours a day , Lucas , Kasdan , and Spielberg discussed the story and visual ideas . Spielberg came up with Jones being chased by a boulder , which was inspired by Carl Barks ' Uncle Scrooge comic `` The Seven Cities of Cibola '' . Lucas later acknowledged that the idea for the idol mechanism in the opening scene and deadly traps later in the film were inspired by several Uncle Scrooge comics . Lucas came up with a submarine , a monkey giving the Hitler salute , and Marion punching Jones in Nepal . Kasdan used a 100 - page transcript of their conversations for his first script draft , which he worked on for six months . Ultimately , some of their ideas were too grand and had to be cut : a mine chase , an escape in Shanghai using a rolling gong as a shield , and a jump from an airplane in a raft , all of which made it into the prequel , Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom . Spielberg and Lucas disagreed on the character : although Spielberg saw him as a Bondian playboy , Lucas felt the character 's academic and adventurer elements made him complex enough . Spielberg had a darker vision of Jones , interpreting him as an alcoholic similar to Humphrey Bogart 's character Fred C. Dobbs in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre ( 1948 ) . This characterization fell away during the later drafts , though elements survive in Jones 's reaction when he believes Marion to be dead . Costume designer Deborah Nadoolman credits Secret of the Incas ( 1954 ) , starring Charlton Heston , as an influence on the development of the character , noting that the crew watched the film together several times . Nadoolman based the look of Ford 's costume on that of Heston 's , and observed that Indiana is a `` kinder and gentler '' Harry Steele . Initially , the film was rejected by every major studio in Hollywood , mostly due to the $20 million budget and the deal Lucas was offering . Eventually Paramount agreed to finance the film , with Lucas negotiating a five - picture deal . By April 1980 , Kasdan 's fifth draft was produced , and production was getting ready to shoot at Elstree Studios , with Lucas trying to keep costs down . With four illustrators , Raiders of the Lost Ark was Spielberg 's most storyboarded film of his career to date , further helping the film economically . He and Lucas agreed on a tight schedule to keep costs down and to follow the `` quick and dirty '' feel of the old Saturday matinée serials . Special effects were done using puppets , miniature models , animation , and camera trickery . `` We did n't do 30 or 40 takes ; usually only four . It was like silent film -- shoot only what you need , no waste '' , Spielberg said . `` Had I had more time and money , it would have turned out a pretentious movie . '' Filming ( edit ) Principal photography began on June 23 , 1980 , at La Rochelle , France , with scenes involving the Nazi submarine , which had been rented from the production of Das Boot . The U-boat pen was a real one from World War II . The crew moved to Elstree Studios for the Well of Souls scenes , the opening sequence temple interiors and Marion Ravenwood 's bar . The Well of Souls scene required 7,000 snakes . The only venomous snakes were the cobras , but one crew member was bitten on set by a python . The bulk of the snakes ' numbers were made up with giant but harmless legless lizards known as Scheltopusiks ( Pseudopus apodus ) which occur from the Balkan Peninsula of southeastern Europe to Central Asia . Growing to 1.3 m they are the largest legless lizards in the world and are often mistaken for snakes despite some very obvious differences such as the presence of eyelids and external ear openings , which are both absent from all snakes , and a notched rather than forked tongue . In the finished film , during the scene in which Indiana comes face - to - face with the cobra , a reflection in glass screen that protected Ford from the snake was seen , an issue that was corrected in the 2003 digitally - enhanced re-release . Unlike Indiana , neither Ford nor Spielberg has a fear of snakes , but Spielberg said that seeing all the snakes on the set writhing around made him `` want to puke '' . The opening scene in the Peruvian jungle was filmed on the island of Kauai , one of the islands of Hawaii , to where Spielberg would return for Jurassic Park . The `` temple '' location is on the Huleia River , on the Kipu Ranch , south from Kaumualii Highway on the east coast , just south of Lihue , the island 's main town . Kipu is a working cattle ranch , not generally open to the public . The Peruvian section ( but actually filmed in Hawaii ) featured live tarantulas of a Mexican species ( Brachypelma ) on Harrison Ford and Alfred Molina , and are harmless to humans , and in fact of a species which are commonly kept as exotic pets . A fiberglass boulder 22 feet ( 7 m ) in diameter was made for the scene where Indiana escapes from the temple ; Spielberg was so impressed by production designer Norman Reynolds ' realization of his idea that he gave the boulder a more prominent role in the film and told Reynolds to let the boulder roll another 50 feet ( 15 m ) . The scenes set in Egypt were filmed in Tunisia , and the canyon where Indiana threatens to blow up the Ark was shot in Sidi Bouhlel , just outside Tozeur . The canyon location had been used for the Tatooine scenes from 1977 's Star Wars ( many of the location crew members were the same for both films ) where R2 - D2 was attacked by Jawas . The Tanis scenes were filmed in nearby Sedala , a harsh place due to heat and disease . Several cast and crew members fell ill and Rhys - Davies defecated in his costume during one shot . Spielberg averted disease by eating only canned foods from England , but did not like the area and quickly condensed the scheduled six - week shoot to four - and - a-half weeks . Much was improvised : the scene where Marion puts on her dress and attempts to leave Belloq 's tent was improvised as was the entire plane fight . During that scene 's shooting , a wheel went over Ford 's knee and tore his left leg 's cruciate ligament , but he refused local medical help and simply put ice on it . The fight scenes in the town were filmed in Kairouan , while Ford was suffering from dysentery . Stuntman Terry Richards had practiced for weeks with his sword to create the scripted fight scene , choreographing a fight between the swordsman and Jones ' whip . However , after filming the initial shots of the scene , after lunch due to Ford 's dysentery , Ford and Spielberg agreed to cut the scene down to a gunshot , with Ford saying to Spielberg `` Let 's just shoot the sucker '' . It was later voted in at No. 5 on Playboy magazine 's list of best all time scenes . Most of the truck chase was shot by second unit director Michael D. Moore following Spielberg 's storyboards , including Indiana being dragged by the truck ( performed by stuntman Terry Leonard ) , in tribute to a famous Yakima Canutt stunt . Spielberg then filmed all the shots with Ford himself in and around the truck cab . Lucas directed a few other second unit shots , in particular the monkey giving the Nazi salute . The interior staircase set in Washington , D.C. was filmed in San Francisco 's City Hall . The University of the Pacific 's campus in Stockton , California , stood in for the exterior of the college where Jones works , while his classroom and the hall where he meets the American intelligence agents was filmed at the Royal Masonic School for Girls in Rickmansworth , Hertfordshire , England , which was again used in The Last Crusade . His home exteriors were filmed in San Rafael , California . Opening sequence exteriors were filmed in Kauai , Hawaii , with Spielberg wrapping in September in 73 days , finishing under schedule in contrast to his previous film , 1941 . The Washington , D.C. coda , although it appeared in the script 's early drafts , was not included in early edits but was added later when it was realized that there was no resolution to Jones ' relationship with Marion . Shots of the Douglas DC - 3 Jones flies on to Nepal were taken from Lost Horizon , and a street scene was from a shot in The Hindenburg . Filming of Jones boarding a Boeing Clipper flying - boat was complicated by the lack of a surviving aircraft . Eventually , a post-war British Short Solent flying - boat formerly owned by Howard Hughes was located in California and substituted . Visual effects and Sound design ( edit ) The special visual effects for Raiders were provided by Industrial Light & Magic and include : a matte shot to establish the Pan Am flying boat in the water and miniature work to show the plane taking off and flying , superimposed over a map ; animation effects for the beam in the Tanis map room ; and a miniature car and passengers superimposed over a matte painting for a shot of a Nazi car being forced off a cliff . The bulk of effects shots were featured in the climactic sequence wherein the Ark of the Covenant ( which was designed by Brian Muir and Keith Short ) is opened and God 's wrath is unleashed . This sequence featured animation , a woman to portray a beautiful spirit 's face , rod puppet spirits moved through water to convey a sense of floating , a matte painting of the island , and cloud tank effects to portray clouds . The melting of Toht 's head was done by exposing a gelatine and plaster model of Ronald Lacey 's head to a heat lamp with an under - cranked camera , while Dietrich 's crushed head was a hollow model from which air was withdrawn . When the film was originally submitted to the Motion Picture Association of America , it received an R rating because of the scene in which Belloq 's head explodes . The filmmakers were able to receive a PG rating when they added a veil of fire over the exploding head scene . ( PG - 13 rating was not created until 1984 . ) The firestorm that cleanses the canyon at the finish was a miniature canyon filmed upside down . Ben Burtt , the sound effects supervisor , made extensive use of traditional foley work in yet another of the production 's throwbacks to days of the Republic serials . He selected a . 30 - 30 Winchester rifle for the sound of Jones ' pistol . Sound effects artists struck leather jackets and baseball gloves with a baseball bat to create a variety of punching noises and body blows . For the snakes in the Well of Souls sequence , fingers running through cheese casserole and sponges sliding over concrete were used for the slithering noises . The sliding lid on a toilet cistern provided the sound for the opening of the Ark , and the sound of the boulder in the opening is a car rolling down a gravel driveway in neutral . Burtt also used , as he did in many of his films , the ubiquitous Wilhelm scream when a Nazi falls from a truck . In addition to his use of such time - honored foley work , Burtt also demonstrated the modern expertise honed during his award - winning work on Star Wars . He employed a synthesizer for the sounds of the Ark , and mixed dolphins ' and sea lions ' screams for those of the spirits within . The final scene , where the Ark is placed in a vast warehouse , was Spielberg 's homage to Citizen Kane , where Kane 's lost childhood sledge , `` Rosebud '' , is similarly treated . Music ( edit ) `` The Raiders March '' ( 1981 ) Raiders of the Lost Ark Problems playing this file ? See media help . Main article : Raiders of the Lost Ark ( soundtrack ) John Williams composed the score for Raiders of the Lost Ark , which was the only score in the series performed by the London Symphony Orchestra , the same orchestra that performed the scores for the Star Wars saga . The score most notably features the well - known `` Raiders March '' . This piece came to symbolize Indiana Jones and was later used in the scores for the other three films . Williams originally wrote two different candidates for Jones 's theme , but Spielberg enjoyed them so much that he insisted that both be used together in what became the `` Raiders March '' . The alternately eerie and apocalyptic theme for the Ark of the Covenant is also heard frequently in the score , with a more romantic melody representing Marion and , more broadly , her relationship with Jones . The score as a whole received an Oscar nomination for Best Original Score , but lost to the score to Chariots of Fire composed by Vangelis . Release ( edit ) United States - June 12th , 1981 .

Merchandise ( edit ) The only video game based exclusively on the film is Raiders of the Lost Ark , released in 1982 by Atari for their Atari 2600 console . The first third of the video game Indiana Jones ' Greatest Adventures , released in 1994 by JVC for Nintendo 's Super Nintendo Entertainment System , is based entirely on the film . Several of the film 's sequences are reproduced ( the boulder run and the showdown with the Cairo Swordsman among them ) ; however , several inconsistencies with the film are present in the game , such as Nazi soldiers and bats being present in the Well of Souls sequence , for example . The game was developed by LucasArts and Factor 5 . In the 1999 game Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine , a bonus level brings Jones back to the Peruvian temple of the film 's opening scene . In 2008 , to coincide with the release of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull , Lego released the Lego Indiana Jones line -- which included building sets based on Raiders of the Lost Ark -- and LucasArts published a video game based on the toyline , Lego Indiana Jones : The Original Adventures , which was developed by Traveller 's Tales . Marvel Comics published a comic book adaptation of the film by writer Walt Simonson and artists John Buscema and Klaus Janson . It was published as Marvel Super Special # 18 and as a three - issue limited series . This was followed with the comic book series The Further Adventures of Indiana Jones which was published monthly from January 1983 through March 1986 . In 1981 , Kenner released a 12 - inch ( 30 cm ) doll of Indiana Jones , and the following year they released nine action figures of the film 's characters , three playsets , as well as toys of the Nazi truck and Jones ' horse . They also released a board game . In 1984 , miniature metal versions of the characters were released for a role playing game , The Adventures of Indiana Jones , and in 1995 Micro Machines released die - cast toys of the film 's vehicles . Hasbro released action figures based on the film , ranging from 3 to 12 inches ( 7.6 to 30.5 cm ) , to coincide with Kingdom of the Crystal Skull on May 1 , 2008 . Later in 2008 , and in 2011 , two high - end sixth scale ( 1 : 6 ) collectible action figures were released by Sideshow Collectibles , and Hot Toys , Ltd. respectively . A novelization by Ryder Windham was released in April 2008 by Scholastic to tie in with the release of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull . A previous novelization by Scottish author Campbell Armstrong ( under the pseudonym Campbell Black ) was concurrently released with the film in 1981 . A book about the making of the film was also released , written by Derek Taylor . Home media ( edit ) The film was released on VHS , Betamax and VideoDisc in pan and scan only , and on laserdisc in both pan and scan and widescreen . For its 1999 VHS re-issue , the film was remastered in THX and made available in widescreen . The outer package was retitled Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark for consistency with the film 's prequel and sequel . The subsequent DVD release in 2003 features this title as well . The title in the film itself remains unchanged , even in the restored DVD print . In the DVD , two subtle digital revisions were added . First , a connecting rod from the giant boulder to an offscreen guidance track in the opening scene was removed from behind the running Harrison Ford ; second , a reflection in the glass partition separating Ford from the cobra in the Well of Souls was removed . Shortly before the theatrical release of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull , Raiders ( along with The Temple of Doom and The Last Crusade ) was re-released on DVD with additional extra features not included on the previous set on May 13 , 2008 . The film was released on Blu - ray Disc in September 2012 . Previously , only Kingdom of the Crystal Skull had been available on Blu - ray . Reception ( edit ) Box Office ( edit ) Raiders of the Lost Ark opened at # 14 and grossed $1,673,731 from 267 theaters ( $6,269 theater average ) during its opening weekend . In total , the IMAX release grossed $3,125,613 domestically . The film , made on an $ 18 million budget , grossed $384 million worldwide throughout its theatrical releases . In North America , it was by some distance the highest - grossing film of 1981 , and remains one of the top twenty - five highest - grossing films ever made when adjusted for inflation . Box Office Mojo estimates that the film sold more than 70 million tickets in the US in its initial theatrical run . Critical reception ( edit ) The film was subsequently nominated for nine Academy Awards , including Best Picture , in 1982 and won four ( Best Sound , Best Film Editing , Best Visual Effects , and Best Art Direction - Set Decoration ( Norman Reynolds , Leslie Dilley , and Michael D. Ford ) . It also received a Special Achievement Award for Sound Effects Editing . It won numerous other awards , including a Grammy Award and Best Picture at the People 's Choice Awards . Spielberg was also nominated for a Golden Globe Award . The film was highly acclaimed by critics and audiences alike . In his review for The New York Times , Vincent Canby praised the film , calling it , `` one of the most deliriously funny , ingenious and stylish American adventure movies ever made . '' Roger Ebert in his review for the Chicago Sun - Times wrote , `` Two things , however , make Raiders of the Lost Ark more than just a technological triumph : its sense of humor and the droll style of its characters ( ... ) We find ourselves laughing in surprise , in relief , in incredulity at the movie 's ability to pile one incident upon another in an inexhaustible series of inventions . '' He later added it to his list of `` Great Movies '' . Rolling Stone said the film was `` the ultimate Saturday action matinee -- a film so funny and exciting it can be enjoyed any day of the week . '' Bruce Williamson of Playboy claimed : `` There 's more excitement in the first ten minutes of Raiders than any movie I have seen all year . By the time the explosive misadventures end , any movie - goer worth his salt ought to be exhausted . '' Stephen Klain of Variety also praised the film . Yet , making an observation that would revisit the franchise with its next film , he felt that the film was surprisingly violent and bloody for a PG - rated film . There were some dissenting voices : Sight & Sound described it as an `` expensively gift - wrapped Saturday afternoon pot - boiler '' , and New Hollywood champion Pauline Kael , who once contended that she only got `` really rough '' on large films that were destined to be hits but were nonetheless `` atrocious '' , found the film to be a `` machine - tooled adventure '' from a pair of creators who `` think just like the marketing division '' . ( Lucas later named a villain , played by Raiders Nazi strongman Pat Roach , in his 1988 fantasy film Willow after Kael . ) On Rotten Tomatoes , the film has a 94 % `` Certified Fresh '' rating and has a Critics Consensus stating `` Featuring bravura set pieces , sly humor , and white - knuckle action , Raiders of the Lost Ark is one of the most consummately entertaining adventure pictures of all time . '' , as well as a 85 % rating on Metacritic , indicating `` universal acclaim '' . Accolades ( edit ) Awards and nominations Association Category Nominee ( s ) Result Ref .

A television series , entitled The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles , was also spun off from this film , and details the character 's early years . Numerous other books , comics , and video games have also been produced . In 1998 , the American Film Institute placed the film at number 60 on its top 100 films of the first century of cinema . In 2007 , AFI updated the list and placed it at number 66 . They also named it as the 10th most thrilling film , and named Indiana Jones as the second greatest hero . In 1999 , the film was deemed `` culturally , historically , or aesthetically significant '' by the U.S. Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry . Indiana Jones has become an icon , being listed as Entertainment Weekly 's third favorite action hero , while noting `` some of the greatest action scenes ever filmed are strung together like pearls '' in this film . An amateur , near shot - for - shot remake was made by Chris Strompolos , Eric Zala , and Jayson Lamb , then children in Ocean Springs , Mississippi . It took the boys seven years to finish , from 1982 to 1989 . After production of the film , called Raiders of the Lost Ark : The Adaptation , it was shelved and forgotten until 2003 , where it was discovered by Eli Roth and acclaimed by Spielberg himself , who congratulated the boys on their hard work and said he looked forward to seeing their names on the big screen . Scott Rudin and Paramount Pictures purchased the trio 's life rights with the goal of producing a film based on their adventures making their remake . In 2014 , film director Steven Soderbergh published an experimental black - and - white version of the film , with the original soundtrack and dialogue replaced by an electronic soundtrack . Soderbergh said his intention was to encourage viewers to focus on Spielberg 's extraordinary staging and editing : `` This filmmaker forgot more about staging by the time he made his first feature than I know to this day . '' Assessing the film 's legacy in 1997 , Bernard Weinraub , film critic for The New York Times , which had initially reviewed the film as `` deliriously funny , ingenious , and stylish '' , maintained that `` the decline in the traditional family G - rated film , for ' general ' audiences , probably began '' with the appearance of Raiders of the Lost Ark . `` Whether by accident or design , '' found Weinraub , `` the filmmakers made a comic nonstop action film intended mostly for adults but also for children . '' Eight years later , in 2005 , viewers of Channel 4 rated the film as the 20th - best family film of all time , with Spielberg taking best over-all director honors . On Empire magazine 's list of the 500 Greatest Movies of All Time , Raiders ranked second , beaten only by The Godfather . In conjunction with the Blu - ray release , a limited one - week release in IMAX theaters was announced for September 7 , 2012 . Steven Spielberg and sound designer Ben Burtt supervised the format conversion . No special effects or other visual elements were altered , but the audio was enhanced for surround sound . 2012 replica mystery ( edit ) In December 2012 , the University of Chicago 's admissions department received a package in the mail addressed to Henry Walton Jones , Jr. , Indiana Jones ' full name . The address on the stamped package was listed for a hall that was the former home of the university 's geology and geography department . Inside the manila envelope was a detailed replica journal similar to the one Jones used in the movie , as well as postcards and pictures of Marion Ravenwood . The admissions department posted pictures of the contents on its Internet blog , looking for any information about the package . It was discovered that the package was part of a set to be shipped from Guam to Italy that had been sold on eBay . The package with the journal had fallen out in transit and a postal worker had sent it to the university , as it had a complete address and postage , which turned out to be fake . All contents were from a Guam `` prop replicator '' who sells them all over the world . The university will display its replica in the main lobby of the Oriental Institute .

The team joined the Los Angeles Rams of the rival National Football League as the first `` big four '' - sport playing in the Western United States in 1946 , eventually becoming part of the NFL themselves in 1950 . In 1957 , the 49ers enjoyed their first sustained success as members of the NFL . After losing the opening game of the season , the 49ers won their next three against the Rams , Bears , and Packers before returning home to Kezar Stadium for a game against the Chicago Bears on October 27 , 1957 . The 49ers fell behind the Bears 17 -- 7 . Tragically , 49ers owner Tony Morabito ( 1910 -- 1957 ) collapsed of a heart attack and died during the game . The 49ers players learned of his death at halftime when coach Frankie Albert was handed a note with two words : `` Tony 's gone . '' With tears running down their faces , and motivated to win for their departed owner , the 49ers scored 14 unanswered points to win the game , 21 -- 17 . Dicky Moegle 's late - game interception in the endzone sealed the victory . After Tony 's death 49er ownership went to Victor Morabito ( 1919 -- 1964 ) and Tony 's widow , Josephine V. Morabito ( 1910 -- 1995 ) . The 49ers special assistant to the Morabitos , Louis G. Spadia ( 1921 -- 2013 ) was named general manager . Joe Perry played for the 49ers for 14 seasons . During the decade of the 1950s the 49ers were known for their so - called `` Million Dollar Backfield '' , consisting of four future Hall of Fame members : quarterback Y.A. Tittle and running backs John Henry Johnson , Hugh McElhenny , and Joe Perry . They became the only full - house backfield inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame . For most of the next 13 years , the 49ers hovered around . 490 , except for 1963 and 1964 when they went 2 -- 12 and 4 -- 10 respectively . Key players for these 49ers included running back Ken Willard , quarterback John Brodie , and offensive lineman Bruce Bosley . During this time the 49ers became the first NFL team to use the shotgun formation . It was named by the man who actually devised the formation , San Francisco 49ers ' coach Red Hickey , in 1960 . The formation , where the quarterback lines up seven yards behind the center , was designed to allow the quarterback extra time to throw . The formation was used for the first time in 1960 and enabled the 49ers to beat the Baltimore Colts , who were not familiar with the formation . In 1961 , primarily using the shotgun , the 49ers got off to a fast 4 -- 1 start , including two shutouts in back - to - back weeks . In their sixth game they faced the Chicago Bears , who by moving players closer to the line of scrimmage and rushing the quarterback , were able to defeat the shotgun and in fact shut out the 49ers , 31 -- 0 . Though the 49ers went only 3 -- 5 -- 1 the rest of the way , the shotgun eventually became a component of most team 's offenses and is a formation used by football teams at all levels . In 1962 , the 49ers had a frustrating season as they won only 6 games that year . They won only one game at Kezar Stadium while on the road they won five of seven games . After posting a losing record in 1963 . Victor Morabito died May 10 , 1964 , at age 45 . The 1964 season was another lost campaign . According to the 1965 49ers Year Book the co-owners of the team were : Mrs. Josephine V. Morabito Fox , Mrs. Jane Morabito , Mrs. O.H. Heintzelman , Lawrence J. Purcell , Mrs. William O'Grady , Albert J. Ruffo , Franklin Mieuli , Frankie Albert , Louis G. Spadia and James Ginella . The 1965 49ers rebounded nicely to finish with a 7 -- 6 -- 1 record . They were led that year by John Brodie , who after being plagued by injuries came back to become one of the NFL 's best passers by throwing for 3,112 yards and 30 touchdowns . In 1966 , the Morabito widows named Lou Spadia , team president . For the 1968 season , the 49ers hired as their head coach Dick Nolan , who had been Tom Landry 's defensive coordinator with the Dallas Cowboys . Nolan 's first two seasons with the 49ers had gone much the same as the previous decade , with the 49ers going 7 -- 6 -- 1 and 4 -- 8 -- 2 . The 49ers started out the 1970 season 7 -- 1 -- 1 , their only loss a one - point defeat to Atlanta . After losses to Detroit and Los Angeles , the 49ers won their next two games before the season finale against the Oakland Raiders . Going into the game the 49ers had a half - game lead on the Rams and needed either a win or the Giants to defeat the Rams in their finale to give the 49ers their first ever divisional title . In the early game the Giants were crushed by the Rams 31 -- 3 , thus forcing the 49ers to win their game to clinch the division . In wet , rainy conditions in Oakland , the 49ers dominated the Raiders , 38 -- 7 , giving the 49ers their first divisional title , making them champions of the NFC West . The 49ers won their divisional playoff game 17 -- 14 against the defending conference champion Minnesota Vikings , thus setting up a matchup against the Dallas Cowboys for the NFC championship . In the final home game for the 49ers at Kezar Stadium the 49ers kept up with the Cowboys before losing , 17 -- 10 , thus giving the Cowboys their first conference championship . The 49ers sent five players to the Pro Bowl that season , including MVP veteran quarterback John Brodie , wide receiver Gene Washington , and linebacker Dave Wilcox . Nolan was also named NFL Coach of the Year for 1970 . Following the 1970 season the 49ers moved from Kezar Stadium to Candlestick Park . Despite being located on the outskirts of the city , Candlestick Park gave the 49ers a much more modern facility with more amenities that was easier for fans to access by highway . The 49ers won their second straight divisional title in 1971 with a 9 -- 5 record . The 49ers again won their divisional playoff game , this time against the Washington Redskins by a 24 -- 20 final score . This set up a rematch against the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC championship game , this time played in Dallas . Though the defense again held the Cowboys in check , the 49ers offense was ineffective and the eventual Super Bowl champion Cowboys beat the 49ers again , 14 -- 3 . In 1971 , eight 49ers made the Pro Bowl , including defensive back Jimmy Johnson and Gene Washington , both for the second year in a row , as well as defensive end Cedric Hardman , running back Vic Washington , and offensive lineman Forrest Blue . The 49ers won their third consecutive NFC West title in 1972 with five wins in their last six games , making them the only franchise to win their first three divisional titles after the 1970 AFL -- NFL merger . Their opponents this time in the divisional playoffs were the Dallas Cowboys , making it the third consecutive year the teams faced each other in the playoffs . Vic Washington took the opening kickoff 97 yards for a score , and the 49ers took a 21 -- 6 lead in the second quarter . After the 49ers took a 28 -- 13 lead in the 4th quarter , Tom Landry sent quarterback Roger Staubach , who was backing up Craig Morton , into the game . Staubach quickly led the Cowboys on a drive to a field goal , bringing the score to within 28 -- 16 , and as the game wound down it appeared that this would be the last points the Cowboys would get . However , Dallas completed the comeback in the last two minutes . Just after the two - minute warning Staubach took just four plays to drive 55 yards in only 32 seconds , hitting Billy Parks on a 20 - yard touchdown pass to bring the score to 28 -- 23 . Cowboys kicker Toni Fritsch then executed a successful onside kick that was recovered by Mel Renfro , giving the Cowboys the ball at midfield with 1 : 20 left on the clock . With the 49ers on the ropes , Staubach scrambled for 21 yards , then completed a 19 - yard sideline pass to Billy Parks who went out of bounds at the 10 - yard line to stop the clock . Staubach then completed the comeback with a 10 - yard touchdown pass to Ron Sellers with only 52 seconds left , giving the Cowboys a dramatic 30 -- 28 victory and sending the 49ers to yet another crushing playoff defeat . The 49ers run at the top of the NFC West ended in 1973 with the 49ers falling to a 5 -- 9 record , their worst since 1969 . The team lost six of its last eight games , including games to the also - ran New Orleans Saints and Detroit Lions . In the final season of his career , longtime 49ers quarterback John Brodie split playing time with two other quarterbacks , most notably longtime backup Steve Spurrier . The team also suffered from not having a dominant running back , with Vic Washington leading the team with only 534 yards rushing . In 1974 , the 49ers drafted Wilbur Jackson from the University of Alabama to be the team 's primary back . Jackson enjoyed a fine rookie year , leading the 49ers with 705 yards rushing . He and fellow running back Larry Schreiber combined for over 1300 yards rushing . With Steve Spurrier injured and missing nearly the entire year , the 49ers did not have a regular quarterback but did put together a respectable 6 -- 8 record . Following the season , longtime tight end Ted Kwalick left the 49ers to join the World Football League , then the Oakland Raiders upon the WFL 's dissolution . The 49ers dropped to 5 -- 9 in what would be Dick Nolan 's final season as coach in 1975 , losing their final four games of the season . Wilbur Jackson was hurt much of the year and Delvin Williams led the 49ers in rushing with 631 yards rushing . Following the 1975 season the 49ers traded for New England Patriots quarterback Jim Plunkett , former Heisman Trophy winner from nearby Stanford University ( which was also the alma mater of John Brodie ) . Though Plunkett had shown promise with the Patriots , he had not won there and it was thought that he needed a change of scenery . Monte Clark was also brought on as 49ers head coach . The 49ers featured one of the best running games in the NFL in 1976 . Delvin Williams emerged as an elite back , gaining over 1200 yards rushing and made the Pro Bowl . Wilbur Jackson also enjoyed a resurgence , rushing for 792 yards . Once again Gene Washington was the team 's leading receiver with 457 yards receiving and six scores . The 49ers started the season 6 -- 1 for their best start since 1970 . Most of the wins were against second - tier teams , although the 49ers did shut out the Rams 16 -- 0 , in Los Angeles on Monday Night Football . In that game the 49ers recorded 10 sacks , including 6 by Tommy Hart . However , the 49ers lost four games in a row , including two against divisional rivals Los Angeles and Atlanta that proved fatal to their playoff hopes . Louis G. Spadia retired from the 49ers in 1977 upon the team 's sale to the DeBartolo Family . The team was sold to Edward J. DeBartolo Jr. in March 1977 , and despite finishing the season with a winning record of 8 -- 6 , Clark was fired after just one season by newly hired general manager Joe Thomas , who oversaw the worst stretch of football in the team 's history . Under coach Ken Meyer the 49ers lost their first five games of the 1977 season , including being shut out twice . Though they won five of their next six , they lost their last three games to finish the season 5 -- 9 . Playing in San Francisco did not revive Plunkett 's career as he had another disappointing season , throwing only 9 touchdown passes . Bright spots for the 49ers included defensive linemen Tommy Hart and Cleveland Elam , who made the Pro Bowl , and running backs Wilbur Jackson and Delvin Williams , who combined for over 1600 yards rushing . Gene Washington again led the team in receiving in 1977 , his final year with the 49ers . The 1977 offseason was marked by a number of questionable moves by Joe Thomas that backfired badly . Thomas 's big offseason acquisition was running back O.J. Simpson from the Buffalo Bills . As with Plunkett two years previously , it was thought that rescuing Simpson from a bad situation and bringing him to the west coast where he had been raised would rejuvenate his career . To create playing time for Simpson , Thomas traded Delvin Williams to the Miami Dolphins for wide receiver Freddie Solomon . Thomas also released Jim Plunkett , giving up on him after two seasons . Finally , Thomas fired Meyer after only one season , and replaced him with Pete McCulley , his third coach in three seasons . The 1978 season was a disaster for the 49ers , as they finished 2 -- 14 , their only wins coming against the Cincinnati Bengals and Tampa Bay Buccaneers . Simpson indeed led the team in rushing , but with less than 600 yards . It became apparent that Simpson 's knees and body were worn out , and he was near the end of his career . Wilbur Jackson also missed the entire season due to injury . Even worse for the franchise was that their first pick of the 1979 draft was traded to the Bills as part of the O.J. Simpson deal . Joe Thomas was fired following the season . Some of the key players that became part of the 49ers stunning rise began their 49ers career in 1978 . Rookie quarterback Steve DeBerg , Joe Montana 's first mentor , was the 49ers starting quarterback . Running back Paul Hofer and center / guard Randy Cross also started with the 49ers in 1978 . 1979 -- 1980 : arrival of Bill Walsh and Joe Montana ( edit ) The headquarters of The DeBartolo Corporation in Boardman , Ohio with the 49ers logo on the building , signifying the team 's ownership by the Youngstown - based DeBartolo - York family . The team was led in its turnaround from late 1970s doormat by new owner Edward J. DeBartolo Jr. and head coach Bill Walsh . The former head coach of Stanford University was known for stockpiling draft picks , making excellent draft selections , and patching roster holes by acquiring key free agents . Bill Walsh was hired to be the 49ers head coach in the 1978 off - season . Walsh was a disciple of Paul Brown , and served as Brown 's offensive coordinator with the Cincinnati Bengals from 1968 to 1975 . However , Brown did not appoint him as his successor upon his retirement , choosing another assistant , former 49ers center Bill `` Tiger '' Johnson . Desiring head coach experience , Walsh looked to Stanford University in 1977 . He had had some success there before the 49ers tapped him to be their replacement . Walsh is given credit for popularizing the ' West Coast offense ' . The Bill Walsh offense was actually created and refined while he was an assistant coach with the Bengals . The offense utilizes a short , precise , timed passing game as a replacement / augmentation of the running game . The offense is extremely difficult to defend against as it is content to consistently make 6 -- 8 - yard gains all the way down the field . ( The other West Coast offense -- more focused on the vertical , or downfield , passing game -- was actually created by 1960s L.A. / San Diego coach Sid Gillman , and San Diego State coach Don Coryell , who also employed a version of it as head coach of the St. Louis ( football ) Cardinals and San Diego Chargers during a period where it garnered the nickname `` Air Coryell '' . ) In Walsh 's first draft , the 49ers had targeted Notre Dame quarterback Joe Montana as an early round pick . Montana had enjoyed a storied college career , leading the Fighting Irish to the 1977 national title and a number of dramatic comeback victories , the most stunning of all being his final game , at the 1979 Cotton Bowl Classic . Playing the University of Houston in an ice storm , and with Montana suffering from a bad flu , Notre Dame was down 34 -- 10 in the third quarter . However , Montana led a magnificent rally that culminated with him throwing a touchdown pass on the game 's final play to give Notre Dame the 35 -- 34 win . Joe Montana in 2006 Despite this , most scouts did not peg Montana as a top prospect . Although 6'2 '' and 190 -- 200 lbs. , Montana 's arm strength was considered suspect as was the consistency of his play . Although he did get his share of the credit , most thought of him as a system player surrounded by a great team . In the 1979 draft , the Dallas Cowboys were placed just ahead of the 49ers . The Cowboys ' draft strategy through that time was to take the highest - ranked player on their draft board at the time of their selection , regardless of position . When the Cowboys ' turn came up in the third round , the highest rated player on their board was Montana . However , feeling that the quarterback position was in excellent long - term shape with Roger Staubach and Danny White , and desperately needing a tight end , the Cowboys went off their strategy and drafted Doug Cosbie . The 49ers took Montana . The 49ers other notable draft choice of the 1979 draft was wide receiver Dwight Clark in the 10th round . Walsh discovered the unheralded Clark while scouting quarterback Steve Fuller of Clemson University as Clark ran routes for Fuller during Walsh 's evaluation of the quarterback . Walsh 's serendipitous discovery of Clark proved to be an early glimpse into the coach 's keen eye for talent . As Walsh implemented his strategies and game plan , the 49ers had another year of losing , finishing 2 -- 14 like the previous season . There were , however , a number of bright spots . Despite throwing more interceptions ( 21 ) than touchdowns ( 17 ) , Steve DeBerg blossomed under Walsh , throwing for over 3600 yards and completing 60 % of his passes . Freddie Solomon also had a good year , with over 800 yards receiving . The running game was patchwork , with Paul Hofer leading the team with 615 yards and O.J. Simpson , in his final season , rushing for only 460 yards and being sidelined with injuries . The 49ers got off to a strong start in 1980 , winning their first three games of the season . However , the team , still maturing , lost their next eight games in a row . Many of those games though were close , and the 49ers acquitted themselves well . During the season Walsh alternated DeBerg and Montana at quarterback . Though DeBerg had played well for the 49ers , Walsh felt the team 's best chance to win in the long run was with Montana . He alternated the two quarterbacks , giving Montana some experience while keeping opponents off guard . This strategy of alternating quarterbacks from game to game and during games is rare in football , although it had been employed by other successful teams in the past , specifically the Dallas Cowboys of the early 1970s who alternated Roger Staubach and Craig Morton , and the Los Angeles Rams of the early 1949s alternating Norm Van Brocklin and Bob Waterfield . In all DeBerg started nine games , going 4 -- 5 with 1,998 yards , 12 touchdowns and 17 interceptions . Montana started seven games , going 2 -- 5 with 1,795 yards , 15 touchdowns , and nine picks ; Montana also had a better completion percentage at 64.6 to DeBerg 's 57.9 . The highlight of the 1980 season , and a sign of good things to come , came in Week 14 . The 49ers trailed the New Orleans Saints , who at the time were winless at 0 -- 13 , 35 -- 7 at halftime . However , led by Joe Montana , the 49ers made ( what was then ) the greatest comeback in NFL history , coming back to tie the score in regulation and winning the game in overtime with a field goal by Ray Wersching to give the 49ers an incredible 38 -- 35 victory . It was this game , which marked Montana 's first big NFL comeback win , that won Montana the quarterback job full - time . A number of key players emerged for the 49ers in 1980 . Among them were Dwight Clark , who led the 49ers with 82 receptions and just under 1,000 yards receiving , and running back Earl Cooper , who ran for over 700 yards . 1981 -- 1984 : first two Super Bowls ( edit ) See also : 1981 San Francisco 49ers season and The Catch ( American football ) The 49ers playing against the Bengals in Super Bowl XVI . With the offense playing well consistently , Walsh and the 49ers focused on overhauling the defense in 1981 . Walsh took the highly unusual step of overhauling his entire secondary with rookies and untested players , bringing on board Ronnie Lott , Eric Wright and Carlton Williamson and giving Dwight Hicks a prominent role . He also acquired veteran linebacker Jack `` Hacksaw '' Reynolds and veteran defensive lineman and sack specialist Fred Dean . These new additions , when added to existing defensive mainstays like Keena Turner , turned the 49ers into an offensively and defensively balanced , dominant team . After a 1 -- 2 start , the 49ers won all but one of their remaining games to finish with a 13 -- 3 record , up to this point in time it was the team 's best regular season win - loss record in its history . Dean made the Pro Bowl , as did Lott , and Hicks . Led by Montana , the unusual offense was centered on the short passing game , which Walsh used as ball control . Both Dwight Clark and Freddie Solomon had excellent years receiving ; Clark as the possession receiver , and Solomon as more of a deep threat . The 49ers running game , however , was among the weakest in the league . Ricky Patton led the 49ers with only 543 yards rushing . The 49ers ' most valuable running back , however , might have been Earl Cooper , whose strength was as a pass - catching back . The 49ers faced the New York Giants in the divisional playoffs and won , 38 -- 24 . This set up an NFC championship game match - up with the Dallas Cowboys , whom the 49ers historically could not beat during their playoff runs in the early 1970s . The 49ers played the Cowboys tough , but the Cowboys forced six turnovers and held the lead late . The 49ers were down 27 -- 21 and on their own 11 - yard line with 4 : 54 remaining . As Montana had done for Notre Dame and the 49ers so many times before , he led the 49ers on a sustained final 89 - yard drive to the Cowboys ' 6 - yard line . On a 3rd - and - 3 play , with his primary receiver covered , Montana rolled right and threw the ball off balance to Dwight Clark in the end zone , who leaped up and caught the ball to tie the game at 27 ( now known as `` The Catch '' ) , with the extra point giving the 49ers the lead . Despite this , the Cowboys had one last chance to win . On the first play of the next possession , Cowboys receiver Drew Pearson caught a pass from Danny White and got to midfield before he was pulled down by the jersey at the 49ers 44 - yard line by Cornerback Eric Wright saving a potential late - touchdown . On the next play , White was sacked by Lawrence Pillers and fumbled the ball , which was recovered by Jim Stuckey , giving the 49ers the win and a trip to their first ever Super Bowl against the Cincinnati Bengals , who were also in their first Super Bowl . In Super Bowl XVI The 49ers took a 20 -- 0 halftime lead and held on to win 26 -- 21 behind kicker Ray Wersching 's four field goals and a key defensive stand . Throughout the ' 81 season , the defense had been a significant reason for the team 's success , despite residing in the shadow of the then - innovative offense . Montana won MVP honors mostly on the strength of leading the 49ers on a 92 - yard , 12 play drive culminating in a touchdown pass to Earl Cooper . Thus did the 49ers complete one of the most dramatic and complete turnarounds in NFL history , going from a 2 -- 14 season followed by a 6 -- 10 season to a Super Bowl championship . The 1982 season was a bad one for the 49ers , as they lost all five games at Candlestick Park en route to a 3 -- 6 record in a strike - shortened season . This was the 49ers last losing season for the next 17 years . Joe Montana was the one highlight , passing for 2,613 yards in just nine games , highlighted by five straight games in which he broke the 300 - yard barrier . Roger Craig ( middle ) and Joe Montana ( right ) in Super Bowl XIX . In 1983 , the 49ers won their final three games of the season , finishing with a 10 -- 6 record and winning their 2nd NFC Western Divisional Title in three years . Leading the rebound was Joe Montana with another stellar season , passing for 3,910 yards and connecting on 26 touchdowns . In the NFC Divisional Playoffs , they hosted the Detroit Lions . The 49ers jumped out in front early and led 17 -- 9 entering the 4th quarter , but the Lions roared back , scoring two touchdowns to take a 23 -- 17 lead . However , Montana led a comeback , hitting wide receiver Freddie Solomon on a game - winning 14 - yard touchdown pass with 2 : 00 left on the clock to put the 49ers ahead 24 -- 23 . The game ended when a potential game - winning FG attempt by Lions kicker Eddie Murray missed . The next week , the 49ers came back from a 21 -- 0 deficit against the Washington Redskins in the NFC championship game to tie the game , only to lose , after a questionable defensive holding call , 24 -- 21 on a Mark Moseley field goal that sent the Redskins to Super Bowl XVIII . In 1984 , the 49ers had one of the greatest seasons in team history by finishing the regular season 15 -- 1 -- 0 , setting the record for most regular season wins that was later equaled by the 1985 Chicago Bears , the 1998 Minnesota Vikings , the 2004 Pittsburgh Steelers , the 2011 Green Bay Packers and finally broken by the 2007 New England Patriots ( with 16 regular season victories ) . Their 18 wins overall is also still a record , tied by the 1985 Bears and the 2007 New England Patriots ( they won 18 straight , but lost Super Bowl XLII to the New York Giants ) . The 49ers ' only defeat in the 1984 season was a 20 -- 17 loss to the Steelers ; a late field goal attempt in that game by San Francisco kicker Ray Wersching went off the uprights and was no good . In the playoffs , they beat the New York Giants 21 -- 10 , shut out the Chicago Bears 23 -- 0 in the NFC championship , and in Super Bowl XIX the 49ers shut down a record - setting year by NFL MVP Dan Marino ( and his speedy receivers Mark Clayton and Mark Duper ) , beating the Miami Dolphins 38 -- 16 . Their entire defensive backfield ( Ronnie Lott , Eric Wright , Dwight Hicks , and Carlton Williamson ) was elected to the Pro Bowl -- an NFL first . 1985 -- 1987 : arrival of Jerry Rice ( edit ) In the 1985 NFL Draft , the team received the 28th overall pick after winning the Super bowl the previous year . On draft day , the 49ers traded its first two picks for New England 's first - round choice , the 16th selection overall ( the teams also swapped third - round picks as part of the deal ) , and selected Jerry Rice from Mississippi Valley State . It was reported that the Dallas Cowboys , who had the 17th selection overall , were intending to pick him . In the 1985 season , the 49ers were not as dominant as in 1984 , finishing the regular season with a 10 -- 6 record and a wild card berth . Jerry Rice struggled at times ( dropping numerous passes ) , but he still impressed the NFL in his rookie season for the 49ers in 1985 , especially after a 10 - catch , 241 - yard game against the Los Angeles Rams in December . Rice was named NFC Offensive Rookie of the Year after recording 49 catches for 927 yards , and averaging 19.9 yards per catch , Roger Craig became the first NFL player to gain 1,000 yards rushing and 1,000 yards receiving in the same season . In the 1985 playoffs the 49ers were quickly eliminated from the playoffs by the New York Giants 17 -- 3 . In the 1986 NFL season the 49ers got off to a quick start after a 31 -- 7 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on opening day . But the win was costly ; Joe Montana injured his back and was out for two months , the injury was to a spinal disc in Montana 's lower back and required immediate surgery . The injury was so severe that Montana 's doctors suggested that Montana retire . On September 15 , 1986 , the 49ers placed Montana on the injured reserve list , Jeff Kemp became the starting quarterback , and the 49ers went 4 -- 3 -- 1 in September and October . Montana returned to the team on November 6 of that year . In his first game back from injury Montana passed for 270 yards and three touchdown passes in a 43 -- 17 49er victory against the St. Louis Cardinals . The 49ers caught fire , winning the next 5 of the final 7 games , including a 24 -- 14 win over the Los Angeles Rams , to clinch the NFC West title . Jerry Rice continued to show improvement from the previous season catching 86 passes for a league - leading 1,570 yards and 15 touchdowns . Montana was co-recipient of the 1986 NFL Comeback Player of the Year Award , which he shared with Vikings quarterback Tommy Kramer . However , the New York Giants would defeat the 49ers again in the playoffs , 49 -- 3 in the team 's worst post-season loss to date . Montana was again injured in the first half by a hit from the Giants ' Jim Burt . In the off - season , Bill Walsh was concerned about Montana 's health going forward , and with no reliable back - up at quarterback he completed a trade for Steve Young , then a quarterback with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers . During the strike - shortened 1987 season , the 49ers had become one of the NFL 's elite teams once again with a league best 13 -- 2 . Joe Montana had a bounce back year after suffering from the injuries the previous year and being questioned by the media if he could still produce at a high level by throwing 31 touchdown passes , a career - high . He also set the NFL record for most consecutive pass attempts without an incomplete pass ( 22 ) , passed for 3,054 yards , and had a passer rating of 102.1 . Rice had established himself as an elite receiver , he caught 65 passes for 1,078 yards and a then NFL - record 22 touchdowns in just 12 games . 1987 was the second of six seasons in which Rice would lead the NFL in receiving and / or touchdown receptions , he was named Offensive Player of the Year . By the end of the regular season the 49ers were ranked No. 1 on both offense and defense and were heavy favorites to win the Super Bowl . However , they were stunned in the NFC Divisional Round losing to what was believed to be an inferior Minnesota Vikings team 36 -- 24 , their third straight playoff loss in a row . Joe Montana had one of his worst post-season games of his career , and was eventually benched during the game in favor of Steve Young , who scored a rushing touchdown and threw another . After the game Eddie DeBartolo stripped Walsh of the team president title . Dwight Clark retired that off - season . 1988 -- 1989 : back - to - back Super Bowls ( edit ) During the off - season , a quarterback controversy between Joe Montana and Steve Young had begun after Montana 's poor performance in the playoffs the previous year . Many speculated that the 1988 season would be his last year with the team . In the 1988 NFL season , the 49ers struggled to start the season ; Walsh would constantly switch QBs between Montana ( who suffered an elbow injury week 1 that would linger for most of the season ) and Young . At one point , they were 6 -- 5 and the team was in danger of missing the playoffs . Before week 11 , Ronnie Lott called a players - only meeting ; after the meeting the team came together and defeated the defending Super Bowl champion Washington Redskins in a Monday night game , Montana had fully recovered from his injury and retook the starting quarterback job as the team eventually finished the season at 10 -- 6 . They gained a measure of revenge by routing the Minnesota Vikings 34 -- 9 in the divisional playoffs . The 49ers then traveled to Chicago 's Soldier Field for the NFC championship against the Chicago Bears , where the wind chill factor at game time was - 26 ° . However , despite the weather , Joe Montana picked apart the Bears ' top - rated defense by scoring three touchdowns as the 49ers dominated the Bears with a 28 -- 3 victory , earning the team 's third trip to the Super Bowl , to go against the Cincinnati Bengals . In Super Bowl XXIII , despite numerous trips deep into Cincinnati territory by the 49ers , the game was tied 3 -- 3 at halftime . Early in the fourth quarter , Montana tied the score at 13 ; however , Cincinnati regained the lead on a Jim Breech field goal to put the Bengals ahead 16 -- 13 with just over three minutes left on the clock . Following the kickoff , and a holding penalty , the 49ers took over on their 8 - yard line with 3 : 08 left on the clock . Joe Montana began the final drive by stepping into the huddle and remarking to offensive tackle Harris Barton , during a television timeout , `` hey , there 's John Candy '' , as he pointed to the stands on the other side of the field . His calm demeanor reassured the 49ers , and he then engineered what some consider the greatest drive in Super Bowl history , as he drove the team 92 yards for the winning touchdown on a pass to John Taylor with only 34 seconds left , as they captured their third Super bowl championship with a score of 20 -- 16 . Jerry Rice was named Super Bowl MVP . After Super Bowl XXIII , Bill Walsh retired as head coach ; his defensive coordinator and handpicked successor , George Seifert , took over as head coach . In the 1989 NFL season , Joe Montana threw for 3,521 yards and 26 touchdowns , with only 8 interceptions , giving him a 112.4 quarterback rating , which was then the highest single - season passer rating in NFL history , and was named NFL Most Valuable Player . Jerry Rice , in his fifth year in the league , continued to dominate ; he led the league with almost 1490 receiving yards , and 17 touchdowns . The 49ers clinched their fourth straight division title , beating the Los Angeles Rams 30 -- 27 after a dramatic second - half comeback ; they finished 14 -- 2 , gaining home - field advantage throughout the playoffs . Their two losses were by a combined five points . In the divisional playoffs , they easily defeated the Vikings , 41 -- 13 . In the NFC championship game , they played against the Rams for a third time ; the previous two games were decided by a total of 4 points , but they were able to blow out the Rams 30 -- 3 earning another trip to the Super bowl , where they defeated the Denver Broncos in relatively easy fashion by a score of 55 -- 10 in Super Bowl XXIV -- setting a record for points scored and widest margin of victory in a Super Bowl . Montana himself set many Super Bowl records ( some since tied or surpassed ) en route to his third Super Bowl MVP . In winning the Super Bowl , the 49ers became the only team to win back - to - back Super Bowls under different head coaches . This 1989 championship team is often regarded as one of the most dominant teams in NFL history , winning three playoff games by a combined 100 points . 1990 -- 1993 : unsuccessful three - peat / Steve Young steps in ( edit ) 49ers wall of trophies at the Marie P. DeBartolo Sports Center In 1990 , the 49ers won their first 10 games , and they eventually finished 14 -- 2 . They ripped through the season , and the coveted third consecutive Super Bowl victory seemed within reach . In the playoffs , the 49ers dispatched the Washington Redskins 28 -- 10 , setting up a conference championship game with the New York Giants . Despite not scoring a touchdown in the game , the Giants took advantage of a fourth - quarter injury to Montana and converted a faked punt attempt to thwart the 49ers attempt at a `` three - peat . '' The Giants kicked a last - second field goal after recovering a Roger Craig fumble in the final minutes of the game , winning 15 -- 13 and going on to win Super Bowl XXV . During their quest for a `` three - peat '' between 1988 and 1990 , the 49ers set a league record with 19 consecutive road victories . Joe Montana missed almost all of the following two seasons with a recurring elbow injury . Following the 1990 season , the 49ers left team stalwarts Roger Craig and Ronnie Lott unprotected and let them go to the Los Angeles Raiders via Plan B free agency . In 1991 , Steve Young injured the thumb on his throwing hand and later was sidelined with an injured knee . After 10 games , the 49ers had a record of 4 -- 6 . Backup quarterback Steve Bono helped the team win its next five games with Young sidelined . In the final game of the season , Monday night versus the NFC 's number two seed , Young returned and the 49ers beat the Chicago Bears 52 -- 14 , finishing 10 -- 6 . However , the team missed qualifying for the playoffs by virtue of losing the head - to - head tiebreaker to the Atlanta Falcons , which had beaten the 49ers on a last - second Hail Mary pass earlier in the season . The 1992 and 1993 seasons saw a resurgent 49er team under the leadership of Steve Young , but a subpar and aging defense could only take them to the NFC championship game before falling to the Dallas Cowboys each time . In 1992 , Joe Montana came back after missing almost two full seasons due to an elbow injury in his throwing arm , and started the second half of a Monday night game versus Detroit on December 28 , 1992 . With the 49ers clinging to a 7 -- 6 lead , Montana entered the game and looked as though he had not missed a single snap , completing 15 -- 21 for 126 yards and 2 TDs , as the 49ers defeated the Lions 24 -- 6 . The 49ers finished the 1992 season with a 14 -- 2 record and home field advantage in the playoffs . San Francisco defeated the Washington Redskins 20 -- 13 in the divisional playoff game , but lost to the Dallas Cowboys 30 -- 20 in the NFC championship at Candlestick Park . At the end of the 1992 season , partly fueled by media hype , the biggest quarterback controversy in football history was in full swing . After discussions with the owner and the coach , Montana asked for , and was granted , a trade to the Kansas City Chiefs prior to the 1993 season . Despite Eddie DeBartolo wanting Montana to stay and start , Montana realized that he and Young could not stay with the 49ers without a controversy . Montana was later quoted as saying , `` If I had stayed and started , there would have been problems . If I had stayed and Steve Young had started , there would have been problems . '' When Joe Montana left for Kansas City , Steve Young took over and had to fill some big shoes . Fans made it difficult as they had high hopes and if he did not fill those hopes , questions would be brought up from the fans as why would they get rid of Joe Montana . But with the 5th Super Bowl Win in 1994 that eliminated many of the fans questions if he was good enough . The 49ers finished the 1993 season , the team 's first without Joe Montana on the roster , with a 10 -- 6 record and no . 2 seed in the playoffs . San Francisco defeated the New York Giants 44 -- 3 in the divisional playoff game , but lost to the Dallas Cowboys 38 -- 21 in the NFC championship at Texas Stadium . 1994 -- 1998 : fifth Super Bowl ( edit ) A 49ers Super Bowl ring for Super Bowl XXIX . In 1994 , the team spent large amounts of money on the addition of several star free agents from other teams , including Ken Norton Jr. , Gary Plummer , Rickey Jackson , Bart Oates , Richard Dent , Charles Mann and Deion Sanders . Additionally , several rookie players made key contributions to the team , some becoming season - long starters such as defensive tackle Bryant Young , fullback William Floyd , and linebacker Lee Woodall . Due to injuries to the offensive line , the 49ers had some tough times early in the season , including a 40 -- 8 home loss to the Philadelphia Eagles , and a 24 -- 17 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs , led by former 49ers quarterback Joe Montana . Following the Eagles game , a poll conducted on local sports radio station KNBR showed that an overwhelming majority of 49er fans wanted head coach George Seifert fired . The game against the Eagles was a turning point for the 49ers despite the lopsided score . Young was benched in the 3rd quarter and was later seen livid on the sidelines , shouting profanities at Seifert . The following week in Detroit , the 49ers trailed the Lions 14 -- 0 . After throwing a pass , Young was hit , picked up , and driven into the ground by three Lions defenders . After the hit , Young was screaming with his face dark red in color . He crawled most of the way off of the field before refusing help from the trainers as he limped the remaining way off the field . He miraculously returned to the field one play later ( NFL rules state that after trainers attend to an injured player , that player must leave the field for at least one play ) to lead the 49ers to a 27 -- 21 victory . The team rallied around Young to win 10 straight games , including a 21 -- 14 victory over the two - time defending Super Bowl champion Dallas Cowboys . During that span the 49ers ' average margin of victory was nearly 20 points per game , a sustained dominance not seen since the 1985 Chicago Bears . Despite scoring only 8 points in one game and 14 in another , the 49ers set a new record for total regular season and post season combined points scored . That record was later broken by the New England Patriots in 2007 ( the 1998 Minnesota Vikings scored 556 regular season points , but only 68 post season points , for a total of 624 points , while the 1994 49ers scored 495 regular season points and 131 post season points for a total of 626 , the second highest mark in NFL history ) . Even after those initial rough spots early in the season , the 49ers finished the season 13 -- 3 and with home field advantage throughout the playoffs . In their first game , they easily defeated the Chicago Bears , 44 -- 15 , setting up the third straight 49ers -- Cowboys NFC championship game . The 49ers took advantage of three early Cowboys turnovers , taking a 21 -- 0 lead in the first quarter . Taking a 31 -- 14 lead into halftime after a perfect 29 - yard pass from Young to Rice in the closing seconds , the game appeared to be far out of reach for the Cowboys . But a 49er fumble on the opening kick of the 3rd quarter led to a Cowboy score , cutting the lead to 31 -- 21 . Later , the 49ers responded with a Steve Young touchdown run , making it 38 -- 21 , before the Cowboys scored another touchdown in the final minutes for a final score of 38 -- 28 . The convincing win qualified the 49ers for their fifth Super Bowl appearance , and the first to be played by two teams from California . The 49ers steamrolled the San Diego Chargers 49 -- 26 , at the time becoming the first team to win a record five Super Bowls . With a record 6 touchdown passes , Steve Young was named the game 's MVP . Their run of five Super Bowl wins in 14 seasons ( 1981 -- 1994 ) solidified them as one of the all - time greatest NFL teams . The 49ers made the playoffs in 1995 and again in 1996 , being eliminated by the Green Bay Packers both times in the Divisional Round . On January 17 , 1997 , George Seifert retired as 49ers head coach . On the same day as Seifert 's retirement , the 49ers hired Cal head coach Steve Mariucci as his replacement . At the time , Mariucci only had one year of head - coaching experience at any level . The first game of the 1997 season against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was a disaster , as both quarterback Steve Young and receiver Jerry Rice went down with injuries . Rice appeared to be out for the season with a serious knee injury , while Steve Young left the game with one of the many concussions he suffered throughout his career . However , the team overcame adversity : Steve Young returned two weeks later , and with the league 's number one defense , the 49ers finished the season with a 13 -- 3 record which included an 11 - game winning streak which was the longest by a rookie head coach at the time , and the 49ers became the quickest team in NFL history to clinch their division at the time . Rice returned for one and a half quarters in week 16 against the Denver Broncos , before getting another injury to his knee ( unrelated to the first one ) . In the playoffs the 49ers defeated the Minnesota Vikings 38 -- 22 , advancing to the NFC championship game for the first time since 1994 , where they again met the Green Bay Packers at Candlestick Park , but lost 23 -- 10 . During that season Eddie DeBartolo Jr. was involved in a corruption investigation regarding Louisiana Governor Edwin Edwards and one of his Mississippi riverboat casinos . DeBartolo later pleaded guilty to a failure to report a felony charge in 1998 . He was suspended from active control of the 49ers for one year . His sister , Denise , and her husband , Dr. John York , took over operations of the team . In 1998 , Jerry Rice finally returned from his knee injury week 1 against the New York Jets , a game best remembered for running back Garrison Hearst 's 96 - yard touchdown run in overtime to win the game . The 49ers had the 2nd most productive offense in league history . Steve Young , who was questioned if his concussion history would put an end to his career , had his best season , throwing for 4,170 yards , 36 touchdowns and only 12 interceptions . A healthy Jerry Rice , 3rd - year player Terrell Owens , and 4th - year player J.J. Stokes became the first WR - trio in team history to catch at least 60 passes in the same season , Hearst ran for 1,570 yards and 7 touchdowns while averaging 5.1 yards per carry . The 49ers finished 12 -- 4 , their 16th straight winning season ( all with 10 wins or more ) , earning a wildcard berth . Once again , the 49ers faced the Green Bay Packers in the playoffs . Things looked bleak when the 49ers trailed 27 -- 23 in the waning seconds . However , in the game 's final moment , Young hit Terrell Owens ( who was having a terrible game up to that point ) on a dramatic , game - winning 25 - yard touchdown pass , dubbed by many as `` The Catch II '' . That put the 49ers ahead 30 -- 27 with just three seconds left on the game clock , sealing the win . After finally beating the Packers , the 49ers went on to lose to the eventual NFC champion Atlanta Falcons in the Divisional round 20 -- 18 , in a game that was marked by Hearst suffering a gruesome broken ankle on the first play from scrimmage . 1999 -- 2002 : ownership change ( edit ) DeBartolo returned from his suspension in 1999 , but a series of lawsuits over control of the family 's vast holdings led him to surrender controlling interest to the Yorks as part of a 2000 settlement . Denise York became chairwoman of the board , while John York became CEO . On the field , the 1999 49ers got off to a 3 -- 1 start , then in a nationally televised Monday Night Football game against the Arizona Cardinals , Steve Young suffered a blindside hit from cornerback Aeneas Williams that knocked him out of the game and eventually convinced him to retire . At the time it was believed the severe hit ended his career but Young later said in interviews he could have come back to play another season or two . After meeting with then - general manager Bill Walsh and being told about how the salary cap troubles would make the team non-competitive , Young chose to retire rather than risk his long - term health further for a likely losing club . Without their future Hall of Famer , 29 - year - old rookie Jeff Garcia took over as starting quarterback , but he would be benched for poor performances in favor of Steve Stenstrom . Garcia would be reinstated as the starting quarterback and in the final 5 games of the regular season . The 49ers lost 11 of their last 12 games , and suffered their first losing season in a non-strike year since 1980 , which was also the last time that the 49ers did not win at least ten or more games in a season . Bobb McKittrick , 49ers offensive line coach since 1979 , also died of cancer following the 1999 season . Before the 2000 season Jeff Garcia was named the starting quarterback despite the 49ers drafting two quarterbacks ( Giovanni Carmazzi in the third round and Tim Rattay in the seventh ) . Garcia kept the starting job throughout the season and showed drastic improvement from the previous year . He broke a franchise record for most passing yards in one season , with 4,278 passing yards and 31 touchdowns and only 10 interceptions . Garcia and Terrell Owens , who established himself as the team 's number - one receiver , both earned their first Pro Bowl selections . However , the 49ers finished 6 -- 10 , missing the playoffs for the second straight season for the first time since 1979 and 1980 , due to a defense that gave up 26.4 points per game and a total of 422 points . The 2000 season was Jerry Rice 's final year with the 49ers ; he played 16 seasons with the team . In the 2001 season the 49ers established themselves as a playoff team once again after two down years . They finished with a 12 -- 4 record and a wildcard berth . A quarter of their wins came in 4th - quarter comebacks . Their defense also had a bounce - back year , going from the 28th - ranked defense in 2000 , to the 9th - ranked . Terrell Owens had become Jeff Garcia 's favorite target . Garrison Hearst , who had been forced to retire from football after breaking his ankle in the 1998 divisional playoffs , finally returned to the line - up after over two years of rehabilitation . He became the first player in NFL history to come back to football after suffering avascular necrosis . He had an excellent season , rushing for 1,206 yards on a 4.8 average . His comeback earned him the NFL Comeback Player of the Year Award . In the final 6 weeks of the season the 49ers defense shut out 3 teams ( the Buffalo Bills , Miami Dolphins , and New Orleans Saints ) , and had one of the most stupendous goal - line stands against the Philadelphia Eagles . In the team 's first playoff game in 2 years , they played against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field in the NFC Wild Card , but lost 25 -- 15 . The 2002 NFL season began with the divisional realignment . The 49ers gained two new divisional rivals , the Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals , while former divisional foes Atlanta Falcons , New Orleans Saints , and Carolina Panthers moved to the newly formed NFC South . The team 's production dropped from the previous year . Jeff Garcia went from having 31 and 32 TDs in the previous 2 seasons , to only 21 in 2002 . The 49ers defense struggled at times , dropping from the 9th - ranked defense in the previous season to the 19th - ranked . Even though the team did not have the same success as they did in the 2001 regular season , the 49ers won the NFC West for the first time since 1997 , with the division - clinching game coming on a last - second TD pass to Terrell Owens against the Dallas Cowboys . The 49ers finished 10 -- 6 . In the 2002 -- 03 NFL playoffs they hosted the New York Giants in the 2002 NFC Wild Card . The Giants had a 38 -- 14 lead late in the third quarter ; however , the Giants defense , which had been highly ranked all year , began to collapse , and by the final minute in the 4th quarter Jeff Garcia had led the team back from the 24 - point deficit to take a 1 - point lead . Giants quarterback Kerry Collins then led a drive in the game 's final minute to put the Giants at the 49ers ' 23 - yard line with six seconds left for a shot at a game - winning field goal . Long snapper Trey Junkin , who had been signed by the Giants that week , made a bad snap , so holder Matt Allen attempted a desperate pass down the field , which fell incomplete , but there was a flag on the play . The initial thought by spectators and the Giants was that pass interference had clearly been committed by the 49ers defense , but the flag was against the Giants for an ineligible receiver , so the game was over . The next day , the NFL admitted that the referee had blown the call , that the 49ers had indeed committed pass interference , and that the down should have been replayed . A press conference was held and a reporter asked 49ers head coach Steve Mariucci about his thoughts on the NFL saying they blew the call , and he replied : `` Bummer . '' It was the second - biggest comeback victory in NFL playoff history , with the 49ers winning 39 -- 38 . The 49ers lost the next week to the eventual Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Divisional round , 31 -- 6 . This was the last postseason appearance for the 49ers until the 2011 -- 12 playoffs . Steve Mariucci , whose published statements about his degree of power in the organization had frayed already - strained relations with management , was fired by John York , despite a winning record . 2003 -- 2010 : struggles ( edit ) Then - Oregon State head coach Dennis Erickson was signed to a five - year contract to replace Mariucci . The hiring of Erickson was highly criticized by the fans and the media , as Erickson 's offensive philosophy was very different from the West Coast offense . The 2003 season was one of turmoil for the 49ers . While the Niners started the season with a 49 -- 7 demolishing of Chicago , the team quickly began to unravel afterwards , as the relationship between Garcia and Owens turned sour upon Garcia taking issue with Owens 's public praise for the play of backup quarterback Tim Rattay . Garcia responded with a cryptic remark of `` we can not let the sickness spread '' ; in response , Owens wore a surgeon 's mask at the following practice . The team was also ravaged by injuries to key players on both sides of the ball ; the often reckless play of Jeff Garcia started to take a toll on him , as he was forced to miss 3 games during the season . The 49ers finished 7 -- 9 and missed the playoffs . Despite this disappointing result , Erickson was retained as coach for the 2004 season . Owens ' on - and off - field antics led to the 49ers trading him to the Philadelphia Eagles during the offseason . Several other key 49er players were released due to salary cap concerns , including Garcia and Hearst . The team finished the 2004 season with a 2 -- 14 record , tying a franchise worst and finishing last in the NFC West for the first time since 1979 , ending what had been the NFL 's longest active streak for not finishing last in a division . With the worst record in the NFL the team secured the rights to the first pick in the NFL Draft . Dennis Erickson and general manager Terry Donahue were fired . 49ers ' former running back Frank Gore in action against the St. Louis Rams in 2007 After an extensive coaching search , the 49ers hired the defensive coordinator of the Baltimore Ravens Mike Nolan as their head coach . Nolan was the son of Dick Nolan , who had led the team to three consecutive playoff appearances from 1970 to 1972 . The 49ers did not hire a general manager . In Mike Nolan 's first draft as head coach , he selected quarterback Alex Smith from the University of Utah with the first overall pick of the 2005 NFL Draft . It was a pick predicted by most , though many thought the 49ers might select local product Aaron Rodgers of the University of California . Alex Smith 's rookie season was a disaster , producing only one touchdown against eleven interceptions . The team finished 4th in the NFC West for the second consecutive year , with a 4 -- 12 record . This earned the 49ers the 6th pick in the 2006 NFL Draft which they used to draft tight end Vernon Davis . Alex Smith and the team improved greatly in 2006 , led by second year player Frank Gore from the University of Miami . Gore ran for a franchise record of 1,695 rushing yards , which led the NFC , along with 8 TDs . He was awarded his first Pro Bowl appearance . They also swept division rival and defending NFC Champion , Seattle Seahawks , and kept the Denver Broncos from a playoff berth in the last game of the season . However , the team finished 7 -- 9 , their fourth consecutive losing season . 49ers ' former quarterback Alex Smith In the off - season , the 49ers signed cornerback Nate Clements and safety Michael Lewis to improve their secondary . Clement 's contract was worth $80 million for eight years , the largest contract given to a defensive player in NFL history at the time . In the NFL Draft , the 49ers made another key addition to their defense , selecting middle linebacker Patrick Willis with the 11th overall pick . Willis would eventually be named the 2007 AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year . Before the beginning of the 2007 season , Hall of Fame coach Bill Walsh died of complications from leukemia . The 49ers started the season 2 -- 0 , for the first time since 1998 . In the fourth game of the season , against the Seattle Seahawks , Alex Smith suffered a separated shoulder on the third play of the game , an injury that severely hampered his play and ultimately led to an early end to his 2008 campaign after having shoulder surgery . Chiefly due to back up quarterback Trent Dilfer 's struggles and Alex Smith 's injury , the 49ers lost eight straight consecutive games from week three through week twelve , ending the year with a disappointing 5 -- 11 record . Questions were raised about the future of Alex Smith , whose first three seasons had been plagued by inconsistent play , injuries , and never having had the same offensive coordinator from one year to the next . Head coach Mike Nolan and new offensive coordinator Mike Martz stated that a competition between Smith , Shaun Hill , and NFL journeyman J.T. O'Sullivan would run through the first two preseason games of 2008 . O'Sullivan was named the 49ers starter because of his familiarity with the Martz offense and after performing better than Smith or Hill in the first three preseason games . On October 20 , 2008 , after a 2 -- 5 start , Mike Nolan was fired . Assistant head coach Mike Singletary , a Hall of Fame linebacker with the Chicago Bears , was named as the interim head coach . Singletary proved to be a fan favorite when after his first game as head coach he delivered a memorable post game interview . Singletary said of their loss : `` ... right now , we 've got to figure out the formula . Our formula . Our formula is this : We go out , we hit people in the mouth . '' The team went 5 -- 4 overall under Singletary , winning five of its final seven games and ending the season with a 7 -- 9 record . After the last game of the season , Singletary was named permanent head coach by Jed York , who had been appointed as team president just days before . Jed York is the oldest son of John York and Denise DeBartolo York . The offense of the 49ers in 2007 . Quarterback Trent Dilfer is wearing # 12 . On April 25 , 2009 , the 49ers selected Texas Tech WR Michael Crabtree , a player many people thought would go in the top five , with the 10th pick in the first round of the 2009 NFL Draft . The 2009 training camp became the first since 2005 that the 49ers failed to have all drafted rookies signed and in training camp on time , as Crabtree held out trying to reach a contract . He finally reached a contract agreement on October 7 , 2009 , having missed the first four games of the regular season . The 49ers posted an 8 -- 8 record after a frustrating season , losing only 2 games by more than a touchdown . Nevertheless , it was the team 's first non-losing season since 2002 . Despite missing the playoffs for the seventh straight season , several key players showed signs of improvement . Alex Smith regained his role as the 49ers ' starting quarterback ( after Shaun Hill had won the starting job in training camp ) , passing for more than 2,000 yards with 19 touchdowns , while Frank Gore collected his fourth consecutive 1,000 - yard season , a 49ers record . Safety Dashon Goldson showed signs of potential in his first year as full - time starter , as he tallied 94 tackles , four interceptions , three forced fumbles , and two sacks . Vernon Davis in particular had a breakthrough year at tight end , earning Pro Bowl honors with 965 yards and 13 touchdowns ( tying the NFL record for his position ) . 2010 saw five 49ers go to the Pro Bowl : Patrick Willis , Vernon Davis , Frank Gore , Justin Smith , and punter Andy Lee . The 2010 season started with the 49ers heavy favorites to win the NFC West after Cardinals QB Kurt Warner retired early in the offseason , but the season was a disaster . They started 0 -- 5 , their worst start since the dark days of 1979 . In week 3 , the 49ers fired offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye , who had been hand - picked by Singletary in the 2009 offseason . Starting safety Michael Lewis demanded to be released after he was demoted in favor of rookie safety Taylor Mays . By mid-season , Singletary was switching QBs between Alex Smith and Troy Smith , who had been picked up in free agency after the preseason , but with little effect . On December 27 , 2010 , the 49ers fired Mike Singletary as head coach , naming defensive line coach Jim Tomsula as interim head coach for the last game of the season , where despite crushing the Cardinals 38 -- 7 , they finished a sad and disappointing 6 -- 10 and missed the playoffs yet again . 2011 -- 2014 : Jim Harbaugh era ( edit ) On January 4 , 2011 , Jed York promoted interim General Manager Trent Baalke to be the permanent general manager . Baalke had taken over the role after former general manager Scot McCloughan was relieved of his duties the year before . Two days later , on January 7 , 2011 , former head coach of Stanford University Jim Harbaugh was named the 49ers new head coach . In the 2011 NFL Draft , the 49ers selected defensive end / linebacker Aldon Smith from the University of Missouri with the seventh pick of the first round . The 49ers also selected quarterback Colin Kaepernick from the University of Nevada , Reno with the 36th overall pick in the second round . In 2011 , Jim Harbaugh was named the new head coach of the 49ers . After the end of a labor dispute that nearly threatened to postpone or cancel the 2011 season the 49ers made a controversial decision to re-sign Alex Smith to a one - year $4.8 million contract . Because of the decision to retain Smith , and a shortened offseason with an entirely new coaching staff being hired , the team was expected to be among the league 's worst by NFL prognosticators . Despite this , Harbaugh 's first season was a huge success . After 10 weeks the 49ers were 9 -- 1 , highlighted by road wins against the Philadelphia Eagles , where the team came back from a 20 - point deficit in the second half , and the previously unbeaten Detroit Lions . The 49ers defense became one of the most intimidating in the league , particularly against the run -- not allowing a 100 - yard rusher or a single rushing touchdown until week 16 of the regular season . Alex Smith blossomed in the new system , reviving his career while playing for yet another new offensive coordinator -- his sixth in six years . In week 13 the 49ers won the NFC West with a victory against the St. Louis Rams , finally ending their nine - year playoff drought . The 49ers finished the season with a 13 -- 3 record , earning the second overall seed in the NFC Playoffs . In the Divisional Playoffs they defeated the New Orleans Saints 36 -- 32 after a touchdown pass from Alex Smith to Vernon Davis in the closing seconds of the game . The team reached the NFC championship for the first time since 1997 , and faced the New York Giants . They lost to the Giants with a 20 -- 17 score in overtime after two critical fumbles by backup return man Kyle Williams , ending their 2011 season with disappointment but great promise . In 2012 , the 49ers were predicted to be the NFC West champions and possibly make a run for the Super Bowl . Starting the season 6 -- 2 , the 49ers went on to face the rival St. Louis Rams in Week 10 . Alex Smith suffered a concussion in the second quarter and exited the game . He was replaced by 2011 second - round pick Colin Kaepernick , who led the 49ers back to tie the game . The next week , Kaepernick and the 49ers blew out the Chicago Bears 32 -- 7 , and Harbaugh chose Kaepernick as the starter next week against the New Orleans Saints , despite Smith being cleared to play . A quarterback controversy began . Despite Smith leading the NFL in completion percentage ( 70 % ) and passer rating ( 104.1 ) , Kaepernick was considered more dynamic with his scrambling ability and arm strength . Kaepernick eventually started the rest of the season , going 5 -- 2 . Kaepernick set the record for rushing yards for a quarterback in the playoffs with 181 rushing yds against the Green Bay Packers . The 49ers defeated the Packers and Atlanta Falcons in the playoffs and advanced to Super Bowl XLVII , but were denied their sixth Super Bowl win against the Baltimore Ravens , who were coached by John Harbaugh , 34 -- 31 . The top performers were : passing : C. Kaepernick ( SF ) -- 302 YDS , 1 TD , 1 INT ; rushing : F. Gore ( SF ) -- 19 CAR , 110 YDS , 1 TD ; receiving : M. Crabtree ( SF ) -- 5 REC , 109 YDS , 1 TD . Another storyline towards the end of the 2012 season was the reliability of kicker David Akers . Towards the end of the season , he began to show signs of decline , missing one field goal of 20 -- 30 yards , two field goals of 30 -- 40 yards , and six field goals of 40 -- 50 yards for a below - average conversion percentage of 69 % . Akers was released on March 6 , 2013 . Shortly afterwards , the 49ers signed veteran kicker Phil Dawson . The 49ers would also trade a sixth round draft pick for wide receiver Anquan Boldin from the Baltimore Ravens , the team that had beaten them in the Super Bowl . The 49ers finished 12 -- 4 in the 2013 regular season and enter the playoffs as a wildcard , with their first game at Lambeau Field against the Green Bay Packers . On January 5 , 2014 , San Francisco 49ers defeated Green Bay Packers 23 -- 20 . On January 12 , 2014 , the 49ers defeated the Carolina Panthers 23 -- 10 , thus advancing to their third straight NFC championship game . However , the 49ers ' season ended at CenturyLink Field in Seattle , when a pass intended for Michael Crabtree was tipped by cornerback Richard Sherman and intercepted by linebacker Malcolm Smith , losing to the Seattle Seahawks , 23 -- 17 . After the Niners had their first 8 -- 8 season in 4 years , which included losses to the Bay Area rival Oakland Raiders , Chicago Bears , and St. Louis Rams , the collapse of a once - dominant offensive line , failing to reach the playoffs , Harbaugh and the 49ers decided to part ways on December 28 , 2014 , after the season 's final game , against the Arizona Cardinals , which the 49ers won 20 -- 17 . Replacement of Candlestick Park ( edit ) Main article : Levi 's Stadium On November 8 , 2006 , reports surfaced that the 49ers ended negotiations with the city of San Francisco about building a new stadium and plan to do so in Santa Clara , a suburb of San Jose , California ; Santa Clara already hosts the team 's administrative headquarters and training facility . The Yorks and then - San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom had been talking over the last few months about building a privately financed stadium at Candlestick Point that was intended to be part of the city 's bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics . The 49ers ' final decision to move the stadium ended the San Francisco bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics . San Francisco , Los Angeles , and Chicago were the three cities competing to be the U.S. Olympic Committee 's choice to bid on the 2016 games , with Chicago emerging as the eventual victor . The 49ers sponsored Measure J , which appeared on the June 8 , 2010 Santa Clara ballot , to build a new stadium as the future home of the San Francisco 49ers in that city . The measure passed with 58.2 % of the total vote . This was seen as the first step for the 49ers stadium relocation to a new venue to be built in Santa Clara . The 68,490 - seat venue , Levi 's Stadium , landed rights for its first event . The stadium will be home to the Fight Hunger Bowl . On the 49ers website , the team 's owner , businessman John York had a letter stating that after a stadium is constructed in Santa Clara , the team would retain its name `` San Francisco '' even though the team would no longer be located within Metro San Francisco . United States Senator Dianne Feinstein and other leaders threatened an attempt to prevent the team from using `` San Francisco '' or the `` 49ers '' in the team name , but probably would not have succeeded without changes to state or federal law . Because of the team moving to Santa Clara ( which is adjacent to San Jose , which is larger than San Francisco by 145,000 residents , and 30 miles from San Francisco ) , the 49ers now become the only current ( and possibly at any time ) team in any major or minor league sport in the U.S. to use the moniker of a city further way ( San Francisco ) from the stadium / arena than a closer city with a higher population ( San Jose ) . York later confirmed in a press conference on November 9 , 2011 , that the team would build a new state of the art stadium in Santa Clara in time for the 2014 season . Groundbreaking for the new stadium took place on April 19 , 2012 . On May 8 , 2013 , the NFL 's San Francisco 49ers announced that San Francisco - based Levi Strauss & Co. had purchased the naming rights to their new stadium in Santa Clara . The naming rights deal calls for Levi 's to pay $220.3 million to the city of Santa Clara and the 49ers over 20 years , with an option to extend the deal for another five years for around $75 million . 2015 -- 2016 : post-harbaugh struggles ( edit ) Jim Tomsula was hired on January 14 , 2015 to replace Jim Harbaugh . Subsequently , Geep Chryst was promoted to offensive coordinator and Eric Mangini was hired as defensive coordinator . On March 10 , 2015 , All - Pro linebacker Patrick Willis announced his retirement from the NFL due to repeated injuries to both feet . A week later on March 17 , linebacker Chris Borland , Patrick Willis ' presumed replacement , announced his retirement from the NFL due to fears of the effects of head trauma . These two retirements left the 49ers linebackers position group weakened as they headed into an offseason under first year head coach Jim Tomsula . Two other developments during the 49ers off season , the retirements of starters DE Justin Smith , and RT Anthony Davis , and the uncertainty of LB Aldon Smith 's availability due to his legal issues . The 49ers signed running back Reggie Bush , wide receiver Torrey Smith , and defensive tackle Darnell Dockett . On January 4 , 2016 , the 49ers fired Tomsula after he led them to a 5 -- 11 record . On January 14 , 2016 , Chip Kelly was hired as head coach . Kelly 's tenure began with an emphatic 28 -- 0 victory over the Los Angeles Rams on Monday Night Football . However , the team went on to lose 13 straight games until they narrowly defeated the Rams 22 -- 21 on December 24 , 2016 . On October 21 , 2016 , in an ESPN ranking of professional sports franchises , the 49ers were ranked the worst franchise in North America . The 49ers ended up firing Kelly and Baalke following the conclusion of the regular season , finishing with a 2 -- 14 record . 2017 -- present : arrival of Kyle Shanahan and Jimmy Garoppolo ( edit ) After hiring John Lynch as general manager and Kyle Shanahan as head coach , the Niners started the 2017 season with nine consecutive losses . After a win over the New York Giants and a loss to the Seattle Seahawks , the 49ers traded for New England Patriots backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo . They won their next five games with Garoppolo at the helm and finished the season 6 -- 10 . Championships ( edit ) Super Bowls ( edit ) The 49ers have won a total of 5 Super Bowls . They won their first 3 under Bill Walsh . Walsh retired after winning his 3rd in 1988 , but first year head coach George Seifert did n't miss a beat , winning the Super Bowl in his very first year in 1989 . He would also win one more in 1994 .

An alternate logo with a shield - shaped crest formed from the number `` 49 '' , with a football in the upper right quadrant and `` SF '' in the lower left quadrant was created in 1965 and used for marketing purposes until 1972 . From 1962 , the 49ers ' logo has been the iconic `` SF '' within the center of a red oval ; throughout the years the logo has had minor modifications , such as a black outlining on the intertwined `` SF '' that was added in 1989 and a gold trimming inside the oval that was added in 1996 . Uniforms ( edit ) The evolution of the 49ers ' uniform , 1946 -- present The San Francisco 49ers currently have two different uniforms : red and gold home uniforms and white , red , and gold road uniforms . However , the 49ers have changed uniform designs and color combinations quite often throughout their history . From the team 's inception in 1946 , they wore dark or cardinal red , switching to scarlet red jerseys and gold pants for the 1948 season , with a gold helmet with one red stripe , with solid red socks and pants with no stripes . Entering the 1949 season , the first in the NFL , the 49ers adopted three stripes to their red jerseys , wearing gold helmets and pants , with no stripes and red socks with three white stripes . In the 1953 , ' 54 , and ' 55 seasons , the 49ers wore red helmets with a gold stripe in the middle , with silver pants with one single stripe of red . The socks also added the three stripes similar to the jersey 's . 1955 was also unique in that the 49ers wore white pants with a black stripe bounded by two red stripes , and shadow drop numbers on their red jerseys , with black shadow drop borders on the white numerals . The following season , 1956 , the team wore white helmets with no stripes , and white pants with a red stripe . In 1957 the 49ers wore red jerseys , a gold helmet with no stripes , and gold pants with no stripes ; for the first time the 49ers wore white on the road , as dictated by the NFL for all teams , to have at least one team wearing a light colored jersey during games . The first white jersey had two red stripes with a gold in the middle , as was their road socks : white , with two red stripes and gold in the middle . San Francisco wore red and gold in 1958 as well , with their white jersey having a single shoulder loop stripe , as well as adding TV numbers to the sleeves of their home and away jerseys . And in contrast to the socks at home , red with three red stripes , the away socks were solid red . In 1959 the team switched to red and platinum gold ( looking more like silver ) , and for the next several years afterwards , with their white jerseys having double shoulder loop stripes ( mimicking UCLA 's ) , but continuing with the three white stripes on the sleeves above the elbow and below the TV numbers , with the red home jerseys . In 1960 , the team added `` Northwestern '' red stripes to their helmets ( a thicker middle stripe bordered by two thinner stripes ) , and that changed in 1962 , with the addition of the helmet design the team has mostly worn since : white stripe bounded by two red , with the red oval and SF logo on the sides of the helmet . In 1964 the team 's colors then changed again . All silver elements were changed to what was called `` 49er Gold ; '' helmets were gold . New beige - gold pants with a red - white - red tri-stripe in the same style as the helmet were introduced . Uniform 's basic design would be worn for practically the next 30 seasons with only some minor changes and adjustments , such as a gradual change over from sans - serif to serifed block numerals from 1970 to 1974 and a switch from thin stripes to a very thick pant striping in 1976 ( during which white jerseys were also worn at home for most of that season ) . The uniform ensemble of red and white jerseys , and beige - gold pants with thick striping were worn until 1995 with a few minor changes . During the 1994 season , many NFL teams wore `` throwback uniforms '' on occasional games to celebrate the NFL 's 75th anniversary ( a corresponding diamond - shaped 75th Anniversary patch was also worn by all teams ) . The 49ers chose to wear a version of their 1955 uniforms as their throwbacks , with simpler sans - serif block numerals that were outlined and shadowed in black with White pants with thinner red - black - red striping were also worn , along with the old striped red socks . The regular 1989 -- 95 design gold helmet was worn with this uniform , as there was no logo on the 1955 helmet . In 1996 , the 49ers celebrated their 49th anniversary by designing a commemorative jersey patch based on the earlier shield - crest logo . The team also debuted a substantially new uniform design , most notably changing the shade of red used in their jerseys from bright scarlet to a deeper , cardinal red a black dropshadow effect ( along with gold trim ) was added to the jersey numerals ( which remained in the blocked serif style ) . As in 1994 , the Niners donned white pants full - time for the 1996 season ( also wearing them for the 1997 season and 1998 preseason , ) though this time the pant stripes were marginally thicker and the colors were reversed to black - cardinal red - black ( matching the striping on the helmets ) . For the 1998 regular season opener , the team switched back to gold pants , with a more metallic gold rather than the previous beige - matte gold of the past . The striping along the side of the pants remained black - cardinal red - black , though a thin gold trimming was added , along with further oval `` SF '' logos placed on both sides of the hip . The 1996 helmet and jersey design with the 1998 gold pants was worn as the team 's regular uniforms until the end of the 2008 season . The 49ers once again changed uniforms in 2009 , which are very similar to the classic design , albeit with several significant changes . The sleeve stripes are now set at an angle to accommodate the even shorter sleeves of modern jerseys , ( though the stripes appear straight and parallel to the ground when worn by the players themselves ) . An updated 49ers uniform with improved fit , and more breathable and moisture - resistant fabrics was debuted ( alongside the rest of the NFL teams ) by new league uniform manufacturer Nike on April 3 , 2012 . On April 30 , 2015 at their NFL Draft rally , the team unveiled their first ever alternate uniform ( as opposed to a throwback design ) . The uniform consists of black jerseys and pants with red numerals and striping . Nike logos are in gold , while the standard solid red socks will be worn . These uniforms will be worn a maximum of two games a year , per league rules . Cheerleaders and mascot ( edit ) Cheerleaders ( edit ) The 49ers official cheerleading squad is called the Gold Rush . Started in 1983 , the team typically consists of anywhere from 34 to 40 young female dancers . Mascot ( edit ) The 49ers official mascot is Sourdough Sam . He wears jersey number 49 . Rivalries ( edit ) The San Francisco 49ers have three rivals within their division : the Los Angeles Rams , the Arizona Cardinals , and the Seattle Seahawks . They also have rivalries with other teams that arose from post-season games in the past , most notably the Dallas Cowboys , New York Giants , and Green Bay Packers . They also have an intense crosstown rivalry with the Oakland Raiders and share an intrastate rivalry with the Los Angeles Chargers ( the two teams have played each other nearly every preseason , and every four years in the regular season , and also met in Super Bowl XXIX ) . NFC West ( edit ) Los Angeles Rams ( edit ) Main article : 49ers -- Rams rivalry The rivalry between the Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers is considered by many to be one of the greatest NFL rivalries ever , placing No. 8 on Sports Illustrated 's `` Top 10 NFL Rivalries of All Time '' list , compiled in 2008 . After the Rams moved to St. Louis , Roger Craig stated in Tales from the San Francisco 49ers Sideline that `` the Rams will always be the 49ers ' biggest rival . It does n't matter if they no longer play in Los Angeles . If the Rams played their home games on Mars , it would still be a rivalry . '' In fact , the Rams are the only team to have played the 49ers twice every season for the last 58 seasons to combine for more than 100 regular season games ; the all - time regular season lead is held by the 49ers 65 -- 63 -- 3 . They have only met once in a playoff game , when the 49ers beat the Rams 30 -- 3 in 1989 . Seattle Seahawks ( edit ) Main article : 49ers -- Seahawks rivalry The Seattle Seahawks have become a new rival of the 49ers , following the NFL 's realignment in 2002 that put both teams in the same division ( Seattle had been a brief former rival during their inaugural 1976 season , when the team was in the old pre-realignment NFC West ) . Prior to 2002 , the teams played each other almost every season during the pre-season , but only every three years during the regular season when the AFC West and NFC West teams faced each other . So far , their rivalry has not been as intense as other division foes because for the most part both teams have not been good at the same time . In the middle to late part of the decade , the Seahawks lost the division and their favorable record against the 49ers reflected this . However , games at CenturyLink Field , one of the toughest stadiums to play at as a visiting team , have still been difficult to win . The 49ers have a 3 -- 7 record all - time at that stadium , with their largest margin of victory there being ten points , and failed to score a touchdown in four of those losses . The rivalry has intensified after the 49ers hired Jim Harbaugh out of Stanford in 2011 , as he and Seahawks and former USC head coach Pete Carroll had an intense rivalry in college . Seattle leads the all - time series 20 -- 15 after winning both regular season games in 2014 and taking a week 7 win at Levi 's Stadium in 2015 . Arizona Cardinals ( edit ) The Arizona Cardinals are a recent growing rival of the 49ers . Unlike most rivalries of this team , the Arizona Cardinals are in the same division as the 49ers ( since 2002 , when the Cardinals transferred from the NFC East ) . Recently , there has been much bad blood between these two teams ' players ; an example of this is a Twitter `` battle '' between Darnell Dockett of the Arizona Cardinals and Vernon Davis of the San Francisco 49ers . Another clash was when Early Doucet of the Cardinals and Dashon Goldson of the Niners threw punches at each other . The clash of words between players of both teams , added with the decline of the other major rivalries of the 49ers , either from the rarity of meeting the rival teams ( 49ers rarely meet the Cowboys ) or the move to different cities ( Los Angeles Rams moving to St. Louis ) , has led to the rivalry between the 49ers and the Cardinals becoming heated and intense . The 49ers currently hold the edge over the Cardinals all - time by 28 -- 18 . Battle of the Bay rivalry ( edit ) Oakland Raiders ( edit ) The Oakland Raiders are the 49ers ' geographic rivals . As a result , games between the two are referred to as the `` Battle of the Bay . '' The first exhibition game played in 1967 , ended with the NFL 49ers defeating the AFL Raiders 13 -- 10 . After the 1970 merger , the 49ers won in Oakland 38 -- 7 . Since the two teams play in different conferences , regular season matchups are at least every four years . Fans and players of the winning team can claim `` bragging rights '' as the better team in the area . The Raiders currently lead the all - time regular season series with 7 wins to the 49ers ' 6 . Oakland won the latest matchup 24 -- 13 on December 7 in Week 14 of the 2014 regular season . On August 20 , 2011 , in the third week of the pre-season , the pre-season game between the rivals was marked by fights in restrooms and stands at Candlestick Park including a shooting outside the stadium in which several were injured . The NFL has decided to cancel all future pre-season games between the Raiders and 49ers . Historic rivals ( edit ) This section possibly contains original research .

( January 2013 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Main article : 49ers -- Cowboys rivalry The rivalry between the Dallas Cowboys and the 49ers has lasted since the 1970s . The NFL Top 10 ranked this rivalry to be the tenth best in NFL history . San Francisco has played Dallas in seven postseason games . The Cowboys defeated the 49ers in the 1970 and 1971 NFC championship games , and again in the 1972 Divisional Playoff Game . The 1981 NFC championship game in San Francisco , which saw the 49ers ' Joe Montana complete a game - winning pass to Dwight Clark in the final minute ( now known as The Catch ) , is one of the most famous games in NFL history . The rivalry became even more intense during the 1992 -- 1994 seasons . San Francisco and Dallas faced each other in the NFC championship game three separate times . Dallas won the first two match - ups , and San Francisco won the third . In each of these pivotal match - ups , the game 's victor went on to win the Super Bowl . Both the Cowboys and the 49ers are second all time in Super Bowl victories to the Pittsburgh Steelers with five each . The 49ers -- Cowboys rivalry is also part of the larger cultural rivalry between California and Texas . In recent years , this once - great rivalry has greatly softened , with the struggles of both the Cowboys and 49ers . However , in its prime especially in the 1990s , this rivalry was a very bitter one as both teams were the class of the NFL during this time . The all - time series is tied with a record of 17 -- 17 -- 1 , which includes a postseason record of 2 -- 5 . Main article : 49ers -- Giants rivalry The New York Giants have the most playoff meetings versus the 49ers ( eight ) . This rivalry is rooted in the 1980s when both teams were on the rise . In the first two playoff meetings between these two teams , the Joe Montana - led 49ers won both meetings , 38 -- 24 in 1981 and 24 -- 10 in 1984 both in the divisional round at Candlestick Park , the 49ers went on to win their first two Super Bowl championships both seasons . The Giants won the next three playoff meetings , which included a 49 -- 3 rout at Giants Stadium in 1986 , and the 1990 NFC championship , where they upset the 49ers 15 -- 13 , ruining the 49ers hopes of a Super Bowl three - peat after Roger Craig lost a fumble late in the fourth quarter and let the Giants score on a last - second field goal . Giants also went on to win their first two Super Bowl championships both seasons . The 49ers defeated the Giants 44 -- 3 in 1993 in the divisional round . In the 2002 NFC Wildcard game , the Giants were ahead 38 -- 14 late in the third quarter ; however , the 49ers came back from the 24 - point deficit to beat the Giants with a 39 -- 38 victory . The teams met again in the 2011 NFC championship at Candlestick Park , and just like the 1990 NFC championship , it was a low - scoring game ; the Giants won the game on a Lawrence Tynes 31 - yard field goal in overtime , 20 -- 17 . In an eerie similarity to Roger Craig 's fumble 21 years earlier , Kyle Williams fumbled a punt in the crucial minutes of the game , and just like the last two times the Giants beat the 49ers in the playoffs , they went on to win the Super Bowl . The all - time series is a tie record of 15 -- 15 , and includes a postseason record of 4 -- 4 . The Green Bay Packers rivalry emerged in the mid-1990s when the Packers upset the 49ers in the 1995 NFC Divisional game at Candlestick Park , ending any chance of a Super Bowl repeat . From that point , the Packers beat the 49ers four more times including two post-season games . San Francisco was finally able to exact revenge in the 1998 NFC Wild Card round , a game that is remembered for a 25 - yard game - winning touchdown reception by Terrell Owens off a Steve Young pass ( referred to by some as `` The Catch II '' ) , lifting the 49ers over the Packers 30 -- 27 . Since that game , the Packers had beaten the 49ers eight straight times including once in the 2001 post-season , a streak that came to an end in the 2012 season when the 49ers beat the Packers in Lambeau Field week 1 for the first time since 1990 , and again in the NFC Divisional game that same season . The 49ers trail the all - time series with a record of 30 -- 34 -- 1 , which includes a postseason record of 3 -- 4 . The New Orleans Saints were division rivals with the 49ers up until realignment in 2002 when the Saints were placed in the newly formed NFC South . The 49ers dominated the rivalry when the Saints played in the NFC West , but the Saints have held the upper hand since realignment , winning the first six - game since moving to the NFC South . They met most recently in the divisional round of the 2011 playoffs at Candlestick Park . There were four lead changes in the final four minutes of the game , culminating with Alex Smith throwing the game - winning touchdown to Vernon Davis with nine seconds left ( referred by many as Vernon Post or The Catch III ) . Three months after that game , it was revealed that then - Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams ordered his players to target certain players in certain areas in a profanity - laced speech as part of the bounty scandal prior to that game . The 49ers lead the all - time series with a record of 47 -- 24 -- 2 , which includes a postseason record of 1 -- 0 . The Atlanta Falcons were also division rivals with the 49ers until the Falcons moved to the NFC South in 2002 after the realignment . Just like the Saints , the 49ers had dominated the Falcons when they played in the NFC West , but the Falcons have won four straight against the 49ers since moving to the NFC South . Both teams met in the divisional round of the 1998 playoffs , when Garrison Hearst suffered an ankle break when his foot was caught in the Georgia Dome turf and twisted severely as he tried to spin away from Falcons ' defensive end Chuck Smith on the first play from scrimmage ; 49ers lost that game 20 -- 18 . They met in the 2012 NFC championship , in which the 49ers , led by quarterback Colin Kaepernick , defeated the top - seeded Falcons in Atlanta by a score of 28 -- 24 . The next year , the Falcons played against the 49ers in the last home game at Candlestick Park . The game ended in a dramatic interception return for a touchdown also known as `` The Pick at the ' Stick '' . The all - time series is led by the 49ers with a record of 46 -- 30 -- 1 , and includes a postseason record of 1 -- 1 .

KSAN airs all 49ers games on FM . On AM , they are simulcast on KTCT in August , September , and October and on KNBR from October to the end of the season . All three stations are owned by Cumulus Media . Joe Starkey , best known as the voice of the University of California and The Play , was previously the color commentator on the broadcasts next to legendary announcer Lon Simmons in 1987 and 1988 and took over as lead commentator in 1989 . Lon Simmons and Gordy Soltau did the broadcasts on KSFO in the 1949s and 1960s . For a brief period in the late 1970s and early 1980s Don Kline , the Voice of Stanford did the 49ers ' games . Starkey first teamed with former Detroit Lions ' and KPIX Sports Director , Wayne Walker and then former 49ers ' linebacker Gary Plummer formed the broadcast team from 1998 to 2008 , with Starkey retiring after the 2008 season . Ted Robinson replaced Starkey and teamed up with Plummer for the 2009 and 2010 seasons . Plummer was relieved of his color commentating duties for the 2011 season and replaced by former teammate Eric Davis . Pre-season games not shown on national television are shown on ABC affiliate , KGO - TV ( Channel 7 ) . When playing in the regular season , those games can be televised on Fox - owned KTVU . If they challenge an AFC team , KPIX - TV ( the CBS Owned and operated station ) will broadcast the games . In addition to regular season matches , NBC affiliate , KNTV airs them under the Sunday Night Football label . The 49ers are a beneficiary of league scheduling policies . Both the 49ers and the Oakland Raiders share the San Francisco Bay Area market , which is on the West Coast of the United States . This means that the 49ers can not play home games , road division games or interconference road games against AFC West teams Denver Broncos , Los Angeles Chargers or Oakland Raiders ( in seasons that the AFC West and NFC West meet in interconference play ) in the early 10 : 00 a.m. Pacific time slot . In addition , they can not play interconference home games at the same time or network as the Raiders . As a result , both teams generally have more limited scheduling options , and also benefit by receiving more prime time games than usual ( click here for further information ) . Thus , regardless of the previous season 's record , the 49ers receive a disproportionate number of Sunday Night , Monday Night and / or Thursday Night games , compared to the rest of the league .

( May 2013 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Havasupai Havsuwʼ Baaja A Havasupai woman in ceremonial attire Total population About 730 ( 2017 ) Regions with significant populations Supai , Arizona Languages Havasupai , English Religion Indigenous , Christianity Related ethnic groups Yavapai , Hualapai Havasupai Basket , circa 1907 The Havasupai people ( Havasupai : Havsuw ' Baaja ) are an American Indian tribe who have lived in the Grand Canyon for at least the past 800 years . Havasu means `` blue - green water '' and pai `` people '' . Located primarily in an area known as Havasu Canyon , this Yuman - speaking population once laid claim to an area the size of Delaware ( 1.6 million acres ( 650,000 ha ) ) . In 1882 , however , the tribe was forced by the federal government to abandon all but 518 acres ( 210 ha ) of its land . A silver rush and the Santa Fe Railroad in effect destroyed the fertile land . Furthermore , the inception of the Grand Canyon as a national park in 1919 pushed the Havasupai to the brink , as their land was consistently being used by the National Park Service . Throughout the 20th century , the tribe used the US judicial system to fight for the restoration of the land . In 1975 , the tribe succeeded in regaining approximately 185,000 acres ( 75,000 ha ) of their ancestral land with the passage of the Grand Canyon National Park Enlargement Act . As a means of survival , the tribe has turned to tourism , attracting thousands of people annually to its streams and waterfalls at the Havasupai Indian Reservation .

The Hualapai ( Pa'a or Pai ) had three subtribes : the Plateau People , Middle Mountain People and Yavapai Fighter . The subtribes were divided into seven bands , which themselves were broken up into thirteen regional bands or local groups . The local groups were composed of several extended family groups , living in small villages : The Havasupai were just the Havasooa Pa'a regional band ( or local group ) of the Nyav - kapai ( `` Eastern People '' ) of the Plateau People subtribe . Pre-1882 ( edit ) The tribe had traditionally relied heavily on agriculture , hunting and gathering as their means of survival . Although living primarily above and inside the Grand Canyon , which consists mostly of harsh terrain , the tribe 's reservation was also home to some lush vegetation and aquamarine blue water of Havasu Creek . Their name , meaning `` the People of the Blue - Green Waters '' reflects this . The Havasupai are said to have existed within and around the Grand Canyon for over eight centuries . Little is known about the tribe prior to their first recorded European encounter in 1776 with Spanish priest Francisco Garces . Garces reported seeing roughly 320 individuals in his time with the Havasupai , a number that would diminish over the centuries as westward expansion and natural catastrophes significantly decreased the population size . In the first half of the 19th century , with exception to the introduction of horses by the Spanish , U.S. westward expansion affected the Havasupai less than it did other indigenous populations of the west . Even as interaction with settlers slowly increased , day - to - day life did not change much for the tribe until silver was discovered in 1870 by Cataract Creek . The migration of prospectors to the area was unwelcome . The Havasupai sought protection from the intrusion of western pioneers on their land and sought out assistance , but to little avail . An executive order by President Rutherford Hayes in 1880 established a small federally protected reservation for the tribe , yet it did not include the mining areas along the Creek ( Hirst , 1985 ) . During this era , Havasupai relations with other Native American tribes were generally mixed . Bonds and interactions with the Hopi tribe , whose reservation was in close proximity , were strong , as the two peoples did a great deal of trading with each other . The Hopi introduced crops such as the gourd and sunflower that would eventually become a staple of the Havasupai diet . Still , the Havasupai were not without enemies as they were consistently at odds with the Yavapai and the Southern Paiute , who would steal and destroy crops planted by the Havasupai . 1882 -- 1920 ( edit ) Two Havasupai Indian women in front of a native dwelling , Havasu Canyon , ca. 1899 In 1882 President Chester A. Arthur issued an executive order that all land on the plateau of the canyon , which was traditionally used for winter homes for the tribe , was to become public property of the United States . The order in effect relegated the Havasupai to a 518 - acre ( 2.10 km ) plot of land in Cataract Canyon , taking almost all of their aboriginal land for American public use . According to reports , the Havasupai were completely unaware of the act for several years . Two Havasupai Indian women with `` Kathaks '' on their backs , ca. 1900 The loss of almost all of their land was not the only issue that the Havasupai were contending with : the increase in the number of settlers in the local region had depleted game used for hunting , and soil erosion ( a result of poor irrigation techniques ) touched off a series of food shortages . Furthermore , interaction with the settlers sparked deadly disease outbreaks amongst tribe members , who were ravaged by smallpox , influenza , and measles . By 1906 only 166 tribal members remained -- half the number Garces saw when he first came across the tribe in 1776 . In the 1800s the continental railway system was greatly expanded . In 1897 construction opened on a spur line of the Santa Fe Railroad , which was to lead directly to the Grand Canyon ; by 1901 the line was open . During his visit to the Grand Canyon in 1903 , President Theodore Roosevelt met two Havasupais at Indian Garden . Roosevelt told them about the park that was being created , and that they would have to leave the area . In 1908 the Grand Canyon was declared a national monument , and by 1919 it had received National Park status . However , it was not until 1928 that the Havasupai finally left Indian Garden , forced out by the National Park Service . 1921 -- 1975 ( edit ) Issues regarding health within the Havasupai population reduced its growth to the point where almost an entire generation was lost due to infant and child mortality . Low morale spread throughout the tribe , leading to an increase in gambling , alcoholism , and violence . As the years progressed the Havasupai came to realize that they could not hope to survive in their American social situation without embracing at least some aspects of it . Breaking horses , working on farms , or even serving as employees of the Grand Canyon National Park were all options for tribal members . The Havasupai fought to keep their methods and traditions alive , but the federal government and the National Park Service generally held a dismissive attitude toward these efforts and accelerated the pace of actions such as razing residents ' traditional homes and replacing them with cabins . As similar instances transpired throughout the years , the methods of the Park became clear : they wanted the final 518 acres ( 2.10 km ) . In this period the tribe continually fought with the government to have the land that had been taken returned to them . In 1968 the tribe won their Indian Claim Commission case against the United States . The court findings stated that the Havasupai had portions of their land taken from them illegally in 1882 and that the tribe was entitled to recover the land from the US at fair market value ( ICC 210 ) . That value ended up being 55 cents an acre , totaling just over one million dollars . Although the case was a landmark for the Havasupai in the sense that it was proven in a court of law that the federal government had inappropriately taken their land , it had still not been properly returned to the tribe . However , the momentum that the Havasupai gained from the ICC case followed them into the 1970s as the tribe continued to fight to have their traditional territory returned to them . In 1974 , garnering support from the Nixon administration as well as influential newspapers such as the Los Angeles Times , the Wall Street Journal , and the San Francisco Chronicle , the tribe made their push to have the congressional bill S. 1296 , which would actually return their land , passed through Congress . Months of deliberation and stalling on the part of some congressmen almost led to the demise of the bill , but days before Congress went on fall break the bill was finally passed by both Houses and made its way to the President 's desk . Similarly , the bill sat on President Gerald Ford 's desk until the final possible moments before it was signed and passed into law on January 4 , 1975 . S. 1296 granted the Havasupai a trust title to approximately 185,000 acres ( 750 km ) ; another 95,300 acres ( 386 km ) were designated as `` Havasupai Use Lands , '' to be overseen by the National Park Service , but available for traditional use by the Havasupai . Pipe ladder Mining interests also had a presence in the canyon in this period . Tunnels are a familiar sight in the campground area with the deepest of them around 300 feet ( 91 m ) . The largest of the mines is in Carbonate Canyon , adjacent to Havasu Falls , where rails and timbers still can be found descending three levels . Lead was mined here for the last time during WWII . Ranger Gale Burak , who worked at the Grand Canyon for several years , spoke of her experiences as a cook for the Havasu Lead and Zinc Company hard rock mining camp , where the campground now resides . Below Mooney Falls , the famous pipe `` ladder '' ascended to a vanadium deposit . 1976 -- present ( edit ) Mooney Falls Following the return of a large share of their land , the Havasupai as a tribe have once again begun to flourish . Although many of the day - to - day customs that existed prior to 1882 are not well established today , the Havasupai have continued to respect and preserve the traditions of their ancestors . As of today the tribe consists of about 730 . Presently , the tribe has begun to take advantage of the beauty of its land by turning it into a tourist destination for visitors to the Grand Canyon . Tribal members often work as packers and / or workers for tourist ventures , or work at the lodge , tourist offices , the café , etc . 2003 -- 2010 blood sample controversy ( edit ) In 2003 , protests ensued when it was found that Arizona State University had used blood samples consensually acquired from the Havasupai people for different purposes than originally stated : This included research with regard to the tribe 's ancestors ' geographical origins - which contradicts traditional Havasupai beliefs - and levels of inbreeding , which was deemed to be `` offensive '' . ASU incurred legal fees of 1,700,000 US $ and eventually agreed to pay the Havasupai 700,000 US $ . It has since been claimed that scientific study of Native Northern American genomes has been hampered due to scientists ' fears of getting caught up in a similar legal predicament . In the cause of the controversy , a dissertation was partially redacted before publication , as one chapter had directly cited results gained from the Havasupai samples . Traditional culture ( edit ) Agriculture ( edit ) Prior to modern times agriculture was the essential means of progress and survival for the Havasupai . While in the winter the tribe members stationed themselves on the plateau of the canyon , in the summer irrigation gardening of the crop fields brought the members back inside the canyon walls . As vast and uneven as the Grand Canyon is , it is somewhat of an anomaly that the Havasupai were able to agriculturally sustain and thrive in such a voluminous landscape . Because of a lack of available soil rich in nutrients , it has been suggested that the tribe cultivated only 200 acres ( 0.81 km ) of land on the canyon floor . Although lacking space , the tribe 's irrigation technology was far more advanced than others in the Southwest which allowed them to be agriculturally intensive . However , being located at the bottom of a canyon left the fields vulnerable to flooding as a result of rain and the overflowing of Cataract Creek , as was the case in 1911 when almost an entire crop field was destroyed . In 1920 to combat the issue the federal government assisted the tribe in constructing a new irrigation system which was generally effective in ceasing soil erosion from water overflows . Historically the main crops for the Havasupai were corn , beans , squash , sunflowers , gourds , and some cotton . Corn , the tribe 's main crop , was generally harvested in the later summer months . While growing , a farming technique called cepukaka was used to protect the corn from being blown over when it got to a certain height . In this technique , a farmer loosened the soil around the corn and then pulled it into a hill around the stalk base . Along with their traditional crops , the Havasupai were introduced to melons , watermelons , and orchard trees with the arrival of the Spanish . By the 1940s these crops had become staples of the Havasupai diet . Hunting ( edit ) The bow and arrow were of primary importance to a Havasupai hunter . Built from an unidentifiable tree , an entire process of crafting , bending , and designing went into the construction of these hunting tools . With westward expansion , however , came the introduction of the rifle ; as years went by , the gun became the primary hunting device for men . The word for `` arrow '' began to stand in for `` bullet '' as well ( Whiting , 1985 ) . Throughout the years , sheep and deer were the dominant game for the Havasupai , but small game including rabbits and squirrels were also used as food . Historically , the Havasupai hunted in large groups , and the distribution of game amongst the hunters was generally fair . In the twentieth century , however , due to overhunting and neighboring development , the populations of large game animals such as sheep became sparse . As a result , the Havasupai were forced to alter their hunting habits to adjust to the expansionists , which in turn made tribesmen less likely to share with others . Gathering ( edit ) The gathering of wild plants and seeds were typically done by Havasupai women . Two primary methods were used : 1 ) Knocking seeds from plants directly , and 2 ) The heads of plants were gathered before the seeds were ready to fall . It was desirable for the women to locate lighter foods which could easily be moved to the plateau in winter . Additionally , dry foods that could be stored for extended periods of time to prevent spoilage were preferable . Walnuts , wild candytuft , and barrel cacti were only a few of the many plants and seeds gathered by the women throughout the spring and summer months . Modern culture ( edit ) Havasu Falls Government ( edit ) A seven - member tribal council , which handles most policy matters , is elected once every two years . It is led by a chairman who is elected from among the members of the council . The Bureau of Indian Affairs ( BIA ) is the entity charged with law enforcement and protection for the Tribe , while the Indian Health Service clinic provides health care and emergency services . Language ( edit ) A young Havasupai girl , circa 1900 Main article : Havasupai language Havasupai is a dialect of the Upland Yuman language spoken by about 450 people on the Havasupai Indian Reservation in and around the Grand Canyon . It is the only Native American language in the United States spoken by 100 % of its indigenous population . The Havasupai variety is nearly identical to the variety of the Hualapai , although the two groups are socially and politically distinct ( Kendall 1983 : 5 ) and employ different orthographies . The speakers of Havasupai and Hualapai consider their languages separate . It is a little more distantly related to the Yavapai language . Grammatical descriptions , vocabularies , and texts documenting Havasupai have been published ( Mithun 1999 : 578 ) . Supai ( edit ) The `` Watchers '' overlook Supai Main article : Supai Supai ( Havasupai : Havasuuw ) is the Havasupai city at 36 ° 14 ′ 13 '' N 112 ° 41 ′ 21 '' W / 36.23694 ° N 112.68917 ° W / 36.23694 ; - 112.68917 at the bottom of the Grand Canyon . The town is the capital of the Havasupai Indian Reservation , at 36 ° 09 ′ 40 '' N 112 ° 36 ′ 48 '' W / 36.16111 ° N 112.61333 ° W / 36.16111 ; - 112.61333 in Coconino County . It is home to around 500 of the tribe members and is one of the most remote cities in the contiguous United States , as it can only be accessed by taking old U.S. Route 66 and traveling about 60 miles ( 97 km ) along BIA Road 18 to the trailhead . The city can be reached from the trailhead via an 8 - mile ( 13 km ) hike . An alternative to the hike is a helicopter ride or a horse ride . The town has 136 houses , a café , a general store , a tourist office , a lodge , a post office , a school , an LDS chapel , and a small Christian Church , among other buildings . Tourism ( edit ) Tourism is the main source of revenue for the Havasupai tribe . The town receives more than 20,000 visitors per year . The Tribe charges for entering its land , and visitors are required to reserve either a room at their lodge , or space at the campground . Havasupai trail ( edit ) Havasupai Trail Main article : Havasupai Trail The trailhead is at Hualapai Hilltop , Arizona ( located at the end of BIA Road 18 ) , where there is a large parking lot , a helipad and portable toilets . The trail can be traveled by foot or horseback . Alternatively , transportation by helicopter is periodically available . Mule service can also be purchased for luggage / packs only . The trail to Supai is approximately 8 miles ( 13 km ) long , and descends approximately 2,000 feet ( 610 m ) . The campground is an additional 2 miles ( 3.2 km ) , with another drop of about 350 feet ( 110 m ) . Havasu Creek ( edit ) Main article : Havasu Creek Havasu Creek runs through Supai . The creek has several waterfalls , including Havasu Falls . Gallery ( edit ) Two Havasupai Indian children , the daughters of Chickapanagie 's , enjoying a melon , ca . 1900 . Both are wearing checkered dresses and are barefooted . They sit on a blanket with a zig - zag pattern with their hands in a half melon between them . Their hair is cut very short . Two Havasupai Indian women basket makers , ca . 1900 . The women and a child sit on the ground in front of a house made of branches . They wear long dresses with shawls over their shoulders . They sit among firewood . A child peers out of the entry of the dwelling . A `` kathak '' , a large conical basket , lies on the ground at right .

The Address Resolution Protocol ( ARP ) is a communication protocol used for discovering the link layer address , such as a MAC address , associated with a given network layer address , typically an IPv4 address . This mapping is a critical function in the Internet protocol suite . ARP was defined in 1982 by RFC 826 , which is Internet Standard STD 37 . ARP has been implemented with many combinations of network and data link layer technologies , such as IPv4 , Chaosnet , DECnet and Xerox PARC Universal Packet ( PUP ) using IEEE 802 standards , FDDI , X. 25 , Frame Relay and Asynchronous Transfer Mode ( ATM ) . IPv4 over IEEE 802.3 and IEEE 802.11 is the most common usage . In Internet Protocol Version 6 ( IPv6 ) networks , the functionality of ARP is provided by the Neighbor Discovery Protocol ( NDP ) . Contents ( hide ) 1 Operating scope 2 Packet structure 3 Example 4 ARP probe 5 ARP announcements 6 ARP mediation 7 Inverse ARP and Reverse ARP 8 ARP spoofing and Proxy ARP 9 Alternatives to ARP 10 ARP stuffing 11 Standards documents 12 See also 13 References 14 External links Operating scope ( edit ) The Address Resolution Protocol is a request - response protocol whose messages are encapsulated by a link layer protocol . It is communicated within the boundaries of a single network , never routed across internetworking nodes . This property places ARP into the link layer of the Internet protocol suite . Packet structure ( edit ) The Address Resolution Protocol uses a simple message format containing one address resolution request or response . The size of the ARP message depends on the upper layer and lower layer address sizes , which are given by the type of networking protocol ( usually IPv4 ) in use and the type of hardware or virtual link layer that the upper layer protocol is running on . The message header specifies these types , as well as the size of addresses of each . The message header is completed with the operation code for request ( 1 ) and reply ( 2 ) . The payload of the packet consists of four addresses , the hardware and protocol address of the sender and receiver hosts . The principal packet structure of ARP packets is shown in the following table which illustrates the case of IPv4 networks running on Ethernet . In this scenario , the packet has 48 - bit fields for the sender hardware address ( SHA ) and target hardware address ( THA ) , and 32 - bit fields for the corresponding sender and target protocol addresses ( SPA and TPA ) . Thus , the ARP packet size in this case is 28 bytes . The EtherType for ARP is 0x0806 . ( This appears in the Ethernet frame header when the payload is an ARP packet . Not to be confused with PTYPE below , which appears within this encapsulated ARP packet . ) Internet Protocol ( IPv4 ) over Ethernet ARP packet octet offset 0 0 Hardware type ( HTYPE ) Protocol type ( PTYPE ) Hardware address length ( HLEN ) Protocol address length ( PLEN ) 6 Operation ( OPER ) 8 Sender hardware address ( SHA ) ( first 2 bytes ) 10 ( next 2 bytes ) 12 ( last 2 bytes ) 14 Sender protocol address ( SPA ) ( first 2 bytes ) 16 ( last 2 bytes ) 18 Target hardware address ( THA ) ( first 2 bytes ) 20 ( next 2 bytes ) 22 ( last 2 bytes ) 24 Target protocol address ( TPA ) ( first 2 bytes ) 26 ( last 2 bytes ) Hardware type ( HTYPE ) This field specifies the network protocol type . Example : Ethernet is 1 . Protocol type ( PTYPE ) This field specifies the internetwork protocol for which the ARP request is intended . For IPv4 , this has the value 0x0800 . The permitted PTYPE values share a numbering space with those for EtherType . Hardware length ( HLEN ) Length ( in octets ) of a hardware address . Ethernet addresses size is 6 . Protocol length ( PLEN ) Length ( in octets ) of addresses used in the upper layer protocol . ( The upper layer protocol specified in PTYPE . ) IPv4 address size is 4 . Operation Specifies the operation that the sender is performing : 1 for request , 2 for reply . Sender hardware address ( SHA ) Media address of the sender . In an ARP request this field is used to indicate the address of the host sending the request . In an ARP reply this field is used to indicate the address of the host that the request was looking for . ( Not necessarily address of the host replying as in the case of virtual media . ) Switches do not pay attention to this field , particularly in learning MAC addresses . The ARP PDU is encapsulated in Ethernet frame , and that is what Layer 2 devices examine . Sender protocol address ( SPA ) Internetwork address of the sender . Target hardware address ( THA ) Media address of the intended receiver . In an ARP request this field is ignored . In an ARP reply this field is used to indicate the address of the host that originated the ARP request . Target protocol address ( TPA ) Internetwork address of the intended receiver . ARP protocol parameter values have been standardized and are maintained by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority ( IANA ) . Example ( edit ) Two computers in an office ( computer 1 and computer 2 ) are connected to each other in a local area network by Ethernet cables and network switches , with no intervening gateways or routers . Computer 1 has a packet to send to Computer 2 . Through DNS , it determines that Computer 2 has the IP address 192.168. 0.55 . To send the message , it also requires Computer 2 's MAC address . First , Computer 1 uses a cached ARP table to look up 192.168. 0.55 for any existing records of Computer 2 's MAC address ( 00 : eb : 24 : b2 : 05 : ac ) . If the MAC address is found , it sends an Ethernet frame with destination address 00 : eb : 24 : b2 : 05 : ac , containing the IP packet onto the link . If the cache did not produce a result for 192.168. 0.55 , Computer 1 has to send a broadcast ARP message ( destination FF : FF : FF : FF : FF : FF MAC address ) , which is accepted by all computers , requesting an answer for 192.168. 0.55 . Computer 2 responds with its MAC and IP addresses . Computer 2 may insert an entry for Computer 1 into its ARP table for future use . Computer 1 caches the response information in its ARP table and can now send the packet . ARP probe ( edit ) An ARP probe is an ARP request constructed with an all - zero sender IP address ( SPA ) . The term is used in the IPv4 Address Conflict Detection specification ( RFC 5227 ) . Before beginning to use an IPv4 address ( whether received from manual configuration , DHCP , or some other means ) , a host implementing this specification must test to see if the address is already in use , by broadcasting ARP probe packets . ARP announcements ( edit ) ARP may also be used as a simple announcement protocol . This is useful for updating other hosts ' mappings of a hardware address when the sender 's IP address or MAC address has changed . Such an announcement , also called a gratuitous ARP message , is usually broadcast as an ARP request containing the sender 's protocol address ( SPA ) in the target field ( TPA = SPA ) , with the target hardware address ( THA ) set to zero . An alternative way is to broadcast an ARP reply with the sender 's hardware and protocol addresses ( SHA and SPA ) duplicated in the target fields ( TPA = SPA , THA = SHA ) . The gratuitous ARP request message and the gratuitous ARP reply messages are standards - based methods , but the `` ARP Request '' is preferred . Some devices may be configured for the use of either of these two types of GARP . An ARP announcement is not intended to solicit a reply ; instead it updates any cached entries in the ARP tables of other hosts that receive the packet . The operation code may indicate a request or a reply because the ARP standard specifies that the opcode is only processed after the ARP table has been updated from the address fields . Many operating systems perform gratuitous ARP during startup . That helps to resolve problems which would otherwise occur if , for example , a network card was recently changed ( changing the IP - address - to - MAC - address mapping ) and other hosts still have the old mapping in their ARP caches . Gratuitous ARP is also used by some interface drivers to provide load balancing for incoming traffic . In a team of network cards , it is used to announce a different MAC address within the team that should receive incoming packets . ARP announcements can be used to defend link - local IP addresses in the Zeroconf protocol ( RFC 3927 ) , and for IP address takeover within high - availability clusters . ARP mediation ( edit ) ARP mediation refers to the process of resolving Layer 2 addresses through a Virtual Private Wire Service ( VPWS ) when different resolution protocols are used on the connected circuits , e.g. , Ethernet on one end and Frame Relay on the other . In IPv4 , each Provider Edge ( PE ) device discovers the IP address of the locally attached Customer Edge ( CE ) device and distributes that IP address to the corresponding remote PE device . Then each PE device responds to local ARP requests using the IP address of the remote CE device and the hardware address of the local PE device . In IPv6 , each PE device discovers the IP address of both local and remote CE devices and then intercepts local Neighbor Discovery ( ND ) and Inverse Neighbor Discovery ( IND ) packets and forwards them to the remote PE device . Inverse ARP and Reverse ARP ( edit ) Inverse Address Resolution Protocol ( Inverse ARP or InARP ) is used to obtain Network Layer addresses ( for example , IP addresses ) of other nodes from Data Link Layer ( Layer 2 ) addresses . It is primarily used in Frame Relay ( DLCI ) and ATM networks , in which Layer 2 addresses of virtual circuits are sometimes obtained from Layer 2 signaling , and the corresponding Layer 3 addresses must be available before those virtual circuits can be used . Since ARP translates Layer 3 addresses to Layer 2 addresses , InARP may be described as its inverse . In addition , InARP is implemented as a protocol extension to ARP : it uses the same packet format as ARP , but different operation codes . The Reverse Address Resolution Protocol ( Reverse ARP or RARP ) , like InARP , translates Layer 2 addresses to Layer 3 addresses . However , in ARP the requesting station queries the Layer 3 address of another node , whereas RARP is used to obtain the Layer 3 address of the requesting station itself for address configuration purposes . RARP is obsolete ; it was replaced by BOOTP , which was later superseded by the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol ( DHCP ) . ARP spoofing and proxy ARP ( edit ) A successful ARP spoofing attack allows an attacker to perform a man - in - the - middle attack . Main article : ARP spoofing Main article : Proxy ARP Because ARP does not provide methods for authenticating ARP replies on a network , ARP replies can come from systems other than the one with the required Layer 2 address . An ARP proxy is a system which answers the ARP request on behalf of another system for which it will forward traffic , normally as a part of the network 's design , such as for a dialup internet service . By contrast , in ARP spoofing the answering system , or spoofer , replies to a request for another system 's address with the aim of intercepting data bound for that system . A malicious user may use ARP spoofing to perform a man - in - the - middle or denial - of - service attack on other users on the network . Various software exists to both detect and perform ARP spoofing attacks , though ARP itself does not provide any methods of protection from such attacks . Alternatives to ARP ( edit ) Each computer maintains a database of the mapping of Layer 3 addresses ( e.g. , IP addresses ) to Layer 2 addresses ( e.g. , Ethernet MAC addresses ) , which is maintained primarily by the reception of ARP packets form the local network link . Thus , it is often called the ARP cache . Traditionally , other methods were also used to maintain this table , such as static configuration files , or centrally maintained lists . Since at least the 1980s , networked computers have a utility called ' arp ' for interrogating or manipulating this table . ARP stuffing ( edit ) Embedded systems such as networked cameras and networked power distribution devices , which lack a user interface , can use so - called ARP stuffing to make an initial network connection , although this is a misnomer , as ARP is not involved . This is a solution to an issue in network management of consumer devices , specifically the allocation of IP addresses of ethernet devices where : the user does n't have the ability to control DHCP or similar address allocation protocols the device does n't have a user interface to configure it with the user 's computer ca n't communicate with it because it has no suitable IP address . The solution adopted is as follows : The user 's computer has an IP address stuffed manually into its address table ( normally with the arp command with the MAC address taken from a label on the device ) The computer sends special packets to the device , typically a ping packet with a non-default size . The device then adopts this IP address The user then communicates with it by telnet or web protocols to complete the configuration . Such devices typically have a method to disable this process once the device is operating normally , as it is vulnerable to attack .

"The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a communication protocol used for discovering the link layer address, such as a MAC address, associated with a given network layer address, typically an IPv4 address. This mapping is a critical function in the Internet protocol suite. ARP was defined in 1982 by RFC 826,[1] which is Internet Standard STD 37."

-256712978045179968 | Ukase | Ukase - wikipedia Ukase Example of a modern ukaz : an ambassadorial appointment . An ukase , or ukaz ( / juːˈkeɪs / ; Russian : указ ( ʊˈkas ) , formally `` imposition '' ) , in Imperial Russia , was a proclamation of the tsar , government , or a religious leader ( patriarch ) that had the force of law . `` Edict '' and `` decree '' are adequate translations using the terminology and concepts of Roman law . From the Russian term , the word ukase has entered the English language with the meaning of `` any proclamation or decree ; an order or regulation of a final or arbitrary nature '' . Contents 1 History 2 Executive Order of the President of Russia 3 See also 4 Notes 5 References 6 External links History ( edit ) Prior to the 1917 October Revolution , the term applied in Russia to an edict or ordinance , legislative or administrative , having the force of law . A ukase proceeded either from the emperor or from the senate , which had the power of issuing such ordinances for the purpose of carrying out existing decrees . All such decrees were promulgated by the senate . A difference was drawn between the ukase signed by the emperor 's hand and his verbal ukase , or order , made upon a report submitted to him . After the Revolution , a government proclamation of wide meaning was called a `` decree '' ( Russian : декрет , dekret ) ; more specific proclamations were called ukaz . Both terms are usually translated as `` decree '' . Executive order of the president of Russia ( edit ) Main article : Decree of the President of Russia According to the Russian Federation 's 1993 constitution , an ukaz is a Presidential decree . The English term `` Executive Order '' is also used by the official website as an equivalent of the Russian ukaz . As normative legal acts , such ukazes have a status of by - law in the hierarchy of legal acts ( along with a Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation , instructions and directions of other officials ) . Presidential decrees may not alter the regulations of existing legal sources - Russia 's international agreements , the Constitution of Russia , Federal Constitutional Laws , Federal Laws and laws of Russian regions - and may be superseded by any of these laws . For example , thanks to Article 15 of the Constitution of Russia , the European Convention on Human Rights , as an international document , has higher status than any Russian law or presidential executive order .

The NHL is considered to be the premier professional ice hockey league in the world , and one of the major professional sports leagues in the United States and Canada . The Stanley Cup , the oldest professional sports trophy in North America , is awarded annually to the league playoff champion at the end of each season . The National Hockey League was organized on November 26 , 1917 , at the Windsor Hotel in Montreal after the suspension of operations of its predecessor organization , the National Hockey Association ( NHA ) , which had been founded in 1909 in Renfrew , Ontario . The NHL immediately took the NHA 's place as one of the leagues that contested for the Stanley Cup in an annual interleague competition before a series of league mergers and folds left the NHL as the only league left competing for the Stanley Cup in 1926 . At its inception , the NHL had four teams -- all in Canada , thus the adjective `` National '' in the league 's name . The league expanded to the United States in 1924 , when the Boston Bruins joined , and has since consisted of American and Canadian teams . From 1942 to 1967 , the league had only six teams , collectively ( if not contemporaneously ) nicknamed the `` Original Six '' . The NHL added six new teams to double its size at the 1967 NHL expansion . The league then increased to 18 teams in 1974 and 21 teams in 1979 . In the 1990s , the NHL further expanded to 30 teams , and added its 31st team in 2017 . The league 's headquarters have been in New York City since 1989 when the head office moved there from Montreal . After a labour - management dispute that led to the cancellation of the entire 2004 -- 05 season , the league resumed play in 2005 -- 06 under a new collective agreement that included a salary cap . In 2009 , the NHL enjoyed record highs in terms of sponsorships , attendance , and television audiences . The International Ice Hockey Federation ( IIHF ) considers the Stanley Cup to be one of the `` most important championships available to the sport '' . The NHL draws many highly skilled players from all over the world and currently has players from approximately 20 countries . Canadians have historically constituted the majority of the players in the league , with an increasing percentage of American and European players in recent seasons .

Founded in 1909 , the NHA began play one year later with seven teams in Ontario and Quebec , and was one of the first major leagues in professional ice hockey . But by the NHA 's eighth season , a series of disputes with Toronto Blueshirts owner Eddie Livingstone led team owners of the Montreal Canadiens , Montreal Wanderers , Ottawa Senators , and Quebec Bulldogs to hold a meeting to discuss the league 's future . Realizing the NHA constitution left them unable to force Livingstone out , the four teams voted instead to suspend the NHA , and on November 26 , 1917 , formed the National Hockey League . Frank Calder was chosen as its first president , serving until his death in 1943 . The Bulldogs were unable to play , and the remaining owners created a new team in Toronto , the Arenas , to compete with the Canadiens , Wanderers and Senators . The first games were played on December 19 , 1917 . The Montreal Arena burned down in January 1918 , causing the Wanderers to cease operations , and the NHL continued on as a three - team league until the Bulldogs returned in 1919 . The NHL replaced the NHA as one of the leagues that competed for the Stanley Cup , which was an interleague competition back then . Toronto won the first NHL title , and then defeated the Vancouver Millionaires of the Pacific Coast Hockey Association ( PCHA ) for the 1918 Stanley Cup . The Canadiens won the league title in 1919 ; however their Stanley Cup Final against the PCHA 's Seattle Metropolitans was abandoned as a result of the Spanish Flu epidemic . Montreal in 1924 won their first Stanley Cup as a member of the NHL . The Hamilton Tigers , won the regular season title in 1924 -- 25 but refused to play in the championship series unless they were given a C $ 200 bonus . The league refused and declared the Canadiens the league champion after they defeated the Toronto St. Patricks ( formerly the Arenas ) in the semi-final . Montreal was then defeated by the Victoria Cougars of the Western Canada Hockey League ( WCHL ) for the 1925 Stanley Cup . It was the last time a non-NHL team won the trophy , as the Stanley Cup became the de facto NHL championship in 1926 after the WCHL ceased operation . The National Hockey League embarked on rapid expansion in the 1920s , adding the Montreal Maroons and Boston Bruins in 1924 . The Bruins were the first American team in the league . The New York Americans began play in 1925 after purchasing the assets of the Hamilton Tigers , and were joined by the Pittsburgh Pirates . The New York Rangers were added in 1926 . The Chicago Black Hawks and Detroit Cougars ( later Red Wings ) were also added after the league purchased the assets of the defunct WCHL . A group purchased the Toronto St. Patricks in 1927 and immediately renamed them the Maple Leafs . The original six ( edit ) The first NHL All - Star Game was held in 1934 to benefit Ace Bailey , whose career ended on a vicious hit by Eddie Shore . The second was held in 1937 in support of Howie Morenz 's family when he died of a coronary embolism after breaking his leg during a game . The Great Depression and the onset of World War II took a toll on the league . The Pirates became the Philadelphia Quakers in 1930 , then folded one year later . The Senators likewise became the St. Louis Eagles in 1934 , also lasting only one year . The Maroons did not survive , as they suspended operations in 1938 . The Americans were suspended in 1942 due to a lack of players , and never revived . The league was reduced to six teams for the 1942 -- 43 NHL season : the Boston Bruins , Chicago Black Hawks , Detroit Red Wings , Montreal Canadiens , New York Rangers and Toronto Maple Leafs . These six teams remained constant for 25 years , a period known as the Original Six . The league reached an agreement with the Stanley Cup trustees in 1947 to take full control of the trophy , allowing the NHL to reject challenges from other leagues that wished to play for the Cup . Montreal Canadiens in 1942 Maurice `` Rocket '' Richard became the first player to score 50 goals , doing so in a 50 - game season . Richard later led the Canadiens to five consecutive titles between 1956 and 1960 , a record no team has matched . Willie O'Ree broke the league 's colour barrier on January 18 , 1958 when he made his debut with the Boston Bruins and became the first black player in league history . Post-original six expansion ( edit ) By the mid-1960s , the desire for a network television contract in the U.S. , and concerns that the Western Hockey League was planning to declare itself a major league and challenge for the Stanley Cup , spurred the league to undertake its first expansion since the 1920s . The league doubled in size for the 1967 -- 68 season , adding the Los Angeles Kings , Minnesota North Stars , Philadelphia Flyers , Pittsburgh Penguins , California Seals and St. Louis Blues . Canadian fans were outraged that all six teams were placed in the United States , and the league responded by adding the Vancouver Canucks in 1970 along with the Buffalo Sabres , who are located on the Canada -- US border . Two years later , the emergence of the newly founded World Hockey Association ( WHA ) led the league to add the New York Islanders and Atlanta Flames to keep the rival league out of those markets . In 1974 , the Washington Capitals and Kansas City Scouts were added , bringing the league up to 18 teams . The National Hockey League fought the WHA for players , losing 67 to the new league in its first season of 1972 -- 73 , including Bobby Hull , who signed a ten - year , $2.5 million contract with the Winnipeg Jets , the largest in hockey history at the time . The league attempted to block the defections in court , but a counter-suit by the WHA led to a Philadelphia judge ruling the NHL 's reserve clause to be illegal , thus eliminating the elder league 's monopoly over the players . Seven years of battling for players and markets financially damaged both leagues , leading to a 1979 merger agreement that saw the WHA cease operations while the NHL absorbed the Winnipeg Jets , Edmonton Oilers , Hartford Whalers and Quebec Nordiques . The owners initially rejected this merger agreement by one vote , but a massive boycott of Molson Brewery products by fans in Canada caused the Montreal Canadiens , which was owned by Molson , to reverse its position , along with the Vancouver Canucks . In a second vote the plan was approved . Wayne Gretzky played one season in the WHA for the Indianapolis Racers ( eight games ) and the Edmonton Oilers ( 72 games ) before the Oilers joined the National Hockey League for the 1979 -- 80 season . Gretzky went on to lead the Oilers to four Stanley Cup championships in 1984 , 1985 , 1987 and 1988 , and set single season records for goals ( 92 in 1981 -- 82 ) , assists ( 163 in 1985 -- 86 ) and points ( 215 in 1985 -- 86 ) , as well as career records for goals ( 894 ) , assists ( 1,963 ) and points ( 2,857 ) . He was traded to the Kings in 1988 , a deal that dramatically improved the league 's popularity in the United States , and provided the impetus for the 1990s expansion cycles that saw the addition of nine teams : the San Jose Sharks , Tampa Bay Lightning , Ottawa Senators , Mighty Ducks of Anaheim , Florida Panthers , Nashville Predators , Atlanta Thrashers ( now Winnipeg Jets ) , and in 2000 the Minnesota Wild and Columbus Blue Jackets . On July 21 , 2015 , the NHL confirmed that it had received applications from prospective ownership groups in Quebec City and Las Vegas for possible expansion teams , and on June 22 , 2016 , NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman announced the addition of a 31st franchise , based in Las Vegas and later named the Vegas Golden Knights , into the NHL for the 2017 -- 18 season . Labour issues ( edit ) There have been four league - wide work stoppages in league history , all happening since 1992 . The first was a strike by the National Hockey League Players ' Association in April 1992 which lasted for ten days , but the strike was settled quickly and all affected games were rescheduled . A lockout at the start of the 1994 -- 95 season forced the league to reduce the schedule from 84 games to just 48 , with the teams playing only intra-conference games during the reduced season . The resulting collective bargaining agreement ( CBA ) was set for renegotiation in 1998 and extended to September 15 , 2004 . With no new agreement in hand when the contract expired on September 15 , 2004 , league commissioner Gary Bettman announced a lockout of the players union and closed the league 's head office . The league vowed to install what it dubbed `` cost certainty '' for its teams , but the Players ' Association countered that the move was little more than a euphemism for a salary cap , which the union initially said it would not accept . The lockout shut down the league for 310 days , the longest in sports history , as the NHL became the first professional sports league to lose an entire season . A new collective bargaining agreement was eventually ratified in July 2005 , including a salary cap . The agreement had a term of six years with an option of extending the collective bargaining agreement for an additional year at the end of the term , allowing the league to resume as of the 2005 -- 06 season . On October 5 , 2005 , the first post-lockout season took to the ice with all 30 teams . The NHL received record attendance in the 2005 -- 06 season : an average of 16,955 per game . After losing a season to a labour dispute in 2005 , the League 's TV audience was slower to rebound because of American cable broadcaster ESPN 's decision to drop the sport . The league 's post-lockout agreement with NBC gave the league a share of revenue from each game 's advertising sales , rather than the usual lump sum paid up front for game rights . The league 's annual revenues were estimated at approximately $2.27 billion . At midnight September 16 , 2012 , the labour pact expired , and the league again locked out the players . The owners proposed reducing the players ' share of hockey - related revenues from 57 percent to 47 percent . All games were cancelled up to January 14 , 2013 , as well as the 2013 NHL Winter Classic and the 2013 NHL All - Star Weekend . A tentative agreement was reached on January 6 , 2013 , on a ten - year deal . On January 12 , the league and the Players ' Association signed a memorandum of understanding on the new deal , allowing teams to begin their training camps on January 13 , with a shortened 48 - game season schedule that began on January 19 . Player safety issues ( edit ) Player safety has become a major issue within the past five years and concussions , which result from a hard hit to the head , have been the biggest cause . With recent studies showing how concussions can affect retired players and how it has decreased their quality of life after retirement , concussions have become a very important topic of debate when it comes to player safety issues . This had significant effects on the league as elite players were being taken out of the game , such as Sidney Crosby being sidelined for approximately 10 and a half months , which adversely affected the league 's marketability . As a result , in December 2009 , Brendan Shanahan was hired to replace Colin Campbell and given the role of senior vice-president of player safety . Shanahan began to hand out suspensions on high - profile perpetrators responsible for dangerous hits , such as Raffi Torres receiving 25 games for his hit on Marian Hossa . To aid with removing high speed collisions on icing , which had led to several potential career - ending injuries such as Hurricanes ' defenceman Joni Pitkanen , the league mandated hybrid no - touch icing for the 2013 -- 14 NHL season . On November 25 , 2013 , ten former players ( Gary Leeman , Rick Vaive , Brad Aitken , Darren Banks , Curt Bennett , Richie Dunn , Warren Holmes , Bob Manno , Blair Stewart and Morris Titanic ) sued the league for negligence on protecting players from concussions . The suit came three months after the National Football League agreed to pay former players US $765 million due to a player safety lawsuit . Women in the NHL ( edit ) From 1952 to 1955 , Marguerite Norris served as president of the Detroit Red Wings , the first woman NHL executive and the first woman to have her name engraved on the Stanley Cup . In 1992 , Manon Rheaume became the first woman to play a game in any of the major professional North American sports leagues , as a goaltender for the Tampa Bay Lightning in an NHL pre-season game against the St. Louis Blues , stopping seven of nine shots . In 2016 , Dawn Braid was hired as the Arizona Coyotes ' skating coach , making her the first female full - time coach in the NHL . Organizational structure ( edit ) The Board of Governors is the ruling and governing body of the National Hockey League . In this context , each team is a member of the league , and each member appoints a Governor ( usually the owner of the club ) , and two alternates to the Board . The current chairman of the Board is Boston Bruins owner , Jeremy Jacobs . The Board of Governors exists to establish the policies of the league , and to uphold its constitution . Some of the responsibilities of the Board of Governors include : review and approve any rule changes to the game . hiring and firing of the commissioner . review and approve the purchase , sale , or relocation of any member club . review and approve the salary caps for member clubs . review and approve any changes to the structure of the game schedule . The Board of Governors meets twice per year , in the months of June and December , with the exact date and place to be fixed by the Commissioner . Executives ( edit ) The chief executive of the league is Commissioner Gary Bettman . Some of the principal decision makers who serve under the authority of the commissioner include : Deputy Commissioner & Chief Legal Officer : Bill Daly Executive VP & CFO : Craig Harnett Chief Operating Officer : John Collins Executive VP & Director of Hockey Operations : Colin Campbell NHL Enterprises : Ed Horne Senior Vice-President of Player Safety : Stephane Quintal Teams ( edit ) Devils Islanders Rangers Flyers Penguins Bruins Sabres Canadiens Senators Maple Leafs Jets Hurricanes Panthers Lightning Capitals Blackhawks Blue Jackets Red Wings Predators Blues Flames Avalanche Oilers Wild Canucks Ducks Stars Kings Coyotes Sharks Golden Knights See also : National Hockey League all - time results , List of defunct and relocated National Hockey League teams , and Potential National Hockey League expansion The NHL consists of 31 teams , 24 of which are based in the United States and seven in Canada . The NHL divides the 31 teams into two conferences : the Eastern Conference and the Western Conference . Each conference is split into two divisions : the Eastern Conference contains 16 teams ( eight per division ) , while the Western Conference has 15 teams ( seven in the Central Division and eight in the Pacific Division ) . The current alignment has existed since the 2017 -- 18 season . The number of NHL teams held constant at 30 teams from the 2000 -- 01 season when the Minnesota Wild and the Columbus Blue Jackets joined the league as expansion teams , until 2017 . That expansion capped a period in the 1990s of rapid expansion and relocation when the NHL added 9 teams to grow from 21 to 30 teams , and relocated four teams mostly from smaller northern cities ( e.g. , Hartford , Quebec ) to larger warmer metropolitan areas ( e.g. , Dallas , Phoenix ) . The league has not contracted any teams since the Cleveland Barons folded in 1978 . The league expanded for the first time in 17 years to 31 teams in 2017 with the addition of the Vegas Golden Knights . On December 7 , 2017 , an ownership group from Seattle applied for an expansion franchise to be the 32nd team . According to Forbes , in 2017 , all five of the most valuable teams were `` Original Six '' teams : the New York Rangers at approximately $1.5 billion , the Toronto Maple Leafs at $1.4 billion , the Montreal Canadiens at $1.25 billion , the Chicago Blackhawks at $1 billion , and the Boston Bruins at $890 million . At least eight NHL clubs operate at a loss . NHL teams are susceptible to the Canadian -- U.S. exchange rate : revenue from tickets , local and national advertising in Canada , and local and national Canadian media rights are collected in Canadian dollars , but all players ' salaries are paid in U.S. dollars regardless of whether a team is located in Canada or the U.S. List of teams ( edit ) Division Team City Arena Capacity Founded Joined General manager Head coach Captain Eastern Conference Atlantic Boston Bruins Boston , Massachusetts TD Garden 17,565 1924 Don Sweeney Bruce Cassidy Zdeno Chara Buffalo Sabres Buffalo , New York KeyBank Center 19,070 1970 Jason Botterill Phil Housley Vacant Detroit Red Wings Detroit , Michigan Little Caesars Arena 19,515 1926 Ken Holland Jeff Blashill Henrik Zetterberg Florida Panthers Sunrise , Florida BB&T Center 19,250 1993 Dale Tallon Bob Boughner Derek MacKenzie Montreal Canadiens Montreal , Quebec Bell Centre 21,302 1909 1917 Marc Bergevin Claude Julien Max Pacioretty Ottawa Senators Ottawa , Ontario Canadian Tire Centre 17,373 1992 Pierre Dorion Guy Boucher Erik Karlsson Tampa Bay Lightning Tampa , Florida Amalie Arena 19,092 1992 Steve Yzerman Jon Cooper Steven Stamkos Toronto Maple Leafs Toronto , Ontario Scotiabank Arena 18,819 1917 Kyle Dubas Mike Babcock Vacant Metropolitan Carolina Hurricanes Raleigh , North Carolina PNC Arena 18,680 1972 1979 * Don Waddell Rod Brind'Amour Jordan Staal Justin Faulk Columbus Blue Jackets Columbus , Ohio Nationwide Arena 18,144 2000 Jarmo Kekalainen John Tortorella Nick Foligno New Jersey Devils Newark , New Jersey Prudential Center 16,514 1974 * Ray Shero John Hynes Andy Greene New York Islanders New York City , New York Barclays Center Nassau Coliseum 15,795 13,900 1972 Lou Lamoriello Barry Trotz Vacant New York Rangers New York City , New York Madison Square Garden 18,006 1926 Jeff Gorton David Quinn Vacant Philadelphia Flyers Philadelphia , Pennsylvania Wells Fargo Center 19,500 1967 Ron Hextall Dave Hakstol Claude Giroux Pittsburgh Penguins Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania PPG Paints Arena 18,387 1967 Jim Rutherford Mike Sullivan Sidney Crosby Washington Capitals Washington , D.C.

Timeline ( edit ) Main article : History of organizational changes in the NHL Game ( edit ) Main article : Ice hockey NHL logo , used from 1946 until 2005 Each National Hockey League regulation game is 60 minutes long . The game is composed of three 20 - minute periods with an intermission between periods . At the end of regulation time , the team with the most goals wins the game . If a game is tied after regulation time , overtime ensues . During the regular season , overtime is a five - minute , three - on - three sudden - death period , in which whoever scores a goal first will win the game . Los Angeles Kings ' Mike Weaver clearing the puck away from Calgary Flames ' Daymond Langkow , December 21 , 2005 . If the game is still tied at the end of overtime , the game enters a shootout . Three players for each team in turn take a penalty shot . The team with the most goals during the three - round shootout wins the game . If the game is still tied after the three shootout rounds , the shootout continues but becomes sudden - death . Whichever team ultimately wins the shootout is awarded a goal in the game score and thus awarded two points in the standings . The losing team in overtime or shootout is awarded only one . Shootout goals and saves are not tracked in hockey statistics ; shootout statistics are tracked separately . There are no shootouts during the playoffs . Instead , multiple sudden - death , 20 - minute five - on - five periods are played until one team scores . Two games have reached six overtime periods , but none have gone beyond six . During playoff overtime periods , the only break is to clean the loose ice at the first stoppage after the period is halfway finished . Hockey rink ( edit ) Diagram of an NHL hockey rink : penalty boxes team benches scorekeepers ' area Main article : Hockey rink National Hockey League games are played on a rectangular hockey rink with rounded corners surrounded by walls and Plexiglas . It measures 200 feet ( 60.96 m ) by 85 feet ( 25.91 m ) in the NHL , approximately the same length but much narrower than International Ice Hockey Federation standards . The centre line divides the ice in half , and is used to judge icing violations . There are two blue lines that divide the rink roughly into thirds , delineating one neutral and two attacking zones . Near the end of both ends of the rink , there is a thin red goal line spanning the width of the ice , which is used to judge goals and icing calls . A trapezoidal area behind each goal net has been introduced . The goaltender can play the puck only within the trapezoid or in front of the goal line ; if the goaltender plays the puck behind the goal line and outside the trapezoidal area , a two - minute minor penalty for delay of game is assessed . The rule is unofficially nicknamed the `` Martin Brodeur rule '' . Since the 2013 -- 14 season , the league trimmed the goal frames by 4 inches ( 10 cm ) on each side and reduced the size of the goalies ' leg pads . Rules ( edit ) Main article : National Hockey League rules The National Hockey League 's rules are one of the two standard sets of professional ice hockey rules in the world . The rules themselves have evolved directly from the first organized indoor ice hockey game in Montreal in 1875 , updated by subsequent leagues up to 1917 , when the NHL adopted the existing NHA set of rules . The NHL 's rules are the basis for rules governing most professional and major junior ice hockey leagues in North America . Infractions of the rules , such as offside and icing , lead to a stoppage of play and subsequent face - offs , while more serious infractions leading to penalties to the offending teams . The league also determines the specifications for playing equipment used in its games . The league has regularly modified its rules to counter perceived imperfections in the game . The penalty shot was adopted from the Pacific Coast Hockey Association to ensure players were not being blocked from opportunities to score . For the 2005 -- 06 season , the league changed some of the rules regarding being offside . First , the league removed the `` offside pass '' or `` two - line pass '' rule , which required a stoppage in play if a pass originating from inside a team 's defending zone was completed on the offensive side of the centre line , unless the puck crossed the line before the player . Furthermore , the league reinstated the `` tag - up offside '' which allows an attacking player a chance to get back onside by returning to the neutral zone . The changes to the offside rule were among several rule changes intended to increase overall scoring , which had been in decline since the expansion years of the mid-nineties and the increased prevalence of the neutral zone trap . Since 2005 , when a team is guilty of icing the puck they are not allowed to make a line change or skater substitution of any sort before the following face - off ( except to replace an injured player or re-install a pulled goaltender ) . Since 2013 , the league has used hybrid icing , where a linesman stops play due to icing if a defending player ( other than the goaltender ) crosses the imaginary line that connects the two face - off dots in their defensive zone before an attacking player is able to . This was done to counter a trend of player injury in races to the puck . The league 's rules differ from the rules of the International Ice Hockey Federation ( IIHF ) , as used in tournaments such as the Olympics , which were themselves derived from the Canadian amateur ice hockey rules of the early 20th century . In the NHL , fighting leads to major penalties while IIHF rules , and most amateur rules , call for the ejection of fighting players . Usually , a penalized team can not replace a player that is penalized on the ice and is thus short - handed for the duration of the penalty , but if the penalties are coincidental , for example when two players fight , both teams remain at full strength . Also , unlike minor penalties , major penalties must be served to their full completion , regardless of number of goals scored during the power play . The NHL and IIHF differ also in playing rules , such as icing , the areas of play for goaltenders , helmet rules , officiating rules , timeouts and play reviews . The league also imposes a conduct policy on its players . Players are banned from gambling and criminal activities have led to the suspension of players . The league and the Players ' Association agreed to a stringent anti-doping policy in the 2005 bargaining agreement . The policy provides for a twenty - game suspension for a first positive test , a sixty - game suspension for a second positive test , and a lifetime suspension for a third positive test . Season structure ( edit ) Main article : Season structure of the NHL See also : List of NHL seasons The National Hockey League season is divided into a regular season ( from early October through early to mid April ) and a postseason ( the Stanley Cup playoffs ) . During the regular season , clubs play each other in a predefined schedule . In the regular season , each team plays 82 games : 41 games each of home and road . Eastern teams play 28 games in their own geographic division -- four against each of their seven other divisional opponents -- and 24 games against the eight remaining non-divisional intra-conference opponents -- three games against every team in the other division of its conference . Western teams play 26 or 29 games in their own geographic division -- four or five against each of their six or seven other divisional opponents -- and 21 or 24 games against the six or seven remaining non-divisional intra-conference opponents -- three games against every team in the other division of its conference , with one cross-division intra-conference match - up occurring in four games . All teams play every team in the other conference twice -- home and road . The league 's regular season standings are based on a point system . Two points are awarded for a win , one point for losing in overtime or a shootout , and zero points for a loss in regulation . At the end of the regular season , the team that finishes with the most points in each division is crowned the division champion , and the league 's overall leader is awarded the Presidents ' Trophy . The Stanley Cup playoffs , which go from April to the beginning of June , is an elimination tournament where two teams play against each other to win a best - of - seven series in order to advance to the next round . The final remaining team is crowned the Stanley Cup champion . Eight teams from each conference qualify for the playoffs : the top three teams in each division plus the two conference teams with the next highest number of points . The Stanley Cup playoffs are an elimination tournament where the teams are grouped in pairs to play best - of - seven series and the winners moving on to the next round . The two conference champions proceed to the Stanley Cup Final . In all rounds , the higher - ranked team is awarded home - ice advantage , with four of the seven games played at this team 's home venue . In the Stanley Cup Final , the team with the most points during the regular season has home - ice advantage . Entry draft ( edit ) Main article : NHL Entry Draft The annual NHL Entry Draft consists of a seven - round off - season draft held in late June . Early NHL drafts took place at the Queen Elizabeth ( currently Fairmont ) Hotel in Montreal . Amateur players from junior , collegiate , or European leagues are eligible to enter the Entry Draft . The selection order is determined by a combination of the standings at the end of the regular season , playoff results , and a draft lottery . The 15 teams that did not qualify for the playoffs are entered in a weighted lottery to determine the initial draft picks in the first round , with the last place team having the best chance of winning the lottery . Once the lottery determines the initial draft picks , the order for the remaining non-playoff teams is determined by the standings at the end of the regular season . For those teams that did qualify for the playoffs , the draft order is then determined by total regular season points for non-division winners that are eliminated in the first two rounds of the playoffs , then any division winners that failed to reach the Conference Finals . Conference finalists receive the 28th and 29th picks depending on total points , with the Stanley Cup runner - up given the 30th pick and the Stanley Cup champions the 31st pick . Trophies and awards ( edit ) Stanley Cup championships Defunct teams not included . Team Titles Montreal Canadiens 24 * Toronto Maple Leafs 13 Detroit Red Wings 11 Boston Bruins 6 Chicago Blackhawks 6 Edmonton Oilers 5 Pittsburgh Penguins 5 New York Islanders New York Rangers New Jersey Devils Colorado Avalanche Los Angeles Kings Philadelphia Flyers Anaheim Ducks Calgary Flames Carolina Hurricanes Dallas Stars Tampa Bay Lightning Washington Capitals * Includes one pre-NHL championship . Further information : List of Stanley Cup champions Main article : National Hockey League awards The Stanley Cup , on display at the Hockey Hall of Fame , is awarded annually to the league champion . Teams ( edit ) The most prestigious team award is the Stanley Cup , which is awarded to the league champion at the end of the Stanley Cup playoffs . The team that has the most points in the regular season is awarded the Presidents ' Trophy . The Montreal Canadiens are the most successful franchise in the league . Since the formation of the league in 1917 , they have 25 NHL championships ( three between 1917 and 1925 when the Stanley Cup was still contested in an interleague competition , twenty - two since 1926 after the Stanley Cup became the NHL 's championship trophy ) . They also lead all teams with 24 Stanley Cup championships ( one as an NHA team , twenty - three as an NHL team ) . Of the four major professional sports leagues in North America , the Montreal Canadiens are surpassed in the number of championships only by the New York Yankees of Major League Baseball , who have three more . The longest streak of winning the Stanley Cup in consecutive years is five , held by the Montreal Canadiens from 1955 -- 56 to 1959 -- 60 . The 1977 edition of the Montreal Canadiens , the second of four straight Stanley Cup champions , was named by ESPN as the second greatest sports team of all - time . Montreal , however , has not won a Stanley Cup since 1993 . The next most successful NHL franchise is the Toronto Maple Leafs with 13 Stanley Cup championships , most recently in 1967 . The Detroit Red Wings , with 11 Stanley Cup championships , are the most successful American franchise . The same trophy is reused every year for each of its awards . The Stanley Cup , much like its CFL counterpart , is unique in this aspect , as opposed to the Vince Lombardi Trophy , Larry O'Brien Trophy , and Commissioner 's Trophy , which have new ones made every year for that year 's champion . Despite only one trophy being used , the names of the teams winning and the players are engraved every year on the Stanley Cup . The same can also be said for the other trophies reissued every year . Players ( edit ) There are numerous trophies that are awarded to players based on their statistics during the regular season ; they include , among others , the Art Ross Trophy for the league scoring champion ( goals and assists ) , the Maurice `` Rocket '' Richard Trophy for the goal - scoring leader , and the William M. Jennings Trophy for the goaltender ( s ) for the team with the fewest goals against them . The other player trophies are voted on by the Professional Hockey Writers ' Association or the team general managers . These individual awards are presented at a formal ceremony held in late June after the playoffs have concluded . The most prestigious individual award is the Hart Memorial Trophy which is awarded annually to the Most Valuable Player ; the voting is conducted by members of the Professional Hockey Writers Association to judge the player who is the most valuable to his team during the regular season . The Vezina Trophy is awarded annually to the person deemed the best goaltender as voted on by the general managers of the teams in the NHL . The James Norris Memorial Trophy is awarded annually to the National Hockey League 's top defenceman , the Calder Memorial Trophy is awarded annually to the top rookie , and the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy is awarded to the player deemed to combine the highest degree of skill and sportsmanship ; all three of these awards are voted on by members of the Professional Hockey Writers Association . The Hockey Hall of Fame in Downtown Toronto In addition to the regular season awards , the Conn Smythe Trophy is awarded annually to the most valuable player during the NHL 's Stanley Cup playoffs . Furthermore , the top coach in the league wins the Jack Adams Award as selected by a poll of the National Hockey League Broadcasters Association . The National Hockey League publishes the names of the top three vote getters for all awards , and then names the award winner during the NHL Awards Ceremony . Players , coaches , officials , and team builders who have had notable careers are eligible to be voted into the Hockey Hall of Fame . Players can not enter until three years have passed since their last professional game , the shortest such time period of any major sport . One unique consequence has been Hall of Fame members ( specifically , Gordie Howe , Guy Lafleur , and Mario Lemieux ) coming out of retirement to play once more . If a player was deemed significant enough , the three - year wait would be waived ; only ten individuals have been honoured in this manner . In 1999 , Wayne Gretzky joined the Hall and became the last player to have the three - year restriction waived . After his induction , the Hall of Fame announced that Gretzky would be the last to have the waiting period waived . Origin of players ( edit ) Wayne Gretzky in a New York Rangers uniform in 1997 Further information : List of NHL statistical leaders by country In addition to Canadian and American born and trained players , who have historically composed a large majority of NHL rosters , the NHL also draws players from an expanding pool of other nations where organized and professional hockey is played . Since the collapse of the Soviet Bloc , political / ideological restrictions on the movement of hockey players from this region have disappeared , leading to a large influx of players mostly from Czech Republic , Slovakia and Russia into the NHL . Swedes , Finns , and other Western Europeans , who were always free to move to North America , came to the league in greater numbers than before . Many of the league 's top players in recent years have come from these European countries including Daniel Alfredsson , Erik Karlsson , Henrik Sedin , Daniel Sedin , Henrik Lundqvist , Jaromir Jagr , Patrik Elias , Zdeno Chara , Pavel Datsyuk , Evgeni Malkin , Nicklas Lidstrom and Alexander Ovechkin . European players were drafted and signed by NHL teams in an effort to bring in more `` skilled offensive players '' , although recently there has been a decline in European players as more American players enter the league . The addition of European players changed the style of play in the NHL and European style hockey has been integrated into the NHL game . As of the 2017 -- 18 season , the NHL has players from 17 different countries , with 46.0 % coming from Canada and 26.0 % from the United States , players from a further 15 countries make up 26.4 % of NHL rosters . The following table shows the six countries make up the vast majority of NHL players . The table follows the Hockey Hall of Fame convention of classifying players by the currently existing countries in which their birthplaces are located , without regard to their citizenship or where they were trained . Country Players ( 1988 -- 89 ) % Players ( 2002 -- 03 ) % Players ( 2006 -- 07 ) % Players ( 2010 -- 11 ) % Players ( 2017 -- 18 ) % Canada 551 75.4 488 49.8 495 52.7 521 53.3 404 46.0 United States 112 15.3 140 14.3 182 19.3 234 23.9 228 26.0 Sweden 23 3.1 58 5.9 49 5.2 63 6.4 87 9.9 Finland 18 2.5 38 3.9 42 4.5 30 3.1 38 4.3 Czech Republic 11 1.5 73 7.4 65 6.9 42 4.3 36 4.1 Russia 0.1 57 5.8 35 3.7 32 3.3 35 4.0 Total 731 100.0 980 100.0 942 100.0 978 100.0 878 100.0 Corporate sponsors ( edit ) The NHL lists its several official corporate partners into three categories : North American Partners , USA Partners , and Canada Partners . Discover Card is the league 's official credit card in the US , while competitor Visa is an official sponsor in Canada . Likewise , Tim Hortons is the league 's official coffee and doughnuts chain in Canada , while Dunkin ' Donuts is the NHL 's sponsor in the US . Among its North American corporate sponsors , Kraft Heinz sponsors Kraft Hockeyville , an annual competition in which communities compete to demonstrate their commitment to the sport of ice hockey . The winning community gets a cash prize dedicated to upgrading their local home arena , as well as the opportunity to host an NHL pre-season game . Two contests are held , one for communities across Canada and a separate competition for communities in the US . At least two of the North American corporate sponsors have ties to NHL franchise owners : the Molson family , founders of Molson Brewery , has owned the Montreal Canadiens for years , while SAP was co-founded by Hasso Plattner , the current majority owner of the San Jose Sharks . Many of these same corporate partners become the title sponsors for the league 's All - Star and outdoor games . Media coverage ( edit ) Main article : National Hockey League on television See also : List of current National Hockey League broadcasters Don Cherry , `` Coach 's Corner '' commentator on Hockey Night in Canada on CBC Canada ( edit ) Broadcasting rights in Canada have historically included the CBC 's Hockey Night in Canada ( HNIC ) , a Canadian tradition dating to 1952 , and even prior to that on radio since the 1920s . The current national television and digital rightsholder is Rogers Communications , under a 12 - year deal valued at C $5.2 billion which began in the 2014 -- 15 season , as the national broadcast and cable television rightsholders . National English - language coverage of the NHL is carried primarily by Rogers ' Sportsnet group of specialty channels ; Sportsnet holds national windows on Wednesday and Sunday nights . Hockey Night in Canada was maintained and expanded under the deal , airing up to seven games nationally on Saturday nights throughout the regular season . CBC maintains Rogers - produced NHL coverage during the regular season and playoffs . Sportsnet 's networks also air occasional games involving all - U.S. matchups . Quebecor Media holds national French - language rights to the NHL , with all coverage airing on its specialty channel TVA Sports . Games that are not broadcast as part of the national rights deal are broadcast by Sportsnet 's regional feeds , TSN 's regional feeds , and RDS . Regional games are subject to blackout for viewers outside of each team 's designated market . United States ( edit ) Main article : History of the National Hockey League on United States television Mike `` Doc '' Emrick , NBC Sports lead hockey play - by - play announcer Historically , the NHL has never fared well on American television in comparison to the other American professional leagues . The league 's American broadcast partners have been in flux for decades , ranging from such networks as CBS , SportsChannel America , the USA Network , Fox , ABC , and ESPN . National U.S. television rights are currently held by NBC Sports ; its current 10 - year , US $2 billion contract , which began in the 2011 -- 12 season , extended and unified rights deals that were first established in the 2005 -- 06 season , when Comcast acquired cable rights to replace ESPN , and NBC acquired broadcast television rights under a revenue - sharing agreement to replace ABC . NBC Sports Network and the company negotiated a new , 10 - year , unified rights deal worth nearly US $2 billion . Under this contract , NBCSN usually airs at least two regular season games per week , while NBC airs afternoon games on selected weekends . NBCUniversal holds exclusive rights to Wednesday night games , all games televised by the NBC network , and every game in the Stanley Cup playoffs beginning in the second round . Coverage of the playoffs and the Finals is split between the two networks , with other games shown on CNBC , USA Network , Golf Channel ( for a 2018 late first - round match ) and NHL Network . As in Canada , games not broadcast nationally are aired regionally within a team 's home market , and are subject to blackout outside of them . These broadcasters include regional sports network chains . Certain national telecasts on NBCSN are non-exclusive , and may also air in tandem with telecasts of the game by local broadcasters . However , national telecasts of these games are blacked out in the participating teams ' markets to protect the local broadcaster . NHL Network ( edit ) Main articles : NHL Network ( United States ) and NHL Network ( Canada ) The league co-owns the NHL Network , a television specialty channel devoted to the NHL . Its signature show is NHL Tonight . The NHL Network also airs live games , but primarily simulcasts of one of the team 's regional broadcasters . The U.S. version simulcasts selected regular season games nationally that are not aired by NBC Sports , as well as be used as an overflow channel during the playoffs . Out - of - market packages ( edit ) The NHL operates two subscription - based services allowing access to live , out - of - market games . NHL Centre Ice in Canada and NHL Center Ice in the United States offer access to out - of - market feeds of games through a cable or satellite television provider . The league also offers NHL.tv ( branded as Rogers NHL GameCentre Live in Canada ) , which allows the streaming of out - of - market games over the internet and is coordinated by MLB Advanced Media as of February 2016 . In the United States , NHL.tv does not carry national games or in - market games . International ( edit ) Outside of Canada and the United States , NHL games are broadcast across Europe , in the Middle East , in Australia , and in the Americas across Mexico , Central America , Dominican Republic , Caribbean , South America and Brazil , among others . NHL.tv is also available for people outside Canada and the United States to watch games online . In Canada the game is broadcast on sports centre . International competitions ( edit ) Main article : List of international games played by NHL teams See also : List of international ice hockey competitions featuring NHL players The National Hockey League has occasionally participated in international club competitions . Most of these competitions were arranged by the NHL or NHLPA . The first international club competition was held in 1976 , with eight NHL teams playing against the Soviet Championship League 's HC CSKA Moscow , and Krylya Sovetov Moscow . Between 1976 and 1991 , the NHL , and the Soviet Championship League would hold a number of exhibition games between the two leagues known as the Super Series . No NHL club had played a Russian - based club from the end of the Super Series in 1991 to 2008 , when the New York Rangers faced Metallurg Magnitogorsk in the 2008 Victoria Cup . In addition to the Russian clubs , NHL clubs had participated in a number of international club exhibitions and competitions with various European - based clubs . The first exhibition game to feature an NHL team against a European - based team ( aside from clubs based in the former Soviet Union ) was in December 1977 , when the New York Rangers faced Poldi Kladno of the Czechoslovak First Ice Hockey League . In the 2000s the NHL had organized four NHL Challenge series between NHL , and European clubs . From 2007 to 2011 , the NHL organized exhibition games prior to the beginning of the season , known as the NHL Premiere , between NHL clubs and teams from a number of European leagues . The 2011 NHL Premiere was the last NHL - organized club competition involving European teams . NHL clubs have also participated in IIHF - organized club tournaments . The most recent IIHF - organized event including a NHL club was the 2009 Victoria Cup , between the Swiss National League A 's ZSC Lions , and the Chicago Blackhawks . From 1998 to 2014 , during the quadrennial Winter Olympic years , the NHL suspended its all - star game and expanded the traditional all - star break to allow NHL players to represent their countries in the Olympic ice hockey tournament ; starting 2018 , because the All - Star game is held in late January , there would be no Olympic break . Conversely , the annual Ice Hockey World Championships are held every May at the same time as the Stanley Cup playoffs . Thus , NHL players generally only join their respective country 's team in the World Championships if their respective NHL team has been eliminated from Stanley Cup contention , or did not make the playoffs . In 2007 , the International Ice Hockey Federation ( IIHF ) formalized the `` Triple Gold Club '' , the group of players and coaches who have won an Olympic gold medal , a World Championship gold medal , and the Stanley Cup . The term had first entered popular use following the 2002 Winter Olympics , which saw the addition of the first Canadian members . As well as participating in the above international club competitions , the NHL and the National Hockey League Players ' Association organizes the World Cup of Hockey . Unlike the Ice Hockey World Championships and the Olympic tournament , both run by the International Ice Hockey Federation , the World Cup of Hockey is played under NHL - rules and not those of the IIHF . The tournament takes place prior to the NHL pre-season . The event is planned to be a quadrennial event beginning in 2016 . Popularity ( edit ) See also : NHL attendance The NHL is considered one of the four major professional sports leagues in North America , along with Major League Baseball , the National Football League , and the National Basketball Association . The league is very prominent in Canada , where hockey is the most popular of these four major sports as alongside CFL . Overall , hockey has the smallest total fan base of the four leagues , the smallest revenue from television , and the least sponsorship . The NHL holds one of the most affluent fan bases . Studies by the Sports Marketing Group conducted from 1998 to 2004 show that the NHL 's fan base is much more affluent than that of the PGA Tour . A study done by the Stanford Graduate School of Business in 2004 , found that NHL fans in America were the most educated and affluent of the four major leagues . Further it noted that season - ticket sales were more prominent in the NHL than the other three because of the financial ability of the NHL fan to purchase them . According to Reuters in 2010 , the largest demographic of NHL fans was highly sought after group males aged 18 -- 34 . The NHL estimates that half of its fan base roots for teams in outside markets . Beginning in 2008 , the NHL began a shift toward using digital technology to market to fans to capitalize on this . The debut of the Winter Classic , an outdoor regular season NHL game held on New Year 's Day 2008 , was a major success for the league . The game has since become an annual staple of the NHL schedule . This , along with the transition to a national `` Game of the Week '' and an annual `` Hockey Day in America '' regional coverage , all televised on NBC , has helped increase the NHL 's regular season television viewership in the United States . These improvements led NBC and the cable channel Versus to sign a ten - year broadcast deal , paying US $200 million per year for both American cable and broadcast rights ; the deal will lead to further increases in television coverage on the NBC channels . This television contract has boosted viewership metrics for the NHL . The 2010 Stanley Cup playoffs saw the largest audience in the history of the sport `` after a regular season that saw record - breaking business success , propelled in large part by the NHL 's strategy of engaging fans through big events and robust digital offerings . '' This success has resulted in a 66 percent rise in NHL advertising and sponsorship revenue . Merchandise sales were up 22 percent and the number of unique visitors on the NHL.com website were up 17 percent during the playoffs after rising 29 percent in the regular season .

The Canadiens won a Stanley Cup championship in 1916 as a member of the National Hockey Association , and 23 as a member of the NHL . Montreal also won the NHL championship twice without winning the Stanley Cup : in 1918 -- 19 when the Spanish flu cancelled the Stanley Cup finals against the Seattle Metropolitans of Pacific Coast Hockey Association and in 1924 -- 25 when they lost in the Stanley Cup finals to the Western Canada Hockey League 's Victoria Cougars .

Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( November 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The Big Four is the colloquial name for the four main banks in several countries , where the banking industry is dominated by just four institutions and where the phrase has gained currency . Contents ( hide ) 1 International use 2 Australia / New Zealand 3 Austria 4 Belgium 5 Brazil 6 Canada 7 China 8 Colombia 9 Czech Republic 10 Finland 11 France 12 Greece 13 Hong Kong 14 Hungary 15 India 16 Ireland 17 Italy 18 Japan 19 Lebanon 20 Luxembourg 21 Netherlands 22 Nigeria 23 Pakistan 24 Philippines 25 Portugal 26 Romania 27 Singapore 28 South Africa 29 South Korea 30 Spain 31 Sweden 32 Taiwan 33 Thailand 34 United Kingdom 35 United States 36 Vietnam 37 References International use ( edit ) Internationally , the term `` Big Four Banks '' has traditionally referred to the following central banks : The Federal Reserve The Bank of England The Bank of Japan The European Central Bank Australia / New Zealand ( edit ) See also : Banking in Australia In Australia , the `` big four banks '' refers to the four largest banks by market share , who between them hold 80 % of the home loan markets in the country . In 2012 , their combined total asset is A $ 2.66 trillion , which is about 200 % of Australian GDP in 2011 . In order of total assets , these are : National Australia Bank ( NAB ) Commonwealth Bank ( CBA ) ( was owned by Australian Government until 1996 ) Australia and New Zealand Banking Group ( ANZ ) Westpac ( WBC ) A longstanding policy of the federal government in Australia has been to maintain this status quo , called the `` four pillars policy '' . The policy has been maintained through the Global Recession of 2008 -- 09 , as Westpac acquired St. George Bank and the Commonwealth Bank acquired Bankwest , reinforcing the special status of the `` big four '' . Being New Zealand 's closest neighbour , with very close ties culturally and economically , has helped Australia dominate the banking sector there . Often referred to collectively as the ' big banks ' or the ' big Aussie banks ' , the `` Big Four '' Australian banks also dominate the New Zealand banking sector in the form of : Australia and New Zealand Banking Group , or ANZ , also comprising the former business of The National Bank . ASB Bank , formerly Auckland Savings Bank , wholly owned by the Commonwealth Bank The Bank of New Zealand ( BNZ ) , wholly owned by the National Australia Bank Westpac , formerly known as WestpacTrust after a merger with the Trust Bank . Together they hold over 90 % of gross loans and advances in New Zealand as well as close to 90 % of all mortgages . These four subsidiaries are massively profitable and in some cases even outperform the Australian parent company . The extent to which they dominate the banking sector can be seen in profits : In the 2012 / 2013 financial year , the largest of the Big Banks , ANZ New Zealand , made a profit of NZ $1.37 billion . The smallest , BNZ , made a profit of NZ $695 million . State - owned Kiwibank , community trust - owned TSB Bank , SBS Bank ( formerly Southland Building Society ) and Heartland Bank , the next four largest banks by profit , made NZ $97 million , NZ $73.5 million , NZ $14 million and NZ $7 million ( albeit with an underlying result of about NZ $30 million ) respectively . In other words , the profit of New Zealand 's next four largest banks ( after the Big Four ) is equal to less than 30 % of the smallest of the Big Four , BNZ . Austria ( edit ) The `` Big Four '' banks of Austria are : Erste Bank / Sparkasse * ( credit unions ) UniCredit Bank Austria ( formerly Creditanstalt ) Raiffeisen Bankengruppe * Österreichische Postsparkasse * separate legal entities operating under a common brand Belgium ( edit ) The `` Big Four '' banks of Belgium are a result of national - and international mergers in the early 90s . Belfius , government owned bank BNP Paribas Fortis , subsidiary of BNP Paribas ING Bank , subsidiary of the ING Group KBC Bank , including its CBC Banque subsidiary in the French Community of Belgium and KBC Brussels brand in the Brussels - Capital Region Brazil ( edit ) In Brazil , the `` big four '' , according to Exame Magazine in 2016 : Name Description Year Net Assets Itaú Unibanco Largest Private bank 2017 US $ 452.6 billion Banco do Brasil Largest State Owned Bank 2017 US $ 430.2 billion Caixa Econômica Federal State Owned Bank 2017 US $ 406.0 billion Banco Bradesco Private Bank 2017 US $ 391.6 billion Canada ( edit ) See also : Big Five ( banks ) There are five banks dominating the Canadian banking world , hence the `` Big Five '' is used instead of `` Big Four '' . The operation of Canadian banks include retail banking , mutual funds , insurance , credit cards , and brokerage activities . In addition , they have significant international operations in the form of subsidiaries ( i.e. CIBC FirstCaribbean International Bank , and TD Bank , N.A. ) . The Canadian banking operations of the Big Five are largely conducted out of each parent company , unlike U.S. banks that use a holding company structure to hold their primary retail banking subsidiaries . The Big Five include : Royal Bank of Canada ( RBC ) Toronto - Dominion Bank ( TD ) Bank of Nova Scotia ( Scotiabank ) Bank of Montreal ( BMO ) Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce ( CIBC ) China ( edit ) See also : Banking in China During the 1920s , the term `` Big Four '' applied to the Four Northern Banks of the Republic of China ( i.e. the four most capitalized commercial banks in Northern China ) . These were the Yien Yieh Commercial Bank , the Kincheng Banking Corporation , the Continental Bank and The China & South Sea Bank . These were contrasted with the Three Southern Banks of Southern China . By 1949 , the Big Four banks were the Bank of China , the Bank of Communications , the Central Bank of China and the Farmers Bank of China . All four were state - owned banks . These four , together with Central Trust of China , Postal Savings and Remittance Bureau of China , Central Cooperative Treasury of China , were called the `` Four Banks , Two Bureaus , One Treasury '' or `` 四 行 两 局 一 库 '' . In the People 's Republic of China , the Big Four state - owned commercial banks ( `` 四 大 国有 商业 银行 '' ) are : Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Bank of China China Construction Bank Agricultural Bank of China and have been described as such in the Western press .

7672091718883946899 | Eponym | Eponym - wikipedia Eponym Jump to : navigation , search `` Eponymous '' redirects here . For the R.E.M. album , see Eponymous ( album ) . Not to be confused with Namesake . An eponym is a person , place , or thing after whom or after which something is named , or believed to be named . The adjectives derived from eponym include eponymous and eponymic . For example , Elizabeth I of England is the eponym of the Elizabethan era , and `` the eponymous founder of the Ford Motor Company '' refers to Henry Ford . Recent usage , especially in the recorded - music industry , also allows eponymous to mean `` named after its central character or creator '' . The mythological Greek hero Orion is the eponym of the constellation Orion , shown here , and thus indirectly of the Orion spacecraft . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Other eponyms 3 Orthographic conventions 3.1 Capitalized versus lowercase 3.2 Genitive versus attributive 3.3 National varieties of English 3.4 Comparison table of eponym orthographic styling 4 Lists of eponyms 5 See also 6 References 7 External links History ( edit ) Periods have often been named after a ruler or other influential figure : One of the first recorded cases of eponymy occurred in the second millennium BC , when the Assyrians named each year after a high official ( limmu ) . In ancient Greece , the eponymous archon was the highest magistrate in classical Athens . Eponymous archons served a term of one year which took the name of that particular archon ( e.g. , 594 BC was named for Solon ) . Later historians provided yet another case of eponymy by referring to the period of Fifth - century Athens as The Age of Pericles after its most influential statesman Pericles . In Ptolemaic Egypt , the head priest of the Cult of Alexander and the Ptolemies was the eponymous priest after whom years were named . The Hebrew Bible explains the origins of peoples through individuals who bear their name . Jacob is renamed `` Israel '' ( Gen 35 : 9 ) and his sons ( or grandsons ) name the original 12 tribes of Israel , while Edomites ( Gen. 25 : 30 ) , Moabites and Ammonites ( Gen. 19 : 30 - 38 ) , Canaanites ( Gen. 9 : 20 - 27 ) and other tribes ( the Kenites named after Cain Gen. 4 : 1 - 16 ) are said to be named for other primal ancestors bearing their name . In most cases , the experiences and behavior of the ancestor is meant to indicate the characteristics of the people who take their name . In ancient Rome , one of the two formal ways of indicating a year was to cite the two annual consuls who served in that year . For example , the year we know as 59 BC would have been described as `` the consulship of Marcus Calpurnius Bibulus and Gaius Julius Caesar '' ( although that specific year was known jocularly as `` the consulship of Julius and Caesar '' because of the insignificance of Caesar 's counterpart ) . Under the empire , the consuls would change as often as every two months , but only the two consuls at the beginning of the year would lend their names to that year . During the Christian era , itself eponymous , many royal households used eponymous dating by regnal years . The Roman Catholic Church , however , eventually used the Anno Domini dating scheme based on the birth of Christ on both the general public and royalty . The regnal year standard is still used with respect to statutes and law reports published in some parts of the United Kingdom and in some Commonwealth countries ( England abandoned this practice in 1963 ) : a statute signed into law in Canada between February 6 , 1994 and February 5 , 1995 would be dated 43 Elizabeth II , for instance . Government administrations may become referred to eponymously , such as Kennedy 's Camelot and the Nixon Era . British monarchs have become eponymous throughout the English - speaking world for time periods , fashions , etc . Elizabethan , Georgian , Victorian , and Edwardian are examples of these . Trends Political trends or movements often become eponymous with a government leader . Examples include Jacksonian democracy , Stalinism , Maoism , Obamacare , and Thatcherism . Specific types of incidents In the United States , `` Columbine , '' usually prefixed by `` pull a - '' or `` did a - '' , has become eponymous with school shootings due to the Columbine High School Massacre , which was the deadliest school shooting which had ever happened in the United States at the time and heightened awareness to the issue of school violence . Other eponyms ( edit ) In intellectual property law an eponym can refer to a generic trademark or brand name , a form of metonymy , such as aspirin , heroin and thermos in the United States . In geography , places and towns can also be given an eponymous name through a relationship to an important figure . Peloponnesus , for instance , was said to derive its name from the Greek hero Pelops . In historical times , new towns have often been named ( and older communities renamed ) after their founders , discoverers , or notable individuals . Examples include Vancouver , British Columbia , named for explorer George Vancouver ; and Prince Albert , Saskatchewan , originally called Isbister 's Settlement but renamed after Queen Victoria 's husband and consort in 1866 . In science and technology , discoveries and innovations are often named after the discoverer or a figure influential in their advance . Examples are Avogadro 's number , the Diesel engine , meitnerium , Alzheimer 's disease , and the Apgar score . For a different view of the process see Stigler 's law of eponymy . In art : Plays , books , and other forms of entertainment may have eponymous names , such as the ancient Greek epic The Odyssey , derived from its principal character , Odysseus , and the novel Robinson Crusoe . The term is also applied to music , usually with regard to record titles , where it is prevalent and leads to confusion . For example , Bad Company 's first album was entitled Bad Company and contained a popular song named `` Bad Company '' . Parodying this , the band R.E.M. titled a 1988 compilation album Eponymous . In tribal antiquity , both in ancient Greece and independently among the Hebrews , tribes often took the name of a legendary leader ( as Achaeus for Achaeans , or Dorus for Dorians ) . The eponym gave apparent meaning to the mysterious names of tribes , and sometimes , as in the Sons of Noah , provided a primitive attempt at ethnology as well , in the genealogical relationships of eponymous originators . In zoology , an animal name that includes the name of a person is properly called an eponym . Orthographic conventions ( edit ) Capitalized versus lowercase ( edit ) Because proper nouns are capitalized in English , the usual default for eponyms is to capitalize the eponymous part of a term . When used as proper adjectives they are normally capitalized , for example Victorian , Shakespearean , and Kafkaesque . However , some eponymous adjectives and noun adjuncts are nowadays entered in many dictionaries as lowercase when they have evolved a common status , no longer deriving their meaning from the proper - noun origin . For example , Herculean when referring to Hercules himself , but often herculean when referring to the figurative , generalized extension sense ; and quixotic and diesel engine ( lowercase only ) . For any given term , one dictionary may enter only lowercase or only cap , whereas other dictionaries may recognize the capitalized version as a variant , either equally common as , or less common than , the first - listed styling ( marked with labels such as `` or '' , `` also '' , `` often '' , or `` sometimes '' ) . `` The Chicago Manual of Style '' , in its section `` Words derived from proper names '' , gives some examples of both lowercase and capitalized stylings , including a few terms styled both ways , and says , `` Authors and editors must decide for themselves , but whatever choice is made should be followed consistently throughout a work . '' When the eponym is used together with a noun , the common - noun part is not capitalized ( unless it is part of a title or it is the first word in a sentence ) . For example , in Parkinson disease ( named after James Parkinson ) , Parkinson is capitalized , but disease is not . In addition , the adjectival form , where one exists , is usually lowercased for medical terms ( thus parkinsonian although Parkinson disease ) , and gram - negative , gram - positive although Gram stain . Uppercase Gram - positive or Gram - negative however are also commonly used in scientific journal articles and publications . In other fields , the eponym derivative is commonly capitalized , for example , Newtonian in physics , and Platonic in philosophy ( however , use lowercase platonic when describing love ) . The capitalization is retained after a prefix and hyphen , e.g. non-Newtonian . For examples , see the comparison table below . Genitive versus attributive ( edit ) English can use either genitive case or attributive position to indicate the adjectival nature of the eponymous part of the term . ( In other words , that part may be either possessive or non-possessive . ) Thus Parkinson 's disease and Parkinson disease are both acceptable . Medical dictionaries have been shifting toward nonpossessive styling in recent decades . Thus Parkinson disease is more likely to be used in the latest medical literature ( especially in postprints ) than is Parkinson 's disease . National varieties of English ( edit ) American and British English spelling differences may apply to eponyms . For example , British style would typically be caesarean section , which is also found in American medical publications , but cæsarean section ( with a digraph ) is sometimes seen in ( mostly older ) British writing , and cesarean is preferred by American dictionaries and some American medical works .

Numbers indicate the number of electoral votes allotted to each state . ( Note : North Carolina and Rhode Island had not yet ratified the Constitution , the New York legislature was deadlocked , and Vermont was operating as a de facto unrecognized state . ) President before election None ( Office created by the U.S. Constitution ) Elected President George Washington Nonpartisan The United States presidential election of 1788 -- 89 was the first quadrennial presidential election . It was held from Monday , December 15 , 1788 , to Saturday , January 10 , 1789 . It was conducted under the new United States Constitution , which had been ratified earlier in 1788 . In the election , George Washington was unanimously elected for the first of his two terms as president , and John Adams became the first vice president . Under the first federal Constitution ratified in 1781 , known as the Articles of Confederation , the United States had no ceremonial head of state and the executive branch of government was part of the Congress , as it is in countries that use parliamentary systems of government . All federal power was reserved to the Congress of the Confederation , whose `` President of the United States in Congress Assembled '' was also chair of the de facto cabinet , called the Committee of the States . The United States Constitution created the offices of President of the United States and Vice President of the United States , and established that these offices would be elected separately from Congress . The Constitution established an Electoral College in which each elector would cast two votes , with no distinction made between electoral votes for president and electoral votes for vice president ; this procedure would be modified in 1804 through the ratification of the Twelfth Amendment . The different states had varying methods for choosing presidential electors . Many states held a popular vote , but in other states , the state legislature appointed the electors . Washington had distinguished himself in his role as Commander - in - Chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War , and he was enormously popular . After Washington agreed to come out of retirement , it was widely assumed that he would be elected president . Washington did not select a running mate , and no formal political parties had arisen , so it was unclear who would become the first vice president . Prior to the election , Thomas Jefferson predicted that a popular Northern leader like Governor John Hancock of Massachusetts or Adams , a former minister to Great Britain who had represented Massachusetts in Congress , would be elected vice president . Anti-Federalist leaders like Patrick Henry ( who ultimately did not run ) and George Clinton , who had opposed ratification of the Constitution , also loomed as potential choices . All 69 electors cast one vote for Washington , thus making his election unanimous . Adams won 34 electoral votes , making him the vice president - elect . The remaining 35 electoral votes were split among 10 different candidates , including John Jay , who finished in third place with 9 electoral votes . Washington was inaugurated in April 1789 , thus beginning the first presidency . Contents 1 Candidates 1.1 Federalist candidates 1.2 Anti-Federalist candidates 2 General election 2.1 Results 2.1. 1 Popular vote 2.1. 2 Electoral vote 3 Results by state 3.1 Popular vote 3.2 Electoral vote 4 Electoral college selection 5 See also 6 References 7 Bibliography 8 External links Candidates ( edit ) No official federal political parties existed at the time of the 1788 -- 89 presidential election . Candidates might be Federalists , meaning they supported the ratification of the Constitution , or Anti-Federalists , meaning they opposed ratification . These designations were not established or organized political parties , but each forming faction supported Washington for President . During this time , the Federalists were called by name of Cosmopolitans , and the Anti-Federalists as Localists . The terms `` Federalist '' and `` Anti-Federalists '' were not commonplace names until later elections . Although the first election was not known for its extensive campaigning , the beginnings of lobbying can be seen in the first 1788 -- 1789 election for president . Maryland is a telltale example of the early formation of the two - party system , as the unofficial parties campaigned locally , advertising their platforms in order to appeal to the German - speaking population , and as a result , received substantially higher voter turnout rates . Party advocates in some states lobbied through public forums , parades in the streets , and dinners , forming what George Washington warned against in his farewell address -- polarizing factions . The effects in the formation of these divisions almost became a determining factor on whether George Washington would actually run for a second term , which would have eliminated the current two - term tradition . More often than not , divisions during elections prior to 1788 were based not on political stance , but on the reputations and family names of the different candidates . Some states had virtually no factional competition , especially in the south , as states like Georgia , North Carolina , and South Carolina had little political organization . These states would at times go years without hosting elections , unless an election was deemed necessary by the state 's legislative body . Federalist candidates ( edit ) John Adams , former Minister to Great Britain from Massachusetts John Jay , United States Secretary of Foreign Affairs from New York John Rutledge , former Governor of South Carolina John Hancock , Governor of Massachusetts Samuel Huntington , Governor of Connecticut Benjamin Lincoln , former U.S. Secretary of War from Massachusetts George Washington , former Commander - in - Chief of the Continental Army from Virginia General George Washington from Virginia John Adams from Massachusetts Secretary John Jay of New York Governor John Rutledge of South Carolina Governor John Hancock of Massachusetts Governor Samuel Huntington of Connecticut Maj . General Benjamin Lincoln from Massachusetts Anti-Federalist candidates ( edit ) George Clinton , Governor of New York Governor George Clinton of New York General election ( edit ) Results by county explicitly indicating the percentage of the winning candidate in each county . Shades of yellow are for the Federalists . In the absence of political parties , there was no formal nomination process . The framers of the Constitution had presumed that Washington would be the first president , and there was no opposition to him since George Washington was widely seen as `` essential to the successful operation of the new government . '' The nation was undivided , regardless of national beliefs or affiliations , in its decision of Washington as president , so it was of little curiosity to the nation that he won unanimously during the 1788 -- 89 election . Alexander Hamilton , a devoted advocate of George Washington , stated to Washington that `` ... the point of light in which you stand home and abroad will make an infinite difference in the respectability in which the government will begin its operations in the alternative of your being or not being the head of state . '' Alexander Hamilton 's letter to Washington is an attempt to persuade him to leave retirement on his farm in Mount Vernon , Virginia to run for the presidency , exemplifying the unanimous nature of George Washington 's position as a candidate in the first election . Less certain was the choice for the vice presidency , which contained no definite job description in the constitution . Although , the job title that came with being vice-president was as the head of the senate , unrelated to the executive branch . However , the Constitution did stipulate the position would be awarded to the runner - up in the presidential election . Because Washington was from Virginia , many assumed that a vice president would be chosen from one of the northern states to ease sectional tensions . In an August 1788 letter , U.S. Minister to France Thomas Jefferson wrote that he considered John Adams and John Hancock , both prominent citizens from Massachusetts , to be the top contenders . Jefferson suggested John Jay , James Madison , and John Rutledge as other possible candidates . Voter turnout was particularly low in the first election . Experts estimate that only 1.8 - 6 % of the population participated . This was not due to a general lack of interest in the election , but rather a general lack of voting status . There were many restrictions put on potential voters , reducing the pool of would - be voters to a mere fraction of the population . The eligible voting population was primarily made up of white , male landowners , most of whom were educated . Of the people who could potentially vote , few knew anything of running candidates due to the inability to communicate to masses of people during the 18th century , generally making informed voting nearly impossible . Those who were of a different religion or without property were considered unfit to vote due to the idea that they could be easily swayed for one candidate or another , or had the possibility of creating detrimental factions in opposition to the government . The average person was considered uneducated , which included women , slaves , non citizens , indentured servants , and individuals younger than the age of 21 . The qualities of a voter that were considered essential for a voter fit the characteristics of a `` gentleman , '' as property owners were considered to have a `` stake in society , '' deeming them independent and morally adept enough to be considered responsible voters . Voting eligibility varied from colony to colony , such as in Virginia and Connecticut which required a man to acquire a larger amount of property in order to hold different positions in office . The most common form of determining eligibility was the `` forty pound rule '' , a common English practice that requires of voters to own forty pounds worth of land or receive a 5 percent return on the owned land . These eligible voter restrictions were made more inclusive with the later passage of the 15th amendment that removed racial affiliation as an eligible voter characteristic , and with the 19th amendment in 1920 , which allowed for the suffrage of women . No official laws were established barring immigrants who did not speak English from voting , but they were greatly discouraged from doing so by means of anti-immigrant rhetoric . The expectation was that any non-English speaking residents in the colonies were assumed to be ineligible due to property requirements . Regarding the 1788 -- 1789 elections , eligible voting was determined by the type of Christianity that an individual affiliated with . Only Protestants , and in some instances certain denominations , could vote in certain colonies . For example , only congregationalists retained the right to vote in Massachusetts . Jews , Quakers , and especially Catholics could not vote legally in states such as Rhode Island and Virginia . However , this was not the case in every colony , as Pennsylvania allowed every citizen regardless of property to have the right to vote . Due to the sentiments of freedom and independence following the revolution , nominations became more localized and frequent , access to voting booths increased dramatically , and the first instances of the `` Australian '' ( i.e. , secret ) ballot began to pop up within the United States . Although many people were more apt to participate in local elections , nearly 90 percent of white males were able to vote in states like New Jersey , Pennsylvania , Georgia , North Carolina , South Carolina , and New Hampshire . An often unconsidered adversity in the Election of 1788 -- 89 was great difficulty in communicating and convening for assembly due to `` impassable , perilous roads , poorly - maintained bridges , and slow postal delivery . '' Voter turnout was inhibited significantly , as traveling to the nearest polling place could take days , and for many , leaving the farm unattended for prolonged periods of time could not be afforded in small middle - class agrarian households which relied on daily manual labor and upkeep of farmsteads . Congress also moved at a glacial rate due to these obstacles , and it even took two months for George Washington to learn that he had won the Presidency , and spent an entire week traveling from Virginia to New York to be sworn in as president . A total of four electoral votes were lost , two in Virginia as well as in Maryland , due to complications involving travel and private matters . These complications played a large role in the outcome of different aspects of the first election , ultimately causing necessary compromises that hindered the organizational efficiency of the new government . Electors were chosen by the individual states , and each cast one vote for Washington . The electors used their second vote to cast a scattering of votes : while Adams won a plurality of these votes , a majority of the 69 electors voted for a candidate other than Adams . This was due largely to a scheme perpetrated by Alexander Hamilton , who feared that Adams would tie with Washington , throwing the election to the House of Representatives and embarrassing Washington and the new Constitution . Thus , Adams received only 34 of 69 votes , with the remaining 35 ballots split between ten other candidates . As the electors were being selected , rumors spread that there was an Anti-Federalist plot afoot to elect Richard Henry Lee or Patrick Henry president over Washington , with George Clinton as their choice for vice president . These rumors may have been encouraged by those sympathetic to the Federalists , who wished to discourage electors from voting for Clinton . If so , this strategy was effective : Clinton received only three electoral votes , possibly due to the fear that a vote for Clinton was effectively a vote against Washington . Only ten states out of the original thirteen cast electoral votes in this election . North Carolina and Rhode Island were ineligible to participate as they had not yet ratified the United States Constitution . New York failed to appoint its allotment of eight electors because of a deadlock in the state legislature . Squabbles over the choice of the capital city lead to further party divisions , and cutthroat campaigning strategies were underway from slandering rumors to redistricting . The Massachusetts General Court had tampered with district borders to favor certain ideological inclinations , known today as `` gerrymandering . '' Patrick Henry redrew districts for the House of Representatives election in favor of the Localists , aiding James Monroe to win the popular vote . Other slander in local elections that set the precedent for the Election of 1788 were the widespread conspiracy theories that often plagued candidates in running for office . Candidates published articles attacking the opposer . In South Carolina , a representative 's character in terms of representing local interests was tarnished . Dave Ramsey , from New Jersey , contended in a three - way election to represent the Charleston district in 1788 . Rumors circulated about his interests in `` an emancipation of negroes , '' to which Ramsey rebutted with attempting to prove that his opponent , William Smith , was not considered a citizen under the constitution . Tensions on divisive issues increased regardless of the fact that there were no official party systems in place leading up to the 1788 election . Although these contentions played no part in Washington 's unanimous vote , they revealed the strategies in which two groups attempted to secure positions in the Vice Presidential and legislative positions . The founders attempted to create a society that supports more nationalistic world views that work to benefit the nation as a whole , as opposed to candidates self - interest and by simply representing the popular vote 's local will . Considering the parochial nature of American society in the 18th century , it was assumed that most presidential elections would end up in the House of Representatives since electors would vote for locally known leaders and there would be no clear majority , hence the safeguarded structure of the electoral college , with one vote being mandatory out of state . The founders presumed that most elections would obtain no majority vote by the electors , as it was nearly depicted in the competitive election of John Adams as vice president . Yet , the House of Representatives has only chosen the President in 1801 and 1825 as opposed to most elections . Although the American political system did not pan out as the founders had hoped , the Election of 1788 -- 1789 shaped the federal body experienced in the United States today . James Bryce described this in The American Commonwealth , `` So hard it is to keep even a rigid constitution from warping and bending under the actual forces of politics .

The New York legislature failed to appoint its allotted 8 electors in time , so there were no voting electors from New York . Two electors from Maryland did not vote . One elector from Virginia did not vote and another elector from Virginia was not chosen because an election district failed to submit returns . The identity of this candidate comes from The Documentary History of the First Federal Elections ( Gordon DenBoer ( ed . ) , University of Wisconsin Press , 1984 , p. 441 ) . Several respected sources , including the Biographical Directory of the United States Congress and the Political Graveyard , instead show this individual to be James Armstrong of Pennsylvania . However , primary sources , such as the Senate Journal , list only Armstrong 's name , not his state . Skeptics observe that Armstrong received his single vote from a Georgia elector . They find this improbable because Armstrong of Pennsylvania was not nationally famous -- his public service to that date consisted of being a medical officer during the American Revolution and , at most , a single year as a Pennsylvania judge .

While she is at work during the day , he hangs out with other pets in the building : tabby cat Chloe , pug Mel , dachshund Buddy , and budgerigar Sweet Pea . One day , Katie adopts Duke , a large mongrel from the pound , leaving Max jealous because of her divided focus on Duke . Enraged by Max 's attitude towards him , Duke tries to abandon Max in an alley , but they are both attacked by cats led by Sphynx cat Ozone who removes both dogs ' collars and leaves them to be caught by Animal Control . Duke fears that he will be killed if he goes back to the pound . When Gidget , a white Pomeranian who is ( not so ) secretly in love with Max , discovers that he is missing , she decides to find him . Max and Duke are rescued by a white rabbit named Snowball , the leader of `` The Flushed Pets '' -- a gang of sewer - dwelling animals who hate humans because their owners mistreated them . After Max and Duke pretend to despise humans as much as they do by saying they killed their owners , the Flushed Pets invite them to join . Before they can prove their loyalty by allowing a one - fanged viper to bite them , Snowball learns from the cats that Max and Duke are domesticated . The two dogs escape the sewers and board a ferry to Brooklyn , inadvertently killing the viper in the process . Snowball vows to kill them and leads the Flushed Pets after them . Meanwhile , Gidget recruits a red - tailed hawk named Tiberius to find Max , but he mistakenly locates Ozone , whom Gidget coerces into telling what he knows about the dogs . They then enlist Mel , Buddy , Chloe , guinea pig Norman and Sweet Pea . On the way , they meet Pops , an old Basset Hound who helps Gidget and the pets find Max . Meanwhile , Max and Duke raid a sausage factory for food . Then , Gidget and her team encounter Snowball , who vows to kill them as well , and Norman is captured as the rest of Gidget 's team flees . In the meantime , Duke tells Max about his previous owner , Fred , an elderly man who adopted him as a puppy and loved spending time with him . One day , Duke got lost while chasing a butterfly and was caught by Animal Control , but Fred never came to claim him . Max convinces him to visit Fred 's house in a nearby neighborhood , confident Fred will still love him and take him back . When they arrive at Fred 's house , they learn from the resident cat Reginald that Fred has died . Heartbroken , Duke accuses Max of attempting to get rid of him and barks at the new homeowners who have just returned to the house and called Animal Control . The handlers catch Max , but Duke interferes long enough for Max to escape and ends up being captured instead . While trying to rescue Duke as he follows the Animal Control van , Max is attacked by Snowball who tries to kill him . However , when his gang is captured , Snowball realizes that he and Max must work together to rescue them . They drive a city bus into the van on the Brooklyn Bridge , stopping traffic . The Flushed Pets encircle Max , unaware of his partnership with Snowball , but Gidget and her team save him . Upon seeing Gidget using her kung - fu fighting skills , and Max starts to fall in love with her . The van gets stuck in scaffolding and the Flushed Pets escape . As soon as Max gets the keys to Duke 's cage , the van plummets into the East River with him inside . Max is unable to free Duke , so Snowball jumps into the river to retrieve the keys , allowing them to escape the sinking van . The entire group returns to the apartment block by pig - driven taxi . Max expresses his love for Gidget , who returns his affection . Snowball and the Flushed Pets then come up with a new plan to annihilate all humans , but a little girl named Molly arrives and adopts Snowball and the remaining Flushed Pets return to the sewers . At first , Snowball resists , but gives in and lets himself become a domesticated pet . The other pets return to their homes and embrace their owners , and Max and Duke finally reunite with Katie , sparking a true friendship . At the film 's epilogue , Buddy and Mel show up in costume at a party in poodle Leonard 's apartment . Leonard 's owner returns and Tattoo crashes to the floor on the chandelier .

Production ( edit ) Renaud first became involved with the project in 2012 , while he was still working on Despicable Me 2 . At that time , Illumination 's CEO Chris Meledandri pitched him an idea on a film about what pets do when their caretakers are away . While Renaud found the premise interesting he and his team did not know what form the story would take , with them at one point considering making it a murder mystery , before deciding to make something `` that was a bit more relatable '' The team used Jean - Jacques Sempé as an influence in designing the environment and attention was specifically paid to keep the designs `` very vertically oriented '' In keeping with the tradition of old WB cartoons , the owners faces are almost never seen . The home of the Flushed Pets was created to `` hint at the darker side '' of pet ownership `` without , hopefully , getting too heavy . as well as to explore `` this whole mythology in New York of the world that 's unseen , '' while still maintaining the pet theme . The animation was created entirely in France by Illumination Mac Guff .

Critical response ( edit ) On Rotten Tomatoes , the film has an approval rating of 75 % based on 208 reviews with an average rating of 6.2 / 10 . The website 's critical consensus reads , `` Fast - paced , funny , and blessed with a talented voice cast , The Secret Life of Pets offers a beautifully animated , cheerfully undemanding family - friendly diversion . '' On Metacritic , the film has a score of 61 out of 100 based on 39 critics , indicating `` generally favorable reviews . '' Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` A -- '' on an A+ to F scale . Peter Travers of Rolling Stone gave the film three out of four stars and called it `` an animated fluffball -- a sort of Toy Story with pets does everything to drive you crazy and ends up being totally irresistible . '' Scott Tobias , writing for NPR , characterized the film 's concept as `` Toy Story but with house pets , '' highlighting the film 's `` thinly distinguished characters '' and `` gloppy sentimentality . '' Steven Rea of The Philadelphia Inquirer gave the film three out of four stars and said `` In much the same way that the smash Zootopia demonstrated that creatures of different culture and class and species are better off when they come together , The Secret Life of Pets is a testament to teamwork and friendship and fixing the rifts that divide us . Let the fur -- and the warm , fuzzy feelings -- fly . '' However , some critics disliked the film 's unexpected similarities with Pixar 's Toy Story . Matthew Parkinson of The Escapist compared the plots of both films and wrote that `` The Secret Life of Pets feels like one of those hour - long ripoffs you 'd see on a children 's television network . '' Ethan Anderton of the website / Film criticised the film 's characterisation , and noted that the relationship between Max and Duke was akin to `` Woody and Buzz Lightyear all over again .

"A Jack Russell Terrier named Max lives with his owner Katie in a Manhattan apartment. While she is at work during the day, he hangs out with other pets in the building: tabby cat Chloe, pug Mel, dachshund Buddy, and budgerigar Sweet Pea. One day, Katie adopts Duke, a large mongrel from the pound, leaving Max jealous because of her divided focus on Duke. Enraged by Max's attitude towards him, Duke tries to abandon Max in an alley, but they are both attacked by cats led by Sphynx cat Ozone who removes both dogs' collars and leaves them to be caught by Animal Control. Duke fears that he will be killed if he goes back to the pound. When Gidget, a white Pomeranian who is (not so) secretly in love with Max, discovers that he is missing, she decides to find him.\n"

Klinsmann and Löw had met years earlier at a coaching school and both shared a philosophy focused on attacking football . Under their reign , Klinsmann and Löw 's German team reached the semi-final stage at the 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup and 2006 FIFA World Cup . Germany lost 3 -- 2 to Brazil in the semi-final of the 2005 Confederations Cup . Germany defeated Mexico 4 -- 3 in the third place encounter . Klinsmann and Löw 's new attacking philosophy saw Germany score the most goals ( 15 in 5 matches ) of any team in the tournament . Germany opened the 2006 World Cup on 9 June in Munich with a 4 -- 2 victory against Costa Rica in an exciting match . A last minute 1 -- 0 win over Poland and a 3 -- 0 over Ecuador followed . Germany defeated Sweden in the round of 16 with two Lukas Podolski goals , followed by a grueling battle with Argentina . In the penalties after finishing extra time at 1 -- 1 , the coaching staff gave Jens Lehmann a prepared list of possible Argentinian penalty takers and their preferred way to shoot , which was reported to have helped ensure Germany 's victory . The semi-final match with Italy was a disappointment however , with the hosts falling 2 -- 0 after reaching the 119th minute in extra time with the score at 0 -- 0 . Germany , however , turned in a dominant performance against Portugal in the third place match , winning 3 -- 1 on two Bastian Schweinsteiger goals . Besides a focus on attacking football and youth development , Klinsmann 's staff also introduced an alternative B - team : Team 2006 , to experiment with new aspiring players suitable to play at the home World Cup . Also introduced were an enhanced fitness coaching staff , as well as Oliver Bierhoff as `` Business Manager '' -- this job revolves around public relations , general management and everything not directly related to coaching -- and finally a mental coach , Dr. Hans - Dieter Hermann , who has the job of preparing the German players for stressful situations in major tournaments . Manager ( edit ) Euro 2008 ( edit ) Löw and his assistant Hans - Dieter Flick in 2006 On 12 July 2006 , following Klinsmann 's decision not to renew his contract , Löw was named as the new manager of Germany . Löw obtained a contract for two years and announced that he wanted to continue in the philosophy developed with Klinsmann to play with an offensive style . Löw was particularly concerned with the amount of time his players hold on to the ball before passing . During his tenure , he reduced this time significantly , increasing the pace of the German game . He declared that his aim was to win Euro 2008 . His first game in charge , a friendly against Sweden in Gelsenkirchen on 16 August 2006 , was a 3 -- 0 success in which Miroslav Klose scored twice and Bernd Schneider scored the other . Löw had a successful start in qualifying for Euro 2008 with wins over the Republic of Ireland and San Marino . On 7 October 2006 , Germany won 2 -- 0 against Georgia in the Ostseestadion in Rostock , which was the fourth consecutive success for Löw and his team , the best start of a new head coach of the German national team ever . The team extended this record to five wins in the next match , the Euro 2008 qualifier against Slovakia in Bratislava on 11 October , with a 4 -- 1 victory . The Slovaks ' strike was the first goal conceded by Germany under Löw 's reign .

Löw 's first loss as manager came in his eighth game on 28 March 2007 , an experimental squad lost 0 -- 1 against Denmark . He had given Robert Enke and Patrick Helmes their debuts . When qualification for Euro 2008 was ensured , Löw 's record stood at 11 wins , 1 loss and 1 draw from 13 matches and a 41 : 6 goal difference . This includes the first win over England in London 's new Wembley Stadium . Germany lost to the Czech Republic in qualifying on 17 October 2007 . This was the second loss for Löw . Germany finished qualifying in second place . In the final match of 2007 , Germany and Wales finished in a 0 -- 0 draw .

Germany had a 2 -- 0 lead at half -- time . In their final match before Euro 2008 , Germany defeated Serbia 2 -- 1 . At Euro 2008 , Germany defeated Poland 2 -- 0 in their first game , with two goals from Lukas Podolski . In their second game , Germany were beaten 2 -- 1 by Croatia , while in their final group game , against Austria , Löw was sent to the stands by the referee Manuel Mejuto González -- along with his Austrian counterpart Josef Hickersberger -- for arguing with the fourth official . Following his dismissal , he was seen talking to Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel about the incident . Nonetheless , Germany won the match 1 -- 0 with a goal from Michael Ballack to progress to the quarter - finals as runners up because of their earlier loss to Croatia . Löw changed the 4 -- 4 -- 2 system after the group stages to a 4 -- 2 -- 3 -- 1 system , and left striker Mario Gómez out of the starting lineup . Though he was forced to watch from the sidelines , his team defeated Portugal 3 -- 2 . In the quarter - final , Löw was banned from giving any directions to his team even through telephone calls . Later Löw declared that he had put seven different scenarios with his assistant Hansi Flick in order to contain Portugal . In an exciting match against Turkey in the semi-finals , Germany won 3 -- 2 . Germany then lost 1 -- 0 to Spain in the final on 29 June 2008 . 2010 World Cup ( edit ) Further progress was evident in qualifying for South Africa as Germany booked their place at the 2010 World Cup undefeated .

Nonetheless , Germany won 2 -- 1 after extra time , thereby setting up a quarter - final clash with France . Germany edged France 1 -- 0 . In the semi-final match , Germany defeated hosts Brazil 7 -- 1 to reach the tournament 's final ; the result was Brazil 's worst defeat in FIFA World Cup history .

This article may contain an excessive amount of intricate detail that may only interest a specific audience . Please help by spinning off or relocating any relevant information , and removing excessive detail that may be against Wikipedia 's inclusion policy . ( March 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) An example SDS in a US format provides guidance for handling a hazardous substance and information on its composition and properties . A safety data sheet ( SDS ) , material safety data sheet ( MSDS ) , or product safety data sheet ( PSDS ) is an important component of product stewardship , occupational safety and health , and spill - handling procedures . SDS formats can vary from source to source within a country depending on national requirements . SDSs are a widely used system for cataloging information on chemicals , chemical compounds , and chemical mixtures . SDS information may include instructions for the safe use and potential hazards associated with a particular material or product . The SDS should be available for reference in the area where the chemicals are being stored or in use . There is also a duty to properly label substances on the basis of physico - chemical , health or environmental risk . Labels can include hazard symbols such as the European Union standard symbols . A SDS for a substance is not primarily intended for use by the general consumer , focusing instead on the hazards of working with the material in an occupational setting . It is important to use an SDS specific to both country and supplier , as the same product ( e.g. paints sold under identical brand names by the same company ) can have different formulations in different countries . The formulation and hazard of a product using a generic name may vary between manufacturers in the same country .

Safety , health and environmental regulations / legislation specific for the substance or mixture 15.2 . Chemical safety assessment SECTION 16 : Other information National and International requirements ( edit ) Canada ( edit ) In Canada , the program known as the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System ( WHMIS ) establishes the requirements for SDSs in workplaces and is administered federally by Health Canada under the Hazardous Products Act , Part II , and the Controlled Products Regulations . European Union ( edit ) Safety data sheets have been made an integral part of the system of Regulation ( EC ) No 1907 / 2006 ( REACH ) . The original requirements of REACH for SDSs have been further adapted to take into account the rules for safety data sheets of the Global Harmonised System ( GHS ) and the implementation of other elements of the GHS into EU legislation that were introduced by Regulation ( EC ) No 1272 / 2008 ( CLP ) via an update to Annex II of REACH . The SDS must be supplied in an official language of the Member State ( s ) where the substance or mixture is placed on the market , unless the Member State ( s ) concerned provide ( s ) otherwise ( Article 31 ( 5 ) of REACH ) . The European Chemicals Agency ( ECHA ) has published a guidance document on the compilation of safety data sheets . Germany ( edit ) The German Federal Water Management Act requires that substances be evaluated for negative influence on the physical , chemical or biological characteristics of water . These are classified into numeric water hazard classes ( WGK or WHC , depending on whether you use the German or English abbreviation ) . WGK nwg : Non-water polluting substance WGK 1 : Slightly water polluting substance WGK 2 : Water polluting substance WGK 3 : Highly water polluting substance South Africa ( edit ) This section contributes to a better understanding of the regulations governing SDS within the South African framework . As regulations may change , it is the responsibility of the reader to verify the validity of the regulations mentioned in text . As globalisation increased and countries engaged in cross-border trade , the quantity of hazardous material crossing international borders amplified . Realising the detrimental effects of hazardous trade , the United Nations established a committee of experts specialising in the transportation of hazardous goods . The committee provides best practises governing the conveyance of hazardous materials and goods for land including road and railway ; air as well as sea transportation . These best practises are constantly updated to remain current and relevant . There are various other international bodies who provide greater detail and guidance for specific modes of transportation such as the International Maritime Organisation ( IMO ) by means of the International Maritime Code and the International Civil Aviation Organisation ( ICAO ) via the Technical Instructions for the safe transport of dangerous goods by air as well as the International Air Transport Association ( IATA ) who provides regulations for the transport of dangerous goods . These guidelines prescribed by the international authorities are applicable to the South African land , sea and air transportation of hazardous materials and goods . In addition to these rules and regulations to International best practice , South Africa has also implemented common laws which are laws based on custom and practise . Common laws are a vital part of maintaining public order and forms the basis of case laws . Case laws , using the principles of common law are interpretations and decisions of statutes made by courts . Acts of parliament are determinations and regulations by parliament which form the foundation of statutory law . Statutory laws are published in the government gazette or on the official website . Lastly , subordinate legislation are the bylaws issued by local authorities and authorised by parliament . Statutory law gives effect to the Occupational Health and Safety Act of 1993 and the National Road Traffic Act of 1996 . The Occupational Health and Safety Act details the necessary provisions for the safe handling and storage of hazardous materials and goods whilst the transport act details with the necessary provisions for the transportation of the hazardous goods . Relevant South African legislation includes the Occupational Health and Safety Act of 1993 , the National Road Traffic Act of 1996 , and the Standards Act of 2008 . There has been selective incorporation of aspects of the Globally Harmonised System ( GHS ) of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals into South African legislation . At each point of the chemical value chain , there is a responsibility to manage chemicals in a safe and responsible manner . SDS is therefore required by law . A SDS is included in the requirements of Occupational Health and Safety Act , 1993 ( Act No. 85 of 1993 ) Regulation 1179 dated 25 August 1995 . The categories of information supplied in the SDS are listed in SANS 11014 : 2010 ; dangerous goods standards -- Classification and information . SANS 11014 : 2010 supersedes the first edition SANS 11014 - 1 : 1994 and is an identical implementation of ISO 11014 : 2009 . According to SANS 11014 : 2010 : The Netherlands ( edit ) Dutch Safety Data Sheets are well known as veiligheidsinformatieblad nl : Veiligheidsinformatieblad or Chemiekaarten . This is a collection of Safety Data Sheets of the most widely used chemicals . The Chemiekaarten boek is commercially available , but also made available through educational institutes , such as the web site offered by the university of Groningen United kingdom ( edit ) In the U.K. , the Chemicals ( Hazard Information and Packaging for Supply ) Regulations 2002 - known as CHIP Regulations - impose duties upon suppliers , and importers into the EU , of hazardous materials . NOTE : Safety data sheets ( SDS ) are no longer covered by the CHIP regulations . The laws that require a SDS to be provided have been transferred to the European REACH Regulations . http://www.hse.gov.uk/chip/ The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health ( COSHH ) Regulations govern the use of hazardous substances in the workplace in the UK and specifically require an assessment of the use of a substance . Regulation 12 requires that an employer provides employees with information , instruction and training for people exposed to hazardous substances . This duty would be very nearly impossible without the data sheet as a starting point . It is important for employers therefore to insist on receiving a data sheet from a supplier of a substance . The duty to supply information is not confined to informing only business users of products . SDSs for retail products sold by large DIY shops are usually obtainable on those companies ' web sites . Web sites of manufacturers and large suppliers do not always include them even if the information is obtainable from retailers but written or telephone requests for paper copies will usually be responded to favourably . United Nations ( edit ) The United Nations ( UN ) defines certain details used in SDSs such as the UN numbers used to identify some hazardous materials in a standard form while in international transit ... United states ( edit ) In the U.S. , the Occupational Safety and Health Administration requires that SDSs be readily available to all employees for potentially harmful substances handled in the workplace under the Hazard Communication regulation . The SDS is also required to be made available to local fire departments and local and state emergency planning officials under Section 311 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right - to - Know Act . The American Chemical Society defines Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Numbers ( CAS numbers ) which provide a unique number for each chemical and are also used internationally in SDSs . Reviews of material safety data sheets by the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board have detected dangerous deficiencies . The board 's Combustible Dust Hazard Study analyzed 140 data sheets of substances capable of producing combustible dusts . None of the SDSs contained all the information the board said was needed to work with the material safely , and 41 percent failed to even mention that the substance was combustible . As part of its study of an explosion and fire that destroyed the Barton Solvents facility in Valley Center , Kansas , in 2007 , the safety board reviewed 62 material safety data sheets for commonly used nonconductive flammable liquids . As in the combustible dust study , the board found all the data sheets inadequate . In 2012 , the US adopted the 16 section Safety Data Sheet to replace Material Safety Data Sheets . This became effective on December 1 , 2013 . These new Safety Data Sheets comply with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals ( GHS ) . By June 1 , 2015 , employers were required to have their workplace labeling and hazard communication programs updated as necessary -- including all MSDSs replaced with SDS - formatted documents . SDS authoring ( edit ) Many companies offer the service of collecting , or writing and revising , data sheets to ensure they are up to date and available for their subscribers or users . Some jurisdictions impose an explicit duty of care that each SDS be regularly updated , usually every three to five years . However , when new information becomes available , the SDS must be revised without delay .

The club has won 5 European Cups , more than any other English club , 3 UEFA Cups , 3 UEFA Super Cups , 18 League titles , 7 FA Cups , 8 League Cups , and 15 FA Community Shields . Founded in 1892 , the club joined the Football League the following year and has played at Anfield since its formation . Liverpool established itself as a major force in English and European football in the 1970s and 1980s when Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley led the club to 11 League titles and seven European trophies . Under the management of Rafael Benítez and captained by Steven Gerrard , Liverpool became European champions for the fifth time in 2005 . Liverpool was the ninth highest - earning football club in the world in 2016 -- 17 , with an annual revenue of € 424.2 million , and the world 's eighth most valuable football club in 2018 , valued at $1.944 billion . The club is one of the best supported teams in the world . Liverpool has long - standing rivalries with Manchester United and Everton . The club 's supporters have been involved in two major tragedies : the Heysel Stadium disaster , where escaping fans were pressed against a collapsing wall at the 1985 European Cup Final in Brussels , with 39 people -- mostly Italians and Juventus fans -- dying , after which English clubs were given a five - year ban from European competition , and the Hillsborough disaster in 1989 , where 96 Liverpool supporters died in a crush against perimeter fencing . The team changed from red shirts and white shorts to an all - red home strip in 1964 which has been used ever since . The club 's anthem is `` You 'll Never Walk Alone '' .

Liverpool F.C. was founded following a dispute between the Everton committee and John Houlding , club president and owner of the land at Anfield . After eight years at the stadium , Everton relocated to Goodison Park in 1892 and Houlding founded Liverpool F.C. to play at Anfield . Originally named `` Everton F.C. and Athletic Grounds Ltd '' ( Everton Athletic for short ) , the club became Liverpool F.C. in March 1892 and gained official recognition three months later , after The Football Association refused to recognise the club as Everton . The team won the Lancashire League in its début season , and joined the Football League Second Division at the start of the 1893 -- 94 season . After finishing in first place the club was promoted to the First Division , which it won in 1901 and again in 1906 . Liverpool reached its first FA Cup Final in 1914 , losing 1 -- 0 to Burnley . It won consecutive League championships in 1922 and 1923 , but did not win another trophy until the 1946 -- 47 season , when the club won the First Division for a fifth time under the control of ex-West Ham Utd centre half George Kay . Liverpool suffered its second Cup Final defeat in 1950 , playing against Arsenal . The club was relegated to the Second Division in the 1953 -- 54 season . Soon after Liverpool lost 2 -- 1 to non-league Worcester City in the 1958 -- 59 FA Cup , Bill Shankly was appointed manager . Upon his arrival he released 24 players and converted a boot storage room at Anfield into a room where the coaches could discuss strategy ; here , Shankly and other `` Boot Room '' members Joe Fagan , Reuben Bennett , and Bob Paisley began reshaping the team . Statue of Bill Shankly outside Anfield . Shankly won promotion to the First Division and the club 's first league title since 1947 . The club was promoted back into the First Division in 1962 and won it in 1964 , for the first time in 17 years . In 1965 , the club won its first FA Cup . In 1966 , the club won the First Division but lost to Borussia Dortmund in the European Cup Winners ' Cup final . Liverpool won both the League and the UEFA Cup during the 1972 -- 73 season , and the FA Cup again a year later . Shankly retired soon afterwards and was replaced by his assistant , Bob Paisley . In 1976 , Paisley 's second season as manager , the club won another League and UEFA Cup double . The following season , the club retained the League title and won the European Cup for the first time , but it lost in the 1977 FA Cup Final . Liverpool retained the European Cup in 1978 and regained the First Division title in 1979 . During Paisley 's nine seasons as manager Liverpool won 21 trophies , including three European Cups , a UEFA Cup , six League titles and three consecutive League Cups ; the only domestic trophy he did not win was the FA Cup . Paisley retired in 1983 and was replaced by his assistant , Joe Fagan . Liverpool won the League , League Cup and European Cup in Fagan 's first season , becoming the first English side to win three trophies in a season . Liverpool reached the European Cup final again in 1985 , against Juventus at the Heysel Stadium . Before kick - off , Liverpool fans breached a fence which separated the two groups of supporters , and charged the Juventus fans . The resulting weight of people caused a retaining wall to collapse , killing 39 fans , mostly Italians . The incident became known as the Heysel Stadium disaster . The match was played in spite of protests by both managers , and Liverpool lost 1 -- 0 to Juventus . As a result of the tragedy , English clubs were banned from participating in European competition for five years ; Liverpool received a ten - year ban , which was later reduced to six years . Fourteen Liverpool fans received convictions for involuntary manslaughter . The Hillsborough memorial , which is engraved with the names of the 96 people who died in the Hillsborough disaster . Fagan had announced his retirement just before the disaster and Kenny Dalglish was appointed as player - manager . During his tenure , the club won another three league titles and two FA Cups , including a League and Cup `` Double '' in the 1985 -- 86 season . Liverpool 's success was overshadowed by the Hillsborough disaster : in an FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest on 15 April 1989 , hundreds of Liverpool fans were crushed against perimeter fencing . Ninety - four fans died that day ; the 95th victim died in hospital from his injuries four days later and the 96th died nearly four years later , without regaining consciousness . After the Hillsborough disaster there was a government review of stadium safety . The resulting Taylor Report paved the way for legislation that required top - division teams to have all - seater stadiums . The report ruled that the main reason for the disaster was overcrowding due to a failure of police control . Liverpool was involved in the closest finish to a league season during the 1988 -- 89 season . Liverpool finished equal with Arsenal on both points and goal difference , but lost the title on total goals scored when Arsenal scored the final goal in the last minute of the season . Dalglish cited the Hillsborough disaster and its repercussions as the reason for his resignation in 1991 ; he was replaced by former player Graeme Souness . Under his leadership Liverpool won the 1992 FA Cup Final , but their league performances slumped , with two consecutive sixth - place finishes , eventually resulting in his dismissal in January 1994 . Souness was replaced by Roy Evans , and Liverpool went on to win the 1995 Football League Cup Final . While they made some title challenges under Evans , third - place finishes in 1996 and 1998 were the best they could manage , and so Gérard Houllier was appointed co-manager in the 1998 -- 99 season , and became the sole manager in November 1998 after Evans resigned . In 2001 , Houllier 's second full season in charge , Liverpool won a `` Treble '' : the FA Cup , League Cup and UEFA Cup . Houllier underwent major heart surgery during the 2001 -- 02 season and Liverpool finished second in the League , behind Arsenal . They won a further League Cup in 2003 , but failed to mount a title challenge in the two seasons that followed . The European Cup trophy won by Liverpool for a fifth time in 2005 Houllier was replaced by Rafael Benítez at the end of the 2003 -- 04 season . Despite finishing fifth in Benítez 's first season , Liverpool won the 2004 -- 05 UEFA Champions League , beating A.C. Milan 3 -- 2 in a penalty shootout after the match ended with a score of 3 -- 3 . The following season , Liverpool finished third in the Premier League and won the 2006 FA Cup Final , beating West Ham United in a penalty shootout after the match finished 3 -- 3 . American businessmen George Gillett and Tom Hicks became the owners of the club during the 2006 -- 07 season , in a deal which valued the club and its outstanding debts at £ 218.9 million . The club reached the 2007 UEFA Champions League Final against Milan , as it had in 2005 , but lost 2 -- 1 . During the 2008 -- 09 season Liverpool achieved 86 points , its highest Premier League points total , and finished as runners up to Manchester United . In the 2009 -- 10 season , Liverpool finished seventh in the Premier League and failed to qualify for the Champions League . Benítez subsequently left by mutual consent and was replaced by Fulham manager Roy Hodgson . At the start of the 2010 -- 11 season Liverpool was on the verge of bankruptcy and the club 's creditors asked the High Court to allow the sale of the club , overruling the wishes of Hicks and Gillett . John W. Henry , owner of the Boston Red Sox and of Fenway Sports Group , bid successfully for the club and took ownership in October 2010 . Poor results during the start of that season led to Hodgson leaving the club by mutual consent and former player and manager Kenny Dalglish taking over . In the 2011 -- 12 season , Liverpool secured a record 8th League Cup success and reached the FA Cup final , but finished in eighth position , the worst league finish in 18 years ; this led to the sacking of Dalglish . He was replaced by Brendan Rodgers , whose Liverpool team in the 2013 -- 14 season mounted an unexpected title charge to finish second behind champions Manchester City and subsequently return to the Champions League , scoring 101 goals in the process , the most since the 106 scored in the 1895 -- 96 season . Following a disappointing 2014 -- 15 season , where Liverpool finished sixth in the league , and a poor start to the following campaign , Rodgers was sacked in October 2015 . He was replaced by Jürgen Klopp , who in his first season at Liverpool , took the club to the finals of both the Football League Cup and UEFA Europa League , finishing as runner - up in both competitions . Colours and badge Liverpool 's home colours worn from 1892 to 1896 For much of Liverpool 's history its home colours have been all red , but when the club was founded its kit was more like the contemporary Everton kit . The blue and white quartered shirts were used until 1894 , when the club adopted the city 's colour of red . The city 's symbol of the liver bird was adopted as the club 's badge in 1901 , although it was not incorporated into the kit until 1955 . Liverpool continued to wear red shirts and white shorts until 1964 , when manager Bill Shankly decided to change to an all red strip . Liverpool played in all red for the first time against Anderlecht , as Ian St. John recalled in his autobiography : He ( Shankly ) thought the colour scheme would carry psychological impact -- red for danger , red for power . He came into the dressing room one day and threw a pair of red shorts to Ronnie Yeats . `` Get into those shorts and let 's see how you look '' , he said . `` Christ , Ronnie , you look awesome , terrifying . You look 7 ft tall . '' `` Why not go the whole hog , boss ? '' I suggested . `` Why not wear red socks ? Let 's go out all in red . '' Shankly approved and an iconic kit was born . The Liverpool away strip has more often than not been all yellow or white shirts and black shorts , but there have been several exceptions . An all grey kit was introduced in 1987 , which was used until the 1991 -- 92 centenary season , when it was replaced by a combination of green shirts and white shorts . After various colour combinations in the 1990s , including gold and navy , bright yellow , black and grey , and ecru , the club alternated between yellow and white away kits until the 2008 -- 09 season , when it re-introduced the grey kit . A third kit is designed for European away matches , though it is also worn in domestic away matches on occasions when the current away kit clashes with a team 's home kit . Between 2012 -- 15 , the kits were designed by Warrior Sports , who became the club 's kit providers at the start of the 2012 -- 13 season . In February 2015 , Warrior 's parent company New Balance announced it would be entering the global football market , with teams sponsored by Warrior now being outfitted by New Balance . The only other branded shirts worn by the club were made by Umbro until 1985 , when they were replaced by Adidas , who produced the kits until 1996 when Reebok took over . They produced the kits for 10 years before Adidas made the kits from 2006 to 2012 . A version of Liverpool 's Crest as depicted on the Shankly Gates Liverpool was the first English professional club to have a sponsor 's logo on its shirts , after agreeing a deal with Hitachi in 1979 . Since then the club has been sponsored by Crown Paints , Candy , Carlsberg and Standard Chartered Bank . The contract with Carlsberg , which was signed in 1992 , was the longest - lasting agreement in English top - flight football . The association with Carlsberg ended at the start of the 2010 -- 11 season , when Standard Chartered Bank became the club 's sponsor . The Liverpool badge is based on the city 's liver bird , which in the past had been placed inside a shield . In 1992 , to commemorate the centennial of the club , a new badge was commissioned , including a representation of the Shankly Gates . The next year twin flames were added at either side , symbolic of the Hillsborough memorial outside Anfield , where an eternal flame burns in memory of those who died in the Hillsborough disaster . In 2012 , Warrior Sports ' first Liverpool kit removed the shield and gates , returning the badge to what had adorned Liverpool shirts in the 1970s ; the flames were moved to the back collar of the shirt , surrounding the number 96 for the number who died at Hillsborough . Stadium Main article : Anfield For information on Liverpool 's abandoned proposed new stadium , see Stanley Park Stadium . Anfield , home of Liverpool F.C. Anfield was built in 1884 on land adjacent to Stanley Park . It was originally used by Everton before the club moved to Goodison Park after a dispute over rent with Anfield owner John Houlding . Left with an empty ground , Houlding founded Liverpool in 1892 and the club has played at Anfield ever since . The capacity of the stadium at the time was 20,000 , although only 100 spectators attended Liverpool 's first match at Anfield . The Kop was built in 1906 due to the high turnout for matches and was called the Oakfield Road Embankment initially . Its first game was on 1 September 1906 when the home side beat Stoke City 1 -- 0 . In 1906 the banked stand at one end of the ground was formally renamed the Spion Kop after a hill in KwaZulu - Natal . The hill was the site of the Battle of Spion Kop in the Second Boer War , where over 300 men of the Lancashire Regiment died , many of them from Liverpool . At its peak , the stand could hold 28,000 spectators and was one of the largest single - tier stands in the world . Many stadia in England had stands named after Spion Kop , but Anfield 's was the largest of them at the time ; it could hold more supporters than some entire football grounds . Anfield could accommodate more than 60,000 supporters at its peak , and had a capacity of 55,000 until the 1990s . The Taylor Report and Premier League regulations obliged Liverpool to convert Anfield to an all - seater stadium in time for the 1993 -- 94 season , reducing the capacity to 45,276 . The findings of the Taylor Report precipitated the redevelopment of the Kemlyn Road Stand , which was rebuilt in 1992 , coinciding with the centenary of the club , and was known as the Centenary Stand until 2017 when it was renamed the Kenny Dalglish Stand . An extra tier was added to the Anfield Road end in 1998 , which further increased the capacity of the ground but gave rise to problems when it was opened . A series of support poles and stanchions were inserted to give extra stability to the top tier of the stand after movement of the tier was reported at the start of the 1999 -- 2000 season . Because of restrictions on expanding the capacity at Anfield , Liverpool announced plans to move to the proposed Stanley Park Stadium in May 2002 . Planning permission was granted in July 2004 , and in September 2006 , Liverpool City Council agreed to grant Liverpool a 999 - year lease on the proposed site . Following the takeover of the club by George Gillett and Tom Hicks in February 2007 , the proposed stadium was redesigned . The new design was approved by the Council in November 2007 . The stadium was scheduled to open in August 2011 and would hold 60,000 spectators , with HKS , Inc. contracted to build the stadium . Construction was halted in August 2008 , as Gillett and Hicks had difficulty in financing the £ 300 million needed for the development . In October 2012 , BBC Sport reported that Fenway Sports Group , the new owners of Liverpool FC , had decided to redevelop their current home at Anfield stadium , rather than building a new stadium in Stanley Park . As part of the redevelopment the capacity of Anfield was to increase from 45,276 to approximately 60,000 and would cost approximately £ 150m . When construction was completed on the new Main stand the capacity of Anfield was increased to 54,074 . This £ 100 million expansion added a third tier to the stand . This was all part of a £ 260 million project to improve the Anfield area . Jurgen Klopp the manager at the time described the stand as `` impressive . '' Support Kopites in The Kop Stand Liverpool is one of the best supported clubs in the world . The club states that its worldwide fan base includes more than 200 officially recognised Club of the LFC Official Supporters Clubs in at least 50 countries . Notable groups include Spirit of Shankly . The club takes advantage of this support through its worldwide summer tours , which has included playing in front of 101,000 in Michigan , U.S. , and 95,000 in Melbourne , Australia . Liverpool fans often refer to themselves as Kopites , a reference to the fans who once stood , and now sit , on the Kop at Anfield . In 2008 a group of fans decided to form a splinter club , A.F.C. Liverpool , to play matches for fans who had been priced out of watching Premier League football . The song `` You 'll Never Walk Alone '' , originally from the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical Carousel and later recorded by Liverpool musicians Gerry and the Pacemakers , is the club 's anthem and has been sung by the Anfield crowd since the early 1960s . It has since gained popularity among fans of other clubs around the world . The song 's title adorns the top of the Shankly Gates , which were unveiled on 2 August 1982 in memory of former manager Bill Shankly . The `` You 'll Never Walk Alone '' portion of the Shankly Gates is also reproduced on the club 's crest . The Shankly Gates , erected in honour of former manager Bill Shankly The club 's supporters have been involved in two stadium disasters . The first was the 1985 Heysel Stadium disaster , in which 39 Juventus supporters were killed . They were confined to a corner by Liverpool fans who had charged in their direction ; the weight of the cornered fans caused a wall to collapse . UEFA laid the blame for the incident solely on the Liverpool supporters , and banned all English clubs from European competition for five years . Liverpool was banned for an additional year , preventing it from participating in the 1990 -- 91 European Cup , even though it won the League in 1990 . Twenty - seven fans were arrested on suspicion of manslaughter and were extradited to Belgium in 1987 to face trial . In 1989 , after a five - month trial in Belgium , 14 Liverpool fans were given three - year sentences for involuntary manslaughter ; half of the terms were suspended . The second disaster took place during an FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest at Hillsborough Stadium , Sheffield , on 15 April 1989 . Ninety - six Liverpool fans died as a consequence of overcrowding at the Leppings Lane end , in what became known as the Hillsborough disaster . In the following days The Sun newspaper published an article entitled `` The Truth '' , in which it claimed that Liverpool fans had robbed the dead and had urinated on and attacked the police . Subsequent investigations proved the allegations false , leading to a boycott of the newspaper by Liverpool fans across the city and elsewhere ; many still refuse to buy The Sun more than 20 years later . Many support organisations were set up in the wake of the disaster , such as the Hillsborough Justice Campaign , which represents bereaved families , survivors and supporters in their efforts to secure justice . Rivalries Main articles : Merseyside derby and Liverpool F.C. -- Manchester United F.C. rivalry The Merseyside derby at Anfield in 2006 Liverpool 's longest - established rivalry is with fellow Liverpool team Everton , against whom they contest the Merseyside derby . The rivalry stems from Liverpool 's formation and the dispute with Everton officials and the then owners of Anfield . The Merseyside derby is one of the few local derbies which do not enforce fan segregation , and hence has been known as the `` friendly derby '' . Since the mid-1980s , the rivalry has intensified both on and off the field and , since the inception of the Premier League in 1992 , the Merseyside derby has had more players sent off than any other Premier League game . It has been referred to as `` the most ill - disciplined and explosive fixture in the Premier League '' . Liverpool 's rivalry with Manchester United stems from the cities ' competition in the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century . The two clubs alternated as champions between 1964 and 1967 , and Manchester United became the first English team to win the European Cup in 1968 , followed by Liverpool 's four European Cup victories . Despite the 38 league titles and eight European Cups between them the two rivals have rarely been successful at the same time -- Liverpool 's run of titles in the 1970s and 1980s coincided with Manchester United 's 26 - year title drought , and United 's success in the Premier League - era has likewise coincided with Liverpool 's ongoing drought , and the two clubs have finished first and second in the league only five times . Nonetheless , former Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson said in 2002 , `` My greatest challenge was knocking Liverpool right off their fucking perch '' , and the last player to be transferred between the two clubs was Phil Chisnall , who moved to Liverpool from Manchester United in 1964 . Ownership and finances John W. Henry of Fenway Sports Group , the parent company of Liverpool As the owner of Anfield and founder of Liverpool , John Houlding was the club 's first chairman , a position he held from its founding in 1892 until 1904 . John McKenna took over as chairman after Houlding 's departure . McKenna subsequently became President of the Football League . The chairmanship changed hands many times before John Smith , whose father was a shareholder of the club , took up the role in 1973 . He oversaw the most successful period in Liverpool 's history before stepping down in 1990 . His successor was Noel White who became chairman in 1990 . In August 1991 David Moores , whose family had owned the club for more than 50 years became chairman . His uncle John Moores was also a shareholder at Liverpool and was chairman of Everton from 1961 to 1973 . Moores owned 51 percent of the club , and in 2004 expressed his willingness to consider a bid for his shares in Liverpool . Moores eventually sold the club to American businessmen George Gillett and Tom Hicks on 6 February 2007 . The deal valued the club and its outstanding debts at £ 218.9 million . The pair paid £ 5,000 per share , or £ 174.1 m for the total shareholding and £ 44.8 m to cover the club 's debts . Disagreements between Gillett and Hicks , and the fans ' lack of support for them , resulted in the pair looking to sell the club . Martin Broughton was appointed chairman of the club on 16 April 2010 to oversee its sale . In May 2010 , accounts were released showing the holding company of the club to be £ 350m in debt ( due to leveraged takeover ) with losses of £ 55m , causing auditor KPMG to qualify its audit opinion . The group 's creditors , including the Royal Bank of Scotland , took Gillett and Hicks to court to force them to allow the board to proceed with the sale of the club , the major asset of the holding company . A High Court judge , Mr Justice Floyd , ruled in favour of the creditors and paved the way for the sale of the club to Fenway Sports Group ( formerly New England Sports Ventures ) , although Gillett and Hicks still had the option to appeal . Liverpool was sold to Fenway Sports Group on 15 October 2010 for £ 300m . Liverpool has been described as a global brand ; a 2010 report valued the club 's trademarks and associated intellectual property at £ 141m , an increase of £ 5m on the previous year . Liverpool was given a brand rating of AA ( Very Strong ) . In April 2010 business magazine Forbes ranked Liverpool as the sixth most valuable football team in the world , behind Manchester United , Real Madrid , Arsenal , Barcelona and Bayern Munich ; they valued the club at $822 m ( £ 532m ) , excluding debt . Accountants Deloitte ranked Liverpool eighth in the Deloitte Football Money League , which ranks the world 's football clubs in terms of revenue . Liverpool 's income in the 2009 -- 10 season was € 225.3 m . Liverpool in popular culture Because of its successful history , Liverpool is often featured when football is depicted in British culture and has appeared in a number of media firsts . The club appeared in the first edition of the BBC 's Match of the Day , which screened highlights of its match against Arsenal at Anfield on 22 August 1964 . The first football match to be televised in colour was between Liverpool and West Ham United , broadcast live in March 1967 . Liverpool fans featured in the Pink Floyd song `` Fearless '' , in which they sang excerpts from `` You 'll Never Walk Alone '' . To mark the club 's appearance in the 1988 FA Cup Final , Liverpool released a song known as the `` Anfield Rap '' , featuring John Barnes and other members of the squad . A documentary drama on the Hillsborough disaster , written by Jimmy McGovern , was screened in 1996 . It featured Christopher Eccleston as Trevor Hicks , whose story is the focus of the script . Hicks , who lost two teenage daughters in the disaster , went on to campaign for safer stadiums and helped to form the Hillsborough Families Support Group . Liverpool featured in the film The 51st State ( also known as Formula 51 ) , in which ex-hitman Felix DeSouza ( Robert Carlyle ) is a keen supporter of the team and the last scene takes place at a match between Liverpool and Manchester United . The club was featured in a children 's television show called Scully ; the plot revolved around a young boy , Francis Scully , who tried to gain a trial match with Liverpool . The show featured prominent Liverpool players of the time such as Kenny Dalglish .

Harris Production company Paramount Pictures 20th Century Fox Lightstorm Entertainment Distributed by Paramount Pictures ( North America ) 20th Century Fox ( International ) Release date November 1 , 1997 ( 1997 - 11 - 01 ) ( Tokyo ) December 19 , 1997 ( 1997 - 12 - 19 ) ( United States ) Running time 195 minutes Country United States Language English Budget $200 million Box office $2.187 billion Titanic is a 1997 American epic romance - disaster film directed , written , co-produced and co-edited by James Cameron . A fictionalized account of the sinking of the RMS Titanic , it stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet as members of different social classes who fall in love aboard the ship during its ill - fated maiden voyage . Cameron 's inspiration for the film came from his fascination with shipwrecks ; he felt a love story interspersed with the human loss would be essential to convey the emotional impact of the disaster . Production began in 1995 , when Cameron shot footage of the actual Titanic wreck . The modern scenes on the research vessel were shot on board the Akademik Mstislav Keldysh , which Cameron had used as a base when filming the wreck . Scale models , computer - generated imagery , and a reconstruction of the Titanic built at Baja Studios , at Playas de Rosarito in Baja California were used to re-create the sinking . The film was partially funded by Paramount Pictures and 20th Century Fox . It was the most expensive film ever made at the time , with a production budget of $200 million . Upon its release on December 19 , 1997 , Titanic achieved critical and commercial success . Nominated for 14 Academy Awards , it tied All About Eve ( 1950 ) for the most Oscar nominations , and won 11 , including the awards for Best Picture and Best Director , tying Ben - Hur ( 1959 ) for the most Oscars won by a single film . With an initial worldwide gross of over $1.84 billion , Titanic was the first film to reach the billion - dollar mark . It remained the highest - grossing film of all time until Cameron 's Avatar surpassed it in 2010 . A 3D version of Titanic , released on April 4 , 2012 to commemorate the centennial of the sinking , earned it an additional $343.6 million worldwide , pushing the film 's worldwide total to $2.18 billion and making it the second film to gross more than $2 billion worldwide ( after Avatar ) . In 2017 , the film was re-released for its 20th anniversary and was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry .

They recover a safe containing a drawing of a young woman wearing only the necklace dated April 14 , 1912 , the day the ship struck the iceberg . Rose Dawson Calvert , the woman in the drawing , is brought aboard Keldysh and tells Lovett of her experiences aboard Titanic . In 1912 Southampton , 17 - year - old first - class passenger Rose DeWitt Bukater , her fiancé Cal Hockley , and her mother Ruth board the luxurious Titanic . Ruth emphasizes that Rose 's marriage will resolve their family 's financial problems and retain their high - class persona . Distraught over the engagement , Rose considers suicide by jumping from the stern ; Jack Dawson , a penniless artist , intervenes and discourages her . Discovered with Jack , Rose tells a concerned Cal that she was peering over the edge and Jack saved her from falling . When Cal becomes indifferent , she suggests to him that Jack deserves a reward . He invites Jack to dine with them in first class the following night . Jack and Rose develop a tentative friendship , despite Cal and Ruth being wary of him . Following dinner , Rose secretly joins Jack at a party in third class . Aware of Cal and Ruth 's disapproval , Rose rebuffs Jack 's advances , but realizes she prefers him over Cal . After rendezvousing on the bow at sunset , Rose takes Jack to her state room ; at her request , Jack sketches Rose posing nude wearing Cal 's engagement present , the Heart of the Ocean necklace . They evade Cal 's bodyguard , Mr. Lovejoy , and have sex in an automobile inside the cargo hold . On the forward deck , they witness a collision with an iceberg and overhear the officers and designer discussing its seriousness . Cal discovers Jack 's sketch of Rose and an insulting note from her in his safe along with the necklace . When Jack and Rose attempt to inform Cal of the collision , Lovejoy slips the necklace into Jack 's pocket and he and Cal accuse him of theft . Jack is arrested , taken to the master - at - arms ' office , and handcuffed to a pipe . Cal puts the necklace in his own coat pocket . With the ship sinking , Rose flees Cal and her mother , who has boarded a lifeboat , and frees Jack . On the boat deck , Cal and Jack encourage her to board a lifeboat ; Cal claims he can get himself and Jack off safely . After Rose boards one , Cal tells Jack the arrangement is only for himself . As her boat lowers , Rose decides that she can not leave Jack and jumps back on board . Cal takes his bodyguard 's pistol and chases Rose and Jack into the flooding first - class dining saloon . After using up his ammunition , Cal realizes he gave his coat and consequently the necklace to Rose . He later boards a collapsible lifeboat by carrying a lost child . After braving several obstacles , Jack and Rose return to the boat deck . The lifeboats have departed and passengers are falling to their deaths as the stern rises out of the water . The ship breaks in half , lifting the stern into the air . Jack and Rose ride it into the ocean and he helps her onto a wooden panel buoyant enough for only one person . He assures her that she will die an old woman , warm in her bed . Jack dies of hypothermia but Rose is saved . With Rose hiding from Cal en route , the RMS Carpathia takes the survivors to New York City where Rose gives her name as Rose Dawson . Rose says she later read that Cal committed suicide after losing all his money in the Wall Street Crash of 1929 . Back in the present , Lovett decides to abandon his search after hearing Rose 's story . Alone on the stern of Keldysh , Rose takes out the Heart of the Ocean -- in her possession all along -- and drops it into the sea over the wreck site . While she is seemingly asleep or has died in her bed , photos on her dresser depict a life of freedom and adventure inspired by the life she wanted to live with Jack . A young Rose reunites with Jack at the Titanic 's Grand Staircase , applauded by those who died . Cast Fictional characters Leonardo DiCaprio ( top , pictured in 2014 ) , who portrayed Jack Dawson , and Kate Winslet ( pictured in 2011 ) , who portrayed Rose DeWitt Bukater . Leonardo DiCaprio as Jack Dawson : Cameron said he needed the cast to feel as though they were really on the Titanic , to relive its liveliness , and `` to take that energy and give it to Jack , ( ... ) an artist who is able to have his heart soar '' . Jack is portrayed as an itinerant , poor orphan from Chippewa Falls , Wisconsin , who has toured numerous places in the world , including Paris . He wins two tickets onto the RMS Titanic in a poker game and travels as a third - class passenger with his friend Fabrizio . He is attracted to Rose at first sight and meets her when she contemplates throwing herself off the stern of the ship . Her fiancé 's `` reward '' , an invitation to dine with them the next evening , enables Jack to mix with the first - class passengers for a night . When casting the role , various established actors , including Matthew McConaughey , Chris O'Donnell , Billy Crudup , and Stephen Dorff , were considered , but Cameron felt that a few of the actors were too old for the part of a 20 - year - old . Tom Cruise was interested in portraying the character , but his asking price was too much for the studio to consider . Cameron considered Jared Leto for the role , but Leto refused to audition . DiCaprio , 21 years old at the time , was brought to Cameron 's attention by casting director Mali Finn . Initially , he did not want to portray the character and refused to read his first romantic scene on the set ( see below ) . Cameron said , `` He read it once , then started goofing around , and I could never get him to focus on it again . But for one split second , a shaft of light came down from the heavens and lit up the forest . '' Cameron strongly believed in DiCaprio 's acting ability and told him , `` Look , I 'm not going to make this guy brooding and neurotic . I 'm not going to give him a tic and a limp and all the things you want . '' Cameron rather envisioned the character as a James Stewart type . Although Jack Dawson was a fictional character , in Fairview Cemetery in Halifax , Nova Scotia , where 121 victims are buried , there is a grave labeled `` J. Dawson '' . The real J. Dawson was Joseph Dawson , who shoveled coal in the bowels of the ship . `` It was n't until after the movie came out that we found out that there was a J. Dawson gravestone , '' said the film 's producer , Jon Landau , in an interview . Kate Winslet as Rose DeWitt Bukater : Cameron said Winslet `` had the thing that you look for '' and that there was `` a quality in her face , in her eyes , '' that he `` just knew people would be ready to go the distance with her '' . Rose is a 17 - year - old girl , originally from Philadelphia , who is forced into an engagement to 30 - year - old Cal Hockley so she and her mother , Ruth , can maintain their high - class status after her father 's death had left the family debt - ridden . Rose boards the RMS Titanic with Cal and Ruth , as a first - class passenger , and meets Jack . Winslet said of her character , `` She has got a lot to give , and she 's got a very open heart . And she wants to explore and adventure the world , but she ( feels ) that 's not going to happen . '' Gwyneth Paltrow , Winona Ryder , Claire Danes , Gabrielle Anwar , and Reese Witherspoon had been considered for the role . When they turned it down , 20 - year - old Winslet campaigned heavily for the role . She sent Cameron daily notes from England , which led Cameron to invite her to Hollywood for auditions . As with DiCaprio , casting director Mali Finn originally brought her to Cameron 's attention . When looking for a Rose , Cameron described the character as `` an Audrey Hepburn type '' and was initially uncertain about casting Winslet even after her screen test impressed him . After she screen tested with DiCaprio , Winslet was so thoroughly impressed with him , that she whispered to Cameron , `` He 's great . Even if you do n't pick me , pick him . '' Winslet sent Cameron a single rose with a card signed , `` From Your Rose '' , and lobbied him by phone . `` You do n't understand ! '' she pleaded one day when she reached him by mobile phone in his Humvee . `` I am Rose ! I do n't know why you 're even seeing anyone else ! '' Her persistence , as well as her talent , eventually convinced him to cast her in the role . Billy Zane as Cal Hockley : Cal is Rose 's 30 - year - old fiancé . He is arrogant and snobbish , and the heir to a Pittsburgh steel fortune . He becomes increasingly embarrassed by , jealous of , and cruel about Rose 's relationship with Jack . The part was originally offered to Matthew McConaughey , and Rob Lowe has also gone on the record as having pursued it . Frances Fisher as Ruth DeWitt Bukater : Rose 's widowed mother , who arranges her daughter 's engagement to Cal to maintain her family 's high - society status . She loves her daughter but believes that social position is more important than having a loving marriage . She scorns Jack , even though he saved her daughter 's life . Gloria Stuart as Rose Dawson Calvert : Rose narrates the film in a modern - day framing device . Cameron stated , `` In order to see the present and the past , I decided to create a fictional survivor who is ( close to ) 101 years , and she connects us in a way through history . '' The 100 - year - old Rose gives Lovett information regarding the `` Heart of the Ocean '' after he discovers a nude drawing of her in the wreck . She tells the story of her time aboard the ship , mentioning Jack for the first time since the sinking . At 87 , Stuart had to be made up to look older for the role . Of casting Stuart , Cameron stated , `` My casting director found her . She was sent out on a mission to find retired actresses from the Golden Age of the thirties and forties . '' Cameron said that he did not know who Stuart was , and Fay Wray was also considered for the role . `` But ( Stuart ) was just so into it , and so lucid , and had such a great spirit . And I saw the connection between her spirit and ( Winslet 's ) spirit , '' stated Cameron . `` I saw this joie de vivre in both of them , that I thought the audience would be able to make that cognitive leap that it 's the same person . '' Stuart died on September 26 , 2010 , at age 100 , approximately the same age elder Rose was in the film . Bill Paxton as Brock Lovett : A treasure hunter looking for the `` Heart of the Ocean '' in the wreck of the Titanic in the present . Time and funding for his expedition are running out . He later reflects at the film 's conclusion that , despite thinking about Titanic for three years , he has never understood it until he hears Rose 's story . Suzy Amis as Lizzy Calvert : Rose 's granddaughter , who accompanies her when she visits Lovett on the ship and learns her grandmother 's true identity and romantic past with Jack Dawson . Danny Nucci as Fabrizio De Rossi : Jack 's Italian best friend , who boards the RMS Titanic with him after Jack wins two tickets in a poker game . Fabrizio does not board a lifeboat when the Titanic sinks and is killed when one of the ship 's funnels breaks and crashes into the water . David Warner as Spicer Lovejoy : An ex-Pinkerton constable , Lovejoy is Cal 's English valet and bodyguard , who keeps an eye on Rose and is suspicious about the circumstances surrounding Jack 's rescue of her . He dies when the Titanic splits in half , causing him to fall into a massive opening . Warner had appeared in the 1979 TV miniseries S.O.S. Titanic . Jason Barry as Thomas `` Tommy '' Ryan : An Irish third - class passenger who befriends Jack and Fabrizio . Tommy is killed when he is accidentally pushed forward and shot by a panicked First Officer Murdoch . Historical characters Although not intended to be an entirely accurate depiction of events , the film includes portrayals of several historical figures : The real Margaret Brown ( right ) giving Captain Arthur Henry Rostron an award for his service in the rescue of Titanic 's surviving passengers . Kathy Bates as Margaret `` Molly '' Brown : Brown is looked down upon by other first - class women , including Ruth , as `` vulgar '' and `` new money '' . She is friendly to Jack and lends him a tuxedo ( bought for her son ) when he is invited to dinner in the first - class dining saloon . Despite Brown being a real person , Cameron decided not to portray her real - life actions . Molly Brown was dubbed `` The Unsinkable Molly Brown '' by historians because she , with the support of other women , commandeered Lifeboat 6 from Quartermaster Robert Hichens . Some aspects of this altercation are portrayed in Cameron 's film . Victor Garber as Thomas Andrews : The ship 's builder , Andrews is portrayed as a very kind and pleasant man who is modest about his grand achievement . After the collision , he tries to convince the others , particularly Ismay , that it is a `` mathematical certainty '' that the ship will sink . He is depicted during the sinking of the ship as standing next to the clock in the first - class smoking room , lamenting his failure to build a strong and safe ship . Although this has become one of the most famous legends of the sinking of the Titanic , this story , which was published in a 1912 book ( Thomas Andrews : Shipbuilder ) and therefore perpetuated , came from John Stewart , a steward on the ship who in fact left the ship in boat no. 15 at approximately 1 : 40 a.m. There were testimonies of sightings of Andrews after that moment . It appears that Andrews stayed in the smoking room for some time to gather his thoughts , then he continued assisting with the evacuation . Another reported sighting was of Andrews frantically throwing deck chairs into the ocean for passengers to use as floating devices . Andrews was last seen leaving the ship at the last moment . Bernard Hill as Captain Edward John Smith : Smith planned to make the Titanic his final voyage before retiring . He retreats into the wheelhouse on the bridge as the ship sinks , dying when the windows implode from the water whilst he clings to the ship 's wheel . There are conflicting accounts as to whether he died in this manner or later froze to death in the water near the capsized collapsible lifeboat `` B '' . Jonathan Hyde as J. Bruce Ismay : Ismay is portrayed as a rich , ignorant upper - class man . In the film , he uses his position as White Star Line managing director to influence Captain Smith to go faster with the prospect of an earlier arrival in New York and favorable press attention ; while this action appears in popular portrayals of the disaster , it is unsupported by evidence . After the collision , he struggles to comprehend that his `` unsinkable '' ship is doomed . Ismay later boards Collapsible C ( one of the last lifeboats to leave the ship ) just before it is lowered . He was branded a coward by the press and public for surviving the disaster while many women and children had drowned . Eric Braeden as John Jacob Astor IV : A first - class passenger whom Rose ( correctly ) calls the richest man on the ship . The film depicts Astor and his 18 - year - old wife Madeleine ( Charlotte Chatton ) as being introduced to Jack by Rose in the first - class dining saloon . During the introduction , Astor asks if Jack is connected to the `` Boston Dawsons '' , a question Jack neatly deflects by saying that he is instead affiliated with the Chippewa Falls Dawsons . Astor is last seen as the Grand Staircase glass dome implodes and water surges in . Bernard Fox as Colonel Archibald Gracie IV : The film depicts Gracie making a comment to Cal that `` women and machinery do n't mix '' , and congratulating Jack for saving Rose from falling off the ship , though he is unaware that it was a suicide attempt . Fox had portrayed Frederick Fleet in the 1958 film A Night to Remember . Michael Ensign as Benjamin Guggenheim : A mining magnate traveling in first - class . He shows off his French mistress Madame Aubert ( Fannie Brett ) to his fellow passengers while his wife and three daughters wait for him at home . When Jack joins the other first - class passengers for dinner after his rescue of Rose , Guggenheim refers to him as a `` bohemian '' . He is seen in the flooding Grand Staircase during the sinking , saying he is prepared to go down as a gentleman . Jonathan Evans - Jones as Wallace Hartley : The ship 's bandmaster and violinist who plays uplifting music with his colleagues on the boat deck as the ship sinks . As the final plunge begins , he leads the band in a final performance of Nearer , My God , to Thee , to the tune of Bethany , and dies in the sinking . Mark Lindsay Chapman as Chief Officer Henry Wilde : The ship 's chief officer , who lets Cal on board a lifeboat because he has a child in his arms . Before he dies , he tries to get the boats to return to the sinking site to rescue passengers by blowing his whistle . After he freezes to death , Rose uses his whistle to attract the attention of Fifth Officer Lowe , which leads to her rescue . Ewan Stewart as First Officer William Murdoch : The officer who is put in charge of the bridge on the night the ship struck the iceberg . During a rush for the lifeboats , Murdoch shoots Tommy Ryan as well as another passenger in a momentary panic , then commits suicide out of guilt . When Murdoch 's nephew Scott saw the film , he objected to his uncle 's portrayal as damaging to Murdoch 's heroic reputation . A few months later , Fox vice-president Scott Neeson went to Dalbeattie , Scotland , where Murdoch lived , to deliver a personal apology , and also presented a £ 5000 donation to Dalbeattie High School to boost the school 's William Murdoch Memorial Prize . Cameron apologized on the DVD commentary , but stated that there were officers who fired gunshots to enforce the `` women and children first '' policy . According to Cameron , his depiction of Murdoch is that of an `` honorable man , '' not of a man `` gone bad '' or of a `` cowardly murderer . '' He added , `` I 'm not sure you 'd find that same sense of responsibility and total devotion to duty today . This guy had half of his lifeboats launched before his counterpart on the port side had even launched one . That says something about character and heroism . '' Jonathan Phillips as Second Officer Charles Lightoller . The film depicts Lightoller informing Captain Smith that it will be difficult to see icebergs without breaking water . He is seen brandishing a gun and threatening to use it to keep order . He can be seen on top of Collapsible B when the first funnel collapses . Lightoller was the most senior officer to have survived the disaster . Simon Crane as Fourth Officer Joseph Boxhall : The officer in charge of firing flares and manning Lifeboat 2 during the sinking . He is shown on the bridge wings helping the seamen firing the flares . Ioan Gruffudd as Fifth Officer Harold Lowe : The ship 's only officer to lead a lifeboat to retrieve survivors of the sinking from the icy waters . The film depicts Lowe rescuing Rose . Edward Fletcher as Sixth Officer James Moody : The ship 's only junior officer to have died in the sinking . The film depicts Moody admitting Jack and Fabrizio onto the ship only moments before it departs from Southampton . Moody is later shown following Mr. Murdoch 's orders to put the ship to full speed ahead , and informs First Officer Murdoch about the iceberg . He is last seen clinging to one of the davits on the starboard side after having unsuccessfully attempted to launch collapsible A . James Lancaster as Father Thomas Byles : Second - class passenger Father Byles , a Catholic priest from England , is portrayed praying and consoling passengers during the ship 's final moments . Lew Palter and Elsa Raven as Isidor Straus and Ida Straus : Isidor is a former owner of R.H. Macy and Company , a former congressman from New York , and a member of the New York and New Jersey Bridge Commission . During the sinking , his wife Ida is offered a place in a lifeboat , but refuses , saying that she will honor her wedding pledge by staying with Isidor . They are last seen lying on their bed embracing each other as water fills their stateroom . Martin Jarvis as Sir Cosmo Duff - Gordon : A Scottish baronet who is rescued in Lifeboat 1 . Lifeboats 1 and 2 were emergency boats with a capacity of 40 . Situated at the forward end of the boat deck , these were kept ready to launch in case of a person falling overboard . On the night of the disaster , Lifeboat 1 was the fourth to be launched , with 12 people aboard , including Duff - Gordon , his wife and her secretary . The baronet was much criticized for his conduct during the incident . It was suggested that he had boarded the emergency boat in violation of the `` women and children first '' policy and that the boat had failed to return to rescue those struggling in the water . He offered five pounds to each of the lifeboat 's crew , which those critical of his conduct viewed as a bribe . The Duff - Gordons at the time ( and his wife 's secretary in a letter written at the time and rediscovered in 2007 ) stated that there had been no women or children waiting to board in the vicinity of the launching of their boat , and there is confirmation that lifeboat 1 of the Titanic was almost empty and that First Officer William Murdoch was apparently glad to offer Duff - Gordon and his wife and her secretary a place ( simply to fill it ) after they had asked if they could get on . Duff - Gordon denied that his offer of money to the lifeboat crew represented a bribe . The British Board of Trade 's inquiry into the disaster accepted Duff - Gordon 's denial of bribing the crew , but maintained that , if the emergency boat had rowed towards the people who were in the water , it might very well have been able to rescue some of them . Rosalind Ayres as Lady Duff - Gordon : A world - famous fashion designer and Sir Cosmo 's wife . She is rescued in Lifeboat 1 with her husband . She and her husband never lived down rumors that they had forbidden the lifeboat 's crew to return to the wreck site in case they would be swamped . Rochelle Rose as Noël Leslie , Countess of Rothes : The Countess is shown to be friendly with Cal and the DeWitt Bukaters . Despite being of a higher status in society than Sir Cosmo and Lady Duff - Gordon , she is kind , and helps row the boat and even looks after the steerage passengers . Scott G. Anderson as Frederick Fleet : The lookout who saw the iceberg . Fleet escapes the sinking ship aboard Lifeboat 6 . Paul Brightwell as Quartermaster Robert Hichens : One of the ship 's six quartermasters and at the ship 's wheel at the time of collision . He is in charge of lifeboat 6 . He refuses to go back and pick up survivors after the sinking and eventually the boat is commandeered by Molly Brown . Martin East as Reginald Lee : The other lookout in the crow 's nest . He survives the sinking . Gregory Cooke as Jack Phillips : Senior wireless operator on board the Titanic whom Captain Smith ordered to send the distress signal . Craig Kelly as Harold Bride : Junior wireless operator on board the Titanic . Liam Tuohy as Chief Baker Charles Joughin : The baker appears in the film on top of the railing with Jack and Rose as the ship sinks , drinking brandy from a flask . According to the real Joughin 's testimony , he rode the ship down and stepped into the water without getting his hair wet . He also admitted to hardly feeling the cold , most likely thanks to alcohol . Terry Forrestal as Chief Engineer Joseph G. Bell : Bell and his men worked until the last minute to keep the lights and the power on in order for distress signals to get out . Bell and all of the engineers died in the bowels of the Titanic . Cameos Several crew members of the Akademik Mstislav Keldysh appear in the film , including Anatoly Sagalevich , creator and pilot of the MIR self - propelled Deep Submergence Vehicle . Anders Falk , who filmed a documentary about the film 's sets for the Titanic Historical Society , makes a cameo appearance in the film as a Swedish immigrant whom Jack Dawson meets when he enters his cabin ; Edward Kamuda and Karen Kamuda , then President and Vice President of the Society who served as film consultants , were cast as extras in the film . Pre-production Writing and inspiration `` The story could not have been written better ... The juxtaposition of rich and poor , the gender roles played out unto death ( women first ) , the stoicism and nobility of a bygone age , the magnificence of the great ship matched in scale only by the folly of the men who drove her hell - bent through the darkness . And above all the lesson : that life is uncertain , the future unknowable ... the unthinkable possible . '' -- James Cameron James Cameron had a fascination with shipwrecks , and , for him , the RMS Titanic was `` the Mount Everest of shipwrecks . '' He was almost past the point in his life when he felt he could consider an undersea expedition , but said he still had `` a mental restlessness '' to live the life he had turned away from when he switched from the sciences to the arts in college . So when an IMAX film was made from footage shot of the wreck itself , he decided to seek Hollywood funding to `` pay for an expedition and do the same thing . '' It was `` not because I particularly wanted to make the movie , '' Cameron said . `` I wanted to dive to the shipwreck . '' Cameron wrote a scriptment for a Titanic film , met with 20th Century Fox executives including Peter Chernin , and pitched it as `` Romeo and Juliet on the Titanic '' . Cameron stated , `` They were like , ' Oooooohkaaaaaay -- a three - hour romantic epic ? Sure , that 's just what we want . Is there a little bit of Terminator in that ? Any Harrier jets , shoot - outs , or car chases ? ' I said , ' No , no , no . It 's not like that . ' '' The studio was dubious about the idea 's commercial prospects , but , hoping for a long - term relationship with Cameron , they gave him a greenlight . Director , writer and producer James Cameron Cameron convinced Fox to promote the film based on the publicity afforded by shooting the Titanic wreck itself , and organized several dives to the site over a period of two years . `` My pitch on that had to be a little more detailed , '' said Cameron . `` So I said , ' Look , we 've got to do this whole opening where they 're exploring the Titanic and they find the diamond , so we 're going to have all these shots of the ship . '' Cameron stated , `` Now , we can either do them with elaborate models and motion control shots and CG and all that , which will cost X amount of money -- or we can spend X plus 30 per cent and actually go shoot it at the real wreck . '' The crew shot at the real wreck in the Atlantic Ocean twelve times in 1995 and actually spent more time with the ship than its passengers . At that depth , with a water pressure of 6,000 pounds per square inch , `` one small flaw in the vessel 's superstructure would mean instant death for all on board . '' Not only were the dives high - risk , but adverse conditions prevented Cameron from getting the high quality footage that he wanted . During one dive , one of the submersibles collided with Titanic 's hull , damaging both sub and ship and leaving fragments of the submersible 's propeller shroud scattered around the superstructure . The external bulkhead of Captain Smith 's quarters collapsed , exposing the interior . The area around the entrance to the Grand Staircase was also damaged . Descending to the actual site made both Cameron and crew want `` to live up to that level of reality ... But there was another level of reaction coming away from the real wreck , which was that it was n't just a story , it was n't just a drama , '' he said . `` It was an event that happened to real people who really died . Working around the wreck for so much time , you get such a strong sense of the profound sadness and injustice of it , and the message of it . '' Cameron stated , `` You think , ' There probably are n't going to be many filmmakers who go to Titanic . There may never be another one -- maybe a documentarian . '' Due to this , he felt `` a great mantle of responsibility to convey the emotional message of it -- to do that part of it right , too '' . After filming the underwater shots , Cameron began writing the screenplay . He wanted to honor the people who died during the sinking , so he spent six months researching all of the Titanic 's crew and passengers . `` I read everything I could . I created an extremely detailed timeline of the ship 's few days and a very detailed timeline of the last night of its life , '' he said . `` And I worked within that to write the script , and I got some historical experts to analyze what I 'd written and comment on it , and I adjusted it . '' He paid meticulous attention to detail , even including a scene depicting the Californian 's role in Titanic 's demise , though this was later cut ( see below ) . From the beginning of the shoot , they had `` a very clear picture '' of what happened on the ship that night . `` I had a library that filled one whole wall of my writing office with Titanic stuff , because I wanted it to be right , especially if we were going to dive to the ship , '' he said . `` That set the bar higher in a way -- it elevated the movie in a sense . We wanted this to be a definitive visualization of this moment in history as if you 'd gone back in a time machine and shot it . '' Cameron felt the Titanic sinking was `` like a great novel that really happened '' , but that the event had become a mere morality tale ; the film would give audiences the experience of living the history . The treasure hunter Brock Lovett represented those who never connected with the human element of the tragedy , while the blossoming romance of Jack and Rose , Cameron believed , would be the most engaging part of the story : when their love is finally destroyed , the audience would mourn the loss . He said : `` All my films are love stories , but in Titanic I finally got the balance right . It 's not a disaster film . It 's a love story with a fastidious overlay of real history . '' Cameron framed the romance with the elderly Rose to make the intervening years palpable and poignant . While Winslet and Stuart stated their belief that , instead of being asleep in her bed , the character dies at the end of the film , Cameron said that he would rather not reveal what he intended with the ending because `` ( t ) he answer has to be something you supply personally ; individually . '' Scale modeling The reconstruction of the RMS Titanic . The blueprints were supplied by the original ship 's builder and Cameron tried to make the ship as detailed and accurate as possible . Harland and Wolff , the RMS Titanic 's builders , opened their private archives to the crew , sharing blueprints that were thought lost . For the ship 's interiors , production designer Peter Lamont 's team looked for artifacts from the era . The newness of the ship meant every prop had to be made from scratch . Fox acquired 40 acres of waterfront south of Playas de Rosarito in Mexico , and began building a new studio on May 31 , 1996 . A horizon tank of seventeen million gallons was built for the exterior of the reconstructed ship , providing 270 degrees of ocean view . The ship was built to full scale , but Lamont removed redundant sections on the superstructure and forward well deck for the ship to fit in the tank , with the remaining sections filled with digital models . The lifeboats and funnels were shrunken by ten percent . The boat deck and A-deck were working sets , but the rest of the ship was just steel plating . Within was a fifty - foot lifting platform for the ship to tilt during the sinking sequences . Towering above was a 162 - foot - tall ( 49 m ) tower crane on 600 feet ( 180 m ) of rail track , acting as a combined construction , lighting , and camera platform . The sets representing the interior rooms of the Titanic were reproduced exactly as originally built , using photographs and plans from the Titanic 's builders . The Grand Staircase , which features prominently in the film , was recreated to a high standard of authenticity , though it was widened 30 % compared to the original and reinforced with steel girders . Craftsmen from Mexico and Britain sculpted the ornate paneling and plaster - work based on Titanic 's ' original designs . The carpeting , upholstery , individual pieces of furniture , light fixtures , chairs , cutlery and crockery with the White Star Line crest on each piece were among the objects recreated according to original designs . Cameron additionally hired two Titanic historians , Don Lynch and Ken Marschall , to authenticate the historical detail in the film . Production Principal photography for Titanic began in July 1996 at Dartmouth , Nova Scotia , with the filming of the modern day expedition scenes aboard the Akademik Mstislav Keldysh . In September 1996 , the production moved to the newly built Fox Baja Studios in Rosarito , Mexico , where a full scale RMS Titanic had been constructed . The poop deck was built on a hinge which could rise from zero to 90 degrees in a few seconds , just as the ship 's stern rose during the sinking . For the safety of the stuntmen , many props were made of foam rubber . By November 15 , the boarding scenes were being shot . Cameron chose to build his RMS Titanic on the starboard side as a study of weather data revealed it was a prevailing north - to - south wind which blew the funnel smoke aft . This posed a problem for shooting the ship 's departure from Southampton , as it was docked on its port side . Implementation of written directions , as well as props and costumes , had to be reversed ; for example , if someone walked to their right in the script , they had to walk left during shooting . In post-production , the film was flipped to the correct direction . A full - time etiquette coach was hired to instruct the cast in the manners of the upper class gentility in 1912 . Despite this , several critics picked up on anachronisms in the film , not least involving the two main stars . Close - up shot of Cameron 's nude sketch of Rose wearing the `` Heart of the Ocean '' . The associated nude scene was one of the first scenes shot , as the main set was not yet ready . Cameron sketched Jack 's nude portrait of Rose for a scene which he feels has the backdrop of repression . `` You know what it means for her , the freedom she must be feeling . It 's kind of exhilarating for that reason , '' he said . The nude scene was DiCaprio and Winslet 's first scene together . `` It was n't by any kind of design , although I could n't have designed it better . There 's a nervousness and an energy and a hesitance in them , '' Cameron stated . `` They had rehearsed together , but they had n't shot anything together . If I 'd had a choice , I probably would have preferred to put it deeper into the body of the shoot . '' Cameron said he and his crew `` were just trying to find things to shoot '' because the big set `` was n't ready for months , so we were scrambling around trying to fill in anything we could get to shoot . '' After seeing the scene on film , Cameron felt it worked out considerably well . Other times on the set were not as smooth . The shoot was an arduous experience that `` cemented Cameron 's formidable reputation as ' the scariest man in Hollywood ' . He became known as an uncompromising , hard - charging perfectionist '' and a `` 300 - decibel screamer , a modern - day Captain Bligh with a megaphone and walkie - talkie , swooping down into people 's faces on a 162ft crane '' . Winslet chipped a bone in her elbow during filming and had been worried that she would drown in the 17m - gallon water tank the ship was to be sunk in . `` There were times when I was genuinely frightened of him . Jim has a temper like you would n't believe , '' she said . `` ' God damn it ! ' he would yell at some poor crew member , ' that 's exactly what I did n't want ! ' '' Her co-star , Bill Paxton , was familiar with Cameron 's work ethic from his earlier experience with him . `` There were a lot of people on the set . Jim is not one of those guys who has the time to win hearts and minds , '' he said . The crew felt Cameron had an evil alter ego and so nicknamed him `` Mij '' ( Jim spelt backwards ) . In response to the criticism , Cameron stated , `` Film - making is war . A great battle between business and aesthetics . '' During the Akademik Mstislav Keldysh shoot in Canada , an angry crew member put the dissociative drug PCP into the soup that Cameron and various others ate one night in Dartmouth , Nova Scotia . It sent more than 50 people to the hospital , including actor Bill Paxton . `` There were people just rolling around , completely out of it . Some of them said they were seeing streaks and psychedelics , '' said actor Lewis Abernathy . Cameron managed to vomit before the drug took a full hold . Abernathy was shocked at the way he looked . `` One eye was completely red , like the Terminator eye . A pupil , no iris , beet red . The other eye looked like he 'd been sniffing glue since he was four . '' The person behind the poisoning was never caught . The filming schedule was intended to last 138 days but grew to 160 . Many cast members came down with colds , flu , or kidney infections after spending hours in cold water , including Winslet . In the end , she decided she would not work with Cameron again unless she earned `` a lot of money '' . Several others left the production , and three stuntmen broke their bones , but the Screen Actors Guild decided , following an investigation , that nothing was inherently unsafe about the set . Additionally , DiCaprio said there was no point when he felt he was in danger during filming . Cameron believed in a passionate work ethic and never apologized for the way he ran his sets , although he acknowledged : I 'm demanding , and I 'm demanding on my crew . In terms of being kind of militaresque , I think there 's an element of that in dealing with thousands of extras and big logistics and keeping people safe . I think you have to have a fairly strict methodology in dealing with a large number of people . The costs of filming Titanic eventually began to mount and finally reached $200 million , a bit over $1 million per minute of screen time . Fox executives panicked and suggested an hour of specific cuts from the three - hour film . They argued the extended length would mean fewer showings , thus less revenue , even though long epics are more likely to help directors win Oscars . Cameron refused , telling Fox , `` You want to cut my movie ? You 're going to have to fire me ! You want to fire me ? You 're going to have to kill me ! '' The executives did not want to start over , because it would mean the loss of their entire investment , but they also initially rejected Cameron 's offer of forfeiting his share of the profits as an empty gesture , as they predicted profits would be unlikely . Cameron explained forfeiting his share as complex . `` ... the short version is that the film cost proportionally much more than T2 and True Lies . Those films went up seven or eight percent from the initial budget . Titanic also had a large budget to begin with , but it went up a lot more , '' he said . `` As the producer and director , I take responsibility for the studio that 's writing the checks , so I made it less painful for them . I did that on two different occasions . They did n't force me to do it ; they were glad that I did . '' Post-production Effects Cameron wanted to push the boundary of special effects with his film , and enlisted Digital Domain to continue the developments in digital technology which the director pioneered while working on The Abyss and Terminator 2 : Judgment Day . Many previous films about the RMS Titanic shot water in slow motion , which did not look wholly convincing . Cameron encouraged his crew to shoot their 45 - foot - long ( 14 m ) miniature of the ship as if `` we 're making a commercial for the White Star Line '' . Afterwards , digital water and smoke were added , as were extras captured on a motion capture stage . Visual effects supervisor Rob Legato scanned the faces of many actors , including himself and his children , for the digital extras and stuntmen . There was also a 65 - foot - long ( 20 m ) model of the ship 's stern that could break in two repeatedly , the only miniature to be used in water . For scenes set in the ship 's engines , footage of the SS Jeremiah O'Brien 's engines were composited with miniature support frames , and actors shot against a greenscreen . In order to save money , the first - class lounge was a miniature set incorporated into a greenscreen backdrop behind the actors . The miniature of the Lounge would later be crushed to simulate the destruction of the room and a scale model of a First - Class corridor flooded with jets of water while the camera pans out . Unlike previous Titanic films , Cameron 's retelling of the disaster showed the ship breaking into two pieces before sinking entirely . The scenes were an account of the moment 's most likely outcome . An enclosed 5,000,000 - US - gallon ( 19,000,000 L ) tank was used for sinking interiors , in which the entire set could be tilted into the water . In order to sink the Grand Staircase , 90,000 US gallons ( 340,000 L ) of water were dumped into the set as it was lowered into the tank . Unexpectedly , the waterfall ripped the staircase from its steel - reinforced foundations , although no one was hurt . The 744 - foot - long ( 227 m ) exterior of the RMS Titanic had its first half lowered into the tank , but as the heaviest part of the ship it acted as a shock absorber against the water ; to get the set into the water , Cameron had much of the set emptied and even smashed some of the promenade windows himself . After submerging the dining saloon , three days were spent shooting Lovett 's ROV traversing the wreck in the present . The post-sinking scenes in the freezing Atlantic were shot in a 350,000 - US - gallon ( 1,300,000 L ) tank , where the frozen corpses were created by applying on actors a powder that crystallized when exposed to water , and wax was coated on hair and clothes . The climactic scene , which features the breakup of the ship directly before it sinks as well as its final plunge to the bottom of the Atlantic , involved a tilting full - sized set , 150 extras , and 100 stunt performers . Cameron criticized previous Titanic films for depicting the liner 's final plunge as a graceful slide underwater . He `` wanted to depict it as the terrifyingly chaotic event that it really was '' . When carrying out the sequence , people needed to fall off the increasingly tilting deck , plunging hundreds of feet below and bouncing off of railings and propellers on the way down . A few attempts to film this sequence with stunt people resulted in some minor injuries , and Cameron halted the more dangerous stunts . The risks were eventually minimized `` by using computer generated people for the dangerous falls '' . Editing There was one `` crucial historical fact '' Cameron chose to omit from the film -- the SS Californian was close to the Titanic the night she sank but had turned off its radio for the night , did not hear her crew 's SOS calls , and did not respond to their distress flares . `` Yes , the ( SS ) Californian . That was n't a compromise to mainstream filmmaking . That was really more about emphasis , creating an emotional truth to the film , '' stated Cameron . He said there were aspects of retelling the sinking that seemed important in pre - and post-production , but turned out to be less important as the film evolved . `` The story of the Californian was in there ; we even shot a scene of them switching off their Marconi radio set , '' said Cameron . `` But I took it out . It was a clean cut , because it focuses you back onto that world . If Titanic is powerful as a metaphor , as a microcosm , for the end of the world in a sense , then that world must be self - contained . '' During the first assembly cut , Cameron altered the planned ending , which had given resolution to Brock Lovett 's story . In the original version of the ending , Brock and Lizzy see the elderly Rose at the stern of the boat and fear she is going to commit suicide . Rose then reveals that she had the `` Heart of the Ocean '' diamond all along but never sold it , in order to live on her own without Cal 's money . She tells Brock that life is priceless and throws the diamond into the ocean , after allowing him to hold it . After accepting that treasure is worthless , Brock laughs at his stupidity . Rose then goes back to her cabin to sleep , whereupon the film ends in the same way as the final version . In the editing room , Cameron decided that by this point , the audience would no longer be interested in Brock Lovett and cut the resolution to his story , so that Rose is alone when she drops the diamond . He also did not want to disrupt the audience 's melancholy after the Titanic 's sinking . The version used for the first test screening featured a fight between Jack and Lovejoy which takes place after Jack and Rose escape into the flooded dining saloon , but the test audiences disliked it . The scene was written to give the film more suspense , and featured Cal ( falsely ) offering to give Lovejoy , his valet , the `` Heart of the Ocean '' if he can get it from Jack and Rose . Lovejoy goes after the pair in the sinking first - class dining room . Just as they are about to escape him , Lovejoy notices Rose 's hand slap the water as it slips off the table behind which she is hiding . In revenge for framing him for the `` theft '' of the necklace , Jack attacks him and smashes his head against a glass window , which explains the gash on Lovejoy 's head that can be seen when he dies in the completed version of the film . In their reactions to the scene , test audiences said it would be unrealistic to risk one 's life for wealth , and Cameron cut it for this reason , as well as for timing and pacing reasons . Many other scenes were cut for similar reasons . Music and soundtrack Main articles : Titanic : Music from the Motion Picture and Back to Titanic Excerpt from `` Hymn to the Sea '' Featuring the vocals of Sissel Kyrkjebø , this is a recurring somber theme that is associated with the tragic elements of Titanic Problems playing this file ? See media help . The soundtrack album for Titanic was composed by James Horner . For the vocals heard throughout the film , subsequently described by Earle Hitchner of The Wall Street Journal as `` evocative '' , Horner chose Norwegian singer Sissel Kyrkjebø , commonly known as `` Sissel '' . Horner knew Sissel from her album Innerst i sjelen , and he particularly liked how she sang `` Eg veit i himmerik ei borg '' ( `` I Know in Heaven There Is a Castle '' ) . He had tried twenty - five or thirty singers before he finally chose Sissel as the voice to create specific moods within the film . Horner additionally wrote the song `` My Heart Will Go On '' in secret with Will Jennings because Cameron did not want any songs with singing in the film . Céline Dion agreed to record a demo with the persuasion of her husband René Angélil . Horner waited until Cameron was in an appropriate mood before presenting him with the song . After playing it several times , Cameron declared his approval , although worried that he would have been criticized for `` going commercial at the end of the movie '' . Cameron also wanted to appease anxious studio executives and `` saw that a hit song from his movie could only be a positive factor in guaranteeing its completion '' . Release Initial screening 20th Century Fox and Paramount Pictures co-financed Titanic , with Paramount handling the North American distribution and Fox handling the international release . They expected Cameron to complete the film for a release on July 2 , 1997 . The film was to be released on this date `` in order to exploit the lucrative summer season ticket sales when blockbuster films usually do better '' . In April , Cameron said the film 's special effects were too complicated and that releasing the film for summer would not be possible . With production delays , Paramount pushed back the release date to December 19 , 1997 . `` This fueled speculation that the film itself was a disaster . '' A preview screening in Minneapolis on July 14 `` generated positive reviews '' and `` ( c ) hatter on the internet was responsible for more favorable word of mouth about the ( film ) '' . This eventually led to more positive media coverage . The film premiered on November 1 , 1997 , at the Tokyo International Film Festival , where reaction was described as `` tepid '' by The New York Times . Positive reviews started to appear back in the United States ; the official Hollywood premiere occurred on December 14 , 1997 , where `` the big movie stars who attended the opening were enthusiastically gushing about the film to the world media '' . Box Office Including revenue from the 2012 and 2017 reissues , Titanic earned $659.4 million in North America and $1.528 billion in other countries , for a worldwide total of $2.187 billion . It became the highest - grossing film of all time worldwide in 1998 , and remained so for twelve years , until Avatar ( 2009 ) , also written and directed by Cameron , surpassed it in 2010 . On March 1 , 1998 , it became the first film to earn more than $1 billion worldwide and on the weekend April 13 -- 15 , 2012 -- a century after the original vessel 's foundering , Titanic became the second film to cross the $2 billion threshold during its 3D re-release . Box Office Mojo estimates that Titanic is the fifth highest - grossing film of all time in North America when adjusting for ticket price inflation . The site also estimates that the film sold over 128 million tickets in the US in its initial theatrical run . Titanic was the first foreign - language film to succeed in India , which has the largest movie - going audience in the world . A 2012 Hindustan Times report attributes this to the film 's similarities and shared themes with most Bollywood films . Initial theatrical run The film received steady attendance after opening in North America on Friday , December 19 , 1997 . By the end of that same weekend , theaters were beginning to sell out . The film earned $8,658,814 on its opening day and $28,638,131 over the opening weekend from 2,674 theaters , averaging to about $10,710 per venue , and ranking number one at the box office , ahead of the eighteenth James Bond film , Tomorrow Never Dies . By New Year 's Day , Titanic had made over $120 million , had increased in popularity and theaters continued to sell out . Its highest grossing single day was Saturday , February 14 , 1998 , on which it earned $13,048,711 , more than eight weeks after its North American debut . It stayed at number one for 15 consecutive weeks in North America , a record for any film . The film stayed in theaters in North America for almost 10 months before finally closing on Thursday , October 1 , 1998 with a final domestic gross of $600,788,188 . Outside North America , the film made double its North American gross , generating $1,242,413,080 and accumulating a grand total of $1,843,201,268 worldwide from its initial theatrical run . Commercial analysis Before Titanic 's release , various film critics predicted the film would be a significant disappointment at the box office , especially due to it being the most expensive film ever made at the time . When it was shown to the press in autumn of 1997 , `` it was with massive forebodings '' since the `` people in charge of the screenings believed they were on the verge of losing their jobs -- because of this great albatross of a picture on which , finally , two studios had to combine to share the great load of its making '' . Cameron also thought he was `` headed for disaster '' at one point during filming . `` We labored the last six months on Titanic in the absolute knowledge that the studio would lose $100 million . It was a certainty , '' he stated . As the film neared release , `` particular venom was spat at Cameron for what was seen as his hubris and monumental extravagance '' . A film critic for the Los Angeles Times wrote that `` Cameron 's overweening pride has come close to capsizing this project '' and that the film was `` a hackneyed , completely derivative copy of old Hollywood romances '' . `` It 's hard to forget the director on the stage of the Shrine Auditorium in LA , exultant , pumping a golden Oscar statuette into the air and shouting : ' I 'm the king of the world ! ' As everyone knew , that was the most famous line in Titanic , exclaimed by Leonardo DiCaprio 's character as he leaned into the wind on the prow of the doomed vessel . Cameron 's incantation of the line was a giant ' eff off ' , in front of a television audience approaching a billion , to all the naysayers , especially those sitting right in front of him . '' -- Christopher Goodwin of The Times on Cameron 's response to Titanic 's criticism When the film became a success , with an unprecedented box office performance , it was credited for being a love story that captured its viewers ' emotions . The film was playing on 3,200 screens ten weeks after it opened , and out of its fifteen straight weeks on top of the charts , jumped 43 % in total sales in its ninth week of release . It earned over $20 million a week for ten weeks , and after 14 weeks was still bringing in more than $1 million a week . 20th Century Fox estimated that seven percent of American teenage girls had seen Titanic twice by its fifth week . Although young women who saw the film several times , and subsequently caused `` Leo - Mania '' , were often credited with having primarily propelled the film to its all - time box office record , other reports have attributed the film 's success to positive word of mouth and repeat viewership due to the love story combined with the ground - breaking special effects . The film 's impact on men has also been especially credited . Now considered one of the films that `` make men cry '' , MSNBC 's Ian Hodder stated that men admire Jack 's sense of adventure , stowing away on a steamship bound for America . `` We cheer as he courts a girl who was out of his league . We admire how he suggests nude modeling as an excuse to get naked . So when ( the tragic ending happens ) , an uncontrollable flood of tears sinks our composure , '' he said . Titanic 's ability to make men cry was briefly parodied in the 2009 film Zombieland , where character Tallahassee ( Woody Harrelson ) , when recalling the death of his young son , states : `` I have n't cried like that since Titanic . '' In 2010 , the BBC analyzed the stigma over men crying during Titanic and films in general . `` Middle - aged men are not ' supposed ' to cry during movies , '' stated Finlo Rohrer of the website , citing the ending of Titanic as having generated such tears , adding that `` men , if they have felt weepy during ( this film ) , have often tried to be surreptitious about it . '' Professor Mary Beth Oliver , of Penn State University , stated , `` For many men , there is a great deal of pressure to avoid expression of ' female ' emotions like sadness and fear . From a very young age , males are taught that it is inappropriate to cry , and these lessons are often accompanied by a great deal of ridicule when the lessons are n't followed . '' Rohrer said , `` Indeed , some men who might sneer at the idea of crying during Titanic will readily admit to becoming choked up during Saving Private Ryan or Platoon . '' For men in general , `` the idea of sacrifice for a ' brother ' is a more suitable source of emotion '' . Scott Meslow of The Atlantic stated while Titanic initially seems to need no defense , given its success , it is considered a film `` for 15 - year - old girls '' by its main detractors . He argued that dismissing Titanic as fodder for 15 - year - old girls fails to consider the film 's accomplishment : `` that ( this ) grandiose , 3 + hour historical romantic drama is a film for everyone -- including teenage boys . '' Meslow stated that despite the film being ranked high by males under the age of 18 , matching the ratings for teenage boy - targeted films like Iron Man , it is common for boys and men to deny liking Titanic . He acknowledged his own rejection of the film as a child while secretly loving it . `` It 's this collection of elements -- the history , the romance , the action -- that made ( and continues to make ) Titanic an irresistible proposition for audiences of all ages across the globe , '' he stated . `` Titanic has flaws , but for all its legacy , it 's better than its middlebrow reputation would have you believe . It 's a great movie for 15 - year - old girls , but that does n't mean it 's not a great movie for everyone else too . '' Quotes in the film aided its popularity . Titanic 's catchphrase `` I 'm the king of the world ! '' became one of the film industry 's more popular quotations . According to Richard Harris , a psychology professor at Kansas State University , who studied why people like to cite films in social situations , using film quotations in everyday conversation is similar to telling a joke and a way to form solidarity with others . `` People are doing it to feel good about themselves , to make others laugh , to make themselves laugh '' , he said . Cameron explained the film 's success as having significantly benefited from the experience of sharing . `` When people have an experience that 's very powerful in the movie theatre , they want to go share it . They want to grab their friend and bring them , so that they can enjoy it , '' he said . `` They want to be the person to bring them the news that this is something worth having in their life . That 's how Titanic worked . '' Media Awareness Network stated , `` The normal repeat viewing rate for a blockbuster theatrical film is about 5 % . The repeat rate for Titanic was over 20 % . '' The box office receipts `` were even more impressive '' when factoring in `` the film 's 3 - hour - and - 14 - minute length meant that it could only be shown three times a day compared to a normal movie 's four showings '' . In response to this , `` ( m ) any theatres started midnight showings and were rewarded with full houses until almost 3 : 30 am '' . Titanic held the record for box office gross for twelve years . Cameron 's follow - up film , Avatar , was considered the first film with a genuine chance at surpassing its worldwide gross , and did so in 2010 . Various explanations for why the film was able to successfully challenge Titanic were given . For one , `` Two - thirds of Titanic 's haul was earned overseas , and Avatar ( tracked ) similarly ... Avatar opened in 106 markets globally and was no . 1 in all of them '' and the markets `` such as Russia , where Titanic saw modest receipts in 1997 and 1998 , are white - hot today '' with `` more screens and moviegoers '' than ever before . Brandon Gray , president of Box Office Mojo , said that while Avatar may beat Titanic 's revenue record , the film is unlikely to surpass Titanic in attendance . `` Ticket prices were about $3 cheaper in the late 1990s . '' In December 2009 , Cameron had stated , `` I do n't think it 's realistic to try to topple Titanic off its perch . Some pretty good movies have come out in the last few years . Titanic just struck some kind of chord . '' In a January 2010 interview , he gave a different take on the matter once Avatar 's performance was easier to predict . `` It 's gon na happen . It 's just a matter of time , '' he said . Author Alexandra Keller , when analyzing Titanic 's success , stated that scholars could agree that the film 's popularity `` appears dependent on contemporary culture , on perceptions of history , on patterns of consumerism and globalization , as well as on those elements experienced filmgoers conventionally expect of juggernaut film events in the 1990s -- awesome screen spectacle , expansive action , and , more rarely seen , engaging characters and epic drama . '' Critical reception Titanic garnered mainly positive reviews from film critics , and was positively reviewed by audiences and scholars , who commented on the film 's cultural , historical and political impacts . On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes , the film has an approval rating of 88 % based on 178 reviews , with a rating average of 8 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` A mostly unqualified triumph for Cameron , who offers a dizzying blend of spectacular visuals and old - fashioned melodrama . '' At Metacritic , which assigns a weighted mean rating to reviews , the film has a score of 75 based on 34 critics , indicating `` generally favorably reviews '' . Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` A + '' on an A+ to F scale , one of fewer than 60 films in the history of the service to earn the score . With regard to the film 's overall design , Roger Ebert stated , `` It is flawlessly crafted , intelligently constructed , strongly acted , and spellbinding ... Movies like this are not merely difficult to make at all , but almost impossible to make well . '' He credited the `` technical difficulties '' with being `` so daunting that it 's a wonder when the filmmakers are also able to bring the drama and history into proportion '' and `` found ( himself ) convinced by both the story and the sad saga '' . He named it his ninth best film of 1997 . On the television program Siskel & Ebert , the film received `` two thumbs up '' and was praised for its accuracy in recreating the ship 's sinking ; Ebert described the film as `` a glorious Hollywood epic '' and `` well worth the wait , '' and Gene Siskel found Leonardo DiCaprio `` captivating '' . James Berardinelli stated , `` Meticulous in detail , yet vast in scope and intent , Titanic is the kind of epic motion picture event that has become a rarity . You do n't just watch Titanic , you experience it . '' It was named his second best film of 1997 . Almar Haflidason of the BBC wrote that `` the sinking of the great ship is no secret , yet for many exceeded expectations in sheer scale and tragedy '' and that `` when you consider that ( the film ) tops a bum - numbing three - hour running time , then you have a truly impressive feat of entertainment achieved by Cameron '' . Joseph McBride of Boxoffice Magazine concluded , `` To describe Titanic as the greatest disaster movie ever made is to sell it short . James Cameron 's recreation of the 1912 sinking of the ' unsinkable ' liner is one of the most magnificent pieces of serious popular entertainment ever to emanate from Hollywood . '' The romantic and emotionally charged aspects of the film were equally praised . Andrew L. Urban of Urban Cinefile said , `` You will walk out of Titanic not talking about budget or running time , but of its enormous emotive power , big as the engines of the ship itself , determined as its giant propellers to gouge into your heart , and as lasting as the love story that propels it . '' Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly described the film as , `` A lush and terrifying spectacle of romantic doom . Writer - director James Cameron has restaged the defining catastrophe of the early 20th century on a human scale of such purified yearning and dread that he touches the deepest levels of popular moviemaking . '' Janet Maslin of The New York Times commented that `` Cameron 's magnificent Titanic is the first spectacle in decades that honestly invites comparison to Gone With the Wind . '' Richard Corliss of Time magazine , on the other hand , wrote a mostly negative review , criticizing the lack of interesting emotional elements . Some reviewers felt that the story and dialogue were weak , while the visuals were spectacular . Kenneth Turan 's review in the Los Angeles Times was particularly scathing . Dismissing the emotive elements , he stated , `` What really brings on the tears is Cameron 's insistence that writing this kind of movie is within his abilities . Not only is it not , it is not even close . '' , and later claimed that the only reason that the film won Oscars was because of its box office total . Barbara Shulgasser of The San Francisco Examiner gave Titanic one star out of four , citing a friend as saying , `` The number of times in this unbelievably badly written script that the two ( lead characters ) refer to each other by name was an indication of just how dramatically the script lacked anything more interesting for the actors to say . '' Also , filmmaker Robert Altman called it `` the most dreadful piece of work I 've ever seen in my entire life '' . In his 2012 study of the lives of the passengers on the Titanic , historian Richard Davenport - Hines said , `` Cameron 's film diabolized rich Americans and educated English , anathematizing their emotional restraint , good tailoring , punctilious manners and grammatical training , while it made romantic heroes of the poor Irish and the unlettered '' . Titanic suffered backlash in addition to its success . In 2003 , the film topped a poll of `` Best Film Endings '' , and yet it also topped a poll by Film 2003 as `` the worst movie of all time '' . The British film magazine Empire reduced their rating of the film from the maximum five stars and an enthusiastic review , to four stars with a less positive review in a later edition , to accommodate its readers ' tastes , who wanted to disassociate themselves from the hype surrounding the film , and the reported activities of its fans , such as those attending multiple screenings . In addition to this , positive and negative parodies and other such spoofs of the film abounded and were circulated on the internet , often inspiring passionate responses from fans of various opinions of the film . Benjamin Willcock of DVDActive.com did not understand the backlash or the passionate hatred for the film . `` What really irks me ... , '' he said , `` are those who make nasty stabs at those who do love it . '' Willcock stated , `` I obviously do n't have anything against those who dislike Titanic , but those few who make you feel small and pathetic for doing so ( and they do exist , trust me ) are way beyond my understanding and sympathy . '' Cameron responded to the backlash , and Kenneth Turan 's review in particular . `` Titanic is not a film that is sucking people in with flashy hype and spitting them out onto the street feeling let down and ripped off , '' he stated . `` They are returning again and again to repeat an experience that is taking a 3 - hour and 14 - minute chunk out of their lives , and dragging others with them , so they can share the emotion . '' Cameron emphasized people from all ages ( ranging from 8 to 80 ) and from all backgrounds were `` celebrating their own essential humanity '' by seeing it . He described the script as earnest and straightforward , and said it intentionally `` incorporates universals of human experience and emotion that are timeless -- and familiar because they reflect our basic emotional fabric '' and that the film was able to succeed in this way by dealing with archetypes . He did not see it as pandering . `` Turan mistakes archetype for cliche , '' he said . `` I do n't share his view that the best scripts are only the ones that explore the perimeter of human experience , or flashily pirouette their witty and cynical dialogue for our admiration . '' Empire eventually reinstated its original five star rating of the film , commenting , `` It should be no surprise then that it became fashionable to bash James Cameron 's Titanic at approximately the same time it became clear that this was the planet 's favourite film . Ever . '' In 2017 , on the 20th anniversary of its release , the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being `` culturally , historically , or aesthetically significant '' .

So far , it has ranked on the following six lists : AFI 's 100 Years ... 100 Rank Source Notes Thrills 25 A list of the top 100 thrilling films in American cinema , compiled in 2001 . Passions 37 A list of the top 100 love stories in American cinema , compiled in 2002 . Songs 14 A list of the top 100 songs in American cinema , compiled in 2004 .

Titanic ranked 100th for Jack Dawson 's yell of `` I 'm the king of the world ! '' Movies 83 A 2007 ( 10th anniversary ) edition of 1997 's list of the 100 best films of the past century . Titanic was not eligible when the original list was released . AFI 's 10 Top 10 6 The 2008 poll consisted of the top ten films in ten different genres . Titanic ranked as the sixth best epic film . Home media Titanic was released worldwide in widescreen and pan and scan formats on VHS and laserdisc on September 1 , 1998 . Both VHS formats were also made available in a deluxe boxed gift set with a mounted filmstrip and six lithograph prints from the movie . A DVD version was released on August 31 , 1999 in a widescreen - only ( non-anamorphic ) single - disc edition with no special features other than a theatrical trailer . Cameron stated at the time that he intended to release a special edition with extra features later . This release became the best - selling DVD of 1999 and early 2000 , becoming the first DVD ever to sell one million copies . At the time , fewer than 5 % of all U.S. homes had a DVD player . `` When we released the original Titanic DVD , the industry was much smaller , and bonus features were not the standard they are now , '' said Meagan Burrows , Paramount 's president of domestic home entertainment , which made the film 's DVD performance even more impressive . Titanic was re-released to DVD on October 25 , 2005 when a three - disc Special Collector 's Edition was made available in the United States and Canada . This edition contained a newly restored transfer of the film , as well as various special features . The two - disc edition was marketed as the Special Edition , and featured the first two discs of the three - disc set , only PAL - enabled . A four - disc edition , marketed as the Deluxe Collector 's Edition , was also released on November 7 , 2005 . Available only in the United Kingdom , a limited 5 - disc set of the film , under the title Deluxe Limited Edition , was released with only 10,000 copies manufactured . The fifth disc contains Cameron 's documentary Ghosts of the Abyss , which was distributed by Walt Disney Pictures . Unlike the individual release of Ghosts of the Abyss , which contained two discs , only the first disc was included in the set . Titanic was released on Blu - ray as a single disc variant and a 2 disc version featuring special features on September 10 , 2012 . A 4 Disc Blu - ray 3D version was released the same day . A limited Collector 's Edition box set including the Blu - ray 3D , 2D Blu - ray , DVD , a digital copy and a variety of souvenirs was also released exclusively to Amazon.com and other international retailers . With regard to television broadcasts , the film airs occasionally across the United States on networks such as TNT . To permit the scene where Jack draws the nude portrait of Rose to be shown on network and specialty cable channels , in addition to minor cuts , the sheer , see - through robe worn by Winslet was digitally painted black . Turner Classic Movies also began to show the film , specifically during the days leading up to the 82nd Academy Awards . 3D conversion A 2012 3D re-release was created by re-mastering the original to 4K resolution and post-converting to stereoscopic 3D format . The Titanic 3D version took 60 weeks and $18 million to produce , including the 4K restoration . The 3D conversion was performed by Stereo D and Sony with Slam Content 's Panther Records remastering the soundtrack . Digital 2D and in 2D IMAX versions were also struck from the new 4K master created in the process . For the 3D release , Cameron opened up the Super 35 film and expanded the image of the film into a new aspect ratio , from 2 : 35 : 1 to 1 : 78 : 1 , allowing the viewer to see more image on the top and bottom of the screen . The only scene entirely redone for the re-release was Rose 's view of the night sky at sea , on the morning of April 15 , 1912 . The scene was replaced with an accurate view of the night - sky star pattern , including the Milky Way , adjusted for the location in the North Atlantic Ocean in April 1912 . The change was prompted by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson , who had criticized the scene for showing an unrealistic star pattern . He agreed to send film director Cameron a corrected view of the sky , which was the basis of the new scene . An accurate view of the Milky Way was used to replace Rose 's view of the moonless night sky at sea , as in this photo from Paranal Observatory . The view was adjusted to match the North Atlantic at 4 : 20 am on April 15 , 1912 . The 3D version of Titanic premiered at the Royal Albert Hall in London on March 27 , 2012 , with James Cameron and Kate Winslet in attendance , and entered general release on April 4 , 2012 , six days shy of the centenary of RMS Titanic embarking on her maiden voyage . Rolling Stone film critic Peter Travers rated the reissue 31⁄2 stars out of 4 , explaining he found it `` pretty damn dazzling '' . He said , `` The 3D intensifies Titanic . You are there . Caught up like never before in an intimate epic that earns its place in the movie time capsule . '' Writing for Entertainment Weekly , Owen Gleiberman gave the film an A grade . He wrote , `` For once , the visuals in a 3 - D movie do n't look darkened or distracting . They look sensationally crisp and alive . '' Richard Corliss of Time who was very critical in 1997 remained in the same mood , `` I had pretty much the same reaction : fitfully awed , mostly water - logged . '' In regards to the 3D effects , he noted the `` careful conversion to 3D lends volume and impact to certain moments ... ( but ) in separating the foreground and background of each scene , the converters have carved the visual field into discrete , not organic , levels . '' Ann Hornaday for The Washington Post found herself asking `` whether the film 's twin values of humanism and spectacle are enhanced by Cameron 's 3 - D conversion , and the answer to that is : They are n't . '' She further added that the `` 3 - D conversion creates distance where there should be intimacy , not to mention odd moments in framing and composition . '' The film grossed an estimated $4.7 million on the first day of its re-release in North America ( including midnight preview showings ) and went on to make $17.3 million over the weekend , finishing in third place . Outside North America it earned $35.2 million finishing second , and improved on its performance the following weekend by topping the box office with $98.9 million . China has proven to be its most successful territory where it earned $11.6 million on its opening day , going on to earn a record - breaking $67 million in its opening week and taking more money in the process than it did in the entirety of its original theatrical run . The reissue ultimately earned $343.4 million worldwide , with $145 million coming from China and $57.8 million from Canada and United States . The 3D conversion of the film was also released in the 4DX format in selected international territories , which allows the audience to experience the film 's environment using motion , wind , fog , lighting and scent - based special effects . For the 20th anniversary of the film , Titanic was re-released in cinemas in Dolby Vision ( in both 2D and 3D ) for one week beginning December 1 , 2017 . Titanic Live Titanic Live was a live performance of James Horner 's original score by a 130 - piece orchestra , choir and Celtic musicians , accompanying a showing of the film . In April 2015 , Titanic Live premiered at the Royal Albert Hall , London , where the 2012 3D re-release had premiered . The Express said it was `` An absolute triumph , Titanic Live brought the film to life in a beautiful new way .

1736822267339012616 | Continent | Continent - wikipedia Continent Jump to : navigation , search For other uses , see Continent ( disambiguation ) . Animated , colour - coded map showing the various continents and regions . Depending on the convention and model , some continents may be consolidated or subdivided : for example , Eurasia is most often subdivided into Asia and Europe ( red shades ) , while North and South America are sometimes recognised as one American continent ( green shades ) . A continent is one of several very large landmasses of the world . Generally identified by convention rather than any strict criteria , up to seven regions are commonly regarded as continents . Ordered from largest in size to smallest , they are : Asia , Africa , North America , South America , Antarctica , Europe , and Australia . Geologically the continents largely correspond to areas of continental crust that are found on the continental plates . However some areas of continental crust are regions covered with water not usually included in the list of continents . The area referred to as Zealandia is one such area ( see submerged continents below ) . Islands are frequently grouped with a neighbouring continent to divide all the world 's land into geopolitical regions . Under this scheme , most of the island countries and territories in the Pacific Ocean are grouped together with the continent of Australia to form a geopolitical region called Oceania .

By convention , `` continents are understood to be large , continuous , discrete masses of land , ideally separated by expanses of water . '' Several of the seven conventionally recognized continents are not discrete landmasses separated completely by water . The criterion `` large '' leads to arbitrary classification : Greenland , with a surface area of 2,166,086 square kilometres ( 836,330 sq mi ) is considered the world 's largest island , while Australia , at 7,617,930 square kilometres ( 2,941,300 sq mi ) is deemed the smallest continent . Earth 's major landmasses all have coasts on a single , continuous World Ocean , which is divided into a number of principal oceanic components by the continents and various geographic criteria . Extent The most restricted meaning of continent is that of a continuous area of land or mainland , with the coastline and any land boundaries forming the edge of the continent . In this sense the term continental Europe ( sometimes referred to in Britain as `` the Continent '' ) is used to refer to mainland Europe , excluding islands such as Great Britain , Ireland , Malta and Iceland , and the term continent of Australia may refer to the mainland of Australia , excluding Tasmania and New Guinea . Similarly , the continental United States refers to the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia in central North America and may include Alaska in the northwest of the continent ( the two being separated by Canada ) , while excluding Hawaii , Puerto Rico , and Guam in the oceans . From the perspective of geology or physical geography , continent may be extended beyond the confines of continuous dry land to include the shallow , submerged adjacent area ( the continental shelf ) and the islands on the shelf ( continental islands ) , as they are structurally part of the continent . From this perspective the edge of the continental shelf is the true edge of the continent , as shorelines vary with changes in sea level . In this sense the islands of Great Britain and Ireland are part of Europe , while Australia and the island of New Guinea together form a continent . Map of island countries : these states are often grouped geographically with a neighboring continental landmass . As a cultural construct , the concept of a continent may go beyond the continental shelf to include oceanic islands and continental fragments . In this way , Iceland is considered part of Europe and Madagascar part of Africa . Extrapolating the concept to its extreme , some geographers group the Australian continental plate with other islands in the Pacific into one continent called Oceania . This divides the entire land surface of Earth into continents or quasi-continents . Separation Main article : Boundaries between the continents of Earth See also : List of transcontinental countries The ideal criterion that each continent be a discrete landmass is commonly relaxed due to historical conventions . Of the seven most globally recognized continents , only Antarctica and Australia are completely separated from other continents by ocean . Several continents are defined not as absolutely distinct bodies but as `` more or less discrete masses of land '' . Asia and Africa are joined by the Isthmus of Suez , and North and South America by the Isthmus of Panama . In both cases , there is no complete separation of these landmasses by water ( disregarding the Suez Canal and Panama Canal , which are both narrow and shallow , as well as being artificial ) . Both these isthmuses are very narrow compared to the bulk off the landmasses they unite . North America and South America are treated as separate continents in the seven - continent model . However , they may also be viewed as a single continent known as America or the Americas . This viewpoint was common in the United States until World War II , and remains prevalent in some Asian six - continent models . This remains the more common vision in Latin American countries , Spain , Portugal , France , Italy and Greece , where they are taught as a single continent . The criterion of a discrete landmass is completely disregarded if the continuous landmass of Eurasia is classified as two separate continents : Europe and Asia . Physiographically , Europe and South Asia are peninsulas of the Eurasian landmass . However , Europe is widely considered a continent with its comparatively large land area of 10,180,000 square kilometres ( 3,930,000 sq mi ) , while South Asia , with less than half that area , is considered a subcontinent . The alternative view -- in geology and geography -- that Eurasia is a single continent results in a six - continent view of the world . Some view separation of Eurasia into Asia and Europe as a residue of Eurocentrism : `` In physical , cultural and historical diversity , China and India are comparable to the entire European landmass , not to a single European country . ( ... ) . '' However , for historical and cultural reasons , the view of Europe as a separate continent continues in several categorizations . If continents are defined strictly as discrete landmasses , embracing all the contiguous land of a body , then Africa , Asia , and Europe form a single continent which may be referred to as Afro - Eurasia . This produces a four - continent model consisting of Afro - Eurasia , America , Antarctica and Australia . When sea levels were lower during the Pleistocene ice ages , greater areas of continental shelf were exposed as dry land , forming land bridges . At those times Australia -- New Guinea was a single , continuous continent . Likewise the Americas and Afro - Eurasia were joined by the Bering land bridge . Other islands such as Great Britain were joined to the mainlands of their continents . At that time there were just three discrete continents : Afro - Eurasia - America , Antarctica , and Australia - New Guinea . Number There are several ways of distinguishing the continents : Models Color - coded map showing the various continents . Similar shades exhibit areas that may be consolidated or subdivided . Four continents Afro - Eurasia America Antarctica Australia Five continents Africa Eurasia America Antarctica Australia Six continents Africa Asia Europe America Antarctica Australia Six continents Africa Eurasia North America South America Antarctica Australia / Oceania Seven continents Africa Asia Europe North America South America Antarctica Australia / Oceania The seven - continent model is usually taught in China , India , Pakistan , the Philippines , parts of Western Europe and most English - speaking countries , including Australia and the United Kingdom . The six - continent combined - Eurasia model is mostly used in Russia , Eastern Europe , and Japan . The six - continent combined - America model is often used in France and its former possessions , Italy , Portugal , Spain , Romania , Latin America , and Greece . A five - continent model is obtained from this model by excluding Antarctica as uninhabited . This is used , for example in the United Nations and in the Olympic Charter . The term Oceania refers to a group of island countries and territories in the Pacific Ocean , together with the continent of Australia . Pacific islands with ties to other continents ( such as Japan , Hawaii or Easter Island ) are usually grouped with those continents rather than Oceania . This term is used in several different continental models instead of Australia . Other divisions Supercontinents Aside from the conventionally known continents , the scope and meaning of the term continent varies . Supercontinents , largely in evidence earlier in the geological record , are landmasses that comprise more than one craton or continental core . These have included Laurasia , Gondwana , Vaalbara , Kenorland , Columbia , Rodinia , and Pangaea . Subcontinents Certain parts of continents are recognized as subcontinents , especially the large peninsulas separated from the main continental landmass by geographical features . The most notable examples are the Indian subcontinent and the Arabian Peninsula . The southern cone of South America and Alaskan peninsula of North America are other examples . In many of these cases , the `` subcontinents '' concerned are on different tectonic plates from the rest of the continent , providing a geological justification for the terminology . Greenland , generally reckoned as the world 's largest island on the northeastern periphery of the North American Plate , is sometimes referred to as a subcontinent . This is a significant departure from the more conventional view of a subcontinent as comprising a very large peninsula on the fringe of a continent . Where the Americas are viewed as a single continent ( America ) , it is divided into two subcontinents ( North America and South America ) or three ( with Central America being the third ) . When Eurasia is regarded as a single continent , Europe is treated as a subcontinent . Submerged continents Some areas of continental crust are largely covered by the sea and may be considered submerged continents . Notable examples are Zealandia , emerging from the sea primarily in New Zealand and New Caledonia , and the almost completely submerged Kerguelen Plateau in the southern Indian Ocean . Microcontinents Some islands lie on sections of continental crust that have rifted and drifted apart from a main continental landmass . While not considered continents because of their relatively small size , they may be considered microcontinents . Madagascar , the largest example , is usually considered an island of Africa but has been referred to as `` the eighth continent '' from a biological perspective . Botanical continents `` Botanical continents '' defined by the World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions . `` Continents '' may be defined differently for specific purposes . The Biodiversity Information Standards organization has developed the World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions , used in many international plant databases . This scheme divides the world into nine `` botanical continents '' . Some match the traditional geographical continents , but some differ significantly . Thus the Americas are divided between Northern America ( Mexico northwards ) and Southern America ( Central America and the Caribbean southwards ) rather than between North America and South America . History of continental configurations Main article : Geological history of the Earth History of the concept The Ancient Greek geographer Strabo holding a globe showing Europa and Asia Early concepts of the old world continents The term `` continent '' translates Greek ἤπειρος , properly `` landmass , terra firma '' , the proper name of Epirus and later especially used of Asia ( i.e. Asia Minor ) , The first distinction between continents was made by ancient Greek mariners who gave the names Europe and Asia to the lands on either side of the waterways of the Aegean Sea , the Dardanelles strait , the Sea of Marmara , the Bosporus strait and the Black Sea . The names were first applied just to lands near the coast and only later extended to include the hinterlands . But the division was only carried through to the end of navigable waterways and `` ... beyond that point the Hellenic geographers never succeeded in laying their finger on any inland feature in the physical landscape that could offer any convincing line for partitioning an indivisible Eurasia ... '' Ancient Greek thinkers subsequently debated whether Africa ( then called Libya ) should be considered part of Asia or a third part of the world . Division into three parts eventually came to predominate . From the Greek viewpoint , the Aegean Sea was the center of the world ; Asia lay to the east , Europe to the north and west , and Africa to the south . The boundaries between the continents were not fixed . Early on , the Europe -- Asia boundary was taken to run from the Black Sea along the Rioni River ( known then as the Phasis ) in Georgia . Later it was viewed as running from the Black Sea through Kerch Strait , the Sea of Azov and along the Don River ( known then as the Tanais ) in Russia . The boundary between Asia and Africa was generally taken to be the Nile River . Herodotus in the 5th century BC , however , objected to the unity of Egypt being split into Asia and Africa ( `` Libya '' ) and took the boundary to lie along the western border of Egypt , regarding Egypt as part of Asia . He also questioned the division into three of what is really a single landmass , a debate that continues nearly two and a half millennia later . Eratosthenes , in the 3rd century BC , noted that some geographers divided the continents by rivers ( the Nile and the Don ) , thus considering them `` islands '' . Others divided the continents by isthmuses , calling the continents `` peninsulas '' . These latter geographers set the border between Europe and Asia at the isthmus between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea , and the border between Asia and Africa at the isthmus between the Red Sea and the mouth of Lake Bardawil on the Mediterranean Sea .

Through the Roman period and the Middle Ages , a few writers took the Isthmus of Suez as the boundary between Asia and Africa , but most writers continued to consider it the Nile or the western border of Egypt ( Gibbon ) . In the Middle Ages , the world was usually portrayed on T and O maps , with the T representing the waters dividing the three continents . By the middle of the 18th century , `` the fashion of dividing Asia and Africa at the Nile , or at the Great Catabathmus ( the boundary between Egypt and Libya ) farther west , had even then scarcely passed away '' . European arrival in the Americas Christopher Columbus sailed across the Atlantic Ocean to the West Indies in 1492 , sparking a period of European exploration of the Americas . But despite four voyages to the Americas , Columbus never believed he had reached a new continent -- he always thought it was part of Asia . In 1501 , Amerigo Vespucci and Gonçalo Coelho attempted to sail around what they considered the southern end of the Asian mainland into the Indian Ocean , passing through Fernando de Noronha . After reaching the coast of Brazil , they sailed a long way further south along the coast of South America , confirming that this was a land of continental proportions and that it also extended much further south than Asia was known to . On return to Europe , an account of the voyage , called Mundus Novus ( `` New World '' ) , was published under Vespucci 's name in 1502 or 1503 , although it seems that it had additions or alterations by another writer . Regardless of who penned the words , Mundus Novus credited Vespucci with saying , `` I have discovered a continent in those southern regions that is inhabited by more numerous people and animals than our Europe , or Asia or Africa '' , the first known explicit identification of part of the Americas as a continent like the other three . Within a few years the name `` New World '' began appearing as a name for South America on world maps , such as the Oliveriana ( Pesaro ) map of around 1504 -- 1505 . Maps of this time though , still showed North America connected to Asia and showed South America as a separate land . Universalis Cosmographia , Waldseemüller 's 1507 world map -- the first to show the Americas separate from Asia In 1507 Martin Waldseemüller published a world map , Universalis Cosmographia , which was the first to show North and South America as separate from Asia and surrounded by water . A small inset map above the main map explicitly showed for the first time the Americas being east of Asia and separated from Asia by an ocean , as opposed to just placing the Americas on the left end of the map and Asia on the right end . In the accompanying book Cosmographiae Introductio , Waldseemüller noted that the earth is divided into four parts , Europe , Asia , Africa and the fourth part , which he named `` America '' after Amerigo Vespucci 's first name . On the map , the word `` America '' was placed on part of South America . The word continent From the 16th century the English noun continent was derived from the term continent land , meaning continuous or connected land and translated from the Latin terra continens . The noun was used to mean `` a connected or continuous tract of land '' or mainland . It was not applied only to very large areas of land -- in the 17th century , references were made to the continents ( or mainlands ) of Isle of Man , Ireland and Wales and in 1745 to Sumatra . The word continent was used in translating Greek and Latin writings about the three `` parts '' of the world , although in the original languages no word of exactly the same meaning as continent was used . While continent was used on the one hand for relatively small areas of continuous land , on the other hand geographers again raised Herodotus 's query about why a single large landmass should be divided into separate continents . In the mid-17th century , Peter Heylin wrote in his Cosmographie that `` A Continent is a great quantity of Land , not separated by any Sea from the rest of the World , as the whole Continent of Europe , Asia , Africa . '' In 1727 , Ephraim Chambers wrote in his Cyclopædia , `` The world is ordinarily divided into two grand continents : the old and the new . '' And in his 1752 atlas , Emanuel Bowen defined a continent as `` a large space of dry land comprehending many countries all joined together , without any separation by water . Thus Europe , Asia , and Africa is one great continent , as America is another . '' However , the old idea of Europe , Asia and Africa as `` parts '' of the world ultimately persisted with these being regarded as separate continents . Hollandia Nova , 1659 map prepared by Joan Blaeu based on voyages by Abel Tasman and Willem Jansz , this image shows a French edition of 1663 Beyond four continents From the late 18th century , some geographers started to regard North America and South America as two parts of the world , making five parts in total . Overall though , the fourfold division prevailed well into the 19th century . Europeans discovered Australia in 1606 , but for some time it was taken as part of Asia . By the late 18th century , some geographers considered it a continent in its own right , making it the sixth ( or fifth for those still taking America as a single continent ) . In 1813 , Samuel Butler wrote of Australia as `` New Holland , an immense island , which some geographers dignify with the appellation of another continent '' and the Oxford English Dictionary was just as equivocal some decades later . Antarctica was sighted in 1820 during the First Russian Antarctic Expedition and described as a continent by Charles Wilkes on the United States Exploring Expedition in 1838 , the last continent identified , although a great `` Antarctic '' ( antipodean ) landmass had been anticipated for millennia . An 1849 atlas labelled Antarctica as a continent but few atlases did so until after World War II . From the mid-19th century , atlases published in the United States more commonly treated North and South America as separate continents , while atlases published in Europe usually considered them one continent . However , it was still not uncommon for American atlases to treat them as one continent up until World War II . From the 1950s , most U.S. geographers divided the Americas into two continents . With the addition of Antarctica , this made the seven - continent model . However , this division of the Americas never appealed to Latin Americans , who saw their region spanning an América as a single landmass , and there the conception of six continents remains dominant , as it does in scattered other countries . Some geographers regard Europe and Asia together as a single continent , dubbed Eurasia . In this model , the world is divided into six continents , with North America and South America considered separate continents . Geology This section needs additional citations for verification .

( May 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Further information : Continental crust and Plate tectonics Geologists use the term continent in a different manner from geographers , where a continent is defined by continental crust : a platform of metamorphic and igneous rock , largely of granitic composition . Some geologists restrict the term ' continent ' to portions of the crust built around stable Precambrian `` shield '' , typically 1.5 to 3.8 billion years old , called a craton . The craton itself is an accretionary complex of ancient mobile belts ( mountain belts ) from earlier cycles of subduction , continental collision and break - up from plate tectonic activity . An outward - thickening veneer of younger , minimally deformed sedimentary rock covers much of the craton . The margins of geologic continents are characterized by currently active or relatively recently active mobile belts and deep troughs of accumulated marine or deltaic sediments . Beyond the margin , there is either a continental shelf and drop off to the basaltic ocean basin or the margin of another continent , depending on the current plate - tectonic setting of the continent . A continental boundary does not have to be a body of water . Over geologic time , continents are periodically submerged under large epicontinental seas , and continental collisions result in a continent becoming attached to another continent . The current geologic era is relatively anomalous in that so much of the continental areas are `` high and dry '' ; that is , many parts of the continents that were once below sea level are now elevated well above it due to changes in sea levels and the subsequent uplifting of those continental areas from tectonic activity . The tectonic plates underlying the continents and oceans Some argue that continents are accretionary crustal `` rafts '' that , unlike the denser basaltic crust of the ocean basins , are not subjected to destruction through the plate tectonic process of subduction . This accounts for the great age of the rocks comprising the continental cratons . By this definition , Eastern Europe , India and some other regions could be regarded as continental masses distinct from the rest of Eurasia because they have separate ancient shield areas ( i.e. East European craton and Indian craton ) . Younger mobile belts ( such as the Ural Mountains and Himalayas ) mark the boundaries between these regions and the rest of Eurasia . There are many microcontinents , or continental fragments , that are built of continental crust but do not contain a craton . Some of these are fragments of Gondwana or other ancient cratonic continents : Zealandia , which includes New Zealand and New Caledonia ; Madagascar ; the northern Mascarene Plateau , which includes the Seychelles . Other islands , such as several in the Caribbean Sea , are composed largely of granitic rock as well , but all continents contain both granitic and basaltic crust , and there is no clear boundary as to which islands would be considered microcontinents under such a definition . The Kerguelen Plateau , for example , is largely volcanic , but is associated with the breakup of Gondwanaland and is considered a microcontinent , whereas volcanic Iceland and Hawaii are not . The British Isles , Sri Lanka , Borneo , and Newfoundland are margins of the Laurasian continent -- only separated by inland seas flooding its margins . Plate tectonics offers yet another way of defining continents . Today , Europe and most of Asia constitute the unified Eurasian Plate , which is approximately coincident with the geographic Eurasian continent excluding India , Arabia , and far eastern Russia . India contains a central shield , and the geologically recent Himalaya mobile belt forms its northern margin . North America and South America are separate continents , the connecting isthmus being largely the result of volcanism from relatively recent subduction tectonics . North American continental rocks extend to Greenland ( a portion of the Canadian Shield ) , and in terms of plate boundaries , the North American plate includes the easternmost portion of the Asian land mass . Geologists do not use these facts to suggest that eastern Asia is part of the North American continent , even though the plate boundary extends there ; the word continent is usually used in its geographic sense and additional definitions ( `` continental rocks , '' `` plate boundaries '' ) are used as appropriate . The movement of plates has caused the formation and break - up of continents over time , including occasional formation of a supercontinent that contains most or all of the continents . The supercontinent Columbia or Nuna formed during a period of 2.0 -- 1.8 billion years and broke up about 1.5 -- 1.3 billion years ago . The supercontinent Rodinia is thought to have formed about 1 billion years ago and to have embodied most or all of Earth 's continents , and broken up into eight continents around 600 million years ago . The eight continents later re-assembled into another supercontinent called Pangaea ; Pangaea broke up into Laurasia ( which became North America and Eurasia ) and Gondwana ( which became the remaining continents ) . Highest and lowest points See also : Extremes on Earth , Extreme points of Earth , and Seven Summits The following table lists the seven continents with their highest and lowest points on land , sorted in decreasing highest points .

The lowest non-submarine bedrock elevations in these continents are the trough beneath Jakobshavn Glacier ( − 1,512 metres ( − 4,961 ft ) ) and Bentley Subglacial Trench ( − 2,540 metres ( − 8,330 ft ) ) , but these are covered by kilometers of ice . Some sources list the Kuma -- Manych Depression ( a remnant of the Paratethys ) as the geological border between Europe and Asia . This would place the Caucasus outside of Europe , thus making Mont Blanc ( elevation 4810 m ) in the Graian Alps the highest point in Europe - the lowest point would still be the shore of the Caspian Sea .

The basis of the claim cites that the band began working on a new album without Prospect Park 's consent and will be working with Rise Records . In a recent interview , vocalist Ivan Moody has said he will be completing the current tour and leave the band at the end of 2017 . The next day however , an announcement was published on the official site of FFDP , where it was revealed , that rumours about Ivan 's departure are false . According to the announcement , the vocalist plans to start a side project beside Five Finger Death Punch , which does not mean he has plans on leaving . However , during a concert in The Netherlands , Moody did n't show up to perform the first song , which were sung by Tommy Vext , with Moody saying he was running `` a little bit late '' . Vext also sung a second song during the set later in the evening whilst Moody walked off stage . During the show all of the members left the stage for long periods on several occasions , and Hook also threw his guitar down and walked offstage at one point . During the set , Moody said that `` there is no other singer for Five Finger Death Punch '' , and then later said `` This is my last show with Five Finger Death Punch '' before making a slit - throat gesture . Bathory shortly after the show tweeted that the events that transpired were `` not a publicity stunt . '' The day after the show in Tilburg , Netherlands , the band announced a headline European tour with In Flames and Of Mice And Men in late 2017 . Later that same day , the band released a statement addressing what happened at the show via their Facebook page , stating that bands that tour as heavily as they do will `` inevitably have a few derailments , but the train always keeps on moving '' , implying that all shows will proceed as planned and that Moody will remain as the band 's frontman . Ivan Moody has checked himself in rehab and will sit out the current tour . Tommy Vext will be filling in for Moody as he seeks treatment . On August 19 , Ivan Moody returned to the stage at the Illinois State Fair , although just days prior it was still unknown if he would be taking the stage . In December 2017 , it was announced that the band was working on their seventh studio album . The album title , And Justice for None , was later announced and is set to be released May 18 , 2018 . On December 21 , 2017 , the band released a video for their cover of `` Gone Away '' by The Offspring . The cover song was featured on Five Finger Death Punch 's greatest hits album , A Decade Of Destruction . On April 5 , 2018 , the band released `` Fake '' as the lead single from And Justice for None . On April 20 , 2018 , a second single was released , titled `` Sham Pain . '' A third single `` When the Seasons Change '' was released on May 4 , 2018 . Musical style and influences ( edit ) `` American Capitalist '' ( 2011 ) Amy Sciarretto of Loudwire wrote that the title track of Five Finger Death Punch 's album American Capitalist `` could get a crew of Marine cadets through boot camp '' . Problems playing this file ? See media help . Five Finger Death Punch 's musical style has generally been regarded as heavy metal , groove metal , thrash metal , alternative metal and hard rock . Thom Jurek of AllMusic wrote that Five Finger Death Punch 's `` instantly recognizable sound is comprised of equal parts melodic and meaty guitar riffs , fat vamps , catchy hooks , tight , flashy solos , and hard - grooving bass and drums '' . Five Finger Death Punch vocalist Ivan Moody 's vocals are usually singing and screaming . The band has also released successful ballads , as well . Bathory described Five Finger Death Punch as `` a straight - up heavy metal band with a hint of thrash metal -- maybe a hint of the Euro stuff in there '' and then said , `` that 's pretty much what we are '' . Spencer described Five Finger Death Punch as `` kind of like stepping on a garden rake while looking at a supermodel . Blissful yet fucking devastating '' . He then said , `` We have an energy and a rhythmical style that 's different than what 's happening out there . We have songs that grab you and stay with you and rip your face off . Hooks , balls , melodies and energy -- that 's us '' . Five Finger Death Punch guitarist Zoltan Bathory cited Pantera as an influence . Ivan Moody cited vocalists such as Mike Patton , Phil Anselmo , Layne Staley and Lynn Strait as influences . Moody also said , `` Pantera is one of our biggest influences '' . Jeremy Spencer cited drummers such as Lars Ulrich , Dave Lombardo , Gene Hoglan , Dave Grohl , Buddy Rich and Tommy Aldridge as influences . Spencer also cited Prince and David Bowie as influences .

Both Meg and her mother Kate believe he solved the question of humanity 's existence and theorize he was teleported to another world . During the night , Meg 's younger brother Charles Wallace welcomes a stranger in a large white dress named Mrs. Whatsit into the Murry family house . She mentions the tesseract , a type of space - travel Alex was working on , is real , and leaves soon after . The next day , one of Meg 's classmates , Calvin O'Keefe , joins them to go to the house of Mrs. Who , another strange woman who speaks only in quotations and seems to know Charles Wallace . When Calvin joins Meg and Charles Wallace in their backyard , Mrs. Whatsit appears with Mrs. Who and another woman , Mrs. Which , who is the oldest and appears as a giant . The three reveal themselves as astral travelers , and lead Meg , Calvin , and Charles Wallace through a tesseract taking them to a distant planet named Uriel . Mrs. Whatsit transforms into a beautiful green creature , and takes the children up into the atmosphere , where they see a dark shadow known as The IT . Mrs. Which tells Meg her father 's experiments resulted in his being captured by The IT , a malevolent entity plotting to take over the universe . Gaining the women 's trust , Meg and the others tesser to another planet where a seer known as the Happy Medium resides . The Happy Medium shows them Meg 's father is trapped on a planet called Camazotz , The IT 's homeworld . Mrs. Which also explains The IT represents all of the greed , anger , pride , selfishness , and low self - esteem in the world . Showing them examples of these characteristics , Meg learns that while Calvin is popular at school , he is neglected and bullied by his father and her school enemy Veronica Kiley is extremely self - conscious . The three Mrs. propose they travel back to Earth to regroup , but Meg 's strong will to find her father overrides the tesseract , and she accidentally redirects them to Camazotz instead . Upon arriving on Camazotz , Mrs. Which , Mrs. Whatsit , and Mrs. Who are unable to stay because Camazotz 's evil is stronger than their light . Before they depart , they bestow gifts upon Meg ; these include Mrs. Who 's glasses , the knowledge of Meg 's faults , and the command to never separate . The trio treks through Camazotz 's hazardous traps before reaching a crowded beach where they meet the IT 's bodyguard , Red . He offers the starving children food and tells them Alex is safe and happy . He reveals to them there is nothing to worry about here , but Calvin and Meg realize something is wrong when Charles Wallace proclaims all of the food tastes like sand . When Red starts repeating the times tables , Charles Wallace is hypnotized by the rhythm , allowing the IT to take full control of his mind . When Meg and Calvin pursue Charles Wallace , they find themselves in a seemingly empty room . Using Mrs. Who 's glasses , Meg finds an invisible staircase leading to the room where her father is being kept prisoner . After bringing him out of captivity , the IT 's power allows Charles Wallace to forcefully drag them to finally meet his master . As Calvin and Meg fall under the IT 's power , Alex opens another tesser and prepares to leave with the children , abandoning Charles Wallace . Meg refuses and projects out of the tesser herself , leaving her alone . When she confronts Charles Wallace in corruption , she realizes the IT uses deception and hatred for power . Using her love for her brother and the knowledge she is imperfect , Meg frees Charles Wallace from the control of the IT and releases the control of Camazotz from the evil entity . The three Mrs. return and tell Meg her time is here to tesser for herself . Returning home , Meg thanks the women for their help and for rescuing her father and they part ways , while Veronica becomes nice to her . The film ends with the Murry family celebrating a joyful reunion and Calvin going home to confront his father .

In October 2010 , it was announced that Walt Disney Pictures had retained the film rights for the 1962 novel A Wrinkle in Time , by Madeleine L'Engle , which had previously been made as a 2003 television film .

Schliessler was the film 's cinematographer , Naomi Shohan its production designer , Paco Delgado its costume designer , and Rich McBride its visual effects supervisor . During production , DuVernay asked McBride to be as flexible as possible on visual effects sequences to allow her to make changes and incorporate new ideas during shooting . Filming for A Wrinkle in Time took place in multiple locations including Eureka , California , in Humboldt County , starting on November 29 , 2016 . Filming also took place at Eureka 's Sequoia Park , located next to Sequoia Park Zoo . None of the film 's major actors were present in Eureka .

Actors and crew involved were in New Zealand for the two weeks to shoot scenes in the Southern Alps , including at Hunter Valley Station near Lake Hāwea , with cast and crew treated to a traditional Māori powhiri and karakia .

With a combined $250 million spent on production and advertisement , the film needed to gross at least $400 million worldwide to turn a profit . Following Disney 's Q2 earnings report in May 2018 , Yahoo ! Finance deduced the film would lose the studio anywhere from $86 -- 186 million . In the United States and Canada , A Wrinkle in Time was released alongside The Hurricane Heist , Gringo and The Strangers : Prey at Night , and was projected to gross $30 -- 38 million from 3,980 theaters in its opening weekend .

Internationally the film opened in six countries alongside the United States and grossed $6.3 million in its opening weekend , Russia being the largest market with $4.1 million . Critical response ( edit ) On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes , the film holds an approval rating of 39 % , based on 244 reviews , and an average rating of 5.2 / 10 . The website 's critical consensus reads , `` A Wrinkle in Time is visually gorgeous , big - hearted , and occasionally quite moving ; unfortunately , it 's also wildly ambitious to a fault , and often less than the sum of its classic parts . '' On Metacritic , which assigns normalized rating to reviews , the film has a weighted average score of 53 out of 100 , based on 50 critics , indicating `` mixed or average reviews '' . Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` B '' on an A+ to F scale , while PostTrak reported filmgoers gave it a 75 % overall positive score ; audience members under the age of 18 gave it a respective average grade of `` A -- '' and positive score of 89 % . Alonso Duralde of TheWrap praised the film 's visuals and performances , writing , `` Awash in bold colors , bright patterns and ebullient kids , director Ava DuVernay 's new take on A Wrinkle in Time dazzles its way across time and space even if it does n't quite stick the landing . '' David Ehrlich of IndieWire gave the film a `` C + '' and praised what he described as its ambition , saying : `` It almost does n't matter that the movie is too emotionally prescriptive to have any real power , or too high on imagination to leave any room for wonder ; DuVernay evinces such faith in who she is and what she 's doing that A Wrinkle in Time remains true to itself even when everything on screen reads false . '' Alex Hudson of Exclaim ! gave the film a 5 out of 10 , saying that it felt `` like a missed opportunity . Rather than a family classic , all we get is a perfectly fine kids movie . '' Vince Mancini of Uproxx gave the film a negative review , saying , `` ... if anything , the trouble with Wrinkle is that you never really get a sense of DuVernay 's personal touch . In fact , it feels a lot like Brad Bird 's big budget , equally smarmy 2015 Disney film , Tomorrowland . Both attempt to be so broad and universal that they feel disconnected from anything human . But universality does n't work that way , no matter how much you tell everyone to think like a kid .

4905313480839703898 | I Love You Truly | I Love You Truly - wikipedia I Love You Truly `` I Love You Truly '' 1906 sheet music cover Parlor song Published 1901 , 1906 Songwriter ( s ) Carrie Jacobs - Bond `` I Love You Truly '' is a parlor song written by Carrie Jacobs - Bond . Since its publication in 1901 it has been sung at weddings , recorded by numerous artists over many decades , and heard on film and television . Contents 1 History 2 Recordings 3 Other media 4 Lyrics 5 Note 6 References 7 External links History ( edit ) Carrie Jacobs - Bond began to write songs in 1894 to supplement the income of her husband , Frank Bond . When he died in 1895 , she returned briefly to her hometown of Janesville , Wisconsin , where `` I Love You Truly '' was written . She then moved to Chicago where she painted china and rented out rooms to make ends meet . There she continued to write songs and eventually sought to publish them herself . With the encouragement and assistance of friends , including a loan from contralto Jessie Bartlett Davis , in 1901 she published a sheet music collection of her compositions called Seven Songs as Unpretentious as the Wild Rose , one of which was `` I Love You Truly '' . She published it again as a separate song in 1906 , at the same time correcting an oversight and filing for copyright . It sold over a million copies , one of the earliest songs composed by a woman to achieve that distinction . `` I Love You Truly '' was categorized as a `` high - class ballad '' , a genre of the period applied to serious ballads that were suitable for cultured venues as opposed to vaudeville . It became a standard at wedding ceremonies . It also became a mainstay of barbershop harmony arrangers and singers . Jacobs - Bond was invited to sing at the White House by three presidents , and each time sang `` I Love You Truly '' . Recordings ( edit ) The song was a hit record for Elsie Baker in 1912 ( Victor B - 12069 ) . It has been recorded by numerous artists , including Sophie Braslau ( 1916 ) , Dusolina Giannini ( 1926 ) , Al Bowlly ( 1934 ) , Bing Crosby ( 1934 and 1945 ) , Erskine Hawkins ( 1942 ) , Helen Traubel ( 1946 ) , Jeanette MacDonald ( 1947 ) , a 1951 duet by Jo Stafford and Nelson Eddy , and Pat Boone in a 1962 duet with his wife Shirley . Jill Paquette DeZwaan covers the song on the soundtrack for the film The Song ( 2014 ) . Other media ( edit ) As early as 1929 the song was heard in the comedy movie Wise Girls and has since been heard in numerous movies . The song was also sung by Bert ( Ward Bond ) and Ernie ( Frank Faylen ) as they serenaded George ( James Stewart ) and Mary Bailey ( Donna Reed ) on their wedding night in It 's a Wonderful Life ( 1946 ) . It was heard in the film I Married a Witch ( 1942 ) when it was played by the wedding band and sung by Helen St. Rayner several times . In the film Hells Angels on Wheels ( 1967 ) the members of the motorcycle gang sing a tuneless , mocking version of the song at the wedding of Abigail and Gypsy . In the romantic drama The Song ( 2014 ) , the characters Jed and Rose are seen watching this same scene from It 's A Wonderful Life on television , and the song is sung at their wedding by Jill Paquette DeZwaan . It has also been heard on television sitcoms , often for comic effect . In the first - season episode of I Love Lucy `` The Marriage License '' ( 1952 ) , it was sung by Mrs. Willoughby ( Elizabeth Patterson ) , and in the seventh - season episode of All in the Family `` The Unemployment Story : Part 1 '' ( 1976 ) , it was sung by Edith Bunker ( Jean Stapleton ) . In the seventh - season episode of Boy Meets World `` It 's About Time '' ( 1999 ) , Amy Matthews ( Betsy Randle ) sang the song . Lyrics ( edit ) I Love You Truly Sung by Elsie Baker , 1912 Problems playing this file ? See media help . I love you truly , truly dear , Life with its sorrow , life with its tear Fades into dreams when I feel you are near For I love you truly , truly dear . Ah ! Love , ' tis something to feel your kind hand Ah ! Yes , ' tis something by your side to stand ; Gone is the sorrow , gone doubt and fear , For you love me truly , truly dear .

General contractor Barton Malow / Hunt / White Tenants Detroit Red Wings ( NHL ) ( 2017 -- present ) Detroit Pistons ( NBA ) ( 2017 -- present ) Little Caesars Arena is a multi-purpose arena in Midtown Detroit . Construction began on April 24 , 2015 , following a formal groundbreaking ceremony on September 25 , 2014 . Opened on September 5 , 2017 , the arena , which cost $862.9 million to construct , succeeded both Joe Louis Arena and The Palace of Auburn Hills as the homes of the Detroit Red Wings of the National Hockey League ( NHL ) and the Detroit Pistons of the National Basketball Association ( NBA ) , respectively . The arena features a unique , glass - roofed concourse connecting it to offices and shops surrounding it . It anchors a new $2.1 billion 650,000 - square - foot ( 60,000 m ) sports and entertainment district in and around downtown Detroit that will include mixed - use neighborhoods with new residential and retail outlets located around the Cass Corridor , Ford Field , and Comerica Park .

Buildings housing retail outlets , the arena 's box office , and the offices of the Red Wings are built outside the arena , but a glass roof is erected between the buildings and the arena itself . The roof forms an indoor `` street '' that serves as the arena 's concourse . The concourse will remain open year - round , even if an event is not occurring inside the arena , allowing it to also be used as a venue of its own . There is also an outdoor plaza with a large video display . The eight - story arena is built as a bowl , with its floor 40 feet ( 12 m ) below street level with seating capacities of 19,515 for ice hockey and 20,491 for basketball . The bowl also features a `` gondola '' seating level suspended above the stands . The exterior of the bowl structure is capable of displaying video projections . A 37,300 - square - foot ( 3,470 m ) practice ice rink is also inside the arena . In addition to serving as the practice facility for the Red Wings , the rink serves as the home of both Little Caesars AAA Hockey Club and Little Caesars Amateur Hockey League as well . The Bell Centre in Montreal has been cited to be one of the biggest influences of the arena 's design . Christopher Ilitch described the arena 's design as being `` revolutionary '' , and believes that it may influence future arena designs in other cities . The arena features a centerhung scoreboard that measures at 5,100 square feet . The arena also features 45 LED displays covering more than 13,500 square feet and 16.5 million plus LEDs in and around it . History ( edit ) Rumors and announcement ( edit ) Comerica Park and Ford Field ( pictured ) were incorporated into a `` Wildcat Corner '' district near the new arena It was reported in May 2012 that the Red Wings had hired HKS , Inc. and NBBJ to design a new arena for the team , which would replace the 33 - year - old Joe Louis Arena as their home ice . The new arena would be owned by the city 's Downtown Development Authority and its land would be leased to Olympia Entertainment , a subsidiary of the Red Wings ' parent company , Ilitch Holdings , rent free for a long term . Olympia would have full operational control of the arena , an arrangement similar to the one Olympia had with the city - owned Joe Louis Arena . Sales of game tickets , parking , concessions , souvenirs , and any potential naming rights deals would not be subject to revenue sharing with the City of Detroit as they were with Joe Louis Arena . The city earned an average of $7 million per year through these revenue sharing agreements . Olympia Entertainment officially announced in December 2012 its intention to develop a new district in downtown Detroit composed of offices , residential facilities , and `` a new state - of - the - art , multi-purpose events center '' , with an estimated cost of $650 million . In June 2013 , the Downtown Development Authority officially announced the location of the new Detroit Red Wings arena and entertainment district . On July 24 , 2013 , the Michigan Strategic Fund approved the Downtown Development Authority 's request for $650 million in funding . Christopher Ilitch unveiled renderings of the new arena and entertainment district on July 20 , 2014 , referring to it as `` The District Detroit '' . He explained that the project 's goal was to `` build out a sports and entertainment district that is world - class and rivals anything in the country , perhaps the world . '' The district , which would complement the QLINE streetcar , was primarily built on vacant land near the Cass Corridor along Woodward Avenue , and would incorporate five distinct neighborhoods with new residential and apartment units and European - influenced designs . The district would also feature a hotel , new restaurants , and new retail outlets . Olympia Development would fund the refurbishment of public infrastructure around the arena district , such as street lighting , sidewalks , and paving . One of the neighborhoods , referred to by Ilitch as `` Wildcat Corner '' , would incorporate the area occupied by the Tigers and Lions ' home venues of Comerica Park and Ford Field , respectively , and replace several parking lots with new apartment complexes featuring street - level retail outlets . Ilitch emphasized the impact of the arena district project would have on Detroit 's economy : the new facilities would result in 1,000 new jobs in the city , and 8,300 new jobs would be created for the construction process . Olympia was committed to having 51 % of the construction jobs be filled by residents of Detroit . Additionally , two Michigan - based contractors would be among those working on the arena , and 80 % of the materials used in the construction of the arena was also to be sourced from Michigan - based companies when possible . Olympia Entertainment CEO Tom Wilson described an intent for the arena to be an `` epicenter '' for hockey , prospecting it as a site for events and tournaments at the college and junior levels such as the IIHF World Junior Championship and the Memorial Cup . Wilson also stated its commitment to continue hosting the annual collegiate Great Lakes Invitational at the arena , provided the universities involved maintained their desire to participate . Construction ( edit ) Construction in progress in June 2016 A formal groundbreaking ceremony was held at the arena site on September 25 , 2014 . Following the completion of the new arena , Joe Louis Arena will be demolished , and its former site will be redeveloped into a hotel and retail complex . The sale of the Joe Louis Arena site comes as part of a bankruptcy settlement between the Financial Guaranty Insurance Company and the city of Detroit . Mass excavation at the arena site began on April 24 , 2015 , a few days after Detroit City Council approved a zoning change , allowing vertical construction to officially commence . The Detroit Historic District Commission approved the demolition of the Park Avenue Hotel on June 10 , 2015 to make room for what will be the arena 's loading dock . Olympia Development claimed that the Park Avenue Hotel stood in a high - security area . A demolition permit was issued on June 22 , 2015 . Detroit - based Adamo Demolition was the contractor listed on the permit . Despite protests , the building was imploded on July 11 , 2015 . On August 30 , 2015 , Olympia Entertainment announced that an estimated 488,000 cubic yards of soil had been excavated in recent months for the below - grade bowl , and hundreds of deep pier foundations were being drilled and filled with concrete through September . The steel frame of the arena began to go up in late fall . Construction of the ice surface began on January 5 , 2017 . On February 16 , 2017 , various construction changes began inside the arena in order to accommodate the Detroit Pistons . Construction of the ice rink began on March 8 , 2017 . Pistons ' move ( edit ) In late October 2016 , it was reported that the Detroit Pistons were considering a move from The Palace of Auburn Hills to Little Caesars Arena as soon as the 2017 -- 18 season , pending city and league approval . Pistons owner Tom Gores , Palace Sports & Entertainment vice chairman Arn Tellem , and Olympia Entertainment had been in negotiations over a partnership since the summer of 2015 , with talks intensifying just as the Pistons were set to open their 2016 -- 17 season ; the terms also included a possible merger between Olympia and the Pistons ' holding company Palace Sports & Entertainment . Finally , the Pistons sought land to construct a new headquarters and practice facility within the vicinity of the arena . On November 22 , 2016 , it was officially announced that the Pistons would move to Little Caesars Arena starting with the 2017 -- 18 season . On June 20 , 2017 , Detroit City Council approved the Pistons ' move to Little Caesars Arena . On August 3 , 2017 , the NBA Board of Governors unanimously approved the move , which made it official . This marked the first time since 1974 that all four major sports teams played in the city limits on a regular basis , and the first time since 1978 that the Pistons played in the city of Detroit on a regular basis . The move also marked the first time since 1961 that they and the Red Wings shared the same arena on a regular basis . On October 8 , 2017 , as a byproduct of the move , entertainment bookings and event management at the venues owned by both companies , including Little Caesars Arena , were assumed by 313 Presents LLC , a joint venture between Olympia and Palace Sports & Entertainment . Opening ( edit ) Interior in ice hockey configuration . Little Caesars Arena opened on September 5 , 2017 with a ribbon cutting ceremony . The Red Wings played their inaugural game at Little Caesars Arena during the preseason against the Boston Bruins on September 23 , 2017 . They won the game 5 -- 1 . They played their first regular season game at the arena on October 5 , 2017 against the Minnesota Wild . The Red Wings won the game 4 -- 2 . The Pistons played their inaugural game at Little Caesars Arena during the preseason against the Charlotte Hornets on October 4 , 2017 . They lost the game 108 -- 106 . Their regular season home opener , also against the Hornets , was played on October 18 , 2017 . The Pistons beat the Hornets 102 -- 90 . In the inaugural season of Little Caesars Arena , concerns were raised over diminished attendance of Red Wings and Pistons games . During the Red Wings ' first regular season game at the arena , the sight of a half empty lower bowl was noticeable due to it being nationally televised . When asked about this , Olympia CEO Tom Wilson explained that many fans went to the concourse to check out the arena , noting that the same thing happened during the first event . In early November 2017 , the team announced that all of the home games played at that point were sellouts despite the sight of empty seats . Like the Red Wings , the Pistons have had similar issues . When asked about it , they stated that ticket sales were up despite the empty seats . Budget ( edit ) It was originally announced that Little Caesars Arena would cost $450 million to construct , on top of an additional $200 million for constructing the new district . $285 million of the total $650 million cost would be public funds , with $365.5 million in private funding . On May 23 , 2017 , it was reported that the cost of the new arena had risen to $862.9 million . In June 2017 , a lawsuit was filed by Robert Davis and city clerk candidate D. Etta Wilcoxon , seeking to prohibit the use of school property tax revenue to fund Little Caesars Arena and the new Pistons headquarters without a public vote . The money had originally been approved by voters only for use by Detroit Public Schools Community District to cover operational expenses . District Judge Mark A. Goldsmith dismissed much of the suit , ruling that the plaintiffs lacked standing to sue over the issue . The judge did , however , allow an unrelated count , alleging violations of the Equal Protection Clause by the DPSCD against Davis , to move forward . Naming rights ( edit ) On February 11 , 2016 , it was reported that a local businessman had sold the domain name `` littlecaesarsarena.com '' three weeks earlier to an international brokerage firm for `` five figures '' , which suggested that Little Caesars , a pizza chain also owned by the Ilitch family , had acquired the naming rights to the new arena . Olympia Entertainment officially announced on April 28 , 2016 that the venue would be known as Little Caesars Arena . It was also revealed that a large Little Caesars logo would be displayed on the arena 's roof ; the previous plan for the LED roof was dismissed as being a `` placeholder '' . Chris Ilitch defended the decision of not selling the naming rights to a third - party company , arguing that it was meant to reflect Little Caesars ' position as a `` legacy business '' of the Ilitch family . The announcement was poorly - received . Prior to the unveiling of the official name , some fans suggested to The Detroit News that the arena should have been named after Gordie Howe . Following Howe 's death on June 10 , 2016 , an online petition began to circulate requesting that Little Caesars Arena be renamed in honor of the former Red Wings player . A number of nicknames have emerged for the venue , including `` The Pizzarena '' , `` The Pizza Box '' , `` The Pizza Palace '' , `` The Oven '' , and `` The DoughJoe '' . Events ( edit ) Ice Hockey ( edit ) In February 2017 , NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman stated that the NHL All - Star Game would likely return to Detroit for the first time since 1980 once construction of The District Detroit is completed . The 2020 NCAA Men 's Frozen Four will be held at Little Caesars Arena , hosted by Michigan State University . Basketball ( edit ) The first regular season college basketball games held at Little Caesars Arena were played on December 16 , 2017 , with a doubleheader featuring the Michigan Wolverines playing the Detroit Mercy Titans , and the Michigan State Spartans playing the Oakland Golden Grizzlies . Little Caesars Arena has hosted the Horizon League 's men 's and women 's basketball tournaments since 2018 . Detroit began hosting the men 's tournament at Joe Louis Arena in 2016 under a 5 - year deal , and the women 's tournament in 2017 . First and second - round games during the 2018 NCAA Division I Men 's Basketball Tournament were played at played at Little Caesars Arena , hosted by the University of Detroit Mercy . Although the nearby Palace of Auburn Hills hosted preliminary rounds of the Tournament in 2013 , this was the Tournament 's first visit to Detroit since the city hosted the 2009 Final Four at Ford Field . The Tournament will return to the arena in 2021 . Combat Sports ( edit ) Little Caesars Arena hosted UFC 218 on December 2 , 2017 . The 2022 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships will be held at the arena , hosted by the University of Michigan . Figure Skating ( edit ) Little Caesars Arena will host the 2019 U.S. Figure Skating Championships . Professional wrestling ( edit ) Little Caesars Arena during Hell in a Cell . Little Caesars Arena hosted the WWE pay - per - view Hell in a Cell on October 8 , 2017 , followed by its first Raw broadcast on March 12 , 2018 . Concerts ( edit ) See also : List of entertainment events at the Little Caesars Arena Reception ( edit ) This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( June 2018 ) In June 2018 , the arena was named `` Sports Facility of the Year '' at the 2018 Sports Business Awards .

The Buccaneers defeated the Raiders by the score of 48 -- 21 , tied with Super Bowl XXXV for the seventh largest Super Bowl margin of victory , and winning their first ever Super Bowl . The game , played on January 26 , 2003 at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego , California , was the sixth Super Bowl to be held a week after the conference championship games ( XVII , XXV , XXVIII , XXXIV , and XXXVI ) . It was also the last Super Bowl played in the month of January . This was the first Super Bowl in which the league 's number one - ranked offense ( Raiders ) faced the league 's number one - ranked defense ( Buccaneers ) . The game sometimes is referred to as the `` Gruden Bowl '' , because the primary storyline surrounding the game revolved around Jon Gruden . Gruden was the Raiders ' head coach from 1998 to 2001 , and then became the Buccaneers coach in 2002 . Tampa Bay , `` Gruden 's new team '' , made their first Super Bowl appearance in team history after posting a 12 -- 4 regular season record . Oakland , `` Gruden 's old team '' , advanced to their fifth Super Bowl after an 11 -- 5 regular season . Super Bowl XXXVII is also referred to as the `` Pirate Bowl '' , due to both teams ' pirate - themed names . The Raiders came into the game as four - point favorites . However , the Tampa Bay defense dominated the contest . Oakland quarterback Rich Gannon threw a Super Bowl record five interceptions , three of which were returned for touchdowns . The Buccaneers also sacked Gannon five times , and scored 34 consecutive points to build a 34 -- 3 lead late in the third quarter . Tampa Bay safety Dexter Jackson , who had two of those interceptions and returned them for 34 yards , was named Super Bowl MVP. Jackson became only the second safety and third defensive back named Super Bowl MVP .

The 49ers had recently announced plans for a new stadium , and were awarded the Super Bowl contingent on its completion . However , the stadium plans had stalled by the fall of 1998 and the NFL reopened the bidding for the game . San Diego , which had lost out on Super Bowl XXXVI , announced its interest . The city was awarded the game during the May 26 , 1999 meeting at Atlanta . Miami was the only other city in consideration . It was the last Super Bowl played in California until Super Bowl 50 at Levi 's Stadium in Santa Clara . It was the also the final Super Bowl at Qualcomm Stadium before the Chargers relocated to Los Angeles in 2017 . Later in 2003 , California would host the Stanley Cup Finals with the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim hosting games 3 , 4 , and 6 , making it only the second time that the same state hosted both the Super Bowl and the Stanley Cup Finals in the same year , following California itself ten years earlier , when the Los Angeles Kings went to the Finals four months after Pasadena hosted Super Bowl XXVII . It was then succeeded by itself again in 2016 when Super Bowl 50 took place in San Francisco and the San Jose Sharks made the Stanley Cup Finals . Jon Gruden helps rebuild the Raiders ( edit ) After moving back to Oakland , California in 1995 , the Raiders suffered sub-par seasons , including a 4 -- 12 record in 1997 . Under Gruden 's leadership , the Raiders improved to 8 -- 8 in both 1998 and 1999 . The team was further boosted in 1999 with the signing of veteran quarterback Rich Gannon . With Gannon as quarterback , the team jumped to the fifth - best offense in the league . The Raiders won the AFC West in 2000 with a 12 -- 4 record and the best rushing offense in the league . However , they lost the AFC Championship Game to the eventual Super Bowl XXXV champion Baltimore Ravens , 16 -- 3 . After signing veteran Pro Bowl wide receiver Jerry Rice and defensive tackle Trace Armstrong , the team repeated as AFC West champions in 2001 , but were eliminated in the AFC Divisional Game by the eventual Super Bowl XXXVI champion New England Patriots in what became known as the `` Tuck Rule Game '' , in which a potential game - ending fumble recovery by the Raiders was overturned by instant replay . Gruden is `` traded '' to the Buccaneers ( edit ) Further information : 2002 Tampa Bay Buccaneers season Raiders owner Al Davis was known to have the lowest salaries for coaches in the league , and Gruden was no exception . Instead of paying a high salary for Gruden , Davis opted to trade the rights for Gruden to the Buccaneers in exchange for four draft picks , in a deal similar to what Patriots owner Robert Kraft made with the New York Jets to get head coach Bill Belichick in 2000 . The Buccaneers ended up giving two first - round picks , two second - round picks and $8 million to the Raiders to get Gruden . Tampa Bay was desperate to have someone rebuild their offense so it would complement their powerful defense in an attempt to win the Super Bowl . For most of their history , the Buccaneers were regarded as losers , making the playoffs only three times in their first 20 seasons . But that changed when the team hired Tony Dungy as head coach in 1996 . Dungy , along with his defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin , rebuilt the defense around a core group of players , such as defensive lineman Warren Sapp , linebacker Derrick Brooks , and defensive backs Ronde Barber and John Lynch . By 1997 , Tampa Bay ranked 3rd in the league in total yards allowed , 2nd in 1998 , and 3rd in 2000 . With one of the best defenses in the league , Dungy helped guide the Buccaneers to four playoff appearances in his six years as the team 's head coach . But the team always had one of the worst offenses in the league , and this was a major factor in their playoff losses . Thus , Dungy was fired and replaced by Gruden . Still , even Gruden had trouble getting the offense in sync during his first year as Tampa Bay 's head coach . In 2002 , the Buccaneers ranked 25th in the league in total yards gained ( 5,222 ) . Quarterback Brad Johnson made the Pro Bowl , completing 281 out of 451 passes for 3,049 yards , 22 touchdowns , and only 6 interceptions . Running back Michael Pittman led the team in rushing with 718 yards and one touchdown , and caught 59 passes for 477 yards . Pro Bowl fullback Mike Alstott had 548 rushing yards and 5 touchdowns , and also had 35 receptions for 242 yards and 2 touchdowns . Wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson led the team with 76 receptions for 1,088 yards and 5 touchdowns , while wide receiver Keenan McCardell had 61 receptions for 670 yards and 6 touchdowns . However , the Buccaneers ' defense was still the strength of the team , leading the NFL in total defense ( 252.8 yards per game ) , pass defense ( 155.6 yards per game ) , points allowed ( 12.3 points per game ) , passing touchdowns allowed ( 10 ) , interceptions ( 31 ) , and opponent passer rating ( 48.4 ) . Brooks , Lynch , Sapp , and defensive end Simeon Rice all had Pro Bowl years . Brooks led the team with 87 tackles and excelled at pass coverage , recording 5 interceptions , 218 return yards , and 2 touchdowns , plus 1 fumble return and 1 on a lateral from Sapp after a Sapp interception for a total of 4 touchdowns ( an NFL record for a linebacker ) . The defense as a whole had nine total touchdowns during the regular season and playoffs . Rice led the team with 15.5 sacks . Sapp recorded 7.5 sacks and 2 interceptions . Cornerback Brian Kelly was also a big asset , leading the team with 8 interceptions . The Raiders win without Gruden ( edit ) Further information : 2002 Oakland Raiders season Despite the loss of Gruden in 2002 , the Raiders under their new coach Bill Callahan still managed to earn a share of the AFC 's best record at 11 -- 5 . The offense led the league in total passing yards ( 4,689 ) and ranked second in total yards gained ( 6,451 ) . Gannon had a Pro Bowl season , completing 418 out of 618 passes for 4,689 yards , 26 touchdowns , and with 10 interceptions . His 418 completions and his 10 games with over 300 passing yards were both NFL records . He also ran 50 times for 156 yards and 3 touchdowns . Rice , who was already the NFL 's all - time leader in nearly every receiving record after 17 seasons , had a Pro Bowl season for the 13th time in his career with 92 receptions for 1,211 yards and 7 touchdowns . Gannon 's other weapons in passing game were 15 - year veteran receiver Tim Brown ( 81 receptions for 930 yards and 2 touchdowns ) and young receiver Jerry Porter ( 51 receptions for 688 yards and 9 touchdowns ) . Multi-talented running back Charlie Garner was the team 's leading rusher with 962 yards and 7 touchdowns , while also leading all NFL running backs in receiving with 91 receptions for 941 yards and another 4 touchdowns . Running back Tyrone Wheatley was also a big contributor with 419 rushing yards and 71 receiving yards , while fullback Zack Crockett provided both of them with solid blocking and scored 8 touchdowns . Up front , their offensive line was led by 2 Pro Bowlers , guard Lincoln Kennedy and center Barret Robbins . The Raiders ' weakness was primarily on their defense , which ranked 25th in the league in passing yards allowed ( 3,787 ) and 12th in total yards ( 5,240 ) . But veteran Pro Bowl safety Rod Woodson recorded 8 interceptions ( which led the league ) for 225 yards and 2 touchdowns . Up front , their line was anchored by defensive tackle Rod Coleman , who led the team with 11 sacks . Behind him , the team had a solid veteran linebacker , Bill Romanowski , who was playing in his 5th Super Bowl ( after winning 2 championships with the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowls XXIII and XXIV , and 2 while playing for the Denver Broncos in Super Bowls XXXII and XXXIII ) . Defensive back Tory James was also a big contributor with 4 interceptions . Playoffs ( edit ) Further information : 2002 -- 03 NFL playoffs The second - seeded Buccaneers defeated the fourth - seeded San Francisco 49ers , 31 -- 6 , and the top - seeded Philadelphia Eagles on the road , 27 -- 10 , in the playoffs , to make the Super Bowl for the first time in franchise history . Meanwhile , the top - seeded Raiders were victorious against the fourth - seeded New York Jets , 30 -- 10 , and the second - seeded Tennessee Titans , 41 -- 24 . The Raiders won against the Titans through Gannon 's pass - oriented offense . Super Bowl pre-game News ( edit ) The Raiders entered the game favored to win in their first Super Bowl in 19 years . They were also the first franchise to appear in the Super Bowl in four different decades ( 1960s , 1970s , 1980s , 2000s ; the 1990s was the only decade that they did n't appear in the Super Bowl ) . However , much of the media hype surrounded the Gruden trade prior to the season . This forced league commissioner Paul Tagliabue to issue a statement that he might ban all future trades for coaches involving draft choices because it might compromise the draft . A distraction for the Raiders was that starting center Barret Robbins went missing for most of the week leading up to the Super Bowl , and ended up in a San Diego hospital the night before the game after suffering a manic episode . Backup Adam Treu ( a former Pro Bowl - er ) replaced Robbins . Television and Entertainment ( edit ) The game was broadcast in the United States by ABC with Al Michaels handling the play - by - play duties and color commentator John Madden , who became the first person to announce Super Bowls on different networks in consecutive years , having called Super Bowl XXXVI on Fox and then moving to ABC after Pat Summerall retired . The NFC improved to 6 -- 0 on Super Bowls broadcast on ABC . Melissa Stark and Lynn Swann served as sideline reporters . Chris Berman from Disney - owned corporate sibling ESPN hosted all the events . Berman was joined by fellow ESPN analyst Steve Young , Baltimore Ravens head coach Brian Billick , and New York Giants defensive end Michael Strahan . The Super Bowl was the first of three major professional sports championship series ABC broadcast in 2003 , as they would also broadcast the Stanley Cup Finals and the NBA Finals . Both the Super Bowl and the Stanley Cup Finals were hosted by Berman ( who co-hosted the Stanley Cup Finals with John Saunders ) and took place in the state of California . The state of California had representation in both finals series . Gary Thorne , Bill Clement , and John Davidson mentioned all of these when they called the Stanley Cup Finals . Pre-game ceremonies ( edit ) Before the game , a show called `` Santana and Friends '' performed on the field . Carlos Santana was joined by Beyoncé and Michelle Branch and sang truncated versions of `` Oye Como Va '' , `` The Game of Love '' , and `` Foo Foo . '' ABC also aired a pre-game parking lot performance featuring Bonnie Raitt , Goo Goo Dolls and Michael Bublé prior to the Santana and Friends segment . In a nod to what the New England Patriots did the previous year in Super Bowl XXXVI , both teams were introduced as a team , rather than individually by offensive and defensive starters , after highlights of their seasons were simulcast on the video boards in the stadium and on television . This has become a regular tradition starting with this Super Bowl . Celine Dion then sang `` God Bless America '' which is sung for the only time in the Super Bowl , and later the Dixie Chicks sang the national anthem , `` The Star - Spangled Banner '' . F / A-18 Super Hornets of the United States Navy performed a flyover . To honor the 30th anniversary of the 17 -- 0 undefeated , perfect season of the 1972 Miami Dolphins , the following members of that team appeared during the coin toss ceremony : Don Shula , Bob Griese , Larry Csonka , Larry Little , Jim Langer , Nick Buoniconti , Paul Warfield . Memorable television commercials that aired during the game included the `` Terry Tate : Office Linebacker '' Reebok ad and the Budweiser Zebra Referee . ADBOWL ranked FedEx 's `` Castaway '' as the best commercial of the year . Halftime show ( edit ) Shania Twain , No Doubt , and Sting were featured during the halftime show , which was sponsored by AT&T Wireless . Twain sang her hits `` Man ! I Feel Like a Woman ! '' and `` Up ! '' . No Doubt then sang their hit `` Just a Girl '' with lead singer Gwen Stefani ad - libbing lines like `` I 'm just a girl at the Super Bowl ! '' The show concluded with Sting performing `` Message in a Bottle '' , with Stefani joining in midway through . NBC provided counter-programming against the halftime show , airing a live segment of `` Weekend Update '' from the comedy -- variety show Saturday Night Live featuring Jimmy Fallon and Tina Fey . Postgame ceremonies ( edit ) Bon Jovi appeared as part of the post-game ceremonies , performing `` It 's My Life '' prior to the Vince Lombardi Trophy presentation and `` Everyday '' afterwards ( most of the latter performance was not shown on ABC because the network cut to commercials ) . Game Summary ( edit ) First quarter ( edit ) The Raiders had a great chance to score a touchdown early in the game after cornerback Charles Woodson intercepted Buccaneers quarterback Brad Johnson 's pass on the third play of the game and returned it 12 yards to the Tampa Bay 36 - yard line . However , six plays later , Tampa Bay defensive end Simeon Rice sacked Raiders quarterback Rich Gannon on third down , forcing Oakland to settle for kicker Sebastian Janikowski 's 40 - yard field goal to give them a 3 -- 0 lead . Buccaneers kick returner Aaron Stecker returned the ensuing kickoff 27 yards to the 29 - yard line , then appeared to fumble the ball . Although the officials initially ruled that the ball was recovered by Oakland 's Eric Johnson , the play was reviewed by instant replay and the fumble was overturned , and thus Tampa Bay retained possession . It showed that both of Stecker 's knees were down and the ball did n't come loose until it hit the ground . Gruden and Stecker appeared upset at having to use a challenge so early in a game , when they both believed Stecker was clearly down . On the first play of the drive , Brad Johnson completed an 11 - yard pass to wide receiver Joe Jurevicius . Johnson 's next 2 passes were incomplete , but he then completed a 23 - yard pass to Jurevicius on third down to advance the ball to the Oakland 37 - yard line . Running back Michael Pittman then rushed for a 23 - yard gain to the 13 - yard line . However , on the next 3 plays , the Raiders defense limited the Buccaneers to a pair of incompletions and a 1 - yard run . Argentine kicker Martín Gramática then made a 31 - yard field goal to tie the game , 3 -- 3 . Second quarter ( edit ) Later in the half , a 17 - yard punt return by Raiders defensive back Darrien Gordon gave Oakland the ball at their own 49 - yard line . Gannon then threw an 8 - yard pass to running back Charlie Garner to reach the Tampa Bay 43 - yard line . However , on third down , Buccaneers safety Dexter Jackson intercepted Gannon 's pass at the 40 - yard line and returned it 9 - yards to near midfield . Then nine plays after the turnover , Gramatica kicked his second field goal from 43 yards to give Tampa Bay a 6 -- 3 lead . Jackson intercepted another pass on the Raiders ' next drive and returned it 25 yards to Oakland 's 45 - yard line , making Jackson the first player ever to record two interceptions in the first half of the Super Bowl . However , the Buccaneers were unable to take advantage of the turnover and were forced to punt . Fortunately for Tampa Bay , they got a big assist from their punter Tom Tupa , who managed to pin Oakland all the way back at their own 11 - yard line with his punt . The Raiders could not move the ball either , losing 1 yard on 3 plays with their ensuing drive . Tampa Bay punt returner Karl Williams then returned Shane Lechler 's punt 25 yards , giving the Buccaneers great field position at Oakland 's 27 - yard line . Aided with Pittman 's gains of 6 and 19 yards , the Buccaneers scored their first touchdown on a 2 - yard run from fullback Mike Alstott , increasing their lead to 13 -- 3 . Then with 3 : 45 left in the half , Tampa Bay drove 77 yards , assisted by a pair of catches by Alstott for 28 total yards . Johnson finished the drive with a 5 - yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Keenan McCardell to give the Buccaneers a 20 -- 3 halftime lead . Third quarter ( edit ) Tampa Bay continued to dominate the game for most of the third quarter . The Buccaneers forced the Raiders to punt on the opening drive of the second half . Next , Tampa Bay marched 89 yards on a 14 - play drive that took 7 : 52 off the clock , and ended with Johnson 's 8 - yard touchdown pass to McCardell to increase their lead to 27 -- 3 . Then on the second play of Oakland 's ensuing drive , Buccaneers defensive back Dwight Smith intercepted Gannon 's pass and returned it 44 yards for a touchdown , making the score 34 -- 3 . After giving up 34 points , Oakland finally managed to drive 82 yards down the field and score on a 39 - yard touchdown pass from Gannon to wide receiver Jerry Porter . Although he was initially ruled as being out of bounds when he caught the ball , it was determined that Porter had both feet in the end zone . The two - point conversion failed , so the Raiders were still down 34 -- 9 . Fourth quarter ( edit ) The Raiders ' touchdown seemed to fire up their defense , who forced the Buccaneers to a fourth down on their ensuing possession . Oakland linebacker Tim Johnson then blocked Tupa 's punt , and linebacker Eric Johnson returned the ball 13 yards for a touchdown . Another two - point conversion for Oakland failed , but Tampa Bay 's lead was cut to 34 -- 15 . Tampa Bay responded by moving the ball to the Oakland 9 - yard line on their ensuing drive , featuring a 24 - yard run by Pittman , but they came up empty after Tupa fumbled the snap on a field goal attempt . A few plays later , Gannon threw a 48 - yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Jerry Rice with 6 : 06 left in the game , cutting the Raiders deficit to 34 -- 21 . The two - point conversion failed when Jerry Porter caught the ball but landed out of bounds . Though there was contact with a defender , the officials deemed the contact incidental rather than a force - out , and therefore that part of the play was non-reviewable . In an attempt to prevent a Raiders comeback , the Buccaneers managed to run the clock down to 2 : 44 on their ensuing drive before being forced to punt . Then on third and 18 from the Oakland 29 - yard line , Tampa Bay linebacker Derrick Brooks intercepted a pass from Gannon and returned it 44 yards for a touchdown , giving the Buccaneers a 41 -- 21 lead with only 1 : 18 left , and leading Buccaneers radio announcer Gene Deckerhoff to make his famous call of `` The dagger 's in , we 're gon na win the Super Bowl ! '' . A few plays later , with the Raiders now playing for pride , Dwight Smith intercepted a tipped pass and returned it 50 yards for a touchdown with only two seconds remaining . Gramatica kicked the extra point , and the Buccaneers were up 48 -- 21 . Raiders defensive tackle Chris Cooper returned Gramatica 's kickoff 6 yards before being tackled by Jack Golden , ending the game . The Buccaneers won their first - ever Super Bowl with a 48 - 21 victory . Gannon said after the game that his performance was `` nightmarish '' .

For other American football terms , see Glossary of American football . 21 48 Statistical overview ( edit ) Tampa Bay dominated Oakland , outgaining them in total yards ( 365 to 269 ) , rushing yards ( 150 to 19 ) , first downs ( 24 to 11 ) , offensive plays ( 76 to 60 ) , and forced turnovers ( 5 to 1 ) . As many sports fans and writers predicted , Gruden 's prior knowledge of the Raiders was a major factor . The most damaging piece of evidence is NFL Films footage of Tampa Bay defensive back John Lynch telling his teammates during the game that almost all of the plays ran by Oakland 's offense were plays that Gruden ( who that week even played the part of `` Rich Gannon '' by playing QB with the scout - team offense ) specifically told them to look out for . Better still for the Buccaneers was that Oakland had n't changed their audible - calling signals that Gruden himself had installed , thus tipping off plays repeatedly . Johnson finished the game with 18 out of 34 completions for 215 yards and 2 touchdowns , with 1 interception , along with 10 rushing yards . Pittman was the top rusher of the game with 129 yards . Alstott was the game 's second leading rusher with 15 yards and a touchdown , and had 5 receptions for 43 yards . Wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson was the Buccaneers ' leading receiver with 6 catches for 69 yards . Smith recorded 2 interceptions , 94 return yards , and 2 touchdowns . He also added another 23 yards on a kickoff return . Gannon finished the game 24 out of 44 for 272 yards and 2 touchdowns , but was intercepted a Super Bowl record 5 times . Garner was their leading rusher , but with only 10 yards , and caught 7 passes for 51 yards . Rice was the Raiders ' leading receiver of the game with 5 catches for 77 yards and a touchdown . He became the first player to score touchdowns with two different teams in Super Bowls ( Ricky Proehl and Muhsin Muhammad have since joined him ) . Wide receiver Marcus Knight returned 8 kickoffs for 143 yards . Jerry Rice and Bill Romanowski joined Gene Upshaw as the only players to appear in Super Bowls in three different decades . Rice played in Super Bowls XXIII , XXIV , and XXIX . Romanowski played in Super Bowls XXIII , XXIV , XXXII , and XXXIII ; the Raiders ' loss prevented Romanowski from joining Charles Haley as the only NFL players at that time to earn 5 Super Bowl rings ( Haley was also with the 49ers for Super Bowls XXIII and XXIV , and later earned rings when the Dallas Cowboys won Super Bowls XXVII , XXVIII , and XXX ) . The Raiders became the first team to appear in Super Bowls under four different head coaches . John Rauch coached them in Super Bowl II , John Madden ( who himself called Super Bowl XXXVII on ABC ) , coached them in Super Bowl XI and Tom Flores coached them in Super Bowl XV and XVIII . The teams combined for the most second half points in a Super Bowl with 46 ( 28 for Tampa Bay and 18 for Oakland ) and the third most total points in a game with 69 , tying Dallas and Buffalo who combined for 69 points in Super Bowl XXVII .

Twelve cars were set on fire and four hundred police officers had to be sent to the streets . Aftermath ( edit ) The Tampa Tribune published a book by several staff writers called Pewter Power , about the Buccaneers ' winning season . Both teams entered a period of decline after the Super Bowl . Neither made the playoffs the next season as Tampa Bay finished 7 -- 9 and Oakland finished 4 -- 12 . Furthermore , Tampa Bay finished 5 -- 11 in 2004 , becoming the first Super Bowl winning team to follow up with consecutive losing seasons . To date , the Buccaneers have yet to win another postseason game , while the Raiders went 14 seasons without having a winning season and / or qualifying the playoffs , and have also not won a playoff game since .

"Super Bowl XXXVII was an American football game between the American Football Conference (AFC) champion Oakland Raiders and the National Football Conference (NFC) champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers to decide the National Football League (NFL) champion for the 2002 season. The Buccaneers defeated the Raiders by the score of 48–21, tied with Super Bowl XXXV for the seventh largest Super Bowl margin of victory, and winning their first ever Super Bowl.[5] The game, played on January 26, 2003 at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, California, was the sixth Super Bowl to be held a week after the conference championship games (XVII, XXV, XXVIII, XXXIV, and XXXVI). It was also the last Super Bowl played in the month of January."

Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( September 2014 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Typical eukaryotic cell Cellular respiration is a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate ( ATP ) , and then release waste products . The reactions involved in respiration are catabolic reactions , which break large molecules into smaller ones , releasing energy in the process , as weak so - called `` high - energy '' bonds are replaced by stronger bonds in the products . Respiration is one of the key ways a cell releases chemical energy to fuel cellular activity . Cellular respiration is considered an exothermic redox reaction which releases heat . The overall reaction occurs in a series of biochemical steps , most of which are redox reactions themselves . Although technically , cellular respiration is a combustion reaction , it clearly does not resemble one when it occurs in a living cell because of the slow release of energy from the series of reactions . Nutrients that are commonly used by animal and plant cells in respiration include sugar , amino acids and fatty acids , and the most common oxidizing agent ( electron acceptor ) is molecular oxygen ( O ) . The chemical energy stored in ATP ( its third phosphate group is weakly bonded to the rest of the molecule and is cheaply broken allowing stronger bonds to form , thereby transferring energy for use by the cell ) can then be used to drive processes requiring energy , including biosynthesis , locomotion or transportation of molecules across cell membranes . Contents ( hide ) 1 Aerobic respiration 1.1 Glycolysis 1.2 Oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate 1.3 Citric acid cycle 1.4 Oxidative phosphorylation 2 Efficiency of ATP production 3 Fermentation 4 Anaerobic respiration 5 See also 6 References 7 External links Aerobic respiration Aerobic respiration ( red arrows ) is the main means by which both fungi and animals utilize chemical energy in the form of organic compounds that were previously created through photosynthesis ( green arrow ) . Aerobic respiration requires oxygen ( O ) in order to create ATP . Although carbohydrates , fats , and proteins are consumed as reactants , it is the preferred method of pyruvate breakdown in glycolysis and requires that pyruvate enter the mitochondria in order to be fully oxidized by the Krebs cycle . The products of this process are carbon dioxide and water , but the energy transferred is used to break bonds in ADP as the third phosphate group is added to form ATP ( adenosine triphosphate ) , by substrate - level phosphorylation , NADH and FADH Simplified reaction : C H O ( s ) + 6 O ( g ) → 6 CO ( g ) + 6 H O ( l ) + heat ΔG = − 2880 kJ per mol of C H O The negative ΔG indicates that the reaction can occur spontaneously . The potential of NADH and FADH is converted to more ATP through an electron transport chain with oxygen as the `` terminal electron acceptor '' . Most of the ATP produced by aerobic cellular respiration is made by oxidative phosphorylation . This works by the energy released in the consumption of pyruvate being used to create a chemiosmotic potential by pumping protons across a membrane . This potential is then used to drive ATP synthase and produce ATP from ADP and a phosphate group . Biology textbooks often state that 38 ATP molecules can be made per oxidised glucose molecule during cellular respiration ( 2 from glycolysis , 2 from the Krebs cycle , and about 34 from the electron transport system ) . However , this maximum yield is never quite reached because of losses due to leaky membranes as well as the cost of moving pyruvate and ADP into the mitochondrial matrix , and current estimates range around 29 to 30 ATP per glucose . Aerobic metabolism is up to 15 times more efficient than anaerobic metabolism ( which yields 2 molecules ATP per 1 molecule glucose ) . However some anaerobic organisms , such as methanogens are able to continue with anaerobic respiration , yielding more ATP by using other inorganic molecules ( not oxygen ) as final electron acceptors in the electron transport chain . They share the initial pathway of glycolysis but aerobic metabolism continues with the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation . The post-glycolytic reactions take place in the mitochondria in eukaryotic cells , and in the cytoplasm in prokaryotic cells . Glycolysis Out of the cytoplasm it goes into the Krebs cycle with the acetyl CoA . It then mixes with CO and makes 2 ATP , NADH , and FADH . From there the NADH and FADH go into the NADH reductase , which produces the enzyme . The NADH pulls the enzyme 's electrons to send through the electron transport chain . The electron transport chain pulls H ions through the chain . From the electron transport chain , the released hydrogen ions make ADP for an end result of 32 ATP . O attracts itself to the left over electron to make water . Lastly , ATP leaves through the ATP channel and out of the mitochondria . Main article : Glycolysis Glycolysis is a metabolic pathway that takes place in the cytosol of cells in all living organisms . This pathway can function with or without the presence of oxygen . In humans , aerobic conditions produce pyruvate and anaerobic conditions produce lactate . In aerobic conditions , the process converts one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate ( pyruvic acid ) , generating energy in the form of two net molecules of ATP . Four molecules of ATP per glucose are actually produced , however , two are consumed as part of the preparatory phase . The initial phosphorylation of glucose is required to increase the reactivity ( decrease its stability ) in order for the molecule to be cleaved into two pyruvate molecules by the enzyme aldolase . During the pay - off phase of glycolysis , four phosphate groups are transferred to ADP by substrate - level phosphorylation to make four ATP , and two NADH are produced when the pyruvate are oxidized . The overall reaction can be expressed this way : Glucose + 2 NAD + 2 P + 2 ADP → 2 pyruvate + 2 NADH + 2 ATP + 2 H + 2 H O + heat Starting with glucose , 1 ATP is used to donate a phosphate to glucose to produce glucose 6 - phosphate . Glycogen can be converted into glucose 6 - phosphate as well with the help of glycogen phosphorylase . During energy metabolism , glucose 6 - phosphate becomes fructose 6 - phosphate . An additional ATP is used to phosphorylate fructose 6 - phosphate into fructose 1 , 6 - disphosphate by the help of phosphofructokinase . Fructose 1 , 6 - diphosphate then splits into two phosphorylated molecules with three carbon chains which later degrades into pyruvate . Glycolysis can be literally translated as `` sugar splitting '' . Oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate Main article : Pyruvate decarboxylation Pyruvate is oxidized to acetyl - CoA and CO by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex ( PDC ) . The PDC contains multiple copies of three enzymes and is located in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells and in the cytosol of prokaryotes . In the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl - CoA , one molecule of NADH and one molecule of CO is formed . Citric acid cycle Main article : Citric acid cycle This is also called the Krebs cycle or the tricarboxylic acid cycle . When oxygen is present , acetyl - CoA is produced from the pyruvate molecules created from glycolysis . Once acetyl - CoA is formed , aerobic or anaerobic respiration can occur . When oxygen is present , the mitochondria will undergo aerobic respiration which leads to the Krebs cycle . However , if oxygen is not present , fermentation of the pyruvate molecule will occur . In the presence of oxygen , when acetyl - CoA is produced , the molecule then enters the citric acid cycle ( Krebs cycle ) inside the mitochondrial matrix , and is oxidized to CO while at the same time reducing NAD to NADH . NADH can be used by the electron transport chain to create further ATP as part of oxidative phosphorylation . To fully oxidize the equivalent of one glucose molecule , two acetyl - CoA must be metabolized by the Krebs cycle . Two waste products , H O and CO , are created during this cycle . The citric acid cycle is an 8 - step process involving 18 different enzymes and co-enzymes . During the cycle , acetyl - CoA ( 2 carbons ) + oxaloacetate ( 4 carbons ) yields citrate ( 6 carbons ) , which is rearranged to a more reactive form called isocitrate ( 6 carbons ) . Isocitrate is modified to become α - ketoglutarate ( 5 carbons ) , succinyl - CoA , succinate , fumarate , malate , and , finally , oxaloacetate . The net gain of high - energy compounds from one cycle is 3 NADH , 1 FADH , and 1 GTP ; the GTP may subsequently be used to produce ATP . Thus , the total yield from 1 glucose molecule ( 2 pyruvate molecules ) is 6 NADH , 2 FADH , and 2 ATP . Oxidative phosphorylation Main articles : Oxidative phosphorylation , Electron transport chain , Electrochemical gradient , and ATP synthase In eukaryotes , oxidative phosphorylation occurs in the mitochondrial cristae . It comprises the electron transport chain that establishes a proton gradient ( chemiosmotic potential ) across the boundary of inner membrane by oxidizing the NADH produced from the Krebs cycle . ATP is synthesized by the ATP synthase enzyme when the chemiosmotic gradient is used to drive the phosphorylation of ADP . The electrons are finally transferred to exogenous oxygen and , with the addition of two protons , water is formed . Efficiency of ATP production The table below describes the reactions involved when one glucose molecule is fully oxidized into carbon dioxide . It is assumed that all the reduced coenzymes are oxidized by the electron transport chain and used for oxidative phosphorylation . Step coenzyme yield ATP yield Source of ATP Glycolysis preparatory phase − 2 Phosphorylation of glucose and fructose 6 - phosphate uses two ATP from the cytoplasm . Glycolysis pay - off phase Substrate - level phosphorylation 2 NADH 3 or 5 Oxidative phosphorylation : Each NADH produces net 1.5 ATP ( instead of usual 2.5 ) due to NADH transport over the mitochondrial membrane Oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate 2 NADH 5 Oxidative phosphorylation Krebs cycle Substrate - level phosphorylation 6 NADH 15 Oxidative phosphorylation 2 FADH Oxidative phosphorylation Total yield 30 or 32 ATP From the complete oxidation of one glucose molecule to carbon dioxide and oxidation of all the reduced coenzymes . Although there is a theoretical yield of 38 ATP molecules per glucose during cellular respiration , such conditions are generally not realized because of losses such as the cost of moving pyruvate ( from glycolysis ) , phosphate , and ADP ( substrates for ATP synthesis ) into the mitochondria . All are actively transported using carriers that utilize the stored energy in the proton electrochemical gradient . Pyruvate is taken up by a specific , low Km transporter to bring it into the mitochondrial matrix for oxidation by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex . The phosphate carrier ( PiC ) mediates the electroneutral exchange ( antiport ) of phosphate ( H PO ; P ) for OH or symport of phosphate and protons ( H ) across the inner membrane , and the driving force for moving phosphate ions into the mitochondria is the proton motive force . The ATP - ADP translocase ( also called adenine nucleotide translocase , ANT ) is an antiporter and exchanges ADP and ATP across the inner membrane . The driving force is due to the ATP ( − 4 ) having a more negative charge than the ADP ( − 3 ) , and thus it dissipates some of the electrical component of the proton electrochemical gradient . The outcome of these transport processes using the proton electrochemical gradient is that more than 3 H are needed to make 1 ATP . Obviously this reduces the theoretical efficiency of the whole process and the likely maximum is closer to 28 -- 30 ATP molecules . In practice the efficiency may be even lower because the inner membrane of the mitochondria is slightly leaky to protons . Other factors may also dissipate the proton gradient creating an apparently leaky mitochondria . An uncoupling protein known as thermogenin is expressed in some cell types and is a channel that can transport protons . When this protein is active in the inner membrane it short circuits the coupling between the electron transport chain and ATP synthesis . The potential energy from the proton gradient is not used to make ATP but generates heat . This is particularly important in brown fat thermogenesis of newborn and hibernating mammals . Stoichiometry of aerobic respiration and most known fermentation types in eucaryotic cell . Numbers in circles indicate counts of carbon atoms in molecules , C6 is glucose C H O , C1 carbon dioxide CO . Mitochondrial outer membrane is omitted . According to some of newer sources the ATP yield during aerobic respiration is not 36 -- 38 , but only about 30 -- 32 ATP molecules / 1 molecule of glucose , because : ATP : NADH + H and ATP : FADH ratios during the oxidative phosphorylation appear to be not 3 and 2 , but 2.5 and 1.5 respectively . Unlike in the substrate - level phosphorylation , the stoichiometry here is difficult to establish . ATP synthase produces 1 ATP / 3 H. However the exchange of matrix ATP for cytosolic ADP and Pi ( antiport with OH or symport with H ) mediated by ATP -- ADP translocase and phosphate carrier consumes 1 H / 1 ATP as a result of regeneration of the transmembrane potential changed during this transfer , so the net ratio is 1 ATP : 4 H . The mitochondrial electron transport chain proton pump transfers across the inner membrane 10 H / 1 NADH + H ( 4 + 2 + 4 ) or 6 H / 1 FADH ( 2 + 4 ) . So the final stoichiometry is 1 NADH + H : 10 H : 10 / 4 ATP = 1 NADH + H : 2.5 ATP 1 FADH : 6 H : 6 / 4 ATP = 1 FADH : 1.5 ATP ATP : NADH + H coming from glycolysis ratio during the oxidative phosphorylation is 1.5 , as for FADH , if hydrogen atoms ( 2H + 2e ) are transferred from cytosolic NADH + H to mitochondrial FAD by the glycerol phosphate shuttle located in the inner mitochondrial membrane . 2.5 in case of malate - aspartate shuttle transferring hydrogen atoms from cytosolic NADH + H to mitochondrial NAD So finally we have , per molecule of glucose Substrate - level phosphorylation : 2 ATP from glycolysis + 2 ATP ( directly GTP ) from Krebs cycle Oxidative phosphorylation 2 NADH + H from glycolysis : 2 × 1.5 ATP ( if glycerol phosphate shuttle transfers hydrogen atoms ) or 2 × 2.5 ATP ( malate - aspartate shuttle ) 2 NADH + H from the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate and 6 from Krebs cycle : 8 × 2.5 ATP 2 FADH from the Krebs cycle : 2 × 1.5 ATP Altogether this gives 4 + 3 ( or 5 ) + 20 + 3 = 30 ( or 32 ) ATP per molecule of glucose The total ATP yield in ethanol or lactic acid fermentation is only 2 molecules coming from glycolysis , because pyruvate is not transferred to the mitochondrion and finally oxidized to the carbon dioxide ( CO ) , but reduced to ethanol or lactic acid in the cytoplasm . Fermentation Main article : Fermentation Without oxygen , pyruvate ( pyruvic acid ) is not metabolized by cellular respiration but undergoes a process of fermentation . The pyruvate is not transported into the mitochondrion , but remains in the cytoplasm , where it is converted to waste products that may be removed from the cell . This serves the purpose of oxidizing the electron carriers so that they can perform glycolysis again and removing the excess pyruvate . Fermentation oxidizes NADH to NAD+ so it can be re-used in glycolysis . In the absence of oxygen , fermentation prevents the buildup of NADH in the cytoplasm and provides NAD+ for glycolysis . This waste product varies depending on the organism . In skeletal muscles , the waste product is lactic acid . This type of fermentation is called lactic acid fermentation . In strenuous exercise , when energy demands exceed energy supply , the respiratory chain can not process all of the hydrogen atoms joined by NADH . During anaerobic glycolysis , NAD+ regenerates when pairs of hydrogen combine with pyruvate to form lactate . Lactate formation is catalyzed by lactate dehydrogenase in a reversible reaction . Lactate can also be used as an indirect precursor for liver glycogen . During recovery , when oxygen becomes available , NAD+ attaches to hydrogen from lactate to form ATP . In yeast , the waste products are ethanol and carbon dioxide . This type of fermentation is known as alcoholic or ethanol fermentation . The ATP generated in this process is made by substrate - level phosphorylation , which does not require oxygen . Fermentation is less efficient at using the energy from glucose : only 2 ATP are produced per glucose , compared to the 38 ATP per glucose nominally produced by aerobic respiration . This is because the waste products of fermentation still contain chemical potential energy that can be released by oxidation . Ethanol , for example , can be burned in an internal combustion engine like gasoline . Glycolytic ATP , however , is created more quickly . For prokaryotes to continue a rapid growth rate when they are shifted from an aerobic environment to an anaerobic environment , they must increase the rate of the glycolytic reactions . For multicellular organisms , during short bursts of strenuous activity , muscle cells use fermentation to supplement the ATP production from the slower aerobic respiration , so fermentation may be used by a cell even before the oxygen levels are depleted , as is the case in sports that do not require athletes to pace themselves , such as sprinting . Anaerobic respiration Main article : Anaerobic respiration Cellular respiration is the process by which biological fuels are oxidised in the presence of an inorganic electron acceptor ( such as oxygen ) to produce large amounts of energy , to drive the bulk production of ATP . Anaerobic respiration is used by some microorganisms in which neither oxygen ( aerobic respiration ) nor pyruvate derivatives ( fermentation ) is the final electron acceptor . Rather , an inorganic acceptor such as sulfate or nitrate is used . Such organisms are typically found in unusual places such as underwater caves or near hydrothermal vents at the bottom of the ocean .

"Nutrients that are commonly used by animal and plant cells in respiration include sugar, amino acids and fatty acids, and the most common oxidizing agent (electron acceptor) is molecular oxygen (O2). The chemical energy stored in ATP (its third phosphate group is weakly bonded to the rest of the molecule and is cheaply broken allowing stronger bonds to form, thereby transferring energy for use by the cell) can then be used to drive processes requiring energy, including biosynthesis, locomotion or transportation of molecules across cell membranes."

He grew up in Burton Joyce , Nottinghamshire . Horne has an elder brother , Daniel . He attended Burton Joyce Primary School . He studied A level performing arts at Southwell Minster School in Nottinghamshire , and has a degree in drama from the University of Manchester . Here , Horne met Bruce Mackinnon in the first few weeks of term ; they realised that they shared a similar sense of humour , but did not write material together until the third year of their studies . Career ( edit ) Horne began his career as a comedian and later became one half of the comedy duo Mat and MacKinnon -- first performing at the Edinburgh Festival in 2000 . He was spotted at the festival by Catherine Tate who invited him to perform in The Catherine Tate Show . Since then Horne has continued to appear in several Catherine Tates Nan specials . He reprised his role as Jamie in two festive episodes of Catherine Tates Nan in 2015 . In 2003 , he starred in Channel 4 's 20 Things to do Before You 're 30 and a year later earned the role of Ben , an atheist RE teacher , in the Channel 4 series Teachers . He also appeared in the first series of ITV production Doc Martin . In 2005 , Horne appeared in an episode of The Smoking Room , playing Dominic the nephew of Janet who was conducting a psychological study of the employees . In 2007 he starred in the BBC sitcom Roman 's Empire and in November that year appeared in comedy sketches in The Kylie Show on ITV1 alongside Kylie Minogue , playing her assistant . Horne was also a guest star in the second series of Robin Hood . From 2007 to 2010 he starred in the double BAFTA winning series Gavin & Stacey as main character Gavin Shipman , a kind - hearted young man who meets up with a girl he meets through their work phone calls and falls in love with her . The programme ran for three series with a Christmas special and received widespread critical acclaim . In 2008 , Horne appeared in a modern adaptation of the Three Billy Goats Gruff as part of the BBC 's Fairy Tales season . He also narrated the ITV2 series The Passions of Girls Aloud . Horne starred in the film Lesbian Vampire Killers alongside James Corden and made his stage debut in a 2009 revival of Entertaining Mr Sloane at the Trafalgar Studios . On 3 April 2009 it was reported that Horne collapsed on - stage during a West End performance of the play . He remained on - stage until medical assistance arrived , at which point he was taken to hospital . A statement released soon after said that he was exhausted after working ' flat out ' for 3 months and it was later revealed that he was suffering from a virus . Horne also guest - starred in the video for the Maccabees ' 2009 free - download single `` No Kind Words '' On 18 February 2009 , he presented the 2009 BRIT Awards alongside James Corden and Kylie Minogue . In 2010 , he appeared in an episode of Miss Marple , named `` The Secret of Chimneys '' , as Bill Eversleigh . Horne appeared alongside fellow Gavin & Stacey star Ruth Jones . He played the Culture Club drummer , Jon Moss , in the 2010 BBC docudrama about the teenage years of Boy George , Worried About the Boy . In 2016 he toured British theatres with Catherine Tate in The Catherine Tate Show Live . Appeared as young Mr. Grace in `` Are You Being Served ? '' 2016 . Work with James Corden ( edit ) Main articles : Horne & Corden and Lesbian Vampire Killers Since working on the BBC sitcom Gavin & Stacey , he has collaborated a number of times with its co-creator James Corden Horne and Corden presented the Big Brother spin - off show Big Brother 's Big Mouth as guests in 2007 and were then regulars for the run covering E4 's Big Brother : Celebrity Hijack Together they presented the NME Shockwaves Awards in 2008 and a section of Comic Relief in March 2009 . In 2008 Horne and Corden toured the UK with a stand - up show in preparation for their BBC sketch show Horne & Corden . The first episode was broadcast on show of 10 March 2009 on BBC Three . It was presented in front of a live audience , in a style reminiscent of Morecambe and Wise or The Two Ronnies . A variety of pre-filmed sketches and live performances were included . 2009 also saw the release of Lesbian Vampire Killers , a comedy horror film . Reviews of the film were largely negative . It holds a 29 % approval rating on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes with an average score of 4 / 10 . James Christopher of The Times described it as `` profoundly awful '' , stating that it is an `` instantly forgettable lads ' mag farce '' and an `` appalling waste of a perfectly decent title '' . Allan Hunter of the Daily Express called it `` badly written and hastily executed '' and `` takes all the easy options of bad taste , bosoms and body fluids '' . Anthony Quin writing in The Independent gave the film 1 star out of 5 , describing it as woeful and stating that Horne and Corden had `` overstretched their appeal '' and looked in danger of becoming today 's Hale and Pace . Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian described the film as `` mostly pretty awful , but there are one or two crass laughs '' . The Sun , however , gave it a positive review ; Sun reviewer the Sneak gave Lesbian Vampire Killers a rating of 3 out of 5 , saying that `` other reviewers will undoubtedly say that LVK is another British comic flop but the Sneak wo n't be driving that stake into its heart '' . Similarly , Nicholas Yanes of Scifipulse.net found it to be `` a great B film '' worth becoming a cult classic . Whilst on the comedy panel show The King is Dead in September 2010 , Corden commented that watching the film would be too harsh a punishment for prisoners being held at Guantanamo Bay and that it was `` a pile of shit '' . Horne appeared alongside Corden in the CGI film Planet 51 , with a minor part voicing a soldier , Vesklin . Personal Life ( edit ) Horne is a fan of Tottenham Hotspur FC , and is often seen at White Hart Lane . Filmography ( edit ) Television ( edit ) Year Title Role 2001 Noble and Silver : Get Off Me !

Levon Helm provided the lead vocals . The song is a first - person narrative relating the economic and social distress experienced by the protagonist , a poor white Southerner , during the last year of the American Civil War , when George Stoneman was raiding southwest Virginia . Frequently appearing on lists of the best rock songs of all time , it has been cited as an early example of the genre known as roots rock . Joan Baez recorded a version of the song that became a top - five chart hit in late 1971 .

According to Rob Bowman 's liner notes to the 2000 reissue of the Band 's second album , The Band , it has been viewed as a concept album , with the songs focusing on peoples , places and traditions associated with an older version of Americana . The lyrics tell of the last days of the American Civil War , portraying the suffering of the protagonist , a poor white Southerner . Robertson stated that he had the music to the song in his head but at first had no idea what it was to be about . Then the concept came to him and he did research on the subject , relying heavily on the Dunning School theories of the period . Levon Helm , a native of Arkansas , stated that he assisted in the research for the lyrics . In his 1993 autobiography , This Wheel 's on Fire , Helm wrote , `` Robbie and I worked on ' The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down ' up in Woodstock . I remember taking him to the library so he could research the history and geography of the era and make General Robert E. Lee come out with all due respect . '' Dixie is the historical nickname for the states making up the Confederate States of America . The first lines of the lyrics refer to one of George Stoneman 's raids behind Confederate lines attacking the railroads of Danville , Virginia at the end of the Civil War in 1865 : Virgil Caine is the name , and I served on the Danville train , Till Stoneman 's cavalry came and tore up the tracks again ... The Band frequently performed the song in concert , and it is included on the group 's live albums Rock of Ages ( 1972 ) and Before the Flood ( 1974 ) . The song was included in the concert on Thanksgiving Day 1976 which was recorded in the documentary film about the concert , The Last Waltz , as well as the soundtrack album from the film . The last time the song was performed by Helm was in The Last Waltz ( 1976 ) . Helm refused to play the song afterwards . Although it has long been believed that the reason for Helm 's refusal to play the song was a dispute with Robertson over songwriting credits , according to Garth Hudson it was due to Helm 's dislike for Joan Baez 's version . Reception ( edit ) It was # 245 on Rolling Stone magazine 's list of the 500 greatest songs of all time . Pitchfork Media named it the forty - second best song of the Sixties . The song is included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 's `` 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll '' and Time magazine 's All - Time 100 . Ralph J. Gleason ( in the review in Rolling Stone ( U.S. edition only ) of October 1969 ) explains why this song has such an impact on listeners : Nothing I have read ... has brought home the overwhelming human sense of history that this song does . The only thing I can relate it to at all is The Red Badge of Courage . It 's a remarkable song , the rhythmic structure , the voice of Levon and the bass line with the drum accents and then the heavy close harmony of Levon , Richard and Rick in the theme , make it seem impossible that this is n't some traditional material handed down from father to son straight from that winter of 1865 to today . It has that ring of truth and the whole aura of authenticity . The lyrics of the song discuss the destruction of the Danville rail line that carried supplies for the Confederate army at Petersburg . The song has become a part of the ideology of Lost Cause of the Confederacy reflecting the perception of the South prostrate in defeat . Joan Baez version ( edit ) `` The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down '' Single by Joan Baez from the album Blessed Are ... B - side `` When Time Is Stolen '' Released August 1971 Genre Folk Length 3 : 23 Label Vanguard Songwriter ( s ) Robbie Robertson Producer ( s ) Norbert Putnam Joan Baez singles chronology `` Sweet Sir Galahad '' ( 1969 ) `` The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down '' ( 1971 ) `` Love Song to a Stranger '' ( 1971 ) `` Sweet Sir Galahad '' ( 1969 ) `` The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down '' ( 1971 ) `` Love Song to a Stranger '' ( 1971 ) The most successful version of the song was released by Joan Baez in 1971 . It peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the US in October that year and spent five weeks atop the easy listening chart . Billboard ranked it as the No. 20 song for 1971 . The version reached number six in the pop charts in the UK in October 1971 . The song became a Gold record . The Baez recording had some changes in the lyrics . Baez later told Rolling Stone 's Kurt Loder that she initially learned the song by listening to the recording on the Band 's album , and had never seen the printed lyrics at the time she recorded it , and thus sang the lyrics as she had ( mis ) heard them . In more recent years in her concerts , Baez has performed the song as originally written by Robertson .

The 1972 song `` Am Tag als Conny Kramer starb '' ( `` On the Day That Conny Kramer Died '' ) , which uses the tune of the song , was a number - one hit in West Germany for singer Juliane Werding . The lyrics are about a young man dying because of his drug addiction . In 1986 , the German band Die Goldenen Zitronen made a parody version of this song with the title `` Am Tag als Thomas Anders starb '' ( `` On the Day That Thomas Anders Died '' ) .

8978883572638091008 | Toto (Oz) | Toto ( Oz ) - wikipedia Toto ( Oz ) Toto Oz character Illustration by W.W. Denslow First appearance The Wonderful Wizard of Oz ( 1900 ) Created by L. Frank Baum and W.W. Denslow Portrayed by Terry Information Species Dog Gender male Occupation Dorothy Gale 's dog Toto is a fictional dog in L. Frank Baum 's Oz series of children 's books , and works derived from them . The name is pronounced with a long `` O '' , a homophone of `` toe toe '' . The dog was originally a small terrier drawn by W.W. Denslow for the first edition of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz ( 1900 ) . He reappears in numerous adaptations , such as The Wizard of Oz ( 1939 ) , The Wiz ( 1978 ) and Return to Oz ( 1985 ) . Contents ( hide ) 1 Books 1.1 The classic books 1.2 Later works 2 Films 2.1 Terry and the MGM film 2.2 Later film versions 3 Influence 4 See also 5 References 6 External links Books ( edit ) The classic books ( edit ) Illustration by W.W. Denslow Toto belongs to Dorothy Gale , the heroine of the first and many subsequent books . In the first book , he never spoke , although other animals , native to Oz , did . In subsequent books , other animals gained the ability to speak upon reaching Oz or similar lands , but Toto remained speechless . In Tik - Tok of Oz , continuity is restored : Toto reveals that he is able to talk , just like other animals in the land of Oz , and simply chooses not to . In The Lost Princess of Oz , he often talks continuously . Other major appearances include The Road to Oz , The Emerald City of Oz , Grampa in Oz and The Magical Mimics in Oz , in which he is the first to recognize the Mimics . In The Wonderful Wizard of Oz , Baum did not specifically state Toto 's breed , but describes him as `` a little black dog ( male although he was played by a female dog in the 1939 MGM movie ) with long silky hair and small black eyes that twinkled merrily on either side of his funny , wee nose '' . However , from the illustrations in the first book many have concluded that he is a Cairn Terrier while others believe he is a Yorkshire Terrier as this breed was very popular at the time and it fits the illustration quite well . In subsequent books he becomes a Boston Terrier for reasons that are never explained , but then resumes the earlier look in later books . Later works ( edit ) In Gregory Maguire 's novel Wicked : The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West , Toto is a minor character who is only described as being vile and annoying . In the musical adaption Wicked , he is only mentioned briefly when Glinda mistakenly calls him `` Dodo '' . Films ( edit ) Terry and the MGM film ( edit ) Terry as Toto with Judy Garland in The Wizard of Oz ( 1939 ) In the 1939 movie The Wizard of Oz , Toto was played by a female brindle Cairn Terrier whose real name was Terry . She was paid a $125 salary each week , which was more than some of the human actors ( the Singer Midgets who played the Munchkins reportedly received $50 to $100 a week ) . Terry / Toto 's memorial at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery During production , Terry 's foot was broken when one of the Winkie guards accidentally stepped on it . A second dog had to be used while she healed . Due to the popularity of the movie , and because that role was the one she was most remembered for , her owner and trainer changed her official name to Toto . She actually appeared in 13 films . She died at age 11 . Willard Carroll wrote her `` autobiography , '' I , Toto ( 2001 ) . When she died in 1945 Carl Spitz buried her on his ranch in Studio City , CA . However , the construction of the Ventura Freeway in 1958 destroyed her grave . On June 18 , 2011 a permanent memorial for Terry was dedicated at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles . Later film versions ( edit ) In Disney 's 1985 movie Return to Oz , Toto was played by a female Border Terrier named Tansy . The 1978 movie version of The Wiz featured a dark gray Schnauzer as Toto . Toto appears in The Wizard of Oz cartoon with his vocal effects provided by Frank Welker . In ABC 's telefilm The Muppets ' Wizard of Oz , he is played by Pepe the King Prawn . In 1996 an animated series The Oz Kids , Dot and Neddie have a puppy named Toto 2 who is named after Dorothy 's dog Toto . One of the episodes says Dorothy 's dog Toto is a female . In the VeggieTales episode `` The Wonderful Wizard of Has '' , he is replaced by a pig named `` Tutu '' . In the Sci - Fi Channel miniseries Tin Man , Toto is portrayed as a shape - shifting human . He was originally the tutor of DG and her sister , and his name of `` Toto '' came from DG 's childhood inability to say `` Tutor '' . He was played by Blu Mankuma . Toto also appears in the film Inkheart . In that film , Silvertongues have the ability to bring a character from book to life by saying the words loud and clear . Meggy accidentally brings him out of the book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and he becomes her companion ( until he 's sent back into it at the end ) . Toto helps defeat the evil shadow monster as well . In the Disney Channel original movie The Cheetah Girls the main character has a dog named Toto . This name is given to him most likely because one of the characters is named Dorothea ( Dorothy ) . However , this dog is a Bichon Frise instead of a black Cairn Terrier . Toto appeared in Dorothy and the Witches of Oz . Toto lived with Dorothy even when she was invited to New York City to get her books published . Toto is a German Shepherd in NBC 's television series Emerald City . Initially a police dog that was in the police car Dorothy retreated to during the initial tornado that sent her to Oz , he is subsequently ' adopted ' by Dorothy in her journey through Oz . His name in Kansas is unknown , but he is named by Dorothy after the Munja'kin word for `` dog '' . Influence ( edit ) Members of the American rock band Toto have said the band was named after the dog . Though it was perhaps the original source for the name appearing on their demo tapes , the band chose their name based upon the meaning of the Latin word toto ( `` all - encompassing '' ) .

"Toto is a fictional dog in L. Frank Baum's Oz series of children's books, and works derived from them. The name is pronounced with a long \"O\", a homophone of \"toe toe\". The dog was originally a small terrier drawn by W. W. Denslow for the first edition of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900). He reappears in numerous adaptations, such as The Wizard of Oz (1939), The Wiz (1978) and Return to Oz (1985)."

L48 Mag Preceded by The Horse and His Boy Followed by The Last Battle The Magician 's Nephew is a children 's high fantasy novel by C.S. Lewis , first published by Bodley Head in 1955 . It was later published with the work of illustrators Pauline Baynes and Chris Van Allsburg in 1978 , and with contributions by Leo and Diane Dillon in 1994 . It is the sixth published of seven novels in The Chronicles of Narnia ( 1950 -- 1956 ) ; it is volume one of the series in recent editions , which sequence the books according to Narnia history . Like the others , it was illustrated by Pauline Baynes whose work has been retained in many later editions . The Bodley Head was a new publisher for The Chronicles , a change from Geoffrey Bles . The Magician 's Nephew is a prequel to the series . The middle third of the novel features creation of the Narnia world by Aslan the lion , centred on a section of a lamp - post brought by accidental observers from London in 1900 . The visitors then participate in the beginning of Narnia history , 1000 years before The Lion , the Witch , and the Wardrobe ( which inaugurated the series in 1950 ) . The frame story is set in England and features two children ensnared in experimental travel via `` the wood between the worlds '' . Thus , the novel shows Narnia and our middle - age world to be only two of many in a multiverse , which changes as some worlds begin and others end . It also explains the origin of foreign elements in Narnia , not only the lamp - post but also the White Witch and a human king and queen . Lewis began The Magician 's Nephew soon after completing The Lion , the Witch and the Wardrobe , spurred by a friend 's question about the lamp - post in the middle of nowhere , but he needed more than five years to complete it . The story includes several autobiographical elements and explores a number of themes with general moral and Christian implications , including atonement , original sin , temptation and the order of nature .

Two children , Digory Kirke and Polly Plummer , meet while playing in the adjacent gardens of a row of terraced houses . They decide to explore the attic connecting the houses , but take the wrong door and surprise Digory 's Uncle Andrew in his study . Uncle Andrew tricks Polly into touching a yellow magic ring , causing her to vanish . Then he explains to Digory that he has been dabbling in magic , and that the rings allow travel between one world and another . He blackmails Digory into taking another yellow ring to follow wherever Polly has gone , and two green rings so that they both can return . Digory finds himself transported to a sleepy woodland with an almost narcotic effect ; he finds Polly nearby . The woodland is filled with pools . Digory and Polly surmise that the wood is not really a proper world at all but a `` Wood between the Worlds '' , similar to the attic that links their rowhouses back in England , and that each pool leads to a separate universe . They decide to explore a different world before returning to England , and jump into one of the nearby pools . They then find themselves in a desolate abandoned city of the ancient world of Charn . Inside the ruined palace , they discover statues of Charn 's former kings and queens , which degenerate from the fair and wise to the unhappy and cruel . They find a bell with a hammer , an inscription inviting the finder to strike the bell . Despite protests from Polly , Digory rings the bell . This awakens the last of the statues , a witch queen named Jadis , who , to avoid defeat in battle , had deliberately killed every living thing in Charn by speaking the `` Deplorable Word '' . As the only survivor left in her world , she placed herself in an enchanted sleep that would only be broken by someone ringing the bell . The children realise Jadis 's evil nature and attempt to flee , but she follows them back to England by clinging to them as they clutch their rings . In England , she discovers that her magical powers do not work , although she retains her superhuman strength . Dismissing Uncle Andrew as a poor magician , she enslaves him and orders him to fetch her a `` chariot '' -- a hansom cab -- so she can set about conquering Earth . They leave , and she attracts attention by robbing a jewellery store . The police chase after her cab , until she crashes at the foot of the Kirke house . Jadis breaks off and brandishes an iron rod from a nearby lamp - post to fight off police and onlookers . Polly and Digory grab her and put on their rings to take her out of their world , dragging with them Uncle Andrew , Frank the cab - driver , and Frank 's horse , since all were touching one another when the children grabbed their rings . In the Wood between the Worlds they jump into a pool , hoping it leads back to Charn . Instead they stumble into a dark void that Jadis recognises as a world not yet created . They then all witness the creation of a new world by the lion Aslan , who brings stars , plants , and animals into existence as he sings . Jadis , as terrified by his singing as the others are attracted to it , tries to kill Aslan with the iron rod ; but it rebounds harmlessly off him , and in the creative soil of the new world it sprouts into a growing lamp - post . Jadis flees . Aslan gives some animals the power of speech , commanding them to use it for justice and merriment . Aslan confronts Digory with his responsibility for bringing Jadis into his young world , and tells Digory he must atone by helping to protect the new land of Narnia from her evil . Aslan transforms the cabbie 's horse into a winged horse named Fledge , and Digory and Polly fly on him to a distant garden high in the mountains . Digory 's task is to take an apple from a tree in this garden and plant it in Narnia . At the garden Digory finds a sign warning not to steal from the garden . Digory picks one of the apples for his mission , but their overpowering smell tempts him . Jadis appears , having herself eaten an apple to become immortal ; she tempts Digory either to eat an apple himself and join her in immortality , or steal one to take back to Earth to heal his dying mother . Digory resists , knowing his mother would never condone theft , but hesitates . He sees through the Witch 's ploy when she suggests he leave Polly behind -- not knowing Polly can get away by her own ring . Foiled , the Witch departs for the North . Digory returns to Narnia and plants the apple , which grows into a mature tree behind them whilst the coronation proceeds . Aslan tells Digory how the tree works : anyone who steals the apples gets their heart 's desire , but in a form that makes it unlikeable . In the Witch 's case , she has achieved immortality , but it only means eternal misery because of her evil heart . Moreover , the magic apples are now a horror to her , such that the apple tree will repel her for centuries to come . With Aslan 's permission , Digory then takes an apple from the new tree to heal his mother . Aslan returns Digory , Polly , and Uncle Andrew to England ; Frank and his wife , Helen ( transported from England by Aslan ) stay to rule Narnia as its first King and Queen . Digory 's apple restores his mother 's health , and he and Polly remain lifelong friends . Uncle Andrew reforms and gives up magic , but still enjoys bragging about his adventures with the Witch . Digory plants the apple 's core with Uncle Andrew 's rings in the back yard of his aunt 's home in London , and it grows into a large tree . Years later , Digory 's family inherit a mansion in the country , and the apple tree blows down in a storm . Digory has its wood made into a wardrobe , setting up the events in The Lion , the Witch and the Wardrobe . Principal characters ( edit ) Digory Kirke : The boy who becomes the Professor Kirke who appears in other books of the series . Polly Plummer : Digory 's friend , who lives next door . Mabel Kirke : Digory 's mother . Andrew Ketterley : Digory 's uncle , a minor magician . Letitia Ketterley : Uncle Andrew 's sister . Jadis : Empress of Charn , who becomes the White Witch appearing in The Lion , the Witch and the Wardrobe . Aslan : The Lion who was the king of Narnia , who kills Jadis in The Lion , the Witch and the Wardrobe . King Frank : A cabby who is the husband of Helen , and the first king of Narnia , and forefather of the kings of Archenland . Queen Helen : The wife of Frank , the first queen of Narnia , and the ancestress of the Archenlanders . Fledge : The winged horse , formerly the cab - horse Strawberry , who carries Polly and Digory to the mountain garden . Writing ( edit ) Lewis had originally intended only to write the one Narnia novel , The Lion , the Witch and the Wardrobe . However , when Roger Lancelyn Green asked him how a lamp post came to be standing in the midst of Narnian woodland , Lewis was intrigued enough by the question to attempt to find an answer by writing The Magician 's Nephew , which features a younger version of Professor Kirke from the first novel . The Magician 's Nephew seems to have been the most challenging Narnia novel for Lewis to write . The other six Chronicles of Narnia were written between 1948 and 1953 , The Magician 's Nephew was written over a six - year period between 1949 and 1954 . He started in the summer of 1949 after finishing The Lion , the Witch and the Wardrobe , but came to a halt after producing 26 pages of manuscript and did not resume work until two years later . This may be as a result of the autobiographical aspects of the novel , as it reflects a number of incidents and parallels very close to his own experiences . He returned to The Magician 's Nephew late in 1950 , after completing The Silver Chair . He managed to finish close to three - quarters of the novel , and then halted work once again after Roger Green , to whom Lewis showed all his writing at the time , suggested there was a structural problem in the story . Finally he returned to the novel in 1953 , after finishing The Last Battle in the spring of that year and completed early in 1954 . Lewis originally titled the novel `` Polly and Digory '' ; his publisher changed it to The Magician 's Nephew . This book is dedicated to `` the Kilmer family '' . The Lefay Fragment ( edit ) The original opening of the novel differs greatly from the published version , and was abandoned by Lewis . It is now known as ' The Lefay Fragment ' , and is named after Mrs Lefay , Digory 's fairy godmother , who is mentioned in the final version as Uncle Andrew 's godmother , a less benevolent user of magic , who bequeathed him the box of dust used to create the magic rings . In the Lefay Fragment , Digory is born with the ability to speak to trees and animals , and lives with an Aunt Gertrude , a former school mistress with an officious , bullying nature , who has ended up as a Government minister after a lifetime of belligerent brow - beating of others . Whenever his aunt is absent , Digory finds solace with the animals and trees , including a talking squirrel named Pattertwig . Polly enters the story as a girl next door who is unable to understand the speech of non-human creatures . She wants to build a raft to explore a stream which leads to an underground world . Digory helps construct the raft , but ends up sawing a branch from a talking tree necessary to complete it , in order not to lose face with Polly . This causes him to lose his supernatural powers of speech . The following day he is visited by his godmother Mrs Lefay who knows that Digory has lost his abilities and gives him a card with the address of a furniture shop which she instructs him to visit . At this point the fragment ends . Pattertwig and Aunt Gertrude do not appear in the final version of the novel . Pattertwig does , however , appear as a Narnian creature in Prince Caspian , and Aunt Gertrude is the principal of the experimental school in The Silver Chair . Authenticity ( edit ) Some doubt has been cast on the authenticity of the Lefay Fragment , as the handwriting in the manuscript differs in some ways from Lewis ' usual style , and the writing is not of a similar calibre to his other work . Also in August 1963 Lewis had given instructions to Douglas Gresham to destroy all his unfinished or incomplete fragments of manuscript when his rooms at Magdalene College , Cambridge were being cleaned out , following his resignation from the college early in the month . Autobiographical elements ( edit ) A number of aspects of The Magician 's Nephew parallel Lewis ' own life . Both Digory and Lewis were children in the early 1900s , both wanted a pony , and both were faced with the death of their mothers in childhood . Digory is separated from his father , who is in India , and misses him . Lewis was schooled in England after his mother 's death , while his father remained in Ireland . He also had a brother in India . Lewis was a voracious reader when a child , Digory is also , and both are better with books than with numbers . Digory ( and Polly ) struggle with sums when trying to work out how far they must travel along the attic space to explore an abandoned house , Lewis failed the maths entrance exam for Oxford University . Lewis remembered rainy summer days from his youth and Digory is faced with the same woe in the novel . Additionally Digory becomes a professor when he grows up , who takes in evacuated children during World War II . The character of Andrew Ketterley also closely resembles Robert Capron , a schoolmaster at Wynyard School , which Lewis attended with his brother , whom Lewis suggested during his teens would make a good model for a villain in a future story . Ketterley resembles Capron in his age , appearance , and behaviour . Style ( edit ) The Magician 's Nephew is written in a lighter tone than other Chronicles of Narnia books , in particular The Last Battle , which was published after . It frequently makes use of humour ; this perhaps reflects the sense of looking back at an earlier part of the century with affection , and Lewis as a middle - aged man recalling his childhood during those years . There are a number of humorous references to life in the old days , in particular school life . Humorous exchanges also take place between Narnian animals . Jadis ' attempt to conquer London is portrayed as more comical than threatening , and further humour derives from the contrast between the evil empress and Edwardian London and its social mores , and her mistaking bumbling Andrew Ketterley for a powerful sorcerer . This recalls the style of Edith Nesbit 's children 's books . Lewis was fond of these books , which he read in childhood , a number were set in the same period and The Magician 's Nephew has some apparent references or homages to them . Reading order ( edit ) The Magician 's Nephew was originally published as the sixth book in the Narnia Chronicles . Most reprintings of the novels until the 1980s also reflected the order of original publication . In 1980 HarperCollins published the series ordered by the chronology of the events in the novels . This meant The Magician 's Nephew was numbered as the first in the series . HarperCollins , which had previously published editions of the novels outside the United States , also acquired the rights to publish the novels in that country in 1994 and used this sequence in the uniform worldwide edition published in that year . Laurence Krieg , a young fan , wrote to Lewis , asking him to adjudicate between his views of the correct sequence of reading the novels -- according to the sequence of events , with The Magician 's Nephew being placed first -- and that of his mother , who thought the order of publication was more appropriate . Lewis wrote back , appearing to support the younger Krieg 's views , although he did point out that the views of the author may not be the best guidance , and that perhaps it would not matter what order they were read in . However publication order reflects Lewis 's strategy for drawing readers into the world of Narnia . In the book he wrote first , Lucy Pevensie 's discovery of the wardrobe that opens onto a forest and a mysterious lamp post creates a sense of suspense about an unknown land she is discovering for the first time . This would be anticlimactic if the reader has already been introduced to Narnia in The Magician 's Nephew and already knows the origins of Narnia , the wardrobe , and the lamp post . Indeed , the narrative of The Magician 's Nephew appears to assume that the reader has already read The Lion , the Witch and the Wardrobe and is now being shown its beginnings . Paul Ford cites several scholars who have weighed in against the decision of HarperCollins to present the books in the order of their internal chronology , and continues , `` most scholars disagree with this decision and find it the least faithful to Lewis 's deepest intentions '' . Themes and interpretations ( edit ) Parallels with Biblical Genesis ( edit ) Lewis suggested that he did not directly intend to write his Narnia stories as Christian tales , but that these aspects appeared subconsciously as he wrote , although the books did become Christian as they progressed . He thought that the tales were not direct representations or allegory , but that they might evoke or remind readers of Biblical stories . In The Lion , the Witch and the Wardrobe , Aslan is a Christ - like figure who suffers a death of atonement and returns to life in a similar way to Christ 's crucifixion and resurrection . The Magician 's Nephew has similar biblical allusions , reflecting aspects of The Book of Genesis such as the creation , original sin and temptation . Parallels with events in Genesis include the forbidden fruit represented by an Apple of Life . Jadis tempts Digory to eat one of the forbidden apples in the garden , as the serpent tempts Eve into eating a forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden . Unlike Eve however , Digory rejects Jadis 's offer . ( It is noteworthy that also Lewis 's Perelandra features a re-enactment of the same Biblical story , which also in that book ends with the tempter foiled and the fall avoided . ) While the creation of Narnia closely echoes the creation of the Earth in the Book of Genesis , there are a number of important differences . Human beings are not created in Narnia by Aslan , they are brought into Narnia from our own world . Unlike Genesis , where souls are given only to human beings , animals and half - human half - animal creatures such as Fauns and Satyrs and even trees and watercourses are given souls and the power of rational thought and speech . This appears to suggest Lewis combined his Christian worldview with his fondness for nature , myth and fairy tales . Parallels may also be found in Lewis 's other writings . Jadis 's references to `` reasons of State '' , and her claim to own the people of Charn and to be beyond morality , represent the eclipse of the medieval Christian belief in natural law by the political concept of sovereignty , as embodied first in royal absolutism and then in modern dictatorships . Uncle Andrew represents the Faustian element in the origins of modern science . The Holy Spirit and the breath of life ( edit ) On a number of occasions in the Chronicles of Narnia , Aslan uses his breath to give strength to characters , demonstrating his benevolent power of bringing life . He specifically does so in The Magician 's Nephew when a ' long warm breath ' gives life to Narnia . Lewis used the symbol of the breath to represent the Holy Spirit , also known as the Holy Ghost . Both ' spirit ' and ' ghost ' are translations of the word for breath in Hebrew and Greek . The flash from the stars when the Narnian animals are given the ability to talk also most probably represents the Holy Spirit or `` breath of life '' of Genesis chapter 2 , as well as ( possibly ) the scholastic concept of the divine active intellect that inspires human beings with rationality . Nature and a natural order ( edit ) The Magician 's Nephew suggests two opposing approaches to nature , a good approach associated with Aslan as creator and an evil approach associated with human deviation from divine intentions and the harmony of a natural order . On the one hand there is the beauty of Aslan 's creation of Narnia , which is suggested as having a natural order by the use of musical harmony to bring landscapes and living things into being . There is also a distinct order to the process of creation , from earth to plants to animal , which evokes the concept of The Great Chain of Being . Lewis himself was a strong believer in the intrinsic value of nature for itself , rather than as a resource to be exploited . This is perhaps reflected in how Aslan also gives speech to spiritual aspects of nature , such naiads in the water and dryads in the trees . Andrew Ketterley and Jadis represent an opposite , evil approach of bending the forces of nature to human will for the purpose of self gain . They see nature solely as a resource to use for their plans and thus disturb and destroy the natural order . Influences ( edit ) Milton 's Paradise Lost ( edit ) The sacred Garden in the west of the Narnian world is surrounded by a `` high wall of green turf '' with branches of trees overhanging it , and `` high gates of gold , fast shut , facing due east '' , which must be the only entrance because the travellers `` walked nearly all the way round it '' before they found them . In all these points Lewis echoes Milton 's description of Eden in Paradise Lost : The verdurous wall of Paradise up sprung ... And higher than that Wall a circling row Of goodliest trees loaden with fairest fruit , Blossoms and fruits at once of golden hue , Appeerd , with gay enameld colours mixt ... One gate there only was , and that look 'd east On th ' other side ... The garden of the Hesperides ( edit ) Four years before the publication of the first Narnia book , Lewis had written as follows on the experience of reading really good poetry for the first time : ... I did not in the least feel that I was getting in more quantity or better quality a pleasure I had already known . It was more as if a cupboard which one had hitherto valued as a place for hanging coats proved one day , when you opened the door , to lead to the garden of the Hesperides ... The element of the cupboard leading to a new world Lewis proceeded to use in The Lion , the Witch and the Wardrobe , but the snowy Narnia of that book is quite unlike the balmy Garden of the Hesperides , most of whose major mythological features appear as attributes of the sacred Garden in The Magician 's Nephew where it differs from the Biblical or Miltonian Eden . It is set in the far West of the world ; it has a watchful guardian ; a hero ( Digory ) is sent , like Hercules , to fetch an apple from it ; a female villain ( Jadis ) steals another of the apples , like Eris . Since the eponymous Hesperides were daughters of Hesperus , the god of the planet Venus in the evening , advocates of the planetary theory adduce this as evidence for a special association between The Magician 's Nephew and Venus . Edith Nesbit ( edit ) Lewis read Edith Nesbit 's children 's books as a child and was greatly fond of them . The Magician 's Nephew refers to these books in the opening of the novel as though their events were true , mentioning the setting of the piece as being when `` Mr. Sherlock Holmes was still living in Baker Street and the Bastables were looking for treasure in the Lewisham Road '' . The Bastables were children who appeared in a number of Edith Nesbit 's stories . In addition to being set in the same period and location as several of Nesbit 's stories , The Magician 's Nephew also has some similarities with Nesbit 's The Story of the Amulet ( 1906 ) . This novel focuses on four children living in London who discover a magic amulet . Their father is away and their mother is ill , as is the case with Digory . They also manage to transport the queen of ancient Babylon to London and she is the cause of a riot ; a very similar event takes place in The Magician 's Nephew when Polly and Digory transport Queen Jadis to London and she also causes a similar disturbance . Creation of Narnia ( edit ) The creation of Narnia strongly reflects the Book of Genesis , but may also have been influenced by J.R.R. Tolkien 's The Silmarillion , which also contains a creation scene driven by the effect of music . Some of the details of the creation of Narnia , such as the emergence of animals from the ground , and the way they shake earth from their bodies are also similar to John Milton 's Paradise Lost , and may also have been inspired by descriptions of the processes of nature in The seventh book of Edmund Spenser 's The Faerie Queene . Morgan Le Fay and Pandora 's box ( edit ) Lewis greatly enjoyed stories of Arthurian legend and wrote poetry about this world . Mrs Lefay visits Digory in The Lefay Fragment , and becomes Andrew Ketterley 's nefarious godmother in the finished novel . She gives Ketterley a box from Atlantis containing the dust from which he constructs the rings Digory and Polly use to travel between worlds . Both Lefays are allusions to Morgan Le Fay , a powerful sorceress in a number of versions of King Arthur 's tales , who is often portrayed as evil . The box itself is also evocative of Pandora 's box from Greek myth , which also contained dangerous secrets . The Atlantis legend ( edit ) The box of dust enabling travel between worlds originated in Atlantis . Both Lewis and his close friend J.R.R. Tolkien were fascinated by the Atlantis legend . The degeneration of Charn 's rulers , Jadis ' ancestors , from the early kind and wise to the later cruel and arrogant is reminiscent of the similar degeneration in Tolkien 's Númenor , the fabled island kingdom that finally sank under the waves due to the sinfulness of its latter inhabitants . The world of Charn was destroyed when Jadis spoke The Deplorable Word , a form of knowledge ancient Charnian scholars feared for its destructive potential . A number of commentators believed Lewis was referring to the use of the atomic bomb , used less than a decade earlier . It is perhaps more likely that Lewis was echoing the mythical destruction of Atlantis by the forces of evil and arrogance . As noted by Alice Ward , the comparison with nuclear arms is made explicit in Aslan 's last warning : `` You ( Earth ) are growing more like it ( Charn ) . It is not certain that some wicked one of your race will not find out a secret as evil as The Deplorable Word and use it to destroy all living things '' . Adaptations ( edit ) Theatrical ( edit ) Aurand Harris was a well - known American playwright for children , whose works are among the most performed in that medium . He wrote 36 plays for children including an adaption of The Magician 's Nephew . The play was first performed on 26 May 1984 by the Department of Drama , University of Texas , Austin and staged at the B. Iden Payne Theatre . A musical score by William Penn was written for use with productions of the play . Erina Caradus wrote a playscript for The Magician 's Nephew that was performed in Dunedin , New Zealand in 2005 . Film ( edit ) 20th Century Fox , Walden , and the C.S. Lewis Estate finally decided that The Magician 's Nephew would be the basis for the next movie following the release of the 2010 film The Voyage of the Dawn Treader . However , in October 2011 , Douglas Gresham confirmed that Walden Media 's contract with the C.S. Lewis estate had expired , and any production of a future film was on hold indefinitely . On 1 October 2013 , The C.S. Lewis Company announced that they had entered into an agreement with The Mark Gordon Company to jointly develop and produce The Chronicles of Narnia : The Silver Chair , ultimately deciding to continue releasing the films to mirror the novel series ' publication order . The decision thus places the work on The Magician 's Nephew film on an indefinite hiatus . TV ( edit ) In 2008 , the BBC produced a 10 - part TV adaptation airing on BBC 2 . Critical reception ( edit ) T.M. Wagner of SF Reviews said `` The Magician 's Nephew may not be the best of the Narnia novels , but it 's a brisk and funny tale certain to delight its intended young audience '' , saying that it may not satisfy readers in their teenage years and older . Jandy 's Reading Room reviewed the book , saying that although they feel it is the weakest of the series , they would still recommend it . They say it `` gives a wonderful picture of the beginning of a new world , in the manner of the Creation .

"The frame story is set in England and features two children ensnared in experimental travel via \"the wood between the worlds\". Thus, the novel shows Narnia and our middle-age world to be only two of many in a multiverse, which changes as some worlds begin and others end. It also explains the origin of foreign elements in Narnia, not only the lamp-post but also the White Witch and a human king and queen."

To solve the problem , Laura invents a fictitious male superior she names Remington Steele . Through a series of events in the first episode , `` License to Steele , '' Pierce Brosnan 's character , a former thief and con man ( whose real name even he proves not to know , and is never revealed ) , assumes the identity of Remington Steele .

Recent evaluations , in the wake of the show 's full release on DVD , conclude that Steele was solidly crafted , well - acted and groundbreaking in its own way . Other recent evaluations have also noted that series has aged better than some other series of its time and genre . Innovations ( edit ) Remington Steele referenced film noir in the mystery storylines . It subverted 1970s detective show conventions by telling its stories from the point of view of an independent , professional woman . At a time when hour - long series were serious and half - hour series were humorous , Steele incorporated multiple styles of comedy into the standard detective format . It pioneered the slowly evolving `` will they or wo n't they '' relationship arc that is now common to television drama of all genres . Laura Holt as role model ( edit ) In an interview recorded in 2005 for a DVD special feature , Remington Steele co-creator Michael Gleason and star Stephanie Zimbalist discuss the large number of women who have approached them over the years to express their appreciation for the character of Laura Holt . Speaking of the women she meets , Zimbalist said `` They are extraordinary women ... They are interesting . They do interesting things . They are smart . They 're independent . They 're sort of , what my character was -- and I meet them all the time . '' Also in 2005 , Robin Rauzi published an article in the Los Angeles Times saying that Laura Holt was her hero . In a subsequent interview Rauzi elaborated , saying that Laura `` was one of the only examples of an unmarried modern career woman on TV that I could identify with at that time '' and that Laura `` did n't seem that far away from who I was and who I could be . '' Rauzi concludes , `` I 've decided to stop being embarrassed to say Remington Steele changed my life . It did and for the better . '' Series history ( edit ) Development ( edit ) Remington Steele 's initial premise was conceived in 1969 by long - time television director Robert Butler as a series featuring a solo female private investigator . Butler pitched the idea to Grant Tinker before he was head of MTM , but Tinker felt the series was ahead of its time . In January 1980 , following the success of several sitcoms featuring working women , including the groundbreaking Mary Tyler Moore Show , Butler and Tinker , now head of MTM , revived the concept . MTM Vice President of Programming Stu Erwin felt Butler 's concept was only `` half a show '' and suggested that Butler work with veteran writer Michael Gleason to expand the premise . Imagining Holt 's fictional boss , Gleason proposed to Butler , `` Would n't it be great if he showed up and made her crazy ? '' In 1981 , Gleason , Butler , Erwin and Tinker pitched the series to NBC , and were initially rejected by executives who failed to `` get '' the premise . Shortly thereafter , Tinker left MTM to become chairman of NBC , then the number three network , and subsequently a pilot was ordered . Stephanie Zimbalist , an established actress with roles in several television movies , was approached for the role of Laura Holt . At first she turned the series down , not wishing to be tied down to one show , but had a late - night change of heart . Pierce Brosnan ( best known then for his role in The Manions of America ) auditioned for the role of Remington Steele , but was initially refused by NBC executives who were concerned that Brosnan was a relative unknown in America . MTM 's Stu Erwin stood firm in a face to face meeting with NBC executive Brandon Tartikoff and Tartikoff relented . Originally , NBC asked for a pilot that imagined the series six months into its run , with the characters already working together in the detective agency . This pilot was produced in February and March 1982 , and was eventually aired with revisions as `` Tempered Steele . '' NBC had some concerns about audience confusion over this episode , but ultimately agreed to schedule the series for the 1982 - 83 season . NBC also asked for a premise pilot which told the story of how Laura Holt met the man who became Remington Steele . This second pilot , `` License to Steele , '' became the first episode aired in the series . Pierce Brosnan and Stephanie Zimbalist in Remington Steele . Season 1 ( edit ) The first season included two recurring characters : Murphy Michaels , a detective , and rival for Laura 's affections , played by James Read ; and Bernice Foxe , the secretary - receptionist , played by Janet DeMay . Both Murphy and Bernice knew that Remington Steele was a fraud . Episodes in the first season set in motion the slow evolution of the romantic relationship between Laura and `` Mr. Steele '' ( she never called him `` Remington '' in the course of the show 's run ) while revealing elements of the characters 's backstory . The first season established the pattern where each episode made direct reference to an old movie ( for example , The Maltese Falcon and The Thomas Crown Affair , which would be remade in 1999 , with Pierce Brosnan in the lead role of Thomas Crown ) . Key episodes include `` Thou Shalt Not Steele , '' which introduced Laura 's mother and Felicia , a woman from Steele 's past ; `` Sting of Steele , '' which introduced Daniel Chalmers ( Efrem Zimbalist Jr. , the real - life father of Stephanie ) as Steele 's former mentor ; and `` Vintage Steele , '' a fan favorite which focused on Laura 's past . Additionally , writer Joel Steiger won an Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America for his script for the first - season episode `` In The Steele of the Night . '' Remington Steele also received strong critical reviews in the first season , noting its intelligence and stylish sophistication . Season 2 ( edit ) At the end of season one , James Read made Michael Gleason aware that he was unhappy with the direction of his character . Gleason released him from the series and also let Janet DeMay go , thinking that the detective / investigator and secretary characters could be combined into one character . Gleason originally wrote the replacement character , Mildred Krebs , as an attractive 35 - year - old woman who was a rival for Steele 's affections . Doris Roberts , an established character actress who had recently won an Emmy for a guest role on St. Elsewhere , asked to read for the part . Although Roberts was not the right age for the character Gleason originally conceived , she won him over with her audition . Gleason then changed the character of Mildred Krebs to reflect the casting . NBC moved the series from Friday to Tuesday nights at 9pm following The A-Team , increasing its budget and prominence on the network schedule . The second season continued the slow evolution of the relationship between Laura and Steele , as he became a more competent detective . Key episodes include the two - hour season premiere , `` Steele Away With Me '' , filmed on location in Mexico ; `` Red Holt Steele '' , a fan favorite dramatic episode in which Laura 's house is destroyed in an explosion ; and `` Love Among the Steele '' , another fan favorite episode in which the agency acquires a 1936 Auburn Speedster , which was used symbolically in several subsequent episodes . Season 3 ( edit ) Remington Steele achieved its greatest ratings success in the third season , finishing the year in the top 25 . Key third - season episodes included the premiere , `` Steele At It '' , shot on location in Cannes ; `` Steele Your Heart Away '' , shot on location in Ireland ; and `` Maltese Steele '' , shot on location in Malta . The season also included `` Steele Trying '' , set in San Francisco and featuring the songs of Tony Bennett , and `` Diced Steele '' , filmed on location in Las Vegas . `` Puzzled Steele '' earned Doris Roberts an Emmy nomination for best supporting actress . The third season also included an episode , `` Steele in the Chips '' , co-written by Stephanie Zimbalist and writing partner Robin Bernheim . The final episode of the season ended with a cliffhanger as Laura and Steele seemed to be going their separate ways . Michael Gleason explained to the Los Angeles Times , `` We want to pull the relationship apart and bring it back together again with a little bit different attitude . '' Season 4 ( edit ) Season four was the final full season of the series . In the two - part season opener , `` Steele Searching '' , filmed on location in London , Mildred Krebs learned of Steele 's secret , changing the dynamics of the trio . Other key episodes , including `` Forged Steele '' , `` Steele in the Spotlight '' and `` Sensitive Steele '' , continued the slow evolution of the romantic relationship between the main characters . Facing a possible cancellation by NBC ( whose fortunes had now changed to become the number one network ) Gleason contrived a phony marriage between the characters in the final episode of season four , `` Bonds of Steele '' , as an attempt to garner additional interest and provoke NBC to pick up the series for a fifth season . Proposals for season 5 ( edit ) Gleason originally wanted the characters to have a real marriage at the end of season four and had plans for how to change the series in season five to accommodate the change , but both Brosnan and Zimbalist rejected the idea . Following that decision , Gleason pitched another concept for season five to NBC in May 1986 , introducing a character named `` Tony '' as a rival for Laura 's affections . Brief cancellation ( edit ) The series was cancelled at the end of the 1985 -- 86 television season , although it still had a 28 % share of the audience in its time slot . According to Michael Gleason , Brandon Tartikoff 's decision to give an early pick - up to the Stephen J. Cannell series Hunter left no room on the NBC schedule for Remington Steele . Two months after the cancellation , NBC executive Warren Littlefield reversed the decision , responding to an outpouring of support from fans and a sharp upswing in the show 's ratings during the summer of 1986 . The cancellation and reversal affected film roles for Brosnan and Zimbalist , as both had received firm offers to do films in the interim . Albert R. `` Cubby '' Broccoli offered Brosnan the part of James Bond for the film The Living Daylights . Following NBC 's reversal , Broccoli stated he did not want Bond to be identified with a current TV series , and instead gave the role to Timothy Dalton . Brosnan finally became 007 in 1995 , making his debut in the film Goldeneye . Zimbalist had accepted the role of Officer Anne Lewis in the science - fiction movie RoboCop and was forced to pull out of that production , to be replaced by Nancy Allen . Final season ( edit ) NBC reversed the cancellation , but did not slot a full twenty - two episode season into their schedule . The final abbreviated season consisted of six hours of made - for - TV films broadcast in early 1987 , including installments filmed on location in Mexico , London , and Ireland . Jack Scalia joined the cast as a rival for Laura 's affections . The circumstances surrounding Steele 's birth as well as the identity of Steele 's father are revealed in the final episode . The final scene of the series implied that Steele and Laura were about to consummate their relationship . Rumors of discord ( edit ) Although part of the show 's appeal was the sexual tension between the main characters , in real life the production was dogged for years by rumors that its two leads did not get along . Brosnan and Zimbalist have admitted some level of personal conflict in press interviews during and since , attributing some of it to the stress of long working hours , while also maintaining that it did not damage their ability to work together . Whatever discord there may have been at the time of production , Brosnan and Zimbalist speak fondly of one another in more recent interviews , and are occasionally in touch . In an interview included on the DVD release of Season 1 , Brosnan says they did get along and trusted one another professionally . Brosnan also praises Zimbalist 's acting on his official web site , saying that he would work with her again on the right project . Zimbalist returned the compliment in a 2011 interview with the New Jersey Star - Ledger , saying `` Pierce Brosnan is a very sweet man . '' Reboot projects ( edit ) Film : With the release of the series on DVD in 2005 , Pierce Brosnan expressed interest in developing a Remington Steele feature film through his production company , Irish Dream Time , but later stated on his web site that it is unlikely to be produced . Television : In October 2013 NBC announced plans to reboot the series as a half hour comedy . NBC 's deal with 20th Century Fox has screenwriters and a director attached , but no cast is yet attached . DVD releases ( edit ) 20th Century Fox has released all five seasons of Remington Steele on DVD in Region 1 in four box sets . The Season 1 DVD inadvertently echoed an ongoing joke in the series in that Stephanie Zimbalist , who had top star billing when the show was on air , was initially omitted from all promotional material connected with its release , as well as the DVD box itself , as Fox Video chose to promote Pierce Brosnan as the sole star . Subsequently , a sticker saying `` Also starring Stephanie Zimbalist '' was added to the packaging as an afterthought . This omission was corrected with the release of the second season which gave Zimbalist star billing with her photograph appearing on the box . Additionally , Zimbalist is featured on the behind - the - scenes featurettes contained therein . The first season boxed set also has a picture of Doris Roberts on the back cover , even though she did n't join the show until the second season . Season 1 has also been released in Region 2 & 4 . DVD set Episodes Release date Remington Steele : Season One 22 July 26 , 2005 Remington Steele : Season Two 22 November 8 , 2005 Remington Steele : Season Three 22 April 18 , 2006 Remington Steele : Seasons Four & Five 28 August 15 , 2006 Syndication ( edit ) After a nearly two decade absence from local syndication , the series returned to broadcast TV and was seen from September 3 to December 31 , 2012 on MeTV , and has resumed for September 2013 . It is also currently airing on Family Net . Reruns have previously aired on A&E from 1995 to 1997 and again on PAX ( now Ion Television ) from 2000 to 2001 . It has also aired in India on Star Plus in early 1990s to March 31 , 1993 . MeTV also ran the series starting Memorial Day 2017 , in place of Diagnosis Murder , beginning with the first episode of the second season . But effective 8 / 21 / 2017 , Diagnosis Murder returns , picking up from where they left off with season 8 episode 7 : `` Hot House '' . In The UK , Freeview Channel 5USA , started showing the series from the first episode on October 30 , 2017 Production notes ( edit ) Every episode title has the word `` Steele '' in it . At the end of every episode , the MTM kitten `` Mimsie '' has an animated deerstalker 's cap on its head and a meerschaum pipe in its mouth , a la Sherlock Holmes . The pipe falls from the kitten 's mouth and bounces twice on the bottom of the screen as it meows . References ( edit ) Jump up ^ Mark Murphy and Frank Swertlow , `` Why Would I Do a Poster ?

7218202498488123185 | Equal Employment Opportunity Commission | Equal Employment Opportunity Commission - wikipedia Equal Employment Opportunity Commission Jump to : navigation , search Equal Employment Opportunity Commission Agency overview Formed July 2 , 1965 Headquarters Washington , D.C. Employees 2,539 ( March 2011 ) Annual budget $344 million ( 2009 ) Agency executives Victoria Lipnic , Acting Chair Vacant , General Counsel Chai Feldblum , Commissioner Jenny R. Yang , Commissioner Charlotte Burrows , Commissioner Website www.eeoc.gov The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ( EEOC ) is a federal agency that administers and enforces civil rights laws against workplace discrimination . The EEOC investigates discrimination complaints based on an individual 's race , children , national origin , religion , sex , age , disability , sexual orientation , gender identity , genetic information , and retaliation for reporting , participating in , and / or opposing a discriminatory practice . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Staffing , workload , and backlog 3 Race and ethnicity 4 Investigative compliance policy 5 Increase in disability - based charges 6 Home Depot disability discrimination suit 7 2012 profile 8 Criticism 9 Commissioners 10 Chairs 11 See also 12 References 13 External links History ( edit ) On March 6 , 1961 , President John F. Kennedy signed Executive Order 10925 , which required government contractors to `` take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed and that employees are treated during employment without regard to their race , creed , color , or national origin . '' It established the President 's Committee on Equal Employment Opportunity of which then Vice President Lyndon Johnson was appointed to head . This was the forerunner of the EEOC . The EEOC was established on July 2 , 1965 ; its mandate is specified under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 , the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 ( ADEA ) , the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 , the Americans with Disabilities Act ( ADA ) of 1990 , and the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 . The EEOC 's first complainants were female flight attendants . However , the EEOC at first ignored sex discrimination complaints , and the prohibition against sex discrimination in employment went unenforced for the next few years . One EEOC director called the prohibition `` a fluke ... conceived out of wedlock . '' All Commission seats and the post of general counsel to the commission are filled by the US President , subject to confirmation by the Senate . Stuart J. Ishimaru , a Commissioner who was confirmed in 2003 and 2006 , served as Acting Chair of the Commission from January 20 , 2009 until December 22 , 2010 , when the Senate confirmed Jacqueline Berrien to be the chairwoman . She had been nominated as chairwoman by President Barack Obama in July 2009 . In September 2009 , Obama chose Chai Feldblum to fill another vacant seat . On March 27 , 2010 , President Obama made recess appointments of three Commission posts : Berrien , Feldblum , and Victoria Lipnic . With the appointments , the Commission had its full five Commissioners : Ishimaru , Berrien , Feldblum , Lipnic , and Constance Barker , who was confirmed by the Senate in 2008 to be a Commissioner . President Obama also made a recess appointment of P. David Lopez to be the EEOC 's General Counsel . On December 22 , 2010 , the Senate gave full confirmation to Berrien , Feldblum , Lipnic , and Lopez . In 2011 , the Commission included `` sex - stereotyping '' of lesbian , gay , and bisexual individuals , as a form of sex discrimination illegal under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 . In 2012 , the Commission expanded protection provided by Title VII to transgender status and gender identity . After the departure of Ishimaru , the commission returned to its full five commissioners on April 25 , 2013 , with the Senate confirmation of Jenny Yang . In 2015 , it concluded that for Title VII , sex discrimination includes discrimation based on sexual orientation . However , the rulings , while persuasive , are not binding on courts and would need to be addressed by the Supreme Court for a final decision . The Commission also mediates and settles thousands of discrimination complaints each year prior to their investigation . The EEOC is also empowered to file civil discrimination suits against employers on behalf of alleged victims and to adjudicate claims of discrimination brought against federal agencies . Staffing , workload , and backlog ( edit ) In 1975 , when the backlog reached more than 100,000 charges to be investigated , President Gerald Ford 's full requested budget of $62 million was approved . A `` Backlog Unit '' was created in Philadelphia in 1978 to resolve the thousands of federal equal employment complaints inherited from the Civil Service Commission . In 1980 , Eleanor Holmes Norton began re-characterizing the backlog cases as `` workload '' in her reports to Congress , thus fulfilling her promise to eliminate the backlog . In June 2006 , civil rights and labor union advocates publicly complained that the effectiveness of the EEOC was being undermined by budget and staff cuts and the outsourcing of complaint screening to a private contractor whose workers were poorly trained . In 2006 , a partial budget freeze prevented the agency from filling vacant jobs , and its staff had shrunk by nearly 20 percent from 2001 . A Bush administration official stated that the cuts had been made because it was necessary to direct more money to defense and homeland security . By 2008 , the EEOC had lost 25 percent of its staff over the previous eight years , including investigators and lawyers who handle the cases . The number of complaints to investigate grew to 95,400 in fiscal 2008 , up 26 percent from 2006 . Although full - time staffing of the EEOC was cut between 2002 and 2006 , Congress increased the commission 's budget during that period , as it has almost every year since 1980 . The budget was $303 million in fiscal year 2001 to $327 million in fiscal year 2006 . The outsourcing to Pearson Government Solutions in Kansas cost the agency $4.9 million and was called a `` huge waste of money '' by the president of the EEOC employees ' union in 2006 . The EEOC uses punitive monetary fines as their primary form of deterrence ; it is likely that because the EEOC has not adjusted a great many of their fines for inflation , the backlog of EEOC cases illustrates eroding deterrence . Race and ethnicity ( edit ) The EEOC requires employers to report various information about their employees , in particular their racial / ethnic categories , to prevent discrimination based on race / ethnicity . The definitions used in the report have been different at different times . In 1997 , the Office of Management and Budget gave a Federal Register Notice , the `` Revisions to the Standards for the Classification of Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity , '' which defined new racial and ethnic definitions . As of September 30 , 2007 , the EEO 's EEO - 1 report must use the new racial and ethnic definitions in establishing grounds for racial or ethnic discrimination . If an employee identifies their ethnicity as `` Hispanic or Latino '' as well as a race , the race is not reported in EEO - 1 , but it is kept as part of the employment record . A person 's color or physical appearance can be grounds for a case of racial discrimination as well . Discrimination based on national origin can be grounds for a case on discrimination as well . Investigative compliance policy ( edit ) EEOC applies an investigative compliance policy when respondents are unco - operative in providing information during an investigation of a charge . If a respondent fails to turn over requested information , field offices are to subpoena the information , file a direct suit on the merits of a charge , or use the legal principle of adverse inference , which assumes the withheld information is against the respondent . Increase in disability - based charges ( edit ) In 2008 , disability - based charges handled by the EEOC rose to a record 19,543 , up 10.2 percent from the prior year and the highest level since 1995 . That may again be showing that because the EEOC has not adjusted many of their initial 1991 fines for inflation , the backlog of EEOC cases illustrates erosion of deterrence . Home Depot disability discrimination Suit ( edit ) In September 2012 , Home Depot agreed to pay $100,000 and furnish other relief to settle a disability discrimination lawsuit filed by the EEOC for the alleged failure to provide reasonable accommodation for a cashier with cancer at its Towson , Maryland , store and for later purportedly firing her because of her condition . 2012 profile ( edit ) The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ( EEOC ) announced that it received 99,412 private sector workplace discrimination charges during fiscal year 2012 , down slightly from the previous year . The year - end data also show that retaliation ( 37,836 ) , race ( 33,512 ) , and sex discrimination ( 30,356 ) , which includes allegations of sexual harassment and pregnancy were the most frequently filed charges . Additionally , the EEOC achieved a second consecutive year of a significant reduction in the charge inventory , something not seen since fiscal year 2002 . Due to a concerted effort , the EEOC reduced the pending inventory of private sector charges by 10 percent from fiscal year 2011 , bringing the inventory level to 70,312 . This inventory reduction is the second consecutive decrease of almost ten percent in charge inventory . Also this fiscal year , the agency obtained the largest amount of monetary recovery from private sector and state and local government employers through its administrative process -- $365.4 million . In fiscal year 2012 , the EEOC filed 122 lawsuits , including 86 individual suits , 26 multiple - victim suits , with fewer than 20 victims , and 10 systemic suits . The EEOC 's legal staff resolved 254 lawsuits for a total monetary recovery of $44.2 million . EEOC also continued its emphasis on eliminating alleged systemic patterns of discrimination in the workplace . In fiscal year 2012 , EEOC completed 240 systemic investigations which in part resulted in 46 settlements or conciliation agreements . These settlements , achieved without litigation , secured 36.2 million dollars for the victims of unlawful discrimination . In addition , the agency filed 12 systemic lawsuits in fiscal year 2012 . Overall , the agency secured both monetary and non-monetary benefits for more than 23,446 people through administrative enforcement activities -- mediation , settlements , conciliations , and withdrawals with benefits . The number of charges resolved through successful conciliation , the last step in the EEOC administrative process prior to litigation , increased by 18 percent over 2011 . Criticism ( edit ) Some employment - law professionals criticized the agency after it issued advice that requiring a high school diploma from job applicants could violate the Americans with Disabilities Act . The advice letter stated that the longtime lowest common denominator of employee screening must be `` job - related for the position in question and consistent with business necessity . '' A Ballard Spahr lawyer suggested , `` There will be less incentive for the general public to obtain a high school diploma if many employers eliminate that requirement for job applicants in their workplace . '' The EEOC has been criticized for alleged heavy - handed tactics in their 1980 lawsuit against retailer Sears , Roebuck & Co . Based on a statistical analysis of personnel and promotions , EEOC argued that Sears both was systematically excluding women from high - earning positions in commission sales and was paying female management lower wages than male management . Sears , represented by lawyer Charles Morgan , Jr. , counter-argued that the company had encouraged female applicants for sales and management , but women preferred lower - paying positions with more stable daytime working hours , as compared to commission sales , which demanded evening and weekend shifts and featured drastically - varying paychecks , depending on the numbers of sales in a given pay period . In 1986 , the court ruled in favor of Sears on all counts and noted that the EEOC had neither produced a single witness who alleged discrimination nor identified any Sears policy that discriminated against women . In a 2011 ruling against the EEOC , Judge Loretta A. Preska declared that It relied too heavily on anecdotal claims rather than on hard data , in a lawsuit against Bloomberg , L.P. that alleged discrimination against pregnant employees . In a ruling described in the New York Times as `` strongly worded , '' Preska wrote , `` the law does not mandate ' work - life balance'l and added that while Bloomberg had expected high levels of dedication from employees , the company did not treat women who took pregnancy leave differently from those who took leave for other reasons .

-8680675249606792961 | Roman conquest of Britain | Roman conquest of Britain - wikipedia Roman conquest of Britain Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the conquest begun in AD 43 . For other Roman invasions of Britain , see Caesar 's invasions of Britain and Carausian Revolt . Roman conquest of Britain . The Roman conquest of Britain was a gradual process , beginning effectively in AD 43 under Emperor Claudius , whose general Aulus Plautius served as first governor of Roman Britain ( Latin : Britannia ) . Great Britain had already frequently been the target of invasions , planned and actual , by forces of the Roman Republic and Roman Empire . In common with other regions on the edge of the empire , Britain had enjoyed diplomatic and trading links with the Romans in the century since Julius Caesar 's expeditions in 55 and 54 BC , and Roman economic and cultural influence was a significant part of the British late pre-Roman Iron Age , especially in the south . Between 55 BC and the 40s AD , the status quo of tribute , hostages , and client states without direct military occupation , begun by Caesar 's invasions of Britain , largely remained intact . Augustus prepared invasions in 34 BC , 27 BC and 25 BC . The first and third were called off due to revolts elsewhere in the empire , the second because the Britons seemed ready to come to terms . According to Augustus 's Res Gestae , two British kings , Dubnovellaunus and Tincomarus , fled to Rome as suppliants during his reign , and Strabo 's Geography , written during this period , says Britain paid more in customs and duties than could be raised by taxation if the island were conquered . By the 40s AD , the political situation within Britain was apparently in ferment . The Catuvellauni had displaced the Trinovantes as the most powerful kingdom in south - eastern Britain , taking over the former Trinovantian capital of Camulodunum ( Colchester ) , and were pressing their neighbours the Atrebates , ruled by the descendants of Julius Caesar 's former ally Commius . Caligula planned a campaign against the Britons in 40 , but its execution was bizarre : according to Suetonius ' The Twelve Caesars , he drew up his troops in battle formation facing the English Channel and , once his forces had become quite confused , ordered them to gather seashells , referring to them as `` plunder from the ocean due to the Capitol and the Palace '' . Modern historians are unsure if that was meant to be an ironic punishment for the soldiers ' mutiny or due to Caligula 's derangement . Certainly this invasion attempt readied the troops and facilities that would make Claudius ' invasion possible three years later . For example , Caligula built a lighthouse at Bononia ( modern Boulogne - sur - Mer ) , the Tour D'Ordre , that provided a model for the one built soon after at Dubris ( Dover ) .

Aulus Plautius , a distinguished senator , was given overall charge of four legions , totalling about 20,000 men , plus about the same number of auxiliaries . The legions were : Legio II Augusta Legio IX Hispana Legio XIV Gemina Legio XX Valeria Victrix The II Augusta is known to have been commanded by the future emperor Vespasian . Three other men of appropriate rank to command legions are known from the sources to have been involved in the invasion . Cassius Dio mentions Gnaeus Hosidius Geta , who probably led the IX Hispana , and Vespasian 's brother Titus Flavius Sabinus the Younger . He wrote that Sabinus was Vespasian 's lieutenant , but as Sabinus was the older brother and preceded Vespasian into public life , he could hardly have been a military tribune . Eutropius mentions Gnaeus Sentius Saturninus , although as a former consul he may have been too senior , and perhaps accompanied Claudius later . Crossing and landing ( edit ) Main article : Site of the Claudian invasion of Britain The main invasion force under Aulus Plautius crossed in three divisions . The port of departure is usually taken to have been Boulogne ( Latin : Bononia ) , and the main landing at Rutupiae ( Richborough , on the east coast of Kent ) . Neither of these locations is certain . Dio does not mention the port of departure , and although Suetonius says that the secondary force under Claudius sailed from Boulogne , it does not necessarily follow that the entire invasion force did . Richborough has a large natural harbour which would have been suitable , and archaeology shows Roman military occupation at about the right time . However , Dio says the Romans sailed east to west , and a journey from Boulogne to Richborough is south to north . Some historians suggest a sailing from Boulogne to the Solent , landing in the vicinity of Noviomagus ( Chichester ) or Southampton , in territory formerly ruled by Verica . An alternative explanation might be a sailing from the mouth of the Rhine to Richborough , which would be east to west . River battles ( edit ) British resistance was led by Togodumnus and Caratacus , sons of the late king of the Catuvellauni , Cunobeline . A substantial British force met the Romans at a river crossing thought to be near Rochester on the River Medway . The battle raged for two days . Hosidius Geta was almost captured , but recovered and turned the battle so decisively that he was awarded the `` Roman triumph '' . The British were pushed back to the Thames . They were pursued by the Romans across the river causing some Roman losses in the marshes of Essex . Whether the Romans made use of an existing bridge for this purpose or built a temporary one is uncertain . At least one division of auxiliary Batavian troops swam across the river as a separate force . Togodumnus died shortly after the battle on the Thames . Plautius halted and sent word for Claudius to join him for the final push . Cassius Dio presents this as Plautius needing the emperor 's assistance to defeat the resurgent British , who were determined to avenge Togodumnus . However , Claudius was no military man . Claudius 's arch says he received the surrender of eleven kings without any loss , and Suetonius ' The Twelve Caesars says that Claudius received the surrender of the Britons without battle or bloodshed . It is likely that the Catuvellauni were already as good as beaten , allowing the emperor to appear as conqueror on the final march on Camulodunum . Cassius Dio relates that he brought war elephants and heavy armaments which would have overawed any remaining native resistance . Eleven tribes of South East Britain surrendered to Claudius and the Romans prepared to move further west and north . The Romans established their new capital at Camulodunum and Claudius returned to Rome to celebrate his victory . Caratacus escaped and would continue the resistance further west . AD 44 -- 60 ( edit ) Roman campaigns from AD 43 to 60 . Campaigns under Aulus Plautius , focused on the commercially valuable southeast of Britain . The Roman Empire in AD 54 . Vespasian took a force westwards subduing tribes and capturing oppida as he went , going at least as far as Exeter , which would appear to have become an early base for Leg. II Augusta . Legio IX Hispana was sent north towards Lincoln ( Latin : Lindum Colonia ) and within four years of the invasion it is likely that an area south of a line from the Humber to the Severn Estuary was under Roman control . That this line is followed by the Roman road of the Fosse Way has led many historians to debate the route 's role as a convenient frontier during the early occupation . It is more likely that the border between Roman and Iron Age Britain was less direct and more mutable during this period . Late in 47 the new governor of Britain , Publius Ostorius Scapula , began a campaign against the tribes of modern - day Wales , and the Cheshire Gap . The Silures of southeast Wales caused considerable problems to Ostorius and fiercely defended the Welsh border country . Caratacus himself was defeated in the Battle of Caer Caradoc and fled to the Roman client tribe of the Brigantes who occupied the Pennines . Their queen , Cartimandua was unable or unwilling to protect him however given her own truce with the Romans and handed him over to the invaders . Ostorius died and was replaced by Aulus Didius Gallus who brought the Welsh borders under control but did not move further north or west , probably because Claudius was keen to avoid what he considered a difficult and drawn - out war for little material gain in the mountainous terrain of upland Britain . When Nero became emperor in 54 , he seems to have decided to continue the invasion and appointed Quintus Veranius as governor , a man experienced in dealing with the troublesome hill tribes of Anatolia . Veranius and his successor Gaius Suetonius Paulinus mounted a successful campaign across Wales , famously destroying the druidical centre at Mona or Anglesey in 60 at what historians later called the Menai Massacre . Final occupation of Wales was postponed however when the rebellion of Boudica forced the Romans to return to the south east . The Silures were not finally conquered until circa 76 when Sextus Julius Frontinus ' long campaign against them began to have success . AD 60 -- 78 ( edit ) Following the successful suppression of Boudica 's uprising , a number of new Roman governors continued the conquest by edging north . Cartimandua was forced to ask for Roman aid following a rebellion by her husband Venutius . Quintus Petillius Cerialis took his legions from Lincoln as far as York and defeated Venutius near Stanwick around 70 . This resulted in the already Romanised Brigantes and Parisii tribes being further assimilated into the empire proper . Frontinus was sent into Roman Britain in 74 to succeed Quintus Petillius Cerialis as governor of that island . He subdued the Silures and other hostile tribes of Wales , establishing a new base at Caerleon for Legio II Augusta ( Isca Augusta ) and a network of smaller forts fifteen to twenty kilometres apart for his auxiliary units . During his tenure , he probably established the fort at Pumsaint in west Wales , largely to exploit the gold deposits at Dolaucothi . He retired in 78 , and later he was appointed water commissioner in Rome . The new governor was Gnaeus Julius Agricola , made famous through the highly laudatory biography of him written by his son - in - law , Tacitus . Campaigns of Agricola ( AD 78 -- 84 ) ( edit ) Agricola 's campaigns . Northern campaigns . Roman military organization in the north . The Roman Empire in AD 96 . Arriving in mid-summer of 78 , Agricola found several previously defeated peoples had re-established their independence . The first to be dealt with were the Ordovices of north Wales , who had destroyed a cavalry ala of Roman auxiliaries stationed in their territory . Knowing the terrain from his prior military service in Britain , he was able to move quickly to defeat and virtually exterminate them . He then invaded Anglesey , forcing the inhabitants to sue for peace . The following year he moved against the Brigantes of northern England and the Selgovae along the southern coast of Scotland , using overwhelming military power to re-establish Roman control . Scotland before Agricola ( edit ) Details of the early years of the Roman occupation in North Britain are unclear but began no earlier than 71 , as Tacitus says that in that year Petillius Cerialis ( governor 71 -- 74 ) waged a successful war against the Brigantes , whose territory straddled Britain along the Solway - Tyne line . Tacitus praises both Cerialis and his successor Julius Frontinus ( governor 75 -- 78 ) , but provides no additional information on events prior to 79 regarding the lands or peoples living north of the Brigantes . The Romans certainly would have followed up their initial victory over the Brigantes in some manner . In particular , archaeology has shown the Romans campaigned and built military camps in the north along Gask Ridge , controlling the glens that provided access to and from the Scottish Highlands , and also throughout the Scottish Lowlands in northeastern Scotland . In describing Agricola 's campaigns , Tacitus does not explicitly state that this is actually a return to lands previously occupied by Rome , where Roman occupation either had been thrown off by the Brittonic inhabitants , or had been abandoned by the Romans . Agricola in Caledonia ( edit ) Tacitus says that after a combination of force and diplomacy quieted discontent among the Britons who had been conquered previously , Agricola built forts in their territories in 79 . In 80 he marched to the Firth of Tay ( some historians hold that he stopped along the Firth of Forth in that year ) , not returning south until 81 , at which time he consolidated his gains in the new lands that he had conquered , and in the rebellious lands that he had re-conquered . In 82 he sailed to either Kintyre or the shores of Argyll , or to both . In 83 and 84 he moved north along Scotland 's eastern and northern coasts using both land and naval forces , campaigning successfully against the inhabitants , and winning a significant victory over the northern British peoples led by Calgacus at the Battle of Mons Graupius . Prior to his recall in 84 , Agricola built a network of military roads and forts to secure the Roman occupation . Existing forts were strengthened and new ones planted in northeastern Scotland along the Highland Line , consolidating control of the glens that provided access to and from the Scottish Highlands . The line of military communication and supply along southeastern Scotland and northeastern England ( i.e. , Dere Street ) was well - fortified . In southern-most Caledonia , the lands of the Selgovae ( approximating to modern Dumfriesshire and the Stewartry of Kirkcudbright ) were heavily planted with forts , not only establishing effective control there , but also completing a military enclosure of south - central Scotland ( most of the Southern Uplands , Teviotdale , and western Tweeddale ) . In contrast to Roman actions against the Selgovae , the territories of the Novantae , Damnonii , and Votadini were not planted with forts , and there is nothing to indicate that the Romans were at war with them . AD 84 -- 96 ( edit ) Agricola was recalled to Rome by Domitian . His successors are not named in any surviving source , but it seems they were unable or unwilling to further subdue the far north . The fortress at Inchtuthil was dismantled before its completion and the other fortifications of the Gask Ridge in Perthshire , erected to consolidate the Roman presence in Scotland in the aftermath of Mons Graupius , were abandoned within the space of a few years . It is equally likely that the costs of a drawn - out war outweighed any economic or political benefit and it was more profitable to leave the Caledonians alone and only under de jure submission . Failure to conquer Caledonia ( edit ) Main article : Scotland during the Roman Empire Roman occupation was withdrawn to a line subsequently established as one of the limites ( singular limes ) of the empire ( i.e. a defensible frontier ) by the construction of Hadrian 's Wall . An attempt was made to push this line north to the River Clyde - River Forth area in 142 when the Antonine Wall was constructed . This was once again abandoned after two decades and only subsequently re-occupied on an occasional basis . The Romans retreated to the earlier and stronger Hadrian 's Wall in the River Tyne Solway Firth frontier area , this having been constructed around 122 . Roman troops , however , penetrated far into the north of modern Scotland several more times . Indeed , there is a greater density of Roman marching camps in Scotland than anywhere else in Europe as a result of at least four major attempts to subdue the area . The most notable was in 209 when the emperor Septimius Severus , claiming to be provoked by the belligerence of the Maeatae tribe , campaigned against the Caledonian Confederacy , a coalition of Brittonic Pictish tribes of the north of Britain . He used the three legions of the British garrison ( augmented by the recently formed 2nd Parthica legion ) , 9000 imperial guards with cavalry support , and numerous auxiliaries supplied from the sea by the British fleet , the Rhine fleet and two fleets transferred from the Danube for the purpose . According to Dio Cassius , he inflicted genocidal depredations on the natives and incurred the loss of 50,000 of his own men to the attrition of guerrilla tactics before having to withdraw to Hadrian 's Wall . He repaired and reinforced the wall with a degree of thoroughness that led most subsequent Roman authors to attribute the construction of the wall to him . It was during the negotiations to purchase the truce necessary to secure the Roman retreat to the wall that the first recorded utterance , attributable with any reasonable degree of confidence , to a native of Scotland was made ( as recorded by Dio Cassius ) . When Septimius Severus 's wife , Julia Domna , criticised the sexual morals of the Caledonian women , the wife of a Caledonian chief , Argentocoxos , replied : `` We consort openly with the best of men while you allow yourselves to be debauched in private by the worst '' . The emperor Septimius Severus died at York while planning to renew hostilities , and these plans were abandoned by his son Caracalla . Later excursions into Scotland by the Romans were generally limited to the scouting expeditions of exploratores in the buffer zone that developed between the walls , trading contacts , bribes to purchase truces from the natives , and eventually the spread of Christianity . The degree to which the Romans interacted with the Gaelic speaking island of Hibernia ( modern Ireland ) is still unresolved amongst archaeologists in Ireland . The successes and failures of the Romans in subduing the peoples of Britain are still represented in the political geography of the British Isles today .

"The Roman conquest of Britain was a gradual process, beginning effectively in AD 43 under Emperor Claudius, whose general Aulus Plautius served as first governor of Roman Britain (Latin: Britannia). Great Britain had already frequently been the target of invasions, planned and actual, by forces of the Roman Republic and Roman Empire. In common with other regions on the edge of the empire, Britain had enjoyed diplomatic and trading links with the Romans in the century since Julius Caesar's expeditions in 55 and 54 BC, and Roman economic and cultural influence was a significant part of the British late pre-Roman Iron Age, especially in the south."

Today the neighborhood consists of only a few Italian stores and restaurants . It is bounded on the west by Tribeca and Soho , on the south by Chinatown , on the east by the Bowery and Lower East Side , and on the north by Nolita . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Historic and current demographics 3 Cultural attractions 4 Organized crime and the Mafia 5 In popular culture 6 Other Italian American neighborhoods in New York City 7 See also 8 References 9 External links History ( edit ) Little Italy on Mulberry Street used to extend as far south as Worth Street , as far north as Houston Street , as far west as Lafayette Street , and as far east as Bowery . It is now only three blocks on Mulberry Street . Little Italy originated as Mulberry Bend . Jacob Riis described Mulberry Bend as `` the foul core of New York 's slums . '' During this time period `` Immigrants of the late 19th century usually settled in ethnic neighborhood '' . Therefore , the `` mass immigration from italy during the 1880 's '' led to the large settlement of Italian immigrants in lower manhattan . The results of such migration had created an `` influx of Italian immigrants '' which had `` led to the commercial gathering of their dwelling and business '' . Bill Tonelli from New York magazine said , `` Once , Little Italy was like an insular Neapolitan village re-created on these shores , with its own language , customs , and financial and cultural institutions . '' Little Italy was not the largest Italian neighborhood in New York City , as East Harlem ( or Italian Harlem ) had a larger Italian population . Tonelli said that Little Italy `` was perhaps the city 's poorest Italian neighborhood '' . In 1910 Little Italy had almost 10,000 Italians ; that was the peak of the community 's Italian population . At the turn of the 20th century over 90 % of the residents of the Fourteenth Ward were of Italian birth or origins . Tonnelli said that it meant `` that residents began moving out to more spacious digs almost as soon as they arrived . '' Such a vastly gowing community impacted the `` U.S. labor movement in the 20th century '' by making up much of the labor population in the garment industry `` . After World War II , many residents of the Lower East Side began moving to Brooklyn , Staten Island , eastern Long Island , and New Jersey . Chinese immigrants became an increased presence after the U.S. Immigration Act of 1965 removed immigration restrictions , and the Manhattan Chinatown to Little Italy 's south expanded . In 2004 , Tonelli said , `` You can go back 30 years and find newspaper clips chronicling the expansion of Chinatown and mourning the loss of Little Italy . '' Prior to 2004 , several upscale businesses entered the northern portion of the area between Houston and Kenmare Street . Tonelli said `` Real - estate prices zoomed , making it even tougher for the old - timers -- residents and businesspeople alike -- to hang on . '' After the September 11 attacks in 2001 , areas below Houston Street were cut off for the rest of the fall of 2001 . The San Gennaro feast , scheduled for September 13 , was postponed . Business from the Financial District dropped severely , due to the closure of Park Row , which connected Chinatown and the Civic Center ; as a result , residents in Little Italy and Chinatown suffered . Tonelli said the post-9 / 11 events `` strangely enough , ended up motivating all these newfangled efforts to save what 's left of the old neighborhood . '' In 2004 Tonelli said `` Today , Little Italy is a veneer -- 50 or so restaurants and cafés catering to tourists , covering a dense neighborhood of tenements shared by recent Chinese immigrants , young Americans who ca n't afford Soho , and a few remaining real live Italians . '' This sentiment has also been echoed by Italian culture and heritage website ItalianAware . The site has called the dominance of Italians in the area , `` relatively short lived . '' It attributes this to the quick financial prosperity many Italians achieved , which afforded them the opportunity to leave the cramped neighborhood for areas in Brooklyn and Queens . The site also goes on to state that the area is currently referred to as Little Italy more out of nostalgia than as a reflection of a true ethnic population . In 2010 , Little Italy and Chinatown were listed in a single historic district on the National Register of Historic Places. Little Italy , by this point , was shrinking rapidly . Historic and current demographics ( edit ) People in Little Italy celebrating , one hour after the Italian soccer team won the 2006 FIFA World Cup The New York Times sent its reporters to characterize the Little Italy / Mulberry neighborhood in May 1896 : They are laborers ; toilers in all grades of manual work ; they are artisans , they are junkman , and here , too , dwell the rag pickers ... There is a monster colony of Italians who might be termed the commercial or shop keeping community of the Latins . Here are all sorts of stores , pensions , groceries , fruit emporiums , tailors , shoemakers , wine merchants , importers , musical instrument makers ... There are notaries , lawyers , doctors , apothecaries , undertakers ... There are more bankers among the Italians than among any other foreigners except the Germans in the city . As of the 2000 U.S. Census , 1,211 residents claiming Italian ancestry lived in three census tracts that make up Little Italy . Those residents comprise 8.25 % of the population in the community , which is similar to the proportion of those of Italian ancestry throughout New York City . Bill Tonelli of New York magazine contrasted Little Italy with the Manhattan Chinatown ; in 2000 , of the residents of the portions of Chinatown south of Grand Street , 81 % were of Chinese origins . In 2004 , Tonelli revisited the issue , saying , `` Little Italy may always endure as an open - air theme park of nineteenth - and twentieth - century European immigration to the Lower East Side ... But you 'll spend a long time in the neighborhood before you hear anyone speak Italian , and then the speaker will be a tourist from Milan . '' Tonelli added , `` You have to slow your gaze to find the neighbors in this neighborhood , because they 're so overwhelmed and outnumbered by the tourists . But once you focus , you can see them , standing ( or sitting ) in the interstices , taking in the scene , like the group of men , mostly senior citizens , loitering contentedly under an awning on Mulberry Street . '' Cultural attractions ( edit ) Mulberry Street in Little Italy Little Italy was home to dozens of restaurants that serve authentic Italian cuisine , but between March 2013 and March 2014 , eight eateries closed down . Since 2004 , Sorrento Lactalis funds neighborhood cultural events in Little Italy . The Feast of San Gennaro originally was once only a one - day religious commemoration . It began in September 1926 with the new arrival of immigrants from Naples . The Italian immigrants congregated along Mulberry Street in Manhattan 's Little Italy to celebrate San Gennaro as the Patron Saint of Naples . The Feast of San Gennaro is a large street fair , lasting 11 days , that takes place every September along Mulberry Street between Houston and Canal Streets . The festival is an annual celebration of Italian culture and the Italian - American community . In 1995 Mort Berkowitz became the professional manager of a community group that had been formed to take over management of the San Gennaro feast . Since then , Berkowitz became involved in other recreational activities in Little Italy , including the summer , Carnevale , Columbus Day , and Christmas events . Richard Alba , a sociologist and professor at University at Albany , SUNY , said `` The fascinating part here is the way in which ethnic tourism -- not only by Italian - Americans but by people who want to see an authentic urban village -- keeps these neighborhoods going . '' Organized crime and the Mafia ( edit ) Little Italy residents have seen organized crime since the early 1900s . Powerful members of the Italian Mafia have operated in Little Italy . Ignazio `` The Wolf '' Lupo ( a Morello crime family boss operated in Little Italy from late 1890s - 1920s ) Michele `` Big Mike '' Miranda ( a Capo in the Genovese crime family operated in the neighborhood from the 1950s into the late 1960s ) Peter DeFeo ( a Genovese crime family capo who operated an illegal Italian lottery in the 1960s into the 1970s ) Matthew `` Matty the Horse '' Ianniello ( a Genovese crime family capo operated from his restaurant Umberto 's Clam House in the 1970s ) John Gotti ( boss of the Gambino crime family operated from the Ravenite Social Club in the late 1980s into the early 1990s ) In popular culture ( edit ) Little Italy was the locale of the fictional Corleone crime family depicted in the novel The Godfather and the three movies based on it . It is the setting for the 1973 film Mean Streets , starring Robert De Niro and Harvey Keitel . Other Italian American neighborhoods in New York City ( edit ) Main article : List of Italian American neighborhoods Other Italian American neighborhoods in New York City include : In Manhattan - East Harlem ( Italian Harlem , Pleasant Avenue ) In the Bronx - Arthur Avenue in Fordham , Belmont , Morris Park , Country Club , and Pelham Bay In Brooklyn - Bensonhurst , Bay Ridge , Dyker Heights , Bath Beach , South Brooklyn , and other various neighborhoods in Brooklyn In Queens - Howard Beach , Ozone Park , Middle Village and other various neighborhoods in Queens In Staten Island - the borough has the highest proportion of Italian Americans of any county in the United States . Over 200,000 residents claim Italian heritage ( over 40 % ) , with Rosebank being the first Italian enclave .

-5422994352886890611 | Emergency bleeding control | Emergency bleeding control - wikipedia Emergency bleeding control Jump to : navigation , search Minor traumatic bleeding from the head Emergency bleeding control describes actions that control bleeding from a patient who has suffered a traumatic injury or who has a medical condition that has caused bleeding . Many bleeding control techniques are taught as part of first aid throughout the world , though some more advanced techniques such as tourniquets , are often taught as being reserved for use by health professionals , or as an absolute last resort , to mitigate associated risks , such as potential loss of limbs . To manage bleeding effectively , it is important to be able to readily identify types of wounds and types of bleeding . Contents ( hide ) 1 Types of wounds 2 Blood vessels affected 3 External wound management 3.1 Elevation 3.2 Direct pressure 3.3 Pressure points 3.3. 1 Epistaxis 3.4 Tourniquet 3.5 Clotting agents 4 Internal wound management 5 See also 6 References Types of wounds ( edit ) Main article : Wound Wounds are normally described in a variety of ways . Descriptions may include wound size ( length ) and thickness ; plainly visible wound characteristics such as shape and open or closed ; and origin , acute or chronic . The most common descriptors of wounds are these : Incision : Straight edges to the wound margins , as if sliced with a knife . These can vary in size , and may be caused by a variety of objects , including a scalpel , a knife , any piece of straight , sharp metal , or a piece of glass . Tissue is rarely missing from the wound site , and the margins of the wound may be easily matched from one side of the wound to the other for the purposes of closure . Laceration : Jagged edges to the wound margins , more closely resembling a tear than a slice . The direction of the wound is random rather than straight , and it may have multiple branches . Most often caused by an object with a broken or serrated edge , such as a piece of broken glass or metal , but may also be caused by a blow from a blunt object to tissue with bone immediately behind it . Puncture : Sharp object penetrates the tissue and travels inward , but does not move laterally in any direction from the point of entry . Such wounds can be misleading , as they may appear quite small on surface examination , but extend quite deeply into the body , even damaging nerves , blood vessels , or internal organs . They may cause substantial internal bleeding or secondary injuries , such as a collapsed lung , which may not be readily evident during primary assessment . Occasionally , the object causing the injury remains in the wound as an impaled object . A stab wound from a knife or other sharp object , or a bullet wound , are examples of this type of injury . Medical professionals usually refer to this type of wound as penetrating trauma . Abrasion : A scraping or scratching . Generally quite superficial , and affecting only the surface layers of the epidermis . No internal organs , nerves , or blood vessels other than capillaries , are affected . This may be the result of a fall , or of sliding ( friction ) against rough surfaces . The road rash often suffered by falling motorcyclists is an example of this type of wound . Contusion : Simple bruising . In this type of injury , the capillaries in the epidermis and dermis are damaged , without breaking the skin . Blood oozes out of these vessels into the spaces between cells or interstitial space , causing swelling and discoloration . Blood loss is generally limited , and not of serious consequence . It may , however , act as a signpost , pointing to more serious injuries . Avulsion : A full thickness laceration - type wound , often semi-circular in shape . This creates a flap that , when lifted , exposes the deeper tissues to view , or extrudes them from the wound itself . Avulsions often occur in mechanical accidents involving fingers ( sometimes referred to as degloving ) , or , more seriously , may affect the orbit of the eye or the abdominal cavity , exposing the internal viscera . Avulsions are difficult to repair , and no avulsion should ever be considered a minor injury . Amputation : Similar to , but distinct from , an avulsion . Whereas an avulsion is characterized by a `` flap '' of skin being removed , an amputation is characterized by a complete loss of a limb . This can occur at any point on the extremity , and is usually followed by significant arterial bleeding . However , as serious as this injury is , an amputated limb that is cooled and transported to the hospital can sometimes be surgically reattached . Types of wounds Laceration moulage Abrasion on the palm of the hand Contusion Blood vessels affected ( edit ) External bleeding is generally described in terms of the origin of the blood flow by vessel type . The basic categories of external bleeding are : Arterial bleeding : As the name suggests , blood flow originating in an artery . With this type of bleeding , the blood is typically bright red to yellowish in colour , due to the high degree of oxygenation . Blood typically exits the wound in spurts , rather than in a steady flow . The amount of blood loss can be copious , and can occur very rapidly . Venous bleeding : This blood is flowing from a damaged vein . As a result , it is blackish in colour ( due to the lack of oxygen it transports ) and flows in a steady manner . Caution is still indicated : while the blood loss may not be arterial , it can still be quite substantial , and can occur with surprising speed without intervention . Capillary bleeding : Capillary bleeding usually occurs in superficial wounds , such as abrasions . The colour of the blood may vary somewhat ( distal portion of circulation with oxygenated and unoxygenated blood mixing ) , and generally oozes in small amounts , as opposed to flowing or spurting . External wound management ( edit ) The type of wound ( incision , laceration , puncture , etc . ) has a major effect on the way a wound is managed , as does the area of the body affected and presence of any foreign objects in the wound . Key principles of wound management are : Elevation ( edit ) Elevation was commonly recommended for the control of haemorrhage . Some protocols continue to include it , but recent studies have failed to find any evidence of its effectiveness and it was removed from the PHTLS guidance in 2006 . Direct pressure ( edit ) Placing pressure on the wound constricts the blood vessels manually , helping to stem blood flow . When applying pressure , the type and direction of the wound may have an effect , for instance , a cut lengthways on the hand would be opened up by closing the hand into a fist , whilst a cut across the hand would be sealed by making a fist . A patient can apply pressure directly to their own wound , if their consciousness level allows . Ideally a barrier , such as sterile , low - adherent gauze should be used between the pressure supplier and the wound , to help reduce chances of infection and help the wound to seal . Third parties assisting a patient are always advised to use protective latex or nitrile medical gloves to reduce risk of infection or contamination passing either way . Direct pressure can be used with some foreign objects protruding from a wound ; padding is applied from each side of the object to push in and seal the wound - objects are never removed . Pressure points ( edit ) The arterial pressure points In situations where direct pressure and elevation are either not possible or proving ineffective , and there is a risk of exsanguination , some training protocols advocate the use of pressure points to constrict the major artery that feeds the point of the bleed . This is usually performed at a place where a pulse can be found , such as in the femoral artery . There are significant risks involved in performing pressure point constriction , including necrosis of the area below the constriction , and most protocols give a maximum time for constriction ( often around 10 minutes ) . There is particularly high danger if constricting the carotid artery in the neck , as the brain is sensitive to hypoxia and brain damage can result within minutes of application of pressure . Pressure on the carotid artery can also cause vagal tone induced bradycardia , which can eventually stop the heart . Other dangers in use of a constricting method include rhabdomyolysis , which is a buildup of toxins below the pressure point , which if released back into the main bloodstream may cause renal failure . Epistaxis ( edit ) Epistaxis , or nosebleed , is a special case , where almost all first aid providers train the use of pressure points . The appropriate point here is on the soft fleshy part of the nose , which should constrict the capillaries sufficiently to stop bleeding , although obviously it does not stop bleeding from the nasopharynx or tear ducts . Tourniquet ( edit ) Main article : Emergency tourniquet Another method of achieving constriction of the supplying artery is a tourniquet - a band tied tightly around a limb to restrict blood flow . Tourniquets are routinely used to bring veins to the surface for cannulation , though their use in emergency medicine is more limited . Tourniquet use is restricted in most countries to professionals such as physicians and paramedics , as this is often considered beyond the reach of first aid and those acting in good faith as a good samaritan . A key exception is the military , where many armies carry a tourniquet as part of their personal first aid kit . Improvised tourniquets , in addition to creating potential problems for the ongoing medical management of the patient , usually fail to achieve force enough to adequately compress the arteries of the limb . As a result , they not only fail to stop arterial bleeding , but may actually increase bleeding by impairing venous bloodflow . Clotting agents ( edit ) Main article : Hemostatic agent Some protocols call for the use of clotting accelerating agents , which can be either externally applied as a powder or gel , or pre-dosed in a dressing or as an intravenous injection . These may be particularly useful in situations where the wound is not clotting , which can be due to external factors , such as size of wound , or medical factors such as haemophilia . Recombinant factor VIIa ( rFVIIa ) is not , as of 2012 , supported by the evidence for most cases of major bleeding . Its use brings a significant risk of arterial thrombosis , and therefore it should only be used in clinical trials or with patients with factor VIIe deficiency . Internal wound management ( edit ) Internal wounds ( usually to the torso ) are harder to deal with than external wounds , although they often have an external cause . The key dangers of internal bleeding include hypovolaemic shock ( leading to exsanguination ) , causing a tamponade on the heart or a haemothorax on the lung . The aortic aneurysm is a special case where the aorta , the body 's main blood vessel , becomes ruptured through an inherent weakness , although exertion , raised blood pressure or sudden movements could cause a sudden catastrophic failure . This is one of the most serious medical emergencies a patient can face , as the only treatment is rapid surgery . In the event of bleeding caused by an external source ( trauma , penetrating wound ) , the patient is usually inclined to the injured side , so that the ' good ' side can continue to function properly , without interference from the blood inside the body cavity . Treatment of internal bleeding is beyond the scope of simple first aid , and a person giving first aid should consider it potentially life - threatening . The definitive treatment for internal bleeding is always surgical treatment , and medical advice must be sought urgently for any victim of internal bleeding .

When her roommate , Kate Kavanagh ( Eloise Mumford ) , becomes ill and is unable to interview Christian Grey ( Jamie Dornan ) , a 27 - year - old billionaire entrepreneur , for the college newspaper , Ana agrees to go in her place . At Christian 's Seattle headquarters called Grey House , Ana stumbles her way through the meeting . Christian , who is that year 's WSU commencement speaker , takes an interest in her ; soon after , he visits the hardware store where Ana works . He agrees to Ana 's request for a photo shoot to accompany the article for which Ana had interviewed him . Christian invites Ana for coffee , but he leaves abruptly , saying he is not the man for her . Christian later sends Ana first edition copies of two Thomas Hardy novels , including Tess of the d'Urbervilles , as a gift . Ana and her friends celebrate graduation at a local bar . After drinking too much , Ana spontaneously calls Christian , saying she is returning the books and berates his behavior towards her . Christian goes to the bar and finds Ana , who passes out . She wakes up the next morning in Christian 's hotel room , relieved that they were not intimate . Ana and Christian begin seeing each other , though he insists that she sign a non-disclosure agreement preventing her from revealing details about their dalliance . Christian explains that he only has interrelations involving bondage that is clearly defined in a signed contract . Ana reveals that she is a virgin . While considering the agreement and negotiating her own terms , and after visiting his `` playroom '' , a room stocked with a variety of BDSM toys , furniture , and gear , she and Christian have coitus . Christian bestows Ana with gifts and favors , such as a new car and laptop computer . After Ana and Kate move to Seattle , Ana continues seeing Christian . During dinner at Christian 's parents , Ana suddenly mentions she is leaving the next day to visit her mother in Georgia . Later , Christian becomes frustrated when Ana expresses she wants more than the one - sided relationship he proposes . She is shocked when Christian unexpectedly arrives in Georgia , they have coitus again but he leaves soon afterward , to tend to an emergency in Seattle . After returning home , Ana continues seeing Christian , who wants further sexual experimentation . Ana initially consents , but Christian keeps emotionally distant , upsetting her . While still considering the contract , and in an effort to understand Christian psychologically , Ana asks him to demonstrate how he would `` punish '' her for rule breaking . Christian whips Ana 's buttocks six times with a belt . Upset and disgusted , Ana leaves Christian after concluding that he is wrong for her and his practices border on being deviant and excessive . In an alternative ending , both Ana and Christian experience flashbacks . Christian jogs in the rain , while Ana sobs in her apartment .

Warner Bros. , Sony , Paramount , Universal , and Mark Wahlberg 's production company submitted bids for the film rights . Universal Pictures and Focus Features secured the rights to the trilogy in March 2013 . Author James sought to retain some control during the movie 's creative process . James chose The Social Network producers Michael De Luca and Dana Brunetti to produce the film . Although American Psycho writer Bret Easton Ellis publicly expressed his desire to write the screenplay for Fifty Shades of Grey , Kelly Marcel , screenwriter of Saving Mr. Banks , was hired for the job . Patrick Marber was brought in by Taylor - Wood to polish the screenplay , specifically to do some `` character work '' . Universal hired Mark Bomback for script doctoring . Mark Bridges served as the costume designer . Entertainment Weekly estimated the film 's budget as `` $40 million - or - so '' . Direction ( edit ) Allison Rawlings of London , Ontario directed Fifty Shades of Gray . By May 9 , 2013 , the studio was considering Joe Wright to direct , but this proved unworkable due to Wright 's schedule . Other directors who had been under consideration included Patty Jenkins , Bill Condon , Bennett Miller , and Steven Soderbergh . In June 2013 , E.L. James announced Sam Taylor - Johnson would direct the film adaptation . Johnson was paid over $2 million for directing the film . 91⁄2 Weeks , Last Tango in Paris , and Blue Is the Warmest Colour were all cited by Taylor - Johnson as inspirations for the film . Casting ( edit ) Bret Easton Ellis stated that Robert Pattinson had been James ' first choice for the role of Christian Grey , but James felt that casting Pattinson and his Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart in the film would be `` weird '' . Ian Somerhalder and Chace Crawford both expressed interest in the role of Christian . Somerhalder later admitted if he had been considered , the filming process would ultimately have conflicted with his shooting schedule for The CW 's series The Vampire Diaries . On September 2 , 2013 , James revealed that Charlie Hunnam and Dakota Johnson had been cast as Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele , respectively . The short list of other actresses considered for the role of Anastasia included Alicia Vikander , Imogen Poots , Elizabeth Olsen , Shailene Woodley , and Felicity Jones . Keeley Hazell auditioned for an unspecified role . Lucy Hale also auditioned for the film . Emilia Clarke was also offered the role of Anastasia but turned down the part because of the nudity required . Taylor - Johnson would give every actress who auditioned for the role of Anastasia four pages to read of a monologue from Ingmar Bergman 's Persona . The studio originally wanted Ryan Gosling for Christian , but he was not interested in the role . Garrett Hedlund was also considered , but he could not connect with the character . Stephen Amell said he would not have wanted to play the role of Grey because `` I actually did n't find him to be that interesting ... nothing about Christian Grey really spoke to me . '' Hunnam initially turned down the role of Christian but later reconsidered it , following a meeting with studio heads . Hunnam said of the audition process : `` I felt really intrigued and excited about it so I went and read the first book to get a clearer idea of who this character was , and I felt even more excited at the prospect of bringing him to life . We ( Taylor - Johnson and I ) kind of both suggested I do a reading with Dakota , who was her favorite , and as soon as we got in the room and I started reading with Dakota I knew that I definitely wanted to do it . There 's just like a tangible chemistry between us . It felt exciting and fun and weird and compelling . '' In response to the negative fan reaction the casting drew , producer Dana Brunetti said : `` There is a lot that goes into casting that is n't just looks . Talent , availability , their desire to do it , chemistry with other actor , etc . So if your favorite was n't cast , then it is most likely due to something on that list . Keep that in mind while hating and keep perspective . '' During October 2013 , actress Jennifer Ehle was in talks for the role of Anastasia 's mother Carla . On October 12 , 2013 , Universal Pictures announced that Hunnam had exited the film due to conflicts with the schedule of his FX series Sons of Anarchy . Alexander Skarsgård , Jamie Dornan , Theo James , François Arnaud , Scott Eastwood , Luke Bracey , and Billy Magnussen were at the top of the list to replace Hunnam as Christian Grey . Finally , on October 23 , 2013 , Dornan was cast as Christian Grey . On October 31 , 2013 , Victor Rasuk was cast as José Rodriguez , Jr . On November 22 , 2013 , Eloise Mumford was cast as Kate Kavanagh . On December 2 , 2013 , singer Rita Ora was cast as Christian 's younger sister Mia . Ora originally wanted to work on the soundtrack . On December 3 , 2013 , Marcia Gay Harden was cast as Christian 's mother , Grace . Filming ( edit ) In September , filming was scheduled to start on November 5 , 2013 , in Vancouver , British Columbia . The following month , producer Michael De Luca announced filming would begin on November 13 , 2013 . Principal photography was again delayed and eventually started on December 1 , 2013 . Scenes were filmed in the Gastown district of Vancouver . Bentall 5 was used as the Grey Enterprises building . The University of British Columbia serves as Washington State University Vancouver , from which Ana graduates . The Fairmont Hotel Vancouver was used as the Heathman Hotel . The film was also shot at the North Shore Studios . The production officially ended on February 21 , 2014 . Reshoots involving scenes between Dornan and Johnson took place in Vancouver during the week of October 13 , 2014 . The film was shot under the working title `` The Adventures of Max and Banks . '' Music ( edit ) Main article : Fifty Shades of Grey : Original Motion Picture Soundtrack James said that the film 's soundtrack would be released on February 10 , 2015 . The first single , `` Earned It '' , by The Weeknd , was released on December 24 , 2014 . On January 7 , 2015 , the second single , `` Love Me like You Do '' by Ellie Goulding was released , later reaching the top three on the Billboard Hot 100 , and becoming a hit for the soundtrack . A promotional single , `` Salted Wound '' by Australian recording artist Sia , was released on January 27 , 2015 . To date , the soundtrack has sold 516,000 copies in the United States . Release ( edit ) Jamie Dornan at the world premiere of Fifty Shades of Grey , Berlinale 2015 In February 2013 , Universal chairman Adam Fogelson said the film `` could be ready to release ... as early as next summer . '' The studio initially announced an August 1 , 2014 , release . However , in November 2013 , it was pushed back to February 13 , 2015 , in time for Valentine 's Day . Fifty Shades of Grey was first screened at the 65th Berlin International Film Festival on February 11 , 2015 . The film was released in 75 IMAX screens across the US on February 13 , 2015 . Marketing ( edit ) On January 25 , 2014 , more than a year prior to release , Universal displayed posters with the phrase , `` Mr. Grey will see you now '' , in five locations across the United States . On February 14 , 2014 , the first photograph of Johnson as Anastasia was released . On June 18 , 2014 , the film 's official Twitter account released the first still of Dornan as Christian in honor of Christian 's birthday . On July 9 , 2014 , the book 's author , E.L. James , said on Twitter that the film 's trailer would be released on July 24 , 2014 . Beyoncé debuted a teaser for the trailer on her Instagram account five days before the trailer 's release . On July 24 , Dornan and Johnson were on The Today Show to present part of the trailer appropriate for morning television ; the full trailer , which contained more racy scenes , was released later the same day on the internet ( 200 days before its initial theatrical release ) . The trailer featured a new version of `` Crazy in Love '' by Beyoncé , which was scored and arranged by her frequent collaborator Boots . The trailer was viewed 36.4 million times in the week after its July 24 release . This made it the most viewed trailer on YouTube in 2014 , until it was surpassed in October by the trailer for Avengers : Age of Ultron . However , in mid-December the trailer reached 93 million views and was again the most viewed of 2014 . The trailer accumulated over 100 million views in its first week of release through different channels and websites , becoming the biggest trailer ever released in history . By February 2015 , the trailer had been viewed more than 193 million times on YouTube alone . And by late February , Fifty Shades of Grey related material garnered over 329 million views including 113 million views for its official trailer . A second trailer was released on November 13 , 2014 . A third trailer aired during Super Bowl XLIX , on February 1 , 2015 . The film was promoted through an ad campaign that asked people whether they were `` curious '' . Nick Carpou , Universal 's president of domestic distribution , said : `` Our campaign gave people permission to see the film . '' `` Valentines is a big deal for couples and a great relationship event , and the date with the long Presidents Day weekend created a perfect storm for us . This date positioned us to take full advantage of the romance angle , which is how we sold the film in our marketing campaign , '' he said . Rating and censorship ( edit ) There was initial speculation that the film could receive an NC - 17 rating in the United States . Studios typically steer away from the adults - only rating due to the impact the classification has on a film 's commercial viability , with some theater chains refusing to exhibit NC - 17 rated films . While screenwriter Marcel said she expected the film to be NC - 17 rated , producer De Luca anticipated the less restrictive R rating . On January 5 , 2015 , the MPAA did give the film an R rating , basing its decision on `` strong sexual content including dialogue , some unusual behavior and graphic nudity , and language . '' On January 30 , in Australia , the film was rated MA15+ by the ACB for `` strong sex scenes , sexual themes and nudity '' . On February 2 , 2015 , the British BBFC classified the film an 18 certificate , mentioning `` strong sex '' . In Canada , Ontario , Manitoba , Alberta , and British Columbia , the film was rated at 18A by the OFRB , MFCB , AFR , and BCFCO respectively due to its `` occasional upsetting or disturbing scenes , and partial or full nudity in a brief sexual situation . '' In Quebec , the Régie du cinéma rated the movie under the 16 + category for its eroticism . In France , the film earned a 12 rating . In Lebanon , the film earned an NC - 21 rating . In Argentina , the Advisory Commission of Cinematographic Exhibition ( the rating arm of the INCAA ) rated the film SAM16 / R . Anti-pornography watchdog group Morality in Media argued that the film 's R rating `` severely undermines the violent themes in the film and does not adequately inform parents and patrons of the film 's content '' , and that the MPAA was encouraging sexual violence by letting the film by without an NC - 17 rating . The film was scheduled for a February 12 , 2015 , release in Malaysia , but it was denied a certificate by the Malaysian Film Censorship Board ( LPF ) for its `` unnatural '' and `` sadistic '' content . The LPF chairman , Abdul Halim Abdul Hamid , said Fifty Shades was `` more pornography than a movie . '' The film was also banned in Indonesia , Kenya , Russia 's North Caucasus , the United Arab Emirates ( UAE ) , Papua New Guinea , Cambodia , and India . The film was released in Nigeria for a week , before being removed from cinemas by the National Film and Video Censors Board ( NFVCB ) . Studios will not pursue a theatrical release in China . The film 's sex scenes were censored after protests from various religious groups in the Philippines , and as a result it is in limited release in that country with an R - 18 rating from the MTRCB . A similarly cut version was released in Zimbabwe . Roughly 20 minutes were cut from the film for screening in Vietnam , leaving no sex scenes . The scene in which Ana is beaten with a belt is skipped entirely . Opposition campaign ( edit ) On January 28 , 2015 , a campaign in the United States by the National Center on Sexual Exploitation started two petitions to boycott the film 's release . Their website makes more than 50 allegations that the film has a negative impact on the community . It said , `` Hollywood is advertising the Fifty Shades story as an erotic love affair , but it is really about sexual abuse and violence against women . The porn industry has poised men and women to receive the message that sexual violence is enjoyable . Fifty Shades models this porn message and Hollywood cashes the check . '' By February 7 , one of the petitions had garnered more than 53,000 signatures . On February 2 , in Michigan , a man petitioned to halt the film 's release at a local Celebration ! Cinema . Despite the man 's efforts , the president of the cinemas declined to cancel the release of the film . He said , `` We 've been in business for 70 years and people often times object to content , and it 's not our job to censor the content of a widespread movie . It 's not in our best interest . It 's not in the community 's best interest . '' The film sold 3,000 tickets before the release and was expected to sell a total of 10,000 tickets . The American Family Association called for theaters not to show the film : `` The irony is not lost that the film 's main character is named , ' Christian , ' while this film presents anything but a ' Christian ' view of intimacy ... It is the epitome of elevating abuse , and we call on all theaters to reject promoting such abuse on their screens . '' Thomas Williams of the Notre Dame Center for Ethics and Culture commented on the release of the film in the United States on Valentine 's Day , stating `` The irony of Universal Pictures ' decision to release its bondage - erotica film Fifty Shades of Grey on the day dedicated to honoring a Christian martyr has not gone unnoticed to many observers , who seem to find the choice unclassy at best .

Critical response ( edit ) Fifty Shades of Grey was criticized for its acting , writing , and pacing ; however , some critics noted it as an improvement over the book and praised the performance of Dakota Johnson . On Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 25 % based on 251 reviews , with an average rating of 4.2 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` While creatively better endowed than its print counterpart , Fifty Shades of Grey is a less than satisfying experience on the screen . '' The review aggregator website Metacritic gave the film a score of 46 out of 100 , based on 46 critics , indicating `` mixed or average reviews '' . In CinemaScore polls conducted during the opening weekend , cinema audiences gave the film an average grade of `` C + '' on an A+ to F scale . Claudia Puig of USA Today wrote that `` the dialogue is laughable , the pacing is sluggish and the performances are one - note . '' Moira Macdonald of The Seattle Times wrote : `` Fifty Shades of Grey the movie , for the record , is not quite as bad as Fifty Shades of Grey the book . But that 's not saying much . '' We Got This Covered critic Isaac Feldberg gave the film one and a half stars out of five and wrote that it `` feels like two , distinct films grappling for dominance over the screen : one a sensual and stylish romance , and the other a numbingly explicit Harlequin bodice - ripper brought to life . Regrettably , the latter and lesser of the two ends up on top . '' . The Guardian lead film critic Peter Bradshaw gave the film one star out of five , calling it `` the most purely tasteful and softcore depiction of sadomasochism in cinema history '' with `` strictly daytime soap '' performances . A.O. Scott of The New York Times called the movie `` terrible '' , but wrote that `` it might nonetheless be a movie that feels good to see , whether you squirm or giggle or roll your eyes or just sit still and take your punishment . '' In a positive review for The Daily Telegraph , Robbie Collin called the film `` sexy , funny and self - aware in every way the original book is n't . '' Elizabeth Weitzman of New York 's Daily News praised the directing , screenplay , and Johnson 's performance , but called Dornan 's performance , the leads ' chemistry , and the supporting cast `` underused '' . She praised the film for honoring the essence of its source and the director 's way of balancing `` atmosphere with action '' . In The Guardian , Jordan Hoffmann awarded the film three out of five stars , writing , `` this big screen adaptation still manages to be about people , and even a little bit sweet '' , and that the sex scenes `` are there to advance the plot , and only the most buttoned - up prude will be scandalised . '' Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly gave the film a B − , writing : `` This perfectly normal way of consuming erotica suggests that the movie Fifty Shades of Grey will work better as home entertainment , when each viewer can race past the blah - blah about how well Christian plays the piano and pause on the fleeting image of the man minus his pants . '' In The Sydney Morning Herald , Timothy Laurie and Jessica Kean argue that `` the film provides a language for decision - making around violence more developed than most Hollywood fodder '' , and that `` film fleshes out an otherwise legalistic concept like ' consent ' into a living , breathing , and at times , uncomfortable interpersonal experience . It dramatises the dangers of unequal negotiation and the practical complexity of identifying one 's limits and having them respected . '' Various critics have noted the similarities between Fifty Shades of Grey and Adrian Lyne 's 91⁄2 Weeks ( 1986 ) . Both films are literary adaptations , centering on a sadomasochistic affair .

A release date of January 10 , 2013 , was announced . In November 2012 , Universal , which had secured the Fifty Shades film rights , filed a lawsuit against Smash Pictures , stating that the film violated its copyright in that it was not filmed as a parody adaptation but `` copies without reservation from the unique expressive elements of the Fifty Shades trilogy , progressing through the events of Fifty Shades of Grey and into the second book , Fifty Shades Darker '' . The lawsuit asked for an injunction , for the profits from all sales of the film , as well as damages , saying that `` a quickly and cheaply produced pornographic work ( ... ) is likely to cause Plaintiffs irreparable harm by poisoning public perception of the Fifty Shades Trilogy and the forthcoming Universal films . '' Smash Pictures responded to the lawsuit by issuing a counterclaim and requesting a continuance , stating that `` much or all '' of the Fifty Shades material was part of the public domain because it was originally published in various venues as a fan fiction based on the Twilight series . A lawyer for Smash Pictures further commented that the federal copyright registrations for the books were `` invalid and unenforceable '' and that the film `` did not violate copyright or trademark laws '' . The lawsuit was eventually settled out of court for an undisclosed sum and Smash Pictures agreed to stop any further production or promotion of the film .

Also , he played George , the TV mechanic in the episode : `` Andy and Helen have their Day '' on the Andy Griffith show .

Biggest Jump to number one 97 -- 1 -- Kelly Clarkson -- `` My Life Would Suck Without You '' ( February 7 , 2009 ) 96 -- 1 -- Britney Spears -- `` Womanizer '' ( October 25 , 2008 ) 80 -- 1 -- T.I. featuring Rihanna -- `` Live Your Life '' ( October 18 , 2008 ) 78 -- 1 -- Eminem , Dr. Dre and 50 Cent -- `` Crack a Bottle '' ( February 21 , 2009 ) 77 -- 1 -- Taylor Swift -- `` Look What You Made Me Do '' ( September 16 , 2017 ) 72 -- 1 -- Taylor Swift -- `` We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together '' ( September 1 , 2012 ) 71 -- 1 -- T.I. -- `` Whatever You Like '' ( September 6 , 2008 ) 64 -- 1 -- Maroon 5 -- `` Makes Me Wonder '' ( May 12 , 2007 ) 60 -- 1 -- Rihanna featuring Drake -- `` What 's My Name ? '' ( November 20 , 2010 ) 58 -- 1 -- Flo Rida -- `` Right Round '' ( February 28 , 2009 ) Changes in when the eligibility of a single first begins , as well as more accurate digital download totals , have made abrupt chart jumps more commonplace . From 1955 to 2001 , under Billboard 's previous methodologies , only two singles ascended directly to # 1 from a previous position beneath the Top 20 : The Beatles ' `` Ca n't Buy Me Love '' , which jumped from # 27 to the top slot in April 1964 , and Brandy and Monica 's `` The Boy Is Mine '' which jumped from # 23 to # 1 in June 1998 . Biggest single - Week upward movements 97 -- 1 ( 96 positions ) -- Kelly Clarkson -- `` My Life Would Suck Without You '' ( February 7 , 2009 ) 96 -- 1 ( 95 positions ) -- Britney Spears -- `` Womanizer '' ( October 25 , 2008 ) 94 -- 3 ( 91 positions ) -- Beyoncé and Shakira -- `` Beautiful Liar '' ( April 7 , 2007 ) 94 -- 4 ( 90 positions ) -- Maroon 5 featuring Cardi B -- `` Girls Like You '' ( June 16 , 2018 ) 95 -- 7 ( 88 positions ) -- Akon featuring Eminem -- `` Smack That '' ( October 14 , 2006 ) 97 -- 9 ( 88 positions ) -- Drake featuring Nicki Minaj -- `` Make Me Proud '' ( November 5 , 2011 ) 96 -- 11 ( 85 positions ) -- Carrie Underwood -- `` Cowboy Casanova '' ( October 10 , 2009 ) 100 -- 15 ( 85 positions ) -- A.R.

One exception was Jeannie C. Riley 's `` Harper Valley PTA , '' which advanced 74 slots in August 1968 ; this upward acceleration went unmatched for 30 years , but has been surpassed over a dozen times since 2006 . Changes in when the eligibility of a single first begins , as well as more accurate digital download totals , have made abrupt chart jumps more commonplace .

When the songs originally charted in 1984 , their chart positions in their final week on the Hot 100 were well below the top 10 . † † -- A recurring holiday song charting during the Christmas season . * -- `` You Belong with Me '' later re-entered the Hot 100 as a single in 2009 to reach a peak of # 2 . The recurring song 's final week on the Hot 100 was in 2010 , when it was low as possible on the chart . Prior to 2008 , the biggest drop off the Hot 100 was `` Nights in White Satin '' by The Moody Blues , which ranked at # 17 in its final week on the chart in December 1972 .

Source : Selected additional Hot 100 achievements The first # 1 song on the Hot 100 was `` Poor Little Fool '' by Ricky Nelson ( August 4 , 1958 ) . The # 1 song in the first week Billboard incorporated sales and airplay data from Nielsen SoundScan and Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems was `` Set Adrift on Memory Bliss '' by P.M. Dawn ( November 30 , 1991 ) . The # 1 song in the first week Billboard allowed songs without a commercial single release to chart on the Hot 100 was `` I 'm Your Angel '' by R. Kelly and Céline Dion ( December 5 , 1998 ) . Though the song was making its first appearance on the Hot 100 that week , Billboard did not consider it a debut at # 1 , since it appeared on unpublished test charts prior to the allowance of airplay - only songs on the main chart . `` I 'm Your Angel '' also entered the Hot 100 Singles Sales chart that week at # 1 , so it would have been ineligible to chart on the Hot 100 before then . The first `` airplay - only '' song to reach # 1 ( no points from a commercial single release ) was `` Try Again '' by Aaliyah ( June 17 , 2000 ) . Drake holds the record for the most entries in the Hot 100 during a one - week period , with 24 on the April 8 , 2017 chart . The Beatles had long held this record , occupying 14 positions on the Hot 100 dated April 11 , 1964 , a feat unmatched for nearly 51 years . On March 7 , 2015 , Drake tied the Beatles mark , and he equaled it again on October 17 that year . Justin Bieber then reset the record to 17 on December 5 , 2015 , before Drake reclaimed the record with 20 on May 21 , 2016 . Drake also holds the record for the most debuting entries on a Hot 100 chart by any artist , with 21 on April 8 , 2017 . Cardi B is the record - holder among female artists for the most simultaneous entries in the Hot 100 , with 13 on the April 21 , 2018 chart . The Beatles are the only artists to simultaneously hold the top 2 spots on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and Billboard 200 albums chart . They achieved this feat for nine consecutive weeks , from February 29 , 1964 , to April 25 , 1964 . For the first five weeks of that run , through March 28 , 1964 , `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' and `` She Loves You '' were the # 1 and # 2 singles ( which swapped positions during March 1964 ) , while Meet the Beatles ! and Introducing ... The Beatles held the top 2 spots on the albums charts . For the remaining weeks of the run , `` Ca n't Buy Me Love '' and their cover of `` Twist and Shout '' were the # 1 and # 2 singles , while Meet the Beatles ! and Introducing ... The Beatles continued their reign as the top 2 albums . Barry Gibb , Robin Gibb , John Lennon , and Paul McCartney hold the record of writing all of the Top 3 singles for one week . The Gibbs co-wrote the top 3 singles for the week of March 18 , 1978 -- # 1 `` Night Fever '' and # 2 `` Stayin ' Alive '' for the Bee Gees , and # 3 `` Emotion '' for Samantha Sang . Lennon and McCartney co-wrote the top 3 singles for the week of March 14 , 1964 -- # 1 `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' , # 2 `` She Loves You '' , and # 3 `` Please Please Me '' , all for The Beatles . They continued this record the following week of March 21 , 1964 , when `` She Loves You '' switched places with `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' . The Black Eyed Peas hold the record for the longest uninterrupted time at # 1 on the Hot 100 , a total of 26 consecutive weeks from April to October 2009 . `` Boom Boom Pow '' spent the first 12 weeks on top , with `` I Gotta Feeling '' taking over for the remaining 14 weeks . Prior to August 2009 , Usher held this record , spending 19 consecutive weeks on top of the chart in 2004 with `` Yeah ! '' ( 12 weeks at # 1 ) and `` Burn '' ( first 7 of its 8 total weeks at # 1 ) . On December 4 , 2010 , Rihanna 's `` Only Girl ( In the World ) '' reached the top spot two weeks after `` What 's My Name ? '' , becoming the first time in Hot 100 history that an album 's debut single hit # 1 after the second single did . Ed Sheeran became the first artist to debut more than one song in the top 10 for the same week . On the chart dated January 28 , 2017 , `` Shape of You '' debuted at # 1 , while `` Castle on the Hill '' entered at # 6 . Drake is the only other artist to have achieved this feat , doing so on April 8 , 2017 . and again on February 3 , 2018 . Drake is the only artist to have two debuts in the top 10 on two separate occasions . Drake is the only artist to have a number - one debut replace another number - one debut . He did this April 21 , 2018 , when `` Nice For What '' replaced `` God 's Plan '' at the summit , after the latter had spent eleven weeks on top . Drake holds the record for being on the Hot 100 for the most consecutive weeks . He placed at least one song , either in a lead or featured role , on every chart from his debut on May 23 , 2009 , to August 19 , 2017 , for a total of 431 weeks in a row . Ariana Grande is the only artist to have the lead single from each of her first four albums debut in the Hot 100 's top 10 .

Famous monsters such as Frank ( Kevin James ) and his wife Eunice ( Fran Drescher ) , Wayne and Wanda Werewolf ( Steve Buscemi and Molly Shannon ) and their massive immediate family , Griffin The Invisible Man ( David Spade ) , and Murray the Mummy ( CeeLo Green ) often come to stay at the hotel . In the present day , on Mavis 's 118th birthday , Dracula allows his daughter to leave the castle in order to explore the human world , but he sets up an elaborate plan using his zombie bellhops disguised as humans to make them seem intimidating , and frighten her home . The plan works , but the zombies inadvertently lead a 21 - year - old human Jonathan Loughran ( Andy Samberg ) back to the hotel . Dracula frantically disguises him as a Frankensteinesque Monster and passes him off as Frank 's cousin `` Johnnystein '' . Johnny soon encounters Mavis and the two `` Zing '' , in a form of romantic attraction . Unable to get Johnny out of the hotel without notice , Dracula quickly improvises that Johnny is a party planner , brought in to bring a fresher approach to his own traditional and boring parties . Johnny quickly becomes a hit to the other monsters , but this disgusts and worries Dracula greatly . Dracula orders Johnny to leave , but Johnny is brought back by Mavis . After being shown the beauty of a sunrise by Johnny , Mavis is inspired to give humans another chance . Meanwhile , the hotel chef Quasimodo ( Jon Lovitz ) with the help of his pet rat Esmeralda learns that Johnny is a human and kidnaps him in order to cook him . Dracula intervenes and magically freezes Quasimodo to keep him from telling anyone that Johnny is human . Dracula leads Johnny to his quarters and shows him a painting of Martha , allowing Johnny to realize why Dracula built the hotel and became overprotective of Mavis . Johnny then agrees to leave for good , but Dracula convinces him to stay for the time - being to avoid ruining Mavis 's birthday . The party is a great success the next night , and Mavis looks forward to opening a gift from Martha . However , when Johnny and Mavis share their first kiss , Dracula overreacts , and , in his outburst , inadvertently confesses to deceiving Mavis with the town . A still - frozen Quasimodo bursts in and Mr. Fly ( Chris Parnell ) reveals from his frozen speech that Johnny is a human disguised by Dracula . The guests are outraged by the deceit at play , but Mavis is undeterred and wants to be with Johnny . Johnny feigns disinterest in Mavis and rejects her out of respect for her father and leaves the hotel . Mavis flies onto the roof with her mother 's present , and Dracula follows her in hopes of comforting her . He learns the present is a book about how Martha and Dracula `` Zinged '' and fell in love . Dracula realizes he no longer knows humankind 's true tolerance of monsters , and manages to convince Frank , Wayne , Griffin , and Murray to head out into the human world to help him find Johnny , and with the scent - tracking ability of Wayne 's daughter , Winnie , they learn that he is about to catch a flight to the United States . The four head to the airport , but are held up in a town celebrating a Monster Festival along the way . Admiring the group , the humans agree to help , and a team of men dressed as vampires provide Dracula shelter from the sunlight while he rushes to the airport . Dracula arrives to see Johnny 's plane taking off , and he gives chase in bat form , burning in the sunlight . After getting Johnny 's attention , Dracula makes his way to the front of the plane and uses his mind - controlling power on the pilot ( Brian Stack ) to help him apologize , stating that Mavis has grown up and can make her own decisions . Jonathan accepts his apology , and Dracula manipulates the pilot to return to the Transylvanian airport . Dracula returns Jonathan to Mavis , announcing that he approves of Johnny .

Production ( edit ) Director Genndy Tartakovsky presented a few scenes from the film at the 2012 Annecy International Animated Film Festival . Hotel Transylvania was originally created and developed by comedy writer Todd Durham , which he based on his book of the same name ; after creating the bible for a franchise of several films , television series , video games , books , merchandising , hotel chain , and theme park , he took the package unsolicited to Columbia Pictures and set it up at Sony Pictures Animation where he became the first of several screenwriters on the project . The development process ultimately went through six directors : in 2006 Anthony Stacchi and David Feiss became the first directors set to helm the film . They were replaced by Jill Culton in 2008 , who was followed by Chris Jenkins , with Todd Wilderman in 2010 . In February 2011 , Genndy Tartakovsky took over as the sixth scheduled director , and made his feature directorial debut with the film . He reimagined the film to follow the energy , organic nature , and exaggeration of 2D animation , particularly as seen in the work of director Tex Avery . `` I took all the aesthetics I like from 2 - D and applied them here , '' Tartakovsky said . `` I do n't want to do animation to mimic reality . I want to push reality . '' `` I wanted to have an imprint so you 'd go , ' Well , only Genndy can make this . ' It 's hard , especially with CG , but I feel there 's a lot of moments that feel that they 're very me , so hopefully it 'll feel different enough that it has a signature to it . '' In November 2011 , it was announced that Miley Cyrus would voice Mavis , Dracula 's teenage daughter , but in February 2012 , Cyrus left the film to coordinate a musical comeback . It was later announced that Selena Gomez would replace Cyrus . Soundtrack ( edit ) `` Where Did the Time Go Girl ( Party Version ) '' Written by Robert Smigel , Adam Sandler , and Dennis White .

Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave Hotel Transylvania an average grade of `` A - '' on an A+ to F scale . IGN editor Geoff Chapman rated the film 9 out of 10 and wrote `` This is a fun film , full of quirky gags and lovable characters . There are a few songs that smack a bit like soundtrack marketing for the kids , and the story is of course fairly predictable , but this movie is about enjoying a fun journey with great characters . It 's a romp that kids and families will all enjoy . Hotel Transylvania is definitely somewhere you 'll want to check in . '' Box Office ( edit ) Hotel Transylvania earned $148.3 million in North America , and $210.1 million in other countries , for a worldwide total of $358.4 million .

Produced by Spartina Productions and CBS Television Studios , The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is the second iteration of CBS 's Late Show franchise . Stay Human , led by bandleader Jon Batiste , serves as the program 's house band , and the announcer is program writer Jen Spyra . The program is taped at the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York City and airs live to tape in most U.S. markets at 11 : 35 p.m. Eastern and Pacific , and 10 : 35 in the Central . Contents ( hide ) 1 Background 1.1 Promotion 2 Production 3 Format 4 Episodes 4.1 Notable episodes 5 Reception 5.1 Ratings and viewership 5.2 Reviews 6 Broadcast 7 References 8 External links Background ( edit ) Prior to Colbert 's assumption of hosting duties , David Letterman had been host of Late Show for 22 years , dating to his arrival at CBS in 1993 . CBS had not had a regular late - night talk show for most of its existence prior to that point , with only one attempt ( the short - lived Pat Sajak Show in 1990 ) between 1972 and Letterman 's arrival . Letterman , who joined CBS from NBC after ending his eleven - year run as host of Late Night and losing out on being Johnny Carson 's successor on The Tonight Show to Jay Leno , was initially competitive with his show 's bitter rival , The Tonight Show with Jay Leno ; Letterman 's Late Show , however , slowly experienced a decline in ratings over the course of the 1990s and 2000s , dating back to an affiliation agreement between New World Communications and Fox that resulted in all nine CBS - affiliated stations it owned or recently acquired switching to Fox between September and December 1994 , relegating the network to lower - rated former Fox affiliates and independent stations in many major cities . Stephen Colbert hosted his satirical news show , The Colbert Report , which won seven Primetime Emmy Awards on Comedy Central , from October 2005 to December 2014 According to TV by the Numbers , in February 2013 , the live - plus - seven - day ratings for Letterman 's Late Show averaged about 3.1 million per show for the 2012 -- 13 season to date . A year later , average viewership was down to 2.8 million . Late Show also had the oldest audience among the various late - night talk shows , which may have led to CBS ' decision to pick a younger replacement for Letterman to compete with The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and ABC 's Jimmy Kimmel Live ! . In addition , Colbert 's previous program did well among college students and young men 18 -- 34 , which are prime target audiences for late - night comedy programming . On April 3 , 2014 , Letterman announced his retirement , with his final episode as host of Late Show scheduled for May 20 , 2015 . On April 10 , 2014 , CBS announced Stephen Colbert as Letterman 's successor , signing him to a five - year agreement . In contrast with Colbert 's previous program The Colbert Report , in which he played a fictionalized version of himself , Colbert hosts the show ( which retains the Late Show branding , albeit with the article `` The '' formally inserted into the title ) as himself . On April 23 , 2014 , the character version of Stephen Colbert appeared on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart to announce that he had clearly `` won television '' and would be closing down The Colbert Report because he had met his goal . This came after the announcement the character would not be used after the end of The Colbert Report . The final episode of the Report aired on December 18 , 2014 . Several states and municipalities attempted to coax CBS into moving production of the program from its long - time home in New York City with tax credits and other incentives , including Los Angeles , New Orleans and Connecticut . On July 23 , 2014 , CBS announced that Late Show would continue to be produced at the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York when Colbert takes over . Jonathan Batiste was announced as the bandleader on June 4 , 2015 , with his Stay Human band succeeding the CBS Orchestra as the house band . Promotion ( edit ) In anticipation of the program 's premiere , a new online presence was launched for The Late Show in June 2015 , including new social media accounts , a podcast , mobile app , and a monologue - styled video focusing on the beard Colbert had grown since leaving The Colbert Report . Throughout the remainder of the summer , videos would continue to be released through the show 's official YouTube channel and mobile app . On July 1 , 2015 , Colbert hosted a special edition of a public access program in Monroe , Michigan , interviewing Eminem . Production ( edit ) The Ed Sullivan Theater 's marquee Colbert has been given near - full control of the show , with little interference from CBS management in regard to format . Colbert brought most of his staff from The Colbert Report with him to The Late Show , as well as outsiders such as Brian Stack , who is best known for his work on Conan O'Brien 's programs , and Jon Stewart , former host of Colbert 's previous sister program The Daily Show , who is credited as executive producer . Colbert no longer uses the character he had portrayed on The Colbert Report , jokingly remarking to Jeb Bush that `` I used to play a narcissistic conservative pundit -- now I 'm just a narcissist . '' The Ed Sullivan Theater underwent a full restoration to its original 1927 splendor in a process that began following Letterman 's final episode , including the uncovering of the theater 's ceiling , stained - glass windows and a restoration of a chandelier , due to advances in technology that allow less sound and video equipment to cover up the auditorium 's architectural details . The 1993 restoration project for Letterman was only done on a few months ' notice after the theater was repurchased in February 1993 by CBS . In April 2016 , former CBS This Morning executive producer Chris Licht was named showrunner for The Late Show ; CBS had shown concerns that , despite improved ratings in comparison to Letterman 's tenure , Colbert had a weak online presence in comparison to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon , and Colbert 's lead - out The Late Late Show with James Corden ( whose `` Carpool Karaoke '' segments have been popular as viral videos ) . The Hollywood Reporter believed that Licht 's experience in news programming would be leveraged to complement Colbert 's strengths in topical and news - oriented material . Format ( edit ) See also : List of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert sketches Colbert originally started the show with a cold open and brief monologue before the opening sequence , which uses tilt -- shift photography of day and night New York City scenes that make the city appear like a miniature model . During the opening sequence , a voice - over announces the night 's guests . Starting with the April 18 , 2016 broadcast , the first under new showrunner Chris Licht , the format was modified to replace the cold open monologue with short sketches starring Colbert , his staff , and often featuring that night 's guests , followed by the opening sequence and Colbert entering the stage . Starting with the coverage of the Republican National Convention in July 2016 , a new opening has debuted which starts off with writer Jen Spyra taking on the role of announcer -- becoming the first female announcer in broadcast , late - night television -- and announcing `` It 's The Late Show With Stephen Colbert ! '' to scenes of New York City at night including Yankee Stadium , Times Square and the New York City Subway , with names of the night 's guests imposed on various places . This structure is similar to the openings of other late - night shows such as The Tonight Show or Late Night . Similar to The Colbert Report , graphics that resemble the American Flag have also been added . The open is followed by an extended fake news style desk sequence with a run - through of recent headlines , in a manner reminiscent of television newscasts and that of The Colbert Report . Also , the show follows the same basic format as other late - night talk shows including the use of sketch comedy , guest interviews and musical performances . Colbert 's guest list includes more political and government figures than his contemporaries ; his first two weeks ' guests included visits from Jeb Bush , Joe Biden , Ban Ki - moon , Stephen Breyer , Bernie Sanders , Elizabeth Warren , Donald Trump , and Ted Cruz . Thus far , Colbert has not had any of his staff act as a sidekick or straight man on the show . While Colbert dances and physically interacts with Jon Batiste while the band plays , they only occasionally engage in on - air banter , unlike David Letterman 's relationship with Paul Shaffer or the relationship of other late night hosts with their announcers or bandleaders . After the first few episodes in which Colbert introduced himself , he now uses an off - screen announcer . Occasionally , Colbert has brought out producers of his show , or enlisted the help of audience members , who assume a sidekick - like role for single segments , engaging in light dialogue about a topic . Episodes ( edit ) Colbert interviewing Secretary of State John Kerry Main article : List of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert episodes Notable episodes ( edit ) In the show 's series premiere , Colbert welcomed actor George Clooney and politician Jeb Bush , thanked former host David Letterman , and joined singer Mavis Staples and numerous other musicians for a rendition of Sly and the Family Stone 's `` Everyday People . '' The episode nearly missed its broadcast due to technical difficulties . An early interview with Vice President Joe Biden received particular acclaim . Following the terrorist attacks in Paris that November , Colbert devoted his program to that city . A special football - themed episode aired as the lead - out program for Super Bowl 50 in 2016 , featuring guests President Barack Obama ( in a taped segment ) , Tina Fey , Margot Robbie , Will Ferrell , and Megyn Kelly . On June 22 , 2016 , CBS announced that The Late Show would broadcast two weeks of live episodes during the 2016 Republican and Democratic conventions . The first of these episodes , on July 18 , 2016 , opened with a musical number by Colbert that compared the Republican convention to being `` Christmas in July '' , and featured sketches where Jon Stewart ( revealed to have been living off - grid in a cabin ) is told that Donald Trump had clinched the Republican nomination for the presidential election , Colbert 's persona from The Colbert Report is revived and delivers an edition of The Word on `` Trumpiness '' , and a filmed sketch touring the convention 's venue as his The Hunger Games - inspired character Julius Flickerman . Stewart appeared once more the following Thursday , delivering a segment criticizing the Fox News Channel in the wake of the firing of its CEO Roger Ailes . Colbert 's performances during these episodes were critically praised for their return to an emphasis on news - oriented comedy similar to The Colbert Report and The Daily Show . On May 1 , 2017 , in recognition of the completion of the first 100 days of President Donald Trump 's administration , Stephen Colbert 's monologue was devoted to the president . After showing the interview from the previous day in which President Trump participated in an interview with CBS 's John Dickerson on Face the Nation and referred to the show as `` Deface the Nation '' and abruptly ending the interview without answering one of Dickerson 's questions , Colbert began his monologue , where `` The only thing your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin 's cock holster , '' was one of a barrage of pointed missives toward Trump in the 12 - minute - long monologue . Colbert later addressed the controversy on - air , expressing surprise that he was not fired for the remark , admitting he had used language that was too strong , but also stating that he was generally unrepentant over the rant and that `` I have jokes ; he has the launch codes . So , it 's a fair fight . '' On May 5 , the FCC announced that it would go through a comprehensive investigation of Colbert 's remarks , the result of which was no action taken against Colbert or The Late Show , reasoning in a public statement released on 23 May that there was `` nothing actionable under the FCC 's rules '' as the offending statement had been properly censored . Reception ( edit ) Ratings and viewership ( edit ) The Late Show debuted to 6.55 million viewers according to Nielsen Media Research , beating out all late - night competition and averaging a 4.9 rating among metered market households . With Live + 7 , the series debut garnered 8.26 million viewers . The show 's ratings quickly dropped to second place behind The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon but remained ahead of Jimmy Kimmel Live . While Colbert still managed more young viewers than Letterman in his first few months , analyst Bill Carter wrote that his `` opening splash seemed to dry faster than expected . '' He suggested this was due to little social media presence ( where his competitor , Fallon , surged ) . A study from The Hollywood Reporter revealed Colbert 's version of The Late Show draws the most heavily Democratic audience of the three hour - long late - night shows in its time slot ; Carter noted that `` some speculate Republican viewers have tuned Colbert out . '' An estimated 17 % of Colbert 's audience identifies as Republican , according to a survey in late 2015 . His audience also has the highest percentage of Democratic viewers compared to Fallon and Kimmel . The show 's post-Super Bowl 50 episode in 2016 achieved the highest - ever ratings for the Late Show franchise , attracting an average of 21.1 million viewers . As of early 2016 , Colbert had trailed Jimmy Fallon in ratings , with an average 2.90 million viewers and a . 65 rating among adults 18 - 49 . Colbert 's first week of live episodes in July 2016 during the Republican National Convention saw its highest average weekly viewership since May 6 , 2016 , and a 600 % increase in online traffic to clips of the program on CBS websites . Following the inauguration of Donald Trump as president in January 2017 , The Late Show began to see major ratings gains , aided by the program 's satire of the Trump administration . In the first full week after the inauguration , Colbert narrowly beat Fallon for the first time in average viewership since its premiere . By the end of April , The Late Show had been the top U.S. late - night program in terms of total viewership for sixteen consecutive weeks and was rated the number one late night show by viewership for the first quarter of 2017 . The Late Show became the highest rated late night talk show for the September 2016 to May 2017 season , averaging more than 3.2 million nightly viewers . Reviews ( edit ) The Late Show with Stephen Colbert has garnered mostly positive reviews . The Guardian 's Brian Moylan praised the show 's humor : `` This opener was by no means a perfect show , but there were enough really inventive jokes to make Colbert already seem like an innovator . '' Robert Lloyd of Los Angeles Times deemed it a `` strong start , '' while Variety 's Brian Lowry felt it a `` mostly terrific '' debut , commenting , `` Colbert looks like he has the skill set to settle in and make this job his own , night in and night out . '' Many critics considered the show 's more political segments as reminiscent of The Colbert Report . An early interview with Vice President Joe Biden also received praise : Robert Rorke of the New York Post commented that the review gave Biden `` that essential sense of humanity that makes people believe in a candidate . '' The show 's post-Super Bowl episode in 2016 proved polarizing . `` Sunday 's live episode felt mostly like a wasted opportunity -- one that probably wo n't win many converts among those football fans sober enough to stick around , '' said Brian Lowry at Variety . Daniel D'Addario of Time dubbed his performance `` stiff and uncomfortable , '' writing , `` Colbert might have been better advised not to bother trying with football at all and just put forward a program of pure entertainment . '' The Late Show has received positive reviews following the inauguration of Donald Trump as president . `` Colbert may not be the sarcastic , irony - laden character he once played for Comedy Central , but as Trump has dominated the news every day since taking office , The Late Show has become the home for reasoned , but incisive , discussion , on the perceived overreaches of the White House , '' said David Sims of The Atlantic . James Poniewozik of The New York Times commented , `` Mr. Colbert 's comedy has n't become radically different , but it has been more frank and caustic ... The network - TV Mr. Colbert is more cheery than his cable character . But it 's as if the Trump administration had solved the problem of reconciling his new comedy with his old by making truthiness America 's official language .

It was released on May 17 , 1994 and serves as the first episode of the Aladdin animated series . Culled from material originally intended for the first five episodes of the series , it was the first Disney direct - to - video animated film .

Contents ( hide ) 1 Plot 2 Voice cast 3 Songs 4 Production 5 Reception 5.1 Home video 6 Adaptations 6.1 Comic 6.2 Video game 7 References 8 External links Plot One year after the events of the first film , Aladdin and Abu have settled in the palace with Princess Jasmine and her father , the Sultan , though Aladdin still yearns for adventures and foils the robbery of a group of criminals led by Abis Mal , stealing their loot and returning it to the people of Agrabah . Abis Mal swears vengeance on Aladdin . Meanwhile , in the desert , Iago escapes from the sand dunes and refuses to heed Jafar 's demands to free him from his lamp , instead throwing the lamp into a well and returning to Agrabah , hoping to get close to Aladdin and return to the palace . During a confrontation with Aladdin and Abu , the three are attacked by Abis Mal and his men , and Iago inadvertently saves Aladdin 's life . In gratitude , Aladdin keeps Iago on the palace grounds , promising to speak with the Sultan on his behalf . Abis Mal accidentally finds and frees Jafar after finding his lamp in the well . Hindered by his incompetent master , Jafar manipulates Abis Mal into wasting his first two wishes , and enlists his help in taking revenge on Aladdin in exchange for granting him a special third wish . Abis Mal , still desiring revenge on Aladdin , agrees . At the palace , the Genie returns after seeing the world , having missed his friends greatly , and at a banquet , the Sultan announces his intention to make Aladdin his new grand vizier . Iago is revealed , however , when Abu and Rajah chase him into the banquet . Aladdin desperately speaks up for Iago and convinces the Sultan to spare him , though Jasmine is left heartbroken that Aladdin did not confide in her . Genie and Iago help them reconcile and Jasmine agrees to give Iago a chance . As Iago begins to grow fond of Aladdin , Jafar sneaks into the palace with Abis Mal 's help and confronts him , coercing him into helping him take revenge on Aladdin . Iago reluctantly agrees and arranges a trip for Aladdin and Sultan to a waterfall . Jafar captures Genie and Abu during their picnic and then goes for Sultan , locking them all in the dungeon and framing Aladdin for the Sultan 's murder by posing as Jasmine , presenting the Sultan 's slashed turban and sentencing him to execution . Iago has a change of heart and frees the Genie , enabling him to save Aladdin in time . Though Agrabah is now under Jafar 's control , Aladdin vows to stop him by destroying his lamp , the only way to kill Jafar , while Iago decides to leave altogether . Aladdin and the group confront Jafar in the treasure room just before Abis Mal can wish him free . In the ensuing fight , Jafar transforms into his Genie form , incapacitates the Genie , shatters Carpet and traps Aladdin in a pool of lava . Iago intervenes and grabs the lamp ; he is severely injured by Jafar , but stays conscious long enough to kick the lamp into the lava , destroying it and Jafar once and for all . Aladdin rescues Iago and they all get to safety as Jafar 's magic is undone , restoring Carpet . With Jafar gone , Iago is accepted into the palace , but Aladdin ultimately declines the Sultan 's offer to become Vizier , instead opting to see the world with Jasmine , to Iago 's chagrin . A post-credits scene reveals Abis Mal to have survived , though stuck in a tree and lamenting on his lost third wish . Voice cast Main article : List of Disney 's Aladdin characters Scott Weinger as Aladdin Brad Kane as Aladdin ( singing voice ) Jonathan Freeman as Jafar Gilbert Gottfried as Iago Dan Castellaneta as Genie Linda Larkin as Princess Jasmine Liz Callaway as Princess Jasmine ( singing voice ) Jason Alexander as Abis Mal Frank Welker as Abu Val Bettin as the Sultan Jim Cummings as Razoul Songs `` Arabian Nights '' `` I 'm Looking Out for Me '' `` Nothing in the World ( Quite Like a Friend ) '' `` Forget About Love '' `` You 're Only Second Rate '' Production Originally planned to be a television special , Tad Stones suggested that the film should instead be released on home video . Instead of receiving a theatrical release , Steve Feldstein , director of public relations for Disney 's home video division , stated the decision to release The Return of Jafar on home video was due to time constraints claiming that `` to put the film in the theatrical pipeline would have taken up to five years '' , but releasing it on home video would take `` less than two years . '' In addition to that , Feldstein confirmed that financing was also a consideration since producing a direct - to - video feature would be `` less costly to make than Aladdin . '' Likewise , due to an expanding video market , Disney claimed demand from theatrical and video audiences for Aladdin and other characters was another reason for a speedy follow - up . Due to a well publicized bitter fall - out over the use of his voice in the marketing campaign for Aladdin , Robin Williams refused to reprise the role of the Genie , and was instead replaced by Dan Castellaneta ( best known for voicing Homer Simpson ) . It was also the first Aladdin full - length production without the original voice of Sultan , Douglas Seale . He was replaced by Val Bettin , who reprised his role in the franchise 's animated series and Aladdin and the King of Thieves . Reception Critical reception has been generally mixed to negative . Rotten Tomatoes , the film has an overall approval rating of 33 % based on 11 reviews collected , with a weighted average score of 3.9 / 10 . David Nusair of reelfilm.com summed up most of the negative feelings that contributed to this rating : `` Notable as the first direct - to - video Disney sequel , The Return of Jafar follows Aladdin ( Scott Weinger ) as he attempts to once again foil Jafar 's ( Jonathan Freeman ) villainous plot to take over Agrabah . And despite the fact that he was freed from his lamp at the end of the first film , the genie ( now voiced by Dan Castellaneta ) is back and wackier than ever . It 's clear right from the outset that Disney put very little effort into the production of The Return of Jafar , particularly in the realm of animation . The film has all the style and fluidity of a Saturday morning cartoon , while various songs are bland and forgettable . The repetitive storyline does n't do the movie any favors , and even at a running time of 69 - minutes , doldrums set in almost immediately . Castellaneta does the best he can with the material , but generally comes up short ( particularly when compared with Robin Williams 's manic performance from the original ) . The Return of Jafar is a thoroughly needless sequel that may keep small children engaged , but is bound to come off as nothing less than a huge disappointment for fans of the original . '' Despite the mostly negative reception , on the television program Siskel & Ebert , the film received a `` two thumbs up '' from Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert . Writing for Entertainment Weekly , Steve Daly graded the sequel a C - criticizing it as a `` knockoff '' that `` carries the Disney label and costs about as much as a tape of Aladdin , but it 's clear from the first jerky frame that the same time , care , and creativity did n't go into it . '' Home video The Return of Jafar was first released on VHS in the United States on May 17 , 1994 , being the first installment of Walt Disney Home Video collection series . In its first two days , it had sold more than 1.5 million VHS copies . By June 1994 , more than 4.6 million VHS copies were sold in less than a week . Ultimately , more than ten million copies were sold ranking among the top 15 top - selling videos of all time ( at the time ) , grossing $150 million in profits . The trailer for the film was seen on the 1994 VHS videocassette release of The Fox and the Hound . Originally released on VHS that year , The Return of Jafar was later reissued on Special Edition DVD ( with `` Aladdin : '' added to the title ) on January 18 , 2005 , with digitally restored picture and remastered sound . The Special Edition DVD , along with the other two films in the series , were placed on moratorium ( `` placed back into the Disney Vault '' ) on January 31 , 2008 in the U.S. , and February 4 , 2008 in the U.K. The Return of Jafar , along with Aladdin and the King of Thieves was released on Blu - ray / DVD / Digital HD Combo Pack on January 5 , 2016 as a Disney Movie Club exclusive in North America . Adaptations Comic When Disney was publishing their own comics in the mid-90s , they produced a two issue Aladdin comic presenting an alternate version of The Return of Jafar . It was titled The Return of Aladdin . The comic is introduced by the Merchant from the first film . The story starts off showing that Aladdin has been particularly bored of palace life . Meanwhile , Jafar has escaped the Cave of Wonders . Iago is given the task of finding the right master for Jafar to manipulate . Their search seems hopeless as some people are able to enjoy all three wishes or messing up . They find someone to use the lamp , who is known as Isabella , a master magician . Isabella is similar in appearance to Jafar ( except his clothing is green ) . His first wish is to return to Agrabah Palace ( as he performed entertainment to the sultan in # 1 ) . His second wish is for an army of soldiers to pursue Aladdin and Jasmine when they catch on to Jafar 's presence . He is persuaded to use his third wish to trap Jafar and Iago in the lamp again , sending them back to the cave . Due to persuasion by the Genie , the Sultan hires Isabella to a permanent entertainment job at the palace . The end of the story shows the merchant having a black lamp similar to Jafar 's , but he claims it to be worthless . Video game The plot of the film is loosely used in Agrabah , one of the worlds in Kingdom Hearts II , and the Peddler appears from the first film . As in the film , Iago escapes from Jafar and does his best to respect Aladdin , Jasmine , Sora , Donald and Goofy , although Jafar coerces him into aiding him in his revenge , almost damaging Iago 's friendship with Aladdin and Sora , but he redeems himself after taking a blow for Aladdin which almost claims his life . The Peddler , at the beginning , comes across Jafar 's lamp , but sells it to Aladdin , Sora , Donald and Goofy for a rare artifact in the Cave of Wonders . Despite Aladdin sealing the lamp in the palace dungeon , the greedy Peddler breaks into the dungeon and frees Jafar , unleashing his fury on Agrabah until he is defeated by Sora and company . The Peddler 's fate is left ambiguous . This was the first Disney sequel to have its plot adapted into a level in the Kingdom Hearts series , which was then followed by the Grid being an adaptation of Tron Legacy . Furthermore , there is a mild allusion to the Agrabah boss battle in Kingdom Hearts . Sora must fight Jafar in Genie form , surrounded by a lava pit with raising and lowering levels , while Iago flies above with Jafar 's lamp . Only striking the lamp has any effect on Jafar 's health . This fight also takes place in the second game , Kingdom Hearts : Chain of Memories , and its PlayStation 2 remake . In both versions of Chain of Memories , the boss fight is due to the majority of the game being illusions created from Sora 's memories . A second playable character , Riku , also fights the boss in his mode . The battle is once again visited in Kingdom Hearts Coded and Kingdom Hearts Re : coded .

From the beginning unions could be viewed as a reflection of the racial disunity of the country , with the earliest unions being predominantly for white workers . Through the turbulent years of 1948 -- 1991 trade unions played an important part in developing political and economic resistance , and eventually were one of the driving forces in realising the transition to an inclusive democratic government . Today trade unions are still an important force in South Africa , with 3.11 million members representing 25.3 % of the formal work force . The Congress of South African Trade Unions ( COSATU ) is the largest of the three major trade union centres , with a membership of 1.8 million , and is part of the Tripartite alliance with the ruling African National Congress ( ANC ) and the South African Communist Party ( SACP ) . Contents ( hide ) 1 Early history 2 1970 -- 1991 3 Trade unions today 3.1 Labour and HIV / AIDS 3.2 Labour Relations Act 3.3 Bargaining councils 3.4 Agency Shop Agreements 3.5 Closed Shop Agreements 4 References Early History ( edit ) Early trade unions were often for whites only , with organizations like the South African Confederation of Labour ( SACoL ) favouring employment policies based on racial discrimination . They also often did not fully accept women into the unions . Mary Fitzgerald is considered the first female South African trade unionist and who led many strikes and sit ins before 1911 . The first trade union to organise black workers was the Industrial Workers of Africa ( IWA ) , formed in September 1917 by the revolutionary syndicalist International Socialist League ( ISL ) . The IWA merged into the Industrial and Commercial Workers ' Union of Africa ( ICU ) , formed in 1919 , in 1920 . The ICU was initially a union for black and coloured dockworkers in Cape Town and formed by Clements Kadalie and Arthur F. Batty . It was the first nationally organized union for black workers who would eventually include rural farm workers , domestic and factory workers , dockworkers , teachers and retailers . By the 1920s it was said to be more popular than the ANC and eventually had branches in the Free State , Transvaal and Natal and in 1925 it moved its headquarters to Johannesburg . In 1924 , the South African Trade Union Congress ( SATUC ) was formed with 30,000 members of black trade unions with Bill Andrews as its secretary . It would attract black trade unions from the dry - cleaning , furniture , sweets and automobile industries . By the 1930s the South African Trades and Labour Council ( SATLC ) had united much of the country . The SATLC maintained an explicitly non-racial stance , and accepted affiliation of black trade unions , as well as calling for full legal rights for black trade unionists . Some black unions joined SATLC , while in the 1940s others affiliated with the Council of Non-European Trade Unions , raising it to a peak of 119 unions and 158,000 members in 1945 . In 1946 , the CNETU with the African National Congress and the South African Communist Party pushed for the African Mine Workers ' Strike to become a General Strike . The strike was broken by the police brutality which was part of the rise of the National Party ( NP ) and their slogan of apartheid as all black trade unions were violently suppressed . 1970 -- 1991 ( edit ) By 1954 SATLC was disbanded , and with the formation of the Trade Council of South Africa ( TUCSA ) union membership included white , coloured , and Asians , with blacks in dependent organizations . Independent black unions were excluded from affiliation and 14 previous unions from SATLC founded the South African Congress of Trade Unions ( SACTU ) . SACTU merged with the Council of Non-European Trade Unions and became the trade union arm of the ANC . The union grew to a membership of 53,000 by 1961 , but was driven underground , and for a decade black unionism was again virtually silenced in South Africa. H In 1979 the Federation of South African Trade Unions ( FOSATU ) was formed , with the Council of Unions of South Africa ( CUSA ) being created in the following year . What was to become one of the largest unions in South Africa , the National Union of Mineworkers ( NUM ) was created in 1982 , and was deeply involved in the political conflict against the ruling National Party . The union embraced four `` pillars '' of action - armed struggle , mass mobilisation ( ungovernability ) , international solidarity , and underground operation . The Congress of South African Trade Unions ( COSATU ) was formed in 1985 , and FOSATU merged into it in the same year ( more formally known in the teaching industry ) . The largest strike up to that date in South Africa 's history took place on 1 May 1986 , when 1.5 million black workers `` stayed away '' in a demand for recognition of an official May Day holiday . In the following June up to 200 trade union officials , including Elijah Barayi and Jay Naidoo of the COSATU , and Phiroshaw Camay , the general secretary of the CUSA , were reported to be arrested under a renewed state of emergency . Also in 1986 , CUSA joined with the Azanian Confederation of Trade Unions ( AZACTU ) to form the National Council of Trade Unions ( NACTU ) , and Chief Mangosuthu Buthelezi created the United Workers ' Union of South Africa ( UWUSA ) , particularly to oppose disinvestment in South Africa . The UWUSA eventually faded from view , but not before revelations in July 1991 that it had collaborated with anti-union employers in a campaign against both COSATU and NACTU activists , and had received at least 1.5 million Rand from the security police . In 1988 a new Labour Relations Act placed restrictions on labour activities , including giving the Labour Court the power to ban lawful strikes and lock - outs . This was to be short - lived , and negotiations between COSATU , NACTU and the South African Committee on Labour Affairs ( SACCOLA ) eventually produced a 1991 amendment which effectively repealed the previous powers . In 1990 SACTU , which had continued underground activities from exile , dissolved and advised its members to join COSATU . COSATU , as a member of the Tripartite alliance with the ANC and SACP , provided material support in the form of strikes and both political and economic unrest , which eventually led to the displacement of the National Party , and the majority victory of the ANC in the 1994 political elections . Trade unions today ( edit ) Trade unions are recognized within the 1996 Constitution of South Africa , which provides for the right to join trade unions , and for unions to collectively bargain and strike . This has translated into the Labour Relations Act which established the working framework for both unions and employers . Three institutions have also been created to further the goals of reducing industrial relations conflict , and both eliminating unfair discrimination and redressing past discrimination in the workplace : the National Economic Development and Labour Council ( NEDLAC ) , the Labour Court , and the Council for Conciliation , Mediation and Arbitration ( CCMA ) .

COSATU , with a membership of 1.8 million , is followed by FEDUSA with 560,000 members and NACTU with almost 400,000 members including the powerful mineworkers union . All three are affiliated with the International Trade Union Confederation . A fourth national trade union centre was formed in 2003 . The Confederation of South African Workers ' Unions ( CONSAWU ) is affiliated with the World Confederation of Labour ( WCL ) . The 2006 ICFTU Annual Survey of violations of trade union rights noted South Africa : `` Serious violations were reported during the year , including the death of two workers killed by their employer in a wage dispute , and a striking farm worker killed by security guards . Protest strikes and demonstrations met with violent repression , such as the use of rubber bullets , which in the case of striking truck drivers , led to injuries . '' Labour and HIV / AIDS ( edit ) South Africa has one of the largest incidence of HIV / AIDS in the world , with a 2005 estimate of 5.5 million people living with HIV -- 12.4 % of the population . The trade union movement has taken a role in combating this pandemic . COSATU is a key partner in the Treatment Action Campaign ( TAC ) , a registered charity and political force working to educate and promote understanding about HIV / AIDS , and to prevent new infections , as well as push for greater access to antiretrovirals . COSATU passed a resolution in 1998 to campaign for treatment . `` It was clear to the labour movement at that time that its lowest paid members were dying because they could n't afford medicines , '' says Theodora Steel , Campaigns Coordinator at COSATU . `` We saw TAC as a natural ally in a campaign for treatment . We passed a formal resolution at our congress to assist and build TAC . '' Notwithstanding the formal alliance of COSATU with the ruling ANC party , it has been at odds with the government , calling for the roll - out of comprehensive public access to antiretroviral drugs . Labour Relations Act ( edit ) The Labour Relations Act was passed in 1995 , and subsequently experienced major amendments in 1996 , 1998 and 2002 . Its stated purpose is to `` give effect to section 27 of the Constitution '' by regulating organisational rights of trade unions , promoting collective bargaining , regulating the right to strike and the recourse to lockouts , as well as providing mechanisms for dispute resolution and the establishment of Labour Court and Labour Appeal Court as superior courts , `` with exclusive jurisdiction to decide matters arising from the Act '' . The act also addresses employee participation in decision - making , and international law obligations in respect to labour relations . The Labour Relations Act does not apply to the South African National Defence Force , the National Intelligence Agency , or the South African Secret Service . Bargaining councils ( edit ) Bargaining councils are formed by registered trade unions and employers ' organisations . They deal with collective agreements , attempt to solve labour disputes , and make proposals on labour policies and laws . As well , they may administer pension funds , sick pay , unemployment and training schemes , and other such benefits for their members . The Amended Labour Relations Act also notes that these councils are to `` extend the services and functions of the bargaining council to workers in the informal sector and home workers . '' Agency Shop Agreements ( edit ) Agency Shop Agreements are struck by a majority trade union ( either one union , or a coalition of unions representing the majority of workers employed ) and an employer or employers ' organisation . This agreement requires employers to deduct a fee from the wages of non-union workers to `` ensure that non-union workers , who benefit from the union 's bargaining efforts , make a contribution towards those efforts '' . Permission from the employee is not required for deductions to be assessed . However , if the employee is a conscientious objector , that is refuses membership in a trade union on the grounds of conscience , she or he may request that their fees are paid to a fund administered by the Department of Labour . Closed Shop Agreements ( edit ) Closed shop agreements , which require all workers in the covered workplace to join unions , can be struck if 2 thirds of the workers have voted in favour of the agreement . Workers must join the union or face dismissal . In addition , `` if a union expels a member or refuses to allow a new worker to become a union member , and if this expulsion or refusal is in accordance with the union 's constitution or is for a fair reason , then the employer will have to dismiss the worker . This dismissal is not considered unfair . '' Conscientious objectors may not be dismissed for refusing to join the union . Restrictions on closed shops include the requirement that workers are not compelled to be trade union members before obtaining employment , and that dues collected from employees are only used to `` advance or protect the socio - economic interests of workers .

Other references to the song were featured in Rocket 's appearance in The Incredible Hulk # 271 ( May 1982 ) , which was titled `` Now Somewhere In the Black Holes of Sirius Major There Lived a Young Boy Named Rocket Raccoon '' and saw the Hulk help Rocket stop a villain trying to steal `` Gideon 's Bible '' , which in the Marvel Universe was a book that contained the sum of all knowledge on the Loonies colony . Rocket Raccoon first appeared in Marvel Preview # 7 ( Summer 1976 ) , in the back - up feature `` The Sword in the Star '' , under the name `` Rocky '' . He would next appear in The Incredible Hulk # 271 ( May 1982 ) , where it is learned that `` Rocky '' is short for `` Rocket '' .

The series ended in May 2015 as one of many titles to be cancelled for Marvel 's Secret Wars event . A new volume , titled Rocket Raccoon and Groot , began in January 2016 as part of the All - New , All - Different Marvel relaunch . Fictional character biography ( edit ) Rocket Raccoon # 1 ( May 1985 ) . Cover art by Mike Mignola and Al Gordon . Rocket Raccoon acts as the `` Guardian of the Keystone Quadrant '' , an area of outer space sealed off from the rest of the cosmos by the so - called Galacian Wall . Rocket is captain of the starship Rack ' n ' Ruin , and he and his first mate Wal Rus ( a talking walrus ) come from the planet Halfworld in the Keystone Quadrant , an abandoned colony for the mentally ill where the animal companions were genetically manipulated to grant them human level intelligence and bipedal body construction for many to become caretakers of the inmates . Rocket was Halfworld 's chief law officer ( `` ranger '' ) who protected the colony against various threats . At one point , Judson Jakes tried to steal the Halfworld Bible , but was thwarted by Rocket and various animal associates . Later , Lord Dyvyne abducted Rocket 's friend Lylla , and Jakes began the Toy War . As the Toy War continued , Blackjack O'Hare teamed up with Rocket , and Rocket was reunited with Lylla . The Rack ' n ' Ruin was soon destroyed , as Judson Jakes and Lord Dyvyne teamed up to kill Rocket Raccoon . Rocket Raccoon and his friends cured the Loonies of their mental illnesses , as Judson Jakes and Lord Dyvyne were apparently killed . Rocket and the animals as well as the robots left Halfworld and took off into space for their own adventures . Some time later , Rocket was revealed to have been a laboratory subject on the Stranger 's planet , and escaped his captivity there . Guardians of the Galaxy ( edit ) Rocket Raccoon resurfaced as a member of the team chosen to accompany Star - Lord on his mission to stop a Phalanx infiltration of the Kree homeworld . Rocket is depicted as a gifted military tactician who is fearless , loyal , and insightful . It is heavily implied that he has a case of obsessive compulsive disorder . Rocket 's trademark rocket skates are absent . Rocket joins the new Guardians of the Galaxy at the behest of his friend Star - Lord . It is he who suggests that the team adopt that moniker after hearing it mentioned by Major Victory . Later on , when the team almost disbands and Peter Quill ( Star - Lord ) disappears ( sent into the Negative Zone by Ronan ) , Rocket keeps the team alive , and brings in Groot as member , as the two had become firm friends . Rocket takes over as leader until they rescue Peter , and save the Earth from an alien invasion . When the team tries to halt the growing War of Kings , Rocket leads the portion of the team assigned to make contact with the Shi'ar . They are unable to teleport into the Emperor Vulcan 's flagship and have to be rescued by the Starjammers and Rocket 's old friend Ch'od . They are able to bring back the rightful queen of the Shi'ar , but she is killed after Rocket departs , much to his horror . After the Guardians disband , Rocket Raccoon takes up a normal job with Timely Inc . He and Groot were reunited and tricked into returning to Halfworld : here , he found out his memories of the place were mostly half - truths and deliberately crafted fake memories . In reality , Jakes and Blackjack O'Hare had worked with Rocket in providing security at Halfworld Asylum for the Criminally Insane ; Doctor Dyvyne had been Head of Psychology there ; and both the anthropomorphic animals and the automaton clowns were deliberately created to work at the asylum , as their appearance would calm the inmates . The crises that Rocket half - remembered had been caused by the psychic supervillain the Star Thief , who had been admitted as an inmate and used his psychic powers to turn the inhabitants against each other . Rocket had turned the warders into a biological `` key '' to keep Star - Thief locked up , and deliberately altered his mind and left Halfworld so it could never be opened - but he was tricked into returning by the Thief , whose mind had escaped into the asylum after his host body died . When the Guardians of the Galaxy title was relaunched in 2013 , Rocket was again a member of the team . In the first issue of Secret Wars , the Guardians of the Galaxy take part in the incursion between Earth - 616 and Earth - 1610 , in which Rocket and Groot are killed by the Children of Tomorrow . All - new , All - Different Marvel ( edit ) As part of the All - New , All - Different Marvel , Rocket Raccoon takes leadership of the Guardians of the Galaxy while Star - Lord was busy handling things on Spartax . Powers and abilities ( edit ) Rocket Raccoon possesses the normal attributes of an Earth raccoon , including speed ( which has been additionally amplified by his training ) , and an acute sense of smell , sight , hearing and touch . Sharp claws allow him to scale walls , buildings , and trees with ease . He is an accomplished starship pilot , an expert marksman with the two laser pistols he carries as well as having an affinity for heavy weapons . He is a master military tactician and leader , attributes that help him take charge of the Guardians of the Galaxy when Star - Lord is unavailable . In other media ( edit ) Television ( edit ) Rocket Raccoon ( along with the other Guardians of the Galaxy ) appears in The Avengers : Earth 's Mightiest Heroes , voiced by Greg Ellis . He ( along with the other Guardians of the Galaxy ) is seen in the episode `` Michael Korvac '' . Rocket Raccoon appears in the Ultimate Spider - Man cartoon series , voiced by Billy West ( in the episodes `` Guardians of the Galaxy '' ) and later by Trevor Devall ( for subsequent episodes ) . In the episode `` Guardians of the Galaxy '' , he is shown as a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy and Sam Alexander 's trainer . Spider - Man and the Guardians save Earth from Korvac 's Chitauri army . In the episode `` The Return of the Guardians of the Galaxy '' , Rocket Raccoon was with the Guardians of the Galaxy when they land on Earth to repair their spaceship at the time when Titus leads the Chitauri into targeting Sam 's Nova helmet . The episode `` Return to the Spider - Verse '' Pt. 2 features a pirate version of Rocket Raccoon that lives in a pirate reality . He and Cosmo the Spacedog assisted Howard the Duck in a mutiny against Web Beard the Pirate when he claimed the treasure for himself . With help from Spider - Man and Kid Arachnid , the mutineers and Web Beard got back together even when helping Spider - Man and Kid Arachnid into fighting the Kraken . Rocket Raccoon appears in Avengers Assemble , voiced initially by Seth Green ( in `` Guardians and Spaceknights '' ) , and later by Trevor Devall ( in `` Widow 's Run '' ) .

Rocket Raccoon appears in the live - action Marvel Studios film Guardians of the Galaxy , voiced by Bradley Cooper and played by Sean Gunn in motion capture . His real name in the film is 89P13 . In addition to being genetically altered , Rocket is shown to have cybernetic implants within his body . He is only referred to as `` Rocket '' in the film , even asking `` what 's a raccoon ? '' when told of his resemblance to the Earthly animal . He serves as the team 's pilot and technical expert , providing the weapon that Peter Quill uses against Ronan the Accuser in the final confrontation and piloting a Ravager ship in the final assault against Ronan 's fleet . Rocket also displays a talent for engineering jailbreaks . Having previously escaped from 22 prisons , he devises and executes a scheme to free his eventual teammates from a Nova Corps prison . Screenwriter Nicole Perlman has stated that early drafts of the film did not include the character due to `` a little bit of a fear that he would come across as cartoonish because he 's a raccoon . '' Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige was persuaded to approve Rocket 's inclusion in the film . A live raccoon named `` Oreo '' was used on set to help animators accurately capture the motion and behaviors of it for their CGI model . Director James Gunn took Oreo to the film 's European premiere . Cooper returns as the voice for Rocket in the sequel , Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 , released in 2017 . In the film , he causes the team to get chased by the Sovereign after stealing their anulax batteries , much to Quill and Gamora 's ire . He is left on the planet they crash landed in ( as a result of him and Quill fighting over the controls ) to guard Nebula with Baby Groot after the rest explore Ego 's planet . They are captured by the Ravagers and imprisoned with Yondu . During their imprisonment , Rocket and Yondu bond over their similarities and manage to escape the ship alongside Groot and Yondu 's right - hand man Kraglin . They assist the other Guardians in combating Ego 's forces . When Rocket tries to assist Yondu in escaping the planet before it explodes , Yondu requests to stay behind to help Quill . Rocket gives him a protective suit and jet pack and welcomes him as a member of the Guardians . He is saddened by Yondu 's sacrifice in the climax . A running gag throughout the film involves Rocket being repeatedly mistaken for different animals , and being angered when called a raccoon . Bradley Cooper will reprise his role as Rocket in the upcoming film Avengers : Infinity War .

"Rocket Raccoon appears in the live-action Marvel Studios film Guardians of the Galaxy,[43] voiced by Bradley Cooper[44] and played by Sean Gunn in motion capture.[45] His real name in the film is 89P13. In addition to being genetically altered, Rocket is shown to have cybernetic implants within his body. He is only referred to as \"Rocket\" in the film, even asking \"what's a raccoon?\" when told of his resemblance to the Earthly animal. He serves as the team's pilot and technical expert, providing the weapon that Peter Quill uses against Ronan the Accuser in the final confrontation and piloting a Ravager ship in the final assault against Ronan's fleet. Rocket also displays a talent for engineering jailbreaks. Having previously escaped from 22 prisons, he devises and executes a scheme to free his eventual teammates from a Nova Corps prison. Screenwriter Nicole Perlman has stated that early drafts of the film did not include the character due to \"a little bit of a fear that he would come across as cartoonish because he's a raccoon.\" Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige was persuaded to approve Rocket's inclusion in the film.[46] A live raccoon named \"Oreo\" was used on set to help animators accurately capture the motion and behaviors of it for their CGI model.[47] Director James Gunn took Oreo to the film's European premiere.[48]"
