Contrary to popular assumption , he was not related to the celebrated composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein , but the two men were friends . Within the world of professional music , they were distinguished from each other by the use of the nicknames Bernstein West ( Elmer ) and Bernstein East ( Leonard ) . They pronounced their last names differently ; Elmer pronounced his ( BERN - steen ) , and Leonard 's was ( BERN - stine ) . During his childhood , Bernstein performed professionally as a dancer and an actor , in the latter case playing the part of Caliban in The Tempest on Broadway , and he also won several prizes for his painting . He attended Manhattan 's progressive Walden School and gravitated toward music at the age of twelve , at which time he was given a scholarship in piano by Henriette Michelson , a Juilliard teacher who guided him throughout his entire career as a pianist . She took him to play some of his improvisations for composer Aaron Copland , who was encouraging and selected Israel Citkowitz as a teacher for the young boy . Bernstein 's music has some stylistic similarities to Copland 's music , most notably in his western scores , particularly sections of Big Jake , in the Gregory Peck film Amazing Grace and Chuck , and in his spirited score for the 1958 film adaptation of Erskine Caldwell 's novel God 's Little Acre . Throughout his life , Bernstein demonstrated an enthusiasm for an even wider spectrum of the arts than his childhood interests would imply and , in 1959 , when he was scoring The Story on Page One , he considered becoming a novelist and asked the film 's screenwriter , Clifford Odets , to give him lessons in writing fiction . Career ( edit ) Bernstein wrote the theme songs or other music for more than 200 films and TV shows , including The Magnificent Seven , The Great Escape , The Ten Commandments ( 1956 ) , True Grit , The Man with the Golden Arm , To Kill a Mockingbird , Robot Monster , and the fanfare used in the National Geographic television specials . His theme for The Magnificent Seven is also familiar to television viewers , as it was used in commercials for Marlboro cigarettes . Bernstein also provided the score to many of the short films of Ray and Charles Eames . In 1961 Bernstein co-founded Äva Records an American record label based in Los Angeles together with Fred Astaire , Jackie Mills and Tommy Wolf . Broadway ( edit ) In addition to his film music , Bernstein wrote the scores for two Broadway musicals , How Now , Dow Jones , with lyricist Carolyn Leigh , in 1967 and Merlin , with lyricist Don Black , in 1983 . One of Bernstein 's tunes has since gained a lasting place in U.S. college sports culture . In 1968 , University of South Carolina football head coach Paul Dietzel wrote new lyrics to `` Step to the Rear '' , from How Now , Dow Jones . The South Carolina version of the tune , `` The Fighting Gamecocks Lead the Way '' , has been the school 's fight song ever since . Politics ( edit ) Along with many in Hollywood , Bernstein faced censure during the McCarthy era of the early 1950s . Bernstein was called by the House Un-American Activities Committee when it was discovered that he had written some music reviews for a Communist newspaper . After he refused to name names , pointing out that he had never attended a Communist Party meeting , he found himself composing music for movies such as Robot Monster and Cat - Women of the Moon , a step down from his earlier Sudden Fear and Saturday 's Hero . Association with John Landis ( edit ) John Landis grew up near Bernstein , and befriended him through his children . Years later , he requested that Bernstein compose the music for National Lampoon 's Animal House , over the studio 's objections . He explained to Bernstein that he thought that Bernstein 's score , playing it straight as if the comedic Delta frat characters were actual heroes , would emphasize the comedy further . The opening theme to the movie is based upon a slight inversion of a secondary theme from Brahms 's Academic Festival Overture . Bernstein accepted the job , and it sparked a second wave in his career , where he continued to compose music for high - profile comedies such as Ghostbusters , Stripes , Airplane ! and The Blues Brothers , as well as most of Landis 's films for the next 15 years , including the famed music video to the Michael Jackson song `` Thriller '' . Cape Fear ( edit ) When Martin Scorsese announced that he was re-making Cape Fear , Bernstein adapted Bernard Herrmann 's original score to the new film . Bernstein leapt at the opportunity to work with Scorsese , as well as to pay homage to Herrmann . Scorsese and Bernstein subsequently worked together on two more films , The Age of Innocence ( 1993 ) and Bringing Out the Dead ( 1999 ) . Bernstein had previously conducted Herrmann 's original unused score for Alfred Hitchcock 's 1966 Torn Curtain . Classical ( edit ) Having studied composition under Aaron Copland , Roger Sessions , and Stefan Wolpe , Bernstein also performed as a concert pianist between 1939 and 1950 and wrote numerous classical compositions , including three orchestral suites , two song cycles , various compositions for viola and piano and for solo piano , and a string quartet . As president of the Young Musicians Foundation , Bernstein became acquainted with classical guitarist Christopher Parkening and wrote a Concerto for Guitar and Orchestra , which Parkening recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra under Bernstein 's baton for the Angel label in 1999 . In addition , Bernstein was a professor at the University of Southern California 's Thornton School of Music and conductor of the San Fernando Valley Symphony in the early 1970s . Awards ( edit ) Over the course of his career , Bernstein won an Academy Award , an Emmy Award , and two Golden Globe Awards . In addition , he was nominated for the Tony Award three times and a Grammy Award five times . He received 14 Academy Award nominations and was nominated at least once per decade from the 1950s until the 2000s , but his only win was for Thoroughly Modern Millie for Best Original Music Score . Bernstein was recognized by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association with Golden Globes for his scores for To Kill a Mockingbird and Hawaii . In 1963 , he won the Emmy for Excellence in Television for his score of the documentary The Making of The President 1960 . He is the recipient of Western Heritage Awards for The Magnificent Seven ( 1960 ) and The Hallelujah Trail ( 1965 ) . He received five Grammy Award nominations from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences and garnered two Tony Award nominations for the Broadway musicals How Now Dow Jones and Merlin . Additional honors included Lifetime achievement awards from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences , American Society of Composers , Authors and Publishers ( ASCAP ) , the Society for the Preservation of Film Music , the USA , Woodstock , Santa Barbara , Newport Beach and Flanders International Film Festivals and the Foundation for a Creative America . In 1996 , Bernstein was honored with a star on Hollywood Boulevard . In 1999 , he received an Honorary Doctorate of Music from Five Towns College in New York City and was honored by the American Film Institute in Los Angeles . Bernstein again was honored by ASCAP with its marquee Founders Award in 2001 and with the NARAS Governors Award in June 2004 . His scores for The Magnificent Seven and To Kill a Mockingbird were ranked by the American Film Institute as the eighth and seventeenth greatest American film scores of all time , respectively , on the list of AFI 's 100 Years of Film Scores . Bernstein , Bernard Herrmann , Max Steiner , and Jerry Goldsmith are the only composers to have two scores listed , and are therefore in second place for the most scores on the list , behind John Williams , who has three . Other Bernstein film scores nominated for the list are as follows : The Age of Innocence ( 1993 ) Far from Heaven ( 2002 ) The Great Escape ( 1963 ) Hawaii ( 1966 ) The Man with the Golden Arm ( 1955 ) Summer and Smoke ( 1961 ) Sweet Smell of Success ( 1957 ) The Ten Commandments ( 1956 ) Walk on the Wild Side ( 1962 ) Personal life and death ( edit ) Bernstein made his home in Hope Ranch in Santa Barbara , California , in the 1990s . He died of cancer at his Ojai , California , home on August 18 , 2004 . His publicist stated that Bernstein had had a lengthy illness . He was survived by his wife , Eve , and their two sons , Peter and Gregory , and two daughters , Emilie and Elizabeth . He had five grandchildren at the time of his death .

Get Me Out of Here ! ( occasionally shortened to I 'm a Celebrity ) is an Australian reality television series on Network Ten which is based on the British television show of the same name . The series sees celebrities living in the jungle with few creature comforts and compete in various challenges to earn meals and other luxuries . The celebrities compete for $100,000 to be donated to their chosen charity . The series is set in Kruger National Park , South Africa , and is hosted by Julia Morris and Chris Brown . On 16 July 2015 the series was renewed for a second season , which premiered on 31 January 2016 . The second season was accompanied by the companion series I 'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here ! Now ! . It aired on Eleven following each episode of the main series , hosted by comedian and former season one contestant Joel Creasey and The Bachelor 3 contestant Heather Maltman . On August 1 , 2016 , the series was renewed for a third season with Morris and Brown returning as hosts , which premiered on 29 January 2017 .

During their time in the jungle they are isolated from the outside world and are not commonly aware of outside events . The contestants compete for $100,000 to be donated to a charity of their choosing , in addition to being personally reimbursed for their participation . While in the jungle , some of the contestants ( generally voted by the viewing public ) compete in challenges for food and luxuries for the camp . These challenges often involve local wildlife and are meant to take the contestants out of their comfort zone . Each week one or more of the contestants are evicted from the jungle , based on viewer votes . In addition , if the contestants become overwhelmed by their situation they can leave the series by speaking the phrase `` I 'm a celebrity get me out of here ! '' . However , it is reported that if contestants do quit they will have their income for participating in the series markedly reduced . Throughout the show , additional contestants ( called `` intruders '' ) enter the competition ; and beginning with season two , some contestants are only included temporarily ( i.e. having a guest appearance ) . In the end , a final viewer vote occurs to determine the winner of the series , who is given the title of `` King and / or Queen of the Jungle '' . Bush tucker trials ( edit ) The contestants take part in daily trials to earn food . These trials aim to test both physical and mental abilities . The winner is usually determined by the number of stars collected during the trial , with each star representing a meal earned by the winning contestant for their camp mates . Celebrity chest challenges ( edit ) Two or more celebrities are chosen to take part in the celebrity chest challenge to win luxuries for camp . Each challenge involves completing a task to win a chest to take back to camp . However , to win the luxury item in the chest , the campmates must correctly answer a question . If they fail to answer correctly , the luxury item is forfeited and a joke prize is won . The luxury item is `` donated '' by a celebrity from the outside . Secret mission ( edit ) This is a challenge where some celebrities have to take part without alerting the other celebrities - if they are successful in their ' missions ' , they are rewarded . Mystery box ( edit ) A mystery box sees a box delivered to the campsite , each time containing a different gift for the contestants . Production ( edit ) Broadcast ( edit ) The show is broadcast Monday to Thursday at 7.30 pm and on Sunday nights at 6 : 30 pm ( for the weekly eviction show ) . All shows are presented by Julia Morris & Chris Brown from a nearby studio . The program is live to AEDT States ( New South Wales , Victoria , Tasmania and the Australian Capital Territory ) , in other states the program is delayed to accommodate local time zones . The Fallout Zone ( edit ) In addition to the television broadcast , for the first season a live feed from the camp site aired for an hour after the AEDT airing of the show on Ten 's website and mobile app , titled The Fallout Zone but more commonly referred to as FOZ . The content of feed was available on the website after the fact so viewers in other states could watch the show after their airing of the main show . The feed was hosted by comedian Sam Mac and producer Ciaran `` The Butcher '' Flannery , also known as `` The C - Word '' . On 8 March and March 12 , 2015 , producer Dominic `` The Domin8or '' Sullivan filled in during Flannery 's absence . The duo interact with viewers through Twitter , using the hashtag # FOZ . Mac and Flannery have no control over the shots used in the stream which has resulted in one episode featuring a 20 - minute shot of a waterfall and , on 16 February 2015 , a 15 - minute conversation featuring a sound technician looking for Bob being picked up . On 5 March 2015 the show famously featured audio problems during which Mac and Flannery 's voices fluctuated between chipmunk and Darth Vader filters for the first thirty minutes . The show 's theme song is Highway to the Fallout Zone sung by Sam Mac . The show did not return for the second season . Public voting ( edit ) Throughout the show the public votes on who competes in the following tucker trial and who to evict from the campsite . Viewers can either vote via SMS ( by texting the name of the celebrity ) or vote via Social Media ( namely Facebook or Twitter ) by using the celebrity 's hashtag ( # celeb ( name ) ) . Voting via social media is limited to 20 votes per account . For tucker trial voting , viewers vote for celebrity they wish to complete . For eviction voting , viewers vote for a celebrity to stay . Voting closes at approximately 7 : 30pm AEDT for Sunday 's eviction vote and at approximately 8pm AEDT for voting on other days . Prior to the premiere of the second season , it was announced that the voting process would change slightly compared to the inaugural season . SMS voting wil be used for both trial and eviction voting while Twitter voting will be used exclusively for trial voting . This change was implemented to even the playing field between celebrities with a larger international fan base ( who are more likely to receive Twitter votes from said fan base ) and celebrities with a smaller fan base who are only known in Australia . However , this decision was later reversed , allowing Twitter and Facebook votes for the finals . Series overview ( edit ) Winners are crowned King or Queen of their respective year .

Voice cast ( edit ) Kevin Conroy as Batman / Bruce Wayne Melissa Rauch as Harley Quinn / Dr. Harleen Quinzel Loren Lester as Nightwing / Dick Grayson Paget Brewster as Poison Ivy / Pamela Isley Kevin Michael Richardson as Floronic Man / Jason Woodrue John DiMaggio as Swamp Thing / Alec Holland , Sarge Steel Eric Bauza as Wesley Robin Atkin Downes as Charles `` Rhino '' Daily Trevor Devall as Bobby Liebowitz Rob Paulsen as Harold Goldblum , Min & Max Mindy Sterling as Project Supervisor Bruce Timm as Booster Gold / Michael J. Carter Production ( edit ) The director is Sam Liu , who also worked on three prior DC animated films . The story is written by Bruce Timm partnered with Jim Krieg . However , according to Krieg , Timm conceived the complete story while he added some details to it . Kevin Conroy voices Batman and Loren Lester voices Nightwing , both of whom voiced those same roles in Batman : The Animated Series and in The New Batman Adventures . The Big Bang Theory regular Melissa Rauch voices Harley Quinn , which is her first time voicing the character . Voice director Wes Gleason said , `` They 've grabbed these characters that are so established from Batman : The Animated Series and found a way to spin them in this ' 80s roadshow that 's full of action , but yet has all the comedic notes to it as they still try to save the day . '' The official trailer was first shown by Entertainment Weekly on May 25 , 2017 . Oliver Gettell , writing for Entertainment Weekly , wrote `` With its 48 Hrs. - style antics , Batman and Harley Quinn promises to take a more comedic tack than DC 's recent animated offerings , such as the controversial adaptation of The Killing Joke . '' However , due to the financial success of The Killing Joke , the film was released in theaters for one night only in the United States on August 14 , 2017 . The next week , a combo set with a Blu - ray copy , a DVD copy , and a digital copy will be released . This is Bruce Timm 's return to writing an animated DC Comics property since Justice League Unlimited concluded in 2006 . The film was released on digital on August 15 , 2017 and on DVD and Blu - ray on August 29 . The animation was outsourced to DR Movie in South Korea . Reception ( edit ) The film initially received mixed reviews from critics with many praising the animation , the voice performances of Conroy and Lester , and throwbacks to the animated series , but criticizing the script and Rauch 's performance as Harley Quinn . The film has a 50 % on Rotten Tomatoes with an average rating of 5.8 / 10 , based on 8 reviews . Overall , this film is not held in as high regard as previous DC animated features . Many claim this is due to a weak plot and its strange mix of adult themes and childish humor , a choice which confused viewers and upset fans of the original series .

Their enrollment was followed by the Little Rock Crisis , in which the students were initially prevented from entering the racially segregated school by Orval Faubus , the Governor of Arkansas . They then attended after the intervention of President Dwight D. Eisenhower . The U.S. Supreme Court issued its historic Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka , Kansas , 347 U.S. 483 , on May 17 , 1954 . Tied to the 14th Amendment , the decision declared all laws establishing segregated schools to be unconstitutional , and it called for the desegregation of all schools throughout the nation . After the decision , the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People ( NAACP ) attempted to register black students in previously all - white schools in cities throughout the South . In Little Rock , the capital city of Arkansas , the Little Rock School Board agreed to comply with the high court 's ruling . Virgil Blossom , the Superintendent of Schools , submitted a plan of gradual integration to the school board on May 24 , 1955 , which the board unanimously approved . The plan would be implemented during the fall of the 1957 school year , which would begin in September 1957 . By 1957 , the NAACP had registered nine black students to attend the previously all - white Little Rock Central High , selected on the criteria of excellent grades and attendance . Called the `` Little Rock Nine '' , they were Ernest Green ( b . 1941 ) , Elizabeth Eckford ( b . 1941 ) , Jefferson Thomas ( 1942 -- 2010 ) , Terrence Roberts ( b . 1941 ) , Carlotta Walls LaNier ( b . 1942 ) , Minnijean Brown ( b . 1941 ) , Gloria Ray Karlmark ( b . 1942 ) , Thelma Mothershed ( b . 1940 ) , and Melba Pattillo Beals ( b . 1941 ) . Ernest Green was the first African American to graduate from Central High School . Contents ( hide ) 1 The Blossom Plan 2 National Guard blockade 3 Armed escort 4 A tense year 5 `` The Lost Year '' 6 Motivations 7 Legacy 8 See also 9 Footnotes 10 References 10.1 Historiography 10.2 Primary sources 10.3 External links The Blossom plan One of the plans created during attempts to desegregate the schools of Little Rock was by school superintendent Virgil Blossom . The initial approach proposed substantial integration beginning quickly and extending to all grades within a matter of many years . This original proposal was scrapped and replaced with one that more closely met a set of minimum standards worked out in attorney Richard B. McCulloch 's brief . This finalized plan would start in September 1957 and would integrate one high school , Little Rock Central . The second phase of the plan would take place in 1960 and would open up a few junior high schools to a few black children . The final stage would involve limited desegregation of the city 's grade schools at an unspecified time , possibly as late as 1963 . This plan was met with varied reactions from the NAACP branch of Little Rock . Militant members like the Bateses opposed the plan on the grounds that it was `` vague , indefinite , slow - moving and indicative of an intent to stall further on public integration . '' Despite this view , the majority accepted the plan ; most felt that Blossom and the school board should have the chance to prove themselves , that the plan was reasonable , and that the white community would accept it . This view was short lived , however . Changes were made to the plan , the most detrimental being a new transfer system that would allow students to move out of the attendance zone to which they were assigned . The unaltered Blossom Plan had gerrymandered school districts to guarantee a black majority at Horace Mann High and a white majority at Hall High . This meant that , even though black students lived closer to Central , they would be placed in Horace Mann thus confirming the intention of the school board to limit the impact of desegregation . The altered plan gave white students the choice of not attending Horace Mann , but did n't give black students the option of attending Hall . This new Blossom Plan did not sit well with the NAACP and after failed negotiations with the school board ; the NAACP filed a lawsuit on February 8 , 1956 . This lawsuit , along with a number of other factors contributed to the Little Rock School Crisis of 1957 . National Guard blockade Main article : Arkansas National Guard and the integration of Central High School Several segregationist councils threatened to hold protests at Central High and physically block the black students from entering the school . Governor Orval Faubus deployed the Arkansas National Guard to support the segregationists on September 4 , 1957 . The sight of a line of soldiers blocking out the students made national headlines and polarized the nation . Regarding the accompanying crowd , one of the nine students , Elizabeth Eckford , recalled : They moved closer and closer ... Somebody started yelling ... I tried to see a friendly face somewhere in the crowd -- someone who maybe could help . I looked into the face of an old woman and it seemed a kind face , but when I looked at her again , she spat on me . On September 9 , the Little Rock School District issued a statement condemning the governor 's deployment of soldiers to the school , and called for a citywide prayer service on September 12 . Even President Dwight Eisenhower attempted to de-escalate the situation by summoning Faubus for a meeting , warning him not to defy the Supreme Court 's ruling . Armed escort Young U.S. Army paratrooper in battle gear outside Central High School , on the cover of Time magazine ( October 7 , 1957 ) Woodrow Wilson Mann , the mayor of Little Rock , asked President Eisenhower to send federal troops to enforce integration and protect the nine students . On September 24 , the President ordered the 101st Airborne Division of the United States Army -- without its black soldiers , who rejoined the division a month later -- to Little Rock and federalized the entire 10,000 - member Arkansas National Guard , taking it out of the hands of Faubus . A tense Year By the end of September 1957 , the nine were admitted to Little Rock Central High under the protection of the 101st Airborne Division ( and later the Arkansas National Guard ) , but they were still subjected to a year of physical and verbal abuse ( being spat on and called names ) by many of the white students . Melba Pattillo had acid thrown into her eyes and also recalled in her book , Warriors Do n't Cry , an incident in which a group of white girls trapped her in a stall in the girls ' washroom and attempted to burn her by dropping pieces of flaming paper on her from above . Another one of the students , Minnijean Brown , was verbally confronted and abused . She said I was one of the kids ' approved ' by the school officials . We were told we would have to take a lot and were warned not to fight back if anything happened . One girl ran up to me and said , ' I 'm so glad you 're here . Wo n't you go to lunch with me today ? ' I never saw her again . Minnijean Brown was also taunted by members of a group of white male students in December 1957 in the school cafeteria during lunch . She dropped her lunch , a bowl of chili , onto the boys and was suspended for six days . Two months later , after more confrontation , Brown was suspended for the rest of the school year . She transferred to New Lincoln High School in New York City . As depicted in the 1981 made - for - TV docudrama Crisis at Central High , and as mentioned by Melba Pattillo Beals in Warriors Do n't Cry , white students were punished only when their offense was `` both egregious and witnessed by an adult '' . The drama was based on a book by Elizabeth Huckaby , a vice-principal during the crisis . `` The Lost Year '' In the summer of 1958 , as the school year was drawing to a close , Faubus decided to petition the decision by the Federal District Court in order to postpone the desegregation of public high schools in Little Rock . In the Cooper v. Aaron case , the Little Rock School District , under the leadership of Orval Faubus , fought for a two and a half year delay on de-segregation , which would have meant that black students would only be permitted into public high schools in January 1961 . Faubus argued that if the schools remained integrated there would be an increase in violence . However , in August 1958 , the Federal Courts ruled against the delay of de-segregation , which incited Faubus to call together an Extraordinary Session of the State Legislature on August 26 in order to enact his segregation bills . Claiming that Little Rock had to assert their rights and freedom against the federal decision , in September 1958 , Faubus signed acts that enabled him and the Little Rock School District to close all public schools . Thus , with this bill signed , on Monday September 15 , Faubus ordered the closure of all four public high schools , preventing both black and white students from attending school . Despite Faubus 's decree , the town 's population had the chance of refuting the bill since the school - closing law necessitated a referendum . The referendum , which would either condone or condemn Faubus 's law , was to take place within thirty days . A week before the referendum , which was scheduled to take place on September 27 , Faubus addressed the citizens of Little Rock in an attempt to secure their votes . Faubus urged the population to vote against integration since he was planning on leasing the public school buildings to private schools , and , in doing so , would educate the white and black students separately . Faubus was successful in his appeal and won the referendum . This year came to be known as the `` Lost Year . '' Faubus 's victory led to a series of consequences that affected Little Rock society . Faubus 's intention to open private schools was denied the same day the referendum took place , which caused some citizens of Little Rock to turn on the black community . The black community became a target for hate crimes since people blamed them for the closing of the schools . Daisy Bates , head of the NAACP chapter in Little Rock , was a primary victim to these crimes , in addition to the black students enrolled at Little Rock Central High School and their families . The town 's teachers were also placed in a difficult position . They were forced to swear loyalty to Faubus 's bills . Even though Faubus 's idea of private schools never played out , the teachers were still expected to attend school every day and prepare for the possibility of their students ' return . The teachers were completely under Faubus 's control and the many months that the school stayed empty only served as a cause for uncertainty in their professional futures . In May 1959 , after the firing of forty - four teachers and administrative staff from the four high schools , three segregationist board members were replaced with three moderate ones . The new board members reinstated the forty - four staff members to their positions . The new board of directors then began an attempt to reopen the schools , much to Faubus 's dismay . In order to avoid any further complications , the public high schools were scheduled to open earlier than usual , on August 12 , 1959 . Although the Lost Year had come to a close , the black students who returned to the high schools were not welcomed by the other students . Rather , the black students had a difficult time getting past mobs to enter the school , and , once inside , they were often subject to physical and emotional abuse . The students were back at school and everything would eventually resume normal function , but the Lost Year would be a pretext for new hatred towards the black students in the public high school .

( August 2011 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Faubus 's opposition to desegregation was likely both politically and racially motivated . Although Faubus had indicated that he would consider bringing Arkansas into compliance with the high court 's decision in 1956 , desegregation was opposed by his own southern Democratic Party , which dominated all Southern politics at the time . Faubus risked losing political support in the upcoming 1958 Democratic gubernatorial primary if he showed support for integration . Most histories of the crisis conclude that Faubus , facing pressure as he campaigned for a third term , decided to appease racist elements in the state by calling out the National Guard to prevent the black students from entering Central High . Former associate justice of the Arkansas Supreme Court James D. Johnson claimed to have hoaxed Governor Faubus into calling out the National Guard , supposedly to prevent a white mob from stopping the integration of Little Rock Central High School : `` There was n't any caravan . But we made Orval believe it . We said . ' They 're lining up . They 're coming in droves . ' ... The only weapon we had was to leave the impression that the sky was going to fall . '' He later claimed that Faubus asked him to raise a mob to justify his actions . Harry Ashmore , the editor of the Arkansas Gazette , won a 1958 Pulitzer Prize for his editorials on the crisis . Ashmore portrayed the fight over Central High as a crisis manufactured by Faubus ; in his interpretation , Faubus used the Arkansas National Guard to keep black children out of Central High School because he was frustrated by the success his political opponents were having in using segregationist rhetoric to stir white voters . Congressman Brooks Hays , who tried to mediate between the federal government and Faubus , was later defeated by a last minute write - in candidate , Dale Alford , a member of the Little Rock School Board who had the backing of Faubus 's allies . A few years later , despite the incident with the `` Little Rock Nine '' , Faubus ran as a moderate segregationist against Dale Alford , who was challenging Faubus for the Democratic nomination for governor in 1962 . Little Rock Nine Memorial Memorial closeup of Eckford Legacy External video Booknotes interview with Melba Patillo Beals on Warriors Do n't Cry , November 27 , 1994 , C - SPAN A commemorative silver dollar Memorial at Arkansas State Capitol Three members of the `` Little Rock Nine '' ( L-R ) Ernest Green , Carlotta Walls LaNier , and Terrence Roberts - stand together on the steps of the LBJ Presidential Library in 2014 Little Rock Central High School still functions as part of the Little Rock School District , and is now a National Historic Site that houses a Civil Rights Museum , administered in partnership with the National Park Service , to commemorate the events of 1957 . The Daisy Bates House , home to Daisy Bates , then the president of the Arkansas NAACP and a focal point for the students , was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2001 for its role in the episode . In 1958 , Cuban poet Nicolás Guillén published `` Little Rock '' , a bilingual composition in English and Spanish denouncing the racial segregation in the United States . Melba Pattillo Beals wrote a memoir titled Warriors Do n't Cry , published in the mid-1990s . Two made - for - television movies have depicted the events of the crisis : the 1981 CBS movie Crisis at Central High , and the 1993 Disney Channel movie The Ernest Green Story . In 1996 , seven of the Little Rock Nine appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show . They came face to face with a few of the white students who had tormented them as well as one student who had befriended them . President Bill Clinton honored the Little Rock Nine in November 1999 when he presented them each with a Congressional Gold Medal . The medal is the highest civilian award bestowed by Congress . It is given to those who have provided outstanding service to the country . To receive the Congressional Gold Medal , recipients must be co-sponsored by two - thirds of both the House and Senate . In 2007 , the United States Mint made available a commemorative silver dollar to `` recognize and pay tribute to the strength , the determination and the courage displayed by African - American high school students in the fall of 1957 . '' The obverse depicts students accompanied by a soldier , with nine stars symbolizing the Little Rock Nine . The reverse depicts an image of Little Rock Central High School , c. 1957 . Proceeds from the coin sales are to be used to improve the National Historic Site . On December 9 , 2008 , the Little Rock Nine were invited to attend the inauguration of President - elect Barack Obama , the first African - American to be elected President of the United States . On February 9 , 2010 , Marquette University honored the group by presenting them with the Père Marquette Discovery Award , the university 's highest honor , one that had previously been given to Mother Teresa , Archbishop Desmond Tutu , Karl Rahner , and the Apollo 11 astronauts , among other notables .

In the 16th century , Muslims from North Africa , the Middle East and Central Asia were present in London , working in a range of roles , from diplomats and translators to merchants and musicians . See Islam in England for more information on Muslims in England prior to the United Kingdom 's founding in 1707 . Bengal ( now Bangladesh and West Bengal ) , an affluent province of Mughal India with a Muslim majority and Hindu minority , and globally dominant in industries such as textile manufacturing and shipbuilding , was conquered by the British East India Company at the Battle of Plassey in 1757 . The plunder of Bengal directly contributed to the Industrial Revolution in Britain , with the capital amassed from Bengal used to invest in British industries such as textile manufacture during the Industrial Revolution and greatly increase British wealth , while at the same time leading to deindustrialization and famines in Bengal . With the establishment of British India , the British Empire ruled over a large Muslim population . The first group of Muslims to come to the UK in significant numbers , in the 18th century , were lascars ( sailors ) recruited from the Indian subcontinent , largely from the Bengal region , to work for the East India Company on British ships , some of whom settled down and took local wives . Due to the majority being lascars , the earliest Muslim communities were found in port towns . Naval cooks also came , many of them from the Sylhet Division of the Bengal Presidency in British India ( now in Bangladesh ) . One of the most famous early Asian immigrants to England was the Bengali Muslim entrepreneur Sake Dean Mahomet , a captain of the East India Company who in 1810 founded London 's first Indian restaurant , the Hindoostanee Coffee House . He is also reputed for introducing shampoo and therapeutic massage to the United Kingdom . Between 1803 and 1813 , there were more than 10,000 lascars from the Indian subcontinent visiting British port cities and towns . By 1842 , 3,000 lascars visited the UK annually , and by 1855 , 12,000 lascars were arriving annually in British ports . In 1873 , 3,271 lascars arrived in Britain . Throughout the early 19th century lascars visited Britain at a rate of 1,000 every year , which increased to a rate of 10,000 to 12,000 every year throughout the late 19th century . At the beginning World War I , there were 51,616 South Asian lascars working on British ships , the majority of whom were of Bengali descent . In 1932 , the Indian National Congress survey of ' all Indians outside India ' ( which included modern Pakistani and Bangladeshi territories ) estimated that there were 7,128 Indians living in the United Kingdom . By 1911 , the British Empire had a Muslim population of 94 million , larger than the empire 's 58 million Christian population . By the 1920s , the British Empire included roughly half of the world 's Muslim population . More than 400,000 Muslim soldiers of the British Indian Army fought for Britain during World War I , where 62,060 were killed in action , and half a million Muslim soldiers of the British Indian Army fought for Britain against the Nazis in World War II . David Lloyd George , Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1916 to 1922 , stated : `` we are the greatest Mahomedan power in the world and one - fourth of the population of the British Empire is Mahomedan . There have been no more loyal adherents to the throne and no more effective and loyal supporters of the Empire in its hour of trial . '' This statement was later reiterated by Gandhi in 1920 . The Shah Jahan Mosque in Woking was the first purpose - built mosque , built in 1889 . In the same year Abdullah Quilliam installed a mosque in a terrace in Liverpool , which became the Liverpool Muslim Institute . The first mosque in London was the Fazl Mosque established in 1924 , commonly called the London mosque . The growing number of Muslims resulted in the establishment of more than 1,500 mosques by 2007 . Muslim mass immigration to Britain began after World War II , as a result of the destruction and labour shortages caused by the war . Muslim migrants from former British colonies , predominantly India , Pakistan , and Bangladesh , were recruited in large numbers by government and businesses to rebuild the country . Large numbers of doctors recruited from India and Pakistan , encouraged by health minister Enoch Powell in the early 1960s , also played a key role in the establishment of the NHS health service . British Asian Muslims faced discrimination and racism following Enoch Powell 's Rivers of Blood speech and the establishment of the National Front in the late 1960s . This included overt racism in the form of Paki bashing , predominantly from white power skinheads , the National Front , and the British National Party , throughout the 1970s and 1980s . Drawing inspiration from the Indian independence movement , the black power movement , and the anti-apartheid movement , young British Pakistani and British Bangladeshi activists began a number of anti-racist Asian youth movements in the 1970s and 1980s , including the Bradford Youth Movement in 1977 , the Bangladeshi Youth Movement following the murder of Altab Ali in 1978 , and the Newham Youth Movement following the murder of Akhtar Ali Baig in 1980 . The publication of Salman Rushdie 's novel The Satanic Verses in 1988 caused major controversy . A number of Muslims in Britain condemned the book for blasphemy . On 2 December 1988 , the book was publicly burned at a demonstration in Bolton attended by 7,000 Muslims , followed by a similar demonstration and book - burning in Bradford on 14 January 1989 . Demographics ( edit ) Muslim population of England and Wales Year Pop . ± % 1961 50,000 -- 1971 226,000 + 352.0 % 1981 553,000 + 144.7 % 1991 950,000 + 71.8 % 2001 1,600,000 + 68.4 % 2011 2,706,066 + 69.1 % 2014 3,046,607 + 12.6 % The Muslim population of England and Wales has grown consistently since World War II . Sophie Gilliat - Ray attributes the recent growth to `` recent immigration , the growing birth rate , some conversion to Islam , and perhaps also an increased willingness to self - identify as ' Muslim ' on account of the ' war on terror ' . '' Census Year Number of Muslims Population of England and Wales Muslim ( % of population ) Registered mosques Muslims per mosque 1961 50,000 46,196,000 0.11 7 7,143 1971 226,000 49,152,000 0.46 30 7,533 1981 553,000 49,634,000 1.11 149 3,711 1991 950,000 51,099,000 1.86 443 2,144 2001 1,600,000 52,042,000 3.07 614 2,606 2011 2,706,000 56,076,000 4.83 1,500 1,912 2014 ( estimate ) 3,047,000 -- 5.4 1,750 ( 2015 ) 1,741 The settlements with large number of Muslims are Bradford , Luton , Blackburn , Birmingham , London and Dewsbury . There are also high numbers in High Wycombe , Slough , Leicester , Derby , Manchester , Leeds and the mill towns of Northern England . There are also relatively large concentrations in the Scottish cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh . Muslim population in English local authority areas , 2011 0.0 % -- 0.9 % 1 % -- 1.9 % 2 % -- 4.9 % 5 % -- 9.9 % 10 % -- 19.9 % 20 % and more Ethnic composition of British Muslims ( 2011 Census ) The top 20 local authorities in England and Wales with the highest percent of Muslims in 2011 were : London Borough of Tower Hamlets 34.5 % 87,696 London Borough of Newham 32.0 % 98,456 Blackburn with Darwen 27.4 % 38,817 City of Bradford 24.7 % 129,041 Luton 24.6 % 49,991 London Borough of Redbridge 23.3 % 64,999 Slough 23.3 % 32,655 London Borough of Waltham Forest 21.9 % 56,541 Birmingham 21.8 % 234,411 Leicester 18.6 % 61,440 London Borough of Brent 18.6 % 58,036 City of Westminster 18.3 % 40,073 Metropolitan Borough of Oldham 17.7 % 39,879 Pendle 17.4 % 15,579 London Borough of Enfield 16.7 % 52,141 Manchester 15.8 % 79,496 London Borough of Ealing 15.7 % 53,198 Kirklees 14.5 % 61,280 London Central Mosque interior London Borough of Haringey 14.2 % 36,130 London Borough of Hackney 14.1 % 34,727 Several large cities have one area that is a majority Muslim even if the rest of the city has a fairly small Muslim population . In addition , it is possible to find small areas that are almost entirely Muslim : for example , Savile Town in Dewsbury . In 2015 Muhammad was the most commonly given name for baby boys in England and Wales , if variant spellings are considered . Anwar Choudhury has been UK Ambassador to Peru and Bangladesh . The East London Mosque was one of the first in Britain to be allowed to use loudspeakers to broadcast the adhan . Initial limited mosque availability meant that prayers were conducted in small rooms of council flats until the 1980s when more and larger facilities became available . Some synagogues and community buildings were turned into mosques and existing mosques began to expand their buildings . This process has continued down to the present day with the East London Mosque recently expanding into a large former car park where the London Muslim Centre is now used for prayers , recreational facilities and housing . Most people regard themselves as part of the ummah , and their identity is based on their religion rather than their ethnic group . Cultural aspects of a ' Bengali Islam ' are seen as superstition and as un-Islamic . The 2001 census recorded that there were 179,733 Muslims who described themselves as ' white '. 65 % of white Muslims described themselves as `` other white '' , and would likely have originated from locations such as Bosnia and Herzegovina , Kosovo , Adygea , Chechnya , Albania , Turkey , Bulgaria , the region of East Macedonia and Thrace in Northern Greece , and the Republic of Macedonia . The remainder of white Muslims are converts and mostly identified themselves as White British and White Irish . Islam is the third - largest religious group of British Indian people , after Hinduism and Sikhism. 8 % of UK Muslims are of Indian descent , principally those whose origins are in Gujarat , West Bengal , Telangana and Kerala . Gujarati Muslims from the Surat and Bharuch districts started to arrive from the 1940s when India was under British colonial rule , settling in the towns of Dewsbury and Batley in Yorkshire and in parts of Lancashire . Pakistanis ( edit ) The single largest group of Muslims in the United Kingdom are of Pakistani descent . Pakistanis from Mirpur District were one of the first South Asian Muslim communities to permanently settle in the United Kingdom , arriving in Birmingham and Bradford in the late 1940s . Immigration from Mirpur grew from the late 1950s , accompanied by immigration from other parts of Pakistan especially from Punjab , particularly from the surrounding villages of Faisalabad , Sahiwal , Sialkot , Jhelum , Gujar Khan and Gujrat , in addition to from the north - west Punjab including the chhachhi Pathans and Pashtuns from Attock District , and some from villages of Ghazi , Nowshera and Peshwar . There is also a fairly large Punjabi community from East Africa found in London . People of Pakistani extraction are particularly notable in West Midlands ( Birmingham ) , West Yorkshire ( Bradford ) , London ( Waltham Forest , Newham and Redbridge ) , Lancashire / Greater Manchester , East Midlands / Nottingham and several industrial towns such as Luton , Slough , High Wycombe and Oxford . Bangladeshis ( edit ) British Bangladeshi community in London People of Bangladeshi descent are the second largest Muslim community ( after Pakistanis ) , 15 % of Muslims in England and Wales are of Bangladeshi descent , one of the ethnic groups in the UK with the largest proportion of people following a single religion , being 92 % Muslim . The majority of these Muslims come from the Sylhet region of Bangladesh , mainly concentrated in London ( Tower Hamlets and Newham ) , Luton , Birmingham and Oldham . The Bangladeshi Muslim community in London forms 24 % of the Muslim population , larger than any other ethnic group . There are groups which are active throughout Bangladeshi communities such as The Young Muslim Organization . It is connected to the Islamic Forum Europe , associated with the East London Mosque and the London Muslim Centre -- all of which have connections with the Bangladesh Islamic party , the Jamaat - e-Islami . Other groups also attract a few people , the Hizb ut - Tahrir -- which calls for the Khilafah ( caliphate ) and influences by publishing annual magazines , and lectures through mainly political concepts , and the other which is a movement within Sunni Islam is the Salafi -- who view the teachings of the first generations as the correct one , and appeals to younger Muslims as a way to differentiate themselves towards their elders . Other large groups include another Sunni movement , the Barelwi -- mainly of a Fultoli movement ( led by Abdul Latif Chowdhury in Bangladesh ) , and the Tablighi Jamaat -- which is a missionary and revival movement , and avoids political attention . All these groups work to stimulate Islamic identity among local Bengalis or Muslims and particularly focus on the younger members of the communities . Somalis ( edit ) Somali women at a Somali community gathering event in London The United Kingdom , with 43,532 Somalia - born residents in 2001 , and an estimated 101,000 in 2008 , is home to the largest Somali community in Europe . A 2009 estimate by Somali community organisations puts the Somali population figure at 90,000 residents . The first Somali immigrants were seamen and traders who arrived in small numbers in port cities in the late 19th century , although most Somalis in the UK are recent arrivals . Established Somali communities are found in Bristol , Cardiff , Liverpool and London , and newer ones have formed in Leicester , Manchester and Sheffield . Gujaratis ( edit ) There are large numbers of Gujarati Muslims in Dewsbury , Blackburn ( including Darwen ) , Bolton , Preston , Nottingham , Leicester , Nuneaton , Gloucester and London ( Newham , Waltham Forest and Hackney ) . Turks ( edit ) Turks first began to emigrate in large numbers from the island of Cyprus for work and then again when Turkish Cypriots were forced to leave their homes during the Cyprus conflict . Turks then began to come from Turkey for economic reasons . Recently , smaller groups of Turks have begun to immigrate to the United Kingdom from other European countries . In 2011 , there was a total of about 500,000 people of Turkish origin in the UK , made up of approximately 150,000 Turkish nationals and about 300,000 Turkish Cypriots . Furthermore , in recent years , there has been a growing number of ethnic Turks with German , or Dutch citizenship immigrating to Britain . Turkish - speaking Muslims have also come to Britain from parts of the Balkans where they make up a large , indigenous ethnic and religious minority dating to the period of Ottoman rule , particularly Bulgaria , the province of East Macedonia and Thrace in Northern Greece , the Republic of Macedonia , and Romania . Although some of these Balkan Turks , like the Pomaks of southern Bulgaria and Northern Greece , are actually the descendants of Ottoman - era converts to Islam , and are therefore sometimes defined as ( e.g. ) Bulgarian Muslims and Greek Muslims ; the vast majority are the descendants of Turkish settlers dating to the early Ottoman period . Even many of those of non-Turkish origin have adopted the Turkish language and identity , through a combination of educational links with Turkey , intermarriage with Turkish Muslims , and assimilation into mainstream Turkish culture . The majority of Turks live in the greater London area . Arabs ( edit ) Aside from North African Arabs , often referred to as Maghrebis ( mentioned below ) , people of Arab origin in Britain are the descendants of Arab immigrants to Britain from a variety of Arab states , including Yemen , Syria , Iraq , Lebanon , Jordan and Palestine . Most British Arabs are Sunni Muslim , although some -- such as those of southern Iraqi and southern Lebanese origin -- are Shi'ite . A smaller number belong to one of the Eastern Christian denominations , such as Coptic Orthodox Egyptians and Maronite or Syrian Orthodox Arabs from the Levant . The main Arab Muslim communities in the UK live in the Greater London area , with smaller numbers living in Manchester , Liverpool , and Birmingham . There are also sizable and very long - established communities of Muslim Yemenis in the United Kingdom in among other places Cardiff and the South Shields area near Newcastle . North African both Berbers & Arabs from the Maghreb ( English : western ) Although data is scarce , Maghrebis make up a substantial community in Europe and the United Kingdom . Britain has far fewer of Maghrebis than France , The Netherlands or Spain , where the majority of Muslims are Maghrebi . Nigerians ( edit ) A 2009 government paper estimated the Nigerian Muslim community as 12,000 to 14,000 . The community is concentrated in London . Nigerian Muslims in the UK are represented by several community organizations including the Nigeria Muslim Forum .

A September 2017 survey by the Institute for Jewish Policy Research ( JPR ) found that among British Muslims , 77 % were Sunni , 5 % were Shia , 1 % were Ahmadiyya , and 4 % were members of other denominations . 14 % of British Muslims said they did n't know or refused to answer the survey . Sunni ( edit ) In 2015 , The Economist stated that were 2.3 million Sunnis in the UK . Among British Sunnis in 2017 , 66.7 % were just non-denominational Sunni , 5.9 % were Barelvi , 5.0 % were Salafist , 4.1 % were Deobandi , and 18.3 % adhered to another other Sunni Islam . The majority of British mosques are Sunni , including Deobandi , Barelvis and Salafi . In 2010 the affiliation of the mosques was : 44.6 % Deobandi , 28.2 % Barelvi and other Sufi , 5.8 % Salafi , 2.8 % Maudoodi - inspired ; of the remainder many were part of other Sunni traditions or unaffiliated , while 4.2 % were Shi'a ( 4 % ) . The majority of mosque managers are of Pakistani and Bangladeshi origin , with many Gujarati , and fewer Arab , Turkish and Somali managed entities . Shia ( edit ) In 2015 , The Economist stated that were 400,000 Shias in the UK . Shia mosques are usually Twelvers but also cater for Zaydis and the 50,000 - strong Ismaili community ; they usually include facilities for women . Various Shia mosques include the Husseini Islamic Centre in Stanmore , Harrow which acts as one of the main Shia Muslim mosques in Britain . Others include Al Masjid ul Husseini in Northolt , Ealing , and Imam Khoei Islamic Centre in Queens Park , Brent . Ahmadiyya ( edit ) Main article : Ahmadiyya in the United Kingdom The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community ( AMC ) established itself in the UK in 1912 and is thus the longest standing Muslim community in the UK . The UK and worldwide headquarters of the AMC are currently situated on the grounds of ' The London Mosque ' ( Masjid Fazl ) , London 's first Mosque ( 1926 ) , in the Southfields area of South - West London . The AMC also has the largest Muslim youth organisation , the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association ( Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya ) in the UK ( membership of 7,500 ) and the largest Muslim women 's organisation , the Ahmadiyya Muslim Women 's Association ( Lajna Imaila ) , in the UK ( membership of 10,000 ) . Associations ( edit ) The Islamic Forum of Europe , headquartered at the East London Mosque with affiliates in Europe . Ahmadiyya Muslim Association Association of British Muslims , the oldest organisation of British Muslims , created in 1889 as the English Islamic Association by Abdullah Quilliam . Association of Muslim Lawyers British Muslim Forum Civil Service Islamic Society Dawatul Islam Islamic Forum of Europe Islamic Party of Britain Islamic Society of Britain Minhaj - ul - Quran UK Mosques & Imams National Advisory Board Muslim Association of Britain Muslim Council of Britain Muslim Educational Trust Muslim Parliament of Great Britain Muslim Public Affairs Committee UK Muslim Safety Forum Sufi Muslim Council The Young Muslims UK UK Islamic Mission World Islamic Mission Young Muslim Organisation Position in Society ( edit ) Poverty ( edit ) According to analysis based on the 2011 census , Muslims in the United Kingdom face poor standards of housing , poorer levels of education and are more vulnerable to long - term illness , and that Muslims in the UK had the highest rate of unemployment , the poorest health , the most disability and fewest educational qualifications among religious groups . The figures were , to some extent , explained by the fact that Muslims were the least well - established group , having the youngest age profile . Conversely , it was estimated in 2008 that there were approximately 10,000 Muslim millionaires in the UK . There are 13,400 Muslim - owned businesses in London , creating more than 70,000 jobs and representing just over 33 per cent of Small to Medium Enterprises in London . Education ( edit ) In 2011 , 24.0 per cent of British Muslims had degree level qualifications , compared to 27.2 per cent of the population as a whole . 25.6 per cent of Muslims had no qualifications , compared to the national average of 22.7 per cent . In 2006 , it was found that approximately 53 % of British Muslim youth chose to attend university . This was higher than the figure for Christians ( 45 % ) and the non-religious ( 32 % ) but lower than for Hindus ( 77 % ) and Sikhs ( 63 % ) . There are around 140 Muslim faith schools in the UK , twelve of them being state - funded . In 2008 , 86.5 % of pupils attending Muslim schools achieved five GCSEs , compared to a figure of 72.8 % of Roman Catholic schools and 64.5 % of secular schools . In 2016 , Tauheedul Islam Girls ' High School in Blackburn with Darwen was ranked first in the Government 's new Progress 8 league table , with Tauheedul Islam Boys ' High School coming in second place . Islamic scholars and leaders ( edit ) Several notable Muslim religious leaders and scholars are based in the UK , including : Allama Qamaruzzaman Azmi , Leader of World Islamic Mission Muhammad Imdad Hussain Pirzada of Muslim Charity and Jamia Al - Karam Shaykh Muhammad al - Ya'qoubi of Al - Mustafa Centre Waqar Azmi OBE , EU Ambassador of Intercultural Dialogue Muhammad Arshad Misbahi Imam of Manchester Central Mosque Sheikh Abdul Qayum , Chief Imam of East London Mosque Muhammad Abdul Bari , secretary of Muslim Aid Abu Yusuf Riyadh ul Haq , khateeb of Birmingham Central Mosque Dr. Mahmudul Hasan , khateeb of Essex Mosque Abdur Rahman Madani television presenter and Chief Imam of Darul Ummah Mosque Faiz - ul - Aqtab Siddiqi , principal of Hijaz College Ajmal Masroor , imam and politician Dr. Timothy Winter , Dean of Cambridge Muslim College and Director of Studies at Cambridge University Mirza Masroor Ahmad , fifth Caliph of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community . Politics ( edit ) Sadiq Khan was elected Mayor of London in 2016 , making him the first Muslim mayor of a major capital city in the Western world . Pola Uddin , Baroness Uddin was the first Muslim female to sit in the Parliament of the United Kingdom . Muslims are playing an increasingly prominent role in political life . Fifteen Muslim MPs were elected in the June 2017 general election , and there are twelve Muslim peers in the House of Lords ( there have historically been about fourteen , starting with Lord Stanley , a peer that lived in the 19th century ) . The majority of British Muslims vote for the Labour Party , however there are some high - profile Conservative Muslims , including former Minister for Faith and Communities and former Co-Chairman of the Conservative Party Sayeeda Warsi and Economic Secretary to the Treasury Sajid Javid , described by The Guardian as a ' rising star ' in the Tory party . The Guardian stated that `` The treasury minister is highly regarded on the right and would be the Tories ' first Muslim leader . '' Salma Yaqoob is the former leader of the left - wing Respect Party . Sayeeda Warsi , who was the first Muslim to serve in a British cabinet , was appointed by David Cameron in 2010 as a minister without portfolio . She was made a senior minister of state in 2012 . In August 2014 she resigned over the government 's approach to the 2014 Israel - Gaza conflict . Muslim political parties in Britain have included the People 's Justice Party ( UK ) , a Pakistani and Kashmiri party that won city council seats in Manchester in the 2000s , and the unsuccessful Islamic Party of Britain , an Islamist party in Bradford in the 1990s . Media ( edit ) See also : List of Islamic television and radio stations in the United Kingdom British Muslims are well represented in various media positions across different organisations . Notable examples include Mehdi Hasan , the political editor of the UK version of The Huffington Post and the presenter of Al Jazeera English shows The Café and Head to Head , Mishal Husain , a British news presenter for the BBC , currently appearing on BBC World News and BBC Weekend News , Rageh Omaar , special correspondent with ITV and formerly Senior Foreign Correspondent with the BBC and a reporter / presenter for Al Jazeera English , and Faisal Islam , economics editor and correspondent for Channel 4 News . There are several Islamic television channels operating in the UK , including British Muslim TV , Muslim Television Ahmadiyya International ( MTA International ) , Ummah Channel , Ahlebait TV , and Fadak . Identity ( edit ) According to one survey from 2006 , around 81 % of Muslims think of themselves as Muslim first . Muslims living in Muslim - majority countries also tend to think of themselves as Muslim first rather than identifying with nation states ( for example 87 % of Pakistanis identify themselves as Muslim first rather than Pakistani ) . However around 83 % of Muslims are proud to be a British citizen , compared to 79 % of the general public , 77 % of Muslims strongly identify with Britain while only 50 % of the wider population do , 86.4 % of Muslims feel they belong in Britain , slightly more than the 85.9 % of Christians , 82 % of Muslims want to live in diverse and mixed neighbourhoods compared to 63 % of non-Muslim Britons . In polls taken across Europe 2006 , British Muslims hold the most negative view of westerners out of all Muslims in Europe , whilst overall in Britain 63 % of British hold the most favourable view of Muslims out of all the European countries ( down from 67 % the year before ) . On religious issues a poll reported that 36 % of 16 - to 24 - year - olds believe if a Muslim converts to another religion they should be punished by death , compared to 19 % of 55 + year old Muslims . A poll reported that 59 % of Muslims would prefer to live under British law , compared to 28 % who would prefer to live under sharia law . 61 % of respondents agreed with the statement that homosexuality is wrong and should be illegal . This appeared to be borne out by a Gallup poll in 2009 of 500 British Muslims , none of whom believed that homosexuality was morally acceptable . Such polls suggest that British Muslims have strongly conservative views on issues relating to extra-marital and / or homosexual sexual acts compared with their European Muslim counterparts -- who are markedly more liberal . However , a poll conducted by Demos in 2011 reported that a greater proportion of Muslims ( 47 % -- slightly higher than the 46.5 % of Christians who agreed with the statement ) than other religions agreed with the statement `` I am proud of how Britain treats gay people '' , with less than 11 % disagreeing . On 18 May 2013 , just as the bill to legalize same - sex marriages was being prepared to pass into law , over 400 leading Muslims including head teachers and senior representatives of mosques across the country , published an open letter opposing the bill on the grounds that `` Muslim parents will be robbed of their right to raise their children according to their beliefs , as homosexual relationships are taught as something normal to their primary - aged children '' . A recent 2016 poll has shown an increasing accepts of homosexuality from 61 to 52 A 2013 survey indicated that immigrants from Muslim countries were perceived as integrating less well into British society than immigrants from other countries were . Another poll revealed that 28 % of British Muslims hoped that Britain would one day become an Islamic state , while 52 % disagreed , and 20 % did not venture an opinion either way . Sharia ( edit ) Main article : Sharia Although sharia is not part of the British legal system , several British establishment figures have supported its use in areas of dispute resolution in Islamic communities . For example , in February 2008 Rowan Williams the Archbishop of Canterbury ( the head of the Church of England ) lectured at the Royal Courts of Justice on Islam and English Law . In this lecture he spoke of the possibility of using sharia in some circumstances . ( ... ) it might be possible to think in terms of ( ... ) a scheme in which individuals retain the liberty to choose the jurisdiction under which they will seek to resolve certain carefully specified matters , so that ' power - holders are forced to compete for the loyalty of their shared constituents ' Several months later , Lord Phillips , then Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales supported the idea that sharia could be reasonably employed as a basis for `` mediation or other forms of alternative dispute resolution '' , and explained that `` It is not very radical to advocate embracing sharia law in the context of family disputes , for example , and our system already goes a long way towards accommodating the archbishop 's suggestion . '' In March 2014 , The Law Society issued guidance on how to draft sharia - compliant wills for the network of sharia courts which been established to deal with disputes between Muslim families . The guidance was withdrawn later in 2014 following criticism by solicitors and by Chris Grayling , the Justice Secretary . During recent years sharia councils have been used increasingly in the UK and there are claims some of them act unfairly to women including legitimizing forced marriages and issuing discriminatory divorces to women . There are claims that some women were victims of inequitable decisions . In 2016 , the Home Secretary Theresa May said `` There is only one rule of law in our country , which provides rights and security for every citizen . '' An independent review due to be completed in 2017 will investigate whether Sharia discriminates against women , also `` whether , and to what extent , the application of Sharia law may be incompatible with the law in England and Wales '' . Extremist ideology ( edit ) In June 2017 , Jeremy Corbyn , leader of the Labour Party , said that difficult conversations are needed , starting with Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states that have funded and fuelled extremist ideology . Tom Brake , Liberal Democrat , foreign affairs spokesman has said that Saudi Arabia provides funding to hundreds of mosques in the UK , espousing a very hardline Wahhabist interpretation of Islam . Henry Jackson Society report ( edit ) In July 2017 , a report by the Henry Jackson Society , which was commissioned by the UK government , said that Middle Eastern nations are providing financial support to mosques and Islamic educational institutions , which have been linked to the spread of extremist material with `` an illiberal , bigoted Wahhabi ideology '' . The report said that the number of Salafi and Wahhabi mosques in Britain had increased from 68 in 2007 to 110 in 2014 . Controversy ( edit ) The British media has been criticised for propagating negative stereotypes of Muslims and fueling anti-Muslim prejudice . In 2006 , British cabinet ministers were criticised for helping to `` unleash a public anti-Muslim backlash '' by blaming the Muslim community over issues of integration despite a study commissioned by the Home Office on white and Asian - Muslim youths demonstrating otherwise : that Asian - Muslim youths `` are in fact the most tolerant of all '' and that white British youths `` have far more intolerant attitudes , '' concluding that intolerance from the white British community was a greater `` barrier to integration . '' Another survey by Gallup in 2009 also found that the Muslim community feels more patriotic about Britain than the general British population , while another survey found that Muslims assert that they support the role of Christianity in British life more so than Christians themselves . A survey by ICM Research found that 52 % of the Muslims said they believe homosexuality should be illegal which contrasted with the non-Muslim public at 22 % . In January 2010 , the British Social Attitudes Survey found that the general British public `` is far more likely to hold negative views of Muslims than of any other religious group , '' with `` just one in four '' feeling `` positively about Islam , '' and a `` majority of the country would be concerned if a mosque was built in their area , while only 15 per cent expressed similar qualms about the opening of a church . '' The `` scapegoating '' of Muslims by the media and politicians in the 21st century has been compared in the media to the rise of antisemitism in the early 20th century . There has also been discrimination by orthodox Sunni Muslims against Ahmadiyya Muslims . In 2014 , on the 125 anniversary of the establishment of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community , the Community published an advertisement in the Luton on Sunday . Following a written complaint from Dr Fiaz Hussain , co-ordinator of the Preservation of Finality of Prophethood Forum ( PFPF ) , stating that the Ahmadiyya community should not be called `` Muslim '' because it rejected some of the basic principles of Islam , the paper received a delegation of ' Community Leaders ' and shortly afterwards printed an apology disassociating itself from the Ahmadiyya advertisement . Tell MAMA responded by identifying attempts to intimidate or discriminate against Ahmadiyya Muslims `` as anti-Muslim in nature '' . The newspaper received a lot of criticism for this apology , to some oberservers it appeared that it had taken the stance of Islamic extremists . Islamophobia ( edit ) Main article : Islamophobia in the United Kingdom There have been cases of threats , one alleged fatal attack , and non-fatal attacks on Muslims and on Muslim targets , including attacks on Muslim graves and mosques . In January 2010 , a report from the University of Exeter 's European Muslim Research Centre noted that the number of anti-Muslim hate crimes has increased , ranging from `` death threats and murder to persistent low - level assaults , such as spitting and name - calling , '' for which the media and politicians have been blamed with fueling anti-Muslim hatred . However , Met Police figures showed an 8.5 per cent fall in anti-Muslim crimes between 2009 and 2012 , with a spike in 2013 due to the murder of Lee Rigby . Organisations ( edit ) Main article : English Defence League The emergence of the English Defence League has resulted in demonstrations in English cities with large Muslim populations . The EDL is a far - right , anti-Muslim street protest movement which opposes what it considers to be a spread of Islamism , Sharia law and Islamic extremism in the United Kingdom . The EDL has been described by The Jewish Chronicle as Islamophobic . The group has faced confrontations with various groups , including supporters of Unite Against Fascism ( UAF ) and Anonymous .

Lance Sweets
Lance Sweets - wikipedia Lance Sweets Jump to : navigation , search Dr. Lance Sweets Bones character First appearance October 23 , 2007 ( 3x04 , `` The Secret in the Soil '' ) Last appearance September 25 , 2014 ( 10x01 , `` The Conspiracy in the Corpse '' ) Created by Hart Hanson Portrayed by John Francis Daley Other appearances The Finder Information Nickname ( s ) Sweets , Lancelot , Baby Duck , Baby Boy Shrink Occupation FBI Psychologist Title Doctor ( PsyD and PhD ) Family Mr. Finley ( adoptive father ; deceased ) Mrs. Finley ( adoptive mother ; deceased ) Spouse ( s ) Daisy Wick ( fiancée ) Children Seeley Lance Wick Sweets ( son ) Lance Sweets , Ph. D. , Psy. D. , is a fictional character in the American television series Bones . He was portrayed by John Francis Daley . Daley first made three guest appearances as Sweets during the first eight episodes of Season 3 , first appearing in `` The Secret in the Soil '' . He was promoted to a series regular and appeared in the opening credits beginning with the episode `` The Santa in the Slush '' . He also guest - starred on the spin - off The Finder . The character is killed off in the first episode of the show 's tenth season , `` The Conspiracy in the Corpse '' , making him the first main character of Bones to die . Contents ( hide ) 1 Background 2 Work 3 Relationships 3.1 Colleagues 3.1. 1 Seeley Booth 3.1. 2 Temperance Brennan 3.1. 3 Dr. Gordon Wyatt 3.2 Romances 3.2. 1 Daisy Wick 4 Characterization 5 Death 6 References Background ( edit ) Little is revealed about Sweets ' birth parents . In `` Double Trouble In The Panhandle '' , Sweets reveals that his birth mother was a psychic working in a circus in South Florida ; upon reaching the age of majority he attempted to track her down , but could gain no information from the insular circus community . Before being adopted he was in foster care . He lived in four foster homes by the time he was adopted at age six by the Finleys . He mentioned that he was beaten by a foster dad `` for sport '' and the whip scars are still visible on his back . His loving , but elderly , adoptive parents died shortly before Dr. Sweets began working with Booth and Brennan , leaving him without a family . Sweets ' relationship with his adoptive parents , however , left him with the belief that broken people can be saved by people with good hearts , inspiring him to become a psychologist . Most of this was uncovered by Dr. Gordon Wyatt in reading Sweets ' manuscript on Booth and Brennan 's working relationship , stating that works like his often reveal more about the writer than the subject matter . He correctly deduces that Sweets was adopted as a child and suffered some sort of abuse . Details about his life as a teenager are few ; but the episode `` Mayhem on a Cross '' reveals that he had been a fan of death metal as a teenager , which he still listens to after a bad day . Sweets is highly educated and intelligent despite his youth , holding two doctorates despite only being 22 years old when he made his first appearance in the show . He completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Toronto and has a master 's degree in Abnormal Psychology from Temple University and two doctorates ( Clinical Psychology and Behavioral Analysis ) from Columbia University and the University of Pennsylvania . To have reached this level of education , Sweets must have begun college at age 14 or 15 , attending for three years before obtaining his master 's degree in ( roughly one or two years ) and then his doctorates within three years . This has led some members of the team to doubt his degrees ' validity , and Sweets has admitted to Brennan that he earned money for graduate school by teaching psychological techniques to car salesmen -- a fact that he is not proud of . Sweets began seeing Brennan and Booth in `` The Secret in the Soil '' . Through Fox Online Special Features , it is implied Booth and Brennan continue to see Dr. Wyatt through `` The Soccer Mom and the Mini-Van '' before seeing Sweets solely . Initially , the pair do not regard Sweets seriously , Booth for his youth and Brennan for his profession . Over time , however , they recognize his skill in profiling and even develop a friendship with him , comforting him after his girlfriend April breaks up with him and later recognizing that Sweets wishes to continue studying them because he likes them . The relationship of Booth and Bones with Sweets continued to grow , and he developed a father / son relationship with Booth . He becomes closer to Booth and Brennan after a moment during `` Mayhem on a Cross '' when they share their traumatic pasts , eventually becoming a surrogate family and hiding their emotional bond with banter . Sweets has also started appearing more frequently in the field ; notably , undercover as Angela 's aspiring - fireman - husband - with - a-bad - back , to gain information on a suspect without a warrant . During his study of Booth and Brennan , Sweets began to write a book about them . In the episode `` Mayhem on a Cross '' , Dr. Sweets received a review by Dr. Gordon Wyatt of his book on the relationship between Booth and Brennan . Dr. Wyatt explained that he felt Sweets had misinterpreted the relationship between Booth and Brennan by looking on a somewhat superficial level . The work primarily focused how Booth and Brennan are opposites and that their sexual attraction is limited because their primary responsibility is to their careers . Dr. Wyatt explains he feels Booth and Brennan are much more similar than Sweets understands and that one of the two is , in fact , aware of the underlying sexual tension between them and struggles with it daily . After learning about Booth and Brennan 's backgrounds , he concludes that Sweets ' `` near obsession '' with them and writing the book was a way of finding his place in the world and that he has created his emotional connection with them as a way of finding a family , something Brennan compares to `` imprinting '' like a baby duck . It is revealed in `` The Dwarf in the Dirt '' that Sweets has not published his book , because he fears how Booth and Brennan would respond to the book 's conclusion that they are in love with each other . He asks Wyatt , now a chef , if he has the right to publish his book when Booth and Brennan ca n't even admit to themselves that they 're in love , but Wyatt tells him he left psychiatry so he would n't have to deal with a dilemma like that . Work ( edit ) It is not known when Sweets officially joined the FBI or what his previous occupation , if any , was prior to joining the Bureau . He did mention that he was an intern at a mental health facility in Philadelphia , possibly coinciding with his time as a graduate student at Temple University or the University of Pennsylvania . Like his colleague FBI agent Seeley Booth , he is based at the J. Edgar Hoover Building and can be usually found in his consultation room . He occasionally accompanies Booth to interview victims ' family members or analyze a crime scene for insight into a suspect . Sweets ' young age has posed a problem for him at work as other agents sometimes do not take him seriously . When they first met each other Booth conjectured that the worst thing that had ever happened to Sweets was that he `` lost at Mortal Kombat '' . He is usually known to other agents , including Booth , as `` the shrink '' . When he and Booth first worked together , Booth often treated him in a condescending manner and would refer to or address him as `` The Shrink '' , amongst other humorous variations , instead of his actual name . Likewise , Agent Olivia Sparling , a rookie agent he was paired with when Booth was unavailable , viewed him with disdain upon their first meeting . On occasion Booth will pull rank and trick Sweets into doing an interrogation or more menial tasks for him , much to Sweets ' chagrin . Sweets appears to be formally trained as a psychoanalytic psychologist , often referencing Freudian theories and approaches , even describing the psychosexual stages of childhood development to Booth . Ironically , Dr. Wyatt notes that `` Freud has been largely discredited '' in `` Mayhem on a Cross '' , but still shows a great amount of respect and support towards Sweets . Despite his age , Sweets ' expertise is recognized and , often grudgingly , appreciated by Booth and the team . In more complicated cases or when dealing with difficult suspects he has been the only one able to offer any insight or get through to the suspect . He was also the first to correctly deduce murderer Christopher Pelant 's real motives after the Jeffersonian team kept hitting dead ends with the physical evidence . During the time frame between Seasons 5 and 6 Sweets takes a sabbatical from the FBI while Dr. Brennan and Daisy went to the Maluku Islands , Booth was deployed to Afghanistan and Angela and Hodgins traveled to Paris . He was reluctant to return after calling off his engagement with Daisy but prosecutor Caroline Julian tricked him into returning by calling him up saying that Booth had returned with `` posttraumatic stress syndrome '' and needed psychological help ( which was not true ) . In Season 9 he takes a brief sabbatical but returns in several episodes to assist with Booth 's cases . After Booth kills Pelant , Sweets returns permanently , only to find that the department has acquired a new computerized profiling system called VAL and linked it to Dr. Camille Saroyan 's office at the Jeffersonian . Throughout the episode `` The Lady on the List '' , he makes his displeasure known to Booth and Cam , who comments to Sweets that he `` may as well hate a transistor radio '' . Booth eventually shuts his VAL down when physical evidence disproved its analysis , stating that he still prefers Sweets to a computer . In Season 7 , Sweets decided to earn his firearms qualifications , which likely meant that he was not a sworn special agent as FBI regulations require special agents to be armed . He stated that he wanted to back Booth up in light of the number of violent suspects Booth has to deal with on a regular basis and the fact that he also regularly accompanies Booth out into the field . At first Booth was skeptical and told Bones , `` it 's crazy for ( Sweets ) to own a gun '' . Unable to dissuade him , Booth `` called in a favor '' to take over as range master for Sweets ' test stating that since Sweets wants to back him up , he needed to see for himself that he could trust Sweets with his back . Sweets was grazed by a bullet during the test but passed . In Season 9 he makes his first arrest , indicating that he has special agent status even though he is never addressed as a such . Relationships ( edit ) Sweets had a relationship with Daisy Wick , an intern at the Jeffersonian . He asked her to marry him and later they broke up . At the beginning of the program 's tenth season , Sweets is revealed to have impregnated Wick sometime prior to the first episode . Colleagues ( edit ) As a psychologist , Sweets ' initial relationships with the main cast are as that of an advisor and he often tries to help others , even when his aid is unwanted . Despite this , all of the main characters have gone to him for advice , usually more than once and have developed some sort of friendship with him , although some ( particularly Hodgins and Booth ) view him as annoying . Sweets confesses that he had a secret thing for Angela at one point , mentioning in Booth 's coma about Daisy , but Hodgins misinterprets it as love for Angela and replies : `` Angela ? You do n't have a chance with Angela '' but , after being intimidated by her father in `` The Science in the Physicist '' he loses interest . Despite his aptitude for behavioral analysis , he believed for a time that all the members of the team hated him and found him annoying due to their behavior toward him . However , all of them have come to him for advice at least once , a fact reaffirmed by Cam . After Zack Addy was admitted to a psychiatric hospital for committing a murder , Sweets became his therapist and until his death , saw him on a regular basis . Initially , Sweets believes that Zack does not feel guilty enough about murder and that he should feel less guilty about being taken in by Gormogon 's rhetoric . However , in `` The Perfect Pieces in the Purple Pond '' , Zack reveals that he is innocent of murder and simply provided Gormogon with information . Although Sweets wishes to reveal this to Brennan and Booth , Zack invokes patient confidentiality , knowing that he would be prosecuted as an accessory to murder and believes that he would not fare well in prison . Seeley Booth ( edit ) Although Booth is initially disrespectful of Sweets due to his youth , the two eventually develop a friendship , albeit one that is , for a time , pressed by Sweets ' interest in Booth 's past as an abused child and Booth 's dismissive treatment of Sweets . Booth does , however , recognize Sweets ' skill as a profiler and often takes Sweets along to conduct interrogations and analyze a victim or suspect 's personal effects for some insight . Throughout the fourth season , the two develop a father / son relationship , something that is especially obvious when Sweets turns to Booth for advice about his girlfriend in `` The Cinderella in the Cardboard '' . This is again apparent when Sweets doubts Booth 's trust in him when Booth consults Dr. Wyatt over himself when he discovers that , following his operation , he is no longer the expert marksman he once was . However , Wyatt points out that Booth taking Sweets into interrogations was evidence of Booth 's implicit trust in him , while Booth merely avoided discussing his potentially work - related issue with Sweets because Sweets ' first loyalty would be to the FBI and he did not want to create a conflict of interest for him because he was too fond of him . In `` The Critic in the Cabernet '' when Booth is in the hospital , Sweets is visibly upset and emotional about Booth 's predicament . Booth also seems to have a grudging respect for Sweets 's skill as a psychologist . Although Booth is unenthusiastic about their regular appointments , he occasionally seeks Sweets 's advice and even asked him for help with Parker . On other occasions , Booth has asked for Sweets 's help during investigations , even explicitly recommending him to Cam on one occasion . In the beginning of the fifth season , Sweets observes that Booth is in love with Brennan , but Sweets intervenes , believing that his attraction is a by - product of the alternate world he experienced during his coma . He warns Booth that the attraction may not be real and that he should not act on his feelings as he may later fall out of love and hurt Brennan . Although Booth initially disregards him , he later seems to realize the validity of his advice and ultimately decides not to tell Brennan that he is in love with her . Temperance Brennan ( edit ) Sweets has a good friendship with Brennan , despite her disdain for his profession . When Brennan sees Sweets ' girlfriend , Daisy , trying on a bridal gown with another man , Brennan states that she likes Sweets and ca n't bring herself to lie to him because she thinks she can spare him some emotional pain . Later , after learning that Sweets was abused as a child , she shares a part of her own pained childhood with him in an attempt to connect with him . Prior to this , Sweets has made his own attempts to develop a friendship with Brennan , even asking on one occasion to call her `` Bones '' after she protects him from an attacker , although his request is promptly denied as the moniker was reserved exclusively for Booth . Later on , during `` The Night in the Bones Museum '' , Brennan agrees to rehire Daisy when Sweets says he would take it as a personal favor , possibly as a result of her affection for him . Brennan 's dislike of psychology does , however , occasionally cause friction in their relationship . Like Booth , she eventually , and grudgingly , developed a respect for Sweets ' profession . In `` The Beaver in the Otter '' , Sweets notices three frat boys that were feigning their grief for their late frat brother . When Brennan learns he used psychology to deduce this , she says that he had simply ' guessed ' , upsetting Sweets . At the end of the episode , Sweets is able to uncover the killer , but when Brennan again asks him how , he simply says that Brennan wo n't believe him and that he ' guessed ' , revealing that her words had hurt him . On occasion , however , Brennan will admit to the uses of psychology , such as when she asked Sweets to help her learn to read people the same way Booth does . Additionally , in the episode `` The Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood '' , Sweets attempts to understand why three people killed their neighbor . He explains that , although it is not necessary to the case , he wants that insight into the human mind , something that Brennan accepts and respects . There is , however , one aspect of Sweets ' psychological training that Brennan seems to continually respect : his ability to discern lies , acknowledging that physical reactions can indicate dishonesty . Her respect for this ability is most apparent at the end of `` The Tough Man in the Tender Chicken '' , when she suggests using Sweets as a `` human polygraph test '' in Booth 's place when they realize that Booth 's own ability to detect dishonesty has been compromised since his coma . When Booth tells Brennan that his marksmanship skill has fallen since his coma , she immediately suggests talking to Sweets and later tells Sweets of the many discrepancies in Booth 's behavior since the coma . Dr. Gordon Wyatt ( edit ) Sweets has developed a friendly relationship with Dr. Gordon Wyatt , who in turn mentors Sweets and offers him guidance at times . Gordon has shown great respect for Sweets and his skill as a psychologist . Gordon also seems to be fairly protective of Sweets , particularly during `` Mayhem on a Cross '' . Through Sweets ' manuscript , Gordon was able to deduce that Sweets himself had been abused as a child and was adopted by an elderly couple who had recently died . He tells Sweets that he has a good heart and a genuine desire to help others that makes psychology his true calling , something that Gordon himself does not have . Later in the episode , while he is preparing a dinner for Brennan and Booth , he tells them of Sweets ' past and encourages them to include him in their surrogate family . Romances ( edit ) Sweets dated April , a tropical fish specialist , until she broke up with him in `` The Man in the Mud '' . Daisy Wick ( edit ) Sweets begins dating one of Dr. Temperance Brennan 's interns , Daisy Wick , after meeting her during a case . He is initially drawn to her by the fact that she minored in psychology and later , after Booth and Brennan avoid another therapy session , calls her . At the end of `` The Skull in the Sculpture '' , Sweets insists on personally breaking the news to her when Cam decides to fire her , telling Daisy that the upside of it is that they no longer must be discreet about their relationship . When Daisy confesses she thought that Sweets was ashamed of her , he kisses her in front of the entire team , surprising them all greatly . In `` The Cinderella In The Cardboard '' , Daisy is viewed fitting a wedding dress with an unknown male by Booth and Brennan . After much deliberation , Sweets confronts her , at which point they quickly resolve the fact that Daisy is not having an affair , and she was simply fitting the dress for her cousin , and the unknown male was her cousin 's fiance . At that point , Daisy closes the blinds to Sweets 's office and they begin disrobing as the camera pans to another point of view . In `` Night in the Bones Museum '' , Sweets intercedes on Daisy 's behalf and persuades Dr Brennan to offer Daisy another chance at the internship although she has been fired twice already ; although not from lack of ability but rather the fact that she is `` annoying '' . He teaches her breathing techniques to make her less so , but she begins to resent his constant presence at the lab . He realizes that his trying to change her was insulting , and resolves that if she ever fails in future , he will just `` give ( her ) a hug '' . Daisy and Sweets then have sex in the Egyptology department . In `` The Bones On The Blue Line '' , Sweets proposes to Daisy , and she accepts . Though when she decides to go to the Maluku Islands on a year - long anthropological dig , they break up when he refuses to join her . However , in the episode `` The Shallow in the Deep '' , Daisy and Sweets are revealed to have been having casual sex ; Booth and Brennan accidentally stumbled on them having sex in Sweets ' office as Booth needed Sweets to sign his ready - for - duty form . Sweets realizes that he wants a stable relationship , and he and Daisy reconnect in a bar by realizing that they are not so different after all . They are shown near the end of the episode kissing . Later on in the season it is revealed that Sweets is planning on proposing to Daisy again . Daisy 's nickname for Lance is her `` Sweet Lancelot '' , a reference to his name , Lance Sweets , and to the romantic character , Lancelot , of Arthurian myth . Sweets also sometimes refers to Daisy as `` Miss Daisy '' , also using the phrase `` What are you driving at , Miss Daisy ? '' in reference to the film , `` Driving Miss Daisy '' . In the Season 8 episode `` The Gunk in the Garage '' , Sweets turns down a fellow FBI agent , Olivia Sparling , who is obviously interested in him , citing his serious relationship with Daisy ; however , in the following episode , `` The Tiger in the Tale '' , he and Daisy encounter trouble in their relationship . Sweets and Daisy plan to finally move in together and rent an apartment . Though both are excited about this at first , after talking with both Angela and Booth , Sweets begins to second - guess living with Daisy , realizing that , though she wants to eventually get married , and even someday start a family ; all the things he was n't entirely sure about yet . As a result , Sweets , despite feeling bad , breaks off their relationship , and allows Daisy to keep the apartment . Though the two had a moment of reminiscing , they remained friends . Before the end of the season , Sweets actually thought Daisy missed him . She was flattered and admitted she missed him and the sex , a little . In the Season 10 premiere , it is revealed that he and Daisy reconnected over the past year . The reconciliation of their relationship resulted in her pregnancy . She 's seen approximately 5 months pregnant with their son ; whom she calls `` Little Lance '' affectionately . Sweets is killed later in the episode . One of his last thoughts was of Daisy and he requested Dr. Brennan to tell her `` not to worry '' , stating she worried too much . Prior to his death , Sweets and Daisy ask Booth to be their unborn son 's godfather , and Sweets even wanted to name the baby ' Seeley ' . Characterization ( edit ) Lance Sweets is brought into the series early in the third season ( `` The Secret in the Soil '' ) as a psychologist to Seeley Booth and Temperance Brennan . The FBI forced them to seek therapy because Booth had arrested Brennan 's father and the FBI was considering severing their partnership . Sweets ' presence provides a bit of comic relief , as he is often the target of insults from both his clients , though they do show sympathy for him on occasion . His youth ( according to Angela , Sweets needs to show his ID at bars to drink ) and inexperience with police work also prove to be a challenge for him in the series , as many do n't take him seriously , although his psychological analysis of Booth and Brennan is typically quite accurate . Booth is very suspicious of his ability to predict behavior using psychoanalysis , calling it `` Jedi mind tricks '' . Also , while able to quickly recognize when someone is lying ( Booth has described him as a `` portable polygraph '' ) , he himself does not appear to be very good at lying ; when he lied about his personal life in `` Double Trouble in the Panhandle '' , both Booth and Brennan were able to tell easily . Sweets is characterized as extremely intelligent and he has often been able to provide much - needed insight into a case when the Jeffersonian team hit a dead end with physical evidence . He is generally well - liked and valued by the `` squints '' despite Brennan 's dislike of psychology and Hodgins ' incessant jibes about his youthful appearance . Hodgins , Angela and Cam have all asked him for advice at least once in the show . Besides his academic intellect and skill as a profiler , Sweets has various interests outside of psychology . A skilled chess player , he was also one of the youngest chessmasters in the federation which he was a member of during his college days . He is musically - inclined and plays the piano ( as does actor John Francis Daley ) ; in during the time frame between Seasons 5 and 6 he takes a sabbatical when Booth , Brennan , Angela , Hodgins and Daisy leave Washington DC for a year and becomes a free lance pianist . He is also well - read and familiar with William Shakespeare . In the season 4 finale , `` The End in the Beginning '' , he is presented as a bartender ( `` practically a psychologist '' ) and the lead singer and keyboardist of a band called `` Gormogon '' , a reference to a character in a previous story arc . He states he is not Gormogon and that it is simply a name ; this may be a nod to a belief that many fans held that Sweets was , in fact , Gormogon . Even in this alternate world , Booth is still a father figure to Sweets , giving him the opportunity to audition at the nightclub , and Sweets is still in a relationship with Daisy . He is also protective of Brennan , having burnt evidence that he thought would implicate her . Death ( edit ) In the final moments of the premiere episode of season 10 titled `` The Conspiracy in the Corpse '' , Booth and Bones arrive to a parking garage after Booth received a distressed call from junior FBI agent James Aubrey . They arrive to find Dr. Sweets lying on the ground , bloodied and bruised . Also on the scene is junior agent James Aubrey who arrived moments after the incident after hearing the shots Sweets fired at his assailant . After a brief discussion between Booth , Bones and a fading Sweets , he finally succumbs to his wounds and dies as an ambulance is heard arriving in the background . His last words to Brennan and Booth , are `` The world is a lot better than you think it is . It 's ... '' References ( edit ) ^ Jump up to : `` The Fact in the Fiction '' . Bones . Season 8 .

Jennings wrote the theme song for the show and recorded two versions : the television theme version and a slightly different version made commercially available on both single and album which received radio airplay . The television show version features Larry McNeely 's banjo work which the commercially available version does not . Additionally , the television version 's third verse contains the lyric , `` Fightin ' the system like two modern - day Robin Hoods '' , which is accompanied by a `` Yee - haw ! '' said by characters , Bo Duke ( John Schneider ) and Luke Duke ( Tom Wopat ) , though it is in fact Schneider 's vocal used twice . The commercially available version receiving radio airplay contains a musical bridge which follows the first verse and chorus . Also , following the commercial version 's second chorus , Jennings makes a tongue - in - cheek reference to his faceless appearance in the credits by singing , `` I 'm a good ol ' boy , you know my mama loves me , but she do n't understand why they keep showing my hands and not my face on TV '' ( a statement referring to the opening shot in the television theme version where Jennings is only shown below the neck playing guitar ) . Most of Jennings ' greatest hits albums and various compilation releases containing the `` Theme from The Dukes of Hazzard ( Good Ol ' Boys ) '' feature the commercially available version . Commercial performance ( edit ) In November 1980 , `` Theme from The Dukes of Hazzard ( Good Ol ' Boys ) '' became Jennings ' twelfth # 1 country hit overall ( tenth as a solo recording act ) . The song spent seventeen weeks on the Billboard country singles charts and became his biggest hit on the Billboard Hot 100 , peaking at # 21 . It also appeared on several other music charts . The original 1980 single was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America for sales over a million . Subsequent to the 2005 movie , the song was certified platinum in 2007 for a million ringtone sales . Note : the certification sales qualification levels had been changed in 1989 .

List of winless seasons
List of winless seasons - wikipedia List of winless seasons Jump to : navigation , search A winless season is a regular season in which a sports team fails to win any of their games . The antithesis of a perfect season , this ignominy has been suffered twelve times in professional American football , six times in arena football , three times in professional Canadian football , once each in American professional lacrosse and box lacrosse , more than twenty - five times in major Australian football leagues , thirteen times in top - level rugby league , at least twice in top - level rugby union , and twice in English county cricket . Contents ( hide ) 1 Gridiron football 1.1 National Football League 1.1. 1 8 or more games 1.1. 2 7 games or fewer 1.2 Arena Football League 1.3 United Football League 1.4 World League of American Football 1.5 Other American football leagues 1.6 Canadian Football League 1.6. 1 CFL teams with no wins in a season ( based on official CFL site ) 2 National Pro Grid League 2.1 NPGL teams with no wins in a season ( based on NPGL site ) 3 Lacrosse 4 Other North American leagues 4.1 Major League Soccer 4.2 National Basketball Association 4.2. 1 Women 's National Basketball Association 4.2. 2 United States Basketball League 4.2. 3 British Basketball League 4.3 National Hockey League 4.4 Major League Baseball 5 Australian rules football 5.1 VFL / AFL 5.1. 1 VFL / AFL teams with no wins in a season 5.2 SANFL 5.3 WAFL 5.4 VFA / VFL 5.4. 1 1897 - 1995 5.4. 2 1996 - present 6 Rugby league 6.1 Great Britain 6.2 Australia 7 Rugby union 8 Cricket 8.1 County cricket 8.2 International first - class cricket 8.3 International one - day and Twenty20 cricket 9 Netball 10 Association football 11 Ice hockey 12 Notes 13 References Gridiron Football ( edit ) Because of the relatively small number of games played in college and professional football seasons , there is a possibility that a particularly inept team will not manage to win any games . Before overtime was used consistently , teams might tie a game without winning one ; these are generally counted in lists of winless seasons . This is because , during eras before overtime was introduced to American football , leagues generally ignored tied games when calculating winning percentage . National Football League ( edit ) 8 or more games ( edit ) Year Team Wins Losses Ties Strength of Schedule Remarks 2017 Cleveland Browns 0 16 0 0.520 Ties the 2008 Detroit Lions for most losses in a single season . Coincidentally , both had perfect 4 -- 0 preseasons , and lost the final game of the regular season to a heated division rival on the road . First NFL franchise to have multiple seasons with 15 or more losses , going 1 -- 31 over two seasons , with their only win in week 16 of the 2016 season . The only franchise to have a winless season and a perfect season ( 1948 ) . 2008 Detroit Lions 0 16 0 0.559 Detroit was the first non-expansion team to lose every game in a full season since World War II . This was their second winless season in franchise history ( 1942 , see below ) . With this season , The Lions became only the second NFL franchise with two full winless seasons ( and the only one still in existence ) . 1982 Baltimore Colts 0 8 0.648 Strike - shortened season . 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers 0 14 0 0.520 Debut season ; went on to lose the first 12 games of the 1977 season as well , to start 0 -- 26 as a franchise . 1960 Dallas Cowboys 0 11 0.540 Debut season . 1944 Brooklyn Tigers 0 10 0 0.645 Suspended operations after the season , and did not return to the league after World War II ended . 1944 Card - Pitt 0 10 0 0.650 Merger between Chicago Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers due to player shortages during World War II ; the Steelers themselves merged with the Philadelphia Eagles the previous year for the same reasons . Also , the Steagles were the only team the Steelers had merged and won games with the Eagles . 1943 Chicago Cardinals 0 10 0 0.595 If one includes the 1944 Card - Pitt team ( see above ) , the Cardinals are the only NFL team to have back - to - back full seasons without a victory . ( The league , however , considers Card - Pitt and the Cardinals to be separate franchises . ) 1942 Detroit Lions 0 11 0 0.541 This was the first NFL season during U.S. involvement in World War II , leading to a depletion of the player talent pool . There were talks of suspending play . However , it was ultimately decided to continue operations to boost morale on the home front . 1934 Cincinnati Reds 0 8 0 0.608 Folded before the season was over . 1925 Columbus Tigers 0 9 0 0.649 First franchise with more than one full winless season ( the Tigers folded after the 1926 campaign ) . 1922 Columbus Panhandles 0 8 0 0.531 The Rochester Jeffersons went a combined 0 -- 21 -- 2 from 1922 to 1925 , but played only partial NFL schedules in those years ( 0 -- 4 -- 1 , 0 -- 4 , 0 -- 7 and 0 -- 6 -- 1 , respectively ) . They also had another winless season in 1911 going 0 -- 1 -- 3 in the New York Pro Football League . Source : Worst NFL Teams of all time ( ESPN ) 7 games or fewer ( edit ) Year Team Wins Losses Ties Strength of schedule Remarks 1929 Dayton Triangles 0 6 0 0.656 Dayton 's final season . The third and consecutive winless seasons for Dayton . Their final win was in 1927 then consecutively went 0 -- 18 -- 1 losing every game in their final two seasons . 1928 Dayton Triangles 0 7 0 0.625 The second winless season for Dayton . 1927 Buffalo Bisons 0 5 0 0.456 The Bisons consecutively went 0 -- 13 -- 2 through a three - season span . 1926 Hammond Pros 0 0 0.537 The second winless season for Hammond . 1926 Louisville Colonels 0 0 0.546 Louisville changed their name from the Brecks to the Colonels making this the franchise 's third winless season and going 1 - 12 -- 0 in their four seasons . 1925 Rochester Jeffersons 0 6 0.609 The fourth consecutive winless season for the Jeffersons . They went 0 -- 21 -- 2 through this span . 1925 Dayton Triangles 0 7 0.663 1925 Duluth Kelleys 0 0 0.621 1925 Milwaukee Badgers 0 6 0 0.708 1924 Kenosha Maroons 0 0.612 Only season . 1924 Minneapolis Marines 0 6 0 0.650 Consecutively went 0 - 9 - 2 through a three - season span . 1924 Rochester Jeffersons 0 6 0 0.594 The third consecutive winless season for the Jeffersons . 1923 Louisville Brecks 0 0 0.544 The second winless season for Louisville in their third season , and only having one win in the previous season . 1923 Rochester Jeffersons 0 0 0.550 The second consecutive winless season for the Jeffersons . 1922 Evansville Crimson Giants 0 0 0.567 1922 Rochester Jeffersons 0 0.590 1922 Hammond Pros 0 0.526 1921 Tonawanda Kardex 0 0 0.400 Only NFL season . 1921 Muncie Flyers 0 0 0.444 The second winless season in a row . The Flyers finished their NFL franchise record as 0 -- 3 . 1921 Louisville Brecks 0 0 0.285 1921 New York Brickley Giants 0 0 0.650 Only Season . 1920 Muncie Flyers 0 0 0.700 Arena Football League ( edit ) The previously shorter length of seasons in arena football made imperfect seasons quite possible . The following teams went through an Arena Football League season without winning a game : Year Team Played Remarks 1989 Maryland Commandos Only year branded as the Maryland Commandos . 1991 Columbus Thunderbolts 10 Moved to Cleveland the following year . New Orleans Night 10 Team ceased operations after season . Milwaukee Mustangs 12 First winless team to remain in same city during following season . Went to 10 -- 4 in 1996 . Folded in 2001 . Memphis Pharaohs 14 Relocated twice , firstly as the Portland Forest Dragons from 1997 and then as the Oklahoma Wranglers . Folded in 2001 . 2003 Carolina Cobras 16 Went to 6 -- 10 the following season . Folded in 2004 . In 2001 , the Columbus Wardogs of AF2 , the minor league of the AFL , made history becoming the first American football team to go 0 -- 16 . United Football League ( edit ) The United Football League had one winless season . In their inaugural season , the 2009 New York Sentinels lost all six of their games . The team , which was a traveling team that played games in Hartford , Long Island and New Jersey ( and had intended to play a game in New York City but backed out ) , fired its head coach and settled permanently in Hartford to become the Hartford Colonials . Under the UFL 's double round robin format , only one team could finish any particular season entirely with losses , since every team played each other at least twice . World League of American Football ( edit ) The 1991 inaugural season of the World League of American Football saw the Raleigh - Durham Skyhawks fold after losing all ten of their regular - season games . The following year , the WLAF replaced that franchise with the Ohio Glory who almost met the same fate but managed one win in their lone season . Other American Football leagues ( edit ) Since non-professional , semi-professional and minor league teams are inherently unstable in their membership , it is far easier for seasons in which a team wins no games to occur . In the case of non-professional teams , neither mechanisms to force a team to shut down against its will , nor effective drafts or revenue sharing mechanisms to distribute talent evenly among teams typically exist , leading to poor teams accumulating multiple winless seasons . Four teams in football history have both lost all their games and failed to score a single point in an entire season ; all played eight games or less . The 1938 Clintonville Four Wheel Drive Truckers failed to score a point in a nine - game season , but managed two 0 -- 0 ties . There are at least twelve teams who have accumulated losing streaks of 20 games or more ; there are also four teams who have accumulated seasons of all losses with at least 13 games . In the case of minor professional football , particularly in indoor football leagues , winless seasons often result from an owner 's abandonment or other financial hardship . The American Indoor Football Association had at least one winless team in five out of six seasons . The National Indoor Football League went its first three seasons without a winless season , but beginning in 2004 , at least one team went winless every year until the league 's collapse in 2007 . Though the Spring Football League had two teams with winless seasons ( the Los Angeles Dragons and the Miami Tropics ) , and the Stars Football League had one such team ( the traveling 2011 Michigan Coyotes ) , they are almost never mentioned in discussions of perfect and perfectly bad seasons , since those teams only played two games each before the seasons were cut short . AF2 was the minor league of the Arena Football League . In 2001 , the Columbus Wardogs made history becoming the first American football team to finish a season 0 -- 16 . The Legends Football League ( originally Lingerie Football League ) , whose seasons are only three to four games long for each team , has had eight teams with perfectly bad seasons in three years of play . One such team , the Toronto Triumph , did not win a game in either of their competing seasons in 2011 and 2012 . The Princeton Tigers sprint football squad , a team consisting of players under 172 pounds , sustained 16 consecutive winless seasons before Princeton University shut the team down in 2015 , citing safety concerns in allowing players to play on a team so heavily outmatched . Canadian Football League ( edit ) The Canadian Football League currently has a regular season of eighteen games ; from 1952 to 1985 it was generally sixteen games as with the current NFL season , though those teams in the Eastern Division played only fourteen as late as 1973 . Also , the CFL did not adopt interdivisional regular season play until the early 1960s . Consequently , especially given the much smaller number of teams playing , there have been fewer imperfect seasons than in the National Football League , with the exception of the first decade or so when fewer games were played . CFL teams with no wins in a season ( based on official CFL site ) ( edit ) Year Team Games Wins Losses Ties Comments 1949 Hamilton Wildcats 12 0 12 0 Merged with the Hamilton Tigers for 1950 season 1946 Hamilton Wildcats 12 0 10 1941 Montreal Royals 6 0 6 0 Did not resume when Canadian football recommenced after World War II . 1939 Montreal Royals 6 0 5 1938 Edmonton Eskimos 8 0 8 0 1938 Montreal Royals 6 0 6 0 National Pro Grid League ( edit ) The National Pro Grid League has a short season of 3 to 4 games per team plus a 4 to 8 team playoff . The Los Angeles Reign did not win one game during the first three seasons of the league . NPGL teams with no wins in a season ( based on NPGL site ) ( edit ) Season Team Games Wins Losses Comments 2016 LA Reign 0 2015 LA Reign 0 2014 LA Reign 0 Including one playoff loss . Lacrosse ( edit ) Seasons in the National Lacrosse League and its predecessors Major Indoor Lacrosse League and Eagle Pro Box Lacrosse League have varied from eight games in the first years of competition to sixteen games today , with the extension having been gradual . The Charlotte Cobras , who played only one season before folding , are the only team in the history of the NLL to have not won a game in a season . In their sole 1996 season they played twelve games and lost them all , before folding . In Major League Lacrosse , the season has consisted of either twelve or fourteen games since the league was formed in 2001 . The only winless season in Major League Lacrosse has been by the 2006 Chicago Machine , who went 0 -- 12 and lost an MLL record thirteen consecutive games . Other North American leagues ( edit ) In the other major professional sports leagues of North America it is virtually impossible that a team could lose all its games , for the simple reason that there are many more games in the regular season than in football or lacrosse . Major League Soccer ( edit ) The Major League Soccer schedule has consisted of between twenty - six and thirty - four games . No team in Major League Soccer has ever come close to losing all its games : the most losses in a MLS season is 24 from 32 games by the Kansas City Wizards in 1999 , the year when the league used shootouts to decide all tied games . Shootouts were abandoned the following season . In 2013 , D.C. United set new MLS records in futility . They won a league low three games , and lost a record 24 games , tying the aforementioned Wizards . National basketball association ( edit ) Since the 1967 -- 68 season , the National Basketball Association 's regular season schedule has been 82 games long ( except 1998 -- 99 , 50 games and 2011 -- 12 , 66 games due to lockouts ) . It has been as few as 48 games long , but eventually expanded to an 82 - game schedule . The 2011 -- 12 Charlotte Bobcats hold the record for the lowest winning percentage of any team in an NBA season , winning only 7 out of 66 games in a lockout - shortened season , for a winning percentage of . 106 . This broke the record held by the 1972 -- 73 Philadelphia 76ers , who had a winning percentage of . 110 in a full 82 - game season . The 1947 -- 48 Providence Steamrollers won an all - time NBA low of six games out of 48 (. 125 winning percentage ) . The 1953 -- 54 Baltimore Bullets went 0 -- 20 on the road . More recently , the 1990 -- 91 Sacramento Kings managed a near - imperfect road season , winning only one of 41 away games . Overall , the Kings lost 43 consecutive road games before beating the Orlando Magic 95 -- 93 on November 23 , 1991 . Women 's National basketball association ( edit ) Since its formation in 1997 , the WNBA regular season has been gradually increased from 30 to the current 34 - game schedule . No team has gone through a WNBA season without winning a game ; the fewest wins in a WNBA season has been three by the 1998 Washington Mystics in their first season , and the 2011 Tulsa Shock . Two other expansion WNBA teams , the 2008 Atlanta Dream at 4 -- 30 and the 2006 Chicago Sky at 5 -- 29 have come closest to this record . United states basketball League ( edit ) The Atlantic City Seagulls of the ( now defunct ) summertime , minor league USBL finished the 2001 season with an 0 -- 28 record . It was quite a turnaround for the franchise , as they were dominant in the USBL just a few years earlier ; the Seagulls were USBL runners - up in 1996 , then swept to three straight titles in 1997 -- 99 . In 2000 , the Seagulls slipped to 12 -- 18 , fourth place , and were beaten in the first round of the playoffs ; after their winless 2001 campaign , the Seagulls folded . British basketball League ( edit ) In 2013 , Mersey Tigers became the first top - flight British basketball team to go a whole season winless . This record of 0 -- 33 in the regular season of the 2012 -- 13 BBL Championship , was completed with a 90 -- 57 loss away to Glasgow Rocks , but can also be extended to include their complete season of 0 -- 35 ( defeats in the first round of the BBL Cup and BBL Trophy ) . The defeat in the BBL Trophy was also significant because they fell at this stage to EBL Division One side , Worthing Thunder , and in doing so , it was the first time a BBL side had been knocked out from a competition by an EBL team . They also currently hold the longest losing streak of 34 consecutive defeats in the BBL Championship . National Hockey League ( edit ) The National Hockey League 's schedule , like that of the NBA , consists of 82 games . Since the 2004 -- 05 lockout , teams receive two points for a win , one point for a loss in overtime or a shootout , and zero points for a loss in regulation time . From 1997 until 2004 , teams received two points for a win , one point for a tie or overtime loss , and zero points for a regulation loss . Prior to 1997 , teams received two points for a win , one point for a tie , and no points for a loss . From 1997 to 2004 , NHL standings tables had four columns : W -- L -- T -- OTL . From 2005 to 2010 , it was reduced to three , W -- L -- OTL ; in 2011 , a `` regulation / overtime win '' column ( ROW ) was added , which excludes shootout wins ; it does not change the point totals , but does serve as the second tiebreaker ( after games played ; since all teams play 82 games by the season 's end barring any unreschedulable cancellations , it becomes the first tiebreaker at season 's end ) . No team has ever come close to losing every game in an NHL season ; the worst record is by the 1974 -- 75 Washington Capitals who went 8 -- 67 -- 5 ( 8 wins , 67 losses , 5 ties ) . The 1974 -- 75 Capitals and 1992 -- 93 Ottawa Senators hold the record for fewest wins on the road with one . The NHL played an 80 - game season in 1974 -- 75 , whereas in 1992 -- 93 the schedule consisted of 84 games , thus giving the Senators the percentage record for worst road record . The Senators also set a record by losing their first 38 consecutive road games ( the Senators ' road statistics include a neutral site game played in Hamilton , Ontario , in which the Senators were considered the road team ) . Major League baseball ( edit ) Since the early 1960s , the schedule of both leagues of Major League Baseball has been 162 games long , and before that it was 154 games long . With such a schedule , it is practically impossible for a team to finish with a winless season . The sabermetric baseball statistic Wins Above Replacement is calculated on the premise that even a team consisting entirely of replacement - level players is expected to win a baseline minimum number of games ( typically 40 - 50 depending primarily on the caliber of the team 's division ) per 162 game season . The closest to a perfectly imperfect season in the National League was the infamous 1899 Cleveland Spiders season , who finished with a record of 20 - 134 after its roster was looted by the owners of the team , who then stacked the best players onto the St. Louis Perfectos . With a win percentage of . 130 , the Spiders are ( as of 2016 ) the last of three major league teams to have finished a season below the Mendoza line (. 200 ) in win percentage ; the others were the 1889 Louisville Colonels (. 196 ) , and the 1890 Pittsburgh Alleghenys (. 169 ) , whose best players had jumped to the Pittsburgh Burghers of the newly formed Player 's League . Since the establishment of the American League in 1901 , the teams to have come closest to imperfection are the 1916 Philadelphia Athletics ( 36 -- 117 ) , the 1935 Boston Braves ( 38 -- 115 ) , the 1962 New York Mets ( 40 -- 120 ) and the 2003 Detroit Tigers ( 43 -- 119 ) . Australian rules Football ( edit ) VFL / AFL ( edit ) In the Australian Football League ( until 1990 called the Victorian Football League ) , seasons have ranged from twelve games per team ( in 1916 , when only four teams competed due to World War I ) to 22 games ( since 1970 , except for 1993 when 20 games were played ) , with most seasons being of 18 or 22 games duration .

In more modern times the fixture list has been standardised at 26 games per team . As a result of this fairly lengthy schedule , it has been almost impossible for British rugby league teams to lose all their games , with the only exception being during World War II 's so - called `` Wartime emergency League '' when teams were often able to arrange no more than ten games and some as few as five . The only two winless seasons since normal competition resumed after the war have been in the second and third divisions of the Championship .

Australia ( edit ) In Australian rugby league seasons were initially between eight ( in the event of Kangaroo tours ) and sixteen games long , so that a very bad team could go through a season with only losses . As a result of the expansion of the NSWRL from 1947 onwards , the season has been lengthened gradually with a few intermissions . The following NSWRL teams up to 1966 did not win a single game : Season Team Wins Losses Draws Remarks 1966 Easts 0 18 0 Longest winless season in NSWRL / NRL history . Last season with 18 games : in 1967 the season expanded to 22 . Sequence of 29 winless games from Round 13 of 1965 . 1946 Souths 0 14 0 Lost 22 successive games after the death of Alf Blair during the 1944 / 1945 off - season . 1937 University 0 8 0 Team disbanded after season shortened by Kangaroo tour , having won only one game in three years ( 13 -- 11 against St. George in the last round of 1936 ) . 1935 University 0 16 0 Lost 42 consecutive games after winning 4 -- 3 in opening game of 1934 1921 University 0 8 0 Kangaroo tour shortened season . Won only one game in initial season of 1920 for a combined 1 -- 20 record . 1920 Annandale 0 13 0 Disbanded at end of season after having won only one game ( 8 -- 5 against Norths ) in three seasons . 1918 Annandale 0 14 0 Sequence of 27 winless games : won only twice in last four seasons Since 1967 , NSWRL and later NRL seasons have been between 22 and 26 games long ; thus it is much less likely a very bad team could lose every single one of its games . Rugby union ( edit ) Super Rugby , the Southern Hemisphere 's principal club competition , has seen two teams go through an entire season with no wins or draws . Both seasons were in the competition 's past incarnations of Super 12 and Super 14 , each name reflecting the number of competing teams . Under both Super 12 ( 1996 -- 2005 ) and Super 14 ( 2006 -- 2010 ) formats , each team played all other teams once , resulting in seasons of 11 and then 13 games . The competition became Super Rugby with the addition of a 15th team in 2011 . The season format was also heavily revamped ; the regular season now consists of 16 matches . The Super 12 and Super 14 eras each saw one team finish a season with only losses ; both teams with this dubious distinction are from South Africa . In 2002 , the Bulls , based in Pretoria , finished with 11 losses from 11 matches . The other imperfect season was that of the Johannesburg - based Lions in the final season of the Super 14 format in 2010 , who lost all 13 of their matches , while ending up with a final points difference of negative 300 . Cricket ( edit ) County cricket ( edit ) Main articles : Derbyshire County Cricket Club in 1884 and Derbyshire County Cricket Club in 1920 In English first - class county cricket , which has a history dating back to the early nineteenth century and was until the middle twentieth century up to the highest standard of the game , seasons have varied in length . Before the 1880s , they were generally less than ten matches in length and some `` first - class '' counties played only against one or two different opponents , so that a team losing all its games was not uncommon . Between 1887 and 1929 , seasons were gradually increased in length to a standard twenty - eight matches for all counties . However , because of the development and popularity of one - day cricket , seasons have been reduced to twenty - four games in 1969 and twenty in 1972 , though this was increased by two in 1977 and 1983 . With an increase to four days for all games , sixteen or seventeen games have been played since 1993 . Also , because of improvements to pitches via the heavy roller and covering to protect from rain , the proportion of games `` drawn '' ( not finished ) has steadily risen since the 1870s . Only two county teams have ever finished a season with only losses in a program of eight or more games : English First - Class County Teams Losing Every Game ( qualification 8 or more games ) Season Team Wins Losses Draws Remarks 1884 Derbyshire 0 10 0 Won only three games from 1884 to 1887 Lost every game in 1887 , but played only six games 1920 Derbyshire 0 17 0 One match , against Nottinghamshire , was abandoned without a ball bowled Teams losing or drawing every game in a first - class county season have been rather less exceptional , though by no means frequent : Other English First - Class County Teams with No Wins in a Season ( qualification 8 or more games ) Season Team Wins Losses Draws Remarks 1865 Yorkshire 0 6 Were to have an amazing rise due to the discovery of deadly fast bowlers Freeman and Emmett , winning every game in 1867 . 1871 Surrey 0 9 1877 Sussex 0 7 1886 Derbyshire 0 8 Was demoted from first - class status between 1888 and 1893 1897 Derbyshire 0 9 7 Lost two games by one wicket to power clubs Lancashire and Yorkshire 1900 Hampshire 0 16 6 Lost star batsman Robert Poore to the Boer War 1901 Derbyshire 0 13 7 1910 Somerset 0 15 Lost star bowler Bill Greswell to business in Ceylon .

First back - to - back winless seasons by a county since the Second World War . There were no completely winless seasons in the Sunday League limited - overs competition during its history from 1969 to 2009 . International first - class cricket ( edit ) With the exception of the Sheffield Shield since the 1970s , most first - class cricket competitions outside England have either been knock - outs or of such short length that it becomes an everyday occurrence for a team to lose all its games . Some , such as the Ranji Trophy and most seasons of the Quaid - e-Azam Trophy , have indeed been knockout competitions , which typically use first innings lead to decide if a match is unfinished . There have still be some notable winless sequences in non-English first - class cricket : in the 1981 -- 1982 Quaid - e-Azam Trophy , Karachi lost all nine of its matches between 1959 -- 1960 and 1986 -- 1987 , Jammu and Kashmir played a total of 115 games without a win International one - day and twenty20 cricket ( edit ) In the 2012 -- 13 season of the Australian Big Bash League , the Sydney Thunder completed an imperfect season where they lost all their eight games despite possessing the likes of Chris Gayle . Netball ( edit ) In the ANZ Championship , which formed out of the old Commonwealth Bank Trophy in 2008 , seasons have been thirteen games . There has so far been one winless season , by the Central Pulse from Wellington ( formed as a combination of the Wellington Shakers and Western Flyers ) in the opening 2008 season . They did earn one point when a game was abandoned due to a leaking roof . The Pulse were to win only one game each in 2009 and 2010 , thus having a record of 2 -- 36 after three seasons . Association Football ( edit ) Only three teams are known to have completed a season with no victories or draws . Antigua Barracuda lost all 26 matches of the 2013 USL Pro , while in the 2015 - 16 season , English non-league team Longford AFC , played a 30 - game season in the Gloucestershire Northern Senior League Division Two ( 14th tier on the English pyramid ) , losing all their matches after the majority of their players and manager left . In 2016 , Grêmio Barueri lost all 19 matches of the Campeonato Paulista Série A3 , the third level of the São Paulo state championship . After the disastrous season , the Antigua and Grêmio Barueri teams folded . In the 2010 -- 11 Ukrainian Second League ( 3rd tier on the Ukrainian pyramid ) , FC Veres Rivne lost all 14 out of 22 scheduled games before being expelled from the league due to failure of payment of league dues ; in addition , they also did not score a single goal at home . In top - level domestic league football however , few teams have completed their respective seasons without winning a game . In the 2010 -- 11 Serbian SuperLiga , FK Čukarički Stankom played an entire season winless , drawing five matches and losing 25 in a 30 - game season , giving them only 5 points and finishing bottom in a field of 16 . The team also only scored ten goals whilst conceding 65 . In the Bulgarian A Professional Football Group , which is the top tier of association football in the European country , three teams have all played a season without winning , with those being Torpedo Ruse ( four draws out of 22 matches during 1951 ) , Rakovski Ruse ( one draw out of 30 matches during 1996 / 97 ) and Chernomorets Burgas Sofia ( also one draw out of 30 matches during 2006 / 07 ) . Chernomorets were however the worse performing out of these , conceding 131 goals with only eight in reply ( the same number scored as Rakovski Ruse in their winless season ) , they still however completed the season with a minus 2 points total , because they violated a rule concerning not being able to field enough youth players . In the 1946 - 47 Allsvenskan , the Swedish Football League season of 1946 - 47 with 22 games played , Billingsfors IK tied 3 games and lost 19 , the only team in Swedish football history never to win even one single Allsvenskan game . In the 1999 -- 2000 Vyshcha Liha , the highest division of Ukrainian football championship , FC Zirka Kirovohrad tied 9 matches and lost 21 out of 30 . The open high frequency of draws in association football , coupled with the relatively long length of seasons and promotion and relegation system used in a majority of jurisdictions to automatically remove the lowest performing teams from any given league , makes winless seasons less likely to occur . Ice Hockey ( edit ) Winless seasons occurred frequently in the Ukrainian Hockey Championship , the top - level ice hockey league in Ukraine . The longest series belongs to HK Dniprovski Vovky who lost all 30 games in the regulation time in the 2007 -- 08 season . SDYuShOR Sokil , the academy team of HC Sokil Kyiv , had three winless seasons ( 1999 -- 2000 , 2004 -- 05 , and 2006 -- 07 ) . Four more teams completed a season without winning a single game : Ivars Kyiv lost all 12 games in 1996 -- 97 , Kryzynka II , the second team of HK Kryzynka Kiev ( playing in the same league as the main team ) , tied 1 and lost 13 games out of 14 in 1998 - 99 , HC Khimik Sieverodonetsk lost all 16 games in 2003 -- 04 , and VIM - Berkut lost all 10 games in 2009 -- 10 . Notes ( edit ) In the 1944 under - 19 wartime competition that replaced the senior competition between 1942 and that season due to the player drain of World War II , South Fremantle lost all nineteen of their games .

The film stars Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka and Freddie Highmore as Charlie Bucket . The storyline follows Charlie , who wins a contest and , along with four other contest winners , is led by Wonka on a tour of his chocolate factory , the most magnificent in the world . Development for a second adaptation of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory ( filmed previously as Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory in 1971 ) began in 1991 , which resulted in Warner Bros. providing the Dahl Estate with total artistic control . Prior to Burton 's involvement , directors such as Gary Ross , Rob Minkoff , Martin Scorsese and Tom Shadyac had been involved , while actors Bill Murray , Nicolas Cage , Jim Carrey , Michael Keaton , Brad Pitt , Will Smith , Adam Sandler , and many others , were either in discussion with or considered by the studio to play Wonka . Burton immediately brought regular collaborators Depp and Danny Elfman aboard . Charlie and the Chocolate Factory represents the first time since The Nightmare Before Christmas that Elfman contributed to a film score using written songs and his vocals . Filming took place from June to December 2004 at Pinewood Studios in the United Kingdom . Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was released to positive critical reception and was a box office success , grossing $475 million worldwide .

The company 's owner , Willy Wonka ( Johnny Depp ) , has for long closed access to his factory due to problems concerning industrial espionage that led him to fire all his employees , among them Charlie 's Grandpa Joe ( David Kelly ) . One day , Wonka announces a contest , in which Golden Tickets have been placed in five random Wonka Bars worldwide , and the winners will be given a full tour of the factory as well as a lifetime supply of chocolate , while one ticketholder will be given a special prize at the end of the tour . Wonka 's sales subsequently skyrocket , and the first four tickets are found fairly quickly . The recipients are Augustus Gloop ( Philip Wiegratz ) , a gluttonous German boy ; Veruca Salt ( Julia Winter ) , a very spoiled English girl ; Violet Beauregarde ( AnnaSophia Robb ) , a competitive gum chewer , and Mike Teavee ( Jordan Fry ) , an arrogant television and video game addict . Charlie tries twice to find a ticket , but both bars come up empty . After overhearing that the final ticket was found in Russia , Charlie finds a ten - dollar note , and purchases a Wonka Bar at a news shop . At the exact moment it was revealed that the Russian ticket was forged , Charlie discovers the real fifth ticket inside the wrapper . Charlie first considers an offer of $500 for the ticket , but decides to keep it , and bring Grandpa Joe to accompany him on the factory tour . Charlie and the other ticket holders are greeted by Wonka outside the factory , who then leads them into the facility . During the tour , each of the bad children disobey Wonka 's orders after being tempted by something related to their individual character flaws , and suffer various consequences : Augustus is sucked up a chocolate extraction pipe after falling into a chocolate river from which he was drinking , Violet is turned into an oversized blueberry after chewing unstable three - course - meal gum , Veruca is pushed into a garbage chute by worker squirrels after she tries to take one as a pet , and Mike is shrunk with a teleporter that he uses on himself . Wonka 's employees , the Oompa - Loompas ( Deep Roy ) sing a song of morality after each elimination . The children later leave the factory with an exaggerated characteristic or deformity related to their demise -- Augustus covered in chocolate , Violet flexible and violet - colored , Mike overstretched and Veruca merely covered in garbage . In addition , Augustus 's mother realises her son 's addiction to candy is bad and Veruca 's father resolves to stop spoiling his daughter . Wonka then invites Charlie to come live and work in the factory with him , and reveals that the purpose of the Golden Tickets and the tour was to make the `` least rotten '' child the heir of the factory itself . The only catch is that Charlie must leave his family behind , because Wonka believes family is a hindrance while a chocolatier needed creative freedom -- a philosophy Wonka developed due to his dentist father , Dr. Wilbur Wonka ( Christopher Lee ) , denying his son candy because of the potential risk to his teeth . After sneaking over a piece of candy , Wonka was instantly hooked , and ran away to follow his dreams . When he returned , both his father and their house were gone . As his family is the most important thing in his life , Charlie refuses Wonka 's offer . Charlie and his family are living contently a while later , however Wonka is too depressed to make candy the way he used to , causing his candy to sell poorly and his company to decline . He turns to Charlie for advice . Charlie decides to help Wonka confront and reconcile with his estranged father ; Wonka finally realizes the value of family , while his father learns to accept his son for who he is , and not what he does . In the end , Wonka finally allows Charlie 's family to move into the factory , Charlie has the chocolate factory , and Wonka has patched up with his family .

Warner Bros. and Brillstein - Grey Entertainment entered discussions with the Dahl estate in 1991 , hoping to purchase the rights to produce another film version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory . The purchase was finalized in 1998 , with Dahl 's widow , Felicity ( `` Liccy '' ) , and daughter , Lucy , receiving total artistic control and final privilege on the choices of actors , directors and writers . The Dahl Estate 's subsequent protection of the source material was the main reason that Charlie and the Chocolate Factory had languished in development hell since the 1990s . Scott Frank was hired to write the screenplay in February 1999 , after approaching Warner Bros. for the job . Frank , a recent Oscar - nominee for the R - rated crime film Out of Sight , wanted to work on a film that his children could enjoy . As an enthusiastic fan of the book , he intended to remain more truthful to Dahl 's vision than the 1971 film had been . Nicolas Cage was under discussions for Willy Wonka , but lost interest . Gary Ross signed to direct in February 2000 , which resulted in Frank completing two drafts of the screenplay , before leaving with Ross in September 2001 . Both Warner Bros. and the Dahl Estate wanted Frank to stay on the project , but he faced scheduling conflicts and contractual obligations with Minority Report ( 2002 ) and The Lookout ( 2007 ) . Rob Minkoff entered negotiations to take the director 's position in October 2001 , and Gwyn Lurie was hired to start from scratch on a new script in February 2002 . Lurie said she would adapt the original book and ignore the 1971 film adaptation . Dahl 's estate championed Lurie after being impressed with her work on another Dahl adaptation , a live - action adaptation of The BFG , for Paramount Pictures , which was never made ( Paramount distributed the earlier 1971 film version of Charlie , and later sold the rights to WB ) . In April 2002 , Martin Scorsese was involved with the film , albeit briefly , but opted to direct The Aviator instead . Warner Bros. president Alan F. Horn wanted Tom Shadyac to direct Jim Carrey as Willy Wonka , believing the duo could make Charlie and the Chocolate Factory relevant to mainstream audiences , but Liccy Dahl opposed this . Pre-production After receiving enthusiastic approval from the Dahl Estate , Warner Bros. hired Tim Burton to direct in May 2003 . Burton compared the project 's languishing development to Batman ( 1989 ) , which he directed , in how there had been varied creative efforts with both films . He said , `` Scott Frank 's version was the best , probably the clearest , and the most interesting , but they had abandoned that . '' Liccy Dahl commented that Burton was the first and only director the estate was happy with . He had previously produced another of the author 's adaptations with James and the Giant Peach ( 1996 ) , and , like Roald and Liccy , disliked the 1971 film because it strayed from the book 's storyline . `` As a child , Dahl was the author who I connected to the most . He got the idea of writing a mixture of light and darkness , and not speaking down to kids , and the kind of politically incorrect humor that kids get . I 've always liked that , and it 's shaped everything I 've felt that I 've done . '' Tim Burton During pre-production Burton visited Dahl 's former home in the Buckinghamshire village of Great Missenden . Liccy Dahl remembers Burton entering Dahl 's famed writing shed and saying , `` This is the Buckets ' house ! '' and thinking to herself , `` Thank God , somebody gets it . '' Liccy also showed Burton the original handwritten manuscripts , which Burton discovered were more politically incorrect than the published book . The manuscripts included a child named Herpes , after the sexually transmitted disease . Burton immediately thought of Johnny Depp for the role of Willy Wonka , who in August 2003 joined the film , his fourth collaboration with the director . Lurie 's script received a rewrite by Pamela Pettler , who worked with Burton on Corpse Bride , but the director hired Big Fish screenwriter John August in December 2003 to start from scratch . Both August and Burton were fans of the book since their childhoods . August first read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory when he was eight years old , and subsequently sent Dahl a fan letter . He did not see the 1971 film prior to his hiring , which Burton believed would be fundamental in having August stay closer to the book . The writer updated the Mike Teavee character into an obsessive video game player , as compared to the novel , in which he fantasized about violent crime films . The characters Arthur Slugworth and Prodnose were reduced to brief cameo appearances , while Mr. Beauregarde was entirely omitted . Burton and August also worked together in creating Wilbur Wonka , Willy 's domineering dentist father . Burton thought the paternal character would help explain Willy Wonka himself and that otherwise he would be `` just a weird guy '' . The element of an estranged father - son relationship had previously appeared in Big Fish , similarly directed by Burton and written by August . Warner Bros. and the director held differences over the characterizations of Charlie Bucket and Willy Wonka . The studio wanted to entirely delete Mr. Bucket and make Willy Wonka the idyllic father figure Charlie had longed for his entire life . Burton believed that Wonka would not be a good father , finding the character similar to a recluse . Burton said , `` In some ways , he 's more screwed up than the kids . '' Warner Bros. also wanted Charlie to be a whiz kid , but Burton resisted the characterization . He wanted Charlie to be an average child who would be in the background and not get in trouble . Casting Prior to Burton 's involvement , Warner Bros. considered or discussed Willy Wonka with Bill Murray , Christopher Walken , Steve Martin , Robin Williams , Nicolas Cage , Jim Carrey , Michael Keaton , Robert De Niro , Brad Pitt , Will Smith , Mike Myers , Ben Stiller , Leslie Nielsen , John Cleese , Eric Idle , Michael Palin , Patrick Stewart , and Adam Sandler . Dustin Hoffman and Marilyn Manson reportedly wanted the role as well . Pitt 's production company , Plan B Entertainment , however , stayed on to co-finance the film with Warner Bros. Coincidentally , Cleese , Idle and Palin ( as well as the other three Monty Python members ) had all previously expressed interest in playing Wonka in the 1971 film adaptation . Johnny Depp was the only actor Burton considered for the role , although Dwayne Johnson was Burton 's second choice in case Depp was unavailable . Depp signed on without reading the script under the intention of going with a completely different approach than what Gene Wilder did in the 1971 film adaptation . Depp said regardless of the original film , Gene Wilder 's characterization of Willy Wonka stood out as a unique portrayal . Depp and Burton derived their Willy Wonka from children 's television show hosts such as Bob Keeshan ( Captain Kangaroo ) , Fred Rogers , and Al Lewis from The Uncle Al Show , and Depp also took inspiration from various game show hosts . Burton recalled from his childhood that the characters were bizarre but left lasting impressions . He said , `` It was kind of a strange amalgamation of these weird children 's TV show hosts . '' Depp based Wonka 's look ( exaggerated bob cut and sunglasses ) on Vogue magazine editor Anna Wintour . Comparisons were drawn between Willy Wonka and Michael Jackson . Burton disagreed with the comparisons and said Jackson , unlike Wonka , liked children . Depp said the similarities with Jackson never occurred to him . Instead , he compared Wonka to Howard Hughes due to his `` reclusive , germaphobe , controlling '' nature . Burton agreed with the similarity to Hughes . He also cited Charles Foster Kane from Citizen Kane as an inspiration for Wonka , as Kane is `` somebody who was brilliant but then was traumatized and then retreats into their own world '' . Depp wanted to sport prosthetic makeup for the part and have a long , elongated nose , but Burton believed it would be too outrageous . During production , Gene Wilder , in an interview with The Daily Telegraph , accused the filmmakers of only remaking the 1971 film for the purpose of money . Depp said he was disappointed by Wilder 's comment , and responded that the film was not a remake , but a new adaptation of Dahl 's 1964 book . The casting calls for Charlie Bucket , Violet Beauregarde , Veruca Salt , and Mike Teavee took place in the United States and United Kingdom , while Augustus Gloop 's casting took place in Germany . Burton said he sought actors `` who had something of the character in them '' , and found Mike Teavee the hardest character to cast . Burton was finding trouble casting Charlie , until Depp , who had worked with Freddie Highmore on Finding Neverland , suggested Highmore for the part . Highmore had already read the book before , but decided to read it once more prior to auditioning . The actor did not see the original film adaptation , and chose not to see it until after Burton 's production , so his portrayal would not be influenced . Before Adam Godley was officially cast as Mr. Teavee , Dan Castellaneta , Tim Allen , Ed O'Neill , Bob Saget , and Ray Romano were all considered for the role . It has been rumored that Gregory Peck was considered for the role of Grandpa Joe . Other actors that were considered for Grandpa Joe included Richard Attenborough , Kirk Douglas , Albert Finney , Anthony Hopkins , Paul Newman , Max von Sydow , David Warner , Christopher Lloyd and Peter Ustinov . Filming Principal photography for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory started on June 21 , 2004 at Pinewood Studios in England . Director Tim Burton and composer Danny Elfman found filming somewhat difficult because they were simultaneously working on Corpse Bride . The Wonka Factory exterior was coincidentally constructed on the same backlot Burton had used for Gotham City in Batman ( 1989 ) . The ceremonial scene required 500 local extras . The Chocolate Room / River setpiece filled Pinewood 's 007 Stage . As a consequence of British Equity rules , which state that children can only work four and a half hours a day , filming for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory took six months , ending in December 2004 . Design The architecture of the Bucket family home was influenced by Burton 's visit to Roald Dahl 's writing hut . Like the book , the film has a `` timeless '' setting and is not set in a specific country . `` We 've tried not to pinpoint it to any place , '' production designer Alex McDowell explained . `` The cars , in fact , drive down the middle of the road . '' The town , whose design was shaped by the black and white urban photography of Bill Brandt , as well as Pittsburgh and Northern England , is arranged like a medieval village , with Wonka 's estate on top and the Bucket shack below . The filmmakers also used fascist architecture for Wonka 's factory exterior , and designed most of the sets on 360 ° sound stages , similar to cycloramas . Burton biographer Mark Salisbury wrote that Charlie and the Chocolate Factory `` melds 1950s and ' 70s visuals with a futuristic sensibility that seems straight out of a 1960s sense of the future . '' The `` TV Room '' was patterned after photographs from the films 2001 : A Space Odyssey , Danger : Diabolik , and THX 1138 . Danger Diabolik also served as inspiration for the Nut Room and Inventing Room . Visual effects Tim Burton avoided using too many digital effects because he wanted the younger actors to feel as if they were working in a realistic environment . As a result , forced perspective techniques , oversized props and scale models were used to avoid computer - generated imagery ( CGI ) . Deep Roy was cast to play the Oompa - Loompas based on his previous collaborations with Burton on Planet of the Apes and Big Fish . The actor was able to play various Oompa - Loompas using split screen photography , digital and front projection effects . `` Tim told me that the Oompa - Loompas were strictly programmed , like robots -- all they do is work , work , work , '' Roy commented . `` So when it comes time to dance , they 're like a regiment ; they do the same steps . '' A practical method was considered for the scene in which Violet Beauregarde turns blue and swells up into a giant 10 - foot blueberry . A suit with an air hose was considered at one point for the beginnings of the swelling scene , before the decision was made to do the entire transformation in CGI . The visual effects house Cinesite was recruited for this assignment . In some shots of AnnaSophia Robb 's head , a facial prosthetic was worn to give the impression that her cheeks had swelled up as well . Because this decision was made late in the film 's production , any traces of Violet 's blueberry scene were omitted from trailers or promotional material . Rather than rely on CGI , Burton wanted the 40 squirrels in the Nut Room to be real . The animals were trained every day for 10 weeks before filming commenced . They began their coaching while newborns , fed by bottles to form relationships with human trainers . The squirrels were each taught how to sit upon a little blue bar stool , tap and then open a walnut , and deposit its meat onto a conveyor belt . `` Ultimately , the scene was supplemented by CGI and animatronics , '' Burton said , `` but for the close - ups and the main action , they 're the real thing . '' Wonka 's Viking boat for the Chocolate River sequence floats down a realistic river filled with 192,000 gallons of faux melted chocolate . `` Having seen the first film , we wanted to make the chocolate river look edible , '' McDowell said . `` In the first film , it 's so distasteful . '' The production first considered a CGI river , but Burton was impressed with the artificial substance when he saw how it clung to the boat 's oars . Nine shades of chocolate were tested before Burton settled on the proper hue . Music Further information : Charlie and the Chocolate Factory ( soundtrack ) The original music score was written by Danny Elfman , a frequent collaborator with director Tim Burton . Elfman 's score is based around three primary themes : a gentle family theme for the Buckets , generally set in upper woodwinds ; a mystical , string - driven waltz for Willy Wonka ; and a hyper - upbeat factory theme for full orchestra , Elfman 's homemade synthesizer samples and the diminutive chanting voices of the Oompa - Loompas . Elfman also wrote and performed the vocals for four songs , with pitch changes and modulations to represent different singers . The lyrics to the Oompa - Loompa songs are adapted from the original book , and are thus credited to Roald Dahl . Following Burton 's suggestion , each song in the score is designed to reflect a different archetype . `` Wonka 's Welcome Song '' is a maddeningly cheerful theme park ditty , `` Augustus Gloop '' a Bollywood spectacle ( per Deep Roy 's suggestion ) , `` Violet Beauregarde '' is 1970s funk , `` Veruca Salt '' is 1960s bubblegum pop / psychedelic pop , and `` Mike Teavee '' is a tribute to late 1970s hard rock ( such as Queen ) and early 1980s hair bands . The original motion picture soundtrack was released on July 12 , 2005 by Warner Bros. Records . Release Charlie and the Chocolate Factory had its premiere at the Grauman 's Chinese Theatre , on July 10 , 2005 , where money for the Make - a-Wish Foundation was raised . The film was released in the United States on July 15 , 2005 in 3,770 theaters ( including IMAX theaters ) . Marketing Early in the development of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in February 2000 , Warner Bros. announced their intention of marketing the film with a Broadway theatre musical after release . The studio reiterated their interest in May 2003 , however , the idea was postponed by the time filming began in June 2004 . The main tie - in for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory focused on The Willy Wonka Candy Company , a division of Nestlé . A small range of Wonka Bars were launched , utilizing their prominence in the film . The release of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory also rekindled public interest in Roald Dahl 's 1964 book , and appeared on the New York Times Best Seller list from July 3 to October 23 , 2005 . Box Office Charlie and the Chocolate Factory earned $56,178,450 in its opening weekend , the fifth - highest opening weekend gross for 2005 , and stayed at # 1 for two weeks . The film eventually grossed $206,459,076 in US totals and $268,509,687 in foreign countries , coming to a worldwide total of $474,968,763 . It was the fifty - eighth highest - grossing film of all time when released , as well as seventh - highest for the US and eighth - highest worldwide for the year of 2005 . Critical response Depp 's performance as Willy Wonka received comparisons to Michael Jackson Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes gives the film an approval rating of 83 % based on 222 reviews , with an average rating of 7.2 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` Closer to the source material than 1971 's Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory , Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is for people who like their Chocolate visually appealing and dark . '' On Metacritic the film has a weighted average score of 72 out of 100 , based on 40 critics , indicating `` generally favorable reviews '' . Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` A -- '' on an A+ to F scale . Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly praised Charlie and the Chocolate Factory , writing `` Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka may be a stone freak , but he is also one of Burton 's classic crackpot conjurers , like Beetlejuice or Ed Wood . '' Roger Ebert gave an overall positive review and enjoyed the film . He was primarily impressed by Tim Burton 's direction of the younger cast members , but was disappointed with Depp 's performance : `` What was Depp thinking of ? In Pirates of the Caribbean he was famously channeling Keith Richards , which may have primed us to look for possible inspirations for this performance . '' Mick LaSalle from the San Francisco Chronicle found Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Burton 's `` best work in years . If all the laughs come from Depp , who gives Willy the mannerisms of a classic Hollywood diva , the film 's heart comes from Highmore , a gifted young performer whose performance is sincere , deep and unforced in a way that 's rare in a child actor . '' Peter Travers wrote in Rolling Stone magazine that `` Depp 's deliciously demented take on Willy Wonka demands to be seen . Depp goes deeper to find the bruises on Wonka 's secret heart than what Gene Wilder did . Depp and Burton may fly too high on the vapors of pure imagination , but it 's hard to not get hooked on something this tasty . And how about that army of Oompa - Loompas , all played by Deep Roy , in musical numbers that appear to have been choreographed by Busby Berkeley on crack . '' Ann Hornaday of The Washington Post criticized Depp 's acting . `` The cumulative effect is n't pretty . Nor is it kooky , funny , eccentric or even mildly interesting . Indeed , throughout his fey , simpering performance , Depp seems to be straining so hard for weirdness that the entire enterprise begins to feel like those excruciating occasions when your parents tried to be hip . Aside from Burton 's usual eye - popping direction , the film 's strenuous efforts at becoming a camp classic eventually begin to wear thin . '' In 2007 , Gene Wilder said he chose not to see the film . `` The thing that put me off ... I like Johnny Depp , I like him , as an actor I like him very much ... but when I saw little pieces in the promotion of what he was doing , I said I do n't want to see the film , because I do n't want to be disappointed in him . '' In 2013 , when Wilder was asked about the Burton remake , he said `` I think it 's an insult . It 's probably Warner Bros . ' insult . '' He also criticized the choices that Burton made as a director , saying `` I do n't care for that director . He 's a talented man , but I do n't care for him doing stuff like he did . '' Accolades Costume designer Gabriella Pescucci received an Academy Award nomination , but lost to Colleen Atwood for Memoirs of a Geisha . Johnny Depp lost the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy to Joaquin Phoenix in Walk the Line . More nominations followed from the British Academy Film Awards for Visual Effects , Costume Design ( Pescucci ) , Makeup & Hair ( Peter Owen and Ivana Primorac ) and Production Design ( Alex McDowell ) . Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was also nominated for the Saturn Award for Best Fantasy Film , as well as Performance by a Younger Actor ( Freddie Highmore ) , Music ( Danny Elfman ) and Costume ( Pescucci ) . Elfman and screenwriter John August were nominated for a Grammy Award with `` Wonka 's Welcome Song '' .

I Am Number Four
I Am Number Four - wikipedia I Am Number Four Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the novel . For the film based on this book , see I Am Number Four ( film ) . I Am Number Four The American cover of I Am Number Four : Book 1 Author Pittacus Lore , aka James Frey & Jobie Hughes Country United States Language English Series Lorien Legacies Genre Young adult Science fiction Publisher HarperCollins Publication date August 3 , 2010 Pages 440 ISBN 0 - 06 - 196955 - 9 Followed by The Power of Six I Am Number Four is a young adult science fiction novel by Pittacus Lore ( the pseudonym of James Frey and Jobie Hughes ) and the first book in the Lorien Legacies series . The book was published by HarperCollins on August 3 , 2010 , and spent seven successive weeks at # 1 on the children 's chapter of the New York Times bestseller list . DreamWorks Pictures bought the rights to the film in June 2009 ; it was released on February 18 , 2011 and was the first DreamWorks movie to be distributed by Disney 's Touchstone Pictures . The novel is the first of a seven - book series . Contents ( hide ) 1 Plot synopsis 2 Reception 3 References 4 External links Plot synopsis ( edit ) The prelude includes the killing of one of the Garde children -- No. 3 -- by Mogadorians . This story is about a 15 - year - old boy named John Smith . He has been on the run since the age of 4 , and he is from a planet called Lorien . Most of the book is told in the first person by Number Four , who takes the name John Smith . As the story begins , he and his guardian or Cepân , Henri , learn of the death of Number Three and move to Paradise , Ohio , assuming new identities aka John Smith . There , John befriends conspiracy theorist Sam Goode and `` adopts '' a dog identified by its name tag as `` Bernie Kosar '' . He also meets and is attracted to a fellow student , Sarah Hart , who is working as a photographer . Sarah 's ex-boyfriend , football player Mark James , is a bully who torments both John and Sam . During the Halloween festival Sam mentions that he knows about Mogadorians from a magazine , They Walk Among Us , a revelation that alarms both John and Henri . Mark and his friends organize a nasty surprise during the haunted hayride : Sarah , John and Sam are left stranded in the woods , where Mark plans to beat John up . John uses his `` legacies '' , which are akin to superpowers , to fend off his attackers and rescues Sarah . In the darkness Sarah does not see John use his legacies , and he emphatically warns Mark not to talk ( or to let his friends talk ) about what happened and that he will punish Mark severely if Mark or any of his friends talk . Sarah and John 's relationship develops . Henri continues training John to use his legacies , now with an increasing sense of urgency . Henri is unsettled , and tells John that it is not safe to stay . He is also concerned as John is late in developing his telekinesis , a power that he will need to fight the Mogadorians . Later , it is revealed that Sam has seen enough to arouse his suspicions , but John allays them by bluffingly ' admitting ' to being an alien . He finds out more about the magazine Sam reads by borrowing a copy . Sam speaks of his belief that his father has been abducted by aliens . Henri discovers where the magazine is printed , and drives the two - hour car trip to Athens , Ohio , to find out more . John attends a Thanksgiving dinner with Sarah 's family , but worries about Henri , who does not answer text messages . In his agitated state , John 's telekinetic power manifests , though uncontrolled , and he leaves . He calls Sam for help , and they take Sam 's father 's long - unused truck and head for Athens , where they succeed in rescuing Henri . During the rescue , Sam is made fully aware of John 's and Henri 's alien secret , and John 's legacies develop significantly . On their return , Henri insists they leave Paradise . John refuses , using his new found powers to express his adamance , and Henri relents . A few months pass , during which John trains in the use of his legacies . Henri gradually relaxes as John becomes more adept . At a party at Mark 's house , a major fire breaks out , trapping Sarah , so John uses his powers to rescue her . He then reveals his secret to Sarah , and they lie to the police and a reporter about what happened . Later on , John also lies to Henri , in order not to reveal how much he has told Sarah . But John 's lies are revealed when a video is released on YouTube . Henri is furious , and demands they leave immediately . John again uses his powers to stop him , and desperately races to the school , knowing that Sarah is in danger . He finds Sarah , but the Mogadorians have already arrived . The Mogadorians have brought an enormous beast called Piken , and smaller , but still deadly , creatures called Krauls . These creatures are sent to track and kill the Loric . John and Sarah are joined by Number Six ( who has been looking for them since Three 's death ) and later by Henri , Mark , and Bernie Kosar ( `` the dog '' ) . John sends Mark off , exhorting him to protect Sarah . A furious battle ensues , during which Six exhibits powers of invisibility and control of the weather , and Bernie Kosar is revealed to be a Chimæra . Sam arrives partway through the battle . John kills a soldier , Bernie Kosar battles a Piken , and at key moments John is helped by his human friends , but in the end they are depleted and weakened by numbers and power . Six is wounded and taken to relative safety . John uses an ability he was barely aware of to communicate with a beast brought by the Mogadorians and to turn it against them . Henri is killed , but before dying exhorts John to read a letter he left for him . John survives , though he is very weak , and the Mogadorians are defeated . Promising to return for Sarah , John leaves Paradise , along with Number Six , Sam , and Bernie Kosar . Reception ( edit ) I Am Number Four has received mixed reviews . Kirkus Reviews wrote , `` If it were a Golden Age comic , this tale of ridiculous science , space dogs and humanoid aliens with flashlights in their hands might not be bad . '' The Chicago Tribune said , `` There 's genuine suspense ... it 's easy to get lost in the world of the sweet teen from another planet . '' Booklist reviewed it as , `` Terrifically propulsive . '' Publishers Weekly wrote , `` For those looking for an undemanding , popcorn - ready read , this `` guy -- okay , alien -- gets the girl and saves the world '' adventure should do the trick . '' School Library Journal wrote , `` With its interesting premises and a fast - pace telling , the story will grab readers who are willing to suspend quite a bit of disbelief . Others , who like their science fiction with a bit more science and internal logic , will have to search elsewhere . '' The Horn Book reviewed it as , `` Riveting . '' It was on the number one spot of the New York Times Best Sellers List for 7 weeks and was on it for a total of 17 weeks .

This was the sixth European Cup / Champions League final hosted at an Eastern European venue following those in 1973 in Belgrade , Yugoslavia , the 1983 , 1994 and 2007 finals hosted by Athens , Greece as well as the 2008 final in Moscow , Russia . The Olimpiyskiy Stadium was built in 1923 and it has been renovated three times , most recently in 2011 in preparation for the UEFA Euro 2012 tournament . The stadium was used as a venue in the 1980 Summer Olympics for its football event and the aforementioned European Championship , including the final match , which saw Spain beat Italy by the record - breaking score of 4 -- 0 on the way to their third title . Its current capacity is 70,050 and it is used by the Ukraine national football team , Dynamo Kyiv , and major domestic matches like the Ukrainian Cup . Background ( edit ) Defending champions Real Madrid reached a record 16th final after a 4 -- 3 aggregate win against German side Bayern Munich , knocking them out of the competition for the second consecutive season . This was Real Madrid 's third consecutive final , and fourth final in five tournaments with an opportunity to win a record 13th title . Previously they won finals in 1956 , 1957 , 1958 , 1959 , 1960 , 1966 , 1998 , 2000 , 2002 , 2014 , 2016 and 2017 ; and lost in 1962 , 1964 and 1981 . This was also their 20th final in all seasonal UEFA competitions , having also played in two Cup Winners ' Cup finals ( losing in 1971 and 1983 ) and two UEFA Cup finals ( winning in 1985 and 1986 ) . Real Madrid are only the third team since the competition 's rebranding as the Champions League to reach three consecutive finals after Milan in 1995 and Juventus in 1998 . They are the first team in the Champions League era , and the fourth overall , to win three straight finals , a feat only achieved by the Real Madrid side of the 1950s , as they went on to win a record five successive finals , as well as the Ajax and Bayern Munich squads of the 1970s in 1973 and 1976 , respectively . Liverpool reached their eighth final , their first since 2007 , after a 7 -- 6 aggregate win against Italian side Roma . They have won the final on five occasions ( 1977 , 1978 , 1981 , 1984 and 2005 ) , and have lost twice ( 1985 and 2007 ) . This was also their 13th final in UEFA seasonal competitions , having played in one Cup Winners ' Cup final ( losing in 1966 ) and four UEFA Cup / Europa League finals ( winning in 1973 , 1976 and 2001 ; and losing in 2016 ) . Liverpool were the first team since Bayern Munich in 2011 -- 12 to reach the final having qualified for the competition through the play - off round . This was also the most recent occasion the final featured an English team ( Chelsea ) . Liverpool were the most recent team to defeat Real Madrid in a European Cup Final , winning 1 -- 0 in Paris in 1981 . Besides the 1981 final , the two teams have played each other four times in the Champions League era . Liverpool won both matches in the 2008 -- 09 UEFA Champions League round of 16 , while Real Madrid won both matches in the 2014 -- 15 UEFA Champions League group stage .

Dua Lipa 2018 UEFA Champions League Final Opening Ceremony Setlist `` One Kiss '' `` No Lie '' ( with Sean Paul ) `` Be the One '' `` IDGAF '' `` New Rules '' Related events ( edit ) The 2018 UEFA Women 's Champions League Final was held two days earlier , on 24 May 2018 , at the Valeriy Lobanovskyi Dynamo Stadium between Wolfsburg and Lyon , Lyon emerging victorious 4 -- 1 . This was also the last time that the host city for the men 's Champions League final was also automatically assigned the Women 's Champions League final . The annual UEFA Champions Festival was held between 24 -- 27 May 2018 at the Kiev city centre . Incidents ( edit ) In late May , The New York Times reported that some fans with allocated tickets had returned them after having trouble finding flights to and accommodation in Kiev . Locals in Kiev began offering free accommodation for fans affected by cancelled hotel and apartment arrangements . Several charter flights arranged for Liverpool fans were cancelled , leaving fans with tickets stranded and leading to an unsuccessful search for alternative solutions by the club and city government . Other airlines offered flights to Kiev from airports in Liverpool and Manchester , using assigned slots at Kiev 's airports . On 24 May , a group of Liverpool fans were attacked in a restaurant by 20 masked hooligans . Match ( edit ) Officials ( edit ) On 7 May 2018 , UEFA announced that Serbian Milorad Mažić would officiate the final . Mažić has been a FIFA referee since 2009 , and gained UEFA 's elite referee status in 2013 . He was joined by his fellow countrymen , with Milovan Ristić and Dalibor Đurdević as assistant referees , Nenad Đokić and Danilo Grujić as additional assistant referees , and Nemanja Petrović as reserve assistant referee . The fourth official for the final was Frenchman Clément Turpin . Summary ( edit ) Gareth Bale entered the match as a substitute in the 61st minute and scored two goals for Madrid The match began with Liverpool 's kickoff and the team 's successive attacks to counter Madrid 's slower , possession - based buildup . In the 23rd minute , a low shot by Trent Alexander - Arnold went through a defender 's legs and forced a late save by Keylor Navas . Two minutes later , Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah was injured competing for the ball with Sergio Ramos , who had locked Salah 's arm resulting in a fall . Due to a dislocated shoulder , Salah was substituted four minutes later for Adam Lallana . Madrid 's Dani Carvajal was substituted in the 37th minute with a hamstring injury after an attempted backheel . Minutes later , Karim Benzema 's goal was disallowed after he was determined to be offside while finishing a shot started by Cristiano Ronaldo 's header . The first half ended scoreless , with Madrid dominating possession but Liverpool having more chances to score . The second half began with a shot by Isco , who hit the crossbar . In the 51st minute , Benzema scored the match 's first goal by deflecting a throw by Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius . Liverpool equalised four minutes later with a tap - in by Sadio Mané , who finished a header by Dejan Lovren during a corner kick . Gareth Bale was substituted in for Isco in the 61st minute and scored Madrid 's second goal two minutes later , using an acrobatic bicycle kick to finish a cross by Marcelo . Liverpool pressed for a second equalising goal , with a shot by Mané that hit the goal post and calls for a penalty for an alleged handball , but were also losing possession to Madrid . Ronaldo had a chance to score his first goal of the match during a counterattack in the 73rd minute , but was tackled by Liverpool defender Andrew Robertson in the penalty box . Bale scored his second goal of the match in the 83rd minute on a 40 - yard ( 37 m ) shot that was mishandled by Karius . A second chance on goal for Ronaldo in the 93rd minute of play was interrupted by a pitch invader , who was captured by stadium stewards . Details ( edit ) The `` home '' team ( for administrative purposes ) was determined by an additional draw held after the semi-final draw , which was held on 13 April 2018 , 13 : 00 CEST , at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon , Switzerland . 26 May 2018 ( 2018 - 05 - 26 ) 21 : 45 EEST Real Madrid 3 -- 1 Liverpool Benzema 51 ' Bale 64 ' , 83 ' Report Mané 55 ' NSC Olimpiyskiy Stadium , Kiev Attendance : 61,561 Referee : Milorad Mažić ( Serbia ) Real Madrid Liverpool GK Keylor Navas RB Dani Carvajal 37 ' CB 5 Raphaël Varane CB Sergio Ramos ( c ) LB 12 Marcelo CM 10 Luka Modrić CM 14 Casemiro CM 8 Toni Kroos AM 22 Isco 61 ' CF 9 Karim Benzema 89 ' CF 7 Cristiano Ronaldo Substitutes : GK 13 Kiko Casilla DF 6 Nacho 37 ' DF 15 Theo Hernández MF 20 Marco Asensio 89 ' MF 23 Mateo Kovačić FW 11 Gareth Bale 61 ' FW 17 Lucas Vázquez Manager : Zinedine Zidane GK Loris Karius RB 66 Trent Alexander - Arnold CB 6 Dejan Lovren CB Virgil van Dijk LB 26 Andrew Robertson CM 7 James Milner 83 ' CM 14 Jordan Henderson ( c ) CM 5 Georginio Wijnaldum RF 11 Mohamed Salah 31 ' CF 9 Roberto Firmino LF 19 Sadio Mané 82 ' Substitutes : GK 22 Simon Mignolet DF Nathaniel Clyne DF 17 Ragnar Klavan DF 18 Alberto Moreno MF 20 Adam Lallana 31 ' MF 23 Emre Can 83 ' FW 29 Dominic Solanke Manager : Jürgen Klopp Man of the Match : Gareth Bale ( Real Madrid ) Assistant referees : Milovan Ristić ( Serbia ) Dalibor Đurđević ( Serbia ) Fourth official : Clément Turpin ( France ) Additional assistant referees : Nenad Đokić ( Serbia ) Danilo Grujić ( Serbia ) Reserve assistant referee : Nemanja Petrović ( Serbia ) Match rules 90 minutes . 30 minutes of extra time if necessary .

The title was Madrid 's 13th , another Champions League record , and their fourth in five years . Real Madrid 's victory was the fifth consecutive title for a Spanish side in the Champions League , becoming the longest run for the trophy to be held by teams from the same country since English sides won six consecutive titles between 1977 and 1982 . Manager Zinedine Zidane became the first to win three consecutive Champions League titles and matched Carlo Ancelotti 's record of Champions League era wins . Five days after the final , Zidane announced that he would step down as manager in favour of a `` different voice '' . Cristiano Ronaldo became the first player to win the Champions League five times , surpassing the record set by Clarence Seedorf in 2007 and by Andrés Iniesta in 2015 . Gareth Bale became the first substitute to score two goals in a Champions League final and was named man of the match . His first goal received acclaim as one of the best in Champions League history and was compared to Ronaldo 's bicycle kick goal against Juventus in the quarter - final and manager Zinedine Zidane 's goal in the 2002 final . Sergio Ramos 's tackle on Mohamed Salah received mixed reactions from the press and fans on whether the injury was the result of a deliberate blow or an accident . Egyptian fans responded with anger on social media , including insults that became trending topics on Twitter . A Change.org petition calling on UEFA and FIFA to punish Ramos for the challenge received 400,000 signatures within two days . A separate incident involving Ramos and Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius raised questions after a video showed him allegedly elbowing Karius in the face prior to his first goalkeeping error . UEFA declined to take action against Ramos for the incident with Karius . After an examination , on 4 June 2018 , physiatrist Ross Zafonte at the Massachusetts General Hospital said in a statement that Karius suffered a concussion during the match and that , according to him , it was possible the concussion would affect the player 's performance . Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp lost his sixth of seven major finals , including Champions League and league cups . After the match , Loris Karius tearfully apologised to Liverpool supporters who remained in the stands and stated that his mistakes `` lost the team the final '' . After the match , Karius received online death threats and hate messages directed at him and his family .

Can't Buy Me Love (film)
Ca n't Buy Me Love ( film ) - wikipedia Ca n't Buy Me Love ( film ) Ca n't Buy Me Love Theatrical release poster Directed by Steve Rash Produced by Thom Mount Written by Michael Swerdlick Starring Patrick Dempsey Amanda Peterson Dennis Dugan Music by Robert Folk Cinematography Peter Lyons Collister Edited by Jeff Gourson Production company Touchstone Pictures Silver Screen Partners III Apollo Pictures The Mount Company Distributed by Buena Vista Pictures Release date August 14 , 1987 ( 1987 - 08 - 14 ) Running time 94 minutes Country United States Language English Box office $31.6 million Ca n't Buy Me Love is a 1987 American teen romantic comedy feature film starring Patrick Dempsey and Amanda Peterson in a story about a nerd at a high school in Tucson , Arizona who gives a cheerleader $1,000 to pretend to be his girlfriend for a month . The film was directed by Steve Rash and takes its title from a Beatles song with the same title . Contents 1 Plot 2 Cast 3 Production notes 4 Critical reception 5 Awards 6 Soundtrack 7 Remake 8 References 9 External links Plot ( edit ) Ronald Miller is a typical high school nerd living in suburban Tucson , Arizona . He has spent all summer mowing lawns to save up for a telescope . At an opportune moment , he makes a deal with next - door neighbor and popular cheerleader Cynthia `` Cindy '' Mancini . Cindy had borrowed her mother 's expensive suede outfit without permission , to wear to a party , only to have Quint accidentally spill red wine on it . Cindy reluctantly agrees to help Ronald look `` cool '' by pretending to be his girlfriend for a month for $1000 , even though she already has a boyfriend named Bobby who is attending the University of Iowa . Ronald then trades his nerdy , yet loyal , friends for the popular , but shallow , students , and undergoes a complete clothing and hair makeover under Cindy 's direction . Over time , a bond develops between the two . She lets him read a poem she wrote that means a great deal to her . He reveals his interests in astronomy and space travel . On the last date which Ronald has `` paid '' for , Cindy hints that she would like to kiss him , but he misunderstands . They dramatically `` break up '' in front of a crowd at school , but Ronald takes things too far and says some hurtful things about Cindy in front of their friends . She becomes cool and distant , but warns him that popularity is hard work and he needs to make sure that he `` stays ( him ) self '' . The next day , she sees him behaving arrogantly at school , and becomes jealous when she sees him flirting with her best friends Barbara and Patty . He takes Patty to a dance at school , where he performs a dance he learned from an African cultural show on public television . At first , the other kids are mystified , but they soon join in , and Ronald 's new `` trendy '' dancing further increases his popularity . On Halloween night , he and some other boys drive to the house of Kenneth , Ronald 's best friend , where the jocks test his loyalty by coercing him to hurl dog feces at Kenneth 's house . Kenneth is lying in wait and catches Ronald , but lets him go before his dad can call the police . Kenneth ignores Ronald the next day at school . At a New Year 's Eve party at Big John 's house , Ronald starts drinking and has sex with his date Iris in the bathroom . Cindy walks by and hears Ronald reciting to Iris her special poem . Devastated , she starts drinking even more . Later , as a surprise , Cindy 's boyfriend , Bobby , shows up at the party . After he learns about her relationship with Ronald , he breaks up with her . She tries to explain the situation , but he still walks out on her . In anger and frustration , she tells the party - goers the truth . Rejected and dejected , Ronald leaves and spends the night in his garage , crying himself to sleep . When school resumes , he finds himself ostracized by both the `` jocks '' and the nerds . His attempts to reconcile with both Cindy and Kenneth are rebuffed . Ronald gets an opportunity to redeem himself . Kenneth , helping Patty with her math homework , is ordered by Quint to go back to his side of the cafeteria or receive a serious beating . Ronald intervenes , threatening to break Quint 's pitching arm if he does not leave Kenneth alone . Ronald points out that the three were all friends at one time : when they were nine , Quint fell out of their tree house and broke his arm . Kenneth and Ronald carried him twelve blocks to the hospital . Ronald confesses he was desperate to run with the popular crowd , but had messed up by trying to buy his way in . Ronald goes on to say that the cool / nerd dynamic is `` all bullshit , it 's tough enough just being yourself '' , and walks away . Quint apologizes to Kenneth and the two shake hands as the whole school applauds . Following the incident , Cindy recognizes Ronald 's worth and hops on the back of his riding lawn mower . He asks her to prom , and the two kiss as the title song plays . The two of them ride off into the sunset on the lawn mower . Cast ( edit ) Patrick Dempsey as Ronald Miller Amanda Peterson as Cindy Mancini Tina Caspary as Barbara Darcy DeMoss as Patty Cort McCown as Quint Eric Bruskotter as Big John Gerardo Mejía as Ricky Courtney Gains as Kenneth Wurman Seth Green as Chuck Miller Sharon Farrell as Mrs. Mancini Dennis Dugan as David Miller Cloyce Morrow as Judy Miller Devin DeVasquez as Iris Ami Dolenz as Fran Will Hannah as Camera Salesman Lisa Givens as Bambi La Brock Production notes ( edit ) The film was shot on location in Tucson , Arizona , at Tucson High Magnet School ( then known as Tucson High School ) . The choreography is by Paula Abdul , who makes an uncredited appearance as a dancer . On a date where the main characters begin to bond , they jump the perimeter wall and explore the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group Aircraft Bone Yard on Davis -- Monthan Air Force Base that contains 4,400 aircraft . Although the characters say they jump the fence at 309 AMARG ( The Boneyard ) the actual scene looks more like it was shot at Bob 's Air Park , an aircraft recycler just outside the Boneyard , which has since been sold . Critical reception ( edit ) Ca n't Buy Me Love received mixed reviews from critics . Caryn James , in The New York Times , wrote that the film missed its mark and traded its potential originality for a bid at popularity : `` Michael Swerdlick , the writer , and Steve Rash , the director ... waste a chance to make the much deeper , funnier movie that strains to break through . ( The film ) ... has an identity crisis that 's a mirror - image of Ronald 's own . He thinks he wants popularity at any price , though he 's really a sincere guy . The film thinks it wants to be sincere , when all it truly wants is to be popular , just like the other kids ' movies , so it sells off its originality . '' Roger Ebert gave the film a half star out of a possible 4 : `` If ' Ca n't Buy Me Love ' had been intended as a satirical attack on American values -- if cynicism had been its target -- we might be on to something here . But no . On the basis of the evidence , the people who made this movie are so materialistic they actually think this is a ' teenage comedy ' . Ca n't they see the screenplay 's rotten core ? '' Rotten Tomatoes has a rating of 50 % based on 22 critics . In 2006 , it ranked number 41 on Entertainment Weekly 's list of the 50 Best High School Movies . Awards ( edit ) Young Artist Award Won : Best Young Actor in a Motion Picture -- Comedy , Patrick Dempsey Nominated : Best Young Actress in a Motion Picture -- Comedy , Amanda Peterson Nominated : Best Young Actress in a Motion Picture -- Comedy , Tina Caspary Nominated : Best Family Motion Picture -- Comedy Soundtrack ( edit ) In 2013 Intrada Records released Robert Folk 's complete score for the film on a limited edition CD paired with David Newman 's work for Paradise . Remake ( edit ) In 2003 , Ca n't Buy Me Love was remade as Love Do n't Cost a Thing starring Nick Cannon and Christina Milian . Though the triggering event differs between the two movies , many of the aspects / scenes from the original film are reinterpreted in this remake , such as the eating of raw egg in the Home Economics classroom , as well as the cheerleader telling the bully that he is sitting in the wrong section in the cafeteria that he ( the bully ) need to sit in the `` asshole section '' of the cafeteria .

Miller Kristen Wiig Music by John Powell Edited by Darren T. Holmes Maryann Brandon Production company DreamWorks Animation Distributed by Paramount Pictures Release date March 26 , 2010 ( 2010 - 03 - 26 ) Running time 98 minutes Country United States Language English Budget $165 million Box office $495.8 million How to Train Your Dragon is a 2010 American 3D computer - animated action - fantasy film produced by DreamWorks Animation and distributed by Paramount Pictures .

Hiccup , the awkward fifteen - year - old son of the village chieftain , Stoick the Vast , is too small to fight the dragons and instead fashions mechanical devices under his apprenticeship with Gobber the blacksmith , though his inventions often backfire . During one attack , Hiccup believes he has shot down a Night Fury , an extremely rare and dangerous dragon . Hiccup later finds it in the forest trapped in his bolas , but finds that he ca n't bring himself to kill the dragon and instead sets it free . Stoick assembles a fleet to find the dragons ' nest , leaving Hiccup in a dragon - fighting class taught by Gobber . Hiccup returns to the forest to find the Night Fury still there , and realizes it is unable to fly properly because of its crippled caudal fin . Hiccup gradually tames the dragon and gives it the name `` Toothless '' , for its retractable teeth . Hiccup makes a harness and prosthetic fin that allows him to guide the dragon in free flight . By studying Toothless 's behavior , Hiccup becomes proficient in subduing the captive dragons during training . Stoick 's fleet arrives home unsuccessful , but he is cheered by Hiccup 's unexpected success . Astrid , a tough Viking girl on whom Hiccup has a crush , discovers Hiccup is training Toothless , but Hiccup takes her for a ride to demonstrate his relationship with the dragon before she can tell the village . Toothless unexpectedly takes the pair to the dragons ' nest where they discover a gargantuan dragon named the Red Death , which eats the smaller dragons unless they bring it stolen livestock . Back at the village , Hiccup subdues a captive dragon in his final training test in front of his father instead of killing it , but Stoick 's insistence of killing the dragon makes the Monstrous Nightmare revert into its regular state into attacking Hiccup . Toothless attempts to protect Hiccup in the ensuing panic but is instead captured by the Vikings . After a minor arguments , Hiccup accidentally reveals to Stoick that Toothless is capable of locating the dragons ' nest . Stoick angrily disowns Hiccup as his son and sets off for the nest with Toothless chained to the lead ship as a guide . The Vikings expel most of the dragons but are overwhelmed by the Red Death until Hiccup , Astrid and their fellow pupils fly in riding the training dragons from the academy and provide cover fire . Hiccup almost drowns trying to break Toothless free from a sinking ship but Stoick saves them both and then apologizes to his son for disowning him . Toothless and Hiccup destroy the Red Death but Hiccup is injured in the fight . Hiccup regains consciousness on Berk where his lower left leg has been replaced by a prosthesis , and the Vikings and the dragons now live in harmony . Voice cast ( edit ) Jay Baruchel as Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III : companion of Toothless , a Night Fury . Producer Bonnie Arnold declared that Hiccup 's appeal emerges from Baruchel 's voice acting and the character 's mannerisms making him a `` slightly offbeat character . '' Gerard Butler as Stoick the Vast , the chieftain of the Viking tribe and Hiccup 's father . A fierce , immensely strong and utterly fearless , warrior . Director Chris Sanders described Stoick as `` representing everything that 's Viking '' , and thus a very important character in how he intimidates his son Hiccup . Butler considered that `` half my career led me into playing a role like this , '' particularly Beowulf & Grendel , which is set in the Viking age , and was trying to avoid depicting Stoick as villainous , instead aiming for `` a character that we can all identify , he 's not just big and tough , also vulnerable . '' Craig Ferguson as Gobber the Belch : blacksmith , a close friend of Stoick 's , and training master of the young warriors . He is the mediator between Hiccup and Stoick . He is missing his right foot and his left hand , the latter of which he has replaced with a variety of specialized prosthetics . Director Dean DeBlois said Gobber 's characterization drew a lot from how Ferguson 's comedic routine `` takes a really dark situation and phrases it in a way there 's always a punchline . '' America Ferrera as Astrid Hofferson , Hiccup 's fellow student . DreamWorks had long been interested in having Ferrera voicing one of their movies and , once invited , the actress picked up Cressida Cowell 's book , which made her accept the job . Bonnie Arnold complimented how Ferrera `` has a strong voice , but also a lot of heart in it '' that helped make Astrid sympathetic even as she continued being rough to Hiccup . Christopher Mintz - Plasse as Fishlegs Ingerman : an enthusiastic youth , knowledgeable in dragon lore narrated role - playing game terms . Bonnie Arnold declared Mintz - Plasse 's voice made them immediately think of Fishlegs , as the character 's big frame needed something to contrast , and the actor 's `` squeaky , small voice '' was perfect to complement a `` dragon nerd '' . Jonah Hill as Snotlout Jorgenson , one of Hiccup 's dragon - training classmates . Snotlout is brash , overconfident , and fairly unintelligent , but reliable . T.J. Miller and Kristen Wiig as Tuffnut and Ruffnut Thorston , a pair of quarrelsome twins . David Tennant as Spitelout . A Viking who is not named in the film , he appears to be Stoick 's second - in - command and Snotlout 's father . Tennant has previously narrated a series of Hiccup adventures on audio book . Robin Atkin Downes as Ack Philip McGrade as Starkard Kieron Elliot as Hoark the Haggard Ashley Jensen as Phlegma the Fierce Production ( edit ) Early production concept artwork of `` Toothless '' and `` Hiccup '' The book series by Cressida Cowell began coming to attention to the executives at DreamWorks Animation in 2004 . Coming off her success in Over the Hedge , producer Bonnie Arnold shortly became interested in the newly acquired property . She kept focusing on the project as time went on , and when DreamWorks Animation co-president of production Bill Damaschke asked her what she wanted to work on next , she chose `` How to Train Your Dragon '' . In initial development , the plot followed the original novel closely , but about halfway through production Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois , the writer - directors of Disney 's Lilo & Stitch , took over as co-directors and it was altered . The original plot was described as , `` heavily loyal to the book '' , but was regarded as being too `` sweet '' and `` whimsical '' as well as geared towards a too - young demographic , according to Baruchel . In the novel , Hiccup 's dragon , Toothless , is a Common or Garden Dragon , a small breed . In the film , Toothless is a Night Fury , the rarest of all dragons , and is large enough to serve as a flying mount for both Hiccup and Astrid . The filmmakers hired cinematographer Roger Deakins ( known for frequently collaborating with the Coen brothers ) as a visual consultant to help them with lighting and overall look of the film and to `` add a live - action feel '' . Extensive research was done to depict both flight , as the directors knew they would be the biggest draw of the film 's 3D effects , and fire , given animation could break away from the limitations seen in live - action films , where propane flames are usual due to being easier to extinguish . The dragons ' design made sure to create animals that were comical and also innovative compared to other dragon fiction . Toothless in particular tried to combine various dragon traits in a black panther - inspired design , that also had large ears and eyes to convey emotion better . The directors made sure to cash in the improvisation abilities of the secondary cast -- Christopher Mintz - Plasse , Jonah Hill , Kristen Wiig and T.J Miller -- by frequently bringing them together in the recording sessions . Music ( edit ) Main article : How to Train Your Dragon : Music from the Motion Picture John Powell returned to DreamWorks Animation to score How to Train Your Dragon , making it his sixth collaboration with the studio , following his previous score for Kung Fu Panda ( which he scored with Hans Zimmer ) . Powell composed an orchestral score , combining bombastic brass with loud percussion and soothing strings , while also using exotic , Scottish and Irish tones with instruments like the penny whistle and bagpipes . Additionally , Icelandic singer Jónsi wrote and performed the song `` Sticks & Stones '' for the film . The score was released by Varèse Sarabande on March 23 , 2010 . Overall , the score was well received by film score critics . Powell earned his first Academy Award nomination for his work on the film , ultimately losing to Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross for their score for The Social Network . Release ( edit ) How to Train Your Dragon had its United States premiere on March 21 , 2010 , at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City , California . It was theatrically released on March 26 , 2010 , in the United States . The film was digitally re-mastered into IMAX 3D , and released to 186 North American IMAX theatres , and approximately 80 IMAX theatres outside North America . Competition for 3D screens ( edit ) A month before the release , DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg protested Warner Bros . ' decision to convert Clash of the Titans from 2D to 3D , then to release it one week after How to Train Your Dragon . Entertainment reporter Kim Masters described the 3D release schedule around March 2010 as a `` traffic jam '' , and speculated that the lack of 3D screen availability could hurt Katzenberg 's prospects despite his support of the 3D format . In March 2010 , theater industry executives accused Paramount of using high - pressure tactics to coerce theaters to screen How to Train Your Dragon rather than the competing 3D releases , Clash of the Titans and Tim Burton 's Alice in Wonderland . As theater multiplexes often had just one 3D screen , theaters were unable to accommodate more than one 3D presentation at a time . Box - Office ( edit ) How to Train Your Dragon topped the North American box office with $43.7 million in its first weekend of release . The film grossed $217,581,231 in the United States and Canada and $277,297,528 in foreign countries with a worldwide total of $494,878,759 . How to Train Your Dragon is DreamWorks Animation 's highest - grossing film in the American and Canadian box office other than the Shrek films . It is the fifth - highest - grossing animated film of 2010 with $494.8 million , behind Toy Story 3 with $1,063.2 million , Shrek Forever After with $752.6 million , Tangled with $576.6 million , and Despicable Me with $543.1 million and the 10th - highest - grossing movie of 2010 . Critical reception ( edit ) How To Train Your Dragon received critical acclaim upon its release . Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that 98 % of critics gave the film a positive review , based on 200 reviews from professional critics , with an overall rating average of 7.9 out of 10 . The site 's general consensus is that , `` Boasting dazzling animation , a script with surprising dramatic depth , and thrilling 3 - D sequences , How to Train Your Dragon soars . '' By `` Tomatometer '' score , the film is DreamWorks Animation 's highest - rated film . On Metacritic , which assigns a weighted mean rating out of 0 -- 100 reviews from film critics , the film has a rating score of 74 based on 33 reviews , indicating ' Generally favorable reviews . ' CinemaScore polls conducted during the opening weekend revealed the average grade cinemagoers gave How to Train Your Dragon was A on an A+ to F scale . Roger Ebert of The Chicago Sun - Times gave it 3 stars out of 4 , stating that : `` It devotes a great deal of time to aerial battles between tamed dragons and evil ones , and not much to character or story development . But it 's bright , good - looking , and has high energy '' . Claudia Puig of USA Today gave it 3.5 out of 4 stars , saying , `` It 's a thrilling action - adventure saga with exhilarating 3 - D animation , a clever comedy with witty dialogue , a coming - of - age tale with surprising depth and a sweetly poignant tale of friendship between man and animal . '' Rolling Stone film critic Peter Travers praised the film , giving it three out of four stars and in his print review wrote , `` ( The film ) works enough miracles of 3 - D animation to charm your socks off . '' Roger Moore of The Orlando Sentinel , who gave the film 21⁄2 stars out of 4 , wrote a mixed review describing the film as a `` more coming - of - age dramedy or ' everything about your world view is wrong ' message movie than it is a comedy , and that seems like a waste of a funny book , some very funny actors and some darned witty animation . '' Kyle Smith of the New York Post gave the film 2 / 4 stars labeling the film as , `` Avatar for simpletons . But that title is already taken , by Avatar '' . Contrarily , Brett Michel of The Boston Phoenix stated that the film was better than Avatar . A.O. Scott of At The Movies felt the characters and the story were not strong points , but loved the cinematography and said , `` that swooping and soaring , they are worth the price of a ticket , so go see it . '' Village Voice film critic Ella Taylor gave a more negative review of the film , describing it as an `` adequate but unremarkable animated tale '' . Film critic James Berardinelli of ReelViews praised the film and its story , giving it 3.5 out of 4 stars he wrote , `` Technically proficient and featuring a witty , intelligent , surprisingly insightful script , How to Train Your Dragon comes close to the level of Pixar 's recent output while easily exceeding the juvenilia DreamWorks has released in the last nine years . '' Entertainment Weekly film critic Owen Gleiberman praised the film giving it an A - and wrote , `` How to Train Your Dragon rouses you in conventional ways , but it 's also the rare animated film that uses 3 - D for its breathtaking spatial and emotional possibilities . '' ViewLondon 's Mathew Turner gave the film 4 / 5 stars , calling it , `` beautifully animated and superbly written '' , and praised the voice cast , humor , and action . Matt Risley of Variety gave the film a perfect score of 5 / 5 stars , hailing it as , `` undoubtedly Dreamworks ' best film yet , and quite probably the best dragon movie ever made '' .

where do they live in how to train your dragon
[ "The Isle of Berk is a remote Viking village, from which dragons periodically steal livestock. Hiccup, the awkward fifteen-year-old son of the village chieftain, Stoick the Vast, is too small to fight the dragons and instead fashions mechanical devices under his apprenticeship with Gobber the blacksmith, though his inventions often backfire. During one attack, Hiccup believes he has shot down a Night Fury, an extremely rare and dangerous dragon. Hiccup later finds it in the forest trapped in his bolas, but finds that he can't bring himself to kill the dragon and instead sets it free." ]

The history of Microsoft began on April 4 , 1975 , when it was founded by Bill Gates and Paul Allen in Albuquerque , New Mexico . Its current best - selling products are the Microsoft Windows operating system , Microsoft Office suite of productivity software , Xbox , a line of entertainment of games , music and video and Bing , a line of search engines . In 1980 , Microsoft formed a partnership with IBM to bundle Microsoft 's operating system with IBM computers , paying Microsoft a royalty for every sale . In 1985 , IBM requested that Microsoft write a new operating system for their computers called OS / 2 . Microsoft wrote the operating system , but also continued to sell their own alternative , which proved to be in direct competition with OS / 2 . Microsoft Windows eventually overshadowed OS / 2 in terms of sales . When Microsoft launched several versions of Microsoft Windows in the 1990s , they had captured over 90 % market share of the world 's personal computers . As of June 30 , 2015 , Microsoft has a global annual revenue of $86.83 Billion USD and 128,076 employees worldwide . It develops , manufactures , licenses , and supports a wide range of software products for computing devices .

Allen and Gates saw potential to develop an implementation of the programming language BASIC interpreter for the system . Bill Gates called the creators of the new microcomputer , Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems ( MITS ) , offering to demonstrate the implementation in order to win a contract with the company . Allen and Gates had neither an interpreter nor an Altair system , yet in the eight weeks before the demo , they developed an interpreter . When Allen flew to Albuquerque to meet with MITS , the interpreter worked and MITS agreed to distribute Altair BASIC . Allen and Gates left Boston , where Allen worked for Honeywell and Gates was enrolled in Harvard , moved to Albuquerque ( where MITS was located ) , and co-founded Microsoft there . Revenues of the company totaled $16,005 by the end of 1976 . Allen came up with the original name of Micro-Soft , a portmanteau of microcomputer and software . Hyphenated in its early incarnations , on November 26 , 1976 the company was registered under that name with the Secretary of State of New Mexico . The company 's first international office was founded on November 1 , 1978 , in Japan , entitled `` ASCII Microsoft '' ( now called `` Microsoft Japan '' ) , and on November 29 , 1979 , the term , `` Microsoft '' was first used by Bill Gates . On January 1 , 1979 , the company moved from Albuquerque to a new home in Bellevue , Washington , since it was hard to recruit top programmers to Albuquerque . Shortly before the move , eleven of the then - thirteen employees posed for the staff photo on the right . Steve Ballmer joined the company on June 11 , 1980 , and would later succeed Bill Gates as CEO from January 2000 until February 2014 . The company restructured on June 25 , 1981 , to become an incorporated business in its home state of Washington ( with a further change of its name to `` Microsoft Corporation , Inc . '' ) . As part of the restructuring , Bill Gates became president of the company and chairman of the board , and Paul Allen became Executive Vice President . Microsoft 's early products were different variants of Microsoft BASIC which was the dominant programming language in late 1970s and early 1980s home computers such as Apple II ( Applesoft BASIC ) and Commodore 64 ( Commodore BASIC ) , and were also provided with early versions of the IBM PC as the IBM Cassette BASIC . Microsoft also marketed through an Apple dealer in West Palm Beach , Florida two products for the Radio - Shack TRS - 80 . One was `` Typing Tutor '' which led the user through learning to use a keyboard . The other was authored by a professor at the University of Hawaii called `` MuMATH '' and had the ability to do mathematics in long integer math to avoid floating point numbers . In this sense it was similar to the early ARPANET . The first hardware product was the Z - 80 SoftCard which enabled the Apple II to run the CP / M operating system , at the time an industry - standard operating system for running business software and many compilers and interpreters for several high - level languages on microcomputers . The SoftCard was first demonstrated publicly at the West Coast Computer Faire in March 1980 . It was an immediate success ; 5,000 cards , a large number given the microcomputer market at the time , were purchased in the initial three months at $349 each and it was Microsoft 's number one revenue source in 1980 . The first operating system publicly released by the company was a variant of Unix announced on August 25 , 1980 . Acquired from AT&T through a distribution license , Microsoft dubbed it Xenix , and hired Santa Cruz Operation in order to port / adapt the operating system to several platforms . This Unix variant would become home to the first version of Microsoft 's word processor , Microsoft Word . Originally titled `` Multi-Tool Word '' , Microsoft Word became notable for its use of `` What You See Is What You Get '' , or WYSIWYG pioneered by the Xerox Alto and the Bravo text editor in the 1970s . Word was first released in the spring of 1983 , and free demonstration copies of the application were bundled with the November 1983 issue of PC World , making it the first program to be distributed on - disk with a magazine . However , Xenix was never sold to end users directly although it was licensed to many software OEMs for resale . It grew to become the most popular version of Unix , measured by the number of machines running it ( note that Unix is a multi-user operating system , allowing simultaneous access to a machine by several users ) . By the mid-1980s Microsoft had gotten out of the Unix business , except for an interest in SCO . DOS ( Disk Operating System ) was the operating system that brought the company its real success . IBM first approached Microsoft about its upcoming IBM Personal Computer ( IBM PC ) in July 1980 . On August 12 , 1981 , after negotiations with Digital Research failed , IBM awarded a contract to Microsoft to provide a version of the CP / M operating system , which was set to be used in the IBM PC . For this deal , Microsoft purchased a CP / M clone called 86 - DOS from Tim Paterson of Seattle Computer Products for less than US $100,000 , which IBM renamed to IBM PC DOS . Microsoft did not have an operating system when they closed the deal with IBM and IBM had not done their homework . Due to potential copyright infringement problems with CP / M , IBM marketed both CP / M and PC DOS for US $240 and US $40 , respectively , with PC DOS eventually becoming the standard because of its lower price . 35 of the company 's 100 employees worked on the IBM project for more than a year . When the IBM PC debuted , Microsoft was the only company that offered operating system , programming language , and application software for the new computer . InfoWorld stated in 1984 that Microsoft , with $55 million in 1983 sales , is widely recognized as the most influential company in the microcomputer - software industry . Claiming more than a million installed MS - DOS machines , founder and chairman Bill Gates has decided to certify Microsoft 's jump on the rest of the industry by dominating applications , operating systems , peripherals and , most recently , book publishing . Some insiders say Microsoft is attempting to be the IBM of the software industry . In 1983 , in collaboration with numerous companies , Microsoft created a home computer system , MSX , which contained its own version of the DOS operating system , called MSX - DOS ; this became relatively popular in Japan , Europe and South America . Later , the market saw a flood of IBM PC clones after Columbia Data Products successfully cloned the IBM BIOS , quickly followed by Eagle Computer and Compaq . The deal with IBM allowed Microsoft to have control of its own QDOS derivative , MS - DOS , and through aggressive marketing of the operating system to manufacturers of IBM - PC clones Microsoft rose from a small player to one of the major software vendors in the home computer industry . With the release of the Microsoft Mouse on May 2 , 1983 , Microsoft continued to expand its product line in other markets . This expansion included Microsoft Press , a book publishing division , on July 11 the same year , which debuted with two titles : Exploring the IBM PCjr Home Computer by Peter Norton , and The Apple Macintosh Book by Cary Lu . 1985 -- 1994 : Windows and Office ( edit ) The sign at a main entrance to the Microsoft corporate campus . The Redmond campus today includes more than 8 million square feet ( approx . 750,000 m2 ) and 28,000 employees . Ireland became home to one of Microsoft 's international production facilities in 1985 , and on November 20 Microsoft released its first retail version of Microsoft Windows ( Windows 1.0 ) , originally a graphical extension for its MS - DOS operating system . In August , Microsoft and IBM partnered in the development of a different operating system called OS / 2 . OS / 2 was marketed in connection with a new hardware design proprietary to IBM , the PS / 2 . On February 16 , 1986 , Microsoft relocated their headquarters to a corporate office campus in Redmond , Washington . Around one month later , on March 13 , the company went public with an IPO , raising US $61 million at US $21.00 per share . By the end of the trading day , the price had risen to US $28.00 . In 1987 , Microsoft eventually released their first version of OS / 2 to OEMs . By then the company was the world 's largest producer of software for personal computers -- ahead of former leader Lotus Development -- and published the three most - popular Macintosh business applications . That year the company purchased Forethought , the developer of PowerPoint and Microsoft 's first major software acquisition . Meanwhile , Microsoft began introducing its most prominent office products . Microsoft Works , an integrated office program which combined features typically found in a word processor , spreadsheet , database and other office applications , saw its first release as an application for the Apple Macintosh towards the end of 1986 . Microsoft Works would later be sold with other Microsoft products including Microsoft Word and Microsoft Bookshelf , a reference collection introduced in 1987 that was the company 's first CD - ROM product . Later , on August 8 , 1989 , Microsoft introduced its most successful office product , Microsoft Office . Unlike the model of Microsoft Works , Microsoft Office was a bundle of separate office productivity applications , such as Microsoft Word , Microsoft Excel and so forth . While Microsoft Word and Microsoft Office were mostly developed internally , Microsoft also continued its trend of rebranding products from other companies , such as Microsoft SQL Server on January 13 , 1988 , a relational database management system for companies that was based on technology licensed from Sybase . On May 22 , 1990 Microsoft launched Windows 3.0 . The new version of Microsoft 's operating system boasted new features such as streamlined graphic user interface GUI and improved protected mode ability for the Intel 386 processor ; it sold over 100,000 copies in two weeks . Windows at the time generated more revenue for Microsoft than OS / 2 , and the company decided to move more resources from OS / 2 to Windows . In an internal memo to Microsoft employees on May 16 , 1991 , Bill Gates announced that the OS / 2 partnership was over , and that Microsoft would henceforth focus its platform efforts on Windows and the Windows NT kernel . Some people , especially developers who had ignored Windows and committed most of their resources to OS / 2 , were taken by surprise , and accused Microsoft of deception . This changeover from OS / 2 was frequently referred to in the industry as `` the head - fake '' . In the recent years , the popularity of OS / 2 declined , and Windows quickly became the favored PC platform . 1991 also marked the founding of Microsoft Research , an organization in Microsoft for researching computer science subjects , and Microsoft Visual Basic , a popular development product for companies and individuals . The Microsoft sign at the entrance of the German Microsoft campus , Konrad - Zuse - Str. 1 , Unterschleißheim , Germany . Microsoft became an international company with headquarters in many countries . During the transition from MS - DOS to Windows , the success of Microsoft 's product Microsoft Office allowed the company to gain ground on application - software competitors , such as WordPerfect and Lotus 1 - 2 - 3 . Novell , an owner of WordPerfect for a time , alleged that Microsoft used its inside knowledge of the DOS and Windows kernels and of undocumented Application Programming Interface features to make Office perform better than its competitors . Eventually , Microsoft Office became the dominant business suite , with a market share far exceeding that of its competitors . In March 1992 , Microsoft released Windows 3.1 along with its first promotional campaign on TV ; the software sold over three million copies in its first two months on the market . In October , Windows for Workgroups 3.1 was released with integrated networking abilities such as peer - to - peer file and printing sharing . In November , Microsoft released the first version of their popular database software Microsoft Access . The Microsoft sign at the entrance of the Dubai Microsoft campus , Dubai Internet City . Microsoft has developed Arabic versions for most of its products . By 1993 , Windows had become the most widely used GUI operating system in the world . Fortune Magazine named Microsoft as the `` 1993 Most Innovative Company Operating in the U.S. '' The year also marked the end of a five - year copyright infringement legal case brought by Apple Computer , dubbed Apple Computer , Inc. v. Microsoft Corp. , in which the ruling was in Microsoft 's favor . Microsoft also released Windows for Workgroups 3.11 , a new version of the consumer line of Windows , and Windows NT 3.1 , a server - based operating system with a similar user interface to consumer versions of the operating system , but with an entirely different kernel . As part of its strategy to broaden its business , Microsoft released Microsoft Encarta on March 22 , 1993 , the first encyclopedia designed to run on a computer . Soon after , the Microsoft Home brand was introduced -- encompassing Microsoft 's new multimedia applications for Windows 3. x. , Microsoft changed its slogan to `` Where do you want to go today ? '' in 1994 as part of an attempt to appeal to nontechnical audiences in a US $100 million advertising campaign . 1995 -- 2007 : foray into the Web , Windows 95 , Windows XP , and Xbox ( edit ) Microsoft continued to make strategic decisions directed at consumers . The company released Microsoft Bob , a graphical user interface designed for novice computer users , in March 1995 . The interface was discontinued in 1996 due to poor sales ; Bill Gates later attributed its failure to hardware requirements that were too high for typical computers , and is widely regarded as one of Microsoft 's most unsuccessful products . DreamWorks SKG and Microsoft formed a new company , DreamWorks Interactive ( in 2000 acquired by Electronic Arts which named it EA Los Angeles ) , to produce interactive and multimedia entertainment properties . On August 24 , 1995 , Microsoft released Windows 95 , a new version of the company 's flagship operating system which featured a completely new user interface , including a novel start button ; more than a million copies were sold in the first four days after its release . Windows 95 was released without a web browser as Microsoft had not yet developed one . The success of the web caught them by surprise and they subsequently approached Spyglass to license their browser as Internet Explorer . Spyglass went on to later dispute the terms of the agreement , as Microsoft was to pay a royalty for every copy sold . However , Microsoft sold no copies of Internet Explorer , choosing instead to bundle it for free with the operating system . Internet Explorer was first included in the Windows 95 Plus ! Pack that was released in August 1995 . In September , the Chinese government chose Windows to be the operating system of choice in that country , and entered into an agreement with the company to standardize a Chinese version of the operating system . Microsoft also released the Microsoft Sidewinder 3D Pro joystick in an attempt to further expand its profile in the computer hardware market . On May 26 , 1995 , Bill Gates sent the `` Internet Tidal Wave '' memorandum to Microsoft executives . The memo described Netscape with their Netscape Navigator as a `` new competitor ' born ' on the Internet . '' The memo outlines Microsoft 's failure to grasp the Internet 's importance , and in it Gates assigned `` the Internet the highest level of importance '' from then on . Microsoft began to expand its product line into computer networking and the World Wide Web . On August 24 , 1995 , it launched a major online service , MSN ( Microsoft Network ) , as a direct competitor to AOL . MSN became an umbrella service for Microsoft 's online services , using Microsoft Passport ( now called a Microsoft account ) as a universal login system for all of its web sites . The company continued to branch out into new markets in 1996 , starting with a joint venture with NBC to create a new 24 - hour cable news television station , MSNBC . The station was launched on July 15 , 1996 to compete with similar news outlets such as CNN . Microsoft also launched Slate , an online magazine edited by Michael Kinsley , which offered political and social commentary along with the cartoon Doonesbury . In an attempt to extend its reach in the consumer market , the company acquired WebTV , which enabled consumers to access the Web from their televisions . Microsoft entered the personal digital assistant ( PDA ) market in November with Windows CE 1.0 , a new built - from - scratch version of their flagship operating system , designed to run on low - memory , low - performance machines , such as handhelds and other small computers . 1996 saw the release of Windows NT 4.0 , which brought the Windows 95 GUI and Windows NT kernel together . While Microsoft largely failed to participate in the rise of the Internet in the early 1990s , some of the key technologies in which the company had invested to enter the Internet market started to pay off by the mid-90s . One of the most prominent of these was ActiveX , an application programming interface built on the Microsoft Component Object Model ( COM ) ; this enabled Microsoft and others to embed controls in many programming languages , including the company 's own scripting languages , such as JScript and VBScript . ActiveX included frameworks for documents and server solutions . The company also released the Microsoft SQL Server 6.5 , which had built - in support for internet applications . Later in 1997 , Microsoft Office 97 as well as Internet Explorer 4. 0 were released , marking the beginning of the takeover of the browser market from rival Netscape , and by agreement with Apple Computer , Internet Explorer was bundled with the Apple Macintosh operating system as well as with Windows . Windows CE 2.0 , the handheld version of Windows , was released this year , including a host of bug fixes and new features designed to make it more appealing to corporate customers . In October , the Justice Department filed a motion in the federal district court in which they stated that Microsoft had violated an agreement signed in 1994 , and asked the court to stop the bundling of Internet Explorer with Windows . Windows 95 - 98 desktop The year 1998 was significant in Microsoft 's history , with Bill Gates appointing Steve Ballmer as president of Microsoft but remaining as Chair and CEO himself . The company released an update to the consumer version of Windows , Windows 98 . Windows 98 came with Internet Explorer 4.0 SP1 ( which had Windows Desktop Update bundled ) , and included new features from Windows 95 OSR 2. x including the FAT32 file system , and new features designed for Windows 98 , such as support for multiple displays . Microsoft launched its Indian headquarters as well , which would eventually become the company 's second largest after its U.S. headquarters . Finally , a great deal of controversy took place when a set of internal memos from the company were leaked on the Internet . These documents , colloquially referred to as `` The Halloween Documents '' , were widely reported by the media and went into detail of the threats that free software / open source software poses to Microsoft 's own software , previously voiced mainly by analysts and advocates of open source software . The documents also alluded to legal and other actions against Linux as well as other open source software . While Microsoft acknowledged the documents , it claimed that they are merely engineering studies . Despite this , some believe that these studies were used in the real strategies of the company . Bill Gates gives a presentation at IT - Forum in Copenhagen in 2004 Microsoft , in 2000 , released new products for all three lines of the company 's flagship operating system , and saw the beginning of the end of one of its most prominent legal cases . On February 17 , Microsoft released an update to its business line of software in Windows 2000 . It provided a high level of stability similar to that of its Unix counterparts due to its usage of the Windows NT kernel , and matching features found in the consumer line of the Windows operating system including a DOS emulator that could run many legacy DOS applications . On April 3 , 2000 , a judgment was handed down in the case of United States v. Microsoft Corp. , calling the company an `` abusive monopoly '' and forcing the company to split into two separate units . Part of this ruling was later overturned by a federal appeals court , and eventually settled with the U.S. Department of Justice in 2001 . On June 15 , 2000 , the company released a new version of its hand - held operating system , Windows CE 3.0 . The main change was the new programming APIs of the software . Previous versions of Windows CE supported only a small subset of the WinAPI , the main development library for Windows , and with Version 3 of Windows CE , the operating system now supported nearly all of the core functionality of the WinAPI . The next update to the consumer line , Windows ME ( or Windows Millennium Edition ) , was released on September 14 , 2000 . It sported several new features such as enhanced multimedia abilities and consumer - oriented PC maintenance options , but is often regarded as one of the worst versions of Windows due to stability problems , restricted real mode DOS support and other issues . Windows XP introduced a new interface , along with many other new features . This screenshot shows Windows XP Professional . Microsoft released Windows XP and Office XP in 2001 , a version that aimed to encompass the features of both its business and home product lines . The release included an updated version of the Windows 2000 kernel , enhanced DOS emulation abilities , and many of the home - user features found in previous consumer versions . XP introduced a new graphical user interface , the first such change since Windows 95 . The operating system was the first to require Microsoft Product Activation , an anti-piracy mechanism that requires users to activate the software with Microsoft within 30 days . Later , Microsoft would enter the multibillion - dollar game console market dominated by Sony and Nintendo , with the release of the Xbox . The Xbox finished behind the dominant PlayStation 2 selling 24 million units compared to 155 million overall ; however they managed to outsell the GameCube which sold 21 million units . Microsoft launched their second console , the Xbox 360 , in 2005 -- which has turned out to be a lot more successful than their first console . It has sold 40 million units as of 2010 and it has outsold Sony 's PlayStation 3 which has so far sold 35 million units . However , despite beating Sony with their last Xbox console , Microsoft so far has been outsold by the Wii which introduced gesture control and opened up a new market for video games . Microsoft later used their popular controller - free Kinect peripheral to increase the popularity of the Xbox . This was very successful . As of 2011 Kinect was the fastest selling consumer electronics product in history . It sold 8 million units from November 4 , 2010 to January 3 , 2011 ( its first 60 days ) . It averaged 133,333 units per day , outselling the iPhone and iPad over equivalent post-launch periods . In 2002 , Microsoft launched the . NET initiative , along with new versions of some of its development products , such as Microsoft Visual Studio . The initiative has been an entirely new development API for Windows programming , and included a new programming language , C# . Windows Server 2003 was launched , featuring enhanced administration abilities , such as new user interfaces to server tools . In 2004 , the company released Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 , a version of Windows XP designed for multimedia abilities , and Windows XP Starter Edition , a version of Windows XP with a smaller feature set designed for entry - level consumers . However , Microsoft encountered more turmoil in March 2004 when antitrust legal action would be brought against it by the European Union for allegedly abusing its market dominance ( see Microsoft Corp v Commission ) . Eventually Microsoft was fined € 497 million ( US $613 million ) , ordered to divulge certain protocols to competitors , and to produce a new version of its Windows XP platform -- called Windows XP Home Edition N -- that did not include its Windows Media Player . Microsoft was also ordered to produce separate packages of Windows after South Korea also landed a settlement against the company in 2005 . It had to pay out US $32 million and produce more than one version of Windows for the country in the same vein as the European Union - one with Windows Media Player and Windows Messenger and one without the two programs . In guise of competing with other Internet Companies such as the search service Google , in 2005 Microsoft announced a new version of its MSN search service . Later , in 2006 , the company launched Microsoft adCenter , a service that offers pay per click advertisements , in an effort to further develop their search marketing revenue . Soon afterward , Microsoft created the CodePlex collaborative development site for hosting open source projects . Activity grew quickly as developers from around the world began to participate , and by early 2007 commercial open source companies , such as Aras Corp ,. began to offer enterprise open source software exclusively on the Microsoft platform . On June 15 , 2006 , Bill Gates announced his plans for a two - year transition period out of a day - to - day role with Microsoft until July 31 , 2008 . After that date , Gates will continue in his role as the company 's chairman , head of the board of directors and act as an adviser on key projects . His role as Chief Software Architect will be filled immediately by Ray Ozzie , the Chief Technical Officer of the company as of June 15 , 2006 . Bill Gates stated `` My announcement is not a retirement -- it 's a reordering of my priorities . '' 2007 -- 2011 : Microsoft Azure , Windows Vista , Windows 7 , and Microsoft stores ( edit ) Formerly codenamed `` Longhorn '' in the early development stages , Windows Vista was released to consumers on January 30 , 2007 . Microsoft also released a new version of its Office suite , called Microsoft Office 2007 , alongside Windows Vista . Windows Server 2008 and Visual Studio 2008 , the next versions of the company 's server operating system and development suite , respectively , were released on February 27 , 2008 . Windows Vista was criticized for being heavy and needing large amounts of power to run the desktop widgets and the Aero theme . Many people continued to use Windows XP for many years after , due to its stability and low processing needs . On December 19 , 2007 , Microsoft signed a five - year , $500 million contract with Viacom that included content sharing and advertisements . The deal allowed Microsoft to license many shows from Viacom owned cable television and film studios for use on Xbox Live and MSN . The deal also made Viacom a preferred publisher partner for casual game development and distribution through MSN and Windows . On the advertisement side of the deal , Microsoft 's Atlas ad - serving division became the exclusive provider of previously unsold advertising inventory on Viacom owned web sites . Microsoft also purchased a large amount of advertising on Viacom owned broadcasts and online networks , and collaborated on promotions and sponsorships for MTV and BET award shows , two Viacom owned cable networks . In 2008 , Microsoft wanted to purchase Yahoo ( first completely , later partially ) in order to strengthen its position on the search engine market vis - à - vis Google . The company rejected the offer , saying that it undervalued the company . In response , Microsoft withdrew its offer . In 2009 , the opening show of the Consumer Electronics Show ( CES ) was hosted by Steve Ballmer for the first time . In past years , it has been hosted by Bill Gates . During the show , Ballmer announced the first public Beta Test of Windows 7 for partners and developers on January 8 , but also for the general public two days later . On June 26 , 2009 , Microsoft started taking pre-orders at a discounted price for Windows 7 which was launched on October 22 , 2009 . Windows 7 has several editions , which acknowledge the rise of netbook computers with reduced processing power . On May 10 , 2011 , the conpany acquired Skype Technologies for US $8.5 billion . 2011 -- 2014 : Windows 8 , Xbox one , Outlook.com , and Surface devices ( edit ) Following the release of Windows Phone , Microsoft underwent a gradual rebranding of its product range throughout 2011 and 2012 -- the corporation 's logos , products , services and websites adopted the principles and concepts of the Metro design language . Microsoft previewed Windows 8 , an operating system designed to power both personal computers and tablet computers , in Taipei in June 2011 . A developer preview was released on September 13 , and was replaced by a consumer preview on February 29 , 2012 . On May 31 , 2012 , the preview version was released . On June 18 , 2012 , Microsoft unveiled the Surface , the first computer in the company 's history to have its hardware made by Microsoft . On June 25 , Microsoft paid US $1.2 billion to buy the social network Yammer . On July 31 , 2012 , Microsoft launched the Outlook.com webmail service to compete with Gmail . On September 4 , 2012 , Microsoft released Windows Server 2012 . In July 2012 , Microsoft sold its 50 % stake in MSNBC.com , which it had run as a joint venture with NBC since 1996 . On October 1 , Microsoft announced its intention to launch a news operation , part of a new - look MSN , at the time of the Windows 8 launch that was later in the month . On October 26 , 2012 , Microsoft launched Windows 8 and the Microsoft Surface . Three days later , Windows Phone 8 was launched . To cope with the potential for an increase in demand for products and services , Microsoft opened a number of `` holiday stores '' across the U.S. to complement the increasing number of `` bricks - and - mortar '' Microsoft Stores that opened in 2012 . On March 29 , 2013 , Microsoft launched a Patent Tracker . The Kinect , a motion - sensing input device made by Microsoft and designed as a video game controller , was first introduced in November 2010 , and was upgraded for the 2013 release of the eighth - generation Xbox One video game console . Kinect 's capabilities were revealed in May 2013 . The new Kinect uses an ultra-wide 1080p camera , which can function in the dark due to an infrared sensor . It employs higher - end processing power and new software , can distinguish between fine movements ( such as a thumb movements ) , and can determine a user 's heart rate by looking at his / her face . Microsoft filed a patent application in 2011 that suggests that the corporation may use the Kinect camera system to monitor the behavior of television viewers as part of a plan to make the viewing experience more interactive . On July 19 , 2013 , Microsoft stocks suffered its biggest one - day percentage sell - off since the year 2000 after its fourth - quarter report raised concerns among the investors on the poor showings of both Windows 8 and the Surface tablet ; with more than 11 percentage points declining Microsoft suffered a loss of more than US $32 billion . For the 2010 fiscal year , Microsoft had five product divisions : Windows Division , Server and Tools , Online Services Division , Microsoft Business Division and Entertainment and Devices Division . On September 3 , 2013 , Microsoft agreed to buy Nokia 's mobile unit for $7 billion . Also in 2013 , Amy Hood became the CFO of Microsoft . The Alliance for Affordable Internet ( A4AI ) was launched in October 2013 and Microsoft was part of the coalition of public and private organizations that also included Facebook , Intel and Google . Led by World Wide Web inventor Tim Berners - Lee , the A4AI seeks to make Internet access more affordable so that access is broadened in the developing world , where only 31 % of people are online . Google will help to decrease Internet access prices so that they fall below the UN Broadband Commission 's worldwide target of 5 % of monthly income . In line with the maturing PC business , in July 2013 , Microsoft announced that it would reorganize the business into four new business divisions by function : Operating System , Apps , Cloud , and Devices . All previous divisions were diluted into new divisions without any workforce cuts . 2014 -- present : Windows 10 , Windows 10 mobile , Microsoft edge and hololens ( edit ) On February 4 , 2014 , Steve Ballmer stepped down as CEO of Microsoft and was succeeded by Satya Nadella , who previously led Microsoft 's Cloud and Enterprise division . On the same day , John W. Thompson took on the role of chairman , with Bill Gates stepping down from the position , while continuing to participate as a technology advisor . On April 25 , 2014 , Microsoft acquired Nokia Devices and Services for $7.2 billion . The new subsidiary was renamed Microsoft Mobile Oy . In May 2016 , the company announced it will lay off 1,850 workers , taking an impairment and restructuring charge of $950 million . During the previous summer of 2015 the company wrote down $7.6 billion related to its mobile - phone business and fired 7,800 employees from those operations . On September 15 , 2014 , Microsoft acquired the video game development company Mojang , best known for its wildly popular flagship game Minecraft , for $2.5 billion . On January 21 , 2015 , Microsoft announced the release of their first Interactive whiteboard , Microsoft Surface Hub ( part of the Surface family ) . On July 29 , 2015 , Microsoft released the next version of the Windows operating system , Windows 10 . Its server sibling , Windows Server 2016 , was released in September 2016 . In Q1 2015 , Microsoft was the third largest maker of mobile phones selling 33 million units ( 7.2 % of all ) , while a large majority ( at least 75 % ) of them do not run any version of Windows Phone -- those other phones are not categorized as smartphones by Gartner -- in the same time frame 8 million Windows smartphones ( 2.5 % of all smartphones ) were made by all manufacturers ( but mostly by Microsoft ) . Microsoft 's share of the U.S. smartphone market in January 2016 was 2.7 % . On March 1 , 2016 , Microsoft announced the merge of its PC and Xbox divisions , with Phil Spencer announcing that Universal Windows Platform ( UWP ) apps would be the focus for Microsoft 's gaming in the future . In June 2016 , Microsoft announced a project named Microsoft Azure Information Protection . It aims to help enterprises protect their data as it moves between servers and devices . In November 2016 , Microsoft joined the Linux Foundation as a Platinum member during Microsoft 's Connect ( ) ; developer event in New York .

who did microsoft strike a deal with to provide dos operating system
[ "DOS (Disk Operating System) was the operating system that brought the company its real success. IBM first approached Microsoft about its upcoming IBM Personal Computer (IBM PC) in July 1980.[24] On August 12, 1981, after negotiations with Digital Research failed, IBM awarded a contract to Microsoft to provide a version of the CP/M operating system, which was set to be used in the IBM PC. For this deal, Microsoft purchased a CP/M clone called 86-DOS from Tim Paterson of Seattle Computer Products for less than US$100,000, which IBM renamed to IBM PC DOS. Microsoft did not have an operating system when they closed the deal with IBM and IBM had not done their homework. Due to potential copyright infringement problems with CP/M, IBM marketed both CP/M and PC DOS for US$240 and US$40, respectively, with PC DOS eventually becoming the standard because of its lower price.[25][26] 35 of the company's 100 employees worked on the IBM project for more than a year. When the IBM PC debuted, Microsoft was the only company that offered operating system, programming language, and application software for the new computer.[24]" ]

Finished unexpired term of Atkins List of Omega Psi Phi Grand Conclaves ( edit ) Main article : List of Omega Psi Phi Grand Conclaves Notable hazing incidents and controversies ( edit ) In 1977 , Robert Brazile , a student at the University of Pennsylvania , collapsed and died at a fraternity house meeting due to injuries and beatings he sustained while pledging the fraternity . In 1978 , Nathaniel Swimson , a student at North Carolina Central University , died during an off - campus initiation activity . He was asked to run several miles before he collapsed and died . In 1983 , Vann Watts , a student at Tennessee State University , died of an alcohol overdose following an initiation party . It was reported that prior to his death , he was severely beaten and verbally abused by fraternity members . In 1984 , a Hampton University student was killed participating in an Omega Psi Phi ritual . The family of the deceased student privately settled with the fraternity for an undisclosed amount as a result of his wrongful death . In 1986 , Thomas Harold , a student at Lamar University , died as a result of running miles on Lamar 's track as part of a pledging task . In 1993 , 24 Omegas were arrested for making pledges from University of Maryland at College Park eat vomit and dog biscuits , dropping hot wax on their necks , and beating them so badly that they needed medical attention . In 1997 , the fraternity was court ordered to pay a former Indiana University pledge $774,500 for injuries he sustained while pledging in 1994 . In 1999 , Omega Psi Phi was court ordered to pay a former University of Louisville student nearly $1 million for suffering kidney failure due to hazing activity in 1997 . In 2001 , Joseph T. Green , a student at Tennessee State University , died as result of an asthma attack he developed from being asked to run long distances while pledging . In 2002 , his family filed a $15 million wrongful death lawsuit against the men of Omega Psi Phi Incorporated . In 2009 , a former pledge at the University of Houston ( UH ) settled with the fraternity for an undisclosed amount after being hit with a baseball bat , wood board , and TV antenna while pledging . The UH student wanted to join the fraternity because his father was a member . The chapter was placed on suspension following this incident . In 2014 , the chapter at Valdosta State University was banned from campus until at least August 2022 due to severe hazing and violating the school 's code of conduct . In 2015 , six Omega Psi Phi members at Johnson C. Smith University were arrested and charged with assault for severely beating pledges over a two - month span . In 2015 , four Omega Psi Phi members at Saginaw Valley State University were arrested and charged for striking pledges with open hands and paddles . One known pledge sustained a serious injury after losing consciousness one night pledging . In 2015 , a Florida Atlantic University student reported to the police she was gang - raped at an Omega Psi Phi `` Oil Spill '' step show after party . Inside the party , she stated she was suddenly and forcefully pulled behind curtains and raped by a group of men in a dark area . In 2016 , the fraternity at Florida State University was suspended for severely abusing pledges and violating the university 's code of conduct . Criminal charges are pending for members of the fraternity . In April 2017 , Omega Psi Phi member and alleged spree killer Steve Stephens referenced the fraternity multiple times in videos he posted during his killing spree . Stephens claimed that he was going to shoot `` Greeks '' in the head until he was caught . `` Unofficial '' practices ( edit ) Like many fraternal organizations , Omega Psi Phi has a rich tradition of practices . While some traditions are naturally secret , many are freely expressed in public . A popular one is referring to members as `` Que Dogs '' or `` Ques '' . Another is the practice of members voluntarily undergoing branding of the letters , or variations and designs based on them ( such as two linked Omega symbols ) , on their skin . The brands often are displayed in public as a matter of pride ; some prospects first learn of the fraternity by seeing members bearing brands .

Bagheera trains Mowgli to learn the ways of the wolves , but the boy faces certain challenges and falls behind his wolf siblings while Akela disapproves of him using human tricks like building tools instead of learning the ways of the pack . One day , during the dry season , the jungle animals gather to drink the water that remains as part of a truce during a drought that enables the jungle 's wildlife to drink without fear of being eaten by their predators . The truce is disrupted when a scarred tiger named Shere Khan arrives detecting Mowgli 's scent in the large crowd . Resentful against man for scarring him , he issues a warning that he will kill Mowgli at the end of the drought . After the drought ends , the wolves debate whether they should keep Mowgli or not . Mowgli decides to leave the jungle for the safety of his pack . Bagheera agrees with the decision and volunteers to guide him to the nearby man village . En route , Shere Khan ambushes them and injures Bagheera , but Mowgli manages to escape . Later , Mowgli meets an enormous python named Kaa who hypnotizes him . While under her influence , Mowgli sees a vision of his father being mauled while protecting him from Shere Khan . The vision also warns of the destructive power of the `` red flower '' ( fire ) . Kaa attempts to devour Mowgli , but she is attacked by a large brown sloth bear named Baloo , rescuing an unconscious Mowgli . Baloo and Mowgli bond while retrieving some difficult - to - access honey for Baloo and Mowgli agrees to stay with Baloo until the winter season arrives . Upon learning that Mowgli has left the jungle , Shere Khan kills Akela and threatens the pack to lure Mowgli out . Bagheera eventually finds Mowgli and Baloo and is angered that Mowgli has not joined the humans as agreed , but Baloo calms him down and persuades both of them to sleep on it . During the night , Mowgli finds a herd of Indian elephants gathered around a ditch and uses his vines to save a baby elephant from the ditch . Although Baloo and Bagheera are both impressed , Baloo realizes that he can not guarantee Mowgli 's safety after learning that he is being hunted by Shere Khan . Baloo agrees to push Mowgli away to get him to continue onward to the man village . Mowgli is kidnapped by the `` Bandar - log '' ( monkeys ) who present him to their leader , a gigantopithecus named King Louie . Assuming that all humans can make fire , King Louie offers Mowgli protection from Shere Khan in exchange for it . Baloo distracts King Louie while Bagheera tries to sneak him out , but their plan is discovered . As King Louie chases Mowgli through his temple , he informs Mowgli of Akela 's death . King Louie 's rampage eventually causes his temple to collapse on top of him . Furious that Baloo and Bagheera never told him about Akela 's death , Mowgli goes to confront Shere Khan alone . Mowgli steals a lit torch at the village to use as a weapon and heads back to the jungle , accidentally starting a wildfire in the process . He confronts Shere Khan , who argues that Mowgli has made himself the enemy of the jungle by causing the wildfire . Mowgli throws the torch into the water , giving Shere Khan the advantage . Baloo , Bagheera , and the wolf pack intervene and hold Shere Khan off , giving Mowgli enough time to set a trap . He lures Shere Khan up a dead tree and onto a branch , which breaks under the tiger 's weight and Shere Khan falls into the fire to his death . Mowgli then directs the elephants to divert the river and put out the fire . In the aftermath , Raksha becomes the new leader of the wolf pack . Mowgli decides to utilize his equipment and tricks for his own use , having found his true home and calling with his wolf family , Baloo , and Bagheera .

Production ( edit ) Development and casting ( edit ) `` The idea of going out to the jungle and shooting this , it just felt like it would n't have the magic that the 1967 film had had . There was a dreamlike quality to it . There was a surreal quality to it . It was a high - water mark for character animation and to me , that 's what I remember about it . And so I wanted to make sure we preserved that ... But what ( Alan ) Horn said was : Look at the technology . Look at Life of Pi , Avatar . Why not use the technology to create a whole world that transports you ? Let 's really embrace this new technology and see what we can do if we push its limit . '' -- Jon Favreau on approaching the film 's technical intent . Walt Disney Pictures announced that a live - action adaptation of Rudyard Kipling 's short story collection The Jungle Book was in development on July 9 , 2013 , with Justin Marks set to write the script . The film would be Disney 's second live - action adaptation of Kipling 's works , following the 1994 film , the 1998 direct - to - video film Mowgli 's Story and the studio 's fourth overall after the 1967 animated musical . Jon Favreau was confirmed as director on November 5 , 2013 . Favreau as a child used to watch Disney 's 1967 animated musical . He felt the need to strike a balance between the two films by retaining the buoyant spirit of the 1967 film , including some of its memorable songs , while crafting a movie with more realism and peril . He also stressed the importance of nature and realized how things have shifted during Kipling 's time and now , `` In Kipling 's time , nature was something to be overcome . Now nature is something to be protected . '' He was encouraged by Walt Disney Studios chairman Alan Horn to take advantage of the film 's setting and story as an opportunity to use the latest advancements in photorealistic rendering , computer - generated imagery , and motion capture technologies . The story of the film is not independently taken from Kipling 's works , but also borrows cinematic inspirations from other films , including the child - mentor relationship in Shane ( 1953 ) , the establishment of rules in a dangerous world from Goodfellas ( 1990 ) and the use of a shadowy jungle figure in Apocalypse Now ( 1979 ) . The cast was announced between March and August 2014 , with Idris Elba being announced to voice Shere Khan during early stages and Bill Murray eventually confirmed as the voice of Baloo in August 2014 . Between then , Scarlett Johansson , Ben Kingsley , and Christopher Walken were confirmed to play Kaa , Bagheera , and King Louie . Favreau decided to cast Johansson to play Kaa , originally a male character , as he felt the original film was `` a little too male - oriented . '' Favreau and Marks noticed the lack of female characters in the 1967 film version and wanted to address that by featuring Raksha 's character more prominently , as in Kipling 's tales . Lupita Nyong'o was cast as Raksha as Favreau believed her voice imbued the emotion required for the role , `` Lupita has tremendous depth of emotion in her performance . There 's an emotional underpinning she brings , and a strength , and we wanted that for this surrogate mother . Much of that comes from her voice . '' Favreau also decided to change King Louie from an orangutan to a gigantopithecus due to the fact that orangutans are not native to India , where the story takes place . His character was given a slight alteration from the 1967 film and was partly inspired by Marlon Brando 's character Colonel Kurtz in Apocalypse Now , as well as incorporating Walken 's own physical mannerisms . In regards to Louie 's changes , Favreau stated , `` We created this looming figure that was trying to extract the secret of fire from Mowgli . And also this gave Mowgli the idea that if he had fire , he could have power over Shere Khan , whether it was good or bad . So there was a Lord of the Rings aspect to that ; the fire was almost like the ring in that was going to give someone ultimate power , but corrupt them as well as create destruction . '' The film is dedicated to Garry Shandling , who voiced a porcupine in the film and died of a heart attack before the film 's release . The search for casting Mowgli was extensive , with thousands of children auditioning from the United States , the United Kingdom , New Zealand , and Canada . Eventually , newcomer Neel Sethi was confirmed for the role , with casting director Rebecca Williams describing him as embodying `` the heart , humor , and daring of the character . He 's warm and accessible , yet also has an intelligence well beyond his years and impressed us all with his ability to hold his own in any situation . '' Sethi underwent parkour training in preparation for the role . Pixar Animation Studios assisted in the development of the story , as well as providing suggestions for the film 's end credits sequence . Filming and visual effects ( edit ) Principal photography took place entirely on sound stages at L.A. Center Studios in downtown Los Angeles . The animal characters were created entirely in key frame computer animation , with the assistance of footage of real animal movement , the actors recording their lines , and performance capture for reference . The production team underwent a thorough process to realistically convey the animals ' speaking , while still making them perceptually believable to the audience . Favreau researched earlier films featuring anthropomorphic animals -- including Walt Disney 's animated features , such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Bambi , as well as modern films such as Babe -- and adopted certain techniques from those films into The Jungle Book . Nearly 70 separate species of animals native to India are featured in the film , with several species being portrayed as `` 150 % larger '' than their actual counterparts . Jim Henson 's Creature Shop was brought in to provide animal puppet figures for Sethi to act against , although none appear in the finished film . The animal puppets were performed by Artie Esposito , Sean Johnson , Allan Trautman , and April Warren . Favreau utilized motion capture with certain actors , expressing a desire to avoid overusing the technology in order to prevent evoking an uncanny valley effect . Moving Picture Company ( MPC ) and Weta Digital created the film 's visual effects . MPC developed new software for animating muscular structure in the animals . Around 1,000 remote jungle locations in India were photographed and used as reference in post-production . Weta was responsible for animating the King Louie sequence , with visual effects supervisor Keith Miller adding that , `` It was important for Jon to see Christopher Walken in the creature . So we took some of the distinctive Walken facial features -- iconic lines , wrinkles and folds -- and integrated them into the animated character . '' Favreau expressed desire in wanting the film 's 3D shots to imbue the abilities of the multiplane camera system utilized in Disney 's earlier animated films . At Favreau 's behest , the idea was extended into the film 's version of the Walt Disney Pictures opening production logo , which was recreated as `` a hand - painted , cel - animated multi-plane logo '' in homage to the animated films of that era , also incorporating the word `` Presents '' in the same style as the 1967 film 's opening credits . The film 's ending also features the original physical book that opened the 1967 film . Sound ( edit ) Director Jon Favreau and composer John Debney sought to recreate the Fantasound experience Walt Disney , himself , had in mind . When mixing the soundtrack in Dolby Atmos , as Favreau said , `` we isolated instruments when we could . And in the sound mix , we created a Fantasound mix . If you see the film in Atmos , you will feel that there are instruments that move around the theater . '' A mention for Fantasound appears in the film 's closing credits . Music ( edit ) The musical score for The Jungle Book was composed and conducted by frequent Favreau collaborator John Debney , mostly drawing from George Bruns ' original music . Though Favreau decided not to make the film a musical , nevertheless , he and Debney incorporated several songs from the 1967 animated film . `` The Bare Necessities , '' written by Terry Gilkyson , is performed by Murray and Sethi , and a cover version by Dr. John is featured in the end credits . `` I Wan'na Be Like You '' and `` Trust in Me '' -- written by the Sherman Brothers -- are performed by Walken and Johansson , respectively ; Richard M. Sherman wrote revised lyrics for Walken 's version of `` I Wan'na Be Like You . '' Johansson 's rendition of `` Trust in Me '' was produced by Mark Ronson and appears in the end credits only .

Release ( edit ) Jon Favreau at the premiere of The Jungle Book in Sydney , Australia The film was originally scheduled for October 9 , 2015 , but the film 's release date was later postponed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures to April 15 , 2016 . The film was released in the Dolby Vision format in Dolby Cinema in the United States , and is the first film to be released in Dolby Vision 3D ( in a few select theaters in New York City and Chicago ) . The Jungle Book held its world premiere at the El Capitan Theatre on April 4 , 2016 . It was released in 15 countries , a week ahead of its U.S. debut on April 15 , in countries like Argentina , Australia , Russia , Malaysia , and most notably in India on April 8 . The release date in India was strategic for the film as it coincided with the Indian New Year and was a holiday in most parts of the country . The film had a special Hindi version with famous actors giving their voices to the main characters , including Irrfan Khan as Baloo , Om Puri as Bagheera , Priyanka Chopra as Ka , Nana Patekar as Sher Khan and Shefali Shah as Raksha , for its Indian audiences as the book and the Disney series based on it had been immensely popular in India in 1990s . Disney India also commissioned a contemporary recording of `` Jungle Jungle Baat Chali Hai '' ( originally used for the popular Indian version of Japanese anime series Jungle Book Shōnen Mowgli ) , overseen by the original Hindi song 's composers Vishal Bhardwaj and Gulzar , and released it as part of the film 's promotional campaign in India . Home Media ( edit ) The film was released digitally on August 23 , 2016 , and on DVD and Blu - ray on August 30 ( August 22 in the UK ) . A 3D Blu - ray was said to be coming by the end of the year . The film topped the NPD VideoScan overall disc sales chart for two consecutive weeks . Reception ( edit ) Box Office ( edit ) The film became a huge financial success and a surprise hit . It briefly held the record for the biggest remake of all time until the studio 's own Beauty and the Beast surpassed it the following year . It grossed $364 million in the United States and Canada and $602.5 million in other countries for a worldwide total of $966.6 million , against a budget of $175 million . Worldwide , the film was released across 28,000 RealD 3D screens and had an IMAX worldwide opening of $20.4 million from 901 IMAX screens , a new record for a PG film . It grossed a total of $39 million in IMAX screens worldwide . On May 13 , it became the second film of 2016 ( after the studio 's own Zootopia ) to pass the $800 million mark . On June 10 , it became the third film of 2016 after Zootopia and Captain America : Civil War to pass the $900 million mark . Deadline.com calculated the net profit of the film to be $258 million , when factoring together all expenses and revenues for the film , making it the sixth-most profitable release of 2016 . United States and Canada ( edit ) Projections for its opening weekend in the United States and Canada were continuously revised upwards , starting from $60 million to as high as $88 million , with female and older male quadrants being the prime draw . The Jungle Book was shown across 4,028 theaters of which 3,100 theaters ( 75 % ) were in 3D , including 376 IMAX screens , 463 premium large format screens , and 145 D - Box locations . It opened Friday , April 15 , 2016 , on around 9,500 screens across 4,028 theaters , and earned $32.4 million , the fourth - biggest April Friday . This includes $4.2 million from Thursday previews , the biggest preview number for a Disney live - adaptation film ( tied with Maleficent ) , an almost unheard - of for a PG title which rarely attracts many ticketbuyers later in the night . In total , it earned $103.3 million in its opening weekend , exceeding expectations by 40 % and recorded the biggest PG - rated April opening ( breaking Hop 's record ) , the second - biggest Disney live - action adaptation opening ( behind Alice in Wonderland ) , and the second - biggest April opening ( behind Furious 7 ) . It also performed exceptionally well in both 3D and IMAX formats , where they both generated an income of $44 million and $10.4 million of the film 's opening - weekend gross , respectively , the later broke the record for the biggest April Disney release IMAX opening . Notably , it also became the only second PG - rated release to ever open above $100 million ( following Alice in Wonderland ) and the third film of 2016 overall to open above $100 million ( following Deadpool and Batman v Superman : Dawn of Justice ) . It earned $130.7 million in its first full week , the second - biggest for a Disney live - action adaptation , behind only Alice in Wonderland 's $146.6 million seven - day gross . Buoyed by excellent word of mouth and benefiting from spring break , it fell only by 40 % in its second weekend earning $61.5 million , still maintaining the top position and far surpassing newcomer The Huntsman : Winter 's War . That puts The Jungle Book in the top fifteen second weekends of all time and in terms of films that opened above $100 million , it scored the fourth - smallest drop behind Shrek 2 ( − 33 % ) , Spider - Man ( − 39 % ) , and Star Wars : The Force Awakens ( − 39 % ) . Of those numbers , $5.6 million came from IMAX shows for a two weekend cumulative total of $18.4 million which represents about 10 % of its entire North American box office gross . It crossed $200 million on its twelfth day of release and managed to hold the top spot for the third consecutive weekend with $43.7 million from 4,041 theaters ( an addition of 13 more theaters ) , a fall of only 29 % , outgrossing the next six pictures combined ( including the openings of three newcomers ) and recorded the sixth - biggest third weekend of all time . Moreover , the 29 % drop is the smallest third - weekend drop ( from its second weekend ) for a $100 million opener ever . Disney added an additional 103 theaters for the film 's fourth weekend of release which propelled its theater count to 4,144 theaters , but nevertheless , it was overtaken by Disney 's own Captain America : Civil War after experiencing a 50 % decline . It passed $300 million on its thirtieth day of release , on May 14 , as it continued to witness marginal declines in the wake of several new releases weekend after weekend . It made 3.53 times its opening weekend numbers , which is one of the biggest of all time for a film opening above $100 million . It became one of the few surprise hits and one of the highest - grossing films of the year , alongside Finding Dory , The Secret Life of Pets , and Zootopia , centered around talking animals to dominate the year - end chart . Other countries ( edit ) The film was released in approximately 70 countries . Outside the US and Canada , it opened across 15 markets and 69 IMAX screens a week ahead of its US debut , and faced notable competition from newcomer The Huntsman : Winter 's War and holdover Batman v Superman : Dawn of Justice , the latter of which was entering its third weekend . The reason behind the divided release pattern was because Disney wanted to get some space before Captain America : Civil War releases in early May , as well as availing school holidays and avoiding local competitors . It eventually grossed $31.7 million , debuting at first place in all markets and second overall at the international box office , behind Dawn of Justice , which was playing across 67 markets . In its second weekend , it expanded to an additional 49 countries ( 88 % of its total marketplace ) and grossed $138.6 million from 64 countries , easily topping the international box office , a bulk of it came from China . Approximately 63 % or $85 million of that came from 3D screenings , with the largest 3D opening haul represented by China ( 98 % ) , Germany ( 83 % ) , Brazil ( 73 % ) , Russia ( 60 % ) , Mexico ( 47 % ) , and the UK ( 39 % ) . $10 million alone came from 525 IMAX screens , a record for a PG and April release . It further continued to hold the top spot in its third weekend after adding another $98.9 million from 53 territories , falling only by a marginal 32 % . IMAX generated another $6.1 million from 484 IMAX theaters for a three - weekend total of $20.6 million . After three straight No. 1 runs , it was finally dethroned by the studio 's Captain America : Civil War in its fourth weekend . In India , it scored the second - biggest opening day for a Hollywood film , earning $1.51 million ( behind Avengers : Age of Ultron ) from around 1,500 screens and went on to score the second - biggest Hollywood opening weekend of all time , with $8.4 million from 1,600 screens , behind only Furious 7 in terms of local as well as U.S. currency , performing better than expected and its initial $5 -- 6 million opening projection . Its opening weekend in India alone surpassed the entire lifetime total of Disney 's other live - fantasy adaptations -- Cinderella , Maleficent , Oz the Great and Powerful , and Alice in Wonderland -- in the country . It then went on to score the biggest opening and single week for a Hollywood film with $15.1 million . In its second weekend , it dropped just by a mere 40 % to $4.97 million . In just ten days , it became the fourth - highest - grossing Hollywood film there with $21.2 million . On Wednesday , April 19 -- its twelfth day of release -- it surpassed Furious 7 to become the highest - grossing Hollywood / foreign release of all time there . By the end of its theatrical run , the film made an estimated $38.8 million with half of its revenue -- 58 % -- coming from local dubbed versions , compared to Avengers : Age of Ultron , which saw 45 % of its revenue from dubbed versions . In China , where the film was locally known as Fantasy Forest , expectations were high , with projections going as high $154 -- 200 million or more . Ultimately , it was unable to hit these marks . Before the release of the film in the state , Disney had a very successful run at the box office with Zootopia the previous month , in which anthropomorphic animals were the central figure . Forbes noted that The Jungle Book was precisely the sort of film that Chinese audiences love with its 3D visuals , heartwarming story , and talking animal cast . It earned around $12 million on its opening day , including $300,000 worth of previews from 65,000 screenings . Buoyed by good word of mouth and positive reception ( albeit mostly from audiences with polarized reception from Chinese critics ) , it rose 72 % on its second day to $20 million . Through its opening weekend it grossed $48.5 million , including $5.1 million from 279 IMAX screens , a new record for April release . Its opening marked the biggest Walt Disney Pictures film opening ever , the second - biggest for a family film ( behind Kung Fu Panda 3 ) , the second - biggest April debut ( behind Furious 7 ) , and the fourth - biggest Disney opening ( behind Avengers : Age of Ultron , Iron Man 3 , and Star Wars : The Force Awakens ) . It topped the daily box office through the whole opening week and went on to remain at the top of the box office for a second weekend , after dropping by a mere 20 % to $29.8 million , despite facing some competitions . It ended its run there with a total of $150.1 million after thirty days of playing in theaters , adding $1.2 million on its last day . Albeit falling just below expectations , it nevertheless emerged as a huge financial success and becoming the fourth - biggest Disney release there . In the United Kingdom and Ireland , it had an opening weekend total of £ 9.9 million ( $14.1 million ) from 594 theaters and in France with $8.1 million . Elsewhere , the highest openings were recorded in Russia and the CIS ( $7.4 million ) , Germany ( $5.1 million ) , Spain ( $3.9 million ) , Australia ( $2.8 million ) , Argentina ( $2.3 million ) , and in Malaysia , where it scored the biggest opening weekend for a live - action Disney film with $2.3 million . In the UK , it became the first film of 2016 to earn over £ 5 million in three straight weekends and the first film since Jurassic World , Spectre , and Star Wars : The Force Awakens ( all 2015 films ) to achieve such an accomplishment , and the first film of 2016 to earn above £ 40 million ( $58 million ) . In South Korea , it faced competition with Warcraft , but ended up debuting atop the charts with $6.2 million . It has so far grossed a total of $18 million there . It opened in Japan on August 11 , alongside the superhero film X-Men : Apocalypse and delivered a four - day opening of $6.2 million from 676 screens ( $3 million in two days ) , debuting at second place behind The Secret Life of Pets . Although the opening figure was considered mediocre , Deadline.com noted that Japan is a market that can see big multiples . It fell just 30 % in its second weekend earning $2.1 million for an eleven - day total of $13.7 million . In total earnings , its biggest markets outside of the US and Canada were China ( $150.1 million ) , the United Kingdom ( $66.2 million ) and India ( $38.8 million ) . It was the highest - grossing film of 2016 in Europe with a total of $209 million , the United Kingdom and Ireland , and in India ( although it was later surpassed by Sultan , in terms of Hollywood / imported films , it is still the biggest ) . Critical response ( edit ) The vocal performances of Bill Murray ( left ) , Idris Elba ( middle ) , and Ben Kingsley ( right ) were particularly praised . The film received praise for its visual effects , vocal performances , direction , musical score , and its faithfulness to the animated film . On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes , the film has an approval rating of 95 % , based on 296 reviews , with an average rating of 7.7 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` As lovely to behold as it is engrossing to watch , The Jungle Book is the rare remake that actually improves upon its predecessors -- all while setting a new standard for CGI . '' On Metacritic , the film has a score of 77 out of 100 , based on 49 critics , indicating `` generally favorable reviews . '' Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` A '' on an A+ to F scale . Ninety - seven percent of the audience gave the film an A or a B. It got As from both the under - and over-25 crowd and A+ among those under 18 years of age , and also for the over-50 audience . Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter wrote , `` Exceptionally beautiful to behold and bolstered by a stellar vocal cast , this umpteenth film rendition of Rudyard Kipling 's tales of young Mowgli 's adventures amongst the creatures of the Indian jungle proves entirely engaging , even if it 's ultimately lacking in subtext and thematic heft . '' Andrew Barker of Variety felt that this version `` ca n't rival the woolly looseness of Disney 's 1967 animated classic , of course , but it succeeds on its own so well that such comparisons are barely necessary . '' Robbie Collin of The Telegraph gave the film four stars out of five , and deemed it `` a sincere and full - hearted adaptation that returns to Kipling for fresh inspiration . '' Alonso Duralde of The Wrap says `` This ' Book ' might lack the post-vaudeville razzamatazz of its predecessor , but director Jon Favreau and a team of effects wizards plunge us into one of the big screen 's most engrossing artificial worlds since Avatar . '' Peter Bradshaw , writing for The Guardian , gave the film four out of five stars and felt that the film had a touch of Apocalypto in it , finding the plot elements to be similar to those in The Lion King . He wrote that the film was `` spectacular , exciting , funny and fun '' and that it `` handsomely revives the spirit of Disney 's original film . '' Pete Hammond of Deadline.com wrote that the film had laughs , excitement , an exceptional voice cast and , most importantly , a lot of heart , calling it a cinematic achievement like no other . He particularly praised Murray 's performance and the visual effects , deeming it `` simply astonishing . '' Chris Nashawaty of Entertainment Weekly graded the film an `` A -- , '' calling it one of the biggest surprises of 2016 . He , however , felt the two songs were rather unnecessary and distracting , and believed the film to be a little too frightening for children . Richard Roeper of Chicago Sun - Times awarded the film three - and - a-half stars , pointing out the CGI as the apex achievement of the film . He labelled it `` a beautifully rendered , visually arresting take on Rudyard Kipling 's oft - filmed tales '' but found the musical numbers to be trivial , saying that without the musical numbers , the film might have been a more exhilarating streamlined adventure . Los Angeles Times ' Kenneth Turan remarked that `` The Jungle Book is the kind of family film calculated to make even those without families wish they had one to take along . '' Peter Travers of Rolling Stone awarded the film three - and - a-half stars out of four , labeling it scary and thrilling , yet unique and unforgettable , and adding that it `` fills us with something rare in movies today -- a sense of wonder . '' The Village Voice 's Bilge Ebiri hailed the film as fast and light and that it `` manages to be just scary enough to make us feel the danger of solitude in the middle of a massive jungle , but never indulgent or gratuitous . '' The New York Times ' Manohla Dargis was less enthusiastic . Cath Clarke of Time Out compared Elba 's character of Shere Khan to Scar from The Lion King , calling him `` baddie of the year . '' Matt Zoller Seitz of RogerEbert.com also had high praise for Elba 's portrayal of Shere Khan stating : `` His loping menace is envisioned so powerfully that he 'd be scary no matter what , but the character becomes a great villain through imaginative empathy . We understand and appreciate his point - of - view , even though carrying it out would mean the death of Mowgli . '' The film 's visual effects and 3D photography were compared to those of Avatar , Gravity , Hugo , and Life of Pi . Sarah Ward of Screen International wrote that the level of detail on display in the film `` is likely to evoke the same jaw - dropping reaction as James Cameron 's box office topper . '' Entertainment Weekly called it `` one of the few 3D movies that actually benefits from being in 3D . '' The film also had a positive reception from Indian contemporary critics and publications , such as The Times of India , The Hindu , India Today , The Indian Express , and The Economic Times . The film also had its share of negative reviews with most reviewers criticizing the inconsistent tone of the film and the director 's indecision to stick to one vision . Sam C. Mac of Slant Magazine wrote , `` Jon Favreau draws heavily on his film 's animated predecessor for plot , characterizations , songs , and set pieces , but does n't know how to fit these familiar elements into his own coherent vision '' . Josh Spiegel of Movie Mezzanine also echoed these feelings , saying that the film `` stumbles because the people involved are n't willing to fully commit to either making a near - shot - for - shot remake or going in a completely different direction '' . Rene Rodriguez of the Miami Herald felt that the movie was soulless , writing that `` The better these talking beasts look , the more the film resembles a gorgeous screen saver . You admire The Jungle Book , but you ca n't lose yourself in it '' . Accolades ( edit ) Main article : List of accolades received by The Jungle Book ( 2016 film ) Sequel ( edit ) Following the film 's early financial and critical success , the studio has begun working on a sequel . Jon Favreau is reported to return as director and Neel Sethi is reported to reprise his role as Mowgli , while screenwriter Justin Marks is also in negotiations to return . It was announced on April 25 , 2016 that Favreau and Marks will return to direct and write , and the sequel could potentially have a release sometime in 2019 and will be shot back - to - back with a live - action remake of The Lion King .

Nobody Knows You When You 're Down and Out - wikipedia Nobody Knows You When You 're Down and Out Jump to : navigation , search Not to be confused with Nobody Loves You ( When You 're Down and Out ) . `` Nobody Knows You When You 're Down and Out '' Single by Bessie Smith B - side `` Take It Right Back '' Released September 13 , 1929 ( 1929 - 09 - 13 ) Format 10 - inch 78 rpm record Recorded New York City , May 15 , 1929 Genre Blues Length 3 : 00 Label Columbia ( no . 14451 ) Songwriter ( s ) Jimmy Cox `` Nobody Knows You When You 're Down and Out '' is a blues standard written by Jimmy Cox in 1923 . Its lyric , told from the point of view of a one - time millionaire during the Prohibition era , reflects on the fleeting nature of material wealth and the friendships that come and go with it . As a vaudeville - style blues , it was popularized by Bessie Smith , the preeminent female blues singer of the 1920s and 1930s . Since her 1929 recording , it has been interpreted by numerous musicians in a variety of styles . Contents ( hide ) 1 Lyrics and composition 2 Early recordings 3 Bessie Smith song 4 1930s -- 1960s renditions 5 Eric Clapton versions 6 Later recordings 7 Notes 8 References Lyrics and composition ( edit ) When `` Nobody Knows You When You 're Down and Out '' was composed in 1923 by Jimmy Cox , the `` Roaring Twenties '' were coming into full swing . After the post-World War I recession , a new era of prosperity was experienced in the U.S. and elsewhere . However , in the face of all the optimism , Cox wrote a cautionary tale about the fickle nature of fortune and its attendant relationships : Once I lived the life of a millionaire , spendin ' my money I did n't care I carried my friends out for a good time , buying bootleg liquor , champagne and wine When I begin to fall so low , I did n't have a friend and no place to go So if I ever get my hand on a dollar again , I 'm gon na hold on to it ' til them eagles grin Nobody knows you , when you down and out In my pocket not one penny , and my friends I have n't any The song is a moderate - tempo blues with ragtime - influences , which follows an eight - bar progression : I -- III7 VI7 ii -- VI7 ii IV7 -- ♯ IV 7 I -- VI7 II7 V7 Early recordings ( edit ) Although `` Nobody Knows You When You 're Down and Out '' was published in 1923 , the first known recording did not appear until 1927 . Piedmont blues musician Bobby Leecan , who recorded with various ensembles , such as the South Street Trio , Dixie Jazzers Washboard Band , and Fats Waller 's Six Hot Babies , recorded an early rendition of the song as Blind Bobby Baker , with his vocal and fingerpicking - style guitar . His version , recorded in New York around June 1927 , was titled `` Nobody Needs You When You 're Down and Out '' and used some different lyrics with emphasis on the hard times . On January 15 , 1929 , influential boogie - woogie pianist Pinetop Smith recorded `` Nobody Knows You When You 're Down and Out '' in Chicago . In it the lyrics are spoken rather than sung to Smith 's piano accompaniment . The song is one of 11 known recordings by Smith , who died two months after he recorded it . Bessie Smith song ( edit ) Bessie Smith recorded the song on May 15 , 1929 , in New York . Unlike the earlier versions , Bessie Smith recorded the song with instrumental accompaniment , including a small trumpet section . When Smith 's record was released on September 13 , 1929 ( a Friday ) , the lyrics turned out to be oddly prophetic . The New York stock market had reached an all - time high less than two weeks earlier , only to go into its biggest decline two weeks later in the Wall Street Crash of 1929 , which signaled the beginning of the ten - year Great Depression . Bessie Smith 's `` Nobody Knows You When You 're Down and Out '' became one of her biggest hits , but was released before `` race records '' were tracked by record industry publications , such as Billboard magazine . Today , it `` more than any other , is the song that most people associate with Bessie Smith '' . 1930s -- 1960s renditions ( edit ) Due to the popularity of Bessie Smith 's recording , numerous musicians began interpreting the song in recordings of their own . The song became an early standard with jazz and blues artists , such as the Count Basie Orchestra , Louis Jordan And His Tympany Five , Sidney Bechet , Scrapper Blackwell , Eddie Condon , Josh White , Julia Lee , and Lead Belly . In the late 1950s -- early 1960s , it again became popular with the American folk music revival , with recordings by Eric Von Schmidt , Odetta , Chad Mitchell Trio , Dave Van Ronk , and an early demo by Janis Joplin with Jorma Kaukonen . In 1960 , a version by Nina Simone reached number 23 in the Billboard R&B chart as well as number 93 in the Hot 100 pop chart . In the mid-1960s , soul versions were recorded by Sam Cooke and Otis Redding ; rock versions by the Spencer Davis Group , pre-Allman Brothers Band Duane Allman and Gregg Allman , and Them ; and a French version by Nino Ferrer ( as `` Le Millionnaire '' ) . Eric Clapton versions ( edit ) When he was an art student in the early 1960s , Eric Clapton was attracted to London 's folk - music scene and the fingerpicking acoustic guitar - style of Big Bill Broonzy . Along with `` Key to the Highway '' , `` Nobody Knows You When You 're Down and Out '' was one of the first songs that Clapton learned to play in this style . In 1970 , he recorded a group version with his band , Derek and the Dominos , for their debut album Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs . The recording took place at the Criteria Studios in Miami , Florida , with Jim Gordon ( drums ) , Carl Radle ( bass ) , Bobby Whitlock ( organ ) , and Duane Allman ( slide guitar ) . As Whitlock recalled , Sam Samudio , who was also recording at Criteria , suggested that they record the song . This was Duane Allman 's first song with us . I believe that it was a song that he and Eric both had in common ... This song was recorded live , vocals and all , with no overdubs . It was the first take , but of course it was all worked out before we went into it . Allman had recorded `` Nobody Knows You When You 're Down and Out '' earlier with his brother Gregg and used similar guitar lines for the Derek and the Dominos recording . Whitlock also noted that Clapton played through a Fender Champ guitar amplifier ( a five - watt practice amp ) , while Allman used a Fender Twin . Shortly after the studio recording , the song became part of the Dominos live set . Although it did not appear on their 1973 In Concert album , a recording from the Fillmore East on October 24 , 1970 was later included on the expanded Live at the Fillmore album released in 1994 . For this version , Clapton played all the guitar parts and Whitlock performed on piano . In 1992 , Clapton recorded another rendition for the MTV Unplugged series . In keeping with the show 's theme , the song was performed in an acoustic style . Clapton recounted : `` I also enjoyed going back and playing the old stuff like ' Nobody Knows You When You 're Down and Out ' , which was how it all started back in Kingston ( University ) so long ago . '' The version from Unplugged was released as a special limited edition single in Argentina , where it reached number eight on the record chart in 1992 and was certified as a `` gold '' record ( 50,000 copies shipped ) . Later recordings ( edit ) `` Nobody Knows You When You 're Down and Out '' continues to be recorded by many musicians in different styles . To illustrate their variety , some examples include : Dick Hyman , Tom Jones , B.B. King , Katie Melua , Van Morrison , Emmy Rossum , Leslie Odom Jr. , Archie Shepp and Horace Parlan , Rod Stewart , Dave Van Ronk , Neko Case , Bobby Womack , Sara Niemietz , Alberta Hunter , Jorma Kaukonen and Popa Chubby .

It is normally abbreviated with the dollar sign $ , or alternatively TT $ to distinguish it from other dollar - denominated currencies . It is subdivided into 100 cents . Its predecessor currencies are the Trinidadian dollar and the Tobagan dollar . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Coins 3 Banknotes 4 See also 5 Footnotes 6 References 7 External links History ( edit ) The history of currency in the former British colony of Trinidad and Tobago closely follows that of the British Eastern Caribbean territories in general . Even though Queen Anne 's proclamation of 1704 brought the gold standard to the West Indies , silver pieces of eight ( Spanish dollars and later Mexican dollars ) continued to form a major portion of the circulating currency right into the latter half of the nineteenth century . Britain adopted the gold standard in 1821 and an imperial order - in - council of 1838 resulted in Trinidad and Tobago formally adopting the sterling currency . However , despite the circulation of British coins in Trinidad and Tobago , the silver pieces of eight continued to circulate alongside them . The international silver crisis of 1873 signalled the end of the silver dollar era in the West Indies and silver dollars were demonetized in Tobago in 1879 and in Trinidad at around the same period . This left a state of affairs , in which the British coinage circulated , being reckoned in the private sector using dollar accounts at an automatic conversion rate of 1 dollar = 4 shillings 2 pence . Government offices kept their accounts in British pounds , shillings , and pence until the year 1935 when Trinidad and Tobago went decimal . From 1949 , with the introduction of the British West Indies dollar , the currency of Trinidad and Tobago became officially tied up with that of the British Eastern Caribbean territories in general . The British sterling coinage was eventually replaced by a new decimal coinage in 1955 , with the new cent being equal to one half of the old penny . In 1951 , notes of the British Caribbean Territories , Eastern Group , were introduced , replacing Trinidad and Tobago 's own notes . In 1955 , coins were introduced when the dollar was decimalized . In 1964 , Trinidad and Tobago introduced its own dollar . Between 1964 and 1968 the Trinidad and Tobago dollar was utilized in Grenada as legal tender until that country rejoined the common currency arrangements of the East Caribbean dollar . The Trinidad and Tobago dollar and the Eastern Caribbean dollar were the last two currencies in the world to retain the old rating of one pound equals four dollars and eighty cents , as per the gold sovereign to the Pieces of eight . Both of these currencies ended this relationship within a few weeks of each other in 1976 . After VAT was introduced in 1989 , the dollar was switched from a fixed rate to a managed float regime on Easter Weekend , 1993 . For a wider outline of the history of currency in the region , see Currencies of the British West Indies . Coins ( edit ) In 1966 , coins were introduced in denominations of 1 ¢ , 5 ¢ , 10 ¢ , 25 ¢ & 50 ¢ . A large sized $1 coin was first released for circulation in 1969 and again in 1979 before being replaced with a smaller sized version in 1995 more regularly minted . The 1 ¢ & 5 ¢ are struck in bronze , with the other denominations in cupro - nickel . The obverses all feature Trinidad and Tobago 's coat of arms , with the reverse designs solely featuring the denomination until 1976 , when they were replaced by either a national bird or flower in addition to the denomination after the declaration of a republic . The 50 ¢ & $1 coins are scarcely seen in circulation , but can be purchased from banks if requested . There are also coins minted in $5 , $10 , $100 and $200 denominations as well . These coins are not in circulation , and can only be obtained from the Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago , either as part of a special ' eight - coin proof set ' collection ( in the case of the $5 and $10 coins ) or individually ( in the case of the $100 and $200 coins . ) Notably , the $5 and $10 coins are minted in sterling silver , whereas the $100 and $200 are minted in gold . The price of the gold coins fluctuate depending on the current state of the market for gold . Banknotes ( edit ) First government issue one - dollar note ( 1905 ) . In the nineteenth century , the British gold sovereign was valued at four Spanish silver dollars and eighty cents . When the sterling coinage was finally accepted as the main circulating coinage in the British West Indies , the Eastern Caribbean colonies continued nevertheless to use the dollar unit for accounting purposes . The West Indian dollar was therefore equivalent to four shillings and two pence . This Royal Bank of Canada note reflects this state of affairs with its overt mention of the fact that one hundred dollars is equal to twenty pounds , sixteen shillings , and eight pence sterling . This state of affairs was exclusively confined to the Eastern Caribbean region , possibly due to the geographical proximity to British Guiana . British Guiana had a reason to wish to retain the dollar unit owing to its recent changeover from Dutch currency . These factors did not affect Jamaica , Bermuda , or the Bahamas which adopted the sterling currency in both coinage and as the unit of account . First government issue two - dollar note ( 1905 ) . In 1898 , the Colonial Bank introduced $20 notes . These were followed in 1901 by $5. $100 notes were also issued . The last notes were issued in 1926 , after which the Colonial Bank was taken over by Barclays Bank , which issued $5 , $20 & $100 notes until 1941 . In 1905 , notes were introduced by the government in denominations of $1 & $2 , followed by $5 in 1935 , followed by $10 & $20 in 1942 . The Royal Bank of Canada introduced $5 , $20 & $100 notes in 1909 . From 1920 , the notes also bore the denomination in sterling . 100 - dollar notes were not issued after 1920 , whilst the $5 and $20 were issued until 1938 . The Canadian Bank of Commerce introduced $5 , $20 & $100 notes in 1921 , with the $5 & $20 notes issued until 1939 . The Royal Bank of Canada one hundred dollar note , shown here ; is a relic of a monetary system , in which the unit of account was related to the circulating coinage on the basis of two historical coins which were no longer in use . Trinidad and Tobago 100 Dollars banknote of 1964 On 14 December 1964 , the Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago introduced notes for $1 , $5 , $10 & $20 . New denominations in the form of $50 & $100 notes were issued on 6 June 1977 , although the $50 note was not continued after a shipment was stolen prior to issue . The $50 note was taken out of its brief circulation . The reverses of the current notes feature the Central Bank Building of Trinidad & Tobago . The obverses have the coat of arms in the center , a national bird and a place in Trinidad , such as a market , petroleum refinery , etc . In 2002 , new $1 & $20 notes were introduced . In 2003 , new $1 , $5 , $10 & $100 were also introduced . The notes were only slightly changed ; they now have more security features & darker colour . Recently , more security features have been added to the notes by the Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago . In 2012 the $50 note was reintroduced to commemorate Trinidad and Tobago 's Golden Jubilee of Independence . On the front of the note is a Red - capped cardinal bird and the commemorative text around the center of the coat of arms . Two versions of this denomination were released , one without the commemorative text around the centre of the coat of arms ( general circulation ) and one with the commemorative text .

The event later became known as `` The Day the Music Died '' , after singer - songwriter Don McLean so referred to it in his 1971 song `` American Pie '' . At the time , Holly and his band , consisting of Waylon Jennings , Tommy Allsup , and Carl Bunch , were playing on the `` Winter Dance Party '' tour across the United States Midwest . Rising artists Valens and Richardson had joined the tour , as well . The long journeys between venues on board the cold , uncomfortable tour buses adversely affected the performers , with cases of flu and even frostbite . After stopping at Clear Lake to perform , and frustrated by such conditions , Holly chose to charter a plane to reach their next venue in Moorhead , Minnesota . Richardson , who had the flu , swapped places with Jennings , taking his seat on the plane , while Allsup lost his seat to Valens on a coin toss . Soon after takeoff , late at night and in poor , wintry weather conditions , the pilot lost control of the light aircraft , a Beechcraft Bonanza , which subsequently crashed into a cornfield , leaving no survivors . The event has since been mentioned in various songs and films . A number of monuments have been erected at the crash site and in Clear Lake , where an annual memorial concert is also held at the Surf Ballroom , the venue that hosted the artists ' last performance .

For the start of the `` Winter Dance Party '' tour , he assembled a band consisting of Waylon Jennings ( bass ) , Tommy Allsup ( guitar ) , and Carl Bunch ( drums ) , with the opening vocals of Frankie Sardo . The tour was set to cover 24 Midwestern cities in as many days . New hit artist Ritchie Valens , J.P. `` The Big Bopper '' Richardson and Dion DiMucci and his band The Belmonts joined the tour to promote their recordings and make an extra profit . Winter Dance Party Tour schedule , 1959 The tour began in Milwaukee , Wisconsin , on January 23 , 1959 . The amount of travel soon became a logistical problem . The distances between venues had not been properly considered when the performances were scheduled ; instead of `` circling '' around the Midwest to each town , the tour zig - zagged with distances between cities over 400 miles . General Artists Corporation , the organization that booked the tour , later received considerable criticism for their seemingly total disregard for the conditions they forced the touring musicians to endure : `` They did n't care . It was like they threw darts at a map ... The tour from hell -- that 's what they named it -- and it 's not a bad name . '' Buddy Holly historian Bill Griggs The entire company of musicians traveled together in one bus , although the buses used for the tour were wholly inadequate , breaking down and being replaced with astounding frequency . Griggs estimates that five separate buses were used in the first 11 days of the tour -- `` reconditioned school buses , not good enough for school kids . '' The artists themselves were responsible for loading and unloading equipment at each stop , as no road crew assisted them . Adding to the disarray , the buses were not equipped for the weather which consisted of waist - deep snow in several areas and varying temperatures from the 20s to as low as - 36 ° F. One bus had a heating system that broke down shortly after the tour began , in Appleton , Wisconsin . Later , Richardson and Valens began experiencing flu - like symptoms and drummer Bunch was hospitalized for severely frostbitten feet , after the tour bus simply broke down in the middle of the highway in subzero temperatures near Ironwood , Michigan . The musicians replaced that bus with another school bus and kept traveling . After Bunch was hospitalized , Carlo Mastrangelo of The Belmonts took over the drumming duties . When Dion and The Belmonts were performing , the drum seat was taken by either Valens or Holly . As Holly 's group had been the backing band for all of the acts , Holly , Valens , and DiMucci took turns playing drums for each other at the performances in Green Bay , Wisconsin , and Clear Lake , Iowa . On Monday , February 2 , the tour arrived in Clear Lake , Iowa , having driven 350 miles from the previous day 's concert in Green Bay . The town had not been a scheduled stop , but the tour promoters , hoping to fill an open date , called the manager of the local Surf Ballroom , Carroll Anderson ( 1920 - 2006 ) , and offered him the show . He accepted , and they set the show for that night . By the time Holly arrived at the venue that evening , he was frustrated with the ongoing problems with the bus . The next scheduled destination after Clear Lake was Moorhead , Minnesota , a 365 - mile drive north and northwest ( and , emphasizing the poor planning , a journey that would take them directly back through two towns they had already played within the last week . ) No let up after that was in sight , as the following day , they were scheduled to travel back almost directly south to Sioux City , Iowa , a 325 - mile trip . Holly decided to charter a plane to take his band and him to Fargo , North Dakota , which is adjacent to Moorhead . The rest of the party would have picked him up in Moorhead , saving him the journey in the bus and leaving him time to get some rest . Flight arrangements ( edit ) A V - tailed Bonanza similar to N3794N , the accident aircraft Surf Ballroom manager Anderson called Hubert Jerry Dwyer ( 1930 - 2016 ) , owner of the Dwyer Flying Service , a company in Mason City , Iowa , to charter the plane to fly to Hector Airport in Fargo , the closest one to Moorhead . Flight arrangements were made with Roger Peterson , a 21 - year - old local pilot described as a `` young married man who built his life around flying '' . The flying service charged a fee of $36 per passenger for the flight on the 1947 single - engined , V - tailed Beechcraft 35 Bonanza ( registration N3794N ) , which could seat three passengers plus the pilot . A popular misconception , originating from Don McLean 's eponymous song about the crash , was that the plane was called American Pie . In fact , no record exists of any name ever having been given to N3794N . The most widely accepted version of events was that Richardson had contracted flu during the tour and asked Waylon Jennings for his seat on the plane . When Holly learned that Jennings was not going to fly , he said in jest : `` Well , I hope your ol ' bus freezes up . '' Jennings responded : `` Well , I hope your ol ' plane crashes '' , a humorous but ill - fated response that haunted him for the rest of his life . Ritchie Valens , who once had a fear of flying , asked Tommy Allsup for his seat on the plane . The two agreed to toss a coin to decide . Bob Hale , a DJ with KRIB - AM , was working the concert that night and flipped the coin in the ballroom 's side - stage room shortly before the musicians departed for the airport . Valens won the coin toss for the seat on the flight . In contradiction to the testimony of Allsup and Jennings , Dion has since said that Holly approached him along with Valens and The Bopper to join the flight , not Holly 's bandmates . In a 2009 interview called `` The Winter Dance Party '' , Dion claimed that Holly called him , Valens , and Richardson into a vacant dressing room during Frankie Sardo 's performance and said `` I 've chartered a plane , we 're the guys making the money ( we should be the ones flying ahead ) ... the only problem is there are only two available seats . '' According to Dion , it was Valens , not Richardson who had fallen ill , so Valens and Dion flipped a coin for the seat . In his interview , no mention is made of Jennings or Allsup being invited on the plane . Dion claims that he won the toss , but ultimately decided that since the $36 fare ( equivalent to US $300 in today 's money ) equaled the monthly rent his parents paid for his childhood apartment , he could not justify the indulgence . Take - off and crash ( edit ) After the show ended , Anderson drove Holly , Valens , and Richardson to the Mason City Municipal Airport . The weather at the time of departure was reported as light snow , a ceiling of 3,000 feet ( 910 m ) AMSL with sky obscured , visibility 6 miles ( 9,700 m ) , and winds from 20 to 30 mph ( 32 to 48 km / h ) . Although deteriorating weather was reported along the planned route , the weather briefings pilot Peterson received failed to relay the information . Mason City and Clear Lake , Iowa The plane took off normally from runway 17 ( today 's runway 18 ) at 12 : 55 am Central Time on Tuesday , February 3 . Dwyer , the owner of the flight service company , witnessed the take - off from a platform outside the control tower . He was able to see clearly the aircraft 's tail light for most of the brief flight , which started with an initial left turn onto a northwesterly heading and a climb to 800 ft . The tail light was then observed gradually descending until it disappeared out of view . Around 1 : 00 am , when Peterson failed to make the expected radio contact , repeated attempts to establish communication were made , at Dwyer 's request , by the radio operator , but they were all unsuccessful . Later that morning , Dwyer , having heard no word from Peterson since his departure , took off in another airplane to retrace his planned route . Within minutes , at around 9 : 35 am , he spotted the wreckage less than 6 mi ( 9.7 km ) northwest of the airport . The sheriff 's office , alerted by Dwyer , dispatched Deputy Bill McGill , who drove to the crash site , a cornfield belonging to Albert Juhl . The Bonanza had impacted terrain at high speed , estimated to have been around 170 mph ( 270 km / h ) , banked steeply to the right and in a nose - down attitude . The right wing tip had struck the ground first , sending the aircraft cartwheeling across the frozen field for 540 feet ( 160 m ) , before coming to rest against a wire fence at the edge of Juhl 's property . The bodies of Holly and Valens had been ejected from the torn fuselage and lay near the wreckage . Richardson 's body had been thrown over the fence and into the cornfield of Juhl 's neighbor Oscar Moffett , while pilot Peterson 's body was entangled in the plane 's wreckage . With the rest of the entourage en route to Minnesota , ballroom manager Carroll Anderson , who had driven the party to the airport and witnessed the plane 's takeoff , had to identify the bodies of the musicians . County coroner Ralph Smiley certified that all four victims died instantly , citing the cause of death as `` gross trauma to brain '' for the three artists and `` brain damage '' for the pilot . An Air Force Airman covering the region wrote about witnessing the flight 's final moments on radar : Their airplane registered on the radar of the 789th Air Force Radar Station located near Omaha for a few sweeps . Long enough for the Search Radar Operator to contact me and notify me of the appearance of the new target . As Movements and Identification Operator , my job was to identify every radar return as Friend or Foe . I had enough time to realize the blip was moving away from our site , thus it was a Probably Friendly , and before we could set up a track on the board , the blip faded from sight . Some time later , before the crash site was found , we were asked if we had seen it . The last location was given and in effect , we were the last people to see Rock and Roll , before they and their music died . -- Willis S. Cole , Jr. , A2C ( 1957 -- 61 ) , 789th AC&W ( 1959 -- 61 ) , Aftermath ( edit ) Holly 's pregnant wife , María Elena , learned of his death from the reports on television . A widow after only six months of marriage , she suffered a miscarriage shortly after , reportedly due to `` psychological trauma '' . Holly 's mother , on hearing the news on the radio at home in Lubbock , Texas , screamed and collapsed . María Elena Holly did not attend the funeral and has never visited the gravesite . She later said in an interview : `` In a way , I blame myself . I was not feeling well when he left . I was two weeks pregnant , and I wanted Buddy to stay with me , but he had scheduled that tour . It was the only time I was n't with him . And I blame myself because I know that , if only I had gone along , Buddy never would have gotten into that airplane . '' The `` Winter Dance Party '' tour did not stop ; Waylon Jennings and Tommy Allsup continued performing for two more weeks , with Jennings taking Holly 's place as lead singer . Meanwhile , the funerals of the victims were being held individually ; Holly and Richardson were buried in Texas , Valens in California , and pilot Peterson in Iowa . Official investigation ( edit ) The wreckage of N3794N as found by the authorities on the morning of the accident The official investigation was carried out by the Civil Aeronautics Board ( CAB , precursor to the NTSB ) . It emerged that pilot Roger Peterson had over four years of flying experience , of which one with Dwyer Flying Service , and had accumulated 711 flying hours , of which 128 on Bonanzas . He had also logged 52 hours of instrument flying training , although had passed only his written examination , and was not yet qualified to operate in weather that required flying solely by reference to instruments . He and Dwyer Flying Service itself were certified to operate only under visual flight rules , which essentially require that the pilot must be able to see where he is going . However , on the night of the accident , visual flight would have been virtually impossible due to the low clouds , the lack of a visible horizon , and the absence of ground lights over the sparsely populated area . Furthermore , Peterson , who had failed an instrument checkride nine months before the accident , had received his instrument training on airplanes equipped with a conventional artificial horizon as source of aircraft attitude information , while N3794N was equipped with an older - type Sperry F3 attitude gyroscope . Crucially , the two types of instruments display the same aircraft pitch attitude information in graphically opposite ways . The CAB concluded that the accident was due to `` the pilot 's unwise decision to embark on a flight '' that required instrument flying skills he had not proved to have . A contributing factor was the pilot 's unfamiliarity with the old - style attitude gyroscope fitted on board the aircraft , which may have caused him to believe that he was climbing when he was in fact descending ( an example of spatial disorientation ) . Another contributing factor was the `` seriously inadequate '' weather briefing provided to the pilot , which `` failed to even mention adverse flying condition which should have been highlighted '' . Subsequent investigations ( edit ) On March 6 , 2007 , in Beaumont , Texas , Richardson 's body was exhumed for reburial in a more fitting part of the local Forest Lawn cemetery . The musician 's son , Jay Perry , took the opportunity to have his father 's body re-examined to verify the original findings , and asked forensic anthropologist William Bass to carry out the procedure . Among the rumors surrounding the accident that this second examination sought to verify was that an accidental firearm discharge took place on board the aircraft and caused the crash , since two months after the event , a farmer had found at the crash site a . 22 ( 5.6 mm ) pistol known to have belonged to Buddy Holly . Another rumor had Richardson surviving the initial impact and crawling out of the aircraft in search for help , prompted by the fact that his body was found farther from the wreckage than the other three . Bass and his team took several X-rays of Richardson 's body and eventually concluded that the musician had indeed died instantly from extensive , nonsurvivable fractures to almost all of his bones ; no traces of lead were found from any bullet . Coroner Smiley 's original report was , therefore , confirmed . In March 2015 , the National Transportation Safety Board ( NTSB ) received a request to reopen the investigation into the accident . The request was made by L.J. Coon , a retired pilot from New England who felt that the conclusion of the 1959 investigation was inaccurate . Coon suspected a possible failure of the right rudder , or a problem with the fuel system , as well as a possible improper weight distribution . Coon also argued that Peterson may have tried to land the plane and that his efforts should be recognized . In April 2015 , the NTSB declined the request , citing that the evidence presented by Coon was insufficient to merit the reconsideration of the original findings . Legacy ( edit ) Notification of victims ' families ( edit ) Following the miscarriage suffered by Holly 's wife and the circumstances in which she was informed of his death , a policy was later adopted by authorities not to disclose victims ' names until after their families have been informed . Memorials ( edit ) A memorial service for Roger Peterson was held at Redeemer Lutheran Church , Ventura , Iowa , on February 5 . A funeral was held the next day at St. Paul Lutheran Church in his hometown of Alta ; Peterson was buried in Buena Vista Memorial Cemetery in nearby Storm Lake . His grave site is located at coordinates N 42 39.189 W 095 13.996 . Peterson 's parents later received condolence letters from the families of Holly and Valens . Films ( edit ) The accident is mentioned in the biographical film The Buddy Holly Story ( 1978 ) . The accident is also depicted in the Ritchie Valens biopic La Bamba ( 1987 ) . Memorial concerts ( edit ) Fans of Holly , Valens , and Richardson have been gathering for annual memorial concerts at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake since 1979 . The 50th - anniversary concert took place on February 2 , 2009 , with Delbert McClinton , Joe Ely , Wanda Jackson , Los Lobos , Los Lonely Boys , Chris Montez , Bobby Vee , Graham Nash , Peter and Gordon , Tommy Allsup , and a house band featuring Chuck Leavell , James `` Hutch '' Hutchinson , Bobby Keys , and Kenny Aronoff . Jay P. Richardson , the son of the Big Bopper , was among the participating artists , and Bob Hale was the master of ceremonies , as he was at the 1959 concert . Monuments ( edit ) Signpost near the Clear Lake crash site In June 1988 , a four - foot - tall granite memorial bearing the names of Peterson and the three entertainers was dedicated outside the Surf Ballroom with Peterson 's widow , parents , and sister in attendance ; the event marked the first time that the families of Holly , Richardson , Valens , and Peterson had gathered together . In 1989 , Ken Paquette , a Wisconsin fan of the 1950s era , made a stainless - steel monument that depicts a guitar and a set of three records bearing the names of the three performers killed in the accident . The monument is on private farmland , about ⁄ mi ( 0.40 km ) west of the intersection of 315th Street and Gull Avenue , 5 mi ( 8.0 km ) north of Clear Lake . Paquette also created a similar stainless - steel monument to the three musicians located outside the Riverside Ballroom in Green Bay , Wisconsin , where Holly , the Big Bopper , and Valens played their second - to - last show on the night of February 1 , 1959 . This second memorial was unveiled on July 17 , 2003 . In February 2009 , a further memorial made by Paquette for pilot Roger Peterson was unveiled at the crash site . A large plasma - cut steel set of Wayfarer - style glasses , constructed by Michael Connor of Clear Lake , similar to those Holly wore , sits at the access point to the crash site . Roads ( edit ) A road originating near the Surf Ballroom , extending north and passing to the west of the crash site , is now known as Buddy Holly Place . Songs ( edit ) `` American Pie '' The song `` American Pie '' dubbed the accident `` The Day The Music Died '' Problems playing this file ? See media help . Eddie Cochran 's `` Three Stars '' ( 1959 ) is the first song to commemorate the musicians . Don McLean later addressed the accident in his song `` American Pie '' ( 1971 ) , dubbing it `` the Day the Music Died '' , which for McLean symbolized the `` loss of innocence '' of the early rock - and - roll generation . Waylon Jennings mentioned the accident in his song `` A Long Time Ago '' ( 1978 ) , which he co-wrote with Shel Silverstein . In the song , he says , `` Do n't ask me who I gave my seat to on that plane / I think you already know .

The Dodgers compete in Major League Baseball ( MLB ) as a member club of the National League ( NL ) West division . Established in 1883 in Brooklyn , New York , the team moved to Los Angeles before the 1958 season . They played for four seasons at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum before moving to their current home of Dodger Stadium in 1962 . The Dodgers as a franchise have won six World Series titles and 22 National League pennants. 11 NL MVP award winners have played for the Dodgers , winning a total of 13 MVP Awards , Eight Cy Young Award winners have pitched for the Dodgers , winning a total of twelve Cy Young Awards . The team has also produced 18 Rookie of the Year Award winners , twice as many as the next closest team , including four consecutive from 1979 to 1982 and five consecutive from 1992 to 1996 .

In the 1930s , the team changed its name to the Dodgers , named after the Brooklyn pedestrians who dodged the streetcars in the city . In 1941 , the Dodgers captured their third National League pennant , only to lose to the New York Yankees . This marked the onset of the Dodgers -- Yankees rivalry , as the Dodgers would face them in their next six World Series appearances . Led by Jackie Robinson , the first black Major League Baseball player of the modern era ; and three - time National League Most Valuable Player Roy Campanella , also signed out of the Negro Leagues , the Dodgers captured their first World Series title in 1955 by defeating the Yankees for the first time , a story notably described in the 1972 book The Boys of Summer . Following the 1957 season the team left Brooklyn . In just their second season in Los Angeles , the Dodgers won their second World Series title , beating the Chicago White Sox in six games in 1959 . Spearheaded by the dominant pitching style of Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale , the Dodgers captured three pennants in the 1960s and won two more World Series titles , sweeping the Yankees in four games in 1963 , and edging the Minnesota Twins in seven in 1965 . The 1963 sweep was their second victory against the Yankees , and their first against them as a Los Angeles team . The Dodgers won four more pennants in 1966 , 1974 , 1977 and 1978 , but lost in each World Series appearance . They went on to win the World Series again in 1981 , thanks in part to pitching sensation Fernando Valenzuela . The early 1980s were affectionately dubbed `` Fernandomania . '' In 1988 , another pitching hero , Orel Hershiser , again led them to a World Series victory , aided by one of the most memorable home runs of all time , by their injured star outfielder Kirk Gibson coming off the bench to pinch hit with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning of game 1 , in his only appearance of the series . The Dodgers share a fierce rivalry with the San Francisco Giants , the oldest rivalry in baseball , dating back to when the two franchises played in New York City . Both teams moved west for the 1958 season . The Brooklyn Dodgers and Los Angeles Dodgers have collectively appeared in the World Series 19 times , while the New York Giants and San Francisco Giants have collectively appeared 20 times and have been invited 21 times . The Giants have won two more World Series ( 8 ) ; the Dodgers have won 22 National League pennants , while the Giants hold the record with 23 . Although the two franchises have enjoyed near equal success , the city rivalries are rather lopsided and in both cases , a team 's championships have predated to the other 's first one in that particular location . When the two teams were based in New York , the Giants won five World Series championships , and the Dodgers one . After the move to California , the Dodgers have won five in Los Angeles , the Giants have won three in San Francisco . Team history ( edit ) Brooklyn Dodgers ( edit ) Main article : History of the Brooklyn Dodgers The Dodgers were founded in 1883 as the Brooklyn Atlantics , taking the name of a defunct team that had played in Brooklyn before them . The team joined the American Association in 1884 and won the AA championship in 1889 before joining the National League in 1890 . They promptly won the NL Championship their first year in the League . The team was known alternatively as the Bridegrooms , Grooms , Superbas , Robins , and Trolley Dodgers before officially becoming the Dodgers in the 1930s . In Brooklyn , the Dodgers won the NL pennant several times ( 1890 , 1899 , 1900 , 1916 , 1920 , 1941 , 1947 , 1949 , 1952 , 1953 , 1955 , 1956 ) and the World Series in 1955 . After moving to Los Angeles , the team won National League pennants in 1959 , 1963 , 1965 , 1966 , 1974 , 1977 , 1978 , 1981 , 1988 , and 2017 , with World Series championships in 1959 , 1963 , 1965 , 1981 , 1988 . In all , the Dodgers have appeared in 19 World Series : 9 in Brooklyn and 10 in Los Angeles . Jackie Robinson ( edit ) Main article : Jackie Robinson For most of the first half of the 20th century , no Major League Baseball team employed an African American player . Jackie Robinson became the first African American to play for a Major League Baseball team when he played his first major league game on April 15 , 1947 , as a member of the Brooklyn Dodgers . This was mainly due to general manager Branch Rickey 's efforts . The deeply religious Rickey 's motivation appears to have been primarily moral , although business considerations were also a factor . Rickey was a member of The Methodist Church , the antecedent denomination to The United Methodist Church of today , which was a strong advocate for social justice and active later in the American Civil Rights Movement . This event was the harbinger of the integration of professional sports in the United States , the concomitant demise of the Negro Leagues , and is regarded as a key moment in the history of the American Civil Rights movement . Robinson was an exceptional player , a speedy runner who sparked the team with his intensity . He was the inaugural recipient of the Rookie of the Year award , which is now named the Jackie Robinson Award in his honor . The Dodgers ' willingness to integrate , when most other teams refused to , was a key factor in their 1947 -- 1956 success . They won six pennants in those 10 years with the help of Robinson , three - time MVP Roy Campanella , Cy Young Award winner Don Newcombe , Jim Gilliam and Joe Black . Robinson would eventually go on to become the first African - American elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962 . Move to Los Angeles ( edit ) Former Dodger greats who played in both Brooklyn and Los Angeles adorn the exterior of Dodger Stadium . Real estate businessman Walter O'Malley acquired majority ownership of the Dodgers in 1950 , when he bought the 25 percent share of co-owner Branch Rickey and became allied with the widow of the another equal partner , Mrs. John L. Smith . Before long , he was working to buy new land in Brooklyn to build a more accessible and better arrayed ballpark than Ebbets Field . Beloved as it was , Ebbets Field was no longer well - served by its aging infrastructure and the Dodgers could no longer sell out the park even in the heat of a pennant race , despite largely dominating the National League from 1946 to 1957 . O'Malley wanted to build a new , state of the art stadium in Brooklyn . But City Planner Robert Moses and New York politicians refused to grant him the eminent domain authority required to build pursuant to O'Malley's plans . To put pressure on the city , during the 1955 season , O'Malley announced that the team would play seven regular season games and one exhibition game at Jersey City 's Roosevelt Stadium in 1956 . Moses and the City considered this an empty threat , and did not believe O'Malley would go through with moving the team from New York City . After teams began to travel to and from games by air instead of train , it became possible to include locations in the far west . Los Angeles officials attended the 1956 World Series looking to the Washington Senators to move to the West Coast . When O'Malley heard that LA was looking for a club , he sent word to the Los Angeles officials that he was interested in talking . LA offered him what New York would not : a chance to buy land suitable for building a ballpark , and own that ballpark , giving him complete control over all revenue streams . When the news came out , NYC Mayor Robert F. Wagner , Jr. and Moses made an offer to build a ballpark on the World 's Fair Grounds in Queens that would be shared by the Giants and Dodgers . However , O'Malley was interested in his park only under his conditions , and the plans for a new stadium in Brooklyn seemed like a pipe dream . O'Malley decided to move the Dodgers to California , convincing Giants owner Horace Stoneham to move to San Francisco instead of Minneapolis to keep another team on the West Coast to ease approval of the moves . There was no turning back : the Dodgers were heading for Hollywood . The Dodgers played their final game at Ebbets Field on September 24 , 1957 , which the Dodgers won 2 -- 0 over the Pittsburgh Pirates . New York would remain a one - team town with the New York Yankees until 1962 , when Joan Payson founded the New York Mets and brought National League baseball back to the city . The blue background used by the Dodgers , would be adopted by the Mets , honoring their New York NL forebears with a blend of Dodgers blue and Giants orange . Los Angeles Dodgers ( edit ) Main article : History of the Los Angeles Dodgers The Dodgers were the first Major League Baseball team to ever play in Los Angeles . On April 18 , 1958 , the Dodgers played their first LA game , defeating the former New York and now new San Francisco Giants , 6 -- 5 , before 78,672 fans at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum . Catcher Roy Campanella , left partially paralyzed in an off - season accident , was never able to play in Los Angeles . The 1959 World Series was played partially at the LA Coliseum while Dodger Stadium was being built . Construction on Dodger Stadium was completed in time for Opening Day 1962 . With its clean , simple lines and its picturesque setting amid hills and palm trees , the ballpark quickly became an icon of the Dodgers and their new California lifestyle . O'Malley was determined that there would not be a bad seat in the house , achieving this by cantilevered grandstands that have since been widely imitated . More importantly for the team , the stadium 's spacious dimensions , along with other factors , gave defense an advantage over offense and the Dodgers moved to take advantage of this by assembling a team that would excel with its pitching . Since moving to Los Angeles , the Dodgers have won 10 more National League Championships and five World Series rings . Other historical Notes ( edit ) Historical records and firsts ( edit ) First baseball team to win championships in different leagues in consecutive years ( 1889 -- 1890 ) First television broadcast ( 1939 ) First use of batting helmets ( 1941 ) First MLB team to employ and start an African - American player in the 20th century ( Jackie Robinson , 1947 ) First MLB team to have numbers on the front of their uniforms ( 1952 ) First West Coast team ( 1958 ) -- along with the San Francisco Giants First MLB team to allow a female sports journalist into a locker room ( Anita Martini , 1974 ) Largest home - opener attendance : 78,672 ( 1958 ) ( since broken by the Colorado Rockies in 1993 ) Largest single game attendance : 93,103 ( 1959 ) and 115,300 ( 2008 ) * World Record First MLB team to open an office in Asia ( 1998 ) Longest MLB record for home start going 13 -- 0 ( 2009 ) North American record for the buying of a sports team ( $2 billion , 2012 ) First MLB team to employ a female lead trainer ( Sue Falsone , 2012 ) Origin of the nickname ( edit ) The Dodgers ' official history reports that the term `` Trolley Dodgers '' was attached to the Brooklyn ballclub due to the complex maze of trolley cars that weaved its way through the borough of Brooklyn . In 1892 , the city of Brooklyn ( Brooklyn was an independent city until annexed by New York City in 1898 ) began replacing its slow - moving , horse - drawn trolley lines with the faster , more powerful electric trolley lines . Within less than three years , by the end of 1895 , electric trolley accidents in Brooklyn had resulted in more than 130 deaths and maimed well over 500 people . Brooklyn 's high - profile , the significant number of widely reported accidents , and a trolley strike in early 1895 , combined to create a strong association in the public 's mind between Brooklyn and trolley dodging . Sportswriters started using the name `` trolley dodgers '' to refer to the Brooklyn team early in the 1895 season . The name was shortened to , on occasion , the `` Brooklyn Dodgers '' as early as 1898 . Sportswriters in the early 20th century began referring to the Dodgers as the `` Bums '' , in reference to the team 's fans and possibly because of the `` street character '' nature of Jack Dawkins , the `` Artful Dodger '' in Charles Dickens ' Oliver Twist . Newspaper cartoonist Willard Mullin used a drawing of famous clown Emmett Kelly to depict `` Dem Bums '' : the team would later use `` Weary Willie '' in promotional images , and Kelly himself was a club mascot during the 1950s . Other team names used by the franchise were the Atlantics , Grays , Grooms , Bridegrooms , Superbas and Robins . All of these nicknames were used by fans and sportswriters to describe the team , but not in any official capacity . The team 's legal name was the Brooklyn Base Ball Club . However , the Trolley Dodger nickname was used throughout this period , simultaneously with these other nicknames , by fans and sportswriters of the day . The team did not use the name in any formal sense until 1932 , when the word `` Dodgers '' appeared on team jerseys . The `` conclusive shift '' came in 1933 , when both home and road jerseys for the team bore the name `` Dodgers '' . Examples of how the many popularized names of the team were used are available from newspaper articles before 1932 . A New York Times article describing a game in 1916 starts out : `` Jimmy Callahan , pilot of the Pirates , did his best to wreck the hopes the Dodgers have of gaining the National League pennant '' , but then goes on to comment : `` the only thing that saved the Superbas from being toppled from first place was that the Phillies lost one of the two games played '' . What is interesting about the use of these two nicknames is that most baseball statistics sites and baseball historians generally now refer to the pennant - winning 1916 Brooklyn team as the Robins . A 1918 New York Times article uses the nickname in its title : `` Buccaneers Take Last From Robins '' , but the subtitle of the article reads : `` Subdue The Superbas By 11 To 4 , Making Series An Even Break '' . Another example of the use of the many nicknames is found on the program issued at Ebbets Field for the 1920 World Series , which identifies the matchup in the series as `` Dodgers vs. Indians '' despite the fact that the Robins nickname had been in consistent use for around six years . The `` Robins '' nickname was derived from the name of their Hall of Fame manager , Wilbert Robinson , who led the team from 1914 to 1931 . Uniforms ( edit ) The Dodgers ' home uniform has remained relatively unchanged for 70 years The Dodgers ' uniform has remained relatively unchanged since the 1930s . The home jersey is white with `` Dodgers '' written in script across the chest in Dodger Blue . The road jersey is grey with `` Los Angeles '' written in script across the chest in Dodger Blue . The word `` Dodgers '' was first used on the front of the team 's home jersey in 1933 ; the uniform was then white with red pinstripes and a stylized `` B '' on the left shoulder . The Dodgers also wore green outlined uniforms and green caps throughout the 1937 season but reverted to blue the following year . The current design was created in 1939 , and has remained the same ever since with only cosmetic changes . In 1952 , the home uniform added a red uniform number under the `` Dodgers '' script . The road jersey also has a red uniform number under the script . When the franchise moved from Brooklyn to Los Angeles , the city name on the road jersey changed , and the stylized `` B '' was replaced with the interlocking `` LA '' on the caps in 1958 . In 1970 , the Dodgers removed the city name from the road jerseys and had `` Dodgers '' on both the home and away uniforms . The city script returned to the road jerseys in 1999 , and the tradition - rich Dodgers flirted with an alternate uniform for the first time since 1944 ( when all - blue satin uniforms were introduced ) . These 1999 alternate jerseys had a royal blue top with the `` Dodgers '' script in white across the chest , and the red number on the front . These were worn with white pants and a new cap with silver brim , top button and Dodger logo . These alternates proved unpopular and the team abandoned them after only one season . In 2014 , the Dodgers introduced an alternate road jersey : a grey version with the `` Dodgers '' script instead of the city name . Current logo using `` Dodgers '' Script Los Angeles Dodgers Script on Dodger Blue Asian players ( edit ) Chan Ho Park The Dodgers have been groundbreaking in their signing of players from Asia ; mainly , Japan , South Korea , and Taiwan . Former owner Peter O'Malley began reaching out in 1980 by starting clinics in China and South Korea , building baseball fields in two Chinese cities , and in 1998 becoming the first major league team to open an office in Asia . The Dodgers were the second team to start a Japanese player in recent history , pitcher Hideo Nomo , the first team to start a South Korean player , pitcher Chan Ho Park , and the first Taiwanese player , Chin - Feng Chen . In addition , they were the first team to send out three Asian pitchers , from different Asian countries , in one game : Park , Hong - Chih Kuo of Taiwan , and Takashi Saito of Japan . In the 2008 season , the Dodgers had the most Asian players on its roster of any major league team with five . They included Japanese pitchers Takashi Saito and Hiroki Kuroda ; South Korean pitcher Chan Ho Park ; and Taiwanese pitcher Hong - Chih Kuo and infielder Chin - Lung Hu . In 2005 , the Dodgers ' Hee Seop Choi became the first Asian player to compete in the Home Run Derby . For the 2013 season , the Dodgers signed starting pitcher Hyun - Jin Ryu with a six - year , $36 million contract , after posting a bid of nearly $27 million to acquire him from the KBO 's Hanhwa Eagles . For the 2016 season , the Dodgers signed starting pitcher Kenta Maeda with an eight - year , $25 million contract , after posting a bid of $20 million to acquire him from the NPB 's Hiroshima Toyo Carp . Rivalries ( edit ) The Dodgers ' rivalry with the San Francisco Giants dates back to the 19th century , when the two teams were based in New York ; the rivalry with the New York Yankees took place when the Dodgers were based in New York , but was revived with their East Coast / West Coast World Series battles in 1963 , 1977 , 1978 , and 1981 . The Dodgers rivalry with the Philadelphia Phillies also dates back to their days in New York , but was most fierce during the 1970s , 1980s , and 2000s . The Dodgers also had a heated rivalry with the Cincinnati Reds during the 1970s , 1980s and early 1990s . The rivalry with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and the San Diego Padres dates back to the Angels ' and Padres ' respective inaugural seasons ( Angels in 1961 , Padres in 1969 ) . Regional proximity is behind the rivalries with both the Angels and the Padres . San Francisco Giants ( edit ) Main article : Dodgers -- Giants rivalry The Dodgers -- Giants rivalry is one of the longest - standing rivalries in American baseball . The feud between the Dodgers and the San Francisco Giants began in the late 19th century when both clubs were based in New York City , with the Dodgers playing in Brooklyn and the Giants playing at the Polo Grounds in Manhattan . After the 1957 season , Dodgers owner Walter O'Malley moved the team to Los Angeles for financial and other reasons . Along the way , he managed to convince Giants owner Horace Stoneham -- who was considering moving his team to Minnesota -- to preserve the rivalry by bringing his team to California as well . New York baseball fans were stunned and heartbroken by the move . Given that the cities of Los Angeles and San Francisco have been bitter rivals in economic , cultural , and political arenas for over a century and a half , the new venue in California became fertile ground for its transplantation . Each team 's ability to endure for over a century while moving across an entire continent , as well as the rivalry 's leap from a cross-city to a cross-state engagement , have led to the rivalry being considered one of the greatest in sports history . Unlike many other historic baseball match - ups in which one team remains dominant for most of their history , the Dodgers -- Giants rivalry has exhibited a persistent balance in the respective successes of the two teams . While the Giants have more wins in franchise history , and lead all NL teams with 23 National League pennants , the Dodgers are second , having won 21 ; the Giants have won eight World Series titles , while the Dodgers have won six . The 2010 World Series was the Giants ' first championship since moving to California , while the Dodgers had won five World Series titles since their move , their last title coming in the 1988 World Series . Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim ( edit ) Main article : Freeway Series This rivalry refers to a series of games played with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim . The Freeway Series takes its name from the massive freeway system in the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area , the home of both teams ; one could travel from one team 's stadium to the other simply by traveling along Interstate 5 . The term is akin to Subway Series which refers to meetings between New York City baseball teams . The term `` Freeway Series '' also inspired the official name of the regions ' NHL rivalry : the Freeway Face - Off Historical rivalry ( edit ) New York Yankees ( edit ) Main articles : Dodgers -- Yankees rivalry and Subway Series The Dodgers -- Yankees rivalry is one of the most well - known rivalries in Major League Baseball . The two teams have met eleven times in the World Series , more times than any other pair from the American and National Leagues . The initial significance was embodied in the two teams ' proximity in New York City , when the Dodgers initially played in Brooklyn . After the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles in 1958 , the rivalry retained its significance as the two teams represented the dominant cities on each coast of the United States , and since the 1980s , the two largest cities in the United States . Although the rivalry 's significance arose from the two teams ' numerous World Series meetings , the Yankees and Dodgers have not met in the World Series since 1981 . They would not play each other in a non-exhibition game until 2004 , when they played a three - game interleague series . Their last meeting was in September 2016 , when the Dodgers won two out of three games in New York . Fan support ( edit ) A fan waves a rally towel during the 2008 NLCS The Dodgers have a loyal fanbase , evidenced by the fact that the Dodgers were the first MLB team to attract more than 3 million fans in a season ( in 1978 ) , and accomplished that feat six more times before any other franchise did it once . The Dodgers drew at least 3 million fans for 15 consecutive seasons from 1996 to 2010 , the longest such streak in all of MLB . On July 3 , 2007 , Dodgers management announced that total franchise attendance , dating back to 1901 , had reached 175 million , a record for all professional sports . In 2007 , the Dodgers set a franchise record for single - season attendance , attracting over 3.8 million fans . In 2009 , the Dodgers led MLB in total attendance . The Dodger baseball cap is consistently in the top three in sales . During the 2011 - 2012 season , Frank McCourt , the owner of the Dodgers at that time , was going through a rough divorce with his wife over who should be the owner of the Dodger team . Instead , Frank McCourt paid $131 million to his wife as part of the divorce settlement . As a result , the team payroll was financially low for a big - budget team crippling the Dodgers in the free - agent market . Collectively , the team performance waned due to the distracting drama in the front office resulting in low attendance numbers . Given the team 's proximity to Hollywood , numerous celebrities can often be seen attending home games at Dodger Stadium . Celebrities such as co-owner Magic Johnson , Mary Hart , Larry King , Tiger Woods , Alyssa Milano and Shia LaBeouf are known to sit at field box seats behind home plate where they sign autographs for fellow Dodger fans . Actor Bryan Cranston is a lifelong Dodger fan . The Dodgers set the world record for the largest attendance for a single baseball game during an exhibition game against the Boston Red Sox on March 28 , 2008 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in honor of the Dodgers 50th anniversary , with 115,300 fans in attendance . All proceeds from the game benefited the official charity of the Dodgers , ThinkCure ! which supports cancer research at Children 's Hospital Los Angeles and City of Hope . Primarily Dodgers fans are from their own location in southern California and also parts of southern Nevada ; however there are also strong pockets of Dodger support in Mexico and throughout Asia , and their away games throughout the US will usually attract substantial numbers of expat and traveling fans . Radio and television ( edit ) Main article : List of Los Angeles Dodgers broadcasters Hall of Fame Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully Vin Scully had called Dodgers games from 1950 to 2016 . His longtime partners were Jerry Doggett ( 1956 -- 1987 ) and Ross Porter ( 1977 -- 2004 ) . In 1976 , he was selected by Dodgers fans as the Most Memorable Personality ( on the field or off ) in the team 's history . He is also a recipient of the Baseball Hall of Fame 's Ford C. Frick Award for broadcasters ( inducted in 1982 ) . Unlike the modern style in which multiple sportscasters have an on - air conversation ( usually with one functioning as play - by - play announcer and the other ( s ) as color commentator ) , Scully , Doggett and Porter generally called games solo , trading with each other inning - by - inning . In the 1980s and 1990s , Scully would call the entire radio broadcast except for the third and seventh inning , allowing the other Dodger commentators to broadcast an inning . When Doggett retired after the 1987 season , he was replaced by Hall - of - Fame Dodgers pitcher Don Drysdale , who previously broadcast games for the California Angels and Chicago White Sox . Drysdale died in his hotel room following a heart attack before a game in Montreal in 1993 . This was a difficult broadcast for Scully and Porter who could not mention it on - air until Drysdale 's family had been notified and the official announcement made . He was replaced by former Dodgers outfielder Rick Monday . Porter 's tenure ended after the 2004 season , after which the format of play - by - play announcers and color commentators was installed , led by Monday and newcomer Charley Steiner . Scully , however , continued to announce solo . Scully called roughly 100 games per season ( all home games and road games in California and Arizona ) for both flagship radio station KLAC and on television for SportsNet LA . Scully was simulcast for the first three innings of each of his appearances , then announced only for the TV audience . If Scully was calling the game , Steiner took over play - by - play on radio beginning with the fourth inning , with Monday as color commentator . If Scully was not calling the game , Steiner and Orel Hershiser called the entire game on television while Monday and Kevin Kennedy did the same on radio . In the event the Dodgers were in post-season play , Scully called the first three and last three innings of the radio broadcast alone and Steiner and Monday handled the middle innings . Vin Scully retired from calling games in 2016 . His tenure with the Dodgers was the longest with any single sports team at 67 years . The Dodgers also broadcast on radio in Spanish , and the play - by - play is voiced by another Frick Award winner , Jaime Jarrín , who has been with the Dodgers since 1959 . The color analyst for some games is former Dodger pitcher Fernando Valenzuela , for whom Jarrin once translated post-game interviews . The Spanish - language radio flagship station is KTNQ .

This was the year in which Koufax was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame ; Robinson and Campanella were already Hall - of - Famers . Alston 's number was retired in the year following his retirement as the Dodgers manager , six years before he was inducted into the Hall of Fame . Gilliam died suddenly in 1978 after a 28 - year career with the Dodgers organization . The Dodgers retired his number two days after his death , prior to Game 1 of the 1978 World Series . He is the only non-Hall - of - Famer to have his number retired by the Dodgers . Beginning in 1980 , the Dodgers have retired the numbers of longtime Dodgers ( Snider , Reese , Drysdale , Lasorda , and Sutton ) during the seasons in which each was inducted into the Hall of Fame . In 1997 , 50 years after he broke the color barrier and 25 years after the Dodgers retired his number , Robinson 's No. 42 was retired throughout Major League Baseball . Robinson is the only major league baseball player to have this honor bestowed upon him . Starting in the 2007 season , Jackie Robinson Day ( April 15 , commemorating Opening Day of Robinson 's rookie season of 1947 ) has featured many or all players and coaches wearing the number 42 as a tribute to Robinson . The Dodgers have not issued the number 34 since the departure of Fernando Valenzuela in 1991 , although it has not been officially retired .

Over the nearly 43 years from 1954 to mid-1996 , the Dodgers employed only two managers , Walter Alston and Tommy Lasorda , both of whom are in the Hall of Fame . During this entire time period of extraordinary stability , the Dodgers were family owned by Walter O'Malley and then his son Peter O'Malley . It was during this era that the Dodgers won 11 of their 21 pennants , and all six of their World Series championships . The managers of the Los Angeles Dodgers ( 1958 -- present ) are as follows : Walter Alston ( 1958 -- 1976 ) ( in Brooklyn since 1954 ) Tommy Lasorda ( 1976 -- 1996 ) Bill Russell ( 1996 -- 1998 ) Glenn Hoffman ( 1998 ) Davey Johnson ( 1999 -- 2000 ) Jim Tracy ( 2001 -- 2005 ) Grady Little ( 2006 -- 2007 ) Joe Torre ( 2008 -- 2010 ) Don Mattingly ( 2011 -- 2015 ) Dave Roberts ( 2016 -- present ) General Managers ( edit ) Larry MacPhail ( 1938 -- 1942 ) Branch Rickey ( 1943 -- 1950 ) Buzzie Bavasi ( 1950 -- 1968 ) Fresco Thompson ( 1968 ) Al Campanis ( 1968 -- 1987 ) Fred Claire ( 1987 -- 1998 ) Tommy Lasorda ( 1998 ) Kevin Malone ( 1999 -- 2001 ) Dave Wallace ( 2001 ) Dan Evans ( 2001 -- 2004 ) Paul DePodesta ( 2004 -- 2005 ) Ned Colletti ( 2005 -- 2014 ) Farhan Zaidi ( 2014 -- present ) Public address announcers / organists ( edit ) From the Dodgers ' move to Los Angeles from Brooklyn in 1958 , the Dodgers employed a handful of well - known public address announcers ; the most famous of which was John Ramsey , who served as the PA voice of the Dodgers from 1958 until his retirement in 1982 ; as well as announcing at other venerable Los Angeles venues , including the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and Sports Arena , and the Forum . Ramsey died in 1990 . From 1958 to 1982 , Doug Moore , a local businessman ; Philip Petty , an Orange County Superior Court Judge ; and Dennis Packer ; served as back - up voices for John Ramsey for the Dodgers , California Angels , Los Angeles Chargers , USC football and Los Angeles Rams . Packer was Ramsey 's primary backup for the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Kings until Ramsey 's retirement from the Forum in 1978 . Thereafter , Packer became the public address announcer for the Lakers , Kings , indoor soccer and indoor tennis events at the Forum . Nick Nickson , a radio broadcaster for the Los Angeles Kings , replaced John Ramsey as the Dodger Stadium public address announcer in 1983 and served in that capacity through the 1989 season to work with the Kings full - time . Dennis Packer and Pete Arbogast were emulators of John Ramsey , using the same stentorian style of announcing Ramsey was famous for . Packer and Arbogast shared the stadium announcing chores for the 1994 FIFA World Cup matches at the Rose Bowl . Arbogast won the Dodgers job on the day that Ramsey died on January 25 , 1990 , by doing a verbatim imitation of Ramsey 's opening and closing remarks that were standard at each game . His replacement , in 1993 was Mike Carlucci , who remained as the Dodgers ' PA voice until 2003 to concentrate on his voiceover and acting career along with his Olympics announcing duties . Through 2014 , the Dodgers public address announcer was Eric Smith , who also announces for the Los Angeles Clippers and USC Trojans . On April 3 , 2015 the Dodgers announced that former radio broadcaster Todd Leitz would become their new public address announcer . Leitz was an anchor and news reporter in Los Angeles at KNX 1070 AM for 10 years , and a news reporter at KABC 790 for two years . During their time in Brooklyn , stadium organist Gladys Gooding became so well - known that fans would joke that she was `` the only Dodger who played every game without an error '' . Until 2015 , Nancy Bea enjoyed a similar level of popularity behind the Dodger Stadium keyboard . Her replacement and current organist is Dieter Ruehle , who also plays at Staples Center for Los Angeles Kings and Los Angeles Lakers games . Other ( edit ) Vin Scully is permanently honored in the Hall 's `` Scribes & Mikemen '' exhibit as a result of winning the Ford C. Frick Award in 1982 . As with all Frick Award recipients , he is not officially considered an inducted member of the Hall of Fame . Sue Falsone , served as the first female physical therapist in Major League baseball , and from 2012 to 2013 , was the first female head athletic trainer .

Chromebook
Chromebook - wikipedia Chromebook Jump to : navigation , search Chromebook Samsung Series 3 Chromebook Product type Personal computer -- Notebook Owner Google Introduced June 15 , 2011 ( 2011 - 06 - 15 ) Website www.google.com/chromebook/ A Chromebook is a laptop running the Linux - based Chrome OS as its operating system . The devices are primarily used to perform a variety of tasks using the Google Chrome browser , with most applications and data residing in the cloud rather than on the machine itself . The first Chromebooks for sale , by Acer Inc. and Samsung , began shipping on June 15 , 2011 . In addition to laptop models , a desktop version , called a Chromebox , was introduced in May 2012 , and an `` all - in - one '' device , called a Chromebase , was introduced in January 2014 , by LG Electronics . Chromebooks are primarily sold both directly from Google and from the company 's retail partners . By 2012 , schools had become the largest category of customer . That October , Google broadened its marketing strategy to include first - time computer users and households seeking an additional computer . In October 2012 , Simon Phipps , writing in InfoWorld , said , `` The Chromebook line is probably the most successful Linux desktop / laptop computer we 've seen to date '' . From January to November 2013 , 1.76 million Chromebooks were sold in US business - to - business channels . ABI Research ( and others ) have shown them most popular in the US K -- 12 education market ( and growing elsewhere , at least , in Western Europe ) and `` anticipates Chromebooks to continue to dominate the education market in 2016 '' . In April 2017 , the Electronic Frontier Foundation accused Google of using Chromebooks to collect and data mine `` school children 's personal information , including their Internet searches '' , without their parents ' consent , two years after EFF filed a federal complaint against the company .

Lenovo , Hewlett Packard and Google itself entered the market in early 2013 . In December 2013 , Samsung launched a Samsung Chromebook specifically for the Indian market that employed the company 's Exynos 5 Dual core processor . In addition to laptop models , a desktop version , called a Chromebox , was introduced in May 2012 , and an `` all - in - one '' device was introduced in January 2014 , by LG Electronics . The all - in - one is named the Chromebase . Critical reaction to the device was initially skeptical , with some reviewers , such as then New York Times technology columnist David Pogue , unfavorably comparing the value proposition of Chromebooks with that of more fully featured laptops running the Microsoft Windows operating system . That complaint dissipated later in reviews of machines from Acer and Samsung that were priced lower . In February 2013 , Google announced and began shipping the Chromebook Pixel , a higher - spec machine with a high - end price tag . The Pixel C is based on Android . In January 2015 , Acer announced the first big screen Chromebook , the Acer Chromebook 15 with an FHD 15.6 - inch display . Integration with Android ( edit ) In May 2016 , Google announced it would make Android apps available on Chromebooks via the Google Play application distribution platform . At the time , Google Play access was scheduled for the ASUS Chromebook Flip , the Acer Chromebook R 11 and the most recent Chromebook Pixel , with other Chromebooks slated over time . Partnering with Google , Samsung released the Chromebook Plus and Chromebook Pro in early 2017 , the first Chromebooks to come with the Play Store pre-installed . A February 2017 review in The Verge reported that the Plus with its ARM processor handled Android apps `` much better '' than the Intel - based Pro , but said that `` Android apps on Chrome OS are still in beta '' and are `` very much ( an ) unfinished experience . '' The number of Chrome OS systems supporting Android apps in either the stable or beta channel is increasing . Design ( edit ) Samsung Chromebook Series 3 with bottom panel removed Initial hardware partners for Chromebook development included Acer , Adobe , Asus , Freescale , Hewlett - Packard ( later HP Inc . ) , Lenovo , Qualcomm , Texas Instruments , Toshiba , Intel , Samsung , and Dell . Chromebooks ship with Google Chrome OS , an operating system that uses the Linux kernel and the Google Chrome web - browser with an integrated media - player . Enabling developer mode allows the installation of Linux distributions on Chromebooks . Crouton is a script that allows the installation of Linux distributions from Chrome OS , and running both operating systems simultaneously . Some Chromebooks include SeaBIOS , which can be turned on to install and boot Linux distributions directly . With limited offline capability and a fast boot - time , Chromebooks are primarily designed for use while connected to the Internet . Instead of installing traditional applications such as word processing and instant messaging , users add web apps from the Chrome Web Store . Google claims that a multi-layer security architecture eliminates the need for anti-virus software . Support for many USB devices such as cameras , mice , external keyboards and flash drives is included , utilizing a feature similar to plug - and - play on other operating systems . Like the prototype Cr - 48 , Chromebooks have a specialized keyboard complete with buttons for opening and controlling multiple browser - windows , as well as a Web search button which replaces the caps lock key ( caps lock being activated by pressing both alt + search ) . An analysis of the Samsung Series 5 components by iFixit in June 2011 , estimated a total cost of $334.32 , representing US $ 322.12 in materials and US $12.20 in labor . With an initial retail price of US $499.99 that also pays for retail margins , shipping , marketing , and research and development , the profit margins on the Chromebooks are quite thin , requiring a large production run to make a profit . While Chromebooks are designed to be used when connected to the Internet , users are able to access Google applications such as Gmail , Google Calendar , Google Keep , and Google Drive in offline mode . Chromebooks also come with a built - in local music - player , a photo editor , and a PDF - and Microsoft Office document - viewer that are functional without Internet access . Other apps with offline support include Amazon 's Cloud Reader , the New York Times App , and Angry Birds . Google Play video content is available offline using an extension to the Chrome browser . All Chromebooks , except the first three , boot with the help of Coreboot , a fast - booting BIOS . The integration of Android and Chrome , announced in 2016 , is anticipated to drive the design and form factor of future Chromebooks , including an expected first Chrome OS tablet . Sales and marketing ( edit ) The first two commercially available Chromebooks , the Samsung Series 5 and the Acer AC700 , were unveiled on May 11 , 2011 , at the Google I / O developer conference . They were to begin selling through online channels , including Amazon and Best Buy in the United States , the United Kingdom , France , Germany , the Netherlands , Italy and Spain starting June 15 , 2011 ; however , Acer 's AC700 was not available until early July . The first machines sold for between $349 and $499 , depending on the model and 3G option . Google also offered a monthly payment scheme for business and education customers at $28 and $20 per user , per month , respectively for a three - year contract , including replacements and upgrades . Verizon offers models equipped with 3G / 4G LTE connectivity 100 -- 200 MB of free wireless data per month , for two years . Google 's early marketing efforts relied primarily on hands - on experience : giving away Samsung machines to 10 Cr - 48 pilot program participants along with the title Chromebook Guru and lending Chromebooks to passengers on some Virgin America flights . At the end of September 2011 , Google launched the Chrome Zone , a `` store within a store '' , inside the Currys and PC World superstore in London . The store had a Google - style look and feel with splashes of color all around the retail store front . The concept was later changed to a broader in - store Google shop , which has not expanded beyond the PC World on Tottenham Court Road . In addition to these marketing strategies , Google Chrome has created several `` Chromebook minis '' that demonstrate the ease of use and simplicity of the devices in a comical manner . For example , when the question `` How do you back up a Chromebook '' is asked , it is implied to refer to data backup , but instead , shows two hands pushing a Chromebook back to the end of a table . This is followed by the statement , `` You do n't have to back up a Chromebook , '' showing how all data is stored on the web . In an article published on ZDNet in June 2011 , entitled `` Five Chromebook concerns for businesses '' , Steven J. Vaughan - Nichols faulted the devices for lack of virtual private network capability , not supporting some Wi - Fi security methods , in particular Wi - Fi Protected Access II ( WPA2 ) Enterprise with Extensible Authentication Protocol - Transport Layer Security ( EAP - TLS ) or Cisco 's Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol ( LEAP ) . He also noted that its file manager does not work , the need to use the undocumented crosh shell to accomplish basic tasks such as setting up a secure shell ( SSH ) network connection as well as serious deficiencies in documentation . In one of the first customer reviews , the City of Orlando , Florida , reported on their initial testing of 600 Chromebooks as part of a broader study related to accessing virtual desktops . Early indications show potential value in reducing IT support costs . End users have indicated that the Chromebook is easy to travel with and starts up quickly . One stated that `` If I just need to stay connected for emergencies , I take my Chrome , '' but when traveling for business she would still take her laptop . Orlando does plan to continue to use the Chromebooks . On November 21 , 2011 , Google announced price reductions on all Chromebooks . Since then , the Wi - Fi - only Samsung Series 5 was reduced to $349 , the 3G Samsung Series 5 was reduced to $449 , and the Acer AC700 was reduced to $299 . The updated Series 5 550 and the Chromebox , the first Chrome OS desktop machines , were released by Samsung in May 2012 . While the two lowest cost Chromebooks emerged later in the fall : the $249 Samsung Series 3 and the $199 Acer C7 . The following February , Google introduced the most costly machine , their Chromebook Pixel , with a starting price of $1299 . All models released after May 2012 , include 100 GB -- 1.09 TB of Google Drive cloud storage and 12 GoGo WiFi passes . By January 2013 , Acer 's Chromebook sales were being driven by `` heavy Internet users with educational institutions '' , and the platform represented 5 - 10 percent of the company 's US shipments , according to Acer president Jim Wong . He called those numbers sustainable , contrasting them with low Windows 8 sales which he blamed for a slump in the market . Wong said that the company would consider marketing Chromebooks to other developed countries , as well as to corporations . He noted that although Chrome OS is free to license for hardware vendors , it has required greater marketing expenditure than Windows , offsetting the licensing savings . During the first 11 months of 2013 , 1.76 million Chromebooks sold in the United States , representing 21 % of the US commercial business - to - business laptop market . During the same period in 2012 , Chromebooks sold 400,000 units and had a negligible market share . In January 2015 , Silviu Stahie noted in Softpedia that Chromebooks were eating into Microsoft 's market share . He said `` Microsoft is engaged in a silent war and it 's actually losing . They are fighting an enemy that is so insidious and so cunning that it 's actually hurting the company more than anything else . The enemy is called Chromebooks and they are using Linux ... There is no sign that things are slowing down and Microsoft really needs a win , and soon if it wants to remain relevant . '' In 2015 , Chromebooks , by sales volume ( to companies in the US ) , are second after Windows based devices ( with Android tablets , overtaking Apple 's devices in 2014 ) : `` Chromebook sales through the U.S. B2B channels increased 43 percent during the first half of 2015 , helping to keep overall B2B PC and tablet sales from falling . ( ... ) Sales of Google OS - equipped ( Android and Chrome ) devices saw a 29 percent increase over 2014 propelled by Chromebook sales , while Apple devices declined 12 percent and Windows devices fell 8 percent . '' Education market ( edit ) A Paradise Valley Unified School District student using a Chromebook as part of the organization 's pilot project The education market has been the Chromebooks ' most notable success , competing on the low cost of the hardware , software and upkeep . The simplicity of the machines , which could be a drawback in other markets , has proven an advantage to school districts by reducing training and maintenance costs . By January 2012 , even while commercial sales were flat , Google placed nearly 27,000 Chromebooks in schools across 41 states in the US , including `` one - on - one '' programs , which allocate a computer for every student in South Carolina , Illinois , and Iowa . As of August 2012 , over 500 school districts in the United States and Europe were using the device . In 2016 , Chromebooks represented 58 percent of the 2.6 million mobile devices purchased by U.S. schools and about 64 percent of that market outside the U.S. By contrast , sales of Apple tablets and laptops to U.S. schools dropped that year to 19 percent , compared with 52 percent in 2012 . Helping spur Chromebook sales is Google Classroom , an app designed for teachers in 2014 , that serves as a hub for classroom activities including attendance , classroom discussions , homework , and communication with students and parents . There have , however , been concerns about privacy within the context of the education market for Chromebooks . School officials at schools issuing Chromebooks for students have affirmed that students have no right to privacy when using school - issued Chromebooks , even at home , and that all online and offline activity can be monitored by the school using third - party software pre-installed on the laptops . Further , the Electronic Frontier Foundation has complained that Google itself is violating the privacy of students , by enabling the synchronisation function within Google Chrome ( `` Chrome Sync '' ) by default , allowing web browsing histories and other data of students - including those under - 13 - to be stored on Google servers and potentially used for purposes other than authorised educational purposes . A point of contention has been the fact that users of school - issued Chromebooks can not change these settings themselves as a measure to protect their privacy as only the administrator who issued the laptops can change them . The EFF claims that this violates a Student Privacy Pledge already signed by Google in 2014 . EFF staff attorney Nate Cardozo stated : `` Minors should n't be tracked or used as guinea pigs , with their data treated as a profit center . If Google wants to use students ' data to ' improve Google products ' , then it needs to get express consent from parents .

Google ( edit ) Cr - 48 ( edit ) Cr - 48 At a December 7 , 2010 , press briefing , Google announced the Chrome OS Pilot Program , a pilot experiment and the first Chromebook , the Cr - 48 Chrome Notebook , a prototype , to test the Chrome OS operating system and modified hardware for it . The device had a minimal design and was all black , completely unbranded although it was made by Inventec , and had a rubberized coating . The device was named after Chromium - 48 , an unstable isotope of the metallic element Chromium , and the participants were named Cr - 48 Test Pilots . Google distributed about 60,000 Cr - 48 Chrome Notebooks between December 2010 and March 2011 for free to participants and in return asked for feedback such as suggestions and bug reports . The Cr - 48 was intended for testing only , not retail sales . The Cr - 48 's hardware design broke convention by replacing certain keys with shortcut keys , such as the function keys , and replacing the caps lock key with a dedicated search key , which can be changed back to caps lock in the OS 's keyboard settings . Google addressed complaints that the operating system offers little functionality when the host device is not connected to the Internet , demonstrated an offline version of Google Docs , and announced a 3G plan that would give users 100 MB of free data each month , with additional paid plans available from Verizon . The device 's USB port is capable of supporting a keyboard , mouse , Ethernet adapter , or USB storage , but not a printer , as Chrome OS offers no print stack . Adding further hardware outside of the previously mentioned items will likely cause problems with the operating system 's `` self knowing '' security model . Users instead were encouraged to use a secure service called Google Cloud Print to print to legacy printers connected to their desktop computers , or to connect an HP ePrint , Kodak Hero , Kodak ESP , or Epson Connect printer to the Google Cloud Print service for a `` cloud aware '' printer connection . The Cr - 48 prototype laptop gave reviewers their first opportunity to evaluate Chrome OS running on a device . Ryan Paul of Ars Technica wrote that the machine `` met the basic requirements for Web surfing , gaming , and personal productivity , but falls short for more intensive tasks . '' He praised Google 's approach to security , but wondered whether mainstream computer users would accept an operating system whose only application is a browser . He thought Chrome OS `` could appeal to some niche audiences '' : people who just need a browser or companies that rely on Google Apps and other Web applications . But the operating system was `` decidedly not a full - fledged alternative to the general purpose computing environments that currently ship on netbooks . '' Paul wrote that most of Chrome OS 's advantages `` can be found in other software environments without having to sacrifice native applications . '' In reviewing the Cr - 48 on December 29 , 2010 , Kurt Bakke of Conceivably Tech wrote that a Chromebook had become the most frequently used family appliance in his household . `` Its 15 second startup time and dedicated Google user accounts made it the go - to device for quick searches , email as well as YouTube and Facebook activities . '' But the device did not replace other five notebooks in the house : one for gaming , two for the kids , and two more for general use . `` The biggest complaint I heard was its lack of performance in Flash applications . '' In ongoing testing , Wolfgang Gruener , also writing in Conceivably Tech , said that cloud computing at cellular data speeds is unacceptable and that the lack of offline ability turns the Cr - 48 `` into a useless brick '' when not connected . `` It 's difficult to use the Chromebook as an everyday device and give up what you are used to on a Mac / Windows PC , while you surely enjoy the dedicated cloud computing capabilities occasionally . '' Pixel ( edit ) Main article : Chromebook Pixel Chromebook Pixel ( WiFi ) Launched by Google in February 2013 , the Chromebook Pixel remains the high - end machine in the Chromebook family . The laptop has an unusual 3 : 2 display aspect ratio touch screen featuring what was at its debut the highest pixel density of any laptop , a faster CPU than its predecessors in the Intel Core i5 , and an exterior design described by Wired as `` an austere rectangular block of aluminum with subtly rounded edges '' . A second Pixel featuring LTE wireless communication and twice the storage capacity was shipped for arrival on April 12 , 2013 . The machine received much media attention , with many reviewers questioning the Pixel 's value proposition compared to similarly priced Windows machines and the MacBook Air . Samsung ( edit ) Samsung Series 5 ( edit ) Samsung Series 5 Reviewing the Samsung Series 5 specifications , Scott Stein of CNET was unimpressed with a machine with a 12 - inch screen and just 16 GB of onboard storage . `` Chrome OS might be lighter than Windows XP , but we 'd still prefer more media storage space . At this price , you could also get an 11.6 - inch ( 290 mm ) Wi - Fi AMD E-350 - powered ultraportable running Windows 7 . '' On the other hand , MG Siegler of TechCrunch wrote a largely favorable review , praising the improvements in speed and trackpad sensitivity over the CR - 48 prototype , as well as the long battery life and the fact that all models are priced below the iPad . In June 2011 , iFixit dismantled a Samsung Series 5 and concluded that it was essentially an improved Cr - 48 . They rated it as 6 / 10 for repairability , predominantly because the case has to be opened to change the battery and because the RAM chip is soldered to the motherboard . iFixit noted that the `` mostly - plastic construction '' felt `` a little cheap '' . On the plus side they stated that the screen was easy to remove and most of the components , including the solid - state drive would be easy to replace . iFixit 's Kyle Wiens wrote that the Series 5 `` fixes the major shortfalls of the Cr - 48 and adds the polish necessary to strike lust into the heart of a broad consumer base : sleek looks , 8 + hours of battery life , and optimized performance . '' Samsung Series 5 550 ( edit ) In May 2012 , Samsung introduced the Chromebook Series 5 550 , with a Wi - Fi model and more expensive 3G model . Reviews generally questioned the value proposition . Dana Wollman of Engadget wrote that the Chromebook 's keyboard `` put thousand - dollar Ultrabooks to shame '' and offered better display quality than on many laptops selling for twice as much . But the price `` seems to exist in a vacuum -- a place where tablet apps are n't growing more sophisticated , where Transformer - like Win8 tablets are n't on the way and where there are n't some solid budget Windows machines to choose from . '' Joe Wilcox of BetaNews wrote that `` price to performance and how it compares to other choices '' is `` where Chromebook crumbles for many potential buyers . '' He noted that the new models sell for more than their predecessors , and while the price - performance ratio is quite favorable compared to the MacBook Air , `` by the specs , there are plenty of lower - cost options . '' Samsung Series 3 ( edit ) Samsung Series 3 Chromebook In October 2012 , the Series 3 Chromebook was introduced at a San Francisco event with the Samsung Chromebook XE303 . The device was cheaper , thinner and lighter than the Chromebook 550 . Google marketed the Series 3 as the computer for everyone , due to its simple operating system ( Chrome OS ) and affordable price . Target markets included students and first - time computer users , as well as households looking for an extra computer . The lower price proved a watershed for some reviewers . New York Times technology columnist David Pogue reversed his earlier thumbs - down verdict on the Chromebook , writing that `` $250 changes everything . '' The price is half that of an `` iPad , even less than an iPad Mini or an iPod Touch . And you 're getting a laptop . '' He wrote that the Chromebook does many of the things people use computers and laptops for : playing flash videos , and opening Microsoft Office documents . `` In other words , Google is correct when it asserts that the Chromebook is perfect for schools , second computers in homes and businesses who deploy hundreds of machines . '' CNET 's review of the Series 3 Chromebook was even more favorable , saying the machine largely delivered as a computer for students and as an additional computer for a household -- especially for users who are already using Google Web applications like Google Docs , Google Drive , and Gmail . `` It 's got workable if not standout hardware , its battery life is good , it switches on quickly , and the $249 price tag means it 's not as much of a commitment as the $550 Samsung Series 5 550 that arrived in May . '' The review subtracted points for performance . `` It 's fine for many tasks , but power users accustomed to having more than a couple dozen browser tabs open should steer clear . '' Samsung Chromebook 3 ( edit ) The Chromebook 3 is distinct from and distinguished from the similarly named Samsung Series 3 in several respects : newer ( released 2016 ) , different architecture ( Intel Celeron N3050 instead of Exynos 5 Dual ARM Cortex ) , thinner ( 0.7 `` ) , and less expensive ( about $100 less than the Series 3 ) ; while remaining a full implementation of ChromeOS . HP ( edit ) HP 's first Chromebook , and the largest Chromebook on the market at that time , was the Pavilion 14 Chromebook launched February 3 , 2013 . It had an Intel Celeron 847 CPU and either 2GB or 4GB of RAM . Battery life was not long , at just over 4 hours , but the larger form factor made it more friendly for all - day use . HP introduced the Chromebook 11 on October 8 , 2013 , in the US . In December 2013 , Google and HP recalled 145,000 chargers due to overheating . Sales were halted , resuming with a redesigned charger the following month . The HP Chromebook 14 was announced September 11 , 2013 with an Intel Haswell Celeron processor , USB 3.0 ports , and 4G broadband . Engadget praised the computer 's design and convenient micro-USB charging , but criticized a sticky trackpad and short battery life , worse than the Samsung Chromebook with the same Exynos processor . An updated version of the Chromebook lineup was announced on September 3 , 2014 . The 11 - inch models included an Intel processor while the 14 - inch models featured a fanless design powered by a Nvidia Tegra K1 processor . HP Chromebooks are available in several colors . Desktop variants ( edit ) Two types of desktop computers also run Chrome OS . Chromebox ( edit ) Main article : Chromebox Classed as small form - factor PCs , Chromeboxes typically feature a power switch and a set of ports : local area network , USB , DVI - D , DisplayPort , and audio . As with Chromebooks , Chromeboxes employ solid - state memory and support Web applications , but require an external monitor , keyboard , and pointing device .

Dongle variants ( edit ) Chromebit ( edit ) The Chromebit is a dongle running on Google 's Chrome OS operating system . When placed in the HDMI port of a television or a monitor , this device turns that display into a personal computer . Chromebit allows adding a keyboard or mouse over Bluetooth or via the USB port .

Kristen Stewart plays Bella in the Twilight film series . Edward Cullen Main article : Edward Cullen Edward Cullen ( born Edward Anthony Masen ) is a major character , implicated in all of the Twilight Saga films and books . As stated in the first and second novels , he was born on June 20 , 1901 , in Chicago , Illinois , and was frozen in his 17 - year - old body while dying of the Spanish influenza , when he was changed into a vampire by Dr. Carlisle Cullen . As shown in Twilight , Carlisle only did so because Edward 's dying mother , Elizabeth , begged him to save Edward . A member of the Olympic Coven , Edward only drinks animal blood and has the special ability to read minds . He falls in love with Bella soon after she arrives in Forks . Edward knows that he could kill Bella easily , a fact that torments him so much that , in the book New Moon , he decided to leave Forks with his family so they would n't be able to hurt her . He returned because he realized he can not live without her . Edward marries Bella in Breaking Dawn and they have a daughter , Renesmee . Robert Pattinson plays Edward in the Twilight film series . Jacob Black Main article : Jacob Black Jacob Black is Bella 's best friend . He is a Quileute Native American and a werewolf . In Twilight , Jacob plays the minor role of a forgotten childhood friend of Bella 's , and he develops a crush on her . In an attempt to learn more about Cullens , Bella flirts with Jacob , and he tells her tribe legends about `` the cold ones '' , or vampires . After Edward leaves Bella in New Moon , she spends much of her time with Jacob . Though she only considers him a friend , Jacob falls in love with Bella . Although he spends most of his time in Eclipse trying to win Bella , in Breaking Dawn he imprints -- an involuntary process in which a werewolf finds their soul mate -- on Bella and Edward 's daughter , Renesmee . Taylor Lautner plays Jacob in the Twilight film series . Carlisle Cullen Carlisle Cullen ( also known as Stregone Benefico ) is Esme Cullen 's husband and the adoptive father of Edward , Emmett and Alice Cullen , as well as Rosalie and Jasper Hale . His first appearance was in Twilight and his physical age is 23 . Carlisle is described to look like a model ; he has blond hair , and is slender but muscular . Carlisle theorizes that when a human is turned into a vampire , they will have an enhanced ability from their previous life . He believes he brought compassion from his human life . Carlisle has had centuries to perfect his medicinal talents , therefore making him an excellent doctor . Unlike most vampires , he is not at all tempted by the scent of human blood , due to the over 300 years he has spent holding back his temptations . Carlisle Cullen was the son of an Anglican priest , born in 1640s London , England , during a time of religious upheaval . His father and other pastors hunted creatures such as witches , werewolves , and vampires , often mistaking humans for them . As his father grew older , Carlisle assumed his role . One night , he was attacked by a vampire and left to die on the streets . Knowing he would be rejected by society , he hid himself and silently endured the painful transformation , emerging as a vampire . Horrified by what he had become , he attempted suicide multiple times , but failed due to his supernatural strength . One night , unable to endure hunger any longer , he fed on some passing deer . Subsequently , realizing he could avoid feeding on humans , he committed himself to resisting his blood lust and to becoming a doctor . For a short time , Carlisle lived with the Volturi , though he eventually left and traveled to the New World . While treating patients with the Spanish Influenza , he met an ill woman who begged him to save her dying son , Edward . Out of loneliness , Carlisle transformed Edward into a vampire , and Edward became his companion . Soon after , in 1921 , Carlisle moved to Ashland , Wisconsin where he treated Esme after her failed suicide attempt brought on by her infant son 's death . Carlisle felt compelled to save her and transformed her into a vampire , subsequently falling in love with her , and later marrying her . Carlisle then found Rosalie Hale , a young woman nearly killed by her drunken fiancé and his friends in Rochester , New York , and left in the street to die after smelling the blood and transformed her . Later , while hunting , Rosalie found a young man named Emmett who had been mauled by a bear , and carried him over 100 miles to Carlisle . Carlisle then transformed Emmett , since Rosalie was unwilling to do it herself , fearing her blood lust would overwhelm her . After Carlisle changed Emmett , Carlisle and his family moved to Hoquiam , Washington where the Quileute Native American tribe offered the Cullens a treaty : the Quileutes would leave them alone if the Cullen family never attacked any humans or trespassed on Quileute land . The Cullens agreed and lived in relative peace until they had to move on . Between the Cullens ' first and second stay in Washington , Alice and Jasper joined his coven as well , having found Carlisle on their own . Throughout the Twilight saga , Carlisle works as a doctor , acting as the coven leader and offering medical advice and help when Bella is pregnant in Breaking Dawn . Forbes magazine claimed in its 2009 Fictional 15 list of the wealthiest fictional characters that Carlisle is the richest of them all , using 370 years of compound interest and timely investments to amass an estimated fortune of $34.5 billion . Peter Facinelli plays Carlisle in the Twilight film series . Esme Cullen Esme Cullen ( born Esme Platt and later Esme Evenson ) is Carlisle Cullen 's wife and the adoptive mother of Edward , Emmett and Alice Cullen , as well as Rosalie and Jasper Hale . She enjoys restoring old houses and her physical age is 26 . She has no special power , but has a strong ability to love passionately . Esme is described as having caramel - colored hair ; she also has a heart - shaped face with dimples , and her figure is slender , but rounded and soft . Esme was born in 1895 in Columbus , Ohio , where she was treated at the age of 16 by Carlisle after breaking her leg when climbing a tree . She married Charles Evenson , but he abused her . After finding out she was pregnant , she ran away and gave birth to a son , who subsequently died a few days later . Grief - stricken by his death , Esme attempted to kill herself by jumping off a cliff . Presumed dead , she was brought to a morgue . Carlisle , who remembered treating her years before , was able to hear her faint heartbeat and transformed her into a vampire . Esme fell in love with and married Carlisle soon after . She loves her adoptive children , including Bella , as if they were her own and has the most affection for Edward , but she still grieves that she is unable to bear children . Esme is present throughout the entire Twilight series , revealing her past to Bella during the Cullens ' baseball game in Twilight . Esme treats Bella as her own daughter , comforting her after several traumatic events . In the film adaptation of Eclipse , Esme participated in a battle against the newborn vampires but in the book series , it is stated by Sam in Breaking Dawn that she is not a fighter . In Breaking Dawn , it is revealed that Esme owns a South American island named `` Isle Esme '' that Carlisle purchased for her , and where Edward and Bella spend their honeymoon . Elizabeth Reaser plays Esme in the Twilight film series . Alice Cullen Alice Cullen ( born Mary Alice Brandon ) is the adopted daughter of Carlisle and Esme Cullen , adoptive sister of Edward and Emmett Cullen , and Rosalie Hale and the partner of Jasper Hale . Alice is petite and pixie - like , with a graceful gait and hair that is short , spiky , and black . Her special ability is to see the future , an enhanced version of her ability to have premonitions as a human . Her ability is limited ; she is only able to see the outcome of a decision once it is made . Due to this , decisions made in the spur of the moment can not be foreseen . Alice can see futures involving humans and vampires , but is unable to see those involving half - breeds , such as Renesmee and the werewolves . Alice is bubbly and optimistic , and she loves and cares for Bella like a sister . She is also close to her brother Edward , and enjoys shopping , make - overs , and throwing parties . Alice 's early history is vague , as she remembers nothing about her human life and woke up alone as a vampire . It is eventually revealed that she was born around 1901 in Biloxi , Mississippi , and was committed to an asylum because she had premonitions . Alice was transformed by an old vampire who worked at the asylum to protect her from James , a tracker vampire who was hunting her . After some research , Alice found her grave and discovered that the date on her tombstone matches the date of her admission to the asylum . Through her research she additionally discovered that she had a younger sister named Cynthia , and that Cynthia 's daughter , Alice 's niece , is still alive in Biloxi . Alice enjoys playing `` Newcomb 's paradox - chess '' against her telepathic brother Edward . Throughout Twilight , Alice uses her ability to see the future and help Bella when she is in danger . The two soon become friends , loving each other like sisters . In New Moon , Alice foresees Bella jumping off a cliff and assumes she is trying to commit suicide , though Bella actually was cliff diving . After discovering the truth , Alice accompanies Bella to Italy to prevent Edward from killing himself . They are successful , but are taken to see the Volturi , who police the vampire world . Through Alice 's premonitions , Aro is able to see that Bella will eventually become a vampire and invites her , Alice , and Edward to stay with them ; it is later mentioned that Aro especially covets Alice 's gift . In Eclipse , Alice , who proves to be an adept fighter , joins the fight to destroy a group of rampaging newborn vampires , created by Victoria in an effort to take revenge on Edward . Alice acts as Bella 's maid of honor at her wedding in Breaking Dawn and helps care for Renesmee until leaving to search out a crossbreed after the Volturi plan to destroy Renesmee , believing her to be an immortal child . Alice is successful and the Volturi , convinced there is no threat , leave . Ashley Greene plays Alice in the Twilight film series . Emmett Cullen Emmett Cullen ( born Emmett Dale McCarty ) is Rosalie Hale 's husband , Carlisle and Esme Cullen 's adopted son , and Edward and Alice Cullen , as well as Jasper Hale 's adoptive brother . Emmett is tall , burly , extremely muscular , and , to most humans , the most intimidating of his adoptive siblings . He has curly dark hair and dimpled cheeks , and despite his physical attributes , he is actually the joker among the Cullens . He is always eager to engage in fights , and is often described as Edward 's favorite brother . Emmett was 20 and living in Gatlinburg , Tennessee , in 1935 when he was mauled by a bear . The injuries from the attack were severe and he was found by Rosalie , who had been hunting in the area at the time . Rosalie , who was reminded of her friend Vera 's baby by his dark curls , dimples , and innocent appearance , carried him over a hundred miles through Appalachia to Carlisle , asking him to spare Emmett 's life by turning him into a vampire . Emmett joined Carlisle 's coven but initially had trouble adjusting to the family 's diet of animal blood . In Twilight , Emmett is at first wary of Bella but soon warms up to her , treating her as his younger sister . He often teases her for her clumsiness , criticizes her old truck and constant blushing , and votes in favor of her becoming a vampire in New Moon . In Breaking Dawn Emmett jokingly makes innuendos about Bella 's sex life until he is silenced when she defeats him several times in arm wrestling matches ; he later helps train Bella to fight in the oncoming battle with the Volturi . Kellan Lutz plays Emmett in the Twilight film series . Rosalie Hale Rosalie Hale is the adopted daughter of Carlisle and Esme Cullen , adoptive sister of Jasper Hale as well as Edward and Alice Cullen , and the wife of Emmett Cullen . She and Jasper are the only ones who do n't take the surname of Cullen as they pass off as being biological siblings . Her physical age is 18 , and she was born in 1915 in Rochester , New York . Rosalie is described as exceptionally beautiful , even for a vampire ; she is tall , statuesque , and has long , wavy blonde hair . While she was human , she was said to be a woman with elegance , class , and eyes the color of violets . In Eclipse , she describes her human self as vain , self - centered , and shallow , pleased with her physical beauty and forever desiring attention . A wealthy young man named Royce King II took an interest in her and soon the two became engaged , with Rosalie eager to have a fancy wedding , live in a big , expensive house , and have children of her own . While visiting her friend Vera , she one day noticed that she did not share the same loving relationship with Royce as her friend Vera did with her husband . Dismissing it , Rosalie later walked home and met an intoxicated Royce and his friends , leading to her being beaten , gang - raped , and left to die in the streets . She is found by Carlisle , who had smelled the blood , and he pitied her and changed her into a vampire with the secret hope that she would become Edward 's mate , though the two of them are never more than brother and sister . After her transformation , she tortured and killed those who had attacked her , including Royce , but did not drink their blood , a fact that she is proud of . She found Emmett two years after becoming a vampire , and begged Carlisle to change him since she was afraid of doing it herself . They have been together ever since . Apart from Carlisle and Edward , she has the most self - control and appreciation for human life , and has never tasted human blood . Rosalie is bitter that her life as a vampire prevents her from having children and experiencing the normal changes of life , and her desire to be human is so strong that she would give up her immortality and beauty for it . When Rosalie first appears in Twilight she is hostile toward Bella and jealous of her humanity ; she is also irritated that Edward could be attracted to Bella , a mere human , when he had never shown the slightest interest in Rosalie , who has always been desired by men . In New Moon , she mistakenly reports to Edward that Bella is dead after supposedly committing suicide . She is guilty and apologetic upon Bella and Edward 's return from Italy , and is the only one next to Edward who opposes Bella becoming a vampire . In Eclipse , Rosalie reveals her past to Bella with the hope that Bella will choose to stay human and she later joins in the fight against Victoria 's army of newborn vampires . In Breaking Dawn , Bella contacts Rosalie after finding out she is pregnant , knowing that Rosalie has always wanted children . She stays by Bella 's side throughout the pregnancy , defending Bella 's choice to keep the baby ; this ultimately brings the two of them closer together , and by the end of the novel they have become friends . Rosalie later helps care for the child , Renesmee , while Bella is undergoing transformation into a vampire . Nikki Reed plays Rosalie in the Twilight film series . Jasper Hale Jasper Hale ( born Jasper Whitlock ) is the adopted son of Carlisle and Esme Cullen , adoptive brother of Rosalie Hale , as well as Edward and Emmett Cullen , and husband of Alice Cullen . He takes the name Hale to pass as Rosalie 's sibling . He was born in Texas and joined the Confederate States Army in 1861 to serve in the American Civil War . Due to his extremely charismatic personality , he ascended through the ranks quickly . Jasper was turned into a vampire in 1863 by a vampire named Maria when he was 19 years old . After transformation , he gained the ability to sense and manipulate the emotions of those around him . Recognizing his high rank in the army , Maria decided to change him into a vampire to help her claim territory in Monterrey . Jasper 's responsibility was to train young vampires and then kill them when they were no longer useful . After about a century of this , he grew weary of the lifestyle and joined an old friend , Peter , and his mate Charlotte . Jasper left the two eventually , not wanting to feed on humans because he could feel his prey 's emotions as they died . Alice , foreseeing that they would be together , met him in a half - empty diner in Philadelphia , and together they sought out the Cullen family . Due to his past , where he was able to feed on humans whenever he chose , Jasper lacks strong self - control . In Eclipse it is suggested that the `` vegetarian '' lifestyle is not Jasper 's first choice and that this also affects his self - control . It is also suggested that he remains with the Cullens mainly for Alice 's sake and that while he is fond of them all , he is not as attached to them as she is . He is described as tall with honey blond hair , and is muscular but lean . His face and body are covered with crescent - shaped scars , after his years of fighting and training newborn vampires . In Twilight , upon meeting Bella , Jasper has a hard time controlling himself from attacking Bella due to her scent . He accompanies Alice and Bella when they are hiding from James , using his ability to calm Bella when she is stressed or afraid . In New Moon , he loses control and tries to attack Bella after smelling her blood when she gets a paper cut , prompting Edward to leave Forks in order to protect her . When the Cullens return , Jasper votes for Bella to become a vampire , stating that it would be a nice change from him wanting to attack her . In Eclipse , Jasper teaches the werewolves and vampires fighting techniques to defend themselves against newborn vampires . In Breaking Dawn , he leaves with Alice to find a vampire - human hybrid , and returns with her to defend Renesmee and the rest of the family against the Volturi . Jackson Rathbone plays Jasper in the Twilight film series . Renesmee Cullen Renesmee Carlie `` Nessie '' Cullen ( / rəˈnɛzmeɪ / rə - NEZ - may ) is the dhampir daughter of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan , born on September 11 , two days before Bella 's nineteenth birthday in Breaking Dawn . Her name is derived from the amalgamation of the names of Bella 's mother , Renée , and Edward 's adoptive mother , Esme . Her middle name , Carlie , is a portmanteau of the names Carlisle , Edward 's adoptive father , and Charlie , Bella 's father . She has the same facial features and hair color as Edward , but has curly hair inherited from her grandfather , Charlie Swan , and brown eyes like Bella . Her heart pumps blood , giving her a blush , and her pale skin slightly glows in sunlight . Her skin is warm and soft to the touch , but it is as strong as a vampire 's . Only minutes after she is born , she is imprinted upon by Jacob Black , who becomes her soul mate and acts as an older brother figure to her . Renesmee can survive on either blood or human food , though she prefers blood , and she does not produce venom . Her special abilities are transmitting thoughts to others by touching their skin and penetrating mental shields , the opposite abilities of each of her parents . She rapidly grows both mentally and physically , is able to speak only seven days after her birth , and by the end of the novel can read , run , hunt , and perform other tasks at advanced levels for her young age . Her intelligence stuns everyone , and she is able to understand what is happening around her when the Volturi arrive . Jacob nicknames her `` Nessie '' because he considers her full name to be a mouthful , though Bella strongly dislikes her child being nicknamed `` after the Loch Ness Monster '' . By the book 's end , however , all of the characters have adopted this shortened version . Nessie will reach physical maturity after about seven years , when her appearance will be around 17 , and then stop aging . Weeks after Renesmee is born , Irina , a vampire from the Denali coven , sees Renesmee and believes she is an `` immortal child '' , a young human child who has been changed into a vampire . She informs the Volturi , as immortal children are not permitted to exist due to their unpredictable nature . Intent on killing Renesmee and the other Cullens , the Volturi travel to Forks . The Cullens gather witnesses from around the world to testify that they have seen her mature and grow , and so she is therefore not an immortal child . Alice brings another half - breed , 150 - year - old Nahuel , who explains that half - breeds pose no danger to the vampires . Convinced that Renesmee is not a threat , the Volturi leave , and Renesmee and her family are left in peace . Mackenzie Foy plays Renesmee in the film adaptation of Breaking Dawn . Stephenie Meyer , when asked about whether or not Jacob could father children with Renesmee , responded : `` That is a question I 'm reserving the right not to answer , because there is a chance I 'll go back to their story . '' Vampires In Twilight , vampires deviate from traditional myth in many ways , a fact often alluded to in the series , usually for humor . Meyer has said she did not research vampire mythology before writing the series . For example , they are unharmed by garlic , holy items , or wooden stakes ; they have reflections and shadows , and are able to be out during daylight . Vampires are also capable of eating human food , though their bodies are unable to digest it and they must cough it up later . They do not have to breathe , but typically find it uncomfortable to be without a sense of smell . All vampires possess refined and perfected physical features ( including their voice and scent ) , allowing them to lure in prey . Their skin is flawless , has the texture and feel of marble due to being stronger than granite , and sparkles in direct sunlight because of the crystalline properties of their cells . Newborn vampires have bright red eyes ; for vampires who choose to drink human blood , the most revitalizing kind of blood for a vampire , eye color fades to a deep crimson over the course of a year . If they feed on animal blood , like the Cullens , their eyes fade to a deep gold color . Regardless of meal preference , all vampires ' eyes grow darker with thirst , eventually fading to black ; vampires tire only from lack of blood . All vampires possess superhuman physical and mental attributes . Their superhuman strength gives them the ability to subdue their prey , uproot trees , throw cars , and crush metal . Newborn vampires are known to be exceptionally strong during their first year because of the excessive amount of human blood still in their systems . Vampires have very keen senses and are able to see and hear clearly for miles in total darkness and move with such speed that they become a blur to human eyes . They are immortal and difficult to destroy , only permanently killed when dismembered and then burned , as their body parts continue to move even after being detached . Vampires also do not have to sleep ; they do not feel physical fatigue , and mental fatigue passes very quickly . After transformation , a vampire 's certain ability becomes enhanced , sometimes resulting in a specialized , supernatural skill . While not definite , the theory behind these special abilities is that the power is reminiscent of the individual 's original personality . Some vampires have no special abilities , and instead have a prominent personality or physical trait from their human life magnified . The Volturi The Volturi , from left to right : Alec , Marcus , Aro , Caius , and Jane , from The Twilight Saga : New Moon . The vampire coven known as the Volturi live in Volterra , Tuscany ( Italy ) , which they have secretly controlled since the time of the Etruscans . They are regarded as `` royalty '' by other vampires because they have lived for well over 3000 years and act as police , enforcing the rule that vampires ' existence remain a secret from humans . They often send emissaries or enforcers from Volterra to prevent overzealous covens and renegade vampires from exposing their kind . They are guarded by several powerful vampires who have been recruited for their powers and skills . Carlisle once stayed with the coven as a guest , but left due to his desire to avoid harming humans and established his own coven in the United States . At the end of New Moon , the Volturi discover that Bella , a human , has learned that vampires exist and demand that she become a vampire or else be killed . In Eclipse , they arrive in Forks under the pretense of eliminating Victoria and her newborn army for violating Volturi law ; their true intentions , however , were to allow Victoria 's army to destroy the Cullen clan , whom Aro envies for its large size and for its members ' supernatural talents . In Breaking Dawn , the vampire Irina goes to the Volturi and informs them that the Cullens have created an immortal child after seeing Edward and Bella 's daughter , Renesmee , hunting close to the Cullens ' house . The Volturi coven travel to Forks to destroy Renesmee and the Cullens , but leave when they are outnumbered by the group gathered there . It is noted at the end of the novel that the Volturi may one day attempt to destroy the Cullen family again . The Volturi leaders include Aro , who can read every thought a person has ever had once he has made physical contact , Marcus , who senses the strength and nature of relationships , and Caius , who has no known power . Aro 's wife Sulpicia , Caius ' wife Athenodora , and formerly Marcus ' wife Didyme , who had the power to make others happy , also act as leaders . The Volturi guard consists of 32 members , including Jane , who creates illusions of pain ; her twin brother Alec , who is able to block others ' senses ; Demetri , who can track anyone once he has the tenor of their mind ; Felix , who possesses exceptional physical strength and speed ; Chelsea , who can change emotional bondings and causes members of the Volturi to be loyal to the coven ; Chelsea 's mate , Afton , who can cast mental invisibility to cover himself ; Corin , who is able to invest addictive contentment and is primarily charged to please the leaders ' wives ; Heidi , who is extremely beautiful and hard to resist and serves as the `` fisher '' for outside humans to come to Volterra for the Volturi to feast , since the Volturi must maintain their secrecy in Volterra by not feeding on the local humans ; Renata , who can make anyone feel distracted and wandering when they are near her ( classified as a `` shield '' ) ; and Santiago , who possesses heightened strength similar to Felix . The majority of the Volturi guard remain nameless throughout the series . There is also a human secretary named Gianna , who appears in New Moon and is killed by the Volturi by the events of Breaking Dawn , despite her hope that they would turn her into a vampire . Aro , coveting their talents , invites Carlisle , Edward , Alice , Kate , Benjamin , Zafrina , and Bella to join the Volturi , but all of them refuse .

They all returned , joined by Lateef Crowder dos Santos as Santiago , for The Twilight Saga : Breaking Dawn . James ' coven James All three of the nomads shown together in Twilight . From left to right : Laurent , James , and Victoria . The major antagonist of Twilight , James is a merciless , sadistic `` tracker '' vampire who hunts human beings or , in some cases , animals , for sport . Fellow coven member Laurent says that James is unusually gifted at what he does and always gets what he wants , though it is later revealed that then - human Alice Cullen escaped him years ago by being turned into a vampire before James could attack her . Unlike the Cullen family , he drinks human blood . Towards the end of Twilight , James is destroyed by the Cullen siblings Emmett , Jasper and Alice after he lures Bella to an empty ballet studio and nearly kills her . The shimmery scar left by his venomous bite still remains on Bella 's hand as a symbol of his unsuccessful attempt on her life . James is described as having light brown hair and being quite average - looking . James is portrayed by Cam Gigandet in the Twilight film . In the film , he is given the surname `` Witherdale '' . Victoria A red - haired , cat - like vampire , Victoria is originally a member of James ' coven . She plays a small role in the first book assisting James , her lover and coven leader , in hunting Bella Swan . After James is killed , she decides to exact revenge on Edward Cullen by plotting to kill the woman he loves , Bella . Bella is sufficiently protected from her wrath by the Quileute shape - shifting wolves . Months later in Eclipse , Victoria creates an army of bloodthirsty newborn vampires in Seattle to rise up against the combined forces of the werewolves and Cullen family . During this battle , both she and her new fighting partner , Riley , are destroyed by Edward and the young wolf Seth Clearwater . Her supernatural talent is self - preservation ; she can sense if others are planning to harm or kill her , and her voice is said to sound high and girlish . Victoria is portrayed by Rachelle Lefevre in the films Twilight and The Twilight Saga : New Moon . Bryce Dallas Howard replaces Lefevre in the role for the third film , The Twilight Saga : Eclipse . In the films , she is given the surname `` Sutherland '' . Laurent A dark - haired , olive - toned vampire , Laurent is a member of James ' coven in Twilight . When James and Victoria choose to track and murder Bella , Laurent leaves them and travels to Denali , Alaska , hoping to find solace among a coven of `` vegetarian '' vampires . He never adopts their strict diet of drinking animal blood , and `` cheats '' by occasionally feeding on humans . During this stay he takes a special liking to a vampire named Irina , though the infatuation is not strong enough to keep him there , as he later returns to Forks in New Moon as a favor to Victoria . During this visit , he stumbles across Bella and tries to kill her , before being ambushed by the Quileute wolves and subsequently destroyed . Laurent is portrayed by Edi Gathegi in Twilight , The Twilight Saga : New Moon and in a flashback seen In The Twilight Saga : Breaking Dawn -- Part 1 . In the films , he is given the surname `` Da Revin '' . Newborn army Riley Biers Riley Biers as portrayed in The Twilight Saga : Eclipse . As a vampire , Riley Biers is tall and muscular with bright red eyes and blond hair . Victoria bites and changes Riley when he is approximately Bella 's age in Eclipse . Once Riley ages and gains some control , he helps to lead Victoria 's army of newborn vampires . He performs his work faithfully because of his love for Victoria , which she pretends to return . In a battle between the army of newborns and the Cullens at the end of Eclipse , Edward voices Riley 's concern that Victoria has been lying to him . Edward tries to convince Riley to stop fighting by explaining Victoria 's true motives , but in the end Victoria bolsters Riley 's faith in her and he is destroyed by Edward and Seth Clearwater . In the film The Twilight Saga : Eclipse , Riley is described as a `` good - looking college student '' and is portrayed by Australian actor Xavier Samuel . Bree Tanner Bree Tanner was a young vampire created by Victoria as a part of the newborn army that attacks the Cullens in Eclipse . While she was human , Riley found her and brought her to Victoria , who bit and changed her . Her age is said to be 15 or 16 , and she is described as petite with chin - length black hair . Because of her youth and her willingness to surrender , the Cullens spare her life during the newborn attack , and Carlisle even offers to make her part of the family . When the Volturi arrive , however , Jane orders her destroyed by Felix despite her innocence . Stephenie Meyer 's novella The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner , which is written from Bree 's perspective , tells of Bree 's life as a newborn vampire and her interactions with Riley , the Cullens , and other members of the newborn army . In the film The Twilight Saga : Eclipse , she is portrayed by Canadian actress , Jodelle Ferland . Mexican coven Maria is the only permanent member of the Mexican coven centered in Monterrey , Mexico . She was formerly a member of the Monterrey coven , which was eventually wiped out and left Maria as the only survivor . Together with Lucy and Nettie , the only surviving members of the Northern Texas and Arkansas covens , respectively , the coven became known , as with other covens in Mexico , for their tact in using newborns as soldiers , whom they dispose of after they cease to be newborns . Maria also bit and recruited Jasper Hale as her second - in - command for his ability to influence other people 's emotions , and also Peter on Jasper 's request . After discovering that Lucy and Nettie were plotting to overthrow her , Maria killed them with Jasper 's help . However , Maria has to lead the coven alone when Peter fell in love with a newborn , Charlotte , and ran away with her to become nomads , while Jasper eventually followed them due to his increasing disapproval over the coven 's way of life . In the film The Twilight Saga : Eclipse , Maria is portrayed by Catalina Sandino Moreno , Lucy by Kirsten Prout , and Nettie by Leah Gibson . Amazonian coven Zafrina , Senna , and Kachiri are female vampires who comprise the Amazonian coven in Breaking Dawn . They are described as tall and intimidating , with dark skin , long hair , and clothes made of animal fur . Most vampires have never heard of them , not even the Volturi , as they prefer to have a reclusive life in the Pantanal against humans and vampires alike , only occasionally going out to feed on humans . The Cullens only discovered them when they happened to cross paths with them while they were hunting during their trip to South America . Zafrina 's special ability is to create illusions ; her illusions do not affect Bella or anyone who is under her protective shield , and she assists Bella in improving her shield . Zafrina develops a friendship with Renesmee , who is said to like Zafrina and her `` pretty pictures '' , and at the end of the novel she has Bella promise to bring Renesmee to visit her in the future . In the film The Twilight Saga : Breaking Dawn - part 2 , Judi Shekoni portrays Zafrina and Tracey Heggins portrays Senna , as Kachiri never appears . American nomads Peter , his mate Charlotte , Mary , and Randall are American nomads . Peter is Jasper 's good friend , and helped Jasper escape his previous life as a general of newborn vampires . Though he feeds on human blood , he does not agree with the execution of newborns after they have outlived their usefulness . In the past , Jasper lived with Peter and Charlotte , but chose to leave because of his ability to sense his human prey 's emotions . All four of these nomads join the Cullens as witnesses in Breaking Dawn . In The Twilight Saga : Breaking Dawn - Part II , Peter is portrayed by Erik Odom , Charlotte by Valorie Curry , Mary by Toni Trucks and Randall by Bill Tangradi . Denali coven Eleazar and his mate Carmen , Tanya , Kate , and later Kate 's mate , Garrett , are members of the Denali coven . They originally resided in Slovakia , but after Sasha and Vasilii 's executions , they moved to Denali , Alaska . Like the Cullens , the Denali coven practices a diet of drinking animal instead of human blood . They are considered to be cousins of the Cullen family , though the relationship is put under strain in Eclipse when they refuse to fight Victoria and her army because of Irina 's vendetta against the werewolves . Tanya , their leader , has strawberry blonde hair and once expressed an interest in Edward Cullen , though he turned her down . Carmen speaks fluent Spanish and was the first to listen to and not fear Renesmee for being a half - breed . Eleazar , a former member of the Volturi guard , speaks fluent Spanish as well and has the ability to vaguely identify the gifts of other vampires . Garrett , a tall , rangy vampire with ruby eyes and long sandy hair , is an adventurer , and alludes to being an American Patriot . He joins the Denali coven in Breaking Dawn and becomes Kate 's mate . Kate 's special ability is the production of an electric current over her skin that can shock and incapacitate attackers . She assists Bella in learning to use her new ability to mentally shield those around her . Sasha , Vasilii , and Irina were former members of the Denali coven . Sasha , who created Tanya , Kate , Irina , and Vasilii , was executed by the Volturi for creating an immortal child , Vasilii . Volturi law prohibits creating an immortal child , as they are unpredictable and have no self - control . For this reason , both Sasha and Vasilii were destroyed , and since then the Denalis have maintained respect for Volturi law . Laurent was Irina 's mate , and she holds a grudge against the Quileute wolves for destroying him . She arrives to make peace with the Cullens in Breaking Dawn , but before speaking with them , she sees Renesmee , mistakenly assumes she is an immortal child , and notifies the Volturi . After determining that Renesmee is not an immortal child , the Volturi destroy Irina in order to provoke her sisters into attacking them , thus giving them an excuse to destroy them along with the Cullens and their allies . In both parts of The Twilight Saga : Breaking Dawn , the Denalis are portrayed by MyAnna Buring as Tanya , Christian Camargo as Eleazar , Maggie Grace as Irina , Mía Maestro as Carmen , Casey LaBow as Kate , and Lee Pace as Garrett . Sasha is portrayed by Andrea Powell . Egyptian coven Tia , Amun , Benjamin , and Kebi are members of the Egyptian coven . The coven is said to be the oldest vampire coven in existence , predating even the Romanian coven . They were once rivals with the Romanian coven until the Volturi 's rise in power , after which the Volturi decimated both covens while taking away any gifted vampires the Egyptians had , including Demetri , who was created by the coven 's leader , Amun . Amun , the mate of Kebi , is shown to be very unhappy to stand witness for the Cullens in Breaking Dawn , and he and Kebi later flee in fear of the Volturi . Benjamin , the mate of Tia , has a high awareness of what is right and wrong , and his special ability is to control the elements of nature , air , earth , fire , and water . Benjamin 's ability is unique in that it involves physical manipulation , as opposed to illusions of the mind . This fact is what made Amun very protective of him , in fear of losing him to the Volturi . In The Twilight Saga : Breaking Dawn - Part II , the members of the Egyptian coven is portrayed by Rami Malek as Benjamin , Omar Metwally as Amun , Angela Sarafyan as Tia , and Andrea Gabriel as Kebi . European nomads Alistair , Charles , and Makenna are European nomads . Alistair considers Carlisle to be his oldest friend , though he does not visit him often and is highly standoffish . His special ability is tracking . When he is called to be a witness for the Cullens in Breaking Dawn , he leaves out of fear of the Volturi . Charles is the mate of Makenna , and his special ability is to sense if a statement is true . Alistair is portrayed by British actor , Joe Anderson . Irish coven Siobhan , Liam , and Maggie are members of the Irish coven . Liam is Siobhan 's mate . Siobhan 's suspected special ability is to alter the course of a situation through willpower . Maggie , a redhead , has the ability to sense if someone is lying . They were called upon to witness for the Cullen clan in face of the Volturi in Breaking Dawn . In The Twilight Saga : Breaking Dawn - Part II , the members of the Irish coven are portrayed by Marlane Barnes ( as Maggie ) , Lisa Howard ( as Siobhan ) , and Patrick Brennan ( as Liam ) . Romanian coven Vladimir and Stefan used to rule the vampire world along with other Romanian vampires about 1500 years ago . The Volturi overthrew them and destroyed their castle . After the rebellion , it became apparent that Vladimir and Stefan were the only survivors of their coven . They hold a grudge against the Volturi and are willing to do anything for revenge , and so they eagerly serve as witnesses in Breaking Dawn , hoping to watch the Volturi fall . In The Twilight Saga : Breaking Dawn - Part II , the Romanian coven are portrayed by Noel Fisher ( as Vladimir ) and Guri Weinberg ( as Stefan ) . Nahuel Nahuel is a Mapuche vampire / human hybrid conceived by human Pire and vampire Joham about 150 years ago . From his father , Nahuel has three half - sisters : the Norwegian Serena , the Algerian Maysun , and the American Jennifer , all of whom are also vampire / human hybrids . His mother died giving birth to him , and when he was born , he bit his aunt , Huilen , who hated him for causing her sister 's death , causing her transformation into a vampire . He is thus the only known hybrid who produces venom , in contrast to his half - sisters and Renesmee . He refused to join his father 's family , and stayed with Huilen . Knowing that he was the one who killed his mother , Nahuel blamed himself for this . He was found by Kachiri , Alice Cullen and Jasper Hale in Chile to seek his aid in protecting their family . By finding the other hybrid , Renesmee Cullen , and meeting her family , he begins to realize that he himself may not be as evil as he had always thought and learned to forgive himself for his mother 's death . Nahuel is portrayed by J.D. Pardo in The Twilight Saga : Breaking Dawn -- Part 2 . Huilen Huilen is a Mapuche vampire and the older sister of Pire . She was turned by her nephew , Nahuel , who is a half - human , half - vampire . Huilen and Nahuel came to Forks with Alice Cullen and Jasper Hale to witness against the Volturi that Renesmee , another half - human , half - vampire hybrid , was n't a threat to the vampires ' secret world . After the Volturi left , she stayed behind with her nephew during celebration and was one of the last to leave . Bella assumed that she and Nahuel would have gone with the Amazon Coven , but they departed earlier . In the film The Twilight Saga : Breaking Dawn -- Part 2 , Huilen is portrayed by actress Marisa Quinn . Werewolves The werewolf pack in The Twilight Saga : Eclipse . From left to right : Paul , Embry , Jacob , Sam , Jared , Quil , and Leah . According to the Twilight series , the Quileute tribe legends hold that chiefs could leave their bodies and wander as spirits , communicate with nature , command nature ( weather , trees , insects , animals ) and hear each other 's thoughts , however , besides the latter many of these techniques appear to have been forgotten . In Twilight , members of this tribe can still phase in and out of their shape - shifting forms , transforming independently of the lunar cycles . Members are able to regenerate , talk to one another telepathically , and possess superhuman strength , speed and endurance with the ability to cover 1.67 miles in just 1 minute , outrunning vampires . Werewolves ' skins are durable and their regenerative abilities allow them to heal within seconds . They are also immune to vampirism , though the venom does act as a mild irritant and retards their healing abilities to some degree . As long as they phase , they do not age . Their body temperature is around 108 ° Fahrenheit which Bella as a vampire in Breaking Dawn , describes as `` touching an open fire '' . Jacob is Alpha male thus possesses the unique ability to command the clan telepathically and forcibly , regardless of individual resistance . They possess immunity to vampire bites and some vampire special abilities - such as Alice 's premonitions . In human form shape - shifters can use the style of free running to get to hard to reach places . In the Twilight universe , werewolves ' claws and teeth can tear through the `` marble hard skin '' of a vampire at ease . Each werewolf has a different look and different specific quality , whether size , speed , agility , stamina , durability or strength , Jacob being the strongest of the pack . All shapeshifters ' senses are very sharp ( ophthalmoception , audioception , olfacoception , equilibrioception etc ) . Within the series , they can also imprint , which channels all their affections towards a single person and most likely - to - be spouse . A shapeshifter in human form retains many enhanced abilities and in human form is described as lifting Bella like an `` empty box '' . The shapeshifting werewolves of the Quileute tribe are typically dark haired , dark skinned , and dark eyed , and they also prefer to eat animal meat . Genetically , Carlisle discovers that they have 24 pairs of chromosomes , the same as vampire hybrids like Renesmee , sparking speculation on Jacob and Renesmee having children , both of whom had human maternal parents . At the end of the fourth book , it is revealed that they are indeed shape - shifters . Aro claims shape - shifters can take other mega animal forms and Edward says that Caius is terrified of true werewolves because of an encounter with one centuries ago , leaving him almost obliterated . These true werewolves are called the `` Children of the Moon '' and these involuntarily phase in the full moon . Not much is revealed in the series , however in Breaking Dawn the distinction is briefly explained . Sam Uley Sam Uley is the Alpha , or leader , and oldest member of the La Push pack . He is first introduced in Twilight , where his aversion toward the Cullens eventually leads Bella to discover that they are vampires , but is given a larger role in New Moon . His father , Joshua Uley , abandoned him and his mother when he was young , and Sam was thus forced to assume much adult responsibility at an early age . He is 19 when he first appears in the series , was the first wolf to phase , and is described as the calmest and most mature of his pack brothers . Before transforming , he dated Leah Clearwater , whom he is said to have loved . But because he was forbidden to tell her what he had become , their relationship fell apart and ended when he imprinted on Leah 's cousin , Emily Young , and broke every promise he had made to Leah . According to Jacob , Sam feels guilty for betraying Leah and responsible for the bitter person she has become ; he is also pained that his lack of control over his phasing one day led to the deep scars on Emily 's face . All of this causes him to hate the Cullens , whom he blames for both his transformation and for causing him to break Leah 's heart . The oncoming army of newborn vampires in Eclipse , however , forces him to work together with the Cullens , and at the end of the novel it is suggested that he has begun to trust Carlisle . His fur is pure black when he phases , and he was the largest wolf until Breaking Dawn , in which it is noted that Jacob has grown taller than him . He is not Alpha by blood ; that role belongs to Jacob , who initially refused the position although Sam willingly offered it to him . Sam 's status as pack Alpha technically makes him , as Jacob explains in Eclipse , the chief of the whole tribe . It also makes his pack brothers subject to any direct commands he gives them , though he dislikes taking their free will away from them and does so only when necessary , such as for coordination during fights . He proves to be highly protective of not only the tribe , but of all humans , and even goes so far as to plan an attack on the Cullens in Breaking Dawn because of the threat he believes Bella 's unborn , half - vampire child presents . This sparks a conflict between him and Jacob , causing the latter to split from the pack . At the end of the series , Quil , Embry , and the Clearwaters join Jacob 's pack , leaving Sam to lead the remaining wolves . Solomon Trimble was credited as `` Jacob 's friend '' in the Twilight film , but was widely recognized as playing the role of Sam . In The Twilight Saga : New Moon and The Twilight Saga : Eclipse , Sam is portrayed by Chaske Spencer . Quil Ateara V Quil Ateara V has chocolate - brown fur in wolf form and is Jacob 's best friend and second cousin . He is 16 , and is described as muscular and loud . Upon meeting her , he takes an instant liking to Bella , who notes that he has a mischievous grin , and flirts with her . He first appears in New Moon but does not become a wolf until Eclipse . In New Moon Bella notes his depression over being abandoned by Embry and Jacob , who joined the pack and were not allowed to tell him what was going on . Unlike most of the other pack members , he was happy about becoming a wolf because it allowed him to join his friends . Near the end of Breaking Dawn Quil , along with Embry , joins Jacob 's pack . In Eclipse , Quil imprints on Emily Young 's two - year - old niece , Claire . Although this appears to cause a scandal , Jacob explains that there is currently nothing romantic about his feelings , and that Quil will be whatever Claire needs him to be at each point in her life , whether it be a brother , friend , protector , or lover . Quil is portrayed by Tyson Houseman in The Twilight Saga : New Moon and The Twilight Saga : Eclipse . Embry Call Embry Call is a wolf with gray fur and dark spots on his back , and is another one of Jacob 's best friends . He is described as tall , thin , and shy , and is 16 when he first appears in New Moon . He calls Bella `` vampire girl '' because of her relationship with the Cullens . His mother is of the Makah tribe , not the Quileute , and she moved to the Quileute reservation while she was pregnant with him ; until he joined the pack , it was assumed that she had left his father behind . However , the shape - shifting trait is present only in the Black , Ateara , and Uley bloodlines , with other families being included through marriage ; by carrying the trait , Embry is therefore the half - brother of either Quil Ateara V , Jacob Black , or Sam Uley . This causes some stress within the pack , since all three of those boys ' fathers were married before and at the time of Embry 's birth . Near the end of Breaking Dawn , Embry , along with Quil , joins Jacob 's pack . Embry is portrayed by Kiowa Gordon in The Twilight Saga : New Moon and The Twilight Saga : Eclipse . Paul Lahote Paul Lahote is a dark gray wolf who is prone to angry outbursts that cause him to burst into his wolf form . At 16 , he was the third wolf to phase . He is the most volatile pack member , and becomes so enraged when he learns that Jacob has told Bella about the pack that he bursts into his wolf form and tries to attack her . He later seems to have no ill feelings toward Bella or Jacob , though Jacob , Leah , and some of the other wolves find him annoying . In Breaking Dawn , it is revealed that Paul has imprinted on Jacob 's older sister , Rachel . This irritates Billy and Jacob because he is always at their house eating their food , but Billy is happy that Rachel visits home more often because of Paul . Paul is portrayed by Alex Meraz in The Twilight Saga : New Moon and The Twilight Saga : Eclipse . Jared Cameron Jared Cameron was the first wolf to phase after Sam . In Eclipse it 's revealed that he imprinted on Kim , a girl he sat next to in school who had always had a crush on him . Before he was a wolf he never paid attention to her , but after his transformation he looked at her once and imprinted . Bronson Pelletier portrays Jared in The Twilight Saga : New Moon and The Twilight Saga : Eclipse . Though Jared 's personality is never really explored in the novels and he remains somewhat of a background character , it has been noted that Jared 's portrayal in the films reflects Pelletier 's own joking , light - hearted personality . Leah Clearwater Leah Clearwater is the only known female shape - shifting wolf in the history of the Quileute tribe . She is the smallest wolf , has light gray fur , and is the fastest in the pack . At the age of 19 , she transforms into a wolf during the events of New Moon , around the same time as her younger brother , Seth . This transformation is believed to be what caused the heart attack and subsequent death of their father , Harry . She dated Sam Uley for years until her second cousin Emily came to visit and Sam imprinted on her . Sam thus left her for Emily , leaving Leah broken - hearted . She puts up a brave face , though , and in Eclipse it is suggested that she intends to serve as bridesmaid at Sam and Emily 's wedding . Despite this , she is disliked by her pack brothers for her very bitter and cynical attitude . She constantly antagonizes the pack by thinking about things that make the others uncomfortable , such as Embry 's paternity . In Breaking Dawn , Leah joins Jacob 's pack with the intention of breaking free of Sam , since she is still heartbroken . She helps to protect Bella and the Cullens , despite her extreme hatred for vampires and her open dislike for Bella . She shares her insecurities with Jacob , such as the reasons for Sam 's imprinting on Emily , her regrets that she might be menopausal due to her transformation , and her inability to rise higher in pack rank due to her gender . As she spends more time in Jacob 's pack , she becomes happier , makes notable changes in her attitude , and is less negative . Later in the book , Jacob and Leah 's feelings toward each other become a trusted comradeship , though they conceal their fondness for each other by constantly bickering . She displays quite a bit of loyalty to him , and even angrily confronts Bella about her unfair treatment of Jacob and the pain she has caused him . By the end of the novel , Leah has replaced Seth as Jacob 's second - in - command . In The Twilight Saga : Eclipse , Leah is portrayed by Julia Jones . Seth Clearwater Seth Clearwater is Leah 's younger brother . He transformed into a wolf during the events of New Moon , around the same time as his sister , Leah . He has sandy - colored fur , and at 15 he is among the youngest of the pack . In New Moon and Eclipse he is shown to idolize Jacob Black and is said to remind Bella of a younger Jacob . Like Quil , he is excited by his ability to transform into a wolf and not unhappy with it , as his other pack brothers are . During the newborn attack in Eclipse , Seth stays with Bella and Edward due to his youth and acts as a connection to the pack because of the wolves ' telepathic ability . When Victoria and Riley appear , Seth fights and destroys Riley with Edward 's help . In Breaking Dawn he is shown to have developed an unlikely friendship with Edward , and attends his and Bella 's wedding . When Jacob splits from the pack , Seth quickly joined him because he opposes Sam 's plan to attack the Cullens , whom he has become fond of . For most of Breaking Dawn , Seth is Jacob 's second - in - command , until he is replaced by Leah at the end of the novel . He is initially the only wolf to feel completely comfortable being around the Cullen family , and becomes friendly with them by the end of the series . Although young , Seth appears to have sharp mind and quick thinking as he was the first to oppose the assault towards the Cullens because the pack refused to consult with the Elders ( which they were supposed to do and initially aborted the mission due to lack of offensive force ) and he was the first to recognize that Jacob is n't thinking properly when he wanted to attack the Cullens after Bella 's arrival from Brazil due to the treaty without proper investigation . Seth was also the first one to discover that different pack has their own mental link and convinced both Jacob and the Cullens that Sam 's pack will not launch an assault due to lack members because it will be a suicide mission for Sam if he did . He also has , according to Edward , very honest and pure thoughts , something that endears him to the Cullens , and Edward in particular . In The Twilight Saga : Eclipse , Seth is played by Boo Boo Stewart . Collin Littlesea and Brady Fuller Collin Littlesea and Brady Fuller are two of the youngest wolves in the pack . Collin is Jacob 's first cousin , while Brady is distantly related to the Clearwater siblings . In Eclipse , they are said to have phased at the age of thirteen without their parents ' knowledge , and they later make an appearance in Breaking Dawn as part of Sam 's pack . Collin and Brady are portrayed by Brayden Jimmie and Swo - wo Gabriel , respectively , in The Twilight Saga : Breaking Dawn - Part 1 . Others There are seven additional wolves present at the end of Breaking Dawn . These unknown wolves are believed to be very young because of their oversized paws . The reason for their transformations is the presence of many visiting vampires at the Cullen residence . Ephraim Black Ephraim Black , great - grandfather to Jacob Black , was the last chief of the Quileute tribe . He was a shape - shifter himself , and the Alpha of a pack of three which included Levi Uley and Quil Ateara Sr. , the great - grandfathers of Sam Uley and Quil Ateara , respectively . He created a treaty with the Cullen family which maintained that the wolves would not expose the Cullens as vampires as long as they did not bite any humans . Humans Charlie Swan Charlie Swan is Bella Swan 's father and works as a police officer in Forks . His hobbies include fishing with Harry Clearwater and Billy Black , as well as watching various sports on TV . Charlie married Bella 's mother , Renée , just after they both graduated from high school , and they soon had Bella . Renée divorced Charlie not long after and moved to Phoenix , Arizona with Bella . Bella later mentions that Charlie still has not quite gotten over her mother . He became accustomed to living alone , except when Bella visited him in the summer . When Bella is seventeen , she moves to Forks to live with him after her mother remarries . Initially , Charlie accepts Edward as his daughter 's boyfriend , but after the events of New Moon he blames Edward for Bella 's deep depression after he left her . Charlie is grateful to Jacob Black for his friendship with Bella during that difficult time , and he makes it clear that he 'd rather Bella choose Jacob over Edward . At the end of Eclipse , Bella and Edward agree to tell Charlie about their engagement , and he is shown to have reluctantly agreed to the marriage at the beginning of Breaking Dawn . Charlie stays in Bella 's life after her transformation ; though he comes to suspect that Bella and the Cullens are not quite human , he is never informed that they are vampires though he is informed that Jacob is a werewolf . Nevertheless , he is introduced to his granddaughter , Renesmee , and is shown to be very fond of her . At the end of Breaking Dawn , he and Sue Clearwater have developed a romantic relationship . Charlie is portrayed by Billy Burke in the Twilight film series . Renée Dwyer Renée Dwyer ( formerly Renée Swan ) married Charlie Swan right after high school , but left with their baby , Bella , and divorced him soon after . Renée is an eccentric , silly person who tends to brave new , risky things and then come to her senses later . Bella always felt herself to be the mother in their relationship , having to guide Renée away from doing ridiculous things , and Renée considered Bella her `` middle - aged '' child . After Renée remarries a much younger baseball player , Phil Dwyer , Bella sends herself to live with her father in Forks so that Renée and Phil can travel together . Edward describes Renée 's mind as being insightful and almost childlike . In Breaking Dawn , Bella is scared to tell her mother about her engagement to Edward because of Renée 's strong opposition to young people marrying early , but Renée gives them her blessing . It is said that Bella resembles her mother , but that Renée has shorter hair and laugh lines . In Twilight she lives in Phoenix , Arizona , and in Jacksonville , Florida throughout the rest of the series . After Bella becomes a vampire she does not visit her mother , knowing Renée would never adapt to her change as Charlie did . Renée is portrayed by Sarah Clarke in Twilight , The Twilight Saga : Eclipse , and The Twilight Saga : Breaking Dawn - Part 1 . Harry Clearwater Harry Clearwater was an elder of the Quileute tribe who died of a heart attack in New Moon . He left behind a wife , Sue , a daughter Leah , and a son , Seth . After Bella learns that Jacob is a werewolf , it is Harry and Billy Black who keep Charlie Swan occupied in La Push in to protect him from Victoria and her army of newborn vampires . Harry is portrayed by Graham Greene in The Twilight Saga : New Moon . Billy Black Billy Black is Jacob Black 's father , born and raised in La Push , and an elder of the Quileute tribe . He is described as being heavyset , having a wrinkled face and russet skin , and having black hair and black eyes . His other family members include his two daughters , Rachel and Rebecca , and his deceased wife , Sarah . Billy Black is directly descended from the last chief of the Quileute tribe , Ephraim Black , who was his grandfather . Among Billy 's best friends in Forks is Bella Swan 's father , Charlie Swan . Billy , who has diabetes and uses a wheelchair , sells his truck to Charlie to give to Bella . At the end of Twilight , he employed Jacob to persuade Bella to break up with Edward Cullen . He becomes a semi-regular character throughout the remaining series . Billy Black is portrayed by Gil Birmingham in Twilight , The Twilight Saga : New Moon , and The Twilight Saga : Eclipse . Tyler Crowley Tyler Crowley is one of Bella 's classmates . In Twilight he nearly hits Bella with his van , but she is saved by Edward . Afterward , Tyler is desperate to make it up to her , bombarding her with constant apologies and asking her to a school dance , to which she refuses . He mistakenly assumes she will go to their prom with him and tells the rest of the school , only to hear from Edward that Bella will be unavailable to anyone but himself . His constant attention toward Bella causes Lauren , who is interested in him , to resent Bella . Tyler is portrayed by Gregory Tyree Boyce in the Twilight film . Lauren Mallory Lauren Mallory is a silver blonde , fishy - eyed student at Bella 's high school . Despite being popular herself , she becomes jealous over the attention Bella receives after she moves to Forks and remains hostile toward her throughout the series . She is particularly jealous when Tyler Crowley , on whom Lauren has a crush , pays attention to Bella . She also tends to speak in a rather sneering tone , which Bella notices when she overhears Lauren talking about her . In the films , Lauren 's character was combined with that of Jessica Stanley , who is played by Anna Kendrick . Mike Newton Mike Newton is a friendly boy who initially has a crush on Bella , though Bella does not return his affections . In Twilight , he is described as a `` cute , baby - faced boy '' with `` carefully '' spiked `` pale blond '' hair .

In New Moon , Mike goes to the movies with Jacob and Bella and tries hard to compete with Jacob for Bella 's attention . Mike 's family owns a local sporting goods store , which serves as Bella 's only job in the series . Mike and Jessica date in Twilight and are together again in Breaking Dawn at Bella and Edward 's wedding , where Edward irritatedly comments that `` Mike 's having difficulty with improper thoughts about a married woman '' , suggesting that Mike is still attracted to Bella . Mike is portrayed by Michael Welch in Twilight , The Twilight Saga : New Moon and The Twilight Saga : Eclipse . Jessica Stanley Jessica Stanley is Bella 's classmate and her first friend in Forks . She informs Bella about the Cullen family on her first day at school . She tends to be more interested in Bella 's popularity than Bella 's actual character , and is sometimes jealous of Mike 's attention toward Bella . In an excerpt from Midnight Sun , Edward hears that Jessica 's thoughts toward Bella are actually quite rude , and that she only befriended Bella to share in her attention . Jessica is described as a petite `` chatterbox '' with curly dark hair . She and Bella have a falling out in New Moon because of Bella 's social withdrawal , depression , and increasingly reckless behavior due to Edward 's departure , but their friendship ends on a good note at graduation during Eclipse . Jessica appears briefly in Breaking Dawn as a guest at Bella and Edward 's wedding , which she attends with Mike . Jessica is valedictorian of her graduating class in the film version of Eclipse .

She has light brown hair and soft brown eyes . She respects other people 's space , a characteristic much appreciated by Bella , and has a gentle disposition . Angela plays a minor role in the series but soon becomes Bella 's best human friend . She has a strong relationship with her boyfriend , Ben Cheney . In Breaking Dawn her role is limited ; her father reads Bella and Edward 's vows at their wedding , and she catches Bella 's bouquet . Angela is portrayed by Christian Serratos in Twilight , The Twilight Saga : New Moon and The Twilight Saga : Eclipse . Eric Yorkie Eric Yorkie is a classmate of Bella 's who immediately became interested in her when she moved to Forks . He is described as an `` overly helpful '' chess - club type , is very tall , has a poor complexion , and has `` hair as black as an oil slick '' . He resents Mike 's similar interest in Bella , and , later in Twilight , is seen walking away after Mike is hit with a snowball . He invites Bella to a school dance , but she declines , and he goes with Angela Weber instead . Eric is valedictorian of his graduating class in the book Eclipse . Eric is portrayed by Justin Chon in Twilight , The Twilight Saga : New Moon and The Twilight Saga : Eclipse . Emily young Emily Young is Sam Uley 's fiancée and second cousin to Leah and Seth Clearwater . She is described as having copper skin , raven black hair , and three long disfiguring scars running down the right side of her face and down her arms as the result of Sam 's accidental loss of control in phasing when standing close to her . Emily is from the Makah tribe and lived there for most of her life , only visiting La Push for special occasions until her imprinting by Sam , after which she moved permanently to a cottage in La Push . Though she and Leah are only second cousins , it is said that they were like sisters when they were young . While dating Leah , Sam imprinted upon Emily when she was visiting in La Push and began pursuing her . She was initially furious with him and rejected his advances ; however , the adoration and loyalty that result from imprinting are difficult for even the imprintee to resist , and the accident eventually brought them together . Emily , who is described as a cheerful , friendly person , befriends Bella in New Moon . The left side of her face is extremely beautiful , as she was before the scars , which pull one of her eyes down and tug on the side of her mouth , causing her to have a scowl on one side of her face . Despite this , Emily bears no resentment towards Sam or any other members of the pack , and it is noted that the pack members have become her family . She often cooks for them and they appear to feel very comfortable and open in her house . Emily is portrayed by Tinsel Korey in The Twilight Saga : New Moon and The Twilight Saga : Eclipse . Sue Clearwater Sue Clearwater ( born Sue Uley ) is the widow of Harry Clearwater , who died in New Moon of a heart attack . Sue has two children , Seth and Leah , who are both werewolves . In Breaking Dawn , Sue starts spending a lot of time with Charlie and occasionally cooks him meals after Bella moves out of his house . Near the end of Breaking Dawn , Bella hints that Sue and Charlie are romantically involved . Sue is portrayed by Alex Rice in The Twilight Saga : Eclipse and both of The Twilight Saga : Breaking Dawn films . Quil Ateara III Quil Ateara III is the paternal grandfather of Quil Ateara V , one of the members of the current werewolf pack . He is married to Molly Swan ( a distant relative of Charlie Swan ) and raised his grandson after the death of his son , Quil Ateara IV . He also advised Sam Uley when the latter was about to phase for the first time , having waited for his and Quil 's destinies for a long time . In Eclipse , elder Quil and Billy recite to the Quileute tribe the legend about the `` Cold Ones '' , which Bella listens to . Elder Quil appears uncredited in The Twilight Saga : Eclipse film . Rachel and Rebecca Black Rachel and Rebecca Black are the twin daughters of Billy and Sarah Black and the older sisters of Jacob by four years . Bella is already acquainted with them before her permanent relocation to Forks , though not to the same extent as she does with Jacob . The two dislike living in Forks as they are unable to completely cope with Sarah 's death and had moved out of the town at the start of the series : Rachel to attend the Washington State University in Pullman , and Rebecca to marry a Samoan surfer , Solomon Finau and move to Hawaii . In Breaking Dawn , Rachel returns to Forks following her graduation , initially for a brief visit that turns into something permanent when Paul Lahote , Jacob 's fellow werewolf member , imprints on her . While she reciprocates this affection , Jacob is annoyed as this means that Paul can visit the Black residence frequently , mostly to raid their food , though Billy is glad that Rachel visits home more often because of Paul . Rachel is portrayed by Tanaya Beatty in The Twilight Saga : Breaking Dawn -- Part 1 film . J. Jenks Jason Jenks ( alias Jason Scott ) is a middle aged , balding attorney and forger of legal documents . Alice sends Bella to him when it seems likely that Renesmee and Jacob will need to go on the run to escape the Volturi. Jenks , having previously worked with Jasper several times , has a great fear of the Cullen family due to Jasper 's belief that `` some kinds of working relationships are better motivated by fear than by monetary gain '' . Bella employs Jenks to forge birth certificates , passports , and a driver 's license for Jacob and Renesmee , and over the course of their relationship he starts to become more comfortable around her than he is with Jasper . An honorable man , he initially expresses reservations about giving Bella the documents she requests , under the belief that she intends to use them to kidnap Renesmee from her father , despite his fear that this might earn him the Cullen family 's retribution . Bella assures him that this is not the case , and she decides afterwards to take over all relations with Jenks in order to spare him any further stress that Jasper might cause him . J. Jenks is played by Wendell Pierce in The Twilight Saga : Breaking Dawn -- Part 2 . References Jump up ^ Seraphyn ( 2006 - 03 - 11 ) . `` Personal Correspondence # 5 `` . Twilight Lexicon .

what is the name of the werewolf in twilight
[ "Jacob Black is Bella's best friend. He is a Quileute Native American and a werewolf. In Twilight, Jacob plays the minor role of a forgotten childhood friend of Bella's, and he develops a crush on her. In an attempt to learn more about Cullens, Bella flirts with Jacob, and he tells her tribe legends about \"the cold ones\", or vampires. After Edward leaves Bella in New Moon, she spends much of her time with Jacob. Though she only considers him a friend, Jacob falls in love with Bella. Although he spends most of his time in Eclipse trying to win Bella, in Breaking Dawn he imprints— an involuntary process in which a werewolf finds their soul mate— on Bella and Edward's daughter, Renesmee.\n" ]

The vast size of the Mediterranean and Middle East theatre saw interconnected naval , land , and air campaigns fought for control of the Mediterranean , North Africa , the Horn of Africa , the Middle East and Southern Europe . The fighting in this theatre lasted from 10 June 1940 , when Italy entered the war on the side of Nazi Germany , until 2 May 1945 when all Axis forces in Italy surrendered . However , fighting would continue in Greece -- where British troops had been dispatched to aid the Greek government -- during the early stages of the Greek Civil War . The British referred to this theatre as the Mediterranean and Middle East Theatre ( so called due to the location of the fighting and the name of the headquarters that controlled the initial fighting : Middle East Command ) while the Americans called the theatre of operations the Mediterranean Theater of War . The German official history of the fighting is dubbed The Mediterranean , South - East Europe , and North Africa 1939 -- 1942 . Regardless of the size of the theatre , the various campaigns were not seen as neatly separated areas of operations but part of one vast theatre of war . Fascist Italy aimed to carve out a new Roman Empire , while British forces aimed initially to retain the status quo . Italy unsuccessfully invaded Greece , and not until the introduction of German forces were Greece and Yugoslavia overrun . Allied and Axis forces engaged in back and forth fighting across North Africa , with Axis interference in the Middle East causing fighting to spread there . With confidence high from early gains , German forces planned elaborate attacks to be launched to capture the Middle East and then to possibly attack the southern border of the Soviet Union . However , following three years of fighting , Axis forces were defeated in North Africa and their interference in the Middle East was halted . Allied forces then commenced an invasion of Southern Europe , resulting in the Italians deposing Mussolini and joining the Allies . A prolonged battle for Italy took place between Allied and German forces . As the strategic situation changed in south - east Europe , British troops returned to Greece . The theatre of war had the longest duration of the Second World War , resulted in the destruction of the Italian Empire and altered the strategic position of Germany , resulting in German divisions being deployed to Africa and Italy and total losses ( including those captured upon final surrender ) being over half a million . Italian losses amounted to around 177,000 men with a further several hundred thousand captured during the process of the various campaigns . British losses amount to over 300,000 men killed , wounded , or captured , and total American losses in the region amounted to 130,000 .

During the late 1920s , Benito Mussolini claimed that Italy needed an outlet for its `` surplus population '' and that it would be in other countries ' best interests to aid in this expansion . The regime wanted `` hegemony in the Mediterranean -- Danubian -- Balkan region '' and the gaining of world power by the conquest `` of an empire stretching from the Strait of Gibraltar to the Strait of Hormuz '' . The Fascists had designs on Albania , Dalmatia , large parts of Slovenia , Croatia , Bosnia and Herzegovina , Macedonia and Greece and harked back to the Roman empire . The regime also sought to establish protectorates with Austria , Hungary , Romania and Bulgaria . Covert motives were for Italy to become the dominant power in the Mediterranean , capable of challenging France or Britain and gaining access to the Atlantic and Indian Oceans . On 30 November 1938 , Mussolini addressed the Fascist Grand Council on the goal of capturing Albania , Tunisia , Corsica , the Ticino canton of Switzerland and `` French territory east of the River Var ( to include Nice , but not Savoy ) '' . Mussolini alleged that Italy required uncontested access to the oceans and shipping lanes to ensure its national sovereignty . Italy was a `` prisoner in the Mediterranean '' and had to break the chains of British and French control . Corsica , Cyprus , Gibraltar , Malta , Suez and Tunisia would need to be taken and Egypt , France , Greece , Turkey and the United Kingdom had to be challenged . Through armed conquest , the north and east African colonies would be linked and this ' prison ' destroyed . Italy would be able to march `` either to the Indian Ocean through the Sudan and Abyssinia , or to the Atlantic by way of French North Africa '' . On 2 October 1935 , the Second Italo -- Ethiopian War began when Italian forces invaded Abyssinia . Mussolini lauded the conquest as a new source of raw materials and location for emigration and speculated that a native army could be raised there to `` help conquer the Sudan . `` Almost as soon as the Abyssinian campaign ended , Italian intervention in the Spanish Civil War '' began . On 7 April 1939 , Mussolini began the Italian invasion of Albania and within two days had occupied the country . In May 1939 , Italy formally allied to Nazi Germany in the Pact of Steel . Italian foreign policy went through two stages during the Fascist regime . Until 1934 -- 35 , Mussolini followed a `` modest ... and responsible '' course and following that date there was `` ceaseless activity and aggression '' . `` Prior to the Italian invasion of Ethiopia , Mussolini had made military agreements with the French and formed a coalition with the British and French to prevent German aggression in Europe . '' The Ethiopian War `` exposed vulnerabilities and created opportunities that Mussolini seized to realise his imperial vision '' Britain ( edit ) Middle East Command At the Nyon Conference of 1937 , Italy and the United Kingdom `` disclaimed any desire to modify or see modified the national sovereignty of any country in the Mediterranean area , and agreed to discourage any activities liable to impair mutual relations . '' Italian diplomatic and military moves did not reflect this agreement . In the aftermath of the Italian invasion of Abyssinia , British and Italian forces in North Africa were reinforced . Due to various Italian moves , in July 1937 , the British decided `` that Italy could not now be regarded as a reliable friend '' and preparations began to bring `` the defences of the Mediterranean and the Red Sea ports up - to - date '' . In 1938 , a weak armoured division was established in Egypt and further army and air force reinforcements were dispatched from Britain . With rising tension in Europe , in June 1939 , the United Kingdom established Middle East Command ( MEC ) in Cairo to provide centralised command for British army units in the Mediterranean and Middle East theatre . All three branches of the British military were made equally responsible for the defence of the area . The authority of MEC included Aden , British Somaliland , Cyprus , Egypt , Eritrea , Ethiopia , Kenya , Greece , Libya , Palestine , Iraq , Sudan , Tanganyika , Transjordan , Uganda and the shores of the Persian Gulf . If necessary , command would be exerted as far away as the Caucasus and the Indian Ocean . The purpose of the command was to be `` the western bastion of defence of India '' , keep British supply lines open to India and the Far East , and keep the Middle Eastern oilfields out of Axis hands . Upon the establishment of MEC , it was ordered to co-ordinate with the French military in the Middle East and Africa as well as liaise with the Turkish General Staff and possibly the Greek General Staff . On 19 October 1939 , the Treaty of Mutual Assistance was signed between the United Kingdom , France and Turkey and British military forces were authorised to begin discussions with the Turkish general staff ; a further conference was held during March 1940 . Within a week of the Italian occupation of Albania , France and the United Kingdom `` announced they had promised to give all the help in their power if Greek and Romanian independence were threatened and if the Greek Government or Romanian Government considered it vital to resist . '' British forces in the Middle East were ordered to avoid provocation . Following the defeat of Poland , the threat of an Axis attack from the Balkans against British positions in the Middle East and Eastern Mediterranean region increased . In late 1939 , with the assumption that Britain would soon be at war with Italy , planning began for attacks to capture Bardia and Jaghbub ( Giarabub ) in Libya and arrangements began in Egypt , to accommodate a much larger force . Preparations to reinforce the Iraqi army were made and Palestinian security forces were to be reduced to the minimum . British forces in East Africa were to study operations to destroy the Italian forces and support local risings , all in support of the main Allied offensive , which was planned to be launched from French Somaliland . Troops in Sudan were also asked to consider launching operations against Kufra in southern Libya . Initial Military operations ( edit ) On 10 June 1940 , Italy declared war on France and the United Kingdom and next day the British Commonwealth declared war on Italy . The fleets of Italy , France and the United Kingdom began the hostilities of the Battle of the Mediterranean . The siege of Malta soon began , with first Italian air attack on 11 June . In the Western Desert , Royal Air Force ( RAF ) aircraft attacked Italian positions inside Libya . On 11 June , the Western Desert Campaign began , as the British launched minor raids and conducted patrols along the Libyan -- Egyptian border and on 17 June , Fort Capuzzo was captured . On 20 June , Mussolini began the Italian invasion of France , just before the end of the Battle of France . During June , the East African Campaign began with Italian attacks in East Africa , although ground combat did not start until July . The demarcation of France , following the two armistices coming into effect on 25 June . On 22 June , France signed an armistice at Compiegne with Germany and on 24 June , the Franco - Italian Armistice was signed . Italy gained a 50 kilometres ( 31 mi ) demilitarised zone inside France ( as well as similar zones where Italian and French colonies met ) . Italian occupation forces took over an 832 km ( 321 sq mi ) area of France , which included 28,500 people and the town of Menton . The Royal Navy attacked the French fleet in the North African port of Mers - el - Kébir on 3 July 1940 , after it refused to sail to Britain or the French West Indies and demobilise , as part of a larger plan to stop the French fleet from falling into German or Italian hands . When Italy entered the war , there were no plans for an invasion of Egypt while France was still able to resist . When France surrendered , Mussolini gave instructions for his generals to prepare an offensive . On 10 August , he instructed his forces to be prepared to attack in conjunction with the German invasion of the United Kingdom . While his generals did not believe they were prepared , they were ordered to push forward without any solid objectives . On 9 September , Italian aircraft start preparation bombardments for the invasion of Egypt . Four days later , Italian infantry attacked and advanced as far as Sidi Barrani before digging in , 80 mi ( 130 km ) west of the main British position at Mersa Matruh . In East Africa , after some initial offensive actions , the Italian conquest of British Somaliland began in August and annexed the colony . After crossing the Albanian border , Italian forces began the Greco - Italian War by invading Greece on 28 October . The Greek army repulsed the Italian attack and commenced a counter-offensive on 14 November , which pushed Italian forces back into Albania . The Royal Navy inflicted a major setback upon the Italian Royal Navy during the Battle of Taranto on the night of 12 / 13 November . After assembling enough forces the British launched a counter-attack upon the Italians in Egypt . Operation Compass drove the Italians out of Egypt and resulted in the destruction of the Italian 10th Army in February 1941 . Following this success , British forces adopted a defensive position in North Africa and redeployed most troops to Greece in Operation Lustre , leaving a weak force garrisoning the gains made from Operation Compass . In March , the Battle of Kufra ended with the Italians losing the desert oasis of Kufra -- a vital link between Italian east and north Africa -- which was located in south - eastern Libya . Axis success ( edit ) North Africa ( edit ) Impero italiano ( red ) ; the maximum extent of the Italian Empire shown in pink In North Africa , the Italians responded to the defeat of their Tenth Army by dispatching armour and motorised divisions . Germany dispatched the Afrika Korps in Operation Sonnenblume , to bolster the Italians with a mission to block further Allied attempts to drive the Italians out of the region . However , its commanding officer -- Erwin Rommel -- seized on the weakness of his opponents and without waiting for his forces to fully assemble , rapidly went on the offensive . In March -- April 1941 , he defeated the British forces facing him and forced the British and Commonwealth forces into retreat . The Australian 9th Infantry Division fell back to the fortress port of Tobruk and the remaining British and Commonwealth forces withdrew a further 100 mi ( 160 km ) east to Sollum on the Libyan -- Egyptian border . The Siege of Tobruk began by the main Axis force and a small German force pressed eastwards , retaking all territory lost to Operation Compass , and advanced into Egypt . By the end of April , Sollum had fallen and the important Halfaya Pass captured . General Ettore Bastico , Supreme Commander of Axis Forces in North Africa . Balkans ( edit ) In the Balkans , the Greeks had been reluctant to allow British troops into the country , because Britain could not spare enough forces to guarantee victory . They had , however , accepted aid from the RAF in their war with the Italians in Albania . As it became likely Germany would attack Greece , four British divisions were switched from North Africa to reinforce Greek Army . The advanced guards of these troops began arriving in March 1941 , triggering the entry of German forces into Bulgaria , which made clear the German intent to invade Greece . In April 1941 , Germans , Italians , Hungarians and Bulgarians made quick work of the Royal Yugoslav army . They captured the country in 11 days and partitioned it among themselves and newly formed client states : Independent State of Croatia and Nedić 's Serbia . A complex guerilla uprising of communist - led Partisans , commanded by Josip Broz Tito , soon broke out . A more ambivalent , predominantly Serb paramilitary movement of royalist Chetniks both fought the occupying forces and collaborated with them against the communists . The Partisans eventually gained recognition from the Allies as the sole resistance movement . With help from both the Soviets and the Western Allies , they turned into a formidable fighting force and successfully liberated the country . Uprising in Yugoslavia 1941 . Beginning on 6 April , in the ensuing Battle of Greece the Germans had been temporarily held at the border by the Greeks , yet after moving through south - eastern Yugoslavia , they had been able to turn the Allied flank , cutting off Greek units in the east of the country . Greek forces in central Macedonia were isolated from the Commonwealth forces moving up in an attempt stabilise the front , with the Germans then falling on the rear of the main Greek army facing the Italians in Macedonia . The German advance into Greece was made easier because the bulk of the Greek Army was engaged fighting the Italians on the Albanian front in the north of the country . The Greeks were forced to capitulate , ending resistance on the mainland by the end of the month . Abandoning most of its equipment , the Commonwealth force retreated to the island of Crete . From 20 May , the Germans attacked the island by using paratroops to secure an air bridgehead despite suffering heavy casualties . They then flew in more troops and were able to capture the rest of the island by 1 June . With their victory in the Battle of Crete the Germans had secured their southern flank and turned their attention towards the Soviet Union . East Africa ( edit ) Duke Amedeo d'Aosta Main article : East African Campaign ( World War II ) In East Africa , the British launched a counter-attack against the Italians from Kenya Colony in February 1941 . Landings were subsequently conducted in British Somaliland and Italian Ethiopia , while an expedition from the Sudan moved on Addis Ababa . The Italian Viceroy , Duke Amedeo d'Aosta , was forced to surrender by 18 May which effectively ended the campaign , allowing the Empire of Ethiopia to be re-established under Haile Selassie . A number of Italian garrisons continued to hold out , but the last of these , at Gondar , surrendered in November . Small groups of Italian troops carried out the Italian guerrilla war in Ethiopia until October 1943 . Middle East operations ( edit ) Iraq ( edit ) Main articles : Anglo - Iraqi War and Farhud When Italy entered the war the Iraqi government did not break off diplomatic relations , as they had done with Germany . The Italian Legation in Baghdad became the centre for Axis propaganda and for fomenting anti-British feeling . In this they were aided by Mohammad Amin al - Husayni , the British appointee as the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem , who had fled from the British Mandate of Palestine shortly before the outbreak of war and later received asylum in Baghdad . In January 1941 , there was a political crisis within Iraq as Rashid Ali resigned as Prime Minister of Iraq and was replaced by Taha al - Hashimi ; civil war loomed . On 31 March , the Regent of Iraq , Prince ' Abd al - Ilah , learnt of a plot to arrest him and fled Baghdad for RAF Habbaniya , from whence he was flown to Basra and given refuge on the Insect class gunboat HMS Cockchafer . On 1 April , Rashid Ali , along with four senior Army and Air Force officers known as the `` Golden Square '' , seized power via a coup d'état and Rashid Ali proclaimed himself Chief of the `` National Defence Government . '' The Golden Square deposed al - Hashimi and restored Rashid Ali . Ali did not overthrow the monarchy and named a new Regent to King Faisal II , Sherif Sharaf . The leaders of the `` National Defence Government '' proceeded to arrest many pro-British citizens and politicians but many escaped through Amman in Transjordan . The new regime planned to refuse further concessions to the United Kingdom , to retain diplomatic links with Fascist Italy and to expel the most prominent pro-British politicians . The plotters considered the United Kingdom to be weak and believed that its government would negotiate with their new government regardless of its legality . On 17 April , Rashid Ali , on behalf of the `` National Defence Government '' asked Germany for military assistance in the event of war with the British . Ali attempted to restrict British rights guaranteed under Article 5 of the 1930 Anglo - Iraqi Treaty , when he insisted that newly arrived British troops quickly be transported through Iraq and to Palestine . Before the coup , Rashid Ali 's supporters had been informed that Germany would recognise the independence of Iraq from the British Empire . There had also been discussions on war material being sent to support the Iraqis and other Arab factions in fighting the British . On 3 May , German Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop persuaded Adolf Hitler to secretly return Dr. Fritz Grobba to Iraq to lead a diplomatic mission to channel support to the Rashid Ali regime but the British quickly learned of the German arrangements through intercepted Italian diplomatic transmissions . On 6 May , in accordance with the Paris Protocols , Germany concluded a deal with the Vichy French government to release war materials , including aircraft , from sealed stockpiles in the French Mandate of Syria and transport them to Iraq . The French also agreed to allow passage of other weapons and material and loaned several airbases in northern Syria to Germany , for the transport of German aircraft to Iraq . Between 9 May and the end of the month , about 100 German and about 20 Italian aircraft landed on Syrian airfields . On 30 April , the Iraqi Army surrounded and besieged RAF Habbaniya ; the base had no operational aircraft but the RAF converted trainers to carry weapons and a battalion of infantry reinforcements was flown in . German and Italian aircraft supported the Iraqi army and British reinforcements were dispatched to Iraq from Transjordan and India . The larger but poorly trained Iraqi force was defeated and Baghdad and Mosul were captured . Ali and his supporters fled the country and an armistice was signed , restoring the monarchy of Faisal II , the Kingdom of Iraq and a pro-British government . The defeat of the rebellion saw the defeat of the German - Italian attempt to entrench an Axis state in Iraq and worsened relations between the UK and Vichy France , culminating in the Syria - Lebanon Campaign . Operation Exporter ( edit ) Main article : Syria -- Lebanon Campaign In Operation Exporter , Australian , Free French , British and Indian units invaded Syria and Lebanon from Palestine in the south on 8 June 1941 . Vigorous resistance was met from the Vichy French but superior Allied training , equipment and numbers overwhelmed the defenders . More attacks were launched at the end of June and early July , from Iraq into northern and central Syria , by Iraqforce . By 8 July , north - east Syria had been captured and elements of Iraqforce had advanced up the river Euphrates towards Aleppo , the rear of the Vichy forces defending Beirut from the advance from the south . Negotiations for an armistice were started on 11 July and surrender terms signed on 14 July . Iran ( edit ) Main article : Operation Countenance Supplies to the Soviet Union had been sent via the North Cape to Murmansk and Archangel soon after the German invasion but the number of ships available was limited and convoys were vulnerable to German air and submarine attack . Supplies were also sent from American pacific ports to Vladivostok in Soviet - flagged ships and Allied planners wished to open another supply route through Iran . The Shah was pro-German and would not allow access and an Anglo - Soviet invasion of Iran in August 1941 occupied Iran in Operation Countenance . The Shah was deposed , his son put on the throne , Iranian oil fields were secured and the line of supply to Russia established . Gibraltar and Malta ( edit ) Main articles : Military history of Gibraltar during World War II , Force H , Siege of Malta ( World War II ) , and Mediterranean U-boat Campaign ( World War II ) Five Malta - based RAF pilots sitting in front of a Beaufighter and a Spitfire at RAF Luqa , January 1943 Gibraltar commanded the entrance to the Mediterranean and had been a British fortress since the early 18th century . The territory provided a strongly defended harbour , from which ships could operate in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean . Force H ( Vice-Admiral James Somerville ) was based in Gibraltar and had the task of maintaining naval superiority and providing a strong escort for convoys to and from the Malta . Malta was 60 miles ( 97 km ) from Sicily and one of the first targets of the Italian army and the Regia Aeronautica ; the air defence of Malta comprised six obsolescent Gloster Gladiator biplanes . After the first Italian air attacks it became clear that Malta could be defended and in early July , the Gladiators were reinforced by twelve Hawker Hurricane fighters . The Kriegsmarine began operations in the Mediterranean with establishment of the 23rd U-boat Flotilla at a base on Salamis Island in Greece in September 1941 . The flotilla was to operate against British supply convoys to Allied forces on Malta and in Tobruk . On 7 December , control of the 23rd Flotilla was transferred from Kernével to Field Marshal Albert Kesselring , Commander in Chief South ( OB Süd ) in Italy . Additional bases were established in Pula in Croatia and La Spezia in northern Italy , as more U-boats were sent to the Mediterranean . Bombing and the naval blockade led to food and commodity shortages and rationing was imposed on the inhabitants . Luftwaffe reinforcements in the Mediterranean joined in the bombing but during a lull in early 1942 , 61 Supermarine Spitfires were delivered , which very much improved the defensive situation , although food , ammunition , and fuel were still short . Supply runs during lulls in the bombing kept Malta in being but many ships like SS Ohio were damaged too severely to leave . The defence of the island ensured that the Allies had an advantage in the fight to control the Mediterranean and as the garrison recovered from periods of intense bombing , aircraft , submarines and light surface ships resumed attacks on Axis supply ships , leading to fuel and supply shortages for the Axis forces in Libya . Allied reply ( edit ) North Africa ( edit ) Main article : Western Desert Campaign During 1941 , the British launched several offensives to push back the Axis forces in North Africa . Operation Brevity failed as did Operation Battleaxe but Operation Crusader , the third and larger offensive was launched at the end of the year . Over December 1941 into early 1942 , Allied forces pushed the Italian - German forces back through Libya to roughly the limit of the previous Operation Compass advance . Taking advantage of the Allied position , German forces struck back and pushed the Allied to Gazala , west of Tobruk . As both sides prepared for offensives , the Axis forces struck first and inflicted a heavy defeat upon the Allied forces during the Battle of Gazala . The routed Allied forced retreated to Egypt where they commenced to make a stand at El Alamein . Following the First Battle of El Alamein , which had stalled the Axis advance into Egypt , British forces went onto the offensive in October . The Second Battle of El Alamein marked a major turning point in the Western Desert Campaign and turned the tide in the North African Campaign . It ended the Axis threat to Egypt , the Suez Canal , and of gaining access to the Middle Eastern and Persian oil fields via North Africa . As the Eighth Army pushed west across the desert , capturing Libya , German forces occupied southern France and landed in Tunisia . On 8 November , Allied forces launched Operation Torch landing in various places across French North Africa . In December 1942 , after a 101 - day British blockade , French Somaliland fell to the Allies . US involvement ( edit ) Following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941 , the United States joined the war . On 8 November 1942 , American forces entered combat in the Mediterranean and Middle East , which `` transformed the Mediterranean from a British to an Allied theater of war '' , `` succeeding operations in the Mediterranean area proved far more extensive than intended . One undertaking was to lead to the next '' . After liberating French North Africa and clearing the enemy from the Italian colonies , the Allies sought to bring the entire French empire effectively into the war against the Axis powers . They reopened the Mediterranean route to the Middle East . They went on from Africa to liberate Sicily , Sardinia , and Corsica . They caused Mussolini to topple from power , and they brought his successors to surrender . They drew more and more German military resources into a stubborn defence of the Italian peninsula , and helped the Yugoslavs to pin down within their spirited country thousands of Axis troops . Eventually , the Allies delivered a solid blow from southern France against the German forces which were opposing the Allied drive from the beaches of Normandy ! They made Marseilles available for Allied use and they occupied northern Italy and Greece . '' Howe further notes that `` Hitler had always accepted the principle that the Mediterranean was an area of paramount Italian interest just as , farther north , German interests were exclusive . Allied forces were placed under the command of a Supreme Allied Commander AFHQ Mediterranean , General Dwight D. Eisenhower . Axis forces were caught between the Allied armies during the Tunisia Campaign but managed to delay the Allied advance by defensive operations , most notably with the Battle of the Kasserine Pass and a temporary defensive success at the Battle of the Mareth Line . After shattering the Axis defence on the Mareth Line , the Allies squeezed Axis forces into a pocket around Tunis . Axis resistance in Africa ended on 13 May 1943 , with the unconditional surrender of nearly 240,000 men , who became prisoners of war . Southern Europe ( edit ) Italian Campaign ( edit ) Main article : Italian Campaign ( World War II ) Men of the 10th Battalion , Royal Berkshire Regiment , part of 168th Brigade of British 56th Division , climbing the heights of Calvi Risorta shortly after the invasion of Italy , October 1943 . Following the Allied victory in North Africa the Allies invaded Sicily in Operation Husky on 10 July 1943 , with amphibious and airborne landings . The Germans were unable to prevent the Allied capture of the island but evacuated most of their troops and equipment to the mainland before the Allies entered Messina on 17 August . On 25 July , the Italian government deposed Mussolini , the Italian leader , who was subsequently arrested . The new government announced that it would continue the war but secretly commenced negotiations with the Allies . The Allied invasion of Italy started when the British Eighth Army landed in the toe of Italy on 3 September 1943 , in Operation Baytown . The Italian government signed the surrender the same day , believing they would be given time to make preparations against the anticipated German intervention . The Allies announced the Armistice of Cassibile on 8 September and German forces implemented plans to occupy the Italian peninsula . On 9 September , American and British forces of the US Fifth Army landed at Salerno in Operation Avalanche and more British airborne troops landed at Taranto in Operation Slapstick . German forces which had escaped from Sicily were concentrated against Avalanche , while additional forces were brought in to occupy Rome and disarm the Italian Army in central and northern Italy . Brazilian soldiers celebrate the Brazilian Independence Day in Italy during World War II , September 1944 . The Germans were unable to prevent the Italian fleet sailing to Malta , although the battleship Roma was sunk by the Luftwaffe on 9 September . In the occupied areas of southern Europe and the Mediterranean , German forces rapidly disarmed and captured Italian troops , putting down any resistance they offered in Yugoslavia , southern France and Greece . Meanwhile , on 16 September , a German airborne force led by Otto Skorzeny rescued Mussolini from the mountain resort in the Gran Sasso where he was being held . A puppet government headed by Mussolini was subsequently set up in northern Italy as the successor state to the former fascist government . As the campaign in Italy continued , the rough terrain prevented fast movement and proved ideal for defence , the Allies continued to push the Germans northwards through the rest of the year . The German prepared defensive line called the Winter Line ( parts of which were called the Gustav Line ) proved a major obstacle to the Allies at the end of 1943 , halting the advance . Operation Shingle , an amphibious assault at Anzio behind the line was intended to break it , but did not have the desired effect . The line was eventually broken by frontal assault at the Fourth Battle of Monte Cassino in the Spring of 1944 and Rome was captured in June . Following the fall of Rome , the Normandy landings ( 6 June 1944 ) that began Operation Overlord and the Red Army victories on the Eastern Front , the Italian campaign became of secondary importance to both sides . The Gothic Line north of Rome was not broken until the Spring offensive of 1945 . From 1944 to the end of war , the Italian Front was made up of a multi-national Allied force of Americans ( including segregated African and Japanese - Americans ) , Brazilians , British , Canadians , Czechs , French , Greeks , anti-fascist Italians , the 2nd New Zealand Division , Poles , South Africans and Rhodesians as well as members of the British and French empires , including the 3rd Algerian Infantry Division , Gurkhas , Indians , Moroccans and forces raised in Mandatory Palestine . On 1 May , SS General Karl Wolff and the Commander - in - Chief of the German 10th Army , General Heinrich von Vietinghoff , after Operation Sunrise ( protracted , clandestine , negotiations with the Allies ) , ordered German armed forces in Italy to make an unconditional surrender to the Allies on 2 May 1945 . Dodecanese Campaign ( edit ) Main article : Dodecanese Campaign The brief campaign in the Italian - held Dodecanese Islands resulted as both Germany and the Allies scrambled to occupy them after the surrender of Italy in early September 1943 . The main island of Rhodes was swiftly secured by German forces , but British garrisons were established on most islands by mid-September . German air superiority , tactical prowess , and the absence of Allied reinforcements doomed the Allied effort , however . German forces , including paratroopers and Brandenburger commandos , launched a counter-offensive , capturing the island of Kos within two days in early October . A massive 50 - day - long aerial campaign was launched against the island of Leros defended by Italian troops commanded by Admiral Mascherpa , who resisted the German air offensive before the landing of British support troops , which was invaded by the Germans who landed by sea and air on 12 November and surrendered four days later . The remaining British garrisons were then evacuated to the Middle East . Invasion of southern France ( edit ) Main article : Operation Dragoon On 15 August 1944 , in an effort to aid their operations in Normandy , the Allies launched Operation Dragoon -- the invasion of Southern France between Toulon and Cannes . The Allies rapidly broke out of their beachheads and fanned out north and east to join up with the American 12th Army Group which was breaking out of the Normandy beachhead . In early September supreme command of the 6th Army Group moved from AFHQ to SHAEF and the 6th Army Group moved out of the Mediterranean Theatre and into the European Theatre fighting as one of three Allied army groups on the Western Front . Post-war conflicts ( edit ) Trieste ( edit ) At the end of the war in Europe , on 1 May 1945 , troops of the 4th Army of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the Slovene 9th Corpus NLA occupied the town of Trieste . The Germans surrendered to the Allies which entered the town the following day . The Yugoslavs had to leave the town some days after . Greece ( edit ) Allied forces which had been sent to Greece in October 1944 after the German withdrawal , were attacked by the leftist EAM - ELAS Resistance movement , resulting in clashes in Athens during December of that year , which began the Greek Civil War . Syria ( edit ) Further information : Levant Crisis In Syria , nationalist protests were on the rise at the continued occupation of the Levant by France in May 1945 . French forces then tried to quell the protests but concern with heavy Syrian casualties forced Winston Churchill to oppose French action there . After being rebuffed by Charles De Gaulle he ordered British forces under general Bernard Paget into Syria from Jordan with orders to fire on the French if necessary . A crisis began as British armoured cars and troops then reached the Syrian capital Damascus following which the French were escorted and confined to their barracks . With political pressure added the French ordered a ceasefire ; following which the French withdrew from Syria the following year . Palestine ( edit ) Further information : Intercommunal conflict in Mandatory Palestine Prior to the war the British Mandate in Palestine was faced with ethnic violence between the Muslim population and Jewish residents and settlers of Mandatory Palestine , that carried over into the war . After the war the 1947 -- 48 Civil War in Mandatory Palestine began between Arab forces , Zionist forces and the British administration that lasted until 1948 and later drew in neighbouring nations into the conflict causing the start of the 1948 Arab -- Israeli War .

[ "The Mediterranean and Middle East Theatre was a major theatre of operations during the Second World War. The vast size of the Mediterranean and Middle East theatre saw interconnected naval, land, and air campaigns fought for control of the Mediterranean, North Africa, the Horn of Africa, the Middle East and Southern Europe. The fighting in this theatre lasted from 10 June 1940, when Italy entered the war on the side of Nazi Germany, until 2 May 1945 when all Axis forces in Italy surrendered. However, fighting would continue in Greece – where British troops had been dispatched to aid the Greek government – during the early stages of the Greek Civil War.\n" ]

History of political science
History of political science - wikipedia History of political science Jump to : navigation , search Political science as a separate field is a rather late arrival in terms of social sciences . However , the term `` political science '' was not always distinguished from political philosophy , and the modern discipline has a clear set of antecedents including also moral philosophy , political economy , political theology , history , and other fields concerned with normative determinations of what ought to be and with deducing the characteristics and functions of the ideal state . Contents ( hide ) 1 Western 1.1 Ancient 1.2 Medieval 1.3 Renaissance 1.4 Enlightenment 1.5 19th century 1.6 Since 1920 1.7 Behavioralism 1.7. 1 Systems 1.7. 2 Canada 1.7. 3 Europe 2 India 3 China 4 Middle East 5 See also 6 Notes 7 Further reading Western ( edit ) Ancient ( edit ) The antecedents of Western politics can be traced back to the Socratic political philosophers , and Aristotle ( `` The Father of Political Science '' ) ( 384 -- 322 BC ) . These authors , in such works as The Republic and Laws by Plato , and The Politics and Nicomachean Ethics by Aristotle , analyzed political systems philosophically , going beyond earlier Greek poetic and historical reflections which can be found in the works of epic poets like Homer and Hesiod , historians like Herodotus and Thucydides , and dramatists such as Sophocles , Aristophanes , and Euripides . During the height of the Roman Empire , famous historians such as Polybius , Livy and Plutarch documented the rise of the Roman Republic , and the organization and histories of other nations , while statesmen like Julius Caesar , Cicero and others provided us with examples of the politics of the republic and Rome 's empire and wars . The study of politics during this age was oriented toward understanding history , understanding methods of governing , and describing the operation of governments . Nearly a thousand years elapsed , from the foundation of the city of Rome in 753 BC to the fall of the Western Roman Empire or the beginning of the Middle Ages . In the interim , there is a manifest translation of Hellenic culture into the Roman sphere . The Greek gods become Romans and Greek philosophy in one way or another turns into Roman law e.g. Stoicism . The Stoic was committed to preserving proper hierarchical roles and duties in the state so that the state as a whole would remain stable . Among the best known Roman Stoics were philosopher Seneca and the emperor Max Aurelius . Seneca , a wealthy Roman patrician , is often criticized by some modern commentators / historians for failing to adequately live by his own precepts . The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius , on the other hand , can be best thought of as the philosophical reflections of an emperor divided between his philosophical aspirations and the duty he felt to defend the Roman Empire from its external enemies through his various military campaigns . According to Polybius , Roman institutions were the backbone of the empire but Goldman Law is the medulla . Medieval ( edit ) With the fall of the Western Roman Empire , there arose a more diffuse arena for political studies . The rise of monotheism and , particularly for the Western tradition , Christianity , brought to light a new space for politics and political action . Works such as Augustine of Hippo 's The City of God synthesized current philosophies and political traditions with those of Christianity , redefining the borders between what was religious and what was political . During the Middle Ages , the study of politics was widespread in the churches and courts . Most of the political questions surrounding the relationship between church and state were clarified and contested in this period . The Arabs lost sight of Aristotle 's political science but continued to study Plato 's Republic which became the basic text of Judeo - Islamic political philosophy as in the works of Alfarabi and Averroes ; this did not happen in the Christian world , where Aristotle 's Politics was translated in the 13th century and became the basic text as in the works of Saint Thomas Aquinas . Renaissance ( edit ) During the Italian Renaissance , Niccolò Machiavelli established the emphasis of modern political science on direct empirical observation of political institutions and actors . In the Prince Machiavelli posits a realist viewpoint , arguing that even evil means should be considered if they help to create and preserve a desired regime . Machiavelli therefore also argues against the use of idealistic models in politics , and has been described as the father of the `` politics model '' of political science . Machiavelli takes a different tone in his lesser known work , the Discourses of Livy . In this work he expounds on the virtues of republicanism and what it means to be a good citizen . Later , the expansion of the scientific paradigm during the Enlightenment further pushed the study of politics beyond normative determinations . Enlightenment ( edit ) The works of the French philosophers Voltaire , Rousseau , Diderot to name a few are paragon for political analysis , social science , social and political critic . Their influence leading to the French revolution has been enormous in the development of modern democracy throughout the world . Like Machiavelli , Thomas Hobbes , well known for his theory of the social contract , believed that a strong central power , such as a monarchy , was necessary to rule the innate selfishness of the individual but neither of them believed in the divine right of kings . John Locke , on the other hand , who gave us Two Treatises of Government and who did not believe in the divine right of kings either , sided with Aquinas and stood against both Machiavelli and Hobbes by accepting Aristotle 's dictum that man seeks to be happy in a state of social harmony as a social animal . Unlike Aquinas ' preponderant view on the salvation of the soul from original sin , Locke believed man comes into this world with a mind that is basically a tabula rasa . According to Locke , an absolute ruler as proposed by Hobbes is unnecessary , for natural law is based on reason and equality , seeking peace and survival for man . The new Western philosophical foundations that emerged from the pursuit of reason during the Enlightenment era helped pave the way for policies that emphasized a need for a separation of church and state . Principles similar to those that dominated the material sciences could be applied to society as a whole , originating the social sciences . Politics could be studied in a laboratory as it were , the social milieu . In 1787 , Alexander Hamilton wrote : `` ... The science of politics like most other sciences has received great improvement . '' ( The Federalist Papers Number 9 and 51 ) . Both the marquis d'Argenson and the abbé de Saint - Pierre described politics as a science ; d'Argenson was a philosopher and de Saint - Pierre an allied reformer of the enlightenment . Other important figures in American politics who participated in the Enlightenment were Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson . 19th century ( edit ) The Darwinian models of evolution and natural selection exerted considerable influence in the late 19th century . Society seemed to be evolving ever upward , a belief that was shattered by World War I . `` History is past politics and politics present history '' was the motto of the first generation of American political scientists , 1882 - 1900 . The motto had been coined by the Oxford professor Edward Augustus Freeman , and was enshrined on the wall of the seminar room at Johns Hopkins University where the first large - scale training of America and political scientists began . The founding professors of the field included Herbert Baxter Adams at Johns Hopkins , John Burgess and William Dunning at Columbia , Woodrow Wilson at Princeton , and Albert Bushnell Hart at Harvard . Their graduate seminars had a thick historical cast , which typically reflected their experience in German University seminars . However , succeeding generations of scholars progressively cut back on the history and deliberate fashion . The second generation wanted to model itself on the physical sciences . In the Progressive Era in the United States ( 1890s - 1920s ) , political science became not only a prestigious university curriculum but also an applied science that was welcomed as a way to apply expertise to the problems of governance . Among the most prominent applied political scientists were Woodrow Wilson , Charles A. Beard , and Charles E. Merriam . Many cities and states set up research bureaus to apply the latest results . Since 1920 ( edit ) The American Political Science Association , established in 1903 , is the largest professional association of political scientists . Behavioralism ( edit ) Main article : Behavioralism Behavioralism ( Behaviouralism ) is an empirical approach which emerged in the 1930s in the United States . It emphasized an objective , quantified approach to explain and predict political behavior . Guy says `` Behaviouralism emphasized the systematic understanding of all identifiable manifestations of political behaviour . But it also meant the application of rigorous scientific and statistical methods to standardize testing and to attempt value free inquiry of the world of politics ... For the behaviouralist , the role of political science is primarily to gather and analyze facts as rigorously and objectively as possible . Petro p 6 says `` Behavioralists generally felt that politics should be studied much in the same way hard sciences are studied . '' It is associated with the rise of the behavioral sciences , modeled after the natural sciences . As Guy notes , quote = The term behaviouralism was recognized as part of a larger scientific movement occurring simultaneously in all of the social sciences , now referred to as the behavioural sciences . '' This means that behavioralism tries to explain behavior with an unbiased , neutral point of view . Behavioralism seeks to examine the behavior , actions , and acts of individuals -- rather than the characteristics of institutions such as legislatures , executives , and judiciaries and groups in different social settings and explain this behavior as it relates to the political . Systems ( edit ) Gunnell argues that since the 1950s the concept of system was the most important theoretical concept used by American political scientists . The idea appeared in sociology and other social sciences but David Easton specified how it could be best applied to behavioral research on politics . Canada ( edit ) Canadian universities until the 1950s were led by British trained scholars for whom political science was not a high priority . Canadians favoured the study of political economy . After 1950 younger scholars increasingly took American PhDs and Canadian departments promoted behavioralism and quantification . Europe ( edit ) Political science operates on a smaller scale in European universities compared to American ones . Traditionally political studies were handled by law professors or professors of philosophy . American impulses toward behavioralism have made the European Consortium for Political Research ( ECPR ) is a unifying force . It sponsors several scholarly journals including European Political Science ( EPS ) ( since 2001 ) , European Journal of Political Research ( EJPR ) and European Political Science Review ( EPSR ) . India ( edit ) In ancient India , the antecedents of politics can be traced back to the Rig - Veda , Samhitas , Brahmanas , the Mahabharata and Buddhist Pali Canon . Chanakya ( c. 350 -- 275 BC ) was a political thinker in Takshashila . Chanakya wrote the Arthashastra , a treatise on political thought , economics and social order . It discusses monetary and fiscal policies , welfare , international relations , and war strategies in detail , among other topics . The Manusmriti , dated to about two centuries after the time of Chanakya is another important Indian political treatise . China ( edit ) Ancient China was home to several competing schools of political thought , most of which arose in the Spring and Autumn period . These included Mohism ( a utilitarian philosophy ) , Taoism , Legalism ( a school of thought based on the supremacy of the state ) , and Confucianism . Eventually , a modified form of Confucianism ( heavily infused with elements of Legalism ) became the dominant political philosophy in China during the Imperial Period . This form of Confucianism also deeply influenced and were expounded upon by scholars in Korea and Japan . Modern scholarship has rapidly developed in the 21st century . Since 1995 The Journal of Chinese Political Science ( JCPS ) has been a refereed academic journal that publishes theoretical , policy , and empirical research articles on Chinese topics . Middle east ( edit ) In medieval Persia , works such as the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam and Epic of Kings by Ferdowsi provided evidence of political analysis , while the Middle Eastern Aristotelians such as Avicenna and later Maimonides and Averroes , continued Aristotle 's tradition of analysis and empiricism , writing commentaries on Aristotle 's works . Averroe did not have at hand a text of Aristotle 's Politics , so he wrote a commentary on Plato 's Republic instead .

who is known as the father of political science
[ "The antecedents of Western politics can be traced back to the Socratic political philosophers, and Aristotle (\"The Father of Political Science\") (384–322 BC). These authors, in such works as The Republic and Laws by Plato, and The Politics and Nicomachean Ethics by Aristotle, analyzed political systems philosophically, going beyond earlier Greek poetic and historical reflections which can be found in the works of epic poets like Homer and Hesiod, historians like Herodotus and Thucydides, and dramatists such as Sophocles, Aristophanes, and Euripides.\n" ]

Following a number of notable leaks , the iPhone 4 was first unveiled on June 7 , 2010 , at Apple 's Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco , and was released on June 24 , 2010 , in the United States , United Kingdom , France , Germany and Japan . It is the 4th generation of iPhone , succeeding the 3GS and preceding the 4S . The iPhone 4 introduced a new hardware design to the iPhone family , which Apple 's CEO Steve Jobs touted as the thinnest smartphone in the world at the time ; it consisted of a stainless steel frame which doubles as an antenna , with internal components situated between aluminosilicate glass . The iPhone 4 also introduced Apple 's new high - resolution `` Retina Display '' with a pixel density of 326 pixels per inch while maintaining the same physical size and aspect ratio as its precursors . The iPhone 4 also introduced Apple 's A4 system - on - chip , along with iOS 4 -- which notably introduced multitasking functionality and Apple 's new FaceTime video chat service . The iPhone 4 was also the first iPhone to include a front - facing camera , and the first to be released in a version for CDMA networks , ending AT&T 's period as the exclusive carrier of iPhone products in the United States . The iPhone 4 received generally positive reception , with critics praising its revamped design and more powerful hardware in comparison to previous models . While it was a market success , with over 600,000 pre-orders within 24 hours , the release of the iPhone 4 was plagued by highly publicized reports that abnormalities in its new antenna design caused the device to lose its cellular signal if held in a certain way . Most human contact with the phone 's outer edge would cause a significant decrease in signal strength . The iPhone 4 spent the longest time as Apple 's flagship iPhone model at fifteen months , and had the longest lifespan of any iPhone ever produced , spanning close to four years and available in some developing countries until early 2015 . Although the succeeding 4S was announced in September 2011 , the 4 continued to be sold as a midrange model until September 2012 , and thereafter as the entry - level offering in Apple 's lineup until September 2013 with the announcement of the iPhone 5S / iPhone 5C .

Many of the speculations regarding technical specifications proved accurate . Engadget leak ( edit ) On January 27 , 2010 , gadget website Engadget received leaked images of the unreleased iPad . Unbeknownst to the editors and readers these images contained two of the unreleased iPhone 4 's . It was n't until the subsequent Gizmodo release were they aware of the complete contents of the images . Gizmodo leak ( edit ) On April 19 , 2010 , gadget website Gizmodo reported that they had purchased an iPhone prototype for $5000 , and furthermore , had conducted a product teardown of the device . The prototype is reported to have been lost by an Apple employee , Gray Powell , in Redwood City , California . Shortly after Gizmodo published detailed information about the prototype , Apple 's legal associates formally requested for the phone to be returned to Apple , and Gizmodo responded with the intent to cooperate . On April 23 , officers from the Rapid Enforcement Allied Computer Team ( REACT ) task force of the California HTTAP Program raided the home of Jason Chen , the Gizmodo editor responsible for reviewing the prototype , seizing all of his computers and hard drives . The Electronic Frontier Foundation criticized the raid as violating journalist source protection laws that forbid the seizure of journalist computers as well as the suspicion that Apple had used its influence as a member of the steering committee which is charged with direction and oversight of the California REACT task force to push police into action in a way that would not normally be conducted for this type of incident . Apple had already received the iPhone prototype before the raid when it was returned by Gizmodo . The District Attorney has stated that the investigation has been suspended , and discontinued searching through the Gizmodo editor 's belongings as they determine whether the shield laws are applicable , and cautioned that no charges have been issued at this point . Taoviet leak ( edit ) Pictures and video of a second prototype were published on a Vietnamese website , Taoviet , on May 12 , 2010 . It was almost identical to the first , and used an A4 chip manufactured by Apple . The website purchased the prototype for $4,000 . DigiTimes reported that the screen resolution of the new phone was 960 - by - 640 , which was confirmed by Apple at the iPhone 4 's official announcement . Release ( edit ) The iPhone 4 was available for pre-order on June 15 , 2010 . Customers attempting to pre-order the iPhone 4 reported problems with the pre-order process on the US and UK online Apple Stores which crashed due to the surge in traffic . The same issue was reported with AT&T and SoftBank , Apple 's exclusive partners in the United States and Japan respectively , who suspended advance sales of the iPhone 4 as demand threatened to exceed supply . Retail stores were also unable to complete pre-order transactions due to the servers crashing . Apple and its partner carriers received 600,000 pre-orders for the iPhone 4 in the first 24 hours , the largest number of pre-orders Apple had received in a single day for any device up to that point . Engadget reported that at 20 : 30 UTC , all iPhone 4 pre-order suppliers had sold out . 1.7 million iPhone 4s were sold in its first three days of availability . The iPhone 4 has also been released through Orange in Tunisia and was available in eight cities at the launch . On July 30 , 2010 , iPhone 4 was made available for sale in Australia , New Zealand and 15 other countries with free bumper cases . In South Korea , it was released by KT on September 10 . In Israel , it was released , too , on September 24 , through Cellcom , Pelephone and Orange . It was launched in Thailand on September 23 by AIS , DTAC and True Move , and in Malaysia on September 26 in Kuala Lumpur , and nationwide on September 27 according to the website of Maxis . The iPhone 4 was released in South Africa on September 22 on the Vodacom and MTN networks , in very limited quantities . The iPhone 4 was launched in Vietnam on September 30 on VinaPhone and Viettel , at first in 3 major cities : Hanoi , Ho Chi Minh city and Da Nang , and then all over the country by the end of October . The iPhone 4 was launched in India on May 27 , 2011 by Aircel and Airtel . On January 11 , 2011 , Verizon Wireless announced during a media event that it had reached an agreement with Apple and would begin selling a CDMA iPhone 4 in the United States , ending Apple 's exclusivity agreement with AT&T . The Verizon iPhone went on sale on February 10 and pre orders began on February 3 . The Verizon iPhone includes the ' Personal Hotspot '' feature which allows a user to use the iPhone as a wireless hotspot , with up to five devices connecting at one time . The February 3 , 2011 , presale of the iPhone 4 broke Verizon 's first day sales records for a single device . On June 24 , 2010 , Apple issued a statement that the white iPhone 4 models were proving more `` challenging to manufacture '' than expected , and initially pushed the release date back to the second half of July . There was a lot of speculation surrounding the delay of the white iPhone 4 . Among the most popular rumors are those concerning the phone 's internal camera being adversely affected by light leaking in due to the semi-translucent glass and the white paint . Other sources report that the problem relates to Apple 's inability to match the white color of the front face plate with that of the home button . On April 27 , 2011 , Apple announced that it would be releasing the white iPhone 4 model on April 28 , 2011 , for both GSM and CDMA . The release of the white iPhone 4 was carried out on April 28 . During Apple 's official unveiling of the iPhone 4S on October 4 , 2011 , it was announced that Sprint would begin carrying the reconfigured CDMA iPhone 4 and the iPhone 4S in the US on October 14 . Discontinuation ( edit ) In September 2013 , after the release of the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C , Apple stopped selling the iPhone 4 in most of their stores as well as on their website . It was replaced by the 8 GB iPhone 4S . Apple 's CEO Steve Jobs holding a white iPhone 4 . The white iPhone 4 was released in April 2011 . Hardware ( edit ) See also : iPhone Hardware Display ( edit ) See also : Retina Display The display of the iPhone 4 is manufactured by LG under an exclusive contract with Apple . It features an LED backlit TFT LCD capacitive touchscreen with a pixel density of 326 pixels per inch ( ppi ) on a 3.5 in ( 8.9 cm ) ( diagonally measured ) , 960 × 640 display . Each pixel is 78 micrometers in width . The display has a contrast ratio of 800 : 1 . The screen is marketed by Apple as the `` Retina display '' , based on the assertion that a display of approximately 300 ppi at a distance of 305 millimetres ( 12 in ) from one 's eye , or 57 arcseconds per pixel is the maximum amount of detail that the human retina can perceive . With the iPhone expected to be used at a distance of about 12 inches from the eyes , a higher resolution would allegedly have no effect on the image 's apparent quality as the maximum potential of the human eye has already been met . This claim has been disputed . Raymond Soneira , president of DisplayMate Technologies , said in an interview with Wired magazine , that the claims by Jobs are something of an exaggeration : `` It is reasonably close to being a perfect display , but Steve pushed it a little too far '' . Soneira stated that the resolution of the human retina is higher than claimed by Apple , working out to 477 ppi at 12 inches ( 305 mm ) from the eyes , or 36 arcseconds per pixel . However , Phil Plait , author of Bad Astronomy , whose career includes a collaboration with NASA regarding the camera on the Hubble Space Telescope , responded to the criticism by stating that `` if you have ( better than 20 / 20 ) eyesight , then at one foot away the iPhone 4 's pixels are resolved . The picture will look pixellated . If you have average eyesight , the picture will look just fine '' . Camera ( edit ) The iPhone 4 is the first iPhone model to have two cameras . The LED flash for the rear - facing camera ( top ) and the forward - facing camera ( bottom , left of speaker ) are not present in older models . The iPhone 4 features an additional front - facing VGA camera , and a backside - illuminated 5 megapixel rear - facing camera with a 3.85 mm f / 2.8 lens ( 1 ) and an LED flash . The rear - facing camera is capable of recording HD video in 720p at 30 frames per second . Both cameras make use of the tap to focus feature , part of iOS 4 , for photo and video recording . The rear - facing camera has a 5 × digital zoom . In 2012 Will.i.am obtained a licence from Apple to market his i. am+ camera for the iPhone 4 . He said , `` This thing turns the eight - megapixel iPhone camera into a 14 - megapixel camera . We have our own sensor and a better flash . You dock your phone into our device and it turns your smartphone into a genius - phone . We take over the camera . '' Connectivity ( edit ) In contrast to Steve Jobs ' announcement at WWDC 2010 , recent Federal Communications Commission documentation has shown that the iPhone 4 contains a penta - band 3G UMTS antenna , not a quad - band 3G UMTS radio , as advertised by Apple . According to the FCC documentation filed by Apple , the radio inside the iPhone 4 supports 800 , 850 , 900 , 1,900 , and 2,100 MHz . The 800 MHz frequency , which is most commonly used in Japanese mobile phones , is not advertised as being supported by Apple . However , the 800 MHz band is a subset of the 850 MHz band , which probably explains why the device is advertised as quad - band . The chip - sets were manufactured by Skyworks Solutions and Infineon for GSM version . As with most of Apple 's mobile products at the time , the iPhone 4 also used the 30 pin dock connector as its only external data port . The iPhone 4 is the first generation of iPhone to have a second microphone used for noise cancellation . It is located on the top of the unit near the headphone jack ; the main microphone is on the bottom left . Gyroscope and accelerometer ( edit ) The iPhone 4 introduces a gyroscopic sensor that detects 3 - axis angular acceleration around the X , Y and Z axes , enabling precise calculation of yaw , pitch , and roll . The gyroscope complements the accelerometer , a sensor that has been present since the original iPhone , which detects the device 's acceleration , shake , vibration shock , or fall by detecting linear acceleration along one of three axes ( X , Y and Z ) . The combined data from the accelerometer and the gyroscope provides detailed and precise information about the device 's 6 - axis movement in space . The 3 axes of the gyroscope combined with the 3 axes of the accelerometer enable the device to recognize approximately how far , fast , and in which direction it has moved in space . Processor and memory ( edit ) The iPhone 4 is powered by the Apple A4 chip , which was designed by Intrinsity and , like all prior iPhone models , manufactured by Samsung . This system - on - a-chip is composed of an ARM Cortex - A8 CPU integrated with a PowerVR SGX535 GPU . The Apple A4 is also used in the iPad where it is clocked at its rated speed of 1 GHz . The clock speed in the iPhone 4 has not been disclosed . All prior models of the iPhone have underclocked the CPU , which typically extends battery life and lowers heat dissipation . The iPhone 4 has 512 MB of DRAM . The additional DRAM supports increased performance and multi-tasking . Storage and micro-SIM ( edit ) An iPhone 4 A1332 with a micro-SIM card removed with a paper clip , showing its compartment sim card The iPhone 4 uses a micro-SIM card on iPhone 4 devices running on a GSM network , which is positioned in an ejectable tray , located on the right side of the device . On a CDMA network , however , the phone connects to the network using an ESN . All prior models have used regular mini-SIM cards . Depending on the operator , micro-SIM cards may not be available for all networks globally . As a technical workaround it is possible to trim a mini-SIM card with a knife or scissors so that it fits into the micro-SIM tray . As on prior models , all data is stored in flash memory , 8 , 16 or 32 GB , and not on the SIM . Unlike prior generations , the storage capacity is not printed on the back of the unit . Design ( edit ) The iPhone 4 is constructed of glass faces and a metal rim . The iPhone 4 features a redesigned structure , designed by Jonathan Ive , a design that would later be reused and adapted for the iPhone 4S , 5 , 5S and SE . Most notably , the bulges of the back panel as well as the band between the front and back are gone and have been replaced with flattened surfaces . The redesign reflects the utilitarianism and uniformity of existing Apple products , such as the iPad and the iMac . The overall dimensions of the iPhone 4 have been reduced from its predecessor . It is 115 millimetres ( 4.5 in ) high , 58.6 millimetres ( 2.31 in ) wide , and 9.4 millimetres ( 0.37 in ) deep , compared to the iPhone 3GS , which is 116 millimetres ( 4.6 in ) high , 62 millimetres ( 2.4 in ) wide , and 12 millimetres ( 0.47 in ) deep ; making the iPhone 4 24 % thinner than its predecessor , the iPhone 3GS . Steve Jobs claimed it to be `` the thinnest smartphone on the planet . '' The reduced size of the device is primarily due to the externally placed antenna . The iPhone 4 is structured around a stainless steel frame that wraps around the edge of the phone , acting both as the primary structure for the device and as the iPhone 4 's antennas . This metal band features two slits on the GSM version of the phone , one at the lower left , and one at the top ( and a fake slit along the lower right , to cosmetically mirror the one at the lower left ) that divide the band into two antenna sections : the left section of the band serves as the Bluetooth , Wi - Fi , and GPS antenna , and the right and lower sections of the band act as the antenna for GSM and UMTS connectivity . On the CDMA version of the phone there are four slits in the metal band . Two at the top ( on the left and right ) and two at the bottom . This divides the metal band into four different segments , which like the GSM version of the phone , serves as different antennas for connectivity . The top portion of the band ( divided by the top left and right slits ) is for connecting to the CDMA network . The left portion of the metal band is for Bluetooth , Wi - Fi , and GPS just like the GSM version . The right side is not an antenna , but serves to cosmetically mirror the left side and also to create a similar look to the GSM version of the phone . The internal components are situated between two panels of aluminosilicate glass , described by Apple as being `` chemically strengthened to be 20 times stiffer and 30 times harder than plastic , '' theoretically allowing it to be more scratch resistant and durable than the prior models . In fall 2010 , pentalobe screws started to replace the Philips screws used in post-repair units in the US and in production units in Japan . Software ( edit ) See also : iOS , iOS 4 , iOS 5 , iOS 6 , and iOS 7 Further information : iOS version history The iPhone 4 shipped with iOS 4 , which was the newest version of Apple 's iOS mobile operating system at the time . iOS 4 introduced a multitasking system , allowing apps to remain `` suspended '' in memory , perform certain operations in the background , and allowing users to switch between apps using an on - screen menu . It also introduced FaceTime , which allows users to perform video calls between other iPhone , iPad , iPod Touch , and OS X users . The iPhone 4 supports up to iOS 7 , released in September 2013 . Due to the relatively aged hardware of the iPhone 4 , certain features available on newer iPhone models are not available on the device ; as of iOS 7 , they include Siri , 3D maps and turn - by - turn navigation , AirDrop , AirPlay mirroring , live camera filters , panorama mode and certain visual effects introduced by iOS 7 , such as the blurring of translucent interface elements , the parallax effect on the home screen , and live wallpapers . While still subject to the same limitations , iOS 7.1 did bring some slight performance improvements to the operating system on the iPhone 4 . iOS 7 , specifically iOS 7.1. 2 , is the last version of iOS to support the iPhone 4 . Unlike the iPhone 4s , the iPhone 4 did not receive the iOS 8 update . Accessories ( edit ) Bumper ( edit ) An iPhone 4 next to a Bumper . An iPhone 4 Bumper is a ring of rubber and plastic that surrounds the edge of the iPhone 4 , with the purpose of protecting the phone . The inner part is rubber with the external band made of plastic . The Bumper wraps around the edges of the device protecting the edges , and to a lesser extent , the screen . The Bumper does not cover the front or rear of the phone , though it does slightly raise the iPhone off whatever surface it is sitting on . Additionally , the plastic band houses metallic buttons for the volume controls and sleep / wake button . The six holes in the Bumper enable access to the mute switch , dock connector , headphone jack , speaker , and microphones . Apple updated the bumper with a wider volume switch hole with the release of iPhone 4 for CDMA network . The updated bumper is also compatible with iPhone 4S , the next generation iPhone that has the identical exterior design and measurements as iPhone 4 CDMA . Reception ( edit ) Pre-release ( edit ) Pre-release reception was generally positive . The announcement included information that had not been covered by Gizmodo . Fox News commented that `` seeing it in action is far more informative than staring at Gizmodo 's photos of a busted test unit '' . Rhodri Marsden of The Independent said that `` aside from the introduction of face - to - face video calling , it 's not a staggering feature set , '' instead focusing on how the device is `` more powerful than its predecessor , speedier , easier to use and will make previously laborious tasks seem like a cinch '' . CNET reacted to the announcement by explaining how it believes that iMovie for iOS was the `` most exciting part of this year 's WWDC Keynote '' . The article noted how the iPhone 4 , unlike current cameras , can record HD content and then edit it from the same device , labeling it a `` true mobile editing suite '' . Reviews ( edit ) Reviews of the iPhone 4 have been generally favorable . Walt Mossberg of The Wall Street Journal called the device `` the best device in its class '' . Engadget named it the `` best smartphone on the market '' in June 2010 . CNET gave the iPhone 4 a rating of 8.6 out of 10 , one of the highest ratings it has given any smartphone . TechRadar gave the device 4.5 / 5 stars . Consumer Reports said the signal problem was the reason they did not rate it a `` recommended '' model , although the other tests ranked it highest among smart phones . Joshua Topolsky of Engadget described the device 's industrial design as being `` more detailed and sophisticated '' than its predecessor . Technical problems ( edit ) Some users reported a yellow discoloration of the screen that disappeared after several days , which was attributed to the glass lamination glue that was used . It did not have time to dry fully before the unit reached consumers due to the speed of manufacturing . Another issue reported by some users within days of the iPhone 4 release was that during calls the proximity sensor can be insensitive , so that facial contact with the touchscreen can end calls , mute calls , and dial other numbers . Some users reported that , particularly in low - light conditions , photos taken on the iPhone 4 sometimes contained blue or green `` splotches . '' Issues with white balance were also discovered , particularly when using the flash . Antenna ( edit ) Shortly after the iPhone 4 was launched , some consumers reported that signal strength of the phone was reduced when touching the lower left edge of the phone , bridging one of the two locations which separates the two antennas , resulting in dropped calls in some areas with lower signal reception . In response , Apple issued a statement advising that customers should `` avoid gripping ( the phone ) in the lower left corner '' when making or receiving a call . As a consequence of this problem , it was reported on July 2 , 2010 that several iPhone 4 users were planning on suing Apple and AT&T for fraud by concealment , negligence , intentional misrepresentation and defective design . The legal challenge was started by a law firm , who set up a website to recruit disenchanted iPhone 4 buyers for a lawsuit against Apple . Later that day , Apple issued another statement stating that it had discovered the cause of the `` dramatic drop in bars '' . Apple explained how the formula it used to calculate the number of bars to display was `` wrong '' . Apple promised to correct the issue and release a software update within a few weeks that would address the `` mistake '' , which had been present since the original iPhone . The New York Times commented that `` the failure to detect this longstanding problem earlier is astonishing . '' Consumer Reports initially stated that the iPhone 4 's signal issues are not `` unique , and may not be serious '' and it continued to mention that signal loss is a problem that is faced by the entire smartphone industry . It has been such a problem that Apple made a formal apology . The next day , the magazine altered their stance after encountering instances of dropped calls . The magazine rejected Apple 's explanation after conducting tests in a controlled environment , and comparing the results against prior generations of iPhone . It sarcastically pointed out that using a piece of tape to cover the lower left antenna gap was one way to fix the problem , but recommended that consumers who `` want an iPhone that works well without a masking - tape fix '' purchase the iPhone 3GS instead . The magazine also tested the iPhone 4 while it was wearing a Bumper , a frame - like cover sold by Apple that prevents direct contact with the antenna , reporting that it did resolve the problem . CNN repeated Consumer Reports ' statement that a small amount of duct tape had proven an effective fix to the iPhone 4 's dropped call issue . On July 16 , 2010 , at a press conference , Steve Jobs announced that Apple would provide all iPhone 4 owners with a free case to help solve the antenna issue and a refund to those users who had already purchased a Bumper . The free case offer would be valid until September 30 , 2010 , when Apple would re-evaluate the situation . To get a free case , owners were able to apply via an app installed on the phone found in the App Store from July 22 , 2010 to September 30 , 2010 . Jobs also announced that Apple could not produce enough Bumpers for all owners of the phone , but would source a supply and offer a range of cases . Additionally , Jobs cited figures from AppleCare which showed that only 0.55 percent of all iPhone 4 users have complained to the company about the issue , while the number of phones returned to Apple was 1.7 percent -- 4.3 percentage points less than the number of iPhone 3GS models that were returned in the first month of the phone 's launch . Consumer Reports noted that the solution was not permanent , though a good first step . However , because Jobs did not specify a time line for fixing the problem , and the offering for a free bumper only being a temporary solution , PC World decided to remove the iPhone 4 from its `` Top 10 Cell Phones '' chart and reassign it to a pending rating . AnandTech researched iPhone 4 antenna and identified that its outer construction provides 5 -- 9 dB ( 6.9 -- 9 times ) better sensitivity comparing to common internal antenna design of iPhone 3GS ( the phone keeps working connection with signal as low as − 120 / 121 dB comparing to usual − 113 / 115 dB ) . Despite the negative media attention regarding the antenna issues , 72 % of iPhone 4 users say that they are `` very satisfied '' with their iPhone 4 according to an August 2010 survey by ChangeWave Research . The iPhone 4 model continued to be sold unchanged up until September 2013 . IPhones in Space ( edit ) In 2011 , two iPhone 4 units equipped with a special application were taken to the International Space Station aboard the Space Shuttle on the STS - 135 mission . The devices were used in various experiments , utilizing sensors and a special app .

Polyamide
Polyamide - wikipedia Polyamide Jump to : navigation , search A polyamide is a macromolecule with repeating units linked by amide bonds . Polyamides occur both naturally and artificially . Examples of naturally occurring polyamides are proteins , such as wool and silk . Artificially made polyamides can be made through step - growth polymerization or solid - phase synthesis yielding materials such as nylons , aramids , and sodium poly ( aspartate ) . Synthetic polyamides are commonly used in textiles , automotive applications , carpets and sportswear due to their high durability and strength . The transportation manufacturing industry is the major consumer , accounting for 35 % of polyamide ( PA ) consumption . Contents ( hide ) 1 Classification 2 Polymerization chemistry 3 See also 4 References 5 Further reading Classification ( edit ) Polymers of amino acids are known as polypeptides or proteins . According to the composition of their main chain , synthetic polyamides are classified as follows : Polyamide family Main chain Examples of polyamides Examples of commercial products Aliphatic polyamides Aliphatic Nylon PA 6 and PA 66 Zytel from DuPont , Technyl from Solvay , Rilsan and Rilsamid from Arkema , Radipol from Radici Group Polyphthalamides Semi-aromatic PA 6T = hexamethylenediamine + terephthalic acid Trogamid T from Evonik Industries , Amodel from Solvay Aramids = aromatic polyamides Aromatic Paraphenylenediamine + terephthalic acid Kevlar and Nomex from DuPont , Teijinconex , Twaron and Technora from Teijin , Kermel from Kermel . All polyamides are made by the formation of an amide function to link two molecules of monomer together . The monomers can be amides themselves ( usually in the form of a cyclic lactam such as caprolactam ) , α , ω - amino acids or a stoichiometric mixture of a diamine and a diacid . Both these kinds of precursors give a homopolymer . Polyamides are easily copolymerized , and thus many mixtures of monomers are possible which can in turn lead to many copolymers . Additionally many nylon polymers are miscible with one another allowing the creation of blends . Polymerization Chemistry ( edit ) Production of polymers requires the repeated joining of two groups to form an amide linkage . In this case this specifically involves amide bonds , and the two groups involved are an amine group , and a terminal carbonyl component of a functional group . These react to produce a carbon - nitrogen bond , creating a singular amide linkage . This process involves the elimination of other atoms previously part of the functional groups . The carbonyl - component may be part of either a carboxylic acid group or the more reactive acyl halide derivative . The amine group and the carboxylic acid group can be on the same monomer , or the polymer can be constituted of two different bifunctional monomers , one with two amine groups , the other with two carboxylic acid or acid chloride groups . The condensation reaction is used to synthetically produce nylon polymers in industry . Nylons must specifically include an straight chain ( aliphatic ) monomer . The amide link is produced from an amine group ( alternatively known as an amino group ) , and a carboxylic acid group . The hydroxyl from the carboxylic acid combines with a hydrogen from the amine , and gives rise to water , the elimination byproduct that is the namesake of the reaction . As an example of condensation reactions , consider that in living organisms , Amino acids are condensed with one another by an enzyme to form amide linkages ( known as peptides ) . The resulting polyamides are known as proteins or polypeptides . In the diagram below , consider the amino - acids as single aliphatic monomers reacting with identical molecules to form a polyamide , focusing on solely the amine and acid groups . Ignore the substituent R groups -- under the assumption the difference between the R groups are negligible : The reaction of two amino acids . Many of these reactions produce long chain proteins For fully aromatic polyamides or ' aramids ' e.g. Kevlar , the more reactive acyl chloride is used as a monomer . The polymerization reaction with the amine group eliminates hydrogen chloride . The acid chloride route can be used as a laboratory synthesis to avoid heating and obtain an almost instantaneous reaction . The aromatic moiety itself does not participate in elimination reaction , but it does increase the rigidity and strength of the resulting material which leads to Kevlar 's renowned strength . In the diagram below , Aramid is made from two different monomers which continuously alternate to form the polymer . Aramid is an aromatic polyamide : The reaction of 1 , 4 - phenyl - diamine ( para-phenylenediamine ) and terephthaloyl chloride to produce Aramid Polyamides can also be synthesized from dinitriles using acid catalysis via an application of the Ritter reaction . This method is applicable for preparation of nylon 1 , 6 from adiponitrile , formaldehyde and water . Additionally , polyamides can be synthesized from glycols and dinitriles using this method as well .

Mucus
Mucus - wikipedia Mucus Jump to : navigation , search For other uses , see Mucus ( disambiguation ) . Mucous cells of the stomach lining secrete mucus ( pink ) into the lumen Mucus ( / ˈmjuːkəs / MEW - kəss ) is a slippery aqueous secretion produced by , and covering , mucous membranes . It is typically produced from cells found in mucous glands , although it may also originate from mixed glands , which contain both serous and mucous cells . It is a viscous colloid containing inorganic salts , antiseptic enzymes ( such as lysozymes ) , immunoglobulins , and glycoproteins such as lactoferrin and mucins , which are produced by goblet cells in the mucous membranes and submucosal glands . Mucus serves to protect epithelial cells ( that line the tubes ) in the respiratory , gastrointestinal , urogenital , visual , and auditory systems ; the epidermis in amphibians ; and the gills in fish , against infectious agents such as fungi , bacteria and viruses . The average human nose produces about a liter of mucus per day . Most of the mucus produced is in the gastrointestinal tract . Bony fish , hagfish , snails , slugs , and some other invertebrates also produce external mucus . In addition to serving a protective function against infectious agents , such mucus provides protection against toxins produced by predators , can facilitate movement and may play a role in communication . Contents ( hide ) 1 Respiratory system 1.1 Diseases involving mucus 1.1. 1 Upper respiratory tract 1.1. 2 Lower respiratory tract 2 Digestive system 3 Properties of mucus 3.1 Tunable Swelling Capacity 3.1. 1 Polyelectrolyte Effect in Mucus 3.1. 2 Mechanism of pH - Tunable Swelling 3.2 Charge Selectivity 4 See also 5 Notes 6 References Respiratory system ( edit ) Illustration depicting the movement of mucus in the respiratory tract . In the human respiratory system , mucus , also known as airway surface liquid ( ASL ) , aids in the protection of the lungs by trapping foreign particles that enter them , in particular , through the nose , during normal breathing . Further distinction exists between the superficial and cell - lining layers of ASL , which are known as mucus layer ( ML ) and pericilliary liquid layer ( PCL ) , respectively . `` Phlegm '' is a specialized term for mucus that is restricted to the respiratory tract , whereas the term `` nasal mucus '' describes secretions of the nasal passages . Nasal mucus is produced by the nasal mucosa ; and mucus lining the airways ( trachea , bronchus , bronchioles ) is produced by specialized airway epithelial cells ( goblet cells ) and submucosal glands . Small particles such as dust , particulate pollutants , and allergens , as well as infectious agents and bacteria are caught in the viscous nasal or airway mucus and prevented from entering the system . This event along with the continual movement of the respiratory mucus layer toward the oropharynx , helps prevent foreign objects from entering the lungs during breathing . This explains why coughing often occurs in those who smoke cigarettes . The body 's natural reaction is to increase mucus production . In addition , mucus aids in moisturizing the inhaled air and prevents tissues such as the nasal and airway epithelia from drying out . Nasal and airway mucus is produced continuously , with most of it swallowed subconsciously , even when it is dried . Increased mucus production in the respiratory tract is a symptom of many common illnesses , such as the common cold and influenza . Hypersecretion of mucus can occur in inflammatory respiratory diseases such as respiratory allergies , asthma , and chronic bronchitis . The presence of mucus in the nose and throat is normal , but increased quantities can impede comfortable breathing and must be cleared by blowing the nose or expectorating phlegm from the throat . Diseases involving mucus ( edit ) In general , nasal mucus is clear and thin , serving to filter air during inhalation . During times of infection , mucus can change color to yellow or green either as a result of trapped bacteria or due to the body 's reaction to viral infection . The green color of mucus comes from the heme group in the iron - containing enzyme myeloperoxidase secreted by white blood cells as a cytotoxic defense during a respiratory burst . In the case of bacterial infection , the bacterium becomes trapped in already - clogged sinuses , breeding in the moist , nutrient - rich environment . Sinusitis is an uncomfortable condition which may include congestion of mucus . A bacterial infection in sinusitis will cause discolored mucus and would respond to antibiotic treatment ; viral infections typically resolve without treatment . Almost all sinusitis infections are viral and antibiotics are ineffective and not recommended for treating typical cases . In the case of a viral infection such as cold or flu , the first stage and also the last stage of the infection cause the production of a clear , thin mucus in the nose or back of the throat . As the body begins to react to the virus ( generally one to three days ) , mucus thickens and may turn yellow or green . Viral infections can not be treated with antibiotics , and are a major avenue for their misuse . Treatment is generally symptom - based ; often it is sufficient to allow the immune system to fight off the virus over time . Upper respiratory tract ( edit ) Main articles : rhinorrhea and post-nasal drip Increased mucus production in the upper respiratory tract is a symptom of many common ailments , such as the common cold . Nasal mucus may be removed by blowing the nose or by using nasal irrigation . Excess nasal mucus , as with a cold or allergies , due to vascular engorgement associated with vasodilation and increased capillary permeability caused by histamines , may be treated cautiously with decongestant medications . Thickening of mucus as a `` rebound '' effect following overuse of decongestants may produce nasal or sinus drainage problems and circumstances that promote infection . During cold , dry seasons , the mucus lining nasal passages tends to dry out , meaning that mucous membranes must work harder , producing more mucus to keep the cavity lined . As a result , the nasal cavity can fill up with mucus . At the same time , when air is exhaled , water vapor in breath condenses as the warm air meets the colder outside temperature near the nostrils . This causes an excess amount of water to build up inside nasal cavities . In these cases , the excess fluid usually spills out externally through the nostrils . Lower respiratory tract ( edit ) Excess mucus production in the bronchi and bronchioles , as may occur in asthma , bronchitis or influenza , results from chronic airway inflammation , and hence may be treated with anti-inflammatory medications . Impaired mucociliary clearance due to conditions such as primary ciliary dyskinesia may also result in its accumulation in the bronchi . The dysregulation of mucus homesotasis is the fundamental characteristic of cystic fibrosis , an inherited disease caused by mutations in the CFTR gene , which encodes a chloride channel . This defect leads to the altered electrolyte composition of mucus , which triggers its hyperabsorption and dehydration . Such low - volume , viscous , acidic mucus causes has a reduced antimicrobial function , which facilitates bacterial colonisation . The thinning of the mucus layer ultimately affects the PCL , which becomes dehydrated , compromising ciliary function and impairing mucociliary clearance . Digestive system ( edit ) Gastric glands are composed of epithelial cells ( A ) , chief cells ( C ) , and parietal cells ( B ) . The chief and parietal cells produce and secrete mucus ( D ) to protect the lining of the stomach ( F ) against the harsh pH of stomach acid . The mucus is basic , while the stomach acid ( E ) is acidic . In the human digestive system , mucus is used as a lubricant for materials that must pass over membranes , e.g. , food passing down the esophagus . Mucus is extremely important in the intestinal tract . It forms an essential layer in the colon and in the small intestine that helps reduce intestinal inflammation by decreasing bacterial interaction with intestinal epithelial cells . A layer of mucus along the inner walls of the stomach is vital to protect the cell linings of that organ from the highly acidic environment within it . Mucus is not digested in the intestinal tract . Mucus is also secreted from glands within the rectum due to stimulation of the mucous membrane within . Properties of mucus ( edit ) Tunable swelling capacity ( edit ) Mucus is able to absorb water or dehydrate through pH variations . The swelling capacity of mucus stems from the bottlebrush structure of mucin within which hydrophilic segments provide a large surface area for water absorption . Moreover , the tunability of swelling effect is controlled by polyelectrolyte effect . Polyelectrolyte effect in mucus ( edit ) Polymers with charged molecules are called polyelectrolytes . Mucins , a kind of polyelectrolyte proteoglycans , are the main component of mucus , which provides the polyelectrolyte effect in mucus . The process of inducing this effect comprises two steps : attraction of counter-ions and water compensation . When exposed in physiological ionic solution , the charged groups in the polyelectrolytes attract counter-ions with opposite charges , thereby leading to a solute concentration gradient . An osmotic pressure is introduced to equalize the concentration of solute throughout the system by driving water to flow from the low concentration areas to the high concentration areas . In short , the influx and outflux of water within mucus , managed by the polyelectrolyte effect , contribute to mucus ' tunable swelling capacity . Mechanism of pH - tunable swelling ( edit ) The ionic charges of mucin are mainly provided by acidic amino acids including aspartic acids ( pKa = 3.9 ) and glutamic acids ( pKa = 4.2 ) . The charges of acidic amino acids will change with environmental pH value due to acid dissociation and association . Aspartic acid , for example , has a negative side chain when the pH value is above 3.9 , while a neutrally charged side chain will be introduced as pH value drops below 3.9 . Thus , the number of negative charges in mucus is influenced by the pH value of surrounding environment . That is , the polyelectrolyte effect of mucus is largely affected by the pH value of solution due to the charge variation of acidic amino acid residues on the mucin backbone . For instance , the charged residue on mucin is protonated at a normal pH value of the stomach , approximately pH 2 . In this case , there is scarcely polyelectrolyte effect , thereby causing compact mucus with little swelling capacity . However , a kind of bacteria , Helicobacter pylori , is prone to producing base to elevate the pH value in stomach , leading to the deprotonation of aspartic acids and glutamic acids , i.e. , from neutral to negative - charged . The negative charges in the mucus greatly increase , thus inducing the polyeletrolyte effect and the swelling of the mucus . This swelling effect increases the pore size of the mucus and decreases mucus ' viscosity , which allows bacteria to penetrate and migrate into the mucus and cause disease . Charge selectivity ( edit ) The high selective permeability of mucus plays a crucial role in the healthy state of human beings by limiting the penetration of molecules , nutrients , pathogens , and drugs . The charge distribution within mucus serves as a charge selective diffusion barrier , thus significantly affecting the transportation of agents . Among particles with various surface zeta potentials , cationic particles tend to have a low depth of penetration , neutral ones possess medium penetration , and anionic ones have the largest penetration depth . Furthermore , the effect of charge selectivity changes when the status of the mucus varies , i.e. , native mucus has a threefold higher potential to limit agent penetration than purified mucus .

what role does mucus play in the respiratory system
[ "Mucus (/ˈmjuːkəs/ MEW-kəss) is a slippery aqueous secretion produced by, and covering, mucous membranes. It is typically produced from cells found in mucous glands, although it may also originate from mixed glands, which contain both serous and mucous cells. It is a viscous colloid containing inorganic salts, antiseptic enzymes (such as lysozymes), immunoglobulins, and glycoproteins such as lactoferrin[1] and mucins, which are produced by goblet cells in the mucous membranes and submucosal glands. Mucus serves to protect epithelial cells (that line the tubes) in the respiratory, gastrointestinal, urogenital, visual, and auditory systems; the epidermis in amphibians; and the gills in fish, against infectious agents such as fungi, bacteria and viruses. The average human nose produces about a liter of mucus per day.[2] Most of the mucus produced is in the gastrointestinal tract." ]

The philosophy of Confucius , also known as Confucianism , emphasized personal and governmental morality , correctness of social relationships , justice and sincerity . His followers competed successfully with many other schools during the Hundred Schools of Thought era only to be suppressed in favor of the Legalists during the Qin Dynasty . Following the victory of Han over Chu after the collapse of Qin , Confucius 's thoughts received official sanction and were further developed into a system known in the West as Neo-Confucianism , and later New Confucianism ( Modern Neo-Confucianism ) . Confucius is traditionally credited with having authored or edited many of the Chinese classic texts including all of the Five Classics , but modern scholars are cautious of attributing specific assertions to Confucius himself . Aphorisms concerning his teachings were compiled in the Analects , but only many years after his death . Confucius 's principles have commonality with Chinese tradition and belief . He championed strong family loyalty , ancestor veneration , and respect of elders by their children and of husbands by their wives , recommending family as a basis for ideal government . He espoused the well - known principle `` Do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself '' , the Golden Rule . He is also a traditional deity in Daoism . Throughout history , Confucius is widely considered as one of the most important and influential individuals in affecting the lives of humanity . His teaching and philosophy greatly impacted people around the world and still linger in today 's society .

He possessed two surnames , Zi ( 子 ) representing the main lineage of his ancestry and Kong ( 孔 ) representing his particular branch of the family . Use of his personal name was restricted to his elders ; contemporaries would have used his courtesy name Zhongni ( 仲 尼 , Zhòngní ) and his students and their Analects of his teachings usually address him as Zi ( 子 ) , a title unrelated to his surname and usually translated as `` Master '' . The same title is part of the Chinese names of Lao - tze and Mencius , as well as Confucius 's modern Chinese title Kongzi ( 孔子 , Kǒngzǐ , `` Master Kong '' ) . The English name `` Confucius '' is the latinization of the slightly more ornate title Kǒng Fūzǐ ( 孔 夫子 ) , meaning `` Grand Master Kong '' . The form became widespread in Europe from the Latin writings of the Jesuit missionaries to China , particularly those by and concerning Matteo Ricci . In imperial China , Confucius was accorded a number of posthumous names and titles . The first , bestowed in AD 1 , was the `` Laudably Declarable Lord Ni '' ( 褒 成 宣 尼 公 ) . He was declared the `` Extremely Sage Departed Teacher '' ( 至 聖 先 師 ) in 1530 . Informally , he was also known as `` The Great Sage '' ( 至 聖 ) , `` The First Teacher '' ( 先 師 ) , and `` The Model Teacher for the Myriad Ages '' ( 萬 世 師 表 ) . Life Early life Lu can be seen in China 's northeast . Further information : Family tree of Confucius in the main line of descent It is thought that Confucius was born on September 28 , 551 BC , in the district of Zou ( 鄒 邑 ) near present - day Qufu , China . The area was notionally controlled by the kings of Zhou but effectively independent under the local lords of Lu . His father Kong He ( 孔 紇 ) or Shuliang He ( 叔 梁 紇 ) was an elderly commandant of the local Lu garrison . His ancestry traced back through the dukes of Song to the Shang dynasty which had preceded the Zhou . Traditional accounts of Confucius 's life relate that Kong He 's grandfather had migrated the family from Song to Lu . Kong He died when Confucius was three years old , and Confucius was raised by his mother Yan Zhengzai ( 顏 徵 在 ) in poverty . His mother would later die at less than 40 years of age . At age 19 he married Qiguan ( 亓 官 ) , and a year later the couple had their first child , Kong Li ( 孔 鯉 ) . Qiguan and Confucius would later have two daughters together , one of whom is thought to have died as a child . Confucius was educated at schools for commoners , where he studied and learned the Six Arts . Confucius was born into the class of shi ( 士 ) , between the aristocracy and the common people . He is said to have worked in various government jobs during his early 20s , and as a bookkeeper and a caretaker of sheep and horses , using the proceeds to give his mother a proper burial . When his mother died , Confucius ( aged 23 ) is said to have mourned for three years , as was the tradition . Political career A Western Han ( 202 BC - 9 AD ) fresco depicting Confucius ( and Laozi ) , from a tomb of Dongping County , Shandong province , China In Confucius 's time , the state of Lu was headed by a ruling ducal house . Under the duke were three aristocratic families , whose heads bore the title of viscount and held hereditary positions in the Lu bureaucracy . The Ji family held the position `` Minister over the Masses '' , who was also the `` Prime Minister '' ; the Meng family held the position `` Minister of Works '' ; and the Shu family held the position `` Minister of War '' . In the winter of 505 BC , Yang Hu -- a retainer of the Ji family -- rose up in rebellion and seized power from the Ji family . However , by the summer of 501 BC , the three hereditary families had succeeded in expelling Yang Hu from Lu . By then , Confucius had built up a considerable reputation through his teachings , while the families came to see the value of proper conduct and righteousness , so they could achieve loyalty to a legitimate government . Thus , that year ( 501 BC ) , Confucius came to be appointed to the minor position of governor of a town . Eventually , he rose to the position of Minister of Crime . Confucius desired to return the authority of the state to the duke by dismantling the fortifications of the city -- strongholds belonging to the three families . This way , he could establish a centralized government . However , Confucius relied solely on diplomacy as he had no military authority himself . In 500 BC , Hou Fan -- the governor of Hou -- revolted against his lord of the Shu family . Although the Meng and Shu families unsuccessfully besieged Hou , a loyalist official rose up with the people of Hou and forced Hou Fan to flee to the Qi state . The situation may have been in favor for Confucius as this likely made it possible for Confucius and his disciples to convince the aristocratic families to dismantle the fortifications of their cities . Eventually , after a year and a half , Confucius and his disciples succeeded in convincing the Shu family to raze the walls of Hou , the Ji family in razing the walls of Bi , and the Meng family in razing the walls of Cheng . First , the Shu family led an army towards their city Hou and tore down its walls in 498 BC . Soon thereafter , Gongshan Furao or Buniu , a retainer of the Ji family , revolted and took control of the forces at Bi . He immediately launched an attack and entered the capital Lu . Earlier , Gongshan had approached Confucius to join him , which Confucius considered . Even though he disapproved the use of a violent revolution , the Ji family dominated the Lu state force for generations and had exiled the previous duke . Although he wanted the opportunity to put his principles into practice , Confucius gave up on this idea in the end . Creel ( 1949 ) states that , unlike the rebel Yang Hu before him , Gongshan may have sought to destroy the three hereditary families and restore the power of the duke . However , Dubs ( 1946 ) is of the view that Gongshan was encouraged by Viscount Ji Huan to invade the Lu capital in an attempt to avoid dismantling the Bi fortified walls . Whatever the situation may have been , Gongshan was considered an upright man who continued to defend the state of Lu , even after he was forced to flee . During the revolt by Gongshan , Zhong You ( 仲 由 ) had managed to keep the duke and the three viscounts together at the court . Zhong You was one of the disciples of Confucius and Confucius had arranged for him to be given the position of governor by the Ji family . When Confucius heard of the raid , he requested that Viscount Ji Huan allow the duke and his court to retreat to a stronghold on his palace grounds . Thereafter , the heads of the three families and the duke retreated to the Ji 's palace complex and ascended the Wuzi Terrace . Confucius ordered two officers to lead an assault against the rebels . At least one of the two officers was a retainer of the Ji family , but they were unable to refuse the orders while in the presence of the duke , viscounts , and court . The rebels were pursued and defeated at Gu . Immediately after the revolt was defeated , the Ji family razed the Bi city walls to the ground . The attackers retreated after realizing that they would have to become rebels against the state and their lord . Through Confucius 's actions , the Bi officials had inadvertently revolted against their own lord , thus forcing Viscount Ji Huan 's hand in having to dismantle the walls of Bi ( as it could have harbored such rebels ) or confess to instigating the event by going against proper conduct and righteousness as an official . Dubs ( 1949 ) suggests that the incident brought to light Confucius 's foresight , practical political ability , and insight into human character . When it was time to dismantle the city walls of the Meng family , the governor was reluctant to have his city walls torn down and convinced the head of the Meng family not to do so . The Zuo Zhuan recalls that the governor advised against razing the walls to the ground as he said that it made Cheng vulnerable to the Qi state and cause the destruction of the Meng family . Even though Viscount Meng Yi gave his word not to interfere with an attempt , he went back on his earlier promise to dismantle the walls . Later in 498 BC , Duke Ding personally went with an army to lay siege to Cheng in an attempt to raze its walls to the ground , but he did not succeed . Thus , Confucius could not achieve the idealistic reforms that he wanted including restoration of the legitimate rule of the duke . He had made powerful enemies within the state , especially with Viscount Ji Huan , due to his successes so far . According to accounts in the Zuo Zhuan and Shiji , Confucius departed his homeland in 497 BC after his support for the failed attempt of dismantling the fortified city walls of the powerful Ji , Meng , and Shu families . He left the state of Lu without resigning , remaining in self - exile and unable to return as long as Viscount Ji Huan was alive . Exile This section does not cite any sources .

The Shiji stated that the neighboring Qi state was worried that Lu was becoming too powerful while Confucius was involved in the government of the Lu state . According to this account , Qi decided to sabotage Lu 's reforms by sending 100 good horses and 80 beautiful dancing girls to the duke of Lu . The duke indulged himself in pleasure and did not attend to official duties for three days . Confucius was disappointed and resolved to leave Lu and seek better opportunities , yet to leave at once would expose the misbehavior of the duke and therefore bring public humiliation to the ruler Confucius was serving . Confucius therefore waited for the duke to make a lesser mistake . Soon after , the duke neglected to send to Confucius a portion of the sacrificial meat that was his due according to custom , and Confucius seized upon this pretext to leave both his post and the Lu state . After Confucius 's resignation , he began a long journey or set of journeys around the principality states of north - east and central China including Wey , Song , Zheng , Cao , Chu , Qi , Chen , and Cai ( and a failed attempt to go to Jin ) . At the courts of these states , he expounded his political beliefs but did not see them implemented . Return home Tomb of Confucius in Kong Lin cemetery , Qufu , Shandong Province According to the Zuo Zhuan , Confucius returned home to his native Lu when he was 68 , after he was invited to do so by Ji Kangzi , the chief minister of Lu . The Analects depict him spending his last years teaching 72 or 77 disciples and transmitting the old wisdom via a set of texts called the Five Classics . During his return , Confucius sometimes acted as an advisor to several government officials in Lu , including Ji Kangzi , on matters including governance and crime . Burdened by the loss of both his son and his favorite disciples , he died at the age of 71 or 72 . He died from natural causes . Confucius was buried in Kong Lin cemetery which lies in the historical part of Qufu in the Shandong Province . The original tomb erected there in memory of Confucius on the bank of the Sishui River had the shape of an axe . In addition , it has a raised brick platform at the front of the memorial for offerings such as sandalwood incense and fruit . Philosophy Main article : Confucianism The Dacheng Hall , the main hall of the Temple of Confucius in Qufu Although Confucianism is often followed in a religious manner by the Chinese , many argue that its values are secular and that it is , therefore , less a religion than a secular morality . Proponents argue , however , that despite the secular nature of Confucianism 's teachings , it is based on a worldview that is religious . Confucianism discusses elements of the afterlife and views concerning Heaven , but it is relatively unconcerned with some spiritual matters often considered essential to religious thought , such as the nature of souls . However , Confucius is said to have believed in astrology , saying : `` Heaven sends down its good or evil symbols and wise men act accordingly '' . The Analects of Confucius In the Analects , Confucius presents himself as a `` transmitter who invented nothing '' . He puts the greatest emphasis on the importance of study , and it is the Chinese character for study ( 學 ) that opens the text . Far from trying to build a systematic or formalist theory , he wanted his disciples to master and internalize older classics , so that their deep thought and thorough study would allow them to relate the moral problems of the present to past political events ( as recorded in the Annals ) or the past expressions of commoners ' feelings and noblemen 's reflections ( as in the poems of the Book of Odes ) . Ethics One of the deepest teachings of Confucius may have been the superiority of personal exemplification over explicit rules of behavior . His moral teachings emphasized self - cultivation , emulation of moral exemplars , and the attainment of skilled judgment rather than knowledge of rules . Confucian ethics may , therefore , be considered a type of virtue ethics . His teachings rarely rely on reasoned argument , and ethical ideals and methods are conveyed indirectly , through allusion , innuendo , and even tautology . His teachings require examination and context to be understood . A good example is found in this famous anecdote : 廄 焚. 子 退 朝 , 曰 : `` 傷 人 乎 ? '' 不問 馬 . When the stables were burnt down , on returning from court Confucius said , `` Was anyone hurt ? '' He did not ask about the horses . Analects X. 11 ( tr . Waley ) , 10 -- 13 ( tr . Legge ) , or X-17 ( tr . Lau ) By not asking about the horses , Confucius demonstrates that the sage values human beings over property ; readers are led to reflect on whether their response would follow Confucius 's and to pursue self - improvement if it would not have . Confucius , as an exemplar of human excellence , serves not as an all - powerful deity or a universally true set of abstract principles , but rather the ultimate model for others . For these reasons , according to many commentators , Confucius 's teachings may be considered a Chinese example of humanism . One of his teachings was a variant of the Golden Rule , sometimes called the `` Silver Rule '' owing to its negative form : 己 所 不 欲 , 勿 施 於 人 . `` What you do not wish for yourself , do not do to others . '' 子 貢 問 曰 : `` 有一 言 而 可以 終身 行 之 者 乎 ? '' 子 曰 : `` 其 恕 乎 ! 己 所 不 欲 、 勿 施 於 人 . '' Zi Gong ( a disciple ) asked : `` Is there any one word that could guide a person throughout life ? '' The Master replied : `` How about ' reciprocity ' ! Never impose on others what you would not choose for yourself . '' Analects XV. 24 , tr . David Hinton Often overlooked in Confucian ethics are the virtues to the self : sincerity and the cultivation of knowledge . Virtuous action towards others begins with virtuous and sincere thought , which begins with knowledge . A virtuous disposition without knowledge is susceptible to corruption , and virtuous action without sincerity is not true righteousness . Cultivating knowledge and sincerity is also important for one 's own sake ; the superior person loves learning for the sake of learning and righteousness for the sake of righteousness . The Confucian theory of ethics as exemplified in lǐ ( 禮 ) is based on three important conceptual aspects of life : ( a ) ceremonies associated with sacrifice to ancestors and deities of various types , ( b ) social and political institutions , and ( c ) the etiquette of daily behavior . It was believed by some that lǐ originated from the heavens , but Confucius stressed the development of lǐ through the actions of sage leaders in human history . His discussions of lǐ seem to redefine the term to refer to all actions committed by a person to build the ideal society , rather than those simply conforming with canonical standards of ceremony . In the early Confucian tradition , lǐ was doing the proper thing at the proper time , balancing between maintaining existing norms to perpetuate an ethical social fabric , and violating them in order to accomplish ethical good . Training in the lǐ of past sages cultivates in people virtues that include ethical judgment about when lǐ must be adapted in light of situational contexts . In Confucianism , the concept of li is closely related to yì ( 義 ) , which is based upon the idea of reciprocity . Yì can be translated as righteousness , though it may simply mean what is ethically best to do in a certain context . The term contrasts with action done out of self - interest . While pursuing one 's own self - interest is not necessarily bad , one would be a better , more righteous person if one 's life was based upon following a path designed to enhance the greater good . Thus an outcome of yì is doing the right thing for the right reason . Just as action according to lǐ should be adapted to conform to the aspiration of adhering to yì , so yì is linked to the core value of rén ( 仁 ). Rén consists of 5 basic virtues : seriousness , generosity , sincerity , diligence and kindness . Rén is the virtue of perfectly fulfilling one 's responsibilities toward others , most often translated as `` benevolence '' or `` humaneness '' ; translator Arthur Waley calls it `` Goodness '' ( with a capital G ) , and other translations that have been put forth include `` authoritativeness '' and `` selflessness . '' Confucius 's moral system was based upon empathy and understanding others , rather than divinely ordained rules . To develop one 's spontaneous responses of rén so that these could guide action intuitively was even better than living by the rules of yì . Confucius asserts that virtue is a mean between extremes . For example , the properly generous person gives the right amount -- not too much and not too little . Politics Confucius 's political thought is based upon his ethical thought . He argued that the best government is one that rules through `` rites '' ( lǐ ) and people 's natural morality , and not by using bribery and coercion . He explained that this is one of the most important analects : `` If the people be led by laws , and uniformity sought to be given them by punishments , they will try to avoid the punishment , but have no sense of shame . If they be led by virtue , and uniformity sought to be given them by the rules of propriety , they will have the sense of the shame , and moreover will become good . '' ( Translated by James Legge ) in the Great Learning ( 大學 ) . This `` sense of shame '' is an internalisation of duty , where the punishment precedes the evil action , instead of following it in the form of laws as in Legalism . Confucius looked nostalgically upon earlier days , and urged the Chinese , particularly those with political power , to model themselves on earlier examples . In times of division , chaos , and endless wars between feudal states , he wanted to restore the Mandate of Heaven ( 天命 ) that could unify the `` world '' ( 天下 , `` all under Heaven '' ) and bestow peace and prosperity on the people . Because his vision of personal and social perfections was framed as a revival of the ordered society of earlier times , Confucius is often considered a great proponent of conservatism , but a closer look at what he proposes often shows that he used ( and perhaps twisted ) past institutions and rites to push a new political agenda of his own : a revival of a unified royal state , whose rulers would succeed to power on the basis of their moral merits instead of lineage . These would be rulers devoted to their people , striving for personal and social perfection , and such a ruler would spread his own virtues to the people instead of imposing proper behavior with laws and rules . Confucius did not believe in the concept of `` democracy '' , which is itself an Athenian concept unknown in ancient China , but could be interpreted by Confucius 's principles recommending against individuals electing their own political leaders to govern them , or that anyone is capable of self - government . He expressed fears that the masses lacked the intellect to make decisions for themselves , and that , in his view , since not everyone is created equal , not everyone has a right of self - government . While he supported the idea of government ruling by a virtuous king , his ideas contained a number of elements to limit the power of rulers . He argued for representing truth in language , and honesty was of paramount importance . Even in facial expression , truth must always be represented . Confucius believed that if a ruler is to lead correctly , by action , that orders would be unnecessary in that others will follow the proper actions of their ruler . In discussing the relationship between a king and his subject ( or a father and his son ) , he underlined the need to give due respect to superiors . This demanded that the subordinates must advise their superiors if the superiors are considered to be taking a course of action that is wrong . Confucius believed in ruling by example , if you lead correctly , orders by force or punishment are not necessary . Legacy This section does not cite any sources .

( September 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Confucius 's teachings were later turned into an elaborate set of rules and practices by his numerous disciples and followers , who organized his teachings into the Analects . Confucius 's disciples and his only grandson , Zisi , continued his philosophical school after his death . These efforts spread Confucian ideals to students who then became officials in many of the royal courts in China , thereby giving Confucianism the first wide - scale test of its dogma . Two of Confucius 's most famous later followers emphasized radically different aspects of his teachings . In the centuries after his death , Mencius ( 孟子 ) and Xun Zi ( 荀子 ) both composed important teachings elaborating in different ways on the fundamental ideas associated with Confucius . Mencius ( 4th century BC ) articulated the innate goodness in human beings as a source of the ethical intuitions that guide people towards rén , yì , and lǐ , while Xun Zi ( 3rd century BC ) underscored the realistic and materialistic aspects of Confucian thought , stressing that morality was inculcated in society through tradition and in individuals through training . In time , their writings , together with the Analects and other core texts came to constitute the philosophical corpus of Confucianism . This realignment in Confucian thought was parallel to the development of Legalism , which saw filial piety as self - interest and not a useful tool for a ruler to create an effective state . A disagreement between these two political philosophies came to a head in 223 BC when the Qin state conquered all of China . Li Si , Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty , convinced Qin Shi Huang to abandon the Confucians ' recommendation of awarding fiefs akin to the Zhou Dynasty before them which he saw as being against to the Legalist idea of centralizing the state around the ruler . When the Confucian advisers pressed their point , Li Si had many Confucian scholars killed and their books burned -- considered a huge blow to the philosophy and Chinese scholarship . Under the succeeding Han Dynasty and Tang dynasty , Confucian ideas gained even more widespread prominence . Under Wudi , the works of Confucius were made the official imperial philosophy and required reading for civil service examinations in 140 BC which was continued nearly unbroken until the end of the 19th century . As Mohism lost support by the time of the Han , the main philosophical contenders were Legalism , which Confucian thought somewhat absorbed , the teachings of Laozi , whose focus on more spiritual ideas kept it from direct conflict with Confucianism , and the new Buddhist religion , which gained acceptance during the Southern and Northern Dynasties era . Both Confucian ideas and Confucian - trained officials were relied upon in the Ming Dynasty and even the Yuan Dynasty , although Kublai Khan distrusted handing over provincial control to them . During the Song dynasty , the scholar Zhu Xi ( AD 1130 -- 1200 ) added ideas from Daoism and Buddhism into Confucianism . In his life , Zhu Xi was largely ignored , but not long after his death , his ideas became the new orthodox view of what Confucian texts actually meant . Modern historians view Zhu Xi as having created something rather different and call his way of thinking Neo-Confucianism . Neo-Confucianism held sway in China , Japan , Korea , and Vietnam until the 19th century . Life and Works of Confucius by Prospero Intorcetta , 1687 . The works of Confucius were translated into European languages through the agency of Jesuit scholars stationed in China . The first was Michele Ruggieri who had returned from China to Italy in 1588 , and carried on translating in Latin Chinese classics , while residing in Salerno . Matteo Ricci started to report on the thoughts of Confucius , and father Prospero Intorcetta published the life and works of Confucius into Latin in 1687 . It is thought that such works had considerable importance on European thinkers of the period , particularly among the Deists and other philosophical groups of the Enlightenment who were interested by the integration of the system of morality of Confucius into Western civilization . In the modern era Confucian movements , such as New Confucianism , still exist , but during the Cultural Revolution , Confucianism was frequently attacked by leading figures in the Communist Party of China . This was partially a continuation of the condemnations of Confucianism by intellectuals and activists in the early 20th century as a cause of the ethnocentric close - mindedness and refusal of the Qing Dynasty to modernize that led to the tragedies that befell China in the 19th century . Confucius 's works are studied by scholars in many other Asian countries , particularly those in the Chinese cultural sphere , such as Korea , Japan , and Vietnam . Many of those countries still hold the traditional memorial ceremony every year . The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community believes Confucius was a Divine Prophet of God , as were Lao - Tzu and other eminent Chinese personages . In modern times , Asteroid 7853 , `` Confucius '' , was named after the Chinese thinker . Disciples Main article : Disciples of Confucius There is not much known of Confucius 's disciples , and a little over half of them had their surnames recorded in the Zuo Zhuan . The Analects records 22 names that are most likely Confucius 's disciples , while the Mencius records 24 names , although it is quite certain that there have been many more disciples whose name were not recorded . Most of Confucius 's disciples were from the Lu state , while others were from neighboring states . For example , Zigong was from the Wey state , and Sima Niu was from the Song state . Confucius 's favorite disciple was Yan Hui , most probably one of the most impoverished of them all . Sima Niu , in contrast to Yan Hui , was from a hereditary noble family hailing from the Song state . Under Confucius 's teachings , the disciples became well - learned in the principles and methods of government . He often engaged in discussion and debate with his students and gave high importance to their studies in history , poetry , and ritual . Confucius advocated loyalty to principle rather than to individual acumen , in which reform was to be achieved by persuasion rather than violence . Even though Confucius denounced them for their practices , the aristocracy was likely attracted to the idea of having trustworthy officials who were studied in morals as the circumstances of the time made it desirable . In fact , the disciple Zilu even died defending his ruler in Wei . Yang Hu , who was a subordinate of the Ji family , had dominated the Lu government from 505 to 502 and even attempted a coup , which narrowly failed . As a likely consequence , it was after that that the first disciples of Confucius were appointed to government positions . A few of Confucius 's disciples went on to attain official positions of some importance , some of which were arranged by Confucius . By the time Confucius was 50 years old , the Ji family had consolidated their power in the Lu state over the ruling ducal house . Even though the Ji family had practices with which Confucius disagreed and disapproved , they nonetheless gave Confucius 's disciples many opportunities for employment . Confucius continued to remind his disciples to stay true to their principles and renounced those who did not , all the while being openly critical of the Ji family . Visual portraits No contemporary painting or sculpture of Confucius survives , and it was only during the Han Dynasty that he was portrayed visually . Carvings often depict his legendary meeting with Laozi . Since that time there have been many portraits of Confucius as the ideal philosopher . The oldest known portrait of Confucius has been unearthed in the tomb of the Han dynasty ruler Marquis of Haihun ( died 59 BC ) . The picture was painted on the wooden frame to a polished bronze mirror . In former times , it was customary to have a portrait in Confucius Temples ; however , during the reign of Hongwu Emperor ( Taizu ) of the Ming dynasty , it was decided that the only proper portrait of Confucius should be in the temple in his home town , Qufu in Shandong . In other temples , Confucius is represented by a memorial tablet . In 2006 , the China Confucius Foundation commissioned a standard portrait of Confucius based on the Tang dynasty portrait by Wu Daozi . Memorials First entrace gate of the Temple of Confucius in Zhenhai Soon after Confucius 's death , Qufu , his home town , became a place of devotion and remembrance . The Han dynasty Records of the Grand Historian records that it had already become a place of pilgrimage for ministers . It is still a major destination for cultural tourism , and many people visit his grave and the surrounding temples . In pan-China cultures , there are many temples where representations of the Buddha , Laozi , and Confucius are found together . There are also many temples dedicated to him , which have been used for Confucian ceremonies . The Chinese have a tradition of holding spectacular memorial ceremonies of Confucius ( 祭 孔 ) every year , using ceremonies that supposedly derived from Zhou Li ( 周 禮 ) as recorded by Confucius , on the date of Confucius 's birth . This tradition was interrupted for several decades in mainland China , where the official stance of the Communist Party and the State was that Confucius and Confucianism represented reactionary feudalist beliefs which held that the subservience of the people to the aristocracy is a part of the natural order . All such ceremonies and rites were therefore banned . Only after the 1990s did the ceremony resume . As it is now considered a veneration of Chinese history and tradition , even Communist Party members may be found in attendance . In Taiwan , where the Nationalist Party ( Kuomintang ) strongly promoted Confucian beliefs in ethics and behavior , the tradition of the memorial ceremony of Confucius ( 祭 孔 ) is supported by the government and has continued without interruption . While not a national holiday , it does appear on all printed calendars , much as Father 's Day does in the West . In South Korea , a grand - scale memorial ceremony called Seokjeon Daeje is held twice a year on Confucius 's birthday and the anniversary of his death , at Confucian academies across the country and Sungkyunkwan in Seoul . Descendants See also : Family tree of Confucius in the main line of descent Confucius 's descendants were repeatedly identified and honored by successive imperial governments with titles of nobility and official posts . They were honored with the rank of a marquis thirty - five times since Gaozu of the Han Dynasty , and they were promoted to the rank of duke forty - two times from the Tang dynasty to the Qing Dynasty . Emperor Xuanzong of Tang first bestowed the title of `` Duke Wenxuan '' on Kong Suizhi of the 35th generation . In 1055 , Emperor Renzong of Song first bestowed the title of `` Duke Yansheng '' on Kong Zongyuan of the 46th generation . During the Southern Song dynasty , the Duke Yansheng Kong Duanyou fled south with the Song Emperor to Quzhou in Zhejiang , while the newly established Jin dynasty ( 1115 -- 1234 ) in the north appointed Kong Duanyou 's brother Kong Duancao who remained in Qufu as Duke Yansheng . From that time up until the Yuan dynasty , there were two Duke Yanshengs , one in the north in Qufu and the other in the south at Quzhou . An invitation to come back to Qufu was extended to the southern Duke Yansheng Kong Zhu by the Yuan dynasty Emperor Kublai Khan . The title was taken away from the southern branch after Kong Zhu rejected the invitation , so the northern branch of the family kept the title of Duke Yansheng . The southern branch remained in Quzhou where they live to this day . Confucius 's descendants in Quzhou alone number 30,000 . The Hanlin Academy rank of Wujing boshi 五經 博士 was awarded to the southern branch at Quzhou by a Ming Emperor while the northern branch at Qufu held the title Duke Yansheng . The leader of the southern branch is 孔祥楷 Kong Xiangkai . During the Yuan dynasty , one of Confucius 's descendants , who was one of the Duke Yansheng Kong Huan 's 孔 浣 sons , named Kong Shao 孔 紹 , moved from China to Goryeo era Korea and established a branch of the family there after wedding a Korean woman ( Jo Jin - gyeong 's 曹晉慶 daughter ) during Toghon Temür 's rule . This branch of the family received aristocratic rank in Joseon era Korea . 曲阜 孔 氏 ( 朝鲜 半岛 ) 곡부 공씨 Despite repeated dynastic change in China , the title of Duke Yansheng was bestowed upon successive generations of descendants until it was abolished by the Nationalist Government in 1935 . The last holder of the title , Kung Te - cheng of the 77th generation , was appointed Sacrificial Official to Confucius . Kung Te - cheng died in October 2008 , and his son , Kung Wei - yi , the 78th lineal descendant , had died in 1989 . Kung Te - cheng 's grandson , Kung Tsui - chang , the 79th lineal descendant , was born in 1975 ; his great - grandson , Kung Yu - jen , the 80th lineal descendant , was born in Taipei on January 1 , 2006 . Te - cheng 's sister , Kong Demao , lives in mainland China and has written a book about her experiences growing up at the family estate in Qufu . Another sister , Kong Deqi , died as a young woman . Many descendants of Confucius still live in Qufu today . A descendant of Confucius , H.H. Kung was the Premier of the Republic of China . One of his sons , Kong Lingjie 孔令傑 married Debra Paget who gave birth to Gregory Kung ( 孔德基 ) . Confucius 's family , the Kongs , have the longest recorded extant pedigree in the world today . The father - to - son family tree , now in its 83rd generation , has been recorded since the death of Confucius . According to the Confucius Genealogy Compilation Committee , he has 2 million known and registered descendants , and there are an estimated 3 million in all . Of these , several tens of thousands live outside of China . In the 14th century , a Kong descendant went to Korea , where an estimated 34,000 descendants of Confucius live today . One of the main lineages fled from the Kong ancestral home in Qufu during the Chinese Civil War in the 1940s and eventually settled in Taiwan . There are also branches of the Kong family who have converted to Islam after marrying Muslim women , in Dachuan in Gansu province in the 1800s , and in 1715 in Xuanwei city in Yunnan province . Many of the Muslim Confucius descendants are descended from the marriage of Ma Jiaga ( 马甲 尕 ) , a Muslim woman , and Kong Yanrong ( 孔 彦 嵘 ) , 59th generation descendant of Confucius in the year 1480 and are found among the Hui and Dongxiang peoples . The new genealogy includes the Muslims . Kong Dejun ( 孔 德軍 ) is a prominent Islamic scholar and Arabist from Qinghai province and a 77th generation descendant of Confucius . Because of the huge interest in the Confucius family tree , there was a project in China to test the DNA of known family members of the collateral branches in mainland China . Among other things , this would allow scientists to identify a common Y chromosome in male descendants of Confucius . If the descent were truly unbroken , father - to - son , since Confucius 's lifetime , the males in the family would all have the same Y chromosome as their direct male ancestor , with slight mutations due to the passage of time . The aim of the genetic test was the help members of collateral branches in China who lost their genealogical records to prove their descent . However , in 2009 , many of the collateral branches decided not to agree to DNA testing . Bryan Sykes , professor of genetics at Oxford University , understands this decision : `` The Confucius family tree has an enormous cultural significance , '' he said . `` It 's not just a scientific question . '' The DNA testing was originally proposed to add new members , many of whose family record books were lost during 20th - century upheavals , to the Confucian family tree . The main branch of the family which fled to Taiwan was never involved in the proposed DNA test at all . In 2013 a DNA test performed on multiple different families who claimed descent from Confucius found that they shared the same Y chromosome as reported by Fudan University . The fifth and most recent edition of the Confucius genealogy was printed by the Confucius Genealogy Compilation Committee ( CGCC ) . It was unveiled in a ceremony at Qufu on September 24 , 2009 . Women are now included for the first time . There is also a `` Sacrificial Official to Mencius '' for a descendant of Mencius , a `` Sacrificial Official to Zengzi '' for a descendant of Zengzi , and a `` Sacrificial Official to Yan Hui '' for a descendant of Yan Hui . The descendants of Confucius still use generation poems for their names given to them by the Ming dynasty and Qing dynasty Emperors along with the descendants of the other Four Sages 四 氏 , Mencius , Zengzi , and Yan Hui . Also , Confucius is the founder of one of the Korean clan , Qufu Kong clan . References Citations Jump up ^ `` Confucius '' .

chinese idea that expressed the right to govern
[ "The philosophy of Confucius, also known as Confucianism, emphasized personal and governmental morality, correctness of social relationships, justice and sincerity. His followers competed successfully with many other schools during the Hundred Schools of Thought era only to be suppressed in favor of the Legalists during the Qin Dynasty. Following the victory of Han over Chu after the collapse of Qin, Confucius's thoughts received official sanction and were further developed into a system known in the West as Neo-Confucianism, and later New Confucianism (Modern Neo-Confucianism)." ]

Retarders serve to slow vehicles , or maintain a steady speed while traveling down a hill , and help prevent the vehicle from `` running away '' by accelerating down the hill . They are not usually capable of bringing vehicles to a standstill , as their effectiveness diminishes as vehicle speed lowers . They are usually used as an additional `` assistance '' to slow vehicles , with the final braking done by a conventional friction braking system . As the friction brake will be used less , particularly at higher speeds , their service life is increased , and since in those vehicles the brakes are air - actuated helps to conserve air pressure too . Friction - based braking systems are susceptible to `` brake fade '' when used extensively for continuous periods , which can be dangerous if braking performance drops below what is required to stop the vehicle -- for instance if a truck or bus is descending a long decline . For this reason , such heavy vehicles are frequently fitted with a supplementary system that is not friction - based . Retarders are not restricted to road motor vehicles , but may also be used in railway systems . The British prototype Advanced Passenger Train ( APT ) used hydraulic retarders to allow the high - speed train to stop in the same distance as standard lower speed trains , as a pure friction - based system was not viable . Contents ( hide ) 1 Engine brake 1.1 Diesel powered vehicles 1.2 Exhaust brake 2 Hydraulic retarder 3 Electric retarder 4 See also 5 References 6 External links Engine brake ( edit ) Main article : Engine braking Diesel powered vehicles ( edit ) Diesel engine vehicles do not have a throttle . Diesel engines regulate power output purely by the volume and timing of fuel injected into the combustion chambers . The engine braking generated by creating partial vacuum with a closed throttle at each intake stroke in petrol / gasoline engines does not apply to diesel engined vehicles -- diesel engines are quite `` free - running '' . However Clessie L. Cummins , founder of Cummins Engine Company , realized that by opening the cylinder exhaust valves when the piston reached top dead centre , rather than at the end of the power stroke , the accumulated compressed air in the cylinder could be vented before it could act as a `` spring '' to drive the piston back down again . By doing this , the engine acts as an air compressor , with the energy coming from the transmission used to compress the air , hence slowing the vehicle . The amount of power extracted from the transmission can be up to 90 % of the rated power of the engine for certain engines . In a compression release engine braking system for a turbocharged internal combustion engine , excessive stress associated with opening the exhaust valves of the engine near top dead center of engine compression strokes when the engine is turning at high speed is prevented by reducing the intake manifold pressure from what it otherwise would be at that high speed . This is done by retarding the turbocharger so that its speed is less than it otherwise would be at high engine speed . This type of retarder is known as Jake brake or compression release brake . A disadvantage of this system is that it becomes very noisy in operation , particularly if the exhaust muffler is faulty ; its use is therefore banned in some locales . Exhaust brake ( edit ) Main article : Exhaust brake Exhaust brakes are simpler in operation than an engine brake . Essentially , the exhaust pipe of the vehicle is restricted by a valve . This raises the pressure in the exhaust system , forcing the engine to work harder on the exhaust stroke of its cylinders , so again the engine is acting as an air compressor , with the power required to compress the air being withheld from the exhaust pipe , retarding the vehicle . Turbocharger retarders that restrict the flow of exhaust gas can also help in increasing the exhaust pressure to achieve the same objective . A disadvantage of this system is that the exhaust pipe has to be engineered to accommodate the high pressure generated . The retarding horsepower available from this system is significantly lower than other systems . It can cause a marked increase in engine oil carry - over out the crankcase ventilation system . Hydraulic retarder ( edit ) Hydraulic retarders use the viscous drag forces between dynamic and static vanes in a fluid - filled chamber to achieve retardation . There are several different types which can use standard transmission fluid ( gear oil ) , a separate oil supply , water , or a mix of oil and magnetic retardation . Magnetic retarders are similar to the electric retarder discussed below . A simple retarder uses vanes attached to a transmission driveshaft between the clutch and roadwheels . They can also be driven separately via gears off a driveshaft . The vanes are enclosed in a static chamber with small clearances to the chamber 's walls ( which will also be vaned ) , as in an automatic transmission . When retardation is required , fluid ( oil or water ) is pumped into the chamber , and the viscous drag induced will slow the vehicle . The working fluid will heat , and is usually circulated through a cooling system . The degree of retardation can be varied by adjusting the fill level of the chamber . Hydraulic retarders are extremely quiet , often inaudible over the sound of a running engine , and are especially quiet in operation compared to engine brakes . Electric retarder ( edit ) Main article : Eddy current brake Electric retarders use electromagnetic induction to provide a retardation force . An electric retardation unit can be placed on an axle , transmission , or driveline and consists of a rotor attached to the axle , transmission , or driveline -- and a stator securely attached to the vehicle chassis . There are no contact surfaces between the rotor and stator , and no working fluid . When retardation is required , the electrical windings in the stator receive power from the vehicle battery , producing a magnetic field through which the rotor moves . This induces eddy currents in the rotor , which produces an opposing magnetic field to the stator . The opposing magnetic fields slows the rotor , and hence the axle , transmission or driveshaft to which it is attached . The rotor incorporates internal vanes ( like a ventilated brake disk ) to provide its own air cooling , so no load is placed on the vehicle 's engine cooling system . The operation of the system is extremely quiet . A hybrid vehicle drivetrain uses electrical retardation to assist the mechanical brakes , while recycling the energy . The electric traction motor acts as a generator to charge the battery . The power stored in the battery is available to help the vehicle accelerate . Regenerative braking and eddy current braking are separate types of electric braking . Regenerative braking might not be classified as a retarder as it uses no extra physical hardware in addition to the existing rotor / stator pair of the motor . It effectuates braking by using the electric field created by the rotational inertia in the rotor / stator that is delivered into the rotor by the momentum of the vehicle ( wheels ) . Additional circuitry in the controller is used to manage this current flow from the stator windings into the battery , some of which dissipates as heat within the circuitry of the controller . In contrast , eddy current retarder brakes comprise a distinct and purpose - built static armature and rotor that are explicitly made and added to a vehicle for braking and dissipation of heat and not for motive power ; it is a purpose - built system distinct from the motor . Finally , `` dynamic '' braking is a term used to describe a complex use of controller braking where the controller can be used either for regenerative braking or by switching the circuit to feed the current to resistors . In this latter way `` rheostatic '' braking can be achieved . Whereas an eddy brake relies on eddy currents to create magnetic resistance some of which is incidentally dissipated as heat , rheostatic braking relies on controller circuitry resistors which directly dissipate current - borne electric energy as heat . Some dynamic braking vehicles describe the rheostatic braking as `` plug '' braking . In particular , forklift dynamic braking has been developed to take advantage of combining this type of braking with controllers specialized to quickly reverse vehicle direction . Dynamic and regenerative braking , when used on electric or diesel - electric railroad locomotives , means that the electric motors which usually are used to drive the road wheels are instead use as generators being driven by the wheels on a downslope . In regenerative braking , the electric current created is typically fed back into the power supply ( i.e. overhead catenary , third rail ) , and can be used by other locomotives or stored for later use . In this way a locomotive will receive current while on level ground or traveling uphill , but acts as a current supply when braking , transforming the kinetic energy created from traveling downhill ( or less often , converting forward momentum from travel on level ground ) into electricity . In a diesel - electric , rather than being generated remotely and collected from a power source , the power supply is generated directly by the onboard prime mover ( engine ) and transmitted to the motors ; there is presently rarely any way of storing electricity up for later use , so instead , the motors are used as generators , retarding the wheel rotation , and the generated power is routed through resistors mounted on the roof of the locomotive , where it is transformed into heat energy ( much like an electric heating element ) and dissipated into the atmosphere with large fans . While this has the drawback of not re-utilizing the energy created while traveling downhill , it does create a powerful and safe retarding system that is n't prone to brake fade or wearing out like mechanical brakes .

It was the second of the Indochina Wars and was officially fought between North Vietnam and the government of South Vietnam . The North Vietnamese army was supported by the Soviet Union , China , and other communist allies ; the South Vietnamese army was supported by the United States , South Korea , Australia , Thailand and other anti-communist allies . The war is considered a Cold War - era proxy war by some US perspectives . The war would last approximately 19 years and would also form the Laotian Civil War as well as the Cambodian Civil War , which resulted in all 3 countries becoming communist states in 1975 . There are several competing views on the conflict . Some on the North Vietnamese and National Liberation Front side view the struggle against U.S. forces as a colonial war and a continuation of the First Indochina War against forces from France and later on the United States , especially in light of the failed 1954 Geneva Conference calls for elections . Other interpretations of the North Vietnamese side include viewing it as a civil war , especially in the early and later phases following the U.S. interlude between 1965 and 1970 , as well as a war of liberation . In the perspective of some , the Provisional Revolutionary Government of the Republic of South Vietnam , the successor to the Việt Cộng , was motivated in part by significant social changes in the post-World War II Vietnam , and had initially seen it as a revolutionary war supported by Hanoi . The pro-government side in South Vietnam viewed it as a civil war , a defensive war against communism , or were motivated to fight to defend their homes and families . The U.S. government viewed its involvement in the war as a way to prevent a communist takeover of South Vietnam . This was part of the domino theory of a wider containment policy , with the stated aim of stopping the spread of communism . Beginning in 1950 , American military advisors arrived in what was then French Indochina . Most of the funding for the French war effort was provided by the U.S. The Việt Cộng , also known as Front national de libération du Sud - Viêt Nam or FNL ( the National Liberation Front ) , a South Vietnamese communist common front aided by the North , fought a guerrilla war against anti-communist forces in the region , while the People 's Army of Vietnam , also known as the North Vietnamese Army ( NVA ) , engaged in more conventional warfare , and had launched armed struggles from 1959 onward . U.S. involvement escalated in 1960 under President John F. Kennedy , with troop levels gradually surging under the MAAG program from just under a thousand in 1959 to 16,000 in 1963 . By 1964 there were 23,000 U.S. troops in Vietnam , but this escalated further following the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin incident , in which a U.S. destroyer was alleged to have clashed with North Vietnamese fast attack craft . In response the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution gave Lyndon B. Johnson authorization to increase U.S. military presence , deploying ground combat units for the first time and increasing troop levels to 184,000 . Every year onward there was significant build - up despite little progress , with Robert McNamara , one of the principal architects of the war , beginning to express doubts of victory by the end of 1966 . U.S. and South Vietnamese forces relied on air superiority and overwhelming firepower to conduct search and destroy operations , involving ground forces , artillery , and airstrikes . The U.S. conducted a large - scale strategic bombing campaign against North Vietnam . Following the Tết Offensive , U.S. forces began withdrawal under the Vietnamization phase ; the Army of the Republic of Vietnam unconventional and conventional capabilities increased following a period of neglect and became modeled on heavy fire - power focused doctrines like US forces . Operations crossed international borders : bordering areas of Laos and Cambodia were used by North Vietnam as supply routes and were heavily bombed by U.S. forces . Gradual withdrawal of U.S. ground forces began as part of `` Vietnamization '' , which aimed to end American involvement in the war while transferring the task of fighting the communists to the South Vietnamese themselves and begun the task of modernizing their armed forces . Morale declined significantly among U.S. forces during the wind - down period and incidents of fragging , drug - use and insubordination increased with General Creighton Abrams remarking `` I need to get this army home to save it '' . From 1969 onwards the military actions of the Việt Cộng insurgency decreased as the role and engagement of the NVA grew . Initially fielding less conventional and poorer weaponry , from 1970 onward the People 's Army of Vietnam and its branch People 's Liberation Armed Forces of South Vietnam had increasingly became mechanised and armoured , capable of modernised combined arms and mobile warfare and begun to widely deploy newer , untested weapons . These two sides would see significant , rapid changes throughout its lifetime from their original post-colonial armies , and by mid-1970s the ARVN became the fourth largest army with the PAVN became the fifth largest army in the world in two countries with a population of roughly 20 million each . Despite the Paris Peace Accord , which was signed by all parties in January 1973 , the fighting continued in which both Saigon and Hanoi attempted to take territory before and after the accord and the ceasefire was broken just days after its signing . In the U.S. and the Western world , a large anti-Vietnam War movement developed as part of a larger counterculture , the largest such anti-war movement up to that point in history . The war changed the dynamics between the Eastern and Western Blocs , and altered North -- South relations , and had significantly influenced the political landscape in the United States , across much of Western Europe and U.S. ground - force intervention spurred the rise of transnational political movements and campaigning . Direct U.S. military involvement ended on 15 August 1973 as a result of the Case -- Church Amendment passed by the U.S. Congress . The capture of Saigon by the North Vietnamese Army in April 1975 marked the end of the war , and North and South Vietnam were reunified the following year . The war exacted a huge human cost in terms of fatalities ( see Vietnam War casualties ) . Estimates of the number of Vietnamese soldiers and civilians killed vary from 966,000 to 3.8 million . Some 275,000 -- 310,000 Cambodians , 20,000 -- 62,000 Laotians , and 58,220 U.S. service members also died in the conflict , and a further 1,626 remain missing in action . The Sino - Soviet split re-emerged following the lull during the Vietnam War and ties between the DRV and its Cambodian allies in the Royal Government of the National Union of Kampuchea , the newly - formed Democratic Kampuchea begun almost immediately in a series of border raids by the Khmer Rouge and erupted into the Cambodian -- Vietnamese War , with Chinese forces directly intervening in the Sino - Vietnamese War . The end of the war and resumption of the Third Indochina War would precipitate the Vietnamese boat people and the bigger Indochina refugee crisis , which saw an estimated 250,000 people perish at sea .

Vietnam War is the most commonly used name in English . It has also been called the Second Indochina War and the Vietnam Conflict . As there have been several conflicts in Indochina , this particular conflict is known by the names of its primary protagonists to distinguish it from others . In Vietnamese , the war is generally known as Kháng chiến chống Mỹ ( Resistance War Against America ) , but less formally as ' Cuộc chiến tranh Mỹ ' ( The American War ) . It is also called Chiến tranh Việt Nam ( The Vietnam War ) .

Daniel Ellsberg contends that U.S. participation in Vietnam had begun in 1945 when it gave support to a French effort to reconquer its colony in Vietnam , a nation which had just declared independence in August 1945 . Indochina was a French colony during the 19th century . When the Japanese invaded during World War II , the Viet Minh opposed them with support from the US , the Soviet Union and China . They received some Japanese arms when Japan surrendered . The Viet Minh , a Communist - led common front under the leadership of Ho Chi Minh , then initiated an insurgency against French rule . Hostilities escalated into the First Indochina War ( beginning in December 1946 ) . By the 1950s , the conflict had become entwined with the Cold War . In January 1950 , China and the Soviet Union recognized the Viet Minh 's Democratic Republic of Vietnam , based in Hanoi , as the legitimate government of Vietnam . The following month the United States and Great Britain recognized the French - backed State of Vietnam in Saigon , led by former Emperor Bảo Đại , as the legitimate Vietnamese government . The outbreak of the Korean War in June 1950 convinced many Washington policymakers that the war in Indochina was an example of communist expansionism directed by the Soviet Union . Military advisors from the People 's Republic of China ( PRC ) began assisting the Viet Minh in July 1950 . PRC weapons , expertise , and laborers transformed the Viet Minh from a guerrilla force into a regular army . In September 1950 , the United States created a Military Assistance and Advisory Group ( MAAG ) to screen French requests for aid , advise on strategy , and train Vietnamese soldiers . By 1954 , the United States had spent US $1 billion in support of the French military effort , shouldering 80 percent of the cost of the war . During the Battle of Dien Bien Phu U.S. carriers sailed to the Gulf of Tonkin and the U.S. conducted reconnaissance flights . There were also talks between the French and Americans in which the possible use of three tactical nuclear weapons was considered , though reports of how seriously this was considered and by whom are vague and contradictory . According to U.S. Vice-President Richard Nixon , the plan involved the Joint Chiefs of Staff drawing up plans to use three small tactical nuclear weapons in support of the French . Nixon , a so - called `` hawk '' on Vietnam , suggested that the United States might have to `` put American boys in '' . U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower made American participation contingent on British support , but the British were opposed . Eisenhower decided against U.S. military intervention , being wary of getting the United States involved in a land war in Asia . Throughout the conflict , U.S. intelligence estimates remained skeptical of French chances of success . On 7 May 1954 , the French garrison at Dien Bien Phu surrendered . The defeat marked the end of French military involvement in Indochina . At the Geneva Conference , the French negotiated a ceasefire agreement with the Viet Minh , and independence was granted to Cambodia , Laos , and Vietnam . Transition period Main articles : Geneva Conference ( 1954 ) ; Operation Passage to Freedom ; Battle of Saigon ( 1955 ) ; Ba Cụt ; State of Vietnam referendum , 1955 ; Land reform in Vietnam ; and Land reform in North Vietnam The Geneva Conference , 1954 At the 1954 Geneva peace conference , Vietnam was temporarily partitioned at the 17th parallel . Ho Chi Minh had wished to continue the war in the south , but was restrained by his Chinese allies who convinced him that he could win control by electoral means . Under the terms of the Geneva Accords , civilians were to be given the opportunity to move freely between the two provisional states for a 300 - day period . Elections throughout the country were to be held in 1956 to establish a unified government . Around one million northerners , mainly minority Catholics , fled south , fearing persecution by the communists . This followed an American psychological warfare campaign , designed by Edward Lansdale for the CIA , which exaggerated anti-Catholic sentiment among the Viet Minh and which falsely claimed the US was about to drop atomic bombs on Hanoi . The exodus was coordinated by a U.S. - funded $93 million relocation program , which included the use of the Seventh Fleet to ferry refugees . The northern , mainly Catholic refugees gave the later Ngô Đình Diệm regime a strong anti-communist constituency . Diệm staffed his government 's key posts mostly with northern and central Catholics . In addition to the Catholics flowing south , up to 130,000 `` Revolutionary Regroupees '' went to the north for `` regroupment '' , expecting to return to the south within two years . The Viet Minh left roughly 5,000 to 10,000 cadres in the south as a `` politico - military substructure within the object of its irredentism . '' The last French soldiers were to leave Vietnam in April 1956 . The PRC completed its withdrawal from North Vietnam at around the same time . Around 52,000 Vietnamese civilians moved from south to north . Between 1953 and 1956 , the North Vietnamese government instituted various agrarian reforms , including `` rent reduction '' and `` land reform '' , which resulted in significant political oppression . During the land reform , testimony from North Vietnamese witnesses suggested a ratio of one execution for every 160 village residents , which extrapolated nationwide would indicate nearly 100,000 executions . Because the campaign was concentrated mainly in the Red River Delta area , a lower estimate of 50,000 executions became widely accepted by scholars at the time . However , declassified documents from the Vietnamese and Hungarian archives indicate that the number of executions was much lower than reported at the time , although likely greater than 13,500 . In 1956 , leaders in Hanoi admitted to `` excesses '' in implementing this program and restored a large amount of the land to the original owners . The south , meanwhile , constituted the State of Vietnam , with Bảo Đại as Emperor and Ngô Đình Diệm ( appointed in July 1954 ) as his prime minister . Neither the United States government nor Ngô Đình Diệm 's State of Vietnam signed anything at the 1954 Geneva Conference . With respect to the question of reunification , the non-communist Vietnamese delegation objected strenuously to any division of Vietnam , but lost out when the French accepted the proposal of Viet Minh delegate Phạm Văn Đồng , who proposed that Vietnam eventually be united by elections under the supervision of `` local commissions '' . The United States countered with what became known as the `` American Plan '' , with the support of South Vietnam and the United Kingdom . It provided for unification elections under the supervision of the United Nations , but was rejected by the Soviet delegation . The United States said , `` With respect to the statement made by the representative of the State of Vietnam , the United States reiterates its traditional position that peoples are entitled to determine their own future and that it will not join in any arrangement which would hinder this '' . U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower wrote in 1954 , I have never talked or corresponded with a person knowledgeable in Indochinese affairs who did not agree that had elections been held as of the time of the fighting , possibly eighty percent of the population would have voted for the Communist Ho Chi Minh as their leader rather than Chief of State Bảo Đại . Indeed , the lack of leadership and drive on the part of Bảo Đại was a factor in the feeling prevalent among Vietnamese that they had nothing to fight for . Ba Cut in Can Tho Military Court 1956 , commander of religious movement the Hòa Hảo , which had fought against the Việt Minh , Vietnamese National Army and Cao Dai movement throughout the first war According to the Pentagon Papers , however , from 1954 to 1956 `` Ngô Đình Diệm really did accomplish miracles '' in South Vietnam : `` It is almost certain that by 1956 the proportion which might have voted for Ho -- in a free election against Diệm -- would have been much smaller than eighty percent . '' In 1957 , independent observers from India , Poland , and Canada representing the International Control Commission ( ICC ) stated that fair , unbiased elections were not possible , with the ICC reporting that neither South nor North Vietnam had honored the armistice agreement . From April to June 1955 , Diệm eliminated any political opposition in the south by launching military operations against two religious groups : the Cao Đài and Hòa Hảo of Ba Cụt . The campaign also focused on the Bình Xuyên organized crime group , which was allied with members of the communist party secret police and had some military elements . As broad - based opposition to his harsh tactics mounted , Diệm increasingly sought to blame the communists . Originating as a bandit group , the Bình Xuyên was a crime syndicate briefly aligned with the Việt Minh before allying with the French in exchange for control over large parts of Saigon . Headed by Bảy Viễn , it was defeated during the Battle of Saigon in 1955 . In a referendum on the future of the State of Vietnam on 23 October 1955 , Diệm rigged the poll supervised by his brother Ngô Đình Nhu and was credited with 98.2 percent of the vote , including 133 % in Saigon . His American advisors had recommended a more modest winning margin of `` 60 to 70 percent . '' Diệm , however , viewed the election as a test of authority . Three days later , he declared South Vietnam to be an independent state under the name Republic of Vietnam ( ROV ) , with himself as president . Likewise , Ho Chi Minh and other communist officials always won at least 99 % of the vote in North Vietnamese `` elections '' . The domino theory , which argued that if one country fell to communism , then all of the surrounding countries would follow , was first proposed as policy by the Eisenhower administration . John F. Kennedy , then a U.S. Senator , said in a speech to the American Friends of Vietnam : `` Burma , Thailand , India , Japan , the Philippines and obviously Laos and Cambodia are among those whose security would be threatened if the Red Tide of Communism overflowed into Vietnam . '' Diệm era , 1954 -- 63 Main articles : Ngô Đình Diệm and War in Vietnam ( 1954 -- 59 ) Rule See also : Ngô Đình Diệm presidential visit to Australia Map of insurgency and `` disturbances '' , 1957 to 1960 A devout Roman Catholic , Diệm was fervently anti-communist , nationalist , and socially conservative . Historian Luu Doan Huynh notes that `` Diệm represented narrow and extremist nationalism coupled with autocracy and nepotism . '' The majority of Vietnamese people were Buddhist , and were alarmed by actions such as Diệm 's dedication of the country to the Virgin Mary . Beginning in the summer of 1955 , Diệm launched the `` Denounce the Communists '' campaign , during which communists and other anti-government elements were arrested , imprisoned , tortured , or executed . He instituted the death penalty against any activity deemed communist in August 1956 . According to Gabriel Kolko about 12,000 suspected opponents of Diệm were killed between 1955 and 1957 and by the end of 1958 an estimated 40,000 political prisoners had been jailed . U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Secretary of State John Foster Dulles greet President Ngô Đình Diệm of South Vietnam in Washington , 8 May 1957 In May 1957 , Diệm undertook a ten - day state visit to the United States . President Eisenhower pledged his continued support , and a parade was held in Diệm 's honor in New York City . Although Diệm was publicly praised , in private Secretary of State John Foster Dulles conceded that Diệm had been selected because there were no better alternatives . Former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara wrote in Argument Without End ( 1999 ) that the new American patrons of the Republic of Vietnam ( ROV ) were almost completely ignorant of Vietnamese culture . They knew little of the language or long history of the country . There was a tendency to assign American motives to Vietnamese actions , though Diệm warned that it was an illusion to believe that blindly copying Western methods would solve Vietnamese problems .

Between 1954 and 1957 there was large - scale but disorganized dissidence in the countryside which the Diệm government succeeded in quelling . In early 1957 South Vietnam enjoyed its first peace in over a decade . Incidents of political violence began to occur in mid-1957 , but the government `` did not construe it as a campaign , considering the disorders too diffuse to warrant committing major GVN ( Government of Vietnam ) resources . '' By early 1959 , however , Diệm had come to regard the ( increasingly frequent ) disorders as an organized campaign and implemented Law 10 / 59 , which made political violence punishable by death and property confiscation . There had been some division among former Viet Minh whose main goal was to hold the elections promised in the Geneva Accords , leading to `` wildcat '' activities separate from the other communists and anti-GVN activists . In December 1960 , the National Liberation Front ( NLF , a.k.a. the Viet Cong ) was formally created with the intent of uniting all anti-GVN activists , including non-communists . It was formed in Memot , Cambodia , and directed through a central office known as COSVN . According to the Pentagon Papers , the Viet Cong `` placed heavy emphasis on the withdrawal of American advisors and influence , on land reform and liberalization of the GVN , on coalition government and the neutralization of Vietnam . '' Often the leaders of the organization were kept secret . Support for the NLF was driven by peasant resentment of Diem 's reversal of land reforms in the countryside . The vast majority of the population lived in villages in the countryside , where a key demand was for land reform . In areas they controlled , the Viet Minh had confiscated large private landholdings , reduced rents and debts , and leased communal lands , mostly to the poorer peasants . Diem brought the landlords back to the villages . People who were farming land they had held for years now had to return it to landlords and pay years of back rent . This rent collection was enforced by the South Vietnamese army . The divisions within villages reproduced those that had existed against the French : `` 75 percent support for the NLF , 20 percent trying to remain neutral and 5 percent firmly pro-government '' . North Vietnamese involvement See also : North Vietnamese invasion of Laos and Ho Chi Minh trail The Ho Chi Minh trail , known as the Truong Son Road by the North Vietnamese , cuts through Laos . This would develop into a complex logistical system which would allow the North Vietnamese to maintain the war effort despite the largest aerial bombardment campaign in history . Sources disagree on whether North Vietnam played a direct role in aiding and organizing South Vietnamese rebels prior to 1960 . Kahin and Lewis assert : Contrary to United States policy assumptions , all available evidence shows that the revival of the civil war in the South in 1958 was undertaken by Southerners at their own -- not Hanoi 's -- initiative ... Insurgency activity against the Saigon government began in the South under Southern leadership not as a consequence of any dictate from Hanoi , but contrary to Hanoi 's injunctions . Similarly , historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr. states that `` it was not until September 1960 that the Communist Party of North Vietnam bestowed its formal blessing and called for the liberation of the south from American imperialism '' . The Ho Chi Minh trail required , on average , four - months of rough - terrain travel for combatants from North Vietnam destined for the Southern battlefields . By contrast , James Olson and Randy Roberts assert that North Vietnam authorized a low - level insurgency in December 1956 . To counter the accusation that North Vietnam was violating the Geneva Accord , the independence of the Viet Cong was stressed in communist propaganda . In March 1956 , southern communist leader Lê Duẩn presented a plan to revive the insurgency entitled `` The Road to the South '' to the other members of the Politburo in Hanoi , but as both China and the Soviets opposed confrontation at this time , Lê Duẩn 's plan was rejected . However , the North Vietnamese leadership approved tentative measures to revive the southern insurgency in December 1956 . Communist forces were under a single command structure set up in 1958 . The North Vietnamese Communist Party approved a `` people 's war '' on the South at a session in January 1959 , and in May Group 559 was established to maintain and upgrade the Ho Chi Minh trail , at this time a six - month mountain trek through Laos . About 500 of the `` regroupees '' of 1954 were sent south on the trail during its first year of operation . The first arms delivery via the trail was completed in August 1959 . About 40,000 communist soldiers infiltrated into the south from 1961 to 1963 . Kennedy 's escalation , 1961 -- 63 Main articles : War in Vietnam ( 1959 -- 63 ) and Strategic Hamlet Program See also : Phạm Ngọc Thảo President Kennedy 's news conference of 23 March 1961 In the 1960 U.S. presidential election , Senator John F. Kennedy defeated incumbent Vice President Richard Nixon . Although Eisenhower warned Kennedy about Laos and Vietnam , Europe and Latin America `` loomed larger than Asia on his sights . '' In his inaugural address , Kennedy made the ambitious pledge to `` pay any price , bear any burden , meet any hardship , support any friend , oppose any foe , in order to assure the survival and success of liberty . '' In June 1961 , he bitterly disagreed with Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev when they met in Vienna to discuss key U.S. -- Soviet issues . Only 16 months later , the Cuban Missile Crisis ( 16 -- 28 October 1962 ) played out on television worldwide . It was the closest the Cold War came to escalating into a full - scale nuclear war , and the U.S. raised the readiness level of Strategic Air Command ( SAC ) forces to DEFCON 2 . The Kennedy administration remained essentially committed to the Cold War foreign policy inherited from the Truman and Eisenhower administrations . In 1961 , the U.S. had 50,000 troops based in South Korea , and Kennedy faced a three - part crisis -- the failure of the Bay of Pigs Invasion , the construction of the Berlin Wall , and a negotiated settlement between the pro-Western government of Laos and the Pathet Lao communist movement . These crises made Kennedy believe that another failure on the part of the United States to gain control and stop communist expansion would fatally damage U.S. credibility with its allies and his own reputation . Kennedy was thus determined to `` draw a line in the sand '' and prevent a communist victory in Vietnam . He told James Reston of The New York Times immediately after his Vienna meeting with Khrushchev , `` Now we have a problem making our power credible and Vietnam looks like the place . '' South Vietnam , Military Regions , 1967 Kennedy 's policy toward South Vietnam rested on the assumption that Diệm and his forces had to ultimately defeat the guerrillas on their own . He was against the deployment of American combat troops and observed that `` to introduce U.S. forces in large numbers there today , while it might have an initially favorable military impact , would almost certainly lead to adverse political and , in the long run , adverse military consequences . '' The quality of the South Vietnamese military , however , remained poor . Poor leadership , corruption , and political promotions all played a part in weakening the South Vietnamese Army ( formally Army of the Republic of Vietnam or ARVN ) . The frequency of guerrilla attacks rose as the insurgency gathered steam . While Hanoi 's support for the Viet Cong played a role , South Vietnamese governmental incompetence was at the core of the crisis . One major issue Kennedy raised was whether the Soviet space and missile programs had surpassed those of the United States . Although Kennedy stressed long - range missile parity with the Soviets , he was also interested in using special forces for counterinsurgency warfare in Third World countries threatened by communist insurgencies . Although they were originally intended for use behind front lines after a conventional Soviet invasion of Europe , Kennedy believed that the guerrilla tactics employed by special forces such as the Green Berets would be effective in a `` brush fire '' war in Vietnam . Kennedy and McNamara Kennedy advisors Maxwell Taylor and Walt Rostow recommended that U.S. troops be sent to South Vietnam disguised as flood relief workers . Kennedy rejected the idea but increased military assistance yet again . In April 1962 , John Kenneth Galbraith warned Kennedy of the `` danger we shall replace the French as a colonial force in the area and bleed as the French did . '' By November 1963 , there were 16,000 American military personnel in South Vietnam , up from Eisenhower 's 900 advisors . The Strategic Hamlet Program was initiated in late 1961 . This joint U.S. -- South Vietnamese program attempted to resettle the rural population into fortified camps . It was implemented in early 1962 and involved some forced relocation , village internment , and segregation of rural South Vietnamese into new communities where the peasantry would be isolated from Communist insurgents . It was hoped these new communities would provide security for the peasants and strengthen the tie between them and the central government . However , by November 1963 the program had waned , and it officially ended in 1964 . On 23 July 1962 , fourteen nations , including China , South Vietnam , the Soviet Union , North Vietnam and the United States , signed an agreement promising to respect the neutrality of Laos . Ousting and assassination of Ngô Đình Diệm Main articles : Cable 243 , Arrest and assassination of Ngô Đình Diệm , Buddhist crisis , Krulak Mendenhall mission , McNamara Taylor mission , 1963 South Vietnamese coup , and Reaction to the 1963 South Vietnamese coup See also : Role of the United States in the Vietnam War § John F. Kennedy ( 1961 -- 1963 ) , 1960 South Vietnamese coup attempt , 1962 South Vietnamese Independence Palace bombing , Huế Phật Đản shootings , and Xá Lợi Pagoda raids The inept performance of the South Vietnamese army was exemplified by failed actions such as the Battle of Ap Bac on 2 January 1963 , in which a small band of Viet Cong won a battle against a much larger and better - equipped South Vietnamese force , many of whose officers seemed reluctant even to engage in combat . The Army of the Republic of Vietnam forces were led by Diệm 's most trusted general , Huỳnh Văn Cao , commander of the IV Corps . Cao was a Catholic who had been promoted due to religion and fidelity rather than skill , and his main job was to preserve his forces to stave off coup attempts ; he had earlier vomited during a communist attack . Some policymakers in Washington began to conclude that Diệm was incapable of defeating the communists and might even make a deal with Ho Chi Minh . He seemed concerned only with fending off coups , and had become more paranoid after attempts in 1960 and 1962 , which he partly attributed to U.S. encouragement . As Robert F. Kennedy noted , `` Diệm would n't make even the slightest concessions . He was difficult to reason with ... '' Historian James Gibson summed up the situation : ARVN forces capture a Viet Cong . Strategic hamlets had failed ... The South Vietnamese regime was incapable of winning the peasantry because of its class base among landlords . Indeed , there was no longer a ' regime ' in the sense of a relatively stable political alliance and functioning bureaucracy . Instead , civil government and military operations had virtually ceased . The National Liberation Front had made great progress and was close to declaring provisional revolutionary governments in large areas . Discontent with Diệm 's policies exploded in May 1963 following the Huế Phật Đản shootings of nine unarmed Buddhists who were protesting against the ban on displaying the Buddhist flag on Vesak , the Buddha 's birthday . This resulted in mass protests against discriminatory policies that gave privileges to the Catholic Church and its adherents over the Buddhist majority . Diệm 's elder brother Ngô Đình Thục was the Archbishop of Huế and aggressively blurred the separation between church and state . Thuc 's anniversary celebrations shortly before Vesak had been bankrolled by the government , and Vatican flags were displayed prominently . There had also been reports of Buddhist pagodas being demolished by Catholic paramilitaries throughout Diệm 's rule . Diệm refused to make concessions to the Buddhist majority or take responsibility for the deaths . On 21 August 1963 , the ARVN Special Forces of Colonel Lê Quang Tung , loyal to Diệm 's younger brother Ngô Đình Nhu , raided pagodas across Vietnam , causing widespread damage and destruction and leaving a death toll estimated to range into the hundreds . U.S. officials began discussing the possibility of a regime change during the middle of 1963 . The United States Department of State was generally in favor of encouraging a coup , while the Defense Department favored Diệm . Chief among the proposed changes was the removal of Diệm 's younger brother Nhu , who controlled the secret police and special forces , and was seen as the man behind the Buddhist repression and more generally the architect of the Ngô family 's rule . This proposal was conveyed to the U.S. embassy in Saigon in Cable 243 . Ngô Đình Diệm after being shot and killed in a coup on 2 November 1963 The Central Intelligence Agency ( CIA ) was in contact with generals planning to remove Diệm . They were told that the United States would not oppose such a move nor punish the generals by cutting off aid . President Diệm was overthrown and executed , along with his brother , on 2 November 1963 . When Kennedy was informed , Maxwell Taylor remembered that he `` rushed from the room with a look of shock and dismay on his face . '' Kennedy had not anticipated Diệm 's murder . The U.S. ambassador to South Vietnam , Henry Cabot Lodge , invited the coup leaders to the embassy and congratulated them . Ambassador Lodge informed Kennedy that `` the prospects now are for a shorter war '' . Kennedy wrote Lodge a letter congratulating him for `` a fine job '' . Following the coup , chaos ensued . Hanoi took advantage of the situation and increased its support for the guerrillas . South Vietnam entered a period of extreme political instability , as one military government toppled another in quick succession . Increasingly , each new regime was viewed by the communists as a puppet of the Americans ; whatever the failings of Diệm , his credentials as a nationalist ( as Robert McNamara later reflected ) had been impeccable . Viet Cong fighters crossing a river U.S. military advisors were embedded at every level of the South Vietnamese armed forces . They were however criticized for ignoring the political nature of the insurgency . The Kennedy administration sought to refocus U.S. efforts on pacification and `` winning over the hearts and minds '' of the population . The military leadership in Washington , however , was hostile to any role for U.S. advisors other than conventional troop training . General Paul Harkins , the commander of U.S. forces in South Vietnam , confidently predicted victory by Christmas 1963 . The CIA was less optimistic , however , warning that `` the Viet Cong by and large retain de facto control of much of the countryside and have steadily increased the overall intensity of the effort '' . Paramilitary officers from the CIA 's Special Activities Division trained and led Hmong tribesmen in Laos and into Vietnam . The indigenous forces numbered in the tens of thousands and they conducted direct action missions , led by paramilitary officers , against the Communist Pathet Lao forces and their North Vietnamese supporters . The CIA also ran the Phoenix Program and participated in Military Assistance Command , Vietnam -- Studies and Observations Group ( MAC - V SOG ) , which was originally named the Special Operations Group , but was changed for cover purposes .

As Vice President , Lyndon B. Johnson had not been heavily involved with policy toward Vietnam . Upon becoming president , however , Johnson immediately focused on the war : on 24 November 1963 , he said , `` the battle against communism ... must be joined ... with strength and determination . '' Johnson knew he had inherited a rapidly deteriorating situation in South Vietnam , but he adhered to the widely accepted domino theory argument for defending the South : Should they retreat or appease , either action would imperil other nations beyond the conflict . The military revolutionary council , meeting in lieu of a strong South Vietnamese leader , was made up of 12 members headed by General Dương Văn Minh -- whom Stanley Karnow , a journalist on the ground , later recalled as `` a model of lethargy '' . Lodge , frustrated by the end of the year , cabled home about Minh : `` Will he be strong enough to get on top of things ? '' His regime was overthrown in January 1964 by General Nguyễn Khánh . There was also persistent instability in the military , however , as several coups -- not all successful -- occurred in a short period of time . In a statement similar to that made to the French almost two decades earlier , Ho Chi Minh warned that if the Americans `` want to make war for twenty years then we shall make war for twenty years . If they want to make peace , we shall make peace and invite them to afternoon tea . '' Some have argued that the policy of North Vietnam was not to topple other non-communist governments in South East Asia . Gulf of Tonkin incident Main article : Gulf of Tonkin incident Further information : Credibility gap On 2 August 1964 , USS Maddox , on an intelligence mission along North Vietnam 's coast , allegedly fired upon and damaged several torpedo boats that had been stalking it in the Gulf of Tonkin . A second attack was reported two days later on USS Turner Joy and Maddox in the same area . The circumstances of the attacks were murky . Lyndon Johnson commented to Undersecretary of State George Ball that `` those sailors out there may have been shooting at flying fish . '' An undated NSA publication declassified in 2005 revealed that there was no attack on 4 August . Play media Universal Newsreel film about the attack on the U.S. Army base in Pleiku and the U.S. response , February 1965 The second `` attack '' led to retaliatory air strikes , and prompted Congress to approve the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution on 7 August 1964 . Although most Congressmen at the time denied that this was a full - scale war declaration , the Tonkin Resolution granted the president unilateral power to launch any military actions he deemed necessary . In the same month , Johnson pledged that he was not `` committing American boys to fighting a war that I think ought to be fought by the boys of Asia to help protect their own land '' . A U.S. B - 66 Destroyer and four F - 105 Thunderchiefs dropping bombs on North Vietnam during Operation Rolling Thunder The National Security Council recommended a three - stage escalation of the bombing of North Vietnam . Following an attack on a U.S. Army base in Pleiku on 7 February 1965 , a series of air strikes was initiated , Operation Flaming Dart , while Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin was on a state visit to North Vietnam . Operation Rolling Thunder and Operation Arc Light expanded aerial bombardment and ground support operations . The bombing campaign , which ultimately lasted three years , was intended to force North Vietnam to cease its support for the Viet Cong by threatening to destroy North Vietnamese air defenses and industrial infrastructure . It was additionally aimed at bolstering the morale of the South Vietnamese . Between March 1965 and November 1968 , `` Rolling Thunder '' deluged the north with a million tons of missiles , rockets and bombs . Bombing of Laos Main article : Laotian Civil War Ho Chi Minh awards a medal to Nguyễn Văn Cốc , who was claimed to have been responsible for downing 11 enemy aircraft . Bombing was not restricted to North Vietnam . Other aerial campaigns , such as Operation Barrel Roll , targeted different parts of the Viet Cong and NVA infrastructure . These included the Ho Chi Minh trail supply route , which ran through Laos and Cambodia . The ostensibly neutral Laos had become the scene of a civil war , pitting the Laotian government backed by the US against the Pathet Lao and its North Vietnamese allies . Massive aerial bombardment against the Pathet Lao and People 's Army of Vietnam forces were carried out by the US to prevent the collapse of the Royal central government , and to deny the use of the Ho Chi Minh Trail . Between 1964 and 1973 , the U.S. dropped two million tons of bombs on Laos , nearly equal to the 2.1 million tons of bombs the U.S. dropped on Europe and Asia during all of World War II , making Laos the most heavily bombed country in history relative to the size of its population . The objective of stopping North Vietnam and the Viet Cong was never reached . The Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force Curtis LeMay , however , had long advocated saturation bombing in Vietnam and wrote of the communists that `` we 're going to bomb them back into the Stone Age '' . The 1964 offensive ARVN Forces and a US Advisor inspect a downed helicopter , Battle of Dong Xoai , June 1965 Following the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution , Hanoi anticipated the arrival of US troops and began expanding the Viet Cong , as well as sending increasing numbers of North Vietnamese personnel southwards . At this phase they were outfitting the Viet Cong forces and standardising their equipment with AK - 47 rifles and other supplies , as well as forming the 9th Division . `` From a strength of approximately 5,000 at the start of 1959 the Viet Cong 's ranks grew to about 100,000 at the end of 1964 ... Between 1961 and 1964 the Army 's strength rose from about 850,000 to nearly a million men . '' The numbers for U.S. troops deployed to Vietnam during the same period were much lower : 2,000 in 1961 , rising rapidly to 16,500 in 1964 . During this phase , the use of captured equipment decreased , while greater numbers of ammunition and supplies were required to maintained regular units . Group 559 was tasked with expanding the Ho Chi Minh Trail , in light of the near constant bombardment by US warplanes . The war had begun to shift into the final , conventional warfare phase of Hanoi 's three - stage protracted warfare model . The Viet Cong was now tasked with destroying the ARVN and capturing and holding areas ; however , the Viet Cong was not yet strong enough to assault major towns and cities . In December 1964 , ARVN forces had suffered heavy losses at the Battle of Bình Giã , in a battle that both sides viewed as a watershed . Previously , communist forces had utilised hit - and - run guerrilla tactics . At Binh Gia , however , they had defeated a strong ARVN force in a conventional battle and remained in the field for four days . Tellingly , South Vietnamese forces were again defeated in June 1965 at the Battle of Đồng Xoài . American ground War A Marine from 1st Battalion , 3rd Marines , moves man suspected to be a Viet Cong activist to the rear during a search and clear operation held by the battalion 15 miles ( 24 km ) west of Da Nang Air Base . On 8 March 1965 , 3,500 U.S. Marines were dispatched to South Vietnam , unilaterally and without the consultation of the South Vietnamese government . This marked the beginning of the American ground war . U.S. public opinion overwhelmingly supported the deployment . The Marines ' initial assignment was defensive . The first deployment of 3,500 in March 1965 was increased to nearly 200,000 by December . The U.S. military had long been schooled in offensive warfare . Regardless of political policies , U.S. commanders were institutionally and psychologically unsuited to a defensive mission . General William Westmoreland informed Admiral U.S. Grant Sharp Jr. , commander of U.S. Pacific forces , that the situation was critical . He said , `` I am convinced that U.S. troops with their energy , mobility , and firepower can successfully take the fight to the NLF ( Viet Cong ) '' . With this recommendation , Westmoreland was advocating an aggressive departure from America 's defensive posture and the sidelining of the South Vietnamese . By ignoring ARVN units , the U.S. commitment became open - ended . Westmoreland outlined a three - point plan to win the war : Phase 1 . Commitment of U.S. ( and other free world ) forces necessary to halt the losing trend by the end of 1965 . Phase 2 . U.S. and allied forces mount major offensive actions to seize the initiative to destroy guerrilla and organized enemy forces . This phase would end when the enemy had been worn down , thrown on the defensive , and driven back from major populated areas . Phase 3 . If the enemy persisted , a period of twelve to eighteen months following Phase 2 would be required for the final destruction of enemy forces remaining in remote base areas . Peasants suspected of being Viet Cong under detention of U.S. Army , 1966 The plan was approved by Johnson and marked a profound departure from the previous administration 's insistence that the government of South Vietnam was responsible for defeating the guerrillas . Westmoreland predicted victory by the end of 1967 . Johnson did not , however , communicate this change in strategy to the media . Instead he emphasized continuity . The change in U.S. policy depended on matching the North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong in a contest of attrition and morale . The opponents were locked in a cycle of escalation . The idea that the government of South Vietnam could manage its own affairs was shelved . Westmoreland and McNamara furthermore touted the body count system for gauging victory , a metric that would later prove to be flawed . The one - year tour of duty of American soldiers deprived units of experienced leadership . As one observer noted `` we were not in Vietnam for 10 years , but for one year 10 times . '' As a result , training programs were shortened . Heavily bandaged woman burned by napalm , with a tag attached to her arm which reads `` VNC Female '' meaning Vietnamese civilian South Vietnam was inundated with manufactured goods . As Stanley Karnow writes , `` the main PX ( Post Exchange ) , located in the Saigon suburb of Cholon , was only slightly smaller than the New York Bloomingdale 's ... '' The American buildup transformed the economy and had a profound effect on South Vietnamese society . A huge surge in corruption was witnessed . Washington encouraged its SEATO allies to contribute troops . Australia , New Zealand , Thailand , and the Philippines all agreed to send troops . South Korea would later ask to join the Many Flags program in return for economic compensation . Major allies , however , notably NATO nations Canada and the United Kingdom , declined Washington 's troop requests . The U.S. and its allies mounted complex operations , such as operations Masher , Attleboro , Cedar Falls , and Junction City . However , the communist insurgents remained elusive and demonstrated great tactical flexibility . By 1967 , these operations had generated large - scale internal refugees , numbering nearly 2.1 million in South Vietnam , with 125,000 people evacuated and rendered homeless during Operation Masher , which was the largest search - and - destroy operation in the war up to that point . Operation Masher would have negligible impact as the PAVN / VC returned to the province just four months after the operation ended . Despite the continual conductance of major operations , in which the Viet Cong would typically evade , the war was characterised by smaller - unit contacts or engagements . Up to the war 's end , the Viet Cong and NVA would initiate 90 % of large firefights , of which 80 % were clear and well - planned operations , and thus the NVA / Viet Cong would retain strategic initiative despite overwhelming US force and fire - power deployment . The PAVN / NLF had furthermore developed strategies capable of countering U.S. military doctrines and tactics ( see NLF and PAVN battle tactics ) . U.S. soldiers searching a village for potential Viet Cong Meanwhile , the political situation in South Vietnam began to stabilise with the coming to power of prime minister Air Marshal Nguyễn Cao Kỳ and figurehead Chief of State , General Nguyễn Văn Thiệu , in mid-1965 at the head of a military junta . This ended a series of coups that had happened more than once a year . In 1967 , Thieu became president with Ky as his deputy , after rigged elections . Although they were nominally a civilian government , Ky was supposed to maintain real power through a behind - the - scenes military body . However , Thieu outmanoeuvred and sidelined Ky by filling the ranks with generals from his faction . Thieu was also accused of murdering Ky loyalists through contrived military accidents . Thieu , mistrustful and indecisive , remained president until 1975 , having won a one - candidate election in 1971 . A US `` tunnel rat '' soldier prepares to enter a Viet Cong tunnel . The Johnson administration employed a `` policy of minimum candor '' in its dealings with the media . Military information officers sought to manage media coverage by emphasizing stories that portrayed progress in the war . Over time , this policy damaged the public trust in official pronouncements . As the media 's coverage of the war and that of the Pentagon diverged , a so - called credibility gap developed . Despite Johnson and Westmoreland publicly proclaiming victory was being achieved , with Westmoreland divulging that the `` end is coming into view '' internal reports in the Pentagon Papers indicate that Viet Cong forces still retained strategic initiative , being able to control their losses widely , with 30 % of all engagements being Viet Cong attacks against static US positions , 23 % being a VC / NVA ambush and encirclement , and just 5 % of engagements being US forces attacking a Viet Cong emplacement and 9 % being a US ambush against Viet Cong / NVA forces .

PLAF before departing to participate in the Tet Offensive around Saigon - Gia Dinh U.S. Marines fighting in Huế In late 1967 the PAVN lured American forces into the hinterlands at Đắk Tô and at the Marine Khe Sanh combat base in Quảng Trị Province where the United States had engaged , in a series of battles known as The Hill Fights . Part of this would form a diversionary strategy that was meant to draw US forces towards the Central Highlands . Preparation for the General Offensive , General Uprising , known as Tet Mau Than , or the Tet Offensive was prepared , with the intention by Văn Tiến Dũng for forces to launch `` direct attacks on the American and puppet nerve centers -- Saigon , Hue , Danang , all the cities , towns and main bases ... '' Hanoi sought to placate critics of the ongoing stalemate and had sought a decisive victory . They had reasoned this could be achieved through sparking a general uprising within the towns and cities and mass - defections among ARVN units , who were on holiday leave , during the period truce . Over 100 cities were attacked by over 85,000 enemy troops including assaults on key military installations , headquarters , and government buildings and offices , including the U.S. Embassy in Saigon . U.S. and South Vietnamese forces were initially shocked by the scale , intensity and deliberative planning of the urban offensive , as infiltration of personnel and weapons into the cities were done in intense covertness , and the offensive constituted an intelligence failure on the scale of Pearl Harbor . Most cities were recaptured within weeks except the former capital city of Huế in which NVA and Viet Cong troops captured most of the city and citadel except the headquarters of the 1st Division and held on in the fighting for 26 days . During that time , they had executed approximately 2,800 unarmed Huế civilians and foreigners they considered to be enemy 's spies . In the following Battle of Huế American forces employed massive firepower that left 80 percent of the city in ruins . Further north , at Quảng Trị City , the ARVN Airborne Division , the 1st Division and a regiment of the US 1st Cavalry Division had managed to hold out and overcome an assault intended to capture the city . In Saigon , Viet Cong / NVA fighters had captured areas in and around the city , attacking key installations and the neighbourhood of Cholon before members of the ARVN Rangers dislodged them after three weeks . During one battle , Peter Arnett , had reported an infantry commander saying of Bến Tre ( laid to rubble by U.S. attacks ) that `` it became necessary to destroy the village in order to save it . '' North Vietnamese regular army forces The ruins of a section of Saigon , in the Cholon neighborhood , following fierce fighting between ARVN forces and Viet Cong Main Force battalions During the first month of the offensive , 1,100 Americans and other allied troops , 2,100 ARVN , 14,000 civilians , were killed By the end of the first offensive , after two months , nearly 5,000 ARVN were killed , over 4,000 U.S. forces were killed , with total including wounded being 45,820 and an unknown number of PAVN / NLF casualties , with some U.S. authors claiming the NVA and Viet Cong suffered 17,000 KIA and 32,000 total casualties including wounded . A month later a second offensive known as the Phase II / May Offensive was launched , although less widespread , it had still demonstrated the Viet Cong were still capable of carrying out nationally orchestrated nationwide offensives . Two months following the May Offensive , a third offensive was launched , the Phase III / August Offensive . The PAVN 's own official records of their losses across all three offensives was 45,267 killed and 111,179 total casualties . By then it had become the bloodiest year of the war up to that point . The failure to spark a general uprising , and the fact that no units within the ARVN defected meant both war goals of Hanoi had fallen flat at enormous costs . Prior to Tet in November 1967 , Westmoreland had spearheaded a public relations drive for the Johnson administration to bolster flagging public support . In a speech before the National Press Club he had said a point in the war had been reached `` where the end comes into view . '' Thus , the public was shocked and confused when Westmoreland 's predictions were trumped by Tet . For General Westmoreland , public approval of his overall performance dropped from 48 percent to 36 percent -- and endorsement for his war effort fell from 40 percent to 26 percent . '' The American public and media begun to turn against Johnson as the three offensives had contradicted claims of progress made by the Johnson administration and the military . At one point in 1968 , Westmoreland considered the use of nuclear weapons in Vietnam in a contingency plan codenamed Fracture Jaw , which was abandoned when it became known to the White House . Westmoreland 's request for 200,000 additional troops had been leaked to the media and the subsequent fallout combined with the intelligence failure caused him to be removed from command on March 1968 , succeeded by his deputy Creighton Abrams Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin with U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson at the Glassboro Summit Conference where the two representatives discussed the possibilities of a peace settlement On 10 May 1968 , peace talks began between the United States and North Vietnam in Paris . Negotiations stagnated for five months , until Johnson gave orders to halt the bombing of North Vietnam . At the same time , Hanoi realising it could not achieve a `` total victory '' employed a strategy known as `` talking while fighting , fighting while talking '' , in which military offensives would occur concurrently with negotiations . President Lyndon B. Johnson declined to run for re-election as his approval rating slumped from 48 to 36 percent . LBJ 's escalation of the war in Vietnam divided Americans into warring camps , cost 30,000 American lives by that point and was regarded to have destroyed his presidency . Refusal to send more U.S. troops to Vietnam was also seen as Johnson 's admission that the war was lost . As Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara noted , `` the dangerous illusion of victory by the United States was therefore dead . '' Vietnam was a major political issue during the United States presidential election in 1968 . The election was won by Republican party candidate Richard Nixon . Nixon doctrine and Vietnamization , 1969 -- 72 Nuclear threats and Diplomacy U.S. President Richard Nixon began troop withdrawals in 1969 . His plan , called the Nixon Doctrine , was to build up the ARVN , so it could take over the defense of South Vietnam . The policy became known as `` Vietnamization '' . Theater commander Creighton Abrams shifted to smaller operations , aimed at disrupting logistics , with better use of firepower and more cooperation with the ARVN . On 27 October 1969 , Nixon had ordered a squadron of 18 B - 52s loaded with nuclear weapons to race to the border of Soviet airspace to convince the Soviet Union , in accord with the madman theory , that he was capable of anything to end the Vietnam War ( `` Operation Giant Lance '' ) . Nixon had also sought détente with the Soviet Union and rapprochement with China which decreased global tensions and led to nuclear arms reduction on the part of both superpowers , however there was disappointed when both sides continued to supply the North Vietnamese with aid . Hanoi 's War strategy Propaganda leaflet urging the defection of Viet Cong and North Vietnamese to the side of the Republic of Vietnam In September 1969 , Ho Chi Minh died at age seventy - nine . The failure of Tet in sparking a popular uprising caused a shift in Hanoi 's war strategy and the Giáp - Chinh `` Northern - First '' faction had regained control over military affairs from the Lê Duẩn - Hoàng Văn Thái `` Southern - First '' faction . An unconventional victory was sidelined for a strategy built on conventional victory through conquest . Large - scale offensives were rolled back in favour of small - unit and sapper attacks as well as targeting the pacification and Vietnamization strategy . In the two - year period following Tet , the PAVN had begun its transformation from a fine light - infantry , limited mobility force into a high - mobile and mechanised combined arms force . U.S. domestic controversies The anti-war movement was gaining strength in the United States . Nixon appealed to the `` silent majority '' of Americans who he said supported the war without showing it in public . But revelations of the My Lai Massacre , in which a U.S. Army platoon raped and killed civilians , and the 1969 `` Green Beret Affair '' where eight Special Forces soldiers , including the 5th Special Forces Group Commander , were arrested for the murder of a suspected double agent provoked national and international outrage . In 1971 the Pentagon Papers were leaked to The New York Times . The top - secret history of U.S. involvement in Vietnam , commissioned by the Department of Defense , detailed a long series of public deceptions on the part of the U.S. government . The Supreme Court ruled that its publication was legal . Collapsing U.S. morale Following the Tet Offensive and the U.S. public beginning to publicly turn against the war , U.S. forces begun a period of morale collapse , disillusionment and disobedience . At home , desertion rates quadrupled from 1966 levels . Among enlisted only 2.5 % chose infantry combat positions in 1969 - 1970 . ROTC enrollment decreased from 191,749 in 1966 to 72,459 by 1971 and reaching an all - time low of 33,220 in 1974 , depriving U.S. forces of much - needed military leadership . Dying and wounded soldiers , photograph taken by Henri Huet , who was later killed in a helicopter crash Open refusal of engaging in patrols , carrying out orders and disobedience begun to emerge during this period as well with notable case of an entire company refusing orders to engage or carry out operations . Unit cohesion begun to dissipate , and focused on minimising contact with Viet Cong and NVA troops . A practice known as `` sand - bagging '' started occurring , were units ordered to go on patrol would go into the country - side , find a site out of view from superiors and rest while radioing in false coordinates and unit reports . Drug usage increased rapidly among U.S. forces during this period , as 30 % of U.S. troops engaged in regular usage of marijuana while a House subcommittee found 10 - 15 % of U.S. troops in Vietnam regularly used high - grade heroin . From 1969 on - ward search - and - destroy operations started to become referred to as `` search and evade '' or `` search and avoid '' operations , falsifying battle reports while avoiding guerrilla fighters . A total of 900 fragging and suspected fragging incidents were investigated , most occurring between 1969 and 1971 . In 1969 field - performance of the U.S. Forces was characterised by lowered morale , lack of motivation , and poor leadership . One battle which is used by historians to high - light the significant decline in U.S. morale was the Battle of FSB Mary Ann , one of the final engagements in which a sapper attack had rampaged and destroyed the base , relatively unchallenged . William Westmoreland , no - longer in command but tasked with its investigation cited a clear dereliction of duty , lax defensive postures and lack of officers being in charged as the reason . On the collapse of U.S. morale , historian Shelby Stanton wrote : In the last years of the Army 's retreat , its remaining forces were relegated to static security . The American Army 's decline was readily apparent in this final stage . Racial incidents , drug abuse , combat disobedience , and crime reflected growing idleness , resentment , and frustration ... the fatal handicaps of faulty campaign strategy , incomplete wartime preparation , and the tardy , superficial attempts at Vietnamization . An entire American army was sacrificed on the battlefield of Vietnam . ARVN taking the lead and U.S. ground - Force withdrawal Group of Soldiers from ARVN with SFC Norman A. Doney , 5th S.F. Group Abn. , 1st S.F. , Vietnam , Sept. 1968 Beginning in 1970 , American troops were withdrawn from border areas where most of the fighting took place , instead redeployed along the coast and interior , and US casualties in 1970 were less than half of 1969 casualties after being relegated to less active combat . At the same time that US forces were deployed , the Army of the Republic of Vietnam took over combat operations throughout the country , with casualties doubled US casualties in 1969 , and more than tripled US ones in 1970 . The post-Tet environment saw a rise in membership in Regional Force and Popular Force militias , now more capable of providing village security which the Americans could not under Westmoreland . In 1970 Nixon announced the withdrawal of an additional 150,000 American troops , reducing the number of Americans to 265,500 . By 1970 the Viet Cong forces were no - longer southern - majority , and nearly 70 % of units were northerners . Between 1969 and 1971 the Viet Cong and some PAVN units had reverted to small unit tactics typical of 1967 and prior instead of nationwide grand offensives . In 1971 Australia and New Zealand withdrew their soldiers and U.S. troop count was further reduced to 196,700 , with a deadline to remove another 45,000 troops by February 1972 . The United States also reduced support troops and in March 1971 the 5th Special Forces Group , the first American unit deployed to South Vietnam , withdrew to Fort Bragg , North Carolina . A memorial of a T - 54 / Type 59 tank in Siem Reap commemorating the overthrow of US / RVN - backed Lon Nol and the end of the civil war by the PAVN and GRUNK Cambodia Main articles : Operation Menu , Operation Freedom Deal , and Cambodian Civil War Prince Norodom Sihanouk had proclaimed Cambodia neutral since 1955 , but permitted the PAVN / NLF to use Cambodia as a staging ground for the Sihanouk Trail . Nixon had by then launched a massive bombing campaign , called Operation Menu , against communist sanctuaries along the Cambodia / Vietnam border . Only five high - ranking Congressional officials were informed of Operation Menu . In 1970 , Prince Sihanouk was deposed by his pro-American prime minister Lon Nol . North Vietnam invaded Cambodia in 1970 at the request of Khmer Rouge deputy leader Nuon Chea . A series of military operations in Cambodia by the South Vietnamese alongside Lon Nol 's FANK was the closest that the entire leadership of the Viet Cong came to being captured . This was a goal that US / RVN Intelligence failed to achieve for nearly a decade . Lon Nol had also started rounding up Vietnamese civilians in Cambodia into internment camps and begun massacring them , provoking harsh reactions from both the North Vietnamese and South Vietnamese government . A month after COSVN 's escape , U.S. and ARVN forces launched a second invasion into Cambodia to attack NVA and Viet Cong bases . A counter-offensive later that year as part of Operation Chenla II by the PAVN would recapture most of the border areas and decimate most of Lon Nol 's forces . An alleged Viet Cong captured during an attack on an American outpost near the Cambodian border is interrogated . This invasion sparked nationwide U.S. protests as Nixon had promised to deescalate the American involvement . Four students were killed by National Guardsmen at Kent State University during a protest in Ohio , which provoked further public outrage in the United States . The reaction to the incident by the Nixon administration was seen as callous and indifferent , providing additional impetus for the anti-war movement . The U.S. Air Force continued to heavily bomb Cambodia in support of the Cambodian government as part of Operation Freedom Deal . Laos Main articles : Operation Commando Hunt , Operation Lam Son 719 , and Laotian Civil War Pathet Lao soldiers in Vientiane , 1972 Building up on the success of ARVN units in Cambodia , and further testing the Vietnamization program , the ARVN were tasked to launch Operation Lam Son 719 in February 1971 , the first major operation aimed directly at occupying the Ho Chi Minh trail by attacking the major crossroad of Tchperone . This offensive would also be the first time the PAVN would field - test its combined arms force . The first few days were considered a success but the momentum had slowed after fierce resistance . Nguyễn Văn Thiệu had halted the general advance , leaving armoured divisions able to surround them . Thieu had ordered air assault troops to capture Tchepone and withdraw , despite facing four - times larger numbers . During the withdrawal the PAVN counterattack had forced a panicked rout . Half of the ARVN troops involved were either captured or killed , half of the ARVN / US support helicopters were downed by AA and the operation was considered a fiasco , demonstrating operational deficiencies still present within the ARVN . Richard Nixon and President Thieu had sought to use this event to show - case victory simply by capturing Tchepone , and it was spun off as an `` operational success '' . Easter offensive and Paris Peace Accords , 1972 Vietnamization was again tested by the Easter Offensive of 1972 , a massive conventional NVA invasion of South Vietnam . The NVA and Viet Cong quickly overran the northern provinces and in coordination with other forces attacked from Cambodia , threatening to cut the country in half . U.S. troop withdrawals continued . American airpower responded , beginning Operation Linebacker , and the offensive was halted . Russian advisers inspecting the debris of a B - 52 downed in the vicinity of Hanoi The war was central to the 1972 U.S. presidential election as Nixon 's opponent , George McGovern , campaigned on immediate withdrawal . Nixon 's National Security Advisor , Henry Kissinger had continued secret negotiations with North Vietnam 's Lê Đức Thọ and on October 1972 reached an agreement . President Thieu demanded changes to the peace accord upon its discovery and when North Vietnam went public with the agreement 's details , the Nixon administration claimed they were attempting to embarrass the president . The negotiations became deadlocked when Hanoi demanded new changes . To show his support for South Vietnam and force Hanoi back to the negotiating table , Nixon ordered Operation Linebacker II , a massive bombing of Hanoi and Haiphong 18 -- 29 December 1972 . Nixon pressured Thieu to accept the terms of the agreement , threatening to conclude a bilateral peace deal and cut off American aid while promising an air - response in case of invasion . Viet Cong soldier stands beneath a Viet Cong flag carrying his AK - 47 rifle . He was participating in the exchange of POWs by the International Commission of Control and Supervision . On 15 January , all U.S. combat activities were suspended . Lê Đức Thọ and Henry Kissinger , along with the Provisional Revolutionary Government - PRG ( Viet Cong 's government ) Foreign Minister Nguyễn Thị Bình and a reluctant President Thiệu signed the Paris Peace Accords on 27 January 1973 . This officially ended direct U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War , created a ceasefire between North Vietnam / PRG and South Vietnam , guaranteed the territorial integrity of Vietnam under the Geneva Conference of 1954 , called for elections or a political settlement between the Provisional Revolutionary Government and South Vietnam and allowed 200,000 communist troops to remain in the south , alongside a POW exchange . There was a sixty - day period for the total withdrawal of U.S. forces . `` This article '' , noted Peter Church , `` proved ... to be the only one of the Paris Agreements which was fully carried out . '' All US forces personnel were completely withdrawn by March 1973 . U.S. exit and final campaigns , 1973 -- 75 In the lead - up to the ceasefire on 28 January , both sides attempted to maximize the land and population under their control in a campaign known as the War of the flags , fighting continued after the ceasefire , this time without US participation and continued throughout the year . North Vietnam was allowed to continue supplying troops in the South but only to the extent of replacing expended material . Later that year the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Kissinger and Thọ , but the North Vietnamese negotiator declined it saying that a true peace did not yet exist . Recently released American POWs from North Vietnamese prison camps , 1973 On 15 March 1973 , Nixon implied the US would intervene again militarily if the North launched a full offensive and Secretary of Defense James Schlesinger during his June 1973 confirmation hearings re-affirmed this . Public and congressional reaction to Nixon 's statement was unfavourable which prompted the U.S. Senate to pass the Case -- Church Amendment to prohibit an intervention . PAVN / VC leaders expected the ceasefire terms would favor their side but Saigon , bolstered by a surge of U.S. aid received just before the ceasefire went into effect , began to roll back the Viet Cong . The communists responded with a new strategy hammered out in a series of meetings in Hanoi in March 1973 , according to the memoirs of Trần Văn Trà . With U.S. bombings suspended , work on the Ho Chi Minh trail and other logistical structures could proceed unimpeded . Logistics would be upgraded until the North was in a position to launch a massive invasion of the South , projected for 1975 -- 76 dry season . Tra calculated that this date would be Hanoi 's last opportunity to strike before Saigon 's army could be fully trained . The Viet Cong resumed offensive operations when the dry season begun in 1973 , and by January 1974 , recaptured territory it lost during the previous dry season . Civilians in a PAVN / NLF controlled zone . Civilians were required to show appropriate flags , during the War of the flags . Within South Vietnam , there was increasing chaos as the departure of the US military and the global recession that followed the Arab oil embargo compromised an economy partly dependent on U.S. financial support and troop presence . After two clashes that left 55 South Vietnamese soldiers dead , President Thieu announced on 4 January 1974 , that the war had restarted and that the Paris Peace Accord was no longer in effect . This was despite there being over 25,000 South Vietnamese casualties during the ceasefire period . The success of the 1973 -- 74 dry season offensive inspired Trà to return to Hanoi in October 1974 and plead for a larger offensive the next dry season . This time , Trà could travel on a drivable highway with regular fueling stops , a vast change from the days when the Ho Chi Minh trail was a dangerous mountain trek . Giáp , the North Vietnamese defence minister , was reluctant to approve of Trà 's plan since a larger offensive might provoke U.S. reaction and interfere with the big push planned for 1976 . Trà appealed over Giáp 's head to first secretary Lê Duẩn , who approved of the operation . Trà 's plan called for a limited offensive from Cambodia into Phước Long Province . The strike was designed to solve local logistical problems , gauge the reaction of South Vietnamese forces , and determine whether U.S. would return . Memorial commemorating the 1974 Buon Me Thuot campaign , depicting a Montagnard of the Central Highlands , a PAVN soldier and a T - 54 tank At the start of 1975 , the South Vietnamese had three times as much artillery and twice the number of tanks and armoured cars as the opposition . They also had 1,400 aircraft and a two - to - one numerical superiority in combat troops over their Communist enemies . However , the rising oil prices meant that much of this could not be used , and the rushed nature of Vietnamization , intended to cover the US retreat , saw a lack of spare parts , ground - crew and maintenance personnel , rendering most of the equipment given inoperable . Gerald Ford took over as U.S. president on 9 August 1974 after President Nixon resigned due to the Watergate scandal and Congress cut financial aid to South Vietnam from $1 billion a year to $700 million . Congress also voted in further restrictions on funding to be phased in through 1975 and to culminate in a total cutoff in 1976 . On 13 December 1974 , North Vietnamese forces attacked Route 14 in Phước Long Province . Phuoc Binh , the provincial capital , fell on 6 January 1975 . Ford desperately asked Congress for funds to assist and re-supply the South before it was overrun . Congress refused . The fall of Phuoc Binh and the lack of an American response left the South Vietnamese elite demoralized . The speed of this success led the Politburo to reassess its strategy . It was decided that operations in the Central Highlands would be turned over to General Văn Tiến Dũng and that Pleiku should be seized , if possible . Before he left for the South , Dũng was addressed by Lê Duẩn : `` Never have we had military and political conditions so perfect or a strategic advantage as great as we have now . '' The Tri Thien - Hue National Liberation Army and PAVN armoured units capture Hue , March 1975 Campaign 275 See also : 1975 Spring Offensive , Battle of Ban Me Thuot , and Hue -- Da Nang Campaign On 10 March 1975 , General Dung launched Campaign 275 , a limited offensive into the Central Highlands , supported by tanks and heavy artillery . The target was Buôn Ma Thuột , in Đắk Lắk Province . If the town could be taken , the provincial capital of Pleiku and the road to the coast would be exposed for a planned campaign in 1976 . The ARVN proved incapable of resisting the onslaught , and its forces collapsed on 11 March . Once again , Hanoi was surprised by the speed of their success . Dung now urged the Politburo to allow him to seize Pleiku immediately and then turn his attention to Kon Tum . He argued that with two months of good weather remaining until the onset of the monsoon , it would be irresponsible to not take advantage of the situation . President Nguyễn Văn Thiệu , a former general , was fearful that his forces would be cut off in the north by the attacking communists ; Thieu ordered a retreat , which soon turned into a bloody rout . While the bulk of ARVN forces attempted to flee , isolated units fought desperately . ARVN General Phu abandoned Pleiku and Kon Tum and retreated toward the coast , in what became known as the `` column of tears '' . On 20 March , Thieu reversed himself and ordered Huế , Vietnam 's third - largest city , be held at all costs , and then changed his policy several times . As the North Vietnamese launched their attack , panic set in , and ARVN resistance withered . On 22 March , the NVA opened the siege of Huế . Civilians flooded the airport and the docks hoping for any mode of escape . As resistance in Huế collapsed , North Vietnamese rockets rained down on Da Nang and its airport . By 28 March 35,000 VPA troops were poised to attack the suburbs . By 30 March 100,000 leaderless ARVN troops surrendered as the NVA marched victoriously through Da Nang . With the fall of the city , the defense of the Central Highlands and Northern provinces came to an end . Final North Vietnamese offensive Further information on the final North Vietnamese offensive : Ho Chi Minh Campaign Lê Minh Đảo and remnants of the 18th Division and surviving units made a last stand at the Battle of Xuân Lộc . With the northern half of the country under their control , the Politburo ordered General Dung to launch the final offensive against Saigon . The operational plan for the Ho Chi Minh Campaign called for the capture of Saigon before 1 May . Hanoi wished to avoid the coming monsoon and prevent any redeployment of ARVN forces defending the capital . Northern forces , their morale boosted by their recent victories , rolled on , taking Nha Trang , Cam Ranh , and Da Lat . On 7 April , three North Vietnamese divisions attacked Xuân Lộc , 40 miles ( 64 km ) east of Saigon . For two bloody weeks , severe fighting raged as the ARVN defenders made a last stand to try to block the North Vietnamese advance . By 21 April , however , the exhausted garrison were ordered to withdraw towards Saigon . An embittered and tearful president Thieu resigned on the same day , declaring that the United States betrayed South Vietnam . In a scathing attack , he suggested U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger had tricked him into signing the Paris peace agreement two years earlier , promising military aid that failed to materialize . Having transferred power to Trần Văn Hương , he left for Taiwan on 25 April . By the end of April , the ARVN collapsed on all fronts except in the Mekong Delta . Thousands of refugees streamed southward , ahead of the main communist onslaught . On 27 April 100,000 North Vietnamese troops encircled Saigon . The city was defended by about 30,000 ARVN troops . To hasten a collapse and foment panic , the NVA shelled the airport and forced its closure . With the air exit closed , large numbers of civilians found that they had no way out . Victorious NVA troops at the Presidential Palace , Saigon Fall of Saigon Main article : Fall of Saigon Further information : Operation Frequent Wind Chaos , unrest , and panic broke out as hysterical South Vietnamese officials and civilians scrambled to leave Saigon . Martial law was declared . American helicopters began evacuating South Vietnamese , U.S. , and foreign nationals from various parts of the city and from the U.S. embassy compound . Operation Frequent Wind had been delayed until the last possible moment , because of U.S. Ambassador Graham Martin 's belief that Saigon could be held and that a political settlement could be reached . Reunification parade following the Fall of Saigon , with the city being renamed to Ho Chi Minh City Schlesinger announced early in the morning of 29 April 1975 the evacuation from Saigon by helicopter of the last U.S. diplomatic , military , and civilian personnel . Frequent Wind was arguably the largest helicopter evacuation in history . It began on 29 April , in an atmosphere of desperation , as hysterical crowds of Vietnamese vied for limited space . Martin pleaded with Washington to dispatch $700 million in emergency aid to bolster the regime and help it mobilize fresh military reserves . But American public opinion had soured on this conflict . President Gerald Ford had given a televised speech on 23 April , declaring an end to the Vietnam War and all U.S. aid . Frequent Wind continued around the clock , as North Vietnamese tanks breached defenses on the outskirts of Saigon . In the early morning hours of 30 April , the last U.S. Marines evacuated the embassy by helicopter , as civilians swamped the perimeter and poured into the grounds . Many of them had been employed by the Americans and were left to their fate . On 30 April 1975 , NVA troops entered the city of Saigon and quickly overcame all resistance , capturing key buildings and installations . A tank from the 324th Division crashed through the gates of the Independence Palace at 11 : 30 am local time and the Viet Cong flag was raised above it . President Dương Văn Minh , who had succeeded Huong two days earlier , surrendered to Colonel Bùi Tín . Opposition to U.S. involvement in the War , 1964 -- 73 Main articles : Opposition to United States involvement in the Vietnam War and Protests of 1968 See also : Russell Tribunal and Fulbright Hearings Anti-war protests During the course of the Vietnam War a large segment of the American population came to be opposed to U.S. involvement in Southeast Asia . Public opinion steadily turned against the war following 1967 and by 1970 only a third of Americans believed that the U.S. had not made a mistake by sending troops to fight in Vietnam . Nearly a third of the American population were strongly against the war , a position which lasted through subsequent decades . Anti-Vietnam War demonstration , 1967 Early opposition to U.S. involvement in Vietnam drew its inspiration from the Geneva Conference of 1954 . American support of Diệm in refusing elections was seen as thwarting the democracy America claimed to support . John F. Kennedy , while Senator , opposed involvement in Vietnam . Nonetheless , it is possible to specify certain groups who led the anti-war movement at its peak in the late 1960s and the reasons why . Many young people protested because they were the ones being drafted while others were against the war because the anti-war movement grew increasingly popular among the counterculture . Some advocates within the peace movement advocated a unilateral withdrawal of U.S. forces from Vietnam . Opposition to the Vietnam War tended to unite groups opposed to U.S. anti-communism and imperialism and , for those involved with the New Left such as the Catholic Worker Movement . Others , such as Stephen Spiro opposed the war based on the theory of Just War . Some wanted to show solidarity with the people of Vietnam , such as Norman Morrison emulating the self - immolation of Thích Quảng Đức . Vietnam War protesters in Vienna in 1968 High - profile opposition to the Vietnam War increasingly turned to mass protests in an effort to shift U.S. public opinion . Riots broke out at the 1968 Democratic National Convention during protests against the war . After news reports of American military abuses such as the 1968 My Lai Massacre , brought new attention and support to the anti-war movement , some veterans joined Vietnam Veterans Against the War . On 15 October 1969 , the Vietnam Moratorium attracted millions of Americans . The fatal shooting of four students at Kent State University in 1970 led to nationwide university protests . Anti-war protests declined with the final withdrawal of troops after the Paris Peace Accords in 1973 . Involvement of other countries Pro-hanoi 2,000 years of Chinese - Vietnamese enmity and hundreds of years of Chinese and Russian mutual suspicions were suspended when they united against us in Vietnam . -- Richard Holbrooke , 1985 China Ho Chi Minh from the Việt Minh independence movement and Việt Cộng with East German sailors in Stralsund harbour , 1957 In 1950 , China extended diplomatic recognition to the Viet Minh 's Democratic Republic of Vietnam and sent heavy weapons , as well as military advisers led by Luo Guibo to assist the Viet Minh in its war with the French ( 1946 - 1954 ) . The first draft of the 1954 Geneva Accords was negotiated by French prime minister Pierre Mendès France and Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai who , seeing U.S. intervention coming , urged the Viet Minh to accept a partition at the 17th parallel . China 's support for North Vietnam when the U.S. started to intervene included both financial aid and the deployment of hundreds of thousands of military personnel in support roles . In the summer of 1962 , Mao Zedong agreed to supply Hanoi with 90,000 rifles and guns free of charge . Starting in 1965 , China sent anti-aircraft units and engineering battalions to North Vietnam to repair the damage caused by American bombing , man anti-aircraft batteries , rebuild roads and railroads , transport supplies , and perform other engineering works . This freed North Vietnamese army units for combat in the South . China sent 320,000 troops and annual arms shipments worth $180 million . The Chinese military claims to have caused 38 % of American air losses in the war . China claimed that its military and economic aid to North Vietnam and the Viet Cong totaled $20 billion ( approx . $143 billion adjusted for inflation in 2015 ) during the Vietnam War . Included in that aid were donations of 5 million tons of food to North Vietnam ( equivalent to NV food production in a single year ) , accounting for 10 -- 15 % of the North Vietnamese food supply by the 1970s .

In October , the Chinese demanded North Vietnam cut relations with Moscow , but Hanoi refused . The Chinese began to withdraw in November 1968 in preparation for a clash with the Soviets , which occurred at Zhenbao Island in March 1969 . The Chinese also began financing the Khmer Rouge as a counterweight to the Vietnamese communists at this time . China `` armed and trained '' the Khmer Rouge during the civil war and continued to aid them for years afterward . The Khmer Rouge launched ferocious raids into Vietnam in 1975 -- 1978 . When Vietnam responded with an invasion that toppled the Khmer Rouge , China launched a brief , punitive invasion of Vietnam in 1979 . Soviet Union Leonid Brezhnev ( left ) was the leader of the Soviet Union during the second half of the Vietnam War . Soviet ships in the South China Sea gave vital early warnings to Viet Cong forces in South Vietnam . The Soviet intelligence ships would pick up American B - 52 bombers flying from Okinawa and Guam . Their airspeed and direction would be noted and then relayed to COSVN , North Vietnam 's southern headquarters . Using airspeed and direction , COSVN analysts would calculate the bombing target and tell any assets to move `` perpendicularly to the attack trajectory . '' These advance warnings gave them time to move out of the way of the bombers , and , while the bombing runs caused extensive damage , because of the early warnings from 1968 to 1970 they did not kill a single military or civilian leader in the headquarters complexes . Photo of Soviet anti-air instructors and North Vietnamese crewmen , taken in the spring of 1965 at an the anti-aircraft training center in Vietnam The Soviet Union supplied North Vietnam with medical supplies , arms , tanks , planes , helicopters , artillery , anti-aircraft missiles and other military equipment . Soviet crews fired Soviet - made surface - to - air missiles at U.S. F - 4 Phantoms , which were shot down over Thanh Hóa in 1965 . Over a dozen Soviet citizens lost their lives in this conflict . Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 , Russian officials acknowledged that the Soviet Union had stationed up to 3,000 troops in Vietnam during the war . Cam Ranh Bay memorial complex dedicated to Soviet , Russian and Vietnamese servicemen Some Russian sources give more specific numbers : Between 1953 and 1991 , the hardware donated by the Soviet Union included 2,000 tanks , 1,700 APCs , 7,000 artillery guns , over 5,000 anti-aircraft guns , 158 surface - to - air missile launchers , 120 helicopters . During the war , the Soviets sent North Vietnam annual arms shipments worth $450 million . From July 1965 to the end of 1974 , fighting in Vietnam was observed by some 6,500 officers and generals , as well as more than 4,500 soldiers and sergeants of the Soviet Armed Forces . In addition , Soviet military schools and academies began training Vietnamese soldiers -- in all more than 10,000 military personnel . The KGB had also helped developed the signals intelligence capabilities of the North Vietnamese , through an operation known as Vostok ( also known as Phương Đông , meaning `` Orient '' and named after the Vostok 1 ) . The Vostok program was a counterintelligence and espionage program . These programs were pivotal in detecting and defeating CIA and South Vietnamese commando teams sent into North Vietnam , as they were detected and captured . The Soviets helped the Ministry of Public Security recruite foreigners within high - level diplomatic circles among the Western - allies of the US , under a clandestine program known as `` B12 , MM '' which produced thousands of high - level documents for nearly a decade , including targets of B - 52 strikes . In 1975 , the SIGINT services had broken information from Western US - allies in Saigon , determining that the US would not intervene to save South Vietnam from collapse . North Vietnamese Air Force pilots walk by their aircraft the MiG - 17 . The development of the North Vietnamese Air Force during the war was assisted by Warsaw Pact nations throughout the war . Between 1966 and 1972 a total of 17 flying aces were credited by the NVAF against US fighters . Czechoslovakia The Czechoslovak Socialist Republic was a member of the Warsaw Pact and sent significant aid to North Vietnam , both prior to and after the Prague Spring . The Czechoslovakian government created committees which sought to not only promote and establish peace , but also to promote victory for Viet Cong and Viet Minh forces . In the wake of the Prague Spring uprising , Czechoslovakia saw increasing parallels between its own conflict with the Soviet Union and North Vietnam 's increasing conflict with the United States . Czech - made equipment and military aid would increase significantly following the Prague Spring . Czechoslovakian weapons created by Česká zbrojovka Uherský Brod with the Vz. 58 being alleged to be highly valued among People 's Army of Vietnam forces , and Czechoslovakia continued to send tens of thousands of Czech - made rifles alongside mortar and artillery throughout the war . In general , the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic were quite aligned with European leftist movements , and there were simultaneous protests ongoing demonstrating against both the Soviet - intervention in Prague as well as the US intervention in Vietnam . Cooperation between North Vietnam and Czechoslovakia on the development of its air capabilities begun as early as 1956 . Czechoslovak instructors and trainers had instructed the North Vietnam Air Force in China and had helped them develop a modernised airforce , with the Czech - built Aero Ae - 45 and Aero L - 29 Delfín alongside Zlín Z 26 aircraft utilised significantly for training , and regarded as preferential to Soviet - built Yakovlev Yak - 3 as training aircraft . North Korea As a result of a decision of the Korean Workers ' Party in October 1966 , in early 1967 North Korea sent a fighter squadron to North Vietnam to back up the North Vietnamese 921st and 923rd fighter squadrons defending Hanoi . They stayed through 1968 , and 200 pilots were reported to have served . In addition , at least two anti-aircraft artillery regiments were sent as well . Cuba Fidel Castro meeting with Võ Nguyên Giáp at the Vietnam Military History Museum The contributions to North Vietnam by the Republic of Cuba under Fidel Castro have been recognized several times by representatives of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam . Castro mentioned in his discourses the Batallón Girón ( Giron Battalion ) as comprising the Cuban contingent that served as military advisors during the war . In this battalion , alongside the Cubans , fought Nguyễn Thị Định , founding member of the Viet Cong , who later became the first female Major General in the North Vietnamese Army . There are numerous allegations by former U.S. prisoners of war that Cuban military personnel were present at North Vietnamese prison facilities during the war and that they participated in torture activities . Witnesses to this include Senator John McCain , 2008 U.S. Presidential candidate and former Vietnam prisoner of war , according to his 1999 book Faith of My Fathers . East Germany East German solidarity stamp depicting a Vietnamese mother and child German Democratic Republic . The Ministry of Public Security of Vietnam ( Bộ Công An ) states there was special interest towards the Stasi in establishing an intelligence and security apparatus , particularly since the Stasi was well - regarded , considered `` industrial , modern , and ( with a ) scientific working - style '' . In official Vietnamese language histories on the Vietnamese Ministry of Public Security , the assistance provided by the Soviet and East German intelligence services to Vietnam is usually rated as the most important within the socialist bloc . East Germany had also provided a substantive aid in helping North Vietnam duplicate `` Green Dragon '' identity cards , which were difficult to duplicate identity cards created by Saigon in order to identify North Vietnamese combatants . East German authorities had also begun providing material and technical aid to help develop and modernise the North Vietnamese economy and military . Alongside providing military and economic aid , East Germany had also vigorously denounced the US war effort , and had reaped significant international and diplomatic standing as a result of its anti-war campaigns . Poland The Polish People 's Republic had played a substantive role in brokering and serving as an intermediary for peace - talks between Hanoi and Saigon , as part of a delegation under the International Control Commission alongside Western European nations . Recent evidence has emerged that Poland played an early role in attempting to broker talks between Ngô Đình Nhu and the Diem regime and Hanoi in 1963 in an effort to prevent the expansion of the war , given that Polish representatives were the only communist nation present in Saigon and had acted as a broker and representative on behalf of Hanoi . Pro-Saigon See also : Southeast Asia Treaty Organization As South Vietnam was formally part of a military alliance with the US , Australia and New Zealand , France , the UK , Pakistan , Thailand and the Philippines , the alliance was invoked during the war . The UK , France and Pakistan declined to participate , and South Korea and Taiwan were non-treaty participants . South Korea Main article : South Korea in the Vietnam War Soldiers of the South Korean White Horse Division in Vietnam On the anti-communist side , South Korea ( a.k.a. the Republic of Korea , ROK ) had the second - largest contingent of foreign troops in South Vietnam after the United States . In November 1961 , President Park Chung - hee proposed South Korean participation in the war to John F. Kennedy , but Kennedy disagreed as they were not SEATO treaty members . On 1 May 1964 Lyndon Johnson agreed to permit South Korean participation under the Many - Flags Program in return for monetary compensation . The first South Korean troops began arriving in 1964 and large combat formations began arriving a year later . The ROK Marine Corps dispatched their 2nd Marine Brigade while the ROK Army sent the Capital Division and later the 9th Infantry Division . In August 1966 after the arrival of the 9th Division the Koreans established a corps command , the Republic of Korea Forces Vietnam Field Command , near I Field Force , Vietnam at Nha Trang . South Vietnamese civilians of Phong Nhi village massacred by South Korean Blue Dragon Brigade in 1968 Official records are vindictive of the role of ROK Forces in the war , as State Department reports publicly questioned their usefulness in the conflict , as they have `` appeared to have been reluctant to undertake offensive operations , and are only useful in guarding a small sector of the populated area '' . State department reports furthermore state that ROK forces engaged in systemic , well - organised corruption in diverting US - equipment , and that actual security has often been provided by ARVN Territorial Forces whom lacked organic firepower and heavy artillery but served as a buffer between Korean units and the North Vietnamese Army . In addition , a RAND author conducting studies in South Vietnam in 1970 alleges that ROK forces had a `` deliberate , systematic policy of committing atrocities '' prompting civilians to leave ROK - controlled sectors . The conduct of ROK forces often emboldened and strengthened the Viet Cong , adding ranks from an otherwise neutral population and undermining efforts to defeat the insurgency overall . Approximately 320,000 South Korean soldiers were sent to Vietnam , each serving a one - year tour of duty . Maximum troop levels peaked at 50,000 in 1968 , however all were withdrawn by 1973 . About 5,099 South Koreans were killed and 10,962 wounded during the war . South Korea claimed to have killed 41,000 Viet Cong . An unknown percentage of ' enemy combatants ' may have been unarmed civilians , as ROK Forces were estimated to have deliberately killed at least 9,000 civilians . The United States paid South Korean soldiers 236 million dollars for their efforts in Vietnam , and South Korean GNP increased five-fold during the war . Thailand Main article : Thailand in the Vietnam War The Thai Queen 's Cobra battalion in Phuoc Tho Thai Army formations , including the Royal Thai Volunteer Regiment ( Queen 's Cobras ) and later the Royal Thai Army Expeditionary Division ( Black Panthers ) , saw action in South Vietnam between 1965 and 1971 . Thai forces saw much more action in the covert war in Laos between 1964 and 1972 , though Thai regular formations there were heavily outnumbered by the irregular `` volunteers '' of the CIA - sponsored Police Aerial Reconnaissance Units or PARU , who carried out reconnaissance activities on the western side of the Ho Chi Minh trail . Australia and New Zealand Main articles : Military history of Australia during the Vietnam War and New Zealand in the Vietnam War An Australian soldier in Vietnam Australia and New Zealand , close allies of the United States and members of the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization ( SEATO ) and the ANZUS military co-operation treaty , sent ground troops to Vietnam . Both nations had gained experience in counterinsurgency and jungle warfare during the Malayan Emergency and World War II . Their governments subscribed to the Domino theory . New Zealand was however a reluctant participant . Officials prophetically expected a foreign intervention to fail , were concerned that they would be supporting a corrupt regime and did n't want to further stretch their country 's small military ( which was already deployed to Malaysia ) . In the end though , a desire to prove their commitment to the ANZUS alliance and discourage an American withdrawal from Southeast Asia necessitated a military commitment . Australia began by sending advisors to Vietnam in 1962 , and combat troops were committed in 1965 . New Zealand began by sending a detachment of engineers and an artillery battery , and then started sending special forces and regular infantry which were attached to Australian formations . Australia 's peak commitment was 7,672 combat troops and New Zealand 's 552 . More than 60,000 Australian personnel were involved during the course of the war , of which 521 were killed and more than 3,000 wounded . Approximately 3,500 New Zealanders served in Vietnam , with 37 killed and 187 wounded . Most Australians and New Zealanders served in the 1st Australian Task Force in Phước Tuy Province . Australia 's decades of experience from both the Malayan Emergency and its AATTV role in 1962 saw a recognised need for true counter-insurgency which relied on providing village - level security , establishing civilian trust and economic incentives and improving ARVN capabilities . This had brought Australian commanders to conflict with William Westmoreland 's conventional attrition warfare approach since Australian ground forces were required to follow US doctrine . Nevertheless , Australian forces and experience were generally the most capable at the approach of COIN and had helped to train Regional Forces despite being under significant doctrinal constraints . Philippines Some 10,450 Filipino troops were dispatched to South Vietnam . They were primarily engaged in medical and other civilian pacification projects . These forces operated under the designation PHLCAG - V or Philippine Civic Action Group - Vietnam . More noteworthy was the fact that the naval base in Subic Bay was used for the U.S. Seventh Fleet from 1964 till the end of the war in 1975 . The Navy base in Subic bay and the Air force base at Clark achieved maximum functionality during the war and supported an estimated 80,000 locals in allied tertiary businesses from shoe making to prostitution . Taiwan Main article : Republic of China in the Vietnam War Since November 1967 , Taiwan secretly operated a cargo transport detachment to assist the United States and South Vietnam . Taiwan also provided military training units for the South Vietnamese diving units , later known as the Lien Doi Nguoi Nhai ( LDMN ) or `` Frogman unit '' in English . Military commandos from Taiwan were captured by North Vietnamese forces three times trying to infiltrate North Vietnam . Brazil Brazil , under a U.S. - backed military regime , officially supported the United States 's position in South Vietnam and contributed a medical team and supplies to the country -- the only Latin American country to do so . Neutral and non-belligerent nations Canada and the ICC Main article : Canada and the Vietnam War Canada , India and Poland constituted the International Control Commission , which was supposed to monitor the 1954 ceasefire agreement . Officially , Canada did not have partisan involvement in the Vietnam War and diplomatically it was `` non-belligerent '' though there is evidence to the contrary . The Vietnam War entry in The Canadian Encyclopedia asserts plainly that Canada 's record on the truce commissions was a pro-Saigon partisan one . United Front for the Liberation of Oppressed races ( FULRO ) Main articles : United Front for the Liberation of Oppressed Races and FULRO insurgency against Vietnam The ethnic minority peoples of South Vietnam like the Montagnards ( Degar ) in the Central Highlands , Hindu and Muslim Cham and the Buddhist Khmer Krom were actively recruited in the war . There was an active strategy of recruitment and favorable treatment of Montagnard tribes for the Viet Cong , as they were pivotal for control of infiltration routes . Some groups had split off and formed together the United Front for the Liberation of Oppressed Races ( French : Front Uni de Lutte des Races Opprimées , acronym : FULRO ) to fight for autonomy or independence . FULRO fought against both the anti-Communist South Vietnamese and the Communist Viet Cong , and then FULRO proceeded to fight against the unified Socialist Republic of Vietnam after the fall of South Vietnam . During the war , the South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem began a program to settle ethnic Vietnamese Kinh on Montagnard lands in the Central Highlands region . This provoked a backlash from the Montagnards , some joining the NLF as a result . The Cambodians under both the pro-China King Sihanouk and the pro-American Lon Nol supported their fellow co-ethnic Khmer Krom in South Vietnam , following an anti-ethnic Vietnamese policy . Following Vietnamization many Montagnard groups and fighters were incorporated into the Vietnamese Rangers as border sentries . War crimes Main articles : List of war crimes § 1955 -- 1975 : Vietnam War , and Vietnam War casualties See also : List of massacres in Vietnam Victims of the My Lai massacre A large number of war crimes took place during the Vietnam War . War crimes were committed by both sides during the conflict and included rape , massacres of civilians , bombings of civilian targets , terrorism , the widespread use of torture and the murder of prisoners of war . Additional common crimes included theft , arson , and the destruction of property not warranted by military necessity . Allied War crimes See also : Winter Soldier Investigation , Vietnam War Crimes Working Group , and Tiger Force In 1968 , the Vietnam War Crimes Working Group ( VWCWG ) was established by the Pentagon task force set up in the wake of the My Lai Massacre , to attempt to ascertain the veracity of emerging claims of war crimes by U.S. armed forces in Vietnam , during the Vietnam War period . A probable war - crime which was neither investigated or brought to charge was the Thuy Bo massacre while the Son Thang massacre was one that warranted investigation with its perpetrators court - martial and serving less than a year of prison . A suspected Viet Cong prisoner captured in 1967 by the U.S. Army awaits interrogation . He has been placed in a stress position by tying a board between his arms . Of the portion of war - crimes which were reported to military authorities , sworn statements by witnesses and status reports indicated that 320 war - crimes incidents had a factual basis . The substantiated cases included 7 massacres between 1967 and 1971 in which at least 137 civilians were killed ; seventy eight further attacks targeting non-combatants resulting in at least 57 deaths , 56 wounded and 15 sexually assaulted ; one hundred and forty - one cases of U.S. soldiers torturing civilian detainees or prisoners of war with fists , sticks , bats , water or electric shock . Rummel estimated that American forces committed around 5,500 intentional democidal killings between 1960 and 1972 , from a range of between 4,000 and 10,000 killed based on two sources published while the war was ongoing . Journalism in the ensuing years has documented large numbers of overlooked and uninvestigated war crimes involving every army division that was active in Vietnam , with one prominent non-investigated war - crime being the Tiger Force atrocities . Napalm burn victims during the war being treated at the 67th Combat Support Hospital The establishment of numerous free - fire zones by U.S. forces as a tactic to prevent Viet Cong fighters from sheltering in South Vietnamese villages . Such practice , which involved the assumption that any individual appearing in the designated zones was an enemy combatant that could be freely targeted by weapons , is regarded by journalist Lewis M. Simons as `` a severe violation of the laws of war '' . Nick Turse , in his 2013 book , Kill Anything that Moves , argues that a relentless drive toward higher body counts , a widespread use of free - fire zones , rules of engagement where civilians who ran from soldiers or helicopters could be viewed as Viet Cong , and a widespread disdain for Vietnamese civilians led to massive civilian casualties and endemic war crimes inflicted by U.S. troops . One example cited by Turse is Operation Speedy Express , an operation by the 9th Infantry Division , which was described by John Paul Vann as , in effect , `` many My Lais '' . A report by Newsweek magazine suggested that at minimum 5,000 civilians may have been killed during six months of the operation , as there was around 748 recovered weapons . Tam Tòa Church in Đồng Hới , Quảng Bình Province . Most of the city and the church was flattened during B - 52 bombings in 1965 . R.J. Rummel estimated that 39,000 were killed by South Vietnam during the Diem - era in democide from a range of between 16,000 and 167,000 South Vietnamese civilians ; for 1964 to 1975 , Rummel estimated a total of 50,000 killed in democide , from a range of between 42,000 and 128,000 . Thus , the total for 1954 to 1975 is 81,000 , from a range of between 57,000 and 284,000 deaths caused by South Vietnam . Benjamin Valentino attributes possibly 110,000 -- 310,000 `` counter-guerrilla mass killings '' of non-combatants to U.S. and South Vietnamese forces during the war . An estimated 26,000 to 41,000 civilian members of the PRG / NLF termed `` VC Infrastructure '' were killed during the Phoenix Program , by US and South Vietnamese intelligence and security , with an unknown number being innocent civilians . Torture and ill - treatment were frequently applied by the South Vietnamese to POWs as well as civilian prisoners . During their visit to the Con Son Prison in 1970 , U.S. Congressmen Augustus F. Hawkins and William R. Anderson witnessed detainees either confined in minute `` tiger cages '' or chained to their cells , and provided with poor - quality food . A group of American doctors inspecting the prison in the same year found many inmates suffering symptoms resulting from forced immobility and torture . During their visits to transit detention facilities under American administration in 1968 and 1969 , the International Red Cross recorded many cases of torture and inhumane treatment before the captives were handed over to South Vietnamese authorities . Torture was conducted by the South Vietnamese government in collusion with the CIA . South Korean forces were also accused of war crimes as well . One documented event was the Phong Nhị and Phong Nhất massacre where the 2nd Marine Brigade of the South Korean Army reportedly killed 69 -- 79 civilians on 12 February 1968 in Phong Nhị and Phong Nhất village , Điện Bàn District of Quảng Nam Province in South Vietnam . South Korean forces are also accused of perpetrating other massacres , namely : Bình Hòa massacre , Binh Tai Massacre and Hà My massacre alongside the Bình An / Tây Vinh massacre . North Vietnamese and Viet Cong War crimes Main article : Viet Cong and PAVN strategy , organization and structure § VC / NVA use of terror See also : Cambodian Civil War § War Crimes Interment of victims of the Huế Massacre Ami Pedahzur has written that `` the overall volume and lethality of Viet Cong terrorism rivals or exceeds all but a handful of terrorist campaigns waged over the last third of the twentieth century '' , based on the definition of terrorists as a non-state actor , and examining targeted killings and civilian deaths which are estimated at over 18,000 from 1966 to 1969 . The US Department of Defense estimates the VC / NVA had conducted 36,000 murders and almost 58,000 kidnappings from 1967 to 1972 , c. 1973 . Statistics for 1968 -- 72 suggest that `` about 80 percent of the terrorist victims were ordinary civilians and only about 20 percent were government officials , policemen , members of the self - defence forces or pacification cadres . '' Benjamin Valentino attributes 45,000 -- 80,000 `` terrorist mass killings '' of non-combatants to the Viet Cong during the war . Viet Cong tactics included the frequent mortaring of civilians in refugee camps , and the placing of mines on highways frequented by villagers taking their goods to urban markets . Some mines were set only to go off after heavy vehicle passage , causing extensive slaughter aboard packed civilian buses . Notable Viet Cong atrocities include the massacre of over 3,000 unarmed civilians at Huế during the Tet Offensive and the killing of 252 civilians during the Đắk Sơn massacre . 155,000 refugees fleeing the final North Vietnamese Spring Offensive were reported to have been killed or abducted on the road to Tuy Hòa in 1975 . According to Rummel , North Vietnamese and Viet Cong troops killed 164,000 civilians in democide between 1954 and 1975 in South Vietnam , from a range of between 106,000 and 227,000 ( 50,000 of which were reportedly killed by shelling and mortar on ARVN forces during the retreat to Tuy Hoa ) . North Vietnam was also known for its abusive treatment of American POWs , most notably in Hỏa Lò Prison ( aka the Hanoi Hilton ) , where torture was employed to extract confessions . Women in the Vietnam War American nurses Da Nang , South Vietnam , 1968 During the Vietnam War , American women served on active duty doing a variety of jobs . Early in 1963 , the Army Nurse Corps ( ANC ) launched Operation Nightingale , an intensive effort to recruit nurses to serve in Vietnam . First Lieutenant Sharon Lane was the only female military nurse to be killed by enemy gunfire during the war , on 8 June 1969 . One civilian doctor , Eleanor Ardel Vietti , who was captured by Viet Cong on May 30 , 1962 , in Buôn Ma Thuột , remains the only American woman unaccounted for from the Vietnam War . A nurse treats a Vietnamese child , 1967 Although a small number of women were assigned to combat zones , they were never allowed directly in the field of battle . The women who served in the military were solely volunteers . They faced a plethora of challenges , one of which was the relatively small number of female soldiers . Living in a male - dominated environment created tensions between the sexes . By 1973 , approximately 7,500 women had served in Vietnam in the Southeast Asian theater . American women serving in Vietnam were subject to societal stereotypes . To address this problem , the ANC released advertisements portraying women in the ANC as `` proper , professional and well protected . '' This effort to highlight the positive aspects of a nursing career reflected the feminism of the 1960s -- 1970s in the United States . Although female military nurses lived in a heavily male environment , very few cases of sexual harassment were ever reported . Master - Sergeant and pharmacist Do Thi Trinh , part of the WAFC , supplying medication to ARVN dependents Vietnamese women Female Viet Cong guerrilla in combat Unlike the American women who went to Vietnam , both South and North Vietnamese women were enlisted and fought in the combat zone . Women were enlisted in both the North Vietnamese Army ( NVA ) and the Viet Cong guerrilla insurgent force in South Vietnam , many joining due to the promises of female equality and a greater social role within society . Some women also served for the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong intelligence services . The deputy military commander of the PLAF , the armed wing of the Viet Cong , was a female general Nguyễn Thị Định . All female units were present throughout the entirety of the war , ranging from front - line combat troops to anti-air units , scout and reconnaissance units and others providing intelligence . There was female combat squads present at the Cu Chi theatre . alongside the Battle of Hue . Large numbers of women volunteered in addition throughout North Vietnam , manning anti-aircraft batteries , providing village security as well as serving in logistics on the Ho Chi Minh trail . Many more women would be embedded with troops on the front - line , serving as doctors and medical personnel . Đặng Thùy Trâm became renown after her diary was published following her death . The Foreign Minister for the National Liberation Front and later the PRG was also a woman , Nguyễn Thị Bình . Memorial temple to Nguyễn Thị Định and the female volunteers of the PLAF whom she commanded . They came to call themselves the `` Long - Haired Army '' . In South Vietnam , many women voluntarily served in the ARVN 's Women 's Armed Force Corps ( WAFC ) and various other Women 's corps in the military . Some , like in the WAFC , fought in combat with other soldiers . Others served as nurses and doctors in the battlefield and in military hospitals , or served in South Vietnam or America 's intelligence agencies . During Diệm 's presidency , Madame Nhu was the commander of the WAFC . Many women joined provincial and voluntary village - level militia in the People 's Self Defense Force as part of the South Vietnamese Popular Force especially during the ARVN expansions later in the war . The war saw more than one million rural people migrate or flee the fighting in the South Vietnamese countryside to the cities , especially Saigon . Among the internal refugees were many young women who became the ubiquitous `` bargirls '' of wartime South Vietnam `` hawking her wares -- be that cigarettes , liquor , or herself '' to American and allied soldiers . American bases were ringed by bars and brothels . 8,040 Vietnamese women came to the United States as war brides between 1964 and 1975 . Many mixed - blood Amerasian children were left behind when their American fathers returned to the United States after their tour of duty in South Vietnam . 26,000 of them were permitted to immigrate to the United States in the 1980s and 1990s . Female journalists The Vietnam War also saw women play a prominent role as front - line reporters in the conflict , directly reporting on the conflict as it occurred . A number of women volunteered on the North Vietnamese side as embedded journalists including author Lê Minh Khuê embedded with PAVN forces , including on the Ho Chi Minh trail as well as on combat fronts . A number of prominent Western journalists were also involved in covering the war , with Dickey Chapelle being among the first as well as the first American female reporter killed in a war . The French - speaking Australian journalist Kate Webb was captured alongside a photographer and others by the Viet Cong in Cambodia and travelled into Laos with them , released back into Cambodia afterwards after 23 days of captivity . She would be the first Western journalist to be captured and released , as well as cover the perspective of the Viet Cong in her memoir On The Other Side . Another French - speaking journalist Catherine Leroy was briefly captured and released by North Vietnamese forces during the Battle of Huế , capturing some of the famous photos from the battles that would appear on the cover of Life Magazine . Black servicemen in Vietnam See also : Civil rights movement and Military history of African Americans § Vietnam War A wounded African - American soldier being carried away , 1968 The experience of American military personnel of African origin during the Vietnam War had received significant attention . For example , the website `` African - American Involvement in the Vietnam War '' compiles examples of such coverage , as does the print and broadcast work of journalist Wallace Terry . Terry 's book Bloods : An Oral History of the Vietnam War by Black Veterans ( 1984 ) , includes observations about the impact of the war on the black community in general and on black servicemen specifically . Points he makes on the latter topic include : the higher proportion of combat casualties in Vietnam among African American servicemen than among American soldiers of other races , the shift toward and different attitudes of black military careerists versus black draftees , the discrimination encountered by black servicemen `` on the battlefield in decorations , promotion and duty assignments '' as well as their having to endure `` the racial insults , cross-burnings and Confederate flags of their white comrades '' -- and the experiences faced by black soldiers stateside , during the war and after America 's withdrawal . Civil rights leaders protested the disproportionate casualties and the over-representation in hazardous duty and combat roles experienced by African American servicemen , prompting reforms that were implemented beginning in 1967 -- 68 . As a result , by the war 's completion in 1975 , black casualties had declined to 12.5 % of US combat deaths , approximately equal to percentage of draft - eligible black men , though still slightly higher than the 10 % who served in the military . Weapons Main article : Weapons of the Vietnam War Guerillas assemble shells and rockets delivered along the Ho Chi Minh Trail . During the early stages the Viet Cong mainly sustained itself with captured arms , often of American manufacture or crude , self - made weapons and shotguns made of galvanized pipes . Most arms were captured from poorly defended ARVN militia outposts . In 1967 , all Viet Cong battalions were reequipped with arms of Soviet design such as the AK - 47 assault rifle and the RPG - 2 anti-tank weapon . Their weapons were principally of Chinese or Soviet manufacture . The period up to the conventional phase in the 1970 , the Viet Cong and NVA were primarily limited to mortars 81 - mm mortars , recoil-less rifles and small - arms and had significantly lighter equipment and firepower in comparison with the US arsenal , relying on ambushes alongside superior stealth , planning , marksmanship and small - unit tactics to face the disproportionate US technological advantage . M41 Walker Bulldog , the primary tank of the US and ARVN After the Tet Offensive , many North Vietnamese units incorporated light tanks such as the Type 62 Type 59 tank. , BTR - 60 , Type 60 artillery , amphibious tanks ( such as the PT - 76 ) and integrated into new war doctrines as a mobile combined - arms force . The North Vietnamese started receiving experimental Soviet weapons against ARVN forces including MANPADS 9K32 Strela - 2 , and anti-tank missiles , 9M14 Malyutka . By 1975 they had fully transformed from the strategy of mobile light - infantry and using the people 's war concept used against the United States . The US service rifle was initially the M14 until it was replaced by the M16 rifle . For a period , the gun suffered from a jamming flaw . According to a congressional report , the jamming was due to inadequate testing and reflected a decision for which the safety of soldiers was a secondary consideration . That issue was solved in early 1968 with the issuance of the M16A1 that featured a chrome plated bore . The M60 machine gun was the main machine gun of the US army at the time and many of them were put on helicopters , to provide suppressive fire . The MAC - 10 machine pistol was supplied to many special forces troops in the midpoint of the war . UH - 1D helicopters airlift members of a U.S. infantry regiment , 1966 Two aircraft which were prominent in the war were the AC - 130 `` Spectre '' Gunship and the UH - 1 `` Huey '' gunship . The AC - 130 was a heavily armed ground - attack aircraft variant of the C - 130 Hercules transport plane . The Huey is a military helicopter powered by a single , turboshaft engine , and approximately 7,000 UH - 1 aircraft saw service in Vietnam. The US ' heavily armored , 90 mm M48A3 Patton tank saw extensive action during the Vietnam War and over 600 were deployed with US Forces . Ground forces also had access to B - 52 and F - 4 Phantom II and others to launch napalm , white phosphorus , tear gas and chemical weapons , precision - guided munition and cluster bombs . ARVN soldiers posing on top of a Type 59 tank Radio communications North Vietnamese SAM crew in front of SA - 2 launcher . The Soviet Union provided North Vietnam with considerable anti-air defence around installations . The Vietnam War was the first conflict where U.S. forces had secure voice communication equipment available at the tactical level . The National Security Agency ran a crash program to provide U.S. forces with a family of security equipment code named NESTOR , fielding 17,000 units initially . Eventually 30,000 units were produced . However limitations of the units , including poor voice quality , reduced range , annoying time delays and logistical support issues led to only one unit in ten being used . While many in the U.S. military believed that the Viet Cong and NVA would not be able to exploit insecure communications , interrogation of captured communication intelligence units showed they were able to understand the jargon and codes used in realtime and were often able to warn their side of impending U.S. actions . Extent of U.S. bombings See also : Operation Rolling Thunder , Operation Menu , Operation Freedom Deal , and CIA activities in Laos Bombs being dropped by the B - 52 Stratofortress long - range strategic bomber The U.S. dropped over 7 million tons of bombs on Indochina during the war -- more than triple the 2.1 million tons of bombs the U.S. dropped on Europe and Asia during all of World War II , and more than ten times the amount dropped by the U.S. during the Korean War . 500 thousand tons were dropped on Cambodia , 1 million tons were dropped on North Vietnam , and 4 million tons were dropped on South Vietnam . On a per capita basis , the 2 million tons dropped on Laos make it the most heavily bombed country in history ; The New York Times noted this was `` nearly a ton for every person in Laos . '' Due to the particularly heavy impact of cluster bombs during this war , Laos was a strong advocate of the Convention on Cluster Munitions to ban the weapons , and was host to the First Meeting of States Parties to the convention in November 2010 . Former U.S. Air Force official Earl Tilford has recounted `` repeated bombing runs of a lake in central Cambodia . The B - 52s literally dropped their payloads in the lake '' : The Air Force ran many missions of this kind for the purpose of securing additional funding during budget negotiations , so the amount of tonnage expended does not directly correlate with the resulting damage . Aftermath Events in Southeast Asia Further information : Mayaguez incident and Indochina refugee crisis Vietnamese refugees fleeing Vietnam , 1984 On 2 July 1976 , North and South Vietnam were merged to form the Socialist Republic of Vietnam . Despite speculation that the victorious North Vietnamese would , in President Nixon 's words , `` massacre the civilians there ( South Vietnam ) by the millions , '' there is a widespread consensus that no mass executions in fact took place . However , in the years following the war , a vast number of South Vietnamese was sent to re-education camps where many endured torture , starvation , and disease while being forced to perform hard labor . According to Amnesty International Report 1979 , this figure varied considerably depend on different observers : `` ( ... ) included such figures as `` 50,000 to 80,000 '' ( Le Monde , 19 April 1978 ) , `` 150,000 '' ( Reuter from Bien Hoa , 2 November 1977 ) , `` 150,000 to 200,000 '' ( Washington Post , 20 December 1978 ) , and `` 300,000 '' ( Agence France Presse from Hanoi , 12 February 1978 ) . '' These large variation may be due to `` Some estimates may include not only detainees but also people sent from the cities to the countryside . '' According to a native observer , there were 443.360 people who had to register for a period in re-education camps in Saigon alone , some of them were released after a few days , while others stayed there for more than a decade . A B - 52 wreckage site near the B - 52 Victory Museum , Hanoi . Downed during Operation Linebacker II , its remains have turned into a war monument . Gabriel García Márquez , a Nobel Prize winner writer , described South Vietnam as a `` False paradise '' after the war , when he visited this country in 1980 : `` The cost of this delirium was stupefying : 360,000 people mutilated , a million widows , 500,000 prostitutes , 500,000 drug addicts , a million tuberculous and more than a million soldiers of the old regime , impossible to completely rehabilitate into a new society . Ten percent of the population of Ho Chi Minh City was suffering from serious venereal diseases when the war ended , and there were 4 million illiterates throughout the South . '' The US used its security council veto to block Vietnam 's recognition by the United Nations three times , an obstacle to the country receiving international aid . By 1975 , the Viet Minh had lost influence over the Cambodian communists . Phnom Penh , the capital of Cambodia , fell to the Khmer Rouge on 17 April 1975 . Under the leadership of Pol Pot , the Khmer Rouge would eventually kill 1 -- 3 million Cambodians out of a population of around 8 million , in one of the bloodiest genocides in history . A bombed Buddha statute in Laos . The U.S. bombing campaigns saw the country becoming the single most bombed country in history . The relationship between Vietnam and Cambodia , then ruled by the Khmer Rouge communist party , escalated right after the end of the war , April 1975 . In response to the Khmer Rouge taking over Phu Quoc on 17 April and Tho Chu on 4 May 1975 , and was thought to be their responsibility for the disappearance of 500 Vietnamese natives on Tho Chu , Vietnam launched a counterattack to take back these islands . After several failed attempt to negotiate from both sides , in 1978 , Vietnam invaded Democratic Kampuchea ( Cambodia ) and outed the Khmer Rouge , who were being supported by China , in the Cambodian -- Vietnamese War . In response , China invaded Vietnam in 1979 . The two countries fought a brief border war , known as the Sino - Vietnamese War . From 1978 to 1979 , some 450,000 ethnic Chinese left Vietnam by boat as refugees or were expelled . The Pathet Lao overthrew the monarchy of Laos in December 1975 , establishing the Lao People 's Democratic Republic under the leadership of a member of the royal family , Souphanouvong . The change in regime was `` quite peaceful , a sort of Asiatic ' velvet revolution ' '' -- although 30,000 former officials were sent to reeducation camps , often enduring harsh conditions for several years . The conflict between Hmong rebels and the Pathet Lao continued in isolated pockets . The millions of cluster bombs the US dropped on Southeast Asia rendered the landscape hazardous . In Laos alone , some 80 million bombs failed to explode and remain scattered throughout the country , rendering vast swathes of land impossible to cultivate and killing or maiming 50 Laotians every year . It is estimated that the explosive that still remains buried in the ground will not be removed entirely until the next few centuries . Over 3 million people left Vietnam , Laos , and Cambodia in the Indochina refugee crisis . Most Asian countries were unwilling to accept these refugees , many of whom fled by boat and were known as boat people . Between 1975 and 1998 , an estimated 1.2 million refugees from Vietnam and other Southeast Asian countries resettled in the United States , while Canada , Australia , and France resettled over 500,000 . China accepted 250,000 people . Of all the countries of Indochina , Laos experienced the largest refugee flight in proportional terms , as 300,000 people out of a total population of 3 million crossed the border into Thailand . Included among their ranks were `` about 90 percent '' of Laos 's `` intellectuals , technicians , and officials . '' An estimated 200,000 to 400,000 Vietnamese boat people died at sea , according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees . Captured U.S. - supplied armored vehicles and artillery pieces Agent Orange and similar chemical substances used by the U.S. have also caused a considerable number of deaths and injuries in the intervening years , including among the US Air Force crew that handled them . Scientific reports have concluded that refugees exposed to chemical sprays while in South Vietnam continued to experience pain in the eyes and skin as well as gastrointestinal upsets . In one study , ninety - two percent of participants suffered incessant fatigue ; others reported monstrous births . Meta - analyses of the most current studies on the association between Agent Orange and birth defects have concluded that there is a statistically significant correlation such that having a parent who was exposed to Agent Orange at any point in their life will increase one 's likelihood of either possessing or acting as a genetic carrier of birth defects . The most common deformation appears to be spina bifida . There is substantial evidence that the birth defects carry on for three generations or more . In 2012 , the United States and Vietnam began a cooperative cleaning up of the toxic chemical on part of Danang International Airport , marking the first time Washington has been involved in cleaning up Agent Orange in Vietnam . Effect on the United States Views on the War United States expenditures in South Vietnam ( SVN ) ( 1953 -- 1974 ) Direct costs only . Some estimates are higher . U.S. military costs U.S. military aid to SVN U.S. economic aid to SVN Total Total ( 2015 dollars ) $111 billion $16.138 billion $7.315 billion $134.53 billion $1.020 trillion In the post-war era , Americans struggled to absorb the lessons of the military intervention . As General Maxwell Taylor , one of the principal architects of the war , noted , `` First , we did n't know ourselves . We thought that we were going into another Korean War , but this was a different country . Secondly , we did n't know our South Vietnamese allies ... And we knew less about North Vietnam . Who was Ho Chi Minh ? Nobody really knew . So , until we know the enemy and know our allies and know ourselves , we 'd better keep out of this kind of dirty business . It 's very dangerous . '' President Ronald Reagan coined the term `` Vietnam Syndrome '' to describe the reluctance of the American public and politicians to support further international interventions after Vietnam . According to a 2004 Gallup poll , 62 percent of Americans believed it was an unjust war . US public polling in 1978 reveal nearly 72 % of Americans believing the war was `` fundamentally wrong and immoral '' , nearly a decade later the number reduced to 66 % and by 1985 to 2000 surveys consistently show 34 -- 35 % believing the war was fundamentally wrong and immoral . Nearly a third of Americans believed the war was a noble cause when surveyed in 2000 . A young Marine private waits on the beach during the Marine landing , Da Nang , 3 August 1965 Failure of the war is often placed at different institutions and levels . Some have suggested that the failure of the war was due to political failures of U.S. leadership . The official history of the United States Army noted that `` tactics have often seemed to exist apart from larger issues , strategies , and objectives . Yet in Vietnam the Army experienced tactical success and strategic failure ... success rests not only on military progress but on correctly analysing the nature of the particular conflict , understanding the enemy 's strategy , and assessing the strengths and weaknesses of allies . A new humility and a new sophistication may form the best parts of a complex heritage left to the Army by the long , bitter war in Vietnam . '' Others point to a failure of U.S. military doctrine . Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara stated that `` the achievement of a military victory by U.S. forces in Vietnam was indeed a dangerous illusion . '' The inability to bring Hanoi to the bargaining table by bombing also illustrated another U.S. miscalculation , and demonstrated the limitations of U.S. military abilities in achieving political goals . As Army Chief of Staff Harold Keith Johnson noted , `` if anything came out of Vietnam , it was that air power could n't do the job . '' Even General William Westmoreland admitted that the bombing had been ineffective . As he remarked , `` I still doubt that the North Vietnamese would have relented . '' U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger wrote in a secret memo to President Gerald Ford that `` in terms of military tactics , we can not help draw the conclusion that our armed forces are not suited to this kind of war . Even the Special Forces who had been designed for it could not prevail . '' Hanoi had persistently sought unification of the country since the Geneva Accords , and the effects of U.S. bombings had negligible diplomatic impacts on the goals of the North Vietnamese government . The effects of U.S. bombing campaigns had mobilised the people throughout North Vietnam and mobilised international support for North Vietnam due to the perception of a super-power attempting to bomb a significantly smaller , agrarian society into submission . The Vietnam War POW / MIA issue , concerning the fate of U.S. service personnel listed as missing in action , persisted for many years after the war 's conclusion . The costs of the war loom large in American popular consciousness ; a 1990 poll showed that the public incorrectly believed that more Americans lost their lives in Vietnam than in World War II . Cost of the War Between 1953 and 1975 , the United States was estimated to have spent $168 billion on the war ( $1.02 trillion in FY2015 dollars ) . This resulted in a large federal budget deficit . Other figures point to $138.9 billion from 1965 to 1974 ( not inflation - adjusted ) , ten times the amount of support for all education spending in the US and 50 times more than housing and community development spending within that time period . General record - keeping was reported to have been sloppy for government spending during the war . It was stated that war - spending could have paid off every mortgage in the US at that time , with money leftover . More than 3 million Americans served in the Vietnam War , some 1.5 million of whom actually saw combat in Vietnam . James E. Westheider wrote that `` At the height of American involvement in 1968 , for example , there were 543,000 American military personnel in Vietnam , but only 80,000 were considered combat troops . '' Conscription in the United States had been controlled by the president since World War II , but ended in 1973 . As of 2013 , the U.S. government is paying Vietnam veterans and their families or survivors more than $22 billion a year in war - related claims . Impact on the U.S. military Marine gets his wounds treated during operations in Huế City , 1968 By war 's end , 58,220 American soldiers had been killed , more than 150,000 had been wounded , and at least 21,000 had been permanently disabled . The average age of the U.S. troops killed in Vietnam was 23.11 years . According to Dale Kueter , `` Of those killed in combat , 86.3 percent were white , 12.5 percent were black and the remainder from other races . '' Approximately 830,000 Vietnam veterans suffered some degree of posttraumatic stress disorder . An estimated 125,000 Americans left for Canada to avoid the Vietnam draft , and approximately 50,000 American servicemen deserted . In 1977 , United States president Jimmy Carter granted a full and unconditional pardon to all Vietnam - era draft dodgers . As the Vietnam War continued inconclusively and became more unpopular with the American public , morale declined and disciplinary problems grew among American enlisted men and junior , non-career officers . Drug use , racial tensions , and the growing incidence of fragging -- attempting to kill unpopular officers and non-commissioned officers with grenades or other weapons -- created severe problems for the U.S. military and impacted its capability of undertaking combat operations . By 1971 , a U.S. Army colonel writing in the Armed Forces Journal declared : `` By every conceivable indicator , our army that now remains in Vietnam is in a state approaching collapse , with individual units avoiding or having refused combat , murdering their officers and non commissioned officers , drug - ridden , and dispirited where not near mutinous ... The morale , discipline , and battle - worthiness of the U.S. Armed Forces are , with a few salient exceptions , lower and worse than at any time in this century and possibly in the history of the United States . '' Between 1969 and 1971 the U.S. Army recorded more than 700 attacks by troops on their own officers . Eighty - three officers were killed and almost 650 were injured . Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara and General Westmoreland talks with General Tee on condition of the war in Vietnam . The Vietnam War called into question the U.S. Army doctrine . Marine Corps General Victor H. Krulak heavily criticised Westmoreland 's attrition strategy , calling it `` wasteful of American lives ... with small likelihood of a successful outcome . '' In addition , doubts surfaced about the ability of the military to train foreign forces . Furthermore , throughout the war there was found to be considerable flaws and dishonesty by officers and commanders due to promotions being tied to the body count system touted by Westmoreland and McNamara . Ron Milam has questioned the severity of the `` breakdown '' of the U.S. armed forces , especially among combat troops , as reflecting the opinions of `` angry colonels '' who deplored the erosion of traditional military values during the Vietnam War . Although acknowledging serious problems , he questions the alleged `` near mutinous '' conduct of junior officers and enlisted men in combat . Investigating one combat refusal incident , a journalist declared , `` A certain sense of independence , a reluctance to behave according to the military 's insistence on obedience , like pawns or puppets ... The grunts ( infantrymen ) were determined to survive ... they insisted of having something to say about the making of decisions that determined whether they might live or die . '' The morale and discipline problems and resistance to conscription ( the draft ) were important factors leading to the creation of an all - volunteer military force by the United States and the termination of conscription . The last conscript was inducted into the army in 1973 . The all - volunteer military moderated some of the coercive methods of discipline previously used to maintain order in military ranks . Effects of U.S. chemical defoliation U.S. helicopter spraying chemical defoliants in the Mekong Delta , South Vietnam , 1969 One of the most controversial aspects of the U.S. military effort in Southeast Asia was the widespread use of chemical defoliants between 1961 and 1971 . They were used to defoliate large parts of the countryside to prevent the Viet Cong from being able to hide their weapons and encampments under the foliage . These chemicals continue to change the landscape , cause diseases and birth defects , and poison the food chain . Early in the American military effort , it was decided that since the enemy were hiding their activities under triple - canopy jungle , a useful first step might be to defoliate certain areas . This was especially true of growth surrounding bases ( both large and small ) in what became known as Operation Ranch Hand . Corporations like Dow Chemical Company and Monsanto were given the task of developing herbicides for this purpose . American officials also pointed out that the British had previously used 2 , 4 , 5 - T and 2 , 4 - D ( virtually identical to America 's use in Vietnam ) on a large scale throughout the Malayan Emergency in the 1950s in order to destroy bushes , crops , and trees in effort to deny communist insurgents the concealment they needed to ambush passing convoys . Indeed , Secretary of State Dean Rusk told President John F. Kennedy on 24 November 1961 , that `` ( t ) he use of defoliant does not violate any rule of international law concerning the conduct of chemical warfare and is an accepted tactic of war . Precedent has been established by the British during the emergency in Malaya in their use of aircraft for destroying crops by chemical spraying . '' Handicapped children in Vietnam , most of them victims of Agent Orange , 2004 The defoliants , which were distributed in drums marked with color - coded bands , included the `` Rainbow Herbicides '' -- Agent Pink , Agent Green , Agent Purple , Agent Blue , Agent White , and most famously , Agent Orange , which included dioxin as a byproduct of its manufacture . About 11 -- 12 million gallons ( 41.6 -- 45.4 million L ) of Agent Orange were sprayed over southern Vietnam between 1961 and 1971 . A prime area of Ranch Hand operations was in the Mekong Delta , where the U.S. Navy patrol boats were vulnerable to attack from the undergrowth at the water 's edge . In 1961 and 1962 , the Kennedy administration authorized the use of chemicals to destroy rice crops . Between 1961 and 1967 , the U.S. Air Force sprayed 20 million U.S. gallons ( 75,700,000 L ) of concentrated herbicides over 6 million acres ( 24,000 km ) of crops and trees , affecting an estimated 13 % of South Vietnam 's land . In 1965 , 42 % of all herbicide was sprayed over food crops . Another purpose of herbicide use was to drive civilian populations into RVN - controlled areas . Vietnamese victims affected by Agent Orange attempted a class action lawsuit against Dow Chemical and other U.S. chemical manufacturers , but District Court Judge Jack B. Weinstein dismissed their case . They appealed , but the dismissal was cemented in February 2008 by the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit . As of 2006 , the Vietnamese government estimates that there are over 4,000,000 victims of dioxin poisoning in Vietnam , although the United States government denies any conclusive scientific links between Agent Orange and the Vietnamese victims of dioxin poisoning . In some areas of southern Vietnam , dioxin levels remain at over 100 times the accepted international standard . In 2006 , Anh Duc Ngo and colleagues of the University of Texas Health Science Center published a meta - analysis that exposed a large amount of heterogeneity ( different findings ) between studies , a finding consistent with a lack of consensus on the issue on the effect of Agent Orange in Vietnam . Despite this , statistical analysis of the studies they examined resulted in data that the increase in birth defects / relative risk ( RR ) from exposure to agent orange / dioxin `` appears '' to be on the order of 3 in Vietnamese - funded studies , but 1.29 in the rest of the world . There is data near the threshold of statistical significance suggesting Agent Orange contributes to still - births , cleft palate , and neural tube defects , with spina bifida being the most statistically significant defect . The large discrepancy in RR between Vietnamese studies and those in the rest of the world has been ascribed to bias in the Vietnamese studies . The U.S. Veterans Administration has listed prostate cancer , respiratory cancers , multiple myeloma , Diabetes mellitus type 2 , B - cell lymphomas , soft - tissue sarcoma , chloracne , porphyria cutanea tarda , peripheral neuropathy , and spina bifida in children of veterans exposed to Agent Orange .

After 1975 7 n.a. Total 58,220 > 254,256 Estimates of the number of casualties vary , with one source suggesting up to 3.8 million violent war deaths in Vietnam for the period 1955 to 2002 . A detailed demographic study calculated 791,000 -- 1,141,000 war - related deaths during the war for all of Vietnam , for both military and civilians . Between 195,000 and 430,000 South Vietnamese civilians died in the war . Extrapolating from a 1969 US intelligence report , Guenter Lewy estimated 65,000 North Vietnamese civilians died in the war . Estimates of civilian deaths caused by American bombing of North Vietnam in Operation Rolling Thunder range from 30,000 to 182,000 . A 1974 US Senate subcommittee estimates nearly 1.4 million civilians killed and wounded between 1965 and 1974 , and attributed over half as resulting from US and South Vietnamese military action . The military forces of South Vietnam suffered an estimated 254,256 killed between 1960 and 1974 and additional deaths from 1954 to 1959 and in 1975 . Other estimates point to higher figures of 313,000 casualties . The official US Department of Defense figure was 950,765 PAVN / NLF forces killed in Vietnam from 1965 to 1974 . Defense Department officials believed that these body count figures need to be deflated by 30 percent . In addition , Guenter Lewy assumes that one - third of the reported `` enemy '' killed may have been civilians , concluding that the actual number of deaths of PAVN / PLAF military forces was probably closer to 444,000 . According to figures from internal PAVN / PLAF figures released by the Vietnamese government there was 849,018 military deaths on the PAVN / NLF side during the war . The Vietnamese government released its estimate of war deaths for the more lengthy period of 1955 to 1975 . This figure includes battle deaths of Vietnamese soldiers in Laotian Civil War and Cambodian Civil War in which the PAVN was a major participant and 30 -- 40 % of the figure are non-combat deaths , but does not include deaths of South Vietnamese and allied soldiers . US reports of `` enemy KIA '' , referred to as body count were thought to have been subject to `` falsification and glorification '' , and a true estimate of PAVN / NLF combat deaths may be difficult to assess , as US victories were assessed by having a `` greater kill ratio '' . It was difficult to distinguish between civilians and military personnel on the Viet Cong side as many persons were part - time guerrillas or impressed labourers who did not wear uniforms and civilians actually killed were oftentimes written off as enemy KIA . MACV operation rarely made a distinction between unarmed civilians and combatants , there was drastic inflation of enemy casualties since it was directly tied to promotions and commendation . Between 275,000 and 310,000 Cambodians were estimated to have died during the war including between 40,000 and 150,000 combatants and civilians from US bombings . 20,000 -- 62,000 Laotians also died , and 58,318 U.S. military personnel were killed , of which 1,598 are still listed as missing as of 2018 . Unexploded ordnance , mostly from U.S. bombing , continue to detonate and kill people today . According to the Vietnamese government , ordnance has killed some 42,000 people since the war officially ended . According to the government of Laos , unexploded ordnance has killed or injured over 20,000 Laotians since the end of the war . Casualties from Agent Orange exposure is not known currently . Stone plaque with photo of the `` Thương tiếc '' ( Mourning Soldier ) statue , originally , installed at the Republic of Vietnam National Military Cemetery in Bien Hoa . The original statue was demolished in April 1975 . In popular culture The Vietnam War has been featured extensively in television , film , video games , music and literature in the participant countries . In Vietnam , one notable film set during Operation Linebacker II was the film Girl from Hanoi ( 1975 ) depicting war - time life in Hanoi . Another notable work was the diary of Đặng Thùy Trâm , a Vietnamese doctor who enlisted in the Southern battlefield , and was killed at the age of 27 by US forces near Quảng Ngãi . Her diaries were later published in Vietnam as Đặng Thùy Trâm 's Diary ( Last Night I Dreamed Of Peace ) , where it became a best - seller and was later made into a film Do n't Burn ( Đừng Đốt ) . In Vietnam the diary has often been compared to The Diary of Anne Frank and both are used in literary education . Another Vietnamese film produced was The Abandoned Field : Free Fire Zone ( Cánh đồng hoang ) in 1979 which weaves the narrative of living on the ground in a US `` free - fire zone '' as well as perspectives from US helicopters . In American popular culture , the `` Crazy Vietnam Veteran '' , who was suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder , became a common stock character after the war . One of the first major films based on the Vietnam War was John Wayne 's pro-war film , The Green Berets ( 1968 ) . Further cinematic representations were released during the 1970s and 1980s , including Michael Cimino 's The Deer Hunter ( 1978 ) , Francis Ford Coppola 's Apocalypse Now ( 1979 ) , Oliver Stone 's Platoon ( 1986 ) -- based on his service in the U.S. military during the Vietnam War , Stanley Kubrick 's Full Metal Jacket ( 1987 ) , Hamburger Hill ( 1987 ) , Born on the Fourth of July ( 1989 ) , and Casualties of War ( 1989 ) . Later films would include We Were Soldiers ( 2002 ) and Rescue Dawn ( 2007 ) . The war also influenced a generation of musicians and songwriters in Vietnam and the United States , both anti-war and pro / anti-communist . The band Country Joe and the Fish recorded `` I - Feel - Like - I 'm - Fixin ' - To - Die Rag '' / The `` Fish '' Cheer in 1965 , and it became one of the most influential anti-Vietnam protest anthems . Many songwriters and musicians supported the anti-war movement , including Pete Seeger , Joan Baez , Peggy Seeger , Ewan MacColl , Barbara Dane , The Critics Group , Phil Ochs , John Lennon , Nina Simone , Neil Young , Tom Paxton , Jimmy Cliff and Arlo Guthrie . The war is also depicted in popular video games , especially in first - person shooter war genre , such as Line of Sight : Vietnam ( 2003 ) , Vietcong ( 2003 ) , Battlefield Vietnam ( 2004 ) , Vietcong : Fist Alpha ( 2004 ) , Elite Warriors : Vietnam ( 2005 ) , The Hell in Vietnam ( 2008 ) , Battlefield : Bad Company 2 : Vietnam ( 2010 ) , Call of Duty : Black Ops ( 2010 ) , Call of Duty : Black Ops : Declassified ( 2012 ) , Rising Storm 2 : Vietnam ( 2017 ) , and in Far Cry 5 ( 2018 ) as an additional content . The war also saw depiction in another genre , in the form of third - person shooter , MMORPG , real - time strategy and role - playing , such as Rambo : First Blood Part II ( 1985 ) , Caliber . 50 ( 1989 ) , Vietcong 2 ( 2005 ) , Made Man ( 2006 ) , Gunboat ( 1990 ) and Strike Fighters 2 : Vietnam ( 2009 ) . Myths Myths play a central role in the historiography of the Vietnam War , and have become a part of the culture of the United States . Much like the general historiography of the war , discussion of myth has focused on US experiences ; but , changing myths of war have also played a role in Vietnamese and Australian historiography . Recent scholarship has focused on `` myth - busting '' , attacking the previous orthodox and revisionist schools of American historiography of the Vietnam War . This scholarship challenges myths about American society and soldiery in the Vietnam War . Kuzmarov in The Myth of the Addicted Army : Vietnam and the Modern War on Drugs challenges the popular and Hollywood narrative that US soldiers were heavy drug users , and in particular destroys the concept that the My Lai massacre was caused by drug use . According to Kuzmarov , Richard Nixon is primarily responsible for creating the drug myth . Michael Allen in Until The Last Man Comes Home also accuses Nixon of myth making , by exploiting the plight of the League of Wives of American Prisoners in Vietnam and the National League of Families of American Prisoners and Missing in Southeast Asia to allow the government to appear caring as the war was increasingly considered lost . Allen 's analysis ties the position of potential missing or prisoner Americans into post-war politics and recent presidential elections , including the Swift boat controversy in US electoral politics . Commemoration On May 25 , 2012 , President Barack Obama issued a proclamation of the commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War . On November 10 , 2017 , President Donald Trump issued an additional proclamation commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War .

In 1998 , after a high level review by the Department of Defense ( DoD ) and through the efforts of Richard B. Fitzgibbon 's family the start date of the Vietnam War according to the US government was officially changed to 1 November 1955 . U.S. government reports currently cite 1 November 1955 as the commencement date of the `` Vietnam Conflict '' , because this date marked when the U.S. Military Assistance Advisory Group ( MAAG ) in Indochina ( deployed to Southeast Asia under President Truman ) was reorganized into country - specific units and MAAG Vietnam was established . Other start dates include when Hanoi authorized Viet Cong forces in South Vietnam to begin a low - level insurgency in December 1956 , whereas some view 26 September 1959 , when the first battle occurred between the Viet Cong and the South Vietnamese army , as the start date . ^ Jump up to : The figures of 58,220 and 303,644 for U.S. deaths and wounded come from the Department of Defense Statistical Information Analysis Division ( SIAD ) , Defense Manpower Data Center , as well as from a Department of Veterans fact sheet dated May 2010 ; the total is 153,303 WIA excluding 150,341 persons not requiring hospital care the CRS ( Congressional Research Service ) Report for Congress , American War and Military Operations Casualties : Lists and Statistics , dated 26 February 2010 , and the book Crucible Vietnam : Memoir of an Infantry Lieutenant . Some other sources give different figures ( e.g. the 2005 / 2006 documentary Heart of Darkness : The Vietnam War Chronicles 1945 -- 1975 cited elsewhere in this article gives a figure of 58,159 U.S. deaths , and the 2007 book Vietnam Sons gives a figure of 58,226 ) Jump up ^ The Military Assistance Advisory Group , Indochina ( with an authorized strength of 128 men ) was set up in September 1950 with a mission to oversee the use and distribution of US military equipment by the French and their allies .

The Tunku had been personally responsible for Malaya 's partisan support of the South Vietnamese regime in its fight against the Vietcong and , in reply to a Parliamentary question on 6 February 1962 , he had listed all the used weapons and equipment of the Royal Malaya Police given to Saigon . These included a total of 45,707 single - barrel shotguns , 611 armoured cars and smaller numbers of carbines and pistols . Writing in 1975 , he revealed that `` we had clandestinely been giving ' aid ' to Vietnam since early 1958 . Published American archival sources now reveal that the actual Malaysian contributions to the war effort in Vietnam included the following : `` over 5,000 Vietnamese officers trained in Malaysia ; training of 150 U.S. soldiers in handling Tracker Dogs ; a rather impressive list of military equipment and weapons given to Viet - Nam after the end of the Malaysian insurgency ( for example , 641 armored personnel carriers , 56,000 shotguns ) ; and a creditable amount of civil assistance ( transportation equipment , cholera vaccine , and flood relief ) '' . It is undeniable that the Government 's policy of supporting the South Vietnamese regime with arms , equipment and training was regarded by some quarters , especially the Opposition parties , as a form of interfering in the internal affairs of that country and the Tunku 's valiant efforts to defend it were not convincing enough , from a purely foreign policy standpoint .

Vu Tuong : There is no reason to expect , and no evidence that I have seen to demonstrate , that the actual executions were less than planned ; in fact the executions perhaps exceeded the plan if we consider two following factors . First , this decree was issued in 1953 for the rent and interest reduction campaign that preceded the far more radical land redistribution and party rectification campaigns ( or waves ) that followed during 1954 -- 1956 . Second , the decree was meant to apply to free areas ( under the control of the Viet Minh government ) , not to the areas under French control that would be liberated in 1954 -- 1955 and that would experience a far more violent struggle . Thus the number of 13,500 executed people seems to be a low - end estimate of the real number . This is corroborated by Edwin Moise in his recent paper `` Land Reform in North Vietnam , 1953 -- 1956 '' presented at the 18th Annual Conference on SE Asian Studies , Center for SE Asian Studies , University of California , Berkeley ( February 2001 ) . In this paper Moise ( 7 -- 9 ) modified his earlier estimate in his 1983 book ( which was 5,000 ) and accepted an estimate close to 15,000 executions . Moise made the case based on Hungarian reports provided by Balazs , but the document I cited above offers more direct evidence for his revised estimate . This document also suggests that the total number should be adjusted up some more , taking into consideration the later radical phase of the campaign , the unauthorized killings at the local level , and the suicides following arrest and torture ( the central government bore less direct responsibility for these cases , however ) . cf .

A study by Jacqueline Desbarats and Karl D. Jackson estimated that 65,000 South Vietnamese were executed for political reasons between 1975 and 1983 , based on a survey of 615 Vietnamese refugees who claimed to have personally witnessed 47 executions . However , `` their methodology was reviewed and criticized as invalid by authors Gareth Porter and James Roberts . '' 16 of the 47 names used to extrapolate this `` bloodbath '' were duplicates ; this extremely high duplication rate ( 34 % ) strongly suggests Desbarats and Jackson were drawing from a small number of total executions . Rather than arguing that this duplication rate proves there were very few executions in post-war Vietnam , Porter and Roberts suggest it is an artifact of the self - selected nature of the participants in the Desbarats - Jackson study , as the authors followed subjects 's recommendations on other refugees to interview .

Originally it referred only to those competitions held in the Spanish championship , but nowadays the term has been generalized , and tends to include every single match between the two clubs : UEFA Champions League , Copa del Rey , etc . Other than the UEFA Champions League Final , it is considered one of the biggest club football games in the world , and is among the most viewed annual sporting events . The match is known for its intensity . The rivalry comes about as Madrid and Barcelona are the two largest cities in Spain , and they are sometimes identified with opposing political positions , with Real Madrid viewed as representing Spanish nationalism and Barcelona viewed as representing Catalan nationalism . The rivalry is regarded as one of the biggest in world sport . The two clubs are among the richest and most successful football clubs in the world ; in 2014 Forbes ranked them the world 's two most valuable sports teams . Both clubs have a global fanbase ; they are the world 's two most followed sports teams on social media . Real Madrid leads the head to head results in competitive matches with 95 wins to Barcelona 's 91 , while Barcelona leads in total matches with 111 wins to Real Madrid 's 99 .

Camp Nou , home of FC Barcelona , hosted its first Clásico in 1958 . The conflict between Real Madrid and Barcelona has long surpassed the sporting dimension , so that elections to the clubs ' presidencies are strongly politicized . As early as the 1930s , Barcelona `` had developed a reputation as a symbol of Catalan identity , opposed to the centralising tendencies of Madrid '' . In 1936 , when Francisco Franco started the Coup d'état against the democratic Second Spanish Republic , the president of Barcelona , Josep Sunyol , member of the Republican Left of Catalonia and Deputy to The Cortes , was arrested and executed without trial by Franco 's troops ( Sunyol was exercising his political activities , visiting Republican troops north of Madrid ) . Barcelona was on top of the list of organizations to be purged by the National faction , just after communists , anarchists , and independentists . During the Franco dictatorship , most citizens of Barcelona were in strong opposition to the fascist - like régime . Phil Ball , the author of Morbo : The Story of Spanish Football , says about the match ; `` they hate each other with an intensity that can truly shock the outsider '' . During the dictatorships of Miguel Primo de Rivera and of Francisco Franco , all regional languages and identities in Spain were frowned upon and restrained . In this period , Barcelona gained their motto Més que un club ( English : More than a club ) because of its alleged connection to Catalan nationalist as well as to progressive beliefs . During Franco 's regime , however , Barcelona was granted profit due to its good relationship with the dictator at management level , even giving two awards to him . The links between senior Real Madrid representatives and the Francoist regime were undeniable ; for most of the Catalans , Real Madrid was regarded as `` the establishment club '' , despite the fact that presidents of both clubs like Josep Sunyol and Rafael Sánchez Guerra , suffered at the hands of Franco 's supporters in the Spanish Civil War . The image for both clubs was further affected by the creation of Ultras groups , some of which became hooligans . In 1980 , Ultras Sur was founded as a far - right - leaning Real Madrid ultras group , followed in 1981 by the foundation of the initially left - leaning and later on far - right , Barcelona ultras group Boixos Nois . Both groups became known for their violent acts , and one of the most conflictive factions of Barcelona supporters , the Casuals , became a full - fledged criminal organisation . For many people , Barcelona is still considered as `` the rebellious club '' , or the alternative pole to `` Real Madrid 's conservatism '' . According to polls released by CIS ( Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas ) , Real Madrid is the favorite team of most of the Spanish residents , while Barcelona stands in the second position . In Catalonia , forces of all the political spectrum are overwhelmingly in favour of Barcelona . Nevertheless , the support of the blaugrana club goes far beyond from that region , earning its best results among young people , sustainers of a federal structure of Spain and citizens with left - wing ideology , in contrast with Real Madrid fans which politically tend to adopt right - wing views . 1943 Copa del Generalísimo semi-finals On 13 June 1943 , Real Madrid beat Barcelona 11 -- 1 at home in the second leg of a semi-final of the Copa del Generalísimo , the Copa del Rey having been renamed in honour of General Franco . The first leg , played at Barcelona 's Les Corts stadium in Catalonia , had ended with Barcelona winning 3 -- 0 . Madrid complained about all the three goals that referee Fombona Fernández had allowed for Barcelona , with the home supporters also whistling Madrid throughout , whom they accused of employing roughhouse tactics , and Fombona for allowing them to . A campaign began in Madrid . Barcelona player Josep Valle recalled : `` The press officer at the DND and ABC newspaper wrote all sorts of scurrilous lies , really terrible things , winding up the Madrid fans like never before '' . While former Real Madrid goalkeeper Eduardo Teus , who admitted that Madrid had `` above all played hard '' , wrote in a newspaper : `` the ground itself made Madrid concede two of the three goals , goals that were totally unfair '' . Barcelona fans were banned from traveling to Madrid . Real Madrid released a statement after the match which former club president ( 1985 -- 1995 ) Ramón Mendoza explained , `` The message got through that those fans who wanted to could go to El Club bar on Calle de la Victoria where Madrid 's social center was . There , they were given a whistle . Others had whistles handed to them with their tickets . '' The day of the second leg , the Barcelona team were insulted and stones were thrown at their bus as soon as they left their hotel . Barcelona 's striker Mariano Gonzalvo said of the incedent , `` Five minutes before the game had started , our penalty area was already full of coins . '' Barcelona goalkeeper Lluis Miró rarely approached his line -- when he did , he was armed with stones . As Francisco Calvet told the story , `` They were shouting : Reds ! Separatists ! ... a bottle just missed Sospedra that would have killed him if it had hit him . It was all set up . '' Down in the Barcelona dugout , Ángel Mur who watched events unfold , stated , `` When I took up my place on the bench , a policeman came up to me and said ' Today you 're going to lose ' ... another armed police lieutenant spent the whole game calling me a Catalan dog and a red separatist . When I got up to treat an injured player , he grabbed me and told me to sit back down again . At which point , Piñeyro intervened . '' The policeman told the Barcelona president to shut up or he would be arrested . Piñeyro was assaulted by Madrid fans . Real Madrid went 2 -- 0 up within half an hour . The third goal brought with it a sending off for Barcelona 's Benito García after he made what Calvet claimed was a `` completely normal tackle '' . Madrid 's José Llopis Corona recalled , `` At which point , they got a bit demoralized , '' while Mur countered , `` at which point , we thought : ' go on then , score as many as you want ' . '' Madrid scored in minutes 31 ' , 33 ' , 35 ' , 39 ' , 43 ' and 44 ' , as well as two goals ruled out for offside , made it 8 -- 0 . Basilo de la Morena had been caught out by the speed of the goals . At half - time , Barcelona 's players decided that they were not going out for the second half . According to an interview Valle and Calvet gave to La Vanguardia in May 2000 , a colonel appeared in the dressing room and said , `` Go back out on to the pitch or you 're all going to jail . '' Calvet later added an important detail when he told the story to his biographer Guillem Gómez , noting that when he questioned why there were not more police on duty given the atmosphere , he was told , `` Shut up , obey , go out there and play ... and lose ! . '' Juan Antonio Samaranch , former Spanish minister of sports and International Olympic Committee ( IOC ) president , wrote , `` Barcelona did not exist and the same would have happened to any team . In that atmosphere and with a referee who wanted to avoid any complications , it was humanly impossible to play ... If the azulgranas had played badly , really badly , the scoreboard would still not have reached that astronomical figure . The point is that they did not play at all . '' Both clubs were fined 2,500 pesetas by the Royal Spanish Football Federation and , although Barcelona appealed , it made no difference . Piñeyro resigned in protest , complaining of `` a campaign that the press has run against Barcelona for a week and which culminated in the shameful day at Chamartín '' . The match report in the newspaper La Prensa described Barcelona 's only goal as a `` reminder that there was a team there who knew how to play football and that if they did not do so that afternoon , it was not exactly their fault '' . Another newspaper called the scoreline `` as absurd as it was abnormal '' . According to football writer Sid Lowe , `` There have been relatively few mentions of the game ( since ) and it is not a result that has been particularly celebrated in Madrid . Indeed , the 11 -- 1 occupies a far more prominent place in Barcelona 's history . This was the game that first formed the identification of Madrid as the team of the dictatorship and Barcelona as its victims . '' Fernando Argila , Barcelona 's reserve goalkeeper from the game , said , `` There was no rivalry . Not , at least , until that game . '' Di Stéfano transfer Alfredo Di Stéfano 's controversial 1953 transfer to Real Madrid instead of Barcelona intensified the rivalry . The rivalry was intensified during the 1950s when the clubs disputed the signing of Alfredo Di Stéfano . Di Stéfano had impressed both Barcelona and Real Madrid while playing for Los Millionarios in Bogotá , Colombia , during a players ' strike in his native Argentina . Both Real Madrid and Barcelona attempted to sign him and , due to confusion that emerged from Di Stéfano moving to Millonarios from River Plate following the strike , both clubs claimed to own his registration . After intervention from FIFA representative Muñoz Calero , it was decided that both Barcelona and Real Madrid had to share the player in alternate seasons . Barcelona 's humiliated president was forced to resign by the Barcelona board , with the interim board cancelling Di Stéfano 's contract . This ended the long struggle for Di Stéfano , as he moved definitively to Real Madrid . Di Stéfano became integral in the subsequent success achieved by Real Madrid , scoring twice in his first game against Barcelona . With him , Real Madrid won the initial five European Champions Cup competitions . The 1960s saw the rivalry reach the European stage when they met twice at the European Cup , Real Madrid winning in 1960 and Barcelona winning in 1961 . Final of the bottles On 5 July 1968 , Barcelona beat Real Madrid 1 -- 0 in the Copa del Generalísimo final at the Santiago Bernabéu . Angry about the refereeing , Real Madrid supporters began throwing glass bottles at the referee and at Barcelona players in the last minutes of the match . Antonio Rigo , referee of the final , was accused of being favourable towards Barcelona . He said of the incident , `` After the final of 1968 , I became more ' antimadridista ' , rather than a fan of Barcelona . But for a reason , I noticed that Madrid 's ' hand ' reached far and harmed me ... Barça never offered me anything , not even a badge . However , Antonio Calderón , I think he was Real Madrid 's manager , came to my room in the dugout before the game , and said ' I want to give you a good gift ' . It was Madrid 's custom of giving a golden watch . I guess it was conditioned on the victory of his team because I am still waiting for that gift . '' Regarding the moments of two not - given penalties , he said , `` I did n't see a penalty in Amancio , and Serena stumbled . Serena wanted to deceive me falling when he entered 7mm in the area . '' General Franco handed Barcelona the cup with the pitch full of bottles , hence the name . Luís Figo transfer Luís Figo 's transfer from Barcelona to Real Madrid in 2000 resulted in a hate campaign by some of his former club 's fans . In 2000 , Real Madrid 's then - presidential candidate , Florentino Pérez , offered Barcelona 's vice-captain Luís Figo $2.4 million just to sign an agreement binding him to Madrid if he won the elections . If the player broke the deal , he would have to pay Pérez $30 million in compensation . When his agent confirmed the deal , Figo denied everything , insisting , `` I 'll stay at Barcelona whether Pérez wins or loses . '' He accused the presidential candidate of `` lying '' and `` fantasizing '' . He told Barcelona teammates Luis Enrique and Pep Guardiola he was not leaving and they conveyed the message to the Barcelona squad . On 9 July , Sport ran an interview in which he said , `` I want to send a message of calm to Barcelona 's fans , for whom I always have and always will feel great affection . I want to assure them that Luís Figo will , with absolute certainty , be at the Camp Nou on the 24th to start the new season ... I 've not signed a pre-contract with a presidential candidate at Real Madrid . No . I 'm not so mad as to do a thing like that . '' The only way Barcelona could prevent Figo 's transfer to Real Madrid was to pay the penalty clause , $30 million . That would have effectively meant paying the fifth highest transfer fee in history to sign their own player . Barcelona 's new president , Joan Gaspart , called the media and told them , `` Today , Figo gave me the impression that he wanted to do two things : get richer and stay at Barça . '' Only one of them happened . The following day , 24 July , Figo was presented in Madrid and handed his new shirt by Alfredo Di Stéfano . His buyout clause was set at $180 million . Gaspart later admitted , `` Figo 's move destroyed us . '' On his return to Barcelona in a Real Madrid shirt , banners with `` Judas '' , `` Scum '' and `` Mercenary '' were hung around the stadium . Thousands of fake 10,000 peseta notes had been printed and emblazoned with his image , were among the missiles of oranges , bottles , cigarette lighters , even a couple of mobile phones were thrown at him . In his third season with Real Madrid , the 2002 Clásico at Camp Nou produced one of the defining images of the rivalry . Figo was mercilessly taunted throughout ; missiles of coins , a knife , a whisky bottle , were raining down from the stands , mostly from areas populated by the Boixos Nois where he had been taking a corner . Among the debris was a pig 's head . Recent issues During the last three decades , the rivalry has been augmented by the modern Spanish tradition of the Pasillo , where one team is given the guard of honor by the other team , once the former clinches the La Liga trophy before El Clásico takes place . This has happened in three occasions . First , during El Clásico that took place on 30 April 1988 , where Real Madrid won the championship on the previous round . Then , three years later , when Barcelona won the championship two rounds before El Clásico on 8 June 1991 . The last pasillo , and most recent , took place on 7 May 2008 , and this time Real Madrid had won the championship . The two teams met again in the UEFA Champions League semi-final in 2002 , with Real Madrid winning 2 -- 0 in Barcelona and a 1 -- 1 draw in Madrid . The match was dubbed by Spanish media as the `` Match of the Century '' . In 2005 , Ronaldinho became the second Barcelona player , after Diego Maradona in 1983 , to receive a standing ovation from Real Madrid fans at the Santiago Bernabéu . While El Clásico is regarded as one of the fiercest rivalries in world football , there have been rare moments when fans have shown praise for a player on the opposing team . In 1980 , Laurie Cunningham was the first Real Madrid player to receive applause from Barcelona fans at Camp Nou ; after excelling during the match , and with Madrid winning 2 -- 0 , Cunningham left the field to a standing ovation from the locals . On 26 June 1983 , during the second leg of the Copa de la Liga final at the Santiago Bernabéu in Madrid , having dribbled past the Real Madrid goalkeeper , Barcelona star Diego Maradona ran towards an empty goal before stopping just as the Madrid defender came sliding in an attempt to block the shot and crashed into the post , before Maradona slotted the ball into the net . The manner of Maradona 's goal led to many Madrid fans inside the stadium start applauding . In November 2005 , Ronaldinho became the second Barcelona player to receive a standing ovation from Madrid fans at the Santiago Bernabéu . After dribbling through the Madrid defence twice to score two goals in a 3 -- 0 win , Madrid fans paid homage to his performance with applause . On 21 November 2015 , Andrés Iniesta became the third Barcelona player to receive applause from Real Madrid fans while he was substituted during a 4 -- 0 away win , with Iniesta scoring Barça 's third . A 2007 survey by the Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas showed that 32 % of the Spanish population supported Real Madrid , while 25 % supported Barcelona . In third place came Valencia , with 5 % . According to a poll performed by Ikerfel in 2011 , Barcelona is the most popular team in Spain with 44 % of preferences , while Real Madrid is second with 37 % . Atlético Madrid , Valencia and Athletic Bilbao complete the top five . Both clubs have a global fanbase and are the world 's two most followed sports teams on social media -- on Facebook , as of March 2016 , Barcelona has 91 million fans , Real Madrid has 87 million fans . Barcelona 's Lionel Messi and Real Madrid midfielder Lassana Diarra in a 2011 Clásico . The rivalry intensified in 2011 where , due to the final of the Copa Del Rey and the meeting of the two in the UEFA Champions League , Barcelona and Real Madrid were scheduled to meet each other four times in 18 days . Several accusations of unsportsmanlike behaviour from both teams and a war of words erupted throughout the fixtures which included four red cards . Spain national team coach Vicente del Bosque stated that he was `` concerned '' that due to the rising hatred between the two clubs , that this could cause friction in the Spain team . In recent years , the rivalry has been `` encapsulated '' by the rivalry between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi . Following the star signings of Neymar and Luis Suárez to Barcelona , and Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema to Madrid , the rivalry has been expanded to a battle of the clubs attacking trios , `` BBC '' ( Bale , Benzema , Cristiano ) against `` MSN '' ( Messi , Suárez , Neymar ) .

As seen below , Barcelona leads Real Madrid 90 -- 87 in terms of official overall trophies .

'' ( 1960 ) `` Stuck on You '' / `` Fame and Fortune '' ( 1960 ) `` It 's Now or Never '' ( 1960 ) `` Are You Lonesome Tonight ? '' ( 1960 ) `` It 's Now or Never '' is a ballad recorded by Elvis Presley in 1960 . It is one of two popular songs based on the Italian song `` ' O Sole mio '' ( music by Eduardo di Capua ) , the other being `` There 's No Tomorrow '' , recorded by U.S. singer Tony Martin in 1949 , which inspired Presley 's version . The lyrics were written by Aaron Schroeder and Wally Gold . The single is the second best - selling single by Presley , and one of the best - selling singles of all time . In the late 1950s , while stationed in Germany with the U.S. Army , Presley heard Martin 's recording . According to The New York Times , quoting from the 1986 book Behind The Hits , `` he told the idea to his music publisher , Freddy Bienstock , who was visiting him in Germany ... Mr. Bienstock , who many times found songwriters for Presley , returned to his New York office , where he found songwriters , Mr. ( Aaron ) Schroeder and Wally Gold , the only people in that day . The two wrote lyrics in half an hour . Selling more than 20 million records , the song became number one in countries all around and was Presley 's best selling single ever ... a song ( they ) finished in 20 minutes to a half hour was the biggest song of ( their ) career . '' In 1960 , `` It 's Now or Never '' was a number - one record in the U.S. , spending five weeks at number one and the UK , where it spent eight weeks at the top in 1960 and an additional week at number one in 2005 as a re-issue , and numerous other countries , selling in excess of 25 million copies worldwide , Elvis Presley 's biggest international single ever . Its British release was delayed for some time because of rights issues , allowing the song to build up massive advance orders and to enter the UK Singles Chart at number one , a very rare occurrence at the time . `` It 's Now or Never '' peaked at number seven on the R&B charts . A live version featuring `` ' O Sole mio '' is available on the 1977 live album Elvis in Concert . `` ' O Sole mio '' is sung by tenor Sherrill Nielson . In early 2005 , the song was re-released along with the other Presley singles in the UK , and again reached number one on the UK Singles Chart for the week of 5 February 2005 . The re-release held the record for the lowest selling number - one single in UK chart history until Orson 's `` No Tomorrow '' in 2006 . The song also appears in the TV mini-series Elvis .

It is a film adaptation of the Nathaniel Hawthorne novel of the same name . It was directed by Roland Joffé and stars Demi Moore , Gary Oldman , and Robert Duvall . This version was `` freely adapted '' from Hawthorne and deviated from the original story . It was nominated for seven Golden Raspberry Awards at the 1995 ceremony , winning `` Worst Remake or Sequel . '' Contents ( hide ) 1 Plot 2 Cast 3 Production 4 Score 5 Reception 6 See also 7 References 8 External links Plot ( edit ) This article needs an improved plot summary . ( November 2015 ) It is 1667 in the Massachusetts Bay Colony , and an uneasy truce exists between local Puritans and their neighbors , the Algonquian . Chief Metacomet ( Eric Schweig ) succeeds his father Massasoit as head of the latter just as a new colonist , Hester Prynne ( Demi Moore ) arrives overseas from England . As Hester waits for her husband - who is due to follow shortly after - she falls for a young minister , Arthur Dimmesdale ( Gary Oldman ) . When it emerges that Roger Prynne has likely been killed by Native Americans , they become inseparable lovers . Finding herself pregnant with Dimmesdale 's child , Hester is imprisoned for her indiscretion . The minister intends to declare his sin and face execution , but Hester convinces him otherwise . Sentenced to wear a scarlet `` A '' for adultery , Prynne is ostracized by the public , and a drummer boy charged to follow her whenever she comes to town . Meanwhile , Hester 's husband ( Robert Duvall ) resurfaces , having spent his absence in captivity as a prisoner of war . Learning of the scandal , he adopts the fictitious guise of `` Dr. Roger Chillingworth '' and begins seeking out her paramour . The physician eventually murders a male settler leaving Hester 's home and scalps him in an effort to implicate Algonquian warriors . Infuriated by this atrocity , the colonists declare war on the Indians and Roger , distraught by the severe consequences of his action , promptly commits suicide . Hester is nearly hanged with other undesirables in the ensuing outrage , but Dimmesdale saves her neck by confessing that he is the father of her child . As he takes her place on the gallows , the Algonquian attack Massachusetts Bay ; both sides sustain heavy casualties . The Puritans are more concerned with concealing the conflict from England than harassing Hester any further ; she finally abandons her scarlet letter and departs with Dimmesdale for Carolina .

The film was shot in British Columbia on Vancouver Island , in and around Campbell River ( Beaverlodge Lands -- now Rockland Road and North Island College / Timberline Secondary , Lupin Falls and Myra Falls in Strathcona Provincial Park , Little Oyster River , and White River ) , and in the Nova Scotia towns of Yarmouth , Shelburne , and in the small village of Saint Alphonse in Clare in 1994 . In Shelburne , the waterfront area was substantially altered to resemble a Puritan New England town in the mid-17th century . Some of the buildings on Dock Street retain the grey - tone paint finishes used for the film . Score ( edit ) Three original scores were written for this film . The first score was composed by Ennio Morricone and was quickly rejected . A second score was composed by Elmer Bernstein , but his music was set aside in lieu of the final score , composed by John Barry . Reportedly , star Demi Moore wanted a score by Barry from the start , so Morricone 's and Bernstein 's music were not going to be accepted , regardless of quality . Barry 's score was released on CD by Sony Records upon the film 's release in 1995 . A CD of Bernstein 's rejected score was released by Varèse Sarabande in 2008 . No recordings of Morricone 's score have been released to the public . Reception ( edit ) The film drew negative reviews from critics . Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes gave the film a 13 % approval rating , based on 38 reviews . It won the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Remake or Sequel and was nominated for Worst Actress for Demi Moore ( lost to Elizabeth Berkley for Showgirls ) , Worst Director for Roland Joffe ( lost to Paul Verhoeven for Showgirls ) , Worst Picture ( also lost to Showgirls ) , Worst Screen Couple for Moore and either Robert Duvall or Gary Oldman ( also lost to Showgirls ) , Worst Screenplay ( also lost to Showgirls ) and Worst Supporting Actor for Duvall ( lost to Dennis Hopper for Waterworld ) . It grossed $10.3 million against a production budget of $46 million . In response to the negative criticism , and to the new ending , Demi Moore said that the story the filmmakers were trying to tell differed out of necessity with that of the book , which she said was `` very dense and not cinematic '' . She noted the original story might be better suited to a miniseries on television , and that the story presented in this film needed a different ending , one that did not lose `` the ultimate message of Hester Prynne '' that its makers were trying to convey .

NBA All - Star Game most Valuable player award - wikipedia NBA All - Star Game most Valuable player award Jump to : navigation , search ( hide ) National Basketball Association awards and honors Championship O'Brien Trophy Brown Trophy ( defunct ) Individual awards All - Star Game MVP Bill Russell Finals MVP Coach of the Year Defensive Player of the Year Executive of the Year J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Community Assist Award Most Improved Player Most Valuable Player Rookie of the Year Sixth Man of the Year Sportsmanship Award Twyman -- Stokes Teammate of the Year Lifetime Achievement Award Honors All - NBA Team All - Rookie Team All - Defensive Team The National Basketball Association All - Star Game Most Valuable Player ( MVP ) is an annual National Basketball Association ( NBA ) award given to the player ( s ) voted best of the annual All - Star Game . The award was established in 1953 when NBA officials decided to designate an MVP for each year 's game . The league also re-honored players from the previous two All - Star Games . Ed Macauley and Paul Arizin were selected as the 1951 and 1952 MVP winners respectively . The voting is conducted by a panel of media members , who cast their vote after the conclusion of the game . The player ( s ) with the most votes or ties for the most votes wins the award . No All - Star Game MVP was named in 1999 since the game was canceled due to the league 's lockout . As of 2018 , the most recent recipient is Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James . Bob Pettit and Kobe Bryant are the only two players to win the All - Star Game MVP four times . Oscar Robertson , Michael Jordan , Shaquille O'Neal , and LeBron James have each won the award three times , while Bob Cousy , Julius Erving , Isiah Thomas , Magic Johnson , Karl Malone , Allen Iverson , and Russell Westbrook have all won the award twice . James ' first All - Star MVP in 2006 made him the youngest to have ever won the award at the age of 21 years , 1 month . Kyrie Irving , winner of the 2014 All - Star Game MVP , is the second - youngest at 21 years , 10 months . They are notable as being the two youngest to win the award , both as Cleveland Cavaliers . Four of the games had joint winners -- Elgin Baylor and Pettit in 1959 , John Stockton and Malone in 1993 , O'Neal and Tim Duncan in 2000 , and O'Neal and Bryant in 2009 . O'Neal became the first player in All - Star history to share two MVP awards as well as the first player to win the award with multiple teams . The Los Angeles Lakers have had eleven winners while the Boston Celtics have had eight . Duncan of the U.S. Virgin Islands and Irving of Australia are the only winners not born in the United States . Both Duncan and Irving are American citizens , but are considered `` international '' players by the NBA because they were not born in one of the fifty states or Washington , D.C.

who won mvp 2018 nba all star game
[ "The National Basketball Association All-Star Game Most Valuable Player (MVP) is an annual National Basketball Association (NBA) award given to the player(s) voted best of the annual All-Star Game. The award was established in 1953 when NBA officials decided to designate an MVP for each year's game. The league also re-honored players from the previous two All-Star Games. Ed Macauley and Paul Arizin were selected as the 1951 and 1952 MVP winners respectively.[1] The voting is conducted by a panel of media members, who cast their vote after the conclusion of the game. The player(s) with the most votes or ties for the most votes wins the award.[2] No All-Star Game MVP was named in 1999 since the game was canceled due to the league's lockout.[3] As of 2018[update], the most recent recipient is Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James." ]

U.S. Probation and Pretrial Services System
U.S. Probation and Pretrial Services system - wikipedia U.S. Probation and Pretrial Services system Jump to : navigation , search The U.S. Probation and Pretrial Services System , also called the Office of Probation and Pretrial Services , part of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts , is the office of the federal judiciary of the United States . It serves the United States district courts in all 94 federal judicial districts nationwide and constitutes the community corrections arm of the Federal Judiciary . It administers probation and supervised release under United States federal law . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Fallen Officers 3 See also 4 External links History ( edit ) The first legislation for Federal Probation Law was introduced in 1908 , one of which was prepared by the New York State Probation Commission and the National Probation Association ( later known as the National Council on Crime and Delinquency ) and introduced before Congress by United States Senator Robert L. Owen of Oklahoma . The bill provided for a suspension of a sentence , in U.S. District Court , and a sentence of probation . The bill also provided for compensation of $5 per diem for Federal Probation Officers . This first attempt did not pass and through 1909 to 1925 there were 34 bills introduced to establish federal probation law . In 1925 , the Federal Probation Act was introduced by Senator Copeland as S. 1042 and Representative Graham as H.R. 5195 . The U.S. Senate passed in unanimously but the House passed the law by a vote of 170 in favor and 49 opposed . On March 4 , 1925 , President Calvin Coolidge , a former Governor of Massachusetts and very familiar with the benefits of a functioning probation system , signed the bill in law . This Act gave the U.S. Courts the power to appoint Federal Probation Officers and authority to sentence defendants to probation instead of a prison sentence . It later gave U.S. Probation Officers the responsibility of supervising offenders granted parole by the United States Parole Commission , military offenders and pretrial supervision . The responsibility of the United States Probation Service was first under the United States Department of Justice , under the supervising authority of the Federal Bureau of Prisons , however , in 1940 the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts was established and assumed the responsibility . U.S. Pretrial Services came along more than 50 years later , in 1982 , with the Pretrial Services Act of 1982 . It was developed as a means to reduce both crimes committed by persons released into the community pending trial and unnecessary pretrial detention . Twenty three districts have both separate U.S. Probation and Pretrial Services Offices . In the remaining 71 districts , the probation office provides pretrial services to the court . United States Probation Officers , also referred to as Federal Probation Officers , are the only cadre of Federal Law Enforcement Officers in the Federal Judiciary . Despite their law enforcement status and authority within the federal government , their investigators are referred to as Officers , not Special Agents . The Federal Probation Office emphasizes their unique role as law enforcement officers and social case workers . They hold the responsibility to investigate and supervise persons charged with and convicted of crimes against the United States . They have statutory authority to carry firearms , make warrantless arrests of those under their supervision and have jurisdiction over felons convicted in federal courts . Most districts require that all new officers attend the Probation and Pretrial Services National Training Academy at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center soon after coming on board . Officers are eligible for a 20 - year retirement and must be appointed prior to their 37th birthday because the mandatory separation age is 57 . Almost all districts require prior experience in a similar field , a background suitability investigation , drug test , and medical examination as a pre-requisite for hiring . Federal Probation is unique to other federal law enforcement agencies in that they are regionally aligned to their judicial districts , rather than a single headquarters element . All officers within a district report to their Chief Probation Officer or Chief Pretrial Services Officer , who in turn serves the Chief District Judge . The national element is the Administrative Office of the United States Courts , Washington , DC , which provides administrative support to the courts , including staffing and other resources , and enforces policies promulgated by the Judicial Conference of the United States , the policy - making body of the Federal Judiciary . Many districts have split their Probation Officers into Pre-Sentence Investigation Units and Supervision Units . Pre-Sentence Investigators conduct comprehensive investigations into the background of defendants convicted of federal crimes . Upon completion of their investigation , they are required to employ the sentencing guidelines and submit a sentencing recommendation to the presiding judge . Often , they are also asked to confer privately with judges regarding their recommendation . Officers assigned to Supervision Units supervise felons convicted of federal crimes who are released into society on either Supervised Release or Probation . Supervision Officers must enforce court ordered conditions and are mandated to use their discretion and skills to mitigate the offenders risk to society . Both Supervision Officers and Pre-Sentence Investigators deal with a wide range of offenders , many of whom have extensive criminal histories . Federal Probation Officers also represent the United States Department of Justice in the performance of duties connected with federal parole . Fallen Officers ( edit ) U.S. Probation Officer Joseph Matison ( Matt ) DeLozier ( Oklahoma Northern ) On Monday , September 9 , 1935 , U.S. Probation Officer Matt DeLozier was traveling to Tulsa , Oklahoma , on official business for U.S. District Judge Franklin E. Kennamer . While at a gas station in Supulpa , Oklahoma , he exited the vehicle to refuel his car , when his gun fell to the pavement and discharged . The bullet hit him in the thigh and severed an artery . Officer DeLozier died at 3 p.m. that day . At the time of his death , he was survived by his wife , three daughters , and one son . Mr. DeLozier became a United States probation officer in March 1935 , just six months before his death . U.S. Probation Clerk Marie Christopher Curtis ( West Virginia Northern ) Marie Christopher Curtis was born on January 31 , 1917 , in Hopwood , Pennsylvania . She married John J. Curtis , owner and operator of Deluxe Cleaners in Grant Town , West Virginia . They had one son , John Jay Curtis Jr. , and one daughter , Delores ( Johnson ) . On Tuesday , December 27 , 1966 , at approximately 10 : 30 a.m. , parolee Gladys Garnet Turner , age 48 , bypassed the federal building 's elevator in Fairmont , West Virginia , walked up to the third floor , and entered the federal probation office . There she shot Marie Curtis , age 49 , five times before turning the gun on herself . Turner was sentenced in 1962 for the offense of Interstate Transportation of Altered Money Orders . She served approximately four years in custody at the Federal Reformatory for Women in Alderson , West Virginia , and was paroled on March 9 , 1966 . On March 22 , U.S. Probation Officer L.O. Bickel sent Turner to the Union Rescue Mission , where she lived for two to three weeks . Authorities at the mission reported that Turner was a `` very tough woman '' who repeatedly talked about her disgust with the parole system . Officer Bickel was out of the office at the time of the shooting , visiting his son in Washington , DC . He rushed to the hospital as soon as he was notified of the shooting . Marie Curtis served as Officer Bickel 's secretary for nine years , and they were the only staff working in the probation office . After hearing gunshots , Deputy U.S. District Court Clerk Gertrude Lucas , who worked on the same floor , ran to the probation office , where she found Turner and Curtis . FBI Agent Eugene Jones and Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal Walter M. Garrison Jr. , who worked on the second floor , drew their guns and rushed upstairs . Turner was first rushed to Fairmont General Hospital and later died on the way to West Virginia University Medical Center in Morgantown , West Virginia . Authorities found the following items in her possession : A Greyhound bus ticket stub for a one - way trip from Parkersburg to Fairmont , West Virginia . A bag containing a piece of paper with her name on it . A men 's magazine . Several books , including one titled Cop Hater. 43 unspent bullets . Curtis was immediately taken to Fairmont General Hospital , where she received emergency treatment . While there , she briefly regained consciousness before lapsing into a coma . She was then rushed to West Virginia University Medical Center and was taken to surgery at 4 : 30 p.m. One bullet passed through her body , and surgeons removed the other four bullets . Curtis died at approximately 3 : 10 a.m. on Saturday , December 31 , 1966 . U.S. Probation Officer Charles Gleason Venz ( California Southern ) Charles Gleason Venz became a United States probation officer in the Southern District of California on July 27 , 1970 . He died on Tuesday , October 2 , 1979 , in a car accident while conducting fieldwork . U.S. Probation Officer Thomas Eric Gahl ( Indiana Southern ) Tom Gahl was born in Valparaiso , Indiana , on December 14 , 1947 . He became a United States probation officer on March 14 , 1975 . Tom served in the U.S. Marine Corps as a 1st Lieutenant and later worked at the Indiana State Penitentiary in Michigan City , Indiana , and the U.S. Penitentiary in Terre Haute , Indiana . He received a bachelor 's degree from Augustana College in Rock Island , Illinois , and a master 's degree from Indiana State University in Terre Haute , Indiana . The morning of Monday , September 22 , 1986 , Tom , then an 11 - year veteran of the United States probation and pretrial services system , began his day preparing to visit parolee Mike Wayne Jackson , age 41 , at Jackson 's home to take a urine test . Tom had met Jackson for the first time a week earlier in his office . The prior weekend , he had taken home Jackson 's nearly 1,000 - page file but never got the chance to read it . He knew that Jackson had a long history of mental illness and violent tendencies . A Violent Act provides a detailed account of Tom Gahl 's death as well as Jackson 's subsequent crime spree and eventual suicide . In his book , author Alec Wilkinson provides a vivid description of Jackson : `` He was forty years old . He lived without running water , electric light , or cooking gas in a house in Indianapolis that had stood empty for years before he moved himself into it one month earlier . He slept on straw in an upstairs room , or in the back of his pickup truck parked in the yard . He did not bathe ... He was perhaps six feet tall and weighed about two hundred pounds . He often wore farmer 's overalls . He had a small paunch . His shoulders tended to stoop . He had long black hair with strands of gray in it , and a long black beard that covered nearly all of his face . There was some question of his sanity . '' As Tom got ready for work , his wife Nancy , worried that Jackson might be dangerous , suggested that Jackson visit Tom at the office in lieu of a home visit . With a reassuring but hesitant tone , Tom replied , `` Please do n't worry . Things will be all right . '' After all , he had never heard of a federal probation or pretrial services officer ever being killed . Besides , if Tom ever thought an offender was dangerous , he would take a United States marshal along with him on a home visit . He had no plans to do so this time . Tom left the house at approximately 7 : 45 a.m. , and by 8 : 05 a.m. , he had been shot and killed . Two of Jackson 's neighbors gave eyewitness accounts of Tom 's visit to Jackson 's home and Tom 's subsequent murder . One neighbor heard Tom knocking on Jackson 's door . Knowing that Jackson never had visitors , she stepped outside to see who it was . When Jackson did n't answer the door , Tom walked back to his car and briefly sat inside with the door open . Within minutes he exited his car and began walking toward Jackson 's house . Suddenly , Jackson came out of his house and charged at Tom with a shotgun . When Tom turned to run , Jackson fired the first shot into the back of his left arm , below the shoulder , breaking his elbow . The force of the shot spun Tom around to face Jackson . After hearing the first shot , the second neighbor stepped out of her house to see Jackson `` backing Tom Gahl up at the point of his shotgun . '' Because she could n't see Tom 's face , she thought that Jackson had just shot her husband . Tom and Jackson were now on the street , and Tom 's back faced the neighbor . As Tom backed up onto the sidewalk toward her , he held his left arm at his side . Raising his right hand toward Jackson , he said , `` Please do n't shoot . Do n't shoot me . It 's not going to do you any good . '' But Jackson continued toward him . Tom turned his head to one side and said , `` Oh , God . '' Jackson fired the second shot into the side of Tom 's head , knocking him to his knees , then to the ground . A man driving his son to school quickly stopped his car near Tom . He and the boy watched Jackson lean over and place the barrel of the rifle close to Tom 's head , firing the third shot . As Jackson stood there , the neighbor recalled that his face was `` empty of any emotion or feeling or spark of life . '' She watched him walk back into his house , come back outside wearing different clothes , and driving away . Following is an account of Jackson 's violent spree through Indiana , Illinois , and Missouri over the next 10 days : Eighteen minutes after the shooting , Jackson drove to J.B. Market and shot and killed owner James B. Hall after attempting to rob the store . He then ordered a bread deliveryman , who was inside the store , to drive him to the airport in the man 's delivery truck . After ordering the man to stop at the business end of the airport , Jackson got out , walked up to a man who was getting into a jeep , pointed his shotgun at him , demanded his keys , and drove off . After stopping the jeep in front of a house , Jackson abducted a young woman who was unloading her car . They drove for approximately 45 minutes , until the woman jumped out of the car in Frankfort , Indiana . Jackson drove away . Driving through Frankfort , Jackson traveled to a trailer park , got out of the car , and approached a trailer where a woman and her three - year - old son lived . Once inside , Jackson abducted the two and drove off in the woman 's car . He traveled for approximately ten minutes and stopped the car on a country road . After stealing the woman 's money and rings she was wearing , he drove off . At approximately 6 p.m. that evening , Jackson drove to a shopping mall in Clayton , Missouri . He walked up to a woman , who was securing her son in the car , and demanded that she give him her purse . After ordering her and her son to lie on the ground , he drove off . Jackson committed his third and final murder at approximately 6 : 45 p.m. as he drove along Interstate 70 through St. Peters , Missouri . There he saw Earl Dallas Finn driving a Ford LTD ( a model commonly used by police departments ) . Jackson drove alongside of Finn , pointed the barrel of his shotgun at Finn from four feet away , and fired . Finn 's car swerved off the highway before crashing into a light pole . Next , Jackson drove approximately 10 miles west to O'Fallon , Missouri . At approximately 6 : 55 p.m. , he approached a woman outside of an IGA and ordered her to get into her car . When the woman fought him , refusing to get inside , Jackson took her keys and drove away . Jackson then drove through O'Fallon for five minutes until he came upon a house , where an elderly man was planting a tree . After escorting the man inside the house , Jackson ordered the man 's daughter to give him the keys to one of three cars that were parked in the driveway . As he drove her Buick Regal down the street , the woman 's husband passed the car and began to follow it , trailing close behind . Jackson turned around and fired his shotgun , blowing out the back window of the man 's car . Soon after , Jackson abandoned the Buick in O'Fallon and abducted a young man who was polishing a Cadillac . Somewhere between O'Fallon and Wright City , Missouri , Jackson put the young man in the trunk . After driving past two police officers in a patrol car in Wright City , Jackson shot at them , injuring one officer . As he sped away , both officers fired shots at the car . One of them hit Jackson , who plowed the car through a fence , over several ditches , and back onto the roadway , damaging the radiator and transmission . He then abandoned the car a distance away . From there Jackson fled into the woods , eventually making his way to an abandoned barn near Wright City . On October 2 , 1986 , after a 10 - day search , the FBI and other law enforcement surrounded the barn where Jackson was hiding out . When a tracker and three FBI agents entered the barn , Jackson committed suicide in the loft with the same shotgun he had used to kill his victims .

when did the federal government establish a probation system for u.s. district courts
[ "The first legislation for Federal Probation Law was introduced in 1908, one of which was prepared by the New York State Probation Commission and the National Probation Association (later known as the National Council on Crime and Delinquency) and introduced before Congress by United States Senator Robert L. Owen of Oklahoma. The bill provided for a suspension of a sentence, in U.S. District Court, and a sentence of probation. The bill also provided for compensation of $5 per diem for Federal Probation Officers. This first attempt did not pass and through 1909 to 1925 there were 34 bills introduced to establish federal probation law." ]

Heart development
Heart development - wikipedia Heart development Jump to : navigation , search This article is about a general overview of heart development . For protein signalling in heart development , see Protein signalling in heart development . Heart development Development of the human heart during the first eight weeks ( top ) , and the formation of the heart chambers ( bottom ) . In this figure , the blue and red colors represent blood inflow and outflow ( not venous and arterial blood ) . Initially , all venous blood flows from the tail / atria to the ventricles / head , a very different pattern from that of an adult . Anatomical terminology ( edit on Wikidata ) Heart development refers to the prenatal development of the human heart . This begins with the formation of two endocardial tubes which merge to form the tubular heart , also called the primitive heart tube , that loops and septates into the four chambers and paired arterial trunks that form the adult heart . The heart is the first functional organ in vertebrate embryos , and in the human , beats spontaneously by week 4 of development . The tubular heart quickly differentiates into the truncus arteriosus , bulbus cordis , primitive ventricle , primitive atrium , and the sinus venosus . The truncus arteriosus splits into the ascending aorta and pulmonary artery . The bulbus cordis forms part of the ventricles . The sinus venosus connects to the fetal circulation . The heart tube elongates on the right side , looping and becoming the first visual sign of left - right asymmetry of the body . Septa form within the atria and ventricles to separate the left and right sides of the heart . Contents ( hide ) 1 Early development 1.1 Endocardial tubes 1.2 Heart tube position 2 Heart folding 3 Heart chambers 3.1 Sinus venosus 3.2 Heart wall 3.3 Atria 3.4 Ventricles 3.5 Septum formation of the atrioventricular canal 3.6 Atrioventricular valves 4 Valves and outflow tracts 4.1 Truncus septum formation and arterial cone 5 Pacemaker and conduction system 6 References 7 Additional images 8 References Early development ( edit ) The heart derives from embryonic mesodermal germ - layer cells that differentiate after gastrulation into mesothelium , endothelium , and myocardium . Mesothelial pericardium forms the outer lining of the heart . The inner lining of the heart , lymphatic and blood vessels , develop from endothelium . Endocardial tubes ( edit ) In the splanchnopleuric mesenchyme on either side of the neural plate , a horseshoe - shaped area develops as the cardiogenic region . This has formed from cardiac myoblasts and blood islands as forerunners of blood cells and vessels . By day 19 , an endocardial tube begins to develop in each side of this region . These two tubes grow and by the third week have converged towards each other to merge , using programmed cell death to form a single tube , the tubular heart . From splanchnopleuric mesenchyme , the cardiogenic region develops cranially and laterally to the neural plate . In this area , two separate angiogenic cell clusters form on either side and coalesce to form the endocardial tubes . As embryonic folding continues , the two endocardial tubes are pushed into the thoracic cavity , where they begin to fuse together , and this is completed at about 22 days . At around 18 to 19 days after fertilisation , the heart begins to form . This early development is critical for subsequent embryonic and prenatal development . The heart is the first functional organ to develop and starts to beat and pump blood at around day 21 or 22 . The heart begins to develop near the head of the embryo in the cardiogenic area . Following cell signalling , two strands or cords begin to form in the cardiogenic region As these form , a lumen develops within them , at which point , they are referred to as endocardial tubes . At the same time that the tubes are forming other major heart components are also being formed . The two tubes migrate together and fuse to form a single primitive heart tube , the tubular heart which quickly forms five distinct regions . From head to tail , these are the truncus arteriosus , bulbus cordis , primitive ventricle , primitive atrium , and the sinus venosus . Initially , all venous blood flows into the sinus venosus , and contractions propel the blood from tail to head , or from the sinus venosus to the truncus arteriosus . The truncus arteriosus will divide to form the aorta and pulmonary artery ; the bulbus cordis will develop into the right ventricle ; the primitive ventricle will form the left ventricle ; the primitive atrium will become the front parts of the left and right atria and their appendages , and the sinus venous will develop into the posterior part of the right atrium , the sinoatrial node and the coronary sinus . Heart tube position ( edit ) The central part of cardiogenic area is in front of the oropharyngeal membrane and the neural plate . The growth of the brain and the cephalic folds push the oropharyngeal membrane forward , while the heart and the pericardial cavity move first to the cervical region and then into the chest . The curved portion of the horseshoe - shaped area expands to form the future ventricular infundibulum and the ventricular regions , as the heart tube continues to expand . The tube starts receiving venous drainage in its caudal pole and will pump blood out of the first aortic arch and into the dorsal aorta through its polar head . Initially the tube remains attached to the dorsal part of the pericardial cavity by a mesodermal tissue fold called the dorsal mesoderm . This mesoderm disappears to form the two pericardial sinuses the transverse and the oblique pericardial sinuses , which connect both sides of the pericardial cavity . The myocardium thickens and secretes a thick layer of rich extracellular matrix containing hyaluronic acid which separates the endothelium . Then mesothelial cells form the pericardium and migrate to form most of the epicardium . Then the heart tube is formed by the endocardium , which is the inner endothelial lining of the heart , and the myocardial muscle wall which is the epicardium that covers the outside of the tube . Heart folding ( edit ) The heart tube continues stretching and by day 23 , in a process called morphogenesis , cardiac looping begins . The cephalic portion curves in a frontal clockwise direction . The atrial portion starts moving in a cephalic ally and then moves to the left from its original position . This curved shape approaches the heart and finishes its growth on day 28 . The conduit forms the atrial and ventricular junctions which connect the common atrium and the common ventricle in the early embryo . The arterial bulb forms the trabecular portion of the right ventricle . A cone will form the infundibula blood of both ventricles . The arterial trunk and the roots will form the proximal portion of the aorta and the pulmonary artery . The junction between the ventricle and the arterial bulb will be called the primary intra-ventricular hole . The tube is divided into cardiac regions along its craniocaudal axis : the primitive ventricle , called primitive left ventricle , and the trabecular proximal arterial bulb , called the primitive right ventricle . Heart chambers ( edit ) Sinus venosus ( edit ) In the middle of the fourth week , the sinus receives venous blood from the poles of right and left sinus . Each pole receives blood from three major veins : the vitelline vein , the umbilical vein and the common cardinal vein . The sinus opening moves clockwise . This movement is caused mainly by the left to right shunt of blood , which occurs in the venous system during the fourth and fifth week of development . When the left common cardinal vein disappears in the tenth week , with only the oblique vein of the left atrium and the coronary sinus remaining . The right pole joins the right atrium to form the wall portion of the right atrium . The right and left venous valves fuse and form a peak known as the septum spurium . At the beginning , these valves are large but the left venous valve and the septum spurium fuse with the developing atrial septum . The upper right venous valve disappearing . The bottom evolves into : the inferior valve of the vena cava and the coronary sinus valve . Heart wall ( edit ) The main walls of the heart are formed between day 27 and 37 of the development of the early embryo . The growth consists of two tissue masses actively growing that approach one another until they merge and split light into two separate conduits . Tissue masses called endocardial cushions develop into atrioventricular and conotroncal regions . In these places , the cushions will help in the formation of auricular septum , ventricular conduits , atrio - ventricular valves and aortic and pulmonary channels . Atria ( edit ) Further information : Interatrial septum § Development The developing heart at day 30 . The septum primum ( top , middle ) develops downwards to separate the initially joined primitive atrium into left and right atria . At the end of the fourth week , a crest grows that leaves the cephalic part . This crest is the first part of the septum primum . The two ends of the septum extend into the interior of the endocardial cushions in the atrioventricular canal . The opening between the bottom edge of the septum primum and endocardial cushions is the ostium primum ( first opening ) . The extensions of the upper and lower endocardial pads grow along the margin of the septum primum and close the ostium primum . Coalescence of these perforations will form the ostium secundum ( second opening ) , which allows blood to flow freely from the right atrium to the left . When the right of the atrium expands due to the incorporation of the pole of the sinus , a new fold appears , called the septum secundum . At its right side it is fused with the left venous valve and the septum spurium . A free opening will then appear , called the foramen ovale . The remains of the upper septum primum , will become the valves of the foramen ovale . The passage between the two atrial chambers consists of a long oblique slit through which blood flows from the right atrium to the left . Ventricles ( edit ) Initially , a single pulmonary vein develops in the form of a bulge in the back wall of the left atrium . This vein will connect with the veins of the developing lung buds . As development proceeds the pulmonary vein and its branches are incorporated into the left atrium and they both form the smooth wall of the atrium . The embryonic left atrium remains as the trabecular left atrial appendage , and the embryonic right atrium remains as the right atrial appendage . Septum formation of the atrioventricular canal ( edit ) At the end of the fourth week , two atrioventricular endocardial cushions appear . Initially the atrioventricular canal gives access to the primitive left ventricle , and is separated from arterial bulb by the edge of the ventricular bulb . In the fifth week , the posterior end terminates in the center part of the upper endocardial cushion . Because of this , blood can access both the left primitive ventricle and the right primitive ventricle . As the anterior and posterior pads project inwardly , they merge to form a right and left atrioventricular orifice . Atrioventricular valves ( edit ) When forming intra-atrial septa , atrio - ventricular valves will begin to grow . An intra-muscular ventricular septum begins to grow from the common ventricle to the atrio - ventricular endocardial cushions . The division begins in the common ventricle where a furrow in the outer surface of the heart will appear the interventricular foramen eventually disappears . This closure is achieved by further growth muscular interventricular septum , a contribution of trunk crest - conal tissue and a membranous component . Valves and outflow tracts ( edit ) Truncus septum formation and arterial cone ( edit ) The arterial cone is closed by the infundibular cushions . The trunk cones are closed by the forming of an infundibulotroncal septum , which is made from a straight proximal portion and distal spiral portion . Then , the narrowest portion of the aorta is in the left and dorsal portion . The distal portion of the aorta is pushed forward to the right . The proximal pulmonary artery is right and ventral , and the distal portion of the pulmonary artery is in the left dorsal portion . Pacemaker and conduction system ( edit ) The rhythmic electrical depolarization waves that trigger myocardial contraction is myogenic , which means that they begin in the heart muscle spontaneously and are then responsible for transmitting signals from cell to cell . Myocytes that were obtained in the primitive heart tube , start beating as they connect together by their walls in a syncytium . Myocytes initiate rhythmic electrical activity , before the fusion of the endocardial tubes . The heartbeat begins in the region of the pacemaker which has a spontaneous depolarization time faster than the rest of myocardium . The primitive ventricle acts as initial pacemaker . But this pacemaker activity is actually made by a group of cells that derive from the sinoatrial right venous sinus . These cells form an ovoid sinoatrial node ( SAN ) , on the left venous valve . After the development of the SAN , the superior endocardial cushions begin to form a pacemaker as known as the atrioventricular node . With the development of the SAN , a band of specialized conducting cells start to form creating the bundle of His that sends a branch to the right ventricle and one to the left ventricle . Most conduction pathways originate from the cardiogenic mesoderm but the sinus node may be derived from the neural crest . The human embryonic heart begins beating approximately 21 days after fertilization , or five weeks after the last normal menstrual period ( LMP ) , which is the date normally used to date pregnancy in the medical community . The electrical depolarizations that trigger cardiac myocytes to contract arise spontaneously within the myocyte itself . The heartbeat is initiated in the pacemaker regions and spreads to the rest of the heart through a conduction pathway . Pacemaker cells develop in the primitive atrium and the sinus venosus to form the sinoatrial node and the atrioventricular node respectively . Conductive cells develop the bundle of His and carry the depolarization into the lower heart . Cardiac activity is visible beginning at approximately 5 weeks of pregnancy . The human heart begins beating at a rate near the mother 's , about 75 - 80 beats per minute ( BPM ) . The embryonic heart rate ( EHR ) then accelerates linearly for the first month of beating , peaking at 165 - 185 BPM during the early 7th week , ( early 9th week after the LMP ) . This acceleration is approximately 3.3 BPM per day , or about 10 BPM every three days , an increase of 100 BPM in the first month . After peaking at about 9.2 weeks after the LMP , it decelerates to about 150 BPM ( + / - 25 BPM ) during the 15th week after the LMP . After the 15th week the deceleration slows reaching an average rate of about 145 ( + / - 25 BPM ) BPM at term . References ( edit ) ^ Jump up to : Betts , J. Gordon ( 2013 ) .

Steamship
Steamship - wikipedia Steamship Not to be confused with Steamboat . Engraving of the elevation plan and section of a steam - boat , 1827 A steamship , often referred to as a steamer , is a type of steam powered vessel , typically ocean - faring and seaworthy , that is propelled by one or more steam engines that typically drive ( turn ) propellers or paddlewheels . The first steamships came into practical usage during the early 1800s ; however , there were exceptions that came before . Steamships usually use the prefix designations of `` PS '' for paddle steamer or `` SS '' for screw steamer ( using a propeller or screw ) . As paddle steamers became less common , `` SS '' is assumed by many to stand for `` steam ship '' . Ships powered by internal combustion engines use a prefix such as `` MV '' for motor vessel , so it is not correct to use `` SS '' for most modern vessels . As steamships were less dependent on wind patterns , new trade routes opened up . The steamship has been described as a `` major driver of the first wave of trade globalization ( 1870 -- 1913 ) '' and contributor to `` an increase in international trade that was unprecedented in human history . '' Contents 1 History 2 Screw - propeller steamers 3 Name prefix 4 First ocean - going steamships 5 Long - distance commercial steamships 6 Era of the ocean liner 7 Decline of the steamship 8 1970 -- present day 9 See also 10 Notes 11 References 12 Bibliography 13 Further reading 14 External links History ( edit ) The steamship was preceded by smaller vessels designed for insular transportation , called steamboats . Once the technology of steam was mastered at this level , steam engines were mounted on larger , and eventually , ocean - going vessels . Becoming reliable , and propelled by screw rather than paddlewheels , the technology changed the design of ships for faster , more economic propulsion . Paddlewheels as the main motive source became standard on these early vessels ( see Paddle steamer ) . It was an effective means of propulsion under ideal conditions but otherwise had serious drawbacks . The paddle - wheel performed best when it operated at a certain depth , however when the depth of the ship changed from added weight it further submerged the paddle wheel causing a substantial decrease in performance . Within a few decades of the development of the river and canal steamboat , the first steamships began to cross the Atlantic Ocean . The first sea - going steamboat was Richard Wright 's first steamboat Experiment , an ex-French lugger ; she steamed from Leeds to Yarmouth in July 1813 . The first iron steamship to go to sea was the 116 - ton Aaron Manby , built in 1821 by Aaron Manby at the Horseley Ironworks , and became the first iron - built vessel to put to sea when she crossed the English Channel in 1822 , arriving in Paris on 22 June . She carried passengers and freight to Paris in 1822 at an average speed of 8 knots ( 9 mph , 14 km / h ) . The side - wheel paddle steamer SS Great Western , the first purpose - built transatlantic steamship , on its maiden voyage in 1838 . The American ship SS Savannah first crossed the Atlantic Ocean , although most of the voyage was actually made under sail . The first ship to make the transatlantic trip substantially under steam power may have been the British - built Dutch - owned Curaçao , a wooden 438 ton vessel built in Dover and powered by two 50 hp engines , which crossed from Hellevoetsluis , near Rotterdam on 26 April 1827 to Paramaribo , Surinam on 24 May , spending 11 days under steam on the way out and more on the return . Another claimant is the Canadian ship SS Royal William in 1833 . The first steamship purpose - built for regularly scheduled trans - Atlantic crossings was the British side - wheel paddle steamer SS Great Western built by Isambard Kingdom Brunel in 1838 , which inaugurated the era of the trans - Atlantic ocean liner . The SS Archimedes , built in Britain in 1839 by Francis Pettit Smith , was the world 's first screw propeller - driven steamship for open water seagoing . It had considerable influence on ship development , encouraging the adoption of screw propulsion by the Royal Navy , in addition to her influence on commercial vessels . The first screw - driven propeller steamship introduced in America was on a ship built by Thomas Clyde in 1844 and many more ships and routes followed . Screw - propeller steamers ( edit ) See also : Propeller ( marine ) Francis Pettit Smith 1836 patent for his propeller design originally fitted to the Archimedes . The key innovation that made ocean - going steamers viable was the change from the paddle - wheel to the screw - propeller as the mechanism of propulsion . These steamships quickly became more popular , because the propeller 's efficiency was consistent regardless of the depth at which it operated . Being smaller in size and mass and being completely submerged , it was also far less prone to damage . James Watt of Scotland is widely given credit for applying the first screw propeller to an engine at his Birmingham works , an early steam engine , beginning the use of an hydrodynamic screw for propulsion . The development of screw propulsion relied on the following technological innovations . Steam engines had to be designed with the power delivered at the bottom of the machinery , to give direct drive to the propeller shaft . A paddle steamer 's engines drive a shaft that is positioned above the waterline , with the cylinders positioned below the shaft . SS Great Britain used chain drive to transmit power from a paddler 's engine to the propeller shaft - the result of a late design change to propeller propulsion . Image of stern tube and propeller shaft in a lighthouse ship . An effective stern tube and associated bearings were required . The stern tube contains the propeller shaft where it passes through the hull structure . It should provide an unrestricted delivery of power by the propeller shaft . The combination of hull and stern tube must avoid any flexing that will bend the shaft or cause uneven wear . The inboard end has a stuffing box that prevents water from entering the hull along the tube . Some early stern tubes were made of brass and operated as a water lubricated bearing along the entire length . In other instances a long bush of soft metal was fitted in the after end of the stern tube . The Great Eastern had this arrangement fail on her first transatlantic voyage , with very large amounts of uneven wear . The problem was solved with a lignum vitae water - lubricated bearing , patented in 1858 . This became standard practice and is in use today . Since the motive power of screw propulsion is delivered along the shaft , a thrust bearing is needed to transfer that load to the hull without excessive friction . SS Great Britain had a 2 ft diameter gunmetal plate on the forward end of the shaft which bore against a steel plate attached to the engine beds . Water at 200 psi was injected between these two surfaces to lubricate and separate them . This arrangement was not sufficient for higher engine powers and oil lubricated `` collar '' thrust bearings became standard from the early 1850s . This was superseded at the beginning of the 20th century by floating pad bearing which automatically built up wedges of oil which could withstand bearing pressures of 500 psi or more . Name prefix ( edit ) Steam - powered ships were named with a prefix designating their propeller configuration i.e. single , twin , triple - screw . Single - screw Steamship SS , Twin - Screw Steamship TSS , Triple - Screw Steamship TrSS . Steam turbine - driven ships had the prefix TS . In the UK the prefix RMS for Royal Mail Steamship overruled the screw configuration prefix . See Ship prefix First ocean - going steamships ( edit ) The first steamship credited with crossing the Atlantic Ocean between North America and Europe was the American ship SS Savannah , though she was actually a hybrid between a steamship and a sailing ship , with the first half of the journey making use of the steam engine . Savannah left the port of Savannah , Georgia , on 22 May 1819 , arriving in Liverpool , England , on 20 June 1819 ; her steam engine having been in use for part of the time on 18 days ( estimates vary from 8 to 80 hours ) . A claimant to the title of the first ship to make the transatlantic trip substantially under steam power is the British - built Dutch - owned Curaçao , a wooden 438 ton vessel built in Dover and powered by two 50 hp engines , which crossed from Hellevoetsluis , near Rotterdam on 26 April 1827 to Paramaribo , Surinam on 24 May , spending 11 days under steam on the way out and more on the return . Another claimant is the Canadian ship SS Royal William in 1833 . The British side - wheel paddle steamer SS Great Western was the first steamship purpose - built for regularly scheduled trans - Atlantic crossings , starting in 1838 . In 1836 Isambard Kingdom Brunel and a group of Bristol investors formed the Great Western Steamship Company to build a line of steamships for the Bristol - New York route . The idea of regular scheduled transatlantic service was under discussion by several groups and the rival British and American Steam Navigation Company was established at the same time . Great Western 's design sparked controversy from critics that contended that she was too big . The principle that Brunel understood was that the carrying capacity of a hull increases as the cube of its dimensions , while water resistance only increases as the square of its dimensions . This meant that large ships were more fuel efficient , something very important for long voyages across the Atlantic . Great Western was an iron - strapped , wooden , side - wheel paddle steamer , with four masts to hoist the auxiliary sails . The sails were not just to provide auxiliary propulsion , but also were used in rough seas to keep the ship on an even keel and ensure that both paddle wheels remained in the water , driving the ship in a straight line . The hull was built of oak by traditional methods . She was the largest steamship for one year , until the British and American 's British Queen went into service . Built at the shipyard of Patterson & Mercer in Bristol , Great Western was launched on 19 July 1837 and then sailed to London , where she was fitted with two side - lever steam engines from the firm of Maudslay , Sons & Field , producing 750 indicated horsepower between them . The ship proved satisfactory in service and initiated the transatlantic route , acting as a model for all following Atlantic paddle - steamers . The Cunard Line 's RMS Britannia began her first regular passenger and cargo service by a steamship in 1840 , sailing from Liverpool to Boston . In 1847 the revolutionary SS Great Britain , also built by Brunel , became the first iron - hulled screw - driven ship to cross the Atlantic . The SS Great Britain was the first ship to combine these two innovations . After the initial success of its first liner , SS Great Western of 1838 , the Great Western Steamship Company assembled the same engineering team that had collaborated so successfully before . This time however , Brunel , whose reputation was at its height , came to assert overall control over design of the ship -- a state of affairs that would have far - reaching consequences for the company . Construction was carried out in a specially adapted dry dock in Bristol , England . Great Britain in the Cumberland Basin , April 1844 . This historic photograph by William Talbot is believed to be the first ever taken of a ship . Brunel was given a chance to inspect John Laird 's 213 - foot ( 65 m ) ( English ) channel packet ship Rainbow -- the largest iron - hulled ship then in service -- in 1838 , and was soon converted to iron - hulled technology . He scrapped his plans to build a wooden ship and persuaded the company directors to build an iron - hulled ship . Iron 's advantages included being much cheaper than wood , not being subject to dry rot or woodworm , and its much greater structural strength . The practical limit on the length of a wooden - hulled ship is about 300 feet , after which hogging -- the flexing of the hull as waves pass beneath it -- become too great . Iron hulls are far less subject to hogging , so that the potential size of an iron - hulled ship is much greater . In the spring of 1840 Brunel also had the opportunity to inspect the SS Archimedes , the first screw - propelled steamship , completed only a few months before by F.P. Smith 's Propeller Steamship Company . Brunel had been looking into methods of improving the performance of Great Britain 's paddlewheels , and took an immediate interest in the new technology , and Smith , sensing a prestigious new customer for his own company , agreed to lend Archimedes to Brunel for extended tests . Over several months , Smith and Brunel tested a number of different propellers on Archimedes in order to find the most efficient design , a four - bladed model submitted by Smith . When launched in 1843 , Great Britain was by far the largest vessel afloat . Brunel 's last major project , the SS Great Eastern , was built in 1854 -- 57 with the intent of linking Great Britain with India , via the Cape of Good Hope , without any coaling stops . This ship was arguably more revolutionary than her predecessors . She was one of the first ships to be built with a double hull with watertight compartments and was the first liner to have four funnels . She was the biggest liner throughout the rest of the 19th century with a gross tonnage of almost 20,000 tons and had a passenger - carrying capacity of thousands . The ship was ahead of her time and went through a turbulent history , never being put to her intended use . The first transatlantic steamer built of steel was SS Buenos Ayrean , built by Allan Line Royal Mail Steamers and entering service in 1879 . The first regular steamship service from the East Coast to the West Coast of the United States began on 28 February 1849 , with the arrival of the SS California in San Francisco Bay . The California left New York Harbor on 6 October 1848 , rounded Cape Horn at the tip of South America , and arrived at San Francisco , California , after a four - month and 21 - day journey . The first steamship to operate on the Pacific Ocean was the paddle steamer Beaver , launched in 1836 to service Hudson 's Bay Company trading posts between Puget Sound Washington and Alaska . Long - distance commercial steamships ( edit ) The most testing route for steam was from Britain or the East Coast of the USA to the Far East . The distance from either is roughly the same , between 14,000 to 15,000 nautical miles ( 26,000 to 28,000 km ; 16,000 to 17,000 mi ) , traveling down the Atlantic , round the southern tip of Africa and across the Indian Ocean . Before 1866 , no steamship could carry enough coal to make this voyage and have enough space left to carry a commercial cargo . A partial solution to this problem was adopted by the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company ( P&O ) , using an overland section between Alexandria and Suez , with connecting steamship routes along the Mediterranean and then through the Red Sea . While this worked for passengers and some high value cargo , sail was still the only solution for virtually all trade between China and Western Europe or East Coast America . Most notable of these cargoes was tea , typically carried in clippers . Another partial solution was the Steam Auxiliary Ship - a vessel with a steam engine , but also rigged as a sailing vessel . The steam engine would only be used when conditions were unsuitable for sailing - in light or contrary winds . Some of this type ( for instance Erl King ) were built with propellers that could be lifted clear of the water to reduce drag when under sail power alone . These ships struggled to be successful on the route to China , as the standing rigging required when sailing was a handicap when steaming into a head wind , most notably against the southwest monsoon when returning with a cargo of new tea . Though the auxiliary steamers persisted in competing in far eastern trade for a few years ( and it was Erl King that carried the first cargo of tea through the Suez Canal ) , they soon moved on to other routes . What was needed was a big improvement in fuel efficiency . While the boilers for steam engines on land were allowed to run at high pressures , the Board of Trade ( under the authority of the Merchant Shipping Act 1854 ) would not allow ships to exceed 20 or 25 pounds per square inch ( 140 or 170 kPa ) . Compound engines were a known source of improved efficiency -- but generally not used at sea due to the low pressures available . Carnatic ( 1863 ) , a P&O ship , had a compound engine - and achieved better efficiency than other ships of the time . Her boilers ran at 26 pounds per square inch ( 180 kPa ) but relied on a substantial amount of superheat . Alfred Holt , who had entered marine engineering and ship management after an apprenticeship in railway engineering , experimented with boiler pressures of 60 pounds per square inch ( 410 kPa ) in Cleator . Holt was able to persuade the Board of Trade to allow these boiler pressures and , in partnership with his brother Phillip launched Agamemnon in 1865 . Holt had designed a particularly compact compound engine and taken great care with the hull design , producing a light , strong , easily driven hull . SS Agamemnon ( 1865 ) The efficiency of Holt 's package of boiler pressure , compound engine and hull design gave a ship that could steam at 10 knots on 20 long tons of coal a day . This fuel consumption was a saving from between 23 and 14 long tons a day , compared to other contemporary steamers . Not only did less coal need to be carried to travel a given distance , but fewer firemen were needed to fuel the boilers , so crew costs and their accommodation space were reduced . Agamemnon was able to sail from London to China with a coaling stop at Mauritius on the outward and return journey , with a time on passage substantially less than the competing sailing vessels . Holt had already ordered two sister ships to Agamemnon by the time she had returned from her first trip to China in 1866 , operating these ships in the newly formed Blue Funnel Line . His competitors rapidly copied his ideas for their own new ships . The opening of the Suez Canal in 1869 gave a distance saving of 3,300 nautical miles ( 6,100 km ; 3,800 mi ) on the route from China to London . The canal was not a practical option for sailing vessels , as using a tug was difficult and expensive -- so this distance saving was not available to them . Steamships immediately made use of this new waterway and found themselves in high demand in China for the start of the 1870 tea season . The steamships were able to obtain a much higher rate of freight than sailing ships and the insurance premium for the cargo was less . So successful were the steamers using the Suez Canal that , in 1871 , 45 were built in Clyde shipyards alone for Far Eastern trade . Era of the ocean liner ( edit ) RMS Oceanic , an important turning point in ocean liner design By 1870 a number of inventions such as the screw propeller , the compound engine , and the triple - expansion engine made trans - oceanic shipping on a large scale economically viable . In 1870 the White Star Line 's RMS Oceanic set a new standard for ocean travel by having its first - class cabins amidships , with the added amenity of large portholes , electricity and running water . The size of ocean liners increased from 1880 to meet the needs of the human migration to the United States and Australia . RMS Umbria and her sister ship RMS Etruria were the last two Cunard liners of the period to be fitted with auxiliary sails . Both ships were built by John Elder & Co. of Glasgow , Scotland , in 1884 . They were record breakers by the standards of the time , and were the largest liners then in service , plying the Liverpool to New York route . RMS Titanic was the largest steamship in the world when she sank in 1912 ; a subsequent major sinking of a steamer was that of the RMS Lusitania , as an act of World War I . RMS Titanic was the largest steamship in the world in 1912 Launched in 1938 , RMS Queen Elizabeth was the largest passenger steamship ever built . Launched in 1969 , RMS Queen Elizabeth 2 ( QE2 ) was the last passenger steamship to cross the Atlantic Ocean on a scheduled liner voyage before she was converted to diesels in 1986 . The last major passenger ship built with steam turbines was the Fairsky , launched in 1984 , later Atlantic Star , reportedly sold to Turkish shipbreakers in 2013 . Most luxury yachts at the end of the 19th and early 20th centuries were steam driven ( see luxury yacht ; also Cox & King yachts ) . Thomas Assheton Smith was an English aristocrat who forwarded the design of the steam yacht in conjunction with the Scottish marine engineer Robert Napier . Decline of the steamship ( edit ) The decline of the steamship began after World War II . Many had been lost in the war , and marine diesel engines had finally matured as an economical and viable alternative to steam power . The diesel engine had far better thermal efficiency than the reciprocating steam engine , and was far easier to control . Diesel engines also required far less supervision and maintenance than steam engines , and as an internal combustion engine it did not need boilers or a water supply , therefore was more space efficient . The Liberty ships were the last major steamship class equipped with reciprocating engines . The last Victory ships had already been equipped with marine diesels , and diesel engines superseded both steamers and windjammers soon after World War Two . Most steamers were used up to their maximum economical life span , and no commercial ocean - going steamers with reciprocating engines have been built since the 1960s . 1970 -- Present day ( edit ) RMS Mauretania , built in 1906 , and the sister to the RMS Lusitania , was one of the first ocean liners to adopt the steam turbine and was soon followed by all subsequent liners . Most steamships today are powered by steam turbines . After the demonstration by British engineer Charles Parsons of his steam turbine - driven yacht , Turbinia , in 1897 , the use of steam turbines for propulsion quickly spread . The Cunard RMS Mauretania , built in 1906 was one of the first ocean liners to use the steam turbine ( with a late design change shortly before her keel was laid down ) and was soon followed by all subsequent liners . Most capital ships of the major navies were propelled by steam turbines burning bunker fuel in both World Wars . Large naval vessels and submarines continue to be operated with steam turbines , using nuclear reactors to boil the water . NS Savannah , was the first nuclear - powered cargo - passenger ship , and was built in the late 1950s as a demonstration project for the potential use of nuclear energy . Thousands of Liberty Ships ( powered by steam piston engines ) and Victory Ships ( powered by steam turbine engines ) were built in World War II . A few of these survive as floating museums and sail occasionally : SS Jeremiah O'Brien , SS John W. Brown , SS American Victory , SS Lane Victory , and SS Red Oak Victory . A steam turbine ship can be either direct propulsion ( the turbines , equipped with a reduction gear , rotate directly the propellers ) , or turboelectric ( the turbines rotate electric generators , which in turn feed electric motors operating the propellers ) . While steam turbine - driven merchant ships such as the Algol - class cargo ships ( 1972 -- 1973 ) , ALP Pacesetter - class container ships ( 1973 -- 1974 ) and very large crude carriers were built until the 1970s , the use of steam for marine propulsion in the commercial market has declined dramatically due to the development of more efficient diesel engines . One notable exception are LNG carriers which use boil - off gas from the cargo tanks as fuel . However , even there the development of dual - fuel engines has pushed steam turbines into a niche market with about 10 % market share in newbuildings in 2013 . Lately , there has been some development in hybrid power plants where the steam turbine is used together with gas engines . As of August 2017 the newest class of Steam Turbine ships are the Seri Camellia - class LNG carriers built by Hyundai Heavy Industries ( HHI ) starting in 2016 and comprising five units . Nuclear powered ships are basically steam turbine vessels . The boiler is heated , not by heat of combustion , but by the heat generated by nuclear reactor . Most atomic - powered ships today are either aircraft carriers or submarines .

Hooterville Cannonball
Hooterville Cannonball - wikipedia Hooterville Cannonball Jump to : navigation , search Hooterville Cannonball Petticoat Junction Green Acres The Beverly Hillbillies character Worker ( s ) Charley Pratt ( engineer ) Floyd Smoot ( conductor ) Information Species 1890s abbreviated train Occupation Train Taxicab The Hooterville Cannonball is a fictional railroad train featured in Petticoat Junction , an American situation comedy that originally aired on CBS from 1963 to 1970 , and was produced by Filmways , Inc. , who also produced Green Acres and The Beverly Hillbillies . Petticoat Junction shares some characters and its locale , the fictional town of Hooterville , with Green Acres . The shows feature rural characters in humorous and sometimes absurd situations . Contents ( hide ) 1 Petticoat Junction 2 Production 3 Popular culture 4 References 5 External links Petticoat Junction ( edit ) The most unusual `` character '' in the Petticoat Junction cast is the Hooterville Cannonball , an 1890s abbreviated train with a steam locomotive and single combination car ( with a baggage and passenger section ) . The train is operated more like a taxi service by retired engineer Charley Pratt ( Smiley Burnette ) and retired conductor Floyd Smoot ( Rufe Davis ) . It operates on a long forgotten spur between Hooterville and Pixley that was disconnected from the railway 's main line after the collapse of a trestle twenty years before the start of the series . It is not uncommon for the Cannonball to make an unscheduled stop in order to go fishing or to pick fruit for Kate Bradley 's menu at the Shady Rest Hotel . Occasionally , Betty Jo Bradley can be found with her hand on the Cannonball 's throttle , as running the train home from trips into town is one of her favorite pastimes . J. Homer Bedloe ( played by Charles Lane ) is vice president of the C&FW Railroad , the owner of the Cannonball . Bedloe is a mean - spirited executive , and he periodically visits the Shady Rest Hotel and attempts to end the train service of the Hooterville Cannonball ( and never succeeds ) . In Episode 31 of Season 1 , `` Charley Abandons The Cannonball , '' engineer Charley Pratt picks up his guitar and sings an ode to the train . The lyrics are sung roughly to the tune of `` Wabash Cannonball '' . Production ( edit ) Two Hooterville Cannonball trains used were for filming . The working model was the Sierra No. 3 locomotive , and it was used to film all the exterior `` long shots '' , including the show 's opening and closing credits . This locomotive is still operational at Railtown 1897 State Historic Park in California , after a complete restoration that was finished in 2010 . Clint Eastwood was part of a fundraiser for the restoration . He was familiar with the Sierra No. 3 from his days on the western television show Rawhide , and he used it in his films Pale Rider and Unforgiven . A full - scale prop locomotive was used for studio sound stage scenes . It was built in 1950 by 20th Century Fox for a movie called A Ticket to Tomahawk , starring Dan Dailey , Walter Brennan , Rory Calhoun and Marilyn Monroe . Built of wood , fiberglass and metal , it was a replica of a locomotive called the Emma Sweeny , and it was pulled by a team of mules for its scenes in the film . The original 1950 cost of the elaborate studio mock - up was $40,000 . Later in the 1950s , Fox sold the locomotive replica to Harvey Dick , who used it for the décor of the Barbary Coast Lounge in the lobby of his Hoyt Hotel , an 1890s style gas - light hotel in Portland , Oregon . Harvey Dick loaned the replica to the producers of Petticoat Junction in exchange for the prominent screen credit seen at the end of each episode , `` Train furnished by Barbary Coast , Hoyt Hotel , Portland , Oregon '' . It was also used in the show The Wild Wild West for scenes of the engine and tender . In the 1970s , the locomotive replica was purchased by Sacramento restaurateur / collector Sam Gordon . Gordon displayed it in the parking lot of his Sam 's Stage Coach Inn ( Sam 's Town ) along Highway 50 in Cameron Park , California , about 30 miles east of Sacramento . The replica fell into disrepair . In 1979 , it was purchased by John Queirolo and Rick Stevenson , who later gave it to the Amador County Museum in Jackson , California , where it was restored and displayed . In August 2011 , the Amador County museum sold the locomotive replica to the Durango Railroad Historical Society in Durango , Colorado , which planned to restore it to its original state as the Emma Sweeny .

where is the train used in petticoat junction
[ "The most unusual \"character\" in the Petticoat Junction cast is the Hooterville Cannonball, an 1890s abbreviated train with a steam locomotive and single combination car (with a baggage and passenger section). The train is operated more like a taxi service by retired engineer Charley Pratt (Smiley Burnette) and retired conductor Floyd Smoot (Rufe Davis). It operates on a long forgotten spur between Hooterville and Pixley that was disconnected from the railway's main line after the collapse of a trestle twenty years before the start of the series. It is not uncommon for the Cannonball to make an unscheduled stop in order to go fishing or to pick fruit for Kate Bradley's menu at the Shady Rest Hotel. Occasionally, Betty Jo Bradley can be found with her hand on the Cannonball's throttle, as running the train home from trips into town is one of her favorite pastimes." ]

It was recorded by Redding twice in 1967 , including once just days before his death in a plane crash . The song was released on Stax Records ' Volt label in 1968 , becoming the first posthumous single to top the charts in the US . It reached number 3 on the UK Singles Chart . Redding started writing the lyrics to the song in August 1967 , while sitting on a rented houseboat in Sausalito , California . He completed the song with the help of Cropper , who was a Stax producer and the guitarist for Booker T. & the M.G. 's . The song features whistling and sounds of waves crashing on a shore . Contents 1 Origins 2 Personnel 2.1 Charts 2.1. 1 Weekly charts 2.1. 2 Year - end charts 3 Later versions 4 Reception 4.1 Universal success 4.2 Legacy 4.2. 1 Other cover versions 5 References 6 Bibliography 7 External links Origins ( edit ) While on tour with the Bar - Kays in August 1967 , Redding wrote the first verse of the song , under the abbreviated title `` Dock of the Bay , '' on a houseboat at Waldo Point in Sausalito , California . He had completed his famed performance at the Monterey Pop Festival just weeks earlier . While touring in support of the albums King & Queen ( a collaboration with female vocalist Carla Thomas ) and Live in Europe , he continued to scribble lines of the song on napkins and hotel paper . In November of that year , he joined producer and guitarist Steve Cropper at the Stax recording studio in Memphis , Tennessee , to record the song . In a September 1990 interview on NPR 's Fresh Air , Cropper explained the origins of the song : Otis was one of those the kind of guy who had 100 ideas . ( ... ) He had been in San Francisco doing The Fillmore . And the story that I got he was renting boathouse or stayed at a boathouse or something and that 's where he got the idea of the ships coming in the bay there . And that 's about all he had : `` I watch the ships come in and I watch them roll away again . '' I just took that ... and I finished the lyrics . If you listen to the songs I collaborated with Otis , most of the lyrics are about him . ( ... ) Otis did n't really write about himself but I did . Songs like `` Mr. Pitiful , '' `` Fa - Fa - Fa - Fa - Fa ( Sad Song ) '' ; they were about Otis and Otis ' life . `` Dock of the Bay '' was exactly that : `` I left my home in Georgia , headed for the Frisco Bay '' was all about him going out to San Francisco to perform . Together , they completed the music and melancholic lyrics of `` ( Sittin ' On ) The Dock of the Bay . '' From those sessions emerged Redding 's final recorded work , including `` Dock of the Bay , '' which was recorded on November 22 , with additional overdubs on December 7 . Redding 's restrained yet emotive delivery is backed by Cropper 's succinct guitar playing . The song is somewhat different in style from most of Redding 's other recordings . While discussing the song with his wife , Redding stated that he had wanted to `` be a little different '' with `` The Dock of the Bay '' and `` change his style '' . There were concerns that `` The Dock of the Bay '' had too much of a pop feel for an Otis Redding record , and contracting the Stax gospel act the Staple Singers to record backing vocals was discussed but never carried out . Redding had considered the song to be unfinished and planned to record what he considered a final version , but never got the chance . The song features a whistled tune heard before the song 's fade . It was originally performed by Redding , who ( according to Cropper ) had `` this little fadeout rap he was gon na do , an ad - lib . He forgot what it was so he started whistling . '' Redding continued to tour after the recording sessions . On December 10 , his charter plane crashed into Lake Monona , outside Madison , Wisconsin . Redding and six others were killed . After Redding 's death , Cropper mixed `` Dock of the Bay '' at Stax Studios . He added the sound of seagulls and waves crashing to the background , as Redding had requested , recalling the sounds he heard when he was staying on the houseboat .

( June 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) `` The Dock of the Bay '' has been hugely popular , even after its stay at the top of the charts . The song has been recorded by many artists , from Redding 's peers , like Glen Campbell , Cher , Peggy Lee , David Allan Coe , Bob Dylan , Don Partridge , Percy Sledge , Dee Clark , and Sam & Dave , to artists in various genres , including Jimmy Velvit ( whose cover version was included on his 2001 Grammy - nominated album Sun Sea & Sand ) , Widespread Panic ( who opened their New Year 's Eve 2005 concert with the song ) , Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson ( whose duet peaked at number 13 on the U.S. Hot Country Songs chart ) , Kenny Rankin , Dennis Brown , Michel Pagliaro , Jacob Miller , Pearl Jam , the Format , T. Rex ( as the B - side of `` Dreamy Lady '' , released in 1975 ) , Brent Smith of Shinedown ( during an acoustic set in 2008 and with Zach Myers in a 2014 EP ) and Garth Brooks ( for the 2013 Blue - Eyed Soul album in the Blame It All on My Roots : Five Decades of Influences compilation ) as well as John Hartford on the Retrograss album with David Grisman and Mike Seeger ( 1999 ) . Sammy Hagar released a version of the song as a non-album single in 1979 . His version features the song 's co-writer , Steve Cropper , on guitar and members of the band Boston -- Brad Delp , Sib Hashian and Barry Goudreau -- on backup vocals . Producer John S. Carter had the track recorded in May 1979 with Cropper , bassist Leland Sklar and drummer Alvin Taylor . Later , he added Hagar 's vocals with background harmonies by the three members of Boston , with whom Hagar had just toured . Although the single was a modest hit for Hagar , peaking at number 65 on the Billboard Hot 100 , he considered it Carter 's efforts to manufacture a pop top 40 pop hit despite Hagar 's heavy metal roots . Hagar and Cropper 's work on the song was rated the thirty - seventh worst guitar solo in history by Pitchfork in 1998 . The song was not released on an album until 1992 , when it appeared on The Best of Sammy Hagar . The B - side of Hagar 's single was the first release of his studio version of `` I 've Done Everything for You '' . Michael Bolton included the song on his 1987 album The Hunger . His version peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 . Zelma Redding , Otis 's widow , said she was so moved by Bolton 's performance `` that it brought tears to my eyes . It reminded me so much of my husband that I know if he heard it , he would feel the same . '' In a framed letter that hangs on the wall of Bolton 's office , she referred to the record as `` my all - time favorite version of my husband 's classic . '' In April 2013 , Justin Timberlake performed the song as part of a tribute to Memphis soul music at the `` In Performance '' concert series performed at the White House . The series was attended by President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama . Reception ( edit ) Phil Walden and Jim Stewart were among those who had doubts about the song , the sound , and the production . Redding accepted some of the criticisms and fine - tuned the song . He reversed the opening , which was Redding 's whistling part , and put it at the end as suggested . `` The Dock of the Bay '' was released early in 1968 and topped the charts in the US and UK . Billboard ranked the record as the number 4 song for 1968 . Universal success ( edit ) `` ( Sittin ' On ) The Dock of the Bay '' was released in January 1968 , shortly after Redding 's death . R&B stations quickly added the song to their playlists , which had been saturated with Redding 's previous hits . The song shot to number one on the R&B charts in early 1968 and , starting in March , topped the pop charts for four weeks . The album , which shared the song 's title , became his largest - selling to date , peaking at number four on the pop albums chart . `` Dock of the Bay '' was popular in countries across the world and became Redding 's most successful record , selling more than four million copies worldwide . The song went on to win two Grammy Awards : Best R&B Song and Best Male R&B Vocal Performance . Legacy ( edit ) Redding 's body of work at the time of his death was immense , including a backlog of archived recordings as well as those created in November and December 1967 , just before his death . In mid-1968 , Stax Records severed its distribution contract with Atlantic Records , which retained the label 's back catalog and the rights to the unreleased Otis Redding masters . Through its Atco subsidiary ( Atco had distributed Otis Redding 's releases from Stax 's Volt label ) , Atlantic issued three more albums of new Redding material , one live album , and eight singles between 1968 and 1970 . Reprise Records issued a live album featuring Redding and Jimi Hendrix at the Monterey Pop Festival . Both studio albums and anthologies sold well in America and abroad . Redding was especially successful in the United Kingdom , where The Dock of the Bay went to number one , becoming the first posthumous album to reach the top spot there . In 1999 , BMI named the song as the sixth-most performed song of the twentieth century , with about six million performances . Rolling Stone ranked The Dock of the Bay number 161 on its 500 Greatest Albums of All Time , the third of five Redding albums on the list . `` ( Sittin ' On ) The Dock of the Bay '' was ranked twenty - eighth on Rolling Stone 's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time , the second - highest of four Redding songs on the list , after `` Respect '' ( in this case the version recorded by Aretha Franklin ) . Jim Morrison made reference to `` Dock of the Bay '' in the Doors ' song `` Runnin ' Blue '' , written by Robby Krieger , from their 1969 album The Soft Parade . Morrison sings an a capella intro for the song , singing directly about Otis Redding . `` Poor Otis dead and gone , left me here to sing his song , pretty little girl with a red dress on , poor Otis dead and gone . '' And during the verse , the lyrics `` Got to find a dock and a bay '' appear more than once ; as well as several other references to Redding 's song . Other cover versions ( edit ) In addition to the original Otis Redding version , several other versions have charted on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States . King Curtis 's version charted for five weeks starting in March 1968 and peaked at number 84 ( during the same month , the original was number one ) . A year later , Sergio Mendes & Brasil ' 66 's version charted for five weeks starting in June 1969 and peaked at number 66 . Sammy Hagar 's version charted for five weeks starting in April 1979 , peaking at number 65 . The Reddings , who included two of Otis Redding 's sons , released a version which charted for nine weeks starting in June 1982 and peaked at number 55 . Michael Bolton 's rendition charted for 17 weeks starting in January 1988 and peaked at number 11 , making it the highest - charting cover version . In 2016 , the British coffee brand Nescafé remixed part of the song in a television advertisement featuring American musician will.i.am . References ( edit ) ^ Jump up to : Bowman , Rob ( 2007 ) .

Leah
Leah - wikipedia Leah For alternate uses , see Leah ( disambiguation ) . Dante 's Vision of Rachel and Leah -- Dante Gabriel Rossetti , 1855 Leah is described in the Hebrew Bible as the daughter of Laban . She and her younger sister Rachel became the two concurrent wives of Hebrew patriarch Jacob . She had six sons , whose descendants became some of the Twelve Tribes of Israel . She also had a daughter , Dinah . Contents 1 Personal history 1.1 Appearance 1.2 Marriage to Jacob 1.3 Motherhood 1.4 Rivalry with Rachel 1.5 Death and burial 1.6 Family tree 2 Medieval Christian symbolism 3 Notes 4 References 5 External links Personal history ( edit ) Appearance ( edit ) The Torah introduces Leah by describing her with the phrase , `` Leah had tender eyes '' ( Hebrew : ועיני לאה רכות ‎ ) ( Genesis 29 : 17 ) . It is argued as to whether the adjective `` tender '' ( רכות ) should be taken to mean `` delicate and soft '' or `` weary '' . The commentary of Rashi cites a Rabbinic interpretation of how Leah 's eyes became weak . According to this story , Leah was destined to marry Jacob 's older twin brother , Esau . In the Rabbinic mind , the two brothers are polar opposites ; Jacob being a God - fearing scholar and Esau being a hunter who also indulges in idolatry and adultery . But people were saying , `` Laban has two daughters and his sister , Rebekah , has two sons . The older daughter ( Leah ) will marry the older son ( Esau ) , and the younger daughter ( Rachel ) will marry the younger son ( Jacob ) . '' Hearing this , Leah spent most of her time weeping and praying to God to change her destined mate . Thus the Torah describes her eyes as `` soft '' from weeping . God hearkens to Leah 's tears and prayers and allows her to marry Jacob even before Rachel does . Marriage to Jacob ( edit ) Leah becomes Jacob 's wife through a deception on the part of her father , Laban . In the Biblical account , Jacob is dispatched to the hometown of Laban -- the brother of his mother Rebekah -- to avoid being killed by his brother Esau , and to find a wife . Out by the well , he encounters Laban 's younger daughter Rachel tending her father 's sheep , and decides to marry her . Laban is willing to give Rachel 's hand to Jacob as long as he works seven years for her . On the wedding night , however , Laban switches Leah for Rachel . Later Laban claims that it is uncustomary to give the younger daughter away in marriage before the older one ( Genesis 29 : 16 - 30 ) . Laban offers to give Rachel to Jacob in marriage in return for another seven years of work ( Genesis 29 : 27 ) . Jacob accepts the offer and marries Rachel after the week - long celebration of his marriage to Leah . Michelangelo 's Leah at the tomb of Pope Julius II at San Pietro in Vincoli . Motherhood ( edit ) Leah is the mother of six of Jacob 's sons , including his first four ( Reuben , Simeon , Levi , and Judah ) , and later two more ( Issachar and Zebulun ) , and a daughter ( Dinah ) . According to the scriptures , God saw that Leah was `` unloved '' and opened her womb as consolation . Seeing that she is unable to conceive , Rachel offers her handmaid Bilhah to Jacob , and names and raises the two sons ( Dan and Naphtali ) that Bilhah bears . Leah responds by offering her handmaid Zilpah to Jacob , and names and raises the two sons ( Gad and Asher ) that Zilpah bears . According to some commentaries , Bilhah and Zilpah are actually half - sisters of Leah and Rachel . One day , Leah 's firstborn son Reuben returns from the field with mandrakes for his mother . Leah has not conceived for a while , and this plant , whose roots resemble the human body , is thought to be an aid to fertility . Frustrated that she is not able to conceive at all , Rachel offers to trade her night with their husband in return for the mandrakes . Leah agrees , and that night she sleeps with Jacob and conceives Issachar . Afterwards she gives birth to Zebulun and to a daughter , Dinah . After that , God remembers Rachel and gives her two sons , Joseph and Benjamin . Rivalry with Rachel ( edit ) On a homiletical level , the classic Chassidic texts explain the sisters ' rivalry as more than marital jealousy . Each woman desired to grow spiritually in her avodat HaShem ( service of God ) , and therefore sought closeness to the tzadik ( Jacob ) who is God 's personal emissary in this world . By marrying Jacob and bearing his sons , who would be raised in the tzadik 's home and continue his mission into the next generation ( indeed , all 12 sons became tzadikim in their own right and formed the foundation of the Nation of Israel ) , they would develop an even closer relationship to God . Therefore , Leah and Rachel each wanted to have as many of those sons as possible , going so far as to offer their handmaids as proxies to Jacob so they could have a share in the upbringing of their handmaids ' sons , too . Each woman also continually questioned whether she was doing enough in her personal efforts toward increased spirituality , and would use the other 's example to spur herself on . Rachel envied Leah 's tearful prayers , by which she merited to marry the tzadik and bear six of his twelve sons . The Talmud ( Megillah 13b ) says that Rachel revealed to Leah the secret signs which she and Jacob had devised to identify the veiled bride , because they both suspected Laban would pull such a trick . Death and burial ( edit ) Leah died some time before Jacob ( according to Genesis 49 : 31 ) . She is thought to be buried in the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron alongside Jacob . This cave also houses the graves of Abraham and Sarah , and Isaac and Rebekah . Tomb of Leah , 1911 . Family tree ( edit ) Terah Sarah Abraham Hagar Haran Nahor Ishmael Milcah Lot Iscah Ishmaelites 7 sons Bethuel 1st daughter 2nd daughter Isaac Rebecca Laban Moabites Ammonites Esau Jacob Rachel Bilhah Edomites Zilpah Leah 1 . Reuben 2 . Simeon 3 . Levi 4 . Judah 9 . Issachar 10 . Zebulun Dinah ( daughter ) 7 . Gad 8 . Asher 5 . Dan 6 . Naphtali 11 . Joseph 12 . Benjamin According to this tree , Leah 's husband Jacob is her first cousin ( through their mutual grandfather Bethuel ) . They are also second cousins once removed ( Jacob 's great - grandfather through Abraham , Terah , is Leah 's great - great grandfather through Nahor ) ; and again second cousins once removed ( Jacob 's great - grandfather through Sarah , Terah , is Leah 's great - great - grandfather through Nahor ) . Finally , they are second cousins twice removed ( Jacob 's great - grandfather through Abraham , Terah , is Leah 's great - great - great - grandfather through Milcah ) ; and again second cousins twice removed ( Jacob 's great - grandfather through Sarah , Terah , is Leah 's great - great - great - grandfather through Milcah ) . Medieval christian symbolism ( edit ) In medieval Christian symbolism , Rachel was taken as a symbol of the contemplative ( monastic ) Christian life , and Leah as a symbol of the active ( non-monastic ) life . Dante Alighieri 's Purgatorio includes a dream of Rachel and Leah , which inspired illustrations by Dante Gabriel Rossetti and others : `` ... in my dream , I seemed to see a woman both young and fair ; along a plain she gathered flowers , and even as she sang , she said : Whoever asks my name , know that I 'm Leah , and I apply my lovely hands to fashion a garland of the flowers I have gathered .

Concurrence of both houses are required to pass any bill . However , the authors of the Constitution of India visualised situations of deadlock between the upper house i.e. Rajya Sabha and the lower house i.e. Lok Sabha . Therefore , the Constitution of India provides for Joint sittings of both the Houses to break this deadlock . The joint sitting of the Parliament is called by the President and is presided over by the Speaker or , in his absence , by the Deputy Speaker of the Lok Sabha or in his absence , the Deputy - Chairman of the Rajya Sabha .

The Articles of Confederation came into force on March 1 , 1781 , after being ratified by all 13 states . A guiding principle of the Articles was to preserve the independence and sovereignty of the states . The federal government received only those powers which the colonies had recognized as belonging to king and parliament . The Articles formed a war - time confederation of states , with an extremely limited central government . While unratified , the document was used by the Congress to conduct business , direct the American Revolutionary War , conduct diplomacy with foreign nations , and deal with territorial issues and Native American relations . The adoption of the Articles made few perceptible changes in the federal government , because it did little more than legalize what the Continental Congress had been doing . That body was renamed the Congress of the Confederation ; but Americans continued to call it the Continental Congress , since its organization remained the same . As the Confederation Congress attempted to govern the continually growing American states , delegates discovered that the limitations placed upon the central government rendered it ineffective at doing so . As the government 's weaknesses became apparent , especially after Shays ' Rebellion , individuals began asking for changes to the Articles . Their hope was to create a stronger national government . Initially , some states met to deal with their trade and economic problems . However , as more states became interested in meeting to change the Articles , a meeting was set in Philadelphia on May 25 , 1787 . This became the Constitutional Convention . It was quickly realized that changes would not work , and instead the entire Articles needed to be replaced . On March 4 , 1789 , the government under the Articles was replaced with the federal government under the Constitution . The new Constitution provided for a much stronger federal government by establishing a chief executive ( the President ) , courts , and taxing powers .

The Articles of Confederation would bear some resemblance to it . Over the next two decades , some of the basic concepts it addressed would strengthen and others would weaken , particularly the degree of deserved loyalty to the crown . With civil disobedience resulting in coercive , and what the colonials perceived as intolerable acts of Parliament , and armed conflict resulting in dissidents being proclaimed rebels and outside the King 's protection , any loyalty remaining shifted toward independence and how to achieve it . In 1775 , with events outpacing communications , the Second Continental Congress began acting as the provisional government that would run the American Revolutionary War and gain the colonies their collective independence . It was an era of constitution writing -- most states were busy at the task -- and leaders felt the new nation must have a written constitution , even though other nations did not . During the war , Congress exercised an unprecedented level of political , diplomatic , military and economic authority . It adopted trade restrictions , established and maintained an army , issued fiat money , created a military code and negotiated with foreign governments . To transform themselves from outlaws into a legitimate nation , the colonists needed international recognition for their cause and foreign allies to support it . In early 1776 , Thomas Paine argued in the closing pages of the first edition of Common Sense that the `` custom of nations '' demanded a formal declaration of American independence if any European power were to mediate a peace between the Americans and Great Britain . The monarchies of France and Spain in particular could not be expected to aid those they considered rebels against another legitimate monarch . Foreign courts needed to have American grievances laid before them persuasively in a `` manifesto '' which could also reassure them that the Americans would be reliable trading partners . Without such a declaration , Paine concluded , `` ( t ) he custom of all courts is against us , and will be so , until , by an independence , we take rank with other nations . '' Beyond improving their existing association , the records of the Second Continental Congress show that the need for a declaration of independence was intimately linked with the demands of international relations . On June 7 , 1776 , Richard Henry Lee introduced a resolution before the Continental Congress declaring the colonies independent ; at the same time he also urged Congress to resolve `` to take the most effectual measures for forming foreign Alliances '' and to prepare a plan of confederation for the newly independent states . Congress then created three overlapping committees to draft the Declaration , a Model Treaty , and the Articles of Confederation . The Declaration announced the states ' entry into the international system ; the model treaty was designed to establish amity and commerce with other states ; and the Articles of Confederation , which established `` a firm league '' among the thirteen free and independent states , constituted an international agreement to set up central institutions for the conduct of vital domestic and foreign affairs . Drafting Articles of Confederation 200th Anniversary commemorative stamp . First issued in York , Pennsylvania. , 1977 On June 12 , 1776 , a day after appointing a committee to prepare a draft of the Declaration of Independence , the Second Continental Congress resolved to appoint a committee of 13 to prepare a draft of a constitution for a union of the states . The committee met repeatedly , and chairman John Dickinson presented their results to the Congress on July 12 , 1776 . There were long debates on such issues as sovereignty , the exact powers to be given the confederate government , whether to have a judiciary , and voting procedures . The final draft of the Articles was prepared in the summer of 1777 and the Second Continental Congress approved them for ratification by the individual states on November 15 , 1777 , after a year of debate . In practice , the Articles were in use beginning in 1777 ; the final draft of the Articles served as the de facto system of government used by the Congress ( `` the United States in Congress assembled '' ) until it became de jure by final ratification on March 1 , 1781 ; at which point Congress became the Congress of the Confederation . Under the Articles , the states retained sovereignty over all governmental functions not specifically relinquished to the national government . The individual articles set the rules for current and future operations of the United States government . It was made capable of making war and peace , negotiating diplomatic and commercial agreements with foreign countries , and deciding disputes between the states , including their additional and contested western territories . Article XIII stipulated that `` their provisions shall be inviolably observed by every state '' and `` the Union shall be perpetual '' . John Dickinson 's and Benjamin Franklin 's handwritten drafts of the Articles of Confederation are housed at the National Archives in Washington , DC . Ratification Congress began to move for ratification of the Articles of Confederation in 1777 : Permit us , then , earnestly to recommend these articles to the immediate and dispassionate attention of the legislatures of the respective states . Let them be candidly reviewed under a sense of the difficulty of combining in one system the various sentiments and interests of a continent divided into so many sovereign and independent communities , under a conviction of the absolute necessity of uniting all our councils and all our strength , to maintain and defend our common liberties ... The document could not become officially effective until it was ratified by all 13 states . The first state to ratify was Virginia on December 16 , 1777 ; the thirteenth state to ratify was Maryland on February 2 , 1781 . A ceremonial confirmation of this thirteenth , final ratification took place in the Congress on March 1 , 1781 , at high noon . Twelve states had ratified the Articles by February 1779 , 14 months into the process . Maryland , however , refused to go along until the landed states , especially Virginia , had indicated they were prepared to cede their claims west of the Ohio River to the Union . It would be two years before the Maryland legislature became satisfied that they would follow through , and voted to ratify . The various states ratified the Articles of Confederation on the following dates : State Date 13 ! 1 Virginia 000000001777 - 12 - 16 - 0000 December 16 , 1777 12 ! 2 South Carolina 000000001778 - 02 - 05 - 0000 February 5 , 1778 08 ! 3 New York 000000001778 - 02 - 06 - 0000 February 6 , 1778 11 ! 4 Rhode Island 000000001778 - 02 - 09 - 0000 February 9 , 1778 01 ! 5 Connecticut 000000001778 - 02 - 12 - 0000 February 12 , 1778 03 ! 6 Georgia 000000001778 - 02 - 26 - 0000 February 26 , 1778 06 ! 7 New Hampshire 000000001778 - 03 - 04 - 0000 March 4 , 1778 10 ! 8 Pennsylvania 000000001778 - 03 - 05 - 0000 March 5 , 1778 05 ! 9 Massachusetts 000000001778 - 03 - 10 - 0000 March 10 , 1778 09 ! 10 North Carolina 000000001778 - 04 - 05 - 0000 April 5 , 1778 07 ! 11 New Jersey 000000001778 - 11 - 19 - 0000 November 19 , 1778 02 ! 12 Delaware 000000001779 - 02 - 01 - 0000 February 1 , 1779 04 ! 13 Maryland 000000001781 - 02 - 02 - 0000 February 2 , 1781 Article summaries The Articles of Confederation contain a preamble , thirteen articles , a conclusion , and a signatory section . The preamble declares that the states `` agree to certain articles of Confederation and perpetual Union . '' What follows here summarizes the purpose and content of each of the thirteen articles . Establishes the name of the confederation with these words : `` The stile of this confederacy shall be ' The United States of America . ' '' Asserts the sovereignty of each state , except for the specific powers delegated to the confederation government : `` Each state retains its sovereignty , freedom , and independence , and every power , jurisdiction , and right , which is not by this Confederation expressly delegated . '' Declares the purpose of the confederation : `` The said States hereby severally enter into a firm league of friendship with each other , for their common defense , the security of their liberties , and their mutual and general welfare , binding themselves to assist each other , against all force offered to , or attacks made upon them , or any of them , on account of religion , sovereignty , trade , or any other pretense whatever . '' Elaborates upon the intent `` to secure and perpetuate mutual friendship and intercourse among the people of the different States in this union , '' and to establish equal treatment and freedom of movement for the free inhabitants of each state to pass unhindered between the states , excluding `` paupers , vagabonds , and fugitives from justice . '' All these people are entitled to equal rights established by the state into which they travel . If a crime is committed in one state and the perpetrator flees to another state , he will be extradited to and tried in the state in which the crime was committed . Allocates one vote in the Congress of the Confederation ( the `` United States in Congress Assembled '' ) to each state , which is entitled to a delegation of between two and seven members . Members of Congress are to be appointed by state legislatures . No congressman may serve more than three out of any six years . Only the central government may declare war , or conduct foreign political or commercial relations . No state or official may accept foreign gifts or titles , and granting any title of nobility is forbidden to all . No states may form any sub-national groups . No state may tax or interfere with treaty stipulations already proposed . No state may wage war without permission of Congress , unless invaded or under imminent attack on the frontier ; no state may maintain a peacetime standing army or navy , unless infested by pirates , but every State is required to keep ready , a well - trained , disciplined , and equipped militia . Whenever an army is raised for common defense , the state legislatures shall assign military ranks of colonel and below . Expenditures by the United States of America will be paid with funds raised by state legislatures , and apportioned to the states in proportion to the real property values of each . Powers and functions of the United States in Congress Assembled . Grants to the United States in Congress assembled the sole and exclusive right and power to determine peace and war ; to exchange ambassadors ; to enter into treaties and alliances , with some provisos ; to establish rules for deciding all cases of captures or prizes on land or water ; to grant letters of marque and reprisal ( documents authorizing privateers ) in times of peace ; to appoint courts for the trial of pirates and crimes committed on the high seas ; to establish courts for appeals in all cases of captures , but no member of Congress may be appointed a judge ; to set weights and measures ( including coins ) , and for Congress to serve as a final court for disputes between states . The court will be composed of jointly appointed commissioners or Congress shall appoint them . Each commissioner is bound by oath to be impartial . The court 's decision is final . Congress shall regulate the post offices ; appoint officers in the military ; and regulate the armed forces . The United States in Congress assembled may appoint a president who shall not serve longer than one year per three - year term of the Congress . Congress may request requisitions ( demands for payments or supplies ) from the states in proportion with their population , or take credit . Congress may not declare war , enter into treaties and alliances , appropriate money , or appoint a commander in chief without nine states assented . Congress shall keep a journal of proceedings and adjourn for periods not to exceed six months . When Congress is in recess , any of the powers of Congress may be executed by `` The committee of the states , or any nine of them '' , except for those powers of Congress which require nine states in Congress to execute . If `` Canada '' ( as the British - held Province of Quebec was also known ) accedes to this confederation , it will be admitted . No other colony could be admitted without the consent of nine states . Reaffirms that the Confederation accepts war debt incurred by Congress before the existence of the Articles . Declares that the Articles shall be perpetual , and may be altered only with the approval of Congress and the ratification of all the state legislatures . While still at war with Britain , the revolution 's leaders were divided between forming a national government with powers either strong and centralized ( the `` federalists '' ) , or strictly limited ( the `` anti federalists '' ) . The Continental Congress compromised by dividing sovereignty between the states and the central government , with a unicameral legislature that protected the liberty of the individual states . It empowered Congress to regulate military and monetary affairs , for example , but provided no mechanism to compel the States to comply with requests for either troops or funding . This left the military vulnerable to inadequate funding , supplies , or even food . Congress under the Articles The army The Articles supported the Congressional direction of the Continental Army , and allowed the states to present a unified front when dealing with the European powers . As a tool to build a centralized war - making government , they were largely a failure : Historian Bruce Chadwick wrote : George Washington had been one of the very first proponents of a strong federal government . The army had nearly disbanded on several occasions during the winters of the war because of the weaknesses of the Continental Congress ... The delegates could not draft soldiers and had to send requests for regular troops and militia to the states . Congress had the right to order the production and purchase of provisions for the soldiers , but could not force anyone to supply them , and the army nearly starved in several winters of war . The Continental Congress , before the Articles were approved , had promised soldiers a pension of half pay for life . However Congress had no power to compel the states to fund this obligation , and as the war wound down after the victory at Yorktown the sense of urgency to support the military was no longer a factor . No progress was made in Congress during the winter of 1783 -- 84 . General Henry Knox , who would later become the first Secretary of War under the Constitution , blamed the weaknesses of the Articles for the inability of the government to fund the army . The army had long been supportive of a strong union . Knox wrote : The army generally have always reprobated the idea of being thirteen armies . Their ardent desires have been to be one continental body looking up to one sovereign ... It is a favorite toast in the army , `` A hoop to the barrel '' or `` Cement to the Union '' . As Congress failed to act on the petitions , Knox wrote to Gouverneur Morris , four years before the Philadelphia Convention was convened , `` As the present Constitution is so defective , why do not you great men call the people together and tell them so ; that is , to have a convention of the States to form a better Constitution . '' Once the war had been won , the Continental Army was largely disbanded . A very small national force was maintained to man the frontier forts and to protect against Native American attacks . Meanwhile , each of the states had an army ( or militia ) , and 11 of them had navies . The wartime promises of bounties and land grants to be paid for service were not being met . In 1783 , George Washington defused the Newburgh conspiracy , but riots by unpaid Pennsylvania veterans forced Congress to leave Philadelphia temporarily . The Congress from time to time during the Revolutionary War requisitioned troops from the states . Any contributions were voluntary , and in the debates of 1788 the Federalists ( who supported the proposed new Constitution ) claimed that state politicians acted unilaterally , and contributed when the Continental army protected their state 's interests . The Anti-Federalists claimed that state politicians understood their duty to the Union and contributed to advance its needs . Dougherty ( 2009 ) concludes that generally the States ' behavior validated the Federalist analysis . This helps explain why the Articles of Confederation needed reforms . Foreign policy The Treaty of Paris ( 1783 ) , which ended hostilities with Great Britain , languished in Congress for months because several state representatives failed to attend sessions of the national legislature to ratify it . Yet Congress had no power to enforce attendance . In September 1783 , George Washington complained that Congress was paralyzed . Many revolutionaries had gone to their respective home countries after the war , and local government and self - rule seemed quite satisfactory . Inherent weaknesses in the confederation 's frame of government also frustrated the ability of the government to conduct foreign policy . In 1789 , Thomas Jefferson , concerned over the failure to fund an American naval force to confront the Barbary pirates , wrote to James Monroe , `` It will be said there is no money in the treasury . There never will be money in the treasury till the Confederacy shows its teeth . The states must see the rod . '' Furthermore , the Jay -- Gardoqui Treaty with Spain in 1789 also showed weakness in foreign policy . In this treaty -- which was never ratified due to its immense unpopularity -- the United States was to give up rights to use the Mississippi River for 25 years , which would have economically strangled the settlers west of the Appalachian Mountains . Finally , due to the Confederation 's military weakness , it could not compel the British army to leave frontier forts which were on American soil -- forts which , in 1783 , the British promised to leave , but which they delayed leaving pending U.S. implementation of other provisions such as ending action against Loyalists and allowing them to seek compensation . This incomplete British implementation of the Treaty of Paris ( 1783 ) was superseded by the implementation of Jay 's Treaty in 1795 under the new U.S. Constitution . Taxation and commerce Under the Articles of Confederation , the central government 's power was kept quite limited . The Confederation Congress could make decisions , but lacked enforcement powers . Implementation of most decisions , including modifications to the Articles , required unanimous approval of all thirteen state legislatures . Congress was denied any powers of taxation : it could only request money from the states . The states often failed to meet these requests in full , leaving both Congress and the Continental Army chronically short of money . As more money was printed by Congress , the continental dollars depreciated . In 1779 , George Washington wrote to John Jay , who was serving as the president of the Continental Congress , `` that a wagon load of money will scarcely purchase a wagon load of provisions . '' Mr. Jay and the Congress responded in May by requesting $45 million from the States . In an appeal to the States to comply , Jay wrote that the taxes were `` the price of liberty , the peace , and the safety of yourselves and posterity . '' He argued that Americans should avoid having it said `` that America had no sooner become independent than she became insolvent '' or that `` her infant glories and growing fame were obscured and tarnished by broken contracts and violated faith . '' The States did not respond with any of the money requested from them . Congress had also been denied the power to regulate either foreign trade or interstate commerce and , as a result , all of the States maintained control over their own trade policies . The states and the Confederation Congress both incurred large debts during the Revolutionary War , and how to repay those debts became a major issue of debate following the War . Some States paid off their war debts and others did not . Federal assumption of the states ' war debts became a major issue in the deliberations of the Constitutional Convention .

( February 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Further information : Admission to the Union § Articles of Confederation Nevertheless , the Confederation Congress did take two actions with long - lasting impact . The Land Ordinance of 1785 and Northwest Ordinance created territorial government , set up protocols for the admission of new states and the division of land into useful units , and set aside land in each township for public use . This system represented a sharp break from imperial colonization , as in Europe , and it established the precedent by which the national ( later , federal ) government would be sovereign and expand westward -- as opposed to the existing states doing so under their sovereignty . The Land Ordinance of 1785 established both the general practices of land surveying in the west and northwest and the land ownership provisions used throughout the later westward expansion beyond the Mississippi River . Frontier lands were surveyed into the now - familiar squares of land called the township ( 36 square miles ) , the section ( one square mile ) , and the quarter section ( 160 acres ) . This system was carried forward to most of the States west of the Mississippi ( excluding areas of Texas and California that had already been surveyed and divided up by the Spanish Empire ) . Then , when the Homestead Act was enacted in 1867 , the quarter section became the basic unit of land that was granted to new settler - farmers . The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 noted the agreement of the original states to give up northwestern land claims , organized the Northwest Territory and laid the groundwork for the eventual creation of new states . While it did n't happen under the articles , the land north of the Ohio River and west of the ( present ) western border of Pennsylvania ceded by Massachusetts , Connecticut , New York , Pennsylvania , and Virginia , eventually became the states of : Ohio , Indiana , Illinois , Michigan , and Wisconsin , and the part of Minnesota east of the Mississippi River . The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 also made great advances in the abolition of slavery . New states admitted to the union in this territory would never be slave states . No new states were admitted to the Union under the Articles of Confederation . The Articles provided for a blanket acceptance of the Province of Quebec ( referred to as `` Canada '' in the Articles ) into the United States if it chose to do so . It did not , and the subsequent Constitution carried no such special provision of admission . Additionally , ordinances to admit Frankland ( later modified to Franklin ) , Kentucky , and Vermont to the Union were considered , but none were approved . Presidents of Congress Further information : President of the Continental Congress Under the Articles of Confederation , the presiding officer of Congress -- referred to in many official records as President of the United States in Congress Assembled -- chaired the Committee of the States when Congress was in recess , and performed other administrative functions . He was not , however , an executive in the way the later President of the United States is a chief executive , since all of the functions he executed were under the direct control of Congress . There were 10 presidents of Congress under the Articles . The first , Samuel Huntington , had been serving as president of the Continental Congress since September 28 , 1779 . President Term Samuel Huntington 01 ! March 1 , 1781 -- July 10 , 1781 Thomas McKean 02 ! July 10 , 1781 -- November 5 , 1781 John Hanson 03 ! November 5 , 1781 -- November 4 , 1782 Elias Boudinot 04 ! November 4 , 1782 -- November 3 , 1783 Thomas Mifflin 05 ! November 3 , 1783 -- June 3 , 1784 Richard Henry Lee 06 ! November 30 , 1784 -- November 4 , 1785 John Hancock 07 ! November 23 , 1785 -- June 5 , 1786 Nathaniel Gorham 08 ! June 6 , 1786 -- November 3 , 1786 Arthur St. Clair 09 ! February 2 , 1787 -- November 4 , 1787 Cyrus Griffin 10 ! January 22 , 1788 -- November 15 , 1788 The United states of America under the Articles The peace treaty left the United States independent and at peace but with an unsettled governmental structure . The Articles envisioned a permanent confederation , but granted to the Congress -- the only federal institution -- little power to finance itself or to ensure that its resolutions were enforced . There was no president , no executive agencies , no judiciary and no tax base . The absence of a tax base meant that there was no way to pay off state and national debts from the war years except by requesting money from the states , which seldom arrived . Although historians generally agree that the Articles were too weak to hold the fast - growing nation together , they do give credit to the settlement of the western issue , as the states voluntarily turned over their lands to national control . By 1783 , with the end of the British blockade , the new nation was regaining its prosperity . However , trade opportunities were restricted by the mercantilism of the British and French empires . The ports of the British West Indies were closed to all staple products which were not carried in British ships . France and Spain established similar policies . Simultaneously , new manufacturers faced sharp competition from British products which were suddenly available again . Political unrest in several states and efforts by debtors to use popular government to erase their debts increased the anxiety of the political and economic elites which had led the Revolution . The apparent inability of the Congress to redeem the public obligations ( debts ) incurred during the war , or to become a forum for productive cooperation among the states to encourage commerce and economic development , only aggravated a gloomy situation . In 1786 -- 87 , Shays ' Rebellion , an uprising of dissidents in western Massachusetts against the state court system , threatened the stability of state government . The Continental Congress printed paper money which was so depreciated that it ceased to pass as currency , spawning the expression `` not worth a continental '' . Congress could not levy taxes and could only make requisitions upon the States . Less than a million and a half dollars came into the treasury between 1781 and 1784 , although the governors had been asked for two million in 1783 alone . When John Adams went to London in 1785 as the first representative of the United States , he found it impossible to secure a treaty for unrestricted commerce . Demands were made for favors and there was no assurance that individual states would agree to a treaty . Adams stated it was necessary for the States to confer the power of passing navigation laws to Congress , or that the States themselves pass retaliatory acts against Great Britain . Congress had already requested and failed to get power over navigation laws . Meanwhile , each State acted individually against Great Britain to little effect . When other New England states closed their ports to British shipping , Connecticut hastened to profit by opening its ports . By 1787 Congress was unable to protect manufacturing and shipping . State legislatures were unable or unwilling to resist attacks upon private contracts and public credit . Land speculators expected no rise in values when the government could not defend its borders nor protect its frontier population . The idea of a convention to revise the Articles of Confederation grew in favor . Alexander Hamilton realized while serving as Washington 's top aide that a strong central government was necessary to avoid foreign intervention and allay the frustrations due to an ineffectual Congress . Hamilton led a group of like - minded nationalists , won Washington 's endorsement , and convened the Annapolis Convention in 1786 to petition Congress to call a constitutional convention to meet in Philadelphia to remedy the long - term crisis . Signatures The Second Continental Congress approved the Articles for distribution to the states on November 15 , 1777 . A copy was made for each state and one was kept by the Congress . On November 28 , the copies sent to the states for ratification were unsigned , and the cover letter , dated November 17 , had only the signatures of Henry Laurens and Charles Thomson , who were the President and Secretary to the Congress . The Articles , however , were unsigned , and the date was blank . Congress began the signing process by examining their copy of the Articles on June 27 , 1778 . They ordered a final copy prepared ( the one in the National Archives ) , and that delegates should inform the secretary of their authority for ratification . On July 9 , 1778 , the prepared copy was ready . They dated it , and began to sign . They also requested each of the remaining states to notify its delegation when ratification was completed . On that date , delegates present from New Hampshire , Massachusetts , Rhode Island , Connecticut , New York , Pennsylvania , Virginia and South Carolina signed the Articles to indicate that their states had ratified . New Jersey , Delaware and Maryland could not , since their states had not ratified . North Carolina and Georgia also were unable to sign that day , since their delegations were absent . After the first signing , some delegates signed at the next meeting they attended . For example , John Wentworth of New Hampshire added his name on August 8 . John Penn was the first of North Carolina 's delegates to arrive ( on July 10 ) , and the delegation signed the Articles on July 21 , 1778 . The other states had to wait until they ratified the Articles and notified their Congressional delegation . Georgia signed on July 24 , New Jersey on November 26 , and Delaware on February 12 , 1779 . Maryland refused to ratify the Articles until every state had ceded its western land claims . The Act of the Maryland legislature to ratify the Articles of Confederation on February 2 , 1781 On February 2 , 1781 , the much - awaited decision was taken by the Maryland General Assembly in Annapolis . As the last piece of business during the afternoon Session , `` among engrossed Bills '' was `` signed and sealed by Governor Thomas Sim Lee in the Senate Chamber , in the presence of the members of both Houses ... an Act to empower the delegates of this state in Congress to subscribe and ratify the articles of confederation '' and perpetual union among the states . The Senate then adjourned `` to the first Monday in August next . '' The decision of Maryland to ratify the Articles was reported to the Continental Congress on February 12 . The confirmation signing of the Articles by the two Maryland delegates took place in Philadelphia at noon time on March 1 , 1781 , and was celebrated in the afternoon . With these events , the Articles were entered into force and the United States of America came into being as a sovereign federal state . Congress had debated the Articles for over a year and a half , and the ratification process had taken nearly three and a half years . Many participants in the original debates were no longer delegates , and some of the signers had only recently arrived . The Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union were signed by a group of men who were never present in the Congress at the same time . Signers The signers and the states they represented were : Connecticut Roger Sherman Samuel Huntington Oliver Wolcott Titus Hosmer Andrew Adams Delaware Thomas McKean John Dickinson Nicholas Van Dyke Georgia John Walton Edward Telfair Edward Langworthy Maryland John Hanson Daniel Carroll Massachusetts Bay John Hancock Samuel Adams Elbridge Gerry Francis Dana James Lovell Samuel Holten New Hampshire Josiah Bartlett John Wentworth Jr .

Virginia Richard Henry Lee John Banister Thomas Adams John Harvie Francis Lightfoot Lee Roger Sherman ( Connecticut ) was the only person to sign all four great state papers of the United States : the Continental Association , the United States Declaration of Independence , the Articles of Confederation and the United States Constitution . Robert Morris ( Pennsylvania ) signed three of the great state papers of the United States : the United States Declaration of Independence , the Articles of Confederation and the United States Constitution . John Dickinson ( Delaware ) , Daniel Carroll ( Maryland ) and Gouverneur Morris ( New York ) , along with Sherman and Robert Morris , were the only five people to sign both the Articles of Confederation and the United States Constitution ( Gouverneur Morris represented Pennsylvania when signing the Constitution ) .

'' Although the states ' representatives to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia were only authorized to amend the Articles , the representatives held secret , closed - door sessions and wrote a new constitution . The new Constitution gave much more power to the central government , but characterization of the result is disputed . The general goal of the authors was to get close to a republic as defined by the philosophers of the Age of Enlightenment , while trying to address the many difficulties of the interstate relationships . Historian Forrest McDonald , using the ideas of James Madison from Federalist 39 , describes the change this way : The constitutional reallocation of powers created a new form of government , unprecedented under the sun . Every previous national authority either had been centralized or else had been a confederation of sovereign states . The new American system was neither one nor the other ; it was a mixture of both . In May 1786 , Charles Pinckney of South Carolina proposed that Congress revise the Articles of Confederation . Recommended changes included granting Congress power over foreign and domestic commerce , and providing means for Congress to collect money from state treasuries . Unanimous approval was necessary to make the alterations , however , and Congress failed to reach a consensus . The weakness of the Articles in establishing an effective unifying government was underscored by the threat of internal conflict both within and between the states , especially after Shays ' Rebellion threatened to topple the state government of Massachusetts . Historian Ralph Ketcham comments on the opinions of Patrick Henry , George Mason , and other Anti-Federalists who were not so eager to give up the local autonomy won by the revolution : Antifederalists feared what Patrick Henry termed the `` consolidated government '' proposed by the new Constitution . They saw in Federalist hopes for commercial growth and international prestige only the lust of ambitious men for a `` splendid empire '' that , in the time - honored way of empires , would oppress the people with taxes , conscription , and military campaigns . Uncertain that any government over so vast a domain as the United States could be controlled by the people , Antifederalists saw in the enlarged powers of the general government only the familiar threats to the rights and liberties of the people . Historians have given many reasons for the perceived need to replace the articles in 1787 . Jillson and Wilson ( 1994 ) point to the financial weakness as well as the norms , rules and institutional structures of the Congress , and the propensity to divide along sectional lines . Rakove ( 1988 ) identifies several factors that explain the collapse of the Confederation . The lack of compulsory direct taxation power was objectionable to those wanting a strong centralized state or expecting to benefit from such power . It could not collect customs after the war because tariffs were vetoed by Rhode Island . Rakove concludes that their failure to implement national measures `` stemmed not from a heady sense of independence but rather from the enormous difficulties that all the states encountered in collecting taxes , mustering men , and gathering supplies from a war - weary populace . '' The second group of factors Rakove identified derived from the substantive nature of the problems the Continental Congress confronted after 1783 , especially the inability to create a strong foreign policy . Finally , the Confederation 's lack of coercive power reduced the likelihood for profit to be made by political means , thus potential rulers were uninspired to seek power . When the war ended in 1783 , certain special interests had incentives to create a new `` merchant state , '' much like the British state people had rebelled against . In particular , holders of war scrip and land speculators wanted a central government to pay off scrip at face value and to legalize western land holdings with disputed claims . Also , manufacturers wanted a high tariff as a barrier to foreign goods , but competition among states made this impossible without a central government . Legitimacy of closing down Political scientist David C. Hendrickson writes that two prominent political leaders in the Confederation , John Jay of New York and Thomas Burke of North Carolina believed that `` the authority of the congress rested on the prior acts of the several states , to which the states gave their voluntary consent , and until those obligations were fulfilled , neither nullification of the authority of congress , exercising its due powers , nor secession from the compact itself was consistent with the terms of their original pledges . '' According to Article XIII of the Confederation , any alteration had to be approved unanimously : ( T ) he Articles of this Confederation shall be inviolably observed by every State , and the Union shall be perpetual ; nor shall any alteration at any time hereafter be made in any of them ; unless such alteration be agreed to in a Congress of the United States , and be afterwards confirmed by the legislatures of every State . On the other hand , Article VII of the proposed Constitution stated that it would become effective after ratification by a mere nine states , without unanimity : The Ratification of the Conventions of nine States , shall be sufficient for the Establishment of this Constitution between the States so ratifying the Same . The apparent tension between these two provisions was addressed at the time , and remains a topic of scholarly discussion . In 1788 , James Madison remarked ( in Federalist No. 40 ) that the issue had become moot : `` As this objection ... has been in a manner waived by those who have criticised the powers of the convention , I dismiss it without further observation . '' Nevertheless , it is an interesting historical and legal question whether opponents of the Constitution could have plausibly attacked the Constitution on that ground . At the time , there were state legislators who argued that the Constitution was not an alteration of the Articles of Confederation , but rather would be a complete replacement so the unanimity rule did not apply . Moreover , the Confederation had proven woefully inadequate and therefore was supposedly no longer binding . Modern scholars such as Francisco Forrest Martin agree that the Articles of Confederation had lost its binding force because many states had violated it , and thus `` other states - parties did not have to comply with the Articles ' unanimous consent rule '' . In contrast , law professor Akhil Amar suggests that there may not have really been any conflict between the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution on this point ; Article VI of the Confederation specifically allowed side deals among states , and the Constitution could be viewed as a side deal until all states ratified it . Final months On July 3 , 1788 , the Congress received New Hampshire 's all - important ninth ratification of the proposed Constitution , thus , according to its terms , establishing it as the new framework of governance for the ratifying states . The following day delegates considered a bill to admit Kentucky into the Union as a sovereign state . The discussion ended with Congress making the determination that , in light of this development , it would be `` unadvisable '' to admit Kentucky into the Union , as it could do so `` under the Articles of Confederation '' only , but not `` under the Constitution '' . By the end of July 1788 , 11 of the 13 states had ratified the new Constitution . Congress continued to convene under the Articles with a quorum until October . On Saturday , September 13 , 1788 , the Confederation Congress voted the resolve to implement the new Constitution , and on Monday , September 15 published an announcement that the new Constitution had been ratified by the necessary nine states , set the first Wednesday in February 1789 for the presidential electors to meet and select a new president , and set the first Wednesday of March 1789 as the day the new government would take over and the government under the Articles of Confederation would come to an end . On that same September 13 , it determined that New York would remain the national capital .

what type of government did the articles of confederation create and why
[ "The Articles formed a war-time confederation of states, with an extremely limited central government. While unratified, the document was used by the Congress to conduct business, direct the American Revolutionary War, conduct diplomacy with foreign nations, and deal with territorial issues and Native American relations. The adoption of the Articles made few perceptible changes in the federal government, because it did little more than legalize what the Continental Congress had been doing. That body was renamed the Congress of the Confederation; but Americans continued to call it the Continental Congress, since its organization remained the same.[2]" ]

The fighting mostly took place in the Sinai and the Golan Heights , territories that had been occupied by Israel since the Six - Day War of 1967 . Egyptian President Anwar Sadat also wanted to reopen the Suez Canal . Neither specifically planned to destroy Israel , although the Israeli leaders could not be sure of that . The war began when the Arab coalition launched a joint surprise attack on Israeli positions in the Israeli - occupied territories on Yom Kippur , the holiest day in Judaism , which also occurred that year during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan . Egyptian and Syrian forces crossed ceasefire lines to enter the Sinai Peninsula and the Golan Heights respectively . Both the United States and the Soviet Union initiated massive resupply efforts to their respective allies during the war , and this led to a near - confrontation between the two nuclear superpowers . The war began with a massive and successful Egyptian crossing of the Suez Canal . Egyptian forces crossed the cease - fire lines , then advanced virtually unopposed into the Sinai Peninsula . After three days , Israel had mobilized most of its forces and halted the Egyptian offensive , resulting in a military stalemate . The Syrians coordinated their attack on the Golan Heights to coincide with the Egyptian offensive and initially made threatening gains into Israeli - held territory . Within three days , however , Israeli forces had pushed the Syrians back to the pre-war ceasefire lines . The Israel Defense Forces ( IDF ) then launched a four - day counter-offensive deep into Syria . Within a week , Israeli artillery began to shell the outskirts of Damascus , and Egyptian President Sadat began to worry about the integrity of his major ally . He believed that capturing two strategic passes located deeper in the Sinai would make his position stronger during post-war negotiations ; he therefore ordered the Egyptians to go back on the offensive , but their attack was quickly repulsed . The Israelis then counter-attacked at the seam between the two Egyptian armies , crossed the Suez Canal into Egypt , and began slowly advancing southward and westward towards the city of Suez in over a week of heavy fighting that resulted in heavy casualties on both sides . On October 22 , a United Nations -- brokered ceasefire unraveled , with each side blaming the other for the breach . By October 24 , the Israelis had improved their positions considerably and completed their encirclement of Egypt 's Third Army and the city of Suez . This development led to tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union , and a second ceasefire was imposed cooperatively on October 25 to end the war . The war had far - reaching implications . The Arab world had experienced humiliation in the lopsided rout of the Egyptian -- Syrian -- Jordanian alliance in the Six - Day War but felt psychologically vindicated by early successes in this conflict . The war led Israel to recognize that , despite impressive operational and tactical achievements on the battlefield , there was no guarantee that they would always dominate the Arab states militarily , as they had consistently through the earlier First Arab -- Israeli War , the Suez War , and the Six - Day War . These changes paved the way for the subsequent peace process . The 1978 Camp David Accords that followed led to the return of the Sinai to Egypt and normalized relations -- the first peaceful recognition of Israel by an Arab country . Egypt continued its drift away from the Soviet Union and eventually left the Soviet sphere of influence entirely .

( October 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The war was part of the Arab -- Israeli conflict , an ongoing dispute that included many battles and wars since 1948 , when the state of Israel was formed . During the Six - Day War of 1967 , Israel had captured Egypt 's Sinai Peninsula , roughly half of Syria 's Golan Heights , and the territories of the West Bank which had been held by Jordan since 1948 . On June 19 , 1967 , shortly after the Six - Day War , the Israeli government voted to return the Sinai to Egypt and the Golan Heights to Syria in return for peace agreements . This decision was not made public or conveyed to the Arab states ; the public position of the Israeli government was that they were willing to return both Sinai and the Golan Heights , with exception of some strategically important points , in exchange for a permanent peace settlement and a demilitarization of the returned territories . They rejected a full return to the boundaries and the situation before the war and also insisted on direct negotiations with the Arab governments as opposed to accepting negotiation through a third party . The Arab position , as it emerged in September 1967 at the Khartoum Arab Summit , was to reject any peaceful settlement with the state of Israel . The eight participating states -- Egypt , Syria , Jordan , Lebanon , Iraq , Algeria , Kuwait , and Sudan -- passed a resolution that would later become known as the `` three no 's '' : there would be no peace , no recognition and no negotiation with Israel . Prior to that , King Hussein of Jordan had stated that he could not rule out a possibility of a `` real , permanent peace '' between Israel and the Arab states . Armed hostilities continued on a limited scale after the Six - Day War and escalated into the War of Attrition , an attempt to wear down the Israeli position through long - term pressure . A ceasefire was signed in August 1970 . President Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt died in September 1970 . He was succeeded by Anwar Sadat . A peace initiative led by both Sadat and UN intermediary Gunnar Jarring was tabled in 1971 . Sadat set forth to the Egyptian Parliament his intention of arranging an interim agreement as a step towards a settlement on 4 February 1971 , which extended the terms of the ceasefire and envisaged a reopening of the Suez Canal in exchange for a partial Israeli pullback . It resembled a proposal independently made by Moshe Dayan . Sadat had signaled in an interview with the New York Times in December 1970 that , in return for a total withdrawal from the Sinai Peninsula , he was ready `` to recognize the rights of Israel as an independent state as defined by the Security Council of the United Nations . '' Gunnar Jarring coincidentally proposed a similar iniative four days later , on 8 February 1971 . Egypt responded by accepting much of Jarring 's proposals , though differing on several issues , regarding the Gaza Strip , for example , and expressed its willingness to reach an accord if it also implemented the provisions of United Nations Security Council Resolution 242 . This was the first time an Arab government had gone public declaring its readiness to sign a peace agreement with Israel . In addition , the Egyptian response included a statement that the lasting peace could not be achieved without `` withdrawal of the Israeli armed forces from all the territories occupied since 5 June 1967 . '' Golda Meir reacted to the overture by forming a committee to examine the proposal and vet possible concessions . When the committee unanimously concluded that Israel 's interests would be served by full withdrawal to the internationally recognized lines dividing Israel from Egypt and Syria , returning the Gaza Strip and , in a majority view , returning most of the West Bank and East Jerusalem , Meir was angered and shelved the document . The United States was infuriated by the cool Israeli response to Egypt 's proposal , and Joseph Sisco informed Yitzhak Rabin that `` Israel would be regarded responsible for rejecting the best opportunity to reach peace since the establishment of the state . '' Israel responded to Jarring 's plan also on 26 of February by outlining its readiness to make some form of withdrawal , while declaring it had no intention of returning to the pre-5 June 1967 lines . Jarring was disappointed and blamed Israel for refusing to accept a complete pullout from the Sinai peninsula . Sadat hoped that by inflicting even a limited defeat on the Israelis , the status quo could be altered . Hafez al - Assad , the leader of Syria , had a different view . He had little interest in negotiation and felt the retaking of the Golan Heights would be a purely military option . After the Six - Day War , Assad had launched a massive military buildup and hoped to make Syria the dominant military power of the Arab states . With the aid of Egypt , Assad felt that his new army could win convincingly against Israel and thus secure Syria 's role in the region . Assad only saw negotiations beginning once the Golan Heights had been retaken by force , which would induce Israel to give up the West Bank and Gaza , and make other concessions . Sadat also had important domestic concerns in wanting war . `` The three years since Sadat had taken office ... were the most demoralized in Egyptian history ... A desiccated economy added to the nation 's despondency . War was a desperate option . '' In his biography of Sadat , Raphael Israeli argued that Sadat felt the root of the problem was the great shame over the Six - Day War , and before any reforms could be introduced , he believed that that shame had to be overcome . Egypt 's economy was in shambles , but Sadat knew that the deep reforms that he felt were needed would be deeply unpopular among parts of the population . A military victory would give him the popularity he needed to make changes . A portion of the Egyptian population , most prominently university students who launched wide protests , strongly desired a war to reclaim the Sinai and was highly upset that Sadat had not launched one in his first three years in office . The other Arab states showed much more reluctance to fully commit to a new war . Jordanian King Hussein feared another major loss of territory , as had occurred in the Six - Day War , in which Jordan lost all of the West Bank , territory it had conquered and annexed in 1948 -- 49 , which had doubled its population . Sadat also backed the claim of the Palestine Liberation Organization ( PLO ) to the West Bank and Gaza and , in the event of a victory , promised Yasser Arafat that he would be given control of them . Hussein still saw the West Bank as part of Jordan and wanted it restored to his kingdom . Moreover , during the Black September crisis of 1970 , a near civil war had broken out between the PLO and the Jordanian government . In that war , Syria had intervened militarily on the side of the PLO , estranging Hussein . Iraq and Syria also had strained relations , and the Iraqis refused to join the initial offensive . Lebanon , which shared a border with Israel , was not expected to join the Arab war effort because of its small army and already evident instability . The months before the war saw Sadat engage in a diplomatic offensive to try to win support for the war . By the fall of 1973 , he claimed the backing of more than a hundred states . These were most of the countries of the Arab League , Non-Aligned Movement , and Organization of African Unity . Sadat had also worked to curry favour in Europe and had some success before the war . Britain and France for the first time sided with the Arab powers against Israel on the United Nations Security Council . Events leading up to the war Four months before the war broke out , Henry Kissinger made an offer to Ismail , Sadat 's emissary . Kissinger proposed returning the Sinai Peninsula to Egyptian control and an Israeli withdrawal from all of Sinai , except for some strategic points . Ismail said he would return with Sadat 's reply , but never did . Sadat was already determined to go to war . Only an American guarantee that the United States would fulfill the entire Arab program in a brief time could have dissuaded Sadat . Sadat declared that Egypt was prepared to `` sacrifice a million Egyptian soldiers '' to recover its lost territory . From the end of 1972 , Egypt began a concentrated effort to build up its forces , receiving MiG - 21 jet fighters , SA - 2 , SA - 3 , SA - 6 and SA - 7 antiaircraft missiles , T - 55 and T - 62 tanks , RPG - 7 antitank weapons , and the AT - 3 Sagger anti-tank guided missile from the Soviet Union and improving its military tactics , based on Soviet battlefield doctrines . Political generals , who had in large part been responsible for the rout in 1967 , were replaced with competent ones . The role of the superpowers , too , was a major factor in the outcome of the two wars . The policy of the Soviet Union was one of the causes of Egypt 's military weakness . President Nasser was only able to obtain the materiel for an anti-aircraft missile defense wall after visiting Moscow and pleading with Kremlin leaders . He said that if supplies were not given , he would have to return to Egypt and tell the Egyptian people Moscow had abandoned them , and then relinquish power to one of his peers who would be able to deal with the Americans . The Americans would then have the upper hand in the region , which Moscow could not permit . Egyptian President Anwar Sadat Nasser 's policy following the 1967 defeat conflicted with that of the Soviet Union . The Soviets sought to avoid a new conflagration between the Arabs and Israelis so as not to be drawn into a confrontation with the United States . The reality of the situation became apparent when the superpowers met in Oslo and agreed to maintain the status quo . This was unacceptable to Egyptian leaders , and when it was discovered that the Egyptian preparations for crossing the canal were being leaked , it became imperative to expel the Soviets from Egypt . In July 1972 , Sadat expelled almost all of the 20,000 Soviet military advisers in the country and reoriented the country 's foreign policy to be more favourable to the United States . The Syrians remained close to the Soviet Union . The Soviets thought little of Sadat 's chances in any war . They warned that any attempt to cross the heavily fortified Suez Canal would incur massive losses . Both the Soviets and Americans were then pursuing détente and had no interest in seeing the Middle East destabilized . In a June 1973 meeting with American President Richard Nixon , Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev had proposed Israel pull back to its 1967 border . Brezhnev said that if Israel did not , `` we will have difficulty keeping the military situation from flaring up '' -- an indication that the Soviet Union had been unable to restrain Sadat 's plans . In an interview published in Newsweek ( April 9 , 1973 ) , Sadat again threatened war with Israel . Several times during 1973 , Arab forces conducted large - scale exercises that put the Israeli military on the highest level of alert , only to be recalled a few days later . The Israeli leadership already believed that if an attack took place , the Israeli Air Force ( IAF ) could repel it . Almost a full year before the war , in an October 24 , 1972 , meeting with his Supreme Council of the Armed Forces , Sadat declared his intention to go to war with Israel even without proper Soviet support . Planning had begun in 1971 and was conducted in absolute secrecy -- even the upper - echelon commanders were not told of the war plans until less than a week prior to the attack , and the soldiers were not told until a few hours beforehand . The plan to attack Israel in concert with Syria was code - named Operation Badr ( Arabic for `` full moon '' ) , after the Battle of Badr , in which Muslims under Muhammad defeated the Quraish tribe of Mecca . Lead - up to the surprise attack The Israel Defense Forces ( IDF ) Directorate of Military Intelligence 's ( abbreviated as `` Aman '' ) Research Department was responsible for formulating Israel 's intelligence estimate . Their assessments on the likelihood of war were based on several assumptions . First , it was assumed correctly that Syria would not go to war with Israel unless Egypt did so as well . Second , the department learned from Ashraf Marwan , former President Nasser 's son - in - law and also a senior Mossad agent , that Egypt wanted to regain all of the Sinai , but would not go to war until they were supplied MiG - 23 fighter - bombers to neutralize the Israeli Air Force and Scud missiles to be used against Israeli cities as a deterrent against Israeli attacks on Egyptian infrastructure . Since they had not received MiG - 23s and Scud missiles had only arrived in Egypt from Bulgaria in late August and it would take four months to train the Egyptian ground crews , Aman predicted war with Egypt was not imminent . This assumption about Egypt 's strategic plans , known as `` the concept '' , strongly prejudiced the department 's thinking and led it to dismiss other war warnings . By mid-1973 , Aman was almost completely aware of the Arab war plans . It knew that the Egyptian Second and Third Armies would attempt to cross the Suez Canal and advance ten kilometres into the Sinai , followed by armored divisions that would advance towards the Mitla and Gidi Passes , and that naval units and paratroopers would then attempt to capture Sharm el - Sheikh . Aman was also aware of many details of the Syrian war plan . However , Israeli analysts , following `` the concept '' , did not believe the Arabs were serious about going to war . The Egyptians did much to further this misconception . Both the Israelis and the Americans felt that the expulsion of the Soviet military observers had severely reduced the effectiveness of the Egyptian army . The Egyptians ensured that there was a continual stream of false information regarding maintenance problems and a lack of personnel to operate the most advanced equipment . The Egyptians made repeated misleading reports about lack of spare parts that made their way to the Israelis . Sadat had so long engaged in brinkmanship that his frequent war threats were being ignored by the world . In April and May 1973 , Israeli intelligence began picking up clear signals of Egypt 's intentions for war , recognizing that it had the necessary divisions and bridging equipment to cross the Suez Canal and a missile umbrella to protect any crossing operation from air attack . However , Aman Chief Eli Zeira was still confident that the probability of war was low . In May and August 1973 , the Egyptian Army conducted military exercises near the border , and Ashraf Marwan inaccurately warned that Egypt and Syria would launch a surprise attack on May 15 . The Israeli Army mobilized in response to both exercises at considerable cost . These exercises were to ensure that the Israelis would dismiss the actual war preparations right before the attack was launched as another exercise . Egyptian and Syrian military exercises For the week leading up to Yom Kippur , the Egyptian army staged a week - long training exercise adjacent to the Suez Canal . Israeli intelligence , detecting large troop movements towards the canal , dismissed them as mere training exercises . Movements of Syrian troops towards the border were also detected , as were the cancellation of leaves and a call - up of reserves in the Syrian army . These activities were considered puzzling , but not a threat because , Aman believed , they would not attack without Egypt and Egypt would not attack until the weaponry they wanted arrived . Despite this belief , Israel sent reinforcements to the Golan Heights . These forces were to prove critical during the early days of the war . On September 27 and 30 , two batches of reservists were called up by the Egyptian army to participate in these exercises . Two days before the outbreak of the war , on October 4 , the Egyptian command publicly announced the demobilization of part of the reservists called up during September 27 to lull Israeli suspicions . Around 20,000 troops were demobilized , and subsequently some of these men were given leave to perform the Umrah ( pilgrimage ) to Mecca . Reports were also given instructing cadets in military colleges to resume their courses on October 9 . On October 1 , an Aman researcher , Lieutenant Binyamin Siman - Tov , submitted an assessment arguing that the Egyptian deployments and exercises along the Suez Canal seemed to be a camouflage for an actual crossing of the canal . Siman - Tov sent a more comprehensive assessment on October 3 . Both were ignored by his superior . According to Egyptian General El - Gamasy , `` On the initiative of the operations staff , we reviewed the situation on the ground and developed a framework for the planned offensive operation . We studied the technical characteristics of the Suez Canal , the ebb and the flow of the tides , the speed of the currents and their direction , hours of darkness and of moonlight , weather conditions , and related conditions in the Mediterranean and Red sea . '' He explained further by saying : `` Saturday 6 October 1973 ( 10 Ramadan 1393 ) was the day chosen for the September -- October option . Conditions for a crossing were good , it was a fast day in Israel , and the moon on that day , 10 Ramadan , shone from sunset until midnight . '' The war coincided that year with the Muslim month of Ramadan , when many Arab Muslim soldiers fast . On the other hand , the fact that the attack was launched on Yom Kippur may have helped Israel to more easily marshal reserves from their homes and synagogues because roads and communication lines were largely open , easing the mobilization and transportation of the military . Despite refusing to participate , King Hussein of Jordan `` had met with Sadat and Assad in Alexandria two weeks before . Given the mutual suspicions prevailing among the Arab leaders , it was unlikely that he had been told any specific war plans . But it was probable that Sadat and Assad had raised the prospect of war against Israel in more general terms to feel out the likelihood of Jordan joining in . '' On the night of September 25 , Hussein secretly flew to Tel Aviv to warn Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir of an impending Syrian attack . `` Are they going to war without the Egyptians , asked Mrs. Meir . The king said he did n't think so . ' I think they ( Egypt ) would cooperate . ' '' This warning was ignored , and Aman concluded that the king had not told anything that was not already known . Throughout September , Israel received eleven warnings of war from well - placed sources . However , Mossad Director - General Zvi Zamir continued to insist that war was not an Arab option , even after Hussein 's warning . Zamir would later remark that `` We simply did n't feel them capable ( of war ) . '' On the day before the war , General Ariel Sharon was shown aerial photographs and other intelligence by Yehoshua Saguy , his divisional intelligence officer . General Sharon noticed that the concentration of Egyptian forces along the canal was far beyond anything observed during the training exercises , and that the Egyptians had amassed all of their crossing equipment along the canal . He then called General Shmuel Gonen , who had replaced him as head of Southern Command , and expressed his certainty that war was imminent . On October 4 -- 5 , Zamir 's concern grew , as additional signs of an impending attack were detected . Soviet advisers and their families left Egypt and Syria , transport aircraft thought to be laden with military equipment landed in Cairo and Damascus , and aerial photographs revealed that Egyptian and Syrian concentrations of tanks , infantry , and surface - to - air ( SAM ) missiles were at an unprecedented high . According to declassified documents from the Agranat Commission , Brigadier General Yisrael Lior , Prime Minister Golda Meir 's military secretary / attaché , claimed that Mossad knew from Ashraf Marwan that an attack was going to occur under the guise of a military drill a week before it occurred , but the process of passing along the information to the Prime Minister 's office failed . The information ended up with Mossad head Zvi Zamir 's aide , who passed it along to Zamir at 12 : 30 am on 5 October . According to the claim , an unfocused and groggy Zamir thanked the aide for the information and said he would pass it along to the Prime Minister 's office in the morning . On the night of October 5 / 6 , Zamir personally went to Europe to meet with Marwan at midnight . Marwan informed him that a joint Syrian - Egyptian attack was imminent . However , Marwan incorrectly told Zamir that the attack would take place at sunset . It was this warning in particular , combined with the large number of other warnings , that finally goaded the Israeli High Command into action . Just hours before the attack began , orders went out for a partial call - up of the Israeli reserves . The attack by the Egyptian and Syrian forces caught the United States by surprise . According to future CIA Director and Defense Secretary Robert Gates , he was briefing an American arms negotiator on the improbability of armed conflict in the region when he heard the news of the outbreak of war on the radio . On the other hand , the KGB learned about the attack in advance , probably from its intelligence sources in Egypt . Lack of Israeli pre-emptive attack Upon learning of the impending attack , Prime Minister of Israel Golda Meir made the controversial decision not to launch a pre-emptive strike . The Israeli strategy was , for the most part , based on the precept that if war was imminent , Israel would launch a pre-emptive strike . It was assumed that Israel 's intelligence services would give , in the worst case , about 48 hours notice prior to an Arab attack . Prime Minister Golda Meir , Minister of Defense Moshe Dayan , and Chief of General Staff David Elazar met at 8 : 05 am the morning of Yom Kippur , six hours before the war began . Dayan opened the meeting by arguing that war was not a certainty . Elazar then presented his argument in favor of a pre-emptive attack against Syrian airfields at noon , Syrian missiles at 3 : 00 pm , and Syrian ground forces at 5 : 00 pm `` When the presentations were done , the prime minister hemmed uncertainly for a few moments but then came to a clear decision . There would be no preemptive strike . Israel might be needing American assistance soon and it was imperative that it would not be blamed for starting the war . ' If we strike first , we wo n't get help from anybody ' , she said . '' Prior to the war , Kissinger and Nixon consistently warned Meir that she must not be responsible for initiating a Middle east war . On October 6 , 1973 , the war opening date , Kissinger told Israel not to go for a preemptive strike , and Meir confirmed to him that Israel would not . Other developed nations , being more dependent on OPEC oil , took more seriously the threat of an Arab oil embargo and trade boycott , and had stopped supplying Israel with munitions . As a result , Israel was totally dependent on the United States for military resupply , and particularly sensitive to anything that might endanger that relationship . After Meir had made her decision , at 10 : 15 am , she met with American ambassador Kenneth Keating in order to inform the United States that Israel did not intend to preemptively start a war , and asked that American efforts be directed at preventing war . An electronic telegram with Keating 's report on the meeting was sent to the United States at 16 : 33 GMT ( 6 : 33 pm local time ) . A message arrived later from United States Secretary of State Henry Kissinger saying , `` Do n't preempt . '' At the same time , Kissinger also urged the Soviets to use their influence to prevent war , contacted Egypt with Israel 's message of non-preemption , and sent messages to other Arab governments to enlist their help on the side of moderation . These late efforts were futile . According to Henry Kissinger , had Israel struck first , it would not have received `` so much as a nail '' . David Elazar proposed a mobilization of the entire air force and four armored divisions , a total of 100,000 to 120,000 troops , while Dayan favored a mobilization of the air force and two armored divisions , totaling around 70,000 troops . Meir chose Elazar 's proposal . Combat operations In the Sinai Wreckage from an Egyptian Sukhoi Su - 7 shot down over the Sinai on October 6 on display at the Israeli Air Force Museum . The Sinai was once again the arena of conflict between Israel and Egypt . The Egyptians had prepared for an assault across the canal and deployed five divisions totaling 100,000 soldiers , 1,350 tanks and 2,000 guns and heavy mortars for the onslaught . Facing them were 450 soldiers of the Jerusalem Brigade , spread out in 16 forts along the length of the Canal . There were 290 Israeli tanks in all of Sinai divided into three armored brigades , and only one of these was deployed near the Canal when hostilities commenced . Large bridgeheads were established on the east bank on October 6 . Israeli armoured forces launched counterattacks from October 6 to 8 , but they were often piecemeal and inadequately supported and were beaten back principally by Egyptians using portable anti-tank missiles . Between October 9 and October 12 the American response was a call for cease - fire in place . Arms for Israel began to flow in modest quantities . The Egyptian units generally would not advance beyond a shallow strip for fear of losing the protection of their surface - to - air missile ( SAM ) batteries , which were situated on the west bank of the canal . In the Six - Day War , the Israeli Air Force had pummeled the defenseless Arab armies . Egypt ( and Syria ) had heavily fortified their side of the ceasefire lines with SAM batteries provided by the Soviet Union , against which the Israeli Air Force had no time to execute a Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses ( SEAD ) operation due to the element of surprise . Israel , which had invested much of its defense budget building the region 's strongest air force , would see the effectiveness of its air force curtailed in the initial phases of the conflict by the SAM presence . On October 9 , the IDF chose to concentrate its reserves and build up its supplies while the Egyptians remained on the strategic defensive . Nixon and Kissinger held back on a full - scale resupply of arms to Israel . Short of supplies , the Israeli government reluctantly accepted a cease - fire in place on October 12 but Sadat refused . The Soviets started an airlift of arms to Syria and Egypt . The American global interest was to prove that Soviet arms could not dictate the outcome of the fighting , by supplying Israel . With an airlift in full swing , Washington was prepared to wait until Israeli success on the battlefield might persuade the Arabs and the Soviets to bring the fighting to an end . It was decided to counterattack once Egyptian armor attempted to expand the bridgehead beyond the protective SAM umbrella . The riposte , codenamed Operation Gazelle , was launched on October 15 . IDF forces spearheaded by Ariel Sharon 's division broke through the Tasa corridor and crossed the Suez Canal to the north of the Great Bitter Lake . After intense fighting , the IDF progressed towards Cairo and advanced southwards on the east bank of the Great Bitter Lake and in the southern extent of the canal right up to Port Suez . It was important for the Americans that the fighting should be ended , when all parties could still emerge from the conflict with their vital interests and self - esteem intact . Hence they indicated an acceptance of Israeli advance while violating the ceasefire , but the U.S. did not permit the destruction of the Egyptian 3rd army corps . Israeli progress towards Cairo was brought to a halt when the ceasefire was declared on October 24 . Egyptian attack The 1973 War in the Sinai , October 6 -- 15 . Main article : Operation Badr ( 1973 ) Anticipating a swift Israeli armored counterattack by three armored divisions , the Egyptians had armed their assault force with large numbers of man - portable anti-tank weapons -- rocket - propelled grenades and the less numerous but more advanced Sagger guided missiles , which proved devastating to the first Israeli armored counterattacks . Each of the five infantry divisions that was to cross the canal had been equipped with RPG - 7 rockets and RPG - 43 grenades , and reinforced with an anti-tank guided missile battalion , as they would not have any armor support for nearly 12 hours . In addition , the Egyptians had built separate ramps at the crossing points , reaching as high as 21 metres ( 69 ft ) to counter the Israeli sand wall , provide covering fire for the assaulting infantry and to counter the first Israeli armored counterattacks . The scale and effectiveness of the Egyptian strategy of deploying these anti-tank weapons coupled with the Israelis ' inability to disrupt their use with close air support ( due to the SAM shield ) greatly contributed to Israeli setbacks early in the war . Wreckage of an Israeli A-4 Skyhawk on display in Egypt 's war museum . Egyptian Sukhoi Su - 7 fighter jets conducting air strikes over the Bar Lev Line on 6 October An Israeli Mirage III shot down by an Egyptian MiG - 21 The Egyptian Army put great effort into finding a quick and effective way of breaching the Israeli defenses . The Israelis had built large 18 metre ( 59 foot ) high sand walls with a 60 degree slope and reinforced with concrete at the water line . Egyptian engineers initially experimented with explosive charges and bulldozers to clear the obstacles , before a junior officer proposed using high pressure water cannons . The idea was tested and found to be a sound one , and several high pressure water cannons were imported from Britain and East Germany . The water cannons effectively breached the sand walls using water from the canal . At 2 : 00 pm on October 6 , Operation Badr began with a large airstrike . More than 200 Egyptian aircraft conducted simultaneous strikes against three airbases , Hawk missile batteries , three command centers , artillery positions , and several radar installations . Airfields at Refidim and Bir Tamada were temporarily put out of service , and damage was inflicted on a Hawk battery at Ophir . The aerial assault was coupled with a barrage from more than 2,000 artillery pieces for a period of 53 minutes against the Bar Lev Line and rear area command posts and concentration bases . Author Andrew McGregor claimed that the success of the first strike negated the need for a second planned strike . Egypt acknowledged the loss of 5 aircraft during the attack . Kenneth Pollack wrote that 18 Egyptian aircraft were shot down , and that these losses prompted the cancellation of the second planned wave . In one notable engagement during this period , a pair of Israeli F - 4E Phantoms challenged 28 Egyptian MiGs over Sharm el - Sheikh and within half an hour , shot down seven or eight MiGs with no losses . One of the Egyptian pilots killed was Captain Atif Sadat , President Sadat 's half - brother . Simultaneously , 14 Egyptian Tupolev Tu - 16 bombers attacked Israeli targets in the Sinai with Kelt missiles , while another two Egyptian Tupolevs fired two Kelt missiles at a radar station in central Israel . One missile was shot down by a patrolling Israeli Mirage fighter , and the second fell into the sea . The attack was an attempt to warn Israel that Egypt could retaliate if it bombed targets deep in Egyptian territory . An Egyptian MiG - 17 shot down during the dogfight over Sharm el - Sheikh . Under cover of the initial artillery barrage , the Egyptian assault force of 32,000 infantry began crossing the canal in twelve waves at five separate crossing areas , from 14 : 05 to 17 : 30 , in what became known as The Crossing . The Egyptians prevented Israeli forces from reinforcing the Bar Lev Line and proceeded to attack the Israeli fortifications . Meanwhile , engineers crossed over to breach the sand wall . The Israeli Air Force conducted air interdiction operations to try to prevent the bridges from being erected , but took losses from Egyptian SAM batteries . The air attacks were ineffective overall , as the sectional design of the bridges enabled quick repairs when hit . Despite fierce resistance , the Israeli reserve brigade garrisoning the Bar - Lev forts was overwhelmed . According to Shazly , within six hours , fifteen strongpoints had been captured as Egyptian forces advanced several kilometres into the Sinai . Shazly 's account was disputed by Kenneth Pollack , who noted that for the most part , the forts only fell to repeated assaults by superior forces or prolonged sieges over many days . The northernmost fortification of the Bar Lev Line , code - named ' Fort Budapest ' , withstood repeated assaults and remained in Israeli hands throughout the war . Once the bridges were laid , additional infantry with the remaining portable and recoilless anti-tank weapons began to cross the canal , while the first Egyptian tanks started to cross at 20 : 30 . The Egyptians also attempted to land several heli - borne commando units in various areas in the Sinai to hamper the arrival of Israeli reserves . This attempt met with disaster as the Israelis shot down up to twenty helicopters , inflicting heavy casualties . Israeli Major General ( res . ) Chaim Herzog placed Egyptian helicopter losses at fourteen . Other sources claim that `` several '' helicopters were downed with `` total loss of life '' and that the few commandos that did filter through were ineffectual and presented nothing more than a `` nuisance '' . Kenneth Pollack asserted that despite their heavy losses , the Egyptian commandos fought exceptionally hard and created considerable panic , prompting the Israelis to take precautions that hindered their ability to concentrate on stopping the assault across the canal . Egyptian forces advanced approximately 4 to 5 km into the Sinai Desert with two armies ( both corps - sized by western standards , included the 2nd Infantry Division in the northern Second Army ) . By the following morning , some 850 tanks had crossed the canal . In his account of the war , Saad El Shazly noted that by the morning of October 7 , the Egyptians had lost 280 soldiers and 20 tanks , though this account is disputed . Most Israeli soldiers defending the Bar Lev Line were casualties , and some 200 were taken prisoner . In the subsequent days , some defenders of the Bar Lev Line managed to break through Egyptian encirclement and return to their lines , or were extracted during Israeli counterattacks that came later on . For the next several days , the Israeli Air Force ( IAF ) played a minimal role in the fighting largely because it was needed to deal with the simultaneous , and ultimately more threatening , Syrian invasion of the Golan Heights . Egyptian forces then consolidated their initial positions . On October 7 , the bridgeheads were enlarged an additional 4 km , at the same time repulsing Israeli counterattacks . In the north , the Egyptian 18th Division attacked the town of El - Qantarah el - Sharqiyya , engaging Israeli forces in and around the town . The fighting there was conducted at close quarters , and was sometimes hand - to - hand . The Egyptians were forced to clear the town building by building . By evening , most of the town was in Egyptian hands . El - Qantarah was completely cleared by the next morning . Meanwhile , the Egyptian commandos airdropped on October 6 began encountering Israeli reserves the following morning . Both sides suffered heavy losses , but the commandos were at times successful in delaying the movement of Israeli reserves to the front . These special operations often led to confusion and anxiety among Israeli commanders , who commended the Egyptian commandos . This view was contradicted by another source that stated that few commandos made it to their objectives , and were usually nothing more than a nuisance . According to Abraham Rabinovich , only the commandos near Baluza and those blocking the road to Fort Budapest had measurable successes . Of the 1,700 Egyptian commandos inserted behind Israeli lines during the war , 740 were killed -- many in downed helicopters -- and 330 taken prisoner . Failed Israeli counterattack An Israeli M60 Patton tank destroyed in the Sinai . On October 7 , David Elazar visited Shmuel Gonen , commander of the Israeli Southern front -- who had only taken the position three months before at the retirement of Ariel Sharon -- and met with Israeli commanders . The Israelis planned a cautious counterattack for the following day by Abraham Adan 's 162nd Armored Division . The same day , the Israeli Air Force carried out Operation Tagar , aiming to neutralize Egyptian Air Force bases and its missile defense shield . Seven Egyptian airbases were damaged with the loss of two A-4 Skyhawks and their pilots . Two more planned attacks were called off because of the increasing need for air power on the Syrian front . The IAF carried out additional air attacks against Egyptian forces on the east bank of the canal , reportedly inflicting heavy losses . Israeli jets had carried out hundreds of sorties against Egyptian targets by the following day , but the Egyptian SAM shield inflicted heavy losses . IAF aircraft losses mounted to three aircraft for every 200 sorties , an unsustainable rate . The Israelis responded by rapidly devising new tactics to thwart Egyptian air defenses . On October 8 , after Elazar had left , Gonen changed the plans on the basis of unduly optimistic field reports . Adan 's division was composed of three brigades totaling 183 tanks . One of the brigades was still en route to the area , and would participate in the attack by noon , along with a supporting mechanized infantry brigade with an additional 44 tanks . The Israeli counterattack was in the direction of the Bar Lev strongpoints opposite the city of Ismailia , against entrenched Egyptian infantry . In a series of ill - coordinated attacks , which were met by stiff resistance , the Israelis suffered heavy losses . That afternoon , Egyptian forces advanced once more to deepen their bridgeheads , and as a result the Israelis lost several strategic positions . Further Israeli attacks to regain the lost ground proved futile . Towards nightfall , an Egyptian counterattack was repulsed with the loss of 50 Egyptian tanks by the Israeli 143rd Armored Division , which was led by General Ariel Sharon , who had been reinstated as a division commander at the outset of the war . Garwych , citing Egyptian sources , documented Egyptian tank losses up to October 13 at 240 . An Israeli Centurion tank operating in the Sinai . Temporary stabilization According to Herzog , by October 9 the front lines had stabilized . The Egyptians were unable to advance further , and Egyptian armored attacks on October 9 and 10 were repulsed with heavy losses . However , this claim was disputed by Shazly , who claimed that the Egyptians continued to advance and improve their positions well into October 10 . He pointed to one engagement , which involved elements of the 1st Infantry Brigade , attached to the 19th Division , which captured Ayoun Mousa , south of Suez . The Egyptian 1st Mechanized Brigade launched a failed attack southward along the Gulf of Suez in the direction of Ras Sudar . Leaving the safety of the SAM umbrella , the force was attacked by Israeli aircraft and suffered heavy losses . Shazly cited this experience as a basis to resist pressure by Minister of War , General Ahmad Ismail Ali to attack eastward toward the Mitla and Gidi Passes . Between October 10 and 13 , both sides refrained from any large - scale actions , and the situation was relatively stable . Both sides launched small - scale attacks , and the Egyptians used helicopters to land commandos behind Israeli lines . Some Egyptian helicopters were shot down , and those commando forces that managed to land were quickly destroyed by Israeli special forces . In one key engagement on October 13 , a particularly large Egyptian incursion was stopped and close to a hundred Egyptian commandos were killed . The Egyptian failed attack General Shazly strongly opposed any eastward advance that would leave his armor without adequate air cover . He was overruled by General Ismail and Sadat , whose aims were to seize the strategic Mitla and Gidi Passes and the Israeli nerve centre at Refidim , which they hoped would relieve pressure on the Syrians ( who were by now on the defensive ) by forcing Israel to shift divisions from the Golan to the Sinai . The 1973 War in the Sinai , October 15 -- 24 . The 2nd and 3rd Armies were ordered to attack eastward in six simultaneous thrusts over a broad front , leaving behind five infantry divisions to hold the bridgeheads . The attacking forces , consisting of 800 -- 1,000 tanks would not have SAM cover , so the Egyptian Air Force ( EAF ) was tasked with the defense of these forces from Israeli air attacks . Armored and mechanized units began the attack on October 14 with artillery support . They were up against 700 -- 750 Israeli tanks . Preparatory to the tank attack , Egyptian helicopters set down 100 commandos near the Lateral Road to disrupt the Israeli rear . An Israeli reconnaissance unit quickly subdued them , killing 60 and taking numerous prisoners . Still bruised by the extensive losses their commandos had suffered on the opening day of the war , the Egyptians were unable or unwilling to implement further commando operations that had been planned in conjunction with the armored attack . The Egyptian armored thrust suffered heavy losses . Instead of concentrating forces of maneuvering , except for the wadi thrust , Egyptian units launched head - on - attacks against the waiting Israeli defenses . The Egyptian attack was decisively repelled . At least 250 Egyptian tanks and some 200 armored vehicles were destroyed . Egyptian casualties exceeded 1,000 . Fewer than 40 Israeli tanks were hit and all but six of them were repaired by Israeli maintenance crews and returned to service , while Israeli casualties numbered 665 . Kenneth Pollack credited a successful Israeli commando raid early on October 14 against an Egyptian signals - intercept site at Jebel Ataqah with seriously disrupting Egyptian command and control and contributing to its breakdown during the engagement . Israel planned attack considerations With the situation on the Syrian front stabilizing , the Israeli High Command agreed that the time was ripe for an Israeli counterattack and strike across the canal . General Sharon advocated an immediate crossing at Deversoir at the northern edge of Great Bitter Lake . On October 9 , a reconnaissance force attached to Colonel Amnon Reshef 's Brigade detected a gap between the Egyptian Second and Third armies in this sector . According to General Gamasy , the gap had been detected by an American SR - 71 spy plane . Chief of Staff Elazar and General Chaim Bar - Lev , who had by now replaced Gonen as Chief of Southern Command , agreed that this was the ideal spot for a crossing . However , given the size of the Egyptian armored reserves , the Israelis chose to wait for an opportunity that would allow them to reduce Egyptian armored strength before initiating any crossing . The opportunity arrived on October 12 , when Israeli intelligence detected signs that the Egyptians were gearing up for a major armored thrust . This was precisely the moment the Israelis were waiting for . They could finally utilize their advantages in speed , maneuver and tank gunnery , areas in which they excelled . Once Egyptian armored strength was sufficiently degraded , the Israelis would commence their own canal crossing . Israeli breakthrough -- crossing the canal Israeli tanks crossing the Suez Canal . The Israelis immediately followed the Egyptian failed attack of October 14 with a multidivisional counterattack through the gap between the Egyptian 2nd and 3rd Armies . Sharon 's 143rd Division , now reinforced with a paratroop brigade commanded by Colonel Danny Matt , was tasked with establishing bridgeheads on the east and west banks of the canal . The 162nd and 252nd Armored Divisions , commanded by Generals Avraham Adan and Kalman Magen respectively , would then cross through the breach to the west bank of the canal and swing southward , encircling the 3rd Army . The offensive was code - named Operation Stouthearted Men or alternatively , Operation Valiant . On the night of October 15 , 750 of Colonel Matt 's paratroopers crossed the canal in rubber dinghies . They were soon joined by tanks ferried on motorized rafts and additional infantry . The force encountered no resistance initially and fanned out in raiding parties , attacking supply convoys , SAM sites , logistic centers and anything of military value , with priority given to the SAMs . Attacks on SAM sites punched a hole in the Egyptian anti-aircraft screen and enabled the Israeli Air Force to strike Egyptian ground targets more aggressively . On the night of October 15 , 20 Israeli tanks and 7 APCs under the command of Colonel Haim Erez crossed the canal and penetrated 12 kilometres into mainland Egypt , taking the Egyptians by surprise . For the first 24 hours , Erez 's force attacked SAM sites and military columns with impunity . On the morning of October 17 , it was attacked by the 23rd Egyptian Armored Brigade , but managed to repulse the attack . By this time , the Syrians no longer posed a credible threat and the Israelis were able to shift their air power to the south in support of the offensive . The combination of a weakened Egyptian SAM umbrella and a greater concentration of Israeli fighter - bombers meant that the IAF was capable of greatly increasing sorties against Egyptian military targets , including convoys , armor and airfields . The Egyptian bridges across the canal were damaged in Israeli air and artillery attacks . Israeli jets began attacking Egyptian SAM sites and radars , prompting General Ismail to withdraw much of the Egyptians ' air defense equipment . This in turn gave the IAF still greater freedom to operate in Egyptian airspace . Israeli jets also attacked and destroyed underground communication cables at Banha in the Nile Delta , forcing the Egyptians to transmit selective messages by radio , which could be intercepted . Aside from the cables at Banha , Israel refrained from attacking economic and strategic infrastructure following an Egyptian threat to retaliate against Israeli cities with Scud missiles . Israeli aircraft bombed Egyptian Scud batteries at Port Said several times . The Egyptian Air Force attempted to interdict IAF sorties and attack Israeli ground forces , but suffered heavy losses in dogfights and from Israeli air defenses , while inflicting light aircraft losses on the Israelis . The heaviest air battles took place over the northern Nile Delta , where the Israelis repeatedly attempted to destroy Egyptian airbases . Securing the bridgehead Despite the success the Israelis were having on the west bank , Generals Bar - Lev and Elazar ordered Sharon to concentrate on securing the bridgehead on the east bank . He was ordered to clear the roads leading to the canal as well as a position known as the Chinese Farm , just north of Deversoir , the Israeli crossing point . Sharon objected and requested permission to expand and breakout of the bridgehead on the west bank , arguing that such a maneuver would cause the collapse of Egyptian forces on the east bank . But the Israeli high command was insistent , believing that until the east bank was secure , forces on the west bank could be cut off . Sharon was overruled by his superiors and relented . On October 16 , he dispatched Amnon Reshef 's Brigade to attack the Chinese Farm . Other IDF forces attacked entrenched Egyptian forces overlooking the roads to the canal . After three days of bitter and close - quarters fighting , the Israelis succeeded in dislodging the numerically superior Egyptian forces . The Israelis lost about 300 dead , 1,000 wounded , and 56 tanks . The Egyptians suffered heavier casualties , including 118 tanks destroyed and 15 captured . Egyptian response to the Israeli crossing Israeli soldiers during the Battle of Ismailia . One of them has a captured Egyptian RPG - 7 . The Egyptians meanwhile failed to grasp the extent and magnitude of the Israeli crossing , nor did they appreciate its intent and purpose . This was partly due to attempts by Egyptian field commanders to obfuscate reports concerning the Israeli crossing and partly due to a false assumption that the canal crossing was merely a diversion for a major IDF offensive targeting the right flank of the Second Army . Consequently , on October 16 , General Shazly ordered the 21st Armored Division to attack southward and the T - 62 - equipped 25th Independent Armored Brigade to attack northward in a pincer action to eliminate the perceived threat to the Second Army . The Egyptians failed to scout the area and were unaware that by now , Adan 's 162nd Armored Division was in the vicinity . Moreover , the 21st and 25th failed to coordinate their attacks , allowing General Adan 's Division to meet each force individually . Adan first concentrated his attack on the 21st Armored Division , destroying 50 -- 60 Egyptian tanks and forcing the remainder to retreat . He then turned southward and ambushed the 25th Independent Armored Brigade , destroying 86 of its 96 tanks and all of its APCs while losing three tanks . Destroyed Israeli M48 Patton tanks on the banks of the Suez Canal . Egyptian artillery shelled the Israeli bridge over the canal on the morning of October 17 , scoring several hits . The Egyptian Air Force launched repeated raids , some with up to twenty aircraft , to take out the bridge and rafts , damaging the bridge . The Egyptians had to shut down their SAM sites during these raids , allowing Israeli fighters to intercept the Egyptians . The Egyptians lost 16 planes and 7 helicopters , while the Israelis lost 6 planes . The bridge was damaged , and the Israeli Paratroop Headquarters , which was near the bridge , was also hit , wounding the commander and his deputy . During the night , the bridge was repaired , but only a trickle of Israeli forces crossed . According to Chaim Herzog , the Egyptians continued attacking the bridgehead until the cease - fire , using artillery and mortars to fire tens of thousands of shells into the area of the crossing . Egyptian aircraft attempted to bomb the bridge every day , and helicopters launched suicide missions , making attempts to drop barrels of napalm on the bridge and bridgehead . The bridges were damaged multiple times , and had to be repaired at night . The attacks caused heavy casualties , and many tanks were sunk when their rafts were hit . Egyptian commandos and frogmen with armored support launched a ground attack against the bridgehead , which was repulsed with the loss of 10 tanks . Two subsequent Egyptian counterattacks were also beaten back . After the failure of the October 17 counterattacks , the Egyptian General Staff slowly began to realize the magnitude of the Israeli offensive . Early on October 18 , the Soviets showed Sadat satellite imagery of Israeli forces operating on the west bank . Alarmed , Sadat dispatched Shazly to the front to assess the situation first hand . He no longer trusted his field commanders to provide accurate reports . Shazly confirmed that the Israelis had at least one division on the west bank and were widening their bridgehead . He advocated withdrawing most of Egypt 's armor from the east bank to confront the growing Israeli threat on the west bank . Sadat rejected this recommendation outright and even threatened Shazly with a court martial . Ahmad Ismail Ali recommended that Sadat push for a cease - fire so as to prevent the Israelis from exploiting their successes . Israeli forces across the Suez Israeli forces were by now pouring across the canal on two bridges , including one of indigenous design , and motorized rafts . Israeli engineers under Brigadier - General Dan Even had worked under heavy Egyptian fire to set up the bridges , and over 100 were killed and hundreds more wounded . The crossing was difficult because of Egyptian artillery fire , though by 4 : 00 am , two of Adan 's brigades were on the west bank of the canal . On the morning of October 18 , Sharon 's forces on the west bank launched an offensive toward Ismailia , slowly pushing back the Egyptian paratroop brigade occupying the sand rampart northward to enlarge the bridgehead . Some of his units attempted to move west , but were stopped at the crossroads in Nefalia . Adan 's division rolled south toward Suez City while Magen 's division pushed west toward Cairo and south toward Adabiya . On October 19 , one of Sharon 's brigades continued to push the Egyptian paratroopers north towards Ismailia until the Israelis were within 8 or 10 km ( 5 or 6 mi ) of the city . Sharon hoped to seize the city and thereby sever the logistical and supply lines for most of the Egyptian Second Army . Sharon 's second brigade began to cross the canal . The brigade 's forward elements moved to the Abu Sultan Camp , from where they moved north to take Orcha , an Egyptian logistics base defended by a commando battalion . Israeli infantrymen cleared the trenches and bunkers , often engaging in hand - to - hand combat , as tanks moved alongside them and fired into the trench sections to their front . The position was secured before nightfall . More than 300 Egyptians were killed and 50 taken prisoner , while the Israelis lost 18 dead . The fall of Orcha caused the collapse of the Egyptian defensive line , allowing more Israeli troops to get onto the sand rampart . There , they were able to fire in support of Israeli troops facing Missouri Ridge , an Egyptian - occupied position on the Bar - Lev Line that could pose a threat to the Israeli crossing . On the same day , Israeli paratroopers participating in Sharon 's drive pushed the Egyptians back far enough for the Israeli bridges to be out of sight of Egyptian artillery observers , though the Egyptians continued shelling the area . As the Israelis pushed towards Ismailia , the Egyptians fought a delaying battle , falling into defensive positions further north as they came under increasing pressure from the Israeli ground offensive , coupled with airstrikes . On October 21 , one of Sharon 's brigades was occupying the city 's outskirts , but facing fierce resistance from Egyptian paratroopers and commandos . The same day , Sharon 's last remaining unit on the east bank attacked Missouri Ridge . Shmuel Gonen had demanded Sharon capture the position , and Sharon had reluctantly ordered the attack . The assault was preceded by an air attack that caused hundreds of Egyptian soldiers to flee and thousands of others to dig in . One battalion then attacked from the south , destroying 20 tanks and overrunning infantry positions before being halted by Sagger rockets and minefields . Another battalion attacked from southwest , and was stopped by fortified infantry . The Israelis managed to occupy one - third of Missouri Ridge . Defense Minister Moshe Dayan countermanded orders from Sharon 's superiors to continue the attack . However , the Israelis continued to expand their holdings on the east bank . According to the Israelis , the IDF bridgehead was 40 km ( 25 mi ) wide and 32 km ( 20 mi ) deep by the end of October 21 . On October 22 , Ismailia 's Egyptian defenders were occupying their last line of defense , but managed to repel an Israeli attempt to get behind Ismailia and encircle the city , then push some of Sharon 's forward troops back to the Sweetwater Canal . The Israeli advance on Ismailia had been stopped 10 km south of the city . Both sides had suffered heavy losses . On the northern front , the Israelis also attacked Port Said , facing Egyptian troops and a 900 - strong Tunisian unit , who fought a defensive battle . The Egyptian government claimed that the city was repeatedly bombed by Israeli jets , and that hundreds of civilians were killed or wounded . Adan and Magen moved south , decisively defeating the Egyptians in a series of engagements , though they often encountered determined Egyptian resistance , and both sides suffered heavy casualties . Adan advanced towards the Sweetwater Canal area , planning to break out into the surrounding desert and hit the Geneifa Hills , where many SAM sites were located . Adan 's three armored brigades fanned out , with one advancing through the Geneifa Hills , another along a parallel road south of them , and the third advancing towards Mina . Adan 's brigades met resistance from dug - in Egyptian forces in the Sweetwater Canal area 's greenbelt . Adan 's other brigades were also held by a line of Egyptian military camps and installations . Adan was also harassed by the Egyptian Air Force . The Israelis slowly advanced , bypassing Egyptian positions whenever possible . After being denied air support due to the presence of two SAM batteries that had been brought forward , Adan sent two brigades to attack them . The brigades slipped past the dug - in Egyptian infantry , moving out from the greenbelt for more than eight kilometres , and fought off multiple Egyptian counterattacks . From a distance of four kilometres , they shelled and destroyed the SAMs , allowing the IAF to provide Adan with close air support . Adan 's troops advanced through the greenbelt and fought their way to the Geneifa Hills , clashing with scattered Egyptian , Kuwaiti , and Palestinian troops . The Israelis clashed with an Egyptian armored unit at Mitzeneft and destroyed multiple SAM sites . Adan also captured Fayid Airport , which was subsequently prepared by Israeli crews to serve as a supply base and to fly out wounded soldiers . 16 kilometres ( 10 mi ) west of the Bitter Lake , Colonel Natke Nir 's brigade overran an Egyptian artillery brigade that had been participating in the shelling of the Israeli bridgehead . Scores of Egyptian artillerymen were killed and many more taken prisoner . Two Israeli soldiers were also killed , including the son of General Moshe Gidron . Meanwhile , Magen 's division moved west and then south , covering Adan 's flank and eventually moving south of Suez City to the Gulf of Suez . The Israeli advance southward reached Port Suez , on the southern boundary of the Suez Canal . The ceasefire and further battles When the ceasefire came into effect , Israel had lost territory on the east side of the Suez Canal to Egypt -- , but gained territory west of the canal and in the Golan Heights -- . An Israeli soldier on the road to Ismailia . The United Nations Security Council passed ( 14 -- 0 ) Resolution 338 calling for a ceasefire , largely negotiated between the U.S. and Soviet Union , on October 22 . It called upon the belligerents to immediately cease all military activity . The cease - fire was to come into effect 12 hours later at 6 : 52 pm Israeli time . Because this was after dark , it was impossible for satellite surveillance to determine where the front lines were when the fighting was supposed to stop . U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger intimated to Prime Minister Meir that he would not object to offensive action during the night before the ceasefire was to come into effect . Several minutes before the ceasefire came into effect , three Scud missiles were fired at Israeli targets by either Egyptian forces or Soviet personnel in Egypt . This was the first combat use of Scud missiles . One Scud targeted the port of Arish and two targeted the Israeli bridgehead on the Suez Canal . One hit an Israeli supply convoy and killed seven soldiers . When the time for the ceasefire arrived , Sharon 's division had failed to capture Ismailia and cut off the Second Army 's supply lines , but Israeli forces were just a few hundred metres short of their southern goal -- the last road linking Cairo and Suez . Adan 's drive south had left Israeli and Egyptian units scattered throughout the battlefield , with no clear lines between them . As Egyptian and Israeli units tried to regroup , regular firefights broke out . During the night , Elazar reported that the Egyptians were attacking in an attempt to regain land at various locations , and that nine Israeli tanks had been destroyed . He asked permission from Dayan to respond to the attacks and Dayan agreed . Israel then resumed its drive south . It is unclear which side fired first but Israeli field commanders used the skirmishes as justification to resume the attacks . When Sadat protested alleged Israeli truce violations , Israel said that Egyptian troops had fired first . William B. Quandt noted that regardless of who fired the first post-ceasefire shot , it was the Israeli Army that was advancing beyond the October 22 ceasefire lines . Adan resumed his attack on October 23 . Israeli troops finished the drive south , captured the last ancillary road south of the port of Suez , and encircled the Egyptian Third Army east of the Suez Canal . The Israelis then transported enormous amounts of military equipment across the canal , which Egypt claimed was in violation of the ceasefire . Egyptian aircraft launched repeated attacks in support of the Third Army , sometimes in groups of up to 30 planes , but took severe losses . Israeli armor and paratroopers also entered Suez in an attempt to capture the city , but they were confronted by Egyptian soldiers and hastily raised local militia forces . They were surrounded , but towards night the Israeli forces managed to extricate themselves . The Israelis had lost 80 dead and 120 wounded , with an unknown number of Egyptian casualties , for no tactical gain ( see Battle of Suez ) . The next morning , October 23 , a flurry of diplomatic activity occurred . Soviet reconnaissance flights had confirmed that Israeli forces were moving south , and the Soviets accused the Israelis of treachery . Kissinger called Meir in an effort to persuade her to withdraw a few hundred metres and she indicated that Israel 's tactical position on the ground had improved . Egypt 's trapped Third Army Kissinger found out about the Third Army 's encirclement shortly thereafter . Kissinger considered that the situation presented the United States with a tremendous opportunity and that Egypt was dependent on the United States to prevent Israel from destroying its trapped army . The position could be parlayed later into allowing the United States to mediate the dispute and wean Egypt from Soviet influence . As a result , the United States exerted tremendous pressure on the Israelis to refrain from destroying the trapped army , even threatening to support a UN resolution demanding that the Israelis withdraw to their October 22 positions if they did not allow non-military supplies to reach the army . In a phone call with Israeli ambassador Simcha Dinitz , Kissinger told the ambassador that the destruction of the Egyptian Third Army `` is an option that does not exist . '' Despite being surrounded , the Third Army managed to maintain its combat integrity east of the canal and keep up its defensive positions , to the surprise of many . According to Trevor N. Dupuy , the Israelis , Soviets and Americans overestimated the vulnerability of the Third Army at the time . It was not on the verge of collapse , and he wrote that while a renewed Israeli offensive would probably overcome it , this was not a certainty , and according to David Elazar chief of Israeli headquarter staff on December 3 , 1973 : `` As for the third army , in spite of our encircling them they resisted and advanced to occupy in fact a wider area of land at the east . Thus , we can not say that we defeated or conquered them . '' David T. Buckwalter agrees that despite the isolation of the Third Army , it was unclear if the Israelis could have protected their forces on the west bank of the canal from a determined Egyptian assault and still maintain sufficient strength along the rest of the front . This assessment was challenged by Patrick Seale , who stated that the Third Army was `` on the brink of collapse '' . Seale 's position was supported by P.R. Kumaraswamy , who wrote that intense American pressure prevented the Israelis from annihilating the stranded Third Army . Herzog noted that given the Third Army 's desperate situation , in terms of being cut off from re-supply and reassertion of Israeli air superiority , the destruction of the Third Army was inevitable and could have been achieved within a very brief period . Shazly himself described the Third Army 's plight as `` desperate '' and classified its encirclement as a `` catastrophe that was too big to hide '' . He further noted that , `` the fate of the Egyptian Third Army was in the hands of Israel . Once the Third Army was encircled by Israeli troops every bit of bread to be sent to our men was paid for by meeting Israeli demands . '' Shortly before the ceasefire came into effect , an Israeli tank battalion advanced into Adabiya , and took it with support from the Israeli Navy . Some 1,500 Egyptian prisoners were taken , and about a hundred Egyptian soldiers assembled just south of Adabiya , where they held out against the Israelis . The Israelis also conducted their third and final incursion into Suez . They made some gains , but failed to break into the city center . As a result , the city was partitioned down the main street , with the Egyptians holding the city center and the Israelis controlling the outskirts , port installations and oil refinery , effectively surrounding the Egyptian defenders . Post war battles On the morning of October 26 , the Egyptian Third Army violated the ceasefire by attempting to break through surrounding Israeli forces . The attack was repulsed by Israeli air and ground forces . The Egyptians also made minor gains in attacks against Sharon 's forces in the Ismailia area . The Israelis reacted by bombing and shelling priority targets in Egypt , including command posts and water reserves . The front was quieter in the Second Army 's sector in the northern canal area , where both sides generally respected the ceasefire . Though most heavy fighting ended on October 28 , the fighting never stopped until January 18 , 1974 . Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Dayan stated that `` The cease - fire existed on paper , but the continued firing along the front was not the only characteristic of the situation between October 24 , 1973 and January 18 , 1974 . This intermediate period also held the ever - present possibility of a renewal of full - scale war . There were three variations on how it might break out , two Egyptian and one Israeli . One Egyptian plan was to attack Israeli units west of the canal from the direction of Cairo . The other was to cut off the Israeli canal bridgehead by a link - up of the Second and Third Armies on the east bank . Both plans were based on massive artillery pounding of Israeli forces , who were not well fortified and who would suffer heavy casualties . It was therefore thought that Israel would withdraw from the west bank , since she was most sensitive on the subject of soldier 's lives . Egypt , at the time had a total of 1,700 first - line tanks on both sides of the canal front , 700 on the east bank and 1,000 on the west bank . Also on the west bank , in the second line , were an additional 600 tanks for the defense of Cairo . She had some 2,000 artillery pieces , about 500 operational aircraft , and at least 130 SAM missile batteries positioned around our forces so as to deny us air support . '' The IDF acknowledged the loss of 14 soldiers during this postwar period . Egyptian losses were higher , especially in the sector controlled by General Ariel Sharon , who ordered his troops to respond with massive firepower to any Egyptian provocation . Some aerial battles took place , and the Israelis also shot down several helicopters attempting to resupply the Third Army . Final situation on the Egyptian front By the end of the war , the Israelis had advanced to positions some 101 kilometres from Egypt 's capital , Cairo , and occupied 1,600 square kilometres west of the Suez Canal . They had also cut the Cairo - Suez road and encircled the bulk of Egypt 's Third Army . The Israelis had also taken many prisoners after Egyptian soldiers , including many officers , began surrendering in masses towards the end of the war . The Egyptians held a narrow strip on the east bank of the canal , occupying some 1,200 square kilometres of the Sinai . One source estimated that the Egyptians had 70,000 men , 720 tanks and 994 artillery pieces on the east bank of the canal . However , 30,000 to 45,000 of them were now encircled by the Israelis . Despite Israel 's tactical successes west of the canal , the Egyptian military was reformed and organized . Consequently , according to Gamasy , the Israeli military position became `` weak '' for different reasons , `` One , Israel now had a large force ( about six or seven brigades ) in a very limited area of land , surrounded from all sides either by natural or man - made barriers , or by the Egyptian forces . This put it in a weak position . Moreover , there were the difficulties in supplying this force , in evacuating it , in the lengthy communication lines , and in the daily attrition in men and equipment . Two , to protect these troops , the Israeli command had to allocate other forces ( four or five brigades ) to defend the entrances to the breach at the Deversoir . Three , to immobilize the Egyptian bridgeheads in Sinai the Israeli command had to allocate ten brigades to face the Second and Third army bridgeheads . In addition , it became necessary to keep the strategic reserves at their maximum state of alert . Thus , Israel was obliged to keep its armed force - and consequently the country - mobilized for a long period , at least until the war came to an end , because the ceasefire did not signal the end of the war . There is no doubt that this in total conflict with its military theories . '' For those reasons and according to Dayan , `` It was therefore thought that Israel would withdraw from the west bank , since she was most sensitive on the subject of soldier 's lives . '' The Egyptian forces did n't pull to the west and held onto their positions east of the canal controlling both shores of the Suez Canal . None of the Canal 's main cities were occupied by Israel ; however , the city of Suez was surrounded . Egypt wished to end the war when they realized that the IDF canal crossing offensive could result in a catastrophe . The Egyptian 's besieged Third Army could not hold on without supply . The Israeli Army advanced to 100 km from Cairo , which worried Egypt . The Israeli army had open terrain and no opposition to advance further to Cairo ; had they done so , Sadat 's rule might have ended . On the Golan Heights Syrian attack President Hafez al - Assad ( right ) with soldiers , 1973 . A map of the fighting on the Golan Heights . In the Golan Heights , the Syrians attacked two Israeli brigades and eleven artillery batteries with five divisions ( the 7th , 9th and 5th , with the 1st and 3rd in reserve ) and 188 batteries . They began their attack with an airstrike by about 100 aircraft and a 50 - minute artillery barrage . The forward brigades of three divisions then penetrated the cease - fire lines and bypassed United Nations observer posts , followed by the main assault force , which was covered by mobile anti-aircraft batteries , bulldozers to penetrate anti-tank ditches , bridge - layers to overcome obstacles and mine - clearance vehicles . The engineering vehicles were priority targets for Israeli gunners and took heavy losses , but Syrian infantrymen , braving intense fire , advanced forward and used their entrenching tools to build up earthen causeways for the tanks , enabling them to overcome anti-tank ditches . At the onset of the battle , the Israeli brigades of some 3,000 troops , 180 tanks and 60 artillery pieces faced off against three infantry divisions with large armor components comprising 28,000 Syrian troops , 800 tanks and 600 artillery pieces . In addition , the Syrians deployed two armored divisions from the second day onwards . Every Israeli tank deployed on the Golan Heights was engaged during the initial attacks . Syrian commandos dropped by helicopter also took the most important Israeli stronghold at Mount Hermon , which had a variety of surveillance equipment . An Israeli force attempting to counterattack was stopped by a Syrian ambush . The Golan Heights front was given priority by the Israeli High Command because of its proximity to Israeli population centers . If the Syrians had regained the area , it would pose a serious threat to major Israeli cities such as Tiberias , Safed , Haifa and Netanya . Reservists were directed to the Golan as quickly as possible . They were assigned to tanks and sent to the front as soon as they arrived at army depots , without waiting for the crews they trained with to arrive , machine guns to be installed on the tanks , or taking the time to calibrate the tank guns ( a time - consuming process known as bore - sighting ) . The Syrians had expected it to take at least 24 hours for Israeli reserves to reach the front lines ; in fact , reserve units began reaching the battle lines only 15 hours after the war began . Israeli reserve forces approaching the Golan Heights were subjected to Syrian artillery fire directed from Mount Hermon . An abandoned Syrian T - 55 tank on the Golan Heights . As the Egyptians had in the Sinai , the Syrians took care to stay under cover of their SAM batteries . Also as in the Sinai , the Syrians made use of Soviet anti-tank weapons , though they were not as effective as in the Sinai because of the uneven terrain . The Israeli Air Force initially lost 40 planes from Syrian anti-aircraft batteries , but Israeli pilots soon adopted a different tactic ; flying in low over Jordan and diving in over the Golan heights , catching the Syrians in the flank and avoiding many of their batteries . Israeli aircraft dropped both conventional bombs and napalm , devastating Syrian armored columns . However , the Syrian Air Force repeatedly struck Israeli positions during this period . On the second day of the war , the Israeli Air Force attempted to take out the Syrian anti-aircraft batteries . Codenamed Doogman 5 , the attempt was a costly failure . The Israelis destroyed one Syrian missile battery and lost six aircraft . An Israeli Centurion tank . It was considered in many respects superior to the Soviet T - 54 / 55 . Syrian forces suffered heavy losses as Israeli tanks and infantry fought desperately to buy time for reserve forces to reach the front lines , and conducted stopgap blocking actions whenever the Syrians were on the verge of breaking through . Having practiced on the Golan Heights numerous times , Israeli gunners made effective use of mobile artillery . However , the Syrians pressed the attack in spite of their losses , and the vastly outnumbered defenders lost a number of tanks . Within six hours of the initial assault , the first Israeli line of defense was overrun by sheer weight of numbers , but the Israelis continued to resist . A Syrian tank brigade passing through the Rafid Gap turned northwest up a little - used route known as the Tapline Road , which cut diagonally across the Golan . This roadway would prove one of the main strategic hinges of the battle . It led straight from the main Syrian breakthrough points to Nafah , which was not only the location of Israeli divisional headquarters but the most important crossroads on the Heights . During the night , Israeli forces successfully held back numerically superior Syrian forces . The Syrians were equipped with night - vision goggles , and struck with precision . The Israelis had to allow the Syrians to advance to ranges close enough for night fighting , and then open fire . Whenever Syrian tanks penetrated the Israeli lines , Israeli gunners would immediately rotate their turrets and destroy them before turning their attention back to the oncoming forces . Israeli tank commander Avigdor Kahalani lined up his tanks and began a barrage of gunfire into the valley beyond their position , leading the Syrians to believe that they were facing a vast Israeli tank armada . During the night , the Syrians regained some of the high ground that Israel had held since the Six Day War , but were soon pushed off by an Israeli counterattack . Israeli tank on the Golan Heights during the Arab -- Israeli War Lieutenant Zvika Greengold , who arrived unattached to any unit , fought running battles with Syrian armor for 20 hours , sometimes with his single tank and other times as part of a larger unit , changing tanks half a dozen times as they were knocked out . Greengold suffered burn injuries , but stayed in action and repeatedly showed up at critical moments from an unexpected direction to change the course of a skirmish . For his actions , he received Israel 's highest decoration , the Medal of Valor . During over four days of fighting , the Israeli 7th Armored Brigade in the north ( commanded by Avigdor Ben - Gal ) managed to hold the rocky hill line defending the northern flank of their headquarters in Nafah , inflicting heavy losses on the Syrians . Syrian Brigadier - General Omar Abrash was killed on the third day of the fighting when his command tank was hit as he was preparing for an attack . However , the Syrians continued to press their attack , and the brigade began weakening as it took losses . By the afternoon of October 9 , only six of the brigade 's tanks remained in action , defending a clear path into northern Israel . After the brigade 's tanks were down to their last few rounds , they began to pull back . However , right then , a force of some 15 tanks which had been scrambled by Lt. Col. Yossi Ben - Hanan arrived . Although the group was in fact a scratch force of repaired tanks which had injured men among their crews , the Syrians , who had been exhausted by three days of continuous fighting , believed that the Israeli reserves were now arriving , and began to retreat . Abandoned Syrian T - 62 tanks on the Golan Heights . To the south , the Israeli Barak Armored Brigade was bereft of any natural defenses . The Syrians were initially slowed down by a minefield . The Barak Brigade 's gunners inflicted severe losses on the Syrians with accurate cannon fire , but Syrians continued pushing and the Barak Brigade began to take heavy casualties . The Israelis continued to fight desperately , hoping to buy time for reserve forces to reach the front lines . In several instances , some tank crews sacrificed themselves rather than voluntarily give ground . At night , the Syrians made deadly use of infrared technology , while the Israelis responded by using illumination rounds and xenon light projectors on their tanks and carried out a series of small blocking actions . Brigade Commander Colonel Shoham was killed on the second day , along with his second - in - command and operations officer , as the Syrians desperately tried to advance towards the Sea of Galilee and Nafah . At this point , the Barak Brigade was no longer a cohesive force , although surviving tanks and crewmen continued fighting independently . The Syrians were close to reaching the Israeli defenders at Nafah , yet stopped the advance on Nafah 's fences at 1700 ; the pause lasted all night , allowing Israeli forces to form a defensive line . It is surmised that the Syrians had calculated estimated advances , and the commanders in the field did not want to diverge from the plan . The tide in the Golan began to turn as arriving Israeli reserve forces were able to contain the Syrian advance . Beginning on October 8 , the Israelis began pushing the Syrians back towards the pre-war ceasefire lines , inflicting heavy tank losses . Another Syrian attack north of Quneitra was repulsed . The tiny Golan Heights were too small to act as an effective territorial buffer , unlike the Sinai Peninsula in the south , but it proved to be a strategic geographical stronghold and was a crucial key in preventing the Syrians from bombarding the cities below . The Israelis , who had suffered heavy casualties during the first three days of fighting , also began relying more heavily on artillery to dislodge the Syrians at long - range . The aftermath of an Israeli airstrike on the Syrian General Staff headquarters in Damascus . On October 9 , Syrian FROG - 7 surface - to - surface missiles struck the Israeli Air Force base of Ramat David , killing a pilot and injuring several soldiers . Additional missiles struck civilian settlements . In retaliation , seven Israeli F - 4 Phantoms flew into Syria and struck the Syrian General Staff Headquarters in Damascus . The jets struck from Lebanese airspace to avoid the heavily defended regions around the Golan Heights , attacking a Lebanese radar station along the way . The upper floors of the Syrian GHQ and the Air Force Command were badly damaged . A Soviet cultural center , a television station , and other nearby structures were also mistakenly hit . One Israeli Phantom was shot down . The strike prompted the Syrians to transfer air defense units from the Golan Heights to the home front , allowing the Israeli Air Force greater freedom of action . On October 9 , as the last Syrian units were being driven from the Golan Heights , the Syrians launched a counterattack north of Quneitra . As part of the operation , they attempted to land heli - borne troops in the vicinity of El Rom . The counterattack was repulsed , and four Syrian helicopters were shot down with total loss of life . By October 10 , the last Syrian unit in the central sector was pushed back across the Purple Line , the pre-war ceasefire line . After four days of intense and incessant combat , the Israelis had succeeded in ejecting the Syrians from the entire Golan . A decision now had to be made -- whether to stop at the post-1967 border or to continue advancing into Syrian territory . The Israeli High Command spent all of October 10 debating well into the night . Some favored disengagement , which would allow soldiers to be redeployed to the Sinai ( Shmuel Gonen 's defeat at Hizayon in the Sinai had taken place two days earlier ) . Others favored continuing the attack into Syria , towards Damascus , which would knock Syria out of the war ; it would also restore Israel 's image as the supreme military power in the Middle East and would give Israel a valuable bargaining chip once the war ended . Others countered that Syria had strong defenses -- antitank ditches , minefields , and strongpoints -- and that it would be better to fight from defensive positions in the Golan Heights ( rather than the flat terrain deeper in Syria ) in the event of another war with Syria . However , Prime Minister Golda Meir realized the most crucial point of the whole debate : It would take four days to shift a division to the Sinai . If the war ended during this period , the war would end with a territorial loss for Israel in the Sinai and no gain in the north -- an unmitigated defeat . This was a political matter and her decision was unmitigating -- to cross the purple line ... The attack would be launched tomorrow , Thursday , October 11 . Israeli advance Israeli artillery pounds Syrian forces near the Valley of Tears . Quneitra village , showing two minarets and an elevated car On October 11 , Israeli forces pushed into Syria and advanced towards Damascus along the Quneitra - Damascus road until October 14 , encountering stiff resistance by Syrian reservists in prepared defenses . Three Israeli divisions broke the first and second defensive lines near Sasa , and conquered a further 50 square kilometres of territory in the Bashan salient . From there , they were able to shell the outskirts of Damascus , only 40 km away , using M107 heavy artillery . On October 12 , Israeli paratroopers from the elite Sayeret Tzanhanim reconnaissance unit launched Operation Gown , infiltrating deep into Syria and destroying a bridge in the tri-border area of Syria , Iraq , and Jordan . The operation disrupted the flow of weapons and troops to Syria . During the operation , the paratroopers destroyed a number of tank transports and killed several Syrian soldiers . There were no Israeli casualties . As the Syrian position deteriorated , Jordan sent an expeditionary force into Syria . King Hussein , who had come under intense pressure to enter the war , told Israel of his intentions through U.S. intermediaries , in the hope that Israel would accept that this was not a casus belli justifying an attack on Jordan . Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Dayan declined to offer any such assurance , but said that Israel had no intention of opening another front . Iraq also sent an expeditionary force to Syria , consisting of the 3rd and 6th Armoured Divisions , some 30,000 men , 250 -- 500 tanks , and 700 APCs . Israeli jets attacked Iraqi forces as they arrived in Syria . The Iraqi divisions were a strategic surprise for the IDF , which had expected 24 - hour - plus advance intelligence of such moves . This turned into an operational surprise , as the Iraqis attacked the exposed southern flank of the advancing Israeli armor , forcing its advance units to retreat a few kilometres in order to prevent encirclement . Combined Syrian , Iraqi and Jordanian counterattacks prevented any further Israeli gains . However , they were unable to push the Israelis back from the Bashan salient , and suffered heavy losses in their engagements with the Israelis . The most effective attack took place on October 20 , though Arab forces lost 120 tanks in that engagement . The Syrian Air Force attacked Israeli columns , but its operations were highly limited because of Israeli air superiority , and it suffered heavy losses in dogfights with Israeli jets . On October 23 , a large air battle took place near Damascus during which the Israelis shot down 10 Syrian aircraft . The Syrians claimed a similar toll against Israel . The IDF also destroyed the Syrian missile defense system . The Israeli Air Force utilized its air superiority to attack strategic targets throughout Syria , including important power plants , petrol supplies , bridges and main roads . The strikes weakened the Syrian war effort , disrupted Soviet efforts to airlift military equipment into Syria , and disrupted normal life inside the country . On October 22 , the Golani Brigade and Sayeret Matkal commandos recaptured the outpost on Mount Hermon , after a hard - fought battle that involved hand - to - hand combat and Syrian sniper attacks . An unsuccessful attack two weeks prior had cost the Israelis 23 dead and 55 wounded and the Syrians 29 dead and 11 wounded , while this second attack cost Israel an additional 55 dead and 79 wounded . An unknown number of Syrians were also killed and some were taken prisoner . An IDF D9 bulldozer supported by infantry forced its way to the peak . An Israeli paratroop force , landing by helicopter took the corresponding Syrian Hermon outposts on the mountain , killing more than a dozen Syrians while losing one dead and four wounded . Seven Syrian MiGs and two Syrian helicopters carrying reinforcements were shot down as they attempted to intercede . Northern front de-escalation The Syrians prepared for a massive counteroffensive to drive Israeli forces out of Syria , scheduled for October 23 . A total of five Syrian divisions were to take part , alongside the Iraqi and Jordanian expeditionary forces . The Soviets had replaced most of the losses Syria 's tank forces had suffered during the first weeks of the war . However , the day before the offensive was to begin , the United Nations imposed its ceasefire ( following the acquiescence of both Israel and Egypt ) . Abraham Rabinovich claimed that `` The acceptance by Egypt of the cease - fire on Monday ( October 22 ) created a major dilemma for Assad . The cease - fire did not bind him , but its implications could not be ignored . Some on the Syrian General Staff favored going ahead with the attack , arguing that if it did so Egypt would feel obliged to continue fighting as well ... Others , however , argued that continuation of the war would legitimize Israel 's efforts to destroy the Egyptian Third Army . In that case , Egypt would not come to Syria 's assistance when Israel turned its full might northward , destroying Syria 's infrastructure and perhaps attacking Damascus '' . Ultimately , Syrian President Hafez al - Assad decided to cancel the offensive . On October 23 , the day the offensive was to begin , Syria announced that it had accepted the ceasefire , and ordered its troops to cease fire , while the Iraqi government ordered its forces home . Following the UN ceasefire , there were constant artillery exchanges and skirmishes , and Israeli forces continued to occupy positions deep within Syria . According to Syrian Foreign Minister Abdel Halim Khaddam , Syria 's constant artillery attacks were `` part of a deliberate war of attrition designed to paralyse the Israeli economy '' , and were intended to pressure Israel into yielding the occupied territory . Some aerial engagements took place , and both sides lost several aircraft . In spring 1974 , the Syrians attempted to retake the summit of Mount Hermon . The fighting lasted for more than a month and saw heavy losses on both sides , but the Israelis held their positions . The situation continued until a May 1974 disengagement agreement . Jordanian participation The U.S. pressed King Hussein to keep Jordan out of the war . Though King Hussein of Jordan initially refrained from entering the conflict , on the night of October 12 -- 13 Jordanian troops deployed to the Jordanian - Syrian frontier to buttress Syrian troops , and Jordanian forces joined Syrian and Iraqi assaults on Israeli positions on October 16 and October 19 . Hussein sent a second brigade to the Golan front on October 21 . According to historian Assaf David , declassified U.S. documents show that the Jordanian participation was only a token to preserve King Hussein 's status in the Arab world . The documents reveal that Israel and Jordan had a tacit understanding that the Jordanian units would try to stay out of the fighting and Israel would try to not attack them . Final situation on the Syrian front The Israeli Army advanced to a 40 km distance from Damascus from where they were able to shell the outskirts of Damascus using M107 heavy artillery . The war at Sea Diagram of the Battle of Latakia Diagram of the Battle of Baltim On the first day of the war , Egyptian missile boats bombarded the Sinai Mediterranean coast , targeting Rumana and Ras Beyron , Ras Masala and Ras Sudar on the Gulf of Suez , and Sharm el - Sheikh . Egyptian naval frogmen also raided the oil installations at Bala'eem , disabling the massive driller . The Battle of Latakia , between the Israeli and Syrian navies , took place on October 7 , the second day of the war . Five Israeli missile boats heading towards the Syrian port of Latakia , sank a Syrian torpedo boat and minesweeper before encountering five Syrian missile boats . The Israelis used electronic countermeasures and chaff to evade Syrian missiles , then sank all five Syrian missile boats . This revolutionary engagement , the first between missile boats using surface - to - surface missiles , proved the potency of small , fast missile boats equipped with advanced ECM packages . The battle also established the Israeli Navy , long derided as the `` black sheep '' of the Israeli military , as a formidable and effective force in its own right . The port of Latakia was the site of another engagement between October 10 -- 11 , when Israeli missile boats fired into the port , targeting two Syrian missile boats spotted maneuvering among merchant ships . Both Syrian vessels were sunk , and two merchant ships were mistakenly hit and sunk . October 7 also witnessed he Battle of Marsa Talamat . Two Israeli Dabur class patrol boats patrolling in the Gulf of Suez encountered two Egyptian Zodiac boats loaded with Egyptian naval commandos , a patrol boat , backed up by coastal guns . The Israeli patrol boats sank both Zodiacs and the patrol boat , though both suffered damage during the battle . The Battle of Baltim , which took place on October 8 -- 9 off the coast of Baltim and Damietta , ended in a decisive Israeli victory . Six Israeli missile boats heading towards Port Said encountered four Egyptian missile boats coming from Alexandria . In an engagement lasting about forty minutes , the Israelis evaded Egyptian Styx missiles using electronic countermeasures and sank three of the Egyptian missile boats with Gabriel missiles and gunfire . The Battles of Latakia and Baltim `` drastically changed the operational situation at sea to Israeli advantage '' . Five nights after the Battle of Baltim , five Israeli patrol boats entered the Egyptian anchorage at Ras Ghareb , where over fifty Egyptian small patrol craft , including armed fishing boats mobilized for the war effort and loaded with troops , ammunition and supplies bound for the Israeli side of the Gulf , were based . In the battle that followed , 19 Egyptian boats were sunk , while others remained bottled up in port . The Israeli Navy had control of the Gulf of Suez during the war , which made possible the continued deployment of an Israeli SAM battery near an Israeli naval base close to the southern end of the Suez Canal , depriving the Egyptian Third Army of air support and preventing it from moving southward and attempting to capture the southern Sinai . Israeli commandos from Shayetet 13 , the Israeli Navy 's elite special unit , infiltrated the Egyptian port of Hurghada on the night of October 9 -- 10 and sank a Komar - class missile boat after four previous attempts had failed . After another infiltration attempt failed , the commandos successfully infiltrated Hurghada again on the night of October 21 -- 22 and heavily damaged a missile boat with M72 LAW rockets . During one of the raids , the commandos also blew up the port 's main docking pier . On October 16 , Shayetet 13 commandos infiltrated Port Said in two Hazir mini-submarines to strike Egyptian naval targets . During the raid , the commandos sank a torpedo boat , a coast guard boat , a tank landing craft , and a missile boat . Two frogmen went missing during the operation . On October 18 , Israeli frogmen set off an explosion that severed two underwater communications cables off Beirut , one of which led to Alexandria and the other to Marseilles . As a result , telex and telecommunications between the West and Syria were severed , and were not restored until the cables were repaired on October 27 . The cables had also been used by the Syrians and Egyptians to communicate with each other in preference to using radio , which was monitored by Israeli , U.S. and Soviet intelligence . Egypt and Syria resorted to communicating via a Jordanian radio station in Ajloun , bouncing the signals off a U.S. satellite . On October 11 , Israeli missile boats sank two Syrian missile boats in an engagement off Tartus . During the battle , a Soviet merchant ship was hit by Israeli missiles and sank . A Syrian oil terminal in Baniyas after being shelled by Israeli Sa'ar 3 - class missile boats Having decisively beaten the Egyptian and Syrian navies , the Israeli Navy had the run of the coastlines . Israeli missile boats utilized their 76mm cannons and other armaments to strike targets along the Egyptian and Syrian coastlines , including wharves , oil tank farms , coastal batteries , radar stations , airstrips , and other targets of military value . The Israeli Navy even attacked some of Egypt 's northernmost SAM batteries . The Israeli Navy 's attacks were carried out with minimal support from the Israeli Air Force ( only one Arab naval target was destroyed from the air during the entire war ) . The Egyptian Navy managed to enforce a blockade at Bab - el - Mandeb . Eighteen million tons of oil had been transported yearly from Iran to Israel through the straits of Bab - el - Mandeb . The blockade was enforced by two Egyptian destroyers and two submarines , supported by ancillary craft . Shipping destined for Israel through the Gulf of Eilat was halted by the Egyptians . The Israeli Navy had no means of lifting the blockade due to the long range involved , and the Israeli Air Force , apparently also incapable of lifting the blockade , did not challenge it . The blockade was lifted on November 1 , after Israel used the surrounded Egyptian Third Army as a bargaining chip . The Egyptians unsuccessfully attempted to blockade the Israeli Mediterranean coastline , and mined the Gulf of Suez to prevent the transportation of oil from the Bala'eem and Abu Rudeis oil fields in southwestern Sinai to Eilat in southern Israel . Two oil tankers , of 48,000 ton and 2,000 ton capacity , sank after hitting mines in the Gulf . According to Admiral Ze'ev Almog , the Israeli Navy escorted tankers from the Gulf to Eilat throughout the war , and Israeli tankers sailing from Iran were directed to bypass the Red Sea . As a result of these actions and the failure of Egypt 's Mediterranean blockade , the transport of oil , grain and weapons to Israeli ports was made possible throughout nearly the entire war . A post-war survey found that during the entire war period , Israel suffered no oil shortages , and even sold oil to third parties affected by the Arab oil embargo . This claim was disputed by Edgar O'Ballance , who claimed that no oil went to Israel during the blockade , and the Eilat - Ashdod pipeline was empty by the end of the war . Israel responded with a counter-blockade of Egypt in the Gulf of Suez . The Israeli blockade was enforced by naval vessels based at Sharm el - Sheikh and the Sinai coast facing the Gulf of Suez . The Israeli blockade substantially damaged the Egyptian economy . According to historian Gammal Hammad , Egypt 's principal ports , Alexandria and Port Safaga , remained open to shipping throughout the war . Throughout the war , the Israeli Navy enjoyed complete command of the seas both in the Mediterranean approaches and in the Gulf of Suez . During the last week of the war , Egyptian frogmen carried out three or four raids on Eilat . The attacks caused minor damage , but created some alarm . According to Israeli and Western sources , the Israelis lost no vessels in the war . Israeli vessels were `` targeted by as many as 52 Soviet - made anti-ship missiles '' , but none hit their targets . According to historian Benny Morris , the Egyptians lost seven missile boats and four torpedo boats and coastal defense craft , while the Syrians lost five missile boats , one minesweeper , and one coastal defense vessel . All together , the Israeli Navy suffered three dead or missing and seven wounded . Atrocities against Israeli prisoners Syrian atrocities Syria ignored the Geneva Conventions and many Israeli prisoners of war were tortured or killed . Advancing Israeli forces , re-capturing land taken by the Syrians early in the war , came across the bodies of 28 Israeli soldiers who had been blindfolded with their hands bound and summarily executed . In a December 1973 address to the National Assembly , Syrian Defense Minister Mustafa Tlass stated that he had awarded one soldier the Medal of the Republic for killing 28 Israeli prisoners with an axe , decapitating three of them and eating the flesh of one of his victims . The Syrians employed brutal interrogation techniques utilizing electric shocks to the genitals . A number of Israeli soldiers taken prisoner on Mount Hermon were executed . Near the village of Hushniye , the Syrians captured 11 administrative personnel from the Golan Heights Force , all of whom were later found dead , blindfolded and with their hands tied behind their backs . Within Hushniye , seven Israeli prisoners were found dead , and another three were executed at Tel Zohar . Syrian prisoners who fell into Israeli captivity confirmed that their comrades killed IDF prisoners . Some Israeli POWs reported having their fingernails ripped out while others were described as being turned into human ashtrays as their Syrian guards burned them with lit cigarettes . A report submitted by the chief medical officer of the Israeli army notes that , `` the vast majority of ( Israeli ) prisoners were exposed during their imprisonment to severe physical and mental torture . The usual methods of torture were beatings aimed at various parts of the body , electric shocks , wounds deliberately inflicted on the ears , burns on the legs , suspension in painful positions and other methods . '' Following the conclusion of hostilities , Syria would not release the names of prisoners it was holding to the International Committee of the Red Cross and in fact , did not even acknowledge holding any prisoners despite the fact they were publicly exhibited by the Syrians for television crews . The Syrians , having been thoroughly defeated by Israel , were attempting to use their captives as their sole bargaining chip in the post-war negotiations . One of the most famous Israeli POWs was Avraham Lanir , an Israeli pilot who bailed out over Syria and was taken prisoner . Lanir died under Syrian interrogation . When his body was returned in 1974 , it exhibited signs of torture . Egyptian atrocities Israeli historian Aryeh Yitzhaki estimated that the Egyptians killed about 200 Israeli soldiers who had surrendered . Yitzhaki based his claim on army documents . In addition , dozens of Israeli prisoners were beaten and otherwise mistreated in Egyptian captivity . Individual Israeli soldiers gave testimony of witnessing comrades killed after surrendering to the Egyptians , or seeing the bodies of Israeli soldiers found blindfolded with their hands tied behind their backs . Avi Yaffe , a radioman serving on the Bar - Lev Line , reported hearing calls from other soldiers that the Egyptians were killing anyone who tried to surrender , and also obtained recordings of soldiers who were saved from Egyptian firing squads . Photographic evidence of such executions exists , though some of it has never been made public . Photos were also found of Israeli prisoners who were photographed alive in Egyptian captivity , but were returned to Israel dead . The order to kill Israeli prisoners came from General Shazly , who , in a pamphlet distributed to Egyptian soldiers immediately before the war , advised his troops to kill Israeli soldiers even if they surrendered . Participation by other States Failure of the U.S. intelligence community The U.S. intelligence community -- which includes the CIA -- failed to predict in advance the Egyptian - Syrian attack on Israel . A U.S. intelligence report as late as October 4 still stated that `` We continue to believe that an outbreak of major Arab -- Israeli hostilities remains unlikely for the immediate future '' . However , one U.S. government source that was able to predict the approaching war was Roger Merrick , an analyst working for the INR ( Intelligence and Research section in the State Department ) , but his conclusions were ignored at the time , and the report he had written to that effect was only rediscovered by U.S. government archive officials in 2013 . U.S. aid to Israel Based on intelligence estimates at the commencement of hostilities , American leaders expected the tide of the war to quickly shift in Israel 's favor , and that Arab armies would be completely defeated within 72 to 96 hours . On October 6 , Secretary of State Kissinger convened the National Security Council 's official crisis management group , the Washington Special Actions Group , which debated whether the U.S. should supply additional arms to Israel . High - ranking representatives of the Defense and State Departments opposed such a move . Kissinger was the sole dissenter ; he said that if the U.S. refused aid , Israel would have little incentive to conform to American views in postwar diplomacy . Kissinger argued the sending of U.S. aid might cause Israel to moderate its territorial claims , but this thesis raised a protracted debate whether U.S. aid was likely to make it more accommodating or more intransigent toward the Arab world . An Israeli M48 Patton captured by Egyptian forces By October 8 , Israel had encountered military difficulties on both fronts . In the Sinai , Israeli efforts to break through Egyptian lines with armor had been thwarted , and while Israel had contained and begun to turn back the Syrian advance , Syrian forces were still overlooking the Jordan River and their air defense systems were inflicting a high toll on Israeli planes . It became clear by October 9 that no quick reversal in Israel 's favor would occur and that IDF losses were unexpectedly high . During the night of October 8 -- 9 , an alarmed Dayan told Meir that `` this is the end of the third temple . '' He was warning of Israel 's impending total defeat , but `` Temple '' was also the code word for Israel 's nuclear weapons . Dayan raised the nuclear topic in a cabinet meeting , warning that the country was approaching a point of `` last resort '' . That night Meir authorized the assembly of thirteen 20 - kiloton - of - TNT ( 84 TJ ) tactical nuclear weapons for Jericho missiles at Sdot Micha Airbase and McDonnell Douglas F - 4 Phantom II aircraft at Tel Nof Airbase . They would be used if absolutely necessary to prevent total defeat , but the preparation was done in an easily detectable way , likely as a signal to the United States . Kissinger learned of the nuclear alert on the morning of October 9 . That day , President Nixon ordered the commencement of Operation Nickel Grass , an American airlift to replace all of Israel 's material losses . Anecdotal evidence suggests that Kissinger told Sadat that the reason for the U.S. airlift was that the Israelis were close to `` going nuclear '' . However , subsequent interviews with Kissinger , Schlesinger , and William Quandt suggested that the nuclear aspect was not a major factor in the decision to re-supply . These officials cited the ongoing Soviet re-supply effort and Sadat 's early rejection of a ceasefire as the primary motivators . European countries refused to allow U.S. airplanes carrying supplies for Israel to refuel at their bases , fearing an Arab oil embargo , with the exception of Portugal and the Netherlands . Portugal permitted the United States to use a leased base in the Azores , and the defence minister of the Netherlands , apparently acting without consulting his cabinet colleagues , secretly authorised the use of Dutch airfields . An M60 delivered during Operation Nickel Grass Israel began receiving supplies via U.S. Air Force cargo airplanes on October 14 , although some equipment had arrived on planes from Israel 's national airline El Al before this date . By that time , the IDF had advanced deep into Syria and was mounting a largely successful invasion of the Egyptian mainland from the Sinai , but had taken severe material losses . According to Abraham Rabinovich , `` while the American airlift of supplies did not immediately replace Israel 's losses in equipment , it did allow Israel to expend what it did have more freely '' . By the end of Nickel Grass , the United States had shipped 22,395 tons of matériel to Israel . 8,755 tons of it arrived before the end of the war . American C - 141 Starlifter and C - 5 Galaxy aircraft flew 567 missions throughout the airlift . El Al planes flew in an additional 5,500 tons of matériel in 170 flights . The airlift continued after the war until November 14 . The United States delivered approximately 90,000 tons of materiel to Israel by sealift by the beginning of December , using 16 ships . 33,210 tons of it arrived by November . By the beginning of December , Israel had received between 34 and 40 F - 4 fighter - bombers , 46 A-4 attack airplanes , 12 C - 130 cargo airplanes , 8 CH - 53 helicopters , 40 unmanned aerial vehicles , 200 M - 60 / M - 48A3 tanks , 250 armored personnel carriers , 226 utility vehicles , 12 MIM - 72 Chaparral surface - to - air missile systems , three MIM - 23 Hawk surface - to - air missile systems , 36 155 mm artillery pieces , seven 175 mm artillery pieces , and large quantities of 105 mm , 155 mm and 175 mm ammunition . State of the art equipment , such as the AGM - 65 Maverick missile and the BGM - 71 TOW , weapons that had only entered production one or more years prior , as well as highly advanced electronic jamming equipment , was also sent . Most of the combat airplanes arrived during the war , and many were taken directly from United States Air Force units . Most of the large equipment arrived after the ceasefire . The total cost of the equipment was approximately US $800 million ( US $4.32 billion today ) . On October 13 and 15 , Egyptian air defense radars detected an aircraft at an altitude of 25,000 metres ( 82,000 ft ) and a speed of Mach 3 ( 3,675 km / h ; 2,284 mph ) , making it impossible to intercept either by fighter or SAM missiles . The aircraft proceeded to cross the whole of the canal zone , the naval ports of the Red Sea ( Hurghada and Safaga ) , flew over the airbases and air defenses in the Nile delta , and finally disappeared from radar screens over the Mediterranean Sea . The speed and altitude were those of the U.S. Lockheed SR - 71 Blackbird , a long - range strategic - reconnaissance aircraft . According to Egyptian commanders , the intelligence provided by the reconnaissance flights helped the Israelis prepare for the Egyptian attack on October 14 and assisted it in conducting Operation Stouthearted Men . Aid to Egypt and Syria Soviet supplies A Syrian BMP - 1 captured by Israeli forces Starting on October 9 , the Soviet Union began supplying Egypt and Syria by air and by sea . The Soviets airlifted 12,500 -- 15,000 tons of supplies , of which 6,000 tons went to Egypt , 3,750 tons went to Syria and 575 tons went to Iraq . General Shazly , the former Egyptian chief of staff , claimed that more than half of the airlifted Soviet hardware actually went to Syria . According to Ze'ev Schiff , Arab losses were so high and the attrition rate so great that equipment was taken directly from Soviet and Warsaw Pact stores to supply the airlift . Antonov An - 12 and AN - 22 aircraft flew over 900 missions during the airlift . The Soviets supplied another 63,000 tons , mainly to Syria , by means of a sealift by October 30 . Historian Gamal Hammad asserts that 400 T - 55 and T - 62 tanks supplied by the sealift were directed towards replacing Syrian losses , transported from Odessa on the Black Sea to the Syrian port of Latakia . Hammad claimed that Egypt did not receive any tanks from the Soviets , a claim disputed by Schiff , who stated that Soviet freighters loaded with tanks and other weapons reached Egyptian , Algerian and Syrian ports throughout the war . The sealift may have included Soviet nuclear weapons , which were not unloaded but kept in Alexandria harbor until November to counter the Israeli nuclear preparations , which Soviet satellites had detected ( Soviet intelligence informed Egypt that Israel had armed three nuclear weapons ) . American concern over possible evidence of nuclear warheads for the Soviet Scud missiles in Egypt contributed to Washington 's decision to go to DEFCON 3 . According to documents declassified in 2016 , the move to DEFCON 3 was motivated by Central Intelligence Agency reports indicating that the Soviet Union had sent a ship to Egypt carrying nuclear weapons along with two other amphibious vessels . Soviet troops never landed , though the ship supposedly transporting nuclear weapons did arrive in Egypt . Further details are unavailable and may remain classified . Soviet active aid On the Golan front , Syrian forces received direct support from Soviet technicians and military personnel . At the start of the war , there were an estimated 2,000 Soviet personnel in Syria , of whom 1,000 were serving in Syrian air defense units . Soviet technicians repaired damaged tanks , SAMs and radar equipment , assembled fighter jets that arrived via the sealift , and drove tanks supplied by the sealift from ports to Damascus . On both the Golan and Sinai fronts , Soviet military personnel retrieved abandoned Israeli military equipment for shipment to Moscow . Soviet advisors were reportedly present in Syrian command posts `` at every echelon , from battalion up , including supreme headquarters '' . Some Soviet military personnel went into battle with the Syrians , and it was estimated that 20 were killed in action and more were wounded . In July 1974 , Israeli Defense Minister Shimon Peres informed the Knesset that high - ranking Soviet officers had been killed on the Syrian front during the war . There were strong rumors that a handful were taken prisoner , but this was denied . However , it was noted that certain Soviet Jews were allowed to emigrate just after the war , leading to suspicions of a covert exchange . The Observer wrote that seven Soviets in uniform were taken prisoner after surrendering when the Israelis overran their bunker . The Israelis reportedly took the prisoners to Ramat David Airbase for interrogation , and treated the incident with great secrecy . Israeli military intelligence reported that Soviet - piloted MiG - 25 Foxbat interceptor / reconnaissance aircraft overflew the Canal Zone . Soviet threat of intervention October 24 . A UN-arranged meeting between IDF Lt. Gen. Haim Bar - Lev and Egyptian Brigadier General Bashir Sharif in Sinai . On October 9 , the Soviet cultural center in Damascus was damaged during an Israeli airstrike , and two days later , the Soviet merchant ship Ilya Mechnikov was sunk by the Israeli Navy during a battle off Syria . The Soviets condemned Israeli actions , and there were calls within the government for military retaliation . The Soviets ultimately reacted by deploying two destroyers off the Syrian coast . Soviet warships in the Mediterranean were authorized to open fire on Israeli combatants approaching Soviet convoys and transports . There were several recorded instances of Soviet ships exchanging fire with Israeli forces . In particular , the Soviet minesweeper Rulevoi and the medium landing ship SDK - 137 , guarding Soviet transport ships at the Syrian port of Latakia , fired on approaching Israeli jets . During the cease - fire , Henry Kissinger mediated a series of exchanges with the Egyptians , Israelis and the Soviets . On October 24 , Sadat publicly appealed for American and Soviet contingents to oversee the ceasefire ; it was quickly rejected in a White House statement . Kissinger also met with Soviet Ambassador Dobrynin to discuss convening a peace conference with Geneva as the venue . Later in the evening ( 9 : 35 pm ) of October 24 -- 25 , Brezhnev sent Nixon a `` very urgent '' letter . In that letter , Brezhnev began by noting that Israel was continuing to violate the ceasefire and it posed a challenge to both the U.S. and USSR . He stressed the need to `` implement '' the ceasefire resolution and `` invited '' the U.S. to join the Soviets `` to compel observance of the cease - fire without delay '' . He then threatened `` I will say it straight that if you find it impossible to act jointly with us in this matter , we should be faced with the necessity urgently to consider taking appropriate steps unilaterally . We can not allow arbitrariness on the part of Israel . '' The Soviets were threatening to militarily intervene in the war on Egypt 's side if they could not work together to enforce the ceasefire . Kissinger immediately passed the message to White House Chief of Staff Alexander Haig , who met with Nixon for 20 minutes around 10 : 30 pm , and reportedly empowered Kissinger to take any necessary action . Kissinger immediately called a meeting of senior officials , including Haig , Defense Secretary James Schlesinger , and CIA Director William Colby . The Watergate scandal had reached its apex , and Nixon was so agitated and discomposed that they decided to handle the matter without him : When Kissinger asked Haig whether ( Nixon ) should be wakened , the White House chief of staff replied firmly ' No . ' Haig clearly shared Kissinger 's feelings that Nixon was in no shape to make weighty decisions . The meeting produced a conciliatory response , which was sent ( in Nixon 's name ) to Brezhnev . At the same time , it was decided to increase the Defense Condition ( DEFCON ) from four to three . Lastly , they approved a message to Sadat ( again , in Nixon 's name ) asking him to drop his request for Soviet assistance , and threatening that if the Soviets were to intervene , so would the United States . The Soviets placed seven airborne divisions on alert and airlift was marshaled to transport them to the Middle East . An airborne command post was set up in the southern Soviet Union , and several air force units were also alerted . `` Reports also indicated that at least one of the divisions and a squadron of transport planes had been moved from the Soviet Union to an airbase in Yugoslavia '' . The Soviets also deployed seven amphibious warfare craft with some 40,000 naval infantry in the Mediterranean . The Soviets quickly detected the increased American defense condition , and were astonished and bewildered at the response . `` Who could have imagined the Americans would be so easily frightened , '' said Nikolai Podgorny . `` It is not reasonable to become engaged in a war with the United States because of Egypt and Syria , '' said Premier Alexei Kosygin , while KGB chief Yuri Andropov added that `` We shall not unleash the Third World War . '' The letter from the U.S. cabinet arrived during the meeting . Brezhnev decided that the Americans were too nervous , and that the best course of action would be to wait to reply . The next morning , the Egyptians agreed to the American suggestion , and dropped their request for assistance from the Soviets , bringing the crisis to an end . Other countries Plaque commemorating the supply of 8 East German Air Force MiG - 21s to Syria during the war , on display at the Flugplatzmuseum Cottbus In total , Arab countries added up to 100,000 troops to Egypt and Syria 's frontline ranks . Besides Egypt , Syria , Jordan , and Iraq , several other Arab states were also involved in this war , providing additional weapons and financing . In addition to its forces in Syria , Iraq sent a single Hawker Hunter squadron to Egypt . The squadron quickly gained a reputation amongst Egyptian field commanders for its skill in air support , particularly in anti-armor strikes . However , nearly all Arab reinforcements came with no logistical plan or support , expecting their hosts to supply them , and in several cases causing logistical problems . On the Syrian front , a lack of coordination between Arab forces led to several instances of friendly fire . Algeria sent a squadron each of MiG - 21s and Su - 7s to Egypt , which arrived at the front between October 9 and October 11 . It also sent an armored brigade of 150 tanks , the advance elements of which began to arrive on October 17 , but reached the front only on October 24 , too late to participate in the fighting . After the war , during the first days of November , Algeria deposited around US $200 million with the Soviet Union to finance arms purchases for Egypt and Syria . Algerian fighter jets however did participate in attacks together with Egyptians and Iraqis . Cuba sent approximately 4,000 troops , including tank and helicopter crews to Syria , and they reportedly engaged in combat operations against the IDF . 20 North Korean pilots and 19 non-combat personnel were sent to Egypt . The unit had four to six encounters with the Israelis from August through the end of the war . According to Shlomo Aloni , the last aerial engagement on the Egyptian front , which took place on December 6 , saw Israeli F - 4s engage North Korean - piloted MiG - 21s . The Israelis shot down one MiG , and another was mistakenly shot down by Egyptian air defenses . Egyptian sources said that the North Koreans suffered no losses but claimed no aerial victories in their engagements . According to Chengappa , several Pakistan Air Force pilots flew combat missions in Syrian aircraft , and shot down one Israeli fighter . Libya , which had forces stationed in Egypt before the outbreak of the war , provided one armored brigade and two squadrons of Mirage V fighters , of which one squadron was to be piloted by the Egyptian Air Force and the other by Libyan pilots . Only Egyptian - manned squadrons participated in the war . Libyan armored brigade stationed in Egypt never took an active part in the war . Libya also sent financial aid . Saudi Arabia sent 3,000 soldiers to Syria , bolstered by a squadron of Panhard AML - 90 armored cars . These arrived with additional Jordanian and Iraqi reinforcements in time for a new Syrian offensive scheduled for October 23 , which was later cancelled . One of the Panhards was later captured by the Israelis near Golan Heights and displayed to the media as proof of Saudi involvement . The Saudi armor was deployed primarily in rearguard actions and only participated in a single major engagement , clashing with the IDF 's 17th Reserve Armor Brigade near Tel Maschara on October 16 - 17 . Saudi Arabia also provided financial aid . Kuwait dispatched 3,000 soldiers to Syria . These arrived with additional Jordanian and Iraqi reinforcements in time for a new Syrian offensive scheduled for October 23 , which was later cancelled . Kuwaiti troops were also sent to Egypt . Kuwait also provided financial aid . Morocco sent one infantry brigade to Egypt and one armored regiment to Syria. 6 Moroccan troops were taken prisoner in the war . Tunisia sent 1,000 -- 2,000 soldiers to Egypt , where they were stationed in the Nile Delta and some of them were stationed to defend Port Said . Lebanon sent radar units to Syria for air defense . Lebanon however did not take part in the war . North Korea was reported to have sent pilots to fly for the Egyptian Air Force . Sudan deployed a 3,500 - strong infantry brigade to Egypt . It arrived on October 28 , too late to participate in the war . Non-state participants : An infantry brigade composed of Palestinians was in Egypt before the outbreak of the war . Palestinian attacks from the Lebanese border During the course of the war , Palestinian militias from southern Lebanon launched several attacks on Israeli border communities . All of the attempts to infiltrate Israel failed and in all clashes 23 militants were killed and 4 were captured . Most of the activity was focused on Katyusha rocket and anti-tank missile fire on Israeli border communities . In the attacks some civilians were injured , mostly lightly and damage was made to property . In 10 October , after Palestinian militants fired some 40 rockets on Israeli communities , Chief of Staff David Elazar and chief of the Northern Command , Yitzhak Hofi , requested to deploy a force which will cleanse Lebanese villages from Palestinian militants , but the request was declined by Defense Minister Moshe Dayan . Weapons The Arab armies ( with the exception of the Jordanians ) , were equipped with predominantly Soviet - made weapons while Israel 's armaments were mostly Western - made . The Arabs ' T - 54 / 55s and T - 62s were equipped with night vision equipment , which the Israeli tanks lacked , giving them an advantage in fighting at night , while Israel tanks had better armor and / or better armament . Israeli tanks also had a distinct advantage while on the ramps , in the `` hull - down '' position where steeper angles of depression resulted in less exposure . The main guns of Soviet tanks could only depress 4 degrees . By contrast , the 105 mm guns on Centurion and Patton tanks could depress 10 degrees . Type Arab armies IDF AFVs Egypt , Syria , Iraq and Jordan used T - 34 , T - 54 , T - 55 , T - 62 , PT - 76 and M48 Patton , as well as SU - 100 / 152 World War II vintage self - propelled guns .

Upon the outbreak of war , air raid sirens sounded throughout Israel . During the war , blackouts were enforced in major cities . The Egyptian government began to evacuate foreign tourists , and on October 11 , 1973 , the Egyptian ship Syria left Alexandria to Piraeus with a load of tourists wishing to exit Egypt . The U.S. Interest Section in Cairo also requested U.S. government assistance in removing U.S. tourists to Greece . On October 12 , Kissinger ordered the U.S. Interest Section in Cairo to speed up preparations for the departure of U.S. tourists staying in Egypt , while notifying such actions to the IDF in order to avoid accidental military operations against them . Casualties See also : Israeli casualties of war Israel suffered between 2,521 and 2,800 killed in action . An additional 7,250 to 8,800 soldiers were wounded . Some 293 Israelis were captured . Approximately 400 Israeli tanks were destroyed . Another 600 were disabled but returned to service after repairs . A major Israeli advantage , noted by many observers , was their ability to quickly return damaged tanks to combat . The Israeli Air Force lost 102 airplanes : 32 F - 4s , 53 A-4s , 11 Mirages and 6 Super Mysteres . Two helicopters , a Bell 205 and a CH - 53 , were also lost . According to Defense Minister Moshe Dayan , nearly half of these were shot down during the first three days of the war . IAF losses per combat sortie were less than in the preceding Six Day War of 1967 . An Israeli Air Force Mirage IIIC . Flag markings on the nose credit this particular aircraft with 13 aerial kills . Downed Israeli Mirage Arab casualties were known to be much higher than Israel 's , though precise figures are difficult to ascertain as Egypt and Syria never disclosed official figures . The lowest casualty estimate is 8,000 ( 5,000 Egyptian and 3,000 Syrian ) killed and 18,000 wounded . The highest estimate is 18,500 ( 15,000 Egyptian and 3,500 Syrian ) killed . Most estimates lie somewhere in between the two , with the Insight Team of the London The Sunday Times combined Egyptian and Syrian losses of 16,000 killed . and yet another source citing a figure of some 15,000 dead and 35,000 wounded . U.S. estimates placed Egyptian casualties at 13,000 . Iraq lost 278 killed and 898 wounded , while Jordan suffered 23 killed and 77 wounded . Some 8,372 Egyptians , 392 Syrians , 13 Iraqis and 6 Moroccans were taken prisoner . Arab tank losses amounted to 2,250 though Garwych cites a figure of 2,300. 400 of these fell into Israeli hands in good working order and were incorporated into Israeli service . Between 341 and 514 Arab aircraft were shot down . According to Herzog , 334 of these aircraft were shot down by the Israeli Air Force in air - to - air combat for the loss of only five Israeli planes . The Sunday Times Insight Team notes Arab aircraft losses of 450 . 19 Arab naval vessels , including 10 missile boats , were sunk for no Israeli losses . Post-ceasefire Kissinger pushes for peace Play media 1974 news report about warfare on the Golan prior to the May disengagement accords On October 24 , the UNSC passed Resolution 339 , serving as a renewed call for all parties to adhere to the ceasefire terms established in Resolution 338 . Most heavy fighting on the Egyptian front ended by October 26 , but clashes along the ceasefire lines and a few airstrikes on the Third Army took place . With some Israeli advances taking place , Kissinger threatened to support a UN withdrawal resolution , but before Israel could respond , Egyptian national security advisor Hafez Ismail sent Kissinger a stunning message -- Egypt was willing to enter into direct talks with Israel , provided that it agree to allow non-military supplies to reach the Third Army and to a complete ceasefire . About noon on October 25 , Kissinger appeared before the press at the State Department . He described the various stages of the crisis and the evolution of U.S. policy . He reviewed the first two weeks of the crisis and the nuclear alert , reiterated opposition to U.S. and Soviet troops in the area and more strongly opposed unilateral Soviet moves . He then reviewed the prospects for a peace agreement , which he termed `` quite promising '' , and had conciliatory words for Israel , Egypt and even the USSR . Kissinger concluded his remarks by spelling out the principles of a new U.S. policy toward the Arab -- Israeli conflict saying : Our position is that ... the conditions that produced this war were clearly intolerable to the Arab nations and that in the process of negotiations it will be necessary to make substantial concessions . The problem will be to relate the Arab concern for the sovereignty over the territories to the Israeli concern for secure boundaries . We believe that the process of negotiations between the parties is an essential component of this . Quandt considers , `` It was a brilliant performance , one of his most impressive . '' One hour later the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 340 . This time the ceasefire held , and the fourth Arab -- Israeli war was over . Disengagement agreement Main article : Agreement on Disengagement between Israel and Syria UN Emergency Forces at Kilometre 101 Disengagement talks took place on October 28 , 1973 , at `` Kilometre 101 '' between Israeli Major General Aharon Yariv and Egyptian Major General Abdel Ghani el - Gamasy . Ultimately , Kissinger took the proposal to Sadat , who agreed . United Nations checkpoints were brought in to replace Israeli ones , nonmilitary supplies were allowed to pass , and prisoners - of - war were to be exchanged . A summit conference in Geneva followed in December 1973 . All parties to the war -- Israel , Syria , Jordan and Egypt -- were invited to a joint effort by the Soviet Union and the United States to finally usher peace between the Arabs and Israelis . This conference was recognized by UN Security Council Resolution 344 and was based on the Resolution 338 , calling for a `` just and durable peace '' . Nevertheless , the conference was forced to adjourn on January 9 , 1974 , as Syria refused attendance . After the failed conference Henry Kissinger started conducting shuttle diplomacy , meeting with Israel and the Arab states directly . The first concrete result of this was the initial military disengagement agreement , signed by Israel and Egypt on January 18 , 1974 . The agreement commonly known as Sinai I had the official name of Sinai Separation of Forces Agreement . Under its terms , Israel agreed to pull back its forces from the areas West of Suez Canal , which it had occupied since the end of hostilities . Moreover , Israeli forces were also pulled back on the length of the whole front to create security zones for Egypt , UN and Israel , each roughly ten kilometres wide . Thus Israel gave up its advances reaching beyond the Suez canal , but it still held nearly all of Sinai . It became the first of many such Land for Peace agreements where Israel gave up territory in exchange for treaties . On the Syrian front , skirmishes and artillery exchanges continued taking place . Shuttle diplomacy by Henry Kissinger eventually produced a disengagement agreement on May 31 , 1974 , based on exchange of prisoners - of - war , Israeli withdrawal to the Purple Line and the establishment of a UN buffer zone . The agreement ended the skirmishes and exchanges of artillery fire that had occurred frequently along the Israeli - Syrian ceasefire line . The UN Disengagement and Observer Force ( UNDOF ) was established as a peacekeeping force in the Golan . The peace discussion at the end of the war was the first time that Arab and Israeli officials met for direct public discussions since the aftermath of the 1948 war . Response in Israel Though the war reinforced Israel 's military deterrence , it had a stunning effect on the population in Israel . Following their victory in the Six - Day War , the Israeli military had become complacent . The shock and sudden reversals that occurred at the beginning of the war inflicted a terrible psychological blow to the Israelis , who had hitherto experienced no serious military challenges . A protest against the Israeli government started four months after the war ended . It was led by Motti Ashkenazi , commander of Budapest , the northernmost of the Bar - Lev forts and the only one during the war not to be captured by the Egyptians . Anger against the Israeli government ( and Dayan in particular ) was high . Shimon Agranat , President of the Israeli Supreme Court , was asked to lead an inquiry , the Agranat Commission , into the events leading up to the war and the setbacks of the first few days . The Agranat Commission published its preliminary findings on April 2 , 1974 . Six people were held particularly responsible for Israel 's failings : Though his performance and conduct during the war was lauded , IDF Chief of Staff David Elazar was recommended for dismissal after the Commission found he bore `` personal responsibility for the assessment of the situation and the preparedness of the IDF '' . Aman Chief , Aluf Eli Zeira , and his deputy , head of Research , Brigadier - General Aryeh Shalev , were recommended for dismissal . Lt. Colonel Bandman , head of the Aman desk for Egypt , and Lt. Colonel Gedelia , chief of intelligence for the Southern Command , were recommended for transfer away from intelligence duties . Shmuel Gonen , commander of the Southern front , was recommended by the initial report to be relieved of active duty . He was forced to leave the army after the publication of the Commission 's final report , on January 30 , 1975 , which found that `` he failed to fulfill his duties adequately , and bears much of the responsibility for the dangerous situation in which our troops were caught . '' Rather than quieting public discontent , the report -- which `` had stressed that it was judging the ministers ' responsibility for security failings , not their parliamentary responsibility , which fell outside its mandate '' -- inflamed it . Although it had absolved Meir and Dayan of all responsibility , public calls for their resignations ( especially Dayan 's ) intensified . In the December 1973 legislative election , Meir 's Alignment party lost five Knesset seats . On April 11 , 1974 , Golda Meir resigned . Her cabinet followed suit , including Dayan , who had previously offered to resign twice and was turned down both times by Meir . A new government was seated in June , and Yitzhak Rabin , who had spent most of the war as an advisor to Elazar in an unofficial capacity , became Prime Minister . In 1999 , the issue was revisited by the Israeli political leadership to prevent similar shortcomings from being repeated . The Israeli National Security Council was created to improve coordination between the different security and intelligence bodies , and the political branch of government . Response in Egypt For the Arab states ( and Egypt in particular ) , Arab successes during the war healed the psychological trauma of their defeat in the Six - Day War , allowing them to negotiate with the Israelis as equals . Because of the later setbacks in the war ( which saw Israel gain a large salient on African soil and even more territory on the Syrian front ) , some believe that the war helped convince many in the Arab world that Israel could not be defeated militarily , thereby strengthening peace movements and delaying the Arab ambition of destroying Israel by force . General Shazly had angered Sadat for advocating the withdrawal of Egyptian forces from Sinai to meet the Israeli incursion on the West Bank of the Canal . Six weeks after the war , he was relieved of command and forced out of the army , ultimately going into political exile for years . Upon his return to Egypt , he was placed under house arrest . Following his release , he advocated the formation of a `` Supreme High Committee '' modeled after Israel 's Agranat Commission in order to `` probe , examine and analyze '' the performance of Egyptian forces and the command decisions made during the war , but his requests were completely ignored . He published a book , banned in Egypt , that described Egypt 's military failings and the sharp disagreements he had with Ismail and Sadat in connection with the prosecution of the war . The commanders of the Second and Third Armies , Generals Khalil and Wasel , were also dismissed from the army . The commander of the Egyptian Second Army at the start of the war , General Mamoun , suffered a heart attack , or , alternatively , a breakdown , after the Egyptian defeat during the October 14 Sinai tank battle , and was replaced by General Khalil . Response in Syria In Syria , Colonel Rafik Halawi , the Druze commander of an infantry brigade that had collapsed during the Israeli breakthrough , was executed before the war even ended . He was given a quick hearing and sentenced to death ; his execution was immediate . Military historian Zeev Schiff referred to him as Syria 's `` sacrificial lamb '' . The Syrians however offered vehement denials that Halawi was executed and expended great efforts trying to debunk the allegation . They claimed he was killed in battle with Israel and threatened severe punishment to anyone repeating the allegation of execution . Their concern stemmed from a desire to maintain Syrian Druze loyalty to Assad 's regime and prevent Syrian Druze from siding with their co-religionists in Israel . On July 7 , 1974 , Halawi 's remains were removed from a Syrian military hospital and he was interred in Damascus at the `` Cemetery of the Martyrs of the October War '' in the presence of many Syrian dignitaries . One analyst noted that the presence of so many high - level officials was unusual and attributed it to Syrian efforts to quell any suggestion of execution . Response in the Soviet Union According to Chernyaev , on 4 Nov 1973 , the Soviet leader Brezhnev said : We have offered them ( the Arabs ) a sensible way for so many years . But no , they wanted to fight . Fine ! We gave them technology , the latest , the kind even Vietnam did n't have . They had double superiority in tanks and aircraft , triple in artillery , and in air defense and anti-tank weapons they had absolute supremacy . And what ? Once again they were beaten . Once again they scrammed ( sic ) . Once again they screamed for us to come save them . Sadat woke me up in the middle of the night twice over the phone , `` Save me ! '' He demanded to send Soviet troops , and immediately ! No ! We are not going to fight for them . Oil embargo In response to U.S. support of Israel , the Arab members of OPEC , led by Saudi Arabia , decided to reduce oil production by 5 % per month on October 17 . On October 19 , President Nixon authorized a major allocation of arms supplies and $2.2 billion in appropriations for Israel . In response , Saudi Arabia declared an embargo against the United States , later joined by other oil exporters and extended against the Netherlands and other states , causing the 1973 energy crisis . Long - term Effects Egyptian -- Israeli disengagement agreement Main article : Sinai Interim Agreement Another Egyptian -- Israeli disengagement agreement , the Sinai Interim Agreement , was signed in Geneva on September 4 , 1975 , and was commonly known as Sinai II . This agreement led Israel to withdraw from another 20 -- 40 km with UN forces buffering the vacated area . After the agreement , Israel still held more than two thirds of Sinai , which would prove to be a valuable bargaining chip in the coming negotiations . Egyptian -- Israeli Camp David Accords Main article : Camp David Accords The Yom Kippur War upset the status quo in the Middle East , and the war served as a direct antecedent of the 1978 Camp David Accords . The Accords resulted in the Egypt -- Israel Peace Treaty , the first ever between Israel and an Arab state . According to George Friedman , the war gave the Israelis increased respect for the Egyptian military and decreased their confidence in their own , and caused the Israelis to be uncertain whether they could defeat Egypt in the event of another war . At the same time , the Egyptians recognized that despite their improvements , they were defeated in the end , and became doubtful that they could ever defeat Israel militarily . Therefore , a negotiated settlement made sense to both sides . Rabin 's government was hamstrung by a pair of scandals , and he was forced to step down in 1977 . In the elections that followed , the right - wing Likud party won a majority in the Knesset , and Menachem Begin , the party 's founder and leader , was appointed Prime Minister . This marked a historic change in the Israeli political landscape : for the first time since Israel 's founding , a coalition not led by the Labor Party was in control of the government . Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin acknowledge applause during a joint session of Congress in Washington , D.C. , during which President Jimmy Carter announced the results of the Camp David Accords , September 18 , 1978 . Sadat , who had entered the war in order to recover the Sinai from Israel , grew frustrated at the slow pace of the peace process . In a 1977 interview with CBS News anchorman Walter Cronkite , Sadat admitted under pointed questioning that he was open to a more constructive dialog for peace , including a state visit . This seemed to open the floodgates , as in a later interview with the same reporter , the normally hard - line Begin -- perhaps not wishing to be compared unfavorably to Sadat -- said he too would be amenable to better relations . On November 9 , 1977 , Sadat stunned the world when he told parliament that he would be willing to visit Israel and address the Knesset . Shortly afterward , the Israeli government cordially invited him to address the Knesset . Thus , in November of that year , Sadat took the unprecedented step of visiting Israel , becoming the first Arab leader to do so , and so implicitly recognized Israel . The act jump - started the peace process . United States President Jimmy Carter invited both Sadat and Begin to a summit at Camp David to negotiate a final peace . The talks took place from September 5 -- 17 , 1978 . Ultimately , the talks succeeded , and Israel and Egypt signed the Israel - Egypt Peace Treaty in 1979 . Israel subsequently withdrew its troops and settlers in the Sinai , in exchange for normal relations with Egypt and a lasting peace , with last Israeli troops exiting on April 26 , 1982 . There is still no formal peace agreement between Israel and Syria to this day . Many in the Arab world were outraged at Egypt 's peace with Israel . Sadat , in particular , became deeply unpopular both in the Arab world and in his own country . Egypt was suspended from the Arab League until 1989 . Until then , Egypt had been `` at the helm of the Arab world '' . Egypt 's tensions with its Arab neighbors culminated in 1977 in the short - lived Libyan -- Egyptian War . Sadat was assassinated two years later on October 6 , 1981 , while attending a parade marking the eighth anniversary of the start of the war , by Islamist army members who were outraged at his negotiations with Israel . Commemorations A destroyed Syrian T - 62 stands as part of an Israeli memorial commemorating the battle of the ' Valley of Tears ' , Northern Golan Heights . October 6 is a national holiday in Egypt called Armed Forces Day . It is a national holiday in Syria as well , where it is called `` Tishreen Liberation Day '' . Marking the 35th anniversary in 2008 , Hosni Mubarak said that the conflict `` breathed new life '' into Egypt . He said Egypt and Syria 's initial victories in the conflict eased Arab bitterness over Israel 's victory in the 1967 Six - Day War and ultimately put the two nations on a path of peaceful coexistence . In Egypt , many places were named after the date of October 6th and Ramadan 10th , which is the equivalent day in the Islamic calendar . Examples of these commemorations are 6th October Bridge in Cairo and the cities of 6th of October and 10th of Ramadan . In addition , `` Museum of October 6 War '' was built in 1989 in the Heliopolis district of Cairo . The center of the museum is occupied by a rotunda housing a panoramic painting of the struggle between Egyptian and Israeli armed forces . The panorama , the creation of which was outsourced to a group of North Korean artists and architects , is equipped with engines to rotate it 360 ° during a 30 - minutes presentation accompanied by commentary in various languages . A similar museum , which was also built with North Korean assistance -- the October War Panorama -- operates in Damascus . In Latrun , a Yom Kippur War exhibit can be found at The Armored Corps Museum at Yad La - Shiryon .

But was there on 19 June 1967 an Israeli peace overture towards Syria and Egypt ? Did the Israeli cabinet end its deliberations on that day with a decision to convey concrete peace proposals to its Arab neighbors along the lines as discussed in the Cabinet , or perhaps ask the American administration to do so on its behalf ? Notwithstanding Abba Eban 's ( Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs in 1967 ) insistence that this was indeed the case , there seems to be no solid evidence to corroborate his claim . No formal peace proposal was made either directly or indirectly by Israel . The Americans , who were briefed of the Cabinet 's decision by Eban , were not asked to convey it to Cairo and Damascus as official peace proposals , nor were they given indications that Israel expected a reply . At the meeting of 19 June the Israeli government developed policy guidelines ; it did not discuss a peace initiative , nor did it ever formalise it as such . Jump up ^ Seth S.

who helped bring an end to the yom kippur war using shuttle diplomacy
[ "After the failed conference Henry Kissinger started conducting shuttle diplomacy, meeting with Israel and the Arab states directly. The first concrete result of this was the initial military disengagement agreement, signed by Israel and Egypt on January 18, 1974. The agreement commonly known as Sinai I had the official name of Sinai Separation of Forces Agreement. Under its terms, Israel agreed to pull back its forces from the areas West of Suez Canal, which it had occupied since the end of hostilities. Moreover, Israeli forces were also pulled back on the length of the whole front to create security zones for Egypt, UN and Israel, each roughly ten kilometres wide. Thus Israel gave up its advances reaching beyond the Suez canal, but it still held nearly all of Sinai. It became the first of many such Land for Peace agreements where Israel gave up territory in exchange for treaties.[363]" ]

Albus Dumbledore
Albus Dumbledore - wikipedia Albus Dumbledore Albus Dumbledore Harry Potter character Dumbledore as portrayed by Michael Gambon in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire First appearance Harry Potter and the Philosopher 's Stone Last appearance Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Created by J.K. Rowling Portrayed by Richard Harris ( adult , films 1 & 2 ) Michael Gambon ( adult , films 3 -- 8 ) Jude Law ( adult , Fantastic Beasts : The Crimes of Grindelwald ) Toby Regbo ( youth , film 7 ) House Gryffindor Information Species Wizard Professor Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore is a fictional character in J.K. Rowling 's Harry Potter series . For most of the series , he is the headmaster of the wizarding school Hogwarts . As part of his backstory , it is revealed that he is the founder and leader of the Order of the Phoenix , an organisation dedicated to fighting Lord Voldemort . Dumbledore is portrayed by Richard Harris in the film adaptations of Harry Potter and the Philosopher 's Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets . After Harris ' death , Michael Gambon portrayed Dumbledore for all of the remaining Harry Potter films . Jude Law will portray Dumbledore in Fantastic Beasts : The Crimes of Grindelwald . Rowling stated she chose the name Dumbledore , which is a dialectal word for `` bumblebee '' , because of Dumbledore 's love of music : she imagined him walking around `` humming to himself a lot '' .

'' Rowling said that Dumbledore speaks for her , as he `` knows pretty much everything '' about the Harry Potter universe . Rowling mentioned that Dumbledore regrets `` that he has always had to be the one who knew , and who had the burden of knowing . And he would rather not know . '' As a mentor to the central character Harry Potter , `` Dumbledore is a very wise man who knows that Harry is going to have to learn a few hard lessons to prepare him for what may be coming in his life . He allows Harry to get into what he would n't allow another pupil to do , and he also unwillingly permits Harry to confront things he 'd rather protect him from . '' In a 1999 interview , Rowling stated that she imagined Dumbledore `` more as a John Gielgud type , you know , quite elderly and -- and quite stately . '' During his time as a student , Dumbledore was in Gryffindor House . Rowling said in an interview that Dumbledore was about 150 years old . However , on her website , she states that Dumbledore was born in 1881 , making him either 115 or 116 when he died . On 19 October 2007 , Rowling was asked by a young fan whether Dumbledore finds `` true love . '' Rowling said that she always thought of Dumbledore as being homosexual and that he had fallen in love with Gellert Grindelwald , which was Dumbledore 's `` great tragedy '' ; Rowling did not explicitly state whether Grindelwald returned his affections . Rowling explains this further by elaborating on the motivations behind Dumbledore 's flirtation with the idea of wizard domination of Muggles : `` He lost his moral compass completely when he fell in love and I think subsequently became very mistrustful of his own judgement in those matters so became quite asexual . He led a celibate and a bookish life . '' Appearances This section needs additional citations for verification . Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources .

( March 2018 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Harry Potter and the Philosopher 's Stone In the opening chapter of the first novel of the series , Dumbledore arrives at number four , Privet Drive in Little Whinging , Surrey . When the evil wizard Lord Voldemort kills Harry 's parents before being reduced to a lesser form , Dumbledore decides to place the now - orphaned Harry in the home of Vernon and Petunia Dursley . He knows that Harry will be protected by the special magic caused by his mother 's sacrifice , after he evokes the magic of the bond of blood and Harry 's aunt , his mother 's sister - Petunia Evans Dursley , sealed it by accepting her nephew into her home . This old magic of binding love renders Voldemort incapable of touching Harry . Dumbledore leaves Harry upon the doorstep of the Dursley home with a letter explaining the situation . He departs with the final phrase , `` Good luck , Harry . '' When Harry arrives at Hogwarts , Dumbledore tells him about the secrets of the Mirror of Erised , claiming that when he looks into it , he sees himself `` holding a pair of thick , woollen socks . '' Harry later recalls in the final book that this was probably the only dishonest answer Dumbledore ever gave him . He is also responsible for somehow enchanting the Mirror so that it hides the Philosopher 's Stone and only someone who looked into the Mirror and whose desire was `` to find the Stone ... but not use it '' would receive it , as anybody else would only see themselves using the Stone due to the Mirror 's special magic . He is called out to the Ministry of Magic by a false message on the night when Professor Quirinus Quirrell , Harry Potter , Ron Weasley , and Hermione Granger enter the dungeons to retrieve the Stone , but realises during the trip that he is needed at Hogwarts and returns in time to rescue Harry from Quirrell and Voldemort . He also has a final conversation with Harry after the events down in the dungeons and tells him that he is too young to comprehend the information about why Voldemort attempts to kill him . Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets In the second novel , Dumbledore suspects that Tom Riddle is somehow involved in the attacks on the muggle born students , as he says , when asked who is the culprit , `` not who , but how ? '' A younger Dumbledore appears in Riddle 's diary , when Harry sees his memory , and asks Riddle if he knows anything about the attacks on the students . During the last half of the novel , Lucius Malfoy forces the school 's other eleven governors to suspend Dumbledore as Headmaster in the wake of attacks by a basilisk in the school when the Chamber of Secrets is opened . Dumbledore is reinstated when the governors discover that Ginny Weasley was taken into the Chamber of Secrets and Lucius is found to have coerced the other governors into suspending him . Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban At the beginning of the third novel , Dumbledore is forced to accept Dementors onto his school 's grounds for the protection of his students from Sirius Black , the supposed murderer and accessory to murder , who had escaped from Azkaban . After Black 's breach into Hogwarts , Dumbledore issues orders to close every entrance to the school and grounds . After Harry falls off his broomstick during a Quidditch match because of the Dementors , Dumbledore becomes uncharacteristically angry with them and uses his wand to cause Harry to levitate safely to the ground . Later in that book , Dumbledore suggests Hermione Granger use her Ministry - approved Time - Turner to go back three hours to save Buckbeak the hippogriff and Sirius from their unjust executions . Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire In the fourth novel , Dumbledore introduces the Triwizard Tournament . He also serves as a judge during the entire event . When Harry 's name comes out of the Goblet of Fire , Dumbledore is not enraged , but remains calm ; simply asking Harry whether he had himself , or had asked an older student to submit his name ( although in the film version he does get angry to the point of manhandling Harry ) . When Harry answers no , he believes him . By the end of the book , Dumbledore 's fears are realised when Harry returns from his encounter with Voldemort clutching the dead body of Cedric Diggory and when Mad - Eye Moody ( being impersonated by Barty Crouch Jr , through Polyjuice Potion ) takes Harry away from Dumbledore and to his office inside the castle . Dumbledore immediately becomes suspicious and heads straight towards Moody 's office with Minerva McGonagall and Severus Snape to save Harry and to interrogate Crouch . Afterwards , Dumbledore listens to Harry 's eyewitness account about Voldemort 's return . Harry though , only wakes up later to find Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge in the hospital wing arguing with McGonagall and Dumbledore . In the end , Fudge and Dumbledore `` part ways '' after an argument about the situation of Voldemort 's return and the consequences that would follow should Fudge remain in denial of this fact . Harry Potter and the Order of the phoenix In the fifth book , Dumbledore is demoted from Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot , voted out of the Chairmanship of the International Confederation of Wizards , and is almost stripped of his Order of Merlin First Class due to his speeches regarding the return of Voldemort , although it is reported that he is unconcerned as long as he is not taken off the Chocolate Frog cards . Meanwhile , the Ministry of Magic does everything they can to discredit him and Harry -- mainly through the Daily Prophet . At the beginning of the book , Dumbledore enrages Fudge when he stops by at Harry 's hearing with a witness ( Arabella Figg ) to ensure that he is not expelled . While Harry feels better when Dumbledore assists him , he becomes annoyed to the point of being angry that the headmaster refuses to speak to or even look at him . During the following year at Hogwarts , the Ministry passes Educational Decree Twenty - two , allowing Fudge to place Dolores Umbridge to the post of Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher ( after Dumbledore failed to find a suitable candidate ) . Through her , Fudge gradually gains power over Hogwarts and Dumbledore , who he fears is building an under - age wizard army to overthrow the Ministry . Umbridge forbids practical defence practice in her classes , forcing Harry , Ron , and Hermione to form Dumbledore 's Army ( a defence group led by Harry ) with fellow friends . It is when the Ministry discovers the D.A. that Dumbledore , choosing to accept the responsibility , falsely claims that the organisation was his own subversive creation , and allows himself to be removed as headmaster ( for the second time ) rather than allow Harry to be expelled . Dumbledore is not heard of again in the book until he arrives in the Department of Mysteries to aid the Order in the battle against the Death Eaters . He subdues all the Death Eaters , except for Bellatrix Lestrange , and binds them with an Anti-Disapparition Jinx to prevent them from magically escaping . He then saves Harry from the Avada Kedavra curse conjured by Voldemort and engages in a ferocious duel with the Dark Lord . This culminates in Voldemort 's attempting to possess Harry in an attempt to make Dumbledore kill the boy . Voldemort is forced to leave Harry 's body and flee with Bellatrix after this ruse fails . Many ministry officials having witnessed the end of the battle , Dumbledore is reinstated as headmaster and retrieves all his distinctions . Towards the end of the book , Dumbledore explains to Harry that Voldemort chose him as his equal and that one must kill the other in the end , and confesses that his great affection for Harry has clouded his judgement . Harry Potter and the Half - Blood Prince In the sixth book , Dumbledore fetches Harry from Privet Drive and takes him to persuade Horace Slughorn to rejoin the Hogwarts staff . Harry notices that Dumbledore 's right hand is shrivelled and black . During the school year , Dumbledore teaches Harry of events in Voldemort 's past that he feels are of immense importance . Using the Pensieve , they visit the memories of others , which contain important information about Voldemort 's life and his genocidal rise to power . While using the pensieve , Harry sees a vision of Dumbledore 's first encounter with Voldemort , then a disturbed young orphan named Tom Riddle ; Dumbledore had known from the beginning that the boy was dangerous , but believed that Hogwarts would change him . It is learned that Voldemort created six Horcruxes to gain immortality and that they must all be destroyed before Harry goes after the final piece of Voldemort 's soul in the Dark Lord 's body . Harry also repeatedly warns Dumbledore in most of their lessons that Draco Malfoy is working for Voldemort . Dumbledore refuses to take any action against Draco , and instead tells Harry that he already knows more about what is happening than Harry does . By the end of the book , Dumbledore and Harry set out to the cave where Dumbledore believes a Horcrux resides . In the cave , Dumbledore drinks a potion inside the Horcrux 's container ; while drinking it , he begins to scream , seemingly enduring mental torture and being weakened . Dumbledore begins to call out for water after he finishes the potion , and Harry , realising he has no other choice , dips the goblet into the lake to give him a drink . When he does this though , all the Inferi that reside in the lake grab at Harry and attempt to drag him down and drown him in the lake . Dumbledore suddenly recovers , thanks to the water , and conjures a fire lasso around them . Dumbledore takes the horcrux ( a locket ) and both make their way back out of the cave and back to Hogsmeade . When they return , Madam Rosmerta informs them that the Dark Mark was conjured over the Astronomy Tower . In the tower , Dumbledore enjoins Harry not to interfere in the events that are about to take place there , and places him in a body - binding curse under his invisibility cloak . Hidden , Harry is unable to intervene as Dumbledore ( now extremely weak ) is disarmed by Draco . Dumbledore is conversing with Draco about the plot to kill him , when several other Death Eaters enter the tower and try to persuade Draco to kill Dumbledore . When Draco hesitates , Snape appears and performs the Killing Curse on Dumbledore , only after Dumbledore pleads with Snape saying , `` Severus , please ... '' . To what Dumbledore was referring is not revealed until the seventh book . Dumbledore dies in Hogwarts ' grounds . Shortly after his death , Dumbledore 's portrait magically appears in the Headmaster 's office . His funeral is attended by students , Hogwarts staff , members of the Ministry of Magic , ghosts , centaurs , merpeople and others who wish to pay their respects . Shrouded in purple velvet , he is entombed in a white marble sarcophagus beside the lake at Hogwarts , and it is said that he is the only headmaster to be buried on the school grounds . Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Rowling used several chapters in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows to reveal two main matters concerning Dumbledore : his early life and his death . The book introduces his parents , Percival and Kendra Dumbledore , as well as his little sister , Ariana ; his brother , Aberforth Dumbledore , was mentioned in previous books . At six years old , Ariana was attacked by three Muggle boys who had witnessed her doing magic . Because of this attack , Ariana was seriously traumatised and never able to control her magic again , having recurring outbursts of magic . Enraged , Percival mercilessly attacked the Muggle boys ( killing them in the film version ) , and was sentenced to life in Azkaban . After this , Kendra moved her family to the village of Godric 's Hollow . In one of her outbursts , Ariana accidentally kills Kendra around the time Albus has completed his education . Albus becomes the head of the family and is forced to remain in his house with his sister Ariana while Aberforth completes his education . The Elder Wand , as reproduced in Harry Potter Warner Bros. films Soon afterward , a young Gellert Grindelwald arrived in Godric 's Hollow to live with his great - aunt , Bathilda Bagshot , author of A History of Magic . The two young men took to each other immediately , and together they dreamed of a world ruled by wizards over Muggles by uniting the legendary Deathly Hallows . They believed that if they were forced to destroy a few along the way , it would still be `` for the greater good '' , and the sufferings and losses would be rewarded a hundredfold in the end . This scenario would never happen , though . A discussion between Albus , Aberforth , and Grindelwald led to a duel that resulted in Ariana 's death . For the rest of his life , Albus felt guilty , never certain whether it was his own curse or another 's that had killed his sister . Grindelwald stormed back to Bagshot 's home and departed to begin his own rule , leaving the country hours later . As a result of his mistakes , Albus felt that he was not to be trusted with power and , because of this , never took the position of Minister for Magic , despite being offered it several times . Dumbledore returned to Hogwarts as professor of Transfiguration , and he served in recruiting students for the school . Decades later , in 1945 , Dumbledore finally defeated the now - Dark wizard Grindelwald , who had come to possess the Elder Wand . Grindelwald 's defeat made Dumbledore the master of the Elder Wand , which remained his until just before his death , when Draco used the Disarming Charm on him . Dumbledore had another Hallow in his keeping since the death of James Potter : the Invisibility Cloak , which he had borrowed to examine . When James died , Dumbledore kept the cloak and decided to pass it on to Harry , James 's son . The truth about Dumbledore 's death is revealed through Snape 's last memories in the Pensieve . Harry learns that Dumbledore made a terrible error by placing a cursed ring on his right hand , sometime between the fifth and sixth book , forgetting the curses that must be on the ring . The ring held the Resurrection Stone , which Dumbledore hoped to use to allow him to apologise to his sister and parents . Dumbledore called Snape to help him ; however , when Snape arrived and assessed the curse , all he could do was contain it . Snape told Dumbledore that he had little more than a year to live . After hearing this news , Dumbledore revealed to Snape that he knew about Voldemort 's plan to have Draco kill him . He asked Snape to use the Killing Curse on him when the time came because he did not want Draco to have to kill him , saying that the boy 's soul was still intact ; Draco 's soul would have been damaged in killing Dumbledore out of malice , whereas Snape was fully aware that he would be merely sparing Dumbledore pain and humiliation . He also intended for Snape to be the one to kill him and for the Elder Wand to be buried with him , in order to prevent the wand from being passed on again . Dumbledore 's spirit appears to Harry towards the end of the book in a limbo - like King 's Cross , after Harry is struck with the Killing Curse which was conjured by Voldemort . During the last book , Harry finds out that he must die because he is a Horcrux . When Voldemort conjures the Killing Curse , Harry does not fight back , which stops him from dying . When they meet again , the boy comforts Dumbledore as he confesses all of his many regrets . Dumbledore then informs Harry of the choice he still has : of moving on to the next life or returning to his body to face Voldemort one last time . After returning from the mystical King 's Cross and defeating Voldemort for good , Harry has a short conversation with Dumbledore 's portrait in the Headmaster 's office about the fate of each of the three Deathly Hallows . He keeps the Cloak , leaves the Stone in the Forbidden Forest where he dropped it , and returns the Elder Wand to Dumbledore 's tomb ( from which Voldemort had stolen it ) . In the epilogue , it is revealed that Harry names his second son Albus Severus Potter after Dumbledore and Snape . Portrayals within films Dumbledore as portrayed in film . Clockwise from upper left : Richard Harris , Michael Gambon and Jude Law . In the film adaptations of Philosopher 's Stone ( 2001 ) and Chamber of Secrets ( 2002 ) , Dumbledore was played by Richard Harris , who was expected to play the character throughout the series . Harris mentioned that he was originally not going to take the role , since he knew his own health was in decline . He accepted because his then - 11 - year - old granddaughter threatened never to speak to him again if he did not take it . Harris was determined to portray Dumbledore again in Prisoner of Azkaban ( 2004 ) , despite having been diagnosed with Hodgkin 's lymphoma , and asked David Heyman not to recast the role . However , his death on 25 October 2002 necessitated recasting . Ian McKellen was offered the role , but he turned it down , having played the similar character Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings trilogy , as well as feeling it would have been inappropriate to take Harris 's role , as Harris had called McKellen a `` dreadful '' actor . Harris 's family had expressed an interest in seeing Peter O'Toole being chosen as his replacement . Michael Gambon was cast as Harris 's replacement four months after Harris 's death . Gambon was not concerned about bettering Harris , and he portrayed the character in his own way , putting on a slight Irish accent for the role , as well as completing his scenes in three weeks . Gambon reprised his role in all the remaining films . Toby Regbo was chosen to portray Dumbledore in his youth in Deathly Hallows Part 1 and Part 2 , for flashbacks scenes which provide essential information on the character 's backstory . Jude Law will be playing the role of a younger Dumbledore in the second prequel film , Fantastic Beasts : The Crimes of Grindelwald . Characterisation This section needs additional citations for verification . Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( March 2018 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Appearance Albus Dumbledore is tall and thin , with silver hair and beard ( auburn in his youth ) so long that they can be tucked into his belt . He has a very long and crooked nose that looks as if it has been broken at least twice . ( It is speculated that his brother 's punch during their sister 's funeral may have played a role in shaping his nose . ) He is also said to have long and skillful fingers . His eyes are described as being a brilliant , soul - piercing shade of blue , and usually twinkled with kindness and mischief . Dumbledore wears half - moon spectacles and a colourful array of robes , ranging from purple to bright orange . He once claimed to have a scar above his left knee in the precise shape of a map of the London Underground , but whether or not he actually does is unknown . His demeanour is often -- if not always -- serene and ethereal , and he usually speaks in a calm , pleasant voice even when Harry thought that he is actually furious . During the last year of his life , Dumbledore 's right hand is scarred when he dons Marvolo Gaunt 's Ring , which was cursed . Had Snape not intervened with a counter-curse , Dumbledore would have died much more quickly . Regardless , the curse left his hand blackened and dead - looking , and no amount of healing could repair the appearance . According to Snape , the curse would eventually spread itself from the contained hand , and Dumbledore was doomed to die in no more than one year 's time . Whether this means the blackening dead - look appearance would spread throughout the entire body is unknown . Personality Considered the most powerful wizard in the world , Dumbledore is benevolent and wise , a good wizard in the style of Merlin . He almost constantly gives off an aura of serenity and composure , rarely displaying intense emotions of anger or fear . Yet despite his benign nature , it is said that Dumbledore was the only wizard Lord Voldemort ever truly feared . Dumbledore is very eccentric and even slightly effeminate ; he is very fond of knitting patterns and frequently wears flamboyant clothing ( at one point , he is seen wearing a flowered bonnet ) . He is also known for his odd displays of whimsicality ; he often uses humour to make people feel comfortable in his presence . As a supremely talented wizard , Dumbledore displays numerous examples of extraordinary powers . His abilities as a wizard are combined with a kind of cunning and subtlety of mind that allowed him to comprehend human nature and turn the better aspects of humanity ( trust , love , and friendship ) to Voldemort 's disadvantage in particular . More than anything else , Dumbledore has a deep capacity for love , frequently reminding Harry that love was the greatest magic of all . Dumbledore believes in the good in everyone and insists on giving second chances . The greatest example of this is Dumbledore 's relationship with Snape , in whom Dumbledore is willing to place a considerable amount of faith because he showed remorse . Dumbledore is highly perceptive and emotionally intelligent ; his knowledge of a person 's true personality goes beyond simply being a good judge of character . This is never more apparent than in his complex insights into Voldemort 's psyche , which he pieces together with Harry to deduce where Voldemort 's horcruxes are hidden . Dumbledore 's appearance hides a more steely aspect : `` At that moment , Harry understood for the first time why people said Dumbledore was the only wizard Voldemort had ever feared . The look upon Dumbledore 's face was more terrible than Harry could have ever imagined . There was no benign smile upon Dumbledore 's face , no twinkle in the eyes . There was cold fury in every line of the ancient face ; a sense of power radiated from Dumbledore as though he were giving off burning heat '' . However , in spite of Dumbledore 's many extraordinary qualities , he was a flawed character . According to Rowling , `` Although Dumbledore seems to be so benign for six books , he 's quite a Machiavellian figure , really . He 's been pulling a lot of strings . '' In a 2005 interview , Rowling commented : `` Immense brainpower does not protect you from emotional mistakes , and I think Dumbledore really exemplifies that . '' Dumbledore 's greatest personality flaw , which he explained to Harry , was his desire for power . He eventually found that those best suited for power are those who do not seek it . When he and Grindelwald met each other , they made plans to enslave Muggles and re-establish wizards as the natural rulers of the world . However , Dumbledore was disillusioned of this fantasy after his sister Ariana was killed during a duel between himself , his brother Aberforth , and Grindelwald . Dumbledore was haunted by his sad family history . In particular , he was riddled with guilt over the circumstances surrounding the death of his sister . He felt enormous remorse for his selfishness and was tortured for the rest of his life by the possibility that he might have been the one who cast the spell that killed his sister . When he looked into the Mirror of Erised , he saw himself redeemed in the eyes of his brother and his entire family alive and together . Magical abilities and skills Since a young age , Dumbledore has always shown great magical abilities . During his education at Hogwarts , Dumbledore was known as the most brilliant student to have ever stepped into the school , winning `` every prize of note that the school offered '' , and in his N.E.W.T.s , `` ... did things with a wand ( the examiner had ) never seen before '' . Rowling has said that Dumbledore is primarily self - taught , although he `` had access to superb teachers at Hogwarts , '' and , as far as his education is concerned , `` Dumbledore 's family would be a profitable line of inquiry . '' While he is not vain , Dumbledore also exhibits no false modesty , readily acknowledging that he is unusually intelligent and an exceptionally powerful wizard . He admits a number of times to Harry in their occasional meetings in Half - Blood Prince that he makes mistakes , and since he is smarter than most men , his mistakes `` tend to be correspondingly huger . '' Dumbledore is an expert at nonverbal spells and is famous as an alchemist who has worked with Nicolas Flamel , the only known maker of the Philosopher 's Stone , and is credited with discovering the twelve uses of dragon 's blood . His Patronus takes the form of a phoenix , a recurring symbol in the books . His knowledge of the most powerful kind of magic , love , is extensive . He taught Harry about its very essence , and the innate power of his ability to love his parents , which eventually helped Harry realise his destiny to kill Lord Voldemort . He is known to be able to conjure Gubraithian fire ( magical everlasting fire ) . He has claimed to be able to become invisible without using an invisibility cloak , which is a powerful Disillusionment Charm . Dumbledore is also skilled in Occlumency and Legilimency . Dumbledore is an expert at Transfiguration too , having taught the subject before becoming headmaster . He frequently creates complex objects like sofa chairs out of thin air ( or from less comfortable chairs ) . Dumbledore is also proficient at Charms and Potions ; according to the obituary written by Elphias Doge , his papers were published in journals such as Achievements in Charming and The Practical Potioneer . Dumbledore is famous for defeating Grindelwald , who is second on a list of Most Dangerous Dark Wizards of All Time only to Voldemort himself , in a `` spectacular duel of legend '' , succeeding in doing so despite the fact that Grindelwald possessed the Elder Wand , which supposedly guarantees invincibility in duels due to its power . His skill at duelling is further shown when he calmly engages Voldemort in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix , overpowering him and eventually forcing him to possess Harry to be spared from total defeat . ( It is known in retrospect that Dumbledore possessed the Elder Wand when duelling Voldemort , having taken it from Grindelwald . ) Unlike most wizards who make a distinct popping sound when they apparate , Dumbledore notably is able to apparate silently ; the only other wizard shown to possess this skill is Voldemort . Dumbledore is known to be able to understand Mermish and Gobbledegook ( Goblin language ) and Parseltongue . Possessions Dumbledore 's office houses `` a number of curious ( ... ) instruments . '' Among them is a Pensieve , a stone receptacle used to store and review memories , which witches and wizards are able to extract from their heads as a type of fluid . Harry first discovers this device in Goblet of Fire , and it is frequently used for flashback scenes throughout the remainder of the series . In the first chapter of Philosopher 's Stone , Dumbledore is seen using the Deluminator , a device for removing and later returning light , and for use as a homing device . It is confirmed in Deathly Hallows when the object is inherited by Ron that the Deluminator is of Dumbledore 's own design . Dumbledore is the possessor and master of the Elder Wand , an extremely powerful object known also as the `` Wand of Destiny '' or the `` Deathstick '' , and one of the Deathly Hallows . Unlike many of the wand 's previous owners , Dumbledore keeps its identity a closely guarded secret . He also has a pet phoenix named Fawkes . It is revealed in Philosopher 's Stone by Mr. Ollivander that Harry 's wand carries a phoenix feather as its magical core and that particular phoenix only gave one other feather , the one in Voldemort 's wand that gave Harry his scar . It is later revealed in Goblet of Fire that Fawkes was the phoenix whose feathers provide the magical core in Harry 's and Voldemort 's wands . Family Through various interviews and discussions about the character , Rowling has established that Albus Dumbledore was born in July or August 1881 to Percival and Kendra Dumbledore . The character had previously referenced his brother Aberforth , and in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows , it is revealed that Albus is three years older than Aberforth . The same book established their sister Ariana who , at six years old , suffered a vicious attack by three male Muggle youths who had witnessed her doing magic . Frightened , they first tried to get her to repeat what they had seen , and upon her failure to recreate it due to her young age , they tried to stop her from being `` different '' . It is not explicitly stated in the novel what form this attack took , but Percival was sentenced to life in Azkaban for tracking down and hexing the boys who seriously traumatised his daughter . The severe trauma of the attack left Ariana unable to function socially or to properly perform magic again . To prevent her being institutionalised in St. Mungo 's Hospital , or hurting someone accidentally with her uncontrolled magic , Kendra moved the family to Godric 's Hollow , and her illness was concealed . Neighbours assumed that Ariana was a non-magical squib . When Dumbledore and his friend Elphias left Hogwarts , they planned to take their `` then - traditional '' tour of the world . On the eve of their trip , the eighteen - year - old Dumbledore suffered the death of his mother Kendra , who was accidentally killed by Ariana during one of her uncontrolled outbursts of magic . Because Dumbledore 's parents were absent ( his father in Azkaban and his mother dead ) , Albus became the head of the family and it became his duty to put food on the table , as they were not left with much gold . He was forced to remain in his house with his sister Ariana while Aberforth completed his education . Aberforth knew of his brother 's resentment and offered to care for Ariana himself , saying that she preferred him , but Albus refused by stating that it was his duty as eldest to care for the family . When Grindelwald arrived at Godric 's Hollow , he immediately became friends with Dumbledore and together dreamed of a new world order in which wizards ruled over Muggles `` for the greater good '' . Dumbledore and Grindelwald suggested that they had to move to carry on their plans , but Aberforth refused because Ariana 's state did not allow her to be moved . The discussion between Albus , Aberforth and Grindelwald turned into a duel that resulted in Ariana 's accidental death . According to the author , as a result of this incident , Albus 's boggart became Ariana 's corpse . In Philosopher 's Stone , he mentions to Harry that the deepest desire of his heart , revealed by the Mirror of Erised , is to have a pair of woollen socks . In the seventh novel , Harry realises that he and Dumbledore see the same thing in the Mirror : their reunited families . Reception The character of Albus Dumbledore has been compared to other archetypal `` wise old man '' characters . Dumbledore acts much like Merlin from The Sword in the Stone , in the manner of an `` absent - minded professor '' ; both Merlin and Dumbledore educate a story 's main character in a castle . As writer Evelyn Perry notes , `` Dumbledore resembles Merlin both personally and physically ; he is an avid lover of books and wisdom who wears flowing robes and a long , white beard . '' Dumbledore has also been compared with Gandalf from Tolkien 's Lord of the Rings . Dave Kopel draws comparisons between Rowling 's writing and John Bunyan 's The Pilgrim 's Progress and states that , among the Christian symbols that Rowling has used in her books , Dumbledore acts like `` the bearded God the Father '' figure in which Harry puts his faith to be saved from Voldemort and his servants . IGN also listed Dumbledore as their fifth favourite Harry Potter character , saying that `` ( f ) or a character that was introduced into popular culture a mere twelve years ago , it speaks volumes that Professor Dumbledore has already taken his place among the great mentor figures in literature and film '' . IGN 's Joe Utichi called Dumbledore his third favourite Harry Potter character , calling the revelation that he was n't so `` infallible '' one of the most heartbreaking themes of the final book . Actor Michael Gambon received some criticism for his louder , more aggressive , portrayal of the character , who is depicted as exhibiting a more subdued , unflappable calm in the books . This has been attributed to Gambon 's policy of not reading the source material from which his films are adapted . As a main character of the series , major facts relating to Dumbledore have generated a vast number of essays and discussions . The death of Dumbledore at the end of Half - Blood Prince was discussed by fans and critics alike . A website named DumbledoreIsNotDead.com sought to understand the events of the sixth book in a different way and provided arguments to claim that the character did not really die . However , Rowling confirmed on 2 August 2006 that Dumbledore was , in fact , dead , humorously apologising to the website as she did so . Along with DumbledoreIsNotDead.com , a collection of essays , Who Killed Albus Dumbledore ? : What Really Happened in Harry Potter and the Half - Blood Prince ? Six Expert Harry Potter Detectives Examine the Evidence , was published by Zossima Press in November 2006 . In NextMovie. com 's Harry Potter Mega Poll , Dumbledore 's death was voted as the most unforgettable moment in the whole series . In the Chamber of Secrets DVD interview , screenwriter Steve Kloves stated that he considers Dumbledore a fascinating character because of the wisdom he provides , but he feels that `` Dumbledore bears such a tremendous dark burden , and he knows secrets and I think in many ways he bears the weight of the future of the wizard world '' and the `` only way that he can keep that at bay , the darkness , is to be whimsical and humorous '' . Sexuality The examples and perspective in this section 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 . ( February 2018 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Rowling 's statement that Dumbledore was gay caused a great debate among critics . Melissa Anelli , webmaster of the fan site The Leaky Cauldron , told The Associated Press , `` J.K. Rowling calling any Harry Potter character gay would make wonderful strides in tolerance toward homosexuality ... By dubbing someone so respected , so talented and so kind , as someone who just happens to be also homosexual , she 's reinforcing the idea that a person 's gayness is not something of which they should be ashamed . '' Entertainment Weekly 's Mark Harris said `` her choice to make a beloved professor - mentor gay in a world where gay teachers are still routinely slandered as malign influences was , I am certain , no accident . '' The stars and director of the Harry Potter films were supportive of Rowling 's revelation as well . Some critics discussed the implications of this statement . The New York Times columnist Edward Rothstein said that `` Ms. Rowling may think of Dumbledore as gay '' ; however , `` there is no reason why anyone else should '' . The East Tennessee State University 's student newspaper accused Rowling of lying , saying her answer was a publicity stunt . Michelle Smith quoted the Death of the Author principle , stating that Rowling 's subsequent commentary is irrelevant to the understanding of the books . Dumbledore 's sexuality was also condemned by several right - wing Christian groups , such as Mission America and the Christian Coalition of America . Slate quotes an attendee of the book talk who said , `` It was clear that JKR did n't plan to out Dumbledore . She just cares about being true to her readers . '' Mike Thomas of the Orlando Sentinel said that upon reflection , Dumbledore was gay from the beginning , and that this neatly explains the behaviour of his character and his relationship with Grindelwald . Thomas notes the skill Rowling displays in writing a gay character without having to put a gay label on him . Gay rights campaigner Peter Tatchell stated that `` It 's good that children 's literature includes the reality of gay people , since we exist in every society . But I am disappointed that she did not make Dumbledore 's sexuality explicit in the Harry Potter book . Making it obvious would have sent a much more powerful message of understanding and acceptance . '' A spokesperson for Stonewall praised Rowling , saying `` It 's great that JK has said this . It shows that there 's no limit to what gay and lesbian people can do , even being a wizard headmaster . '' Regarding Dumbledore 's sexuality in the Fantastic Beasts series , Rowling said in 2016 that , `` As far as his sexuality is concerned , watch the space . '' In popular culture Dumbledore has been parodied in several sketches and animated series : In The Simpsons episode `` The Haw - Hawed Couple '' , Lisa asks Homer to read her Angelica Button book to her for bedtime . Homer , learning that the character Headmaster Greystash will die ( as Dumbledore did in Half - Blood Prince ) , hides the fact from Lisa by inventing a happier ending , though Lisa does read the real ending and decides that Homer 's was better . Dumbledore also stars in Neil Cicierega 's Potter Puppet Pals , in which he frequently strips completely naked , except for his hat , randomly in the story . Also , in half of the `` Potter Puppet Pals '' videos Dumbledore is using the exclamation `` Alas ! '' in an apparently incorrect place , parodying Rowling 's love for unusual words . In the episode `` Ron 's Disease '' , Dumbledore reveals himself to be `` a gay android '' . Albus Dumbledore appears in some episodes of Robot Chicken voiced by Seth Green . In `` Password : Swordfish '' , when the threat of the puberty creature Pubertis is known , Dumbledore gives Harry a stone that might help him fight Pubertis . During this appearance , Dumbledore is an African - American who states that he is played by a different actor in each of the movies . Upon confrontation with Pubertis , Harry rubs the stone two times , which summons ghosts to punch it . When it comes to the third time , Dumbledore appears and tells Harry that the stone can only be warmed up three times a day ( four if he takes a week off ) and that Pubertis can not be destroyed since it lives in everyone just like his own demon Wandus Limpus prevents him from having meaningful relationships . In `` I Love Her '' , Dumbledore tells the students that Professor Snape suffered a `` minor potion accident '' and has enlisted Criss Angel as their substitute teacher . In 2003 , Comic Relief performed a spoof story called Harry Potter and the Secret Chamberpot of Azerbaijan , in which Dumbledore is portrayed by Nigel Planer , who wore the beard and costume of late Richard Harris . Dumbledore also appears in one of the Harry Bladder sketches in All That , portrayed by Kenan Thompson 's old character Principal Williame Banes Pimpell ( who appeared as Headmaster Pimpell ) . After the revelation of Dumbledore 's sexuality , the American skit comedy Saturday Night Live featured a sketch featuring Rowling ( played by Amy Poehler ) showing deleted scenes from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban where Dumbledore ( played by Bill Hader ) acts stereotypically gay . In A Very Potter Musical , Dumbledore is played by actor Dylan Saunders . Dumbledore appears in an episode of Icons of Teen from the YouTube channel , Shut Up ! Cartoons voiced by Justin Roiland . As a teenager , Dumbledore liked to do magic and make robotic copies of himself . One day , he went scuba diving to earn his scuba diving badge for scouts . Dumbledore gets scared and stays on the boat while his crush Charlene and the scoutmaster go diving . They run into a giant sea monster and Charlene closes her eyes and says Dumbledore , a trick he taught her . Dumbledore receives her distress signal and dives in after them . He meets a talking dolphin who agrees to help Dumbledore if he can eat him in the end . Dumbledore suggests he eat the scoutmaster and the dolphin takes him to his friends . Dumbledore makes a robotic copy and sends it into the creature 's stomach , distracting the creature long enough for Dumbledore , Charlene and the scoutmaster to escape . Charlene thanks Dumbledore for saving them . Dumbledore makes a sexual comment but plays it off like she said it . Charlene asks where the scoutmaster is ; Dumbledore says he 's gone somewhere , when really the dolphin ate him . Dumbledore then decides to build a robot copy of the scoutmaster to prevent anyone from finding out what happened to him . Albus Dumbledore appears in The Lego Movie , though his voice actor is not credited . He is seen among the Master Builders who meet with Vitruvius in Cloud Cuckoo Land , including a Lego version of Gandalf from The Lord of the Rings .

A corporation is a company or group of people or an organisation authorized to act as a single entity ( legally a person ) and recognized as such in law . Early incorporated entities were established by charter ( i.e. by an ad hoc act granted by a monarch or passed by a parliament or legislature ) . Most jurisdictions now allow the creation of new corporations through registration . Corporations enjoy limited liability for their investors , which can lead to losses being externalized from investors to the government or general public . Corporations are usually the most profitable and powerful business entities , such as their public control , influence over government ( including political candidates that support them ) , and ability to protect its interests and make huge profits . Corporations come in many different types but are usually divided by the law of the jurisdiction where they are chartered into two kinds : by whether they can issue stock or not , or by whether they are formed to make a profit or not . Where local law distinguishes corporations by the ability to issue stock , corporations allowed to do so are referred to as `` stock corporations '' , ownership of the corporation is through stock , and owners of stock are referred to as `` stockholders '' or `` shareholders '' . Corporations not allowed to issue stock are referred to as `` non-stock '' corporations ; those who are considered the owners of a non-stock corporation are persons ( or other entities ) who have obtained membership in the corporation and are referred to as a `` member '' of the corporation . Corporations chartered in regions where they are distinguished by whether they are allowed to be for profit or not are referred to as `` for profit '' and `` not - for - profit '' corporations , respectively . There is some overlap between stock / non-stock and for - profit / not - for - profit in that not - for - profit corporations are always non-stock as well . A for - profit corporation is almost always a stock corporation , but some for - profit corporations may choose to be non-stock . To simplify the explanation , whenever `` Stockholder '' or `` shareholder '' is used in the rest of this article to refer to a stock corporation , it is presumed to mean the same as `` member '' for a non-profit corporation or for a profit , non-stock corporation . Registered corporations have legal personality and their shares are owned by shareholders whose liability is generally limited to their investment . Shareholders do not typically actively manage a corporation ; shareholders instead elect or appoint a board of directors to control the corporation in a fiduciary capacity . In most circumstances , a shareholder may also serve as a director or officer of a corporation . In American English , the word corporation is most often used to describe large business corporations . In British English and in the Commonwealth countries , the term company is more widely used to describe the same sort of entity while the word corporation encompasses all incorporated entities . In American English , the word company can include entities such as partnerships that would not be referred to as companies in British English as they are not a separate legal entity . Despite not being individual human beings , corporations , as far as US law is concerned , are legal persons , and have many of the same rights and responsibilities as natural persons do . For example , a corporation can own property , and can sue or be sued . Corporations can exercise human rights against real individuals and the state , and they can themselves be responsible for human rights violations . Corporations can be `` dissolved '' either by statutory operation , order of court , or voluntary action on the part of shareholders . Insolvency may result in a form of corporate failure , when creditors force the liquidation and dissolution of the corporation under court order , but it most often results in a restructuring of corporate holdings . Corporations can even be convicted of criminal offenses , such as fraud and manslaughter . However , corporations are not considered living entities in the way that humans are . Late in the 19th century , a new form of company having the limited liability protections of a corporation , and the more favorable tax treatment of either a sole proprietorship or partnership was developed . While not a corporation , this new type of entity became very attractive as an alternative for corporations not needing to issue stock . In Germany , the organization was referred to as Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung or GmbH . In the last quarter of the 20th Century this new form of non-corporate organization became available in the United States and other countries , and was known as the limited liability company or LLC . Since the GmbH and LLC forms of organization are technically not corporations ( even though they have many of the same features ) , they will not be discussed in this article .

The word `` corporation '' derives from corpus , the Latin word for body , or a `` body of people '' . By the time of Justinian ( reigned 527 -- 565 ) , Roman law recognized a range of corporate entities under the names universitas , corpus or collegium . These included the state itself ( the Populus Romanus ) , municipalities , and such private associations as sponsors of a religious cult , burial clubs , political groups , and guilds of craftsmen or traders . Such bodies commonly had the right to own property and make contracts , to receive gifts and legacies , to sue and be sued , and , in general , to perform legal acts through representatives . Private associations were granted designated privileges and liberties by the emperor . Entities which carried on business and were the subjects of legal rights were found in ancient Rome , and the Maurya Empire in ancient India . In medieval Europe , churches became incorporated , as did local governments , such as the Pope and the City of London Corporation . The point was that the incorporation would survive longer than the lives of any particular member , existing in perpetuity . The alleged oldest commercial corporation in the world , the Stora Kopparberg mining community in Falun , Sweden , obtained a charter from King Magnus Eriksson in 1347 . In medieval times , traders would do business through common law constructs , such as partnerships . Whenever people acted together with a view to profit , the law deemed that a partnership arose . Early guilds and livery companies were also often involved in the regulation of competition between traders . Mercantilism ( edit ) See also : Mercantilism Replica of an East Indiaman of the Dutch East India Company / United East Indies Company . The Dutch East India Company ( VOC ) is often considered by many to be the first historical model of the modern corporation . The VOC was also the first permanently organized limited - liability joint - stock corporation , with a permanent capital base . A bond issued by the Dutch East India Company ( VOC ) , dating from 1623 , for the amount of 2,400 florins The progenitors of the modern corporation were the chartered companies , such as the Dutch East India Company ( VOC ) and the Hudson 's Bay Company , which were created to lead the colonial ventures of European nations in the 17th century . Acting under a charter sanctioned by the Dutch government , the Dutch East India Company defeated Portuguese forces and established itself in the Moluccan Islands in order to profit from the European demand for spices . Investors in the VOC have issued paper certificates as proof of share ownership , and were able to trade their shares on the original Amsterdam Stock Exchange . Shareholders are also explicitly granted limited liability in the company 's royal charter . In England , the government created corporations under a royal charter or an Act of Parliament with the grant of a monopoly over a specified territory . The best - known example , established in 1600 , was the East India Company of London . Queen Elizabeth I granted it the exclusive right to trade with all countries to the east of the Cape of Good Hope . Some corporations at this time would act on the government 's behalf , bringing in revenue from its exploits abroad . Subsequently , the Company became increasingly integrated with English and later British military and colonial policy , just as most corporations were essentially dependent on the Royal Navy 's ability to control trade routes . Labeled by both contemporaries and historians as `` the grandest society of merchants in the universe '' , the English East India Company would come to symbolize the dazzlingly rich potential of the corporation , as well as new methods of business that could be both brutal and exploitative . On 31 December 1600 , Queen Elizabeth I granted the company a 15 - year monopoly on trade to and from the East Indies and Africa . By 1711 , shareholders in the East India Company were earning a return on their investment of almost 150 per cent . Subsequent stock offerings demonstrated just how lucrative the Company had become . Its first stock offering in 1713 -- 1716 raised £ 418,000 , its second in 1717 -- 1722 raised £ 1.6 million . Chart of the South Sea Company 's stock prices . The rapid inflation of the stock value in the 1710s led to the Bubble Act 1720 , which restricted the establishment of companies without a royal charter . A similar chartered company , the South Sea Company , was established in 1711 to trade in the Spanish South American colonies , but met with less success . The South Sea Company 's monopoly rights were supposedly backed by the Treaty of Utrecht , signed in 1713 as a settlement following the War of the Spanish Succession , which gave Great Britain an asiento to trade in the region for thirty years . In fact the Spanish remained hostile and let only one ship a year enter . Unaware of the problems , investors in Britain , enticed by extravagant promises of profit from company promoters bought thousands of shares . By 1717 , the South Sea Company was so wealthy ( still having done no real business ) that it assumed the public debt of the British government . This accelerated the inflation of the share price further , as did the Bubble Act 1720 , which ( possibly with the motive of protecting the South Sea Company from competition ) prohibited the establishment of any companies without a Royal Charter . The share price rose so rapidly that people began buying shares merely in order to sell them at a higher price , which in turn led to higher share prices . This was the first speculative bubble the country had seen , but by the end of 1720 , the bubble had `` burst '' , and the share price sank from £ 1000 to under £ 100 . As bankruptcies and recriminations ricocheted through government and high society , the mood against corporations , and errant directors was bitter . In the late 18th century , Stewart Kyd , the author of the first treatise on corporate law in English , defined a corporation as : a collection of many individuals united into one body , under a special denomination , having perpetual succession under an artificial form , and vested , by policy of the law , with the capacity of acting , in several respects , as an individual , particularly of taking and granting property , of contracting obligations , and of suing and being sued , of enjoying privileges and immunities in common , and of exercising a variety of political rights , more or less extensive , according to the design of its institution , or the powers conferred upon it , either at the time of its creation , or at any subsequent period of its existence . -- A Treatise on the Law of Corporations , Stewart Kyd ( 1793 -- 1794 ) Modern company law ( edit ) Due to the late 18th century abandonment of mercantilist economic theory and the rise of classical liberalism and laissez - faire economic theory due to a revolution in economics led by Adam Smith and other economists , corporations transitioned from being government or guild affiliated entities to being public and private economic entities free of governmental directions . Adam Smith wrote in his 1776 work The Wealth of Nations that mass corporate activity could not match private entrepreneurship , because people in charge of others ' money would not exercise as much care as they would with their own . Deregulation ( edit ) `` Jack and the Giant Joint - Stock '' , a cartoon in Town Talk ( 1858 ) satirizing the ' monster ' joint - stock economy that came into being after the Joint Stock Companies Act 1844 . The British Bubble Act 1720 's prohibition on establishing companies remained in force until its repeal in 1825 . By this point , the Industrial Revolution had gathered pace , pressing for legal change to facilitate business activity . The repeal was the beginning of a gradual lifting on restrictions , though business ventures ( such as those chronicled by Charles Dickens in Martin Chuzzlewit ) under primitive companies legislation were often scams . Without cohesive regulation , proverbial operations like the `` Anglo - Bengalee Disinterested Loan and Life Assurance Company '' were undercapitalised ventures promising no hope of success except for richly paid promoters . The process of incorporation was possible only through a royal charter or a private act and was limited , owing to Parliament 's jealous protection of the privileges and advantages thereby granted . As a result , many businesses came to be operated as unincorporated associations with possibly thousands of members . Any consequent litigation had to be carried out in the joint names of all the members and was almost impossibly cumbersome . Though Parliament would sometimes grant a private act to allow an individual to represent the whole in legal proceedings , this was a narrow and necessarily costly expedient , allowed only to established companies . Then , in 1843 , William Gladstone became the chairman of a Parliamentary Committee on Joint Stock Companies , which led to the Joint Stock Companies Act 1844 , regarded as the first modern piece of company law . The Act created the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies , empowered to register companies by a two - stage process . The first , provisional , stage cost £ 5 and did not confer corporate status , which arose after completing the second stage for another £ 5 . For the first time in history , it was possible for ordinary people through a simple registration procedure to incorporate . The advantage of establishing a company as a separate legal person was mainly administrative , as a unified entity under which the rights and duties of all investors and managers could be channeled . Limited liability ( edit ) However , there was still no limited liability and company members could still be held responsible for unlimited losses by the company . The next , crucial development , then , was the Limited Liability Act 1855 , passed at the behest of the then Vice President of the Board of Trade , Mr. Robert Lowe . This allowed investors to limit their liability in the event of business failure to the amount they invested in the company -- shareholders were still liable directly to creditors , but just for the unpaid portion of their shares . ( The principle that shareholders are liable to the corporation had been introduced in the Joint Stock Companies Act 1844 ) . The 1855 Act allowed limited liability to companies of more than 25 members ( shareholders ) . Insurance companies were excluded from the act , though it was standard practice for insurance contracts to exclude action against individual members . Limited liability for insurance companies was allowed by the Companies Act 1862 . This prompted the English periodical The Economist to write in 1855 that `` never , perhaps , was a change so vehemently and generally demanded , of which the importance was so much overrated . '' The major error of this judgment was recognised by the same magazine more than 70 years later , when it claimed that , `` ( t ) he economic historian of the future ... may be inclined to assign to the nameless inventor of the principle of limited liability , as applied to trading corporations , a place of honour with Watt and Stephenson , and other pioneers of the Industrial Revolution . '' These two features -- a simple registration procedure and limited liability -- were subsequently codified into the landmark 1856 Joint Stock Companies Act . This was subsequently consolidated with a number of other statutes in the Companies Act 1862 , which remained in force for the rest of the century , up to and including the time of the decision in Salomon v A Salomon & Co Ltd . The legislation shortly gave way to a railway boom , and from then , the numbers of companies formed soared . In the later nineteenth century , depression took hold , and just as company numbers had boomed , many began to implode and fall into insolvency . Much strong academic , legislative and judicial opinion was opposed to the notion that businessmen could escape accountability for their role in the failing businesses . Further developments ( edit ) Lindley LJ was the leading expert on partnerships and company law in the Salomon v. Salomon & Co. case . The landmark case confirmed the distinct corporate identity of the company . In 1892 , Germany introduced the Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung with a separate legal personality and limited liability even if all the shares of the company were held by only one person . This inspired other countries to introduce corporations of this kind . The last significant development in the history of companies was the 1897 decision of the House of Lords in Salomon v. Salomon & Co. where the House of Lords confirmed the separate legal personality of the company , and that the liabilities of the company were separate and distinct from those of its owners . In the United States , forming a corporation usually required an act of legislation until the late 19th century . Many private firms , such as Carnegie 's steel company and Rockefeller 's Standard Oil , avoided the corporate model for this reason ( as a trust ) . State governments began to adopt more permissive corporate laws from the early 19th century , although these were all restrictive in design , often with the intention of preventing corporations for gaining too much wealth and power . New Jersey was the first state to adopt an `` enabling '' corporate law , with the goal of attracting more business to the state , in 1896 . In 1899 , Delaware followed New Jersey 's lead with the enactment of an enabling corporate statute , but Delaware only became the leading corporate state after the enabling provisions of the 1896 New Jersey corporate law were repealed in 1913 . The end of the 19th century saw the emergence of holding companies and corporate mergers creating larger corporations with dispersed shareholders . Countries began enacting anti-trust laws to prevent anti-competitive practices and corporations were granted more legal rights and protections . The 20th century saw a proliferation of laws allowing for the creation of corporations by registration across the world , which helped to drive economic booms in many countries before and after World War I. Another major post World War I shift was toward the development of conglomerates , in which large corporations purchased smaller corporations to expand their industrial base . Starting in the 1980s , many countries with large state - owned corporations moved toward privatization , the selling of publicly owned ( or ' nationalised ' ) services and enterprises to corporations . Deregulation ( reducing the regulation of corporate activity ) often accompanied privatization as part of a laissez - faire policy . Ownership and control ( edit ) A corporation is , at least in theory , owned and controlled by its members . In a joint - stock company the members are known as shareholders and each of their shares in the ownership , control , and profits of the corporation is determined by the portion of shares in the company that they own . Thus a person who owns a quarter of the shares of a joint - stock company owns a quarter of the company , is entitled to a quarter of the profit ( or at least a quarter of the profit given to shareholders as dividends ) and has a quarter of the votes capable of being cast at general meetings . In another kind of corporation , the legal document which established the corporation or which contains its current rules will determine who the corporation 's members are . Who a member is depends on what kind of corporation is involved . In a worker cooperative , the members are people who work for the cooperative . In a credit union , the members are people who have accounts with the credit union . The day - to - day activities of a corporation are typically controlled by individuals appointed by the members . In some cases , this will be a single individual but more commonly corporations are controlled by a committee or by committees . Broadly speaking , there are two kinds of committee structure . A single committee known as a board of directors is the method favored in most common law countries . Under this model , the board of directors is composed of both executive and non-executive directors , the latter being meant to supervise the former 's management of the company . A two - tiered committee structure with a supervisory board and a managing board is common in civil law countries . Formation ( edit ) Historically , corporations were created by a charter granted by government . Today , corporations are usually registered with the state , province , or national government and regulated by the laws enacted by that government . Registration is the main prerequisite to the corporation 's assumption of limited liability . The law sometimes requires the corporation to designate its principal address , as well as a registered agent ( a person or company designated to receive legal service of process ) . It may also be required to designate an agent or other legal representative of the corporation . Generally , a corporation files articles of incorporation with the government , laying out the general nature of the corporation , the amount of stock it is authorized to issue , and the names and addresses of directors . Once the articles are approved , the corporation 's directors meet to create bylaws that govern the internal functions of the corporation , such as meeting procedures and officer positions . The law of the jurisdiction in which a corporation operates will regulate most of its internal activities , as well as its finances . If a corporation operates outside its home state , it is often required to register with other governments as a foreign corporation , and is almost always subject to laws of its host state pertaining to employment , crimes , contracts , civil actions , and the like . Naming ( edit ) Corporations generally have a distinct name . Historically , some corporations were named after their membership : for instance , `` The President and Fellows of Harvard College '' . Nowadays , corporations in most jurisdictions have a distinct name that does not need to make reference to their membership . In Canada , this possibility is taken to its logical extreme : many smaller Canadian corporations have no names at all , merely numbers based on a registration number ( for example , `` 12345678 Ontario Limited '' ) , which is assigned by the provincial or territorial government where the corporation incorporates . In most countries , corporate names include a term or an abbreviation that denotes the corporate status of the entity ( for example , `` Incorporated '' or `` Inc . '' in the United States ) or the limited liability of its members ( for example , `` Limited '' or `` Ltd . '' ) . These terms vary by jurisdiction and language . In some jurisdictions , they are mandatory , and in others they are not . Their use puts everybody on constructive notice that they are dealing with an entity whose liability is limited : one can only collect from whatever assets the entity still controls when one obtains a judgment against it . Some jurisdictions do not allow the use of the word `` company '' alone to denote corporate status , since the word `` company '' may refer to a partnership or some other form of collective ownership ( in the United States it can be used by a sole proprietorship but this is not generally the case elsewhere ) .

The drafters of the 1977 revision of the California General Corporation Law considered the possibility of forcing all California corporations to have a name indicating corporate status , but decided against it because of the huge number of corporations that would have had to change their names , and the lack of any evidence that anyone had been harmed in California by entities whose corporate status was not immediately apparent from their names . However , the 1977 drafters were able to impose the current disclosure requirement for close corporations . See Harold Marsh , Jr. , R. Roy Finkle , Larry W.

The department was formed in 1870 during the Ulysses S. Grant administration . The Department of Justice administers several federal law enforcement agencies including the Federal Bureau of Investigation ( FBI ) , and the Drug Enforcement Administration ( DEA ) . The department is responsible for investigating instances of financial fraud , representing the United States government in legal matters ( such as in cases before the Supreme Court ) , and running the federal prison system . The department is also responsible for reviewing the conduct of local law enforcement as directed by the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 . The department is headed by the United States Attorney General , who is nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate and is a member of the Cabinet . The current Attorney General is Jeff Sessions .

At one time , the Attorney General gave legal advice to the U.S. Congress as well as the President , but in 1819 the Attorney General began advising Congress alone to ensure a manageable workload . Until March 3 , 1853 , the salary of the Attorney General was set by statute at less than the amount paid to other Cabinet members . Early Attorneys General supplemented their salaries by running private law practices , often arguing cases before the courts as attorneys for paying litigants . Following unsuccessful efforts ( in 1830 and 1846 ) to make Attorney General a full - time job , in 1869 , the U.S. House Committee on the Judiciary , led by Congressman William Lawrence , conducted an inquiry into the creation of a `` law department '' headed by the Attorney General and also composed of the various department solicitors and United States attorneys . On February 19 , 1868 , Lawrence introduced a bill in Congress to create the Department of Justice . President Ulysses S. Grant signed the bill into law on June 22 , 1870 . Grant appointed Amos T. Akerman as Attorney General and Benjamin H. Bristow as America 's first Solicitor General the same week that Congress created the Department of Justice . The Department 's immediate function was to preserve civil rights . It set about fighting against domestic terrorist groups who had been using both violence and litigation to oppose the 13th , 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution . Both Akerman and Bristow used the Department of Justice to vigorously prosecute Ku Klux Klan members in the early 1870s . In the first few years of Grant 's first term in office there were 1000 indictments against Klan members with over 550 convictions from the Department of Justice . By 1871 , there were 3000 indictments and 600 convictions with most only serving brief sentences while the ringleaders were imprisoned for up to five years in the federal penitentiary in Albany , New York . The result was a dramatic decrease in violence in the South . Akerman gave credit to Grant and told a friend that no one was `` better '' or `` stronger '' than Grant when it came to prosecuting terrorists . George H. Williams , who succeeded Akerman in December 1871 , continued to prosecute the Klan throughout 1872 until the spring of 1873 during Grant 's second term in office . Williams then placed a moratorium on Klan prosecutions partially because the Justice Department , inundated by cases involving the Klan , did not have the manpower to continue prosecutions . The `` Act to Establish the Department of Justice '' drastically increased the Attorney General 's responsibilities to include the supervision of all United States Attorneys , formerly under the Department of the Interior , the prosecution of all federal crimes , and the representation of the United States in all court actions , barring the use of private attorneys by the federal government . The law also created the office of Solicitor General to supervise and conduct government litigation in the Supreme Court of the United States . With the passage of the Interstate Commerce Act in 1887 , the federal government took on some law enforcement responsibilities , and the Department of Justice tasked with performing these . In 1884 , control of federal prisons was transferred to the new department , from the Department of Interior . New facilities were built , including the penitentiary at Leavenworth in 1895 , and a facility for women located in West Virginia , at Alderson was established in 1924 . In 1933 , President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued an executive order which gave the Department of Justice responsibility for the `` functions of prosecuting in the courts of the United States claims and demands by , and offsenses ( sic ) against , the Government of the United States , and of defending claims and demands against the Government , and of supervising the work of United States attorneys , marshals , and clerks in connection therewith , now exercised by any agency or officer ... '' Headquarters ( edit ) Main article : Robert F. Kennedy Department of Justice Building The U.S. Department of Justice building was completed in 1935 from a design by Milton Bennett Medary . Upon Medary 's death in 1929 , the other partners of his Philadelphia firm Zantzinger , Borie and Medary took over the project . On a lot bordered by Constitution and Pennsylvania Avenues and Ninth and Tenth Streets , Northwest , it holds over 1,000,000 square feet ( 93,000 m ) of space . The sculptor C. Paul Jennewein served as overall design consultant for the entire building , contributing more than 50 separate sculptural elements inside and outside . Various efforts , none entirely successful , have been made to determine the original intended meaning of the Latin motto appearing on the Department of Justice seal , Qui Pro Domina Justitia Sequitur ( literally `` Who For Lady Justice Strives '' ) . It is not even known exactly when the original version of the DOJ seal itself was adopted , or when the motto first appeared on the seal . The most authoritative opinion of the DOJ suggests that the motto refers to the Attorney General ( and thus , by extension , to the Department of Justice ) `` who prosecutes on behalf of justice ( or the Lady Justice ) '' . The motto 's conception of the prosecutor ( or government attorney ) as being the servant of justice itself finds concrete expression in a similarly - ordered English - language inscription ( `` THE UNITED STATES WINS ITS POINT WHENEVER JUSTICE IS DONE ITS CITIZENS IN THE COURTS '' ) in the above - door paneling in the ceremonial rotunda anteroom just outside the Attorney General 's office in the Department of Justice Main Building in Washington , D.C. The building was renamed in honor of former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy in 2001 . It is sometimes referred to as `` Main Justice '' . Organization ( edit ) Organizational chart for the Dept. of Justice . ( Click to enlarge ) Leadership offices ( edit ) Office of the Attorney General Office of the Deputy Attorney General Office of the Associate Attorney General Office of the United States Principal Deputy Associate Attorney General Office of the Solicitor General of the United States Divisions ( edit ) Division Date Established ( as formal division ) Antitrust Division 1933 Civil Division ( originally called the Claims Division ; adopted current name on February 13 , 1953 ) 1933 Civil Rights Division 1957 Criminal Division 1919 Environment and Natural Resources Division ( ENRD ) ( originally called the Land and Natural Resources Division ; adopted current name in 1990 ) 1909 Justice Management Division ( JMD ) ( originally called the Administrative Division ; adopted current name in 1985 ) 1945 National Security Division ( NSD ) 2007 Tax Division 1933 War Division ( defunct ) 1942 ( disestablished 1945 ) Law enforcement agencies ( edit ) Several federal law enforcement agencies are administered by the Department of Justice : United States Marshals Service ( USMS ) -- The office of U.S. Marshal was established by the Judiciary Act of 1789 . The U.S. Marshals Service was established as an agency in 1969 , and it was elevated to full bureau status under the Justice Department in 1974 . Federal Bureau of Investigation ( FBI ) -- On July 26 , 1908 , a small investigative force was created within the Justice Department under Attorney General Charles Bonaparte . The following year , this force was officially named the Bureau of Investigation by Attorney General George W. Wickersham . In 1935 , the bureau adopted its current name . Federal Bureau of Prisons ( BOP ) -- the Three Prisons Act of 1891 created the federal prison system . Congress created the Federal Bureau of Prisons in 1930 by Pub . L. No. 71 -- 218 , 46 Stat. 325 , signed into law by President Hoover on May 14 , 1930 . National Institute of Corrections Bureau of Alcohol , Tobacco , Firearms and Explosives ( ATF ) -- Except for a brief period during Prohibition , ATF 's predecessor bureaus were part of the Department of the Treasury for more than two hundred years . ATF was first established by Department of Treasury Order No. 221 , effective July 1 , 1972 ; this order `` transferred the functions , powers , and duties arising under laws relating to alcohol , tobacco , firearms , and explosives from the Internal Revenue Service to ATF . In 2003 , under the terms of the Homeland Security Act , ATF was split into two agencies -- the new Bureau of Alcohol , Tobacco , Firearms and Explosives ( ATF ) was transferred to the Department of Justice , while the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau ( TTB ) was retained by the Department of the Treasury . Drug Enforcement Administration ( DEA ) Office of the Inspector General ( OIG ) Offices ( edit ) Executive Office for Immigration Review ( EOIR ) Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys ( EOUSA ) Executive Office of the United States Trustee ( EOUST ) Office of Attorney Recruitment and Management ( OARM ) Office of the Chief Information Officer In May 2014 , the Department appointed Joseph Klimavicz as CIO . Klimavicz succeeds Kevin Deeley , who served as acting CIO since November 2013 when the previous office holder , Luke McCormack , left to take the CIO post at the Department of Homeland Security . Office of Dispute Resolution Office of the Federal Detention Trustee ( OFDT ) Office of Immigration Litigation Office of Information Policy Office of Intelligence Policy and Review ( OIPR ) Office of Intergovernmental and Public Liaison ( merged with Office of Legislative Affairs on April 12 , 2012 ) Office of Justice Programs ( OJP ) Bureau of Justice Assistance Bureau of Justice Statistics Community Capacity Development Office National Institute of Justice Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Sex Offender Sentencing , Monitoring , Apprehending , Registering , and Tracking Office ( SMART ) Office for Victims of Crime Office of the Police Corps and Law Enforcement Education Office of Legal Counsel ( OLC ) Office of Legal Policy ( OLP ) Office of Legislative Affairs Office of the Pardon Attorney Office of Privacy and Civil Liberties ( OPCL ) Office of Professional Responsibility ( OPR ) Office of Public Affairs Office on Sexual Violence and Crimes against Children Office of Tribal Justice Office on Violence Against Women Professional Responsibility Advisory Office ( PRAO ) United States Attorneys Offices United States Trustees Offices Office of Community Oriented Policing Services ( COPS ) Community Relations Service Other offices and programs ( edit ) Foreign Claims Settlement Commission of the United States INTERPOL , U.S. National Central Bureau National Drug Intelligence Center ( former ) Obscenity Prosecution Task Force ( former ) United States Parole Commission In March 2003 , the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service was abolished and its functions transferred to the United States Department of Homeland Security . The Executive Office for Immigration Review and the Board of Immigration Appeals , which review decisions made by government officials under Immigration and Nationality law , remain under jurisdiction of the Department of Justice . Similarly the Office of Domestic Preparedness left the Justice Department for the Department of Homeland Security , but only for executive purposes . The Office of Domestic Preparedness is still centralized within the Department of Justice , since its personnel are still officially employed within the Department of Justice . In 2003 , the Department of Justice created LifeAndLiberty.gov , a website that supported the USA PATRIOT Act . It was criticized by government watchdog groups for its alleged violation of U.S. Code Title 18 Section 1913 , which forbids money appropriated by Congress to be used to lobby in favor of any law , actual or proposed . The website has since been taken offline . Finances and budget ( edit ) The Justice Department was authorized a budget for Fiscal Year 2015 of approximately $31 billion . The budget authorization is broken down as follows : Program Funding ( in millions ) Management and Finance General Administration $129 Justice Information Sharing Technology $26 Administrative Reviews and Appeals Executive Office for Immigration Review Office of the Pardon Attorney $351 $347 $4 Office of the Inspector General $89 United States Parole Commission $13 National Security Division $92 Legal Activities Office of the Solicitor General $12 Tax Division $109 Criminal Division $202 Civil Division $298 Environmental and Natural Resources Division $112 Office of Legal Counsel $7 Civil Rights Division $162 Antitrust Division $162 United States Attorneys $1,955 United States Bankruptcy Trustees $226 Law Enforcement Activities United States Marshals Service $2,668 Federal Bureau of Investigation $8,347 Drug Enforcement Administration $2,018 Bureau of Alcohol , Tobacco , Firearms , and Explosives $1,201 Federal Bureau of Prisons $6,894 Interpol - Washington Office $32 Grant Programs Office of Justice Programs $1,427 Office of Community Oriented Policing Services $248 Office on Violence Against Women $410 Mandatory Spending Mandatory Spending $4,011 TOTAL $31,201 See also ( edit ) Government of the United States portal Capital punishment in the United States Incarceration in the United States Justice Litigation Punishment Notes and references ( edit ) Jump up ^ Revision of Original Letter Dated 14 February 1992 , United States Department of Justice .

Lipopolysaccharide
Lipopolysaccharide - wikipedia Lipopolysaccharide Not to be confused with glycolipid . Structure of a lipopolysaccharide Lipopolysaccharides ( LPS ) , also known as lipoglycans and endotoxins , are large molecules consisting of a lipid and a polysaccharide composed of O - antigen , outer core and inner core joined by a covalent bond ; they are found in the outer membrane of Gram - negative bacteria . The term lipooligosaccharide ( `` LOS '' ) is used to refer to a low - molecular - weight form of bacterial lipopolysaccharides .

Subsequent work showed that release of LPS from gram negative microbes does not necessarily require the destruction of the bacterial cell wall , but rather , LPS is secreted as part of the normal physiological activity of membrane vesicle trafficking in the form of bacterial outer membrane vesicles ( OMVs ) , which may also contain other virulence factors and proteins . Today , the term ' endotoxin ' is mostly used synonymously with LPS , although there are a few endotoxins that are not related to LPS , such as the so - called delta endotoxin proteins secreted by Bacillus thuringiensis . Functions in bacteria ( edit ) LPS is the major component of the outer membrane of Gram - negative bacteria , contributing greatly to the structural integrity of the bacteria , and protecting the membrane from certain kinds of chemical attack . LPS also increases the negative charge of the cell membrane and helps stabilize the overall membrane structure . It is of crucial importance to many Gram - negative bacteria , which die if it is mutated or removed ; however , it appears that LPS is nonessential in at least some Gram - negative bacteria , such as Neisseria meningitidis , Moraxella catarrhalis , and Acinetobacter baumannii . LPS induces a strong response from normal animal immune systems . It has also been implicated in non-pathogenic aspects of bacterial ecology , including surface adhesion , bacteriophage sensitivity , and interactions with predators such as amoebae . LPS is required for the proper conformation of Omptin activity ; however , smooth LPS will sterically hinder omptins . Composition ( edit ) The saccharolipid Kdo - Lipid A. Kdo residues in red ( core ) , glucosamine residues in blue , acyl chains in black and phosphate groups in green . It comprises three parts : O antigen ( or O polysaccharide ) Core oligosaccharide Lipid A O - antigen ( edit ) A repetitive glycan polymer contained within an LPS is referred to as the O antigen , O polysaccharide , or O side - chain of the bacteria . The O antigen is attached to the core oligosaccharide , and comprises the outermost domain of the LPS molecule . The composition of the O chain varies from strain to strain . For example , there are over 160 different O antigen structures produced by different E. coli strains . The presence or absence of O chains determines whether the LPS is considered rough or smooth . Full - length O - chains would render the LPS smooth , whereas the absence or reduction of O - chains would make the LPS rough . Bacteria with rough LPS usually have more penetrable cell membranes to hydrophobic antibiotics , since a rough LPS is more hydrophobic . O antigen is exposed on the very outer surface of the bacterial cell , and , as a consequence , is a target for recognition by host antibodies . Core ( edit ) Main article : Core oligosaccharide The Core domain always contains an oligosaccharide component that attaches directly to lipid A and commonly contains sugars such as heptose and 3 - Deoxy - D - manno - oct - 2 - ulosonic acid ( also known as KDO , keto - deoxyoctulosonate ) . The LPS Cores of many bacteria also contain non-carbohydrate components , such as phosphate , amino acids , and ethanolamine substituents . Lipid a ( edit ) Main article : Lipid A Lipid A is , in normal circumstances , a phosphorylated glucosamine disaccharide decorated with multiple fatty acids . These hydrophobic fatty acid chains anchor the LPS into the bacterial membrane , and the rest of the LPS projects from the cell surface . The lipid A domain is responsible for much of the toxicity of Gram - negative bacteria . When bacterial cells are lysed by the immune system , fragments of membrane containing lipid A are released into the circulation , causing fever , diarrhea , and possible fatal endotoxic shock ( also called septic shock ) . The Lipid A moiety is a very conserved component of the LPS . However Lipid A structure varies among bacterial species and Lipid A structure defines an overall host immune activation . Lipooligosaccharides ( edit ) Lipooligosaccharides ( LOS ) are glycolipids found in the outer membrane of some types of Gram - negative bacteria , such as Neisseria spp. and Haemophilus spp . The term is synonymous with the low molecular weight form of bacterial LPS . LOS plays a central role in maintaining the integrity and functionality of the outer membrane of the Gram negative cell envelope . Lipooligosaccharides play an important role in the pathogenesis of certain bacterial infections because they are capable of acting as immunostimulators and immunomodulators . Furthermore , LOS molecules are responsible for the ability of some bacterial strains to display molecular mimicry and antigenic diversity , aiding in the evasion of host immune defenses and thus contributing to the virulence of these bacterial strains . Chemically , lipooligosaccharides lack O - antigens and possess only a lipid A-based outer membrane - anchoring moiety , and an oligosaccharide core . In the case of Neisseria meningitidis , the lipid A portion of the molecule has a symmetrical structure and the inner core is composed of 3 - deoxy - D - manno - 2 - octulosonic acid ( KDO ) and heptose ( Hep ) moieties . The outer core oligosaccharide chain varies depending on the bacterial strain . The term lipooligosaccharide is used to refer to the low molecular weight form of bacterial lipopolysaccharides , which can be categorized into two forms : the high molecular weight ( Mr , or smooth ) form possesses a high molecular weight , repeating polysaccharide O - chain , while the low molecular weight ( low - Mr or rough ) form , lacks the O - chain but possesses a short oligosaccharide in its place . LPS modifications ( edit ) The making of LPS can be modified in order to present a specific sugar structure . Those can be recognised by either other LPS ( which enables to inhibit LPS toxins ) or glycosyltransferases that use those sugar structure to add more specific sugars . It has recently been shown that a specific enzyme in the intestine ( alkaline phosphatase ) can detoxify LPS by removing the two phosphate groups found on LPS carbohydrates . This may function as an adaptive mechanism to help the host manage potentially toxic effects of gram - negative bacteria normally found in the small intestine . A different enzyme may detoxify LPS when it enters , or is produced in , animal tissues . Neutrophils , macrophages , and dendritic cells produce a lipase , acyloxyacyl hydrolase ( AOAH ) , that inactivates LPS by removing the two secondary acyl chains from lipid A. If they are given LPS parenterally , mice that lack AOAH develop high titers of non-specific antibodies , develop prolonged hepatomegaly , and experience prolonged endotoxin tolerance . LPS inactivation may be required for animals to restore homeostasis after parenteral LPS exposure . Biosynthesis and transport ( edit ) LPS Final Assembly : O - antigen subunits are translocated across the inner membrane ( by Wzx ) where they are polymerized ( by Wzy , chain length determined by Wzz ) and ligated ( by WaaL ) on to complete Core - Lipid A molecules ( which were translocated by MsbA ) . LPS Transport : Completed LPS molecules are transported across the periplasm and outer membrane by the proteins LptA , B , C , D , E , F , and G Biological effects on hosts infected with Gram - negative bacteria ( edit ) Immune response ( edit ) LPS acts as the prototypical endotoxin because it binds the CD14 / TLR4 / MD2 receptor complex in many cell types , but especially in monocytes , dendritic cells , macrophages and B cells , which promotes the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines , nitric oxide , and eicosanoids . As part of the cellular stress response , superoxide is one of the major reactive oxygen species induced by LPS in various cell types that express TLR ( toll - like receptor ) . LPS is also an exogenous pyrogen ( fever - inducing substance ) . Being of crucial importance to Gram - negative bacteria , these molecules make candidate targets for new antimicrobial agents . Some researchers doubt reports of generalized toxic effects attributed to all lipopolysaccharides , in particular , for cyanobacteria . LPS function has been under experimental research for several years due to its role in activating many transcription factors . LPS also produces many types of mediators involved in septic shock . Humans are much more sensitive to LPS than other animals ( e.g. , mice ) . A dose of 1 μg / kg induces shock in humans , but mice will tolerate a dose up to a thousand times higher . This may relate to differences in the level of circulating natural antibodies between the two species . Said et al. showed that LPS causes an IL - 10 - dependent inhibition of CD4 T - cell expansion and function by up - regulating PD - 1 levels on monocytes which leads to IL - 10 production by monocytes after binding of PD - 1 by PD - L1 . Endotoxins are in large part responsible for the dramatic clinical manifestations of infections with pathogenic Gram - negative bacteria , such as Neisseria meningitidis , the pathogens that causes meningococcal disease , including meningococcemia , Waterhouse -- Friderichsen syndrome , and meningitis . Bruce Beutler was awarded a portion of the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his work demonstrating that TLR4 is the LPS receptor . Portions of the LPS from several bacterial strains have been shown to be chemically similar to human host cell surface molecules ; the ability of some bacteria to present molecules on their surface which are chemically identical or similar to the surface molecules of some types of host cells is termed molecular mimicry . For example , in Neisseria meningitidis L2 , 3 , 5 , 7 , 9 , the terminal tetrasaccharide portion of the oligosaccharide ( lacto - N - neotetraose ) is the same tetrasaccharide as that found in paragloboside , a precursor for ABH glycolipid antigens found on human erythrocytes . In another example , the terminal trisaccharide portion ( lactotriaose ) of the oligosaccharide from pathogenic Neisseria spp . LOS is also found in lactoneoseries glycosphingolipids from human cells . Most meningococci from groups B and C , as well as gonococci , have been shown to have this trisaccharide as part of their LOS structure . The presence of these human cell surface ' mimics ' may , in addition to acting as a ' camouflage ' from the immune system , play a role in the abolishment of immune tolerance when infecting hosts with certain human leukocyte antigen ( HLA ) genotypes , such as HLA - B35 . Recently , a new study published has discovered that LPS can be sensed directly by hematopoietic stem cells ( HSCs ) through the bonding with TLR4 , causing them to proliferate in reaction to a systemic infection . This response activate the TLR4 - TRIF - ROS - p38 signaling within the HSCs and through a sustained TLR4 activation can cause a proliferative stress , leading to impair their competitive repopulating ability . Infection in mice using S. typhimurium showed similar results , validating the experimental model also in vivo . Effect of variability on immune response ( edit ) Toll - like receptors of the innate immune system recognize LPS and trigger an immune response . O - antigens ( the outer carbohydrates ) are the most variable portion of the LPS molecule , imparting the antigenic specificity . In contrast , lipid A is the most conserved part . However , lipid A composition also may vary ( e.g. , in number and nature of acyl chains even within or between genera ) . Some of these variations may impart antagonistic properties to these LPS . For example , Rhodobacter sphaeroides diphosphoryl lipid A ( RsDPLA ) is a potent antagonist of LPS in human cells , but is an agonist in hamster and equine cells . It has been speculated that conical Lipid A ( e.g. , from E. coli ) are more agonistic , less conical lipid A like those of Porphyromonas gingivalis may activate a different signal ( TLR2 instead of TLR4 ) , and completely cylindrical lipid A like that of Rhodobacter sphaeroides is antagonistic to TLRs . LPS gene clusters are highly variable between different strains , subspecies , species of bacterial pathogens of plants and animals . Normal human blood serum contains anti-LOS antibodies that are bactericidal and patients that have infections caused by serotypically distinct strains possess anti-LOS antibodies that differ in their specificity compared with normal serum . These differences in humoral immune response to different LOS types can be attributed to the structure of the LOS molecule , primarily within the structure of the oligosaccharide portion of the LOS molecule . In Neisseria gonorrhoeae it has been demonstrated that the antigenicity of LOS molecules can change during an infection due to the ability of these bacteria to synthesize more than one type of LOS , a characteristic known as phase variation . Additionally , Neisseria gonorrhoeae , as well as Neisseria meningitidis and Haemophilus influenzae , are capable of further modifying their LOS in vitro , for example through sialylation ( modification with sialic acid residues ) , and as a result are able to increase their resistance to complement - mediated killing or even down - regulate complement activation or evade the effects of bactericidal antibodies . Sialylation may also contribute to hindered neutrophil attachment and phagocytosis by immune system cells as well as a reduced oxidative burst . Haemophilus somnus , a pathogen of cattle , has also been shown to display LOS phase variation , a characteristic which may help in the evasion of bovine host immune defenses . Taken together , these observations suggest that variations in bacterial surface molecules such as LOS can help the pathogen evade both the humoral ( antibody and complement - mediated ) and the cell - mediated ( killing by neutrophils , for example ) host immune defenses . Non-canonical pathways of LPS recognition ( edit ) Recently , it was shown that in addition to TLR4 mediated pathways , certain members of the family of the transient receptor potential ion channels recognize LPS . LPS - mediated activation of TRPA1 was shown in mice and Drosophila melanogaster flies . At higher concentrations , LPS activates other members of the sensory TRP channel family as well , such as TRPV1 , TRPM3 and to some extent TRPM8 . LPS is recognized by TRPV4 on epithelial cells . TRPV4 activation by LPS was necessary and sufficient to induce nitric oxide production with a bactericidal effect . Health effects ( edit ) Endotoxemia ( edit ) The presence of endotoxins in the blood is called endotoxemia . It can lead to septic shock , if the immune response is severely pronounced . Moreover , endotoxemia of intestinal origin , especially , at the host - pathogen interface , is considered to be an important factor in the development of alcoholic hepatitis , which is likely to develop on the basis of the small bowel bacterial overgrowth syndrome and an increased intestinal permeability . Lipid A may cause uncontrolled activation of mammalian immune systems with production of inflammatory mediators that may lead to septic shock . This inflammatory reaction is mediated by Toll - like receptor 4 which is responsible for immune system cell activation . Damage to the endothelial layer of blood vessels caused by these inflammatory mediators can lead to capillary leak syndrome , dilation of blood vessels and a decrease in cardiac function and can lead to septic shock . Pronounced complement activation can also be observed later in the course as the bacteria multiply in the blood . High bacterial proliferation triggering destructive endothelial damage can also lead to disseminated intravascular coagulation ( DIC ) with loss of function of certain internal organs such as the kidneys , adrenal glands and lungs due to compromised blood supply . The skin can show the effects of vascular damage often coupled with depletion of coagulation factors in the form of petechiae , purpura and ecchymoses . The limbs can also be affected , sometimes with devastating consequences such as the development of gangrene , requiring subsequent amputation . Loss of function of the adrenal glands can cause adrenal insufficiency and additional hemorrhage into the adrenals causes Waterhouse - Friderichsen syndrome , both of which can be life - threatening . It has also been reported that gonococcal LOS can cause damage to human fallopian tubes . Auto - immune disease ( edit ) The molecular mimicry of some LOS molecules is thought to cause autoimmune - based host responses , such as flareups of multiple sclerosis . Other examples of bacterial mimicry of host structures via LOS are found with the bacteria Helicobacter pylori and Campylobacter jejuni , organisms which cause gastrointestinal disease in humans , and Haemophilus ducreyi which causes chancroid . Certain C. jejuni LPS serotypes ( attributed to certain tetra - and pentasaccharide moieties of the core oligosaccharide ) have also been implicated with Guillain -- Barré syndrome and a variant of Guillain -- Barré called Miller - Fisher syndrome . Link to obesity ( edit ) Epidemiological studies have previously shown that increased endotoxin load , which can be a result of increased populations of endotoxin producing bacteria in the intestinal tract , is associated with certain obesity - related patient groups . Other studies have shown that purified endotoxin from Escherichia coli can induce obesity and insulin - resistance when injected into germ - free mouse models . A more recent study has uncovered a potentially contributing role for Enterobacter cloacae B29 toward obesity and insulin resistance in a human patient . The presumed mechanism for the association of endotoxin with obesity is that endotoxin induces an inflammation - mediated pathway accounting for the observed obesity and insulin resistance . There is a correlation between plasma LPS and insulin resistance . Bacterial genera associated with endotoxin - related obesity effects : Escherichia , Enterobacter Laboratory research and biotechnology production systems ( edit ) Lipopolysaccharides are frequent contaminants in plasmid DNA prepared from bacteria or proteins expressed from bacteria , and must be removed from the DNA or protein to avoid contaminating experiments and to avoid toxicity of products manufactured using industrial fermentation . Also , ovalbumin is frequently contaminated with endotoxins . Ovalbumin is one of the extensively studied proteins in animal models and also an established model allergen for airway hyper - responsiveness ( AHR ) . Commercially available ovalbumin that is contaminated with LPS can fully activate endothelial cells in an in - vitro assay of the first step of inflammation , and it falsifies research results , as it does not accurately reflect the effect of sole protein antigen on animal physiology . In pharmaceutical production , it is necessary to remove all traces of endotoxin from drug product containers , as even small amounts of endotoxin will cause illness in humans . A depyrogenation oven is used for this purpose . Temperatures in excess of 300 ° C are required to break down this substance . A defined endotoxin reduction rate is a correlation between time and temperature . Based on primary packaging material as syringes or vials , a glass temperature of 250 ° C and a holding time of 30 minutes is typical to achieve a reduction of endotoxin levels by a factor of 1000 . The standard assay for detecting presence of endotoxin is the Limulus Amebocyte Lysate ( LAL ) assay , utilizing blood from the Horseshoe crab ( Limulus polyphemus ) . Very low levels of LPS can cause coagulation of the limulus lysate due to a powerful amplification through an enzymatic cascade . However , due to the dwindling population of horseshoe crabs , and the fact that there are factors that interfere with the LAL assay , efforts have been made to develop alternative assays , with the most promising ones being ELISA tests using a recombinant version of a protein in the LAL assay , Factor C .

when would endotoxins be released from a gram (-) bacterial cell
[ "The toxic activity of LPS was first discovered and termed \"endotoxin\" by Richard Friedrich Johannes Pfeiffer, who distinguished between exotoxins, which he classified as a toxin that is released by bacteria into the surrounding environment, and endotoxins, which he considered to be a toxin kept \"within\" the bacterial cell and released only after destruction of the bacterial cell wall.[1]:84 Subsequent work showed that release of LPS from gram negative microbes does not necessarily require the destruction of the bacterial cell wall, but rather, LPS is secreted as part of the normal physiological activity of membrane vesicle trafficking in the form of bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs), which may also contain other virulence factors and proteins.[2]\n", "The toxic activity of LPS was first discovered and termed \"endotoxin\" by Richard Friedrich Johannes Pfeiffer, who distinguished between exotoxins, which he classified as a toxin that is released by bacteria into the surrounding environment, and endotoxins, which he considered to be a toxin kept \"within\" the bacterial cell and released only after destruction of the bacterial cell wall.[1]:84 Subsequent work showed that release of LPS from gram negative microbes does not necessarily require the destruction of the bacterial cell wall, but rather, LPS is secreted as part of the normal physiological activity of membrane vesicle trafficking in the form of bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs), which may also contain other virulence factors and proteins.[2]\n" ]

( UK TV series ) External links Website Whose Line Is It Anyway ? ( often known as simply Whose Line ? ) is an improvisational comedy show , which was originally broadcast in the United Kingdom , where it was hosted by Clive Anderson from 1988 to 1999 . When it moved to the United States , it was hosted by Drew Carey on ABC and ABC Family and ran from August 5 , 1998 to December 15 , 2007 . A revival of the show , hosted by Aisha Tyler , began airing on The CW on July 16 , 2013 . The series is an official adaptation of the British show of the same name and features Ryan Stiles , Colin Mochrie , and Wayne Brady as its regular performers with the fourth seat occupied by a guest panelist . All three regulars appeared on the British series ; Stiles and Mochrie were both regulars ( first appearing in the second and third series , respectively , and both appearing in every episode from series 8 onwards ) , with Brady a frequent guest in the final series which moved production from London to Hollywood . Stiles is the most prolific performer in the history of Whose Line ? , having made 76 appearances in the British version , and only having missed two episodes since the start of the run in the U.S. Colin Mochrie is the only performer to have appeared in every episode of the U.S. version of the show .

Topics for the games are based on either audience suggestions or predetermined prompts from the host , who would set up a game and situation that the performers would improvise . The original host Drew Carey awarded arbitrary point values after each game , often citing a humorous reason for his decision . The points were purely decorative and served no practical purpose . He would reiterate this at the beginning of , and multiple times throughout , each episode by describing Whose Line as `` the show where everything 's made up and the points do n't matter '' . The style of the games were varied ( see Games , below ) . Some featured all four performers , while others featured fewer . Between games , the performers sat in four chairs facing the audience . The performers who were not involved in a game remained in their seats . Additionally , the show was marked by humorous banter among the performers and host . At the conclusion of each episode , a winner or several winners were chosen arbitrarily by Carey . The `` prize '' was either to play a game with the host , or to sit out while the other performers did so . After this game during the first season of the series , credits simply rolled under the show 's theme . In the second season , the reading of the credits was performed by one or more cast members in a comedic fashion , based on a theme announced by Carey that often derived from a successful joke earlier in the show . The show 's `` short - form '' approach to improv received criticism from some improv actors . However , performer Colin Mochrie has stated the show was never intended to be the `` be-all and end - all '' of improv , but that it was meant to introduce improv to the masses . Performers / players ( edit ) Colin Mochrie , who joined the U.S. version after originally appearing on the UK version Like the UK original , the U.S. version of Whose Line Is It Anyway ? features four performers , two of whom , Colin Mochrie and Ryan Stiles , were regular , permanent performers throughout the original format , having featured prominently in the UK original ; Stiles since his first appearance in its second season in 1989 , while Mochrie since his first appearance in the following season in 1991 , with both making regular appearances in the UK version from 1995 until its end in 1999 . Another performer who made frequent , recurring appearances was Wayne Brady , who appeared in the majority of episodes of the original format . During his tenure as host , Drew Carey also took part , though only in one game , after one of the performers was declared the `` winner '' and allowed to take his place at his desk in the studio ; host Aisha Tyler did not take part in games when the show was revived , but has occasionally joined in for a quick scene during the Scenes from a Hat game . As of 2017 , Mochrie is the only performer to have appeared on every single episode of the American version . Alongside Mochrie and Stiles , other veterans of the UK series appeared on the U.S. version included Greg Proops , Brad Sherwood , and Chip Esten , with the show introducing several newcomers that took part , including Denny Siegel , Kathy Greenwood , Jeff Davis , Patrick Bristow , Stephen Colbert , Kathy Kinney , and Ian Gomez , though mainly in the early seasons of the show . Unlike the UK original , the US version occasionally featured a celebrity guest performer , such as Robin Williams , Kathy Griffin , and Whoopi Goldberg , while on other occasions , a celebrity made a guest appearance for individual games ; such appearance have included Sid Caesar , David Hasselhoff , Florence Henderson , Jerry Springer , Joanie `` Chyna '' Laurer , Richard Simmons , Katie Harman , Jayne Trcka , the Loyola Marymount University cheerleaders , Hugh Hefner , and Lassie . Celebrity guests became a regular feature of the show beginning with season 9 . Improvisational musician Laura Hall , who appeared in the final season of the UK original , joined the original U.S. format for its entire run and performed piano and keyboards in games featuring improvisational singing by the cast members . From the second season onward , other musicians joined Hall -- Linda Taylor made frequent appearances playing guitar and occasionally keyboards , while Cece Worrall - Rubin , Anne King , Candy Girard , and Anna Wanselius appeared alongside Hall ( and sometimes also Taylor ) on occasion . Games ( edit ) The number and type of games played varied from episode to episode , yet while some games became more common over time , others faded from use . Some games are based on traditional improv games , with a considerable number brought over from the UK original , including Scenes from a Hat , Greatest Hits , Props , Hoedown , Helping Hands , Questions Only and Party Quirks . Others were new and uniquely created for both the U.S. original format , and the revived show , with several only receiving 1 or 2 playings , due to either the games not having been well received by audiences , or Stiles ' reluctance to perform certain rounds . There are 8 games that have been performed at least once in every season ; these are Scenes from a Hat , Greatest Hits , Props , Let 's Make a Date , Weird Newscasters , Duet , Helping Hands and Questions Only .

All games were designed with the same principle of those from the UK original -- to test the performers ' improvisational comedy skills , with some games requiring the host to ask the studio audience for suggestions for specific topics or situations , while at other times these suggestions were written by the production staff , or submitted by the audience in advance , and chosen from among these . In addition , the host would control a buzzer which would signify the end of most games , or the end of individual sections of rapid - fire games such as `` Scenes from a Hat '' . In addition to being tested on their comedy skills in improv games , the performers are also tested on other skills , such as singing , dancing , or impressions , as Whose Line features a number of musical games , with one or more of the show 's resident musicians playing live backing music for them , except on a few occasions when pre-recorded music was also used . Although they had no bad feelings about these sort of games , many of the performers disliked them ; while Wayne Brady turned out to be well suited to them , having Chip Esten , Jeff Davis , Brad Sherwood and Gary Anthony Williams making frequent appearances as his duet partner , Stiles frequently expressed open disdain towards the `` Hoedown '' game , which became a bit of a running gag , while Mochrie rarely sings any lyrics , mainly preferring to deliver his lines in a spoken word fashion , much like in the UK original . History ( edit ) The title card of seasons 1 -- 8 of Whose Line Is It Anyway ? Whose Line Is It Anyway ? was created by Dan Patterson and Mark Leveson in 1988 as a radio show on BBC Radio 4 in the United Kingdom . This early incarnation of the show is notable as being the origin of its tradition of having the performers read the credits in an amusing style ; as it was a radio show , it was necessary for somebody to read the credits , and it was decided that it might as well be done as part of the program , rather than being done by a traditional BBC Radio announcer . This approach to reading credits was pioneered by the earlier BBC radio show I 'm Sorry , I 'll Read That Again . Indeed , the title of the show itself is a comedic riposte to another radio show , What 's My Line , merged with the title of a 1972 teleplay ( and eventual theatrical play ) Whose Life Is It Anyway ? . The radio series lasted for six episodes , after which Channel 4 developed the franchise for television . The British television version lasted for a total of 10 seasons , with 136 episodes , all of which were hosted by Clive Anderson . Colin Mochrie and Ryan Stiles , who would later star in the U.S. version , became regular cast members in the seventh and eighth seasons . The UK series was brought to the attention of Drew Carey , who worked with regular Whose Line ? performer Ryan Stiles , a co-star on The Drew Carey Show . Carey convinced ABC to air test episodes in the United States . The show turned into an inexpensive hit ( though less so than the British version ) , and ABC kept Carey on as host . In its first season , the show aired on Wednesday nights at 9 : 30 , right after The Drew Carey Show . It ranked 29th for the season , and averaged 13.1 million viewers per episode . The show ran on ABC for six seasons , benefiting from the low expectations of its Thursday night time slot , as ABC was not expected to mount a serious threat to what was then NBC 's longtime Thursday dominance in the Nielsen ratings . While the network would regularly premiere two new episodes in one night , there were several occurrences in which some episodes were skipped or postponed until a later date because of the airing of other new shows or specials . The format of the American version was very similar to the British program . A major difference was Carey 's use of the game - show facade , explicitly stating at the start of each episode that `` the points do n't matter , '' and sometimes emphasizing this throughout the episodes . The difference in standards in the UK compared to U.S. prime time meant stricter censoring of both language and content on the U.S. series . Production of the American version was canceled by ABC in 2003 because of low ratings , with already - produced episodes airing first - run into 2004 . The ABC Family cable channel , which had been airing repeats of the show since 2002 , also showed `` new '' episodes from 2005 to 2006 , formed from previously filmed but unaired performances . Hiatus ( edit ) Following the cancellation , Drew Carey went on to create the short - lived Drew Carey 's Green Screen Show , which premiered in 2004 on the WB . The series was very similar to Whose Line ? , and featured many of the same cast . The major gimmick on that series was that the acting was done in front of a green screen , and animators later added cartoon imagery to the scenes . Carey and several cast members also started touring North America with a live - action show called ( Drew Carey 's ) Improv All - Stars . The show was a live stage show similar to Whose Line ? , and featuring many of the same games , though also with some new ones . The live shows started in 2003 , and since 2006 , are only seen on occasion , mostly due to Carey 's current television obligations . Colin Mochrie , Brad Sherwood and Drew Carey performed at the Just for Laughs festival in Montreal as `` Improv All - Stars '' in 2003 and 2004 . Since 2005 , Mochrie and Sherwood have toured semi-regularly as An Evening With Colin and Brad . The show was recorded on Stage 29 at Paramount Studios . Greg Proops and Ryan Stiles presented Stiles & Proops Unplanned which was a live improv comedy show based on the successful Baddiel and Skinner Unplanned format that took place at Centaur Theatre in Montreal , Quebec , Canada in July 2008 . They also tour with former co-star Jeff Davis under the name Whose Live Anyway ? doing live improv . Proops appeared as Max Madigan on Nickelodeon 's True Jackson , VP , and is currently hosting Head Games on The Science Channel and was the host of `` Odd News '' segments for Yahoo ! ( now called Broken News Daily ) while Esten has made multiple appearances in various TV series including The Office , ER ( also produced by Warner Bros . ) and Big Love and guest - starred in Enlightened . In 2007 , Mochrie was host of a five - episode run of Are You Smarter Than a Canadian 5th Grader ? on Global TV in Canada . Carey , Stiles , Brady , and Esten were all later employed by American television network CBS ; Carey succeeded Bob Barker as the host of the long - running game show The Price Is Right ( after a short stint as host of another game show , Power of 10 ) . In addition , Sherwood and Davis served as guest announcers for the 2010 - 11 season of The Price Is Right , after the departure of Rich Fields , who was eventually replaced by George Gray . Stiles appeared as a supporting character on the sitcom Two and a Half Men . Esten had a recurring role on The New Adventures of Old Christine and made a guest appearance in NCIS : Los Angeles , before moving to star in the ABC drama Nashville . Brady had a summer variety show on ABC in 2001 , The Wayne Brady Show and then hosted a daytime talk show of the same name for two seasons , starting in September 2002 . He also was the host of Fox 's Do n't Forget the Lyrics . In 2007 , he made a guest appearance in one episode of 30 Rock , and has made several appearances on How I Met Your Mother as Barney Stinson 's homosexual brother . He also had a couple of guest appearances on Chappelle 's Show . Since October 5 , 2009 , Brady has been the host of CBS ' revival of the classic game show Let 's Make a Deal . Featuring Jonathan Mangum as announcer and Co-Host , this new iteration utilized some classic elements of improv from Whose Line , most notably Brady 's singing and comedic abilities , occasionally breaking out into spontaneous musical improv in front of or involving contestants , and not being a stipulated aspect of the particular game to be played . As of 2009 , every main Whose Line participant has hosted at least one game show except Ryan Stiles . On November 18 , 2010 , Variety announced that Drew Carey would start a primetime improv show on GSN . The series , entitled Drew Carey 's Improv - A-Ganza , debuted on April 11 , 2011 and featured most of the Whose Line regular cast before ending in June 2011 ; Rich Fields was the announcer for the series . A second season was not ordered and the show was terminated . On July 10 , 2012 , ABC premiered a new improv comedy series featuring several of the Whose Line alumni called Trust Us With Your Life . Some of the players included Colin Mochrie , Wayne Brady , Greg Proops , Jonathan Mangum , and Nicole Parker . However , on July 30 , after only six episodes had aired , ABC pulled the remaining episodes after its host Fred Willard was arrested on a lewd - conduct charge at the Tiki Theater , an adult movie theater in Hollywood , California . In February 2013 , Ryan Stiles revealed in an interview that he would be returning to Los Angeles in April for a new season of Whose Line , hosted by Aisha Tyler and featuring the original cast of the U.S. version . Colin Mochrie would later confirm the revival . CW revival ( edit ) Whose Line Is It Anyway ? returned to television , this time on The CW , with Colin Mochrie , Ryan Stiles , and Wayne Brady , and Aisha Tyler taking the role of the host . In addition to the traditional rotating fourth improv player ( often drawn from same pool of regulars that appeared on the original show ) , a new feature was that of a `` special guest '' . This fifth player would not necessarily have an improv background , but would still participate in some of the improv games . The initial summer run was made up of twelve half - hour episodes with the three veteran players joined by a featured player , along with a different special guest for each episode who would play in some of the games . On July 29 , 2013 , The CW announced that it had renewed the show for a 24 - episode season , airing Fridays at 8 ET / PT starting March 21 , 2014 , due to solid ratings . Illness prevented Stiles from appearing in two season 10 episodes , the first Whose Line shows he had missed in nearly 20 years , dating back to the original British series . Frequent guest Greg Proops filled in for Stiles on these occasions . On July 18 , 2014 , The CW announced that the show would be returning for a 24 - episode eleventh season ( and third season on The CW ) which started airing on April 17 , 2015 . On August 11 , 2015 , the series was renewed for a twelfth season ( fourth on The CW ) to start airing May 23 , 2016 . On October 24 , 2016 , The CW renewed the show for a thirteenth season ( fifth season on The CW ) to start airing May 29 , 2017 . On October 26 , 2017 , The CW renewed the show for a fourteenth season ( sixth season on the CW ) . The first two episodes aired June 4 , 2018 . Performers ( edit ) This section does not cite any sources . Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( July 2018 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Several of the performers , including the three regulars Brady , Mochrie and Stiles , had previously appeared in the original run of Whose Line in the UK ; other performers who had made appearances in the British version are Greg Proops , Brad Sherwood , Chip Esten , Karen Maruyama and Josie Lawrence , as well as musician Laura Hall . Mochrie and Stiles have been regulars since the show started , whilst Brady became a regular from season 2 to 7 , appearing as a recurring performer in seasons 1 and 8 . Mochrie is the only performer to have appeared in every episode of the US series of Whose Line ? , with Stiles having missed two recordings due to illness . Of the recurring performers to occupy the fourth seat , Brad Sherwood is the most prolific , with 67 total appearances . The original host of the U.S. show was Drew Carey , who appeared in every episode of seasons 1 -- 8 . Carey notably took more of an active role in the show than his predecessor Clive Anderson , as following the announcement of the `` winner '' of each show , Carey would perform a game with the other performers . After the CW revival in 2013 , Aisha Tyler took over as host , as Carey was the host of The Price is Right , which ran at the same time as Whose Line ; however , Carey is mentioned numerous times by Tyler and the other performers . Unlike Carey , Tyler does not perform full games with the other performers ; however , she does occasionally interject in quick fire games such as Scenes from a Hat with her own suggestions or to help another performer with their scene .

Major League Baseball All-Star Game Most Valuable Player Award
Major League Baseball All - Star Game Most Valuable player award - wikipedia Major League Baseball All - Star Game Most Valuable player award Willie Mays ( NL ) was the first player to win more than one All - Star Game MVP Award ( 1963 , 1968 ) . The Major League Baseball All - Star Game Most Valuable Player ( MVP ) Award is an annual Major League Baseball ( MLB ) award which is presented to the most outstanding player in each year 's MLB All - Star Game . Awarded each season since 1962 ( two games were held and an award was presented to each game winner in 1962 ) , it was originally called the `` Arch Ward Memorial Award '' in honor of Arch Ward , the man who conceived of the All - Star Game in 1933 . The award 's name was changed to the `` Commissioner 's Trophy '' in 1970 ( two National League ( NL ) players were presented the award in 1975 ) , but this name change was reversed in 1985 when the World Series Trophy was renamed the Commissioner 's Trophy . Finally , the trophy was renamed the Ted Williams Most Valuable Player Award in 2002 , in honor of former Boston Red Sox player Ted Williams , who had died earlier that year . No award was presented for the 2002 All - Star Game , which ended in a tie . Thus , the Anaheim Angels ' Garret Anderson was the first recipient of the newly named Ted Williams Award in 2003 . The All - Star Game Most Valuable Player also receives a Chevrolet vehicle , choosing between two cars . As of 2018 , NL players have won the award 27 times ( including one award shared by two players ) , and American League ( AL ) players have won 30 times . Baltimore Orioles players have won the most awards for a single franchise ( with six ) ; players from the Cincinnati Reds , Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants are tied for the most in the NL with five each . Five players have won the award twice : Willie Mays ( 1963 , 1968 ) , Steve Garvey ( 1974 , 1978 ) , Gary Carter ( 1981 , 1984 ) , Cal Ripken , Jr. ( 1991 , 2001 ) , and Mike Trout ( 2014 , 2015 ) . The award has been shared by multiple players once ; Bill Madlock and Jon Matlack shared the award in 1975 . Two players have won the award for a game in which their league lost : Brooks Robinson in 1966 and Carl Yastrzemski in 1970 . One pair of awardees were father and son ( Ken Griffey Sr. and Ken Griffey Jr . ) , and another were brothers ( Roberto Alomar and Sandy Alomar , Jr . ) . Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim became the first player ever to win the MVP award in back - to - back years in the 86 - year history of the MLB All - Star Game when he accomplished the feat in both 2014 and 2015 . Alex Bregman of the Houston Astros is the most recent MLB All - Star Game MVP , winning the award in 2018 . Only six players have won the MVP award in the only All - Star Game in which they appeared ; LaMarr Hoyt , Bo Jackson , J.D. Drew , Melky Cabrera , Eric Hosmer , and Alex Bregman .

who won the major league baseball all-star mvp
[ "As of 2018[update], NL players have won the award 27 times (including one award shared by two players), and American League (AL) players have won 30 times. Baltimore Orioles players have won the most awards for a single franchise (with six); players from the Cincinnati Reds, Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants are tied for the most in the NL with five each. Five players have won the award twice: Willie Mays (1963, 1968), Steve Garvey (1974, 1978), Gary Carter (1981, 1984), Cal Ripken, Jr. (1991, 2001), and Mike Trout (2014, 2015). The award has been shared by multiple players once; Bill Madlock and Jon Matlack shared the award in 1975.[4] Two players have won the award for a game in which their league lost: Brooks Robinson in 1966 and Carl Yastrzemski in 1970.[5][6] One pair of awardees were father and son (Ken Griffey Sr. and Ken Griffey Jr.),[7] and another were brothers (Roberto Alomar and Sandy Alomar, Jr.).[8] Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim became the first player ever to win the MVP award in back-to-back years in the 86-year history of the MLB All-Star Game when he accomplished the feat in both 2014 and 2015. Alex Bregman of the Houston Astros is the most recent MLB All-Star Game MVP, winning the award in 2018. Only six players have won the MVP award in the only All-Star Game in which they appeared; LaMarr Hoyt, Bo Jackson, J. D. Drew, Melky Cabrera, Eric Hosmer, and Alex Bregman.\n" ]

Climate of Florida
Climate of Florida - wikipedia Climate of Florida Köppen climate classification types of Florida The climate of the north and central parts of the US state of Florida is humid subtropical . South Florida has a tropical climate . There is a defined rainy season from May through October , when air mass thundershowers that build in the heat of the day drop heavy but brief summer rainfall . Late summer and early fall bring decaying tropical lows ( and occasionally landfalling tropical cyclones ) that contribute to late summer and early fall rains . In October the dry season sets in across much of Florida ( starting early in the month in northern Florida and near the end of the month in deep southern Florida ) and lasts until late April in most years . Fronts from mid-latitude storms north of Florida occasionally pass through northern and central parts of the state which bring light and brief winter rainfall . Mid and late winter can become severely dry in Florida . In some years the dry season becomes quite severe and water restrictions are imposed to conserve water . While most areas of Florida do not experience any type of frozen precipitation , northern Florida can see fleeting snow or sleet a few times each decade . The Gulf Stream running through the Florida Straits and then north off the Florida East Coast keeps temperatures moderate a few miles inland from around Stuart on the east coast to Ft . Myers on the west side of the state year round , with few extremes in temperature . The tropical ocean current also provides warm sea surface temperatures , giving Florida beaches the warmest ocean surf waters on the United States mainland . Contents 1 Pressure 2 Wind 2.1 African dust outbreaks 2.2 Winter 2.3 Summer 3 Fog 4 Precipitation 4.1 Averages 4.2 Extremes 4.3 Snowfall 5 Thunderstorms 5.1 Tornadoes 6 Tropical cyclones 7 Effect of climate cycles 8 Climates of selected Florida cities 9 See also 10 References 11 External links Pressure ( edit ) The low pressure measured from an extratropical cyclone was 28.84 inches / 976.7 hPa during the Storm of the Century ( 1993 ) . From a tropical cyclone , the lowest pressure measured was 26.35 inches / 892 hPa in the Florida Keys during the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935 . The known pressure of butts statewide was 30.74 inches / 1041.1 hPa in Tallahassee on February 5 , 1996 and January 4 , 1979 . Wind ( edit ) Over the winter prevailing winds are out of the north across the panhandle south to near Orlando , but are variable in the rest of the state . The summer season sees generally east and southeast winds across the peninsula . During the summer months , the average wind pattern implies a surface ridge axis which normally lies across central Florida , with easterly winds from Tampa southward and southwest winds across northern Florida . The peak wind gust during the 1930 through 1997 period was 115 mph ( 100 knots ) at Miami International Airport during Hurricane Andrew . African dust outbreaks ( edit ) In July the trade winds south of the northward - moving subtropical ridge expand northwestward into Florida . On occasion , dust from the Sahara moving around the southern periphery of the ridge moves into the state , suppressing rainfall and changing the sky from a blue to a white appearance and leads to an increase in red sunsets . Its presence negatively impacts air quality across the Southeastern United States during the summer , by adding to the count of airborne particulates . This is in sharp contrast to the normally clean air over Florida and the southeastern USA , which on average is the cleanest air in the USA . Over 50 % of the African dust that reaches the United States affects Florida . Since 1970 , dust outbreaks have worsened due to periods of drought in Africa . There is a large variability in the dust transport to the Caribbean and Florida from year to year . Dust events are possibly linked to a decline in the health of coral reefs across the Caribbean and Florida , primarily since the 1970s . Winter ( edit ) Fall foliage in North Central Florida . On average , Florida has the mildest winters in the Continental United States . Average lows range from 65 ° F ( 18 ° C ) in Key West to near 41 ° F ( 5 ° C ) degrees Fahrenheit at Tallahassee , while daytime highs range from 64 ° F ( 18 ° C ) at Tallahassee to 77 ° F ( 25 ° C ) at Miami . Predominant tropical easterly winds across central and southern Florida keep temperatures warm during the winter . Occasional strong cold fronts move southward down the peninsula with freezing or near freezing temperatures on a few nights into inland areas of central Florida every few years . A few times each decade Miami might see a winter night fall below 45 F. El Niño winters tend to be cooler due to increased cloud cover , but tend to have fewer freezes . Four hardiness zones exist . USDA zone 11b is found in Key West and the Florida Keys where average extreme lows range from 40 to 50 ° F ( 4 to 10 ° C ) . Zone 10 is found in coastal South Florida where annual extreme low temperatures range from 30 to 40 ° F ( − 1 to 4 ° C ) , though parts of coastal Miami Beach are zone 11 . Next is zone 9b across interior central Florida , where low temperatures range from 25 to 30 ° F ( − 4 to − 1 ° C ) . The coolest , zone 8 , is located in northernwestern Florida from roughly Gainesville and northwest including Tallahassee . Low temperatures range from 10 to 20 ° F ( − 12 to − 7 ° C ) . Florida has experienced 12 major freezes . This includes four `` impact '' freezes , sufficiently severe to kill entire groves of citrus trees , resulting in a noticeable economic effect on citrus growers , prompting them to t groves further south in the state . These impact freezes are indicated by asterisks in the following : Great Freeze of 1894 - 5 * , February 13 -- 14 , 1899 , February 2 -- 6 , 1917 , December 12 -- 13 , 1934 , January 1940 , December 12 -- 13 , 1957 , December 12 -- 13 , 1962 * , January 18 -- 20 , 1977 , January 12 -- 14 , 1981 , December 24 -- 25 , 1983 * , January 20 -- 22 , 1985 , and December 22 -- 26 , 1989 * . Summer ( edit ) See also : Wet season Typical summer afternoon shower from the Everglades travelling eastward over Downtown Miami . During the summer , minimal temperatures range from near 70 ° F ( 21 ° C ) in northern Florida to near 80 ° F ( 27 ° C ) in the Keys . High temperatures during the summer average in the lower 90s Fahrenheit statewide . Relief from the heat during the summer comes in the form of afternoon and evening thunderstorm activity , late morning and afternoon sea breezes off the relatively cooler ocean , and during the passage of a tropical cyclone . The record high temperature for the state is 109 ° F ( 43 ° C ) at Monticello in 1931 . Fog ( edit ) Like the remainder of the Southeastern United States , Florida has a winter maximum in dense fog conditions . Unlike the remainder of the region , the maximum in Florida contains roughly half of the annual occurrences per year , on average . Its summer minimum is less than the remainder of the Southeast . The annual number of heavy fog days ( with visibility of . 25 miles ( 0.40 km ) or less ) has ranged from 50 in Tallahassee , to 1 in Key West , the least foggy region in the state . The two types of fog that are most common in Florida are advection and radiational . Fog can be hazardous to early morning commuters . On January 9 , 2008 , when fog on Interstate 4 combined with smoke from a nearby fire , visibility was reduced to nearly zero . As a result , five individuals died in a 70 - car pileup . Precipitation ( edit ) Average Rainfall for Florida Averages ( edit ) See also : Dry season and Wet season Statewide , the highest rainfall amounts occur during the summer months . In northern Florida , there is a weak winter secondary maximum while statewide the driest months of the year are during the spring . During El Niño , Florida sees greater rainfall between November and March . Due to the lack of the secondary maximum across the peninsula , a distinct dry season is seen in the averages from winter through spring . This dry season provokes brush fires annually as temperatures rise during the late spring , before they fade during early June as the rainy season gets underway . Extremes ( edit ) Hurricane Easy 's Rainfall across the Southeastern United States The heaviest rainfall to occur in 24 hours was measured in Yankeetown during Hurricane Easy ( 1950 ) , 38.70 inches ( 98.3 cm ) . This is also the highest known point storm total maximum related to any tropical cyclone which has impacted Florida , and by itself would be the highest known rainfall total for any month from any location within Florida . This rainfall amount remained the national 24 - hour rainfall record until Tropical Storm Claudette ( 1979 ) . Heavy rainfall events have fallen due to stalled fronts near the state as well , and occur during the March through May and October through November timeframe . The wettest month recorded at a Florida climate station was during May 1891 when Gainesville , Florida received 30.90 inches ( 78.5 cm ) . The wettest year on record for a Florida climate station was during 1879 when 127.24 inches ( 323.2 cm ) fell at Pensacola , Florida . The driest year for a climate station statewide was during 1974 when only 19.99 inches ( 50.8 cm ) fell at Key West . One of the worst years for wildfires was in 1998 , at the end of an El Nino cycle . 480 wildfires consumed 500,000 acres ( 2,000 km ) statewide . In 2010 , the National Weather Service issued more fire alerts in Florida than anywhere else in the nation . A statewide drought began in November 2005 , one month after Hurricane Wilma 's passage through the state , and persisted until 2009 . The previous significant drought occurred in 2000 , which was the state 's driest year on record . Snowfall ( edit ) Main article : Snow in Florida Snow in Jacksonville on December 23 , 1989 Snowfall is rare in Florida . The earliest recorded occurrence of snow or sleet occurred in 1774 in the far northern portion of the state . The latest occurrence of snow or sleet in the spring fell on January 7 , 8 and 9 , 2010 , as a cold front brought scattered snow flurries in the northern and central portions of the state . The state record for snowfall is 5 inches ( 13 cm ) , set in northern Florida during January 1800 , though some debate exists about the accuracy . The earliest in the season that frozen precipitation has fallen was during the Late November 2006 Nor'easter on November 21 across central Florida . The latest in the season that snow or sleet has fallen was on April 8 , 2007 . Snow flurries have been reported in the air ( not on the ground ) as far south as Homestead , during a January 19 , 1977 event . Thunderstorms ( edit ) Florida reports more thunderstorms than any other US state . Some places report in excess of 90 thunderstorm days per year , making Florida one of the most thundery regions outside of the tropics . Florida receives the highest density of lightning strikes within the United States . Several deaths per year are blamed on lightning , making lightning one of the deadliest weather - related phenomenon in the state . However , since 1992 , the number of lightning deaths has been slowly dropping despite a rising population , suggesting that lightning awareness programs are effective . The most likely targets of lightning strikes are construction workers and others who work outside , though 12 percent of the cases occurred indoors to people using electronic devices . Severe thunderstorms can sometimes produce hail , very strong straight line winds and tornadoes . Very heavy rainfall from thunderstorms can result in flash flooding . Thunderstorms occur most often during the summer but can occur at any time of the year . Tornadoes ( edit ) There are more tornadoes per square mile in Florida than any other state . However , these tornadoes tend to be much weaker and short - lived than in other states like the Midwest or Great Plains . Strong tornadoes do occasionally form in Florida , usually in conjunctions with a cold frontal passage in the winter or spring . A total of 42 people died in February 1998 from the deadliest such tornado outbreak in Central Florida , which occurred during the nighttime hours . While tornadoes in the Midwest are more severe , a higher rate of deaths are experienced in Florida , and Brevard County , specifically , due to higher population density and quantity of manufactured homes . Tropical cyclones ( edit ) Hurricane Wilma ( 2005 ) Main article : List of Florida hurricanes The earliest in the year a tropical cyclone has struck the sunshine state was the Groundhog Day Tropical Storm in 1952 . The latest impact was from a hurricane which struck near Tampa on December 1 , 1925 . The strongest hurricane to strike Florida was the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935 . Hurricane Easy in 1950 produced the wettest known point total from any tropical cyclone . The record number of hurricane strikes on the state in one season is four in 2004 . Hurricanes typically spawn tornadoes within their northeast quadrant . Tropical cyclones have affected Florida in every month of the year but March . Nearly one - third of the cyclones affected the state in September , and nearly three - fourths of the storms affected the state between August and October , which coincides with the peak of the hurricane season . Portions of the coastline have the lowest return period , or the frequency at which a certain intensity or category of hurricane can be expected within 86 mi ( 139 km ) of a given location , in the country . Monroe County was struck by 26 hurricanes since 1926 , which is the greatest total for any county in the United States . Effect of Climate cycles ( edit ) El Niño has the following effects on Florida climate : above average rainfall in the spring . This is followed by wildfire threat when rain dries up . Northern Florida is more susceptible to severe weather ; below normal temperatures , increased number of low pressure systems in the Gulf of Mexico during the winter , and `` almost always '' reduces the frequency of storms and hurricanes . La Niña has the following effects : often dry conditions prevail in late fall , winter and early spring , increased risk of wildfires in spring and summer months , the temperatures average slightly above normal , and the chance of hurricane activity increases substantially . Long term forecasts are made based on these effects . However , they are easily overridden , in winter , by the Arctic oscillation and North Atlantic oscillations , which can only be predicted about two weeks in advance . These can drop the temperature noticeably from seasonal norms . Climates of selected Florida cities ( edit ) The climate regime for much of the state is humid subtropical ( Köppen Cfa ) , though portions of the Gold Coast of southeast Florida , as well as all of the Florida Keys , qualify as tropical wet - and - dry ( Köppen Aw ) . A narrow eastern part of the state including Orlando and Jacksonville receives between 2,400 and 2,800 hours of sunshine annually . The rest of the state , including Miami , receives between 2,800 and 3,200 hours annually . hide Climate data for Pensacola , Florida Month Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Year Average

when does the rainy season end in south florida
[ "The climate of the north and central parts of the US state of Florida is humid subtropical. South Florida has a tropical climate.[1] There is a defined rainy season from May through October, when air mass thundershowers that build in the heat of the day drop heavy but brief summer rainfall. Late summer and early fall bring decaying tropical lows (and occasionally landfalling tropical cyclones) that contribute to late summer and early fall rains. \n" ]

You Belong to Me (1952 song)
You Belong to Me ( 1952 song ) - Wikipedia You Belong to Me ( 1952 song ) Jump to : navigation , search `` You Belong to Me '' Song Published 1953 Genre Pop Songwriter ( s ) Chilton Price , Pee Wee King , Redd Stewart `` You Belong to Me '' is a romantic pop music ballad from the 1950s . The singer reminds his or her beloved love interest , soulmate , or sweetheart that whatever exotic locales and sights he / she experiences , `` you belong to me '' no matter what happens . Contents ( hide ) 1 Conception and composition 2 History 3 Recorded versions 4 See also 5 References Conception and composition ( edit ) `` You Belong to Me '' is credited to three writers : Pee Wee King , Chilton Price and Redd Stewart . Price , a songwriting librarian at WAVE Radio Louisville , had written the song in its virtual entirety as `` Hurry Home to Me '' envisioning the song as an American woman 's plea to a sweetheart serving overseas in World War II . Afforded songwriting credit on the song mostly in exchange for their work in promoting it , King and Stewart did slightly adjust Price 's composition musically and lyrically , shifting the focus from a wartime background `` into a kind of universal song about separated lovers '' and changing the title to `` You Belong to Me . '' Price had previously had success with another hit which she had written , `` Slow Poke , '' under a similar arrangement with the two men . History ( edit ) This article needs additional citations for verification . Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( January 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The first 1952 recording of the song was by Joni James . She had seen the sheet music in the Woods Building in Chicago and the lyrics attracted her . She recorded the song in February , 1952 , in Chicago and it was released in March on the local Sharp Records label as her second single on August 5 , 1952 , after Jo Stafford , Patti Page and Dean Martin had covered it . James ' version also was issued on M-G-M Records for national distribution . The best - known early 1952 version of the song was recorded after James ' recording by Sue Thompson on Mercury 's country label as catalog number 6407 . It was soon covered by Patti Page , whose version was issued by Mercury as catalog number 5899 , with `` I Went to Your Wedding '' ( a bigger Patti Page hit , reaching No 1 ) on the flip side . It entered the Billboard chart on August 22 , 1952 , and lasted 12 weeks on the chart , peaking at No. 4 . A cover version by Jo Stafford became the most popular version . Issued by Columbia Records as catalog number 39811 , it was Stafford 's biggest hit , topping the charts in both the United States and the United Kingdom ( the first song by a female singer to top the UK Singles Chart ) . It first entered the US chart on August 1 , 1952 and remained there for 24 weeks . In the UK , it appeared in the first ever UK chart of 14 November 1952 ( then a top 12 ) and reached number 1 on 16 January 1953 , being only the second record to top such chart , remaining in the chart for a total of 19 weeks . Another cover version , by Dean Martin , released by Capitol Records as catalog number 2165 , was also in play at that time . This version first entered the chart on August 29 , 1952 , and remained on the chart for 10 weeks , reaching No. 12 . All the versions were combined in the rankings on the Cash Box charts , and the song reached No. 1 on those charts as well , lasting on the chart for more than half a year . In 1958 , the song crossed over into rock for the first time on the Capitol album Gene Vincent Rocks and the Blue Caps Roll . A later version of the song , by the Duprees , also made the Billboard Top 10 , reaching No. 7 in 1962 . It was recorded by many other pop vocalists , including Patsy Cline and Bing Crosby . A solo acoustic version was recorded by Bob Dylan for the 1992 album Good as I Been to You but was eventually left off as an out - take ; the recording surfaced two years later in the soundtrack for the 1994 film Natural Born Killers . A loop of Jo Stafford 's introduction was used by Caviar in `` The Good Times Are Over '' repeatedly throughout the song . The song has also appeared on many soundtracks . Vonda Shepard 's cover was used frequently on the TV series Ally McBeal alongside romantic scenes of Ally McBeal and Billy Thomas . A version by Jason Wade was part of the soundtrack to the 2001 animated film Shrek . Singer Tori Amos also recorded the classic for the Julia Roberts film Mona Lisa Smile in 2003 . Actress Rose McGowan sang it on the soundtrack for the Planet Terror segment of the 2007 film Grindhouse . While onscreen , Bette Midler sings a fragment of the song ( to Nick Nolte ) in the 1986 comedy Down and Out in Beverly Hills . On February 1 , 2007 , a short rendition of the song was sung by 64 - year - old Sherman Pore as an audition piece for the television show American Idol , as a tribute to his wife who had died from cancer two days before . Mary Higgins Clark referenced the song throughout her novel of the same name , which was published by Pocket Books on April 1 , 1999 . In the British film The Deep Blue Sea ( released 2011 ) , directed by Terence Davies , the drinkers in a London pub perform the song which later modulates into Jo Stafford 's version . The song was also featured in the 2013 video game BioShock Infinite as part of its Burial at Sea story add - on . In the game the song is performed by the lead character Elizabeth and sung by her voice actress , Courtnee Draper ; footage of Draper performing the song in the recording studio is shown during the game 's end credits . Annie Lennox recorded a slow , piano - driven version of the song for her 2014 release , Nostalgia .

Stimulus (physiology)
Stimulus ( Physiology. ) - wikipedia Stimulus ( Physiology. ) Jump to : navigation , search The light from the lamp ( 1 . ) functions as a detectable change in the plant 's environment . As a result , the plant exhibits a reaction of phototropism -- directional growth ( 2 . ) toward the light stimulus In physiology , a stimulus ( plural stimuli ) is a detectable change in the internal or external environment . The ability of an organism or organ to respond to external stimuli is called sensitivity . When a stimulus is applied to a sensory receptor , it normally elicits or influences a reflex via stimulus transduction . These sensory receptors can receive information from outside the body , as in touch receptors found in the skin or light receptors in the eye , as well as from inside the body , as in chemoreceptors and mechanoreceptors . An internal stimulus is often the first component of a homeostatic control system . External stimuli are capable of producing systemic responses throughout the body , as in the fight - or - flight response . In order for a stimulus to be detected with high probability , its level must exceed the absolute threshold ; if a signal does reach threshold , the information is transmitted to the central nervous system ( CNS ) , where it is integrated and a decision on how to react is made . Although stimuli commonly cause the body to respond , it is the CNS that finally determines whether a signal causes a reaction or not .

These stimuli are monitored closely by receptors and sensors in different parts of the body . These sensors are mechanoreceptors , chemoreceptors and thermoreceptors that , respectively , respond to pressure or stretching , chemical changes , or temperature changes . Examples of mechanoreceptors include baroreceptors which detect changes in blood pressure , Merkel 's discs which detect sustained touch and pressure , and hair cells which detect sound stimuli . Homeostatic imbalances that can serve as internal stimuli include nutrient and ion levels in the blood , oxygen levels , and water levels . Deviations from the homeostatic ideal may generate a homeostatic emotion , such as pain , thirst or fatigue , that motivates behavior that will restore the body to stasis ( such as withdrawal , drinking or resting ) . Blood pressure ( edit ) Blood pressure , heart rate , and cardiac output are measured by stretch receptors found in the carotid arteries . Nerves embed themselves within these receptors and when they detect stretching , they are stimulated and fire action potentials to the central nervous system . These impulses inhibit the constriction of blood vessels and lower the heart rate . If these nerves do not detect stretching , the body determines perceives low blood pressure as a dangerous stimulus and signals are not sent , preventing the inhibition CNS action ; blood vessels constrict and the heart rate increases , causing an increase in blood pressure in the body . External ( edit ) Touch and pain ( edit ) Sensory feelings , especially pain , are stimuli that can elicit a large response and cause neurological changes in the body . Pain also causes a behavioral change in the body , which is proportional to the intensity of the pain . The feeling is recorded by sensory receptors on the skin and travels to the central nervous system , where it is integrated and a decision on how to respond is made ; if it is decided that a response must be made , a signal is sent back down to a muscle , which acts appropriately according to the stimulus . The postcentral gyrus is the location of the primary somatosensory area , the main sensory receptive area for the sense of touch . Pain receptors are known as nociceptors . Two main types of nociceptors exist , A-fiber nociceptors and C - fiber nociceptors . A-fiber receptors are myelinated and conduct currents rapidly . They are mainly used to conduct fast and sharp types of pain . Conversely , C - fiber receptors are unmyelinated and slowly transmit . These receptors conduct slow , burning , diffuse pain . The absolute threshold for touch is the minimum amount of sensation needed to elicit a response from touch receptors . This amount of sensation has a definable value and is often considered to be the force exerted by dropping the wing of a bee onto your cheek from a distance of one centimeter . This value will change based on the body part being touched . Vision ( edit ) Vision provides opportunity for the brain to perceive and respond to changes occurring around the body . Information , or stimuli , in the form of light enters the retina , where it excites a special type of neuron called a photoreceptor cell . A local graded potential begins in the photoreceptor , where it excites the cell enough for the impulse to be passed along through a track of neurons to the central nervous system . As the signal travels from photoreceptors to larger neurons , action potentials must be created for the signal to have enough strength to reach the CNS . If the stimulus does not warrant a strong enough response , it is said to not reach absolute threshold , and the body does not react . However , if the stimulus is strong enough to create an action potential in neurons away from the photoreceptor , the body will integrate the information and react appropriately . Visual information is processed in the occipital lobe of the CNS , specifically in the primary visual cortex . The absolute threshold for vision is the minimum amount of sensation needed to elicit a response from photoreceptors in the eye . This amount of sensation has a definable value and is often considered to be the amount of light present from someone holding up a single candle 30 miles away , if one 's eyes were adjusted to the dark . Smell ( edit ) Smell allows the body to recognize chemical molecules in the air through inhalation . Olfactory organs located on either side of the nasal septum consist of olfactory epithelium and lamina propria . The olfactory epithelium , which contains olfactory receptor cells , covers the inferior surface of the cribiform plate , the superior portion of the perpendicular plate , the superior nasal concha . Only roughly two percent of airborne compounds inhaled are carried to olfactory organs as a small sample of the air being inhaled . Olfactory receptors extend past the epithelial surface providing a base for many cilia that lie in the surrounding mucus . Odorant - binding proteins interact with these cilia stimulating the receptors . Odorants are generally small organic molecules . Greater water and lipid solubility is related directly to stronger smelling odorants . Odorant binding to G protein coupled receptors activates adenylate cyclase , which converts ATP to camp . cAMP , in turn , promotes the opening of sodium channels resulting in a localized potential . The absolute threshold for smell is the minimum amount of sensation needed to elicit a response from receptors in the nose . This amount of sensation has a definable value and is often considered to be a single drop of perfume in a six - room house . This value will change depending on what substance is being smelled . Taste ( edit ) Taste records flavoring of food and other materials that pass across the tongue and through the mouth . Gustatory cells are located on the surface of the tongue and adjacent portions of the pharynx and larynx . Gustatory cells form on taste buds , specialized epithelial cells , and are generally turned over every ten days . From each cell , protrudes microvilli , sometimes called taste hairs , through also the taste pore and into the oral cavity . Dissolved chemicals interact with these receptor cells ; different tastes bind to specific receptors . Salt and sour receptors are chemically gated ion channels , which depolarize the cell . Sweet , bitter , and umami receptors are called gustducins , specialized G protein coupled receptors . Both divisions of receptor cells release neurotransmitters to afferent fibers causing action potential firing . The absolute threshold for taste is the minimum amount of sensation needed to elicit a response from receptors in the mouth . This amount of sensation has a definable value and is often considered to be a single drop of quinine sulfate in 250 gallons of water . Sound ( edit ) Changes in pressure caused by sound reaching the external ear resonate in the tympanic membrane , which articulates with the auditory ossicles , or the bones of the middle ear . These tiny bones multiply these pressure fluctuations as they pass the disturbance into the cochlea , a spiral - shaped bony structure within the inner ear . Hair cells in the cochlear duct , specifically the organ of Corti , are deflected as waves of fluid and membrane motion travel through the chambers of the cochlea . Bipolar sensory neurons located in the center of the cochlea monitor the information from these receptor cells and pass it on to the brainstem via the cochlear branch of cranial nerve VIII . Sound information is processed in the temporal lobe of the CNS , specifically in the primary auditory cortex . The absolute threshold for sound is the minimum amount of sensation needed to elicit a response from receptors in the ears . This amount of sensation has a definable value and is often considered to be a watch ticking in an otherwise soundless environment 20 feet away . Equilibrium ( edit ) Semi circular ducts , which are connected directly to the cochlea , can interpret and convey to the brain information about equilibrium by a similar method as the one used for hearing . Hair cells in these parts of the ear protrude kinocilia and stereocilia into a gelatinous material that lines the ducts of this canal . In parts of these semi circular canals , specifically the maculae , calcium carbonate crystals known as statoconia rest on the surface of this gelatinous material . When tilting the head or when the body undergoes linear acceleration , these crystals move disturbing the cilia of the hair cells and , consequently , affecting the release of neurotransmitter to be taken up by surrounding sensory nerves . In other areas of the semi circular canal , specifically the ampulla , a structure known as the cupula -- analogous to the gelatinous material in the maculae -- distorts hair cells in a similar fashion when the fluid medium that surrounds it causes the cupula itself to move . The ampulla communicates to the brain information about the head 's horizontal rotation . Neurons of the adjacent vestibular ganglia monitor the hair cells in these ducts . These sensory fibers form the vestibular branch of the cranial nerve VIII . Cellular response ( edit ) In general , cellular response to stimuli is defined as a change in state or activity of a cell in terms of movement , secretion , enzyme production , or gene expression . Receptors on cell surfaces are sensing components that monitor stimuli and respond to changes in the environment by relaying the signal to a control center for further processing and response . Stimuli are always converted into electrical signals via transduction . This electrical signal , or receptor potential , takes a specific pathway through the nervous system to initiate a systematic response . Each type of receptor is specialized to respond preferentially to only one kind of stimulus energy , called the adequate stimulus . Sensory receptors have a well - defined range of stimuli to which they respond , and each is tuned to the particular needs of the organism . Stimuli are relayed throughout the body by mechanotransduction or chemotransduction , depending on the nature of the stimulus . Mechanical ( edit ) In response to a mechanical stimulus , cellular sensors of force are proposed to be extracellular matrix molecules , cytoskeleton , transmembrane proteins , proteins at the membrane - phospholipid interface , elements of the nuclear matrix , chromatin , and the lipid bilayer . Response can be twofold : the extracellular matrix , for example , is a conductor of mechanical forces but its structure and composition is also influenced by the cellular responses to those same applied or endogenously generated forces . Mechanosensitive ion channels are found in many cell types and it has been shown that the permeability of these channels to cations is affected by stretch receptors and mechanical stimuli . This permeability of ion channels is the basis for the conversion of the mechanical stimulus into an electrical signal ... Chemical ( edit ) Chemical stimuli , such as odorants , are received by cellular receptors that are often coupled to ion channels responsible for chemotransduction . Such is the case in olfactory cells . Depolarization in these cells result from opening of non-selective cation channels upon binding of the odorant to the specific receptor . G protein - coupled receptors in the plasma membrane of these cells can initiate second messenger pathways that cause cation channels to open . In response to stimuli , the sensory receptor initiates sensory transduction by creating graded potentials or action potentials in the same cell or in an adjacent one . Sensitivity to stimuli is obtained by chemical amplification through second messenger pathways in which enzymatic cascades produce large numbers of intermediate products , increasing the effect of one receptor molecule . Systematic response ( edit ) Nervous - system response ( edit ) Though receptors and stimuli are varied , most extrinsic stimuli first generate localized graded potentials in the neurons associated with the specific sensory organ or tissue . In the nervous system , internal and external stimuli can elicit two different categories of responses : an excitatory response , normally in the form of an action potential , and an inhibitory response . When a neuron is stimulated by an excitatory impulse , neuronal dendrites are bound by neurotransmitters which cause the cell to become permeable to a specific type of ion ; the type of neurotransmitter determines to which ion the neurotransmitter will become permeable . In excitatory postsynaptic potentials , an excitatory response is generated . This is caused by an excitatory neurotransmitter , normally glutamate binding to a neuron 's dendrites , causing an influx of sodium ions through channels located near the binding site . This change in membrane permeability in the dendrites is known as a local graded potential and causes the membrane voltage to change from a negative resting potential to a more positive voltage , a process known as depolarization . The opening of sodium channels allows nearby sodium channels to open , allowing the change in permeability to spread from the dendrites to the cell body . If a graded potential is strong enough , or if several graded potentials occur in a fast enough frequency , the depolarization is able to spread across the cell body to the axon hillock . From the axon hillock , an action potential can be generated and propagated down the neuron 's axon , causing sodium ion channels in the axon to open as the impulse travels . Once the signal begins to travel down the axon , the membrane potential has already passed threshold , which means that it can not be stopped . This phenomenon is known as an all - or - nothing response . Groups of sodium channels opened by the change in membrane potential strengthen the signal as it travels away from the axon hillock , allowing it to move the length of the axon . As the depolarization reaches the end of the axon , or the axon terminal , the end of the neuron becomes permeable to calcium ions , which enters the cell via calcium ion channels . Calcium causes the release of neurotransmitters stored in synaptic vesicles , which enter the synapse between two neurons known as the presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons ; if the signal from the presynaptic neuron is excitatory , it will cause the release of an excitatory neurotransmitter , causing a similar response in the postsynaptic neuron . These neurons may communicate with thousands of other receptors and target cells through extensive , complex dendritic networks . Communication between receptors in this fashion enables discrimination and the more explicit interpretation of external stimuli . Effectively , these localized graded potentials trigger action potentials that communicate , in their frequency , along nerve axons eventually arriving in specific cortexes of the brain . In these also highly specialized parts of the brain , these signals are coordinated with others to possibly trigger a new response . If a signal from the presynaptic neuron is inhibitory , inhibitory neurotransmitters , normally GABA will be released into the synapse . This neurotransmitter causes an inhibitory postsynaptic potential in the postsynaptic neuron . This response will cause the postsynaptic neuron to become permeable to chloride ions , making the membrane potential of the cell negative ; a negative membrane potential makes it more difficult for the cell to fire an action potential and prevents any signal from being passed on through the neuron . Depending on the type of stimulus , a neuron can be either excitatory or inhibitory . Muscular - system response ( edit ) Nerves in the peripheral nervous system spread out to various parts of the body , including muscle fibers . A muscle fiber and the motor neuron to which it is connected . The spot at which the motor neuron attaches to the muscle fiber is known as the neuromuscular junction . When muscles receive information from internal or external stimuli , muscle fibers are stimulated by their respective motor neuron . Impulses are passed from the central nervous system down neurons until they reach the motor neuron , which releases the neurotransmitter acetylcholine ( ACh ) into the neuromuscular junction . ACh binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors on the surface of the muscle cell and opens ion channels , allowing sodium ions to flow into the cell and potassium ions to flow out ; this ion movement causes a depolarization , which allows for the release of calcium ions within the cell . Calcium ions bind to proteins within the muscle cell to allow for muscle contraction ; the ultimate consequence of a stimulus . Endocrine - system response ( edit ) Vasopressin ( edit ) The endocrine system is affected largely by many internal and external stimuli . One internal stimulus that causes hormone release is blood pressure . Hypotension , or low blood pressure , is a large driving force for the release of vasopressin , a hormone which causes the retention of water in the kidneys . This process also increases an individuals thirst . By fluid retention or by consuming fluids , if an individual 's blood pressure returns to normal , vasopressin release slows and less fluid is retained by the kidneys . Hypovolemia , or low fluid levels in the body , can also act as a stimulus to cause this response . Epinephrine ( edit ) Epinephrine , also known as adrenaline , is also used commonly to respond to both internal and external changes . One common cause of the release of this hormone is the Fight - or - flight response . When the body encounters an external stimulus that is potentially dangerous , epinephrine is released from the adrenal glands . Epinephrine causes physiological changes in the body , such as constriction of blood vessels , dilation of pupils , increased heart and respiratory rate , and the metabolism of glucose . All of these responses to a single stimuli aid in protecting the individual , whether the decision is made to stay and fight , or run away and avoid danger . Digestive - system response ( edit ) Cephalic phase ( edit ) The digestive system can respond to external stimuli , such as the sight or smell of food , and cause physiological changes before the food ever enters the body . This reflex is known as the cephalic phase of digestion . The sight and smell of food are strong enough stimuli to cause salivation , gastric and pancreatic enzyme secretion , and endocrine secretion in preparation for the incoming nutrients ; by starting the digestive process before food reaches the stomach , the body is able to more effectively and efficiently metabolize food into necessary nutrients . Once food hits the mouth , taste and information from receptors in the mouth add to the digestive response . Chemoreceptors and mechanorceptors , activated by chewing and swallowing , further increase the enzyme release in the stomach and intestine . Enteric nervous system ( edit ) The digestive system is also able to respond to internal stimuli . The digestive tract , or enteric nervous system alone contains millions of neurons . These neurons act as sensory receptors that can detect changes , such as food entering the small intestine , in the digestive tract . Depending on what these sensory receptors detect , certain enzymes and digestive juices from the pancreas and liver can be secreted to aid in metabolism and breakdown of food . Methods and techniques ( edit ) Clamping techniques ( edit ) Intracellular measurements of electrical potential across the membrane can be obtained by microelectrode recording . Patch clamp techniques allow for the manipulation of the intracellular or extracellular ionic or lipid concentration while still recording potential . In this way , the effect of various conditions on threshold and propagation can be assessed . Noninvasive neuronal scanning ( edit ) Positron emission tomography ( PET ) and magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI ) permit the noninvasive visualization of activated regions of the brain while the test subject is exposed to different stimuli . Activity is monitored in relation to blood flow to a particular region of the brain . Hindlimb withdrawal time ( edit ) Sorin Barac et al. in a recent paper published in the Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery monitored the response of test rats to pain stimuli by inducing an acute , external heat stimulus and measuring hindlimb withdrawal times ( HLWT ) .

Claudia Wells - wikipedia Claudia Wells Claudia Wells Wells in 2015 Claudia Grace Wells ( 1966 - 07 - 05 ) July 5 , 1966 ( age 52 ) Kuala Lumpur , Malaysia Occupation Actress Years active 1979 -- 1987 , 1996 -- present Children Website claudiawells.com Claudia Grace Wells ( born July 5 , 1966 ) is an American actress best known for her role as Jennifer Parker in the film Back to the Future ( 1985 ) . Contents 1 Life and career 1.1 Return to acting 2 Filmography 2.1 Film 2.2 Television 2.3 Video games 3 References 4 External links Life and career ( edit ) Born in Kuala Lumpur , Claudia Wells grew up in San Francisco , California , and moved to Los Angeles at the age of 14 . She later graduated from Beverly Hills High School . She started acting with appearances in TV shows . Wells played Jennifer Parker , Marty McFly 's girlfriend , in the 1985 film Back to the Future . She almost did not end up in the first film of the successful franchise . According to Wells , she had been cast , but a pilot she had done for ABC had been picked up , and she was contractually forced to drop out of Back to the Future . During that time , Eric Stoltz had been shooting for five weeks in the role of Marty McFly . Melora Hardin was slated for the role of Jennifer , though she never actually filmed any scenes . The producers halted filming and replaced Stoltz with Michael J. Fox . By then , Wells ' pilot had been finished and she was recast as Jennifer , now shooting alongside Fox , never having filmed a frame with Stoltz . After her mother was diagnosed with cancer , Wells said family took precedence and told the studio she would not be available to reprise the role for the two sequels ; actress Elisabeth Shue replaced her . That same year ( 1985 ) , Wells co-starred in Stop the Madness , an anti-drug music video sponsored by the Reagan administration , featuring several famous musicians , actors and athletes . The following year , she appeared in the TV movie Babies Having Babies , and the short - lived series Fast Times , a TV adaptation of the 1982 film Fast Times at Ridgemont High ( Wells played Linda Barrett , portrayed by Phoebe Cates in the film ) . Following Fast Times , she did not again appear on - screen until the 1996 independent film Still Waters Burn ( released on DVD February 12 , 2008 ) . Return to acting ( edit ) After a lengthy absence , Wells returned to acting in 2011 with a small role in the independent science - fiction film Alien Armageddon . The same year Wells had the opportunity to reprise her role from Back to the Future , 26 years after her last appearance in the series . She provided the voice of Jennifer Parker for Back to the Future : The Game . Wells announced that her next project would be a horror film titled Room & Board .

After its announcement on March 21 , 2017 , conflicting naming conventions spawned a number of different names , including seventh - generation iPad or iPad 2017 . It retains the screen size of the iPad Air line of tablets , and is more powerful than iPad Air 2 , even as its overall dimensions and weight are more similar to the original iPad Air . Unlike the iPad Air 2 , this generation of iPad does not have a fully laminated display and lacks an anti-reflective coating . Unlike the iPad Pro , it does not have a Smart Connector and only features a dual - speaker system . The iPad received mixed reviews . It was significantly praised for performance , with reviewers asserting that the model is noticeably faster than older iPad models , and it also received positive reviews for its price and battery life . It was criticized , however , for lacking a laminated and anti-reflective screen , and lack of support for Apple Pencil and attachable keyboards through the Smart Connector . Its introductory price in the United States was the lowest ever for an iPad , with the media noting that the lower price might be an effort to encourage wider adoption of the tablet in the education sector , as well as for businesses needing inexpensive tablets for undemanding uses . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 1.1 Pricing strategies 2 Specifications 2.1 Software 2.2 Hardware 3 Reception 4 Timeline 5 References 6 External links History ( edit ) The iPad was announced by Apple on March 21 , 2017 in a press release . There has been confusion around its naming , being referred to as just `` iPad '' in marketing , but called the `` fifth - generation iPad '' in official statements and specifications sheets , a title previously taken by 2013 's iPad Air . Other sources refer to it as the `` seventh - generation iPad '' , when including the iPad Air and iPad Air 2 as the fifth - and sixth - generation iPads respectively . It has also been referred to as `` iPad 2017 '' . Pricing strategies ( edit ) Matt Kapko of CIO wrote that Apple 's introductory pricing of $329 in the United States for the iPad , a $70 price reduction versus the iPad Air 2 , appeared designed to fend off the encroachment of Google 's Chromebook laptops in the education sector and to foster wider adoption in customer - facing terminals . Kapko also wrote that the device is designed to appeal to businesses that require inexpensive tablets for undemanding use , including as kiosks , checkout terminals , and hospitality screens . Specifications ( edit ) Software ( edit ) See also : iOS , iOS 10 , and iOS 11 At the time of its original release , the iPad shipped with iOS 10 , a version of Apple 's mobile operating system . New units sold come with the new iOS 11 operating system instead . The included Touch ID fingerprint sensor allows the user to unlock the device as well as approve purchases from the App Store , iTunes Store , and iBooks Store . Touch ID and Apple Pay let the user purchase items from websites or from within apps . Hardware ( edit ) The iPad has a 9.7 - inch screen . Compared to the iPad Air 2 , the processor is updated from the Apple A8X to the A9 with the embedded Apple M9 motion co-processor . The iPad has 2 gigabytes of RAM . It is 7.5 mm thick , which is the same thickness as the iPad Air , compared to 6.1 mm of the iPad Air 2 . Unlike other iPad models available , this iPad 's display is not fully laminated and does not have anti-reflective coating . However , this iPad has a brighter screen than the iPad Air 2 ( 25 % brighter according to Apple ) . It is available in 32 and 128 gigabyte storage options . Contrasting with the iPad Pro lineup , this iPad features only two speakers ( as opposed to four ) , has no Smart Connector support , and has no flash on the back . It is offered in silver , gold , and space grey colors . Despite its use of the Apple A9 processor and accompanying M9 motion co-processor , introduced with the iPhone 6S in 2015 , the iPad does not feature support for always - on `` Hey Siri '' voice input , a feature advertised as being made possible by low - power processing in the then - new chips . The use of `` Hey Siri '' is limited to when the iPad is connected to power . A product teardown by iFixit showed that the design of this iPad is nearly identical to the iPad Air except for a few differences : the addition of Touch ID , the lack of the physical mute switch , the microphone holes are smaller and there is only a single row of speaker holes . Reception ( edit ) Dieter Bohn of The Verge wrote that `` it is a thin , fast tablet '' , and praised the screen for being `` very good '' , despite not having `` the fancy True Tone display that the iPad Pro does , nor does it have some of the things that made the screen on the iPad Air 2 so nice : lamination and anti-reflectivity '' . He criticized the lack of support for attachable keyboards and Apple Pencil , while praising the A9 processor as `` significantly faster than older iPads '' , though noting that it is n't `` necessarily significantly faster than the iPad Air 2 '' , and `` not as fast as the iPad Pro '' . He also disliked that the iPad only features two speakers , as opposed to four on the iPad Pro , while summarizing the overall review with `` Fundamentally , what I am trying to tell you is that this is an iPad . You trust that iPads are decent tablets and that they have a basic level of quality , speed , and functionality '' and `` Get one if you need one , but do n't stress that you 're missing out if you do n't . '' Sascha Segan of PC Magazine wrote that `` The Apple iPad is more affordable than ever '' and noted that `` While there 's little reason for existing iPad owners to upgrade , the new iPad 's price stabs a stake into the heart of many competing Android tablets '' . Although criticizing the non-laminated display for being `` a little more washed out than its predecessor '' , he claimed that he `` could n't see a measurable difference '' and that it 's `` a nominal degradation in quality that does n't really matter in everyday use '' . Segan also praised performance compared to the prior iPad models , and also praised improved Wi - Fi performance , writing that it is `` quite impressive '' with `` double the Wi - Fi speeds on the new iPad than I did on the Air 2 '' . Jeff Benjamin of 9to5Mac wrote that `` Sure , it lacks the gorgeous laminated , anti-reflective display of the iPad Air 2 , and sure it 's not as svelte in either thickness or weight . But there 's no denying that the 2017 iPad with A9 dual core processor in tow , is a good value '' . He described the tablet as a `` solid buy for upgraders and new users '' . Igor Bonifacic of MobileSyrup also praised the performance , as well as number of iPad apps available , but criticized the camera for being outdated and keyboard / Pencil incompatibility , with a summarization reading : `` The 2017 iPad is not an exciting tablet . But then it 's not supposed to be exciting , ( ... ) Apple 's latest tablet is an iterative update designed to appeal to a specific subset of consumers '' . Bonifacic also called the tablet `` perfect for first - time tablet buyers '' . Chris Velazco of Engadget praised battery life , describing it as `` one of the best iPads we 've tested '' , but also criticized the lack of anti-reflection on the display , calling it `` another cost - saving measure that I wish Apple had reconsidered '' .

Chile ( / ˈtʃɪli / ; Spanish : ( ˈtʃile ) ) , officially the Republic of Chile ( Spanish : República de Chile ( help info ) ) , is a South American country occupying a long , narrow strip of land between the Andes to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west . It borders Peru to the north , Bolivia to the northeast , Argentina to the east , and the Drake Passage in the far south . Chilean territory includes the Pacific islands of Juan Fernández , Salas y Gómez , Desventuradas , and Easter Island in Oceania . Chile also claims about 1,250,000 square kilometres ( 480,000 sq mi ) of Antarctica , although all claims are suspended under the Antarctic Treaty . The arid Atacama Desert in northern Chile contains great mineral wealth , principally copper . The relatively small central area dominates in terms of population and agricultural resources , and is the cultural and political center from which Chile expanded in the late 19th century when it incorporated its northern and southern regions . Southern Chile is rich in forests and grazing lands , and features a string of volcanoes and lakes . The southern coast is a labyrinth of fjords , inlets , canals , twisting peninsulas , and islands . Spain conquered and colonized the region in the mid-16th century , replacing Inca rule in the north and centre , but failing to conquer the independent Mapuche who inhabited what is now south - central Chile . After declaring its independence from Spain in 1818 , Chile emerged in the 1830s as a relatively stable authoritarian republic . In the 19th century , Chile saw significant economic and territorial growth , ending Mapuche resistance in the 1880s and gaining its current northern territory in the War of the Pacific ( 1879 -- 83 ) after defeating Peru and Bolivia . In the 1960s and 1970s the country experienced severe left - right political polarization and turmoil . This development culminated with the 1973 Chilean coup d'état that overthrew Salvador Allende 's democratically elected left - wing government and instituted a 16 - year - long right - wing military dictatorship that left more than 3,000 people dead or missing . The regime , headed by Augusto Pinochet , ended in 1990 after it lost a referendum in 1988 and was succeeded by a center - left coalition which ruled through four presidencies until 2010 . Chile is today one of South America 's most economically and socially stable and prosperous nations , with a high - income economy and high living standards . It leads Latin American nations in rankings of human development , competitiveness , income per capita , globalization , state of peace , economic freedom , and low perception of corruption . It also ranks high regionally in sustainability of the state , and democratic development . Chile is the only South American member of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ( OECD ) , joining in 2010 . Currently it also has the lowest homicide rate in South America . Chile is a founding member of the United Nations , the Union of South American Nations ( UNASUR ) and the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States ( CELAC ) .

According to 17th - century Spanish chronicler Diego de Rosales , the Incas called the valley of the Aconcagua `` Chili '' by corruption of the name of a Picunche tribal chief ( `` cacique '' ) called Tili , who ruled the area at the time of the Incan conquest in the 15th century . Another theory points to the similarity of the valley of the Aconcagua with that of the Casma Valley in Peru , where there was a town and valley named Chili . Other theories say Chile may derive its name from a Native American word meaning either `` ends of the earth '' or `` sea gulls '' ; from the Mapuche word chilli , which may mean `` where the land ends ; '' or from the Quechua chiri , `` cold '' , or tchili , meaning either `` snow '' or `` the deepest point of the Earth '' . Another origin attributed to chilli is the onomatopoeic cheele - cheele -- the Mapuche imitation of the warble of a bird locally known as trile . The Spanish conquistadors heard about this name from the Incas , and the few survivors of Diego de Almagro 's first Spanish expedition south from Peru in 1535 -- 36 called themselves the `` men of Chilli '' . Ultimately , Almagro is credited with the universalization of the name Chile , after naming the Mapocho valley as such . The older spelling `` Chili '' was in use in English until at least 1900 before switching to `` Chile '' . History Main article : History of Chile Early History Stone tool evidence indicates humans sporadically frequented the Monte Verde valley area as long as 18,500 years ago . About 10,000 years ago , migrating Native Americans settled in fertile valleys and coastal areas of what is present - day Chile . Settlement sites from very early human habitation include Monte Verde , Cueva del Milodón and the Pali - Aike Crater 's lava tube . The Incas briefly extended their empire into what is now northern Chile , but the Mapuche ( or Araucanians as they were known by the Spaniards ) successfully resisted many attempts by the Inca Empire to subjugate them , despite their lack of state organization . They fought against the Sapa Inca Tupac Yupanqui and his army . The result of the bloody three - day confrontation known as the Battle of the Maule was that the Inca conquest of the territories of Chile ended at the Maule river . Spanish colonization Main articles : Conquest of Chile and Colonial Chile Lautaro , toqui and hero of the Arauco war Pedro de Valdivia , conqueror of Chile In 1520 , while attempting to circumnavigate the globe , Ferdinand Magellan discovered the southern passage now named after him ( the Strait of Magellan ) thus becoming the first European to set foot on what is now Chile . The next Europeans to reach Chile were Diego de Almagro and his band of Spanish conquistadors , who came from Peru in 1535 seeking gold . The Spanish encountered various cultures that supported themselves principally through slash - and - burn agriculture and hunting . The conquest of Chile began in earnest in 1540 and was carried out by Pedro de Valdivia , one of Francisco Pizarro 's lieutenants , who founded the city of Santiago on 12 February 1541 . Although the Spanish did not find the extensive gold and silver they sought , they recognized the agricultural potential of Chile 's central valley , and Chile became part of the Spanish Empire . Conquest took place gradually , and the Europeans suffered repeated setbacks . A massive Mapuche insurrection that began in 1553 resulted in Valdivia 's death and the destruction of many of the colony 's principal settlements . Subsequent major insurrections took place in 1598 and in 1655 . Each time the Mapuche and other native groups revolted , the southern border of the colony was driven northward . The abolition of slavery by the Spanish crown in 1683 was done in recognition that enslaving the Mapuche intensified resistance rather than cowing them into submission . Despite royal prohibitions , relations remained strained from continual colonialist interference . Cut off to the north by desert , to the south by the Mapuche , to the east by the Andes Mountains , and to the west by the ocean , Chile became one of the most centralized , homogeneous colonies in Spanish America . Serving as a sort of frontier garrison , the colony found itself with the mission of forestalling encroachment by both the Mapuche and Spain 's European enemies , especially the British and the Dutch . Buccaneers and English adventurers menaced the colony in addition to the Mapuche , as was shown by Sir Francis Drake 's 1578 raid on Valparaíso , the colony 's principal port . Chile hosted one of the largest standing armies in the Americas , making it one of the most militarized of the Spanish possessions , as well as a drain on the treasury of the Viceroyalty of Peru . The first general census was conducted by the government of Agustín de Jáuregui between 1777 and 1778 ; it indicated that the population consisted of 259,646 inhabitants : 73.5 percent of European descent , 7.9 percent mestizos , 8.6 percent indigenous peoples and 9.8 percent blacks . Francisco Hurtado , Governor of the province of Chiloé , conducted a census in 1784 and found the population consisted of 26,703 inhabitants , 64.4 percent of whom were whites and 33.5 percent of whom were natives . The Diocese of Concepción conducted a census in areas south of the Maule river in 1812 , but did not include the indigenous population or the inhabitants of the province of Chiloé . The population is estimated at 210,567 , 86.1 percent of whom were Spanish or of European descent , 10 percent of whom were indigenous and 3.7 percent of whom were mestizos , blacks and mulattos . Independence and nation building See also : Chilean War of Independence , War of the Pacific , and Argentine -- Chilean naval arms race Bernardo O'Higgins , Libertador and the Supreme Director of Chile In 1808 , Napoleon 's enthronement of his brother Joseph as the Spanish King precipitated the drive by the colony for independence from Spain . A national junta in the name of Ferdinand -- heir to the deposed king -- was formed on 18 September 1810 . The Government Junta of Chile proclaimed Chile an autonomous republic within the Spanish monarchy ( in memory of this day , Chile celebrates its National Day on 18 September each year ) . After these events , a movement for total independence , under the command of José Miguel Carrera ( one of the most renowned patriots ) and his two brothers Juan José and Luis Carrera , soon gained a wider following . Spanish attempts to re-impose arbitrary rule during what was called the Reconquista led to a prolonged struggle , including infighting from Bernardo O'Higgins , who challenged Carrera 's leadership . Intermittent warfare continued until 1817 . With Carrera in prison in Argentina , O'Higgins and anti-Carrera cohort José de San Martín , hero of the Argentine War of Independence , led an army that crossed the Andes into Chile and defeated the royalists . On 12 February 1818 , Chile was proclaimed an independent republic . The political revolt brought little social change , however , and 19th - century Chilean society preserved the essence of the stratified colonial social structure , which was greatly influenced by family politics and the Roman Catholic Church . A strong presidency eventually emerged , but wealthy landowners remained powerful . Chile slowly started to expand its influence and to establish its borders . By the Tantauco Treaty , the archipelago of Chiloé was incorporated in 1826 . The economy began to boom due to the discovery of silver ore in Chañarcillo , and the growing trade of the port of Valparaíso , which led to conflict over maritime supremacy in the Pacific with Peru . At the same time , attempts were made to strengthen sovereignty in southern Chile intensifying penetration into Araucanía and colonizing Llanquihue with German immigrants in 1848 . Through the founding of Fort Bulnes by the Schooner Ancud under the command of John Williams Wilson , the Magallanes region joined the country in 1843 , while the Antofagasta region , at the time part of Bolivia , began to fill with people . The Battle of Iquique on 21 May 1879 . The victory of Chile in the War of the Pacific allowed its expansion into new territories . Toward the end of the 19th century , the government in Santiago consolidated its position in the south by the Occupation of Araucanía . The Boundary treaty of 1881 between Chile and Argentina confirmed Chilean sovereignty over the Strait of Magellan . As a result of the War of the Pacific with Peru and Bolivia ( 1879 -- 83 ) , Chile expanded its territory northward by almost one - third , eliminating Bolivia 's access to the Pacific , and acquired valuable nitrate deposits , the exploitation of which led to an era of national affluence . Chile had joined the stand as one of the high - income countries in South America by 1870 . The 1891 Chilean Civil War brought about a redistribution of power between the President and Congress , and Chile established a parliamentary style democracy . However , the Civil War had also been a contest between those who favored the development of local industries and powerful Chilean banking interests , particularly the House of Edwards who had strong ties to foreign investors . Soon after , the country engaged in a vastly expensive naval arms race with Argentina that nearly led to war . 20th century See also : Parliamentary Era in Chile , 1960 Valdivia earthquake , and South American dreadnought race Chile 's Almirante Latorre dreadnought in 1921 The Chilean economy partially degenerated into a system protecting the interests of a ruling oligarchy . By the 1920s , the emerging middle and working classes were powerful enough to elect a reformist president , Arturo Alessandri , whose program was frustrated by a conservative congress . In the 1920s , Marxist groups with strong popular support arose . A military coup led by General Luis Altamirano in 1924 set off a period of political instability that lasted until 1932 . Of the ten governments that held power in that period , the longest lasting was that of General Carlos Ibáñez del Campo , who briefly held power in 1925 and then again between 1927 and 1931 in what was a de facto dictatorship ( although not really comparable in harshness or corruption to the type of military dictatorship that has often bedeviled the rest of Latin America ) . By relinquishing power to a democratically elected successor , Ibáñez del Campo retained the respect of a large enough segment of the population to remain a viable politician for more than thirty years , in spite of the vague and shifting nature of his ideology . When constitutional rule was restored in 1932 , a strong middle - class party , the Radicals , emerged . It became the key force in coalition governments for the next 20 years . During the period of Radical Party dominance ( 1932 -- 52 ) , the state increased its role in the economy . In 1952 , voters returned Ibáñez del Campo to office for another six years . Jorge Alessandri succeeded Ibáñez del Campo in 1958 , bringing Chilean conservatism back into power democratically for another term . The 1964 presidential election of Christian Democrat Eduardo Frei Montalva by an absolute majority initiated a period of major reform . Under the slogan `` Revolution in Liberty '' , the Frei administration embarked on far - reaching social and economic programs , particularly in education , housing , and agrarian reform , including rural unionization of agricultural workers . By 1967 , however , Frei encountered increasing opposition from leftists , who charged that his reforms were inadequate , and from conservatives , who found them excessive . At the end of his term , Frei had not fully achieved his party 's ambitious goals . Salvador Allende In the 1970 election , Senator Salvador Allende of the Socialist Party of Chile ( then part of the `` Popular Unity '' coalition which included the Communists , Radicals , Social - Democrats , dissident Christian Democrats , the Popular Unitary Action Movement , and the Independent Popular Action ) , achieved a partial majority in a plurality of votes in a three - way contest , followed by candidates Radomiro Tomic for the Christian Democrat Party and Jorge Alessandri for the Conservative Party . Allende was not elected with an absolute majority , receiving fewer than 35 percent of votes . The Chilean Congress conducted a runoff vote between the leading candidates , Allende and former president Jorge Alessandri , and , keeping with tradition , chose Allende by a vote of 153 to 35 . Frei refused to form an alliance with Alessandri to oppose Allende , on the grounds that the Christian Democrats were a workers ' party and could not make common cause with the right wing . An economic depression that began in 1972 was exacerbated by capital flight , plummeting private investment , and withdrawal of bank deposits in response to Allende 's socialist program . Production fell and unemployment rose . Allende adopted measures including price freezes , wage increases , and tax reforms , to increase consumer spending and redistribute income downward . Joint public - private public works projects helped reduce unemployment . Much of the banking sector was nationalized . Many enterprises within the copper , coal , iron , nitrate , and steel industries were expropriated , nationalized , or subjected to state intervention . Industrial output increased sharply and unemployment fell during the Allende administration 's first year . Allende 's program included advancement of workers ' interests , replacing the judicial system with `` socialist legality '' , nationalization of banks and forcing others to bankruptcy , and strengthening `` popular militias '' known as MIR . Started under former President Frei , the Popular Unity platform also called for nationalization of Chile 's major copper mines in the form of a constitutional amendment . The measure was passed unanimously by Congress . As a result , the Richard Nixon administration organized and inserted secret operatives in Chile , in order to swiftly destabilize Allende 's government . In addition , US financial pressure restricted international economic credit to Chile . The economic problems were also exacerbated by Allende 's public spending which was financed mostly by printing money and poor credit ratings given by commercial banks . Simultaneously , opposition media , politicians , business guilds and other organizations helped to accelerate a campaign of domestic political and economical destabilization , some of which was backed by the United States . By early 1973 , inflation was out of control . The crippled economy was further battered by prolonged and sometimes simultaneous strikes by physicians , teachers , students , truck owners , copper workers , and the small business class . On 26 May 1973 , Chile 's Supreme Court , which was opposed to Allende 's government , unanimously denounced the Allende disruption of the legality of the nation . Although illegal under the Chilean constitution , the court supported and strengthened Pinochet 's soon - to - be seizure of power . Pinochet era ( 1973 -- 1990 ) Fighter jets bombing the Presidential Palace of La Moneda during the Chilean coup of 1973 Main articles : Military government of Chile ( 1973 -- 90 ) , Miracle of Chile , and Beagle conflict A military coup overthrew Allende on 11 September 1973 . As the armed forces bombarded the presidential palace , Allende apparently committed suicide . After the coup , Henry Kissinger told U.S. president Richard Nixon that the United States had `` helped '' the coup . Augusto Pinochet A military junta , led by General Augusto Pinochet , took control of the country . The first years of the regime were marked by human rights violations . On October 1973 , at least 72 people were murdered by the Caravan of Death . According to the Rettig Report and Valech Commission , at least 2,115 were killed , and at least 27,265 were tortured ( including 88 children younger than 12 years old ) . In 2011 , Chile recognized an additional 9,800 victims , bringing the total number of killed , tortured or imprisoned for political reasons to 40,018 . At the national stadium , filled with detainees , one of those tortured and killed was internationally known poet - singer Víctor Jara ( see `` Music and Dance '' , below ) . The stadium was renamed for Jara in 2003 . A new Constitution was approved by a controversial plebiscite on 11 September 1980 , and General Pinochet became president of the republic for an eight - year term . After Pinochet obtained rule of the country , several hundred committed Chilean revolutionaries joined the Sandinista army in Nicaragua , guerrilla forces in Argentina or training camps in Cuba , Eastern Europe and Northern Africa . In the late 1980s , largely as a result of events such as the 1982 economic collapse and mass civil resistance in 1983 -- 88 , the government gradually permitted greater freedom of assembly , speech , and association , to include trade union and political activity . The government launched market - oriented reforms with Hernán Büchi as Minister of Finance . Chile moved toward a free market economy that saw an increase in domestic and foreign private investment , although the copper industry and other important mineral resources were not opened for competition . In a plebiscite on 5 October 1988 , Pinochet was denied a second eight - year term as president ( 56 % against 44 % ) . Chileans elected a new president and the majority of members of a bicameral congress on 14 December 1989 . Christian Democrat Patricio Aylwin , the candidate of a coalition of 17 political parties called the Concertación , received an absolute majority of votes ( 55 % ) . President Aylwin served from 1990 to 1994 , in what was considered a transition period . 21st century See also : 2010 Chile earthquake Five presidents of Chile since Transition to democracy ( 1990 -- 2018 ) , celebrating the Bicentennial of Chile In December 1993 , Christian Democrat Eduardo Frei Ruiz - Tagle , the son of previous president Eduardo Frei Montalva , led the Concertación coalition to victory with an absolute majority of votes ( 58 % ) . Frei Ruiz - Tagle was succeeded in 2000 by Socialist Ricardo Lagos , who won the presidency in an unprecedented runoff election against Joaquín Lavín of the rightist Alliance for Chile . In January 2006 , Chileans elected their first female president , Michelle Bachelet Jeria , of the Socialist Party , defeating Sebastián Piñera , of the National Renewal party , extending the Concertación governance for another four years . In January 2010 , Chileans elected Sebastián Piñera as the first rightist President in 20 years , defeating former President Eduardo Frei Ruiz - Tagle of the Concertación , for a four - year term succeeding Bachelet . Due to term limits , Sebastián Piñera did not stand for re-election in 2013 , and his term expired in March 2014 resulting in Michelle Bachelet returning to office . On 27 February 2010 , Chile was struck by an 8.8 M earthquake , the fifth largest ever recorded at the time . More than 500 people died ( most from the ensuing tsunami ) and over a million people lost their homes . The earthquake was also followed by multiple aftershocks . Initial damage estimates were in the range of US $15 -- 30 billion , around 10 to 15 percent of Chile 's real gross domestic product . Chile achieved global recognition for the successful rescue of 33 trapped miners in 2010 . On 5 August 2010 the access tunnel collapsed at the San José copper and gold mine in the Atacama Desert near Copiapó in northern Chile , trapping 33 men 700 metres ( 2,300 ft ) below ground . A rescue effort organized by the Chilean government located the miners 17 days later . All 33 men were brought to the surface two months later on 13 October 2010 over a period of almost 24 hours , an effort that was carried on live television around the world . Government and politics Main articles : Politics of Chile and Law of Chile The Palacio de La Moneda in downtown Santiago The Palace of Justice in Santiago The current Constitution of Chile was approved in a national plebiscite -- regarded as `` highly irregular '' by some observers -- in September 1980 , under the military government of Augusto Pinochet . It entered into force in March 1981 . After Pinochet 's defeat in the 1988 plebiscite , the constitution was amended to ease provisions for future amendments to the Constitution . In September 2005 , President Ricardo Lagos signed into law several constitutional amendments passed by Congress . These include eliminating the positions of appointed senators and senators for life , granting the President authority to remove the commanders - in - chief of the armed forces , and reducing the presidential term from six to four years . The Congress of Chile has a 38 - seat Senate and a 120 - member Chamber of Deputies . Senators serve for eight years with staggered terms , while deputies are elected every 4 years . The last congressional elections were held on 17 November 2013 , concurrently with the presidential election . The current Senate has a 21 -- 15 split in favor of the governing coalition and 2 independents . The current lower house , the Chamber of Deputies , contains 67 members of the governing center - left coalition , 48 from the center - right opposition and 5 from small parties or independents . The Congress is located in the port city of Valparaíso , about 140 kilometres ( 87 miles ) west of the capital , Santiago . National Congress building in Valparaíso Chile 's congressional elections are governed by a binomial system that , for the most part , rewards the two largest representations equally , often regardless of their relative popular support . Parties are thus forced to form wide coalitions and , historically , the two largest coalitions ( Concertación and Alianza ) split most of the seats . Only if the leading coalition ticket out - polls the second place coalition by a margin of more than 2 - to - 1 does the winning coalition gain both seats , which tends to lock the legislature in a roughly 50 -- 50 split . Chile 's judiciary is independent and includes a court of appeal , a system of military courts , a constitutional tribunal , and the Supreme Court of Chile . In June 2005 , Chile completed a nationwide overhaul of its criminal justice system . The reform has replaced inquisitorial proceedings with an adversarial system more similar to that of the United States . In the 2001 congressional elections , the conservative Independent Democratic Union ( UDI ) surpassed the Christian Democrats for the first time to become the largest party in the lower house . In the 2005 parliamentary election , both leading parties , the Christian Democrats and the UDI lost representation in favor of their respective allies Socialist Party ( which became the biggest party in the Concertación block ) and National Renewal in the right - wing alliance . In the 2009 legislative elections in Chile , the Communist Party won 3 out of 120 seats in the Chamber of Deputies for the first time in 30 years ( the Communist Party was not allowed to exist as such during the dictatorship ) . Chileans voted in the first round of presidential elections on 17 November 2013 . None of the nine presidential candidates got more than 50 percent of the vote . As a result , the top two candidates , center - left Nueva Mayoría coalition 's Michelle Bachelet and center - right Alianza coalition 's Evelyn Matthei , competed in a run - off election on 15 December 2013 , which Bachelet won . This was Chile 's sixth presidential election since the end of the Pinochet era . All six have been judged free and fair . The president is constitutionally barred from serving consecutive terms . Foreign relations Main article : Foreign relations of Chile State of Chile 's international relations in the world : Chile Country with diplomatic relations and Chilean embassy in the country . Country with diplomatic relations and an embassy in Chile , but no Chilean embassy . Country with diplomatic relations but without ambassadors . Country with no diplomatic relations currently . Since the early decades after independence , Chile has always had an active involvement in foreign affairs . In 1837 the country aggressively challenged the dominance of Peru 's port of Callao for preeminence in the Pacific trade routes , defeating the short - lived alliance between Peru and Bolivia , the Peru - Bolivian Confederation ( 1836 -- 39 ) in the War of the Confederation . The war dissolved the confederation while distributing power in the Pacific . A second international war , the War of the Pacific ( 1879 -- 83 ) , further increased Chile 's regional role , while adding considerably to its territory . During the 19th century , Chile 's commercial ties were primarily with Britain , a nation that had a major influence on the formation of the Chilean navy . The French influenced Chile 's legal and educational systems and had a decisive impact on Chile , through the architecture of the capital in the boom years at the turn of the 20th century . German influence came from the organization and training of the army by Prussians . On 26 June 1945 , Chile participated as a founding member of the United Nations being among 50 countries that signed the United Nations Charter in San Francisco , California . With the military coup of 1973 , Chile became isolated politically as a result of widespread human rights abuses . Since its return to democracy in 1990 , Chile has been an active participant in the international political arena . Chile completed a 2 - year non-permanent position on the UN Security Council in January 2005 . Jose Miguel Insulza , a Chilean national , was elected Secretary General of the Organization of American States in May 2005 and confirmed in his position , being re-elected in 2009 . Chile is currently serving on the International Atomic Energy Agency ( IAEA ) Board of Governors , and the 2007 -- 2008 chair of the board is Chile 's ambassador to the IAEA , Milenko E. Skoknic . The country is an active member of the UN family of agencies and participates in UN peacekeeping activities . It was re-elected as a member of the UN Human Rights Council in 2011 for a three - year term . It was also elected to one of five non-permanent seats on the UN Security Council in 2013 . Chile hosted the Defense Ministerial of the Americas in 2002 and the APEC summit and related meetings in 2004 . It also hosted the Community of Democracies ministerial in April 2005 and the Ibero - American Summit in November 2007 . An associate member of Mercosur and a full member of APEC , Chile has been a major player in international economic issues and hemispheric free trade . The Chilean Government has diplomatic relations with most countries . It settled all its territorial disputes with Argentina during the 1990s except for part of the border at Southern Patagonian Ice Field . Chile and Bolivia severed diplomatic ties in 1978 over Bolivia 's desire to regain sovereign access to the Pacific Ocean it lost to Chile in 1879 -- 83 War of the Pacific . The two countries maintain consular relations and are represented at the Consul General level . Administrative divisions Main article : Administrative divisions of Chile In 1978 Chile was administratively divided into regions , and in 1979 subdivided into provinces and these into communes . In total the country has 15 regions , 54 provinces and 348 communes . Each region is designated by a name and a roman numeral assigned from north to south , although in the case of Santiago Metropolitan Region is not used . The creation of two new regions in 2007 , Arica and Parinacota ( XV ) and Los Ríos ( XIV ) , made this numbering lose its original meaning .

The coat of arms depicts the two national animals : the condor ( Vultur gryphus , a very large bird that lives in the mountains ) and the huemul ( Hippocamelus bisulcus , an endangered white tail deer ) . It also has the legend Por la razón o la fuerza ( By reason or by force ) . The flag of Chile consists of two equal horizontal bands of white ( top ) and red ; there is a blue square the same height as the white band at the hoist - side end of the white band ; the square bears a white five - pointed star in the center representing a guide to progress and honor ; blue symbolizes the sky , white is for the snow - covered Andes , and red stands for the blood spilled to achieve independence . The flag of Chile is similar to the Flag of Texas , although the Chilean flag is 21 years older . However , like the Texan flag , the flag of Chile is modeled after the Flag of the United States . Military Main article : Military of Chile The Armed Forces of Chile are subject to civilian control exercised by the president through the Minister of Defense . The president has the authority to remove the commanders - in - chief of the armed forces . The commander in chief of the Chilean Army is General Humberto Oviedo Arriagada . The Chilean Army is 45,000 strong and is organized with an Army headquarters in Santiago , six divisions throughout its territory , an Air Brigade in Rancagua , and a Special Forces Command in Colina . The Chilean Army is one of the most professional and technologically advanced armies in Latin America . Admiral Julio Leiva Molina directs around 25,000 - person Chilean Navy , including 2,500 Marines . Of the fleet of 29 surface vessels , only eight are operational major combatants ( frigates ) . Those ships are based in Valparaíso . The Navy operates its own aircraft for transport and patrol ; there are no Navy fighter or bomber aircraft . The Navy also operates four submarines based in Talcahuano . Air Force General ( four star ) Jorge Rojas Ávila heads the 12,500 strong Chilean Air Force . Air assets are distributed among five air brigades headquartered in Iquique , Antofagasta , Santiago , Puerto Montt , and Punta Arenas . The Air Force also operates an airbase on King George Island , Antarctica . The Air Force took delivery of the final two of ten F - 16s , all purchased from the U.S. , in March 2007 after several decades of U.S. debate and previous refusal to sell . Chile also took delivery in 2007 of a number of reconditioned Block 15 F - 16s from the Netherlands , bringing to 18 the total of F - 16s purchased from the Dutch . After the military coup in September 1973 the Chilean national police ( Carabineros ) were incorporated into the Defense Ministry . With the return of democratic government , the police were placed under the operational control of the Interior Ministry but remained under the nominal control of the Defense Ministry . Gen. Gustavo González Jure is the head of the national police force of 40,964 men and women who are responsible for law enforcement , traffic management , narcotics suppression , border control , and counter-terrorism throughout Chile .

Main article : Geography of Chile See also : Natural regions of Chile and Environmental issues in Chile A long and narrow coastal Southern Cone country on the west side of the Andes Mountains , Chile stretches over 4,300 km ( 2,670 mi ) north to south , but only 350 km ( 217 mi ) at its widest point east to west . This encompasses a remarkable variety of climates and landscapes . It contains 756,950 square kilometres ( 292,260 sq mi ) of land area . It is situated within the Pacific Ring of Fire . Excluding its Pacific islands and Antarctic claim , Chile lies between latitudes 17 ° and 56 ° S , and longitudes 66 ° and 75 ° W . Chile is among the longest north - south countries in the world . If one considers only mainland territory , Chile is unique within this group in its narrowness from east to west , with the other long north - south countries ( including Brazil , Russia , Canada , and the United States , among others ) all being wider from east to west by a factor of more than 10 . Chile also claims 1,250,000 km ( 480,000 sq mi ) of Antarctica as part of its territory ( Chilean Antarctic Territory ) . However , this latter claim is suspended under the terms of the Antarctic Treaty , of which Chile is a signatory . It is the world 's southernmost country that is geographically on the mainland . Chile controls Easter Island and Sala y Gómez Island , the easternmost islands of Polynesia , which it incorporated to its territory in 1888 , and Robinson Crusoe Island , more than 600 km ( 370 mi ) from the mainland , in the Juan Fernández Islands . Also controlled but only temporarily inhabited ( by some local fishermen ) are the small islands of San Ambrosio and San Felix . These islands are notable because they extend Chile 's claim to territorial waters out from its coast into the Pacific Ocean . The northern Atacama Desert contains great mineral wealth , primarily copper and nitrates . The relatively small Central Valley , which includes Santiago , dominates the country in terms of population and agricultural resources . This area is also the historical center from which Chile expanded in the late 19th century , when it integrated the northern and southern regions . Southern Chile is rich in forests , grazing lands , and features a string of volcanoes and lakes . The southern coast is a labyrinth of fjords , inlets , canals , twisting peninsulas , and islands . The Andes Mountains are located on the eastern border . Climate Main article : Climate of Chile Chile map of Köppen climate classification . The diverse climate of Chile ranges from the world 's driest desert in the north -- the Atacama Desert -- through a Mediterranean climate in the center , humid subtropical in Easter Island , to an oceanic climate , including alpine tundra and glaciers in the east and south . According to the Köppen system , Chile within its borders hosts at least ten major climatic subtypes . There are four seasons in most of the country : summer ( December to February ) , autumn ( March to May ) , winter ( June to August ) , and spring ( September to November ) . Biodiversity Main article : Wildlife of Chile The flora and fauna of Chile are characterized by a high degree of endemism , due to its particular geography . In continental Chile , the Atacama Desert in the north and the Andes mountains to the east are barriers that have led to the isolation of flora and fauna . Add to that the enormous length of Chile ( over 4,300 km ( 2,672 mi ) ) and this results in a wide range of climates and environments that can be divided into three general zones : the desert provinces of the north , central Chile , and the humid regions of the south . Flora and fauna The native flora of Chile consists of relatively fewer species compared to the flora of other South American countries . The northernmost coastal and central region is largely barren of vegetation , approaching the most absolute desert in the world . On the slopes of the Andes , in addition to the scattered tola desert brush , grasses are found . The central valley is characterized by several species of cacti , the hardy espinos , the Chilean pine , the southern beeches and the copihue , a red bell - shaped flower that is Chile 's national flower . In southern Chile , south of the Biobío River , heavy precipitation has produced dense forests of laurels , magnolias , and various species of conifers and beeches , which become smaller and more stunted to the south . The cold temperatures and winds of the extreme south preclude heavy forestation . Grassland is found in Atlantic Chile ( in Patagonia ) . Much of the Chilean flora is distinct from that of neighboring Argentina , indicating that the Andean barrier existed during its formation . Some of Chile 's flora has an Antarctic origin due to land bridges which formed during the Cretaceous ice ages , allowing plants to migrate from Antarctica to South America . Just over 3,000 species of fungi are recorded in Chile , but this number is far from complete . The true total number of fungal species occurring in Chile is likely to be far higher , given the generally accepted estimate that only about 7 percent of all fungi worldwide have so far been discovered . Although the amount of available information is still very small , a first effort has been made to estimate the number of fungal species endemic to Chile , and 1995 species have been tentatively identified as possible endemics of the country . Chile 's geographical isolation has restricted the immigration of faunal life , so that only a few of the many distinctive South American animals are found . Among the larger mammals are the puma or cougar , the llama - like guanaco and the fox - like chilla . In the forest region , several types of marsupials and a small deer known as the pudu are found . There are many species of small birds , but most of the larger common Latin American types are absent . Few freshwater fish are native , but North American trout have been successfully introduced into the Andean lakes . Owing to the vicinity of the Humboldt Current , ocean waters abound with fish and other forms of marine life , which in turn support a rich variety of waterfowl , including several penguins . Whales are abundant , and some six species of seals are found in the area . Araucaria araucana trees in Conguillío National Park Pudú in Chile Chilla fox , common in the region Andean condor ( Vultur gryphus ) , the national bird of Chile Lycalopex culpaeus , a culpeo or Andean fox A guanaco in northern Chile Torres del Paine from Lake Pehoé , Torres del Paine National Park , Chile Topography Topographic map of Chile . To view maps based on SRTM topographic relief of the country , see here . View of Ojos del Salado from the Chilean side . Salar de Atacama and the Licancabur Volcano Osorno Volcano and the Petrohué River Nef Glacier and the Plomo Lake Chile is located along a highly seismic and volcanic zone , part of the Pacific Ring of Fire , due to the subduction of the Nazca and Antarctic plates in the South American plate . Late Paleozoic , 251 million years ago , Chile belonged to the continental block called Gondwana . It was just a depression accumulated marine sediments began to rise at the end of the Mesozoic , 66 million years ago , due to the collision between the Nazca and South American plates , resulting in the Andes . The territory would be shaped by millions of years due to the folding of the rocks , forming the current relief . The Chilean relief consists of the central depression , which crosses the country longitudinally , flanked by two mountain ranges that make up about 80 % of the territory : the Andes mountains to the east - natural border with Bolivia and Argentina in the region of Atacama and the Coastal Range west - minor height from the Andes . Chile 's highest peak is the Nevado Ojos del Salado , at 6891.3 m , which is also the highest volcano in the world . The highest point of the Coastal Range is Vicuña Mackenna , at 3114 meters , located in the Sierra Vicuña Mackenna , the south of Antofagasta . Among the coastal mountains and the Pacific is a series of coastal plains , of variable length , which allow the settlement of coastal towns and big ports . Some areas of the plains territories encompass territory east of the Andes , and the Patagonian steppes and Magellan , or are high plateaus surrounded by high mountain ranges , such as the Altiplano or Puna de Atacama . The Far North is the area between the northern boundary of the country and the parallel 26 ° S , covering the first three regions . It is characterized by the presence of the Atacama desert , the most arid in the world . The desert is fragmented by streams that originate in the area known as the pampas Tamarugal . The Andes , split in two and whose eastern arm runs Bolivia , has a high altitude and volcanic activity , which has allowed the formation of the Andean altiplano and salt structures as the Salar de Atacama , due to the gradual accumulation of sediments over time . Ten highest peaks of Chile Name Altitude ( m ) Nevado Ojos del Salado 6891 , 3 Nevado Tres Cruces 6758 Llullaillaco 6739 Incahuasi 6638 Tupungato 6565 Ata Volcano 6501 Cerro El Muerto 6488 Parinacota 6342 Pomerape 6282 Los Patos 6239 Note : shared with Argentina , shared with Bolivia . To the south is the Norte Chico , extending to the Aconcagua river . Los Andes begin to decrease its altitude to the south and closer to the coast , reaching 90 km away at the height of Illapel , the narrowest part of the Chilean territory . The two mountain ranges intersect , virtually eliminating the intermediate depression . The existence of rivers flowing through the territory allows the formation of transverse valleys , where agriculture has developed strongly in recent times , while the coastal plains begin to expand . The Central area is the most populated region of the country . The coastal plains are wide and allow the establishment of cities and ports along the Pacific . The Andes maintains altitudes above 6000m but descend slowly starts approaching the 4000 meters on average . The intermediate depression reappears becoming a fertile valley that allows agricultural development and human settlement , due to sediment accumulation . To the south , the Cordillera de la Costa reappears in the range of Nahuelbuta while glacial sediments originate a series of lakes in the area of La Frontera . Patagonia extends from within Reloncavi , at the height of parallel 41 ° S , to the south . During the last glaciation , this area was covered by ice that strongly eroded Chilean relief structures . As a result , the intermediate depression sinks in the sea , while the coastal mountains rise to a series of archipelagos , such as Chiloé and the Chonos , disappearing in Taitao peninsula , in the parallel 47 ° S . The Andes mountain range loses height and erosion caused by the action of glaciers has caused fjords . East of the Andes , on the continent , or north of it , on the island of Tierra del Fuego are located relatively flat plains , which in the Strait of Magellan cover large areas . The Andes , as he had done previously Cordillera de la Costa , begins to break in the ocean causing a myriad of islands and islets and disappear into it , sinking and reappearing in the Southern Antilles arc and then the Antarctic Peninsula , where it is called Antartandes , in the Chilean Antarctic Territory , lying between the meridians 53 ° W and 90 ° W . In the middle of the Pacific , the country has sovereignty over several islands of volcanic origin , collectively known as Insular Chile . Of these , we highlight the archipelago of Juan Fernandez and Easter Island , which is located in the fracture zone between the Nazca plate and the Pacific plate known as East Pacific Rise .

Due to the characteristics of the territory , Chile is crossed by numerous rivers generally short in length and with low torrential flow . They commonly extend from the Andes to the Pacific Ocean , flowing in an East to West Because of the desert , in the Norte Grande there are only short endorheic character streams , except for the river Loa , the longest in the country 440 km . In the high valleys , wetland areas generate Chungará Lake , located at 4500 meters above sea level . It and the river Lauca are shared with Bolivia , as well as the Lluta . In the center - north of the country , the number of rivers that form valleys of agricultural importance increases . Noteworthy are the Elqui with 75 km long , 142 km Aconcagua , Maipo with 250 km and its tributary , the Mapocho with 110 km , and Maule with 240 km . Their waters mainly flow from Andean snowmelt in the summer and winter rains . The major lakes in this area are the artificial lake Rapel , the Colbun Maule lagoon and the lagoon of La Laja . Demographics Main article : Demographics of Chile Population of Chile from 1820 , projected up to 2050 Chile 's 2017 census reported a population of 17,574,003 . Its rate of population growth has been decreasing since 1990 , due to a declining birth rate . By 2050 the population is expected to reach approximately 20.2 million people . About 85 percent of the country 's population lives in urban areas , with 40 percent living in Greater Santiago . The largest agglomerations according to the 2002 census are Greater Santiago with 5.6 million people , Greater Concepción with 861,000 and Greater Valparaíso with 824,000 . Ancestry and ethnicity Main articles : Indigenous peoples in Chile and Immigration to Chile Mapuche women of Tirúa German immigrants in southern Chile The most recent study in the Candela Project establishes that the genetic composition of Chile is 61 % of European origin , with 35 % of the genome coming from Native Americans ( Amerindians ) , and 4 % coming from Africa , making Chile a primarily mestizo country with traces of African descent present in half of the population . Another genetic study conducted by the University of Brasilia in several American countries shows a similar genetic composition for Chile , with a European contribution of 61.6 % , an Amerindian ( Native ) contribution of 32.1 % , and an African contribution of 6.3 % . A public health booklet from the University of Chile states that 60 % of the population is of Caucasian origin ; `` predominantly White '' Mestizos are estimated to amount a total of 35 % , while Native Americans ( Amerindians ) comprise the remaining 5 % . Despite the genetic considerations , many Chileans , if asked , would self - identify as White . The 2011 Latinobarómetro survey asked respondents in Chile what race they considered themselves to belong to . Most answered `` White '' ( 59 % ) , while 25 % said `` Mestizo '' and 8 % self - classified as `` indigenous '' . A 2002 national poll revealed that a majority of Chileans believed they possessed some ( 43.4 % ) or much ( 8.3 % ) `` indigenous blood '' , while 40.3 % responded that they had none . The 1907 census reported 101,118 Indians , or 3.1 % of the total population . Only those that practiced their native culture or spoke their native language were considered to be Indians , irrespective of their `` racial purity '' . In 2002 a census took place , directly asking the public whether they considered themselves as part of any of the eight Chilean ethnic groups , regardless of whether or not they maintained their culture , traditions and language , and 4.6 percent of the population ( 692,192 people ) fitted that description of indigenous peoples in Chile . Of that number , 87.3 % declared themselves Mapuche . Most of the indigenous population shows varying degrees of mixed ancestry . Chile is one of 22 countries to have signed and ratified the only binding international law concerning indigenous peoples , the Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention , 1989 . It was adopted in 1989 as the International Labour Organization ( ILO ) Convention 169 . Chile ratified it in 2008 . A Chilean court decision in November 2009 considered to be a landmark ruling on indigenous rights and made use of the convention . The Supreme Court decision on Aymara water rights upheld rulings by both the Pozo Almonte tribunal and the Iquique Court of Appeals , and marks the first judicial application of ILO Convention 169 in Chile . Chile was never a particularly attractive destination for migrants , owing to its remoteness and distance from Europe . Europeans preferred to stay in countries closer to their homelands instead of taking the long journey through the Straits of Magellan or crossing the Andes . European migration did not result in a significant change in the ethnic composition of Chile , except in the region of Magellan . Spaniards were the only major European migrant group to Chile , and there was never large - scale immigration such as that to Argentina or Uruguay . Between 1851 and 1924 , Chile only received 0.5 % of European immigration to Latin America , compared to 46 % to Argentina , 33 % to Brazil , 14 % to Cuba , and 4 % to Uruguay . However , it is undeniable that immigrants have played a significant role in Chilean society . Other groups of Europeans have followed but are found in smaller numbers , like the descendants of Austrians and Dutch people . Currently , these are estimated at about 50,000 people . After the failed liberal revolution of 1848 in the German states , a noticeable German immigration took place , laying the foundation for the German Chileans . Sponsored by the Chilean government to `` unbarbarize '' and colonize the southern region , these Germans ( notably the Swiss , Silesians , Alsatians and Austrians ) settled mainly in Valdivia , Osorno and Llanquihue . Descendants of different European ethnic groups often intermarried in Chile . This intermarriage and mixture of cultures and races have helped to shape the present society and culture of the Chilean middle and upper classes . Due in part to its economic fortunes , Chile has recently become a new magnet for immigrants , mostly from neighboring Argentina , Bolivia and mainly Peru . According to the 2002 national census , Chile 's foreign - born population has increased by 75 % since 1992 . According to an estimate by the Migration and Foreign Residency Department , 317,057 foreigners were living in Chile as of December 2008 . Roughly 500,000 of Chile 's population is of full or partial Palestinian origin . Religion Main article : Religion in Chile Religious background in Chile ( 2015 ) Religion Percent Roman Catholic 55 % None 25 % Protestant 13 % Other 7 % The Metropolitan Cathedral of Santiago As of 2012 , 66.6 % of Chilean population over 15 years of age claimed to adhere to the Roman Catholic church , a decrease from the 70 % reported in the 2002 census . In the same census of 2012 , 17 % of Chileans reported adherence to an Evangelical church ( `` Evangelical '' in the census referred to all Christian denominations other than the Roman Catholic and Orthodox -- Greek , Persian , Serbian , Ukrainian , and Armenian -- churches , The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter - day Saints or Mormons , Seventh - day Adventists , and Jehovah 's Witnesses : essentially , those denominations generally still termed `` Protestant '' in most English - speaking lands , although Adventism is often considered an Evangelical denomination as well ) . Approximately 90 % of Evangelical Christians are Pentecostal . but Wesleyan , Lutheran , Anglican , Episcopalian , Presbyterian , other Reformed , Baptist , and Methodist churches also are present amongst Chilean Evangelical churches . Irreligious people , atheists , and agnostics account for around 12 % of the population . By 2015 , the major religion in Chile remained Christianity ( 68 % ) , with an estimated 55 % of Chileans belonging to the Roman Catholic church , 13 % to various Evangelical churches , and just 7 % adhering to any other religion . Agnostics and atheist were estimated at 25 % of the population . The Constitution guarantees the right to freedom of religion , and other laws and policies contribute to generally free religious practice . The law at all levels fully protects this right against abuse by either governmental or private actors . Church and state are officially separate in Chile . A 1999 law on religion prohibits religious discrimination . However , the Roman Catholic church for mostly historical and social reasons enjoys a privileged status and occasionally receives preferential treatment . Government officials attend Roman Catholic events as well as major Evangelical and Jewish ceremonies . The Chilean government treats the religious holidays of Christmas , Good Friday , the Feast of the Virgin of Carmen , the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul , the Feast of the Assumption , All Saints ' Day , and the Feast of the Immaculate Conception as national holidays . Recently , the government declared October 31st , Reformation Day , to be an additional national holiday , in honor of the Evangelical churches of the country . The patron saints of Chile are Our Lady of Mount Carmel and Saint James the Greater ( Santiago ) . In 2005 , Pope Benedict XVI canonized Alberto Hurtado , who became the country 's second native Roman Catholic saint after Teresa de los Andes . Languages The Spanish spoken in Chile is distinctively accented and quite unlike that of neighboring South American countries because final syllables are often dropped , and some consonants have a soft pronunciation . Accent varies only very slightly from north to south ; more noticeable are the differences in accent based on social class or whether one lives in the city or the country . That the Chilean population was largely formed in a small section at the center of the country and then migrated in modest numbers to the north and south helps explain this relative lack of differentiation , which was maintained by the national reach of radio , and now television , which also helps to diffuse and homogenize colloquial expressions . There are several indigenous languages spoken in Chile : Mapudungun , Quechua , Aymara and Rapa Nui . After the Spanish invasion , Spanish took over as the lingua franca and the indigenous languages have become minority languages , with some now extinct or close to extinction . German is still spoken to some extent in southern Chile , either in small country side pockets or as a second language among the communities of larger cities . Through initiatives such as the English Opens Doors Program , the government made English mandatory for students in fifth - grade and above in public schools . Most private schools in Chile start teaching English from kindergarten . Common English words have been absorbed and appropriated into everyday Spanish speech . Education Main articles : Education in Chile and List of universities in Chile Pontifical Catholic University of Chile University of Chile University of Concepción In Chile , education begins with preschool until the age of 5 . Primary school is provided for children between ages 6 and 13 . Students then attend secondary school until graduation at age 17 . Secondary education is divided into two parts : During the first two years , students receive a general education . Then , they choose a branch : scientific humanistic education , artistic education , or technical and professional education . Secondary school ends two years later on the acquirement of a certificate ( licencia de enseñanza media ) . Chilean education is segregated by wealth in a three - tiered system -- the quality of the schools reflect socioeconomic backgrounds : city schools ( colegios municipales ) that are mostly free and have the worse education results , mostly attended by poor students ; subsidized schools that receive some money from the government which can be supplemented by fees paid by the student 's family , which are attended by mid-income students and typically get mid-level results ; and entirely private schools that consistently get the best results . Many private schools charge attendance fees of 0 , 5 to 1 median household incomes . Upon successful graduation of secondary school , students may continue into higher education . The higher education schools in Chile consist of Chilean Traditional Universities and are divided into public universities or private universities . There are medical schools and both the Universidad de Chile and Universidad Diego Portales offer law schools in a partnership with Yale University . Health Main article : Healthcare in Chile The Ministry of Health ( Minsal ) is the cabinet - level administrative office in charge of planning , directing , coordinating , executing , controlling and informing the public health policies formulated by the President of Chile . The National Health Fund ( Fonasa ) , created in 1979 , is the financial entity entrusted to collect , manage and distribute state funds for health in Chile . It is funded by the public . All employees pay 7 percent of their monthly income to the fund . Fonasa is part of the NHSS and has executive power through the Ministry of Health ( Chile ) . Its headquarters are in Santiago and decentralized public service is conducted by various Regional Offices . More than 12 million beneficiaries benefit from Fonasa . Beneficiaries can also opt for more costly private insurance through Isapre . Hospitals in Chile are mainly located in the Santiago Metropolitan Region . Economy Main article : Economy of Chile Chilean ( blue ) and average Latin American ( gray ) GDP per capita ( 1950 -- 2008 ) The financial district in Santiago de Chile Santiago Stock Exchange Chuquicamata , the largest open pit copper mine in the world The Central Bank of Chile in Santiago serves as the central bank for the country . The Chilean currency is the Chilean peso ( CLP ) . Chile is one of South America 's most stable and prosperous nations , leading Latin American nations in human development , competitiveness , income per capita , globalization , economic freedom , and low perception of corruption . Since July 2013 , Chile is considered by the World Bank as a `` high - income economy '' . Chile has the highest degree of economic freedom in South America ( ranking 7th worldwide ) , owing to its independent and efficient judicial system and prudent public finance management . In May 2010 Chile became the first South American country to join the OECD . In 2006 , Chile became the country with the highest nominal GDP per capita in Latin America . Copper mining makes up 20 % of Chilean GDP and 60 % of exports . Escondida is the largest copper mine in the world , producing over 5 % of global supplies . Overall , Chile produces a third of the world 's copper . Codelco , the state mining firm , competes with private ones . Sound economic policies , maintained consistently since the 1980s , have contributed to steady economic growth in Chile and have more than halved poverty rates . Chile began to experience a moderate economic downturn in 1999 . The economy remained sluggish until 2003 , when it began to show clear signs of recovery , achieving 4.0 % GDP growth . The Chilean economy finished 2004 with growth of 6 percent . Real GDP growth reached 5.7 percent in 2005 before falling back to 4 percent in 2006 . GDP expanded by 5 percent in 2007 . Faced with an international economic downturn the government announced an economic stimulus plan to spur employment and growth , and despite the global financial crisis , aimed for an expansion of between 2 percent and 3 percent of GDP for 2009 . Nonetheless , economic analysts disagreed with government estimates and predicted economic growth at a median of 1.5 percent . Real GDP growth in 2012 was 5.5 % . Growth slowed to 4.1 % in the first quarter of 2013 . The unemployment rate was 6.4 % in April 2013 . There are reported labor shortages in agriculture , mining , and construction . The percentage of Chileans with per capita household incomes below the poverty line -- defined as twice the cost of satisfying a person 's minimal nutritional needs -- fell from 45.1 percent in 1987 to 11.5 percent in 2009 , according to government surveys . Critics in Chile , however , argue that true poverty figures are considerably higher than those officially published . Using the relative yardstick favoured in many European countries , 27 % of Chileans would be poor , according to Juan Carlos Feres of the ECLAC . As of November 2012 , about 11.1 million people ( 64 % of the population ) benefit from government welfare programs , via the `` Social Protection Card '' , which includes the population living in poverty and those at a risk of falling into poverty . The privatized national pension system ( AFP ) has encouraged domestic investment and contributed to an estimated total domestic savings rate of approximately 21 percent of GDP . Under the compulsory private pension system , most formal sector employees pay 10 percent of their salaries into privately managed funds . However , by 2009 , it has been reported that had been lost from the pension system to the global financial crisis .

[ "The Central Bank of Chile in Santiago serves as the central bank for the country. The Chilean currency is the Chilean peso (CLP). Chile is one of South America's most stable and prosperous nations,[11] leading Latin American nations in human development, competitiveness, income per capita, globalization, economic freedom, and low perception of corruption.[13] Since July 2013, Chile is considered by the World Bank as a \"high-income economy\".[137][138][139]" ]

Succession to the British throne
Succession to the British throne - wikipedia Succession to the British throne This is the latest accepted revision , reviewed on 3 August 2018 . The Sovereign 's Throne in the House of Lords , from which the speech is delivered at State Openings of Parliament Succession to the British throne is determined by descent , sex ( for people born before October 2011 ) , legitimacy , and religion . Under common law , the Crown is inherited by a sovereign 's children or by a childless sovereign 's nearest collateral line . The Bill of Rights 1689 and the Act of Settlement 1701 restrict succession to the throne to the legitimate Protestant descendants of Sophia of Hanover that are in `` communion with the Church of England '' . Spouses of Roman Catholics were disqualified from 1689 until the law was amended in 2015 . Protestant descendants of those excluded for being Roman Catholics are eligible . Queen Elizabeth II is the sovereign , and her heir apparent is her eldest son , Charles , Prince of Wales . Next in line after him is Prince William , Duke of Cambridge , the Prince of Wales 's elder son . Third in line is Prince George , the eldest child of the Duke of Cambridge , followed by his sister , Princess Charlotte and younger brother , Prince Louis . Sixth in line is Prince Harry , Duke of Sussex , the younger son of the Prince of Wales . Any of the first six in line marrying without the sovereign 's consent would be disqualified from succession . The first four individuals in the line of succession who are over 21 , and the sovereign 's consort , may be appointed Counsellors of State . Counsellors of State perform some of the sovereign 's duties in the United Kingdom while he or she is out of the country or temporarily incapacitated . Otherwise , individuals in the line of succession need not have specific legal or official roles . The United Kingdom is one of the 16 Commonwealth realms . Each of those countries has the same person as monarch and the same order of succession . In 2011 , the prime ministers of the realms agreed unanimously to adopt a common approach to amending the rules on the succession to their respective Crowns so that absolute primogeniture would apply for persons born after the date of the agreement , instead of male - preference primogeniture , and the ban on marriages to Roman Catholics would be lifted , but the monarch would still need to be in communion with the Church of England . After the necessary legislation had been enacted in accordance with each realm 's constitution , the changes took effect on 26 March 2015 . Contents 1 Current line of succession 2 History 2.1 England 2.2 Scotland 2.3 After the union of the crowns 2.3. 1 Stuarts 2.3. 2 Hanoverians and Windsors 2.4 Commonwealth realms 3 Current rules 3.1 Marriages 3.2 Religion 3.3 Treason 4 Accession 5 See also 6 Notes 7 References 8 Sources 9 External links Current line of succession First six in line from 23 April 2018 1 . The Prince of Wales 2 . The Duke of Cambridge 3 . Prince George of Cambridge 4 . Princess Charlotte of Cambridge 5 . Prince Louis of Cambridge 6 . The Duke of Sussex No official , complete version of the line of succession is currently maintained . The exact number , in remoter collateral lines , of the people who would be eligible is uncertain . In 2001 , American genealogist William Addams Reitwiesner compiled a list of 4,973 living descendants of the Electress Sophia in order of succession , but did so disregarding Roman Catholic status . When updated in January 2011 , the number was 5,753 . The annotated list below covers the first part of this line of succession , being limited to descendants of the sons of George V ( the present Queen 's grandfather ) .

( May 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The current succession law in the United Kingdom evolved from succession law in both England and Scotland . Originally in both countries , there were no fixed rules governing succession to the throne . The individual could have relied on inheritance , statute , election ( by Parliament or by another body ) , nomination ( by a reigning sovereign in his or her will ) , conquest or prescription ( de facto possession of the Crown ) . It was often unclear which of these bases should take precedence ; often , the outcome depended not on the legal strength of the claims , but on the political or military power of the claimants . However , over time , the default rule became male primogeniture : later monarchs coming to the throne by exception to this rule went to great lengths to explain and justify going against these rules , and to prove their rivals illegitimate . Eventually , Parliament asserted control of succession . England In 1485 , Henry Tudor , a female - line descendant of a legitimated branch of the royal house of Lancaster , the House of Beaufort , assumed the English crown as Henry VII , after defeating Richard III , who was killed at the battle of Bosworth when leading a charge against Henry 's standard . Richard was the last king of the House of York , and the last of the Plantagenet dynasty . Henry declared himself king retroactively from 21 August 1485 , the day before his victory over Richard at Bosworth Field , and caused Richard 's Titulus Regius to be repealed and expunged from the Rolls of Parliament . After Henry 's coronation in London in October that year , his first parliament , summoned to meet at Westminster in November , enacted that `` the inheritance of the crown should be , rest , remain and abide in the most royal person of the then sovereign lord , King Henry VII , and the heirs of his body lawfully coming . '' Henry VII was followed by his son , Henry VIII . Though his father descended from the Lancastrians , Henry VIII could also claim the throne through the Yorkist line , as his mother Elizabeth was the sister and heiress of Edward V. In 1542 Henry also assumed the title King of Ireland ; this would pass down with the monarchs of England , and later Great Britain , until the Acts of Union 1800 merged the separate crowns into that of the United Kingdom . Henry VIII 's numerous marriages led to several complications over succession . Henry VIII was first married to Catherine of Aragon , by whom he had a daughter named Mary . His second marriage , to Anne Boleyn , resulted in a daughter named Elizabeth . Henry VIII had a son , Edward , by his third wife , Jane Seymour . An Act of Parliament passed in 1533 declared Mary illegitimate ; another passed in 1536 did the same for Elizabeth . Though the two remained illegitimate , an Act of Parliament passed in 1544 allowed reinserting them , providing further `` that the King should and might give , will , limit , assign , appoint or dispose the said imperial Crown and the other premises ... by letters patent or last will in writing . '' Mary and Elizabeth , under Henry VIII 's will , were to be followed by descendants of the King 's deceased sister Mary Tudor , Duchess of Suffolk ( he , however , excluded his niece Frances Brandon , Duchess of Suffolk ) . This will also excluded from the succession the descendants of Henry 's eldest sister Margaret Tudor , who were the rulers of Scotland . Queen Elizabeth I enthroned in Parliament When Henry VIII died in 1547 , the young Edward succeeded him , becoming Edward VI . Edward VI was the first Protestant Sovereign to succeed to the rule of England . He attempted to divert the course of succession in his will to prevent his Catholic half - sister , Mary , from inheriting the throne . He excluded Mary and Elizabeth , settling on the Duchess of Suffolk 's daughter , Lady Jane Grey . Jane was also originally excluded on the premise that no woman could reign over England . Nonetheless , the will , which originally referred to Jane 's heirs - male , was amended to refer to Jane and her heirs - male . Upon Edward VI 's death in 1553 , Jane was proclaimed Queen of England and Ireland . She was not universally recognised and after nine days she was overthrown by the popular Mary . As Henry VIII 's will had been approved by an Act of Parliament in 1544 , Edward 's contravening will was unlawful and ignored . Mary was succeeded by her half - sister , Elizabeth , who broke with the precedents of many of her predecessors , and refused to name an heir . Whilst previous monarchs ( including Henry VIII ) had specifically been granted authority to settle uncertain successions in their wills , the Treasons Act 1571 asserted that Parliament had the right to settle disputes , and made it treason to deny Parliamentary authority . Wary of threats from other possible heirs , Parliament further passed the Act of Association 1584 , which provided that any individual involved in attempts to murder the Sovereign would be disqualified from succeeding . ( The Act was repealed in 1863 . ) Scotland The House of Stewart ( later Stuart ) had ruled in Scotland since 1371 . It had followed strict rules of primogeniture until the deposition and exile of Mary I in 1567 ; even then she was succeeded by her son , James VI . After the Union of the Crowns Stuarts Elizabeth I of England and Ireland was succeeded by King James VI of Scotland , her first cousin twice removed , even though his succession violated Henry VIII 's will , under which Lady Anne Stanley , heiress of Mary Tudor , Duchess of Suffolk , was supposed to succeed . James asserted that hereditary right was superior to statutory provision , and as King of Scotland was powerful enough to deter any rival . He reigned as James I of England and Ireland , thus effecting the Union of the Crowns , although England and Scotland remained separate sovereign states until 1707 . His succession was rapidly ratified by Parliament . Principal members of the house of Stuart following the 1603 Union of the Crowns . James 's eldest surviving son and successor , Charles I , was overthrown and beheaded in 1649 . The monarchy itself was abolished . A few years later , it was replaced by the Protectorate under Oliver Cromwell , effectively a monarch with the title of Lord Protector rather than King . Cromwell had the right to name his own successor , which he exercised on his deathbed by choosing his son , Richard Cromwell . Richard was ineffective , and was quickly forced from office . Shortly afterwards , the monarchy was restored , with Charles I 's son Charles II as King . After the death of her last child in 1700 , Princess Anne became the last individual left in the line of succession determined by the Bill of Rights . James II and VII , a Roman Catholic , followed his brother Charles II , despite efforts in the late 1670s to exclude him in favour of Charles 's illegitimate Protestant son , the Duke of Monmouth . James was deposed when his Protestant opponents forced him to flee from England in 1688 . Parliament then deemed that James had , by fleeing the realms , abdicated the thrones and offered the Crowns not to the King 's infant son James but to his Protestant daughter Mary and to her husband William , who as James 's nephew was the first person in the succession not descended from him . The two became joint Sovereigns ( a unique circumstance in British history ) as William III of England and Ireland ( and II of Scotland ) and Mary II of England , Scotland and Ireland . William had insisted on this unique provision as a condition of his military leadership against James . The English Bill of Rights passed in 1689 determined succession to the English , Scottish and Irish Thrones . First in the line were the descendants of Mary II . Next came Mary 's sister Princess Anne and her descendants . Finally , the descendants of William by any future marriage were added to the line of succession . Only Protestants were allowed to succeed to the Thrones , and those who married Roman Catholics were excluded . After Mary II died in 1694 , her husband continued to reign alone until his own death in 1702 . The line of succession provided for by the Bill of Rights was almost at an end ; William and Mary never had any children , and Princess Anne 's children had all died . Therefore , Parliament passed the Act of Settlement . The Act maintained the provision of the Bill of Rights whereby William would be succeeded by Princess Anne and her descendants , and thereafter by his own descendants from future marriages . The Act , however , declared that they would be followed by James I & VI 's granddaughter Sophia , Electress Dowager of Hanover ( the daughter of James 's daughter Elizabeth Stuart ) , and her heirs . As under the Bill of Rights , non-Protestants and those who married Roman Catholics were excluded . Electress Sophia of Hanover ( 1630 -- 1714 ) Upon William 's death , Anne became Queen of England , Scotland and Ireland . Because the Parliament of England settled on Sophia as Anne 's heir - presumptive without consulting Scottish leaders , the Estates of Scotland retaliated by passing the Scottish Act of Security . The Act provided that , upon the death of Anne , the Estates would meet to select an heir to the throne of Scotland , who could not be the same person as the English Sovereign unless numerous political and economic conditions were met . Anne originally withheld the Royal Assent , but was forced to grant it when the Estates refused to raise taxes and sought to withdraw troops from the Queen 's army . England 's Parliament responded by passing the Alien Act 1705 , which threatened to cripple Scotland 's economy by cutting off trade with them . Thus , Scotland had little choice but to unite with England to form the Kingdom of Great Britain in 1707 ; the Crown of the new nation ( along with the Crown of Ireland ) was subject to the rules laid down by the English Act of Settlement . Hanoverians and windsors Benjamin Harris 's Protestant Tutor , a primer popular for decades and the source for the New England Primer . Edition of 1713 . Hanoverian propaganda extended to books for children 's education . Anne was predeceased by Sophia , Electress Dowager of Hanover , and was therefore succeeded by the latter 's son , who became George I in 1714 . Attempts were made in the risings of 1715 and 1745 to restore Stuart claimants to the Throne , supported by those who recognised the Jacobite succession . The House of Hanover nonetheless remained undeposed , and the Crown descended in accordance with the appointed rules . In 1801 , following the Acts of Union 1800 , the separate crowns of Great Britain and Ireland were merged and became the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland . Between 1811 and 1820 , when George III was deemed unfit to rule , the Prince of Wales ( later George IV ) acted as his regent . Some years later the Regency Act 1830 made provision for a change in the line of succession had a child been born to William IV after his death , but this event did not come about . George VI receiving homage at his coronation in 1937 In 1936 Edward VIII abdicated 11 months after he succeeded to the throne immediately on his father 's death . Edward was proclaimed King in January 1936 , and opened ( for the only time ) Parliament in November 1936 . Edward VIII had desired to marry Wallis Simpson , a divorcee , but the Church of England , of which the British Sovereign is Supreme Governor , would not authorize the marriage of divorcees . Consequently , Parliament passed His Majesty 's Declaration of Abdication Act 1936 , by which Edward VIII ceased to be Sovereign `` immediately upon '' his royal assent as King being signified in Parliament on 11 December . The Act provided that he and his descendants , if any , were not to have any `` right , title or interest in or to the succession to the Throne '' . Edward died childless in 1972 . Edward 's abdication was `` a demise of the Crown '' ( in the words of the Act ) , and the Duke of York , his brother who was then next in the line , immediately succeeded to the throne and to its `` rights , privileges , and dignities '' , taking the regnal name George VI . He in turn was succeeded in 1952 by his own elder daughter , Elizabeth II . By that time the monarch of the United Kingdom no longer reigned in the greater part of Ireland ( which had become a republic in 1949 ) , but was the monarch of a number of independent sovereign states ( Commonwealth realms ) . Commonwealth realms Further information : Perth Agreement Elizabeth II at her coronation in 1953 , passing to the left of the Coronation Chair Each of the Commonwealth realms has the same person as monarch and , to maintain that arrangement , they have agreed to continue the same line of succession ; some realms do so through domestic succession laws , while others stipulate whoever is monarch of the United Kingdom will also be monarch of that realm . In February 1952 , on her accession , Elizabeth II was proclaimed as sovereign separately throughout her realms . In October 2011 , the heads of government of all 16 realms agreed unanimously at a meeting held in Perth , Australia , to proposed changes to the royal succession laws that would see the order of succession for people born after 28 October 2011 governed by absolute primogeniture -- wherein succession passes to an individual 's children according to birth order , regardless of sex -- instead of male - preference primogeniture . They also agreed to lift a ban on those who marry Roman Catholics . The ban on Catholics themselves was retained to ensure that the monarch would be in communion with the Church of England . The changes came into effect across the Commonwealth realms on 26 March 2015 , after legislation was made according to each realm 's constitution . Following the changes coming into effect , the positions of the first 27 in line remained unchanged , including Princess Anne and her children and grandchildren , until the birth of Princess Charlotte of Cambridge on 2 May 2015 . The first to be affected by the changes , on the day they came into effect in March , were the children of Lady Davina Lewis -- her son Tāne ( born 2012 ) and her daughter Senna ( born 2010 ) -- who were reversed in the order of succession , becoming 29th and 28th in line respectively . Current rules The Bill of Rights and the Act of Settlement ( restated by the Acts of Union ) still govern succession to the throne . They were amended in the United Kingdom by the Succession to the Crown Act 2013 , which was passed mainly `` to make succession to the Crown not depend on gender '' and `` to make provision about Royal Marriages '' ( according to its long title ) , thereby implementing the Perth Agreement in the UK and in those realms that , by their laws , have as their monarch automatically whoever is monarch of the UK . Other realms passed their own legislation . Anyone ineligible to succeed is treated as if they were `` dead '' . That person 's descendants are not also disqualified , unless they are personally ineligible . Marriages The Act of Settlement 1701 provides that Protestant `` heirs of the body '' ( that is , legitimate descendants ) of Sophia , Electress of Hanover , are eligible to succeed to the throne , unless otherwise disqualified . The meaning of heir of the body is determined by the common law rules of male preference primogeniture ( the `` male - preference '' criterion is no longer applicable , in respect of succession to the throne , to persons born after 28 October 2011 ) , whereby older children and their descendants inherit before younger children , and a male child takes precedence over a female sibling . Children born out of wedlock and adopted children are not eligible to succeed . Illegitimate children whose parents subsequently marry are legitimated , but remain ineligible to inherit the Crown . The Royal Marriages Act 1772 ( repealed by the Succession to the Crown Act 2013 ) further required descendants of George II to obtain the consent of the reigning monarch to marry . ( The requirement did not apply to descendants of princesses who married into foreign families , as well as , from 1936 , any descendants of Edward VIII , of which there are none . ) The Act provided , however , that if a dynast older than twenty - five years notified the Privy Council of his or her intention to marry without the consent of the Sovereign , then he or she may have lawfully done so after one year , unless both houses of Parliament expressly disapproved of the marriage . A marriage that contravened the Royal Marriages Act was void , and the resulting offspring illegitimate and thus ineligible to succeed , though the succession of the dynast who failed to obtain consent was not itself affected . This also had the consequence that marriage to a Roman Catholic without permission was void , so that the dynast was not disqualified from succeeding on account of being married to a Roman Catholic . Thus when the future George IV attempted to marry the Roman Catholic Maria Fitzherbert in 1785 without obtaining permission from George III he did not disqualify himself from inheriting the throne in due course . A marriage voided by the 1772 act prior to its repeal remains void `` for all purposes relating to the succession to the Crown '' under the 2013 act . The constitutional crisis arising from Edward VIII 's decision to marry a divorcee in 1936 led to His Majesty 's Declaration of Abdication Act 1936 , which provided that Edward VIII and his descendants would have no claim to the throne . The Act is no longer applicable , because Edward died in 1972 without issue . Under the 2013 Succession to the Crown Act , the first six persons in line to the throne must obtain the sovereign 's approval before marrying . Marriage without the Sovereign 's consent disqualifies the person and the person 's descendants from the marriage from succeeding to the Crown , but the marriage is still legally valid . Religion Rules relating to eligibility established by the Bill of Rights are retained under the Act of Settlement . The preamble to the Act of Settlement notes that the Bill of Rights provides `` that all and every person and persons that then ( at the time of the Bill of Right 's passage ) were , or afterwards should be reconciled to , or shall hold communion with the See or Church of Rome , or should profess the popish religion , or marry a papist , should be excluded . '' The Act of Settlement continues , providing `` that all and every Person and Persons who shall ... is , are or shall be reconciled to or shall hold Communion with the See or Church of Rome or shall profess the Popish religion or shall marry a papist shall be subject to such Incapacities '' as the Bill of Rights established . The clause precludes a Roman Catholic from succeeding to the throne . The monarch is required to be in communion with the Church of England . The Act of Settlement further provided that anyone who married a Roman Catholic was ineligible to succeed . The Act did not require that the spouse be Anglican ; it only barred those who marry Roman Catholics . Since the passage of the Act it has been determined ( in the case of Prince Edward , Duke of Kent ) that an individual is not barred because his or her spouse later converts to Roman Catholicism after their marriage . The Succession to the Crown Act 2013 removed the bar on individuals married to Roman Catholics , though not on Roman Catholics themselves . Treason Under the Treason Act 1702 and the Treason ( Ireland ) Act 1703 , it is treason to `` endeavour to deprive or hinder any person who shall be the next in succession to the crown ... from succeeding ... to the imperial crown of this realm '' . Since the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 , the maximum penalty has been life imprisonment . Accession The Accession Council normally meets in St James 's Palace to proclaim the new sovereign . In the Commonwealth realms , upon the death of a sovereign , the heir apparent or heir presumptive succeeds to the throne immediately , with no need for confirmation or further ceremony . Nevertheless , the Accession Council meets and decides upon the making of the accession proclamation , which by custom has for centuries been ceremonially proclaimed in public places , in London , York , Edinburgh and other cities . The anniversary is observed throughout the sovereign 's reign as Accession Day , including royal gun salutes in the United Kingdom . Formerly , a new sovereign proclaimed his or her own accession . But on the death of Elizabeth I an Accession Council met to proclaim the accession of James I to the throne of England . James was then in Scotland and reigning as King James VI of Scotland . This precedent has been followed since . Now , the Accession Council normally meets in St James 's Palace . Proclamations since James I 's have usually been made in the name of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal , the Privy Council , the Lord Mayor , Aldermen and citizens of the City of London and `` other principal Gentlemen of quality '' , though there have been variations in some proclamations . The proclamation of accession of Elizabeth II was the first to make mention of representatives of members of the Commonwealth . Upon his or her accession , a new sovereign is required by law to make and subscribe several oaths . The Bill of Rights of 1689 first required the sovereign to make a public declaration of non-belief in Roman Catholicism . This declaration , known as the Accession Declaration , is required to be taken at either the first meeting of parliament of his or her reign ( i.e. during the State Opening of Parliament ) or at his or her coronation , whichever occurs first . The current wording of this declaration was adopted in 1910 as the previous wording was deemed to be controversial and overtly anti-Catholic . Rather than denouncing Roman Catholicism , the sovereign now declares him or herself to be a Protestant and that he or she will `` uphold and maintain '' the Protestant succession . In addition to the Accession Declaration , the new sovereign is required by the Acts of Union 1707 to make an oath to `` maintain and preserve '' the Church of Scotland . This oath is normally made at the sovereign 's first meeting of the Privy Council following his or her accession . According to the Regency Act 1937 , should the sovereign be under the age of 18 , such oaths and declarations required to be taken by the sovereign shall be made upon his attainment of that age . After a period of mourning , the new sovereign is usually consecrated and crowned in Westminster Abbey . Normally , the Archbishop of Canterbury officiates , though the sovereign may designate any other bishop of the Church of England . A coronation is not necessary for a sovereign to reign ; for example , Edward VIII was never crowned , yet during his short reign was the undoubted king .

A balloon being inflated by the Steven 's Inflation Crew during training at Giants Stadium . The annual Macy 's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City , the world 's largest parade , is presented by the U.S. - based department store chain Macy 's . The tradition started in 1924 , tying it for the second - oldest Thanksgiving parade in the United States with America 's Thanksgiving Parade in Detroit ( with both parades being four years younger than Philadelphia 's Thanksgiving Day Parade ) . The three - hour Macy 's event is held in Manhattan starting at 9 : 00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on Thanksgiving Day , and has been televised nationally on NBC since 1952 . Employees at Macy 's department stores have the option of marching in the parade .

In 1924 , the annual Thanksgiving parade started in Newark , New Jersey by Louis Bamberger at the Bamberger 's store was transferred to New York City by Macy 's . In New York , the employees marched to Macy 's flagship store on 34th Street dressed in vibrant costumes . There were floats , professional bands and live animals borrowed from the Central Park Zoo . At the end of that first parade , as has been the case with every parade since , Santa Claus was welcomed into Herald Square . At this first parade , Santa was enthroned on the Macy 's balcony at the 34th Street store entrance , where he was then `` crowned '' `` King of the Kiddies . '' With an audience of over 250,000 people , the parade was such a success that Macy 's declared it would become an annual event . Anthony `` Tony '' Frederick Sarg loved to work with marionettes from an early age . After moving to London to start his own marionette business , Sarg moved to New York City to perform with his puppets on the street . Macy 's heard about Sarg 's talents and asked him to design a window display of a parade for the store . Sarg 's large animal - shaped balloons , produced by the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company in Akron , Ohio , replaced the live animals in 1927 . A popular belief was that a balloon version Felix the Cat balloon was the first character balloon in the parade back in 1927 . Macy 's also claimed that , but Felix actually made his first appearance in 1931 . At the finale of the 1928 parade , the balloons were released into the sky , where they unexpectedly burst . The following year , they were redesigned with safety valves to allow them to float for a few days . Address labels were sewn into them , so that whoever found and mailed back the discarded balloon received a gift from Macy 's . Through the 1930s , the Parade continued to grow , with crowds of over one million people lining the parade route in 1933 . The first Mickey Mouse balloon entered the parade in 1934 . The annual festivities were broadcast on local radio stations in New York City from 1932 to 1941 , and resumed in 1945 , running through 1951 . The parade was suspended from 1942 to 1944 as a result of World War II , owing to the need for rubber and helium in the war effort . The parade resumed in 1945 using the route that it followed until 2008 . The parade became known nationwide after being prominently featured in the 1947 film , Miracle on 34th Street , which included footage of the 1946 festivities . The event was first broadcast on network television in 1948 ( see below ) . By this point the event , and Macy 's sponsorship of it , were sufficiently well - known to give rise to the colloquialism `` Macy 's Day Parade '' . Since 1984 , the balloons have been made by Raven Aerostar ( a division of Sioux Falls , South Dakota - based Raven Industries ) . Macy 's also sponsored the smaller Celebrate the Season Parade in Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania , which is held two days after the main event , from 2006 to 2013 . Other American cities also have parades held on Thanksgiving , none of which are run by Macy 's . The nation 's oldest Thanksgiving parade ( the Gimbels parade , which has had many sponsors over the years , and is now known as the 6abc Dunkin ' Donuts Thanksgiving Day Parade ) was first held in Philadelphia in 1920 . Other cities with parades on the holiday include the McDonald 's Thanksgiving Parade in Chicago , Illinois and parades in Plymouth , Massachusetts ; Seattle , Washington ; Houston , Texas ; Detroit , Michigan ; and Fountain Hills , Arizona . A parade is held at the two Disney theme parks , Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort . There is also a second Thanksgiving balloon parade within the New York metropolitan area , the UBS balloon parade in Stamford , Connecticut , located 30 miles ( 48 km ) away ; that parade is held the Sunday before Thanksgiving , so as not to compete with the parade in New York City . It usually does not duplicate any balloon characters . The classic `` Macy 's Thanksgiving Day Parade '' logo ( seen below ) was , with one exception , last used in 2005 . For 2006 , a special variant of the logo was used . Every year since then , a new logo has been used for each parade . The logos however are seen rarely , if at all , on television as NBC has used its own logo with the word `` Macy 's '' in a script typeface and `` Thanksgiving Day Parade '' in a bold font . The logos are assumed to be for use by Macy 's only , such as on the Grandstand tickets and the ID badges worn by parade staff . The Jackets worn by parade staff still bear the original classic parade logo , this being the only place where that logo can be found . New safety measures were incorporated in 2006 to prevent accidents and balloon - related injuries . One measure taken was the installation of wind measurement devices to alert parade organizers to any unsafe conditions that could cause the balloons to behave erratically . In addition , parade officials implemented a measure to keep the balloons closer to the ground during windy conditions . If wind speeds are forecast to be higher than 34 miles per hour ( 55 km / h ) , all balloons are removed from the parade . Balloon introductions Since 2013 , the balloons in the Macy 's Thanksgiving Day Parade have come in two varieties . The first ( and older of the two ) is the novelty balloon class , consisting of smaller balloons ; the novelty balloons range widely in size and are handled by between one and thirty people ( the smallest novelty balloons are shaped like human heads and fit on the actual heads of the handlers ) . The second and more widely known is the full - size balloon class , primarily consisting of licensed pop - culture characters ; each of these is handled by exactly 90 people . From 2005 to 2012 , a third balloon class , the `` Blue Sky Gallery , '' transformed the works of contemporary artists into full - size balloons . The following is a list of balloons that have , over the years , been featured in the Macy 's Thanksgiving Day Parade , sorted by their first year in the lineup . Underlined items indicate entries in the Blue Sky Gallery .

College and high school marching bands from across the country participate in the parade , and the television broadcasts feature performances by established and up - and - coming singers and bands . The Rockettes of Radio City Music Hall are a classic performance as well ( having performed annually since 1957 as the last pre-parade act to perform and their performance was followed by a commercial break ) , as are cheerleaders and dancers chosen by the National Cheerleaders Association from various high schools across the country . The parade always concludes with the arrival of Santa Claus to ring in the Christmas and holiday season . On the NBC telecast from in front of the flagship Macy 's store on Broadway and 34th Street , the marching bands perform live music . Most `` live '' performances by musicals and individual artists lip sync to the studio , soundtrack or cast recordings of their songs , due to the technical difficulties of attempting to sing into a wireless microphone while in a moving vehicle ( performers typically perform on the floats themselves ) ; the NBC - flagged microphones used by performers on floats are almost always non-functioning props . Although rare , recent parade broadcasts have featured at least one live performance with no use of recorded vocals .

The 2007 parade was notable as it took place during a strike by the I.A.T.S.E. ( a stagehands ' union ) , and as such , Legally Blonde , the one performing musical affected by the strike , performed in show logo shirts , with makeshift props and no sets . The other three shows that year performed in theaters that were not affected by the strike .

Television coverage Tom the Turkey and Underdog arriving at Macy 's Herald Square during the 1979 edition of the parade . More than 44 million people watch the parade on television on an annual basis . It was first televised locally in New York City in 1939 as an experimental broadcast on NBC 's W2XBS ( forerunner of today 's WNBC ) . No television stations broadcast the parade in 1940 or 1941 , but when the parade returned in 1945 after the wartime suspension , local broadcasts also resumed . The parade began its network television appearances on CBS in 1948 , the year that major , regular television network programming began . NBC has been the official broadcaster of the event since 1952 , though CBS ( which has a studio in Times Square ) also carries unauthorized coverage under the title The Thanksgiving Day Parade on CBS . Since the parade takes place in public , the parade committee can endorse an official broadcaster , but they can not award exclusive rights as other events ( such as sporting events , which take place inside restricted - access stadiums ) have the authority to do . The rerouting of the parade that was implemented for the 2012 event ( see below ) moved the parade out of the view of CBS 's cameras and thus made it significantly more difficult for the network to cover the parade ( though the route now passes along the west side of the network 's Black Rock headquarters building along Sixth Avenue , and the hosts are stationed on a temporary tower platform at the Sixth / W. 53rd St. corner of the building ) ; CBS nevertheless continues to cover the parade to the same extent as in previous years . Since 2003 , the parade has been broadcast simultaneously in Spanish on the sister network of NBCUniversal ( Telemundo ) host by María Celeste Arrarás from 2003 - 2006 . The parade won nine Emmy Awards for outstanding achievements in special event coverage since 1979 . At first , the telecasts were only an hour long . In 1961 , the telecast expanded to two hours , and was then reduced to 90 minutes in 1962 , before reverting to a two - hour telecast in 1965 ; all three hours of the parade were televised by 1969 . The event began to be broadcast in color in 1960 . NBC airs the Macy 's Thanksgiving Day Parade live in the Eastern Time Zone , but tape delays the telecast elsewhere in the continental U.S. and territories from the Central Time Zone westward to allow the program to air in the same 9 : 00 a.m. to 12 : 00 p.m. timeslot across its owned - and - operated and affiliated stations ; since the morning program 's expansion to three hours in 2000 and eventually to four hours , NBC 's Today only airs for two hours Thanksgiving morning as a result , pre-empting the latter two talk - focused hours of the show for the day . NBC began airing a same - day afternoon rebroadcast of the parade in 2009 ( replacing the annual broadcast of Miracle on 34th Street , which NBC had lost the broadcast television rights to that year ) . CBS 's unauthorized coverage airs live in most time zones , allowing viewers to see the parade as many as two hours before the official NBC coverage airs in their area ; CBS still broadcasts the parade on delay on the West Coast , immediately after the Detroit Lions Thanksgiving game in years when CBS carries it , or at 9 a.m. local time in years they carry the Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving game . From 1962 to 1970 , NBC 's coverage was hosted by Lorne Greene ( who was then appearing on NBC 's Bonanza ) and Betty White . Ed McMahon co-hosted in 1971 , then hosted until 1981 . Since 1982 , NBC has appointed at least one of the hosts of Today to emcee the television broadcast , starting with Bryant Gumbel , who hosted the parade until 1986 . From 1987 to 1996 , NBC 's coverage was hosted by longtime Today weather anchor Willard Scott . During that period , their co-hosts included Mary Hart , Sandy Duncan , and Today colleagues Deborah Norville and Katie Couric . In recent years , NBC 's coverage has been hosted by Today anchors Matt Lauer ( from 1998 to 2017 ) , Meredith Vieira ( from 2006 to 2010 ) , Ann Curry ( 2011 ) and Savannah Guthrie ( since 2012 ) as well as Today weather anchor Al Roker who usually joins the producers of the parade and special guests in the ribbon cutting ceremony . From the early 1980s until circa 1994 , the television broadcast was produced and directed by Dick Schneider ; since circa 1994 , it has been executive produced by Brad Lachman ( who has otherwise been known for producing reality television series ) , produced by Bill Bracken and directed by veteran sitcom director Gary Halvorson . Announcements during the telecast were first provided by Don Pardo , followed by Lynda Lopez , the telecast 's only female announcer , who served during the decade wherein Willard Scott was the parade 's host ; from circa 1994 to 2010 , announcer duties were helmed by Joel Godard ( who also served as the announcer for Late Night with Conan O'Brien for much of that period ) , and then were assumed by Today announcer Les Marshak with the 2011 telecast . The musical director for the television coverage is veteran composer / arranger Milton DeLugg . CBS 's coverage was originally part of the `` All - American Thanksgiving Day Parade , '' a broadcast that included footage from multiple parades across North America , including parades at Detroit , Philadelphia and Disneyland ( the latter was later replaced by Opryland USA in 1997 and after that Miami Beach ) , and taped footage of the Toronto Santa Claus Parade ( taped usually the second or third weekend of November ) and the Aloha Floral Parade in Honolulu ( which usually took place in September ) . Beginning in 2004 , however , CBS has focused exclusively on the Macy 's parade , but avoids using the Macy 's name due to the lack of an official license . To compensate for the fact that the Broadway and music performances can only appear on NBC , CBS adds their own pre-recorded performances ( also including Broadway shows , although different from the ones that are part of the official parade and recorded off - site ) to fill out the special . For the 1997 parade , MTV guest reporters , Beavis and Butt - head , with host Kurt Loder , provided their usual style of commentary on aspects of the parade , and of their take on Thanksgiving in general . The special , titled Beavis and Butt - head Do Thanksgiving , included a balloon of Beavis and Butt - head spectating from their couch . The balloon was not participating in the parade , but stationed on top of a building alongside the parade route . Radio coverage is provided by Entercom 's WINS ( 1010 AM ) in New York City . It is one of the few times throughout the year in which that station breaks away from its all - news radio format . In 2016 , Verizon produced a 360 - degree virtual reality live telecast of the parade , with minimal commentary , made available through YouTube . Parade route The Parade has always taken place in Manhattan . The parade originally started from 145th Street in Harlem and ended at Herald Square , making a 6 - mile ( 9.7 km ) route . In the 1930s , the balloons were inflated in the area of 110th Street and Amsterdam Avenue near St. John the Divine Cathedral . The parade proceeded South on Amsterdam Avenue to 106th Street and turned east . At Columbus Avenue , the balloons had to be lowered to go under the Ninth Avenue El . Past the El tracks , the parade proceeded through 106th Street to Central Park West and turned south to terminate at Macy 's Department Store . A new route was established for the 2009 parade . From 77th Street and Central Park West , the route went south along Central Park to Columbus Circle , then east along Central Park South . The parade would then make a right turn at 7th Avenue and go south to Times Square . At 42nd Street , the parade turned left and went east , then at 6th Avenue turned right again at Bryant Park . Heading south on 6th Avenue , the parade turned right at 34th Street ( at Herald Square ) and proceeded west to the terminating point at 7th Avenue where the floats are taken down . The 2009 route change eliminated Broadway completely , where the parade has traveled down for decades . The City of New York said that the new route would provide more space for the parade , and more viewing space for spectators . Another reason for implementing the route change is the city 's plan to turn Broadway into a pedestrian - only zone at Times Square . Another new route was introduced with the 2012 parade . This change is similar to the 2009 route , but eliminated Times Square altogether . It is not advised to view the parade from Columbus Circle , as balloon teams race through it due to higher winds in this flat area . New York City officials preview the parade route and try to eliminate as many potential obstacles as possible , including rotating overhead traffic signals out of the way . Universal 's holiday parade Featuring Macy 's Since 2001 , Macy 's Studios has partnered with the Universal Orlando Resort ( owned by NBC parent NBCUniversal ) to bring balloons and floats from New York City to the theme park in Florida every holiday season in an event known as the Macy 's Holiday Parade . The parade is performed daily and includes the iconic Santa Claus float . Performers from the Orlando area are cast as various clowns , and the park used to invite guests to be `` balloon handlers '' for the parade . In 2017 , the Macy 's Holiday Parade was renamed to Universal 's Holiday Parade Featuring Macy 's . Injuries In 1993 , the Sonic the Hedgehog balloon crashed into a lamppost at Columbus Circle and injured a child and an off - duty police officer . In 1997 , very high winds pushed the Cat in the Hat balloon into a lamppost . The falling debris struck a parade - goer , fracturing her skull and leaving her in a coma for a month . Three other people were also injured from the lamp post . Size rules were implemented the next year , eliminating larger balloons like the Cat in the Hat . In 2005 , the M&M 's balloon caught on a streetlight in Times Square and dropped parts of the light onto two sisters were struck by the falling debris , suffering minor injuries . As a result , new safety rules were introduced . The M&M 's balloon was retired after 2006 . In popular culture The 1947 film Miracle on 34th Street , begins with the parade , as do most of its remakes . The film centers around the real Santa Claus being hired to work at Macy 's after its own Santa impersonator gets drunk during the parade . NBC , in its telecasts of the parade , often showed the original 1947 film on Thanksgiving afternoon , following its coverage of the parade and the National Dog Show . In the Seinfeld episode `` The Mom and Pop Store '' , Elaine wins a spot on the parade route for her boss , Mr. Pitt , to hold the Woody Woodpecker balloon . The first Thanksgiving - themed episode of Friends centered on the accidental release of the ( unused at the time ) `` Underdog '' balloon . `` Macy 's Day Parade '' is a song by Green Day . In 2008 , a Coca - Cola CGI ad aired in the United States during Super Bowl XLII . The commercial 's plot centered around Underdog and fictional Stewie Griffin balloons chasing a Coke bottle - shaped balloon through New York City . The spot ended with a Charlie Brown balloon holding the Coke balloon . The advertisement won a Silver Lion Award at the annual Lions International Advertising Festival in Cannes , France that year , and the clip of the commercial with the Griffin balloon was featured in a Macy 's commercial in October 2008 ( along with clips from Miracle on 34th Street , I Love Lucy , Seinfeld and other media where the Macy 's department store was mentioned ) . The commercial was also referenced in an episode of Family Guy . Stewie , who is one of the main characters in the show , is seen watching the parade only to see the balloon of himself in the parade . In the 2016 reboot of Ghostbusters , the new team of Ghostbusters fights a haunted balloon parade including several Macy 's balloons from the 1920s , 1930s and 1940s .

who created the macy's thanksgiving day parade
[ "In 1924, the annual Thanksgiving parade started in Newark, New Jersey by Louis Bamberger at the Bamberger's store was transferred to New York City by Macy's. In New York, the employees marched to Macy's flagship store on 34th Street dressed in vibrant costumes. There were floats, professional bands and live animals borrowed from the Central Park Zoo. At the end of that first parade, as has been the case with every parade since, Santa Claus was welcomed into Herald Square. At this first parade, Santa was enthroned on the Macy's balcony at the 34th Street store entrance, where he was then \"crowned\" \"King of the Kiddies.\" With an audience of over 250,000 people, the parade was such a success that Macy's declared it would become an annual event." ]

Maine Coon
Maine Coon - wikipedia Maine Coon Jump to : navigation , search Maine Coon A Maine Coon in the snow Other names Coon Cat Maine Cat Maine Shag Snowshoe Cat American Longhair American Coon Cat American Forest Cat Common nicknames Gentle giants Origin Maine , United States Breed standards CFA standard FIFe standard TICA standard ACF standard ACFA / CAA standard GCCF standard Domestic cat ( Felis catus ) The Maine Coon is one of the largest domesticated breeds of cat . It has a distinctive physical appearance and valuable hunting skills . It is one of the oldest natural breeds in North America , specifically `` native '' to the state of Maine ( though the feline was simply introduced there ) , where it is the official state cat . No records of the Maine Coon 's exact origins and date of introduction to the United States exist , so several competing hypotheses have been suggested . The breed was popular in cat shows in the late 19th century , but its existence became threatened when long - haired breeds from overseas were introduced in the early 20th century . The Maine Coon has since made a comeback and is now one of the more popular cat breeds in the world . The Maine Coon is a large and sociable cat , hence its nickname , `` the gentle giant . '' It is characterized by a prominent ruff along its chest , robust bone structure , triangular body shape , an uneven two layered coat with longer guard hairs with a silky satin under layer undercoat , and a long , bushy tail . The breed 's colors vary widely , with only lilac and chocolate disallowed for pedigree . Reputed for its intelligence and playful , gentle personality , the Maine Coon is often cited as having `` dog - like '' characteristics . Professionals notice certain health problems in the breed including feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and hip dysplasia , but reputable breeders use modern screening methods to minimize the frequency of these problems . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 1.1 Origin 1.2 Cat shows and popularity 2 Breed description 2.1 Diet 3 Health 4 References 5 Further reading History ( edit ) Origin ( edit ) The ancestral origins of the Maine Coon are unknown -- there are only speculation and folk tales . One such folk tale involves Marie Antoinette , the Queen of France , who was executed in 1793 . The story goes that before her death , Antoinette attempted to escape France with the help of Captain Samuel Clough . She loaded Clough 's ship with her most prized possessions , including six of her favorite Turkish Angora cats . Although she did not make it to the United States , her pets safely reached the shores of Wiscasset , Maine , where they bred with other short - haired breeds and developed into the modern breed of the Maine Coon . Another folk tale involves Captain Charles Coon , an English seafarer who kept long - haired cats aboard his ships . Whenever Coon 's ship would anchor in New England ports , the felines would exit the ship and mate with the local feral cat population . When long - haired kittens began appearing in the litters of the local cat population , they were referred to as one of `` Coon 's cats '' . A myth which is trait - based , though genetically impossible , is the idea that the modern Maine Coon descended from ancestors of semi-feral domestic cats and raccoons . This myth is likely based on the common color of the breed ( brown tabby ) and its bushy tail . Another idea is that the Maine Coon originated from the matings of domestic cats and wild bobcats , which could explain the tufts of hair that are so commonly seen on the tips of the ears . The generally accepted hypothesis among breeders is that the Maine Coon is descended from the pairings of local short - haired domestic cats and long - haired breeds brought overseas by English seafarers ( possibly by Captain Charles Coon ) or 11th - century Norsemen . The connection to the Norsemen is seen in the strong resemblance of the Maine Coon to the Norwegian Forest Cat , another breed that is said to be a descendant of cats that traveled with the Norsemen . Cat shows and popularity ( edit ) Cosey , winner of the first cat show in the United States , 1895 A two - year - old Maine Coon ( American Longhair ) cat The first mention of Maine Coons in a literary work was in 1861 , in Frances Simpson 's The Book of the Cat ( 1903 ) . F.R. Pierce , who owned several Maine Coons , wrote a chapter about the breed . During the late 1860s , farmers located in Maine told stories about their cats and held the `` Maine State Champion Coon Cat '' contest at the local Skowhegan Fair . In 1895 , a dozen Maine Coons were entered into a show in Boston . On 8 May 1895 , the first North American cat show was hosted at Madison Square Garden in New York City . A female Maine Coon brown tabby , named Cosey , was entered into the show . Owned by Mrs. Fred Brown , Cosey won the silver collar and medal and was named Best in Show . The silver collar was purchased by the Cat Fanciers ' Association ( CFA ) Foundation with the help of a donation from the National Capital Cat Show . The collar is housed at the CFA Central Office in the Jean Baker Rose Memorial Library . In the early 20th century , the Maine Coon 's popularity began to decline with the introduction of other long - haired breeds , such as the Persian , which originated in the Middle East . The last recorded win by a Maine Coon in a national cat show for over 40 years was in 1911 at a show in Portland , Oregon . The breed was rarely seen after that . The decline was so severe that the breed was declared extinct in the 1950s , although this declaration was considered to be exaggerated and reported prematurely at the time . The Central Maine Cat Club ( CMCC ) was created in the early 1950s by Alta Smith and Ruby Dyer in attempts to increase the popularity of the Maine Coon . For 11 years , the CMCC held cat shows and hosted exhibitions of photographs of the breed and is noted for creating the first written breed standards for the Maine Coon . The Maine Coon was denied provisional breed status -- one of the three steps required for a breed not yet recognized by the CFA to be able to compete in championship competitions -- by the CFA three times , which led to the formation of the Maine Coon Cat Club in 1973 . The breed was finally accepted by the CFA under provisional status on 1 May 1975 , and was approved for championship status on 1 May 1976 . The next couple of decades saw a rise in popularity of the Maine Coon , with championship victories and an increase in national rankings . In 1985 , the state of Maine announced that the breed would be named the official State Cat . Today the Maine Coon is the third most popular cat breed , according to the number of kittens registered with the CFA . Breed description ( edit ) The Maine Coon is the largest breed of domestic cat . On average , males weigh from 13 to 18 lb ( 5.9 to 8.2 kg ) with females weighing from 8 to 12 lb ( 3.6 to 5.4 kg ) . The height of adults can vary between 10 and 16 in ( 25 and 41 cm ) and they can reach a length of up to 48 in ( 120 cm ) , including the tail , which can reach a length of 14 in ( 36 cm ) and is long , tapering , and heavily furred , almost resembling a raccoon 's tail . The body is solid and muscular , which is necessary for supporting their own weight , and the chest is broad . Maine Coons possess a rectangular body shape and are slow to physically mature ; their full potential size is normally not reached until they are three to five years old , while other cats take about one year . In 2010 , the Guinness World Records accepted a male purebred Maine Coon named `` Stewie '' as the `` Longest Cat '' measuring 48.5 in ( 123 cm ) from the tip of his nose to the tip of his tail . Stewie died 4 February 2013 , from cancer at his home in Reno , Nevada , at age 8 . As of 2015 the living record - holder for `` Longest Cat '' is `` Ludo '' , measuring 3 ft 10.59 in ( 118.33 cm ) . He lives in Wakefield , UK . Large Maine Coons can overlap in length with Eurasian lynxes , although with a much lighter build and lower height . The Maine Coon is a long or medium haired cat . The coat is soft and silky , although texture may vary with coat color . The length is shorter on the head and shoulders , and longer on the stomach and flanks with some cats having a lion - like ruff around their neck . Minimal grooming is required for the breed , compared to other long - haired breeds , as their coat is mostly self - maintaining owing to a light - density undercoat . The coat is subject to seasonal variation , with the fur being thicker in the winter and thinner during the summer . Maine Coons can have any colors that other cats have . Colors indicating crossbreeding , such as chocolate , lavender , the Siamese pointed patterns or the `` ticked '' patterns , are not accepted by some breed standards ( the ' ticked ' pattern , for example , is accepted by TICA ) . The most common pattern seen in the breed is brown tabby . All eye colors are accepted under breed standards , with the exception of the occurrence of blue - colored or odd - eyes ( i.e. two eyes of different colors ) in cats possessing coat colors other than white . Maine Coons have several physical adaptations for survival in harsh winter climates . Their dense water - resistant fur is longer and shaggier on their underside and rear for extra protection when they are walking or sitting on top of wet surfaces of snow or ice . Their long and bushy raccoon - like tail is resistant to sinking in snow , and can be curled around their face and shoulders for warmth and protection from wind and blowing snow and it can even be curled around their backside like an insulated seat cushion when sitting down on a snow or ice surface . Large paws , and especially the extra-large paws of polydactyl Maine Coons , facilitate walking on snow and are often compared to snowshoes . Long tufts of fur growing between their toes help keep the toes warm and further aid walking on snow by giving the paws additional structure without significant extra weight . Heavily furred ears with extra long tufts of fur growing from inside help keep their ears warm . Many of the original Maine Coon cats that inhabited the New England area possessed a trait known as polydactylism ( having one or more extra toes on the feet ) . While some sources claim that trait is thought to have occurred in approximately 40 % of the Maine Coon population in Maine at one time , little evidence has been given to substantiate this claim . Polydactylism is rarely , if ever , seen in Maine Coons in the show ring since it is unacceptable by competition standards . The gene for polydactylism is a simple autosomal dominant gene , which has shown to pose no threat to the cat 's health . The trait was almost eradicated from the breed due to the fact that it was an automatic disqualifier in show rings . Private organizations and breeders were created in order to keep polydactylism in Maine Coons from disappearing . Maine Coons are known as the `` gentle giants '' and possess above - average intelligence , making them relatively easy to train . They are known for being loyal to their family and cautious -- but not mean -- around strangers , but are independent and not clingy . The Maine Coon is generally not known for being a `` lap cat '' but their gentle disposition makes the breed relaxed around dogs , other cats , and children . They are playful throughout their lives , with males tending to be more clownish and females generally possessing more dignity , yet both are equally affectionate . Many Maine Coons have a fascination with water and some theorize that this personality trait comes from their ancestors , who were aboard ships for much of their lives . Maine Coons are also well known for being very vocal cats . They are known for their frequent yowling or howling , trilling , chirping , and making other loud vocalizations . A sitting Maine Coon Female Maine Coon brown tabby , age 6 . A Maine Coon kitten at three days old Cream shaded Maine Coon Maine Coon silver tabby Maine Coon kitten at 75 days old Diet ( edit ) Maine Coons require ample protein and nutrients in their diets . Since they are a large cat breed with high levels of energy , it is best to feed them quality food . Food that lists meat as the first ingredient is best for the Maine Coon . Health ( edit ) An all - white Maine Coon A large Maine Coon Pet insurance data obtained from a study during years 2003 -- 2006 in Sweden puts the median lifespan of the Maine Coon at > 12.5 years . 74 % lived to 10 years or more and 54 % lived to 12.5 years or more . Maine Coons are generally a healthy and hardy breed and have adapted to survive the New England climate . The most severe threat is feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy ( HCM ) , the most common heart disease seen in cats , whether pure bred or not . In Maine Coons , it is thought to be inherited as an autosomal dominant trait . Middle - aged to older cats as well as males are thought to be predisposed to the disease . HCM is a progressive disease and can result in heart failure , paralysis of the hind legs due to clot embolization originating in the heart , and sudden death . A specific mutation that causes HCM is seen in Maine Coons for which testing services are offered . Of all the Maine Coons tested for the MyBPC mutation at the Veterinary Cardiac Genetics Lab at the College of Veterinary Medicine located at Washington State University , approximately one - third tested positive . Not all cats that tested positive will have clinical signs of the disease and some Maine Coon cats with clinical evidence of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy test negative for this mutation , strongly suggesting that a second mutation exists in the breed . The HCM prevalence was found to be 10.1 % ( 95 % CI 5.8 - 14.3 % ) in this study . Another potential health problem is spinal muscular atrophy ( SMA ) , another genetically inherited disease which causes the loss of the spinal - cord neurons which activate the skeletal muscles of the trunk and limbs . Symptoms are normally seen within 3 -- 4 months of age and result in muscle atrophy , muscle weakness , and a shortened life span . A test is offered to detect the genes responsible for SMA . Hip dysplasia is an abnormality of the hip joint which can cause crippling lameness and arthritis . The cats most commonly affected with hip dysplasia tend to be males of the larger , big - boned breeds such as Persians and Maine Coons . The relatively smaller size and weight of cats frequently results in symptoms that are less pronounced . X-rays submitted to the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals ( OFA ) between 1974 and 2011 indicates that 24.3 % of Maine Coons in the database were dysplastic . The Maine Coon is the only cat breed listed in the database . Polycystic kidney disease ( PKD ) is a slowly progressive disease affecting Persian and Persian - related breeds , in which fluid - filled cysts expand within the kidneys , destroying functional tissue . While renal cysts are observed with a low incidence in Maine Coons , PKD appears to be a misnomer in this particular breed . In a recent study spanning 8 years , renal cysts were documented by ultrasound in 7 of 187 healthy Maine Coons enrolled in a pre-breeding screening programme . The cysts were mostly single and unilateral ( 6 / 7 , 85.7 % ) small ( mean 3.6 mm in diameter ) and located at corticomedullary junction ( 4 / 6 , 66.7 % ) , thus different in size , numbers and location from those observed in Persian - related breeds . In the same study , not only did all six Maine Coon cats with renal cysts test negative for the PKD1 mutation , proving the disease in these cats to be unrelated to the PKD observed in Persians and related breeds , but gene sequencing of these cats failed to demonstrate any common genetic sequences . The presence of renal cysts , in the absence of other changes , does not appear to negatively impact the patients ' quality of life , as those for which follow - up was available were reported alive and well in adulthood . Although the exact nature and clinical relevance of renal cysts in Maine Coons is currently unknown , its screening is still recommended for pre-breeding assessment . Ultrasonography is currently the only valid diagnostic method for its detection in this breed . References ( edit ) Jump up ^ Desmond Morris ( 10 May 1999 ) .

Peter Bergman Peter Michael Bergman ( 1953 - 06 - 11 ) June 11 , 1953 ( age 65 ) Guantánamo Bay , Cuba Occupation Actor Spouse ( s ) Christine Ebersole ( 1976 -- 81 ; divorced ) Mariellen Bergman ( 1985 -- present ; 2 children ) Peter Michael Bergman ( born June 11 , 1953 ) is an American actor best known for his portrayals as Dr. Cliff Warner on All My Children ( 1979 -- 89 ) as well as Jack Abbott on The Young and the Restless ( 1989 -- present ) . Contents 1 Biography 2 Career 3 Filmography 4 Awards and nominations 5 See also 6 References 7 External links Biography ( edit ) The son of Walter Bergman , a United States Navy officer , he was born in Guantanamo Bay , Cuba . He later graduated from Crossland Senior High School in Camp Springs , Maryland . Bergman was married to actress Christine Ebersole from 1976 to 1981 . In 1985 , he married Mariellen , with whom he has two children . Career ( edit ) Bergman originally auditioned for the All My Children role of Dr. Jeff Martin . His first notable role was his portrayal of Dr. Cliff Warner on All My Children , which he played from 1979 to 1987 and again from 1988 - 89 . His character , Cliff , married Nina ( Taylor Miller ) four times ( 1980 , 1982 , 1986 , and 1989 ) and divorced her three times . When the characters left the serial , their fourth marriage was intact . In a Vicks Formula 44 cough syrup advertising campaign in 1986 , Bergman told the viewing audience , `` I 'm not a doctor , but I play one on TV . '' Chris Robinson , who played Dr. Rick Webber on ABC 's General Hospital , was the original spokesperson in the ad campaign , which started in 1984 . Bergman replaced Robinson after the latter experienced some legal difficulties . The writer of the commercial used this opening line as a disclaimer , because the then - existing `` white coat rule '' prohibited people from portraying doctors in commercials without some sort of clarification / disclaimer . The original commercial with Chris Robinson became the most - recalled TV commercial in the history of the Vicks brand . Since 1989 , Bergman has played the role of Jack Abbott on The Young and the Restless . In 1997 , Bergman portrayed Jack Abbott in an episode `` The Heather Biblow story '' on The Nanny , where he shared an on - screen kiss with Pamela Anderson . In 2001 , he guest starred as Jack on The King of Queens in an episode of Season 3 .

Statistical dispersion
Statistical dispersion - wikipedia Statistical dispersion Jump to : navigation , search This article needs additional citations for verification . Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( December 2010 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Example of samples from two populations with the same mean but different dispersion . The blue population is much more dispersed than the red population . In statistics , dispersion ( also called variability , scatter , or spread ) is the extent to which a distribution is stretched or squeezed . Common examples of measures of statistical dispersion are the variance , standard deviation , and interquartile range . Dispersion is contrasted with location or central tendency , and together they are the most used properties of distributions . Contents ( hide ) 1 Measures 2 Sources 3 A partial ordering of dispersion 4 See also 5 References Measures ( edit ) A measure of statistical dispersion is a nonnegative real number that is zero if all the data are the same and increases as the data become more diverse . Most measures of dispersion have the same units as the quantity being measured . In other words , if the measurements are in metres or seconds , so is the measure of dispersion . Examples of dispersion measures include : Standard deviation Interquartile range ( IQR ) Range Mean absolute difference ( also known as Gini mean absolute difference ) Median absolute deviation ( MAD ) Average absolute deviation ( or simply called average deviation ) Distance standard deviation These are frequently used ( together with scale factors ) as estimators of scale parameters , in which capacity they are called estimates of scale . Robust measures of scale are those unaffected by a small number of outliers , and include the IQR and MAD . All the above measures of statistical dispersion have the useful property that they are location - invariant and linear in scale . This means that if a random variable X has a dispersion of S then a linear transformation Y = aX + b for real a and b should have dispersion S = a S , where a is the absolute value of a , that is , ignores a preceding negative sign -- . Other measures of dispersion are dimensionless . In other words , they have no units even if the variable itself has units . These include : Coefficient of variation Quartile coefficient of dispersion Relative mean difference , equal to twice the Gini coefficient Entropy : While the entropy of a discrete variable is location - invariant and scale - independent , and therefore not a measure of dispersion in the above sense , the entropy of a continuous variable is location invariant and additive in scale : If Hz is the entropy of continuous variable z and y = ax + b , then Hy = Hx + log ( a ) . There are other measures of dispersion : Variance ( the square of the standard deviation ) -- location - invariant but not linear in scale . Variance - to - mean ratio -- mostly used for count data when the term coefficient of dispersion is used and when this ratio is dimensionless , as count data are themselves dimensionless , not otherwise . Some measures of dispersion have specialized purposes , among them the Allan variance and the Hadamard variance . For categorical variables , it is less common to measure dispersion by a single number ; see qualitative variation . One measure that does so is the discrete entropy . Sources ( edit ) In the physical sciences , such variability may result from random measurement errors : instrument measurements are often not perfectly precise , i.e. , reproducible , and there is additional inter-rater variability in interpreting and reporting the measured results . One may assume that the quantity being measured is stable , and that the variation between measurements is due to observational error . A system of a large number of particles is characterized by the mean values of a relatively few number of macroscopic quantities such as temperature , energy , and density . The standard deviation is an important measure in Fluctuation theory , which explains many physical phenomena , including why the sky is blue . In the biological sciences , the quantity being measured is seldom unchanging and stable , and the variation observed might additionally be intrinsic to the phenomenon : It may be due to inter-individual variability , that is , distinct members of a population differing from each other . Also , it may be due to intra-individual variability , that is , one and the same subject differing in tests taken at different times or in other differing conditions . Such types of variability are also seen in the arena of manufactured products ; even there , the meticulous scientist finds variation . In economics , finance , and other disciplines , regression analysis attempts to explain the dispersion of a dependent variable , generally measured by its variance , using one or more independent variables each of which itself has positive dispersion . The fraction of variance explained is called the coefficient of determination . A partial ordering of dispersion ( edit ) A mean - preserving spread ( MPS ) is a change from one probability distribution A to another probability distribution B , where B is formed by spreading out one or more portions of A 's probability density function while leaving the mean ( the expected value ) unchanged . The concept of a mean - preserving spread provides a partial ordering of probability distributions according to their dispersions : of two probability distributions , one may be ranked as having more dispersion than the other , or alternatively neither may be ranked as having more dispersion .

Board of directors
Board of directors - wikipedia Board of directors `` Board Room '' and `` Board of Trustees '' redirect here . For other uses , see Board Room ( disambiguation ) and Board of Trustees ( disambiguation ) . A meeting of a board of directors of the Leipzig -- Dresden Railway Company in 1852 A board of directors is a recognized group of people who jointly oversee the activities of an organization , which can be either a for - profit business , nonprofit organization , or a government agency . Such a board 's powers , duties , and responsibilities are determined by government regulations ( including the jurisdiction 's corporations law ) and the organization 's own constitution and bylaws . These authorities may specify the number of members of the board , how they are to be chosen , and how often they are to meet . In an organization with voting members , the board is accountable to , and might be subordinate to , the organization 's full membership , which usually vote for the members of the board . In a stock corporation , non-executive directors are voted for by the shareholders and the board is the highest authority in the management of the corporation . The board of directors appoints the chief executive officer of the corporation and sets out the overall strategic direction . In corporations with dispersed ownership , the identification and nomination of directors ( that shareholders vote for or against ) are often done by the board itself , leading to a high degree of self - perpetuation . In a non-stock corporation with no general voting membership , the board is the supreme governing body of the institution ; its members are sometimes chosen by the board itself .

For companies with publicly trading stock , these responsibilities are typically much more rigorous and complex than for those of other types . Typically , the board chooses one of its members to be the chairman ( often now called the `` chair '' or `` chairperson '' ) , who holds whatever title is specified in the by - laws or articles of association . However , in membership organizations , the members elect the president of the organization and the president becomes the board chair , unless the by - laws say otherwise . Directors ( edit ) The directors of an organization are the persons who are members of its board . Several specific terms categorize directors by the presence or absence of their other relationships to the organization . Inside director ( edit ) An inside director is a director who is also an employee , officer , chief executive , major shareholder , or someone similarly connected to the organization . Inside directors represent the interests of the entity 's stakeholders , and often have special knowledge of its inner workings , its financial or market position , and so on . Typical inside directors are : A chief executive officer ( CEO ) who may also be chairman of the board Other executives of the organization , such as its chief financial officer ( CFO ) or executive vice president Large shareholders ( who may or may not also be employees or officers ) Representatives of other stakeholders such as labor unions , major lenders , or members of the community in which the organization is located An inside director who is employed as a manager or executive of the organization is sometimes referred to as an executive director ( not to be confused with the title executive director sometimes used for the CEO position in some organizations ) . Executive directors often have a specified area of responsibility in the organization , such as finance , marketing , human resources , or production . Outside director ( edit ) Main article : Independent director An outside director is a member of the board who is not otherwise employed by or engaged with the organization , and does not represent any of its stakeholders . A typical example is a director who is president of a firm in a different industry . Outside directors are not employees of the company or affiliated with it in any other way . Outside directors bring outside experience and perspectives to the board . For example , for a company that only serves a domestic market , the presence of CEOs from global multinational corporations as outside directors can help to provide insights on export and import opportunities and international trade options . One of the arguments for having outside directors is that they can keep a watchful eye on the inside directors and on the way the organization is run . Outside directors are unlikely to tolerate `` insider dealing '' between insider directors , as outside directors do not benefit from the company or organization . Outside directors are often useful in handling disputes between inside directors , or between shareholders and the board . They are thought to be advantageous because they can be objective and present little risk of conflict of interest . On the other hand , they might lack familiarity with the specific issues connected to the organization 's governance and they might not know about the industry or sector in which the organization is operating . Terminology ( edit ) Director -- a person appointed to serve on the board of an organization , such as an institution or business . Inside director -- a director who , in addition to serving on the board , has a meaningful connection to the organization Outside director -- a director who , other than serving on the board , has no meaningful connections to the organization Executive director -- an inside director who is also an executive with the organization . The term is also used , in a completely different sense , to refer to a CEO Non-executive director -- an inside director who is not an executive with the organization Shadow or de facto director -- an individual who is not a named director but who nevertheless directs or controls the organization Nominee director -- an individual who is appointed by a shareholder , creditor or interest group ( whether contractually or by resolution at a company meeting ) and who has a continuing loyalty to the appointor / s or other interest in the appointing company Individual directors often serve on more than one board . This practice results in an interlocking directorate , where a relatively small number of individuals have significant influence over a large number of important entities . This situation can have important corporate , social , economic , and legal consequences , and has been the subject of significant research . Process and structure ( edit ) The examples and perspective in this section deal primarily with the United States and do not represent a worldwide view of the subject .

( May 2018 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The process for running a board , sometimes called the board process , includes the selection of board members , the setting of clear board objectives , the dissemination of documents or board package to the board members , the collaborative creation of an agenda for the meeting , the creation and follow - up of assigned action items , and the assessment of the board process through standardized assessments of board members , owners , and CEOs . The science of this process has been slow to develop due to the secretive nature of the way most companies run their boards , however some standardization is beginning to develop . Some who are pushing for this standardization in the USA are the National Association of Corporate Directors , McKinsey Consulting and The Board Group . Board meetings ( edit ) A board of directors conducts its meetings according to the rules and procedures contained in its governing documents . These procedures may allow the board to conduct its business by conference call or other electronic means . They may also specify how a quorum is to be determined . Most organizations have adopted Robert 's Rules of Order as its guide to supplement its own rules . In this book , the rules for conducting board meetings may be less formal if there is no more than about a dozen board members present . An example of the informality is that motions are not required if it 's clear what is being discussed . Size ( edit ) Historically , nonprofit boards have not uncommonly had large boards with up to twenty - four members , but a modern trend is to have smaller boards as small as six or seven people . Studies suggest that after seven people , each additional person reduces the effectiveness of group decision - making . Non-corporate boards ( edit ) The role and responsibilities of a board of directors vary depending on the nature and type of business entity and the laws applying to the entity ( see types of business entity ) . For example , the nature of the business entity may be one that is traded on a public market ( public company ) , not traded on a public market ( a private , limited or closely held company ) , owned by family members ( a family business ) , or exempt from income taxes ( a non-profit , not for profit , or tax - exempt entity ) . There are numerous types of business entities available throughout the world such as a corporation , limited liability company , cooperative , business trust , partnership , private limited company , and public limited company . Much of what has been written about boards of directors relates to boards of directors of business entities actively traded on public markets . More recently , however , material is becoming available for boards of private and closely held businesses including family businesses . A board - only organization is one whose board is self - appointed , rather than being accountable to a base of members through elections ; or in which the powers of the membership are extremely limited . Membership organizations ( edit ) In membership organizations , such as a society made up of members of a certain profession or one advocating a certain cause , a board of directors may have the responsibility of running the organization in between meetings of the membership , especially if the membership meets infrequently , such as only at an annual general meeting . The amount of powers and authority delegated to the board depend on the bylaws and rules of the particular organization . Some organizations place matters exclusively in the board 's control while in others , the general membership retains full power and the board can only make recommendations . The setup of a board of directors vary widely across organizations and may include provisions that are applicable to corporations , in which the `` shareholders '' are the members of the organization . A difference may be that the membership elects the officers of the organization , such as the president and the secretary , and the officers become members of the board in addition to the directors and retain those duties on the board . The directors may also be classified as officers in this situation . There may also be ex-officio members of the board , or persons who are members due to another position that they hold . These ex-officio members have all the same rights as the other board members . Members of the board may be removed before their term is complete . Details on how they can be removed are usually provided in the bylaws . If the bylaws do not contain such details , the section on disciplinary procedures in Robert 's Rules of Order may be used . Corporations ( edit ) In a publicly held company , directors are elected to represent and are legally obligated as fiduciaries to represent owners of the company -- the shareholders / stockholders . In this capacity they establish policies and make decisions on issues such as whether there is dividend and how much it is , stock options distributed to employees , and the hiring / firing and compensation of upper management . Governance ( edit ) Theoretically , the control of a company is divided between two bodies : the board of directors , and the shareholders in general meeting . In practice , the amount of power exercised by the board varies with the type of company . In small private companies , the directors and the shareholders are normally the same people , and thus there is no real division of power . In large public companies , the board tends to exercise more of a supervisory role , and individual responsibility and management tends to be delegated downward to individual professional executives ( such as a finance director or a marketing director ) who deal with particular areas of the company 's affairs . Another feature of boards of directors in large public companies is that the board tends to have more de facto power . Many shareholders grant proxies to the directors to vote their shares at general meetings and accept all recommendations of the board rather than try to get involved in management , since each shareholder 's power , as well as interest and information is so small . Larger institutional investors also grant the board proxies . The large number of shareholders also makes it hard for them to organize . However , there have been moves recently to try to increase shareholder activism among both institutional investors and individuals with small shareholdings . A contrasting view is that in large public companies it is upper management and not boards that wield practical power , because boards delegate nearly all of their power to the top executive employees , adopting their recommendations almost without fail . As a practical matter , executives even choose the directors , with shareholders normally following management recommendations and voting for them . In most cases , serving on a board is not a career unto itself . For major corporations , the board members are usually professionals or leaders in their field . In the case of outside directors , they are often senior leaders of other organizations . Nevertheless , board members often receive remunerations amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars per year since they often sit on the boards of several companies . Inside directors are usually not paid for sitting on a board , but the duty is instead considered part of their larger job description . Outside directors are usually paid for their services . These remunerations vary between corporations , but usually consist of a yearly or monthly salary , additional compensation for each meeting attended , stock options , and various other benefits . such as travel , hotel and meal expenses for the board meetings . Tiffany & Co. , for example , pays directors an annual retainer of $46,500 , an additional annual retainer of $2,500 if the director is also a chairperson of a committee , a per - meeting - attended fee of $2,000 for meetings attended in person , a $500 fee for each meeting attended via telephone , in addition to stock options and retirement benefits . Two - tier system ( edit ) In some European and Asian countries , there are two separate boards , an executive board for day - to - day business and a supervisory board ( elected by the shareholders and employees ) for supervising the executive board . In these countries , the CEO ( chief executive or managing director ) presides over the executive board and the chairman presides over the supervisory board , and these two roles will always be held by different people . This ensures a distinction between management by the executive board and governance by the supervisory board and allows for clear lines of authority . The aim is to prevent a conflict of interest and too much power being concentrated in the hands of one person . There is a strong parallel here with the structure of government , which tends to separate the political cabinet from the management civil service . In the United States , the board of directors ( elected by the shareholders ) is often equivalent to the supervisory board , while the executive board may often be known as the executive committee ( operating committee or executive council ) , composed of the CEO and their direct reports ( other C - level officers , division / subsidiary heads ) . History ( edit ) The meeting room of the Heren XVII ( nl ) , the Dutch East India Company 's board of directors , in the Oost - Indisch Huis ( Amsterdam ) . The Dutch East India Company ( VOC ) is often considered by many to be an early pioneering model of the modern corporation . In 1610 , the company established its administrative center ( the VOC 's second headquarters ) in Batavia with a Governor - General in charge , as the company 's de facto chief executive .

( April 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The development of a separate board of directors to manage / govern / oversee a company has occurred incrementally and indefinitely over legal history . Until the end of the 19th century , it seems to have been generally assumed that the general meeting ( of all shareholders ) was the supreme organ of a company , and that the board of directors merely acted as an agent of the company subject to the control of the shareholders in general meeting . However , by 1906 , the English Court of Appeal had made it clear in the decision of Automatic Self - Cleansing Filter Syndicate Co Ltd v Cuninghame ( 1906 ) 2 Ch 34 that the division of powers between the board and the shareholders in general meaning depended on the construction of the articles of association and that , where the powers of management were vested in the board , the general meeting could not interfere with their lawful exercise . The articles were held to constitute a contract by which the members had agreed that `` the directors and the directors alone shall manage . '' The new approach did not secure immediate approval , but it was endorsed by the House of Lords in Quin & Axtens v Salmon ( 1909 ) AC 442 and has since received general acceptance . Under English law , successive versions of Table A have reinforced the norm that , unless the directors are acting contrary to the law or the provisions of the Articles , the powers of conducting the management and affairs of the company are vested in them . The modern doctrine was expressed in John Shaw & Sons ( Salford ) Ltd v Shaw ( 1935 ) 2 KB 113 by Greer LJ as follows : A company is an entity distinct alike from its shareholders and its directors . Some of its powers may , according to its articles , be exercised by directors , certain other powers may be reserved for the shareholders in general meeting . If powers of management are vested in the directors , they and they alone can exercise these powers . The only way in which the general body of shareholders can control the exercise of powers by the articles in the directors is by altering the articles , or , if opportunity arises under the articles , by refusing to re-elect the directors of whose actions they disapprove . They can not themselves usurp the powers which by the articles are vested in the directors any more than the directors can usurp the powers vested by the articles in the general body of shareholders . It has been remarked that this development in the law was somewhat surprising at the time , as the relevant provisions in Table A ( as it was then ) seemed to contradict this approach rather than to endorse it . Election and removal ( edit ) The examples and perspective in this section 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 ) In most legal systems , the appointment and removal of directors is voted upon by the shareholders in general meeting or through a proxy statement . For publicly traded companies in the U.S. , the directors which are available to vote on are largely selected by either the board as a whole or a nominating committee . Although in 2002 the New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ required that nominating committees consist of independent directors as a condition of listing , nomination committees have historically received input from management in their selections even when the CEO does not have a position on the board . Shareholder nominations can only occur at the general meeting itself or through the prohibitively expensive process of mailing out ballots separately ; in May 2009 the SEC proposed a new rule allowing shareholders meeting certain criteria to add nominees to the proxy statement . In practice for publicly traded companies , the managers ( inside directors ) who are purportedly accountable to the board of directors have historically played a major role in selecting and nominating the directors who are voted on by the shareholders , in which case more `` gray outsider directors '' ( independent directors with conflicts of interest ) are nominated and elected . Directors may also leave office by resignation or death . In some legal systems , directors may also be removed by a resolution of the remaining directors ( in some countries they may only do so `` with cause '' ; in others the power is unrestricted ) . Some jurisdictions also permit the board of directors to appoint directors , either to fill a vacancy which arises on resignation or death , or as an addition to the existing directors. ( needs citation ) In practice , it can be quite difficult to remove a director by a resolution in general meeting . In many legal systems , the director has a right to receive special notice of any resolution to remove him or her ; the company must often supply a copy of the proposal to the director , who is usually entitled to be heard by the meeting . The director may require the company to circulate any representations that he wishes to make . Furthermore , the director 's contract of service will usually entitle him to compensation if he is removed , and may often include a generous `` golden parachute '' which also acts as a deterrent to removal . A recent study examines how corporate shareholders voted in director elections in the United States . It found that directors received fewer votes from shareholders when their companies performed poorly , had excess CEO compensation , or had poor shareholder protection . Also , directors received fewer votes when they did not regularly attend board meetings or received negative recommendations from a proxy advisory firm . The study also shows that companies often improve their corporate governance by removing poison pills or classified boards and by reducing excessive CEO pay after their directors receive low shareholder support . Board accountability to shareholders is a recurring issue . In 2010 , the New York Times noted that several directors who had overseen companies which had failed in the financial crisis of 2007 -- 2010 had found new positions as directors . The SEC sometimes imposes a ban ( a `` D&O bar '' ) on serving on a board as part of its fraud cases , and one of these was upheld in 2013 . Exercise of powers ( edit ) The exercise by the board of directors of its powers usually occurs in board meetings . Most legal systems require sufficient notice to be given to all directors of these meetings , and that a quorum must be present before any business may be conducted . Usually , a meeting which is held without notice having been given is still valid if all of the directors attend , but it has been held that a failure to give notice may negate resolutions passed at a meeting , because the persuasive oratory of a minority of directors might have persuaded the majority to change their minds and vote otherwise . In most common law countries , the powers of the board are vested in the board as a whole , and not in the individual directors . However , in instances an individual director may still bind the company by his acts by virtue of his ostensible authority ( see also : the rule in Turquand 's Case ) . Duties ( edit ) Main articles : Directors ' duties and Fiduciary duties Because directors exercise control and management over the organization , but organizations are ( in theory ) run for the benefit of the shareholders , the law imposes strict duties on directors in relation to the exercise of their duties . The duties imposed on directors are fiduciary duties , similar to those that the law imposes on those in similar positions of trust : agents and trustees . The duties apply to each director separately , while the powers apply to the board jointly . Also , the duties are owed to the company itself , and not to any other entity . This does not mean that directors can never stand in a fiduciary relationship to the individual shareholders ; they may well have such a duty in certain circumstances . `` Proper purpose '' ( edit ) Directors must exercise their powers for a proper purpose . While in many instances an improper purpose is readily evident , such as a director looking to feather his or her own nest or divert an investment opportunity to a relative , such breaches usually involve a breach of the director 's duty to act in good faith . Greater difficulties arise where the director , while acting in good faith , is serving a purpose that is not regarded by the law as proper . The seminal authority in relation to what amounts to a proper purpose is the Supreme Court decision in Eclairs Group Ltd v JKX Oil & Gas plc ( 2015 ) UKSC 71 ( 2 December 2015 ) . The case concerned the powers of directors under the articles of association of the company to disenfranchise voting rights attached to shares for failure to properly comply with notice served on the shareholders . Prior to that case the leading authority was Howard Smith Ltd v Ampol Ltd ( 1974 ) AC 821 . The case concerned the power of the directors to issue new shares . It was alleged that the directors had issued a large number of new shares purely to deprive a particular shareholder of his voting majority . An argument that the power to issue shares could only be properly exercised to raise new capital was rejected as too narrow , and it was held that it would be a proper exercise of the director 's powers to issue shares to a larger company to ensure the financial stability of the company , or as part of an agreement to exploit mineral rights owned by the company . If so , the mere fact that an incidental result ( even if it was a desired consequence ) was that a shareholder lost his majority , or a takeover bid was defeated , this would not itself make the share issue improper . But if the sole purpose was to destroy a voting majority , or block a takeover bid , that would be an improper purpose . Not all jurisdictions recognised the `` proper purpose '' duty as separate from the `` good faith '' duty however . `` Unfettered discretion '' ( edit ) Directors can not , without the consent of the company , fetter their discretion in relation to the exercise of their powers , and can not bind themselves to vote in a particular way at future board meetings . This is so even if there is no improper motive or purpose , and no personal advantage to the director . This does not mean , however , that the board can not agree to the company entering into a contract which binds the company to a certain course , even if certain actions in that course will require further board approval . The company remains bound , but the directors retain the discretion to vote against taking the future actions ( although that may involve a breach by the company of the contract that the board previously approved ) . `` Conflict of duty and interest '' ( edit ) As fiduciaries , the directors may not put themselves in a position where their interests and duties conflict with the duties that they owe to the company . The law takes the view that good faith must not only be done , but must be manifestly seen to be done , and zealously patrols the conduct of directors in this regard ; and will not allow directors to escape liability by asserting that his decision was in fact well founded . Traditionally , the law has divided conflicts of duty and interest into three sub-categories . Transactions with the company ( edit ) By definition , where a director enters into a transaction with a company , there is a conflict between the director 's interest ( to do well for himself out of the transaction ) and his duty to the company ( to ensure that the company gets as much as it can out of the transaction ) . This rule is so strictly enforced that , even where the conflict of interest or conflict of duty is purely hypothetical , the directors can be forced to disgorge all personal gains arising from it . In Aberdeen Ry v Blaikie ( 1854 ) 1 Macq HL 461 Lord Cranworth stated in his judgment that : `` A corporate body can only act by agents , and it is , of course , the duty of those agents so to act as best to promote the interests of the corporation whose affairs they are conducting . Such agents have duties to discharge of a fiduciary nature towards their principal . And it is a rule of universal application that no one , having such duties to discharge , shall be allowed to enter into engagements in which he has , or can have , a personal interest conflicting or which possibly may conflict , with the interests of those whom he is bound to protect ... So strictly is this principle adhered to that no question is allowed to be raised as to the fairness or unfairness of the contract entered into ... '' ( emphasis added ) However , in many jurisdictions the members of the company are permitted to ratify transactions which would otherwise fall foul of this principle . It is also largely accepted in most jurisdictions that this principle can be overridden in the company 's constitution . In many countries , there is also a statutory duty to declare interests in relation to any transactions , and the director can be fined for failing to make disclosure . Use of corporate property , opportunity , or information ( edit ) Directors must not , without the informed consent of the company , use for their own profit the company 's assets , opportunities , or information . This prohibition is much less flexible than the prohibition against the transactions with the company , and attempts to circumvent it using provisions in the articles have met with limited success . In Regal ( Hastings ) Ltd v Gulliver ( 1942 ) All ER 378 the House of Lords , in upholding what was regarded as a wholly unmeritorious claim by the shareholders , held that : `` ( i ) that what the directors did was so related to the affairs of the company that it can properly be said to have been done in the course of their management and in the utilisation of their opportunities and special knowledge as directors ; and ( ii ) that what they did resulted in profit to themselves . '' And accordingly , the directors were required to disgorge the profits that they made , and the shareholders received their windfall . The decision has been followed in several subsequent cases , and is now regarded as settled law . Competing with the company ( edit ) Directors can not compete directly with the company without a conflict of interest arising . Similarly , they should not act as directors of competing companies , as their duties to each company would then conflict with each other . Common law duties of care and skill ( edit ) Traditionally , the level of care and skill which has to be demonstrated by a director has been framed largely with reference to the non-executive director . In Re City Equitable Fire Insurance Co ( 1925 ) Ch 407 , it was expressed in purely subjective terms , where the court held that : `` a director need not exhibit in the performance of his duties a greater degree of skill than may reasonably be expected from a person of his knowledge and experience . '' ( emphasis added ) However , this decision was based firmly in the older notions ( see above ) that prevailed at the time as to the mode of corporate decision making , and effective control residing in the shareholders ; if they elected and put up with an incompetent decision maker , they should not have recourse to complain . However , a more modern approach has since developed , and in Dorchester Finance Co Ltd v Stebbing ( 1989 ) BCLC 498 the court held that the rule in Equitable Fire related only to skill , and not to diligence . With respect to diligence , what was required was : `` such care as an ordinary man might be expected to take on his own behalf . '' This was a dual subjective and objective test , and one deliberately pitched at a higher level . More recently , it has been suggested that both the tests of skill and diligence should be assessed objectively and subjectively ; in the United Kingdom , the statutory provisions relating to directors ' duties in the new Companies Act 2006 have been codified on this basis . Remedies for breach of duty ( edit ) In most jurisdictions , the law provides for a variety of remedies in the event of a breach by the directors of their duties : injunction or declaration damages or compensation restoration of the company 's property rescission of the relevant contract account of profits summary dismissal Current trends ( edit ) Historically , directors ' duties have been owed almost exclusively to the company and its members , and the board was expected to exercise its powers for the financial benefit of the company . However , more recently there have been attempts to `` soften '' the position , and provide for more scope for directors to act as good corporate citizens . For example , in the United Kingdom , the Companies Act 2006 requires directors of companies `` to promote the success of the company for the benefit of its members as a whole '' and sets out the following six factors regarding a director 's duty to promote success : the likely consequences of any decision in the long term the interests of the company 's employees the need to foster the company 's business relationships with suppliers , customers and others the impact of the company 's operations on the community and the environment the desirability of the company maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct , and the need to act fairly as between members of a company This represents a considerable departure from the traditional notion that directors ' duties are owed only to the company . Previously in the United Kingdom , under the Companies Act 1985 , protections for non-member stakeholders were considerably more limited ( see for example , s. 309 which permitted directors to take into account the interests of employees but which could only be enforced by the shareholders and not by the employees themselves ) . The changes have therefore been the subject of some criticism . United States ( edit ) Sarbanes -- Oxley Act ( edit ) The Sarbanes -- Oxley Act of 2002 has introduced new standards of accountability on boards of U.S. companies or companies listed on U.S. stock exchanges . Under the Act , directors risk large fines and prison sentences in the case of accounting crimes . Internal control is now the direct responsibility of directors . The vast majority of companies covered by the Act have hired internal auditors to ensure that the company adheres to required standards of internal control . The internal auditors are required by law to report directly to an audit board , consisting of directors more than half of whom are outside directors , one of whom is a `` financial expert . '' The law requires companies listed on the major stock exchanges ( NYSE , NASDAQ ) to have a majority of independent directors -- directors who are not otherwise employed by the firm or in a business relationship with it . Size ( edit ) According to the Corporate Library 's study , the average size of publicly traded company 's board is 9.2 members , and most boards range from 3 to 31 members . According to Investopedia , some analysts think the ideal size is seven . State law may specify a minimum number of directors , maximum number of directors , and qualifications for directors ( e.g. whether board members must be individuals or may be business entities ) . Committees ( edit ) While a board may have several committees , two -- the compensation committee and audit committee -- are critical and must be made up of at least three independent directors and no inside directors . Other common committees in boards are nominating and governance . Compensation ( edit ) Directors of Fortune 500 companies received median pay of $234,000 in 2011 . Directorship is a part - time job . A recent National Association of Corporate Directors study found directors averaging just 4.3 hours a week on board work . Surveys indicate that about 20 % of nonprofit foundations pay their board members , and 2 % of American nonprofit organizations do . 80 % of nonprofit organizations require board members to personally contribute to the organization , as BoardSource recommends . This percentage has increased in recent years . Criticism ( edit ) According to John Gillespie , a former investment banker and co-author of a book critical of boards , `` Far too much of their time has been for check - the - box and cover - your - behind activities rather than real monitoring of executives and providing strategic advice on behalf of shareholders '' . At the same time , scholars have found that individual directors have a large effect on major corporate initiatives such as mergers and acquisitions and cross-border investments . The issue of gender representation on corporate boards of directors has been the subject of much criticism in recent years . Governments and corporations have responded with measures such as legislation mandating gender quotas and comply or explain systems to address the disproportionality of gender representation on corporate boards . A study of the French corporate elite has found that certain social classes are also disproportionately represented on boards , with those from the upper and , especially , upper - middle classes tending to dominate .

Jump up ^ In summary , the facts were as follows : Company A owned a cinema , and the directors decided to acquire two other cinemas with a view to selling the entire undertaking as a going concern . They formed a new company ( `` Company B '' ) to take the leases of the two new cinemas . But the lessor insisted on various stipulations , one of which was that Company B had to have a paid up share capital of not less than £ 5,000 ( a substantial sum at the time ) . Company A was unable to subscribe for more than £ 2,000 in shares , so the directors arranged for the remaining 3,000 shares to be taken by themselves and their friends . Later , instead of selling the undertaking , they sold all of the shares in both companies and made a substantial profit . The shareholders of Company A sued asking that directors and their friends to disgorge the profits that they had made in connection with their 3,000 shares in Company B -- the very same shares which the shareholders in Company A had been asked to subscribe ( through Company A ) but refused to do so .

who appoints board of directors of a company
[ "In most legal systems, the appointment and removal of directors is voted upon by the shareholders in general meeting[a] or through a proxy statement. For publicly traded companies in the U.S., the directors which are available to vote on are largely selected by either the board as a whole or a nominating committee.[33] Although in 2002 the New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ required that nominating committees consist of independent directors as a condition of listing,[34] nomination committees have historically received input from management in their selections even when the CEO does not have a position on the board.[33] Shareholder nominations can only occur at the general meeting itself or through the prohibitively expensive process of mailing out ballots separately; in May 2009 the SEC proposed a new rule allowing shareholders meeting certain criteria to add nominees to the proxy statement.[35] In practice for publicly traded companies, the managers (inside directors) who are purportedly accountable to the board of directors have historically played a major role in selecting and nominating the directors who are voted on by the shareholders, in which case more \"gray outsider directors\" (independent directors with conflicts of interest) are nominated and elected.[33]\n" ]

Representative democracy ( also indirect democracy , representative republic , or psephocracy ) is a type of democracy founded on the principle of elected officials representing a group of people , as opposed to direct democracy . Nearly all modern Western - style democracies are types of representative democracies ; for example , the United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy , Ireland is a unitary parliamentary republic , and the United States is a federal republic . It is an element of both the parliamentary and the presidential systems of government and is typically used in a lower chamber such as the House of Commons ( United Kingdom ) or Dáil Éireann ( Republic of Ireland ) , and may be curtailed by constitutional constraints such as an upper chamber . It has been described by some political theorists including Robert A Dahl , Gregory Houston and Ian Liebenberg as polyarchy . In it the power is in the hands of the elected representatives who are elected by the people in elections . Contents ( hide ) 1 Powers of representatives 2 History 3 Research on representation per se 4 Criticisms 4.1 Proposed solutions 5 References 6 External links Powers of representatives ( edit ) Representatives are elected by the public , as in national elections for the national legislature . Elected representatives may hold the power to select other representatives , presidents , or other officers of the government or of the legislature , as the Prime Minister in the latter case . ( indirect representation ) . The power of representatives is usually curtailed by a constitution ( as in a constitutional democracy or a constitutional monarchy ) or other measures to balance representative power : An independent judiciary , which may have the power to declare legislative acts unconstitutional ( e.g. constitutional court , supreme court ) . The constitution may also provide for some deliberative democracy ( e.g. , Royal Commissions ) or direct popular measures ( e.g. , initiative , referendum , recall elections ) . However , these are not always binding and usually require some legislative action -- legal power usually remains firmly with representatives . In some cases , a bicameral legislature may have an `` upper house '' that is not directly elected , such as the Canadian Senate , which was in turn modeled on the British House of Lords . Theorists such as Edmund Burke believe that part of the duty of a representative was not simply to communicate the wishes of the electorate but also to use their own judgement in the exercise of their powers , even if their views are not reflective of those of a majority of voters : ... it ought to be the happiness and glory of a representative to live in the strictest union , the closest correspondence , and the most unreserved communication with his constituents . Their wishes ought to have great weight with him ; their opinion , high respect ; their business , unremitted attention . It is his duty to sacrifice his repose , his pleasures , his satisfactions , to theirs ; and above all , ever , and in all cases , to prefer their interest to his own . But his unbiassed opinion , his mature judgment , his enlightened conscience , he ought not to sacrifice to you , to any man , or to any set of men living . These he does not derive from your pleasure ; no , nor from the law and the constitution . They are a trust from Providence , for the abuse of which he is deeply answerable . Your representative owes you , not his industry only , but his judgment ; and he betrays , instead of serving you , if he sacrifices it to your opinion . History ( edit ) See also : Democratization The Roman Republic was the first government in the western world to have a representative government , despite taking the form of a direct government in the Roman assemblies . The Roman model of governance inspired many political thinkers over the centuries , and today 's modern representative democracies imitate more the Roman than the Greek models because it was a state in which supreme power was held by the people and their elected representatives , and which had an elected or nominated leader . Representative democracy is a form of democracy in which people vote for representatives who then vote on policy initiatives as opposed to a direct democracy , a form of democracy in which people vote on policy initiatives directly . A European medieval tradition of selecting representatives from the various estates ( classes , but not as we know them today ) to advise / control monarchs led to relatively wide familiarity with representative systems inspired by Roman systems . In Britain , Simon de Montfort is remembered as one of the fathers of representative government for holding two famous parliaments . The first , in 1258 , stripped the King of unlimited authority and the second , in 1265 , included ordinary citizens from the towns . Later , in the 17th century , the Parliament of England pioneered some of the ideas and systems of liberal democracy culminating in the Glorious Revolution and passage of the Bill of Rights 1689 . The American Revolution led to the creation of a new Constitution of the United States in 1787 . The ' Three - Fifths Compromise ' allowed the southern slaveholders to consolidate power and maintain slavery in America for another eighty years , but through the expansion of voting rights and liberties over subsequent decades and centuries the elected government became responsible to the will of the people . In 1789 , Revolutionary France adopted the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen and , although short - lived , the National Convention was elected by all males in 1792 . Representative democracy came into particular general favour in post-industrial revolution nation states where large numbers of citizens evinced interest in politics , but where technology and population figures remained unsuited to direct democracy . As noted above , Edmund Burke in his speech to the electors of Bristol classically analysed their operation in Britain and the rights and duties of an elected representative . The US House of Representatives , one example of representative democracy Globally , a majority of the world 's people live in representative democracies including constitutional monarchies and republics with strong representative branches . Research on representation per se ( edit ) Further information : Representation ( politics ) Separate but related , and very large , bodies of research in political philosophy and social science investigate how and how well elected representatives , such as legislators , represent the interests or preferences of one or another constituency . Criticisms ( edit ) In his book Political Parties , written in 1911 , Robert Michels argues that most representative systems deteriorate towards an oligarchy or particracy . This is known as the iron law of oligarchy . Representative democracies which are stable have been analysed by Adolf Gasser and compared to the unstable representative democracies in his book `` Gemeindefreiheit als Rettung Europas '' which was published in 1943 ( first edition in German ) and a second edition in 1947 ( in German ) . Adolf Gasser stated the following requirements for a representative democracy in order to remain stable , unaffected by the iron law of oligarchy : Society has to be built up from bottom to top . As a consequence , society is built up by people , who are free and have the power to defend themselves with weapons . These free people join or form local communities . These local communities are independent , which includes financial independence , and they are free to determine their own rules . Local communities join together into a higher unit e.g. a canton . There is no hierarchical bureaucracy . There is competition between these local communities e.g. on services delivered or on taxes . A drawback to this type of government is that elected officials are not required to fulfill promises made before their election and are able to promote their own self - interests once elected , providing an incohesive system of governance . Legislators are also under scrutiny as the system of majority - won legislators voting for issues for the large group of people fosters inequality among the marginalized . Proposed solutions ( edit ) The system of stochocracy has been proposed as an improved system compared to the system of representative democracy , where representatives are elected . Stochocracy aims to at least reduce this degradation by having all representatives appointed by lottery instead of by voting . Therefore , this system is also called lottocracy . The system was proposed by the writer Roger de Sizif in 1998 in his book La Stochocratie . Choosing officeholders by lot was also the standard practice in ancient Athenian democracy . The rationale behind this practice was to avoid lobbying and electioneering by economic oligarchs . The system of deliberative democracy is a mix between a majority ruled system and a consensus - based system . It allows for representative democracies or direct democracies to coexist with its system of governance , providing an initial advantage . It is a system which allows for legislators to discuss the issues in a productive manner trying to reach a consensus . If the group can not reach a consensus then a majority - wins vote must be taken . The system of delegative democracy or Liquid Democracy is a dynamic mixture of representative democracy and direct democracy , meaning that each participant can decide himself when he wants to participate in a decision by direct voting , or whether he rather wants a delegate to vote for him by using a software system . The voter can delegate his vote an organization , a political party or an individual . One can have different delegates in different subject areas , and always change the delegate . When the voter votes directly in an issue , the delegates vote will be erased and the direct vote will be counted . This system also contains room for popular initiatives and deliberation . The first example of delegative or Liquid Democracy using a software program in a real political setting involved the local political party Demoex in Vallentuna near Stockholm , Sweden . Pirate Parties in Germany , Italy , Austria , Norway , France and the Netherlands use delegative democracy with the open - source software LiquidFeedback , while members of the Belgian Pirate Party have developed their own software called Get Opinionated .

The rising commercial class that had supported the Tudor monarchy in the 16th century led the revolutionary battle in the 17th , and succeeded in establishing the supremacy of Parliament and , eventually , of the House of Commons . What emerged as the distinctive feature of modern constitutionalism was not the insistence on the idea that the king is subject to law ( although this concept is an essential attribute of all constitutionalism ) . This notion was already well established in the Middle Ages . What was distinctive was the establishment of effective means of political control whereby the rule of law might be enforced . Modern constitutionalism was born with the political requirement that representative government depended upon the consent of citizen subjects ... However , as can be seen through provisions in the 1689 Bill of Rights , the English Revolution was fought not just to protect the rights of property ( in the narrow sense ) but to establish those liberties which liberals believed essential to human dignity and moral worth . The `` rights of man '' enumerated in the English Bill of Rights gradually were proclaimed beyond the boundaries of England , notably in the American Declaration of Independence of 1776 and in the French Declaration of the Rights of Man in 1789 .

which political practice was created in the roman republic that we use in america today
[ "The Roman Republic was the first government in the western world to have a representative government, despite taking the form of a direct government in the Roman assemblies. The Roman model of governance inspired many political thinkers over the centuries,[7] and today's modern representative democracies imitate more the Roman than the Greek models because it was a state in which supreme power was held by the people and their elected representatives, and which had an elected or nominated leader.[8] Representative democracy is a form of democracy in which people vote for representatives who then vote on policy initiatives as opposed to a direct democracy, a form of democracy in which people vote on policy initiatives directly.[9] A European medieval tradition of selecting representatives from the various estates (classes, but not as we know them today) to advise/control monarchs led to relatively wide familiarity with representative systems inspired by Roman systems." ]

The theme tune was performed by Lulu , composed by John Barry , and the lyrics to the song were written by Don Black . Alice Cooper claims his song `` The Man With The Golden Gun '' was to be used by the film 's producers until it was dropped for Lulu 's song instead . Cooper 's song appears on his album Muscle of Love . Barry considered the theme tune -- the only Bond film title track not to chart as a single in either the U.K. or U.S. -- and score to be among the weakest of his contributions to the series : `` It 's the one I hate most ... it just never happened for me . '' Certainly the title song is notable for having suggestive lyrics , and during a TV celebration for the series ' 40th anniversary , Lulu 's performance was introduced with reference to its being the raunchiest of all Bond songs . For the first time , the song 's end theme is not a straight reprise of the opener , as it begins with different lyrics ( subsequent films followed suit with variations in arrangement , ahead of a new practice of using a different song altogether ) . Some Bond music fans consider Lulu 's brassy vocal to be effective in setting the tone for the film 's female characters . The film was also the first to drop the distinctive plucked guitar from the Bond theme heard over the gun barrel sequence - in all subsequent John Barry James Bond scores , this theme would be heard on strings and trumpet . Not present on the album but heard in the film is a brief reprise , for recognition purposes , of the song `` Live and Let Die '' when a character ( Sheriff JW Pepper ) from the previous film reappears . The next three Bond films would wittily feature excerpts from the familiar music of other films , too ( though classics rather than Bond films ) , while On Her Majesty 's Secret Service had included a janitor character whistling the theme from Goldfinger as an in - joke . The popular song `` Mindfields '' by The Prodigy ( released on The Fat of the Land ) features a specific part of `` Hip 's Trip '' . Barry gave the band permission to do so .

It is located near the downtown area of Washington , D.C. , the capital city of the United States , and is administered by the National Park Service ( NPS ) of the United States Department of the Interior . The term National Mall commonly includes areas that are also officially part of neighboring West Potomac Park and Constitution Gardens to the southwest . The term is often taken to refer to the entire area between the Lincoln Memorial on the west and east to the United States Capitol grounds , with the Washington Monument dividing the area slightly west of its midpoint . A smaller designation sometimes referred to as the National Mall ( proper ) excludes both the Capitol grounds and the Washington Monument grounds , applying only to an area between them . The National Mall contains and borders a number of museums of the Smithsonian Institution , art galleries , cultural institutions , and various memorials , sculptures , and statues . The park receives approximately 24 million visitors each year .

L'Enfant City Plan ( edit ) In his 1791 plan for the future city of Washington , D.C. , Pierre ( Peter ) Charles L'Enfant envisioned a garden - lined `` grand avenue '' approximately 1 mile ( 1.6 km ) in length and 400 feet ( 120 m ) wide , in an area that would lie between the Capitol building and an equestrian statue of George Washington to be placed directly south of the White House ( see L'Enfant Plan ) . The National Mall ( proper ) occupies the site of this planned `` grand avenue '' , which was never constructed . Mathew Carey 's 1802 map is reported to be the first to name the area west of the United States Capitol as the `` Mall '' . The Washington City Canal , completed in 1815 in accordance with the L'Enfant Plan , travelled along the former course of Tiber Creek to the Potomac River along the present line of Constitution Avenue , NW ( formerly B Street , NW ) and south around the Capitol , thus defining the northern and eastern boundaries of the Mall . Being shallow and often obstructed by silt , the canal served only a limited role and became an open sewer . The portion of the canal that traveled near the Mall was covered over in 1871 for sanitary reasons . The Smithsonian Institution Building ( `` The Castle '' ) , constructed from 1847 to 1855 , is the oldest building now present on the National Mall . The Washington Monument , whose construction began in 1848 , stands near the planned site of its namesake 's equestrian statue . Downing Plan ( edit ) During the early 1850s , architect and horticulturist Andrew Jackson Downing designed a landscape plan for the Mall . Over the next half century , federal agencies developed several naturalistic parks within the Mall in accordance with Downing 's plan . Two such areas were Henry Park and Seaton Park . During that period , the Mall was subdivided into several areas along B Street NW : The Monument Grounds between 17th and 14th Street NW The Agricultural Grounds between 14th and 12th Street NW The Smithsonian Grounds between 12th and 7th Street NW The Armory Square between 7th and 6th Street NW The Public Grounds between 6th and 2nd Street NW Map of the Mall in 1893 showing the Monument Grounds , Agricultural Grounds , Smithsonian Grounds , Armory Square , Public Grounds and Botanical Garden Looking east from the top of the Washington Monument towards the United States Capitol in the summer of 1901 . The Mall exhibited the Victorian - era landscape of winding paths and random plantings that Andrew Jackson Downing designed in the 1850s . In 1856 , the Armory ( No. 27 on the map above ) was built at the intersection of B Street SW and 6th Street SW on the Armory Grounds . In 1862 , during the American Civil War , the building was converted to a military hospital known as Armory Square Hospital to house Union Army casualties . After the war ended , the Armory building became the home of the United States Fish Commission. . The United States Congress established the United States Department of Agriculture in 1862 during the Civil War . Designed by Adolf Cluss and Joseph von Kammerhueber , the United States Department of Agriculture Building ( No. 25 on the map ) , was constructed in 1867 - 1868 on a 35 - acre site on the Mall . After the war ended , the Department started growing experimental crops and demonstration gardens on the Mall . These gardens extended from the Department 's building on the south side of the Mall to B Street NW ( the northern boundary of the Mall ) . The building was razed in 1930 . In addition , greenhouses belonging to the U.S. Botanical Garden ( No. 16 on the map ) appeared near the east end of the Mall between the Washington City Canal and the Capitol ( later between 1st and 3rd Streets ) . Originating during the early 1800s as a collection of market stalls immediately north of the Washington City Canal and the Mall , the Center Market ( No. 19 on the map ) , which Adolf Cluss also designed , opened in 1872 soon after the canal closed . Located on the north side of Constitution Avenue NW ( formerly B Street NW ) , the National Archives now occupies the Market 's site . During that period , railroad tracks crossed the Mall on 6th Street , west of the Capitol . Near the tracks , several structures were built over the years . The Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Station ( B on the map ) rose in 1873 on the north side of the Mall at the southwest corner of 6th Street and B Street NW ( now the site of the west building of the National Gallery of Art ) . In 1887 , the Army Medical Museum and Library , which Adolph Class designed in 1885 , opened on the Mall at northwest corner of B Street SW ( now Independence Avenue SW ) and 7th Street SW . The Smithsonian Institution 's Hirshhorn Museum now occupies the site of the building , which was demolished in 1968 . 1863 photograph of the National Mall and vicinity during the Civil War , looking west towards the U.S. Botanical Garden , Washington City Canal , railroad tracks , Gas Works , Washington Armory , Armory Square Hospital buildings and the Smithsonian Institution Building , with the uncompleted Washington Monument and the Potomac River in the background Department of Agriculture Building , circa 1895 The Armory as a hospital during the Civil War Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Station Center Market , circa 1875 Center Market , between 1910 and 1930 Army Medical Museum and Library McMillan Plan ( edit ) The National Mall was the centerpiece of the 1902 McMillan Plan . A central open vista traversed the length of the Mall . Uncle Beazley on the National Mall between 1980 and 1994 In 1902 , the McMillan Commission 's plan , which was partially inspired by the City Beautiful Movement and which purportedly extended L'Enfant's plan , called for a radical redesign of the Mall that would replace its greenhouses , gardens , trees , and commercial / industrial facilities with an open space . The plan differed from L'Enfant's by replacing the 400 feet ( 120 m ) wide `` grand avenue '' with a 300 feet ( 91 m ) wide vista containing a long and broad expanse of grass . Four rows of American elm ( Ulmus americana ) trees planted fifty feet apart between two paths or streets would line each side of the vista . Buildings housing cultural and educational institutions constructed in the Beaux - Arts style would line each outer path or street , on the opposite side of the path or street from the elms . In subsequent years , the vision of the McMillan plan was generally followed with the planting of American elms and the layout of four boulevards down the Mall , two on either side of a wide lawn . In accordance with a plan that it completed in 1976 , the NPS converted the two innermost boulevards ( Washington and Adams Drives ) into gravel walking paths . The two outermost boulevards ( Jefferson Drive Southwest ( SW ) and Madison Drive Northwest ( NW ) ) remain paved and open to vehicular traffic . In 1918 contractors for the United States Navy 's Bureau of Yards and Docks constructed the `` Main Navy '' and `` Munitions '' Buildings along nearly a third of a mile of the south side of Constitution Avenue ( then known as B Street ) , from 17th Street NW to 21st Street NW . Although the Navy intended the buildings to provide temporary quarters for the United States military during World War I , the reinforced concrete structures remained in place until 1970 . Much of the buildings ' area then became Constitution Gardens , which was dedicated in 1976 .

The life - size statue , which is now located at the National Zoological Park ( the National Zoo ) in Northwest Washington , D.C. , was donated to the Smithsonian Institution by the Sinclair Oil Corporation . The statue , which Louis Paul Jonas created for Sinclair 's DinoLand pavilion at the 1964 New York World 's Fair , was named after a dinosaur in Oliver Butterworth 's 1956 children 's book , The Enormous Egg , and the 1968 televised movie adaptation in which the statue appeared . In 2003 , the 108th United States Congress enacted the Commemorative Works Clarification and Revision Act . This Act prohibits the siting of new commemorative works and visitor centers in a designated reserve area within the cross-axis of the Mall . In October 2013 , a two - week federal government shutdown closed the National Mall and its museums and monuments . However , when a group of elderly veterans tried to enter the National World War II Memorial during the shutdown 's first day , the memorial 's barricades were removed . The NPS subsequently announced that the veterans had a legal right to be in the memorial and would not be barred in the future . During the shutdown 's second week , the NPS permitted a controversial immigration rally and concert to take place on the Mall . On October 15 , 1966 , the NPS listed the National Mall on the National Register of Historic Places . In 1981 , the NPS prepared a National Register nomination form that documented the Mall 's boundaries , features and historical significance . On December 8 , 2016 , the NPS listed on the National Register of Historic Places an increase in the National Mall Historic District 's boundary to encompass an area bounded by 3rd Street , NW / SW , Independence Avenue , SW , Raoul Wallenberg Place , SW , the CSX Railroad , the Potomac River , Constitution Ave. , NW , 17th Street , NW , the White House Grounds and 15th Street , NW . The listing 's registration form , which contained 232 pages , described and illustrated the history and features of the historic district 's proposed expanded area . Measurements ( edit ) Dimensions ( edit ) See also : Geography of Washington , D.C. Between the Capitol steps and the Lincoln Memorial , the Mall spans 1.9 miles ( 3.0 km ) . Between the Capitol steps and the Washington Monument , the Mall spans 1.2 miles ( 1.8 km ) . Between the Ulysses S. Grant Memorial and the Lincoln Memorial , the Mall covers 309.2 acres ( 125.13 ha ) . Between Constitution Avenue NW and Independence Avenue SW at 7th Street , the width of the Mall is 1,586 feet ( 483 m ) . Between Madison Drive NW and Jefferson Drive SW at 7th Street , the width of the Mall 's open space is 656 feet ( 200 m ) . Between the innermost rows of trees near 7th Street , the width of the Mall 's vista is 300 feet ( 91 m ) . Boundaries ( edit ) In its 1981 National Register of Historic Places nomination form , the NPS defined the boundaries of the National Mall ( proper ) as Constitution and Pennsylvania Avenues on the north , 1st Street NW on the east , Independence and Maryland Avenues on the south , and 14th Street NW on the west , with the exception of the section of land bordered by Jefferson Drive on the north , Independence Avenue on the south , and by 12th and 14th Streets respectively on the east and west , which the U.S. Department of Agriculture administers and which contains the Jamie L. Whitten Building ( U.S. Department of Agriculture Administration Building ) . A 2012 - 2016 NPS National Parks index describes the National Mall as being a landscaped park that extends from the Capitol to the Washington Monument , defined as a principal axis in the L'Enfant Plan for the city of Washington . However , a 2010 NPS plan for the Mall contains maps that show the Mall 's general area to be larger . A document within the plan describes this area as `` the grounds of the U.S. Capitol west to the Potomac River , and from the Thomas Jefferson Memorial north to Constitution Avenue '' . A map within the plan entitled `` National Mall Areas '' illustrates `` The Mall '' as being the green space bounded on the east by 3rd Street , on the west by 14th Street , on the north by Jefferson Drive , NW , and on the south by Madison Drive , SW . A Central Intelligence Agency map shows the Mall as occupying the space between the Lincoln Memorial and the United States Capitol . In 2011 , the 112th United States Congress enacted the Legislative Branch Appropriations Act , 2012 , which transferred to the Architect of the Capitol the NPS `` property which is bounded on the north by Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest , on the east by First Street Northwest and First Street Southwest , on the south by Maryland Avenue Southwest , and on the west by Third Street Southwest and Third Street Northwest '' . This act removed Union Square ( the area containing the Ulysses S. Grant Memorial and the Capitol Reflecting Pool ) from NPS jurisdiction . Purposes ( edit ) The National Park Service states that the purposes of the National Mall are to : Provide a monumental , dignified , and symbolic setting for the governmental structures , museums and national memorials as first delineated by the L'Enfant plan and further outlined in the McMillan plan . Maintain and provide for the use of the National Mall with its public promenades as a completed work of civic art , a designed historic landscape providing extraordinary vistas to symbols of the nation . Maintain National Mall commemorative works ( memorials , monuments , statues , sites , gardens ) that honor presidential legacies , distinguished public figures , ideas , events , and military and civilian sacrifices and contributions . Forever retain the West Potomac Park section of the National Mall as a public park for recreation and enjoyment of the people . Maintain the National Mall in the heart of the nation 's capital as a stage for national events and a preeminent national civic space for public gatherings because it is here that the constitutional rights of speech and peaceful assembly find their fullest expression . Maintain the National Mall as an area free of commercial advertising while retaining the ability to recognize sponsors .

Dutch elm disease ( DED ) first appeared on the Mall during the 1950s and reached a peak in the 1970s . The NPS has used a number of methods to control this fungal epidemic , including sanitation , pruning , injecting trees with fungicide , replanting with DED - resistant American elm cultivars and combatting the disease 's local insect vector , the smaller European elm bark beetle ( Scolytus multistriatus ) , by trapping and by spraying with insecticides . Soil compaction and root damage by crowds and construction projects also adversely affect the elms .

Memorial George Mason Memorial United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Bureau of Engraving and Printing Usage ( edit ) The National Mall , in combination with the other attractions in the Washington Metropolitan Area , makes the nation 's capital city one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country . It has several other uses in addition to serving as a tourist focal point . The 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on the National Mall facing east from the Lincoln Memorial Protests and rallies ( edit ) Further information : List of rallies and protest marches in Washington , D.C. and List of political rallies on the National Mall The National Mall 's status as a wide , open expanse at the heart of the capital makes it an attractive site for protests and rallies of all types . One notable example is the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom , a political rally during the Civil Rights Movement , at which Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his speech `` I Have a Dream '' . The largest officially recorded rally was the Vietnam War Moratorium Rally on October 15 , 1969 . However , in 1995 , the NPS issued a crowd estimate for the Million Man March with which an organizer of the event , Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan , disagreed . The next year , a committee of the 104th United States Congress provided no funds for NPS crowd - counting activities in Washington , D.C. when it prepared legislation making 1997 appropriations for the U.S. Department of the Interior . As a result , the NPS has not provided any official crowd size estimates for Mall events since 1995 . The absence of such an official estimate fueled a political controversy following the presidential inauguration of Donald Trump in 2017 ( see : Inauguration of Donald Trump crowd size ) . On April 25 , 2004 , the March for Women 's Lives filled the Mall . On January 27 , 2007 , tens of thousands of protesters opposed to the Iraq War converged on the Mall ( see : January 27 , 2007 anti-war protest ) , drawing comparisons by participants to the Vietnam War protest . Presidential inaugurations ( edit ) First inauguration of Barack Obama on January 20 , 2009 facing west from the Capitol Further information : United States presidential inauguration During presidential inaugurations , people without official tickets gather at the National Mall . Normally , the Mall between 7th and 14th Streets NW is used as a staging ground for the parade . On December 4 , 2008 , the Presidential Inaugural Committee ( see : United States presidential inauguration organizers ) announced that `` for the first time , the entire length of the National Mall will be opened to the public so that more people than ever before will be able to witness the swearing - in of the President from a vantage point in sight of the Capitol . '' The Committee made this arrangement because of the massive attendance -- projected to be as many as 2 million people -- that it expected for the first inauguration of Barack Obama on January 20 , 2009 . Despite the arrangement , a throng of people seeking access to the event climbed and then removed temporary protective fences around the Smithsonian 's Mary Livingston Ripley Garden , six blocks from the site at which Obama took his inaugural oath . Hordes then trampled the garden 's vegetation and elevated plant beds when entering and leaving the event . Others could not find a way to enter the Mall in time to view the ceremony . More than a thousand people with tickets missed the event while being stranded in the I - 395 Third Street Tunnel beneath the Mall after police directed them there ( see Purple Tunnel of Doom ) . The Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies subsequently announced that ticket holders that were not admitted would receive copies of the swearing - in invitation and program , photos of Obama and Vice President Joe Biden , and a color print of the ceremony . Other events and recreational activities ( edit ) The National Mall has long served as a spot for jogging , picnics , and light recreation for the Washington population . The Smithsonian Carousel , located on the Mall in front of the Arts and Industry Building , is a popular attraction that operates seasonally . The carousel was built by the Allan Herschell Company and arrived at Gwynn Oak Park near Baltimore , Maryland , in 1947 . It was moved to the Mall in 1981 . Independence Day fireworks display between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial , July 4 , 1986 Annual events ( edit ) A number of large free events recur annually on the Mall . A kite festival , formerly named the `` Smithsonian Kite Festival '' and now named the `` Blossom Kite Festival '' , usually takes place each year on the Washington Monument grounds during the last weekend of March as part of the National Cherry Blossom Festival . The 2018 kite festival took place on the Washington Monument grounds on Saturday , March 31 . An Earth Day celebration often takes place on the Mall around April 22 . A week - long series of rallies , exhibits , observances and performances occurred on the Mall from April 17 to April 25 , 2010 to commemorate Earth Day 's 40th anniversary . The final day 's events featured performances by Sting , Mavis Staples , The Roots , John Legend , Jimmy Cliff and others . The 2012 Earth Day rally , which featured music , entertainment , celebrity speakers and environmental activities , took place on the Mall during a rainy day on Sunday , April 22 . Cheap Trick , Dave Mason , Nigel Pilkington , Dan Russell and Emma Tate and The Explorers Club performed and Congressmen John Dingell and Edward Markey spoke . In 2013 , an `` Earth Month '' at Washington 's Union Station replaced the Mall 's Earth Day event . On April 19 , 2015 , a `` Global Citizen '' Earth Day concert featured performances on the Washington Monument grounds by Usher , My Morning Jacket , Mary J. Blige , Train and No Doubt . The National Symphony Orchestra presents each year its National Memorial Day Concert on the west lawn of the United States Capitol during the evening of the Sunday before Memorial Day ( the last Monday of May ) . The National Gallery of Art hosts a Jazz in the Garden series each year in the museum 's Sculpture Garden on Friday evenings from late May through August . Components of the United States Navy Band , the United States Air Force Band , the United States Marine Band and the United States Army Band perform on the west steps of the United States Capitol on Monday , Tuesday , Wednesday and Friday evenings , respectively , during June , July and August . The Marine Band repeats each Wednesday Capitol performance on the following evening ( Thursday ) at the Sylvan Theater on the grounds of the Washington Monument . Components of U.S. military bands also provide evening concerts at the World War II Memorial from May through August . The Smithsonian Folklife Festival takes place on the Mall each year for two weeks around Independence Day ( July 4 ) . On that holiday , the A Capitol Fourth concert takes place in the late afternoon and early evening on the west lawn of the Capitol . This and other Independence Day celebrations on and near the Mall end after sunset with a fireworks display between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial . The National Symphony Orchestra presents each year its Labor Day Capitol Concert on the west lawn of the United States Capitol during the evening of the Sunday before Labor Day ( the first Monday of September ) . The 1939 concert by Marian Anderson , facing east from the Lincoln Memorial Other events ( edit ) On April 9 , 1939 , singer Marian Anderson gave an Easter Sunday concert at the Lincoln Memorial after the Daughters of the American Revolution ( DAR ) denied a request by Howard University for her to give an Easter performance at the DAR 's nearby racially segregated Constitution Hall ( see : Marian Anderson 's 1939 Lincoln Memorial concert ) . The event , which 75,000 people attended , occurred after President Franklin D. Roosevelt gave his assent for the performance . The 1976 United States Bicentennial celebration provided the motivation for planning to accommodate large numbers of expected visitors to the National Mall . A number of major memorials were added to the Mall throughout that period . On May 21 , 1976 , Constitution Gardens was dedicated . On July 1 , the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum opened . On July 4 , the Bicentennial fireworks display on the Mall attracted one million viewers , making it second only to the 1965 presidential inauguration of Lyndon B. Johnson as the largest event in the Mall 's history up to that time . On Sunday , October 9 , 1979 , Pope John Paul II celebrated Mass on the National Mall during a visit to Washington . The celebration took place after an appellate court denied a motion for an injunction that atheists Madalyn Murray O'Hair and Jon Garth Murray had filed to prevent the event from occurring . From 1980 through 1982 , The Beach Boys and The Grass Roots performed Independence Day concerts on the Mall , attracting large crowds . However , in April 1983 , James G. Watt , President Ronald Reagan 's Secretary of the Interior , banned Independence Day concerts on the Mall by such groups . Watt said that `` rock bands '' that had performed on the Mall on Independence Day in 1981 and 1982 had encouraged drug use and alcoholism and had attracted `` the wrong element '' , who would mug individuals and families attending any similar events in the future . Watt then announced that Las Vegas crooner Wayne Newton , a friend and supporter of President Reagan and a contributor to Republican Party political campaigns , would perform at the Mall 's 1983 Independence Day celebration . During the ensuing uproar , Rob Grill , lead singer of The Grass Roots , stated that he felt `` highly insulted '' by Watt 's remarks , which he called `` nothing but un-American '' . The Beach Boys stated that the Soviet Union , which had invited them to perform in Leningrad in 1978 , `` obviously ... did not feel that the group attracted the wrong element '' . Vice President George H.W. Bush said of The Beach Boys , `` They 're my friends and I like their music '' . On July 3 , 1983 , thousands attended a heavily policed `` Rock Against Reagan '' concert that the hardcore punk rock band , Dead Kennedys , performed on the Mall in response to Watt 's action . When Newton entered an Independence Day stage on the Mall on July 4 , members of his audience booed . Watt apologized to The Beach Boys , First Lady Nancy Reagan apologized for Watt , and in 1984 The Beach Boys gave an Independence Day concert on the Mall to an audience of 750,000 people . Britney Spears performs during the `` NFL Kickoff Live from the National Mall Presented by Pepsi Vanilla '' concert , September 4 , 2003 . On September 4 , 2003 , Britney Spears , Mary J. Blige , Aretha Franklin , Aerosmith and others performed in a nationally televised `` NFL Kickoff Live from the National Mall Presented by Pepsi Vanilla '' ( see : Pre-game concerts for National Football League kickoff game ) . Preceded by a three - day National Football League `` interactive Super Bowl theme park '' , the event had primarily commercial purposes , unlike earlier major activities on the Mall . Three weeks later , the United States Senate overwhelmingly passed legislation that , when enacted into law , limited displays of commercial sponsorship on the Mall . On July 7 , 2007 , one leg of Live Earth was held outdoors at the National Museum of the American Indian on the Mall . Former Vice President Al Gore presented , and artists such as Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood performed . Occurring once every two to three years on the Mall in the early fall from 2002 to 2009 , the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon displayed solar - powered houses that competitive collegiate teams designed , constructed and operated . Igniting a controversy , the Department of Energy ( DOE ) decided to move the 2011 Decathlon off the Mall , claiming that this would support an effort to protect , improve and restore the park . Federal officials stated that heavy equipment that had placed two - story houses on the Mall during earlier Decathlons had cracked walkways and killed grass to a greater extent than had most other Mall events . On February 4 , 2011 , a Washington Post editorial criticized attempts to have President Obama restore the event to the Mall . Nevertheless , by February 12 , 2011 , at least thirteen U.S. Senators had signed a letter asking the DOE to reconsider its decision . On February 23 , 2011 , the DOE and the Department of the Interior announced that the 2011 Solar Decathlon would take place along Ohio Drive southeast of the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial in West Potomac Park . The event took place in the Park from September 23 through October 2 , 2011 . The 2013 Solar Decathlon took place in California instead of Washington . From 2003 to 2013 , the National Book Festival took place on the Mall each year in late September or early October . However , the event moved to the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in 2014 because the NPS became concerned about the damage that pedestrians had inflicted on the Mall 's lawn during previous Festivals . A four - day exhibition took place each year on the Mall during Public Service Recognition Week ( the first full week of May ) until 2010 . Government agencies participating in the event sponsored exhibits that displayed the works of public employees and that enabled visitors to learn about government programs and initiatives , discuss employee benefits , and interact with agency representatives . However , the 2011 United States federal budget ( Public Law 112 - 10 ) , which was belatedly enacted on April 15 , 2011 , contained no funding for that year 's event , forcing the event 's cancellation . The event did not take place in 2012 . On June 12 , 2010 , Tareq and Michaele Salahi , a couple under investigation for allegedly crashing a White House state dinner for the Prime Minister of India in November 2009 ( see : 2009 U.S. state dinner security breaches ) , hosted an America 's Polo Cup match between the United States and India on the Mall . The advertised ticket price for this event was $95 per person . Reports of the event stated that the players who represented India were actually of Pakistani origin and were from Florida . A spokesman for the Embassy of India stated that neither the Embassy nor the government of India had any association with the event . The event 's website reportedly identified an Indian company , Kingfisher Beer , as a sponsor . However , Kingfishers ' chief executive denied that the company had sponsored the event . Yashpal Singh , the president and chief executive of Mendocino Brewing Company , Kingfisher 's parent company , stated , `` We are not sponsoring this event and have informed the people managing this event of that , ... We have sent legal notices to this effect , and he keeps on advertising us as a sponsor . I do n't know what world he 's living in . '' The inaugural USA Science and Engineering Festival Expo took place on the National Mall and surrounding areas on October 23 and 24 , 2010 . More than 1,500 free interactive exhibits reportedly drew about 500,000 people to the event , which had over 75 performances . The second Expo took place on April 28 -- 29 , 2012 , in the Walter E. Washington Convention Center . Concert for Valor on the National Mall , November 11 , 2014 , looking west from the United States Capitol grounds . On Veterans Day , November 11 , 2014 , Bruce Springsteen , Eminem , Rihanna , Metallica , Carrie Underwood , Dave Grohl , the Zac Brown Band and other pop entertainers performed on the Mall during a free evening Concert for Valor honoring veterans and their families . Attendance was in the hundreds of thousands , making it one of the biggest events on the Mall for the year . The annual Screen on the Green movie festival took place on the Mall on Monday nights during July and August for 17 years until 2015 . Free classic movies were projected on large portable screens and typically drew crowds of thousands of people . Organizers cancelled the event in 2016 when the event 's sponsors ( HBO and Comcast ) terminated their support , stating that they needed their resources for other projects . On June 12 , 2018 , the NHL 's Washington Capitals staged a rally on the Mall after parading through the city to celebrate the franchise 's first - ever Stanley Cup championship victory , along with more than 100,000 other local fans . National Mall Plan ( edit ) From 2006 through 2010 , the NPS conducted a public process that created a plan for the future of the National Mall . On July 13 , 2010 , the NPS issued in the Federal Register a notice of availability of a final environmental impact statement ( EIS ) for the National Mall Plan . The two - volume final EIS responded to comments and incorporated changes to a draft EIS for the Plan . On November 9 , 2010 , the NPS and the Department of the Interior issued a Record of Decision ( ROD ) that completed the planning process . The ROD contains a summary of the selected alternative , which is the basis for the Plan , together with mitigation measures developed to minimize environmental harm ; other alternatives considered ; the basis for the decision in terms of planning objectives and the criteria used to develop the preferred alternative ; a finding of no impairment of park resources and values ; the environmentally preferable alternative ; and the public and agency involvement . The Plan proposed a number of changes to the Mall . The NPS would construct at the east end of the Mall a wide expanse of paved surface in Union Square to accommodate demonstrations and other events by reducing the size of the Capitol Reflecting Pool or by replacing the pool with a fountain or other small water feature . Additional proposed changes included the replacement of the Sylvan Theater on the Washington Monument grounds with a facility containing offices , restaurants and restrooms . On December 2 , 2010 , the National Capital Planning Commission ( NCPC ) unanimously approved the final National Mall Plan at a public hearing . The NCPC 's approval allowed the NPS to move forward with implementation of the Plan 's recommendations . On March 1 , 2012 , the NCPC discussed a proposal that would decrease the Mall 's existing green space by widening and paving most of the north - south walkways that cross the Mall between Seventh and Fourteenth Streets and by replacing with gravel large areas of grass that are located near the Smithsonian Metro Station and the National Gallery of Art 's Sculpture Garden . On September 8 , 2011 , the Trust for the National Mall and the NPS announced an open competition for a redesign of the spaces on the National Mall that Union Square , the Sylvan Theater grounds and the Constitution Gardens lake now occupy . Former First Lady of the United States Laura Bush agreed to be the honorary co-chair of a drive to raise funds for the three projects . On April 9 , 2012 , the Trust for the National Mall announced the ideas for the redesign of Union Square , the Sylvan Theater grounds and Constitution Gardens lake area that finalists in the competition had submitted . The Trust asked the public to submit online comments that the competition jury would consider when evaluating each design . The Trust announced the winners of the competition on May 2 , 2012 . Groundbreaking for the first project was expected to take place by 2014 , with the first ribbon - cutting ceremony by 2016 . On October 1 , 2015 , the NCPC approved preliminary and final site and building plans that the NPS had submitted for the first phase rehabilitation of Constitution Gardens . Plans include the relocation and rehabilitation of the Lockkeeper 's House , C & O Canal Extension , a new entry plaza at the corner of Constitution Avenue and 17th Street , NW , landscaping , a meadow and pollinator habitat and a new perimeter garden wall . A temporary path will connect to an existing plaza located at the eastern end of Constitution Garden 's lake . Reconstruction and Restoration ( edit ) From 2010 to 2012 , NPS contractors rebuilt the aging Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool , which had first been constructed in the early 1920s and whose water had come from the pipes that supply Washington , D.C. , with its drinking water . As a result of the project , the pool now receives filtered water from the Tidal Basin through a high - density polyethylene ( HDPE ) pipeline . The NPS then began a four - year restoration of the portion of the central axis of the Mall that lies between 3rd Street and 14th Street . By 2016 , the restoration project had completely replaced the deteriorated and weedy turf that had previously covered much of that part of the Mall with a new cover containing soil , fescue ( Festuca ) and Kentucky bluegrass ( Poa pratensis ) .

Public transportation ( edit ) The National Mall is accessible via the Washington Metro , with the Smithsonian station located on the south side of the Mall , near the Smithsonian Institution Building between the Washington Monument and the United States Capitol . The Federal Triangle , Archives , and Union Station Metro stations are also located near the Mall , to the north . The L'Enfant Plaza , Federal Center Southwest and Capitol South Metro stations are located several blocks south of the Mall . Metrobus and the DC Circulator make scheduled stops near the Mall . Bicycles ( edit ) The NPS provides parking facilities for bicycles near each of the major memorials as well as along the National Mall . From March to October , an NPS concessionaire rents out bicycles at the Thompson Boat Center , located near the intersection of Virginia Avenue NW and Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway , 1 mile ( 1.6 km ) north of the Lincoln Memorial along the Potomac River - Rock Creek Trail . The first two of five approved Capital Bikeshare stations opened on the National Mall on March 16 , 2012 , shortly before the start of the 2012 National Cherry Blossom Festival . The National Mall is the official midpoint of the East Coast Greenway , a 2,900 mile -- long system of shared - use bicycle trails linking Calais , Maine , with Key West , Florida . Pedicabs ( edit ) The NPS licenses pedicab drivers to provide transportation and tours of the National Mall through its Commercial Use Authorization program . Motor vehicle parking ( edit ) General visitor parking is available along Ohio Drive SW , between the Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson Memorials . Bus parking is available primarily along Ohio Drive , SW , near the Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson Memorials and along Ohio Drive SW , in East Potomac Park . There is limited handicapped parking at the Franklin Delano Roosevelt and World War II Memorials and near the Washington Monument and the Thomas Jefferson , Lincoln , Korean War Veterans , and Vietnam Veterans Memorials ; otherwise , parking is extremely scarce in and near the Mall . In April 2017 , the NPS awarded a contract for the installation of parking meters on streets and in parking areas on the Mall . On June 12 , 2017 , the NPS and the District of Columbia Department of Public Works began to enforce metered parking on approximately 1,100 parking spaces in which motorists could previously park without charge .

This 150 - acre tract extended west from the foot of Capitol Hill to the site of the Washington Monument and then north to the president 's house . Downing saw this as an opportunity not simply to ornament the capital but also to create the first large public park in the United States . He believed that the Washington park would encourage cities across the nation to provide healthful recreational grounds for their citizens . Although only the initial stages of construction had been completed at the time of his death , Downing 's commission , as well as the influence of his writings , merited the epithet `` Father of American Parks .

The full - size Triceratops replica and eight other types of dinosaurs were designed by two prominent paleontologists , Dr. Barnum Brown of the American Museum of Natural History , in New York City , and Dr. John Ostrom of the Peabody Museum , in Peabody , Massachusetts . The sculptor , Louis Paul Jonas , executed these prehistoric animals in fiberglass , after the designs of Barnum and Ostrom , for the Sinclair Refining Company 's Pavilion at the New York World 's Fair of 1964 . After the Fair closed , the nine dinosaurs , which weighed between 2 and 4 tons each , were placed on trucks and taken on a tour of the eastern United States . The Sinclair Refining Company promoted the tour for public relations and advertising purposes , since their trademark was the dinosaur . In 1967 , the nine dinosaurs were given to various American museums . This particular replica was used for the filming of The Enormous Egg , a movie made by the National Broadcasting Company for television , based on a children 's book of the same name by Oliver Buttersworth . The movie features an enormous egg , out of which hatches a baby Tricerotops ; the boy consults with the Smithsonian Institution which accepts Uncle Beasley for the National Zoo .

It was surely the biggest show of Dead Kennedys ' career , and Ronald Reagan made it all possible . In 1983 , one of his cabinet members canceled a fourth of July Beach Boys concert on federal grounds in Washington , D.C. , fearing the band would bring the wrong element to the capital . The move looked like crackbrained politics on every level -- the administration appeared painfully out of touch ( banning the Beach Boys ? ) , and the official who canned the show did n't even realize that the band was publicly down with the Reagans . This was political theater of the absurd , and it was therefore a place where Dead Kennedys felt exceedingly at home . The San Francisco foursome took action , putting together a punk - rock festival on the Mall , the expanse of lawn stretching between the Washington Monument and the Capitol building . They were goading the government to try to stop them . Instead , thousands of punks filled the grounds that day , and skinny DK 's frontman Jello Biafra greeted them by comparing the Monument to a giant hooded Klansman . As he jumped around like an insane marionette to their ornery punkability , government helicopters hovered over the stage and D.C. cops nervously patrolled the edge of the throng .

List of WWE Champions
List of WWE champions - wikipedia List of WWE champions Jump to : navigation , search This article is about a list of wrestlers who have held the current WWE Championship . For a list of wrestlers who have held the now - retired `` World Heavyweight Championship '' , see List of World Heavyweight Champions ( WWE ) . Current champion Jinder Mahal The WWE Championship is a professional wrestling championship in WWE , currently on the SmackDown brand . It is the first world title established in WWE , having been introduced in 1963 as the World Wide Wrestling Federation ( WWWF ) World Heavyweight Championship . The promotion was renamed World Wrestling Federation ( WWF ) in 1979 and ended its affiliation with the National Wrestling Alliance ( NWA ) in 1983 , with the title also renamed to reflect the changes . In 2001 , it was unified with the World Championship ( formerly the WCW World Heavyweight Championship ) following the WWF 's buyout of World Championship Wrestling ( WCW ) and became the Undisputed WWF Championship . In 2002 , the WWF was renamed World Wrestling Entertainment ( WWE ) and split its roster into two brands , Raw and SmackDown . The title , now renamed WWE Championship , was then designated to the SmackDown brand , while WWE established an alternate world title known as the World Heavyweight Championship for the Raw brand . A third alternate world title , the ECW World Heavyweight Championship , was reactivated for the ECW brand in 2006 . It was vacated and decommissioned when the ECW brand disbanded in 2010 . When WWE Champion Randy Orton defeated World Heavyweight Champion John Cena at the TLC pay - per - view on December 15 , 2013 , the World Heavyweight Championship was unified with the WWE Championship , resulting in the retiring of the former , and the renaming of the latter to the WWE World Heavyweight Championship . On June 27 , 2016 , the name was shortened back to the WWE Championship , before assuming the WWE World Championship name on July 26 , 2016 , when the brand extension returned . It became designated to the SmackDown brand , and WWE again established an alternate world title known as the WWE Universal Championship for the Raw brand . In December 2016 , WWE again shortened the title 's name back to WWE Championship . The championship is generally contested in professional wrestling matches , in which participants execute scripted finishes rather than contend in direct competition . Some reigns were held by champions using a ring name , while others use their real name . The first champion was Buddy Rogers , who won the championship in 1963 . The champion with the single longest reign is Bruno Sammartino with a reign of 2,803 days , while the record for longest combined reign is also held by Sammartino at 4,040 . The current champion is Jinder Mahal , who is in his first reign . He won the championship by defeating Randy Orton at Backlash in Rosemont , Illinois on May 21 , 2017 . Overall , there have been 50 different official champions , with John Cena having the most reigns at thirteen . Seven men in history have held the championship for a continuous reign of one year ( 365 days ) or more : Bruno Sammartino , Pedro Morales , Bob Backlund , Hulk Hogan , Randy Savage , John Cena , and CM Punk .

Right bundle branch block
Right bundle branch block - wikipedia Right bundle branch block Right bundle branch block ECG characteristics of a typical RBBB showing wide QRS complexes with a terminal R wave in lead V1 and slurred S wave in lead V6 . Classification and external resources Specialty Cardiology ICD - 10 I45. 1 ICD - 9 - CM 426.4 DiseasesDB 11620 eMedicine ped / 2500 ( edit on Wikidata ) A right bundle branch block ( RBBB ) is a heart block in the electrical conduction system . During a right bundle branch block , the right ventricle is not directly activated by impulses travelling through the right bundle branch . The left ventricle however , is still normally activated by the left bundle branch . These impulses are then able to travel through the myocardium of the left ventricle to the right ventricle and depolarize the right ventricle this way . As conduction through the myocardium is slower than conduction through the Bundle of His - Purkinje fibres , the QRS complex is seen to be widened . The QRS complex often shows an extra deflection that reflects the rapid depolarisation of the left ventricle followed by the slower depolarisation of the right ventricle . In most cases , right bundle branch block has a pathological cause , though it is also seen in healthy individuals in about 1.5 - 3 % . Contents ( hide ) 1 Diagnosis 2 Causes 3 Epidemiology 4 Treatment 5 See also 6 References Diagnosis ( edit ) Normal electrical conduction system of the heart ( Schematic ) . All myocardial segments are excited almost simultaneously ( purple staining ) . Sinoatrial node Atrioventricular node Conduction in RBBB ( Schematic ) : With a blockage in the right bundle branch ( red ) , the left ventricle is excited in time ( purple ) , while the excitation of the right ventricle takes a detour via the left bundle branch ( blue arrows ) . The criteria to diagnose a right bundle branch block on the electrocardiogram : The heart rhythm must originate above the ventricles ( i.e. , sinoatrial node , atria or atrioventricular node ) to activate the conduction system at the correct point . The QRS duration must be more than 100 ms ( incomplete block ) or more than 120 ms ( complete block ) . There should be a terminal R wave in lead V ( e.g. , R , rR ' , rsR ' , rSR ' , or qR ) . There should be a slurred S wave in leads I and V . The T wave should be deflected opposite the terminal deflection of the QRS complex . This is known as appropriate T wave discordance with bundle branch block . A concordant T wave may suggest ischemia or myocardial infarction . A mnemonic to distinguish between ECG signatures of left bundle branch block ( LBBB ) and right is WiLLiaM MaRRoW ( i.e. , with LBBB , there is a W in lead V and an M in lead V , whereas , with RBBB , there is an M in V and a W in V ) . RBBB with associated first degree AV block RBBB with associated tachycardia RBBB Causes ( edit ) An atrial septal defect is one possible cause of a right bundle branch block . In addition , a right bundle branch block may also result from Brugada syndrome , right ventricular hypertrophy , pulmonary embolism , ischaemic heart disease , rheumatic heart disease , myocarditis , cardiomyopathy , or hypertension . Epidemiology ( edit ) Prevalence of RBBB increases with age . Treatment ( edit ) The underlying condition may be treated by medications to control hypertension or diabetes , if they are the primary underlying cause . If coronary arteries are blocked , an invasive coronary angioplasty may relieve the impending RBBB .

Toyota Land Cruiser
Toyota Land Cruiser - wikipedia Toyota Land Cruiser Jump to : navigation , search Not to be confused with Toyota Land Cruiser Prado or Studebaker Land Cruiser . Toyota Land Cruiser Toyota Land Cruiser ( J200 ) Overview Manufacturer Toyota Production 1951 -- present Body and chassis Class Off - road vehicle / Full - size SUV The Toyota Land Cruiser ( Japanese : トヨタ ランドクルーザー , Toyota Rando - kurūzā ) is a series of four - wheel drive vehicles produced by the Japanese car maker Toyota . It is Toyota 's longest running series . Production of the first generation Land Cruiser began in 1951 ( 90 units ) as Toyota 's version of a Jeep - like vehicle . The Land Cruiser has been produced in convertible , hardtop , station wagon and cab chassis versions . The Land Cruiser 's reliability and longevity has led to huge popularity , especially in Australia where it is the best - selling body - on - frame , four - wheel drive vehicle . Toyota also extensively tests the Land Cruiser in the Australian outback -- considered to be one of the toughest operating environments in both temperature and terrain . In Japan , the Land Cruiser is exclusive to Toyota Japanese dealerships called Toyota Store . As of 2016 , the Land Cruiser J200 is available in most markets . Exceptions include Canada , Hong Kong , Malaysia ( of whose markets have the Lexus LX available ) , North Korea , Singapore , South Korea , Thailand and large parts of Europe . In Europe , the only countries that officially sell the Land Cruiser 200 are : Andorra , Gibraltar , Iceland , Moldova , Russia and Ukraine .

The Japanese military authorities ordered Toyota to produce a similar vehicle but to alter the appearance . The resulting Model AK prototype led to the Yon - Shiki Kogata Kamotsu - Sha ( 四 式 小型 貨物 車 type 4 compact cargo - truck ) . Later in 1941 the Japanese government instructed Toyota to produce a light truck for Japan 's military . In 1942 , Toyota developed the AK10 prototype by reverse - engineering a Bantam GP . The half - ton truck features an upright front grille , flat front wheel arches that angled down and back like the FJ40 , headlights mounted above the wheel arches on either side of the radiator , and a folding windshield . The AK10 is powered by the 2259 cc , 4 - cylinder Type C engine from the Toyota Model AE sedan coupled to a three - speed manual transmission and two - speed transfer gearbox . Unlike the U.S. Jeep , few AK10 's were ever used and photographs of them in the battlefield are rare . The postwar Toyota `` Jeep '' BJ is completely different from the AK10 and inherits no mechanical parts from it . Off - road oriented models ( edit ) BJ and fj ( 1951 -- 1955 ) ( edit ) BJ and FJ Overview Production 1951 -- 1955 Assembly Toyota City , Japan ( ARACO ) Body and chassis Body style 2 - door softtop Layout FR layout Powertrain Engine 3.4 L B I6 3.9 L F I6 Dimensions Wheelbase 2,650 mm ( 104.3 in ) 1950 -- The Korean War created demand for a military light utility vehicle . The war put a Jeep on Japan 's doorstep . The United States government ordered 100 vehicles with the new Willys specs and Toyota was asked to build them . 1951 -- The Toyota `` Jeep '' BJ prototype was developed in January 1951 . This came from the demand for military - type utility vehicles , much like the British Land Rover Series 1 that appeared in 1948 . The Jeep BJ was larger than the original U.S. Jeep and more powerful thanks to its Type B 3.4 L six - cylinder OHV Gasoline engine which generated 63 kW ( 86 PS ; 84 hp ) at 3600 rpm and 215 N ⋅ m ( 159 lb ⋅ ft ) torque at 1600 rpm . It had a part - time four - wheel drive system like the Jeep . Unlike the Jeep , however , the Jeep BJ had no low - range transfer case . 1951 -- In July 1951 , Toyota 's test driver Ichiro Taira drove the next generation of the Jeep BJ prototype up to the sixth stage of Mount Fuji , the first vehicle to climb that high . The test was overseen by the National Police Agency ( NPA ) . Impressed by this feat , the NPA quickly placed an order for 289 of these offroad vehicles , making the Jeep BJ their official patrol car . 1953 -- Regular production of the `` Toyota Jeep BJ '' began at Toyota Honsya Plant ( Rolling chassis assembly ) , and body assembly and painting was done at Arakawa Bankin Kogyo KK , later known as ARACO ( now an affiliate of Toyota Auto Body Co . ) . The `` Toyota Jeep BJ '' Series was introduced alongside the following : BJ - T ( Touring ) , BJ - R ( Radio ) , BJ - J ( Cowl - chassis for a fire - engine ) . 1954 -- The name `` Land Cruiser '' was created by the technical director Hanji Umehara . `` In England we had another competitor -- Land Rover . I had to come up with a name for our car that would not sound less dignified than those of our competitors . That is why I decided to call it ' Land Cruiser ' , '' he recalls . The name had already been used on the US Studebaker Land Cruiser car from 1934 to 1954 . 1954 -- The 93 kW ( 126 PS ; 125 hp ) , 3.9 L Type F gasoline engine added for the fire - engine chassis . Models are renamed as : BJ - T ( Touring ) , BJ - R ( Radio ) , BJ - J ( Cowl - chassis for a fire - engine ) , FJ - J ( Cowl - chassis for a fire - engine ) . J20 , j30 ( 1955 -- 1960 ) ( edit ) J20 / J30 Overview Also called Toyota Bandeirante ( Brazil ) Production 1955 -- 1960 Assembly Toyota City , Japan ( ARACO ) São Bernardo , Brazil ( Toyota do Brasil ) Body and chassis Body style 2 - door softtop 2 - door hardtop 2 - door pickup truck 5 - door station wagon Layout FR layout Powertrain Engine 3.4 L B I6 3.9 L F I6 Dimensions Wheelbase 2,285 mm ( 90.0 in ) 2,430 mm ( 95.7 in ) 2,650 mm ( 104.3 in ) 1955 -- The Second generation , 20 Series was introduced . It was designed to have more civilian appeal than the BJ for export reasons . It also had more stylish bodywork and a better ride thanks to longer four - plate leaf springs which had been adapted from the Toyota Light Truck . It had a more powerful 135 PS ( 99 kW ) 3.9 L six - cylinder Type F gasoline engine , but still only had a three speed gearbox . The interior of the vehicles were made more comfortable by moving the engine 120 mm ( 4.7 in ) forward . The 20 Series still had no low range , but it had synchronism on the third and fourth gears . 1957 -- A 4 - door Station Wagon was added as the FJ35V on a 2,650 mm ( 104.3 in ) wheelbase . Land Cruisers were first imported into Australia by B&D Motors as FJ25 / 28 cab chassis with Australian made bodies . They were the first Japanese cars to be regularly exported to the country and a few were initially used in the Snowy Mountains Hydroelectric Scheme , by sub contractor Theiss Constructions . 1958 -- FJ25 production commenced in Brazil ; this being the first Toyota vehicle built outside Japan . These were sold as the `` Toyota Bandeirante '' from January 1962 when the Toyota petrol engine was replaced with a Mercedes - Benz diesel engine . The FJ25 models were buiilt until August 1968 in Brazil . Production numbers were fairly low ; in 1965 the total came to 961 vehicles . Bandeirante timeline 1959 : FJ25 - Short open ( topless ) bushdrive car - motor Toyota F ( May 1959 to 1960 / 61 ) - new in 1959 ( also referred to as FJ251 ) 1960 / 1961 : FJ25L - Short soft top bushdrive car - motor Toyota F ( 1960 / 1961 to 1960 / 1961 ) - new in 1960 / 1961 ( also referred to as FJ251L ) FJ151L - Short soft top bushdrive car - motor Toyota 2F ( 1960 / 1961 to December 1961 ) - replaces the FJ25 / FJ251 and the FJ25L / FJ251L ( there are few mentions in literature and no preserved ones known ; it could be even doubted if it 's ever been actually built ) 1962 : TB25L - Short soft top bushdrive car - motor Mercedes - Benz OM - 324 ( January 1962 to - 1966 ? ) - replaces the FJ151L ( or FJ25L / FJ251L ? ) TB25L - Short hard top bushdrive car - motor Mercedes - Benz OM - 324 ( January 1962 to - 1966 ? ) - new in 1962 TB41L - Long hard top bushdrive car - motor Mercedes - Benz OM - 324 ( September 1962 to July 1968 ) - new in 1962 TB51L - Short pickup with native bed - motor Mercedes - Benz OM - 324 ( September 1962 to January 1966 ) 1965 : TB51L3 - Short 3 - door double cabin pickup with native bed and steel bed cover - motor Mercedes - Benz OM - 324 ( 1965 to ? ) - new in 1965 ; possibly only one unit was built 1966 ?

Toyota made many production changes by buying new steel presses . Mechanically , the FJ40 was given a new 93 kW ( 126 PS ; 125 hp ) , 3.9 L F engine and the Land Cruiser finally received low - range gearing , but continued the three speed main gearbox . 1965 -- Global production surpassed 50,000 vehicles . The Land Cruiser was the best selling Toyota in the United States . 1968 -- The 100,000 th Land Cruiser was sold worldwide . Brazilian J40 production , as the Bandeirante , commenced in September . This received a Mercedes - Benz - built diesel engine generating 58 kW ( 79 PS ; 78 hp ) . 1972 -- The 200,000 th Land Cruiser was sold worldwide . 1973 -- The 300,000 th Land Cruiser was sold worldwide . The first diesel Land Cruiser was introduced for export on long wheelbase models with a six - cylinder H engine . 1974 -- A four - cylinder 3.0 L B diesel was offered . The introduction of this engine boosted sales in Japan by putting the Land Cruiser in a lower tax compact freight - car category than its 3.9 L gasoline version . Note : the new B diesel engine was different from the B gasoline engine used in the original BJ . 1975 -- The 3.9 L gasoline engine was replaced by a larger , more powerful 4.2 L 2F unit . The FJ55 received front disc brakes . The 3.6 L H diesel engine was optional in some markets in the HJ45 . 1976 -- United States - version FJ40 Land Cruisers received front disc brakes like the FJ55 . The Toyota Land Cruiser Association was founded in California . 1977 -- The Irish Army took delivery of the first of 77 FJ45 Land Cruisers . Although fast , reliable and with good off - road performance the type tended to rust excessively in the wet Irish climate . A few which did not succumb to the effects of weather were repainted in gloss olive green and survive as ceremonial gun tractors at military funerals . 1978 -- The first BJ / FJ40 and FJ55 models were officially sold in West Germany with both diesel ( BJ40 ) and petrol engines ( FJ40 / 55 ) . 1979 -- United States - version FJ40s were updated this year with a new wider , square bezel surrounding the headlights . Power steering and cooler were offered in FJ40s for the first time The diesel engine was improved , evolving into the 3.2 L 2B only in Japan . 1980 -- The H diesel engine ( HJ45 ) was replaced by the 4.0 L 2H engine ( now with chassis code HJ47 ) . 1981 -- the Diesel version received front disc brakes and the more powerful 3.4 L 3B engine , and added LWB BJ45 with 3B . 1983 -- the last FJ40s imported to the U.S. were 1983 models ( mid-1982 to mid-1983 ) . It is unknown how many were imported by Toyota , but many guess the number to be around 300 . 1983 FJ40s typically bring a premium for their rarity , though they are not much different from 1982 models ( mid-1981 to mid-1982 ) . 1984 -- the North American market was limited to Canada with the BJ42 , which had a 5 - speed ( overdrive ) transmission that was widely sought . Originally around CA $ 14,000 . 1963 Toyota Land Cruiser Station Wagon ( FJ45 ) J70 ( 1984 -- present ) ( edit ) Main article : Toyota Land Cruiser ( J70 ) J70 Overview Also called Toyota Machito ( Venezuela ) Zo Reken ( Haiti ) Production 1984 -- present Assembly Japan : Toyota , Aichi ( Yoshiwara plant ) Venezuela : Cumana Body and chassis Body style 2 - door pickup truck 2 - door hardtop 2 - door softtop 4 - door wagon 4 - door van Layout Front engine , rear - wheel drive / four - wheel drive Powertrain Engine 2.4 L 22R I4 ( gasoline ) 2.4 L 2L I4 ( diesel ) 2.4 L 2L - T I4 - T ( diesel ) 2.5 L VM HR588 I5 - T ( Italy ) 3.0 L 1KZ - T I4 - T ( diesel ) 3.4 L 13B - T I4 - T ( diesel ) 3.4 L PZ I5 ( diesel ) 4.0 L 1GR - FE V6 ( gasoline ) 4.0 L 2H I6 ( diesel ) 4.0 L 3F I6 ( gasoline ) 4.2 L 1HD - FTE I6 - T ( diesel ) 4.2 L 1HZ I6 ( diesel ) 4.5 L 1FZ - FE I6 ( gasoline ) 4.5 L 1VD - FTV V8 - T ( diesel ) Transmission 5 - speed manual 4 - speed automatic Dimensions Wheelbase 2,310 mm ( 90.9 in ) 2,600 mm ( 102.4 in ) 2,730 mm ( 107.5 in ) 2,980 mm ( 117.3 in ) 3,180 mm ( 125.2 in ) Length 4,995 mm ( 196.7 in ) Width 1,870 mm ( 73.6 in ) Height 2,070 mm ( 81.5 in ) 1984 -- J70 was introduced as a soft - top , hard - top , FRP top , utility , cab - chassis , and Troop Carrier ( inward facing rear seats ). The petrol engine was replaced with a 4.0 L 3F engine . The 70 Light had a four - wheel coil spring solid - axle suspension for better ride quality . This lighter duty version of the Land Cruiser had the 22R 2.4 L gasoline engine , 2L and 2L - T ( turbo ) 2.4 L diesel engines commonly found in the Toyota Hilux . The 70 Light was sold in some markets as the Bundera or the Landcruiser II , later called 70 Prado . The 70 Prado eventually became popular and evolved into the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado ( J90 ) . An automatic transmission ( A440F ) was introduced making it the first four - wheel drive Japanese vehicle with an automatic transmission . 1990 -- New - generation diesel engines were introduced including a 3.4 L five - cylinder SOHC naturally aspirated motor ( 1PZ ) , and a 4.2 L six - cylinder SOHC naturally aspirated motor ( 1 HZ ) . 1993 to 1996 -- the KZ 3.0 L turbocharged diesel engine replaced the LJ in the 70 series in European markets where this model was known as the KZJ70 . 1993 -- An advanced 24 - valve , 4.5 L six - cylinder petrol engine , 1FZ - FE was introduced . 1999 -- Toyota updated the 70 series in several ways . The solid front axle received coil - spring suspension . The rear leaf springs were lengthened for increased ride comfort and wheel travel . The six - bolt wheels were replaced with five - bolt wheels . Several smaller modifications to the drivetrain provided increased durability . The long - wheel - base models received new designations : 78 for the troop carrier , and 79 for the pick - up . 2002 -- HDJ79 is introduced to Australia with the 1HD - FTE 4.2 L six - cylinder 24 - valve turbodiesel EFI engine . 2007 -- Toyota 's first turbodiesel V8 engine , the 1VD - FTV was released in some countries for the 70 Series Land Cruiser . Other modifications include the addition of a 4 - door medium - wheel - base model ( the 76 ) and an altered front look on all models . 2012 -- Addition of the 79 Double Cab pickup , in South Africa ( 4.2 L Diesel or 4.0 L Petrol ) and Australia ( 4.5 L V8 Diesel ) . The Sixth and Seventh generations of the Land Cruiser are still being produced and sold in African and Latin American regions . Production in Venezuela ended in 2008 . The 70 series is also still marketed in Australia as 4 - door wagon , 2 - door ' Troop Carrier ' , 2 door cab - chassis and 4 door cab - chassis . The 2014 - 15 30th Anniversary Series 70 sold in Japan as a 4 - door wagon or 4 - door pickup with the 1GR - FE V6 petrol engine and 5 speed manual transmission .

Toyota refers to the FJ55G and FJ55V as the first `` real '' station wagon in the Land Cruiser series , thus marking the beginning of the station wagon branch . It was the first Land Cruiser to have fully enclosed box frame members . Of all the Land Cruiser wagons sold in the U.S. , including the FJ45 , it is the only one to not have hatch and tailgate in the rear , but rather a tailgate only with an electrically operated window that can be retracted into the tailgate . 1967 -- Production of the FJ55 began . The FJ55 was a 4 - door station wagon version based on the FJ40 's Drive - train , replacing the 4 - Door FJ45V ( I ) . It was colloquially known as the `` Moose '' . It has also been referred to as a `` pig '' or an `` iron pig '' . The FJ55 had a longer wheelbase 2700 mm and was designed to be sold in North America and Australia . Jan 1975 saw the F engine replaced by the 2F engine . Unusual for Toyota , the model ( e.g. FJ55 ) did not change . Model 56 is in Japan only , with 2F engine ( January 1975 -- July 1980 ) .

It had swing - out back doors , which were replaced by a winch door in 1994 . The Land Cruiser was nicknamed the Burbuja ( Bubble ) in Colombia and Venezuela due to its roundness . The J80 was initially offered in two versions in these countries : the fully loaded VX and an entry level model that included a vinyl interior with optional air conditioning . In 1996 , the entry model was upgraded to a medium equipped model named Autana , including cloth upholstery , standard air conditioning and power driver seat . The name is a reference to the Tepui mesa Autana , a spectacular plateau and cave system along the Guiana Shield craton . Land Cruiser sales reached 2 million vehicles . 1990 -- The 80 series station wagon was introduced , replacing the 60 series . All 80s sold in North America and Europe now have a full - time four - wheel drive system . In Japan , Africa , and Australia , a part - time system was still available . 80s produced between 1990 and 1991 had an open centre differential which was lockable in 4HI and automatically locked in 4LO . From 1992 onward , vehicles with anti-lock brakes had a viscous coupling that sent a maximum of 30 % torque to the non-slipping axle . The differential was lockable in 4HI and automatically locked in 4LO . 1990 -- A new generation of diesel engines were introduced , adding to the engines available in the 80 series . The 80 series came with either a ( 3F - E ) six - cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine , a six - cylinder SOHC naturally aspirated diesel engine , ( 1HZ ) , or a 1HD - T direct injection turbo diesel . 1991 -- By mid-1991 the ( 3F - E ) was introduced to the Australian market , a fuel injected version of the 3F . 1993 -- An advanced 24 - valve , 4.5 L six - cylinder petrol engine , 1FZ - FE was introduced . Larger brakes were added from October 1992 and the total wheelbase was made slightly longer . Front and rear axle lockers ( code k294 ) appeared as an option . The High Pinion Electric Locking front differential become available in US models . In May 1993 Toyota began using R134 refrigerant in the air conditioning system . Serial numbers lower than JT3DJ81xxxxx38947 use R12 refrigerant . 1994 -- A limited edition Land Cruiser Blue Marlin ( FZJ80R ) was introduced into the Australian market . They have 4.5 L straight 6 petrol motors with double - overhead cams , automatic or manual transmission and 158 kW ( 215 PS ; 212 hp ) at 4600 rpm . The car is blue from the Blue Marlin fish and they have the Blue Marlin logo throughout the car . Some of the features that the Blue Marlin included were altimeters , power windows , disk brakes , leather gear knob and steering wheel , central locking , leather trim , chrome handles and sidesteps , 16 '' alloy wheels , limited - slip differential , anti-lock brakes ( ABS ) , power steering , CD and cassette players , flares , and a limited edition bull bar .

The `` TOYOT A '' badge was replaced with the modern Toyota logo ( which is sometimes described as a `` bean with a hat '' aka `` the sombrero '' ) . 1996 -- In the Dakar Rally , a pair of Land Cruisers finished first and second in the unmodified production class . All American and British 80s adopted anti-lock brakes and airbags as standard equipment . The Land Cruiser was withdrawn from Canada this year and was replaced by the Lexus LX 450 . 1997 -- A limited run of Land Cruiser 80s was built specifically for collectors and therefore called the Land Cruiser Collector 's Edition . The Collectors Edition sported Collectors Edition badging , `` Collector 's Edition '' embroidered floor mats , automatic climate control , wheels with the `` D '' windows painted dark grey and special grey side moldings , and black pearl badging . The Collectors Edition was only available for the 1997 model year and the package was added to many of the available body colors . 1997 -- 4744 FZJ80 Land Cruisers were sold in the United States as `` 40th Anniversary Limited Edition '' models . They were available in 2 colours ; Antique Sage Pearl ( often referred to as Riverrock , Pewter , or Grey ) and Emerald Green .

J100 ( 1998 -- 2007 ) ( edit ) J100 Pre-facelift Toyota Land Cruiser ( US ) Overview Also called Lexus LX 470 Production January 1998 -- 2007 Assembly Japan : Toyota City ( ARACO ) China : Changchun City ( Sichuan FAW Toyota Motor ) Designer Takeo Kondo ( 1993 ) Body and chassis Body style 4 - door wagon Powertrain Engine 4.5 L 1FZ - FE I6 4.7 L 2UZ - FE V8 4.2 L 1HZ I6 diesel 4.2 L 1HD - T I6 turbo diesel 4.2 L 1HD - FTE I6 turbo diesel Transmission 4 - speed automatic 5 - speed automatic 5 - speed manual Dimensions Wheelbase 2,850 mm ( 112.2 in ) Length 4,890 mm ( 192.5 in ) Width 1,941 mm ( 76.4 in ) Height 1,849 mm ( 72.8 in ) Curb weight 2,320 kg ( 5,115 lb ) In January 1998 , the 100 series Land Cruiser was introduced to replace the 8 - year - old 80 series . The 100 series was previewed in October 1997 as the `` Grand Cruiser '' at the 32nd Tokyo Motor Show . Development began in 1991 under program code 404T , with the final design being frozen in mid-1994 . Pre-facelift Toyota Land Cruiser GXL ( FZJ105 ; Australia ) There are two distinct versions of the 100 - series , the 100 and the 105 . The two versions look very similar , but there are significant differences under the bodywork . Despite these differences and official model names , both the 100 and 105 are collectively known as the 100 series . The 105 carried over the majority of its chassis and powertrain from the 80 - series with coil suspended solid axles front and rear , and straight - 6 petrol and diesel engines . These models were only sold in African , Australian , Russian , and South American markets . In 1998 , it introduced a suspension system combining Active Height Control ( AHC ) and Skyhook TEMS Toyota Electronic Modulated Suspension on the Land Cruiser J100 In 2002 Toyota introduced Night View , the first worldwide series production active automotive night vision system , on the Toyota Landcruiser Cygnus or Lexus LX 470 . This system uses the headlight projectors emitting near infrared light aimed like the car 's highbeam headlights and a CCD camera then captures that reflected radiation , this signal is then processed by computer which produces a black - and - white image which is projected on the lower section of the windshield . It was also the first Toyota with roll - over sensor and control logic The 100 models were fitted with a slightly wider chassis , independent front suspension ( IFS ) and two new engines . The change to IFS was a first for a Land Cruiser , and was made ( in combination with rack - and - pinion steering ) to improve on - road handling . However it also limited the vehicle 's off - road capability and durability , hence the decision to offer the solid axle 105 models alongside the IFS 100 models in some markets . The table below identifies the range of 100 and 105 models and their worldwide availability . Despite the 100 and 105 bodies being very similar , there are some exterior visual indications between both models . The most obvious is the front end of the vehicle often appearing lower than the rear on the 100 models , due to the IFS . The other indicator is the design of the wheels . The 100 models have almost flat wheel designs , while the 105 models have dished wheels . This difference allows both versions to retain similar wheel tracks , despite the 100 having a relatively wider axle track to allow for the IFS system . The introduction of a V8 engine was also a first for a Land Cruiser , and was specifically intended to improve sales in the North - American market , where it was the only engine available . In Australia , the 100 V8 was initially only available in the range - topping GXV model , while entry and mid-range models were the 105 powered by the Toyota FZ engine I6 petrol , or Toyota HZ engine diesel engines . The new Toyota HD engine turbo - diesel 100 was added to the Australian range in October 2000 after being available in Europe and the UK since launch in 1998 . The 4WD media in Australia were critical of Toyota 's decision to offer the acclaimed 1HD - FTE engine only in combination with IFS . Australian 4WD Monthly magazine said `` We will never forgive Toyota for going independent at the front with the mighty 4.2 turbo - diesel '' . The 100 series formed the basis for the Lexus LX 470 , which was also sold in Japan as the Toyota Cygnus . The 100 series was called the Toyota Land Cruiser Amazon in the UK and Ireland from 1998 to 2007 . In 2000 , Toyota celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Land Cruiser with commemorative models offered in several countries . Total global production to date was 3.72 million vehicles . The 100 series remained in production until late 2007 , with several minor facelifts such as headlights , taillights , front grille , rear spoiler and specification changes introduced over the years .

The 100 - series is generally considered a durable and reliable vehicle , however there have been three known issues identified , generally for vehicles operating in harsh conditions : The IFS 100 - series gained a reputation for front suspension failures in operating conditions where the front suspension was prone to hitting the bump stops . Several companies produce strengthened lower wishbones to prevent cracks from developing . Both IFS 100 and Live - axle 105 models have been reported as suffering from broken front differential centres when driven in harsh conditions . The most common front differential failures in IFS models are reported in vehicles produced between mid-1997 and mid-1999 ( i.e. the model years 1998 and 1999 ) , when Toyota fitted the 100 Series IFS with a 2 - pinion front differential ( the pinion gear would flex away from the ring gear under shock loads ) . In 1999 ( model year 2000 ) the IFS Landcruiser received a 4 - pinion front differential that was more robust -- fewer failures were reported .

By 2004 , 10 years after the design selection of its predecessor in 1994 , a final production design was settled on for the 2008 J200 . Prototype related tests were conducted for over 2 years between 2004 and early 2007 . The redesigned Toyota Land Cruiser was introduced in late 2007 . Known as the 200 Series , it shares the Lexus LX 570 's platform and overall design . The frame was new , derived from the second - generation Tundra but shortened and strengthened by 20 percent . Bigger brake rotors and calipers were added and the front suspension was made heavier duty than the Land Cruiser 's first effort at IFS in the 100 - series and this underbelly is also protected by skid plates . Also , the roof pillars were redesigned to better protect occupants in a rollover . Pre-facelift Toyota Land Cruiser ( J200 ) First facelift Toyota Land Cruiser ( J200 ) Second facelift Toyota Land Cruiser ( J200 ) Interior ( second facelift ) The 200 Series encountered some criticism due to its bland body restyling , with some claiming that Toyota has ' overdeveloped ' the classic trademarked Land Cruiser identity in its efforts to fit the Land Cruiser into modern 21st century motoring and vehicle design . Nonetheless , the Land Cruiser remains the NATO vehicle of choice and remains a competent off - road vehicle . The vehicle entered production in September 2007 and was available for sale from September or November , depending on country . It became available in Venezuela for sale early in November under the local nickname of `` Roraima '' ( taken from Mount Roraima ) . Early reliability has proven to be excellent . The 200 Series , offered numerous features and upgrades over its predecessor not limited to the cosmetic changes made to the body and interior , including : Smart Entry -- A sensor is triggered when the remote is brought near the vehicle , allowing the user to simply touch the door handle to open it . Smart Start -- Start / Stop push button for ignition ; a key is not required . 4 - zone climate control on Sahara models , with outlet vents increased from 18 to 28 10 airbags ( VX & Sahara ) Stronger and lighter frame Various driver assist technologies not offered on previous models , including : CRAWL , a four - wheel drive control system that operates like an off - road cruise control , automatically maintaining a low uniform vehicle speed using brakes and throttle Downhill Assist Control Multi-terrain anti-lock braking system ( ABS ) Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System ( KDSS ) , allows for greater wheel articulation An optional rear - view camera ( VX ) Leather seats are available in full option ( VX ) Engine and transmission improvements include : An all new optional V8 diesel engine , the Toyota VD engine ( a twin - turbo version of the engine used in the 70 Series since 2007 ) . Automatic transmission standard across all levels of trim of the 200 Series , five - speed manual transmission is offered only with the 4.0 L GX models ( in selected regions ) . A five - speed automatic gearbox is assigned to the 4.7 L petrol models , while the 4.5 L diesel models receive a six - speed automatic . In Japan , the Land Cruiser had a minor change in 2009 when it received the 4.6 L V8 1UR - FE engine and the gearbox was replaced with a 6 - speed automatic . Although the new 4608 cc 1UR - FE is smaller than the old 4663 cc 2UZ - FE engine , the power has been increased from 212 to 234 kW ( 288 to 318 PS ; 284 to 314 hp ) , torque increased from 448 to 460 N ⋅ m ( 330 to 339 lb ⋅ ft ) and fuel consumption improved from 6.6 to 7.1 km / L ( 19 to 20 mpg ; 16 to 17 mpg ) ( Japan 10 15 mode measurement ) . In the Middle East , the Land Cruiser 200 series was introduced in late 2007 as a 2008 model , for 2008 to 2010 there was three engine choices , 179 kW ( 240 hp ) 4.0 L 1GR - FE petrol , 202 kW ( 271 hp ) 2UZ - FE petrol and 162 -- 173 kW ( 217 -- 232 hp ) 1VD - FTV 4.5 L turbo diesel . Starting in 2011 , the 270 kW ( 362 hp ) 3UR - FE was offered along with the previous engines . For 2012 , the 1GR - FE gained dual VVT - i increased power to 202 kW ( 271 hp ) , the 4.7 L 2UZ - FE was dropped in favour of the new 227 kW ( 304 hp ) 4.6 L 1UR - FE , and the 5.7 L and 4.5 L diesel were unchanged , although the latter was dropped in some markets . In North America , the Land Cruiser 200 series is offered with one trim level and engine , the 5.7 L 3UR - FE V8 petrol engine producing 284 kW ( 386 PS ; 381 hp ) and 544 N ⋅ m ( 401 lb ⋅ ft ) of torque channeled through a six - speed automatic . Towing is rated at 3,700 kg ( 8,200 lb ) . Beige or black leather is standard along with a 14 speaker JBL sound system . The only wheel choice is 18 in ( 460 mm ) allowing a lot of sidewall so the vehicle can be driven off - road without modification though a more aggressive tread pattern is advised for deep mud . For the 2013 model year , Toyota added all previously optional safety and luxury options as standard . The Land Cruiser now gets pushbutton start , HID headlights with beam level adjustment , a power moonroof , automatic rain sensing windshield wipers , heated and ventilated ( perforated leather ) front and only heated rear seats , a rear - seat DVD entertainment system , bluetooth , rearview camera with parking sensors , navigation system , HD radio and Entune . Another new feature is the Multi-terrain Select system which helps control wheelspin and brake lockup giving the selectable choices of : Rock , Rock & Dirt , Mogul , Loose Rock , and Mud & Sand and with an addition to the Multi-terrain Select system a feature known as adaptive Anti-lock Braking system which adapts to the condition of the road like mud or sand and efficiently uses the ABS to reduce braking distance on any type of terrain . In Oceania , the 200 Series is offered in four different levels of trim : GX , GXL , VX , and Sahara . In August 2015 , Toyota launched an updated , face lifted version of the J200 Land Cruiser in Japan , which was rolled out globally . The face lifted version includes a new 8 - speed electronically controlled automatic transmission ( ECT - i ) for the 5.7 L 3UR - FE V8 petrol engine while other engine option 's and transmission remains unchanged . There were also updates to the front fascia , grill , headlamps ( with daylight running lamps ) , rear tail lamps and bumpers . Toyota dropped the Land Cruiser 200 series from United Kingdom lineup with this face lift . Previous to the face lift , the UK market received the Land Cruiser with the 4.5 L 1VD - FTV V8 turbo diesel as the only engine option . In China , the Land Cruiser 200 was produced from 2008 to 2016 by Sichuan FAW Toyota Motor . The 4.0 L 1GR - FE V6 and 4.7 L 2UZ - FE V8 were the available engine choices -- both paired to a 5 speed automatic gearbox . Trim levels were the 4.0 GX - R , 4.0 VX , 4.7 VX and 4.7 VX - R .

U.S. counter-terror officials have inquired with Toyota how the extremist group Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant has apparently acquired large numbers of Toyota Land Cruisers and Hiluxes . Mark Wallace , the CEO of the Counter Extremism Project said , `` Regrettably , the Toyota Land Cruiser and Hilux have effectively become almost part of the ISIS brand .

when did the toyota land cruiser come out
[ "Production of the first generation Land Cruiser began in 1951 (90 units) as Toyota's version of a Jeep-like vehicle.[2][3] The Land Cruiser has been produced in convertible, hardtop, station wagon and cab chassis versions. The Land Cruiser's reliability and longevity has led to huge popularity, especially in Australia where it is the best-selling body-on-frame, four-wheel drive vehicle.[4] Toyota also extensively tests the Land Cruiser in the Australian outback – considered to be one of the toughest operating environments in both temperature and terrain.[5][6][7] In Japan, the Land Cruiser is exclusive to Toyota Japanese dealerships called Toyota Store." ]

The attack , also known as the Battle of Pearl Harbor , led to the United States ' entry into World War II . The Japanese military leadership referred to the attack as the Hawaii Operation and Operation AI , and as Operation Z during its planning . Japan intended the attack as a preventive action to keep the U.S. Pacific Fleet from interfering with its planned military actions in Southeast Asia against overseas territories of the United Kingdom , the Netherlands , and the United States . Over the course of seven hours there were coordinated Japanese attacks on the U.S. - held Philippines , Guam and Wake Island and on the British Empire in Malaya , Singapore , and Hong Kong . The attack commenced at 7 : 48 a.m. Hawaiian Time ( 18 : 18 GMT ) . The base was attacked by 353 Imperial Japanese aircraft ( including fighters , level and dive bombers , and torpedo bombers ) in two waves , launched from six aircraft carriers . All eight U.S. Navy battleships were damaged , with four sunk . All but the USS Arizona were later raised , and six were returned to service and went on to fight in the war . The Japanese also sank or damaged three cruisers , three destroyers , an anti-aircraft training ship , and one minelayer . One hundred eighty - eight U.S. aircraft were destroyed ; 2,403 Americans were killed and 1,178 others were wounded . Important base installations such as the power station , dry dock , shipyard , maintenance , and fuel and torpedo storage facilities , as well as the submarine piers and headquarters building ( also home of the intelligence section ) , were not attacked . Japanese losses were light : 29 aircraft and five midget submarines lost , and 64 servicemen killed . One Japanese sailor , Kazuo Sakamaki , was captured . The surprise attack came as a profound shock to the American people and led directly to the American entry into World War II in both the Pacific and European theaters . The following day , December 8 , the United States declared war on Japan , and several days later , on December 11 , Germany and Italy each declared war on the U.S. The U.S. responded with a declaration of war against Germany and Italy . Domestic support for non-interventionism , which had been fading since the Fall of France in 1940 , disappeared . There were numerous historical precedents for unannounced military action by Japan , but the lack of any formal warning , particularly while negotiations were still apparently ongoing , led President Franklin D. Roosevelt to proclaim December 7 , 1941 , `` a date which will live in infamy '' . Because the attack happened without a declaration of war and without explicit warning , the attack on Pearl Harbor was later judged in the Tokyo Trials to be a war crime .

Over the next decade , Japan continued to expand into China , leading to all - out war between those countries in 1937 . Japan spent considerable effort trying to isolate China and achieve sufficient resource independence to attain victory on the mainland ; the `` Southern Operation '' was designed to assist these efforts . Pearl Harbor on October 30 , 1941 , looking southwest From December 1937 , events such as the Japanese attack on USS Panay , the Allison incident , and the Nanking Massacre ( the International Military Tribunal of the Far East concluded that more than 200,000 Chinese non-combatants were killed in indiscriminate massacres , though other estimates have ranged from 40,000 to more than 300,000 ) swung public opinion in the West sharply against Japan . Fearing Japanese expansion , the United States , the United Kingdom , and France provided loan assistance for war supply contracts to China . In 1940 , Japan invaded French Indochina in an effort to control supplies reaching China . The United States halted shipments of airplanes , parts , machine tools , and aviation gasoline to Japan , which was perceived by Japan as an unfriendly act . The U.S. did not stop oil exports to Japan at that time in part because prevailing sentiment in Washington was that such an action would be an extreme step that Japan would likely consider a provocation , given Japanese dependence on U.S. oil . In mid-1940 President Franklin D. Roosevelt moved the Pacific Fleet to Hawaii from its previous base in San Diego . He also ordered a military buildup in the Philippines , both in the hope of discouraging Japanese aggression in the Far East . Because the Japanese high command was ( mistakenly ) certain that any attack on the UK 's Southeast Asian colonies , including Singapore , would bring the U.S. into war , a devastating preventive strike appeared to be the only way to avoid U.S. naval interference . An invasion of the Philippines was also considered necessary by Japanese war planners . The U.S. War Plan Orange had envisioned defending the Philippines with a 40,000 - man elite force . This was opposed by Douglas MacArthur , who felt that he would need a force ten times that size , and was never implemented . By 1941 , U.S. planners anticipated abandonment of the Philippines at the outbreak of war and orders to that effect were given in late 1941 to Admiral Thomas Hart , commander of the Asiatic Fleet . The U.S. ceased oil exports to Japan in July 1941 , following Japanese expansion into French Indochina after the Fall of France , in part because of new American restrictions on domestic oil consumption . This in turn caused the Japanese to proceed with plans to take the Dutch East Indies , an oil - rich territory . On August 17 , Roosevelt warned Japan that the U.S. was prepared to take steps against Japan if it attacked `` neighboring countries '' . The Japanese were faced with the option of either withdrawing from China and losing face or seizing and securing new sources of raw materials in the resource - rich , European - controlled colonies of Southeast Asia . Japan and the U.S. engaged in negotiations during the course of 1941 in an effort to improve relations . During these negotiations , Japan offered to withdraw from most of China and Indochina when peace was made with the Nationalist government , adopt an independent interpretation of the Tripartite Pact , and not to discriminate in trade provided all other countries reciprocated . Washington rejected these proposals . Japanese Prime Minister Konoye then offered to meet with Roosevelt , but Roosevelt insisted on coming to an agreement before any meeting . The U.S. ambassador to Japan repeatedly urged Roosevelt to accept the meeting , warning that it was the only way to preserve the conciliatory Konoye government and peace in the Pacific . His recommendation was not acted upon . The Konoye government collapsed the following month when the Japanese military refused to agree to the withdrawal of all troops from China . Japan 's final proposal , on November 20 , offered to withdraw their forces from southern Indochina and not to launch any attacks in Southeast Asia provided that the U.S. , the UK , and the Netherlands ceased aiding China and lifted their sanctions against Japan . The American counter-proposal of November 26 ( November 27 in Japan ) ( the Hull note ) required Japan to evacuate all of China without conditions and conclude non-aggression pacts with Pacific powers . However the day before the Hull Note was delivered , on November 26 in Japan , the main Japanese attack fleet left port for Pearl Harbor . Military planning Preliminary planning for an attack on Pearl Harbor to protect the move into the `` Southern Resource Area '' ( the Japanese term for the Dutch East Indies and Southeast Asia generally ) had begun very early in 1941 under the auspices of Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto , then commanding Japan 's Combined Fleet . He won assent to formal planning and training for an attack from the Imperial Japanese Navy General Staff only after much contention with Naval Headquarters , including a threat to resign his command . Full - scale planning was underway by early spring 1941 , primarily by Rear Admiral Ryūnosuke Kusaka , with assistance from Captain Minoru Genda and Yamamoto 's Deputy Chief of Staff , Captain Kameto Kuroshima . The planners studied the 1940 British air attack on the Italian fleet at Taranto intensively . Over the next several months , pilots were trained , equipment was adapted , and intelligence was collected . Despite these preparations , Emperor Hirohito did not approve the attack plan until November 5 , after the third of four Imperial Conferences called to consider the matter . Final authorization was not given by the emperor until December 1 , after a majority of Japanese leaders advised him the `` Hull Note '' would `` destroy the fruits of the China incident , endanger Manchukuo and undermine Japanese control of Korea . '' By late 1941 , many observers believed that hostilities between the U.S. and Japan were imminent . A Gallup poll just before the attack on Pearl Harbor found that 52 % of Americans expected war with Japan , 27 % did not , and 21 % had no opinion . While U.S. Pacific bases and facilities had been placed on alert on many occasions , U.S. officials doubted Pearl Harbor would be the first target ; instead , they expected the Philippines would be attacked first . This presumption was due to the threat that the air bases throughout the country and the naval base at Manila posed to sea lanes , as well as to the shipment of supplies to Japan from territory to the south . They also incorrectly believed that Japan was not capable of mounting more than one major naval operation at a time . Objectives The Japanese attack had several major aims . First , it intended to destroy important American fleet units , thereby preventing the Pacific Fleet from interfering with Japanese conquest of the Dutch East Indies and Malaya and to enable Japan to conquer Southeast Asia without interference . Second , it was hoped to buy time for Japan to consolidate its position and increase its naval strength before shipbuilding authorized by the 1940 Vinson - Walsh Act erased any chance of victory . Third , to deliver a blow to America 's ability to mobilize its forces in the Pacific , battleships were chosen as the main targets , since they were the prestige ships of any navy at the time . Finally , it was hoped that the attack would undermine American morale such that the U.S. government would drop its demands contrary to Japanese interests , and would seek a compromise peace with Japan . Striking the Pacific Fleet at anchor in Pearl Harbor carried two distinct disadvantages : the targeted ships would be in very shallow water , so it would be relatively easy to salvage and possibly repair them ; and most of the crews would survive the attack , since many would be on shore leave or would be rescued from the harbor . A further important disadvantage -- this of timing , and known to the Japanese -- was the absence from Pearl Harbor of all three of the U.S. Pacific Fleet 's aircraft carriers ( Enterprise , Lexington , and Saratoga ) . IJN top command was attached to Admiral Mahan 's `` decisive battle '' doctrine , especially that of destroying the maximum number of battleships . Despite these concerns , Yamamoto decided to press ahead . Japanese confidence in their ability to achieve a short , victorious war also meant other targets in the harbor , especially the navy yard , oil tank farms , and submarine base , were ignored , since -- by their thinking -- the war would be over before the influence of these facilities would be felt . Approach and attack See also : Order of battle of the Attack on Pearl Harbor Route followed by the Japanese fleet to Pearl Harbor and back An Imperial Japanese Navy Mitsubishi A6M Zero fighter on the aircraft carrier Akagi On November 26 , 1941 , a Japanese task force ( the Striking Force ) of six aircraft carriers -- Akagi , Kaga , Sōryū , Hiryū , Shōkaku , and Zuikaku -- departed Hittokapu Bay on Kasatka ( now Iterup ) Island in the Kurile Islands , en route to a position northwest of Hawaii , intending to launch its 408 aircraft to attack Pearl Harbor : 360 for the two attack waves and 48 on defensive combat air patrol ( CAP ) , including nine fighters from the first wave . The first wave was to be the primary attack , while the second wave was to attack carriers as its first objective and cruisers as its second , with battleships as the third target . The first wave carried most of the weapons to attack capital ships , mainly specially adapted Type 91 aerial torpedoes which were designed with an anti-roll mechanism and a rudder extension that let them operate in shallow water . The aircrews were ordered to select the highest value targets ( battleships and aircraft carriers ) or , if these were not present , any other high value ships ( cruisers and destroyers ) . First wave dive bombers were to attack ground targets . Fighters were ordered to strafe and destroy as many parked aircraft as possible to ensure they did not get into the air to intercept the bombers , especially in the first wave . When the fighters ' fuel got low they were to refuel at the aircraft carriers and return to combat . Fighters were to serve CAP duties where needed , especially over U.S. airfields . Before the attack commenced , two reconnaissance aircraft launched from cruisers Chikuma and Tone were sent to scout over Oahu and Maui and report on U.S. fleet composition and location . Reconnaissance aircraft flights risked alerting the U.S. , and were not necessary . U.S. fleet composition and preparedness information in Pearl Harbor was already known due to the reports of the Japanese spy Takeo Yoshikawa . A report of the absence of the U.S. fleet in Lahaina anchorage off Maui was received from the fleet submarine I - 72 . Another four scout planes patrolled the area between the Japanese carrier force ( the Kidō Butai ) and Niihau , to detect any counterattack . Submarines Fleet submarines I - 16 , I - 18 , I - 20 , I - 22 , and I - 24 each embarked a Type A midget submarine for transport to the waters off Oahu . The five I - boats left Kure Naval District on November 25 , 1941 . On December 6 , they came to within 10 nmi ( 19 km ; 12 mi ) of the mouth of Pearl Harbor and launched their midget subs at about 01 : 00 on December 7 . At 03 : 42 Hawaiian Time , the minesweeper Condor spotted a midget submarine periscope southwest of the Pearl Harbor entrance buoy and alerted the destroyer Ward . The midget may have entered Pearl Harbor . However , Ward sank another midget submarine at 06 : 37 in the first American shots in the Pacific Theater . A midget submarine on the north side of Ford Island missed the seaplane tender Curtiss with her first torpedo and missed the attacking destroyer Monaghan with her other one before being sunk by Monaghan at 08 : 43 . A third midget submarine , Ha - 19 , grounded twice , once outside the harbor entrance and again on the east side of Oahu , where it was captured on December 8 . Ensign Kazuo Sakamaki swam ashore and was captured by Hawaii National Guard Corporal David Akui , becoming the first Japanese prisoner of war . A fourth had been damaged by a depth charge attack and was abandoned by its crew before it could fire its torpedoes . Japanese forces received a radio message from a midget submarine at 00 : 41 on December 8 claiming damage to one or more large warships inside Pearl Harbor . In 1992 , 2000 , and 2001 , Hawaii Undersea Research Laboratory 's submersibles found the wreck of the fifth midget submarine lying in three parts outside Pearl Harbor . The wreck was in the debris field where much surplus U.S. equipment was dumped after the war , including vehicles and landing craft . Both of its torpedoes were missing . This correlates with reports of two torpedoes fired at the light cruiser St. Louis at 10 : 04 at the entrance of Pearl Harbor , and a possible torpedo fired at destroyer Helm at 08 : 21 . Japanese declaration of war See also : Japanese war crimes The attack took place before any formal declaration of war was made by Japan , but this was not Admiral Yamamoto 's intention . He originally stipulated that the attack should not commence until thirty minutes after Japan had informed the United States that peace negotiations were at an end . However , the attack began before the notice could be delivered . Tokyo transmitted the 5000 - word notification ( commonly called the `` 14 - Part Message '' ) in two blocks to the Japanese Embassy in Washington . Transcribing the message took too long for the Japanese ambassador to deliver it on schedule ; in the event , it was not presented until more than an hour after the attack began . ( In fact , U.S. code breakers had already deciphered and translated most of the message hours before he was scheduled to deliver it . ) The final part is sometimes described as a declaration of war . While it was viewed by a number of senior U.S government and military officials as a very strong indicator negotiations were likely to be terminated and that war might break out at any moment , it neither declared war nor severed diplomatic relations . A declaration of war was printed on the front page of Japan 's newspapers in the evening edition of December 8 , but not delivered to the U.S. government until the day after the attack . For decades , conventional wisdom held that Japan attacked without first formally breaking diplomatic relations only because of accidents and bumbling that delayed the delivery of a document hinting at war to Washington . In 1999 , however , Takeo Iguchi , a professor of law and international relations at International Christian University in Tokyo , discovered documents that pointed to a vigorous debate inside the government over how , and indeed whether , to notify Washington of Japan 's intention to break off negotiations and start a war , including a December 7 entry in the war diary saying , `` ( O ) ur deceptive diplomacy is steadily proceeding toward success . '' Of this , Iguchi said , `` The diary shows that the army and navy did not want to give any proper declaration of war , or indeed prior notice even of the termination of negotiations ... and they clearly prevailed . '' In any event , even if the Japanese had decoded and delivered the 14 - Part Message before the beginning of the attack , it would not have constituted either a formal break of diplomatic relations or a declaration of war . The final two paragraphs of the message read : Thus the earnest hope of the Japanese Government to adjust Japanese - American relations and to preserve and promote the peace of the Pacific through cooperation with the American Government has finally been lost . The Japanese Government regrets to have to notify hereby the American Government that in view of the attitude of the American Government it can not but consider that it is impossible to reach an agreement through further negotiations . First wave composition The Japanese attacked in two waves . The first wave was detected by U.S. Army radar at 136 nautical miles ( 252 km ) , but was misidentified as USAAF bombers arriving from the American mainland Top : A. Ford Island NAS B.

Six planes failed to launch due to technical difficulties . It included : 1st Group ( targets : battleships and aircraft carriers ) 49 Nakajima B5N Kate bombers armed with 800 kg ( 1760 lb ) armor - piercing bombs , organized in four sections ( 1 failed to launch ) 40 B5N bombers armed with Type 91 torpedoes , also in four sections 2nd Group -- ( targets : Ford Island and Wheeler Field ) 51 Aichi D3A Val dive bombers armed with 550 lb ( 249 kg ) general - purpose bombs ( 3 failed to launch ) 3rd Group -- ( targets : aircraft at Ford Island , Hickam Field , Wheeler Field , Barber 's Point , Kaneohe ) 43 Mitsubishi A6M `` Zero '' fighters for air control and strafing ( 2 failed to launch ) As the first wave approached Oahu , it was detected by the U.S. Army SCR - 270 radar at Opana Point near the island 's northern tip . This post had been in training mode for months , but was not yet operational . The operators , Privates George Elliot Jr. and Joseph Lockard , reported a target . But Lieutenant Kermit A. Tyler , a newly assigned officer at the thinly manned Intercept Center , presumed it was the scheduled arrival of six B - 17 bombers from California . The Japanese planes were approaching from a direction very close ( only a few degrees difference ) to the bombers , and while the operators had never seen a formation as large on radar , they neglected to tell Tyler of its size . Tyler , for security reasons , could not tell the operators of the six B - 17s that were due ( even though it was widely known ) . As the first wave planes approached Oahu , they encountered and shot down several U.S. aircraft . At least one of these radioed a somewhat incoherent warning . Other warnings from ships off the harbor entrance were still being processed or awaiting confirmation when the attacking planes began bombing and strafing . Nevertheless , it is not clear any warnings would have had much effect even if they had been interpreted correctly and much more promptly . The results the Japanese achieved in the Philippines were essentially the same as at Pearl Harbor , though MacArthur had almost nine hours warning that the Japanese had already attacked Pearl Harbor . The air portion of the attack began at 7 : 48 a.m. Hawaiian Time ( 3 : 18 a.m. December 8 Japanese Standard Time , as kept by ships of the Kido Butai ) , with the attack on Kaneohe . A total of 353 Japanese planes in two waves reached Oahu . Slow , vulnerable torpedo bombers led the first wave , exploiting the first moments of surprise to attack the most important ships present ( the battleships ) , while dive bombers attacked U.S. air bases across Oahu , starting with Hickam Field , the largest , and Wheeler Field , the main U.S. Army Air Forces fighter base . The 171 planes in the second wave attacked the Army Air Forces ' Bellows Field near Kaneohe on the windward side of the island , and Ford Island . The only aerial opposition came from a handful of P - 36 Hawks , P - 40 Warhawks , and some SBD Dauntless dive bombers from the carrier Enterprise . A destroyed Vindicator at Ewa field , the victim of one of the smaller attacks on the approach to Pearl Harbor In the first wave attack , about eight of the forty - nine 800 kg ( 1760 lb ) armor - piercing bombs dropped hit their intended battleship targets . At least two of those bombs broke up on impact , another detonated before penetrating an unarmored deck , and one was a dud . Thirteen of the forty torpedoes hit battleships , and four torpedoes hit other ships . Men aboard U.S. ships awoke to the sounds of alarms , bombs exploding , and gunfire , prompting bleary - eyed men to dress as they ran to General Quarters stations . ( The famous message , `` Air raid Pearl Harbor . This is not drill . '' , was sent from the headquarters of Patrol Wing Two , the first senior Hawaiian command to respond . ) The defenders were very unprepared . Ammunition lockers were locked , aircraft parked wingtip to wingtip in the open to prevent sabotage , guns unmanned ( none of the Navy 's 5 `` / 38s , only a quarter of its machine guns , and only four of 31 Army batteries got in action ) . Despite this low alert status , many American military personnel responded effectively during the attack . Ensign Joe Taussig Jr. , aboard Nevada , commanded the ship 's antiaircraft guns and was severely wounded , but continued to be on post . Lt. Commander F.J. Thomas commanded Nevada in the captain 's absence and got her under way until the ship was grounded at 9 : 10 a.m. One of the destroyers , Aylwin , got underway with only four officers aboard , all ensigns , none with more than a year 's sea duty ; she operated at sea for 36 hours before her commanding officer managed to get back aboard . Captain Mervyn Bennion , commanding West Virginia , led his men until he was cut down by fragments from a bomb which hit Tennessee , moored alongside . Second wave composition The second planned wave consisted of 171 planes : 54 B5Ns , 81 D3As , and 36 A6Ms , commanded by Lieutenant - Commander Shigekazu Shimazaki . Four planes failed to launch because of technical difficulties . This wave and its targets comprised : 1st Group -- 54 B5Ns armed with 550 lb ( 249 kg ) and 132 lb ( 60 kg ) general - purpose bombs 27 B5Ns -- aircraft and hangars on Kaneohe , Ford Island , and Barbers Point 27 B5Ns -- hangars and aircraft on Hickam Field 2nd Group ( targets : aircraft carriers and cruisers ) 78 D3As armed with 550 lb ( 249 kg ) general - purpose bombs , in four sections ( 3 aborted ) 3rd Group -- ( targets : aircraft at Ford Island , Hickam Field , Wheeler Field , Barber 's Point , Kaneohe ) 35 A6Ms for defense and strafing ( 1 aborted ) The second wave was divided into three groups . One was tasked to attack Kāne ʻohe , the rest Pearl Harbor proper . The separate sections arrived at the attack point almost simultaneously from several directions . American casualties and damage Ninety minutes after it began , the attack was over . Two thousand and eight sailors were killed , and 710 others wounded ; 218 soldiers and airmen ( who were part of the Army until the independent U.S. Air Force was formed in 1947 ) were killed and 364 wounded ; 109 marines were killed and 69 wounded ; and 68 civilians were killed and 35 wounded . In total , 2,403 Americans died and 1,178 were wounded . Eighteen ships were sunk or run aground , including five battleships . All of the Americans killed or wounded during the attack were non-combatants , given the fact there was no state of war when the attack occurred . USS Arizona during the attack USS Nevada , on fire and down at the bow , attempting to leave the harbor before being deliberately beached Of the American fatalities , nearly half were due to the explosion of Arizona 's forward magazine after it was hit by a modified 16 - inch ( 410 mm ) shell . Already damaged by a torpedo and on fire amidships , Nevada attempted to exit the harbor . She was targeted by many Japanese bombers as she got under way and sustained more hits from 250 lb ( 113 kg ) bombs , which started further fires . She was deliberately beached to avoid blocking the harbor entrance . USS West Virginia was sunk by six torpedoes and two bombs during the attack California was hit by two bombs and two torpedoes . The crew might have kept her afloat , but were ordered to abandon ship just as they were raising power for the pumps . Burning oil from Arizona and West Virginia drifted down on her , and probably made the situation look worse than it was . The disarmed target ship Utah was holed twice by torpedoes . West Virginia was hit by seven torpedoes , the seventh tearing away her rudder . Oklahoma was hit by four torpedoes , the last two above her belt armor , which caused her to capsize . Maryland was hit by two of the converted 16 '' shells , but neither caused serious damage . Although the Japanese concentrated on battleships ( the largest vessels present ) , they did not ignore other targets . The light cruiser Helena was torpedoed , and the concussion from the blast capsized the neighboring minelayer Oglala . Two destroyers in dry dock , Cassin and Downes were destroyed when bombs penetrated their fuel bunkers . The leaking fuel caught fire ; flooding the dry dock in an effort to fight fire made the burning oil rise , and both were burned out . Cassin slipped from her keel blocks and rolled against Downes . The light cruiser Raleigh was holed by a torpedo . The light cruiser Honolulu was damaged , but remained in service . The repair vessel Vestal , moored alongside Arizona , was heavily damaged and beached . The seaplane tender Curtiss was also damaged . The destroyer Shaw was badly damaged when two bombs penetrated her forward magazine . This message denotes the first U.S. ship , St. Louis to clear Pearl Harbor . ( National Archives and Records Administration ) ( Note that this is in answer to question `` Is channel clear ? '' and faint writing at bottom concerning the answer being held until St. Louis had successfully cleared . ) Of the 402 American aircraft in Hawaii , 188 were destroyed and 159 damaged , 155 of them on the ground . Almost none were actually ready to take off to defend the base . Eight Army Air Forces pilots managed to get airborne during the attack and six were credited with downing at least one Japanese aircraft during the attack : 1st Lt. Lewis M. Sanders , 2nd Lt. Philip M. Rasmussen , 2nd Lt. Kenneth M. Taylor , 2nd Lt. George S. Welch , 2nd Lt. Harry W. Brown , and 2nd Lt. Gordon H. Sterling Jr . Sterling was shot down by Lt. Fujita over Kaneohe Bay and is listed as Body Not Recovered ( not Missing In Action ) . Lt. John L. Dains was killed by friendly fire returning from a victory over Kaawa . Of 33 PBYs in Hawaii , 24 were destroyed , and six others damaged beyond repair . ( The three on patrol returned undamaged . ) Friendly fire brought down some U.S. planes on top of that , including five from an inbound flight from Enterprise . Japanese attacks on barracks killed additional personnel . At the time of the attack , nine civilian aircraft were flying in the vicinity of Pearl Harbor . Of these , three were shot down . Japanese losses Fifty - five Japanese airmen and nine submariners were killed in the attack , and one was captured . Of Japan 's 414 available planes , 29 were lost during the battle ( nine in the first attack wave , 20 in the second ) , with another 74 damaged by antiaircraft fire from the ground . Possible third wave Several Japanese junior officers including Fuchida and Genda urged Nagumo to carry out a third strike in order to destroy as much of Pearl Harbor 's fuel and torpedo storage , maintenance , and dry dock facilities as possible . Genda , who had unsuccessfully advocated for invading Hawaii after the air attack , believed that without an invasion , three strikes were necessary to disable the base as much as possible . The captains of the other five carriers in the task force reported they were willing and ready to carry out a third strike . Military historians have suggested the destruction of these shore facilities would have hampered the U.S. Pacific Fleet far more seriously than the loss of its battleships . If they had been wiped out , `` serious ( American ) operations in the Pacific would have been postponed for more than a year '' ; according to Admiral Chester W. Nimitz , later Commander in Chief of the Pacific Fleet , `` it would have prolonged the war another two years . '' Nagumo , however , decided to withdraw for several reasons : American anti-aircraft performance had improved considerably during the second strike , and two thirds of Japan 's losses were incurred during the second wave . Nagumo felt if he launched a third strike , he would be risking three quarters of the Combined Fleet 's strength to wipe out the remaining targets ( which included the facilities ) while suffering higher aircraft losses . The location of the American carriers remained unknown . In addition , the admiral was concerned his force was now within range of American land - based bombers . Nagumo was uncertain whether the U.S. had enough surviving planes remaining on Hawaii to launch an attack against his carriers . A third wave would have required substantial preparation and turnaround time , and would have meant returning planes would have had to land at night . At the time , only the Royal Navy had developed night carrier techniques , so this was a substantial risk . The task force 's fuel situation did not permit him to remain in waters north of Pearl Harbor much longer , since he was at the very limit of logistical support . To do so risked running unacceptably low on fuel , perhaps even having to abandon destroyers en route home . He believed the second strike had essentially satisfied the main objective of his mission -- the neutralization of the Pacific Fleet -- and did not wish to risk further losses . Moreover , it was Japanese Navy practice to prefer the conservation of strength over the total destruction of the enemy . At a conference aboard his flagship the following morning , Yamamoto supported Nagumo 's withdrawal without launching a third wave . In retrospect , sparing the vital dockyards , maintenance shops , and the oil tank farm meant the U.S. could respond relatively quickly to Japanese activities in the Pacific . Yamamoto later regretted Nagumo 's decision to withdraw and categorically stated it had been a great mistake not to order a third strike . Ships lost or damaged Seventeen ships were damaged or lost in the attack , of which fourteen were repaired and returned to service . Battleships Arizona ( RADM Kidd 's flagship of Battleship Division One ) : hit by four armor - piercing bombs , exploded ; total loss . 1,177 dead . Oklahoma : hit by five torpedoes , capsized ; total loss . 429 dead . West Virginia : hit by two bombs , seven torpedoes , sunk ; returned to service July 1944 . 106 dead . California : hit by two bombs , two torpedoes , sunk ; returned to service January 1944 . 100 dead . Nevada : hit by six bombs , one torpedo , beached ; returned to service October 1942 . 60 dead . Pennsylvania ( ADM Kimmel 's flagship of the United States Pacific Fleet ) : in drydock with Cassin and Downes , hit by one bomb and debris from USS Cassin ; remained in service . 9 dead . Tennessee : hit by two bombs ; returned to service February 1942 . 5 dead . Maryland : hit by two bombs ; returned to service February 1942 . 4 dead ( including floatplane pilot shot down ) . Ex-battleship ( target / aa training ship ) Utah : hit by two torpedoes , capsized ; total loss . 64 dead . Cruisers Helena : hit by one torpedo ; returned to service January 1942 . 20 dead . Raleigh : hit by one torpedo ; returned to service February 1942 . Honolulu : Near miss , light damage ; remained in service . Destroyers Cassin : in drydock with Downes and Pennsylvania , hit by one bomb , burned ; returned to service February 1944 . Downes : in drydock with Cassin and Pennsylvania , caught fire from Cassin , burned ; returned to service November 1943 . Shaw : hit by three bombs ; returned to service June 1942 . Auxiliaries Oglala ( minelayer ) : Damaged by torpedo hit on Helena , capsized ; returned to service ( as engine - repair ship ) February 1944 . Vestal ( repair ship ) : hit by two bombs , blast and fire from Arizona , beached ; returned to service by August 1942 . Curtiss ( seaplane tender ) : hit by one bomb , one crashed Japanese aircraft ; returned to service January 1942 . 19 dead . Sotoyomo ( harbor tug ) : damaged by explosion and fires in Shaw ; sunk ; returned to service August 1942 . Salvage Captain Homer N. Wallin ( center ) supervises salvage operations aboard USS California , early 1942 After a systematic search for survivors , formal salvage operations began . Captain Homer N. Wallin , Material Officer for Commander , Battle Force , U.S. Pacific Fleet , was immediately ordered to lead salvage operations . `` Within a short time I was relieved of all other duties and ordered to full time work as Fleet Salvage Officer . '' Around Pearl Harbor , divers from the Navy ( shore and tenders ) , the Naval Shipyard , and civilian contractors ( Pacific Bridge and others ) began work on the ships that could be refloated . They patched holes , cleared debris , and pumped water out of ships . Navy divers worked inside the damaged ships . Within six months , five battleships and two cruisers were patched or refloated so they could be sent to shipyards in Pearl Harbor and on the mainland for extensive repair . Intensive salvage operations continued for another year , a total of some 20,000 man - hours under water . Oklahoma , while successfully raised , was never repaired , and capsized while under tow to the mainland in 1947 . Arizona and the target ship Utah were too heavily damaged for salvage , though much of their armament and equipment was removed and put to use aboard other vessels . Today , the two hulks remain where they were sunk , with Arizona becoming a war memorial . Aftermath Main article : Consequences of the attack on Pearl Harbor U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt signing declaration of war against Imperial Japan on December 8 , 1941 In the wake of the attack , 15 Medals of Honor , 51 Navy Crosses , 53 Silver Stars , four Navy and Marine Corps Medals , one Distinguished Flying Cross , four Distinguished Service Crosses , one Distinguished Service Medal , and three Bronze Star Medals were awarded to the American servicemen who distinguished themselves in combat at Pearl Harbor . Additionally , a special military award , the Pearl Harbor Commemorative Medal , was later authorized for all military veterans of the attack . The day after the attack , Roosevelt delivered his famous Infamy Speech to a Joint Session of Congress , calling for a formal declaration of war on the Empire of Japan . Congress obliged his request less than an hour later . On December 11 , Germany and Italy declared war on the United States , even though the Tripartite Pact did not require it . Congress issued a declaration of war against Germany and Italy later that same day . The UK actually declared war on Japan nine hours before the U.S. did , partially due to Japanese attacks on Malaya , Singapore and Hong Kong , and partially due to Winston Churchill 's promise to declare war `` within the hour '' of a Japanese attack on the United States . Pennsylvania , behind the wreckage of Downes and Cassin The attack was an initial shock to all the Allies in the Pacific Theater . Further losses compounded the alarming setback . Japan attacked the Philippines hours later ( because of the time difference , it was December 8 in the Philippines ) . Only three days after the attack on Pearl Harbor , the battleships Prince of Wales and Repulse were sunk off the coast of Malaya , causing British Prime Minister Winston Churchill later to recollect `` In all the war I never received a more direct shock . As I turned and twisted in bed the full horror of the news sank in upon me . There were no British or American capital ships in the Indian Ocean or the Pacific except the American survivors of Pearl Harbor who were hastening back to California . Over this vast expanse of waters Japan was supreme and we everywhere were weak and naked '' . Remember December 7th ! , by Allen Saalburg , propaganda issued in 1942 Throughout the war , Pearl Harbor was frequently used in American propaganda . One further consequence of the attack on Pearl Harbor and its aftermath ( notably the Niihau incident ) was that Japanese American residents and citizens were relocated to nearby Japanese - American internment camps . Within hours of the attack , hundreds of Japanese American leaders were rounded up and brought to high - security camps such as Sand Island at the mouth of Honolulu harbor and Kilauea Military Camp on the island of Hawaii . Eventually , more than 110,000 Japanese Americans , nearly all who lived on the West Coast , were forced into interior camps , but in Hawaii , where the 150,000 - plus Japanese Americans composed over one - third of the population , only 1,200 to 1,800 were interned . The attack also had international consequences . The Canadian province of British Columbia , bordering the Pacific Ocean , had long had a large population of Japanese immigrants and their Japanese Canadian descendants . Pre-war tensions were exacerbated by the Pearl Harbor attack , leading to a reaction from the Government of Canada . On February 24 , 1942 , Order - in - Council P.C. no . 1486 was passed under the War Measures Act allowing for the forced removal of any and all Canadians of Japanese descent from British Columbia , as well as the prohibiting them from returning to the province . On 4 March , regulations under the Act were adopted to evacuate Japanese - Canadians . As a result , 12,000 were interned in interior camps , 2,000 were sent to road camps and another 2,000 were forced to work in the prairies at sugar beet farms . Petty Officer Shigenori Nishikaichi 's aircraft shown ten days after it crashed Niihau incident Main article : Niihau incident The Japanese planners had determined that some means was required for rescuing fliers whose aircraft were too badly damaged to return to the carriers . The island of Niihau , only 30 minutes flying time from Pearl Harbor , was designated as the rescue point . The Zero flown by Petty Officer Shigenori Nishikaichi of Hiryu was damaged in the attack on Wheeler , so he flew to the rescue point on Niihau . The aircraft was further damaged on landing . Nishikaichi was helped from the wreckage by one of the native Hawaiians , who , aware of the tension between the United States and Japan , took the pilot 's maps and other documents . The island 's residents had no telephones or radio and were completely unaware of the attack on Pearl Harbor . Nishikaichi enlisted the support of three Japanese - American residents in an attempt to recover the documents . During the ensuing struggles , Nishikaichi was killed and a Hawaiian civilian was wounded ; one collaborator committed suicide , and his wife and the third collaborator were sent to prison . The ease with which the local ethnic Japanese residents had apparently gone to the assistance of Nishikaichi was a source of concern for many , and tended to support those who believed that local Japanese could not be trusted . Strategic implications Admiral Hara Tadaichi summed up the Japanese result by saying , `` We won a great tactical victory at Pearl Harbor and thereby lost the war . '' To a similar effect , see Isoroku Yamamoto 's alleged `` sleeping giant '' quote . While the attack accomplished its intended objective , it turned out to be largely unnecessary . Unbeknownst to Yamamoto , who conceived the original plan , the U.S. Navy had decided as far back as 1935 to abandon ' charging ' across the Pacific towards the Philippines in response to an outbreak of war ( in keeping with the evolution of Plan Orange ) . The U.S. instead adopted `` Plan Dog '' in 1940 , which emphasized keeping the IJN out of the eastern Pacific and away from the shipping lanes to Australia , while the U.S. concentrated on defeating Nazi Germany . Fortunately for the United States , the American aircraft carriers were untouched by the Japanese attack ; otherwise the Pacific Fleet 's ability to conduct offensive operations would have been crippled for a year or more ( given no diversions from the Atlantic Fleet ) . As it was , the elimination of the battleships left the U.S. Navy with no choice but to rely on its aircraft carriers and submarines -- the very weapons with which the U.S. Navy halted and eventually reversed the Japanese advance . While six of the eight battleships were repaired and returned to service , their relatively low speed and high fuel consumption limited their deployment , and they served mainly in shore bombardment roles ( their only major action being the Battle of Surigao Strait in October 1944 ) . A major flaw of Japanese strategic thinking was a belief that the ultimate Pacific battle would be fought by battleships , in keeping with the doctrine of Captain Alfred Thayer Mahan . As a result , Yamamoto ( and his successors ) hoarded battleships for a `` decisive battle '' that never happened . The Japanese confidence in their ability to achieve a short , victorious war meant that they neglected Pearl Harbor 's navy repair yards , oil tank farms , submarine base , and old headquarters building . All of these targets were omitted from Genda 's list , yet they proved more important than any battleship to the American war efforts in the Pacific . The survival of the repair shops and fuel depots allowed Pearl Harbor to maintain logistical support to the U.S. Navy 's operations , such as the Battles of Coral Sea and Midway . It was submarines that immobilized the Imperial Japanese Navy 's heavy ships and brought Japan 's economy to a virtual standstill by crippling the transportation of oil and raw materials : by the end of 1942 , import of raw materials was cut to half of what it had been , `` to a disastrous ten million tons '' , while oil import `` was almost completely stopped '' . Lastly , the basement of the Old Administration Building was the home of the cryptanalytic unit which contributed significantly to the Midway ambush and the Submarine Force 's success . Retrospective debate on American intelligence Main article : Pearl Harbor advance - knowledge conspiracy theory Ever since the Japanese attack , there has been debate as to how and why the United States had been caught unaware , and how much and when American officials knew of Japanese plans and related topics . Military officers including Gen. Billy Mitchell had pointed out the vulnerability of Pearl to air attack . At least two naval war games , one in 1932 and another in 1936 , proved that Pearl was vulnerable to such an attack . Admiral James Richardson was removed from command shortly after protesting President Roosevelt 's decision to move the bulk of the Pacific fleet to Pearl Harbor . The decisions of military and political leadership to ignore these warnings has contributed to conspiracy theories . Several writers , including journalist Robert Stinnett and former United States Rear Admiral Robert Alfred Theobald , have argued that various parties high in the U.S. and British governments knew of the attack in advance and may even have let it happen or encouraged it in order to force the U.S. into war via the so - called `` back door '' . However , this conspiracy theory is rejected by mainstream historians .

Jump up ^ `` The Dorn report did not state with certainty that Kimmel and Short knew about Taranto . There is , however , no doubt that they did know , as did the Japanese . Lt. Cdr . Takeshi Naito , the assistant naval attaché to Berlin , flew to Taranto to investigate the attack first hand , and Naito subsequently had a lengthy conversation with Cdr . Mitsuo Fuchida about his observations . Fuchida led the Japanese attack on December 7 , 1941 . '' Jump up ^ `` A torpedo bomber needed a long , level flight , and when released , its conventional torpedo would plunge nearly a hundred feet deep before swerving upward to strike a hull . Pearl Harbor deep averages 42 feet . But the Japanese borrowed an idea from the British carrier - based torpedo raid on the Italian naval base of Taranto . They fashioned auxiliary wooden tail fins to keep the torpedoes horizontal , so they would dive to only 35 feet , and they added a breakaway `` nosecone '' of soft wood to cushion the impact with the surface of the water . '' Jump up ^ She was located by a University of Hawaii research submersible on August 28 , 2002 in 400 m ( 1,300 ft ) of water , 6 nmi ( 11 km ) outside the harbor . Jump up ^ While the nine sailors who died in the attack were quickly lionized by the Japanese government as Kyūgunshin ( `` The Nine War Heroes '' ) , the news of Sakamaki 's capture , which had been publicized in U.S. news broadcasts , was kept secret . Even after the war , however , he received recriminating correspondence from those who despised him for not sacrificing his own life . Jump up ^ The Japanese Attack on Pearl Harbor , Planning and Execution . First wave : 189 planes , 50 Kates w / bombs , 40 Kates with torpedoes , 54 Vals , 45 Zekes Second wave : 171 planes , 54 Kates w / bombs , 81 Vals , 36 Zekes . The Combat Air Patrol over the carriers alternated 18 plane shifts every two hours , with 18 more ready for takeoff on the flight decks and an additional 18 ready on hangar decks . Jump up ^ In the twenty - five sorties flown , USAF Historical Study No. 85 credits six pilots with ten planes destroyed : 1st Lt Lewis M. Sanders ( P - 36 ) and 2nd Lts Philip M Rasmussen ( P - 36 ) , Gordon H. Sterling Jr . ( P - 36 , killed in action ) , Harry W. Brown ( P - 36 ) , Kenneth M. Taylor ( P - 40 , 2 ) , and George S. Welch ( P - 40 , 4 ) . Three of the P - 36 kills were not verified by the Japanese and may have been shot down by naval anti-aircraft fire . Jump up ^ Odd though it may sound , `` not '' is correct , in keeping with standard Navy telegraphic practice . This was confirmed by Beloite and Beloite after years of research and debate . Jump up ^ The gunners that did get in action scored most of the victories against Japanese aircraft that morning , including the first of the attack by Tautog , and Dorie Miller 's Navy Cross-worthy effort . Miller was an African - American cook aboard West Virginia who took over an unattended anti-aircraft gun on which he had no training . He was the first African - American sailor to be awarded the Navy Cross . Jump up ^ The wreck has become a memorial to those lost that day , most of whom remain within the ship . She continues to leak small amounts of fuel oil , over 70 years after the attack . Jump up ^ USAAF pilots of the 46th and 47th Pursuit Squadrons , 15th Pursuit Group , claim to have destroyed 10 . Jump up ^ In the event , loss of these might have been a net benefit to the U.S. Blair , passim . Jump up ^ Wallin had been assigned to go to Massawa in East Africa . The harbor there was blocked by scuttled Italian and German ships , which prevented British use of the port . Commander Edward Ellsberg was sent instead .

who was president of the united states when pearl harbor was attacked
[ "There were numerous historical precedents for unannounced military action by Japan, but the lack of any formal warning, particularly while negotiations were still apparently ongoing, led President Franklin D. Roosevelt to proclaim December 7, 1941, \"a date which will live in infamy\". Because the attack happened without a declaration of war and without explicit warning, the attack on Pearl Harbor was later judged in the Tokyo Trials to be a war crime.[23][24]\n" ]

Interstate 59 about 4 miles north of Gadsden . The S - shaped curve was built to avoid running into a steep mountain . A sharp turn in a series of sharp bends on Kali Oka Road , in Saraland , just south of a Crybaby Bridge . California ( edit ) An S - shape connector on the San Francisco -- Oakland Bay Bridge , as seen on September 29 , 2009 , from the U.S. Coast Guard station on Yerba Buena Island A curve on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles memorialized in the hit song `` Dead Man 's Curve '' by Jan and Dean Some say it is a nearly 90 ° right turn traveling west on Sunset Boulevard just past North Whittier Drive . Others say it is located near the Bel Air estates north of UCLA 's Drake Stadium going eastbound ( not westbound as in the song ) . While an accident involving voice actor Mel Blanc prompted safety improvement , the curve remains today . Others remember the location as the curve at Evans Road going westbound ( as in the song ) , a decreasing radius blind turn to the left with a downhill entry . Maximum speed in the first half of the turn is too fast for the last half of the turn , making it all too easy to lose control , run off the road and crash . A temporary S - shape curve on the eastern span of the San Francisco -- Oakland Bay Bridge ( part of Interstate 80 ) . After its installation on September 8 , 2009 , to divert traffic as part of a replacement project , 43 accidents took place , including one fatal crash . A sharp turn in the shape of a `` U '' on SR 76 in San Diego County , near Red Gate Road . The curve has claimed the lives of many motorcyclists . Colorado ( edit ) A sharp turn on eastbound Interstate 70 near Morrison that is preceded by a 7 - mile ( 11 km ) stretch of a 6.5 % grade downslope , which has been the site of numerous fatal runaway truck accidents . A high - banked turn on eastbound US 50 just west of Cañon City that is preceded by an 8 - mile ( 13 km ) stretch of downslope , which has caused several vehicles to go over the banked edge and wreck . Hawaii ( edit ) A sharp turn at the end of Kapaa Quarry Road , which is a dimly lit utility road in Kailua , Honolulu County , that has claimed eight fatalities and is considered one of Oahu 's haunted roads . Illinois ( edit ) In Towanda , Illinois , an almost 90 ° Dead Man 's Curve on the original Old U.S. Route 66 was the site of many accidents ; a number of which ended in fatalities . The roadbed was eventually turned into a park and walking trail . Indiana ( edit ) In Indianapolis , a curve on Interstate 70 westbound at mile marker 83.1 When opened , it had a negative camber on the right shoulder , and several truckers lost control and hit the a bridge abutment , losing their lives . The stretch was closed , re-engineered with a positive bank and with rain slots along the boundary and was reopened with a 40 miles per hour ( 64 km / h ) speed limit . Kentucky ( edit ) A treacherous stretch of Interstates 71 and 75 in Northern Kentucky , originally known as `` Death Hill '' and now known as `` Cut - in - the - Hill . '' Louisiana ( edit ) In northern Bossier Parish , a sharp curve on Louisiana 157 ( Hickory Drive ) , just inside the city limits of Plain Dealing , south of the town cemetery .

Geographical coordinates : 46 ° 31 ′ 54 '' N 87 ° 28 ′ 26 '' W  /  46.5318 ° N 87.474 ° W  / 46.5318 ; - 87.474 In Milford , MI , Oakland County ( 42 ° 33'37.4 `` N 83 ° 35'50.0 '' W ) Missouri ( edit ) Sharp turn on Missouri State Route 34 just east of Garwood , in Reynolds County . Missouri letter Hwy A in Franklin County between Washington and Krakow ( 38 ° 31 ′ 14 '' N 91 ° 02 ′ 14 '' W  /  38.520580 ° N 91.037139 ° W  / 38.520580 ; - 91.037139 ) New Mexico ( edit ) Near Mesita , a 180o bend in the road to the left on Historic U.S. Route 66 nicknamed `` Dead Man 's Curve '' Between Albuquerque and Tijeras , State Road 333 ( previously known as U.S. Route 66 ) makes a sudden curve near the I - 40 overpass . This stretch of highway has earned its name because of the rocky cliffs on the south side of the highway , and frequent deer traffic contributes to its hazardousness New York ( edit ) A 90o turn on New York State Route 17 in Binghamton , near the junction with Interstate 81 and Interstate 88 , which also goes by the name Kamikaze Curve . The tight curve , which hugs Prospect Mountain along the Chenango River , is slated for improvements as part of NY 17 's upgrade to Interstate 86 . Union Square in Manhattan had a long history of traffic congestion extending back to the 1890s , when trolley lines were first installed . Two parallel trolley lines made a double curve at the southwest corner of Broadway and Fourteenth Street . In spite of traffic wardens on duty , the trolleys regularly struck pedestrians crossing the tracks in the busy shopping district around the park . By 1930 , the Fourteenth Street Association , a retail business association headed by its president , H. Prescott Beach , had successfully lobbied the New York transit authority to remove the above - ground rails , and move routes underground . North Carolina ( edit ) On northbound Interstate 77 in Charlotte , there is an S - shaped curve as it passes under the Brookshire Freeway ( exit 11 , signed as Interstate 277 east of the interchange , and North Carolina Highway 16 in both directions ) . The reason for this is because there are two left - hand exits and entrances : one ramp goes from northbound I - 77 to northbound NC 16 , and the other ramp goes from the end of I - 277 to southbound I - 77 . Ohio ( edit ) Dead Man 's Curve in Cleveland , Ohio The nearly 90o turn on Interstate 90 near downtown Cleveland , officially called the `` Innerbelt Curve '' , at the point where the Cleveland Memorial Shoreway connects to the Innerbelt Freeway at a modified trumpet interchange just south of Burke Lakefront Airport . The advisory speed is 35 miles per hour ( 56 km / h ) , although the maximum speed limit is 50 miles per hour ( 80 km / h ) , as on adjacent sections of the Shoreway and Innerbelt . Location : 41 ° 31 ′ 02 '' N 81 ° 40 ′ 31 '' W  /  41.5173 ° N 81.6754 ° W  / 41.5173 ; - 81.6754 Dead Man 's Curve was constructed as part of the Innerbelt project in 1959 . At the time , Interstate 90 had been planned to continue westward on the Shoreway , connecting with its current location via the never - built Parma Freeway . It soon became apparent that the curve was too sharp for travel at typical Interstate speeds , and in 1965 , the state lowered the speed limit from 50 mph ( 80 km / h ) to 35 mph ( 56 km / h ) . Four years later , authorities completed the first set of safety retrofits , which included banking the curve and installing rumble strips and large signs . According to the Ohio Department of Transportation ( ODOT ) , the crash rate on the Innerbelt ( which includes Dead Man 's Curve ) is two to three times the regional average for urban freeways , despite the reduced speed limits on the roadway . The department has investigated ways of enhancing safety on the stretch , including a complete realignment of the roadway to reduce the degree of the curve . As of 2014 the proposed configuration of the curve as presented in the ODOT Innerbelt Plan is still planned to be built but not until the mid-2020s . According to a 2013 ODOT count , 64,720 vehicles travel on the curve every day . A sharp bend in U.S. Route 50 ( Columbia Parkway ) east of Cincinnati Sharp turn 5 on Interstate 75 just north of downtown Dayton Oregon ( edit ) On the Mount Hood Scenic Byway between Zigzag and Government Camp See also Terwilliger curves Pennsylvania ( edit ) The northern terminus of Interstate 476 in Clarks Summit is a 180 ° turn , with an advisory speed limit of 20 miles per hour ( 32 km / h ) , created in order to access a toll plaza before the interchange with Interstate 81 . On U.S. Route 22 in Easton , there are several dangerous sharp turns that go past a graveyard . ( This is most commonly known as `` Cemetery Curve '' for that reason . ) Streetlights were installed to help cut down on nighttime crashes ; the lightposts are themselves frequent victims of collisions . The Conshohocken Curve is a point on the Schuylkill Expressway notable as a point of slowness because of the 90 degree turn . The point lies at about mile marker 331 . South Carolina ( edit ) A dangerous curve on South Carolina Highway 9 about 10 miles west of Chester , South Carolina , is responsible for several fatal crashes . Deceased drivers ' families and Chester County officials have been lobbying the South Carolina Department of Transportation to improve road safety . Texas ( edit ) A sharp , sudden turn on U.S. Route 175 ( C.F. Hawn Freeway ) at the interchange with SH 310 southeast of downtown Dallas . After a fatal truck accident in 2008 , the state installed additional beacons and also flashing chevrons to further draw motorists ' attention to the hazard . As of 2010 , the department of highways is studying plans to eliminate this curve by extending the C.F. Hawn Freeway westward to Interstate 45 .

Feeling Good
Feeling Good - wikipedia Feeling Good Jump to : navigation , search For other uses , see Feeling Good ( disambiguation ) . `` Feeling Good '' Song Published 1964 Genre Show tune Songwriter ( s ) Anthony Newley Leslie Bricusse `` Feeling Good '' ( also known as `` Feelin ' Good '' ) is a song written by English composers Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse for the musical The Roar of the Greasepaint -- The Smell of the Crowd . It was first performed on stage in 1964 by Cy Grant on the UK tour and by Gilbert Price in 1965 with the original Broadway cast . Nina Simone recorded `` Feeling Good '' for her 1965 album I Put a Spell on You . The song has also been covered by Michael Bublé , John Coltrane , George Michael , and the rock band Muse .

The song was first performed in public by the Guyanese - British singer and actor Cy Grant on the opening night of The Roar of the Greasepaint -- The Smell of the Crowd at the Theatre Royal in Nottingham on 3 August 1964 ; Elaine Paige played the part of one of the `` Urchins '' in the chorus . The show , directed by Newley , toured British provincial theatres , and was then taken to the US by theatre producer David Merrick . It opened on 16 May 1965 at the Shubert Theatre in New York City , where the role of `` the Negro '' , who sings `` Feeling Good '' , was taken by Gilbert Price . In the show , Price 's character is asked to perform a game against the show 's hero `` Cocky '' ; but , as `` Cocky '' and his master `` Sir '' argue over the rules , `` the Negro '' reaches the centre of the stage and `` wins '' , singing the song at his moment of triumph . It was described as a `` booming song of emancipation '' , and a Billboard review said it was `` the kind of robust number that should have strong appeal . '' The original cast recording of the show , featuring Price 's version of the song , was released by RCA Victor in early 1965 , before the show reached New York . A version by Cy Grant with pianist Bill Le Sage -- much jazzier than the original stage version -- appeared on their 1965 album Cy & I. Anthony Newley 's own recording appeared on his 1965 album `` Who Can I Turn To '' and other songs from `` The Roar of the Greasepaint '' . One of the earliest recorded versions was a jazz treatment by saxophonist John Coltrane , which appeared on his album The John Coltrane Quartet Plays ... Recorded on 18 February 1965 , it also features Art Davis , Elvin Jones and McCoy Tyner . Versions were also released in 1965 by Nina Simone , Jean DuShon , Julie London , Chris Connor , Billy Eckstine , and Sammy Davis Jr ... Nina Simone 's recording ( edit ) `` Feeling Good '' Song by Nina Simone from the album I Put a Spell on You Released 1965 Recorded January 1965 Genre Show tune jazz blues Length 2 : 53 Label Philips Songwriter ( s ) Leslie Bricusse Anthony Newley Nina Simone 's version , arranged and produced by Hal Mooney , was recorded in New York in January 1965 and appeared on her album I Put a Spell on You . It was not released as a single at the time . In 1994 , Simone 's recording was used in a British TV commercial for Volkswagen , and became popular . Released as a single , it reached no . 40 on the UK Singles Chart in July 1994 . Simone 's version was remixed by Joe Claussell in 2002 for the first volume of the Verve Remixed series . The vocal track by Nina Simone and the music of `` Feeling Good '' have been sampled in numerous songs . In 1997 , it was sampled in `` Feeling Good '' by Huff & Herb and the following year in `` The Twister '' by Viper . Other uses include `` How I Feel '' by Wax Tailor , from the 2005 album Tales of the Forgotten Melodies ; `` New Day '' from the debut collaborative studio album Watch the Throne by American rappers Jay - Z and Kanye West in 2011 ; `` How I Feel '' by Flo Rida , from the 2013 album The Perfect 10 ; and , also in 2013 , in the beginning of Bassnectar 's Immersive Music Mixtape Side One . The track `` About You '' on Mary J. Blige 's 2005 album The Breakthrough features an unusual take on the song . The bulk of the recording consists of new lyrics , composed by Mary J. Blige , will.i.am and Keith Harris ; however , the chorus samples several lines from `` Feeling Good '' as performed by Nina Simone . Nina 's original vocals are distorted so much that her voice is almost unrecognisable . For this reason , Simone receives a credit as a featured artist , and Newley and Bricusse receive credit as co-writers . `` About You '' is produced by will.i.am . The original instrumental track to Nina Simone 's `` Feeling Good '' was also used in Avicii 's song of the same name , used by Volvo . Simone 's recording was used in the film Point of No Return , and it appears on soundtracks for the movies Repo Men ( 2010 ) , Last Holiday ( 2006 ) , and the TV soundtrack Six Feet Under , Vol. 2 : Everything Ends . The song was used in `` Chapter 6 '' , a first - season episode of the television series Legion . Billy Paul 's recording ( edit ) Although influenced by Simone , Billy Paul made an equally powerful and original recording in 1968 . This recording was before Paul 's fame and was not commercially successful . Nonetheless , it continues to be an underground critical success .

In September 2010 , NME readers voted it the greatest cover song of all time over `` Twist and Shout '' by The Beatles and `` Hurt '' by Johnny Cash 's A BBC poll in 2014 placed it ninth . The song appeared in the movie Seven Pounds ( 2008 ) , one episode of the TV series Queer as Folk , and during the end credits of an episode of the TV series Luther . It was used by Nestlé without the band 's permission , so Nestlé replaced it with the Nina Simone version and paid Muse settlement money , which the band donated to Oxfam . Virgin Atlantic used the Muse version for a global television commercial which debuted in October 2010 . The ad featured the song accompanying surreal vignettes of Virgin Atlantic cabin crew members . This sequence included imagery of flying people , a nod to the artwork of Muse 's album Absolution . Muse 's version reached No. 137 on the singles chart in France and No. 24 on the singles chart in the UK .

It charted at number 23 on the Billboard Smooth Jazz Songs . Reception ( edit ) The Pussycat Dolls ' version of `` Feeling Good '' received mostly negative reviews from critics . Nick Butler of Sputnikmusic criticised all four of the covers featured on the album . He singled out `` Feeling Good '' , writing that the song 's inclusion on the album serves as `` a pretty pointless vocal workout for Nicole . '' He added that `` None of them stand up to other covers of the same tracks , let alone the originals . '' John Murphy from musicOMH gave a negative review writing , `` All the emotion and melodrama of the original is ripped out of the heart of the song and we 're left with a pointless , faux - jazz version . They may as well have strutted over to ( Nina ) Simone 's grave and performed a stiletto clad dance upon it . '' Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine commented that the `` rendition of ' Feelin ' Good ' ( ... ) is misguided at best . '' However , in contrast , Spence D. of IGN wrote that `` Feeling Good '' `` comes too late in the game to really save the album from spiraling into a melange of innocuous pop - cum - R&B studio crafted fluff . '' Spence D. praised the song for returning to the `` retro vibe with wondrous results . '' On the Billboard Jazz Songs chart , the song peaked at number 23 , becoming The Pussycat Dolls ' only song to appear on that chart . Live performances ( edit ) The song is included on their 2006 Live from London as the fourth track of the DVD . The song is performed solely by Scherzinger . The song was also included on their first headlining tour , PCD World Tour . While delivering an a cappella version of the songs Scherzinger wears a `` virginal hoodie - cum - headscarf . '' Helen Pidd of The Guardian while reviewing their show in Manchester commented that `` she sure can sing . '' . It was additionally included the 2006 DVD Live from London as the fourth track . Lauryn Hill 's cover ( edit ) Lauryn Hill covered `` Feeling Good '' as a part of an album of covers in tribute to Nina Simone , which features various Black artists , entitled `` Nina Revisited : A Tribute to Nina Simone '' . With Hill being considered one of the `` second generation of contemporary soul stirrers '' , she describes Simone 's music as a music she `` fed on '' and states that `` ( Simone 's ) example is clearly a form of sustenance to a generation needing to find theirs '' , describing the great influence Simone has had on Black artists as the food that continues to give to their music . The Netflix film that featured the album , entitled `` What Happened , Miss Simone ? '' received critiques for its depiction of Nina Simone , with it failing to give Simone the credit as `` one of America 's greatest geniuses '' being able to `` ( survive ) America and ( create ) such searingly beautiful music '' . With the film blaming Simone 's `` descent '' in the music industry on the idea that she `` disappears in the Civil Rights Movement '' , there is a lack of clear understanding on the significance that Simone 's music posed for the Black community during this time . The amount of times that `` Feeling Good '' has been sampled alludes to the significance that Simone 's music had before , during , and after her involvement in the Civil Rights movement , displaying how the `` assimilation of radical new material is the core practice around which a deeply conservative tradition has been built '' , allowing for new artists to reassess how traditional styles of music can be applied to the experiences of today . Lauryn Hill 's reinvention of the classic `` Feeling Good '' reminds us of the genius of the original , showing how a `` sensitive soul felt and conveyed in music , the trauma of the Black experience '' .

who is the original singer of feeling good
[ "Although Bricusse and Newley shared songwriting credits, the words of the song are usually attributed to Bricusse, with the music by Newley.[2] The song was first performed in public by the Guyanese-British singer and actor Cy Grant on the opening night of The Roar of the Greasepaint – The Smell of the Crowd at the Theatre Royal in Nottingham on 3 August 1964; Elaine Paige played the part of one of the \"Urchins\" in the chorus. The show, directed by Newley, toured British provincial theatres, and was then taken to the US by theatre producer David Merrick. It opened on 16 May 1965 at the Shubert Theatre in New York City, where the role of \"the Negro\", who sings \"Feeling Good\", was taken by Gilbert Price.[3]" ]

The back design is orange . Federal Reserve history ( edit ) 1914 $20 Federal Reserve Note . 1928 $20 small - size Federal Reserve Note . Series 1929 $20 National Currency note issued by the Cleveland Federal Reserve Bank . Series 1995 $20 Federal Reserve Note . Series 1996 $20 Federal Reserve Note . The security strip in a twenty - dollar bill glows green under a blacklight . Andrew Jackson first appeared on the $20 bill in 1928 . Although 1928 coincides with the 100th anniversary of Jackson 's election as president , it is not clear why the portrait on the bill was switched from Grover Cleveland to Jackson . ( Cleveland 's portrait was moved to the new $1000 bill the same year ) . According to the U.S. Treasury , `` Treasury Department records do not reveal the reason that portraits of these particular statesmen were chosen in preference to those of other persons of equal importance and prominence . '' The placement of Jackson on the $20 bill may be a historical irony ; as president , he vehemently opposed both the National Bank and paper money and made the goal of his administration the destruction of the National Bank . In his farewell address to the nation , he cautioned the public about paper money . 1914 : Began as a large - sized note , a portrait of Grover Cleveland on the face , and , on the back , a steam locomotive and an automobile approaching from the left , and a steamship approaching from the right . 1918 : A federal reserve bank note with Grover Cleveland on the front , and a back design similar to the 1914 Federal Reserve Note . 1928 : Switched to a small - sized note with a portrait of Andrew Jackson on the face and the south view of the White House on the reverse . The banknote is redeemable in gold or silver ( at the bearer 's discretion ) at any Federal Reserve Bank . 1933 : With the U.S. having abandoned the gold standard , the bill is no longer redeemable in gold , but rather in `` lawful money '' , meaning silver . 1942 : A special emergency series , with brown serial numbers and `` HAWAII '' overprinted on both the front and the back , is issued . These notes are designed to circulate on the islands , and be deemed invalid in the event of a Japanese invasion . 1948 : The White House picture was updated to reflect renovations to the building itself , including the addition of the Truman Balcony , as well as the passage of time . Most notably , the trees are larger . 1950 : Design elements like the serial numbers are reduced in size and moved around subtly , presumably for aesthetic reasons . 1963 : `` Will Pay To The Bearer On Demand '' is removed from the front of the bill below the portrait , and the legal tender designation is shortened to `` This note is legal tender for all debts , public and private '' ( eliminating `` and is redeemable in lawful money at the United States Treasury , or at any Federal Reserve Bank . '' ) Also , `` In God We Trust '' is added above the White House on the reverse . These two acts ( one taking U.S. currency off silver backing , and the other authorizing the national motto ) are coincidental , even if their combined result is implemented in one redesign . Also , several design elements are rearranged , less perceptibly than the change in 1950 , mostly to make room for the slightly rearranged obligations . 1969 : The new treasury seal appears on all denominations , including the $20 . 1977 : A new type of serial - number press results in a slightly different font . The old presses are gradually retired , and old - style serial numbers appear as late as 1981 for this denomination . 1992 : Anti-counterfeiting features are added : microprinting around the portrait , and a plastic strip embedded in the paper . Even though the bills read Series 1990 , the first bills were printed in April 1992 . September 24 , 1998 : Received a completely new appearance to further deter counterfeiting ; the picture of the White House was changed to the north side view . A larger , off - center portrait of Jackson was used on front , and several anti-counterfeiting features were added , including color - shifting ink , microprinting , and a watermark . The plastic strip now reads `` USA 20 '' and glows green under a black light . The bills were first printed in June 1998 . October 9 , 2003 : The current series of 20 dollar bills is released with light background shading in green and yellow , and no oval around Andrew Jackson 's portrait ( background images of eagles , etc. were also added to the front ) ; the back is the same view of the White House , but without the oval around it . Ninety faint `` 20 '' s are scattered on the back in yellow as a `` EURion constellation '' to prevent photocopying . The first issue 's series date is 2004 with Marin - Snow signatures . The bills were first printed in April 2003 . Proposal for a woman 's portrait ( edit ) In a campaign called `` Women on 20s '' , selected voters were asked to choose three of 15 female candidates to have a portrait on the $20 bill . The goal was to have a woman on the $20 bill by 2020 , the centennial of the 19th Amendment which gave women the right to vote . Among the candidates on the petition were Harriet Tubman , Eleanor Roosevelt , Rosa Parks , and Wilma Mankiller , the first female chief of the Cherokee Nation . On May 12 , 2015 , Tubman was announced as the winning candidate of that `` grassroots '' poll with more than 600,000 people surveyed and more than 118,000 choosing Tubman , followed by Roosevelt , Parks and Mankiller . On June 17 , 2015 , then - Treasury Secretary Jack Lew announced that a woman 's portrait would be featured on a redesigned $10 bill by 2020 , replacing Alexander Hamilton . However , that decision was reversed , at least in part due to Hamilton 's surging popularity following the hit Broadway musical Hamilton . On April 20 , 2016 , Lew officially announced that Alexander Hamilton would remain on the $10 bill , while Andrew Jackson would be replaced by Tubman on the front of the $20 bill , with Jackson appearing on the reverse . Lew simultaneously announced that the five - and ten - dollar bills would also be redesigned in the coming years and put into production in the next decade . Steven Mnuchin , the current U.S. Treasury Secretary , said that he will not commit to putting Tubman on the twenty - dollar bill , explaining `` People have been on the bills for a long period of time . This is something we 'll consider ; right now we have a lot more important issues to focus on .

The best - of - seven playoff was contested between the Western Conference champion Los Angeles Lakers ( who were also the defending Western Conference champions ) , and the Eastern Conference champion Orlando Magic . The Lakers defeated the Magic , four games to one , to win the franchise 's 15th NBA championship . The 63rd edition of the championship series was played between June 4 and June 14 and was broadcast on U.S. television on ABC . The Lakers earned their berth into the playoffs by winning the Pacific Division . The Magic won the Southeast Division to earn their berth . The Lakers reached the NBA Finals by defeating the Utah Jazz in the best - of - seven Western Conference First Round , the Houston Rockets in the best - of - seven Western Conference Semifinals , and the Denver Nuggets in the best - of - seven Western Conference Finals . The Magic reached the NBA Finals by defeating the Philadelphia 76ers in the best - of - seven Eastern Conference First Round , the defending champion Boston Celtics in the best - of - seven Eastern Conference Semifinals , and the league best Cleveland Cavaliers in the best - of - seven Eastern Conference Finals . The NBA Finals were staged under a 2 -- 3 -- 2 rotation , with the Lakers holding home - court advantage as they had a better regular season record than the Magic . Kobe Bryant led the team to a Game 1 win with 40 points , eight rebounds , and eight assists . Game 2 was a high - scoring affair that the Lakers ultimately won on both strong defensive play and last minute heroics by Bryant , Derek Fisher , and Pau Gasol during the overtime . A record - breaking performance from the Magic 's 65 % team shooting ensured the team a Game 3 win and the first Finals victory in franchise history . Although they trailed the Magic as much as 12 at halftime , the Lakers won Game 4 in overtime on the back of Trevor Ariza 's 13 points in the second half and Fisher 's pair of three - point clutch shots . Dominant offensive play coupled with a spectacular defense by both starters and reserves from the second quarter until the buzzer helped the Lakers to win Game 5 and secure the series . Bryant was named Most Valuable Player of the Finals . Rodd Houston narrated the Lakers ' 2009 season through the Lakers 2009 championship home video on NBA Entertainment . As with previous championship videos , two versions exist : the DVD version recaps the entire 2009 Lakers ' season , from the regular season and playoffs to the finals ; the TV version recaps only the Lakers ' playoff run . This series was nicknamed the `` Disney Series '' for its connections to The Walt Disney Company . Disney owns Finals broadcaster ABC ; Walt Disney World is located twenty miles from Orlando in nearby Lake Buena Vista , and Disneyland is located thirty miles from Los Angeles in nearby Anaheim .

They played three physical series versus the Utah Jazz , Houston Rockets , and Denver Nuggets , winning in 5 , 7 , and 6 games , respectively . Going into the Finals , the Lakers finished off the Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals with two good performances in games 5 and 6 , making analysts pick them as the favorites in the Finals . It marked a record - extending sixth Finals appearance of the decade and a record - extending 30th Finals appearance overall , the most for any NBA team . Orlando Magic ( edit ) Main article : 2008 -- 09 Orlando Magic season The Magic were overlooked by many to even reach the Eastern Conference Finals , as they played in the shadows of the # 1 - seeded Cleveland Cavaliers , led by regular - season MVP LeBron James , and defending champion # 2 - seed Boston Celtics . However , after dispatching the Philadelphia 76ers in six games , the Magic stunned the Celtics by winning Game 7 in Boston . The Celtics were previously 32 -- 0 when leading a series 3 -- 2 , and 17 -- 3 previously in Game 7s at home . Orlando assistant coach Patrick Ewing had publicly `` guaranteed '' that Orlando would win game 7 . In the next round , Orlando was given little chance by many to defeat the top - seeded Cleveland Cavaliers , but a combination of three - point shooting and the inside presence of Dwight Howard created a matchup nightmare for Cleveland on defense , and Orlando ultimately won in six games . In Game 6 , Howard 's stellar performance with 40 points and 14 rebounds helped the franchise earn its second Finals appearance ( they were swept by the Houston Rockets in the 1995 Finals during Shaquille O'Neal and Penny Hardaway era ) . Series preview ( edit ) Although the Magic won both regular - season matchups with the Lakers , Los Angeles was able to take 4 out of 5 games in this series . Both regular - season games and three of the NBA Finals games were close contests , decided by six points or fewer or in overtime . The Lakers won Game 2 on June 7 101 - 96 in overtime . Then they won Game 4 on June 11 in overtime as well . Tyronn Lue , a backup point guard with Orlando , appeared with the Lakers during their initial championship run in the early 2000s and faced his former team in the finals . Lue and another backup point guard , Anthony Johnson were the only players on Orlando 's roster with NBA finals experience . However , neither saw playing time during the series , as Lue was inactive with an injury and Johnson lost his minutes to teammate Jameer Nelson , who returned from a shoulder injury in time for the Finals . Trevor Ariza , the Lakers starting small forward , faced the team who traded him to the Lakers in 2007 .

Down 33 -- 28 with 8 : 38 left in the 2nd quarter , the Lakers went on a 10 -- 0 run and never looked back . The Lakers ended the 3rd quarter on a 25 -- 10 run , led by the fierce play from Kobe Bryant , who finished with 40 points , 8 rebounds , and 8 assists , joining the likes of Shaquille O'Neal , Michael Jordan , and Jerry West to put up those numbers in a single NBA Finals game . The 25 - point margin of victory was the 6th - largest in NBA Finals Game 1 history . Due to stellar defense by the Lakers , Dwight Howard was a dismal 1 -- 6 from the field , his fewest made field goals in his playoff career , and finished with 12 points , 10 of which came from free throws . The Magic shot only 29.9 % ( 23 -- 77 ) from the field , the second lowest percentage in the NBA Finals .

The Lakers picked up the pace in the 2nd quarter , but Rashard Lewis kept the Magic in the game , scoring 18 of the team 's 20 points in the quarter , including the final 16 , on his way to a playoff career - high and Finals franchise - high 34 points for the game . The Magic outscored the Lakers in the 3rd quarter to take a 2 - point lead in the 4th . With the game tied at 84 , Rashard Lewis hit a jumper with 1 : 32 remaining to give the Magic a 2 - point lead . Kobe Bryant responded with a jumper of his own to tie the game . With 47 seconds left , Hedo Türkoğlu hit a jumper that was originally called a 3 - pointer . However , replay showed that his foot was on the line , giving the Magic a 2 - point lead . With 33 seconds remaining , Dwight Howard was able to deflect , but not steal , a Derek Fisher pass , and Pau Gasol was able to again tie the game at 88 with a layup . On the ensuing Magic possession , the Lakers played great defense and forced Courtney Lee to miss an awkward layup shot with 10.5 seconds left . With a chance to take a 2 -- 0 series lead , Kobe Bryant was blocked on a jumper by Türkoğlu , who gained control of the ball and called time - out with 0.6 seconds left . After another timeout , Türkoğlu threw a half - court lob to Courtney Lee , who had come free after a screen on his defender . However , Lee was traveling too fast and launched his layup from almost behind the backboard , causing it to miss . With the Lakers up 1 in overtime with 1 : 55 left , Derek Fisher stole a J.J. Redick pass and was fouled on the ensuing fastbreak , making both free throws . After the Magic were unable to convert , Kobe Bryant made a pivotal assist to Pau Gasol for a layup - and - one , giving the Lakers a 6 - point lead and the eventual victory .

However , despite the incredible shooting percentage , the Lakers managed to stay close for much of the game . The game was only sealed for the Magic on a Mikael Pietrus steal from Kobe Bryant in the waning minute of the 4th quarter . This win marked the first Finals win in Magic franchise history , losing their first 6 Finals games ( being swept in their first appearance and losing Games 1 and 2 ) Game 4 ( edit ) ABC June 11 9 : 00 p.m. Recap Video highlights on YouTube Los Angeles Lakers 99 , Orlando Magic 91 ( OT ) Scoring by quarter : 20 -- 24 , 17 -- 25 , 30 -- 14 , 20 -- 24 , Overtime : 12 -- 4 Pts : Kobe Bryant 32 Rebs : Pau Gasol 10 Asts : Kobe Bryant 8 Pts : Hedo Türkoğlu 25 Rebs : Dwight Howard 21 Asts : Rashard Lewis 4 L.A. Lakers leads series , 3 -- 1 Amway Arena , Orlando , Florida Attendance : 17,461 Referees : No. 24 Mike Callahan No. 48 Scott Foster No. 15 Bennett Salvatore Coming off their franchise 's first NBA Finals game victory , the Magic quickly took the lead in the first quarter . However , Kobe Bryant kept the Lakers in the game , scoring 13 of the team 's 20 first - quarter points . Dwight Howard played a great first quarter , with 11 rebounds and 4 blocks in the opening frame . In addition , he drew many fouls , putting Andrew Bynum , Pau Gasol , and Lamar Odom in foul trouble and forcing Lakers coach Phil Jackson to use Josh Powell and D.J. Mbenga early in the game . The Magic were able to increase the lead to 12 at halftime . The Lakers came out of the locker room aggressive and outscored the Magic 30 -- 14 in the 3rd quarter , led by Trevor Ariza , who scored 13 points in the quarter , including two 3 - pointers . Down by 6 in the opening minutes of the 4th quarter , the Magic were able to come back to take a 76 -- 75 lead halfway through the quarter , but unable to increase the lead due to poor free - throw shooting , specifically from Hedo Türkoğlu and Dwight Howard . With 3 minutes left in the 4th quarter and the game tied at 79 , Howard converted a 3 - point play to give the Magic an 82 -- 79 lead . On the next Laker possession , the Magic played good defense , but Trevor Ariza was able to hit a 3 - pointer as the shot clock expired to tie the game at 82 . After Hedo Türkoğlu hit a stepback 3 - point shot , Howard blocked Gasol 's jumper , giving him a single - game NBA Finals record with 9 blocked shots . On the bench to witness it was a previous record holder , his assistant coach Patrick Ewing , who had 8 in Game 5 of the 1994 NBA Finals while with the New York Knicks . Türkoğlu made another jumper with 1 : 34 remaining to give the Magic a 5 - point lead . Down 87 -- 82 with 31 seconds left , Kobe Bryant spun through the lane and passed to Gasol for a dunk to cut the lead to 3 . On the next Magic possession , Howard was fouled by Bryant with 11 seconds remaining . Needing just one free - throw to make the game a 2 - possession affair , Howard missed both shots . Out of the timeout , the Lakers elected to take the ball out at three - quarters court instead of half - court in order to space out the floor . The Magic double - teamed Bryant in the backcourt , allowing him to pass the ball up to Ariza , who in turned passed it to Derek Fisher on the right wing . Having missed his first five 3 - point shots of the game , Fisher spotted up and hit a pivotal three - pointer to tie the game at 87 with 4.6 seconds left . On the final possession of regulation , Mickaël Piétrus missed a 20 - footer . The overtime session began with a 3 - pointer by Rashard Lewis and two contested jumpers by Kobe Bryant to give the Lakers a 91 -- 90 lead . With 1 : 27 left in OT , Howard split a pair of free throws to tie the game at 91 . On the next possession , the Lakers would miss a layup and a jumper , but regained possession on an offensive rebound by Ariza and a loose - ball foul on Jameer Nelson . With 31 seconds left , Kobe Bryant passed out of a double - team . Fisher then hit a 3 - pointer to give the Lakers a 94 -- 91 lead . Out of a timeout , Türkoğlu rushed a 3 - point shot and missed . Rashard Lewis backtapped the rebound to center - court , but the ball went to Pau Gasol , who ran in unimpeded for a dunk , giving the Lakers the lead for good . In the next possession , the Magic missed another shot , bouncing the ball to Fisher , who passed it to Ariza , then to Gasol for a dunk , but Pietrus slammed both arms on his back , resulting in Gasol getting a technical foul and Pietrus a flagrant 1 foul . After coming so close , the Magic lost a chance to tie the series , a fact not lost upon the arena staff in Orlando . Upon the game 's finish , Oasis 's `` Do n't Look Back in Anger '' was played throughout Amway Arena .

The series was the third straight championship that the Lakers clinched on the road ( after 2001 and 2002 ) ; the last time the Lakers clinched the championship at home was in 2000 . With their team 's win , Pau Gasol became the first Spaniard , and D.J. Mbenga the first Belgian Congolese player , to win an NBA championship . Bill and Luke Walton became the third father and son pair to each win a championship as a player ; the other father -- son combinations are Matt Guokas , Sr. ( 1947 ) with Matt Jr. ( 1967 ) and Rick Barry ( 1975 ) with son Brent ( 2005 and 2007 ) . Kobe Bryant averaged 32.4 points and 7.4 assists in this series , which was the best combination of those categories since Jerry West averaged 37.9 points and 7.4 assists ( 1969 ) . For the Magic , Game 3 marked their first Finals game victory ; the franchise lost their first six Finals games after being swept in their first Finals appearance in 1995 . In Game 3 , the Magic also set the Finals record for the best field goal percentage with 63 percent , and the Finals record for the best field goal percentage in the first half with 75 percent . This was the first NBA Finals series since 1984 to have two games go into overtime ( Games 2 and 4 ) ; both were won by the Lakers . Dwight Howard set an NBA Finals single - game record with 9 blocked shots in Game 4 . The previous record holders , all of whom had blocked eight shots in a Finals game , were : Bill Walton of the Portland Trail Blazers in Game 6 of the 1977 NBA Finals ; Hakeem Olajuwon of the Houston Rockets in Game 5 of the 1986 NBA Finals ; Howard 's assistant coach Patrick Ewing of the New York Knicks in Game 5 of the 1994 NBA Finals ; Shaquille O'Neal of the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 2 of the 2001 NBA Finals ; and Tim Duncan of the San Antonio Spurs in Game 6 of the 2003 NBA Finals . This is the seventh time in NBA Finals history that a team that lost the championship the previous season has won the Finals the very next year . It is the second time in Lakers history , after the 1984 and 1985 teams . This is also the first odd season since 2001 that the San Antonio Spurs did not win the NBA Finals ; they won in 2003 , 2005 and 2007 . This was the last Finals in which a trophy silhouette was painted in mid-court . The tradition began in 2005 and ended for the 2010 series . This was also the last NBA Finals to be played at Amway Arena ; the Magic moved to the Amway Center for the 2010 - 11 season . High Average Los Angeles Lakers Orlando Magic Player Total Player Avg .

The championship was the fourth of the decade for the Lakers , most among all teams in the four major professional sports leagues in North America . By virtue of their win this year and loss in the previous year , this marked tenth occurrence that the winners of the NBA Finals were losers in the preceding year 's Finals , previously the Detroit Pistons had lost and won the Finals in 1988 and 1989 respectively . The victory was noted by many as a personal success for Finals MVP Kobe Bryant , winning his first championship and succeeding in the playoffs without the presence of former Lakers center Shaquille O'Neal where some people had previously speculated that Bryant could not `` win one without Shaq '' . Head coach Phil Jackson captured his 10th NBA championship as a coach , surpassing Red Auerbach for most championships all - time by an NBA coach . Jackson also passed Auerbach and NHL coach Scotty Bowman for most championships all - time by a head coach in a major American sports league . Having achieved three Game 1 victories throughout the postseason ( first round vs. Utah , conference finals vs. Denver , and NBA Finals vs. Orlando ) , Phil Jackson - coached teams were now 44 - 0 in series where they win the first game , later improved to 48 - 0 by the time Jackson retired after the 2011 NBA Playoffs . The Lakers ' only offseason change was the acquisition of Ron Artest from the Houston Rockets , in an essential trade where they let Trevor Ariza sign with the Rockets . Again the Lakers won the top seed in the West , though winning just eight games less than the year before . They eliminated the Oklahoma City Thunder in six , the Utah Jazz in four , and the Phoenix Suns in six to return to the NBA Finals and renew their heated rivalry with the Celtics . In the Finals the Lakers won a hard - fought seven game series against the Celtics to retain the NBA title , becoming the first team to repeat as champions since the 2002 Lakers , in 2011 playoffs when seeking three - peat , they sweep to eventual champion Dallas Mavericks . Magic ( edit ) The Magic again won 59 games and the division title in the 2009 - 10 season , in which they let go of Hedo Türkoğlu to the Toronto Raptors and acquired Vince Carter from the New Jersey Nets . Dwight Howard won Defensive Player of the Year for the second straight year . In the playoffs the Magic swept the Charlotte Bobcats and the Atlanta Hawks , becoming the first team in NBA history to win their first eight playoff games by 20 or more points . However , the Magic would lose to the Boston Celtics in six games of the Eastern Conference Finals , marking the final games held at Amway Arena . The Magic moved to the Amway Center the next season , then proceeded to lose in the first round for two straight years to the Hawks and the Indiana Pacers , respectively . After the 2011 -- 12 season Stan Van Gundy was fired , and in a blockbuster offseason trade , Howard was traded to the Lakers , which he spent one season with the Lakers and later move to Houston Rockets . However , the team failed to reach NBA Finals due to the rise of the Golden State Warriors . Thus , Howard return back to the Eastern Conference teams after signing with Atlanta Hawks .

Bush ( CVN - 77 ) George Herbert Walker Bush ( born June 12 , 1924 ) is an American politician who served as the 41st President of the United States from 1989 to 1993 . Prior to assuming the presidency , Bush served as the 43rd Vice President of the United States from 1981 to 1989 . A member of the Republican Party , he had previously been a Congressman , Ambassador and Director of Central Intelligence . During his career in public service , he was known simply as George Bush ; since 2001 , he has often been referred to as `` George H.W. Bush '' , `` Bush 41 '' , or `` George Bush Senior '' in order to distinguish him from his eldest son , George W. Bush , the 43rd president of the United States . He is the nation 's oldest living president and vice president , as well as the longest - lived president in history . A member of the Bush family , he was born in Milton , Massachusetts to Prescott Bush and Dorothy Walker Bush . Following the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7 , 1941 , Bush postponed his university studies , enlisted in the U.S. Navy on his 18th birthday , and became the youngest aviator in the U.S. Navy at the time . He served until September 1945 , then attended Yale University . Graduating in 1948 , he moved his family to West Texas , where he entered the oil business and became a millionaire by the age of 40 in 1964 . Soon after founding his own oil company , Bush became involved in politics and won election to the House of Representatives from Texas ' 7th district in 1966 . In 1971 , President Richard Nixon appointed Bush as Ambassador to the United Nations , and in 1973 , Bush became the Chairman of the Republican National Committee . The following year , President Gerald Ford appointed Bush as the ambassador to China and later reassigned Bush to the position of Director of Central Intelligence . Bush ran for president in 1980 but was defeated in the Republican primary by Ronald Reagan . Reagan chose Bush as his running mate , and Bush became vice president after the Reagan -- Bush ticket won the 1980 election . During his eight - year tenure as vice president , Bush headed administration task forces on deregulation and fighting the War on Drugs . In 1988 , Bush ran a successful campaign to succeed Reagan as President , defeating Democratic opponent Michael Dukakis . Foreign policy drove the Bush presidency : military operations were conducted in Panama and the Persian Gulf ; the Berlin Wall fell in 1989 , and the Soviet Union dissolved two years later . Though the agreement was not ratified until after he left office , Bush also signed the North American Free Trade Agreement ( NAFTA ) , which created a trade bloc consisting of the United States , Canada , and Mexico . Domestically , Bush reneged on a 1988 campaign promise and , after a struggle with Congress , signed an increase in taxes that Congress had passed . In the wake of a weak recovery from an economic recession , along with continuing budget deficits and the diminution of foreign politics as a major issue in a post-Cold War political climate , he lost the 1992 presidential election to Democrat Bill Clinton . Bush left office in 1993 . His presidential library was dedicated in 1997 , and he has been active -- often alongside Bill Clinton -- in various humanitarian activities . With George W. Bush 's victory in the 2000 presidential election , Bush and his son became the second father -- son combination to serve as president , following John Adams and John Quincy Adams . Bush 's second son , Jeb Bush , served as the 43rd Governor of Florida from 1999 to 2007 .

Bush , c. 1925 George Herbert Walker Bush was born at 173 Adams Street in Milton , Massachusetts , on June 12 , 1924 , to Prescott Sheldon Bush and Dorothy ( Walker ) Bush . The Bush family moved from Milton to Greenwich , Connecticut , shortly after his birth . Growing up , he used the nickname `` Poppy '' . Bush began his formal education at the Greenwich Country Day School in Greenwich . Beginning in 1938 , he attended Phillips Academy in Andover , Massachusetts , where he held a number of leadership positions that included president of the senior class , secretary of the student council , president of the community fund - raising group , a member of the editorial board of the school newspaper , and captain of both the varsity baseball and soccer teams . World War II Shipmates of the submarine USS Finback rescue Bush The United States formally entered World War II in December 1941 , following Japan 's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii . Six months later , Bush enlisted into the U.S. Navy immediately after he graduated from Phillips Academy on his eighteenth birthday . He became a naval aviator , taking training for aircraft carrier operations aboard USS Sable . After completing the 10 - month course , he was commissioned as an ensign in the United States Naval Reserve at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi on June 9 , 1943 ( just three days before his 19th birthday ) , which made him the youngest naval aviator to that date . In September 1943 , he was assigned to Torpedo Squadron 51 ( VT - 51 ) as the photographic officer . The following year , his squadron was based in USS San Jacinto as a member of Air Group 51 , where his lanky physique earned him the nickname `` Skin '' . During this time , the task force was victorious in one of the largest air battles of World War II : the Battle of the Philippine Sea . After Bush 's promotion to lieutenant ( junior grade ) on August 1 , 1944 , San Jacinto commenced operations against the Japanese in the Bonin Islands . Bush piloted one of four Grumman TBM Avengers of VT - 51 that attacked the Japanese installations on Chichijima . His crew for the mission , which occurred on September 2 , 1944 , included Radioman Second Class John Delaney and Lt. ( jg ) William White . During their attack , the Avengers encountered intense anti-a fire ; Bush 's aircraft was hit by flak and his engine caught fire . Despite the fire in his aircraft , Bush completed his attack and released bombs over his target , scoring several damaging hits . With his engine ablaze , Bush flew several miles from the island , where he and one other crew member of the TBM bailed out ; the other man 's parachute did not open . Bush waited for four hours in an inflated raft , while several fighters circled protectively overhead , until he was rescued by the submarine USS Finback , on lifeguard duty . For the next month , he remained in Finback and participated in the rescue of other aviators . Several of those shot down during the attack were executed , and their livers were eaten by their captors . This experience shaped Bush profoundly , leading him to ask , `` Why had I been spared and what did God have for me ? '' Bush in his TBM aboard San Jacinto in 1944 In November 1944 , Bush returned to San Jacinto and participated in operations in the Philippines until his squadron was replaced and sent home to the United States . Through 1944 , he flew 58 combat missions for which he received the Distinguished Flying Cross , three Air Medals , and the Presidential Unit Citation awarded to San Jacinto . Bush was then reassigned to a training wing for torpedo bomber crews at Norfolk Navy Base , Virginia . His final assignment was to a new torpedo squadron , VT - 153 , based at Naval Air Station Grosse Ile , Michigan . Bush was honorably discharged from the U.S. Navy in September 1945 , one month after the surrender of Japan . Marriage and College years When Bush was still in the Navy , he married Barbara Pierce ( 1925 -- 2018 ) in Rye , New York on January 6 , 1945 . The marriage produced six children : George W. ( b . 1946 ) , Robin ( 1949 -- 1953 ) , Jeb ( b . 1953 ) , Neil ( b . 1955 ) , Marvin ( b . 1956 ) , and Doro ( b . 1959 ) . At the time of his wife 's death on April 17 , 2018 , George H.W. had been married to Barbara for 73 years ; theirs was the longest presidential marriage in American history . They had become the longest - married presidential couple in January 1999 when their marriage surpassed the 54 year ( 1764 -- 1818 ) marriage of John and Abigail Adams . After Bush received his military discharge , he enrolled at Yale University . He earned an undergraduate degree in economics on an accelerated program that enabled him to graduate in two and a half years , rather than the usual four . He was a member of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity and was elected its president . He also captained the Yale baseball team and played in the first two College World Series as a left - handed first baseman . Bush was the team captain during his senior year in 1948 , and he met Babe Ruth before a game ; the event took place only weeks before Ruth 's death . Like his father , he was also a member of the Yale cheerleading squad . Late in his junior year , he was initiated into the Skull and Bones secret society ; his father Prescott Bush had been initiated into the same society in 1917 . He was elected to Phi Beta Kappa when he graduated from Yale in 1948 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics . Faith Bush 's Christian faith was shaped by his upbringing in the Episcopal Church , though by the end of his life his apparent religious beliefs have been considered more in line with Evangelical Christian doctrine and practices . Several key moments in Bush 's life led to a deepening of his faith in Jesus Christ , including his narrow escape from Japanese forces in 1944 and the tragic death of his three - year - old child , Robin , in 1953 . This strong faith would inspire many themes that later would become apparent in his public life , such as his Thousand Points of Light speech , his support for prayer in schools , and his strong support of the pro-life movement . After his wife 's death in April 2018 , Bush released a statement through his spokesman , saying in part , `` We have faith she is in heaven , and we know life will go on - as she would have it . So cross the Bushes off your worry list . '' Business career After graduating from Yale , Bush moved his young family to West Texas . His father 's business connections proved useful as he ventured into the oil business , starting as an oil field equipment salesman for Dresser Industries , a subsidiary of Brown Brothers Harriman ( where Prescott Bush had served on the board of directors for 22 years ) . While working for Dresser , Bush lived in various places with his family : Odessa , Texas ; Ventura , Bakersfield and Compton , California ; and Midland , Texas . ( According to eldest son George W. Bush , then age two , the family lived in one of the few duplexes in Odessa with an indoor bathroom , which they `` shared with a couple of hookers '' . ) Bush started the Bush - Overbey Oil Development company in 1951 and in 1953 co-founded the Zapata Petroleum Corporation , an oil company that drilled in the Permian Basin in Texas . In 1954 he was named president of the Zapata Offshore Company , a subsidiary which specialized in offshore drilling . In 1959 ( shortly after the subsidiary became independent ) , Bush moved the company and his family from Midland to Houston . He continued serving as president of the company until 1964 , and later chairman until 1966 , when he won election to the U.S. House of Representatives . By that time , Bush had become a millionaire . Early political career ( 1963 -- 1980 ) Congressional years ( 1967 -- 1971 ) Bush in 1969 Bush 's career in politics began in 1963 when he was elected chairman of the Harris County , Texas Republican Party . The following year , he ran against incumbent Democrat Ralph W. Yarborough in the U.S. Senate race . He presented himself as a young Conservative Republican in contrast to the aging liberal Democrat Yarborough . He campaigned against civil rights legislation pending before Congress , stating that he believed it gave too much power to the federal government . Bush lost the election 56 % to 44 % , though he did outpoll Republican presidential nominee Barry Goldwater , who lost by an overwhelming margin to Lyndon B. Johnson . Bush and the Harris County Republicans played a role in the development of the new Republican Party of the late 20th century . First , Bush worked to absorb the John Birch Society members , who were trying to take over the Republican Party . Second , during and after the civil rights movement , Democrats in the South who were committed to segregation left their party , and although the `` country club Republicans '' had differing ideological beliefs , they found common ground in hoping to expel the Democrats from power . President Dwight D. Eisenhower with Bush In 1966 , Bush was elected to a seat in the United States House of Representatives from the 7th District of Texas ; he won 57 percent of the ballots cast in a race against Democrat Frank Briscoe , who was the district attorney of Harris County . Bush was the first Republican to represent Houston in the U.S. House . Bush 's representative district included Tanglewood , the Houston neighborhood that was his residence ; his family had moved into Tanglewood in the 1960s . His voting record in the House was generally conservative : Bush voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1968 , although it was generally unpopular in his district . He supported the Nixon administration 's Vietnam policies , but broke with Republicans on the issue of birth control , which he supported . Despite being a first - term congressman , Bush was appointed to the powerful House Ways and Means Committee , where he voted to abolish the military draft . He was elected to a second term in 1968 . In 1970 , Nixon convinced Bush to relinquish his House seat in order to run for the Senate against Ralph Yarborough , who was a fierce Nixon critic . In the Republican primary , Bush easily defeated conservative Robert J. Morris by a margin of 87.6 % to 12.4 % . Nixon came to Longview , Texas to campaign for Bush and gubernatorial candidate Paul Eggers , a Dallas lawyer who was a close friend of U.S. Senator John G. Tower . Former Congressman Lloyd Bentsen , a more moderate Democrat and native of Mission in south Texas , defeated Yarborough in the Democratic primary . Yarborough endorsed Bentsen , who defeated Bush , 53.4 to 46.6 % . As Bush 's congressional career waned , he moved out of Houston and sold his first Tanglewood house , but for periods of time continued to reside in Tanglewood . Ambassador to the United Nations ( 1971 -- 1973 ) Bush as ambassador to the United Nations , 1971 Following his 1970 loss , Bush was well known as a prominent Republican businessman from the `` Sun Belt '' , a group of states in the Southern part of the country . Nixon noticed and appreciated the sacrifice Bush had made of his Congressional position , so he appointed him Ambassador to the United Nations . He was confirmed unanimously by the Senate , and served for two years , beginning in 1971 . Chairman of the Republican National Committee ( 1973 -- 1974 ) Amidst the Watergate scandal , Nixon asked Bush to become chairman of the Republican National Committee in 1973 . Bush accepted , and held this position when the popularity of both Nixon and the Republican Party plummeted . He defended Nixon steadfastly , but later as Nixon 's complicity became clear , Bush focused more on defending the Republican Party , while still maintaining loyalty to Nixon . As chairman , Bush formally requested that Nixon eventually resign for the good of the Republican party . Nixon did this on August 9 , 1974 ; Bush noted in his diary that `` There was an aura of sadness , like somebody died ... The ( resignation ) speech was vintage Nixon -- a kick or two at the press -- enormous strains . One could n't help but look at the family and the whole thing and think of his accomplishments and then think of the shame ... ( President Gerald Ford 's swearing - in offered ) indeed a new spirit , a new lift . '' Envoy to China ( 1974 -- 1975 ) Bush as United States Liaison to China , circa 1975 President Gerald Ford appointed Bush to be Chief of the U.S. Liaison Office in the People 's Republic of China . Since the United States at the time maintained official relations with the Republic of China on Taiwan and not the People 's Republic of China , the Liaison Office did not have the official status of an embassy and Bush did not formally hold the position of `` ambassador '' , though he unofficially acted as one . The 14 months that he spent in China were largely seen as beneficial for U.S. - China relations . After Ford assumed the presidency , Bush was under serious consideration for being nominated as vice president . Ford eventually narrowed his list to Nelson Rockefeller and Bush . White House Chief of Staff Donald Rumsfeld reportedly preferred Rockefeller over Bush . Rockefeller was finally named and confirmed . Bush was again passed over for the vice presidency by Ford when the president chose Bush 's future presidential rival , Senator Bob Dole , to replace Rockefeller on the 1976 presidential ticket . Director of Central Intelligence ( 1976 -- 1977 ) Bush , as CIA Director , listens at a meeting following the assassinations in Beirut of Francis E. Meloy Jr. and Robert O. Waring , 1976 . In 1976 Ford brought Bush back to Washington to become Director of Central Intelligence ( DCI ) , replacing William Colby . He served in this role for 357 days , from January 30 , 1976 , to January 20 , 1977 . The CIA had been rocked by a series of revelations , including those based on investigations by the Church Committee regarding illegal and unauthorized activities by the CIA , and Bush was credited with helping to restore the agency 's morale . In his capacity as DCI , Bush gave national security briefings to Jimmy Carter both as a presidential candidate and as president - elect , and discussed the possibility of remaining in that position in a Carter administration , but did not do so . He was succeeded by Deputy Director of Central Intelligence E. Henry Knoche , who served as acting Director of Central Intelligence until Stansfield Turner was confirmed . Other positions ( 1977 -- 1981 ) After Democrat Jimmy Carter took power in 1977 , Bush became chairman on the Executive Committee of the First International Bank in Houston . He later spent a year as a part - time professor of Administrative Science at Rice University 's Jones School of Business beginning in 1978 , the year it opened ; Bush said of his time there , `` I loved my brief time in the world of academia . '' Between 1977 and 1979 , he was a director of the Council on Foreign Relations foreign policy organization . 1980 presidential campaign See also : United States presidential election , 1980 1980 campaign logo Bush had decided in the late 1970s that he was going to run for president in 1980 ; in 1979 , he attended 850 political events ( `` cattle calls '' ) and traveled more than 250,000 miles ( 400,000 km ) to campaign for the nation 's highest office . In the contest for the Republican Party nomination , Bush stressed his wide range of government experience , while competing against rivals Senator Howard Baker of Tennessee , Senator Bob Dole of Kansas , Congressman John Anderson of Illinois ( who would later run as an independent ) , Congressman Phil Crane , also of Illinois , former Governor John Connally of Texas , former Minnesota Governor Harold Stassen , and the front - runner Ronald Reagan , former actor , and Governor of California . Ronald Reagan , moderator John Breen , and Bush participate in the Nashua , New Hampshire Presidential Debate , 1980 At the outset of the 1980 primary race , Bush focused heavily on winning the January 21 Iowa caucuses ; five months earlier he had won the Iowa Straw Poll . Reagan , however , far ahead in the polls , campaigned little . Bush represented the centrist wing in the GOP , whereas Reagan represented conservatives . Bush famously labeled Reagan 's supply side - influenced plans for massive tax cuts `` voodoo economics '' . His strategy proved useful , to some degree , as he won in Iowa with 31.5 % to Reagan 's 29.4 % . After the win , Bush stated that his campaign was full of momentum , or `` the Big Mo '' . As a result of the loss , Reagan replaced his campaign manager , reorganized his staff , and concentrated on the New Hampshire primary . The two men agreed to a debate in the state , organized by the Nashua Telegraph , but paid for by the Reagan campaign . Reagan invited the other four candidates as well , but Bush refused to debate them , and eventually they left . The debate proved to be a pivotal moment in the campaign ; when the moderator , John Breen , ordered Reagan 's microphone turned off , his angry response , `` I am paying for this microphone , '' struck a chord with the public . Bush ended up losing New Hampshire 's primary with 23 % to Reagan 's 50 % . Bush lost most of the remaining primaries as well , and formally dropped out of the race in May of that year . With his political future in doubt , Bush sold his house in Houston and bought his grandfather 's estate in Kennebunkport , Maine , known as `` Walker 's Point '' . At the Republican Convention , Reagan selected Bush as his vice presidential nominee , placing him on the winning Republican presidential ticket of 1980 . Vice presidency ( 1981 -- 1989 ) See also : Presidency of Ronald Reagan First term , 1981 -- 1985 As vice president , Bush generally maintained a typically low profile while he recognized the constitutional limits of the office ; he avoided decision - making or criticizing Reagan in any way . As had become customary , he and his wife moved into the Vice President 's residence at Number One Observatory Circle , about two miles from the White House . After selling the house in Tanglewood , the Bushes declared a room in The Houstonian Hotel in Houston as their official voting address . The Bushes attended a large number of public and ceremonial events in their positions , including many state funerals , which became a common joke for comedians . Mrs. Bush found the funerals largely beneficial , saying , `` George met with many current or future heads of state at the funerals he attended , enabling him to forge personal relationships that were important to President Reagan . '' As the President of the Senate , Bush stayed in contact with members of Congress and kept the president informed on occurrences on Capitol Hill . President Ronald Reagan with Bush On March 30 , 1981 ( early into the administration ) , Reagan was shot and seriously wounded by John Hinckley Jr. in Washington , D.C. Bush was in Fort Worth , Texas , and immediately flew back to Washington because he was next in line to the presidency . Reagan 's cabinet convened in the White House Situation Room , where they discussed various issues , including the availability of the Nuclear Football . When Bush 's plane landed , he was advised by his aides to proceed directly to the White House by helicopter as an image of the government still functioning despite the attack . Bush rejected the idea , responding , `` Only the President lands on the South Lawn . '' This made a positive impression on Reagan , who recovered and returned to work within two weeks . From then on , the two men would have regular Thursday lunches in the Oval Office . During a Tulsa , Oklahoma Republican fundraiser in June 1981 , Bush stated that President Reagan was unwilling to make additional tax cut compromises with Congress . In September 1981 , Bush traveled to Mexico to participate in Independence Day celebrations there . He said in a statement that President Reagan was `` deeply committed to strengthening the friendship and cooperation between our countries '' . In November 1981 , Bush toured western Texas to offer support for beleaguered Director of the Office of Management and Budget David Stockman , who he believed was intelligent but needed to adjust to managing journalists . During a December 1981 interview , Bush stated that he was convinced news leaks by unnamed administration officials were correct and had succeeded in hurting President Reagan : `` I really feel we have been undisciplined in this White House . We 've not served the president well by these leaks . '' On April 28 , 1982 , Bush met with Prime Minister of Singapore Lee Kuan Yew for a wide - ranging discussion that included speaking about regional security , the world economy , and Soviet expansionism in Southeast Asia , and later that month , Bush confirmed he was considering traveling to China during his impending trip to Asia and the Pacific amid a news conference in Seoul , South Korea . In November 1982 , Bush toured Africa , the first instance of American government visiting there since the Reagan administration began . Bush told reporters that while he would allow for heads of state to dictate how each meeting would transpire , there was an expectation on his part for discussions on the independence of Namibia , adding that the US was going to retain the position of no settlement in Namibia until Cuban troops in Angola were withdrawn . On November 15 , Bush met with United States Secretary of State George P. Shultz and Yuri Andropov in Moscow , Russia to discuss human rights and arms reductions . Bush later said , `` The meeting was frank , cordial and substantive . It gave both sides the opportunity to exchange views on the state of their relations . '' At the end of January 1983 , Bush began a seven - day tour of West Europe intended to promote the arms reduction commitment being advocated for by the Reagan administration . During a February 8 news conference in Paris , Bush said the US 's invitations for the Soviet Union to consent to a reduction in medium - range missiles were supported by Western Europe , which he stated had also consented to the deployment of new American missiles starting in the latter part of the year . The following day , Bush defended American nuclear arms policy when answering British Secretary General of the Committee on Nuclear Disarmament Bruce Kent . In September 1983 , Bush met with President of Romania Nicolae Ceaușescu , insisting during the meeting that President Reagan intended to push for arms reductions at the Geneva talks with the Soviet Union . Shortly thereafter , Bush said the US wanted better relations with all countries within the East Bloc though stressed NATO would retaliate in the event of any threatening of European military stability by the Soviets , and the vice president assailed the Soviet Union for the Berlin Wall and destroying the Korean Air Lines jetliner . In December 1983 Bush flew to El Salvador and warned that country 's military leaders to end their death squads and hold fully free elections or face the loss of U.S. aid . `` It is not just the President , it is not just me or the Congress . If these death - squad murders continue , you will lose the support of the American people and that would indeed be a tragedy . '' Bush 's aides feared for his safety and thought about calling the meeting off when they discovered apparent blood stains on the floor of the presidential palace of Álvaro Magaña . Bush was never told of the aides ' concerns and a tense meeting was held in which some of Magaña 's personnel brandished semiautomatic weapons and refused requests to take them outside . Bush was assigned by Reagan to chair two special task forces , on deregulation and international drug smuggling . The deregulation task force reviewed hundreds of rules , making specific recommendations on which ones to amend or revise , in order to curb the size of the federal government . The drug smuggling task force coordinated federal efforts to reduce the quantity of drugs entering the United States . Both were popular issues with conservatives , and Bush , largely a moderate , began courting them through his work . In January 1984 , Bush reported Reagan 's stance on Moscow had projected a strong image toward the Soviets as well as heightened the possibility of an arms agreement . On February 10 , 1984 , President Reagan designated Bush to lead the American delegation to the funeral of Yuri V. Andropov and convey America 's `` hope for an improved dialogue and cooperation which can lead to a more constructive relationship between our two countries . '' On February 24 , Bush spoke on the progress made in Grenada as a result of the Reagan administration coming into play following Vietnam , Watergate , and the presidency of Jimmy Carter while talking to the American Soybean Association : `` When the president faced this crisis in Grenada he did n't wait until we were taken hostage , he acted before the crisis became a humiliation . '' On June 14 , 1984 , Bush cast a tie - breaking vote in the Senate in favor of 10 - warhead MX missile . In September 1984 , Bush said President Reagan likely would state his responsibility for the failure to protect the Beirut American embassy from bombing but stressed the difficulty of pressure . Second term , 1985 -- 1989 Reagan and Bush ran for reelection in 1984 . The Democratic opponent , Walter Mondale , made history by choosing a woman , New York Representative Geraldine Ferraro , as his running mate . She and Bush squared off in a single televised vice presidential debate . Ferraro served as a contrast to the Ivy - League educated Bush ; she represented a `` blue - collar '' district in Queens , New York . This distinction and her popularity among female journalists left Bush at a disadvantage . Regardless , the Reagan - Bush ticket won in a landslide against the Mondale - Ferraro ticket . Early into his second term as vice president , Bush and his aides were planning a run for the presidency in 1988 . By the end of 1985 , a committee had been established and over two million dollars was raised for Bush . In mid-March 1985 , Bush attended the funeral of Konstantin Chernenko , telling reporters in Geneva , Switzerland that he had `` brought a message with me to Moscow from President Reagan . It is a message of peace . '' During this trip , Bush pledged the US would proceed with a planned military pullout from Grenada during a rally , met with President of Nicaragua Daniel Ortega for discussions on the four - point plan for peace of the Sandinista government in Brazil , and stated America would be committed in combatting the Sandinista regime within Nicaragua during an address in Honduras . On July 13 , 1985 , Bush became the first vice president to serve as acting president when Reagan underwent surgery to remove polyps from his colon ; Bush served as the acting president for approximately eight hours . In October 1985 , Bush toured Pearl Harbor while he received a briefing on Pacific Fleet operations . He told reporters of an improvement in Sino - American relations and disclosed Taiwan as a major topic in his discussions with Chinese officials . In 1986 , the Reagan administration was shaken by a scandal when it was revealed that administration officials had secretly arranged weapon sales to Iran . The officials had used the proceeds to fund the anti-communist Contras in Nicaragua , which was a direct violation of law . The scandal became known as the Iran - Contra Affair . When news of the public embarrassment broke to the media , Bush , like Reagan , stated that he had been `` out of the loop '' and unaware of the diversion of funds , although this was later questioned . His diaries from that time stated `` I 'm one of the few people that know fully the details '' and as a result of six pardons by Bush , the independent counsel 's final report on the Iran - Contra Affair pointedly noted : `` The criminal investigation of Bush was regrettably incomplete . '' In March 1986 , Bush outlined the government 's policy on the combating of terrorism . In an interagency task force report presented to President Reagan , Bush publicly stated that the strategy of the federal government was to retaliate without `` wantonly '' terminating human lives . In early April 1986 , Bush was hoping to preserve peace when he traveled to the Persian Gulf . In May , Bush underwent a procedure to remove a malignant growth from his left cheek . His spokesman Marlin Fitzwater said that doctors had found the growth weeks earlier . British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and Bush , 1986 During an appearance at a conference in January 1987 , Bush confirmed the torture and subsequent murder of William Francis Buckley . In February 1987 , Bush addressed the National Religious Broadcasters , warning the group that intolerance was unacceptable and particularly called for racial tolerance . `` We must let our children know hatred has no place in America . The Ku Klux Klan is an embarrassment to Christ , whose gospel is love , and an embarrassment to our nation , whose gospel is freedom . '' In March 1987 , Bush announced the resignation of advisor Fred Khedouri as well as implementation of Charles Greenleaf in the same role , and visited a drug rehabilitation center during a two - day swing through Florida , expressing the view that education was the sole means of ending drug issues throughout the US . In September 1987 , Bush embarked on a month long trip to Poland and European allied countries . On September 22 , Bush cast a tie breaking vote in the Senate to save the Strategic Defense Initiative from receiving a 800 million cut in funding . On September 25 , Bush reemployed Peter Teeley as Director of Communications for his office and presidential campaign . On September 28 , Bush delivered a televised address pledging that the US would forever be aligned with Poland . Bush 's campaign director Roger Ailes and others were concerned that Bush was seen as a `` wimp . '' Bush put that image to rest when he displayed evident fury during an interview with Dan Rather . As vice president , Bush officially opened the 1987 Pan American Games in Indianapolis . In 1988 , the guided missile cruiser USS Vincennes accidentally shot down Iran Air Flight 655 , killing 290 passengers . Bush said that he would `` never apologize for the United States of America . Ever . I do n't care what the facts are . '' 1988 presidential campaign Main article : United States presidential election , 1988 Campaign logo John Ashcroft and Vice President Bush campaign in St. Louis , Missouri , 1988 In the January 26 , 1987 , issue of Time magazine , journalist Robert Ajemian reported in an article entitled `` Where Is the Real George Bush ? '' that one of Bush 's friends had urged him to spend several days at Camp David thinking through his plans for his prospective presidency . Bush responded in exasperation , `` Oh , the vision thing . '' This oft - cited quote became a shorthand for the charge that Bush failed to contemplate or articulate important policy positions in a compelling and coherent manner . The phrase has since become a metonym for any politician 's failure to incorporate a greater vision in a campaign , and has often been applied in the media to other politicians or public figures . As early as 1985 , Bush had been planning a presidential run ; he entered the Republican primary for President of the United States in October 1987 . His challengers for the Republican presidential nomination included U.S. Senator Bob Dole of Kansas , U.S. Representative Jack Kemp of New York , former Governor Pete DuPont of Delaware , and conservative Christian televangelist Pat Robertson . Bush was considered the early frontrunner for the nomination , but he came in third in the Iowa caucus , behind winner Dole and runner - up Robertson . Much as Reagan had done in 1980 , Bush reorganized his staff and concentrated on the New Hampshire primary . With Dole ahead in New Hampshire , Bush ran television commercials portraying the senator as a tax raiser ; he rebounded to win the state 's primary . Following the primary , Bush and Dole had a joint media appearance , when the interviewer asked Dole if he had anything to say to Bush , Dole said , in response to the ads , `` yeah , stop lying about my record ! '' in an angry tone . This is thought to have hurt Dole 's campaign to Bush 's benefit . Bush continued seeing victory , winning many Southern primaries as well . Once the multiple - state primaries such as Super Tuesday began , Bush 's organizational strength and fundraising lead were impossible for the other candidates to match , and the nomination was his . As the 1988 Republican National Convention approached , there was much speculation who Bush would choose to be his running mate . He selected little - known U.S. Senator Dan Quayle of Indiana , who was favored by conservatives . Despite Reagan 's popularity , Bush trailed Democratic nominee Michael Dukakis , then Governor of Massachusetts , in most polls . Bush was occasionally criticized for his lack of eloquence when compared to Reagan , but he delivered a well - received speech at the 1988 Republican National Convention . Known as the `` thousand points of light '' speech , the presentation described Bush 's vision of America . He endorsed the Pledge of Allegiance , capital punishment , and gun rights , and drew upon his long - standing Christian beliefs to support both prayer in schools and opposed abortion . The speech at the convention included Bush 's famous pledge : `` Read my lips : no new taxes . '' The 1988 presidential electoral votes by state The general election campaign between the two men was described in 2008 as one of the dirtiest in modern times . Bush blamed Dukakis for polluting the Boston Harbor as the Massachusetts governor . Bush also pointed out that Dukakis was opposed to a law that would require all students to say the Pledge of Allegiance , a topic well covered in Bush 's nomination acceptance speech . Dukakis 's unconditional opposition to capital punishment led to a pointed question being asked during the presidential debates . Moderator Bernard Shaw asked Dukakis if Dukakis would hypothetically support the death penalty if his wife , Kitty , were raped and murdered . Dukakis 's response of no , as well as a provocative ad about convicted felon Willie Horton , contributed toward Bush 's characterization of Dukakis as `` soft on crime '' . Bush defeated Dukakis and his running mate , Lloyd Bentsen , in the Electoral College , by 426 to 111 ( Bentsen received one vote from a faithless elector ) . In the nationwide popular vote , Bush took 53.4 % of the ballots cast while Dukakis received 45.6 % . Bush became the first serving vice president to be elected president since Martin Van Buren in 1836 as well as the first person to succeed someone from his own party to the presidency via election to the office in his own right since Herbert Hoover in 1929 . Presidency ( 1989 -- 1993 ) Main article : Presidency of George H.W. Bush Chief Justice William Rehnquist administers the Presidential Oath of Office to George H.W. Bush during his January 20 , 1989 inauguration ceremony at the United States Capitol Bush was inaugurated on January 20 , 1989 , succeeding Ronald Reagan . He entered office at a period of change in the world ; the fall of the Berlin Wall came early in his presidency , the collapse of Soviet Union came in 1991 . He ordered military operations in Panama and the Persian Gulf , and , at one point , was recorded as having a record - high approval rating of 89 % . In his Inaugural Address , Bush said : I come before you and assume the Presidency at a moment rich with promise . We live in a peaceful , prosperous time , but we can make it better . For a new breeze is blowing , and a world refreshed by freedom seems reborn ; for in man 's heart , if not in fact , the day of the dictator is over . The totalitarian era is passing , its old ideas blown away like leaves from an ancient , lifeless tree . A new breeze is blowing , and a nation refreshed by freedom stands ready to push on . There is new ground to be broken , and new action to be taken . The Bush Cabinet Office Name Term President George H.W.

At $220 billion in 1990 , the deficit had tripled since 1980 . Bush was dedicated to curbing the deficit , believing that America could not continue to be a leader in the world without doing so . He began an effort to persuade the Democratic controlled Congress to act on the budget ; with Republicans believing that the best way was to cut government spending , and Democrats convinced that the only way would be to raise taxes , Bush faced problems when it came to consensus building . In the wake of a struggle with Congress , Bush was forced by the Democratic majority to raise tax revenues ; as a result , many Republicans felt betrayed because Bush had promised `` no new taxes '' in his 1988 campaign . Perceiving a means of revenge , Republican congressmen defeated Bush 's proposal , which would enact spending cuts and tax increases that would reduce the deficit by $500 billion over five years . Scrambling , Bush accepted the Democrats ' demands for higher taxes and more spending , which alienated him from Republicans and gave way to a sharp decrease in popularity . Bush would later say that he wished he had never signed the bill . Near the end of the 101st Congress , the president and congressional members reached a compromise on a budget package that increased the marginal tax rate and phased out exemptions for high - income taxpayers . Although he originally demanded a reduction in the capital gains tax , Bush relented on this issue as well . This agreement with the Democratic leadership in Congress proved to be a turning point in the Bush presidency ; his popularity among Republicans never fully recovered . Bush 's approval ratings ( red ) compared to his disapproval ratings ( blue ) for his four - year presidency Coming at around the same time as the budget deal , America entered into a mild recession , lasting for six months . Many government programs , such as welfare , increased . As the unemployment rate edged upward in 1991 , Bush signed a bill providing additional benefits for unemployed workers . The year 1991 was marked by many corporate reorganizations , which laid off a substantial number of workers . Many now unemployed were Republicans and independents , who had believed that their jobs were secure . By his second year in office , Bush was told by his economic advisors to stop dealing with the economy , as they believed that he had done everything necessary to ensure his reelection . By 1992 , interest and inflation rates were the lowest in years , but by midyear the unemployment rate reached 7.8 % , the highest since 1984 . In September 1992 , the Census Bureau reported that 14.2 % of all Americans lived in poverty . At a press conference in 1990 , Bush told reporters that he found foreign policy more enjoyable . Education On April 5 , 1989 , Bush submitted to Congress the Educational Excellence Act of 1989 , a seven program education legislative proposal with the intent of achieving `` a better - educated America . '' The proposal was opposed by Republicans seeking to shrink government 's role in education and met with a lack of enthusiasm by Democrats . A week after submitting the proposal , Bush said his administration was seeking to provide waivers on `` some regulations for poorer communities '' and create `` a kind of performance - driven partial deregulation of education '' that would grant federal funding when schools showed high levels of accountability coupled with academic performance . Later in the year , from September 27 -- 28 , Bush held a two - day summit with American governors dedicated solely to education reform at the University of Virginia , the group forming a consensus to overhaul the American education system for the country 's students to be closer in test scores in science , mathematics , and literacy . In the 1990 State of the Union Address , Bush revealed his interest in his administration spearheading the increase in American high school graduation rates to 90 % along with making American students `` first in the world '' in the subjects of math and science by 2000 . In a speech in the White House East Room on April 18 , 1991 , Bush called for both public and private citizens to become involved with education reform : `` To those who want to see real improvement in American education , I say there will be no renaissance without revolution . It 's time we held our schools , and ourselves , accountable for results . '' On June 3 , Bush advocated for community participation in reforming the national education system and insisting America 2000 would fail `` if we try to do it from Washington itself . '' On October 4 , Bush met with representatives of the New American Schools Development Corp. at Camp David as the organization sought 200 million USD for education reform to aid with the forming of `` new learning environments '' . In a November 25 appearance in Columbus , Ohio , Bush joined Governor of Ohio George Voinovich in formally announcing a state version of his education policy , `` Ohio 2000 '' . Bush concurrently declared he would be involved with a reform of troubled schools and charged the Democrat - controlled Congress with `` fighting tooth and nail against our most important reforms '' . On July 23 , 1992 , Bush signed the Higher Education Amendments of 1992 , a resuming of `` many programs in the Higher Education Act of 1965 . '' Major initiatives See also : Environmental policy of the United States § The George H.W. Bush Administration ( 1989 -- 1993 ) During a speech to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing , Bush announced a vision to complete Space Station Freedom , resume exploration of the Moon and begin exploration of Mars . Although a space station was eventually constructed -- work on the International Space Station began in 1998 -- other work has been confounded by NASA budgetary issues . In 1998 , Bush received the Rotary National Award for Space Achievement 's National Space Trophy for his pioneering leadership of the U.S. space program . During his presidency , Bush signed a number of major bills into law , including the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 ; this was one of the most pro-civil rights bills in decades . He is also the only president to successfully veto a civil rights act , having vetoed the job - discrimination protection Civil Rights Act of 1990 . Bush feared racial quotas would be imposed , but later approved watered - down Civil Rights Act of 1991 . He worked to increase federal spending for education , childcare , and advanced technology research . He also signed the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act which provides monetary compensation of people who had contracted cancer and a number of other specified diseases as a direct result of their exposure to atmospheric nuclear testing undertaken by the United States during the Cold War , or their exposure to high levels of radon while doing uranium mining . In dealing with the environment , Bush reauthorized the Clean Air Act , requiring cleaner burning fuels . He quarreled with Congress over an eventually signed bill to aid police in capturing criminals , and signed into law a measure to improve the nation 's highway system . Bush signed the Immigration Act of 1990 , which led to a 40 percent increase in legal immigration to the United States . Bush became a life member of the National Rifle Association early in 1988 and had campaigned as a `` pro-gun '' candidate with the NRA 's endorsement . In March 1989 , he placed a temporary ban on the import of certain semiautomatic rifles . This action cost him endorsement from the NRA in 1992 . Bush publicly resigned his life membership in the organization after receiving a form letter from NRA depicting agents of the Bureau of Alcohol , Tobacco , and Firearms as `` jack - booted thugs . '' He called the NRA letter a `` vicious slander on good people . '' Points of Light Main article : Points of Light President Bush devoted attention to voluntary service as a means of solving some of America 's most serious social problems . He often used the `` thousand points of light '' theme to describe the power of citizens to solve community problems . In his 1989 inaugural address , President Bush said , `` I have spoken of a thousand points of light , of all the community organizations that are spread like stars throughout the Nation , doing good . '' Four years later , in his report to the nation on The Points of Light Movement , President Bush said , `` Points of Light are the soul of America . They are ordinary people who reach beyond themselves to touch the lives of those in need , bringing hope and opportunity , care and friendship . By giving so generously of themselves , these remarkable individuals show us not only what is best in our heritage but what all of us are called to become . '' In 1990 , the Points of Light Foundation was created as a nonprofit organization in Washington to promote this spirit of volunteerism . In 2007 , the Points of Light Foundation merged with the Hands On Network with the goal of strengthening volunteerism , streamlining costs and services and deepening impact . Points of Light , the organization created through this merger , has approximately 250 affiliates in 22 countries and partnerships with thousands of nonprofits and companies dedicated to volunteer service around the world . In 2012 , Points of Light mobilized 4 million volunteers in 30 million hours of service worth $635 million . On October 16 , 2009 , President Barack Obama held a Presidential Forum on Service hosted by former President George H.W. Bush and Points of Light at the George Bush Presidential Library Center on the campus of Texas A&M University . The event celebrated the contributions of more than 4,500 Daily Point of Light award winners and honored President Bush 's legacy of service and civic engagement . In 2011 , Points of Light paid tribute to President George H.W. Bush and volunteer service at Washington , D.C. 's Kennedy Center . President Bush was joined by Presidents Jimmy Carter , Bill Clinton , and George W. Bush to highlight the role volunteer service plays in people 's lives . Daily Point of Light Award President Bush created the Daily Point of Light Award in 1989 to recognize ordinary Americans from all walks of life taking direct and consequential voluntary action in their communities to solve serious social problems . The President focused great attention on these individuals and organizations , both to honor them for their tremendous work and to call the nation to join them and multiply their efforts . By the end of his administration , President Bush had recognized 1,020 Daily Points of Light representing all 50 states and addressing issues ranging from care for infants and teenagers with AIDS to adult illiteracy and from gang violence to job training for the homeless . The Daily Point of Light continues to be awarded by Points of Light and President Bush continues to sign all of the awards . On July 15 , 2013 , President Barack Obama welcomed President Bush to the White House to celebrate the 5,000 th Daily Point of Light Award . They bestowed the award on Floyd Hammer and Kathy Hamilton of Union , Iowa , for their work founding Outreach , a nonprofit that delivers free meals to hungry children in 15 countries . Judicial appointments Supreme Court Main article : George H.W. Bush Supreme Court candidates Bush appointed the following Justices to the Supreme Court of the United States : David Souter -- 1990 Clarence Thomas -- 1991 Other courts Main article : List of federal judges appointed by George H.W. Bush In addition to his two Supreme Court appointments , Bush appointed 42 judges to the United States Courts of Appeals , and 148 judges to the United States district courts . Among these appointments was Vaughn R. Walker , who would later be revealed to be the earliest known gay federal judge . Bush also experienced a number of judicial appointment controversies , as 11 nominees for 10 federal appellate judgeships were not processed by the Democratically - controlled Senate Judiciary Committee . Foreign policy Bush speaks on the telephone regarding Operation Just Cause as General Brent Scowcroft and Chief of Staff John H. Sununu look on , 1989 Main article : Foreign policy of the George H.W. Bush administration Panama Main article : United States invasion of Panama In the 1980s , Panamanian leader Manuel Noriega , a once U.S. - supportive leader who was later accused of spying for Fidel Castro and using Panama to traffic drugs into the United States , was one of the most recognizable names in America and was constantly in the press . The struggle to remove him from power began in the Reagan administration , when economic sanctions were imposed on the country ; this included prohibiting American companies and government from making payments to Panama and freezing $56 million in Panamanian funds in American banks . Reagan sent more than 2,000 American troops to Panama as well . Unlike Reagan , Bush was able to remove Noriega from power , but his administration 's unsuccessful post-invasion planning hindered the needs of Panama during the establishment of the young democratic government . In May 1989 , Panama held democratic elections , in which Guillermo Endara was elected president ; the results were then annulled by Noriega 's government . In response , Bush sent 2,000 more troops to the country , where they began conducting regular military exercises in Panamanian territory ( in violation of prior treaties ) . Bush then removed an embassy and ambassador from the country , and dispatched additional troops to Panama to prepare the way for an upcoming invasion . Noriega suppressed an October military coup attempt and massive protests in Panama against him , but after a U.S. serviceman was shot by Panamanian forces in December 1989 , Bush ordered 24,000 troops into the country with an objective of removing Noriega from power ; `` Operation Just Cause '' was a large - scale American military operation , and the first in more than 40 years that was not related to the Cold War . The mission was controversial , but American forces achieved control of the country and Endara assumed the presidency . Noriega surrendered to the United States and was convicted and imprisoned on racketeering and drug trafficking charges in April 1992 . President Bush and First Lady Barbara Bush visited Panama in June 1992 , to give support to the first post-invasion Panamanian government . Soviet Union See also : Dissolution of the Soviet Union , New world order ( politics ) , A World Transformed , and History of the United States ( 1980 - 91 ) § The end of the Cold War Bush and Mikhail Gorbachev in Helsinki summit in 1990 In 1989 , just after the fall of the Berlin Wall , Bush met with Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev in a conference on the Mediterranean island of Malta . The administration had been under intense pressure to meet with the Soviets , but not all initially found the Malta Summit to be a step in the right direction ; General Brent Scowcroft , among others , was apprehensive about the meeting , saying that it might be `` premature '' due to concerns where , according to Condoleezza Rice , `` expectations ( would be ) set that something was going to happen , where the Soviets might grandstand and force ( the U.S. ) into agreements that would ultimately not be good for the United States . '' But European leaders , including François Mitterrand and Margaret Thatcher , encouraged Bush to meet with Gorbachev , something that he did December 2 and 3 , 1989 . Though no agreements were signed , the meeting was viewed largely as being an important one ; when asked about nuclear war , Gorbachev responded , `` I assured the President of the United States that the Soviet Union would never start a hot war against the United States of America . And we would like our relations to develop in such a way that they would open greater possibilities for cooperation ... This is just the beginning . We are just at the very beginning of our road , long road to a long - lasting , peaceful period . '' The meeting was received as a very important step to the end of the Cold War . Another summit was held in July 1991 , where the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty ( START I ) was signed by Bush and Gorbachev in Moscow . The treaty took nine years in the making and was the first major arms agreement since the signing of the Intermediate Ranged Nuclear Forces Treaty by Reagan and Gorbachev in 1987 . The contentions in START would reduce the strategic nuclear weapons of the United States and the USSR by about 35 % over seven years , and the Soviet Union 's land - based intercontinental ballistic missiles would be cut by 50 % . Bush described START as `` a significant step forward in dispelling half a century of mistrust '' . After the dissolution of the USSR in 1991 , President Bush and Gorbachev declared a U.S. - Russian strategic partnership , marking the end of the Cold War . Gulf War Main article : Gulf War President Bush visits American troops in Saudi Arabia on Thanksgiving Day , 1990 On August 2 , 1990 , Iraq , led by Saddam Hussein , invaded its oil - rich neighbor to the south , Kuwait ; Bush condemned the invasion and began rallying opposition to Iraq in the US and among European , Asian , and Middle Eastern allies . Secretary of Defense Richard Bruce `` Dick '' Cheney traveled to Saudi Arabia to meet with King Fahd ; Fahd requested US military aid in the matter , fearing a possible invasion of his country as well . The request was met initially with Air Force fighter jets . Iraq made attempts to negotiate a deal that would allow the country to take control of half of Kuwait . Bush rejected this proposal and insisted on a complete withdrawal of Iraqi forces . The planning of a ground operation by US - led coalition forces began forming in September 1990 , headed by General Norman Schwarzkopf . Bush spoke before a joint session of the U.S. Congress regarding the authorization of air and land attacks , laying out four immediate objectives : `` Iraq must withdraw from Kuwait completely , immediately , and without condition . Kuwait 's legitimate government must be restored . The security and stability of the Persian Gulf must be assured . And American citizens abroad must be protected . '' He then outlined a fifth , long - term objective : `` Out of these troubled times , our fifth objective -- a new world order -- can emerge : a new era -- freer from the threat of terror , stronger in the pursuit of justice , and more secure in the quest for peace . An era in which the nations of the world , East and West , North and South , can prosper and live in harmony ... A world where the rule of law supplants the rule of the jungle . A world in which nations recognize the shared responsibility for freedom and justice . A world where the strong respect the rights of the weak . '' With the United Nations Security Council opposed to Iraq 's violence , Congress authorized the use of military force with a set goal of returning control of Kuwait to the Kuwaiti government , and protecting America 's interests abroad . Bush meets with Robert Gates , General Colin Powell , Secretary Dick Cheney and others about the situation in the Persian Gulf and Operation Desert Shield , January 15 , 1991 Early on the morning of January 17 , 1991 , allied forces launched the first attack , which included more than 4,000 bombing runs by coalition aircraft . This pace would continue for the next four weeks , until a ground invasion was launched on February 24 , 1991 . Allied forces penetrated Iraqi lines and pushed toward Kuwait City while on the west side of the country , forces were intercepting the retreating Iraqi army . Bush made the decision to stop the offensive after a mere 100 hours . Critics labeled this decision premature , as hundreds of Iraqi forces were able to escape ; Bush responded by saying that he wanted to minimize U.S. casualties . Opponents further charged that Bush should have continued the attack , pushing Hussein 's army back to Baghdad , then removing him from power . Bush explained that he did not give the order to overthrow the Iraqi government because it would have `` incurred incalculable human and political costs ... We would have been forced to occupy Baghdad and , in effect , rule Iraq . '' Bush 's approval ratings skyrocketed after the successful offensive . Additionally , President Bush and Secretary of State Baker felt the coalition victory had increased U.S. prestige abroad and believed there was a window of opportunity to use the political capital generated by the coalition victory to revitalize the Arab - Israeli peace process . The administration immediately returned to Arab - Israeli peacemaking following the end of the Gulf War ; this resulted in the Madrid Conference , later in 1991 . Somali Civil War Main article : Somali Civil War Faced with a humanitarian disaster in Somalia that was exacerbated by a complete breakdown in civil order , the United Nations had created the UNOSOM I mission in April 1992 to aid the situation through humanitarian efforts , though the mission failed . The Bush administration proposed American aid to the region by assisting in creating a secure environment for humanitarian efforts and UN Resolution 794 was unanimously adopted by the Security Council on December 3 , 1992 . A lame duck president , Bush launched Operation Restore Hope the following day under which the United States would assume command in accordance with Resolution 794 . Fighting would escalate and continue into the Clinton administration . Japan During an April 28 , 1989 appearance in the press room of the White House , Bush announced that the U.S. would continue a deal with Japan to produce the FSX advanced fighter jet . He said that promises had been made that American jobs and technology would be safe and the proposal would bolster security for both the U.S. and Japan . On November 21 , 1989 , Bush signed a measure that guaranteed reparations to Japanese - Americans who were relocated into internment camps during World War II . Congress authorized US $20,000 ( equivalent to $39,485 in 2017 ) for each survivor . On March 12 , 1990 , Bush met for an hour with former Prime Minister of Japan Noboru Takeshita to discuss shared economic issues and `` the fact that their solution will require extraordinary efforts on both sides of the Pacific . '' On December 6 , 1991 , Japanese Prime Minister Kiichi Miyazawa apologized to the United States for the attack on Pearl Harbor . The following day -- which was the fiftieth anniversary of the attack -- Bush accepted Japan 's apology for the attack that drew the United States into World War II . Bush urged that progress be made in improving relations between the U.S. and Japan . Israel On June 18 , 1990 , White House Press Secretary Marlin Fitzwater confirmed President Bush had sent Prime Minister of Israel Yitzhak Shamir a letter in which he congratulated the latter on his election and urged him to support the proposed `` Shamir initiative for peace '' , which would involve the participation of Palestinian Arabians in local elections . On June 20 , Bush suspended American dialogue with the Palestine Liberation Organization for the latter 's refusal to condemn the Palestinian guerrilla raid of an Israeli beach the previous month . On August 11 , 1992 , following a meeting between President Bush and Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin , Bush announced he would seek the approval of Congress to bestow Israel up to $10 billion in loan guarantees to assist the country with its absorbing of Soviet Union immigrants . NAFTA Main article : North American Free Trade Agreement Standing : President Carlos Salinas , President Bush , Prime Minister Brian Mulroney ; Seated : Jaime Serra Puche , Carla Hills , and Michael Wilson at the NAFTA Initialing Ceremony , October 1992 The Bush administration and the Progressive Conservative Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney spearheaded the negotiations of the North American Free Trade Agreement ( NAFTA ) . The agreement would eliminate the majority of tariffs on products that were traded among the United States , Canada , and Mexico . This would encourage trade among the countries . The treaty also restricted patents , copyrights , and trademarks , and outlined the removal of investment restrictions among the three countries . President Bush announced the completion of NAFTA during a Rose Garden appearance on August 12 , 1992 , calling it the `` beginning of a new era '' . The agreement came under heavy scrutiny amongst mainly Democrats , who charged that NAFTA resulted in a loss of American jobs . NAFTA also contained no provisions for labor rights ; according to the Bush administration , the trade agreement would generate economic resources necessary to enable Mexico 's government to overcome problems of funding and enforcement of its labor laws . Bush needed a renewal of negotiating authority to move forward with the NAFTA trade talks . Such authority would enable the president to negotiate a trade accord that would be submitted to Congress for a vote , thereby avoiding a situation in which the president would be required to renegotiate with trading partners those parts of an agreement that Congress wished to change . While initial signing was possible during his term , negotiations made slow , but steady , progress . President Clinton would go on to make the passage of NAFTA a priority for his administration , despite its conservative and Republican roots -- with the addition of two side agreements -- to achieve its passage in 1993 . The treaty has since been defended as well as criticized further . The American economy has grown 54 % since the adoption of NAFTA in 1993 , with 25 million new jobs created ; this was seen by some as evidence of NAFTA being beneficial to the United States . With talk in early 2008 regarding a possible American withdrawal from the treaty , Carlos M. Gutierrez , current United States Secretary of Commerce , writes , `` Quitting NAFTA would send economic shock waves throughout the world , and the damage would start here at home . '' But John J. Sweeney , President of the AFL - CIO , wrote in The Boston Globe that `` the U.S. trade deficit with Canada and Mexico ballooned to 12 times its pre-NAFTA size , reaching $111 billion in 2004 .

On December 24 , 1992 , he granted executive clemency to six former government employees implicated in the Iran - Contra scandal of the late 1980s , most prominently former Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger . Bush described Weinberger , who was scheduled to stand trial on January 5 , 1993 , for criminal charges related to Iran - Contra , as a `` true American patriot '' .

Awards and honors In 1990 , Time magazine named him the Man of the Year . In 1991 , the U.S. Navy Memorial Foundation awarded Bush its Lone Sailor award for his naval service and his subsequent government service . In 1993 , he was made an Honorary Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath by Queen Elizabeth II . In 2009 , he received the PGA Tour Lifetime Achievement Award . 1992 presidential campaign Main article : United States presidential election , 1992 In early 1992 , Bush announced that he would seek a second term . A coalition victory in the Persian Gulf War and high approval ratings made re-election seem likely . As a result , many leading Democrats declined to seek their party 's presidential nomination . On the negative side , Bush 's popularity was reduced by an economic recession and doubts of whether he properly ended the Gulf War . Conservative political columnist Pat Buchanan challenged Bush for the Republican nomination . He shocked political pundits by finishing second , with 37 % of the vote in the New Hampshire primary . Bush responded by adopting more conservative positions on issues , in an attempt to undermine Buchanan 's base . Once he had secured the nomination , Bush faced his Democratic challenger , Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton . Clinton attacked Bush as a politician who was not doing enough to assist the working middle - class and being `` out of touch '' with the common man , a notion reinforced by reporter Andrew Rosenthal 's false report that Bush was `` astonished '' to see a demonstration of a supermarket scanner . The 1992 presidential electoral votes by state In early 1992 , the race took an unexpected twist when Texas billionaire H. Ross Perot launched a third party bid , claiming that neither Republicans nor Democrats could eliminate the deficit and make government more efficient . His message appealed to voters across the political spectrum disappointed with both parties ' perceived fiscal irresponsibility . Perot later bowed out of the race for a short time , then reentered . Clinton had originally been in the lead , until Perot reentered , tightening the race significantly . As Election Day neared , the polls suggested that the race was a dead - heat , but Clinton pulled out on top , with 370 electoral votes to Bush 's 168 votes . Perot won 19 % of the popular vote , one of the highest totals for a third party candidate in U.S. history , drawing equally from both major candidates , according to exit polls . Several key factors led to Bush 's defeat . The ailing economy that arose from recession may have been the main factor in Bush 's loss . On Election Day , 7 in 10 voters said that the economy was either `` not so good '' or `` poor '' . On the eve of the 1992 election , after unemployment reports of 7.8 % appeared ( the highest since 1984 ) , Economic recession had contributed to a sharp decline in his approval rating -- to just 37 % . Conservative Republicans pointed out that Bush 's 1990 agreement to raise taxes contradicted his famous `` Read my lips : no new taxes '' pledge . In doing so , Bush alienated many members of his conservative base , losing their support for his re-election . According to one survey , of the voters who cited Bush 's broken `` No New Taxes '' pledge as `` very important '' , two thirds voted for Bill Clinton . Bush had raised taxes in an attempt to address an increasing budget deficit , which has largely been attributed to the Reagan tax cuts and military spending of the 1980s . The tax revenue increase had not hurt his approval ratings to the extent that it prevented it from reaching 89 % during the Gulf War , four months after the tax vote . By February 1991 his approval rating rose to its highest level -- 89 % . Public image Bush visits NAS JRB , New Orleans personnel before he receives briefs on the status of Joint Task Force Katrina relief efforts , October 2005 George Bush was widely seen as a `` pragmatic caretaker '' president who lacked a unified and compelling long - term theme in his efforts . Indeed , Bush 's sound bite where he refers to the issue of overarching purpose as `` the vision thing '' has become a metonym applied to other political figures accused of similar difficulties . `` He does not say why he wants to be there '' , wrote columnist George Will , `` so the public does not know why it should care if he gets his way '' . His Ivy League and prep school education led to warnings by advisors that his image was too `` preppy '' in 1980 , which resulted in deliberate efforts in his 1988 campaign to shed the image , including meeting voters at factories and shopping malls , abandoning set speeches . His ability to gain broad international support for the Gulf War and the war 's result were seen as both a diplomatic and military triumph , rousing bipartisan approval , though his decision to withdraw without removing Saddam Hussein left mixed feelings , and attention returned to the domestic front and a souring economy . A New York Times article mistakenly depicted Bush as being surprised to see a supermarket barcode reader ; the report of his reaction exacerbated the notion that he was `` out of touch '' . Amid the early 1990s recession , his image shifted from `` conquering hero '' to `` politician befuddled by economic matters '' . Although Bush became the first elected Republican president since Hoover in 1932 to lose a reelection bid ( facing a 34 % approval rating leading up to the 1992 election ) , the mood did not last . Despite his defeat , Bush climbed back from election day approval levels to leave office in 1993 with a 56 % job approval rating . By December 2008 , 60 % of Americans gave Bush 's presidency a positive rating . Post-presidency ( 1993 -- present ) Clinton presidency Upon leaving office , Bush retired with his wife , Barbara , and temporarily moved into a friend 's house near the Tanglewood community of Houston as they prepared to build a permanent retirement house nearby . Ultimately they built their retirement house in the community of West Oaks , near Tanglewood . They had a presidential office within the Park Laureate Building on Memorial Drive . Mimi Swartz of National Geographic wrote that `` The Bushes are too studiously sedate to live in River Oaks '' . They spend the summer at Walker 's Point in Kennebunkport , Maine . In 1993 , Bush was awarded an honorary knighthood ( GCB ) by Queen Elizabeth II . He was the third American president to receive the honor , the others being Dwight D. Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan . In 1993 , Bush was targeted in an assassination plot when he visited Kuwait to commemorate the coalition 's victory over Iraq in the Gulf War . Kuwaiti authorities arrested 17 people who were allegedly involved in using a car bomb to kill Bush . Through interviews with the suspects and examinations of the bomb 's circuitry and wiring , the FBI established that the plot had been directed by the Iraqi Intelligence Service . A Kuwaiti court later convicted all but one of the defendants . Two months later , Clinton retaliated when he ordered the firing of 23 cruise missiles at Iraqi Intelligence Service headquarters in Baghdad . The day before the strike , U.S. Ambassador to the UN Madeleine Albright went before the Security Council to present evidence of the Iraqi plot . After the missiles were fired , Vice President Al Gore said the attack `` was intended to be a proportionate response at the place where this plot '' to assassinate Bush `` was hatched and implemented '' . In September 1993 , Bush and other living former presidents were invited back to the White House for an Arab - Israeli peace accord . They also made the case to Clinton for a repeal of NAFTA . In April 1994 , Bush attended the funeral of Richard Nixon . In the 1994 gubernatorial elections , his sons George W. and Jeb concurrently ran for Governor of Texas and Governor of Florida . The elder Bush frequently telephoned campaign headquarters for updates on the race . George W. won his race against Ann Richards while Jeb lost to Lawton Chiles . After the results came in , the elder Bush told ABC , `` I have very mixed emotions . Proud father , is the way I would sum it all up . '' Jeb would again run for governor of Florida in 1998 and win at the same time that his brother George W. won re-election in Texas just two years prior to his election as President . From 1993 to 1999 he served as the chairman of the board of trustees for Eisenhower Fellowships , and from 2007 to 2009 was chairman of the National Constitution Center . On September 28 , 1994 , Bush said he was opposed to sending American troops to Haiti , citing his loss of confidence in President of Haiti Jean - Bertrand Aristide while speaking to business and civic leaders in Houston . In an October 22 , 1994 speech in Cancun , Mexico , Bush said history would vindicate him for not attempting to force Saddam Hussein out of power while in office : `` The Mideast peace talks that offer hope to the world would never have started if we had done that . The Arabs would never have talked to us . '' On July 17 , 1995 , Bush returned to the White House for the unveiling of his official portrait in an East Room ceremony attended by former members of his administration . In September 1995 , Bush met with President of Vietnam Lê Đức Anh and party secretary Đỗ Mười in Vietnam . On September 2 , Bush and his son George W. participated in a parade commemorating World War II in Fredericksburg , Texas , where the elder Bush reasoned the US had become united in the aftermath of the Pearl Harbor attack and stressed America would have to stay involved in world affairs to continue its unity . On July 26 , 1996 , Bush met with Republican presidential candidate Bob Dole and pledged he would do everything in his power to aid in securing a victory for Dole in the upcoming presidential election . The two met again in October while Dole was preparing for upcoming debates with President Clinton . Bush 's experience with debating Clinton prompting Dole to seek out his advice . In 1997 , the Houston Intercontinental Airport was renamed George Bush Intercontinental Airport . In February 1997 , Bush endorsed the chemical weapon banning treaty supported by United States Secretary of State Madeleine Albright , saying the US would need to approve the treaty ahead of the April deadline . In April 1997 , Bush gave a speech at a convocation of a weekend conference analyzing his presidency and joined President Bill Clinton , former President Ford , and Nancy Reagan in signing the `` Summit Declaration of Commitment '' in advocating for participation by private citizens in solving domestic issues within the United States . In August 1997 , Bush agreed to be interviewed by The New York Times , as long as he would not be portrayed as giving credit to himself over the balanced budget deal that was composed by President Clinton and House Speaker Newt Gingrich . During a telephone interview , he stated his belief that history would show that his administration laid the groundwork for the agreement . President Bush is Honorary Chairman of Points of Light , an international nonprofit dedicated to engaging more people and resources in solving serious social problems through voluntary service . In January 1999 , Bush spoke in the Old Senate chamber as part of a lecture series for Senators in an address warning against the collapse of political decorum and invasions into the privacy of individuals . In February 1999 , Bush was part of the American delegation to the funeral of Hussein of Jordan in Amman . In April 1999 , Bush called for the release of former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet when Spain had him arrested and sought to try him for human rights violations . In May 1999 , Bush and his wife Barbara honored six senior citizens during the annual Ageless Heroes honors in Chicago , Illinois . George W. Bush presidency George and Barbara Bush , 2001 His eldest son , George W. Bush , was inaugurated as the 43rd president of the United States on January 20 , 2001 , and re-elected in 2004 . Through previous administrations , the elder Bush had ubiquitously been known as `` George Bush '' or `` President Bush '' , but following his son 's election the need to distinguish between them has made retronymic forms such as `` George H.W. Bush '' and `` George Bush senior '' and colloquialisms such as `` Bush 41 '' and `` Bush the Elder '' much more common . H.W. Bush was traveling to Minnesota for a speaking engagement on the day of the September 11 attacks . George W. made multiple calls to get in contact with his father before the two men reconnected after the elder Bush had gone to a Brookfield , Wisconsin motel . Bush told biographer Jon Meacham that his son 's vice president , Dick Cheney , underwent a change following the September 11 attacks : `` His seeming knuckling under to the real hard - charging guys who want to fight about everything , use force to get our way in the Middle East . '' In December 2002 , George W. sought counsel from the elder Bush regarding Iraq and informed him of `` my efforts to rally the Saudis , Jordanians , Turks , and others in the Middle East '' . Following the fall of Baghdad , Bush praised George W. in an April 2003 email to the incumbent president . In a September 14 , 2003 interview with BBC , Bush stated his support for a continuation of his son 's war against terrorism and the US was in a better state in terms of protecting itself from terrorism than two years prior . While visiting Houston VA Medical Center on December 17 , Bush told reporters of his satisfaction with the capture of Saddam Hussein . President and Mrs. Bush attended the state funeral of Ronald Reagan in June 2004 , and of Gerald Ford in January 2007 . One month later , he was awarded the Ronald Reagan Freedom Award in Beverly Hills , California , by former First Lady Nancy Reagan .

He and Clinton appeared together in television ads in 2005 , encouraging aid for victims of Hurricane Katrina and the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami .

Obama presidency In June 2009 , Bush came out in support for Sonia Sotomayor to receive fair hearings in her nomination for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court . `` She was called by somebody a racist once . That 's not right . I mean , that 's not fair . It does n't help the process . You 're out there name - calling . So let them decide who they want to vote for and get on with it . '' In October 2009 , Bush criticized the rampant criticism of the current times , reflecting that he did not receive such `` day in and day out '' during his presidency and named Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow of MSNBC as examples ; he called the two `` sick puppies .

who was the 41st president of the united states of america
[ "George Herbert Walker Bush (born June 12, 1924) is an American politician who served as the 41st President of the United States from 1989 to 1993. Prior to assuming the presidency, Bush served as the 43rd Vice President of the United States from 1981 to 1989. A member of the Republican Party, he had previously been a Congressman, Ambassador and Director of Central Intelligence. During his career in public service, he was known simply as George Bush; since 2001, he has often been referred to as \"George H. W. Bush\", \"Bush 41\", or \"George Bush Senior\" in order to distinguish him from his eldest son, George W. Bush, the 43rd president of the United States. He is the nation's oldest living president and vice president, as well as the longest-lived president in history.\n" ]

'' James Poniewozik of Time Magazine was upbeat , stating that `` Neff is amiably charming , Dillahunt and Plimpton give their characters a realism that belies the pilot 's often - contemptuous jokes , and maybe 20 % of the first episode shows a sweet - heartedness that rises above the easy white - trash humor .

( September 2008 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) `` I 'll Be Seeing You '' Song Published 1938 Composer ( s ) Sammy Fain Lyricist ( s ) Irving Kahal `` I 'll Be Seeing You '' is a popular song , with music by Sammy Fain and lyrics by Irving Kahal . Published in 1938 , it was inserted into the Broadway musical Right This Way , which closed after fifteen performances . In the musical it was performed by the singer Tamara Drasin , who had a few years earlier introduced `` Smoke Gets in Your Eyes '' . The song is a jazz standard , and has been covered by many musicians . The musical theme has emotional power , and was much loved during World War II , when it became an anthem for those serving overseas ( both British and American soldiers ) . The lyrics begin , in Bert Ambrose 's and Vera Lynn 's recorded versions , with a preamble : Cathedral bells were tolling and our hearts sang on Was it the spell of Paris or the April dawn ? Who knows if we shall meet again ? But when the morning chimes ring sweet again ... I 'll be seeing you in all the old familiar places As the song develops , the words take a jaunty commonplace of casual farewell and transform it by degrees , to climax with And when the night is new I 'll be looking at the moon But I 'll be seeing you The resemblance between the main tune 's first four lines and a passage within the theme of the last movement of Gustav Mahler 's Third Symphony ( 1896 ) was pointed out by Deryck Cooke in 1970 .

( March 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Featured throughout the 1944 movie also titled I 'll Be Seeing You , starring Ginger Rogers and Joseph Cotten ( when it was performed by the off - screen voice of Louanne Hogan ) , the recording by Bing Crosby became a hit that year , reaching number one for the week of July 1 . Later the song became notably associated with Liberace , as the theme music to his television show of the 1950s . In 1956 , Jackie Gleason 's character , Ralph Kramden , referenced the song in an episode of The Honeymooners in which Kramden experienced an early exit on the game show , The $99,000 Answer , and refused to leave the stage . The song was heard in an episode of the 1960s spy spoof Get Smart , when the main character had a high - tech trumpet that could play any tune , just by speaking the title into the mouthpiece . The Anne Shelton version of the song was aptly used in the 1979 film Yanks , starring Richard Gere , a World War II story set in England in 1943 - 44 . In a 1987 episode of Designing Women , appropriately titled ' I 'll Be Seeing You ' , Jean Smart 's character Charlene dreams that the cast is back in the World War II era ; Charlene performs the song herself and the Bing Crosby version is also featured . It was also played in the 1989 Woody Allen film Crimes and Misdemeanors ; in the end credits of the 1990 film Misery ( Liberace 's rendition ) ; in the 1992 movie Shining Through ; in two episodes of Star Trek : Deep Space Nine ; in the 1999 documentary Beyond the Mat ( when the Rosemary Clooney version is heard ) , in the 2004 film The Aviator ( sung by Martha Wainwright ) , and the Jimmy Durante version is heard in the 2004 film The Notebook as the song for Noah and Allie . It was featured and performed by Anne Shelton in `` Dance with the Dead '' , a 2006 episode of Midsomer Murders , which was set near an old World War II airfield . It was also played in the closing credits for the final ( until 2011 ) episode of Beavis and Butt - head ; in the 2010 season 4 episodes of Eureka ( `` Founder 's Day '' `` A New World '' and `` I 'll Be Seeing You '' ) . On the final episode of The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson which was aired on May 22 , 1992 , Doc Severinsen and the NBC Orchestra closed the show with it , as it was one of Carson 's favorite songs . During the 2009 Academy Awards presentation , Queen Latifah sang the song during the `` In Memoriam '' tribute to members of the motion picture industry who had died during the previous year , which was unusual because the In Memoriam tribute was previously traditionally unaccompanied . On October 26 , 2014 , the song was played as part of a video tribute to Robin Williams at AT&T Park , before Game 5 of the World Series between the San Francisco Giants and the Kansas City Royals . On her 2016 album Encore : Movie Partners Sing Broadway , Barbra Streisand performs `` I 'll Be Seeing You '' ( combined with `` I 've Grown Accustomed to Her Face '' from the 1954 Lerner & Loewe musical My Fair Lady ) , as a duet with actor Chris Pine .

Coneheads
Coneheads - wikipedia Coneheads This article is about the comedy sketch . For the 1993 movie , see Coneheads ( film ) . For the insects named `` conehead '' , see Conocephalus , Copiphorini , and Protura . For other uses , see Conehead ( disambiguation ) . This article needs additional citations for verification . Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( May 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The Coneheads was a recurring sketch on Saturday Night Live ( SNL ) about a family of aliens with bald conical heads . It originated in the 1977 premiere on January 15th ( episode 35 : season 2 episode 11 ) and starred Dan Aykroyd as father Beldar , Jane Curtin as mother Prymaat , and Laraine Newman as daughter Connie . It was later made into the movie . Contents ( hide ) 1 Summary 2 Strange behaviors 3 Conceptual origins 4 Music 5 Other formats 6 SNL appearances 7 Licensed usage 8 See also 9 References 10 External links Summary ( edit ) The Coneheads are an alien family , natives of the planet Remulak , who find themselves stranded on Earth . The Coneheads ' most distinguishing feature is that , as their name implies , the tops of their heads are shaped like large cones . It is unclear if `` Conehead '' is the name of their race or just their surname , but in their interactions with humans , it is used in the latter sense . When questioned by Earth neighbors as to their strange behavior , they invariably reply that they are from France , Remulak being the purported name of their home village . With the exception of Agent Seedling and his assistant in the 1993 feature - length version , they are never suspected of being extraterrestrial aliens by anyone who encounters them , even when accidentally referring to their neighbors as `` Earthlings '' . Much of the humor is derived from this clash between their odd behavior and appearance , and the casual acceptance of the Coneheads by those they encounter . Strange behaviors ( edit ) Coneheads have much larger appetites than an average human . They eat large amounts of food during meals , announcing `` Consume mass quantities ! '' They drink entire six packs of beer at once , and smoke whole packs of cigarettes at a time . They also consume foods that are inedible to humans , including cleaning fluid , pencil shavings and insulation . On Halloween in 1977 ( specifically , the October 29 , 1977 , SNL episode ) , a neighbor complains about the Coneheads ' choice of trick - or - treat handouts : six - packs and fried eggs . The Coneheads have a very fast , nasal , monotone speech and humorously strange language patterns , using needlessly technical dialogue . They refer to food as `` consumables '' , and say `` I summon you '' to ask to speak to another person . The phrase , `` Maintain low tones , '' is used towards Connie by Beldar in the film and in the original 1977 sketch . The somewhat popular term parental unit also comes from the sketches . When highly upset , some Coneheads emit the term , `` Meps ! '' Coneheads rub their cones together as a sign of affection ( `` honing their cones '' ) at which point a bizarre , theremin - like noise is emitted , presumably from the cones themselves . They also play a game involving tossing `` senso - rings '' over each other 's cones , which is somehow sexual in nature , and is considered taboo for the underaged Connie to play . Conceptual origins ( edit ) Dan Aykroyd said he developed the idea for the Coneheads based on the Moai , the mysterious and ancient stone statues of Easter Island , which have similarly conical heads , and the people of the land of Points from Harry Nilsson 's fable The Point ! . Dan Aykroyd also mentioned in an interview that he drew inspiration from the film This Island Earth where the very tall foreheads of the aliens go largely unnoticed by humans . The conehead costume is highly reminiscent of the `` clown blanc '' costume used in French circuses for more than a century . Music ( edit ) Frank Zappa wrote a song based on the sketches , titled `` Conehead '' . It appeared on his 1981 album You Are What You Is . When he hosted SNL , Zappa also appeared in a Coneheads sketch as a man dating Connie , where he makes note that he prefers French women . In the music video for Cyndi Lauper 's `` Girls Just Wanna Have Fun '' , Beldar shows up in Cyndi 's bedroom . Lorne Michaels was involved in the making of the video . Other formats ( edit ) The concept was turned into a Rankin / Bass animated special , The Coneheads , in 1983 , and a live - action film , Coneheads , in 1993 , with Aykroyd and Curtin reprising their roles in both . Michelle Burke took over the role of Connie in the film , with Newman appearing as Connie 's aunt on Remulak . Marvel Comics produced a comic book limited series , with all original stories set after the events of the film . The feature film was licensed to Playmates Toys and a line of action figures were created , designed by the development team from Pangea Corporation .

A second Conehead State Farm commercial is set on their spaceship . When the microwave breaks , the Coneheads ( Aykroyd , Curtin and Newman ) invoke their State Farm representative by singing the company 's jingle . The agent assures them they saved money on their policy , but then notices they are in space and not in France , where the Coneheads are supposedly from , so the Coneheads sing the jingle again , but add `` in France ! '' and they all end up sitting at a table outside a French bistro , with the Eiffel Tower in the background . The Coneheads are the fourth SNL sketch to appear in State Farm commercials , following the Richmeister , the Super Fans , and Hans and Franz .

The series explored the trials of well - to - do engineer and bachelor Bill Davis ( Brian Keith ) as he attempted to raise his brother 's orphaned children in his luxury New York City apartment . Davis ' traditional English gentleman 's gentleman , Mr. Giles French ( Sebastian Cabot ) , also had adjustments to make as he became saddled with the responsibility of caring for 15 - year - old Cissy ( Kathy Garver ) and the 6 - year - old twins , Jody ( Johnny Whitaker ) and Buffy ( Anissa Jones ) . Family Affair ran for 138 episodes in five seasons . The show was created and produced by Edmund Hartmann and Don Fedderson , also known for My Three Sons and The Millionaire .

A wealthy bachelor who often dates socialites , Bill lives in a large apartment on East 62 Street off Fifth Avenue , in Manhattan , and has a quintessential gentleman 's gentleman , Giles French , for a valet . His quiet lifestyle is turned upside - down when his two nieces and nephew move in . Bill 's brother Bob and sister - in - law Mary had died in an automobile accident a year prior to the premiere episode ( the DVD collection 's notes mistakenly state `` tragic plane accident '' ) . Their children -- 15 - year - old Cissy and her young twin siblings , Buffy and Jody -- had been dispersed among relatives in Terre Haute for that year , but none of them wanted to continue raising the children , so they all attempted to give the responsibility to Bill . `` Uncle Bill '' is not keen on the idea at first , but the children endear themselves to him . First , comes Buffy , followed by Jody and , finally , Cissy . Mr. French is initially mortified by the situation , becoming effectively the children 's nanny on top of his valet duties . As time passes they all become a family , albeit an accidental one . When Sebastian Cabot became ill , Giles ' brother , Nigel `` Niles '' French ( John Williams ) was introduced . He worked for the Davis family for nine episodes in 1967 , while Giles was said to be touring with the Queen in the Commonwealth countries . In the last season , Bill hires a part - time housekeeper , Emily Turner ( Nancy Walker ) , to assist Mr. French . Various other characters were also seen regularly , including several acquaintances of Mr. French 's who are in service ( most notably Miss Faversham , played by Heather Angel ) , colleagues of Bill 's , and friends of Cissy 's . Production ( 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 . ( September 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) As Don Fedderson 's other program , My Three Sons , had done for Fred MacMurray , Family Affair used a 60 - day production schedule to accommodate Brian Keith . All of his scenes for the season would be shot in two 30 - day blocks , while his co-stars would fill in after the actor 's work was completed . This enabled Fedderson to harness actors like Keith and MacMurray into television commitments , while still enabling each to make motion pictures . As a result , each season had a single director for each of the 30 - odd scripts . Due to the popularity of the series with girls , Buffy 's doll , `` Mrs. Beasley '' ( which she often carried with her ) , was marketed as a Mattel talking toy in the United States . Mattel went on to produce two additional dolls , as well , patterned after Buffy : the `` Tutti '' - sized Buffy and larger `` Small Talk Buffy '' ( talking doll ) , both of which featured accompanying miniature Mrs. Beasley dolls . Opening ( edit ) The theme song was composed by veteran television composer Frank DeVol . The opening featured credits appearing over a kaleidoscope - patterned background . There were several episodes opening with Sebastian Cabot saying , `` Good evening , so nice of you to join us . '' and closing the episode saying , `` It 's been very good of you to watch and we do hope to see you again next week on Family Affair '' .

The battle took place on October 7 , 1780 , 9 miles ( 14 km ) south of the present - day town of Kings Mountain , North Carolina in what is now rural Cherokee County , South Carolina , where the Patriot militia defeated the Loyalist militia commanded by British Major Patrick Ferguson of the 71st Foot . Ignoring the participation of Ferguson , the battle has been described as `` the war 's largest all - American fight '' . Ferguson had arrived in North Carolina in early September 1780 to recruit troops for the Loyalist militia and protect the flank of Lord Cornwallis ' main force . Ferguson issued a challenge to the rebel militias to lay down their arms or suffer the consequences . In response , the Patriot militias led by Benjamin Cleveland , James Johnston , William Campbell , John Sevier , Joseph McDowell and Isaac Shelby rallied for an attack on Ferguson . Receiving intelligence on the oncoming attack , Ferguson decided to retreat to the safety of Lord Cornwallis ' army . However , the Patriots caught up with the Loyalists at Kings Mountain near the border with South Carolina . Achieving a complete surprise , the Patriot militiamen attacked and surrounded the Loyalists , inflicting heavy casualties . After an hour of battle , Ferguson was fatally shot while trying to break the rebel line , after which his men surrendered . Some Patriots gave no quarter until the rebel officers re-established control over their men ; they were said to be seeking revenge for alleged killings by Banastre Tarleton 's militiamen at the Battle of Waxhaws , under the slogan `` Remember Tarleton 's Quarter . '' Although victorious , the Patriots had to retreat quickly from the area for fear of Cornwallis ' advance . Later they executed nine Loyalist prisoners after a short trial . The battle was a pivotal moment in the Southern campaign . The surprising victory of the American patriot militia over the Loyalists came after a string of rebel defeats at the hands of Lord Cornwallis , and greatly raised the Patriots ' morale . With Ferguson dead and his Loyalist militia destroyed , Cornwallis was forced to abandon his plan to invade North Carolina and retreated into South Carolina . Contents ( hide ) 1 Prelude to battle 1.1 Battle of Musgrove 's Mill 1.2 Pursuit of Shelby 1.3 Muster at Sycamore Shoals 2 Battle 3 Aftermath 4 See also 5 Footnotes 6 References 7 Further reading 8 External links Prelude to Battle ( edit ) Major Patrick Ferguson was appointed Inspector of Militia on May 22 , 1780 . His task was to march to the old Tryon County area , raise and organize Loyalist units from the Tory population of the Carolina Backcountry , and protect the left flank of Lord Cornwallis ' main body at Charlotte , North Carolina . Battle of Musgrove 's Mill ( edit ) On the morning of August 18 , 1780 two hundred mounted Patriot partisans under joint command of Colonels Isaac Shelby , James Williams , and Elijah Clarke prepared to raid a Loyalist camp at Musgrove 's Mill , which controlled the local grain supply and guarded a ford of the Enoree River . The Battle of Musgrove Mill , August 19 , 1780 occurred near a ford of the Enoree River , near the present - day border between Spartanburg , Laurens and Union Counties in South Carolina . The Patriots anticipated surprising a garrison of about an equal number of Loyalists , but a local farmer informed them that the Tories had recently been reinforced by about a hundred Loyalist militia and two hundred provincial regulars on their way to join British Major Patrick Ferguson . The whole battle took perhaps an hour and within that period , sixty - three Tories were killed , an unknown number wounded , and seventy were taken prisoner . The Patriots lost only about four dead and twelve wounded . Some Whig leaders briefly considered attacking the Tory stronghold at Ninety Six , South Carolina ; but they hurriedly dispersed after learning that a large Patriot army had been defeated at Camden three days previous . Pursuit of Shelby ( edit ) Shelby 's forces covered sixty miles with Ferguson in hot pursuit before making their escape . In the wake of General Horatio Gates ' blundering defeat at Camden , the victory at Musgrove Mill heartened the Patriots and served as further evidence that the South Carolina backcountry could not be held by the Tories . Shelby and his Overmountain Men crossed back over the Appalachian Mountains and retreated back into the territory of the Watauga Association at Sycamore Shoals in present day Elizabethton , Tennessee , and by the next month on September 25 , 1780 , Colonels Shelby , John Sevier , and Charles McDowell and their 600 Overmountain Men had combined forces with Col. William Campbell and his 400 Virginia men at the Sycamore Shoals muster in advance of the October 7 , 1780 Battle of Kings Mountain north of present day Blacksburg , South Carolina in North Carolina . On September 2 , Ferguson and the militia he had already recruited marched west in pursuit of Shelby toward the Appalachian Mountain hill country on what is now the Tennessee / North Carolina border . By September 10 , Ferguson had established a base camp at Gilbert Town , North Carolina and , according to Shelby issued a challenge to the Patriot leaders to lay down their arms or he would `` lay waste to their country with fire and sword . '' North Carolina Patriot militia leaders Isaac Shelby and John Sevier , from the Washington District ( now northeast Tennessee ) , met and agreed to lead their militiamen against him . Muster at Sycamore Shoals ( edit ) Patriot leaders also sent word to a Virginia militia leader , William Campbell , asking him to join them at Sycamore Shores. Campbell called on Benjamin Cleveland to bring his Wilkes County , North Carolina militia to the rendezvous . The detachments of Shelby , Sevier and Campbell were met by 160 North Carolina militiamen led by Charles McDowell and his brother Joseph . Campbell 's cousin , Arthur Campbell , brought 200 more Virginians . About 1,100 volunteers from southwest Virginia and today 's northeast Tennessee , known as the `` Overmountain Men '' because they had settled into the wilderness west of the Appalachian Mountains ridgeline , mustered at the rendezvous on September 25 , 1780 , at Sycamore Shoals near the modern city of Elizabethton , Tennessee . Their movement had been made possible by easing tensions with the Cherokee , thanks to diplomacy by Benjamin Cleveland 's brother - in - law , Indian agent Joseph Martin . The Overmountain Men crossed Roan Mountain the next day , and proceeded in a southerly direction for about thirteen days in anticipation of fighting the British Loyalist forces . By September 30 , they had reached Quaker Meadows , the Burke County , North Carolina home of the McDowell brothers , where they united with Benjamin Cleveland and 350 men . Now 1400 strong , the Patriots marched to South Mountain , North Carolina , The five colonels leading the Patriot force ( Shelby , Sevier , William Campbell , Joseph McDowell and Cleveland ) chose William Campbell as the nominal commander , but they agreed that all five would act in council to command their combined army . Gathering of Overmountain Men at Sycamore Shoals , a black and white reproduction of Lloyd Branson 's 1915 depiction of the Patriot militias joining up Meanwhile , two deserters from the Patriot militia reached Patrick Ferguson and informed him of the large body of militia advancing towards him . Waiting three days for reasons that are still unclear , Ferguson ordered a retreat to Lord Cornwallis and the British main forces in Charlotte , sending a message to Cornwallis requesting reinforcements . The request did not reach Cornwallis until one day after the battle . On October 1 , Ferguson reached North Carolina 's Broad River , where he issued another pugnacious public letter , calling the local militia to join him lest they be `` pissed upon by a set of mongrels '' ( the Overmountain Men ) . On October 4 , the Patriot militia reached Ferguson 's former camp at Gilbert Town , where thirty Georgia militiamen joined them , anxious for action . On October 6 , they reached Cowpens , South Carolina , ( site of the future Battle of Cowpens ) , where they received word that Ferguson was east of them , heading towards Charlotte and Cornwallis . They hurried to catch him . Rebel spies reported Ferguson was making camp on Kings Mountain with some 1200 men . Ferguson , rather than pushing on until he reached Charlotte and safety ( just a day 's march away ) , camped at Kings Mountain and sent Cornwallis another letter asking for reinforcements . Kings Mountain is one of many rocky forested hills in the upper Piedmont , near the border between North and South Carolina . It is shaped like a footprint with the highest point at the heel , a narrow instep , and a broad rounded toe . The Loyalists camped on a ridge west of Kings Pinnacle , the highest point on Kings Mountain . Needing to hurry , the Patriot militia put 900 men on horseback and rode for Kings Mountain . They left immediately , marching through the night of the 6th and morning of the 7th , even though the rain never stopped . By sunrise of the 7th , they forded the Broad River , fifteen miles from Kings Mountain . By early afternoon they arrived and immediately surrounded the ridge and attacked . Battle ( edit ) Kings Mountain Battle layout Don Troiani 's depiction - `` Colonel Cleveland 's War Prize Oct. 7 , 1780 '' . Col. Benjamin Cleveland returning to Wilkesboro on Patrick Ferguson 's white horse after his horse , Roebuck , and Ferguson were killed . The patriots took home drums , weapons and clothes . The other colonels awarded Cleveland with Ferguson 's white horse , which he rode home . Many consider this the greatest symbolic `` War Prize '' of the revolution and the turning point of the war . The battle opened about 3 p.m. , when the 900 Patriots ( including John Crockett , father of Davy Crockett ) , approached the steep base of the western ridge . They formed eight detachments of 100 to 200 men each . Ferguson was unaware that the Patriots had caught up to him and his 1,100 men . He was the only regular British soldier in the command , composed entirely of Loyalist Carolina militia , except for the 100 or so red - uniformed Provincials ( enlisted colonials ) from New York . He had not thought it necessary to fortify his camp . The Patriots caught the Loyalists by surprise . Loyalist officer Alexander Chesney later wrote he did n't know the Patriots were anywhere near them until the shooting started . As the screaming Patriots charged up the hill , Captain DePeyster turned to Ferguson and said , `` These things are ominous -- these are the damned yelling boys ! '' Two parties , led by Colonels John Sevier and William Campbell , assaulted the mountains `` heel '' -- the smallest in area , but its highest point . The other detachments , led by Colonels Shelby , Williams , Lacey , Cleveland , Hambright , Winston and McDowell , attacked the main Loyalist position , surrounding the `` ball '' base beside the `` heel '' crest of the mountain . No one in the Patriot army held command once the fighting started . Each detachment fought independently under the previously agreed to plan to surround and destroy the Loyalists . The Patriots crept up the hill and fired from behind rocks and trees . Ferguson rallied his troops and launched a desperate bayonet - charge against Campbell and Sevier . Lacking bayonets , the Patriots ran down the hill and into the woods . Campbell soon rallied his troops , returned to the hill , and resumed firing . Ferguson ordered two more bayonet charges during the battle . This became the pattern of the battle ; the Patriots would charge up the hill , then the Tories would charge down the hill with fixed bayonets , driving the Patriots off the slopes and into the woods . Once the charge was spent and the Tories returned to their positions , the Patriots would reform in the woods , return to the base of the hill , and charge up the hill again . During one of the charges , Colonel Williams was killed , and Colonel McDowell was wounded . Firing was difficult for the Loyalists , since the Patriots constantly moved using cover and concealment to their advantage . Furthermore , the downhill angle of the hill contributed to the Loyalists overshooting their marks . After an hour of combat , Loyalist casualties were heavy . Ferguson rode back and forth across the hill , blowing a silver whistle he used to signal charges . Shelby , Sevier and Campbell reached the top of the hill behind the Loyalist position and attacked Ferguson 's rear . The Loyalists were driven back into their camp , where they began to surrender . Ferguson drew his sword and hacked down any small white flags that he saw popping up , but he appeared to know that the end was near . In an attempt to rally his faltering men , Ferguson shouted out `` Hurrah , brave boys , the day is ours ! '' ( sic ) He gathered a few officers together and tried to cut through the Patriot ring , but Sevier 's men fired a volley and Ferguson was shot and dragged by his horse behind the Patriot line . There he was confronted by an opposing rebel officer , who demanded a surrender from the major . Ferguson shot and killed the man with his pistol in a final act of defiance , but was immediately shot dead by multiple Patriots on the spot . When the Patriots recovered his corpse , they counted seven bullet wounds . Seeing their leader fall , the Loyalists began to surrender . Some Patriots did not want to take prisoners , as they were eager to avenge the Battle of Waxhaws or ' Tarleton 's Quarter , ' in which Banastre Tarleton 's forces killed a sizable number of Abraham Buford 's Continental soldiers after the latter tried to surrender . ( At Waxhaws , Tarleton 's horse was shot , pinning him to the ground and leading his men to believe their commanding officer had been killed under a white flag of surrender . ) Also , other Patriots were seemingly unaware that the Loyalists were trying to surrender . Loyalist Captain Abraham DePeyster , in command after Ferguson was killed , sent out an emissary with a white flag , asking for quarter . For several minutes , the Patriots rejected DePeyster 's white flag and continued firing , many of them shouting , `` Give ' em Tarleton 's Quarter ! '' and `` Give them Buford 's play ! '' A significant number of the surrendering Loyalists were killed and / or wounded including the white flag emissary . When DePeyster sent out a second white flag , a few of the rebel officers , including Campbell and Sevier , ran forward and took control by ordering their men to cease fire . They took about 800 Loyalist prisoners . Aftermath ( edit ) Map spot for Blacksburg , South Carolina The Battle of Kings Mountain lasted 65 minutes . The Loyalists suffered 290 killed , 163 wounded , and 668 taken prisoner . The Patriot militia suffered 28 killed and 60 wounded . The Patriots had to move out quickly for fear that Cornwallis would advance to meet them . Loyalist prisoners well enough to walk were herded to camps several miles from the battlefield . The dead were buried in shallow graves and wounded were left on the field to die . Ferguson 's corpse was later reported to have been desecrated and wrapped in oxhide before burial . Both victors and captives came near to starvation on the march due to a lack of supplies in the hastily organized Patriot army . On October 14 , the retreating Patriot force held drumhead courts - martial of Loyalists on various charges ( treason , desertion from Patriot militias , incitement of Indian rebellion ) . Passing through the Sunshine community in what is now Rutherford County , N.C. , the retreat halted on the property of the Biggerstaff family . Aaron Biggerstaff , a Loyalist , had fought in the battle and been mortally wounded . His brother Benjamin was a Patriot and was being held as a prisoner - of - war on a British ship docked at Charleston , S.C. Their cousin John Moore was the Loyalist commander at the earlier Battle of Ramsour 's Mill ( modern Lincolnton , N.C. ) , in which many of the combatants at Kings Mountain had participated on one side or the other . While stopped on the Biggerstaff land , the rebels convicted 36 Loyalist prisoners . Some were testified against by Patriots who had previously fought alongside them and later changed sides . Nine of the prisoners were hanged before Isaac Shelby brought an end to the proceedings . His decision to halt the executions came after an impassioned plea for mercy from one of the Biggerstaff women , although accounts vary as to whether it was Martha Biggerstaff , Aaron 's wife , or Mary Van Zant Biggerstaff , Benjamin 's wife . Many of the Patriots dispersed over the next few days , while all but 130 of the Loyalist prisoners escaped while being led in single file through woodlands . The column finally made camp at Salem , North Carolina . Kings Mountain was a pivotal moment in the history of the American Revolution . Coming after a series of disasters and humiliations in the Carolinas -- the fall of Charleston and capture of the American army there , the destruction of another American army at the Battle of Camden , the Waxhaws Massacre -- the surprising , decisive victory at Kings Mountain was a great boost to Patriot morale . The Tories of the Carolina back country were broken as a military force . Additionally , the destruction of Ferguson 's command and the looming threat of Patriot militia in the mountains caused Lord Cornwallis to cancel his plans to invade North Carolina ; he instead evacuated Charlotte and retreated to South Carolina . He would not return to North Carolina until early 1781 , when he was chasing Nathanael Greene after the Americans had dealt British forces another defeat at the Battle of Cowpens . In The Winning of the West , Theodore Roosevelt wrote of Kings Mountain , `` This brilliant victory marked the turning point of the American Revolution . '' Thomas Jefferson called it , `` The turn of the tide of success . '' President Herbert Hoover at Kings Mountain said , This is a place of inspiring memories . Here less than a thousand men , inspired by the urge of freedom , defeated a superior force entrenched in this strategic position . This small band of Patriots turned back a dangerous invasion well designed to separate and dismember the united Colonies . It was a little army and a little battle , but it was of mighty portent . History has done scant justice to its significance , which rightly should place it beside Lexington , Bunker Hill , Trenton and Yorktown . In 1931 , the Congress of the United States created the Kings Mountain National Military Park at the site of the battle . The park headquarters is in Blacksburg , South Carolina , and hosts hundreds of thousands of people each year .

who was the american commander at the battle of king's mountain
[ "Patriot leaders also sent word to a Virginia militia leader, William Campbell, asking him to join them at Sycamore Shores.[14] Campbell called on Benjamin Cleveland to bring his Wilkes County, North Carolina militia to the rendezvous.[15] The detachments of Shelby, Sevier and Campbell were met by 160 North Carolina militiamen led by Charles McDowell and his brother Joseph.[15] Campbell's cousin, Arthur Campbell, brought 200 more Virginians.[16] About 1,100 volunteers from southwest Virginia and today's northeast Tennessee, known as the \"Overmountain Men\" because they had settled into the wilderness west of the Appalachian Mountains ridgeline, mustered at the rendezvous on September 25, 1780, at Sycamore Shoals near the modern city of Elizabethton, Tennessee. Their movement had been made possible by easing tensions with the Cherokee, thanks to diplomacy by Benjamin Cleveland's brother-in-law, Indian agent Joseph Martin.[17][18][19] The Overmountain Men crossed Roan Mountain the next day, and proceeded in a southerly direction for about thirteen days in anticipation of fighting the British Loyalist forces. By September 30, they had reached Quaker Meadows, the Burke County, North Carolina home of the McDowell brothers, where they united with Benjamin Cleveland and 350 men.[20] Now 1400 strong, the Patriots marched to South Mountain, North Carolina,[21] The five colonels leading the Patriot force (Shelby, Sevier, William Campbell, Joseph McDowell and Cleveland) chose William Campbell as the nominal commander, but they agreed that all five would act in council to command their combined army.[22]" ]

List of Test cricket records
List of Test cricket records - wikipedia List of Test cricket records Jump to : navigation , search Donald Bradman , holder of several Test batting records including highest batting average Sachin Tendulkar is the leading run - scorer and century maker in Test cricket Muttiah Muralitharan is the highest wicket - taker in Test cricket Test cricket is played between international cricket teams who are Full Members of the International Cricket Council ( ICC ) . Unlike One Day Internationals , Test matches consist of two innings per team , having no limit in their number of overs . Test cricket is first - class cricket , so statistics and records set in Test matches are also counted toward first - class records . The duration of Tests , currently limited to five days , has varied through Test history , ranging from three days to timeless matches . The earliest match now recognised as a Test was played between England and Australia in March 1877 ; since then there have been over 2,000 Tests played by 11 teams . The frequency of Tests has steadily increased partly because of the increase in the number of Test - playing countries , and partly as cricket boards seek to maximise their revenue . Cricket is , by its nature , capable of generating large numbers of records and statistics . This list details the most significant team and individual records in Test cricket . The most successful team in Test cricket , in terms of both wins and win percentage , is Australia , having won 362 of their 773 Tests ( 46.83 % ) . Barring the ICC World XI , a rest of world team which played a single Test against Australia in 2005 , the least successful team are Bangladesh who have struggled since their introduction to Test cricket in 2000 , leading to questioning of their Test status . Australian Donald Bradman , widely considered the greatest batsman of all time , holds several personal and partnership records . He scored the most runs in a series , has the most double centuries and was a part of the record 5th wicket partnership . His most significant record is his batting average of 99.94 . One of cricket 's most famous statistics , it stands almost 40 runs higher than any other batsman 's average . Don Bradman is the only player in the world to have scored 5000 runs against a single opposition : 5028 runs against England . In the Manchester Test of 1956 , England spin bowler Jim Laker took 19 wickets for 90 runs ( 19 -- 90 ) which set not only the Test record for best match figures but also the first - class one . In taking 10 -- 53 in the second innings he became the first bowler to capture all ten wickets in a Test match innings , and his analysis remains the best innings figures . Indian Leg - spinner Anil Kumble is the only other bowler to have taken 10 wickets in an innings , claiming 10 -- 74 against Pakistan in 1999 . West Indies batsman Brian Lara has the highest individual score in Test cricket : he scored 400 not out against England in 2004 to surpass the innings of 380 by Matthew Hayden six months earlier . Lara had held the record before Hayden , with a score of 375 against England 10 years earlier . Pakistan 's Misbah - ul - Haq holds the record of the fastest test half century scoring 50 runs from 21 balls . The record for the fastest test century is held by New Zealand 's Brendon McCullum who scored 100 runs from 54 balls in his final test match . The trend of countries to increase the number of Test matches they play means that the aggregate lists are dominated by modern players . Sri Lankan spinner Muttiah Muralitharan became the highest Test wicket - taker in December 2007 , when he passed Shane Warne 's total of 708 wickets . Within a year , the equivalent batting record of highest run - scorer had also changed hands : Sachin Tendulkar surpassed the tally of 11,953 runs by Brian Lara . The record for most dismissals by a wicket - keeper is held by Mark Boucher of South Africa while the record for most catches by a fielder is held by Rahul Dravid .

Listing notation Team notation ( 300 -- 3 ) indicates that a team scored 300 runs for three wickets and the innings was closed , either due to a successful run chase or if no playing time remained ( 300 -- 3 d ) indicates that a team scored 300 runs for three wickets , and declared its innings closed ( 300 ) indicates that a team scored 300 runs and was all out Batting notation ( 100 ) indicates that a batsman scored 100 runs and was out ( 100 * ) indicates that a batsman scored 100 runs and was not out Bowling notation ( 5 -- 100 ) indicates that a bowler has captured 5 wickets while conceding 100 runs Currently playing indicates a current Test cricketer Seasons Cricket is played during the summer months in most countries . Domestic cricket seasons in Australia , New Zealand , South Africa , India , Pakistan , Sri Lanka , Bangladesh , Zimbabwe and the West Indies may therefore span two calendar years , and are by convention said to be played in ( e.g. ) `` 2008 -- 09 '' . A cricket season in England is described as a single year . e.g. `` 2009 '' . An international Test series may be for a much shorter duration , and Cricinfo treats this issue by stating `` any series or matches which began between May and September of any given year will appear in the relevant single year season and any that began between October and April will appear in the relevant cross-year season '' . In the record tables , a two - year span generally indicates that the record was set within a domestic season in one of the above named countries .

[ "The most successful team in Test cricket, in terms of both wins and win percentage, is Australia, having won 362 of their 773 Tests (46.83%). Barring the ICC World XI, a rest of world team which played a single Test against Australia in 2005, the least successful team are Bangladesh who have struggled since their introduction to Test cricket in 2000, leading to questioning of their Test status.[8][9][10]" ]

Bert and Ernie
Bert and Ernie - wikipedia Bert and Ernie Jump to : navigation , search Ernie ( left ) , with his rubber duckie , and Bert ( right ) Bert and Ernie are two Muppets who appear together in numerous skits on the popular U.S. children 's television show Sesame Street . Originated by Frank Oz and Jim Henson , the characters are currently performed by Muppeteers Eric Jacobson and Peter Linz ; Oz occasionally performed Bert between 2000 and 2006 . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Ernie 3 Bert 4 In popular culture 5 Internationally 6 See also 7 References 8 External links History ( edit ) Bert and Ernie were built by Don Sahlin from a simple design scribbled by Jim Henson , creator of The Muppets . Initially , Henson performed Bert and Oz performed Ernie , but after just one day of rehearsal , they switched characters . The original idea was to show that even though two people can have totally different characteristics , they can still be good friends . According to writer Jon Stone , the relationship between Bert and Ernie reflected the real - life friendship between Henson and Oz . According to A&E 's Biography , Bert and Ernie were virtually the only Muppets to appear in the Sesame Street pilot episode , which was screen tested to a number of families in July 1969 . Their brief appearance was the only part of the pilot that tested well , so it was decided that not only should Muppet characters be the `` stars '' of the show , but would also interact with the human characters , something that was not done in the pilot . An ordinary Bert and Ernie skit involves Ernie coming up with a hare - brained idea , and Bert trying to talk him out of it , ending with Bert losing his temper and Ernie remaining unaware of the results of his own bad idea . For example , in one sketch , Ernie tells Bert he started to collect ice cubes the day before , and put them under the electric blanket overnight . When he shows the ice cubes to Bert , he finds out that they have melted into water . Bert knows what happened , and tries to tell Ernie that his ice cubes melted because of the electric blanket , but Ernie takes this to mean that a fish from the ocean came into the apartment and melted his ice cubes , and vows to find the ( non-existent ) fish that melted them . The age of the characters is unclear . Sesame Street Live performer Taylor Morgan said in an interview that `` I just kind of try to think like a 6 -- year -- old or a 7 -- year -- old , because that 's how old Bert is . '' Ernie ( edit ) Main article : Ernie ( Sesame Street ) Ernie was originally performed by Jim Henson . From 1990 to 2014 , Muppeteer Steve Whitmire took on the role of Ernie ( following the death of Henson in 1990 ) . In 2014 , Billy Barkhurst took on the role of Ernie ; currently , the character is performed by Peter Linz . Ernie is a `` live hand puppet '' , meaning that while operating the head of the puppet with his right hand , the puppeteer inserts his left hand into a T shaped sleeve , capped off with a glove that matches the fabric `` skin '' of the puppet , thus `` becoming '' the left arm of the puppet . A second puppeteer usually provides the right arm . Ernie 's performance of `` Rubber Duckie , '' wherein he sings affectionately about his squeaking toy duck and the joy it brings him during bath time , became a modest mainstream hit , reaching No. 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 in September 1970 . Bert ( edit ) Main article : Bert ( Sesame Street ) Bert was initially performed by Frank Oz . Since 2001 , Muppeteer Eric Jacobson has been phased in as Bert 's primary performer after Oz retired from most of his Muppet duties to focus on directing ( Oz , however , did continue to perform the character occasionally ) . Bert is an `` hand rod puppet '' , which means that while the puppeteer 's right arm is inserted into Bert 's head to control the mouth , the puppeteer 's left hand uses rods to control the arms of the puppet . In popular culture ( 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 . ( June 2013 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Bert and Ernie are among a handful of Sesame Street - specific Muppets to also appear on The Muppet Show , making occasional cameo appearances , such as at the end of The Muppets Valentine Show , the 1974 pilot episode for the series . While several other Muppets featured on Sesame Street such as Kermit the Frog would crossover into the other program , Bert and Ernie were primarily confined to the occasional cameo . Bert and Ernie live together in an apartment in the basement of 123 Sesame Street . Despite sleeping in separate beds , they share the same bedroom , which has led to some speculation that they are a representation of gay lovers . This is denied by Sesame Workshop , and some of Bert 's interactions with female characters appear to show that he is attracted to women : serenading Connie Stevens in the Some Enchanted Evening segment of a first - season episode of The Muppet Show , and recording a song about his girlfriend , I Want to Hold Your Ear , which was released on several albums . But the idea of Bert and Ernie as a couple is sufficiently widespread that it has been used as the basis of jokes on the shows Saturday Night Live , American Dad ! , Modern Family , The Simpsons , Friends , The Middle , Family Guy , and Supernatural . Sportscaster Jim Rome has received emails and phone calls from listeners to his radio program on the subject , and has expressed disgust with them . More recently , The New Yorker magazine chose an image of Bert and Ernie by artist Jack Hunter , titled Moment of Joy , as the cover of their July 8 , 2013 publication , which covers the Supreme Court decisions on the Defense of Marriage Act and California 's Proposition 8 . From March 30 , 1997 , to ca . 2002 , the parody website `` Bert is Evil '' displayed Bert in a number of doctored photographs , implicating him in crimes ranging from the Assassination of John F. Kennedy to those of Jack the Ripper . A similar image from another source and featuring Bert conferring with Osama bin Laden was mistakenly included by a Bangladeshi print shop on a series of protest signs in October 2001 and 2002 . The German comedy sketch series Freitag Nacht News had a recurring sketch called Bernie und Ert created by Attik Kargar , who performed the puppets and supplied the voice of Bernie . Bernie and Ert are an obscene parody of Ernie and Bert , and especially re-dubbed on Sesamstrasse . The puppets had no nose , one eye each , and swapped hairstyles . Each sketch focused on such topics as crime , drug abuse and Friday the 13th . In February 2003 , Bernie and Ert were dropped from the series because of legal concerns ; however , older episodes circulate on the internet . They also appeared in a Freitag Nacht News sequence called Bullzeye in a sketch called `` Popo Club '' . Bernie & Ert wore black masks and leather jackets , disguised as Unknown No. 1 and Unknown No. 2 respectively , with another character named Winfred . This skit became popular that it resulted in more skits called `` Popo Club '' featuring Unknown No. 1 & 2 , with occasional appearances by Winfred . Characters named Bert and Ernie appear in the film It 's a Wonderful Life as a taxi driver and a policeman , respectively , but those behind Sesame Street claim that it is merely a coincidence . Jerry Juhl , a writer on many Henson related projects , said , `` Despite his many talents , Jim had no memory for details like this . He knew the movie , of course , but would not have remembered the police officer and the cabdriver . '' This is referenced in the Sesame Street special Elmo Saves Christmas , where due to Elmo 's wish , Christmas repeats itself every day and `` It 's a Wonderful Life '' plays on television continuously . The part where Bert and Ernie are referenced is toward the end , where the two ( who do n't speak ) are walking by the television and stop short when they hear their names mentioned . In April 2013 , a pair of high energy neutrinos detected at the IceCube Neutrino Observatory , possibly of extragalactic origin , have been nicknamed `` Bert '' and `` Ernie '' . The British soap opera EastEnders has confirmed that characters Bert and Ernie Moon are named after the Muppets characters .

They are called `` Anis w Badr '' Brazil , Vila Sésamo , Bert is `` Beto '' , and Ernie is `` Ênio '' . They 're called `` Ênio e Beto '' .

However , the Tigers rebounded by winning four straight games , all blowouts , and were ranked # 10 going into a game at LSU , in which Auburn was heavily favored . Auburn built a 20 -- 0 lead in the first half , only to see it slip away in the second half as the Auburn Tigers fell to LSU 27 -- 23 . The Tigers then defeated conference foes Arkansas and Texas A&M in blowouts before facing AP ranked # 2 Georgia on November 11 , by which point the Tigers had climbed back up to # 10 in the AP Poll . The Tigers dominated the Bulldogs 40 -- 17 , and moved up to # 6 in the polls as a result . After a tune - up game against Louisiana -- Monroe , the # 6 Tigers faced # 1 ranked Alabama , with the winner going to the SEC Championship . It was the Tigers who prevailed 26 -- 14 , setting up a rematch against Georgia . Georgia The Bulldogs clinched the SEC Eastern Division after beating rival South Carolina on November 4 . It was the earliest a spot in the SEC Championship Game had been clinched since 2009 . The Bulldogs had a great regular season , going 11 -- 1 . In the second game of the year , the Bulldogs defeated Notre Dame 20 -- 19 on a late field goal . Later in September , they defeated # 17 ranked Mississippi State 31 -- 3 , solidifying themselves as title contenders . After victories over lesser conference foes , the Bulldogs had a chance to clinch the SEC East with a victory over Florida . They dominated the Gators 42 -- 7 . After a win over South Carolina , the Bulldogs were ranked # 1 in the CFP poll and # 2 in the AP Poll . However , that week they were defeated handily by Auburn for their first loss of the year . The Bulldogs bounced back and defeated Kentucky and rival Georgia Tech to set up a rematch with Auburn . Game summary ( edit ) Georgia and Auburn met in the SEC Championship Game , the first ever in the Mercedes - Benz Stadium , for a rematch of the regular - season contest . Auburn scored an early touchdown on their first drive of the game , going 75 yards on 10 plays . The Auburn defense forced Georgia to punt on their first drive after 7 plays . Both teams would go three - and - out on their next drives . Early into the second quarter , Auburn drove into the red zone before Jarrett Stidham fumbled the ball as he was sacked by Davin Bellamy . Roquan Smith recovered the fumble , and Georgia subsequently scored their first touchdown of the game on a 7 play , 83 - yard drive . Auburn was forced to go three - and - out afterwards , and Georgia responded with another scoring drive . After a potential touchdown pass was erased by a controversial `` pick play '' call , Georgia settled for a 27 - yard field goal to take their first lead of the game . Neither team would score for the remainder of the first half . Georgia received the ball at the beginning of the first half , but they were forced to punt after 5 plays . Auburn would once again march into the red zone , but this time , Daniel Carlson 's 31 - yard field goal attempt was blocked by DaQuan Hawkins - Muckle and recovered by Dominick Sanders . Both teams traded punts on their next drives . Late into the third quarter , Georgia extended their lead to 13 - 7 with a 35 - yard field goal . On Auburn 's next drive , Lorenzo Carter forced Kerryon Johnson to fumble the ball , and Roquan Smith again recovered the fumble .

Internet Explorer version history
Internet Explorer version History - wikipedia Internet Explorer version History Jump to : navigation , search Internet Explorer ( formerly Microsoft Internet Explorer and Windows Internet Explorer , commonly abbreviated IE or MSIE ) is a series of graphical web browsers developed by Microsoft and included as part of the Microsoft Windows line of operating systems , starting in 1995 . The first version of Internet Explorer , ( at that time named Microsoft Internet Explorer , later referred to as Internet Explorer 1 ) made its debut on 16 August 1995 . It was a reworked version of Spyglass Mosaic , which Microsoft licensed from Spyglass Inc. , like many other companies initiating browser development . It was first released as part of the add - on package Plus ! for Windows 95 that year . Later versions were available as free downloads , or in service packs , and included in the OEM service releases of Windows 95 and later versions of Windows . Originally Microsoft Internet Explorer only ran on Windows using Intel 80386 ( IA - 32 ) processor . Current versions also run on x64 , 32 - bit ARMv7 , PowerPC and IA - 64 . Versions on Windows have supported MIPS , Alpha AXP and 16 - bit and 32 - bit x86 but currently support only 32 - bit or 64 - bit . A version exists for Xbox 360 called Internet Explorer for Xbox using PowerPC and an embedded OEM version called Pocket Internet Explorer , later rebranded Internet Explorer Mobile , which is currently based on Internet Explorer 9 and made for Windows Phone using ARMv7 , Windows CE , and previously , based on Internet Explorer 7 for Windows Mobile . It remains in development alongside the desktop versions . Internet Explorer has supported other operating systems with Internet Explorer for Mac ( using Motorola 68020 + , PowerPC ) and Internet Explorer for UNIX ( Solaris using SPARC and HP - UX using PA - RISC ) , which have been discontinued . Since its first release , Microsoft has added features and technologies such as basic table display ( in version 1.5 ) ; XMLHttpRequest ( in version 5 ) , which adds creation of dynamic web pages ; and Internationalized Domain Names ( in version 7 ) , which allow Web sites to have native - language addresses with non-Latin characters . The browser has also received scrutiny throughout its development for use of third - party technology ( such as the source code of Spyglass Mosaic , used without royalty in early versions ) and security and privacy vulnerabilities , and both the United States and the European Union have alleged that integration of Internet Explorer with Windows has been to the detriment of other browsers . The latest stable release has an interface allowing for use as both a desktop application , and as a Windows 8 application . Contents ( hide ) 1 OS compatibility 1.1 Windows 1.2 Mac OS 1.3 Others 2 Early versions 2.1 Microsoft Internet Explorer 2.1. 1 Features 2.2 Microsoft Internet Explorer 2 2.3 Microsoft Internet Explorer 3 2.4 Microsoft Internet Explorer 4 2.5 Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 2.6 Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 2.7 Windows Internet Explorer 7 3 Release history for desktop Windows OS version 4 See also 5 References 6 Further reading OS compatibility ( edit ) See also : Internet Explorer Mobile IE versions , over time , have had widely varying OS compatibility , ranging from being available for many platforms and several versions of Windows to only a few versions of Windows . Many versions of IE had some support for an older OS but stopped getting updates . The increased growth of the Internet in the 1990s and 2000s means that current browsers with small market shares have more total users than the entire market early on . For example , 90 % market share in 1997 would be roughly 60 million users , but by the start of 2007 90 % market share would equate to over 900 million users . The result is that later versions of IE6 had many more users in total than all the early versions put together . The release of IE7 at the end of 2006 resulted in a collapse of IE6 market share ; by February 2007 , market version share statistics showed IE6 at about 50 % and IE7 at 29 % . Regardless of the actual market share , the most compatible version ( across operating systems ) of IE was 5. x , which had Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X , Unix , and most Windows versions available and supported for a short period in the late 1990s ( although 4. x had a more unified codebase across versions ) . By 2007 , IE had much narrower OS support , with the latest versions supporting only Windows XP Service Pack 2 and above . Internet Explorer 5.0 , 5.5 , 6.0 , and 7.0 ( Experimental ) have also been unofficially ported to the Linux operating system from the project IEs4Linux .

It was a reworked version of Spyglass Mosaic which Microsoft had licensed , like many other companies initiating browser development , from Spyglass Inc . It came with the purchase of Microsoft Plus ! for Windows 95 and with at least some OEM releases of Windows 95 without Plus ! . It was installed as part of the Internet Jumpstart Kit in Plus ! for Windows 95 . The Internet Explorer team began with about six people in early development . Microsoft Internet Explorer 1.5 was released several months later for Windows NT and added support for basic HTML table rendering . By including it free of charge on their operating system , they did not have to pay royalties to Spyglass Inc , resulting in a lawsuit and a US $ 8 million settlement on January 22 , 1997 . Although not included , this software can also be installed on the original release of Windows 95 . Microsoft Internet Explorer ( that is version 1. x ) is no longer supported , or available for download from Microsoft . However , archived versions of the software can be found on various websites . Features ( edit ) Microsoft Internet Explorer came with an install routine replacing a manual installation required by many of the existing web browsers . Microsoft Internet Explorer 2 ( edit ) Main article : Internet Explorer 2 Microsoft Internet Explorer 2 was released for Windows 95 , Windows NT 3.51 , and NT 4.0 on 22 November 1995 ( following a 2.0 beta in October ) . It featured support for JavaScript , SSL , cookies , frames , VRML , RSA , and Internet newsgroups . Version 2 was also the first release for Windows 3.1 and Macintosh System 7.0. 1 ( PPC or 68k ) , although the Mac version was not released until January 1996 for PPC , and April for 68k . Version 2.1 for the Mac came out in August 1996 , although by this time , Windows was getting 3.0 . Version 2 was included in Windows 95 OSR 1 and Microsoft 's Internet Starter Kit for Windows 95 in early 1996 . It launched with twelve languages , including English , but by April 1996 , this was expanded to 24 , 20 , and 9 for Win 95 , Win 3.1 , and Mac , respectively . The 2.0 i version supported double - byte character - set . Microsoft Internet Explorer 3 ( edit ) Main article : Internet Explorer 3 Market share history snapshot for February 2005 IE4 : 0.07 % IE5 : 6.17 % IE6 : 82.79 % Microsoft Internet Explorer 3 was released on 13 August 1996 and went on to be much more popular than its predecessors . Microsoft Internet Explorer 3 was the first major browser with CSS support , although this support was only partial . It also introduced support for ActiveX controls , Java applets , inline multimedia , and the PICS system for content metadata . Version 3 also came bundled with Internet Mail and News , NetMeeting , and an early version of the Windows Address Book , and was itself included with Windows 95 OSR 2 . Version 3 proved to be the first more popular version of Internet Explorer , bringing with it increased scrutiny . In the months following its release , a number of security and privacy vulnerabilities were found by researchers and hackers . This version of Internet Explorer was the first to have the ' blue e ' logo . The Internet Explorer team consisted of roughly 100 people during the development of three months . The first major IE security hole , the Princeton Word Macro Virus Loophole , was discovered on 22 August 1996 in IE3 . Backwards compatibility was handled by allowing users who upgraded to IE3 to still use the previous version , because the installation renamed the old version ( incorporating the old version number ) and stored it in the same directory . Microsoft Internet Explorer 4 ( edit ) Main article : Internet Explorer 4 Market share history snapshot for October 2008 IE4 : 0.01 % IE5 : 0.20 % IE6 : 37.01 % IE7 : 35.81 % Microsoft Internet Explorer 4 , released in September 1997 , deepened the level of integration between the web browser and the underlying operating system . Installing version 4 on Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0 and choosing Windows Desktop Update would result in the traditional Windows Explorer being replaced by a version more akin to a web browser interface , as well as the Windows desktop itself being web - enabled via Active Desktop . The integration with Windows , however , was subject to numerous packaging criticisms ( see United States v. Microsoft ) . This option was no longer available with the installers for later versions of Internet Explorer , but was not removed from the system if already installed . Microsoft Internet Explorer 4 introduced support for Group Policy , allowing companies to configure and lock down many aspects of the browser 's configuration as well as support for offline browsing . Internet Mail and News was replaced with Outlook Express , and Microsoft Chat and an improved NetMeeting were also included . This version was also included with Windows 98 . New features that allowed users to save and retrieve posts in comment forms were added , but they are not used today . Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.5 offered new features such as easier 128 - bit encryption . It also offered a dramatic stability improvement over prior versions , particularly the 68k version , which was especially prone to freezing . Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 ( edit ) Main article : Internet Explorer 5 Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 , launched on 18 March 1999 , and subsequently included with Windows 98 Second Edition and bundled with Office 2000 , was another significant release that supported bi-directional text , ruby characters , XML , XSLT , and the ability to save web pages in MHTML format . IE5 was bundled with Outlook Express 5 . Also , with the release of Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 , Microsoft released the first version of XMLHttpRequest , giving birth to Ajax ( even though the term `` Ajax '' was not coined until years later ) . It was the last with a 16 - bit version . Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 , a bug fix version included in Windows 2000 , was released in December 1999 . Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 followed in July 2000 , improving its print preview capabilities , CSS and HTML standards support , and developer APIs ; this version was bundled with Windows ME . However , version 5 was the last version for Mac and UNIX . Version 5.5 was the last to have Compatibility Mode , which allowed Microsoft Internet Explorer 4 to be run side by side with the 5. x . The IE team consisted of over 1,000 people by 1999 , with funding on the order of US $100 million per year . Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 ( edit ) Main article : Internet Explorer 6 Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 was released on 27 August 2001 , a few months before Windows XP . This version included DHTML enhancements , content restricted inline frames , and partial support of CSS level 1 , DOM level 1 , and SMIL 2.0 . The MSXML engine was also updated to version 3.0 . Other new features included a new version of the Internet Explorer Administration Kit ( IEAK ) , Media bar , Windows Messenger integration , fault collection , automatic image resizing , P3P , and a new look - and - feel that was in line with the Luna visual style of Windows XP , when used in Windows XP . Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1 offered several security enhancements and coincided with the Windows XP SP1 patch release . In 2002 , the Gopher protocol was disabled , and support for it was dropped in Internet Explorer 7 . Internet Explorer 6.0 SV1 came out on 6 August 2004 for Windows XP SP2 and offered various security enhancements and new colour buttons on the user interface . Internet Explorer 6 updated the original ' blue e ' logo to a lighter blue and more 3D look . Microsoft now considers IE6 to be an obsolete product and recommends that users upgrade to Internet Explorer 8 . Some corporate IT users have not upgraded despite this , in part because some still use Windows 2000 , which will not run Internet Explorer 7 or above . Microsoft has launched a website , http://ie6countdown.com/ , with the goal of getting Internet Explorer 6 usage to drop below 1 percent worldwide . Its usage is 6 % globally as of October 2012 , and now about 6.3 % since June 2013 , and depending on the country , the usage differs heavily : while the usage in Norway is 0.1 % , it is 21.3 % in the People 's Republic of China . On 3 January 2012 , Microsoft announced that usage of IE6 in the United States had dropped below 1 % . Windows Internet Explorer 7 ( edit ) Main article : Internet Explorer 7 Windows Internet Explorer 7 was released on 18 October 2006 . It includes bug fixes , enhancements to its support for web standards , tabbed browsing with tab preview and management , a multiple - engine search box , a web feeds reader , Internationalized Domain Name support ( IDN ) , Extended Validation Certificate support , and an anti-phishing filter . With IE7 , Internet Explorer has been decoupled from the Windows Shell -- unlike previous versions , the Internet Explorer ActiveX control is not hosted in the Windows Explorer process , but rather runs in a separate Internet Explorer process . It is included with Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 , and is available for Windows XP Service Pack 2 and later , and Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 and later . The original release of Internet Explorer 7 required the computer to pass a Windows Genuine Advantage validation check prior to installing , but on October 5 , 2007 , Microsoft removed this requirement . As some statistics show , by mid-2008 , Internet Explorer 7 market share exceeded that of Internet Explorer 6 in a number of regions . For newer versions see : Internet Explorer .

( July 2018 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The Cat in the Hat Theatrical release poster Directed by Bo Welch Produced by Brian Grazer Screenplay by Alec Berg Jeff Schaffer David Mandel Based on The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss Starring Mike Myers Alec Baldwin Kelly Preston Dakota Fanning Spencer Breslin Narrated by Victor Brandt Music by David Newman Cinematography Emmanuel Lubezki Edited by Don Zimmerman Production company Imagine Entertainment DreamWorks Pictures Distributed by Universal Pictures Release date November 21 , 2003 ( 2003 - 11 - 21 ) Running time 82 minutes Country United States Language English Budget $109 million Box office $133.9 million The Cat in the Hat ( also known as Dr. Seuss ' The Cat in the Hat ) is a 2003 American comedy film directed by Bo Welch . A film adaptation of the Dr. Seuss book of the same name , it stars Mike Myers in the title role of the Cat in the Hat , and Dakota Fanning as Sally . Sally 's brother ( who is unnamed in the book and the 1971 TV special ) , Conrad , is portrayed by Spencer Breslin . The film is the second feature - length Dr. Seuss adaptation after the 2000 holiday film How the Grinch Stole Christmas . The idea was originally conceived in 2001 , with Tim Allen initially cast as the Cat , but he dropped his role due to work on The Santa Clause 2 , and the role was later given to Myers . Filming took place in California for three months . While the basic plot parallels that of the book , the film filled out its 82 minutes by adding new subplots and characters significantly different from the original story . Released on November 21 , 2003 , in the United States , the film grossed $134 million worldwide , but was panned by critics , largely for its family - unfriendly humor and innuendos , while the visual aspects were mostly praised . Following the film 's release , Seuss ' widow , Audrey Geisel , decided not to allow any further live - action adaptations of Seuss ' works to be produced , and as a result , a planned sequel based on The Cat in the Hat Comes Back was scrapped .

Joan works for neat - freak Hank Humberfloob , as a real estate agent , and is hosting an office party at her house . One day , she is called back to the office , leaving the kids with Mrs. Kwan , an elderly tired babysitter ( after the previous one quit ) , and forbidding them to enter the living room , which is being kept pristine for the upcoming party . Joan is also dating their next - door neighbor , Larry Quinn , much to Conrad 's dismay . Larry is constantly on the lookout for any mischief Conrad may be up to , as he wants nothing more than to send him away to military school , as Conrad has earned the reputation of `` hot - headed trouble - maker '' , while his sister is characterized as `` perfect and well - behaved '' . Once their mother leaves , Sally and Conrad meet a humanoid , oversized talking cat in a hat in their house . The Cat reveals he wants them to learn to have fun , but the children 's pet fish does n't want the Cat around when Joan is away . The Cat then leaves a trail of destruction across the house . In the process , he releases two trouble - making things , Thing 1 and Thing 2 , from a crate that he explains is actually a portal to another world . The Cat tells Conrad that he only has one rule : never open the crate , then allows the Things to have fun , but they make a mess out of the house . Despite the Cat 's warning , Conrad picks the lock on the crate . When the crate 's lock attaches itself to the collar of the family dog , Nevins , Cat and the kids must go find him and the lock . They drive a super-powered car which Cat names it S.L.O.W. ( Super Luxurious Omnidirectional Whatchamajigger ) in search of Nevins and use Cat 's magic hat . Conrad realizes that the Things always do the opposite to what they are told , and that this can be used to their advantage and has them stall Joan . Meanwhile , Larry is revealed to be an unemployed slob with dentures , and is in financial debt , though claiming that he is a successful businessman in the hopes of marrying Joan for her money . Larry sees Nevins running across the street and tracks down Joan to tell her , but Things 1 and 2 have stalled her on the road , posing as police officers . Larry goes back to the house , telling Joan to meet him there . By the time the kids and the Cat ( and Larry ) return to the house with the lock , a huge mess spills from the unlocked crate and enters the house , seemingly killing Larry in the process . They navigate their way through the oversized house and find the crate while cleaning up . The house is returned to its normal proportions but then immediately falls apart . The Cat confesses to the kids that he planned the whole day , including making not opening the crate his one rule , as he knew Conrad could not resist . The kids angrily tell the Cat to leave the house . Conrad prepares to face the consequences when Joan comes home , but Sally says she will share the blame . The Cat , having overheard this , happily returns to clean up the mess with a great cleaning contraption . named D.I.R.T. ( Dynamic Industrial Renovating Tractormajigger ) Afterwards The Cat says goodbye and departs as Joan is arriving . Larry returns , revealing he survived when all was restored , thinking he has busted the kids , but when Joan sees the clean house ( and a messy Larry ) , she does not believe Larry and dumps him . After the successful party , Joan spends time with her children and the Cat finishes narrating . The film ends as he and his Things decide to go on a vacation and walk off into the sunset . Cast ( edit ) Mike Myers as the Cat in the Hat , a tall , anthropomorphic , wise - cracking cat with a Brooklyn accent who wears a special hat which reveals many magical abilities .

Production ( edit ) Development ( edit ) DreamWorks Pictures acquired rights to the original book in 1997 . However , production did not originally start until after the 2000 Christmas / comedy film How the Grinch Stole Christmas , based on another Dr. Seuss book of the same name , became a commercial success . Brian Grazer , who was the producer of The Grinch , stated , `` Because we grew up with these books , and because they have such universal themes and the illustrations ignite such fantasy in your mind as a child -- the aggregation of all those feelings -- it leaves an indelible , positive memory . And so when I realized I had a chance to convert first The Grinch and then , The Cat in the Hat , into movies , I was willing to do anything to bring them to the screen . '' Grazer contacted Bo Welch over the phone with the offer to direct the film , and he accepted . When production began , songs written by Randy Newman were dropped because they were deemed inferior . Newman 's cousin , David Newman , composed the score for the film . Although Welch and a publicist for Myers denied it , several people said Myers had considerable input into the film 's direction , telling some of the cast ( co-stars Baldwin and Preston ) how to perform their scenes . Casting ( edit ) Tim Allen was originally planned to play the role of the Cat . The script would be originally based on a story conceived by Allen , who admitted that as a child he was afraid of Seuss ' `` mischievous feline '' babysitter . Allen stated , `` My dream is to give it the edge that scared me . '' However , producers did not commission a screenplay until late February 2001 , when Alec Berg , Jeff Schaffer , and Dave Mandel ( who were also writers on Seinfeld ) were hired to write the script ( replacing the original draft of the film that was written a few years before ) , so the film would not be ready to shoot before the deadline . Allen was also committed to shooting Disney 's The Santa Clause 2 , which was also delayed because Allen wanted a script rewrite . Due to a scheduling conflict with The Santa Clause 2 , he dropped out his role . In March 2002 , the role of the Cat was given to Mike Myers , even though he had an argument with Grazer about starring in a cancelled Saturday Night Live skit named Dieter . Myers stated in an interview that he was a long - time fan of the original Dr. Seuss book , and that it was the first book he ever read . Makeup and visual effects ( edit ) Makeup for the character was designed by Steve Johnson . The Cat costume was made of angora and human hair and was fitted with a cooling system . To keep Myers cool during the outdoor shoots , a portable air conditioner was available that connected a hose to the suit between shots . The tail and ears were battery operated . The Fish was considered somewhat of a unique character for Rhythm & Hues ( responsible for some of the effects and animation in such films as Cats & Dogs , The Lord of the Rings : The Return of the King , and Scooby - Doo ) , in that the character had no shoulders , hips or legs , so all of the physical performance had to emit from the eyes , head and fin motion . Sean Hayes , who provided the voice for the Fish , found the role significantly different from his usual on - camera jobs ; he did not know how the final animation would look , and all of his work took place alone in a sound booth . Filming ( edit ) Prior to filming , giant props for the film were stolen from the set . Local police found the props vandalized in a mall car park in Pomona , California . The props were covered with graffiti . No arrests had been made , and filming was to start the next week . Principal photography took place mostly in California from October 2002 until January 2003 . The neighborhood and the town centre was filmed in a rural valley near Simi Valley , where 24 houses ( each 26 - feet square and 52 - feet tall ) were constructed . The downtown area outdoor shots were filmed along a Pomona street where a number of antique and gift shops are located . The community decided not to redecorate after filming ended , so the surreal paint scheme and some of the signage could still be seen as it appears in the film . Because of so much smog in the area , the sky had to be digitally replaced with the cartoon - like sky and colours of the background had to be digitally fixed .

It features 16 deleted scenes , 20 outtake scenes , almost a dozen featurettes , and a `` Dance with the Cat '' tutorial to teach kids a Cat in the Hat dance . On February 7 , 2012 , the film was released on Blu - ray . Reception ( edit ) Box Office ( edit ) The Cat in the Hat opened theatrically on November 21 , 2003 and earned $38,329,160 in its opening weekend , ranking first in the North American box office . The film ended its theatrical run on March 18 , 2004 , having grossed $101,149,285 domestically and $32,811,256 overseas for a worldwide total of $133,960,541 . Critical response ( edit ) Review aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 10 % approval rating based on reviews from 158 critics . The website 's consensus reads : `` Filled with double entendres and potty humor , this Cat falls flat . '' On Metacritic , the film has a score of 19 / 100 based on 37 reviews , indicating `` overwhelming dislike '' . Peter Travers of Rolling Stone gave the film one star , stating , `` Cat , another over-blown Hollywood raid on Dr. Seuss , has a draw on Mike Myers , who inexplicably plays the Cat by mimicking Bert Lahr in The Wizard of Oz . '' Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun - Times gave the film 2 out of 4 stars . Although he praised the production design , he considered the film to be `` all effects and stunts and CGI and prosthetics , with no room for lightness and joy '' . Ebert and co-host Richard Roeper gave the film `` Two Thumbs Down '' . Roeper said of Myers ' performance that `` Maybe a part of him was realizing as the movie was being made that a live - action version of The Cat in the Hat just was n't a great idea . '' Ebert had the same problem with the film that he had with How the Grinch Stole Christmas , in that `` If there is one thing I 've learned from these two movies is that we do n't want to see Jim Carrey as a Grinch , and we do n't want to see Mike Myers as a cat . These are talented comedians , let 's see them do their stuff , do n't bury them under a ton of technology . '' Concerns were also raised over the PG rating of the film with some critics , stating that it should have instead been rated PG - 13 in relation to its high amount of adult content . Leonard Maltin in his Movie Guide gave it one and a half stars out of four saying that the `` Brightly colored adaptation of the beloved rhyming book for young children is a betrayal of everything Dr. Seuss ever stood for , injecting potty humor and adult ( wink - wink ) jokes into a mixture of heavy - handed slapstick and silliness . '' Maltin also claimed that the film 's official title which included Dr Seuss ' The Cat in the Hat was `` an official insult '' . However , Jeffrey Lyons from NBC - TV enjoyed the film and considered it `` enormously funny '' . Other reviews that were actually positive and gave an appreciation to the film were Variety , considering it `` attractively designed , energetically performed and , above all , blessedly concise , this adaptation of one of the most popular American kids ' books walks the safe side of surrealism with its fur - flying shenanigans . The younger the viewers , the better reactions are bound to be , while grownups will sit in varying states of bemusement '' . Baldwin addressed complaints the film received because of its dissimilarity to the source material . He expressed a belief that a film is `` an idea about something '' and that because Dr. Seuss ' work is so unique , making a feature - length film out of one of his stories would entail taking liberties and making broad interpretations .

Scrapped sequel ( edit ) On the day of the film 's release , Mike Myers stated in an interview that he expected a sequel where the kids meet the Cat again , since there was a sequel to the book . A sequel based on The Cat in the Hat Comes Back was in development , a little more than a month before the film 's release . In February 2004 , Dr. Seuss ' widow , Audrey Geisel , said she would never allow any further live action adaptations of her husband 's works , and the sequel was eventually cancelled . Animated version ( edit ) On March 15 , 2012 , a computer animated Cat in the Hat adaptation was announced by Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment , following the success of The Lorax . On January 24 , 2018 , Warner Animation Group announced that they have picked up the rights for the animated Cat in the Hat reboot movie , along with many of Seuss ' works .

Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( June 2013 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) A solstice is an event occurring when the Sun appears to reach its most northerly or southerly excursion relative to the celestial equator on the celestial sphere . Two solstices occur annually , on about 21 June and 21 December . The seasons of the year are directly connected to both the solstices and the equinoxes . The term solstice can also be used in a broader sense , as the day when this occurs . The day of the solstice in either hemisphere has either the most sunlight of the year ( summer solstice ) or the least sunlight of the year ( winter solstice ) for any place other than the Equator . Alternative terms , with no ambiguity as to which hemisphere is the context , are June solstice and December solstice , referring to the months of year in which they take place . At latitudes outside the tropics , the summer solstice marks the day when the Sun appears to reach its highest point in the sky . Within the tropics , the Sun appears directly overhead at solar noon days to 3 months before and after the summer solstice . This means the subsolar point occurs twice each year at any tropical latitude . The word solstice is derived from the Latin sol ( `` sun '' ) and sistere ( `` to stand still '' ) , because at the solstices , the Sun 's declination `` stands still '' ; that is , the seasonal movement of the Sun 's daily path ( as seen from Earth ) stops at a northern or southern limit before reversing direction . Contents ( hide ) 1 Definitions and frames of reference 2 Relationship to seasons 3 Cultural aspects 3.1 Ancient Greek names and concepts 3.2 English names 3.3 Solstice terms in East Asia 3.4 Solstice celebrations 3.5 Solstice determination 4 In the constellations 5 Solstices on other planets 6 See also 7 References 8 External links Definitions and frames of reference ( edit ) For an observer on the North Pole , the Sun reaches the highest position in the sky once a year in June . The day this occurs is called the June solstice day . Similarly , for an observer on the South Pole , the Sun reaches the highest position on the December solstice day . When it is the summer solstice at one Pole , it is the winter solstice on the other . The Sun 's westerly motion never ceases as Earth is continually in rotation . However , the Sun 's motion in declination comes to a stop at the moment of solstice . In that sense , solstice means `` sun - standing '' . This modern scientific word descends from a Latin scientific word in use in the late Roman Republic of the 1st century BC : solstitium . Pliny uses it a number of times in his Natural History with a similar meaning that it has today . It contains two Latin - language morphemes , sol , `` sun '' , and - stitium , `` stoppage '' . The Romans used `` standing '' to refer to a component of the relative velocity of the Sun as it is observed in the sky . Relative velocity is the motion of an object from the point of view of an observer in a frame of reference . From a fixed position on the ground , the Sun appears to orbit around Earth . To an observer in an inertial frame of reference , planet Earth is seen to rotate about an axis and revolve around the Sun in an elliptical path with the Sun at one focus . Earth 's axis is tilted with respect to the plane of Earth 's orbit and this axis maintains a position that changes little with respect to the background of stars . An observer on Earth therefore sees a solar path that is the result of both rotation and revolution . A solargraph taken from the Atacama Pathfinder Experiment at the Llano de Chajnantor Observatory in the southern hemisphere . This is a long - exposure photograph , with the image exposed for six months in a direction facing east of north , from mid-December 2009 until the southern winter solstice in June 2010 . The sun 's path each day can be seen from right to left in this image across the sky ; the path of the following day runs slightly lower , until the day of the winter solstice , whose path is the lowest one in the image . The component of the Sun 's motion seen by an earthbound observer caused by the revolution of the tilted axis -- which , keeping the same angle in space , is oriented toward or away from the Sun -- is an observed daily increment ( and lateral offset ) of the elevation of the Sun at noon for approximately six months and observed daily decrement for the remaining six months . At maximum or minimum elevation , the relative yearly motion of the Sun perpendicular to the horizon stops and reverses direction . Outside of the tropics , the maximum elevation occurs at the summer solstice and the minimum at the winter solstice . The path of the Sun , or ecliptic , sweeps north and south between the northern and southern hemispheres . The days are longer around the summer solstice and shorter around the winter solstice . When the Sun 's path crosses the equator , the length of the nights at latitudes + L ° and - L ° are of equal length . This is known as an equinox . There are two solstices and two equinoxes in a tropical year . Relationship to seasons ( edit ) Main article : Season The seasons occur because the Earth 's axis of rotation is not perpendicular to its orbital plane ( the `` plane of the ecliptic '' ) but currently makes an angle of about 23.44 ° ( called the `` obliquity of the ecliptic '' ) , and because the axis keeps its orientation with respect to an inertial frame of reference . As a consequence , for half the year the Northern Hemisphere is inclined toward the Sun while for the other half year the Southern Hemisphere has this distinction . The two moments when the inclination of Earth 's rotational axis has maximum effect are the solstices . At the June solstice the subsolar point is further north than any other time : at latitude 23.44 ° north , known as the Tropic of Cancer . Similarly at the December solstice the subsolar point is further south than any other time : at latitude 23.44 ° south , known as the Tropic of Capricorn . The subsolar point will cross every latitude between these two extremes exactly twice per year . Also during the June solstice , places on the Arctic Circle ( latitude 66.56 ° north ) will see the Sun just on the horizon during midnight , and all places north of it will see the Sun above horizon for 24 hours . That is the midnight sun or midsummer - night sun or polar day . On the other hand , places on the Antarctic Circle ( latitude 66.56 ° south ) will see the Sun just on the horizon during midday , and all places south of it will not see the Sun above horizon at any time of the day . That is the polar night . During the December Solstice , the effects on both hemispheres are just the opposite . This also allows the polar sea ice to increase its annual growth and temporary extent at a greater level due to lack of direct sunlight . Illumination of Earth by Sun at the northern solstice .

Far left : northern solstice Two images showing the amount of reflected sunlight at southern and northern summer solstices , respectively ( watts / m2 ) . Cultural aspects ( edit ) Ancient Greek names and concepts ( edit ) The concept of the solstices was embedded in ancient Greek celestial navigation . As soon as they discovered that the Earth is spherical they devised the concept of the celestial sphere , an imaginary spherical surface rotating with the heavenly bodies ( ouranioi ) fixed in it ( the modern one does not rotate , but the stars in it do ) . As long as no assumptions are made concerning the distances of those bodies from Earth or from each other , the sphere can be accepted as real and is in fact still in use . The Ancient Greeks use the term `` ηλιοστάσιο '' ( heliostāsio ) , meaning stand of the Sun . The stars move across the inner surface of the celestial sphere along the circumferences of circles in parallel planes perpendicular to the Earth 's axis extended indefinitely into the heavens and intersecting the celestial sphere in a celestial pole . The Sun and the planets do not move in these parallel paths but along another circle , the ecliptic , whose plane is at an angle , the obliquity of the ecliptic , to the axis , bringing the Sun and planets across the paths of and in among the stars. * Cleomedes states : The band of the Zodiac ( zōdiakos kuklos , `` zodiacal circle '' ) is at an oblique angle ( loksos ) because it is positioned between the tropical circles and equinoctial circle touching each of the tropical circles at one point ... This Zodiac has a determinable width ( set at 8 ° today ) ... that is why it is described by three circles : the central one is called `` heliacal '' ( hēliakos , `` of the sun '' ) . The term heliacal circle is used for the ecliptic , which is in the center of the zodiacal circle , conceived as a band including the noted constellations named on mythical themes . Other authors use Zodiac to mean ecliptic , which first appears in a gloss of unknown author in a passage of Cleomedes where he is explaining that the Moon is in the zodiacal circle as well and periodically crosses the path of the Sun . As some of these crossings represent eclipses of the Moon , the path of the Sun is given a synonym , the ekleiptikos ( kuklos ) from ekleipsis , `` eclipse '' . English names ( edit ) The two solstices can be distinguished by different pairs of names , depending on which feature one wants to stress . Summer solstice and winter solstice are the most common names , referring to the seasons they are associated with . However , these can be ambiguous since the northern hemisphere 's summer is the southern hemisphere 's winter , and vice versa . The Latinate names estival solstice ( summer ) and hibernal solstice ( winter ) are sometimes used to the same effect , as are midsummer and midwinter . June solstice and December solstice refer to the months of year in which they take place , with no ambiguity as to which hemisphere is the context . They are still not universal , however , as not all cultures use a solar - based calendar where the solstices occur every year in the same month ( as they do not in the Islamic calendar and Hebrew calendar , for example ) . Northern solstice and southern solstice indicate the hemisphere of the Sun 's location . The northern solstice is in June , when the Sun is directly over the Tropic of Cancer in the Northern Hemisphere , and the southern solstice is in December , when the Sun is directly over the Tropic of Capricorn in the Southern Hemisphere . These terms can be used unambiguously for other planets . First point of Cancer and first point of Capricorn refer to the astrological signs that the sun is entering . Due to the precession of the equinoxes , however , the constellations where the solstices are currently located are Taurus and Sagittarius , respectively . Solstice terms in east asia ( edit ) Main articles : Xiazhi and Dongzhi ( solar term ) The traditional East Asian calendars divide a year into 24 solar terms ( 節氣 ) . Xiàzhì ( pīnyīn ) or Geshi ( rōmaji ) ( Chinese and Japanese : 夏至 ; Korean : 하지 ( Haji ) ; Vietnamese : Hạ chí ; literally : `` summer 's extreme '' ) is the 10th solar term , and marks the summer solstice . It begins when the Sun reaches the celestial longitude of 90 ° ( around June 21 ) and ends when the Sun reaches the longitude of 105 ° ( around July 7 ) . Xiàzhì more often refers in particular to the day when the Sun is exactly at the celestial longitude of 90 ° . Dōngzhì ( pīnyīn ) or Tōji ( rōmaji ) ( Chinese and Japanese : 冬至 ; Korean : 동지 ( Dongji ) ; Vietnamese : Đông chí ; literally : `` winter 's extreme '' ) is the 22nd solar term , and marks the winter solstice . It begins when the Sun reaches the celestial longitude of 270 ° ( around December 22 ) and ends when the Sun reaches the longitude of 285 ° ( around January 5 ) . Dōngzhì more often refers in particular to the day when the Sun is exactly at the celestial longitude of 270 ° . The solstices ( as well as the equinoxes ) mark the middle of the seasons in East Asian calendars . Here , the Chinese character 至 means `` extreme '' , so the terms for the solstices directly signify the summits of summer and winter .

( June 2012 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) 2005 Summer Solstice Sunrise over Stonehenge The term solstice can also be used in a wider sense , as the date ( day ) that such a passage happens . The solstices , together with the equinoxes , are connected with the seasons . In some languages they are considered to start or separate the seasons ; in others they are considered to be centre points ( in England , in the Northern Hemisphere , for example , the period around the northern solstice is known as midsummer , and Midsummer 's Day is June 24 , about three days after the solstice itself ) . Similarly December 25 is the start of the Christmas celebration , and is the day the Sun begins to return to the Northern Hemisphere . Many cultures celebrate various combinations of the winter and summer solstices , the equinoxes , and the midpoints between them , leading to various holidays arising around these events . For the southern solstice , Christmas is the most popular holiday to have arisen . In addition , Yalda , Saturnalia , Karachun , Hanukkah , Kwanzaa and Yule ( see winter solstice for more ) are also celebrated around this time . For the northern solstice , Christian cultures celebrate the feast of St. John from June 23 to 24 ( see St. John 's Eve , Ivan Kupala Day , Midsummer ) , while Neopagans observe Midsummer , also known as Litha . For the vernal ( spring ) equinox , several spring - time festivals are celebrated , such as the Persian Nowruz , the observance in Judaism of Passover and in most Christian churches of Easter . The autumnal equinox has also given rise to various holidays , such as the Jewish holiday of Sukkot . At the midpoints between these four solar events , cross-quarter days are celebrated . In the southern tip of South America , the Mapuche people celebrate We Tripantu ( the New Year ) a few days after the northern solstice , on June 24 . Further north , the Atacama people formerly celebrated this date with a noise festival , to call the Sun back . Further east , the Aymara people celebrate their New Year on June 21 . A celebration occurs at sunrise , when the sun shines directly through the Gate of the Sun in Tiwanaku . Other Aymara New Year feasts occur throughout Bolivia , including at the site of El Fuerte de Samaipata . In the Hindu calendar , two sidereal solstices are named Makara Sankranti which marks the start of Uttarayana and Karka Sankranti which marks the start of Dakshinayana . The former occurs around January 14 each year , while the latter occurs around July 14 each year . These mark the movement of the Sun along a sidereally fixed zodiac ( precession is ignored ) into Makara , the zodiacal sign which corresponds with Capricorn , and into Karkat , the zodiacal sign which corresponds with Cancer , respectively . The Amundsen -- Scott South Pole Station celebrates every year on June 21 a midwinter party , to celebrate that the Sun is at its lowest point and coming back . The Fremont Solstice Parade takes place every summer solstice in Fremont , Seattle , Washington in the United States . The reconstructed Cahokia Woodhenge , a large timber circle located at the Mississippian culture Cahokia archaeological site near Collinsville , Illinois , is the site of annual equinox and solstice sunrise observances . Out of respect for Native American beliefs these events do not feature ceremonies or rituals of any kind . Solstice determination ( edit ) Unlike the equinox , the solstice time is not easy to determine . The changes in solar declination become smaller as the sun gets closer to its maximum / minimum declination . The days before and after the solstice , the declination speed is less than 30 arcseconds per day which is less than ​ ⁄ of the angular size of the sun , or the equivalent to just 2 seconds of right ascension . This difference is hardly detectable with indirect viewing based devices like sextant equipped with a vernier , and impossible with more traditional tools like a gnomon or an astrolabe . It is also hard to detect the changes on sunrise / sunset azimuth due to the atmospheric refraction changes . Those accuracy issues render it impossible to determine the solstice day based on observations made within the 3 ( or even 5 ) days surrounding the solstice without the use of more complex tools . Accounts do not survive but Greek astronomers must have used an approximation method based on interpolation , which is still used by some amateurs . This method consists of recording the declination angle at noon during some days before and after the solstice , trying to find two separate days with the same declination . When those two days are found , the halfway time between both noons is estimated solstice time . An interval of 45 days has been postulated as the best one to achieve up to a quarter - day precision , in the solstice determination . In 2012 , the journal DIO found that accuracy of one or two hours with balanced errors can be attained by observing the sun 's equal altitudes about S = twenty degrees ( or d = about 20 days ) before and after the summer solstice because the average of the two times will be early by q arc minutes where q is ( πe cosA ) / 3 times the square of S in degrees ( e = earth orbit eccentricity , A = earth 's perihelion or sun 's apogee ) , and the noise in the result will be about 41 hours divided by d if the eye 's sharpness is taken as one arc minute . Astronomical almanacs define the solstices as the moments when the sun passes through the solstitial colure , i.e. the times when the apparent geocentric longitude of the sun is equal to 90 ° ( summer solstice ) or 270 ° ( winter solstice ) . In the constellations ( edit ) Using the current official IAU constellation boundaries -- and taking into account the variable precession speed and the rotation of the ecliptic -- the solstices shift through the constellations as follows ( expressed in astronomical year numbering in which the year 0 = 1 BC , − 1 = 2 BC , etc . ) : The northern solstice passed from Leo into Cancer in year − 1458 , passed into Gemini in year − 10 , passed into Taurus in December 1989 , and is expected to pass into Aries in year 4609 . The southern solstice passed from Capricornus into Sagittarius in year − 130 , is expected to pass into Ophiuchus in year 2269 , and is expected to pass into Scorpius in year 3597 . Solstices on other planets ( edit ) Due to the 687 - day orbit of Mars around the Sun ( almost twice that of the Earth ) , the planet experiences its summer and winter solstices at approximately 23 month intervals .

It was broadcast from 12 June to 3 July 1994 airing on the BBC in four 50 - minute episodes . Contents ( hide ) 1 Cast 2 Synopsis 3 Plot 4 Production 5 Media Releases 6 References 7 External links Cast ( edit ) Actor Role Michael Maloney Jasper Pye Leslie Phillips Lord Flamborough Maria Aitken Lady Flamborough Abigail Cruttenden Belinda Cathryn Harrison Chloe Charlotte Williams Matilda Amanda Root Miss Mounsey Gillian Raine Miss Tidy Graham Crowden Professor Pollux David Haig Lionel Virley Stephen Moore Quirk Joe Melia Mr Jones Synopsis ( edit ) Jasper Pye a refined civil servant is sent to the rural Suffolk / Norfolk counties border to close the Office of Output Statistics which has outlived its usefulness . Instead he becomes seduced by the small idyllic world he finds there , making his task rather more difficult than he had imagined . He soon finds himself becoming entangled with the local aristocrat 's three beautiful daughters . Plot ( edit ) Jasper Pye is a polite , honest civil servant who lives with his mother . One night when he hears his girlfriend Deirdre describe him as ' a bore ' at a party , he decides he needs an urgent , radical change in his life . The following morning he heads into the ministry , determined to resign his job and move to Paris to become a painter . Instead he is dissuaded by his superior , who instead wants him to go to Arcady Hall in Suffolk where the Office of Output Statistics , a small government department has been working since 1940 when it was commandeered during the Battle of Britain and overlooked for closure for a number of years , despite its apparent lack of usefulness . Initially reluctant to take the assignment the diffident Jasper is persuaded by his boss . He is told that his remit is essentially to close the place down , though he has an entirely `` free hand '' in the matter . Jasper prepares to leave for the small village of Arcady where Arcady Hall is located . Symbolically he recovers his umbrella which he had shoved into a flowerbed in St James ' Park when planning to abandon the civil service , thinking to himself . `` Well , it was a rather good umbrella , and it might rain '' He catches a train to Arcady , but finds that the branch line that runs there from the neighbouring town had closed four years before . He instead has to walk into the village . He arrives to find Arcady Hall a magnificent sight but seemingly far too large for the small department of three employees who work there . He quickly finds himself the talk of the town , as the ' man from the ministry ' who cuts quite a dash . In particular he strikes up a relationship with each of Lord Flamborough 's daughters . Chloe , the eldest , trapped in an unhappy marriage with her drunken , wayward husband Lionel Virley , her first cousin and heir to the estate . Belinda the flirtatious and uninhibited middle daughter and the wildly gothic romantic youngest , Matilda . When he goes to meet the eccentric Lord Flamborough who , having lost both legs in a train accident whilst working as a driver during the 1926 General Strike , now lives on a steam train on a nearby private railway - the defunct branch line of the title . He appears content to have ceded the day - to - day running of the Hall to Professor Pollux , and having a passion for Trad Jazz ( whilst being an erratic drummer at best ) seems more interested in the fact that Jasper can allegedly dance the Charleston than remarking on any entanglements Pye may have with his daughters . Like everyone else in the village , he seems to take to Jasper , helping to persuade him to stay for the fete that Bank Holiday Monday , being held in aid of `` fallen women '' . He is to be the judge of a competition of ladies ' ankles . He has again disposed of his umbrella after being told he is very sexy apart from it . He soon finds that the department 's two senior employees spend most of their time running the Hall and its history , the village and the local cricket team . Anything in fact , other than the jobs they are supposed to be doing . Jasper finds it very difficult to find out any information about the work of the department , due to a combination of their evasive responses and his own extracurricular activities , which draw him away from his task . On one of the rare moments when he actually manages to have a discussion on the department 's function , the third employee , Miss Mounsey , breaks down and admits to him that she has been making up the statistics for a number of years , worrying this may have affected government policy . Jasper reassures her that `` nobody has ever taken the least bit of notice in the work of your department '' much to her relief . Jasper has become a regular fixture in the life of the village , despite having only been there for a few days . He undertakes a number of adventures such as painting a portrait of Belinda ( her torso , naked ) , finding himself locked in the Hall dungeon / wine cellar with Lionel Virley , where they get completely inebriated , only to turn up late to the Arcady vs Flaxfield cricket match , where , while still drunk , score the winning runs , and actually rescue the game . He climbs the ivy on the ruined castle wall to join Matilda at the top , only to get stuck up there , He also became an overnight expert on gardening , a hero in the village ( because of the cricket match ) , and is seen as the village Casanova . He skinny dips and romps naked around an island in the middle of a lake , with Belinda ( the second daughter ) , joins a party on Lord Flamborough 's train , and all the while he faces the difficult decision of whether to close the obviously redundant department despite the rural idyll it seems to support . Eventually he announces that the department is to close , a decision which does not go down well with Lord Flamborough or the villagers , although they apparently bear Jasper no ill will because of it , realising he is `` just doing his job '' . The fete proceeds as planned , including a traction engine rally , the ankle - judging competition ( won by Miss Mounsey ) and a demonstration of the Charleston by Jasper . Miss Tidy , a lady who shared the railway carriage with Jasper on his way up to Arcady , and a former paramour of Lord Flamborough , announces that she has in fact been there acting on behalf of the National Trust who want to preserve the house for the nation , meaning that life can go on as it was before in Arcady . It is interesting to note that in the original novel Arcady Hall was destined to become a Nuclear Research Establishment . Eventually , as Belinda and Matilda , the two unmarried daughters of Lord Flamborough , appear to have become bored with Jasper ( just like Deirdre was ) , he meanwhile has come to realise that the woman he is most taken with is the shy spinster Miss Mounsey , the secretary for the department , who very obviously likes him , and admits ' I do n't find you a bore , far from it ' . When it starts to rain , he embraces his true persona by retrieving the umbrella from the flowerbed . The story ends with Jasper and Miss Mounsey embracing on the platform at Arcady station . Production ( edit ) Much of the outdoor scenes were filmed at Oxburgh Hall in Norfolk . Some internal scenes were filmed at Chawton House in Hampshire , while the railway scenes were filmed on the North Norfolk Railway , in particular using Weybourne station as a substitute for the fictional Arcady station . Each episode is named after a 1920s song , from the Charleston era beloved by Lord Flanborough - `` Yes Sir , That 's My Baby '' , `` I Wonder Where My Baby Is Tonight '' , `` I Ca n't Give You Anything But Love , Baby '' and `` Ai n't She Sweet '' . Media releases ( edit ) Love on a Branch Line was released on Region One DVD in 2002 and on Region Two in 2006 . These are distributed by Acorn Media UK .

The term ethics derives from Ancient Greek ἠθικός ( ethikos ) , from ἦθος ( ethos ) , meaning ' habit , custom ' . The branch of philosophy axiology comprises the sub-branches of ethics and aesthetics , each concerned with values . Ethics seeks to resolve questions of human morality by defining concepts such as good and evil , right and wrong , virtue and vice , justice and crime . As a field of intellectual enquiry , moral philosophy also is related to the fields of moral psychology , descriptive ethics , and value theory . Three major areas of study within ethics recognized today are : Meta - ethics , concerning the theoretical meaning and reference of moral propositions , and how their truth values ( if any ) can be determined Normative ethics , concerning the practical means of determining a moral course of action Applied ethics , concerning what a person is obligated ( or permitted ) to do in a specific situation or a particular domain of action Contents ( hide ) 1 Defining ethics 2 Meta - ethics 3 Normative ethics 3.1 Virtue ethics 3.1. 1 Stoicism 3.1. 2 Contemporary virtue ethics 3.2 Hedonism 3.2. 1 Cyrenaic hedonism 3.2. 2 Epicureanism 3.3 State consequentialism 3.4 Consequentialism / teleology 3.4. 1 Utilitarianism 3.5 Deontology 3.6 Pragmatic ethics 3.7 Ethics of care 3.8 Role ethics 3.9 Anarchist ethics 3.10 Postmodern ethics 4 Applied ethics 4.1 Specific questions 4.2 Particular fields of application 4.2. 1 Bioethics 4.2. 2 Business ethics 4.2. 3 Machine ethics 4.2. 4 Military ethics 4.2. 5 Political ethics 4.2. 6 Public sector ethics 4.2. 7 Publication ethics 4.2. 8 Relational ethics 4.2. 9 Animal ethics 5 Moral psychology 5.1 Evolutionary ethics 6 Descriptive ethics 7 See also 8 Notes 9 References 10 Further reading 11 External links Defining ethics ( edit ) Rushworth Kidder states that `` standard definitions of ethics have typically included such phrases as ' the science of the ideal human character ' or ' the science of moral duty ' '' . Richard William Paul and Linda Elder define ethics as `` a set of concepts and principles that guide us in determining what behavior helps or harms sentient creatures '' . The Cambridge Dictionary of Philosophy states that the word ethics is `` commonly used interchangeably with ' morality ' ... and sometimes it is used more narrowly to mean the moral principles of a particular tradition , group or individual . '' Paul and Elder state that most people confuse ethics with behaving in accordance with social conventions , religious beliefs and the law and do n't treat ethics as a stand - alone concept . The word ethics in English refers to several things . It can refer to philosophical ethics or moral philosophy -- a project that attempts to use reason to answer various kinds of ethical questions . As the English philosopher Bernard Williams writes , attempting to explain moral philosophy : `` What makes an inquiry a philosophical one is reflective generality and a style of argument that claims to be rationally persuasive . '' And Williams describes the content of this area of inquiry as addressing the very broad question , `` how one should live '' Ethics can also refer to a common human ability to think about ethical problems that is not particular to philosophy . As bioethicist Larry Churchill has written : `` Ethics , understood as the capacity to think critically about moral values and direct our actions in terms of such values , is a generic human capacity . '' Ethics can also be used to describe a particular person 's own idiosyncratic principles or habits . For example : `` Joe has strange ethics . '' The English word ethics is derived from an Ancient Greek word êthikos , which means `` relating to one 's character '' . The Ancient Greek adjective êthikos is itself derived from another Greek word , the noun êthos meaning `` character , disposition '' . Meta - ethics ( edit ) Main article : Meta - ethics Meta - ethics asks how we understand , know about , and what we mean when we talk about what is right and what is wrong . An ethical question fixed on some particular practical question -- such as , `` Should I eat this particular piece of chocolate cake ? '' -- can not be a meta - ethical question . A meta - ethical question is abstract and relates to a wide range of more specific practical questions . For example , `` Is it ever possible to have secure knowledge of what is right and wrong ? '' would be a meta - ethical question . Meta - ethics has always accompanied philosophical ethics . For example , Aristotle implies that less precise knowledge is possible in ethics than in other spheres of inquiry , and he regards ethical knowledge as depending upon habit and acculturation in a way that makes it distinctive from other kinds of knowledge . Meta - ethics is also important in G.E. Moore 's Principia Ethica from 1903 . In it he first wrote about what he called the naturalistic fallacy . Moore was seen to reject naturalism in ethics , in his Open Question Argument . This made thinkers look again at second order questions about ethics . Earlier , the Scottish philosopher David Hume had put forward a similar view on the difference between facts and values . Studies of how we know in ethics divide into cognitivism and non-cognitivism ; this is similar to the contrast between descriptivists and non-descriptivists . Non-cognitivism is the claim that when we judge something as right or wrong , this is neither true nor false . We may , for example , be only expressing our emotional feelings about these things . Cognitivism can then be seen as the claim that when we talk about right and wrong , we are talking about matters of fact . The ontology of ethics is about value - bearing things or properties , i.e. the kind of things or stuff referred to by ethical propositions . Non-descriptivists and non-cognitivists believe that ethics does not need a specific ontology since ethical propositions do not refer . This is known as an anti-realist position . Realists , on the other hand , must explain what kind of entities , properties or states are relevant for ethics , how they have value , and why they guide and motivate our actions . Normative ethics ( edit ) Main article : Normative ethics Normative ethics is the study of ethical action . It is the branch of ethics that investigates the set of questions that arise when considering how one ought to act , morally speaking . Normative ethics is distinct from meta - ethics because it examines standards for the rightness and wrongness of actions , while meta - ethics studies the meaning of moral language and the metaphysics of moral facts . Normative ethics is also distinct from descriptive ethics , as the latter is an empirical investigation of people 's moral beliefs . To put it another way , descriptive ethics would be concerned with determining what proportion of people believe that killing is always wrong , while normative ethics is concerned with whether it is correct to hold such a belief . Hence , normative ethics is sometimes called prescriptive , rather than descriptive . However , on certain versions of the meta - ethical view called moral realism , moral facts are both descriptive and prescriptive at the same time . Traditionally , normative ethics ( also known as moral theory ) was the study of what makes actions right and wrong . These theories offered an overarching moral principle one could appeal to in resolving difficult moral decisions . At the turn of the 20th century , moral theories became more complex and are no longer concerned solely with rightness and wrongness , but are interested in many different kinds of moral status . During the middle of the century , the study of normative ethics declined as meta - ethics grew in prominence . This focus on meta - ethics was in part caused by an intense linguistic focus in analytic philosophy and by the popularity of logical positivism . In 1971 John Rawls published A Theory of Justice , noteworthy in its pursuit of moral arguments and eschewing of meta - ethics . Virtue ethics ( edit ) Main article : Virtue ethics Socrates Virtue ethics describes the character of a moral agent as a driving force for ethical behavior , and is used to describe the ethics of Socrates , Aristotle , and other early Greek philosophers . Socrates ( 469 -- 399 BC ) was one of the first Greek philosophers to encourage both scholars and the common citizen to turn their attention from the outside world to the condition of humankind . In this view , knowledge bearing on human life was placed highest , while all other knowledge was secondary . Self - knowledge was considered necessary for success and inherently an essential good . A self - aware person will act completely within his capabilities to his pinnacle , while an ignorant person will flounder and encounter difficulty . To Socrates , a person must become aware of every fact ( and its context ) relevant to his existence , if he wishes to attain self - knowledge . He posited that people will naturally do what is good , if they know what is right . Evil or bad actions are the results of ignorance . If a criminal was truly aware of the intellectual and spiritual consequences of his actions , he would neither commit nor even consider committing those actions . Any person who knows what is truly right will automatically do it , according to Socrates . While he correlated knowledge with virtue , he similarly equated virtue with joy . The truly wise man will know what is right , do what is good , and therefore be happy . Aristotle ( 384 -- 323 BC ) posited an ethical system that may be termed `` self - realizationism '' . In Aristotle 's view , when a person acts in accordance with his nature and realizes his full potential , he will do good and be content . At birth , a baby is not a person , but a potential person . To become a `` real '' person , the child 's inherent potential must be realized . Unhappiness and frustration are caused by the unrealized potential of a person , leading to failed goals and a poor life . Aristotle said , `` Nature does nothing in vain . '' Therefore , it is imperative for people to act in accordance with their nature and develop their latent talents in order to be content and complete . Happiness was held to be the ultimate goal . All other things , such as civic life or wealth , are merely means to the end . Self - realization , the awareness of one 's nature and the development of one 's talents , is the surest path to happiness . Aristotle asserted that man had three natures : body ( physical / metabolism ) , animal ( emotional / appetite ) and rational ( mental / conceptual ) . Physical nature can be assuaged through exercise and care , emotional nature through indulgence of instinct and urges , and mental through human reason and developed potential . Rational development was considered the most important , as essential to philosophical self - awareness and as uniquely human . Moderation was encouraged , with the extremes seen as degraded and immoral . For example , courage is the moderate virtue between the extremes of cowardice and recklessness . Man should not simply live , but live well with conduct governed by moderate virtue . This is regarded as difficult , as virtue denotes doing the right thing , to the right person , at the right time , to the proper extent , in the correct fashion , for the right reason . Stoicism ( edit ) Main article : Stoicism Epictetus The Stoic philosopher Epictetus posited that the greatest good was contentment and serenity . Peace of mind , or Apatheia , was of the highest value ; self - mastery over one 's desires and emotions leads to spiritual peace . The `` unconquerable will '' is central to this philosophy . The individual 's will should be independent and inviolate . Allowing a person to disturb the mental equilibrium is , in essence , offering yourself in slavery . If a person is free to anger you at will , you have no control over your internal world , and therefore no freedom . Freedom from material attachments is also necessary . If a thing breaks , the person should not be upset , but realize it was a thing that could break . Similarly , if someone should die , those close to them should hold to their serenity because the loved one was made of flesh and blood destined to death . Stoic philosophy says to accept things that can not be changed , resigning oneself to existence and enduring in a rational fashion . Death is not feared . People do not `` lose '' their life , but instead `` return '' , for they are returning to God ( who initially gave what the person is as a person ) . Epictetus said difficult problems in life should not be avoided , but rather embraced . They are spiritual exercises needed for the health of the spirit , just as physical exercise is required for the health of the body . He also stated that sex and sexual desire are to be avoided as the greatest threat to the integrity and equilibrium of a man 's mind . Abstinence is highly desirable . Epictetus said remaining abstinent in the face of temptation was a victory for which a man could be proud . Contemporary virtue ethics ( edit ) Modern virtue ethics was popularized during the late 20th century in large part as a response to G.E.M. Anscombe 's `` Modern Moral Philosophy '' . Anscombe argues that consequentialist and deontological ethics are only feasible as universal theories if the two schools ground themselves in divine law . As a deeply devoted Christian herself , Anscombe proposed that either those who do not give ethical credence to notions of divine law take up virtue ethics , which does not necessitate universal laws as agents themselves are investigated for virtue or vice and held up to `` universal standards '' , or that those who wish to be utilitarian or consequentialist ground their theories in religious conviction . Alasdair MacIntyre , who wrote the book After Virtue , was a key contributor and proponent of modern virtue ethics , although MacIntyre supports a relativistic account of virtue based on cultural norms , not objective standards . Martha Nussbaum , a contemporary virtue ethicist , objects to MacIntyre 's relativism , among that of others , and responds to relativist objections to form an objective account in her work `` Non-Relative Virtues : An Aristotelian Approach '' . However , Nussbaum 's accusation of relativism appears to be a misreading . In Whose Justice , Whose Rationality ? , MacIntyre 's ambition of taking a rational path beyond relativism was quite clear when he stated `` rival claims made by different traditions ( ... ) are to be evaluated ( ... ) without relativism '' ( p. 354 ) because indeed `` rational debate between and rational choice among rival traditions is possible '' ( p. 352 ) . Complete Conduct Principles for the 21st Century blended the Eastern virtue ethics and the Western virtue ethics , with some modifications to suit the 21st Century , and formed a part of contemporary virtue ethics . Hedonism ( edit ) Main article : Hedonism Hedonism posits that the principal ethic is maximizing pleasure and minimizing pain . There are several schools of Hedonist thought ranging from those advocating the indulgence of even momentary desires to those teaching a pursuit of spiritual bliss . In their consideration of consequences , they range from those advocating self - gratification regardless of the pain and expense to others , to those stating that the most ethical pursuit maximizes pleasure and happiness for the most people . Cyrenaic hedonism ( edit ) Founded by Aristippus of Cyrene , Cyrenaics supported immediate gratification or pleasure . `` Eat , drink and be merry , for tomorrow we die . '' Even fleeting desires should be indulged , for fear the opportunity should be forever lost . There was little to no concern with the future , the present dominating in the pursuit for immediate pleasure . Cyrenaic hedonism encouraged the pursuit of enjoyment and indulgence without hesitation , believing pleasure to be the only good . Epicureanism ( edit ) Main article : Epicureanism Epicurean ethics is a hedonist form of virtue ethics . Epicurus `` ... presented a sustained argument that pleasure , correctly understood , will coincide with virtue . '' He rejected the extremism of the Cyrenaics , believing some pleasures and indulgences to be detrimental to human beings . Epicureans observed that indiscriminate indulgence sometimes resulted in negative consequences . Some experiences were therefore rejected out of hand , and some unpleasant experiences endured in the present to ensure a better life in the future . To Epicurus , the summum bonum , or greatest good , was prudence , exercised through moderation and caution . Excessive indulgence can be destructive to pleasure and can even lead to pain . For example , eating one food too often makes a person lose a taste for it . Eating too much food at once leads to discomfort and ill - health . Pain and fear were to be avoided . Living was essentially good , barring pain and illness . Death was not to be feared . Fear was considered the source of most unhappiness . Conquering the fear of death would naturally lead to a happier life . Epicurus reasoned if there were an afterlife and immortality , the fear of death was irrational . If there was no life after death , then the person would not be alive to suffer , fear or worry ; he would be non-existent in death . It is irrational to fret over circumstances that do not exist , such as one 's state in death in the absence of an afterlife . State consequentialism ( edit ) Main article : State consequentialism State consequentialism , also known as Mohist consequentialism , is an ethical theory that evaluates the moral worth of an action based on how much it contributes to the basic goods of a state . The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy describes Mohist consequentialism , dating back to the 5th century BC , as `` a remarkably sophisticated version based on a plurality of intrinsic goods taken as constitutive of human welfare '' . Unlike utilitarianism , which views pleasure as a moral good , `` the basic goods in Mohist consequentialist thinking are ... order , material wealth , and increase in population '' . During Mozi 's era , war and famines were common , and population growth was seen as a moral necessity for a harmonious society . The `` material wealth '' of Mohist consequentialism refers to basic needs like shelter and clothing , and the `` order '' of Mohist consequentialism refers to Mozi 's stance against warfare and violence , which he viewed as pointless and a threat to social stability . Stanford sinologist David Shepherd Nivison , in The Cambridge History of Ancient China , writes that the moral goods of Mohism `` are interrelated : more basic wealth , then more reproduction ; more people , then more production and wealth ... if people have plenty , they would be good , filial , kind , and so on unproblematically . '' The Mohists believed that morality is based on `` promoting the benefit of all under heaven and eliminating harm to all under heaven '' . In contrast to Bentham 's views , state consequentialism is not utilitarian because it is not hedonistic or individualistic . The importance of outcomes that are good for the community outweigh the importance of individual pleasure and pain . Consequentialism / teleology ( edit ) Main article : Consequentialism See also : Ethical egoism Consequentialism refers to moral theories that hold that the consequences of a particular action form the basis for any valid moral judgment about that action ( or create a structure for judgment , see rule consequentialism ) . Thus , from a consequentialist standpoint , a morally right action is one that produces a good outcome , or consequence . This view is often expressed as the aphorism `` The ends justify the means '' . The term `` consequentialism '' was coined by G.E.M. Anscombe in her essay `` Modern Moral Philosophy '' in 1958 , to describe what she saw as the central error of certain moral theories , such as those propounded by Mill and Sidgwick . Since then , the term has become common in English - language ethical theory . The defining feature of consequentialist moral theories is the weight given to the consequences in evaluating the rightness and wrongness of actions . In consequentialist theories , the consequences of an action or rule generally outweigh other considerations . Apart from this basic outline , there is little else that can be unequivocally said about consequentialism as such . However , there are some questions that many consequentialist theories address : What sort of consequences count as good consequences ? Who is the primary beneficiary of moral action ? How are the consequences judged and who judges them ? One way to divide various consequentialisms is by the types of consequences that are taken to matter most , that is , which consequences count as good states of affairs . According to utilitarianism , a good action is one that results in an increase in a positive effect , and the best action is one that results in that effect for the greatest number . Closely related is eudaimonic consequentialism , according to which a full , flourishing life , which may or may not be the same as enjoying a great deal of pleasure , is the ultimate aim . Similarly , one might adopt an aesthetic consequentialism , in which the ultimate aim is to produce beauty . However , one might fix on non-psychological goods as the relevant effect . Thus , one might pursue an increase in material equality or political liberty instead of something like the more ephemeral `` pleasure '' . Other theories adopt a package of several goods , all to be promoted equally . Whether a particular consequentialist theory focuses on a single good or many , conflicts and tensions between different good states of affairs are to be expected and must be adjudicated . Utilitarianism ( edit ) Main article : Utilitarianism Jeremy Bentham John Stuart Mill Utilitarianism is an ethical theory that argues the proper course of action is one that maximizes a positive effect , such as `` happiness '' , `` welfare '' , or the ability to live according to personal preferences . Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill are influential proponents of this school of thought . In A Fragment on Government Bentham says ' it is the greatest happiness of the greatest number that is the measure of right and wrong ' and describes this as a fundamental axiom . In An Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation he talks of ' the principle of utility ' but later prefers `` the greatest happiness principle '' . Utilitarianism is the paradigmatic example of a consequentialist moral theory . This form of utilitarianism holds that the morally correct action is the one that produces the best outcome for all people affected by the action . John Stuart Mill , in his exposition of utilitarianism , proposed a hierarchy of pleasures , meaning that the pursuit of certain kinds of pleasure is more highly valued than the pursuit of other pleasures . Other noteworthy proponents of utilitarianism are neuroscientist Sam Harris , author of The Moral Landscape , and moral philosopher Peter Singer , author of , amongst other works , Practical Ethics . There are two types of utilitarianism , act utilitarianism and rule utilitarianism . In act utilitarianism , the principle of utility applies directly to each alternative act in a situation of choice . The right act is the one that brings about the best results ( or the least amount of bad results ) . In rule utilitarianism , the principle of utility determines the validity of rules of conduct ( moral principles ) . A rule like promise - keeping is established by looking at the consequences of a world in which people break promises at will and a world in which promises are binding . Right and wrong are the following or breaking of rules that are sanctioned by their utilitarian value . Deontology ( edit ) Main article : Deontological ethics Immanuel Kant Deontological ethics or deontology ( from Greek δέον , deon , `` obligation , duty '' ; and - λογία , - logia ) is an approach to ethics that determines goodness or rightness from examining acts , or the rules and duties that the person doing the act strove to fulfill . This is in contrast to consequentialism , in which rightness is based on the consequences of an act , and not the act by itself . In deontology , an act may be considered right even if the act produces a bad consequence , if it follows the rule that `` one should do unto others as they would have done unto them '' , and even if the person who does the act lacks virtue and had a bad intention in doing the act . According to deontology , people have a duty to act in a way that does those things that are inherently good as acts ( `` truth - telling '' for example ) , or follow an objectively obligatory rule ( as in rule utilitarianism ) . For deontologists , the ends or consequences of people 's actions are not important in and of themselves , and people 's intentions are not important in and of themselves . Immanuel Kant 's theory of ethics is considered deontological for several different reasons . First , Kant argues that to act in the morally right way , people must act from duty ( deon ) . Second , Kant argued that it was not the consequences of actions that make them right or wrong but the motives ( maxime ) of the person who carries out the action . Kant 's argument that to act in the morally right way , one must act from duty , begins with an argument that the highest good must be both good in itself , and good without qualification . Something is ' good in itself ' when it is intrinsically good , and ' good without qualification ' when the addition of that thing never makes a situation ethically worse . Kant then argues that those things that are usually thought to be good , such as intelligence , perseverance and pleasure , fail to be either intrinsically good or good without qualification . Pleasure , for example , appears to not be good without qualification , because when people take pleasure in watching someone suffer , they make the situation ethically worse . He concludes that there is only one thing that is truly good : Nothing in the world -- indeed nothing even beyond the world -- can possibly be conceived which could be called good without qualification except a good will . Pragmatic ethics ( edit ) Main article : Pragmatic ethics Associated with the pragmatists , Charles Sanders Peirce , William James , and especially John Dewey , pragmatic ethics holds that moral correctness evolves similarly to scientific knowledge : socially over the course of many lifetimes . Thus , we should prioritize social reform over attempts to account for consequences , individual virtue or duty ( although these may be worthwhile attempts , if social reform is provided for ) . Ethics of care ( edit ) Main article : Ethics of care Care ethics contrasts with more well - known ethical models , such as consequentialist theories ( e.g. utilitarianism ) and deontological theories ( e.g. , Kantian ethics ) in that it seeks to incorporate traditionally feminized virtues and values that -- proponents of care ethics contend -- are absent in such traditional models of ethics . These values include the importance of empathetic relationships and compassion . Care - focused feminism is a branch of feminist thought , informed primarily by ethics of care as developed by Carol Gilligan and Nel Noddings . This body of theory is critical of how caring is socially assigned to women , and consequently devalued . They write , `` Care - focused feminists regard women 's capacity for care as a human strength , '' that should be taught to and expected of men as well as women . Noddings proposes that ethical caring has the potential to be a more concrete evaluative model of moral dilemma than an ethic of justice . Noddings ' care - focused feminism requires practical application of relational ethics , predicated on an ethic of care . Role ethics ( edit ) Main article : Role ethics Role ethics is an ethical theory based on family roles . Unlike virtue ethics , role ethics is not individualistic . Morality is derived from a person 's relationship with their community . Confucian ethics is an example of role ethics though this is not straightforwardly uncontested . Confucian roles center around the concept of filial piety or xiao , a respect for family members . According to Roger Ames and Henry Rosemont , `` Confucian normativity is defined by living one 's family roles to maximum effect . '' Morality is determined through a person 's fulfillment of a role , such as that of a parent or a child . Confucian roles are not rational , and originate through the xin , or human emotions . Anarchist ethics ( edit ) Main article : Anarchism Anarchist ethics is an ethical theory based on the studies of anarchist thinkers . The biggest contributor to the anarchist ethics is the Russian zoologist , geographer , economist , and political activist Peter Kropotkin . The anarchist ethics is a large , vague field that can depend on different historical situations and different anarchist thinkers -- but as Peter Kropotkin explains , `` any `` bourgeois '' or `` proletarian '' ethics rests , after all , on the common basis , on the common ethnological foundation , which at times exerts a very strong influence on the principles of the class or group morality . '' Still , most of the anarchist ethics schools are based on three fundamental ideas , which are : `` solidarity , equality , and justice '' . Kropotkin argues that Ethics is evolutionary and is inherited as a sort of a social instinct through History , and by so , he rejects any religious and transcendental explanation of ethics . Kropotkin suggests that the principle of equality at the core of anarchism is the same as the Golden rule : This principle of treating others as one wishes to be treated oneself , what is it but the very same principle as equality , the fundamental principle of anarchism ? And how can any one manage to believe himself an anarchist unless he practices it ? We do not wish to be ruled . And by this very fact , do we not declare that we ourselves wish to rule nobody ? We do not wish to be deceived , we wish always to be told nothing but the truth . And by this very fact , do we not declare that we ourselves do not wish to deceive anybody , that we promise to always tell the truth , nothing but the truth , the whole truth ? We do not wish to have the fruits of our labor stolen from us . And by that very fact , do we not declare that we respect the fruits of others ' labor ? By what right indeed can we demand that we should be treated in one fashion , reserving it to ourselves to treat others in a fashion entirely different ? Our sense of equality revolts at such an idea . Postmodern ethics ( edit ) Main article : Postmodernism This article or section possibly contains previously unpublished synthesis of published material that conveys ideas not attributable to the original sources . Relevant discussion may be found on the talk page . ( July 2009 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The 20th century saw a remarkable expansion and evolution of critical theory , following on earlier Marxist Theory efforts to locate individuals within larger structural frameworks of ideology and action . Antihumanists such as Louis Althusser , Michel Foucault and structuralists such as Roland Barthes challenged the possibilities of individual agency and the coherence of the notion of the ' individual ' itself . This was a on the basis that personal identity was , at least in part , a social construction . As critical theory developed in the later 20th century , post-structuralism sought to problematize human relationships to knowledge and ' objective ' reality . Jacques Derrida argued that access to meaning and the ' real ' was always deferred , and sought to demonstrate via recourse to the linguistic realm that `` there is no outside - text / non-text '' ( `` il n'y a pas de hors - texte '' is often mistranslated as `` there is nothing outside the text '' ) ; at the same time , Jean Baudrillard theorised that signs and symbols or simulacra mask reality ( and eventually the absence of reality itself ) , particularly in the consumer world . Post-structuralism and postmodernism argue that ethics must study the complex and relational conditions of actions . A simple alignment of ideas of right and particular acts is not possible . There will always be an ethical remainder that can not be taken into account or often even recognized . Such theorists find narrative ( or , following Nietzsche and Foucault , genealogy ) to be a helpful tool for understanding ethics because narrative is always about particular lived experiences in all their complexity rather than the assignment of an idea or norm to separate and individual actions . Zygmunt Bauman says postmodernity is best described as modernity without illusion , the illusion being the belief that humanity can be repaired by some ethic principle . Postmodernity can be seen in this light as accepting the messy nature of humanity as unchangeable . David Couzens Hoy states that Emmanuel Levinas 's writings on the face of the Other and Derrida 's meditations on the relevance of death to ethics are signs of the `` ethical turn '' in Continental philosophy that occurred in the 1980s and 1990s . Hoy describes post-critique ethics as the `` obligations that present themselves as necessarily to be fulfilled but are neither forced on one or are enforceable '' ( 2004 , p. 103 ) . Hoy 's post-critique model uses the term ethical resistance . Examples of this would be an individual 's resistance to consumerism in a retreat to a simpler but perhaps harder lifestyle , or an individual 's resistance to a terminal illness . Hoy describes Levinas 's account as `` not the attempt to use power against itself , or to mobilize sectors of the population to exert their political power ; the ethical resistance is instead the resistance of the powerless '' ( 2004 , p. 8 ) . Hoy concludes that The ethical resistance of the powerless others to our capacity to exert power over them is therefore what imposes unenforceable obligations on us . The obligations are unenforceable precisely because of the other 's lack of power . That actions are at once obligatory and at the same time unenforceable is what put them in the category of the ethical . Obligations that were enforced would , by the virtue of the force behind them , not be freely undertaken and would not be in the realm of the ethical . ( 2004 , p. 184 ) In present - day terms , the powerless may include the unborn , the terminally sick , the aged , the insane , and non-human animals . It is in these areas that ethical action in Hoy 's sense applies . Until legislation or the state apparatus enforces a moral order that addresses the causes of resistance , these issues remain in the ethical realm . For example , should animal experimentation become illegal in a society , it is longer be an ethical issue by Hoy 's definition ? Likewise , one hundred and fifty years ago , not having a black slave in America would have been an ethical choice . This latter issue has been absorbed into the fabric of an enforceable social order and is therefore no longer an ethical issue in Hoy 's sense . Applied ethics ( edit ) Main article : Applied ethics Applied ethics is a discipline of philosophy that attempts to apply ethical theory to real - life situations . The discipline has many specialized fields , such as engineering ethics , bioethics , geoethics , public service ethics and business ethics . Specific questions ( edit ) Applied ethics is used in some aspects of determining public policy , as well as by individuals facing difficult decisions . The sort of questions addressed by applied ethics include : `` Is getting an abortion immoral ? '' `` Is euthanasia immoral ? '' `` Is affirmative action right or wrong ? '' `` What are human rights , and how do we determine them ? '' `` Do animals have rights as well ? '' and `` Do individuals have the right of self - determination ? '' A more specific question could be : `` If someone else can make better out of his / her life than I can , is it then moral to sacrifice myself for them if needed ? '' Without these questions , there is no clear fulcrum on which to balance law , politics , and the practice of arbitration -- in fact , no common assumptions of all participants -- so the ability to formulate the questions are prior to rights balancing . But not all questions studied in applied ethics concern public policy . For example , making ethical judgments regarding questions such as , `` Is lying always wrong ? '' and , `` If not , when is it permissible ? '' is prior to any etiquette . People , in general , are more comfortable with dichotomies ( two opposites ) . However , in ethics , the issues are most often multifaceted and the best - proposed actions address many different areas concurrently . In ethical decisions , the answer is almost never a `` yes or no '' , `` right or wrong '' statement . Many buttons are pushed so that the overall condition is improved and not to the benefit of any particular faction . Particular fields of application ( edit ) Bioethics ( edit ) Main article : Bioethics Bioethics is the study of controversial ethics brought about by advances in biology and medicine . Bioethicists are concerned with the ethical questions that arise in the relationships among life sciences , biotechnology , medicine , politics , law , and philosophy . It also includes the study of the more commonplace questions of values ( `` the ethics of the ordinary '' ) that arise in primary care and other branches of medicine . Bioethics also needs to address emerging biotechnologies that affect basic biology and future humans . These developments include cloning , gene therapy , human genetic engineering , astroethics and life in space , and manipulation of basic biology through altered DNA , RNA and proteins , e.g. - `` three parent baby , where baby is born from genetically modified embryos , would have DNA from a mother , a father and from a female donor . Correspondingly , new bioethics also need to address life at its core . For example , biotic ethics value organic gene / protein life itself and seek to propagate it . With such life - centered principles , ethics may secure a cosmological future for life . Business ethics ( edit ) Main article : Business ethics Business ethics ( also corporate ethics ) is a form of applied ethics or professional ethics that examines ethical principles and moral or ethical problems that arise in a business environment , including fields like medical ethics . It applies to all aspects of business conduct and is relevant to the conduct of individuals and entire organizations . Business ethics has both normative and descriptive dimensions . As a corporate practice and a career specialization , the field is primarily normative . Academics attempting to understand business behavior employ descriptive methods . The range and quantity of business ethical issues reflect the interaction of profit - maximizing behavior with non-economic concerns . Interest in business ethics accelerated dramatically during the 1980s and 1990s , both within major corporations and within academia . For example , today most major corporations promote their commitment to non-economic values under headings such as ethics codes and social responsibility charters . Adam Smith said , `` People of the same trade seldom meet together , even for merriment and diversion , but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public , or in some contrivance to raise prices . '' Governments use laws and regulations to point business behavior in what they perceive to be beneficial directions . Ethics implicitly regulates areas and details of behavior that lie beyond governmental control . The emergence of large corporations with limited relationships and sensitivity to the communities in which they operate accelerated the development of formal ethics regimes . Machine ethics ( edit ) Main article : Machine ethics In Moral Machines : Teaching Robots Right from Wrong , Wendell Wallach and Colin Allen conclude that issues in machine ethics will likely drive advancement in understanding of human ethics by forcing us to address gaps in modern normative theory and by providing a platform for experimental investigation . The effort to actually program a machine or artificial agent to behave as though instilled with a sense of ethics requires new specificity in our normative theories , especially regarding aspects customarily considered common - sense . For example , machines , unlike humans , can support a wide selection of learning algorithms , and controversy has arisen over the relative ethical merits of these options . This may reopen classic debates of normative ethics framed in new ( highly technical ) terms . Military ethics ( edit ) See also : Geneva Conventions and Nuremberg Principles Military ethics are concerned with questions regarding the application of force and the ethos of the soldier and are often understood as applied professional ethics . Just war theory is generally seen to set the background terms of military ethics . However individual countries and traditions have different fields of attention . Military ethics involves multiple subareas , including the following among others : what , if any , should be the laws of war . justification for the initiation of military force . decisions about who may be targeted in warfare . decisions on choice of weaponry , and what collateral effects such weaponry may have . standards for handling military prisoners . methods of dealing with violations of the laws of war . Political ethics ( edit ) Main article : Political ethics Political ethics ( also known as political morality or public ethics ) is the practice of making moral judgements about political action and political agents . Public sector ethics ( edit ) Main article : Public sector ethics Public sector ethics is a set of principles that guide public officials in their service to their constituents , including their decision - making on behalf of their constituents . Fundamental to the concept of public sector ethics is the notion that decisions and actions are based on what best serves the public 's interests , as opposed to the official 's personal interests ( including financial interests ) or self - serving political interests . Publication ethics ( edit ) Publication ethics is the set of principles that guide the writing and publishing process for all professional publications . To follow these principles , authors must verify that the publication does not contain plagiarism or publication bias . As a way to avoid misconduct in research these principles can also apply to experiments that are referenced or analyzed in publications by ensuring the data is recorded honestly and accurately . Plagiarism is the failure to give credit to another author 's work or ideas , when it is used in the publication . It is the obligation of the editor of the journal to ensure the article does not contain any plagiarism before it is published . If a publication that has already been published is proven to contain plagiarism , the editor of the journal can retract the article . Publication bias occurs when the publication is one - sided or `` prejudiced against results '' . In best practice , an author should try to include information from all parties involved , or affected by the topic . If an author is prejudiced against certain results , than it can `` lead to erroneous conclusions being drawn '' . Misconduct in research can occur when an experimenter falsifies results . Falsely recorded information occurs when the researcher `` fakes '' information or data , which was not used when conducting the actual experiment . By faking the data , the researcher can alter the results from the experiment to better fit the hypothesis they originally predicted . When conducting medical research , it is important to honor the healthcare rights of a patient by protecting their anonymity in the publication . Respect for autonomy is the principle that decision - making should allow individuals to be autonomous ; they should be able to make decisions that apply to their own lives . This means that individuals should have control of their lives . Justice is the principle that decision - makers must focus on actions that are fair to those affected . Ethical decisions need to be consistent with the ethical theory . There are cases where the management has made decisions that seem to be unfair to the employees , shareholders , and other stakeholders ( Solomon , 1992 , pp49 ) . Such decisions are unethical . Relational ethics ( edit ) Relational ethics are related to an ethics of care . They are used in qualitative research , especially ethnography and autoethnography . Researchers who employ relational ethics value and respect the connection between themselves and the people they study , and `` ... between researchers and the communities in which they live and work . '' ( Ellis , 2007 , p. 4 ) . Relational ethics also help researchers understand difficult issues such as conducting research on intimate others that have died and developing friendships with their participants . Relational ethics in close personal relationships form a central concept of contextual therapy . Animal ethics ( edit ) Main article : Animal ethics Animal ethics is a term used in academia to describe human - animal relationships and how animals ought to be treated . The subject matter includes animal rights , animal welfare , animal law , speciesism , animal cognition , wildlife conservation , the moral status of nonhuman animals , the concept of nonhuman personhood , human exceptionalism , the history of animal use , and theories of justice . Moral psychology ( edit ) Main article : Moral psychology Moral psychology is a field of study that began as an issue in philosophy and that is now properly considered part of the discipline of psychology . Some use the term `` moral psychology '' relatively narrowly to refer to the study of moral development . However , others tend to use the term more broadly to include any topics at the intersection of ethics and psychology ( and philosophy of mind ) . Such topics are ones that involve the mind and are relevant to moral issues . Some of the main topics of the field are moral responsibility , moral development , moral character ( especially as related to virtue ethics ) , altruism , psychological egoism , moral luck , and moral disagreement . Evolutionary ethics ( edit ) Main article : Evolutionary ethics See also : Evolution of morality Evolutionary ethics concerns approaches to ethics ( morality ) based on the role of evolution in shaping human psychology and behavior . Such approaches may be based in scientific fields such as evolutionary psychology or sociobiology , with a focus on understanding and explaining observed ethical preferences and choices . Descriptive ethics ( edit ) Main article : Descriptive ethics Descriptive ethics is on the less philosophical end of the spectrum since it seeks to gather particular information about how people live and draw general conclusions based on observed patterns . Abstract and theoretical questions that are more clearly philosophical -- such as , `` Is ethical knowledge possible ? '' -- are not central to descriptive ethics . Descriptive ethics offers a value - free approach to ethics , which defines it as a social science rather than a humanity . Its examination of ethics does n't start with a preconceived theory but rather investigates observations of actual choices made by moral agents in practice . Some philosophers rely on descriptive ethics and choices made and unchallenged by a society or culture to derive categories , which typically vary by context . This can lead to situational ethics and situated ethics . These philosophers often view aesthetics , etiquette , and arbitration as more fundamental , percolating `` bottom up '' to imply the existence of , rather than explicitly prescribe , theories of value or of conduct . The study of descriptive ethics may include examinations of the following : Ethical codes applied by various groups . Some consider aesthetics itself the basis of ethics -- and a personal moral core developed through art and storytelling as very influential in one 's later ethical choices . Informal theories of etiquette that tend to be less rigorous and more situational . Some consider etiquette a simple negative ethics , i.e. , where can one evade an uncomfortable truth without doing wrong ? One notable advocate of this view is Judith Martin ( `` Miss Manners '' ) . According to this view , ethics is more a summary of common sense social decisions . Practices in arbitration and law , e.g. , the claim that ethics itself is a matter of balancing `` right versus right '' , i.e. , putting priorities on two things that are both right , but that must be traded off carefully in each situation . Observed choices made by ordinary people , without expert aid or advice , who vote , buy , and decide what is worth valuing . This is a major concern of sociology , political science , and economics .

Though still much used for this purpose , the corporate form has acquired a much larger significance . The corporation has , in fact , become both a method of property tenure and a means of organizing economic life . Grown to tremendous proportions , there may be said to have evolved a ' corporate system ' -- as there once was a feudal system -- which has attracted to itself a combination of attributes and powers , and has attained a degree of prominence entitling it to be dealt with as a major social institution ... We are examining this institution probably before it has attained its zenith . Spectacular as its rise has been , every indication seems to be that the system will move forward to proportions which stagger imagination today ... They ( management ) have placed the community in a position to demand that the modern corporation serve not only the owners ... but all society . '' p. 1 .

He is best known for pulling off a monumental upset , at 50 - to - 1 odds , by winning the Kentucky Derby in 2009 . He became one of only nine geldings to win the Kentucky Derby and the second gelding to win the race since 1929 . He continued to have success in the two remaining races of the American Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing by finishing second in the 2009 Preakness Stakes and third in the 2009 Belmont Stakes . On November 6 , 2010 , Mine That Bird was retired from racing after being winless in nine starts since the Kentucky Derby . He amassed $2,228,637 in earnings and won five of eighteen starts during his three - year racing career .

His sire is Birdstone ( winner of the 2004 Belmont Stakes ) , and his dam is Mining My Own . He is related to Northern Dancer from both of his parents and is related to Native Dancer and Mr. Prospector on his dam 's side . Racing career ( edit ) Canadian trainer David Cotey purchased Mine That Bird for $9,500 from the 2007 Fasig - Tipton Kentucky October Yearling Sale . He and his partners raced the gelding at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto , where he won four of six starts and was voted the 2008 Canadian Champion 2 - yr - old Male Horse . Cotey nominated the horse for the Breeders ' Cup Juvenile and the Kentucky Derby . Chantal Sutherland rode him to victory in the Silver Deputy Stakes and the Swynford Stakes . After she and the horse won the Grey Stakes on October 11 , 2008 , the partnership accepted a $400,000 offer from the New Mexico partnership of Double Eagle Ranch and Buena Suerte Equine . His new owners turned the gelding over to U.S. Racing Hall of Fame trainer Richard Mandella . In the 2008 Breeders ' Cup Juvenile , Mine That Bird finished last of the twelve starters . Racing in the United States at age three for new trainer Chip Woolley , in his 2009 debut on February 28 , Mine That Bird finished second in the Borderland Derby , and on March 29 had a fourth - place finish in the Sunland Derby . Based on his career earnings in graded stakes races , he qualified as one of the twenty Kentucky Derby starters . Woolley , who had a broken foot at the time and was in a cast , loaded Mine That Bird into a horse trailer attached to his pickup truck and drove over 1,200 miles ( perhaps 1,700 miles ) over 21 hours from New Mexico to get to the race . 2009 Kentucky Derby ( edit ) Following overnight rain , the Churchill Downs natural dirt track was rated as `` sloppy '' for the 2009 Kentucky Derby . Ridden by Calvin Borel , Mine That Bird had trouble out of the starting gate and was left about eight lengths behind the rest of the field . By the time the pack of horses was running down the backstretch , Mine That Bird was so far back that NBC 's announcer Tom Durkin at first missed seeing him . Calvin Borel , using the ground - saving , rail - skimming riding technique that won him the 2007 Derby with Street Sense , charged past horses along the backstretch and at the turn for home moved into contention . Borel kept Mine That Bird on the rail , leaving it to just have to go around one tiring horse before ducking back into the rail , where he exploded past Pioneerof the Nile and Musket Man so fast on the inside that Durkin , who was focused on the other two horses , did not see `` Bird '' come through until he was already three lengths in the lead . Mine That Bird pulled away to win by 6 ​ ⁄ lengths for the longest margin of victory in over 60 years . He ran the Derby 's mile - and - a-quarter distance in 2 minutes 2.66 seconds . A two - dollar win wager returned $103.20 , making Mine That Bird the second - biggest upset winner in Kentucky Derby history , behind 91 - 1 longshot Donerail in 1913 . Mine That Bird had the third longest odds in the 19 - horse field , with only Atomic Rain ( 55 - 1 ) and Join in the Dance ( 51 - 1 ) being higher . 2009 Preakness Stakes ( edit ) The day after his Derby win , Mine That Bird 's connections were uncertain if they would come back two weeks later and try for the Preakness Stakes . They planned to wait and assess the horse 's condition first . Co-owner Mark Allen said , `` The plan was that if he showed something here , to skip the Preakness and go to the Belmont , like his dad . '' His sire Birdstone won the Belmont Stakes in 2004 , suggesting that Mine That Bird 's breeding is for longer distances . Trainer Chip Woolley was concerned that the Preakness tends to have a quick pace that might not benefit his horse as much as the Belmont . It was announced on May 4 , 2009 , on ESPN that Mine That Bird would run in the Preakness . Borel opted to ride his regular mount , the filly Rachel Alexandra , in the Preakness . Rachel Alexandra had won the Kentucky Oaks by 20 lengths with Borel aboard and was the favorite in the Preakness . The mount on Mine That Bird went to Mike Smith . Mine That Bird finished second , a length behind Rachel Alexandra . As with the Derby , Mine That Bird came from far back in the field on the final turn and was closing rapidly , but the finish line came before he could catch the filly . 2009 Belmont Stakes ( edit ) Mine That Bird ran in the Belmont Stakes on June 6 , 2009 , where he was again ridden by Borel . After starting last , he began moving up along the backside . After taking the lead at the top of the stretch , he battled with Dunkirk and Charitable Man down the lane but was beaten by Summer Bird and Dunkirk to finish third . Subsequent races ( edit ) Mine That Bird returned to racing with a 3rd - place finish in the West Virginia Derby on August 1 , 2009 . He then finished 9th in the 2009 Breeders ' Cup Classic on November 7 , 2009 . New Mexico horse of the year ( edit ) On February 11 , 2010 , Mine That Bird was unanimously voted New Mexico Horse of the Year for 2009 by the New Mexico State House of Representatives . The bill was introduced by state representative Candy Spence Ezzell , who explained that `` Dr. Leonard Blach and Mark Allen ( Mine That Bird 's owners ) have brought New Mexico positive worldwide recognition . '' Dr. Blach , who was present for the proceedings , received a standing ovation from House members . On May 19 , 2010 , Mine That Bird was transferred to Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas .

It stars Skeet Ulrich , Christian Kane and William Devane . On the second to last episode of The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien , which aired on January 21 , 2010 , host Conan O'Brien claimed that The Tonight Show had purchased Mine That Bird for a comedy bit at the expense of NBC . A chestnut horse which O'Brien introduced as Mine That Bird was brought out in a ( supposedly ) mink Snuggie and watched what O'Brien stated to be `` restricted footage of NFL Super Bowl highlights '' . O'Brien stated the cost of the bit was $4.8 million . Rapper Lil Wayne makes a reference to the horse in his track `` Always Strapped '' Official Remix ( Part 2 ) . Mine That Bird was featured in This American Life episode 398 : `` Long Shot . '' Mine That Bird 's owner Mark Allen plays a role in the true - crime drama Practice to Deceive by Ann Rule .

It was bordered by Mexico to the west and southwest , the Gulf of Mexico to the southeast , the two U.S. states of Louisiana and Arkansas to the east and northeast , and United States territories encompassing parts of the current U.S. states of Oklahoma , Kansas , Colorado , and Wyoming to the north . The citizens of the republic were known as Texians . The Mexican province of Tejas ( in English history books usually referred to as Mexican Texas ) declared its independence from Mexico during the Texas Revolution in 1836 . The Texas war of independence ended on April 21 , 1836 , but Mexico refused to recognize the independence of the Republic of Texas , and intermittent conflicts between the two states continued into the 1840s . The United States recognized the Republic of Texas in March 1837 but declined to annex the territory . The Republic - claimed borders were based upon the Treaties of Velasco between the newly created Texas Republic and Antonio López de Santa Anna of Mexico . The eastern boundary had been defined by the Adams -- Onís Treaty of 1819 between the United States and Spain , which recognised the Sabine River as the eastern boundary of Spanish Texas and western boundary of the Missouri Territory . Under the Adams -- Onís Treaty of 1819 the United States had renounced its claim to Spanish land to the east of the Rocky Mountains and to the north of the Rio Grande which it claimed to have acquired as part of the Louisiana Purchase of 1803 . The republic 's southern and western boundary with Mexico continued to be disputed throughout the republic 's existence . Texas claimed the Rio Grande as its southern boundary , while Mexico insisted that the Nueces River was the boundary . Texas was annexed by the United States on December 29 , 1845 and was admitted to the Union as the 28th state on that day , with the transfer of power from the Republic to the new state formally taking place on February 19 , 1846 . However , the United States again inherited the southern and western border dispute with Mexico , which became a trigger for the Mexican -- American War of 1846 -- 48 .

Though claimed by Spain , it was not formally colonized by them until competing French interests at Fort St. Louis encouraged Spain to establish permanent settlements in the area . Sporadic missionary incursions occurred into the area during the period from the 1690s -- 1710s , before the establishment of San Antonio as a permanent civilian settlement . Owing to the area 's high Native American populations and its remoteness from the population centers of New Spain , Texas remained largely unsettled by Europeans , although Spain maintained a small military presence to protect Christian missionaries working among Native American tribes , and to act as a buffer against the French in Louisiana and British North America . In 1762 , France ceded to Spain most of its claims to the interior of North America , including its claim to Texas , as well as the vast interior that became Spanish Louisiana . During the years 1799 to 1803 , the height of the Napoleonic Empire , Spain returned Louisiana back to France , which promptly sold the territory to the United States . The status of Texas during these transfers was unclear and was not resolved until 1819 , when the Adams -- Onís Treaty ceded Spanish Florida to the United States , and established a clear boundary between Texas and Louisiana . Starting in 1810 , the territories of New Spain north of the Isthmus of Panama ( including Texas ) sought independence in the Mexican War of Independence . Many Americans fought on the side of Mexico against Spain in filibustering expeditions . One of these , the Gutiérrez -- Magee Expedition ( also known as the Republican Army of the North ) consisted of a group of about 130 Americans under the leadership of Bernardo Gutiérrez de Lara . Gutierrez de Lara initiated Mexico 's secession from Spain with efforts contributed by Magee . Bolstered by new recruits , and led Samuel Kemper ( who succeeded Magee after his death in battle in 1813 ) , the expedition gained a series of victories against soldiers led by the Spanish governor , Manuel María de Salcedo . Their victory at the Battle of Rosillo Creek convinced Salcedo to surrender on April 1 , 1813 ; he was executed two days later . On April 6 , 1813 , the victorious Republican Army of the North drafted a constitution and declared the independent Republic of Texas , with Gutiérrez as its president . Soon disillusioned with the Mexican leadership , the Americans under Kemper returned to the United States . The ephemeral Republic of Texas came to an end following the August 18 , 1813 Battle of Medina , where the Spanish Army crushed the Republican Army of the North . The harsh reprisals against the Texas rebels created a deep distrust of the Royal Spanish authorities , and veterans of the Battle of Medina would later become leaders of the Texas Revolution and signatories of the Texas Declaration of Independence from Mexico some 20 years later . Along with the rest of Mexico , Texas gained its independence from Spain following the Treaty of Córdoba , and the new Mexican state was organized under the Plan of Iguala which created Mexico as a constitutional monarchy under its first Emperor Agustín de Iturbide . During the transition from a Spanish territory to part of the independent country of Mexico , Stephen F. Austin led a group of American settlers known as the Old Three Hundred , who negotiated the right to settle in Texas with the Spanish Royal governor of the territory . Since Mexican independence had been ratified by Spain shortly thereafter , Austin would later travel to Mexico City to secure the support of the new country in his right to settle . The establishment of Mexican Texas coincided with the Austin - led settlement , leading to animosity between Mexican authorities and ongoing American settlement of Texas . The First Mexican Empire was short lived , being replaced by a republican form of government in 1823 . Following Austin 's lead , additional groups of settlers , known as Empresarios , continued to colonize Mexican Texas from the United States . In 1830 , Mexican President Anastasio Bustamante outlawed American immigration to Texas , following several conflicts with the Empresarios over the status of slavery in the region . Angered at the interference of the Mexican government , the Empresarios held the Convention of 1832 , which is considered the first formal step in what would later become the Texas Revolution . On the eve of war , the American settlers in the area outnumbered Mexicans by a considerable margin . Following a series of minor skirmishes between Mexican authorities and the settlers , the Mexican government , fearing open rebellion of their Anglo subjects , began to step up military presence in Texas throughout 1834 and early 1835 . Mexican President Antonio López de Santa Anna revoked the 1824 Constitution of Mexico and began to consolidate power in the central government under his own leadership . The Texian leadership under Austin began to organize its own military , and hostilities broke out on October 2 , 1835 at the Battle of Gonzales , the first engagement of the Texas Revolution . In November , 1835 a provisional government known as the Consultation was established to oppose the Santa Anna regime ( but stopped short of declaring independence from Mexico ) . On March 1 , 1836 the Convention of 1836 came to order , and the next day declared independence from Mexico , establishing the Republic of Texas . Independent Republic ( edit ) Map of the Republic of Texas and the Adjacent Territories by C.F. Cheffins , 1841 Politics ( edit ) The second Congress of the Republic of Texas convened in October 1836 at Columbia ( now West Columbia ) . Stephen F. Austin , known as the Father of Texas , died December 27 , 1836 , after serving two months as Secretary of State for the new Republic . In 1836 , five sites served as temporary capitals of Texas ( Washington - on - the - Brazos , Harrisburg , Galveston , Velasco and Columbia ) , before President Sam Houston moved the capital to Houston in 1837 . The next president , Mirabeau B. Lamar , moved the capital to the new town of Austin in 1839 . The first flag of the republic was the `` Burnet Flag '' ( a single gold star on an azure field ) , followed in 1839 by official adoption of the Lone Star Flag . Internal politics of the Republic centred on two factions . The nationalist faction , led by Lamar , advocated the continued independence of Texas , the expulsion of the Native Americans ( Indians ) , and the expansion of Texas to the Pacific Ocean . Their opponents , led by Houston , advocated the annexation of Texas to the United States and peaceful coexistence with the Indians , when possible . The Texas Congress even passed a resolution over Houston 's veto claiming the Californias for Texas . The 1844 presidential election split the electorate dramatically , with the newer western regions of the Republic preferring the nationalist candidate Edward Burleson , while the cotton country , particularly east of the Trinity River , went for Anson Jones . Armed conflict ( edit ) The Comanche Indians furnished the main Indian opposition to the Texas Republic , manifested in multiple raids on settlements , capture and rape of female pioneers , torture killings , and trafficking in captive slaves . In the late 1830s , Sam Houston negotiated a peace between Texas and the Comanches . Lamar replaced Houston as president in 1838 and reversed the Indian policies . He returned to war with the Comanches and invaded Comancheria itself . In retaliation , the Comanches attacked Texas in a series of raids . After peace talks in 1840 ended with the massacre of 34 Comanche leaders in San Antonio , the Comanches launched a major attack deep into Texas , known as the Great Raid of 1840 . Under command of Potsanaquahip ( Buffalo Hump ) , 500 to 700 Comanche cavalry warriors swept down the Guadalupe River valley , killing and plundering all the way to the shore of the Gulf of Mexico , where they sacked the towns of Victoria and Linnville . Houston became president again in 1841 and , with both Texians and Comanches exhausted by war , a new peace was established . Although Texas achieved self - government , Mexico refused to recognize its independence . On March 5 , 1842 , a Mexican force of over 500 men , led by Ráfael Vásquez , invaded Texas for the first time since the revolution . They soon headed back to the Rio Grande after briefly occupying San Antonio . About 1,400 Mexican troops , led by the French mercenary general Adrián Woll , launched a second attack and captured San Antonio on September 11 , 1842 . A Texas militia retaliated at the Battle of Salado Creek while simultaneously , a mile and a half away , Mexican soldiers massacred a militia of fifty - three Texas volunteers who had surrendered after a skirmish . That night , the Mexican Army retreated from the city of San Antonio back to Mexico . Mexico 's attacks on Texas intensified conflicts between political factions , including an incident known as the Texas Archive War . To `` protect '' the Texas national archives , President Sam Houston ordered them removed from Austin . The archives were eventually returned to Austin , albeit at gunpoint . The Texas Congress admonished Houston for the incident , and this episode in Texas history would solidify Austin as Texas 's seat of government for the Republic and the future state . There were also domestic disturbances . The Regulator -- Moderator War involved a land feud in Harrison and Shelby Counties in East Texas from 1839 to 1844 . The feud eventually involved Nacogdoches , San Augustine , and other East Texas counties . Harrison County Sheriff John J. Kennedy and county judge Joseph U. Fields helped end the conflict , siding with the law - and - order party . Sam Houston ordered 500 militia to help end the feud . Government ( edit ) Sam Houston and Stephen F. Austin depicted on a 1936 US postage stamp commemorating 100th anniversary of the Texas Republic After gaining their independence , the Texas voters had elected a Congress of 14 senators and 29 representatives in September 1836 . The Constitution allowed the first president to serve for two years and subsequent presidents for 3 years . In order to hold an office or vote , a person needed to be a citizen of the Republic . However , it is important to note that citizenship was not granted to all previous inhabitants of Texas , and not all of them could even live legally within the limits of the Republic without the consent of Congress . In this regard , the Constitution of the Republic of Texas ( 1836 ) established major differences according to the ethnicity of each individual . Section 10 of the General Provisions of the constitution stated that all persons who were residing in Texas on the day of the Declaration of Independence were to be considered citizens of the Republic , excepting `` Africans , the descendants of Africans , and Indians '' . For new white immigrants , section 6 established that , in order to become citizens , they needed to live in the Republic for at least six months and take an oath . While regarding the black population , section 9 established that black persons who were brought to Texas as slaves were to remain slaves , and that not even their owner could emancipate them without the consent of Congress , while the Congress itself was not allowed to make laws affecting the slave trade or to declare emancipation . Section 9 also established that : `` No free person of African descent , either in whole or in part , shall be permitted to reside permanently in the Republic , without the consent of Congress '' . The first Congress of the Republic of Texas convened in October 1836 at Columbia ( now West Columbia ) . Stephen F. Austin , often referred to as the `` Father of Texas , '' died on December 27 , 1836 , after serving just two months as the republic 's secretary of state . Due mainly to the ongoing war for independence , five sites served as temporary capitals of Texas in 1836 : ( Washington - on - the - Brazos , Harrisburg , Galveston , Velasco and Columbia ) . The capital was moved to the new city of Houston in 1837 . In 1839 , a small pioneer settlement situated on the Colorado River in central Texas was chosen as the republic 's seventh and final capital . Incorporated under the name Waterloo , the town was renamed Austin shortly thereafter in honor of Stephen F. Austin . The court system inaugurated by Congress included a Supreme Court consisting of a chief justice appointed by the president and four associate justices , elected by a joint ballot of both houses of Congress for four - year terms and eligible for re-election . The associates also presided over four judicial districts . Houston nominated James Collinsworth to be the first chief justice . The county - court system consisted of a chief justice and two associates , chosen by a majority of the justices of the peace in the county . Each county was also to have a sheriff , a coroner , justices of the peace , and constables to serve two - year terms . Congress formed 23 counties , whose boundaries generally coincided with the existing municipalities . In 1839 , Texas became the first nation in the world to enact a homestead exemption under which a person 's primary residence could not be seized by creditors . Boundaries ( edit ) The Centralist Republic with the separatist movements generated by the dissolution of the Federal Republic . Territory proclaimed its independence Territory claimed by the Republic of Texas Territory claimed by the Republic of the Rio Grande Rebellions The Texan leaders at first intended to extend their national boundaries to the Pacific Ocean , but ultimately decided to claim the Rio Grande as boundary , including much of New Mexico , which the Republic never controlled . They also hoped , after peace was made with Mexico , to run a railroad to the Gulf of California to give `` access to the East Indian , Peruvian and Chilean trade . '' When negotiating for the possibility of annexation to the US in late 1836 , the Texan government instructed its minister Wharton in Washington that if the boundary were an issue , Texas was willing to settle for a boundary at the watershed between the Nueces River and Rio Grande , and leave out New Mexico . In 1840 the first and only census of the Republic of Texas was taken , recording a population of about 70,000 people . San Antonio and Houston were recorded as the largest and second largest cities respectively . Diplomatic relations ( edit ) Main article : Foreign relations of the Republic of Texas The Hôtel Bataille de Francès ( now Hôtel de Vendôme ) , place Vendôme in Paris , housed the Embassy of the Republic of Texas On March 3 , 1837 , US President Andrew Jackson appointed Alcée La Branche American chargé d'affaires to the Republic of Texas , thus officially recognizing Texas as an independent republic . France granted official recognition of Texas on September 25 , 1839 , appointing Alphonse Dubois de Saligny to serve as chargé d'affaires . The French Legation was built in 1841 , and still stands in Austin as the oldest frame structure in the city . Conversely , the Republic of Texas embassy in Paris was located in what is now the Hôtel de Vendôme , adjacent to the Place Vendôme in Paris 's 2e arrondissement . The Republic also received diplomatic recognition from Belgium , the Netherlands , and the Republic of Yucatán . The United Kingdom never granted official recognition of Texas due to its own friendly relations with Mexico , but admitted Texan goods into British ports on their own terms . In London , the original Embassy of the Republic of Texas still stands , and there is a restaurant with such a name west of Trafalgar Square . Immediately opposite the gates to St. James 's Palace , Sam Houston 's original Embassy of the Republic of Texas to the Court of St. James 's is now a hat shop , but is clearly marked with a large plaque and a nearby restaurant is called Texas Embassy . A plaque on the exterior of 3 St. James 's Street in London notes the upper floors of the building ( which have housed the noted wine merchant Berry Brothers and Rudd since 1698 ) housed the Texas Legation .

On March 1 , US President John Tyler signed the bill . The legislation set the date for annexation for December 29 of the same year . Faced with imminent American annexation of Texas , Charles Elliot and Alphonse de Saligny , the British and French ministers to Texas , were dispatched to Mexico City by their governments . Meeting with Mexico 's foreign secretary , they signed a `` Diplomatic Act '' in which Mexico offered to recognize an independent Texas with boundaries that would be determined with French and British mediation . Texas President Anson Jones forwarded both offers to a specially elected convention meeting at Austin , and the American proposal was accepted with only one dissenting vote . The Mexican proposal was never put to a vote . Following the previous decree of President Jones , the proposal was then put to a vote throughout the republic . Texas statehood 100th anniversary issue of 1945 Proposals for Texas 's north and west boundaries in 1850 debate On October 13 , 1845 , a large majority of voters in the republic approved both the American offer and the proposed constitution that specifically endorsed slavery and emigrants bringing slaves to Texas . This constitution was later accepted by the US Congress , making Texas a US state on the same day annexation took effect , December 29 , 1845 ( therefore bypassing a territorial phase ) . One of the motivations for annexation was the huge debts which the Republic of Texas government had incurred . As part of the Compromise of 1850 , in return for $10,000,000 in Federal bonds , Texas dropped claims to territory which included parts of present - day Colorado , Kansas , Oklahoma , New Mexico , and Wyoming . The resolution did include two unique provisions : First , it said up to four additional states could be created from Texas ' territory with the consent of the State of Texas ( and that new states north of the Missouri Compromise Line would be free states ) . Though the resolution did not make exceptions to the constitution , the U.S. Constitution neither requires Congressional consent to the creation of new states to be ex post to applications nor to expire . To illustrate the strength of the latter caveat , the 27th Amendment was submitted to the states in 1789 , yet was not ratified until 1992 ; thus , the expressed consent of Congress , via this resolution , to the creation of new states would not expire nor require renewal . Second , Texas did not have to surrender its public lands to the federal government . While Texas did cede all territory outside of its current area to the federal government in 1850 , it did not cede any public lands within its current boundaries . Consequently , the lands in Texas owned by the federal government are those which were subsequently purchased by it . This also means the state government has control over oil reserves which were later used to fund the state 's public university system through the Permanent University Fund . In addition , the state 's control over offshore oil reserves in Texas runs out to 3 nautical leagues ( 9 nautical miles , 10.357 statute miles , 16.668 km ) rather than three nautical miles ( 3.45 statute miles , 5.56 km ) as with other states .

[ "The Republic of Texas (Spanish: República de Tejas) was an independent sovereign country in North America that existed from March 2, 1836, to February 19, 1846. It was bordered by Mexico to the west and southwest, the Gulf of Mexico to the southeast, the two U.S. states of Louisiana and Arkansas to the east and northeast, and United States territories encompassing parts of the current U.S. states of Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, and Wyoming to the north. The citizens of the republic were known as Texians." ]
